If she wants to show you something, okay, back, back, and down.
Can you guys hear the stream?
Oh, this is my music.
Look what the fuck is happening.
Oh, my God.
I'm like, what the fuck is this?
Like, wait, who's playing this shit?
I don't know what's going on.
He's been reveling up all tournament in his final form.
It's come on.
MC wants to show you something we're at on our stream.
in his battle for his 8th appearance on the global stage, I tear out the blood of
I'm not sure if this is the right way to go.
Alright, we had a-
Oop, why'd he come up here?
Why'd he come up here?
compared to NA
I don't know
What the fuck is happening here? Is that a DJ?
on Valorant so we mostly just focused on like chit-chatting you know what am I just talk about
like are you guys break-bending being so like funny shit we saw the only thing that he spoke to me about was
like he had a chat with Phil and they went to the sauna together Austin didn't join them in the
sauna yesterday but Boaster and Phil did go in the sauna who's Phil and they had a little
Oh my god, my VCC YouTube title says VCC pick up
gave him my thoughts on what happened.
Yeah, Tarek is here.
Yo, OK, wait.
I need to show Tarek something.
Where is he?
I need to show something, but how do I do it?
Maybe I can link it to him.
Tell him I'll link it to him after this map.
Also, Tarek, if you want to watch together, I'm here.
I need to show something maybe after this map.
So then like, I need to show it to you to get your,
I need to react to something.
It's about you.
I need your, I've been sitting on this for a couple,
for a couple, for like a week.
What?
So after this, after, okay, it's Breeze.
Breeze is not mad too, Liquid shows Breeze.
And they ban Ava.
Why?
Okay, I'm down.
Okay, noice.
Noice.
I
How that works for many of you and how he's able to snowboard from that on Twitter or here
Oh my god, the last thing I sent Eric was a pronunciation
How to say say a Chinese player's name
There's not a Chinese player it's fucking con con
You got mad at me for calling can't king
No cosplay today, what do you mean cosplay? I was walking yesterday. I was at the doctors
I
Don't
What's up chat
Pickles
still work and do not forget as even though this is the best of five and
technically the last day of the tournament it's a it's a final but it
kind of feels weird because it's like and there's been a lot of a
play in between the time to prepare is close to none
yeah i have to what happened dang i'm sorry what happened hello
that has obviously been hello it's an angel oh my god no not angel anyone
but angel
okay so uh wait watch the box sorry i was just not even like is there anything crazy right here or
no is this what people would say to you when like you messed up and they're like why did you
know what you're doing yeah yeah i have to watch every single moment or i'm a bad guy
that's okay because the worst thing i can say when you're like because you're like quite
I'm family friendly, I'm talking about dicks all day
Really? We're popping our pussies over here. Oh shit. She actually ate family friendly
Wait, when was the last time you popped your pussy?
Uh, last night
I was twerking at the club last night
I'll put a mic
you to say
So you didn't watch the fanatic gentleman's game yesterday, nah, but I heard it was a banger
for gentlemen
They threw oh my god
Who's Wayne that guy's been here
Oh, no, I haven't seen some of these guys play
Like his first couple games was a bit, you could tell that he was getting abused a bit, like teams were going to his site, I don't know if it was on purpose or not, but he was getting a little bit more.
Did they press tab, they saw him bottom fragging and they started hitting his site?
Yeah, I mean, boaster gets that every game, so, you know.
Now, Boaster's not fazed by the scoreboard, he's boasting the game.
Bro, he didn't even get home till like past midnight last night, it was rough.
Well, matches in the youth are hella late, right? It's like 5 p.m. over there
Right now it's six, but they're game started yesterday
like
4 4 30 and he didn't get him to like midnight. It was crazy. That is crazy seven hour freaking. Yeah
You think they gotta be they gotta be kind of exhausted that was a long match yesterday
Yeah, I
Mean you are the club so I don't know how you're probably more exhausted than they are but like back-to-back
BO5s is kind of rare
Yeah, but would you rather play back-to-back BO5s or be at the club?
Yeah, the club on my pussy
Here we go chat
He just walled up and got boaster aim in.
Double do-it.
3v3, okay.
Alpha, big kill.
This map it seems like his home turf of growth out beer has given them the advantage
Nats is clean
Because I don't know this guy. I will either chat volumes low. Okay
He just needs to that better
Plants certainly not ideal for him gotta get a move on now with the smoke down suspects a player
And having great reason for the cash goes into while he actually jumped in
No, I just sit on my stream. I don't know because that well either
either
You come from the same descent
John Pierre you said or John P.M
Good fanatic have looked them because of how do you think they've got the side
Yeah, well the jump here is a little name. His first name is so long. I see that's insane. Yeah
Yeah, he's got classy fun. Yeah, and he's true to friend pretty much tear apart
Good to be on gentleman soon
If they were ever gonna play this game, this is the way I like to play it this round, though
And now he just rolls off and he's at it's kind of fucks
And let's get an exit so I'm guessing I'm doing any damage at all
time to ask and tell him heading into the spotter and like obviously you can touch on this map but
without the view of overall it's gone down where i know we spoke before the game you said
is audio good now are you sticking with that now yeah i i think especially the first few maps
i'm a little bit you might be the most american i know terrick holy fuck i think bind i leave
bro but it's definitely a definitive abyss i'd say it's fairly heavy if it goes on culture
dude I think that's where it starts to get more interesting I think that would make me
make me an American I'm Turkish dude focus now wait so I'm gonna piss me off
he's been sticking wait Wayne yeah yeah it's fucking two times right there
allows him to be that little bit more aggressive use some of that in the main
I
They got their teams already stand it early. Yeah
All games got number one seed, right?
What do you mean like you can practice fuck
Okay
I was like there must be more than this I'm eating the bait every time. So I just woke up man
They're going right through the smoke
on A that they fought for with that wall a couple of times now and they're conditioning
their approach. Somehow I'm up with two. Purple doing his best to pull this back, but they're
stuck up close. And he like with me. I mean, this aggression and they have sending
boaster into a clutch. The first already found, but the spike down in the open
Oh
What a crazy fucking strap from a liquid I just fucking sent it down mid
Yeah
I barely let him home yesterday.
You let him in the house?
Yeah, yeah, I was like...
I gave him a pep talk before he got in the house.
You're like, you're just straight in the fuck out right now.
This is through 2 fighty 2s!
They are my god.
On map 5?
On map 5 and map 3.
Man...
Can't even bring that up.
You might not even be needed coming through that smoke as close as the head refresh what's your timer out right now by the way 12
11 10 your timer 9 8
7
1
You're the professional nah, I just I just kind of show up
Yeah
Is that a word for saw?
It is still liquid to extend.
What?
Nothing, let's watch the game.
What kind of foresaw? Like foresee?
Chat? Is that a thing or no?
out I think fanatic will have a smile on their face coming down to that round but
all things considered that's a pretty big win just getting the rise out I think
four saw four sakin four saw four sakin four sakin's coming to Zendals
just an immediate fight forward constant pressure being put on
there's so aggressive you're expected to flee fall back the game's an A pack
and you are so different what do you mean like it's because
they're being aggressive because of the player's fanatic
as in fanatic pretty much everyone else has come to
realization that w game is the is the w game bring the fights of them
Yeah
Like on defense
If we get four rounds
I wish they had the right idea though. They're holding far back and waiting for the aggression. It's just somehow Liquid is still pulling it off while they're waiting.
Nice flashes. They got a good waylay. They're shooting.
Yeah
Like towards the end of the series
Sometimes it's huge is just not shooting that's what happened to the hugs you did yesterday
They just got like mouth by NRG. They were not shooting back at all
What do you mean what I mean?
Like what do you mean what's like 100 feeds yesterday?
100 feeds versus NRG.
Oh you mean, I didn't.
I just woke up, I see it now.
I mean they're looking better this season though.
Do you know what this reminds me of?
Yo we got a stopp!
Fight cow 9?
2018? You know about that shit?
You're cultured like that!
Yeah we want a audience and we want another comment.
We! Who's we?
Not sharing that with me, it's 2v2 by the way.
A big mistake there.
Now he's working on now.
I just wanted to make sure I wake you up.
Well, you're gaming and sometimes it's hard to let go.
They've given guns over.
Fnatic were happy to play much more than they ever did.
Wait, what's your, is it 105?
104?
I'm gonna be bolstering the clutch again.
Yeah, yeah, 103, 103.
Boaster wins this, we're popping bottles tonight.
It was a bait to try and.
Again?
Yeah, I'm down.
Okay, I'll give you five
No
He's just had an inkling and some of us shorty there twice
Also, what's got into mini-boo ever since you that fight is how our hair takes he's looking a little different
Wait
I feel like he shot once and then boaster walked in they saw him.
I was like, I don't know, I was a little unfortunate.
Five to two, five rounds straight from Team Liquid here.
This is the map you almost keep to Fanatican.
Oh my god, he's going through this for sure.
Oh my god.
I've come through the wall there.
I was wondering if he could see.
Why are they trying so hard?
It's actually bears. Oh
Remus
That is just a crazy thing to do by the way
He goes down mid with his hand there and they brimble into spawn like what the fuck
No, we don't see this shit in America's I'm telling you it's a different ballpark. I'm telling you
The shit I've seen these last couple days
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how America is so good because I watched these guys and they look way better
I'm not crazy to say that but I guess we have a couple of good teams and that's about it
Well, I don't know if I'm like under
Like selling America's but whenever I watch EMEA in Pacific I'm like
Oh, god.
I'm like just impressed, I don't know.
Maybe I'm just used to America's dollars.
Oh my god.
The casting is going crazy by the way. Holy fuck.
They're actually cooking.
Very cool. We throw this 5v2 again.
Yeah, I think this is fine. This one should be a show.
We threw a 5v2 yesterday on this match. On matchpoint.
It was...
On matchpoint?
Yeah, on matchpoint. Sorry, on matchpoint.
On matchpoint we threw and then on matchpoint we threw again.
I think I've done that way lately five times through middle
No, not through middle not through middle into the brimote like that definitely not we've done it over a name sure
And if they have clip it and I'll send you a hundred bucks
Not on corrode, but I'm buying what are we saying?
not on corrode but on bind what are we saying I'm obviously talking about
corrode
smoke's not gonna stay around forever
and this was mentioning as well though but right here while this might oh it was
on bind that was a crazy thing to say this map act like it never happened in
the world no that's not what I was seeing I'm just I was just seeing like I
haven't seen that on this map but also I just feel like I see a lot of newer
players.
His vice already is actually insane.
Okay, so I said by one is four.
We got four.
They do have four, they're actually starting to cook, yeah.
I, um, what do you think about the, what do you think about Vice?
It's quite controversial in the NBA to play Vice.
I feel like Vice is a good-ass anchor, but...
On a very, very rare.
On Corotas, where we've seen Vice, outside of Corotas, I don't know if we've seen much Vice,
recent times, not really, uh, I think alpha is just an interesting one. That's true, for
alpha to be on vice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are fanatic one of the only teams that are running
us though? Yeah, pretty much. If we win both of your insoles, we'll make you boy of the
week
Who's the best
Oh my god, the fact that it's on the crowd as I find it
If he wins today, he will de facto give all of the week, this Sunday and normally do a Sunday night, the uh, the ceremony.
I see, isn't it on stream ceremony?
Not always, but I do tell chat, like, who gets it.
I see.
First, uh, first I did get a 3-mature reward, you know, that was a good round, that was a good round.
Most of you can be a good boy.
Yeah, if he wins.
But again, Fnatic doing what Fnatic does best, these slow rounds, figuring out the map, looking for openness, giving Kayak opportunity.
to try and find a pick with the operator.
Wait on the other side though, it's just like
when you can pull a wall down, so can I.
I'm just gonna, again...
Yeah, wall down walls.
That's what this sage is almost perfect for.
Let him fight forward, let him use those slows
if anybody tries to make a pacey hit.
And then let me make it more awkward for you.
You have to break this wall, otherwise
walking through this gap, it makes it very easy for me.
Yeah, and the wall at one minute,
I mean this is just gonna give you so much information
they've broken it so the word player's outside
And team liquid happy to sit down on that control push up towards the man as well take that deep
They really love loving that running that clock down
Yeah
is for team liquid as a result that third man
fighting in the rain has caused it to come crashing down for fanatic
purple made a play also in maximally where the fuck did i come from holy shits
two minute seconds him trying to jump out of the way to flash his opponents and then landing
both shots in that split second because even though it would show like look 10 seconds on
the court here eight as he goes for the kills if he dies there they still get a bomb that's
Oh
My what's perfect, that's why I was saying that we're all fucked up I'm all you come from
Prepare yourself now. Can you touch 20 seconds? Okay? I know for that
But yeah, it's just crazy to see I'm still doing it. I guess like in she said
Wait until 20 seconds that I see this really not the play. It's definitely a different style to bear here today
Hey, as you said that quick turn around on the competition
Who's the equivalent of this in CS?
That was like, uh, was that VP or am I tweaking out right now?
Yeah, again, it's his kind of a bait.
It is literally bait.
It's you're going to fight.
I shouldn't have, it should have been some sort of retreat plan,
but that plan wasn't taken.
And then you've left miniboot.
The problem is he now feels like he needs to be killed.
Game time?
Otherwise it's just untrated and you fall on back.
I feel like VP comes to my mind.
Even if there was a trap in play, if Fnatic avoid it now,
They really don't care
This time they wait outside that wall again last time you broke it they rotated in pretty quick they waited so now
Yeah, I forgot about
Creation of mini boost still sees that third player here and now a danger in this corner the judge
That's really cringe
Oh
Here we go again
things as they break through this smoke with the flash it will be the same as the past!
Jean-Pierre!
He said it's still Vaughn Jean-Pierre!
Still Vaughn Jean-Pierre!
I mean I've only been here for five minutes but yeah I'm down.
I
Yeah
Holy fuck to have fire
If liquid aren't running it down they lose
Yeah, well, they're not running it down. Yeah, now they're running it down with now close this round
Every time they run it down for that it goes
Oh my god, oh my god, we're absolutely ridiculous rounds
Yo, yeah, it has become a bag. I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I mean just merging to the same reason
No, our team did worse. I think our teams are not as high quality.
As an AIPAC?
No, no, no. Some of our... we got proper bottom dwellers.
Who's the bottom dwellers at EMEA?
Your body knows.
Who's the worst team in EMEA? I'll tell you the worst team in America's.
Who's the worst team in America's? Probably gotta be Laugee or... fuck.
Actually, that's not how this conversation never mind.
Yeah, no, I do yeah me a I think I kick off it was probably
Maybe foot the foot bomb out the hardest
But in Casey just looked sad
But the only reason I'm not saying Casey the only salvation I give Casey is they look good
But then they just decided they didn't want to win anymore
They were like, okay, we don't want to win anymore. They just rolled over and died interesting must be a coaching issue
You think
They have N.
Then who?
N.
Oh, N.
That's an actual player or coach.
I see.
How much did you have to drink last night?
I mean, I was the only couple of classes,
a couple of Grey Goose.
Did you pay?
Of course.
I've had more than a thousand.
I don't know if she actually thinks I'm what I'm drinking, I think I'm drinking.
But I'm down to keep playing this narrative.
I do feel like I'm fucking hungover with this.
I do think fanatic will expect to those aggressive plays a little bit more now they're on the defensive side
I would probably have better setups for it as well on their defensive side
So I think this is where it definitely gets a bit tougher for liquid. Obviously, again, they got zero rounds
Should I do the halftime performance? Oh, it's already halved
There still needs to be more in the tank, but I said this comp has been far more impressive, more exciting
We're talking into them on this map, so if there was ever a time
There's a number how many sets of abs should I do to finish my gym sash?
How many sets of abs you should do two workouts four sets of each you got this?
some light
Running on alpha
site that's clearly where they want this fight to go at least from the perspective of fanatic but
as we can see there's something else cooking here from liquid and although boasters getting suspicious
he will be the only one on that side of the map when five players come bursting through the gates
uh i don't expect him to do much of this time bozer i'll see if he can get one it would be nice
but yeah he's he's sitting all the way back hoping to try and maybe just hold on to some of the
space that I'll be a bigger issue they lose full control over the wall oh my god
no yeah he's just walled him up in the smoke I think oh my god
the ghost was in a sneaky spot too a little bit no not quite never mind
not quite prepared but mini move to be that aggressive in the last two only just getting
I'm just getting into position. It's too hard now, but one kill. Two. Still two more to go.
That's right. That's tough. Yeah. Eight to five with a pistol already under the belt of
fanatic again. You know, if this was the second pistol for Liquid, you'd go with that
kind of explains the. I've seen Jemkins interview in tweet. I just woke up so now.
This is very worrying.
Damn.
Has Minibu been insane since he joined the liquid?
Wait, why does that guy look like Blau for a second?
No joke, Blau and a liquid jersey.
Just set up the things like he's the most disruptive player. I think I've ever seen
Jemkin said the APAC PCs are shit and they can hear the casters through the headsets
W crash out because you got eliminated
They'll be you crash out from Jemkin bro
What losing 3BO 5s that's gonna motherfuckers
Apparently Jemkin crashed out did you see that
I did but I'm
The whole head front thing he's not the first
For
Like yeah
That's if it's true that's fucked but it's funny
It's definitely a crash out though because they lost so many fucking deal fives
Yeah, it's pretty sad.
What's happened here?
This should have been a nice clean one. This should have been very easy. You've just lost yourself.
Three players. What just happened?
That was a couple of SMGs gone.
Okay, it's not the end of the world, but one rifle goes with it.
I have a breakfast burrito. When should I start eating it?
I'll wait till after this map, fuck it.
Yeah, especially with the initial fights.
Yeah, no water. Love it.
They did a remarkable job.
I need to see what happens here.
He was
Versus to there should have been no damage from this point forward. I guess a lot done, but then
It's he can just do things that
Yesterday he was playing on the stage, and I was watching him stream as well. It was really weird
Christy was how he did that. What super positioning. That's a
There's a pun I'm missing here. There's too many puns flying around. I'm like fucking uninformed over here
nine to five brown 15 C's liquid pick up the pace straight into
this big catch. Is it go running?
It's looking like you out there. Find the red.
Two losses damage done to Wayne. It's almost taking him out of
around HP clutch. High healed. Yeah, there's the heal at
least. He's also got some coming in from sky. So back
to reasonably decent health but man advantage doubled up
on. It's never fucking over.
Oh my god
Kind of serious talking about it still feels kind of scary even if they're men advantage
Yeah, he's got to be tall to his fuck
As you cosplay as trashies
She often a fucking rank match
I don't even know
No way! He's out of there!
That's madness!
That just pissed me off a little bit.
Yeah, Purpo can get healed back up and then he can heal us to the other player.
That's ridiculous.
I don't think that's something that they've meant to about too much.
You dressed up as Cassius, you literally became Cassius?
You have a guy dashing...
Hair and makeup?
Oh, I gotta see that.
...run through the smoke and find a pig.
Kyra's now gonna try and beat the Madaro gang, but Purpo's just waiting on the other side.
Who the fuck is Purpo?!
Forget about Wayne!
He was on a few teams. I'm surprised you don't know him.
No.
He was on Giant Sex before.
If they didn't play at International, I probably don't know them.
I don't think he has.
Oh no, he did. He was at Giant Sex.
Giant is actually at International?
Oh no! I cut the sign!
Yeah, they made two champs.
Like champs 25 and 24. They're 23.
I
Want to say he wasn't memorable, but I remember his name now
This is a terrifying
Thought experiment really when you expand that to bind where liquid will be I think here without a doubt be more comfortable than this
But I can't even visualize what that would look like they look so at home
They need sandals? That's probably what I forgot.
First you just as Christ I'm gonna look after this map. I'm looking after this map
I can't believe he's stuck away before a kayak a trade that's actually crazy
All good
half of it is the mental warfare no joke or even more than half probably
gameplay is only 20%
oh my
oh he's fucking surrounded
He reveals his hand
Just to double down liquid knowing how important it is to crush fanatics economy and to find themselves that 11
We're doing this yesterday as well.
Which part of it?
We were totally just saying.
Yesterday they weren't checking corners,
they weren't accounting for opposition's old sort or
loot or something.
They were 2v2s, but they were just running like,
like melons.
And then he's flashing, I swear he's playing Phoenix.
He's just pop flashing every time to go for these
aggro picks.
The difficult part about this is that you can almost
just all in on that A play now.
You just call the time out.
It's very hard now.
fucking alive it's very hard because they have so many ults on uh... liquid
conclusion of your team liquid of
and their econ is fucking thriving
it might not necessarily be to put alpha there but you have to imagine
it's either some defense or some defense on that side of the map
but then it becomes the mind games
if you're fanatic you're going
well we're taking a pause to deal with them on A
so now they'll go B
and so then you maybe you change nothing
just becomes like your mind game I want to see liquid go away again I think
that's the because realistically if it goes wrong you go yep that they come to
try one of our other strats if they don't stack it up and you still win it's
hilarious but well we now get to see where the mind games have landed that's
the fucked up side I wouldn't personally show that right now
actually the winner the problem is what is that we didn't consider still the
the worst bubble he's trying to be
the bias allegations
god damn
you gotta still have ideas when you come into them
but the fact that liquid
likely to hit that 12
whatever was discussed better be an air type strategy
might go into the gym or nah
like right now i can't
and then not actually send anyone there
it's just, well i think again
they're playing passive early
to see as you said what their opponents are doing
are they going aggro, are they taking space
Trying to trap us somewhere
But the fact is
Fanatic actually on doing this word that they play like this hard defense style
That liquid was just have their way with them, right
Like they didn't even default
Yeah
Coming through connector and set assuming that the strut the trap has been put in towards a main
But instead or what?
Fucking oh my god
Yeah, who do you rather remove way later neon
12 to 6 for Team Liquid 6 chances to close out a map that
Hell, I'm something that if I might not have tuned in, they would just assume
We're gonna win the first with ease. Well, the shoe's on the other foot here.
Yeah, and then a lot of the time you're gonna go into those first vetoes and go for your
strengths. I do think there's some...
What? About being compared to Neon? What?
Most people would probably say they would rather remove Wayland, huh?
But I think it should be neon
Like the way I double-dashed refractors fucking insane
One's breaking my boys dogs that fending for himself out here
That's
Oh
This is a hard retake, it's a very hard retake, Kamen's gonna get a fucking kill and get us all up to the cover.
Wow, Liquid are looking as good as fuck.
They get 0 rounds on defense or am I tweaking?
Wait, you fucking lied to me.
Bro, I didn't realize they were gonna be like this, I'm not gonna lie.
Was it 0? It was 0, right?
Maybe I jinxed them.
You can get a jinx of shit out of them, this is like crazy jinx.
Wait a minute. Oh my god.
Give me one second. I need to deal with a degenerate chop-up.
Okay.
Damn. What happened here? Who's map is this?
Damn. She just pulls up right after the game like that and grabs a player?
map we saw very aggressive come from you guys on on game post was just thrown into the interview
off again that's kind of sick i'm not gonna lie just running at them and throwing flashes and
is that you plan from up to as well i mean honestly we just see that we are going to lose
carots so we just decided to run down this model so that's it run it down and
end up winning congratulations and good luck from up to thank you so much yeah hella aura
I'm scared
How's he mogging on me like that?
Boster face not good
Let him forget about five years he played the game so he will remember that day. Okay. Oh my god
Yo, what is gotten into Nats bro? What the fuck? I thought Nats was a good guy. Nice guy, dude
What is brother's talking about right now?
bro
Who should I like traumatize him?
Have a break have a kick at okay. W kick at what wants in a web home break
BAMOS!
WKK, but I like when the the ads actually incorporate people in the scene
Because I feel like Dennis like you know, it's not just fucking a Toyota out of the fucking car going around, you know
Oh, I need to show you something now one sec. Wait, I'm gonna look at your crash these roleplay
There's a cult Twitter. Yeah, you see
You look more like some or crashes you look like some or crashes there
Yeah, I'm gonna send you something on this. Will please react to it. Okay, that was crazy
Cosplay
Already saw this I
Saw this
I did watch I did
That's some crazy out-of-pocket shit. I said I was like I'm gonna suck the fuck out of boaster or something like that
I
Does anyone have my reaction to it
Nothing like some buster away, they're not gonna lie kind of heads different
He meant it as well
He wasn't showboating me
No, no, no, he was legit being serious. I mean, I love boaster. Wait, I gotta find you my reaction. Hold on
Let me see my yeah, I didn't realize you reacted to someone linked it. I guess
Oh, here's a clip maybe okay. Here's my reaction when I first saw it
Did you watch the foster major? Oh
I'll be tiny
One of the greatest time I'm gonna suck you drive. I'm sorry
You got me fucking blushing out there, dude
Like a fun fucking break up a shit right now remember how close it was break up after he aced. I'm bricked up after hearing that
Oh my God. Wclip though. Wclip. What inspired the crashy cosplay?
Wait, wait, wait. You want to listen to this, the coach thing?
Oh wait, what is this?
in this whole bracket. How do you decide when it's the right time to take this risk and whether it'll pay off?
I mean, uh, if they take these risks when you know they have a better world than us,
so we have to cook something that we thought it'll be more towards our strengths. I think
What is this? Sometimes it does. Is it an interview? When it does,
you got a genius. When it doesn't, you are dumb. So today, I think we are a genius.
