you
the
hello hello how we done?
well it's like if you're winning three of your games
do we have the pen?
no we don't
almost everything
can't be the little mistake because you're getting rewarded for their little mistake
so there is a bigger picture problem here and I don't know what that is but there is something else going on
yeah I agree with money, I don't know they're talking about the rebuild right and that they have to
implement the ideas once again
this is the third page of the game
just coming in and everyone's flaming cake off
Gentlemates just rebuilt and they're doing pretty well.
There just is a lot of questions in regards to KC, but also we have to talk about foot here because they are their opponent today and this is also an event.
Where is YouTube?
We have questions about, it felt like a fall from glory here, Mini, because this is one of those rosters that, I mean, one of the ories that back in the day was very much like this is that top four spot gatekeeper, but now it could be the first one out.
Yeah, I felt like last year it felt like they were kind of on a downward trajectory.
and now they kind of rebuilt their team a little bit but it feels like almost like a
water diamond version of what they were trying to do with that and right now it's just nothing
at all. I feel like Firepower wise the team doesn't have enough to take it over like against
Fnatic last week. We are here to play very well and Foot had that game to win basically.
I need to see them on the server. I bred them and obviously they look decent.
So I kinda need to hand him on the server to fully get it.
Didn't they like really, really buff though?
Okay, he's having some good performances here or there, but the other four on the roster, they're in the bottom 12 for ACS.
We need to see them upgrade the kind of performances from the other four players, not just Zeus.
Yeah, Zeus's been pretty good. The other thing about Zeus is he's being...
Right, whatever. Remove the slow. I don't think so, I think we'll be done by now.
Zeus wasn't that player at risk. So the shining light on this roster right now is Zeus.
If Zeus doesn't show up though, it could be...
Who do you think will be winning today? I think it should be.
B, K-Corp, Pacific. I can't think of anything else as an upset. I'm not skipping King, thanks
much for the tier one man, thank you. TMB's not here, and his team's playing.
And I think I'm also like asking like the
Identity and what they want to do because they saw them trying to play this is gonna have a day
I mean maybe fanatic, but they were not being passive in other senses as well, which wasn't great to watch
Yeah, both of these teams today. However are on the top of the line and either I mean they're gonna do that the right
I need to see that all the stuff probably do or die for them to be able to compete for a little bit longer in kickoff
So let's bring them to say
You can cast wingman now. Oh really? Dude that's the best one in the update. I don't see that.
So they really just added to the gecko naps in this one. That's kind of crazy.
I actually just nerfed Gekko even more, that's so funny.
This is just didn't too good man.
They're sort of like EDG when they're like, you know what?
Let's stop banning them.
Granddad Granny with the Prime Precinct the whole year, thank you, thank you.
I find it one of the weirdest things ever are all their other teams doing this in other
games on it's not red it's brown I mean sure man it's maroon I guess if you
want to go into it but like it's not blue bro that's a long time
conversation that we didn't really get to have but it's leavened on that. That jet last week was phenomenal. But on those other agents, he wasn't, you know, getting as much impact. So I feel like today...
I think that's where they're going wrong, honestly. That's my take from the whole thing.
Uh, good take with the Prime. Appreciate the six moms. Thank you, thank you. Jeff as well, tier three, nineteen moms.
She's your birthday today as well, Jeff? Happy birthday man.
Hope you have a good one mate.
Aven Split, pal. Aven Split, pal, fuck it, get rid of Abyss.
That is great after watching what they were doing over there.
And honestly, Kpop looked like she knew what they were doing as well.
I mean, it's very funny, the foot picked a best two weeks in a row and now they're bounding it.
Now they're bounding it, yeah.
I know they have a bad sign for that map, but I think it's absolutely the right decision.
It is the right decision, yeah.
And KC would have been one of the best in this series, so...
Yeah, because it was very cute.
It looked a bit silly, but I think it's a good choice.
Absolutely, and then I want to go over Haven, that being the first one as well.
I mean, KC picked it against Navi.
It didn't look great, but the bar was pretty low, like the Phoenix picked it.
You're a VOD watcher, but why is young people playing Yoru for Vitality?
It's just because they're waiting.
Yeah, they're just waiting for us.
They're face to become 18 man.
It's only temporary.
Realistically, they probably should have got a stand in it.
Maybe fit their roles a little better.
And then they could have done a one for one.
Still kind of looking like the third best, maybe.
Kasha Darzi with the tier 1, thank you for the 21 mum, thank you, thank you.
Fort of the Harbour Cove lasting as long as the brim smoke and on a 30 second cooldown instantly becomes the best smoke.
I feel like when we're looking at gasting, we saw some of those funny pics that were a little bit different, I guess.
Far away's a map you can play Phoenix on, and maybe like Phoenix, so...
Maybe it's just...
Maybe it is, maybe it's not.
Even then is what I would like to play.
We're the line at the moment for sure.
Because when we're looking at foot specifically, we haven't actually seen them.
You want a 20-second smoke?
Yes, but also, what are we expecting from them?
I don't know, I would really love for them just to go sample, right? Just go the sample haven.
that has to be shot.
They're breached over like, all men cagey, and it kind of goes down that route.
I know that we can see Zuzko, like the Neon, that's obviously been a big strength of his,
but to challenge KC and the wacky stuff that they do, I think if we just keep it simple,
Turkish Valorant, like they know they can, like that would be great.
What do you think about the Harbour changes that will be used?
Dude, people were using it anyways, I guess so.
Yeah, your route is there, your route is there.
So, nothing to worry about.
Okay, they go for this, calm.
I think to me like I disagree about the breach, I think breach is so so weak in this method that I think is we're passed on here.
Yeah, I agree with that. The way they here is strange. Usually this is the way they are strange. They're both kind of strange to be honest.
I do like this. I wonder if they're going to do the Tevrin to B for the stuff on ATX.
is who's gonna be able to find where they're just gonna only use they die by going in without the support is the question
By the Phoenix the big Phoenix believe is
It's a simple game plan right? They'll have the most simple game plan try farm this CD photo the 10
Abyss thanks so much for the prime pretty to the six moms. Thank you
I think for me on their point, it's just all about the orbs.
The code of lasting, it doesn't last 20 seconds, does it?
Last 20 seconds?
Oh, okay. Hover's probably worth looking at then.
What's the all update?
The all update looks good, right?
Or at least some paper looks good.
It might actually be legit now. The bullet thing is pretty big.
Yeah, it might actually be pretty legit. And dude, 20 seconds on a 30 second cooldown.
side for foot coming in with those two rookies we talked about identity and
it can be a shield yeah that's I mean it's definitely enough fun might not
actually be strong I'm pretty sure it's strong team you can't use it so long
still can't use it so long but
And then the other side, we have loads of flashes. They also have the near side.
They went a bit over the top then.
I thought you were doing a hypothetical with that.
We're going to find out which is best.
Two very different answers on that stage.
It might be really good one.
It's only C on the server, but that sounds really strong.
K-Corp on defense, foot on a tank.
Well, that's foot. Heated up, looking good, pushing one of the best at distance.
But I think a lot of people looked at that as fanatic underperforming and we stand on two foot and hit their stride
We're gonna time it up against KC who also have had those stumbles recently
Yeah, I really want to see what foot have got planned on this as a time because I'm playing that run very slow and your
Execution is going to have to be very direct because you don't have a lot of utility that's going to come back
To help you later on like when you're out of prowl as you're out of prowl
I don't need to. I don't need to go on the server and check the hard route.
I'm looking like a retake, but the scythe sticks over towards the site.
Yeah, that's big man.
If we take space over towards B, interesting to see that playing the comp, then normally
is win the after plan, but they put the smoke down to create pressure over towards B, possibly.
Oh!
Oh, nice shots, mate.
Really nice shots, isn't it?
And I like that they do it together.
It maybe wasn't instantly together,
But it was eventually together.
What's the harbour in it changes? I mean again, rain that stuff had to happen, you dominate ranks too much.
The harbour stuff might be really good from when you love the same.
Sounds like it.
Sounds pretty legit.
I went for K-COP, I went for K-COP and Pacific today, and I just don't think they look great
right now.
Not the K-COP look great, honestly not the end of the teams really look great at the
moment.
They're playing today.
the plane today. So I looked to get against Fnatic. I promise you there is a lot of Fnatic.
easy trying to start this out to get to making a deal out of it and even trades
this is not good enough for the defense oh yeah that's actually what there's
currently one rifle in play and it's on the attack side they have they've
managed to retreat yeah what is left on the other side it's a nice shock it's a
great shock a marshal will be decent the judge could really clean up needs to get
a little bit closer and the fact is fine but you need to get into position good
Oh!
Insta1 pops the rifle here.
Hey, God, that's scary, man!
God, that's scary.
He's after a ballad on every map right now, f***ing hell.
He's being with a partner ship.
Being with a partner ship, with a new man.
Many teams that are all to a change.
The partnership between the new men and the teams that are all going to change, depends what route they want to go.
There was a big ruma a while ago that they were doing the last games.
I don't know if that has any way to get the tournament to come.
There's a lot they could change.
There's a lot they could change and I will say they've kind of experimented a fair amount.
I wonder if he didn't think there was an AWP because he didn't go for the wallbang when he could have.
Yeah, they lost their only jewelers, but they still smoked Great Pressure.
Lots against his utility can be removed. We're still at the minute point as well
There's quite a bit for foot to work with here. It looks like the idea will be to move towards this a site
at least for now
leaving yet a jay behind to
Try to cause one of it towards me to create pressure over towards a then you can kind of hear the rotates
It needs to take a potential timing of it towards me to all call your team back here is that I mean the tough thing here
the trips up they're probably gonna be a little bit worried that they don't have
Zeus anymore because they break the trip they want to pull the rotate away from
me over to him at all is this a hard retake they're getting in very hard
retake since mr. found gets over towards on the heaven here range weapons that
they're gonna have to put into position but with the flashes that they have it
shouldn't be too difficult to gain as a really hard decision to play super
And the good news for K-Corp is that the smoke that should wreck them is over towards P.
Mr. Fanon has picked up four Zomiflashes, there's no way he can.
Did he use his Zomiflash earlier, son? And then he peaked? Or is he actually died of all the damage?
There's no way, bro.
Did I get a...
And to do that thing where I have Twitch up, I have Twitch up and then I can instantly check someone's health.
3 and 0.
Daddy, he peaks. He peaks with Omen Flash. He has Omen Flash and he just peaks. There's no way, bro.
You mean a big firehound?
I'm pretty sure we're about to hit that and again last time we saw this round two from KC
they were the big crystals they made, the first ski boots.
The battle is not quite as risky, don't even know one for KC and they can play this so passive
and so patiently. The only concern here is just look at Segetsu. The guy is completely by himself.
I'm sure he's got the cam he's seen too now back up this coming back. How do you get out of that
I can't get over some of the decisions I'm saying, why would you not pull there, instead
of doing double flash when the flash is going to hit your teammate?
My goodness, it's just two of them making the least mistakes right now.
I mean it's a nice run from Furt, we kind of needed this.
some of the decision-making is really crass
holy
why are you playing close?
I'm not having a chance at this so many questions
I'm gonna ignore it
I'm gonna ignore the last two rounds
the last two bi-runs didn't happen
we're on our first bi-be-bi right now
11th decided to get an AWP
first time we've seen it right
The other two runs didn't happen, so first time you get to the off-match.
He had a round 3 op, round 3 didn't happen man, it's okay.
Honestly, I'm not sure this round happened either.
I see, I'm really excited for the next round.
It's gonna be awesome to see our first bye v bye round.
Surely no one's gonna do anything dumb on it.
But it bounced back and ended up in the garage. So it really feels like foot
Tripping over themselves in some of those fights that you have to wonder on a short
You know your killjoy is going down taking space, but that walked through the wall
I think I best saw that the barrel of the rifle for
You go to the ground
Play through as I said, I think they're honestly lucky to only lose the one on that up against the judge
They thought they'd done enough with the prowler pushing the player back
but didn't clear that close corner. Mistakes here for foot and I honestly at this point especially
with the 4-1 like that's a pretty harsh reset to get hit with early on. I wouldn't be surprised to
see a pause coming out just to really steady the ship. There's been some mistakes. Yeah, I think
as well like... I'm sure going into slow they definitely had a better performance.
I mean brother, you're not one of that fight. I don't think you're one of that in rank. Bro,
your own wall just drop the wall
they don't want to let this one get too far out of control early on
I even missed this one
man Jim thanks for so much dude
this might not happen at this point yeah pretty much
it's okay cuz this is our first player and man Jim thank you so much for that
YouTube channel and I appreciate you
Ooh, do the power actually not get it, yeah.
Oh, more aggression coming out of Dosia.
Looking to get right up in their face, of course.
We saw Aves go down, but that was only the runner-back.
It's already a two-man advantage in Baja,
but he's wary of every angle,
but Dosia's just taking the jiggle pig to get info.
That's a really nice bait setup as well.
Usually when that Phoenix runs it,
you don't expect that second player to be hiding around the corner,
and your own Viper wall on that attack ends up adding to the confusion.
I was going to say, honestly, I feel like the Viper War has maybe won and pay-cop a lot of trades for first-guels right now.
The Viper War has definitely worked against the Mono.
Oh, that was a bit misty.
He's being wrecked by a one way that I mean he did see coming yeah, I think just trying to catch a timing, but
It's definitely not worked out and it does feel like a lot of domino effects of certain these
We change up from sir lost the other smoke over towards metal
Now they're gonna smoke over towards there. I will say as well K cop with the smoke over towards metal
That was getting used they did do a smart thing after their trip of shock put in the
uh put in the camera even side so they can see if it is actually just fake pressure.
I do like some of the little micro adjustments take over making
and this is pretty good to do. This is pretty good at the alt as well.
There's Cameron the whole time.
I'm accounting the drums around the time. Yeah obviously it wasn't
like we should we take this with what was going on.
everything that they've set up here are the again they've given opportunities
away with those grass that plays a time but when it when it comes to the rifle
rounds rifle v rifles they got a real issue at the moment and the issue is
that I mean the real issue is that I'm not sure they're convinced that they're
all over towards a is actually gonna create passive pressure because as soon as
11 on the round that didn't happen. 11 gets a kill over towards Short, creates pressure
that their wall is just being held by one person. The wall's mental block double vision
keeps two people on A. They had one person holding down A, so then after that they're
hyper focused on trying to make sure they can't have the one person on A, but each time they've
lost on Short. So they might just have to accept that the hero's just gonna get Short control.
He's had his moments, no doubts, yet he's still happy, but it's weather or not, of course, there.
We can start to see what sort of win they sang these couple of players,
and what sort of loss they've been brought to the back to one of those international events.
That's the thing, a big challenge leading those rookies, and I think right now,
really when you look at Bahá, when you look at Crisali, they're not scratching that out of
cast and cracks, itch that I have for this squad. I don't play in chaos, but that's also
That she knows is not defense not blocks of the potential angle
Does make it look like they're fighting over towards shorter a cop still changing up, but they're doing over towards
Great moly man they've gotten themselves onto the B site even with those we have molly to stop the original tap into so long
the thing is Naipa was used seemingly and they hit the guy back side if you look at the damage done
right now I thought might not have invested much in terms of well didn't play much aside though
oh my oh doesn't even cover all of this they haven't managed to connect them and then Levin's
just gone in with his oh no and they can tune out with a shorty uh this was meant to be a fix for
foot instead it's look like i mean more problems but they managed to kind of look okay in the end
somehow. This is not a good way to lay out though. My guy went for this. And that's the
high HP gun. Very, very nice from K-Cop on this one. Gotta say K-Cop, K-Cop looking kind
of nice though. Yeah, they're like in problems solving noise and everything.
time and kickoff and changing up a little bit.
Yeah man, you can get a...
It's not a great moment.
be coming in but they were already past it I mean this is a timing issue it's a synergy issue
and coming out of the timeout that's not the round I want to see my team playing
big mistakes for foot man and we're eight rounds in KC not breaking a sweat
nah this has been okay but they went for it they went for a nice setup on this one contact into
uh slash it's basically just the paper etc okay one of these teams needs to dominate
If we're gonna see the maker run through the law bracket KCR dominating and then they have the TPO of it towards C that was weak
The cake over looked like they saw that at least this month this month is looking nice for them
They can obviously further make quite a few mistakes
This is probably this might be the clean this month
They're playing.
It's okay, you guys can just accept that.
They cancel?
Go on.
I mean, he would have died.
It would have been so dumb.
Ah, that's not lucky.
I mean they win a 4v2, it just kind of shows how strong the Viper is over towards mid,
every single team on attack does it now, teams are going to be on top of it, they kind of
wear on top of it to be honest, they stopped so much.
It's alright, thanks for the T1 man, thank you, thank you.
Yeah, spacing here is really, really off from that.
I tried to go in a little too fast there.
Yeah, so get those descend in it before the rest of this scene.
More to the hell of mine, pretty cool the 44 months.
I appreciate you doing this.
Yeah, you guys are far...
I don't know if they're...
I don't know if they're relevant to communicating that they had done this before, but...
They had done this before.
They stream on YouTube as well? I stream on YouTube right now, man.
right round for Kristalli. It's a get-so-yeah, he has no choice. Honestly, they probably would have
saved in the 2v4 if Doja wasn't so far up already. Two rounds in a row, K-Cork. Had a sick lead,
money in the bin now. The panel needs to save this, also would love to do damage. It's a hard spot.
You should, you should just save.
Their opponents tried to make the same play through the smoke they had done in the past
Abiz, I don't think he flashed out of that smoke though. Did he just stepped?
Well flashes, yeah, they're trying to they're trying to just speak the
They're trying to speak the
Fate problem. Honestly, it might have been the fact that Leaven did it earlier
And he just said you can get away with it
man push-up
you can see yeah it's a really nice process
yeah they got my two classes though
i guess it was a dreading 4 with the prime of 3
thank you thank you dreading
i poured an all nighter for this match i live in canada
it looks like you're mine are too well
you weren't from all nighters the k-corp fur
this is a nice one
confident perhaps as they've started to put that around together and they're also straining
the economy of KC towards the end of the game we could get an eco out of them in the next
to allow for that kind of a little bit.
Hey, this was an awful, a truly awful start for Foot, but they still have plenty of time
left to stabilize. They've got back into the game, they may not play at the time, they've
got back just in time.
Okay, again, we've already seen them in the first map of the last series get absolutely
He batted and then played probably up to what?
50-60 rounds from then on.
That was the tied record I believe for VCT longest game.
Just someone told me.
We'll get someone to back kick that.
Yeah, I don't really give him pretty good info.
Three persons stank with the server on heaven.
We had recon and double shock.
Oh, it's nice, but it's pretty far away from this one.
See, I mean, Dust9 is just showing in jungle.
Oh, they play from there, they play from there.
Jesus.
That doesn't...
Big 1v2.
Oh, the trip down long really owns it to him here.
What the music could have gone to Gabby.
They're coming.
Oh.
They're both jumping.
It's a lovely round, it's a lovely 1v2, but...
the cons maybe a little off too yeah quite a few things are a little off and
see that Jesus he's gonna have so many rounds to hyperanalyze yeah that jump
around from our is he keeping up the positivity from last week I know he was
trying really hard to be positive last week I don't think he can get more than
a week out of that surprise if you made it to the end of the week I'd be shocked
6-4.
KC came in leading.
But the commanding leading back, they both jumped.
They couldn't answer up, they couldn't find anything.
When you're big round, the sources will be down to an eco next.
He lost a 2v4 and a 1v2.
A 2v4? I can understand it.
A 1v2.
Holy.
The whole night is definitely paying off.
definitely paying off. I mean if you're looking for entertainment.
much over in terms of orbs but your opponents aren't particularly close
you've got nothing to lose in terms of weaponry might as well give this one a
go might as well try and see if you can find a gun for yourself or at least
remove some of theirs it ultimately is not gonna affect too much unless you can
actually steal the round away in the energy
just playing very patient even takes down Shados leaves it all on to just to get to him
by each of decided he's gonna be the rapist the other three hiding back towards the long
I'm in there, but then...
So, back in this one.
Yeah, no, I was looking at the next map too.
I thought surely this would be an absolutely fine one with how they're playing.
It actually makes a lot of sense.
And then we've seen...
Ever since that 2v4, we've seen an absolute disaster.
the down me we had moments where sure there were mistakes on foot but it just
seemed like the demise you think of the harbour and buffs we spoke about it quite a
bit it looks kind of legit man
it's all kind of legit
if that's that anyone off it's being blocked off so get to traded and then
initial fight but Levin is going walkabouts he's got a gate crash he can
get out of here so he stands his ground looking to take one shot one player
The thing is, I mean 7 rounds is actually pretty decent, that's pretty decent considering the comp they're against.
It's pretty good.
Should have been like a level 1, yeah, they definitely are.
They definitely could have been higher.
I think this is the making us different between other teams. That's why about Shadows, what can I say, he surprised me a lot because he has very good game power and also his game style and understanding how to call about IG Link.
I mean he surprised me a lot, I didn't expect this to be honest.
But first of all, in this team, Errol is too funny, I'm laughing every time to be honest.
Every person is so good.
I bought Sugec's Dima.
Basically, if I can put his one word, it could be confidence.
Because when I see Dima is playing clutch, or I don't know, 1v3 situation, 2v3 situation.
When I'm watching him, he's always giving me confidence.
My goal for this year, last year, was going very good for me.
It was my rookie year, but some bad things happened and we lost on the way.
So this year I'm hungrier than usual because I mean, how do you say?
I couldn't reach my goals properly and this wasn't my expectation from last year.
But this year I'm feeling full confidence, especially with coach staff, with players.
I mean, everyone is giving me very good support and they try to improve me outside the game,
in game as well.
So yeah, I'm feeling very full confidence.
So everything will be different in my opinion, but we need to see how it goes.
Your body knows a sense of victory. Seize when mind, movement and gear ignite as one.
Now, stepping to your zone.
What would you feel about the glow of Phoenix all the time of freezing when they start diffusing?
make the first thing in the wrong agent's mom.
They shouldn't be buffing close with our Rankeders.
Infinix is in an okay spot.
The Viper gets the raid boss.
the attack because that's the synergy between him and Abbas that's where I
need to see them working together okay let's let's orb count we're gonna be orb
counting on a tank his cake up when they played it was pick up the
paid Navi right and they maybe got one orb on attack that was pretty rough so
surely they would have learned from that game so we're gonna be counting orbs on
the Phoenix slow shift towards this A site
Levin a little further back I don't know where Hurley the turret though plays as the
second man and the least secures the information for foot.
Stalyn pulls back to site, haha, rotates in.
The two rookies on that defensive side.
Little do they know, they've got a big challenge coming their way.
The entirety of KC and one of the problems,
that flash that's going to be a play for Alves,
they can get in that smoke,
they can fight their way out of that one way,
especially with the wall.
It's so difficult to dodge that blind.
Yeah, I was about to say the wall,
but actually have helped them with the one way so I'm glad to see that the Bible
worked back down again
it's just being toggled by the other side
if you get three on the sign, Yetejay gets here, Ray Bost has Viper Moli
what the hell is the Viper Moli doing?
he's already able to see again, eventually, is cleared up and now Yetejay is in position
Mr. Fallen, you're gonna get one, this pistol is looking very good and less
Yeah, Tejay, can you play spoiler?
I think within the smoke, yes, goes his way, is able to duck back out of there and all the players are actually challenging in the same position.
He goes down to just one!
Okay, let's play.
Him and Zeus combined and look how the pistol from a 2v4...
Yeah, 1v1 pistols, it's another 2v4.
We got a 2v4, a 2v4 and a 1v2, that Kekalba lost so far.
...to the first half, but now, well, I'm truly locked in.
...30 seconds left.
