Digging through the van die I couldn't not last week And I cried I could not last week And I cried I have figured it out, never felt impressionally But this sense of urgency has been wondering with the back I have figured it out, nothing could be true to me But this kind of catch has been on the edge But in order to open it, I was looking for How come my love's seeking a call? Was it that little I can't make it through the night? I couldn't know what else to do I couldn't know what else to do Sometimes I I Rocket League fans around the world, welcome to France for championship Sunday of the Paris major four days of some of the greatest Rocket League gameplay we have ever seen have preceded this moment. the six best teams in the world at this moment in the building. They will compete for the title of Paris major champions today. Gentlemates kicking things off against twisted mind. Cole, once this is incredible. The, the, the, the, well, there's no bad stories. There are no bad matches today. Oh, it's honestly looking at the bracket and I was thinking no matter how it goes, there's going to be someone there for everyone in this beautiful arena. So follow yesterday, we have lots of four ones and a full two. I made it greedy. That's one one new game seven. Just one. It's a special day for Rocket League, it's going to be awesome. This is our biggest major ever who comes out on top, honestly, no one knows. But it's actually incredible. You mentioned Champions' Field. We've had incredible matches on this stage. We have not seen Champions' Field once. Oh, it's due. It's due. It's coming today. I don't know when it's going to come. It might come match one. It might be their match five. I don't know. Never know. But we will be seeing Champions' Field. I can guarantee that. We'll get five of them. They will see 35 games of Rocket League. But now wouldn't that be special, folks? We started off the Paris major with 16 teams from all around the world. And we still have some decent global representation here, but it's one from the Middle East, North Africa, one from North America, and three from Europe. Europe continuing to be the strongest region. Four from Europe. Actually, yeah, usually, you back right now. Man City coming out, and again, that is what Europe does, the best region in all of Rock League for the past 10 years, and they continue to deliver. They continue to deliver most importantly, though, for a North American fans energy not their shot for the building the one remaining representing North America but of course wave you always talk about it something taken from you first place there's 36 points and also 102,000 smackers of work with that's a lot of cash everyone here today right now is already 22,500 dollars with each win they will increase that by an orders of magnitude these are all money matches and also all elimination matches the best type of competition you could have here today I'm excited about it don't Forget folks just on top of the trophy and the points or excuse me I thought the points and the dollars they're getting the top of slight trophy as well fantastic piece of hardware We appreciate Thomas like any one of our partners here on the RLCS Just made you try just a little bit harder You know those game sevens you want to lift that trophy at the end. That's what it's all about. It's huge It's what I mean. We saw with the France team as well They have the trophy from the FIFA E cup It just adds so much more to really hold that thing alone You know and to see the confetti for who done this is a huge moment for any of these players careers Well, the action has been fantastic so far. We're gonna see a few more spectacular moments today for them to hold that trophy. But if you missed yesterday, let's show you the best moments. These are the top plays presented by progressive fates. I'm excited to see what you've cooked up. Fess, we got five plays here, and they're all from one exact series. You know why? Because it's still the best series, and I didn't want to pick any other series that you choose from. It's by Taddy vs. Jell- No, by Taddy. Carme vs. Jell-Mates. Oh, I dare. Carme and Corp. And a K-Corp on FC Barcelona. I don't know. This is the win game number one. You know, T-Juice, Juice, and the field was dropped down fast, and it's a perfect spot on the left side, right there, bottom right corner. You know, like, okay, let's see what gentlemen's can do. What can they match that with? Of course, they got the mechanics. The Rain and Mater champions have not been eliminated, yet the Plano Championship Sunday. Nah, it's freezing all the way across, get the reset, close enough to Oskie. Disgusting. Boom! I can't be... I believe that was at least 131 kilometers per hour on the top of Oskie's end of the finish right there. That's just too much speed. Ducey he can barely even see it coming. That's a fastball coming right down the lane. Nine seconds remaining. Ditto makes trying to make a comeback. Kept him up. Beautiful kickoff. He's still in the setup. Now once he gets it by the turn, but that attoe, just there again. Just stopped the ball from going in. Big save by him. And you'll see even bigger save coming up. This guy with the brick wall on the defense and the disadvantage right here from that's how he's making sure that he can really get back, make the saves when it matters. And of course, number two, maybe the most mechanical, this beautiful display of Rockin League. I'll break this player's heart. End of the armets! Wait, what do you think about this? I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I just be goosebumps every time! That first touch, the setup, all the other touches! Every single one of them important to begin this stop. Otherwise, this is absolutely a goal from the best moments of Dark outfits of all of every scene. Very safe ever. Very safe ever, my estimation, too. Well, of course, gentlemen, they're trying to still compete, going in again, or a 5-0 second remain, but they're home great, the tournament! They're still good at how? Draw them back down to material, and the Ice Man does when he dies! Top left corner shot of Slawna off the reset, right there! Now, James broken down with James right now. That's how this sees Mathira on the right-hand side. Fante takes the top, threes it out, and then in the top left corner. And what we didn't see as well, this was in zero seconds. Mathira, I feel like every other player, even at this level of rockin' league, they slap it in, take the charge. Mathira, he knows. The game is ends with a little hit the floor. Series one. You know, so this guy's staying in it all the way to the end there. That is why they are so good. That's why they're already in the top four, and they're waiting to see who they get to play a little bit later on today, folks. So, we have the Rebellion and CarmiCore in the top four. We've got the results of our first two matches of the day. Gentlemen to twist the lines, we pick off the day. The winner of that plays against the rebellion, then Man City, the underdog story of the tournament here, Cole, taken on vitality. The winner of that plays the blue wall. Yeah, Man City have been absolutely fantastic. You know, they started off in the group stage, you can tell actually, and then that four, one earlier on as well, huge opponents from them. And I think HB is one of the stars of this tournament so far, four matches in 16. I think if you're an underdog and you're going this far, you need one player in particular to really step up. that we've been playing well, but he has been not playing. Well, let's talk about yesterday's matches here really quickly, Gibbs, to catch everybody up most of the top, which was, I mean, imagine today, we just saw a bunch of the highlights there. Carbinkorps versus Gentleman, what a painter. Yeah, we absolutely hiked up this match and these players delivered. It was only a five game set, but Casey and Gentleman looked like that was a grand final match with two best teams so far in this tournament, but it was just awesome to see how every touch was just calculated on the K-Force side, the gentlemen's he got the physical play going a little bit to get some offense but it wasn't enough it wasn't enough in general makes they've been holding his matchup they've won the last match at this one against K-4 they're feeling confident and they also were major champions as well like a fourth honestly go down the Aftow is it improvement on a one-backed three 20 26 or even it's coming in a kickoff land form that has a very elevated this team and a lot of tear-inducing play there but when they're all on the top stop that's the The Mates were trying to get physical and get some offense going and then there were a few times they had Opportunities, but then we had the miracle change by Ato coming out. They're just It just hurts and then zero on the clock and you other than Mityra ice cold from him I love this. I love this goal. I love the fact that he calls out. It's not because straight after this This was the pop-up. He was holding on to this, isn't it? You know, he's there, his hands are shaking, his car doesn't show it, but as soon as it's over, boom that explosion Honestly, the fact that he knew that that was the final game, the final moment, like that he didn't even want in that match, like how incredible he was able to maintain the spot of where he was in the series and also have brain power to play that good in the moment. Well, it makes sense though. He is our second, he played the second most land games of all time. Only behind the time, I believe five or six at the moment, so it's close, but it makes sense they have to control. Tom is not playing today. He's probably going to pass. We'll see him up there, folks. Now, okay. Man City versus Shopify Rebellion, this was our other upper bracket match. Shopify Rebellion coming out stronger. Man City, we gave it a good fight. But it was first-filler of the boys. Did they? Did they? Yeah! Man City, great group stage, but I feel like they were a little bit flat, but that's kind of expected. Two new members of the team playing for the crowd. For the first time, they're gonna have some nerves. And Man City, they love to play defense, but when it's nerdy defense, Rebellion started to pick it apart. Yeah, they got that first game as well. It was a huge phone for them winning that overtime in game number two, so they have experience of knowing what it feels like to make that full explosion here, the crowd shone and cheered for them. Didn't quite manage to carry that forward, didn't actually score a goal after that, which I guess is why you're saying they didn't do enough, but to me, that was great to Rebellion. That was Rebellion playing brilliantly as opposed to the necessarily Man City playing poorly. Yeah, Rebellion's one of those teams, they're like a community, and they can adapt to whatever, whoever's on opposing them, you know what I'm saying? And so when they're going up against Man City, it's gonna play a little bit It's lower and some start playing with us there. They can win games one-on, they can win games two-0. Man City is on them to then improve. They need that down. They can't win games one-to-zero. That's what me and Gizman are doing on this one this whole entire weekend. And Man City really bust out the offense when they need to. And of course, first-seller, he led them there the whole way, that bump play at the end of well. Just great team plays from him throughout that series, and Rebellion's gonna be playing even faster today. They are the only North American representatives still in the bracket, and they're already guaranteed the top four one match away from the Grand Finals. Now, the next match yesterday was Twisted Mines versus Fury. This one, honestly, the match up here, you had the most question marks about. I wanted to know what type of Fury would show up in this Fury a back. And Fury did the same playbook versus energy. Energy made a lot of mistakes early. Twisted Mines did the same thing, but Fury, credit to them, they capitalized on all those mistakes in early game one and game two. And everyone's thinking, is this over already? But then that time out came out by San Jr. And Trish Mines never looked back. They put the switch right there. If I was in game number two, they shot the ball three times. In game number three, they shot the ball 13 times. And the offense started going. It didn't look back. There was very reminiscent. Don't forget enough fun, fat, fun, and quotation marks. When Monkey Moon played, yeah, they just went into a world championship. The first two games, BDS won the next four. And that's exactly what happened here. We bumped into Satunia lunch this morning, and we said, you know, what was set after game two? And he went, I don't know. It was chaos. I think within the spirit of it, all he doesn't know what words he said, But something that was said inside their heads are completely different from what's up to that. Well, exactly. I mean, the first two games, they were double-committed out the wads, and you can play city comms. They were not in cohesion. They weren't in sync. Little adjustments like that, they all had different calm down. You know you could beat them. You know you might be a better team. Just play your game and see how it pays out. Now, we have one more match on the day. This one was a beat down. It was. It was the heroes versus the villains. It was the purple copers coming out by space station game. And it was not enough. They tried, I'll say that, but the physical play didn't even matter. It felt like Vitality just knew what Space Station wanted to do at all times on defense. When Vitality slowed it down, Space Station would double commit. When Space Station came from space, Vitality sped it up. And they obviously had Xen. Xen played out of his mind. Yet again, Paul, Vitality easily won. Xen, yeah, but I mean, we expected from Xen, but Steezy, his step up so far for this event has been incredible. He's made a Grand Finals before, and I don't think when he made that Grand Finals He was playing as well as he is at the moment. Those who have been in perfect form, Exotic's doing his job. The best vitality we've seen in months. Exactly, exact vitality is one of the best statistical teams in the event. Number two in games, number two in shots, number four in goals against, number two in shots against, and number four in save-persons. They are playing both picture-perfect, rightfully on both ends of the ball. And also, they aren't allowing kick-off goals either. And outside of the stats as well, I mean, I was watching their game beforehand against Misha Pajamas in the crowd. And I was just fanboying over the goals that were being scored. The mix of it all. I was giggling. I was juggling. They are conjuring up incredible goals, one after the other, after the other. It's so easy for them at the moment. It felt like they were clipping. They were free play on a top eight stage. That was nothing, honestly. It was ridiculous. They all scored of 18 to 7. I mean, Vitality could not have done more to cement how good they are here in Paris. And we will see them play second today. Very excited to see them in here. Now, we have the Rada 2. We bundled the shot. and it's got the anyone who could go explosion. This is your let them cook a moment where we feature someone cooking something up here. And I mean, the most cooking was definitely done in that blue versus pink match, coffee pour versus mates. And it was all about the blue wall for K-Corp. The defense was so good. Mates tried so dribbling hard, but just could not get any offense going because K-Corp would make the miracle saves, but also the positional play on defense was fantastic throughout K-Corp. They were actually underdogs in this match, but they came out and dominated for five games. I mean, it dominated their own way too. They really are just in sync at the moment. There's moments like this, especially too, where our talent really stepped in. That's an incredible save. If you see it from, I believe, I think, now that she's stepping across, and that he thinks it's in. And it's actually funny because eight corp scored their first goal in this game, in that exact same manner where it was shot over there in. Over Jiddlemaze's head, and then Jiddlemaze thinks they have the same thing, and it just can't go in. Even as, I think this is the material save right here, where you just have the top right on a shot of Slot of him. And it's simply not enough. That ball has to be at least 95% in. But they're missing that 5% gifts. And that shot is in 99 out of 100 times, even with Patera back there. But they were just on another level yesterday. Incredible. I mean, some people might be like, oh, if it goes in 95, even when Patera is back, that just means he's lucky. But luck is just preparation plus opportunity. You have the preparation. You have the opportunity to get the block. It was fantastic. Now, you got twisted minds taken on. The gentlemates here to kick things off. James bot as in the telephone station has some breakdown of one of these plays James. What you got for us? Yeah, this is from game four of the cake court versus gentlemates. I asked what he wanted to see He said I need to see something from this year's also appreciate it buckle up This is a long one. So if you guys want to jump in and put out what you love Let me know but this is a swing game in my opinion hugely important an Opportunity or gentlemates to have tied things up of forced overtime and then who knows but it starts out with NASA from his back corner gonna go for an air triple bump play victory dodges it but also dodges the ball that allows Oskie to get a really nice 50 out to the corner and this is what gentleman's just trying to do they're trying to boost star k-corp they're trying to push that line forward trying to make things as awkward as possible so Archie wants to keep that pace up goes for a wall pinch here to try to keep things very awkward for k-corp and then look at the timing on the boost as well he's gonna be able to perfectly pick up that mid-boot as he goes for this. Perfect time. Absolutely perfect timing. And then here this is a great opportunity. I think one thing that I saw was the mates were effective at generating squaring chances. They just couldn't put him away. But look at this perfect double tap setup Archie though doesn't get a high hit on the back where that allows Ato to be able to make a better play on the ball. And he gets an effective hit to the corner. But look at how good Nass is. This is such an incredibly difficult first touch. Look at this first touch to set up the second. Gets that first touch puts the ball in a great spot for him and now he's going to do a flip through touch to allow him to get the pass to the middle but also allow him to get ahead of the ball to land this bump on Juicy and you can see how things are looking grim. Juicy no poof at low. It's sure the very effective challenge here but Oskie gets a brilliant 52 this ceiling and also forces Atto to go and And this is where Gentlemage were finally able to break him down and capitalize. Oskie has Archie taking the shot. And so you're good. But how do you get out of this one? You just try to get off that. But you're not moving. Oskie parks the bus right on his head and gets the goal. 12 boosts too right there James. Archie top left shot with 12 boosts. Yeah, that was a very difficult shot. I mean, you could spend a ton of time and we're not, we're not done yet. I said buckle up. I'm buckled up already. So this is the kickoff strategy that Gentlemates had right after that goal. This was a chance for Gentlemates to tie it up. It's a good kickoff. You got Oskie up at the front left and watch what he does. K-Corp also one of the best kickoff teams in the game. Oskie is going to go forward. He's going to peel off the ball at the last second. Slow kickoff. Doesn't even take it. And now here they have him beat. Atto and Fittier are both going for the corner boost. If Archie can time his flip perfectly and power shot it, He might be able to slot it, but instead he's going to try to go for a control play, the flip after the clutch. And now, he's got Vittira, B, watch this. Cuts it around, gets it past Vittira, even lands the demo, but who has been the player that's been the nightmare defensively for Gentlemates this game, and has been actively denying it over and over again. Gets the clear out, but still, Gentlemates aren't done generating chances. Atom, taken out of the play by this beautiful first touch, and it looks like this is the scoring chance. This is it, but Archie... Archie pre-jumps. Oh, yeah. He pre-jumps this ball. Juicy is also gonna get beat. There's no one back. If Archie just waits a split second, he can see the shooting window he would have had. Right here. This was the shooting window. It's wide open. Not able to get it, but still, there is hope for gentlemates that clear comes out. What's up, my students? I'm exhausted, James. Oh, they still have basketball. Hey, pre-jump was the... What are the other themes? But you'll see that, that pre-jump, completely voluntary by Archie, this next one forced out, you'll see how Nass controlling this here. Again, doing a great job of dodging the bump from Vittira as well, but Vittira, not done with that play yet. He sees Archie, Archie's in the middle, this is what you want, a player high on the wall with the receiving player having a ton of boost so that they can make a play. But Vittira is speed flipping in, he has Archie in his sights, he's not going to land the bump, but look what he forces Archie to do. could have hit the brakes maybe and tried to wait but he trusts that Nas is gonna hit him in the air but Nas with not much boost because Vitira was hassling him to the must be passed off target RG out of the play and that was gonna be game secure for K-Core. Wow. Wow. James go take a water break. Thank you so much. That's what I will say that took me a while to put together. You haven't seen you today and that's why. Alright. We actually have James that you would find a day. Incredible to see that archy pre jump at the beginning where he's like, I'm going to get in the air and I'm going to be confident. But by the time I get there, there will be boosted in my tank. Like I'm jumping over the boost pad, I'm just sucking up the as it's going through. But then the pre jumps is also what ended up being their demise around the first step. Yeah, he got a little too happy. Happy, happy, happy. Kancor were making these goal line saves out of nowhere. So he's like, I have to rush this exactly at the perfect shot. So, uh, give the word, we got the, the championships on there were to be crowned the champion of the Paris Major at the end of today. We're also gonna be crowned the Paris Major MVP. Who are our front runners? Yeah, so production asked me only. They didn't want teammates' opinions, so I decided to put up some players here. We got Zen, obviously, on Vitality. We got Vatira for Taker. I think that could also be Ato as well. He's been playing phenomenal. First killer, obviously, for Rebellion, Monkey Moon. What a legend. He's 4-0 after that Tiki's Arena announcement, and then Oskie for Gentlemates. I think that one's a little bit up in the air as well so far for me. Oh man, it's not a bad place I think I'll take a month more put in say go I think it's been more valuable a man see sure I've been looked why but outside that I think your three main Contenders are your first reason so zero so okay. I've all been too great It's just on another level then like there are passes or shots where it's like everyone else gonna flip your set double tap this But instead I'm gonna go under the ball and scoop it to a different corner like no other player here has a chance to make plays like that. I think what I like about sense mechanics is that he seems to almost make without ego. If the best thing to do is just to product forward for a teammate, he will. He won't think, hey look, I could have got a double flip reset because we all know he could have got a double flip reset. And captain of the blue wall, but Tyra is having a tournament for himself. He wants redemption based on Lyon. He is looking amazing. Yeah, but Tyra right now is having one of his best physical lands of all time. He's number one in bulls right now. Number three in score. Number one in saves for a game. three in shots number seven is shooting. Fatero has been unstoppable. If you want to win today, he would be a seven time land champion, first killer. Still looking for that first major win, and he's been putting all the work into trying to get it here in Paris. Well, listen, let me tell you something, because the first killer he's on, Fatero also seems to be on the same time. It seems to be like it could be a collision course between Estor and KC. If FK wants to become a major champion, he's got to go probably for Fatero. I saw somebody say on Twitter earlier, Monkeyman's been doing this for six years. It has to end soon. I don't think it does have to end soon, because now he used to be the fastest player in the world He's not that anymore. He's adapted and that is what these champions that is what these regular tournament winners do He's been a defensive rock too for this team throughout this He is putting up off into numbers was more about his defense and finally Oskie on the maids I think he's the EU MVP for the whole year and he continues to provide value to the maids He's providing value especially in the land where NASA is still performing, but he hasn't been as exceptional as he was in Boston. So, Oskie stepped it up when he needs to. If he didn't want to be successful, NASA got to step up to go back to their fault and form, and in order to have to do what he does, he consistently shooting shots, placing them, and making everything easier. Those are our front runners for MVP here in Paris, but they're also on the battle for the progressive accolades. These awards will be awarded at the end of the World Championship in September. Nass right now, Oskis teammates sitting on the top of the striker leaderboard. He's been pretty strong there. Oskis sitting there competing for Playmaker though. Maybe see if he can catch up some ground here today. They will have an opportunity against two players ahead of them there, Monkey Moon and Noble. Here's our perdition battles. I'll take this one right now. I'm number two. I'm like, he's number three as well. Cole in the top five. Wave one. You're on the top row. Well done. But the bottom is the bet here for the Ducky Ty, Jordan, Shokun, and James battling out for who is the worst in prediction. So Shokun just really won that dub time because I'm just made out of that. My guy's not been on platformer days. He's been trying. But it's not been working out. Folks, if you like watching a Rock and League and you have family and friends who maybe don't play the game or are familiar with watching it from the POV of a player, check out the RLCS crowd cam. It's not TV slash RLT sports. It's got a sideline camera. It's more similar to a traditional sports view and experience, great way to initiate people into watching Rocket League, or maybe just an alternate way to view the games while you're watching it. Yeah, it's awesome to analyze based on that, because you can see the plays unfold, so it is a great site. And it's also fun to put in a crowd. True. That's the idea. You get to see what that experience is like. Exactly. We've all thought about it, we're fucked. We've got five matches, you saw them there in the bracket, we'll play them in this order with gentlemights taken on Twisted Lines to kick things off, Manchester City versus Team by Talon, who will be next. We'll have Shopify Rebellion taken on the winner of our first match. A bunch of question marks in the middle there. We've been teasing it, but you're gonna have to tune into... There's gonna be more questions for another three hours, and then we'll find that. It's gonna be incredible. It's gonna be an incredible carving course point after that, and then we will have the Korean finals of the Paris Major. We'll kick things off for Championship Sunday. It's time for the first match. Introducing first, on the blue side, two-time world champion, Monkey Mood, 1v1 world champion, Nobo, and the pre-boss, A. Chris Lennon, and Rock of the Sea, R.K. This is Twisted Minds. I'm not gonna say that. Twist of Mind has been led up by the two-time world champion at Monkey Moon. I'm playing in front of this whole country. He's ready to perform. We've already talked about him, Gibbs. You have him in your top five for MVP, right? He's got two great counterparts alongside him. Oh, yeah. The whole team is popping off. That's why they're the number one offense right now. In the tournament, that seems like it always happens with TRK-led teams. So he, again, is looking fantastic. But there's also Anchored by Nobo, who's the 1v1 world champion. So, don't you think that's too loud in here? Yeah, if he gets it, he's probably going to be number one. Well, if he gets space, watch out. Yeah, not our big fan after beating Morksy last time around in that 1v1 Grand Finals last season. So, it's an interesting one. I don't think I know how you can support one player on the team and actively hate the other player on the team and root for the team. I don't even know what it means, mate. Oh, I mean, I think there's got to be a rush for this man right here. They want to see him be successful. And honestly, looking at this match, I take the legitimate, I know they've got to pick band mates. He's really good all the rest of them basically today the French route for the French and in TRK They go to Mina. They're trying to make things happen for himself a year ago today He probably would never say he'd be playing for Twisted Lines He's probably thinking about him for life about this are here right now. TRK still is and he's trying to make something happen He was just with the France Halls World Championship, but now he's back with a brand new team and trying to get right back there Twisted minds they look strong they look ready, but only excellent teams make it to championship Sunday. And their opponents are on the inside! The champions of the Boston Major is Archie, Nass, and Lord Oscar. They are... Tickle Man! I'm talking a lot about home field advantage here in Paris, I feel like this is one of the matches where there's really going to be cheering on both sides. There's a huge gentlemates here and then there's all the people that are a little bit annoyed at the gentlemates fans and will root against anybody else and hey, they've got monkey goers on the other side to root for, but then there's also people that are not big noble fans. There's a little bit of going and cheering happening all over the place. And I love the walk out, because Archie Natsky is so serious. And I feel like Nas just has the cosplay being serious for a couple of minutes, and then he's going to be his cheerful self after where there he is, Nas. He's in this element. The best offensive performance in the grand finals in history was just three months ago. He wants to replicate that now. Yeah, nothing's been forgotten between now and then for Nas. One of the most likable players there is, and Archie speaking of likability. This player has come so far. He made it through in 2020, look down there, he was a top bloke, and now here he is, on the verge of the French players' sweethearts in him. And there are no bad stories on Championship Sunday here, Oskie looking to become European MVP in the past year, performance here. But the gentleman is trying to go back to back as a major champion to 20-27. And let's not forget that the Mates all three of them that was their first grand finals ever and they Destroy that issue going into a crowd like this where the nerves are gonna be a little bit high We know on the other side they can definitely ball as well like even and TRK and even Nova but Both sides just so much experience and so much ice from across the all six players It's gonna be fun with a story for twisted minds only one team has ever taken the title of major champion That wasn't from North America or Europe and it was their local Arabian brothers the Falcons back last season They're trying to become the second to do it and monkey moon trying to get back in that winning ways the first time in a long time Exactly a tier cables on that focus came to handle that back and rally almost a year ago to this point I was looking at the head-to-head nobo versus a large Oscar and Oscar's been falling down for two to me Yeah, it feels like it's all about the goal participation for asking He's number four in the entire tournament on a team that is scoring rather well. So the mates are doing great Nobo has a bunch of good numbers, but it's also his teammates helping out a lot The gentleman's as well, that is different. Oskie is normally the player that likes to sit at the back and approach only when he's native He's really taken on the front foot. It's sort of what the gentleman, it's what the gentleman seems to be Not so much last-round in the stock outstage. Will they go with the same approach today with them? We will see how they approach things again. The game plans from Statsky have been so strong. He knows how to prepare for the opponents ahead of him. It's a huge part of what gave him that win in Boston, but everyone is adapting consistently for the course of the RLCS season. They are adapting. I will say, I just feel like the Kildermase energy is a little bit different now. Walkout is a little different to me. Yes, they have a little bit of hope. Also, like a little bit of, yeah, we're on the road right now. I mean, three straight wins in a row against Carmen. three straight wins while dropping the game at this event until yesterday. But today's championship Sunday, then they are champions now. They know what it takes to get there. Who's that trophy? I'm expecting a different gentleman today. Yeah, they walked out through group stage nine and oh, but they just got punched in the mouth yesterday. They have to bounce back from that. And their clinic gets a twist of mind's team. That is running through this whole bracket. They had a quick hiccup for two games versus Furia. But if you watch those last four, that's how twisted minds plays. It's all about offense. It's all about pressure. That's exactly what I was going to say. If Twisted Minds start as poorly as they did against Fury, and a Jettler makes Twisted Minds start that poorly, I can't see Twisted Minds making a big comeback the way they could against Fury. They have to at least be going neck and neck in the first two or three games in order to give themselves. It's a completely new opponent to the Maids. K-Cork, they did it with defense. Twisted Minds doesn't really play defense. They're a middle of defense. Their defense is playing offense, so if the Maids can control their defensive half, which they are known to do, They will do rather well versus Twisted Minds. But I expect this to be a rather high score in here. I mean, you look at the numbers from yesterday. You think, oh, Twisted Minds, they won their series. Gentleman's got beat four to one. He said, yeah, they got smacked in the mouth. But I mean, the way they got that match, if they were going against anybody else, the way the gentleman's were playing those, they would have beaten anyone else in this tournament. It's just because of how good the blue wall was yesterday, which makes me think they're favorites in this matchup. But yeah, I don't know. Let us know who you think is going to win in the rest of FanVote, and we will also make our picks on the desk. Cole, who you got? I always have to go with my head, and I think based on what I've seen from both these teams the last couple of days, the team that is coming into this with momentum, playing like it better. It's Twisted Minds. Twisted Minds? Yeah. Didn't you pick Gentlemane's to win this thing? I did, I did. I just think that I've got to adapt as I go along. For me, Twisted Minds has stepped up, Gentlemane's on a slight decline. It might change. Okay. I do think Mates are favorite here, but I think it's 55-45 But I'm gonna go with the 45. I'm going with twist of minds I think monkey moon is playing on another level right now, and also monkey moon owns Bukarchi and Oskie, so I'm going with monkey moon. Monkey moon is a strong pick. Fates Twisted minds played one tune so far is actually on the level of this event at loss There was shot by five or billion everybody else that are beating their better than whether not better than this general mace team They're on their level. Gentlemates will be handling in a series. Gentlemates continue to move on. I got gentlemates here. They should handle business here. Hurry. The gentlemates, they're such a strong roster. Coming in as champions, I think, is actually bolster them. If there's one of the French squads, I think doesn't feel the pressure of playing in front of French fans. It's the gentlemates. Give me the gentlemates here. They're going to continue things on the warm up they had yesterday. It was exactly what they needed, folks. Well, we don't really care what I think. We care what fate says folks gentlemates on one side twisted minds on the other and it comes up for the gentlemates on this Will it matter at all? I don't know the fates versus the mates. We will see they've got a bit on their side What about a little I think this is gonna be such a different matchup as you said gives there's gonna be no defense against them I can't see heroic three man defensive walls from twisted minds. It will be an absolute shootout It's gonna be five full matches who comes up? Yes, I have to see NAS with that offense. That's the only way Yeah, I do. I feel like it's a gentleman's defense gonna be the X Factor here Can they hold out the twisted minds offense because both sides are gonna be firing all cylinders here folks We've been talking long enough. It's time to kick off championship Sunday This is what we live for 16 still very much alive in the pursuit of glory and the last team standing earns not just the trophy but the pride that comes with having won it here now in what has been the biggest major in the history of our sport. The anticipation is building! So many unanswered questions and now we get answers! Can anybody stop Mookie Moon on the round of four where Little Gentleman wins back to Dark Major? It's time to rate the final chapter of this historic major. It's time to kick off Championship Sunday! The championship Sunday was we've never seen before. And properly, it's the roof of the line of forcery in here in Paris. Five best to sevens in front of the biggest crowd in our history. Let me kick it off right here with the GOAT taking on a student of Army. And I think they've all turned up. This is game one by Progressive. Let's get stuck here. CJ, this is the most historic championship Sunday we are going to have in forever. This is a twisted mind versus the maids. You've been here with them, watching the road, a funky man. They were saying the road that he's led to here hasn't been difficult enough. I argue this is the one to prove for twisted minds that they have what it takes to win. There's so much of his reaction to that digital arena announcement. working on the gentleman, the major champ looking for a back to back, looking to respond off that loss to KC, seeing that usually at a hand with relative ease but not his time, not in parents, chance Sunday can they rerun the script. The only one I'm going to find out is right here, it's twisted mines with a little bit of pressure. Now, mate, some very high level defense and that's what you're going to need to bring to the table here, Archie, first in line to make that Clare Nomsky trying to follow. We're watching for the start here for Twisted Mines. They were slow against Grury yesterday, the first two games. How do they respond? How do they come out of the gates? They can't afford to drop the first two. They can't afford to start slow against the major champs right here. It's going to leave that ball. It's been early pressure for Twisted Mines. Mike Camus, hot-win on. They would have catched both teams get a chance to settle in. You can feel pressure trying to get built up here by the mates, although they do get cut off. He's gonna try and catch it. A little bit of a miss on this. TRK no boost though, loses possession straight back to the Mates. This is a tug-of-war here out mid for this ball. Hockey man, gonna flop that ball for an Oskie. Into the corner first, it's TRK! Such a solid pass. Look at this monkey bird with the set up. Even though Hockey got a hand on, he still recognizes he has enough space to make the center of the corner. And TRK obviously, this is TRK. we're talking about he's going to clean up every single time. It was a poor touch by Oste and he was last man for a while. I couldn't speed. Hope you don't put it into your own net. It's been doing so well down the other end, twisted mind snacks. Looks to control flight, but Disney goes slow. It hasn't moved at all. Three to beat, in fact. Low boost is a twisted. The general mates instantly responding and they can feel pressure off this. You can see they've got the absolute mechanics. Only monkey move with boost. He's just committed. Boost left. West general mates, they're looking to stride. As the box, the The bumps come in, still under a lot of trauma here. The twisted mind's deep bench. And right now the men's are just playing this one a little bit further out. They understand how aggressive the twisted minds can be in the center. Oh, just a miss. It was a really clean one though. From Harje's going to try and run it back here. Leaves it to Oskie. Another miss gives the mates another opportunity here. Goes for the bump up. Look, he moved that. It's there to collect. It's low boost for twisted minds. This could be it if the pressure's sustained. Let's go around here, Shorley. Put the bump with the hand up to the straight down. I love this set up from the mates, there's a lot of pressure for each one but twisted minds more than capable just haven't been able to find themselves in that orange side. Nobo, round one. Don't give them there to set them up if it goes down and set TRK on the back line. Next, hands off to Orchiel. Big shot, NJ! We saw this yesterday from Tristavons. The positioning. It's awkward. They were double He still commits the low as well, particularly in those first two games against Uriah. That was just caught out of position most of the time, TRK creeping up as well. And Archie's going to find it back in there every day of the week if you give him a look. Twisted mind is now going to have to play from a deficit into the final two. Let's see what they can work with here, but it's same story for the man, they've got the pusher. Another attempted lead down, I like this from Nas though, Nas has been playing a little bit further back. Has a quick and unleashed yet mainly because they don't need to but this could be it completely blocked off great bomb CRK He gets intercepted as well Now nas finds a nice challenge like you mean he's gonna pop it up. He's actually gonna get almost around off speed Lose every single each of that panic just to pop it wide month you mean What's the difference setting up that first goal for crk needs to find some more magic here at game one moment and 20 on the clock now Now, Archie just looks to love the ball forward as well. Oskie keeping the ball there, gentlemen mates. We're very happy with how this looks right here. Yes, they should be in there. They have so much control when they're on this ball. Even when they almost lose it here, it looks like they are deciding when this ball is going to leave and at what pace. Another challenge from CRK. Nobo next just has to offer something. That's off the play. That monkey man can set something up, but some mates have done such an incredible job Cutting them off in every regard. I can move his face. He's looking for the bump on Oskie he had. Now I'm going right down. Here is Nass. We should have one on one. Off the corner now. Anyone home? Nass gots you. Get it. Drops a shot on. I can move. Let's get up in time to make the block. Twist the mines. And they find the counterattack. It's a big win. It's a big win. He's got it. Turn. Get it. Look at this. Now go up into the corner, it's a rare odd defense, and he knows from now on that's getting snipe-strated! What a read! As the gentlemaid's defense collapses, the 1v1 champ steps up! 2-2! Twisted Mines, taking it right to the major champs right now! Twisted Mines really got to play into having him on the 1v1, but now can show them how it's done as well! Oh, my God! He didn't know that I was going to win! I shall never lose again! Let it collapse! The post read, it doesn't matter if it's the first year of the league or the tenth. Sometimes you just don't know where that ball's going to go. At least it might work so hard. All that he was up, it might have furriking won though. TRK wanted to give them some hope there to pass over to Monkey Moon all the back of the top. Yes! That was scary! But the GOAT refuses to lose! Monkey Moon just does the midfield of Gentleman. Three double, three three. If there's one thing to know about Monkey Moon, it's that he does not lose our championship Sunday. Now for being set up with no boost in the tank, this is prime opportunity for the gentlemen to get to the other side. Look at what you carry, but it's on the ground and overtime for game one. It's been a day of running mistakes on both sides, but capitalization on both ends as well. That's what you've got to do on Chance Sunday. The other team gives you a look. You've got to punish Nass off the roof. MVP of Boston. When it comes through, Oskie, looks to keep it, reset, monkey man, he shits for him, but low-thrust as well, Archie, upstairs, gets blocked, Nash will have space on board, is he gonna be gentleman through a game one, gets dust for the nice positioning, there from Oskie to the man, he's off the road to himself, has the flip, does he have support underneath, goes to fate, can step with the flip, Mr. Monk should be out of hand on this one. It's a touch off with it. Oh wow, it's over two! It's over two! It's over two! And Monk, you're in space! The rarest mess and more than he's going to think about for quite some time should they not be able to find anything here with the mate who will come and collect it. Waiting to see what they can bring to the other side of the table on no boost though. Possession to TRK. Now for the space, to go towards the fake first Oski, monkey nerd, cratespeak once again for him. Now my mark the good measure off the corner, still genomates, having to defend on Nass, switch again. Genomates, mistakes galore in this game on from them, now the twisted minds can't go after this, can they punish, can they find the bump? Great read by Nass, still genomates not out of trouble aren't you? He's whipped! Genomates everywhere, mistakes galore! This is not the cleanest version of the man's we've ever seen and it doesn't help what TRK is going into your head, but Nass is going to break them out. The manager's going to get that midfield boost and give himself some control, but he's bumped off entirely. What shot taken, what steps out to the side, it's TRK. Giant get twisted minds out, but Nass has all the plans. They catch her Nass, Mokimune, blocks to the side. Beautiful 50 coming through, Oskie. His bench is full, like it is. As he just gather himself, he's been dark, T-R-K looking to turn. There's no fun, smart play from Archie just to keep the ball in. Gentlemates, try and stick it through to Ken, but they have found a way out. They're going to cancel the attack now. The boys from Mina and one of the French guys on what a safe go for Nass. Incredibly off, he can hit the crowd. And we're going to hurry. Did you get that? The big search, beat the hole. Safe by Oskie. Malkin's run up next to the line and it's here. He's going to have to make that cut and brace this ball to the back. Velcro makes the safe form. He's going to try and carry it all the way down the legs of the field. The pass-off comes through and still the shot might not be eight. Oskie, counter attack. Obiskity fast, has to make the touch. Sheer's play. Archie got a fake one. Then turns the wall, turns to the corner. CRK quickly needs someone underneath. Who's he gonna be? Monkey Moon? Paytip has to beat Nas, does well. Still has Archie. Can't it just fall through the shot though? Twisted Mines getting out off his. Oskie just looking to keep the ball in. It's a beautiful good thing. It has found a shot. Ah, Nats! What's he gonna say? Twisted Mines' priority is trying out. There's some resources, but they might be able to do this on nothing. TRK, Monkey Moon working together. No go spawn for Monkey Moon. They still gotta play off what they have in the reserve. Here comes Naupland. More than enough, but ball taken away again. three minutes, three minutes of overtime. One more to your one ladies, a chance watching our home. Game one champ, Sunday's biggest event in our esports history. The pitch comes through, Tristan Mines. They are low boost balls in the right end, however they stabilize off the corner. Oskie, they have worked on these corner ends, Jenna makes a fist of you. Now, Bo, he's gonna have a free shot. He might have a free double. Nass! Nass has done an incredible job of stepping up for them, you've seen Archie in that numerous times on the low. Nobody's going to mess with that this time though. I'm monstrous sad to keep up mate till the overtime. They're just hanging in though. They're just hanging on and that's about it. Moji move, reset, drop down four. Anyone underneath? That was the most difficult mate to get. It's so fortunate with these 50s. This is the version of NAS that we saw in Boston. Trying to put them on his back and carry them forward. Twisting mines are making this difficult though. Oskie in the ceiling and it's another 50 ball one. No follow-up, it's a little bit slow. slow, Archie trying to get the position on the back of the thing, but Nass wants to go for the what do you want? That looks really good for Gentleman, it's Mike Kimmett finds 250s, Oskie with a little touch across, beats 2, Mike Kimmett, who else? Last line, Twisted Mines find their way out, Nass wanting to keep the ball in, he gets removed from the pitch, we're 4 and a half minutes in now, there will be the difference, it's about moments, it will make the opportunity, Archie missed certainly, he looks for the 50, but Nass backed off. Nass had the opportunity to go for it but like you said calls himself off but not to the enemy. CRK into the corner, Twisted-Mote, Mote, Big Big Drabble, and it's... You don't come between Mote Moon and a shit-star-day win! Watch and over time. Five minutes. I wouldn't say it was the best rock. We've seen there were mistakes from both sides. But when you're looking for one man to stand up, why not to go? Second shots alone from Monkey Moon. Involved on two of those. One assist to his name on top of it. I mean, like you said, this is a pretty scrappy Rocket League, But it's valid from the gentlemen these two teams have played each other I have multitude of times with gentlemen I've never quite been able to win Now as far as monkeyman's concerns since they made the world's announcement. He has not lost I think he quite likes I think he's arena. I think he quite likes it in there as soon as we heard As soon as you heard about the announcement He's absolutely locked in his elevated himself because he knows Coming with some form to the world's hand, which it's her life goodness Who's this of mine taking all our monkey move winning in other worlds at that venue would be ridiculous. Oh, man I've been right now with the weather playing in the head the head. Oh, he Joe mates is a lot scrappier Especially in comparison to what we all saw in Boston and they can clean it up a little bit I think there is a world where they can fight this but statistically on paper in their heads right now Twisted Minds have your grant. And General Mates respond, that's the question. He's yesterday. Well, it just looked a little rattled for the first time there against KC. For a matchup that usually would favor them, just starting to see maybe the pressure. Oh, the General Mates army, when you have so much support, we know that France isn't really a victorious place for France teams. We saw it in the show matches, we saw it in Leon. But Marky Bird, maybe he's found the half, the cheat code. If he's not on a French team, then he get the job done. It feels a little different. I will say that he still manages to get this arena to cheer for him. So that helps with the psych out of, you know, Napo and TRK on his side. You're going up against the mates. The mates are sitting across from them full lights in the corner of their eyes trying to do everything in their power to make this more difficult. But so far it's happened enough that five