We are a genius. Yeah. No, you are not. Evozinha's mentioned, what the fuck?
Is that a coach interview in the room?
Yeah, they send him a question, they read it off the tablet, they answer it.
That's so sick. I love how they grab the player after the match, even though for the players it's annoying.
Bro, I have such a hot take about that.
Oh really, what's your take?
I don't think I like it.
I think for the spectators it's amazing, for the players it's dog shit.
As a player, you get the fuck out of my face. As a spectator, yes, let's get more of this.
I feel like the player because they want you to get the fuck out of the face
They give you such like shitty answers like they'll give you like a like an incomplete answer because they just want to like get out
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so that's why I feel like it's it's it's such a
But they're low reward
But they are interviewing the winning team, which I feel like is on the high and they're more likely to
Like be okay with the interview. I would say true
I agree, but how do you feel about the fact that the opposite team like they just get to go so they can just like
It's only extra 30 seconds, right?
I mean Tara you have all people should know, you know, you could use the extra 30 seconds
Well, I don't know how long these guys are getting
Well, I don't know for these guys how long like their breaks are in between the maps is like 15 minutes, right?
I
Shit
But wait, you actually do think that you don't like it or no
I see I mean NCS they were doing the fucking
Losers interview which is fucking sick for terrible for the players
But the losers ones after the game though. Yeah, it was after the game
Yeah, I hear you I hear you it's like hey, they're in the middle of the series like you don't want to fuck with their flow
I let them go do their thing talk to them after the match, but as a spectator and that's what I am
I fucking love it. Yeah, but what if they just do it like a one-word answer like it was good
They give one word answers regardless into actually I will say I don't want to say that I was gonna say like
I'm just glazing too hard for yammy a but I feel like generally speaking the fucking players answering the interviews are giving like generic generic answers unless
It's like someone that's
Good at interviews. I guess. Yeah, I can't talk. I
Hate the we're gonna play a game. Yeah
Hold on then asking me to react to planning nats bullying boaster. Don't watch that
I watch it after MAP 2 that's all I ask.
I'm gonna watch it now.
Oh, fuck.
A long series yesterday that you prepped for the night before hours of long stretch bid for the team and has it impacted you.
Um, yeah, TPC is losing at best of all.
That way, it sucks, obviously, and it definitely impacted the mood, but we did.
I see the poster face, not the fully face.
I wanna see today, even worse.
I wanna see how would nothing ground him down
and this guy thinks why he plays Valorant.
I wanna see his face, so nothing he thinks of.
I don't even know why I started that.
What happened?
I keep nothing, forget about five years he played the game.
So he will remember that day, okay?
I'm sorry.
Wait, what happened?
What happened?
I haven't been, I'm sorry.
I've been like, I feel like I'm like gazed right now.
Does that make sense?
Is that a word?
Happy birthday to Teddy?
It's Teddy's birthday?
Fuck outta here, you're lying.
Now you want it?
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Is Teddy's birthday for real?
A day's haze, that's the word I'm looking for.
I knew there was an A's in there.
Yo, happiest of birthday to Teddy.
Holy fuck.
Teddy, I fucking love you.
Can we get a happy birthday, Teddy in the chat?
Is Teddy in the chat right now?
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Oh, yeah. Let me get a happy birthday teddy in the chat.
All right. We already did, but you don't know all this.
I did not don't know all you guys. I was just lost in the sauce.
We sung without you.
Okay. Now you're making me feel bad for no reason.
Liquid's not fake. So if anything, considering
Now you're making me feel bad for no reason.
I would not be surprised if you see something new.
There's no way.
No. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised.
let me get my burrito
to him i would say like oh yeah we're desperately trying to you know work on finding our identity
and then you come to know what a big song this is all i fucking wish i wish daddy's birthday is
three days before mine they're just in like this whole like liquid i feel like is approaching
this is like oh yeah it's this is another walk in the park in the middle of here in this lower
bracket for this entire time fanatics not gonna lock us out either fanatic never was an international
through kickoff why would this time be any different but i feel like from the fanatic
I mean how hard can Happy Bird down to the Tar-B right I can totally do it.
I'm not nice like that.
could be really important to liquid but now that fanatic has already been tested in terms of liquid just running into their face
We're not expecting them to adapt as well and to come into this buying with my alright. They keep going. They're so proactive
We're gonna counter that. I'll carry out that
We haven't done do we see any adjustments yesterday. Yeah, we're taking a fight to them leaving space
I put on the map fanatic was so slow to respond
There's another thing that elusive one that's is talking about you could see the boaster was flustered coming up with
Actors in the mid-round we saw a lot of player reaction yesterday
Where they were just shrugging their shoulders starting the hands. I'm a little worried for fanatic
Not gonna lie
That was a pretty dominant way
That's just like
us is do one piece of utility enough to disrupt our attack do we need more
utility do we need a change in calm do we need another friend stone yeah I
consider college before joining echo guides I want to one semester of college
yeah I was in computer science and then I dropped out when up they got signed by
it we get into a few rounds CLG one semester bro was I considering college
yeah I was considering it thankfully didn't have to consider it for long
Double dive that was working so good together especially when we speak about that the defense and pushing smells
I'll be scared if I was another sky's a little lost in terms of the methods discussion right now
But I think in terms of their approach to map one if they're just gonna really tap into camo being the second duelist here
Building around mini booze. Obviously, I thought it's kind of confidence. Hey a little bit of what he's talking about his gameplay as well
I'm at the smelling salt and that's locked in again on the speeches don't know which one it is this time round whether it's personal
Oh, I know EBS is spitting right now, it doesn't should be a life of a kid.
Gowl hit the dumpster, we can do this, or whether it's another one of the most
official on T2P, or whether it's being liquidized, come out of the game,
I don't know what you're talking about.
You're weird.
So incredibly confident, I want bananas to find that confidence back.
Yeah, confidence being keyed for me as well.
We kept talking about yesterday how it was consensate to boast that, actually,
it was on bind, being top fragged.
A couple of players weren't putting up a number yesterday, they absolutely need
to respond here.
They click over to continue with this aggressive approach to this series.
I want to see them cheer in for each other.
Someone on YouTube chat said, chat in Asia,
we eat home foods more than ordered ones.
Is that not the case for America?
Because whenever I see some streamers,
they most talk about taking out ordered ones.
Look, I love homemade food.
Homemade food my entire life.
But that changed the second I stopped living with my family.
That's all their feedback for now
are all sitting in their raised home chairs.
I was babied.
Now, I can barely crack an egg, OK?
So part of me wants to blame them
for not making me learn and then part of me knows that it's actually my fault
because they actually tried to teach me but I didn't want to learn so I was
playing CS. But no I mean I would say yeah I only ordered cuz I only ordered
whatever. Do a baking stream for my birthday? Munkah.
No, no, no
If you don't learn how to play a guitar you can learn how to cook
Good the nicest thing anyone's ever said by the way, I don't know how to play the guitar just to be clear
You know good is the only thing that has lost the fanatic in the grand finals
to stop this guy early. They need to remove some of that cold. Otherwise, yeah, I think
they get all right. Let's get a pistol on the face making. Maybe maybe maybe. Yeah,
the face is what you're going through. That's a joint face. Get that man to raise.
Well, team liquid zero zero starts out as barriers go up. They have already swapped spots
with the attackers. Maybe who loves going down deep. He's found the first blood
on to be cash. You know what, Mike? You wanted to see him on his feet. I don't
I don't think he'll be standing up, I was gonna say he was doing that to a chronicle, why would he fear doing that to anyone else?
Happy to run it down, happy to put the pressure on and to the attack side, we've always known that Fnatic like to feel out the map, they like to go looking, they like to find information
But you're gonna have to almost switch your style up a little bit just to stop the enemy from looking at the defense
For now at least, Crashies is trying to sell the idea that this is an A hit, but the other players are not looking like they're going that way
They got in that way
This is quite a clear light you're pronounced to rick or tariff hey standing by with the sheriff
Remember, they don't ever was a smile on your face dude already having that advantage to fall back as purpose still has a fly
They can play back into the retake fight out of a smoke take that from site control
Anybody's caught a bit in the open it already down to 50 revealed as well, but this is what it's all about waiting for that flash
They finally punished the motion
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god
There they are, there they are.
Is that a Valkyrie hoodie I just saw there? W?
I've seen a Valkyrie hoodie.
Horseman.
Big shots.
I love it.
I love it, but they gotta keep going
Wow
look to go down to that spike planted almost thought he was gonna TP out who's
the eyes y'all for liquid that's ever called you a fucking wanker or a twat
to your face probably yeah my face the crew can still take that body shot yeah
wanker in particular are used mean like something along those lines yeah yeah
they like they come up to the previous knocking wine I mean I've been pressed
before yeah more likely at a bar as well so if someone does it to you like on
stage like it's not deep no it is no I start chugging back for sure but I only
do it when the moment is right
yeah but y'all will still go to the alpha high and take shot
no it's all good it stays in the server yes it stays in the server 100%
I don't think any player should be held accountable for the shit they say in the moment of like
pulling the class and shit.
Yeah, there's definitely like a line to it, but I think, I mean I haven't really seen
anything for a while where it's like oh this person went too far.
Yeah me too, me too, I feel the same.
If people are making narratives out of the trash talk on the stage, I mean it's
stand fiction I think it's too like it's like that's like
kind of oversensitized a bit how his opponents have been playing and one of the things liquidated
one on the last map especially the attack was they avoided giving the people that are making
that narrative yeah yeah because I'm like bro the children are dying like no one cares
about some play or another player on stage yeah
Yeah, through special when it comes to that attack side
so often
Especially expected to be the case here
That show stopper to bring them into the site and it will be be that's under threat. W raise bacon
She does before though purple playing towards that elbow flashing out the delay of the snake bite
But a little different when that's going to
My god
Reveals and gives the pick away and now the pressure truly on the show stop waiting. What are you gonna do?
Everyone come everyone come seems to be coming easily
Okay, okay
Game sound up is the game sounds to love for you guys. Yeah, I think that's just good research
You look at the last map it's a crazy thing someone said to you about you on stage
I mean nothing new
I don't know read into and counted on the day. It's not that serious what they were up against until I saw it in that moment
I'm not sure but it's very different. All right. Nats has been doing these things for
However many years I got back to 20 21. He's still doing some of the stuff. I've never
Okay, that I can recall taking it personally like oh my god this guy says it's you on stage
I mean there probably is certain players that have beef, but I feel like for the most part it doesn't exist
I wish there would be more weeks
Nah
I
Know it's so important to see him bringing that energy up on the team because you can imagine how how low you feel after a 13
Six, you know, this is your last chance as well
You'll be watching Santiago from home and the energy's looking better
But in this perfect hole dude it goes to liquid
That's been the thing for
fanatic
Okay, sure you had to lock in where the first one I'm gonna be here
came with a trophy but in 2024 and 2025 they did watch from home until coming back at stage
wow look at him there the slow perfect
giving them this round is not looking great here many but incredibly low
more wanes play it could be fairly one-dimensional with him sat
holding onto hooker there you go juggler question is is there going to be any sort of recovery a
a little bit risky but oh good molly info found on the last
45 on the clock when push comes to shove a shame to lose that show stopper in the opening
duel that was so close the right idea by kayak but the wrong execution a flash
he's got himself too eventually passion's won me three here he comes again the man is on the
I'm serious, I'm serious.
find them one one round for Team Liquid. Yeah, I did much more of what we expected to see from them.
Some of this aggression that has caught their opponents out quite a bit, an initial firing squad
and then the reaction coming out from camera. That is the trouble with this composition is if
you fall into okay we lost a couple of rounds and play a little bit more scared you lose so
you don't have the ability to do that so the fact that Liquid still I'm putting this away
one sec. Fighting their opponents aggressively, still taking that space, not fearing away.
Of course, with Fnatic, they've still got plenty of credits to play with in this one.
And that shows up still available. Wasn't needed in the round prior.
Maybe used in an execute here to double up in Hookah.
Two in Hookah. Contact and then a second layer. The gun's been split.
Wait, that would have been the same way to bait that.
when he goes hinder landed into tp play from that's all you see this is our
strike and strike put down but oh my god down there yeah just far enough the
blast packs i think helped alpha but he's left on 30
from a kayak folding and that attempt to take
oh they are already so far but with alpha being picked off this round
looks like it's dead in the water boaster and crashies
left to pick up those pieces they're walking into the site that stacked as
well the first goes their way but now
That's the end of it
3k for Nats, the second round for Team Liquid and they're climbing back already
Nats is leaving the Vendor, is that normal?
Everyone switches the fan and he goes to the Vendor
It's just that reaction once again
I leave immediate aggression out from Kama to slow to the space and then Nats just
popping his way to the base
Kava still being held on the other side
It's just layers to the setups that they have
I
Didn't say 10% virus, but yeah, maybe I was wrong about it, dude
They're doing that thing where they send it on CC
Oh
Yeah, he's flying around the map literally
to go either round and it's just the sheer pace of this one like a showstopper in one way
an aggressive showers push the other way a spawn fight back in from the defenders and then it
all coming down to one be one where boaster has to take down me i could tell you he said come on
I could tell. I could tell him.
One of them in the hands of
Oh my god. Yeah, they ran away
from the the bark. Oh, the
covers a rifle and it comes out later especially for him
if this gets spotted that could be the spike down but the space is good
they've managed to slip two players back at this point you know all the info is slipping through
the fingers the team liquid they think they've got a good grasp on the situation but
i mean the gate crash from kaiak might be the only thing that hints at this play going back
in the other direction if it's even taken the exact thing
this camel thing he has a line for the fallback i wonder they've just left it on to many but
bear in mind he has nothing he he pushed from a right yeah he pushed from a and he thinks he has
been trapped in octagon but they've already snuck out but how are they even gonna get there in
time they can't take the tp that's been watched on the other side he's gonna fall slightly
it is a very fast find that's the problem yeah i don't think there's any worlds
And now they're being flanked once again. Panatic leaving things desperately low
They're just trying to delay for Kammer they're trying to give him space if he could drop the spike this round is basically over
He's gonna try and make that move
Everything of coaching literally like baseball
Who's Carcle playing for now, Vitality?
Well, I know about baseball, what do you mean? Minotani fucking chopped it up on the weekends.
more time yes yeah the decision from Cabo to say a little bit too long without
any you tell I'm going I'm many who's stung like him throwing that into half
by hero battle for you up here the same time the response is gonna be a pace
the attention showers push here but Alphia still has a rifle in hand needed
to fight but actually Kaia gets it and now could pick up that rifle for his own
they do have themselves a vipers if they can find space they know Benz is
the gap. Do they expect three? These guys are always forward on liquid. Look how forward.
It's always on the move. They're so fucking aggressive. These guys are always moving. Even
after their offense, they're just still pushing them. Like it's a good way to play against
You try and go pasty the constant pressure. Yeah, yeah
You don't have to come any
Now he used to do this thing like on fbx they would repeat everything like
Yeah
for fanatic to also have to slow things down again from it a three zero
No, I don't say that
Feeling that pressure
It does look uh, this is the other thing when you get into this map and off rip the energy's getting high
You're trying to lift spirits. Fuck
We should get a three zero start. Well, that seems like I didn't even have to be close
And then it starts to taper off and that's even harder to deal with is that
Return to the low energy returns. I watched elements fanatic. No, I missed it to get out of that
But I heard it was a banger. Martin
Fucking Paula famer after that day
The best of back what is it 220 kills?
here it feels like it's slipping round-by-round
Look at one fifty six percent of their bind retakes the best in the world
now's the time for fanatic to come up with answers
Yeah, it's a good time to do it as well. If I piss pit online all but to strike available
Nightfall there as well. That's
Oh
So the fanatic go back and re-clear or should they speed up be it seems like they're doing me either
Yeah, speeding up B feels right. Yeah, cuz they had you know, like they push through short like you can expect two or three there
But now we're going towards B but taking our time with it
Like to do a proper execute, but now we're just getting slowly
Pinched right the longer it takes the better it is for liquid. No, this is not good
This is fucking beautiful hold on
They might have the site but they need to get out.
And the damage done leads to Karpo with an opportunity.
A low HP kayak on the site.
The pieces can still be picked back up for Liquid
to continue this dominant run.
Four out of five rounds of kayak.
I don't think.
Passed the hero.
Yeah.
I don't think I like how it went down,
but it works.
So, you know, we take those.
Yeah
It's like everything is against them that round.
There's multiple guys flanking. They're stacked on the side.
They're absolutely sandwiched.
And they make it work.
Yeah, power of friendship.
Yep.
Yeah, 4A.
Now they're going to mid-round push it looks like, it's going to early push, not even mid-round
but it's a push, it's crushy to wear, careful my boy.
Help! Help it's in!
Oh my god that is scary.
The trades.
With my camera there the whole round last round, I'm so sorry.
Not glad.
That was the main fight. Now Nat's coming in on the flank. And they're still just baiting.
They're still trying to make him go for this. Make him take the one.
It's huge, huge, it's true.
Another bullshit round.
Yeah, it's just pure bullshit.
I mean, it's gonna be fair. It's not, it's like, all came out to trade.
It's like, look at her just bringing the fight. But yeah.
It was all gonna slip away. They found their rhythm again.
This guy would define us as fanatic, they're defaulting and they actually held low and like
reacted.
That's true.
Like they were, I think they were baiting the plant.
They were baiting the plant, you know, but they know that they want to fight us.
They don't want to plant.
Yeah, yeah.
And this time they pushed short, they reacted showers right away and flanked them, like
throwing that fight too.
Austin was a bit unlucky though.
He saw one guy ran away and it got skyflashed way late hindered and swung by two
Oh
Have a job. Yeah, he works for fanatic. It's like you got a great fucking job
Get in that tiny gap you left and win the round or in this one
It was just alphaca trading effectively into the late and then then baiting it
Okay, you want to surprise us you want to catch us on an off-peak or catch us while one of us planting
We won't plump. We'll wait for you
And those are the moments where I think this game is started spice up
Where he can call where he can change the outcome the charters rise generational insides whatever that means
It was perfor this time the first time at least
He's first I hear.
Already baited the plan.
But if you're always watching for gnats,
maybe you'll catch someone else.
Well, there you go.
All part of the game plan.
So it's Tom.
Jarvan and the liquid.
Four of the players.
Oh, here we go.
Actually.
It's not a game.
Two rifles.
I'm an ult for many others.
Now he's got to wait it out and hold strong.
Keep the hold.
And I wouldn't personally hate a reclear.
I like a reclear here.
Call by respecting this even though I'm passing pieces
for looking like this.
They wait out the neon ult and reclear.
but alpha's solo reclearing which is fine but I don't generally like it
okay here's his voice
I think this is good
this is good
because they're not scared
to like go back into the space
yeah like if you're scared that's when I get worried
I'm like oh no don't get scared just because you lost like a few rounds
it's like they're scared to lose mentality
yeah yeah yeah
Builds and builds you can even see that Wayne is sacked in the sport. He's making sure he can rotate your ult up a while they contact
B, catch them on the jiggle, big kill by
Bye
John, I forgot his first name
Coming online in this and the next round this could be a dominant close to the half team liquid trying
The thin out that hurt but only the one to be filming the trade so quick from fanatic
There is nothing
What's right, you should go for it. You mean it
Yeah, but you kind of watch me there can you coach
No, no, I'm saying you coach I'll play it because you walked me there
Yeah, but I
Now we'll build a team of boomers. It'd be like 30 year old man. It'll be 30 year old man
Me FNS angel boaster, we have all I gls fuck
Well the problem with that team is, you know you have to let Angel IGL, right?
You think Angel takes it just based off of like, uh, he's the man in the longest?
No, he has to do it because I don't think he could be, he will not be kept sane unless he IGLs.
No, I could play Angel in his place.
No, I don't, I think he would be miserable. You have to let the man be given up.
Maybe his misery is the answer to success.
Oh no!
He's the guy that's gotta get them in.
Take one for the team
Look now that they've done a better job in these rounds. I feel like liquid are more hesitant to be as aggro
You know, they are fucking for one stacking the site which is why now they're scared
Potentially, I don't know
But this is beautiful right now, I don't know how they've got the read but they started a back to be into the solo Viper
It is not
The same way by the way because you got a scene kill last round
But either way
Close actually don't don't don't don't play your hands
Yo me boo is a psycho
Freedom a lead presence sent his way Wayne
Oh my god, oh my
That round looked like a done deal Tom
That was my thing. I guess that's good, but like fuck how they lose this
Before me to for sure knife killing them what happens
Okay, well he got
Pretty crushes I everyone be I was 31
You're right. That's your three ones. They didn't even tap on me, right?
They don't peek off tap. They peek just for fun.
I'm sure it's for fun.
Brunnen couldn't hear you had the fate then? Oh, was he?
I
Did it's half okay, I could be wrong about everything I said
There are a lot of cultural emotions, we're really proud of that, you know, I think you can hear in my voice, we still didn't get through it, you know, 2 hours of sleep so...
Did you manage to get some sleep?
Yeah, 2 hours.
Ah, 2 hours, 2 hours and then straight to the arena to watch...
Yeah, he went to the club for sure!
The 100% this guy's hungover his shit more than me.
In the arena with no pressure, no antistrat to prepare, you know, your job is done basically to qualify for Matos and Thiago, so...
Do you enjoy resting from the kickoff marathon, just watching the others play and fight for their lives?
Yeah, I mean it feels very refreshing being here, you know being able to watch friends like we cash, you know play
It's amazing, and I'm just happy to be here and if you don't enjoy our watch party with Bayas
Talk to the gentleman's community, you know and just enjoy it's amazing to be here
And I'm happy to need to play
Just a bunch of happy ass dudes
Yo, what the fuck was that voice?
It is yelling for the game though and drinking
I know oh, I don't know him. I know his name is Baz
Now he's a co-streamer or he's like a he's a part of the elements though
He's half Turk, half French
German rapper Bayoz he is half Turk, half French. Yeah, that's kind of sick
Shout out that boy Bayoz. Bayoz means white and Turkish
but again pressure that has any correlation to his name probably not
those calls that here we go
what a fucking guy to go through they prints it I was also aware of this
He is.
Wow, jiggles.
20 numbers coming chat.
is I feel like this is now the perfect way to activate that's like you have this
super fast-paced aggro into the site
everyone rotates into position
Nats is like yeah children's form
he's always been that extra layer that's so hard to play against but in this sort of
setup in this sort of meta it's perfect to just have him in that backline and
that's something that you could even see but I think we're looking like Alfie
I didn't just walk with his back there he was looking for where Nats is
But that has always been an issue especially on this man is there's no
That it's just three two easy follow-up as I feel like three two anti-eco
I just feel like stacked the site
Super hindsight, but I feel like if liquid are just so aggressive just five mana side on anti-eco
Ain't no way we're holding both sides
But I guess that's the key step for fucking any team
I
Like let's just take a risk or gamble
Yeah
Yo, what is it?
He's getting some style points
He's getting tricky with it
Second pistol once again
Back into favor
This is where we need to see that response
This is a bird like coming with the rifles. They were shaking everything they need, but their opponents also have rifles mostly
He's walking the bird. It's a
Bonus for
Crashly the one the flood from boaster
Big big boasty big boasty
Oh, that is truly smart.
Yeah.
It's a battle of throes.
Any opportunity they throw, they want to fucking take it.
It's not like it's a mind that's like who can throw first.
Let's see who's beating through a punch.
Oh my god.
I actually got scared with the bulldog.
It's got scary too.
The second kill is huge.
Well, let's just end the round.
We got a game here dude, we actually got a fucking game here. Full buys now, Jajan Vakhaj, also known as, I forgot the first start.
Silverjump here.
Silver.
So then, hold.
What's been?
I
Don't think he wants to keep fighting here though and three of versus two and judge on the retake for a vacas if they don't
Push it in him. That's gonna be a to give red molly should be some weapons to pick up behind him
And indeed they will just wait to take this together. I'm weighing to left, but it's Wayne, and that's
Oh, my god
He manages to catch crashes and Wayne and clutch hilarious has been sublime and he needs to get past this utility now
Oh my god, what the fuck holy shit
No, we say yeah
Boaster
You might not be on the cast tonight did keep it up early days though
Yeah, we need some fucking wins
I don't know. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Right now it's kind of up in the air
where I land.
But a little bit of momentum building up for fanatic in my cursor know that before
I've started to believe again, but he's done one the last couple of rounds to just keep advantages
I feel like we've had the back of thoughts kaiak's early double and you have the response
But you can't see if you're fanatic if you have a blue light in the back
the advantage and they don't trade effective
fucks that little remote
keep to those fundamentals
actually now now
I don't know if I won you on RT
Now I wasn't sure for some I wanted that seems to passion burns it would be billed
Redux we're good
I wanted it to win
No one's up for a grab here, okay? Maybe they'll come back. Maybe they'll all come back
I do much rather seem purposeful on the sky rather than the fade. I feel like his initiator you told us being
Which leaps with sky
He can at least play it as a duelist as we've seen he's flashing for himself and
Manage give me your
It's good that little bit. You've seen the value of the dog value the info on the flashes as well
But often used individually here
I hate chemo.
I don't mind the brimoles as long as we win the round then.
I don't have lamps though.
Yeah, but they're aware, right?
Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, guys.
Okay, he's low, is he going to trade the kill?
Oh, forget it, trade!