Why does he really go under heaven?
And the thing is, individuals were not there, and when you, you know, you highlighted your behinds being a little shaky, but seeing Zeus, seeing Yetejay pop off like this again,
Christali's had a lot of rounds towards the end of that first half, they now feel like all the momentum's there, look how loud they were getting.
Finally, getting to hear Yetejay scream again.
For KC, he classics.
No chance to really disrupt this at all. Foot have gone in for a heavy investment, but that future proves to them so long as they don't get off guard by a...
Blitz out of these free weapons. This has been the worry with Casey so far like I think back to their breeze versus liquid
They're winning these big rounds. They had crazy clutches. I was like, okay
They won three three v fives in a row to stop him from losing
And they never came back
You see the organ either on the planet free
Very very nice pushing for your money as well like
I can't.
And if you tag into the bonus, does third do something a little wild?
looks like it. They're really going to install my flash double batch. Oh they are.
What are they taking? What are they taking along on that? Instant reaction. Sure.
Really good amount of pressure towards A. Surely after losing A they don't sort of
drone
Why do you look like you're going to sova drone garage?
You're sova drone garage
it's a get-suit and I'm holding the line the shots
great recovery on that shot
Mr. Fallen
I've planted
he's led them to victory a few times
this time he's stinger on the hand
he's got a gun so much worse
he's dead
it should be a 3D for Leibniz
it proves to be KC
still a little worried, if I'm fit there
I'm actually kind of happy
with what happened and I would go aggro A again
if it wasn't for the get-suit
And they've just proven to me that they don't want to replay and I can just hold up one
Considered adding too much magical juice that would transform you into a slide mate you've been watching way too many Disney movies or something man
Because that happened, I think it was the last game show up where there was 7-1 in the lead.
7-1, yep.
Really?
They put my hand and almost lost every single round from that whole pitch.
And now they've won themselves this round.
I will admit, it wasn't the cleanest, and I also think even just the reactions from...
I've never seen him make that face before.
Oh, the headset's coming off.
I think he's just blusted with noise.
That's what that face is.
It's gonna say if you if you're proposing a strap
Yeah, it's not a good. That's a good look
When I gel suggest a strap
What did you eat for lunch? Oh my god, just eggs
Well, time out from Casey. Clearly at the end of the day.
I will say that I agree with you. I think they're looking at the last matchup.
I think that 7-1 was on Breeze as well.
Okay, big buy rounds and they're gonna try to get Phoenix all.
But on this one, they got on off-holding it.
It's 8-7, they won the round.
Nothing really, I just have to stop them from getting any resistance.
This is reaction, I was sort of like him swinging his arm up in the air.
I mean, it had to be, it had to be...
Two orbs.
And what's it gets you getting really nice 2k's, a really quick, pacey double kill.
If that's a trade, which a lot of the time from what we've seen it would be, you lose that round and foot steamroll you in this early half, run away with the lead.
And with the shoe on the other foot like that, we know that often that is going to, no pun intended, that is going to favor the team that finds that momentum late.
But, uh, so yeah, the timeout I think makes perfect sense for KC taking that moment to steady up now.
They're coming up against an ult at C, they've avoided, and Arves' ult clears a lot of space
for free towards this back D site.
They'll get a plant out of this ult without a doubt and a pick!
Mr. Panna was slow to get around that corner.
That was Mr. Barlin maybe not expecting him to have an a-brainge on the ult.
For the remaining players, this is already starting to cool into question.
This is a hard retake man, they lost the... they lost the... they still have Viper ult
to block vision. Yeah, it's all about the Viper all up. The problem is you kinda want
to fight in front of that. Yeah, you can even hit it half. Well, just a nice run from
cake up, so maybe you could argue that it was a little too easy to get the AWP, but it's
the first time that they've seen the smoke, so you can give them a benefit of the doubt
of this one. And then, I mean, it's just a mistake from Mr. Fallon for sure.
There you go! The face to Zeish!
His foot now called for a run.
That woman instantly ran for that.
With the initial face.
And then him going nice pause. I know that's a good thing.
Time out for fur.
They fought their way back into this game, but a...
A big round.
A decent call coming through.
From the side of KC has put them with a little bit of space between their opponents.
And the main problem now is just the...
by and to save guns. And there's already on his way to another Phoenix ult. I mean it's
still a good timeout for them because they can talk about C, they can't let them just
get easy orbs like this. In the big rounds they're going to stop them from moving out.
to post up more chances to get that first shot off they don't have a lot of
boxes but they do they have quite a number on the table I appreciate the
nine mumps thank you so much for letting me translate it around in their
favorite nine to seven see what they do it man see what they do the save guns
three at a jay the rest are left with pistols the paupers fight alongside the
So double distract to the late garage peeks, not too bad.
Oh!
Little one.
Juck.
Little risky.
Um, double smokes on this one, so I'd actually have a really good chance to create pressure
behind, smoke over towards the spike, tap, make sure it gets, uh, shocks out, I don't
know if I shall have them.
got another smoke with a recon out of them. Second smoke goes down for Mr. Fallen now,
we've got to start sticking this. Mr. Fallen's played this well. We're about to get a master
class of how he's the smoker, but towards B, very nice one. Mr. Fallen did great here.
Double smokes on this one, played it so perfect. Little tap, got all the UTL out,
and then wait for it to be done, and then retreat to smoke again into the stick,
Right on the side as well. Also everyone fighting in front of the smoke so it's hard to spam the defuser
The slowest flank of all time
With nothing but a classic and he happens to get the angle on the two players whose sole job
It is to stop the defuse to win the round
getting them both
Well, hey, how about the game?
I love the game.
There you go.
That's the game.
That's all foot need to run from now on is.
Whoa.
Whoa, my kill droids.
The way it rounds in VCT, with just a flask of the music, come on, speak to the start.
There goes Leven.
Shut down within seconds.
This game has been a back and forth, but it hasn't felt close, if that makes sense.
At either times one team has been dominating and I wonder if this is the start of
getting back to that sort of streak once again
Yeah, I mean it's a it's an important round
The chip probably invests at least one of these could even be both into this honestly, but the school I'm being like this
They try secure it
Oh boy, okay, recovery.
back from Crustalli in this map, but then he gets two after a massive whiff of Kairos
Crustalli! It's somehow holding the line! He fell flat on his face to start this round!
He has a 3k under his belt! There's only 15 seconds for Shadoff to get to the site, plant
this like a generational formal knee!
Ah, what a round unions! Yeah, not the best fair die, but everything else is pretty nice.
And foot are on level footing with KC. I I don't know what I'm watching
I really don't like the reveal and that spray from garage. I thought oh
Oh, it's a nice shot
Then he gets blinded completely whips
Don't you dare
Panic sometimes
Like I said, big rounds, forced them down to an eco, we got our war.
Pretty sure we're only on two times in terms of orbs as well.
Definitely would like to see them late CD-FOD here and get this.
Considering they got it so easy with one smoke, I definitely want to see more CD-FODs
getting this orb.
You want to plan ahead, man, you want that orb for the next round.
others having to kill anyone
they have backtracked to CPL, we're going back over towards B
The problem with this is that he's going to go from his ult and then the two of us.
Ohhhh.
Big ol' man.
When they hear the ult, do they all be close to the smoke so they can get spammed?
Probably not.
Holy, what is going on in this game?
soon relinquish kasey still with the lead right she'll swim to get see rounds continue
it's just nuts the the fact is they will all revealed off the back of it that's to get to just
almost all revealed off of it and then they just kind of stick around as well
yeah it's hard to probably really go close we spoke about him and his hair around so i
I feel like this was a hero around for sure.
But surely we see Foot have some kind of punishment long see him.
Okay this is similar.
In theory let him de-fordrally take over towards Mint.
Not too bad. Didn't mind their different foot.
Yeah the only gun is not retrievable.
My ears and the only crystalline touch of 4K previously was pretty impressive, but so what I need to do is I need to throw this whole thing into a hole.
Yeah, I'm watching K-Corp, it doesn't matter what year it is, it just makes your day better.
And then you should be fine.
Yeah, that's what we've seen so far, but...
I mean, 2024 is pretty good.
I think we'll just forget all about cracks.
In fact, K-Corp have looked way better than fuck.
I'm kind of kind of surprised. It's uh, it's the scoreline
This one is well fiends got killed and they got the yoruba plant so it's uh
Insanely important Byrons and they got three play-alls.
They're also going to... they're also going to think on the levels that can't just spam
emails.
I put all over towards Short, one holding behind.
I see after a huge lead to start this game off they may be set to just take this across the line
But there are definitely challenges
No underscoring online for Shados meanwhile
You've got a lockdown for Bahas so a lot of potential to play retake into sites
Unlikely to be the A site considering the pits already being put into play
Any problem with this is you have your pit up, but you still need to commit those two players towards that A site
And just let them walk around you
at least to start there's some pressure put on towards a long but I mean
assisted decoy
then the old okay now we're starting to signal a bit more than we're really
looking to pressure the A-Side with the TP's taken
and we're all the way to the C-Side
oh it's pretty nice
yeah it's a shame that uh
it's a shame we didn't save our server recon for this
yeah
well the running back was kind of already cleared everything out so
Do we have a plan for this?
Got an Omenor if you wanted to make a plan default.
Ooh, he did incredible.
He might have just won the rounds.
The bomb's going for it.
They had the tap.
Very, very nice.
I mean this was a really nice strategy.
Dude, if they had a solo, if they saved their solo Recon for back of site,
there's like a really, really good run.
I'm good understanding how the round was.
out to swing in so there's that extra layer to it as well not all the x-ray that won't
basket let's keep it rolling yeah since since this guy gets two over towards one one
vipers pit one two three four that can get shot by the alvaro as well in fact a lot of
ultimates were used in that last round and then they also have the economic troubles
a judge a couple of guardians in fact light shields on everybody other than the netijay
J making this sniper the equivalent of an operator
Let's manage to get himself quite far
No, he does obviously have the the gate crash on the other side, but he's waiting to see okay
So I'm gonna jump spot
Look for information
Okay, dude look at the time and look at the time and start the be like play
That should be it.
Shugetsu would have to win.
Oh!
Almost.
Happened with his bike.
I got split even then.
They put up one hell of a fight.
With elimination.
You gave them a warning chart, yeah, you gave them a chance.
Every battle that they're offered.
The 2v4 and 2v3 now.
It's looking do-
I mean, they've lost...
They've lost two 2v4s already.
It's a third round.
But that leaves an opening.
A big opening, in fact!
And now that leaves just one.
Dosia versus Yereje.
The man coming over from Pacific to take them with a...
hahahaha no way, not one, three 2v4s, three 2v4s, one 1v2
that's kind of insane
When you know that the Viper wall is up and there's someone watching it from a deeper angle like oh
That just seems like silly mistakes coming out of the side of KC
We're gonna time out cold for that exact reason seeing those mistakes be made
I think we saw
Some signs of this from this roster again
You look at the discipline off against the anti-ecos in the first half a lot of aggressive positions
A lot of one and done or corners that you're stuck in you got to go big or go home
I mean can you blame them?
You know those risks
The game play on they might all be one show right up on one, but the game plan in general seems solid
Yeah, this might this might be the one or other six that could climb ahead if they want to
He's kind of his ups and downs
Really if your Phoenix is you know 15 and 22 something like that
We're gonna have expected that a little bit the funny thing is is like the take
I mean, when you know that that little money, you have a Phoenix one away, you know, this
thing that came in from Sugetsu was swinging out, just left massive gaps, and like, what
was fishy when you faced the close-up?
Yeah, if you just, like, they're thinking of Shados, was just holding too deep an angle,
but that just needs to be communicated.
Levin takes two steps back, he doesn't die there, and that never happens.
I think the thing is for Shados as well, as that new IGL coming in, you've got a lot
to learn.
That is the hardest part is in those post plans because they're the least rehearsed in sort of you end up in that moment
Okay, what utility do we have what positions do we have what map controls?
We have to give up. Where are they fighting you have to answer all these questions. I am yeah
Oh, but one spot real quick. He's busy doing that
And so you end up dropping an angle or something that you would be watching it
Someone else is doing that thinking that will change over time with experience
Yeah, they have a info so we take ages. They don't have to save the drugs
Lock off vision, garage control. It's nice that the Monant is being executed pretty flawlessly by KC.
Still, while this was going on word like this, but they really thought it was going to be a mid push, so they wanted to have a punish over towards middle.
Maybe they can late third now. Oh, this could be a very nice run for KC. Spike goes over towards the Phoenix.
It's a little weird, so it's a A fake, A fake inter-C split again or just C?
It could be pretty nice if he gets a kill, he gets a zolt, then they can descend.
this is getting late on the time 25 seconds left and while the run through has found nothing
all about the push on the other side of the map i'm getting a little bit nervous about the
convergence part it's already been put in it has missed but even still they're going to try to buy it
not to play it back at the same time everybody now set up and ready to go seven seconds and they
need to get that plant and they need to get it in now that's on is like close to not even having time
Anyway Zeus, it was irrelevant how much time was left. These managed to take the ball down.
Yeah, I had a pretty good chance on this one.
Too slow to get in.
It feels weird to not play around your ends and just knowing there's a light armor and you have an outlaw.
And it's been climbing ahead with the Phoenix all the time.
Now that I've got good money, they can buy heavy armor, so it's as easy as it is.
if they've seen them planting at ease.
Instead of planting after four seconds, unless I've misread that twice,
I'm 99% sure they had no time to plant anyway.
I thought you could only count to three.
Now it's obvious because they're one away,
but this is the first time we've gotten to see Seenfoot go for a big punish
because they can see over the smoke with the wayling.
Of course there's spam and red bandeau,
and now they get punished because it's too obvious when they're one away,
but at least they got the ult.
Oh yeah, well you can actually ult and heal himself up properly, but I'm out of here so I'm fine.
Doc Phoenix for the table, appreciate the 42 mobs.
What the other way around?
Use all your utility.
Maybe let's focus on the ult before we waste our wall of healing?
Nah, nah, nah.
Who needs a wall?
Casey and Mann down already, Shados being, I mean he was two away from Hondas Fury coming into this post-plot that could have completely turned his hide in their favor.
There's one left.
on himself to create pressure, they already have one to spawn to kind of clear it, and
this guy would have heard of her as heaven.
Alright.
It's a big smoke watchman, he's only going to have one on this one.
Oh, dude, he didn't check it, the television is real.
I'm lucky.
Three chances and it's all gone.
They could have won this, man.
They definitely could have won this if they had some better plans.
They got no doubt that they win this.
He had a 2v4, he had a round where they were all lying armor, and he didn't let you outlaw, do anything, he didn't really set it up long.
He then went for the obvious, with your ult, and you got punished for it.
He went away from the scenic zone.
me came in there like a horse with blinkers on it was like he was in one of the
really pumped up I mean guys I guess oh it's like we should be in regulation but
yeah that was a bit shaky to say the least KC 12 to 12 again a look at foot
is the side favorite not just because you know momentum the fact that they
bounce back from a map and momentum is out of nothing.
This game, it certainly has.
It seems like the momentum has flipped at least five times in this game.
But I think the main thing for me is the fact that Kristallis, so on top frag is looking unbelievable to rookie.
Honestly stunned again. Ah, they're going to find him. See you later, Sugetsu, Shadoff.
Try to hold the line. He's looking at the line.
Oh, we got a dink out of it.
Got an extra dink in there
to do it why not but it might equal the odds at best the thing is Bahad knows he has to take a
risk here and going to be watching the play sitting in garage beautiful now we go deeper
towards the spot Bahad has that little bit of extra space to maybe fall back into to maybe play
into maybe the double double molly full e2 on a kill jay that's the problem there's not really
any safe space to say man considering the situation i think you gotta try and uh
I don't know, it's hard. It's hard. He doesn't know that three are going over towards Garage.
I would be going, I would probably just double tell, and then double mollying, and then push.
You're all not covering, Spike is a bit of a choice, but he went for the choke point.
And then if you're doing that, should you be mollying the other choke? Maybe.
to survive that shot straight but you have that extra HP KC another chance to close out this map
move us on to split like no cover the alt yes i mean that would do it if you're doing alt for
here then the mollies go here if the alt was covering the spike then you just he plays them
and you play molly off and then you molly on the flank they kind of just went from me
It looks like K-Corp might finally do it.
I don't want to say that they deserve to win, because I don't think they did.
It felt like overall they played better, they just had so many bad runs.
It is another 2v4.
freeze from Casey now
they saw nothing
yeah, and they still need to do something
I mean, they should just get on to it
isn't too confused and wonder where they are
well now they found them
the snake slaving in the grass
and it's a freeway from Casey
I mean, sure
from foot, their pick onto their belt
and now two chances
and knock foot out of kickoff
it is a sort of crazy
crazy game
but we're gonna go over to the sideline interview
with DOSIA.
Okay, DOSIA is here,
still high-fiving his teammates,
but I have a quick question for you,
really great individual performance,
momentum going back and forth,
how are you gonna make sure you don't overheat
going into split when you stay grounded?
Just trust our staff that we trained for a long time,
we just fixed the mistakes that we had
in previous matches and working on our strengths,
so yeah, now it's going in the right direction,
I would say, maybe.
So let's see the next map, excited to play, yeah.
Alright, well thank you so much, I'm gonna let you go. We're gonna be heading over to a quick break and we'll be back with the second map of the series.
Doesn't sound convinced, I mean mate.
They lost 3, 2v4s and 1v1v2.
It's hard to say they're fixing their mistakes when they're doing so many mistakes.
Yeah, even he didn't really believe it.
At least they're aware of the mistakes and stuff, man.
win. Okay chat, we're back in a little bit. Captain Gold, thank you so much man, I appreciate
the gift dude, thank you for doing that bro, thank you, thank you. I think we've got to
revert the cooldown changes, the rounds are longer than they've ever been, mate, I promise
it's just EMEA. I promise you, it's only EMEA. Every other region maps are
finishing within 30-45 minutes. In EMEA they're all an hour long, but I promise you
it's just the region.
Okay, I'll be back in a little bit.
I'm sacrifice, but I'm still the fire in your heart
Baby, it's my superpower
Yeah, I'm kind of high
Run, do it in a shot
And you can't help seeing this underground power
Baby, it's my superpower
I know I know
I'm a little shy, I'm a little clumsy
Now I'm shooting a gunfight, I'm body-brain
I forgot to shave, I just want my forget-fate
This shit won't let me bend this, get under my rampage
You can't run, you gotta judge, you can't train
Niggin' I'm so plant B, you can't aim
I'm a peanut, I'm a champion, I'm the champion
I'm looking out, bruised, I'm awesome
Till I'm a bruised, hit on the edge
I'm forever, I'll never, I'll never fly
Look at my super power
It's like I'm super powerful
Hey, it's my super power
It's not gonna lie
Right now I'm in shock
Can't I stand it down with you?
Hey, it's my super power
My second power is my super power
Take my super power
Right to a shine
Can I see this underground
Baby, it's my super power
Take my super power
This is the first time we see Foot on Haven this kickoff.
What value are you looking to get out of the Wailay in this comp?
We make sure Waleigh be aggressive when we are on attack side and he is so strong so we put instead of Neon so that's why we picked I guess yeah did I say wrong? No no no yeah no good.
Thank you so much for that insight and welcome back everybody to BCT EMEA kickoff. We are going to start things off immediately with that Waleigh do you feel like they got the value?
I don't know if it was necessarily that they got the value out of Waleigh, I feel as if
there's two very differing ideas with how they were playing with the comp, with the
Viper, like, Cowjoy on one hand, and then the Waleigh on the other, where they want
to play aggressive, like, I feel as if there's very contrasting ideas there, so, I mean,
they clearly didn't get the value because they didn't want the map.
Yeah, but you know, see, that could have been the short answer.
Yeah, that's true.
I love the explanation, but I think, I mean, for both of these teams, this was such a back
and fourth and it was bound to foot having great things in KC, you know, making these
small little mistakes as well that Zaytia's highlighted already earlier and they capitalized
off of it.
Yeah, there are a few rounds, there was a thrifty early on and then a few of these clutches
where foot looked like they were winning rounds because of KC.
And that was something that was highlighted before and that's something where KC going
forward if they want to make a run is obviously something they need to work on, but it seems
to be a recurring theme with Casey so to me something needs to happen where the
coaches are going in there and really stopping these things because they are
pretty basic mistakes you shouldn't be losing for me to be one like this
like the 2v1 and they were just jumping around like it was just a bit silly
yeah and I think the thing is well like to kind of talk about that and in the
practice the Casey's had they played in project Blender in the offseason right
that I know like it's an offseason film you can see what you want but those
official praccs in there and I didn't really see those issues off the top of my head back then so
is this something that has just started coming about since we've got past Christmas? I don't know
but yeah at least it's on stage. Yeah exactly. I don't accept that as an excuse. I think at this
point as well like you're in the slower bracket this is do or die for you. It's really shouldn't be
these tiny mistakes being made because a lot of these players not all of them they have that
experience already so it's not in that sense you know we can't really go back to it but
players specifically that we've highlighted coming into today was Levin in terms of like
operator in terms of being able to play aggressively and Nidia felt like KC did to an extent capitalize
off that yeah absolutely and getting that off by on round three specifically was huge because they
were into that kind of bonus territory I think if Levin didn't pick up that operator already on
that they probably wouldn't perform this game and we just highlight KC's yours as a jet like I said
that maybe the jet would be more comfortable. On the defense it seems like Leaven is very comfortable.
I think it's when you switch to that attack side where a mixture of the IG adding and the mid-rounding
and then also playing your own attack is a lot more difficult. So going forward into the series,
I think there's a lot of value on that defense. Attack side is where you know...
Yeah and I think as well there's comparisons to last year and to this year in terms of Leaven playing
under a first-time IGL right like Shadows being a first-time last year you had like a very good
Directing I guess I'm over the shoulder kind of coach like how does Eng and Zeish kind of give that same support to Levin in terms of
Supporting them. I mean it seems like when Levin has a good start
Yeah, it's something that we're gonna have to look into but also we had a chance of a coach confession from the side of KC
So let's get to what they had to say regarding Matthew
more recently? Ah, no. But no, there was nothing happening, it's just like...
Stop, we should not... No, we should reply now.
Ah, really? There is nothing happening, it's just like, we need to work on our maps.
And like, as you can see, they banned Abyss, so like, we have other options and we just need to show it,
like, because if we lose today and we didn't practice it like before the next season, it means it's bad, so yeah.
Agree.
This really is the point where we are gonna be traveling different things for those who yet home wondering what the question was
It is in regards to the map pizza and pearl being a permit ban and now it is the decider
Wish we had a couple of questions about many
Actually coming into this we're like oh that means something has to be really good because you don't want the decider to be a weaker map
But first things first though split coming up next and that is a map that foot played already, but it yeah
I mean it's very close game against fanatic
I think again the story for this map is that Yetej plays Wele which is very strange like the first composition
I think they were in the wrong a very cerebral composition, but then with
Still going for the sky tail
So a lot more of a traditional foot approach like they can go very aggressive together
They're gonna have that support with each other
Yeah, I totally agree with Manny and like you've got like
utility there to help control the tropes through the dualists as well like through that relay ball the stun and they're kind of
Slow from the from yet again, but overall like foot were being aggressive last week
Against fanatic and I think this comp actually supports that idea
Yeah, the only thing it is yet to gel weather and I'll be honest not my favorite
Yeah, and I took on Casey's side. It's all about 11 again in my opinion this composition 11 hasn't had that much fun
It does see.
I mean, yeah, I guess the sky...
The problem with the sky...
The problem with the sky of Wale is the sky fash is going to be great time.
Like, I get the idea.
Like, I really get the idea of the cake-up comps.
I'm just not a believer.
And Double...