minute overtime. If it plays out that way over and over this could get exhausting for them. It's got to be a long series. If we have ten minute games, we'll get all the way through. his best of seven and we've got five of these big boys today five best of sevens in front of this enormous crowd here in paris quite liking the look at this place actually i really like coming back sometime i tell you that much christin minds want to start playing over water performance just those stupid times you mentioned the come exhausting they can't they have mentally taxing as well if you're the team that comes out and they're losing and it can be tough to bounce back but this This is John Lankes, this is Snasky, a team that has been known for their consistency. You know what you're going to get with this team, so we're expecting a response. Oh listen, you talk about knowing what you get with this team, they've matched up before. And one of the more notable head to head is Munkyman versus Archie. Munkyman has won 12 times out of the 17 that they've matched up. 12 and 4 against Oskie. I mean, you got that mental challenge in the back of your mind as well. You can see, you know, this is, like we said, a much more shaky version of the mix. And for good reason, you're basically facing off against your kryptonite. We mentioned that to the EU talent as well. And they said, well, that's when Monke Mood was a world champ when he was on BDS. Why? But it's still the nameplate. It's still Monke Mood. And there are these individual head-to-head matchups. these individual records. But now you're looking at that Archie and Oskie, facing, Monkimoo is facing the goal. It might not be BDS. But really, we don't know how good this team should be, right here, right now, or at the World Championships, when we know that Monkimoo will elevate. Generalmates, they dropped the first. You just had to remake that survey, get ourselves back in if you're wondering why the Generalmates boys aren't Locked in yet. It looks like we are clearing up We are ready to go. So junior what a time out from him yesterday as well turn you down to get to your a they call the TO They went for the bounce they wake up My community out both I found a connection. They stopped up committing and they locked in So far like we've said on paper They've got all the right pieces to do so. It could have ended badly there. At least started off on the wrong foot, but the gentleman's going to have to run this one back. Monkey Moon's big clear, pinched her off the corner. Big demo's going to stop it on it, but the mates try to play this one a little bit calmer. Still half of Venus, mechanically and individually consistent, gentlemen, particularly from what we saw in Boston. I mean, that was superhuman in that event. in that event. Haven't said it yet, we have seen so much of the defensive as well, the wish coming through have been pretty prominent, but I want to be a chance right here. Not to be. We have gotten some glimpses of that version of Mass, but unfortunately, like you said, it we're missing the consistency version of it. On the flip side of things, Twisted Minds, this is the best they've played in what feels like forever. Number one in offensive goals for Twisted Minds, their attack looks like no other. It's up to the Mates to slow So far they've been able to do so, can they do it again? This is the first man that come in as Hot Fagret. They need to live up to that reset. See, okay, easy enough for him off the back, but he's actually going for an early bump. Which doesn't help, we're gonna just skip that first man, but they commit to, he commits an Archie. He can get a look on last, off the foot for a bump. Archie just doesn't get the reset. These are the mechanics that you just need to be hitting with that space. You can also feel the desperation in some of these players They just want to get on the board and then just hold it, but they've not even granted the space to take some shots at this point. It's twisted minds back in their half, even with Archie clearing out, he goes straight into the nose of Monkey Goat. Crows go over the 1v1, get stuck. That second man in the struggle needs to be, they get a small look at third and they can't capitalize here, gentlemen. Twisted minds, they haven't had much offense, so overall a better start here for general mates. But another missed shot. He's near the crowd as well. I'm getting frustrated with these opportunities going right. Oscar got a great pop to himself. Off the roof. Valkyrie, Cleary, Twisted Mines, no for their offense. The number one offensive team coming into this event. I'm gonna spoil the fence! No! No! It was Sneak Attack from Valkyrie! Look at this! You see how he kicked off a Lizzie Pop-Dog, but he's like, we're gonna touch the Valkyrie move! He thought he was popping it back to his third manner! You can see his face of regret on that touch. The third game was Oskine. I am, listen, you take what you can get. This is what I was saying. The Mates have been hoping for that opening lead. They do an incredible job of playing these low scoring games, being able to hold up on defense. Oskine get the radar, and he does get a no-nazhi on the great shot, and he has the first shot of his sense. They're going to have to line back on this, and he has to work with them next. You want me on course, fuck his forward, now go absolutely to the right! Just keep keeping, that's all I'm on, monkey moon. He's caught, put that off, team. Air trouble, time to talk again, you nasty, reset, fake one! Both members are twisted, re-TRK lucky enough with that corner, boost one. Can he beat three himself? Pop, reset, anyone home, easy enough for Nass. Don't try to keep the ball in here, monkey moon, he wants to turn the corner, he doesn't get the catch he was looking for. So that's the pop-up, except the 50, Archie, 3 set, 1 more, 2 more. They're about 3 for good measure, doesn't find. Down both ways. Oh, hang on, what a pass! What is he doing? Five teams! And just persisting on another. Oski, what is this? They can't keep doing that, Oski. They're not gonna hand them out for free. A tight game here with 147, this is where the time is really going to start to feel a lot faster. This is a mind game of Scrappy Rocket League between the two. What's getting to work out? What's the amy-san? He was the third-hand Patristic getting the first goal. And then he gives Tristan a little one as well, a little bit... Just ridiculous. He could have gone to the other corner, he overthought it, he didn't get a touch, he was looking for it. Archie hasn't found a shot that's looked like going on target, he hasn't connected with the ball, but he needs to step up, but that's the positive, it's hotline. Both teams still looking shaky, Oskie catches, can heat up the defender. TRK up in the air, the collect comes through, Twisted Minds are out. That final minute is really where it's going to start to ramp up for Twisting Mines. They know the speed from their head angle. Fury and T.R. came with a shot on Net. Okski keeps him out and the demo comes through to try and pull him back, but Twisting Mines are not going down quite yet. Like a man looking aggressive. What a pass down field as well. It's too big in the end. It's nice. Actually gets around 200-0 boosted, huge play. It's going to make it a corner as well. He finds the 50-12. Is anyone home? If it's a free shot, but it's blocked! And yes, though! It's Maki Moon! This is what he does best. He leads his team on the charge. Now, Oskie's gonna try and make it up. They go down on one, but TRK... Just hollers at the rest! Maki Moon shot and attacked with the same sound! It's now, Bob! And everybody gets trying to bump him off, but it's starting to feel like it's slipping away from the base with the pressure from twisted minds! Moschee's just full of reverse on that corner boost. He wants it this morning, he does get it. Will we see a late piece of her always? Could it be now? Could it be the drop down? CRK with the block, Archie. He wants one more, look at him. He wants one more, look at Twisted, the 150. Does he go to the front? He's off the corner to Moschee, to the backboard. Now fast to find the block. Archie does it. Keep the ball up. But they had an all mighty wall. Very clean attempt there in the final moments when it's such a twisted mile that they kick off. Now go off the ceiling and Oskar with a cutoff. Straight back down mid, TRK and Monkey Moon playing. There's a little bit close in here coming to the mid. Starting to make the swarm. Nice play. Ah, gee. No, he has a little bit of space to work with. Monkey Moon, who else first up, and he has been beaten this time. Oskar gets the pot, TRK dropped down. Monkey Moon cuts rotation once again. He loves playing close, loves sitting underneath the ball and getting huge challenges like this. Two TRK, who finds the block. This is very old to general mates. Oskie does well this time. Now, it's time to keep the ball in. Nice much of it on the run. He fights one. See, okay, just gotta be a little bit correct after the end of that occasion. Because Oskie wants to get in. He's just sitting there for that boost this ball. Yeah, there's been a couple moments where, you know, you can tell that they won it. It's just not working out in their favor, unfortunately. Now, it's trying to get down to Archie, but Archie recognizes that TRK really was just there first. They're getting outplayed at the moment, outpaced, And you can see it with the maids having to constantly race back. Right. Oskie, thanks to Nass, no follow-up, but Yabba had just a little bit of time. Aren't you trying to fool Zayn with nothing to come through? 36 boost, that's it. Funky mood. I've got Sira on the tank. I've got Axelot going after the race. And now, oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Absolute make-out! It may have been a little rough, but they're starting to gather their footing. They just caught the twisted minds, the events with Dorinaziko's support. He was smoking her all past once they got through. They were sitting ducks in that mass. Here was the difference. A massive difference maker for the team. 14 shots alone to the gentlemen and Nass making a pushing half, six under his name. There's a few things that can go down in game like that monkey man to throw his head back in frustration like that. You can see the frustration with Stasky when he, aren't you, missed that three double. You can see what a mentor I'm a He expects better from the major champ and have a look at that. So you look for the bump instead of the extra pop over the top And Markiemoot probably still feeling it from that 3D that he gave Oskie earlier on in that game where Just perhaps playing a little too quick for his own good or just perhaps thinking that Oskie was TRK but his teammate was underneath him And it was an open net for the gentlemen It's a valid, I have a possibility to the two, this is again like we said such a mentally challenging series on top of just the physical. And right now the Bates, you know you're coming up such a high from Boston, you knew what you were capable of and just can't quite get there yet, but maybe after that overtime win, they could find something here. find something here. Two over times and still plenty of mistakes from both sides. Pressure absolutely at its highest. We'll either see the other just handle it. That's what it's all about. Who's gonna be able to handle the heat? The fire in the kitchen of the Lada Volta Arena. Nass, he finds the 50. Twisted Vines. Good early set when their mosque is kicked off. They've got a much boost to work with the attack they can see. They're probably going to have to back off a touch. Now for the TRK, absolutely have zero. She's going to be a Mosque move third man. I don't know if just to keep the ball in here, they've set up pretty well. Second and third, pop off the roof. Mosque with space, don't find the clear and TRK can collect. It's been a really good moment of communication between twisted minds as well. Having that second med meet goes quick pipe. Look at the slow felled Mosque there, straight in the nose of Mosque, and now it's time for the gentleman to make the return. Muncherman is just so plenty for the cutting rotation. He has zero adverse, but he knows that there was a chance for a drop middle. That's a chance here for the gentleman as well. Finds that man, we've got Muncherman. Reset, leaves it, it's a TRK. Always committing births and second, it's high risk, but if they can beat two of the balls, so effective. So much trust amongst his twisted lights, Dan. Remember as well, we're all coming in English. in English, they're trying to deliver as much communication as possible in a second language for two of the boys. Still, you're seeing the synergy on display. Some of this between the twisted minds feels natural, just as this, asking down double commitment to keep it out and it's so respectable double commitment as that. What, what, what, what, what, what? What are we doing here? Demo comes through, the gentleman is capitalised, back pass will work to Archie, thank you for patience, much more than that time just a little craps and he's trying to preach up big trouble. Now, there you go! Drop the ball! Drop the ball! Drop the ball! Don't spot him left misses! Twisted mind's looking for that instant counter as well. Has T.R.Gar across. He has space. He's going to make it to the infield. Move up your mind! Get up your power on these two! Look at this. Now both those guys, not only does he make the shot, he recovers and waits. And it's T.R.K.'s big that cut in. That goes, what is this, 121 kilometers? You're not touching that. That little shimmy on the wall from TRK got Archie. He just hit the brakes on that back quarter in there. Many had a 3-in field after that. Twisted mines. Grabbed the lead. Can they get the go ahead game as well? 240. Maki Moon pops it around Archie. TRK up. 0-50. Nass. Great position from him. Bit of poise as well. I'm looking for Oski, though. Archie hasn't quite been able to find his mark, but Oski can be the highlight real player of his team. Can he find a moment of magic for the gentlemates? So far, that's just been no. Archie bucked off straight back to TRK. He switched it behind the team, just continuously being fed the ball. And a lot of the space detects some of the players, Gentlemen, you're playing a little slow with a free shot on that pass. Get staying in that very deep third, has bailed the mates out of do-sticker situations. I just haven't looked too comfortable though with defense. This isn't gentlemen standing here expecting the other hand or the pressure those goal line saves. Archie's known for it, but they've made a lot of mistakes like this with free shots! What's that going to do? Those are those free shots I kept talking about. It's Nass on his own, that first challenge from TRK, he's completely set on monkey-earning. Nass is looking around like, I need some help, but you're trying to play the Cheetah, and it's not working out, you need a different plan. But where's Nass going there? His third band, he's looking for a flick across the pitch, he had two men on the same side down the line. In that instance, you have to play it slow, you have to go for a low 50. He's trying to force the issue. They're getting punished. These uncharacteristic moments, the pressure's hitting again, aren't you? But the shot, it's not going to be good enough. It's now for Rich in the crossfield. TRK on there. Oskie throws it to the side. Lanky, the ball in. Journal makes not looking like the team we saw in Boston just yet. You've got to give a credit to some twisted lifestyle fans that came into this event, came into the play-up, should I say, as the number one attack. And through to get right here. Others stayed out, decided to clear from Archie over to Oskie. maybe they could find it here but no immediately rescinded final made him with a two-nil lead or twisted minds this is looking like most most of the ways that everybody was predicting it to go twisted minds completely holding their own and letting the mates outplay themselves the defense it's just looked incredibly shaky the decision-making not as a point as what We saw it in the previous Major and lucky man, he's just getting free double after free double. That occasion doesn't find his mark, but with 20 seconds left, Twisted Mines are absolutely all over the Major champs. They've got the home crowd stunned, the GOAT stepping up in a foreign region. The playing was for the restore of BDS, although seasons ago, it's going to be 2-1 for Twisted, it's going to be a clean sheet. This is the absolute best that we have seen more people play in quite some time taking that game through with MVP honors, number of TRK completely even in terms of communication, skills, synergy. energy. The gentlemates, they want some hope on it, but right now the priority needs to be to put in that backboard to use. I need to see one gentleman player up there. That would save about half of your issues right now. You are dead right here, but that's the pressure in there. Just continually isolating the third man on Gentlemates who's more than not just defaulting to going to there. We know that Archie is going to be in there and just waiting for an Oscar and that's on the back call for protection but it's not coming. They're beating that second bench way too easily. Yeah. As Monkiminen puts up his second MVP performance two wins from Twisted for both from a Monkiminen 649 point game and an 800 plus in the first time out versus Nasky. Just calm the nerves, I'd say, for gentlemates. Because we haven't seen them be this shaky. Yesterday it wasn't their greatest against KC. We saw for Tira getting animated that they look like they're still a little rattled from that performance. I thought it would be a new day, perhaps they'd be a new team and confident against twisted I still have a lot of gaps yeah this is just it's a really inconsistent version of yourselves and a historically granting you know benefit of the doubt right we see these a lot of these broccoli teams come off of a major win a world championship win even right and we all think it's this curse that as soon as you win something you're gonna you're gonna fail in the next one and gentlemen they've done everything to fight that one series at a time but like you said you would have hoped that they came into this with a new day maybe this time out gives them a second to breathe everybody here or the most part is here for them they're not against you if you can hear it coming through there's a lot of pressure that comes with that as well you want to perform for the entire arena for the country through all of Paris and for all the France right now, gentlemen, it's just a little rock. Utopia we go, game four we head. So once we're there, gentlemen, the spot gets nasty. Straighten the troops up. What can the admin get this game going? There's only, there's only one way to find out. Now he's up there doing his best. We'll see how quickly they can get set up as far as the gentlemen's are concerned. You take this as an opportunity to breathe a little deeper. Stasky, pretty good in spirits, I would argue. Sad Junior on the other end is just like, get us back in there so we can clean this up and get out. We're on our Sad Juniors. Just making sure TRK's computer's all good. That's his primary concern. TRK is so consistent. so many years The player that you can always rely on to play basically as quickly as possible whilst making as little mistakes as possible It's not always the incredible flashiness but his ability For his teammates to trust that he's gonna be there when they need him And yesterday when it was my community And now both of a double committee time to time again is here. Okay, just to steady the troops Just to be that point of difference that they can lean on. Looks like we're just making sure everything's all ready to go. Getting this game back underway here. But as you said, a little extended time out here for Snasky. Certainly we'll be welcomed by Gentleman's. Oh yeah, at this point you're saying, you know, you're a little glad it's kind of working on that way. Able to see. The funny thing is I don't think I've ever seen TRK smile this much. And I keep looking at his little girl, and I'm like, it is. If I was the Mates, I would be a little terrified. I mean, this question minds team is something that you put in a fantasy league draft of fun, and you hope it works out, and it is. I mean, when he was on Falcons, they were a confidence team. We knew when they were having fun with TRK, was having fun with the twins. They looked unstoppable. It's just when the nerves set in right now, and we've got monkey-win alongside you, a winner, a no-winner. the greatest of all time. Well, you have to have a lot of confidence on a chance Sunday off the rim, off the bounce. Maki noob, there he is. Flip, Archie, go line. Great save, gentlemen. That could have been a disaster, star. TRK just a little late to the save. Or to the shot ball, excuse me, but the mix with a powerful save, Oskie's gonna try and get it going. It is! But it's not in! No! We're asking for this man to win the absolute cellphone champ someday in the previous game. Coming off the extended timeout, he's woken up, he fights the first. Oskie is more than capable of being this crazy impact player for the team, but like you said, we needed him to wake up. How hopeful it having that opening shot changes things here, but look at the sand. The upper one is on Oskie, make the double set! The launch is there as well. This time the Gentleman's rotation is finding its mark. They are getting back in time. They're supporting, they're reinforcing, and they're stepping up here on the global stage, on the bigger stage. One minute gone, game four. Triple commit, twisted mind, starting to feel the nerves a little bit as well. Clear cut through, monkey move, speak through the middle, block this time. A gameplay gentleman, Oskie, so aggressive. Oskie, with a no connect, Oskie! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What a response of the time now Stasky give that man his flowers. He's unlocked Oskie absolutely unlocked him. He's woken up but he fell off on the biggest stage minute 30 twisted. What do you have for us? We know they've got gears, they've got cogs to turn, they've got improvements to make adjustments to go through. We saw it against Furiel, but this is going to be tough, the demo will help, Archie gets nothing, but the GOAT! They were never going to sold out of this. That first demo and the bomb if you bump Archie off, it's made it too simply for him to go in. The general mates might be out of, get a freebie, a free game win, not against that man, not against this team, two-one, again one back twisted, they're starting to just pin the general mates back, you can see the openness, you can see the speed as well from this man CRK. They arm load boost. I'm actually the only one with anything in the tank. 62 years today. NAS has the cover rotation done well. They found a reinforced corner. I threw, well, through the locks. That man, aren't you? My favorite thing is watching the wide cabin in the back end. It's just been this osky. Now we'll fight. We'll see. The fight continues on the front end of things. Tries to make the center part. It's clear opening. Now I'm going to catch it. has the boost, their backboard is covered in prep, but is it enough? I can be so confident all that speed with, it's enough you bet! And the guys are catching the weights! They've completely thrown the house! And they... It's just not good enough for Archie! I'm saying it's not good enough! He didn't drop early, he was worried about getting stuck in Snatsky. All we can do is watch on, and try to get his team on line. The good thing for the gentlemen for now is that it's a tight game, but it could change here a shot on target. The follow-up from Lucky Moon into two of the mates to be able to keep that ball out. Pass over to Oskie, the powerful shot on the net. Where's the ball from? It's right there! It's a one-two punch. Nass downfield to Oskie. Force is a triple commit from the twist of mind's knee fence. The Nass with speed, punishes, jittlemates on a double fake, Rokimu to the wall, both teams over at the safe, kickoff roll block, Rokimu downfield, Boski wants to catch, they've got two minutes to tie this series up. It's looking like they might be able to. This is the best the mates have shown us in this series. Nass very low, just going to wait for the ball to float down to him so he has enough to make that center. But no follow, Archie's playing on the side, he calls himself off, which I think is the best thing to do in this situation. You are still one up, you don't need to force it. The follow from Nass is coming through, but Nappo just set him out. Very awkward still, Monkey Moon does have boost. Can he get behind the ball? Nappo again, he was huge with low boost. Monkey Moon is in the middle, he wants to get involved, he finds the duck, he never fakes. He's always there, Oskine counter-attack, reset, over one, back together second, but he was mighty close. Even being able to take a shot like that with enough space for somebody like Oskine could do so much for his mental. That mid-boost is uncollected, now he's going to have to race back against Bunky Moon. Final minute of gameplay starts with the mate still in the lead. It's not a whole other point or chest of a wife, but there's no follower center instead. It's the meets to the other end It's a huge 50 seconds coming up twist of minds Can they find the equalizer gentle mates? We'll just be praying for a game when off the time out to get a footnot back in this series TRK collecting popping it over one Underneath low boost coming through monkey murder's got a weight on this touch Host you good enough to keep it to the side. It's got to be a nerve you find a 25 50 forward from Oskie, we're gonna see if the base can get one here, otherwise Twisted Minds get their golden goal. TRK, slow shot off the side wall and Nath denies it. Monkey but with a base, he's Twisted Minds are gonna drive it over the shot. It's up, it's 10 seconds of the final clock, but it's low resources with Twisted Minds. They're pushing, they're pushing for this 5 seconds, it's a huge thing, Monkey but it's now filled, Monkey but it's now filled, the side! The journal makes him tonic! The culture is what keeps them in the series! And Snasky was nearly on the floor! The state came through! But the pink suits arrived in time! Tutu! Oski getting his MVP moment a worthy one at that. You take a look back at some of these replays and you can just see how ready he was to push this team forward. Six shots from the big ox. He's got Monkey Moon shaking his head in frustration. And despite twisted minds being able to come back, it ends like you said, isn't that fake? Both of the gentlemen's commit on it, and finally it actually pees off. Sad Junior has seen enough after one game to pull the time out and try and wrangle back some momentum. You just see it trending. The other way, doesn't want to let Jeremy start. He just starts to get right on the left. He really brings his game to the fold. It was an MVP from Strowham. It was an arrival game on Champs-Ender here in Paris for Oscar. And now the ball's into this deminescour. Final timeout being called here. 50 seconds to figure it out. As you enter the second half of that series, You can feel that one by one, the Gentlemates starting to remember what it felt like to play in Boston against these top teams. But they are running out of time. We'll see what comes about this time out. But they can't still back each other up, they go into your home and tell you there's going to be a third man there in time. But the triple commits, they're the big problem. Let's see if that six goes up. Sad Junior time now, completed, game five. Move heads to match point. A huge one at this. Aside from the obvious problems, time might have been enough for them to be able to correct it here like you said. First person to that match point, holds a lot of power in their hands. If one shot down to your arcade, plays it high. That's ridiculous from Oskie. The brief flip backwards onto the back for him to get a second player to the side. Gentlemen, starting to get online, Oskie looking online, they're covering that infield pass, they know that Monkey Moon's gonna be there, they know that TRK is going to be playing as quickly as Volskov and Twisted, looking to pin this last man. Oh shit, what do you got, what a save! The patience you saw from Oskie as well, sitting in there, ready to go, nobody booked him up a bit, so he's threatening that one by one. This is ripping across that Machimoon. Looking for a pass, looking for a shot. The Gentlemates, now they get a chance to attack. We haven't seen the demo come through from the Gentlemates, which has been unusual for them. There's a QHG from TRK downfield. Will there be a shot? Because Oskie just gets back on Machimoon. You know it's going to be right there. System is safe. TRK, they're low boost. Twisted mines. The Flake as well. Oskie just gets a chance to reset. Galbo collected this one in the air perfectly and it plays the 50 down on the ground. The mates are swarming into the other end of the thing, but right now, catching this ball and keeping it to the blue side, building pressure, that's what the Minks want to do. Now, bone. Reset, two monkey move, pop up. Where's TRK, straight on the scene with the shot blocked just. That was top right all day. The move, popping, Nats collecting, Archie left, and he found the low 50. Oskie is the one with boost, the one man that they want on ball, and he's been dusted, now it's Nats, has to keep it close. He's supplied time, as well enough, still a bit jammed up this front post, Jellemates 250, twisted lines, has many great spots, Jellemates get out. Priority for the Jellemates is being able to prepare for a lot of these shots you're gonna come forward, pinch around the corner and TRK already freeze up and to be able to take another shot. Twisting mines, they have the plan of attack being one, two, three, back to back to back, then it's slowly being able to prepare for it, but the bigger issue is you still gotta find a way to score, you gotta get to the other end of the field, Archie finally does it once, but it's a set up on low boost. You know the game play of the Twisted Minds, it's just get a touch, and I've left the ball get behind them. Some of the European teams are happy to evolve that third man, release him, we go for a bump, not this Twisted Team, they're just going to hit the ball as quickly as possible, they're going to stay underneath it, just like right here through the midfield, another challenge. It's a war of attrition through the middle, it's a win, it's a chance to stay! And at the end of the day, every time you look up, it's monkey-moon through all of the gentlemen's. You can just, it's almost like you've got the aura to freak them out on his way there. There was just no communication there. Archie was not anywhere near that ball, but Oskie, he wasn't hustling back. He had boost, but he just kind of moved it off the backboard until he realized just how much trouble. The gentleman Steve Bench was in just how much trouble he was in. And this Monkeven aura is present. Archie Oskie, two players with a pretty poor record against Monkeven individually. It doesn't matter what team he's on, it's still Monkeven. NICE! The young guy! Reminding you that he is still out on the pitch. Soloway double up the backboard between Munkyvue and TRK to tie in on. It's a huge way for him now. If you can skip that second man or twist it, there will be a free shot, there will be a free backboard. DRK is sitting duck in net. It was the Boston MVP. Punishing, and there's an opportunity. It's all over for them. Yeah! Look at this catch-out mid. That bump, like we said, and you can take out the last defender, or even just the second man. It is a wide open shot. They recognized it. They executed it. and they take the lead into the final minute. Paul from Twisted, that was frustrated off after that Nascol. And they've just overcommitted. They said the house, they had three members, all three members in the front half. The answer is five! Oh! Oh! Now they're still trying to remind them that he's number one. The catch in the air, sent straight to the ground. RG already committed his bunker and his car falling. Already, nobody there to defend. Back to a tight game! Wowee, what a drop down past their post. What placement on the shot as well. Twisted lines. Still unfazed by the upgraded general mates on the first couple of games. Another corner. Maki Moon. Slower. Slowly cut the slow. Oh he's never slow. TRK down. Phil Breedereck on that. Aren't you going to leave this all buried open? Hang on a sec. Once he wants to get up involved and just clear that downfield to Oski, he's got a nice enough distance, but it's coming back. It's coming back with interest, marking the corner to himself. Scared the hell out of him! You're kidding! You can't do that! Or they'll make a change! He's dead on a reiterate! Unwanted! Boost! He knows how cool that was! We've got place for the day, goals for the day, goals for the tournament. That's one of the best assists you'll ever see on the big stage. Eight seconds, Twisted Mines, two match points, Twisted Mines, five set points. Archie, one last crack, face, drop down. Rocky Moon. He might have won multiple world championships, but this is nearly career best form. Ridiculous! On one! He used his tattoo on one! I want to see the replay so bad I want to know how much it was in the take to get him there because you knew he had to type it with his card floating! Just enough! Stop the other highlights production! I want to see that go- Just run that! Shoot that go for two minutes straight! The fact that Nelpo was bare as well, the fact that he recognized he just trusted Monkey Moon, to hit the skin middle. Look at this! Look at this! I picked the best defense in the world. And he quite likes his own work. We have said it so many times. But this truly is the best we have seen Monkey Moon play in quite some time. time you match him up with the greatest 1v1 player in the world and the greatest arguably third man on the planet. You put them together this team is superhuman. General mate do you have anything for that? Do you have any response for a team that looks simply incredible for a team that online it's led to in mania showed so much life so much potential a reason why falcons aren't even here they're looking even better on land these three players have thrived on land they're looking to thrive on a champ Sunday this is what monkeyman who plays at his best, and we've gotten it from him. Oskie double reset towards that, a floater off the backboard. Archie to catch and stop, but Mokiboot's still up enough to clear. Archie hasn't been able to get his game going at all. Oskie whips into the touch, does want to recover. Archie's got to go to the fade. He's going to give his closest possible. He's trying to find 50, he's trying to unlock. Nass, unlock Oskie. With the only man that's fully unlocked, is about in his 7th evolution and it's the lucky mood. He rips it across, oh here we go, off the corner. We know we like these, TRK. The fake rip by Gentlemates. The lucky mood just wants more. Keeps them pinned, Archie up now. Can he find the dunk? One more with the bump. TRK collecting pass, boost and is safe. Twisted Mind's already been trying to play for pressure right now, the mates just playing their game. And Twisted Mind's absolutely allowing it because they know their defense to their offense is just miles ahead right now. Nassim's gonna try and do it on his own, but Lizzie shut down. And even with Oskie trying to make some noise in the background of things, the Mates cannot set themselves up. Nassim with the Octane as well, not killing it. It's a clear sign. And he finds more light in the original car. Archie loses possession. Now Homagebin always stands for the infield pass. He's just screaming for the ball through the middle and he is ruffling himself out at 3-10 now, 0-0-0, still scoreless both sides. Journal mates, off that demo, get a bit of time. It's a little bit awkward here from the mage, but not too shabby right now. They've been able to hold twisted minds off longer than they had in the previous game. Nasser out one into the corner, Oscar trying to go for the setup, it's low boost but it's shot opportunity and now Vogue says no. Archie finds one reset, starts to get it, low 50. On the backport, it's Nass. As he gets the shot, look at the block coming through. There won't be one World Champion. He might be a major champion after this was all the way there by him. 230. Get him, mates. Archie, Archie moved leaves. TRK pops it up. Off the backport, as he gets the free double. As he gets the shot, Nass, very awkward. TRK, popping. Your huge demo might be right there for the Sassabana! Again! You can fight the first attack, you can demo the follow-up, but there's always going to be a third from Twisted Minds! If you ever do the second man, you think you have space. Not against the best offense in the world, not against Twisted Minds. Two minutes for knocking out the major champs in the top six. Two minutes from a daiquish chopper for rebellion in the semi-finals. And two minutes from another legacy game for a monkey moon. Here he is, on ball, Archie to the side. We want him right there in trouble. Ozoski looks to keep the ball in. Everytime, General Mates wants to attack. There's always one of them out of position, low boost. It's not easy for them, but the ground pitch, all the touch, could work out, shot on, miss hands! All the crossbar and immediately counterattacks. It's an ass play from the backdoor that keeps the mates just behind with one. 90 seconds, 90 seconds in that Paris run to go. If they can't find a goal here, gentlemen, with the biggest support in the L'Otta-Ponsorita, It could be a quiet start for the French, for the home crowd, or a mafia hot start for Maki Moon. And he's looking right at home in Paris. Archie mocks it up, gets down. Nass, he's looking for himself on the side wall. Does get it, but they're just trying to fall away. Just one minute. Archie's gonna take a shot here. It's another high one. Nass wants to go back to the center, but all of his demoed off the play. Oskie's trying now, it's his cut, it's cooking it, but the charge is forced to die! The ball is up, three times, it's done, the charge! Mark him in with the save, it's going to be a reminder of KC back in Lyon, they just can't find them there. Perhaps the Okokyo's cursed with the French, but not the North Americans, 30 seconds left. What does that god channel meant? Oskie, downfield, transit goes to the redirect, keeps it, resets, backbots, double, and he runs! What the hell is this? The Chateau Reigns! The kid that led them to victory at Boston! Gives them another life! Twenty-one seconds. Do we get another overtime? This series. Salute Cinema! Here in Paris. Archie. the fall-off monkey move TRK up who will be the difference do we get on the time it's over the last second magic could have been out both by Archie with both moves, monkey move, upstairs, monkey move to TRK, ball down put this beer golden ball for twisted minds but the channel is one and more now something the ceiling, he's got to catch the shot on the backboard, hands a big ock stewing. Doesn't get the touch he was looking for. Flo Booth, smoke him in, redirects Nass, pops it up, has the support of Marci. 20 seconds in the overtime, early chance of both teams on Nass. Samo, do it! Park him in with Sam, and he spins demo. Gentlemen, to Nass, does he find the bug? Does he get the breathe that he's looking for along with the demo? Gentlemen, still pressing, twisted minds, Still panicking! Now for low boost! TRK finds the clear! Both sides under immense pressure! 45 seconds into this OT and it's a shot from Maki-Mono on the low boost! The Mates are trying to make the clear, but you can feel and see twisted lines inching their way forward! Here come the Mates! They try to take one, but Maki-Mono doesn't know! TRK, they're trying to draw him out. There's the pop reset underneath his osteo with the clear. So much stress, so much duress on that third man from both sides. Archie pops it up, TRK to the ground. He's intercepted by Archie. Nass should have time, should get time to collect, has a reset, but Archie shot! Go on it, anyone? No! Just say that shot! Archie's lost! Could this be trouble? Could it be Tristan? What a shame for Nass! Gentlemen, you gotta hold on here on the back-end. Monkey Moon sees that GRP's there for the setup. But unfortunately for Twisted Mind, the mazer won me one thing. But GRP won me! That's what I'm talking about! That's what I'm talking about! Welcome to the semifinal! The state was ridiculous. But there's always another player on this Kristen Moritztein ready to punish. One behind the other. Three separate MVP performances from each of the players on twisted mind, the ending with elbow, it's starting with TRK. But at the end of the day, all runs lead to ultimum. We said that this country was a curse for the home teams and maybe that man on screen has found the ultimate hack. Switch regions, come back home and dominate your own. truly this is the best we have seen given the last time he was this dominant making the best teams in the world but this absent was when he was on BDS at the original Boston Major. Ridiculous, a ridiculous performance against the Major Chance, huge underdogs but absolutely rolling now. Taken down the biggest army we have here in the light of Fonsa Arena. The suits have just been absolutely shell-shacked against Crystal Mines. It takes an incredibly special high-level performance and zero-jettet performance at that to be able to take down a team like the gentlemen's and let's figure out how they do it. We've got Leif on the stage with Nubbler. An unbelievable performance but your winners of that match, Twisted Lines! Feels like it's getting a little bit better. I have to ask coming up to talk to you you said I don't believe what were your expectations into today and how difficult the match was. When I entered the stage, I was talking to the team and they didn't believe in the results. So I told them about their expectations and what they expected of this result or this result is the rest of the results of today's match. Honestly, it was hard to win in the bracket. I saw a grand final in the morning. I was very happy with the team. Thank God we were able to win and we are ready for the best situation. I would say it's one of the toughest opponents that we've had to face in this competition so far. And the fact is, we basically got an early grand finals with this match up here on the stage. Massive respect to them and we prepared our best and at the end of the day, we were able to beat them here in the arena, but inside finals. I was more complicated, and I was extremely happy to have won the match. In the last half, you were putting your hand on the table, but were you feeling the pressure? And how were you dealing with the beautiful and sad moments, or the angry atmosphere in Palestine? I don't know if it's natural, but it's normal. I'm interested in the game, I love it in the stadium. The stadium is great, I'm excited to play and come back today. He asked us several times to do that during the game, what was stressed, what was the pressure. He replied that it was something natural, he didn't control it, just to play in front of you. An incredible audience with so many reactions, especially all the actions. It makes him so happy, and that's what he experienced through you. So thank you very much, you were incredible. It's all about the game itself and that's it. Honestly, I love playing in the arena here in France And I want to say it's been a dream of mine to play in an arena here, a major in Paris. And I'm here to prove myself, to show you guys exactly what I'm made of, and hopefully we'll be able to win the major as well. He announced that he needed to play on stage and he realized that he was on the biggest event I've ever organized in Europe and on Rocket League. And he said that obviously he thinks that he doesn't think he has the competition, he is so happy to be able to play in France in front of the public, even if you don't like it, he wants to prove to you what he has done and what he is capable of. Back-to-back, major titles is over. The gentlemates gave it their all, but left something to be desired in this six-game series. The dream dies as where many dreams do die in Rock League on the Otoquio. Yeah, Rock League is a very difficult game to be the best at for an extended period of time. One of the few who can say that is probably Monkey Moon, and we see it here from the mates, how tall of a task that was. Twist of Mind's The Offense came out again. 2.33 goals for Yan in this series against the number one defense in the tournament of Mates, but the defense seemed disjointed at times. Yeah, I mean, defensively, I don't think either team was anywhere near their best. There were times I was screaming all on, how have you missed that? But, I mean, we say defense wins championships, but attack wins matches. Twisted minds fail to win the championship, we'll have to defend better than that, but they can go back and they can go, and try and work on that in the future. Yeah, I mean, for me, there was two points in this matchup when I think about it from the gentleman's perspective. Game one, two goals go in on pretty bad Oskis. And then I think it was game four, where they're up two, they score, they're in the lead. Yeah, they're up by two, and then drop that game. That one seemed like the turning point for me. I think it was game five when it scored two. They were down by one zero, one zero, they scored two and it was one oh four left. That's defense of the tournament. It can be the best defense of the tournament for one minute to take the three to advantage, and they concede two times in rightful time within that. I mean, it's great twist of mine's offense though. And on top of that too, like we talked about that this series went the distance a bit, went to the interview. I think a lot of that was masked at moments. He was clutch on the offensive side, getting them big overtime goals. Because otherwise, that's what this series is over a lot quicker. Monkey Moon felt like every touch was perfect. He was set up as teammate. Yeah. So well played, such good defense yet again while he was on my MVP list. Listen, and I've seen that Monkey Moon before, man. I saw him back in Sweden, hallway back when I was playing for that big NA EU match I saw this absolutely dominating RG and I've seen that monkey moon two times as well But over there in the Diggie's arena and when he's playing this great, it's just too hard to overcome Yeah, somewhere out of there is a cursed monkey ball that lifted one finger up with monkey moon wish that they're going back to Diggie's reasonable worlds But now he's still living on that dream of see how he is next season But I mean this version of monkey moon is the best that we have seen in such a lot I can't remember last time monkey moon players, but even throughout the season of Nina He's not been playing this well, but if I only don't last half of that last game Mates was getting a lot of offensive pressure. They finally capitalized late to bring it to overtime But the problem is when you're down the game anything can happen in one of these over times And unfortunately they fall because they were seemed like they were finally turning around a bit and getting a lot of this office of pressure We got a lot of play by there by Nassim and Oskie. He missed the shot and it's directly right back into him And that's awesome. Fates, if I'm shop of my rebellion preparing for this matchup I'm scared after watching that one. I mean obvious intimidating. I feel a little scared But the benefit though is that they didn't have to play that first match That was a highly contested match with fast-paced and he flares now even with a little bit of break though the Drill is it's out of your system. You're gonna be playing about an hour and a half And we saw that last time in Boston. It was G2 versus coffee that you do energy And then energy one that I was about the second long because over time a long time They'll call 50 minutes of gameplay and then they had nothing in the tank in the next series So he's on Twitter mines honestly to rebound. Yeah, I mean, I think that if I ever made a much and I am thinking We are going to get opportunities in attack things. They will know that that's the positive that Defensively they're gonna have to be on their toes because monkey no gets even something else there And I'm hoping he continues to be for the rest of the day And that's the thing with twist of minds They're supposed to have this off into pressure but that was a 50-50 game in terms of that where So it's reminds how to play a lot of defense and monkey moon just came up big every single time Yeah, for sure. Yeah, Jillmates, definitely, there was something left to be desired on defense, but that desire was created by the profound excellence of Monkey Moon Novo and TRK here. I'm curious what James of the Telestration Station found. Lots to talk about in this panel. James, what you're looking at? Well, you guys were talking about Monkey Moon. Now, I've got a play, a quoting CJ. One of the best assists you'll ever see on the main stage. I think you know what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah. Yes, sir. dive into this play here. TRK with the challenge. You see Nubo, lots of boost here in the corner. Monkey Moon is going to pick up this corner boost and then this is when things get serious. Powerful hit to the middle. Great setup fall from Nubo and then Monkey Moon. He's going to have so many options here. You see he's alone, airborne. And then here you've got options. A lot of times pros could go to the ceiling like we saw earlier with the Zen triple tech. You could go to the backboard. You could go for a controlled touch in the air but Monkey Moon does does something the defense doesn't expect. He goes for the corner double. You can see Nass is pointing to the backboard. Everyone's now in panic mode. They see Monkey Moon airborne, but he doesn't have much boost. What can he do here? You also have Oskie rotating back. He's out of boost now, but then you see what Monkey Moon's trying to do here. He sees a passing lane. Nubo is upfield, but look at this window that he's gotta hit. Nass is ready for the touch middle. Oskie is ready if the ball is slow. He also has a bump play on Nubo. Nubow is going to trust Monkey Moon to hit him on the numbers. It's a very small window that he can hit, but look at that. He does it perfectly, puts the ball past Nass. Oskie can't get the demo, can't get the bump. RG only went back, and Nubow, he is going to crush this ball home, beating that defense, but like CJ said, one of the best assists you'll ever see on the main stage. There's another great assist, but also in that play. Nass is assuming that Monkey Moon's not hitting that ball. Yeah. He didn't have to stone them, but he was not hitting them at all. For that replay analysis, but it really did feel that the mates just gave up a lot. Because Nass also had a full hundred moves before that play-in began. He's supposed to cover that midfield. He was nowhere there either, so mates a little confused on defense and monkey move in the back. They're a little bit confused themselves. They're also a little bit fuddle, a little bit mixed up by the twisted minds. I mean, that is in the name. We should have known they were going to mix their brains up there, folks. They now are three to the top four the Middle East looking for their second major title with a new roster TRK looking for his second one as well And the only team that twisted minds is lost to in this event is a team they're about to go up again shopping for a building Yeah, Bursary LJ beat him in game five LJ with a big bump and in first killer don't monkey move in game five Two goals from FK in the clutch on champion But we got three teams three different regions in the top four We will get one more European team there next you're guaranteed a European team in the grand finals as his tradition But I mean the twisted mines versus rebellion. Yeah, they lost to the rebellion back on day one day one first-killer Super killer. He's first killer is going to deal with his greatest challenge Championship Sunday can he take on as put on as strong as twisted mines and the monkey on his back I mean, it's so tough the first killer because no matter how fun he gets in these majors It always seems this one block isn't the grand finals for so long It was the semifinals we're seeing a really good version of 1st Collette rebellion at the moment They're gonna be a big threat to twisted minds So we'll see how it looks well folks We're gonna let them have a little bit of a break We'll have one more match to prepare for each other in the semi-finals We're gonna hop down the bottom side of the bracket when we come back It's by Tauley taken up Manchester City the Cinderella story continues after this Kieth, I want to try and experiment. Alright. To help you un-become your parents, I want you to try a game called Rocket League. Ooh, is it a puzzle like my crossword? No, picture soccer. OK. With a car. What do I hang my feet outside the window? No, not your car. But you said think of it. It's a video game. Oh, OK, I get it. Where's the cartridge? No, it's an online thing. Is there a joystick?