Yeah, insane.
Where's Camel going right there?
Ooh, slow reaction time.
Hold on, crash is still on a smile.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
I've never seen you smile like this before.
You got a sneaky smile.
What?
You got a smile like this in NA.
Nah, he was smiling.
The camera was going to be on him when he smiled.
There's a meme.
You only get to prepare.
In NA?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We were going to put the cameras on him when he smiled.
No, no.
I was going to just sit back in there and smile.
What are you going to say?
They were getting aggressive.
And the only time the fanatic had to counter that was in the loading screen.
Happy didn't smile until he came to NA.
Very much limits your ability to react.
Happy?
We saw their game challenged from the very second.
Those happy yes
Oh, he thinks him
No
How
That's all his ultimate online
the problem is is
I'm fanatic of had those disabond happy LDLC. What's you know by LDLC my young buck try and turn the rounds back
LDLC
I like the setup bow playing contact with the cash, but he's not gonna be able to stop mini booth just too quick
I think I have to overstate this visit. I'll say it. I think they were
The cash being able to play off his flat
At all. Yeah, we're also this fucking slide
Oh my god
not as being this game is right oh my god that is so much better holy shit the
neon stun though waylay hinder the sky flash and there's a fucking flank on
top of it all not only is he running out of all the youth so there's another
guy flanking him there's a chance he could have got skies
It sucks the sky was talking from you
Do you have gone for the sky chat?
Fucking bulls actual wow
Both falling into the hands of Alfie here. Someone has to fight back on liquid if the climb back is
Exhausted.
And it will be the pit from Natch put in so late. A danger lurking as they spotted him.
The aura is running. Push on Thrupple.
And the flank.
Poster's going down. Shorty!
Natch! Crab's a tupple!
Oh my god!
The duel is the purple as we know him. Here on the sky, pumping the flashes
Oh my god, I'm a cry. I'm a cry.
Oh my god.
That ult was crazy. Oh my god.
That was insane ult.
They're so good.
These guys are probably fucking insane.
What a fucking...
This liquid team is fucking good, huh?
already found the opening looking for a bit more and we're all back never know
what's gonna say might publish and he was pushing down cause I got a pause after this one for sure
yeah I think they have one left for it
yeah it's gotta be great
I think we should have one left
shoot they used both of them right?
well they have one left, I don't think they need it back
they ripped from their sails and tell it off
the final one we'll see on bind both teams pushed to the limit but it's fanatic
that are already mapped out
Every time I think that okay, this is the moment that liquid might just crack me to wake up
if you just see some of that brilliance you see some of those moments that
They've been doing this would have won that previous round. They fucking
In that lower bracket
I mentioned it the conversation of last year where they fell into the lower bracket immediately and needed to win five games in a row
To make it to masters this year. They fell twice
They were given an additional lower bracket, which almost seems unfair
And then now on that road again four wins out of five the last would be defeating fanatic and again
Eliminating them from kickoff contention not going to the past god would hit right now the sponsors working
They are getting more and more
To look like a squad that are gonna do it again
2nd fastest attacking blind team globally putting the spike at 48 seconds on average.
Wow.
His stats are kinda sick.
Ghost will show how fast they play, yeah?
I mean, we're seeing it, but...
and after using up their final pause the final pause I'll buy
Crashing towards be long the trade is very good for liquid to continue to get ground but eyes
Oh
And that's where Matt is filling in there all
so far back to prime
What a fucking lurks the only thing you'll see
Team Lurt dude.
So hard. This is such a hard retake right now.
They have fatal.
It's such a hard retake. They have so much utility.
They have a top spike right away.
Topping it.
Now he's in the corner they spammed.
Why would they check that they do?
Crash is clear.
Is it again?
A chance?
Stop, Bremol.
Stop, Bremol, bro.
But can he tank the damage?
He'd have to go all the way through.
This is going to be close.
No!
He's on the spot, bro.
Oh, my God.
I think that guy should have him.
I think he would have had it.
Right?
Did he get shot at?
No, he didn't get shot at.
He didn't get shot at.
I was all Bremol.
There's no assist, I say.
That was so close.
Yes, that was incredible.
You're going to say that.
Yes.
Oh my god.
They were playing up against a stacked hand.
Oh my god.
How close was that?
They gotta show it.
The Molly that was sent through
followed the snake bite and then
the orbital strike.
16 health and frankly
I don't even call that a pixel away.
Is that enough?
Cause he was even a little bit up.
I'm not sure what health he was on.
Yeah, I think he survives another tick. That's all we needed. So I think that was the
I feel like the coordinated pushes that liquid we're doing on defense
So hot right now
the door and fanatic liquid are flying this is one chance to fight for this they need to
push it to OT and if I win in this one I'll tell you that that's it no no no no no there's
phone that ends on the side of the style liquid looking to send fanatic home two maps
would basically be a depth sentence they need three in a row and right now liquid look
like the better squad he's just 260 then he's he's going for a whole school phase and optic clips
like what is this is he making a montage mid game
uh-oh 24 and 13
women like orange and have a water on zince i'll change it right now
i go boof for countdown oh shit it's working
found it there's more pieces to the puzzle boaster on the corner he's gonna touch the
old gives him a way out of there but he's under serious pressure to spam not quite
catching him and this is not over yet it's not over yet to before no no no no
no no it's not it's not it's not it's never over
They're going, hey, oh my...
Oh, this is so... my...
They're actually going fucking A.
There's the color again.
and fanatic are the ones that need this and a follow-up they've got to pick up the
pace
Wow, that is insane, I can't believe it.
Damn, there's no Diaz.
I think she's never watching with you again, I kinda feel like I'm the problem in some
weird fucking way.
You guys aren't helping right now, I'm not gonna lie.
We man we man world what what?
Have a break have a kick at I guess I want in a web won't break almost
That's the first against the woman's today. No, I didn't you go crazy. That's all they want
Shush! 43. What the fuck? Isn't that nuts? Let's see the scores. 23-14, 17-16, 26-12, 35-16. No overtime, by the way.
Oh my fucking windows are fucked right now.
And there's no map 5, it was 3-1.
That's insane.
He did it in 4 maps.
Wait a minute, he did it in 4 maps.
That might be a record for BO5 in 4 maps, right?
Watched the last round.
What happened in the last round was crazy
Yaced
Well, I'm still trying to digest this fucking fanatic game right now. It's a lot happening right now
There's nothing happening to pros going through it actually
Um
Where would I watch this last round from because the VODs aren't on here on YouTube or is there a clip on reddit?
probably
Gotta be this one
1210 what was that?
Wow
Look at him go 17 brothers left
Wait, I'm gonna go. It doesn't matter
That was a bit old
Ah what a generational performance man
This guy is different. This guy is different.
He's battling.
Damn. That is insane way to close out the series, by the way.
To close out the BO5 to qualify.
35-16 ace. Holy fuck.
That is nuts.
Is Forsaken in his maximum form?
Like, Forsaken was already playing like fucking insane.
Is he going to the next level?
In the 1v3 as well
Second my god all three they are all three there. We see all three one. That's what he's been
Ten times in that
Nothing David
That's hide this is a high-pass game to this is a high-pass game was this game high for not
I see the scores here 13-8 not that close 10 is close 10 is close 10. I would say anything past 8 is a close map
Seems like it was these
So last round we just saw the last round
RRQ lost 3 BO5s yeah that's that's hard that's hard it qualified to the
upper bracket and they didn't make it they were undefeated to the upper bracket
I'm gonna make it I might be our next potentially wait no they didn't go through
Oh sorry, I'm in the wrong region.
I really like in that reaction pack that Wayne is the only one that's kind of like
chillin' like it's quite a team-reaction pack, but Wayne is just like, I can see rhythm.
Is that their best chance?
3-2-3-0-3-1.
No, okay.
I was impressed though, the thing for me, coming to Titan,
it's not necessarily an agent composition switch,
but liquid continuing with this, running it down.
Damn.
You said that it was like, yeah, it's as simple as this.
will haunt them the hardest but either way that's hard the first one yeah I mean three two
it's other two they really have a chance it looks like
R.R. post-match interview drama
is this someone said that he tweeted I didn't see it though
Also, can we adjust the headset for the next stage at Riot Jake every game we can hear Korean casters
Word by word
You want players always smoke or vaping the toilet and don't receive any penalties if anyone from our side tries to smoke somewhere
We definitely get utilized
penalized
This wasn't in the toilet legal
of somebody and it's it's camera minibu really really finding the feet in these roles feeling
happy now about the double duelist and how to actually play it no i mean esther speaking of
confirmation of location that's location was continuously a thorn in fanatic side oh yeah
that's four people here oh wait oh that was a quote from the interview oh yes yes yes yes yes
yeah again we've had this conversation all gemkins said that in the interview
now again it's for a team now to go over and above in terms of aggression
Why would the players not be able to, I mean, yes, not all the players, but a lot of players
during the break would go for a smoke break, but they weren't vaping, they were smoking
fucking cigarettes.
But I feel like, I feel like taking a smoke break in between, if someone smokes, like,
that's their thing.
But I think it's, yeah, unfair if one team can do it, the other team can't.
and Binds being his kind of clay ground and that's on Binds what could potentially go wrong.
Yeah it's about the penalized thing, I understand.
He's going to be able to get those kills and he's also going to be able to turn around
rounds that almost look loosable, turning into like winning rounds as well for his team.
So yeah he's just the king of Bind at this point.
Confidence very much on the side of Liquid, but Abyss is coming up next and this is a map
for Fanatic that they looked confident on even yesterday. I mean Crash, he's on Abyss,
Name or more iconic duo I guess, but high-fuck you're not you're worried
I want to see the video, but I don't know where the clip is
You lose a 5v2 to close out the map and camos acing confidence for me
Is just a discussion. I don't want to have
Oh my god
country
Started singing do nays. Oh my god. It's actually fucking awesome
That's good, that's some good shit that's some good shit
Dude fucking uh, I mean paper X
They were close to close to not making it to man, but it's paperbacks. They're just going the adventurous route
They're smoking and jumping talking about the PC quality I see I see
Okay, well we'll revisit it we've got bigger fish to fry right now can liquid do a reverse sweep sorry fanatic rather
The bigger question right now
Considering that they got reverse swept yesterday. Oh, he's looking nice, dude
He's looking nice
Okay
Yeah, I think when I'm looking at fanatics composition here
I'm looking at the stopping power that they're gonna have against this way
in that Neon that they have I'm thinking about how one second
Agent select what we got double dualists for liquor all guys about a run it down again
And if anything, that's what's I guess the most double initiator for fanatic with the vice
I'm guessing this is a liquid magic, right?
It goes to
That's not big actually. I'm gonna be quick real life one second
Four years to adapt quickly talk about coming into fresh methods
having a lot of prep time ahead of season start I think that's something
they've trended way behind where we've seen historically and now a series by
series basis with liquid making changes the way they play today it's a total
curve ball to fantastic. But if you want to go to Santiago if you want to go to
the internationals you need to be able to adapt and you need to be able to
deal with the curve balls that they throw at you. Yeah for sure I think as
well like coming into this we had already set out. Liquid are teams that love to
change from positions especially when it gets into a playoffs run like this. So Fnatic coming into today, we should have found this one.
This is do or die for Fnatic. They have to win this map if they want to stay in the running for San Tiago.
Liquid, however, is looking cool, calm and collected as they are one map away from punching their ticket.
We'll head over to our casters for our third map of the series.
You're freaking down.
third and maybe final indeed for team liquid it's a surprise a 2-0 from this
point I don't think anybody expected that especially not with how dominant it
has been for fanatic to break the kickoff curse we're gonna have to lock in here
and now yeah and the fun thing is is I we've spoken about them going for double
Oh, you got to see what's about to do with it.
Here we freaking go.
This could be the final map of the series and.
You have to run on Cypher in the big 26.
Team Liquid set themselves up for success,
and maybe even for San Diego.
You know that's the thing.
Have a chance.
I'm so scared.
I fear.
We need a pistol, Tyrick.
Yeah, yeah.
Really well done by Liquid that late in the track.
So much space and kayak it's not only surrounded but
Hi, there's that boy
Fucking massive is too good bro 3d3
He's just holding buying time and that's where poster strikes and look like the game plan was masterful now
Oh my god.
Because good patience, bro.
1v3 here.
That boy purple?
I don't know what's that extreme star so I don't know if this is one of the strengths
I
Actually thought he's gonna just sit inside it like hope maybe they'll check me but no it takes the fight
But this time they made an investment early. They went for the outlaw and they tend to fight back
I love this by top you got pistols that just need to do 10
Yeah, they're actually fucking sweating or like trying hard
Yeah, unfortunately, you could have won.
Oh my God, that's good.
They're actually going to win.
They're going to make a difference.
That's why he survived, and Nats didn't.
Clip of Nats targeting Booster, I saw, dude.
That is some vicious shit right there.
He's going to have a weakness.
I ain't going to lie.
That's some vicious shit right there.
They don't do any damage for it.
That's not really going to hold much value.
There's no way they expect anybody to be here.
Ease, ease.
Clip off the rope.
But it is a bit of a ball of salt,
but at a clean start again.
Easy!
I need bonus defense.
Every time Bozzer talks to Sensor, he sings some fuckin' shit.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
a bunch is
Early presence in bed if you can remove that to be only as a pistol careful
Don't want to give him that outlaw, but they really are putting the pressure on boasters already gone walk about that cash sitting back
They put the pressure into craches. You've done well. Honestly trades for before it takes a kill slows them down
And now the opponents are encroaching on that flank but with that still alive they do have to give the game away
Yeah, that's always the problem a little bit of extra information team liquid
No, there's someone coming behind so you might have to fight for some space
Yeah, the space pack
from all sides and leave haven't the riskier
They kill
Okay
You can't you can't be serious
There's been a lot and I just started watching today
And yes sure if you look at that as a bonus round of fanatic, that's great. Wow. It's a shot
Sick shot exactly what you want. Yeah
It's not exactly what you want though in return like that. He's so fast
That's crazy that he can get to the back side before crashes can get out
Or be three here
Maybe we're just legit flying around
I
Never fucking know
I'm popping off. Yeah, I think not in one
This round starts off with him just diving on nats taking him out
I think he also has one of the more impactful kills getting back to you as well
That one
He can continue up level of form six shots because
Everything is censored from fanatic
We're gonna go
Do I stand up is that is that what we do but he got up anyways
That's all the high fuck one to the sea the for fanatic at 3-1
Maybe to come back. Oh
He's so lonely
Wonder I wonder if they heard him drift if you fuck it up they could hear him
I think they heard him
140
This is a scary round out his trip heaven
Alpha they're both one shot. Oh my god
Oh my god
Of course we get any code.
Oh my god, yeah.
Wow.
He ults? I mean, yeah, it was fine for Neon for too many though.
A fucking running gun frenzy with outlaw against two 140 tags.
that's a result they found a huge play here the team like with three to two back and forth in those early
rounds games a bit low i think it is a bit low too sorry one's back already you can see that that
defensive economy is coming under strain bladestorm used previously this is the big investment
and i lost here even with a steel garden and maybe a hunter's fury for the next it will
Probably give team liquid the lead. Yeah, no info definitely super early drone, right?
What a fucking dart that was what gave I think at least actually what a fucking dark kill
Oh
Again, you can see that's just so far
Just holding ground in case
What's the other game today?
Uh, we have a last match for America's between MIBR and NRG.
Don't worry, yeah.
First match to the Algo, yeah.
Loser is out, winner goes through.
The guy will be out of there you'd imagine in fact he is but it's alpha connecting the shot still garden online and put through
It should be magic mouth over here
Cag
Master value
Yeah, I'm adults you know
Yeah, they are they might have a stupid one if they're quick, but I'll be that's be very fast
He got out serious
Anybody comes in on that flank the second they don't this post bar in Maine becomes deadly as you said the hunters paranoia and art
Being available the main detriment of it is if somebody comes from behind but they already know that that isn't the case
The one thing has to be very careful
from Beck as he waits for the first pop manages to remove it
Crassies just trying to block the player from swinging there
Oh, Jesus
Oh, man
Jesus
Like the counts of this game are all in the line
Yeah, it's not one measure right now
That's right
Not the one you're thinking of
And throwing in that little flash and damn
Sorry, since you were here
You made the thing for second
It's not your future
What was the time
What you do in these moments
With little hesitation
Like what, how do you stop throwing
What is that so?
For them losing bad advantages?
Yeah, just like constantly, because this is a two day thing.
In the best fight yesterday it was worse than this.
It has to be a review thing and everyone being on the same page of like having a discipline.
You know what I think happens though? I think it feels like it's a domino effect where one guy fucks up.
They need to stop that first guy from fucking up because it's leading to everyone else fucking up.
They're just panicking?
I think the one mistake is just causing another and I think that first mistake someone's overplaying their hands and it's happening over and over but holy fuck what a survival
He's looking like 2021 lackia
God damn
Looking like Derek out there
Yeah
Overwatch mentioned
They're on the A site but the spike is packing spawn
Flank on flank
And the delay it's causing some gaps
We are away from match
The first mistake
It's way better
But how do you fix that with your playing in like the tournament system, you know, like
playoff system, you play every day and you don't have like time to review?
Yeah, like I said, I think it's like someone getting greedy in that man advantage.
I think it's just this one.
That first kill, like that first guy dying in the 2v4 is the biggest problem in my opinion.
Like in a 2v4, 2v5, whoever dies first, I think is the one that started it.
Although you might look at the last guy losing the clutch and the 1v1 has a problem.
I think it's the first guy to kind of start the, uh,
But is it risky to start having conversations like I did when we were going from day to day, right?
You've got to do the half of the corner now.
I think it's fine. I mean, I think it's like a, it's more of a job here in memory.
It's like, hey guys, let's not, let's stay more disciplined in these man advantages.
Let's not overplay our hands.
Because it's something they know, but they just need to be like refreshed on it.
I don't think it's like a huge conversation that has to take place
That's that's how I would see it
Which is also the wrong person?
I mean that's what's happening
I don't know
That's what I would say
What worked for them, and I think this time that surprise element of the neon the neon's been okay
There's been moments where mini boo's got value cameras currently zero and seven so he's getting that first guy
Oh, if I got three kills, I'm not stopping those backstabs if I get three kills
I go forward game for them to play
And that's when you add in a fact that Wayne did also win a ridiculous clutch round
I guess when it becomes hard is like when someone's being
resistant to that criticism of like hey like this was not good
then it's like a drawn-out conversation that can be quicker yeah so that just
comes down it's a little different depending on the team
I think like so many players that Korea's died because they just take everything
for granted and they just throw balls. Yeah I mean I think it goes both ways
doesn't get personally but also don't deliver the message in a fucked up way
like don't be a dick head about it you know what I mean?
I've been on both sides of the game. I've taken it personally and I've also been a dick head
He's dead.
What the hell?
Crash, he's tied to just two health.
Nats is gonna land the shot on the pixel angle.
A spout from Becash.
One of you four.
They're gonna be careful though.
Camo is gonna try and hold them.
This will come down to Kayak holding the line he does.
He's got three.
Being able to take two men in.
Becash hits a natural one.
He's done in the meantime.
Kayak has just been running it through.
Almost flies off the net.
Oh my god, they did this already.
They hurt him.
The first guy died for the second one, didn't he?
No!
That makes me stupid.
The lie is back.
He's coming back.
He's feeling it, he's feeling it.
I believe in fanatic but next map is breeze that's team liquid map actually
They finally punished the boy
That's been feeling it to be fair
Oh
I'll forget that's routine. Of course, there's a fucking camera here
Josh is one before
Yeah, like trying to get away
make three
Sponsored by move ember
down to the midfights egg you start out with kaiak going down we've done that a couple years in a row crumbles and liquid have their
Direction in 22 23 maybe that a sight and I can't fault kaiak for taking it
He was over you move ember. Yeah, hell of a start, you know, that's where you gotta start
When you're having a game playing towards your strengths playing to remember early fights looking to to force those engagements, but
It's time he gets punished.
Oh yeah.
I'd be surprised if we see him from him again though.
Yeah, I think that was definitely like a domino effect round.
But you'd lose him early.
You're trying to recover the re-
You all are low for you guys too.
Sometimes it's wonderfully weird.
I think you can't handle the traffic, but yeah.
I don't know if it's down right now.
Nice shot.
Camo, yeah.
Get back onto the board as well.
I said he's at a wall full time in this map so far.
keyboard nah he definitely practiced before the game right
be so for real with me tarik have you ever have you ever kicked off a cable
no but CS bros are shameless I think I was too much of a person to do it
there's no more flavors than CS are shameless
there's some ballerin for us too honestly I wouldn't doubt it I don't put it past
people people will really do anything for the win but no I feel like
Yeah
Not just a table no
No
Now
I'll tell you
They've enjoyed running this sort of jet dive and leaving alpha yet to sort of probe from behind so
Are they sharing let's go tech pause
You dare you guys want to know to
I think about how I can vaguely explain the story
It's crazy
Assign supporting the tech pause cheering it on only don't do it in red
Our stage goes go red and you guys want the key don't you but
What color should they do it in?
What?
I don't think that'll help with the signs that we're giving out
Well, we'll see eventually I think I think it was yeah, it was a keyboard issue something
Will undoubtedly be affected six to three a three-round gap between and fanatic
Well, Kaik was shut down in the previous round looking for that fight on middle
He was 12 and three felt close my downsides there, you know, it's not to a shot
She's overgill. It was great exchange seems up because he's in the same spot, but done up in hand
He's not looking to give away those out
Same spot for Kaik
They can close the distance
Start to get towards this door breaking in defense
Oh my god
Now they get real close to Kaik
Oh, wow good cover good cover
They are low
Yes, I agree
It could be more of the same now.
It's kill on spawn is huge.
It's a little scary because there's sweating bee, boasters low on spawn, so Alpha might be alone here.
Yeah, and I think both of those camera is still doing something weird.
I like the idea of Alpha giving it up though.
Wait for his team.
While they maybe potentially re-clear this mid-lurk that they're super aware about.
He's in a ratty angle here.
Can't lie
Okay, if I still got no value
Off angle
Okay, we got in for early
I
Feel like I'm in groundhogs. They're watching the same thing happen over and over. Yeah
Feels like they just auto I don't know
zombies for a second
This one is...
Like, the cast and Albus are the ones that are going to get genuinely lost.
I mean, the guys...
The guys have a mix.
If you talk it up to your lips...
They're all solo peeking.
I mean, the guys have been peeking together.
Both of you died early.
It's only one this time yeah again crashes system he commanded that quick trade last time. He was ahead of the kill
Protein liquid it might look odd with the spike and spawn they do have a TP and old on Wayne to go and
steal it back
They've also got a speedster in the form of mini bill
Nonetheless the issue here is not the spike the issue is this setup
We've seen from alpha many times before this is devastating to deal with
maybe more jiggles honestly but they got the info early cost of life
Loki I feel like they feel extra pressure and these man advantages for some
reason because they've lost so many yes since they've lost so many it's like a
Mental block right now when they're man up. It's like these it's like an extra layer of pressure. That shouldn't exist
It's almost like they get there already don't believe him in position. They're just not even worried. I mean, they're just like stressed out by it
Also likely be a piece of utility that denies him
Planting exactly where he wants no he's gonna get stunned up though
I
He would never scream of them. I say I need a more stern approach. You're saying
Yeah, I think in some scenarios they deserve to be
Nice ways in working we gotta go the mean way
Change the round the other so situational and that can be instantly canceled by the cash
That's the thing. He was so good with the timing of it
Try and catch him now, but
It's really good. The power is
just wow. You're just
It's exactly what they were
looking for. Crash is not even
giving the fight. Denying
utility for the post. Kamo as
well. They're desperately
trying to find ground on the
liquid side. Find someone to
find. I don't like the wide
oh my god there's no universe oh my god
it's just so rough because they're just squirreling at me around
for the second half we've got some special guests in the house let's give some special
welcome to Mimi Akita and Drew from G2
it's uh I don't know and after G2 qualified for September in LA yesterday I'm very glad
to welcome the G2
they need to stop throwing
i don't know what to do
i don't know
and you're the first question i want to ask you
you know in gc we tend to
have and take inspiration
from vct teams of course
so i was wondering is there any team that helps you cook
maybe you know the inspiration side
i mean it's good to take inspiration from everyone
i think every region and people
yeah cook like cheques
i can just say bros and g2
The spacing is terrible
So the PR answer?
Fucking air his shit
like I'm the fastest so Mimi can feel the gap if I want to pick so much you can go somewhere else
and like she can also play off so I don't always need to do the hard job yeah a little bit more
freedom yeah more freedom but in attack it's a bit harder for me but it's fine but yeah a little
bit more teamwork and synchronization for sure with to do a lesson now Mimi I'm telling to you
you played so many grand finals in your career right you know these high-stake matches so what
makes a difference especially as an ideal in those tough moments. I think the most important thing
is the confidence and the prep going into the grand final. If you're confident in your players and
your prep and everything that you've done to set yourself up that is what really is going to make
the difference in the game. So preparation and confidence let's see between Fnatic and Liquid
who is the most prepared and the most confident thank you so much for joining. Thank you.
Thank you!
Sabia!
I'm not dangling what you're doing.