And Double Dive is there and Yor is available.
There's surely a Euro must be a thing.
Like you get the sky, you can clear an area so you know that you could go in there and
you wouldn't have to refrax, or you can just do the old school like jet and stuff, or you
flash dash.
And then you have a drone and you can clear stuff with the tail, salvo, bar, surely this
isn't that strong.
We think that we're better with Palmer Kayle.
I've been foot-dropped off ever since they've moved away from Palmer Kayle, to be honest.
They were playing their own kind of Kayle lines for Craigslist, Palmer Kayle, and Matt's.
And as soon as they moved away from that, I would say that was like their downfall, really.
They had like their own read, their own strength, their own matter, and then they just...
I think you take one of the best sentinels in the region. I know that we've moved away from like the sentinel metter
I understand that. Putting him on waylays joy. He's got good aim
But I think that if you're looking for a duelist player in Turkey
There's quite a lot of those and I think you could have had a care of other than every map
Again in this current matter, I think you can play a lot of stuff if it's like really good for your strengths
If you have a really good care you can play a care in the team on why he's taking a lot of care
He had a really good KO prayer, like top 5, you know for sure get away with it, the right
pick is strong enough.
The Knife's the only thing that got enough in the series that's not in line with all
the others.
I wouldn't do it personally though.
I was like their strength, their identity and then...
And they had that good ferry with it.
10. Oh, don't tell me you watched that game.
I was struggling with that game. Oh, that's weirdo.
Not Hellbent.
Can't say you get banned. Okay. Oh, that was not surprising.
like these are silly silly mistakes and I think those are things that you can fix but
it's also more infuriating when you go okay if they could just get through all of that stuff
and just look at the other stuff and I think they have. I think they have. I think they have.
I think they have. I think they have. I think they have. I think they have. I think they have.
I also think as well that you've gone into a meta where your original or the way they're super
important and you have one duelist who plays or flecks that plays a lot of off-batter stuff like
plays a lot of Phoenix and okay can play a decent raise but raises and even that popular in the meta
right now and then you've got Leven who on Jet is a superstar and even on the last map on Yorra is okay
but also the Rain and Change was unnecessary they're just going off of the ranks that's man
Rain and Dominance. There's a lot of big shoes to fill and a lot that I need to see before I'm
starting to get on the high train for KC the fact that we're going into a map where they lost the
Alright, we got foot on defense K-Cop on the tank. Must win map the foot off the... out.
No he didn't stun hit the dog.
Have an opening pick and have control
They have no need to make any further pressure foot have rotated in but sooner or later
They have to send players back to clear all those gaps or send players forward to confirm the forces are still here
Oh, it's a big kill, man.
team I make the difference
Oh the call for A, ah there's done a 4 surely for Windows
Repassing group over towards spawn is good reaction from first
a little rough for Kaelor Cawlin. Husker the tier one, appreciate the 40 months.
Also feels weird to instantly see two of us towards heaven at the beginning, do so much
damage here and then no one send it over towards them.
It really was.
Um, husk again makes 40 months for a friend for a long long time.
rat out in and how effective they can be for clearing out not just with the salvos
obviously the post plan with those is huge as well but your drone that goes
through thinking the ultimate and how many almost inescapable angles there are
how much pressure you can put players under with that on this map in particular
where everything boils down to a laneway that's essentially a little too small
for that ultimate so the overall is covered it's a very effective agent and
I'm honestly surprised to see that bonus against the Byron. Will they trying something aggro?
They might have used just so much easel into this. We'll see.
Basing was a little off the bat.
It's a bonus.
Yeah, looking like an insanely clean round for this one as well.
Definitely snowballed a little bit.
Maybe it would have been worth getting the Astralite, but could have had Astralite for next round today.
I'm not too bad. The game's been pretty good.
Yeah, the specific games have been really fun at the moment.
I'm Ash, but I think for them.
I don't think Gus is running up.
Weapon here at least
He's being flanked on now the player behind is very low
At least they got something at the end
Was a fantastic star from those you seeing that individual brilliance that war
that he has
And as you saw mentioned you could see awkwardness created
Why those salvos forcing players into awkward fights?
Marshal over Alba? I don't mind really. As long as I see one I'm happy.
I like the Marshal into Alba by opposite Reximone alone.
I think it was a depend on the score line who you're playing up against.
Let's build up the round a little bit, must win rounds, everyone has to eco if they lose
for first and then we should have one person there in this one, dos 9 somebody.
Long Braula set up the op over towards A, can start stacking over towards B or middle.
Kind of trying to work out what K-Copper think they've done with this one at the moment.
main pressure
HP, a spam will be more than enough to take him down.
Player standing.
He's caught in the open.
Lavin, alone.
Let's save for 20 seconds.
Seems like the most likely play.
Well, we look at what they did on the map.
And there you go.
We're seeing another.
At least they know what went wrong.
They're pinging on the map, and they said that one person was
holding this line.
That's why there were three here.
I mean, that's kind of what happens when you don't do any
map control.
you're running in vulnerable and you're being pulled back and your players holding on to the cross so
I do think KC are gonna have like the hits not bad I think you just need to force a few players
to maybe fight it to mid or maybe go for some of these other peaks because this might seem a little
bit too easy as they run into the site. Yeah I mean they're just running so you still snack.
Yeah I agree. They also gave them the heads up that they were gonna hit with the Skydog early.
Not really finding themselves into pressure and again when you look at how Mr Fallon was dealt
with their they had a first piece of utility to push him back then they had the salvos to mean he
couldn't even play behind the smoke and yet support was there and i think that's just a matter of
kc having that bit of a mid play to it too big firearms oh my god okay i was thinking
right and you've had an astral for all of them you made sure that you got the astra the flan and
then you got the last kill really you would create a plan with the astral in the two rounds of mean
he can snowball. Actually that was the whole point looking in the
Astral
He put on the main good luck with your game
Now in terms of utility, KC only had a snake bite and a bit of heal left to work with.
They knew Cosmic Divide was up so they play on the back side.
To reveal the snake bite, everything thrown through by KC was the snake bite in return,
but Shingetsu walks in and they're just holding it, waiting further back.
Shadoff's up close, he's gonna go in for the knife, he hasn't landed it halfway already!
He's failing to stop the fuse!
Oh, he's nice to handle from the foot on the sun.
Yeah, I mean, it's looking a little convincing early on, I would say.
Seeing rough plans from K-COP, they're not doing enough map control.
Amazing, amazing camera angle.
Oh, a good reaction shot.
This involved is no idea what's going on.
He's got his back turned while the blade's just
swinging at it multiple times.
Lucky to survive, but can't see no feeling.
So lucky down on that stage, 4-1 down.
They were the ones to start the last map
with this kind of confidence.
Now, look, the good thing, as you pointed out,
Tommy, you can see that momentum shift several times
in the last map, but this is Ford's choice.
for now at least it seems to be hard to detach their foot from the the pedal down below it's nice
all gas no brakes thank you
yeah i'm a little bit more nervous for this attack side because i feel like we've seen the
the sort of set executions from kc so i clearly have a lot of plans towards the b side of the map
okay well okay compared to an ad for children and they have been but they miss a point just
Okay, grab well, okay snake bite and then they're just slow
Why even the pizza in that round was so delayed because they really pressed towards mid but the two players never
Is there a lot of ice? This is fine
I feel like
At least
Facing out a bit of that utile
Needs to be a point of cool, but it seems like they're gonna go right back to
There's a very direct hit once again. Yeah, try it in a different spot. Why not? This is the round of experiment
It's not the round
To give the off an angle like that a gap in the wall that's come back to find massive value for foot
And the off keeps on going
Yeah, you might get them all here
Abes and dosha, but they came into this round to test out that a hold
I don't know what they found that they can look to exploit in the future
Should seal big deal
It's only one go Zeus is coming in with his classic
Yeah, very very nice. Big buy around the silver they spoke about in the timeouts.
Honestly with what's going on in the marines, they're going to flash dash over towards heaven and they've got nothing to exit saying.
same passive over towards A, they want a fake B
to hope that the up is set up here in their head, same
oh, that's a big kill
might work
oh, fade out when over towards A, insta got shot, I don't know how many shot it but
it stops the rotating
They've Seekers just revealed this to over towards A as well, there's only one here, one mid.
Surely he's not walking through this.
I get it man, time super low.
Waiting on the edge of the smoke, Salvo's being expended.
He's gonna have heard everything behind him, but clearly locked in on the other side of the map.
Crustalli's done well, but this flank coming in so little time, just trying to clear the map.
Stop, but the hold is enough. A nice shot from Dossier and Mr. Fowler.
It's closed though.
On the wrong side of the map, it looked like for a moment the stars were gonna align, but a walk through the pit ended the round.
Yeah, it's not a play I can get behind most of the time, but here I honestly feel like less so
Mr. Fallen's in a one versus three after that shop of time is gone
It has to be and why it's when you see because I mean they can't see the secret
Close around you see the secret
I mean for Baha
There the way these rounds have played out Tom
There hasn't been many rounds where Casey don't have that player waiting in mid and the only example
I could think of is the one where they were eco full playing a other than that
is all of that late lurk. It's either direct play right at the start or very, very, very
slow. And the fact that we walked through a pit against that...
Take off! Take off!
If this gave the opportunity for them whether they're going A or B to rush back in the other
direction, open up some of the...
My guy has to send in to the side, gets off. That's so fine, but it needs to get thrown
to someone at one point.
Still, that was a small mistake in a round. That was 5-2 on the board, still a strong
lead for foot, a full buy on the back of it.
early prowler didn't happen last time and they were on top of the fact that the
op got set up last time they went over towards B and there were three here
so they should don't know for sure but they should know this
Moji thanks so much for the prime month, appreciate the three months
Ooh, how's he done that? If they're not a...
Yeah, that's kind of nuts for him, fair play.
Emoji again, mate, thanks for the prank.
Yeah, and he kind of walked past this angle to get that pick, so...
They're not expecting this guy.
I mean, the problem is they're not gonna go for him, and he's never gonna feel comfy to push, especially as his teammate.
Oh, I say that.
Oh, it's unlucky.
Does he... does he get around the corner?
Oh my god, he got around the corner.
Oh, bro, you're moving on.
Yeah, time for the shots.
already
The plant is found and time as low as it was no longer a factor
It's chosen its side and it's on KC with Zeus an op in hand
There's no way he goes for the 1v3's already backing off to spawn KC
That was another one closer and this is a stunner. I'm just fully run really nice around from Levin
This you said in this one was a suck. I thought this one was a stumb
Yeah, it's a little messy man. It's a little messy. Let them completely screwed
And this is still a cool. Um, this is still a cool play from yesterjane
I'm after a blitzing start it does seem like the tactical pause there that came out from Zeish is
That's all I've made the difference
Oh, that's that was nice man, this is a nice exact
When you actually create a pressure over towards me as well
Give us another thing though, whether or not pushing this guy back over towards A.
Like if I'm fucked, yeah, I'm kinda happy what's going on over towards A.
Should win the majority rounds over towards B if they don't get pushed off in the ultimate.
That's what's up, bro.
Oh my goodness.
You can move 200 words.
The simple fix to a lot of the problems that come with the BBL or maybe KC
Desperate, Desperate, Desperate has gone through the VOD channel and he has the averages of maps
Is it for this year?
Or is it over all that?
Either way, APAC is averaging 32 minutes
Not a single VOD went over 1 hour, EMI is averaging 48 minutes with 5 over an hour games
And then...
So just do it, America is averaging
Dude, America's the longest at the moment.
It's kind of crazy.
APAC is averaging...
6 to 8 seconds then, right?
6 to 8 minutes even.
Jesus.
Less than everyone else.
It's interesting that they go for this.
To be honest, I would be happy with what's going on towards A, but...
They go for the same thing, they kind of failed on their bonus round.
There's been no execute off the back of it. There's now three players towards the B site.
Heaven controls back, under the possession of foot, and the dive out from Waeli gets nothing.
So we're really... we're... we're...
a step back from square one.
Grenade is landed.
Come on, still where do we go?
Grenade is landed.
Salvo being sent through.
That's the kill on...
There they are down in this room.
...being caught out has been a big issue.
And a lot of these rounds led and able to clear out another on the back of the site.
It goes down nobody left. It's a safe plant, but the bipod's pretty good. We're
Guys don't all three go into this
But if you're gonna do that
At least flash double swing this at one point
We take spawn control though. Do you want to flash out and let him have it in front?
He gave him a lot of space there. Very nice.
What the? Why has he done that? How's he won that?
Poor body made a really bad decision to go forward there.
Um...
There's such a scrappy round again dude.
It's such a scrappy scrappy round. I mean K-COP have done very well to win this.
And it's kind of a disaster.
Um...
I can't believe they're losing some of these rounds. They're having like three over towards B and they're losing extra.
They're like losing sight-holds.
This one is really scrappy, man. It's a really really scrappy game so far.
the momentum switching side, wing direction, keeps on changing
that's where the momentum is
building off of it seems to be impossible
it gets to? I mean it gets to, it's great
it's the opposite of heads
he taught him everything he knows, right?
it's been brussel, huh?
even his aim
unfortunate situation for yet again I don't know it looked like a smoke was up
and he got spammed through it I think I think that's the case yeah that's tough
but at least it's only happening on the pistol see what Kristalli can do he's up
close with a stinger and a different meta maybe what about a chance but right
now hey come on it was very impressive on a best but
Of course you're not going to turn him off, yep.
By that range he was never going to win it.
Reven really coming into his own on the last few rounds of the big clutch in the last,
a multi frag on an execution the round before.
This is the guy we kind of wanted to see, but they see we're going to make that climb
back through the lower bracket.
They're distracting enough that maybe we missed him.
in this round, from this stage, should be almost impossible, they're just playing for
the exits, so they're still back here on split foot to look after them better on the attack.
They're numbers there, but those weaknesses of the newly built IGL will shine through
that little more on the defense, which is like they did in post-plans, and those are
map one. Kind of similar to what we're watching now, to be honest.
Cool.
If you're seeing these teams losing to tier 2 teams in the AME clash, I honestly, they both might.
It depends what the tier 2 teams are playing like this, yeah, I would imagine so.
the tier 2 teams of like, teams together for a little longer as well.
I mean he was ready for the faster whole team.
but able to
Deny him anything at all but the spike on top you almost need a miracle play and the prowler is given away
Exactly where ava is plans to go
Still should have himself a 1v1 but teammates coming and even the stunner has helped quite a bit
Leaving the clutch for ava is okay. I think should have been dead to right. It's a long long time ago
eventually he will be good from a 3k from another high impact round and well for at the
least guaranteed level of the house yeah but I definitely coming into his own on
this map as I said last it felt like that was Kristalli's arc now perhaps it's
by his moment he ate this last
blinded
and we were kept by foot and his knees were gone
I mean his knees were just meant for him
a consistent answer
for them and how to get into sides and I think again we can see the ideas behind
this composition behind Tal but
I mean they're winning over towards B when there's a 3 person stack and they know they're going B.
I don't want no dash on this.
smoke, smoke, flash cross
you know that they're over towards the right
maybe back to side still
I didn't give him space to plant
no way
If the drone not see him, originally when he crossed
You guys can use the ult to plant if you want it
I mean, it's just a small...
I was gonna say, just a small section deeper
And they push through it
They forgot the Darker Stally! He's able to fight two quick kills!
Well, momentum shifting in this race is terrible.
If we were going to do that, why are we going here?
Left into a 1 vs 2 scenario, it was looking good, but 13 seconds there is no way.
10 seconds left.
He gets out of this one alive.
Crustally completely repositioning.
Just waiting, and with 5 seconds, he'll be the one to take the fight.
He loses it, but Baja is gone.
Well, it's 7-5 in the end, folks.
We don't relinquish the lead, we end up with KC climbing back, but still trailing at the half foot, looking to claim their map pick, but you know what, it's time for the halftime break, well let's take a look at Yetejay talking about his new teammates.
I guess no, it just makes us more happier because there is like 23 or 24 Turkish people
in the league.
Not planting it.
And that's just crazy.
They had a home.
Yeah, we have.
40 seconds of after-home.
This year.
I could have planted.
I'm also in Shater.
For close story, I think he is the next generation of our Turkish history because he's really
talented and I just believe in him so much.
I hope he will do better and better like every year and we'll go to the top tier more than here, maybe the world one.
Because I know this guy is so crazy and so funny.
And Korba is really good smoker and also really good friends.
We're really happy to have you here because we tried so many people and he was the one who just fit this house.
We just want to go every international experience. We also want to do some really big
assignment on the EMEA this year. We want to see our final and we just want to
make our fans more happier than the last years.
New worlds of encouragement, you know, the half of marathon.
It really does. You got this, I guess. That convincing, huh?
So we just play for each other. We just play for our fans.
How long does a half of a marathon move all the way below?
How long is a marathon? 24, 23 miles?
Hey!
Hi Tom!
I thought I was looking for you by the way.
Really?
Yeah, you better get back up real quick.
Okay, I'll go check.
Any sex?
15 miles?
Mate, no matter what, you can always walk in.
Have a break.
That's my encouragement.
Have a KitKat.
you know what tom you've had your fun cat add now it's my turn as we get back into the
game seven to five foot right now in a very very strong position indeed there's that last
round we have a spy cat shadow comes up the plan to spike and well christalie comes through
the wall. Crystalli again, this map has been by high light as well, some really big rounds
from him, but this series, it's hard to take your eyes off Crystalli. He looks so much
more comfortable there than in his first few games.
That's awesome. But again, it's similar to the last map where we saw an early sort of
blitz out of a street bank from Casey's and there's some decent rounds from 11 again.
I think he's been having a good game thus far. And this is where, if anything, I expect
things to get better for him but if you can get that defensive side operator get
those aggressive peeps that's where Waylon on this map really does thrive
but now I'm sure they'd love a pistol to even things back up
oh nice one
I think I'm like a double pistol I was just a little bit in there
the left one needs to fight his way back into the middle no shots landing
I think we're going past
There's a double pistol
They're one of the teams that you normally see those sort of like right for some dancing eco
But they're so happy to play the SMGs
But it does mean these second rounds and normally quite a bit safer
They didn't buy anything on us second most played agent
Globally in VCT and Viper used to be so much stronger not just with the toxin pools being able to be active at the same time
We could have a wall for again
No, I'm it kind of shit here
is to all of the teams who didn't play her actively when she was in a book say
bet you feel stupid now but
i hope there's no more nerfs on the way i feel like she's in the perfect spot you know
yet is a not in the perfect spot oh
did he falls back into the salvo
gun down problem is he lost a lot of space over towards him
it's been an exaggerated way to show that the utility is solid they've got an opening pick
with classics where it might be a dream situation on marshal here for people with no armor from
you hello he's gonna go down to get super i don't think he's gonna give it down coming in with
four extra orbs and around where you only invested into the marshal pretty much pays for
itself and whatever extra was kept through into this round. Not much loss, nine to five,
and this is where if Casey is going to make a stand on this map, it needs to be now.
Yep, yep, we are running out of runway quicker than a Fast and Furious movie.
They never run out of runway. They famously don't. They don't run out of runway at all.
So Mitch believes in the comeback because we aren't getting enough of that analogy.
Absolutely. Hell, if that plane could stay on tarmac for that long, I believe in anything.
It's time for double digits for foot or for KC to mount that bounce back and avoid
Pearl being the deciding factor and whether they get to stay in kickoff or be kicked out of the league very early on to start this
Year off to stage one with failure. Well, yeah till stage with a new combat
Mm-hmm. Sure. Okay. Must win round for cake or what's up?
But yeah for foot looking for the double digits a pistol in play for Baha some SMG's I get some mixed bag
But this is a round that they're gonna give themselves opportunities players holding the extremities three players full focused around that mid control
You just want to deny the utile deny the map control deny the information the case you're putting out
But one way to do that now it would be to take down nothing is tucked in that corner and
Yeah, he's got his work cut out in that regard. Yeah, most is going on the trides. Oh, it's the phone. It's done. Well, don't see it down
Oh!
Oh nice shots!
Oh man!
These guys are killing me too!
These guys are killing me!
They're loving shots against the other one in speed!
I want only a map and a half in.
What was he thinking?
The worst part is, his opponent was marked like a bloodstain.
I mean, the hunch is, so if you knew someone was there,
and you stand in the open.
That's a very silly play from a very smart player.
But a blip on the radar, perhaps.
But 9 to 6 still have quite a lead to play with.
But the credits, what is it?
I think he should stop watching China again.
I mean, the problem with China is it's just this bar, but all of the teams outside of like, five teams.
I'm trying to avoid... I'm trying to avoid this.
That's all regions? Nah, it's not this.
Super passive three stack up on a
Sometimes we get
Like most other regions have like three or two
Rough teams every time I watch China man. We're in playoffs. It should be
Passive angles should be passed that
Again a lot of contact spots 11 taking contact
We saw dosia and the same angle. It wasn't the previous round this time. He came out on top
Jadals mate, you gotta use one of these boxes for info bro, we're at 20 seconds.
right there were players there there was pressure and the control was taken out now
you got two sky fuses
bunkering down i'm looking to defend what is a
a difficult position with 12 seconds on the clock the time forces
foot forward sands leaving the hour class out there still inside this
oh my how long they want this because of that they may actually get this
practice it's a one person one for doja he's isolated it to a single player
Yetege tucked in on this site, but Doja has no idea
Every angle to the smoke, but the same goes the other way Yetege has to be worried now about his opponent walking down onto the ramp
But they're moving towards each other
Oh, they got 1v3's
Oh boy, bro
Kavisa got wrecked over towards heaven big 1v3 for just nine
Um, Shados, I got a question what he's doing there. I'm not gonna lie to you
The rotate is so late just because he's holding onto flashes for so long, at least got to do one in for a flash.
He wants to get to 35 seconds, has to not throw on you, Sky France.
Two in a row, forcing Dan to eco.
Foot don't lose a map when they have double pistols, alright?
That's confidence, man.
But he's just styled on them there in middle is Dostin I'm ready
I'm creeping up great round for him and the really ready. Oh, he's given it as well
This bond was as clean as you but yeah, there's nothing to be done about this one. Mr. Fallen alone and
You sort of look to the next round
It's going to be chaos Tom foot so close to having almost all of their ultimates online for KC
They're not that far away, but it's really the convergence path that the difference between this back on the cable
It's about the attack one. I mean, the cake of war does what this and this does, but it doesn't.
Plus, we can get in front of it, so it's not as good as we can jump over it. You can get in for it.
But at the same time, it's maybe a little bit deeper as well, so people can bust and site.
But then you get to save the smoke for pressure as much as people do that over towards B.
The main thing of this other warrior is that you can actually create passive pressure over towards A-haven as well.
I
That reminds me of the you know the first time
Yeah, guys has learned I think he's got some advice from his physician about returning to this role
So I think during his break he went up into the mountains or with like the the monks
And now he's just then he's killed Bill arc like he exactly he's done this training
He's good to go I love that I'm not saying the break is wet once it's true
I saw that man get lightheaded from standing up once after a jump and now he looks fine. Yeah, he's just like
The funny thing is that first time also works both ways because that means a good look at what's having a record of
Being on tough teams. I'll put it that way tough tough teams
98
Foot's lead is disintegrating in front of their eyes
We're doing a little kickoff in the last place like this, but it's the main
Right crates pressure over towards the next or is this just does
double block to dig deep. They've definitely got to go to the smoke. This is all
When you do this walk here people
Some people do it deep
I think I'm going to create a couple of crush rows now.
Big change up to them as well.
Big, big change up.
Oh no, not this after all again.
I'm interested in Hulk when you're the only one that can capitalize on the back of it.
A really good free spam coming out from Zeus. Yeah, I had an idea that somebody might try and make that play.
