you
I think as well something that the coaches had mentioned in their coach confession last week, I believe it was was showing that he's not just like you know great on the scope weapon right operator and things like this is actually
operator and things like this.
He's actually a professional rifleer and they want to be able to do that.
I say that to us for sure.
Let's go off my highlights, but yeah, I think it's nice that the porches recognize that
they don't want to just lean on comeback being solely on the scope of the weapon.
Yeah, I think to your point, they sort of made certain changes on the climb where
they bring in a second initiator and just have a little bit more setup for someone like
him.
Oh, okay.
And there you go.
There is the initiator player supporting their dualists of comeback.
Respect.
One of the best in the world also got lost, I guess lucky enough to watch him when we played table tennis while we were there.
So that's their warm up. So hopefully they've done the same today because they dominated when they did.
That's the key.
Synergy. Synergy. Synergy.
I was in YouTube.
Liquid was also on the up. I don't know if I want to say liquid was on the up, I want to say...
I can't believe I demanded just one best this week to be here at NBC.
He got the... Unfortunately he does find himself a medium in the best this week bracket,
When having a conversation with him last week, Billy, he did mention it.
I don't like the pressure that much.
Yeah, but let's not forget, he is the only rookie that's playing on the stage today.
So I think for him, this is going to be a really step-up moment to see how he does deal with that pressure,
especially with this being elimination on the line.
They're obviously wanting to make that very first global event.
And I think Wayne has had like a really great showing throughout so far.
New Jersey? The New Jersey's nice, man.
The New Jersey's nice.
So we're playing the Astra and now they've moved over to the Omen.
It might be one of my favourites.
Yeah, as they say when it rains it falls like my favorite when he's got off to the start
sort of take over games and
Hoping we get to see a little bit more stuff because there were a lot of players in the conversation
He was one that kind of came out of the blue
He's been getting better and better if you can keep up that trajectory and they have less or spent on him
You can start seeing plays like that start to get back to the level in every as well
It goes back to the consistency that you mentioned earlier, where you said if I saw Tees and an individual player showing up more consistently every single week
Rather than a one-off, you would be more consistent
Trevor, that's true man. You're going down, you boy
I have a lot more leeway with someone like Wayne because he is so young, new to the region, not even just new to this team
And he didn't even come in in the first week, he didn't have that warm-up week where maybe you played against like an acrobaton
None of that so he was thrown in at the deep end and now he's starting to get to the point where yeah
You see the best of him, but I said this is elimination now my best prepared for tomorrow kind of it might go wrong today
Tomorrow should be fine. I think it's Saturday Saturday's the one like one day of madness is fine
You know all over the place for them back to back
It's gonna be nice and so yeah, I think when being that consistent performer is great for them
Yeah, well six teams remain here, and we need to kick off EMEA with Fendi, three spots up for grabs from Masters Santiago
And today, either Heretics or Liquid will only get one step closer
Uh, Tribal Kings are the prime as well, thank you the two moms dude, thank you, thank you for doing that
Am I not going out on Valentine's? Valentine's for me is the 16th
Let's try and that's what I'm trying to persuade my girlfriend as well.
I think that's the official date these days, isn't it?
Jeff, thank you so much for the gift, you'd be thank, thank you for that.
It's going to be rough until the end of Sunday, mate, if you want to.
Worst case situation, if we have to sleep, I'll just give many to do a stream for me.
Yeah, not a chance on my Lenny loose
Bad enough have a mini do
Dominic soulcast hello me how we done good to see you bro
That's things done. Yeah I can check it off to stream them.
Dude they definitely should have done the bravers against each other surely.
They missed a trick here.
So if you win the skirmish you win. Oh you lose the game. That's why they're sending the line on fanatic, right?
Minibu asked me what I'm doing. Damn, he just straight up didn't do it.
I expected the winners in it.
Maybe.
And for one, Paradis has been warming up for these scourges
and getting the prize in.
I was going to say me.
OK, we're looking at heretics, so they actually
go for that second winner.
And it's going to come second.
OK, is that because they both ban similar maps?
We'll have Abyss, Bind, and Breeze.
Dude, imagine banning Pearl after what you saw.
I think that's crazy, but here we are.
I think just to speak about the bans quickly,
Team Liquid's taken heritage.
Liquid pick Abyss.
Please tell me they changed their comp man, their comp was so rough
Does she know? Yeah, for sure
Dr. Sam, Dr. Sam Love, thank you so much Dr. Sam, I appreciate that, check it out if anyone got gifted
These are Dr. Sam Love, say thank you as well
What are you doing then, man? Thank you so much for the time
Thank you, thank you for doing that bro, I appreciate you
credit the liquid very soon all of last year I think they were very good at
coming in and countering opponents so the problem I have is you're
locked up as well thank you so much I appreciate the prime also I'm not
full cabbage as well with the prime thank you so much thank you thank you I
also am a little bit scared because even though it's a very bad map for
heretics it is now the sound is too high come back was playing jet and I
feel like with the sort of right so far I'm not even moving I don't want to
playing first going in a bit cold on jet yeah it does feel a bit weird with the
prime thank you so much man appreciate that also dude thank you thank you and
chief Omi as well thank you so much thank you thank you open to watch fine
together for this one I did I'm just gonna solo this robot I haven't done a
watch party of anyone this year maybe when it's into the stages and it's
like a little boringer, I guess?
At a word?
Big boy, we're different for the Stage 1 stuff, when it's less like...
You can chill out more.
They're stakes.
Yeah, it's essentially what I said, right?
I thought maybe they'd go for the corrodes just because liquid have been a little bit worse for where on that map
I also thought by my end up as the third map
I didn't think we'd have breeze go all the way through but I guess just again the confident victory
They had versus Navi even though it was a Navi that they actually dumpstered that was enough to go off against one of the strongest
Maps so I would say like if you're coming in with a surprise of this pick you go into bind
Which I actually think could end up pretty level and then breeze
I think the liquid have got about as good a veto as they could hope for but I'm still not confident in any of the three maps
Scary situation to be in if you are a liquid that you're saying that when it comes in a map it does specifically for liquid
It's a possible for heretics that in abyss for them also didn't look good against KC at all
It's literally the same score line for both of these teams
Are we worried by any chance that they might be or not be expensive anything new from liquid?
Do you think liquid or heretics won the veto?
I mean, I think, I don't know man, the veto is insanely questionable, I guess the liquids changed their abyss.
If we go for what we've seen, heretics won, but imagine they changed their, imagine they changed their...
Like there are no strangers to changing compositions throughout an event, especially something as you know
I'm surprised how it takes less breeze through heretics is breezes for an S. He's the same since it's liquid specimen
It's a bit weird from heretics to let
It's a questionable veto from both sides, I feel like but liquid to make more sense
They have the different companies
He loves to hate it on breach. It's not really been working out and they got batted on their attack side
Which is where you kind of expect the setup to actually tell me you didn't spill your drink already
I think that in this first map liquid have to have the edge
But going in if they are gonna change things and having a load of new stuff and trying to run it versus a fairly
simplistic comp one that is more based off
Feeling and sort of the mid-round calling with that you've got those comfort agents for the side of heretics
I don't know if that's necessarily a brilliant idea, but I do understand when you look at the map where you go
Okay, let's make them uncomfortable to see if we can beat them that way
Yeah, also something from liquid specifically when it comes to them not changing anything
We've heard Lohan mentioned a couple times where it's like we found our identity
You want to stick to what we're comfortable with we want to build on that a little bit further
So maybe liquid doesn't necessarily feel the need to make any changes even though they find themselves in this position
Hey, let's do to 30
I will be very frustrated if I don't see changes from Team Liquid for them to you know pick into this abyss map
You miss the Natsuele? Oh boy
Since that loss against KC, I'll be frustrated if they don't make changes
I don't want to see that title breach come
I think they are in the ideal spot to run that
Not the biggest fan of all I saw
Yeah
How's Derek's pay? Brexit is pretty good man
So the last map is like the best map torch
Which ever one you want him to play, like he's been doing quite well on the Wele
I would like to see that
or just like whoever won double pistol
You want a Nats chamber? Yeah I want a Nats chamber
I'd be so fine with that
Hey Burek stocks? I mean they're good in there
They're slowly sorting their crap out
Yep.
CMB said the last map was a lot, having the first two maps alone.
The last map wasn't too bad.
Yeah, this is kind of the discussion that we're having in regards to the compositions
from Liquid not really changing, they've been playing the same agents and I guess today
at least when it comes to buying Billy we can maybe expect the same thing?
Yeah, potentially.
I think what I had meant by this is that a lot of the compositions that they have run
this year, I'm speaking about the bind and split here, was kind of similar to the compositions
that they ran last year.
We're wired for energy?
Yeah, I would be wired for energy.
About that.
But I guess with a different team, like they want to build up that cohesion.
I'm not sure they can handle comp changes.
But yeah, I think that it's very easy to be able to prepare against this because
they're not really switching away from the identity that they had last year.