How about Keith underscore 9914? the bathroom coat? That's the only number I can kind of remember easily so. I and I don't know how to feel about it you're not used to losing getting beaten not like this these players are just so locked in could it be the milk Stay there. I said I'm looking like I can't go no more Red light, no I'm coming back home For longer, hold on to my own I'm a beating pressure, my name is Stone I'm a name in stone Yeah, I'm coming back home Yeah, I'm coming back home I'm a name in stone Cause I'm coming back home Honestly, I feel we're gonna win another major one Yeah man, especially if the home crowd is behind us Ah, it just feels good to be home, right? Just feels right. Back where I all began. I can't listen to this. You guys are not even French. Survival, don't listen. If you're so, so French, then what's the most famous landmark in Paris? I... I fell atto up. I fell atto up. I fell atto up. I fell atto up. Lucky guess. I bet you can't even name the colours of the French flag. Yeah, red and white. Just like England. And Poland. And Denmark. Oh, a double. Ah, that's a problem. Blue! I don't know what I'm saying yet, it's wasn't a prank, to water demand it, I don't want a cake, and I haven't mentioned the time to run. I know I'm not a man that can't believe the truth It's fair to me to lose it all I will stand the chance I'll be there I'll be back, take a walk I'll be saying one thing Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, the same mistake The same mistake I should have known what's in front of you, I was a man of fear, I'm trying to take your place I'm scared to lose it all I won't stand the chance And I don't wanna fake it I'll be fucking walking away I'll be standing in the rain We on the top, but we ain't gonna fall It's an obsession to have you call We here in automatic, never stop Only got one tag to do it all I'm from the bottom, I hate what I saw I couldn't watch all of how to crawl They want to throw when you're back to the wall So I say later my hate move is small Money grows from my intuition I just bought a crib, that's my first ambition People hate it when you claim your vision But I use a static when I hit ignition Younger rules are faster in a minute Stay fresh together, I'm in the mid-condition On your heat no matter where I'm in it Give me any place and it'll be a kitchen In addition we float it inside I'm on a wave and it never gonna stop I hit a dream and we run in the clock 24 seconds I step like a shot Permanent state in the floating block Double step swimming when I get too hot I'm an angiolife and it's all you got On the top but we ain't gonna fall It's an obsession, I have a U-car We hit it automatic, never stop Only got one step to do it all I'm from the bottom, I hate what I saw I couldn't walk so I learned how to crawl Then went and saw when you're back to the wall So I say later my aim move is small Homemade flow, I'm a PDC There ain't one player I don't do and just like me Heart rate throws, take the EKG Free team work when nobody's here, but I ain't feel the stress, I know it's meant to be 30 beats, I'm on a killin' spree, I made every song in my discography Yeah, that's every cent, every dollar, I ain't tryna listen to a broke scholar Make the moves to make the money, tell it to the cash, top it on a handful tower Lakers callin', I will wear that collar with my own drive, I can take it farther Do it myself, don't ever bother, be yourself made, now shout out to my father On the top, and we ain't gonna fall, it's an obsession, the heavy you call We hit an automatic, never stall, only got one stack to do it all I'm from the bottom, I hate what I saw I couldn't walk so I learned how to crawl Then when it's all in your back to the wall So I say later my hate move is small I The action continues in Paris. The twisted minds have advanced to top four and now there's only one spot left in the semifinals vitality. We'll take on Manchester City for the honor of playing the blue wall on their road to the title of Paris major champion. That's good to see that we didn't get a European on European team kill this time. It's Mina. get rid of them, but yes we do have Europe. Gonna presume normal service by living in each other in the next round. Now I have a new major champion as well, Baitzero, no back-to-back control. You're actually being kind of technical right there, because European was on the Twisted Minds teams, and what's gonna Europe as a European? There's a Frenchman in pretty much every squad. Yeah, pretty much. I mean, I mean, NA just gets eliminated early, so I don't know what he's doing. I was thinking of like, the French organizations are sort of, any organization that tries to like make sure that they all have players from their country. They're a little bit shackled by that. Like that that's an inaccuracy in their recruiting. It's just unfortunate for everyone else that the French are so good that it actually works in their favor in this circumstance. Everyone else is trying to hit those players as well. Folks, one quarter final done on the day. Manchester City versus Vitality coming up here in just a moment. The Twisted Mines in a rebellion. I mean, Shogun, I've gotten for a lot of people's takes on that last match. What do you feel like we've learned about Twisted Mines there as they made it to top four? I think we've learned that. Whatever happened yesterday against Your ear in those opening two games is gone. You know, that was maybe my slight worry coming into that day would be the nerby looking team I'm a slightly jet might seem like they were struggling a lot more. They looked dangerous. All right, folks Well, we have one more quarterfinal on the day. Let's get into it Introducing first on the blue side with major rookies Backwell and Espy, the 22 World MVP Cycle. Follow, follow, follow! Here comes Manchester City! And on the day that they missed out on one trophy, the heck of a good return to come back from an RLCS major championship. Manchester City taking to the field. This is the underdog story on Championship Sunday. It's absolutely as I feel like we thought five of these teams could possibly win it. Most of us think, oh man, City's not there yet, but they believe in themselves and that's all the matters here. Edgeby, again, this is his first RLCS land. If you don't count Copenhagen land, that was just the regional. So we'll see how he performs his first proud moments. Maybe weren't his best, but now they've gotten over that hump and that was so important to get past that Well, they have a bit of crowd energy here people are excited to watch this player playing he gets to feed off of that That's a major champion world champion say co work of the year back in 2022. Oh, yeah, the accolades Didn't they speak for themselves with him, but his team though They simply do not support of all that much going to get shot by a billion the last three games of the series Zeroes every single game in terms of the goal scoring somebody needs to put the ball in the back of the net if they are going to succeed And they're known for their team defense But if you play too much defense and you get a little nervous then those 50-50s could go the wrong way and into the back of your net They're gonna need a lot of goals if they want to take the win against their challenger Excuse me, 24 world champion, I got it, and 23 world champion, then this is Tee-bye, Talon! The year is 2023 and we're in Pusseldorf for the World Championship. The first time we saw those flags of the Golden Hornets and they were facing off against the Blue Wall and what is one of the most classic, most spectacular matches of Rockling that's ever happened. Vitality wins this match. We get to play that match again. Oh boy And they've looked fantastic throughout this little bracket. No one wants to play them No one wants to play this man considered the best It's exotic that let them out standing in the middle feeling the flames on the way through But I really think it's gonna be that third, Stizzy. It's been so drunk. And I think it's time to find his feet. And it's time to look for the stars. But oh my goodness, this guy is freestyling in the tournament. And that's why you pick them up, right? You want his feet, and they have molded him to be able to consistently hit that feet, Pete. Exactly. He's not even going to last year, a day more counter. And it's two similar players. I know they were going to watch Emerson back in 2004. They're playing a complete year together once again. It didn't happen. They had it, Stizzy. He's absolutely 1-4 gold per game. He is the high climbing mechanical officer 3 with Zen. And then exactly as something, he's not going to have done too much towards our tournament. So I simply do what's needed and ask of him. There's three all right here for Coach Eversax, man. They're danger-shoging. Makes easy just enjoying to be the only Spaniard that's actually got a chair this entire weekend. By the time you look at their tournament run, and you maybe think, oh, that they've had an easy run. Like it's been 4-0s, 4-1s. They play Dengen Pajamas. They play this as G. These teams haven't been playing that strongly here. But no, I think that they have been making these teams look like it's a mismatch, especially in that game against SSG. We really thought SSG would show up in a different style here. Manchester City. And then everyone says, is already a mismatch for Vitality. This is such an upplay battle for the boys in blue. Here's their head-to-head for two world champions. Goal. Adam Seiko versus Adam Seiko has had a tournament for itself. Man City after a lot of the office decided except for this boy. He's doing rather well there either Sanding goals for game the physical you said is a little bit higher, but very evenly match outside of school I mean you expect that the president he does everything that's necessary He is going to average by 500 points per game And no matter what man he plays have whether or not he's winning or losing by Tauly No, that's a whole entire team we talked about it all this thing great Yeah, ever since they got pushed to five when they're now old two in game five against foot Well in the winning that game for O and IP now or one SSG Sorry Sorry, I really want to talk about like this is a completeness. I feel like a vitality is the EU once Versus the EU five Steven Manson. Yes Manson. He came through that upper bracket But their group that they won went 0 and 3 in playoffs We called it the group of life for a reason it was a very easy group while vitality's group had K-Corp in it who's still in this tournament. That group has got two and one in the playoffs. So Vitality, they outmatched them. The last time they played was open forward. They foreoved them and it was a 12-4 score line as well. So Vitality are heavy favorites here, but anything can happen on a championship Sunday. But this is where Cinderella's story is a written show. Yeah, I mean, yes, it's a mismatch, but Man City is going to be the underdog. They're not going to be the favorite in any match they have today, including this one. No, certainly not. But I feel like if they guarantee you get a win in this one, the playstyle's going to change a lot of things. They imply an awful lot of offensive, you see, right there on those counter-picks. But the problem with the playstyle is being universal from the days of the low-chains to the days of today. When you play that style, you come up against somebody that's peeking at some kind of tournament, and that offensive peeking wins the tournament. I don't think they can do that here and get away with it. I'm curious here, if you're going to continue that thought in the moment here, folks, let us know. I think it's going to win the progressive fin, but we'll make our picks. Jogi, it sounds like you're picking Vitality. It sounds it, because it is it. I've got to go with the Golden Hornets. I think they're going to go for a very, very long run in this event. I would be shocked if anyone picks Man City here. That's how good Vitality has looked so far. And I'm also going for Vitality. I'm not going to do it here. That's the last stand up. They're pointing to the corner. No, no, no. That's the path that gives cause, guys. That's number two in goals. Number two in shots. 4 goals against, number 2 in shots against, and number 4 in save percentage. Best team betality, give me a levion, vitality, I got him, didn't match, forward, forward, we'll get out of here, it's a week. The best thing we can do, when it comes to predictions here with the Cinderbells or like this, is give them the cast or curse sweep them off here, I've obviously got vitality here, this is their match to lose, but man city, we'll see, does the coin complete the perfect sweep up here, Manchester City on one side, vitality on the other, into the the air and it comes up vitality everything going their way, it's bare match with Will, they take it by the reins and finish it off. It really just comes after Man City, you gotta come out early and you gotta come out strong, that's the only way, that's their only chance. How many games does Man City score more than one goal? One. Okay. How many still lose it? Oh, okay. Good night. Good night. No, that's not good. The question that really is for Man City, can you score one? And it came in for more than 1-2. 87% for Vitality Wave. He's the best player in the world. He has been for a while two world champs on one side. One world champ on the other. That's true. It's within Seiko, but then also two lane rookies making their debut. This could be the beginning of an incredible story for Edge being an acro. Either way, whether they win or lose, but still, you know they want to get the win and make a top four in Paris. Can they make it happen, folks? We're ready. It's Championship Sunday, and the road to the trophy is growing short. But what would a day like today be without a proper underdog story? The boys in blue continuing to defy the universe. First, the giants in gold, squarming, fierce to end the Cinderella run. Carming more, rumbles on the horizon. This is only the beginning of this day of war. But what a way to start this man singing. by Talonis, for the top four at the American. We didn't welcome them from the summer here! I'm camping at ship's stop date! Stayed by Talon! Take off and map city! Listen to his bottle tapes! You know they're ready, Gurney! Alright, I hope we are too! This is a big underdog story here for Manchester City, the low seed from Europe coming in up against Vitality. Who are only beaten in the Grand Finals against a stunning gentleman's team. And an incredible performance from NaF, but now they are out of the tournament. This is the road clear for Vitality to get back to the Grand Finals and win it. These teams have only faced each other twice and it was the very first regional in this split. But the first one in the group stage 3-2, and then they swept off in the playoffs. Exotic. What a tournament he's having. My fault receiving the most criticism on this team, but it's stepped up huge for Vitality in Paris. Yeah, I think that's because he's a selfless player. He's in those trenches fighting, generating those strong opportunities. Not afraid to leave that ball to a teammate through the dirty works and has paid off for Vitality but still second isn't good enough for vitality. They're a world championship winning organization. They expect to lift the trophy Well, they'd be able to do it first step is take down this Manchester City team That has looked good at times but is They have so much working against them, Jorvi It was a great start to the day and here it gave one, brought to you by progressive vitality. Moving down the field, and it's on it! There were a lot of champions, some let this presence be known, huge flood from Zen. Seiko couldn't get the backboard read. The group team punch in for the goal. This is what that was doing yesterday against Grey Station. He was bruising him, he was passing, he was saving. Even it said it was all over the pitch. They got a perfect play for exotic this time. And of course, it starts out with a wonderful play from Zed. Here's Espey. On the other side, James Espey, he surprised everybody with his group stage performance. Zed hang on, 50 underneath. Espey's going to need another big performance here. Yeah, he looked very good. Also, that's some choice words for North America. Shot by Rebellion, specifically Gopher. shot back with his response after their series yesterday. Who will get the last lap that's still yet to be found out? Stizzy didn't want Akko to play the ball. Vitality slowly loses control and half the boost is set with all of it as well. Akko happy to get to the space in the corner. He used the whole tank. And Zeddy tried to shorten up there on the passes. Seiko, aware of exotics, Zeddy taking away. Ako has to bump this one up. Dangerous, right? Big from Zed. Exotic, heavy touch initially, but got the 50 back to Zed. Oh, but Zed has so much boost to work with here. You can see Ezgy trying to challenge off the ceiling. He gets beat. The 50. Skunk goes round to the gym. You can see this pressure starting to build, Jordy. And that's Zedgy going for the bump as well. To connect on it. Zedgy for the fake on Ezgy. Zed. Probably gonna get the bouncy one. as we still under some pressure there. Fifthly goes out, well, Man City managed the ball well enough on defense, but my talent is still dictating pace of play. Here they go, it's dizzy. Got the touch over one. Got the touch, dizzy! It's dizzy! Crazy save from Seiko! French legend himself, when you think of great Rocket League rookies, two names that immediately come to mind are Zen and Seiko, who in their rookie years were able to win it all. Zen with arguably the greatest performance we've ever seen and the season and now, lower right, but it's still being looked at. It's called, it's just by Zen. Call his name, and he's gonna do it for you. Great leave there by Exotic, giving it to Zen Afro. You're looking at both players, you know Zen is coming, and you're just hoping he gives you something, saveable, absolutely visible off the backboard. Great job from Zen, setting it up again. Two assists, and two goals. Very strong start. Well, looking good on vitality. And Jeff just said, you know, can't buy the good stuff in here. If the pair is better than the money on the line, happy to get that goal. Oh, he got the tempo, so he did it. You know what, I'm going to get that goal. I did the work, I clicked the goal. We talked a lot about Zen, and how he's been doing it. Absolutely deserved, but stizzy. As you see, all around, see that for Gorka, but you're right, stizzy. You know, the desk described it as mechanical. Made a grand final with Dictators already making a grand final with Vitality in Boston. He has looked phenomenal. Oh my! Vitality are here to play Zen. We're gonna go as well. This is working exactly how it did against Space Station in Game 1. Vitality have written four straight goals before Space Station even had an answer. And by then the Game Bay has well been over and manned City, teammate was talking about it on the desk, scoring more than once. Apparently not even winning that game. And here they can't even get a single goal on the board. We don't even know if they have a shot. I think they may have one real threat that they get by telling me in the four minutes of this first game. Well, that's a gimme. I don't know if you can see. Smiles from Stinty on the player came. He was trying to get to it. Once he got that first touch, he knew it was over. Just help it out. He's like, you know what, I'll tell him that, I'm a first forward. I'm gonna give you one back, but... There's a fist bump to provide talent in there. Great assist, isn't it? You see his pick-ups right there. Feel off in the front, man. Akro, he's quite collected. Akro's the one player from Manchester City that you've been looking at. Wonder if he's gonna be able to elevate his performance to the level required to make deep runs in events like these, Jor-B. Yeah, Akro, definitely unable to get much going. 52% goal participation, which sounds pretty decent, but what you consider the high performers are in the 70s and above. I mean, we saw 90s as well, I think with lost. I don't know if the country even has something like that. But even when they're comfortable with goal scoring, he's scoring under half a goal a game. Statistically, not looking good. And you're going to need to look good to get past the vitality. He's got the crowd behind him as well. I will stand the matters the most. The scoreboard shows you the story. If you're just tuning in to Vitality yesterday, start it off with a bang. Vitality today. Start off with a bang. And take Game 1. See if anyone can find their stats though. Team Vitality dominating in Game 1. Arnold making it clear that this is not going to be easy for man city if they wanted a nervous vitality I'm sorry they are not here those guys locked in confident performing man city you know there is so much pressure on him you knew that game one was going to be difficult but was that as difficult did you expect it to be sense on the field yes it was going to be difficult to assist and he started with that beautiful flick I'm starting this game which we're actually We're not going to see on the replay there, Exotic had a freebie, thanks to a wonderful play from Zed. He got another assist later there on the reset, but also Exotic deserves some credit there. He got the handoff in the midair to Zed, and Vitality is just clicking as one organism right now. They're just on a different level with both of the teams that play so far in the playoff. One round of me, I got a trick. Oh, it's championship Sunday, and Vitality is making another team look like this. This is unbelievable in game one from Vitality. They have been so dominant. Seiko, such a huge reason for Mad City's group stage run, getting the top of their group. Yesterday against Shopify Rebellion, they were unable to get anything going. Seiko, able to change the pace of play and force players to come forward and try to win anything against him. His car usually wins more times than not, Sometimes they're not what something else has to give here for Manchester City. Vitality, keep the momentum going here, bringing the championship someday, and on it for Gritton-Temple. One thing that has worked in the past for Manchester City is Seiko. Being that player that controls the ball to help kickstart a counterattack, see if Seiko can find any of that time, be able to slow the pace down, the ball and generate a chance for his teammates, or maybe we'll see MVP, but macro for certain will need to elevate his game play. Off-space from Man City, Esprit, waiting on the wall. Good enough for Vitality to take. Sonic has macro chasing him, didn't have a ton of boost either, sent a voice to Oh, the heavy touch still gets back to it against Seiko. That force is actually going to go wide. Oh, nice pastel. Getting it over to Akro who's boosted up. But you can see Akro peeking at anything going immediately snuck down. Topped it a couple times. You get that first quality touch with the 50. Even something you'd be desirous to see some space since Seiko was ready for it. If Seiko does stop, if it's out intact with another pitch, it's dizzy. But it appears downfield over one head after calling him off. Getting with the 50, Akro gets spotted Don't ever get the strive for it. One boost grab by Seiko. Stizzy will hit it backwards. Seiko looking for an opportunity. Gets up 50. Akro chance to do some damage here. Akro the reset. Shut down once more. Zen accidentally hit it. Oh, no, this could be bad. Four vitality, but exotic steps up to make the same. Not a good move yet. The shot shot shot. Stizzy will secure the first goal for Man City. You've got no moves to not get to hit the pad. Stizzy gets punched in, Zedin coming forward, thinking he could maybe play that ball, but everybody low on boost, no boost, nothing you could do after that, and Man City finally get their first goal of the series. Marching forward, pushing that line further and further downfield able to get that goal. Nice shot from Seiko, but a team effort on the pressure. Vitality have cooled off significantly since game one. Sometimes it's just enough just to prove that you can score against this team. That's me. I'm top of the box, he loses his boost, but he gets the save and slows his play on the corner. Shaco is a lead and Zayn moves after all rounds. Stizzy, get high by Akron, he's got it! Top shelf bar! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Zayn shaking Akron! Oh! Stizzy tries to push that through, and Zayn dipping it off the bar here, and we can see the build up performance. Zayn goes out of the play, cuts back in to finish the job. He knew it was going to be awkward. He saw Seiko just dive for it. And even if he doesn't get it, he'll still have time for a scene to get back. Zenn, I believe that is his first goal. He had two assists in the last game and didn't take long for my talent to respond. He did get a goal last game, but he makes it look so easy. Zenn, are you right though, Jarby? the thing that did catch my eye last game was the assistance from Zen. Oh, he's got another touch. Oh, and surprise Zed. Oh, he'll go up there. Zed is dead into the play. He picked in his team, and Stiggy delivers the ball to his bumper. Well, man, Sidio, like a beach dwell in front of their own box. There's nothing they can do. The ball's just jumping all around them. And they can't find a touch. They can't find time. And you're seeing all these second effort plays from Zed. He's getting in there in the mix-up, but he's finding that one spot in all the chaos to come through and finish the job. And now crowd go! Get the dark wing to Stizzy! Oh! Stizzy with a rock into the face! And guess who it is, set them up again! It's Z! By telling you, he's doing such a good job of having that second man stay in the plate in the best spot possible. We've seen it multiple times with Zay. We see it there with Stizzy. The faith that they're going to be able to get a rebound that is going to be a perfect spot to score. And not only that, Stizzy slotting that top corner. Vitality had pulled off at the beginning of the stand, but they're starting to catch fire again. That was a really chill interplay, but everyone else said yesterday, get it, Stizzy. Oh, he's going for the deep pass to Sen. That was a challenge as before. They get kicked around. Agro, oh, this is the ball. Sen right behind Stizzy, Stizzy going for the ball. And Stizzy's been doing that all weekend, James. They're going to come again, Stizzy. The shape jumps. Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up. Double-wiggles and get around it. And Akro desperately diving to keep him alive. Desperation for Man City. They do get some boost. But Vitality does as well back on the attack. One minute left. Two gold deficit. More boats coming out from Vitality. They've got a chokehold on Man City. That's me racing. Trying to get something going here in the final minute. Akro, it's a great first touch. Around one. No, no! can't find it's busy just can't be me says he with a fifty-three heartbreaking for that city and say go but again for my town even they don't need any help say go look for the hero footsteps I guess in this case here in the engine noise does he jump like that shot was happening immediately but What exotic was a little slower than he thought he would be and he gets the goal by Talon. Eight goals in the first two games to Man City's one. Jorby, when we first put our headsets on to compete in this game, you said, I just hope it's going to be close. But I knew it probably wouldn't be with the way Seth's been looking and I mean, here we are. The first two games have not been close at all. It has been all by Talon. In the beginning of this game, Joe's a promise and maybe we'll see one. Okay, so not all of that possibility, but it's going to take two insane kickoffs for Man City to even tie this ball game. Great ball. Not that ball for Man City, and I love it. No court with 14 seconds left down three. Still looking for a high opportunity play, still looking for a way to just keep the confidence that you can do it. Kickoff, but it goes away and there's just not enough boost for Seiko to do anything with it. Not enough time for Man City to get it, he's going ground pitch attempted. Oh, Acro will try, but anything will jump people, the stats at this point, vitality locking in Game 2. Well, since that playoffs, in Region 1, Vitality 6-0 so far against this Man City team. The reminder that this is the man city team that won their group, Vitality's had this slot through the lower rounds. He's seen some incredible world record runs throughout the history of Rocket League. And what a story it would be for Zed, who was on top of the world, came out the hottest run that he has ever seen in Rocket League. Reaches the top so quickly in his career, seems like nothing could be in his way. Since then, since lifting the trophy in 2023, Zen has not been able to lift another RLZS trophy. And you know that he is itching to get back to the peak. Man City are going to call a timeout, try to take 60 extra seconds to figure out how to protect their corner boosters, how to have some resources. Outside of that take-all whiff, all of the Vitality's opportunities came from Man City sitting low or on zero. They had nothing to constantly trying to catch up to the ball. And it wasn't until Corbidge time where Edgeby gets a great midair bump to set a goal up. They need something like that against Vitality when the game was still competitive. Doing it like it's not going to go off. In the beginning of this game was competitive, Jorbey, but there was that brief stint. And then it was again, Vitality off to the races. So this is a dire situation for Manchester City. We knew it was going to be tough for him coming in as the fifth seed from Europe. Europe's strongest region in the world when it comes to Rocket League. But when it comes to being a low seed from Europe, you can't count them out on that basis alone. We saw Seiko win in Copenhagen under the same circumstances with Gentleman's. However, just looking at performances about teams, it's hard to imagine a world where Man City can match this pace that we're seeing out of vitality, especially how powerful they are We saw Zen multiple times staying in the place dizzy being perfectly a second man exotic And it is been a breeze so far for vitality, I mean even James you and I were cast ex-dizzy In the grand finally didn't end up winning that winning that series on dignitas But he feels like he's about even since yeah, that's performance. It just feels like a totally different player on this team Yes, and I think for him, he's just dying to lift that trophy. Just once, just to see what it's like to be a major champion, to feel like you are the best in the world in that one moment. So it's a feeling that Exotic and Zen have both felt before, being the best in the world, lifting that trophy. Now we see a double fake kickoff. That's dizzy. Perhaps he can help Exotic and Zen return to those fights. Here's that pass. Works out a little bit more to Rascal. They might have had a chance there. Let's see, Man City, what a pass. Little pitch off the side wall, Seiko. Understandably, they're trying to catch up to that one. Let's see what Man City can do though. Like you said, they're opening minutes of the last game. It was tight. They even scored first. Here's Seiko with a little bit of a bump, and Sadd gets the ball quickly and protects the score moves. Nice 50s from Akra though. An opportunity perhaps as we will go for a 50 instead and now Zen With some boots will keep the ball in the ground right to poke into the side wall But it's intercepted by Seiko. He gets up the ball though and now Stizzy Went for the pump now actually avoided him How much of a play just yet? Seiko sitting off second man for Red City playing deep on almost every touch here Making sure that they have resources to attack the ball and keep it going to get a demo Stizzy getting the shape. He avoids him Zaco trips it away and Akro gets the midfield truce. Man City, what a good job right now. With the belt, and the goal! Big demo by Akro! Coming off that timeout, have a play at Akro, going for the demo on Zen. Open that foot edge beat. That seems like the best way to deal with Zen on the other side of the field and Akro. Guy we came in saying this performance Had been up to stuff if you want to get to the top board and he comes up with a huge assist Just starting it for Man City Seiko coming around the corner Quick here from Edgeby Seiko making sure he gets the boost and a battle back in their own corner For that boost you have to say go again one touch you get the second one But he gets booked off the play like how do you get a clear of a man city looking different here at the start of game Of course they certainly are, finally spending some time on attack. Felt like it was all vitality with the possession. Harked in the blue half. Now we'll see Exotic. Oh, Rear-Ramp! Oh! Sanko! Sanko coming up huge! They don't have a vitality response quickly this time. HB! Didn't have the moves to read Exotic. Zen. Actually gets his moves. Sanko has to turn around. I throw Birdman there. He committed. Sanko committed. Hang on, boy, Zen! And Seiko still makes the save! Seiko has been so tough to beat, I still don't know how he managed to make that save. That's what you want to look at in the replays. Man, double-committed too? Unbelievable defense from Seiko to preserve this one goal lead. Man City doesn't score very much. What? One would be enough if they can hold on. Just avoiding the bump, and he jumps away, pink, and a shot! Goal! Exotic, hunting down, looking for a bump, slows down XB, but the Man City defense in shambles. So all four out of position, Zen is an easy shot for someone like him. XB, he saw Exotic, and he thought Exotic was going to play the ball, and he was just going for the bump. Ezreal back, and they'll lock that back side of the game wide open. Where Vitality wills, they find a way. Exotic, back to Zed. He's got a reset. Can't get it though, Ezreal back to clear. Akro leaving the play. Oh, Exotic, push forward and leave this ball for Zed, letting Zed go for a solo play. It does get shut down. Exotic standing that corner, this could be a good setup for Vitality. Seiko has to wait. Doesn't want Stizzy to get anything to favor the guy who steals. Top of the box and they're all low again. Everybody on Tiro for Man City. Finally they get a corner boost. Akra wants small pass. Ezreal wants small pass. Stizzy bumped out of the play. Akra no boost. He's gonna have to fake it. There was no other option. Now Seiko with a low 50. One pop again. And even when they start winning those boosts, they're not winning the 50s. Stizzy popped shot and a clear. Man City, excellent defensive posture. And this is down from behind, opening up some space for his end to work with. Tipped back to Stizzy, Stizzy in the air, reset. 50 down to the core, Akro will fake it, bring it back down to the ground, and leaves it for Seiko with full boost, and they get a demo at the midfield, now moving up on offense. Doing much better when it comes to mid on triple commit. It's gonna say Akro doing a lot better than Paul himself off. Instead of trying to force these plays on zero boost, That's what was happening in that last game of vitality and up the physicality. Back to outside wall double. Zen knew it wasn't on target and now he'll go full clear down the field. Seiko met him. Zen still finds a way to get an extra touch. There's now a demo. Sizi with a whole 50. It's not a good quest. It's not tonight by Seiko. Zen did not make it clear. But desperation for Man City on defense. Back to back zero, Bruce Sane. Sane's such a high pressure situation in Man City. Hold on defensively. to give themselves a shot to win this game three. What if it's taken some heroi defense? Oh, they went for the pass. Stizzy wanted to go, but he saw Esby. How to stay back. Make sure he gets his corner boost. Zek protects Stizzy, gets the 50. Stizzy off point, right behind him exotic. Asko 50 up to the ceiling. Esby right behind on the backboard. Zeku will be in net, right behind his support. Esby lets him happen. Zeku aboard, get a pump at the end. Keeps it up, it's a pop up. It will not play ball over time must win game here for man city. They burn the time out Well that would bounce off the side wall, but here comes it reset Beautiful first touch from Stizzy goes for a 50 attached exotic 30 boost Went for a backboard hit, but was well defended notes. He may tell the backboard either Big 50 from entry, you can see the bullshot attempt, and Akro does steal that corner. Love the idea. Doesn't work this time at entry. Big rock solid on the defensive end, protecting the ball, but it's getting harassed from behind, and it's gone! Locked in, this is my mentality! Look downfield, and he can take it for a run by Stessie! And he's gonna charge it for that one with another game win! Vitality coming through, big time, overtime play. You can see Seiko was trying to control it on the dribble, didn't have the boost to get back to the ball after touching it backwards, and he was relying on Edgeby being in a position where he could support. Seiko was trying to find as much time as he could, but with Edgeby back there being harassed, as soon as that ball got away from Seiko, you saw that it was over. Vitality's physicality is just too much for Man City to handle and this was the best game so far in this city. They made some incredible saves to save from Seiko. The Apro also had a great save as well. Man City hanging on. But they just cannot find an answer to repeatedly defeat this Vitality difference in a single game. Just a couple of two on ones, we see them get picked up earlier. But Edgeby going towards the post because he thought Xotic was playing the ball. He was a fake the whole time. Now he's getting buffed. Zed gets a free goal. And Edgeby, poor Edgeby, he's getting picked up. He's dizzy. Plows him out of the way. Throw another free go for my tag. It was a question of both sides. You could have come up with what you saw here, the devil from Edgeby on Zed thinking that maybe this would be a big adjustment. maybe they start connecting with these devils more. But it wasn't the answer. It was close. It got him very close, but it just wasn't enough. And now, Team Vitality have so many opportunities to move past this man city. It is such an uphill battle. Oh, time for the 15th. No time for Vitality. Bad City trying to score first again. They have scored first in the last two games. Holding the lead has been an issue. They don't score this time. He's called the sweep. He predicted it. Jaff heavily in favor of team vitality. Just looking at the seed disparity as well. It looks like all signs pointed to a dominating team vitality performance. It's so far that has been the case. Even when Matt City ever squandered, it's a quick annotations from vitality. That's me. Up here against Stizzy. Stizzy don't get the catch. What kind of pressure can Admiral put on? Stizzy forced to make the touch, tries to recover. And Zed gets there quickly. Don't lose ball, Zed go. I should go aggressively. Zed, he gets kicked out of the way for it. Zed, happy to just hold the ball here. Almost was a bird fit. Even if Stizzy finally gets control. And sitting there, still showing the fight. HB, reset, trying to get back to it, couldn't get there in time. Zed on the dribble, Seiko contesting in the midfield with quick shot. Into the corner by Akro, gives HB control, but a low 50 for exotic. Now a big challenge. Akro will get it past him. Isolation play, Akro. Back down, round. Seiko tried to control it around. So close, but you saw Vitality able to get as close. Oh, and Astro went for that corner boost as well as Lee Sake won't by himself. He gets the save. Man City get the hold on. That was real risky from Acrow. He gets the 50. He gets Man City back in the arch-hound entropy, with the sidewall. Nothing. Used the hardest boost there, too. Not the best 50 from Sake-O either. This is looking grim for Man City. The reset from Stizzy Stizzy. 50! Out to the corner, nicely played by Acrow. Tried to get it out, but sent right back in. Well said, well knocked off Jason, if that one doesn't get the bump this time. And he does get a tumble on the back side of the rotation from Man City, Stizzy. Nice catch, Espy! Yes, Espy! Man City has no answers! It is a team effort for Vitality, and they are just better! Stizzy has been all over Espy on the back line! He's having some work around him. What's Disney pulling him into his gravitational force? And vitality, a whole block hole. Man City getting sucked in. This is where you're really tested for Man City. The vitality, perhaps we'll get another surge. This is their home court advantage. It's in. It's brilliant. The end of the play. As he can, the shot saved the rebound. Will be denied. Another quality opportunity for Vitality. However, Man City not out of it just yet. Not at all. Have to find a way to dictate this ball. In the orange half. They're not making consistent contact. It's on it. Coming across. As we touch, gets away from it. Acqua. Has to lead it for Senko. 50 and no one's around because no one has boost everyone's running around on small pads looking for canisters It's be done with a prayer Hope it's a go to get it to them and say go delivers Zany at the time for that Desperation save at speed how did wind up all day great timing And how fitting would it be for Man City to have to come back from a deficit like this? You knew going into this tournament, it felt like you would take a miracle for Man City to win it all. But miracles do happen. And if they could pull this off, perhaps they could win it all. But it is such a long journey. The mentality has been lights out, Man City have had no answers up to this point. The most important step that Man City can take on the next one, and the next one's all they have. Esprit, back over to Akraal, and say go with a clear. Exotic with a great catch. Exotic! Exotic bashing the trains of Man City, just when there's a glimmer of hope! That's just disgusting work from Exotic! Now, if there's any haters left, none are alive. Left to say a bad word about him. Two to one for Vitality. And if there are, they're keeping quiet. Seiko, now again, Manson. He got a fight back. That tie didn't last very long. Boosty, in the midfield, dizzy with the ball. On the face here. He got the boost as well. Lovely touch to control. Let's say go with giving him no space and taking too much time and now man city half the ball upfields dizzy looking upfield point shot from exotic not collected again for man city. Good vision from Acreau, head of vision there from Zen, time taken down. For man city's journey in Paris and speed. He's in the wrong corner, they gotta get down three of them. Sinko trying to play patiently. It's hot, just happy to take the ball away. Happy to take all the time off the clock. Akra with a high touch, it's dizzying the way. Espy can't do anything about it. Akra can't do anything about it. Sinko can he do anything about it? Time is up, ball in the air. Akra will try on it, put my top on it. And Zeph with a reset, man's sitting, fighting. But Stizzy keeping it up, on the way to life. Zep's got the boost though, nobody's got the boost. Zep's going low on the side wall. It's no one around. Zep's in the air. T-Fight County's sweet Manchester City. And they made it look easy. If you're just turning in, or if you blink at the start, it's over. Well, Jarvie, before we put on our headsets, you said, I hope this is close. How do you feel now? Honestly, when you see a team like Montalty playing the way that they are, you can't be upset with the match. As a neutral observer, you want to see competitive games, but at the same time, there is something to say about a team that is firing on all cylinders, that delivers with all the expectations are on them. This arena is packed. The pressure is on and in Lyon, the Frenchman failed to deliver the performance that everyone had expected. So yes, on paper, this was supposed to be easy, but it's another thing to take something on paper and to play it out. But Vitaly came in with all the pressure, all the expectations and gave the fans exactly what they were hoping for. Yesterday against Great Station, it was the best show. The crowd loves them. One of the best challenge we've ever seen at Rocket League, but today against Fan City, seven that game won, definitely at the fourth one. From then on, dizzy and exotic. I mean, one of the ones that dice it up, Man City. And you saw it from the very beginning, the game, that gameplay. And as well, the exotic shot that I hope we get to see on the replay. Exotic stepping up in such a big moment when Manchester City was fighting to get a footy. It was an excellent effort from Seiko to lead to that time goal. Edgeby, the fate to Smith, but this play from Seiko, from Exotic, that extra little touch, catching the defender off guard. It was a beautiful goal. Vitality, have a storm wall headed to the top four to lead for the interview. Paris, I need some noise for Exotic and Vitality. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee son, congratulations on the win, it looks like you guys handled it pretty well out there Man City, did you expect that to go as quickly as possible? It looks like you have a good relationship with the players on the other side of the field as well So you want to win rather easily? Did you expect this win to be that easy? And it's true that you hear well, know well, and also the players in your team? Yes, we know that if we win another game, we will easily win this kind of series. We have reached the beginning and it happened as we had expected. Yes, Seiko is French, so we obviously fell in love with him. He is a big player and they are pretty nice, so it was a good match. It was a good match. We know Seiko of course and we know the two of those players. But we knew when we came into this series, if we play our games, we're going to go for a quick win. So we just apply this at the first games and join. Yeah, I mean, again, you look confident right now. Your posture is really chill. You're used to being up here. Is there any worry, I guess, going forward in your mind where there's some challenges maybe coming into this weekend that you've had to overcome? Or did it seem like clear sailing for you from the beginning? Well, it looks like you're a bit more confident. You have a position that shows that you want to. You only have two matches left. Do you prioritize the challenges that come in the following matches? or do you stay strong like you are now? No, we always try to be strong, chill. We know that the next match will be a little harder. The next one we'll see if we have two, but the next one will be harder, your Karmine Koff. And we'll give everything and if it goes so well, we'll do it well. Every time we arrive, we just have to be chill. We have to be certain we can win. But we know it's really tough and each step is tougher. So win over Karmine Koff, it will be hard, but we're going to give our best. And if you lose, it's okay. If we win, let's go for the win. Well, I want to ask about that because we have one of the matches of the century coming up next. Unfortunately, the record against K-Corp with you guys isn't the best going into the season. You defeat them so far. It has happened. Is that at the back of your mind? Are you worried about the noise that the K-Corp fans are going to be making? We're going to get to the main event. You're going to see Karmine against Vitality. How do you feel about this? It's a match that you haven't necessarily won either. There's a lot of people who will be there for both of them. There will be a lot of noise. How do you prepare mentally? What are you waiting for for this match? We're going to prepare it a bit like all the other matches. Because it's Carmine who's going to do something different. So just when we arrive, it's Dwayne and Odejeu. Yes, it's going to be the arena. It's going to be on fire because there are two of the biggest French players in Europe who play. And there's the whole stadium that's going to be on fire. So just make some noise. It's going to be a crazy match. The biggest organization in Europe and in France, of course, there is a lot of fun everywhere. But we don't take this match particularly as a no-zero. We know it's coming, we play it a lot. But we're just going to play our game and try our best. I hope with the best is to end now as you continue on in the bracket. Make some noise again! For Vitality! Djuby Boyk, so it's your ticket, Victor! The Cinderella run from Manchester City ends here. A top six finish. They should be proud. But the best in the world continue on and they've got a date with the war. That's a great performance from them obviously playing in front of the crowd for the first time is going to be incredibly difficult and They're playing against the best teams in the world, right? Yeah, but that's a great learning experience going into the world champion Yeah, I mean this was them really playing with just everything's a game nothing really to lose on the other side They're vitality ever since that last since KC they have been smashing every single opponent put in front of them They've got two more if they get that way to still get third Definitely well. Yeah, really well three goals for a game for vitality and caught on a desk or a sweep man. Listen Man city this for more than one going one game and just one game. All right Just one game and just I'm not that they scored at least but they did also score at least one goal They never came to now a game when I was kind of there I thought I kind of let them score but also find is my child is playing really great. So here I touched on it after After they all had that Laska's KC, went to game five against Blicke, they dominated her by a sense. And that's the big three goals for a game against Van City who loves to play, it's on the defense, it's fantastic. It just comes down to like, just every touch is going to be just slightly better by Vitality over Man City, and it shows throughout a match, it shows throughout the pressure that Vitality gets. It was just so good from the entire way for him. Sissi, he is not taking the thought of the gas at all. ever since earlier on in this tournament, he is really one of the standout performers in this event. Exactly, he's been balling with him. I won't say that as the most casual. You see that Zinni is regular, just damp, damp, real fast. He did that after every single bow day for it. And he looks so calm. He looked like this. It's just a good match. I'm supposed to win. This couldn't email me, felt like he was doing it. And I got this, not losing his team. He's usually saying, get something screaming. It's just like, there's no energy from this thing. I was like, okay, I'm gonna win this match up. Let's get through this quickly, so now we can have energy for the big match coming up next. And this feels like the vitality we saw throughout the online opens, where they won two of the regionals, where they just dominated. They were playing at another level. Their one blemish was K-Corp's earlier refute stage, which made them play basically four extra matches to get right back to this moment. Manchester City, this is now all about taking the experience here, and not Cecily. Great, you got a top six. However, the World Championship is not too far away. That's going to be that next target. Yes, and you can't be too confident either. Yes, it's top six, but their group also went 0-4 in playoffs. They did get a little bit of an easy road. It is going to be more difficult for them when we get to the World Championship. Oh, they're confident after that. Listen, if you're in a rude awakening man city, you all have to play better than that. The defense you can take away is good. It's on a world-class level, but there's no chance you're going to be able to compete world champions, you know, we're in the land moving forward, not without being on the sport of our offense, but out posing a friend to these great teams. So there's gonna be too many times you go, get by time, you play Carmine, you play NRG when they're on. I remember, and I put the mind, I thought things will be back, but those type of teams that they will, and they will beat you almost every single time, it's gonna take an utter collapse like NRG had, it'll be a success. I mean, it's just ridiculous, isn't it? We just saw Twisted Mind earlier on today, I was like, oh my goodness, this team's peaking, who can possibly beat them? And then you see Vitality play I like that you say oh my god who can possibly beat them, and we've still got two teams that haven't been beaten yet Exactly, and those are two teams that have beaten them exactly But the beauty is also that world championships three and a half months away That's a long time to boot camp and get your actual problem So you could be a brand new team by then so let's see what man city could I mean it does feel like there might be even like a Wonder about like the skill cap of each individual player the thing that seems so incredible about 10 is the fact that his skill cap This seems so ungodly high and we do get k karmic or versus vitality in the top four now Leaves was saying you know karmic or has had a good record against vitality this season But vatira versus Zen in top four at land to my memory They played in Boston or vitality one and then they played in Zizl Dwarf. Yeah or vitality one Maybe there's been another one, but also that's the only time or the last time vitality has won anything Yeah, that was a vitality. So it went off the map, maybe that way back then. And since then, Vitira has been a lot better, obviously. So it's entirely possible. Vitira can have a lot of wins. He's been waiting in those semifinals. He's looking around. Is that where are you? Yeah, it's not like you don't bounce top eight or something. Yeah, so it's going to be great. Both teams playing like in their peak form is going to be a fantastic watch. Three best French players of the open era are all, of course, sitting all in the semifinals, looking on one side. Vitira is in on the other side. France, man, Paris, you gotta be just super excited about what type of talent this country has just really generated for Rockington. I don't forget about Juicy Nato either. I have some really good French players in this game. I'm very, very excited to see them compete here. Adel Doger. Thanks, French. Frank Afone, thank you, thank you. You can take it. You got swayed by the video earlier. No, that makes sense, it makes sense. Listen, I'll play you. I always think you're French, too. They may have mixed up his flag. He's an honor to me at this point. We've got three more matches on the day and something special between the next match and the match following, but Twisted Mind versus Shopify, Rebellion, the Americans taking to the stage finally here. Oh, this is going to be fun, because Novosibir is giving me number one, but first killer can take those rights away by winning here in Paris. And first killer is playing fantastic. So that is going to be another great match and another rematch from the group stage. Will the history repeat itself or do Twisted Minds write a new chapter, folks. We're gonna take a quick break. When we come back, the semifinals are upon us. Only four teams remain in pairs. Shopify, take out Twisted Minds after this. Whoa, it looks like you're backing up a bit here. Okay, Luann? Is there a Luann in the house? Remember, you don't work here. Young homeowners love to get involved with everything. Luann going once. Progressive can't protect you from becoming your parents. Luann? But we can't protect your home and auto when you bubble with us. Sorry. Luann! Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road, and far beyond. Every match starts before the countdown, and some rules aren't optional. This one's enforced. Risk a ticket. Risk not making it to the game. Click it or ticket. Every ride. There we go. She's off. She's coming. They're going to have a great time. Come on, Joe. Yeah. Off the post. Good cannon. Oh, that's high. Oh, come on. Yes. Yeah! That's the 10 out of 10. I'm holding up my 10. She doesn't even smash that. That's going too low. Good ones as well. I think we know. We give you the win. So you go in the middle, and then I think second goes to the left. Is that right? Maybe. I'll take that. Hey, blow it in! No. OK, guys. Ready for the next one? Oh, blimey, there's more. Welcome to the wet track. The second exercise, it's to start drifting and maintain it in one lap or more if you can do it. I'm doing three in the mean. The fourth came three across the wall. It's just a circle, that's not the most basic thing. It's a circle. Yeah, and guys, listen, I drift all the time. You mean in marketing, right? Yeah, in marketing. Yeah, I got this. Easy. That scared me quite a lot I Didn't get it into the graph Hey, guys, it's only GK with that consistent. I just look this finger tough Let's just make a whole way through about this. Thank you That's your quite sunny question. I'm back. I'll be back. Yes He's a bit of a scientist, I think he is. Nice! All right? Yeah, that's very good. Thank you. Woo-hoo! He had it! See? Wasn't that hard? He got one. Yes! So I'm going on! A wiggly boy. That's like 10, 20 metres. Yeah, it was a great, better than me. Your turn. Go on. LAUGHTER Come on, Coco. He's only out of a wing. You had like five meters in that of actual sideways man. She's getting ready. I read it. Yes. Up. Up. Up. Quick, quick, quick. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, God, this is like such a flash. That's awesome. I read it. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. How did she flash there? Yeah, yeah, yes! Ah! I'm going! I'm so lonely! I'm excited! Really? Okay. Up on the beach? Yeah. That is our champion! That's the first place! I'm shattered. Now, Grinnead. Thank you. Grinnead? Yeah. You win. I'll take that. Well done, guys. It's been a... ...funny thing. Do you think that we should now give up our day jobs to dry? You did pretty well, but no. Keep them. To be fair, you guys have some really impressive skills. It's important for us because if we don't test it by over the limits, we don't test it. I think the exact same thing for now. Thank you guys. It was really fun. Thank you for the terrific day. You're welcome. Come back anytime. Before we go, any chance to check your hotline? I was all alone And so I was about to break up And I was searching for the car Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here? The action continues in Paris as we have narrowed our teams down to four on the road to the grand finals. One North American, one Middle Eastern and two European teams still in the hunt for the Paris Trophy here. Welcome back to the arena. We are excited about it and the teams are getting ready to go here. Gibbs is going to be a contest. Oh, it's going to be fun here. We got some of the best teams in the world now and they're popping off at the right time. We knew two teams have that little bracket. We're just looking so fantastic. Twist of minds of mentality. They're both in the bracket still and obviously cake work and rebellion. Doing so incredibly well through the uppers. Oh, it's gonna be black. It's great to be here. Rebellion talk four as well. The lost hope for the American Tavets. Would you believe they're coming into champ Sunday? I mean, I could believe it. And honestly, remember in the open six, I think they were going to beat NRG because they were looking that good. But NRG did come out on top. And he caused them all a rebellion. But they're here now. NRG isn't another and NRG plays usually what they're in last North American around and hope can you get the job? I want to ask CJ how do you feel about shot fire a billion being at his last home? It doesn't really make sense doesn't feel right but we're here and it's just been a funny event. Gentlemates would expect at least they make a semi-final appearance. They're out in top six monkey moon twisted mines they looked rough against Fury yesterday they look fantastic today I don't know who to predict this prediction contest Joby made the whole thing, and he's lost. So that's how you know it's been a rough tournament for everybody involved. Yeah, for sure. For sure. But I mean, this is a rematch from day number one. Twisted Minds took on Shopify rebellion back at the beginning of the group stage. And Shopify rebellion found the win. You think that they're going to be able to bring it up here again? Like, how have things changed since day one? Well, it's group stage. Just not in front of this crowd here. It's a best of five as well. So it's a big difference in Twisted Minds. They look like they've evolved rebellion. They obviously had that upper bracket match against Man City. Tell you about yesterday. I bought this is a different base man city to twist the months It is a different reason listen in the last match of I mean twist the minds They have the pressure 57 shots in five games SR had 39 But then the difference was when there's time to make the play count SR did it every single time and honestly can't delete Okay, what's a little quiet in that series? He made one game play in game five, but he had a couple next that were missed For some eyes better be ready. We've played so much rocket league on the road to get here but now it is time for the semi-finals. Introducing first on the blue side, representing Mina! Those traitors to the grand final stage, look into an ad war to the trophy taste! This is Whiskey! Nice! I Was the mind you see led by MVP frontrunner at the moment monkey moon out on the French flag Gives tier case less than a year almost this little less than a year away from winning and hoisting the Rylan major Tramp she is a championship trophy. No, no all says one more world champion They added the two-time world champion to semi-final rematch here, big time matchup. And we're talking about again, it's the trophy case versus the empty trophy case. So this is Twisted Minds, they have all the trophies. Velovo, 1v1 champion, that wasn't even a year ago. These guys have seen success so recently, they come together, they're the mean ones here for a reason, and they could be best in the world. I saw some people saying that, I don't really like the way Twisted Minds play. It looks rough, it looks messy, these double crits, I love it. My play is so clear. Just one man, Monkey Moon as well. It suits him to a T. He's going to be cutting out Amber in field. He's going to be there. He trusts his teammates. It's the perfect recipe, T-Batch. And his name for his two because for the first time in a long time, I saw Monkey Moon flex at the end of that last series, man. That's scary. And last time I saw Monkey Moon flex. Oh, yeah, flex. I'm on T2 back in Dickey's. And he knows Dickey's coming up. And ever since Dickey's down now, Monkey Moon hasn't lost sense. And it's TRK to go to Mina. The synergy of this team, I think really their only weakness is their little communication issues. They have a lot of languages, Arabic, English, and Arabic in order to communicate, but when they're on, no don't commit there. They're ready to go, but this silent semi-final features two regions, the Middle East and North America. And their opponents on the orange side representing North America! The rebels are ready for an explosive shootout in Kerry! Welcome to the stage, justifying the failure! The first RLCS semi-final appearance for this organization shopper for Rebellion, this is their biggest series and what a tournament for the loss of the first killer who has had problems against French players in the past to stand up and announce himself. Yeah, but here's the thing, first killer, he has always been respected and feared by the international community. The European teams that meet the teams, they know that they can, that he can take any series into his hands at any moment, but Kofor, he's that young guy on the team, he's going to have to try and find his form for this team to get to the Grand Final. into some interesting season because usually, it's Muckin Moon walking into the boos. But the post-World Championships have paced in the boos too. Don't think I mind them. As he's scored two all-time against Muckin Moon, including winning the last two matches. It just makes sense. LJ's role has been fantastic. I mean, the first-killer LJ combo, timeless. We saw last season with Ultimate, with Chronic. The addition of Kothar has unlocked LJ as well. He doesn't have to be as much of an offensive presence. Yeah, I think that's made him a lot more confident. And also against international competition, LJ. He prepares, he prepares, he prepares to finish the competition. So we're gonna have to see how this man's out. And he, everyone knows what the head to head is gonna be. Another first go check. It's gonna be here. It's gonna be versus the goat of all time, Monkey Moon. Man, this is gonna be a match. Man, when I see these two going up against each other, all I do is remember honestly, on the year that Monkey Moon reached the number one championship trophy, the first time these two teams played was in LA. The first to the perfect sweat BDS back then. Now before they had to say, but that's that's just what I remember. That's not I know. Okay, I'm getting North American He's the one person you got a little bit of faith going up against the go one point one one goals for again 71% goal for just mission that is what first schooler does. He puts up numbers, but that trophy case is still empty He still has never won a land. He leads monkey moon in every staff on that board. You call it out He's four and two against him all time. He's won the last two times, but here's the problem He's three and five against PRK and that includes winning the last time they play and the stats are great The first kill has a ton of old champs on that yet. We should say a lot to it already today Looking like he's in career best form which is crazy to say for it's almost champions. It's gonna be tough I feel he's gonna come down to you know Her co-fair in LJ. It's gonna be a very difficult game one They got to calm those nerves of first killer probably will have to leave the charge as he always doesn't get them confident I think I almost want to invert exactly what you said I think FK has to trust LJ and Kof, that's it. Every time we do this championship Sunday, it feels like he's trying to do too much. He's too hungry and doesn't realize it's a team game. They've all got to play. And then online, we saw that the team pass, it came out finally. We got off split one about rebellion. There's no pass and it's all just 1v1 plays and there's no follow-up. Now they're starting to connect and the chemistry is there. They're incredibly safe in the first split. They didn't want to commit their second man. They're playing this 2-3 man, the defense, and it just meant there was no passing option. But they've unlocked Koko, Violet Panner has given them more freedom to play their natural playstyle. We saw it on SSG with Koko. When he was going for demo, he's being that from the first man. He looks incredible. He kind of needs to turn his brain off sometimes and just basically play on raw talent. Yeah. And the SR is the only team so far that Twisted Minds has played that is actually stimming their offense. Helping to one goal in game number one. Zero goals in game number three. One goal in game number five and their first matchup earlier on determined on Wednesday. They're going to need to be able to do that again if they have a chance. Yes, but the two games that they did win, Mr. Mines, that offense did fall out. It was five goals and four goals as well. So we all know it's hard to contain Mr. Mines for an entire match. Rebellion did it once already. Now the series is a little bit longer. They got to do it four times. Anyone who's watched Rodley for a long time will have thoughts about seeing the FPL Championship Sunday. There will be just a little bit of an atmosphere hang on this matchup like, how bad is that? We've seen this story before. We know he can't get it done. The thing I want to say to those people, which I'm kind of in the same camp here. We talked a lot about rookies at lane and how important that first matches on the stage. Now every match afterwards on the stage is increasing their exp of playing on the stage. The same thing can be said for playing on Championship Sunday. First goal was gotten here a few times. He hasn't gotten the win any of those times. But can this be the difference? Because he's got more experience every single time. How do you do it? You want him on prediction? Are you fine? I was, you know, Chalice, no, you think it's gonna happen. He's right, he's right. Do you want my prediction? Even the fact that Shelberfire Rebellion are the last North American team standing. I thought it may be 4 on 4 for one of the greatest North American Rockley plays, Voltaan Jainaps. Because a lot of people are asking me before this segment, what are you going to do when you have to get up here and pick against Rebellion? I guess we'll never know, baby, to Rebellion! They're going to join in five! I can't stop them! Come on! Thank you all! I love the pick. I love the pick. I love First Killer. But I do love my Mina, boys. I do love a high powered offense. No. Twist of Minds are the hottest team left in this tournament. I am picking Twisted Mind. You gotta believe it, General Y. Listen, if he loses, it gives us fault. Oh, Y, you don't, oh, you didn't go with his boy? No, you didn't go with his boy. I know he didn't go with his boy. Listen, I'm gonna keep it real simple here, man. Monkey Movers, First Killer, Epikase got the match up, and they beat him one time. I think he can do it again. I do believe it. Shot for our best. See that, see that, see that, see that! Look at that, Jersey, baby! Come on, show him! I'm gonna show him how to play this one! Moo! All you want, nothing better. Wait, listen, listen, I mean, it's, look. Gives it, gives it picked against his boy. But did you see his boy play earlier? No, we didn't see his boy play. Did you see Monkey Moon play earlier? Give me Twisted Minds, of course. I think they're, they, they, they, they, they. Come on, look at that! That is, look, that, that is clearly favorites up here, folks. We're splitting the desk. And the coin be the deciding factor into the air. It's gonna come up for the rebellion the chance has it Can rebellion prove the dust right narrow favorites here include the coin? Twist mines are absolutely fair inside the field though. We'll see but can first killer do it Can you get back to a grand fun? Can they get there folks? It's time. We're split down the middle shop of fire They've earned a lot of fans. Can they make them proud here on championship Sunday? We've got a European juggernaut waiting on the other side of the bracket no matter what. But how things go, which region earns the honor of challenging them with a tough game? It's time to find out. The Middle East, three champions, even the way back to the top, versus the North Americans. Three Titans, yet to taste that final glory. Only one will play for the title of Paris Major's champion. It's PRK versus FK. with the mind working to a million. If you like this crowd, it's a battle of good versus evil versus they're good on the evil side. They're going to quit it like something, this game won't afford to fight aggressive. Is that going to happen? I'd go back both sides here. Of course, very good merit as to why they're going to be supporting their teams. All the Gendemates fans, they now need to switch over to see if the man carry the French flag onto the stage and think, you know what, mate, you are our GOAT, you are the GOAT of the game. The Rebellion are an INCREDIBLE form, and can these two face each other in the opening match of this entire tournament? Yeah, it went to Game 5, and it was Shopify Rebellion that won it, offered to winning their group, you can think that. All those days ago, there was a very different version of Twisted Mines, the wins that they had earlier against Gendemates, perhaps the most impressive. Certainly a couple of their careers, he's done it all, multiple champion, three times he's won RLCS lands. Of course there's a couple of world championships as well, not to mention that TRK has won a major too. Yeah, we've got one of the 56 places in their results, and four in squads! And TRK takes first place, TRK, Nina's champion forevermore, first gonna knock it down, and TRK was there waiting! And it's a goal that this crowd were wanting to see as you mentioned of today sweat to sigh gentle mates They'll have to defend better though against rebellion. Now, it's definitely one of their weak spots where I mean gentlemen They didn't necessarily test them as hard as I think they could have done There was a lot of moments where Tristan minds did some defense and thought oh, we're actually got a way out here That will not be the case with rebellion They have looked remarkable first killer have been him so far offensively They don't have that many shots on target, but when they do get them on, they are scoring one in three. It is a remarkable statistic. So they pick their spot and they will absolutely nail it time and time again. It's going to be intriguing to see if that twisted mind about a couple of words behind the scenes. That junior has hammered instantly the importance of keeping your car in deep. Who goes up here against LJ? a good place to finish for the ultimate so far. His best finisher alongside Fast Killer, who's helped to stick on the silver medal a couple of times in his career. Interesting touch there. Nubro sets it forwards. Nubro again. He's going to have to chase this one. Monkey didn't tease it up. Poglu's on the attack this time. Shot far better yet to get the bot monkey without one. And what a performance Monkey has had in so far this event. He was without and out the best player on the pitch in the previous series. He was like mechanical. Yeah, that's a bit of surprise to me. You know, between here, then move on to TRK, Oskie, Nass and Archie. Monkey move. What's the guy? It was a return to form Thanos and to the lobby. Vicky's arena, it calls to it. Here he is. Monkey dude again. Trying to get this one round the corner. Who survives? Tends to build upon that one mill lead. And the good foreigner's also a foreigner. So open the gate. The thing outpaced by enemies by Shokai Rebellion. You can touch on that wall in the centre. There is Monkey move. Delicate poison, those mechanics. He's not placed in a single turn of his path. He's got that recently ducked out to safety. I think going to mean isn't very good for him. He's had to change his place up. He's had to go just to come back. But he can sit and wait. He has to have the mechanics. And we're seeing Chopper and Berlin really put the pressure on now. First get into the corner. Chestnut's like set far off the net. Straight across. LJ can't get too much on this. A monkey move now. He's been magical so far. Can't get a set for the first getter. Taking the opportunity. TRK has hunky moves to his left. French man is the player they want to feed at the moment. And I think, this is going to be a bumping out move. They sort of get themselves out of that tangle for now, but it does lead to a bit of pressure for a fenny. If you do one more of the fenny on TRK, such a good pass. The pass comes back, but Kofa, he was picking up. There's some foul gets on our target still. Don't press X to shoot in the end. Is anyone following? It's weak, and it can be saved. We've seen this game from TN previously. They can be a bit messy. But he needs to do more to sneak it through. LJ's continued attack however, Kopa, lovely touch, sneaks it round one to the backboard, next player two and he's going to be on twisted minds, LJ had to go entirely into his own half to get some boost again, and if you look up at the top, you'll see there's only a minute and a half left at this one, it's a long time ago now that Twisted Mind's got their opening goal, but so far he still squirts a bit from his two kids, but first going to go forward, yes the musty bit of safe out here, okay, Kopa pass, virtual LJ to shoot this one, shut down by the three most dangerous letters, in that back corner, FK vs Monkemu, with those two tight hits of the game. Epic attempt to go central, which, as quickly, finds Numo at 70 seconds left. Referellient to grab one back, and it was a low-scoring series previously. TRK! He raises the roof, and it makes sense. Yeah, look, just after Tyne here, this touch of code for wasn't ideal, and TRK was straight onto it. But you might not have seen this first killer getting bumped earlier on from the third twist of Mike's player. All involved, this team know how to score goals. domestically there for for remarkably well but falcons of fall and they have risen it has been an incredible roster change for them the final minute rebellion you've been very stuck in North America need to get something through this business that has been waiting for a state first that's gonna central on a cell chain from the goal line TRK can clear new boat he is that taking priority nationalistic advanced rebellion another chance made for it's TRK's on the ceiling with him, monkey been chasing this one, does he to dive in too much? He's put his mind, he'll be throwing chance to the balls away. 30 seconds, can go quick, 11, first killer gets it high, it's not the best shot in the world. It's a lazy pass though to set them up and that has wasted 10 seconds with no power on it. We're approaching the final chance in this game, Kouper up high, tries to get this seeding with Munchkin, who's shutting him down quickly, Munchkin, shutting it down again, only 10 remaining, F-Gate. He's being hit before and he has succeeded. Caught about 30 moves. One player on it, Cusbo. See, he's an Elger, but with no moves, he just has to pop it. Monkey move. Round one. Caught about final chance for FK with LJ to the backboard. It is gonna be game number one for Twisted Mines. Yeah, easy enough. They got that second goal and they were able to ease things away, keeping their opponents in arms length. The matter is something the teams have been struggling to do with a belly. You mentioned that shooting a goal percentage is really high. Twisted mind didn't look worried about them. Yeah, not at all. They took relatively low shots, I don't know, relatively high shots rather. In that game, 10 shots in total. Typically, as I said, they put 10 on target. They're going to score around three of them this tournament so far. Just with mind, hold them to zero. Perfect in game number one. And it is a little bit, I think, in this storyline. the head-to-head between first killer and monkey moon. The two guys that have been them on their respective teams, and in that head-to-head, they've played six times, and it is in favour of first killer. Four wins to two, and he has won the last two against monkey moon. And he wants to do it again to get to that fight. I think they all remember as well. I believe it was the first LA major back, where first killer became the first player to ever get a perfect sweep on a land, and it was a guest monkey moon face-clamp versus then BDS. and I'm sure these players sort of forget these things. Yeah, I'm sure they do to an extent, but a lot of me thinks I remember that. I really hate that. I really like beating you. I hope so, I hope so. And there's going to be a lot of history between these players, especially when, as we've been saying, two Titans of the game and two coaches on the screen as well have been around since the absolute inception. So they have to also make sure that you stick around for the announcement Because there is going to be entering a new era of Rocking by all accounts and these two players are probably the previous and the present. Not even up high on the kick-off strat, here he goes! That's low end up! Nearly contact with Moki Moon. And Able however, just to get that final tapping. If we're talking about the future, but Mubo is looking very much like the present at the moment, the 1v1 world champion. So far his best performance in 3v3s is top six. He and LJ have already matched that. Trying to go one higher. Sparking in teaser after war to Nubov. TOK is chasing this one. Nooooooo! Drifted by Annalisio. What a capture. From Nubov. Spalmer on corner and he stays on it. From the dog. From the rebellion defender. How do you have enough booms to readjust like that? How do you have enough neurons? How do you have enough nubo? That's not twisted minds, I think. I wish we could con this. Monkelin into the centre, close for the catch, 3RK tracking him all the way, shoved for a belly in. Still yet to score in this incredibly tense series. And I want to make it a bit more tense, I think. Get that first goal, get the monkey up there back, for a hetoporically and physically, of the 6-yard box, 3RK, still to reset, but still, for the defense, Levo chasing Ghostbunny, free this ball away, and last base for Ghostbunny, Monkelin immediately dies him down. That's exactly how they shut down the offense of the gentleman. It's time and time again, but they were cut as well, constantly. It was all gone. It is now all done. They cut it. They cut it. They stole it. What is this? It hides. They are slicing through this rebellion with absolute ease. New World is found by Monkey Moon. 2-0 and they are making it look utterly simple right now. The past is finding one another. The boost control belongs to Twisted Mind. Should Fire Emilia need something? Alfa can fight it, he gets Kopa! TRK's reading that one! It feels past the red! Solo attempts at red! The Belian! Nothing is working! And this rebellion has been watched in France! TRK! Once again able to find the teammate. Alfa used all of his moves. Just hit that one towards the twisted-mind goal. Her called a rare shuttle target. Saved here by TRK. Move over with the catch. It could be a burn when he's starting to feel like this. He starts to worry every time he can hold on. He gets the visual on the cross! And TRK has to track back. which looks very awkward for a betting on that defense sometimes but as the deaths were saying there can be a big distrust especially when it comes to the final day of events they get so far and then first get a sometimes six not necessarily in this instance there's sometimes things do you want me to do more do we need to just get the extra step and with no goals coming through for them that could definitely become a factor but he needs to trust the process trust the team and make sure that that is going to difference make it, break from LJ to clear the opposite corner, tap on front cover for monetary safely into his own backside. Newer up in the next round too is a lovely plate, hot hiver, routine for both of us. Now he just needs to work his way from the orange half. This position though is where Twisted Mines to me have the biggest weakness when they are a couple of goals that will make throw anything away. Earlier on they did at times against gentle mates that made that series incredibly close, but this time they see a different side of Twisted Mines, a side They can't play this more boring side of the game, you know, control, keeping your moves, not checking yourself, but everything, making sure that third man isn't too far forwards. But now it's like a rebellion, of course. Oh, there it is, off the score! I guess they have! There it is! The only goal for a rebellion, the prayer is answered at the temple, come on, sends it onto the nose of LJ. And through the hearts of the TM net, that is won! The rebellion builds. What do they have from the kickoff? As they leave it for Kofor, it's a slower kickoff from Kofor, but it's a little sparse. It's not a bad one either. Kofor put the ball in his direction, so it should be a regulation play from there. Two minutes left. Now they're going to get the lead back. Oh, they were four. That was about the second one. They're going to go side-tip! The rebellion set right back. The immediate swarm of crunchy rebellion. They can hear them buzzing. And this one, all the buzz is about the top corner from TRK. That swarm becomes almost impenetrable to run out of your own half-bomb. Twisted mines secure their third with three minutes gone. It's an aggressive kick off edge for Shuffle Fire Rebellion, trying to up the pace right now. The three of them went into that one. Almost a ball shot but not quite. And look what happens to save result. It leads into the Twisted Mines! The Lonkeyman springs to life as soon as he leaves the ceiling, he meets him in the middle and may well sign their death note on Rebellion in the second game. They need an answer. This does not feel like a semi-final so far. Twisted Mind's making this look utterly simple. And that's what happens to Lonkeyman teams. When Dickies is on the horizon, something just changes within him. It's been happening for years. He's now won five series in a row, since World's location at Dickey was announced. He's in... Ah! There's barely a dead one! The fifth goal won per series, where they're here secured. This man is hungry for another North American land to win. He just keeps on going. The longevity is inspiring for my... Another one! Another goal! It's going insurmountable! How can a failure come back from this mentally? They can't play a glove! They can't do anything right now. They're setting the ball from left to right. Twisted months are always there. Yeah. Okay, that's what they did to Mates. They were always in the way. They almost haven't believed this regard for how much boost they use. How much they will go out of position. They will go to the ball first, and rarely will they get featured to it, despite helping their stretch results. It can lead to very simple two-counter attacks, But there really needs to be that hold of force. It is not yet, and in the final minute, it is four to wrestle back for a million. And CJ CJ on the desk said, I guess we'll never know. And I guess this may well be another case, so we will never know what Burstner looks like lifting that trophy. We're a long way away from that so far. It was funny to say it. It was really funny. We can use that in B-roll later. Yeah, fair enough. Let's see what Marlon Manor has to say about that, because I am almost certain One thing we will know is that they're going to take a tactical timeout after this one, but it's not going to help yet. Tristan Mines are slapping them down time after time. They're in mind early in this tournament as well. Tristan Mines did score the land-goal record. Ten in a single game against ninjas in pajamas. They're not going to rig that today, but they show just how many goals they're able to secure against the teams that we consider to be the top in the world. With this motor and engine in running, they become unstoppable. to survive. Wouldn't have in their wildest dreams imagined the semifinals going this well. Looking this good, feeling this easy. But this, ladies and gentlemen, is what true Rocket League club state looks like. Remember that time you went on ranks of on like six games on a road? Never Scaled up to the max And it's six goals The twisted minds Against a rebellion that's Barely getting his boots off I would like for the chat a new poll to let me know First one in chat Alright, fair enough, your old numbers coming First one in chat Do we see a rebellion time out here A taggy team being taken I would be honestly Honestly, the flexed, if a rebellion timeout isn't incoming. This applies too, they lost a last check. You know what I mean? You lose two games in a row, check. You get slammed in the second game, check. You don't know what you're doing at the moment, check. Nothing is working. This is like, the plan B button is gonna break. And we have just had an areas timeout rebellion. What are you saying? What are you saying? The violent pattern right now. I think it's tough because I think for a lot of this game, you can celebrate small moments, but it's tough to try and get through the intangible moments of, they were faster, they're in a better position than me, they can do this. The biggest thing that you can almost get from a lot of these teams that play fast, that play very frantic, attempt to just rotate out via foosball, even grab small pads, try and demo them a bit more, unsettle them where they stand. And that would be the biggest part of this. If you can make sure that they are not feeling completely confident in where they are playing at any given moment, then that is how you can get through Twisted Mind. I do not think that it is going to be easy. Oh, they've got 45 more seconds, sir. Can't have something easy. It certainly will not be. Hopefully for a belly and hopefully for any North American American fans watching on CJ CJ Are gonna win this one there is something making a thing because Yeah, I think this is where you and I always do always historically always different. Yeah, I think give it a minute Oh concede solid rocket league for one minute. Yeah solid rock. It's a solid rock clean rotations you're going to say the opposite? I could play it a bit faster. I'll do it a bit quicker. I think that, as I said, you're essentially to attack the core of the issue. What is the issue? It is that they are fast, they are stealing a few of the boosts in yourselves, they're getting to the ball a lot quicker. How do you shut that down? Intrinsically, you get rid of their boosts, you remove one player, so they can't play this frantic, cutting across the plate style. That may not be to play faster. It might just be to play more tactically. faster. It might just be to play more tactically. Maybe it is just, okay, 10% more of the time, go through the big boost, attempt to slow them down a little bit more. That to me is the biggest problem. But I find the mobile disagree that there is something that needs to change. Well, all eyes right now are somewhere a billion. Will they change the play style? They've been solid throughout. They've been taking their chances, but you have to have chances to take. Even in that first game, you said they had 10 shots. That shot to me. I didn't think they had it right now. This is my deadly chance, Big Seat! At wide, who's following us? First kill of the next touch. Best of a fending knife from Rebellion on the front foot. An immediate pressure is still going towards Twisted, first killer. Can't get around the side of TRK, so Kopa needs to attempt it. There's actually B2. Monkeyman is called to anchor nicely quickly again. LJ Central, close for he's found, just bouncing off the post, so can't get any contact on that hold. It's a great thing to do from FK, so Kopa again, but he leads two of the Hikers heads. Beats a third and none of his teammates are ready. Kofa was deep-knowing, gets a perfect first touch, it's a little bit heavy actually, I thought that was... He's going to be able to follow, that's better, it's to the centre, I'll say. Leaves to Makibele! With the own goal, they get to the bat, 1-0 in the end! First lead, 4-0 in the end, so far in this series, and Makibele can't help himself but score. Slammed onto that one, the ultimate ballplay. We've been enjoying those ones now for over a decade full shots, There's one more. Here is Luma, they're shrinking the kickoff. It's a good win there. You know they got the demo, but they didn't get hold of the ball enough. Monkey goes on the back four. Berska in front of him is going to go high. Shuffler and Bellion, but maybe then firstly, certainly for a very long time in this one, Berska goes high. Could he double it up? The second one for Bellion would be massive, but so far, Monkey who's betting has been good enough. But Luma gets it towards CRK, nearly. Great touch by Pogba. Liggy said, make sure leaders don't concede in the first. The first minute is going to be up, play two jump wide contact, and Rebellion, they are on the off by the skin of their teeth. Monkeamoon was continuing shaving it down. The minute and a half that has gone, this is the first really convincing pressure for Joseph Mines, and Rebellion is safe on the skin. The teeth have skin. Anyway, next up, Monkeamoon, he gets a catch. Once again, a quick restart, he does, he sends it up at high, TRK, he's bumped out of the way, so probably too much with that one. Monkeamoon put up one over that boost pad. It was slightly out of his path, so as any head fat, that's an awkward touch there. From Lulo, he's given them all a great back again, and it's not great play for me to see him at a few seconds. Yeah, that was a good pressure start, he's filled the way big for a billion, it could have been the C. And yeah, he wasn't quite able to actually come through anything, as the path back does happen immediately. Quickly diving home, in his monkey moon. And I'm liking the speed now, with your single-fillion attack. Maybe this fourth goal has galvanized him, showing them what they can do. FK on target, nearly a crate up from LJ. All three customized players have been called into action. The near-bump-bump monkey mood, unsuccessful. The rebellion, they have got the bit between their teeth in the blue half. The bit between the skin of their teeth. Rebellion need this game after a tactical timeout. LJ thinks they're coming in leasing the first killer, so it just waits. Nubo, what are you gonna do? I've got a hundred boosts. Challenge anything. That's exactly what it does. Hope they're coming in. Slumped it down, boys. TRK. LJ in front of him, great pressure once again from a shot by Rebellion. He's got a much better team, he's left here for first killer. LJ in second, first killer this time. Makes up Nubo, keeping Rebellion, keeping this ball so well in the opposite half. His first three minutes though has been managed, I think exceptionally well by Rebellion. They've had some pretty nerve-y moments from both teams where they have still held firm. It's a good play to greatly... TRK, opposite top corner! A little bit too much beat on that, that boy. He does send it flying, somewhat too high. Straight down the ball again is Monkelin, hits it cause he can, finds TRK, no reset so he has to go straight into the air dribble. Again, well managed defense so far and LK realises it's a little bit of time and so takes it. Yeah but just the last 15 seconds though, Twisted Lines are still upwiring on that sucker punch if they are able to equalise here in a game that has been won from the off by Shufflefire and Bellion. It could be devastating to their mentality, but so far, the Bellion have not crumbled defensively. a great 50-50, and he'll get the centre-sport of Goose, to a game from the middle, Numo. What's coming? What's coming? It's hard to defend! BOOOM! Numo is straight on the needle! It was exceptionally well played, but neither went! Neither did Berskin as part sidelines after sending a parallel back into his own net, and Alger's on the sideline, expecting him to go at misplenication from the value and great position shot from Numo. And that is equalizing goal at a sucker punch against Rebellion. Shuffla Rebellion must stand up and be counted now if they are to take anything from this series. We have seen nothing. Suggest that a reverse sweep may be possible. It has to be now you'd expect, of course I could be wrong, they'll keep on going, even if they can lose this game. The twisted minds that they can take it, they will feel it is all theirs to lose. It remains one-one. First clear into the corner, has to go back, wants to get an LJ involved, can't quite do so. See okay towards Nubum, Monkey Moon waiting, Nubum lingering. Using all of his boosts but not getting hold of the ball. Kofa's in there, maybe an angle to shoot or keep the jaw on the voice, they're a pass, not until. Oh, Nubum is there. Monkey was like, can't I go on this one, first gonna slow him down and then wrap up these feet. Oh! Fank's still, from FK. Really great play in his own half when he was under a lot of pressure. 20 seconds, twisted minds and rebellion, spotting heads. Nubo. Oh, DRK calls off Nubo. His monkeyman into the middle. LJ7, Nubo gets a better head of it. Can't forget the touch, yes he can. Toesperd drops in low, an expert to it. It's gonna be hit, and he's going to top on monkeyman. A great pass forward, FK. Routine clear. This twisted mindset, they're ready to skate the better. A skim across should be same, more like burskill. Does he take the open time? Rebellion, two. They need this goal. In fact, seen it. but he just could not get it. There's Gitter. There's a lot of moves off that kickoff stride. He absolutely pumps it long. I'm loving the heat checks from here. They're making sure the systemizer's staying on its there. LJ, attempted solo play. They're just going to shut down my doobo. Okay, into the mid-oast. Look, a new one through here. The kite may have been on someone to the ceiling. Always is. Sted, we continue. That's a better pass. Mikey, do it to the ceiling this time. The angle earlier went straight under the middle this time and it wasn't as effective. Bit more boost and that was terrifying. LJ, poor clear. No one though didn't expect it, so he got off his car around the ball. The continued pressure though, another bump to Lumo, straight to LJ. Hulkeman shoots, another long clear. Clearly a change to the rebellion I've made. It just keeps changing his mind. Keep the narrow half. No looking stretch, no defensively. Running pretty thin on boost. Hulkeman fakes out that upper. LJ ready. Great rebound from LJ. Haljeh this time into the centre, TRK was waiting a minute into this overtime and neither team any closer to making that real statement. TRK almost faked out, cruelly was in, but not quite. It's been an extremely hectic first minute in overtime, and Stoeper does get a central, a clean bump, but the clear is good enough, but it's not going to matter. Yeah, it's our sort of play for Twisted Mines, if when they've got each other on their own goal and they still get away with the TRK, it's not that time, noobo. Just watched the track, he was alone, could pop his every twist of mind, but a scary moment. This is too short though, it had to be faster. T-R-K was ready for it, but he's going to bounce into the centre, but only as far as Nouveau. Who is he first going to retake the helm so far? Code by Fancy as he goes. And it really is going to come down to one of these goals. Nouveau, Fancy's there himself. Opportunity, T-R-K nice and high, but no one's falling up from Twisted Minds. And I think we're seeing that belief start to grow for rebellion. It does, but I could be swiped away in a second. TRK leads it to Munchin, and Munchin waits like split second longer. First gonna stick to the infos, and he'll get something here. It doesn't, and they overcommit it. It's not a problem. No, no, we're in the hell of nowhere. Get the odd-imported touch. On zero boost, it gets to the backboard. Incredibly quick. So dangerous. LJ, sidewall skipped. Only finds the corner, though. Probably not to go midfield, as that does get passed. One demo, Nivah removes first gainer. He has been the problem child of this team. LJ might work, only just getting that one clear, with the with the, and the ball falls straight towards Bunkidoo. On throw, reset instead, can't get this double, helped out by Koopa above the net. Who's next to it? It's going to be LJ. The clear is on as is the demo. Rebellion are getting squashed. That's great. Nivah prefers to take those extra couple of touches and get it at least halfway. That's what you can tell the pressure is up though. No end to end there, dribbles here. Just making sure you play long. Making sure you are not gummed. Making sure teammates behind you where needed. T-R-K, get someone from the ceiling! Follow up my mark, you've never got quite scored! It took five minutes and a previous open of the last series to score. We're looking likely for a goal around that time here. Oh, team up from FK on target, but he's gonna be back. Thanks to the teammate. Can he get it central? LJ's gonna be stuck. Shutting him down rather. The boost is playing a very vital part here. Has no identification. Right before this game kicked off, it's been so much closer. Just another monkey move could be away. It gets towards Lomo. Never has the boost to make something from this. What's he gonna do on Berskiller? Berskiller doesn't let him. See, okay, I said earlier, into where the edibles aren't really on. Maybe that'll change him with TMP though. Well met by Kofa. Oh, very awkward. Great shot from LJ. He bounces midly. Millions working round the go inside post for the post of bar post Yeah, I didn't want to get dark take us no one won't even in the center well that it get by LJ great front foot defending by Shot fire a failure. That's what you have to know against wisdom It's the same shot from honking over I don't blame him just make sure you get it on target stress them out some more Do you okay on target? No, but LJ is quicker. I'll give him service. I'm a loose the 50-50 to comfort This is green space now for Shokbara Velia to run into. So, Mubo gets in. There's a bounce though. LJ, he's up. First killer. He looked to the sky, to the ceiling. He needs to do anything with it. He'll get his stuff for this block. He's great mechanics from ASK. Just shuts it down with work of the real problem. Mubo hits his central, looking at another 50. Chance after chance. LJ gets the ball. Yes, there, down the road. Safe by TRK. Yeah, TRK ready. Mubo said this, I'm trying to just pull on the ball. TRK tracking this one all the way. The comfort has the boost as Altey has a centre, wants to get it to his teammate. LJ waiting, Mubo in the middle, this is some danger right now for Twisted Minds. So TRK says no, they're defending so deep the third man. This is an electric overtime. Both teams shocking us with the amount that they are able to put forward off the pitch. Blood, sweat and tears. Both sides completely earning the victory, but only one count. Yes, Chef Farrinbelli in the least showing us what they're made of in this game as Mubo goes high. It's the reason we've come all the way, bumped away by LJ so far. I'll tell you, truck that one brilliantly. Go for the push into the side, and you see me have to. We're seeing the shot that approach Trump just in mind. As many shots as I can! Fucking it, guys! What the fuck?! Get your hands! Really, what a tissue! That could have been it! And yet, rebellion survived again! It should have been it, something had to be there, and opportunities! The goal was gaping, but still, we are interrupted this overtime! One more from Kofi, go for it! LJ's learning it's enough! With me, with me! Oh man, it's so easy to do! But you hate to see it all on! LJ's been the first scourge! LJ, for rebellion! Secure their first game! Of a double tap from the gods! You see what it means to buy an opandum? And the Rebellion side will breathe a sigh of relief. We do not need to reverse sweep on Championship Sunday. LJ more like LeBron James because that would have felt like a three pointer in this one. He lose it in three games in a row. Instead, Rebellion put themselves right back into this series. After an exhausted overtime. Just look at these scores. LJ close to a thousand points. With all of them high, all of them involved. But he was actually bumped by LJ for that first goal, it was all smiles then. But he did not know the long perilous walk that was ahead of him, just to take game three. I must admit, the Nubra scored our spear in the worst. There are 22 shots on target for Twisted Minds. An incredible onslaught. And that's how you see these two teams. Twisted Minds will just keep punishing him, just get a nice shot and approach. As many pellets as they can get on target, they'll be happy with. Rebellion are a little bit more calculating. They'll wait to take their time. They don't really have that in the series, though. They can't afford to take their time. Now, having to learn on the fly, there's sometimes you need to go quantity over quality, and I think that starts to come through in the overtime. Went to Submines on their first level bracket game against Fury. They lost the first two against them, and then went on the full game streak. Don't know if I'm quieting and I'm yet. from Shakarabellion saying they can do the same against Twisted Minds, but that was the starter. That was the first step for a bellion. Can they start sprinting? Not from the kick of the clock. No, they're going to be starting, not even the counter unfortunately. And he's giving us a choke, guys. Come on. Hell of a time for each state sprinting, then the first shot is then parking at Tesco. Nice, that's good. Yeah, we're in France, Le Tesco. Sorry. Le Tesco. So you guys may have realized that we're going to be looking at some tech issues there between the two teams. So enough time for Sadjou, if you stand around and farm some aura from that cat. He looks incredible. Every time I've seen him, he's got the eyes completely blacked out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you just see like his mouth screaming with either