Bexados
Just have to be a save right? You're not gonna attempt the 1v4 with your economy. Yeah, man.
We're wanting a purchase into the next round, so
Wouldn't really be worth
Doing anything too aggro, but
Um, thank you so much for the prime man. Thank you for the two months.
I will say I'm not a huge fan of
of Dossier playing the same angle, but I think that's either three or four times in a row.
First time he lost the battle versus Mr Fallon. Next time it's the exact same angle. He won the
battle. This time Yedizhe basically...
The passion only seems mad, I think so. It's just when one person starts shooting the body and you
see it, and everyone starts doing it, man. If you're even slightly caught off guard, it's a free kill
onto the opener. And everything else then from KC is reactive. We have to use this ult. We have to
use this piece of utile. And that's where Foot can just go. We have the advantage. We can just be
be a bit patient. We don't have to be over aggro. We can kind of just wait. And there
you go. That's the exact thing I'm talking about. He's played there a lot.
Oh. Issues being spotted. At a timeout has been called. It's KC to take a moment. I thought
that could be the turning point there. Ava is up close if they were to get back into
it, but they were watching every little angle. No mistakes allowed on the side of the thing.
These six have the one doesn't need a reason to shoot the body. That is true
People just like to give it
It's a really messy game, isn't it?
Really really messy
See both of these teams could do with losing this map just so that I mean losing this game just so they get like
What is it nearly two months I guess until their next time
into it on kc a little bit more to like none of them going to qualify in the same
thing like this economically key thing is convergence path on the attack side
and we talked about how important the good news is i guess if you qualify at least
get like an extra best of three but we've seen on both sides the potential impact
of something like that for foot it would be a big round the way to put them off
either both the volunteer teams yeah i should have prepared for it today man we
We've already witnessed how impactful B-sets are to be with that ult, but it just creates
a few positions to stand in.
But yeah, it does look like a potential, a little bit of control.
They're all straight in with the neon.
What are K-Kos doing differently?
I would have loved to see it though.
I mean, way more passive over towards B now.
I plan to retake with the afterthought.
Conventionally, you're going to cease to get too blind on that left side.
Wanting to punish on middle.
if he spams you, you're just gonna be tilted
uh, steve, thanks so much for giving you to get
you're just gonna be tilted
should you be worried about paper x given their loss?
it's easy fixes, steve
but
i'm all 100% confident we're gonna see it
dude, where did that stun disappear to?
and that was enough for yertujay to capitalise
he's taking a lot of space
he has to spike though
and he is completely alone
sure, his teammate of barha is not too far behind
too far behind but he doesn't know what's clear he knows there were two players around the vent
so you can have an educated guess leaven at the back site is someone they desperately need to get
rid of before they can go away and now they seem to just be waiting for mr. fallen to get into
his luck on sight look at where she gets you and doja have gone they they think it's a b hit
standing completely alone lonely as a cloud leaven has got to take down so many players but
they haven't spotted it yet clearing it not in time though and his dash outgets him to save you
if you want to call it that he's got an idea the right idea ships in the know you can clear his
bike and a 2v2 you can't have a little lucky with this first one as a convergence path on the side
of foot sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't what was cosmic divide for doja team took a while
the the defenders didn't move because they only seemed to react to these two they were thinking
This was maybe a ruse like this was a fake to try and bait them into a rotation of B
So the other two are only just making their way into heaven and think about that think about how long
Also don't realize they think they're right on them
They think they're just around the corner, but they're only just making their way into the site
It's kind of a
Very nice to meet you today. Good decision from fit to push through the all for me though
So is it not just completely irrelevant considering that you're both going around the opposite
side and the guy on site gets pulled in further?
I guess they're trying to create pressure that they're coming from spawn, but they're still
going to push through it.
He's on his feet, he's banging his chest, he's just single-handedly-
The bounce of the stun, I don't even...
I don't even know.
That was a massive round for them.
And a lot of chances now to close this out.
I'm powerful, blinded.
The Viper screens crossing paths.
Iga will go through first.
They have the salvos ready and raring to go, but...
The problem they have is, you might be able to force a guy out of an angle, but if the
screens go up, country is going to get pulled 11-star more, though.
That's already yet to shake.
Error of the last round, gone.
A little nicer from K, because they're actually getting info on the sides.
Seekers, the three players will be assigned about to be detected, but all this tells them
as it happens, be taken over.
If he don't know about Mr. Fallen, he's getting himself embedded into a nasty little angle.
Left B, left the B angle.
Pretty nice reaction from this smoke going over to spawn.
Insta drone to go get him for.
yet 30 seconds on the clock Mr. Fallon now wraps around he's going to the back
side to be they're gonna try to play this wrap actually this might work
perfectly especially he might even just want to put the smoke down on something
you start with mr. Fallon should be able to stab them in the back
not so beautiful of a spray with 12 seconds the judge the fade I went in the smoke
That's so unlucky.
And Cristalli's done well just to slow them further.
Jadals needs to find everybody and he's surrounded to eight.
All goes to take us to a third map.
And we'll see you need four in a row if we're going to a third map.
And we'll have them playing them pretty sure.
So this is what I was expecting out of foot when it comes to the attack side.
Being able to find those gaps, the reality is for KC, they've got to do it.
This is a little lucky though.
And we've heard even recently from Angel about Shao in a similar position.
How much there is to learn.
The difference is for Shao, he's thinking about a game plan,
a game identity that they already have when it comes to this matchup is not quite the
same and on the defense that's where teams are able to make those gaps they're able to
push you out of your comfort zone and right here we see one of those gaps ripped wide
open by the IGL on the other side masterful mid-rounding for Mr. Fallon.
It has made this purchase a little bit awkward.
I saw those.
Yeah I mean the smokes are good.
project blender play quite a few shotguns but a lot of that was because I believe
he was still in Kazakhstan and was playing with 80 to 100 ping so that made a little bit more
sense him playing it right now has made less sense it seems like he's given that over
to get to in the pit with the bottom blast is just taking out 11 immediately
I'd like to retract everything I said about Baja earlier, if we could delete that VOD,
that would make me feel a little bit better, because he, I really, I came in today thinking
like, okay, everyone here, but Crystallium Baja, I don't understand the pickups from
map one, Crystallium was great, I still critical about him.
Well they hated him as a Mitch curse.
He's really shown up, damn!
Now he's going to be taken down second, I praise him by Shados, he's really a struggleer
of the game.
Oh, here we go, check this out.
Lots of neon on the split. I don't mind neon split.
It's always been so fun.
He did have a good neon though.
been burning
Armageddon is coming, here it is, it's by Scythe that's already been burned
Nice shot
Starting in front of the ult!
Yeah, that makes it easy when he hits them
Okay, I mean, Double Pistor made it easy, but they did look better on the map as well
They have claimed their mad pig and bought themselves one final map
For one of these teams, it's the end of kickoff on Pearl after the break
Sky here, if you're playing the sky here on the split, you're going to be way better with
first of all obviously the flashes where you're flashing yourself but the info man, they go
Double Sky Flash, Dog, and the Teo Drone, and the amount of times that they're getting
hit on their weak sites kinda insane.
They never really set anyone up aggroed to just be able to stack as well.
They also just don't like Dekon.
Erm, okay, I'll be back in a bit.
Five map, yeah.
A lot of power coming up.
these teams, both winning their respective map picks. This one was a lot cleaner from
foot than what we've seen earlier. Yeah, it was and I think like for the most part,
like it actually convinced me that you know what, Ft. Can have the firepower that they need
and the supporting cast that we were talking about earlier, like four of those players other
than Zeus being in the bottom 12 ACS looked like they were shunned. Yeah, I think Crustly was very
good at map one and he continued that one into map two. Like I think he was the highlight of this
map for me and I think there's like a really nice sign like I've been a little bit maybe pessimistic
a little bit negative about what I consider maybe like a version of foot that maybe seems
a little bit weaker than historic faith but honestly if this is just a slow ramping up for
these new vgt players then it could be good signs in the future. Do you think this is
potentially a slower ramping up like are they getting closer to what you were hoping them to be to?
Yeah, I mean they're doing better. I think that reality-wise they're in the lower bracket in the first round
So I think that there has to be some measured expectations
But ultimately I'm seeing signs of life, which is good
Yeah, that's what we ultimately want to see from foot and Grisale also coming through with 210 ACS Cairo
Big man job there. Yeah, he's doing well, you know playing on the the feed as well
is not a bad thing to have a high ACS especially when you've got Zeus and when you've got Yeteji who
on the waley I know many you were criticizing it but for overall I think it gets past marks for
this map. Yeah absolutely and I think as well when something you want to highlight specifically was
the setup that foot was able to get. Yeah so what I was really impressed with in in this game was
essentially the way that foot came into this with a game plan because Zeus is now using the operator
more, it allows them to explore a deeper game plan. So here, Foot is on the defense and we're
going to mostly keep looking at the Neon and the Fade towards the A-side. So you're going to see at
the start here, the Neon is waiting here for potential way-late-off with the Operator. So if
we play this out, he's just going to be waiting. And then what ends up happening is Crossily on
the Fade is going to set up the Neon into a deeper position here. So you see this, the Fade
Vader coming in to set up Zeus onto a deep angle and eventually he's going to go down even further and this is really important because
KC are using this fight for here
And that means that the nail could get in front of it and take a deeper line
Get all the information and then foot can rotate the other side the map very easily and this was happening every single round
Every single rounds just at the operator every single round Vader was coming in and he was getting deep information
basically a very good game plan and anti-strat against this Viper one. So we
see here is who sets up, he's got the deep line, you see the rotations happening
here and at this point you know case you're setting up now for a B here and
Foote already have three players here looking directly at this choke point. So
what looks like a very easy way of like Foote shutting down this exec has that
Foote behind it. They're not just randomly looking there and able to shut it
It's because of that deep setup from
Prosthety on these flaming kickoff allows them to easily shut the stand
So yeah, so I was really impressed here just by foot's game plan and approach and
Zeus hoping isn't just about him getting fragile even for the positives
Yeah, and that's what we need to see and we also want to see from every single of these rosters
Even though you're in this lower bracket
This is as we already touched upon your opportunity to show us what you are made of and for foot
13 and 8, it was a great game from their side of things, but now we're heading on to Pearl
and Pearl is what I find really interesting, Cairo, because we really get crazy in the
past to think that's the map that they would immediately ban when they had the chance,
but now it's left open, and Zeish saying, yeah, we had to leave it open because if we're
not good at it, then our map has to get better, and what are we doing?
I guess to some what, agree, right?
You can try and expand your map though, but is it the best idea to try and expand it as many said and the
Elimination game in round one of kickoff right? Maybe KC like as a team have decided getting a phoenix
We might be a kickoff is a way to kind of boy
The map is so weird. I just don't get the cake. What columns man. I think we got a bad read on the method
It just feels so weird to play double
So, where to play double initiator and then lose the game by going into stacks on attack,
so you're not pushing off the AWP.
And then, not getting enough info, gathering on defence, so they're always hitting the weak side.
At that point, you might as well just play double duel, yes.
It kind of means that you don't have too much confidence in your map pool,
but at the same time, they could be a positive to some respect, because you're basically adjusting to what the real situation is.
like Karmacorp aren't in that good as well so adjusting their map for accordingly might be a good answer.
Yeah you definitely hope so or maybe they were like permabandling it on purpose so that teams
would pick it and then they have something crazy up their sleeves but the matter of fact is the
reality of the current situation that we are going to throw we are going to this decided map this is
the last map for one of these teams here at kickoff which is crazy one of these teams are going to be
the first one to be sent home yeah and I think like for both of these teams
those those things that we can draw on from the series that we've seen so far
right and both the maps play and Sky's new to track hosted just as up and the
ability to also he's gonna leverage that and the other aspect to think paper
expands back as they love this phoenix and it's a map and then I don't know if I
think they will I hope they will kind of thinking they want to be honest but
Maybe that's a good thing as well.
It's such easy fixes that they should.
You can draw on that and see how the game...
I thought it was easy fixes against DE, but then it was.
What comps do you think are gonna happen here?
What do you wanna see?
What do I wanna see?
Like, obviously I wanna see the Yoru, like on either side,
like with an operator behind it.
Not the jet?
No, I think Yoru's so much better on this map, I like...
And it's so in meta, but...
Only side show routes to K.O.C.L.
It truly depends on comfortability.
It's hard to root for them when they look like this, man.
even if you do root for them, I get why people won't be vocal yet
when a share is actually really strong.
Yes, I agree.
And I think as well, if you look at KSC side,
there's a lot of, like the geometry of the map
kind of supports the Phoenix use,
but the fact that there's 90 degree angles,
those curve balls can pop round.
I'm thinking towards mid and how KSC
will try and leverage that control.
And especially towards the A side of the map,
right where it's a lot more close quarrels.
Yeah, I think it's another map where Phoenix on paper
makes some sense because the orbit control on A
which team looks better here?
your guess is as good as mine to be honest
double tail
chamber
yes a jay could take over
chamber
I also want to highlight that the chamber, because we have been talking time and time
again about wanting to see the chamber, is the right composition and the right moment
to put it?
Yeah, I really like it actually because obviously they've been trying to get Yeteji and the
position...
The only thing with the chamber is there will be a gap somewhere on the map.
Like, they're going to be a little spread out.
They've got two good agents to set up the chamber.
I didn't even notice it, but Teo fade on both sides. I think this is a very strong approach. The chamber for me, is he gonna be able to avoid the amount of drones that's there?
Yeah, the Teo on defense on sides is great for clearing with the drone. He's spoken about it a lot. Like, I like it on this map. It's good for afterplant.
For either of these rosters to compete here on this stage during...
They had Astro as well right?
Teo, Teo drones, sorry Teo salvos, you got Maldives, and the killjury, and you got Astro
suns.
If they get the bomb down they just win.
It has to be KC or foot, and it all comes down to Pearl.
That's a map, where we've kept him waiting to see both of these squads play in the past.
Historically, I always enjoyed a missed profile in the past.
Kicker from the fence, bird on attack.
Chamber, four birds.
I'm looking forward to see what Crustalli has in it, cos he's been behind very good today.
I pass in the middle, no info towards Bs, the sun is going to have to go behind B.
He's sort of on a set, no?
This is nice though, they trigger the turret before they have to start working on what side they're going for.
That's nice from him to chill out.
hard but yet a shake in the corner snook in just in time mate stop looking to the
right you can see a gun I get it though speedy math we hold on that
team has to take the risk
yeah kind of watching this find himself by going into this corner
again the ideal world is teammate just to get out here and watch it but since he looks to the right
there just see his gun
Right here at the back of the site able to move in
Wait, EMEA playing so much TAO, they like they like a map control man
And to be honest the TAO like this is probably the TAO's
Like one of the better maps at the moment
But on the other maps I can't really defend it too much
and it's up against the same squads they faced previously as well these orcs have a lot of history, but of course for KC
entirely different rosters throughout the years
Well last year's coaching staff
We're just down close
and in zone flawless for KC the perfect start with a lot of weaponry to take
through into the next round maybe even a chance for Dosia to add a rifle into the
next issue. Yeah, it's not even the normal everybody. We'll see if it sticks with the app, but this has been the case with both squads, especially coming into the bias, there's not been a whole lot of rifles, there's not been a whole lot of bonuses played in sort of like the three rifle two-pistol way so that you can do more in these sort of rounds and yet there's
There's always been moments where you felt like it was possible.
We'll have to see if Dosia has anything to do with falling out of this map.
I'll be alone, but so they can get out of here in the fall.
Takeover towards A with the Yorra, Yorra TP's over towards B, so we free up the Yorra with
this one.
Dosia, you can see how annoying it is, A main, completely under his control.
Looks like K-Cup have been preckin' this map.
And it looks like it actually.
and
the energy is they might take this back if they spot how many players are here
law of the utility thrown out the Zeus made it past there is the bucky
formal needed
and he didn't get it
the spams away not doing as much damage as they did
Chola, em, honestly at least they fought together though
leaves just to get to remaining
I planted
one versus three
doesn't least have the range but it's only going to be the one
Yeah, they do a good amount of damage.
Armory buying three guns.
I serve you won't be foolish enough
So I guess it does just come down to compositions and I suppose that's the question since a
Are you liking what you're seeing from foot you like the chamber that's coming out
Yeah, it's been punished over towards be the one trying to make it like rifles in I'd expect more defense break the trip
Leave the yoru head. Let's give him info lots of delay lots of info and then rotate heavy over towards a
Good, I like it from cake. Hope at the moment
And I think the attack is all gonna be about breaking through that a lot of pressure put on to both leaven and Zeus
But smoke off the turret
Info at one point the yoru could legit just TP over towards day as well
It's the time starts getting along there goes the TP is it a good one
They're fighting together on a mouse
was this spray through the smoke I'd go for another a few shots through
yeah look at him that today it actually looks good right now quite the ace for the rounds around
at a 4k for shados speaks volumes kc 3 to 1 no chained rounds for foot
I think we're seeing it again with just the irritation that can be caused by
that tail utility on the defensive side just slowing the initial push enough like you
Especially when you have that sort of solo duelist you want to almost like explode in towards the site
But they're never really able to put them is then section whoever did this and cake off right now
Like this map they should they should be doing it for every man. It looks so much different
Maybe it's just because the comp makes sense on this map
I'm not sure but whoever did the theory for this map on defense just let him do every man
Well, no timeout for foot after going 3-1 down, now they're on pistols.
The next buy round really would wind in the sand, has to be drawn, remember, we start
the series out and think about who's not making it is, touch your abs and always, but
I'll enable those questions.
Every softened oven is checking over towards B, just making sure they can heavy hold over
towards A, this time metal.
goes up in favor of KC
did they might go into the judge's hand saying
back and we don't know how far it can go
don't know how much weight they can take how much pressure they can stand tall
under for foot
trailing
and he had bought out, he already had an up
but they have got a lot of space towards the A site there's not a massive stack up
they can get some damage done
already ground being taken
Don't ever do it!
Nice dude, you actually have discipline as well and you can swing off his contact.
Nice. Holy.
Bro, they look completely different, I'm telling you.
No one's doing anything dumb.
of make that B site a little bit more awkward because I feel like so far Casey
been able to have minimum two but in most cases three players on A because
there just is no pressure on B long or that link position yes and this is one
of the things we talked about for foot on the attack side that the experience
there in terms of those calls you expect that to be where they have been weak
over towards B twice so they go back to their rightful center
got too many planks and see it thieves and with another
No, I mean, he didn't get pushed off of this round and they had a stack over towards A so the prowler should be coming here
Maybe didn't hold it for long enough. This is pretty good from foot to delay
You can see the trip that can break the trip he wants
Yeah, that's a good way using the stun
made the cross with the op he doesn't know there's a player tucked in on the
lap that here come the salvo it's a nice idea though the salvo out to make him go
on the open he probably shouldn't peek away should just let the yoru get the
kill but the trap just keep the bait going keep the bait that there's
potentially not someone close yeah they just didn't push off of me so they can
now have you stuck over towards me to the A site they go turret still alive
I like the nice exit. It's a good fatal back if they all go.
It's a bad fatal.
Oh, no, I complimented him too much.
How's he allowed to get that all off?
What?
Body block is a half?
Oh my god, he's gonna do it the whole time.
Oh my god, stop it Ryan.
That's body block on this one. Have they won this as well?
This is absolutely chaos. Okay, well this is we went back to the other maps
That is
And they just can't pass to all of it. It's fine. I was sure as well. I had to be lightning faster about this
They can give it up. They can definitely give it off to that
I was allowed to get that way and then he hesitated with the tail walk
Then he did his tail walk too late
Post plant I I genuinely blinked and there were three things in the top right on the kill feed
He had no hesitation by the way three goes the table if you just in support
ridiculous
And they haven't called the time out footer there. Hey, they're happy to go
I get it on the first buy you say, you know, I noticed the problems. Here's how we fix it
Let's move on that last round though
I almost want to time out just to breathe it now
Yeah I see the URL, I didn't see the URL in this.
He just got shot before he used it really.
Yeah there's a stacked around man, there's a lot going on.
surely a timeout after this one they will see just gonna kill a thing
by the these are things where you go like well i don't know how this has happened like i don't
know how i've died here and that frustration is is definitely gonna start building because
that that the last round is the sort of round where you go that's unloosable
like you can't use two oaks to take the site and two oaks
don't do anything to risk you would be killed to help and still lose convince again five and a half
And now doja alone a pistol and a judge a tour de force on the other side and I
Don't know how foot have gotten away with this round
But somehow it seems to be there's an easy shot for mr. Fallon
Yeah, they should be giving it back really at five to two
And you give yet a J and inch there just that small view five
I mean, it's a 3v5 against Eco. It's pretty bad from Avezloh. He's first contact of A main, and he's looking over towards Seth.
I'm sure all three should be there, but...
You know, I'd do a lot if they wanted to play in front of the smog, so it's just one of these.
the problem is that again you kind of sit there and go is that just a flash in the pan i think
i'm assuming levin thought that was going to be shot for him
i mean yeah it should have been shot for him
alright there's a parallel coming and it's gone and it's gone and i guess i'm gone
just play through i
you put so much pressure on avis
i can't get away
you managed to make that little crunch and now change direction
So once the B site, Gain Crash is in position, Levin can rotate very easily.
There will be three players on B. As those steps are heard, here comes Levin any second now.
And he's down here. Lockdown in play buys more time.
50 seconds off the clock. Doge in the corner. Landing in the corner.
And another to the tally! He's in a different dimension!
And he's still... he's not dropped! Finally!
I saw the gun splinter
I mean, yeah, someone with that shot on you, I get being confident here
It's a shame from the third, they saw the kill drill over towards Heaven and obviously getting the kill on Long
They just thought that was it
They had no idea someone was Alba
Yeah, Dosea just again dancing within the madness
I guess again, that's got to be an annoying one, just being caught and nobody checking
that back line.
I guess again, you see the all go down, you go, oh, retakes it up.
Okay, they're all outside the site.
They've got four players, maybe they gambled the other way.
Yeah, oh, those are waving to them.
Probably questioning how nobody checked that back angle.
Six to two.
Finally, time for a pause.
I feel like it's been coming, but that Yetege sort of like, huge round from him.
Bob pause on the pause
That's the show that oh, yeah, I think I'm gonna come out of the round way and hit the little pause to be a little crazy
But now definitely time to get back to the drawing board because this has been
Two rounds of madness for them. Where's your opponent? Definitely not for this on T Smith
They're gonna hit those reliable wins on the board keep that lead in building
Faltering at the final hurdle like this for foot after the bounce back on split
Really really solid showing from them from the rookies as well. This is no time to take your foot off the gas
The funny thing is obviously that the meta sort of shifted so that you you're running more
Double controller a lot less sentinel play and don't get me wrong like I think so gets you still
Pacific
No, man
I think that might be a closer game than what most people think and even I said it was like a
2018 but the more I think about it
I've probably played last time maybe it's more like a 75
TMV is losing it right now got a mad yeah I mean
a lot of bodies coming around that corner only good for the one there and trades and around like
this where foot come in with so many witnesses especially because they can cover the weapon
this is like trades are all over the ground the best mappers in keiko playing those initial
fights still still some rough stuff in the side going out but by far the best move down towards
water even they're all going out and then you guys will say it based against the condition that has
to be watched shadows has to come back to clear this they can come through the spawn basically
Anywhere that they go now is a 1vx fight
11 as well. I wonder how much time he's got left on his TP the answer
This yeah, he has to go somewhere the angle he was in was only good if you have the gate crash
That's an operator down on the ground the cross being held by shadows these
I was going on over towards B.
He he he. I can't hit him here as well.
Ah, ok big baron coming up.
How far do you think liquid's gonna get?