Yeah, for Heretics then, in regards to their compositions, we have been seeing changes, we've been seeing them also get a lot more comfortable when it comes to how they are on the server as well.
For that composition then, what are our expectations in regards to any changes there? Do we think they're going to stick with what was not working with them last time on a base?
I don't think they change, honestly. I don't think characters change.
Again, I would be surprised. Maybe they've worked on something just in general. They're making a lot of bracket run
I think that this series I don't think they would have gone in expecting a this to be the first pick in the pool
And I think as well I said that you're going in with Wilton Kaio, Rian Sova,
Dorn Astra, Benji Seifer and then Jett on comeback. These are like more comfortable picks. I don't think they'll change anything.
Ikea one of the Ikea's us. Ikea one's us.
I'm not sure it should be doing it this much but it might be you guys doing it on chat who knows.
Damn it really delaying out here.
I think coming to a base obviously both teams having less than I think is winning this from what we've seen
what we've seen that's been the favorites is aeratex official but they could at least improve
each time we watch them after time so given a bit more time maybe if they fit their abyss it's a
good sign nice yeah you definitely the actual page other teams going through the trial by fire
this is you somewhere
haha
look
obviously we do take a look here at the edge of this
uh
dude it worked as well death thank you so much for the sale one
is this all planned
thank you thank you the fatty
appreciate that thank you thank you
frenzy fusion as well
this is what happens every time we should always play there
we should always play the viewers
yes
thank you so much for the gift
gifted man I appreciate that thank you thank you um liquid did they change the comp they
changed their comp does it make sense it does make sense double dive they can create pressure
on bottom middle and they got a bit of comfort
oh this is interesting as well we've kind of been saying that this should be happening
Come back playing your wood playing fearless sender
Okay, I kind of like everything I see it seems a learning man teams are learning
His own and solo smokes enough
Yeah
You probably have to put a body behind your pressure over towards middle
But it kind of works if you have this because you can recon over towards middle
And then you know for sure if the TPs makes pressure or not
you could just like smoke the right through the recon and then you have a smoke there and so on.
So Big Papa Penguin, thank you so much man, thank you, thank you.
I'm appreciating that.
Um, Meg as well with the Prime, Rumi.
Well, Rumi there with the Prime also.
And Kutsu.
Oh, thank you so much. Thank you.
Thank you.
Um, Darkwing Carpet as well. Thanks for the 21 monsters. Thank you, thank you.
Guys, you all subbed after suddenly did this, he's gonna ask for our cut.
Oh, there it is already.
When am I getting that extra pay? Oh boy.
see in quite drastic fashion oh yeah oh yes we're certainly looking for massive
improvements on both sides wouldn't want to see you just stream YouTube streams up
the other with a similar score I'm just gonna find it lots to look out for here
and interesting enough I've got Wayne we're discussing this towards the
back end of last week one for me that's I mean I would pay for extra
they better a lot better see early on still week one matchup we didn't see
still a bit of... still a bit of crushing ball but I would say way more
disciplined. I've been there last two games which is good.
What do you think? It was obviously that NRG was going to struggle to fit in Kiko
into the Sons role given that Song is doing so much for the team. Yeah maybe with
mid-rounding stuff. The problem is we don't know that unless you can't
listen in to a lot of the comm stuff. Yeah, obvious to some.
Um, actually for the prime, appreciate the three months. Thank you for that, thank you, thank you.
Yeah, yeah, it's just a tech pause so that F&S can wake up in time.
You're right.
Dude, heritage will do in every film month.
Spill and mortar.
Changing in is.
We were watching come back on quote. Yeah talking about yeah, we're not necessarily seeing the numbers not as explosive
But there were just so many situations where you put any jewelers in that role
Yeah, I've done it on this stage for years would have struggled there. So I wouldn't send this because it's your calm
Yeah, I don't know I don't want to spoil everything the laws of people doing this in the offseason
guys on the first
I'm taking some of the boxes. I want to see a kickoff at least.
Yeah, I think so.
And kind of...
Just asking.
I mean, it's, uh...
It makes a lot of sense, but you'll come back on your own.
The number is in the good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Spade is spade.
Yeah, so it's like for me, I'd like to see how well he fares in this.
Hey, we're finally here.
It is time to look into map one properly.
Team Liquid, up against Heretics.
She had that line ready, dude.
She had that line ready.
She thought of that line as a smile into herself.
Okay, Liquid on defense, Heretics on attack.
Pretty good idea.
I mean they've done this one just want to play for retakes and this is gonna be a 5v5 retake
Definitely interested in how come back looks on the euro this what they're doing right here is what I would have done from the gift
That's a lot of people
It's a lot of people come for such a small choke. I like the idea of the dash through but
Yeah, it's a nice pistol from Heretic, so like the idea, uh, I never, never like the multiple numbers going for here faster than that.
Yeah, if you think, yeah, if they think, if you think they're there, you should just saturate off the wall.
All bases are covered, nothing left up to chance here.
Have you ever even saw some instances of very rehearsed choreographed pistol rounds
last week, or something? They've been preparing.
They're not doing killer trips, they're doing info trips.
Just like the easiest way to describe it, but they do it a lot more.
But it is just a lot of the other team playing really well as well. I don't like this.
Just get double lob and jump off straight away. They don't get a chance to get one.
Yeah, a lot of oscarious, but we saved some time at least.
Yeah, I mean it kind of worked out okay, right? He bought a Marshal then threw the Marshal away.
So at least Heretics won, considering they were going to do this,
just save both the guns. It comes the fast strat with the bucky. It's pretty simple
from Liquid just wherever the side throws they play retake.
Aw, big distraction. Aw, and he pushes it into the wall, man, this fuck.
Yeah, Benji had a really bad start to kickoff, he's looking a lot better.
Yeah, he's in the Gen G tech.
Okay, Nats is at least considering it, seeing this.
That's yeah, he's positive.
So, yeah, that's gonna be a bit of a catch up there, Naaagz!
Gonna find a four-up hold on Boo, with an all-in-two and a 1v1 here!
Oh my good god, Boo, easy tiger, that was a bit of a wide swing, but he's not got half yet.
Boo's got time.
Make a smoke swing?
That's been cleaned with it as well, and time signed a dwindle.
And Perpo, being toyed with, being played with, half's achieved, but time is there, Boo!
Very nice from Boo, just waiting it down on this one.
I'm gonna tell you, Mike, a Red Bull clutch, yes!
But Benji has been beaten up!
I mean, Benji did so good.
The kill after the dash on the side was...
Did they play that well, boo? Yeah, boo.
Yeah, Wyn's gonna just, uh... Wyn's gonna just ignore the waylay.
Easier said than done.
broken the pledges from liquid now right sheriffs marshal um ill bow thank you so much for the
primate thank you for doing it benji again on the hunt
and a couple of them is the liquid stacked up here towards me at least
oh camo will be spotted okay come back's allowed to just
this is again this just makes so much more sense for heretics man
just let this guy eco from heretics now looking to
The liquid at the early info of the cam 4% stack on B
where he is and he could pick up a gun.
What did he need for another gun after he shot the gun?
That was a gun anyway.
I mean...
Damn bro, that is an absolutely insane round.
Yeah, I mean it's nice info with the camera so they can get the stack here, but...
Yeah, I gotta see all these shots.
The rare sheriff ace.
Mate, the recovery after that is lovely.
Ooh, that kills the nicest.
That's it.
That is really sick.
I'm not necessarily a bailout, but there were spots down here.
Yeah, break the bank of Heretics. I'm just looking in the money there.
Yeah, hold on. Maybe he's on a glass cannon.
Two on the other side. Heretics were lazy on the clear before.
Now he'll be ready.
I'm excited for 3 best of 5 tomorrow. I mean I'm pretty excited for it. It's just it's 24
maps man and 24 hours followed by another day of 24 maps in 24 hours but I'm excited
for the games. Just how tired we feel. Dynamic 4 with the prime. Appreciate the 4 months
do you think for that? I mean yeah he has so much confidence bro. He gets a little late
on this one, 40 seconds gonna make a move on this. Liquid? Just gambling over towards
B, gamble right, two kill trips, not that it really works these days. One kill shot
left. These two make so much sound and they don't consider the walkthrough.
Yeah, it's a nice room door. It's a nice room from Heretic, though. I like that a lot. The
very, very calmness is like a fanatic-esque, really. Just pushing through here at the
25 second mark of these two. It's so well making the distraction.
Nothing to do man
That is
That's one to remember for heritage. Yeah, they're pretty much snowboarding on this one in the mind
We got one nine last one
This is the sort of round that you want to see heretics come to where right where it doesn't it gets a little chaotic
It's not necessary. You don't know why I'm believing in nonchalant. They have a chance to make long shim
Great when the moment comes where we're inside. Yeah, I just can't believe they got so far without anyone kind of
I mean we saw purple dropping. I don't know if there was maybe some utility in the middle that got cleared early
But it's just a lack of consideration of even the possibility of that happening
Yeah, if that's the part that surprised me a touch but which was what liquid really struggled with versus
Why did they leave a gap in the middle?
