WEBVTT

01:30.000 --> 01:32.000
I

02:00.000 --> 02:02.000
I can't think of myself

02:02.000 --> 02:05.000
I want an absolute happy heart

02:05.000 --> 02:08.000
To feel it touch so hard at first

02:08.000 --> 02:13.000
Isn't something you can't understand true

02:15.000 --> 02:18.000
I'm a half of everything

02:18.000 --> 02:22.000
It's something off the summer road

02:22.000 --> 02:24.000
I say to you in the crowd

02:24.000 --> 02:26.000
I'm a sensation, darling

02:26.000 --> 02:33.000
Every time I dream that you are silly

02:33.000 --> 02:40.000
It's a kind of thing that you can't understand, I'm sorry

02:40.000 --> 02:46.000
Every time I dream that you are silly

02:46.000 --> 02:54.000
It's a kind of thing that you can't understand, I'm sorry

03:54.000 --> 03:59.640
I want to go overthinking when I'm all alone

03:59.640 --> 04:03.000
out of focus from all the unknown

04:03.000 --> 04:08.000
I'm a pain check for my vitals

04:08.000 --> 04:13.000
I need revival

04:13.000 --> 04:18.000
Broken down and fading, my heart keeps breaking

04:18.000 --> 04:20.000
I

04:48.000 --> 04:49.680
Yeah, let's beat it up

04:49.680 --> 04:52.340
Because we are the fighters

04:52.340 --> 04:53.340
Fighters

06:18.000 --> 06:20.000
In the middle of a game of die

06:20.000 --> 06:21.600
There's a slow to drop

06:21.600 --> 06:23.600
We're playing like we're down

06:23.600 --> 06:25.600
The game is getting real

06:25.600 --> 06:26.900
It gives me a

06:26.900 --> 06:28.900
Fighters fighters

06:43.400 --> 06:45.900
Y'all believe the stars are broken

06:45.900 --> 06:48.900
I'm looking up and low,

06:48.900 --> 06:50.900
In the middle of the night,

06:50.900 --> 06:52.900
As I slowly jump up,

06:52.900 --> 06:54.900
When we finally come,

06:54.900 --> 06:56.900
And I'm giving it up,

06:56.900 --> 06:58.900
To speed up the fighters.

07:15.900 --> 07:21.700
I can feel this tight,

07:21.700 --> 07:25.700
I choke my neck and I just wonder why

07:25.700 --> 07:30.300
I'm belly in a suit I've never bought

07:30.300 --> 07:33.300
A suit I've never bought

07:35.300 --> 07:39.300
Cuffing from my race,

07:39.300 --> 07:43.300
I can't ask surprise

07:43.300 --> 07:49.300
And when the shot was hit, tear in the earth, you'd dance off the ground

07:49.300 --> 08:15.300
I've been looking for a place to make me be complete.

08:15.300 --> 08:20.300
I've been looking all around, I've got the courage and the faith

08:20.300 --> 08:22.300
To make me feel

08:24.300 --> 08:26.300
Bring me back to life

08:56.300 --> 09:25.300
I've been looking for a case to make me eat, to complain, I've been looking all better than I thought I'd be,

09:25.300 --> 09:29.220
You see, to make me feel

09:31.780 --> 09:33.780
Bring me back to life

12:55.300 --> 13:13.300
I hope I won't end up in your fight, but if I do, you're probably right.

13:13.300 --> 13:22.300
I see when you're away, you don't remember me

13:22.300 --> 13:30.300
You're cold as December, and I suppose you find me all alone

13:30.300 --> 13:34.300
I'm sick with this rain, you kiss me so tight

13:34.300 --> 13:37.300
And it's fire when you're late

13:38.300 --> 13:42.300
I feel like you ain't breaking, nothing that you like

14:12.300 --> 14:41.300
I'm sick with the sight, you can see so fight, I'm fire in your eyes,

14:41.300 --> 14:46.700
I feel like you're right here, nothing that you like here

14:46.700 --> 14:51.980
I know you're okay, but the place is fire when you're up

15:41.300 --> 16:05.980
Rockin' League fans around the world, welcome to North America for Playoff Saturday of the

16:05.980 --> 16:13.980
2026 RLCS 1v1 North American regional championship. It's a mouthful. It's gonna be a handful for all of our players folks

16:13.980 --> 16:21.260
eight of the best 1v1ers in the region on your screen today will be narrowing it down to top six and on the road to

16:21.260 --> 16:25.980
crowning a North American regional champion tomorrow and championship Sunday. It's gonna be an exciting one. I'm white punk. I got

16:25.980 --> 16:30.980
Johnny. I got fear. I got T Bates, and this is a good show. Bates, did you watch, did you watch the drama yesterday?

16:30.980 --> 16:32.980
What did you think of the 1v1 scene so far?

16:32.980 --> 16:37.980
I mean, I watched a little bit of it, I mean, I was kind of at work wave, so I caught him

16:37.980 --> 16:38.980
when I could.

16:38.980 --> 16:43.980
I saw some highlights, but I can't say I watched it as thoroughly as I usually watch it.

16:43.980 --> 16:45.980
Like I said, I was a little busy, isn't it?

16:45.980 --> 16:46.980
I appreciate the honesty.

16:46.980 --> 16:47.980
And hey, you know what?

16:47.980 --> 16:48.980
There's definitely some viewers.

16:48.980 --> 16:49.980
There's some viewers tuning in right now.

16:49.980 --> 16:50.980
We're in that same boat.

16:50.980 --> 16:53.980
They were also at work yesterday, and they didn't know it was going to launch.

16:53.980 --> 16:54.980
So, hey, you're tuned into the free show.

16:54.980 --> 16:56.980
You're right where you need to be, where to tell you everything that happened yesterday.

16:56.980 --> 17:00.980
If you're picking right now to become a Rocket League fan, this is the first time you're

17:00.980 --> 17:04.220
watching and hearing our voices, you picked a great time to become a family greatest eSport

17:04.220 --> 17:08.340
in the world. Bottom left corner, we're in that red box right now, the world championship,

17:08.340 --> 17:12.220
the next huge thing on the horizon. We've played through the 2v2 opens. We know who's

17:12.220 --> 17:15.340
going to be playing for the title of 2v2 world champion. We're finding out who's going to

17:15.340 --> 17:19.540
be playing for the title of 1v1 world championship right here, right now, this weekend. And then

17:19.540 --> 17:23.260
there's also the last chance qualifiers, because who could be the world champion for 3v3s?

17:23.260 --> 17:26.820
It could be you and your friends. All you got to do is scan the QR code on your screen,

17:26.820 --> 17:30.660
follow the link, sign up, and then just don't lose. Don't lose against the rest of the

17:30.660 --> 17:33.460
But there's still a possibility and some teams will do that.

17:33.460 --> 17:36.260
They will make it to the World Championship through those last chance qualifiers.

17:36.260 --> 17:39.960
It could be you sign up if you want to have a fun time with your friends and hey,

17:39.960 --> 17:41.960
maybe make it to the championship in that way.

17:41.960 --> 17:46.060
We've got a crazy event in store for all of you here this weekend.

17:46.060 --> 17:48.560
We have our North American 1v1 tournament.

17:48.560 --> 17:51.160
We also have the Middle East North African tournament happening today.

17:51.160 --> 17:52.060
It'll be concluding today.

17:52.060 --> 17:57.060
We will be covering the grand finals of the MENA broadcast on this stream here

17:57.060 --> 17:58.660
as the final thing we do today.

17:58.660 --> 18:03.660
So don't make do not click away after the final matchday after Zach and Diaz take on each other

18:03.860 --> 18:08.500
Let's talk about what is on the line today or this weekend rather

18:08.500 --> 18:13.180
We have a nice juicy prize pool for our players here everyone in the tournament this again

18:13.180 --> 18:16.420
This is money going to a single individual player that already secured

18:17.180 --> 18:20.380
$1,200 some of the players have secured $1,600 with every win today

18:20.380 --> 18:27.340
They're moving themselves up in the prize pool, but really the money not the thing that's the most valuable in our prize pool

18:27.340 --> 18:34.580
It's that qualification to the World Championship, which only goes to the top spot this weekend here for North America and for the Middle East.

18:34.580 --> 18:39.920
They will fill in this bracket that we played in Dickie's Arena that final weekend in September there.

18:40.260 --> 18:45.200
If you win today, or if you win this weekend here for North America, you get to take on NAS for the Middle Eastern champion.

18:45.200 --> 18:53.360
We'll take on KV one. And in addition to the $7,000 you're securing here today, you'll get an extra 5k just for showing up and losing to the World Championship.

18:53.360 --> 18:55.320
Obviously, they're not going to be trying to lose here, Bates.

18:55.320 --> 19:01.520
Wait a second. What was that? Is that accurate this first place you really get 50 grand? 50 grand

19:02.280 --> 19:04.280
to a single player

19:06.280 --> 19:10.860
It's kind of me it's kind of it's a good price. It's a good price put. Wait how much is two we two good?

19:11.680 --> 19:14.080
Double 25 each or is that 50 grand each?

19:14.880 --> 19:18.640
Yeah, the same same player. Yes double double overall

19:19.440 --> 19:21.440
Okay, so

19:21.440 --> 19:26.400
We've been talking a lot this weekend, Fear, about the Triple Crown, which fans, if you

19:26.400 --> 19:31.280
want to watch this crown, three different world champions, one-to-one, two-to-two, three-to-three,

19:31.280 --> 19:35.200
make sure you scan the QR code on your screen, be in the building, get your tickets there.

19:35.200 --> 19:38.560
Fear, we've been talking about the fact that, like, oh, wouldn't it be crazy if someone were to,

19:38.560 --> 19:42.880
like, get the accolade of winning multiple championships in one weekend. We haven't talked

19:42.880 --> 19:47.120
about how lucrative it is for them here, you know, you could make some crazy money, you win one of

19:47.120 --> 19:50.360
one of your ones and two of you, two and three of you. Oh my God. Yeah.

19:50.360 --> 19:53.440
I'd hopefully give him like a special title to or something, not just, you know,

19:53.600 --> 19:55.680
all the prize, everything, but if you win a triple crown,

19:55.880 --> 19:57.400
surely you got to get something in game.

19:57.600 --> 19:59.640
We technically still have a couple of players who could do that.

19:59.840 --> 20:01.240
Zack can't get eliminated today.

20:01.240 --> 20:03.400
Even if he loses, he'll still potentially be able to do it.

20:03.880 --> 20:06.040
But over on the Mina, we're going to have Mina end today.

20:06.040 --> 20:07.600
So you're going to need to see Kaliers win.

20:07.600 --> 20:10.600
If you want to keep that dream alive of somebody winning the triple crown.

20:11.160 --> 20:13.800
We'll see if they can do it, folks. What a road it will be.

20:13.800 --> 20:15.720
We'll talk about that more when we get into their matchups,

20:15.720 --> 20:17.560
just because it's a fun thing to talk about.

20:17.560 --> 20:20.100
Now, for those of you that missed yesterday,

20:20.100 --> 20:21.760
basically got it, we're gonna catch you right up here.

20:21.760 --> 20:23.400
There was some crazy Rocket League.

20:23.400 --> 20:24.600
There was some fun action.

20:24.600 --> 20:27.160
There was that group A was pretty competitive,

20:27.160 --> 20:30.720
but the results went about as we expected.

20:30.720 --> 20:32.000
The biggest story for me,

20:32.000 --> 20:34.240
the one I'm probably the most excited about here today,

20:34.240 --> 20:37.000
Zapato's fear, making it out with those lower semi-finals.

20:37.000 --> 20:38.760
He's back for a second year in a row.

20:38.760 --> 20:40.720
Yeah, you know, in the hype chamber, they have a Fennec.

20:40.720 --> 20:42.120
What is that Fennec doing in there?

20:42.120 --> 20:43.960
This guy does not rock the Fennec.

20:43.960 --> 20:50.040
He is one of the holy players you will see rocking some of that is an octane or fake and it's not even Dominus

20:50.040 --> 20:55.040
It's this nice playing sentio, and I also love his style not just one color

20:55.040 --> 20:58.760
He's always out there trying to make something look nice, but it's not just his style on his car

20:58.760 --> 21:04.300
It's his style in his gameplay as well as you got quickly through night. Yeah when we were watching him on stream

21:04.320 --> 21:07.400
He looked insane, but apparently it went to game five

21:07.400 --> 21:09.400
So now you must have been playing pretty well

21:09.400 --> 21:13.280
but Zapatos vs. Evo is a matchup that we've seen many times.

21:13.280 --> 21:18.200
Coming into this one, Johnny and I had Evo at 5 and Zapatos at 6.

21:18.200 --> 21:21.200
So Zapatos could have maybe had a slight upset here

21:21.200 --> 21:23.240
if he was able to take down Evo,

21:23.240 --> 21:26.880
but ultimately it was Evo sending Zapatos down to the lower bracket

21:26.880 --> 21:31.080
where he ran into 5-up and Zapatos is just too good

21:31.080 --> 21:33.600
to be getting eliminated before the top 8.

21:33.600 --> 21:35.640
He had a great series here against 5-up.

21:35.640 --> 21:37.280
I believe we were tabbing away

21:37.280 --> 21:39.520
And then he was playing better when he wasn't on mainstream.

21:39.520 --> 21:41.660
He's going to have to play on mainstream for entire series

21:41.660 --> 21:44.960
today because he's got first killer in this little bracket.

21:44.960 --> 21:47.800
It'll have to be an upset if he wants to get top six

21:47.800 --> 21:50.660
and stick with that ranking that we had him at at the start

21:50.660 --> 21:52.200
of the day.

21:52.200 --> 21:53.600
Now he's such a strong player.

21:53.600 --> 21:55.760
I mean, I love getting to highlight anybody that is not

21:55.760 --> 21:58.040
playing Fennec Octane or Dominus here.

21:58.040 --> 21:59.840
And I mean, the fact that he is playing something

21:59.840 --> 22:01.400
that everyone else is not familiar with,

22:01.400 --> 22:02.720
he's more familiar with.

22:02.720 --> 22:04.840
He's playing a million Fennec Octane and Dominus.

22:04.840 --> 22:08.080
is how many top level sentios of these guys played.

22:08.080 --> 22:09.240
It's really just Zapatos.

22:09.240 --> 22:10.880
He's kind of got the whole scene there

22:10.880 --> 22:12.760
and we're glad to see him here still in the top eight

22:12.760 --> 22:13.760
from North America.

22:13.760 --> 22:15.400
We'll get to see his story continue on.

22:15.400 --> 22:19.200
Group B though, Johnny, was a bit of an upset city.

22:19.200 --> 22:21.600
Some wild stories coming out of this one.

22:21.600 --> 22:24.720
Diaz did take on first killer there up in the top

22:24.720 --> 22:25.560
of the El Prasemio files.

22:25.560 --> 22:27.920
That was a rematch of our grand finals last year.

22:27.920 --> 22:29.880
Definitely not an upset for Diaz to win there,

22:29.880 --> 22:33.760
but the way in which he won was very spectacular.

22:33.760 --> 22:37.060
Yeah, so it could be a little bit of a preview of a potential grand final.

22:37.060 --> 22:40.520
Obviously, it was a rematch of last year's grand final for North America.

22:40.520 --> 22:44.560
But before Diaz could get to Farskiller, he had to take on Canada's Loxy.

22:44.560 --> 22:47.920
So this is a new player for a lot of the U.S.C.'s.

22:48.220 --> 22:52.800
I think going to be a player you'll see more of, because even though he's lost out to Diaz,

22:53.500 --> 22:55.000
I don't think he did it well.

22:55.000 --> 22:57.900
Diaz is to clip it on him a little bit, but I don't think it was a bad showing

22:57.900 --> 22:59.500
overall for Loxy this weekend.

22:59.500 --> 23:02.400
And then we got to the real match of the day for me.

23:02.400 --> 23:05.880
Just look at that. Dias versus

23:06.180 --> 23:08.200
first skill Dias starting off

23:08.340 --> 23:10.040
exactly as he wanted to in this

23:10.040 --> 23:11.140
match up. It looked like it

23:11.140 --> 23:13.180
might He might run away with it.

23:13.180 --> 23:15.180
But first killer fighting back

23:15.180 --> 23:17.780
from behind in game three

23:17.780 --> 23:19.280
multiple times. He has several

23:19.280 --> 23:20.600
comebacks and then look at the

23:20.600 --> 23:22.180
line through this overtime. Nine

23:22.180 --> 23:24.200
nine is over a minute and 26.

23:24.200 --> 23:25.680
That's a huge overtime for one

23:25.680 --> 23:26.740
b-one. First killer wins that

23:26.740 --> 23:28.780
wins the next game and the

23:28.780 --> 23:30.380
asset to do it in five, which

23:30.380 --> 23:31.780
he was able to do, but first

23:31.780 --> 23:35.540
But I think this could be a little preview of the Grand Final.

23:35.540 --> 23:37.500
We might see these players rematching their kit.

23:37.500 --> 23:38.980
They can make their way through the bracket.

23:38.980 --> 23:41.700
First killer hit to make his way through the lower bracket in 2025.

23:41.700 --> 23:43.980
We'll have to do it again here in 2026.

23:43.980 --> 23:45.460
But we all know he's up to the task,

23:45.460 --> 23:47.340
getting to get there to the Grand Finals again.

23:47.340 --> 23:50.340
Now, the story I think everyone's talking about the most,

23:50.340 --> 23:52.780
the most interesting story here, Bates.

23:52.780 --> 23:56.020
We got a guy named AJ who just will not go away.

23:56.020 --> 23:59.180
His first tournaments were back in 2018.

23:59.180 --> 24:00.660
That's eight years ago.

24:00.660 --> 24:03.620
And he's still here in the top six, in fact.

24:03.620 --> 24:05.540
I mean, listen, eight years ago,

24:05.540 --> 24:07.420
he had some of the best mechanics in North America.

24:07.420 --> 24:09.020
Everybody was heralded for that.

24:09.020 --> 24:10.860
And I still do believe that he still has some

24:10.860 --> 24:12.940
of the best mechanics in North America.

24:12.940 --> 24:17.060
3-3 seeded hasn't been banned on form as a late but 1-1

24:17.060 --> 24:19.380
is about the mix, it's about just the ability

24:19.380 --> 24:21.340
to perform when you have to fall, get it by the opponent.

24:21.340 --> 24:23.620
And even in a matchup where I don't know where Johnny

24:23.620 --> 24:24.820
and Fear had chronic rank bar,

24:24.820 --> 24:27.620
my assumption is that chronic was ranked reasonably high

24:27.620 --> 24:28.780
on the rankings.

24:28.780 --> 24:30.100
AJ went and handled the distance.

24:30.100 --> 24:32.220
And going up against Bor, Bor is a newcomer.

24:32.220 --> 24:33.580
I love what he's been doing for Diggatoss,

24:33.580 --> 24:35.540
but I think this experience proves out

24:35.540 --> 24:36.780
in these type of matches.

24:36.780 --> 24:38.180
He haven't seen AJ on Saturdays,

24:38.180 --> 24:39.820
he's been in a very long time.

24:39.820 --> 24:42.580
So I am excited to see what exactly he can bring

24:42.580 --> 24:43.420
to the table.

24:43.420 --> 24:44.980
It's not gonna be an easy match up though.

24:44.980 --> 24:46.220
He's going up against Evo.

24:46.220 --> 24:47.140
He goes very aggressive.

24:47.140 --> 24:47.980
He's very mechanical.

24:47.980 --> 24:48.820
He's a confident player,

24:48.820 --> 24:50.900
but if AJ keeps playing like he does, man,

24:50.900 --> 24:53.340
he always has a chance.

24:53.340 --> 24:54.620
We'll see if he can get it done here, fuck.

24:54.620 --> 24:57.940
I mean, I love, like, we keep talking about him,

24:57.940 --> 25:03.540
like he's this he's this old man were amazed that he's still here it like is there actually like a

25:03.540 --> 25:07.940
notable difference between the way that AJ is playing the way he's approaching the ball the speed

25:07.940 --> 25:12.420
at which he's approaching the ball or is if you took the name plates off would you be able to tell

25:12.420 --> 25:16.740
that it's AJ you know that's a tough question whether or not taking the name plates off I don't

25:16.740 --> 25:20.900
think he's necessarily playing any slower he's playing this top ones game that he always has

25:20.900 --> 25:24.740
he's just maybe got disillusioned with the three scenes it's tough to get the right team to get

25:24.740 --> 25:29.960
get the right situation, and he maybe didn't want to put in as much effort, but once, I mean, he clearly still enjoys the game.

25:29.960 --> 25:33.280
He clearly still plays ranked. He was a high ranked seed coming into this.

25:33.280 --> 25:35.280
So he's kept his leaderboard position up.

25:35.280 --> 25:39.820
He gets to kind of focus on that however much he wants to without having to worry about everything that comes with being on a team.

25:40.020 --> 25:41.520
So clearly he's still got it.

25:41.520 --> 25:46.540
I don't know, I don't think we're going to see him resurging back into threes or anything like that because of all the work that comes with that.

25:46.800 --> 25:50.280
But clearly still a top player in ones and someone's going to have to try and you serve him.

25:50.280 --> 25:53.240
It's really on the other guys. You need to go and take AJ off the ground.

25:53.240 --> 25:55.540
he's been able to stay up there and you let him stay up there.

25:57.040 --> 26:00.040
There's a whole like social dynamic to being good at threes, right?

26:00.040 --> 26:01.840
Like it's not just being good at the game.

26:01.840 --> 26:05.140
It's also figuring out how to get a team around your recruitment, you know, like a thing.

26:05.140 --> 26:06.840
Like you get to avoid all of that in one.

26:06.840 --> 26:08.240
So he's like, no, it's just me out there.

26:08.240 --> 26:10.740
And now you know, keep up with the tiktok memes.

26:10.740 --> 26:12.840
You know, like, well, some of the new players doing these days,

26:12.840 --> 26:15.640
all these young mechanical players, like it's really difficult to keep up with

26:15.640 --> 26:16.740
what they're doing.

26:16.740 --> 26:18.240
So he doesn't need to worry about that.

26:18.240 --> 26:21.140
It's nice to him, the ball, the boost, nothing else.

26:21.140 --> 26:27.560
You know, he's trying to make a name for himself in the space.

26:27.560 --> 26:31.400
And I will say, we were talking about first killer had to make the lower bracket run last

26:31.400 --> 26:32.400
year.

26:32.400 --> 26:34.000
He's back in the lower bracket trying to make it through.

26:34.000 --> 26:35.620
Last year, AJ was in the lower bracket.

26:35.620 --> 26:38.020
This time, he's earned himself a second life with that upper bracket.

26:38.020 --> 26:41.260
So an improvement here from 2025 to 2026 for AJ.

26:41.260 --> 26:42.260
Will it make a difference?

26:42.260 --> 26:44.800
We'll find out as the tournament progresses here yesterday.

26:44.800 --> 26:48.440
We saw some pretty spectacular results and there was some pretty spectacular plays that

26:48.440 --> 26:49.440
got us there.

26:49.440 --> 26:53.240
These are your top plays presented by progressive number six.

26:53.240 --> 26:57.080
Listen, if you give me a chance to put a sentio on the top plays list, I'm going to put a

26:57.080 --> 26:58.400
sentio on the top plays list.

26:58.400 --> 26:59.400
Look at the dribble.

26:59.400 --> 27:00.400
Look at the plate car here.

27:00.400 --> 27:03.560
The reason he drives it for flicks like this, so much power, you ain't getting that out

27:03.560 --> 27:04.560
of any other car.

27:04.560 --> 27:07.360
And then finishing it off, laying it directly on his bumper.

27:07.360 --> 27:10.760
To close this one out, this one goes up against five up, trying his best.

27:10.760 --> 27:14.080
Five up, a little low on boost here, but you know what, I don't know, from any difference

27:14.080 --> 27:15.080
of you had a hundred, that's it.

27:15.080 --> 27:16.560
And then that good stuff from Zupato.

27:16.560 --> 27:20.400
We already got a glimpse of this play before of it. Look at the reset by a

27:20.400 --> 27:25.800
dodging into the flip reset on the back for a touch here. That was after a very

27:25.800 --> 27:29.320
closely fought win in the race to the boost, but to center the ball to himself

27:29.320 --> 27:33.320
that quickly get the extra touch and then secure the tie angle. Well played.

27:33.320 --> 27:38.120
On number four we got Diaz on champions field. Catch us this and cuts it away.

27:38.120 --> 27:41.240
You thought that was gonna be the highlight? No. Diaz back up in the year again.

27:41.240 --> 27:44.840
He's first because they're challenging and gets the reset to pop it away. This is

27:44.840 --> 27:50.440
such a tough thing to do. It really shows just how good Diaz is at not only holding possession

27:50.440 --> 27:54.840
and going for the right shot, but being able to read when a challenge is coming early at just such

27:54.840 --> 27:59.160
a big pop, Diaz gets back down and forces it in. Listen, we're seeing a lot of offense. Sometimes

27:59.160 --> 28:03.320
you got to start seeing some defenses. Well, Wavy absolutely reads Zach like a Harry Potter book,

28:03.320 --> 28:07.800
but Zach comes all the way back. Backwards aerial to get the touch. It should have been a guarantee

28:07.800 --> 28:12.520
going for Wavy, but Zach says no. It's the creativity and ingenuity to get back in this position.

28:12.520 --> 28:14.200
There's only one other player in the world that I know

28:14.200 --> 28:15.480
can make that play in this, Johnny.

28:15.480 --> 28:17.960
I'll tell you why.

28:17.960 --> 28:19.360
We'll tell him later, folks.

28:19.360 --> 28:20.920
This is 0 seconds game two.

28:20.920 --> 28:21.960
First killer versus Wiz.

28:21.960 --> 28:23.000
Wiz has all the control.

28:23.000 --> 28:24.880
Try to find the buzzer beater to win the game.

28:24.880 --> 28:26.000
First killer finds it.

28:26.000 --> 28:28.480
Instead, the other way, finding the way

28:28.480 --> 28:31.680
to get this off of Wiz's hood and then onto his own

28:31.680 --> 28:34.760
without having to touch the ground, spectacular stuff.

28:34.760 --> 28:36.640
Winning game two on the way to a sweep.

28:36.640 --> 28:38.200
But for our number one play, I said

28:38.200 --> 28:39.840
I was looking at Zack at the start of the day.

28:39.840 --> 28:42.500
He is a very mechanical player, but has he done it in ones?

28:42.500 --> 28:47.460
It turns out double resets they work anywhere you want them as Zach gets up

28:47.460 --> 28:51.520
This falls headed away to the other side of the field before he gets one reset and then another

28:51.860 --> 28:55.860
And you like the double reset how about a double double reset? This is ten seconds later

28:55.860 --> 28:59.500
This is not the same play you just saw this is a completely different moment

28:59.500 --> 29:01.580
He does it twice in a row to five up

29:01.740 --> 29:07.180
This is why he is one of the strongest seeds coming out of group A and also one of the most improved players from

29:07.180 --> 29:13.260
2025 to 2026 didn't make top eight last year. He's now the one of the top dogs out of his group,

29:13.260 --> 29:17.740
Kanzak make the run here. He's going to have to go through Diaz reigning, defending North American

29:17.740 --> 29:23.900
champion and teammate. So it'd be some good vibes between those guys in that matchup. We'll see

29:23.900 --> 29:29.340
how it goes. That will be our final matchup of North American action of the day. We'll be playing

29:29.340 --> 29:32.860
through our upper bracket, run one and lower bracket, run one matches and then playing the

29:32.860 --> 29:34.780
the Mina grand finals of five matches.

29:34.780 --> 29:38.140
Don't get to watch on our broadcast before we shut things down here on

29:38.140 --> 29:39.620
towards that TV slash broccoli.

29:39.620 --> 29:45.100
Speaking of Mina, people struggled to watch the North American action yesterday.

29:45.100 --> 29:47.020
They probably also struggled to watch the Mina action.

29:47.020 --> 29:49.820
It was a little bit harder to find the broadcasts over there.

29:49.820 --> 29:52.500
And so we're going to, they are going to have more full coverage here today.

29:52.500 --> 29:55.380
We'll also be giving you again, that grand final at the end of the broadcast.

29:55.380 --> 29:56.620
We'll be covering on this channel.

29:56.620 --> 29:57.660
You won't have to go anywhere else.

29:58.140 --> 29:59.500
Let's talk about it though, guys.

29:59.580 --> 30:01.420
Some, some crazy drama here.

30:01.420 --> 30:07.260
No, I think we got to start with Novo up at the top, raining Rocket League 1v1 world

30:07.260 --> 30:12.780
champion on the run to get back and defend that title, taking on his teammate TRK here,

30:12.780 --> 30:13.780
Johnny.

30:13.780 --> 30:16.820
This one was probably the least close of the day, and you can see why.

30:16.820 --> 30:17.820
Novo is so good.

30:17.820 --> 30:22.540
Yeah, when he shows up, he's a favorite, and especially now that Ruas has been eliminated,

30:22.540 --> 30:26.860
the one guy who was able to provide resistance in his run to the World Championship last

30:26.860 --> 30:27.860
year.

30:27.860 --> 30:33.260
TRK in the past, he has had some wins against his teammate, but not recently.

30:33.260 --> 30:39.060
And I think recently TRK has been sort of stagnant in 1v1 in Mina, whereas some of the

30:39.060 --> 30:45.460
other players are improving and yeah, this could be, I think, the two-time, this kid.

30:45.460 --> 30:47.660
He's looking great in the run to defend his title.

30:47.660 --> 30:53.900
Yeah, I mean, we're talking like, look at the whole field here, right?

30:53.900 --> 30:59.740
He looks he looks kind of like if this is a runaway win, but I mean of all the 1v1 brackets

30:59.740 --> 31:02.460
We've seen is Mina the most fact fear

31:03.060 --> 31:08.740
Yeah, I mean it's it's tough. You can't compete with EU. EU is really really tough to compete with that

31:08.740 --> 31:13.460
I think EU's on the main screen more often and it's important to make that comparison for maybe fans who don't see

31:13.460 --> 31:17.980
The Mina 1v1 players as much you'll get to see their grand final and you'll get a taste of it

31:17.980 --> 31:21.580
But even all the way through the bracket all the top six that are gonna be playing today

31:21.580 --> 31:29.580
They're a high level that they could compete across the board with all these other regions and maybe even you know beat out the top and a six

31:29.580 --> 31:33.860
We have left. We don't know who there's gonna be just yet, but it is very strong when we went over there

31:35.300 --> 31:40.620
You got you've got the reigning defending champion in your bracket. We'll see him play a little keep you up to down the result

31:40.620 --> 31:44.980
And maybe we'll see people play there at the end of the day that matchup was a bit

31:44.980 --> 31:49.980
One more one-sided TRK didn't quite find a way to match what Nova was throwing out.

31:49.980 --> 31:54.980
That was a 4-1. Let's talk about one that went all the way to game 7 to a buzzer beater at the end as well.

31:54.980 --> 32:01.980
Nush versus Killiers here. Killiers on that road that triple crown we were talking about. Can he get the title in 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3?

32:01.980 --> 32:05.980
Only two players that could still potentially do it. He's one of them.

32:05.980 --> 32:10.980
But Nush has other ideas. It went one-sided for Nush in game 1.

32:10.980 --> 32:13.700
It went the other side for Killiers in game two.

32:13.700 --> 32:16.060
And then back and forth, the rest of the series here,

32:16.060 --> 32:18.820
fear, it went down to the wire in game seven.

32:18.820 --> 32:20.940
Yeah, these guys have been closely matched

32:20.940 --> 32:22.140
when they've played in the past.

32:22.140 --> 32:25.180
Killiers, you know, a lot more three's success than Nush.

32:25.180 --> 32:27.220
But Nush, a bit more of a one specialist.

32:27.220 --> 32:30.300
And now the twin brother, that was a little bit more

32:30.300 --> 32:31.580
of a one specialist, is gone.

32:31.580 --> 32:35.180
So Killiers is going to have to hold it up for the family,

32:35.180 --> 32:35.940
I guess, in this one.

32:35.940 --> 32:37.820
But he did not take down Nush.

32:37.820 --> 32:39.380
Nush is just a highlight reel.

32:39.380 --> 32:46.980
I don't know if you ever go and check out Highlight Reels on YouTube to watch, but NUSH is going to give you some of the best ones you could possibly watch, whether it's 1's 2's, any game mode.

32:46.980 --> 32:54.780
He is putting on a really exciting, exciting type of 1v1, and he's also able to back it up with wins without Rwanda surrounding NUSH.

32:54.780 --> 33:02.480
Might be that guy who has the next best chance at taking down Nupo. It could be Kilears, but really, the reality is there could be a lot of playing for a second.

33:02.480 --> 33:08.800
I know we're talking right now about nursing careers, but these guys are are gonna need to be absolutely on their form

33:08.800 --> 33:11.920
You know, they're clearly both playing well against each other

33:11.920 --> 33:14.800
They're gonna have to try and recreate that not just in this but you see clears

33:14.800 --> 33:19.160
He was up to just like rewass the twin brother was also up to games

33:19.160 --> 33:25.540
No, she would have been two in a row and that is exactly what he did here in game seven to advance to the semi-finals

33:28.000 --> 33:30.160
Yeah, yeah, I see so

33:30.160 --> 33:35.520
but yeah I mean he's been overshadowed but yeah these guys are they are

33:35.520 --> 33:39.840
insanely good at once like me being a region I've got so many ridiculously

33:39.840 --> 33:44.000
good ones players Kalyers has beaten you know if you go back years he's

33:44.000 --> 33:48.720
taking down players like the first killer before he's in competitive with

33:48.720 --> 33:53.240
multiple European players he's great it just we don't get to see it too much

33:53.240 --> 33:55.880
because he usually just hands the control over the last it says yeah you play

33:55.880 --> 33:59.280
this one in the crew battle once.

33:59.280 --> 34:01.600
I mean, in theory, he could do that at the World Championship,

34:01.600 --> 34:02.100
right?

34:02.100 --> 34:03.800
Wow, like, who would be able to tell?

34:03.800 --> 34:04.520
Look at that.

34:04.520 --> 34:06.480
Zero seconds.

34:06.480 --> 34:07.000
I don't know.

34:07.000 --> 34:09.200
Like, that was, I was popping out of my chair

34:09.200 --> 34:11.720
watching that final go down or watching that matchup go down.

34:11.720 --> 34:13.880
It felt like a final, even though that was just,

34:13.880 --> 34:16.080
that was just an upper bracket round one matchup there,

34:16.080 --> 34:17.040
went all the way to game seven.

34:17.040 --> 34:18.920
Ops versus Willie also, the match that happened right

34:18.920 --> 34:20.760
before, a fantastic matchup there.

34:20.760 --> 34:23.120
Unfortunately for Willie, that one wasn't elimination match.

34:23.120 --> 34:28.280
gets TRK today. They'll be taken on killers will be taken on FBI as well. Winners get

34:28.280 --> 34:32.560
to take on Nobo and Nush. And then the winners of those advanced to the grand finals will

34:32.560 --> 34:37.720
keep you updated on how the brackets going. And then we will show you that broadcast of

34:37.720 --> 34:41.040
the grand finals there at the end of the day. So a little bit longer than we usually are

34:41.040 --> 34:44.720
going to be live on playoff Saturday, but exciting stuff. Glad to have it here. Now

34:44.720 --> 34:47.240
let's let's let's let's kind of lock back in a little bit. We got 10 minutes here before

34:47.240 --> 34:52.760
kickoff. Let's talk about the North American action here. Johnny fear. We had you guys

34:52.760 --> 34:54.760
you know, you know, every day

34:54.760 --> 34:56.760
is different and the week I've

34:56.760 --> 34:58.760
got chronic at three. I think

34:58.760 --> 35:00.760
if he got to try again today,

35:00.760 --> 35:02.760
he would perform to a higher

35:02.760 --> 35:03.760
level. He's eliminated already,

35:03.760 --> 35:04.760
but that was obviously the guy

35:04.760 --> 35:06.760
that we ranked way too high. If

35:06.760 --> 35:08.760
we look at this, you know, it's

35:08.760 --> 35:10.760
perfect. Twenty two vision at

35:10.760 --> 35:12.760
twenty twenty hindsight vision,

35:12.760 --> 35:14.760
but, uh, I think we're going to

35:14.760 --> 35:16.760
get a little bit of a little bit

35:16.760 --> 35:18.760
of a little bit of a little bit

35:18.760 --> 35:19.760
of a little bit of a little bit

35:19.760 --> 35:20.760
of a little bit of a little bit

35:20.760 --> 35:28.360
20 hindsight vision, but yeah, Bora snuck in Zach snuck in all these guys made playoffs. It's just chronic. I did not but

35:28.800 --> 35:35.400
Yeah, the hands off one of fear's honorable mentions who over performed I'd say true true

35:35.400 --> 35:39.320
I won't ask about you Bora and Zach down there with Bora over Zach

35:39.320 --> 35:44.080
Would you flip that from what you saw yesterday? Or you still think Bora has a slight edge on Zach's performance?

35:44.320 --> 35:49.040
Yeah, I'd still flip I would flip that I do want to give Zach credit for taking down wavy

35:49.040 --> 35:51.040
a little bit on the wall for

35:51.040 --> 35:53.040
that match, though. Wavy look

35:53.040 --> 35:55.040
nervous in his first round and

35:55.040 --> 35:57.040
Zach reverse swept his first

35:57.040 --> 35:58.040
round. So the momentum was

35:58.040 --> 35:59.040
definitely on Zach's side going

35:59.040 --> 36:01.040
into that. And you know, Wavy's

36:01.040 --> 36:02.040
playstyle sort of reminded me of

36:02.040 --> 36:05.040
Razir's in EU. He just looked

36:05.040 --> 36:06.040
nervous in the pitch. New day

36:06.040 --> 36:07.040
for him, though. I think he can

36:07.040 --> 36:09.040
regain much like Razir's did.

36:09.040 --> 36:11.040
Okay, okay, and we could blow up

36:11.040 --> 36:13.040
a little pull up fears list as

36:13.040 --> 36:15.040
well. But I remember fear you

36:15.040 --> 36:17.040
guys had the same top six here

36:17.040 --> 36:23.620
like wavy didn't make it through the upper bracket of his group. Would you drop wavy or was it sort of similar to chronic here a

36:24.420 --> 36:27.300
If we were to play it again today, we'd see that we'd see a different way

36:28.420 --> 36:31.460
Yeah, I know I think wavy can afford to drop down a little bit

36:31.460 --> 36:36.780
I mean chronic is the big storyline not a lot of new things to say necessarily about my list versus Johnny

36:36.780 --> 36:38.780
I think he covered most because we had a pretty similar list

36:38.780 --> 36:43.460
But it's actually you know interesting that he had born and I had AJ and we were both right in some way because both of them

36:43.460 --> 36:45.960
And I got top 8 so ultimately

36:45.960 --> 36:49.960
the only thing to look at is

36:49.960 --> 36:50.960
chronic. I mean, chronic, we

36:50.960 --> 36:51.960
had him at three for a reason.

36:51.960 --> 36:53.960
Falling through is the big

36:53.960 --> 36:54.960
surprise here. Whether or not

36:54.960 --> 36:55.960
you order some of these players

36:55.960 --> 36:56.960
different, I think at the end

36:56.960 --> 36:57.960
of the day, Zach maybe could go

36:57.960 --> 36:58.960
higher. He could really prove it

36:58.960 --> 36:59.960
with his match against Diaz.

36:59.960 --> 37:00.960
But there's a good chance that

37:00.960 --> 37:02.960
he's in a decent spot as it is

37:02.960 --> 37:04.960
right now. It's just unfortunate

37:04.960 --> 37:05.960
that the one thing to highlight

37:05.960 --> 37:06.960
about this list is not something

37:06.960 --> 37:07.960
fun, it's something unfortunate

37:07.960 --> 37:08.960
with that.

37:08.960 --> 37:09.960
May I ask?

37:09.960 --> 37:10.960
Talking out.

37:10.960 --> 37:11.960
Hypothetical.

37:11.960 --> 37:12.960
Sure.

37:12.960 --> 37:13.960
Sure.

37:13.960 --> 37:14.960
I don't know if you got talked

37:14.960 --> 37:20.280
Is there anybody on the list that you would have in a top eight that didn't play and there's more than one

37:20.280 --> 37:24.520
Now you let me know I'm just curious. Well, I who didn't play like isn't Daniel basically

37:25.160 --> 37:27.160
That's it. That's the only person I'd be on the top eight

37:29.240 --> 37:32.000
Didn't play whose name starts with a D that you would put on the list

37:32.000 --> 37:36.200
I mean, it was pretty good at once. I think he could maybe sneak into a top eight

37:36.200 --> 37:40.600
But Daniel's really the only one I would expect to that would be the minimum expectation

37:40.600 --> 37:45.160
But it wouldn't be automatic, you know if Daniel's not practicing a lot of ones

37:45.160 --> 37:49.360
He's not gonna win this like the level is crazy high in this tournament with Diaz in particular

37:49.880 --> 37:53.760
Just being so consistent over the years if you're not really prepared for this

37:53.760 --> 37:56.920
You're not gonna take down Diaz on a good day on a good Diaz day

37:56.920 --> 38:03.440
So Daniel definitely, you know could have been a tough fight and and someone who is you know very eager to hype up

38:03.440 --> 38:05.920
Daniel as much as possible. I just want to let everyone know I agree

38:05.920 --> 38:06.880
I agree with Johnny as well

38:06.880 --> 38:08.960
You know he would not come into your as a favorite of the tournament

38:08.960 --> 38:10.480
He'd have to put in a little bit more practice.

38:10.480 --> 38:12.480
The Bunt has developed too much.

38:12.480 --> 38:16.040
I want to end the play, but he'd be like skirting in top eight

38:16.040 --> 38:17.960
and maybe going out in like the top six,

38:17.960 --> 38:19.920
unless he gave it a little bit more focus

38:19.920 --> 38:21.960
and refined his one skills.

38:21.960 --> 38:24.720
Listen, when you are the reigning defending 3v3 world

38:24.720 --> 38:27.160
champion, I don't mind you focusing on that game.

38:27.160 --> 38:29.240
Like, there's a good time to focus on three things.

38:29.240 --> 38:30.440
Is he focusing on the book?

38:30.440 --> 38:31.440
Oh, I knew it was coming.

38:31.440 --> 38:32.440
You said it was coming.

38:32.440 --> 38:33.440
I knew it was coming.

38:33.440 --> 38:35.640
You said it was the wrong dude on the wrong.

38:35.640 --> 38:36.920
He's got to be.

38:36.920 --> 38:37.760
You listen, I listen.

38:37.760 --> 38:38.240
I saw him ready.

38:38.240 --> 38:42.340
I'm assuming we clearly see that Johnny's two different people and you know, that was evil Johnny

38:50.580 --> 38:52.360
We got six minutes to kick off

38:52.360 --> 38:57.620
Let's start locking in to our first matchup of the day folks if you've got family and friends that you want to get to watch

38:57.620 --> 39:00.700
Rock Lee but maybe they don't play the game and watch it from the players perspective

39:00.700 --> 39:04.600
It's a little confusing check out the Carl's in his crowd camp which are TV such are least sports

39:04.600 --> 39:08.600
a sideline camera like you're viewing now and you can get to watch the match similar to watching a

39:08.600 --> 39:13.640
traditional sports viewing experience and hey it can just be an also an additional way to watch

39:13.640 --> 39:16.920
on your own. Pulled up on the second monitor you can get a second look at the plays like what

39:16.920 --> 39:20.520
happened there. I don't quite see what happened. Great way to enjoy the greatest e-sport in the

39:20.520 --> 39:25.080
world. Push that TV slash RLE sports. We have five matches today. I want to start off with

39:25.080 --> 39:28.840
Boren Wavy at the top. We're saving Zach and Diaz for the end and then again we have the

39:28.840 --> 39:32.600
Mina Grand Finals afterwards. We don't know who's going to be playing in that yet but it's going

39:32.600 --> 39:36.280
going to be spectacular in the winter. We'll play at the world champion for the title of

39:36.280 --> 39:41.800
1v1 world champion. We got AJ vs. Evo. We got Zapatoz vs. First Killer. Let's lock

39:41.800 --> 39:48.560
in with our first match of the day. Wavy trying to get some credit on Virtus Pro's name after

39:48.560 --> 39:52.480
the start of the season has not quite panned out. Meanwhile, on the other side, I want

39:52.480 --> 39:58.160
to talk about this man Bora. When we talk about AJ here, Bates, and how he's this long

39:58.160 --> 40:01.720
veteran story coming from 2018 still here.

40:01.720 --> 40:04.120
Bora came onto the scene here this year.

40:04.120 --> 40:06.200
Was a player that we have surprised all of us

40:06.200 --> 40:09.480
and has risen in popularity, has risen in pedigree.

40:09.480 --> 40:12.560
And as you're trying to continue that story in 2026

40:12.560 --> 40:13.880
in the 1v1 space.

40:13.880 --> 40:16.360
Yeah, I really have like Bora's performance in three.

40:16.360 --> 40:18.280
I think him and Evo, I know Evo supposedly

40:18.280 --> 40:20.160
has left the left left the squad.

40:20.160 --> 40:22.360
And now Bora, I don't know who didn't cause it picked up,

40:22.360 --> 40:25.560
but Bora, in the way that he was possessing the ball

40:25.560 --> 40:29.320
ability to do like his mechanics in a creative fashion in terms of the assist

40:29.320 --> 40:32.760
he wasn't necessarily cornered threes but he was getting by people and I think

40:32.760 --> 40:37.120
that is effective even in the 1v1 scene. Wavy obviously left left so now we got

40:37.120 --> 40:42.760
Wavy and Boar. He's on the broadcast screen but I do am interested in Boar's

40:42.760 --> 40:47.920
story just because like you said Wavy, he's hit the steam, honestly running, there was

40:47.920 --> 40:52.800
a rookie of the year in RCS he would be in that kind of conversation for sure

40:52.800 --> 40:56.800
and I do want to see what he can do against a player like Wavy, who's been around for a little bit,

40:56.800 --> 41:02.800
has obviously his world experience, and has also been a really great 1v1 player in North America for a little while now.

41:05.800 --> 41:09.800
Yeah, at the end of the match up here, Fear, between the play styles you've seen from Bora and Wavy,

41:09.800 --> 41:12.800
we've been talking about, we've had a lot about Wavy's play style yesterday,

41:12.800 --> 41:16.800
is there any exciting details about the way that these two line up against each other?

41:16.800 --> 41:21.800
Yeah, I think if both of them play the games that they played yesterday,

41:21.800 --> 41:26.640
We are going to see Bora just flying around the map going for clips going for tough angles

41:26.640 --> 41:31.280
I don't know if he just felt comfortable in that last round that we watched him in yesterday against lozie

41:31.520 --> 41:36.520
Because it was all close games, but he was you know dominating and doing it in style

41:36.840 --> 41:40.560
Wavy has played not his his best ones game

41:40.560 --> 41:42.240
He's played a little bit scared now

41:42.240 --> 41:47.180
He's in the lower bracket oftentimes that leads to players playing even more scared than they did before so

41:47.180 --> 41:49.520
You know wavy is trying to slow the game down

41:49.520 --> 41:50.360
He's trying to roll it.

41:50.360 --> 41:52.620
He's trying to just get low fifties right now.

41:52.620 --> 41:54.480
Bora is going to try and attack through the air.

41:54.480 --> 41:57.920
If Bora is on form and he hits a few clips to start early,

41:57.920 --> 42:01.520
he can really snowball that and potentially run away with it,

42:01.520 --> 42:04.520
with the series that is favored for wavy.

42:04.520 --> 42:06.720
OK, OK, well, folks, let us know who you think

42:06.720 --> 42:08.040
is going to win in the chat.

42:08.040 --> 42:09.440
We'll make our picks on the desk as well.

42:09.440 --> 42:11.040
Bates, you get to start things off here.

42:11.040 --> 42:11.540
I know.

42:11.540 --> 42:12.040
I like it.

42:12.040 --> 42:13.840
It's been a while since I've been on wind.

42:13.840 --> 42:15.640
And this is back at home.

42:15.640 --> 42:16.840
It's all since Ricky Bates.

42:16.840 --> 42:18.080
And all since Ricky Bates, look, he

42:18.080 --> 42:19.080
I'm just talking about.

42:19.080 --> 42:20.080
Somebody else is a rookie who's

42:20.080 --> 42:21.080
interested in running.

42:21.080 --> 42:22.080
Give me more.

42:22.080 --> 42:23.080
I like what fear is talking

42:23.080 --> 42:24.080
about.

42:24.080 --> 42:25.080
Confidence.

42:25.080 --> 42:26.080
Execution.

42:26.080 --> 42:27.080
Just throw it out.

42:27.080 --> 42:28.080
Put it all on the field and let

42:28.080 --> 42:29.080
the bygones be bygones.

42:29.080 --> 42:30.080
Let's see what happens.

42:30.080 --> 42:31.080
I got more right here.

42:31.080 --> 42:32.080
All righty.

42:32.080 --> 42:33.080
Fear.

42:33.080 --> 42:34.080
You know, I did just do a

42:34.080 --> 42:35.080
decent amount of piping up of

42:35.080 --> 42:36.080
Bora, but I've watched so many

42:36.080 --> 42:37.080
different ones matches over the

42:37.080 --> 42:38.080
course of the years.

42:38.080 --> 42:39.080
And and baby has really moved

42:39.080 --> 42:40.080
his way up into the top ranks.

42:40.080 --> 42:41.080
So I think he's going to clutch

42:41.080 --> 42:42.080
up today.

42:42.080 --> 42:43.080
I think that he'll he'll play

42:43.080 --> 42:44.080
the next game.

42:44.080 --> 42:45.080
I think he's going to play

42:45.080 --> 42:46.080
the next game.

42:46.080 --> 42:47.080
I think he's going to play

42:47.080 --> 42:49.720
I think that he'll play a little bit better than he did yesterday.

42:49.720 --> 42:53.000
He should be able to force a one-style, maybe a little bit against Bora.

42:53.000 --> 42:54.880
There's that chance that Bora could come away with this.

42:54.880 --> 42:57.280
This is closer than it probably should be based on what we saw between them,

42:57.280 --> 42:59.160
but I still gotta go with Wavy.

42:59.160 --> 43:01.280
Okay, okay, Johnny.

43:01.280 --> 43:05.640
You know, I had Bora make it to all-fate, but that's all for Bora, unfortunately.

43:05.640 --> 43:07.040
I think it's a new day for Wavy.

43:07.040 --> 43:11.200
I think that he's gonna be more confident today and show us what he's really about,

43:11.200 --> 43:12.760
because he should be a contender.

43:12.760 --> 43:13.840
He didn't look like one yesterday.

43:13.840 --> 43:16.200
I think today, though, he's gonna remind us how good he is.

43:16.200 --> 43:18.280
So yeah, I'm going for Wavy.

43:18.280 --> 43:20.080
We talked already about first killer

43:20.080 --> 43:22.640
being a player that had to make it to the lower bracket in 2025.

43:22.640 --> 43:24.720
We talked about AJ starting that was in the lower bracket

43:24.720 --> 43:27.280
last year, and he's in the upper bracket this year.

43:27.280 --> 43:28.760
But my memory serves me correctly.

43:28.760 --> 43:31.720
Wavy was upper bracket last year in his lower bracket

43:31.720 --> 43:32.320
this year.

43:32.320 --> 43:33.920
We were talking about him not having the best performance

43:33.920 --> 43:35.640
yesterday because he was playing conservative.

43:35.640 --> 43:37.320
You said it yourself, your fear.

43:37.320 --> 43:38.920
You feel like now he's in the lower bracket.

43:38.920 --> 43:41.320
You might double down on that conservation.

43:41.320 --> 43:43.440
Bora, who's maybe not supposed to be here making it through

43:43.440 --> 43:46.000
with the clips, I feel like he's got some momentum behind him

43:46.000 --> 43:47.380
And this might be a trap game for Wavey.

43:47.380 --> 43:48.880
Give me four on this one, folks.

43:48.880 --> 43:50.380
It is close.

43:50.380 --> 43:51.280
We're split on the desk.

43:51.280 --> 43:54.120
How do you feel about it in chat?

43:54.120 --> 43:56.760
We've got the Virtus.Pro versus Dignitas also.

43:56.760 --> 43:58.080
Some popular fan bases here.

43:58.080 --> 44:00.600
Wavey and the Virtus.Pro boys have been very, very popular

44:00.600 --> 44:01.000
in the season.

44:01.000 --> 44:03.080
It's going to be split right down the middle.

44:03.080 --> 44:05.280
Dignitas, though, has built a legacy here in Rockley,

44:05.280 --> 44:07.360
one of the most storied organizations we've got.

44:07.360 --> 44:09.680
And they have a great new champion here in Bora.

44:09.680 --> 44:11.440
Can he make it through to Championship Sunday?

44:11.440 --> 44:13.360
This is an elimination matchup.

44:13.360 --> 44:14.560
One player moves forward.

44:14.560 --> 44:15.760
One player moves home.

44:15.760 --> 44:20.880
Organizations represented looking for future glory here folks. What a way to kick off playoff Saturday

44:20.880 --> 44:23.920
It's dignitas and Bora versus Virtus Pro and waiting

44:28.080 --> 44:30.820
There we go, wavy is a name you are

44:31.600 --> 44:39.660
familiar with if you follow the North American 1v1 scene wavy a contender always just missing out on being the best buddy

44:39.660 --> 44:46.780
fight to get there. It's this newcomer Bora who made a big splash in the scene coming out of nowhere

44:46.780 --> 44:53.100
in the RLCS 3v3 scene. Apparently discovered in the 2v2 scene and I guess he's also pretty good

44:53.100 --> 45:00.060
at ones as well as we have a role one right off kickoff. Whoa, that was good stuff there.

45:02.380 --> 45:06.700
James, how you doing? Good. I thought I was alone for a second. I'm glad you made it.

45:06.700 --> 45:10.100
I'm glad I made it, listen, I'm glad I made it too.

45:10.100 --> 45:11.780
The blame is right there about telling you who's not

45:11.780 --> 45:12.540
in this really thing.

45:12.540 --> 45:13.540
Wavey and Bora.

45:13.540 --> 45:15.500
I'm very excited to have this matchup in particular with that.

45:15.500 --> 45:16.780
Let me tell you.

45:16.780 --> 45:18.660
Here's also something that's talking about Wavey and Bora.

45:18.660 --> 45:21.220
Bora's just been so much more aggressive than Wavey has.

45:21.220 --> 45:23.900
And I do think that in one, this pure aggression that's

45:23.900 --> 45:27.980
like, boy, this show right here really pays the deputy.

45:27.980 --> 45:29.780
Good start here from Bora.

45:29.780 --> 45:30.700
It's a good dribble.

45:30.700 --> 45:32.460
Waiting, waiting, waiting.

45:32.460 --> 45:36.380
You can see Wavey never committed.

45:36.380 --> 45:38.540
But you're right, I was watching a little bit yesterday.

45:38.540 --> 45:40.300
T-Bates, obviously, I wasn't on the show,

45:40.300 --> 45:42.020
but I was still watching.

45:42.020 --> 45:44.780
And it did seem like Wiggy was playing extremely

45:44.780 --> 45:47.220
conservatively.

45:47.220 --> 45:49.740
See if he can have a bit more confidence today.

45:49.740 --> 45:52.620
Also, being able to execute the plays,

45:52.620 --> 45:56.140
he is very capable of executing.

45:56.140 --> 45:57.620
We'll have space here.

45:57.620 --> 45:58.420
Thank you for the air.

45:58.420 --> 46:01.220
This is that prime opportunity.

46:01.220 --> 46:02.820
Very good challenge from Warren.

46:02.820 --> 46:05.820
It might be a good amount of bounce to keep him in the play as well.

46:07.820 --> 46:13.820
Yeah, it's so far. I mean, Jamie, as a high-level player yourself, you know, you're an SSL type player.

46:13.820 --> 46:16.820
I don't know if you've ever been SSL in one. But wait, not in one.

46:16.820 --> 46:22.820
What are you looking for in one's players? It's born once again. This is another beautiful reset top-look shot.

46:22.820 --> 46:24.820
What are you looking for in one's players? I'm just curious.

46:24.820 --> 46:28.820
You know, I feel like there's such a wonderful variety of one's players.

46:28.820 --> 46:35.540
me, I really do enjoy players that have that killer instinct like a DS. You can just keep

46:36.100 --> 46:43.460
inching closer and closer and closer to net. And they just, they're so perfect, so perfect on

46:43.460 --> 46:48.740
executing on those windows. They don't panic whatsoever. It's incredibly low, but the consistency

46:48.740 --> 46:54.020
is always there. I think that consistency was a little bit tougher way yesterday.

46:54.020 --> 46:55.020
Okay.

46:55.020 --> 46:58.020
They need to mark out right now.

46:58.020 --> 47:02.180
But then the other part to beat, T-Ven Tide will be honest, loved watching players like

47:02.180 --> 47:03.180
Fortunes.

47:03.180 --> 47:04.180
We just go for the crazy.

47:04.180 --> 47:09.020
Not a 40 shot all on Saturday, it's when he goes right by a boy right here, shot all

47:09.020 --> 47:10.020
the 40 fans in check.

47:10.020 --> 47:11.020
Jaysbot is gonna rescue.

47:11.020 --> 47:16.020
I'm sure at some point, that's nice, that's not your own sense of vehicle cards.

47:16.020 --> 47:19.020
Jaysbot will mention NRG at some point on this call today.

47:19.020 --> 47:20.020
In this match.

47:20.020 --> 47:23.020
They're pretty far from this.

47:23.020 --> 47:28.460
from this. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. There's one

47:28.460 --> 47:31.740
has had a pretty good. It's a pretty good result against it.

47:31.740 --> 47:36.860
He's going to need it. There it is. I know I'm far enough so

47:36.860 --> 47:41.740
maybe I'm going to count. I'm going to say wait. I'm going to

47:41.740 --> 47:47.020
say he made a very close here. Maybe he's had a few chances

47:47.020 --> 47:51.580
where he is on ball opportunities to be created simple up and

47:51.580 --> 47:53.020
over here from Bora.

47:53.020 --> 47:56.980
This is not the way to go.

47:56.980 --> 47:57.620
Goes away.

47:57.620 --> 48:00.620
Now he's coming for his hand in the cookie jar.

48:00.620 --> 48:01.540
It's being all right there.

48:01.540 --> 48:03.540
He didn't really fully commit to that challenge.

48:03.540 --> 48:07.100
So you see Bora, kind of halfway turn

48:07.100 --> 48:09.580
after you got the boost towards wavy.

48:09.580 --> 48:11.620
And it ultimately decided I should go for it.

48:11.620 --> 48:14.340
But that's the moment of hesitation.

48:14.340 --> 48:15.540
Made all the difference.

48:15.540 --> 48:16.780
We just have to move right here.

48:16.780 --> 48:18.060
There's no room for that from Bora.

48:18.060 --> 48:20.460
If no Bora is in the court, wavy makes all the mistakes.

48:20.460 --> 48:20.960
Wow!

48:20.960 --> 48:21.460
Flips!

48:21.960 --> 48:22.960
And gets a touch in!

48:23.460 --> 48:24.960
Yeah, this is crazy for Bora.

48:24.960 --> 48:25.460
Look at him.

48:25.460 --> 48:29.960
He has one small pat, picks up another small pat, cuts the dribble quickly.

48:29.960 --> 48:36.960
Wavy was thinking that he had done enough there denying the boost for Bora to get that corner boost to be able to retain his action.

48:36.960 --> 48:39.960
But Bora catching Wavy out right there.

48:40.460 --> 48:43.960
And I've been really enjoying the fuller instinct for Bora.

48:45.460 --> 48:46.460
Nicely done.

48:46.460 --> 48:48.460
Seems to be nice

49:03.500 --> 49:06.820
More space for wavy so TV to a suit he does with this time

49:12.020 --> 49:14.020
Oh, it's a demo

49:16.460 --> 49:21.260
was so slow. 30 seconds really is a long time. I was thinking even with the update,

49:21.260 --> 49:25.660
he would be able to get back at this, but no center. Even with the update, he's still

49:25.660 --> 49:30.300
just, obviously about a second too late of the respawn. And maybe kind of gets a wave

49:30.300 --> 49:35.380
one right there. And even about 20 seconds ago, Gore had some frustration on his camera.

49:35.380 --> 49:40.860
And he missed the empty neck. And he really should have put a way to make it 4-2 at that

49:40.860 --> 49:45.540
point instead. Now we're tied up 3-3 and Gore just gives away another one. Easy, go over

49:45.540 --> 49:47.540
I'll poke him from Wavy.

49:47.540 --> 49:50.540
Wavy just wondering what Orro does.

49:50.540 --> 49:53.540
Orro is trying to go for a pinch.

49:53.540 --> 49:56.540
He didn't get much distance.

49:56.540 --> 50:00.540
And did that be an opportunity there for Wavy to make the shot?

50:00.540 --> 50:03.540
Orro, you know he was trying to pinch that all the way across.

50:03.540 --> 50:06.540
Even though Wavy hasn't looked incredibly polished,

50:06.540 --> 50:09.540
he hasn't been able to do enough to get back in the loop here.

50:09.540 --> 50:11.540
I

50:14.260 --> 50:16.260
Say yeah, I mean

50:16.740 --> 50:18.500
your point James

50:18.500 --> 50:20.140
What do you want to feel like it's game over?

50:20.140 --> 50:22.660
You don't necessarily need to be the most polished every single match

50:22.660 --> 50:25.860
You just need to do enough take advantage of the other players mistakes there

50:25.860 --> 50:30.620
They're a little error, but even an error like that maybe has no boost or feels threatened

50:30.980 --> 50:33.900
It's the ball right back into him. Maybe really didn't have much right here

50:33.900 --> 50:38.480
You brought the ball back down or really to the right. I like that that brought into his own corner instead

50:38.480 --> 50:39.780
He can't.

50:39.780 --> 50:40.940
Those are right at Wavy.

50:40.940 --> 50:42.940
This gives up another 3B.

50:42.940 --> 50:43.740
Yeah, you're right.

50:43.740 --> 50:46.660
Bates, you don't always have to be so perfect on your flick.

50:46.660 --> 50:51.340
Sometimes, if you're reading the opponent's background,

50:51.340 --> 50:52.540
you can't pick up a hole.

50:52.540 --> 50:53.180
Not in.

50:53.180 --> 50:54.740
It's off the bar for Bora.

50:54.740 --> 50:57.660
And now Wavy, she ports that.

50:57.660 --> 51:00.380
Good small pad pick up for Bora, but he's still not out of it

51:00.380 --> 51:01.220
yet.

51:01.220 --> 51:02.140
Blade challenge.

51:02.140 --> 51:04.620
There's the bump from Wavy, and that shot was too high.

51:04.620 --> 51:06.440
And now could be a goal on the other end,

51:06.440 --> 51:10.120
Fora flipping to it does get it on target.

51:10.120 --> 51:14.600
Fora turning that rock situation on its head.

51:14.600 --> 51:17.400
All thanks to Wavy, he's setting that shot high.

51:17.400 --> 51:19.640
Yeah, fora from Wavy right there.

51:19.640 --> 51:21.800
Instead of just not enough confidence in his ability,

51:21.800 --> 51:24.440
he played it initially great.

51:24.440 --> 51:26.160
Into shot and they kick off, make more,

51:26.160 --> 51:28.360
I'm not gonna kick off on their counter attack.

51:28.360 --> 51:30.680
Made Fora half the use of his boost to get the save.

51:30.680 --> 51:32.560
Put him in an awkward spot.

51:32.560 --> 51:34.760
Ozzy was proud to see another pop shot playing,

51:34.760 --> 51:39.100
slow play way too concerned right there came back to bite him once again I

51:39.100 --> 51:42.440
find that to be a two-goal swing a player a wavy's caliber should be able

51:42.440 --> 51:45.880
to put that home at least get another at least one more threatening

51:45.880 --> 51:50.840
opportunity I'm a five four board us for the side wall right here time makes

51:50.840 --> 51:53.840
something happen gets it right by wavy and I were five five is the little

51:53.840 --> 51:59.440
homestayings the little moments in one yeah it's a beautiful reason wavy coming

51:59.440 --> 52:03.840
off the ceiling and immediate push forward from Bora or doing well

52:03.840 --> 52:08.840
Maintaining vision, and a lot of it is just playing off the opponent's team.

52:08.840 --> 52:12.840
When they commit, when they dive in, they've got some little touch-around.

52:12.840 --> 52:14.840
Well done by Marguerite still.

52:14.840 --> 52:18.840
Continues to take these to the air. Wimper a little touch above, and Wavy reads that.

52:18.840 --> 52:20.840
Now should have an open net goal.

52:20.840 --> 52:24.840
The quick challenge from Wavy shuts down Borers' aerial play.

52:24.840 --> 52:27.840
And at first, if you don't succeed, try, try again.

52:27.840 --> 52:30.840
Well, Wavy went for that same challenge.

52:30.840 --> 52:35.920
It's literally five second run of that and it didn't work out for him. He said don't worry. He's not confident my ability

52:35.920 --> 52:39.720
I'll do it again. He ends up winning that challenge as it seemed.

52:39.720 --> 52:42.680
Bora go for that early reset every single time so

52:43.960 --> 52:49.340
If Bora keeps doing that and Wavy can get those fast challenges shut down that ball right after this first set

52:49.340 --> 52:50.760
but for the crew

52:50.760 --> 52:57.000
Before Bora has a chance to play around and there's a demo Wavy has landed a lot of key demos here

52:57.000 --> 52:59.380
Now, the landing on the ceiling has his flip.

52:59.380 --> 53:01.080
Wait, wait, wait, shoots it!

53:01.080 --> 53:03.040
Top corner!

53:03.040 --> 53:05.280
Great execution here from Winston.

53:05.280 --> 53:07.720
Great execution.

53:07.720 --> 53:10.380
This off the top right corner, Bora.

53:10.380 --> 53:12.120
He's all in the top left side of the net.

53:12.120 --> 53:13.620
He's got a tower early.

53:13.620 --> 53:15.360
In any end of land, the challenge

53:15.360 --> 53:18.360
just gives way more time to pick his five.

53:18.360 --> 53:21.000
Now, this isn't a way to be able to finish in that position,

53:21.000 --> 53:22.360
but of course he can finish that position.

53:22.360 --> 53:24.760
He's top learning the game in the year 2026.

53:24.760 --> 53:27.840
He's going to contact, it's not going to happen.

53:27.840 --> 53:29.320
Wait, we'll take game number one.

53:29.320 --> 53:31.560
And I said there's a couple of moments,

53:31.560 --> 53:34.960
couple of small moments in this game made all the difference.

53:34.960 --> 53:36.480
And even looking at the demos too,

53:36.480 --> 53:38.440
Wavy actually got the key demo just like you said.

53:38.440 --> 53:41.400
Yeah, I don't remember more than that many demos.

53:41.400 --> 53:45.160
I think it was the demos that really made a difference.

53:45.160 --> 53:48.160
Wavy, you saw one particular play that sticks out

53:48.160 --> 53:51.600
in my mind, which was a big turning point in that game,

53:51.600 --> 53:54.640
was when Wavy poached his flick, if you remember that.

53:54.640 --> 53:57.120
He completely blocked his flick.

53:57.120 --> 53:59.480
And you're thinking that this is a counterattack opportunity

53:59.480 --> 54:04.000
from Ora, but somehow, Wavy was able to land a demo on Bora.

54:04.000 --> 54:06.400
And then Wavy was able to score that,

54:06.400 --> 54:08.760
turn it into a goal himself.

54:08.760 --> 54:11.640
So Wavy, you know, in the foot department,

54:11.640 --> 54:15.920
has it been as on point as we've seen him in the past?

54:15.920 --> 54:19.240
Ora looking like he's got teeth offensively,

54:19.240 --> 54:21.920
but defensively, he's been letting Wavy connect

54:21.920 --> 54:23.360
on a few too many demos.

54:23.360 --> 54:32.160
You know, a couple mishaps from Borah, like some of the counterattacks on some of just

54:32.160 --> 54:38.160
the, I believe it's about to do it, especially when Wavy has the ball, I don't need to panic,

54:38.160 --> 54:40.160
just got to play our game.

54:40.160 --> 54:44.160
If you're Borah, ours and Borah, he has to play his game, man.

54:44.160 --> 54:45.660
It might be a little more successful.

54:45.660 --> 54:48.360
I'm about to have to praise our kickoff either in that game, either though.

54:48.360 --> 54:50.840
Yeah, we saw, we saw a few play it.

54:50.840 --> 54:56.560
The first kickoff was probably the most entertaining kickoff of the game where they sat there locked up for a second.

54:57.480 --> 55:00.280
But you're right, we didn't see a ton of crazy kickoffs.

55:01.040 --> 55:04.240
Wavy able to pull ahead in that game.

55:04.240 --> 55:09.800
I think though for, oh, looks like the get a new server up here in just a moment.

55:10.840 --> 55:12.920
But Wavy doing just enough.

55:13.120 --> 55:20.440
I think Wavy successfully reading Bora and multiple of those exchanges.

55:20.440 --> 55:25.440
And that little bit of extra ability being able to read the opponent, read the play because of how the opponent is playing,

55:25.440 --> 55:28.440
allowed Wavy, I think, to steal that victory.

55:28.440 --> 55:33.440
He was able to get out of few sticky situations.

55:33.440 --> 55:39.440
But, Aura, I think, has shown us in that game alone that you cannot be sleeping on him.

55:39.440 --> 55:44.440
No, you can't be sleeping on him. He's not to be played around with.

55:44.440 --> 55:50.720
Yeah, you had a big somebody James. I was I know you're casting this match, but I'm gonna get you. I'm actually you're on the desk

55:50.880 --> 55:56.280
If you had to pay you had to fix about a one-term who you be so I I ran a little bit myself just

55:57.040 --> 55:59.040
within the last year or so

55:59.520 --> 56:00.480
And

56:00.480 --> 56:06.580
Wavy was pretty dominant. Wavy was a very difficult player to beat really the only player

56:07.200 --> 56:12.080
That was able to take it to wavy was Diaz Diaz was wavy's kryptonite

56:12.080 --> 56:17.960
Obviously, Wavy did fall to Zach earlier in this tournament, but aside from those two,

56:17.960 --> 56:22.120
I would have to back Wavy as being a very strong contender.

56:22.120 --> 56:25.560
Obviously, first killer up there as well.

56:25.560 --> 56:32.200
But in this matchup, I would have to go with Wavy's experience, his composure, his results.

56:32.200 --> 56:35.200
Everything points to him being the favorite in this match.

56:35.200 --> 56:37.520
It makes sense to me.

56:37.520 --> 56:38.520
It makes sense to me.

56:38.520 --> 56:43.680
It's a way for this lobby to load on up here, baby back in ready to go for game number two

56:46.920 --> 56:52.180
Borah though if Bora can can make some adjustments

56:53.200 --> 56:57.880
Successfully dodged these demo attempts. I think continue take it to the air

56:57.880 --> 57:02.280
We'll see he had a good amount of success in the air as well. Also his flicks were looking pretty good

57:03.020 --> 57:08.100
But we'll see if he can maintain possession. Wavey's been doing a great job of zoning bor out most part

57:08.520 --> 57:15.520
But Bora, I think the best part of his game is definitely that offensive prowess.

57:15.520 --> 57:18.520
We'll see how he can keep getting those aerial opportunities.

57:18.520 --> 57:21.520
Pretty much every single time, though, was going for an early reset.

57:21.520 --> 57:25.520
You see Wavey, one of his big plays, instead of going for that reset,

57:25.520 --> 57:28.520
instead landed on the ceiling, was able to snipe that top right corner.

57:28.520 --> 57:31.520
So although Bora has that very good aerial play,

57:31.520 --> 57:34.520
you will need to mix it up just a little bit because Wavey,

57:34.520 --> 57:38.520
not afraid to just drive up off the ceiling and challenge quickly like you saw.

57:39.520 --> 57:40.520
He's not, maybe.

57:41.520 --> 57:46.520
It's a little dangerous play from Wavy though, because I mean, it can work sometimes, but if Boris starts to see that,

57:46.520 --> 57:49.520
he can adjust, he can start playing a little bit slower, bring the ball further out,

57:49.520 --> 57:53.520
get in a 50-50 there, and might bring Wavy way out the plate.

57:53.520 --> 57:55.520
Boris is gonna have to walk in the air.

57:56.520 --> 57:58.520
I can't remember who's starting off there, they're all competitive.

57:58.520 --> 58:00.520
There's two of them, Wavy is up.

58:00.520 --> 58:03.520
One in the series on the first game, seven to five.

58:04.520 --> 58:11.520
Four weeks to the players still trying to bring themselves out in the series, but so far they've been going off to the fierce great analysis on the pre-show.

58:11.520 --> 58:14.520
Maybe has been a little more passive and more aggressive.

58:14.520 --> 58:17.520
Maybe they've got the experience.

58:17.520 --> 58:22.520
Another landing on the ceiling, man.

58:22.520 --> 58:28.520
Oh! But it's around the ball. Also the corner doesn't spawn, so I'm going to have to go all the way back.

58:28.520 --> 58:33.040
He was all back cornered, and he could see the panic on Wavy's face.

58:33.040 --> 58:35.160
It wasn't quite true where Moro was.

58:35.160 --> 58:39.280
You could think, or you could tell that Wavy was thinking he'd have to dodge the demo,

58:39.280 --> 58:43.440
which led to that less than ideal touch from Wavy.

58:43.440 --> 58:46.440
Moro knew that he had Wavy in the hot seat.

58:46.440 --> 58:47.440
Exactly.

58:47.440 --> 58:50.440
Actually, Wavy looked back behind him, just a little flick.

58:50.440 --> 58:54.360
It's a right stick to see where he was, so all that form was coming, and you're riding

58:54.360 --> 58:55.360
on the money today.

58:55.360 --> 58:58.200
He was worried about the demo, that led to the panic.

58:58.200 --> 59:00.880
That's a little, I'm saying a little swap don't,

59:00.880 --> 59:02.600
it holds me in the costume.

59:02.600 --> 59:03.640
The ones with the long game,

59:03.640 --> 59:04.840
Wavy should be composed right here.

59:04.840 --> 59:06.320
Might be able to get a go out of it.

59:06.320 --> 59:08.240
If he gets shot up, doesn't take it.

59:08.240 --> 59:10.320
War goes up high, Wavy's on the post.

59:11.800 --> 59:12.880
Opportunity goes awry.

59:14.120 --> 59:17.040
For the dribble, now this book's gonna be deadly.

59:17.040 --> 59:20.720
There's the flick, saved off the post.

59:20.720 --> 59:22.280
Before I can have another go,

59:22.280 --> 59:25.040
Ground to air. Reset is there.

59:25.040 --> 59:27.400
Weight dash dribble, shut down.

59:27.400 --> 59:28.960
Bursal is denied.

59:28.960 --> 59:33.640
He's waiting for a zero boost for a stable fighter in space.

59:33.640 --> 59:34.840
What are we deciding to do?

59:34.840 --> 59:37.360
Decide to take it up the side wall now.

59:37.360 --> 59:39.240
First touch, and you'll reset.

59:39.240 --> 59:41.800
Weight off the ceiling again. There's the 50.

59:41.800 --> 59:44.640
He's going to be facing the left side.

59:44.640 --> 59:46.240
Trying to stay alive.

59:46.240 --> 59:48.240
This is Mora out.

59:48.240 --> 59:51.240
That weight has lost.

59:51.240 --> 59:55.240
Maybe it's kind of taking advantage of the ball of this.

59:55.240 --> 59:57.240
In the sizing is on defense in moments.

59:57.240 --> 59:59.240
But Boer doesn't make a quick jump right here.

59:59.240 --> 01:00:02.240
If I get to go out of it, maybe flips, and that was all Boer on the process.

01:00:02.240 --> 01:00:04.240
Maybe put the great pass in check.

01:00:04.240 --> 01:00:06.240
Boer's in it, no problem.

01:00:06.240 --> 01:00:08.240
Nice shot.

01:00:08.240 --> 01:00:10.240
Whoever, there's a little team playing 1v1.

01:00:10.240 --> 01:00:13.240
You don't usually see that that often in one game.

01:00:13.240 --> 01:00:17.240
Yeah, but you know, you'll love seeing it when you do see it.

01:00:17.240 --> 01:00:23.240
That makes sense to me.

01:00:23.240 --> 01:00:32.240
As I'm talking about though, I do think that Wavy, I don't know if he's noticed it yet, but there are moments, especially when Wavy has to ball before.