Special
I think it might be going off the chart
We might need to add a new layer after this and in the round he won for liquid making things that little bit closer
That's what's ours. We can like realistically if you're going off the early advantages
But now it could have won this 12-0, but those clutch plays those big individual moments have made this one close
We're waiting to see if a fourth map will even be needed or if liquid
I've got their plans set on this defensive side
Other defense has been for me the most exciting to see like their aggression on the last two
We're gonna masterclass how the boasters have, let's go
I mean you're asking for a lot of that man, maybe that's all with Alfa and Steph?
Be it for example with a skyflash
Is Alfa's running right now? How does he destroy her?
No, I mean Alfa's at winnable
Oh, I see Alfa's just a fucking drop nukes
It's not gonna be as easy to force those aggressive fights
But I would be surprised to see them put that playbook aside and as the round ticks on 50 seconds on the clock
Look who's pushing up. Thank you, Zilf. I'm so much time has passed. We've cleared all of these
We know actually both of just left go to be fair. She's actually a little unfortunate
Oh, this is unlucky. This is bad cancel cancel the fucking strap, please
He's deaded.
Not again.
It's flank, it's flank!
Yeah, I do have time it was so bad for Fnatic here.
I'm pretty sure Fnatic gave the B-Push, she cleared it out and they stacked A.
Oh god, it looks so silly.
Cause they're just getting fucking flanked, but...
Yeah
Yeah, I guess they want to they want to greet it for the postman
No, I don't think I'll put more we didn't buy it at all
God the same old story for you the kickoff curse they call it fanatic
They look great all year except right at the start and even before kickoff when we kicked off partnership
It was a grand final against team liquid after beating them. Maybe we don't focus on the mastermind will dominate
The very very first grand final we had not sure I think liquid are just like the term in this fuck
Has found the kill
Yep
This looks ridiculous, but it also looks exactly as an expect
We got
We all turn this shit off man
It's a long shot here. It's a big guess, but I think liquid might be happy with it anyway
Okay, fast-off from Rip into a lead, execute, got site, big kill on the front there, Alpha
huge
Econ here Econ Econ
Not a fucking swing
Maybe they're trying too hard to like play perfect on the 1v4 is just everyone fucking do whatever you want. Fuck it
Let's try like the opposite approach
No, Joe gets them. I mean, it wouldn't be a call for a 1v4, but I have called we're like, hey, nothing's working. Just fucking go play ranks
All right, now they're fucking just like
They're hardcore glazing liquid, where's the good fanatic stats on this thing
of that round. Maybe when they stop touring, we can get a good
spanatic zap. They they win a 2v4, that was not expert
man advantage conversion.
Hahahahaha!
First angle, but look at the rotates.
Liquid seem to have their playbook in front of them. They go, the hits coming through.
The rotate, hey, have people ready?
Alpha? Alpha, turn up.
Firmly under the control of liquid, another.
2v4, let's get one back in our favor.
And now Wayne suspicious as the smoke is going to fade
Jump off fuck it. Oh my god
Oh my god, I was kidding. I think I'm bought by the way just for the record. Holy fuck. Yeah, she fell
If anything it's it's good old management from crashes, but I'm not sure it was necessarily
intentional
Please please at least give us a map for
Do we have to bet? We will!
The problem is map 4 is Breeze and that's all he has to do.
Yeah, let's get on Breeze.
I'm telling you right now if they go Breeze, it's going that fast. I'm guaranteeing that.
I'm guaranteeing even though I split with best map, it's going that fast.
They told you about Matts on his villain arc and you can see him and he's having
a really hard time.
Is it working?
Oh, he fucked. They actually shooting back, playing together? Who is this game?
Maybe, maybe they did what you said, like, yo, let's just...
Are you right?
Yeah, let's just, like, run and see what happens.
Oh, right up.
I will ask, first, when we come time, like, what happened?
I like this just a pause from fanatic
I know but you you have to be calm cool and collected because I think they're feeling the energy from a distance
All good in the hood we're gonna go be
The spike only might be a little early there, but we're aware of it
That's okay crashes is here
He's gonna hear him right here is that crashes guys shoes off the side one
From a distance are like
Okay
I'm just saying we have to look at it from every
Yeah, you know that he's gonna hunt you. I told me i'm a jinx all the time
Yeah, my track will be jinxed
Yeah, I feel that you start to believe it, right?
Yeah, I I I've had some pretty egregious ones. I've seen you all I've seen clips of you
Yeah, it's like in the moment
Yeah, you're right.
They're casually gonna die here.
Do I have Darren's?
Isn't the answer of a jinx?
Passing fucking spells out here, I guess.
away from qualifying there yesterday having to turn around this quickly played
up b-o-five against you know to say historic rivals really isn't under
statement I mean these guys have been trading blows since Valorant began and
in partnership it was liquid to draw that first blood an important grand
final they got one of the coolest trophies we've had in the MEA
back to the Coliseum and bad guns here
next round the fuck out of this round
not final didn't go their way and even getting to final
tough situation when it comes to kickoff
usually bomb out in the first few games
yeah this is the one place
it has been tough
the caliber of this squad can never be denied
oi oi oi oi ozi ozi ozi
starting slow looking shaky getting better as the tournament goes on
tournament goes on and that's going to have to be the story of this series as
well takes us to breeze and that's one way again I feel like
I'm gonna get thrusted.
Oh, it's fine, it's fine.
What happened to putting in good energy?
You played good cop off-ramp.
You played good cop, I played bad cop.
Okay.
Four players currently within this B site.
The trips were set on the other side.
I want to stand up, but you can't see my frigging face.
Maybe for the better though.
It's over. It's actually over.
It's been given me over. He's a judge.
I'm gonna get thrusted.
This is the journey over. He's a judge.
I'm just a specialist. I'm absolutely distressed.
Oh my god, no, no, no, no, what's happening?
What happened again?
No, I tried jinxing it. I'm not gonna lie.
Fuck!
Wait, this is sickening. This is sickening, actually. That is sickening.
That is sickening.
I don't know what's going on with this series.
It's a walk-in.
It's going to be so frustrating.
We're walking through this bad.
We're going to warn the HB, both of them said dinner is hot.
He should have been dead to rights.
Ah!
It happens once.
What are you doing?
But you're not brought.
It happens once, but it happens eight times.
In one series, it's kind of crazy.
Yeah, there's something that's something off.
It's fucking.
Are they over-complicating?
I don't even know.
I don't know
It's hard to say
Kayak, we need you right now Kayak, let's go
Big kill here
Big kill here Kayak
Don't over here you do it!
Fuck it!
You're him!
You're not him!
Nice try!
I'll be instantly overheated
Nice!
Nice try
Kayak has no gun
He has no fucking gun
He's gonna die playing this fight
Alpha, Alpha, my Turkish boy though
My Turkish boy, it holds
No! He's lying! He's seen the train!
Oh god, I feel like it's all my fault for some reason.
He went so wide, I know.
Damn, especially when you look at the likes of Perpo and Wayne, the opportunity to make it to that first
First, I'm not going to kill him, man
Especially for Perpo, you talk about Wayne as a youngster who's coming up to the league for the first time
Perpo's been around the block for a long, long time, this has been a journey
Those three rounds are going to feel like an eternity
I'm pretty sure since day one, I remember Perpo's name circulating in the very, very early days
I
Invite only era, but this is the thing he was subbed in for mech in the last match
Yeah, yeah, yeah an LCQ that would have taken him to an international in which he
Only map he played in that tournament. They didn't think these
Now
There's events how much damage they do there. That's a different story. We'll have to wait and see
Making it there. That's already a great start
We've seen a lot from the gentleman's guys today the emotions of making it to these big events making it
Are not the slowest fanatic are no strangers
Who the fuck is first and second to count them out just yet?
Yeah, yeah
half of a map that they are normally very good at but liquid every time seem to be finding answers finding
impossible rounds you call pause and liquid come in with a
phonetic
Early aggression doesn't find anything but look at the second layer after talking up in the standard chamber spot now
He's gone creeping that's taking so much space, but alpha's ready
Big kill. Big punish.
They've got a lot of ults here. I think the players immediately group up and execute immediately.
Before the other team can react, let's not get fucked and fucked around waste time.
Yeah.
Yeah, it feels like it. Who is that on B?
Gammo. He's got a judge here. This is like the most common at fucking angle.
If anyone runs up in scales like this without utility, they should be fired.
Let's get a scale, scale can go, scale can scale left, scale can scale left, I don't mind it, scale left, K.O. K.O.
Not the soba, K.O. Nice trade.
Okay, this is risky.
Oh god, I'm getting scotched with a cover, oh my god.
Honestly though, I don't hate kayak pushers.
Yeah, the regroup they did it, yeah.
Big, big, big.
Oh my god, that was kind of scary. I thought Kanna was going to push the smoke and die.
He's around. How's the money for Liquid? Is it healthy?
Oh.
I don't know. It's because of the last buy, right?
Should be a leak off of this.
This is a full buy.
by. Okay so they had a successful default last round and they default again. And Liquid
now have another mid push. But Alpha's more passive. Alpha's gotta be aware of the gap
bottom mid. They have to re-clear mid together here. No
I don't like the no-reclear. He knows they use so much useful here. Now this guy is in an advanced spot that we have to be worried about all rounds.
I think they're banking on the war by the Vice-Tour, but they will not all the way through.
They're truly true true true.
Big entry tag.
Alpha caught the flank. Now it's a double flank.
I
different layers to it every time fanatic on anti-eco they're playing like
So default like take fast
Like or okay, don't take a man fast I am all wait to see if they push a main five ten seconds
Then take a name
After we take a name
We leave one
safe
Jiggling in the back
We re clear mid
Then we go deep
We have one one three the whole round
I think they should just find a site and look at it as an arcade.
I don't hate that either, because realistically, it's liquid stacking the site.
I don't hate a 5 man hit off the rip.
I think 5 man A is a bit better.
Because the care is absolutely taken over.
I actually don't hate a 5 man hit if it's a full execute.
We already know how to do it.
It could be good
Yeah
Yeah, they should use you till here though, I don't like the dry peak, but oh my god, he got away with it
I was fucking risky. I feel like you don't want to take risks on anti-eco, right?
Like use your fucking use something that was almost definitely
On the gun round, take your risk, maybe.
They hear the full execute.
And it's looking good.
Now the question is how do they play the post plant? They have the full site.
They have a lot of post plant useful though. They can play off.
And leave Kayak. Leave Kayak to kill him. Everyone else get off.
Good job.
Let's see, Camel moved towards Heaven, but it will be done.
What the fuck is he just falling in front of him?
How'd he get there?
I scared the shit out of him.
He's put a liquid a man down, smoked.
Crash is fucking risky as hell for that.
They get close to the spike, but everybody's falling.
Might have been overkill with Alpha-Olt because they're on eco,
but they have this other utility for it, but it's OK.
Bro, they can find both of our staff.
They wait for A.T. and save 5-man hits.
Yeah, yeah.
It was nice.
now the big one here
what do they do here
what about a rush
yeah back to back
go back to back a but this time you go fast as hell
like send them out
oh well
oh then i'll gonna do that
let's see
Okay, set up like the B flank again.
Take aim in slowly.
Liquid are like more hesitant to do anything now.
They have been punished on push.
What did they break right there? The trip?
Not quite, but hey, we'll take it.
Get in towards the site
Got wall
We're doing here
I don't I feel like they didn't have a plan for the post plan
fucking as well.
But everyone was...
It happened yesterday.
They were all done.
I didn't know what they should do either.
Even I can see everything.
I
Not our first energy in two hours no actually doesn't that start soon
You're right you're right
Right into ours
three rounds in a row. I kind of like it.
Just also don't walk into a trip here.
Maybe my flood. Maybe my flood.
Looks like they're trying to leave kayak and set alone.
It's a big tag. Big spams. Huge skill.
Traits, trades, trades. Traits!
I don't know what there's what stopped me like I feel like kaiak was out there for 20 years
I mean everyone else that just faded before we even got out of main
Stats are not helping
I'm being stuck in the time, I'm seeing you're stuck in the time of the two, oh my god.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's just infinite inception.
Spot him.
I think he did.
Maybe not.
They put them closer to a map four and to at least take the pressure off early drone a man
I
Just gave that angle
That curse might be ending here thing is he's done that so many times
Like he has been there a lot to be fair to be fair. I agree with you
He has played there
Alpha you do again
one
Free to think one they needed more from that
To be for a quiet game
It's a tag round. We certainly belong to him and crashies. It's even just trying to escape away
I
Being sent in to deny
And a swing surely coming the second
Stop right now
Time that I've had to
experiences in one day in 24 hours. The match point. It's the fourth match point like this.
Yep.
It happened yesterday and they had match points twice and this happened twice. And then they had...
Not four. Yeah, this is my fourth time.
That was...
I should have gone to the co-club.
the defense that might have been the last time you get to play it okay okay we
can't give up if we give up they're gonna give up agree another shot as
liquid stand on the precipice of a three zero victory over fanatic that we have
not seen for a long long time good shock good shock they're doing this
same setup they've been doing basically all of this game on both sides of the
map they've been able to get in like the last four rounds actually heavy
We are going towards B but it can be okay if we have a good excuse here
Drone on a it's a fake they're not really biting
Right in my train because in the back see more here
For me two boys hold that line he's crossing not dead in the water just yet good jiggle good jiggle great jiggle
This is the shot to start as well
Fnatic might just above themselves all good alpha player game. You're alone. We have a flint coming
Another shot. We have a flint coming soon. Just take your time here guys
It's never
So soon, so soon
It's a great job
Oh god, you got it
Just look at it
Just look at it, would you?
Let me get a smile on Boaster's face
Someone fucking take one, please
No, he's too lucky
I know, but we need him to crack a smile
Because you need to take off some of the
The load
Are you serious?
Yes, he's feeling
You gotta have a little bit of a fun factor here
I'm telling you to help a little bit
You stress that out
I'll tell you what though
You know I'm locking when he was like
I'm a lock-in like leaning back
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah
He's like thinking he's like locked in yeah
I believe you I believe you on that
As a result, the 5v4, the Camo has been able to pull back advantages, create so much space
but they are grouping up to deal with it, and I swore by virtue of the training, numbers
still have been out of fanatic but no mistakes to be made here, he's put ears on liquid
of a week, even individually, one round like this and now they're going to go and get
It's starting to look spooky and around
This has got to off on a retake here
Maybe we should stay still
Have a fight in them
Crashings will be spotted operator on the retake
They do not know about flank
If they attempt to get aggressive it's a mid shot
It's a takeover!
Again!
A quick double!
Blink, can you miss it?
Crashings has only a 40 to 50
He's been flanked on
Popo's coming in from behind
He's locked in a fight
And he doesn't even know he's already lost
4v3
Stay strong! Stay strong, Yinsu!
We gotta stay strong here!
That's a 4v3. That's a 5v4 4v3, yeah.
He made a play. He made a play.
they let this slip not just being in a position where they were one round away
for making it to Santiago yesterday or one round away twice from closing this
map out from continuing this series from keeping up the good fight but now
again they have to come back. The team known for playing from behind while
they're behind in the map behind in the series and it looks like their look
could be running out 13 of 14 and a slow
putting good at this time that's okay we've not seen much from this defense in
terms of aggression in this round which is yeah it's scary if you're fanatic what
are they up to now lost time out
and I think we're gonna fuck around it a little bit
three plan setup still remains on b with I guess they want to be being
I
Based off of what they see the side where they go they saw neon they're gonna go be I guess off of that. Yeah
Okay
Wash them off
Beautiful flash holy fuck
Two more here say lots played together
Flash peek again. That's the kill last time
Kayak
He's locked in go for that fucking fork it fuck it, dude
Believe it what a flash
That's beautiful the layer the layers
Yeah, it's crazy because their a retake is so good, but they can't hold you in like three or four guys
So it's so strange, right
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he had the right idea
100% I don't even think Fanatics flashed that angle before I don't know if they have them
but here we go
Fast they hit wow you just reached
They missed
My god alpha alpha see scandals met overheated a little bit. It's okay though
It always feels like there's hope going for the drone
getting them at least a little bit of information both to take it a deeper angle
but left with a solo fight that operator nice work in buster all the
remains as many we've seen magical moments he wins this after a gap but on
70 HP this might just have to be the best of them and he has to go moving
Oh my god, it is stressful. I feel like I'm kind of changing it through you. It is looking incredibly stressful.
Many opportunities here recently
Where you're like friends and family
Yeah, yeah, no, I think watching this is worse infinite
It's out of your control
Yeah, I just think as a spectator you have it worse though
potentially about four because I feel like we're seeing like everything it's
out of our control but while you're actually playing just in the moment
that it's just going by you know
I bet the crowd was sick there
yeah yeah
they were like going wild
yeah
I'm guessing this is more of just a talk about maybe an idea a change of
that they can make in that setup on B, but also then it allows the time for the mindgames
on the other side.
Do we make a change, or do we just keep going for that B site here?
It has been so successful for Fnatic.
Again, I almost want to look back to how Liquid started off the series.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Yeah, I think this would be
I mean for now they haven't used mid for a while. Maybe they split this round?
The drone shouldn't make it
I like the split, I like the split
Yeah, yeah, they're aware as fuck though, that's the problem
Currently the defensive side are running around in the spawn. They're going back and forth and how do we like make control?
Pressure this guy. Oh my god. It's hiding the time in
Oh
here. Jiggle?
All the time, I mean.
Oh no, and that's good.
Still winnable.
No, it's not.
That's possible.
That's right. They had that. They had that.
That small gap of waylays swinging heaven getting a free kill,
allowed nasty good a free kill as well.
no joke I think it's because of that boaster had it but then he got timing
on this one yes yeah I think I think about boaster had a no joke and then I
think that kill allowed not to get another kill
Yeah, I mostly jiggle and then he crossed after.
Okay, at least I'm glad that Kayak is not on that same angle on mid.
Yes, we are adapting.
All is forgotten. I don't even know what liquids the hero plays mean nothing attack is like they poke around
Midship I've been right again
Yeah
They're actually
Yeah
Hamo
Is a little bit of pressure boasters not biting
There's two on B, past playing other side, Alpha's leaning as well.
Here's the re-clear, I like this.
Oh.
B hit, it's commencing.
Self-done, self-done.
Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof!
You're insane, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I did, I did, I did, my team is uh, I didn't see the match, but was he just like, did he watch the games?
Well, obviously he watched the games.
Yeah.
You at the club.
Yeah.
That's my side, that's my side.
He was by kayak.
As he said, it's his sight.
And the deadliest of Juo's on that fanatic side have stepped up.
The question is can they close?
That's true, Vort, so true.
Either side have had their opportunities for liquid. It would be taking them.
Okay, they have a double tryps on B again, so this is an extra layer you'd have to deal with.
Yeah, they don't know about this double tryps, they haven't tried to...
And a monumental fight back in Neko, back to Neko.
It's where they've been successful, but they need to stay alive.
The last catch is gone.
That's in bullshit.
Oh, so is Bochus.
Oh, you are, you are, you are.
What is never ending.
It's gracious.
They didn't feel...
Ah.
Left behind the smokes, way out of the play.
Ooh.
I hate that.
They were the very first surgeons needed.
Even that kill on the mat's unlikely to bring them anywhere closer.
Without it.
In the flying now, known to be coming through.
They are boxed in they've got to come out swinging with no real
Everyone with
Another overtime these teams impossible to separate but again as these rounds one for liquid
It's like well, we got two more, you know, we can still win this we got two more
You know whatever magnetic you were dying every round and it's got to be burning through their late game energy
I don't care if you go serve ma pt
You don't mean I'll carry you off here man
Fuck outta here
Why there's no way that
There's no way he means that
Absolutely none
Shucked up early
A nice little pot flash man
Nice little bit of tickle damage
To start off the round
They have 3A
Okay, they're playing in
2, 3, 4
They're playing in
Don't beat me on board, I'll be fine.
Stay strong, Institute, got us here.
There's no one that does that.
Right, we've got a gang question mark.
Yep.
Killing Alpha in response was just nuts.
But again.
Minibus facing A-Main.
It is another moment where Liquid looked to close.
I haven't seen a mid-walk out of Fnatic.
No U-Tilt.
Yeah, it's the third.
It's one thing to look at the gall of Liquid, the defensive progression that we
We saw but that's been a while. Yeah
It's what Nats is known for. He's had to temper his aggression out. I'm spotting from Nats
People figured out how he likes to play and we always said that we're doing pressures and stand
People realized well, obviously he's always behind you, but he's reinvented himself again and again and now as a leader
He's looking to keep us straight up internationals the strongest
They kill three to three
We know he's here. This means as much to them as it does to liquid, but it might not matter
What are you talking about?
Camo!
Riding some checks for himself on back side!
He's playing well.
And it looks like he's on the gas!
That's not going to be...
Wow!
They have delivered!
Wow, you've heard it so well.
I didn't even see what Crash has died.
I lost the old man!
No, no, no. It's actually a hard play for them.
Oh my God.
I can't believe it.
They're going to have a bad time recovering from this.
This is a tough one.
No way. There's absolutely no down way.
This team runs it back, fire games in a row, versus a new bill
super team versus a legendary fanatic versus
Meadie Booze, brother, and a bunch of players
is ready to run into.
I can't believe through them, one by one by one.
Seemingly getting better as they went.
Liquid fighting, dude.
After that, I was thinking about maybe this
is the end of the journey.
And then in the games today,
Whether it was a dominant victory on their opponent's map choice with a new comp, whether it was ridiculous plays coming out on bind, or whether it was an insane OT run back and forth again and again.
This team...
This one is insane.
I'll take a look in a sec.
And this team deserves their spot over a Masters.
It feels like the first time we've seen this many rookies. This many new faces going to the international...
much matched though. I would have liked to see it go further honestly but congrats
with where they fucking look insane yeah that was a crazy game I mean a lot
sloppy moments sure it was but it was crazy it like sure once he was
capitalizing on those man advantages I agree it's also the fanatic it's a
massive tip of the fanatic and he's seen tilting it was like the way you
described it his last couple days have just been a lot it's not a limited
Yes.
Look at this dude.
Heretic's dropped Minibu and he made it to Masters over them.
Yeah.
tier one before getting mini blue after leaving a heretics roster he'd been with
for a couple of years and turn him into something new evolving as his brother
said
the way it sounds it's been these last several days
But it seems like once again this liquid squad is heading to an international hang.
If they do the trifecta once more, who is to doubt the players, who is to doubt the coaches,
who is to doubt everybody behind the scenes, this team is made for international events, no matter who is in their path.
That certainly seems to be the case.
Team Liquid were an impressive and historic victory over rivals Fnatic.
fanatic the kickoff course continues
maybe who's walking back
mean we'll keep on making it to these
internet show I think again there are
the stats here it's gonna have a lot
of representation for me at the world
better watch out especially for the
all the hours down take it away with
Natsum master way thank you
Tom and Mitch once again the odds
mean nothing in this it's a liquid
on the third and last team that
we're sending to Master Santiago
Congratulations Wayne and Nats first of all and Nats you guys came back from so far
You know you dropped in the lower bracket almost two weeks ago and then you made the historical run
So I was wondering you know
How did you keep believing in the process taking each game at a time and managing to bring such an incredible performance today?
I think we just believed and from the experience last year and I'm personally for me
I mean everyone most of the people knows that I have a curse that I'm one year qualifying one note and
And I actually decided this year to not be that year and I wanted to prove the opposite.
Even though the start of the tournament wasn't the greatest for me, but at least the curses broke.
Got a nice run.
We went through the lower bracket from the beginning.
After the game against Wolff, the game against Wolff, the game against Giants when we start changing...
Is it crazy the lower bracket run?
Overall, I mean there is no much point to just not believe in yourself and just doubt yourself and feel the fear because there is no...
There's no point in not believing yourself.
I mean, yeah, it's fucking true.
Yeah, so you just...
Any way you play, you work every day and we just...
That's it.
Wise words, no fear of losing, only grinding in that, you know, gave you success today in Wayne.
This has been incredible, right?
Three weeks ago, you were considered as a rookie.
The team even played without you their first game, you know?
And now you're in Masters, so how did that journey feel?
And do you have any advice you want to give maybe to rookies that may be very envious of your position right now?
I think if I want to give advice to rookies, I think it's just like
Just like no
Have some confidence in yourself and like just do whatever you want and like
Damn, okay, buddy
The past few games we changed. Yeah, and I think now everyone is like so comfortable
We're just playing our comfort agents right and we're just playing as a team like with confidence and I were not letting the enemies play
Yeah, so yeah, that's why you want to be confident and have fun, right?
That's the key maybe to success especially on Coral
You guys made a lot from the Coral Compa by the way
That was that was really fun and not I got to chat with Wayne earlier on this day
And it was speaking about your words
You know the speech is that you give at the beginning of the games and how important they are for him that you kind of
He's he's hot as fucking there, dude
What do you think me hot?
He's just an incredible teammate. He has incredible talent. He has incredible work ethics
I would say and it's like even though he came from the
Tier 2 region he came from the different region and they're not tier 2 region
Sorry from the tier 2 from the Pacific
Yeah, from another region and he a lot of players when they come to tier one they take it as granted and
I wouldn't say that's about the way and even without trying to making
Like a good or something, but that's true because there is a lot of people nowadays they come and they think oh
I'm in tier one and I'm just not gonna do more
And I'm just gonna do what you I do in tier two and I think he is the opposite right now. He's
Working the most he's trying to show himself and I think that's how it's supposed to be
I'm not taking things for granted and my last question is going to be about
there's one more game going on in VCT NA tonight which is going to be NRG vs MIBR.