Cause there wasn't much heat though here. They did gamble a little bit. They had 2s, 4v5
It was the pacing
In some of the mid rounds the liquid just looked absolutely lost in
a beautiful take to close out a fourth here I wonder if you know that Yeltsin is your
friend I'm sure only if he's my friend you don't have to let me know that he's my friend
not sure that's how it works month shambles uh camo well yeah after camera
now with an an ace on the previous what just sheriffs what do we got the back
down to just the operator for miniboot the rifle in hand for camo
they put a lot to work in middle but the boss is here does get a good trade very nice
maybe a little bit hesitant to recover that rifle but it is possible and they probably
should go get that site's not yours anymore they just let the recover before the spike
is planted
they can try and go for him
3 through ct, 1 back through kind of fence side
and it looks like heritage from a folk store that's ct but there's a very individual effort from comeback there
no one else really able to scale off it but now we all have to make it go out
re-ends picks up the mantle, nice shot towards ct where it's nats
unable to get involved, just a bit of a divide to do this
and pappos on for an opportunity but no shield, right this is a missed one
head to one that matters
On the floor, thank you so much man, appreciate the 7 months
Thank you, thank you for that
So without that, yeah
I'm worried for them
They changed their comp, but it doesn't look like super comfy
I know it's an eco. It feels like pretty, I don't know, I need to believe in Cypher.
The problem is with the Cypher stuff, you have to just use it as info instead of kill
trips. I've only seen kill trips. The only round they use the stuff for info, like early
info, they actually won on the eco. They're sort of the good use of Cypher, like 2026
I don't know, I don't think this house is great at the moment.
That's time heretics is the best of the good, isn't he?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
double dual list and come back in here was you know what what are the pics we're
gonna see for benji to be the one to pick up some of heretics is the best of
looking ages I remember when they said look the best of them in a DR it's very
exciting because again if you roll your mind back to when heretics were in
probably the heyday of their form how many rounds was Benji clutching up from
how much impact did this man have he was a mainstay in conversation
obviously a downturn and the agent itself had downturned you know we
didn't see Cypher anywhere near as much which was his as said his bread and butter if we find a bit
more of that fantastic i don't think we're seeing the composition be excellent but it's only the
players playing it right now that are showing that they have to see how it is just by the way
we've seen previously and that's where you might not from liquid standpoint it's in terms of
prep here you pick a bit and you almost get the uno-referenced since then how you want to
play the map again there's lots of learnings in these early rounds that unfortunately
It stays at this sort of deficit, it's going to be difficult for Liquid to find a way back
into this area.
This heretics just hold impassive, just waiting for some kind of push.
Teams are getting a lot of better with this, right?
Every single time the URA TP is going to end, they try and get info, it's probably
some of the BBL do the best of the moment.
Same with, honestly, same with Omen TP, the greater info.
Okay, heretics are happy with pressure here.
I do want to see how he fits into this maybe on
I mean on the defending side it's fine if they love a mid at the moment amidst a week
I would love a camera here at one point but he had a great start of things but then
finding it a little bit harder to adapt deeper into it but it works now
all good but um played very differently it feels like very active very aggressive very
yes you don't have to worry about middle oh my god if he had actually stuck that
I think it's the killfisher
pressure over towards the ledge way later from mid as well. Oh, this is a nice run from heretics
This is good for minibur as well though. I like that clear over towards middle. The dash sees nothing
Spike is incredibly late
Oh really?
I like the reaction towards middle and that's just insta-faint, they still worry me, they
worry me a bit.
That's the best comp in a vis at the moment, in my opinion Jentome is just comp is the
this site
brim, brim astra
that's your liquid, total right mate
you're able to slow things down and systematically break through this post plant
NOOOO!
let's go, let's go!
quite like maybe kind of subverting the expectations there
benji kind of showing in middle
brim, yeah man, brim's good on this map
as we saw before, but then taking the tp out right
getting back to the pack playing for 4-1 split
I wouldn't have minded that
see liquid though seeming to handle it exceptionally well but theory doesn't seem
bad from heretics but just maybe messed up the landing attach now at this point
a little bit of a person thing towards the A side but
commitment so far I'm back here what for sure had one cross still liquid
posture here and actually waiting will be spotted how I know you're completely
mitigated here and then you just get smith for free every single time was a set
piece but you see the position now the purpose has to play in these sorts of
rounds but this this causes real issues for rotations though right like to be fair
luckily for liquid they have the three on the right side of the map so far
Benji just give you a nuisance in mid but it keeps those two pretty far off
so if they can win the 4v3 on the side I mean if they dry pick it they lose
position. Let's see, Miniboo. Timing's gonna be right. That's very good. I have to cancel
on that go up. Now I need to hold off for a second longer.
You have to stop with checking if you dash around the side.
They've been stalled out now. Yeah, they have no backup here to bar from come back
us to just take a TP and hop. No one's close enough to hit a TP. It might not
actually work. You've got a one to do. Miniboo turning the first flash, comes
back around, sprays into the smoke. But the reaction is there.
It did pretty good to get a trade, huh?
Oh!
God, he looks sick!
Geez, that's Kano, man!
Yeah, he's in the majority of their rounds. Honestly, I thought he was direct on the same.
got their money a little bit better as all they should get to buying
buy for a loss there
um, heretics with a killer combo if they wanna do it
the most common one for this is
this one right?
and then you TP over... you got two
one on each side
it's like this one here
3 TP here
and this one where you TP over towards back I'm saying
they should know about them
talk to a liquid fan right now and feel like i'm not bullying them it's it's not okay jesus
we need like a blood pressure monitor on each and every one of them um for now though a bit of a
different start standardizing the approach is flaming us uh we do have a couple of alt tiers
what booze got here's come back to us on the other side just wanes and purpose but uh a very
different positioning um maybe expecting there's now a bit of a reaction to this mid-pressure and
The slip through middle of the bend you pulled off now three players. I just get info from liquid
We didn't
Really play much. Yeah, I mean guys we can't be falling for this
So unaware of this they've got the site
to see that utility come in there it is denial on the first attempt
like the individuals are saving us a little bit though
that camera really is yeah i still got a bit tough for this so
oh look how much time he has here oh i didn't hear him on the other side and then
and I guess Wayne's comms aren't good enough. Dude, Wayne made me just not hear him at all.
It's just outrageous, but it's just like the same sort of coin both sides around though.
Let's go, alright.
You know what the rest of the questions start, I mean I was about to say, just before I had
to say, where things have slowed down, this is where we maybe explore some of the shift
in ethos for heretics in terms of this new composition and a little bit of pace to kick
things off.
I mean I've got to give so much credit here as well towards Lowhand and the coaching
stuff.
After that timeout we've seen just, whatever the adaption was, whatever they've kind
Switched up a little bit here has landed. So well this has been an absolute cure to their woes
Don't get me wrong camo is putting in some serious work. He is actually I'd say what genuinely
I mean, yeah, it's a free v5. He's got an ace with a sheriff. I mean
Awesome down to an eco as well that is a devastating round for them to lose
I mean, everyone's had one of them, I mean.
That was FNS still asleep, guys.
He's got a 24-hour day tomorrow. Let the man sleep.
How does that shotgun?
Maybe it's meant to go at the back in case they hear him in this back.
make it look all too easy yeah it's a Gundam it's a curious view don't worry we'll get barracks
working again back to vanilla oh we're rolling back the years mate sliggy get the pen out stop
drawing it in yet money at all no pressure surely they're gonna fix it money and all
gonna fix it surely starting to believe it themselves potentially it felt like it was
one-sided for quite some time
I think liquid definitely finding
What's working for them in terms of response to somebody again spacing a little different to what we saw in some of those earlier rounds
Obviously the purchase not
Paratix up for success
There we go on effect as well here will be uh wait
Just a couple of sheriffs
Yeah, this isn't really gonna be you again.
Okay, it's 5-5, right?
It's 5-5.
It's a buy-me-buy.
Yeah.
Okay, 2v4 for Heretics.
Well, Heretics of the two.
who's got a sight but doesn't give full control he can't hold heavily can't hold
the stairs he has to decide which show me the money if heretics lose this they
have to equal unless they get a plant then maybe they can allow by with
uh by honor for heretics to play into their hands
boo looks as if he wants to at least show the money the money is if you
can catch somebody should be and not crap that's the best way I can do it
to relay the information money
big investment here
there's no way you're getting away with it
re-ends look, you've got so many bodies
to try and drop here
yeah, not what you said
first buy is not going to be that good man
at least they got the car away
they could have turned around
this series is just
the numbers first
we are seeing a resurgence here
and it looks damn good
very very impressive stuff
impressive stuff I think I don't necessarily want to say the heretics of all time in that
shell here but I'm sure you'll be able to at least receive some of these pressure points
that heretics are really looking to focus again mid point tl answer this he's not a
picky today man holy hell honestly maybe we should go wake up in this up yeah obviously
school being sixty five right now as we enter
round twelve
assuming the purchase is back
expectations are too high
i mean benji
gonna have to dip out of there
and can't re-adjust a little, i quite like the slipper instead of trying to play with this, but it feels like liquid's got that now
i can say that part out
they're forcing heretics into a more all-in approach towards sight
And that's that thing with the ludicrous, they feel confident in the retakes here
Yeah, there's only two of us on the game
Oh god, he's way too high for this
That's the big boy down
The mini-sova off is actually outrageous
Ooh, the main danger and it's allowed for the...