joy or anger. Yeah, sure. And it's hard to tell without the eyes. Yeah, that is true, that is true. The shortboard coaches will be easing this opportunity. And this is where our football coaches really sort of, and they're called really. You know what your players need in these situations. Do they need instruction? Do they need for you to make a joke to sort of, you know, remove the pressure? Do they need for you to allow them to stay locked in? Learning what your specific players need is an absolute key in these sorts of situations. Because if you lose that mentality, if you lose a little bit of an enter in your mind or change mindset in a way that you shouldn't do, something that'll help you relax, such as the fine margins we're playing with in our release possible very top. And rebellion are going to be coming off that last game. It's extremely relieved. They're going to be right. Finally, we've got that game. We've been able to prove that we can take it against the team. There's absolutely peaking. The immediate kickoff strategy is to side-boost them. We're going to get straight back into it with Tristik Marlin's diving at every ball possible. Yeah, I think Twisted Mind's right now. They're going to try and save it in this game. I believe we're going to see them at full play. Shot by Rebellion though. They do have the tools to deal with that and punish them. They've taken opportunities throughout this tournament. Will they get more? Nuba gets a second touch. Up towards TRK, on the back of Nuba, tried to steal a hundred boots, but didn't spawn in time. So, as he's able to fire a team dunk, he'll back down a little while. Very scary, loose ball at the mid-build, and the shot is lightly passed, lightly shot. If an awful one comes in through this, TRK has sent with no boost. It allows Kota to come in. And I think they're here is to be integral for a belly to get that early goal Especially off that brief pause that we had eyes I know the issue is on their end And there's an even better issue on their end The defender is bumped and the monkey is allowed in Yeah, Monkeyburn is the biggest issue for lots of photos right now But it was Neumont who was blasting open those doors Making it simple for Monkeymoon Great play right there, twisted minds They take first blood in this game and they will keep on pushing, keep on attacking. TRK wants to get it here, the third man back over the halfway line, some close before any given time, some far in front of their own goal. Sending means nothing for Twisted Mines. As Kupka gets around the corner, Monkeydon and TRK were able to get a touch there from the side, Nubo leaves it, Nubo waits, Nubo tries to TRK. He should quite hit through that defending. It was left there for Altey, risky but it works risky but it works is gonna be the mantra of this team going into these next couple of games I think just the most in playing at that kind of mantra this entire tournament so far I'm focused by one central not by the public though. Stay firm, stay solid, never third take away now here's move I reset, got my use of the dunk there to keep it nice and centering instead of full batter and belly in. A high fly game first killer on the charge once removed the mobility of the ball from it. There's an arm of corner, LJ. The score was there, Natshop fired a belly in that the team. Natshop themselves forwards, but there was some clean touching. Natshop, Natshop, I can't get all the way inside! It's the 1-0! Eight steps! Season opening, absolutely slanted home! Thers get a cut off his line. As the relief gets a finger to it. Two-0, twisted mind, two minutes gone. And in the Coliseum poll, we are seeing a broad on the sand. Monkey Moon wants to contribute to the club bar. Dormos gets it towards Nubo, against it is way someone. That's a little bit of a misstep there, twisted minds, and then only a furious attack. First leg ends with a brilliant play from him. T-R-K, Monkey Moon, not each other towards the ball, but once a pretty well-elting has a bit of a second one, which is much too much, especially now if he's taken out the game. Nubo, opportunity free-set. Immediately into the double tap of the back wall. The speed of Nubo is just incredible to witness. Oh, Jake left-hand wing. See, the pass on 3D Central shuts out of... It takes all three defenders, though, to get away to shut LJ down. Yeah, I mean, Twisted Mines together, they get in each other's way defensively. If they do concede a goal here, Shokhara Bellingham will certainly feel they can get back into this game. Two goals is not a lead I would call unassailable for Twisted Mines. Especially with these well-typed devos, it falls for Kofa. Can he get something going? He's been quiet this series. He gets a 50-50 on Monkey Room, first killer. He does the safe. Watch it across the wall, tells him it is read by Nubo. And in Nubo intelligently, he had no boost. He was forced to wait, but it does benefit him in the end. Monkey Room round one, but then gets slowed down on the way to the Cocoa Challenge. So it comes out to the benefactor. And this ball being passed back towards Chris Goodline more often than I think Rebellion would like. Nubo, an air dribble. Don't have to arrow into it at all to get that next up, Next up, from the mind of all of them expecting it. Ferskiller has a little bit of daylight in front of him. He also has a little bit of time left in this game. Just 90 seconds now to get two goals. And they're not likely to be getting any so far. Ferskiller has a hundred boosts. The MVP so far for Shukhara Bellion, gets it towards LJ. Great touch again from Luba, using all of his boosts, twisted mines, using everything in the tank, just to keep Shukhara Bellion away. Kostavore just divides the out of four being rebellion on near look. every single stat offensive and defensive. It is a really hard match for a Vellion to work their way into, especially after that quick break, and they had all that momentum after winning the overtime. It's really tough to work that from, and they are struggling to do so. First, get a note, if this is the first of one, I could have started a trend. We enter the final minute. Vellion, nearly at death's door. It's recidivized, they're sitting deep now, though they realize they don't have to over commit. When Firstklip got that double-tack, three Twisted Mines players threw themselves in the ball. Oh, he could be better saying that was actually a fake from Twisted Mines. Firstklip didn't expect it. Chips in the centre, who lost? Round the corner, still has it on him, still does not care. Opportunities blaming. As Twisted Mines, Dorma Thlebrey, set to the ground. T.O.K. on target! And when he gets chances like that, with a little bit of space, Do you know he is gonna come out on top? Yeah, it was tough for Kofa, but maybe he should have got that save, perhaps. An example of mental exhaustion for a billion. Because they have been swarmed in truth since the beginning of this series. The amount of defending they are having to do. What balance are coming forwards? There will always be gaps, there will always be mistakes eventually. So I said, mind's bucket, what's the thought, which was, you know, I want to set pre-grip his way forwards. Not going to make too much difference, something I think it's clear what the mathematics are saying. And that is a shock fighter failure. If they alternate it to another Grand Finals for LJ and Burskiller, we'll have to win three games in a row. Christian Mines' march continues. They are so close to a Grand Finals. I guess one of our patrols, you don't know which one yet. coming over by Tati are gonna be seeing at the finalist disease that we're taking home at the trophy in Paris and if it does go to Tristan Mines they just need to win one more we were saying that we're planning they'll be happy that they got one game in this series just to start things off as that takes them and they need more than that they have not been able to get any momentum going I thought they've worked through their punches every now and then, whereas Kist advice have happily, if they're winning, they will get another goal, and another goal, and another goal. I see another one coming from Kist advice. I think that with Rebellion, they are straddling an extremely fine line of, we play fast, steal that boost to get the clubs, but also, Nubo can top-bust it and just get a goal out of nowhere if we overextend. I mean, it's difficult not to overextend against Nubo. You know, I didn't see that shot coming. You see it from the goal there, from the casting, you see it from the perspective, it's easier to know what the players are going to do for us than it is for them as they compete for this beautiful trophy. That's what it is for the players, it's the trophy that they really want. I want to make a slight mistake if Nuba's going to punish him. And you look towards the numbers as well, you see how many times his players have linked up. Rebellion actually passed considerably more often. 37 passes, whereas contact from one player to the other compared to his 23 on the side of Twisted Mines. They're linking up more, but they're just not getting that final chance. Through the hit, so low a bit more open. If this were a first-giller, we'll happily become him again. LJ misses off the bat, but it could save them with a buff. Sorry, they could start here to Twisted Mines, nearly one up. And what would be the game that takes them to the grand finals? So much joy this team have had. They have to put up with it first killer, he's overcommitted there, he's saved by his teammates, bailed out for now. Coach Brad's a hundred boosts, it's an awkward start in game number five for Shopify Rebellion. I think I'll take another 30 seconds to be honest. He said hold out after that one minute mark, but I think with the seconds that you can get through, just in mind the unscathed, it's happy days. What a demo, it is gorgeous from Kofa, but no one's to follow him. If that hasn't been the story so far for Rebellion, one player does something incredible, they break him down, And LJ, who wasn't even all himself, will call it for a solo play! Kofa, send it out for a throw-in. Yeah, Shukfar and Bellyman will keep the attack going, Tarskina is here. He has boots, he can get this done. Goes towards LJ, preying position, it was just by rebellion. Good buck from TRK. Just throw that one down for Nubow. Yeah, free positioning from LJ. I love how offensive that was. Just staying, lurking, waking. They see it, they get LJ off the whole play line. He's making this awkward. And it's tough for Twisted Minds, they're being stretched in. Can't, they puncture the puck and TRK! It is a devilish duo! And the Neurons link up! Twisted Minds are for a minute and a half open the scoring! You've got to filter the code for their where, do you look where? Do you turn, you try and defend? And you've got TRK anyway, you try and go for the ball, and Marky moves the control of it! He's not going to miss that, I think many of us watching off wouldn't have missed that with TRK clearing the way, stop, he's got it not included. Sorry. Mubo comes forwards. Sparskiller out-wise. Waddle twisted. It's been decent pressure though from rebellion. And the LJ in particular, who position himself a little bit better. A bit more offensive, thinking boys, let's just chop the kitchen sink. We've got one more chance here. We cannot absorb any more losses. Mubo central, that's a great 50. And Kunpo, a demo on Monkey Moon. Now having more devos on land than there have been domestically, that may well be what's missing. Sparskiller pitches in more, but it's not to be. Monkey Moon was waiting. Using that experience, he's been here before. He's won three RLCS events and that he's fought well cut in 2024. And of course, he's the last time around. The champions bounce back, Twisted Minds on the ascendancy. Noobo, he catches, Twisted Minds, they have no moves. You think they must be in trouble? Somehow they get something. Now, Monkey Boop got scored. What is that, Monkey Boop? He's set nearly there. It looked like it could have been in a round game. I complain about that. With Monkey Boop, it's sitting at the bottom corner. it's routine for LJ to take. We need this individual brilliant, I think, a little bit for Rebellion. They're passing a lot, and one of them is taking the man to Mockimoo. Back for Mockimoo! Just wide of a goal! So near, yes! Over! It might be the killer, they can get one more. TRK turns around, and they have a commision! Mockimoo scores against Backland. Well, they will choose it until the update. Onto the back for all this chance for the first killer. misses. Kopa has to leave and algae again. Really nice from here. I like how far they're pushing off. Cam, they just get the first goal. Nero's turn, he kicks it, Blackbarr skill is up, using the ceiling. Kopa's to his right. He has to fight first but now it's not going to happen. They just have nothing in the tag. I love the idea. And it becomes again this low boost twisted minds. Just been gifted 33 as one commune from the bank of Kopa. Midfield. First gonna shot on target. ripped from the new player. Rebellion, draw at level. Hey, three for the Bank of Confer, but the Twisted Lines don't have the monopoly of goals in this series. My, oh, boy. That brings us right back to reality. Just as Twisted Lines are beginning their procession of celebration. Instead, Rebellion dragged them right back. It might be a one-two punch. Monkebou vices, anyone following up? LJ is into the corner! A goal has been waiting for LJ. You can sense he's got that killer instinct, and finally he successfully pulls the trigger. Top left was his, and this game may well be Rebellion's. The series, perhaps, about to be turned on its head. Shopify Rebellion, back on top, Nubon. He gets his catch in the corner, Monkebou in front of him, Can Nubog find him? Does he need to? Can he go so well? He gets the touch of a monkey, but he's not lying. He's okay, but he thinks about going for it. Nubog gets the bump as well. Nubog was heading back, shot by a belly at so close to their second game. Very free. 3v1, and Nubog does come out the better. Here in the boost is LJ. Who's giving weight in middle form? It's Kofa. Wait, he's just going for it on his own. Nubog's clear as long though. Two players from the left, chasing this one. Berskiller towards Kofa. Kofa currently at his joint best ever position at a land. and he wants to go further. He will feel that he can. Nubov off against Berskiller. Berskiller to the side, 45 left, shot by Rebellion, keeping such control of this one. The LJ's begging for a goal here. He retakes through, that's Kofo. Another chance for two dive on, and they can't be silly, as Monkeyman asks for the bat ball. Next to shoot is Nubov, the kind of foos to get on target. And right at this moment, Nubov has a real opportunity to take it, Kofo, maybe he can. He goes over to for Monkeyman's save by TRK. More opportunities coming through the woodwork as Monkebou controls, slows down the game momentarily, but rebellious, they need some speed. LJ, a couple of touches, it's all going to take you seconds away, TLC has the deep, and all LJ has to do is stay grounded. Charts in that back corner. One more chance, Monkebou, central, Numo, Brown Guard, corner ball, they did it for Eder. Are they able to do it this time? One more opportunity. It's Chris if I keep this ball up, Monkey Moon. He spoons it high, TRK after him. No moves to tool, is it gonna matter? All it was, I thought it was gonna be the end there, but it just about catches the lip of the wrap. Travel the corner, this one goes. Monkey Moon has to get this catch. They need this boot, they take this boot. It's still alive, you know. Monkey Moon is a reset. Anyone following up behind LJ? Forks into the corner, TRK. And so on, Shadrow up. And Schumann via rebellion. Do keep themselves alive. A well-managed game for a failure in the end. And LJ, I think, a clear turnaround in how he was positioning. The biggest issue for a million was that third man, said to gentlemen earlier, that third man sitting a bit too far back, and you then have one of the three players doing something incredible. They worked for an opportunity. The deep one, they beat two. Finally, who's shooting? Oh, it's nobody! He just goes straight back to the defense. And LJ, I loved where he was. His E-map, I swear to God, must have been just on the middle circle of that map. waiting and working, ready to punch anything. And Rebellion, oh sorry, Twisted Mines have taken a tactical timeout because that guy was so unlike them. The ball bouncing. LJ was halfway across the map when he thought, oh, I can go up for this one. It was like an old-school aerial, you know, you adjust yourself, you jump, you tilt, you go through it. Because he's thinking, oh, I thought a player would have gone for this ball by now. So Twisted Mines, everything going there, what happened there? And here's one of the key things I'll be talking about. That defensive mishap has been unlike them, you know, We've critiqued that defence, but it's been more misses. It's been flying past the ball. Not passively sitting on your goal line, wallable bounces in front of your goal. Very different. After this time out, we're going to be going to map 6. Now I hate to bring it up. What are you going to say, mate? I'm near Tokyo. That's not going to... What do you got? What do you got? Owie! Get me a red pad out! Page 36. Auckland! It's a tough map for North Americans general. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to all of you North Americans for what I'm about to say. But this has been an absolute nightmare map for NA historically. First-killer in particular, Grand Final. Absolutely slams its ceiling band that bound in the San Diego Major. Loses to Carmen Corbin. That one is a very tough map. No more memories on it. Again, one of those things that we were saying at the start of the series. Do they actually remember this or do we just keep bringing it up and they hate us for it? I don't know, but I think it's a very funny thing to keep talking about. What for chat to discuss? What for rocket league podcasts to discuss? Which of those key moments that for us as fans are so important in the fiber of Rocket League, in the fiber of RLCS, do they remember? You know, it was atomic like, was it me, the ball, and past me, did I sideflip? Maybe, maybe. And his teammates were like, yes, it wasn't me. Well, one times to zero. And two of these players are trying to get into that first ever grand finals. I also say that if Twisted Minds win here and Rebellion don't get any more points then NRG stay as the number one seed in North America going to the World Championship. If Rebellion win they will usurp them. They will become the number one seed. They need two more game wins to do it and Twisted Minds are after the second ever MENA victory at a major. Everything is on the line! The dice have been rolled. And now we have to see how they land. TRK will get this 100 moves fully, he will, but he's beaten to the ball by the first killer. He's got so much time in space. And don't forget, I'm coming onto this one, off the back of a twist of my time out. I saw how well the adjustment was taken by rebellion when they took theirs. It's been game changing day and night. Copa, central 2, FK. The 950, the ball, the question is still, Asked the twisted mind, how can you clear it? Oh, he's a cheat! He's chasing and he makes contact, but LJ, again, you clear it away. GLK, for that double, who's down next for it? It'll be a defender. Yeah, that was a great slip-free play there from LJ. He had to dodge one attack and somehow get the ball. That should avoid the grasp of twisted minds. Here is Nubo, and this man has got reach. He gets the 50-50. He comes to the GLK issue! Fix it! Anybody find him? This is the first kill against it away! I've seen these players stretched around the pitch from twisted minds football carries not work so far for new But you're getting challenged instantly and that is very good direction from the million keep new boys quiet as you can That's gonna reset corner foul takes it low. It's just a take out But the new bro new boy level or cerebral does read it I think rebellion will be happy with how this game has gone so far We'd have expected an onslaught from twisted minds after their tactical time out Don't see phase at all, monkey move. It's this catch. Pushing to the centre, TRK. It's the block. First, he's about to have a wave by Nubo. Nubo looks close like he's twisted might right now to me. Yeah, I think that... ...any of these errors that are coming in though, for a million, they're just waiting for one of the players to just take the pull by the horns and then, you know what? I can have a go on that. They just need a little bit more ambition, I think, with a couple of their players. Don't play from Nubo though, They're in high, a bit too much power, sends it into the ceiling. T.R.K. airs, draws 5 months, been on the left. 2-2 beat, first go for a breezy welcome to this major. He's sent to T.R.K. nobody, he wants to go solo himself, but very well read from the defensive elbow. It was sent forward once again, boosted us once again, doesn't even cover it, because they are still getting perfect touch and follow it through and get a 50-50 at the end of it. This is going to approach us halfway through the tightest of the series. I'm great at CRK! Who's there? I can't quite get there! I can't get there! No goal this fall from a billion! Not sure which defender it was, but it was tapped. Straight back towards the goal line. Another, you know, back wall attempt from Nubo. This time goes pass-up-way. A reception from Munchie Moon almost gives it entry into the orange net. Or Munchie Moon goes for double-buck. Doesn't get either of these. Now, first killer is through. Up against Nubo, just has to point the hook to the top of him. Can't quite do so, and Nubo took on fucking years of a player. He gets himself as up-dash. The first killer almost crossed TRK again. Natural play for Shuffler and Billion can't really get it towards the opponent's goal. They are at least getting control of the ball now. A goalless game after what has it felt like a bonanza for both of these teams. TRK needs to change that, lost in that instantly. Both were captured with a reset, but they could be caught out. TRK popping either. Nuba was not on the same page, he dives away. They go straight in towards them there. Kofa a save. It's becoming nervy. Yeah, the scariest moment so far back with Shookfire and Bayley and they came up a dunk, monkeying up against LJ. TRK has control of this one, great one! He's the one who gets first killer! Hello, TRK is back next for some reason, I was to let him nubo, but it's not quite lost. I didn't love it, I thought that TRK really could have just carried a gun for that ball, but I can only assume that Nubo calls him off, because of the very awkward, standard offense to Tristan Mines. Completely unlike the Nubo though, nice and simple, it sets the double, ducks it low, and a save! Incredible offensive there from Shumfire Rebellion. Seen through all the world that was going to be the moment, but still we continue at 0-0. Monkey Moon. Purs it into the centre. First killer was next up. Confer, he takes control. Monkey Moon is up. Has to get the touch. Confer moves up and down to him. All three twisted by players called in. The shot goes for the shot once. All three registry a shot on the scoreboard at the same time as well. Final 50. Confer, he leads the charge. Shumfire Rebellion. They have one more gold left in them in this series. They can't concede it. First get up to the backboard. He tries to pitch it across. He does pitch it across. Nubal and Kofu are tilted at 50-50. Nubal to the get with no boost. TRK has built no boost. He's giving a story. Monkey name on the dance center. TRK, wait! Shoot! Save! But the attack continues. Kofu is high, all we can do is play relatively passively. Get that ball as far forward as they can. Monkey dude has a hundred boost. TRK, barely anything of his type. I'm gonna still get the box on, LJ. See, okay, big album's coming through, but two defenders do keep it safe. Final 10 seconds of Kuzma in the middle. Mugman waits on the boost, needs something to score, and it's show! Burst it out! Break the game on! Neotokia Demons may not be banished with the accuracy and the intent of one of North America's greatest. Farskiller snucked it into the corner and now six seconds left, can't they hold? Move on, that's the hundred, has to go from end to end, CRK tries to clear up half of his paw, goes for the bump, it's dead, Malkiva in catches, Malkiva in dropsits and Farskiller stumpy. What a story from him in particular. Gets the goal to secure a game seven And what we were saying in two games in, though like it was near enough time, his story has not yet been fully written. And history may well be made. On the side of rebellion, two players who have come so close to winning RLCS majors. First killer, two times second place. One time, second place, quick first killer, joined by Krullsper, attempting to get further into a major that he ever has before. And Twisted Minds, I mean, the stories on that team are incredible, the history of that team is incredible. Monkeyman attempting just to get into that final to get his fourth RLCS title. Nouveau has already broken those demons to get through into the semi-final, but he's won on the RLCS April 4th in the 1v1 event at the World Championship. Until our game is lifted and made to show you that what he wouldn't give to just one more right before the world championship, before that big one. One more game separates these two teams. Game 7 on Champions Field at the Paris Major. Shot by Rebellion taking on Twisted Minds who has the medal to send themselves into the grand final. At the top of the show, a beg for a game 7. Shadby and Spield hasn't let us down. Here's Monkey Moon. All together, Reza into the corner, nearly there. The first three in the test comes with twisted mines and this attack will continue. TRK underneath this one. Two players in this lobby already making brave new ground in semi-finals. And it's one of the move-up, the almost scores. And you see, Monkey Moon diving across. They are wrestling for as much possession as they can. Monkey Moon has let those years free. He jumps. But again, LJ is going to be able to save it away, nearly bounces it around, but Koufa, almost that silent player on this team, not in a bad way, it's just that he is going about everything that he needs to do, but if he's behind the pitch, and it puts him right out there, way, this story, it's already written, puts his mind, take that lead, it was a more great one from Nubo, one of our up and coming geniuses in the Rocket League world, gets the The demo gets TRK roaring once again. Rebellion have fought back from these spots but the first ball going in favor of Rebellion that is not going to be making him feel too confident. They see how many they can sink. It was self-detail from the angle that we had but they've seen that TRK giving him a bit more aggressive and confident in that shot. Shot by Rebellion won't care one shot, they stay in him as poor they're from LG, he's missed it. Hopefully they're in the corner. It's a very navigate set, but Muckin' punches it backwards to TRK. Very bad pass. You expect a couple of mistakes at this point? Bad pass mate, no you're on a mount. Nubo, sending it high, right outside for Hitchick. TRK is lurking, wait in! It's there to sink it! He's Nubo! He's no longer New Blood! The known quantity, the 1v1 World Champion! Follows up TRK's touch! The two Saudi Arabian superstars combining once again, giving twisted minds a lead that's so close to unassailable. To our game central, on target, Merskinam wanting to get his third win in a row against Munkimoo. Continuing that winning streak, what a target would be. Great demo from one of my low boosts, Merskinam. Munkimoo waits and out of chain, pushing a little bit too far forward. Nerves of steel from Munkimoo in there, just waits. Caps on his guard line! Where are you going to put this ball? I will be there to block it! Can he do it again? Cooper over there to... GOK out wide! When his next three minutes are going to be extremely nerve-wracking, two goals to bring back, but willingness struggle to bring that ball to one really in any given game. But it is not done. First killer, with a reacher, sees onto his side, goes for a bump himself, so well orchestrated, but a clanking monkey moon, sends a triangle down the stairs. Yeah, Monkeyman nipping in now, all importantly. The Frenchman, the hero of this lobby in this arena, Monkeyman watches on against Kofa. Into the sky, it goes, Kofa into the middle. Does he have a teammate following up? He does, it's Vercula. TRK meets that one. Nubo needs this boost and gets it, but LJ will still have control of the ball. But it's a heavy touch, it's a tired touch. If Nubo can get a couple of touches in the air. Halfway through in game 7, but TRK attempting to beat Kofa. He does so much, we're all through in the corner. Another pass, but no problem. A ground pitch. That, my friends, is trust. Push it to the air there. Kota has to leave this one. TRK will get it clean. Kota. forwards. Monkey been waiting on the side. A couple of minutes left in this game. Shot fire of Belian, feeling yet another semi-final. Slip between their fingers. There's still time for them to change it. Kota wants to get the reset instead. Pushes it out wide. Does he have a follow-up? He does it again. And another attack goes begging for a Belian. Nuba now. To the ceiling, but it should be cleared. They've twisted minds, they know this, they can just hold out, keep the possession as they are so happy to do, as they are so prepared to keep diving on the ball. They will be in a good spot! And the ball may well secure it! And a home goal for a belly-in! It goes down to TRK, but that is a disaster from LJ. As TRK finds his beat, his team find their voice once again. Twisted Minds now. Unbelievablely close, but Comfort has to go almost gets it past TRK who does not let him through. He had them all but no boost, Mubo needs to try and get something central, he doesn't wait! Twisted Minds aims for the stars and landed on Monkibo. The French Goats, the Broccoli Goats, if you ask some, came to this team on the back of his worst ever season. Well, look at it now. Look at Champions' Field Flag. He's on that multiple times. Four to the good for Twisted. A statement in game seven. The body will consider themselves not get out. For 80 seconds, it is going to be a mammoth of a task. C.R.K. Keeping possession at buzz as he can. Can any of these seconds continue warring down LJ? Wilder target, Tope is there to get it back on target. Drops it, bit of a first go, not on a free sky for the ball. It's a fireball, he'll get themselves back into this one. It'll be one of the great Rocket League comebacks of all time. And if they are, it has to start right now. LJ, the ball comes up, and aggressive freedom has gone to me, but he can't quite connect. Makes a bit of contact, but not as much as he needed. 50 to go. That's all that separates T.M. from this final. TRK on target, nearly monkey moon again. What a duo! Yeah, it seemed like this one's gonna be done. Twisted Minds can't quite put the controllers down just yet, but it will feel good that FizzyWater worked truly on Ice. With 30, Twisted Minds will be thinking there is a chance here. They're in a block 10, 99% of the time. They'll still be going through to the finals. They will be able to compete for Nina's second ever major title. Will it be another one for Monkey Moon? It's a time for a garbage goal for Rebellion. It's a shame that one didn't come earlier, Cole. Because it could have felt like this game could have turned, but Twisted Mind are locked in. I believe so, yes. Shumfire Rebellion, credit to them. It's been a brilliant performance. They beat Twisted Minds. A few days ago in their group, they came through it in the top of Group C, into the upper bracket, Beat Man City, but did not have enough in the end. It belongs to Twisted! There's that! Twisted minds at Veno. Their story is not yet complete. It continues to be written. It's in the stones of Rocket League history. Can Monkey Moon get another Lang title? Will TRK get his second? Will we see Nubo succeed again on this stage for the first time in 3v3? Tristan Lines! Welcome to the Grand Final in Paris! Rebellion gave us the series we wanted and deserved. We've had to have a fight. It had to be tough for Monkey Moon, for all he's achieved, it's really easy. There's those games where everything falls his way, but this is the man that can fight. This is the man that stands up and the chips are down. And of course there is great respect between these two teams. We've seen some fiery handshakes. This is one between two competitors who left nothing on the field. I mean that was so well wrestled back though from rebellion. I'm incredibly happy that they managed to give themselves proud in that series despite their very shaky start. Yeah, I agree. It was looking for a time. I get just here, Twisted Is that what first gonna sink you right now? He's thinking, ah, but... You know, I've still got the all-time record, fellas. Mr. Trophy's over here. I mean, that was so well wrestled back, though, from rebellion. I'm incredibly happy that they've managed to... Have you ever felt proud in that series, despite their very shaky style? Yeah, I agree. It was looking for a time, like, you know, just to get Twisted Minds for session. We didn't want that. We didn't deserve or need that. Twisted Minds, I think they would have preferred that. They've still got a grand final to look forward to against Colony, Gopal, Team Vitality, you know, they've had to fight to be here and they have. We've spoken his name a lot so far throughout that series, and I'd love to hear what he has to say. Leaf is on the stage with Monkey. Paris, how we've been on about twisted minds and Monkey... MOAN! I Scalled out there a little bit of a bite back from Shopify rebellion But you have been on a fire ever since world's was announced at Dickies I have to ask because I know we joke about it, but it seems like you've been inspired with I think six or seven wins in a row now Is that the truth or what's been unlocked in you? He asks you a question, because since the Worlds were announced in a certain arena that you know well, he asks if it has triggered something in you, because for the moment on stage, even if Shopee Fire Rebellion is a little rebellious at the end, you were still very dominant. I think it's nothing to do with the Diki Arena, even if I'm very happy to be there because it's a bit of my stat now, but I'm very happy to come back to the Major's Fnatic, it was a long time ago, and then I hope we'll go get the title. We're going to look for them. What happened against Shopify? You lost them in front of a group. What is the difference between what happened in GroupsFage and what happened there? What are your thoughts on North America? What is your mistake? We haven't changed a lot. I think we played our game now. It was a bit more complicated because the first games were very complicated. The time to enter the game, the time to solve the problems. And then North America is going to be more complicated now. They were quick to get out of the tournament. So we were doing better, because now we have a European team in the final, at least. And then, well, less French in the final as well. So you just managed some problems and now they are on their peak for the grand finals. Yeah, I mean the momentum has projected you guys right to the finish line here, but of course there's a little bit more to go on the other side. You're going to have an opponent to face. You don't get a free win. It's a big matchup. Vitality, K-Corp, I want to give you a little bit of an analyst hat right now. Who do you think is facing you and maybe what do you want on that side because I don't even know what I want to see in the end. You just said that you're going to play against a formidable opponent, it's not going to be a free match. We're both going to be a little bit of an analyst. If you analyze it, who's going to win between Karmine and Vitality? I'm not going to say who's going to win, but my heart is a little bit more towards Vitality, because it's my old structure. Twisted Mines will play to the title of Paris Major Champion. Only three times in history has a team not, excuse me, four times in history has a team not from NA or EU made it to the grand finals of an RLCS Major. Every single time it has been from the MENA region. Monkey Moon somehow, like what, four separate times now? Like he has Peaks Valley, his Peaks Valley, his Peaks is getting through a grand final and becoming a champion. I mean, this is unlike any other player we've ever seen in Rocket League history. His ability to get to this point, it's incredible. CJ, what happened? I mean, I feel like it started as a bit of a joke. The fact that we announced, Tiki's a randomly announced, the world championship, so Monkey just goes on a winning spree, but it's getting real, really quick. I mean, Shopify, they took it in the distance. It was looking like maybe a full one twisted along the way, but they kept scrapping Shopify. They fought their way to a game seven. They did get to game seven. We saw a champ field and then we saw a monkey and they just get to work. Now we're on the field. And then the first shot of champs field is the camera showing Monkeyman's name hanging out once, but twice in the rafters and just put some aura in it. And I will say the memes, and there's been a meme of fourth killer for so long. Unfortunately, he now has finished fourth five times is the only player in RLC's history to have finished at a land five times in the top four. I feel like I got punched, because I'll be honest, First Killer did what more does First Killer have to do to get over this hole. He literally did everything. Even biggest Neo Tokyo demons. Did you see that shot he put in on Neo Tokyo? I thought the script was in the heavens for him right there. I thought there was no way they were losing Champions Field. I'm going to take the positive and the Shopify side of things is West State We saw a top six in Boston, we saw a top four here, they got mobbed by Falcons in Boston and that is one of that top six match. They now take Twisted Minds to seven, who look like a Falcons of old right here. They're looking incredible. They're through to the grand final. The first group you see, Godo, Briss, game six demons, that's another tick in the box. They can look for some more championships now. The playstyle switch has been great and I still don't think it was their best series shot. It was, it was messy. You were saying to T-Bates, like there were times where he felt like they could have shot and they were overthinking, you know, look at the control of the ball instead. Perhaps getting in their own heads a little bit. I think there's still a lot of positive to take out of this Yeah, there's some positive. I mean you make it our way here going to game seven. That is a tough game End of its own self play overall. Yeah, I'll shot 30 times in seven games overall, and now Yeah, the best offense in the world right here I mean I thought it was the best offense but the story of the game and I was just talking about me as well And we're watching it is the positioning of shot by rebellion versus TM. Oh, it's 37% of time farthest away from the ball. All TM, they average by 33%. 37 is a big jump. TM picked up 400 more moves from the whole entire series. You gotta play tighter. There's a beat down to these best games. If you compare that to Monkey Moon, he's probably 2% away from the ball the whole game. That guy just leaves something to think. They didn't have a strong choice. Monkey Moon's gameplay is just so simple. And it's like, you know what he's gonna do on the ball. He's just gonna shoot the ball on net. And he does it every time. There was one what he shot from his own third. And two defenders from from rebellion. We're sitting like near the wall when the ball gets centered. Like, how are we not accounting for most people just shooting the ball? And he gets away with it every time. And it comes down to his ball hard and win games. That's exactly what's him like to do. Eventually both of these goals, they're just hitting the ball super hard, head shot by a billionaire in the fracking. What I love about Twisted is they stretch the defense. You always have a, you know, a TRK in Alparo, a long-term seeding downfield. So that third man, he doesn't want to push up because he knows he's got someone from Twisted behind them. The clear can come through. I mean, just the way that when you're on offense, You still want to worry about the counter-attack of Twisted, so it was just a shop of my kind of playing that teasing distance. Do I want to push up? Do I not? Game 7, they get exposed. They keep a few duty, too many players from post, and as you said, T-Day, she's got outshot, completely outshot throughout that series. You asked what does FK need to do to get through? I think he needs to team up with some French players. FK? Maybe, yeah, I mean, jeez. I mean, I think N.A. I was going to say, like, what do you mean? He couldn't have done any more in that series. I just think and I need to just go back and really watch the replays learn that these teams are winning because they're shooting the ball a lot. Everybody has the mechanics nowadays, but now somebody needs to be able to shoot the ball. LJ, you have your opportunities. Take some shots. Okay, take some pop shots. Just make the net. Have the work. Make the opposition have to use some boost and it might put you in a good chance of winning. Twisted Mines was shooting the ball very well. I'm curious to see if that's part of James' Telestration Station here. James, what you got for us? So, I think this is a great example of how Twisted Mines neutralized First Killer in the early part of the series. FK and Rebellion just couldn't get going quickly out of the gate, and it was too big of a hole for them to get themselves out of. But this play is a great example. This is the fifth goal in Game 2. So this is pure domination, but this is just showing you how they were able to neutralize First Killer. Monkey Moon, he's so far ahead of the play than First Killer. First Killer finds himself in No Man's Land and has to turn back. But watch how well Twisted Minds will crush these 50s. First Killer thinks that he's out of it right now, but no. Noobo over here gets a 50 that's going on net and makes LJ panic. First Killer out of boost, Monkey Moon out of boost. This is going to be a race to the corner and watch how well Monkey Moon does in this situation. Not only is he going to get to this mid boost first and keep First Killer boost start, he's going to get a touch on the ball that makes life miserable for Rebellion. first killer low boost or a zero boost keep an eye on who's boost total as this play progresses. So now go for it get to hit forward but jrk pushes it to the side monkey moon all boosted up it's going to be able to turn on this ball now monkey moon has the defense right where he wants him first killer still on empty first killer has nothing he's trying to get away but now another 50 from monkey moon into open space there is nobody from rebellion anywhere close to this First ball, LJ's first killer, still low boost. Where's first killer's boost? Is he getting small pads? No, they're all gone. Finally, he gets a pair of small pads, but it's just too little, too late. Nubo with a full tank of boost is gonna come in, crush another 50 to the backboard, and he's not gonna be done yet. After getting this 50 to the backboard, instantly in demo chase mode, LJ thinks first killer's gonna get it, but little does he know that Nubo has first killer in his sights. on the run running away and now look at this gap opened up for TRK a wide open net to shoot on he knocks that through Rebellion being dominated in the early part of this series and they just couldn't recover my goodness I just feel like that was an example of like first killer needed a little bit of help In that situation where LG is coming in I like what new post right there like he can see new po He has to know first killers in danger there. Where's the communication in that thing in that scenario LJ is responsible for bailing 1st killer out in that in that situation like the 50 in front of the third that happens Whatever, but like that's that's a situation that could have been prevented It's a low boost like that made first-killer offer there and that's Monument He has to be the best second man in Rockaway It was a touch against general mates that set up the shot as well to secure that series in game six That's right. He just cuts everything off. He gives you nothing on the ball Our first champions field though of the best of sevens sends a team through to the finals top two finish guaranteed for Twisted Minds and the Middle East can they make it top one we do not know who they're going to play against yet though they have calming core or vitality a clash of the best of France it's going to be fantastic but before that thanks we have some question marks between these but that's literally what's next on the schedule is question marks I'm sure we've got We got some question marks. I wonder what that could be. I don't really want to know. I'll preview. Where is Gibbs? Where is Gibbs? I don't know. Gibbs told me I had to come up here, and I don't understand what's happening. So Gibbs is in on it, huh? OK, OK. We'll see here, folks. We're about to find out the thing we've all been talking about across the entire Rockley community. But we want to take a quick break. When we come back, folks, the big announcement everyone's been waiting for. don't go anywhere you won't want to miss it.