01:00:32.240 --> 01:00:37.240
He's definitely worried about what Wavy's capable of, but Wavy's just not bringing it.

01:00:37.240 --> 01:00:38.240
And...

01:00:38.240 --> 01:00:42.320
A little bit more confidence when Wavy especially when he's on the attack, when he's propped

01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:45.320
it up high like here, he's aggressive, trying to make a play happen.

01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:46.320
Boom!

01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:49.720
It does pay its dividends, because automatically he immediately scores, and a great job boost

01:00:49.720 --> 01:00:50.720
started.

01:00:50.720 --> 01:00:51.720
Yeah.

01:00:51.720 --> 01:00:52.720
We're having no answer.

01:00:52.720 --> 01:00:53.720
The boost start was there.

01:00:53.720 --> 01:00:54.720
Look at this.

01:00:54.720 --> 01:00:55.720
Goes for a reset.

01:00:55.720 --> 01:00:56.720
Didn't get it.

01:00:56.720 --> 01:00:57.720
Actually gets a slight pogo.

01:00:57.720 --> 01:01:02.720
You can see that extra little power all the more of one pretty booseless.

01:01:02.720 --> 01:01:05.920
pretty useless then wait until he's able to air dribble that to the corner

01:01:06.640 --> 01:01:08.000
where are you gonna get that reset?

01:01:08.000 --> 01:01:09.280
how are you gonna get your health?

01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:17.200
four on four on our go-to

01:01:20.000 --> 01:01:20.560
to the side

01:01:21.120 --> 01:01:24.640
boards are going for the middle way before it's time to go reset

01:01:25.280 --> 01:01:26.000
don't blow!

01:01:26.640 --> 01:01:29.200
and you saw borr was scrambling back

01:01:29.200 --> 01:01:31.760
knew he had to get to the immediate get back in position

01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:33.760
Never got comfortable.

01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:36.760
That's not a way to do something. I don't know what to do.

01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:38.760
Yeah, he is so important.

01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:42.760
He was trying to cover both options. He was trying to be ready in case Wavy would flip.

01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:44.760
He's at top corner.

01:01:44.760 --> 01:01:46.760
Wasn't expecting Wavy to go low.

01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:51.760
That's going to be looking back.

01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:53.760
I should be able to stop that every single time.

01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:56.760
Especially when Wavy makes a mistake and even right here.

01:01:56.760 --> 01:01:59.760
Bora, once again, panic on defense.

01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:03.760
He's in an awkward position a little bit, but you don't need to just pop it back down to Wavy.

01:02:03.760 --> 01:02:06.760
He gave him back to assist, he gave you.

01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:12.760
And that's where Wavy has excelled in this matchup, is he's been letting Korra make those mistakes.

01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:16.760
Blaze can serve it in, Blaze off of his opponents.

01:02:16.760 --> 01:02:18.760
He's been trying to be too fancy.

01:02:18.760 --> 01:02:20.760
Got to reset.

01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:23.760
He used it before he was back down to the ground.

01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:25.760
Oh, what a flick.

01:02:25.760 --> 01:02:27.760
What a flick from Gorge.

01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:29.760
Ain't even talking about it.

01:02:29.760 --> 01:02:31.760
The poor flick's happening good.

01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:33.760
I'd say Gorge's all-for-off, but the Arsenal has been good.

01:02:33.760 --> 01:02:35.760
It's a defense that's been giving me a lot of questions.

01:02:35.760 --> 01:02:37.760
That's a nice flick.

01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:39.760
Takes advantage of waiting to go on for the mid-left boost.

01:02:39.760 --> 01:02:41.760
And listen, you want to be greedy. You don't want to take the pass.

01:02:41.760 --> 01:02:43.760
I got a free net every single time.

01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:49.760
Maybe again.

01:02:49.760 --> 01:02:51.760
We'll poke that. Go ahead, goal in.

01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:59.640
Wavy, free flip touch, sets up the rebound.

01:02:59.640 --> 01:03:02.400
That was a very small margin of error on that.

01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:06.360
Leave a free flip touch, be able to stay on top of the ball.

01:03:06.360 --> 01:03:08.800
Now you can see the delayed kickoff here from Wavy

01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:12.000
gets bumped off the ball.

01:03:12.000 --> 01:03:16.840
Mora has to give it away, Wavy.

01:03:16.840 --> 01:03:18.520
Muscles to the possession back.

01:03:18.520 --> 01:03:22.400
That's the ball off the hook, tries to dribble around.

01:03:22.400 --> 01:03:26.040
There's the pinch goal, comes your pinch right in your neck.

01:03:26.040 --> 01:03:28.720
You thought you were safe, Wavy, but you weren't.

01:03:28.720 --> 01:03:31.080
He went for it again, little one, and didn't pay dividends.

01:03:31.080 --> 01:03:34.360
He said, why not go for it again?

01:03:34.360 --> 01:03:35.760
Wavy throws out a nice one in the shed,

01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:38.560
and that's well deserved.

01:03:38.560 --> 01:03:41.240
Beautiful play from Goren right there, Wavy once again.

01:03:41.240 --> 01:03:42.440
Got greedy for the foosie.

01:03:42.440 --> 01:03:45.200
He might not go make that same mistake three times in a row.

01:03:45.200 --> 01:03:47.720
He's on thinking, and then Goren gets his first kickoff

01:03:47.720 --> 01:03:52.120
goal of the series in a big way.

01:03:52.120 --> 01:03:53.120
Huge one.

01:03:53.120 --> 01:03:55.120
Side flip kickoff.

01:03:55.120 --> 01:03:56.120
Push that through.

01:03:56.120 --> 01:03:59.120
And that's off the back of the Cooksor pitch goal.

01:03:59.120 --> 01:04:03.120
And like you said, T-Bates, we saw Bora attempt a Cooksor pitch earlier.

01:04:03.120 --> 01:04:06.120
And it ended up giving a goal to Wavy, but he didn't care.

01:04:06.120 --> 01:04:08.120
He goes for it again.

01:04:08.120 --> 01:04:10.120
Saw that small window that Wavy gave him.

01:04:10.120 --> 01:04:12.120
He crushed it.

01:04:15.120 --> 01:04:18.120
Wavy's got a wavy one right there.

01:04:18.120 --> 01:04:20.120
Wavy landed.

01:04:20.120 --> 01:04:22.120
It's a tiny bit awkward, we didn't land it on fours.

01:04:22.120 --> 01:04:24.120
Borah has given him another assist.

01:04:24.120 --> 01:04:28.120
Borah, slow down on defense, please.

01:04:28.120 --> 01:04:31.120
But that's what we were saying before he vades.

01:04:31.120 --> 01:04:33.120
Borah's offense has been looking good.

01:04:33.120 --> 01:04:40.120
Defensively though, it's where you tell that his game is not as strong.

01:04:42.120 --> 01:04:44.120
Taking to the air, will it be another reset?

01:04:44.120 --> 01:04:47.120
Takes a first touch, now on to the set later.

01:04:47.120 --> 01:04:49.120
Back down to the ground, wave dash control.

01:04:49.120 --> 01:04:52.040
Oh, picking Wavy apart.

01:04:52.040 --> 01:04:54.600
And the nice move, looking like Nass, an EU.

01:04:54.600 --> 01:04:56.360
Nass does get a little more speed on his,

01:04:56.360 --> 01:04:58.280
but still a wave dash.

01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:01.520
Right to left, cut it back to the right.

01:05:01.520 --> 01:05:03.520
Left Wavy, a no-man's land, and it's just

01:05:03.520 --> 01:05:05.640
such a threatening position off the kickoff.

01:05:05.640 --> 01:05:07.520
No matter what region you're in.

01:05:07.520 --> 01:05:11.520
Three KG before right here, no way to get back.

01:05:11.520 --> 01:05:12.960
Quick, maybe other meters are ready.

01:05:12.960 --> 01:05:15.280
Maybe he's got the boost, but at the right timing,

01:05:15.280 --> 01:05:20.040
It does bounces just far enough off the back wall.

01:05:20.040 --> 01:05:22.040
The hustle rewarded from Wavy.

01:05:22.040 --> 01:05:24.000
Moore went all in on that shot,

01:05:24.000 --> 01:05:25.600
tried to score the kickoff goal,

01:05:25.600 --> 01:05:26.880
but Wavy had it covered.

01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:28.600
Should have had it covered.

01:05:28.600 --> 01:05:31.000
I thought it was a four goal conclusion.

01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:33.160
And Wavy, they have more of what we scored right there,

01:05:33.160 --> 01:05:35.200
but we ultimately did it.

01:05:35.200 --> 01:05:36.440
Moore does play well off that,

01:05:36.440 --> 01:05:38.480
Wavy that kickoff of both players.

01:05:38.480 --> 01:05:40.600
He went to the mid-boost in that moment.

01:05:40.600 --> 01:05:41.920
Wavy once said, don't mind if I do,

01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:44.760
easy goal, more time, get a 50-50 right here.

01:05:44.760 --> 01:05:48.760
That's for Wavy and August from Bore, collects the corner boob, stuff within the sky, you go.

01:05:48.760 --> 01:05:50.760
Wavy's there to meet him, takes a shot.

01:05:50.760 --> 01:05:52.760
Very challenge from Wavy, shuts it all down.

01:05:52.760 --> 01:05:54.760
He's still slow to get back.

01:05:56.760 --> 01:05:58.760
There's the demo.

01:05:58.760 --> 01:06:00.760
Bore cut it back quickly enough.

01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:04.760
Yes he can. Bore will take advantage of that demo.

01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:08.760
And has this one goal lead with 21 seconds left on the clock.

01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:10.760
Sure does, and it is.

01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:12.680
I think it's first big demo of the series.

01:06:12.680 --> 01:06:14.720
I got his first big kickoff goal.

01:06:14.720 --> 01:06:16.560
And his first big demo of the set too.

01:06:16.560 --> 01:06:18.160
Making the adjustments from game number one.

01:06:18.160 --> 01:06:22.320
We didn't see either of those two moments in the game

01:06:22.320 --> 01:06:24.080
going in his way.

01:06:24.080 --> 01:06:25.200
And game two is making a change.

01:06:28.040 --> 01:06:31.440
For another demo, G-Gagging the bump attacks.

01:06:31.440 --> 01:06:32.640
Getting bumped there.

01:06:32.640 --> 01:06:34.280
More of Pixu's pocket.

01:06:34.280 --> 01:06:38.200
Trying to take this airborne, waste even more time.

01:06:38.200 --> 01:06:40.560
I'm gonna go for a 50 here, that's the reset.

01:06:41.440 --> 01:06:43.600
Push it forward, Wavy does keep the ball up,

01:06:43.600 --> 01:06:46.160
but it's just out of reach.

01:06:46.160 --> 01:06:49.800
And it'll be enough for Bore to lock in his first game win.

01:06:49.800 --> 01:06:52.800
Sure it'll be enough, and he earned that first game too,

01:06:52.800 --> 01:06:56.480
because, like I say, wasn't winning on kickoff.

01:06:56.480 --> 01:06:57.840
Can't really say Wavy was necessarily winning

01:06:57.840 --> 01:06:59.000
on kickoff, I wasn't getting on one,

01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:00.200
but it was more neutral.

01:07:00.200 --> 01:07:02.880
Bore wanted to kickoff battle in this game, number two.

01:07:02.880 --> 01:07:05.480
And Wavy definitely wanted to demo battle in game number one.

01:07:05.480 --> 01:07:08.120
Bore kind of evened that out in game number two.

01:07:08.120 --> 01:07:12.120
even more making his mistakes on demons as well, if it was, if it was enough.

01:07:12.120 --> 01:07:15.120
Maybe not making any demos this game,

01:07:15.120 --> 01:07:17.120
Ora in two.

01:07:18.120 --> 01:07:23.120
And they were a big part of that game when it was for Ora.

01:07:23.120 --> 01:07:29.120
Ora showing you, I think, offensively that he is a huge threat.

01:07:29.120 --> 01:07:31.120
You see that he takes a little, a few more risks, he likes to take it,

01:07:31.120 --> 01:07:34.120
Airport likes to go through those three sets.

01:07:34.120 --> 01:07:36.120
Defensively, a few mistakes here and there,

01:07:36.120 --> 01:07:41.120
here and there, but overall, Borah able to break down Wavy

01:07:42.200 --> 01:07:43.240
and get this first game win,

01:07:43.240 --> 01:07:46.560
I think a big confidence booster here for Borah.

01:07:46.560 --> 01:07:48.760
And now Wavy will have to go back to the drawing board.

01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:51.880
We'll see how he adjusts going into game three.

01:07:51.880 --> 01:07:53.480
I don't think Wavy's made that many adjustments

01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:54.920
from game one, game number two.

01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:57.320
I'm hoping to see some adjustment in game number three.

01:07:57.320 --> 01:07:58.160
That thing I can count.

01:07:58.160 --> 01:08:01.840
If anything, we've seen him not be able to land his demos.

01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:03.880
We've seen less aspects of his game.

01:08:03.880 --> 01:08:06.580
The first game, you know, I agree with you, T-Bates.

01:08:06.580 --> 01:08:08.880
Playstyle-wise, he seems very similar to Wavy,

01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:12.880
but he was not able to continue executing his demo.

01:08:14.380 --> 01:08:15.580
Sure was, it is.

01:08:15.580 --> 01:08:18.180
The ball gets the ball by Wavy. Wavy does just enough.

01:08:19.180 --> 01:08:21.180
Even I'm talking about even.

01:08:21.780 --> 01:08:23.880
Not just talking about the demo, just low jams.

01:08:23.880 --> 01:08:25.880
I'm also just talking about the office of...

01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:28.380
All the demo is a double reset.

01:08:29.080 --> 01:08:31.280
He's a calm, casual one. It's a slow one.

01:08:31.280 --> 01:08:33.080
But it doesn't matter, because I think...

01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:39.280
Started that play with 46 boost off the wall a bit surprising as well because it wasn't

01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:45.360
Most powerful double reset wavy was full-feet in position

01:08:46.880 --> 01:08:52.440
Rising that that beats him and now borrow we'll get another one. This is a disaster start for wavy

01:08:52.720 --> 01:08:56.920
What is the tilting game over all night on the field man? I'm upset for wavy

01:08:56.920 --> 01:08:59.760
What do you mean? You want to kick off and you just let me all the way to the side?

01:08:59.760 --> 01:09:02.060
I can't get back to the ball, man.

01:09:02.060 --> 01:09:05.260
My best canopy is so frustrating.

01:09:05.260 --> 01:09:06.460
He's going to lose this pickle too.

01:09:06.460 --> 01:09:07.460
All right, no, wait, wait.

01:09:07.460 --> 01:09:08.260
Should be going to collect.

01:09:08.260 --> 01:09:10.260
Oh, I got too greedy.

01:09:10.260 --> 01:09:12.260
He got too greedy for the boost.

01:09:12.260 --> 01:09:13.760
I thought the ball was going to go back.

01:09:13.760 --> 01:09:15.260
You're 100% right, T-Babe.

01:09:15.260 --> 01:09:16.260
You see that?

01:09:16.260 --> 01:09:17.260
100 boost.

01:09:17.260 --> 01:09:19.260
Especially you win a kickoff right there.

01:09:19.260 --> 01:09:20.760
You see a kickoff bouncing off the ball.

01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:22.260
You're in position to get the boost.

01:09:22.260 --> 01:09:23.760
Sometimes it's just too hard.

01:09:23.760 --> 01:09:26.260
It's too hard to say no to a boost.

01:09:26.260 --> 01:09:28.260
Ha ha ha!

01:09:28.260 --> 01:09:31.260
It's too hard to say no to the booth James by 2026

01:09:32.660 --> 01:09:34.660
Who says enticing?

01:09:34.900 --> 01:09:36.900
Maybe goes a little wide

01:09:37.620 --> 01:09:40.100
No James, but what way to do it? It's

01:09:41.260 --> 01:09:45.620
I'm still waiting to see more from all this play. I do like what I've seen the last 10 seconds

01:09:45.780 --> 01:09:48.940
Now I go for a reset place because even in game number two

01:09:48.940 --> 01:09:52.540
I think I'm counting my three goals and that's a good play from a way

01:09:52.540 --> 01:09:54.220
but a good 20 seconds from him.

01:09:54.220 --> 01:09:55.100
Hello, Zunzi.

01:09:55.100 --> 01:09:56.340
Zunzi off the side.

01:09:56.340 --> 01:09:59.140
I count about three goals from Wavy

01:09:59.140 --> 01:10:01.500
that he just came off of Boar's errors.

01:10:01.500 --> 01:10:02.740
Wavy wasn't doing much.

01:10:02.740 --> 01:10:04.140
I don't think that's,

01:10:04.140 --> 01:10:05.260
Wavy's a way better player

01:10:05.260 --> 01:10:07.700
than he can force the issue just like he just did.

01:10:08.620 --> 01:10:11.540
And it will pay, it will work out for him anyway.

01:10:11.540 --> 01:10:14.380
It doesn't seem like he's wanting to take many risks.

01:10:15.700 --> 01:10:17.860
He wants to see if his opponent can make some mistakes,

01:10:17.860 --> 01:10:20.060
see what his opponent gives him

01:10:20.060 --> 01:10:22.460
the post to taking that initiative itself.

01:10:24.220 --> 01:10:27.020
Maybe we'll have an opportunity here for pass.

01:10:27.020 --> 01:10:30.060
The 50 has to reset more of the spots.

01:10:30.060 --> 01:10:31.140
The small gap.

01:10:31.140 --> 01:10:33.580
Wavy was a little awkward on the recovery.

01:10:33.580 --> 01:10:34.940
He lands cleanly.

01:10:36.140 --> 01:10:37.140
Is he right there?

01:10:38.180 --> 01:10:41.020
I'm just enough time for more to slot that through.

01:10:41.020 --> 01:10:43.660
Yeah, the 50-50 wasn't what he wanted.

01:10:43.660 --> 01:10:44.940
Kind of belly-dropped off there.

01:10:44.940 --> 01:10:46.060
Put him upside down.

01:10:46.060 --> 01:10:51.660
Wayne Dash, when he landed he had to turn back right, and brought him away from the ball.

01:10:51.660 --> 01:10:55.500
He gave Borah just enough space, only for the reset, doesn't want to kind of get away

01:10:55.500 --> 01:10:56.500
from him right there.

01:10:56.500 --> 01:11:01.540
Wavy, running the shot at the moment, but Borah still on the ball, Wavy has to get possession

01:11:01.540 --> 01:11:02.540
of the right here.

01:11:02.540 --> 01:11:03.540
And how does Borah still have it?

01:11:03.540 --> 01:11:05.540
Wavy goes for the bootie, hits the shell, but it's too late!

01:11:05.540 --> 01:11:06.540
Perfect!

01:11:06.540 --> 01:11:10.540
Borah is flicking the cameras too far down the games!

01:11:10.540 --> 01:11:16.020
Perfect reset, Borah has been heading shoulders above Wavy when it comes to flip reset execution.

01:11:16.020 --> 01:11:19.020
You see the timing on that, the power on that.

01:11:19.020 --> 01:11:23.660
And Bora hasn't been afraid to attack awkward balls either.

01:11:23.660 --> 01:11:26.500
You see him getting that touch, going off the ceiling,

01:11:26.500 --> 01:11:29.300
even before that going for a double flip where he said,

01:11:29.300 --> 01:11:33.140
he is not afraid to take those risks

01:11:33.140 --> 01:11:35.500
and try to be aggressive with how he's

01:11:35.500 --> 01:11:36.820
attacking the ball meanwhile.

01:11:36.820 --> 01:11:37.940
Wave, wave, wave.

01:11:37.940 --> 01:11:43.220
And he's trying to play off his opponent,

01:11:43.220 --> 01:11:44.180
and he's getting punished.

01:11:44.180 --> 01:11:47.180
That shot though is high, Bore didn't have enough boost to get up and over it.

01:11:47.780 --> 01:11:50.180
Will he be back in time potentially?

01:11:50.180 --> 01:11:52.680
This one's gonna roll up, he's gonna respawn back in time.

01:11:54.180 --> 01:11:57.180
And Wavy doesn't connect the first time or the second.

01:11:57.180 --> 01:11:59.180
Wavy giving up a good chance.

01:12:01.480 --> 01:12:03.980
Left position though, James. He's not out of the loop where he's just yet Bore.

01:12:03.980 --> 01:12:07.980
And Wavy does end up scoring. I'll give Wavy the benefit out of here too.

01:12:08.280 --> 01:12:10.780
I will say that I don't know if people have talked about it enough.

01:12:11.380 --> 01:12:12.980
There is a psychological...

01:12:14.180 --> 01:12:17.980
Difference with the moves update or to put the demo update, you know

01:12:18.260 --> 01:12:21.980
They're gonna spawn right in front of you every single time I take control of it

01:12:21.980 --> 01:12:26.940
So you didn't you feel you feel a little more rush than usually would but there's a there was always a chance that

01:12:26.940 --> 01:12:31.260
Yeah, you're always thinking maybe I'll get lucky you'll play the

01:12:32.820 --> 01:12:36.540
Opportunity right you'll just be like I'm gonna play as if they're spotting our boat

01:12:36.540 --> 01:12:41.420
So I'm gonna go right there. Exactly. Now, you know, it's a hundred percent east corner every time

01:12:41.420 --> 01:12:44.360
So, Wavy kind of rushed it, he didn't upscore it.

01:12:44.360 --> 01:12:46.040
So I'm giving some grace in that moment.

01:12:46.040 --> 01:12:49.880
Great save right there from Wavy off a little flick.

01:12:49.880 --> 01:12:51.120
Off the back of the finish from Gore.

01:12:51.120 --> 01:12:53.120
Wavy stills the boost, Gore of none.

01:12:53.120 --> 01:12:53.960
How much does he throw here?

01:12:53.960 --> 01:12:55.760
Wavy should challenge, and he does.

01:12:55.760 --> 01:12:58.560
Gore's kind of in trouble right here, James.

01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:02.000
And speaking of updates, that boost indicator

01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:04.720
allowing Wavy to perfectly time that boost steal.

01:13:07.800 --> 01:13:11.280
Wavy's still trailing by one, trying to hit this possession.

01:13:11.420 --> 01:13:18.420
It's Demo though, so Bora has space to take it up to side ball.

01:13:18.420 --> 01:13:23.420
Lovely control from Bora, there's the early reset, makes the musty, goes for Bump instead.

01:13:23.420 --> 01:13:25.420
Bump's Wavy right out of the way.

01:13:25.420 --> 01:13:27.420
I mean it's a lovely play.

01:13:27.420 --> 01:13:29.420
The son of its pristine.

01:13:29.420 --> 01:13:32.420
You can see the musty coming the whole way. Wavy sees it as well.

01:13:32.420 --> 01:13:34.420
He's like, I gotta get ready for that top right.

01:13:34.420 --> 01:13:36.420
Bora says, I don't need it this time around.

01:13:36.420 --> 01:13:39.420
I'll bring it right back down, just a bump too.

01:13:39.420 --> 01:13:42.420
Perfect execution from the youngster.

01:13:42.420 --> 01:13:45.420
Gotta be careful if you go up right here, it does possess you.

01:13:45.420 --> 01:13:47.420
You're in such a good job mixing it up.

01:13:47.420 --> 01:13:49.420
You see, you know Borah is so mechanical.

01:13:49.420 --> 01:13:52.420
He's been on point with his flipper, he sets.

01:13:52.420 --> 01:13:54.420
Check the wave, he throws it in net.

01:13:54.420 --> 01:13:55.420
This is an awkward challenge.

01:13:55.420 --> 01:13:56.420
It does get the first stop.

01:13:56.420 --> 01:13:59.420
The wave will steal the corner boost,

01:13:59.420 --> 01:14:03.420
but Borah does get the mid-boost.

01:14:03.420 --> 01:14:05.420
Oh, see Borah trying to land the demo,

01:14:05.420 --> 01:14:07.420
couldn't land it, and now Wavy will have the ball.

01:14:07.420 --> 01:14:09.420
the way we do.

01:14:09.420 --> 01:14:14.420
Re-set goes low, and we've seen that a lot from Wavy so far.

01:14:14.420 --> 01:14:16.420
Today, T-Bates, where he'll get the reset

01:14:16.420 --> 01:14:17.920
and continue to go up.

01:14:17.920 --> 01:14:20.420
I think he's gone low almost every single time.

01:14:20.420 --> 01:14:21.420
It makes sense.

01:14:21.420 --> 01:14:23.420
I think it's one of the most, if not the most,

01:14:23.420 --> 01:14:26.420
threatening moves in.

01:14:26.420 --> 01:14:28.420
Oh, he has one more at the moment.

01:14:28.420 --> 01:14:29.420
He's nice going it all the time.

01:14:29.420 --> 01:14:31.420
He's able to do that a lot.

01:14:31.420 --> 01:14:32.420
He's bringing back a little bit.

01:14:32.420 --> 01:14:34.420
These players are so capable with the ball up in the sky.

01:14:34.420 --> 01:14:36.420
If you never know what's going to be on a bust out,

01:14:36.420 --> 01:14:38.180
Now, Bora does offer the musty right there.

01:14:38.180 --> 01:14:40.260
Wavy is equal to it.

01:14:40.260 --> 01:14:41.740
Mark is all the way back.

01:14:41.740 --> 01:14:44.060
Yeah, just bringing it back low, taking advantage

01:14:44.060 --> 01:14:45.980
of the perfect setups.

01:14:45.980 --> 01:14:47.220
Which is another impossible spot for him

01:14:47.220 --> 01:14:48.060
to be in.

01:14:48.060 --> 01:14:49.060
It's hard to stop it.

01:14:52.060 --> 01:14:53.060
Mark, get away cleanly.

01:14:53.060 --> 01:14:55.220
Looks like he did with the mid boost.

01:14:57.380 --> 01:14:58.340
Reset.

01:14:58.340 --> 01:14:59.220
Goes high!

01:14:59.220 --> 01:15:01.140
Saw Wavy on the ground.

01:15:02.060 --> 01:15:04.460
Bora, gonna get right over him.

01:15:04.460 --> 01:15:06.220
Exactly, there's a great shot from Bora too.

01:15:06.220 --> 01:15:07.780
You see, Wavy drives.

01:15:07.780 --> 01:15:10.140
Whoa, we're expecting Bore to go low.

01:15:10.140 --> 01:15:12.460
Can Bore kind of flick that a little late?

01:15:12.460 --> 01:15:16.100
He used the reset later to his setup.

01:15:16.100 --> 01:15:17.300
Bolster to the ground.

01:15:17.300 --> 01:15:18.580
Wavy's expecting the 50-50.

01:15:18.580 --> 01:15:20.580
He's expecting the low play.

01:15:20.580 --> 01:15:23.340
The Bore still bust off the shot right at the end.

01:15:23.340 --> 01:15:24.180
Right over his head.

01:15:24.180 --> 01:15:27.500
Takes advantage of Wavy making a decision.

01:15:27.500 --> 01:15:30.260
Bore's gonna finally take the win, a decision from Wavy.

01:15:30.260 --> 01:15:31.940
He doesn't get a counter-step for his upper two.

01:15:31.940 --> 01:15:33.580
Nope, the ball is gonna be off.

01:15:35.020 --> 01:15:35.860
Wavy down by two.

01:15:35.860 --> 01:15:38.500
Got a scramble.

01:15:38.500 --> 01:15:42.180
Wavy, little touch over Bora, 12 boost.

01:15:42.180 --> 01:15:44.740
Wavy will turn, takes the hit out.

01:15:44.740 --> 01:15:46.100
Other small pad picked up.

01:15:46.100 --> 01:15:49.260
See Bora trying, go for a bump.

01:15:49.260 --> 01:15:50.740
Playing keep away.

01:15:50.740 --> 01:15:52.620
And it looks like Bora has done enough.

01:15:55.420 --> 01:15:58.500
Oh, now, man, there will be a goal with a single second

01:15:58.500 --> 01:16:02.580
on the clock, maybe even less than a second.

01:16:02.580 --> 01:16:05.140
We'll see what kind of kickoff Wavy has to score.

01:16:05.140 --> 01:16:10.220
it is possible. Maybe a slow kick off trying to let him pop it off the front

01:16:10.220 --> 01:16:12.900
of your car to keep it airborne. See what way we can do.

01:16:15.860 --> 01:16:20.820
Oh, fast kick off. Keep it up. Keeps it up, but no boost. Couldn't get around the

01:16:20.820 --> 01:16:28.180
ball. Get to the light for a moment, but just couldn't pull it off. And Bora will

01:16:28.180 --> 01:16:32.140
pick up his second game. Or we'll pick up the second game win two games in a row.

01:16:32.140 --> 01:16:39.140
14 shots. See, I shot Wadey in this game by five, and the last game, I shot about six.

01:16:39.140 --> 01:16:42.140
Seven saves from Wadey. That's a lot of defense being played.

01:16:42.140 --> 01:16:46.140
It's a perfect encapsulation of how the series is going so far.

01:16:46.140 --> 01:16:48.140
It was honestly the last 25 seconds.

01:16:48.140 --> 01:16:52.140
Wadey down by two, he didn't have possession until four seconds.

01:16:52.140 --> 01:16:54.140
18 seconds off the clock.

01:16:54.140 --> 01:16:58.140
Wadey needed to make something happen, and he could not get the ball,

01:16:58.140 --> 01:17:00.140
and he had opportunities to have the ball.

01:17:00.140 --> 01:17:01.940
Boyle was doing that.

01:17:01.940 --> 01:17:03.900
Let me try and say, back corner barrier,

01:17:03.900 --> 01:17:06.460
he wasn't doing that in half the ball.

01:17:06.460 --> 01:17:09.300
And so, Wiggie's got to find a way

01:17:09.300 --> 01:17:10.860
to have the possession in moments

01:17:10.860 --> 01:17:12.540
where he can create chances.

01:17:12.540 --> 01:17:13.740
Take away Boyle's opportunities.

01:17:13.740 --> 01:17:15.540
Boyle's just getting a lot of them right now.

01:17:15.540 --> 01:17:17.020
Yeah, see if you can muscle that ball off,

01:17:17.020 --> 01:17:19.060
Boyle, because Boyle's just been attacking,

01:17:19.060 --> 01:17:21.980
attacking, attacking, not afraid to take risks,

01:17:21.980 --> 01:17:24.380
playing fearless.

01:17:24.380 --> 01:17:27.900
And it's been paying off so far for Boyle,

01:17:27.900 --> 01:17:29.860
Wavy on the other hand.

01:17:29.860 --> 01:17:32.260
Very defensively, very conservatively.

01:17:34.060 --> 01:17:36.860
It's keeping it close to very close games.

01:17:38.860 --> 01:17:40.460
Wavy trying to turn a corner here.

01:17:41.860 --> 01:17:46.060
It seems like Wavy's go-to move this year has been put reset, go low.

01:17:48.060 --> 01:17:52.060
Already Wavy's giving out one-off kickoff for out to an early lead.

01:17:52.060 --> 01:17:54.660
It's a lovely shot from Borough. I know it's a kickoff goal.

01:17:55.460 --> 01:17:59.060
But you got to look back again, number two. Wavy got back to the same plate.

01:17:59.060 --> 01:18:02.500
The one that said with the full golf inclusion, Wavy got back to that.

01:18:02.500 --> 01:18:04.000
He's coming to near post.

01:18:04.000 --> 01:18:06.500
So, Borage is skins it off the card.

01:18:06.500 --> 01:18:08.500
Almost around Wavy.

01:18:08.500 --> 01:18:10.500
Get saved right there.

01:18:10.500 --> 01:18:11.500
Pick off those.

01:18:11.500 --> 01:18:13.500
And now no one boy, there's one more to piece.

01:18:13.500 --> 01:18:14.500
The game never started.

01:18:14.500 --> 01:18:15.500
More of that great shot.

01:18:15.500 --> 01:18:16.500
It doesn't matter anymore.

01:18:16.500 --> 01:18:17.500
Wavy out.

01:18:17.500 --> 01:18:18.500
Feature on this.

01:18:18.500 --> 01:18:19.500
Pick off.

01:18:19.500 --> 01:18:20.500
Yeah, that six boost.

01:18:20.500 --> 01:18:21.500
Wavy had enough.

01:18:21.500 --> 01:18:24.500
Let's get his arc in flat position to get height on that.

01:18:24.500 --> 01:18:26.500
That's what you want to do with your post.

01:18:26.500 --> 01:18:30.500
If that high key off me now, you're pretty much going to guarantee a rebound goal.

01:18:30.500 --> 01:18:33.500
And now we'll see another kickoff goal for Wavy.

01:18:33.500 --> 01:18:35.500
It's with all of kickoff goals to start this game.

01:18:35.500 --> 01:18:37.500
I'm sure that delay kicked off on Wavy.

01:18:37.500 --> 01:18:39.500
He just parks on that pad.

01:18:39.500 --> 01:18:41.500
It's a little ways away from the goal.

01:18:41.500 --> 01:18:43.500
Let's go ahead and hit it right into him.

01:18:44.500 --> 01:18:45.500
That's one of the...

01:18:45.500 --> 01:18:46.500
Who are you going to be talking about?

01:18:46.500 --> 01:18:47.500
I'm worried about that.

01:18:47.500 --> 01:18:50.500
That's not the first time that Wavy's gone for that delay kickoff, actually.

01:18:50.500 --> 01:18:51.500
It's gone for a couple of times.

01:18:51.500 --> 01:18:52.500
Hasn't been nowhere near as successful.

01:18:52.500 --> 01:18:55.580
Over near success with lots of little panic on the back end yet again

01:18:55.780 --> 01:18:59.220
Kind of flipping and flopping off the back wall for no reason. Wavy takes advantage

01:18:59.660 --> 01:19:01.660
Yeah, we've seen that

01:19:03.460 --> 01:19:05.580
He wants just for those hundred moves

01:19:06.540 --> 01:19:10.100
It was well done from board even had a chance at safety

01:19:10.100 --> 01:19:14.820
See a watched flip from Wavy before it turned around quickly enough

01:19:15.580 --> 01:19:17.580
What a slide. No, he can't

01:19:18.660 --> 01:19:20.660
That's where I'll have to keep this play going

01:19:22.500 --> 01:19:37.240
Look at this double reset. It's the first one. Somehow those fourth post you can see

01:19:37.240 --> 01:19:46.240
Wavy was stunned. That's a highlight. Goal for every single one James Scott. I think

01:19:46.240 --> 01:19:49.240
he was looking for the third reset. Didn't get it for the ball. It's like he just wrapped

01:19:49.240 --> 01:19:55.640
It's possible, but it also looks like he was trying to get that flick with his flick.

01:19:57.000 --> 01:20:02.040
By the way, he does douse Forra quickly. You can see Forra. He has to have his wave dash there.

01:20:05.800 --> 01:20:12.520
You've seen that before. I think some people, perhaps call it a two-ball flick where you get underneath the ball.

01:20:12.520 --> 01:20:20.760
you have the place you said you use that to put it up like that that's a good

01:20:20.760 --> 01:20:24.480
play right there maybe has that moment like board there with all kinds of the

01:20:24.480 --> 01:20:29.120
lack not correct and kind of gives the ball away Boris has no mind about you

01:20:29.120 --> 01:20:34.360
but back to you know you said you go have a flip yeah if I remember it

01:20:34.360 --> 01:20:39.040
correctly oh no you don't have a board I'm not getting there you gotta play

01:20:39.040 --> 01:20:42.240
I don't know. We'll put a put park in that

01:20:47.200 --> 01:20:51.160
He's gonna get punished born by the creativity you gotta tip your cap to him

01:20:55.520 --> 01:20:57.780
Apparently goes off the car crossbar

01:20:58.320 --> 01:21:03.680
Hey boy got a little too greedy on the follow the middle plane ideas there and it's something. Yeah, I want to see later on

01:21:09.040 --> 01:21:13.040
on the dribble.

01:21:13.040 --> 01:21:19.040
That's a fake, and it's a half nap blow up in his face.

01:21:19.040 --> 01:21:22.040
This is a runaway moment here for Wavy.

01:21:22.040 --> 01:21:24.040
Finally, we see some distance between the competitors.

01:21:24.040 --> 01:21:28.040
This has been a neck and neck series the whole way, T-Bates,

01:21:28.040 --> 01:21:32.040
but this three goal lead seems like Wavy's starting to pull ahead.

01:21:32.040 --> 01:21:34.040
Yes, he does.

01:21:34.040 --> 01:21:36.040
Gaurd's kinda getting caught on Gaurd.

01:21:36.040 --> 01:21:40.040
Lick's not actually going away once, so he does be out waiving right here.

01:21:40.040 --> 01:21:43.040
Gaurd's not gonna announce it. Wavy's gonna be out collected.

01:21:43.040 --> 01:21:47.040
Wavy now would come to the comfortable leave of 5-3.

01:21:47.040 --> 01:21:49.040
See how he wants to play this? He's still gonna be the passive style.

01:21:49.040 --> 01:21:51.040
Oh, he's still gonna somehow mess up his back clip.

01:21:51.040 --> 01:21:53.040
Is Gaurd gonna mess up his wave, dad?

01:21:53.040 --> 01:21:54.040
There's a lot of...

01:21:54.040 --> 01:21:57.040
Fending me mistakes for both these quads. Is Gaurd gonna end up scoring right here?

01:21:57.040 --> 01:21:59.040
Oh my goodness, this is unbelievable.

01:21:59.040 --> 01:22:03.040
It's a great play from Gaurd, but it cannot believe that Wavy's conceding in this moment.

01:22:03.040 --> 01:22:07.520
These little tops have been automatic for Bora.

01:22:07.520 --> 01:22:12.020
You can see that perfectly time flip reset.

01:22:12.020 --> 01:22:13.520
Keeps the ball high.

01:22:13.520 --> 01:22:15.520
Exactly what he wants to do.

01:22:15.520 --> 01:22:17.020
Physicians behind the ball.

01:22:17.020 --> 01:22:20.520
Mechanical excellence there for Bora on the offensive end.

01:22:25.520 --> 01:22:26.520
Speed things up.

01:22:26.520 --> 01:22:27.520
Makes the shot.

01:22:27.520 --> 01:22:30.520
Wouldn't let the ball go a little too far.

01:22:30.520 --> 01:22:33.460
It's just a dribble and has the near post shut down

01:22:35.800 --> 01:22:37.480
It's a great idea

01:22:37.480 --> 01:22:41.880
Is you know you have a great whip for the ear you went for the early shot. He opted for the bait

01:22:43.960 --> 01:22:48.400
It's not gonna go as way and I said demoed and I've got Reese Palm ladies don't huntin

01:22:48.400 --> 01:22:51.320
Wait, it is not like by doing a pop shop. No, it's not from a way

01:22:51.680 --> 01:22:56.600
Don't pop shop away. Not like it wait for a bumper here. It's back around to it

01:22:56.600 --> 01:22:59.880
It's demo to open players really start to speed it up

01:23:00.520 --> 01:23:02.520
2-13 left, Boro!

01:23:02.520 --> 01:23:04.520
What a team shot at that!

01:23:04.520 --> 01:23:06.520
Still with Boro right here, James.

01:23:06.520 --> 01:23:08.520
He's not done yet. Back to his culture.

01:23:08.520 --> 01:23:10.520
In the shot, Wavy's equal.

01:23:10.520 --> 01:23:12.520
But Wavy's low boost still.

01:23:12.520 --> 01:23:14.520
He's back in time. No, he can't.

01:23:14.520 --> 01:23:16.520
Boro breaks Wavy down.

01:23:18.520 --> 01:23:20.520
Hard fought. Gold there.

01:23:20.520 --> 01:23:22.520
Valiant effort from Wavy getting that first save.

01:23:22.520 --> 01:23:24.520
But he couldn't get back in that

01:23:24.520 --> 01:23:26.520
in time. No boost anywhere to be found.

01:23:26.520 --> 01:23:28.520
No boost indeed.

01:23:28.520 --> 01:23:31.360
He wore that whole entire 15 second sequence.

01:23:31.360 --> 01:23:34.760
Seems like a little fly that's buzzing around your ear.

01:23:34.760 --> 01:23:36.040
You know, I'm talking like you're trying to swat me.

01:23:36.040 --> 01:23:37.000
He's just not going away.

01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:38.200
That's what the ball was.

01:23:38.200 --> 01:23:39.560
He didn't hit him either.

01:23:39.560 --> 01:23:40.400
Yeah, he did it.

01:23:40.400 --> 01:23:41.120
That doesn't matter.

01:23:41.120 --> 01:23:43.240
Come on, let's again, play me with another kickoff.

01:23:43.240 --> 01:23:47.440
And the goal difference is back up to two.

01:23:47.440 --> 01:23:49.280
Boy, it's so hard to bring it back down to play.

01:23:49.280 --> 01:23:52.000
These guys still do more than two minutes left, though.

01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:55.640
So plenty of time to make it happen.

01:23:55.640 --> 01:23:57.640
He's had the edge on kickoffs.

01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:01.640
Tora though will have some space here.

01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:03.640
Down to air drill, an option.

01:24:03.640 --> 01:24:05.640
Maybe face the jump challenge.

01:24:05.640 --> 01:24:07.640
Tora, the reset.

01:24:07.640 --> 01:24:09.640
Trying to go off to the side.

01:24:09.640 --> 01:24:13.640
Look at there in time. Looks like he's trying to position behind Wavy

01:24:13.640 --> 01:24:17.640
to maybe get full shot back on defense.

01:24:17.640 --> 01:24:19.640
Tora, ruthless.

01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:21.640
I'm just gonna get out of this situation.

01:24:25.640 --> 01:24:35.640
I'm trying to dig out of a hole and there's the challenger to get back to the ground.

01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:36.640
Is that open?

01:24:36.640 --> 01:24:41.640
Wavy saved it off his own post to his quarter.

01:24:41.640 --> 01:24:44.640
He ain't got hit by Borough right there as well.

01:24:44.640 --> 01:24:47.640
Had to take the contact, still get to the ball.

01:24:47.640 --> 01:24:49.640
Great save from Wavy Borough.

01:24:49.640 --> 01:24:55.640
The great shot for him to get him, you know the close that towards the net from the angle and that speed.

01:24:55.640 --> 01:24:58.640
Go down by 2-0 Bo, maybe seconds left.

01:24:58.640 --> 01:25:00.640
Going right back up the ceiling with speed.

01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:04.640
Wavy shuts it down, I think Bo, I wasn't on this camera, I know what happened.

01:25:04.640 --> 01:25:05.640
Maybe he wanted to bring it back down.

01:25:05.640 --> 01:25:08.640
He was trying to get under it to take the shot here.

01:25:08.640 --> 01:25:12.640
And I think he was going for a fake perhaps.

01:25:12.640 --> 01:25:18.640
Thinking that Wavy might turn, respect the shot, maybe play to defend the shot.

01:25:18.640 --> 01:25:20.640
And maybe he's called his block.

01:25:27.640 --> 01:25:30.640
Woooah, great play right there from Gora.

01:25:31.640 --> 01:25:33.640
Fakes the early flick, aren't wavy.

01:25:33.640 --> 01:25:35.640
He's gonna be going fast the whole entire game.

01:25:35.640 --> 01:25:37.640
Says no worries, I'm gonna slow it down.

01:25:37.640 --> 01:25:40.640
Even in this moment, down by three, every second matters.

01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:42.640
He has to...

01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:45.640
It's a composure to know I can still take my time.

01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:47.640
I gotta convert all three chances.

01:25:48.640 --> 01:25:51.640
So again, nothing right here, James.

01:25:51.640 --> 01:25:54.280
Set up here, Wavy, not much boost.

01:25:54.280 --> 01:25:57.240
Lift shut down, Wavy picks up the corner,

01:25:57.240 --> 01:26:02.240
Bora picks up the mid, Wavy trying to land a demo.

01:26:02.240 --> 01:26:05.520
Looks like Wavy is done enough here in this box.

01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:10.080
I think back towards Bora's net.

01:26:10.080 --> 01:26:12.720
Maybe we will see one last goal here for Bora,

01:26:12.720 --> 01:26:14.480
goes for the double.

01:26:14.480 --> 01:26:17.360
And even that, it's shut down by Wavy

01:26:17.360 --> 01:26:19.600
because the quarterfuse is stolen as well.

01:26:20.600 --> 01:26:23.640
And Wavy could dribble one last in, we'll see if he does it.

01:26:23.640 --> 01:26:27.440
And, sure does, close for that goal.

01:26:28.040 --> 01:26:31.360
That's zero seconds, blocking in three goals

01:26:31.360 --> 01:26:35.640
when you're for Wavy as the series is tied up at two games apiece.

01:26:36.160 --> 01:26:37.360
The shirt is tied up.

01:26:37.360 --> 01:26:42.000
You never talked about whether somebody scored in zero seconds for no reason,

01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:43.800
but that's a long respect.

01:26:43.800 --> 01:26:45.360
I'm still annoying.

01:26:45.360 --> 01:26:47.760
Can we put the ball down and move on to Nickney?

01:26:47.760 --> 01:26:48.760
That's right, that's right.

01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:51.360
You know, it depends because if I'm losing, that's how I feel.

01:26:51.360 --> 01:26:53.560
But if I'm winning, I want to tilt my opponent,

01:26:53.560 --> 01:26:55.160
especially if it's a series.

01:26:55.160 --> 01:26:56.560
You know, it makes sense.

01:26:56.560 --> 01:26:58.160
That is a tilt.

01:26:58.160 --> 01:26:59.560
I mean, after you scored that, like, two,

01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:00.560
you couldn't even build it.

01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:01.960
Sorry.

01:27:01.960 --> 01:27:04.560
Oh, man, you could do a lot of things.

01:27:04.560 --> 01:27:05.560
Yeah, my bad.

01:27:05.560 --> 01:27:06.560
I need to put that on the back.

01:27:06.560 --> 01:27:08.760
I just want to increase my score a little bit.

01:27:08.760 --> 01:27:11.360
Maybe that's dropped over 2,000 in this game, though,

01:27:11.360 --> 01:27:12.560
because of that goal.

01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:16.040
And what do you think it was that really put Wavy so far ahead in this game?

01:27:16.040 --> 01:27:18.240
I know I got high in this game.

01:27:18.240 --> 01:27:19.680
In this game?

01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:20.440
Yeah.

01:27:20.440 --> 01:27:24.160
I still think Bora was making defensive mistakes, me personally.

01:27:24.160 --> 01:27:30.320
And I also think on offense, I mean, you had the two goals back to back where Bora

01:27:30.320 --> 01:27:34.840
kind of went for a 45 degree flick, saw and hit the crossbar and went down counter-attack.

01:27:34.840 --> 01:27:37.400
And then Bora went for his dribble, got dispossessed again.

01:27:37.400 --> 01:27:38.840
And that made all the difference to me.

01:27:38.840 --> 01:27:40.240
Well, what do you think?

01:27:40.240 --> 01:27:46.560
I think kickoffs wavy really pulled ahead in this one. I think especially early on you saw wavy

01:27:47.200 --> 01:27:49.200
dominating the kickoff game

01:27:49.760 --> 01:27:53.360
But I'm right there with you. I feel like the theme of the series has been

01:27:53.800 --> 01:27:55.800
for a defensively

01:27:56.400 --> 01:27:59.560
Not able to reach the same price as he has offensively

01:28:00.040 --> 01:28:06.160
But even in this game you saw him take a couple risks that didn't pan out the way we punished right away

01:28:06.160 --> 01:28:11.200
was able to get close. You could see even here could be another example of that two-bates.

01:28:11.200 --> 01:28:15.120
Yeah, another one. Moore just confident himself and I mean that's the give-and-take

01:28:15.120 --> 01:28:19.280
you're gonna get from Moore. He knows that too. But you're the one playing majority of the offense,

01:28:19.280 --> 01:28:24.640
you're the one trying to make things happen. Push the envelope. There won't be moments where

01:28:24.640 --> 01:28:30.240
I mean Waden will have to walk the ball in and that's okay. If you're bored, you can't get

01:28:30.240 --> 01:28:33.360
crushed like that. You can't get tilted. You have to believe in your game because the moment you

01:28:33.360 --> 01:28:35.480
and continue to happen.

01:28:35.480 --> 01:28:36.800
It is little things like this though,

01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:38.480
where you know that wave doesn't have moves.

01:28:38.480 --> 01:28:40.560
They should have an inkling that wave doesn't have moves.

01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:42.680
I would like to see Bora kinda just take a shot.

01:28:42.680 --> 01:28:45.520
Not that these players are really taking pop shots,

01:28:45.520 --> 01:28:47.360
power shots at the net.

01:28:47.360 --> 01:28:48.200
Bora's got a lot of flicks,

01:28:48.200 --> 01:28:50.840
a lot of ceiling play that's working out for him too.

01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:52.160
There's a little bit of a mix up.

01:28:52.160 --> 01:28:53.760
It's gonna go a long way for him.

01:28:53.760 --> 01:28:55.800
That plays so fast, you can see him

01:28:55.800 --> 01:28:57.520
even flipping towards the wall,

01:28:57.520 --> 01:29:01.760
trying to preserve every ounce of boost for that play.

01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:03.920
It's a quick reset, pulls the trigger early.

01:29:03.920 --> 01:29:08.480
He knows that Wavy has been liking to do those fast challenges.

01:29:08.480 --> 01:29:10.560
Now he might see a pick up goal as well for Bora.

01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:12.200
We do.

01:29:12.200 --> 01:29:15.480
So Bora out in the lead.

01:29:15.480 --> 01:29:17.400
Well, like we were saying, T-Bates, that's what you get.

01:29:17.400 --> 01:29:19.360
If they give it take for Bora sometimes,

01:29:19.360 --> 01:29:23.160
he'll go for a shot, give up the counterattack goal.

01:29:23.160 --> 01:29:26.400
Then other times, he will execute perfectly,

01:29:26.400 --> 01:29:29.680
just like we saw on that quick trigger on the flip reset.

01:29:29.680 --> 01:29:37.120
now dead forcing wavy back and that boost one by Bora is one. Wavy needs to play close right here given

01:29:37.120 --> 01:29:42.560
too much space to Bora. But once he can't Bora, I'll split a flink I think. All Bora needs right

01:29:42.560 --> 01:29:47.200
here is just a power shot just to make Wavy use his moves. I know he's about to execute potentially

01:29:47.200 --> 01:29:53.200
off the ceiling again. They kind of left Wavy out the doghouse. You can't really generate too much

01:29:53.200 --> 01:29:57.200
He ate off the flicks, but he can't generate off the ceiling though, James!

01:29:57.920 --> 01:30:02.320
Yeah, Bora missed that second reset, but this time gets the reset early.

01:30:03.360 --> 01:30:07.440
Gets the small setup touch, and then gets it up and over Wavy.

01:30:11.440 --> 01:30:12.800
There's an A-Camp for Bora.

01:30:13.440 --> 01:30:16.800
Wavy came up right there for Wavy, didn't pay out. Remember last game, Wavy won it.

01:30:17.120 --> 01:30:19.280
This time, Bora might be able to score if he doesn't.

01:30:19.760 --> 01:30:21.200
Wavy somehow gets the boost.

01:30:21.200 --> 01:30:26.200
Right there, might even block off, he has a bump too, wow!

01:30:26.200 --> 01:30:29.200
How did Wavy get this boost?

01:30:29.200 --> 01:30:34.200
That was a pretty bold error in the corner. Wavy bumps Bora

01:30:34.200 --> 01:30:41.200
and you can see Bora getting bumped, touches the ball out, lets Wavy quickly get that goal.

01:30:41.200 --> 01:30:48.200
It's counted as Wavy. Now we see another kickoff opportunity, that's going to be a tie ball game.

01:30:48.200 --> 01:30:51.200
Wavy, using kickoff to his advantage.

01:30:51.200 --> 01:30:53.200
See him slowing down again.

01:30:53.200 --> 01:30:58.200
Takes a little bit of contact, but recovers easily enough.

01:30:58.200 --> 01:31:02.200
Two straight direct kickoffs outside of this one where Wavy delayed it.

01:31:02.200 --> 01:31:05.200
Morris gotta be talking about that. Wavy's liking that matchup at the moment.

01:31:05.200 --> 01:31:07.200
Kickoff 4 has not started to rein it.

01:31:07.200 --> 01:31:12.200
This is actually the first time a Wavy truly was aggressive on the offensive attack.

01:31:12.200 --> 01:31:14.200
And he gets punished for it.

01:31:14.200 --> 01:31:18.200
Those are recent go off crossbar more immediately counterattacks.

01:31:18.200 --> 01:31:20.200
Can you give Wavey a taste of his own medicine?

01:31:20.200 --> 01:31:23.200
Smart for Bore there to stay grounded.

01:31:23.200 --> 01:31:27.200
Just let's Wavey get the touch on the ball drive straight through to get the demo.

01:31:33.200 --> 01:31:35.200
He's got a touch.

01:31:35.200 --> 01:31:36.200
He got Bore right away.

01:31:36.200 --> 01:31:39.200
Pat Trent's taking all the way back down to the ground.

01:31:39.200 --> 01:31:48.240
Here's kind of this little chaos in the corner a couple of bumps or says he doesn't need to boost even with the update

01:31:48.740 --> 01:31:50.740
Right back this drip

01:31:50.740 --> 01:31:55.580
Back to another flake off the call for a wavy is out of play for Andrew board should be able to put it away

01:31:55.580 --> 01:32:00.220
Oh god, he goes to the big you might be doing too much. He is doing too much. Oh shoot the ball

01:32:01.940 --> 01:32:03.940
You can see me had wavy

01:32:03.940 --> 01:32:13.940
The low boost for board was, I think, a little bit too free to commit right away, didn't want to give up a goal on the other end, just in case Wanky was going to get back in time.

01:32:13.940 --> 01:32:21.940
And there's the attempt from Wanky, but Bora flicked it perfectly. Wanky couldn't keep this one out.

01:32:21.940 --> 01:32:26.780
It's a great flick.

01:32:26.780 --> 01:32:31.140
And once again you saw that he did that same flick last game.

01:32:31.140 --> 01:32:36.500
If the crossbar went down he could try to follow up at the post and Wavy scored on it.

01:32:36.500 --> 01:32:39.460
He knows that sometimes that'll happen.

01:32:39.460 --> 01:32:42.860
But he's consistent, he's confident, he keeps on coming right back into it.

01:32:42.860 --> 01:32:46.500
Wavy, it can't cause her to keep an eye on it though, does get the possession, goes on

01:32:46.500 --> 01:32:47.500
the sidewall.

01:32:47.500 --> 01:32:51.580
And once again she's so threatening, Bore have to challenge early because if he doesn't

01:32:51.580 --> 01:32:56.580
the way we have the option and then bring it low, which maybe has to succeed in it.

01:32:56.580 --> 01:32:58.580
Or does it want to jump off right here?

01:32:58.580 --> 01:33:02.580
But you see how well Wade, you're ready to play, solve the fast challenge,

01:33:02.580 --> 01:33:07.580
and use the reset quickly, but Bora gets it right back.

01:33:07.580 --> 01:33:13.580
Bora taking it up high, gets the reset, waits, waits, waits, waits,

01:33:13.580 --> 01:33:17.580
and then shoots at the perfect time getting behind the ball

01:33:17.580 --> 01:33:21.100
the ball where he had that shooting window option the whole way through.

01:33:21.100 --> 01:33:25.660
We talked about how crazy it is that he's players who get a reset and turn it into an

01:33:25.660 --> 01:33:30.420
air dribble that they still have to flip available to you.

01:33:30.420 --> 01:33:35.380
It makes them so dangerous and I mean the flip reset is probably the biggest single

01:33:35.380 --> 01:33:37.860
mechanic that has changed this game more than any other.

01:33:37.860 --> 01:33:41.340
Oh he's going for a ball right here.

01:33:41.340 --> 01:33:42.340
He's waving out the plane.

01:33:42.340 --> 01:33:43.340
He scores.

01:33:43.340 --> 01:33:44.340
It's basically the same play.

01:33:44.340 --> 01:33:46.340
He didn't have as much boost this time around.

01:33:46.340 --> 01:33:51.340
So the ball got a little lower, but reset into the air dribble.

01:33:51.340 --> 01:33:53.340
And you saw he was going for the air dribble bump.

01:33:53.340 --> 01:33:57.340
I mean, I think you wanted the demo, but a bump just as good.

01:34:00.340 --> 01:34:02.340
He might kick up right here from more pop shots.

01:34:02.340 --> 01:34:04.340
The loader might be in Wavy's net.

01:34:04.340 --> 01:34:07.340
It will be biggest lead for poor in the series.

01:34:07.340 --> 01:34:09.340
Up by four goals.

01:34:09.340 --> 01:34:13.340
And you saw the no flip.

01:34:13.340 --> 01:34:23.340
50 as well goes for no flip, kickoff, pops up high, just what Oral wanted.

01:34:25.340 --> 01:34:33.340
Orminder as well, that player is can go next. That's something unique to 1v1s in RLCS teammates.

01:34:33.340 --> 01:34:37.340
Being able to throw in the towel, we've seen games get out of hand.

01:34:37.340 --> 01:34:43.340
Maybe still in this one, but Bora having a healthy lead as we approach this final

01:34:43.340 --> 01:34:47.340
into the gameplay. Bora's on this game though.

01:34:47.340 --> 01:34:53.340
Maybe it's not done enough to get the ball off of Bora. Bora's got to throw it away, honestly.

01:34:53.340 --> 01:34:57.340
I don't even know why he's going for resets. It's on Wavy and I with a many left to really

01:34:57.340 --> 01:35:01.340
be the aggressors. Right now Bora's got 18 shots, Wavy has 7.

01:35:01.340 --> 01:35:06.340
Making 18 shots to 8, that will count as a shot. But it's simply not enough and there

01:35:06.340 --> 01:35:08.340
He's done to play the back corner very special

01:35:09.080 --> 01:35:12.900
Get the ball in the corner. You have to come to me. I'm up. Maybe actually does well though

01:35:13.260 --> 01:35:15.260
War kind of gives way to position

01:35:15.340 --> 01:35:18.000
This way his aggression is right here James that makes all the difference

01:35:18.380 --> 01:35:24.740
Can't be caught sleeping you saw Bora thought he did enough to go up and over the way he had it read

01:35:25.820 --> 01:35:27.820
Shuts that down closes the door

01:35:29.140 --> 01:35:32.460
And gets that pinch off the ceiling right into the neck

01:35:32.460 --> 01:35:34.860
Oh, it's a bump from Borah.

01:35:34.860 --> 01:35:37.380
He reversed into the bump.

01:35:37.380 --> 01:35:40.180
Just to mess up Wavy's touch, and then he shuts that Wavy off

01:35:40.180 --> 01:35:42.380
the top right there.

01:35:42.380 --> 01:35:43.860
Wavy's not done yet, though.

01:35:43.860 --> 01:35:45.300
Every seven seconds.

01:35:45.300 --> 01:35:47.660
Borah makes another mistake, and all of a sudden,

01:35:47.660 --> 01:35:51.180
Wavy is right back in it.

01:35:51.180 --> 01:35:53.580
Borah was trying to waste as much time as possible,

01:35:53.580 --> 01:35:56.220
but he saw no clues whatsoever.

01:35:56.220 --> 01:35:57.820
Couldn't get the buff, couldn't get to the touch

01:35:57.820 --> 01:36:00.180
to the corner, and now only two goals

01:36:00.180 --> 01:36:05.780
separated 35 seconds left on the clock maybe trying to slow down off the

01:36:05.780 --> 01:36:10.220
kickoff there's the ball more I couldn't get settled we'll get that corner

01:36:10.220 --> 01:36:15.180
boost though and more precious time in ways to the way the big shot

01:36:16.020 --> 01:36:17.900
what is

01:36:21.900 --> 01:36:28.060
there's nothing there for you there's no benefit there's no game it looks like

01:36:28.060 --> 01:36:32.960
More keep trying to tip the ball up and over wavy, but wavy's there every single time

01:36:34.380 --> 01:36:36.380
Or up

01:36:38.700 --> 01:36:40.700
Again wavy

01:36:58.060 --> 01:37:02.060
8 to 8! It's over collapsed! 7 seconds left!

01:37:02.060 --> 01:37:04.060
Wavy's gonna want you to kick him! Oh no!

01:37:04.060 --> 01:37:07.060
Wavy might be able to win this in regulation.

01:37:07.060 --> 01:37:10.060
Will be able to pop this up. He's got the boost!

01:37:10.060 --> 01:37:16.060
Wavy, denied by Bora! Bora can't get back to that ball, so we will have overtime.

01:37:16.060 --> 01:37:22.060
Bora lets Wavy get back into this one. Wavy fights back into this game.

01:37:22.060 --> 01:37:24.060
A chance to take it.

01:37:24.060 --> 01:37:26.060
He will have possession.

01:37:26.060 --> 01:37:30.060
He's going to try to cut it quickly, trying to keep Bora away from those 100 boosts.

01:37:30.060 --> 01:37:32.060
Quick challenge from Bora.

01:37:32.060 --> 01:37:34.060
Bora again though, because he's got no boost.

01:37:34.060 --> 01:37:37.060
Couldn't get back to that ball, and maybe it will retain possession.

01:37:40.060 --> 01:37:42.060
Maybe takes his time.

01:37:42.060 --> 01:37:44.060
He's closing immediately, and then Bora's got to get back to it.

01:37:44.060 --> 01:37:46.060
Maybe he's going to have boost possession.

01:37:46.060 --> 01:37:47.060
He's got boost control right here.

01:37:47.060 --> 01:37:49.060
We all know maybe he wasn't going to shoot the ball.

01:37:49.060 --> 01:37:51.060
He's not shooting a pop shot right there.

01:37:51.060 --> 01:37:54.420
there as unfortunate because I think the opportunity was there for him now he's

01:37:54.420 --> 01:37:59.100
his board is more important to reset the net wavy is going to be equal to it this time

01:37:59.100 --> 01:38:03.500
around maybe that ball right here James

01:38:03.500 --> 01:38:09.620
he gave wavy too much space for him

01:38:09.620 --> 01:38:14.820
rip for that mid boost allowed wavy to set up was thinking about closing the gap

01:38:14.820 --> 01:38:20.620
but immediately wavy takes the flood catches for out of position and a

01:38:20.620 --> 01:38:27.420
a comeback victory for Wavy as he wins it over time and is now on match point.

01:38:29.920 --> 01:38:32.220
I just feel like I watch the same thing as first for the New York New York

01:38:32.220 --> 01:38:33.220
New York game four over again.

01:38:33.720 --> 01:38:34.720
If you know you know.

01:38:34.720 --> 01:38:38.220
If you know you know, I just feel like I don't know.

01:38:38.220 --> 01:38:40.220
Kind of traumatized from that game in a way.

01:38:40.420 --> 01:38:42.020
And I just feel like I just watched it again.

01:38:42.520 --> 01:38:44.020
Boars up by four.

01:38:45.420 --> 01:38:46.220
Maybe I'll blame myself.

01:38:46.220 --> 01:38:46.820
I did catch the score.

01:38:46.820 --> 01:38:48.320
Let's say as far as I'm sure this game is over.

01:38:48.320 --> 01:38:53.040
barely clearly wasn't play wasn't over and I will say I will say I will say

01:38:53.040 --> 01:38:57.440
this these players don't practice how to play relieved probably as much they

01:38:57.440 --> 01:39:00.760
should but you're playing right you're not really trying to practice here here's

01:39:00.760 --> 01:39:07.560
trying to keep going trying to keep scoring but you don't need a hit right

01:39:07.560 --> 01:39:12.600
here the player here came for a zero point each on the score well it seemed

01:39:12.600 --> 01:39:16.840
like there were a few times where more of wasn't really playing for possession

01:39:16.840 --> 01:39:23.080
He was just going to try to play keep away like the one that you saw where he tries to go up and over high on on wavy

01:39:23.080 --> 01:39:25.080
wavy had that red the whole way

01:39:25.480 --> 01:39:27.920
Ends up sealing pinching that goal

01:39:28.560 --> 01:39:33.960
What was it? I think it was within the final minute for goal lead around the final minute

01:39:33.960 --> 01:39:36.000
No, it's for goal lead going into the final minute

01:39:36.000 --> 01:39:39.960
It was for goal lead and then all bore has to do is just waste time

01:39:39.960 --> 01:39:45.640
I could throw the ball at the net with power shots. I can still boost I can make it uncomfortable

01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:49.040
I can take off 30 seconds on the clock just off of doing that.

01:39:49.040 --> 01:39:53.880
Instead, he kept trying to play it slow and keep the ball tight.

01:39:53.880 --> 01:39:55.080
And trying to go for his flicks.

01:39:55.080 --> 01:39:56.880
But like that didn't play in the way he's had,

01:39:56.880 --> 01:39:59.080
because you've done the work already.

01:39:59.080 --> 01:40:02.000
And Bore does open up scoring on game number six.

01:40:02.000 --> 01:40:03.120
But the kickoff goal.

01:40:03.120 --> 01:40:04.400
And you've done the work already.

01:40:04.400 --> 01:40:05.000
You're up 5-4.

01:40:05.000 --> 01:40:06.120
Your flicks are working out.

01:40:06.120 --> 01:40:08.000
Now it's time for you to just wait for the clock.

01:40:08.000 --> 01:40:09.480
And then do that.

01:40:09.480 --> 01:40:11.320
But the way he's credit coming, composure for him.

01:40:11.320 --> 01:40:13.120
Just keep going back to what's been working,

01:40:13.120 --> 01:40:15.080
which is go for those quick resets.

01:40:15.080 --> 01:40:20.080
You can see him hit the double resets as well.

01:40:20.080 --> 01:40:21.520
Let's see if he's trying to play keep away

01:40:21.520 --> 01:40:23.760
and then we look at him, letting maybe back in.

01:40:23.760 --> 01:40:25.720
You see the equalizer from maybe

01:40:25.720 --> 01:40:29.360
who's got to be feeling confident after that comeback.

01:40:29.360 --> 01:40:31.320
He's got to be great booster right here

01:40:31.320 --> 01:40:34.440
and it's the turn, perfect turn to get back underneath the ball.

01:40:34.440 --> 01:40:37.880
I know it seems simple, he's about to make it off,

01:40:37.880 --> 01:40:40.720
but it is a tough turn and he has to be able

01:40:40.720 --> 01:40:41.960
to put your finnig in a position

01:40:41.960 --> 01:40:44.360
that shoot with the top left of the finnig

01:40:44.360 --> 01:40:48.020
into the bottom right bottom left corner as a hard move to execute especially at

01:40:48.020 --> 01:40:52.540
this level with this type of speed maybe does do all right there a little fancy

01:40:52.540 --> 01:40:56.700
little save hit it off his own post or it's a demo though he's got spawning

01:40:56.700 --> 01:41:01.900
quick Kenny Willie oh he does missed a shot

01:41:14.360 --> 01:41:16.360
Trying to put the work here.

01:41:16.360 --> 01:41:19.360
Bora has to be careful.

01:41:19.360 --> 01:41:21.360
Trying to take this over to the other side.

01:41:21.360 --> 01:41:22.360
Nicely played by Bora.

01:41:22.360 --> 01:41:24.360
Well, does kick off the wall a little bit,

01:41:24.360 --> 01:41:27.360
which makes things a little more difficult for Bora,

01:41:27.360 --> 01:41:29.360
but there's a double reset just off target,

01:41:29.360 --> 01:41:31.360
but continues to go for him.

01:41:31.360 --> 01:41:35.360
Wavy will go for goal and will score it.

01:41:35.360 --> 01:41:41.360
So Wavy again taking advantage of the risky shots by Bora,

01:41:41.360 --> 01:41:43.360
and now he'll get the go ahead goal.

01:41:43.360 --> 01:41:47.360
You're sure it will be great counter-attack from Wavy.

01:41:47.360 --> 01:41:49.360
He just shoots it one time off the bounce.

01:41:49.360 --> 01:41:50.360
Top left corner.

01:41:50.360 --> 01:41:52.360
Boar scrambling to get back.

01:41:52.360 --> 01:41:54.360
Anything less than a shot from Wavy.

01:41:54.360 --> 01:41:57.360
Anything low and accurate, Boar is going to get back to that.

01:41:57.360 --> 01:41:59.360
So it still takes composure to Wavy.

01:41:59.360 --> 01:42:01.360
Great shot in him. Wavy plays it.

01:42:01.360 --> 01:42:04.360
Top left corner right here is on the left-hand side.

01:42:04.360 --> 01:42:05.360
And he throwing the low play right here.

01:42:05.360 --> 01:42:07.360
James is the move you've been talking about.

01:42:07.360 --> 01:42:10.360
You could have brought it low, but it's so close to the ground.

01:42:10.360 --> 01:42:12.360
It said I don't need it this time around.

01:42:12.360 --> 01:42:15.880
That great job going far post got power with that as well

01:42:16.440 --> 01:42:19.240
So that was still near post

01:42:19.800 --> 01:42:21.800
far post. She was open

01:42:22.040 --> 01:42:24.040
for an execution there from wavy

01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:34.440
That's got some style wavy trying to play those high percentages every single time

01:42:35.800 --> 01:42:37.800
Bora have to go out on a limb

01:42:37.800 --> 01:42:44.800
The ball there, Wavy with a fake, goes around, tries to go high, Bora landing on the seal

01:42:44.800 --> 01:42:46.800
with a goal.

01:42:46.800 --> 01:42:52.800
Send that back, nicely played by Bora, but does get the demo somehow.

01:42:52.800 --> 01:42:53.800
Wow.

01:42:53.800 --> 01:42:54.800
You see Wavy spawning.

01:42:54.800 --> 01:43:00.800
Oh, Wavy almost gets back in time, but Bora, who had zero boost, got that demo.

01:43:00.800 --> 01:43:03.800
Don't know how he managed to get that done.

01:43:03.800 --> 01:43:07.240
Maybe he's falling into with his left stick already pointed back towards the goal.

01:43:08.240 --> 01:43:09.920
He already knew exactly where he was going to be.

01:43:09.920 --> 01:43:10.760
I'm turning quickly.

01:43:12.680 --> 01:43:14.080
He basically almost got back today.

01:43:14.080 --> 01:43:17.120
It's actually incredible too that Moore somehow maintained Super Sonic.

01:43:18.240 --> 01:43:19.200
Yeah, I'm zero.

01:43:19.200 --> 01:43:21.160
He's going to be able to nail that down.

01:43:22.320 --> 01:43:24.560
It hits the 50 in as well.

01:43:24.560 --> 01:43:26.480
Knew that maybe he was going to be on zero.

01:43:28.520 --> 01:43:29.720
Had to go for that save.

01:43:29.720 --> 01:43:34.720
Great challenge there for Bora.

01:43:34.720 --> 01:43:37.720
Got a bunch of people right here.

01:43:37.720 --> 01:43:39.720
Wait, you might do a delay.

01:43:39.720 --> 01:43:40.720
It's not for this time.

01:43:40.720 --> 01:43:41.720
Bora does get possession.

01:43:41.720 --> 01:43:42.720
Wave is down to the pin.

01:43:42.720 --> 01:43:45.720
Bora has been super successful in these moments so far in the set.

01:43:45.720 --> 01:43:46.720
He gets a reset.

01:43:46.720 --> 01:43:47.720
Wave is equal to it.

01:43:47.720 --> 01:43:49.720
Bora doesn't offer a corner boost deal.

01:43:49.720 --> 01:43:53.720
Wave kind of pops the ball up and he's going to be able to hit the boost.

01:43:53.720 --> 01:43:55.720
If he so chooses, then he does.

01:43:55.720 --> 01:43:56.720
Bora with no boost.

01:43:56.720 --> 01:44:01.720
Wavy's up in the sky, Wavy's digging his little floors there to meet him.

01:44:01.720 --> 01:44:06.720
Wavy's not done just yet, Borg feels like he has time to get the boost.

01:44:06.720 --> 01:44:09.720
Wavy goes to the ball right off the top of the score.

01:44:09.720 --> 01:44:11.720
Here goes Borg on the count of his head, James.

01:44:11.720 --> 01:44:12.720
Pop it up high.

01:44:12.720 --> 01:44:16.720
Wavy's got a spectacular reset saved off the post.

01:44:16.720 --> 01:44:18.720
And now it's going to be a race to the ball.

01:44:18.720 --> 01:44:25.720
But a very good job earlier by Bora as well to get that arc of small pads out in front of that.

01:44:25.720 --> 01:44:32.280
front of net a lot of them to get that defensive stop reset easily defended by

01:44:32.280 --> 01:44:36.940
wavy and wavy doesn't get the shot on target looked like that wasn't open that

01:44:36.940 --> 01:44:39.560
opportunity

01:44:40.120 --> 01:44:45.680
surprising that way to let that one go back and forth neck and neck where it

01:44:45.680 --> 01:44:51.760
goes back to a family of more 45 soft top link is the crossbar he had a couple

01:44:51.760 --> 01:44:54.640
times for his across bar doesn't go in a couple times hits the crossbar that

01:44:54.640 --> 01:44:58.640
He's not going to shy away from his move. Still has possession though.

01:44:58.640 --> 01:45:01.640
132 left in this game. Wendy's playing a lot of defense.

01:45:01.640 --> 01:45:04.640
Mora is down in the series. He's trying to force a game setting.

01:45:04.640 --> 01:45:07.640
Wavy, all he needs is one potentially to put Mora in a bad spot.

01:45:09.640 --> 01:45:16.640
It's a bounce. Mora can he reset. Reset gets the demo, but Wavy's still got a hand on it.

01:45:16.640 --> 01:45:20.640
He'll spawn ball side. Mora will play keep away.

01:45:20.640 --> 01:45:24.640
Bora fully boosted, takes it to the skies once more.

01:45:27.640 --> 01:45:28.640
Wavy's there again!

01:45:28.640 --> 01:45:32.640
He's a defensive clay for Wavy, and he's gonna get the counter attack!

01:45:32.640 --> 01:45:35.640
Bora's getting the resets every single time!

01:45:35.640 --> 01:45:39.640
But Wavy's got eight saves to his name, and he's armed every single one of them!

01:45:39.640 --> 01:45:41.640
He's taking the leads!

01:45:41.640 --> 01:45:43.640
You see that risky attack?

01:45:43.640 --> 01:45:45.640
Bora seems to do almost every single time.

01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:53.700
Off to take it airborne instead of keeping it on the ground going for a dribble allowing himself perhaps a shot that lets him recover better

01:45:53.700 --> 01:45:57.240
But off kickoff for a we'll get the equalizer

01:45:58.080 --> 01:46:00.440
This game has been neck and neck the whole time

01:46:00.960 --> 01:46:07.200
And wow what a play from war getting to the ball waiting thought that he had time to get the beast but no he did not

01:46:07.800 --> 01:46:11.160
Maybe lose the ball mention me. There's a guy up that one low lead

01:46:11.160 --> 01:46:15.160
Oh boy, look for the ball, and Wavy dodged them.

01:46:15.160 --> 01:46:19.160
Beautiful dodge here from Wavy.

01:46:19.160 --> 01:46:22.160
You can see Wavy went for the Wave Dash kickoff.

01:46:22.160 --> 01:46:25.160
Hits the brakes right before the bump comes through.

01:46:25.160 --> 01:46:31.160
There's a late kickoff, you have to wave the Wave Dash kickoff.

01:46:31.160 --> 01:46:33.160
The ball does get the ball and the boost.

01:46:33.160 --> 01:46:35.160
Oh, and Wavy plays his bluff right there.

01:46:35.160 --> 01:46:37.160
The bluff right there, he didn't think.

01:46:37.160 --> 01:46:39.160
The ball was shoot, boy, that shoot right here.

01:46:39.160 --> 01:46:41.460
right here goes crossbar off.

01:46:41.460 --> 01:46:42.500
Tries to get the boost grab.

01:46:42.500 --> 01:46:43.340
He doesn't get it.

01:46:43.340 --> 01:46:44.260
Doesn't get the mid boost either.

01:46:44.260 --> 01:46:46.260
And now he's going to scramble to the corner.

01:46:48.140 --> 01:46:50.860
Maybe try to get around it.

01:46:50.860 --> 01:46:54.060
Goes up, hits the corner boost back on target four

01:46:54.060 --> 01:46:55.340
and catches it in the dribble.

01:46:55.340 --> 01:46:57.220
But Borough has the corner boost

01:46:57.220 --> 01:46:58.700
respawn on him.

01:46:58.700 --> 01:47:00.980
Chance to equalize.

01:47:00.980 --> 01:47:01.820
Pinch it.