Yeah, 5v4, 4th of the clip
So, back to the good, plant in play
The retakes haven't to work out with what?
4 players in the same spot
Yeah, we're late all enough to plant here, it should be done
I mean it is right. Oh it's a good trade though.
Smoke to cross side.
Oh hold up. Smoke for Spike.
I do this. Gonna have to spam it.
Am I dead? Oh I'm not so lucky.
Oh, it is. 6x.
I just wanted something new in my life.
some new challenges and I just felt like I had the other potential in the other environment.
I would say just like a different environment and not better or worse, you know, like just
working with different people, learning different things and just going forward as an individual
and as a player.
KaraQ, thanks so much for the prime, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Our qualities and our vision came together similar, we both want the same things and our work ethic is similar, we share the same vision.
I've been always saying that in-game-wise that I don't count my brother as my brother, he's just my ideal.
and I think it doesn't change in this team as well.
It's, you know, like, ISNATS is just ideal
and into a list and it just, it doesn't matter.
I think the biggest difference is outside the game, I would say.
You know, like, having a brother close nearby,
you know, talking in your own language
is also, like, different.
But it's just, like, outside the game,
comfort, you know, like, I can still see him.
We met each other, like, a few days ago.
Like, we live in the same city,
so I wouldn't say it's gonna be a big, big, you know,
difference or problem.
I don't think you should judge like this team compared to the last team because I think three players are different
You know in eSports, there is that thing that you have to prove yourself once and once like over and over again
Like even as in heretics, you know in 2024 we go to the champs finals
That's longest half-time mate. It's not a it's two minutes not even
I think the same with this team
You gotta give TikTok my guy telling you your brains right?
Can't handle two minutes
You're gonna fulfill that potential of one
I have high hopes obviously like I have high standards and I've been there and I want to win
Aaron thanks all to the Prime Minister, thank you for the 12 months, thank you, thank you for that
I'm positive about this year
To Macbomb as well, thank you for the 34 months, appreciate the Prime Minister dude, thank you for that
Now the question I guess becomes then, who's Romulus and who's Reenus in this situation depending
Do you often hear stuff?
Dan, they got specially made
Not much of a golfer and watchmaker
Fair play
Got preference right?
No, not even close
But family fair here really though, isn't it right? It's it's a rare occasion. I think I've only ever seen it
Yeah, it's a win-win
Once or twice before you ever seen
No, no, no, obviously here
So you're not balling on it, it's like
Yeah, absolutely, I'm not a baller
Danny, thank you for the 2 on bar, appreciate that
I think it's a nice...
And even there in the interview saying...
Yeah, I see what you're saying
Which sounds cold but it's like...
That kind of cold!
That's a huge positive
I can maybe actually...
...lovely draw it.
Oh my god!
It's a really strong free boss lineup.
Looking like a double pistol of heretics.
Yeah, that is.
for a sitter and that's the spike so that should be kind of done here we have one player left
and that's what purple's trying to put it together okay all right purple first
all right heretics up now to seven to six okay
benzy is just looking he's looking on it today look at me man honestly i get another beautiful
We'll bait you here on the back of comeback!
See previously being...
Hey chatty drew the numbers!
Oh, that's all the other egg in it!
You guys are going to lose your minds!
The tiktok brain is taken over!
That's what we sounded like when it happened, it probably...
Okay, my dearest co-streamers, 7 to 6.
Keep it updated, alright?
I believe in you.
Well, why did she say it that way around?
Let's see how this carries on.
I'm going to have to keep tally, so the casting is going to go downhill.
Severely, I'm like that's trying to ideal right now. It's
Yeah, you guys could do it they could write the hud
What did they buy
Okay, what's the same equal
3k in the second round of
This half up to eight now
Liquid training by six.
I'm feeling brave.
By two, sorry, at six.
No, that's...
Don't, don't make me...
Guys, what's that?
It's four to five, that's a plus to half!
Okay, we're going for eight six, right?
So, there's an eight on this side, and a six here.
How are we feeling about that?
Can't see it.
I don't want to delete mine to check it out.
Oh, okay, well, that's...
Six, yep.
Pretty big.
I play with a fucking S, actually.
Haven't done the logo just yet, but if you were wondering...
Obviously
No idea about not sir. What now got you he sorted
It's gonna say well that was good spot him. Do I delete mine?
In spite not committed on either side yet. What's that to spank a little bit of aggression here?
Yeah, that's nice dude, just out in the open with the ult, you can tank the flash, you
just peek earlier.
Wait, that's cool.
I hope I found four heretics under 60 seconds now, and I could need to find a response somewhere.
I'm gonna clear that off. I'm done with my graphics.
Graphic design is my passion.
Liquid though, will we go back to the day?
Yeah, this isn't like a lot of rough, man.
Those re-ends have a re-con.
That actually takes the worst of that.
No.
21HP, 30 pounds.
OK, but he went back for seconds and so did Boon.
That's gone about as badly as you could imagine.
Got to take a bend to the left.
And then Recon should have scanned here,
so the veto is wrecking them by the way.
Took the team flash, Recon didn't scan them.
Two remaining on the other side, but look how far away.
So hard to be aware of everything.
That flank is a mile off for comeback.
There's still a little bit of time to play with it.
Yeah, I mean, there's still lots of time to play with it.
But combat needs to get a clean engagement here on the flank.
Who obviously still considering his approach.
Can't make him so careful.
Oh, God.
Yeah, no timers.
Oh, God.
Oh, God, it's so close.
It's really close.
We're at 8-7 now. In favour to heretics still.
This is the end jump off the edge.
Are you for you? I think the tier 1 is over. I think we've done that also.
You would imagine big buyer on the teams that can't buy next.
When I say teams, it will be liquid mainly.
Actually no, it'll be both teams. I'm pretty sure there's only one who can buy next on the server.
anticipating some aggression and he and that's will fall to it
or solo endeavor as well from group
yeah it's
surprising all the way with it again and actually got the kill this time though
that's a bit of a surprise me because they punished him on that before
a bit of a bit more of a prevention or a...
Is this a seven or a one?
Bro, there's a...
That's the first time I've read YouTube chat for a while
and he thinks that this
could be a one?
My guy.
Because
ignoring YouTube chat for the rest of the day.
I think I've got good info on this.
Oliver, thank you so much for the 12 months you've breached the other brand.
3v4 on the site pretty much.
Now here, um, that was...
Oh, the timing on that flash is nice, bro.
Yeah.
Managed to skip through towards site, so fair to play.
Now it's getting a bit weird and a bit messy.
But Benji is doing gank.
It's not as much he can do now.
Hiphopper can get off site, he has server or probably not the round to do it until they spot the numbers.
the numbers. Hand hand as well with the two moms, appreciate the prime as well. Thank you so much.
Oh interesting, YouTube said we don't ask for FNS's every day.
The only messy word, luckily purple helps him out, but purple lost it with Source!
What are we all expecting what's happening so heretics get another step in the right direction of being up at 9 to 7?
I'm pretty sure they, uh, look we can't buy next as well.
Is it your turn to dip?
Okay, now that 7 looks a little like a 1. If you had decided for this one, I could understand it.
What's the score?
I just think the 7 would be better.
Well actually on the other side Nat's had an opportunity to find that or at least spot the information
Maybe make a decision elsewhere again
Kind of the ideal situation is for liquid there in terms of expecting aggression and very quickly
Get themselves into a position
to make moves elsewhere
At least they're not having fun
A little bit at the end of that
shambles but they did bring up a good point man which is always asking my
FNS's I've never seen YouTube ask once
I start reading them again they always ask I just don't read them okay well
a split focus but obviously the funds
I mean they're stabilized for them
I can only assume
I can't
No there's no real way to see it
is there? No
Any singular way to show them
You've completely sold them sure there
Because that scoreboard doesn't exist here
Yeah, yeah, sorry guys
Sorry
Is there a way to get
just like the normal game hud
servers that'd be kind of cool
I don't know. I shouldn't say this on there. I'm not putting you on the spot. I don't mean to be mean. It's not you guys
The old-school hugs
If you are just tuning in is nine to seven in favorite heretics. Oh wait, maybe
What's the money going on just to get a couple of bandits. We might be picking the week site
Hello
This is
where's that second string there it is oh this is when they introduced the bandit
I thought we're gonna be seeing this every single time man the rightfuls as well
incredible shots it is one of three solar rounds and two of them have been an eco
was absolutely insane once more from camo pixel perfect
The actual band around here is the line-up is...