Not that far man, they need some more time.
back into
They've probably got another one in them. They're not showing any signs of slowing down maybe an extra after that, but then I think it's
I don't think it's probably done either do they but those is definitely getting
Stephanie a stage one in general contrast that face that hangs making this vibe at the moment
the one earlier on albeit it might have been the his ears being blasted by sound but
The vine looking great down to that coaching booth for KC11, gatecrash not even halfway
gone, he'll stick around here for quite a while and I think Pudder gonna give him a
challenge but he has to get out, oh it's close to that, she's shaped up spite some
bullet for it.
Diving over the top, it's a good start from Zeus, desperately in need of attack side
rounds
I get to jay other than that singular round
I've really seen much impact from this chamber playing the other side of the water towards myth in reaction
You do the gun like this as though you can clean most of a from the drone from back here
And you just sit patient the safe drone your opponents are hunting for your own pipe and wait for them to use all of that utility
timing here
Not the best, but because he stayed in the corner that could actually create more of a problem for Lemmon.
Does he now go back in the other direction now?
Oh, nice and done. I wonder if Lemmon got ahead just on this one.
He's leveled things up once again.
I'm looking at these two and they haven't even budged on this one.
The lamb bot down the floor.
That's a thing.
How do you find the first?
Just now needs to...
Okay.
I'm interested in what I'm doing in it, but for sure.
No idea! What's to get to?
He strikes a little too early.
They know that he's here and Mr. Fallen cleanly connects the headshot puts them ahead by two
I'm gonna
Get it. I didn't need to swing now perhaps a chance everybody in individual fights
But they'll look to swing together as they know
Oh man imagine he got that kill
But he's all alone
Let's get him Dicey. It's getting close and he'll find himself a rifle 14 shots still in the mag as he wraps around
But they're set up to swing this together
Yeah, very nicely done. Doss9 there needs to just bait his teammate. This guy's committed, he's not, he can distract, help him get one, then he's got Astral.
Yeah, I mean maybe his ult was, I mean it gives him too much space at stairs, but...
I think it's just better to play a retake there.
see three yeah that's cuz shade us is used to haunt already season me half of
about and a prowler's at least have me how powers better map one and map two
because the cake ops con makes sense I think I knew I should have done the click
to stretch but I think like on this map this is actually like a viable con to show
But they nearly do I mean in terms of getting in finding that space convergence path is obviously gonna confirm this round get rid of any
Possibility of individuals taking over and then coming into the next
We potentially have the armageddon ready to roll for Crisali
Well, yeah, I guess the importance as well have an in-zone for let's make sure that you have everything for the next round and
Your opponents don't get to get any more time out back home and especially when you are just for like seven
7th was pretty nice with this comp.
Can they get the plant down though?
I mean it is a defensive comp now.
you
Carter and Verti are benched. Oh, is that true? Dude, does that not feel really weird?
I would probably... Nope, I'm not going to finish that sentence, actually. Blake, FPS,
so much for the prime I appreciate that thank you thank you noir as well thank you so much also
appreciate the prime thank you that's just a rumor that really could just turn this game
kasey yeah we'll see further into the lead extend away from their opponents I had a name in my head
I had a name in my head man it's not the place we're waiting to uh play chat he just had a good
example clearly a lot of parallels between these two
noir noir blake and delos thank you so much you three appreciate you
um marching on in the lower bracket how does that go is that really for you
yeah okay make it look like we want to go over towards a but the problem is foot
have four info here so it can keep the three person stack.
Imagine they go back now but they have no info or they won't expect them to log for
us.
There were two on site.
YetiJ, six bullets.
I don't know like what the decision making is but he's in the ring.
for the job everyone relatively healthy
and well they were stacked up and ready for that
and I got no firing squad away to get the first kill with the classics that he can save the bullets
for then going back to the...
and then the problem with the classic is you then kind of give them a chance to know where you are
instead of like one, two...
I don't know.
It seems like...
Ahhhhh!
Maybe a fighter to be equipped with a weaponry is a bit interesting.
Going in for the outlaw, going in for...
You're gonna check the sources desparate, yeah, like that.
A lot of long-range weapons with pistols to back them up.
Potential that they'll go facing into the one real danger in this round, which is of course Yetege.
Only a few bullets left.
Only a few bullets he could afford.
He's gonna be challenged early and it's a dry peek out.
Okay. Yeah, not a great peek on that one.
Ha, very let him have his moment, man. What the hell?
utility towards a many teams would rotate back but now for players on this
B site they will go one more bullet KC but he makes a firepower with classics
and a single day full you tell me worry I was calm because the full utility that's
already completely gone they had multiple salvos 30 seconds it seems like
they're only a second guessing themselves they had things bang on but after not
seeing anything
left within the side
very likely his call to move away she's going to try and hold it back
maybe expecting a swing and Abez has made sure that
they go the opposite of the outlaw
singular bullet left in the headhunter and
I almost wonder if he's just going down to the spike the only thing and it's something that of course their opponent
know is that everybody is currently holding a rifle.
Yeah, I mean, we're essentially just giving them all...
Well, they don't know where Zeus is, so maybe if he just waits, going down to the spike,
or making a costly on exits, if they do come his way.
If anybody pushes that way, they've lost that mind.
Without a doubt. Yeah, long as the safe exit, and that is where KC are going.
The right call made. Zeus will go down to the spike, and Foot will go down 9 to 5.
A big resurgence needed, but that didn't stop them in the past.
Thing is, we are now running out of time.
What if we went down?
So Shadows had a rifle.
He did, yes.
I was about to say, the really good thing for KC is the...
The good, keep on the guns.
Well, it was the rifles and of course the outmorph in play.
And so you didn't actually lose anything.
And they probably did because I saw them all laughing and giggling at the stage.
Seemed like good vibes, so...
0.5, you have 0.7, good job, bro.
Well, the staff hiding on the other side, yeah, it's been called out.
9 to 5. Double digits is what Casey is looking for, and if they find it here, it is pretty much the beginning of the end.
Foot need to stop them here and now, and it has to be more than a speed bump. We need a full-on barricade.
I didn't want to shoot him, maybe it's his share of the numbers.
Maybe he saved with a drone, or maybe he was in the drone.
There's a bit easier drone, like this.
Okay, he's so dead.
didn't even start this round with shield but he survived longer than expected the utility dumb leaving him with
nothing
I feel like this is round over. I don't get the
Instadrums unless they like really wanted to set him up agrar
You're gonna set him up agrar original to salvo, you know
Look at the utility here. Would you notice use they use everything there's nothing else other than that
I don't know if she's fading.
I assume she's... I mean, yeah.
I don't get the idea of instant drawing to build.
in terms of their initial plans and hits have been great.
It's the late round, but they didn't need a late round.
They'd already won the round.
If you lose the late round calls versus a save,
then we have the future.
Oh, Fjord, not good, man.
Luckily, that's not the case here.
If a case eat double digits on the board,
weakness is there for foot,
but they do save over those three weapons.
They do put themselves in a position to buy back up
and to fight for it here.
But this is, again, not lying in the sand.
A loss in this round might as well be a loss in the series.
might as well pack your bags for a big old break before stage one, Baha! He's got the angle,
he spotted Levin but he wasn't ready to shoot. I like it though, playing passive.
And there it is with the prime, thank you for the 16 months man, thank you for doing that.
Look how it spread out KCR though, they've got a net spread across this and the only real dangers
that Yenice could walk up right behind them. Let's leave a bit of a gap.
But it's good though, kind of similar to what was happening in the first half, info, info.
for all pass and stank
even looses all pass and stank
now right here he got the guy at the back
that was nice
salvo pushes a player into the open or forces their hand for an early death that spike 14 seconds
needs to be planted and yet he's got the round in his hands nicely very nice as he said the only real
danger in this round yeah i mean kick up after the default a bit more this is essentially what's
happening on split right when they didn't break any of the uh even didn't break some meter or they
They didn't lift people off of the line of sight, so this was not breaking the detail.
It was more pushing people off the sight, but it's still the same fix.
He's still going to do some map control.
There's a bit of default a little.
early one player mid yet to JB if they can kill this guy off as they did in that
initial bonus round and this hole there's gonna become impossible and
immediately this is nice late clears with the drone this mix more sense
it tells them that they're likely not is it fake pressure is it actual pressure
still a little early for my liking but that corner there's two players there is
the smoke fades live it's good for one but it's no he didn't shoot that there
could be a player creeping around behind but it's still info it's still info it's
obviously not ideal but it's info
that is devastating
they should still win
Oh
I'm not how I thought it was going to go down but same result
Yeah, yeah, I think
and then jump into a smoke that he saw the guy with the prowler in with utility out I wasn't sure
what I was witnessing quite in that moment but uh he had to say survive all of that and get him
we're gonna see that
be resolved by a flank it seems like a lot of space being given to foot when those executes are
coming through, foot reading those timings and getting the flanks just when they need to.
For KC, time to plug those holes. They've got two timeouts, this is their first to be used at 10-7,
and Zeich knows how close they are to starting that run. Again, after this you need four BO3s
and a BO5. It's felt like he's taken more control in the timeouts at the moment.
Against teams that are trickling down from that middle bracket, the competition getting harder
and harder as it goes. I think from that mistake, his hair has been chelting.
sure looking at the coach cams really you could you could go close in this
matchup and still be able to take down but if they reach that same kind of
form that they've been missing last year's form then yeah you're right if
you could have been short after this case realistically that the team can drop
let's open the timeout they spoke about this still one of them they are getting
wrecked by this at the moment chip is wrecking them at the moment also on top
that info on the sides is recommended problem with that one is they feel like they cleared this
this one's a little different
It will be either Vitality or GX you face. Yeah, that's either one of those
Seems like a pretty tough matchup and then there's a few more
Yeah, there may be a Navi, maybe a Fnatic, and maybe a Mainz or a BB.
It's a long way back, alright?
Well, I'm just going to salvage the trip.
Well, normally you go out of the turn of the show.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, secondly, it's a lot to be here, but we'll see.
Nah, they're just never going to go over towards door.
They're never going to discover this trip.
And although KC or in the lead have started to...
The chamber trip is the actual MVP rail. They smoke behind it to create pressure like they're going over towards door
They prowl to make it look like they're going through door. It's legit just to train chamber trip every single time
Just getting info. They went to this corner. They would hear it
Info, info, three-person stack
off the map. Reveal, gone through, hasn't landed just yet, but rather has landed, it's going through.
Casing the layup, oh my goodness, this will burst the utility now. They look to take that
site with a clean plant out of shape, so we'll take all of the salvos coming the other way,
all of the spams as well, and now the nightfall goes through, but Mr. Fallen runs in on the back of it.
Oh my god. Catching both of our foot. Now with a man advantage, they set their eyes on that spike,
Shots landing from main and the late play from Doja. Oh, that's just you to use the star that was in the middle
That could have been devastating
Doja can strike from the side, but he is being watched
He was being watched as the stun goes through more time eating away from the clock
Oh, the nice little double at the same time
It should be the end of the round
The end of the play
Yeah, didn't get a half as well
Noja expertly playing this late round and KC just a few steps away from this lower bracket run commencing
It wasn't crazy convincing man, they could have stuck this because Astros suck was I mean messed up is actually you tell
But I did seem like he didn't give a damn
guy forcing down to an eco as well pretty much except in the 12 we got a
chamber oldest the main one on this one
it's definitely not been an easy road but if they complete this match they can
at least lose a main control in reaction
Oops, the reaction is power over towards them.
Three over towards site. Oh, they don't even expect it. Surely have the TP.
I was really worrying for first, they have a trip up the whole time, obviously not this
one as much as some other rounds, but every single time they have 3-4 over towards the
same, anyways.
Through another chance.
Maybe he doesn't want to give over and all, maybe to get to a lock down or a dimensional drift, I guess that's the argument, but...
Dimensional Drift on entry as well?
Well, I think that's been the scariest thing for...
Okay, that was a choice.
Well, he did then go and died 11.
Yeah, that was a choice.
I am now immensely perplexed by what I watched, but...
That was basically the worst of all.
Yes.
Choyen is being sent to get the pizza. I mean, I could stand there another five minutes.
I don't think I'd be able to put the pieces together.
What neurons were firing at that moment?
Unlucky.
I'm lucky to be on the round, I guess, for the person that died.
Yeah, I'm lucky for them.
Not that one, lucky seven.
I'm not sure what went on there.
He changes his trip up.
Mate, your trip's been getting ultimate.
On you have an alt with their executions
They have been so hard to play against by they have just had an extra little piece like in that round
But you see it the Armageddon thrown to the backside a stun
Put in the one place that would have been safe and an easy opener in fact an easy double opener for Leaven
To just make this as awkward as possible for the energy already know
exactly where he is
there you go again
slow this approach as much as possible
but there is level with the bounce
and his own mistakes in the previous round
and now 3 stand to try and keep foot alive
R2 stand to keep foot alive
it's definitely the best map I've seen from K-Corp though
when it comes to a spam like that from Aves
I think it's a force success
I'm still worried that they don't take
it's one of those what I would say with the free lesson
free lesson. They just know they need to maybe have one round with a scout over towards the
door as well. Okay. So that's fuck. That's fuck. Uh, that must be 12. But at least they
get like two months to correct their stuff.
You look at KC and go, okay, maybe I want it to be a little bit cleaner, but that sometimes you have to work through any sort of automatic errors.
And the more rounds they play, the more there is to be analysed.
The TMB cast actually is. Enable play heretics.
If heretics lose to this, I will be very surprised. It's two days to fix all of this stuff in terms of K-Corp.
That's pretty hard, man.
The good thing about K-Corp is that they have a bit of a pile that's like pretty decent.
So if they got those two maps it's doable, but I just can't see a ward where...
...erotics would ever let that happen.
That, um...
That nice defense fairy here, though.
I was actually enjoying the first half of the poem.
The least majority of it.
The team, yeah, the team beat us and at the same time Slaidjo said they were going to be good.
It's the double man. They had no chance going into this.
Well, it's a better foot forward going into stage one, but realistically, you do kind of look at this and go, okay
There were a lot of gaps double whammy. Yeah
You would map pool like the first two series choosing a map where you are utterly defeated
I think things will need to change if we're gonna see them compete to go
Masters or champions once again. Definitely. Thank you. Next game Pacific against off also again have two stand-ins
Pacific just lost their head coach
So
And that's definitely gets announced like a couple of days off this they probably been
Probably doing about that coach for a little bit
So get to congratulations on the win here against what you had some pretty great
And I think he's good to be honest
So let's start there. When it comes to your performance here as individual within the team, when it comes to the team in general, what do you think are your biggest strengths?
I just want to lose the head coach. I mean, it's misplaced a month. And I think he wanted to leave, but they kicked him out much earlier.
And right now we're just in search kinda, but of course we're... we're slow on adaptive, I would say, but we are...
We are willing to learn, we are easy to learn and we are learning from our mistakes, this is our biggest thanks I think.
In terms of individual performances, I think we have a strongest player so there is like clutches, we were clutches.
It's not only me today, for example, it was Dastan, he was winning the rounds and I was happy.
So yeah, a lot of stuff.
When it comes down to these clutches, when it comes down to the wire, what do you think is the reason behind it?
We spoke earlier to Zeish and he was touching upon the fact that there were small mistakes that are being made by the team.
Do you think that is why you guys are in these positions continuously?
Yeah, of course, of course. I feel like right now it's a very good experience for people right now in our team.
Because one guy was coming from the park, for example, and just...
you
I
And I, and I wanna be my, be my lover, be my, be my trophy, be my, be my, be my
Yeah, yeah, let me get a punch, let me get a punch, need a feel a punch, let me get a punch
Where the hook don't slip, oh yeah yeah
Don't keep getting me pissed before I make you plead
Pray for your rest in peace, it's the only peace that you need
Even a punch, bliss is the purge
Everybody please get purged, your permit keep these people
What about Pacifica? Obviously they were forced to make changes, it wasn't if they had to make the changes themselves.
All for the same thing with the two substitutions. Both have had a bit of a rough stage one.
But overall, I don't want to say there's promise because they are in the first elimination game, but I do have hope.
Yeah, I think the hope for me is that they don't have their full roster.
And I'm sorry every time I talk about them, there's one that we're talking about, but it is the rally of the situation.
You got two players coming in last second and the two players that are missing I think are some of the best players in the game, like they are that good.
So when we get to stage one I'm gonna be hyping them up again, so there's hope in the future.
And then for Pacificside, I think the reality of this team too is that like it's a little bit of a leftover team, like it's it's the kind of
ragtag group of players and I think that you expect in those moments for the team not to perform as well.
But there have been like some shining lights here or there and there's been potential.
It's not like I could said earlier like I don't think the weakest teams in the mirror like last year where it was like a little bit muddy
Like I still expect a little bit a month today, but yeah, it's not as bad like teams are getting that
Yeah, the overall bar is raising. They're keeping up with it. Which is a good thing
But unfortunately, you know, it's not the star did either one of these like
Organizations we're looking for but they're here
They're in this lower bracket and this does give them a chance to prove to us whether or not they will crumble under this pressure
discrimination as well that we had earlier today to kind of help with the math veto. We'll see that.
Oh, there we go. We had Ninja versus Autaz. Okay, do we want to throw in how we think it's going to go?
No, I would probably favor Autaz on this one. Like, Alec, Ninja's great with utility and stuff,
but in terms of like raw firepower, I think Autaz has that over him.
Yeah, Ninja is a curious choice. Like, he is more of that supportive role right now. He hasn't been
popping off like some of the other players that you'd expect, like your seven or other on today
to be that kind of player so maybe yeah okay we'll see about that later but first
we're gonna have to dissect specific a little bit further because we already
touched upon it when it comes to this roster that they're kind of a collection
of you know players that we didn't necessarily expect or know how they're
going to work out together but so far I mean they do find themselves in this
lower bracket we have seen some shining whites we've seen some sparks of success
But the question is can they consistently bring that here today Cairo?
Yeah, I think it's a best of the rest in terms of tier two like it's not the hot prospects
But don't like put this them in any way right we've spoken like
About all around here and weeks gone by about how he should have been in tier one like long overdue
But I think as well right ninja was a player who was playing on team liquid Academy
And who was widely regarded as the next player to actually get that chance at tier one
He's fulfilled that at first opportunity and cuputs come along as well who like I mean
Like what just turned 23 not that long ago another player that I think is an IGL
Consider me have had an IGL crisis for what the longest time deserved a chance at tier one to at least like I don't know
If he had trials or whatnot, but I think he should have been here a long time ago. I don't know if you disagree
I think he's a very good IGL for playing on like an underdog team. Yeah
I really think that his wacky comp approach makes a lot of sense when you're a team that is kind of a little bit more of the left of us.
Your expectations are quite low coming into this year, and so if you play the same as everyone else, then you're probably going to lose.
So I do quite like the fact that that kind of slightly off-kilter approach, that often that sort of approach that Keefer brings, I think makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, and hopefully that's something that they can play to their strength today, specifically.
but unfortunately again there is the situation when it comes to the head coach position as well for
Pacific which bit of an unfortunate one to find yourself in especially in this elimination match
but the end of the day you know sometimes that's just how the cookie crumbles and there isn't really
much you can do except head into this with full confidence and motivation Cairo. Yeah that's it
I think as well it's going to be interesting to see like with the direction right like with Cooper
and you were talking about like the wacky comps and stuff that he likes to do. How does
Binky support that as well in terms of Tim Steffen into the head coach for this match?
So yeah, I'm wondering like what the preparation and stuff will look like coming into it. I mean,
it should be basically almost done in my eyes considering what was announced like yesterday.
I think that in these situations, you don't have time to read about the whale so I do see,
Like I imagine Cooper is the biggest voice in the team when it comes to that kind of side of thing
So I think for think he is just kind of slight
Yeah, then Cooper do his thing and then we have to put the strength specifically
I wanted like hammer home what we should be really looking forward to or maybe holy should really be looking forward to when it comes
To a specific roster CNET being a very decorated player on there as well
Yeah, so see it's coming into this team again
Like I think his stocks has started to fall just a little bit and so that's why he's now seeing himself in a little bit more of a
Ragnarok team
I think though that one of the things that we're highlighting here is that over his career
He's been known to be a jet player and it's the same kind of narrative for 11 and in that last match
I'll be honest 11 actually did yeah some good signs on that
Euro melee there, but for CNET I think that the struggles are even more obvious
Yeah, and so there's even some maps like breeze where they could very easily sort amongst that jet because they have a
your elsewhere and they're not doing that so I think there is almost this tension between Hupert's idea of like
playing me slightly off meta approaches and at times just the meta approach and Cnev maybe not being comfortable enough to do that
It's almost like Hupert's like trying to change him and yeah, can't maybe. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. Yeah, maybe
Wow
You can I'm a believer you just have to be a believer too
You know if Billy was on this zest she would have your head for it. I know she loves you
role. There's no way we're mentioned right now. Come on. She's on an off day, Leafa B.
We're not summoning her, we're just playing. But alright. I think kind of like going through
with this discussion when it comes to the agents that we are seeing, the specific pick
and then the agents that potentially some of these players are more comfortable on playing.
Dissecting their composition as well is something that we're looking forward to today, specifically
Minio and it comes to Breeze.
Yeah, so for Breeze, like I said before, it's just that idea that there is that obvious approach they could go with forward Sena.
I think like Sena on Wale here, this could just be a bit of a joke.
On other maps though, it's a bit more complicated. It's going to be this kind of tension between Sena's comfort and Kupret's idea of the game.
And I think kickoff for them is actually, one of the few teams that I'm going to give them a bit of a pass on.
because I think Kekoff is one of those moments where they can kind of go back to the drawing board and kind of re-look at how they want to do that.
Ebrard has this very distinct vision for the game and Kekoff is the chance for him to kind of figure out does the roster make sense in terms of that approach.
How do we balance those two things?
And something that like there was in a recent interview with Alarante like kind of done by she-tea sports
He said that like a listen guys the way that we are viewing this is that we have a plan and how we want to change
Might not happen kickoff but for stage one we should be there and I guess like that's where you you look at this game
And you say right well if your win condition isn't actually winning like what is the the signs of improvements that we're going to be looking for
map to map in terms of the compositions, in terms of the implementation, in terms of even if it's
getting seen and comfortable on those other agents that isn't yet? Yeah, that's a question that we're
going to have to wait and see what they're going to answer to, but I think also having that mentality
of like, all right, we're coming into DCC this year, we're going to start things up, we'll pick up,
and them not shying away from trying new things, from figuring out what works for them and what
doesn't, and that's kind of the identity conversation that we're having around a lot of these teams
that we're finding in this lower bracket today, what is their identity and when will they actually
be able to find it seems to be the overarching theme here in this conversation and I guess for
a pacific today is they got to show us whether it's like these wacky comps or maybe they go back
to that comfort yeah I think that's exactly it I think they like to hit the reason why that is
is because there was a massive patch change before this year like I think that kickoff is a tournament
in which you don't get you know you get more chances than last year but you don't get that many
games to figure it all out if that makes sense like this has probably been the biggest patch
change that we've ever had in Valorant in my opinion and so it's not a surprise to me that
teams are trying to find their identity in a matter where it probably doesn't even suit the
years of region for their strengths in that. Ooh I love how the excuses are already coming up for
international plans. Oh maybe you're ahead of the curve I like that but Valorant is something that
we've already touched upon in terms of like the philosophy and just the mindset when it comes
specific but as a player what are we expecting from him today? I'm expecting him to be able to
frag out like he normally is like honestly one of the headshot kings that like I'm from tier two
the guy's headshot percentage was right up there but it's not as if it's like oh he has like small
jewels right like you can put him on a site by himself and you know he's gonna hold it down. Yeah I
I think for me like it's it's been a long time coming like I think this guy should have been a VCT
2023 he was a player actually that I was trying to get a fanatic in like 2021 or 2022
Unfortunately, he had school so he rejected us but
We can ask him later whether he regrets or not but yeah like he's a player that's been on the radar for a long time for a lot
These teams I'm surprised to only see him now and since then he's had a huge role change now
he's like a Sentinel player back then he was a bit of a flex player, but I think that suits him quite well like yeah
Sentinel role right now is quite open and diverse, so
He's able to fill the spots that cuprits wackiness kind of
Yeah, so it seems that in terms of cohesion on paper it should work and we should hopefully see something coming out from Pacific today
But then we'll start to share the conversation to all because all face another roster or team
organization that has just joined VCT EMEA this year, they qualified through
extension and they were absolute beasts in that tournament. It was scary looking
at them compete and they are finding themselves in a position right now where
they are already on that shopping block but they have definitely giving it their
all with the resources that they currently have available. Yeah they have a bit of a
slow start to kick off and we asked them to relax a little bit you know except
the conditions they find themselves in which again is having two substitutes
And I think last week, although it was a 2-0 loss to Heretic, there was glimpses of, like, the core itself was playing very well, in my opinion, that you're going to see during Stage 1.