01:47:01.820 --> 01:47:02.660
The ground pitch.

01:47:02.660 --> 01:47:04.020
Where was Wavy going?

01:47:04.940 --> 01:47:06.940
Wavy thought he was going off the ceiling, James.

01:47:06.940 --> 01:47:07.780
Watch what Wavy does.

01:47:07.780 --> 01:47:09.780
with any thought that board was bringing high.

01:47:09.780 --> 01:47:11.280
Yeah, if the board didn't even get that high,

01:47:11.280 --> 01:47:11.780
it didn't.

01:47:11.780 --> 01:47:12.780
The elevation wasn't there.

01:47:12.780 --> 01:47:14.780
Board brought it back down so quickly.

01:47:14.780 --> 01:47:16.780
Little wavy off.

01:47:16.780 --> 01:47:17.780
Five, five tied up.

01:47:17.780 --> 01:47:18.780
11 seconds left.

01:47:18.780 --> 01:47:20.780
What is Wavy having his back and tricks on the kickoff?

01:47:20.780 --> 01:47:22.780
Wave that kickoff board against possession.

01:47:22.780 --> 01:47:23.780
And here we go.

01:47:23.780 --> 01:47:24.780
Neil Tokyo.

01:47:24.780 --> 01:47:26.780
Last chance potentially in right of the time.

01:47:26.780 --> 01:47:27.780
Warrantry trying to force the game.

01:47:27.780 --> 01:47:29.780
Seven Wavy's there to stop it immediately.

01:47:29.780 --> 01:47:31.780
If it looks like we might get two over the times

01:47:31.780 --> 01:47:32.780
of the row, no.

01:47:32.780 --> 01:47:33.780
Warrantry said, let's play ball.

01:47:33.780 --> 01:47:35.780
Pops it back to his favorite side of the field

01:47:35.780 --> 01:47:37.940
of the fields, and the wall.

01:47:37.940 --> 01:47:40.620
Fora up high, gets one reset.

01:47:40.620 --> 01:47:41.460
Oh, he's back low.

01:47:41.460 --> 01:47:42.140
K-dash!

01:47:42.140 --> 01:47:43.820
Oh, maybe it might be a McConnor tagging!

01:47:43.820 --> 01:47:46.180
It was a miss!

01:47:46.180 --> 01:47:49.860
Fora, one's not afraid to go all in.

01:47:49.860 --> 01:47:53.820
But now we've got overtime.

01:47:53.820 --> 01:47:56.860
This is tournament life for Fora,

01:47:56.860 --> 01:47:58.340
and that is going to be it.

01:47:58.340 --> 01:48:03.300
Wavy will secure the victory and moves on to the lower bracket

01:48:03.300 --> 01:48:04.940
quarterfinals.

01:48:04.940 --> 01:48:05.860
He showed us move on.

01:48:05.860 --> 01:48:08.100
You see the celebration from him.

01:48:08.100 --> 01:48:09.940
He's extremely excited.

01:48:09.940 --> 01:48:11.220
He's done a lot of emoting.

01:48:11.220 --> 01:48:13.340
He's got the World Cup, Sully.

01:48:13.340 --> 01:48:14.420
Is that what that is?

01:48:14.420 --> 01:48:15.260
Who's doing it?

01:48:15.260 --> 01:48:16.940
He's doing some raspberries.

01:48:16.940 --> 01:48:19.020
Sliding around on carpet like that.

01:48:19.020 --> 01:48:21.620
GG's, GG's.

01:48:21.620 --> 01:48:24.340
It's a good series from both players.

01:48:24.340 --> 01:48:25.900
I mean, maybe just have to dig deep, though.

01:48:25.900 --> 01:48:29.460
I mean, game number five, that was the turning point to say.

01:48:29.460 --> 01:48:32.020
Or up by four, less than a minute left in the game.

01:48:32.020 --> 01:48:33.780
You feel like it's done and dusted.

01:48:33.780 --> 01:48:36.660
He's got all the momentum and he kind of just gave the game away.

01:48:36.660 --> 01:48:40.060
Wavy had to make some place happen, but you didn't have to do too much.

01:48:40.060 --> 01:48:41.580
Cabour kept trying to push the envelope.

01:48:41.580 --> 01:48:46.900
He kept trying to score and then again, number six, or he kept trying to make a

01:48:46.900 --> 01:48:50.660
couple of plays happen away James, but Wavy just had all the moments, all the

01:48:50.660 --> 01:48:51.620
key moments he needed.

01:48:52.660 --> 01:48:53.460
He certainly did.

01:48:53.460 --> 01:48:57.980
I think maybe just showing you that slow and steady wins the race.

01:48:58.300 --> 01:48:59.380
Slow and steady wins the race.

01:48:59.380 --> 01:49:00.820
That is what it's been.

01:49:00.820 --> 01:49:03.940
This series for Wavy, slowly wearing down board,

01:49:03.940 --> 01:49:06.340
it gets the win, but we've got more Rocket League coming up.

01:49:06.340 --> 01:49:09.340
First killer versus Apatos after this.

01:49:12.940 --> 01:49:14.460
Keith, I want to try and experiment.

01:49:14.460 --> 01:49:15.540
All right.

01:49:15.540 --> 01:49:16.900
To help you unbecome your parents,

01:49:16.900 --> 01:49:18.700
I want you to try a game called Rocket League.

01:49:18.700 --> 01:49:21.620
Ooh, is it a puzzle like my crossword?

01:49:21.620 --> 01:49:23.420
No, picture soccer.

01:49:23.420 --> 01:49:24.260
Okay.

01:49:24.260 --> 01:49:25.700
With a car.

01:49:25.700 --> 01:49:27.980
What do I hang my feet outside the window?

01:49:27.980 --> 01:49:29.300
No, not your car.

01:49:29.300 --> 01:49:35.100
But you said think it's a video game. Oh, okay. I get it. Where's the cartridge? No, it's an online thing

01:49:35.100 --> 01:49:39.220
Is there a joystick not like the ones you're thinking about I need to get some quarters, right?

01:49:39.220 --> 01:49:44.620
Oh, I got a blow in the cartridge again like no cartridge, but you'll need a username username

01:49:44.620 --> 01:49:52.840
How about Keith underscore 9914 the bathroom coat? It's the only number I can kind of remember easily so

01:49:59.300 --> 01:50:02.300
You won't come in the morning with the mission to move so money in life.

01:50:02.300 --> 01:50:03.300
Don't hold back.

01:50:07.300 --> 01:50:08.300
Galvanize.

01:50:14.300 --> 01:50:19.300
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond.

01:50:20.300 --> 01:50:22.300
Michelin, Motion for Life.

01:51:59.300 --> 01:52:01.300
to open the door!

01:52:29.300 --> 01:52:56.060
The magic of rock and make is the stories you can tell about the zero second buzzer games

01:52:56.060 --> 01:52:58.860
the epic saves, the underdog victories.

01:52:58.860 --> 01:53:00.260
It's all there.

01:53:00.260 --> 01:53:03.060
As we return to this legendary arena,

01:53:03.060 --> 01:53:06.400
we'll witness Romney's story unfold together.

01:53:06.400 --> 01:53:08.000
Who will hang their team's banners

01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:10.000
in the Rafters of Champions field?

01:53:10.000 --> 01:53:11.000
It's time to find out.

01:53:11.000 --> 01:53:13.000
I

01:53:41.000 --> 01:53:48.000
I just want to get to know, rather less in Tokyo

01:53:48.000 --> 01:53:54.000
Some more here with spoken, that could be the one you're looking

01:53:54.000 --> 01:54:00.000
I just want to get to know, rather less in Tokyo

01:54:00.000 --> 01:54:03.000
Some more here with spoken

01:54:03.000 --> 01:54:05.000
I

01:55:03.000 --> 01:55:13.000
I just want to get to know

01:56:03.000 --> 01:56:05.000
I

01:57:03.000 --> 01:57:05.000
Right

01:58:03.000 --> 01:58:29.200
I know sometimes I can say the wrong thing, you won't get the way without responding.

01:58:29.200 --> 01:58:36.160
match comes out of the gates with style all the way to game six two over times and Bora made

01:58:36.160 --> 01:58:42.640
wavy work for it but he comes out on top advances to top six and he'll be playing on championship

01:58:42.640 --> 01:58:47.040
sunday tomorrow the means round four sir wavy always good to talk to you how you feeling after

01:58:47.040 --> 01:58:53.440
that match uh i'm a little conflicted obviously i'm happy i won but i didn't feel like the better

01:58:53.440 --> 01:58:59.840
Rock I've ever played to be to be honest. I mean, hey, but you're you're smiling you're you're

01:58:59.840 --> 01:59:04.480
main man throughout the match. You always look like you're having fun out there and like I got

01:59:04.480 --> 01:59:08.720
asked like I've talked to so many pros that feel like they like they lose the love of the game as

01:59:08.720 --> 01:59:12.640
they play like it becomes a job like it's still rewarding to do well, but they're not like the

01:59:12.640 --> 01:59:16.560
fun part gets lost in like the thousands and thousands of hours of practice. Do you struggle

01:59:16.560 --> 01:59:20.240
with that at all? Because it looks like you're having a great time. I think everyone struggles

01:59:20.240 --> 01:59:26.160
with that for a degree, myself included. I think I always I try to put an effort to have fun,

01:59:26.160 --> 01:59:30.560
especially because yesterday with my lost, I'm always going to call the scribbles,

01:59:30.560 --> 01:59:37.280
like guys name is not Zach, but I would actually just like not having fun at all in that series.

01:59:37.280 --> 01:59:43.360
And after that, I realized, realistically, with how I'm playing, I'm not going to win. I'm playing,

01:59:43.360 --> 01:59:47.360
I'm not playing good enough rock to win. Hopefully, I can like get more confident

01:59:47.360 --> 01:59:52.480
challenges and maybe panic a bit less tomorrow because those are like the big things. Um,

01:59:52.480 --> 01:59:56.920
but I made an effort to have more fun going into today. So even when I was like getting

01:59:56.920 --> 02:00:02.120
scored on, I don't think I scored first in a game this entire series. But, um, even,

02:00:02.120 --> 02:00:06.640
even when I was like losing, I was right up front with it. Um, after the whatever happened

02:00:06.640 --> 02:00:13.560
in that game, five, I pulled the absolute similar cinema. Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna, I

02:00:13.560 --> 02:00:16.560
was, I was, we literally saw you hit it. You lean back and I wanted to, I was my next

02:00:16.560 --> 02:00:17.560
I'm not sure what that was.

02:00:17.560 --> 02:00:21.040
That's about game five like, dude, you're trailing by four going into the final minute.

02:00:21.040 --> 02:00:23.720
Like what changed on that end of that game?

02:00:23.720 --> 02:00:26.280
How did you pull that one back?

02:00:26.280 --> 02:00:31.440
I realized the game is like basically in a way like out of my hands.

02:00:31.440 --> 02:00:34.560
So I basically just started like, all right, let me just send it and like, let's see what

02:00:34.560 --> 02:00:35.560
happens.

02:00:35.560 --> 02:00:39.680
And I just made it more literally just like, tweaked out is the best I can explain it.

02:00:39.680 --> 02:00:43.640
You just like messed up being open at like four times in a row.

02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:49.400
I don't think I worked for a single one of those goals like actually well, but I applied pressure and I made him panic

02:00:49.400 --> 02:00:54.380
And that's what gave me the goals and maybe honestly I took a little bit of that in the game six

02:00:54.580 --> 02:00:57.740
Which had led me to I feel like I had all the momentum in game six

02:00:57.740 --> 02:01:02.640
I kind of threw my way into overtime for them. Thankfully I wanted to get out of that kickoff

02:01:03.660 --> 02:01:07.360
You did you did it they kickoff coming out through and hey the experience clearly paying off

02:01:07.360 --> 02:01:11.020
I mean, I think it takes it it takes a veteran mentality to realize like hey, let's just send it

02:01:11.020 --> 02:01:15.380
Let's just have a good time and I just a follow-up on the previous question like to make sure I really understand you

02:01:15.380 --> 02:01:17.700
Are you when you say like you're trying to have more fun in the game?

02:01:17.700 --> 02:01:22.180
Is it that you're like look if I'm gonna lose I might as well not be depressed afterwards

02:01:22.180 --> 02:01:25.020
I might as well have fun or is it like if I have fun?

02:01:25.020 --> 02:01:27.020
I will actually play better like

02:01:28.620 --> 02:01:33.420
It's mostly the latter like I normally I normally play better when I'm having fun because like when I'm having fun

02:01:33.420 --> 02:01:36.140
I'm like, alright, let me just get in there like I'll do a constant challenge

02:01:36.140 --> 02:01:39.940
We go for like a nice flipper stat and like I did a like trial

02:01:39.940 --> 02:01:45.760
I want to say I did the most practice out of every one's player going into this event like with the rank and tournaments and other things and

02:01:46.060 --> 02:01:49.460
In those practices I was getting nice in the air

02:01:49.460 --> 02:01:53.680
Like I was actually going like I was doing some really nice like flipy set really good ball control

02:01:53.680 --> 02:01:57.740
And I really haven't done and even in the Swiss state like if we look my replay from the Swiss stage

02:01:57.740 --> 02:02:01.700
I did that like a very well and that's what I haven't been doing today and yesterday

02:02:01.700 --> 02:02:08.300
So I'm probably gonna try to force that into my gameplay tomorrow because I know if I can

02:02:08.700 --> 02:02:10.900
Start in the momentum in the air. I can really

02:02:11.700 --> 02:02:14.900
It's really the only part of my game that I need to show

02:02:14.980 --> 02:02:16.980
It would actually start winning

02:02:17.500 --> 02:02:22.940
Gotcha. Well, I'll be watching for you in the air on Championship Sunday. Congratulations. I'll make it to that point

02:02:22.940 --> 02:02:24.940
They should interview man. Good luck tomorrow

02:02:25.060 --> 02:02:27.060
Anytime appreciate it

02:02:27.060 --> 02:02:32.380
All right. Wavy is through the championship Sunday. We'll wait to find out who he's going to play a little bit later on after those

02:02:32.660 --> 02:02:40.900
Upper quarter finals go through but the veteran experience here gentlemen what it takes to win when you're not the better player on the pitch

02:02:41.100 --> 02:02:45.620
He puts it together wins two over times and want to performance

02:02:45.620 --> 02:03:03.320
He was very aware that he wasn't playing the best game that we've ever seen him play.

02:03:03.320 --> 02:03:07.400
And it was interesting to hear him even just say that, where he just was completely missing

02:03:07.400 --> 02:03:09.440
that aerial dynamic of his game.

02:03:09.440 --> 02:03:12.880
But where he excelled was reading his opponent.

02:03:12.880 --> 02:03:17.720
his opponent staying composed. That's where Bora really started to fall off a little bit.

02:03:17.720 --> 02:03:21.360
You saw him make those mistakes and we even heard from the interview where Wavy just said

02:03:21.360 --> 02:03:26.720
I'm going to send it. Well, one perfect example of that was the first goal in that first goal

02:03:26.720 --> 02:03:31.680
or in that four goal comeback where Wavy's just going to challenge like he's going to

02:03:31.680 --> 02:03:35.960
just guess that Bora was going to play keep away trying to hit it to the ceiling. Wavy

02:03:35.960 --> 02:03:39.240
was there pinched the ball off the ceiling, got the goal and that was the beginning of

02:03:39.240 --> 02:03:40.600
the forward will come back.

02:03:40.600 --> 02:03:45.600
It was a full send from Wavy in that game five.

02:03:45.720 --> 02:03:47.480
Ended up getting the win as well.

02:03:47.480 --> 02:03:50.800
And that's when I felt like Wavy really had it.

02:03:50.800 --> 02:03:52.520
I mean, it was just good for Wavy right there.

02:03:52.520 --> 02:03:54.280
I knew it was great, Wavy.

02:03:54.280 --> 02:03:55.120
Really good for you, Wavy.

02:03:55.120 --> 02:03:59.040
And great, this is from Wavy because he is right.

02:03:59.040 --> 02:04:02.960
Or did this start, we can hit game number five.

02:04:02.960 --> 02:04:05.040
And Wavy didn't have to do much,

02:04:05.040 --> 02:04:06.000
but it's all that it takes.

02:04:06.000 --> 02:04:07.600
Me and James, you and me talk about the cast.

02:04:07.600 --> 02:04:12.640
Wins is that type of game where you don't necessarily have to be at the top of your game to win.

02:04:12.640 --> 02:04:15.800
You can take advantage of the other person's mistakes and come out on top.

02:04:16.080 --> 02:04:17.000
And that's the second way we did.

02:04:17.000 --> 02:04:19.760
And that comes in with experience, the composer, he earned the win.

02:04:19.760 --> 02:04:21.840
He will have to be better come tomorrow.

02:04:21.840 --> 02:04:24.680
And he wants me to end a rep and one be one.

02:04:24.680 --> 02:04:26.600
But he'll take the W today.

02:04:26.600 --> 02:04:29.680
It's one of those things where we'll say, like, oh, like the you don't have to be

02:04:29.680 --> 02:04:31.720
the best player in the lobby to like win the game.

02:04:31.720 --> 02:04:32.480
And like, what is that?

02:04:32.480 --> 02:04:34.320
How does that possibly be true?

02:04:34.320 --> 02:04:38.440
And it's like, well, the game is more than just the buttons

02:04:38.440 --> 02:04:39.640
you press on the controller.

02:04:39.640 --> 02:04:40.560
It's the mentality.

02:04:40.560 --> 02:04:43.200
It's the, you know, the strategical matchup.

02:04:43.200 --> 02:04:46.120
It's your physical fitness and conditioning coming into it,

02:04:46.120 --> 02:04:46.620
right?

02:04:46.620 --> 02:04:48.400
And I think that the whole picture there,

02:04:48.400 --> 02:04:51.040
from beginning to end of those six games,

02:04:51.040 --> 02:04:54.560
Wavy did have the better game, you know, in terms of that,

02:04:54.560 --> 02:04:57.160
even if Bora was being more mechanical on the pitch

02:04:57.160 --> 02:04:58.200
more often there.

02:04:58.200 --> 02:04:59.280
What a performance from Wavy.

02:04:59.280 --> 02:05:00.600
We'll see him play tomorrow.

02:05:00.600 --> 02:05:03.680
Let's find out who he's going to be playing against as we

02:05:03.680 --> 02:05:05.320
continue on with our bracket.

02:05:05.320 --> 02:05:07.960
It will be the loser between AJ and Evo.

02:05:07.960 --> 02:05:08.560
What a matchup.

02:05:08.560 --> 02:05:10.560
That'll be no matter what happens there.

02:05:10.560 --> 02:05:13.200
We have another elimination match down here in the bottom.

02:05:13.200 --> 02:05:16.080
And I'm pained to see where we're going to be going.

02:05:16.080 --> 02:05:18.320
Some quick updates quickly before we continue

02:05:18.320 --> 02:05:20.040
our with our North American broadcast.

02:05:20.040 --> 02:05:22.160
Killers does fall to FBI here.

02:05:22.160 --> 02:05:25.680
It'll be FBI versus Novo in the semifinals.

02:05:25.680 --> 02:05:27.080
Ops versus TRK.

02:05:27.080 --> 02:05:28.440
It looks like it's a 4-0.

02:05:28.440 --> 02:05:31.320
Ops had technical difficulties and could not

02:05:31.320 --> 02:05:33.720
connect to the lobby consistently enough.

02:05:33.720 --> 02:05:36.920
That was a forfeit tragic result for ops there.

02:05:36.920 --> 02:05:39.480
TRK gets to advance for free against Nush.

02:05:39.480 --> 02:05:42.080
So it'll be TRK and Nush on one side at FBI

02:05:42.080 --> 02:05:45.440
and Nobu on the other side for the Mena Grand Finals.

02:05:45.440 --> 02:05:47.480
Here's some of the highlights from the FBI Killers match

02:05:47.480 --> 02:05:50.600
that did go down FBI doing his best job

02:05:50.600 --> 02:05:54.760
and ending the triple crown potential here for Falcons.

02:05:54.760 --> 02:05:56.240
There's only one player left in the world

02:05:56.240 --> 02:05:59.640
that has the possibility of winning all three and Dickies.

02:05:59.640 --> 02:06:04.560
And then Zach, Zach from SSG, spilling it, still has a chance.

02:06:04.560 --> 02:06:07.640
And you know, I think Zach, taking that wavy as well,

02:06:07.640 --> 02:06:09.000
makes him a real contender.

02:06:09.000 --> 02:06:12.800
Obviously Diaz is the player that represented North America,

02:06:12.800 --> 02:06:14.280
Alaska around.

02:06:14.280 --> 02:06:16.640
But I think first killer might be the new favorite,

02:06:16.640 --> 02:06:20.400
potentially, if he can start playing his game.

02:06:20.400 --> 02:06:22.200
Well, he's going to have to get through some pretty tough

02:06:22.200 --> 02:06:25.080
competition here as we continue on with our North American

02:06:25.080 --> 02:06:25.480
bracket.

02:06:25.480 --> 02:06:28.480
We completed one of our elimination matches.

02:06:28.480 --> 02:06:31.420
We got the two upper bracket matches that are not elimination matches coming up here

02:06:31.420 --> 02:06:32.420
in just a little bit.

02:06:32.420 --> 02:06:36.020
And then we have that Grand Finals, so they will hold those Grand Finals of Mina for the

02:06:36.020 --> 02:06:37.100
end of our broadcast.

02:06:37.100 --> 02:06:40.460
So nothing's changed about that schedule despite the forfeit.

02:06:40.460 --> 02:06:43.700
Let's talk about the next elimination match and man, we're going to lose a favorite here,

02:06:43.700 --> 02:06:45.580
a fan favorite, no matter what.

02:06:45.580 --> 02:06:50.980
First killer taken on Zapatos, the sentio on one side, probably a fennec on the other.

02:06:50.980 --> 02:06:54.380
They'll at least change it to an octane there for Zapatos on this one.

02:06:54.380 --> 02:06:58.380
If somebody needs it. Oh, wow.

02:06:58.380 --> 02:07:01.380
I'm actually a production hit up James. He's he's competing.

02:07:01.380 --> 02:07:06.380
He's a computer to a couple of my events. You know, so I've actually got a big I'm a big fan as a pot dose.

02:07:06.380 --> 02:07:11.380
I think, you know, he is such an interesting player and he honestly like hit.

02:07:11.380 --> 02:07:18.380
If you watch how he plays, like how good of a freestyle or he is, how good his mechs are, it truly is stunning.

02:07:18.380 --> 02:07:21.980
like how how much controls Aotos has over his cars.

02:07:21.980 --> 02:07:25.500
The type of shots that he can hit are out of this world.

02:07:25.500 --> 02:07:29.020
Like I think mechanically, I would even say that, you know,

02:07:29.020 --> 02:07:31.020
he can do more impressive things than first killer,

02:07:31.020 --> 02:07:35.100
but I think it's the strategy where first killer has him be.

02:07:35.660 --> 02:07:37.900
It's a strategy and just experience

02:07:38.940 --> 02:07:42.060
and his ability to be effective and all fast as of the game.

02:07:42.060 --> 02:07:45.180
First killer can hit you in all points and hit you with flakes.

02:07:45.180 --> 02:07:48.820
He gets your power shots, hook shots off the ceiling.

02:07:48.820 --> 02:07:51.460
He's aggressive on defense, aggressive on offense.

02:07:51.460 --> 02:07:53.220
That's just how FK approaches the game.

02:07:53.220 --> 02:07:55.460
And I'm on with you, I'm on that game.

02:07:55.460 --> 02:07:59.540
Zabatoz, he might have, he might have the ability

02:07:59.540 --> 02:08:02.260
to be a little more mechanical and clinical.

02:08:02.260 --> 02:08:04.220
Honestly, in the split game and in the air,

02:08:04.220 --> 02:08:05.900
but when it comes down to it, I mean,

02:08:05.900 --> 02:08:07.580
he's gonna have to be able to deal with the first one.

02:08:07.580 --> 02:08:09.060
It's about being well rounded.

02:08:09.060 --> 02:08:13.300
It's about being well, as we saw in that Wavey Bora matchup,

02:08:13.300 --> 02:08:15.900
I think that's a great example how, you know,

02:08:15.900 --> 02:08:18.180
a lot of ones is strategy.

02:08:18.180 --> 02:08:19.860
So much of it is strategy.

02:08:19.860 --> 02:08:23.900
You can lose on the mechanical side of things

02:08:23.900 --> 02:08:25.420
if you have the better strategy,

02:08:25.420 --> 02:08:27.220
if you can predict your opponent.

02:08:27.220 --> 02:08:29.820
So, this is gonna be a really tough match

02:08:29.820 --> 02:08:32.540
for think the first killer, a heavy favorite.

02:08:32.540 --> 02:08:34.940
All right, well, you heard you for the analysis on the desk.

02:08:34.940 --> 02:08:37.300
Chad, let us know what you think is gonna be the winner,

02:08:37.300 --> 02:08:38.260
or just who your favorite is,

02:08:38.260 --> 02:08:40.220
who you want to have win here.

02:08:40.220 --> 02:08:41.740
Bates, who you got?

02:08:41.740 --> 02:08:44.200
Man, just marking me and James down the first kill you heard us already.

02:08:44.200 --> 02:08:44.700
No!

02:08:44.700 --> 02:08:46.060
James, I'm taking your prediction.

02:08:46.060 --> 02:08:46.560
No!

02:08:46.560 --> 02:08:47.060
No!

02:08:47.060 --> 02:08:48.060
Well, you say no.

02:08:48.060 --> 02:08:50.660
I am going to pick Zapatos here.

02:08:50.660 --> 02:08:55.820
I have seen him take games off of the best 1v1 players in the world.

02:08:55.820 --> 02:09:02.140
And Zapatos also, he is, he is for a long time been my favorite ones player ever.

02:09:02.140 --> 02:09:07.180
And I actually have a training program where I'm grinding the Mugsard air dribble gauntlet

02:09:07.180 --> 02:09:10.820
because of what I've seen Zapatos do and how good he is.

02:09:10.820 --> 02:09:15.020
So I know it's an underdog pick, but I'm picking Zapatos.

02:09:15.020 --> 02:09:19.700
Look, I want Zapatos to win this.

02:09:19.700 --> 02:09:22.220
Any time you give me somebody that's not driving an Octane

02:09:22.220 --> 02:09:24.220
or a Fedecai or a Dominus, I'm already rooting for them.

02:09:24.220 --> 02:09:25.620
But it's also a Centiel.

02:09:25.620 --> 02:09:27.860
One of my favorite, favorite vehicles here.

02:09:27.860 --> 02:09:29.020
He makes it look stylish.

02:09:29.020 --> 02:09:30.300
He's invented new playstyles.

02:09:30.300 --> 02:09:32.020
He's got a mechanic named after him because of what

02:09:32.020 --> 02:09:32.820
he does on this car.

02:09:32.820 --> 02:09:35.020
I want to see him win, but he's going

02:09:35.020 --> 02:09:36.180
to have to be a little bit less of a shoe

02:09:36.180 --> 02:09:37.900
and a little bit more of the legendary Lightning Bird.

02:09:37.900 --> 02:09:39.180
He's going to have to live in the Thunder Clouds.

02:09:39.180 --> 02:09:40.420
If he wants to take this one down,

02:09:40.420 --> 02:09:45.300
I need to see Zapdos not Zapatos if you want to take down first killer because this is not it's not even championship Sunday

02:09:45.300 --> 02:09:48.000
First killer is untouchable in the system circumstance like this

02:09:48.000 --> 02:09:52.220
I do think first killer will win despite the fact that I want Zapatos to win

02:09:52.220 --> 02:09:57.460
I will pick first killer of this one folks. It's so close. It's close in my heart, but on paper

02:09:57.880 --> 02:10:04.380
Man, he's it's just logically like it's his first killer. He's always does it here, but he's the favorites in chat as well

02:10:04.660 --> 02:10:09.900
Man, what an accomplishment it would be if Zapatos continues the championship Sunday over

02:10:09.900 --> 02:10:12.900
the first one. He's got to get

02:10:12.900 --> 02:10:14.900
through the Mexican here. Let's

02:10:14.900 --> 02:10:18.900
play some rock. The once

02:10:18.900 --> 02:10:20.900
undisputed king of North

02:10:20.900 --> 02:10:22.900
American one be one has fallen

02:10:22.900 --> 02:10:24.900
to the lower bracket and on the

02:10:24.900 --> 02:10:26.900
other side of the field is a

02:10:26.900 --> 02:10:28.900
player hungry for a landmark

02:10:28.900 --> 02:10:29.900
winning his one to one career

02:10:29.900 --> 02:10:31.900
on his way out. We have game

02:10:31.900 --> 02:10:33.900
one brought to you by

02:10:33.900 --> 02:10:35.900
progressive Johnny. Yeah, he

02:10:35.900 --> 02:10:41.700
game one brought to you by progressive Johnny. Yeah you know I like that the

02:10:41.700 --> 02:10:48.020
desk are giving us the hope for Zepatos but you know his name might be Zepatos

02:10:48.020 --> 02:10:50.460
but I think it's gonna be first killer who's running away with this one like

02:10:50.460 --> 02:10:55.340
you mentioned he's in the lower bracket but this is only the only right where

02:10:55.340 --> 02:10:58.620
he's gonna be in the lower bracket. After this there is no upper bracket lower

02:10:58.620 --> 02:11:01.860
bracket and it's gonna be first killer in my opinion advancing. Let's see

02:11:01.860 --> 02:11:04.140
because Pazos can't nearly upset.

02:11:05.380 --> 02:11:08.660
Pazos is going to be diving all over the ball every moment.

02:11:08.660 --> 02:11:11.580
He can and he's got to be fairly mechanical as well

02:11:11.580 --> 02:11:14.700
and opening goal that can give hope to the Pazos fans

02:11:14.700 --> 02:11:16.820
who had him winning the Fando at the start of this,

02:11:16.820 --> 02:11:19.340
despite first killer being who he is.

02:11:19.340 --> 02:11:21.660
Pazos gets the first flip of the game.

02:11:21.660 --> 02:11:24.460
That's a great touch by Pazos.

02:11:24.460 --> 02:11:27.820
Just gently caress him all into the ceiling.

02:11:27.820 --> 02:11:30.620
We often see those ceiling double tops hit a lot faster

02:11:30.620 --> 02:11:34.280
that one that was a very controlled touch first killer couldn't get up to that

02:11:34.280 --> 02:11:38.840
he wasn't gonna hit that air roll shot if I'm not mistaken Spatos going the other

02:11:38.840 --> 02:11:45.440
way he's got you know good speed this guy he's very flashy really free both

02:11:45.440 --> 02:11:49.640
players he's gonna need to play a lot of pace today if he's gonna keep up with

02:11:49.640 --> 02:11:54.340
first killer so it's great movement first killer with it wall bash closes the

02:11:54.340 --> 02:11:58.520
distance 50-50 wins the mcgull Spatos is still tentative

02:11:58.520 --> 02:12:04.020
He needs to trust that first two is going to be there and try and jump and stop some of them in the corner.

02:12:04.020 --> 02:12:08.020
He's got a tiny aim and first killer is going to make a miss in the midfield, Svatoz.

02:12:08.020 --> 02:12:11.520
He had a little bit of a switch up as he tried to get this ball on top of his car

02:12:11.520 --> 02:12:16.520
and maybe first killer getting baked out and I've only tried to turn in shadow and it's not going to cut it.

02:12:16.520 --> 02:12:18.020
Svatoz will look around him.

02:12:18.020 --> 02:12:22.020
Yeah, well the best challenge by first killer is losing all his momentum.

02:12:22.020 --> 02:12:26.020
Very strange to see the low flick like that one going in.

02:12:26.020 --> 02:12:29.460
That's fresh killer who's usually so good defensively

02:12:30.020 --> 02:12:33.720
Don't maybe about playing for a pump there. I see Zepato challenge in my all the way

02:12:33.720 --> 02:12:37.940
So Zepato sending it absolute whole rough challenge for me

02:12:38.860 --> 02:12:43.260
Fresh killer could see it. I mean the most big points dribbles. It's very easy to see the defender coming

02:12:43.860 --> 02:12:48.420
Yes, about those is I've seen it play well when he tries to chase down the ball

02:12:48.540 --> 02:12:51.580
But the key is to never let the separation be there in the first place

02:12:51.580 --> 02:12:58.220
Sibantos just left way too far away to then just turn around and challenge all the way back in very telegraph and first killer

02:12:58.380 --> 02:13:05.100
Can't see that right now Sibantos has always advantage is waiting for first killer to leave which first killer finally will

02:13:05.660 --> 02:13:10.260
Sibantos can't get you whatever you want in the air actually first killer knows that too try to challenge on the top

02:13:10.260 --> 02:13:14.260
This is gonna bounce. No, it's gonna bounce in I thought maybe too high. But anyway Sibantos would win the Eurofinishing

02:13:14.980 --> 02:13:19.980
Yeah, first killer clearly worried about getting flipped on as he tries to the ceiling challenge

02:13:19.980 --> 02:13:24.980
You thought Zepatzos was going to pull the trigger, go for the backboard, and we know that he's capable of that.

02:13:24.980 --> 02:13:28.980
Zepatzos just lets the ball fall down and snore by itself.

02:13:28.980 --> 02:13:32.980
Another aerial play coming in for Zepatzos. Reset. Here's Ceiling height.

02:13:32.980 --> 02:13:37.980
Another rush challenge from Farskiller. You just don't want to play going defense against Zepatzos in aerial game.

02:13:37.980 --> 02:13:42.980
Zepatzos did a good job of keeping that away in Farskiller though after diving in.

02:13:42.980 --> 02:13:48.980
Zepatzos is thinking just about no forward progress on his air dribble, which also sometimes can throw off a person who's stealing a challenge game

02:13:48.980 --> 02:13:51.780
challenging because they're expecting the ball to move a little bit closer to them.

02:13:51.780 --> 02:13:54.340
So, first of all, we're still being able to duck that.

02:13:54.340 --> 02:13:59.220
And then, first of all, they're going to love to play, you know, this speedy, outplayed type game

02:13:59.220 --> 02:14:03.460
where you can reach into midfield, knows that these quick spots are like pretty quick.

02:14:03.460 --> 02:14:09.220
First of all, they're on the quicker, so he's going to win this kickoff, but I think best.

02:14:09.220 --> 02:14:11.540
Oh, and a demo means tons of space.

02:14:11.540 --> 02:14:14.140
Now, what is first going to go to when you can do whatever he wants?

02:14:14.140 --> 02:14:16.300
It looks like it's going to be an air drum with spotless autogun.

02:14:16.300 --> 02:14:16.700
Oh, my God.

02:14:16.700 --> 02:14:18.700
Extended straight down, it's actually going to bounce high enough

02:14:18.700 --> 02:14:20.200
That's the Batos might be on his back

02:14:20.200 --> 02:14:22.200
He didn't get the 100, but he will get the clear

02:14:22.200 --> 02:14:25.200
Yeah, he kind of fell over and his recovery there is Batos

02:14:25.200 --> 02:14:28.700
But he did get back, thanks to that skim that he got in defense

02:14:28.700 --> 02:14:31.700
Pressurizing with the backwards, Batos with a huge save

02:14:31.700 --> 02:14:33.700
How's he managed that? That's great touch

02:14:33.700 --> 02:14:35.700
Had to be so careful not to own goal

02:14:35.700 --> 02:14:37.700
Now he's really up against it here

02:14:37.700 --> 02:14:41.200
Pressurizing, piling the pressure off, and he might be about to score

02:14:41.200 --> 02:14:42.200
Maybe he can find a way through

02:14:42.200 --> 02:14:44.700
Batos doesn't fault for the mind game, that's massive for it

02:14:44.700 --> 02:14:49.200
And the full shot cleared away, but it's still first killer in control.

02:14:49.200 --> 02:14:51.700
Wall dashing from Zvon to close the distance.

02:14:51.700 --> 02:14:56.700
The aerial play from first killer Zvon does his done well to stop these enforces this one high.

02:14:56.700 --> 02:14:59.700
And we'll have time to get back to Zvon. Let's go for the 100 boost.

02:14:59.700 --> 02:15:02.700
That was the right decision as you cannot recover in time.

02:15:02.700 --> 02:15:05.700
Yeah, he was going to be in an off spot either way, but like I mentioned,

02:15:05.700 --> 02:15:09.200
goes to the 100 boost that gives first killer space at the near post.

02:15:09.200 --> 02:15:12.700
I think I'm going to like to see him close the gap on the small pines.

02:15:12.700 --> 02:15:14.700
There were a lot of small fights available.

02:15:14.700 --> 02:15:17.700
Just put the pressure on Farskiller before you can control it.

02:15:17.700 --> 02:15:19.700
It's been a good game though.

02:15:19.700 --> 02:15:21.700
Parley for Zapatos.

02:15:21.700 --> 02:15:24.700
He's got an advantageous position for himself here.

02:15:24.700 --> 02:15:26.700
Up Parley, controlling touch.

02:15:26.700 --> 02:15:29.700
And get the reset, or the site against it.

02:15:29.700 --> 02:15:30.700
Now it's too easy.

02:15:30.700 --> 02:15:32.700
Farskiller always going to save that.

02:15:32.700 --> 02:15:34.700
And walks in for 5-3.

02:15:34.700 --> 02:15:39.700
As Zapatos needs to recognize that this doesn't need to be a shot.

02:15:39.700 --> 02:15:43.660
down the ground you know it's it's clear that no longer it was the animal

02:15:43.660 --> 02:15:46.760
real chance of scoring so you almost switch to playing defense in the air

02:15:46.760 --> 02:15:49.780
plus how you score and more about how you maintain possession how you stop a

02:15:49.780 --> 02:15:54.060
counter attack side-lipping there is trying to keep the offense going when

02:15:54.060 --> 02:15:57.780
you really shouldn't then it just gives a free one to first killer who has got

02:15:57.780 --> 02:16:03.780
another possession on a big air dribble. Oh, line over the top. A huge fight game by

02:16:03.780 --> 02:16:08.940
first killers, that's us. Pre-jumping extremely high if you thought first

02:16:08.940 --> 02:16:17.940
first killer is going to get a heavy touch to the backboard there. He was covered in the double tap, first killer, merely looking like he's going for the backboard instead, plays for the mindgate down low.

02:16:18.940 --> 02:16:26.940
You know, first killer's paying attention to that. Oh, what a touch, by the way, just in passing. First killer's going to be up 7-3 with another huge fake.

02:16:26.940 --> 02:16:32.480
If first killer is noticing that Svatoz is challenging Kyle like this, and he's always

02:16:32.480 --> 02:16:38.780
lunging forward, you know, he can anticipate the identification that Svatoz is going to

02:16:38.780 --> 02:16:39.780
make.

02:16:39.780 --> 02:16:43.540
Svatoz is going to start making challenges, realizing that his lunges aren't working.

02:16:43.540 --> 02:16:46.820
That's when first killer will actually start to make those plays like the double taps in

02:16:46.820 --> 02:16:47.820
the backport.

02:16:47.820 --> 02:16:56.820
He's got a sentio and so he's always at risk to watch a flick no matter what position he's in.

02:16:56.820 --> 02:16:58.820
12 moves to work with as well.

02:16:58.820 --> 02:17:00.820
Way more than a 107 kilometer per hour.

02:17:00.820 --> 02:17:02.820
I think he's going to get sped up by first kill.

02:17:02.820 --> 02:17:04.820
But still, a very, very strong flick.

02:17:04.820 --> 02:17:07.820
I think I wanted to bring up to your notice with Sabatos.

02:17:07.820 --> 02:17:09.820
We've talked about all of your kickoffs in one.

02:17:09.820 --> 02:17:12.820
If there's any player who I think is the most once you're phony,

02:17:12.820 --> 02:17:16.260
Phony sticks to his one punch, he's practiced millions of times.

02:17:16.260 --> 02:17:18.100
It is Zapato's off the way of his kickoff.

02:17:18.100 --> 02:17:20.580
We'll see if he ever moves away from that.

02:17:20.580 --> 02:17:22.460
First Killer's been mirroring in the past few times,

02:17:22.460 --> 02:17:23.780
actually been able to beat him at it,

02:17:23.780 --> 02:17:26.980
which Zapato's been known for having a tough kickoff to deal with.

02:17:26.980 --> 02:17:28.500
Right now, First Killer has dealt with it,

02:17:28.500 --> 02:17:31.860
and he's got a backflip shot to extend the lead even more.

02:17:31.860 --> 02:17:34.620
Yeah, I've seen that a lot in the past.

02:17:34.620 --> 02:17:36.620
Players trained to lay kickoffs against Zapato.

02:17:36.620 --> 02:17:39.140
Some people have called this kickoff unplayable.

02:17:39.140 --> 02:17:41.820
when they try to play standard kickoffs

02:17:41.820 --> 02:17:44.480
or wait dash recoveries against it.

02:17:44.480 --> 02:17:48.740
Matzos does, oh, not quite chemical, as first killer.

02:17:48.740 --> 02:17:50.380
We take crazy save up the inside post.

02:17:50.380 --> 02:17:52.860
In fact, let's take another look at it, can we?

02:17:52.860 --> 02:17:54.940
Replay off the rail, let's see if we can get,

02:17:54.940 --> 02:17:58.020
there it is, first killers, post pitch save.

02:17:58.020 --> 02:17:59.980
Thank you to Matzos for scoring the next shot

02:17:59.980 --> 02:18:02.580
so that we did get to another look at that.

02:18:02.580 --> 02:18:04.620
Yeah, great play by Matzos first killer.

02:18:04.620 --> 02:18:06.140
She's creeping out after making a save.

02:18:06.140 --> 02:18:12.640
He has no boost, so you see players on 0, try and pat over a couple pads while still playing defense.

02:18:12.640 --> 02:18:18.640
That's because if they try and sit in that on 0, they're almost certainly going to get scored on, eventually the Acular creeping out.

02:18:18.640 --> 02:18:23.140
Took a risk, Zapatos gets it all the time, but every time we try and talk about something else,

02:18:23.140 --> 02:18:28.640
First Killer just gets a quick kick up goal, and that right now is to cushion here in this game, number one.

02:18:28.640 --> 02:18:35.220
Yeah, it's a tough one for Zapatos. He's not been able to turn enough of his possessions

02:18:35.220 --> 02:18:41.340
into goals to stay with 1st skillar in a high scoring game like this one. Zapatos only has

02:18:41.340 --> 02:18:47.260
one save to his name against nine goals for 1st skillar. So he's been going forward a

02:18:47.260 --> 02:18:52.020
deep end so he's not doing a lot of shadowing. You know, 1st skillar likewise, they're both

02:18:52.020 --> 02:18:56.180
going for challenges. They don't want to, like we saw earlier, they don't want to be on the

02:18:56.180 --> 02:19:03.300
go line, depending against the offense that they are each capable of. That's a choice

02:19:03.300 --> 02:19:08.580
by Perkzkiller and it's more of a necessity by Zapatoz, he has to go forward against Perkzkiller,

02:19:08.580 --> 02:19:13.460
he's not going to win a chess match where they're taking turns, taking potions at each other.

02:19:15.060 --> 02:19:19.300
Even if you are going to go the other way, turn it into a mechanics battle against FK,

02:19:19.300 --> 02:19:25.380
that's not easy either. Yeah, definitely not. Zapatoz, he might be, you know, I think that's

02:19:25.380 --> 02:19:29.980
James is looking to more mechanical in terms of the question of who can get the most resets in a row almost

02:19:29.980 --> 02:19:34.860
We got less but first killer has always been the pioneer of the hidden mechanics

02:19:34.860 --> 02:19:40.500
Secret mechanics just blooming the ball and you're getting all the perfect little first soft touches all these things are mechanics too

02:19:40.500 --> 02:19:44.660
People don't think of it that way but first killer is you know one of the best at doing it

02:19:45.460 --> 02:19:53.100
Yeah, he's faster. He's more efficient and you just get an average higher average level of

02:19:53.100 --> 02:19:58.100
of. Touch quality like every

02:19:58.100 --> 02:19:59.100
single touch that you'll make.

02:19:59.100 --> 02:20:01.100
Just going to be slightly better

02:20:01.100 --> 02:20:02.100
on average than the touches

02:20:02.100 --> 02:20:03.100
battles, making whether it's

02:20:03.100 --> 02:20:05.100
controlled touches or moving

02:20:05.100 --> 02:20:06.100
touches or something in between.

02:20:06.100 --> 02:20:09.100
He's not too shabby in the in the

02:20:09.100 --> 02:20:10.100
what you might get either first

02:20:10.100 --> 02:20:11.100
color. He's kind of what he's

02:20:11.100 --> 02:20:14.100
put in the work earlier in his

02:20:14.100 --> 02:20:16.100
career. You know with the one we

02:20:16.100 --> 02:20:18.100
won reps, I think that we've seen

02:20:18.100 --> 02:20:20.100
that with players like AJ coming

02:20:20.100 --> 02:20:21.100
back is still be so effective.

02:20:21.100 --> 02:20:23.820
the mental pressure of 1v1 way back in the day,

02:20:23.820 --> 02:20:27.060
and now it's just a matter of keeping up with the modern day mechanics,

02:20:27.060 --> 02:20:29.620
keeping up with the young mechanical players.

02:20:29.620 --> 02:20:32.260
Something at First Killer's never had an issue with.

02:20:32.260 --> 02:20:34.540
Yeah, Zapatoz is a mechanical player,

02:20:34.540 --> 02:20:36.500
and he was once a young mechanical player,

02:20:36.500 --> 02:20:38.820
but I don't know if he's a young mechanical player anymore.

02:20:38.820 --> 02:20:41.300
As he's saying this is his last go in the tournament,

02:20:41.300 --> 02:20:43.300
I'm not sure we brought that up before, it's pretty much.

02:20:43.300 --> 02:20:47.020
He says his last competitive tournament is going to run the RLCS,

02:20:47.020 --> 02:20:50.100
so he's always been that one's player who shine most in once.

02:20:50.100 --> 02:20:54.380
He's trying to dabble here and there and the other game modes, but you know top six not easy to do

02:20:54.380 --> 02:20:58.060
That's the kind of results that sponsors got in the past is the one he's trying to go for right now

02:20:58.140 --> 02:21:02.540
But he has maybe one of the toughest people to do it against in front of him

02:21:02.540 --> 02:21:04.540
He wasn't able to do it in game number one

02:21:04.540 --> 02:21:09.080
We're right to a kickoff and we'll surely see some process going we've got a kickoff again

02:21:09.080 --> 02:21:11.380
The question is whether or not they'll start getting his way

02:21:12.780 --> 02:21:17.620
He's not in a pair go event in the first year the kickoffs are overall quite even now

02:21:17.620 --> 02:21:19.620
Here comes the ceiling double attempt by Freshkiller.

02:21:19.620 --> 02:21:23.220
Got a bit of a heavy touch on the second contact though.

02:21:23.220 --> 02:21:26.220
That gives away to Zepatos, who of course

02:21:26.220 --> 02:21:28.260
is going to point some heavy touch like that.

02:21:28.260 --> 02:21:30.860
That's how he has shown us he wants to play defense

02:21:30.860 --> 02:21:31.940
in this matchup.

02:21:31.940 --> 02:21:33.780
He wants to challenge as early as possible.

02:21:33.780 --> 02:21:35.580
Freshkiller gives him a heavy touch to play with

02:21:35.580 --> 02:21:36.980
in the grind or in the air.

02:21:36.980 --> 02:21:38.420
Zepatos is going to point.

02:21:39.460 --> 02:21:40.700
Yes, Zepatos.

02:21:40.700 --> 02:21:42.020
With a save over the early edge,

02:21:42.020 --> 02:21:43.700
he talks about you didn't miss the pick up though.

02:21:43.700 --> 02:21:46.340
I mean, this low car didn't have to do with the sentio,

02:21:46.340 --> 02:21:52.340
He's trying to catch it, and the hitbox is so low it just tries right around it.

02:21:52.340 --> 02:21:56.340
And unfortunately, his first kill with a freebie just can't afford to be giving up.

02:21:56.340 --> 02:22:01.340
These kind of freebies against the guy like first killer, it's going to be such a tough game either way.

02:22:01.340 --> 02:22:07.340
If you're letting them have one or two or three free ones, that's a deficit that you will not be able to make back.

02:22:07.340 --> 02:22:11.340
And that's another possession that Spontos has given away again.

02:22:11.340 --> 02:22:14.980
I think he might be seeking perfection here with his

02:22:16.180 --> 02:22:18.180
dribbling off these kickoffs

02:22:18.220 --> 02:22:22.140
In these low boost situations, but he's got to just get something going

02:22:22.140 --> 02:22:26.100
It doesn't need to be perfect. It's a flip reset, defense by some pastel stats created

02:22:26.100 --> 02:22:29.900
But as you've already said it for the most, no first killer launches it into the backfork

02:22:30.140 --> 02:22:32.940
That was open for him and he's missed it

02:22:34.020 --> 02:22:36.020
That was the other way

02:22:36.020 --> 02:22:37.020
A chance to show some of those flicks

02:22:37.020 --> 02:22:44.940
The first killer respected it. He sees that sent your point its nose down and he knows an absolute rocket might be headed to his net

02:22:44.940 --> 02:22:49.340
So he has to jump off the tracks up and put some on us brings it to the ground for a second goal

02:22:50.140 --> 02:22:53.460
The very creative as we've said he's he's still correct in the air

02:22:53.460 --> 02:23:01.780
That right there is why personally doesn't want to play goalie defense against the bad thoughts you're gonna need to read the impossible

02:23:02.260 --> 02:23:04.020
plays if you do

02:23:04.020 --> 02:23:06.020
much easier instead to just

02:23:06.020 --> 02:23:08.020
beat the man to the ball

02:23:08.020 --> 02:23:10.020
in the midfield, perfectly placed

02:23:10.020 --> 02:23:12.020
can't be helped to go there by

02:23:12.020 --> 02:23:14.020
Parshkiller to type things out

02:23:15.020 --> 02:23:17.020
Parshkiller trying to

02:23:17.020 --> 02:23:19.020
force a standard kick-off through

02:23:19.020 --> 02:23:21.020
a consistent wave dash kick-off

02:23:21.020 --> 02:23:23.020
from Sabato's, it's not going quite as well from

02:23:23.020 --> 02:23:25.020
he's actually had the better of him when they've been

02:23:25.020 --> 02:23:27.020
matching the wave dash so it's

02:23:27.020 --> 02:23:29.020
interesting to see Parshkiller mix it up, you'd expect

02:23:29.020 --> 02:23:31.020
Sabato's to be the one who needs to

02:23:31.020 --> 02:23:33.020
I don't think he will, because he loves his wave dash so much

02:23:33.020 --> 02:23:36.460
much, but when it's not going that well, it should be a nice flick.

02:23:36.460 --> 02:23:37.460
Good ball.

02:23:37.460 --> 02:23:38.460
First kill, 3-2.

02:23:38.460 --> 02:23:41.460
That's a great play, first killer.

02:23:41.460 --> 02:23:45.940
Keeping them all in the perfect position in the front of his car, so that you get immediately

02:23:45.940 --> 02:23:46.940
flicked.

02:23:46.940 --> 02:23:48.300
I mean, I know it's like wasted there.

02:23:48.300 --> 02:23:52.060
Usually when you're learning to flick the ball, you leave a small delay between your

02:23:52.060 --> 02:23:55.060
first jump and your dodge, but that was instantaneous.

02:23:55.060 --> 02:23:56.060
He just matched it.

02:23:56.060 --> 02:23:59.060
Jumped by it twice as quickly as he could.

02:23:59.060 --> 02:24:00.380
And it didn't matter.

02:24:00.380 --> 02:24:01.380
No nice flick there.

02:24:01.380 --> 02:24:03.380
Oh, good plays with Paisos!

02:24:03.380 --> 02:24:08.880
I'll tell you what, we're getting some quick equalizers here, so Paisos's the latest to make what happen.

02:24:08.880 --> 02:24:19.380
As Paisos wanted to kick off into that orange half, and oftentimes players will just try and pitch the ball away as a way to buy themselves time to actually reset and get boosted, that's of course what they're going for.

02:24:19.380 --> 02:24:25.380
So Paisos have a really tough 50 to get right in the right spot to stop the pitch and force it towards an end.

02:24:25.380 --> 02:24:29.380
It's not easy to do, and then using that lift that he had available to catch back up to it.

02:24:29.380 --> 02:24:47.380
I'm trying to get Zavatos to panic, which right now, Zavatos has been doing that, and he's gonna get back, but he hits the inside of his net, which means he's gonna be first killer possession.

02:24:47.380 --> 02:24:52.380
First killer known as the Pazos has got boost here, so he has to respect the approach.

02:24:52.380 --> 02:24:56.380
This is a crossbar, he wanted the ball to go a bit further away than that though.

02:24:56.380 --> 02:25:00.380
Can he stay with it? Yes, he can go over the boost, he's back for him, first killer.

02:25:00.380 --> 02:25:05.380
Going to go for the awkward takeoff, perfect read, and again, Spazos is sticking to the game plan.

02:25:05.380 --> 02:25:10.380
He's going forward in defense, but unfortunately for him, first killer is seeing it a mile away

02:25:10.380 --> 02:25:14.380
and he's managed to get both the ball and his car past the challenge.

02:25:14.380 --> 02:25:18.880
Yeah, I feel for that balance, he's maybe slightly backward between his Pato's stuff.

02:25:18.880 --> 02:25:21.380
His skillet was more awkward than he was.

02:25:21.380 --> 02:25:23.380
Diving and challenging, doesn't work in.

02:25:23.380 --> 02:25:26.880
So Pato's just somewhere on the wall, he must have gotten caught up or wasn't looking at his QB.

02:25:26.880 --> 02:25:29.380
First killer with the double jump over the wall.

02:25:29.380 --> 02:25:30.880
He's in style a little bit.

02:25:30.880 --> 02:25:33.380
Obviously he's in the back of the wall, what happened there?

02:25:33.380 --> 02:25:35.880
Yeah, he's just falling over and he can't get up.

02:25:35.880 --> 02:25:39.880
A bit of a bunch of there for his Pato's.

02:25:39.880 --> 02:25:42.380
But you know, he's pushing himself to the limit here.

02:25:42.380 --> 02:25:47.580
He's trying to go as fast as he can to give himself a chance against the FK.

02:25:47.580 --> 02:25:50.180
Unfortunately, FK is just never going to have an issue with that.

02:25:50.180 --> 02:25:56.380
There are very few players who can make the first skill feel uncomfortable by up in the base.

02:25:56.380 --> 02:25:59.380
So Pat's also learning that lesson the hard way.

02:26:01.380 --> 02:26:02.380
I've played through this one.

02:26:02.380 --> 02:26:05.380
We go deficit with Sabatoz to bring back.

02:26:05.380 --> 02:26:08.380
He's had great plays here and there.

02:26:08.380 --> 02:26:21.380
But, you know, the kickoff is a bit of a racist step, of course, because there has to be an engine that results in a game that seems fairly comfortable for him, and it's air dribble, and the first killer is not as well, so it's great.

02:26:21.380 --> 02:26:29.380
At some point here, Spatsowska asked, when is the moment in this game where I just call it to announce it off?

02:26:29.380 --> 02:26:33.140
Because, yes, he's still more than capable of coming back from the core dive.

02:26:33.140 --> 02:26:34.580
And we've seen it all ready today.

02:26:34.580 --> 02:26:36.180
Time out in a 1v1.

02:26:36.180 --> 02:26:42.260
And he does have an explosive enough kickoff that he's got the offense to enable comebacks.

02:26:42.900 --> 02:26:48.820
But it seems like you do not want to let 1st Killer completely destroy you in one of these games.

02:26:48.820 --> 02:26:53.620
Not to lock it down in defense here. Something he's not done at all this series so far.

02:26:53.620 --> 02:26:55.620
1st Killer is not going to let him.

02:26:56.660 --> 02:26:58.420
Too much on that reset.

02:26:59.380 --> 02:27:03.700
Yeah, we saw Sabantos pass a couple of aerials, try and jump early, try and meet him in the air,

02:27:03.700 --> 02:27:07.780
so Sabantos reaches up to the right, all willing to go line. I'll see if I can make a save against

02:27:07.780 --> 02:27:12.500
the first killer dribble, and he was close, but he doesn't find that either, so Sabantos

02:27:13.140 --> 02:27:18.660
doesn't know what to do now, first killer beating him every which way, and he's a sub-Sabant

02:27:18.660 --> 02:27:23.060
to play from. Another kickoff. Ooh, first killer actually switched it up, just gonna play all this

02:27:23.060 --> 02:27:27.700
time. What a mistake I would say, since it should be a Sabantos profession, Sabantos left first

02:27:27.700 --> 02:27:37.700
I can see what he's trying to do there. I don't mind it because even if he does give the ball away, he's got his five goal cushion already.

02:27:37.700 --> 02:27:47.700
And that's just going to keep the Phantas back. It's going to stop Phantas from free jumping the next time for a skill use in that kind of position.

02:27:47.700 --> 02:27:53.700
So I think I can see what he was going for there. You've got the best possible result obviously getting gold off of it.

02:27:53.700 --> 02:28:01.100
But, if something's the outcome, going right or wrong doesn't mean that the play was good

02:28:01.100 --> 02:28:06.860
or bad in accordance. It could be a good play with a bad outcome, and vice versa, this time

02:28:06.860 --> 02:28:14.060
I mean personally. All good plays, 10-3, not looking from back to ball of course, bad

02:28:14.060 --> 02:28:26.060
I think that's totally right about First Killer moving the ball away and usually in a close series you have to accept the fact that you're kind of playing for something else other than the goal in that moment.

02:28:26.060 --> 02:28:33.060
But even all of those moments, all the times that First Killer switched it up, Zapato still hasn't been able to take advantage and stop.

02:28:33.060 --> 02:28:38.060
So now everything that First Killer is doing is just working and that's why you see seven goals that are different to the two First Killers.

02:28:38.060 --> 02:28:41.380
first killer of trying to see if he can get the most resets in an aerial play as well,

02:28:41.380 --> 02:28:45.060
which is something we thought Sabatos would be able to maybe have the edge in.

02:28:45.060 --> 02:28:48.060
He's still attacking today.

02:28:48.060 --> 02:28:49.060
Try.

02:28:49.060 --> 02:28:53.060
Yeah, he's gonna try and go for that reset record.

02:28:53.060 --> 02:28:55.060
Sabatos can easily get forward.

02:28:55.060 --> 02:28:57.060
That's something we're thinking about.

02:28:57.060 --> 02:28:58.060
He tried and he gave one.

02:28:58.060 --> 02:28:59.060
I mean, everybody gets it.

02:28:59.060 --> 02:29:01.060
When he starts off an aerial group with a very self-taught,

02:29:01.060 --> 02:29:02.060
I think that's his plan.

02:29:02.060 --> 02:29:04.060
It's just as many resets as possible.

02:29:04.060 --> 02:29:07.060
Man, it doesn't, you know, it's not purely for style.

02:29:07.060 --> 02:29:11.060
I think this guy can really do some special things in the air.

02:29:11.060 --> 02:29:13.060
Has he really gone over to come back here? Let's see.

02:29:13.060 --> 02:29:16.060
How serious does this give off with problems in finals?

02:29:16.060 --> 02:29:20.060
This would be the biggest comeback in what you want history.

02:29:20.060 --> 02:29:24.060
If he can win on people's wants, he actually can get one more.

02:29:24.060 --> 02:29:28.060
He's going for it. He's trying to make this look as great as possible as we're like...

02:29:28.060 --> 02:29:30.060
First killer should see it.

02:29:30.060 --> 02:29:32.060
Give us some resets in finals. Why not?

02:29:32.060 --> 02:29:34.060
18 seconds, build some confidence.

02:29:34.060 --> 02:29:39.540
Confidence, well first killer doesn't want to see any resets. He was immediately jumping to try and take it away

02:29:40.100 --> 02:29:42.100
Spotsman has to back off so he's running by

02:29:43.340 --> 02:29:49.300
Will, can you go for something one more? Okay, here we go. Reset test. What do we got? There's one. Oh

02:29:50.020 --> 02:29:52.020
Didn't even get the seconds

02:29:52.020 --> 02:29:53.380
Not on this game

02:29:53.380 --> 02:29:54.880
Yeah, it's no good

02:29:54.880 --> 02:30:00.900
Yeah, you can see that even though the game is well and truly over press killer it does not want to give to Fatos

02:30:00.900 --> 02:30:07.400
and he goes. He knows his pathos is a very mechanical player and when he starts to feel

02:30:07.400 --> 02:30:13.440
it in the air, when he starts to get into his flow state, nobody can stop him. So first

02:30:13.440 --> 02:30:17.440
of all, he's not letting that happen. He's not giving him the consolation goal. He's

02:30:17.440 --> 02:30:24.040
just dominated the game so far. More shots, more saves. Like I said, the pathos kickoff

02:30:24.040 --> 02:30:30.720
very well. When you're able to isolate, you can even beat the stronger parts of the underdogs

02:30:30.720 --> 02:30:34.320
game. He puts a lot of pressure on us. Not just not

02:30:34.960 --> 02:30:41.600
right, even in any of the aspects he needs to. And this is how for a very long time, everybody

02:30:41.600 --> 02:30:47.040
in North America looked playing against the first kill was one step above. Zapatos was playing,

02:30:47.040 --> 02:30:52.480
you know, in that era as well. So he might have a little bit of memory of the dark days,

02:30:52.480 --> 02:30:56.800
when nobody could take him down. Unfortunately, we have a Colby who can. But Zapatos, he's stepped

02:30:56.800 --> 02:31:02.000
He's taking his time out here, but you do have in these best of sevens and he's using it to its full extent

02:31:02.000 --> 02:31:06.960
He has left the desk. I like that. I like that from Zepatsos. This is a smart time out

02:31:07.720 --> 02:31:09.720
maybe

02:31:09.720 --> 02:31:15.000
You know, hopefully for him you can just pour Farskiller with this one

02:31:16.000 --> 02:31:18.920
Farskiller having to sit through an extra minute

02:31:19.400 --> 02:31:22.360
But truth be told Farskiller after his performance yesterday

02:31:22.360 --> 02:31:35.360
against Diaz in the Swiss stage. He looked in great form for this tournament and you know that was closer than I thought that the Diaz series was going to be when the first player played him.

02:31:35.360 --> 02:31:42.360
So I think he's just looking imperious and I would be surprised if he doesn't make a run through the bracket here.

02:31:42.360 --> 02:31:49.160
here's a patios just the first victim really. Next in line would be Zac if I'm not mistaken that

02:31:49.160 --> 02:31:56.920
is of course if Diaz can beat Zac and send him to Lord Bracket. What do you think? Do you think

02:31:56.920 --> 02:32:02.760
it's inevitable that we have first killer go run this Bracket into the final? I'm not sure. We have

02:32:02.760 --> 02:32:07.400
a couple people who have been able to take him down. I have to take a quick look at his whole way

02:32:07.400 --> 02:32:12.560
You're saying he plays the loser of Zach Diaz and then he'll play the winner of AJ Evo

02:32:12.560 --> 02:32:16.480
If you were to yeah all the way through and then presumably he'll have Diaz and the grand final

02:32:16.480 --> 02:32:17.480
I mean it's tough

02:32:17.480 --> 02:32:20.260
We had first killer second for a reason against everybody but Diaz

02:32:20.300 --> 02:32:23.080
We do expect him to be able to get the job done

02:32:23.080 --> 02:32:26.200
But you know when you have to play through the bottom bracket

02:32:26.200 --> 02:32:30.600
There's so many different chances for some magic to happen for an O soft to happen

02:32:30.600 --> 02:32:37.360
You know and a great day for one player that surprises you, but the crown has been passed so many times

02:32:37.400 --> 02:32:41.400
in 1v1 first killer held it for so long. Passed over to Daniel. It's interesting how

02:32:41.400 --> 02:32:47.400
he's a very consistent one's leader in North America over the ages. Diaz holds it now. So Diaz is that guy.

02:32:47.400 --> 02:32:53.400
His first killer. You serve him. He's got a few people in his back, but he's clearly feeling good as we get started

02:32:53.400 --> 02:32:57.400
in his game. Number three against Sablatoz.

02:32:57.400 --> 02:33:00.400
Oh, that's a bit of a wayward jump off the wall though by

02:33:00.400 --> 02:33:04.400
He's right back into control, though, and opening the scoring.

02:33:04.400 --> 02:33:11.400
It's fantastic, but I've seen the parskillers breathe awkwardness, look to capitalize,

02:33:11.400 --> 02:33:15.400
and sometimes it's just an accidental trap.

02:33:15.400 --> 02:33:19.400
I mean, you see that a lot, especially at once, a player will miss their touch,

02:33:19.400 --> 02:33:26.400
or they'll accidentally make a wrong move, and then it'll bait the opponent in.

02:33:26.400 --> 02:33:38.400
That mistake can... Oh, he saved there by the spines, I was like, yeah, that's a nice mistake to turn it to, and I played First Killer, he's missing the open net, he's got all the time in the world, so he's out by two, his spines are helplessly floating, I'll wait for that.

02:33:39.400 --> 02:33:52.400
Yeah, he made a good read to back the buff here, notice First Killer might be missing high, just a whole little panic right there, and that jump, it's just assuming that First Killer's gonna take a quick shot, so much more calm on the other side of the field from First Killer,

02:33:52.400 --> 02:33:59.400
They'll take advantage in those nervy situations by just keeping wits of attitude.

02:33:59.400 --> 02:34:02.400
And Spatos didn't have any goosy that doesn't help.

02:34:02.400 --> 02:34:03.400
Nice flick.

02:34:03.400 --> 02:34:04.400
Okay.

02:34:04.400 --> 02:34:05.400
Great flick.

02:34:05.400 --> 02:34:10.400
He pops the ball up and just gets like a catch right in the moment as he starts to send it with a sentio.

02:34:10.400 --> 02:34:11.400
Yeah, I was surprised.

02:34:11.400 --> 02:34:17.400
I thought you were going to try to shoot that, but the flick completely takes first killer out of the game.

02:34:17.400 --> 02:34:20.400
You know, shots from that range can be risky against first killer.

02:34:20.400 --> 02:34:28.960
If he does get saved, the counter attacks a lot more likely compared to that flick which took Zupatos away from the goal.

02:34:28.960 --> 02:34:33.200
He's trying to fake some challenges here. He actually does dispossess Froskiller with a big challenge.

02:34:33.200 --> 02:34:37.760
Now he's got chance to flick again. Very straight dribble though.

02:34:37.760 --> 02:34:44.760
Not that Zupatos can't generate the angle off these straight line dribbles, but you wonder would it be easier to get himself more than angles to work with.

02:34:44.760 --> 02:34:46.400
No Froskiller's been a fast in here.

02:34:46.400 --> 02:34:50.400
Sabato's fake challenge of nobun's land and it's 3-1 to the favorite.

02:34:50.400 --> 02:34:55.400
Yeah, and the reason why he does this is because he wants to close the distance on something to demo that I think he was going for.

02:34:55.400 --> 02:34:58.400
I think Sabato's had turned in and wanted to try and get First Killer.

02:34:58.400 --> 02:35:03.400
I thought at least he'd get a double demo, but I guess Sabato's not really fast enough, gets forced back, he gets to pick.

02:35:03.400 --> 02:35:09.400
He chooses to spawn on that side that First Killer's on and then try and dive in, but, you know, we've seen this in beautiful times.

02:35:09.400 --> 02:35:13.400
Very telegraphed challenges from Sabato's. He's just hoping they're going to work out.

02:35:13.400 --> 02:35:16.680
they're gonna work out. I don't know if you get away with faking in here and there.

02:35:16.680 --> 02:35:20.600
He's doing it from so far away. Those are always tough to make work.

02:35:20.600 --> 02:35:25.960
Now, Priskyler is trying to make this 16 boost work by staying on top of the ball.

02:35:25.960 --> 02:35:29.320
He didn't think of 100, but it's about those in control.

02:35:29.320 --> 02:35:32.240
Priskyler has always made sure to be right there. Every time some

02:35:32.240 --> 02:35:35.280
pathos looks like he might get the ball on top of his car, Priskyler stops him

02:35:35.280 --> 02:35:39.440
here at some moment with Priskyler. That's finally allowed him to, but still makes a save.

02:35:39.440 --> 02:35:45.440
Yeah, a bit of a hit station there from Zapatos, could've gone for the top corner but he was afraid to do that.

02:35:45.440 --> 02:35:51.440
With no boost available. Straighten him away for a more quicker chance so he's missed the ball.

02:35:51.440 --> 02:35:55.440
Huge miss by Zapatos, he's panicked and completely whiffed.

02:35:55.440 --> 02:35:59.440
Looking to get a maximum power after grabbing the boost.

02:35:59.440 --> 02:36:03.440
But he has totally misread that bounce and he's conceded.

02:36:03.440 --> 02:36:13.440
It's time now for Zabatos to shrug this off, I mean he took his time out, well this is

02:36:13.440 --> 02:36:18.840
totally a big part of his game, you know Zabatos is used to getting a few of these, let's see

02:36:18.840 --> 02:36:21.960
what the first killer did try and match him on the way back, which is not interesting

02:36:21.960 --> 02:36:26.720
because you'd expect that to favor Zabatos with somebody who has practiced it more often

02:36:26.720 --> 02:36:31.840
but actually like it has been first killers Zabatos, if you get a few of those going maybe

02:36:31.840 --> 02:36:35.560
you can stay in this game otherwise you need him to relax the shoulders and

02:36:35.560 --> 02:36:39.280
start just going for you know the extent of what he can do maybe you could put

02:36:39.280 --> 02:36:43.160
that here in the air to get something going but first killer gets him to go

02:36:43.160 --> 02:36:47.920
to the ground and then the box does not connect so he escapes again. It's going to be as a

02:36:47.920 --> 02:36:50.920
fast as ball though not the first touch he was looking for but the second touch

02:36:50.920 --> 02:36:55.080
is perfect he's adapted really well the early added opening but first killer's

02:36:55.080 --> 02:36:59.160
back now and he's gonna have enough space to save that shot like to the

02:36:59.160 --> 02:37:04.040
the fire from Spatos POV, the reset is stealing out the first killer on the counter,

02:37:04.040 --> 02:37:09.360
fix out the flick high, Spatos got a piece of it and actually gets the boost as well,

02:37:09.360 --> 02:37:12.480
this is excellent on the defensive end from Spatos.

02:37:12.480 --> 02:37:17.040
Oh, providing more resilience to that end but still having some problems with the serial

02:37:17.040 --> 02:37:18.040
box of wheels.

02:37:18.040 --> 02:37:25.560
You think he's been playing his entire career on this car, you should know how tall it is.

02:37:25.560 --> 02:37:29.960
But he gets scammed to buy that plant kit box now

02:37:31.000 --> 02:37:33.000
He's just feeling

02:37:33.040 --> 02:37:39.120
First killers, you know defensive presence at all times every time he's trying to get something going first killer is making sure

02:37:39.280 --> 02:37:41.660
There is no comfort. We'll see

02:37:42.320 --> 02:37:47.920
Spontos, you know, this is the whole my goodness the power out of that flick is not so good expecting

02:37:48.160 --> 02:37:50.160
We had spontos on the field

02:37:50.160 --> 02:37:55.620
How can he capitalize off the CS first killer backed off for one of the rare times they've been able to do that

02:37:55.620 --> 02:37:58.160
He's got first-killer dancing in the air late with me trying to go

02:37:58.960 --> 02:38:00.960
Worked out. I got him a goal

02:38:01.680 --> 02:38:03.680
Zepatoz putting the pressure on

02:38:04.200 --> 02:38:06.200
Starting to rack up shots as well

02:38:06.840 --> 02:38:11.420
Look at the delayed dodge here. He actually did get a piece of first killer there and even a first killer

02:38:11.800 --> 02:38:16.240
Went more for the ball that would just increase the likelihood of him getting buffed so

02:38:17.040 --> 02:38:20.060
Creativity on the show for Zepatoz. Oh, he's buffed first killer

02:38:20.160 --> 02:38:22.160
That's white open. He's tied it!

02:38:23.160 --> 02:38:29.160
First Killer is slipping here a little bit after dominating for multiple games.

02:38:29.160 --> 02:38:34.160
Sabato has found signs of life, and right now I would say to be in fact of them two kickoff goals

02:38:34.160 --> 02:38:37.160
that have allowed him to equalize First Killer.

02:38:37.160 --> 02:38:43.160
He needs this to go at least, you know, partially his way in order to try and take down a game.

02:38:43.160 --> 02:38:45.640
down a game, maybe get some momentum in the series.

02:38:45.640 --> 02:38:47.640
We're just going to make it 100 boosts at Demo Purskiller.

02:38:47.640 --> 02:38:51.440
So space with the final minute getting close to ticking down.

02:38:51.440 --> 02:38:53.400
Tepatos gets a carry that he loves so much.

02:38:53.400 --> 02:38:54.880
Purskiller's playing in.

02:38:54.880 --> 02:38:58.880
Can't Tepatos even put the ball on, but Purskiller demos him.

02:38:58.880 --> 02:39:00.520
Well, I think Tepatos could have been the one

02:39:00.520 --> 02:39:01.440
threatened in the demo there.

02:39:01.440 --> 02:39:02.440
He's made a bit of a mistake.

02:39:02.440 --> 02:39:06.880
Now Purskiller coming in, perfectly outblazing with the backflip

02:39:06.880 --> 02:39:10.480
and puts it in on the rebound automatically.

02:39:10.480 --> 02:39:12.760
Really, I think that could have been Tepatos's

02:39:12.760 --> 02:39:17.140
He was first in the area, he could have boxed out first killer got a little bit

02:39:17.140 --> 02:39:19.940
I think greedy got a bit rushed to go for the boost

02:39:21.340 --> 02:39:26.600
It's a perfect example of how this game is going to focus with space gets first killer backed off

02:39:26.720 --> 02:39:30.540
This is a tough time keeping the possession going but every time it's happened the opposite way

02:39:30.760 --> 02:39:35.000
First killer is making some boxes look silly by flicking it past them and having them go

02:39:35.480 --> 02:39:37.440
Storing past the place about those interesting

02:39:37.440 --> 02:39:43.000
It's a midfield to try and take away and yet first killer is still there to intercept it and get a double

02:39:43.760 --> 02:39:46.800
Yeah, it's too easy to pathos taking his time

02:39:46.800 --> 02:39:53.120
He wanted that box to stay closer to him, but he's popped it miles too high first killer with a ceiling interception

02:39:53.360 --> 02:40:01.040
And the rebound now is the pathos needs kickoff possession 37 seconds left trails by two and he is not gonna get this

02:40:01.040 --> 02:40:02.840
Not for free at least

02:40:02.840 --> 02:40:04.840
And it's just too awkward a position.

02:40:04.840 --> 02:40:05.840
Try it from the back wall.

02:40:05.840 --> 02:40:06.840
Demo nearly landed it.

02:40:06.840 --> 02:40:09.840
But first skill you should watch in and waits in the hallway here.

02:40:09.840 --> 02:40:14.840
Think you set good control of the position.

02:40:14.840 --> 02:40:18.840
It's so easy to think that Sabato's going to be one that kickoff right.

02:40:18.840 --> 02:40:19.840
He pushed it into the orange half.

02:40:19.840 --> 02:40:21.840
So certainly he's got it closer to net.

02:40:21.840 --> 02:40:26.840
But when it's awkward in that corner, so hard to find a way to shoot on an angle.

02:40:26.840 --> 02:40:27.840
It's going to take a ton of boost from you first.

02:40:27.840 --> 02:40:32.840
first go is to just kind of just sit and watch and wait to see if Sepatos could even get hitting on target.

02:40:32.840 --> 02:40:36.840
So really it is kind of advantage him from the very beginning and Sepatos just pan this one away.

02:40:36.840 --> 02:40:39.840
It seems like this Maldova first go is not even going to take it.

02:40:39.840 --> 02:40:44.840
So first killer, comfortable, giving him as many chances as possible to finish off this series.

02:40:44.840 --> 02:40:49.840
Sepatos was able to equalize but a three goal in a row finish for first killer,

02:40:49.840 --> 02:40:52.840
showing who's the better player here in this one.

02:40:52.840 --> 02:41:01.500
Yeah, a better game for his pathos, but it's just too little too late. It feels first killer winning two games by punishing the pathos

02:41:01.500 --> 02:41:08.400
for being over aggressive in defense. Now, his pathos raised the title back, the aggression on the touchstone for more fake challenges,

02:41:08.400 --> 02:41:12.400
which gave him more control of the series and gave him more possession.