Oh, there's a really nice summer class.
I mean, yeah.
I didn't know that to say!
I know you'll see that in Sagerum!
Drop in that rifle!
You're good!
Alex, thank you so much!
Alex, don't be any like this one.
Judas is over the table.
Thanks for the 3 months.
9 to 8.
It's actually a pretty rock predicament.
No one has to particularly build up
funding behind them back and forth the whole way and we can see how close these
rounds we're getting turning that round with just the new pistol it's not
ridiculous but it ends once it goes well it's a pistol date apparently just standing
just hit shots fight planted that's why we're going though frantic enemy thanks
much of the two on that appreciate that thank you thank you three
person push behind she'll kill though potentially
the end is so close that works off in that engagement and he's the rest of
the team now to kind of koala hell of me good luck in your game man
yeah between the two of them excited to watch the legs of the party there blue bird does at least
get the classic go but by now liquid just have numbers their timing you'd need i mean they
kind of locked in might do a lot of damage here this is what i'm saying not just
Oops.
Yeah, I only did okay, though.
I'm waiting for you to show it up here just for round 19. Back in the game. Back in the game.
Oh, back with a HUD. Back with a HUD. Back with a HUD.
Oh, it's sticking around.
Perm a HUD. Perm a HUD.
Hey, who knows all around for here today. Do not trust it. We'll keep you up to date.
Look at this. Pick up the pace, yeah?
Super, super direct. Maybe just building up your ability.
The 5v5 retake on this. Keep an eye on that, it's doing the Bozda cosplaying.
See where the whelay goes, so it's gonna say the strong line there.
It's two. No one sends it in. They save the normal flash.
Oh nice shots for everyone.
Nice man, that's a lot of damage done by the HUD already frozen at the end of the weekend.
Look at the shots here, that was pretty nice.
Oh look at that, no money's play with.
I'm up for them.
Just to take stock, because this seems to have tipped in Liquid's favor in the last few four
or five rounds.
Yeah.
Three in succession, the Liquid now.
So it does feel as though we are now into that kind of tilting point, right?
Sadly, and I guess more importantly, we're at double digits, so you can't afford to
wait any later.
It is only looking like Sheriff's potentially coming out for the heretic side, so that could be another factor in this. However, they will have quite a few alts potentially there. Boo's gonna have his, I think. Come back again, I say this with slight pause of hesitation, but I'm looking at the other screen a bit further.
I'm sending it. I'm sending it.
I'm sending it.
Maybe seeing come back and sit in the house. It's always angry. Never happy
Buy out again. Oh, yeah, that's what I can put it frozen
Dude, even if I need to have the foresharer, so I love how that's just IGL most teams most teams
We'll come back when you have the eco hunting rounds. They just let the yoru dirt, right?
You can see do you know, you're not gonna get trapped and stuff like that
I'm that whole player, he's my team, I want the Eqos.
Ah, heroes here as well, hello mate, how are you doing bro?
Fucking nice at the moment as well, man.
Let's see if Liquid can find a response here, Nats. Eager to try and equalize all. Catch a glimpse, but no connection found.
Three-person stack on site, no real info around the map.
This is where you can see a collision outside B, yes. So, heretics are really looking to take a lot of space away from Liquid,
and the confirmation will come now that actually the focus must be towards...
Yeah, it's a good push from Benji as well. It kind of clears everything.
everything might even get a four-person stack here
Luria, thanks so much for the 27 months mate. Thank you for doing that
You gotta assume not to recover.
We've got a natural cleaner, 11 on the board, 4 liquid.
Camo continuing to take strides.
4 liquid here, 24 kills on the board now.
And again, we made the comment earlier, just pivotal in terms of some of these rounds.
Not necessarily from an individual effort, this is all in from liquid.
Like, really well considered approach.
I like the suggestion of being mod
Sure, you can be mod
You might have to play in the mod team at one point though
You've got strong players
G, Yampi, Darker, CNet
You're also there
Keep it IGL
Smuya? Yeah, put Smuya in
Why not?
anticipating heretics try to make some moves again it's that pieces of look good
from heretics talk about the pistols some of these early round engagements
certainly packed a punch
liquid almost leaning into that by leaving three members outside a this
time what's previously knaps to try and police that space but so many
Ult on this one, come back we should go get Info.
D1, that's it.
Dude, Omen all in spawn here like this.
Look like Ryn's in here.
In here?
Oh, damn, nice and dumb, bro.
The big 2v2.
Put a stick on Psych's Astral.
Oh, a six shot.
Recon doesn't really give him any info.
Oh, gosh.
Against his X-teens.
He's waiting so so patient about this toy with him Benji
Okay, they lost one and then one one
They can a really well constructed round from liquid
Yeah, no, I like this round. The Omenor here is pretty under a little off
Yeah, I like the Omenor here especially when they push spawn and they can have the crossfire
Or if they want to try to deal with him like they can't cross with these guys
Money like money's really lost heretics
That's come on shot three
It's right
Oh
Liquid have enough money
the early round. Oh, eesh! Beautiful stuff from Woot. In camera, unfortunately, left
a little too disconnected there. Holy, man! Another reading moment. Yeah, Benji's giving
it. All tied up now. Again, funds still something in the bank for Liquid. Heretics
It's gonna be struggling behind this for two members at least if they concede round 23
Hunter's fear available divide available for heretics on the other side and nothing
I'm real awesome. That's at least the liquids. What's the heretics?
Am I easy the difference maker?
Oh, that's
Oh
See, we need to start facing heaven
They saw him.
Oh nice, on top of this as well.
If we get to kill it's all, that's the true thing.
It might actually make a difference as well might get a chance to do it
I love your little setup on site. Yeah, I'm gonna go with it
Post plant here, mini-beat.
Get a little cooler under the pressure here, able to fade part of my wind.
Yeah, I hope I did incredible though.
you
that
Don't be giving me that.
The problem is they started playing double jaw this month.
You saw that?
Okay, okay.
Can't be calling me a fake fan or anything.
Alright, back a little bit.
Oh, I can't help but want smile to lose it
Here on the TV, yeah, they shake my brother high
I'll never, I'll never fight
We are sacrificed
But I'm still in front of the hour
Hey, it's my superpower
Here, I can't help but run to a shop
Can I see this on the floor?
Get up, run, watch the world, tell the world
Get on, take me, I'm from the black
If I never sleep, I'll never fly
When I'm sacrificed
When I'm through, I'm from the hour
Take this monster, but why
Get my head high
Run, do it, shine, can you see
I'll stay dead down till the power
Take this my superpower
This one will still be coming
I can't die before they die
No rules, no rules
Holy Gods can judge me
I
hey
Bad moments are only about not even regretting something
Have a little this moment that I kind of hit I just like stand up
I just push through, you know? Success needs to come, you know?
There's no such a team that we can't afraid of.
I think they should be afraid of us.
Valorant, Valorant, Valorant, all the time, like Valorant is everything for me, you know?
There's no other option for me than becoming the best.
I'm qualified for Santiago's the main goal for me.
There's no easy games and everyone deserves to be here,
but that's also what makes it fun, right?
That's so many trophies behind my back.
And I want to beat anyone.
If it means I have to beat my former teammates,
you might decide to beat your friends,
but it's okay.
My team aerotics is used to playing in the low bracket
and will always be one of the best teams in Europe.
So we can handle the hard moments and this is another hard moment for us.
There has been a change in the Bisk composition.
Is there more to the bridge being unfavorable in this matter or to conflictability?
Guys, can you use normal words?
I mean, I just played to our strengths, that's it.
We changed a lot this week.
And yeah, we're just playing more around our strengths.
I think everyone is playing comfortable agents, things that are comfortable with.
I think that's it.
Yeah, that's it.
Simple as that.
That's the last one.
You know?
That's it.
They're playing what they're comfortable with.
It did work out in their favor as well as you managed to close out a base after a questionable
venture that we've seen on it against KC.
So good things showing out from the side of team.
Like there were also heretics on the other side of things.
I think a lot of the players as well since that they played and I think for me personally,
Billy, this was a lot closer than I expected it to be.
Yeah, definitely.
especially when you consider team heretics winning both pistols and then losing out on the map.
It's really frustrating when you end up saying that happen.
But to touch on Team Liquid's composition change, I think that this is what we wanted to see from them.
I think that previously having that breach in Tejo, we were kind of like,
ugh, you're playing in a base without a soba, I feel like that kind of makes the bridge.
Yeah, Tom really likes the breach.
Yeah, yeah.
So yeah, I think that...
I love comatability on it.
They've not steered away to anything that's like too crazy.
I think if anything, they've gone to a composition that should work for them.
And I'd like as well that we're seeing Camel being on that permanent Yoru, it seems like they're kind of having purple on the initiator now and Camel's the secondary due list, which I feel like going forward should be Team Liquid's identity.