And it just feels like, to me, I don't know if this is Copian, but it feels like they're just kind of here to get the reps for Stage 1 when they're back in their full power, in that sense.
Yeah, and I think both teams, well, considering that we already spoke about our anti, had said about Pacific,
I think like both of these teams find themselves in the exact same position then if it's like reps getting themselves comfortable
And obviously whoever wins this get more reps right? That's the other aspect
Yeah, maybe already highlighting before three when it comes to their match up against heretics
And just in general that's what we're hoping to see again today because heretics if anything
They're also in the lower bracket. So, you know, my very match actually no, it's gonna be liquid
Just like visualizing the bracket real quick. So that's not happening. I think it happened eventually
But yeah, I think the game for Ceratix, it started off slow, but honestly, there was a lot of resilience, I feel like, and just a lot of that kind of Turkish turning around those rounds randomly.
So there definitely are some moments that I don't think, I think coming into this matchup, a lot of people were expecting Pacific to win, and I expect that too, but I wouldn't be surprised if we have a close game here at all.
I think anything is genuinely possible. And if any of the first matches indication of that Casey foot Casey coming into this is the favorite and puts did manage to find a map they did manage to push it push Casey to their limits and that's a testament of how even though these teams are in this lower bracket Cairo it is still close matchup and it is still possible to make that miracle run.
run. Yeah and I think as well like for these two teams in terms of miracle runs I'm not seeing this
completely out of the way but I think like it's possible in terms of like the fact that like we
if we see like for Pacific right if the idea is worked together but for Alph like if the
firepower works out like the two subs I don't know. Yeah I feel like that's how it worked for
Alph specifically during a session it was that insane firepower. So Panfok are trying to distract
me they're doing like fortnite dances or something I don't know what's going on.
You know, when they are casting, you should go into the cast and I might need to do the exact same thing to them, but for those of you in chat that actually don't want to participate in these stances, we do have a little vote up if you can let us know who you think is going to be winning, because I feel like at this point on the desk, neither one of you is like being too clear cut, you just said the same thing.
I think Pacific. Yeah, I think Pacific. I think Pacific as well. I think as well, like, I've got a pack here, I've got a pack of Cupid and Ninja, you know, like, all things.
Oh yeah, because you're flirting with them like five minutes ago.
Just because we're friends, no, I was actually it was all around me and Kupa ninjas
And between us no
Listen the compliments came through they look like they're in the great mood and that is absolutely what we need from both of these
Rostas to be in today because it is as much as you know, it's
We put it into perspective their third match here in DCT EMEA and it is a match at its elimination
The pressure is absolutely huge and of course this is not going to be a testament to how
the rest of their year is going to go, but there are a lot of eyes on them in terms of
the expectations that they have from them.
Yeah, I mean, I think to put it clearly for Pacific, Seven's been phenomenal and Alarone
plays me very good.
They're both players I think in the top 10, maybe top 15 ACS right now, despite being
that low back there.
If Cnet's able to find comfort on Jules, that's three players.
or maybe Qpert can change him who knows but that's three players right there
who can absolutely pop off at any moment yeah and that's a scary prospect
Ninja is coming in yeah he can be developing as a rookie like I feel
like that's his spot right now is just get that kind of comfort on the stage
and then you've got Qpert running the show so I feel like there is hope for
this team yeah I don't even know that's pretty fair
I don't know if I give it all for a complete free pass either though because it's not as
if like, OdDaz and the other games tomorrow.
Yeah, I agree with you, sure you don't have your two big stars that you would challenge
the upper tiers but I don't think you should necessarily write them off as like
good games tomorrow good games but you think that offer gonna lose today I do
think I'll fucking lose today but the thing that I'm trying to see here is
I'll have had so much time this should be a buyer comment to VCTM yeah are you
telling me they didn't know this could be available no I just think the players
they got if we're going to compare those I think soft is one of the best
yeah of course I agree this is the mirror who right now is the weakest in
terms of ACS yeah I think the reality of the situation is that I just give them a
bit more yeah and I think the reality of the situation is that a favorite type of
pizza um cheese based meat man it's giving some kind of meat on there
either one of these thrusters you qualify as organization through a
stuff cast which should firepower and determination and grit and today that
are they good america's games coming up?
so without further ado, let's bring both of the states onto the stage
we have pacific against olf
see, think people play reino in that
pro-playing that is not really an agent, maybe just like an off take every so often
like once in 50 games or something
what do you think we'll make Rainer Bible and pro-play nothing?
They would have to rework the agent.
The harbour changes?
Yeah, pretty good though.
Probably might be good now, definitely worth keeping in mind, it might actually be strong.
I'm interested to see who uses the first.
Hello by the way, so I'm going to...
Okay, players are ready, coaches have had the first one but now we get to look at the
They're kind of piled on the bus
They weren't pretty big with their bus
None as well, thank you so much for the gift
Yeah, so wait, he was four now four now up in the most
Oh
Thank you, thank you. I have no stats to back it up
All right
We avoided the best but so long it had to happen.
Yeah, so the bomb on Haven here is a bit unfortunate for Alph, because Alph actually picked it last week into heretics, which is a very bold choice.
But, and it looked alright, but Pacific have a primer band on paper, so in this kind of matchup, I think the Pacific have more control over the Vito, and are able to go to places that Alph don't want to go.
That's blood abyss freeze.
Can the curches play the scummage? Yeah.
They rarely do but...
Someone been doing it. Someone Pacific, someone Amian.
That's bored enough is this question.
Probably not, I'd have to travel there.
It might have been hay when it was banned, so I think it's now going to be fine.
I mean, yeah, then that would be better.
Yeah, going through the less time efficient rules in that regard.
So when it comes to the agent select, it's ready now as well.
And we've already touched upon what we saw last time,
composition-wise from Pacific.
It doesn't look like they're changing anything there.
Yes, that means that all four are going to be able to look into that game
and really reach.
You should know what specific I'm trying to keep this competition.
Are we liking the breach?
I don't like that.
I think in terms of like actual
Comfort and the way that all wants to play I think it makes sense in setting up the way they
In this metta, I don't think it's particularly strong, but it makes sense
Engines are already here look at Shia's take
He do goes there and fall
In America's last week
Predictions
Should you not try and maybe go out your comfort zone a little bit when you do have that free pass?
I mean you are on the chopping blocks
So do you really want to put your neck out at this point already?
Do you want to try and save the run for a long as possible?
I think realistically on this map double-juice is really a good thing.
Maybe it is a stretch for him.
I think Pacific in the long term
I can both anchor.
I can both anchor B.
I guess I might have made that comparison.
You see, all on, well, can all of this setup actually work?
Because we saw it on Casey's side, it was looking a bit faster earlier.
It's like that kind of approach.
Yeah, we already saw it from Book as well, on the Haven.
And I was a little bit ahead of me, so I'm looking forward to see how they can do it.
Yeah, it will just come next to me.
Or someone that we've highlighted is having a little bit of problems here.
But this is now time to do it.
It's like we were that at this point.
Yeah, I think as well.
like Demo from what I remember, like being in Theatre, was always a little bit hot and cold, right?
But for him, when I see him on the wayly, I don't recognise that as his agent,
but I recognise it being much more traditional in terms of jet and rays.
I mean, a rays here, I think, would have been decent, it is.
The fate of the universe is on the line, Martians have a death beam pointed at us,
while Valorant playing a movie choose to a 1B1 us.
I'm saying 1v1 us. I'll 4 us. Okay, I've got to say man, he's just self-employed to start with an alien.
See, I mean you either just go and give him an ass pass, or you could, because it would be pretty funny to send like bacon and just accept our fate and just watch him crumble then.
He would be sweating everywhere, it would be so funny. Like in terms of going out, it would be pretty upset.
expectations here set a week one saying that civic have a high ceiling right yes they do
we've seen some positives I mean last series again obviously seven looking great but alerante
also want to step up to the players another player that we were talking about has a lot
of potential but I mean they were going insane last week so and artists what if they just
do it anyway after seeing what artists are like even if he wins they just came all humans
that okay Pacific on the fence all fun
attack yeah but that's not a new
discussion no it's not I feel like we've
been here at all could he adapt to this
could he maybe put in on that I never
quite he's funny I do make they love
his humor it goes one way or the other
and that is a brilliant beginning for
them
uh-oh
Okay
The one thing that would destroy the specific team off the losing their coach
Would be
Losing to a team of two standings one bullet
It was hard to make the right call, maybe frozen in place, could've maybe tried to rap the right plan, but see that, in a 1v2 this could be a lovely way to deal with any reason, whoa, who's it is, got some time to stop the sentence, back in a flat, what does there, gonna try and be a little tricky?
still very much here though and that's time another missed opportunity
44 I showed about about 40 HP here but
oh that's the one to pull up with a 3k and the pistol round on the board for old
certainly an opportunity here but and with a kill falling up to I believe up
towards rafters on that exactly the same time that you would take this contact
seen the kill feed both, the tentacle time's here just one enemy remaining
here's the green light for hold to follow through here to beat
and just certainly with an opportunity here and that I mean does probably more
than you expect in that situation. Okay one on the pistols. Losing your coach
make your team considerably worse. You would imagine so we've actually seen it
go above us
that's why we've seen so many coaches go
you don't really know
very situational in terms of
what was going on internally on the team
you asked me this last week
did I?
yeah
actually no, Milan put up like actually made a bit of a show
uh k6410 thanks so much for the primary
k, thanks for that
I think uh stern
really gonna be feeling too much pressure here
going to go hunting. Of course it's good, you put, I guess it's a trade, so still three
healthy members off the Zipley, but the site fall in once more. Seven's going to be the
earliest here, but only on a classic. And again, kind of been the light of the box
here really, seven. Thrilling player to watch, but you get to really get going this is super
early. See what you can maybe make happen. However, hand to clear mail room will make
this difficult. And they seem to be able to get away with remaining.
Possibility is neck you get a farm to. And just seven left alive now. Not too many options
obviously.
So, I think three shoulder. It is. Fabian there. Just find two zero. Comfortable stuff. Nothing
really to write home about. Hand is for those.
It's going to be a good bonus, especially by VB.
You're a specific
You're very active on the defense. Well that friend will continue here now that rifles
With good progress
What's that? Oh, it's a couple of kills. It's a bit with the prime as well. Thank you so much for the two months
Me and good in that also invested bonus on the other side of things for all the great bonus
What's the plan with it?
stun TP and swing early. Free orb if they want it.
Oh, I mean that's very nice.
The timeliness is great.
Prediction on this one? I went for Pacific. It should be fine here.
He might lose a map, maybe, but...
Yeah, and there was spamlet in the back of him.
Omen flash on site.
Here might be Omen flash for Omen flash, yes.
Oh, that was nice knife.
And I got the Omen flash out of them.
through CT excluding scenic I'm a little surprised I will try to walk through this
way I don't like it at all!
He just accepted it!
They've made a mountain out of a molehill and our ninja can barely do anything!
I don't feel you're gonna break this one mate!
Have a go!
And where did the moose go?
He's back for a second he's made it look all much possible!
Not to be in the end!
Capitalise of what looks like a...
Very nice man!
Because they had so much still on this one yeah I thought they there were so many of them
over towards heaven and I just thought they were just gonna take ramp
and then just have one more win for the actions.
Yeah, I mean they didn't really come up with the best plan, most of the Tevils are so good
they just won double Tevils.
Most teams when they show like, you know that push they did over towards double heaven here?
Most teams, once they've shown their hand at heaven, they would normally try and get someone over towards the site.
Or at least over towards spawn. They had time to do this.
the space in middle just seven a ninja now both well upgraded pistols but
a 2v4 just gonna settle for some exits here
did they got a lot of money on the board now all people survive into armory
bias enough a bit of a cushion as well it's another round where four survived
obviously they can fell on the phone yes but it can handle a couple losses in it
I'm not sure if he thought he was a little tight to the pillar, but I'll try to in-hand
now for Cnet.
A lot of ults on this one.
Honestly if you're all fair, you could try and let them use most of their ult to save
you ults for the next round of reset, or you just keep it going if it looks like it's
a winnable round.
Yeah, but he's also put his refractors like out in them open here.
Really bad decision-making.
Have you seen a couple of rounds where C-net is just melting?
He doesn't look comfy.
Has it been way late?
No, it's been Yoru also.
I do wonder if you just put him on jet on a lot of this and just accept it.
amount of you till left over on pacific still not even 100% sure it's an agent
thing but because he is just missing
they can at least challenge from that CT side
two players here potentially going to be on a slates this war but
I have to fight by Cooper in the meantime finds the other I suddenly just turned on the
10 hasn't their neck he now has to try and clutch up my little HB
slates the weaker off the three but I'm the two to go on good oh I'm gonna go down
without a fight there we go yes probably wasn't good in the end
wasn't what he had planned um it should be okay though right they got one all out
night man but i mean it's not the worst compensation well the company is always
hey where can we put him on an operator right look about obviously switching
around agents and whatnot thank you you can see it
I still found comfort throughout these different matches and different compositions is with an operator in hand
It's got a bit of a defensive side
That's what I'd like to see you baby!
Well I don't know if I'll just get obviously operated back in hand for him but just another one of those instances
I mean it's all for the timing where that happens while I'm literally mid conversation about it
I don't know, I mean I don't know
Little tech balls already?
Why is the time stop?
Silence.
That's fallen over the studio, the time being.
And maybe just a little issue to look into.
But come back to that discussion again.
It's always so difficult because I think seeing as a player
where the expectations are still just so high.
Yeah, it never really tailed off, did it?
There was never like, okay, we'll give them a break.
a break it's always been or when's he gonna get back to that what is the mouse issue which
I still I still think is fair I think a mouse issue we have another mouse issue yet to show
the yeah no they really are issue earlier but I still think it's fair to logic to see that again
even another desk touching on this there are still instances where it's like well why not put him
back in the comfort zone right yeah it is always that right and I know that technically you've
You've got to hope that your jewelers can be a little bit more versatile and maybe you
see the concepts of what they want to do with that new agent.
But if it's so stark, if it's so night and day, you think give it a go, wouldn't you?
I mean, maybe the elimination game a little bit too heavy to do it, but still, I'd love
to see them toy that idea.
But.
Well, okay.
My response to that would be, do we see Pacific going all the way here in the lowest?
In which case, I'm all for trying it.
You're going to play anything even remotely off meta.
Why not just continue with that? Why fall something else down?
Yeah, I think it's a fair comment. Again, I'd love to kind of have a sit down, chat with
them about, get that eat-force check-in, see why they're not doing it, how he feels about
it. I thought there was a roast chicken on this
desk. I think it's just tissues. I got really confused.
Roast chicken?
That's what a roast chicken do, really.
You know he's like uncooked chicken, you know what I mean?
Oh so that's a roast chicken?
No, look, look.
A chicken pre-roast.
Yeah, a pre-roast chicken.
I think it's just...
Patante.
Patante, thank you so much for the prime.
He's had 24 months.
As soon as we get a while, there's a lot to say.
Mmm.
You've had some...
I mean none, he hasn't.
actually, mouse issues.
Alright, I'm going to be honest, I don't know where you're going with this.
It was nowhere...
What you're referring to, right?
What like, you know where you're trying to move your mouse?
That's all. I stopped yesterday.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You could help him out.
What is this, a sprout?
Yeah, we've become Neanderthals with what we've been trying to do to play games.
And while this carries on, we're going to just, yeah, for a second, I guess.
Hopefully, it is picked soon.
But, um, yeah, no, we've created some incredibly janky setups.
Um, there's been, like, Steam decks with about 400 cable extensions out of it.
Like, our hotel room is looking pretty rough, honestly.
Yours looks a bit more respectable until we start to adjust heights and things.
You said there's nothing wrong with my setup.
I mean, now.
Never was.
Michael, I had a picture of this.
I refuse to accept.
I'm a little worried that we've seen people recline now well, they're not set up. Have they that's not good
Yeah, I don't appreciate that I suppose kind of added this all I just mean back and show things like normally used to be a sign of like
This is gonna take a while now. It's just like I'm trying as pass is the we we lean back any opportunity
You know what I mean now they do it it may not even be a long break, but in my head. I'm now seeing it like oh
This could be a long break or it could just be a short one. I don't know. I can't read it anymore
Alpha is probably gonna be number one for that in the air
He needs to stay really stationary in his chair. Dremel needs to stand up and just curse the entirety of Fnatic
I miss those days
I kinda do because you see him stand up nowadays and there's that little look of like
Oh, players meant to have a secondary mouse. Yeah, you meant to have a backup mouse
Oh, oh, don't you don't they don't always
You guys trying production? Are you trying to...
Oh, this might be a little bit longer, because we might have some features for you.
Alberto, who is our producer by the way, you might have noticed him in the lovely Kit Kat advert
being mentioned. Alberto, are we heading over there now or are we just chilling out for a second?
Oh, but it's going on.
I'll introduce you guys properly to Alberto at some point. He's a very special character.
He's got... we were discussing with him some interesting phrases at the start of the day.
Michael might treat you to that later, but while we wait for the game to resume, we are going to take a look at this delightful
fire feature on seven
Yeah, it's gonna be all of them. I want to put too much all into it
I just want to be the same player I was in tier two just put it here and transfer everything that I learned
You know into the zero on stage because I do believe that it's not much different
And I do think that I'm able to do it or prove that
Okay, but it's hard to set expectations because we're so early on but like obviously still when I win it's like all matches
I'd be one to get some good punches and I'd be one to win and get some good teams.
And even if I'm not completely the confident that I'm going to win this entire thing off kickoff,
I can assure you for split one, split two, we're going to be so, so good.
And I just really want to kind of get to that point.
We've got to go through the kickoff first.
Yeah, this is like...
We've had one of the most like the last few weeks I've ever played in my entire career.
I'm on this team and we can't always keep that kind of pace.
But if we do keep it up, we're going to be very, very good.
good so I do think that we're gonna be able to surprise people
there's been quite a character hasn't he since kind of coming over to the side of
things and maybe not on everyone's radar but you certainly should have heard about
it yeah absolutely I mean this is that again with a very
decorated tier two run as well yeah remember when tech was a little special
yeah it definitely got a lot more common
a ton of playtime on other duelists as well very versatile
yeah certainly been very versatile in terms of you know
Probably put up similar performances regardless and we're seeing it on the KO as well
We saw how aggressive he's happy to be set himself up for plays, but also to coordinate
Things like we saw on ramp a couple of rounds ago. Was that this round a couple of rounds?
seems like so long ago, but
Making play wise. I mean mate, if they forgot to charge your mask you're playing wise
Newcomers obviously inverted commas, but um, obviously new to this state here and probably this audience
in terms of EMEA so certainly winning to kind of a little slack in certain
results but also I'm so excited to see the development of seven throughout
this year. Yeah for sure and it's again hard to ignore him to the grid because
he has such a personality too right but he does have the gameplay to back it up
which is the part that kind of really catches your eye now we do see the stage
return to normal we are getting ready checks. That's a positive sign it's the
first hurdle we must get past the music's the next hurdle yeah they're moving in game a little bit
i'm seeing a little bit of movement in game the clock is still on four we're zooming in we're
zooming in still four the segment three we're good we are absolutely never gonna have an issue again
All eyes on our Rante here in mid.
And we do have an operator on Botox.
Now, we're going to try and find something.
I don't see there was no...
I wonder where he even placed it back.
Shoot.
He goes back from all there.
You're going to get punished these days for that.
Yeah, a little bit of a scrap on the extremity, but you should just take the win there. It should just be all of us
That's great. There's two here. I got info there. You tell us on
Come on, he's going for more
He's all over towards heaven
And sell the fake on this one one rotated out
Oh, it's a big double money
really five of his peak spike down
Oh my
Oh nice shot
Dude the way they ult a little weird on this cause it's like
no one can really capitalize off of it
Keep it, has to send it because he's a weird
Dude, off of snowballing well
Yeah, I mean money's really low and pacific they could try forces
Yeah, that was the best time.
Self-attack pause.
Aw, mate, come on.
Oh, actual time now?
Yeah, the techies.
I guess top of the end for all in their earlier series in the early games and look this team
Once they get that five I can't stop saying it. They're a very different creature
We could start paying a different amount of attention
Sure, I mean initially before that we are just looking for and again
This isn't even to be a dead horse. It's not the expectations are very low
But I'm still willing to be impressed by some horse it missing a molly. That's basically
that's a fair way to put it big girls only has only 60% off impact rate what are they saying it's
impact rate I feel like that's probably accurate I don't know what we're measuring impact rate by
yeah the clock stopped the clock has stopped that's a scary sentence by the way
what's going on recently I know I also saw I think it was is this around here mid I think it is
moving his mouth like left and right.
Help me, or I'll tell them what happened with the cookies.
I'll tell them what happened with the cookies.
you
can we, can we have a look?
Cause it looks like it might, Mike,
you've got better eyes than me.
Oh, they've hit, it's too high.
Too much head room, where's Leo?
Where's, where's Leo telling us to lower it down?
No, cause it looks like a different mouse color.
I swear his was just like a neutral,
normal, like, you know, black or something else.
I swear it's a different color.
I'm seeing green now.
I got mouse.
This is intense, Michael.
Would you like to hand it over to the desk?
For me.
Have you seen the loud rumors?
Yeah, people are speaking about it earlier.
Get making changes. It's not what I would have gone for
Yeah, it's very happy. I was happy
We still have some great information actually that you brought forward yeah, and you're like, oh shoot
We should have talked about that. Yeah, so that was the king we did that yet 100%
But you know what, you didn't like it, my nonchalant like top
People know me, people know me, you know, like I did
They do?
Yeah, but the point...
Wow
That was messed up
Really?
Right
You started today with a hide joke
Yeah, well, that's true
But the point that was being made was the fact that like Demo did actually sub in for a team
like we're Academy, 4Q, but at a Ninja
Well, both of them
Yeah, well, not for both of them, but playing with them, sorry
way back when in North East when I think it was like split one split split two I don't know people
want me to correct me but the point being is there is familiarity between these two and I mean
different times right here too different different competition but I'm wondering like
Gemma would have had that experience of playing under Cooper his calling style
his wacky ideas as you'd said before so I wonder if like maybe yeah that is a new
I feel hopeful or whatever
Or even just like sometimes
If you get to see behind the curtain a little bit you just feel like oh, I kind of
Yeah, I know like you humanize your opponent a little bit
So maybe that's that because the mirror is having like a good game so far. Yeah, so far so good
I mean we even requested a highlight package that we will play once the game's over
But uh in general also something that I found really interesting is when they were playing
the seven highlights he specifically mentioned that there was no difference
between that he doesn't think there will be a big difference between tier two and
tier one so we're still on the first map we're still on the first map maybe we're
not even halfway through the first half would you agree with that do you think
that maybe well we are but not positive under a spin I'm gonna keep the ego and
I've never played in tier 2, so I wouldn't doubt that one.