02:41:12.400 --> 02:41:20.200
But now that it's mistakes, Wiley's in possession of the ball that across in the game. He's had some mis touches, some heavy first touches in the air.

02:41:20.200 --> 02:41:32.200
Um, even though he fought bravely here, he was, he was clinical once he got into the mid game, but later on for our scholars, too good, he's too consistent as a pathos has made some mistakes.

02:41:33.200 --> 02:41:36.200
The pathos doesn't look too terribly happy about his position.

02:41:37.200 --> 02:41:41.200
Unfortunately, tons to be happy about, although he did look best in that last game.

02:41:41.200 --> 02:41:46.200
If he was to get something going, he's got the matching water bottle, the linens, the everything he has got.

02:41:46.200 --> 02:41:53.840
It's funny because he's so colorful in game and yet he's got absolutely no color at all in his room even the AC as well

02:41:53.840 --> 02:41:55.840
He's got a lot of synergy there

02:41:56.240 --> 02:42:02.400
So that's that's good stuff. I mean particular is very very white room at some time

02:42:02.400 --> 02:42:09.240
So back in the day, I did think he was playing our LCS from a hospital lobby, but it's not as impact his bedroom

02:42:09.760 --> 02:42:11.760
It's just a very bright bedroom

02:42:12.440 --> 02:42:14.440
light on gaming

02:42:14.440 --> 02:42:17.640
It's something a lot of pros do.

02:42:17.640 --> 02:42:20.680
We do get some dark dungeon gamers as well though,

02:42:20.680 --> 02:42:22.760
so it seems to be a preference thing.

02:42:22.760 --> 02:42:26.040
First skill here at this, Katsos, what's the lights on?

02:42:28.080 --> 02:42:31.360
Well, the lights are shining brightest here in 1v1.

02:42:31.360 --> 02:42:33.360
In RLCS, on the mainstream,

02:42:33.360 --> 02:42:36.280
this is when all the 1v1ers wait for,

02:42:36.280 --> 02:42:38.280
to see if Zapatoz can get anything going,

02:42:38.280 --> 02:42:39.320
but he gets first possession,

02:42:39.320 --> 02:42:40.160
and it just doesn't matter.

02:42:40.160 --> 02:42:42.120
First kill the Rastaball, Zapatoz has the ball,

02:42:42.120 --> 02:42:42.960
doesn't matter who,

02:42:42.960 --> 02:42:44.960
I feel like it's going to be a first kill goal.

02:42:44.960 --> 02:42:49.960
It is not enough to threaten there's Fatos floating behind him all, but he didn't have a dodge.

02:42:49.960 --> 02:42:53.960
He's dodged a tight note, he didn't have a reset, or even the ability to get one.

02:42:53.960 --> 02:42:55.960
So first kill, he knew that there was nothing really to worry about.

02:42:55.960 --> 02:42:57.960
He just had to protect his near post.

02:42:57.960 --> 02:43:01.960
He's got to keep an eye on these kickoffs though. This is happening.

02:43:01.960 --> 02:43:05.960
Maybe with a slight increase in regularity.

02:43:05.960 --> 02:43:11.960
So Fatos just getting back to the ground faster after the wave dash recovery.

02:43:11.960 --> 02:43:16.840
just slightly quicker landed and this time he's out of position by FK but that really shows you how

02:43:16.840 --> 02:43:20.840
strong his great dash recovery kickoff is. He's able to push the bar skillar back for this.

02:43:21.640 --> 02:43:26.280
Bar skillar. So on the side of the weakness here as he tries to catch the ball and lose his

02:43:26.280 --> 02:43:30.360
rhythm immediately, lets the opponent challenge him, even then, of course to the right back where

02:43:30.360 --> 02:43:35.080
he wants to be with the ball on top of his car. Noble jump, bomb, big green when you try to open

02:43:35.080 --> 02:43:38.760
that far out. Usually you want to wait until you're closer and you're the defender since the last

02:43:38.760 --> 02:43:43.320
less time for the ball to separate from you in the car, but in a way, first killer maintains

02:43:43.320 --> 02:43:47.920
control, trying to do it through the air this time, big red by Savantos, and he may be able

02:43:47.920 --> 02:43:49.400
to drew this out.

02:43:49.400 --> 02:43:54.600
First killer's got so much momentum here to side, so just self-shop with the shadowed

02:43:54.600 --> 02:43:58.480
defense, and very aggressive isn't going to be able to escape, not Mary, but into the

02:43:58.480 --> 02:43:59.480
ceiling.

02:43:59.480 --> 02:44:04.520
Savantos unable to grab boost while all that was happening, so it is going to be first

02:44:04.520 --> 02:44:08.360
killer's ball again, low first touch, he's going to need to do a lot of work to get this

02:44:08.360 --> 02:44:10.880
He's up and over to Patos, can't do so.

02:44:10.880 --> 02:44:14.560
Patos running away from the follow through bump as well.

02:44:14.560 --> 02:44:16.560
It looks like it's more of the same for game two

02:44:16.560 --> 02:44:19.640
for Patos, he's gonna play a more reactive defense,

02:44:19.640 --> 02:44:22.680
but first killer's still able to get fast in.

02:44:22.680 --> 02:44:25.000
Even when it's a Patos, he's being careful.

02:44:25.000 --> 02:44:28.800
First killer is simply too effective with the timing.

02:44:28.800 --> 02:44:31.200
Look at that, he's as soon as Patos picks up there.

02:44:33.200 --> 02:44:36.400
Patos has played many opponents in once

02:44:36.400 --> 02:44:40.560
course of his career and he is currently in a lobby against maybe the one who beats him

02:44:40.560 --> 02:44:43.920
this consistently. So if Zapatos looks silly right now, why are you diving for all these

02:44:43.920 --> 02:44:47.920
balls Zapatos will? In all of his practice, I bet he's beating players to the ball. I bet

02:44:47.920 --> 02:44:51.280
he's actually doing at least getting fifties there. Right now he's been getting clean beat

02:44:51.280 --> 02:44:56.720
by First Killer in all of these races. First Killer is showing another level here on the biggest

02:44:56.720 --> 02:45:01.520
stage and actually, Zapatos will likely miss and he wants to be around for the finish.

02:45:01.520 --> 02:45:04.520
Yeah, it's an awkward position for Zepatos.

02:45:04.520 --> 02:45:06.520
You had time to think about this one.

02:45:06.520 --> 02:45:08.520
He's worried that Pruskyler is up for a reband,

02:45:08.520 --> 02:45:12.520
but Pruskyler did jump just to make out Zepatos with the sound cue there.

02:45:12.520 --> 02:45:15.520
Most of these players do play with team sound on,

02:45:15.520 --> 02:45:21.520
just quiet amount of game sound so they can listen to the noise cues of their opponent's jumping.

02:45:21.520 --> 02:45:24.520
So that can just cause Zepatos to panic Pruskyler.

02:45:24.520 --> 02:45:27.520
And FI2 huge flick by Zepatos with Pruskyler,

02:45:27.520 --> 02:45:30.480
The partiality is respecting it staying deep in the shadow position

02:45:30.920 --> 02:45:36.120
And it's not only getting anything else out of it. He's immediately pushed back and he's getting buffed by first killer

02:45:36.120 --> 02:45:39.520
He's not lost and originally it started with spazos, but the spazos were

02:45:40.440 --> 02:45:46.900
improvising there to even get back on the ball, but the killer pretty much getting control forced back to the corner

02:45:47.800 --> 02:45:50.560
I expect a little bit of a fumble there, but he's gonna be just fine

02:45:51.160 --> 02:45:56.680
We'll knock off the ceiling. You see spazos in the air, spazos chain-dashing his way back to try and mix it up

02:45:56.680 --> 02:45:58.280
but first gonna read that as well.

02:45:59.280 --> 02:46:02.880
Yeah, Spatos is just trying to sneak in at times,

02:46:02.880 --> 02:46:05.280
but even there, Farskiller sees it coming.

02:46:05.280 --> 02:46:09.480
Spatos, I think maybe part of the artist

02:46:09.480 --> 02:46:11.080
of his own demise there.

02:46:11.080 --> 02:46:13.080
I hit in the ball and he gave it more pace in the counter

02:46:13.080 --> 02:46:14.880
from Farskiller to work with.

02:46:14.880 --> 02:46:16.080
Oh, that was a chance.

02:46:16.080 --> 02:46:18.280
Spatos, he's gonna turn on it, but...

02:46:18.280 --> 02:46:22.280
Yeah, he's hit the bar with his flip cancel shot.

02:46:22.280 --> 02:46:24.880
Doesn't add any power, just makes the recovery look cool.

02:46:24.880 --> 02:46:27.880
I'm sure the freestyle committee would disagree.

02:46:29.880 --> 02:46:31.880
Our skiller gonna dunk this right off.

02:46:31.880 --> 02:46:33.880
Seems like Tepatos, you know, has been conditioned.

02:46:33.880 --> 02:46:35.880
Oh my goodness!

02:46:35.880 --> 02:46:37.880
First killer! This was not a free goal.

02:46:37.880 --> 02:46:39.880
Tepatos was on his way back.

02:46:39.880 --> 02:46:41.880
First killer on the wrong side of the ball.

02:46:41.880 --> 02:46:45.880
Flips out underneath and gets the perfect touch to drop it in.

02:46:45.880 --> 02:46:48.880
Gosh, he scored this in a close touch by first killer.

02:46:48.880 --> 02:46:52.880
5-1. We're talking about a guy who can hit the ball as hard as he wants whenever he wants.

02:46:52.880 --> 02:46:54.880
He's got the finesse as well.

02:46:54.880 --> 02:46:56.880
He's just got full control.

02:46:56.880 --> 02:47:00.880
And Zapatos is going to get a move onto your first goalie spot in your post.

02:47:00.880 --> 02:47:01.880
Another buff lands.

02:47:01.880 --> 02:47:05.880
Zapatos wanted to run the lobos on the wind there,

02:47:05.880 --> 02:47:07.880
slow rolling him by about half a second,

02:47:07.880 --> 02:47:10.880
even though he needs every second he can get.

02:47:10.880 --> 02:47:13.880
And it's a signature move to catch back up.

02:47:13.880 --> 02:47:16.880
It's the wave dash on the landing from Zapatos.

02:47:16.880 --> 02:47:19.880
In order to get back to all,

02:47:19.880 --> 02:47:21.440
at least he has the showdown.

02:47:22.440 --> 02:47:24.880
Now, he's just going to smash it so much

02:47:24.880 --> 02:47:27.200
it's way more than ever the Wave Dash kickoff.

02:47:27.200 --> 02:47:29.160
Oh, killer here with some speed.

02:47:29.160 --> 02:47:30.000
Can he get back to it?

02:47:30.000 --> 02:47:31.960
Follow-up, he's just fairly out.

02:47:31.960 --> 02:47:34.040
And that is the story right now for Spazza,

02:47:34.040 --> 02:47:36.920
even when he seems to get something going his way.

02:47:36.920 --> 02:47:37.880
He's never quite done it,

02:47:37.880 --> 02:47:41.160
but he does get this cool great power shot top right.

02:47:41.160 --> 02:47:42.880
Yeah, just kind of surprising.

02:47:42.880 --> 02:47:43.880
First killer of this one.

02:47:43.880 --> 02:47:46.280
First killer was looking to move forward

02:47:46.280 --> 02:47:47.880
and contest the next touch.

02:47:47.880 --> 02:47:53.320
Patos, she shoots again and eventually points it back in the neck. He's stuck into,

02:47:53.880 --> 02:47:57.480
floats away back into this one and that's slowly on target. First killer might begin

02:47:57.480 --> 02:48:01.800
to end here. Patos instead playing for the boost after faking the demo, make the trip up

02:48:01.800 --> 02:48:07.720
first killer not once but twice. That was him. Oh he has Devoldo Zapatos! He is absolutely beaten!

02:48:09.000 --> 02:48:14.360
He's laughing about it on the camera but this is a tough play from him. He did all the hard work

02:48:14.360 --> 02:48:19.880
getting first killer off the map and he clips so far away too not only did he miss it I thought he

02:48:19.880 --> 02:48:23.880
could get back around but not when he flips himself that far away from the ball.

02:48:24.760 --> 02:48:29.960
Cool of this. More sublantos. These are the kind of bounces and things that absolutely have to go

02:48:29.960 --> 02:48:35.240
away. In fact a decent shot attempt but it's not going to go in. It's going to be the first killer

02:48:35.240 --> 02:48:38.760
who's going to try and clip back the other way past himself off the ceiling sublantos around to

02:48:38.760 --> 02:48:43.720
save it. And got a great shot early close so he should have a counter. Yeah first killer all in

02:48:43.720 --> 02:48:51.060
there. Something we've not seen a lot today. And Zapatos this time does not mistake the

02:48:51.060 --> 02:48:55.920
open net. He's been winning a lot of the kickoff recently here. He's actually chaining

02:48:55.920 --> 02:48:59.360
together quite a few kickoff possessions. And he's going to get another one here. He's

02:48:59.360 --> 02:49:04.120
going to get right on Berskiller. Demo's him. Berskiller is going to spawn near post

02:49:04.120 --> 02:49:10.120
and try to cover it by chance. Zapatos really put in some momentum on the board with kickoff

02:49:10.120 --> 02:49:12.120
He went at strong possession.

02:49:12.120 --> 02:49:14.120
Yeah, Zapatos.

02:49:14.120 --> 02:49:20.120
He probably needed this a little bit earlier, as opposed to 50 seconds before his tournament run would be over.

02:49:20.120 --> 02:49:26.120
But, it's better late than never. He is still alive in this game and in this series.

02:49:26.120 --> 02:49:30.120
He just had to do one of the toughest things he could ever do.

02:49:30.120 --> 02:49:32.120
First sweep, first killer.

02:49:32.120 --> 02:49:34.120
First killer.

02:49:34.120 --> 02:49:38.120
Getting the best shots ever here. Zapatos is going to back it up and get to one of his bigger positions.

02:49:38.120 --> 02:49:41.380
ability to use a sensual flick and he launches ass first killer tries to move

02:49:41.380 --> 02:49:46.860
in first killer hits a couple touches in a row but normally this is one of the

02:49:46.860 --> 02:49:50.980
favour of the other person but first killer manages to stay in control every

02:49:50.980 --> 02:49:59.140
time. Oh no way, well I got Spantos. Oh, he's got Spantos. Oh, he's got Spantos!

02:49:59.140 --> 02:50:05.180
Spantos wins with the first gold move I've ever seen. He just stops him all the

02:50:05.180 --> 02:50:09.340
goal and it's Pantos. He can't be bothered. He says, all right, Mike, you win.

02:50:12.340 --> 02:50:16.540
You're going to come in an open line, but that actually reduced the volatility of the match.

02:50:16.540 --> 02:50:19.620
You know, put back to the center circle against Pantos, 20 seconds left.

02:50:19.620 --> 02:50:21.260
Two goals up, you can lose from there.

02:50:21.260 --> 02:50:24.020
But stop with the ball, the goal line removes all night.

02:50:24.140 --> 02:50:26.940
The GG is first skill air into the top six.

02:50:27.940 --> 02:50:32.140
But for first killer, one that game or one that series was every other moment.

02:50:32.140 --> 02:50:35.740
If there was a different context to how we got to this game for,

02:50:35.740 --> 02:50:37.620
Zapatoz doesn't just let first killer have it,

02:50:37.620 --> 02:50:41.220
but he has just stopped from beginning to end of the entire series.

02:50:41.220 --> 02:50:43.500
So he stops it on the goal line and Zapatoz says,

02:50:43.500 --> 02:50:46.300
you know what, considering how the rest of this game has gone,

02:50:46.300 --> 02:50:48.900
his last 15 seconds probably not going to go much different either,

02:50:48.900 --> 02:50:49.740
just let them have it.

02:50:49.740 --> 02:50:52.780
But that's something you're only ever going to see in one.

02:50:52.780 --> 02:50:54.860
I don't think you're going to see any stopping on the goal line

02:50:54.860 --> 02:50:57.900
and basically really giving up in any other mode.

02:50:57.900 --> 02:50:58.820
Yeah.

02:50:58.820 --> 02:51:02.820
It's, it's sort of, I don't know, it's just a refusal to participate.

02:51:02.820 --> 02:51:04.820
Battle's saying, you know, I will not come back.

02:51:04.820 --> 02:51:07.140
I know you're telling me to, I'm going to refuse.

02:51:07.140 --> 02:51:08.980
It's a little mental, but he's saying no.

02:51:08.980 --> 02:51:13.060
I will not do what I'm told, but in exchange he does lose the match.

02:51:13.060 --> 02:51:16.660
But I think first killer, like you said, it seemed like he was going to win at some point.

02:51:17.780 --> 02:51:18.980
Yeah, there's no question.

02:51:18.980 --> 02:51:22.980
First killer is, he used to be the one to beat Diaz is now,

02:51:22.980 --> 02:51:26.660
but first killer is showing that maybe he can be the one to take the title back.

02:51:26.660 --> 02:51:27.660
We've got more.

02:51:27.660 --> 02:51:28.660
Oh, see us when we do one.

02:51:28.660 --> 02:51:29.660
Coming up next.

02:51:29.660 --> 02:51:34.380
OK, the plumber is fixing that burst pipe.

02:51:34.380 --> 02:51:35.380
It should be all set.

02:51:35.380 --> 02:51:37.500
Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto

02:51:37.500 --> 02:51:38.820
level from Progressive.

02:51:38.820 --> 02:51:39.820
Oh, I'm sorry.

02:51:39.820 --> 02:51:42.660
I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about these.

02:51:42.660 --> 02:51:45.180
Maybe something like, I have protection, just need a lifeguard.

02:51:45.180 --> 02:51:47.380
What about that emoji with a shocked face?

02:51:47.380 --> 02:51:49.500
Or maybe flooded with emotion.

02:51:49.500 --> 02:51:50.500
That's too much.

02:51:50.500 --> 02:51:52.380
Try, uh, Tuesdays are crazy.

02:51:52.380 --> 02:51:55.380
You know, technically, you don't have to post everything that happens online.

02:51:55.380 --> 02:52:02.380
I totally believe you. Life is meaningless without affirmation. Am I right?

02:52:25.380 --> 02:52:27.380
Hey

02:54:25.380 --> 02:54:31.380
Part of the magic of Rocket League is the stories you can tell about.

02:54:31.380 --> 02:54:35.380
The zero-second buzzer beers that it saves, the underdog victories.

02:54:35.380 --> 02:54:36.380
It's all there.

02:54:36.380 --> 02:54:42.380
As we return to this legendary arena, we'll witness Rocket League's story unfold together.

02:54:42.380 --> 02:54:46.380
We will hang their team's banners in the Rafter's Champions field.

02:54:46.380 --> 02:54:48.380
Start to find out.

02:55:25.380 --> 02:55:27.380
I

02:58:55.380 --> 02:58:57.380
The sun

02:58:57.380 --> 02:58:59.380
The hand of fate

02:58:59.380 --> 02:59:02.380
From your life's intertwined

02:59:02.380 --> 02:59:04.380
The radar gives rust

02:59:04.380 --> 02:59:06.380
The heart's wide

02:59:06.380 --> 02:59:12.380
The tears from our misty eyes

02:59:12.380 --> 02:59:15.380
In a world unkind

02:59:15.380 --> 02:59:17.380
With lovely eyes

02:59:17.380 --> 02:59:19.380
Holding hands

02:59:19.380 --> 02:59:20.380
Next to a spot

02:59:20.380 --> 02:59:23.380
At a bottomed hill

02:59:23.380 --> 02:59:25.380
We stand on the line,

02:59:25.380 --> 02:59:28.380
Sworn to be losers for life.

02:59:28.380 --> 02:59:31.380
With this stand we won't hide,

02:59:31.380 --> 02:59:34.380
We stand on the line.

02:59:34.380 --> 02:59:36.380
I guess I'll miss this,

02:59:36.380 --> 02:59:39.380
And I guess I'll watch now.

02:59:39.380 --> 02:59:42.380
I guess I'll open my eyes,

02:59:42.380 --> 02:59:45.380
And I guess I'll hold on.

02:59:45.380 --> 02:59:47.380
Facing the mirror,

02:59:47.380 --> 02:59:50.380
I'm afraid of anything.

02:59:50.380 --> 03:00:06.740
Man, Zapatos gave it the best effort, the chat wanted it, and yet we're still sitting

03:00:06.740 --> 03:00:11.020
here wondering what could have been, because first killer happened again, folks.

03:00:11.020 --> 03:00:13.940
Four up, four down, didn't have a problem on the road.

03:00:13.940 --> 03:00:17.540
Back to the grand finals, can't even make it there, I'm going by first killer now, congratulations

03:00:17.540 --> 03:00:19.580
sir on the win.

03:00:19.580 --> 03:00:25.100
make it look easy. Is it? Is that easy? Like how much? How much effort did it take to get that four up?

03:00:26.540 --> 03:00:31.820
Um, not that not that much. I feel like I have as a person like I've really struggled with never.

03:00:31.820 --> 03:00:37.740
So it was just kind of free for me. Is it like a is it a matchup thing? You feel like it's a

03:00:37.740 --> 03:00:40.860
scale. I don't want to sit here and like dog on Zapatos. Obviously he's a very, very skilled

03:00:40.860 --> 03:00:45.740
competitor. But like what is it about this matchup that you feel like is so easy for you?

03:00:45.740 --> 03:00:54.140
I think he like he thrives when you give him space and I'm like a player that doesn't really like to give space like I

03:00:54.140 --> 03:00:58.700
try to just like be in your face all the time and just like you know like just pressure you like so much

03:00:59.260 --> 03:01:03.020
so I think he struggles with that a lot so I think it's really just a match-up thing because I think he is a good player

03:01:03.020 --> 03:01:08.460
like if you watch him playing it's on any other player like he like has a crazy shots and like controls the game and like he does well

03:01:08.860 --> 03:01:10.860
so yeah I think it's just a match-up thing

03:01:10.860 --> 03:01:15.140
I feel like that's a statement that's true about Yuga's a lot of competitors, they're

03:01:15.140 --> 03:01:19.100
really good against anyone above me, like you're so good out here sir, and like how

03:01:19.100 --> 03:01:22.100
do you, you've been around, we've been talking a lot about AJ, like how big of a story is

03:01:22.100 --> 03:01:25.460
that AJ's here, cause like he's been competing for so long, but like I was just looking at

03:01:25.460 --> 03:01:28.660
your liquopedia to refresh my memory, make sure that I was right, like you've been competing

03:01:28.660 --> 03:01:32.220
in Rockwell since 2017, you've been here about as long as he has, like you've seen

03:01:32.220 --> 03:01:37.860
RLCS evolve from a scene that was just league play and 3v3s to now having 3v3s, 2v2s and

03:01:37.860 --> 03:01:40.420
1v1s, you're competitive in all three of them.

03:01:40.420 --> 03:01:44.180
How do you balance preparing for three different game modes like this?

03:01:45.620 --> 03:01:48.220
Um, I don't do anything special to me.

03:01:48.220 --> 03:01:51.940
And I said, I just play like rank twos and free play and then like just scrims.

03:01:51.940 --> 03:01:52.380
And that's it.

03:01:52.380 --> 03:01:55.660
I don't really, I didn't really touch ones before this, but just probably not

03:01:55.660 --> 03:01:58.180
the greatest, but I think, I think I'll be okay.

03:01:59.180 --> 03:02:03.260
Oh, it's incredible that you're still this dominant with that level of preparation.

03:02:03.260 --> 03:02:07.300
I was curious as I was watching the games and like, uh, obviously at high level

03:02:07.300 --> 03:02:12.660
one's you guys do if you're playing in ranked you skip replays right like no one sits there and watches any replays is it

03:02:13.220 --> 03:02:18.540
Adjustment when you come into the games that are on broadcast and they're like a tilting goal happens

03:02:18.540 --> 03:02:23.740
But the broadcast forces you to watch the replay is that a thing you have to like deal with like why are we watching this one again?

03:02:25.260 --> 03:02:28.140
Honestly, I thought it would maybe be like that for me

03:02:28.140 --> 03:02:32.140
It's like if I if I like mess up and I give like a terrible goal and like I watch it back

03:02:32.140 --> 03:02:36.120
I can like think about what I need to do if that happens again like I can just fix my mistake

03:02:36.120 --> 03:02:39.800
So I honestly think it like helps me and it helps me like get rid of my like till

03:02:41.080 --> 03:02:45.560
That's that's incredible. You're like watching your own tape live during the match during the adjustment

03:02:45.560 --> 03:02:48.240
It's pretty cool. Well, sir. I don't want to take any more your time

03:02:48.240 --> 03:02:52.280
I know you got other stuff to get to and you're through to championship Sunday last question

03:02:52.280 --> 03:02:54.600
Hey, Davey and Evo coming up next who you think's got it. I

03:02:55.200 --> 03:02:57.200
Like even was gonna for a

03:02:58.080 --> 03:03:04.560
Evo the floor. Oh, no, don't do it to him. Hey, sir. Congratulations on the victory. See you tomorrow for championship Sunday. Thank you

03:03:06.120 --> 03:03:11.120
Alrighty, he says Evo's got a 4-0, AJ might have other things to say about it, but I don't know!

03:03:11.120 --> 03:03:15.120
FK knows a thing or two about 4-0 in here, fear. That was a pretty dominant win.

03:03:15.120 --> 03:03:20.120
Yeah, that's true. If anybody knows how to make light work of an opponent, first killer did that.

03:03:20.120 --> 03:03:25.120
And we noticed, you know, I saw exactly what he was talking about in terms of never giving Sopontos space.

03:03:25.120 --> 03:03:29.120
He likes to chase down and just make sure the opponent never gets comfortable.

03:03:29.120 --> 03:03:34.120
You can see Sopontos didn't. He was able to go for a couple of his flicks maybe throughout the series,

03:03:34.120 --> 03:03:40.600
but first killer he can sure everything went his way and it did from beginning to end timeout did nothing to stop it

03:03:40.600 --> 03:03:44.340
Got into game three more the same and then into game four. It was all stroke

03:03:47.120 --> 03:03:53.840
Yeah, I think at the same time though, I think even though the plot those tournaments over no shame in the losing the first killer first killer

03:03:53.840 --> 03:03:58.760
I think has a great chance at even representing North America. We'll see if he can take down Diaz

03:03:58.760 --> 03:04:01.000
That is what I fully expect to be

03:04:01.000 --> 03:04:03.000
the first killer is going to be

03:04:03.000 --> 03:04:05.000
the representative for North

03:04:05.000 --> 03:04:07.000
America. Diaz has been the top

03:04:07.000 --> 03:04:09.000
dog, but first killer, he looks

03:04:09.000 --> 03:04:11.000
like he's in for me. He said

03:04:11.000 --> 03:04:12.000
he's not really preparing much

03:04:12.000 --> 03:04:13.000
or practicing much for this,

03:04:13.000 --> 03:04:14.000
but I guess it doesn't matter

03:04:14.000 --> 03:04:15.000
when you're first killer. I

03:04:15.000 --> 03:04:17.000
mean, he has. He has prepared

03:04:17.000 --> 03:04:19.000
his entire career here fear. This

03:04:19.000 --> 03:04:21.000
is a game. Oh, he has taken very,

03:04:21.000 --> 03:04:22.000
very seriously. There is a

03:04:22.000 --> 03:04:23.000
certain degree of writing a

03:04:23.000 --> 03:04:25.000
writing a bike, you know, with

03:04:25.000 --> 03:04:26.000
this sort of stuff. But I mean,

03:04:26.000 --> 03:04:27.000
also, like I said, he's a

03:04:27.000 --> 03:04:29.000
player. He's a player. He's a

03:04:29.000 --> 03:04:30.000
player. He's a player. He's a

03:04:30.000 --> 03:04:32.880
I mean, also, like, the scene changes, right?

03:04:32.880 --> 03:04:36.240
Like, the way the meta at the top level changes,

03:04:36.240 --> 03:04:38.440
it sounds like it seems like maybe playing ranked

03:04:38.440 --> 03:04:40.160
in one's is enough preparation.

03:04:40.160 --> 03:04:41.680
I don't know, what do you think about that?

03:04:41.680 --> 03:04:44.880
Yeah, I think that First Killer has stayed in it.

03:04:44.880 --> 03:04:46.600
For a while, he took a long time off.

03:04:46.600 --> 03:04:49.160
This is before all CS became 1v1,

03:04:49.160 --> 03:04:50.560
or having any 1v1 portion.

03:04:50.560 --> 03:04:52.240
Since it's been back, First Killer, you know,

03:04:52.240 --> 03:04:55.200
he says he doesn't play a ton, but he is keeping it fresh.

03:04:55.200 --> 03:04:56.480
He is playing a tournament here or there,

03:04:56.480 --> 03:04:58.000
maybe a community tournament, something.

03:04:58.000 --> 03:04:59.800
He will compete in that, and that's it.

03:04:59.800 --> 03:05:02.600
That's all you really need is a little bit of a reminder how the meta is moving.

03:05:02.800 --> 03:05:05.120
And then when you're first killer, he doesn't need much else.

03:05:05.120 --> 03:05:08.440
So if you stay completely out of the scene, you know, totally for a long time,

03:05:08.440 --> 03:05:09.120
it can be a problem.

03:05:09.320 --> 03:05:12.200
First killer dabbles frequently enough to make sure he's up to date.

03:05:13.360 --> 03:05:16.240
Well, we'll keep an eye on first killer tomorrow as he will.

03:05:16.240 --> 03:05:19.000
It could be one of our first matches there in that lower bracket.

03:05:19.000 --> 03:05:21.840
We are not the only bracket playing out at the moment, though.

03:05:22.080 --> 03:05:24.120
The Middle East, North Africa has their bracket playing out.

03:05:24.120 --> 03:05:25.600
It is TRK versus NUS.

03:05:25.600 --> 03:05:28.600
We were showing during the break plate right now, TRK did take game number one,

03:05:28.600 --> 03:05:30.720
Game number two right now, 50 seconds left.

03:05:30.720 --> 03:05:32.120
They are tied up seven to seven.

03:05:32.120 --> 03:05:35.520
That bracket is staying spicy.

03:05:35.520 --> 03:05:36.560
We're gonna take a look at it here.

03:05:36.560 --> 03:05:39.320
It's live across a number of channels

03:05:39.320 --> 03:05:40.960
in the Rocket League directory.

03:05:40.960 --> 03:05:42.880
And I'll look at that, and I was taking one.

03:05:42.880 --> 03:05:45.720
This is live, live gameplay.

03:05:47.400 --> 03:05:48.960
Yeah, this is just gonna be, you know,

03:05:48.960 --> 03:05:50.200
it's gonna be cinema no matter what.

03:05:50.200 --> 03:05:52.520
All these grand finals just are amazing.

03:05:52.520 --> 03:05:54.760
We saw NA's grand final maybe, you know,

03:05:54.760 --> 03:05:56.560
being a little bit one-sided for Diaz.

03:05:56.560 --> 03:05:58.440
And Nupo is trying to pretend like that's

03:05:58.440 --> 03:06:01.960
happen again but both these guys could give him a good fight no matter which one is the one that

03:06:01.960 --> 03:06:07.880
ends up playing him. TRK didn't give him the best you know ever go for it in the upper bracket but

03:06:07.880 --> 03:06:12.600
it's all different when it's a grand final. That is the meanest greatest of all time right there in

03:06:12.600 --> 03:06:18.680
TRK and you do not want to see him in a grand final no matter what mode it is. And Nobu has been

03:06:18.680 --> 03:06:24.600
making easy work of the competition so far today as he walked through I think he's lost maybe like

03:06:24.600 --> 03:06:28.280
one game so far in the tournament or he lost one to Nush in swiss I remember you telling me during

03:06:28.280 --> 03:06:30.820
in the break there, but he's there through the grand finals.

03:06:30.820 --> 03:06:33.880
Will it be a TRK mobile rematch in the grand finals?

03:06:33.880 --> 03:06:37.100
We're about to find out as TRK did score with five seconds

03:06:37.100 --> 03:06:38.860
left, by the way, definitely go pull that one up.

03:06:38.860 --> 03:06:43.140
I got twitch.tv slash willy v w one LL Y V a great channel

03:06:43.140 --> 03:06:45.420
to go pull up if you want to watch the coverage

03:06:45.420 --> 03:06:47.020
and we'll be covering the grand finals there.

03:06:47.020 --> 03:06:48.660
After the conclusion of our next two matches,

03:06:48.660 --> 03:06:51.260
let's get into it folks back over here to North America.

03:06:51.260 --> 03:06:53.580
Wavy and first killer have made it out of those lower quarter

03:06:53.580 --> 03:06:57.020
finals. It is now elimination matches for them

03:06:57.020 --> 03:07:02.140
Moving forward there for the top teams. They do have two lives two players about to lose that second life

03:07:02.140 --> 03:07:04.940
Zach and Diaz gonna be our last match of the day

03:07:04.940 --> 03:07:08.980
We'll save that SSG the SSG matchup for them

03:07:08.980 --> 03:07:15.540
But let's get into our next matchup Genji mobile one racing and if you have an Evo here taking on AJ

03:07:15.540 --> 03:07:19.700
We were talking I was just talking to first killer about AJ and he really does feel like AJ

03:07:19.700 --> 03:07:22.460
He's probably gonna hit the wall with Evo

03:07:22.460 --> 03:07:27.340
But I don't know man. There's just something about this gamer James bot just will not go away

03:07:27.340 --> 03:07:29.420
I don't know if you're asking the right guy

03:07:29.420 --> 03:07:34.500
I got a lot confident to evo here as well. I think you know evo

03:07:35.460 --> 03:07:38.700
Especially when there's a little bit less pressure on the line

03:07:38.700 --> 03:07:44.220
I think that's gonna also play in the favor of evo here the fact that this is not an elimination tournament

03:07:44.220 --> 03:07:46.380
You'll see him freed up to take a few more risks

03:07:46.620 --> 03:07:52.420
But evo he is he's just a force man. You just look at his max you look at what he's able to do

03:07:52.460 --> 03:07:59.060
But on the other side, you know, AJ, he's been around for a while.

03:07:59.060 --> 03:08:04.720
He continues to show that he is a top level 1v1 player, and it's, you know, he's got

03:08:04.720 --> 03:08:08.880
all the tools in his toolkit to take down Ebo, but he is, he is the peer underdog.

03:08:11.880 --> 03:08:15.920
I mean, this is the match that's been played so many different times.

03:08:15.920 --> 03:08:18.320
We're about to see it played maybe for the first time in RLCS.

03:08:18.320 --> 03:08:22.280
I'm not sure if they matched up against each other last time in the bracket, but

03:08:22.280 --> 03:08:25.400
But these guys have been at the top of North America.

03:08:25.400 --> 03:08:29.960
There has got to be a mental battle in terms of how the thousands of 1v1s they've played

03:08:29.960 --> 03:08:33.200
before, whether they're in ranked or in show matches or tournaments, you know, these guys

03:08:33.200 --> 03:08:34.560
have held it down at the top.

03:08:34.560 --> 03:08:39.560
This is going to be the 102nd iteration of AJ versus Evo, I imagine.

03:08:39.560 --> 03:08:43.000
The reason why, and every time they've played in the past, it's been very close, and you

03:08:43.000 --> 03:08:45.320
wouldn't really know who would win this.

03:08:45.320 --> 03:08:48.520
The reason why first killer favors Evo though is because AJ has retired.

03:08:48.520 --> 03:08:54.360
He's retired, you know, a long time ago, and Deerey shouldn't be still competing at the highest level,

03:08:54.360 --> 03:08:57.160
but has proven that he still has those moves in once.

03:08:57.160 --> 03:09:02.520
The question is, is he back to the form that he was at when he was competing with Evo over the course of many years

03:09:02.520 --> 03:09:11.160
and still locked into the game, or has Evo's, you know, more frequent, recent experience, you know, going to take the advantage?

03:09:12.840 --> 03:09:18.200
Well, I know you think it's going to win. I'm curious to see how many fans show up for AJ here,

03:09:18.200 --> 03:09:21.240
Because, well, he has been around the Parle CS for a long time.

03:09:21.240 --> 03:09:23.160
Evo's been pretty popular as well.

03:09:23.160 --> 03:09:26.080
Gen. G's gotten a lot of fans over the last few years.

03:09:26.080 --> 03:09:27.880
So we'll make our picks as well.

03:09:27.880 --> 03:09:29.800
I will say TRK did that.

03:09:29.800 --> 03:09:31.000
The game two went to overtime.

03:09:31.000 --> 03:09:32.360
TRK managed to find the wins.

03:09:32.360 --> 03:09:34.600
Now he's up 2-0 over Nush.

03:09:34.600 --> 03:09:36.160
So we'll get into it.

03:09:36.160 --> 03:09:38.520
We'll show again that grand final coming up a little bit

03:09:38.520 --> 03:09:40.880
later on.

03:09:40.880 --> 03:09:43.000
I already know what James Fawcett is going to pick your fear.

03:09:43.000 --> 03:09:45.240
Are you going with Evo as well?

03:09:45.240 --> 03:09:47.480
I said historically, back and forth,

03:09:47.480 --> 03:09:49.200
You can go either way, A.J. might even,

03:09:49.200 --> 03:09:52.560
you can convince me that A.J. has a career-long edge over Evo.

03:09:52.560 --> 03:09:54.320
But right now, Evo's still on his game.

03:09:54.320 --> 03:09:56.000
He's still competing with the best of the best.

03:09:56.000 --> 03:09:58.400
You gotta expect Evo to be able to take down

03:09:58.400 --> 03:10:00.000
the retired old man in A.J.

03:10:00.000 --> 03:10:03.080
So yeah, I think I'm also going with Evo.

03:10:03.080 --> 03:10:04.840
Alrighty, James.

03:10:04.840 --> 03:10:09.840
I don't know if I'd go as far as to call A.J. a retired old man,

03:10:10.960 --> 03:10:12.160
but he's a retired gamer.

03:10:12.160 --> 03:10:14.040
So, you know, I'm gonna have to go with here on this one.

03:10:14.040 --> 03:10:15.360
Give me Evo.

03:10:15.360 --> 03:10:16.200
Okay, okay.

03:10:16.200 --> 03:10:19.320
I want I want to believe so much. This is the match

03:10:19.320 --> 03:10:24.460
I'm most excited to watch today just because of the stories and I mean if we get through this one

03:10:24.460 --> 03:10:25.720
I think it's evo

03:10:25.720 --> 03:10:31.680
Versus wavy. I think is is the matchup tomorrow, which should be an exciting one too, but I or if

03:10:32.240 --> 03:10:36.800
If no, it'd be AJ versus it'll be evo versus if AJ wins. That's how that works

03:10:36.800 --> 03:10:38.600
It'll be a because I did this is enough a break a match up

03:10:38.600 --> 03:10:42.640
So there's their stay in a life here, but I do think I do think people will take this one

03:10:42.640 --> 03:10:45.920
This is what I'm going to stumble my way to say here at the end.

03:10:45.920 --> 03:10:48.400
It does have the strong edge at the moment.

03:10:48.400 --> 03:10:49.920
History is fun.

03:10:49.920 --> 03:10:51.280
Long win streaks are fun.

03:10:51.280 --> 03:10:53.440
Game play in the moment is what matters here.

03:10:53.440 --> 03:10:54.480
Evo is the clear favorite.

03:10:54.480 --> 03:10:56.480
And is there a stylistic matchup?

03:10:56.480 --> 03:10:58.320
We were talking with FK about stylistic matchups

03:10:58.320 --> 03:10:59.920
between him and Zap there.

03:10:59.920 --> 03:11:02.240
Peter, do you feel like Evo has a style matchup here?

03:11:02.240 --> 03:11:04.560
Or is it just a general kind of all stats

03:11:04.560 --> 03:11:06.640
are just a level higher for Asia?

03:11:06.640 --> 03:11:09.280
I think that they have a pretty similar matchup

03:11:09.280 --> 03:11:12.080
because Evo felt like he was starting up and getting good

03:11:12.080 --> 03:11:14.080
the game. You know, the

03:11:14.080 --> 03:11:16.080
game. I think that's the

03:11:16.080 --> 03:11:18.080
game. I think that's the

03:11:18.080 --> 03:11:19.080
game. I think that's the

03:11:19.080 --> 03:11:20.080
game. The game is going to

03:11:20.080 --> 03:11:22.080
be good in the ones game around

03:11:22.080 --> 03:11:23.080
the time that AJ was one of

03:11:23.080 --> 03:11:24.080
the kings, you know, maybe

03:11:24.080 --> 03:11:25.080
even like one of the best

03:11:25.080 --> 03:11:27.080
players in any. So a lot of

03:11:27.080 --> 03:11:28.080
people will model after the,

03:11:28.080 --> 03:11:29.080
you know, the players are

03:11:29.080 --> 03:11:30.080
playing against and ranked

03:11:30.080 --> 03:11:31.080
and I want to play like them.

03:11:31.080 --> 03:11:32.080
I should win like they're

03:11:32.080 --> 03:11:33.080
winning. Ajay and chronic

03:11:33.080 --> 03:11:35.080
were kind of bringing up this

03:11:35.080 --> 03:11:36.080
wall to air trouble type

03:11:36.080 --> 03:11:37.080
game. You saw a lot of any

03:11:37.080 --> 03:11:38.080
doing that. You've picked

03:11:38.080 --> 03:11:39.080
that up as well. So I think

03:11:39.080 --> 03:11:40.080
you follow the mold of some

03:11:40.080 --> 03:11:41.080
of the pioneers and in front

03:11:41.080 --> 03:11:43.600
in tune to the ones game right now.

03:11:45.040 --> 03:11:45.880
I'm just looking back.

03:11:45.880 --> 03:11:47.400
Well, we're waiting on the players to get in the lobby

03:11:47.400 --> 03:11:49.440
and James about, I think a lot of,

03:11:49.440 --> 03:11:50.640
we have been sitting here being talking about like,

03:11:50.640 --> 03:11:51.840
oh yeah, AJ, the old man.

03:11:51.840 --> 03:11:54.760
And there's definitely, there's definitely new fans in chat

03:11:54.760 --> 03:11:56.960
who aren't aware of AJ's story.

03:11:56.960 --> 03:11:59.960
Aren't they, this is a name that is maybe new to them.

03:11:59.960 --> 03:12:00.800
They're like, who is this guy?

03:12:00.800 --> 03:12:01.920
I've not seen this guy before.

03:12:01.920 --> 03:12:04.200
They don't know that like he's been competing in RLCS

03:12:04.200 --> 03:12:07.240
since season six, back when the same ship was in Vegas.

03:12:07.240 --> 03:12:08.800
Those one cloud nine, when they're with James.

03:12:08.800 --> 03:12:10.840
And when squishy was the top of his game,

03:12:10.840 --> 03:12:14.160
He made it. Yeah, I don't think he made it to the world's finals there,

03:12:14.160 --> 03:12:17.120
but he was then in top four in season seven. That was the season.

03:12:17.840 --> 03:12:21.760
Was it? Was it that was it? No, that was row. That was on the road.

03:12:21.760 --> 03:12:22.600
When they made it to the top four,

03:12:22.600 --> 03:12:24.880
that was the season we thought we were going to have the first NA versus NA

03:12:24.880 --> 03:12:27.720
grand finals because three North American teams made it to the top four.

03:12:28.080 --> 03:12:32.080
You still won. It almost happens. If I make it through, I think it was,

03:12:32.160 --> 03:12:34.320
I think it was rogue that they had to go up a compare.

03:12:34.520 --> 03:12:38.160
Was it rogue that took on vitality in the top four? I'm pulling up the

03:12:38.160 --> 03:12:43.440
For top four, I can't quite remember who Rogue had to play to go through.

03:12:43.440 --> 03:12:45.440
I think it might have been G2, but...

03:12:45.440 --> 03:12:48.440
I'm not sure why I pulled up the wrong thing there for me.

03:12:48.440 --> 03:12:52.800
No, it was G2, it was G2, and it was Cloud9 up against Vitality on their side.

03:12:52.800 --> 03:12:54.040
Both of those went 4-0.

03:12:54.040 --> 03:12:56.960
We had two 4-0s in the 4-1.

03:12:56.960 --> 03:13:01.840
The final three matches of that tournament were fascinating, but it was ultimately...

03:13:01.840 --> 03:13:02.840
Rogue did not...

03:13:02.840 --> 03:13:06.040
That was probably his best tournament result in threes, if I remember correctly.

03:13:06.040 --> 03:13:08.040
Yeah, I mean, he definitely won.

03:13:08.040 --> 03:13:09.800
plays to his way onto the scene.

03:13:09.800 --> 03:13:12.280
And I think a lot of people, when they thought of AJ,

03:13:12.280 --> 03:13:15.000
they thought of a mechanical player like that.

03:13:15.000 --> 03:13:17.200
When you thought of what AJ could do,

03:13:17.200 --> 03:13:19.960
you're thinking flash and flair, similar to what, you know,

03:13:19.960 --> 03:13:22.240
Justin was able to do when he was coming onto the scene.

03:13:22.240 --> 03:13:24.880
It felt like in North America, if you were going to break through,

03:13:24.880 --> 03:13:28.320
it had to be because you were mechanically insane.

03:13:28.320 --> 03:13:30.240
And AJ fit that mold, and then there

03:13:30.240 --> 03:13:32.680
was a time in his career where he just kept going up and up

03:13:32.680 --> 03:13:36.600
and up, but just could not find that extra little bit of success.

03:13:36.600 --> 03:13:40.900
And I think really what did it for him is, you know, he had that crazy roster on M80

03:13:40.900 --> 03:13:44.540
where he's teaming with Nass and Jory as two other insane 1v1 players.

03:13:44.700 --> 03:13:48.820
And theoretically on paper, this team would be, you know, a contender for majors

03:13:49.060 --> 03:13:52.160
and they dominated in Swiss Stages, but they weren't able to edge out those

03:13:52.400 --> 03:13:53.700
important victories.

03:13:54.020 --> 03:13:58.660
And I think when, when AJ didn't have success on that roster, kind of figured,

03:13:58.660 --> 03:14:01.560
all right, if I can't win with those guys and, you know, there's not a lot of

03:14:01.560 --> 03:14:04.680
opportunities out there, I'm just going to keep doing my own thing and focus on

03:14:04.680 --> 03:14:05.320
my own game.

03:14:05.320 --> 03:14:10.960
I think what we've seen though in North America, especially in this one be one event is that AJ still has it

03:14:10.960 --> 03:14:16.600
He still has the max. He still has the decision-making ability. He still got the chops as a player

03:14:16.600 --> 03:14:20.680
He can hang with the best, but he's gonna have a really tough corner with AJ

03:14:20.680 --> 03:14:21.720
He gets to win here

03:14:21.720 --> 03:14:27.080
Maybe he'll even consider coming out of retirement way punk if you give you guys that winter event interview you should ask him

03:14:27.080 --> 03:14:29.520
I won't I thought oh my god

03:14:29.520 --> 03:14:33.480
I would love to get to interview AJ in a winning interview here.

03:14:33.480 --> 03:14:35.280
What a story that would be.

03:14:35.280 --> 03:14:36.800
And the fans want to see it too.

03:14:36.800 --> 03:14:39.720
83% in favor of AJ out here.

03:14:39.720 --> 03:14:42.000
Evo could earn some fans here if he

03:14:42.000 --> 03:14:44.800
was able to get a stylish win over the fan favorite.

03:14:44.800 --> 03:14:46.800
But AJ does have an uphill battle

03:14:46.800 --> 03:14:50.000
against an upcoming new star in the RLCS space.

03:14:50.000 --> 03:14:51.400
Can he get back to those ways?

03:14:51.400 --> 03:14:53.040
The guy has been around for so long.

03:14:53.040 --> 03:14:55.280
We were talking with First Killer about him.

03:14:55.280 --> 03:14:57.320
First of all, he used to team with them back on phase.

03:14:57.320 --> 03:14:59.440
He knows this guy's play style.

03:14:59.440 --> 03:15:01.920
He's confident this is a 4-0 for Evo.

03:15:01.920 --> 03:15:04.760
Can Evo prove all of the experts right?

03:15:04.760 --> 03:15:07.760
Or does AJ create the upside here?

03:15:07.760 --> 03:15:09.560
What a moment it would be.

03:15:09.560 --> 03:15:12.040
What a way to kind of continue on here on Playoff Saturday.

03:15:12.040 --> 03:15:12.880
Let's get into it.

03:15:12.880 --> 03:15:17.720
AJ continuing on what has been a long legendary career,

03:15:17.720 --> 03:15:19.280
Evo, just getting started.

03:15:19.280 --> 03:15:21.680
Who gets to write the next positive chapter?

03:15:21.680 --> 03:15:22.680
Let's find out.

03:15:26.360 --> 03:15:27.840
It's time to find out who's going to make it

03:15:27.840 --> 03:15:29.280
into the semifinals.

03:15:29.280 --> 03:15:33.280
There's a partial player to make it into the semifinals of the NA1v1 open.

03:15:33.280 --> 03:15:38.920
D-Base, we've got AJ, we've got Evo, Evo, one of the prodigies, most recent prodigies

03:15:38.920 --> 03:15:39.920
come through NA.

03:15:39.920 --> 03:15:45.480
He's been looking to make that final breakthrough, though, against the King of the Uggs, AJ.

03:15:45.480 --> 03:15:47.480
This is game one, brought to you by Progressive.

03:15:47.480 --> 03:15:49.600
The King of the Uggs, huh, Johnny?

03:15:49.600 --> 03:15:50.600
Is that how you describe it, AJ?

03:15:50.600 --> 03:15:54.600
He's been like, listen, you start on your stream a long time ago, way back in the day.

03:15:54.600 --> 03:15:56.600
Back when you were just a young buck yourself.

03:15:56.600 --> 03:15:58.600
Now he's still playing.

03:15:58.600 --> 03:16:00.600
Back in 2026, it's kind of crazy.

03:16:00.600 --> 03:16:02.600
I was like, what are you talking about?

03:16:02.600 --> 03:16:04.600
I mean, the first kill was playing your stream way back when too.

03:16:04.600 --> 03:16:08.600
Because Evo just opened up a nice little pop shot from distance.

03:16:08.600 --> 03:16:10.600
So I don't know, maybe the first kill might be King on,

03:16:10.600 --> 03:16:12.600
because then AJ might pass.

03:16:12.600 --> 03:16:14.600
You know, AJ goes,

03:16:14.600 --> 03:16:16.600
he's more onto the first kill, though.

03:16:16.600 --> 03:16:18.600
He came right in front.

03:16:18.600 --> 03:16:20.600
He also did retire.

03:16:20.600 --> 03:16:22.600
So there is that aspect to it.

03:16:22.600 --> 03:16:26.360
way back to the league play era but one of the biggest issues for me I think in

03:16:26.360 --> 03:16:30.560
this matchup the agent is going to face is that EVO is pretty similar to him in

03:16:30.560 --> 03:16:34.200
the style of the play once like you mentioned they kind of like to do the

03:16:34.200 --> 03:16:38.920
same things but EVO is I just I think a little bit better at it you're just

03:16:38.920 --> 03:16:44.440
gonna be more mechanically clean on all of the all the air dribbles just gonna

03:16:44.440 --> 03:16:46.160
be a little bit faster by the pitch.

03:16:46.160 --> 03:16:50.200
Also you just gotta keep shooting that thing until he is not worried. That's one thing

03:16:50.200 --> 03:16:53.100
I was watching earlier. Wave even talking about he wasn't having more

03:16:55.100 --> 03:16:59.460
Couple opportunities where he could have shot the ball work or shot it to it weren't taking any pop shots

03:17:00.260 --> 03:17:02.260
We those already showing that he can really

03:17:02.620 --> 03:17:06.740
Touch up the field make AJ have the word and of course he has this in his bag as well

03:17:06.740 --> 03:17:09.220
It's a cross map. He has kind of popularized this

03:17:09.220 --> 03:17:14.940
Oh, even if we get the reset doesn't matter because you know, which is always a threat and for AJ for the newcomers Johnny

03:17:15.180 --> 03:17:18.740
For the people who want a round back in league play what does AJ brings to the table? Oh

03:17:20.200 --> 03:17:22.960
I mean, you can't say experience.

03:17:22.960 --> 03:17:24.600
He's got plenty of that.

03:17:24.600 --> 03:17:25.760
But so does Evo.

03:17:25.760 --> 03:17:28.960
I don't think it is a massive experience advantage for AJ here.

03:17:28.960 --> 03:17:31.720
He's definitely got the experience edge of players

03:17:31.720 --> 03:17:32.760
like Flora in the group.

03:17:32.760 --> 03:17:34.920
Zatu's able to take him down.

03:17:34.920 --> 03:17:37.160
He's able to be chronic and other very experienced ones

03:17:37.160 --> 03:17:37.880
player.

03:17:37.880 --> 03:17:42.360
But Evo is all of those things and just a little bit,

03:17:42.360 --> 03:17:45.960
you know, almost a lot more active in RLCS.

03:17:45.960 --> 03:17:48.360
And he is such a good ones player in his own right.

03:17:48.360 --> 03:17:49.960
It's going to be a free one for AJ though.

03:17:49.960 --> 03:17:53.120
Evo, couple of times now he's running out of boosts

03:17:53.120 --> 03:17:54.400
of these long range air dribbles.

03:17:54.400 --> 03:17:57.640
He did mention that Diaz is the guy who popularized

03:17:57.640 --> 03:18:00.900
this play style, the real long range air dribbles,

03:18:00.900 --> 03:18:03.400
but he always seems to have a little bit of boost left over,

03:18:03.400 --> 03:18:06.800
something that Evo did not have at the end of his life.

03:18:06.800 --> 03:18:08.120
Yeah, he didn't have that.

03:18:08.120 --> 03:18:09.960
Yeah, I can't say, and the great Evo is,

03:18:09.960 --> 03:18:12.880
I can't say he's as talented or as skilled

03:18:12.880 --> 03:18:14.200
in terms of the cross map,

03:18:14.200 --> 03:18:16.200
he has a little reset scoop,

03:18:16.200 --> 03:18:17.600
wherever you want to call it.

03:18:17.600 --> 03:18:18.720
And Diaz is a violent, you know,

03:18:18.720 --> 03:18:20.440
may find a world in this town itself.

03:18:20.440 --> 03:18:21.440
I could even go so pretty.

03:18:21.440 --> 03:18:22.440
Oh!

03:18:22.440 --> 03:18:26.080
With a quick cut inside, time right corner flick.

03:18:26.080 --> 03:18:27.560
That's gorgeous from AJ.

03:18:27.560 --> 03:18:29.280
I thought you might have taken a bit too long

03:18:29.280 --> 03:18:32.080
to get the attack going, but look at that in-field.

03:18:32.080 --> 03:18:36.600
And perfect placement with the little pop to the top corner.

03:18:36.600 --> 03:18:40.400
AJ did struggle a little bit with kickoffs yesterday.

03:18:40.400 --> 03:18:43.360
He's got to try to find a way into the match in that regard.

03:18:43.360 --> 03:18:44.960
And even though he does have the ball here,

03:18:44.960 --> 03:18:49.960
He's got to be very careful in securing it, he was.

03:18:49.960 --> 03:18:52.960
He might have the box, he might have any danger of demos.

03:18:52.960 --> 03:18:57.960
Obviously, Evo knows how to get his feet back up, even without drinks.

03:18:58.960 --> 03:19:02.960
Also, he starts the counterattack, but I don't know.

03:19:02.960 --> 03:19:04.960
It started off the game kind of well for Evo.

03:19:04.960 --> 03:19:07.960
Two quick goals within the first, I'll say about 30 seconds.

03:19:07.960 --> 03:19:10.960
I kind of feel like it's been AJ's game.

03:19:10.960 --> 03:19:11.960
Evo's out of respect.

03:19:11.960 --> 03:19:18.960
Evo still is holding up on the Evo, but AJ is trying to get it, Evo is away with it.

03:19:18.960 --> 03:19:22.960
This Bob's no demo though, AJ no boost, he's not going to be a threat.

03:19:22.960 --> 03:19:25.960
Oh, there's another Pop Shot over AJ's A, can he get back? He will.

03:19:25.960 --> 03:19:29.960
Still no right now, AJ's kind of work, he's got to worry about the Evo shot.

03:19:30.960 --> 03:19:33.960
You're like up on backwards, I'm a little bit here with how these guys are playing.

03:19:33.960 --> 03:19:36.960
It's like an AJ, Evo gave a bold work.

03:19:36.960 --> 03:19:40.480
It's time to end stuff, it's, you know, full pace.

03:19:40.480 --> 03:19:43.280
And they're both just taking turns shadow-defending

03:19:43.280 --> 03:19:46.120
against each other, AJ here, getting caught out.

03:19:46.120 --> 03:19:47.920
That's a good hit to the backboard by Evo.

03:19:47.920 --> 03:19:50.160
AJ didn't expect that one.

03:19:50.160 --> 03:19:52.080
Evo is going to slow this down.

03:19:52.080 --> 03:19:54.440
But what this will do is it's going to, most likely,

03:19:54.440 --> 03:19:57.000
reduce the overall swirling of the game

03:19:57.000 --> 03:19:59.640
if we get lots of fast-paced gameplay where

03:19:59.640 --> 03:20:01.960
four players are zooming about the pitch.

03:20:01.960 --> 03:20:04.240
A minute can go by and nobody's storing.

03:20:04.240 --> 03:20:10.400
Now, this time we do get a goal off the kickoff, but will we enter another lap of the pitch,

03:20:10.400 --> 03:20:14.440
or, you know, sequence of laps of the pitch, or both players are just both sending it?

03:20:15.160 --> 03:20:18.000
I mean, that's my phone level one. That's way back in the day.

03:20:18.360 --> 03:20:22.880
I mean, I know not either. Everybody likes to see it at recess. They like to see the scoops.

03:20:23.640 --> 03:20:26.240
I mean, there was something special about how players, you kind of zip around.

03:20:26.240 --> 03:20:28.520
You got some of the genius talk about the scrubs.

03:20:29.040 --> 03:20:31.440
We just used to run around the field and AJ...

03:20:31.440 --> 03:20:35.440
Oh, my apologies. That's a lot of throwback too, Johnny.

03:20:35.440 --> 03:20:39.440
Yeah, great move. As soon as AJ backs down the line,

03:20:39.440 --> 03:20:43.440
evil switches sides. This is obviously something you guys could try at home.

03:20:43.440 --> 03:20:46.440
If your opponent runs away, gives you space,

03:20:46.440 --> 03:20:49.440
switch to the other side of the pitch on your dribble.

03:20:49.440 --> 03:20:51.440
It really puts a lot of pressure on the defender.

03:20:51.440 --> 03:20:54.440
Evil, of course, has got so many options he can go to there.

03:20:54.440 --> 03:20:59.440
That's where it becomes a bit more difficult for us normal players to emulate what's happening.

03:20:59.440 --> 03:21:04.440
but strategically sides Evo, countering AJ positionally.

03:21:05.940 --> 03:21:07.440
He won't blow so far into the game from Evo.

03:21:07.440 --> 03:21:12.440
He's got five turns in the game, but four have been from shots, from distance.

03:21:12.440 --> 03:21:15.440
Evo really showing his plants in the world that he can shoot.

03:21:15.440 --> 03:21:17.440
He's balling, of course, he also has this as well,

03:21:17.440 --> 03:21:20.440
but this hasn't necessarily been a success performance aerial game.

03:21:20.440 --> 03:21:22.440
This isn't the reason he's up right now.

03:21:23.440 --> 03:21:25.440
AJ missed a boost, don't know the threat from him.

03:21:25.440 --> 03:21:33.440
Yeah, Evo also missed it. He tried to grab mid, but he ended up 0, so he's had to give away the possession here, chance for AJ in the final minute.

03:21:33.440 --> 03:21:41.440
Get back in this, pop-up, by AJ, and it works! That's such a good move to go to in a game with as much shadow defense as we've seen.

03:21:41.440 --> 03:21:44.440
And there's no way that Evo saw this coming.

03:21:44.440 --> 03:21:47.440
Nah, not a chance. First time AJ busted it out too.

03:21:47.440 --> 03:21:49.440
Right at the mid, Mark. Right where you need to go, Evo.

03:21:49.440 --> 03:21:51.440
I'm trying to have a quick shadow just like you said

03:21:52.380 --> 03:21:55.820
Give us up that straight line. He ain't got a straight line. He's putting position

03:21:58.440 --> 03:22:00.120
Here for AJ

03:22:00.120 --> 03:22:02.240
Gonna have some space to work with here

03:22:02.840 --> 03:22:07.120
Evil again backing out AJ trying to ceiling pinch it. It's a soft ceiling pinch

03:22:07.520 --> 03:22:11.780
To get some territory seal the boost away and then set up shot for the evil staff

03:22:12.120 --> 03:22:15.760
Not the most threatening shots of target and unfortunately for AJ

03:22:15.760 --> 03:22:17.760
There's no boost over here to be stolen.

03:22:17.760 --> 03:22:19.760
Not entirely, he's the responsible.

03:22:19.760 --> 03:22:21.760
Yeah, he's still lost the attack there a little bit.

03:22:21.760 --> 03:22:22.760
Wait, does Evo mess this?

03:22:22.760 --> 03:22:24.760
He has Evo's face!

03:22:24.760 --> 03:22:25.760
No, they have a way out there.

03:22:25.760 --> 03:22:26.760
AJ's still in this.

03:22:26.760 --> 03:22:30.760
And AJ was looking at his camera back and forth

03:22:30.760 --> 03:22:32.760
between the front and the back of his camera.

03:22:32.760 --> 03:22:33.760
After he gave that possession away,

03:22:33.760 --> 03:22:35.760
he figured there was going to be an Evo goal.

03:22:35.760 --> 03:22:37.760
Evo did miss this little shot, though.

03:22:37.760 --> 03:22:38.760
No good as AJ a chance.

03:22:38.760 --> 03:22:40.760
AJ gets to reset up Evo's car for Evo.

03:22:40.760 --> 03:22:41.760
He's not going for a board.

03:22:41.760 --> 03:22:42.760
He's bringing it back into the corner.

03:22:42.760 --> 03:22:44.760
He's back cornering there early.

03:22:44.760 --> 03:22:47.760
11 seconds left, 8 days to have to make a play!

03:22:50.760 --> 03:22:55.760
It's what Eva wants, he wants AJ to have to come to him and he's just wasting all the time in the world.

03:22:56.760 --> 03:23:00.760
Really good job executing the possession play from that far out.

03:23:00.760 --> 03:23:05.760
I mean he had some time that he needed to waste there, but he managed to do it safely.

03:23:05.760 --> 03:23:09.760
And yeah, really do think that that endgame sequence, just like I said earlier,

03:23:09.760 --> 03:23:12.760
it's like we've gone back in time and we're just watching the AJ, both of them,

03:23:12.760 --> 03:23:18.160
It's most stupid about the bitch neither one of them want to challenge in low boosts. They don't want to put pressure on the opponent in low boosts

03:23:19.000 --> 03:23:21.760
What do you think of this AJ look by the way for the match?

03:23:25.760 --> 03:23:30.680
I don't mind it. I don't mind it. Listen. He's trying to get locked in. He's locked in but that's just gonna take

03:23:31.240 --> 03:23:33.240
BEEBO. It's not gonna be easy

03:23:33.240 --> 03:23:37.800
Hell yeah, I think you're getting the nose rocked in my eye. Of course you are. You know, you know the game will like the back of your poem

03:23:37.800 --> 03:23:41.800
So I'll give you that. I'll give you that but it really is fast paced

03:23:42.760 --> 03:23:47.300
Action back and forth. I think these two players like playing like that. I think it's very exciting to watch, too

03:23:47.320 --> 03:23:50.060
He's got been a J though. He's got a he's got take away the evil

03:23:50.060 --> 03:23:52.020
I'm gonna call it jump calm jumpers

03:23:52.020 --> 03:23:57.020
But for everybody else they can just be called shots where even score four of them and now it's four of his five goals

03:23:57.160 --> 03:24:00.220
JB take those away. I mean AJ might be in a better position

03:24:00.880 --> 03:24:05.280
That's why I think you evo's just a favorite stylistically is because they both like to do this

03:24:05.280 --> 03:24:07.440
They like to just let their opponent attack

03:24:07.440 --> 03:24:14.960
We could not see that from particular against the past us earlier. He was challenging everything early did not want to let

03:24:14.960 --> 03:24:19.580
Spatos get into the air. These guys are they're actually okay with letting each other get up into the air

03:24:19.920 --> 03:24:26.000
They want to try and shadow in defense. AJ is the one who's got to mix things up like the last game

03:24:26.000 --> 03:24:29.320
He's got to get Evo with more irritable bumps

03:24:29.320 --> 03:24:35.400
He's got to hit Evo more early out plays if he's gonna stop Evo from defaulting to that moment

03:24:37.440 --> 03:24:39.940
I also got worried about these Evo bombs, he does.

03:24:40.940 --> 03:24:41.440
Evo.

03:24:42.740 --> 03:24:43.240
He's the best.

03:24:43.240 --> 03:24:44.540
Then he says the boost grab too.

03:24:44.540 --> 03:24:45.240
Right over AJ.

03:24:45.240 --> 03:24:46.040
AJ's got the backup.

03:24:46.040 --> 03:24:47.040
Give Evo space.

03:24:47.440 --> 03:24:48.540
Evo flips onto the side.

03:24:48.540 --> 03:24:49.540
They set up a shot.

03:24:50.340 --> 03:24:51.240
It's a great attempt right there.

03:24:51.240 --> 03:24:52.240
Good save from AJ.

03:24:52.240 --> 03:24:53.240
AJ does secure.

03:24:54.140 --> 03:24:55.040
Top left boot.

03:24:55.440 --> 03:24:56.640
Oh, they make challenges.

03:24:56.640 --> 03:24:57.740
Give Evo space, Evo.

03:24:57.740 --> 03:24:59.140
That's a basic front flip.

03:24:59.440 --> 03:25:00.240
Front flip flick.

03:25:00.740 --> 03:25:02.040
Nothing much to be asked of.

03:25:03.140 --> 03:25:04.840
He gets the boost in the corner as well.

03:25:04.840 --> 03:25:06.440
They have a lot of possession right here from Evo.

03:25:06.440 --> 03:25:14.440
I want to see AJ as well, and the only thing I want to see him do is just go for the ball.

03:25:14.440 --> 03:25:16.440
Before it's a free ball at some point.

03:25:16.440 --> 03:25:20.440
Just challenge when he will high school control just to try to throw

03:25:20.440 --> 03:25:23.440
Ebo off of his timing. Right now Ebo knows.

03:25:23.440 --> 03:25:26.440
He's closer to the ball than AJ. AJ is not going to challenge him.

03:25:26.440 --> 03:25:30.440
That's why he's still comfortable on the pitch right now.

03:25:30.440 --> 03:25:37.440
Where did the race of the low boost takeoff break speed by Evo 1-0 just past one minute into the game?

03:25:37.440 --> 03:25:42.440
Yeah, for me, right? Just like you gave one, the onus is on EJ to be playing for the trick.

03:25:42.440 --> 03:25:46.440
The surprise is Evo is the player who's in his comfort zone.

03:25:46.440 --> 03:25:49.440
Oh, Evo, great defense right there with low boost.

03:25:49.440 --> 03:25:52.440
New EJ won the shoot. Even does it again right here.

03:25:52.440 --> 03:25:55.440
EJ plays it well, though. Great 50-50.

03:25:55.440 --> 03:25:58.440
He's losing the walls, his friend. He dies with the game.

03:25:58.440 --> 03:26:04.440
That's really well done by Evo. Evo was up early with that one. He telegraphed the challenge.

03:26:04.440 --> 03:26:07.440
He manipulated it to his favour.

03:26:07.440 --> 03:26:10.440
We're going to see any more of the late kick-offs from Evo as well.

03:26:10.440 --> 03:26:13.440
We saw one of the tail end elasticate that worked out.

03:26:13.440 --> 03:26:17.440
He's defaulting for the most part to more standard strategies.

03:26:17.440 --> 03:26:20.440
There's that early flick. Oh my goodness, what a save by Evo.

03:26:20.440 --> 03:26:22.440
He's caught that on the downward bounce.

03:26:22.440 --> 03:26:26.440
And that's why Evo is coming in for the rebound as well.

03:26:26.440 --> 03:26:28.440
necessary stop by evo

03:26:28.780 --> 03:26:30.980
Now when was AJ coming for the rebound Johnny?

03:26:30.980 --> 03:26:33.660
I mean he was expecting evo to get the I'll say

03:26:34.020 --> 03:26:36.820
The stand would save right there. They just playing the dunk

03:26:37.620 --> 03:26:43.460
I mean he didn't expect evo to have the ability to just kiss that thing right off the bottom

03:26:44.060 --> 03:26:50.060
This is right in front of the goal kind of right by AJ. That's an opportunity that goes a ride great play from evo

03:26:50.060 --> 03:26:54.680
Evo just keeps taking more and more shots he knows AJ's long boost and AJ's in

03:26:54.680 --> 03:26:58.180
trouble right here. He's gonna be a one-three up potentially. He hasn't used it.

03:26:58.180 --> 03:27:04.940
I thought he was gonna try it. Damn it. He went in there. Look at you setting up a run up for something but yeah he's really got your jade in tough position here.

03:27:04.940 --> 03:27:11.380
So much boost for Evo. None for AJ. Evo's taking his tight move. Not rushing the attack again.

03:27:11.380 --> 03:27:14.980
Looking to get that angle going and there's the threat. It's been so many

03:27:14.980 --> 03:27:21.420
great shots from Evo. He's invested in those all series long and this is the payment they

03:27:21.420 --> 03:27:27.380
return the investment. The might give marks to one. Oh, that was class. Yes, they're showing

03:27:27.380 --> 03:27:32.620
you that investment work. The best thing is up, look what happens. Evo is setting up that

03:27:32.620 --> 03:27:37.820
HB set the book shots up to 1,000 dribble. You're on the money, Johnny, can't be. It's

03:27:37.820 --> 03:27:40.820
and then AJ back to the shops, that's when you bridge between them.

03:27:42.820 --> 03:27:47.820
Here's the key, do I give you some boost by half while I score a goal please? Thank you.

03:27:48.820 --> 03:28:00.820
Yeah lots of shadowy bits again, and it is as a result a pretty low scoring game, as you can expect when both players are giving each other space and prioritising boosts over pressure.

03:28:00.820 --> 03:28:09.820
I feel like I'm back in 2017, watching AJ vs Lionblazer or something, I mean it's just

03:28:09.820 --> 03:28:15.620
like my turn, your turn, blink, 100 boost, dig the ball back, get the dribble down the

03:28:15.620 --> 03:28:23.540
line, blink again, save, like this, this is a classic 1v1 matchup here for AJ in North

03:28:23.540 --> 03:28:24.540
America.

03:28:24.540 --> 03:28:30.980
I'm looking at bad though. I mean this match is going by pretty quickly too.

03:28:30.980 --> 03:28:36.140
Evo just keeps popping in. Evo's really trying to keep the bar that close. Great demo right

03:28:36.140 --> 03:28:40.740
here. Should be a goal for Evo coming soon. Anyway, he takes his time with it too.

03:28:40.740 --> 03:28:46.380
Yeah, he looks like he's jumped over the potential respawn location. He wanted to make sure that

03:28:46.380 --> 03:28:53.660
AJ wasn't spawning under him. This is a piece of the look today for this one. 3-1, 91 seconds

03:28:53.660 --> 03:28:55.660
He's left, still up first.

03:28:55.660 --> 03:29:00.660
Four is not enough time for AJ, but he has really struggled to get meaningful shots on target in this match.

03:29:00.660 --> 03:29:02.660
He's only had four shots.

03:29:02.660 --> 03:29:04.660
He's forced to play a lot of defense.

03:29:04.660 --> 03:29:07.660
He's forced to make a lot of saves just like this one, Evo.

03:29:07.660 --> 03:29:09.660
Pepper didn't have to distance.

03:29:09.660 --> 03:29:12.660
Oh, he's already brain and back. AJ takes the move.

03:29:12.660 --> 03:29:17.660
Loose Evo says no worries. I'm gonna keep on trolling all possession.

03:29:17.660 --> 03:29:21.660
Oh, he tries to get a sneaky demo. Barely misses AJ. Might come back to buy them though.

03:29:21.660 --> 03:29:24.660
Evo immediately shuts the door. Can he follow it too?

03:29:24.660 --> 03:29:27.660
I only missed that but it doesn't matter. He's going to get the boost again.

03:29:27.660 --> 03:29:30.660
Evo is not backing off of AJ.

03:29:30.660 --> 03:29:34.660
He's just not letting it play. He's controlling the possession.

03:29:34.660 --> 03:29:37.660
Even if it's in Evo's half, he's still firmly in control.

03:29:37.660 --> 03:29:39.660
He can take this back, he can play it forward.

03:29:39.660 --> 03:29:42.660
He's really got all the options in the world. He does decide to play this one forward.

03:29:42.660 --> 03:29:46.660
So that you can steal the boost again. Jokes on you, AJ. I'm not shooting.

03:29:46.660 --> 03:29:48.660
I'm going to steal your boost so that he's going to do it again.

03:29:48.660 --> 03:29:50.660
Again, is he going to demo agent?

03:29:50.660 --> 03:29:51.660
Take a little bite.

03:29:51.660 --> 03:29:55.380
It's a full minute or more of EVO ball control.

03:29:55.380 --> 03:29:57.860
AJ needs to take a risk, and he's picked the wrong moment

03:29:57.860 --> 03:29:59.220
to do it.

03:29:59.220 --> 03:30:02.140
For once, EVO's just probably in control.

03:30:02.140 --> 03:30:04.140
Yeah, barely over a minute, actually, because right when

03:30:04.140 --> 03:30:08.740
you said 91 seconds left, now we've got 28 seconds.

03:30:08.740 --> 03:30:12.260
Now we've got 28 seconds, which is a great play from EVO.

03:30:12.260 --> 03:30:14.140
Every single time he knows, he doesn't need to score.

03:30:14.140 --> 03:30:15.620
Oh.

03:30:15.620 --> 03:30:20.620
Wow, you've got the drive kickoff as well, Evo flexing his kickoff right before here.

03:30:20.620 --> 03:30:22.620
That's a strategy we've seen since then.

03:30:22.620 --> 03:30:26.620
He used an EU last weekend to try to close out games.

03:30:26.620 --> 03:30:29.620
It's a good way to just get the ball moving quickly.

03:30:29.620 --> 03:30:34.620
Right back into 4 of the scheme of what we've seen before.

03:30:34.620 --> 03:30:37.620
But yeah, this has been a pretty good run for AJ.

03:30:37.620 --> 03:30:39.620
He has not had a lot of the ball.

03:30:39.620 --> 03:30:43.620
He has been watching Evo and 3 play for the most part of this game.

03:30:43.620 --> 03:30:46.620
I hope he felt one goal to show for his effort.

03:30:46.620 --> 03:30:49.620
Yeah, and listen, I appreciate the online free play,

03:30:49.620 --> 03:30:51.620
but I'm not trying to see online free play

03:30:51.620 --> 03:30:53.620
coming to Master's magnitude.

03:30:53.620 --> 03:30:54.620
At least I'm not injured.

03:30:54.620 --> 03:30:56.620
That one tilt me out of the Wazoo.

03:30:56.620 --> 03:30:59.620
Why would anybody, why would I want to do that?

03:30:59.620 --> 03:31:00.620
He just got to have to make that adjustment.

03:31:00.620 --> 03:31:01.620
He's got to get on the ball.

03:31:01.620 --> 03:31:03.620
I don't know how he does it though, okay?

03:31:03.620 --> 03:31:05.620
I mean, Evo is, he seems like he's just moving

03:31:05.620 --> 03:31:07.620
a little bit faster than them in every aspect,

03:31:07.620 --> 03:31:09.620
whether it's on the wall, chain dashes,

03:31:09.620 --> 03:31:11.620
whether it's on the ground with just pure speed.

03:31:11.620 --> 03:31:13.620
Even Evo's first goal, I believe.

03:31:13.620 --> 03:31:15.620
AJ had full booze about 90.

03:31:15.620 --> 03:31:17.620
Evo only had about 12, but he caught up so quickly.

03:31:17.620 --> 03:31:19.620
He just beat him out in the midfield race.

03:31:20.620 --> 03:31:23.620
The honest, like I said at the start of this game, it is on AJ

03:31:23.620 --> 03:31:26.620
to do something that Evo doesn't expect.