I want to have your prediction, who will be the last team to join you in Santiago voice?
I mean, it's Gio Keiko is playing.
That's why I'm asking you the question.
I cannot say anything else, right? I mean, I think NRG.
Easy NRG.
I think I don't believe you.
I think NRG and you're going to be rooting for them even though Keiko is playing with them?
I want to play against them.
He wants to prove Keiko that he wasn't the best
All right, you know
Before we cut it today, let's toss it back to Jimmy for our drone show for stage one. Thank you for having us
We have to set the stage for next stage so I'm joined with junk food
Let's see their draw our draw for America has been done already be showing us the team
So the rules are actually pretty simple the 12 themes will be drawn into two groups alpha and omega
Teams are seated based on their kickoff final standings
They're then going to be split into six fun game
No from 11 12 up to 1st and 2nd the draw starts with the lowest seated tier and proceeds upward
The first team that we're going to be drawing will be put into group alpha
And then the remaining teams are gonna be put into
Omega pretty soft a pack groups will look at after this
We'll be entering group alpha fuck you, Terak
And that leaves of course
Pacific
What is there
I'm not going to have the master's
right. Let's go. Either Casey or
which one? Hey, what do you
mean? Casey Casey's in the group
with foot.
That leaves course.
I don't know how good some of
these Omega. I'll get some of
Who's Ulf?
Pool number 3 is going to have Na'Vi and GX to see who's going to join group alpha.
Why's there no music?
There's no music.
Na'Vi.
It's love.
Okay.
It's a Turkish team Ulf.
I personally can't say how stacked they're not.
Either group is, so I'm going to lean on the chat.
Are you watching this draw in too?
I am, I am, I am.
which group is looking sex so far?
O.F. is gonna have their full roster by stake right?
So they're like, F in my opinion,
are forced to be reckoned with.
I see.
Into group alpha?
Like you'd probably, ah, actually a giant sex
in Pacific.
I think the group, Omega.
Omega is the one you could write.
Wait, I don't know.
It really depends on where Mates and BBR go at this point.
But I think everybody needs to respect
that O.F.'s full roster is gonna be insane.
Yeah, kind of similar to a crew in America's like they didn't have their full team and now they will yeah
joining group alpha
Fanatic I would say group Omega looks like the group to be in
Oh, I don't know about this now if BBL goes into group Omega
Oh my god, no group Omega is much harder
Really a your group Omega is in
Ridiculous
today. Yeah, we're we're gonna
Yeah, I appreciate you. Okay.
All right. Bye bye. Bye, mate.
Wiansu. Yeah.
Wiansu now.
Now what?
the liquid run
the LR is getting
fucking bombarded right now I can't use it
I
Mark let's see
Hey, what are you guys doing to be our man get off the site dude. I'm trying to test that's
Oh, there we go
Yeah
Liquids run you guys are saying was crazy
It's who one all
Who's a Turkish team, but they don't have their starters yet
And then
2-1 Giant X, 2-0 Heretics, 2-1 Vitality, 3-0. Yeah, I mean it is a lot.
I
What's happening?
That's the five is one for the history books.
Victor?
you
So who's the three from the MEA?
This gentleman is BDL and now Liquid.
The three from APAC is Paper Rex, T1 and Nongshim.
And then China is all gamers, EDG and Chi-Li.
And then America's, here we go.
Who will join?
Syria and G2.
Alright.
Ah!
I want NBR to win.
Who would you guys rather win NBR?
I gotta say NRG.
I got my dogs there.
Even though I fucked with NBR too.
I think NRG will win.
And I would be down for them to win
Yeah
Arc or Valorant, I don't know
I'm having decision paralysis right now I feel frozen
We need to sit here in bullshit. I'm actually down to just sit here and do nothing for a second
Go watch some DCT hollocks. No, that's not what we're doing. This is watching DCT for fucking the last 20 hours
It would not be watching music dial-ups right now well, we've also glad to see it all but
The forsaken ace is nuts
Like on arc for a little bit low key
That was a mortal first.
you
I
Guess mode brick Roman smoking
That's what they do
and this is starting to feel like it's right before my eyes and I can't stand it, it's my
Discord Remake?
Maybe next year I'll have no time to think about the questions to address
And I don't want to try to stop the fire
I'm running destined, I'm not the best you can have a day
Never watch, I've got anything I'll never just remember
I
Change the title I change the title hold up. That's true. I think right now it says watch party, so
We make the title I don't know what I'm doing though. The problem is I don't know what I'm doing for change the title
One, two, one.
You said that you had it.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
This guy dropped off his parcel while stuck in traffic.
Nah.
Did I see the jump and drop a little bit? Yeah.
You guys are fucking terrifying.
you
You
I'm just playing like uh, random Spotify shit.
Spotify shit, bro.
I don't have a real rock playlist.
What happened?
What is happening in the chat?
I'm so out of the loop, man.
I'm kidding, I hope you guys are having fun.
What flavor is my vape?
Cinnamon toast crunch.
My shit.
Derek, can I ask you something?
YouTube chat, shoot away.
Honestly, I didn't feel so hot today.
But that's okay.
We're here for it.
Oh, oh, lock in.
I
Sorry about
You don't have a single thing in your how does this be how does he show up with nothing does that mean he just loaded in with zero
Not even a free kid
You friendly or not you friendly or not so I'm friendly bro
I
That's her own
Joe I'm friendly it's an animal
Okay, look
We have enough we only have like an hour, but the goal here chat is to basically go on a stellar free kit
Kill people with shit get out and then use that shit that I get out with to come back in
with a kit
We will not
Be going in with anything. What do you say? I have some issues with aiming on Valorant
I always lift my shots. What do you think I can do about it?
So I feel like he's genuinely asking me based off of the way you type that.
If you want to get better aim, the best way to get better aim is to work on your cross
air placement and probably do some aim drills consistently, like 15 to 30 minutes a day.
Kind of run an aim drill, like aim labs or whether it's a DM, follow a routine, honestly
go on YouTube and type fucking aim guide for Valorant and follow a drill and do that every
day for two weeks and your aim will be better. And then aside from that, crosshair placement.
Do I know how to get out of here? I think it's this way, right?
Stop playing Valorant and hit the gym. I thought about ending Shreeman going to the gym,
But alas, I think it's further up.
Hey, hey, chill, chill, dude.
Same team, brother.
Same team.
See, Tyra, something's in the mixture.
Never use them.
come on bro, my aim ain't that bad, is it?
Honestly, I like Stella when it's like night mode.
Dark mode?
Night mode.
I
Think that's below me right
So I can do this jump
My god
Big!
Where the fuck is everybody? It's a late raid too.
I got a pharaoh and a dream, brother.
I'm surprised no one's holding. What is this room called, by the way?
I know this is like TSA over there, but what is this area called?
Because that's where the action's at.
What is this game? Walking simulator? Chill, bro. Those people near me, I think. In this
game, you just have to assume that someone is near you. Lobby third floor, I see. You
just got to assume there's someone there. Even though I'm sorry, I feel like there's
There's no one near me.
Maybe the fight's a yes all one?
Oh shit, I need to lock in.
Where?
Well, coordinates.
What's that body?
Oh, what the fuck?
I thought it was an arc.
You have my blinds?
Love you.
arc you have my blinds
love you
what is everybody
those guys below me
I think they're at train station, but there's no way I'm going out to kill them.
I need to find someone else.
Oh, there's one up here.
Oh, shit.
I sucked it.
I suck dick
Yo, in front of me, chill
I'm- I'm friendly! I'm friendly, bro!
I pressed the wrong buttons
Nah
No, listen, dude, I thought you guys were gonna change to me earlier
Nah, I'm cool, I was- I've been here since the-
What?
I'm down to team up with you guys if you defend me. I won't shoot you
What is he saying oh he's asking me if I'm Bosnian bro, I thought I I thought I just like I thought I disconnected IRL
I was like he's speaking English and I don't understand it
Use your Pagax when you have no ammo?
Well, I just wish I could jump off a little faster, but I can't because I'm fat as shit.
you
I've watched you play this game at least five times. I've never seen you extract that's weird because usually I always extract
So it might be a you thing my guy
Time I write
Team spawn brah team spawn sing death
What the fuck is happening out here?
I
Don't I must that
I'm so fucking dead
We're both locked shit, huh?
you
Don't shoot me past, bro. What do you mean? Don't shoot me. I got a fucking Rattler, dude
just gonna saw ass
What does it have anything I can use?
Help, help, I'm friendly!
This is so ratty, but I feel like he'll walk in here eventually, no?
The problem with this gun is that I can't one-clip him, so I need to clip him, reload,
Well, I take cover and then repeat which is just a little hard to do
And he just peace out I'm not gonna lie
wait what the fuck I actually am is this not is there not a guy there
there's a guy across right I'm not speaking tell me there's a guy across
If I was not a guy across then I might have to end this room here
Look, I know the game was bad, but I'm still having fun. So fuck it
God that I don't believe it.
I wasn't naughty enough. Yeah.
So I got time while she got me done.
High frets gonna get the key.
Best days in the summer.
Find a man that's gonna pull her home.
Well I'm out of where she's no time to sleep.
with a rally dude
I'm sorry bro.
Yo, what is happening out here?
Now that I have one clip, the guy with a rattler right there chat.
Why is this Ark camping the corner?
Multiple headshots?
Wait, if I can multiple headshots, I can one clip him?
I thought I was just guaranteed no matter what you can't.
Okay, I hear how lot of people by me.
I
What are these are our son
This is bad though, I have a fucking Rattler, how do I get down from here?
Awesome.
Awesome
Yeah, I hate my life right now
Oh
Shit, what the fuck's happening here?
I
Y'all
Yo, what is that lid, and why does this guy have lube?
I'm gonna buy a lube in this unfortunate lid, but I need a fucking show of recharger.

I don't want to get up from here, I want to go up.
Is there a guy up here?

Where the fuck am I?

that guy man fuck I deserve it yeah maybe well I don't want to okay to be
fair no I guess I deserve it I don't know
am I okay I seem off today I know I don't feel great today I'm not gonna lie
I think I just took too long to kill that last guy. I missed my third shot
Damn
We got about 30 minutes here before the game starts.
Late raid.
Definitely someone here though
I mean you deserve it bro, I'm not gonna lie.
trupa trupa that dog.
Take a break freshen up.
I don't know what I can do to make myself feel better.
Other than keep tripping.
I'm not having fun playing this just.
One of those days, but I guess I could put cold showers.
Yeah, it's okay.
Be friendly to others.
Look, I know it's just respawn simulator, which might not be that fun to watch, but
I mean, I'm having fun and I will have a good raid eventually.
It's a matter of when.
I like Night Raid.
My first year?
I could be first.
Which is big.
This is the most ratchet you can do now.
If anyone is new to arc creators, you go to lobby, you sit on this doorway, if you're
the first guy here, these motherfuckers are going to climb over that ledge and then you
fucking just kill them and they're going to probably say some racist shit, you take
them out quick though.
They will be, someone's above me, unfortunately.
fuck
fuck, this is not good, he's up there
can't lie
I'm gonna just wait for the next guy anyway
There he is. There he is. Look. Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait for it. Come on in. I
think he has a Toro, no? I hear a shotgun out there. Come on in, buddy. Give me that
Toro, buddy. Give me that Toro, buddy. Climb the ledge. It's free, bro. It's yours.
Take it. Take it, bro. He's healing.
Take it.
Take the room. Your first one here, dude.
You still healing? That long? Two shield rechargers?
Tom? Talk to him?
like actually I will talk to him in a second when I put his ass down but why is
he not coming in some and he knows now I want to go upstairs I think I waited too
long though I'm committed to this kill
shut up
Alright, I give up. No one up. Fuck it.
What's wrong with that guy? Why does he- I just got complaining so much.
What does this guy seem?
There's so many people out here.
I don't shoot my ass, we're shooting on site buddy.
Free kid enjoy.
Someone's mad.
I don't know, I guess the...
Oh, there's one.
I can't kill that guy from here, though.
There's a team of two.
They're gonna breach maybe?
Yo, where is everybody?

open mic and say your mic son

There's just ain't no way no one's coming here into lobby.
ain't no way that's what I'm reaching I have to
well in TSA I'm getting impatient unfortunately we don't have enough time for this play if I had
more time I would ride
I'm going to die in this all day.
How the fuck can we kill a team of two with a snitcher?
Oh my god, what the fuck did I just do?
This is a fucked up angle. I'm not gonna lie. I don't know how I can kill him

Focus on a different guy?

Thank you.
There you go. Put the body up there.
Yeah, you're my son.

I
You get out this door
Oh my god, I just tried spraying my kettle. Also, oh, I'm hella confused. I'm hella confused.
I'm not gonna lie. Wow, I fucked up so bad. I tried spraying my kettle and then also I
thought... Ah, I fucked up. I fucked up. Also, how did that guy not die? He must have
medium shields. Shoulder shots so I can see. Yeah I fucked up. Game is starting?
Ah yeah right? 10 minutes? LG right here? I'm fucking addicted right now.
True arc right here. Yes sir. Whatever, true.
I still don't understand how happy this game. I think watching is not as fun
is playing probably but I mean right now I'm fucking around in Stella so I think
it's one of those games that are fun to play I don't know how I enjoyed what it's
to watch I think it's fun to watch too but
yeah
I mean I'm not playing the game the right way just to be clear like right
now I'm not playing the game how it should be played at all I'm playing
like a BR. I'm just dropping in, but I just fun to like fucking troll people and shit.
Oh god.
I
Playful is free but not paying 40. That was a kettle. Yeah
I mean, I think it's definitely
Worth the 40 bucks if this if you're into this kind of game because it's like super
well optimized and
No, no, it's just a good game and I'm not even a gamer like that
I think 9 out of 10 people would say it's a good game.
Usually games like this are 60 bucks too, right?
Well, Optimize is a stretch.
Well, I guess I do have the fastest PC possible.
So for me, it's Optimize.
I don't know about for you guys, that's true.
For me, it runs smooth as hell.
But sometimes there's games where even if you have a good PC, it won't run that
well.
And I feel like that's what I base it off of.
Like, but yeah, I don't know how it is if you have a weaker PC, not as good PC.
Where am I?
I don't even know what that does I was a crazy job man can I pick that back up
I don't even know where this guy went, but
Let's go.
Y'all, let's go right away.
what the fuck why did he run he shot me and ran my nades scared him
it's a breeze that fuck my life dude
someone's playing fuddy wop is that fuddy wop
What's going on here?
What?
Oh!
I don't have- oh my, yeah, just end me.
Alright, I never done this before, I see how it works.
I'm trying to bait someone into that.
Wait, will it- don't mind me chat, no, right?
I just have someone run by it, right?
I
Walk
How do I not
How does it work though?
oh that's a lucky music
I think here.
I think you can go.
Get, get, get, get, get.
I don't get it.
The beach keep up.
I don't get that.
I don't.
I don't get it.
I don't understand.
I don't get it.
I'm going to home drive.
I'll be ready instead I couldn't extract had to prove them wrong had to prove them wrong
All right, all right some of the watch ready
It was a ray gun about W. There's definitely a raid
All right, let me do a title swap here
I might be our NRG. Oh, I already swapped it. WMOTS. U2 VCT Americas. And then, I think
You were good
Yeah lost this heartbreak in close best of five on Friday Saturday
You absolutely smoke the team like didn't look in sorts the individuals weren't performing and now with limited time against an energy
Who I think is only now hitting their peak in kickoff with that hundred thieves win. This is a situation
All right. Thank you, right for them to pull out of it. Thank you guys energy. Just all righty
their identity when we're watching it is about that time a lot of those you tell a lot of the
turn off auto ads deepening their playbook the whole time and on top of that you have every
player on top nice little arc rate or break this one i feel like for nrg this is kind of what we're
going to expect today coming out from the champions trying to prove themselves as those
bat former champions they have a huge title to hold up to and turn this up and now it's
time to drop that no not at all yesterday i even predicted that my br just because i solely
believe that the solo individual talent could step it up and take that away, but we saw that lacking
just the volume. That's good, huh? That if they don't have something going for them, then it is just
going to go NRG's way with how well they've been looking. Yeah, that is also the same reason why I
went with NRG. I'm thinking about this endurance race that MIBR are going to have to take. It's
going to be tough. It's going to be grueling. And one thing that we saw from NRG was a team
that just look like they're in form and it is scary and you're going up against the world
freaking champions in order to qualify for Masters Santiago so much is up for grabs here
but this is it folks the final best of five to determine who punches their ticket to Chile
bct america starts right now oh god it's not a good look oh we need to put a message
Hold on, he's not a good look for the kid.
I think this time we're going to get a little bit more scrappy, a little bit more proactive.
We're going to play how we want to play.
We've played against energy before, so I think we're going to be even better prepped
this time feeling how they play and we'll be even more ready.
I think it's an added motivation for us to make it.
He wants to be able to play in his own country in front of the home crowd and we really want to get him there.
Today's match is going to die. It's the last ticket to Santiago.
We lost to the Minneapolis, hopefully the Gower revenge.
I
I'm not missing any of these types
Oh my
Do my mouse
Oh
My bad
Looking good
Looking freaking good
really have to walk in here with Mazzino especially trying to go home and play in front of his home crowd
Now let's bring out their opponent fighting for a spot in Chile give it up for NRG
The world champion NRG finding themselves
So I would actually argue in some familiar territory
She has a team that has been put through the ringer before and the last time they did that they won a damn world championship
So I think it's safe to say this team knows what adversity it feels like certainly
They're so comfortable in these kind of lower bracket positions and their team that just showed us
Do both teams can hear each other calls now
The cursor on the screen is also eating me my bad
We played against M.I.B.R. yesterday, G2.
I think this could be a good match.
Bind Corode's lips.
Pearl and Breeze are out.
they saw MIBR kind of had that upper hand on that was like their bread and butter
picks so betting that early if MIBR lose binds out what am I bear we're going for
here and going into these maps that we've already seen MIBR either play
against you to play against Furia in these big best of five they have to
be going into it I doubt bonker left any I'm thinking how good their split is
and if I might be a lose by the might be three off I don't think they have
a chance on corrode into a map first in a best of five series that their
opponent hasn't shown they did this yesterday so maybe it won't be like
Okay, I'm gonna go 3-1 and RG
Yeah, I agree with that chatter
That's my prediction
Gamba's up refresh something you could kind of hang your head on if you're if you're and my baby like hey
You know we know what the bread and butter is on I mean
We have to play into the fact that they have two of the potentially best duelists on paper in these team
America's kickoff you have a spas and second and on a map like bind where it's just so fast
Having that double duelist is really good. Yeah able to get up those
meditating
Fast fights using the TP to kind of make a lot of these really quick split decisions and as well second
I just feel about the format due to fatigue for MIBR.
I understand why the format looks kind of shitty because they have to play 3 back-to-back
BO5s, but it's them being given a bunch of chances to qualify, so I don't think the format
is bad, I think it's fun.
It's exhausting for the players, sure, but I feel like, honestly, I think it's fun
for the players and the spectators.
I think it's been a good format.
Even if you do have to play these back to back BL5s, which is a lot, I feel like it's really fun.
You really don't get a...
too many matches in battle, so this year, you do.
With the triple in...
Well...
Yeah, but yeah, I think it's fun.
Where they should be going to the global events lifting trophies perhaps but one of these teams is going to be left
We're big casters. Yeah, because it is the large record grand finals. There are almost second chances
There's only one more spot at Santiago up for grabs
There we go either way for one of these teams a loss is a failure, right?
It's it's missing out on an opportunity to be able to hunt for a trophy
Audio is good squads want to turn up one notch
I would say especially so for MIVR who are on the verge of losing those three best of fives in a row
We saw you fall to the same fate in Pacific
And it is a grueling test at M.I.B. Yeah, man. It is I get it
I face we have three chances here for this round of bind
G
It's heavy moves here. So I missed there with them all a bit of we'll do the job
It stops them momentarily mad at all to view straight past this
But the disrespect in order and these smokes as well
But what a name hockey bit of Nate will push this boxer plan denied for now
TPs as well. There's gonna be threats coming from every single angle for NRG here and it's up to them to see if they can stop to double-fight them.
My first bar is 3v3 on the side.
The burners low, he knows it. Angles to be played for here and he's trying to play his life in as a nice hero.
3v3 he goes low. What a flank.
He's gonna run on the most ridiculous wraparound around the world.
It's so late but it's actually dynamic duo.
Probably gonna work out this time
They like that for a second
What a plan what a plan what a beautiful plan for heaven right?
Time for heaven for the super lay flank
on a rifle round either double smokes down to just walk off a little area over
triple a bench very dangerous was he that was prowling inside of the smokes
and almost caught even if the plan was going down but I think that's what
first person to getting there energy the entire time yeah might be our
picking into it here because energy you've been perma banning it in there
well almost perma ban it they did float it in their first game at kickoff
Which implies that it's not a horrendous map for them, but they wanted to play it
So maybe I'm going over here think that they'll have a nice vantage
But the tape is up with them so you do have the opportunity to get caught by it
Gee, you know, there was a team everybody well drilled prepared at every moment
It's a good return on a fire there second at least takes him out
Scooby going down Stinger claimed it's not the biggest gun in the world
could potentially make a difference so as a stack of bodies ready to find this but
look at this pre-empted play by NRG and any sort of play that might be our
could be cooking mother to away from being able to get the conversion paths
online as well could be an enormous tool to start snowball going on their
attack side yeah super team by the way
hey it's real too man dimensional drift himself save that means that by the way
last time these two teams matched up in the game yesterday
They need it. They absolutely need it. Yeah.
She she is son.
A strong start on this map from our bonus here for energy from this map on for energy would spell
a disaster for mdr. This is where they want to begin the series on a good footing. It's always
you know the expectations I suppose while models on the lurk while they pressure be
It's two showers, though, it's a duo on showers.
Now Scoob is picking it up to lurk with the Outlaw.
Does that spells have armor?
Ooh.
They are up short, wow.
I
Dog and run
Everyone's dying off camera just kills happening all over the place is that's what's just going hunting for them
Yeah, it fully pushed out through showers 8 HP mash to take the one be one against Ethan
It's what we need to see from us fast. Big performance. I can move in the second movement
Pops off
It could be scary structure of the round makes sense
It is the individual stuff that tips it into their favor
I must be able to get both of those kills
Shilling down scuba and then taking the one we won against Ethan who's going to monitor the plan
can make sure that nobody was pushing from either direction to wrap around the
short players. You can't avoid talking about it. Aspas has been fairly dreadful
actually in the most recent games from MBR, but that is utterly unexpected. I
mean there's a reason why we're talking about him as great a small time
kind of candidate player. The player that's trying to build a legacy to
attend these events, fill out the trophy cabinet. He is so consistent and
And yet recently hasn't actually been able to find his form
But if he can come alive in this match, I think he's the extractor. He's the win condition for them
Weirdly enough looking at the stats is the fourth highest trigger as in the second lowest
Fraga for MIBR across this tournament, which you would just never believe. Yeah, we looked at the other day
They are stacked to the brim with talent, but still he's double shots. Damn, he didn't actually take any damage. Lucky
steam rolling ahead
got a plan
there is that flank as you called out
two plays of LBR
gonna be reaching the party
feeding out the utile, Ethan?
still being denied
utile was saved for the situation
just like this
Ethan's still looking for the next signs
of a dimensional drift
is giving otherwise
double flank
putting out the players
and that is a complete collapse
MIBR
laid out the trap
wow, MIBR like
suffocated them so well
they were just stuck inside
Aspire's evening up as well
of one map of Binds that MIBR played. Whenever they were playing over towards A, it was mainly
just Astro playing from Heaven. A native to Night Clan maybe. They were playing a lot
of weak A setups. I think NRG had done their homework, but they might be our one step ahead.
I think that's a key, key win condition for them in this series overall. You have
to get ahead of what you think NRG are going to be planning around.
So this is from the MIA? What do you mean? The pace of the game? Or the
other parts
Must be like something bad in the spot now for long enough that they should be able to make adjustments like this
Like for them to pause so early, have things gone really bad or do they just want to stop
momentum like off two rounds?
Maybe a combination.
Okay, half buy from NRG.
Yeah, bucking for Mata.
Gonna try to double dash this, let's see it.
So fast.
Ish, B-split.
Can't get it off.
I can't get it off. Yeah, there's TP. It's assertive. It's assertive. I'm behinds, really?
done on agents that aren't just jet and it's very very clear i'm glad for a second it is
eco anyway
how the fuck did they kill him still with a player down but that's a fun thing you don't really
want to put in their hands i mean even's way ahead of the park there flash forwards zekkin
he's gonna draw even more blood and there it is the follow up can't see one eco not terrible
The shoulder again aggression boxing them in never letting energy get out into sight where Kiko could have found some of those angles
to make the phantom shot
Like it from text just backing up slightly
Nate comes out to open the door. Let's ask us take our dual instant
And now I suppose hands a showstopper for a round way
Oh, that's true. 4 by elimination match. Yeah
We're just a game plan here, so they're not gonna go for that same short push. You know, I can have it all on long
I'm just gonna send it. He looks like he's wearing to go
Who last class is aggro again, you know, you know, they're doing something different
So I suppose it's not gonna run into a stack to draw forwards second is how committed here to Savos at his wow
I set the utils so well. Oh my god. Oh my god. Stop it
somewhere they stand that's a spike drop down as well they just walked into his
arms actually an enemy territory to smoke second set that up so well oh my god
the flash and take it they will take the fight to you today a team angry and
they've already paused by the way vernos revenge part two oh yeah I forgot
about that for a sec. It actually is Verna's revenge arc continued. Bro has not had enough.