I feel like both teams shifted to a more meta comp on this map, but then you start to see some of the problems with heretics, I think we saw all the way through where it's like, okay, come back, we hadn't had him on Yoru yet, mainly because I felt like it wasn't a comfortable pick, it didn't look particularly comfortable.
and then you put Wu on the Wei Lei as that kind of switch and I was a little bit surprised by that.
Like I understand, I think with comeback still feeling out a lot of different agents,
I do think Wei Lei's been one of the okay ones so far. So to swap those over and both of them
just looked a little bit lost in comparison to the other two. Like you look at Kamu and Minibu,
Minibu taking the space and Kamu then just killing everyone. Like that was the game. That
was how most of the map went. And it wasn't even with rifles at the time. He did it with
with a bandit he did it with a sheriff like he was just and you know what can
we put a little hairs on this team liquid roster that can just turn to make
the ad thing and have individual balance yeah that's where we are kind of have to
dissect this agent this time around we're not letting the casters do it we're
actually going to do our job so Tom I see you have a little little raise me
right where I like they're going really into the double jewel it's like
mini-boon now switching over to the neon you've got the way they're
Still in the gecko
I mean liquid used to get the gecko all the time so maybe I got for this
We almost got a double gecko up front
About the gecko endpoint
I like that. I like Neon at the moment. Every time I've seen the Neon, I sort of win. Neon's been good at the moment.
Neon Chamber Winnering is very high. Not together, but...
this map is all about. I do
think on defense his stuns are
going to be quite valuable. So
maybe that's the thought process
that he can have the operator
and he can slow everybody on the
other side, but they are kicking
things off on the attack, and I
think that might be a bit
tougher than running, say a
raise or a Yara. This is
even more exciting than the
best even so. It is heretics
mafics. So so far his words
do remain true. Yeah, I mean,
I'm excited to see it. I
think like this is why we
I mean like, this is what I've been saying.
So it's the wingman again, yeah?
It's been a while.
It doesn't surprise me that they come in to this state.
Boss game.
Yeah, yeah, quite a fair amount of impacts, man.
It was interesting.
You know what, let's switch things up.
Exciting doesn't mean good.
Well, we'll let the casters decide that.
Because, you know, maybe they can give us some insight.
You hate to buy for massive.
Exciting means good.
So, Panty, high fuck, are we excited?
Yeah.
The grid's pretty high.
I am filled with joy.
Absolutely and utterly.
Exciting means good.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
as both teams show up to the series today and continue with some of the issues we've seen.
Especially on the side of Liquid, I mean that's a very exciting map one.
All things considered, their ability to be very resilient in a situation where it felt like
Heretic came with a great game plan to abyss.
And they had the individual showing up as well. We had great looks coming out from Heretics,
but it wasn't enough. Team Liquid, map one under the belt, going in though to Heretics'
map choice of mind but a new look coming up from some new agents coming in here is this
the switch up we can get this one done let's see what we can get this done in two do you believe
in that i mean i do believe in 1500 lifetime kills again and isolated in some in terms of
kcb in the common denominator okay heretics on defense liquid on um attack two and no on
the pistols at the moment the condom in the pistols which has been something that's been
Yeah, it's close. Yeah, I mean they just go for the 1-3-1, just wait for some kind of
sound and then they get full here fast flood. What do they do? Just get a flash high and
sender. That is nice bro, that play.
People have been doing this a lot. Who's the team that anti-paper-axes that were doing
this? I know, I know Forcense or Talon. Both of them kind of used to use this all
the time. Wait, wait, this is, wait, this is.
really damn well this is what i'm a second i'm pretty sure that rq yeah it was rq you're right
if anyone could do it oh you would believe in this man
toxins go here this i have this how's my spike in 38 seconds but can you get away
you only take one burn really well here plenty of time to get this plant down as well potentially
a chance to reset comfortably before anybody can really crest to small reinstats 20hp as well
Yeah he's gonna have to go in and find him. Oh, it's a wits.
I mean I guess it blocks the angle for them to walk out.
A low HP.
Discommit, I think.
So much time there. I don't think he can get away with doing this the whole time.
play with the time here that might be on for an absolute heat of here plays it
oh wait that's sick round dude that's a sick round it's fair play
I don't think I have any chance to do this
like I said historically a miracle worker in his own right
he really is that's insane there's a great shot from anywhere
so I've opened the second map here from Nats absolutely surgical
He was so smart with a lot of that as well.
Yeah, Boo tried to do the bolster as well, get half of the orb and then tap it again
to make him peek.
There, he just thought he wasn't going to peek ever.
This is kind of nice as well.
This is Heretic trying to go for the 100 sheaves, double orb on the eco.
check there are a lot of bodies and all the bodies to drop now but luckily waning
that's doing damage
serious
get there second
look a little dicey there and that's like double timing
the angle as well
things I think that's still going to kill that
even transition back in the sign
anybody get it
score the pistols to one to heretics
liquid of one of us
the liquid then to clean up
rifles will obviously come back for heretics here
bucky in hand for camo
so
gonna maybe
look for something a little cheeky here
to start around three
yeah i wanna see if they have something more direct again
yeah it looks very
singular in approach
Benji don't want to be tested
first has is 1v1
They're forcing through a Vipers model.
Dude, actual no fair.
Spacing and once more looking great in some of these very rehearsed set pieces
Initially concerned obviously around the composition the desk were highlighting, but
If they can continue
On the slide. Yeah, they're they're committed to the combo. I just thought the Viper money
They weren't gonna send it to be honest. It's one of those that yeah, it's always a thin line in this game
It's looking like an idiot or genius
But you could just see you be able to see the plans in motion seeing that could go wrong
so easy but it distrusts and separates so much neon waley dude neon's really good at the moment
Oh, they got wrecked by the smoke man. They got so wrecked by the smoke.
It does look like liquid had done that, I'm like.
We've got the smoke ready for the TP crunch. We're ready to insta-react once this orb
got picked up knowing that they might go for both.
Like this is two rounds where we've seen good planning from liquid.
That's 21hp
Lucky to be breathing at this point
Just get to reset with the rest or showers, but I think Rai will have a delay in agent
Now let's just re-walk in
Clear and cautiously towards Long, the flash is gonna connect, but still, camo
Erring on the side of caution wants to get the full picture before committing towards either side of this map
It was a long rotation, but they do have now all players near on on this B site
They can easily cancel this, that's his on the other side, I mean obviously before they
send it Nat should even just spot over towards him.
Well, spot on to send it, I mean they get so much info though, yeah I mean I was gonna
say like, drink a tea or something.
That's a nice part of the game.
Yeah, definitely a little too far.
I think Perthboy is going to be considered in this position, like...
and will be cancelled out so no freebie for re-ends and no information either on the back of that because it's the Molly obviously a
deep position noted but
purple so I'm not a little double
I'm looking good
zero star two buying
crossing the T's doing the eyes they are doing everything right yeah a little costly in that round but heretics did try and get a little bit cheeky with it
Their play you're gonna get a couple casualties, but by all right there doing excellent work here on liquid
You're looking at the alt as well. They are now knocking at the door
Have you ready to go camos obviously from this round? You can see exactly why Nat had his
Early to be fair. He's been doing wonders, but two away from me who's purpose only two off as well
So a couple of key ults there very nearby similar scenes for heretics and now might be the chance. That's not bad. It's good, man
We're in the best. It's pretty good
information
There's a camera just missing.
10 out of 10 phantoms, yeah bro, that's rare.
Especially in the E.
When that phantom pill...
Bro, they just fast send a B every single Byron right now.
Two Byrons just ends the B-split.
prepped man
Liquid all normal block vision but you have this bit at the back so hide it on maybe against prowlers as they go mid
Maybe push over towards showers TP
Nice.
I do like saving the Viper smoke on this is so, so nice.
I don't know.
Yeah, might just be a timeout save this spamming B on Byron, so when it gets to that next
Byron they could uh, they could do someone different
I can't tell you enough, this is a elimination game between these two, only one can tell me what that is here
And even then, you're not particularly safe, but you have to get past this hurdle
So you talk about pressure and confidence, the heretics we saw in that one, they came up for the boss
I don't care, I'm not seeing that idea, they look a lot behind the curtain, but you know, present in this, well-made plans as well
The worry they must start to feel this more
He did an incredible to get one.
Dude, boo's frying them.
Oh mate, let's see it.
That's some lovely shots.
There's a really nice shot.
Uh, heretics have too many alts to lose this round.
If you're a coach, would you lean more into America or EU style?
Can I have a third option of Pacific?
I'd rather lean into that.
As a player, just some freedom to go and wreak havoc.
The silent killer, time and time again.
Like I said, this isn't necessarily reactive. Liquid have a game play. You can see they've worked on a lot of these synergies, a lot of these set pieces, and they've really, really intricate, but executed so well.
Third option is China. I mean, China must be pretty good at double drill this meta.