03:31:26.620 --> 03:31:30.620
But unfortunately, he waited until that fourth goal there.

03:31:30.620 --> 03:31:33.620
The only time he postured up to actually challenge Evo

03:31:33.620 --> 03:31:36.620
was after a full minute of Evo possession.

03:31:36.620 --> 03:31:39.620
Before that, AJ didn't really have an opportunity

03:31:39.620 --> 03:31:45.940
because he will just outpacing him. But early in this game, AJ has to challenge, he just

03:31:45.940 --> 03:31:50.540
early, just go, don't fake challenge, just full send the challenge, and don't get fake.

03:31:50.540 --> 03:31:56.140
Just hit the ball, play, just play the ball. It sounds simple, but with ego behind the

03:31:56.140 --> 03:32:00.180
ball, it's difficult to do that, because you're so scared of the flick, you're so scared of

03:32:00.180 --> 03:32:04.100
the shots, but AJ has just got to put all that fear aside and just go straight for the

03:32:04.100 --> 03:32:07.860
ball in this third game, and do it early.

03:32:09.620 --> 03:32:14.620
I don't know which one is your favorite reason for you to be here.

03:32:14.620 --> 03:32:16.620
I guess it's you, but it means a second for you.

03:32:16.620 --> 03:32:17.620
I don't know.

03:32:17.620 --> 03:32:18.620
But for you, I'm looking at it right now.

03:32:18.620 --> 03:32:19.620
I don't know if the score line has changed.

03:32:19.620 --> 03:32:20.620
It was 2-2.

03:32:20.620 --> 03:32:21.620
It was, yeah.

03:32:21.620 --> 03:32:22.620
It's here.

03:32:22.620 --> 03:32:23.620
Okay, no.

03:32:23.620 --> 03:32:24.620
I don't know whether it's changed since then.

03:32:24.620 --> 03:32:27.620
If I'll tell you that, so you got that message.

03:32:27.620 --> 03:32:30.620
Yeah, that was the most question I could say.

03:32:30.620 --> 03:32:31.620
That's a nice one.

03:32:31.620 --> 03:32:33.620
Getting an update on that one for you guys.

03:32:33.620 --> 03:32:37.620
When we have it, we're going to have the grand final

03:32:37.620 --> 03:32:47.620
We've got the conclusion of EVO AJ, but the other uppers that we final and then we've got

03:32:47.620 --> 03:32:48.620
Vena once.

03:32:48.620 --> 03:32:53.620
Let's see, first of all, can AJ make this into a series?

03:32:53.620 --> 03:32:57.620
Already though, I didn't see him play the ball in the back corner there.

03:32:57.620 --> 03:32:58.620
Fully dead again.

03:32:58.620 --> 03:32:59.620
Fully dead shadowing.

03:32:59.620 --> 03:33:04.620
It's okay once he's had a couple of full sense challenges.

03:33:04.620 --> 03:33:06.620
At that point he can go back to shadowing.

03:33:06.620 --> 03:33:07.620
He's just living right here.

03:33:07.620 --> 03:33:08.620
No problem.

03:33:08.620 --> 03:33:10.620
Oh, what a pushback that is.

03:33:10.620 --> 03:33:11.620
He's going to be just playing.

03:33:11.620 --> 03:33:12.620
Yeah, he's going to ball.

03:33:12.620 --> 03:33:13.620
Oh, no.

03:33:13.620 --> 03:33:14.620
Evo just read him, too.

03:33:14.620 --> 03:33:16.620
Faked like he's going to go left and some tights.

03:33:16.620 --> 03:33:20.620
AJ to take out that bottom left corner from AJ's perspective.

03:33:20.620 --> 03:33:22.620
He's going to have to cover the whole way through.

03:33:22.620 --> 03:33:23.620
AJ does get the boost, though.

03:33:23.620 --> 03:33:24.620
In the social time.

03:33:24.620 --> 03:33:25.620
But now he's in an awkward spot.

03:33:25.620 --> 03:33:27.620
Got him in control of what he does.

03:33:27.620 --> 03:33:28.620
They were for AJ.

03:33:28.620 --> 03:33:29.620
Flickin' coming.

03:33:29.620 --> 03:33:30.620
It's 2-10.

03:33:30.620 --> 03:33:31.620
2-10.

03:33:31.620 --> 03:33:32.620
He's not going to be fighting.

03:33:32.620 --> 03:33:33.620
No way.

03:33:33.620 --> 03:33:34.620
Evo is going to score.

03:33:34.620 --> 03:33:35.620
AJ scores.

03:33:35.620 --> 03:33:38.460
They're going, Angel just goes for it and he profits!

03:33:39.080 --> 03:33:43.120
By going, you know, I feel like an earlier game, Angel would have made this, but

03:33:43.620 --> 03:33:47.420
this time he does just starting to go, thrust himself to half the pace,

03:33:48.120 --> 03:33:50.120
and he's got one goal lead.

03:33:52.120 --> 03:33:55.220
He can't control off the ball again, maybe here, Evo with a taste of his own benefit,

03:33:55.220 --> 03:33:58.320
but he's the Evo's type of guy, he means.

03:34:00.920 --> 03:34:04.120
You see that little wave dash, but Angel's looking like, pass out there,

03:34:04.120 --> 03:34:06.120
He's still behind us.

03:34:06.120 --> 03:34:08.120
That's very... he can do all you break that.

03:34:08.120 --> 03:34:10.120
Yes! He's serving the ball!

03:34:10.120 --> 03:34:12.120
Oh! Johnny's so happy!

03:34:12.120 --> 03:34:14.120
He's gonna get possession off of the 2 Johnny.

03:34:14.120 --> 03:34:16.120
1v1 ego!

03:34:16.120 --> 03:34:18.120
Plus.

03:34:18.120 --> 03:34:20.120
1v1 ego.

03:34:20.120 --> 03:34:22.120
Plus he's a 1v1.

03:34:22.120 --> 03:34:24.120
He's got the solo play!

03:34:24.120 --> 03:34:26.120
He's got the solo play!

03:34:26.120 --> 03:34:28.120
Great stop Tyler! Good shot AJ!

03:34:28.120 --> 03:34:30.120
Good shot!

03:34:30.120 --> 03:34:32.120
Well done!

03:34:32.120 --> 03:34:34.120
Solo play against EVO.

03:34:34.120 --> 03:34:38.120
RLCS 1v1.

03:34:38.120 --> 03:34:40.120
I don't think you're the only one who said that.

03:34:40.120 --> 03:34:41.120
I heard that.

03:34:41.120 --> 03:34:42.120
Oh, Lordy.

03:34:42.120 --> 03:34:44.120
Oh, Lordy.

03:34:44.120 --> 03:34:47.120
AJ, he's doing what he needs to do.

03:34:47.120 --> 03:34:49.120
He's just had enough of getting me.

03:34:49.120 --> 03:34:51.120
He's had enough of a tank challenge.

03:34:51.120 --> 03:34:52.120
I'm just going to go for the ball.

03:34:52.120 --> 03:34:53.120
You've got to actually play.

03:34:53.120 --> 03:34:54.120
If I do that, oh!

03:34:54.120 --> 03:34:56.120
The mind game comes through.

03:34:56.120 --> 03:34:57.120
It's 3-0.

03:34:57.120 --> 03:34:58.120
It's all in AJ's favor now.

03:34:58.120 --> 03:35:00.120
I was going to say, I think this is the first time

03:35:00.120 --> 03:35:02.120
A.J. scored first in the series.

03:35:02.120 --> 03:35:03.640
So, I mean, when you're talking about it,

03:35:03.640 --> 03:35:05.400
now Evo has to respond.

03:35:05.400 --> 03:35:06.440
He can't just play keep away.

03:35:06.440 --> 03:35:09.440
He can't just play boom, ball, take his top shot.

03:35:09.440 --> 03:35:10.560
He's going to have to play off this.

03:35:10.560 --> 03:35:13.280
And he hasn't necessarily done anything too risky

03:35:13.280 --> 03:35:14.360
in this series so far.

03:35:14.360 --> 03:35:17.920
He's been real timid with his attacks,

03:35:17.920 --> 03:35:19.520
a real disconservative.

03:35:19.520 --> 03:35:22.320
But he does end up kind of burning off this kickoff.

03:35:22.320 --> 03:35:25.160
That's a confident flick from Evo.

03:35:25.160 --> 03:35:27.480
A.J. is trying to get rid of the danger there,

03:35:27.480 --> 03:35:29.720
but it's gone straight to Evo.

03:35:29.720 --> 03:35:35.960
slams it. That was a falling fucking I've ever seen before, but when you can hit it, that's fast and accurately at that.

03:35:36.520 --> 03:35:38.520
I do have problems with it.

03:35:39.000 --> 03:35:40.840
Still going to be Hugo's

03:35:40.840 --> 03:35:42.920
fall in here to that corner if he wants it.

03:35:42.920 --> 03:35:44.920
He's going to try to bump it.

03:35:45.480 --> 03:35:49.320
He'll be cornered with an evo-free play. Any demo's going to hit as well.

03:35:49.320 --> 03:35:52.440
Yeah, I think he did bit of the bit more than he could chew there.

03:35:52.440 --> 03:35:55.240
He felt like he might be able to do something with this, but it's really a

03:35:55.720 --> 03:35:57.320
position to make for

03:35:57.320 --> 03:36:00.720
You know, control is by Carter.

03:36:00.720 --> 03:36:03.960
Yeah, he tried to get away with get away with the ball

03:36:03.960 --> 03:36:06.120
and the way with his life.

03:36:06.120 --> 03:36:09.200
He said you can't have both.

03:36:09.200 --> 03:36:11.200
Now, I think I didn't want to boost in the back corners.

03:36:11.200 --> 03:36:13.200
Well, that's why he didn't have the reaction,

03:36:13.200 --> 03:36:15.720
but it cost him home going now that the real lead

03:36:15.720 --> 03:36:18.080
that AJ worked really hard to build.

03:36:18.080 --> 03:36:23.240
Not only when I'm in AJ this possessive,

03:36:23.240 --> 03:36:25.240
a little cyclist shot to the left.

03:36:25.240 --> 03:36:29.480
If I shoot in that far-fowl site, he does present the counter-attack to Keevo.

03:36:29.480 --> 03:36:31.740
Both these guys... Oh, AJ!

03:36:31.740 --> 03:36:33.580
Sikes inside, he was so close.

03:36:33.580 --> 03:36:35.580
That's turned around in his wave dash.

03:36:35.580 --> 03:36:37.580
Now he'll give Keevo a free protection.

03:36:37.580 --> 03:36:39.580
Is it gonna be a physical play?

03:36:39.580 --> 03:36:42.580
No, it's gonna be a duck for Keevo, but not an attack to one at all.

03:36:42.580 --> 03:36:44.580
AJ crushes it.

03:36:44.580 --> 03:36:49.080
Like they're gonna reset, look for a musty click, and he gets it, and he scores it too!

03:36:49.080 --> 03:36:50.080
AJ!

03:36:50.080 --> 03:36:52.080
Shondan the old man the honky

03:36:52.080 --> 03:36:54.080
the prison the honks the king of the honks

03:36:54.080 --> 03:36:56.080
every time he likes to gargle him

03:36:56.080 --> 03:36:58.080
he's no guy

03:36:58.080 --> 03:37:00.080
the unkicked

03:37:00.080 --> 03:37:01.080
4-2

03:37:01.080 --> 03:37:03.080
we're gonna go top 6

03:37:03.080 --> 03:37:05.080
sorry this is already top 6

03:37:05.080 --> 03:37:07.080
we're gonna go top 4 in our LCS ones

03:37:07.080 --> 03:37:09.080
something about his money no elimination today

03:37:09.080 --> 03:37:11.080
and AJ got to get this in there

03:37:11.080 --> 03:37:13.080
what a save by EVO he's actually got down the outside of AJ as well

03:37:13.080 --> 03:37:15.080
AJ's got the boost though

03:37:15.080 --> 03:37:17.080
it's still gonna be a goal for him

03:37:17.080 --> 03:37:21.080
No, three goals to the good again. Second tight in this game.

03:37:23.080 --> 03:37:27.080
AJ, WaveGash kickoff, just put so much pressure on Evo right there.

03:37:28.080 --> 03:37:31.080
We had the scrimp, we had to work just to get back to it in the save.

03:37:31.080 --> 03:37:32.080
I mean, it was glass, it was grief.

03:37:33.080 --> 03:37:36.080
AJ couldn't immediately follow, but then the boost, the chase for the boost after that.

03:37:36.080 --> 03:37:37.080
AJ was better.

03:37:38.080 --> 03:37:40.080
Now it's on Evo. I can't say the error game has been excellent for him.

03:37:40.080 --> 03:37:43.080
Usually he's excellent all CS and these moments reset.

03:37:43.080 --> 03:37:45.080
He was but a double time and he gets it.

03:37:45.080 --> 03:37:50.340
Well, that is quite extraordinary. I think he's frequently lost control of that. He's

03:37:50.340 --> 03:37:56.460
gone behind him. He regains it. And then it's the reset double tap with Bilboos left

03:37:56.460 --> 03:38:01.500
of the tank. That shows extreme confidence because he lost control of it all there. Had

03:38:01.500 --> 03:38:06.500
to use all his burst to get it back in front of him. But he still hits the shot.

03:38:15.080 --> 03:38:19.080
Oh, he barely pops it on AJ, and will he score? He will.

03:38:20.080 --> 03:38:24.080
Great play from Evo right here. There's a subtle pop on the turn.

03:38:24.080 --> 03:38:27.080
It's about AJ. He was trying to slam the door close to distance.

03:38:28.080 --> 03:38:31.080
Doesn't matter though, AJ. No one but one.

03:38:31.080 --> 03:38:35.080
He's wanting to kick up right here. Let's see if he can do another wave dash kick up.

03:38:35.080 --> 03:38:38.080
Evo gets possession, Johnny. Here he goes, off the side wall.

03:38:38.080 --> 03:38:41.080
The shot is way too weak. It should be a goal for AJ.

03:38:41.080 --> 03:38:50.080
I'm very surprised, I can't believe Ivo's gone for the direct shot here, I mean, maybe!

03:38:50.080 --> 03:38:55.080
Maybe with absolutely perfect placement of power you can get a goal there, maybe, but

03:38:55.080 --> 03:38:59.080
even then, it looked like AJ was going to be in the area, and I didn't have a chance to

03:38:59.080 --> 03:39:00.080
say just about anything.

03:39:00.080 --> 03:39:05.080
Ivo with that much type last, but wish that you'd been more careful with the possessions.

03:39:05.080 --> 03:39:06.080
Oh wow, that's obvious.

03:39:06.080 --> 03:39:09.080
So, AJ's close, don't be careful there, Evo there.

03:39:09.080 --> 03:39:14.080
Get it done, dive in early, try to surprise AJ, but the ball's probably too high, it's going to be AJ's call.

03:39:14.080 --> 03:39:16.080
I think he's going to play white to the midfield.

03:39:16.080 --> 03:39:19.080
The whole way back to the start of those, still, to get the attack.

03:39:19.080 --> 03:39:21.080
I was expecting a back corner bearer.

03:39:21.080 --> 03:39:25.080
Evo's been doing the first two games, I'm going to mind it from AJ right there.

03:39:25.080 --> 03:39:27.080
Kind of giving Evo a chance.

03:39:27.080 --> 03:39:29.080
I don't know how they play it.

03:39:29.080 --> 03:39:31.080
Need to be a little smarter with that build.

03:39:31.080 --> 03:39:34.080
It's not going to go on, but bring it back into the corner.

03:39:34.080 --> 03:39:40.080
He's trying to surprise even with the challenge there, AJ knows.

03:39:40.080 --> 03:39:43.080
If you just get one more successful challenge, you win the game.

03:39:43.080 --> 03:39:48.080
But in that moment, you forget what the alternative is, what the challenge doesn't work.

03:39:48.080 --> 03:39:51.080
That's evil scoring, and now you've got one full lead.

03:39:51.080 --> 03:39:54.080
The only thing to play with, your car's out of the game.

03:39:54.080 --> 03:39:57.080
What can evil do in the final play of the game?

03:39:59.080 --> 03:40:02.080
Oh, he scores it!

03:40:02.080 --> 03:40:05.080
Again, with the end-kill dribble.

03:40:05.080 --> 03:40:09.080
Six seconds to go, we're tight at six apiece.

03:40:09.080 --> 03:40:11.080
Evo even lost possession early.

03:40:11.080 --> 03:40:13.080
Kind of a tough ball after he got the demo.

03:40:13.080 --> 03:40:15.080
He couldn't get it on top of his car.

03:40:15.080 --> 03:40:18.080
He drops it. I think Ajay probably should have

03:40:18.080 --> 03:40:19.080
this full sense in that moment.

03:40:19.080 --> 03:40:20.080
Yeah.

03:40:20.080 --> 03:40:21.080
Gave himself a chance.

03:40:21.080 --> 03:40:23.080
That's what he did before.

03:40:23.080 --> 03:40:24.080
He caught my play.

03:40:24.080 --> 03:40:25.080
He did his own head-byte.

03:40:25.080 --> 03:40:26.080
He did his own head-byte.

03:40:26.080 --> 03:40:27.080
He did his own head-byte.

03:40:27.080 --> 03:40:28.080
I said, Evo, the huge early challenge is

03:40:28.080 --> 03:40:30.080
going to bite before the line.

03:40:30.080 --> 03:40:34.240
So no danger there great defense for a ego forcing over time

03:40:34.760 --> 03:40:39.660
Go ahead by three here rolls through a day's delay kickoff AJ trying to trick evil

03:40:39.840 --> 03:40:43.240
He didn't know felt for it boosted back to Jesus rewards. Oh

03:40:47.760 --> 03:40:52.300
Bring it back AJ no boost copy all evil right here. Evo is moving fast as never

03:40:53.320 --> 03:40:57.880
AJ just back right corner, but here we go. Evo send us a bookshot danger. Thanks. I don't give up

03:40:57.880 --> 03:41:00.840
50-50, AJ should sell this backline.

03:41:00.840 --> 03:41:02.000
This is in 2017.

03:41:02.000 --> 03:41:05.240
He's got to close it this and then some point, Johnny.

03:41:05.240 --> 03:41:07.800
Yeah, he's a bit scared to do that against Devo.

03:41:07.800 --> 03:41:13.320
From that angle, Devo threw an ended shot to both top corners

03:41:13.320 --> 03:41:14.320
of the net.

03:41:14.320 --> 03:41:16.520
Low 50, obviously a threat as well.

03:41:16.520 --> 03:41:18.640
You know, so many options in that position for Evo,

03:41:18.640 --> 03:41:21.040
but I think you're right, AJ.

03:41:21.040 --> 03:41:24.640
Either up 6-5 or in overtime, just

03:41:24.640 --> 03:41:26.160
has to go for the ball.

03:41:26.160 --> 03:41:33.160
You just thought it was a send-get at some point because on your goalie they're sitting ducky in a way, it's not like you're holding onto a good position.

03:41:33.160 --> 03:41:39.160
Sometimes you get in the full position if you've got players in the other players, not really threatening much.

03:41:39.160 --> 03:41:44.160
But I do like that Evo's had the angles and dribbles, that's something we talked about earlier.

03:41:44.160 --> 03:41:46.160
You guys can try that in your own games.

03:41:46.160 --> 03:41:48.160
Game for yourself on angles you work with.

03:41:48.160 --> 03:41:52.160
Right in shots, right in clicks, cuts in field, bakes.

03:41:52.160 --> 03:41:55.160
Evo's really flexing all the options here.

03:41:56.160 --> 03:42:00.140
really is he had to have a dig deep too because he just thought up the game hot

03:42:00.140 --> 03:42:05.580
scores first scored second score third three goals the better for AJ and

03:42:05.580 --> 03:42:11.160
then later on the game I believe was five two in this game as well so two

03:42:11.160 --> 03:42:16.820
times in this game AJ had a three goal lead he's he's a leg what kind of waste

03:42:16.820 --> 03:42:21.740
away any moments I mean I know it's a proper situation evils of highly talented

03:42:21.740 --> 03:42:25.860
individual which so is AJ I think he think he just needs to have a little

03:42:25.860 --> 03:42:30.100
more confidence in his challenges, a little more confidence in his ability to stop whatever

03:42:30.100 --> 03:42:35.500
evos about to present to him because oh, Tom should sat back and kind of letting the

03:42:35.500 --> 03:42:37.980
evo dictate what happens.

03:42:37.980 --> 03:42:44.580
I think at this stage in Rockley's history allowing players of evos caliber, of evos talent

03:42:44.580 --> 03:42:46.580
to shoot the ball.

03:42:46.580 --> 03:42:49.580
There's going to be more and more of a life of success.

03:42:49.580 --> 03:42:54.820
It's why a lot of the players will skew toward aggression more often than not.

03:42:54.820 --> 03:42:58.340
Alright, he was trying to try to kick off here, for instance, open the game forward,

03:42:58.340 --> 03:43:00.840
I was right pulled into the backboard.

03:43:00.840 --> 03:43:05.060
Yeah, he did, but he caught a little bit too much off it.

03:43:05.060 --> 03:43:10.980
It's really surprising, actually, how side-on you need to be with the right kickoff before it bites into me.

03:43:10.980 --> 03:43:17.180
You feel like you're too side-on when you get to right now, obviously.

03:43:17.180 --> 03:43:19.380
But it's enough of an angle for people.

03:43:19.380 --> 03:43:25.380
It wasn't, it wasn't, let me know when you're opening up the kickoff ahead of me.

03:43:25.380 --> 03:43:30.380
You know, I did not know, I did not know that the kickoff was nowhere near the same.

03:43:30.380 --> 03:43:32.380
Evo doesn't point to AJ.

03:43:32.380 --> 03:43:39.380
Well, if AJ actually almost came from inside the goal and barely kissed it back in, that would have been a top play if I've ever seen one.

03:43:39.380 --> 03:43:43.380
Evo shot incoming, power and accuracy, not exactly what he wanted.

03:43:43.380 --> 03:43:48.380
AJ no bruise, Evo secures the mid, AJ's got the backup, and here we go, same situation.

03:43:48.380 --> 03:43:52.380
What is AJ gonna do? He has no moves, but he does save the ball.

03:43:52.380 --> 03:43:57.380
I was gonna say that if he doesn't get that, he's gonna just make his own chances happen.

03:43:57.380 --> 03:44:01.380
I do like that out of AJ right here, just pushing Evo back into the corner.

03:44:01.380 --> 03:44:03.380
I think Evo have to work for him.

03:44:03.380 --> 03:44:07.380
I do something like AJ's missed an opportunity there to drive Challenger.

03:44:07.380 --> 03:44:11.380
Maybe demo Evo on the previous play at midfield.

03:44:11.380 --> 03:44:15.380
That started off the sequence of Evo's possession.

03:44:15.380 --> 03:44:20.380
So it's now 8 o'clock and we get something happening.

03:44:20.380 --> 03:44:22.380
Recovery by Ego on the inside of his own post.

03:44:22.380 --> 03:44:26.380
He's prioritizing the boost skill instead of following up pressure.

03:44:26.380 --> 03:44:28.380
That's been the story of the series for me.

03:44:28.380 --> 03:44:32.380
Both players, why after this let call both the opponent inside?

03:44:32.380 --> 03:44:35.380
There's a low nasty opponent that's called Noma Bandit,

03:44:35.380 --> 03:44:39.380
and you're able to secure 100%.

03:44:39.380 --> 03:44:42.380
This is the least amount of reset gold.

03:44:42.380 --> 03:44:46.600
I've seen the one series in a very long time and it's about the most amount of

03:44:46.600 --> 03:44:51.520
shots I've seen in one series in a long time too. Once again no Evo, Bubs out AJ,

03:44:51.520 --> 03:44:55.980
Turn, David, it just snipes it right into the crossbar.

03:44:55.980 --> 03:45:00.380
Thumb range, one and one apiece, 3-30, 3-30 left.

03:45:00.380 --> 03:45:02.380
Again, it's over by it again.

03:45:02.380 --> 03:45:06.380
Your right spin, focusing mostly on the right game. Here's another look at it.

03:45:06.380 --> 03:45:09.380
Evo taking edge on the stick.

03:45:09.380 --> 03:45:19.380
He's done it up there to cut away the shooting angle, but of course AJ will get around the ball with a wave dash and the side flip shot.

03:45:19.380 --> 03:45:25.380
Still quite getting this one. He wants to make it into a closer match than it's for a line we currently suggest.

03:45:25.380 --> 03:45:33.380
Really it has gone very much toward the plan for EVO. It's very much as fresh skill and cold as it would be.

03:45:33.380 --> 03:45:41.140
It's drunk in favor of the active RLCS player in all of AJ's.

03:45:41.140 --> 03:45:45.820
Hope is with the link here in this series.

03:45:45.820 --> 03:45:47.060
Hope, that's a big pop.

03:45:47.060 --> 03:45:49.660
It'll leave a lot of that with Dresden Drill.

03:45:49.660 --> 03:45:50.940
Yeah, I don't think you did either.

03:45:50.940 --> 03:45:52.820
He thought you got an ego right there.

03:45:52.820 --> 03:45:54.060
I can imagine now he's upset.

03:45:54.060 --> 03:45:55.420
Does get another demo on AJ.

03:45:55.420 --> 03:45:57.980
AJ hits him on the top.

03:45:57.980 --> 03:45:59.820
Evo says, my fault.

03:45:59.820 --> 03:46:02.620
AJ's tired of being taken out of the game, Johnny.

03:46:02.620 --> 03:46:07.340
Oh, he says he didn't mean to. So AJ is written on it. Is that a quick chat?

03:46:07.340 --> 03:46:08.460
Yeah, that's a quick chat.

03:46:08.460 --> 03:46:11.740
But he was trying to choose where to respawn.

03:46:11.740 --> 03:46:15.260
And that's pretty good excuse, but I don't know if I can even...

03:46:15.260 --> 03:46:19.580
I mean, that's too suspicious as soon as you get them up there.

03:46:19.580 --> 03:46:21.180
Nah, he did with Nevers.

03:46:21.180 --> 03:46:24.140
Never would he be tilted up that much, really.

03:46:24.140 --> 03:46:25.260
Ah, nah.

03:46:25.260 --> 03:46:28.060
Nah, no classy North American players. They never got to the North American most.

03:46:28.060 --> 03:46:31.500
Yeah, they did my in here, Daniels.

03:46:31.500 --> 03:46:35.700
Scrimm was back in the 80s generation, he was part of that era.

03:46:35.700 --> 03:46:40.260
Playing against all the dogs, all the greats of MA.

03:46:40.260 --> 03:46:46.300
Now he's got to play up against the greats of the modern one team.

03:46:46.300 --> 03:46:50.140
Evo, Squillin, AJ in this one.

03:46:50.140 --> 03:46:52.500
He's just been better in the physical game.

03:46:52.500 --> 03:46:56.300
I think he's picked his box to challenge a little bit better as well.

03:46:56.300 --> 03:46:59.780
Overall, just being slightly more efficient.

03:46:59.780 --> 03:47:02.580
There's a better example to drive from Evo.

03:47:02.580 --> 03:47:04.940
Evo got more of an angle at his approach now,

03:47:04.940 --> 03:47:06.380
with more of an angle at his bumpside point,

03:47:06.380 --> 03:47:08.380
so it does just go back harder, heartlessly.

03:47:10.380 --> 03:47:12.780
We had to turn a little quicker as well.

03:47:12.780 --> 03:47:16.980
Even when we were talking about the Litzes,

03:47:16.980 --> 03:47:20.780
they did end up conceding a kick-off roll as a big kick-off roll, too.

03:47:20.780 --> 03:47:24.900
Evo and Lades kick-off, I think, were some of the first times in the series.

03:47:24.900 --> 03:47:26.900
They really took AJ by surprise.

03:47:27.900 --> 03:47:29.900
Now check it out, man, that was a quick two-go swing.

03:47:29.900 --> 03:47:32.900
AJ was up one to two and then came three to two.

03:47:32.900 --> 03:47:35.900
AJ right here, gives a reset, takes the ball, game!

03:47:35.900 --> 03:47:38.900
Raise the goal, free the game, back with him, one.

03:47:38.900 --> 03:47:40.900
Well, you get the pre-plus as well to get the shots off.

03:47:40.900 --> 03:47:42.900
There's a big gap between AJ and the ball.

03:47:42.900 --> 03:47:44.900
Evil thought that that's going to slow down the shot.

03:47:44.900 --> 03:47:46.900
AJ proving otherwise.

03:47:46.900 --> 03:47:48.900
Perfect contact.

03:47:48.900 --> 03:47:50.900
Oh, the best transfer now.

03:47:50.900 --> 03:47:51.900
AJ's the one playing the kickoff.

03:47:51.900 --> 03:47:53.900
They're really accelerating through it though, so it's going backwards.

03:47:54.900 --> 03:48:01.900
He's going south is backwards so it's good to take control of the situation.

03:48:01.900 --> 03:48:05.900
36-minute and I think for AJB's success we've got to stay on the ball.

03:48:05.900 --> 03:48:06.900
Like what he's doing right here.

03:48:06.900 --> 03:48:08.900
Got to have a feeling, have an inkling there.

03:48:08.900 --> 03:48:09.900
And he's going to start getting this ball.

03:48:09.900 --> 03:48:11.900
He's going to start bringing it back into the corner.

03:48:11.900 --> 03:48:12.900
There it is.

03:48:12.900 --> 03:48:14.900
Here we go.

03:48:14.900 --> 03:48:15.900
That was all fake.

03:48:15.900 --> 03:48:16.900
He's not actually trying to score this either.

03:48:16.900 --> 03:48:18.900
He's going to bring it back below.

03:48:18.900 --> 03:48:19.900
Oh, or is he?

03:48:19.900 --> 03:48:20.900
Never mind.

03:48:20.900 --> 03:48:21.900
Never mind.

03:48:21.900 --> 03:48:23.900
He's trying to score it.

03:48:23.900 --> 03:48:27.420
Eventually all leads back to the corner. Here we go, you see.

03:48:27.420 --> 03:48:29.420
Taking a good shot at Target.

03:48:29.420 --> 03:48:30.920
Forced it up to the lead.

03:48:30.920 --> 03:48:32.420
Oh, he didn't get along that well here.

03:48:32.420 --> 03:48:34.420
You're actually able to stay with it as a result.

03:48:34.420 --> 03:48:36.920
But Willie, Willie do just that.

03:48:36.920 --> 03:48:37.920
Lay her on the game.

03:48:37.920 --> 03:48:39.920
Now that we're in the final minute, I would not be surprised.

03:48:39.920 --> 03:48:43.920
Like, you would have made the Evo dribbling of all five

03:48:43.920 --> 03:48:45.920
on Pre-Shop.

03:48:45.920 --> 03:48:47.920
Pre-Shop major right there on the chain dash.

03:48:47.920 --> 03:48:50.920
He didn't, he just let's Evo get the ball again.

03:48:50.920 --> 03:48:54.360
He's got to be able to capitalise he put Evo in a bad position.

03:48:54.360 --> 03:48:56.560
Damn, kind of flopping off his own hold.

03:48:56.560 --> 03:48:57.760
Hold on, bad touch from Evo.

03:48:57.760 --> 03:48:58.640
Can he get back to it?

03:48:58.640 --> 03:49:00.040
I don't think he can.

03:49:00.040 --> 03:49:02.440
AJ ties it up.

03:49:02.440 --> 03:49:05.080
He shoals the wall by AJ.

03:49:05.080 --> 03:49:07.040
Great first touch as well.

03:49:07.040 --> 03:49:08.640
Didn't have a lot of boost to play with.

03:49:08.640 --> 03:49:10.720
Had to make those touches perfectly.

03:49:10.720 --> 03:49:12.440
He quick succession.

03:49:12.440 --> 03:49:14.080
Right back to the center circle we go.

03:49:14.080 --> 03:49:15.960
He was tricky in this game.

03:49:15.960 --> 03:49:17.560
Red kick off to the lead.

03:49:17.560 --> 03:49:19.720
Well, and he's been spun out, AJ.

03:49:19.720 --> 03:49:25.720
He just fucked himself up. Everybody fall it over as we get to the final seconds.

03:49:27.720 --> 03:49:31.720
Oh, we gotta track that. Track the utopia grass. It might be a little slick out there right now.

03:49:31.720 --> 03:49:33.720
AJ with possession.

03:49:34.720 --> 03:49:38.720
Ah, but the air dribble is just not what he wanted. Now he's out of boost. He's gonna pop that to the wall.

03:49:38.720 --> 03:49:42.720
He's gonna give away the possession of Evo. Here goes Evo. I immediately insta-shot.

03:49:42.720 --> 03:49:44.720
Oh, he's gonna be able to Evo that every single time.

03:49:44.720 --> 03:49:46.720
Time for...

03:49:46.720 --> 03:49:48.720
He's gonna share again.

03:49:48.720 --> 03:49:49.720
Send me your Gribbles.

03:49:49.720 --> 03:49:50.720
Mix it up.

03:49:50.720 --> 03:49:51.720
Throw me Evo.

03:49:51.720 --> 03:49:52.720
Ceiling double.

03:49:52.720 --> 03:49:53.720
It's in the bar.

03:49:53.720 --> 03:49:54.720
Oh, no offense.

03:49:54.720 --> 03:49:55.720
Overtight.

03:49:58.720 --> 03:50:00.720
I'm in life on the line right here.

03:50:00.720 --> 03:50:03.720
It's 4x4 of Evo Wednesdays,

03:50:03.720 --> 03:50:05.720
but a series has been close.

03:50:05.720 --> 03:50:07.720
It's been little things from AJ

03:50:07.720 --> 03:50:09.720
that have made all the difference.

03:50:09.720 --> 03:50:12.720
Things as they need to be able to challenge me.

03:50:12.720 --> 03:50:17.760
positions he's not giving, oh no he's not joining, he will, he will!

03:50:20.160 --> 03:50:27.120
Ah, yeah, Evo's just too, too quick, he caught AJ by surprise here, AJ backwards at the near post,

03:50:27.840 --> 03:50:35.840
could not accurately defend his neck, and he drops to the quarterfinals, Evo advances to the semis

03:50:35.840 --> 03:50:41.600
to the confident win over the legend that is AJ, that you know I think it was better

03:50:41.600 --> 03:50:49.280
at the end of the series from AJ, he started to do more in the way of challenging by going

03:50:49.280 --> 03:50:50.280
forwards.

03:50:50.280 --> 03:50:51.280
But it just took too long.

03:50:51.280 --> 03:50:53.880
I think he needed to start the series doing that.

03:50:53.880 --> 03:50:55.880
That's even the best price.

03:50:55.880 --> 03:50:56.880
Exactly.

03:50:56.880 --> 03:51:00.920
And then in the big moments too, we've been in game number three, have AJ is up by three,

03:51:00.920 --> 03:51:04.440
kind of he's already, he resorted back to just not going for the call.

03:51:04.440 --> 03:51:05.440
Yeah.

03:51:05.440 --> 03:51:08.080
And then that happened for the sixth goal for Evo, Evo tied up, but in the seventh

03:51:08.080 --> 03:51:12.760
to win over time. It was just a big moment. You've got to be able to be active in those

03:51:12.760 --> 03:51:16.680
situations in order to get yourself a chance. That's fair of credit to Evo, he gets to win.

03:51:16.680 --> 03:51:18.680
And he moves on, I'm sure he's quite happy.

03:51:22.680 --> 03:51:24.180
Keith, I want to try and experiment.

03:51:24.180 --> 03:51:25.180
Alright.

03:51:25.180 --> 03:51:28.380
To help you unbecome your parents, I want you to try a game called Rocket League.

03:51:28.380 --> 03:51:31.280
Ooh, is it a puzzle like my crossword?

03:51:31.280 --> 03:51:33.080
No, picture soccer.

03:51:33.080 --> 03:51:33.880
Okay.

03:51:33.880 --> 03:51:35.380
With a car.

03:51:35.380 --> 03:51:37.680
What do I hang my feet outside the window?

03:51:37.680 --> 03:51:43.560
No, not your car, but you said think it's a video game. Oh, okay. I get it. Where's the cartridge?

03:51:43.560 --> 03:51:49.080
No, it's an online thing. Is there a joystick? Not like the ones you're thinking of, but I need to get some quarters, right?

03:51:49.080 --> 03:51:57.160
No, I gotta blow in the cartridge again, like no cartridge, but you'll need a username username. How about Keith underscore 9914?

03:51:57.720 --> 03:52:02.640
The bathroom coat? That's the only number I can kind of remember easily. So

03:52:07.680 --> 03:52:12.180
Don't hold back, cause you won't move in the morning with the musicians to move, so I'll make you high

03:52:12.180 --> 03:52:18.680
Don't hold back, sell the knives

03:52:23.680 --> 03:52:29.680
Every day, Michelin innovates to move the world forward on the road and far beyond

03:52:29.680 --> 03:52:32.680
Michelin, Motion for Life

03:52:32.680 --> 03:52:34.680
That just started to build up.

03:52:34.680 --> 03:52:37.680
Oh, it cleared the bump, but saved it.

03:52:37.680 --> 03:52:39.680
And a middle.

03:52:39.680 --> 03:52:41.680
Just reminds me of what did it finish.

03:52:41.680 --> 03:52:42.680
Oh, what a devil.

03:52:42.680 --> 03:52:43.680
Oh, Stizzy.

03:52:43.680 --> 03:52:44.680
Downfield down to Jack.

03:52:44.680 --> 03:52:45.680
Open net.

03:52:45.680 --> 03:52:47.680
He didn't have a lead.

03:52:47.680 --> 03:52:48.680
Big shot.

03:52:48.680 --> 03:52:49.680
Pass.

03:52:49.680 --> 03:52:50.680
Oh, a body.

03:52:50.680 --> 03:52:51.680
Not over.

03:52:51.680 --> 03:52:52.680
Zero seconds.

03:52:52.680 --> 03:52:53.680
It's too late.

03:52:53.680 --> 03:52:54.680
On the ground.

03:52:54.680 --> 03:52:55.680
On the fourth.

03:52:55.680 --> 03:52:58.680
That is how you take an opportunity, real ass.

03:52:58.680 --> 03:53:02.680
Punch them so they can get out of the way to open the door!

03:53:28.680 --> 03:53:30.680
I don't even know what I'm doing.

03:53:51.680 --> 03:53:54.680
Part of the magic of the broccoli is the stories you can tell about it.

03:53:54.680 --> 03:53:59.680
The zero-second buzzer meters that saves the underdog victories.

03:53:59.680 --> 03:54:00.680
It's all there.

03:54:00.680 --> 03:54:03.680
As we return to this legendary arena,

03:54:03.680 --> 03:54:06.680
we'll witness Rompoli's story unfold together.

03:54:06.680 --> 03:54:08.680
Who will hang their team's banners

03:54:08.680 --> 03:54:10.680
and the Raptors' champions' field?

03:54:10.680 --> 03:54:12.680
Start to find out.

03:54:24.680 --> 03:54:30.680
You're all gold, a little too hard to take

03:54:30.680 --> 03:54:37.680
There's records broken while I'm falling to the ground again

03:54:37.680 --> 03:54:41.680
Can't keep reliving my mistakes

03:54:41.680 --> 03:54:45.680
Cause I'm not a good man

03:54:45.680 --> 03:54:48.680
I know that I've made a mistake

03:54:48.680 --> 03:54:51.680
But I ain't felt what I feel

03:54:51.680 --> 03:54:54.080
When I'm shakin' all your skin

03:54:54.080 --> 03:54:57.020
I'm not worth it

03:54:57.020 --> 03:54:59.660
Nobody needs to see you

03:54:59.660 --> 03:55:02.980
But you're just my girl

03:55:05.980 --> 03:55:08.980
I just wanna get out

03:55:11.480 --> 03:55:14.480
I just wanna get out

03:55:16.980 --> 03:55:19.980
I just wanna get out

03:55:51.680 --> 03:55:53.680
I

03:57:51.680 --> 03:57:53.680
I

03:58:21.680 --> 03:58:23.680
I

03:58:51.680 --> 03:58:53.680
Saw you in the mattress

03:58:53.680 --> 03:58:55.680
I can't seem to understand

03:58:55.680 --> 03:58:58.680
How you got all that funness

03:58:58.680 --> 03:59:00.680
Still be running in circles

03:59:00.680 --> 03:59:03.680
Inside my head

03:59:03.680 --> 03:59:05.680
Was it looking for love, baby?

03:59:05.680 --> 03:59:07.680
I felt you stay

03:59:21.680 --> 03:59:32.280
They've played hundreds of times, it feels like at this point, but Evo has AJ's number

03:59:32.280 --> 03:59:36.880
on speed dial, they're four up, four down, made him work for it.

03:59:36.880 --> 03:59:39.400
Then at the end, Evo is third at top four.

03:59:39.400 --> 03:59:41.640
He's one match away from the grand finals.

03:59:41.640 --> 03:59:42.640
I'm joined by Evo here, sir.

03:59:42.640 --> 03:59:43.640
Dude, FK called it.

03:59:43.640 --> 03:59:44.640
He said it was going to be a 4-0.

03:59:44.640 --> 03:59:45.640
You lived up to it.

03:59:45.640 --> 03:59:46.640
AJ made you work for it, though.

03:59:46.640 --> 03:59:49.640
What was the hardest part of that match for you?

03:59:49.640 --> 03:59:55.360
Honestly, kickoff. I kind of want to kickoff. So I just started playing it, popping it up.

03:59:55.360 --> 03:59:57.600
And yeah, I think that's why I wouldn't.

03:59:58.960 --> 04:00:04.280
How much time do you spend thinking about like premeditating a kickoff versus like just kind of

04:00:04.280 --> 04:00:08.360
vibe coding the kickoff when it comes to once? Because it feels like it's like so much of the game

04:00:08.360 --> 04:00:09.640
when you're the only player on the pitch.

04:00:10.280 --> 04:00:13.160
Honestly, I don't really think too much about it, to be honest.

04:00:14.760 --> 04:00:17.960
Okay, well, you may have worked here with all this kickoff there.

04:00:17.960 --> 04:00:19.960
I got to ask about tomorrow real fast here.

04:00:19.960 --> 04:00:24.460
Yeah, first killer is in the match behind you and then depending on who loses between Zach and Diaz, they'll be back there.

04:00:24.460 --> 04:00:26.960
So you're either playing Zach, Diaz or FK.

04:00:26.960 --> 04:00:28.960
Who do you feel is your best matchup?

04:00:28.960 --> 04:00:31.960
Um, I think probably FK.

04:00:31.960 --> 04:00:36.460
I want to get my rematch because last year I lost to him and kind of want to be in the shoe.

04:00:36.460 --> 04:00:38.960
So yeah, I think, I think first player.

04:00:38.960 --> 04:00:42.460
Hey, you're already a step ahead. I hope you get that rematch there.

04:00:42.460 --> 04:00:44.460
We got Zach and Diaz coming up here in a second.

04:00:44.460 --> 04:00:46.960
You think Diaz has got this or Zach going to cut the, create the upset?

04:00:46.960 --> 04:00:51.960
I think Diaz will open that 4-1, 4-0.

04:00:51.960 --> 04:00:54.960
All right, sir. Well, hey, congratulations on the win.

04:00:54.960 --> 04:00:57.960
Good luck on Championship Sunday. Thank you. Thank you.

04:00:57.960 --> 04:01:01.960
As Eva locking it down here, he wants the rematch against First Killer.

04:01:01.960 --> 04:01:05.960
Wouldn't that be a stylish way to have Championship Sunday evolve here?

04:01:05.960 --> 04:01:10.960
Back and forth match, especially there towards the end here, Johnny.

04:01:10.960 --> 04:01:13.960
AJ put it to overtime multiple games.

04:01:13.960 --> 04:01:33.960
I think he did just take a bit too long to try the aggressive style of defense. He waited until it was evil favorite at the end of the series and then he started to switch up physically. I think maybe if you can start off the match with early challenges and get evil worrying about that early on in the series, that's when you can have more success later on.

04:01:33.960 --> 04:01:39.260
I think maybe if you can start off the match with early challenges and get people

04:01:39.260 --> 04:01:43.140
partying about that early on in the series, that's when you can have more

04:01:43.140 --> 04:01:47.400
success later on with his standard defensive style.

04:01:47.400 --> 04:01:48.880
It wasn't enough.

04:01:48.880 --> 04:01:53.280
Evo was just a little faster, a little quicker, just better.

04:01:53.280 --> 04:01:55.440
Everybody came down to it and he was comfortable.

04:01:55.440 --> 04:01:59.320
Even in that moment, AJ did somehow put us on such an awkward position right there.

04:01:59.320 --> 04:02:02.960
He knows it too. I mean, it's just tough to be in that spot after grabbing

04:02:02.960 --> 04:02:07.760
Boots and evo just coming around the barrel full speed full full speed around the corner. So

04:02:09.200 --> 04:02:12.880
evo clinical series and I mean all these top ones players and then they to keep predicting all these

04:02:12.880 --> 04:02:16.720
four O's in the next matches. So now now I'm a little hesitant man on the next game too. I was

04:02:16.720 --> 04:02:22.640
expecting to be really good. I wonder I wonder I will say like when it comes to like most improved

04:02:22.640 --> 04:02:28.480
in the tournament, Zach formerly scribbles did not make it to play off Saturday in 2025. Here he is

04:02:28.480 --> 04:02:31.840
in the upper bracket with a chance of pushing himself straight to top four if you're gonna take

04:02:31.840 --> 04:02:37.040
out his teammate Diaz. This is one of the biggest like improvements we've seen from year to year

04:02:37.040 --> 04:02:41.840
in this tournament. But still, Johnny Diaz has just looked untouchable. I mean, with how good

04:02:41.840 --> 04:02:46.560
first killer looked earlier and the way Diaz took him out yesterday, you got to think this is Diaz's

04:02:46.560 --> 04:02:53.040
tournament still. Absolutely. You know, I'm looking at Zach here in one by one terms,

04:02:53.040 --> 04:02:58.720
as kind of like an Osaft. He's trying to come in here. Both the Diaz is underestimating him,

04:02:58.720 --> 04:03:03.520
like babies ended to OSAF, definitely like we did to OSAF to the EU. And then, you know,

04:03:03.520 --> 04:03:10.320
just obviously be mechanical, be fast like we know Zach is. But he'll need to be an all-rounded

04:03:10.320 --> 04:03:14.720
ones player as well. You can't just rely on speed and mechanics against Diaz. He's got to have the

04:03:14.720 --> 04:03:20.320
kickoff strats. He's got to have the aggression and defense. He's got to also find ways to get the

04:03:20.320 --> 04:03:25.280
ball off of Diaz, who's very good at controlling possession forever in match-ups against these

04:03:25.280 --> 04:03:29.600
players. Well, we'll get to see that in a moment. We are kind of getting almost a little ahead of

04:03:29.600 --> 04:03:33.440
ourselves and break down the details of the upcoming match because this is not the only tournament

04:03:33.440 --> 04:03:38.880
happening right now. Middle East, North African bracket has concluded up until the grand finals.

04:03:38.880 --> 04:03:45.920
It will be TRK versus Nobu. A rematch of upper bracket round one. TRK was able to get it done

04:03:45.920 --> 04:03:54.800
against Mish in six games there. That man TRK man. Oh, I don't want to see TRK lose two grand

04:03:54.800 --> 04:03:59.300
Grand finals in a row, man. If y'all are watching the two the twos grand final two weeks ago

04:03:59.720 --> 04:04:01.720
511 went up against

04:04:02.360 --> 04:04:09.640
Falcons name seven guys. He had the most insane reset go to tie it up about 27 seconds left

04:04:10.400 --> 04:04:13.420
And then ah, it's just Falcons found a way

04:04:13.920 --> 04:04:20.040
They found a way to beat him in regular time, too. I'm not I was kind of crushing TRK. I talked to him at the Lens

04:04:20.040 --> 04:04:25.880
And he wants to win, man, he's always in grand finals and he has won grand finals, but he

04:04:25.880 --> 04:04:26.880
wants to win even more.

04:04:26.880 --> 04:04:28.360
It's another big moment here.

04:04:28.360 --> 04:04:33.960
If he gives beat, the reign in RCS won the world champion, I'll be great momentum for

04:04:33.960 --> 04:04:36.440
him going into the, I mean, world championship.

04:04:36.440 --> 04:04:40.920
It'd be an incredible title to take off of Nobu's shoulders there.

04:04:40.920 --> 04:04:43.480
Will he get the opportunity, will he be able to do it, will he live up to the moment?

04:04:43.480 --> 04:04:45.360
He's earned the opportunity here.

04:04:45.360 --> 04:04:47.960
Two team kills here to close out the day.

04:04:47.960 --> 04:04:51.920
Twisted Mines versus Twisted Mines will be our Mina grand final before that SSG versus

04:04:51.920 --> 04:04:57.480
SSG Zach and Diaz taking each other on. You're going to start to talk about the match again.

04:04:57.480 --> 04:05:01.200
We were saying we were like that's going to add to the two different decals. I'll set

04:05:01.200 --> 04:05:05.800
them there to two excellent decals here in the season. You were saying you were making

04:05:05.800 --> 04:05:11.720
comparisons Johnny of Zach Osoft over in the European 1v1s and how a lot of people slept

04:05:11.720 --> 04:05:16.440
on him. But he was clearly a lot better than people expected. I'm having trouble believing

04:05:16.440 --> 04:05:20.920
his teammate Diaz is going to be sleeping on sack. If there's anyone that's going to know what

04:05:20.920 --> 04:05:25.560
Zach's bringing, you'd assume it'd be Diaz. Yeah, you would think so. You know, I do want to

04:05:25.560 --> 04:05:31.400
clarify again, when I'm making comparisons between Zach and Osaf, that is exclusively for 1v1 and the

04:05:31.400 --> 04:05:36.600
expectations in this upper semi-final matchup. When you're talking threes, Osaf is trying to use

04:05:36.600 --> 04:05:41.320
that one through his ult as a way to break through into the 3C. Scribbles has already done that.

04:05:41.320 --> 04:05:46.120
He's going the other direction, where he's already been successful in threes, especially in

04:05:46.120 --> 04:05:51.720
North America and now he's trying to add 1v1 just as an extra feather in his cap and an extra

04:05:51.720 --> 04:05:57.160
thing to practice competitiveness in and I think that's a valuable thing for all these guys who

04:05:57.160 --> 04:06:02.680
are trying to win multiple game loads. Gribbles obviously, Zach and Two's, these guys together

04:06:02.680 --> 04:06:08.840
in threes. This is just more repetitions, the feeling of pressure and you know keeping the

04:06:08.840 --> 04:06:15.400
mechanics sharp. Oh that's a great point right there real quick Wade because Zach is the one

04:06:15.400 --> 04:06:20.800
person still remain who can try them. Yes, due to trouble. Yes, very true. But this is

04:06:20.800 --> 04:06:25.840
an it's so interesting to think that Diaz could be a big part of the story of him not

04:06:25.840 --> 04:06:30.320
being able to complete that here. But also a fun tip that if you think about just a few

04:06:30.320 --> 04:06:36.560
weekends ago in the North American two v twos, Zach and reveal on SSG had in the semi finals

04:06:36.560 --> 04:06:41.120
a match against Diaz and they knocked Diaz out of the tournament there. So a little bit

04:06:41.120 --> 04:06:44.760
of maybe Diaz getting the payback here on Zach going back and forth, a bit of healthy

04:06:44.760 --> 04:06:49.960
rivalry in and amongst the teammates to keep themselves sharp. And it is Diaz here that

04:06:49.960 --> 04:06:54.520
we've been talking about Nobu in the Mena region, how he's the reigning, defending,

04:06:54.520 --> 04:06:59.800
Rocket League 1v1 champion of the world. His name hangs in Champions field. Diaz doesn't have a

04:06:59.800 --> 04:07:04.680
banner yet, but he is the reigning defending North American 1v1 champion. And he's trying to get

04:07:04.680 --> 04:07:10.760
back to that point. Zack stands in his way right now. A fantastic match up here. And could Zack

04:07:10.760 --> 04:07:17.840
Create the spectacle we're about to find out folks. Let us know you things gonna win hashtag Zach hashtag Diaz hashtags couldn't be more simple in this case

04:07:18.640 --> 04:07:22.600
Bates things X got it. Was that was that Argentina Jersey?

04:07:27.240 --> 04:07:30.760
He's Brazilian right? Yeah, that'd be like that'd be like you repping like

04:07:32.240 --> 04:07:37.600
I don't know what the I don't know what the allegiances are like. They're off between Argentina and Brazil or like

04:07:37.600 --> 04:07:41.600
I don't know, it feels like it. Maybe you say it feels to me like a good idea.

04:07:41.600 --> 04:07:43.600
Are they friends? I don't know.

04:07:43.600 --> 04:07:45.600
Do you see any Scottish people in England dressing up?

04:07:45.600 --> 04:07:46.600
I know, I have a saying.

04:07:46.600 --> 04:07:48.600
Do they wear each other's jerseys?

04:07:48.600 --> 04:07:49.600
Yeah, exactly.

04:07:49.600 --> 04:07:52.600
Are you going to see the two plates today? Maybe he's going to have Brazil on tomorrow?

04:07:52.600 --> 04:07:55.600
I don't know, you're still never wearing English jersey.

04:07:55.600 --> 04:07:59.600
So I don't know, it's that. This place is not the jersey alone. Give me Zach.

04:07:59.600 --> 04:08:02.600
I'll wear the jersey of every Englander playing though, if anyone's got one.

04:08:02.600 --> 04:08:04.600
Oh, you will?

04:08:04.600 --> 04:08:05.600
Absolutely.

04:08:05.600 --> 04:08:09.600
Alright, I'll take your back. Give me DS.

04:08:09.600 --> 04:08:11.600
Yes, let's go with DS. What are we doing here?

04:08:11.600 --> 04:08:13.600
DS is favorite. He's favorite of the whole tournament.

04:08:13.600 --> 04:08:16.600
Zach has to prove that he's got this extra level in him.

04:08:16.600 --> 04:08:19.600
I think that he's already surprised us by taking down Wavy yesterday,

04:08:19.600 --> 04:08:22.600
but Wavy looks a little bit nervous.

04:08:22.600 --> 04:08:25.600
So I'm waiting to see if it gets to DS or a farce killer

04:08:25.600 --> 04:08:27.600
before I believe he's on that level.

04:08:27.600 --> 04:08:30.600
I do think that, I do think that Zach is the most improved player

04:08:30.600 --> 04:08:33.600
in the tournament compared to the 20-25 season.

04:08:33.600 --> 04:08:41.400
But Diaz is looking as good as he was then and it was enough to win the whole thing here in North America getting Diaz on this one

04:08:41.400 --> 04:08:44.680
It will be Diaz moving forward. Zack will have to drop the play first killer tomorrow

04:08:45.600 --> 04:08:49.260
What'll happen here? All right, Bates since you're so you're so hot on Zach

04:08:49.260 --> 04:08:50.260
What's up with you guys?

04:08:50.260 --> 04:08:56.520
Oh, I'm not I'm not I'm not hot on Zach as you can clearly see I was just basing my pick off with allegiances

04:08:56.520 --> 04:08:59.900
And it also production on the ground. Yeah, but production is playing around with me

04:08:59.900 --> 04:09:06.860
I clearly said Diaz is a clean sweep on the desk. Don't worry about it. Sometimes your eyes can literally deceive you and they're deceiving you right now

04:09:06.860 --> 04:09:11.980
I'm seeing a lot. I'm picking screen. Yes, and it's okay

04:09:11.980 --> 04:09:15.500
Hey, listen, I'll tell you this maybe I got the best of both worlds here

04:09:15.500 --> 04:09:19.720
I can have Zach and I can have Diaz because I know what I picked by no production pick for me

04:09:19.720 --> 04:09:22.640
Let's get to the matter. We got the best of both worlds here, too

04:09:22.640 --> 04:09:29.500
Because SSG's one in either way folks a bit of a team kill inter rivalry here Zach versus Diaz to close out play outside of it

04:09:29.900 --> 04:09:36.320
I think Diaz has a great chance at getting some revenge from those 2B2's fear.

04:09:36.320 --> 04:09:37.320
What do you think?

04:09:37.320 --> 04:09:38.320
Definitely.

04:09:38.320 --> 04:09:43.660
If 2B2 was favoring Zac, then this is Diaz's home field.

04:09:43.660 --> 04:09:47.820
This is Diaz's turf in this 1v1 matchup.

04:09:47.820 --> 04:09:54.380
It looked like Diaz is on pretty good team as well.

04:09:54.380 --> 04:10:02.660
playing 2v2's from Brazil and looks like now back in NA Diaz able to get the first

04:10:02.660 --> 04:10:08.360
goal of this series and gonna be the favorite in here but Zac has been has

04:10:08.360 --> 04:10:14.240
had some good results. Zac I think a true contender here. Well how much of a

04:10:14.240 --> 04:10:19.280
chance do you really give him against the Titan of Diaz dominating NA once for a while?

04:10:19.280 --> 04:10:24.880
Yeah, it really comes down to as Diaz gets scored yet another Diaz loves to put

04:10:24.880 --> 04:10:29.280
players on the ropes he loves to dance in the air and watch them squirm and Zack

04:10:29.280 --> 04:10:34.840
squirming right now the wave dash being convinces Zack as he flies out and Diaz

04:10:34.840 --> 04:10:38.480
is able to score but it's gonna come down to that matchup between Zack and Wavy

04:10:38.480 --> 04:10:41.840
you know going into that that's a matchup that Wavy should win somebody who

04:10:41.840 --> 04:10:46.000
maybe can actually give a fight to Diaz but maybe does not look like himself so

04:10:46.000 --> 04:10:51.040
So Zac gets to beat him in advance, can he show it again against another top contender?

04:10:51.040 --> 04:10:53.360
That's what he gets to prove right now against Diaz so far.

04:10:53.360 --> 04:10:58.000
40 seconds in, it seems like everything's going according to plan though for the 1v1

04:10:58.000 --> 04:10:59.000
greats.

04:10:59.000 --> 04:11:05.240
That's going to be an open net spotted out Diaz says oh well he's going to leave it open.

04:11:05.240 --> 04:11:09.360
I'll shoot it there, Zac has actually been had time on the mid-boost and he wondered

04:11:09.360 --> 04:11:12.480
what he was doing there, just boosting straight up the wall.

04:11:12.480 --> 04:11:14.480
Yeah, you even boost, you know

04:11:15.280 --> 04:11:18.920
Towards the play if we're gonna be an irritable which sometimes players do from that position

04:11:18.960 --> 04:11:22.400
He was kind of just boosting all the way up into the deep back corner

04:11:22.400 --> 04:11:28.020
Which is not even a place to challenge much of any take. I almost wondered if his controller disconnected first

04:11:29.800 --> 04:11:34.100
Who's left the wall, but finally Zach will get his first goal of the game

04:11:36.120 --> 04:11:38.120
Now we had a friends with a reset

04:11:38.120 --> 04:11:43.120
But that little touch there, you can see how much power he got on it almost scored off the touch.

04:11:43.120 --> 04:11:47.120
We have seen a ton of Zach Clips. I think Zach got the number one play.

04:11:47.120 --> 04:11:52.120
One of the top players of yesterday, he is more than capable of continuing to add that

04:11:52.120 --> 04:11:55.120
and getting his name in that top plays again if he gets open opportunities.

04:11:55.120 --> 04:11:58.120
He's almost about as close as he gets, but he is going to have the follow-up.

04:11:58.120 --> 04:12:04.120
We have ideas to make sure that Zach doesn't get to his aerial game as often as he'll need to to win this series.

04:12:04.120 --> 04:12:08.620
Yeah, and you can see Diaz a little bit panicked on that touch.

04:12:08.620 --> 04:12:10.820
Normally he's the one making other people squirm.

04:12:10.820 --> 04:12:14.420
Zac getting in there, that patient.

04:12:14.420 --> 04:12:17.320
That means right time.

04:12:17.320 --> 04:12:20.220
Diaz though, fighting through.

04:12:20.220 --> 04:12:23.420
That should be an open net goal here for Diaz.

04:12:23.420 --> 04:12:26.220
He's gonna walk that one right in.

04:12:26.220 --> 04:12:32.220
Diaz just taking advantage of a Zac who was looking for a 50 on low boost,

04:12:32.220 --> 04:12:37.180
but ultimately was not able to check the ball well enough to get him in from the side.

04:12:37.180 --> 04:12:39.660
He's to wave dash, mirror, kick off.

04:12:39.660 --> 04:12:44.300
You know, with teammates playing each other, it makes me wonder if these guys ever do any

04:12:44.300 --> 04:12:45.500
one-by-one against each other.

04:12:45.500 --> 04:12:49.900
Zack and I's really taking advantage of Diaz who slipped up on the boost, had to reverse

04:12:49.900 --> 04:12:50.900
back to get it.

04:12:50.900 --> 04:12:54.140
So arriving to this defense just a bit late, Zack takes advantage.

04:12:54.140 --> 04:12:55.340
I know I've seen this over at Mina.

04:12:55.340 --> 04:12:58.860
A lot of the top Mina guys will scream each other a bunch in one-by-one.

04:12:58.860 --> 04:13:00.180
Maybe that's where Zack is getting his bread.

04:13:00.180 --> 04:13:01.180
I don't know if we have an interview.

04:13:01.180 --> 04:13:02.820
We're going to have to do with one of them afterwards.

04:13:02.820 --> 04:13:05.820
We actually know if they ever play and, you know,

04:13:05.820 --> 04:13:07.260
shark action their skill against each other.

04:13:07.260 --> 04:13:08.420
They're trying to scrims or something, you know?

04:13:08.420 --> 04:13:10.620
And you've got maybe other teams that they're yet to say,

04:13:10.620 --> 04:13:14.460
hey, you want to do some 1v1 while we wait.

04:13:14.460 --> 04:13:15.860
I would think they should do that.

04:13:15.860 --> 04:13:16.860
I've seen other teams do it.

04:13:16.860 --> 04:13:18.660
But I also wouldn't be surprised if they said,

04:13:18.660 --> 04:13:20.700
no, you know, we stick away from the mode.

04:13:20.700 --> 04:13:23.860
But no better guy to practice against than Diaz.

04:13:23.860 --> 04:13:25.700
And Diaz, obviously, you could probably learn something new

04:13:25.700 --> 04:13:30.780
playing against a pair as skilled as Zac as Diaz.

04:13:30.780 --> 04:13:36.060
Open the pin, Zach back, oh my god, didn't have a ton of boost, Zach pops it around him and he's got an equal game.

04:13:38.060 --> 04:13:40.780
You see that raw talent that Zach has as well.

04:13:41.900 --> 04:13:44.700
Zach's such a fast player, so speedy.

04:13:45.420 --> 04:13:48.140
Red Diaz like a book there, he's had him a couple times now.

04:13:48.700 --> 04:13:51.820
Despite Diaz having a strong start in the game, you see Zach now.

04:13:52.220 --> 04:13:53.580
Game confidence.

04:13:55.500 --> 04:13:56.700
That's possession again.

04:13:57.180 --> 04:13:58.700
On the dribble, Diaz.

04:13:58.700 --> 04:14:01.700
It's beat again, Zach!

04:14:01.700 --> 04:14:05.700
Following his own flick, and a nice flick it was.

04:14:05.700 --> 04:14:10.700
Diaz shadowing from distance and just waiting for Zach to bring the plate to him.

04:14:10.700 --> 04:14:16.700
Zach punishing, capitalizing, got a kick-off win, never giving that possession back.

04:14:16.700 --> 04:14:21.700
Diaz has again pushed this ball into blue half. Previously Zach was able to handle it. Diaz just misses.

04:14:21.700 --> 04:14:24.700
Barely Zach is aiming out of the net to make the save.

04:14:24.700 --> 04:14:29.260
likely just clear this one out, throw it on that, force Diaz to slow down, Zack's gonna

04:14:29.260 --> 04:14:32.420
have an opportunity to pick up boost, but now Diaz gets to get to his favorite position.

04:14:32.420 --> 04:14:36.020
He sees Zack coming to challenge, he pitches it on the ceiling, but a little bit of a bump

04:14:36.020 --> 04:14:39.260
might have helped slow down his recovery and Diaz can't get there to convert.

04:14:39.260 --> 04:14:45.660
That did look like Zack made some contact with Diaz on that play, such a fast challenge,

04:14:45.660 --> 04:14:49.660
bold challenge for Zack, but it worked out, however Diaz in the air again will have to

04:14:49.660 --> 04:14:51.660
out of the flight, no boost.

04:14:51.660 --> 04:14:54.660
Zach, touch to the corner and gets the 100.

04:14:54.660 --> 04:14:58.660
A little bit of space here is actually going to take it up the wall.

04:14:58.660 --> 04:15:01.660
Didn't go up cleanly, now back down to the ground. Diaz.

04:15:01.660 --> 04:15:03.660
Defend that.

04:15:03.660 --> 04:15:06.660
That less than I'd be able to touch up the wall.

04:15:06.660 --> 04:15:08.660
Yeah, both of the defenses are looking solid right now.

04:15:08.660 --> 04:15:10.660
Normally you see in ones that Diaz is going to get a nice bump,

04:15:10.660 --> 04:15:12.660
should have an available angle.

04:15:12.660 --> 04:15:15.660
But you normally see in ones, extended attacks,

04:15:15.660 --> 04:15:18.660
you know, a shot that gets followed up a few different times

04:15:18.660 --> 04:15:20.260
where a defender is actually able to escape,

04:15:20.260 --> 04:15:23.180
but right now, both Zac and Diaz have done a good job

04:15:23.180 --> 04:15:25.460
of shutting down their very first attack,

04:15:25.460 --> 04:15:28.500
getting quality saves, prioritizing their recoveries

04:15:28.500 --> 04:15:30.940
on top of guiding the ball to the corner,

04:15:30.940 --> 04:15:33.860
not allowing either one of them to get anything going,

04:15:33.860 --> 04:15:35.740
which is, Diaz, I know can do that.

04:15:35.740 --> 04:15:37.780
It's Zac who potentially was not gonna be able

04:15:37.780 --> 04:15:39.460
to handle Diaz's offense in that way,

04:15:39.460 --> 04:15:40.940
so far it has, nice little free flip

04:15:40.940 --> 04:15:43.980
to kind of scoop the boost out of Diaz's control,

04:15:43.980 --> 04:15:45.820
and he's gonna try and force Diaz to here.

04:15:45.820 --> 04:15:50.820
And he scored this, Diaz gets the pickboard to respawn, and Zach shoots it away.

04:15:50.820 --> 04:15:53.820
And this is all because of a watch with Waldasher from Diaz.

04:15:53.820 --> 04:15:57.820
Made it an easy target, a sitting duck there for Zach.

04:15:57.820 --> 04:16:00.820
Had Diaz been able to get that Waldasher.

04:16:00.820 --> 04:16:02.820
I mean, he was playing so smart before that.

04:16:02.820 --> 04:16:04.820
He wasn't getting made in by the boost.

04:16:04.820 --> 04:16:07.820
He was quite close to the ball for that, you know, that's a risk to play.

04:16:07.820 --> 04:16:13.820
A lot of people don't realize how difficult Waldasher really is to execute perfectly every single time.

04:16:13.820 --> 04:16:16.880
I'm gonna give up another one Diaz down by two.

04:16:18.160 --> 04:16:21.560
Zack is looking like a real contender out here.

04:16:21.560 --> 04:16:28.160
Yeah, Zack is not making a mistake of overly, you know, respecting Diaz, backing off behind him.

04:16:28.160 --> 04:16:31.060
And he wants, he is ready to pounce on any poor touch.

04:16:31.060 --> 04:16:33.060
Diaz is giving him opportunities.

04:16:33.060 --> 04:16:40.020
Zack may be immune to, you know, the fear that everyone else has when they're going up against Diaz in North America.

04:16:40.020 --> 04:16:42.460
Says this is my teammate. I know I can beat him. What do you mean?

04:16:42.460 --> 04:16:44.460
He is certainly playing confident.

04:16:44.460 --> 04:16:45.460
Wave that shot.

04:16:45.460 --> 04:16:46.460
Diaz cuts it off.

04:16:46.460 --> 04:16:48.460
We'll see if Zack can get an extended possession now.

04:16:48.460 --> 04:16:50.460
Diaz managed to save that with a ton of boost left over.

04:16:50.460 --> 04:16:51.460
He used that boost.

04:16:51.460 --> 04:16:53.460
The bomb stack away.

04:16:53.460 --> 04:16:54.460
Diaz not going to pick up 100.

04:16:54.460 --> 04:16:55.460
Going to cut straight down the field.

04:16:55.460 --> 04:16:57.460
Both of them still have to use the work win.

04:16:57.460 --> 04:16:58.460
Can Zack get around it easily?

04:16:58.460 --> 04:17:00.460
He just waits on the ground and has a save.

04:17:00.460 --> 04:17:04.460
It didn't look like Diaz got enough height on the air from the bomb.

04:17:04.460 --> 04:17:06.460
And he's going to pay the price.

04:17:06.460 --> 04:17:07.460
Gives up the ball.

04:17:07.460 --> 04:17:10.460
Looks like a premium opportunity there for Diaz.

04:17:10.460 --> 04:17:11.460
Didn't execute.

04:17:11.460 --> 04:17:13.860
and out of the other end, Zach punches him.

04:17:13.860 --> 04:17:16.540
It seems like he's reading Diaz like a book.

04:17:16.540 --> 04:17:19.540
Diaz multiple times over now,

04:17:19.540 --> 04:17:22.820
getting caught just out of position

04:17:22.820 --> 04:17:24.820
where Zach can sail it up and over him.

04:17:26.620 --> 04:17:27.740
I think you're right.

04:17:27.740 --> 04:17:28.940
I think you're onto something here,

04:17:28.940 --> 04:17:33.860
that intimidation factor that Diaz probably has

04:17:33.860 --> 04:17:35.460
against so many other players.

04:17:35.460 --> 04:17:37.900
Not gonna be there for Zach.

04:17:37.900 --> 04:17:39.460
Wow, nice recovery on this one.

04:17:39.460 --> 04:17:41.220
actually faded Diaz in.

04:17:41.220 --> 04:17:43.580
Sometimes how it works, you make a bit of a mis-touch,

04:17:43.580 --> 04:17:45.500
and your opponent thinks that they can capitalize.

04:17:45.500 --> 04:17:47.700
Diaz not able to capitalize.

04:17:47.700 --> 04:17:50.780
Zack, look at strong for those of us out there

04:17:50.780 --> 04:17:54.260
who want to entertain the idea of a triple crown winner.

04:17:54.260 --> 04:17:55.940
You need Zack to be playing well in ones.

04:17:55.940 --> 04:17:57.980
You need him to look good against Diaz in ones.

04:17:57.980 --> 04:17:59.140
And he's done just that.

04:17:59.140 --> 04:18:00.940
He's got Diaz to give up.

04:18:00.940 --> 04:18:02.660
A four goal lead with 21 seconds.

04:18:02.660 --> 04:18:03.780
Diaz wants to go next.

04:18:03.780 --> 04:18:06.620
Zack will confirm game number one.

04:18:06.620 --> 04:18:07.820
Great performance from Zack.

04:18:07.820 --> 04:18:10.380
It was off to a bit of a shaky start.

04:18:10.380 --> 04:18:13.980
You were talking about how Diaz can make his opponent squirm.

04:18:13.980 --> 04:18:16.260
We saw that very early on.

04:18:16.260 --> 04:18:19.740
Got the reset, brought back down to the ground.

04:18:19.740 --> 04:18:23.580
It looked like this might be a routine game here for Diaz.

04:18:23.580 --> 04:18:27.820
But then Zack kicked it to a different gear, came back,

04:18:27.820 --> 04:18:29.580
and then started not missing a beat.

04:18:29.580 --> 04:18:30.900
You saw that one play there.

04:18:30.900 --> 04:18:34.060
Such a compact side flip as well.

04:18:34.060 --> 04:18:37.100
Diaz thought that he had the angle covered for Zack.

04:18:37.100 --> 04:18:41.940
so mechanical, so fast that Diaz is having trouble keeping it up.

04:18:41.940 --> 04:18:44.660
Yeah, this is everything we could hope for from Zach

04:18:44.660 --> 04:18:45.980
coming into this tournament.

04:18:45.980 --> 04:18:48.300
John and I had him on our list, but a little bit lower.

04:18:48.300 --> 04:18:50.380
And it's kind of like if you could put a question mark next

04:18:50.380 --> 04:18:52.940
to his name instead of a number, I think both of us

04:18:52.940 --> 04:18:55.220
might have done it because he has played that well

04:18:55.220 --> 04:18:56.460
in every other game mode.

04:18:56.460 --> 04:18:58.220
We haven't seen him as much.

04:18:58.220 --> 04:19:00.100
He doesn't really deserve a spot

04:19:00.100 --> 04:19:02.060
above the people who have proven results, who have actually

04:19:02.060 --> 04:19:04.820
gotten the wins that put them at the top of the ranks.

04:19:04.820 --> 04:19:08.960
But so far, Zack is not everything you could be asked of to move higher and higher and higher.

04:19:08.960 --> 04:19:13.600
And it starts here in this game one against Diaz, you know, if you can keep this game play,

04:19:13.600 --> 04:19:18.700
just like there were gardening comparisons to Osoft in EU, the way Osoft played in ones,

04:19:18.700 --> 04:19:20.140
he just had such a complete game.

04:19:20.140 --> 04:19:25.680
And we were a bit more surprised with that because we hadn't seen that success yet in twos or threes necessarily.

04:19:25.680 --> 04:19:26.680
We have seen that with Zack.

04:19:26.680 --> 04:19:32.620
So we should be less surprised, but he is playing a really well rounded game and has Diaz

04:19:32.620 --> 04:19:37.620
on the back foot, something that he is probably almost never in, in one way or another.

04:19:37.620 --> 04:19:43.620
Yeah, it's got to be a little bit jarring here for DS, normally. Is that heavy, okay, Rick?

04:19:44.620 --> 04:19:48.620
The other thing is welfare, I don't know about you, but I want to talk about the Triple Crown.

04:19:48.620 --> 04:19:51.620
One, I wonder if we could come up with a better name.

04:19:51.620 --> 04:19:55.620
But two, I feel like if you are even in the running for the Triple Crown,

04:19:55.620 --> 04:19:59.620
you should get some kind of special titles like a final sport.

04:19:59.620 --> 04:20:03.700
Yeah, I'm down more titles, more fun, more things to show off.

04:20:03.700 --> 04:20:07.500
I mean, it's it's interesting because I could believe a world not only

04:20:07.500 --> 04:20:09.100
where I don't think we're gonna see a triple crown.

04:20:09.100 --> 04:20:12.620
I think we might not even go into a world championship with a chance for a

04:20:12.620 --> 04:20:13.140
triple crown.

04:20:13.140 --> 04:20:17.420
That's not saying if somebody makes it to the world championship and they're

04:20:17.420 --> 04:20:21.660
competing in all three, that warrants a special title, does it not?

04:20:22.540 --> 04:20:23.220
You have my vote.

04:20:23.220 --> 04:20:25.420
If you're trying to gain votes, you've got mine.

04:20:25.420 --> 04:20:37.420
Because he, and Zac has a real chance of it here, he's the last one to do it, but Diaz is that final hurdle, in my opinion, obviously a lot of people think First Killer also has what it takes, but Diaz isn't a favorite.

04:20:37.420 --> 04:20:47.420
If Zac can take Diaz down here, he's got a legit shot at taking that a reality, something I didn't think we'd see, and already we see Zac get the equalizer.

04:20:47.420 --> 04:20:49.420
What is he doing?

04:20:49.420 --> 04:20:50.420
Attack.

04:20:50.420 --> 04:20:54.420
He's able to stop the full-field dribble that Basal Diaz is going for.

04:20:54.420 --> 04:20:56.420
That's what he's known for.

04:20:56.420 --> 04:20:58.420
We don't know what he's known for yet.

04:20:58.420 --> 04:21:00.420
We're finding out what he's known for right now.

04:21:00.420 --> 04:21:02.420
We know at least he can do double-foot presets,

04:21:02.420 --> 04:21:04.420
because that was in everyone's play.

04:21:04.420 --> 04:21:06.420
We'll see what else he could do.

04:21:06.420 --> 04:21:08.420
He could definitely kick off, because he's had no trouble being Diaz on.

04:21:08.420 --> 04:21:12.420
He's going to get this one to roll perfectly down in front of him and take the lead.

04:21:12.420 --> 04:21:14.420
That's got to be annoying for Diaz.