Getting slanks. Aspash to get a freebie. Was he nice? Damn, they're looking good.
No
Well, this is this is the next round though where you don't exactly
Get what bonkers adjustment is gonna be coming out the second getting a pick there could go back to through all the youth
Well, they could just get them running through the back door
Be adjustment so that coach should look at me
I feel like once he heard the Skiles, he had to back away, but maybe he was hoping that
Cabbage will go towards B. You know what I'm saying?
Was it unfortunate that it came for him? But he is the closest up.
There's no way for him to push if Cabbage follows him.
Oh, attacks.
He's gonna hear a tail.
Burno. Uh-oh.
Burno's not there.
like we are witnessing a very angry M.I.B.R.
Now G.L.A. is scrambling right now looking to see if they can piece together any sort of semblance of a round.
They are falling though, dropping whittles to pieces.
Scuba and Kiko the last ones left smoking your face, but second still primed onto the angle.
Q straight shots he is low, still steps forward, still steps up to the challenge.
And all that damage,
Bruno got 3k again, Bruno's on, Bruno's shooting up as well.
We have multiple players shooting up at the same time.
sound the alarms despite asbestos energy sound the alarms call song I love the
push coming out from there you know they've got such a good read on what
energy you're up to you on their attack side it has been a map historically where
I think even struggled a bit to call these defaults without making them look
obvious but it's been a while since we've had that level of criticism here
though so it might be a might be our have just downloaded what energy are
going for an attack. And this again without the take. Second timeout on round eight. What's
happens? That's the sign of a team that's in trouble. Yes. An energy. Listen, we give
the accolades, I think to Barca. It's quite proven as a coach. He will give you a timeout
and call you a fantastic round in terms of reads, tendencies, something to exploit.
They already tried that in the previous tag time out and they might be able to one step ahead
They've been one step ahead actually in terms of the buying game plan
They move forward
Any lip readers have one layer
It is the best map probably
They might be out to start off this game is more hot than the EMA one. We're saying that I mean we just started
Yeah, it's hard to compare right now and I do you've been first-round banning it in most of them
Even though the EMA one was three. Oh, it was still a fun watch, but it's
I've got all of the pieces. Yeah
At least some resistance if not be able to match what they did in the upper bracket where they were able to defeat energy
Strong start off my beer
We were wondering the thoughts were there the fatigue potentially settling in
To play a lot of maps of valor in the past three days. Okay. Here we go off the pause
They look like a full of energy at least to begin. Yeah, and this is back to the original game plan for energy
This is what they were doing the first few rifle rounds all day too much in terms of the way
Wow
One entry
Yes
How do they plant? They have rocket on assbast
Oh where the rifle though reclaimed second vacating it showers control was taking the whole time
Spams and bullets he didn't pop rockets
against the back of the walls there this is hard this is so hard and because scuba has been trying to
look showers in all of these short push rounds they don't have an option to come back to them
could be good you know techs could have been pushing down here they know that he sent that
snake bite this run man they got the read that no one's pushed where is he they just ran back
to v texas alone taking up residency once more they're committing to this they found them
Guess the clearance of the text to onto that got out. Well, it's fire forward Salva's instantaneously a flash
Stuns wow wow wow well handles
Seconds alone here
Seconds gonna be facing nice up down model through K to the high low. This is a great mid round this time
players left
I'm gonna be looking to play into this when it realizes the chances are just way too slim
They've got an enormous amount of money to be able to work with, having won five rounds
in a row here.
See if NRG go and try to chase to get ults online, but save the ones with their economy
in a bit of a tumultuous spot.
I like the idea of going back over to being some of these failed short pushes, when you
go down short and you tap the plant a couple of times, and MMR have to smoke in
Not too shabby, off the pause!
Tell me what's next, what he would do against 4 energy players alone on the site?
I think the shitty part for Txtare was a Skydog, uh, finding him.
And then once the dog found him, he didn't get time to reposition before they jumped out.
So I think he had to repeat sooner, I guess, but, yeah.
Just put Util on the Skydog.
Okay, five three and now it's fast a second does not have an op as pass has an outlaw
Interesting
Yeah
Well played
They know both of them are here, right?
He's going to re-wrap short and let Viper tap Spike while he flanks.
Wait, they heard him.
He heard him.
Wait, no, he didn't hear him.
He didn't hear him.
Oh my god, what a rotate.
Second 1v2 now.
He's coming back to shower.
Skuba's holding.
They're playing this well.
has to wait for tap here because this is the best chance he has a flash I think
throw a flash on one side walk out the other oh he's worried about the roads
hey damn
Could have been a rotation to plant down in a second for the Spanish a fruit of
Got him
A few bullets leaves it into a 1v1, but crucially scuba still alive the pit remains
a blight on the map
An obstacle what a flash in his way. I should lend it his face taking it slowly steadily now
This is tough school has got a shorty. It'd be the Cade. He's got a tap spike and pull him out
K kicking in scuba relying onto the shorty quite a tap second was the full stick this one
What a great mid round again for energy Kiko made some fucking moves that's been around on short. Are you kidding?
Insane value from Kiko as well throughout that round watching scuba when the 1v1 clutch towards the end
But it's Kiko throws the spike over to scuba
Re-wraps around shore and that's after hitting a dvd a flick to deny
Just language. I think should have won the round here, but I don't know
He's just too good how he survives on three HP to get
Damn, they didn't repud. I don't know cuz if second gets that kill, it's a difference maker
It's a big difference maker. I might be I had so many chances of winning that round
Archie now all the time long view
It's good for it. Now G brute force through showers. I'm looking for this volts all online on some matter
Oh, he got him! He got him!
That's the brim all gone.
Freed!
Ooh, close.
Yeah, Aspa's holding hookahs.
Second lift.
Yeah, I think Zeck can have the jump on him, right?
to go through this guy. Yeah he does like this angle.
It's a lady of the force. See if they're ready for it.
That's a wide-faced swing.
Try to swim with the flash.
That's passive Nordic though.
Prevents any sort of follow-up and the smoke was instantaneously...
Monocon on the lurk.
Powers and Virno is pushing short.
Like a policy and Virno is going right around hunting for the strikers.
There is so proactive in the men of Ennich.
They've been aged death with no kills for NRG's IGL.
Oh my god. It wasn't even going for him.
NRG has kind of scrambling time.
I'm not gonna lie.
I can't even...
On the board, yeah statement the kind of scrambling
energy have definitely come in with a game plan, but
No pauses left by the way
Energy struggling to adapt. Thank you for the seven months. I think this could this can be a weakness to energy
If the reason that they have doesn't pay off immediately
There hasn't been any reason to fist bump in a while
I think he's trying to say that we haven't had a reasons of this problem in a while
try to contact me on the wall big kill
No, no value
Yeah, they're isolating the lyric
Oh my god, they have so much map control
Wait look at this angle they're holding look at this cross
Oh
What
Game a freebie for sure
Yo, Bruno getting through there when he got spotted first
Yeah, I thought I was gonna clean up the B site can this drone find second
Wow
Six shots. One V2. These shots were in us this round.
Oh, it's on. Three, two.
Almost there potential from text dude you can get control of time before energy
We've been a sire alone. He almost reset that amazing. They're caught up to five and
Mib are so much in control in terms of the way that they're running the positional play around the map
And yet they're just making enough small mistakes for energy to get back in in some of these crucial moments
But it's taking clutches
That's a old road. It's huge pretty big mistake from second get in live up by Brooks John
Let's go boys come on.
Asperess picks up the operator.
A weapon he's known for.
Alright, last round here.
In kickoff weirdly enough.
This is one more round left to be played for in this half.
It's spread here.
Focus from NRG over the wall.
Does that be long?
The slim?
Potentially spotting our Werner was he.
U2's got a bit wide there.
Ooh, Werner's retaking this control.
On his own.
This space is no serious commitment. You legit took all that space back dropped. They got a re clear octa now back lines
Meanwhile, they're pushing short
They can all these showers players. I feel like there's so many gaps on the map for energy
They're these defaults and my VR are just like perfectly taking it
Like they've been taking so much space
Market spotted out with the bullets
I might have to peel yourself back a little bit
Like they have to be worried about their flanks 40 seconds
Crazy play
Yeah, timing, right?
Was it an 8 or no?
I'm not gonna- Oh, it's just smoke. What a great smoke.
Good Molly.
Oh my god, life level planner. Life level planner. He has 2 HP.
Great fucking setup.
He's a 40 No ammo.
YOLO! Oh, he did it off the shot!
He's playing to win!
Good fall, good fall.
Great fall back by Mata.
Get in force for issue.
Good Molly as well.
Time.
YES Ethan!
HE'S IN!
6-2-6!
6-0!
Finest margins once again is Ethan. So there he is the call from scuba to draw players back into a with the way
They fake beautiful though, and I think it might be our are going to be disappointed that this is an even half
Unfortunately, Russia was he had there as well self-flash in fact onto second, but did this was M.I.B.R.
Is round not round to it half to dominate. Yeah
Something like that, but energy
Yeah, I think that they were
It's an impressive comeback
Yeah, we're gonna touch on both teams here because it's six six. It's so interesting to see how different they are listening to the side of MIBR
It's like kind of like being in a business call, but it works for them if everybody wasn't overlapping each other
They're kind of hitting business call sure they can talk and then let go but when the plays happen, they're all still talking together
It's fluid off spots the second or heading into showers three to one let's swing and they've been on point for these plays a lot of good stuff
They're fraud is very happy with the gameplay coming that first time out and they know they're pushing the right buttons against energy
But it seems like the shots didn't hit there at the end of the map
So we'll have to see for energy side
It's much more like a discord call hanging out five and with friends
But at times Ethan even said hey guys we need more comps. We need to get more on the mic
I don't even want to hear my gun right now
So they got back in now. It's a six six Kiko's even jumping into around seven saying hey wait
I got a call here team agreed they went in they smashed the site
So it's really cool to see those two variations between the squads bonkers there with the hype roars going on in the time
I was for the coaches so both teams are vibing at six six
It's anybody's game right now. This is a real video five is to be a five
We're on map one right now, which is MIBRs magic interesting glimpse. Yeah
Business call compared to the discord call.
I just want to know how you can be a coach of a pro player.
How do you become a coach of a team?
I mean, I don't think there's any, like, well-defined paths in becoming a coach of a team.
Usually, it's either you become an analyst when they have like an opening
your ex pro player or something along those lines yeah you start off coaching
like a tier two team analysts for a tier two team and then yeah I'm all coaches
be the next pro of some FPS game no there's some coaches that haven't been
pro I've said it before but I don't think you need to be a pro player to
understand the game at a high level. While I think it helps, I do think that, yeah even
if you're silver if you watch and like study the game, you could still have like a really
good understanding of what's going on. But yeah, I think being a pro obviously does offer
like an extra perspective. But here we go. Starting off, the showers.
Yeah
his life so much as you can plenty of pockets to play in the flash good damage
well three to three but now the plan isn't good for them no but now players
can get on top of this when it comes down to that you get your brilliance
sticking matter no oh my god he has to push them back to satchel in a way
matters of being claiming the kills holy shit
could have been more on salvage that situation it could have been anyone
6-7 there you have it
Wow couple freebies for both teams
Kevin Durand burner Twitter account got leaked he was talking shit about his teammates
I know he I know people knew he had a burner, but I didn't know people knew
Who his burner account was
There's no way
They're expecting potentially an over rotation the seconds finished off time to leave I think yeah, definitely
Why are they forcing this here? Yes, didn't they see four guys here in the first engagement?
I
Think
One of the greats, but he's criminally insecure
Is he insecure about how good he is or what's he insecure about they are split up here Tex
No, obviously not that no it was something else
It'd have to be a laser with the classic. Yeah
Way harder than we could be
Normally that'd be quite damaging right you have to play surviving against the eco, but
Offer might be harder to keep the major buys together nice jumps in here whenever he loses
Seven of them the seven of them in front of me
It's not what it's called in that game.
He joined the Superteam to win a ship so he gets hate because he couldn't do it on his
own.
So what if he won?
But I guess he's insecure because it's like people say like he wouldn't have had it without
that tune.
They've been doing this a lot, MIBR.
And then Verna picks up a class, a sheriff if they fail.
Just to run out of by matter.
He's on that.
Eddie, I stop.
He's back up as well.
By his side, Brawk.
Blind him, wait.
This is a bonus for MIBR.
IBR. They've been messing a lot, damn. Punished in the word.
7 million times doesn't care if you will pay the person.
TP.
It was gonna be clear and I'm left to deny that plan a snake bite came a little bit too late there
Before still don't anyone's game
I'm gonna take this one. Oh, I didn't have to jump baby. It's matter to one shining to be three
You know the smoke text of a Zeno
We do have mollies to play with but right now keeping the guns out
Utilizing it using it Tex
How is it gonna get out of this spot scuba?
Reclaims that space. Well done
Hold on
One round is the difference between these two teams for our opening map
It's such a random thing to bring up, but it's so interesting how environment you can
I know it's so random and like it's been like this for the since the beginning
But the fact that you can see the other teams you can
Whereas in CSU
That's a requirement with way to MIBL playing right now even though it wasn't that hard but
I have to figure it out yeah but I think it just makes it interesting right
like you know they know could get that showstopper online half way through
the round potentially but they're going for a big default here into scuba is
the only one home defending Bay this is a running thing to bring up yeah
move cursor are you trolling me or no okay this is the full buys here I mean
it's fingers turn but yeah I have for you to start maybe they've read into the
fact that maybe I don't really do fast to be rounds yeah so they feel like they
have a timing where they can just leave scuba home alone so with the KD Twitter
just get a release recently is that why you guys are talking about it
I
Had the right read that the right stack
And he's putting an all-star game right now.
I saw, uh, well, I don't know what it's called, but someone did a window and like, it was
like the play of the all-star game, but it was getting memed on a lot because it was
like dog shit.
What was the deal?
What was that about?
I find if you let them start generating the ultimates they can just start snowballing eat them pie. Oh, yeah, he's close
Bunker, he's too close to save this weapon into the next the dunk contest. It was just buns players are going hunting though for my
This has been a joke why is it a joke though because like no one is trying
Or is it cuz no one's got those I mean people got the skill right?
What an eye, what an insane eye
No one tries, no one wants to do it
Oh, I see they're just half-assing it because they have to do it
I see
I'm wondering why they could be kicked up.
Someone brought through a holding down this side.
Contact short.
Raise rocket.
It's on his head.
Oh.
He got healed though.
It's all good.
Burno's got fatal to here.
And looks like Scuba's staying just against his EP.
the showstopper there because it would have been very hard to spam and deny it.
That's true. That's true. I like that joke idea.
See if you can try to hit it.
Oh my goodness. Oh, that's astonishing stuff.
He's hit some major multi-kill rounds in this map so far,
but that one is something else.
Ridiculous stuff.
Stamps out anything that could go deadly and dangerous.
is the playmaker here scuba 1v4 with a bucky the bucky
oh that's a kill clay players are low
it's like wait a minute don't want that gun still
angles accounted for mozino eager to plug in the gaps here
this is getting a little bit messy yo mozino is running at him
they want to try and deal with scuba cleanly but they know where he is
to go to pen to in and then I just try and look at his point there it is.
Got him so old dude.
Kill for us bruh.
He's in time now.
Three round difference now in RBR.
I didn't catch it but I think he did.
MBR are not playing like an exhausted team here.
Knocked down into the lower bracket.
They're the team actually playing the look of it.
Yeah.
More energy in figure in this game.
What is this?
He's a sick 2k transfer like that in market earlier.
Dude, the jumpy jumpy, man.
I saw smiles
It did feel a little bit like a vernal not soft-flying nice and late to their game in some of the earlier best of vibes
My VR vibes are way better than yesterday. Why do you think that is serious? Probably because they're winning
Definitely take it start off the game up five to you know, the six six half. They want pistol
Yeah, vibes are up they're shooting back
Playing well eco for energy
It would be
Being enormous shame if he ended up missing out on it. I'm sure every day. They're asking, you know, did you go second and ask us
to delay that start off hot and now vernos
Later and then you go over taking them hold on are we really gonna miss out on this? Yeah the last chance
It's like we always said at the beginning expectations for both of these teams
You've got reigning war champions on one side and a super team that's expected to lift trophies on the other but
The classic outlaw contact on Long B?
4 here, yeah.
Flash?
Wow, what an entry to his shorty.
Here yeah
I don't need to be in no more timeouts
Who's remote was that by the way?
That was you know
That was miss you know
Yeah
Yeah, they want to play for the rush I guess
I might be our plan a slow game though. This is the round of the match. They lose this wrap it up
for be long or have no map control but I'm so wrong because they have shower
like a mother like a mother mother is so deeply pushed here all the way out of
showers the ops might under shaking hands here in top short and shake
on top guess it's our second position is acknowledged
probably is now for that mid-round info was saved by Ethan we're hitting that
minute mark and it did potentially spot more than a few players to mention if
there were guys for here though this might be a bit of a speed up and might be
out looking for that information looking for signs that they can't hard
commit in yeah Molly's on both roads wings it's just scuba spotted to bait
and switch and I'm just waiting for the storm time to capitalize kills
following four of all the way as far as it won't be to make it won't be one
this guy is like TV heard this positioning 20 seconds remaining
Model hit a refract on a
Wonder if that's like
Why the crowd just like gasped up audible gasping waiting it out
Cuz the room the room but came out the crowd audibly gasped right into his sight lines
But the angle is held and you wear this
He's about 1v3 he is back if he keeps this level of play up throughout this match. It's gonna be a whole different MIME are
Not only as a sponsor up towards the top of the store for 21 and 8
But I'll tell you another thing his clutch is missing completely across kickoff. Yeah, and yet the way that he plays this
What the fuck?
One shows you why he likes to play cautiously
With the late round because usually
Yeah
Wow
I'm not being able to get it going in the clutch
There's so many things that they might be our turn around just turn it up a little degree
Could give energy a lot of trouble and what the fuck see it there. Oh
Early catch early on and around like this
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
the game. It's the absolute
mentality that they're in.
Impressions of a corner despite
the player advantage. They need
every single round to count.
What the heck? Load of space
inside of his own here to
Verna. Of course, that means
that Verna is going to be
sat on one HP. The K down.
Don't even need to be accurate
with the judge. Oh my god.
Oh my god. I'm going to go
through. I'm going to try
out of it though and it's a bit of a sound but he looks like he's still staying here
reasserts himself getting control and looks like it should be a fight
over his way and I pointed out he's legit crazy
entirely leaning over 3v5 here Raspas has an Ops
control is there's oh play it down side smoke you're out at sabos as well gonna be
pushing them out and away you've been traded to before just gonna one for one
over the walls and that's the 15 seconds they do have time but they're
gonna say it's cool right now but my beer looks like to be to give it up I
think it's honestly not even that bad of a ramp at my beer they've managed to
pull out two massive ultimate yeah I'm starting to get enormous for NRG and if
they want to win five in a row they can't always be relying on using you know
Armageddon and orbital striking the rounds to stop hits from coming through
and the Viper's pit is right right?
Yeah, actually, it's really easy, we've got three Alts in a row, forgot about the pit.
That's, that's essentially the entire arsenal of big defensive officers
who spend it in that one round. Of course, it's an important round, but it's the first
of many important rounds that NRG are going to have to win if they want to get to overtime.
How's the money freaking good
Oh do not jiggle do not jiggle scuba
This is for showers vernos looking short
Find an early time. It would be good as a pressure there with a utility panel in the face brokers forced to really respect that
He's contacting with an odd. This is so scary man. He's gonna drone soon. He's alone. Brock is gonna drone soon. Surely no, it's odd found
slightest of margins
Oh, how's that fast break that it might not go his way at all? Yes, and I G
Plenty of you to work. Oh my god
Almost almost
down in a spot like that right now is activated just to extract
Ethan is here position by an RG and switch off into the corner to
seek is going to be offloaded into that mid round just for that
extra information. Good timing. Tech's only breaking the one
yeah leading away and this is might have taken a flank off of it. He's
going to TP out. See if the timing gets taken.
Whoa, he's TPed into the burst smoke. This is cool. Just like an RG, I've
got this one in there. Complete control unless this is
kind of cool. Hey, Zach, how's it going in there?
Oh my God, he's getting spammed.
Tax, some TPs.
Kiko?
Kiko.
Big bye, Ethan.
1v3, right now, 20 seconds.
Haspike, Ethan reads it.
Ethan's reading it.
Scoob with TP.
Oh, he's saving up.
Hold on!
to try to save the gun in this spot. I think he was scarier, Skau was swinging if he broke the other ones. Yeah, Vernon was definitely scared.
I mean, you can see it by him throwing the Molly, right?
It's a common protocol to use ult to prevent a map loss.
I think common protocol is to use your ult to guarantee round wins.
MIVR first pause, bulb 9
Yeah, they have rocket input
Mada has his ult
rip a fast B hit does NRG play 4A this round they've been doing it a lot
they keep leaving B fairly weak at the start of the rounds if you're thinking about where is us
plus gonna take the showstopper things very strong chance it takes it over towards short
so player up in heaven looking for the spam at the top box maybe you're playing on top of triple
monitoring a spot even towards backside A when NRG go play 4B this round then retake A
there's plenty of options here to try to not even play retake because you guys pit
I didn't have to fight
But if you let them get into the site and set up a post mark with pit it is probably actually short he called it
It's gonna be a fast slam on a jeep
Clore their way back in one round at the time. There we go
Here's Kiko in heaven. So Kiko's gonna have that angle to try to punish as buses
He goes for the ult off the box at short
No, wait, they scan the fuck out of him.
How do they plant, they have, yeah, Molly's for plant, right?
They got a plant this shit.
Oh shit!
I win!
Trying to bait out the util for the plants.
Mod needs to live but here's the nade.
The scuba.
They dropped the pits.
Trying to bait out util again.
Now it's a rocket, but can we get anyone from here?
Oh, he's rocketing the plant!
Well played.
Now Viper is activated, Scuba is Astras aware? Oh my god, why is he aware?
Oh! Zecko might TP into him.
He's TP'd into him!
Astras is here, though. I don't think Scuba will anticipate that.
He's playing slow though. That's a huge killer, Herno's nuts.
Uh-oh. Oh god it's falling apart. It might be Raph.
It's Raph's. Raph's playing a fucking senior.
Woo!
Time. N.C.G.G.
Yo, Herno. Oh my god.
Herno's got him broken. It's been so fast.
GZ map 1.
I'm off your list.
Fines.
Manga.
They look prime, brother.
What?
You're not safe, my dad.
You are not safe.
Now we have 45 minutes for the next map.
That's not true.
That's pretty fake.
Like 10 minutes.
I'm off your list.
They're not just gonna go 10 minutes
They're looking good. Yeah, they certainly are the game play
Reminiscent the time's really just out all in realizing we want nothing to lose at this point
Sending it against his energy squad the reigning champions is so much on the line for both of these teams
But they might be our other ones who take that first blood in the form of fine
We'll see what the rest of the series go as Carode is up next and that is a hell of a task to get over as well
Yeah, Karota is really good for NRG, but MIBR have some momentum, so let's see.
Let's freaking see.
Oh, fuck, Asgoss is smiling.
Oh, fuck.
Damn.
Oh, fuck.
Damn.
you
I'm still seeing that message better and that's some top tier rig bit.
If you know ball, you know Messi's the better player.
But Ronaldo's flashy, Ronaldo's hot, Ronaldo's hype.
So, and I like that.
But Messi seems like a proper family man,
maybe not saying that Ronaldo isn't.
Messi just seems like,
Messi seems like,
from the clips I've seen of him,
he walks around and doesn't know he's Messi.
He walks around like, I don't know, like just, you know, which is awesome, but I don't think
he knows he's messing with me, which is great, like he seems like just no ego, and I could
be wrong about that, that's my impression, humble, yeah, seems humble, Ronaldo I wouldn't
say he's humble, Ronaldo knows he's Ronaldo, Ronaldo swings his dick around,
punch back and I think he gives us another opportunity to look at Aspas again as the desk we're talking about but this time in a solo
Juelist capacity because we got to see him as part of the double Juelist shine on bind
That has been working better just generally better my PR
Even when as pass wasn't playing that well the does map 100% but they lost to G2
But I guess it's only calculating the regular season stats
massive difference and they've only beaten envy on solo duelist maps which is two of the wins yeah
no double duelist yeah they play uh they got back in on smokes for this map right
mb r i've struggled here but i do think part of it is that it was putting a lot of pressure on
that person he wasn't in his best form for whatever reason i gotta pee you fuck if he plays like
he did today best on binds when he brings that to corrode it'll be a good sign even if
mb r aren't able to deliver nrg their second ever loss on this map
to NRG
They'll be looking to shove back this MIBR team that are coming into this game with perhaps more energy than they anticipated
Yeah, they had to play multiple back-to-back best of fives, but they lost very very quickly to G2
They did they only got I think it was 17 rounds. Yeah, so that was
Ascension shorter than some B03s potentially in a main fight early on
Seeing the teams here. We'll see how fast they choose to take it
Contacting for now, but this is about to get explosive off the contact of Madat.