Welcome to the end of the fight. 3, 2, 1, go! 18 years ago, we downloaded a game called Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle Cars. And so a few of us played it, but the ones that did, we fell in love. Then, 11 years ago, Rocket League came out, and suddenly, everybody knew. And this game blew up, this E4 blew up. What a ride. Remember? It went to London. Justin scored that zero second goal and I was like, this is Rocket League! And that's what it's all about. The big moments in this eSport have always been monumentous. From a forum of 30 people to an arena of thousands, it's been unbelievable. It's been an amazing decade of Rocket League. But we're here to talk about the future of Rocket League, the next 10 years. It's finally time to find out. But we need the help of each and every one of you to help bring in the next stage. From the first time we went Super Sonic, to right here, right now, it's fitting that And at the largest celebration of our game, in front of the greatest fans in the world, we celebrate that history. To all of our friends here in Paris, and those watching all around the world, this is the future, and this is... Come on! Come on! Come on! I I'm like shaking. Oh my god. This means so Did you see the gleam on the Mike? Did you see the skyline? Did you see how beautiful that was a beautiful mechanical I don't think anyone on the plane is 6 No one expected 6 did you? I thought you were going to be talking to the most, you guys don't understand, okay? Everyone's like, no one's saying anything, okay, but I knew that other people knew, okay? You knew, you knew, I think you knew, I don't know, you didn't know, I don't know, you didn't know. And I'm sitting here like, I couldn't sleep last night, I was trying to beat the information out of kids, but he got us to your defense, I couldn't beat anything out of kids. He wouldn't give me nothing. That's giving me like the cake. I just don't like that. What Gip says, 10 more years of the greatest baseball in the world. Oh, you heard that, didn't you? They're all good league. 10 more years. What's that mean? 10 more years. Give us 10 more years. I literally got chills. I'm literally wearing as much clothes as possible to the form. And I am lit. First of all, these are absolutely gorgeous. You have to reflect on them. It's like engine upgrade and going into the modern era of gaming and everything. It can be so easy to lose the aesthetic and lose like like the theme of what Rocket League is but like it just looks like Rocket League upgraded. If I didn't see a wall of W's across every stream across every social channel, I don't know what. This is ridiculous. This is unbelievable. The weirdest part of the League of Legends has been like the tweets went out and then watching everybody speculate, watching everybody speculate. And to know that like the thing that was like it will never be this, it actually was. It was this. It was this. Everybody was saying it wasn't going to be that. It was better than that. You're right. It was better than that. No one expected that. I mean I came into this one as a content creator at first. I was just a fan spectating in Vegas. I had no idea what anything was. And then as I was learning the game and you guys have taught me what, you know, Unreal Engine was in general. What it means in the game and the physics and the mechanics and everything. to skip five and go to six was not even a thought that crossed my mind. I mean, I mean, we all got into this because we genuinely loved the game. The speech that Gibson Chogan made, we all could have made about Rocket League. None of us were cast this because we thought there was glory in it. We were all here because we just loved the game itself, and that is why it is here now. Here's the thing that's crazy to me too, because like when Unreal Engine 5 came out, like two huge technologies that were released with it, like Nanite and Lumen, Which was lighting technology and polygons and all that I don't need to speak French to know he just said folks, but we are excited for this. We are also excited to crown a Paris major champion. I'm not going to bow that. We got time because somehow, someway, serendipitously, we have one of the greatest Rocket League matches of all time to follow that announcement. We don't script these brackets. I'm just going to pull a little bit out of the back, so we never have actually scripted it. We did because we've got Carmen Corp playing Vitality right now. One of the greatest matches of Rocket League history was back in 2023, Dusseldorf, the world championship. Carmen Corp versus Vitality at the blue wall on one end. You have to swarm on the other end. That's right. He won. He won. He won. He won. He won. He passed reality to us. He won. He won. He won. The reality better could make it to the grand final. We got the best pub. We got the grandest roguelike player of all time in the grand final. That's right. He's waiting for it again. Listen, the last part is like the same story because, listen, He didn't win last time, but Zen, the newcomer, he came through. It was a big match for Vatera, he wanted to make the Grand Finals too. But listen, there's a difference though now. We're the major, we got a world championship. Vatera's got three of them already. He's looking for number four. Perk, we either get Monkey Moon, Vatera, or Zen as Paris major shape. Oh my gosh, like truly, like we were saying, you cannot strip this. This has fallen into arguably the greatest major of all time for RLE sports. Currently there's we got another 10 years to make up more storylines now, but my gosh I might stop hey, we said the French teams were cursed in France The French winner no matter what so true, but hey, hey the Middle East has something to say about it as well TRK has won a major. He's looking to make it a second. No, but he's still reigning Defending Rockley 1v1 champion of the world, but 3v3 man This is the heart and the beating soul of what Rocket League is you know He wants a trophy in this format man You know first of all Zen versus Mathieu got to be like Tom Brady versus Peyton Manic back in the day I don't know that's not good for one person It was fun. It was fun. I'll say that keep going. Keep going. You're right. I think Mathieu is Tom Brady right now, but Zen has been incredible this tournament. He is going on the run that I remember the whole way back. Boston, the first time around, and just might do something like he did in 2023, but he burst onto the scene. He looks that good right now. And not just that, but Stizzy. Have you seen Stizzy on this tournament? But they didn't lose in Boston. They've already lost once in the upper bracket. Camps on that, though? Different story, man. It's always a different story on Sundays. Zen thrives on it. Monkey Moon thrives on it. And so does Vitira. We are about to get the most top tier version of both of these teams from the repository. Well, and the question is always how do people wake up on championship Sunday? We've seen every team in the tournament play today, except for Carmen Corp. How did they wake up today? What, how, what gear are they in? Vitality's already looked very strong. Does Carmen Corp match their energy? You know, when I got to the venue today, I went down to catering, K-Corp, coach, players, everybody, all together, Eden was quiet. They were locked in. I saw it. I think they're gonna be fully prepared for today. We saw in the previous semifinal, they shopper-fied. They took a few games to get rolling. It did eventually go seven, but twisted with that extra series under their belt with huge convitality. At least get the jump on KC. Your idea, Bates? Yeah, we did. It's not five or billion. And Carmen, corporate, two complete. Oh, yeah. I don't think that's really a fair comparison. The reason Batero's got three of them. Come on now. And he's got an EWC too. Ahto's got one. One with an EWC as well. Juicy, the major champion too. I mean, there's a lot of hardware over there on a cake or fair enough, our brilliant didn't happen. Hey, but there's one thing they don't have. If I tell you, he's got two of them, that's world championships. You want to get the hardware. It kind of goes blow for blow between Vitality and Carmencourt. And then listen, last five times he's seen to play cake or they dominated a matchup. They won four of them. The last time the team played cake or still got the one two cake or still got the one two. Vitality got a couple of vitality to get him in Boston. So four out of the last five, cake or is one but has one went in the past two. And it was like a 13-0 streak. Good KC. That's right. Vitality eventually rewrote history. I think they're going to need to do it again. It's going to be a massive series for them. I think the thing is, is like, we've had, we talked about this with a lot of different teams who got to play during the day. It doesn't matter how good that other team looks. Like if they were sitting on that hot team, they take the stage. They've already built the confidence. The hands are wide. And just put away, like, exotic looks. Like, you see, exotics go earlier. Shoo! I've been talking about before. He's getting sick on the sticks right now. Exotic has always kind of been the sleeper pick in the fact that Exotic has been front running for vitality. It shows you, this is a whole other version. Dizzy doesn't even look like a newcomer anymore. He looks like the top tier version of a team but then would want to be alive. CJ, who's the favorite in the crowd right now? Who's the groupie? Is it going to be Call Me Corp or is it going to be Vital? I think KC might have been on this one, Vitality could have the passion. and y'all look y'all don't speak for us otherwise I'll be in a nice bowl right now I don't have a part on that There's a lot of psychology fans on this side too I see them I see their shirts I mean the blue wall they feel kind of They're far from us, but they're near each other That's why it really matters and I think the Golden Warrants might be slightly stronger and number here today But the big X-Factor for me as far as the crowd goes is where the gentleman's fans decide to That's true. Who did it dislike more? I think it went to that monkey man grandpa and they'll be gone for him no matter what, whoever went out of this match. But I love the fact that for these two teams, it's been a flip of the script. Online Vitality came in as the EU number one seed, KC came in as the EU four seed in the same group. KC go three and they were out of form before this Paris Major. KC then beat Vitality again. They're looking fantastic. They really are, man. This has to be... Shopper fight, we're going to twist the minds, I mean, there's no way this one doesn't go seven somehow. Oh man, that's definitely the way because it just seems like the both teams are on one team this ends up winning more games and we go to like game six or game five. Like you see something great, like yesterday we went game five. Jill Mates vs. Carmencourt. That was the best series of the tournament, masturbation. Both teams were truly clicking and firing on all cylinders, but hopefully then the matter for Carmen, which is that much a little bit better than the clutch moment. You saw how great the tier was in those moments and today I'm in the tier. He's trying to go number one at all times in a lot of things. Oh, man, it's crazy. That was like a goal yesterday, which wouldn't surprise me. Like you said, three times already, Batira, one of the greatest players we've ever seen, and playing at his peak right now. So I'm going to pick, I'm going to mention his name. Also has been clicking. But that duo has been leafing. He's actually been quiet as any online. He has been quiet. He's stepped back a little bit. But when he's online, and Batira's online, it's probably the best one to punch him wrongly. My I have been sitting here thinking up every scornario the idea of Zen and Monkey Moon meeting up the idea of a cheer and Monkey Moon meeting up I feel like my head's gonna explode. Well, we don't have to think about it anymore. The players already it's time to kick off your second Mera! Let's go, world! Party! For! He's been playing with Batz, he's been a Batz coach, and he's on our play now. And there's looking at great at the moment, Dormin. But here it's just more of a blast to the entire arena. Hands in the pocket, stone cold face towards the camera. This man is ready. I mean, there's been questions around easy up there with the greatest players in Rocket League. The greatest of all time. It's just that low championship victory. As you said, he looks set to take out Paris away. He's playing though. And then listen, the man in the middle. That was what I thought. Captain of France, man, playing one of his fastest disco lands ever. Number one in goals, number three in score, number one in save, first game. Number three in shots, number seven in shooter presentation. Number six in goal participation. But Terra is not playing around. There is one person that has more than him in that monkey moon, that three next to him, but an absolute prince of Rocket League sitting on the end share. This entire team's stone cold, ready to go. You see, he has been doubted a little bit, but I think in this particular season, this is the cleanest and strongest the three of them combined have ever looked. And a El Clasico match, you gotta have two sides of it, one side of this one is blue, the other one is gold. And introducing their opponents, on the inside! They're back to win the run at their nemesis. Once again, they are the golden swarm! They are the phoenix heavenly! The world they sure do have the best player in the game and listen He's got the one thing for two doesn't have a world champion should be chicken from a junior unit It looks like army was gonna take it Champion It is feeling like do so far again, I could barely hear myself up here I mean you just don't get much better than this is the main card over here in the semifinal I can't for reasons that are unspoken the reason that we don't need to explain an XO in the middle he was playing with a tier of back end Deuzerthorpe he didn't get the job done then and he wouldn't go and be the a good join lucky boy got an all world champion these boys are friends man, they're special this Vitality roster has seen what the finish line looks like the only person that hasn't done it yet is Stizzy and him getting brought over from Dignos true Vitality a very special calculated pick up to this roster. You know, this person now to go down is going down in history. He's gotten close, two separate times. In that last time when he was on Digiton, in Rodney, he doesn't even look like that player anymore. He is on a completely different level. This vitality roster is elevated with him a lot. That's the upgrade they wanted to make. They wouldn't want more ball plays. They weren't getting it from Marky Moon Cross. I'm putting him a little bit more. He's got your pit bull down that way in the bottom. It's easy. He looks fantastic. And you mentioned this crowd wave. I think it's a 50-50 split. I can't help thinking there's a lot of lines out there. It's hard to know. You know what I'm thinking about Stizzy as well now. And I do wonder how he's got to strike. How he can put you over that side. And the matchup we all care about really. Matira versus Zed. You're saying you just 50-50. They're cheering for the LPL. They're just left-move for the LPL. They're with the Saudi Arabia. They're each in addition for France on the same team. And of course, quite nice to head the head for a reason here. As you got a material on the left, sit on the right, look at the numbers. These boys don't play CJ. I mean, this is the matchup. This is the head-to-head that we wanted on the biggest stage in front of the biggest crowd we've ever had in our Esports. What a ridiculous matchup, Javi. 500 score game is just absolutely ridiculous stuff from both of these guys and man This beats any UFC main card. I've never seen this Okay, the last undercard before the man I mean that's just crazy to me Thanos is still waiting. You're right. They always meet here though It's all that is in top four. They somehow always are the same side of the bracket It's kind of racist look at the brackets it was like what if it's group seeing group a were clearly the groups of death You're the number one and number two seed out of group A and one semi-final. The number one and number two seed of group C and the other semi-final. It's like group B and D didn't even show up. Yeah, I mean, you mentioned them all always been here though. But if anyone has watched Rocket League for more than a couple of seasons, you know that the semi-final could sometimes be the real grand final. This is going to be huge. This is insane. I've been going back and forth on it. I mean, you looked even at the walkout comparison, right? The blue wall comes in completely stone cold. Then it's coming into it like, this is home. that you're coming to my house to come and play this time. And Matira's like, I'm just going to take it away from you. I'm going to claim it as my own. So this is not only a battle of game, a strength. It's also a battle of ego. Who's is the bigger one and most composed? Now, Matira, it wasn't too long ago that Matira was talking and talking. A lot of people didn't like that. But then he started walking the walk on top of it. And he's running every single step he's taking. I like it. Which ego is bigger? Who wants it more, but is able to contain that desire and still play their game? And then there's the home crowd question, that French crowd that Betzira has fallen in front of before, but I think there was a moment yesterday in that upper bracket scoring that 0-2 winner. And just the emotion on his place, staring down, gentlemen, the reigning major champs. I think that was a trial by five for Betzira. He's ready to announce himself a champ. He's ready, man. He's got to get past Little Bro. Little Bro's always on there. Seven finals, two equal teams, two equal players. It all comes down to the first day. He's got a bigger ego. He's going to make the play happen. Torpy, you were on the call last time. And went reality to his room. He's with the equal. The tear is going to be out of that room. But he doesn't give a shit. They're both, they're both reality. Is that what you want me to say? No, I'm just going to say, it's like two black holes marching. Like, the tear is just an absolute explosion. The tear is so consistent. He's been on the stage and won the whole thing three times. And yet this is still the age of Zen and it just could not be a bigger rivalry a better matchup Let us know who you think is going to win at home My gosh, okay, my head Feels for the blue wall. This is the best material at town I just have looked when my heart has always been with Zen and Vitality I love the romance of Rocket League It's sometimes his whole thing just feels scripted like we're in a movie and there's one man in the grand final waiting the greatest player of all time I think he's went for a rain match with these old same botality. I'll go botality winning as well Not what I expected when we got to me about one person would at least be a pick a corporate look I've casted last the last two matches then has played Nobody's beating him today. Give me my talent Give me the squad! He's got a second date with Monkey Moon! Got a second date with Monkey Moon. He's formed a teammate. Listen, this time, I said little. I don't need to say much. And I got my second love in Rocket League, and it's called this team right here. The little one is taking it home, baby! Come on! It's hard when the teams are playing this good to pick between them. Well, there's been two matches in Paris that we would all, I think, agree for the best matches of the tournament. of the tournament. One, Carmencourt versus the gentlemate in the bracket and Carmencourt took it down. Carmencourt versus Vitalik in the group stage and Carmencourt took it down. The suits blue. I gotta be going with them. Whoa. The We're split on the desk can they fully balance us out it's coming down Three on the desk chat the ultimate decider here Is the check is the building is 50 Monkeyman's waiting. He's sitting up there in the rafters looking down He does TRK's up there too. It's the same thing as through school He was waiting last time. He's ain't got the better of a chair this time last time but this time It's gonna be a little different. It's time to get to the main thing. Here we go, folks We argue and debate so much in this game priority is France. The blue wall has never been stronger. Their voices ring in the raptors and yet the swan has three of the fiercest hornets ever to fly. It's Legion versus Legion. It's France versus French. It's the Tyra versus Zeng. Army Colors versus Vitality. Game 1, and a can't name a more fitting atmosphere. What a moment we have experienced here in Lodges, Arts Arena. And then you follow it off with a matchup for the agents. I mean, except the tone here is going to be crucial. Look at these two teams. This building is going to be electric no matter what. Come on, McCormick. They've been super solid with the presence of people. Vitality has been always their test. It's Vatira ready to finally get one last chance. There's a palpable buzz still throughout the arena. Vatira brings us through the corner. Easily stopped by Stizzy and Juicy trying to pull the string on him a little bit, slung everything down, not having any of it. It's Team Vitality not giving coming forth Many times to breathe. Look at that. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. We can potentially see a lot. He's a lot dizzy. Two feet. Great 50. He's going to try to hold down Zinn. But look at Zinn. Control. Foreclosure. Going to be key here on this matchup for both. As Zinn, which went back into the midfield, vitality has been a very solid team of the forces of it. But again, that group stage loss to Carmencourt is one that they're going to look to turn around. All eyes on this man. Sand almost put a signature stamp on this semi-final. Still plenty of time to go as Jucy! He's got a lot of sense immediately! And whatever punch you should expect, the counterpunch. But here, see, is he awkward? Slanted up the back wall in one shot with Jucy. Vitality, issue the challenge. Carmine answers. Punch, counterpunch. Expect a lot of it here in Lodic, on Serena Zen, double tap, denied, follow again, this time exotic, stopped by Vitira. Zen will go to work again, all on his own, averaging over 500 score for a game, not one first wide by exotic, and the blue wall breaks out. Crazy, Zinch, he has to be controlled this one, plays a high, just being such a key factor in this first game, getting this ball field and he's putting everything towards the men. He's not exactly following up. Just one look at that, trying to get the pass there. He's got it, was sticky, but Batira gives him the ability to come out. He's got such great awareness to start this game off. It's a big key, but there's still a deadlock between the two right now. Vitality controlling the pressure. Sticky wanted to bump on Juicy, but Juicy's able to deny it and now he'll control the ball as he wants to pass and he's on the field. This force to switch fields, hits along the ceiling, the Tira will boom down field, the edge is coming back, with no immediate pressure coming off of that flight. That's a great job by Zen, getting as big as possible against Ato, now exotic, around one, Stizzy to reframe the lead, no, and Zen, up just a little too late to do anything of substance you'll leave it for exotic and after all we'll kill off the attack watch the demos here in this series Vitality when they went over KC on land They have a noticeable amount of demos almost extra demo more compared to a free series They lost long ride seems being more physical see the combat vitality in this moment right up on the court They've done such a great job because playing this team to have strong demo performances And they've actually been the ones who've been the aggressor over the course of this tournament leading in that digital category. We'll clinch now with the final 90 of Game 1, if anybody. Batira's gonna run out of juice here, exotic senses it. Got a little help from Ato. And now Batira with nothing of attack, has to watch Juicy take over. Zen all the way at the back. Well, he has never had any shortage to boost this entire first game, and he still has so much more to offer. But again, Ato in the way, and for all the talk about Zen and Matias, it's been Ato who's been the extractor for Karmin for. Yeah, his offense has been key for the victory of the Karmin quarter. This is part of the tournament. He needs to come alive for KDC to be able to take the win here this year. Matias though, in the little A&C out of just there, Double commitment, Juicy. He'll take this one from his back wall. Actualize the dodge, apartment, Snizzi wanted to run interference. B-Wire, Xenotoppa ball has exotic on the wing. Exotic, this one gets past them. Right now, back to the net. Now, they all double convince our grade equally. The thing about Vatira on that last effort, he landed just about on the corner first, able to recover, but now, Vitality put the pressure again on forming court. Vatira has not had a long look since the net he's come on now. And he almost won the first. And again, we've got to be careful, because it's a little bit of a gamble. Because he by itself can't get the best 50, so honey, he's on his way back because he's supposed to lock up in some play. So he's coming back with no proof of getting up there and he can choose a only court, understood what they needed to do there. Now, break in addition, Extra has been to this roster as well. the coach firing up the boys as they take the lead with about 20 seconds left. Now the final count out of game one. The big does not yield a shot. They saw the shot, bring it to the side, and he's not able to follow, but Tira holds everything in his hands, and Vitality can only react. And not enough for the team that's coming up to take game one. I'm just straight there for Calmy Court in terms of just making that one close. I mean, you look at the general numbers here, I think it was six, six, give them some vitality too. On the side of Calmy Court with physicality, vitality is still going for it. You have to give them field position and stats, but they aren't able to generate too many chances to get the pressure. There was close moments, but that being said, Calmy Court able to get out of a lot of close situations and you saw what happened with those numbers, advantages on side of the blue wall. Vitality cannot let them have those opportunities again. The atmosphere here in Paris, electric and exemplified by that man right there, Coach Extra, giving the guys rallied up. The game winner from Juicy, he had both goals for Carming Court in game one. So now they've answered the call set forth by Vitality dance, right? Vitality scored first, Garmine roars back, and now the Gondler's been laid down across the way by the blue wall. What does the swarm have in response? They'll have to stop a material that has been having one of his best statistical lands ever. Number one, it goes for 1.2-4. Number three, in score with 503. One, it saves for game 1.85, and three, in shots with 4.24. He's got a 73, a 74% goal participation. All of these guys will be a personal record if he's able to keep them on pace and he's looking to do so. Those are numbers that just don't seem real. Unless you actually watch the game to realize that's well within range. Zen, hit by Ato, tried to stay in the place as he takes charge. He gets about got around to Sierra, forced him all the way back. Exotic, serve it up for Zen. Now it falls to Stizzy. He'll let one fly right at Juicy. And we remain scoreless in the first half of the first minute of game two. I didn't mention all of the tier stats when I said that. There was nothing, one more that I forgot. He's gonna play all of our sub-personal records. Tears been happening quite the event. Zen has leveled up. And they turned things around. After the game was physicality was giving vitality field space, but they haven't been able Generic bowls, planks, they bring this one all the way to the other end of material. Well, I feel like it's give-o, mythotic, juicy, spilled, good control. Some people have had a need to be fiscal, but if they did, it wouldn't be an issue, like I said, they'd bled, eternity, and give-o's for gain. And Cliff research collected by Juicy. Another effort by Stizzy. vitality. Six put in the pressure on even later in the middle stages of game one. They've gotten close to the farming net but since then they haven't really had that quality look as Ato was trying to leave on Nakhon Katera and by catching right. Sissi now has exotic to his right and Ato needs exotic. This will be boomed away by Juicy and he wouldn't like to have yet closer They were a touch and Zem's able to jump on this. And Army force to play maybe a little more defensively would have liked on that exchange. Alright. Now trying to get extended pressure, because you know Vitality's getting back on at the same time. If Vitality takes stuff on their own hand, that's when they have to hold the most weakest, whatever they spend up around. But high 30's the 40% of the time in their zone. So for Bobby for getting them on the old back end, those counterattacks have been big for them. But that means letting him call the court play, or letting Vitality play offense, which is all the way to scary thought right now by Vitality low on boost. That's a look to get this ball out of their hat. Under it, physical play, we'll play a role here as we get deeper into this series. He's starting to get into a little bit more of a flow, which then we can be very disruptive. Vitality already have six and X-Ribbit is up to him. So it's looking to make his mark on this series. You see now, met by Stizzi, and that goes back out a lot of really good field. He's here, double commit on the play. Now he's trying to make up what he does. Here's Atto on the ball. If you want to watch how comfortable Atto is here, because if Blade gets his first touch, when he rides it up, he'll be a big factor in how he's going to be able to generate things off Facebook, which is headquartered. Atto's going to line one up. Atto's already down there. He's dropped it! And where is the play zone 2? It goes to Ato. Atyra sees the launch seat. Ato pulls the tall girl. It does a kick off beautiful in that stacks. You can see it coming from a mile away. But you can't stop it. Inside Q to go. And look out on the kickoff over here. I got a flip as he was trying to cheat up. Alato, meets Zen, Juicy, got a piece of that ball as he trickles back to the Blue Wall corner. Alato just takes his time, not under much stress at all. He'll just bring that out to midfield. Good. Get the win in the air now, Juicy. He's now by Stizzy, now for me to pull, of course, but they don't have to bring the fight to vitality, but one goal partly feels like enough, There are these high octane offenses. But you can see for the army force the way that they can still compose at this moment. A couple of beats, they get an upward chance. They still don't let anything get away from them. Look at those duty hardware. They believe that for Batira, Batira wants to grab that around. They are looking to attack them. Batira, look at that work. There was a thought that he was going to toss it. It was like, wait, pass it? Nah, that's for people who can't score. He's done plenty of that in this tournament. One of three 20-ball scorers on the pitch right now. Now it's Sonic going right at Ato with Juicy wanting him behind him. Racers have all won by Stizzy, 35 seconds left. And the Alps, it's a front lead to an Ato save. They have the pressure on, but it was short-lived as Kurtman goes right back into my Caledon territory. It's amazing getting buffed out of play. Zin low cruise, so is it Zonic. This is not good for Zin. Matira tries to find the double. Just find it, but it was just slowing him. For Zin to be able to get there, either eliminate him for the speed, or for the backer. Now Vitality wins some life. It's Zonic trying to follow out. Touch up. Final 10 seconds. Zin, after the fourth issue, it's not a push to the corner, but he does have a cruise. How's he gonna get this center? He's taking it with a play to run. He's out of play. And Trucy will get this ball. He's in recovery, he's vitality, go to look for the field, he has the ball! That is ball from Atoll! His guys are way forward, he comes up from Narnia at the back and spikes that ball down, last line of defense, deep in vitality territory but it gets the job done and K-Corp throws a shutout in game two. And you're expecting EverSax to find out at this point. We'll let you know if it happens. But right now, vitality, been a little bit slow to the punch. The shots have not been as much safe once you sink. Had no shots to that game. Karmicorp have been able to zone in the end, leaving it's weapons. And you know, we just had confirmation EverSax has called for time out. EverSax, who once led the blue wall, in fact, led the blue wall in this very building. Now stands across the way from his twice removed replacement in extra trying to rally the Sworn now. They are down two games to none. The game that promised to be a classic Dazz has been... You wouldn't say one-sided because the games have been very close. The results all blew. They're building, building the wings. They're two steps away. And Vitality understand that they have not been playing the way that they want to. They can't be genuine. They can't be shot again. And having to play in an high energy environment. Even though they got some pretty good noise cancelling headphones up their stacks. They're not zoning any of this out. They're getting all of it. We can't hear what they're saying because they are literally on the other end of the arena and from us to the blue wall right now, Daz. I mean, what would you say? About eight kilometers at this point? It is a good long walk, but they are rowdy. Over there, they sense their team getting much closer and there is no give in the blue wall. Regardless of the score, as passionate, a supported group as you could ask for, these fans here in London, Fonserina have been true stewards of Rocket League. And in just a moment, we will kick off a third game. The timeout has expired. We'll see a team vitality can make a series of this against Carming Court. This is what they asked for, right? You saw a matchup like this Saturday with gentlemates in KC, now you're getting vitality in KC. The French are getting everything that they've wanted here, but with these French teams, it's about who wants them more at this stage of the game. Let's see Vitality off the time out. Stizzy already trying to go up the ladder, but here they're to meet him. Army Corps able to get things out here. Vitality get one off the tie now. They get a lot of momentum. But we saw that potential shot. Actual follow-up, it'll be exotic. With the save, still Army Corps, more and more pressure. As the keepers in New York have, this extended pressure has led Vitality to have no boots, but that you can fall out. Good follow by Stizzy. Recognized that Birmingham was kind of bunched up there. Just couldn't make any headway from it. Seven-fifty, Exotic, got it! Oh, my God! All right! And you don't have to be playing the all-time sacks. Sometimes you just need to floor shot on. Juicy recognized it, couldn't react in time, and Exotic, what a goal! Vitality response, coming out of the timeout. It was a very quick answer from Carmine after they conceded the only goal they've done in this series in game one. That's right at Xen. Well placed. Stizzy. Goes well to keep control. Trying to go through Juicy. This will call George Batiera, it's Nazi and Xen at the same time. Then comes away with it this time. Look at that from Xen. He's been able to do that time and time again. Keep the control. Play the ball high. If he needs to pinch it off the ceiling, he can. It's been super effective in giving Vitality a bit of feel to say, see Juicy though, too far off, did he get caught up? He's got it! Yeah! Cookies! Hand in the cookie jar. As Juicy can only watch it go. And Vitality has the biggest lead of any team in the series. A party called Park Sleep in there, you have to at least expect It seemed to be up there, but the chance to clear is there's so many people. And then it's like, corner wall, and now a lot of work to do as vitality. What a strike here and adjustment off the time. Now they've just been throwing it at the bed and telling Congress, look, you better be there. We're always talking about one goal not feeling like it, you know. Two in this matchup certainly does in very stark contrast to the other semifinal, featuring the top two offenses in the tournament. These are by far the stingiest two defenses to try and score on. They have relinquished almost nothing to their opposition all week long. Zan will sweep this away and his opponent is waiting in formation on the blue half. Now it's Dizzy trying to dive on my... Ah! ...my tower into oblivion! My god! Dizzy being won! Since my tower can't get away! What a strike from Skidney! Vitality! The swarm surging here in game three! Exotic will slow down Vatira. Vitality as a team has steiny the blue wall. Now they've got to kick it into overdrive, unless they will have conceded a whole game in a series that had gone so well doing them up to this point. That was a friendly fire save. Here it goes down here. You can tell he's pressing now. Recognizes the immediacy of the situation. Yes, it's only one game. But everything carries so much momentum here in this arena. You may not be able to hear them. You can certainly feel it. Yeah, absolutely. I tell you, look, he's up so early. First time until a flick reset. Laying on top of the ball, thin milk moves, but knocks it away. Good lead there from Xen. Xotic wants to get the fake one of all, but I thought he was just attacking. They have to. This one gets away from him though. I bounce, can you see me? This is basic shot! Come on! Oh, Xotic! That's a good one! Xotic, who had struggled so mightily through the group stage, has come alive on land. What a fake fight, Xen. And then the bounce shot right through. Exotic has been otherworldly in front of this great crowd. You expected a change after the timeout, but you didn't expect a level of dominance that we've seen in this game. Army Corps now trying to find something for the road here. But you just can't imagine a world with vitality across this up four, four to zero. If they could create a shutout here, that would do wonders in stopping K-Club's momentum and shifting it to the way of Mike Halley. At this point, you almost feel like the team going through the motions. Vitality, no. This one's in the bag. An incredible response after being shut down for the better part of 10 minutes. He starts to look at the side of K-Corp, not being able to get too many shots. You see, ahead of three, double, all target. He's still only got one shot to his game, after only two. Zing, he's like a front-down, a quick reset, tries to get to that corner. But at this point, time took me down. You gotta start looking to the future, because vitality, not when anything goes, that's not all I'm saying. You get nothing and like it. And just like that, Zing Vitality, it's your win. They got three to go, they want to take this series, offense was still in favor, he saw Karmic was trying to get more of this, this is a vitality was less physically aggressive with only one demo to their name, they have brought Karmic off and punished them after he's second they got, but here over four are shooting, that's the same number of shots I don't want you to combine me while exotic stizzies and all three to their name. They just kept Going at Carmen Corp as much they could and they struck at when the moment was right stacks 600 plus out of Zen almost six out of exotic A remarkable team effort out of team vitality They've been scissing 432, almost more than any two of Birmingham Corp combined, and it's not like otherwise statistically, Daz, it isn't like you look at the shot total and go, oh, they just, you know, they scored four goals, they must have outshot them by a million. No, they outshot them by one. What happened was team vitality got infinitely higher quality opportunities, and more importantly, They converted those opportunities here. We've seen time and time again. It's easy to get complacent at any point in the series. It's like, okay, I've done this. I've tried this shot a thousand times. We're gonna do it again. We have to make every opportunity count. And I think that might have been stressed to Vitality during that time out. We could just also feel the chest match here between extra and ever sacks. The way that these two have to manage emotions, gameplay decisions. It's just so much to think about here on the field. That's a man I would not want standing across from me in extra. That man looks like he scares daggers through anybody. You go shake his hand and you feel like you should apologize for offending him. Trust me, I'm laser focused. I about to ever told him I've gone against Kami Corp. And they went, I've seen what I've seen. He gave you that mean mug, man. And this gracious. That man needs business. So does Kami Corp. He's fucking interchose me here. But by telling me to carry this commitment to another game, what do we have here in game four? Well the vehicle responds, oh juicy! Oh he did everything but Charlie! And Fatima wins as well as this! Oh a brilliant effort out of Juicy, follow up! Denied by Zen, vitality work and overtime in the first 15 seconds of game four and they finally break out and the blue wall has to retreat. Oh this is gonna be a tough last back. First time getting out of the two away from him. But here, with a follow-up, double forget-between. But here, and Juicy, Juicy wants to run interference, but Vitality not bothered. This would be free ball, exotic. Look at this. Doesn't control it, just slams it down, healed. Again, trying to see if he can keep coming for defense, honest. Three goals out of exotic in the series. Three assists from Zen. It's Dizzy now taking center state, but he just looked that ball get away. Couldn't get a shot off. Right, this reserves possession, Zen will slow down, farming, and it's Dizzy again on the prowl. Trying to get this out of the corner, second touch, too low. And, but Jirenato almost ended up tangled up, but Ponte comes away with it. His shot is on, and saved away. Good lead from Zen. He's trying to jump early there, but waits for the ball to go right to him. Oh, this is a bad first touch. Juicy's a pretty awesome Zen now. Sits all the way up, gives you a punchy, but here it goes, a little awkward. But Atoe able to relieve a little bit of the pressure there. Vitality still with these long clears is making sure Karmykler takes the time to have someone back. Now he's out of, he also takes his time trying to get it past Atoe, but he's going to reach and force him to get to the corner. down one, but Sen at the back. Oh, Carmen scored like this earlier in mentality. Can't replicate that. We remain squaleless. That might be what it takes when these teams settle in defensively. Vitality having a much tougher time. Finding cracks in the blue wall. This goes up to the corner at Tato. Can track this ball, but Sen steadfast at the back as always. This is going to Matira. Oh, he's fell off the wall a little bit. Can't save with the ball. Well, it's hard to keep jumping there before saying to help him out. This is a free ball, though, for Matira. Stizzy jumps this time. Sting waiting on the back wall. You can just tell, oh, hey, Matira, with a demo, Matira with two demos. Can see, oh, Stizzy almost got hooked there, able to get the save. Now a demo comes through. Stizzy outplay. Stizzy gets bumped. Conrad Moore put a bunch of physicality here, But again, they can't generate a clean, final shot. Vitality, whoever's been last alive, so clutched in a moment like this. But Tira stuck without Boos for a good long while there. He was competing with Juicy for midfield boost. And still, man, it's come up with a demo. This just goes all the way across, out to the backboard. And he'll easily clear this. Everybody from Vitality seem to be in the air, except Dizzy at the back. Now exotic, trying to slow things down against the blue wall. After all, forward through the corner and juicy just a little too far back not a lot of boost to work with selectively For either side they're burning so much to try and win the role of midfield then enter of your seat stuff again One of the greatest players to play so again Look at how he does it Perfect to the top corner, bouncing! Unbelievable! A spectacular precision strike. Oh, wow! That was exciting! With this one, one like that, it just goes through the whole team. It's a team bump! They got Burley right under the floor! It's contagious. Now they can't miss. 125 to go. Farnan staring at a level series, unless they can turn the offense back on. They have not had many good looks. Maybe early on in these last couple of games. Then through the corner, they are doing to firming court. What K-Corp has done to vitality in the first couple of games, no goals since the game winner in game two. I mean, I'm still not over that same goal. He's so great, but here, though, he's over it. Response goal right to the top corner. The Karmie Korn make you take notice. 48 seconds left to get one quick here and pressures on. Excellent speed from Ato. Every mechanic matters. Getting through the corner to get on top of that ball and around the defender. They worked out this time for Kerming for him. Here goes Juicy. Left at midfield. Ato coming on. Right at set. He's tracking through the corner boost spot and material will have it on the other side. Down to 30 seconds left for Kerming There's a fake out of the corner, nobody there, come on in. Here's Dizzy, for the knockout forward game four, and Matira says no. You're not being denied here, who's getting there first? Atom, he's slipping his downfield, where's Matira gonna be on this place? You see, too far forward, and they gotta take it from their own back wall. And they go to the left of the field. Atom, gotta demo an exotic, Matira, on top of the ball. Matira, taking it low and slow, brings to the side wall, Atom! Look at this, from Vaterra, carrying it over. Xen couldn't get their exotic stuff on the goal line. Unbelievable turn of events with only seconds remaining. The vitality so much will pay to him. Look out, look out. Here she's got it. Look at that. Sure, let us go get to the ground unless right now that you want to have a go We got an OG eyes on the kickoff To watch out where this goes Stizzy awkward here Very awkward. I don't can work with this I'll be saying there to work through it. You see has to get a good touch here This is an exotic beats him in the corner Call up touch. Let's get it out Stacey. Oh fuck my Sierra Who else? There is Mati. On the other side, David, it's just a little cover of a touch. And Exotic's still the same. Follow now, Aitou! Aitou! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! What a turnaround! What a turnaround! Aitou! Electric in the blue wall! This one more breaks to go to the Grand Finals! You wouldn't believe the turn of events unless you start with your own eyes. Vitality, get two lightning quick goals in succession. The brilliant strike from Zen. Exotic adds one of his own. This was brilliant. He, Vitality, struck early and struck hard, shifted the momentum. The Karmicorps might as well be exterminators, the way that they handled that pest, and brought themselves back into this game. With 48 seconds to go, I might add, forcing time and time again, look at this from Ako, when you need someone to stop up at this stage, he is one of those players. However, Saxe stands over his team needing three in a row with at least two-thirds of the arena supporting them. But it's the blue wall at the back almost overlooking the trophy. Will they see their boys in blue with a very short walk to celebrate in front of them while this had him done? They're one win away from a date with Monkey Moon and twisted minds in the finals. Zane, back against the wall, you can expect him to give out for a day here. Vitality, the swarm will not be stopped so easily. They call me corn. Shut them out here, or we'll continue to play on. And that was great from Hato, just trying to drop it straight down. But again, teammates not in good shape. Hato, over Zen and Batira trying to flip through. All those saves by Exotic were underway very quickly here, familiar spot for Vitality early on in the game, racing another storm from the blue wall. This time they were built them for the first 30 seconds. She makes not in place. It's about to play. Big battle here on that orange corner. My Callity, this is a pressure that would be big here for Bobby Boat. They could win it. He's in a little awkward. No one on the back wall here for my Callity. But you know what's going up the line, but look at his eye. Great tracking there to get it out. Oh, Juicy around one. Oh, that's not coming in now, but that was not the help that Juicy was looking for. That's a great setup though. But Tira, can he get back onto this quickly? He can turn on this ball, but sends there too when it goes to the corner. Well, Sissy, a little bit of a tough spot here. Juicy does have a flip, but he wanted to leave it for Atoe. But they keep trying to hit it off the corner to set up a shot. It's just not working. So Vitality will get a little bit of room here, but we haven't seen them be able to keep it consistent. Look at the way Tony's put them. We're able to pass it out. This kills Vitality's offense every single time They need to contest that big field. Well, the teams have settled in. But for just a moment, as beautiful a little sport as it sounds, as Disney will need a second touch to get that out of the way, they could get a little ugly. Everybody kind of got discombobulated and struggled to settle back into a rhythm. They wouldn't get them all. That's all. Once they get out of the way, but the tears touch will get away from them. Without it, often to control this and choose He just takes it. Then, by touch, he creates something. The tier's time to deny it. Vitality haven't been able to work in the air like we've seen before. And he's had to spark something here. Know that back wall defense has been great for Karmy Kork. Even low on boost, they've been able to manage Vitality's limited shots. Zinz still doesn't have one this game. Another opportunity. Ato's gonna leave it. Floor to Jira! Floor to Jishi now. He peeled off at a good thing. Zen had him beat. Now Ato, to the heavens again, to get the follow-up from Exotic. It'll be on to Juicy who needs one more touch. He's got it. Ato running forward. He'll make no interference though, as Jizzy will hang it off the backboard. Shot on here, he's going to be saved away. Vitality's scrambling right now, comic-corp controlling the base. They get out, but you can see it again. They don't control the ball whenever they do get out. They have to try to match comic-corp, and they've been so creative. They're getting this out. Look at Ato. He's been out for the game. He's been out of the series, but it's still 0-0. Harvick won't have to find that final shot to do it just yet either. And Ty is kicking down. Superhuman mechanics for Ato, all week long here in Paris. Here she goes over top. Vegira, oh, and he wasn't the last one. He's open! This way! This way! Vitaly, what is it? It's starting with the blue wall there to block everything, Ato! Now I'm afraid to just go up a tier! And a big goal here! A million forty now! Time against Vitality! Is this how they go out? The Golden Hornets watching their run slip away. Looseball in front, one by Stizzy. Exotic, who has been excellent. Now Stizzy to the back wall, off control. But Tiara will conserve his boost, looking for the miss field. It didn't spawn for him, that's not the way to the corner. Zizz waiting over there on the corner up, but it's But Tiara who will send it out to the opposite end. And Stizzy jumping, but he's jumping just for fun. There's no way he's getting into that ball. Juicy getting a fall from the fake there from Zizz just immediately sits to the back wall. He's running interference because again, there's a lack of follow-up here for vitality. Vitality! He just cannot get to the ball! Pomecruper in the perfect spot! You need a monumental output! You need Xen here! Can he break through? Time against Vitality! They need something now! Disney did well around one. That's a great win by Juicy. Xen forced back with all the boost of the world, but it won't be around the city and result of that pass. 30 seconds opportunity here denied by Juicy. Vitality's got to send the house in the vital 30 seconds. Problem is, they're stuck deep in their own territory. Here's Exotic, zips forward, smithing it on by Atoe. All pundits go for a move, two, two, three, four. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! The leading scorer for Team Vitality It's not Zen as great as he's been. It's Dizzy, 29 on the weekend. And none more important than that one that we 10 seconds left. Will we have overtime to settle the score here at Sovereign Heights? Juicy on target. Zen repels. Okay, we'll try one more after winning for a pass. It will never come. And now Vitaly is gonna have a go at the last And we got overtime. Being overtime, Vitality not letting Kermit Kup take the battle so easily. Acoe off the kickoff, tries to play alone. He's out of here, taking Kup. But here has the back ball towards Kup, dropped down to Juicy, but cleared from a gothic. And this time they do not get Kup too far forward through Kermit Kup. They do get back in time. Juicy has been here a wreck in the heart of the Vitality zone. And I wonder that Bermain did not strike. Absolutely a back and juicy will recover in the air and nobody will score on that exchange. And Zane tried to make an impact, but he has to be careful. If he gets off the ball, it's letting Zane to win. No! Oh, yeah! Yeah! It looked like for just a moment. Corbingport had found a way to whizzle their way out of danger. And then, they let us destroy the stage. And they're gonna let him here. This is what you play for. You can tell Zane, that's me, in the energy of this room. We are going to Neo Tokyo. Wow, what a performance for vitality. I mean, when you think about Karmicorn, there's so much bunch of juicy alone, six shots, just so much offense. And then the control and the pace again, not alone, too much for vitality. Vitality has a team at four. They've only shot the ball in this time. And for them to just generate chances right back against the wall. This is what greatness is, but they still have more work to do and need to be able to force this into a game second for Cormie Court. Letting this one slip, they know what this means. They got to clean it up next game. Remember the incredible comeback in the last minute from Cormie Court in Game 4. Vitality delivers something extra special. Now, to Neo Tokyo, as if you told me that in this building, in this environment, that you can watch these two teams play, all you have to do is buy a ticket, I'd hand you my wallet and say, take whatever you want. Here we go! No time at all for Cormie Court leading up to this game. So they'll have it saved if they potentially lose this in post-7. They feel confident, they can end it here. They stop sense run and move to the grand finals. What will we have in store? An iconic effort, iconic flares. And Atoh starts, starts, Zin versus Juicy, got the flick. Patero makes it, Juicy takes this one, plays it slow. Patero, Atoh waiting to get involved. Harman Korn, scared with possession, scared with a chance. I don't know, Mr. Magic's gonna be last back here. I just tried to pass that off maybe actually a little too early. Ato, ranging back, no boost to be found, no support to be found for the blue wall, as exotic as a free ball, to at least a halfway point of the defensive zone. Now he'll dribble through, and Vegeta is right there to meet him in the corner. Well, that's not moving forward. He's actually going to turn it off, because he recognizes where he is. This touch gets away from him. And Karnik or Jucy, though, would know who gets there so fast. They just want to make sure Zing doesn't have the ball for free. But they let Sizi get a chance. They can come back to bite him. It's all they know. He missed the shot chance. And it'll be Jucy's ball. Rare unequivocal lift. Just make that a let. But here, I clear this away. The demo on Sizi as well. Lee's Vitality chip rarely short-handed, but the third court, Birmingham court, was also way far back. Juicy was back recovering from Booth, so doesn't really prove to be that advantageous at all. And now Vitality are just able to launch his back across midfield. Sam will do it again. He's got Stizzy trying to get in Juicy's way, and Vatira will try to stabilize. A lot of effort, not a lot of results. Only one defeat from Stizzy, he's sure handed it to the back. Vitality, no Booth here. Wow, it was just enough. Able to get it to Xayah who's just bought in and got the 100. But the tier almost out of strike there too. Atom doesn't get the demo. Atom! Whoa! The box on the recovery forced Dizzy out of the play just enough. And Atom, just under the bar at just the right angle. Those are the margins at the top. And now, by Tyler, he's down again. Turned their life on the line. No. A lot of time to work with. You're right. A lot of time. I don't think the nerves get to him just yet. They play all the time. They've got him in the plays. They have to come up. The light touch. This is what the following is. He's busy up here trying to throw off that second mid. It's got the agile here. It's not a little bit of space. forcing Patera to use a little bit of boost. You see him feathering though. No more depressions coming, no more dense coming. Oh! This is dark. Leaving it for Suzy. How can he create? Oh, he almost got it. The ball of the corner is put down back. And the move wall, a shield of the net. Missed opportunity for Suzy, an incredibly difficult play to convert. But one he wishes he could have back. That's going to go well wide. Zen will pop it out. Vatera staying with the play and slowing down vitality even more. Loose in front, Otto trying to weave his way. And wave that magic wand, but not this time. Vatera knows he's got space. Trying to use it. Zinn looking for a breakout. He knows he can break through this army force defense. But that final shot, they just haven't been able to execute this game. They don't need to. And the pressure will rise as the time ticks down. Get away from Sissy, but to her last back, he gets dibbled by Exotic. Ato will send that towards Zed. Should be a routine player, but they need more of a routine at this point. This arena waiting to explode if the Golden Swarm can find an answer. What they've got only 60 plus seconds. Now it's Exotic. He'll lob it to the backboard. Collected well by Ato, Zen out to impress him. Well that's what his record is, it's a great first touch. To get that ball away from him and force Vitality to work even more, spend more time to generate another opportunity, and a 45 is that goes back to midfield. Oh, Xanak, Xanak behind Xanak went there, Xanak goes up, Xanak quickly follow up touch, kind of favor Vitality, a bit of a double-cumming between Xanak and Xanak in the corner. What do you get with this? 30 seconds to go. Xen taking his gun. They'll get a little bit to keep the ball. He's locked the whole dispensation. But they can't. They have to go back. And if this is dangerous for them, we'll need to see late game heroics for vitality. It starts with Xen, as it always does. All that 50 in and about at mid. Exotic state back. It's dizzy. Trying to just feather that down. Exotic down. We're flying. It's all right. It's all right. It just seems inevitable that theatrics never end over time on Neo Tokyo. My voice is gone, but my spirit is high. In vitality, send us all the way, Stanzi. Almost in, but I must be there. Zenn waiting at the back again. What a powerful walk forward. Exotic, the boy will just strike again, but it's gonna be Vatira over top of Zenn. Exotic waiting in the corner. That wall got through, but nobody was up. For Garmin, Corbato's gonna have to run interference. As Tussi comes forward, Vatera stops at its center. Vatera adds Zen, adds Tussi, and it's set across. That's no second charge! Oh, just narrowly missed. Tussi, synonyms to Vatera. Vatera, let's clear it! No! It's Tussi! Tussi trying to cross up the blue wall. Oh, don't move off the back wall, they've got him! By Thursday they were ready to run him off! By Sunday! He is a hero of legendary proportions, the equalizer, and the winner in overtime. This series has delivered exactly the way we would have expected it to. Now we go on to Champions Field. And you can expect greatness at this point. Both teams delivering everything they can to bring it to the table. When you need something from either side. Legends have shown up. Only one can go to the Grand Finals. and find all they want to represent Europe and represent France. Here at the top of the... CHEERING Almost hit 100. That is the roar of a team of a fan-based supporter group that is hungry to take down their fiercest rival. And this arena has come alive for the Golden Hornets for team vitality. Here's your illusion, turn it up, turn it up. And put the momentum of all the longs to vitality. And she's dead, he knows. Let's get this place live. It's a home game. Let's not let these guys get comfortable. But there is so much experience on this stage with these teams. Champions, major champions, world champions. They know what this moment is like and they know what comes with the territory. After some hard fought, well played, but very one-sided and frankly lackluster series here on this arena floor, We have been treated to two absolute classics Champions field worn out for another one As team vitality brings it all the way back from down three one Between On an explosive answer, it would be right off the kickoff, as Vitality once again find themselves on the back foot against Carmingport, they do. Whether that early storm and a Tato from the corner right at Xen, not going to win too many fifties against him, but it worked out this time. But Tiro has options, better roll it through, hit that get there, but Xen recovers. Now to follow, that's going to go well hard from Shifty. First goal, then just put it, put the momentum here. Then, I think, but here goes, but here goes, I'm still able to get a tight, it's out of glass back. And get, get more, but, got a piece of the ball, so much momentum shifting, or ball hit off. It's both team trying to find it, cracking the armor. Demos were such a huge part of the vitality attack in games one and two, it did not yield any results. They're bringing it back now for the decider on Camp Field. That's goes across, QC, can he get the pinch? He has, but I'm off behind it, but here it's coming on. Ato gave it a walk, and that little hesitation, oh, I was just here to beat him. Oh, it's going to go along here, he knew he had exotic behind him. Great work there, it's going to go along too, he can't go for this. He is able to dodge the ball, and Ato, with free-stand, yields nothing, except for free-stand and free-stand. It's a vitality, able to kind of manage the pressure. He went on the court, I've got a little bit more space out than what we've seen. We're trying to take their time seeing if a tear can create something here for Juicy. Thank you! Thank you! Finally, that's a splash! We wouldn't have got this to go through. It's just a simple shot. But exotic! Over in it! Juicy with picture-perfect placement. We've seen this though. Our McArthur struck early. Vitality has always struck back. They're looking for the game. Zen almost got the pump. They keep turning this around. Wait! That thing got thrown! It's an old targeting! Oh! Well, what's the difference, right? In game four, I'd rather game three. All of those went in for Team Vitality. Now, Juicy has a look. It's open! What a win! Big follow! He's caught by Caledon twice now! And he's making a step on the series! Hard to maintain your composure on either side knowing you're so close. But Tira again off the backboard. It's great for Otto, but couldn't control the second touch. Juicy Stonewall. Here goes. Disney forced it through, but off to the side. Inside it. No, he's not going to go here. He's going to let Otto run wild. Got the momentum. That's what we're going to create up here. The way it's hit, he's going to jim on. I think that was Kateri. He's thinking about the plate. He's going to create. No, no, whoa. I don't know if the high can. He's got it really. expecting to miss halfway through this game. It's been all public form. It has been mostly juicy. We've been charged there with the two goals. You're the only player who came into this series with single-dizzy goals. Single-dizzy! It was a double-d! What a breathe there to face! What a win! My thing! No, it's not! You have to block! Ato, face is tied. It's in. Ask him a good touch. We'll try to follow this. But my talent is struggling to follow up down by two. When two minutes to go, can they create enough offense here to equalize? We've seen them do it before, but not two. Sissies out to do it. Big miss. The Taylor, the score. Taylor did well. Three to zero. Catastrophic. And now Vitality must walk in with 102 feet of the clock. And you saw Matura trying to calm him down saying it's not over yet. He knows what's coming. Can't count this team out. Not this team. Not in this building. Not in this situation. Exotic. Renato. A lot of comfort for Carmine, though. They don't have to play with a lot of pressure. There's a double on the backboard, though. Let's hear it! Just barely. Kept that one out. The speed, the exotic. Oh, the demo of the play. No boost for Stizzy. We're trying to get both Stizzy pumping shots. Oh! Stizzy! Stomach! It's the B-2! They knew it! They would strike back! Remember, KC only needed a minute in Game 4 to turn it all around. Vitality still need two more. Does it feel like a ship is coming? Yup, especially with that kickoff. This is dangerous. Exotics right there, Capitira. Here comes Sen! Lip Reset! Drop it down! And the whole exotic was the man of the hour could not get on to it Stacey Cheeky Five goals for Juicy in this series two coming in this game. He has been the hero that Karmine needed to close out team vitality. And now it's desperation stations for the Hornets. Batira, send it away. Reality's setting in. Sam's gotta go to work now. The terror slows them down and the loudest countdown from the blue walls about to begin. Down to seven and the blue wall persimmon! Hermione gets a cake with twisted minds in the finals! The blue wall has stood tall all tournament long from the group stage into the upper bracket. And now here, taking down Vitality, they earned this spot in the Grand Finals. Vitality gave it their best shot, but it just wasn't enough. You didn't see a moment here. There's so much mutual respect between these two. They battled tooth and nail, they did it in Dusseldorf, and they've done it here. This time it's Vati with a lot of help from Juicy at the end and it's Karmin Kork that comes out on top and gets their shot at glory in the finals. That series though gives you everything that you're looking for. I mean you get a punch, a counter punch, you get great moments, you get solo efforts, you get team ball, physicality, all of it. Vitality is not the last we've seen of them. The world can't get you to this coming. But for climbing court we got a chance to win this major in front of a home crowd. They earned that date against Twisted Minds. What a showdown between these two. Just an amazing, amazing performance out of the blue wall. Resilient as ever. It looked like Vitality had all the momentum. They had brought it all the way back to Champions Field. But one man came alive. It's Juicy, and he's standing by with Leaf and Ludi. An incredible match. If you're not entertained, I don't know what will. Let's make some noise for both Danes, Vitality and Kankar. And I need some for this man right here, make some noise for Juicy! Juicy, unreal match. At the end there I saw smiles, but I also saw Vatira saying calm down, calm down. At what point do you allow yourself to say we're going to win this? The match was exceptional. We saw a lot of smiles, a lot of emotions. At one point, we also had a lot of That was all the points. We were so excited in this series. The match was so fast. So every time we put a goal, but you just remember us to calm down, calm down. And that was a point of reset, every goal for us. And that helps us a lot to just stay in the game, full focus. I want to tell you quick about a vitality across from you. What an incredible match. How exhilarating was it to be able to face a team like this to be able to make it to the grand finals? What did you expect from your opponents, from Vitaetti? What did you expect from them? What did you expect from them? What did you expect from them? What did you expect from them? First of all, to defeat the French Freireaux, it's a bit boring, we're not going to lie. But frankly, they're really strong, they're really very strong. I think we could finish the series sooner, but I think they played really well. They really focused on our mistakes, I'd say they just play really well. Every time we make a mistake they took their chance. Maybe we could win earlier but we did it and of course it's so hard to play against your brother because we know him so well and we are so sad to get them out of the tournaments but just did it. Hey at the end of the day the crowd still loves you as well here and for you it's been a while and you've been in a Grand Finals on a stage. How important is it for you to be on the stage again in a Grand Finals here in Paris? It's been a long time since you've been on a huge Major Finals, especially in a half-finals. What does it feel like for you to be here in Paris and to be able to play these games and this Grand Finals in front of your audience and your French audience? Frankly, it's been a long time. It's been a while. but already played with the French audience, frankly. Thank you for making so much noise, you are really excellent. The Blue World, the Golden Hornet, the Jutland Mids, honestly, thank you very much. And on the personal plan, frankly, I will give everything, and it's a win, I don't know, in Paris. It will be even better, in fact. here because winning Paris in everything for me and here we go for the final. Well here we go for the final and to help them out into a give-em-your-energy Paris Blue Wall give it up for K-Core! The Grand Finals of the historic Paris Major will be twisted minds from Mena versus Karmingkor from EU. What a battle that was that we just witnessed both semi-finals gives going to champions feel this last two and a half hours feels like a fever dream we got two amazing matches an awesome announcement and man k-corp prevailed but vitality you got to give them credit down three one after blowing game four as well yeah battle all the way back to game seven it shows that your heart that they have through two like last second goals yeah tie it and then winning two over times to get to game seven, it felt like they had all the momentum going on the Champions field. It was just wild because of that game four where it felt like they had it and they lost it at the very last moment. Most teams are out in five there. Yeah, I thought that was it. When I saw the lose game four, in that manner, I think there's no way you can come back from that. I guess the team that you have lost the most during the past, they do it. They've been in Boston, but apart from that, they dominated the rivalry. So incredible mental display for Vitality to make it to game seven. Let's rewind back to game one here, Pates. I mean, it was a back and forth. Karmicor got the first turn by Tauly. We're gonna let them know this is not going to be a walk in the park. I mean, it's just too tight as a block and they're going neck and neck. Counter-point, point, counter-point, point. I mean, that is just what they do. Zen versus Batira pass. And Batira, honestly, when it comes down to his experience, three years ago, Batira, he will be caught in a moment. Every single time, by Tauly, Kev making plays, Batira is caught keeping the team calm. And then finally in game seven, Karmicor finally making plays again. He saw it on the cams. Batira. Oh my, oh my, oh my, we're not done yet. Sin is still here, only takes one moment for Vitality. And I absolutely love it, it was five one goal games and each team had a full left win. Vitality got those early and obviously that game seven was K-Corp's but Vitality right here, this was the turn of foot in the match, it is game four, they have full control, they're up two late and they fought. Yeah, this was the game I thought was the end of Vitality because they're two off, they looked great. They just won the previous game. In case you come back and win it in 0-0, And that was late in the game as well. Atsu had a double tap, which could have probably been safe. But even going down in the next game as well, Vitality's resilience. I mean, just look at this. They're completely down and out. They just hang on. They finally get the chance and they take it. Like this goal, but that's the 15-second there game. Number five in an overtime, goalie goal. Why not, why not use the best of the game? Why not believe in them? And of course, he makes it happen. Looking right there. Don't give a turn. I was like, oh, no. He's going to fly it back. He goes to the door again. He's in there to make something happen. KC struck first in game number six. They're like, OK, they're comfortable. They're fine. But sitting up, boys, they just don't go away. Just pure magic. Just pure magic on the field by Gold team. Gold team. He believed her, by the way. And the two seconds are here. Two seconds. Exciting with the play. No boost. And he gets the other play. It looked completely over, and he suddenly pulls it back. I mean, this was unbelievably scripted. But then, of course, right here, Juicy just opens up, going Juicy, doing what it doesn't, and KC is having a poacher right here. And Juicy actually mentioned that right there about 10 seconds before that, and came right back, that's called composure, that's called quick memory, get on my system, but I got the ball again, make a play happen, and then after that point Vitality just finished the play. Yeah, I mean their structure completely fell apart like look again. It's another open net They had about three open nets and then a fourth one later on where I thought stopped on the goal line Just a little bit trolling from him. So yeah, that's how he completely Panicked when they went down one nil in game seven that didn't happen when they were down one nil in the previous game So it's just a game seven moment there for vitality to look back on Cheeky play there almost say said but you see puts it home But the down cloth incredible an incredible performance from the blue wall and they will get to play for the title of Paris major champion but twisted minds They've had seven games now Johnny to sit back and watch this monkey move against Vitira for the title of Paris major champion It's so scripted. We couldn't have written it up better. We're not beating the allegations James is headed by by the way Okay Appreciate it. This was a crazy series. I at times was like do I leave now? Do I get something ready and it goes to game seven so it was such an entertaining series But I think for me there were two big themes in that series one was the tier of being as steady as a rock Or a blue brick under pressure and then also how clutch at toe is and I think this will really exemplify We've got the final 30 seconds of regulation here This will be an equalizing goal by at toe, but we'll just watch the build up Stizzy He's gonna take this ball down field He's gonna go for a reset and this is actually really nice defense from Vittira. Look at this, Dizzy's coming in and he's going for that lead bump play, but Vittira sees this coming and just dodges it to get that touch to the side. This is the margins we're talking about for victory and then this is another big moment. Zen is coming in, if he gets touched on this ball, he could stifle this attack, but he actually misses on this ball perhaps. He was trying to go for a fake and trying to set up a teammate, but no one was there for it. And now this ball is gonna get Hunted downfield another big clear coming out from exotic and this does get by Juicy And you can just feel the panic now starting to sit in for k-corp They don't have a lot of time to work with but Juicy is gonna take this upfield. But here again dodging bumps Stizzy another opportunity to make a plan the ball, but he doesn't and this is where things really start to get high pressure pressure. Stizzy is going to go for a touch over to the side. Batira has a choice here. He could try to take this touch up the wall. There's so many options he can have. Stizzy also might try to get down and make a challenge on the ball, but Batira just turns off, lets it bounce off the sidewall. So smart. He is so calm under pressure. This is what I was talking about and now it's him versus Zen. Zen has second thoughts, hits the brakes and that is when Batira smells blood in the water. He's going to keep this ball close Zen in reverse that's when you know things are bad is trying to get back on the play but Batira he's going to hand this off to the secret weapon Ato who was the difference maker for K-Corp all series long and now off the bounce this is a very difficult touch to make he's taking it off of his teammate that in the ball is slightly elevated and this ball going towards that exotic jumping to try to save this off the bar but it hits the bar and goes just out Out of reach from Exotic, if Exotic is in touch on that, he's probably saving it. Ato has to get another touch. His he's right there, and he hits that through, hits the equalizer, and eventually K-Corp go on to win that game. But you see how tight those margins are, and how calm Vittira was, and how clutch Ato wasn't finishing that one. I really appreciate you breaking that down, James, because that was backstage around the time that clip started. And then I walked out, and we were in overtime, and I was like, excuse me. I don't know what just happened. It's just wild to see plays like that. those small plays when like all the pressures on the line. They both teams want to win this pass. They're not going down the wall there is crazy. It's like these guys are under like immense pressure, but they're doing plays like that with inches. Thank you so much to James for the the illustrations been really fun. The entire Paris major long. We will get one more of those for the grand finals. We'll see, but only one match left to play bates. It's been an incredible day for Rocket League history for Rocket League Championship Series history. And we're going to crown it off with one more match. It just makes sense to me to go to the open-air of Mucky Moon. He's from France. Of course, he's going to be in the Paris Major Grand Final. And then Carmen Corbettira, three major championships. He's looking for number four, which is by far the most major championships that the open-air has begun. It just makes sense to me to have these two teams going up against each other right now. On one hand, you've got two world champs and a player that's never won the title. Other than you've got a world champ with two titles, a major champion, and a player that's never won a major. Like, it's either way. We're getting first timers and repeat winners. It's just wild to just everything that's happened in this past two and a half hours is the same, especially because I leave for one segment and wave punk changes the tire like wave was the first time ever. He takes off to second and he has to insert on the field. Were you going to come back like that if Casey lost? Yeah, if Casey lost, I wasn't going to come back with the jersey on. So obviously, just in case, we could pull the unbuttoned down there, folks. Anyways, we got a grand finals coming around the corner. The players are getting ready in the back. We're going to take a quick break when we come back. The grand finals of the Paris major twisted minds taking on Carmen core. You won't want to miss it. Oh, now this guy's going that way. Now I'm getting the lay of the land. L.A.s can be a big test for a young homeowner turning into their parents. There's an overflow lot somewhere in the vicinity.

Zach, let's start with you. I know, it's true. I thought that's why she's just sitting there. I think it's false. It's going to go to Zach. It is true. Why that? Why is that a thing? You can do what's there for me. Zach 2, beast mode 1. In Massachusetts, you can transport a bear in your car, but only if A, it's in a cage, B, it's been fed within four hours, or C, it's wearing a safety helmet. What do you think, beast mode? I want to go to B. Zach? I want to see. You see, you have to wear a safety helmet. And the answer is only if it's in a cage. Wow. Going into our last question, true or false, in Little Rock, Arkansas, it's illegal to sound your horn outside a shop that sells sandwiches after 9 p.m. What do you think, Zach? I don't think you would have made that up, so I think it's true. I gotta win. I'm gonna go to the fall. Well, it is, in fact, true, and Zach is going to be our winner, three to one. As it says, Zach, that means I get to present to you this golden seatbelt. Congratulations. And remember, folks, whether you're driving to an RLCS event or just driving down the road, buckle up every ride, every time. Click it or take it. I You've seen it all, until you open your eyes I never wanna be alone There's no schools I want you to never leave my side I run away with you Just use your mind The world we used to know, is burning down. Well, we're strong enough to build our world. We've been running for ages to search the night I want you, I know we both escaped Just a grin We've been running for ages to search the night We can feel every day after running for nights We feel so light I'm just excited we're getting to see somebody When this is driving me down to the long road Can you feel the fire in your soul, even at the chance for love? Can you feel it? Holding your thumbs is letting all your feelings go But I can feel it Oh, so cool, they turned up the window But we've been playing The end now, we did it But we can't light it up I know that we can make it through the night I I To know the way, the way that I had been To know the way, the way that I had been To know the way, the way that I had been To know the way, the way that I had been It's been five days of celebrating the greatest e-sport in history, but it is time for the grand finals. The ultimate match in Paris is upon us. It will be Twisted Mines vs. Carmey Core. And we will get into that match as soon as they are ready welcome back to the desk It's been a crazy day gentlemen for a number of reasons Absolutely because you you want to you want to run it back you won't watch the thing again. We'll be now so again You know what? Can we watch the thing again? Come on. Can we do it again running back? And you can see the reaction, you can see it, you can see some of the highlights from inside the stadium. There's some people that just completely stunned, they decided, oh my goodness, this is happening. We did a clip to Jorbey, we thought Jorbey was gonna be so hyped, but he was so excited, he couldn't find any words to say. That's rare, which is rare, genuinely rare. He even said it too, he said, this is my first time in my life, I've never had any words. That was just gonna get us to work on TVs and we're cold. What was the experience like for you? I mean, you have a unique perspective on that announcement. That was very frantic, for sure. Me and Shokun both were like, we just got to get through this, but it was awesome. It was a great honor. And honestly, I think everyone knows that the future is bright for this game. Were you, as I said, like the next 10 years, and I meant it. Like, this is going to be an amazing ride. Stump, Beno, you've been the greener route. You've been trying to get the secrets, but you've yet. Actually, of all the people, you've been most like, I'm just genuinely excited to find out what it is. How does it feel now? I've had to resign myself to not knowing, and that gave me inner peace. It was quite nice to not be frantic, needed to find out. It was everything that I think I wanted it to be of just, we're being teased, there's still a lot to come, there's a lot of detail still being worked out, but to experience it in here, we're sort of like the people near me that we had near us. It's beautiful, isn't it? So you were so excited, you actually went over the limit and came back down to like, I think so, to like meditation level. It was like horseshoes theory. I got so excited, I like reset my energy and then went back to zero. Rescred the entire emotional spectrum as a binary one one-way, like one-dimensional experience here. I will say, and no one's talked about it, the fitment on the R34 Skyline GT-R is very, very good. And it's always like the fitment to the trailers are always good. But then in-game, like, you know, like when you gotta work on the mechanics or something, I said I was in-game footage, so I'm like, wait, wait, I'm gonna play the whole show, let's move on. Yeah, let's do it, let's do it. I can talk about this all day. But we got a grand final on the way, wait. We do have a grand final. There we go. Two teams. 16 teams entered pairs. Two teams remain. One from the Middle East, one from Europe, Carming Corps, looking for another trophy in the cabinet. And they began the year with a land victory, but the big difference there, it was only Europe and North America at that kickoff land. That's when K-Corp won it. The Middle East was not there. Twisted mines were not invited. So, Twisted mines gets their shot at them here. I was, I said on first touch at some point this year, I was talking about Carmen core and I said, like, honestly, Carmen core is kind of a boring team for me to watch right now because literally there's nothing they can do that I'm not like, yep, that's what I'm expecting you to do, except for win the world championship. So this was back before we had gone to Boston. I was like, I was expecting them just to roll through everything. And then they faltered. They genuinely stumbled. And this would be meaningful to see them get back on top here. It would give me confidence to see them win here looking for the world's coming in as a EU four seed of very few people in a talent team predicted the win. usually they'd buy part of the favorite. Buy part of the favorite. So the place he does to come in, handle, gentlemen, he's beat by TauDi two times. Now going up against a TM squad that's been this great. It makes a great story. And it's in Paris too, but here on Town Crowd. That's the hardest thing, right? Cause you're going to have those nerves, but they maybe got over those at the World Championship last year, but it's just about the experience. You knew K-Karp, yeah, it's a new 4C, but everyone knew that they're going to be a top four team at this event. And they showed, I was going to say, I think that for these players in particular, and obviously for Monke Moon as well, on Twisted Mind, It must feel that bit more special to compete in your capital city. Yeah. To have your fans here, even if you're a gentlemate fan, I'm sure there's a lot of them that don't want to see Carmen Court win, and they will be rooting for Monkey Moon. And I do think that the question has been, will the French be able to live up to the burden of having to win in front of their home crowd? We saw in Leon just a little bit too much, but the fact that there is a French player on both sides, I think is good for everyone on the stage. They don't feel the responsibility of, I'm carrying French. France is winning either way. This is just special. It's special for the players. It's special for the people in the building. It's special for you at home. It's time for the Grand Finals of the Paris Major. 16 teams came to the heart of our sport. Now only two remain. It's time to meet the Paris Major, Red Followers! but a final victory always in the head. The Arena defense is at home. Here, the fields are still more open. At each point, they are taking the stage. The pressure rises at each point. No one knows the pressure that they have. Vatira, Ato, Jussi, carrying the weight of a whole crowd behind, And the opportunity to fight for Paris in blue, forever. Oh 3 players, 3 stories, 11 goals. Monkimouin, double world champion. Tonight, in his city, in front of his nation, he is waiting for the summit of Rocket League at Deau-Rocquoise. He is here because once we get used to the victory, the second place becomes unbearable. PRK, major champion, the player who has already proved that he can respond to the present in the light projectors. He knows this scene, he is in his way. And Nyuubo, champion of the world of 1v1, individually, touchable. But there is one thing that still escapes him. A trophy in the team has been placed next to this team. In Paris, it could be changed Islam. Together, they are Crystal Mines. And when they arrive here, they will not lose anything. And everything will be won. Okay The first player of Ato, major champion. Don't go over there two years ago, going on year number three. This young man, he came under the scene at 15 years of age, gives 15 years. He's proven nothing short of excellence. The captain of the Blue Wall, a six-time land winner. He wants a seventh to tie TurboPulsa all-time, number one. And finally to round out one of the best rosters that Esport has seen, Juicy. A player reborn here in Paris. Looking to win yet again. Previously in Copenhagen, and now here in front of a home crowd. He is in front of this home crowd, but listen. There's a team on the other side, and they're not playing on land. Let's get on up to it. Starting with the rebound, you know? Oh, never mind. The three letters that we've most feared the most. TRK. Mina's go, broadly major champion. You know he brings the tables here. The best Vila player in history, the major winner and the greatest player, Rocky. What? Rocky won this time, world champion. Once again, another trophy in that case. We can talk all day about 3v3. How about a player though that has transitioned from the 1v1 scene, sits as king on top of it And then comes the Paris, aiming to win the 3v3 title as well. It has never been done, and today may well be that day. And for those of you at home who are confused, why is the crowd going nobo? It's because last year, Lyon had the world championship. To win his 1v1 world championship, he beat Moxie, the freshman, the favorite in that title match, and he took him out of style. And he loved the feeling of doing it. He was telling the crowd, keep doing me, it fuels me on. And he got through Moxie and then immediately turned to crowd and was like, that's what I can do for him. And he's known as public enemy number one around here and he can do it again. K-Corp are going to be fan favorites and he can quiet them in France for the second time in less than a year. The blue wall are on home turf. Monkey Moon is on home turf. The two Saudis looking to stay calm, stay collected in enemy territory. But if you had to pick one of the four on the stage to have as your ally, the greatest player of the open air is a great choice. And of course, it's go versus go here with the zeroes. Now he's trying to catch up to monkey moon and he can do so here and one point zero zero goal per game, leading them tons of offensive categories. As well as the whole team, seventy four percent in the goal purchase mission. And that says, well, it's not just the numbers that benefit him. The eye test is all full monkey. I was amazed at how he played versus gentle mates. I was even more perplexed at the mechanical quality that he was shoving. Moving to Salvi and competing in the leagues there within Mina has made his mechanical ability shoot up. That's not what he's been known for. He was the best player on the pitch in one of the most mechanically intensive series we have seen this entire weekend. And we have two of the best teams here. Obviously, it is a grand finals. K-Corp is undefeated in this tournament. Twisted Minds though, they lost in round one game five to rebellion and they had to take the long road They had to win six matches in a row to get here 303 one 4-1 4-2 and 4-2 Oh, and a 4-3 as well on top of that They've had to work to get here Do they have enough energy to take down k-corp is the real question and often when championships here in the rock league Championship series. These two offenses are both top three at the Ferris Major, but one is number one. Twisted mines. They've been relentless in that game seven match against Shotfire Rebellion, which is just all two matches ago before a big announcement. They shot the ball 82 times. It's over 10 shots per game. That's so much pressure. Always capable of being able to manage that. It's also incredible the fact that both past semifinals, that both these teams went through, it looked like one team was going to be running away with it, and and their opposition then caught up, and yet the team ahead stayed ahead. They managed to have that mentality locked in. They were rock solid as they got into that game seven, and both managed to win out. These are gonna be unshakable mentalities in the finals. It's gonna come down to endurance because as soon as we started this new format about two years ago, no team has ever won by coming through the lower bracket. Just to mind to leave the first team to do it, and that's because you have to spell so much energy on this final day, you have to win three matches. But both teams were tested last match going to Champions field. But K-Corp, they recently played. Will that favor them? Will that hurt them? We'll find out. But Twisted Minds, they've had a long time to wait at this point. They had a long time to figure out what went wrong versus rebellion. Can they fix it in time versus K-Corp? It always feels like when we look at these teams, and you could point to one player and be like, this is the star player on the team, and the other two are trying to either live up to that. Yeah, is it a foul? That one player having to like p-courses about that. Did you have to bring the floor up? I keep on rolling over the six players in the stage right now. I can't find a weak link. Man, it's all about the X-Faxes. That's what it is. Fubi already talked about Monkey Moon. He is the best out here, but with the minds. Even if he has 20 boots or less, he's always making challenges, giving noble time, giving TR time to make plays happen. On the other side, though, if you look for the Ato demos, how much can he disrupt that TM defense, especially when a playing Super Mega offense, catch one on the rotation, give the tier and the boys a couple of 50 next. I think also throughout this entire season, you look to both these teams and say, OK, you know what, the tier of this weekend, here's the guide. Next week when we see them, it might be juicy being the guys. Same as over for the mean boys. It takes such a well-rounded team to get to points like this. Throughout the season, you could point to any six of these players as being the best at any given moment, and you would be hard to argue against. To me, this matchup is atau versus nobo, because Nobo is going to have those 1v1 plays and it's how it's going to be that third man playing in a lot of defense. He's been so good. We saw two top plays, two big saves by him earlier. When he rotates out, he goes for a lot of demos, but he's always the last one back when they have to play defense. So it's going to come down to we'll go, we'll get those 1v1 plays to set up his teammates, life monkey, and you know he's going to position perfectly on the field. It's going to come down to those 50-50 challenges, I think, between those two that might determine this entire match. Yeah, but it's going to be a lot of pop shots too. You're going to be seeing a lot of angle shots. I'm gonna shoot for about 20, I'm gonna say 20 unreal units out. I'll wave away from the net. That's what these teams like to do. You're gonna see some mechanics, but these two teams demo quick shot, demo quick shot. It's gonna be quick pepperings, everything that's on and off. And with two teams with such spectacular offenses, it's a boring answer. But those feel like the X-Factor is gonna be whose defensive fundamentals stay strong. You want to sometimes sacrifice defensive position for the sake of more offensive power. The team that calls for that sirens call and sneaks up feel more often probably going to be the team that gets pulled on the most. And this isn't a world championship, but this is the biggest terrorist nature. The biggest event we have ever put on. This is important to multi-seize obviously for the French players, but for everyone to win the biggest event in RLCS history is absolutely... And you said it's not a world championship, but this is the final most spectacular stop on the road to the 2026 World Championship. And if you win here, you set the stage, you set the tone for that World Champion. If you go in as the most recent Raining Defending Land Champion, that carries so much power behind it. We've seen to that exact argument that when MonkeyMove managed to win an EWC, the next year, he went to Diggie's Arena and then managed to take down the World Championship too. After having a relatively poor season there, I think it was 2024, a couple of poor lands couldn't do anything. Winty WC becomes galvanized takes down the world championship title as well. This is the last event before we go to the world championship. And it's it's just like it's crazy. Tier one was part of the biggest loss removal of this offseason. Well, he got kicked off a foul. Because they had to make it into the grand finals of the world championship. They had to figure out how to build around this team of Nobo and Tier K. They pick up monkey. Obviously, I question the movement because monkey moon last season wasn't that great. But it has gelled at the perfect time and on the flip side cake or a miserable split to an EU4 seat is Uncrescent entity for them, but they figured out when they get weeks of preparation. You know cake works gonna come back stronger, so Man, it's just so tight. We have however seen an EU4 seat with a land of Europe and that player who did it was juicy Very true. It sounds the first time it has ever happened in the RLCS Could it happen again with car ming kong who nobody thought was gonna be the four seat? the question is up in the air. It feels like the four seats like a fun like technicality here. They're making karmic or fears very very different than them being gentlemen's but it does speak to the caliber of the European region that a team this good struggled regionally to take that top spot and to get here they had to take out the number one seat it feels like karmic or is peaking right now they didn't just have to take down the number one seat they also have to take down gentle mates they went through two of the biggest teams to get to this point and then that was literally their last two games. They have done a phenomenal job, not just, you know, getting through some lower level teams. No, suddenly we're in the final. No, they've battered everyone on their way. Well, folks, let us know who you think is going to win in the progressive fan, but we will make our final picks of the Paris Major here on the desk. The fans have a hero on the stage. It feels like they have two heroes on the stage. We could maybe see it going either way. Stop it. Who you got? I'm quite low in the prediction I don't know if you've ever heard of the blue bull show up for me on the desk today grand final give me coming home. All right. One for the blue wall. So you know me on the desk. I was go by the numbers. I was going with the safe pick usually picking the favorites and all that stuff. But like, you know, I'm not going to be the only one that I'm going to be the only one that I'm going to be the only one that I'm going to be the only one that favorites and all that stuff but like there's one team that I just believed that would show up to this event and would win it. And that is Cancorp AB. Get me the Blue Wall. I believe that they will win this. At the top of that prediction battle graphic there is a Blue Wall logo behind you. You did pick them to win this whole thing at the very beginning. It'd be insane if you didn't pick them here. You know I like this one stuff. You go for me sometimes. Listen I'm literally still wearing a Blue Wall jersey under this so and I'm not gonna just this round again here, but I am clearly picking the blue wall. Daking down the fight towel against the semi-final tables. Absolutely spectacular. They have been the best three matches of the tournament, and they have won all of them I've got farming for. I see. So you got this jersey right here, gives you like this, man. I ain't using that nonsense, man. Come on, give me, I'm just playing. I'll take him as well. I'll take him as well. KC, good job here. I'm good to go out here, handle business. Hope y'all know, Wade. What is it? I was so needlessly disrespected. That was my favorite game that to me. That feels like bad luck and confused. We'll see how this goes, though. Does the coin come up for him? No, the coin has twisted minds. The coin believes that Monkey Moon will take the top spot. And the coin is right 50% of the time. We had two game sevens in a row. Let's get the third here. Let's get another champion. That's all we want. We want to see an excellent match for this final. That's all I care about. We've only had best of sevens since the announcement. Maybe it's a new area here, folks. I'm excited for it for the final time of the Paris Major. Get up and get loud. It's game day. The major championship trophy. Many great players have gone entire careers having never laid a finger on this symbol of conquest. One last challenge separates these two teams from their rightful spot here on this podium. And what an honor it would be to claim the trophy of the greatest Rocket League Major of all time! Batyra is hunting for an unprecedented force major title! But the mayor of Fort Worth is tuning up the band for a return to his domain! Who will be remembered as the champion of Paris? This is your grand final! Fire up and let's go! To your Paris Major Grand Final! Join me, DJ DJ! Let's go to work! Go to the side of the pitch and screw the goats alongside me on the call JB. Let's lift the roof off this joint. This is just so scripted scripted And we ask for a scripted grand final as well as find out in game one brought to you by progressing Monkey Moon who has been the star Everyone wrote him off. Is this guy watch? No, he's put everyone in the tumble dryer Blurring everyone in front of him now juicy try fun to set the monkey of glass KC, they still warmed up on that most recent semi-final. Swift and Munch wanted to be able to start a good big rematch over the dunk as well. Juicy into the side. KC, they're looking hot. And what's important to know is how big this first game is. We want to make it a big deal to you all. But it comes from the league grand finals. Teams usually dominate. Get the star you need. It's just that extra bit of pressure. If you saw it in Game 7 by Tal, you were able to stay calm, trying to make comebacks against SKC in Game 5 and 6. You put them in Game 7 down 1-0, the nerves are at a different level. Now in the grand final, from Game 1, the nerves are already at that high level, so... Oh, Monkey Moon! ...be careful, Monkey Moon with the miss! Yes! Chessy with the goal! It's a big, big mistake! First blood! Kameko, Monkey Moon! Phenomenal all tournament long! The naughty Game 1. Give me one, Kameko. It's a different level. You can do it in scrims. You can do it in groups. You can do it in the knockout stages. A grand final is different gravy. Now, it must be noted, Twisted Minds have not been without their headcups in this tournament. First two games against Burya come to mind. They were a shambles. Looking at the head-to-head as well, Vittira and Mark Kamoon are just favours Vittira. Historically, 13-11 JB for Mark Kamoon. He's looking like he's in career best form. He's had an early mistake. We'll see how he bounces back. I know he can't bounce back. Sometimes just look himself in the cam, but it's never reflected in his gameplay, or at least not off the ball. Oh, but no! Monkeven trying to slay the near post-off corner. I think he had a look at it there. Azo, I'm going to try and go back forward. I'm also not tapping on available. Monkeven on the clear. TRK, target mad, can't find the scare. Now Poe finds the port. Azo, fantastic semi-batter for him. Looks incredible. Against Vitality all the way to game 7. CRK blocked out Field as well. You can see Juicy in the corner now. But in early misses, Smith and Maitz get tell they played that earlier semifinal. They're not looking as hot. Vittoria is no. Well, how did that stay out? You're absolutely right, CJ. The last time Twisted might play, we didn't have a big announcement. Dungeons Jets, they've been forced away in stew. Look at him try and get themselves in the front, but that's what I want! Sadie! Well, Muckimons, he's entered his fourth line since World was a nice little dickie. Again, going for the three-time. If that skirt's not enough, he's going for Paris as well. He's never satisfied this guy. It's why he is in the minds of many that go already. It has been a shaky stop. Yeah, shaky stop. Yeah, he's making mistakes despite all that experience. And my play's so aggressive. He's twisted my escape. Here is Vatira, Batty, Claw 50, Assault 2 points, 2c's to the top! Claw 50! Tommy Claw! No strangers to a grand final! 