04:21:14.420 --> 04:21:16.420
Diaz, I think that that one maybe would bounce up.

04:21:16.420 --> 04:21:22.180
bounce up or something, it's caught out. Didn't get the boost either. That has to be a tilter.

04:21:24.660 --> 04:21:29.300
You have seen for Diaz too, he's missed boost pickups. It didn't really matter on that last

04:21:29.300 --> 04:21:33.060
goal because he was going to get score on whether to pick up the boost or not. He's been

04:21:33.060 --> 04:21:37.620
driving right past the couple, which is not the best side ever. You know what that being said,

04:21:37.620 --> 04:21:41.940
last person I remember doing that was Sam. So that's the decid company to keep on, Zach!

04:21:41.940 --> 04:21:49.380
Another great aerial play as he takes this from behind the midfield line. It's a fairly low dribble can't challenge from the ceiling

04:21:49.380 --> 04:21:54.260
But that's not where Tia's challenges from it's on the ground and Zack still hasn't beats insane power

04:21:55.440 --> 04:21:57.440
Zack goes for it

04:21:58.460 --> 04:22:03.020
Didn't have a clue if he loses that 50 there as well. Yes off the races and scoring

04:22:04.340 --> 04:22:10.380
Back again another flipper. He said this one bounces off the elbow and goes perfectly back to him

04:22:10.380 --> 04:22:19.220
Everything is going Zach's way right now. Diaz trying to switch it up, bring the defensive

04:22:19.220 --> 04:22:24.220
pressure to him, chasing him down out in the air, but Zach is too comfortable there. Both

04:22:24.220 --> 04:22:28.420
these guys are very talented in the air, and they're going to try and stop each other's

04:22:28.420 --> 04:22:33.460
real game so far. It has been Zach who has yet to be stopped, Diaz who is looking for

04:22:33.460 --> 04:22:38.740
answers as he's into the air right now. As an early reset, Zach is just shadowing, shadowing,

04:22:38.740 --> 04:22:44.740
And Diaz both doesn't use the arrow to shoot it because he feels like he's gonna miss if he does and also doesn't bump Zac

04:22:44.740 --> 04:22:49.900
He just let Zac have it and Zac will counter attack. He committed so heavily to that fate

04:22:49.900 --> 04:22:52.820
He was just waiting for Zac to commit and Zac never did

04:22:53.580 --> 04:22:56.600
And he talked to Diaz liking it when players squirre

04:22:56.600 --> 04:23:01.900
Well, he attempted to get Zac to squirm on that one but Zac never bought, he never bit

04:23:03.580 --> 04:23:05.580
So confidence in

04:23:05.580 --> 04:23:10.620
in the biggest, you know, highest pressure game modes you're just by yourself.

04:23:10.620 --> 04:23:14.180
There's every opportunity to panic and worry about something.

04:23:14.620 --> 04:23:15.620
Zack is not doing that.

04:23:15.620 --> 04:23:16.980
He needs to be careful here.

04:23:16.980 --> 04:23:19.940
He fakes maybe a clear and it's going to drop down.

04:23:19.940 --> 04:23:21.420
Maybe he's trying to take a nice high shot.

04:23:21.420 --> 04:23:23.420
I think he's trying to get a skim.

04:23:23.620 --> 04:23:24.780
He is forcing it high.

04:23:24.780 --> 04:23:26.820
Diaz actually doesn't have a big decision.

04:23:26.820 --> 04:23:28.100
Diaz has low boost, Zack.

04:23:28.100 --> 04:23:29.100
I don't know if he knows how to ton.

04:23:29.100 --> 04:23:32.700
We know he has a ton because we can see on his name tag that he has a ton.

04:23:32.700 --> 04:23:38.700
But the last thing you want is the ball to go up high when you have a big boost disadvantage and Zach takes advantage of that.

04:23:38.700 --> 04:23:42.700
To get a 6 goal at 6-1 and it's Zach who's in the lead!

04:23:42.700 --> 04:23:49.700
Yeah, this is crazy. You tell me the scoreline. You're expecting it to be Diaz out in the lead.

04:23:49.700 --> 04:23:54.700
Diaz getting swaddled in this game.

04:23:54.700 --> 04:24:00.700
The nice bump from Zach. Diaz will secure one. He's not out of it just yet.

04:24:00.700 --> 04:24:02.940
He needed one though and found it.

04:24:02.940 --> 04:24:04.980
Yeah, the good news is we haven't even crossed half way.

04:24:04.980 --> 04:24:08.460
So he went down 6-1 without even a half time being reached

04:24:08.460 --> 04:24:09.700
for three seconds out.

04:24:09.700 --> 04:24:12.700
Diaz can absolutely bring it back,

04:24:12.700 --> 04:24:14.020
can bring in a flurry of goals.

04:24:14.020 --> 04:24:16.940
He's actually one of the slower 1v1 players,

04:24:16.940 --> 04:24:19.180
especially the candidates who made, you know,

04:24:19.180 --> 04:24:21.020
the lands last year.

04:24:21.020 --> 04:24:23.860
You see players like Nupo who are just moving around the field

04:24:23.860 --> 04:24:26.220
absolutely going as fast as possible.

04:24:26.220 --> 04:24:27.780
Yeah, despite being an aerial focused player,

04:24:27.780 --> 04:24:29.180
he's gonna try and turn and dive.

04:24:29.180 --> 04:24:37.180
He actually does it quite slowly, normally breaks you down in the air, but as slow as he can get away with it, well, not using any boost at all, it's going to not survive.

04:24:37.180 --> 04:24:44.180
Zach, Jason, and this shot on target is probably unsavable. Zach, you make it 7-2.

04:24:44.180 --> 04:24:55.180
And I think a lot of that is due to players getting uncomfortable when Diaz tries to put him in that pressure cooker, giving those resets, going low, going for the fakes.

04:24:55.180 --> 04:24:58.180
It seems like he has Diaz red.

04:24:58.180 --> 04:25:02.680
He is predicting the place that Diaz is going for

04:25:02.680 --> 04:25:05.180
and has been looking very comfortable.

04:25:05.180 --> 04:25:08.680
Also, he's been executing his play for his Hazel ball.

04:25:08.680 --> 04:25:10.680
Diaz though not giving up just yet,

04:25:10.680 --> 04:25:13.180
has enough use to go for an air dribble bump,

04:25:13.180 --> 04:25:17.680
but it's saved again over two on these air dribble buff plays by Diaz.

04:25:17.680 --> 04:25:21.180
Diaz trying to make it across the goal line two, low to the ground.

04:25:21.180 --> 04:25:24.180
Zack! Oh my goodness! What a shot!

04:25:24.180 --> 04:25:29.820
Diaz prepping in defense, he knows that there's a possibility of taking a shot, but he's expecting to be able to get back out there.

04:25:29.820 --> 04:25:34.480
Even with him on the side wall, great punish from Zack, with the way Diaz was positioning.

04:25:34.480 --> 04:25:43.180
And Diaz has had enough! He's decided to go next, a minute forty-two, down six. He wants to see game three.

04:25:43.180 --> 04:25:48.900
Back to back go next for Zach against Diaz.

04:25:48.900 --> 04:25:52.700
Did not see this one coming here.

04:25:52.700 --> 04:25:55.380
Diaz, a lot of people hyping him up

04:25:55.380 --> 04:25:58.420
as the best in the region for good reason.

04:25:58.420 --> 04:26:01.460
We saw him compete against Dubo.

04:26:01.460 --> 04:26:04.060
He was a rally, a rally last year,

04:26:04.060 --> 04:26:06.380
but couldn't get the job done there on land.

04:26:06.380 --> 04:26:09.500
But in North America, Diaz was the titan.

04:26:09.500 --> 04:26:12.580
But so far in this series, Zach has not

04:26:12.580 --> 04:26:18.300
only one of these first two games, but he has forced Diaz to go next.

04:26:19.300 --> 04:26:21.060
Yeah, this is this is domination.

04:26:21.060 --> 04:26:26.180
I mean Diaz truly needs to think about, you know, what does he need to change?

04:26:26.180 --> 04:26:27.660
How does he get to his normal game?

04:26:27.660 --> 04:26:30.940
Zach is not letting him play the kind of possession control,

04:26:31.700 --> 04:26:35.620
total aerial domination game we're used to him seeing Zach has ever on the field.

04:26:35.900 --> 04:26:38.820
And maybe there's a chance that Diaz was underestimating him.

04:26:38.820 --> 04:26:41.380
Hasn't gotten a chance to practice against him as much as others.

04:26:41.380 --> 04:26:47.280
I don't know. It depends on whether or not they've actually played each other, but Zach is not going to hold an underdog status for very long.

04:26:47.280 --> 04:26:51.480
He might have come in here not getting picked. You know, T-Bates tried to go back on his Zach pick.

04:26:51.480 --> 04:26:53.880
Now he might look like a genius if Zach keeps it going.

04:26:53.880 --> 04:26:56.980
But after this win, it's official. Zach is going to be a contender.

04:26:56.980 --> 04:26:59.680
Everyone is going to be looking at him ahead on the schedule.

04:26:59.680 --> 04:27:04.380
You're not going to be able to surprise anybody anymore, but the series isn't over.

04:27:04.380 --> 04:27:06.780
You have maybe surprised Diaz in game one and two.

04:27:06.780 --> 04:27:08.980
He knows that you can compete.

04:27:08.980 --> 04:27:12.980
We'll see if Diaz can make any adjustments as we head to DFH stadium.

04:27:12.980 --> 04:27:18.980
I think one thing that Diaz is really going to have to do is start trying to overpower that.

04:27:18.980 --> 04:27:24.980
It looks like the fakes are not working. The plays where he's slowing it down are not working.

04:27:24.980 --> 04:27:32.980
We'll see if he can just maybe do some of those trademark full field flip reset plays that we're so used to him executing.

04:27:32.980 --> 04:27:35.980
And here's a chance for it. Also in the octane now.

04:27:36.980 --> 04:27:40.980
Goes low, brings it back down to the ground, so he doesn't pull the trigger right away.

04:27:40.980 --> 04:27:42.980
But recently, he does get a bind.

04:27:43.980 --> 04:27:52.980
Yeah, this was what we were expecting to see. We thought we'd be seeing 10 straight minutes so far of Diaz hitting into an air dribble, being just way too tough to read defensively.

04:27:52.980 --> 04:27:57.620
defensively and then them just taking over or him just taking over today. It's not

04:27:57.620 --> 04:28:03.220
done. There's only one on the field as Diaz now up to the air getting bumped off.

04:28:03.220 --> 04:28:07.380
If you get a reset at ceiling height, I'm not sure it's gonna matter. Zach trying to

04:28:07.380 --> 04:28:13.620
change up probably the way that Diaz was able to score should be in now.

04:28:14.740 --> 04:28:22.220
You can see Diaz quitting the boost battle there. Zach dives in Diaz not afraid to go

04:28:22.220 --> 04:28:28.220
Go for it as well, it's bumped, and even in the play before that got bumped as well, but

04:28:28.220 --> 04:28:30.220
he just made it into the play.

04:28:30.220 --> 04:28:36.220
Kind of window skippies, take one step forward, and that is a nice little slide here from

04:28:36.220 --> 04:28:37.220
Zach.

04:28:37.220 --> 04:28:40.220
Off kickoff, we'll stop the bleeding a bit.

04:28:40.220 --> 04:28:43.220
Zach's kickoffs are well rounded.

04:28:43.220 --> 04:28:47.220
It is clear that you won't be getting the edge on him purely off the kickoff, you're

04:28:47.220 --> 04:28:53.740
to have to beat him in all the different facets of one-to-one and right now he's got himself

04:28:53.740 --> 04:28:54.740
in just a little bit closer.

04:28:54.740 --> 04:28:55.740
Diaz is able to pick up the boost.

04:28:55.740 --> 04:28:56.740
I expect Zac to have to leave.

04:28:56.740 --> 04:29:01.460
He's actually hanging out for as long as he thinks he can get away with Diaz lobbing

04:29:01.460 --> 04:29:04.220
a long shot and starting the boost steal.

04:29:04.220 --> 04:29:07.020
These are positions that Diaz normally keeps players backed in forever.

04:29:07.020 --> 04:29:08.500
We'll see if he can do this to Zac.

04:29:08.500 --> 04:29:09.500
Another great boost steal.

04:29:09.500 --> 04:29:11.500
Zac very little to work with.

04:29:11.500 --> 04:29:14.940
Maybe thought about going out to challenge there on the first bounce but now Diaz in

04:29:14.940 --> 04:29:18.600
his sweet spot needs to be converting on these and he does exactly that the

04:29:18.600 --> 04:29:23.980
wave dash sends the bottom left this is so difficult to defend because Diaz gets

04:29:23.980 --> 04:29:28.060
the reset in a perfect spot to where he could literally shoot anywhere on that

04:29:28.060 --> 04:29:32.700
net and you can and you could see that in the positioning from Zach position

04:29:32.700 --> 04:29:37.020
right in the middle because he's trying to be able to cover every angle but in

04:29:37.020 --> 04:29:40.540
the middle like that Diaz just waits until the right time to pull the trigger

04:29:40.540 --> 04:29:42.100
and it's a perfect slot.

04:29:44.100 --> 04:29:47.900
Zack, getting a low air roll to try to speed maybe

04:29:47.900 --> 04:29:49.860
the aerial game of his own going in this game.

04:29:49.860 --> 04:29:51.580
Features to reset out the back wall.

04:29:51.580 --> 04:29:53.820
Diaz able to steal it away.

04:29:53.820 --> 04:29:55.180
And now these guys are gonna fight for boost.

04:29:55.180 --> 04:29:58.220
Zack was hoping to maybe throw Diaz off this line.

04:29:58.220 --> 04:29:59.860
Diaz gets to his spot.

04:29:59.860 --> 04:30:01.140
He's not really trying to score on this attempt.

04:30:01.140 --> 04:30:02.340
He was hoping not to get undercut.

04:30:02.340 --> 04:30:03.620
He's thinking he's trying another, you know,

04:30:03.620 --> 04:30:06.540
back and forth attacking corner boost steals.

04:30:06.540 --> 04:30:07.900
Not able to steal Zack this time.

04:30:07.900 --> 04:30:10.260
So we'll be forced to back off.

04:30:10.260 --> 04:30:12.260
But the way Zach has been looking in the air,

04:30:12.260 --> 04:30:14.980
I don't think Diaz should be letting him get to too much,

04:30:14.980 --> 04:30:17.740
as he's got tons of space off the ceiling double,

04:30:17.740 --> 04:30:19.020
and it's denied by Diaz.

04:30:20.180 --> 04:30:21.860
Zach did wait for him to race to the corner,

04:30:21.860 --> 04:30:23.980
and though Diaz on the dribble,

04:30:23.980 --> 04:30:27.100
those lawn just powers to the roof!

04:30:27.100 --> 04:30:29.120
That scorched this ball to safety.

04:30:30.540 --> 04:30:33.140
Yeah, Diaz has to be willing to get dirty here.

04:30:33.140 --> 04:30:34.900
He normally prefers playing in the air,

04:30:34.900 --> 04:30:39.220
but especially if Zach is jumping high, you see Zach

04:30:39.220 --> 04:30:42.540
Jumping up in the air, doing his best to try and turn and boost back to get a good 50,

04:30:42.540 --> 04:30:47.240
but you're just never going to be able to get a strong enough 50 to be someone who's still glued to the ground,

04:30:47.240 --> 04:30:49.240
walking the ball in.

04:30:49.240 --> 04:30:51.240
So Diaz...

04:30:51.240 --> 04:30:53.240
Rubing here in this game.

04:30:53.240 --> 04:30:57.580
And now waiting for Zack to leave. He's expecting, after grabbing all the boosts on the map that Zack was,

04:30:57.580 --> 04:31:01.780
eventually going to give him the ball, but Zack refuses to leave and gets his goal!

04:31:03.040 --> 04:31:04.040
Zack...

04:31:04.040 --> 04:31:09.380
getting his hands dirty as well here, battling the trenches for that one.

04:31:09.380 --> 04:31:14.880
Yeah, it's bumps too and just plumps right into position to keep the play going.

04:31:14.880 --> 04:31:20.380
I was back looking for some more kickoffs, but Diaz just wins a straight-to-back

04:31:20.380 --> 04:31:26.880
wall-faring weak kickoff there from Zack as Diaz gets a three-goal lead once again.

04:31:26.880 --> 04:31:33.880
Right back off the kickoff and I think this game is this more along the lines of what you're expecting

04:31:33.880 --> 04:31:36.120
from Diaz in this matchup here?

04:31:36.120 --> 04:31:39.120
Yeah, I think, you know, this game by itself is something

04:31:39.120 --> 04:31:41.480
that would likely represent the series who seems to act

04:31:41.480 --> 04:31:42.720
through, you know, a couple of nice plays,

04:31:42.720 --> 04:31:44.400
but it should be dominating.

04:31:44.400 --> 04:31:46.000
But mind you, look at the scoreboard.

04:31:46.000 --> 04:31:50.760
It's Zach, who is actually the one who has been dictating this series.

04:31:50.760 --> 04:31:52.640
Not just sneaking away wins to his

04:31:52.640 --> 04:31:55.040
from playing a really strong, well-rounded one's game.

04:31:55.040 --> 04:31:58.480
Diaz into the air, switching up for a 50 this time.

04:31:58.480 --> 04:32:01.000
And he likes extra coverings, you know, more often than not.

04:32:01.000 --> 04:32:07.560
he is escaping after one attack on Diaz allowing him to get extended ones and that's a big deal

04:32:07.560 --> 04:32:13.240
the reason why he's been able to beat Diaz. Not only getting those first two wins but

04:32:13.240 --> 04:32:20.040
fortunately go next to that of Diaz as well. If he didn't have that it might be go hard. Diaz

04:32:23.480 --> 04:32:26.680
play out his own back where he looks powerful on that flick.

04:32:26.680 --> 04:32:34.680
Yeah, Sack looks like, I thought Sack was going to be going to challenge as Diaz came to the ground, but he knows Diaz is more than capable of popping it over the top of him.

04:32:34.680 --> 04:32:42.680
Ultimately, he's accessed Sack's side of the shadow as Diaz lands. It's such a great flick from Diaz, starting that dribble all the way from his own back wall.

04:32:42.680 --> 04:32:48.680
He did stop well shorter than that, but managed to convert all the same. Now he's forcing the issue, which I think is a good mix-up.

04:32:48.680 --> 04:32:51.680
He's been playing into his aerial game exclusively.

04:32:51.680 --> 04:32:55.180
The more we see him, you keep Zach guessing by just taking it straight towards the net.

04:32:55.180 --> 04:32:56.680
The better. Great save from Zach.

04:32:56.680 --> 04:32:58.680
He actually landed on the inside of his net.

04:32:58.680 --> 04:33:00.680
But it's still going to be D.S. with control.

04:33:00.680 --> 04:33:02.680
Another chance in the air. Zach will have 100 boost.

04:33:02.680 --> 04:33:05.680
D.S. pretty heavy first touch. Zach might be able to take advantage of that.

04:33:05.680 --> 04:33:08.680
He's forced this down and might be able to pop it out.

04:33:08.680 --> 04:33:11.680
Since you guys fight back and forth, Zach should be able to get back this one.

04:33:13.680 --> 04:33:17.680
Zach won't get the 100 boost though as D.S. takes that away from him.

04:33:18.680 --> 04:33:21.680
Zach, trying to pick up some small pats.

04:33:21.680 --> 04:33:25.680
Trying to keep it close with the reset, but it ended up not working out.

04:33:26.680 --> 04:33:30.680
Yeah, it's not the worst idea ever. He's in such a tough spot.

04:33:30.680 --> 04:33:34.680
He's hoping that he gets a wave dash or something that he can stick with the ball

04:33:34.680 --> 04:33:38.680
instead of just handing it over to Diaz and continuing to possession.

04:33:38.680 --> 04:33:43.680
Something that you'll just see a ton in ones are with how high scoring it is.

04:33:43.680 --> 04:33:46.680
You know, ball going in your net. It's sometimes not the worst thing ever.

04:33:46.680 --> 04:33:48.880
You collectively make the right decisions

04:33:48.880 --> 04:33:50.520
Wait a second, Zach going for a double reset.

04:33:50.520 --> 04:33:52.920
Diaz this time has it completely red.

04:33:52.920 --> 04:33:55.040
So he will counter it, press it mechanically.

04:33:55.040 --> 04:33:57.520
But it's about, you know,

04:33:57.520 --> 04:33:59.160
raking somebody down or making the right choice

04:33:59.160 --> 04:34:01.600
that one out of five times goes your way

04:34:01.600 --> 04:34:03.120
when there seems like there otherwise would be a good

04:34:03.120 --> 04:34:03.960
actual left to get a raise.

04:34:03.960 --> 04:34:05.840
There's pretty much no way to get out of it.

04:34:05.840 --> 04:34:09.120
You might as well go for the one in a million

04:34:09.120 --> 04:34:10.800
that lets you make it out alive.

04:34:12.640 --> 04:34:15.160
Diaz, gonna get a forfeit at Zach.

04:34:15.160 --> 04:34:19.360
Yeah, so Diaz though will bounce right back.

04:34:19.360 --> 04:34:22.120
And that was a big, big game there for your Zach,

04:34:22.120 --> 04:34:24.360
looked to be on a roll.

04:34:24.360 --> 04:34:26.440
He saw Diaz back to back go next,

04:34:26.440 --> 04:34:27.440
dropped out of the lobby,

04:34:27.440 --> 04:34:30.760
switches to Octane and apparently that's the answer.

04:34:30.760 --> 04:34:33.400
Yeah, well I've seen Diaz play a good amount of both.

04:34:33.400 --> 04:34:35.920
He's definitely a player that is willing to bounce back

04:34:35.920 --> 04:34:39.080
and forth. Historically, the Octane had done so well

04:34:39.080 --> 04:34:40.280
over in North American ones.

04:34:40.280 --> 04:34:42.840
The Fennec is the car of ones for the most part

04:34:42.840 --> 04:34:45.200
And it's played heavily in MENA and EU,

04:34:45.200 --> 04:34:48.680
but we've seen the first killers, the Daniels, now the DSs

04:34:48.680 --> 04:34:49.720
do it in the octane.

04:34:49.720 --> 04:34:54.200
And I think for America, they prefer their octane a little more

04:34:54.200 --> 04:34:55.040
than everybody else.

04:34:55.040 --> 04:34:57.680
Maybe I assume DS will be sticking with it

04:34:57.680 --> 04:35:00.280
as he continues to get wins in the series.

04:35:00.280 --> 04:35:03.400
I was just looking to switch something up who didn't look

04:35:03.400 --> 04:35:04.600
like he was on his game.

04:35:04.600 --> 04:35:10.320
Also out shooting Zach, 15 to 6 in this game.

04:35:10.320 --> 04:35:14.480
Interestingly, no demos on either side.

04:35:14.480 --> 04:35:17.120
And normally, especially in the 2v2s,

04:35:17.120 --> 04:35:21.040
we saw tons of demos from both of their teams.

04:35:21.040 --> 04:35:24.880
Zac and Reveal, then Diaz was actually teaming with Evo.

04:35:24.880 --> 04:35:27.360
And probably had the most entertaining 2v2

04:35:27.360 --> 04:35:31.280
matchup that we'd seen in that whole tournament.

04:35:31.280 --> 04:35:36.000
But here, Diaz and Zac lining up were expecting Diaz

04:35:36.000 --> 04:35:37.040
to get that revenge.

04:35:37.040 --> 04:35:38.280
So far, it hasn't been the case.

04:35:38.280 --> 04:35:44.000
Zach out to early two game lead before Diaz finally answers back.

04:35:45.700 --> 04:35:47.520
Now the question on everyone's fine as well.

04:35:47.520 --> 04:35:50.160
Diaz, you play him like that this game so far.

04:35:50.160 --> 04:35:52.280
Zach, opening it up for the kickoff goal.

04:35:53.440 --> 04:35:56.520
Yeah, Zach just gets the better standard kickoff.

04:35:56.520 --> 04:35:58.240
He would push it off to this right side, right?

04:35:58.520 --> 04:36:00.200
It's the red basket for the power shots.

04:36:00.800 --> 04:36:02.760
It's interesting that you pointed out no demos.

04:36:02.760 --> 04:36:06.920
Those are something that do happen a lot in ones.

04:36:06.920 --> 04:36:10.920
And it's actually kind of rare to see neither one of these players going for it.

04:36:10.920 --> 04:36:16.920
We knew it would be an aerial focused battle, but at some point you have to be willing to get dirty, to go for a demo here and there.

04:36:16.920 --> 04:36:25.920
It's great to actually follow up with after failed or somewhat failed aerial attacks where you force out a save and then take advantage of their poor positioning.

04:36:25.920 --> 04:36:31.920
And Diaz maybe slightly went for a bump there, but definitely players preferring boosts over all else.

04:36:31.920 --> 04:36:33.920
as Diaz tried to keep Zac pinned back.

04:36:33.920 --> 04:36:35.160
He was hoping Zac would over rotate,

04:36:35.160 --> 04:36:36.560
and he could chip it around him.

04:36:36.560 --> 04:36:38.040
Zac has no moves to work with,

04:36:38.040 --> 04:36:40.240
but Diaz could put it in a spot where Zac could save it.

04:36:40.240 --> 04:36:41.640
There was a sweet spot where Diaz

04:36:41.640 --> 04:36:43.280
probably could have prevented the save,

04:36:43.280 --> 04:36:44.440
but Zac stays alive.

04:36:45.720 --> 04:36:47.800
Remarkable that Zac is still in this play.

04:36:47.800 --> 04:36:50.920
You talk about working your way out of a difficult situation,

04:36:50.920 --> 04:36:52.920
but Zac jumped off the wall,

04:36:52.920 --> 04:36:55.960
and you could, I don't know if the viewers could see it,

04:36:55.960 --> 04:36:58.440
but the oof quick chat back to back.

04:36:58.440 --> 04:37:08.440
I don't know if he was trying to dash or something to start but he just jumped off the wall floating away, double-jumped himself.

04:37:08.440 --> 04:37:16.440
Maybe he jumped a little bit too early and his momentum carried him up. Like he definitely was still on the...uh, going up the curve.

04:37:16.440 --> 04:37:21.440
because it didn't look like he even tried to jump again the second time.

04:37:21.440 --> 04:37:25.440
So, not quite sure now, we'll give up another one.

04:37:25.440 --> 04:37:31.440
A rough little go there for Zac after that missed input.

04:37:31.440 --> 04:37:39.440
That is back to making Zac look like he's lost, trying to defend him.

04:37:39.440 --> 04:37:43.440
Only it's tough to score from that close of an angle when you're dribbling like that.

04:37:43.440 --> 04:37:47.840
like that. When someone can challenge off the back wall and get to the ball, you know,

04:37:47.840 --> 04:37:50.720
in a half second, it can be tough to keep them away from him. If he has to find a way

04:37:50.720 --> 04:37:56.960
to do so, and now at air dribble bump, he is finding his offense here in the last two games.

04:37:56.960 --> 04:38:03.360
Finally connects. This is at least his third time going for the play. This time gets extra height.

04:38:03.360 --> 04:38:07.760
That's the one thing is you need to get height on those air dribble bump plays. Otherwise,

04:38:07.760 --> 04:38:11.760
let's see what happens before. Is that going to stay grounded? Go underneath the bump, catch it,

04:38:11.760 --> 04:38:21.120
dribble it out. That one was a perfect execution there by Diaz. Diaz is looking to be informed

04:38:21.120 --> 04:38:28.640
and Zack step up. He's competing against Diaz when he's playing at this level. Diaz got a reset.

04:38:28.640 --> 04:38:32.960
He jumped with the back wall but that was a mix up that Diaz is more likely to do than anybody

04:38:32.960 --> 04:38:37.600
else. You saw him with a possession as he makes a great save in Zack's half. First thought in his

04:38:37.600 --> 04:38:41.440
his mind was I'm taking this to my own back wall. Usually players you know don't

04:38:41.440 --> 04:38:44.560
want to do that and they don't want to give up that kind of space. Diaz likes it.

04:38:44.560 --> 04:38:48.520
Put this right where Zac can save it and now save. Very impressive. Diaz can try and

04:38:48.520 --> 04:38:51.760
drop it left or right in order to take advantage of the fact that it's so hard

04:38:51.760 --> 04:38:56.600
to move laterally after you've committed in and out but Diaz is expecting Zac to

04:38:56.600 --> 04:39:01.200
still not be able to handle the shot on target. Now both of them have boost Diaz.

04:39:01.200 --> 04:39:05.800
Finally has Zac on the ropes and what a great catch. So many different fakes in

04:39:05.800 --> 04:39:10.360
to get this to the bottom right. And this is exactly what you were alluding to before.

04:39:10.360 --> 04:39:15.640
He gets those resets in those awkward positions and just waits for his opponent to commit.

04:39:15.640 --> 04:39:20.200
It's almost like when you see players taking penalty shots trying to get the goalie to die

04:39:21.000 --> 04:39:28.520
so they can just knock it in. He has so good at doing that. And it's in big contrast as he

04:39:28.520 --> 04:39:33.800
chases down here and just steals this ball from Zach. It's in contrast to earlier when we saw him

04:39:33.800 --> 04:39:36.920
Go for that aerial shot fake that did not work at all.

04:39:36.920 --> 04:39:39.880
You know, Zack stayed completely moved to the ground and was not afraid of it.

04:39:39.880 --> 04:39:43.720
It's all about how you get the setups and how you can threaten everything.

04:39:43.720 --> 04:39:48.600
So even though, you know, Diaz was air rolling, he could also just let the ball roll in safely.

04:39:48.600 --> 04:39:51.800
So maybe not the case last time around. He was trying that.

04:39:51.800 --> 04:39:55.160
So that's what makes Zack have such a tough time deciding what to do.

04:39:55.160 --> 04:39:57.400
Right now he has only a kickoff goal here in this game.

04:39:57.400 --> 04:39:59.480
He got one kickoff goal. I think maybe to start it.

04:39:59.480 --> 04:40:03.640
So it might have been five straight, but it's going to get a little bit more offence this time through the air.

04:40:03.640 --> 04:40:09.240
And this is a bit interesting because Zach, when he gets the reset, actually flips away from the ball.

04:40:09.240 --> 04:40:14.120
Get some discons in that, a lot of them to get a challenge on it and push it forward.

04:40:15.720 --> 04:40:20.840
A little bit unorthodox there, don't know if that was the plan, but it worked out well.

04:40:22.360 --> 04:40:26.680
Diaz's been a great kick up and not quite good enough that he can follow it up,

04:40:26.680 --> 04:40:30.600
but he's gotten four boosts, so Zach's gonna have to defend on pads, double reset for Diaz.

04:40:30.600 --> 04:40:35.460
This time he does shoot and his crossbar down and in Zach was in the right spot, but the placement was just too good

04:40:36.120 --> 04:40:38.280
Dumbel into a dinger right off the bar

04:40:39.920 --> 04:40:41.920
So smooth with it. Oh

04:40:43.240 --> 04:40:45.240
That's got to be a tough play

04:40:46.680 --> 04:40:50.960
He is only doing his double resets while traveling the length of the entire field

04:40:50.960 --> 04:40:52.800
He can also do it when he starts it in the corner

04:40:52.800 --> 04:40:55.320
He missed this one though and again, you guys can't see the quickchats

04:40:55.320 --> 04:41:00.240
He drops himself an OMG immediately after he misses it so clearly he thinks he should have had it now

04:41:00.240 --> 04:41:05.360
can be forced back on defense. Zach will flick it over the top of them and will keep this one

04:41:05.360 --> 04:41:11.440
within arms reach. And based on the quick chat it seems like the vibes are pretty good between

04:41:11.440 --> 04:41:18.720
both of these two. It seems like they're having fun out there here. Maybe it gets a little bit

04:41:18.720 --> 04:41:23.600
different when you're playing your teammate. Yeah for sure. Diaz is the one that I think

04:41:23.600 --> 04:41:28.720
could potentially suffer from that because you know if these guys, two caters will be having too

04:41:28.720 --> 04:41:32.200
too much fun, you know, the favorites, maybe Diaz gets too relaxed.

04:41:32.720 --> 04:41:36.520
So we might see a crazy lock in and no more quick jets towards the end of the

04:41:36.520 --> 04:41:40.160
series if Diaz starts to struggle, but for now, I'm sure he feels like he's

04:41:40.160 --> 04:41:40.960
good in his position.

04:41:40.960 --> 04:41:41.480
This is great.

04:41:41.760 --> 04:41:44.360
50 from Zach, who saw Diaz diving out.

04:41:44.360 --> 04:41:46.720
I mean, the lead's starting to shrink.

04:41:48.480 --> 04:41:53.640
I think we might see that lock in this game if Zach can manage to get another one here.

04:41:53.640 --> 04:42:01.240
This is a good view denial from Diaz to make this difficult and the demo dodged, Zach will

04:42:01.240 --> 04:42:03.240
have to run on his fall pads here.

04:42:03.240 --> 04:42:08.760
Diaz, I feel like there's been moments when he could play the physical game, especially

04:42:08.760 --> 04:42:09.760
with Zach low on boost.

04:42:09.760 --> 04:42:14.080
He could maybe have tried to go in and throw him off on a recovery or catch a demo, but

04:42:14.080 --> 04:42:15.320
it's clear what Diaz wants to do.

04:42:15.320 --> 04:42:17.000
He wants to play the boost starvation game.

04:42:17.000 --> 04:42:20.720
He's be lining to each boost as soon as he feels that Diaz in advantage.

04:42:20.720 --> 04:42:23.940
to make sure Zach is starved out and in this case it works out really well and

04:42:23.940 --> 04:42:27.580
beats him up to the field with nothing and then Diaz can play it over the top

04:42:27.580 --> 04:42:31.100
of him and huge kickoff win for Diaz this time he will be able to finish it

04:42:31.100 --> 04:42:33.160
and he gets two in a row.

04:42:33.160 --> 04:42:39.640
Really clean here from Diaz. Diaz making this style work as well. You wonder if he

04:42:39.640 --> 04:42:45.620
just pick it up trying to overpower Zach but no he's just sticking to his game plan.

04:42:45.620 --> 04:42:49.620
Seems like the Octane really wants a solution for him, at least mentally.

04:42:51.620 --> 04:42:55.620
So he had just one demo, as DS gets to recovery demo here.

04:42:55.620 --> 04:43:02.620
Or Sackback. Now DS faking, and this is what DS does. He builds up a resume of attacks in the air.

04:43:02.620 --> 04:43:07.620
You don't know what he's going to go for then. You can just do nothing and let it bounce in.

04:43:07.620 --> 04:43:13.620
And you can see Zack even jumping in anticipation for the shot that never came.

04:43:15.620 --> 04:43:18.620
This one slipped away from Zack.

04:43:18.620 --> 04:43:22.620
It feels like the control of the series has swapped back over to Zack.

04:43:22.620 --> 04:43:24.620
The first couple of games wasn't just winning.

04:43:24.620 --> 04:43:27.620
It was clearly dictating everything that we saw on the field.

04:43:27.620 --> 04:43:29.620
We started to worry if Diaz were a fit,

04:43:29.620 --> 04:43:32.620
but in the last two games Diaz back in control in the mid.

04:43:32.620 --> 04:43:37.620
We just have a history of watching an in-form, in-control Diaz secure win.

04:43:37.620 --> 04:43:41.620
So when I see Diaz playing as well as Diaz right now,

04:43:41.620 --> 04:43:46.900
You know, I'm ready to swap back to be as paper, preflip flicked from Diaz, he's going to put a top left.

04:43:47.460 --> 04:43:48.740
Ah, this is gorgeous.

04:43:49.380 --> 04:43:50.340
Look at the height of it.

04:43:51.060 --> 04:43:54.980
You need, this is multiple flips here from Diaz.

04:43:55.540 --> 04:43:58.020
It's the double reset, preflip flicked there.

04:43:59.140 --> 04:43:59.860
Make a beauty.

04:44:00.820 --> 04:44:05.140
You know, we've had four fits in every game so far, and yet, we don't have one yet.

04:44:05.140 --> 04:44:05.700
11-4.

04:44:05.700 --> 04:44:07.620
I think this might be a stubborn player from Zach.

04:44:08.980 --> 04:44:11.060
Well, you might.

04:44:11.620 --> 04:44:16.380
score this, it's a tough angle, no Diaz will cover us, so there's gonna be 36 seconds of

04:44:16.380 --> 04:44:20.460
just, you know, this possession guaranteed now. It's gonna take a bit before

04:44:20.460 --> 04:44:24.460
anybody's able to score it, or maybe Diaz will go a little too high, so not quite a full 30 seconds.

04:44:24.460 --> 04:44:26.660
Diaz drops himself a great pass!

04:44:26.660 --> 04:44:30.580
Into thanks, and then Zach responds with, oof, be careful!

04:44:30.580 --> 04:44:34.580
He carried me down, I think.

04:44:34.580 --> 04:44:41.100
a little smile on the scribble space or a deck face and it's as he drops that.

04:44:43.740 --> 04:44:46.820
I don't know if Diaz has to be careful.

04:44:46.820 --> 04:44:49.300
I think he's going to be OK, at least in this game.

04:44:49.300 --> 04:44:52.620
Zack has shown that he is a threat in the series for sure.

04:44:53.020 --> 04:44:56.260
But I would expect him to be able to finish this one out as Diaz just kind of

04:44:56.580 --> 04:44:59.740
freestyle drifting on his other side of the field.

04:45:00.220 --> 04:45:02.700
It is all Diaz is right now.

04:45:02.700 --> 04:45:06.620
Now these guys have timeouts. We saw some boxes earlier. It didn't really help them out

04:45:06.740 --> 04:45:08.740
It's two straight losses for Zach

04:45:08.820 --> 04:45:13.300
Not sure if you want a bigger break or not or just the time in between the lobbies is gonna be good enough

04:45:13.300 --> 04:45:15.300
But Diaz on a roll

04:45:15.620 --> 04:45:18.420
It does look like Zach will be calling a timeout

04:45:19.740 --> 04:45:21.740
after this one other

04:45:22.380 --> 04:45:24.420
Very impressive game here from Diaz

04:45:24.940 --> 04:45:30.780
Zach was doing so well in the first games shutting down Diaz who was trying to make him swarm trying to

04:45:30.780 --> 04:45:33.020
He's been able to make them out, Zack.

04:45:33.020 --> 04:45:35.060
It wasn't working against them then, but now Diaz,

04:45:35.060 --> 04:45:38.380
I think, has just slowly built up that mix of attack.

04:45:38.380 --> 04:45:40.860
He's been able to everpower Zack.

04:45:40.860 --> 04:45:43.740
He's been able to successfully fake him out.

04:45:43.740 --> 04:45:46.940
It feels like Diaz is really in his element right now here,

04:45:46.940 --> 04:45:49.140
and this is pretty toughness to stop.

04:45:49.140 --> 04:45:51.820
Yeah, and I think the way that he clawed his way back into this,

04:45:51.820 --> 04:45:53.020
you know, he's always good.

04:45:53.020 --> 04:45:55.500
He has a chance to get to his full field air jubbles

04:45:55.500 --> 04:45:57.020
or any sort of air jubble in general.

04:45:57.020 --> 04:46:00.060
But a lot of the midfield play was actually favoring Zack.

04:46:00.060 --> 04:46:00.980
he was speeding to balls.

04:46:00.980 --> 04:46:02.900
He was surprising Diaz with the challenges.

04:46:02.900 --> 04:46:05.060
And Diaz was getting maybe not the best first touches

04:46:05.060 --> 04:46:07.340
that were allowing Zach to take advantage of that.

04:46:07.340 --> 04:46:09.020
In this game, by now in game four,

04:46:09.020 --> 04:46:11.060
we've seen the opposite be true.

04:46:11.060 --> 04:46:14.660
Diaz has realized that Zach is going to be rushing plays.

04:46:14.660 --> 04:46:16.060
He's going to be on ball.

04:46:16.060 --> 04:46:18.780
And Diaz has gotten up to that challenge

04:46:18.780 --> 04:46:20.820
and been ready for it, doing a little bit of that on his own.

04:46:20.820 --> 04:46:22.580
And he's starting to win midfield battles on top

04:46:22.580 --> 04:46:26.940
of his aerial game, which is so solid and always will be.

04:46:26.940 --> 04:46:30.380
Now you wonder if Zack's going to be able to have an adjustment

04:46:30.380 --> 04:46:33.460
to maybe tip things back in his favor

04:46:33.460 --> 04:46:38.100
or if Diaz will run away with this one.

04:46:38.100 --> 04:46:42.700
Diaz, like you were mentioning, fear, just dominating

04:46:42.700 --> 04:46:45.700
in that midfield presence, dominating the boost game,

04:46:45.700 --> 04:46:50.180
getting those gaps, getting that space between him and Zack.

04:46:50.180 --> 04:46:55.020
And he's been putting, going to work with that space.

04:46:55.020 --> 04:46:58.520
Very impressive performances back to back now from Diaz.

04:46:58.520 --> 04:47:03.220
I think that game was another go next game that Zach maybe didn't call

04:47:03.220 --> 04:47:05.480
because he was perhaps thinking about next game.

04:47:05.480 --> 04:47:08.860
Also calling a timeout after this one, just trying to regroup

04:47:09.360 --> 04:47:11.660
get some type of momentum going into this next one.

04:47:12.560 --> 04:47:17.000
I like to imagine that Zach and Diaz are both in the SSG group chat right now.

04:47:17.300 --> 04:47:17.500
Yeah.

04:47:17.500 --> 04:47:17.540
Yeah.

04:47:17.540 --> 04:47:17.560
Yeah.

04:47:17.560 --> 04:47:17.580
Yeah.

04:47:17.580 --> 04:47:17.600
Yeah.

04:47:17.600 --> 04:47:17.640
Yeah.

04:47:17.640 --> 04:47:17.660
Yeah.

04:47:17.660 --> 04:47:17.680
Yeah.

04:47:17.680 --> 04:47:17.700
Yeah.

04:47:17.700 --> 04:47:17.720
Yeah.

04:47:17.720 --> 04:47:17.740
Yeah.

04:47:17.740 --> 04:47:17.760
Yeah.

04:47:17.760 --> 04:47:17.780
Yeah.

04:47:17.780 --> 04:47:17.800
Yeah.

04:47:17.800 --> 04:47:17.840
Yeah.

04:47:17.840 --> 04:47:17.860
Yeah.

04:47:17.860 --> 04:47:17.880
Yeah.

04:47:17.880 --> 04:47:17.900
Yeah.

04:47:17.900 --> 04:47:17.920
Yeah.

04:47:17.920 --> 04:47:17.940
Yeah.

04:47:17.940 --> 04:47:17.960
Yeah.

04:47:17.960 --> 04:47:18.000
Yeah.

04:47:18.000 --> 04:47:18.080
Yeah.

04:47:18.080 --> 04:47:18.100
Yeah.

04:47:18.100 --> 04:47:18.120
Yeah.

04:47:18.120 --> 04:47:18.200
Yeah.

04:47:18.200 --> 04:47:18.240
Yeah.

04:47:18.240 --> 04:47:18.300
Yeah.

04:47:18.300 --> 04:47:18.400
Yeah.

04:47:18.400 --> 04:47:18.500
Yeah.

04:47:18.500 --> 04:47:18.600
Yeah.

04:47:18.600 --> 04:47:18.700
Yeah.

04:47:18.700 --> 04:47:18.800
Yeah.

04:47:25.020 --> 04:47:31.580
Clearly, they're looking for some help, for some answer, but they're out here all by themselves

04:47:31.580 --> 04:47:32.580
on the field.

04:47:32.580 --> 04:47:35.580
Nobody can clutch it up for them except for themselves.

04:47:35.580 --> 04:47:36.580
Diaz on a run.

04:47:36.580 --> 04:47:37.580
Can he continue that run?

04:47:37.580 --> 04:47:38.580
Two straight game wins.

04:47:38.580 --> 04:47:44.380
Have we forgotten how Zach has been able to go up against this North American 1v1 Titan

04:47:44.380 --> 04:47:45.380
from Brazil?

04:47:45.380 --> 04:47:50.380
We'll have a chance to show it and part the free.

04:47:50.380 --> 04:47:58.380
Back here off the side, it's the reset, back down to the ground, look at the way that floats, and you can do that before.

04:47:58.380 --> 04:48:04.380
Almost toward off the way, that shot, but now Diaz will take a turn off the sidebar.

04:48:04.380 --> 04:48:08.380
It's the reset, pushing forward quickly, but Zach with a well-timed challenge.

04:48:08.380 --> 04:48:18.380
And now a misflip from Diaz does get the touch up to the corner to battle for the corner boost, but look at how much they're working out of there.

04:48:18.380 --> 04:48:25.380
He was intentionally using a flip to kind of shoot almost away from the net to get Zach to miss.

04:48:25.380 --> 04:48:28.380
He saw Zach's challenge and trying to play around it.

04:48:28.380 --> 04:48:31.380
Zach still made contact with huge friends of Zach.

04:48:31.380 --> 04:48:34.380
Defensively as he makes a defensive mistake, talked about it too much.

04:48:34.380 --> 04:48:37.380
Dia's going to get one of the easier ones he'll have in this game.

04:48:37.380 --> 04:48:41.380
He has stays in play picking up small pads, picking up small pads,

04:48:41.380 --> 04:48:43.380
and then you can see the miss flip from Zach.

04:48:43.380 --> 04:48:47.060
We see a few mechanical mis-inputs from Zach.

04:48:47.060 --> 04:48:51.100
You remember that one challenge last game where he went sailing by,

04:48:51.100 --> 04:48:54.060
and now we can see a kickoff goal here for Diaz.

04:48:54.060 --> 04:48:56.700
So the punishment keeps on coming.

04:48:56.700 --> 04:48:59.580
Yeah, we have seen decent kickoff points from Zach to start,

04:48:59.580 --> 04:49:04.900
but now Diaz has forced a few different to this right side wall

04:49:04.900 --> 04:49:06.220
in order to just get ball straight.

04:49:06.220 --> 04:49:09.900
And then normally, we've seen a lot less of anything we did once upon a time.

04:49:09.900 --> 04:49:13.900
And you know, they, we see tons of those direct goals headed straight to Nett.

04:49:13.900 --> 04:49:16.900
Players for the most part have found ways to counter or mitigate.

04:49:16.900 --> 04:49:19.900
That just means delay and not the play of the standard kickoff.

04:49:19.900 --> 04:49:22.900
But we've seen a few now for Diaz. He's going to go back to what we've seen him do a ton of times.

04:49:22.900 --> 04:49:23.900
It's a full field air dribble.

04:49:23.900 --> 04:49:25.900
He doesn't make it to the Nett without hitting the ground,

04:49:25.900 --> 04:49:27.900
but it doesn't matter because he gets past that.

04:49:27.900 --> 04:49:29.900
That gets the reset.

04:49:29.900 --> 04:49:32.900
Scary position here. Could shoot that right on Nett.

04:49:32.900 --> 04:49:35.900
Forces that, stay grounded, brings it down to the ground.

04:49:35.900 --> 04:49:41.900
I think that's one thing that I'm seeing for Diaz is he loves to take every inch that people give him.

04:49:42.900 --> 04:49:50.900
He's great at reading and he will not get stuck in a predetermined aerial setup.

04:49:50.900 --> 04:49:54.900
You know, he will play based on what the defender is doing.

04:49:54.900 --> 04:49:58.900
He wants to demo now on the space, really touch high, trying to face Zac up in the air.

04:49:58.900 --> 04:50:00.900
Zac trying to fall back down. We saw him crazy highlight.

04:50:00.900 --> 04:50:03.900
Play from him yesterday, but he made a save like that.

04:50:03.900 --> 04:50:07.020
that this time the ball's off target so he's not going to need to get a touch.

04:50:07.020 --> 04:50:11.340
Diaz has a recent attack and now he loves these but Diaz moves this ball to the right.

04:50:11.340 --> 04:50:14.120
You need to get as much lateral movement and cross that angle of

04:50:14.120 --> 04:50:16.340
Zack who is already committed going into the net.

04:50:17.460 --> 04:50:20.500
And up front here's Zack going for a squishy save.

04:50:21.500 --> 04:50:26.460
And a lot of times when you see someone going for a squishy save the play is to go low.

04:50:26.460 --> 04:50:28.220
Hardest type of corner, go low.

04:50:28.220 --> 04:50:30.220
You get on the ground if possible.

04:50:30.220 --> 04:50:36.220
Perfect execution here from Diaz, he's trying to take the ground to air right into the air dribble.

04:50:36.220 --> 04:50:42.220
Zack will pitch out forward, he's gonna do two towards net and it looks like he could be enough.

04:50:42.220 --> 04:50:45.220
Oh Diaz saves it off his own post.

04:50:45.220 --> 04:50:49.220
Pressure saved on the recovery Diaz, he quickly picked a pad to try and stop.

04:50:49.220 --> 04:50:53.220
Zack in the air, but Zack with a hundred, attacking a low piece of fender.

04:50:53.220 --> 04:50:57.220
Honestly either way in this series, you swap this Diaz, you can do this as well.

04:50:57.220 --> 04:51:02.900
too good at reading what the defense is throwing at them. Zack gets the double and is on the

04:51:02.900 --> 04:51:05.860
board. It took him almost two minutes, but it does get one.

04:51:07.700 --> 04:51:08.740
We'll be able to get another.

04:51:10.820 --> 04:51:15.140
De-Ans, he let it bounce. Besides, we're trying to get this unit loose. Doesn't get it.

04:51:15.700 --> 04:51:18.260
Back to us all the way to the corner and now we'll jump to the ceiling.

04:51:19.780 --> 04:51:22.900
And the ground pitch from De-Ans takes that down.

04:51:22.900 --> 04:51:32.900
This is such a great 50 in the air here, Zack decides to challenge up high DSCs where he's coming from and just muscles the ball through.

04:51:32.900 --> 04:51:35.900
He also didn't take it as high as possible once upon a time.

04:51:35.900 --> 04:51:40.900
We saw everybody taking the turtle as high as they could go because that was the best way to avoid any defender.

04:51:40.900 --> 04:51:44.900
Now the ceiling challenge is so frequent that you actually need to keep it a little bit underneath the ceiling.

04:51:44.900 --> 04:51:51.900
ceiling. Make sure the challenge is tough. Over the top, Diaz, 50s hits it down, fix the demo here in the midfield.

04:51:51.900 --> 04:51:54.900
That respawns perfectly! What a goal!

04:51:54.900 --> 04:52:02.900
Wow! And it's the demo. That is crazy. Literally got the touch on the fall off respawn.

04:52:02.900 --> 04:52:12.900
Beautiful. He turned it into a goal. Making a highlight play. If this pedestrian gets him one, he's not going to be able to score here. Diaz backflips and counters.

04:52:12.900 --> 04:52:17.900
So not only is it not a goal, it's going to be a use, it's not going to fight to that aerial at 6-1.

04:52:17.900 --> 04:52:28.900
I think it's starting to look a bit grim here for Zac to not opt to such a good start here against Diaz, but Diaz has made the adjustments.

04:52:28.900 --> 04:52:33.900
He's been able to maintain control successfully, boost star.

04:52:33.900 --> 04:52:39.900
He's been able to overpower Zac, make himself unreadable.

04:52:39.900 --> 04:52:42.900
Get back into that power position that he's so used to.

04:52:43.900 --> 04:52:46.900
You can see Zach here, battling up low boost.

04:52:47.900 --> 04:52:53.900
This is a very one-sided game, turning into a one-sided series despite the strong start from Zach.

04:52:54.900 --> 04:52:58.900
Yeah, Zach, gonna take a kickoff, see if he can get something going with a possession in his corner.

04:52:58.900 --> 04:53:02.900
He is challenging off the ceiling, taking it away. Everything is going his way.

04:53:02.900 --> 04:53:05.900
He's just turned it up and he's brought the heat, he's brought the speed.

04:53:05.900 --> 04:53:11.260
the speed. Zach maybe surprised them a little bit early. You know, what he was going to be doing,

04:53:11.260 --> 04:53:15.740
what he was going to be going for. Diaz recognizing the challenge and has come to meet it and has

04:53:15.740 --> 04:53:20.940
just completely stuffed out Zach. I mean, we saw four of us in the previous games and the last game

04:53:20.940 --> 04:53:25.500
was maybe the most one-sided affair. Zach decided to stick it out. He's going to see that again.

04:53:26.300 --> 04:53:27.660
Again, it's Diaz's nomination.

04:53:27.660 --> 04:53:42.660
He's gonna have to get some sort of momentum going to tournament point after Diaz gets this game.

04:53:42.660 --> 04:53:52.660
It is certainly possible, but it's just not very likely.

04:53:52.660 --> 04:53:54.660
Two different mentalities.

04:53:54.660 --> 04:53:56.660
It is a good point.

04:53:56.660 --> 04:53:58.660
The DS has already got the edge big time.

04:53:58.660 --> 04:54:02.660
So if you try to avoid DS getting a mental boost from a book with nice recovery chance,

04:54:02.660 --> 04:54:05.660
it seems to be really strong yet for covering back for saves.

04:54:05.660 --> 04:54:08.660
But the DS already has all the mental advantage and forfeit.

04:54:08.660 --> 04:54:14.660
I don't know if it will change that much, so maybe it is on fact to just see if we can ship away at that advantage.

04:54:14.660 --> 04:54:20.660
Is there any weakness? Is there a type of approach that I can take that will be enough to eat the sky?

04:54:20.660 --> 04:54:28.660
Basically, I was just going to lose the fight, the boss battle, but still wants to get some practice in it.

04:54:28.660 --> 04:54:34.660
You guys could have gone faster in the corners if you almost just let them pick it up.

04:54:34.660 --> 04:54:40.660
You know, I'm wondering, I see this a little bit on the kickoffs, but when you do have a secure game, you know,

04:54:40.660 --> 04:54:46.660
should you, oh, oh, oh, I was gonna say, should you be pulling punches and maybe, you know, not showing them more of what you have?

04:54:46.660 --> 04:54:49.660
And D is actually going for that flick. It might even be a slight example of that.

04:54:49.660 --> 04:54:54.660
I don't know if we're gonna see him go for that in close games, but he knows he has to lead, and believe it or not, this falls not in.

04:54:54.660 --> 04:54:58.660
And Jack has already decided he has seen enough.

04:55:04.660 --> 04:55:07.060
So we've got the next game coming up.

04:55:07.060 --> 04:55:10.380
Could be the final game in the match.

04:55:10.380 --> 04:55:15.940
Diaz will force a go next out of Zach one more time.

04:55:15.940 --> 04:55:18.780
And Diaz is on a hot streak right now.

04:55:18.780 --> 04:55:19.900
It was a little bit alarming.

04:55:19.900 --> 04:55:21.940
I think, I don't know about you here,

04:55:21.940 --> 04:55:24.100
but I was a little bit taken aback

04:55:24.100 --> 04:55:26.740
seeing how well Zach did in those first two games.

04:55:26.740 --> 04:55:29.060
And was wondering, OK, maybe we're

04:55:29.060 --> 04:55:30.220
going to see something new here.

04:55:30.220 --> 04:55:32.460
Maybe we're going to see something unexpected.

04:55:32.460 --> 04:55:37.460
Diaz on the ropes, but Diaz has really kicked it to a different level.

04:55:37.460 --> 04:55:40.860
Yeah, no question. I mean, one game, it could potentially be a fluke,

04:55:40.860 --> 04:55:42.980
but if you play it strongly, you play it through straight,

04:55:42.980 --> 04:55:46.980
he definitely started to convince me that this was a series

04:55:46.980 --> 04:55:49.940
that Diaz needs to be worried about, that maybe, you know, I mentioned it before.

04:55:49.940 --> 04:55:52.300
I said, if Zack beats Diaz, he's a contender now.

04:55:52.300 --> 04:55:54.900
No longer is he hiding. He's one of the top dogs.

04:55:54.900 --> 04:55:56.780
And that's what he had me potentially believing.

04:55:56.780 --> 04:56:00.380
He was early in the series, but he had played a really strong two games.

04:56:00.380 --> 04:56:07.900
He was right in the right spot to prove just what his limit is in ones, but now we've watched three straight Diaz dominations.

04:56:07.900 --> 04:56:17.180
And so if Diaz continues what we've seen over the past few games, does it again in game four, then I don't think I'm going to learn much more about where Zach is at.

04:56:17.180 --> 04:56:19.500
I kind of would have assumed that Diaz be the favorite in this.

04:56:19.500 --> 04:56:23.140
And if he does get this game, then it's still a bit of a question mark.

04:56:23.140 --> 04:56:30.220
You know, does Zach do well against the likes of a wavy on a rematch or a first killer or some of these other guys can get back to the grand final to play Diaz again?

04:56:30.380 --> 04:56:31.380
Not really sure.

04:56:31.380 --> 04:56:35.380
If he gets even one more and pushes this to seven, you know, that's a different story,

04:56:35.380 --> 04:56:41.380
but Diaz right now in his own honor roll, bringing it to Neo Tokyo and trying to finish out his teammate.

04:56:41.380 --> 04:56:46.380
And we've seen Zach have some interesting presets before.

04:56:46.380 --> 04:56:49.380
Brings another one here in Neo Tokyo.

04:56:51.380 --> 04:56:52.380
And he said, car change.

04:56:52.380 --> 04:56:59.380
I was thinking maybe we'd see him go to the octane, but no, it was just a different panic preset that he had in mind.

04:56:59.380 --> 04:57:10.380
Yeah, it's different indeed, you know, when we saw one antenna earlier with Zafato on the field, I did not expect to see a second antenna, but we've got some antennas and toppers, and you know what?

04:57:10.380 --> 04:57:17.380
I think that's a great way to shrug it off. Sometimes we see these bars where clearly people are messing around, but I can't even imagine an edge.

04:57:17.380 --> 04:57:19.380
We're seeing a game that's tough mentally as one's.

04:57:19.380 --> 04:57:24.980
Diaz clearly, you know, had basically completely shut him out, dominated him.

04:57:24.980 --> 04:57:28.580
Zach was not showing any signs of like, he'd be throwing on this preset,

04:57:28.580 --> 04:57:32.180
helps him shake it off and say, oh, you know, I'm gonna, I'm gonna crazy preset.

04:57:32.180 --> 04:57:35.780
So it's whatever, I'll do whatever I can, maybe I can actually bring it back now.

04:57:35.780 --> 04:57:37.180
So far he's up 1-0.

04:57:38.380 --> 04:57:41.380
That's right, he's gonna get a piece of ball, but Diaz got the moves,

04:57:41.380 --> 04:57:43.180
he's not having some space to reset.

04:57:43.180 --> 04:57:44.380
This is pretty deadly.

04:57:44.380 --> 04:57:48.580
Pulls the trigger, catches Zach out, Diaz will tie it up.

04:57:49.380 --> 04:57:53.380
The only important thing to look at is still a fennec.

04:57:53.380 --> 04:57:55.380
That gives you the real idea.

04:57:55.380 --> 04:57:57.380
If he came in here with a non-fennec, non-octane,

04:57:57.380 --> 04:58:00.380
you know he's committed to the Gracie 3 set.

04:58:00.380 --> 04:58:02.380
But as a fennec he stays fennec.

04:58:02.380 --> 04:58:05.380
He's just searching for some way.

04:58:05.380 --> 04:58:08.380
Some way to relax and try to get back into this

04:58:08.380 --> 04:58:10.380
without really moving off of the fennec

04:58:10.380 --> 04:58:14.380
and actually having to change how his gameplay actually works at all.

04:58:14.380 --> 04:58:16.380
He's got himself a wall to air dribble

04:58:16.380 --> 04:58:24.380
An opportunity to get going here over the top of Diaz cannot quite get back. We've seen Zach hit that so many times where he has to boost back to get the double, but this time not enough.

04:58:25.380 --> 04:58:32.380
It's a battle for that corner boost. Zach walks away with it. Diaz not too happy about it on the quick chat either.

04:58:33.380 --> 04:58:35.380
It's actually OMG as soon as he gets stolen.

04:58:36.380 --> 04:58:42.380
And that's finally enough for Zach to get that little response with an unlucky quick chat.

04:58:42.380 --> 04:58:51.380
I love the banter between the players, I think we see a lot of quick chat in RLCS very often.

04:58:51.380 --> 04:58:56.380
Not a lot, you get two teammates though, you get to play against each other like they are right now.

04:58:56.380 --> 04:59:00.380
I mean, Zach, he's now losing some of these to the opposite wall.

04:59:00.380 --> 04:59:05.380
We saw Diaz win, and I think pick-offs are just getting full side and forcing it.

04:59:05.380 --> 04:59:10.380
Has it seemed like Diaz has had the huge edge on pick-offs so far in the series?

04:59:10.380 --> 04:59:14.380
I would say, in the last few games, I would say at the beginning,

04:59:14.380 --> 04:59:18.380
it was very well rounded, it was maybe even, but no question.

04:59:18.380 --> 04:59:22.380
Not only there's two different types of kickoffs that you can lose.

04:59:22.380 --> 04:59:25.380
There's one like this, where you lose the ball poorly enough

04:59:25.380 --> 04:59:28.380
that within two seconds you've been scored on.

04:59:28.380 --> 04:59:30.380
That's the kickoff rules that a lot of people think of.

04:59:30.380 --> 04:59:33.380
But you can also get scored on kickoff rules,

04:59:33.380 --> 04:59:36.380
especially against an idea who wins possession, goes to the side wall,

04:59:36.380 --> 04:59:39.380
maybe it takes him 15 seconds, maybe it takes him 20,

04:59:39.380 --> 04:59:41.380
but he still ends up scoring.

04:59:41.380 --> 04:59:43.380
Those are, in a sense, kick-off goals as well.

04:59:43.380 --> 04:59:46.380
I would say Zac would do a pretty good job at preventing both of them.

04:59:46.380 --> 04:59:51.380
The big problem now is he gets a great read of where Zeus is in the back wall just to move the ball down.

04:59:51.380 --> 04:59:53.380
And she's allowing, you know, the first type that he talks about.

04:59:53.380 --> 04:59:56.380
Literally goals just straight to the net right away, no question about it.

04:59:56.380 --> 04:59:59.380
And those are the ones you really can't afford to have, never.

04:59:59.380 --> 05:00:00.380
Yeah.

05:00:00.380 --> 05:00:02.380
Now, one thing, don't choose as well.

05:00:04.380 --> 05:00:07.380
You can see Zac all together, he has.

05:00:07.380 --> 05:00:10.500
I'm thinking of the clutch, he's there to boost somehow.

05:00:10.500 --> 05:00:15.180
He manages to steal that corner before trying to cut it, but Zach gets to touch Zach,

05:00:15.180 --> 05:00:17.180
smithing it down field.

05:00:17.180 --> 05:00:18.680
Is this it?

05:00:18.680 --> 05:00:23.380
It stings off the post, but it allows Zach to get down field and get boosted up.

05:00:24.380 --> 05:00:27.880
Zach, oh my, oh my goodness, what a save.

05:00:27.880 --> 05:00:31.880
Zach had it landing on the wall, three-foot to get a shot on target did not seem easy.

05:00:31.880 --> 05:00:37.180
I figured if Zach got it anywhere towards the end, it was going to be in, but Diaz reminding us that he's still on the field.

05:00:37.180 --> 05:00:42.540
the turnery save so impressive as well as he pops his ball up racing to beat back to it

05:00:42.540 --> 05:00:47.340
and it's somewhat of a tie he is going to get to land and tap it towards net and one more follow-up

05:00:47.340 --> 05:00:54.380
should be able to take the edge. You want to scrap that one spear I mean you saw the exact zero

05:00:54.380 --> 05:01:03.260
boot putting it towards net he has barely uh saving it he has just doing enough to keep his head

05:01:03.260 --> 05:01:08.620
above water and ends up hurting on the other end approach the halfway point of this game.

05:01:12.780 --> 05:01:14.540
He is not giving up just yet.

05:01:15.580 --> 05:01:19.500
And Tiaz is so focused on getting all the boost seed, grabs the midfield,

05:01:19.500 --> 05:01:24.060
grabs the back corner as well and then goes to the ball and he really wants to starve Zach out

05:01:24.060 --> 05:01:28.700
before he actually makes a play and Zach taking advantage of that by just chasing the ball down

05:01:28.700 --> 05:01:32.460
and it's been even all in play on zero boost. We just had all of it taken from you.

05:01:32.460 --> 05:01:41.460
If you don't get that ball in, you're probably in big trouble, but it's a risk that Zac is willing to take, pays off, sweet spot in that touch.

05:01:41.460 --> 05:01:48.960
Now Diaz, more than willing to fully reset opposition, he says this is urgent, wasn't good enough, I'll go all the way to my back line, but Zac gave it a deadline.

05:01:48.960 --> 05:01:51.960
Not the cleanest carry from Diaz.

05:01:51.960 --> 05:01:58.460
And now Zac is going, he saw Diaz trying to cut him off, great wall pinch. Diaz has recovered to stop the goal.

05:01:58.460 --> 05:02:01.960
Diaz so speedy enough to get back.

05:02:01.960 --> 05:02:14.960
Zack, he's over the field, reset early and on the ground. Now, ground air, first touch control, reset, DS.

05:02:14.960 --> 05:02:23.960
I put this towards net, and Zack gets back in time. Backflip hit, saves it. DS in no boost either, but does land a bit of a pump on Zack.

05:02:23.960 --> 05:02:26.960
Should allow DS to get this boost and the ball.

05:02:26.960 --> 05:02:42.960
He's trying to bridge up. He thought Diaz is going to go air dribble on the very first touch. Diaz does love his air dribbles, but as soon as he sees Zach jump, he knows just one more touch will be enough to get it out around him and then wide open nets.

05:02:42.960 --> 05:02:49.960
He's trying to stay one step ahead of him. In terms of challenging Diaz, we saw work earlier on low boost this time getting ahead of the Uriel.

05:02:49.960 --> 05:02:55.020
does not pay off cannot free flip through to pick up 100 boost here so it

05:02:55.020 --> 05:02:59.020
might be stuck in one-to-one jail as I sometimes call it unless he pushes us out

05:02:59.020 --> 05:03:05.440
Diaz comes in right back in he wants Zach to be forcing him to make saves and every last second Zach just

05:03:05.440 --> 05:03:10.780
swung out to the boost and could not stop this top-leveling surgical flick here from Diaz

05:03:13.280 --> 05:03:19.660
how do you stop that top corner or just play here from Diaz starting

05:03:19.960 --> 05:03:23.400
to pull ahead as we approach the final minute of the game.

05:03:25.880 --> 05:03:26.880
He's chasing down.

05:03:28.040 --> 05:03:28.880
Sack.

05:03:29.880 --> 05:03:32.520
100m squirt, but oh yes, he never even worried.

05:03:32.520 --> 05:03:33.520
But whether or not he connected down,

05:03:33.520 --> 05:03:34.840
we knew he could go collect the ball.

05:03:34.840 --> 05:03:36.040
He came back to his favorite spot.

05:03:36.040 --> 05:03:37.080
That was trying to stop him.

05:03:37.080 --> 05:03:38.400
Sack loves the challenge of the year.

05:03:38.400 --> 05:03:41.160
Actually, he intercepted the full field dribble early.

05:03:41.160 --> 05:03:42.880
Yes, chips this one around.

05:03:42.880 --> 05:03:45.040
And now, well, narrow roll a shot on target.

05:03:45.040 --> 05:03:47.520
Regal lead, this is a moment in which

05:03:47.520 --> 05:03:48.880
he can start to play this lead.

05:03:48.880 --> 05:03:54.420
41 seconds left to go you can start to slow the game down force bad challenges out of Zach

05:03:54.600 --> 05:03:59.280
If the opportunity arises, but it starts with a good kickoff is has to win this one and

05:04:10.360 --> 05:04:15.920
Zach calls it there calls GGs and Diaz will take the win

05:04:15.920 --> 05:04:20.920
an incredible performance here from Diaz who bounces back

05:04:21.920 --> 05:04:26.520
and wins four straight after the first two games wins from Zach.

05:04:26.520 --> 05:04:29.280
Yeah, it's just an impressive run from Diaz.

05:04:29.280 --> 05:04:33.840
It's the kind of thing that if we hadn't seen the first two games,

05:04:33.840 --> 05:04:37.000
if we hadn't seen, you know, Zach actually give up a good fight,

05:04:37.000 --> 05:04:39.480
we would just thought, oh, this is just the Diaz domination.

05:04:39.480 --> 05:04:41.080
We all came for it.

05:04:41.080 --> 05:04:44.560
Four straight games of just control,

05:04:44.560 --> 05:04:48.360
of the reason why he was the North American 1v1 champion

05:04:48.360 --> 05:04:50.720
last time around, and the reason why he's still the favorite

05:04:50.720 --> 05:04:54.080
in this tournament was proven in those four games.

05:04:54.080 --> 05:04:54.840
Without a doubt.

05:04:54.840 --> 05:04:58.960
I mean, you saw what Zach is capable of.

05:04:58.960 --> 05:05:02.600
But overall, it was Diaz who comes out victorious,

05:05:02.600 --> 05:05:04.160
incredible stuff.

05:05:04.160 --> 05:05:07.080
But we've got one more match on the day, and we'll be coming up

05:05:07.080 --> 05:05:08.080
after the break.

05:05:38.080 --> 05:05:40.080
I

05:05:43.200 --> 05:05:45.200
Was just

05:05:46.000 --> 05:05:48.000
On me on that one

05:05:49.840 --> 05:05:55.240
I'd be at this court before the second I did you're being a discord. I was like yeah, I'm on it

05:05:55.240 --> 05:05:57.240
I'm on it. I'll get the thanks for letting me know

05:05:58.080 --> 05:06:00.080
It's all right

05:06:01.280 --> 05:06:06.000
Big else here. We thought Zach had it in the first two get we're in the discord like oh my goodness

05:06:06.000 --> 05:06:08.000
to see him. Is this going to

05:06:08.000 --> 05:06:10.000
win all the way game six, but

05:06:10.000 --> 05:06:12.000
he did only get those first

05:06:12.000 --> 05:06:14.000
years. Yeah, no, Karen. It's

05:06:14.000 --> 05:06:16.000
a Zach. He really made Diaz

05:06:16.000 --> 05:06:17.000
lock in. You can see Diaz is

05:06:17.000 --> 05:06:18.000
trying to get comfortable in

05:06:18.000 --> 05:06:19.000
his chair. He's thinking what's

05:06:19.000 --> 05:06:20.000
wrong here. You know, I should

05:06:20.000 --> 05:06:22.000
be beating this guy. I should

05:06:22.000 --> 05:06:24.000
be winning. He's trying to get

05:06:24.000 --> 05:06:26.000
cut. He's trying to get locked

05:06:26.000 --> 05:06:27.000
in, but he did lock in. I still

05:06:27.000 --> 05:06:29.000
think that's moved Zach off of

05:06:29.000 --> 05:06:31.000
my estimation. The fact that he

05:06:31.000 --> 05:06:33.000
can make Diaz uncomfortable

05:06:33.000 --> 05:06:35.000
and forced him to reach his

05:06:35.000 --> 05:06:41.680
for me. What performance? Bates. There he is. He's looking like the best. He is looking

05:06:41.680 --> 05:06:47.360
like the best in the tournament. Let's go take a first killer, maybe Nevo. And I could

05:06:47.360 --> 05:06:52.000
go in as a paper stone because I mean when Diaz has the ball or possession, he's just

05:06:52.000 --> 05:06:56.320
controlling the game and at a highly elite level. Like, Nevo controlled the possession

05:06:56.320 --> 05:07:01.840
in his matchup against AJ, but it wasn't like that. He wasn't just running up to score on

05:07:01.840 --> 05:07:04.880
AJ, he was just keeping the ball away from AJ.

05:07:04.880 --> 05:07:07.020
He has controlled the possession and kept running up to school.

05:07:07.020 --> 05:07:07.860
Again, Zack.

05:07:07.860 --> 05:07:09.040
And Zack's a world-class defender.

05:07:09.040 --> 05:07:09.920
I mean, we know it in three.

05:07:09.920 --> 05:07:11.920
I know three's defense is different than one's defense,

05:07:11.920 --> 05:07:14.240
but there is a base level.

05:07:14.240 --> 05:07:16.920
And Zack is a truly great defender.

05:07:16.920 --> 05:07:19.440
I mean, think of the level of dominance

05:07:19.440 --> 05:07:21.480
you have to have in a match for the competitor

05:07:21.480 --> 05:07:24.520
to voluntarily lose the match, like Zack just did.

05:07:24.520 --> 05:07:25.840
There was time left on the clock.

05:07:25.840 --> 05:07:28.120
Yeah, he's very unlikely to win that last match,

05:07:28.120 --> 05:07:29.520
but he didn't even want to try.

05:07:29.520 --> 05:07:30.360
He said, you know what?

05:07:30.360 --> 05:07:31.180
Nope, that's out.

05:07:31.180 --> 05:07:36.500
I'm gonna give up before the end of this game like that is how dominant Diaz was in that matchup

05:07:36.500 --> 05:07:39.220
Got a forfeit out of him on the match point here

05:07:39.220 --> 05:07:44.580
And he's third of the top four will wait and see who his opponent is tomorrow to be a dear age AJ or wavy

05:07:44.940 --> 05:07:48.820
Zach's gonna have to go through first killer and then it's got evil which I was saying Bates

05:07:48.820 --> 05:07:53.180
You mentioned that there's there's evil and first kill maybe the two people who could take it there to Diaz

05:07:53.180 --> 05:07:56.820
There's it there all those are the three players the other side of the bracket the match

05:07:56.820 --> 05:07:59.620
We just saw first killer and we evil well listen Diaz

05:07:59.620 --> 05:08:03.060
is earned that because I mean he is the I guess the reigning North American

05:08:03.060 --> 05:08:08.080
representative for RCS 1v1 he's just brought this in his first iteration last

05:08:08.080 --> 05:08:11.940
year he has played against what he has played against in that matchup oh yeah he

05:08:11.940 --> 05:08:14.740
played against the world champion no I'm talking about the world champion in

05:08:14.740 --> 05:08:19.580
Rallo where he was representing he played against Noppo and won the first game

05:08:19.580 --> 05:08:22.380
after that he didn't go his way but the whole point is he's trying to get back

05:08:22.380 --> 05:08:25.340
to that he's trying to get that rematch him but that's a big point I'm talking

05:08:25.340 --> 05:08:27.340
about because I would have very soon.

05:08:27.340 --> 05:08:30.620
I see a new book even qualify to make it to that match.

05:08:30.620 --> 05:08:32.420
But right here, look at the highlights of me.

05:08:32.420 --> 05:08:33.260
That came out hot.

05:08:33.260 --> 05:08:34.100
It was actually funny.

05:08:34.100 --> 05:08:34.420
I walked away.

05:08:34.420 --> 05:08:35.900
I don't know what you're all talking about.

05:08:35.900 --> 05:08:38.300
I was like, I knew production had a good thing

05:08:38.300 --> 05:08:40.660
thinking making sure I had Zach as my prediction.

05:08:40.660 --> 05:08:45.260
But then, of course, it all went downhill very fast.

05:08:45.260 --> 05:08:49.060
Yeah, I mean, the first game, three goals early for Diaz.

05:08:49.060 --> 05:08:51.540
We thought, yeah, as we expected, then Zach just

05:08:51.540 --> 05:08:54.020
to play turns around that like shuffling in the chair

05:08:54.020 --> 05:08:56.160
from Diaz, it's not the only time you did that.

05:08:56.160 --> 05:08:58.700
He was doing that in both of the games that he's trailing,

05:08:58.700 --> 05:08:59.980
trying to get comfortable.

05:08:59.980 --> 05:09:01.300
He didn't look comfortable on the pitch,

05:09:01.300 --> 05:09:03.380
Zach had his second guess in himself.

05:09:03.380 --> 05:09:05.340
But what a level up from Diaz,

05:09:05.340 --> 05:09:07.100
this is why he's the sort of favorite

05:09:07.100 --> 05:09:08.460
he's been dominating,

05:09:08.460 --> 05:09:11.020
NA1s for a couple of years now.

05:09:11.020 --> 05:09:14.060
And yeah, he wants another go

05:09:14.060 --> 05:09:16.140
at the one-terral championship.

05:09:16.140 --> 05:09:19.260
There's been upsets in both of the regions

05:09:19.260 --> 05:09:22.980
already have a qualifier in the S and KB1.

05:09:22.980 --> 05:09:25.820
still all is well for North Carolina's favorite.