Players waiting in the wings here, as fast as giving that first casualty, even over the shoulder.
Madat with a fall, that is a one-two punch.
And that is as rapid as anything.
Oh wow.
And this map might be a little different to Pied.
Hmm, this is the bottom of NRG's pool, right up to the top of NRG's map.
They're missed the other round.
So, you will expect them to be coming out with more trap plays and seven strikes.
the round. You think I got three? No replay? They replayed as well already? Holy fuck I
I missed the replay and the round that is impressive
Good information turn the game up. Yeah, that's what these comps are all about
You know you get the information that they're over towards a and you're in a position where you can push out the other side of the map
And take some space, you know, it's a very fundamental way
Uh oh. Ethan.
Big damage.
Uh oh.
Who's aware?
No, he's not. He looked away for a second.
Imagine he spanned there randomly.
Last pass, 1v3, 50 HP.
and allows him in.
But he needs to find a few more where that came from.
So without sheen, matter.
Oh.
He'll go down, but Astras is opening himself up wide.
There are Hinder, Kenex, and Scuba.
Handled.
What's the damage for NRGBR?
Look at that client there.
Takes his time with that shot as well.
Yeah.
NRG did invest fully into that round.
Okay.
Nobody was keeping, you know, just a pistol in their pocket,
something like that.
Any explanation on why NRG's vibe is already better than this match
in the last one?
We'll make the bonus round slightly worse for NRG.
I mean, I gave the same answer last time
Winning makes people happy believe it or not
But the true winners are the guys that can be happy without winning
You can't rely on winning to be happy
That is how you make the association.
Why not?
The composition helps us solve Ethan's calling, I think, running a cave on a sober...
Wow! It's perfect timing!
Unfortunately, timing for Grog.
Yeah, but a nice idea from him, I'd be out.
Yeah.
Growing immediately...
Converscated to no real mid-round info, but they know that there's some presence towards mid, they're making a lot of noise now.
I know you aren't.
I'm not too scared of things, I'm not scared of what Ethan's holding, not bucky.
It's a bonus for NRG here.
I'm going to go back into B and us both decide to pass towards Elba.
For the moment, play that one 3-1.
Ooh, we got a buy?
Please suppress!
Uh-oh, they're in the smoke.
They're out the smoke.
They walked through!
We're going to be punished for it.
That sucks.
A main control post.
A big killer here on main.
It's an important fight.
It takes one hour to attack.
I'm out of.
In control of it.
Thanks to my micro-adjustments and...
Got back in as well.
Omen's here.
It's a safety.
No paranoia
It's pretty nice they can hold on to this
Yeah, it's my gizlet
why swing
Big hinder
Machine mother gets damn surprise at this point guys dogs out to
How does he compare to all the reason he must have the most out of any region?
He must have the most aces in VCC.
Oh, they got 14?
Never mind.
is astonishing
Yeah farmers league, okay
Yeah, sure yeah, I can't the aces in half for you and me it's like seven
it's free over there it's a it's a disaster for him i'd be out
broke with that odin
he's doing filthy stuff 200 fees custom crafted lineups to try and kill
asuna yeah that one was disgusting you know all
considered and why not early enough he has had it early enough but it is a
full anti i think it's good to use it
They can't capitalize on it, so it's just a little bit of stall.
Oh, they're getting jumps.
They got it back up.
Well, Mata's staying in.
Alright, they're staying in?
Okay, we're staying in.
Kiko Ren back in.
Oh, God.
There's this disconnect.
Kiko wants to get out.
Mata wants to stay in.
And then Kiko Ren back in, but...
Oh, God.
Kiko wants to get out, Mono wants to stay in, and then Kiko ran back in, but oh god, oh god, there's a flight from Skrubo, but Vep is ready for it.
That's tech.
Like, that is not good.
And they're getting shot at.
What a turnaround instantly from M.I.B.R. I look like a disaster situation for the most three in a row matter with his altar for ready
I'm not a big fan of the investment of the all in that situation, but
Yeah
Because they couldn't capitalize on it and then playing in
Also didn't feel ideal
Light armor on everybody, but M.I.B. I'm not looking to punish it. That's past with a rifle in mid-fight
Fast pass goes through his classic
Only can't go back you can't go back
Fucker you suck here. It's gone. Oh that bagger was huge
They know about was you know
Not quite
to be emanating. Good player, Ethan.
Ethan is way too aware that he's clean from Ethan, even as he's dropping down from a bot.
Bruno's one off ult. Seconds. Got no paranoia. Oh, started. Bruno's speaking.
Aw. 1v2. 1v2 Scuba's low.
I don't know if it's a smoke.
No kill confirmed.
Leave second and it won't be two.
What a Molly.
Oh, he got him.
The first kill anyway.
Shot by rebounding Brock.
Oh!
This is bad news bears.
This is very bad news bears.
Beautifully played from second.
Very bad news bears for NRG.
What a clutch.
Asked us deliberately getting stuck. I think so that if you punish him
There's a fast react on the other side into a look at this
They use a way to play that in me
What a way to play that situation and they take the whole of the egg site as compensation
and getting crispy
Mama's like in smells
Not the economy
Bonus
It's rare that you see that.
Contact without law.
Making chunks out of each other and I'll be out all gone.
Walk about the Aspass.
Walk into another guy.
You're going to be pushed up on one.
Oh my god.
I thought the open was across the map here.
Never mind.
And I had it with a flash.
And Mazino is killing it out.
And it's feeling it out.
Aspass, meanwhile, being pressured.
Pushed into a corner towards the top section as mid,
but seems already got it.
The tech should be able to secure this kill.
There it is.
Aspass will be the one to find it.
Yeah, fair enough.
Mazzino has an agenda here, he's here to talk to them.
Did I play with Zygon? Yeah, we played on CSN back in 21.
He's my initiator, I was with Duelist. Good fucking times.
God, I can't even get my words out.
He got hit by the knife and I'm old enough to be second dad
Okay, send it again here. He just decides to walk on through knife is used in a different direction even
laid it down all day main fast make control
Tag on the burner big space. Yeah, I'm actually quite a bit the service
A lot of old...
It's a fake towards A.
Zack in on Mada. He had an AWP.
Mada with the AWP shot, damn.
Oh, he's going through.
Oh my god.
Ah!
Sheebar!
You have to see heroics now coming up from energy if they want to stand a chance
Will the clearance be there in time scuba?
Holding his nerves
What
By the way, he still killed him jumping
How did he survive that?
For the wall?
Time pressure is definitely there. This is such a hard retake
Anything to try and push these players out and away. Oh my god, Brock has that Odin down.
There's gonna be enough right now
Oh my god for in a row for MIBR. Should they pause?
They might have to pause bro
I'm home
Well, the nice thing is everyone's technically home
Now like home is not bar
The nice part about Valorant is that you don't have to fly fucking 10 hours to another country
to get eliminated 0-2 and then fucking sulking your misery for four days before you can fly
back home.
You just have a 30 minute Uber home for show.
to kill. What is this? This is a real reaction. What a great response from M I B R. Four rounds
in a row here. There's the pause. It's an unreal turnaround, honestly, from one game
to the next. But living in LA, you got to throw a team like NRG. You got to spend five
hours just getting groceries. You mean because of traffic? Time out. They need to
change the course of this one. LA traffic is brutal. His hesitancy from M I B R. As
As soon as this pressure being created in one area, the rest of the team e-givers immediately
I still haven't gotten to go
But I love Costco
But I wonder how it is in LA
The Costco in LA
Like it must be
You probably gotta get in there like on opening
You come there
After 10am it's probably you
I love Costco too
Costco is the best fucking place in the world
and then just getting stuck but now they've built out protocols to deal with it
and if Aspa does get threatened then we have the aggression
we can use this guy to distract you
all cascos are insanely packed 24-7
I don't think so at all
I mean they are definitely busy
but I think depending on the city
by state you can find the time
where it's not, you know
they haven't tested scooby
it's not that bad
but I do agree that
yeah generally Costco is busy
Five man be full diet off the pause
They are in energy are flooding flash over the wall
That should have been way better for energy. Oh my god, Mata
I thought he was gonna talk
escape it they know their contains yeah he's seen all three of the players from
MBR 2v3 on this one choice to go for what's missy no it's a cracking shot
yo what's happening to energy somebody it's off a pause completely obliterated
the two defenders there on the site dangerous they might have been caught
what is going on does anyone know the form the MBR in that you want to
corner they will definitely punch away through it oh my god they do look
like they're in different form today. You're angry almost. I would agree, yeah. I'm a non-smushed
guy from 19, right around the corner. Definitely some level of that in the final 18 or 19.
Yeah. They were down and out. He was putting his body on the line. He was running them down.
He was trying to pull it in. Someone puts sleeping pills in their coffee. Yeah, I don't know.
I'm all skin in the game the most in terms of wanting to make it to Santiago. Yeah, he was
saying sometimes when he thinks about... Yeah, I know and I'll tell you for $50.
Fucking everybody in his hometown, it's like a little tear comes to his eye. Yeah. You do
You don't want to let that opportunity disappear from you it feels like that attitude that he has that just
Aspass has three times as kills from all of yesterday's maps
So what kind of stats are you guys pulling up? Yeah, what are these stats you guys are pulling up dog?
expectations sure, but also
individually
If I suppose makes it to Santiago he's got a chance to compete for a second trophy
Look at this fucking guy that's at any explanation why NRG are sad now
I don't know probably fucking because it's gonna rain tomorrow in LA
The weather's affecting them
Okay, full buy again five in a row MIBR
Okay
Could have been so much more but I was so great
With a shot
Also enormous they're still going in by the way contact
Like speed will get him out of dodge
Well handled this round it's much better
The only issue is that MIBRs still have unlimited money and they have a couple of
Ult's. How many rounds does NRG need?
Are they attackers?
Over towards me. There's gonna be energy won't lose this map. I mean, that's what we thought
I think it's time to abandon this game plan. Yeah fraud's gonna take the tactical time out here, but the mid pressure was working
I'd be very tempted to go back to that
They've already got five, which is very very good on the attack side of the road
System up particularly well
So what to think about if you I might be our first pause
It's quite a lot but they're leading by the one round it's NRG that feel like they have taken control back again
These deep flanks from Maddo or scuba whoever it might be
What are you saying it?
Penning in and maybe I'll force them to find their way through it and out
It's not consistent though
Well, it might be consistent, maybe I'll keep throwing V-hits out again and again
Yeah, but that would be that would be madness. Yeah, I'm inmate not consistent there might be another
I'm sure lay out of it every time. Yeah, definitely. I think it's
If there's an adjustment here
Did I could do I didn't know I woke up and I rolled into my stream even live for six and a half
It's only 330
They're going straight back to it anticipating the MIB. I'm gonna go for the midtake
Scoop is gonna pit as well different defensive bike
I
Dagger's on both sides
You run away I think we're gonna hurt him look who's died
Stack here
Laying in wait conversion passes primed waiting for the right signal to go the drone
Got one but I don't think I'm capitalized
This is causing so many issues right now
Got is one
Just the one for one text is still taxing old man. I think you know old main right chat default rather
Definitely try to old default here
There's really no opportunity to leave
Wait a minute
Oh wait a fucking minutes that's orb dropping
Renault's gonna shock and Molly what
Wacking why does kind of alone get kills here now
Oh my god, 4k techs.
It's very similar to a couple of rounds ago where MIBR-
Oh, it's nice to have 4k, right? Yeah.
Cracking the defensive setups of NRG.
Everybody knew that MIBR was scattered in this area.
The follow-up from the-
What a sick run.
It just worked, I'm so hard.
Well, the timing was a bit awkward.
It was a smoke in FH for the elements, Mark.
They couldn't tell if it was an FH.
Oh my god.
There was even kind of a scary amount of life.
It was weighted all the way out.
It takes you to the 4k. It doubles his kills and takes MDR up to 6.
This is an astonishingly good attack side into NRG on the road.
Although you do a lot of pressure, this flash is exchanged on either side.
The hand shake in Aspas is raring to go.
Still got an operator.
He needs to be broken. They'll just do it himself actually gets a tag on a second and that's past
Now double-dash a matter as long as we're joining the pack
We're not as old as well they insert as fast with a knob this point for them. They want to go
How do they re-clear him here low positions taking points together?
That's bus is so alone out here. Yeah, but he hasn't off though. They're just leaving him
Tempt to see what he can find himself. The problem is they're rotating to be
So the Aspass just might be out of the rounds if they leave
Yeah, that's nice big 20
They're not gonna go back
That's a mad call.
Turn it out.
That's a no command emanating.
Come on the awesome.
Come on the Oscar.
It's working.
It's a mad call and it's working.
Do they even have tide?
Oh, no.
Corone is a big call, but they got a move.
It's a mad call.
It's working.
It's a mad call.
And it's working.
Definitely enough time in mid-east yüzden
navigated the first stage of the game.
Can you get past this?
�co, put the stuff out.
Yo, NRG are actually losing.
On the case
Determined for the ace
Determined to book his teams ticket to Santiago himself scuba going for this
scuba
Walking and waiting right into his grasp and he all just has to maintain that composure
Waiting now scuba knows it
He can be in the pressures there to play as a surrounding in MBR
Come on there Ace, come on there Ace
Again, no way to ever repeat the last round to be honest
Oh my god, that Viper ulti made everyone rotate, I can't believe that works.
The lurking attack all put waylay in elbow and then going back to him with 20 seconds left
Yeah, so risky
I'm still gonna be late.
What a fight.
They're pushing spawn?
What?
What the fuck?
Oh my God.
That was G2 at Red Bull, right?
attack side around scuba's already
keep it up scuba's 6-7 rolling
get him here
listen he's just gonna be
they know it
everyone knows it
yeah
this is duff
can he save on the last round
in a match
he's actually saving
wait i've never seen this
irrespective though
he's playing for stats
he is simply wasting time here
okay
what the fuck
he actually saved 6-7
4 half on the attack side
with great individual
nice yaced
performances
yaced
Good calling. The plays have navigated even when NRG had the stacks in the right places.
A proper question, Marge.
Russia is massively on the defending world champion.
you
I
Be five posts
I think energy needed to take space
Ethan has bomb though
You have bomb
It's not alone here as he was waiting into the sideline. This is a spike in the hands of Ethan by the way
They want to fight to try and flip this one all the way around. They won't kill us but they feel comfortable without a spike
It's dropped down in the middle. There's a disconnect. This is ridiculous. We're gonna see if you can find a way through
Shots like daddy might have just done it seems like the plan was to take spawn but oh my god
The timing is terminal. This is a lie
Walls have curtain your face line and I might be are a sharp shooters themselves
Oh my god
They are
It's a collapse, a crumble
There's a disconnect here
Because Kiko TP'd too early
And even is trying to take spawn alone
I'm not happy and of course because this is the map where you're supposed to be significantly
better than your opponent.
Expectations have been turned on their heads here.
Run it again.
Different wall, different approach, but the same general idea.
I'm surprised.
Five surprised.
We're scared.
Madder's dashed into that smoke now has the bucky in hand so he's...
They're going to take spawn.
The plan will go down
4v4 school was low
I don't fancy their chances
Wow, I haven't seen an rg get
Oh, I guess g2
Fully surviving, fully healthy here, MIBR leading it forwards, now that's the 10th round
Aside from G2, I haven't seen RG, yeah, works like this
A 6 round lead, and NRG are gonna need an instant response
The bonus is decent, ask us with an outlaw, you're forced to buy Fulama
Can't do any of that, scrimp and save
Sohan and Chat said, Soham and I must have been really important to NRG winning
yeah you and some definitely made things harder you and some not being
there made things harder for sure
okay here's a full buy bonus for MIBR it's the most one
I
Was gonna walk in the smoke. I'll lose my fucking mind
Wow, this is a good spot he's not even left
Straight between the eyes
They have full make control
My br if you thought anyone was pushed up surely you just threw a random smoke, but
Look at Texas spot off KO
Caution to the window. So I'd describe them of the hour play in this one
They laid down and this is them trying to
Participate in this angle still Masino's there
Into the conversation
Announcing himself over doors the B site. That's a spike drop down
Potentially the constant placement could be good for this but as far as
What about today over it's not over as he changed his routine about it over
Eatin something different from breakfast. It's just ridiculous. What a turnaround
It really is it, but it's also back to normal
It's a summary right like it's over usual. I mean unusual is look
I don't think the series is over because NRG
to tear apart energy. This could still wake up and bring it back. We know how good they
are, but I fear they may never wake up.
What does it mean for 100 Thieves? What does it mean for Sentinels?
Think about what they were gonna do. I might be our the pressure has been on them. Yeah, the target's been on their back
Low key. I'm down for energy to get mopped here. Maybe we can take a couple of guys
I'm not lost a single map where they have tape on their opponent. Yeah, when they knew what was coming up
Awesome drama. I don't know energy were winning. Oh some fucking bone script. Yeah today
They've been able to see the mind. They've been able to see the crew might be our have changed up the way in which they're playing the details
And stay the last pause for energy here
This is a huge turn around. It's such a short time
And it bears reiterating to energy up 10 and one all time on corrode
This would only be the second loss ever on this man Max Cuba
It almost lose it did go to OT it was a 16-14 victory for energy over a Mabillara champs
Different roster but still with you know, Bernal as class. Yeah, he's kind of force
core players that they maintained in the offseason
I think you might be right,
Spurples. Did an energy have a bad kickoff last year? They won champs. Yeah.
The pressure is on. They've been higher here. One more spot to Santiago.
Look for grabs. They might be out looking to see if they can really dish this one out.
Straight in there. 8 HP.
It's a forced buy from them as well. All in investment from NRG on the backside of this time out.
I'm out and most of the guns are shockingly poor but matter still makes it work with a
nose got shocks
AIDS rebounding deal on the satirators as fast as you tell him
Wow what a flood
No element where they can sit safe and pretty and so inside that post plan even just denied
a plan that is a spike out in the open
4v4 Kiko needs to activate over towards elbow I think but his KD is solo I don't know
if he has a confidence of the rest of the squad.
What was the swing?
A hinder swing?
It doesn't look good.
It's not going to cut it.
It's going to be 2-0.
What the fuck happens?
I'm going to be leading potentially 2-0 early on
in this best game, lower bruggy grand finals.
What happens to NRG?
Yeah, shock.
I wouldn't believe it.
We saw RNG over at Pacific.
They tumbled from the upper back here
Did anyone predict this happening?
Pretty similar to MIBR
They crashed out in the lowest
Here MIBR with this veteran core
Huge amounts of experience
They should have been up to the task
And it looks like they are capable of it
Massive, massive credit
Resilience is on display
Inside the smoke
Wait a minute.
I was about to let me die.
I had to bro.
I was about to let it happen.
Wow.
3v3, there's a middle flank.
Leerantana bullets brought it to a 3d3. This is pure survival for an hour. He's gonna run a man
They're going be but they might have found a gap here where they can retreat back through mid
And text will be flanked in a non-existent push
But when will they realize my beer I rotates will energy gets to be before my beer realize
No, I think they're fine
post plan going they need eight rounds in a row such a struggle we gotta start with one egg man
it starts here dude this round felt very fast the problem is their post plans are looking hot
and might be ours reach it be every single round most of the game to be honest i think it's been
working for a maybe the higher levels of aggression and not worrying too much about making mistakes
is really working for them big fight on flank the flank potentially guns need to be out
I shot.
Yes, so volt one player down two more to go
Playing back he's got his ult on line. He's got a lot of ways to win this. They don't have that or no
But he uses the smoke there doesn't have it to cover the spike
You try to happen spike inside
where it's even planted for abuse that's and holding it save it so I'm a king even better
just alive in this map that damage is good that's like I got to what happens to be able
to work with energy she's laughing yeah I got to what happened over here like you said
the eight rounds in a row now seven the streaks have all been going the way of energy definitely
thought when we started this man that this was going to be a bounce back in a response
from the defending world champions and they've been
I'm sorry it's fucked
it's fucked up
you're going to be telling themselves here they've got plenty of ults to see if they can
at least pay the park was a success that's a big reveal big howl howl was an alt being
laid down on top of me still wins out fight out oh my god m i dr is no more two players
and straight bro i will say bruno's a one-man army i'm serious dude it's about that should
be home territory wow did you notice that i don't give a fuck
Oh my god the jiggle the paranoia
Even says fuck this we boss
Platt
Just slowing it down enough time for the MIBA to get players in position just k olds double flank is late
They can push spawn but those guys are holding by dinner time. Oh, no. I can't be an olds anymore
Using his as a response there. I don't think you can any oh
Like in the timer and the gap. There's like a second where you could have popped them. Maybe right is there pixel gap for Brock
Gee, they need heroic saying individuals for the TP to survive in a map like this
That was smooth.
Let's try.
I was just jumping that.
Easier to see from what you're saying.
doing that spot yeah it does feel like some of the fucking headshot him
access deep hidden reserves to push them over the edge but my god what a way to
begin that's like energy this team might be down golden nugget map everything
today has been beautiful from mr. VR you see reasons why they're considered a
super team to be honest why are they replaying that way for a lot of kickoff
it really has it's misleading right now man aiming for perfection but making
mistakes in the process, but this is a team that have thrown all that caution to the wind.
They are taking fights. They know they have that confidence, that grit and resilience
is on display, and now they are one map away from booking their tickets as the final
team to Santiago.
This is a crazy kill dude, oh my god, he's fighting the silver ult and he gets the kill.
Is he doing the boosty one pressure right now?
What's happening?
GG all that 4.
Oh did he say I might have intimidated you rough?
Someone in chat said there was a reverse sweep yesterday.
anything is possible. True. The only difference would be that in that reverse sweep, the first
two maps were kind of close. Now it doesn't mean it's not impossible. It's not impossible.
I think...
Split Abyss Haven.
Let's take a gender.
Splits...
NRG is 0 on 2.
0% one, right?
Abyss...
100% 2-0 and the last map was Haven 1-0.
Alright so basically based off of what we see here if NRG somehow end up winning on
Split then they're gonna reverse sweep.
I crunched the numbers.
It's pretty simple math.
If NRG wins Split they will reverse Split.
What?
But to be fair that was their first loss.
only 1-0 this is misleading their corrode is like fucking nuts but yeah
I
My VR sets
Split 50% 1-1 Haven 0-2 and then abyss 1-2
Yeah, because they're going to come up, get in the plane.
Split, they lost to Feria, 13-8, and beat NRG, 13-11.
From the previous series, right?
So, I mean, it's not much.
I mean, we really haven't had much time to relax and even
just reset, but just having a really good team talk
last night.
It's not necessarily done, but.
For several hours, stayed up real late together,
just making sure that we had good conversations.
And we know our game plan.
We know our our plays good. We just had to really fix the mental and really get hyped up and get into the game
Bring the energy so I think that that's something that we're showing today regardless of how we're shooting how we're playing
I think you can see the energy on stage. Absolutely. Do you feel like what level are you at?
Are you completely playing your game? Are you in their heads? Are you using counters right now?
How are you dismantling energy? We're focused totally on our game
But we know if we play our game the right way and we play aggressive when we get in their face
We're gonna disrupt them so it's not really focused on anti is or anything like that is focused on ourselves
But we know that what we can do can really disrupt them
Shit well, it's working dude. Welcome back everyone working very well. That's joined by a special gas
You may know him. It's cute. He has arts in
What do you think of what coach fraud was saying but also just what's been going on in this series, man
honestly, it's been a really great game against a
against NRG I know for a fact that like MIBR likes to play against
sorry against NRG because like they have some
Similar play style, so I don't think that's a big deal to MIBR to adapt
So I think it's gonna like
It couldn't be like a 3-0 for NRG, but like at the same time like I said, it's MIBR
You can't like underrate them. Yeah, you really can't you really cannot I mean you're hearing coach fraud
They're also just talk about
Disrupting them that's definitely the thing we saw in that last that's been a big thing for any team going up at NRG
It's disrupting what they kind of what their strengths are right because we see them play super well together
Especially in post plants especially in their energy can even make international off the winning champs and disrupting them is key
Not letting them they did have the one roster change
But yeah, it would be a massive left down while we are thinking about where this is gonna go for NRG
Let's talk about the good thing. I mean for both teams right MIBR coming from the upper bracket and then energy
Our champsman and really just break down and you're starting to build
This is getting real real fast cuz
Energy look like they were in the drill
But it was MIBR slowly, but surely adding those rounds. Yeah, this is an MIBR
He came in with some very clear adjustments in how they wanted to play that's the back of a zero three loss
But
Look at the predictions now band magners
We're inviting from day one, dude
Everyone predicting I might be our now
Yeah, I did say three one energy
You were leading and then he took the wheel for it.
Not only was I wrong, I was very wrong.
I was as wrong as I could be.
You're getting yourself in from other IGLs.
I think like, very much.
I was just a 50-50S to be honest with you.
Like, I learned a lot since it was calling an MIBR.
We have some, like, difference on the way of calling.
I think he, like, he knows how I control the pace
a little bit more compared to me last year.
So that's the thing that, like,
he's made around adaptions and, like, calls.