I wouldn't personally know.
Um, I think the...
I wish I would know, to be honest with you.
Like, I think that the reality is that if you're starting to play those really big teams, then that's going to be huge difference.
Like, right now...
Are you the top three agents right now?
If I had the best players on the roll, so my top three agents that...
But yeah, as soon as you're fighting against...
Chamber, Yoru, Wayland...
are going to be making it to Santiago, I think it does feel a lot different.
But it only works if you have like really good, well, Yoru's thing.
But like the only two, only what could be of like really good way lays off Chambers.
I wouldn't play them together obviously as well.
They jump for him specifically, I think they do bad.
I think it's like almost like a confidence thing where he knows that he can,
he's one of the players that can compete with that.
My chamber at the moment, that's U-Tour.
As soon as you TP away and you get everyone to use all their U-Tour, you're done.
And then with good setup, it's just so strong at the moment. It's so hard to actually push your fangirl.
That is the best way to lead at the moment. Timothina or Madher?
Probably Timothina, everyone I've seen.
This is the, the, remember before we, kind of,
I think Madder's maybe,
when we had the conversation,
I think Madder's putting a better mechanics,
but Demetino's better at decision making on the way, then.
Maybe the fact that Stop, that we're missing,
wasn't too much of a big miss.
I look towards Audaz, I look towards Favi,
and like, these players who can go and like, frag out,
and I've seen it time and time again,
you can get through, all the way through a section,
It might honestly be demon one the cry is pretty good
Baby Bay they would just be demon one
Oh, I'm still back demon one the other person they've always been good
Jemkin Jemkin is really good. I mean I just think like identity wise I'm both firepower
Otherwise, we're looking at a different path today, but so far so good.
Like when I was talking about the breach maybe making sense for them, I think it's bad about aggression.
Like they really like to take aggressive, but right now that's...
They're thrilled by this, yeah.
This is much it looks like.
So the breach kind of is that...
A rough game for a second reaction, and it's looking good so far.
Yeah, I mean so far no complaints really if I remember, I mean the score is five and one.
So very much off is in the lead.
However, we're no strangers to seeing teams being in the lead early on on the maps we've seen in the last few years, so believe it.
The problem is, it's just better agents at the moment, but if everyone starts jumping on board a chain, then Iso becomes really good.
Or if we get like a heavy scoped method, which we're kind of getting for some of the successful teams.
But yeah, there are some peripheral issues, so of course I can bring them into question.
Are you ready for Friday schedule?
Wait, is it Friday that's bad or Saturday that's bad?
Oh no, it's Friday that's bad, right?
Friday is not too bad this week though. Friday the full team fizzed. The chance of 24 maps.
Is it a Saturday? Yeah, it might be Saturday the full team. Yeah, maybe that's right.
thing about this tech pause the benefits that Pacifica gonna get is that momentum
that all had at the very beginning of the map is going to be completely two
squads. I think for me it's about the whole game of
sub train. I don't watch China man, I'm talking about Eulah. So to me some of
these ideas are just gonna miss and I think that this for me isn't. I think
the chaos that just for me yeah doesn't suit this matter I can see reasons
just directly why you'd want to pick it like you can use the knife to disrupt the viper especially
that's the day for the 14th as long mate it's the best it's re-imbustified everywhere
i think that you're gonna miss some of that with this composition
game plan wise it seems like pacific came out with this idea of controlling b main a lot
yeah uh and i think that was easy thank you so much on youtube chat from japan
I mean Mac dependent
I watched the China finals and now maybe if there's like a long time off before
Oh, the first masses have watched some of the finals to see what people like.
actually gonna be a fist fight between the two of you. I'll put my money on Mini. Mini doesn't even have the reach, I'll put my hand like that and he'd just be like swinging. I'm not sure people jump out. That's terrible.
I did hear that. You know, I would like to bring back the conversation to Valorant instead of... I looked at our last point with like a tactical kind of like, yeah, beaming control here game plan.
This is what happens when panpok is in the building, they just devolve all the things.
Isn't it crazy that we map all the things in this building?
I mean I read about China, but obviously it's on my envelope.
We map theory.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
I'm not a believer in curses, but...
What do you think is the best team comp?
I mean mate, it's map dependent.
There was a... someone did a graphic on who...
I like all the gentemates comps at the moment.
Probably the team that you can just look at and be like, yeah, I like this stuff.
And panpok weren't the most.
There was Mitch and Tom.
Wow.
Mitch and Tom had the most.
Oh, they're so happy. Yeah, they're buzzing how much they pay you to say that
The same amount of people paid the high pot dimension is age
She's resolved again
Honestly, I don't even want to know because instead I would like to hear your opinion on the KO
You know what right
I'll get back to the desk soon guys, alright?
Yes, stick around for an hour worth of a monologue on KO here specifically.
Sure, they have a different specs now.
And yeah, I need to refocus as well. It's all good, everything's good, everything's fine.
Big bye round for the Civic today.
I mean, what is this? They probably get turned around.
But it's mid, it's working out.
Jesus, aimed at.
I'm not just swinging today, man.
Coming out of the uh little tech break here taking the fight to pacific
We'll slow down now again cupid the one to anchor baby's only got a judge ninja
What's the tag yeah down to 78 now?
Oh
That one's through the door
I'm gonna let him in too easy
Oh then flash gets him probably the alpha coming out with I don't know what's going in
to this side but they're just there to go and take a fight. They did not appreciate the tech break.
No, no, they're gonna make up for that time. They're on a timer. Ninja and CNET. There's no
CNET today. It's all very individual and while CNET you'll be lucky to live at this point. I
think he's gonna at least get out of initial danger but I think off just have that W key pressed down.
Might just see that death ball that uh, maybe it was a little bit too- Yeah, I think he's dead there, right?
I'll put the back now for the rest of this map.
It gets a consolation here, but in further damage done, 52 HP.
Impressive decent bank to work with too, obviously they want to keep up.
Sitting pretty, but...
Someone handling now?
Yeah.
I think that's definitely from the offside of the stage.
Yes.
I think you've all seen it.
EBS.
Confirmation here.
Confirmation check.
Who was the handler?
Yeah.
I want to see if we can get confirmation on this one, but yeah, it's just blistering
patience, boys confidence, looking there and something that actually, we roll our mind
back to kind of ascension times, I mean if I start to roll for another 4-5g, was the
aggression, was the pace, was the...
There we go, thank you.
Appreciate you guys, there we are.
They do, they do.
Okay, pull some down to Niko, like we said, it's probably worth two.
probably save the oaths for next round we'll see
no Alva will
we've seen a single vice this season
yeah we've seen a couple of vices and had to use it on Corrodes
full scents use it on
briefs
there might be no one out there
that's it second member in form of Fabian here and there's some aggression on that
side of the map from Pacific but I'm still happy to let this default
read at the start of the round
yeah maybe try and feel like this is back in the game it's a bit weird I actually don't mind taking it a little bit longer but there is obviously that
time of then I start getting curious at seeing Ed gonna get noted off the prowler
Yeah, they just didn't seem to be walking out now.
They just walked out on B and A at the same time.
They've got great odds of their big, big bayrondes on.
A long road to even make this doable in the second half here with
How in control over but can happy just walk smokes at these very easy contact places look like
very very comfortable for them
And even so stern finding tons of value in this lurk
Yeah, so the example there's something we want to see from off right been a pretty simple on this
for the ult, and then we might all get hit by this knife, and they're ready for it.
I'm gonna go over towards spawn, but it definitely got hard.
There's so much going on.
It's a big smoke, now the fight can get to site.
Woah, look at the confidence in this guy.
Yeah, he just gave them such a head-up.
We'll certainly start to find his feet as well. Confidence? No, they're looking insanely confident.
Some of these solo situations to go forward and find value time and time again.
Now when they've got Pacific up against the ropes here, it's time to play into that heavily.
Ultimate's here for Pacific. No command and the pit, but you get to see the Superstar 7 really get off the starting blocks.
It's gonna wind up usually.
I was going to say man, no trope there would be everything, good push over towards B there
just get a fair amount of info
I think they know it's probably got a player we've seen a tax 2.0. They're a little similar where
they're like pretty good on set months. Maybe look at the little lost some others.
It's still an amount of water, I feel like he is incredible on the attack of this comp.
Take up win? Yeah, it was kinda close though.
It wasn't pretty.
Again I guess Valor Cristers and Razor E is trying to do a little more here just to get them some sort of win condition.
Again I guess the longer term discussion of that is then the agent will write what do we put in my field we're gonna rely on
NICE!
individuals.
Better.
NICE!
I'm so good at the game man!
Keeper me you gotta get more than two rounds in the clip and that.
I know.
You're gonna get more than two rounds
when they're clipping this stuff
Jesus
I'm in there running at them
It's hard going from champ Australian to kick off.
Synergy
For doing bits for them to those those very little you could do to actually hold from the site itself
So again, you can see the the as much as it is really tempo. It's really aggressive. It's well set up
It's it's got you know, it's covering on all of the aspects that
Civic instantly put down just these two rounds
There it is. We'll just really set up
Beautiful beautiful like second and this was again
I mean, you are watching the EMA like 8 to 12 teams right now.
I do kind of agree, I do communicate a lot of weekend, it's just in the moment.
A little? I think the good teams look like they could take on the good teams.
Pacific here Alarante 47HP got recharged and we'll find the kill 920
VBL and Tentamates can hold their own for sure
They'll just keep them to claw their way back into this first map
Potentially, we will find out how this goes as soon as
So do stick around, let's get this one done
How do you compare these to loud?
What I'm allowed is they don't do anything good
So it's just like 5 pretty decent players
your body knows a sense of at least we see some kind of good stuff in these
runs the gear ignite is one loud don't even need the initials to your zone
designed to win they could have class most of these players maybe
The lads this season's theory, maybe.
You would imagine not with some of their players, to be honest.
What's going wrong for San?
I mean mate they lost some big parts of their team. They lost one of their
biggest carries. That's a that's a big hit. They're also playing a lot of double
duelists and I'm not sure my duelist that needs to have bad scores and make
space is making enough space and is mentally prepared to have bad scores
for the year.
Cardengas, thanks so much for the Prime, thank you, thank you for that.
Anything about MIBR? A little bit of talking mission.
God, I mean
Thank you so much in the YouTube chat. I think papers will be shine. I have no idea
I think my brain's saying no, but I'm saying
It's such a quick fix to make it okay, but they look really awful
They're just
The common pistols they're gonna snowball again and tilt it and they're all round
All of that together is
A bit of a nightmare. It's an easy fix. You look at the old mini-notes he gave you about the ults, you implement all of that, you literally just do what Lev do for pistols, you defy his shafts. You change up your pistols, they're too readable.
I think that's from Neki yes it is.
I think I understand that I think so I was never gonna be held in that moment.
So search back and wait for a retake to get started.
Fight planted.
Still, I mean a little bit of chipmats down below.
Not sure engagement here potentially.
Fabian actually managed to escape with his life there.
I'm not!
I should come through. Keep it all for me.
I think it's there.
No flash.
Yeah, I was gonna say, Adi...
The only way off we're gonna win this was just like a fearless guy sending it through,
or just heavy parfait.
Deadly E-Tail.
9-3 certainly makes it doable, but a ton of work to do to kick off the second half.
And Q-Bats does really well to be a 1 in that situation, seeing what pressure is coming his way in second.
Well, they forced him to see Ned onto Jet Wraith, like he might be onto, because probably in the off-season it felt too risky.
And then maybe they didn't realise they could actually do it
And they were trying to keep up with the matter of
way lading like a top 3 agent at the moment
Yeah, it's kind of just about what ult do they want to snowball here really
in there already tried seeing that on gentlemen's
yeah they might have I don't really know
things as well he has been missing shots so it's not just like
comfort agent would fix him also comfort agent was
before the Gettner really
I think Yorra is about to age in the melee yeah
The year is the best agent in the game right now.
We're quite a bit.
Wele has the best ability in the game though.
The saturate is completely lost.
What about Cnet on chamber?
seen it on chamber could be really good.
I think you'd have to have good theory and maybe make sure you move it all.
Yeah, it feels as if it was handled a little early here actually.
Yeah, and going to be caught on that knife, so D'Amour needs this.
Ah, gets out of town, Allerante is down a fire up too.
There's a lot of firepower in this Pacific team.
That's something that we were waiting to see activate really, because we saw it from off.
Well, we certainly saw it last week with Allerante,
Yeah, I said I play with high expectations, but I'm really seen him
Clicking just yet. I think he was got what blow for blow with seven basically. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
They're both very much on the money. There's like, okay, who else is gonna join?
Three persons staco towards the same
but down to four
Do have three players on the right side of the map good timing on the smoke here
And they walk off through neck is in the right place good for our as well
of
the
of
the
I'm not enough disruption like you said as well already having three bodies in the right place
They can take a couple of risky trades ahead of this site here
Still
That was very far speaking a pace look important hands. They lose it after eco lose out on the first day
But maybe this was the concern that the city had in the place. I mean, there's one expecting. It's just any numbers here
I would imagine we'll get aggressive
out for them this time they're gonna have to be on red alert now
we're feeling like they have an opportunity for a baby
shadows traveling they actually mid as well Pacific now maybe for the audible
caveat gonna be called upon only have the card
alerante gets one but the trade
that should be everything the civic needs
they didn't look calm on the fade but when someone
Oh my god he's got incredible timing.
Alright, so no shots from him, what a play to walk down the middle in.
3v4 they don't consider it.
Yeah I mean he was pretty instant with it.
thing. No contingency. Somebody guarding me here to prevent Fabian from just taking absolute
liberty. That's 11 on the board now for old. The buy is still there for Pacific. Yes, but
not a lot left behind this.
Let's see how Demuro does, because we were seeing the Sena's kind of struggle from this
spot, getting away from it, getting caught up by it. Let's see if that continues here.
There is one people actually against Sina, funny enough, but that might take some time to develop a 1-3-1 stern.
There was a moment where he almost got caught by vents a couple rounds ago.
They're quiet so far.
So that's the flashdown!
Man, look at that.
Lovely little line-up, did they?
It's pretty fun.
They're lovely.
You don't get to rest on your walls against this team.
Xena just needs to go out for a fight, have a bit, have a go, remind him who you are.
You're one of the greats at one point.
And yeah, there is a flank coming there.
They're all just a little quicker.
And I'm saying now, it's found Necky, 85 HP, should be able to retrieve the spike here,
but still lots of question marks, plenty of time left to play with though.
she being them was basically got the budget out
ain't no shields in alerante now
thirty seconds left
start moving ads and she times it all alone
very happy to stop here just play audio
eighteen seconds of AC alerante is going to have to revere this hand
that paranoia
was just perfect as well at our end tape hoping so
I'm gonna dash down
but so far they've not
you're
oh
that'll do it
that'll do 12 to 5 Mike this one might be wrapped up
yeah I'll just be able to take control of this half one small
I'd love you to end on the beat
off point for some of these clearances
so so nice by now
the targeting's been there for them
Contrast is the Pacifica
Robin as diligent in terms of map control
awareness
You worried for Pacifica. I mean, yeah, I
think in having they've got a good abyss
It's a roaring school
Bye will still be there or there abouts to guardians
in the mix
Meanwhile, actually the real just one point away and probably rolling thunder
a huge sort of they want to continue playing aggressively and punish this default early on
Yeah
Say just looking down the the board of just scoreline everyone from off stand up today. Yeah, yeah
I've on it. It's not just been that one-man show
It's not just been your jewelers go kill or anything along his lines
Everyone can put in their weight and conversely actually
We've already talked about seven and inability to do as much as he has done previously.
Yeah.
Which again, some of these rounds just have not really had the opportunity.
You don't have to get a look in some of these.
Just not on the right side of the map.
If he comes in super heavy, have fun.
Yeah, he's seven.
But five to twelve.
Dude, after that pause, this would have been a pretty fast map.
Obviously abyss would be their map choice and it would be up next, but this will certainly sit with you
It's not done yet
One time at a round or so they say
Guys, it doesn't look great
I can't imagine I can't imagine that was what you talked about
Yeah, he's trying to end it.
How around you would love ramp control
Gonna get it
You kind of feel like it might just be a passive horn, but it wasn't Bellaranty reposition is rewarded
I'm gonna come down on top, make it a second, you know, it's still on this three kills this round, 33 HP
It's all freeze
And it's down a while, you never know, it's still on this map
It's 13 to 5, will be the school I'm like, this is as one-sided as you're gonna get
very impressed with Alphaganadae. Playing with house money is the overall headline here. Just
looking very confident in these sorts of situations. Pacific really struggling to get
anything going. Yeah they're gonna be happy with that one. We'll be back in just a sec.
All right uh Demurrer.
Guys congratulations. No you're good. Don't worry about it. I mean sure we can do one too.
Hey, sorry, so let's talk about the fact that Cairo mentioned earlier that you were on Liquid Academy against two of your opponents today in Injun, Cupert, do you feel like more comfortable in that sense going up against people you used to be on the team with or does it not change anything?
I mean to be honest for today, like I'm not even thinking about the enemy, like we're just playing our own game so yeah, I don't really think about them.
Fair enough, I mean you look absolutely locked in, what do you got to do to make sure that you keep this consistency going into the next map because it is their pick?
I mean, we have a really good game plan for next map to be honest and it's gonna be fun to be honest
Thank you so much for hyping it up. Good luck. I'm gonna let you go
See what they got to break and we'll be back with our second map of the matchup
Right now we've got a bisque coming up. Let me back a little bit
the
your body knows a sense of victory sees when mind
movement and gear ignite is one
step into your zone designed to win
Let's go!
You give me a fall night, all night You give me a fall night, all night
the identity you are trying to carve out for yourselves in DCT, I mean, we really like the agent,
we had some theory on it, we just really think that just properly, it's not easy to play
and that's why probably many teams don't run it, but for us it was really working,
also Seven is a really good keio, even though he didn't sign today, and in practices we were feeling comfortable
And yeah, like, there's nothing, there's nothing else like to say, really, like, we just like the aggression from seven, like, you guys can see it, like, red click flashes for me, like, he's one of the best in the game to do that.
And yeah, like, that's everything.
All right, thank you guys so much for the insight and welcome back everybody to VCC EMEA kickoff.
The KO, a hot topic of conversation on this desk, because Mimi, you were so happy to see that agent log, Mimi, you were like jumping up and down.
What I'm happy for is that Cairo is going to give us an hour of monologue of why he
does or doesn't like it.
So we've got to head Cairo.
We can Billy Buster later, right?
But I don't want to take up all the features of the Cairo chat.
One thing I will say though, right, is that Cypher seems to be very keen on using the
Cairo, and we can see that Seven is comfortable on it, but I'm going to add more for you,
right, because you're the theory man, right, you're a smart man, and then we're in it,
and then we're like, ah.
We've seen other initiator players actually move on to like playing Yoru as well in terms of like
we've seen Yampe player, we've seen Mimi player in game changes.
We've seen Seven player.
Yeah, so why are they so like...
Yeah, I mean I think that would be my point here.
In this series itself we're going to see Seven, if it goes to map three, play Yoru anyway.
Something he's kind of comfortable on.
I think it's a map where traditionally that kind of double-juris approach is the best.
to run even there you could have seen it on the jet you could have them on the euro like I think that
would make more sense going forward I think Alph did a really good job at identifying this as a
potential weak map for the Pacific even though they got 10 rounds last time I still think it was like
a bank KO we could just overrun this yeah and I think for our whole side of things it really did
play out and even like speaking earlier with dimmerware he was like yeah we're just focused in
our own games and low-key hyping up next map as well when it comes to the fight that that is a map
that Pacifica's face. I think Ulf is in a really good spot here Kyro. They look
confident, they have the game plan that they're sticking to and everything
seems to be falling in place. Yeah I really like what Ulf is doing and I
think this is probably the most similar we've seen to them playing in the way
that they did from a pension. Yeah it was two things. It was both in the game
just like death folding a little bit more, a lot more confidence. Yeah. Even when
they went 4v5 dying sometimes because the entry wasn't like getting picked apart
sometimes they were still then as a group collectively just just doing what they do
best and then you still have a lot of fun there having on stage yeah that is what I
saw as such was that just having a lot of fun just being very comfortable and cocky
so both things here looking very good for all yeah and as we were looking at
individual players as well that played really well audaz is someone that we've
already talked about a little bit earlier when there was like tech pause
after which you told us you're gonna do a monologue so how about you do this
model on. About Audas. This is the reason why I thought that he's going to be the guy to like
not necessarily the guy but one of the guys that could certainly give a positive result to Portal.
Definitely like a big clutch player back when I remember him through the first
Challenger EMEA tournament that I saw him in. And yeah, I think honestly like one of the top
prospects from the turkey region like since we've we've seen this new age of
turkey
and kind of gone in VCT EMEA
alright that was a yeah I agree
thanks well done see I'm not just a pretty face
I mean we can put a question mark on that one as well
you just picked up this shovel earlier today
yeah yeah yeah listen listen I'm usually up there I'm not usually down here
So I keep saying that yeah, I'm trying to get myself an excuse, please
Walking in though both of these teams have to be specifically the Pacific now because this is their map big
What's coming up next a best? That's where they want to go. Yeah, and the irony here talking about the KO looks really good on the best
Here I think it makes a little bit more sense than the sport a lot more sense than on
And a map where Pacific, you know, got people like sliggy out there saying that they think
that he thinks that this is like the best theory on the map right now in terms of what
Pacific are doing.
So high praise from a smart man there.
Pacific look very in control, but what I like to hear in that interview gave was that there
is a game plan coming off here.
So they may be identifying some of those tendencies from Pacific with that post-pant
comp I would say.
Yeah, and I think the only thing that I would see about that is if we were going to draw comparisons right now with
with Pacific and other teams, again, team Liquid Academy comes up because Cupid was at the helm for that,
they played almost, if not the exact same comp, right?
And Alph have beaten it in the Blender with a full five, maybe a bit different with the two substitutes,
but there's a real comparison to be made here, and maybe, I can't believe I'm going to say this,
to say this considering what I was seeing at the start of the series I can maybe see
myself favorite in Alpha for the campaign.
Hi Yinsu, thank you for the read dude.
And thank you, thank you for the 20 months as well.
What is specifically about their performance that has made you sway your opinion?
Because of course it's the basic Pacific's map pick.
Minu was lying about on the stream what's he been saying.
I mean yeah normally if it was like the first time Alpha played against it, they know what
coming up against they know how to how to play against that and one and as we've
already heard from them or they have a game plan so
I think they did last time against Team Liquid Academy different team etc but listen there's
there's some real some real things to be taken away from Matthew. Yeah we don't have to really
ponder any longer because we have the agents like ready I mean. Who are you smart? Nothing mini.
and broadcasts, then we can all be done. We didn't up the sex frame.
Um, oh god, Sena is going to be pressing tab and seeing someone play as Jet.
just sending it and starting on that attack side maybe this is what the game
fans about it's just let's just go kill these these execs are gonna be so strong
they got double dive here they got the recon coming in and the stun so we have
a spam B comp against a spam A comp I think
This week we get double smokes, you can create a bit of pressure over towards mid with double
smoke, knife, can drown deep as well.
Both teams kinda, both teams kinda, not the best at taking mid so.
It's gonna be a big test on our defence here, the attack cycle is all shooting strong.