Yeah, they just chill on this one look at how much space they get bro. That's one or out of them as well
Tp go take all of this space God
What's going on the perfect reads mate don't get to green
Playground at me who's keeping him up Bay
It's a slur to go out of the ball for these girls and shirts
I mean you can be greedy if you're doing that though, especially with some of the concerning performances. We've seen
looking in total control
Seven oh lead Nats just I mean
Just but to find boot on the second again mini book
this aggression
Haha, he's loving it man
He's been the scapegoat a few times and
showing him able to
and he was talking when we were discussing previous
how many autos did he get out of them?
Was it only the fatal?
is in turn making me more confident to make my own decisions and play my own game and
you play a game the way that he wants to play as a poster. Again, whether or not they've
sent any pressure previously in terms of... The system did work for him. It is fantastic to see
for Miniboot to find his own footing here and kind of show that, you know, he can work in
other rosters as well and now on his own he's proving that value there. And again,
You've got a great IGL to go to, you've got Nats ready to go, building you into a great player,
you've got good supporting systems, I mean Camo's been outstanding, you look at it,
it's not all on his shoulders now, there is a lot of kind of strain shared across the team.
The heritage second time ever. Yeah, you can one shot everyone, dude that was a lovely round though,
they did them so heavy with the AWP. Their chance of Santiago slipped through their fingertips.
Called perfectly the other rotate. It's almost a dot on the horizon at this point.
yeah seven rounds behind liquid here on behind that's gonna try and manipulate the
finances here as best you can does that have a scope and only light shields on
the other side some investment yes camo flash through
down that whoever shot that Gekko flash completely on them
it was so fast
they're so prepped for this one, they're so so prepped they're ready for everything
also one of those with the Gekko flash
I don't forget to see it from the POV of the person that shot at
but you know it has that wind up time it's throwing it like a little too close to the wall
Scoreline and in round at this point and as you said you rarely see those smiles from that, but he hasn't stopped beam in the whole time
It looks like when I'm sure it did look like when shot and then read just until the fast guy
He's a little too close to this
I thought such a loss of a player that they had as well and as it stands.
So it's sunshine and rainbows?
Yeah.
See heretics burn up both timeouts now so effectively in limbo we'll rely on the calls in game here come back.
Forced off very early.
Banana, Benji, it's a big change up from him.
Benji, boo and come back. Speak it up Benji.
Benji.
He's a hero.
He was before.
In a position to potentially do something filthy.
Here's a test of the Reads once more for Liquid.
You can see it, but he's still going to do damage.
Great work from Benji.
He's going to at least drop a couple bodies, try and put in a shift for himself.
Ruth waiting, going to try and play this out.
Has he been spotted?
Oh my god.
You're going to die!
in boot still with an ultimate not much in terms of tools here for liquid but
faster work with them per poke right here
who has all
they're sending get the try and actually clear out here
and combo and there's no one there as well actually they're so ready for
everything man they're cool to be off the site it's every single all has
been for nothing so far
Boo the 1v3!
Gamer, you spared one of them.
But he's still got two more to find and it feels impossible.
Look at the reposition from Miniboo as well.
Oh man, this is brutal!
Oh my god, I'll fit just before half as long.
But I'm sure he's gonna find one, still trying to put on the good fight here.
No time as long as he plays it wrong.
Blazing as well, he's good!
Time is gone!
The cleanest!
They went through their whole all-cycle and they didn't get a round.
But just...
Yeah, they're way...
Maybe they put some numbers up here, but unfortunately...
It's not around on the board.
Nine for Liquid now.
Again, that's another.
So well considered approach here, maybe running rings.
And that's just looking at me, just so methodical.
Just easy pickings for him.
It's another round, let's come on Shadowrun, puff and boo.
Woof.
Haha.
I mean, they could definitely skydog brimble
Like the best combo for dealing with the Viper
Guys, it's really late on that man, everything wore off
Oh, they missed that window.
Oh, big crouch, by the way.
He's going to double-vot a crouch, though.
Feel pretty doable.
Yeah
He's ever way too much fun
How are you meant to do this one?
Are you ready for this one?
That was incredible, I knew he was still going.
He is putting on a really good shot!
Dude, look at him against his ex-team.
Oh, guys, 15 and 4, he's absolutely given it.
Lap it up, 10-0!
Well, it was important games, he said.
This means the most to him.
And he is delivering.
Gee, that one is...
Now you can see it.
Some of these...
There's confidence, bro, there's a nightmare.
uh... john scott with a one thank you so much for appreciating me
after the 19 months
hahahahahaha
the miniboss
of this moment
double digits
running out of ideas
it's the crunch again let's see
oh that's a lot of investment
it doesn't get much for it though
they can't force through a brim what guys can't force through a brim only surely
the pressure mini-boo continuing this guy is on a heater we're gonna try and take a little
of damage on the way out but no barely scraping by the look at the HP is just about recovering
let's see how it stands yeah why not come back so the side for that silver
oh my god actually i'm gonna make that for a 3v2 benji and come back clear the front side
they've gotta know that they've either slipped towards long enough to go around the world
can they put that together fast enough
What? Dude, what happens? What happens? Was it a team flash? It had to have been a team
flash. It had to have been the most savage team flash. I can't believe they're forcing
through this because he's jumping over it as well it's actually taking no damage
it's like 30
yeah it must look so weird from that POV
have been insane timings like team flash and then they didn't hit a sound of the dash.
I think you're right.
Bro, they're just running at them.
Oh my gosh.
It's a savage high up, man.
The stuns are never ending yet, it looks horrible to play against.
I'm telling you neon at the moment man. If you got a good neon, it's so strong right now
Neon Rint win rate really high chamber win rate really high
Shakey thank you so much for the tier one appreciate that. Thank you the 30 months. Thank you. Thank you
I think by with the boo family. I hope you guys are enjoying this just as much as we are first of all
Thank you so much for taking the time to join us you're now watching the game
One of your brothers is probably going to win I mean 11 to 1. How do you feel right now?
We're feeling very strange. It's new feelings for us
Then one team winning around we
Happy on the other hand we a little bit sad, but we always will be
and I'm assuming you guys also must be very proud that both of your brothers are able to compete at such a level when it comes to sitting here supporting them having all these mixed emotions what are you guys going to do tonight as a family to celebrate?
great. Today, I think we go for a good dinner. Okay, that sounds absolutely good. Thank you
so much. I'm going to let you guys go and enjoy the rest of the match and casters room
behind back over to you guys. Melly Melly, thanks much for the two ones. 36 months.
Michael, how do we feel? Yeah, I mean, get the merch out there. Yeah, literally, literally,
let's get a little collab going. Love that. But 11 to one, obviously it is a rare occurrence
to see these two in any scenario facing like this but
Kim Tan is offing for the promo so thank you thank you
and by a large margin Miniboo is sending a hell of a message
yeah absolutely and again interested to just
hear his view on this series overall and to see this performance now
can you know it means the world to him yeah seeing an 18 and five currently
four liquid just two rounds away from seeing the deal
Um, overall, 2-1 on the pistols.
Again, it's just one damage left.
One damage left.
So they're approaching, and coming back to that same point, Lohan was discussing around
finding their identity, looking so cerebral in some of the, the post plans for me, just
something to sit back and admire time and time again.
Petrifying.
Taking my initiative and being very decisive.
That didn't start around as two body shots.
Yeah, actually catching a ton of damage there down to just 42
Heretics now stack up towards B3 members of liquid at the spot here from Wayne for sure
It's gonna be a pretty all in hip
Handling Wayne pretty well the next layer to this is pretty far behind but heretics
Nicely they call cow to this could be
They kind of got to go back and
long with numbers
I don't know if they thought they'd get away with the freeway ground.
There weren't enough bodies on site to make sure that happened.
Yeah, they kind of got caught trying to scale out. I guess I don't know what hindered them really.
Maybe a bit of utility or something, but it's given.
I think Wayne put a molly under window, but...
Yeah, they didn't fancy it, whatever it was.
So, purple and gnats of Miniboo still have a chance to break some hearts here, right?
This is the scariest factor that hope could be the biggest killer of Miniboo already going to take down one.
and
three one of the schools
and
one of this month
to
see liquid runaway with this one just yet
to
see expected to see
pretty rounded purses in terms of the comeback that's required here for heretics
and pun intended
one
A long road back into bind here.
So we're going around today.
Let's see how maybe Benji's still going to sit on the pistol.
I'll have to wait and see what they go for.
Just maybe on the sheriff on the other side, so very, very...
...proble purchase.
I think maybe even denied what he would have wanted there.
And it looks like he want to get this one done.
I'm just going to go in and I've actually done a good deal of damage there.
Ask me if Boo put on notice, 31 HP.
So it can get a bit dangerous.