2-0 straight from the up! And you can see the mental preparation for the game. They weren't in free play from the baller and they weren't in the back. They weren't talking to the culture, rather the coach actually was talking to them. he knows and they know has former champions themselves instead it's just like this one with not quite as many fans in the building but definitely a lot better that's over the goal I'd say okay see that tick every box in the warm-up their preparation as you said seconds and not such a professional outfit a professional organization Lutira well still needs that well championship but how about a fourth major victory how do you think pretty nice there's plenty of time to work we're here with Twisted Mines Off the backboard, nobody available. TRK looking to try to throw a set up. Straight back out there. Mr. Mines needs to maintain the aggression that they've had so often. The ball being in field means somebody is taking a shot. Now Poe takes the ball up high, it's going to be no follow. Off the cross outside of that corner, low boost as well, but he's done incredibly. Just to work the ball downfield, Mr. Mines hasn't really found their foothold yet. TRK pops it up top, looking for the bomb, looking for Batty. Batty has now moved to Red-Raid. He gets buffed himself and they've overcommitted. Back to the midfield, chance to break away, Casey. You want to put this game to bed? That's how it gets to the block and I realise first that GFK needs some help. Now, but how the fuck you do? Reformed and left on the clock. Twisted mind's still got to really put anything forwards. Yeah, but wondering when they got back in the start, they did it against Furia, but that took two games before they really showed up. They've done it plenty times throughout this tournament. He's got the offensive fireball, but is it enough? Oh, taking a bunch of... It's Ato! Ato! Getting bumped into the ball, he retracts, come underneath. Wow. But he's ended up working the ball off Juicy. What's up, the tear up. The tear up missed out as well. He might have actually just missed out, tried to read something different, but he definitely kept flying in at an awkward angle, failed to make contact. It turns out he kicked off that Christmas. He's quite light, they're under a lot of pressure, shreds me off. Now Moe looks back for a much move, pushes it into a reasonable safety from now for 30 seconds and twisted minds will just meet one chance. They've got to get busy 20 seconds now. Juicy wants to get up off a two-goal. Off a third goal, the body's looking for the soul, but he gets it up. It's gone! Oh! It's just too easy, Juicy. She reminded everybody that Garmin Gox Devise was massively overstated overstated and his as an individual even more so he has done this in the grand final of a land of four he's pumped off the carry team's victory looking to do it again and play less commandant so much criticism he had the hardest role ever replaced Raleigh and that's how it looks like one more but And the board, a hat trick for Trusse and the batty goes. I must say, forgive the board now, you know. Two does, I don't like to see Monkeboum David. In that, you've got to try something in less than 10 seconds to go, but it didn't work out and can't see. How about with the game on foot? It's going to shake you start for Trusse and Martin. It started with that Monkeboum with off the side ball, just to open up, face these accounts and they built from this. It's now for Michael for one more and they might get one more, you know what I'm saying? It could be important for Mikey to reach confidence. Yeah, they reset, and they have reset very well. Not just during this tournament, but during their time together. They remind themselves, they can make the grand final. Over in Mina in that opening event, that was already as well as Stallions. Yeah, so this is a team that I'm not too worried. She asked yet. The other KC have been watching Stallions versus Westeros in my three plays. They've just figured out how to beat KC They repeat Twisted Mines in particular, Twisted Mines in their own region really struggled against the 4th seed. It's such a bizarre thing to see in me now. They're beating Falcons, beating R-A, but not stallions specifically. Maybe on the other hand, the chopper fight watching, the replays seem to be... Well, they should have. They should have, but we talk about the Vittira-Atto combo, but it's juicy. The fine form was this. There's a hat trick in game one, because that maybe we go, and that strategy has been susceptible to the momentum, to the pressure. If he can be that striking force downfield, I mean, it unlocks material in Ato as well. It's a fantastic game one, if you're a KC supporter. I want you guys to talk to me real quick about the caliber of players. Let's say, suddenly he's heard, oh my goodness, what is this brilliant announcement for Rockley? Oh, you know what, I'm going to check out some of their gameplay as well for a grand final. just the accolades on this six person lobby. Where do we even start here? We don't have the time to go through them all. The game will come faster than the accolades can be listed, but even the lowest, the player with the lowest amount of accolades in terms of 3v3 is a 1v1 World Champion. So you've got a stacked list of champions. You can argue that 1v1 World Championship is as well as where the pressure is at its highest. As you've got no teammates to rely on, we'll see. If that team just bounce back, twist of mind, we're going to tie this here as Casey. What a start for them. Yeah, this is the game where it becomes very important to respond to response. As we mentioned, grand finals. So difficult to find your footing. Very sore earlier on, just how good Sad Juniors timeout buff can be. I don't think he's too keen on using it just yet. No, not at all. Think back to the last night in the World Series against G2 in the final, they got blood in game 1, came back in game 2, but that was a very different team that we've got here today. A team that had just come off the back of another event win. So I think even harder basketball ahead of this advantage at the moment. Two huge bumps, another double commitment, it's a twist of mind. Special play still get out of trouble. Rift comes through for Juicy, does unlock Atoe in behind as well as the reset. Oh, little Atoe! No, the double drop down! Just saved! And Lockerman had to keep his cool. No, his only way to play that was to try and play for the clear. But KC are swarming them at the moment. Look at the trade, a ground-twisted mines of no pressure. It's nothing there for now, but, yeah, nothing much longer. They had a chance there though, KC down the other end with the demo, but Atoe just wasn't back in time, almost a counter-attack for Twisted. The back-in 17 fits in the offense so quick, mark your move, up in the air, off the wall, KC far the way out. I agree, twisted-minds, their shoes, all turn around, mostly bring defensive, I think their offense is looked as good if not better than anyone else in the tournament. KC and the team that's undefeated, the fifth and the more well-rounded squad, it's made it to the grand final. I mean, this is a team that won a match earlier on in the tour, not by scoring 10, it can see... Whoa! Oh, get it on, honey! What's happening here, man? That's right. To the solo, off the roof. Doesn't get the reset. Actually, thanks for the reset. Doesn't get it at all. Wow. That one wasn't ready. How did he get that? So much on target. It didn't look like he could slot that. Not far in the corner, but he managed to get it on target. A double-play kickoff by KC. Back of it. It's all over in the... No, be careful here, KC. Thanks if it's here. I can get it up here. And it just keeps going wrong here for Tristan Mines. Need something to break that way. Monkermoon on the turn. But for Tener, it's got an angle double tap. Sets up, Juicy can't get to the retire. Yeah, but I like his patience. He's going to be able to keep the ball in off the side. Look how quick Ato is going to fall off as well. KC looking for their second Juicy. Trying to find for Tera. He's got to go himself instead. Just delay. You can see they have no loose KC. But he's waited for the reinforcements and they might arrive enough to see Ato off the wall to the corner. corner, can he find the middle, can he fake it across, do an infecacida back off. Not very touch as well, but Tierra, demo, it's Napo, it gets that's on, fuck me one more chance, it's on! Even on a bump, to watch out for there, Ansel is unbelievable with the goalie. This is Ed to Ed's stuff, with Juicy looks to 50 to 50, TRK manages to get that one clear, but Tierra just like receive plenty takes today, no unfreeze to slow the plate down, Oh, oh, oh! Something like this here to skate. Actually, he just lands on a KC out of trouble once again. He goes juicy up top. He's looking for the delay. Looking for the help. It's got to be at toe. It's got to be at toe, what a save. How are we still at 1-0? Juicy on the playoff. Sealing. Reset. Numb boat. Second touch. Against Vatera. It's unavailable. Not quick enough. He's just waiting for that second man to be in the right spot. There's an opportunity for you to go to position yourself. Absolutely perfectly. He's now off the roof. 13 boost. Hooks to the buck. TRK underneath. As he's monkey-moon, Trist and March get attacked. So many walks, a cut to the rotation, so many bumps, so many players trying to surprise each other, but Zavo, everyone in the lobby, keeping up with the pace of the game. This one might be looking better though. Backfond. That one's not gonna last! And for Zera, wouldn't put on target anyway. Next one, for Zera, looking around. I've got doughnuts across the board, it's just TRK with a hundred proofs, this has got to be a bit trouble for Twisted. And TRK does get dusted, there's the 50, much of an early jump, and a flip and a hominal free jump as well. They're not out of danger just yet. TRK, clears out, juicy open angle for him, melt for the pass, lucky move, try to just hassle, get rid of the way of everybody he possibly can see, and get that lucky man blocked, and it takes so long that the chance has disappeared! TRK refuses to get flayed, so Twisted large key pushing forward, Now Poe into the corner will be at the scrupe up the hundred boost, takes it up top, can twist to get to work. Can now Poe get to work! Shut up! Just back to our toes! First the Mages trying to get the attack going, they keep running out of boost but then some of them get the attack alive. Another save from Attira, KC here in survival mode. Now Poe on target! To double save! The double save coming through Monkevin, off the corner, KC with zero boost and they found a way out! It's on targets. TRK will climb round the 100. He's on his way, not running out of time. 20 seconds, but twisted mind to find an answer. Gotta get busy right now. Right this instant, Juicy popping it up. Casey, what the second game win? Now both intercepts material underneath. Twisted with 10 seconds. That comes TRK. How can he magic miss into a spot? Double commit, Juicy up against Moki Moon. Bumped down the position. One second, twisted by Jake Saludin! KC survived. And that intensity... ...much to have been unbelievable. How could they keep the ball out of the back of the net? Twisted were just piling on the pressure. That was put nine shots up. Nine! Nine! KC hit six shots. No, no quite, Nadeshots, the rest of the lobby conveyed, also had Nadeshots, it's just had Nadeshots and no goal. The positive is, poor Twisted Minds, who saw this against Furia, two games in, they were slow to get the ball rolling, they couldn't find the back of the net, we were praising Furia's defence, they were scoreless, it's got one goal across those first two games, but each game they still had more shots, if they can start finding the back of the net it would turn for them. And probably the least surprising news you'll get today is that Chris DeMines is taking that time out. If anything, you've got a ice atone. It's a defense, they're the board. It's just a team casey. Chris DeMines might have the best offense, but casey's offense is not far from it. And their defense just seems to be a level apart. They're so difficult to score on. that same situation we saw. Clislamites against Führer. Sadjuna calls the timeout 2-0 down. In that instance, they won four games on the bounce. This is KC though. Did you see much of a police cell change post and breathe that timeout against Gaya? Yeah, the post, or the pre-sore, was let's double commit and miss the ball. Afterwards, it was let's double commit and hit the ball. Did double commit, Stimbele, stop. That's for sure. I think Munchie Vood absolutely just elevated his game off that timeout. We saw him become that best second man anyway. He's just cutting rotation constantly. He's looking for the extra pop. If he's under the ball, he wants to get a touch because he knows that TRK is going to be standing in for the follow up. I actually don't think they're going to make any massive changes here at Swimines because at the end of that game, they were all over KC. They all feel like they should have won that. Oh, wait a minute, the last one. Vatira needed to run away and get thrown back. Vatira's running back and it looks like he's had to go away for something. He doesn't want to keep us waiting, Vatira. He's not. He went for that timeout. He's going to get the hope up. He's done incredibly well. He's gone through a bar through a break in about 90 seconds of a timeout. But Sadjuna speaking to him last night, just about the timeout and how they approached things. He just, it basically was simple. He kept it incredibly simple for this team. It's just calm down. Calm the nerves. They're a quick enough team already. They don't have to worry about getting out paced by KC. Yeah. Because with the stats, they're the quickest team. the match to see Pam which should be obviously a very important step but let's see if they can do what they did against Buria, Twisted Mines already down to all and we've seen what can happen in Grand Finals in the past it's even harder to come back and Casey are a different level of opposition. Moving clear, straight to the par for Faxira, double commit so eight something's under the change, juicy straight back up. Monkman he's got the player but he's not got any supports. He's got to be the difference, he's got to be the Kyrgyz to twist the minds. Here's the shot, here's the other one! That's it, take one. As we see so often in Rumbley, one game you get nine shots and no goals, the next hit, you score your first shot. And it's the one, the off-world champion. The first to suffice in front. They've just got so many playmakers, so many difference makers on this customized team. Now, let's make it two! This should not shock anybody, because Twisted Minds, they do this to a lot of teams. And it's the 1v1 World Champ getting the isolation matchup. CRK finds the pop on Juicy, forces him off the side, forces him to commit early than he'd like. Now for just going to the fake, it's as easy as that. You know, top one tricky kickoff from KC. Arley have not flustered Twisted Minds with a double half flip. Arley from KC didn't delete their second one, so they're trying to mess with the Tavern. Twisted mines have scored two goals quickly off of them so kickoff sound. It looks like this is going to be midfield play so no immediate goal of this third kickoff of the game. A perfect start, have a twisted mines and another sad junior masterclass. They actually might have liked a little bit of time to talk to Matira about. You can find Eddie and his Matira. Little challenge here comes Napo. Two goals for the good, looking for the hat-trick. Maybe trying to find a setless wafer. I have a way, no one seems to be able to stop him. That's Monkey Moon. He tries to make it free. Well, the tier has to propose himself off that marker, break that break, they only propose themselves at the start of this game as well. Two early goals have been accused. Monkey Moon reset, goes wide, TRK. Keeping the heat on. We know they're going to outpace any team in the world. Monkey Moon, another reset, getting them some fun on the uptake. There's KC! Wow! Whoa! That's just what they do. There's a game in every series they've played. Even the series they've lost is a shelter by the group stage. They did this in Game 2. They just run the score up. Their offense is ridiculous. It looks like Tierra is taking all of that with Bulkins when he left them. And now it's up to a surprise. And we need a point out just how rare this is. This level of response in a Grand Finals. Casey, usually the team, they get to a Grand Final and just dominate. They did get shot by rebellions over in Copenhagen, over in Birmingham last year. It was a 4-0. They just tend to run away with it, but this time, Twisted Minds have got answers. They'll feel like they've been the better team for at least half of the series, because that second game, they'll feel like they were the better team towards the end of it, and hide the momentum should they go into oversight. Now they've run out of the way again. Three is Twisted Minds of the momentum, despite trailing by two games. Well, you can't give them a go-down shot to every game that's for sure. He's going to find the back of the net, and then head to some point. Juicy looks to the bottom. Okay, up top for Tira. Looks with a quick double. Juicy's actually just pinched this corner, of boots, off twisted lines, infield pass, no one there, it's looking to speed for a monkey red as well, but he's putting on the ball, their pace is catching out KC, the timeout so effective. Yeah, Sergio, what have you seen during these timeouts? Maybe see a free game from now on. It seems to be working out pretty a-okay. Now off the backboard, it's a preview, but CRK not at that option whatsoever, he's also deciding whether to play a faster twisted line between those two. It's all good though, you know these double commits, they're recovering so fast that They're right now into the pitch and they were made unreadable and it's just twisted mindsets of all of them right now. It's even like a touch. They might only get one. It's nearly what we saw from TSM. Kevin doesn't know what he's doing. He said that many a lot. Except it's just twisted mindsets and this is the right place in the world. They said that twisted mindsets are their biggest inspiration. You can kind of see it in the way that they play. It's just absolutely fascinating. There's pure chaos but if this is what they do all the time, they know what happens. A lot for their opponents, they've got to be fast. As you can see here, it looks like they're trying to make a game of it, but no shooting angle available. Do you see? He's left himself so much. That one's not going to be a massive flat, although it's just, mate. We've started to take a lot of problems last time. They're not getting it on the ball. And whatever, I'm just clarifying. I did send a ski dose, but it's working for them. Sierra gets knocked off, and Hatt's hope doesn't work. Would have had potentially a free backboard. Sierra K still just staggering in there. Hatt's going to find the shot. The shot zeroed, Moons coming through. Twisted minds are caught, the board is back, absolute down-ups. The Mucky Boots still puts himself in the right spot. In case he's not scoring out of that attack, with that much pressure, to put Twisted minds on the long straight, they just need to survive a little bit longer in the clock for BKC. This might go all the way back. It's not longer than the last game. I thought it was going to be crucial for having KC might need that and not get the win. It might be crucial to get in just to stay in this, There would have been two dominant games that I wrote for Chris in terms of the game play. I don't care if he's defense actually holding up nice and tough on the pitch. But it's just not quite enough. Maybe there's a time. Shots on target. The world world couldn't quite possible then. It's another save and a clean sheet with his most crucial for the confidence of his teammates off the time out to get their first game win on the board. Look forward to that triple match point. Good zero. Can he find some magic? Still time. 35 seconds. Soloway over one. The non-Azreal monkey made a bomb from the sorry Atoge, he created with physical close man as well. As is Twistedmire, every spotter with a demo, that might just be game 3. Well, KC, this isn't like your other grand finals pals. This opponent is not gonna go down without swinging at ya. Twistedmire free, looking to make it 4. Not gonna be the case at least for this one. But ladies and gentlemen, we've got ourselves a real grand final. Oh, yeah, they made a red support. Turn up, that's for sure. That's a last chance here to KC. This is a momentum their way, not to play. It's to the body, Twisted Mines. That adds up to quite a long time. Okay, see if they play defense. They weren't able to get out of the end there. Second half of the game, they were going back and forth with Twisted Mines. Really good goal, but Twisted Mines are gonna feel pretty good right now. You know, for me too, I don't know. It's not really better. Game 3's and also end of game 2's you can get. It's a good looking one game deficit. It is, it really is. I see walls want some artists to this because I do not remember the last true offense they had. Yeah, their last clear cut chance for you. I think that should be our goal. It's been a while. So, like I said, you can't give one of the most mechanical players in the world, one of the fastest, if not the fastest players in the world, and therefore you can't give him nine shots in a game and expect him not to score a few of them. He didn't get any of the past KC in game 2, but as we saw here, he could pick the spots in Grand Finals. He could do it. Surrounded by French fans, bulletins. He's not pleased by this. It's just the speed of this team is exhausting for anyone that might need a best of seven. We just saw a couple of those goals, particularly that second one where Juicy, he went for the challenge and he's just not expecting the instant turn from TRK with the pop. They just keep sticking to their guns. They know that they're the quickest team. They know they have the best offense. The defense will figure itself out. We saw screenshots during the show of our rebellious years of these guys. Basically, all in the same spot. Triple credit again there. But they don't concede because they're so quick. Aim number four. Is it triple? Championship line for KC. Our twisted minds. Right back into this. We're about to find out. We're five minutes away. Press mics just continuing exactly where they left off. They are all over them. Watch out, Twisted Mates are coming, no pull with a gear stump, and then a Sander as well as it comes back down. Trucey at the tier against a Smarthill, he out here with a finish. It's twice in a row, they've been rocked off the kickoff, off the bounce, off game one, twisted. Can they make it 2-0? Can they keep the party rolling here? Can they tie this series? He gets on for it all right now, KC. They're looking like they're in a bit of stride, Jogger. And the purpose we wouldn't be making as much of a big deal about this if there wasn't a historical precedent at this tournament. The Oreo went through the same thing. They were doubling it. Oh, that's not bad. It was open. It was wide open for juicy. He went for the corner. I think he went for the wall double, but it looked like improvisation. Or there's something in him in there, Johnny. Yeah, we look here, it's just straight under the cover. Shot that, or an angle, and he closed himself. I mean, he hit himself at a possible angle there. missed the double from point-blank range and I'm with you guys I think KC as well having you know had the three match points against Vitality going all the way to game seven they've shown a little bit of weakness with the lead today a twist of mind with the comeback against Furious starting to make us believe Rooming clan two players went for it. I'm not sure if you can say that anymore it's just someone given. Okay I'll thank one after on his way. The chance is for T1, for KC, but Kandis, the source has got the powers now, for God's event! That is unbelievable! Got a break from Juicido, just to be ready, here's Mighty Moon, he's going to take it upstairs with Tira underneath, with the 50 minutes, only going to land in the lap, it's the AK, does get fucked off the ball, but Tira does well, see the AK still sneaking around like a bad spell, send the outflow, doesn't find the fuck, no, Fatsy coming up clutch, and the Twisted are just clawing, they're just coughing. And it's obvious, double touch, that is unbelievable. And it's so necessary. KC needs something, anything to go that way. They have been up against him for so long. Butchera off the airfield, butchera's got to wait for it to break. That's his other backboard, monkey man still too quick, he doesn't care, he's just gonna keep committing. That's how it grows it up. KC has been their best chance yet, but KC has found himself downfield with the reset intercepted for Tira catches. KC are looking better though. For Tira, reset, pass one. That's the bump. Lovely little pass to the side. But now you've got a bump, you've got two! You've got back to it! Spitting for two! It's not enough! They've got to be there for that. KC haven't scored in almost 10 minutes. They need to trust each other in the center while this coming through. Here it is again. Tira! FATTY GOAT! On the world stage! Re-stech over monkey mode! How do you like that? All eyes on him! It's not your stage! You've come to Paris! You've got to take down FATTY! Incredible. Absolutely incredible from FATTIRA. CRK, can you twist the minds? Find that answer response. Can Tristan Mines find that answer response? That's a little wet shot. See the reflection of that corner, 1v1 World Champion. Like you see the demos downfield as well. That quicks the arcade of turn on this. He's looking for the dunk, blocked by Atom. One each. Casey finally are back into this. Has Tristan Mudge going to hide a snooking down here? How about the fake factor? It's up, man! It's up! The Twisted Mines weakness comes back to Honda. They do love to commit, not just double-commit them all, double-commit them one part of the pitch, they've got two on the back where they're funky, but again, like he after this, tilted in real life. But the snake with the foot, man, if you can damn well twist the Mines, sorry man, they're one of the most vulnerable teams in the game. There's got to be gaps in that defense, there has to be, their offense is nearly two-none, too quick, and Twisted Minds are spotting up on that occasion, he's too quick. So Sierra, downfield, KC, this is a huge game for them, this game for them, get that 3-1 lead, if they can get on to a triple match point, Twisted Minds have got work to do, just don't ruin a minute 30 left. Well they've already managed to a right throw, Twisted Minds, who are on a roll. Great challenge, and suddenly KCL right back to the form we expect for them. Leclerc doing exactly that, Atta, gonna just test the goalkeeper. They seem to be looking good at the moment. Sometimes they're just a little bit too quick for their own good. I think KC are waking up to the chances to the opening. It's a two-in-a-two game. Alphard, don't worry about Montus. He actually on that CRK has to come up here. He's not going to get a kill. Like the ball is something out of control. It remains KC. How do we know to push forward? Just a minute left. He's going to get desperate to twist it. They're great to last minute here. Forklift's in mind. This game is the swing game. Either they're going to tie the series Or, SKC with triple championship point. What a competition that was, by the way. Just take the opportunity away. 45 seconds now left on the clock. TRK with the first throw of the dice. He's got Maki Boon up in support. Looked at Mathura, couldn't find it, and now a chance of breakaway. Just that's over. Just that's over. The ball down by the inside reset. He does. Oh, look, Juicy. He doesn't have much boost to go to the pop. To himself, points two actually. Maki Boon with a collect. 25 seconds. seconds twisted minds it's now or never now on the way that's all for for everybody see our keys on his way to it off the backboard there's no follow though. Munchamoon underneath where is the AK Munchy wants one more that's what he does he can't rotate shit now post shit up a free collect he's looking for the left side of the pitch it's 10 seconds it's juicy Munchamoon challenge twisted minds looking like a 3-1 deficit KC walk that triple match point Can they get it? Balls still up. Attoys, walkies, ball down! One more game. When we came here to Lyon, the board champions were not French. The Wombi won champion, but they sent a cross from them. And France finally win on home turf. Johnny, they're so close. Yeah, it's either a big win or a minor win, but with the monkey-moon, majority French on Twisted. But for KC, it would really feel like the bigger French win, not just the players, but the org as well. Three championship points. You've got it back from here. Just when it looked like Twisted minds had turned it around and taken control of the series, But Tira, with the double tap, once again, I mean, even as staunchest haters can't meet on his gameplay, he just keeps delivering. He's the greatest major player in history. And now they really do have full control of the Grand Final. Well, as the GOAT of today, against who could very well be the GOAT of the future, he calls himself Matty GOAT. We might all have to just accept it soon enough. What a warm-up for the World Championships if he wins Paris the biggest event we've had in Rock really gets through the biggest crowd in our eSports history as well, 3-1, KC. No more time out, we saw the time out, but for one, Gag Twisted, they threw out the bounce, let's dance. Here we go. It's a long road from here, Twisted. But we know they can do it. We know how far they've been at times, but no mistakes, only brilliant. You've got to save that to start with. He was going to say that. Munkamoon was trying to lure you on the 100 Boots, now he's turned them up three laps. He could have collected in time. That's the pressure that KC are putting on. You've got to go for Plan B or Plan C against this team, against the Blue Wall. When they're striking like they are great, they're on the 2C. Just releases a little bit of pressure. The Twisted Minds have been all up there all the way. Somebody there. Munkamoon has a still to boost. CRK involved. This is a good start here for Twisted Mindsmen. How quickly can they let KC out? That's been a long, long, long, long, long. Monkermoon on the clear. That's the RK on Chase. It pops actually for them. Atto, good for the double, it's on target. Here's the next one up, but Sierra just plays for time. Now touch, now touch it for Fatsy just to pop it up. Atto to the side now, by Mojboos. Monkermoon wants to get involved. He hasn't quite had the effective cuts that we saw from him in the semi-final. Yeah, it really looks to me like they're trying to drop back the over the grass, They typically get scored on the counter to put KSKC ahead in the last game. This is taking a bit of this thing out. It's just a nice attack to Jasper. I reckon they need to just do it their way. Just starting to full send it again. Because when they were doing that earlier, maybe they just don't dial back as much as they are now. It was working. You can see KC are happy to let them hit the balls sometimes, whereas they're not trying to match them in that speed battle and it's working. They're barring out the commits. Is he okay? He can't get them in time. Is he on for hit for a now hold, guys? It doesn't look like it, what's the weather, I'm asking. Could have been a boomer ball at the moment. Oh, Monkeymour, come on, look ahead. Gets good in time. The pressure that KC are putting on, we're not quite seen. That's with the Mines player downfield either. We saw it with CRK, with Monkeymour. In that semi-final, they always lose the strex for defense. They're threatening the counter-attack at any moment, but right here, there is big trouble. Come on here! What?! KC! Oh, that's just far too easy. But a tight mistake from TRK, the end field dribble, the classic error that requires to send season one of our LCS ten years ago. You don't see the challenge, government enabled them all like that, but you can't to it feel it less your nose height. The mountain could not be higher, the challenge could not be more. Twisting minds won't have you gods, or is it just case these worlds? After a game, pitch down fielder to here, it's 1-2. Bajimou is up, Bajimou, he gets the redirect. Two C underneath, zero boost. And now Atto, to the counterattack, the two-man combination. The 1-2 punch from KC, can make it their second. And that closes the road, twisted. Off the backboard, Batera, but Atto is just taking his time. Back down again, every 50 years going KC's way. But here's Nalpho, wants to get a 50%. Here goes Bajimou, hits that, scores! Another minute two in, Machimut with the trusted no-ball, 350. CRK is parked in the front of us, you'll saw it, don't you? Given Machimut the openness, and Evan in the middle puts it through. Machimut, who else? The presence of minds that just take his time in that situation, recognizing that he had the defender exactly where he wanted him with, the bumpers, well twisted, get that all-important fertilizer. A huge two-minute coming up. Back log, now for us to play a time, he's got all the boost in the wall. So what can he do? What can he cook up? What if the passing point gets stopped from FKC? Chris and Mainz didn't react to it though. I guess you're just launching the ball at the moment. Nice patience though from Mike Canard. He gets to reset himself, doesn't find the clock. They can beat that first and second man. Does he chance like this? What a play! Follow-up from the up-point. And so has the pre-jump. That's move to catch. An incredible jump from him. It's TRK. Still trying to push forward. Still looking to attack. Twisting lines. Looking to keep KC pinned in there and in this position KC It's part of that pressure We started on in the series with somebody's really ugly seal the ropes there But is it gonna be get to the case he survived or is it gonna be game three? We're getting here fell apart for no, it's looking for like it to put some a scape by the way through It's just hanging the ball right now. They say there's gonna be a window for twisted minds in this last minute Or is it another Orchard in there? Mark, you move this time back to leave us an out-mode-with-boost. And he gets the first man. It's Juicy Pitch. Mark, you move in nice positioning. Now you get the clearance, twisted minds. They're looking on top. They can happen up anywhere. Casey will not need a score in 10-out-10. They just need to score anything. Oh, enough solid effort, T.M.K. What can you do? He don't want to know. It's the task, Mark, you're very under it. Actually, miss is the boost. If he comes through, this is danger. here for twisted that down and out through the upload want to see you got to go what is he going to look up it's the pinch to see back for 30 seconds left okay now post good top the hundred boots as well twisted minds that would have been to see regulation so to get the second game and on the board they see who's got other ideas so onto the ceiling he's left himself so much going to do he needs the help and it's all the way in the form of a chair up Looks like I can't get the change isn't gonna find it. TRK gets a huge start, just juicy. Does he want to find a read, goes up the wall next end. Early jump, TRK, early pop, low boost. Dusty grabbed 100, Huckaboo wants in, two seconds. It's looking like an overtime. Quotees might want a call, but that's over. No one, Huckaboo, three set, down. Could this be it? Well, got the kickoff stress. Both teams have a sneaky rhythm. We do got pretty sad to run back, but it's here, though, so we might get a midfield play. It's actually the last overtape of the match. One goal to win it all! If your name is Casey! Bash air up. Looking to try and clear it. There's nobody around. Lock him in. Into a knurl post. Does he get this forward? Back forward! There's no one available for twisted minds! Sati counter attack off the work. Doesn't have boost himself so many outposts. He'll be able to collect. And does so. He takes it up. No early pre-jump from Casey. If you find the bump, if you find the ball, you'll be walking in. Juicy! Adventurer with the demo. Casey, you're out! Juicy clears, straight to Markimoo, not the best first sub-credit, he's just got such a set of 50-50. Despite having almost no boost in the whole team, Gissie push-out to halfway, they've actually found a way out of defense there. Still clean, now nobody's sitting back, no they're fine, it's up to the best toll. A lot of space through Markimoo, they're clear from the tier, he's very low now, but with a hundred nice catch, Juicy. Early pre-jumps, you'll find a Fizzy in the back corner, it's an all-compact, it's a Markimoo shot, but it's still hard enough. Yeah, okay, so low up there though, gonna have to just take the challenge. Any mistake is the last mistake. But Tira can't get a good enough challenge, just because he's got three moves using both, my friends. Atato, can he find any way out? Yes, he will. They look like they're trying to bait, it puts him eyes in. They've already scored a general attack so many times against him. They want Tia to overextend, they want him to double commit. He's ever not falling for it right now. 1-0 pops it up, it's 0-1 on the scene, off the roof, anyone home? That's actually awkward here for now, but we go to the side, it's TIK, gets removed from the pitch. Is it KC? He's going to attack. He's in their time in the sun, here in Paris, under the Eiffel Tower, minute 45, got it, overtime, twisted. Wanna keep this series alive? I'm sorry, I don't watch anything, but... It's in the back! It's in the back! It's in the back! Oh! It comes to the center, keep this going! TIK gets there in time! Twisted mind! How am I supposed to survive? And now it's an utter calamity over on the back line! Well, I've been out of the danger area, but they're not completely scared free. Here comes Jucy again, back foot tonight, you know. Hard to in the area though, I've been fending for entirely to the same ball. Jucy okay with Bruce, and here he is, on ball, has to keep it. He's done incredibly well, Markhamoon, push you downfield. They might have won a moment of rest right here, but it's gotta come back. It's gotta come back with a severe interest for Tira. Works them all downfield, fakes the pitch, releases Jucy. Monke move, off the roof, can he find one more? Oh my god, okay, with a bit, but Tira's low boost. RKC, this is stress, it's stress by that one, they're getting pushed to the max. Two and a half minutes of OT. But Tira's got some time, he's got juicy, look at the double, and there's a double commit, but what a catch there from that one. Recept, Recept, I'm out for this. He tried to get the second, doesn't quite landed, it's Monke man off the wall. ZLK has to back off. The pace, absolutely frenetic in this grass, It's all here in Paris, it's nice to be able to get to work. He takes it up top, he might have TRK on the right, the pop-recept, can he get the backboard? Atock to X. What's with Sime says, get the big double command moment without getting scored up. It can't be turned that too often, even the team must not for it, making it work. We've got to face up the cops. How has this got to feel on the field? Backboard, Atock to X! Oh! Charlie Patero, the bad boys, anyone has a tiffy! The numbers show this, you're a boost! They're in a world of hand-y and twisted minds! They've gone out through Monkey Moon, actually with the player, the space now, and yet, one can breathe! And we're breathing at any point! Absolutely not! This is why we come to these events! Monkey Moon couldn't find the reset for himself, so his team have got a reset and go again! It's time to tell Fairfair further about year. The ball's starting to play among the pitch. Twisted may use a lock to play that sailor off the league. That's what Munky has been doing his whole career. T-R-K lost it as well, especially in Grand Finals. I thought he'd not put me into either. There's the F9 Tracer slaughter stone, the NGNs in turn, my control back. Now, everything KC starts a triple commitment, and they had a chance, I was three out of. Well, back, come back to buy them, that's the question. We nearly played two games of rock. Here in game five, four minutes, 20 gone. TRK to the side, he's low blues. He's gonna pop it up, Juicy, hit the legs across. Two of them. Oh, my God! Oh! He has to get it on! That's a trio of them! Until God finish the job! Napo on the way! Ritchie, okay, look at the demos! On his way, hit, monkey move. Can't fall to lose that chance, so he doesn't. The low purrs, Napo's got to collect, recent lines have KC, exactly where they want them. They've got a round one. Napo, you want to see, okay, he did a trust bit, but they're still alive, still in the corner. Metira, so much pressure on every touch. An overcommit, could be the difference to decide this game. Napo with a fake. Need some support after that, mom. Here comes the pass. As long as we're suddenly starting for now, we hope 20 twist of minds are all the way back, yet again. As per each this is a win for KC. They defend it by corner, well the ball is close, approximately to the net, but none of them panic. Get the drill, get the ball, and I say, location. Every cheffery ball just has two members, on either side, going for it. And a police detraint. Super Sonic's man every single time. There's a double three for... And that will mean more than any of them. KC, get over the line. Four, four, four major championship, and it's a four, it takes three. No one else has got three. He's got four, no one else has got three. He's in the league of the Zoma and it comes to major. And they came in as the fourth seed. Oh, it's good to see you. KC, do not take it to our champ someday. against Shulker fight making it into the grand final. They played a phenomenal tournament. Letting everybody know the meanest falloff is far from true. They're going to be here to compete at every event they play at. And it had to be at a winner. He missed multiple chances, multiple free double taps. In that overtime, they're going to double commit from Shulker fight. They've seen it all tournament long enough. That's how they do. They've just got to keep going. They've got to keep going. That's what they do. They've just figured it out. Not against KC. They're too good not to punish. You're Paris Major Champion, Gordy Cobb! The ones who miss who are here to present the champions to the wards, the O.T. of the And your Paris Major MVP, the Jira! Oh Wow! Unreal! You can see the passion never dies. No matter what, no matter how many times you won before, this means everything to every single one of these players. At hope. For you, it feels like effort is the front and foremost story here, the work you've been putting in to make sure you belong on the stage and lifting that back trophy. Talk to me about the blood sweat and tears you put in about the blood, sweat and tears you put in for this team and why it means so much to you. So much work, Ato. So much work, Ato. You worked hard to get here. You have an incredible amount of income today. It seems to represent you a lot for you, Génès Major. What did you achieve? The more work you did and for your team. Why did you work so hard? We had a rather complicated split. We didn't win a single tournament. I think we did a single final in the regionals and we had an excellent preparation for the Major. It felt like we were better than all the other teams. I'm just happy to win in front of you, especially because of my family, so I'm doing my best. Thank you everyone! of happy juicy I feel like you're the unsung hero you're always there and you're always winning they don't talk about you enough tell me about why you You love the chemistry of this team, and how you guys fit together so well, why do you just keep on winning? If you're a little bit of a secret weapon, we're not always talking about you, but to try you're here, to try to win, and you've been exceptional today because you can talk a little bit about how important it was for you to win today, and how do you think it was a pleasure to win it with this team? Well, frankly, I'm with half an hour of the world, frankly, we're out of the game, there's nothing to say. I don't have much to say, I mean I have the two best players around me in-game, but outside of the game as well, we are so fun, we have so much fun, I don't have much to say, just thank you guys, I am so happy, we did it! I'll get you in a second, sir. But extra. Oh! You've been around a while, my man. It's good to see you again. You're up here on the stage and lifting trophy with these boys. What I need to tell you, you to tell me right now. Just how gash dang proud you are of these three right here. It's been a long time, it's been a long time that Lepite knows you. It's been a pleasure to see you on stage. What do you have to say? What do you think? It's been a pleasure to meet these three. Guys, it's been a pleasure. If you knew where we're coming from, we're coming so far. All my apologies for the split, honestly. But we worked hard for Snorjor and we deserve it. You know, guys, we can't even talk about the way we were thru-thru, I mean, I'm so sorry about the stage, but we did our best. We practiced so much and we just did it so happy. Thank you everyone. Hey. You wanna watch this? Honestly guys, I have three best players in the world. Coach up too easily. I'm too proud of you guys. Little special mention for the guy on my right. This guy is the fucking Goat. I don't know anything about him. Never doubt him, you bastard! Never doubt him, you bastard! Catch Major! Catch Major! There's no one else who can do it. Catch him! That's right, that's right, no one can do four major! I'm not going to put the mic on him. And we're going to give him the mic, but he's so proud of all of this team, and it was so easy to catch them. He's so happy about what happens. But what about the Goat? He's that's right now. That's the Goat. That's the guy. I don't have a question. You're the MVP. The mic is yours. The stage is yours. The world is yours. What do you got to say to them? There's no question for you. The stage is yours and MVP has just won. The whole world is looking at us with his passing. He's got everything he needs to say. It's now. The stage is yours. I don't know what to say, guys. With the two of you, look at the stage. Look at you. We did this in Paris, we won in Paris. I have four majors, MVP, I have a crazy team. They're the best players in the world. I have the best coach in the world. I can't do more. I'm broken. Everything is gone. Thank you all for your hard work. It's like you're weak. Hands are empty. Which means it's time to put something else in them. Go and lift that jumping at one more time and everyone! Please put the noise for your parents! Major champions! Come on, go! was kind of the only thing left for French teams to accomplish in rugby win in France. Took a while, you know, there's a member of this desk that has beaten some French players in Paris. Thank you, Rocket, for getting it from by to me through a show match, by the way. It has taken a long, old while, but it feels like a fairytale. For these players especially, for Vitira, when you look towards the accolades throughout the RLCS games, he is now near that top level. It's just truly special, yes. Vitira, he's still haunted for that world championship, But you know this one feels even better than a world championship. This is in Paris. This is in France. He won it for his fans. And what a performance from him the entire weekend. And it's not often I get to say that turbo-pulsive, the greatest of all time, has company. Four-lan wins in the RLCS. Vittira, the only other person in the world to have won fourth. Turbos were world championships, but it was a different era. the world championships of them. He's one of the greatest of all time. And also bear in mind the monkey man on that stage as well. By the way, applauding when they went down to pick up their trophies, seeing his former teammate turned me on the stage as well. Extra going for a professional handshake and monkey man just went nah and gave him the biggest bear hug is wonderful to see applauding. They seem on the players give to each other. They lift each other up to get to these points and extra has again won on the lamb. It really is remarkable. It's just truly remarkable for monkeyman as well too because like you just never know when it's gonna be your last one up there right? I'm not saying that is what's happening here from monkeyman but you can appreciate when someone does something so great like winning this Paris Major and he could recognize greatness like no other the goat of rocket being so. Congratulations to K for Well deserved. I mean, definitely well deserved. I mean, hey, beat your little mates. He's about to out it two times. Beat your little minds. Undefeated. Undefeated. Coming in as the EU number four seed. Lots of question marks. Can they replace Drowley? Juicy's not working. Are they not meshing? It's just not going to happen. They need somebody else. No, they don't. Break in between them. Open number six. Tiff, I read. Yeah. May all the dividends happen. And then... But the non-major championship material. They have made it clear. It's not a matter of recipe. The all the ingredients are here for the greatest team of all time If they want to take that title from NRG who's currently holding that title The most consistent team in rock the most consistent team in the world come apart clearly has all the pieces And you know the fact that at the start of this season even right before this lap I was one of them so what down to calming cool Is this this still that kind of roster that's gonna strike fear in the hearts of the rest of the world? I was a bit of a silly Billy because clearly that in one you see them Obviously they were going to but then let me just credit to their work ethic as well, right? They were the EU foresees no one will take a prediction and say yeah You foresee that is gonna win these are size gifts except for cake Is the difference right they are so hungry you know that they can be back at the world's best and they had time to prep for the most important events they got until. And Wayne, you brought the excellent point in NRG. My estimation is no talent team. Probably a great team of all time. They got to get things done. Another world championship, another major. Ever since Atom Batara formed back in 2024, that's when NRG2 formed back in 2024. NRG2, they got one major, one world championship, Atom Batara. Two majors to their name. They're looking for the world championship. We talked about the biggest roster move of the off-season. We talked about Trolley for tier K, but that's also Trolley leaving K-Port to join that team. They lost the best player in the world at the time, and Juicy comes in and fills those shoes not only here, but also for France as well when they won the FIFA E-Cup. So Juicy, man, hats off to him. That is tough shoes to fill, and he filled them up. Extra now, major champion as a player, world champion as a player, Major champion as a coach, he's there on the building his own legacy as well. Farah let people like him, he can actually replace him. Farah's tactician, no Farah's still Farah moved on within the organization. Extra stepped into his shoes, took a little while from that. They've already won the Copenhagen kickoff and we don't count that as a land. A proper RCS land. Pretty good, but it's still pretty good. And then of course now winning in Paris, man. The sky's the limit for this thing. And putting the whole world on notice at the keys arena, holding in, raining major champions with the way this competition went here so it feels like it's their world championship to lose. A monkey moon I think I believe that he was on a six win streak at the point that the Dickies World Championship was announced that has now been ended here on our we reset going into the World Championship it is a really scary time I think to be any other team because we looked at his seven finals both of them went to seven we were thinking do we in the open area cheeky little game seven to an overtime game seven coming up shut it down in five But also the hit of work in that game five. That was a long over time They had some multiple double tap opportunities twist of mind. We talked about it's not really about their defense It's about their offense, but twisted minds kept Cape pork down on the offensive side and played Incredibly well throughout this and really made them work for that final goal. There was an incredible performance from the honestly like that that final that overtime it didn't we all it feels like most of the grand finals in the open area and in game 5 And it's also kind of interesting to me that we put sovereign heights in and it's the massive I like it But we kind of got a game six with how incredible that overtime was it was so frantic back and forth unless there's so many chances We saw after go up. I think showing identified it was a three double taps missed all of them You must be thinking after it's like No, no, no, no. I was just ending it. And not only that, like they just played Vitality, where they were up 3-1 in that series, and Vitality clawed their way back. K-Corp learned their lessons and closed the door early here. We have lots to talk about here. The team's coming down. They're going to try and grab one of them. I'm talking. There's one of them. I mean, they did just talk a lot. I know, Extra. The only thing that looks this way is... Extra. You all are quite loud right now, T-Basey. Extra for him. I don't think he actually is that loud. Extra. The sound waves go over. He's on camera. Let him. They're filming the The analyst is back. Back when extra was a player on BDS. We would interview him Basically weekly multiple times a week. Yeah, I'm the fifth analyst on the desk and now here you are with a coffee, sir Welcome back. Thank you How very very basic question feeling good Yeah, I have to forget What was it like you win the event, you hug your players, you walk around to shake the hands of the players on their side and Monkey Moon comes up and gives you a hug? I mean to be honest I love this guy and I will love him for the rest of my life because he's been my teammate for so many years and he's just like a brother to me and it's really hurting me that I have to play him in final but I will always respect him and for me he's is the goat, greatest of all time. And this won't change until Fettiro gets all championship. But how proud are you of these boys? You know, obviously, split you didn't go your way. The EU foreseed, but the bounce back, and to grind to get back to the world's best. So how proud are you? I'm so proud of my peers, honestly. They've been putting hard work for a month after the last regional. And it shows on stage, at least. So what's the next step? Obviously, we've got Dickies Arena coming up. Monkey, the dickie's arena. He's gonna be a big threat. It's also my place. Yeah Hopefully you can meet him in finals again incredible Well, sir anything you any final shout out to want to give to the blue wall to the Rock League fans I just want to say thank you to everyone for like supporting us all the way I know it's been like a hot spit for us But we showed what we are capable of doing and we will continue to do so you showed up one accounts here extra coach of the Karmicorps major champions and a world champion. Congratulations. Thank you so much for taking time to talk to us, sir. Clap and chat. Clap will take the time to give him back with his players. But an incredible, incredible day we have had, folks. These are the final points coming out of the Paris Major. Gibbs Karmicorps taking 36. 36 points. My favorite number, actually. The K-Corp coming in. Just what a performance for them. He said it was a tough split. Absolutely wasn't. But all that matters is what you do at the end. As long as you make the dance and they made the dance and then they were from King and Queen here basically so congrats the cake or huge The progressive accolades are words we calculate over the course of all lands in the 2026 season Here's the final standings coming out of Paris No, but taking the top spot there for playmakers Then sitting on top for savior and Nass spike going out in top six man. Look at him go It's still a tight race there We still got the world championship to decide all of these, but yeah, that's not all he's right there on each other A chronic as well with the same about say to all a decimal place Do we measure the save you because we need to split Zed and chronic at some point? I don't know. They're they're they're they're going to join neck and neck. I'm so I'm so kicking out And you asking them asking extra monkey minutes. There's this building right and him be like it's my building too They won their world championship together in Vicki's if you don't understand the backstory They make a real full body chills when he said that, by the way. Yeah, there's two reigning world champs or two world champions. Actually, many world champions because exotic also won a world championship in that building. So all the big teams showing up with power, all the big teams. And then also there's a team from me and what's not here, who will be here at the world championship. We got LCQ, the top four regions between these two majors. They got LCQ. And that'll be your scene as well going into that playing tournament. So you're, of course, number one, Mina number two, North American number three, and South America, barely scraping by in that fourth place spot from OCE. So those will be your four regions with the last chance hall fire for the world championship. Keep yourself locked to the Rocket League social media channels to find out when those LCQs are. We'll have lots of fun. Here's how the prediction battle went just for some fun. Hey, Gibbs, congratulations! Look at that! Oh, boo! Look at that! Hey, me and Sacks, it was a battle the whole way through. I snapped. Look at that game. Look at that game. That's crew, that's crew. That's crew. Look at this guy. That's crew. That's crew, look at that. Look at that, man. That's crew, old man. No. No. No. First one, you're on the bottom. Jorbey, he got last place and we did say there would be a punishment. And we will see it again at the World Championship on Friday for Diki Serena. But for now, I think it would be fitting for Jorbey to wear the nice ducky uniform. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. It's Diki. Congratulations, I think. Let's go over and take his arena. We'll have Jorbey running around on Friday, Friday crowd day. You do have to be taking photos with fans and stuff like that in there. And you have to wear this on screen. A Friday meeting. You guys, you guys don't understand. We have this arm of Jorbey with a tool to style around it. We've given him three months. He already matches. He already matches. Listen, he's already making it work. He's already styling it. It already looks good. My goodness. But the entire town team, like we wanted everyone up here.