It is gonna be a test to Pacific whether or not they can stay in the competition because
this is do or die loses game and you are done until stage one with it and you can push it to
the third map can they do it is the question because ove's got their number for any tenants are
sending map with our casters best fairy uh i've been the best veto fairy yeah thank you very much
no do you agree with the conceptual kind of work of pacific on this map being one of the strongest
i think that's kind of what was being alluded to at least sliggie's mentality that mini would be
Nice about very strange. I mean very strange. Yes, I do. I think we've probably been clouded a little bit by
Individual performances from Pacific is that's a good way to the BBBL and they drop versus giant
He does wait to get rid of them
Yes, I think the series there. I think maybe it's just clouded a little bit by particularly previously
I mean the performance of alerante and seven which something we talked about yeah, the sheriff series for me
All those rounds just kind of lived and died by we got Pacific on that defense off on the tank
And this is a good test right we've got all from the attacking side who've been hyper aggressive very old in oh my god
See Ned's having a go and he's back out of there. It's ninja to draw first blood on neckie
So they do mashed hold side here seven
Hey
Yeah, that's a really really rough one
To the limit.
Wait, but everyone doesn't know about...
...that it's such a weird round, bro.
It's such a weird round. I feel like everyone lost track of everyone.
I think that's wrong for what.
Yeah, well, how easy to keep this one.
Flash over the top to make it look like you're taking it and make sound on the road, to make
It can look like you rotate and actually about to be free.
It's going to be harder to accomplish later, yeah, hold on and team it, team it.
Oh.
There's no center of the spot here.
Bavian trading out.
It's just two left now for Pacific.
Ninja in seven.
Oh.
My fans are still quiet.
just
Why am I so glad mate? She's the one that's been to Karsten
Oh, darn!
Yeah, it's a weird way to play it.
Please, my glorious Charles, coming to come back to me.
Return to glory!
Yeah, hey, saying it, but we're just, we're seeing so many more examples.
Well, I'll bet that.
Yeah, hold on. Yeah, it's all from attack.
Hold on, we'll have to save those for maybe post round, because they are inside 130.
You've all seen some of these, been spotted.
Look at this, though!
Went a little too far, gonna do something to protect the stands.
They're still dropping some bodies, but...
down a they were helping on that again up middle though his orders last man alive
wanna make some moves i can't catch anybody in rotation here we're gonna see kupa
positioned over behind a side oh boy oh
kupa well i'll find it first on the board here consider it and uh certainly the stronger
aspect of abyss so far has been locking down a site
so he's talking about abalante and seven
putting work in
nice oh man imagine got this extra
yeah i've already seen the indication here that
we just need to side by side of the howl and then cupid's
yeah it's not bad
You know, maybe it's bigger, the more rounds you get.
Take 4.
Mickey.
In another position, she fell previously, Fabian.
Right up on this smoke already, I'd say.
Cupid's hacked up.
Hey, there is no fear in this team.
Nah, yeah, they really do look at him.
They're so confident.
He's not meant to be doing this much.
This was one man.
One man and maybe a dot.
That's all the fake as well.
On the back of just Fabian's
And I was gonna say no way he snaps on that seen it does shut him down
Plot will come through here Pacific will be left in recovery mode here
3v4 retake
See well neck he just does not want to die
First contact I think we'd be more does at this point if they do actually try and split towards site for
I mean his shoulder at this he can buy a lot of time
Next body and they're just not getting together on this. It's so individual can't quite scale in
By the way
And walking in and just destroying
This attention which is very kind of flexing on the different ages. He just looks so comfortable
Whatever you need him to do
the
one
of the
Yeah, I'm gonna have to call the time on they are just running
nearby i don't think so so i think it should be
he's waiting for a smoke he's made some tp plays today
yeah yeah well one enemy remaining
here we go let's smoke
i'm out maybe sorry i was coming
three left standing snowball already starting to develop four oaf just one point away from a
full house here so happy we get to see it like I don't care if we go three and
off lose at this point now I hope they don't for their sake obviously I'm not
really rooting for either side but I'm just so glad we've seen with the way
this is panned out already we've got to leave now heavier towards all just
closing this out he's just starting to bring the whole time
we're finally getting to see this team that impressed us that kind of gave us like cool we've got a really aggressive explosive team coming up into EMEA
we're starting to see that here
I should maybe it be the action
Reaction
Do what we can see how it goes, but begin forth the knife rotations instantaneous
Well
I think we're going to be forced off here by Fabian's ultima as well
The site going to be on a platter
Plenty of tools to invest here, I mean
I can still just one off the hunter's fury
Yeah, they saved the pre-jump
I mean, surely this is a good retainment.
Forty-grade combo.
It's a lovely combo.
Oh, mate!
Don't look at him!
Close out the round. Oh, they got the server on him. Honestly, if he gets that kill, maybe
Yeah
Oh, he missed. Can't repeat that.
We're going for a big jump.
Oh boy, jumped into it.
is just unstoppable this guy is everywhere
did you try to hold back this way to drill and I was running at him
he says strata ono
it's not going to happen Cooper it's still in middle
with the drone yeah a little bit of a worry
well I just didn't see that I looked at the shot I was like trying to walk out if he's trying to
fast. They should have a really good combat against bastards. Look at all they eat them.
Maybe a time-lapse to maybe get on the same page of how to deal with these super pace
I was gonna say you you probably get one or two of them before you have to adapt the wood surprise
Me at all to see you after another example
This can spy on our control very quickly
What is that being there that's not running well, I mean I know set what was seven a HP or something. Yeah
Yeah, just to catch that and as we said alluded to
No, they got so much
They have a knife to get him through as well back in a position to find us
We see about Fabian obviously a talking point already so far in this up with the switch over here to way late
Put it up impressive numbers and impressive rounds already
Yeah, I love a player that can kind of be like the breach of the previous and then you go straight in here
And he's tip of the spear for old. Yeah, he seems quite a selfless player in the way he's approaching this as you said
You can be a role filler at times, but seeing they're kind of like
Impact he can have top of the board favorite team to watch out of all the regions
Honestly might be long-shamed at the moment
Fun to run
versatile
And again, I think he's obviously
One of the more impressive, but certainly across this year once he found me and really find this feet and create an identity for himself
Yeah, I mean, you feel like he's gonna be a dream player to have in a team as well, right?
You can cut you get a lot of options to play with him. What a stark contrast to the other side
We've seen seen it. Yeah, it's a good one
It can be quite stringent in that approach
We say you want Sina to be on breach like Famion
Also after this do they know this chill out? Kind of looks like they're gonna chill out
I'll take anything at this point, mate
They're trying to get all the info on the science, all and all, until they think that
the drone's scanning this, maybe.
Yeah, fast round where they're trying to perfectly control it towards the middle.
Incredible timing on that.
It's pretty good for Molf, right?
They know that they're going to be so focused on holding it towards the side to actually
the control
all
it's my guy alive how is he alive
he is alive he has the
the boy who lived
uh...
i don't get it and then now a player up to the good
it's all good boys
i was just saying i didn't want to see pacific concede
alright is this just done?
this bill's done
yes it's a very proactive play outside b but
can't pin down the moot
now in a position where it's 5v3
oh that defines another one seven
eventually trading out but it's hit two more now
they're already calling it on this
yeah have to
how do they not close down
i mean how do they not get a kill between them
how he's got out of that one
I feel like that first smoke, how is he not getting spammed?
There's two of them on the end.
There's the upchaft as well.
Yes!
I think they've even played into Smurfs for a while.
I'm so confused.
Probably not.
Added in my pickings.
And that's after time out and everything.
You're kind of hoping things start going a little bit better, but...
I think some of the images team is looking better than I thought.
The Fabian was able to not get that early forward attempt lost, for the space take and the manipulation
on the map there.
And Pacific seemed very passive in this.
They're not having that same sort of say on what's going on.
Yeah, they gave up map control and they did fight an extremity, but they then looked scared to commit to it
But you know somewhere in between you caught someone that's what you wanted just quickly the issue being obviously talking about
I don't want to see Pacific start considering all this space now
They have the issue of the economy the finance is just gonna be a little off kilter here
It goes down really yeah, I mean it's a little bit of a cool thing on both sides of the coin
Yeah, I guess they didn't commit as much stuff on it
I couldn't hack it. I'm hearing that off the round.
This might be worse than hearing Yampi bark from opposite side of the stage.
Oh god.
Right, some chat. Get a pole going.
Better get from off as well, create pressure over towards middle and now.
They can just go back to their site.
They only show one, so they don't want to see the draw any single over towards B1, good team much.
facing round by round because that versatility is there for OLF. No big
ults to bank on this time for the OLF boys but on the other side three to work
with so some good potential there.
No probe sent out this time but you're conceding the choke point at least here
and I'm saying
I'm trying to find the way once more. Nobody contesting this here.
Double walkthrough mid though, Necky's, I have his head on the swivel, I mean he already has in this map already, been isolated so it should be
How much does this guy get?
He's in, he's in, no good spot, he doesn't get both though right?
Getting bullied!
Oh my god, they're getting so wrecked probably so...
No they're not, they're head's on innit?
heads on, innit?
Five rounds to the good, oh, Oof.
Again, another one that, the knock on the fat, like I said before, they're not going
to have the benefit of Ultimates and the finances being in line, because two saved in the previous
now we're going to have a broken purchase to come back into this, and Oof just starting
to run away with this map.
Yeah, and they kind of just owned them in that timeout as well, though.
Like, they said the game plan was good, the game plan's been good.
hits all the time they call the timeout one round where they show the condo
middle then just back to science and ever since they did that one round on
middle Pacific have had this three hair
I threw it all straight into a diddle.
It can't be doing that, oh gosh.
Oh, he got a...
Yeah, he wasn't expecting that one.
I'm in that sprightful play there, with the new weapon.
So not the 30 year old trendsetter.
That's it.
DV3's manageable as weapons to be picked up to.
I mean, you ask us any of them, both.
So that flies out.
I just didn't know where the second went,
but it's just going to be our anti.
This is the bandit clip mate, he's already got rid of it.
Oh he did dink him though.
There's a smoke, are they going to just walk it?
Of course they are.
I mean, it's not a bad shout. It's not a bad shout.
They can depend on the utility to do the work on the side.
Oh, other shot! That's Stern gone! 2v2 now! 2v1 maybe some opportunities are on set!
This guy's an aimer, but this is not a fun postcard!
Needs the shot! Oh, it's climbing! It doesn't make a blind bit of difference!
Yeah, there's nothing you could do there! It's a window for looking!
Up and down, my Gavimals Pacific kept on two!
Yeah, I feel like this ult's been here the whole time.
Yeah, he's having a look. Of course he'll have a look.
He'll have a drone.
Oh my god.
Jesus man.
Look how easy it looks for them.
And the Rante might be into the stacks here.
No ult.
God.
Yeah.
Surely just send, uh, I need to send Sino then to saturate someone so you can all win.
God.
I blistered a face on display here, from old.
Again, something we were maybe alluding to in map 1-7 just hasn't...
We all smashed it the way by the last one.
That is true.
I've had to lose my coach, it's pretty big but it's safe because we're on.
But it's such a lovely
Between him and I ran say that they were having bailout rounds for Pacific and seen even an opportunity to
Gang into recovery mode in some of these the rounds are just over necky now
Hopefully in this one up. Second will fall, seen it.
Find the first.
Recalls back to the waiting arms of Ordas.
I don't feel any.
Ninja and Allerante.
Great.
Yup.
Bike planted.
2v3.
And you still got a bit of kit, but it's an individual effort for Allerante and his world wonders.
Finally Ninja's here now. Up towards Heaven, but Allerante's the one on the site doing the work.
work Fabian has to apply the bounds in 30 HP though he's down insanely low come to it ninja
gonna keep them i don't want to say alive my i'm not sure i'm not sure any of them are believing
themselves a nine three one small they're a p of map one but old looking to stamp their
authority on this series lauren there's a fast half there 20 minutes a whole new team here today
Maybe with the life of the lion they come out swinging and so far in number three they have
Tough week for the team. Hey
There's your coach and director
I think I said it was 80-20% as well, I'm pretty sure.
What happened to the off-coach? No, the Pacific coach.
You've been missing on the Preds this year? I mean, it's kickoff, man. We haven't seen much of the teams.
It always happens in kickoff. How are you meant to gauge anything when you don't know map pool?
All the teams look like.
I know I'm still doing better than Shia though, because that guy is not getting anything right at all.
So I've always got that.
And he's predicting America's, and America's is the easy one right now.
I certainly didn't expect this scoreline in this series if I want to spotlight it, and
maybe because I've been in the actual poll with your standing situation was just not
lining up.
I thought we saw upsides of Pacific early on.
Didn't expect 9-3 on this.
No, I think as well, just come back to our Pacific, like I said, if they can kind of get
everything aligned, we've seen the potential.
I think even these teams have an after-improvement.
I mean, these guys will be decent once they get there.
I mean, although they don't look decent now, to be honest.
But they'll be a lot better once they get their actual players in.
Stage one.
Pacific?
Yeah, they need a bit of time, man.
They probably need to get a coach considering they lost one.
Or at least an assistant coach to help.
I do the mum they also to do like mentally out of it fully
I think they need to help try and get Cnet into a position that makes sense
the timing on this is gonna be everything there's not been a
the recoil is back in oh he's still got one do they have any idea
oh that keep us just bottoming yeah yeah absolutely good see you know if you get to live it would be
very surprising he's trying he's vanishing he always gets out of these situations
he's alive he's alive he's he's he gets a kill he did that for you yep hope you know that
I think Vitality will improve once they get Sionara for sure.
Especially as they're messing up their roles to make their stand in comfy at the moment.
Oh, mate. Jesus.
that's all posted now
chance to get themselves on the board in the second half
not on this
than the other
which steps into the last cast
this round really was a
fine fine margin
the share of the so is the other good win rate
i do it doesn't
it's a little weird seeing the sheriff's
okay what
is within the sheriff's dominate uh...
but if you believe
we actually need to leave so long that he got the whole
with what happened anyway but
camera and thanks a lot of the prime and appreciate that thank you thank you
certainly
was again the same
like double sheriff triple sheriff and pistol rounds but when it's crazy to see this many teams
avoid sheriffs so on like no one looked at last year second string to the bowers orders looking
towards that smoke and his colleagues body dropped in the form of seven see that doing well however
orders is holding the line looking for demore if he got there just a second earlier he might try to
That's why you're a draw man, not gonna have a ninja doing nice, he's wrapped that up in the version
Who you right, see Ned, getting free
Still life-less
Between MIBR and BBR right now, I think it's gonna be better in Santiago
So my neck is just cold
That's what people in positions were
Comes a lot different playing in
It's forced to blow
Playing in like a big crowd on big stage also
You're shocked, up up them up again
Now they're playing double jawless
I dunno, they just, they look good
down a little smack talk as well time out
from up again
you could say what did you call the mid thing after the riddle
the double riddle
and then the single riddle
Yet to see a quiddle that's the one I'm waiting you're the most excited for
You could have it here
That's good
It's gonna happen, but then you know
It's chance
Being the chance is specific have made one here really and I feel like we haven't seen off get into the mix of things yet
It's been kind of
Dictated to them so far by Pacifica just good, right? It's a good buffer
three thoughts on the random changes?
I mean, I start the month.
You gotta think of ranked.
Yep.
I see what you're doing there.
Absolutely.
It should be that slogan.
Six.
One time at a round.
Yep.
Put that on the jerseys.
Just sevens jerseys actually.
I kinda love that.
At the end?
At the...
Get the merch coming.
What?
Why did he throw it into the corner? If you have good tech on this, you can check it all.
Or if you do it here all, so you can check it all.
It's so weird.
So now they don't check top mid and it didn't really get too much.
escape with a standard 36 HP nearly finding the first blood they ever over
quickly retreat back towards eight Pacific so cautious approach yet this
is the sort of round where you expect off to try and set something in motion
absolutely sniff it out again it'll be stern called upon in this situation
I'm still not sure how much they've cleared or how much they've got back, that's a shot.
Team had seen in the cross now.
Oh my.
Stop, bro.
What the hell?
How's it done?
It's taken 30 seconds left.
Well, now it's done.
Yeah, it's pretty doable.
Also, upgrades available.
And bodies to the good.
We know that says a bucky.
Yeah, there's two shields.
There's a lot of stuff.
There's just one, and Necky has another, so you can get them on players with light shields.
It's the timing on Stern's utile.
0-1 star for the case of playing off site as well.
Down so they can pick up.
Here we go.
Gonna have to wait to use this though.
Oh, jazz.
Mine set things up to forcing them away from site itself.
They're all sitting pretty close by.
If this gets noted,
and now the numbers start to become an issue,
do you have any handle?
And this side goes wrong,
and the seven can step up to the feet.
Stunning!
Nice shot.
Nice shot, man.
That was really nice from him, one before.
Am I getting believing?
They basically just saved him.
His first, second, third was really impressive.
There he is.
can that be something to spur on Pacific here to take us to breeze
a map three so a long way to go just yet
ooh the spacing seven you can see that confidence is still there and hordes as i did you forget about
it you took down your first man forward you thought he'd fallen away absolutely not confidence
is in line then you all sat back a bit deeper see the barrel of ninja should be called out but
But all that is done is work three kills made that site hard work to take leaving Ninja and a la rante with all to do
Very isolation from Ninja as well on the back of the mist off shot. There's still plenty of bodies left
That's it not doing as much damage as I expected
Just around the corner a little but he's denied the park got them nice and close
Utility for this Fabian still got a touch to play with stern
And how long for that stung to fully come back on but in we go
Gonna spot our Alhante here and then just don't take my demure. That's down to 2v2. They've made this one again
Can they do this again?
No way! 1v4 into a 2v4
Force him down to another eco. They're staying alive
Tied game here on map 2
Ultimus started to come online as well for Pacific here
Definitely
That's nice.
There's only the first time Ninja Stardom certainly pull ahead now.
Let's go!
I've not seen Cena in that anime.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen Cena in a kid like that.
He's huge for them.
Sheriffs are out.
Tribbles out.
And he got close last time.
Surely not again.
No, come on. Pop to you.
There'll be no secrets about this on the way in from Pacific.
Nice shot though.
A bit of a reminder isn't it?
Don't forget about the flank here. I've been told this for a second. He might know about Ninja.
What does Ninja know about him?
He certainly doesn't know about the kill.
Oh that's a... still good.
Now the map is going to be cornered in here. They can try and push you together.
Here he goes again.
This HP is too low here, surely.
it again now one v2 flash in the block in they're getting a little nervous here
seven whoa it's some lucky man trying to catch him as he was moving
yeah it's getting close man
The money's gonna be low after this.
1-9 loss bonus on this. They ain't by next.
I'll take these two to be honest.
There's plenty of tools at the disposal on the other side.
Oh, the combine.
We've got two of the combine.
Oh, this guy is...
Not pretty good.
He waited for the ult before he ducked as well.
Oh, the seat is nice.
Oh, what the hell?
Oh, that looks nowhere near him.
Oh, another one before.
Serving his teammate up.
I thought, I do thought, I thought Ordaz was there.
I got baited but I swore it wasn't just one.
He just let them in to punish the second and third player.
Beautiful stuff from him.
And I'm saying now left in the clutch.
That's the ultimate, he's trying to make it go with this.
Does he get a chance?
Kind of smart, make him look like he's playing on site.
He's gonna hit the one shot.
Yeah, but it's a dash on that.
Jesus, these rounds.
Yeah, hard for Pacific here, the money's low. Two people can't really buy what the good...
Dude, that last kill is.
Yeah, it is.
Seven and it ultimately is their downfall
They should be done now mad. Yeah, this is I mean this is a nice time out
Because I kind of agree if they if they go over there now, but yeah
Didn't expect to be enjoying this series so much. It's really come alive here
And it is a matter here either. Yeah, exactly right matter of life and death between these two as well
the opportunity to keep going to stay alive here and kick off and they're
giving us a great game I was worried we were gonna see some really messy work
off of absolutely elevated from where we saw them yeah they do that better each
time
they've got some grit behind them as well some real spark to bring them back alive but
that's why he's closing in now
he's old yeah I wasn't great but I mean the brimhole wasn't bad
I mean seven the Bremel idea was pretty good to be honest
The Bremel in the defensive way they all did this one wasn't great
I'm going to take a bit of space over towards B and taking a lot more space on the A side.
He didn't see him.
Okay, now he's around.
What?
God.
I mean, what a shot from Cuba.
I thought he was dead.
I thought he was done for.
Luckily enough, still breathing.
You might feel too much pressure, but enough.
easy with Bastion. Oh boy, I mean, how much does he get from this? They're flying again.
Oh, not bad.
So he has to get involved, he's sitting so deep, Necky.
Try and go for this one.
Oh my god, he's got a new one!
Woah!
Where have the shots gone?
How have you done that?
Like six bullets.
Wait, did he think it was the end of the game?
He took his head set off.
He's been passing some of these early rounds.
The livers are clutching it.
To put home on map and series point here.
Great trade for Valorant to hit the bladestorm.
Again, they just can't stabilize.
Find a recovery.
to put on map and series point here great trade from alamance to hit the bladestorm
again they just can't stabilize find a recovery
oh that's a lot of shots
okay four goes to the two now whatever can be bought will be bought this is time to try and dig deep
Whatever you can if you want to stay alive Fabian didn't get I think early checked on this before so you might have a real chance
Yeah, he does from support. He can get away. Oh
Well
Fight on this
Well, see that the watch right back Fabian still standing on site though the tempo and paste still sitting way better with off
the 4v2
She net has to come up with the good super. They're circling each other
What the hell is that dude?
That's outrageous!
up with the goods here, but they're circling each other.
Sinead can't quite get to Favion in time, and it might be all she wrote for Pacific
it.
Sinead the last one standing.
Need to get close to a miracle on this.
And it's just being hard, as you can hear, as you can see, from Sinead.
Oh really, they got two now.
Dude, Alph, Alph looked good though.
They said they had a good game plan for this, they really did, and attack, they owned it
so bad.
This is a very, very impressive old Fuji, and I said it just feels like it would be one of all the stops, right?
Playing with house money, sometimes I've said a couple of times, and I think this is so fantastic.
I still rate this roster. I mean, the ceiling is still there.
I haven't seen the final roll pieces. Something's still not clicking first.
Yeah, you're bang on with that, right? Is that all that potential is there if everything comes through at the same time in the right way?
way you'll see an incredible team so I want to see what they look like in the future now I think
that's all for limbs yeah well speaking of actually this outcome now makes the next series even
more interesting because going into liquid interesting see what we're concerned about
old versus liquid and I would have been pacific versus liquid you're right I think oh for a much
harder team now for liquid to handle god yeah I mean and it wouldn't be the first time the liquid
We're also supposed to do this against Liquid?
I mean, also WOULD be looking at us.
I'll say that now.
I wouldn't imagine them not picking.
And then, but obviously here Pacific taking the stage just to pit us farewell.
I'm still waiting for the rest of the year.
Certainly here we've seen some highlights from me.
Seven and Alarante certainly wants to keep your eye on the region.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, even the calling is off from Kupa I want to add in there.
I know it's not always landing, but maybe once everything gets aligned
and they're all kind of on the same page, they can be quite interesting team to watch.
And I'm really looking to see that slot into effect.
What is that development process like with this team?
Obviously kickoff is brutal.
It always has been, it's grown very hard for these teams to get stability quick.
Oh, this even here with...
Chat, I'm going to head off early.
Is there anyone watching that's sticking around for the interview?
Not many opportunities when, you know, a map goes wrong here and there.
You're basically set into a position where you have to recover.
But yeah, certainly for me, there's enough positives here for me to not wipe them off.
Gaya?
No, I'm with you.
I think it's kind of just under static implications for a plate.
And they weren't able to get around that.
No one able individually to bail out today, for example.
so again is what it is however a drink for you guys at home will be handy over to the post plan with the
mirror and orders standing by