That's the only scary thing if boo wants to keep that bulldog rather than switching it out
But again, they should be pretty on top of the fact that that's gonna be
You are not wrong these are opposing vipers the timings everything here he's heard this here we go
Here comes the call
Doesn't quite get the kill so that should be green light to go there should be comfortable now
And again, you've got Benji in a deeper position
you should be playing I don't think safe but again it is only a ghost but at this
point you kind of need to build finance in a better way than you want to snowball
as you can tell the confidence with liquid will be high so again just
try to miss it a lot to hunt it's a lot to hunt gunways you have to liquid again
you don't want to give away any extra progress on top of initially a couple
of rounds here they may concede
Yeah, because Rien's a comeback. Still behind halfway in terms of progress.
I don't know if anybody's going to go hunting here, maybe Rien's.
We only have the pistol, so...
Yeah, switched out with Benji, so...
Oof.
Went for it fair enough.
Uh, swinging a miss on that front, and maybe the one that's coming up...
Why isn't Gecko good in this matter?
Problem is with Gecko, it's majority of the time you need to combo with another flash.
So, that's like, a little hard.
Most people don't know the sky. I guess you could do it with Yoru, but it's honestly just the 20 seconds to pick up your U-Tool now.
Pick up your U-Tool is 20 seconds.
Just not great, really.
Gekko ult, yeah the Gekko ult is like no health now as well.
Establishing that consistency, but a long one with us. That's obviously being one of them
That's one of those
We had such high hopes for the teams and then going as said internationally and then it just white falling away from them
but
this point a
Whole new look to this roster
The pacey start for heretics rain
Simple in stance, but it works. Well, that's a nice early start
Hold on to Shower's wand, check the TP. I can understand her, it takes one to take the TP here.
Yeah, so it's like it's probably easier to get this plant done.
Hey, anytime Mini boosts, some kind of util on the Flory just runs through it.
What?!
I thought there's no way that he doesn't there's no way he's gonna see that
we saw like we've already used that time and time and seen he's actually
the star on the movie time and watch these split second decisions
and landing the neon on the way they look horrible to play against when they
in this. Oh Jesus Christ. There you guys are already here flaming.
Love this nine guys in it. Well
Bringing it back into the room. This is elimination
Oh
Dude nuts on Bounds
Not so unbinding the way they actually wrecked him.
King unbinds phrase.
They were just pissed off and not scores.
Trying to upload the board and then they go...
It's very, very obvious how liquid water proceed here.
impressed with how they looked today in comparison to before. And I have to say as well, map one
for Heretics, they also looked fantastic. I liked how they all swaps. I liked how they
came out. I liked the confidence. Yeah, I mean, Heretics just messed up. They kind of
initially messed up their comps. And then they looked like they messed up their roles.
And then they looked like they got caught midway through China, fix all their roles.
That's what it pretty much looked like. And then the calling of double jawless doesn't
look like it's something like that one. It's a big game for MiniBoo, Mum. So they got a lot of
work to do. We knew so much about this one, they fixed their abyss pretty fast.
We are formed from this team. A huge step in the right direction. I think they look like my endator, mate.
Okay, so for people that aren't in the know, this is where we're at at the moment.
Like we're down towards here. This will be a best of five. They're going to play Eva.
Fanatical Vitality, whoever loses this year.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, we got Pacific.
Best of three. Best of five. EMA straight after, Best of three, Best of five.
Americas straight after, Best of three, Best of five.
That's okay, because tomorrow, the day after that, same thing again.
Best of three, Best of five, Best of three, Best of five, Best of five.
Is it doable? Let's find out. We'll get a Transdream, it all.
Welcome everybody to the post plant. We are awaiting the players potential of 48 maps in 48 hours.
You're taking it very seriously. We're really proud and happy to see what happens.
If we if we feel really sleepy, I'm going to try and ask Mini to stream for me.
Performative mail final boss? Okay.
Accidental sub-a-thon. Yeah, it's a 48 hour sub-a-thon about doing anything.
You have to have it upside down. Of course.
But no one can tell because my legs in the way like I've come prepared
We need some um, I don't like coffee. We need some
We need some two-nose and some three-nose tomorrow
That's like that's your persona, isn't it?
Stay around for the interview and then we will
No, you guys are welcome to join. Come on on. Stand, stand by. I'm, I promise you.
Eat some flat wieners. I would take a flat wiener.
We eat them. Thank you.
Or they got mini boots in the soil as well. I don't eat that.
Uh, okay, hater.
Hello, brother.
What?
They're good in the jazzy. I really like this jazzy.
Alright, thanks guys. Thank you so much for joining us.
It's one of my favorite jazzy.
Maybe I'm gonna start with you. Your entire family was sitting here watching.
You said that this-
Did you have to beat him so bad on that last map? You could have like let him have a little bit of a chance
Honestly, I was just having fun and you know like I I didn't know who I'm playing against
I was just destroying but after the game and I saw their faces honestly like I felt bad
I don't know like inside the game. I mean that's didn't feel bad
You said going into this game that even though it's their map pick it was going to be even
better than Abyss, you kept true to that word. How did you know that was going to be the case?
Because I knew the comp. You're gonna play, I knew that I'm gonna play Neon with Camille being gone
well, so you know, that was expected. Yeah, let's bring up the Neon staff specifically,
because Tom, you highlighted earlier as well when we were watching saying that,
oh, this is the first time that we're asking. Yeah, you're the only guy.
Yeah. No one plays Neon on this map. Why? Why the Neon?
I don't know, like, because I guess that I'm good on Neon and we play to our strengths.
We heard a lot actually from the coach as well, saying that you guys are playing to your strengths
Just feel like this conversation of identity and strength with Liquid
That means that it's not the last time
The last couple of weeks, so to say here in K-pop
How has it been for you as well over like progressing from week into week into week
To see the change and to see the team improve and just in general all these positivity coming out
I mean I think you usually start working the moment you
and know what system in the team works, I think,
because that's usually what happens for the key co-fans.
For most of the teams who change a lot,
they try to understand around what they need to play,
what is the win conditions.
And I think first games, especially with Wayne not being here,
with not having opportunity to practice with him,
it did take a lot of time.
And I think right now, game by game,
we're just trying to,
we're understanding us more and more,
and we're just playing the game that we enjoy to play.
So last year, I don't know if you remember, you went into the lower bracket.
Do you remember how many games in a row you won?
I mean, we lost to FOOT and UPPERS, and I think we won 7.
I think it was 5 in a row.
5 in a row?
Are you sure?
I think it was more than that.
Because I think it's the same this year.
It's the same amount that you need to win again, 5 in a row.
I remember in Kikov we played the maximum amount of games possible last year.
I mean, but it feels like we never find the easy ways, it feels like I was just someone was asking me a few days ago
Yes, would you like it to be easy? I just I don't know what is easy
It's just every single turn even when it was in the short day
They always drop the lowers somehow would always drop the lowers
What do you just like to give as much viewership to the fans as possible? They get to come and see you
Yeah, I'm not sure why is it like that
But it feels like I mean it's more interesting than just having an upper bracket run and finishing in 3-4 games
Yeah, for sure. What did coming up next obviously there's two teams that you've already played that's that's gonna be the option to be there
I can't ask this to both of you. Is there any preference of who you would like to be playing?
Anyone you want to revenge on I guess is a better question. I just said it's on the 16th
It's always on the 16th. Was this the toughest one then?
Was was heretics the one you most wanted to be I mean I think in whole kickoff
I just wanted to play heretics and none of the other teams matter you know right now
I don't care
But you had to care cause you still know about her, right?
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, but is there anyone?
I mean because we played a lot of finals last year against them and they're just like fun team to play
Yeah
I mean I'm not sure I think I would say just vitality just because we didn't play them with the full roster
Okay, I'm actually excited for their game chronicle playing against past team. Yeah, I will be saying very interesting. Who's the better sentinel?
I said so these is my exact quote
I said I'm gonna put nuts in C because he's not played as good as I know that's can play and then today
You absolutely destroyed them. So I'm taking like 50% of the credit. Okay. Thank you
I think it's a lot about just the learning and just helping him here and there because
I mean you're coming to the VCT right and there is not much you can give to the person
you need to let the person express himself first rather than you push him to do that.
You need to do that.
I don't think that's the way you want to work with the athletes.
So we're letting him express himself, he understands himself more how he feels himself
here so we can help him more in the future. But I mean we give him some
advices how to make his life a little bit easier with the whole
preparation process and preparing on the stage also.
Do you think you'll continue forward with all the double-jewel stuff now?
Because it seemed like today that was kind of nasty, like everything that's
going on in the server. I think you and Camo especially, it looked like
considering they changed one player and this is obviously a brand new team,
you and Camo seem to have a lot of synergy almost comparatively where
where they may be struggled a little bit more.
Yeah, I think like me and Camille have good synergy together
and I enjoy playing double duelist with him.
And about the question going forward,
I like honestly, I think we don't know yet.
Like, you know, like when the time comes,
like you're gonna solve that, you know, question.
Maybe you're gonna go double duelist,
maybe not like for now.
Triple duelist?
Maybe.
Well, let's go.
Let's go fight that double duelist.
Yeah, but who gets waylay?
You get waylay.
I'm the only one who has champ experience
Oh, okay
That's how it's been decided