05:09:28.620 --> 05:09:29.420
All is well.

05:09:29.420 --> 05:09:31.380
It's in the 5-2.

05:09:31.380 --> 05:09:32.880
Man, the guys just kept running the score.

05:09:32.880 --> 05:09:34.320
He actually Braziled.

05:09:34.320 --> 05:09:35.260
Brazilian got the Brazil.

05:09:35.260 --> 05:09:37.120
It was actually funny because in game number two,

05:09:37.120 --> 05:09:38.580
it was looking like the Brazilian was going to get Brazil,

05:09:38.580 --> 05:09:40.620
but then he scored and made it 6-2, I think.

05:09:40.620 --> 05:09:41.620
Ha, ha, ha, ha.

05:09:41.620 --> 05:09:43.920
He scored before he could have 7-1.

05:09:43.920 --> 05:09:45.060
And Am, he's just so comfortable.

05:09:45.060 --> 05:09:47.620
He's so quick and that he played his heart out,

05:09:47.620 --> 05:09:50.420
but he's just not as good in 1s as this guy is.

05:09:50.420 --> 05:09:51.420
He didn't have it there.

05:09:51.420 --> 05:09:58.320
Diaz did, he's through to the top four again, one match away from the grand finals and defending his title work joined by Diaz on the call.

05:09:58.320 --> 05:10:03.320
Sir, congratulations on the win. What a back and forth series. Well, back and forth is actually the wrong way to describe it.

05:10:03.320 --> 05:10:06.520
It was kind of the first two games for Zax. You had everything else there.

05:10:06.520 --> 05:10:10.620
What was Zax doing in those first two games that you were able to adjust around in the back for?

05:10:12.220 --> 05:10:19.520
I was just trying to play my game in the first two games and then I couldn't and then I needed to lock in and I changed to Octane

05:10:19.520 --> 05:10:22.280
and then that's changed everything.

05:10:23.800 --> 05:10:25.960
So what does that change in your gameplay

05:10:25.960 --> 05:10:28.400
if you want to give us any of your secrets?

05:10:28.400 --> 05:10:30.240
So you play both cards very well,

05:10:30.240 --> 05:10:33.440
but what are the main differences for you?

05:10:33.440 --> 05:10:36.800
I was just trying to have possession in the game, you know?

05:10:36.800 --> 05:10:40.200
And with Octane, I was winning every kickoff

05:10:40.200 --> 05:10:42.560
and then that's a point that I need

05:10:42.560 --> 05:10:44.440
to improve my game plan.

05:10:44.440 --> 05:10:46.480
And then that changed everything, you know?

05:10:49.520 --> 05:10:54.040
My question it is all right. What's going on? What? What?

05:10:56.000 --> 05:10:58.480
What kind of forfeit is that who did that anyways?

05:10:59.480 --> 05:11:01.480
Anyways, anyways

05:11:01.720 --> 05:11:06.980
I got a question. I have absolutely nothing with your your gameplay. I think it's sensational

05:11:07.000 --> 05:11:10.840
So congratulations on your win. Why the Argentina Jersey?

05:11:12.360 --> 05:11:14.360
Because mess is the coach

05:11:14.360 --> 05:11:17.720
So he's just the best.

05:11:17.720 --> 05:11:18.680
OK, there we go.

05:11:18.680 --> 05:11:19.800
I just had to understand.

05:11:19.800 --> 05:11:20.920
OK, OK, OK.

05:11:20.920 --> 05:11:22.920
Wait, wait, another question.

05:11:22.920 --> 05:11:25.280
You're still you're still reppin'

05:11:25.280 --> 05:11:27.160
Brazil in the World Cup, right?

05:11:27.160 --> 05:11:28.480
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am.

05:11:28.480 --> 05:11:30.280
OK, OK, OK, just had to make sure.

05:11:30.280 --> 05:11:31.440
OK, yeah, I'm good.

05:11:31.440 --> 05:11:33.360
I got my questions out.

05:11:33.360 --> 05:11:34.240
Yeah, they're all certain.

05:11:34.240 --> 05:11:35.960
You've earned it at the top four here.

05:11:35.960 --> 05:11:38.120
You're either playing AJ or Wavy tomorrow.

05:11:38.120 --> 05:11:39.880
You got Evo, first killer.

05:11:39.880 --> 05:11:41.560
And then obviously, Zach is still alive.

05:11:41.560 --> 05:11:43.200
He'll play first kill tomorrow.

05:11:43.200 --> 05:11:47.160
In your mind, is there anyone that you have your eye on?

05:11:47.160 --> 05:11:48.860
You're like, this is a person I'm concerned about?

05:11:48.860 --> 05:11:51.120
Or from our perspective, it sort of

05:11:51.120 --> 05:11:53.200
feels like you're literally a step ahead of everyone else.

05:11:53.200 --> 05:11:54.120
Do you feel that way?

05:11:54.120 --> 05:11:56.200
Or does the competition feel tougher this year

05:11:56.200 --> 05:11:57.000
than it did last year?

05:11:57.000 --> 05:12:00.320
Like, how do you feel about your standing in North America?

05:12:00.320 --> 05:12:01.480
I feel it's the same thing.

05:12:01.480 --> 05:12:04.760
I'm not training once as it was.

05:12:04.760 --> 05:12:08.560
So it's going to be a tough tournament, for sure.

05:12:08.560 --> 05:12:11.560
But if I play my game, I think I can beat any one of them.

05:12:13.200 --> 05:12:16.700
Well, you played it well today, found a way to adjust around, Zach.

05:12:16.700 --> 05:12:17.400
And you got the win.

05:12:17.400 --> 05:12:18.400
Congratulations, sir.

05:12:18.400 --> 05:12:19.200
We'll see you tomorrow.

05:12:19.200 --> 05:12:19.700
Thank you.

05:12:19.700 --> 05:12:20.700
Yep.

05:12:20.700 --> 05:12:21.700
The Azzel.

05:12:21.700 --> 05:12:23.200
Keith, I want to try and experiment.

05:12:23.200 --> 05:12:24.200
All right.

05:12:24.200 --> 05:12:27.200
To help you unbecome your parents, I want you to try a game called Rocket League.

05:12:27.200 --> 05:12:30.200
Ooh, is it a puzzle like my crossword?

05:12:30.200 --> 05:12:32.200
No, picture soccer.

05:12:32.200 --> 05:12:32.700
Okay.

05:12:32.700 --> 05:12:34.200
With a car.

05:12:34.200 --> 05:12:36.700
What do I hang my feet outside the window?

05:12:36.700 --> 05:12:38.200
No, not your car.

05:12:38.200 --> 05:12:39.200
But you said think of it.

05:12:39.200 --> 05:12:40.200
It's a video game.

05:12:40.200 --> 05:12:41.700
Oh, okay, I get it.

05:12:41.700 --> 05:12:42.700
Where's the cartridge?

05:12:42.700 --> 05:12:44.100
No, it's an online thing.

05:12:44.100 --> 05:12:45.100
Is there a joystick?

05:12:45.100 --> 05:12:46.600
Not like the ones you're thinking of.

05:12:46.600 --> 05:12:47.900
But I need to get some corridors, right?

05:12:47.900 --> 05:12:48.500
I know.

05:12:48.500 --> 05:12:49.900
I gotta blow in the cartridge.

05:12:49.900 --> 05:12:52.900
Again, like no cartridge, but you'll need a username.

05:12:52.900 --> 05:12:53.600
Username, huh?

05:12:53.600 --> 05:12:57.000
How about Keith underscore 9-9-1-4?

05:12:57.000 --> 05:12:58.300
The bathroom coat?

05:12:58.300 --> 05:13:01.700
That's the only number I can kind of remember easily, so.

05:15:12.700 --> 05:15:31.880
The magic of Rocket League is the stories you can tell about it, the zero-second buzzer

05:15:31.880 --> 05:15:36.600
beers that fix saves, the underdog victories, it's all there.

05:15:36.600 --> 05:15:41.560
As we return to this legendary arena, we'll witness Rocket League's story unfold together.

05:15:41.560 --> 05:15:46.840
Who will hang their team's banners in the rafters of champions field start to find out

05:16:41.560 --> 05:16:43.560
I

05:17:41.560 --> 05:17:43.560
We could find

05:17:45.560 --> 05:17:49.560
We'll conclude ourselves to the waves of time

05:17:51.560 --> 05:17:55.560
We'll try to repent before you sin

05:17:57.560 --> 05:18:01.560
It's like getting up before you begin

05:18:03.560 --> 05:18:07.560
Smiled with a sin in that line

05:18:07.560 --> 05:18:09.560
I'm stuck in never mind

05:18:09.560 --> 05:18:11.560
I hope you can see

05:18:11.560 --> 05:18:13.560
Where I lie

05:18:13.560 --> 05:18:15.560
Stars

05:18:15.560 --> 05:18:17.560
We can see

05:18:17.560 --> 05:18:19.560
Another light

05:18:19.560 --> 05:18:21.560
Future will never lie

05:18:21.560 --> 05:18:23.560
Good or not

05:18:23.560 --> 05:18:25.560
It was bone dry

05:18:25.560 --> 05:18:27.560
It was bone dry

05:19:37.560 --> 05:19:43.160
I was done with stars, we could see it in that light

05:19:43.160 --> 05:19:49.560
I was done with you never mind, oh, we could see it where I find

05:19:49.560 --> 05:19:55.160
Stars, we could see it in that light

05:19:55.160 --> 05:19:59.560
The future we'll never mind, we'll do it on our feet

05:19:59.560 --> 05:20:03.160
It was bone dry, it was bone dry

05:20:37.560 --> 05:21:00.720
I can feel his smile, he took my neck and I just wonder why.

05:21:00.720 --> 05:21:05.120
North America was exciting today, but there is a grand final yet to occur.

05:21:05.120 --> 05:21:08.120
He has is trying to get a match against this player again.

05:21:08.120 --> 05:21:10.800
Can he get all the way back to those grand finals?

05:21:10.800 --> 05:21:12.000
We're gonna find out, folks.

05:21:12.000 --> 05:21:15.720
It's time for the Middle East North African 1v1 grand finals.

05:21:15.720 --> 05:21:17.160
Regional champ to be crowned here.

05:21:17.160 --> 05:21:21.640
Defending champ Nobu will be taken on his teammate, TRK.

05:21:21.640 --> 05:21:23.240
This is gonna be an exciting one, folks.

05:21:23.240 --> 05:21:24.760
And we had to put it on the mainstream

05:21:24.760 --> 05:21:26.080
because it is that important,

05:21:26.080 --> 05:21:27.600
especially when you have a player,

05:21:27.600 --> 05:21:31.520
the quality of the world champ here back in the matchup.

05:21:31.520 --> 05:21:34.400
You know that the winner of this matchup, Bates,

05:21:34.400 --> 05:21:39.400
is genuinely a favorite to win the title of 1v1 World Champion.

05:21:39.500 --> 05:21:40.340
Yeah, I do believe it.

05:21:40.340 --> 05:21:42.160
I understand agree with you right there, Wayne,

05:21:42.160 --> 05:21:43.560
because I mean, you could take down Nubov,

05:21:43.560 --> 05:21:45.000
I mean, you could take down anybody in the game,

05:21:45.000 --> 05:21:47.200
and the TRK can get that thing done.

05:21:47.200 --> 05:21:48.800
Man, that will be special,

05:21:48.800 --> 05:21:51.360
because you have some momentum going into the RCS,

05:21:51.360 --> 05:21:53.160
1v1 World Championship,

05:21:53.160 --> 05:21:55.360
over in Dickies in a couple of months.

05:21:55.360 --> 05:21:57.040
And I mean, it wouldn't be the easy bracket,

05:21:57.040 --> 05:21:59.360
but all it takes is two great matches

05:21:59.360 --> 05:22:02.680
from a player of all of these players calibrating.

05:22:02.680 --> 05:22:03.520
They can get the job done.

05:22:03.520 --> 05:22:06.480
I'm super excited to see the grand final.

05:22:06.480 --> 05:22:08.400
You can see up there in the top corner, James Bott.

05:22:08.400 --> 05:22:10.360
This match happened yesterday.

05:22:10.360 --> 05:22:13.680
And if the way Nobler has been playing the entire day

05:22:13.680 --> 05:22:16.120
is any indication, this is not going

05:22:16.120 --> 05:22:18.320
to be a problem for him to just take this out again.

05:22:18.320 --> 05:22:20.680
And yet, the weight of Championship Sunday

05:22:20.680 --> 05:22:24.040
seems to change results time and time again in Rockaway.

05:22:24.040 --> 05:22:24.920
It's true.

05:22:24.920 --> 05:22:27.520
But as the defending world champion,

05:22:27.520 --> 05:22:32.040
I think you have to acknowledge the fact that he is going

05:22:32.040 --> 05:22:32.920
to be the heavy favorite.

05:22:32.920 --> 05:22:37.680
the fact that we've seen this matchup before and the game that TRK won because he did get a game.

05:22:38.480 --> 05:22:39.640
It was a one goal game.

05:22:39.640 --> 05:22:45.320
Meanwhile, you know, the games that Nubos winning, he won by six one game.

05:22:45.320 --> 05:22:48.160
He won by five for their last game of the series.

05:22:48.160 --> 05:22:51.800
So I think it just goes to show you how good this guy is.

05:22:51.800 --> 05:22:57.960
I think as a whole, just looking at how much Mina has improved as a region, obviously,

05:22:57.960 --> 05:23:04.840
TRK responsible for making history and Mina being a part of that team falcon team that actually won

05:23:05.560 --> 05:23:12.760
an RLCS major. I think you're starting to see how good this region can be and they're slowly

05:23:12.760 --> 05:23:20.520
slowly starting to really cement themselves as an elite region and the player that could represent

05:23:20.520 --> 05:23:24.840
Mina and get another world championship I think is going to be Nubo. He has been so good.

05:23:24.840 --> 05:23:27.320
Man's prediction on the playoff stage.

05:23:27.320 --> 05:23:31.040
Playoff stage ProcureWave, he free-jumped the predictions.

05:23:31.040 --> 05:23:33.920
He's already there, but I mean, hey,

05:23:33.920 --> 05:23:35.520
let's get into talking about these players.

05:23:35.520 --> 05:23:40.080
Unlikely, allies after a topsy-turvy recruitment scenario

05:23:40.080 --> 05:23:42.120
here, both now on Twisted Minds.

05:23:42.120 --> 05:23:43.920
And we've talked a lot about Rocket League,

05:23:43.920 --> 05:23:45.360
even you mentioned that Middle East

05:23:45.360 --> 05:23:48.520
becoming one of the strongest regions in the game slowly here.

05:23:48.520 --> 05:23:50.920
The thing that is cementing on there is the consistency.

05:23:50.920 --> 05:23:53.920
We've seen pop-offs from players across the world,

05:23:53.920 --> 05:23:55.960
From every region, there have been moments of pop-off.

05:23:55.960 --> 05:23:59.760
It's the consistency that cements you as favorites in the RLCS.

05:23:59.760 --> 05:24:02.280
And no players in the region have been more consistent

05:24:02.280 --> 05:24:05.840
than these two right here, TRK, taking on his teammate.

05:24:05.840 --> 05:24:07.320
It's interesting you bring consistency, too,

05:24:07.320 --> 05:24:10.800
because I don't know whether we've passed the year mark,

05:24:10.800 --> 05:24:14.640
if not we're very close to almost a year on the day

05:24:14.640 --> 05:24:18.240
where TRK actually became major champion.

05:24:18.240 --> 05:24:23.240
First to mean a land, RLCS land victory, ever.

05:24:23.240 --> 05:24:25.040
Did that with the Falcons last year?

05:24:25.040 --> 05:24:27.120
Then of course you already alluded to a wave.

05:24:27.120 --> 05:24:31.240
They had a little roster mania, some turmoil in the hell.

05:24:31.240 --> 05:24:34.040
He seems to have a new ball, but TRK, man.

05:24:34.040 --> 05:24:35.400
He's been doing this for a long time.

05:24:35.400 --> 05:24:39.040
I'm at Kallit, really started that and ignited this mean

05:24:39.040 --> 05:24:40.280
a wave of rockin' players.

05:24:40.280 --> 05:24:43.120
TRK was the third person up.

05:24:43.120 --> 05:24:44.520
I guess fourth after Senzo.

05:24:44.520 --> 05:24:46.640
And then, I mean, listen, he's still here.

05:24:46.640 --> 05:24:48.520
So, new ball's got his work to do.

05:24:48.520 --> 05:24:51.920
That's crazy you call the day when they got crowned

05:24:51.920 --> 05:24:53.240
and Raleigh is major champions.

05:24:53.240 --> 05:24:54.240
That's in two days now.

05:24:54.240 --> 05:24:55.640
That was on the 29th.

05:24:55.640 --> 05:24:56.480
It's two days now.

05:24:56.480 --> 05:24:57.320
So close.

05:24:57.320 --> 05:25:00.120
Yeah, it's tomorrow, I mean on the calendar day,

05:25:00.120 --> 05:25:02.560
you know, like this weekend in June.

05:25:02.560 --> 05:25:03.400
Here they are, folks.

05:25:03.400 --> 05:25:04.240
Who you got?

05:25:04.240 --> 05:25:05.760
Twisted Minds or Twisted Minds?

05:25:05.760 --> 05:25:06.840
Let us know in the chat.

05:25:06.840 --> 05:25:08.240
Team mates going up against each other.

05:25:08.240 --> 05:25:11.360
Only one continues to the Rock League World Champion

05:25:11.360 --> 05:25:14.360
as the Middle East North African 1v1 regional champion.

05:25:14.360 --> 05:25:15.560
Bates, there you go.

05:25:15.560 --> 05:25:17.320
Think Novo does again.

05:25:17.320 --> 05:25:18.160
No.

05:25:18.160 --> 05:25:19.480
Give me the upset.

05:25:19.480 --> 05:25:25.320
give me the upset because I just like TRK so much as that's an individual and a person. I

05:25:25.320 --> 05:25:29.240
just always want to see him succeed. There's a couple of players in Rocket League that I always

05:25:29.240 --> 05:25:33.960
want to see succeed because they have the talent, they have the character, and they have just the

05:25:33.960 --> 05:25:39.320
charisma that you want you to rep the game. TRK is one of them. He's gonna have to dig deep. He's

05:25:39.320 --> 05:25:43.800
gotta be a special series. It ain't gonna be easy. He's gotta need a couple more of those one-go game

05:25:43.800 --> 05:25:47.800
victories, but he can get the job done. I believe in him. Give me TRK. Give me a M6. I don't want

05:25:47.800 --> 05:25:50.920
I want to see a chance to put it away in the Tokyo TRK, get the job done.

05:25:52.240 --> 05:25:53.880
James, who you got?

05:25:53.880 --> 05:25:55.280
I'm going to have to go with Nubo here.

05:25:55.280 --> 05:25:58.960
I think that he is the heavy favor for a reason you saw this matchup already.

05:25:58.960 --> 05:26:02.760
Wouldn't be surprised if he even sweeps the grand final with how good he is.

05:26:03.600 --> 05:26:06.200
I do agree with you.

05:26:06.200 --> 05:26:09.160
I think it would be so much fun to see TRK get the win here.

05:26:09.160 --> 05:26:12.000
But with how he has looked, he even had to deal with

05:26:12.160 --> 05:26:16.280
Nobo had to deal with a scheduled change today, that forfeit that happened with

05:26:16.280 --> 05:26:21.080
Ops, unfortunate as it was meant that Noble had to be ready like an entire hour earlier

05:26:21.080 --> 05:26:23.200
and he still comes out with the 4-0 sweep.

05:26:23.200 --> 05:26:25.120
He took out TRK Escher in a 4-1.

05:26:25.120 --> 05:26:30.120
This feels like this is his match to lose and he will return to Vicky Zarina as a defending

05:26:30.120 --> 05:26:31.120
champion here.

05:26:31.120 --> 05:26:34.200
Folks, it's time for the finals of Middle East, North Africa.

05:26:34.200 --> 05:26:37.600
What a region in the game and two of the greatest to ever do with folks.

05:26:37.600 --> 05:26:40.080
It's the reigning champ versus the greatest of all time.

05:26:40.080 --> 05:26:45.080
the title of Mena 1v1 champion.

05:26:45.080 --> 05:26:47.080
I can't say a better way to bunk that,

05:26:47.080 --> 05:26:49.080
but about as good as the summary is,

05:26:49.080 --> 05:26:51.080
you can get from what this match is.

05:26:51.080 --> 05:26:53.080
It's the go to Mena against Mena's 1v1

05:26:53.080 --> 05:26:55.080
defending world champ.

05:26:55.080 --> 05:26:58.080
Game 1 brought to you by progressive kick-off now.

05:26:58.080 --> 05:27:00.080
Fier, who do you got in this one?

05:27:00.080 --> 05:27:01.080
You have to go with Nupo, I think,

05:27:01.080 --> 05:27:03.080
coming into this one.

05:27:03.080 --> 05:27:04.080
You know, even T-Bates seemed like

05:27:04.080 --> 05:27:05.080
he was limping in just here.

05:27:05.080 --> 05:27:06.080
Okay, Bate, do you want an upset?

05:27:06.080 --> 05:27:08.080
Secretly in that, he's admitting

05:27:08.080 --> 05:27:10.400
admitting that Nupo is favorite.

05:27:10.400 --> 05:27:12.000
I'm assuming you're with me, Johnny.

05:27:12.000 --> 05:27:13.440
Oh yeah, I mean, you have to be,

05:27:13.440 --> 05:27:16.640
not just because he's about to score the opening goal,

05:27:16.640 --> 05:27:21.040
but because he is the true 1v1 player.

05:27:21.040 --> 05:27:23.880
He does absolutely everything you need to 1v1.

05:27:23.880 --> 05:27:26.680
His kickoff is brutal to go up against.

05:27:26.680 --> 05:27:29.600
He is S tier, S plus tier in the air.

05:27:29.600 --> 05:27:32.640
He's so fast, so dominant with the physical game

05:27:32.640 --> 05:27:34.280
and on the ball with his challenges.

05:27:34.280 --> 05:27:37.600
TRK might have the mind games, I'll give him that,

05:27:37.600 --> 05:27:42.960
But is that going to be enough for the goalie to once save early as it rattles off just

05:27:42.960 --> 05:27:45.320
on every upright you can think of?

05:27:45.320 --> 05:27:50.200
We can't expect to see a healthy amount of resets that go to the ground from TRK.

05:27:50.200 --> 05:27:53.640
That one was a bit of a shorter one and it felt like it was going to break through with

05:27:53.640 --> 05:27:55.800
a move that he loves to go to.

05:27:55.800 --> 05:27:58.400
But early, we knew what would stop him.

05:27:58.400 --> 05:28:02.400
TRK doesn't manage to get through the air despite the posturing pernupolite challenge.

05:28:02.400 --> 05:28:03.400
And there it is!

05:28:03.400 --> 05:28:07.400
I said it was coming and here's a nice reset, wavedash to the ground.

05:28:07.400 --> 05:28:12.960
That is 106 kilometers an hour, absolutely flying into the Defending World Champions

05:28:12.960 --> 05:28:18.960
point corner. TRK loves his aerial mind games. He loves to shoot low after flip resetting.

05:28:18.960 --> 05:28:24.200
Now he's got drive kickoff to the back corner. That's going to be huge actually. Look at

05:28:24.200 --> 05:28:30.200
what that can do. He put the momentum up, get in the demo. He's got surprise. Now he

05:28:30.200 --> 05:28:34.400
puts many times he can and he does again. This time shooting. No mind game on this one.

05:28:34.400 --> 05:28:38.000
Maybe a little bit on the approach, but great start for the challenger.

05:28:39.120 --> 05:28:44.720
At CRK, he's being brought up as the underdog here, but there was a time where he also

05:28:45.360 --> 05:28:49.840
reigned supreme in Mina as the top Wombi winner, so he definitely knows what he's doing in Wombi

05:28:49.840 --> 05:28:55.280
one. He's not just jumping into this with no experience, just the new bow comes in

05:28:55.840 --> 05:28:59.280
and a little bit better as of late. He's got CRK going off his dealing,

05:28:59.280 --> 05:29:03.280
He's not adjustable at all, he'll let it drop down for a second.

05:29:03.280 --> 05:29:08.280
And the slow approach in the air there, not something you're going to see a lot today,

05:29:08.280 --> 05:29:13.280
it's usually going to be flying as fast as possible, but that really looked like a surprise

05:29:13.280 --> 05:29:16.280
TRK who's posturing for a high challenge.

05:29:16.280 --> 05:29:20.280
And instead the trajectory of the air dribble came in a bit lower.

05:29:20.280 --> 05:29:22.280
TRK going for the fast p-stop.

05:29:22.280 --> 05:29:25.280
Half a chance of target here, goes for it.

05:29:25.280 --> 05:29:28.280
He likes this traditional blinks of TRK.

05:29:28.280 --> 05:29:33.280
One of this nonsense, this modern reverse 45 degree, just a,

05:29:33.600 --> 05:29:36.800
it's self-shelf flicks with the standard approach.

05:29:37.640 --> 05:29:39.320
Really putting the dependent jump

05:29:39.320 --> 05:29:40.720
under a lot of pressure early.

05:29:41.600 --> 05:29:44.360
Hey, what I'd like to call a testing shot

05:29:44.360 --> 05:29:46.720
at the top shelf of Nubbo, to see if he can't get

05:29:46.720 --> 05:29:48.200
a whole offense to continue there.

05:29:48.200 --> 05:29:50.400
He actually will sneak over the top of Nubbo

05:29:50.400 --> 05:29:51.240
to get this steal.

05:29:51.240 --> 05:29:52.480
Now this can be a much better position

05:29:52.480 --> 05:29:53.680
to try and play an extended attack

05:29:53.680 --> 05:29:55.560
because Nubbo's actually low on boost,

05:29:55.560 --> 05:29:57.600
DRK reset, are we gonna see down to a wave dash?

05:29:57.600 --> 05:30:00.600
No, this time he jumps into the air and air rolls to the top left.

05:30:01.600 --> 05:30:05.600
It really is quite amazing that he can still do this to this day.

05:30:05.600 --> 05:30:07.600
And he's so convincing with it. You might be thinking,

05:30:07.600 --> 05:30:09.600
but why is there no challenge?

05:30:09.600 --> 05:30:12.600
What are you letting TRK get out closer to personal par for?

05:30:12.600 --> 05:30:14.600
He really can't pull the trigger at any moment.

05:30:14.600 --> 05:30:16.600
He can shoot that high off the reset.

05:30:16.600 --> 05:30:20.600
He can, you know, go for the wave dash shot, or like pinch style shot.

05:30:20.600 --> 05:30:23.600
Or he can just take his like bounce back up again.

05:30:23.600 --> 05:30:26.600
That constant threat is something TRK has always been so good at.

05:30:27.600 --> 05:30:40.600
There's no question he's in his comfort zone though, the later he gets challenged, Lupo is going to have to throw a couple in early to make sure TRK at least thinks about it as he puts on not nearly a good enough shot, not with Lupo in next.

05:30:40.600 --> 05:30:55.600
Yeah, it looks like he didn't really give that full power. He was maybe trying to hit the ball top shelf and recover at the same time, but he leaped forward and it's just gone most straight into the defending brooch champ's lap.

05:30:55.600 --> 05:31:01.200
bit of an easy one there. He's got six saves in this first game. Oh my goodness, is that

05:31:01.200 --> 05:31:08.080
on? It's a good read by TRK. It's pretty close on those. It takes its time. It's about once

05:31:08.080 --> 05:31:14.480
more. Sealing reset for both. And now the race to the back corner boost has been won

05:31:14.480 --> 05:31:22.160
by the, well, the start point to TRK's throne back in the day, but now it's persisting the

05:31:22.160 --> 05:31:27.160
It seems like we've had a change of momentum in this first game.

05:31:27.160 --> 05:31:31.160
Are we watching North America? It's a full field dribble!

05:31:31.160 --> 05:31:35.160
It's a great save by TRK. He's trying to get a counter out of it as well.

05:31:35.160 --> 05:31:39.160
Wow, it's for coverers in the game. He's still going to make it there before he gets back.

05:31:39.160 --> 05:31:44.160
What a save that is. TRK is the fastest route possible to the net.

05:31:44.160 --> 05:31:48.160
Destroying directly off the side wall there.

05:31:48.160 --> 05:31:53.020
points to the ball towards that near post, no time wasted but he needs to try

05:31:53.020 --> 05:31:56.880
get control of all again. He started off this game with a lot of possession

05:31:56.880 --> 05:32:01.700
going his favor, this one is not and he has conceded on straight spawn kickoff

05:32:01.700 --> 05:32:06.160
a rarity in high level ones but he's actually run flip to the approach is

05:32:06.160 --> 05:32:10.880
maybe even more rare. Yeah it's not something you see very often it helps you

05:32:10.880 --> 05:32:15.460
maybe score up dead center but what it also does is it just ever so slightly

05:32:15.460 --> 05:32:18.980
Delays your approach because yeah, I'm gonna get there as fast as someone speed-flipping

05:32:19.500 --> 05:32:21.900
Sometimes that can be helpful as TRK

05:32:22.420 --> 05:32:25.260
Washer it up on the side wall like you did a challenge headed back now

05:32:27.100 --> 05:32:31.780
Landing sailing out of this one who actually you're trying to flip TRK off the top of him

05:32:31.900 --> 05:32:36.260
Wasn't able to get the turnaround shot. I was gonna be forced into that on very low boosts

05:32:36.260 --> 05:32:40.940
TRK into the air this time. He does go pretty fast. Hi, you can force him up there

05:32:40.940 --> 05:32:43.260
where Tier K still in possession.

05:32:43.260 --> 05:32:44.580
Oh, Vic is going to take it in the field.

05:32:44.580 --> 05:32:46.820
Instead, he will take a side wall.

05:32:46.820 --> 05:32:49.700
He's trying to play keep away from a ceiling challenge.

05:32:49.700 --> 05:32:53.060
And he managed to do some great boost steal.

05:32:53.060 --> 05:32:55.100
And that's unbelievable defense.

05:32:55.100 --> 05:32:56.980
You know, deflecting the ball to that back corner

05:32:56.980 --> 05:32:58.420
right as the boost responds.

05:32:58.420 --> 05:32:59.980
And great defense to the other end.

05:32:59.980 --> 05:33:01.780
DRK dodging it, bumping the air.

05:33:01.780 --> 05:33:04.780
But he can't do the same once it all reaches the ground again.

05:33:04.780 --> 05:33:06.900
He has spawned Reapost as you would expect

05:33:06.900 --> 05:33:08.580
after the recent update.

05:33:08.580 --> 05:33:10.460
But he is in a terrible spot here.

05:33:10.460 --> 05:33:18.380
It could be the first lead, not yet, but with just a minute to go, I think the momentum

05:33:18.380 --> 05:33:21.940
of the match has definitely swung away from TRK.

05:33:21.940 --> 05:33:23.940
He needs control of the ball again.

05:33:23.940 --> 05:33:31.140
If we're backing off as TRK is faking and feeling interesting, it's like he's defending

05:33:31.140 --> 05:33:32.140
the side wall.

05:33:32.140 --> 05:33:39.300
He doesn't want to go over there and you think you need to prioritise your net, TRK backing

05:33:39.300 --> 05:33:44.300
off. Space is dangerous for this player. Low 50, great challenge. Good enough challenge

05:33:44.300 --> 05:33:49.700
that it's going to be out in time to recover, but still boost advantage to the world champ.

05:33:49.700 --> 05:33:54.100
50, this one's going to stick around and it'll be a tap in for a bit.

05:33:54.100 --> 05:34:00.100
Like I said, these aren't fat challenges, but unfortunately, the offense is always going

05:34:00.100 --> 05:34:06.500
to be able to control the 50s, both on the ground and in the air. And now we have 20

05:34:06.500 --> 05:34:14.500
left to your gay trails first time in the game that he has got an opportunity here to get the ball back though.

05:34:14.500 --> 05:34:19.500
Demo should be good. It is nice. Got to get us up target quickly. First type shot is in.

05:34:19.500 --> 05:34:22.140
Tie game, 5-5.

05:34:22.140 --> 05:34:25.140
Hi, Stambo to open the field.

05:34:25.140 --> 05:34:28.140
It is a fairly free fall through for TRK.

05:34:28.140 --> 05:34:30.020
He knows how to hit those nets when they're open.

05:34:30.020 --> 05:34:31.020
No way.

05:34:31.020 --> 05:34:33.460
They put a spot to spawn that will save him here.

05:34:33.460 --> 05:34:35.860
It's a diagonal kickoff and a crucial moment.

05:34:35.860 --> 05:34:39.220
TRK are trying to finish off what has been a great game one.

05:34:39.220 --> 05:34:43.060
It's not easy to get these close games against the World Champ.

05:34:43.060 --> 05:34:44.860
He's got a wave dash.

05:34:44.860 --> 05:34:45.860
He's going to be able to get a lead.

05:34:45.860 --> 05:34:46.860
There's only six goals to play.

05:34:46.860 --> 05:34:47.360
No way.

05:34:47.360 --> 05:34:47.860
Where's Newport?

05:34:47.860 --> 05:34:57.860
I don't blame you for the good in the back. He's usually so quick back in a position, but he lost all his momentum on the landing.

05:34:57.860 --> 05:35:05.860
And it's TRK with a zero second goal. Take it game one. We have got grand finals.

05:35:05.860 --> 05:35:12.860
It's amazing what these grand finals do in 1v1. It doesn't matter who seems favorite going into this.

05:35:12.860 --> 05:35:16.580
it is always going to be a great match up in TRK.

05:35:16.580 --> 05:35:19.140
I mean, he was just playing solid from the very beginning,

05:35:19.140 --> 05:35:21.260
went straight to his game,

05:35:21.260 --> 05:35:23.220
and Nupral I think maybe led for a second

05:35:23.220 --> 05:35:24.220
or at least was able to tie it,

05:35:24.220 --> 05:35:27.460
but TRK, he led the majority of the time on the clock,

05:35:27.460 --> 05:35:28.780
so he's going to feel really good

05:35:28.780 --> 05:35:30.220
that he was able to secure this one

05:35:30.220 --> 05:35:32.180
and actually take game number one.

05:35:32.180 --> 05:35:33.740
It was mostly counter attacking

05:35:33.740 --> 05:35:36.300
and lots of low 50s were saying to the game,

05:35:36.300 --> 05:35:38.540
for the defending world champion,

05:35:38.540 --> 05:35:41.220
he's just trusting the fact that TRK likes

05:35:41.220 --> 05:35:42.140
to challenge the ball,

05:35:42.140 --> 05:35:47.500
He does dive a lot when he challenges in general, roughly.

05:35:47.500 --> 05:35:49.460
But the fact that he's, you know,

05:35:49.460 --> 05:35:53.020
seized the lead late and then lost the game is a big surprise.

05:35:53.020 --> 05:35:55.820
I very much thought, seeing the way the kickoffs are going,

05:35:55.820 --> 05:35:58.140
seeing the way that the goals were trending,

05:35:58.140 --> 05:36:00.780
that TRK had just lost that one.

05:36:00.780 --> 05:36:02.700
But wow, clutch at the end as well.

05:36:02.700 --> 05:36:05.140
Hitting him with a bit of his own medicine as well.

05:36:05.140 --> 05:36:09.140
0-50 to bounce the ball high in the closing stages

05:36:09.140 --> 05:36:11.300
is exactly what TRK needed.

05:36:11.300 --> 05:36:15.300
Yeah, you know, we saw Rwass, you know, take Nupo to the very edge last time around.

05:36:15.300 --> 05:36:17.300
This time Rwass drops out of the tournament early.

05:36:17.300 --> 05:36:23.300
If there was someone else to pick up to try and give a fight to the current best Wombi1er in the world,

05:36:23.300 --> 05:36:28.300
why not the greatest ever to do it in this region if there's anyone who's not going to be afraid of the moment.

05:36:28.300 --> 05:36:29.300
It's going to be TRK.

05:36:29.300 --> 05:36:34.300
He's been there not just in Mita, but on lands and every part of Rocket League.

05:36:34.300 --> 05:36:39.300
Why not also Wombi1 as he has to lead as we start getting him too?

05:36:39.300 --> 05:36:43.540
That's a good shot, it's top corner, straight up the kickoff.

05:36:43.540 --> 05:36:47.860
And yeah, a couple of kickoff goals directly going in now.

05:36:47.860 --> 05:36:50.340
This took too strong, he just wins the kickoff.

05:36:50.340 --> 05:36:52.820
The whole group at TRK said, TRK's going,

05:36:52.820 --> 05:36:55.180
go back to those tricks he tried to get one of them.

05:36:55.180 --> 05:36:56.700
They can like the drive kickoff from him.

05:36:56.700 --> 05:36:57.980
I think the lead could be good.

05:36:57.980 --> 05:37:00.020
He is still front flipping on this straight spot,

05:37:00.020 --> 05:37:01.260
which is interesting.

05:37:01.260 --> 05:37:03.940
And then they want to lead that ball

05:37:03.940 --> 05:37:05.660
for fear of a direct shot.

05:37:05.660 --> 05:37:08.100
Now we can take the back corner boost instead.

05:37:08.100 --> 05:37:09.300
Big challenges from TRK.

05:37:09.300 --> 05:37:10.180
He is adapting.

05:37:10.180 --> 05:37:11.860
Doesn't want to discharge it.

05:37:11.860 --> 05:37:14.940
Headlong, it's every challenge.

05:37:14.940 --> 05:37:16.420
He's going to be knocked off now.

05:37:16.420 --> 05:37:18.620
He will have to bring his ball all the way down the ground

05:37:18.620 --> 05:37:19.780
and then flick top left.

05:37:19.780 --> 05:37:21.860
This is not an easy thing to do.

05:37:21.860 --> 05:37:24.140
He waits it out to see if TRK is going to throw

05:37:24.140 --> 05:37:25.500
any sort of big challenge towards him,

05:37:25.500 --> 05:37:27.980
but just only a very slight hesitation.

05:37:27.980 --> 05:37:30.100
He will be able to collect the ball on top of his car

05:37:30.100 --> 05:37:31.380
and that is not an easy flick.

05:37:31.380 --> 05:37:33.420
Perfect placement for the new boat.

05:37:33.420 --> 05:37:36.660
And TRK even faking a challenge in reverse there.

05:37:36.660 --> 05:37:43.460
just doing anything to try to trick his teammate but if somebody is going to know TRK and his

05:37:43.460 --> 05:37:50.260
tricks it would be this guy. Oh that's not the outcome that TRK was hoping for. The defense

05:37:51.060 --> 05:37:55.300
looked stronger than a minute but okay he's managed to see that whole 50 coming but he's been

05:37:55.300 --> 05:38:00.580
bumped mildly. Oh my goodness he's totally tripped up with his back partner it's the rain out.

05:38:00.580 --> 05:38:22.580
And Dupoe trying to give revenge, we just saw a battle of teammates in North America with a champion of the region playing his teammate who was coming in as the underdog, we've got more of the same here and actually we saw a game 1 win for Zach there and a game 1 win for TRK but the problem is he's not going to match Zach's start if he's not able to get this going here.

05:38:22.580 --> 05:38:27.580
It's Axle 2 away, Nupo on run in his first minute.

05:38:27.580 --> 05:38:33.580
Up 3-0 as TRK, already at the ground, Nupo has had enough of him getting any sort of space.

05:38:33.580 --> 05:38:41.580
TRK is a little bit too long to get situated there, that's a great 50-50 using the reset on the ball to set himself up for a wave dash.

05:38:41.580 --> 05:38:49.580
TRK is really trying to maximize the speed that he's got, being able to self-hear this good evasion in the midfield just to keep in control of this one.

05:38:49.580 --> 05:38:51.900
So I could really use a goal to stay in touch.

05:38:51.900 --> 05:38:53.420
He's not many chances.

05:38:53.420 --> 05:38:56.060
And again, he's been denied in the near post.

05:38:56.060 --> 05:38:59.260
You know, maybe the true winner we haven't spoken about yet,

05:38:59.260 --> 05:39:02.020
Munkimmin, just watched his teammates in the grand final.

05:39:02.020 --> 05:39:03.660
He's got to be pretty happy about being

05:39:03.660 --> 05:39:06.980
in the team of these two.

05:39:06.980 --> 05:39:08.500
No question.

05:39:08.500 --> 05:39:10.660
Terukai mixing up for his normal wave dash,

05:39:10.660 --> 05:39:12.100
trying to shoot in the air.

05:39:12.100 --> 05:39:12.940
He's going that red.

05:39:12.940 --> 05:39:14.860
This reset shot, trying to play keeper with Terukai.

05:39:14.860 --> 05:39:17.300
Good dive across the net to make the play.

05:39:17.300 --> 05:39:18.780
Has a good advantage.

05:39:18.780 --> 05:39:24.780
Rush this quickly, Nipple should be arriving to net late TRK to punish him, and Nipple climbs in, TRK's on the board.

05:39:25.780 --> 05:39:29.780
I just can't believe that he's still doing it, like every single time it works.

05:39:29.780 --> 05:39:36.780
You'd think that everybody would know that TRK is faking, but thinking back to his previous shot, he did actually play the reset.

05:39:36.780 --> 05:39:42.780
So I think that's probably what's going on in Nipple's mind, he's thinking, he went for the reset last night, maybe he's going to do that again.

05:39:42.780 --> 05:39:46.780
No, it's just the classic. TRK reset my game.

05:39:46.780 --> 05:39:49.780
He will do that so many times in this match.

05:39:50.780 --> 05:39:52.780
Really trying to take this dribble to the left of the field.

05:39:52.780 --> 05:39:54.780
Really bringing down the ground.

05:39:54.780 --> 05:39:57.780
You see that challenge turn in and TRK trying to take advantage of that,

05:39:57.780 --> 05:40:00.780
but great recovery back from Nupo to not let it go to the top of him.

05:40:00.780 --> 05:40:02.780
Great read from both players.

05:40:02.780 --> 05:40:04.780
Looks like it's getting a favor.

05:40:04.780 --> 05:40:06.780
The player in orange as he's now got control.

05:40:06.780 --> 05:40:09.780
And TRK in a really tough spot here.

05:40:09.780 --> 05:40:11.780
What a holy tough left.

05:40:11.780 --> 05:40:15.180
TRK was getting ready to defend and getting still pushed to pass them.

05:40:16.180 --> 05:40:18.980
I was wondering if TRK was expecting a pop-up of sorts

05:40:18.980 --> 05:40:20.980
because he jumped onto the back wall here.

05:40:21.380 --> 05:40:24.580
Trying to give himself a launch back to throw himself into the ball from.

05:40:25.580 --> 05:40:29.380
Still has time here, but the kickoffs are really going the way of the defending world champion.

05:40:29.780 --> 05:40:32.380
It's up to TRK to change things in that regard.

05:40:32.380 --> 05:40:35.580
We saw his head struggling in a similar way in Europe against NAS.

05:40:35.580 --> 05:40:38.980
Once NAS found a weakness, he just kept poking him broad in it.

05:40:38.980 --> 05:40:40.900
And that's what's happening here.

05:40:40.900 --> 05:40:43.740
Your case got lots of things you can do differently,

05:40:43.740 --> 05:40:46.140
whether it's time and the approach, angle of approach,

05:40:46.140 --> 05:40:48.020
or just go for a different strategy entirely,

05:40:48.020 --> 05:40:50.340
but no, you're just gonna stick to that front flip

05:40:50.340 --> 05:40:51.900
on the straight spot.

05:40:52.980 --> 05:40:54.620
Now you see both players go for it now,

05:40:54.620 --> 05:40:56.380
this front flip, that's quite a clean,

05:40:56.380 --> 05:40:58.220
good recovery in net.

05:40:58.220 --> 05:41:00.260
So you'll be able to pick up the hundred boost,

05:41:00.260 --> 05:41:02.420
maybe work something out as a good reset wave dash,

05:41:02.420 --> 05:41:03.260
what do you think?

05:41:03.260 --> 05:41:05.620
I'm not that close to it, buddy.

05:41:05.620 --> 05:41:07.620
Maybe a recent mind game.

05:41:07.620 --> 05:41:09.620
Maybe a recent mind game.

05:41:09.620 --> 05:41:11.620
You know, although that's hard to do,

05:41:11.620 --> 05:41:13.620
and that's the part of the TRK's game,

05:41:13.620 --> 05:41:15.620
I'm like, yo, whoa, careful.

05:41:15.620 --> 05:41:17.620
That's another great level save.

05:41:17.620 --> 05:41:19.620
I put up any type of top,

05:41:19.620 --> 05:41:21.620
because TRK is just producing

05:41:21.620 --> 05:41:23.620
absolute cinema in the goal line.

05:41:23.620 --> 05:41:25.620
But yeah, I am fear.

05:41:25.620 --> 05:41:27.620
I am very happy to see the...

05:41:27.620 --> 05:41:29.620
another great save, by the way.

05:41:29.620 --> 05:41:31.620
And one strategy that TRK's doing

05:41:31.620 --> 05:41:33.620
that we can both incorporate,

05:41:33.620 --> 05:41:36.300
definitely pull out an off if I get it.

05:41:36.300 --> 05:41:37.780
Yeah, for sure.

05:41:37.780 --> 05:41:40.380
Well, I can't do his survival as long as he just did.

05:41:40.380 --> 05:41:41.820
I'll get this attack.

05:41:41.820 --> 05:41:43.500
This is not easy to do.

05:41:43.500 --> 05:41:44.980
He didn't even have booster at the end,

05:41:44.980 --> 05:41:47.900
but a couple of different pumps will push him away.

05:41:47.900 --> 05:41:50.900
And this has just been full control from Nublau.

05:41:50.900 --> 05:41:54.140
A good bounce back as we started to believe

05:41:54.140 --> 05:41:55.340
in a potential knock on.

05:41:55.340 --> 05:42:00.260
He's going to make it 7-1, and we still got a minute 40.

05:42:00.260 --> 05:42:01.700
Yeah, TRK might stick around to this

05:42:01.700 --> 05:42:04.660
this who tried to figure out something that works here he's trying to push them

05:42:04.660 --> 05:42:09.180
off to the right but yeah that side on approach in the kickoff gets completely

05:42:09.180 --> 05:42:13.900
countered by a kill side as you see from that close so what the TRK drew here

05:42:13.900 --> 05:42:17.500
he did the exact same thing so he didn't really change anything there maybe he's

05:42:17.500 --> 05:42:21.700
going to just keep spamming the same losing kickoff for a couple more minutes

05:42:21.700 --> 05:42:27.740
and then switch up the next game and see the other option that he's got

05:42:27.740 --> 05:42:34.140
He's trying to use something spectacular in the air as he looks to see if he can find a miracle,

05:42:34.140 --> 05:42:38.540
maybe coming off the back of some crazy, recent play where he passes to himself up the ceiling,

05:42:38.540 --> 05:42:41.980
but he's going to take it away and deny the miracle.

05:42:43.580 --> 05:42:47.660
That's another insane play from the Defending World Champ.

05:42:48.700 --> 05:42:52.780
Lighting it up the ceiling. It's a standard for him, of course.

05:42:52.780 --> 05:42:57.780
He's running the belt, and you know, and other things here, if you can try two gears, get the last goal.

05:42:57.780 --> 05:43:03.780
And then, for Faker, he comes to the ceiling reset, doesn't play for the rebound, knows that the touch is going to connect.

05:43:03.780 --> 05:43:13.780
For his teammate, almost days, opponent today, the players try to steal the ball from each other, on opposite sides of their goal.

05:43:13.780 --> 05:43:21.780
Pretty much a chess match that's here, Faker is used to playing historically, but I think the annoying thing from now is he's just met his match mechanically.

05:43:21.780 --> 05:43:27.380
I'm by a fair margin. This has been a personal game. Oh, I love what's it past to the post

05:43:28.180 --> 05:43:30.180
Pogo shot and the rebounds

05:43:30.540 --> 05:43:31.980
91

05:43:31.980 --> 05:43:33.500
You love to see it

05:43:33.500 --> 05:43:36.500
info showing off right now great job at keeping it away

05:43:36.500 --> 05:43:40.020
I mean there's nothing Sierra K can do when he's setting up on that left side of that the back wall

05:43:40.500 --> 05:43:44.740
Just told way, you know, I'm actually surprised. I even saw him go for that

05:43:44.740 --> 05:43:49.740
Maybe he's not willing to kind of troll his about teammate, but normally look what's going on one in

05:43:49.740 --> 05:43:53.840
I've seen him go back and forth where he sets up the air dribble on the left

05:43:53.840 --> 05:43:56.560
You know the back left corner boost and if it doesn't get challenged

05:43:56.560 --> 05:44:00.720
He just cuts the ball back goes to the right side and looks to send it over and over when he has a lead

05:44:00.720 --> 05:44:03.820
It says you have to come challenge me. I'm not gonna go until you force me to

05:44:04.140 --> 05:44:08.460
But maybe he's like, you know what I have more respect for TRK. I'm not gonna force you

05:44:08.460 --> 05:44:12.240
I'm just gonna go instead. I'm gonna pogo on him, which I don't know if that's better or worse

05:44:12.240 --> 05:44:14.660
But you did at least bring the game to him

05:44:15.700 --> 05:44:19.120
I mean he is just trying to rush the Benzel

05:44:19.740 --> 05:44:25.620
10-2 devastating defeat for TRK after a close game one.

05:44:25.620 --> 05:44:28.380
It's like James said on the desk.

05:44:28.380 --> 05:44:32.300
TRK's winning the previous match of these two of the play was a close game

05:44:32.300 --> 05:44:36.500
and he did take a lot of beatings in the losses.

05:44:36.500 --> 05:44:40.460
So more of the same in the grand final.

05:44:40.460 --> 05:44:42.100
Decided to play it out anyway though.

05:44:42.100 --> 05:44:46.660
Maybe trying to tire out and let the apple punch himself out perhaps.

05:44:46.660 --> 05:44:49.700
Just exhaust his thumbs or something.

05:44:49.700 --> 05:44:55.500
I don't know what the reason is, but hopefully, for his sake, he'll be able to tell us like,

05:44:55.500 --> 05:44:57.500
you're on the winner's end.

05:44:57.500 --> 05:45:03.980
Yeah, I don't know if you want to let people play any more than he already does, because

05:45:03.980 --> 05:45:10.580
I watched him play against Moxie to win that grand championship we were talking about,

05:45:10.580 --> 05:45:12.940
and he just got better and better.

05:45:12.940 --> 05:45:17.100
As he got into the zone, as he was able to, you know, he seemed like he was bopping to

05:45:17.100 --> 05:45:19.780
of music taking a sip of his water after every goal.

05:45:19.780 --> 05:45:21.540
I mean, you let 11 goals in.

05:45:21.540 --> 05:45:23.100
You let 11 sips in.

05:45:23.100 --> 05:45:25.500
You know, he's been able to rehydrate a ton of different

05:45:25.500 --> 05:45:27.260
times, and you don't want to let that happen.

05:45:27.260 --> 05:45:31.300
You've got to forfeit in order to keep that hydration down.

05:45:31.300 --> 05:45:34.820
Maybe it is midnight if I'm not mistaken inside of Arabia.

05:45:34.820 --> 05:45:37.540
These guys do stay up very late in the summer.

05:45:37.540 --> 05:45:39.420
It's so hot here today.

05:45:39.420 --> 05:45:41.460
The night is a lot more livable.

05:45:41.460 --> 05:45:42.380
But who knows?

05:45:42.380 --> 05:45:44.020
Maybe they've been saying in voice chat,

05:45:44.020 --> 05:45:47.840
waiting for the for the NA match to finish that they get to their

05:45:47.840 --> 05:45:51.780
vinaigrette final. And if that's the case, who knows, maybe

05:45:51.780 --> 05:45:54.420
TRK knows something we don't, maybe he's too busy, a little bit

05:45:54.420 --> 05:45:57.920
sleepy, maybe he's too young under the mic. And that's what he's

05:45:57.920 --> 05:45:59.100
trying to capitalize on here.

05:45:59.820 --> 05:46:03.900
Yeah, it's a fortunate it just speaks to how good Nupo is that

05:46:03.900 --> 05:46:06.100
we're like, maybe we can make him tired.

05:46:08.900 --> 05:46:11.980
Certainly can't stop him on the field. So you got to try and get

05:46:11.980 --> 05:46:24.980
I mean, 11-2 is the biggest example in that it feels like we're just gonna expect this the rest of the series. I would be not surprised at all to see more the same for three more games before it ends.

05:46:24.980 --> 05:46:35.980
So, you know, the TRK has something special. Is he keeping something in his back pocket? Maybe he didn't change his kickoff intentionally so that he could actually use it when it's going to matter more here in game number three.

05:46:35.980 --> 05:46:39.980
that is the hope of them if

05:46:39.980 --> 05:46:40.980
you're a T. R. K. fan. Otherwise

05:46:40.980 --> 05:46:41.980
you're just watching, you know,

05:46:41.980 --> 05:46:43.980
new for roll through. Yeah,

05:46:43.980 --> 05:46:45.980
this is a must win game. He's

05:46:45.980 --> 05:46:47.980
got to stay close here. It all

05:46:47.980 --> 05:46:49.980
starts with kickoff wins and he

05:46:49.980 --> 05:46:51.980
has won this one. So I'm

05:46:51.980 --> 05:46:53.980
thinking maybe he did just found

05:46:53.980 --> 05:46:55.980
the same losing kickoff in the

05:46:55.980 --> 05:46:57.980
last game. Great fake as well

05:46:57.980 --> 05:47:01.980
from T. R. K. trickiest player

05:47:01.980 --> 05:47:03.980
in the one scene. But this is

05:47:03.980 --> 05:47:09.980
Okay, attention here. I want to see TRK go left if I'm seeing a change.

05:47:09.980 --> 05:47:15.980
Okay, well, he's kind of covered middle there, so he's definitely blocking that hit golf goal that occurred.

05:47:15.980 --> 05:47:20.980
Instead, it's a kickoff possession, which is not a lot easier when you're up against that goal.

05:47:20.980 --> 05:47:24.980
Yeah, definitely not. Most of the time, those get converted anyways.

05:47:24.980 --> 05:47:27.980
Longer TRK gets a boost, respawn.

05:47:27.980 --> 05:47:36.980
Oh, horseback puts, you know, I was going to say still in control, even with TRK getting the ball there, that immediate challenge keeps possession.

05:47:36.980 --> 05:47:38.980
He was favored, now he's in a bit more trouble.

05:47:38.980 --> 05:47:42.980
It's going to get back up for a real chance here for TRK, just going to force to net.

05:47:42.980 --> 05:47:45.980
And now, was that good enough to get possession?

05:47:45.980 --> 05:47:47.980
Oh, it was. Easy save, counter one.

05:47:47.980 --> 05:47:51.980
Oh, wow, Lick, he's completely missed the ball, and he did not fake out TRK.

05:47:51.980 --> 05:47:58.980
I wonder if that's going to be the weaker side. We've seen a lot of flicks go in the other way like this one. They've all been good.

05:47:58.980 --> 05:48:03.980
I think it was going right, was a bit more doggy there.

05:48:03.980 --> 05:48:07.980
But that, I mean, that's perfect. Towards the left, it's going to pay attention to this.

05:48:07.980 --> 05:48:14.980
Foxy as well as Europe is similar. If you look at the cars blinking to the left, even in the highest level of pro play,

05:48:14.980 --> 05:48:20.580
You will see preferences with air roll, which wall to fly off, which flick to go for.

05:48:20.580 --> 05:48:25.700
This one is left as well, and it's really good, yeah, he's trying to parry me like...

05:48:26.700 --> 05:48:31.060
Yeah, I wonder if you did the same, or at least I was on Noopo, can you get the same frontflip kickoff?

05:48:31.060 --> 05:48:35.540
I don't know if this is like a twisted mind strategy, if the coach, you know, told him before the tournament,

05:48:35.540 --> 05:48:38.300
you know, you got to be focusing on your just straight frontflip kickoffs.

05:48:38.300 --> 05:48:41.540
Apparently they both agree that they're very useful, it's not something you see very often.

05:48:41.540 --> 05:48:44.020
This time, it's gonna favor Noopo.

05:48:44.020 --> 05:48:48.560
Now they're working to go over to more standing kick-ups as they try and force the ball through each other.

05:48:48.820 --> 05:48:53.020
People are going to be the big winner here as he lets his ball go to the wall. Interesting.

05:48:53.020 --> 05:48:58.020
He could have taken a dribble earlier and almost allowed the ball to become more awkward before starting it.

05:48:58.020 --> 05:49:00.020
This isn't something you want to do very often.

05:49:00.520 --> 05:49:04.020
Okay, and new ball just fooming the ball back and forth now though.

05:49:07.020 --> 05:49:10.020
Something that you'll see from them in any game, well, they really do move the ball.

05:49:10.020 --> 05:49:12.020
We spoke with that earlier with the first skiller on the pitch.

05:49:12.020 --> 05:49:14.020
Oh, DRK didn't mean that my game.

05:49:14.020 --> 05:49:18.020
You might get a goal off it, not quite as the boost is there in defense.

05:49:18.020 --> 05:49:21.020
The immediate shot is not quite good enough.

05:49:21.020 --> 05:49:24.020
The ball is absolutely rapidly moving around the pitch here.

05:49:24.020 --> 05:49:27.020
DRK is trying to get it moving the other direction.

05:49:27.020 --> 05:49:30.020
A lot of boost speakers here, though, has to be careful.

05:49:30.020 --> 05:49:34.020
He is the advantage for now.

05:49:34.020 --> 05:49:35.020
Oh, not to the side.

05:49:35.020 --> 05:49:36.020
Was going to cut it right in.

05:49:36.020 --> 05:49:37.020
Trying to get advantage.

05:49:37.020 --> 05:49:38.020
Oh, Nupo just challenged me.

05:49:38.020 --> 05:49:39.020
Wow.

05:49:39.020 --> 05:49:41.020
You see him prepping for defense along the goal line.

05:49:41.020 --> 05:49:46.300
The goal line notices TRK has slowed down, just keeps that momentum, and dives in in challenges.

05:49:46.300 --> 05:49:50.460
Info is the fastest player in the game, and he's showing why he's so good at that in ones.

05:49:50.460 --> 05:49:55.620
And now, he's got control around Scylla and Hank, and he's got a reset here, so he's going to be forced down the ground,

05:49:55.620 --> 05:49:57.120
whether he wanted to or not.

05:49:57.120 --> 05:50:00.740
Zeshin will switch into the backflip challenge, could wave dash recovery from TRK,

05:50:00.740 --> 05:50:03.020
a flick could be dangerous instead of he fakes it.

05:50:03.020 --> 05:50:04.120
Info makes it safe.

05:50:04.120 --> 05:50:07.420
Yeah, he didn't like the lane on that one, he decided not to pull the trigger.

05:50:07.420 --> 05:50:10.620
I'm thinking it's going to get saved, or maybe just go straight into the post.

05:50:10.620 --> 05:50:13.420
Why do I instead just go for the light there again?

05:50:13.420 --> 05:50:16.820
How does he keep getting away with this?

05:50:16.820 --> 05:50:19.380
Noob on the back wall did not want to try and challenge

05:50:19.380 --> 05:50:20.860
the rest of your team went to the ground.

05:50:20.860 --> 05:50:24.300
Yet another fake auto-wave dash shots.

05:50:24.300 --> 05:50:25.300
It's so tough to stop.

05:50:25.300 --> 05:50:26.860
I mean, you're going to see lots of different players do it.

05:50:26.860 --> 05:50:28.700
It's not like it's only TRK's move,

05:50:28.700 --> 05:50:32.580
but clearly he is very good at executing it at the highest level.

05:50:32.580 --> 05:50:35.980
And it is such an effective play.

05:50:35.980 --> 05:50:37.780
Oh, I love that for TRK.

05:50:37.780 --> 05:50:39.140
He made it look like a big challenge

05:50:39.140 --> 05:50:43.980
it to the last second here. If he had just thrown himself at this, I think it would have

05:50:43.980 --> 05:50:48.580
been too predictable. But by driving up slowly, almost like a predator stalking his prey in

05:50:48.580 --> 05:50:52.260
the long grass, it's like maybe if I move slowly, he's not going to see me coming.

05:50:52.260 --> 05:50:58.300
Good surprise. Good lead for TRK. Big bounce back. He's already beat his scoring from the

05:50:58.300 --> 05:51:04.180
last game. Yeah, 2-2-Nuples-11. He's got 3 now and he has a lead, which is even more

05:51:04.180 --> 05:51:08.540
important. He's going to back off when he sees TRK being aggressive, pinching it on the wall

05:51:08.540 --> 05:51:12.540
away from him now staring down to see what he's up to see if he's going to turn back on the ball

05:51:12.540 --> 05:51:17.260
will say the ton of boost left over wow I'm surprised he didn't go for it I thought him

05:51:17.260 --> 05:51:21.580
would take advantage of that and rush towards the ball but he just waits wow TRK takes it away

05:51:22.860 --> 05:51:28.300
that is amazing small pad pathing by TRK he had his EF ball come on the whole time and he hit

05:51:28.300 --> 05:51:33.100
every single small pad in an arc to keep this boost up high enough and you can see that he needed

05:51:33.100 --> 05:51:36.180
every single ice at the end.

05:51:37.060 --> 05:51:39.340
Well, no, I thought he was first star because he would have been

05:51:39.340 --> 05:51:42.700
had he not path perfectly over those pads in a circle.

05:51:44.580 --> 05:51:49.700
Now the Fendi champ down to have to play from behind.

05:51:50.620 --> 05:51:53.380
The Tier-K, he's fine with winning close games.

05:51:53.380 --> 05:51:56.500
I don't think he minds if he gets four of those close game wins.

05:51:56.780 --> 05:51:59.340
That's fine with him. Oh, my goodness, what a flick.

05:51:59.340 --> 05:52:00.940
It's slightly off target.

05:52:00.940 --> 05:52:02.300
People trying to take advantage of it.

05:52:02.300 --> 05:52:03.300
Tierkei was off the ceiling.

05:52:03.300 --> 05:52:04.300
Good cut here.

05:52:04.300 --> 05:52:05.580
As both these players give you a long boost,

05:52:05.580 --> 05:52:06.980
they're going to swing away from each other

05:52:06.980 --> 05:52:09.740
to grab 100 try and return back to the ball.

05:52:09.740 --> 05:52:10.940
Tierkei got a sidewall set up,

05:52:10.940 --> 05:52:11.780
and he lost it away.

05:52:11.780 --> 05:52:14.780
It should be an easy enough save for Nupo,

05:52:14.780 --> 05:52:16.740
who needs two goals and needs good possession.

05:52:16.740 --> 05:52:19.660
But again, just kind of a flub touch into a completely

05:52:19.660 --> 05:52:21.620
misplaced Tierkei though, maybe not

05:52:21.620 --> 05:52:25.100
able to take advantage as much as I was expecting.

05:52:25.100 --> 05:52:27.180
You mentioned earlier on last year,

05:52:27.180 --> 05:52:30.940
in the Quest for World Championship in 1v1.

05:52:30.940 --> 05:52:34.660
It was in Mina that now will face the biggest challenge

05:52:34.660 --> 05:52:36.140
for Wastukima game seven.

05:52:36.140 --> 05:52:39.300
He only went game five with Diaz and Moxie on land.

05:52:39.300 --> 05:52:43.060
And once again, it's in Mina, in the grand final,

05:52:43.060 --> 05:52:44.740
that he's facing a big test.

05:52:44.740 --> 05:52:47.420
This time at the hands of his 3v3 teammates,

05:52:47.420 --> 05:52:52.660
the RK, the greatest Middle East player to ever play the game.

05:52:52.660 --> 05:52:56.420
He has still done it to this day, years on,

05:52:56.420 --> 05:52:58.940
brought me his own debut.

05:52:58.940 --> 05:53:01.540
TRK will already have done something

05:53:01.540 --> 05:53:02.900
no one has done in a long time.

05:53:02.900 --> 05:53:04.820
So he stays cool for that backflip save.

05:53:04.820 --> 05:53:06.660
Even getting a second win is something

05:53:06.660 --> 05:53:09.660
that no one's done against Nupo so far in this event.

05:53:09.660 --> 05:53:12.300
Not even TRK himself when he played earlier.

05:53:12.300 --> 05:53:14.900
And he never bracket, he's so calm right now in defense.

05:53:14.900 --> 05:53:16.220
Despite having such little boost,

05:53:16.220 --> 05:53:18.340
Nupo finally can break him down.

05:53:18.340 --> 05:53:20.660
He's got 25 seconds to get two more.

05:53:20.660 --> 05:53:22.820
Yeah, I was loving the composure and defense.

05:53:22.820 --> 05:53:24.700
There's so many big challenges from TRK.

05:53:24.700 --> 05:53:29.220
This time he tries for a reverse challenge, hoping that it's not going to be predictable.

05:53:29.220 --> 05:53:31.260
About 25 seconds to go, it's game on.

05:53:31.260 --> 05:53:32.500
T-R-K has got to be careful here.

05:53:32.500 --> 05:53:36.380
He's lost a lot of kickoff goals in these games already.

05:53:36.380 --> 05:53:38.100
Needs to get solidly behind this ball.

05:53:38.100 --> 05:53:39.140
And he does.

05:53:39.140 --> 05:53:40.500
He might get one of his own.

05:53:40.500 --> 05:53:43.260
He does, and it's 6-3.

05:53:43.260 --> 05:53:47.100
That's about as good as it could possibly go on the kickoff.

05:53:47.100 --> 05:53:50.020
T-R-K forcing that to the right, hoping to push it out there.

05:53:50.020 --> 05:53:53.340
But T-R-K just quicker and better on the ball.

05:53:53.340 --> 05:53:55.100
It gets the advantage.

05:53:55.100 --> 05:53:57.020
Now you're going to get out of the kickoffs, you know?

05:53:57.020 --> 05:53:57.900
It's important.

05:53:57.900 --> 05:53:58.700
This is meant for play.

05:53:58.700 --> 05:54:00.660
If you're not just going to keep scoring goals,

05:54:00.660 --> 05:54:03.780
if people can't get three straight back to one power shot,

05:54:03.780 --> 05:54:04.980
yeah, we'll get one of them.

05:54:04.980 --> 05:54:06.780
And that took not nearly enough time

05:54:06.780 --> 05:54:08.460
to actually waste all the time off the clock.

05:54:08.460 --> 05:54:12.060
So now TRK needs to escape the kickoff to Spirit G.

05:54:12.060 --> 05:54:14.420
I would like to drive kickoff to TRK.

05:54:14.420 --> 05:54:17.140
I think he's got to do something different here.

05:54:17.140 --> 05:54:19.580
Just for one more go.

05:54:19.580 --> 05:54:20.740
Really stick to standard.

05:54:20.740 --> 05:54:21.340
He will.

05:54:21.340 --> 05:54:23.300
He's trusting his mechanics here.

05:54:23.300 --> 05:54:29.860
which is so difficult to do in a matchup that's this mechanically intense, but he's done it.

05:54:29.860 --> 05:54:35.660
TRK, after an 11-2 defeat, wins game three.

05:54:35.660 --> 05:54:39.580
He's got the dependent world champ on the ropes.

05:54:39.580 --> 05:54:42.980
It's crazy to think about because we've seen so many different goals.

05:54:42.980 --> 05:54:44.700
Shirley Noob was winning in the series, right?

05:54:44.700 --> 05:54:48.580
Having that 11-2 game, you just spread those out over the rest of this time that we've

05:54:48.580 --> 05:54:49.580
watched them.

05:54:49.580 --> 05:54:56.060
had a big advantage, but it's TRK in the driver's seat, 2-1 up over Miprol. I know no one else has

05:54:56.060 --> 05:55:01.180
been 2-1 up because no one has gotten two games off of him yet. It was probably lost last time,

05:55:01.180 --> 05:55:06.300
you know, at least in the RLCS that someone was able to get more games. TRK proven to be just

05:55:06.300 --> 05:55:08.700
as big of a problem here in this great finals.

05:55:09.580 --> 05:55:15.820
And there were some jinks in the arbor there from my bow. But first of all, I mean, it might get

05:55:15.820 --> 05:55:27.820
I think it's a tier care working. His plays are actually working, which is huge because he can get goals just from his own people plays. That's obviously an important aspect of winning.

05:55:27.820 --> 05:55:37.820
But the fact that we're seeing some mis touches and some misplicks, we're just not used to seeing that from the defender world champ is usually so brutally efficient and consistent.

05:55:37.820 --> 05:55:44.540
I think TRK Maya got understood a little bit, and it might be a comeback, well it will be a comeback as needed, but

05:55:46.180 --> 05:55:48.620
What an important game we've got coming up after the timeout?

05:55:49.180 --> 05:55:56.140
Yeah, timeout by NuPo. We've seen timeouts very seldom used. Tons of players are down to just go next very quickly

05:55:56.140 --> 05:55:58.980
You know, sometimes they're doing almost the opposite of a timeout

05:55:58.980 --> 05:56:04.380
They're they're forfeiting getting right back into the next game right away with nothing at all in terms of taking a break

05:56:04.380 --> 05:56:07.600
But we didn't even see two game wins in a row, which a lot of, you know,

05:56:07.600 --> 05:56:11.000
coaches and teams, when we see three people on the field, they reserved that

05:56:11.000 --> 05:56:14.880
timeout. No, we haven't seen is we saw tons of timeouts in the lead.

05:56:15.380 --> 05:56:18.880
Last time around this time, more conventional use, but people clearly

05:56:18.880 --> 05:56:22.080
does not like how his game losses have been going.

05:56:22.440 --> 05:56:25.240
He hasn't been able to win the close ones, which there's something to be said about

05:56:25.240 --> 05:56:28.840
that, you know, he has to blow it out of the water right away.

05:56:28.840 --> 05:56:32.520
Otherwise, he hasn't been able to clutch up TRK, maybe the king of clutch over in

05:56:32.520 --> 05:56:41.520
that. It's very interesting to

05:56:41.520 --> 05:56:43.520
note that. T. R. K. Lost almost

05:56:43.520 --> 05:56:45.520
every kickoff game to he didn't

05:56:45.520 --> 05:56:47.520
switch up a lot. We're wondering

05:56:47.520 --> 05:56:48.520
is that going to is that trying

05:56:48.520 --> 05:56:49.520
going to continue, but straight

05:56:49.520 --> 05:56:51.520
away in Game three, he gets much

05:56:51.520 --> 05:56:52.520
more goal side on every single

05:56:52.520 --> 05:56:54.520
contact. So when we're talking

05:56:54.520 --> 05:56:56.520
about goal side, he's getting as

05:56:56.520 --> 05:56:58.520
between the ball and his goal as

05:56:58.520 --> 05:57:00.520
possible when the kickoff impact

05:57:00.520 --> 05:57:04.560
the game itself. So, yeah,

05:57:04.660 --> 05:57:08.460
we're going to get this one

05:57:08.560 --> 05:57:14.460
started momentarily. TRK two

05:57:14.560 --> 05:57:16.560
one up, but yeah, those are

05:57:16.660 --> 05:57:18.560
the second two games is the

05:57:18.660 --> 05:57:20.560
next two. No doubt will be

05:57:20.660 --> 05:57:22.560
even harder to get. Yeah, and

05:57:22.660 --> 05:57:24.560
the next two will be even

05:57:24.660 --> 05:57:26.560
harder to get. Yeah, and the

05:57:26.660 --> 05:57:28.560
next two will be even harder

05:57:28.560 --> 05:57:34.720
even harder to get. Yeah, this makes me think back to the Falcons domination. It's maybe fallen off

05:57:34.720 --> 05:57:41.120
here a little bit in Mina and 3v3, but TRK was part of those teams that did so well, and you could

05:57:41.120 --> 05:57:46.240
beat them in, you know, some other part of the bracket, you know, before the grand final. Sometimes

05:57:46.240 --> 05:57:50.960
occasionally Falcons will lose. Falcons in that grand final are different. Now we have no Falcons,

05:57:50.960 --> 05:57:54.880
to be fair, I'm talking about TRK's old teams. TRK now, you know, a twisted mind player with

05:57:54.880 --> 05:58:02.880
But TRK is that player who's just impossible to meet so many different people, you know, they celebrate because I got second

05:58:02.880 --> 05:58:06.820
I got second to TRK. I was able to get to the grand final. You know, I almost beat him

05:58:07.060 --> 05:58:12.420
Maybe there's that level of clutch that even in ones TRK has he didn't make it to the grand final last time this time

05:58:12.420 --> 05:58:14.420
He's here. He's a force to be reckoned with

05:58:15.320 --> 05:58:17.620
And here we go again for this

05:58:18.400 --> 05:58:20.400
midfield play from the get go

05:58:20.400 --> 05:58:27.040
open play to find in ones if both players can get boost after a kickoff and

05:58:27.040 --> 05:58:32.640
posture up to contest the possession so that was a pretty even one oh here goes

05:58:32.640 --> 05:58:37.320
got under with the mind game I don't think you bet this one if he did this

05:58:37.320 --> 05:58:42.120
on purpose that is extraordinary because he's got a head of the ball

05:58:42.120 --> 05:58:48.000
how does he come up with these ideas it's beautifully wave dashes out back

05:58:48.000 --> 05:58:59.000
towards the patch and cuts it in. Everything is going TRK's way. He is trusted himself with those resets down to the ground.

05:58:59.000 --> 05:59:04.000
I saved Nupo, forced back, but TRK not gonna be able to pick up much boost in this extended attack.

05:59:04.000 --> 05:59:08.000
Nupo face goes below and gets the first.

05:59:08.000 --> 05:59:10.000
Yeah, it's scary.

05:59:10.000 --> 05:59:14.000
Yeah, TRK had to cover something here.

05:59:14.000 --> 05:59:16.000
He decided to cover the flick.

05:59:16.000 --> 05:59:20.000
And, yeah, Yard is going to concede the low 50 in that position.

05:59:20.000 --> 05:59:22.000
He's got to keep that in mind, though.

05:59:22.000 --> 05:59:26.000
These are the mind games that are constantly going on in 1v1.

05:59:26.000 --> 05:59:28.000
It's not just about the play that's happening right now.

05:59:28.000 --> 05:59:32.000
It's about remembering what did the opponent do the last time they were in this spot.

05:59:32.000 --> 05:59:36.000
And do you think they're going to go for the same thing again?

05:59:38.000 --> 05:59:41.840
Well, almost got a good bounce. Still gonna be in great position though.

05:59:41.840 --> 05:59:43.760
We'll lose the ball to the ground.

05:59:43.760 --> 05:59:46.000
That's TRK though on Boost. We're gonna switch sides again.

05:59:46.000 --> 05:59:49.520
And Nupo, who starts with Boost, is gonna be the first one to the opposite corner,

05:59:49.520 --> 05:59:52.720
as he keeps TRK on pads. This is the one we won jail.

05:59:52.720 --> 05:59:55.040
I was mentioning earlier in the broadcast that you can get put in,

05:59:55.040 --> 05:59:57.760
and it was put TRK in this jail.

05:59:57.760 --> 05:59:59.840
It's continued to reflix over and over again.

05:59:59.840 --> 06:00:02.080
TRK still hasn't been able to pick up more than a pad.

06:00:02.080 --> 06:00:03.280
Here or there, this is a big moment.

06:00:03.280 --> 06:00:04.000
Wow!

06:00:04.000 --> 06:00:06.080
Everything that gets it out in front, it just landed!

06:00:06.080 --> 06:00:13.360
in it. What's saved by TRK? In and out of his own net, in the blink of an eye. And he's

06:00:13.360 --> 06:00:17.520
dunked it so hard, it's almost got in without a bounce. I mean, you're not going to see

06:00:17.520 --> 06:00:23.560
a better save than that. And it was off the back of consistent pressure as well.

06:00:23.560 --> 06:00:28.960
What a jailbreak! I said TRK was in jail. And what I did not realize is he was moments

06:00:28.960 --> 06:00:34.040
away from scoring. So, maybe, I mean, people have to keep going. I mean, you have to feel

06:00:34.040 --> 06:00:38.040
good about having somebody completely backed in on zero boost and even when

06:00:38.040 --> 06:00:40.640
they're going in and out of the net that's actually usually a good sign to it

06:00:40.640 --> 06:00:45.280
they're panicking to try to get high. Finally, this time he's gonna get his goal.

06:00:45.280 --> 06:00:51.320
Yeah, great call on the block here. TRK trying to back down and out but he's just

06:00:51.320 --> 06:00:55.360
lost control now he got a bit too far away from it so it's a bit obvious that

06:00:55.360 --> 06:01:00.560
he wasn't gonna flip into the ball. Notice that a lot of the time the TRK's

06:01:00.560 --> 06:01:07.040
who's starved. He's got to look out for low 50s. Nice bump there after the kickoff.

06:01:07.040 --> 06:01:13.920
When tier-k is starved, that is when he is most susceptible to the low 50 and I think

06:01:13.920 --> 06:01:17.440
he's got to be able to notice that. He's going to be staying lower in a lot of his challenges.

06:01:19.200 --> 06:01:23.600
We're trying to play keep away. It's tier-k 1 to be a pass. He's got control now and that is

06:01:23.600 --> 06:01:29.520
showing as open, but tier-k shuts it as soon as he's open to the window and now he's right back

06:01:29.520 --> 06:01:33.280
on the ball. Nupro did not, you know, pull the trigger immediately when he saw some open space.

06:01:33.280 --> 06:01:38.000
And TRK gets this one! Oh my goodness! Nupro missed it, made it possible!

06:01:39.280 --> 06:01:43.120
He can't get this. It's going to be TRK's ball. This is unbelievable.

06:01:43.120 --> 06:01:47.040
We're seeing some inaccuracies from the World Champ, but TRK is defending. Like,

06:01:47.040 --> 06:01:51.360
right from last, and there's strikes to the bottom left. Wow, wave that shot.

06:01:52.880 --> 06:01:56.880
You don't want to let TRK get to this spot, but sometimes you have no other choice as you're

06:01:56.880 --> 06:02:03.200
rotating back no angle to dive in it beat even worse so you let TRK bring that ball

06:02:03.200 --> 06:02:07.120
down to the ground and he is never gonna lack power when he wants it he finds it

06:02:07.120 --> 06:02:11.720
and he's got a lead and it feels like even with TRK in the lead earlier you're

06:02:11.720 --> 06:02:15.760
up to one in the series oh we're just waiting for people to get going yeah

06:02:15.760 --> 06:02:21.840
approach half-time in this game and TRK is still leading. Oh! TRK believers are

06:02:21.840 --> 06:02:26.240
definitely gonna be feeling they're in a good spot. Oh this is a ridiculous play

06:02:26.240 --> 06:02:31.460
Both players trying to stay with us here again. He's got the right side of it. The burst is spawning

06:02:31.460 --> 06:02:36.800
Oh, it's not spot yet though. He stopped moving on it and he's considered as a result

06:02:36.800 --> 06:02:41.540
I feel like the updates kind of made him here because you can see that it was lit up

06:02:41.540 --> 06:02:44.700
But it wasn't quite there for TRK

06:02:46.200 --> 06:02:51.860
Okay, he's got time to play on the new updates just as much as new for at least

06:02:52.520 --> 06:02:54.280
too made

06:02:54.280 --> 06:03:02.760
Looking to get that one back. It's gonna have a great kickoff. Possession on top of his car, fake challenge. Doesn't make him phased at all.

06:03:02.760 --> 06:03:07.120
But he is bringing the ball to the back wall, so no need for a big contact.

06:03:07.120 --> 06:03:09.520
Not a lot to be done there. A hundred for a long boost.

06:03:09.520 --> 06:03:14.680
Flip, TRK wants to try and end possession here. This time he does get away with not using the flip.

06:03:14.680 --> 06:03:21.440
He's able to pull it down to the ground. Great challenge as TRK far out going for his reset landings.

06:03:21.440 --> 06:03:25.440
And all the boost is in favor of Nubos, but TRK, even though he's on the ball,

06:03:25.440 --> 06:03:30.240
was expecting to be able to get possession here quickly. That flick, maybe not quite good enough,

06:03:30.240 --> 06:03:33.680
and of course straight down the field. A strong flick might have scored, but he popped it too far up.

06:03:33.680 --> 06:03:40.160
Not enough lateral power in order to score. He's just trying to make the most of a boost advantage

06:03:40.160 --> 06:03:46.960
earlier there. TRK, defending so bravely, he is keeping up the pace. So he'll keep up those back

06:03:46.960 --> 06:03:56.960
the game. It's a lot of 50 50s.

06:03:56.960 --> 06:03:58.960
He's absolutely with that. Can

06:03:58.960 --> 06:04:02.960
you believe it? Tier

06:04:02.960 --> 06:04:06.960
gate leads off a wall Miss on

06:04:06.960 --> 06:04:08.960
the turn up. He almost never

06:04:08.960 --> 06:04:11.960
see that. That is not a

06:04:11.960 --> 06:04:14.960
mistake that he makes.

06:04:14.960 --> 06:04:20.640
a little bit. That seems to not seem to be maintaining his fundamentals in this crucial

06:04:20.640 --> 06:04:24.800
grand final. Not for maybe for a second if I'm going for a demo, but he pulled away from it.

06:04:24.800 --> 06:04:30.160
Got TRK on pads. TRK escaped for a easy counter attack last time this time. It is going to be

06:04:30.160 --> 06:04:34.800
due, but we get to go all soft touch and we're equal. Yeah, and again, it's that low 50. As soon

06:04:34.800 --> 06:04:39.920
as he gets to RK Booster, he's going for the low 50s. He knows that he's going to recover faster

06:04:39.920 --> 06:04:42.320
with the boost advantage.

06:04:42.320 --> 06:04:45.520
And he has had so many shots this game, 13 to 8.

06:04:45.520 --> 06:04:47.720
TRK's got eight saves.

06:04:47.720 --> 06:04:49.520
Really did such a good job in defense,

06:04:49.520 --> 06:04:53.000
but can he get his lead back again here?

06:04:53.000 --> 06:04:54.160
Fighting for the back corner boost,

06:04:54.160 --> 06:04:55.520
goes the way of that point.

06:04:55.520 --> 06:04:57.520
It's going to be TRK retreating.

06:04:57.520 --> 06:04:58.800
Chance for a late lead.

06:04:58.800 --> 06:05:00.000
But TRK launches it.

06:05:00.000 --> 06:05:02.000
How are you trying to find the ball in his approach?

06:05:02.000 --> 06:05:04.000
Delays it for a bit.

06:05:04.000 --> 06:05:06.600
And you even saw a ball came down from Newport.

06:05:06.600 --> 06:05:07.600
See if you could see around it.

06:05:07.600 --> 06:05:08.720
See the challenge, but it was too late.

06:05:08.720 --> 06:05:11.940
He stopped left side of the net. It's interesting.

06:05:11.940 --> 06:05:14.580
TRK is showing that and Nupo has not been able to punish.

06:05:14.580 --> 06:05:16.260
Maybe I've just watched too much Moxie film,

06:05:16.260 --> 06:05:18.060
but I know Moxie, given that opportunity,

06:05:18.060 --> 06:05:20.460
would absolutely rip one top left.

06:05:20.460 --> 06:05:22.540
Licks maybe not the best game for Nupo.

06:05:22.540 --> 06:05:23.500
He prefers being in the air.

06:05:23.500 --> 06:05:24.340
That's where he's going to go now,

06:05:24.340 --> 06:05:25.860
trying to get an air jump on top of this one.

06:05:25.860 --> 06:05:27.980
Connected the demo to get the lead.

06:05:28.980 --> 06:05:30.740
Great switch up.

06:05:30.740 --> 06:05:34.620
Had TRK shadowing and he just pops the ball up,

06:05:34.620 --> 06:05:36.260
slams TRK out of the way.

06:05:36.260 --> 06:05:43.240
He's going to have one chance of this, though, has to be so efficient with this feel for

06:05:43.240 --> 06:05:52.020
chair dribble in. That's not the start that you needed. Keeps it up. Still a chance. Still

06:05:52.020 --> 06:05:59.060
going to have one more opportunity to get back to this. And he does. He's going to

06:05:59.060 --> 06:06:15.060
He's going to get back to this and he does. Well, this is something special from TRK recycling the bill put chair dribble. The Hobartian challenge is so annoying to look at and that's going to be enough.

06:06:15.060 --> 06:06:21.420
Yeah, not the best challenge for Mupo if he's trying to not get scored on at some other point of the game because that

06:06:21.420 --> 06:06:24.620
Yeah, he was gonna get one out and then CRK is gonna collect it and bring it to goal

06:06:24.620 --> 06:06:27.300
But he just needs any big brass any bit of grass at all

06:06:27.300 --> 06:06:33.580
So he just dive bombs it from above and forces it back down pretty impressive in CRK to even stand a chance there

06:06:33.580 --> 06:06:37.540
But no, I worry for TRK in this series only because

06:06:38.300 --> 06:06:40.620
It felt like he needed that one which is crazy to say

06:06:40.620 --> 06:06:44.900
He's equally clearly been showing that he can play with Nupo back and forth

06:06:44.900 --> 06:06:49.220
I shouldn't be worried about him and yet I feel like any time he has a game close

06:06:49.220 --> 06:06:51.220
He needs to close it out this time he didn't

06:06:51.940 --> 06:06:54.300
Yeah, he misses an opportunity there

06:06:54.300 --> 06:06:59.040
There's no doubt about that he had late chances in the game to take a lead couldn't take him

06:06:59.040 --> 06:07:04.460
So it's not gonna get easier from here, but there are a couple silver linings for TRK

06:07:04.460 --> 06:07:07.380
He's definitely got an apple nervous. That's for sure

06:07:07.380 --> 06:07:12.660
We've seen some mistakes that are extremely uncharacteristic from the defending world champ in these games and

06:07:13.180 --> 06:07:18.100
DRK is still getting goals with his style of play. He's not having to play

06:07:18.380 --> 06:07:24.300
Unrealistically for him. He's sticking to his game plan. I want to see more ball chasing when he's low boosted defense

06:07:24.300 --> 06:07:29.480
So he's got to just accept that hey, this is a bad situation if I try to go for a crazy read

06:07:29.480 --> 06:07:31.540
I'm conceding off for too many low 50s

06:07:31.540 --> 06:07:35.620
I think he's just got to read the low 50 and you know if you get outplayed you get outplayed

06:07:37.380 --> 06:07:41.620
You have to take your risks. You have to push the edges of what's possible

06:07:41.620 --> 06:07:45.700
I guess this has both looked like I wasn't on the POE but

06:07:46.020 --> 06:07:49.180
Dear K to the front flip where you've really quite chance on you. Yeah, he was yeah

06:07:49.180 --> 06:07:56.260
They both love the front flip of it. I can't wait to try this myself as a front flip main and those people have been required

06:07:56.260 --> 06:08:02.500
So yeah, these guys are doing it some of those mechanical players world. I don't want to see anybody calling me a balker

06:08:02.500 --> 06:08:09.220
for the first time in his life, and now I'm accused, that's okay. It's going to be, again,

06:08:09.220 --> 06:08:13.460
great team flicking from that side of the field, TRK up high, is he going to pull the

06:08:13.460 --> 06:08:18.180
trigger? Yes he is! And there's the return of the investment for all of the fakes that

06:08:18.180 --> 06:08:22.420
he's been going for before. Yeah, if you wondered how come they're not challenging him, just

06:08:22.420 --> 06:08:26.980
challenge him, don't let him get to the ground. TRK is no slouch if he has to play the Vier

06:08:26.980 --> 06:08:31.620
as well. He's gotten the full repertoire, every aerial attack needs to have threats

06:08:31.620 --> 06:08:35.220
All the way from beginning to end, you need to be on that ball

06:08:35.220 --> 06:08:38.580
without leaving a moment's notice for anyone to challenge.

06:08:38.580 --> 06:08:41.380
CRK does just that. Now he can fall off the ceiling.

06:08:41.380 --> 06:08:43.140
Actually, it's easier for Noopa to bring it up.

06:08:43.140 --> 06:08:45.860
Usually, you try and counter someone from the ceiling by going down,

06:08:45.860 --> 06:08:47.380
but the extra pop gets over the top.

06:08:48.180 --> 06:08:50.180
He's a huge scoop of this one.

06:08:50.900 --> 06:08:53.780
So, CRK was trying to get right in line with the ball there,

06:08:54.340 --> 06:08:56.260
and he does get outplayed by the reset.

06:08:56.260 --> 06:08:58.340
Don't really mind that play from CRK.

06:08:58.340 --> 06:09:05.340
I think that's going to probably result in a goal for his opponent, regardless of what he does there.

06:09:06.340 --> 06:09:09.340
Interesting to note, on the diagonal kickoffs...

06:09:09.340 --> 06:09:12.340
Oh, TRK returns the favour for beautiful control.

06:09:12.340 --> 06:09:16.340
I'm really paying close attention to the diagonal kickoffs.

06:09:16.340 --> 06:09:22.340
If TRK just goes for the old, blasted, goal side, inside wall, I think he's scoring a kickoff goal.

06:09:22.340 --> 06:09:25.340
I don't know if he knows this, but right here, if he just goes goal side to the left,

06:09:25.340 --> 06:09:32.020
It's been wide open a few times and it's actually this time that he changes it so well fair plates and outputs

06:09:32.020 --> 06:09:34.700
Couple times he's got really side onto the ball this time he does it

06:09:36.980 --> 06:09:40.540
Control because of its still playing from behind

06:09:41.500 --> 06:09:46.060
Trying to peel this ball off the back wall and we're actually getting angle instead

06:09:46.060 --> 06:09:50.380
Which brings it right into TRK who has Tony who used to work with who's flip game is you know

06:09:50.380 --> 06:09:52.500
Who knows if it's gonna be good or not. We're not gonna have to find out

06:09:52.500 --> 06:09:56.980
out, he will challenge long before he gets an opportunity to go.

06:09:56.980 --> 06:10:00.420
The wall dashes and then keep away with TRK.

06:10:00.420 --> 06:10:04.500
Is this a safe, this is such a great save from TRK rejoining the play.

06:10:04.500 --> 06:10:08.900
Has he escaped though? He's just pushed his ball back out to Nupo who now has

06:10:08.900 --> 06:10:11.780
boost advantage and another chance to flip. The flicks have left the fifth of

06:10:11.780 --> 06:10:15.380
the inside but this one directly at the back of TRK will go in.

06:10:15.380 --> 06:10:19.380
It's TRK wanted to leave this on his goal line. He's tried to hit the cross far

06:10:19.380 --> 06:10:23.640
Precisely that's why he's waiting so long to save that if that does hit the bar

06:10:24.020 --> 06:10:29.820
Then CRK is recovered and really quickly you might just have an open net. That's what he's thinking at least

06:10:29.820 --> 06:10:33.800
But yeah, you've got to make the save first this time. He couldn't do that

06:10:34.900 --> 06:10:38.660
Ball goes right to the post back wall full pitch area triple commences

06:10:38.660 --> 06:10:42.980
He's used a lot of boost on this one but he's got great lineup and perfect slot to the bottom right

06:10:43.820 --> 06:10:49.220
Yeah, watching from TRK's view being jumped there for a second to try and maybe you know make people think

06:10:49.220 --> 06:10:52.100
But he did not and you see that wave dash switch up

06:10:52.100 --> 06:10:54.200
It's all about setting up on one side of the ball

06:10:54.320 --> 06:10:58.700
So that your error will shot if you do decide to use it will send them all one way

06:10:58.900 --> 06:11:02.460
You wait that sends it back the other just leaves the defend this watch

06:11:02.460 --> 06:11:08.120
It's at the midfield here. Okay. I love the perfectly mirrored from the kickoffs

06:11:08.780 --> 06:11:11.580
Let's control air dribble bump yet to slow it down

06:11:12.940 --> 06:11:19.200
You should keep doing this. You're a look software. He doesn't have the immediate reflex knowing what he wants to do

06:11:19.200 --> 06:11:25.200
here he just kind of froze underneath the ball and gets completely taken out of the game.

06:11:25.200 --> 06:11:29.600
I think TRK's got to swarm off to the side there give himself a bit more of an angle he's got to have

06:11:29.600 --> 06:11:34.160
that instantaneously as his reaction though all right one more.

06:11:36.160 --> 06:11:39.040
He has to be ahead of the game. Holy prepping expecting that.

06:11:39.600 --> 06:11:42.800
So been from TRK. Oh not quite but he's missed here.

06:11:44.400 --> 06:11:48.480
We'll be getting another backup. TRK already pre-jumping already prepping for a potential

06:11:48.480 --> 06:11:53.520
Lerio that does not end up arriving, but maybe convinced by the free jump not to go for it,

06:11:53.520 --> 06:11:58.080
goes to the ground instead, will play out of the air, and he's trying to put TRK in jail,

06:11:58.080 --> 06:12:02.640
but TRK a little bump, he's going to get out, he's going to position himself. Oh what moves,

06:12:02.640 --> 06:12:09.600
TRK, vacant in field, plays it over the challenge, and he's back within one, and there's just

06:12:09.600 --> 06:12:12.320
These mind games are the mind games here from these guys.

06:12:12.320 --> 06:12:16.240
CRK, completely the one his team made.

06:12:16.240 --> 06:12:18.840
Half time in game five.

06:12:18.840 --> 06:12:22.480
Game that will send someone to double tournament point,

06:12:22.480 --> 06:12:26.880
double qualification point to this year's World Championship.

06:12:26.880 --> 06:12:28.800
We're still trying to defend his title.

06:12:28.800 --> 06:12:33.760
CRK would love to be the representative for this year.

06:12:33.760 --> 06:12:36.680
Twisted Minds win either way.

06:12:36.680 --> 06:12:42.200
Only this can be a good sign from Nupo who has not found the power at all today.

06:12:42.920 --> 06:12:47.760
He's able to go top right to absolute screen one in TRK.

06:12:47.760 --> 06:12:52.240
I might have accelerated it, could maybe slow it down, but 100 kilometers per hour plus.

06:12:52.240 --> 06:12:56.120
This definitely can be good enough to get past TRK.

06:12:56.120 --> 06:12:57.200
He's got the 2-goal lead.

06:12:57.680 --> 06:12:58.800
He's okay with that opportunity though.

06:12:58.800 --> 06:12:59.840
Wall to air dribble.

06:13:00.400 --> 06:13:02.400
He's going for a ceiling reset this time around.

06:13:02.400 --> 06:13:06.160
And he's actually not playing his normal reset penalty ground.

06:13:06.160 --> 06:13:09.600
He actually rushes back to the ball, takes his shot.

06:13:09.600 --> 06:13:11.200
Now looking to go again.

06:13:11.200 --> 06:13:12.680
He's got a little bit of a piggie around this.

06:13:12.680 --> 06:13:15.800
He will just merely wall it in bottom right.

06:13:15.800 --> 06:13:18.280
Well, his precision has been on point for these players.

06:13:18.280 --> 06:13:21.960
Because once again, he just pulls out a unexpected angle.

06:13:21.960 --> 06:13:25.160
And he just gets a right bit for the finish as well.

06:13:25.160 --> 06:13:28.960
Staying in touch as he needs to do these spin close games.

06:13:28.960 --> 06:13:30.720
The last one and this one.

06:13:30.720 --> 06:13:34.280
Still, I think the majority of the kickoffs are going the way.

06:13:34.280 --> 06:13:35.760
You're 1v1 World Champion.

06:13:35.760 --> 06:13:37.720
CRK big ceiling challenge.

06:13:37.720 --> 06:13:39.120
Over in the back wall.

06:13:39.120 --> 06:13:40.760
It was low at the last minute.

06:13:40.760 --> 06:13:42.600
This time, it's work time.

06:13:42.600 --> 06:13:46.120
Yeah, everything that TRK is doing, it is not, no, for fun.

06:13:46.120 --> 06:13:47.600
I think he's showing on the back wall,

06:13:47.600 --> 06:13:51.160
so trying to adjust Nufo, make him go to his second option

06:13:51.160 --> 06:13:51.960
that he was going for.

06:13:51.960 --> 06:13:54.960
I thought we clicked that TRK is going to take advantage of.

06:13:54.960 --> 06:13:57.040
But in some hole, moving in defense,

06:13:57.040 --> 06:13:58.520
Superb lost that to also dodge.

06:13:58.520 --> 06:14:00.520
The Erklum's moves grab is going to go through,

06:14:00.520 --> 06:14:05.520
half a flip from TRK, isn't as clean as I would like to see from him, and Newport will score.

06:14:05.520 --> 06:14:13.520
It's just so powerful in defense, every single time he's able to get such a good touch there, directly over TRK's head.

06:14:13.520 --> 06:14:20.520
TRK did not make the right move, he was worried about conceiving even earlier, that's why he flipped the win at the time that he did,

06:14:20.520 --> 06:14:25.520
but obviously needed to get closer to the ball if he was going to save the fall off touch.

06:14:25.520 --> 06:14:28.760
Again, we're getting Barry Merritt kickoff in TRK's 1-1.

06:14:28.760 --> 06:14:31.260
He's getting stronger and stronger in this.

06:14:31.260 --> 06:14:32.260
The series goes on.

06:14:32.260 --> 06:14:34.760
I feel like earlier on, it was 9 points winning them.

06:14:34.760 --> 06:14:38.040
And now TRK just muscles him.

06:14:38.040 --> 06:14:40.160
Yeah, Nikola, we're getting a bit too high.

06:14:40.160 --> 06:14:41.160
It's single jump.

06:14:41.160 --> 06:14:42.660
Maybe over the top of the mast of the wall.

06:14:42.660 --> 06:14:44.720
So sometimes that 50 that happens there

06:14:44.720 --> 06:14:47.320
can push you up into the air, which prevents you from dashing

06:14:47.320 --> 06:14:48.120
quickly.

06:14:48.120 --> 06:14:48.960
TRK before out.

06:14:48.960 --> 06:14:52.040
Through TRK, a flick to kickoffs back to back.

06:14:52.040 --> 06:14:54.320
And we got ourselves a tie game.

06:14:54.320 --> 06:14:58.560
So many of these early challenges are getting spotted by TRK.

06:14:58.560 --> 06:15:01.600
The vision needs to be perfect there.

06:15:01.600 --> 06:15:05.680
I'm thinking he's lighting up for a late-mighting game though in the next one.

06:15:05.680 --> 06:15:09.040
So all these outplays, I've got to be making him think that

06:15:09.040 --> 06:15:10.320
FAKE is going to work later on.

06:15:10.320 --> 06:15:12.320
Oh, nice! That's going to make it as well!

06:15:12.320 --> 06:15:15.440
TRK by one! He pulls a shot out of nowhere!

06:15:16.480 --> 06:15:18.960
Yeah, he gets bumped off of this! He gets pushed away!

06:15:19.920 --> 06:15:22.400
And he says, you know what? I think I could find an angle.

06:15:22.400 --> 06:15:26.680
I didn't mean to be here. I was forced to be here. I think it was an aerial shot of Ilville

06:15:26.680 --> 06:15:30.320
I wonder if TRK was even wondering if that would go in. I think he wanted to force Nupo back

06:15:30.560 --> 06:15:37.000
Yeah, and he got everything all at once got the goal immediately now he's up. Rista over the top. It's 8-6

06:15:38.280 --> 06:15:45.640
I just can't believe how well he has timed the switch from full aerial mind games to full aerial outplay

06:15:45.640 --> 06:15:50.160
It is unreal that he has pulled this off so many mind games worked earlier and now

06:15:50.160 --> 06:15:58.980
He's out playing every challenge. TRK by two and he could be a double match point in 45 seconds, but

06:15:59.480 --> 06:16:03.920
Let's take his time towards his back corner. He goes as far as this from the net possible

06:16:04.200 --> 06:16:09.940
Here he gets started TRK stealing shadowing and matches it perfectly completely blocking him at every point of the play

06:16:11.040 --> 06:16:13.040
forcing him back

06:16:13.040 --> 06:16:18.280
100 is gonna be awkward here. TRK is a bit of a sideways thing. He's trying to flip back, but it's just getting in for a good position

06:16:18.280 --> 06:16:19.640
What is this? What is that?

06:16:19.640 --> 06:16:22.120
Nupo got lost. I think he meant to keep them all closer.

06:16:22.120 --> 06:16:22.620
Oh!

06:16:22.620 --> 06:16:24.240
He fell away from it and went for a bump instead.

06:16:24.240 --> 06:16:27.040
T-R-K able to reverse out of the demo.

06:16:27.040 --> 06:16:29.720
Now, he has to carry this one out of the top.

06:16:29.720 --> 06:16:31.240
Nupo feels like he has to challenge.

06:16:31.240 --> 06:16:34.560
He slows it down, but T-R-K scores again.

06:16:34.560 --> 06:16:35.360
T-R-K threw it in.

06:16:35.360 --> 06:16:36.640
It's a dribble the ball back.

06:16:36.640 --> 06:16:38.760
Fakes into the challenge.

06:16:38.760 --> 06:16:40.680
It scores at night.

06:16:40.680 --> 06:16:42.640
Anything but an immediate kickoff goal.

06:16:42.640 --> 06:16:43.640
And this is game over.

06:16:43.640 --> 06:16:46.480
So T-R-K should just be trying to stay with this.

06:16:46.480 --> 06:16:47.440
You know what that means.

06:16:47.440 --> 06:16:49.440
Runflip! Runflip!

06:16:49.440 --> 06:16:51.440
That's the view meta!

06:16:51.440 --> 06:16:53.440
Can't wait to try this with my snout.

06:16:53.440 --> 06:16:55.440
I'm sure all of you guys are the same.

06:16:55.440 --> 06:16:57.440
But will he get a 10?

06:16:57.440 --> 06:16:59.440
To add insult to entry, you bet he will.

06:16:59.440 --> 06:17:01.440
TRK

06:17:01.440 --> 06:17:03.440
is on double tournament point.

06:17:03.440 --> 06:17:05.440
TRK

06:17:05.440 --> 06:17:07.440
You know he's proven me wrong.

06:17:07.440 --> 06:17:09.440
I was saying he needed to win that previous game.

06:17:09.440 --> 06:17:11.440
He let me put my kids to this one.

06:17:11.440 --> 06:17:13.440
And yet this is a solid win for TRK.

06:17:13.440 --> 06:17:15.440
Really good job

06:17:15.440 --> 06:17:20.400
of confirming his win late. It's not an easy thing to do against Mupo. He played all the

06:17:20.400 --> 06:17:25.280
right ways. Clean that last little big hymn. You have somebody on the ropes. They have no

06:17:25.280 --> 06:17:29.440
choice but to try and dive and challenge. He was used his time out, so he can't even use that now.

06:17:29.440 --> 06:17:37.920
It is TRK, who is controlling the series. TRK outplayed so many challenges in this game. There

06:17:37.920 --> 06:17:42.320
were, you know, plays where he's coming off the ball to get under the ball and outplay.

06:17:42.320 --> 06:17:46.400
There's a reset in the back corner. These are all very technical resets

06:17:46.400 --> 06:17:52.720
And even though he lost his his lead and had to earn it back again

06:17:53.200 --> 06:18:00.000
He did just that man. Absolutely fine. You go. What is that now six straight goals at the end of the game?

06:18:00.760 --> 06:18:02.720
This is this is unreal from TRK

06:18:03.080 --> 06:18:06.320
Yeah, I'm on a crazy run that they can hope to continue

06:18:06.320 --> 06:18:07.920
He's gonna be a little bit of break here between games

06:18:07.920 --> 06:18:13.800
But he's hoping that's gonna roll right into the next one. It all comes down to that expert aerial game

06:18:13.800 --> 06:18:17.400
We didn't realize we're gonna be talking about TRK necessarily coming into this one

06:18:17.440 --> 06:18:21.200
But he stays on ball at every moment. He's getting resets early

06:18:21.200 --> 06:18:27.240
Which means if Newport tries to challenge early that flip is available. He's not sticking to just one game plan

06:18:27.240 --> 06:18:29.760
We've seen him wave dash go low. We've seen who's the reset go high

06:18:29.920 --> 06:18:32.800
He's been able to get in control. It's not getting dominated in the kickoff

06:18:32.800 --> 06:18:36.480
Noobo maybe should stop doing the front flip kickoff. Maybe he needs to do something different.

06:18:36.480 --> 06:18:43.640
Because it's been good enough for TRK to be able to at least go 50 and he's played well in the open field.

06:18:43.640 --> 06:18:46.240
In the places that we thought he was going to be the big underdog.

06:18:46.240 --> 06:18:51.080
He has come to play and he's got two chances now to try and become a champion.

06:18:52.080 --> 06:18:56.880
This would be the third region out of three with a different representative.

06:18:56.880 --> 06:19:01.900
In only the second year of 1v1's inclusion in RLCS, we are seeing new

06:19:02.560 --> 06:19:09.080
representatives in every single region, KV1 for South America. You have NAS for EU, Canopy TRK,

06:19:09.280 --> 06:19:16.480
Corbina, he's got the rope chap with the ropes, but this one I think, out with a lot of them, is the one that I was most surprised by.

06:19:16.680 --> 06:19:18.040
It's not up but yet.

06:19:18.040 --> 06:19:20.040
That is a monster flick from distance.

06:19:20.800 --> 06:19:25.740
Yes, it's a great sign. We talked about earlier the flicks were getting better. Even in the last game, we saw a couple of nice flicks.

06:19:25.740 --> 06:19:35.140
TRK diving in, quickly passed him, and we get an early lead as he will try to continue that.

06:19:35.140 --> 06:19:37.740
Backed off here on the kickoff, TRK.

06:19:37.740 --> 06:19:43.740
Now bringing his ball to net, he's going nice and slow down the field, waiting, just watching when Nupro's up too.

06:19:43.740 --> 06:19:48.740
But while there's too much lateral movement, he let it move almost all the way outside of net, and that's when Nupro challenged.

06:19:48.740 --> 06:19:54.740
Yeah, he got tripped as well, and the follow through TRK did not get anything like where he wanted there.

06:19:54.740 --> 06:20:02.860
there wasn't really threatening much from that angle. So early 2-0 lead and this is not a lead that CRK's

06:20:02.860 --> 06:20:09.180
failed to overcome. There's that drive kickoff again. This one will work extremely well for CRK but

06:20:09.180 --> 06:20:13.340
his first touch is wayward. He's used a lot of those second touch much better as he

06:20:13.340 --> 06:20:18.340
right pulls it all back on target. Now resetting the back wall.

06:20:18.340 --> 06:20:24.100
to make sure he actually starts his dribble, wants to force him all the way across the

06:20:24.100 --> 06:20:27.340
field and the air, he's done that, put the shot a little bit weak at the end, you're

06:20:27.340 --> 06:20:31.780
able to save it and recover quickly because TRK shooting it down is going to enable the

06:20:31.780 --> 06:20:32.780
counter attack.

06:20:32.780 --> 06:20:38.060
Yes, you're a bit too slow there by TRK, he used all of his boost on that one, so he

06:20:38.060 --> 06:20:43.020
had to score or he's getting scored on and yeah, ultimately he didn't really get too

06:20:43.020 --> 06:20:44.020
close to scoring.

06:20:44.020 --> 06:20:50.020
It's a good try. We're working many cases but not at this level of competition.

06:20:50.020 --> 06:20:56.020
You might have seen it again here. He's just left the ball, or boost, and means to look a bit silly in doing so.

06:20:56.020 --> 06:21:02.020
It's 4-0, DRK. It's a black days ago first minute here.

06:21:02.020 --> 06:21:10.020
We saw an 11-2 for a new ball. He might walk out of this series even if he loses here.

06:21:10.020 --> 06:21:14.900
Well, I guess maybe not if you lose this year, but with many more goals scored because of that early game

06:21:14.900 --> 06:21:16.900
We crushed his on track for another

06:21:17.100 --> 06:21:20.460
You know run up here the scoreline only minute 30 in he's got four

06:21:21.220 --> 06:21:22.380
TRK

06:21:22.380 --> 06:21:24.380
And he make this game close, you know

06:21:24.380 --> 06:21:27.340
There's been only two types of games you see close down to the wire and then

06:21:27.780 --> 06:21:29.820
You go in the favor. He's gonna try and pinch this away

06:21:29.820 --> 06:21:33.460
It's okay. I should stop it at the midfield never really let that even stand a chance

06:21:33.460 --> 06:21:39.300
to a ceiling reset try to switch it up early and shoot because he saw a new

06:21:39.300 --> 06:21:42.740
book coming with people still makes contact and gets it all what's a

06:21:42.740 --> 06:21:50.220
challenge five nil this is a statement game by the defending world champion he

06:21:50.220 --> 06:21:56.620
is not done that defended his title yet I mean he's already in the gold

06:21:56.620 --> 06:22:01.020
conversation for one be one you can go back to back there would be absolutely

06:22:01.020 --> 06:22:06.900
no question that he is the greatest in the game books history he's off to a

06:22:06.900 --> 06:22:12.860
fantastic start in game six to play from behind when he did last time against

06:22:12.860 --> 06:22:18.300
for Was so he's not familiar with getting down in series

06:22:18.300 --> 06:22:23.460
so in the zone to not only what's this seven is both these guys gonna flip past

06:22:23.460 --> 06:22:27.100
the ball and Tierca is expecting you to make contact and he didn't not Tierca has

06:22:27.100 --> 06:22:28.100
That's a great spot.

06:22:28.100 --> 06:22:29.100
Game dunks.

06:22:29.100 --> 06:22:34.100
You know, you're trying to get some momentum as well into the next game.

06:22:34.100 --> 06:22:37.100
I said this game was over by 80 means, but you've got TRK completely scoreless.

06:22:37.100 --> 06:22:39.100
He's going to have this one read.

06:22:39.100 --> 06:22:43.100
Should be able to get 100, and he's going to try and add even more to the tally.

06:22:43.100 --> 06:22:45.100
Yeah, we're into the second half of the game now.

06:22:45.100 --> 06:22:50.100
TRK knows from this point onwards, he can't just be playing a loose game.

06:22:50.100 --> 06:22:52.100
He has to defend his net.

06:22:52.100 --> 06:22:54.100
You know, you can see it anymore.

06:22:54.100 --> 06:22:55.100
It becomes almost unwinnable.

06:22:55.100 --> 06:22:57.100
He might be proceeding more.

06:22:57.100 --> 06:22:59.100
He's under a ton of pressure.

06:22:59.100 --> 06:23:03.100
Hot Reid for 6-0.

06:23:03.100 --> 06:23:05.100
This is unbelievable.

06:23:05.100 --> 06:23:06.100
This is the pass off the corner.

06:23:06.100 --> 06:23:08.100
How does he have that bounce perfectly red?

06:23:08.100 --> 06:23:09.100
Wow.

06:23:09.100 --> 06:23:11.100
That is such a tough Reid to make.

06:23:11.100 --> 06:23:15.100
And he was instantly headed out to where he knew the ball was going to go.

06:23:15.100 --> 06:23:19.100
And save Reid from the beautiful who's up 6-0.

06:23:19.100 --> 06:23:21.100
Hasn't allowed even a single goal.

06:23:21.100 --> 06:23:24.100
His back is officially against the wall.

06:23:24.100 --> 06:23:29.780
and he seems to recognize that as he has now turned it up to 11.

06:23:29.780 --> 06:23:31.780
The shot gets saved easily.

06:23:31.780 --> 06:23:36.340
TRK would need a goal here and then we need some kickoffs to go his way,

06:23:36.340 --> 06:23:37.780
but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen.

06:23:37.780 --> 06:23:40.260
In fact, he tries to cut this off early, doesn't make context.

06:23:40.260 --> 06:23:41.380
It's going to be another one for Nufo.

06:23:42.180 --> 06:23:46.820
Oh, you know, looking back at Game 2s, we had a similar situation.

06:23:46.820 --> 06:23:52.100
Very often you'll see a forfeit here, but TRK played on right down to the end of Game 2,

06:23:52.100 --> 06:23:56.900
despite trailing by, I think it was 19 goals at the end.

06:23:56.900 --> 06:23:59.660
So I expect to see him do the same thing here.

06:23:59.660 --> 06:24:03.220
And it did too when he started losing badly.

06:24:03.220 --> 06:24:06.020
He didn't reveal any of his changeups.

06:24:06.020 --> 06:24:09.940
He's just using this time to try to maybe drill

06:24:09.940 --> 06:24:12.740
bad habits into his opponent and, you know,

06:24:12.740 --> 06:24:15.220
play more and more losing strategies.

06:24:15.220 --> 06:24:17.100
But, you know, in Rockville, especially in one,

06:24:17.100 --> 06:24:18.420
if you call it conditioning your opponent

06:24:18.420 --> 06:24:20.340
to expect a certain thing, then later on,

06:24:20.340 --> 06:24:25.660
he's gonna make the changes to try to surprise that point the last game but

06:24:25.660 --> 06:24:30.740
yeah he's not playing this one I'll take it he can win it but this is just for

06:24:30.740 --> 06:24:35.580
now at least learning as much as you can that you can use in game number seven

06:24:35.580 --> 06:24:41.900
yeah that's an impressive mental to take but it's okay

06:24:41.900 --> 06:24:45.020
this is kind of an interesting counter to what you were just saying and I was

06:24:45.020 --> 06:24:49.020
talking about this with James bot slightly you know is there incentive now

06:24:49.020 --> 06:24:53.140
now for Nupo to not reveal anything, to start going for pickups that he'll never go for

06:24:53.140 --> 06:24:56.660
in the future, which that one we will not see that in game 7 if it's ever close.

06:24:56.660 --> 06:25:01.580
But he might as well go for a clip here there, take some bigger risks that he never would

06:25:01.580 --> 06:25:02.580
otherwise take.

06:25:02.580 --> 06:25:05.580
So the tier K doesn't get a read back the other way.

06:25:05.580 --> 06:25:11.260
Even if tier K scores here, which is going to fail out of it, really still not a chance.

06:25:11.260 --> 06:25:15.420
So we're int'ed midfield play, Aragible Bump, maybe Nupo should Aragible Bump the rest of

06:25:15.420 --> 06:25:18.020
the way out to try and get tier K as much as possible.

06:25:18.020 --> 06:25:22.320
Now, it would be a smart move actually, just try to be as annoying as possible.

06:25:22.320 --> 06:25:27.360
It only go for air dribble bumps, demos, low 50s, just the most frustrating things to

06:25:27.360 --> 06:25:28.360
concede against.

06:25:28.360 --> 06:25:34.360
But, last time this happened, it was TRK who came in just fine in the very nice game,

06:25:34.360 --> 06:25:38.440
so I think mentally he's going to be okay here.

06:25:38.440 --> 06:25:41.160
Will he go for more mindgames?

06:25:41.160 --> 06:25:43.160
He went for a mindgave in a cereal before this.

06:25:43.160 --> 06:25:44.160
Is it going to be another one?

06:25:44.160 --> 06:25:45.160
Yeah, it is.

06:25:45.160 --> 06:25:48.000
Okay, TRK, maybe I'm just overthinking this.

06:25:48.000 --> 06:25:55.000
But he's playing for two reset fakes in this rubbish tank as the game's already over.

06:25:56.000 --> 06:25:58.000
If he goes for another run, it's going to be too obvious.

06:25:58.000 --> 06:26:01.000
He's like, well, look at me on that reset faking again.

06:26:01.000 --> 06:26:03.000
You better back off, but now you can see how I play.

06:26:03.000 --> 06:26:12.000
So maybe there's less to this than we think, and he just is playing it out because why not?

06:26:12.000 --> 06:26:15.000
Take a virtual time out per se.

06:26:15.000 --> 06:26:21.000
Yeah, I mean, 1v1, unlike a native mode, it's the closest to just getting a little

06:26:21.000 --> 06:26:22.000
replay break as well.

06:26:22.000 --> 06:26:26.000
Maybe you just want to shake it off, drive around, not to worry about where the ball

06:26:26.000 --> 06:26:27.000
goes in your net anymore.

06:26:27.000 --> 06:26:29.000
Just kind of get some more touches on the ball.

06:26:29.000 --> 06:26:31.000
You'll have what your plan is for game 7.

06:26:31.000 --> 06:26:33.000
Maybe see if you're full field.

06:26:33.000 --> 06:26:34.000
AirDrum will reset.

06:26:34.000 --> 06:26:35.000
Musty Duns are there.

06:26:35.000 --> 06:26:36.000
It looks like they are.

06:26:36.000 --> 06:26:39.000
Looks like that is a tool you can potentially use in game 7.

06:26:39.000 --> 06:26:44.000
Well, after seeing the early attempts for the full play share double front CRK, I like

06:26:44.000 --> 06:26:48.000
I like these getting a couple more reps and see where the hands are at.

06:26:48.000 --> 06:26:55.000
But, most curious right now for me is, will the aerial game really be present in Game 7?

06:26:55.000 --> 06:27:02.000
I expect it to be, but I also thought it would be a part of the Game 7 and EU between Zen and Masters.

06:27:02.000 --> 06:27:10.000
And it wasn't really a part of the game. They were both so nervous that they defaulted, mostly at least, to the ground game.

06:27:10.000 --> 06:27:13.600
And we might see something similar here with both players,

06:27:13.600 --> 06:27:15.280
like, very, very safe.

06:27:15.280 --> 06:27:18.880
And you know what's interesting is I would have argued that TRK

06:27:18.880 --> 06:27:22.000
just took an in-game timeout by waiting around for, you know,

06:27:22.000 --> 06:27:23.560
two or five minutes after losing.

06:27:23.560 --> 06:27:25.680
He's also going to take an out-of-game timeout.

06:27:25.680 --> 06:27:28.200
So TRK wants another break.

06:27:28.200 --> 06:27:31.680
He's getting trying to get at big of a possible break here

06:27:31.680 --> 06:27:33.280
before the game seven.

06:27:33.280 --> 06:27:34.880
We saw, you know, if it weren't for the fact

06:27:34.880 --> 06:27:36.480
that we'd already seen it before,

06:27:36.480 --> 06:27:38.280
I would be going heavily in the first favor,

06:27:38.280 --> 06:27:39.920
coming off an 11-2 win.

06:27:39.920 --> 06:27:41.960
he was already able to completely erase that.

06:27:41.960 --> 06:27:45.360
So there's some magic in just seeing 0-0 in five minutes

06:27:45.360 --> 06:27:48.520
back on the clock, just changes things for these players.

06:27:48.520 --> 06:27:50.800
It's definitely a needed change for TRK

06:27:50.800 --> 06:27:54.160
if he wants there to be a new MENA 1v1 champion.

06:27:54.160 --> 06:27:56.440
Well, you know something that keeps on delivering

06:27:56.440 --> 06:27:57.800
is the 1v1 script.

06:27:57.800 --> 06:27:59.400
So we've got another game seven, everybody.

06:27:59.400 --> 06:28:00.560
That's the second year in a row.

06:28:00.560 --> 06:28:04.560
We've got a game seven in the MENA final last season.

06:28:04.560 --> 06:28:07.280
It was relaxing as now, but in EU, same thing.

06:28:07.280 --> 06:28:08.960
We had Moxie against Raleigh,

06:28:08.960 --> 06:28:11.800
And you had Zen against NAS, both going to Game 7.

06:28:11.800 --> 06:28:13.200
This is what 1v1 is all about.

06:28:13.200 --> 06:28:15.600
You've got so many things you can change

06:28:15.600 --> 06:28:18.240
that you are just more likely to get comebacks

06:28:18.240 --> 06:28:21.640
in the individual games and in the series as a whole.

06:28:21.640 --> 06:28:25.160
Compared to 3v3, which often delivers 4-1s

06:28:25.160 --> 06:28:27.560
and 4-0s in Grand Finals, sometimes we get a 4-2,

06:28:27.560 --> 06:28:29.040
and we're thinking, wow, what a final.

06:28:29.040 --> 06:28:30.000
4-2?

06:28:30.000 --> 06:28:31.680
I mean, we're getting spoiled today.

06:28:31.680 --> 06:28:36.840
But in 1s, the Game 7, it really does happen a lot.

06:28:36.840 --> 06:28:40.840
Yeah, and now is time to cash in on everything you've been working on.

06:28:40.840 --> 06:28:43.440
We're talking about conditioning opponents over the course of a long series.

06:28:44.040 --> 06:28:47.740
The most obvious case of that is probably the kickoffs and what you go for.

06:28:47.740 --> 06:28:50.040
You could throw in brand new kickoffs if you're feeling confident,

06:28:50.040 --> 06:28:53.240
or if you need a last second resurgence, throw something you haven't thrown

06:28:53.240 --> 06:28:56.940
all series long, maybe that ends up being the reason why you bring it back.

06:28:56.940 --> 06:29:00.840
But also the aerial game, a seven game series, we've kind of seen a little bit

06:29:00.840 --> 06:29:04.540
of everything, but it all comes down to this one moment.

06:29:04.640 --> 06:29:05.440
Are you going to clutch up?

06:29:05.440 --> 06:29:07.120
are your mechanics going to transfer?

06:29:07.120 --> 06:29:10.720
We saw maybe not the best games from people on LAN

06:29:10.720 --> 06:29:12.800
when they were a little bit more nervous.

06:29:12.800 --> 06:29:15.160
Game 7s are a similar situation.

06:29:15.160 --> 06:29:18.720
The player who did not fade though and was not too worried

06:29:18.720 --> 06:29:19.360
was Nupo.

06:29:19.360 --> 06:29:21.800
He played flying both on LAN and in these grand finals.

06:29:21.800 --> 06:29:23.840
He's shown that he still has mechanics, even

06:29:23.840 --> 06:29:24.960
in the biggest moments.

06:29:24.960 --> 06:29:27.400
TRK, tons of success on LAN as well.

06:29:27.400 --> 06:29:29.720
We expect him to be ice-cooled.

06:29:29.720 --> 06:29:31.040
It should be cinematic.

06:29:31.040 --> 06:29:32.160
You see the banner there.

06:29:32.160 --> 06:29:35.320
It's Nupo's got a banner here on this Champions field.

06:29:35.320 --> 06:29:38.960
TRK wants to add his, let's get started with Gamer7.

06:29:40.460 --> 06:29:45.460
The game will decide who represents Middle East, North Africa

06:29:45.820 --> 06:29:47.620
and the World Championship for 1v1.

06:29:47.620 --> 06:29:51.460
Both these guys are already going over there for 3v3.

06:29:51.460 --> 06:29:53.380
They'll be playing together.

06:29:53.380 --> 06:29:55.300
And it's gonna be the defending World Championship.

06:29:55.300 --> 06:29:57.760
It opens this, scored in in game seven.

06:29:58.740 --> 06:30:02.340
He had enough boost here to set himself up for a shot.

06:30:02.340 --> 06:30:04.740
And he saw the early challenge coming a mile away.

06:30:05.320 --> 06:30:09.720
Really good catch too. He has to swing almost from behind the play to get a good first touch.

06:30:09.720 --> 06:30:16.220
He gets a sweet spot to pop it out to himself in the midfield to even enable that power shot in the first place.

06:30:16.220 --> 06:30:21.420
So you're taking it forced back on this kickoff, unable to grab his own back corner boost.

06:30:21.420 --> 06:30:24.520
29 boost to work with allowed to get a dribble.

06:30:24.520 --> 06:30:30.220
He tries to flick it out into the corner of pinch that is really just buying time.

06:30:30.220 --> 06:30:32.420
He's not hoping to score that from that position.

06:30:32.420 --> 06:30:34.940
Just allowing us to get a hundred jumps early.

06:30:34.940 --> 06:30:36.540
He forced the people back down to the ground.

06:30:36.540 --> 06:30:37.700
A little bit of a background game.

06:30:37.700 --> 06:30:39.860
His clicks early were bad, but this one was strong.

06:30:39.860 --> 06:30:41.860
TRK still gets the same.

06:30:41.860 --> 06:30:45.140
This great defense from TRK, but he is still on the ropes here

06:30:45.140 --> 06:30:45.700
for now.

06:30:45.700 --> 06:30:48.460
His boost management has been excellent.

06:30:48.460 --> 06:30:50.620
And that might be enough to equalize the position,

06:30:50.620 --> 06:30:53.020
but no, the shot quality is too good.

06:30:53.020 --> 06:30:56.220
And now, he's coming in high with a mind game.

06:30:56.220 --> 06:31:00.260
TRK did not reach that one.

06:31:00.260 --> 06:31:02.660
TRK has been doing the same thing the other way.

06:31:03.660 --> 06:31:04.660
Saw the reset.

06:31:04.660 --> 06:31:06.860
The Honda Goiby went high, tried to jump forward early.

06:31:06.860 --> 06:31:10.260
Players are, for the most part, trying to position their cars

06:31:10.260 --> 06:31:12.760
where they can still make that low save if need be.

06:31:12.760 --> 06:31:15.360
But this time, the goal is goodbye.

06:31:15.360 --> 06:31:16.660
A really nice little kick up here.

06:31:16.660 --> 06:31:17.460
He's going to carry.

06:31:17.460 --> 06:31:17.960
No way.

06:31:17.960 --> 06:31:18.760
Bro, this is like a target.

06:31:18.760 --> 06:31:19.460
It'll be a goal.

06:31:20.260 --> 06:31:22.060
Oh, what a play by TRK.

06:31:22.060 --> 06:31:23.460
The spot that this is available.

06:31:23.460 --> 06:31:28.060
He wave dashes away, gets wider than his opponent,

06:31:28.060 --> 06:31:29.660
and then gets under it.

06:31:29.660 --> 06:31:32.180
A lot of players are just taking the boost there.

06:31:32.180 --> 06:31:35.660
TRK had bigger ideas and he's on the board again, seven.

06:31:35.660 --> 06:31:36.980
Rumble kickoff.

06:31:36.980 --> 06:31:39.260
These guys continue to mirror each other.

06:31:39.260 --> 06:31:41.900
TRK back into the corner.

06:31:41.900 --> 06:31:44.180
Clear, yes, he is going to be given a free possession here,

06:31:44.180 --> 06:31:45.940
so it will be a win for him.

06:31:45.940 --> 06:31:46.940
Coach challenging up the stage.

06:31:46.940 --> 06:31:49.260
These guys convince each other to go back to the ground.

06:31:49.260 --> 06:31:51.980
They'll be allowing to take their first year of dribble.

06:31:51.980 --> 06:31:54.220
Because the defense is just far too proactive.

06:31:54.220 --> 06:31:56.380
You go tap that way, you know, we get back to it.

06:31:56.380 --> 06:31:57.180
But the boost he had.

06:31:57.180 --> 06:31:57.900
So he leaves.

06:31:57.900 --> 06:32:03.900
T-R-K reads the early challenge, but Nupo actually got home-packed down and is able to recover to try and control the ball.

06:32:03.900 --> 06:32:09.900
That faker in the air post by T-R-K, huge flink to the top shelf, ties the game.

06:32:09.900 --> 06:32:12.900
That is confidence from close range.

06:32:12.900 --> 06:32:18.900
He was pretty all in here via Zipar. No doubt though, sloths it.

06:32:18.900 --> 06:32:22.900
Backed away, Nupo with that little fake towards the ball.

06:32:22.900 --> 06:32:25.900
Make sure he stayed going across the net to enable that flink.

06:32:25.900 --> 06:32:30.500
Now it's going to be Session 30, but it's got TRK backing off.

06:32:30.500 --> 06:32:31.500
It's going to be Kerry.

06:32:31.500 --> 06:32:32.500
He sees TRK coming in.

06:32:32.500 --> 06:32:33.500
Low 50.

06:32:33.500 --> 06:32:34.500
TRK's gotten good in the 50s, though.

06:32:34.500 --> 06:32:35.500
Depriet and media shots.

06:32:35.500 --> 06:32:36.500
He's able to recover.

06:32:36.500 --> 06:32:41.500
He is stuck in jail like I talked about before, and he's not going to be there very long because

06:32:41.500 --> 06:32:43.500
of this one quickly.

06:32:43.500 --> 06:32:44.500
Just so controlled.

06:32:44.500 --> 06:32:50.860
Keaton and I on TRK, the whole time, if TRK dives in, he is, you know, really risking

06:32:50.860 --> 06:32:51.860
getting outplayed.

06:32:51.860 --> 06:32:54.340
So he has to back off.

06:32:54.340 --> 06:33:01.300
more. It's the low 50 against TRK. When the boost rolls low, it's like it's going to be a kickoff

06:33:01.300 --> 06:33:06.100
possession. And that goes well. What's he going to do with this one? He can really decide his

06:33:06.100 --> 06:33:11.620
play here. Ops for the ground game. Is it going to be the pop-up? He's had success with it earlier.

06:33:11.620 --> 06:33:15.300
Instead this time, he's just going to air dribble the ball into a 50. Oh, look at the timing on the

06:33:15.300 --> 06:33:23.540
boost seal. TRK is gone. And he gets back in time, but not enough. On the finish. 4-2, but that was

06:33:23.540 --> 06:33:25.860
A whisker away from being saved.

06:33:25.860 --> 06:33:27.460
Yeah, CRK.

06:33:27.460 --> 06:33:30.460
It felt like he was going all in in a whole little corner.

06:33:30.460 --> 06:33:32.260
I think he was going maybe for a plump.

06:33:32.260 --> 06:33:34.340
Or just trying to steal the ball as we didn't get it.

06:33:34.340 --> 06:33:35.140
I was breathing.

06:33:35.140 --> 06:33:39.140
He found his way back to make it as close as he did.

06:33:39.140 --> 06:33:41.940
This game is close as well, but it's another kickoff.

06:33:41.940 --> 06:33:45.180
Maybe everybody's feeling like it's high state by CRK,

06:33:45.180 --> 06:33:47.940
trying to let him clean in out of the net first to the ball.

06:33:47.940 --> 06:33:49.540
But unable to force it out.

06:33:49.540 --> 06:33:52.940
Oh, got to respawn right in time and then read challenges.

06:33:52.940 --> 06:33:54.780
Get a decent position, use all of that now though.

06:33:54.780 --> 06:33:57.460
Swing one, hoping to get an undercut or a demo on Nupo.

06:33:57.460 --> 06:33:59.100
Didn't get it, cannot get back.

06:33:59.100 --> 06:34:00.700
And the slow roll is going to be back.

06:34:00.700 --> 06:34:03.460
Wow, 3-2.

06:34:03.460 --> 06:34:05.140
That placement is disgusting.

06:34:05.140 --> 06:34:07.180
TRK was covering so much of the goal,

06:34:07.180 --> 06:34:11.100
but he's just not quite going to touch on this.

06:34:11.100 --> 06:34:14.060
The post only comes into play slightly.

06:34:14.060 --> 06:34:15.060
The regal deficit.

06:34:15.060 --> 06:34:18.900
TRK struggling into the final game.

06:34:18.900 --> 06:34:21.460
He's already lost the first match point.

06:34:21.460 --> 06:34:24.400
Take this one or is it going to be another heartbreaking grand final loss?

06:34:27.500 --> 06:34:31.420
TRK has boosted. He's picking up pads in front of that right now while Nufl is controlling the ball.

06:34:32.140 --> 06:34:34.640
He is expecting to be able to turn this in.

06:34:34.640 --> 06:34:37.780
Nufl goes to the side wall hundred instead of going to the back corner.

06:34:37.780 --> 06:34:42.720
After the game arriving late, TRK tries to hit that top corner, but Nufl covers that the whole time.

06:34:43.100 --> 06:34:45.820
Now both players very low, but Nufl with ball of control.

06:34:45.820 --> 06:34:49.720
Opportunity to flick TRK, save up high. Neither one of them has anything to work with, but TRK

06:34:49.720 --> 06:34:53.160
to get up earlier. He's going to clear this alley. Might be able to chase it down some

06:34:53.160 --> 06:34:56.720
wall dashes to get out ahead. He got some boosts in the middle, and he gets his third.

06:34:56.720 --> 06:35:03.720
And TRK flipped it onto the wall here, and then getting back down with the wall dashes.

06:35:03.720 --> 06:35:10.220
Great use of the walls to accelerate, win the race to the ball. Before that we could

06:35:10.220 --> 06:35:14.720
get a save onto TRK's aerial mind game. So I think he's got to go for the play next time.

06:35:14.720 --> 06:35:20.320
He's got to try and hit a flip reset and an outplay or he is not going to take this grand final

06:35:21.040 --> 06:35:25.920
Talk about the game seven adjustments just a full delay from new bow that we've seen a ton of all series

06:35:25.920 --> 06:35:27.520
We're gonna bring it out now

06:35:27.520 --> 06:35:32.480
It's got him up position with TRK going back off the wall down to ground 50

06:35:32.480 --> 06:35:34.480
Is it quite in with the fall?

06:35:34.480 --> 06:35:36.400
No, but playing for recovery it gets his goal

06:35:36.960 --> 06:35:40.480
And you know, he's gone through the low 50s in this game

06:35:40.480 --> 06:35:50.480
TRK clearly not able to predict it. That's multiple times now. He's been outplayed by a 50-50 either on the ground or from the aerial game.

06:35:50.480 --> 06:35:57.480
Going the other way, TRK's aerial game looking like it's getting red. If we look at game 6 as well, it was more of the same.

06:35:57.480 --> 06:36:05.480
Cannae outplay this time around. Low reset. Catch and a pop. But once again, the save is too good. TRK is trying to stay with this one.

06:36:05.480 --> 06:36:10.300
This one he does with a demo he's working so hard for his every single play

06:36:10.300 --> 06:36:12.300
Oh, he got free me

06:36:12.980 --> 06:36:16.100
He was able to fake people out on the respawn

06:36:16.680 --> 06:36:20.300
Got the demo who put choosing the perfect spot to respawn and try to dive on the wall

06:36:20.300 --> 06:36:26.380
And he just matrixed around it. Wow. We should have gotten a touch there, but made no contact in TRK

06:36:26.380 --> 06:36:29.300
It's just been able to keep this within two within striking distance

06:36:29.820 --> 06:36:33.620
More than enough time to make that up. He's not letting people run away with it

06:36:33.620 --> 06:36:35.620
He's got the back up now

06:36:36.180 --> 06:36:38.020
Possession and a ball carry for new

06:36:39.020 --> 06:36:41.060
Power on his flicks like total club

06:36:41.060 --> 06:36:44.580
I would have still the corner moves either it's your case. I want to pick that up

06:36:44.580 --> 06:36:46.620
And it's still possession for info who has enough

06:36:49.220 --> 06:36:51.660
Well, it's just too clutch even after

06:36:52.220 --> 06:36:57.100
Getting a misplay on the previous plate. He fakes them all touch cuts in field again

06:36:57.100 --> 06:37:00.060
And then makes the flick work

06:37:00.060 --> 06:37:04.060
3-0 advantage for the Defending Brochampion.

06:37:04.060 --> 06:37:07.060
TRK needs to get control of the ball.

06:37:07.060 --> 06:37:10.060
He's not had much alpha in Game 7.

06:37:10.060 --> 06:37:12.060
He's been able to move and he's just right here.

06:37:12.060 --> 06:37:14.060
Save. This possession has to go in.

06:37:14.060 --> 06:37:18.060
TRK has to save some time for the rest of the goals he needs.

06:37:18.060 --> 06:37:20.060
He gets a reset without even moving towards net.

06:37:20.060 --> 06:37:22.060
Now he will carry it in and catch and a flick.

06:37:22.060 --> 06:37:25.060
TRK needed this and he clutched it.

06:37:25.060 --> 06:37:29.060
He had a serious burst of speed tier

06:37:29.060 --> 06:37:33.060
to wave dash under the ball with the flippery set that he hides

06:37:33.060 --> 06:37:37.060
and then launches to flick on target, 40 seconds left, this game on.

06:37:37.060 --> 06:37:40.060
It's a huge kickoff right now on the back, not very volatile.

06:37:40.060 --> 06:37:43.060
Nupo delays it, and it straightens it.

06:37:43.060 --> 06:37:46.060
Massive moment in the game, and it goes Nupo's way.

06:37:46.060 --> 06:37:49.060
And like I said, it's been that adaptation in Game 7.

06:37:49.060 --> 06:37:53.060
He's completely caught to the arcade by surprise with that one.

06:37:53.060 --> 06:37:58.060
That is just one more big possession away from back to back growth championships.

06:37:58.060 --> 06:38:00.060
He's going to waste a little bit of time.

06:38:00.060 --> 06:38:03.060
TRK can't afford to have too much possession for Nupro.

06:38:03.060 --> 06:38:07.060
He knows he has to dive, and Nupro does too, so he gets it over the top of him.

06:38:07.060 --> 06:38:11.060
Even a slow touch. Waste a couple more seconds as he frontflips it in.

06:38:11.060 --> 06:38:15.060
Yeah, probably enough there. I think that the turn of it's over.

06:38:15.060 --> 06:38:16.060
He doesn't score this.

06:38:16.060 --> 06:38:18.060
He has set the TRK's back corner, steals the boost.

06:38:18.060 --> 06:38:21.060
It's probably getting over, but it's as good as game.

06:38:21.060 --> 06:38:23.100
The turn of it's over, he doesn't score,

06:38:23.100 --> 06:38:25.500
this being said, the TRK's back corner seals the boost,

06:38:25.500 --> 06:38:29.860
it's probably game over, but it is as good as game over here.

06:38:29.860 --> 06:38:33.140
He is just undeniable.

06:38:33.140 --> 06:38:36.780
He seems unbeatable at times in ones.

06:38:36.780 --> 06:38:40.420
When everybody else is forgetting how to play their game

06:38:40.420 --> 06:38:42.660
in the highest pressure moments,

06:38:42.660 --> 06:38:45.820
he just keeps jogging on forward, can TRK get one?

06:38:45.820 --> 06:38:49.420
Not even, as the internet said, denies it.

06:38:49.420 --> 06:38:51.560
GG, no pull for the second year in a row.

06:38:51.560 --> 06:38:53.080
It's gonna wrap yourself in it.

06:38:53.080 --> 06:38:55.120
Alright, one for one more else.

06:38:55.120 --> 06:38:57.420
Not an easy thing to do, to go back to back.

06:38:57.420 --> 06:38:59.480
We've seen that every region that's finished so far

06:38:59.480 --> 06:39:01.480
before this one, not able to do it,

06:39:01.480 --> 06:39:02.960
but Nupo holding it down.

06:39:02.960 --> 06:39:05.760
We thought maybe his biggest opponent in Rwass

06:39:05.760 --> 06:39:07.640
was out of the way, and it was gonna be easy,

06:39:07.640 --> 06:39:08.920
but it was far from easy.

06:39:08.920 --> 06:39:13.480
TRK led in this series just like Rwass did last time.

06:39:13.480 --> 06:39:16.440
Nina just has so much talent in 1v1.

06:39:16.440 --> 06:39:18.400
Hopefully one day we get all of these guys

06:39:18.400 --> 06:39:22.320
to get out on land and get to see everything they have against other regions because man,

06:39:22.320 --> 06:39:23.320
can they blow up?

06:39:23.320 --> 06:39:24.320
They really can.

06:39:24.320 --> 06:39:28.160
He's got a good practice partner for the 1v1 worlds now in TRK.

06:39:28.160 --> 06:39:35.120
His teammate Twisted Minds are going for multiple world championships in TRK.

06:39:35.120 --> 06:39:36.120
So close.

06:39:36.120 --> 06:39:42.400
And so far, let's head back to the desks and break the back.

06:39:42.400 --> 06:39:44.640
Back to back years.

06:39:44.640 --> 06:39:46.040
And 1v1s for Middle East.

06:39:46.040 --> 06:39:48.400
has only been Nobu so far.

06:39:48.400 --> 06:39:49.960
He is reigning world champion.

06:39:49.960 --> 06:39:53.040
He will defend that title at the world championship.

06:39:53.040 --> 06:39:55.580
James Bott, it went back and forth,

06:39:55.580 --> 06:39:58.080
literally trading games until those final two games.

06:39:58.080 --> 06:40:01.080
Finally, game seven, Nobu breaks the trend.

06:40:01.080 --> 06:40:05.240
TRK loses twice in a row and he comes out as champion.

06:40:05.240 --> 06:40:07.240
Yeah, I think I'm walking away from that

06:40:07.240 --> 06:40:11.040
just impressed with how good TRK performed in that series.

06:40:11.040 --> 06:40:13.560
He was lights out for a moment.

06:40:13.560 --> 06:40:16.480
I thought that my prediction was horribly wrong.

06:40:16.480 --> 06:40:20.040
But TRK, you know, he wasn't able to get the job done

06:40:20.040 --> 06:40:21.320
in game seven.

06:40:21.320 --> 06:40:26.320
Ultimately, Nuko watches up and gets the job done.

06:40:27.160 --> 06:40:29.440
Oh man, he dies, man.

06:40:29.440 --> 06:40:32.000
TRK was so close though, too.

06:40:32.000 --> 06:40:35.000
Even a clutch game in game, oh, we didn't show it.

06:40:35.000 --> 06:40:38.080
Let's go zero seconds game in one place.

06:40:38.080 --> 06:40:41.360
I mean, we just need one more close game, I call it.

06:40:41.360 --> 06:40:43.080
We just need one more close game, Victor.

06:40:43.080 --> 06:40:47.120
Got in game one, got in game three, got in game five.

06:40:47.120 --> 06:40:50.240
And honestly, the series got to turn in game four.

06:40:50.240 --> 06:40:53.440
TRK had the opportunity to go up three, one in the set

06:40:53.440 --> 06:40:56.280
and kind of let that game get away from him late.

06:40:56.280 --> 06:40:58.480
They had no more chance to get right back into the series.

06:40:58.480 --> 06:41:00.440
And then that's all it takes for the Randall.

06:41:00.440 --> 06:41:01.840
It's just one more champion.

06:41:01.840 --> 06:41:03.360
Give him an answer, takes the mile.

06:41:03.360 --> 06:41:05.640
And like I said, he didn't want to see him on Champions field.

06:41:05.640 --> 06:41:10.200
I believe last year, no but one in Champions field.

06:41:10.200 --> 06:41:12.200
And in this year, he won a championship again again.

06:41:15.520 --> 06:41:17.000
Last year, he dropped.

06:41:17.000 --> 06:41:18.400
He got down to match point on game four.

06:41:18.400 --> 06:41:20.480
Had to win three straight against RoLoss.

06:41:20.480 --> 06:41:23.160
This time, trading games back and forth,

06:41:23.160 --> 06:41:26.120
and the only broke the trend by winning game six and seven

06:41:26.120 --> 06:41:27.200
back-to-back.

06:41:27.200 --> 06:41:30.840
And it just goes to show you how good people can play

06:41:30.840 --> 06:41:32.320
when that pressure is on.

06:41:32.320 --> 06:41:35.640
That's why he's the defending 1-1 world champion.

06:41:35.640 --> 06:41:38.000
A really impressive stuff from him.

06:41:38.000 --> 06:41:39.480
When the going got tough, he got going.

06:41:39.480 --> 06:41:47.480
Now there was a blowout game in there, but didn't credit the TRK for bouncing right back and making this a fight to the very end.

06:41:47.480 --> 06:41:50.480
I couldn't believe the saves here in Game 7.

06:41:50.480 --> 06:41:53.480
The amount of times TRK is down on the other end, fires a shot,

06:41:53.480 --> 06:41:56.480
and any other game we've watched this entire weekend is an easy goal.

06:41:56.480 --> 06:42:00.480
And the one who saves it off the crossbar to keep this one distance,

06:42:00.480 --> 06:42:04.480
he wins by four every one of those saves, a huge instrumental part of that victory.

06:42:04.480 --> 06:42:08.480
And he is the 1v1 champion for Middle East North Africa.

06:42:08.480 --> 06:42:10.160
This time for Twisted Minds.

06:42:10.160 --> 06:42:11.560
Actually, it was Twisted Minds last time as well.

06:42:11.560 --> 06:42:13.400
He's been with the work for both times here

06:42:13.400 --> 06:42:16.840
and he will continue to carry their name into Dickey's arena.

06:42:16.840 --> 06:42:17.840
Mm-hmm.

06:42:17.840 --> 06:42:18.800
Beesman seven.

06:42:18.800 --> 06:42:21.360
I mean, looking at a good bracket right here somehow.

06:42:21.360 --> 06:42:23.360
You know, TRK two times, actually.

06:42:23.360 --> 06:42:27.240
And then TRK had to beat Nush who would be clear and lost.

06:42:27.240 --> 06:42:29.200
So, I mean, you can't say that TRK got there

06:42:29.200 --> 06:42:30.040
without being anybody.

06:42:30.040 --> 06:42:31.400
He had to beat some great players.

06:42:31.400 --> 06:42:33.480
He got the world's bracket here right through.

06:42:33.480 --> 06:42:35.360
Novo is not going to be playing Yan.

06:42:35.360 --> 06:42:37.600
It's KV one for Sam.

06:42:37.600 --> 06:42:40.760
Okay, anyone will have his hands full, but what an opportunity he has earned.

06:42:40.760 --> 06:42:44.640
Getting a chance to knock out the reigning world champ in the semifinals.

06:42:44.640 --> 06:42:47.440
We'll have to do it if you want to play for the title of 1v1 champion,

06:42:47.440 --> 06:42:51.320
but we still got to find out who's going to be playing against Nass.

06:42:51.320 --> 06:42:53.600
That's going to be happening on our broadcast tomorrow.

06:42:53.600 --> 06:42:57.480
Championship Sunday for the North American 1v1 regional title.

06:42:57.480 --> 06:43:01.520
Diaz and Evo sit in the semifinals waiting for the results of AJ versus Wavy.

06:43:01.520 --> 06:43:03.680
First killer versus Zack.

06:43:03.680 --> 06:43:05.280
We're pretty stacked here, mate.

06:43:05.280 --> 06:43:10.220
I think I think where we've got down pretty come pretty confidently to the best six players North America

06:43:10.220 --> 06:43:12.220
Yeah, best six players and ones North America

06:43:13.020 --> 06:43:15.020
And I do think that in my estimation

06:43:15.900 --> 06:43:21.240
I bet I put Zach here for four of them are a little bit better than the rest DSEvo first killers act

06:43:21.720 --> 06:43:27.600
AJ and wavy they got show me something wavy had a nice best date, but he still got the job done. He got outspent

06:43:28.680 --> 06:43:30.420
earlier against evil

06:43:30.420 --> 06:43:34.740
So we have to have some adjusting as well, but Diaz can try to make it back to back

06:43:35.280 --> 06:43:37.920
Being an NA representative, that'd be really cool.

06:43:37.920 --> 06:43:39.440
Evo could make a run, first killer.

06:43:39.440 --> 06:43:41.880
I thought he was the best player in Twos.

06:43:41.880 --> 06:43:43.320
He ain't not winning it, but I thought he was the best.

06:43:43.320 --> 06:43:45.520
He could make a run in the 1v1.

06:43:45.520 --> 06:43:47.320
Got a lot of great players happening tomorrow.

06:43:47.320 --> 06:43:48.760
I mean, James Wavy said he's going

06:43:48.760 --> 06:43:49.960
to be bringing the air game tomorrow.

06:43:49.960 --> 06:43:51.480
So one thing he's been missing so far,

06:43:51.480 --> 06:43:53.800
and he gets Diaz if he makes it through AJ.

06:43:53.800 --> 06:43:55.560
I don't know, maybe we see a different Wavy tomorrow.

06:43:55.560 --> 06:43:58.240
Yeah, if there's anyone that can take down Diaz,

06:43:58.240 --> 06:44:00.720
I think that's really going to be the favorite

06:44:00.720 --> 06:44:01.800
to represent North America.

06:44:01.800 --> 06:44:03.760
Diaz, he's a tough one to crack.

06:44:03.760 --> 06:44:05.600
I've seen Wavy try to beat him before,

06:44:05.600 --> 06:44:07.720
hasn't been able to get that job done.

06:44:07.720 --> 06:44:09.080
He'll have to get through AJ first,

06:44:09.080 --> 06:44:11.240
but it is going to be a tough road.

06:44:11.240 --> 06:44:12.840
We could keep talking about it, folks,

06:44:12.840 --> 06:44:15.120
but I think it's time to let the day move on,

06:44:15.120 --> 06:44:16.240
let the clocks move on, and we'll

06:44:16.240 --> 06:44:18.240
get the championship Sunday just that little bit quicker.

06:44:18.240 --> 06:44:19.320
And we'll find out for sure.

06:44:19.320 --> 06:44:22.360
If you want to be in the building when we crown the 1v1

06:44:22.360 --> 06:44:25.400
World Champion, go to the URL on here on the screen.

06:44:25.400 --> 06:44:26.800
Scan the QR code as well.

06:44:26.800 --> 06:44:27.480
Get your tickets.

06:44:27.480 --> 06:44:30.360
It's going to be a world's first.

06:44:30.360 --> 06:44:32.760
The first time we're crowning three world championships

06:44:32.760 --> 06:44:35.240
in the RLCS be there what in history is made.

06:44:35.240 --> 06:44:36.080
I'm excited for it.

06:44:36.080 --> 06:44:36.920
I hope to see you there.

06:44:36.920 --> 06:44:40.800
So we've got one more day of one view on action folks.

06:44:40.800 --> 06:44:42.880
Championship Sunday starts bright and early tomorrow.

06:44:42.880 --> 06:44:45.680
9.30 AM Pacific will have the first,

06:44:45.680 --> 06:44:47.720
will have the pre-show kickoff at 10 AM.

06:44:47.720 --> 06:44:48.720
Thanks so much for watching today.

06:44:48.720 --> 06:44:50.720
We'll see you tomorrow for Championship Sunday.

06:45:20.720 --> 06:45:46.200
Okay, the plumber is fixing that burst pipe.

06:45:46.200 --> 06:45:47.200
We should be all set.

06:45:47.200 --> 06:45:50.440
Good thing you're protected 24-7 with your home and auto bundle from Progressive.

06:45:50.440 --> 06:45:56.080
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to figure out the right caption to post about this maybe something like I have protection

06:45:56.080 --> 06:45:57.520
Just need a lifeguard. What about that?

06:45:57.520 --> 06:46:02.400
Emerge you with a shocked face or maybe flooded with emotion. That's too much try

06:46:03.040 --> 06:46:07.220
Tuesdays are crazy. You know technically you don't have to post everything that happens online

06:46:20.440 --> 06:46:22.440
Just a major look to the finish.

06:46:22.440 --> 06:46:23.440
Oh, what a gamble.

06:46:23.440 --> 06:46:24.440
Oh, Stizzy.

06:46:24.440 --> 06:46:25.440
Downfield down to Jack.

06:46:25.440 --> 06:46:26.440
Open up.

06:46:26.440 --> 06:46:27.440
He doesn't have anything.

06:46:28.440 --> 06:46:29.440
Big shot.

06:46:29.440 --> 06:46:30.440
Pass.

06:46:30.440 --> 06:46:31.440
Oh, a buy.

06:46:31.440 --> 06:46:32.440
Not over.

06:46:32.440 --> 06:46:33.440
Yellow seconds.

06:46:33.440 --> 06:46:34.440
It's too late.

06:46:34.440 --> 06:46:35.440
On the ground.

06:46:35.440 --> 06:46:36.440
One of the fourths.

06:46:36.440 --> 06:46:38.440
That is how he had taken opportunity.

06:46:38.440 --> 06:46:39.440
No ass.

06:46:39.440 --> 06:46:43.440
Not the exotic out of the way to open the door.

06:47:20.440 --> 06:47:33.180
the

06:47:33.180 --> 06:47:36.360
part of the magic of rock.

06:47:36.360 --> 06:47:40.360
The stories you can tell about

06:47:40.360 --> 06:47:42.840
the zero second buzzer.

06:47:42.840 --> 06:47:45.360
It's all there.

06:47:45.360 --> 06:47:47.400
As we return to this legendary

06:47:47.400 --> 06:47:48.700
arena will witness rock Lee

06:47:48.700 --> 06:47:52.380
Who will hang their team's banners in the Raptors of Champions field?

06:47:52.380 --> 06:47:53.580
Let's start to find out.

06:48:48.700 --> 06:48:50.700
I know

06:48:53.180 --> 06:48:57.180
To save me, I need a smile to come save me

06:49:00.300 --> 06:49:04.300
I need a smile to come hold me

06:49:07.340 --> 06:49:11.340
To save me, I need a smile to come take me

06:49:14.380 --> 06:49:18.380
I need a smile to come find me

06:49:48.700 --> 06:49:56.700
I'm drowning in the light, I'm sinking deep in the past

06:49:56.700 --> 06:50:03.700
I'm falling deep below, I'm haunted by the past

06:50:03.700 --> 06:50:10.700
I'm drowning in the light, I'm sinking deep in the past

06:50:40.700 --> 06:50:44.700
Help me, I need a song to come home to me

06:50:47.700 --> 06:50:51.700
Take me, I need a song to come take me

06:50:54.700 --> 06:50:58.700
Help me, I need a song to come find me

06:51:10.700 --> 06:51:12.700
I

06:52:10.700 --> 06:52:38.560
I used to do you as a mountain and I couldn't climb but don't

06:52:38.560 --> 06:52:40.560
I