It's really great.
like he's like a complete ideal.
Yeah, and you're seeing that, right?
Like play out to round after round after round.
They're doing such a good job of shutting down NRG.
And we were even seeing that as well
in those later rounds, right?
Arten where like, you think, oh, NRG have this one,
but then it all just falls apart.
What do you think of that?
Because that certainly is like a shocker.
Yeah, I think like that's one of the biggest
MIDRs strength right now on attack.
They mid round is like,
they know how to like adapt
of what the round is needing you to do.
So like, Bernal, he's actually so smart
to adapt on what is happening in the round.
So, I mean...
And how do you feel that differs?
Or is different from NRG?
Because we know NRG like to set things up, right?
Yeah.
I think like NRG is lacking a little bit
on defense fundamentals.
I think playing against a team like MIBR,
you need to have your defense fundamentals good enough
to like actually re-clear and like adapt of the adaptation, you know?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, adapt and then adapt some more, that's right.
Yeah, and the other thing about MBR is we were lacking
My play is just later?
No, I don't think so.
In late rounds they were consistently getting caught off guard.
The coordination wasn't really there.
A lot of little mistakes.
This game has been so different.
They won rounds, even when Energy had a good macro idea going in.
Is there a team that won?
Chamson did well after?
I mean, it was Muzino doing the damage.
Um, I don't know, because I think most of it seems to make changes, right?
That's not all of them after winning champs.
BDG made changes, EG made changes, live made changes.
Did a Sunday change this?
They're getting under your skin with or the team can now do ahead of spankers fucking paste
I feel like we just need to be more in the same page. I was telling you
We have the plans we have the communication, but we're not committing fill it to the plans
We're on two different pages in a lot of the rounds, so we just need to be on the same page and we should be fine
Bunker good luck. Hope to see you
Folks it's pretty hard to see view the band-aid fix this in the middle of the series as a disconnect
Zero in this series against MIBR and MIBR have the opportunity to be able to shut them out 3-0
and it could happen here on Split. This is what it really felt like for me and I genuinely did not
think that we would be in this position. I at least thought it was a draw show. Yeah, we saw.
It's a tough one for NRG. For all the success they had last year, this is still a relatively
new team. Has it even been a year since this iteration got together and now they find
themselves in one of the toughest positions they've ever been in. This is where they put Fnatic in
Paris, winning those first two maps, tasking them with completing a full reverse sweep.
Even that Pete Fnatic team could not do it against NLV. I'm running a 60-second before the game starts.
And now, I'm down the barrel of a split that's been good for MIBR. This is a tough
position as a competitor. We're one map away. How does the approach change when you're down
two maps? How do you find it within yourself to fully reverse sweep? Yeah, I think like now
Something nice it doesn't matter strats. It doesn't matter comms. It's only only matters if you're you need to like have fun
And like actually start like overthinking because like on the B of five against a team like MIBR
Yeah, it's normal for you to like start how the children's trust you got to talk over
Thanks to map focus on the other team gets to pick side. Yeah in their strats
You're gonna be fine, but that is interesting. You mentioned that because Emily we know energy
pickpickpickpickpickpickpick
both through band one map in the B.O.F.I.
Yeah, for sure. But if any team in America can do it, it is NRG.
They are the ones that are able to kind of get back into the game, no matter what the stakes are.
They can take the first two maps and completely reset.
We've seen them do it before.
Victor, you're the rest of your day, brother.
as managed to continue the success into the next year.
Osbus knows this well.
Having played with Laod, that team,
then falling apart after winning the championship,
not being able to go back and hoist another trophy
after getting so close in Sao Paulo.
Now, that very same task for this young team
who did the impossible last year.
You know, one thing, Arten,
how does it feel to be in this position this time around?
Must feel good, huh?
It feels really great, man.
I feel like, like I said,
We probably went to be like an MIBR's position right now, like having not that much time to prepare, like not having much time to rest so...
Yeah, was that worry in the back of your mind?
Yeah, it's 100% because at the end of the day, the thing that you have to like beat the most right now is like mentally strong so...
Yeah, mental strength is everything.
Arty, my brother, thank you so much for your time on the desk.
An absolute B. WR.
Of course, Ruben on our boys are furious.
They make their way over to Santiago to represent America.
But the question on our mind is, can I be on a clean sweep?
I think it's fairly, clearly quick.
On the other side, right after this break.
We're getting back into it right here.
Yeah, I think it's good.
All right, chat.
Let's see if it's a 3L.
We're going to split.
NRG are currently 0-2.
MIBR is 1-1.
Foolish.
MIBR sweep incoming.
I just saw Foolish's message get posted.
I
Energy our reigning world champion
We're looking for birdies today. I mean we're looking nuts
They have to run it back to start a chance to get that last spot at Santiago up for grabs
On the other side of the stage. They have one hell of an opponent. Maybe I'll have woken up
Hungry and determined here
Try and end this one that runs smiling bonkers smiling throw every narrative out of the window, frankly
M.I.B.R. double duelist M.I.B.R.
Coming off and playing their third best of five in a row
Double controller on both
They've got the tape on M.I.B.R. but they haven't been able to convert it
Omen asked for this
As pass has been struggling and kickoff you wouldn't know it watching this game
You would not all of the things that have been
I'm a shitter
Pretty solid throughout kickoff and we've been following them along. I've been subverted here
And maybe that's just what you like the sky tail
Stacked with this level of experience who are determined to make it to Masters. Alright. Yeah, let's close and go all in
When did I play him right now?
Wouldn't have expected they would take a road in such a fashion that they did so like you said narratives and expectations are just
Off the table at this point anything could happen with energy hidden reserves are needed
qualities that let them lift the trophy last year they're gonna have to channel
that right here right now to run it back one map at a time last time these
two teams clash here we go play on split it was a very close game 1311 the
victory to M.I.B.R. Aspas did not perform particularly well in that map
I'm doing for anything for a lunar new year.
I don't think so.
Here we go.
I
Similar game plans to crowed really keep it simple
five players stack five men a site looking to see if they can take
Slowly that ramp control the drop the curtain just in case it was a player wait
I went to the open it's gonna be a site take now players dropping down matter
He's in at least insert of the loan
for me
Blinded up as well jump on the chance really get to be for
Aspash making a play. Big jiggle by Brock. Oh wow, the rocket. And he's getting flanks.
Ooh, Ethan. 1v4, Verna. Ow!
So much that could do in a spot like huge energy with a pistol round win
Hold on hold on what's happening here?
Oh, he's got his inner backwards
Throwes out the hinder
Looking to take the scrap and Ethan flushes out through the smoke. We're good. We're good. Two M.I.B.R.
Yeah, we'll man some shit. They actually said it was funny to listen to them actually energy when we were talking about
This matchup. I mean they won pistol. They said we're looking at real
We're looking to try to take the fight to the
early days to get in their face and we think we
can win. I haven't really seen that from
NRG across the first two maps. It's been all
MIBR the ones with their foot on the gas
pedal pressing further and deeper and fighting.
Yep. Maybe NRG
are starting to get back on to
that page. Hello, hello.
Is this a force by the way?
This is ridiculous. What is?
I need joking.
All right. I like it. I'm sure.
Four stickers. Damn.
Damn!
Kiko's also alone here.
Rockets early? They're going through after though.
Oh no, Kiko's waiting!
Oh my god, they're getting flanked as well. Oh my god, Mata has a Bucky. Oh my god.
I
It's
Reminds you a little of corrode where energy won the pistol it is freaking over
And then suddenly I think you going to see at the skill the thrifty made so much difference
and then I just cumbled. Yeah.
quite separated from each other.
I think for the last few matches, the energy you played has been pretty far ahead of the pack.
I'd like to see you to chill a little bit and make sure he's connected with a teammate.
They're forcing back.
Yo, is that still a four shot?
It's possible between two teams. Are you getting the expectations?
Oh, that went through him.
He's moving. I think he's moving.
moving yeah you can see how much both of these teams want to take control of the
pace themselves it's full armor on everybody from the MBR so they're not
worried about the outlaw too much but it does tell them that NRG have forced here
which isn't weird
Ethan's got a bucky with no armor on the A site what a buy bucking no armor
Mada has a judge no armor
He did his all on his lonesome
Oh my god
This is how you get scrappy. It's the definition of it. Players are left in weight here. NRG have
handker positions. Ethan, you might not have armor to his name, but that bucky can be
potent and we'll see what he can do with it right now. As our flash is now sent flying
forwards over towards that ace. I must try and lock down control a bit, man. Barely adjusting the
aim. Ethan's there still. A thorn in their side into that elbow control. It's damaged.
Done. It's been fine. Cleans it up. Oh, Bruno gets it as well. He has holes. He has holes.
three energy left reeling brooks already into the site but he's alone one
man to stand against this judge significant amount of damage but as a
shock couldn't wait on the other side of things and he's making the most of it
he's doing the best he possibly can
oh my god oh my god barely delivers it to
MIBR oh my god so close so close wow
MIBR they will finally come out on top surely NRG are not gonna force again
It just wouldn't make sense with the economy situation almost the Brockton. He definitely moved holy shit
Yeah, I mean he didn't know I'm not as well
Could well be everything you've just invested super heavily to try to get back into the game and now instead
MRBR are gonna be able to get a freebie probably and then ult snowball against you
Yeah, it's like team these ults generating one car stress. Yeah, Julis
You do not want to get these ults online the MRBR. Yeah, they're almost certainly gonna be online exactly
Aside from MFB are walking into the stack day site
Which energy can only dream of?
It's gonna be a nightmare, but that's what happens when you gamble in rounds like that. Yeah
I don't know, he's just got to navigate that one threat, and if he can, it could be plain
sailing for the rest of this half.
Lowkey would have been better for NRG to pick to start on attack, so they can set the pace
of the game to start.
Because I feel like playing defense versus team that has this crazy momentum and confidence
is hard.
Yeah, he might have the wrong read here because he thinks there's no signs of life hold on no one's holding this
He has dropped a phantom into the lap of Brawk, but there's no armor and it's a 3d4 with a safe plan
Yeah, they don't want to give any orbs here. I mean, Ethan has one off, so maybe Ethan should go.
Oh my god, that's not good.
That's not good. That's good, actually. Never mind.
Never mind. They kind of trapped them all.
The last class is one-off, but they've damaged the econ.
I guess it worked out. Yeah.
The econ is kind of shit after that.
because these guys are gonna get up to these ults, ass pass is one away from it.
Yeah, they might be already 3-1 in the league.
It's comical out here.
But it's only Texans laughing.
No smiles on the NRG side.
Haven't watched Valor pro scene since champs.
Is it legal to have Zach in the last pass on the same team?
The way this series is going, it shouldn't be.
Has to be the turning point.
control potential priority when you know that oh mother wait for the fight to
come to him up towards Ram there it's a good clean shot second down now that's
that we get to the horn for a second to be able to take a round control
matter away the wide shot missed it's going back for more maybe kicking
himself here oh my god he walked through look at verno
Reynolds walking through man
Somebody help to us. Wow. He's
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I feel bad. This is not a you.
Look at his reaction. He's
the key to the spot's like this.
We're gonna get a multi-kill
spray that's this is a big
tilt. I can't believe it.
This is Big Tiltz, this is Big Tiltz.
It's Big Tiltz.
That is Big Tiltz. Man advantage as well as around 5v4.
They should pause now. I think Bunker is too mad to pause right now.
If he pauses he might fucking crash out on somebody
Maybe better he's keep playing
So many old summon up for MIBR
Come the entry play early on in this round looking for opening picks
Double up a male
Difficult scuba is forwards never a second time. It's like that. Let's do some risks played for that kid is gonna be cleaned up there
Boys on with text over the wall up
I bet
Is he gonna ult for info?
So they're going back to B
Oh wow, what a rotate
What a rotate
Oh god, it's gotta be Kiko
Kiko NEEDS to
Oh my god, he's ulting back sides in the scene. Oh my god, he's gonna get rocketed. Oh my god, he got one, he got one.
Oh wait, time.
Move!
Asbest! Asbest!
No, I thought we'd be as fast.
I can sweat if you rub him around like that.
That smells like, roll gold on me.
I can't see reaction parts.
Yeah.
Whoops.
Wait, did he have all the good times?
Could he have had time?
Yeah, breaking up time.
Chat or nah?
Was it definitely done?
I don't know whether he quite realized.
No, it was definitely done.
That one was gone.
Get me, get me, Pantheon.
Oh, you're too, you're flugging me, bro.
Oh.
They're still in the mood to laugh about it, though,
because they're 4-2 up.
That's the only round that ever came out.
I mean if he didn't get lost would have had it but I was wondering if I
Was wondering if he could have had it if he stuck there, but no he could enough
My god timing
Workout better for
More tax
Yo, yo, yo, it's probably thinking like what the fuck wait now. It's like he just came in the site from like main
How did he die?
What's happening?
You're aware of the flank too, huh?
Attack off is criminal right now.
Oh my god, Monica can't even get out.
Yo, yo, it's over.
It's been over, I guess.
It's more over than ever.
It is so over.
shots and just over all the game
So much more aggression we've seen from them earlier on they're not content to just sit down in their B post plan
They're pushing further looking to take the fight into sport
And attacking into Ethan finding gaps where these players are not connected. Yeah, I would agree like I might be our
Kiko site fairly regularly if they take the site for free the without hesitation keep going for more space in the post
Kiko needs to wake up. He needs some big performances to go.
Yeah, Kiko's had a real fun.
He's taking the San Diego in.
Yeah.
Can't play against his former team.
He didn't get dizzy from you?
You see this again.
It's ass-basket.
You need to get out and your entire thing is coming your way.
It is, yeah.
It's difficult.
I mean, you've gone through some of this.
Oh, you're jiggling it.
It's like a jiggle, right?
Yeah.
That's crazy.
Okay.
Hex got Mato dashing out.
One enemy remains.
Damn.
I'm behind you.
I'm following you.
I did miss each other there to fight the players.
of that is like the players in that round.
Mabiyar, you're going to lead four of them
and they are just sending it once more.
Why not back to the well and back into Kiko?
The B hits have been working.
We pitted to mid.
Hi, John.
I'm Mabiyar, is Bruno.
This one's from NRG to start.
They have players in position to at least try and put a stop.
Here's the BX to it again.
Kiko.
Hold to try and drop it.
Top of the corners.
If you fake holds, and just play time to shot
and gets a kill anyway.
They canceled.
Wait, brought us bam on the tax.
Hinder I think text got hindered
Forwards with text being cleaned up to
I'm not gonna lie. We need to add some support to Kiko's site right now
That was close
The re-contacts to be for
New box matter am I there was a pressing tab?
I'm like, oh, I'm gonna be
It's kind of toxic
You can't give an opportunity for us to get back into this one in the 2v4
I
Was holding on his lonesome
Imagine they run a imagine they run a just imagine
20 seconds they gotta speed it up to through heaven they're gonna go having to be right if they go a all freak out
I would you freak out
They're going in. Oh my god, he's just here. They know he's here. He has time. He has time.
Oh my god. Good kill. 1v3, Verna. They haven't covered.
covered. Holy shit, why did we almost transfer that for half a second? Why was there a world?
Skuba doesn't have armor, there's a light shield, let's say random bullet hits him
in the head. Oh my god.
good job blues good composure okay let's see five three keep it a mental and check
mama's gonna judge it this round now they're going five million a
action here the horn big reveal mama's here yeah with a judge defending a got the dash out
into sight I just landed on the imabia players as they went for the play
there we go
that's a scan
oh god
oh god, oh god, oh my, oh my, oh god, oh god, oh god, it's raining abilities
they heard him, they know him, how do they know him, they heard him
a lot of damage done. But already taking up camp and Kiko was aware of it.
There's a flank, Tex? No, Tex brother, brother. Tex brother. Don't do it man. Don't shoot him.
Pass pass, no flank for Tex. Yo, yo. Did Mada get scammed? I thought that was a double.
They completely are matter with the judge
Jumping over the top
Still jumping money takes the shot. No, he's not got his feet planted slightly less accurate slightly less damage
But the follow-up is what's impressive to me from MBR the youthful is so good the decision-making is so quick today
Happy to go forwards into their opponents. I think quite often across kickoff
Yeah
What is that? 6-3? Yeah. It's just, it's crazy. It's crazy to see how much MIBR leveled up and
how far NRG has fallen for the most important match of the season.
Because NRG is coming off a big win, MIBR is coming off a big loss.
going on so but I don't think it's necessarily a game plan problem I think
that energy have actually found MIBR in you know some difficult spots yeah
interesting how it worked out navigate the mid pressure fight them over
towards a ramp it's just the actual the two big losses yeah for my VR yes
but it looks like I'm not here I coming into the series with momentum
good. Stacker players early break it a boom what? I would love for them to walk into B
here. Buck you out.
This is a high five it is.
Where things go unacceptably in their direction in order to recover this half.
Being an android is overconfident. I wonder if they underestimated MIBR like maybe they
thought it would be like like we got this like I don't know I couldn't tell you like you can point
you can prank that somebody you can pin it on so many different things
rest of the pack now moving over to all day they've been fairly happy with these late A finishes
location yeah it was no push in the push
this is gonna be hard to break the door rebounds back that could have been the key to win potentially
rock has gone you can't get away and sight lines as those folks fade away
spray and hail of bullets is making it very difficult but i'm not here looking to
Yeah, Alverno's too good. They're all too good.
They're getting fucking scum-thumbed.
That's best I know.
That's best getting his bro.
Dude, they're getting demolished!
situations so brilliantly today what a turnaround and a huge turnaround individually for asbestos
13 and 4 top of the school board yeah asbestos he was bottom cracking the last time these two teams
faced against each other on split he's not the whole reason that this is going now dominantly
the way of mbm but it helps nice job holding it down bro down beautiful
the occurring is so clean today though if he's just been holding an angle and you know
He's good for 2, that'd be 3.
Comes up in the hand to Vennarty.
First time in a long while here, but here's a show of stopper to meet your match.
Much bigger gun at hand, and now he's going to be looking to send this one to us.
Good catch on the text.
That was scary for a second though.
Let's get them full side control, but it might be hard not to be content to just sit back in the post plan.
Oh, here comes second.
Last one.
One step further forwards here.
He's gone away with murder!
You can't be getting away with this!
An energy that's sending it fair to care!
Glitz and Mace!
There's more than second!
Kill him!
Kill him, Zach!
Come back?
Zach, come back?
Zach, wait.
Possibly they've already some matters coming in for it.
He's in a 1v3.
It could be possible.
Oh my goodness.
Give them a chance to make it happen.
He's flacked all the way around through a B main.
He was quick on it and they didn't hear him because of the cosmic divide.
He's made a lot of moves, like you said. They were fast enough because we divide hiding his intent
He's not being handed any one-by-ones any free kills. It's past the positions going exploring. He's so aware
Oh brother, this is gets worse and worse
I'm a VR again away with today
It's been over but I fuck this is crazy
But energy don't expect the matter in which they go for it
Catching the timing on both players
Utile fully in the hands of Ethan and
Utilizing the cause
Into heaven unexpectedly
Absolutely nuts crazy. Yeah
That's her
shit
MIBR are freaking insane
Nothing makes sense dude
Oh my god
Oh my god, you took him
Oh my god, you let him die
oh my god oh my god how does ass pass get that kill oh my god he got another oh my god
what the fuck
yeah no
they're wiping away an RG with the same level of dominance at my beyond themselves lost two
yesterday. The turnaround is unbelievable. Everything is working. It doesn't matter what
they throw out there, how individual it is as well. I mean, that's what's in the screen.
You're right. They're walking on water. They really are. This is a team that feels preordained
about that ticket to Santiago to be that last team, but we'll find out when you have
side of this was some everything at RG like needed and had oh my god some broke
them you legit broke them and he's probably laughing this is foul behavior
This is freaking foul behavior.
Music?
Ddu-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du.
Absolutely foul behavior.
Thanks this Eric is out of my control brother out of my
Hey grid
Is there all the best fracking IGL he's definitely up there
For America's, here we go, Maline, I mean, Art's dragging, Art, Verno, Maline, the
three teams are qualified, Bora, I was going to say Jon, but he's got IGL right now.
Um
Yeltsis
Hey, there's a few out there verna definitely up there though
Okay, nine three up two oh in the lead
MIBR looking good to be able to get themselves there
And if NRG want a chance, they're gonna have to mount a ridiculous comeback. I'm said I'm 37
Tom they need you bro. I'm coming 37 only one of these two teams
First of all, that's messed up, man.
Second of all, I can't believe you did this, NRG.
They hit.
Oh!
5v4.
Second on the prowl scuba on the lay flank
They love doing this same thing as binds
I mean dude, I think energy have won most of the pistols now
They won attack defense or start defense attack on Corode
They won defense on Corode. They lost attack. And then on Binds. They won attack. I don't
know about defense. They won defense on Binds.
without really any kill money either so energy should have a chance it's a nice
after this they definitely lost on um they've won four out of four out of six
I saw you say yeah hasn't helped you see as I said to open up on split it's
not exactly as simple as it sounds now but still exactly what they need is to
try and boost them I think it's a lot of selection here full armor just under
Bucky go psycho mode
Yeah, like I said earlier, they have been my knees to play for three right now like a secret do it
He would be the guy to do it
Tends to take a sheriff in the low key models not trying. I'm gonna say it when I'm gonna piss me off Monica. You start like trying
I'm a heavy stack like energy we're approaching on that Ecos, but all the sound cues here. Maybe I've got a bit of a reeds
holding a pretty safe position right now of the beast there's gonna hit our
throsh and he's gonna see the salvo so that should spell out quite a lot of it
I'm gonna be joining but the scene has gone down early enough for energy this
is good signs of life this needs to be clean
man I go chasing me cuz brother fuck it needs to be clean at this point yeah
reverse he's scared he's scared he's just scared like what if he like dies
And then they lose
One bullet
Poor Kiko brah for Kiko, I'm not gonna lie, dude
He has a bucky don't do it
It's like keep the rifles active into the next so you're gonna be able to get those
of me strong bonus round and it's actually gonna be in my VR match after this
last one last game of all regions
I think a single force by a question mark
we need more water
rockers out of water
all right
I'll draw and pick it up later
he's got more things to worry about right now
he really does
Sign of the mental state. Yeah, that's in the fucking dumps
Those are more brothers running this night, dude star player shut down seventh death is wide out into the open
Using all of this run for
It's huge.
She goes ready.
Great shutdown.
Oh!
Hold it for all of this now.
This is NRG sharp.
Shoot him.
Ah!
Tex, why not?
Does he know?
If does he know 1v4 is here, we all go bald together.
Four players alive.
And this is where you see NRG cleanly execute their 5v4s.
It has been a huge tournament.
6-9, 6-9, 6-9.
But they get a pick.
That's the bonus.
They punish your attempt to make some counterplay.
to play at that I think is a perfect example the issue is is there a draw
for this I don't know for Santiago I'm not sure how they're doing that
the economy of Mabia would be taking place here and my they came into it
with I think you could argue better weaponry yes there is and mother now
gets a chance to go crazy with the outlaw you can't buy too much as the
defenders it's looking more and more do well I know G they should be up to
Did he say yesterday? I see it.
I already used refracts. How far can he go?
Soft flower, he's soft flower, he's soft flower.
Oi. OI! OI! OI!
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Whether Mada might be locking in dude
You could play for three. I'm not kidding you guys
If Mada starts trying because I know I'm not kidding also. I don't think he was carried
I don't think he's like he cared. He might
Okay, not that he didn't care about I
Don't think he realized how close he is to elimination, but maybe now he knows
I don't know what I'm saying, brother.
Looking in the best position out of maybe any of the maps that we've seen them play today
to start some kind of recovery.
Snowball here is pretty obvious.
They've got a big initiation ultimate and they've got one to close out.
It might be our pause.
First one.
You've got to craft the game plan.
counters what NRG are gonna be coming up with. This goes back to what Ardizino was
actually talking about on the desk where he was saying, don't overthink things.
It's really easy after a tag time out like this for NRG to think to themselves,
well they know what else we're gonna use, they know we're gonna lead with
waylay ult, try to close out with a fake. So maybe we try something a bit
funny, maybe we try to hold onto the ult, maybe we run a fake with it,
maybe we do something that one layer deeper, well when you've got a good
in going like this sometimes it's better to keep it simple just execute with the
bigger frontage that you have
I definitely agree
bonka is trying to keep energy out of the camp
wrestling on board to wisdom I'm sure
a little wahoo
yeah perhaps is that what you do
that's what bonka does
famously
Asfast has got the investment into the operator here, he's not going to be seeing too much
of his strategy players.
Here we go, the second run.
Yeah, taking it over towards A-Ram, he's going to have a Viper wall in his face unless
he gets on a deep line with a Prowler, and then when he gets on a deep line with a
Prowler, MIBR can start stacking players over towards B.
Hit those seemingly to goal.
On the other hand, NRG's game plan might be to try to find out where Tex is and
then ulti.
This goes, flash is going a little bit wide.
Flash flash.
There it is.
He's alone.
He's so far ahead of the pack there.
On Orthodox really.
Unprecedented is not what you expect from him.
He's still betrayed.
Kiko!
Come alive in the final few moments here.
As fast as alive for an AWP.
That's what you expect from the guy that they've picked up here.
Added an in for his firepower.
Creates a 3v2.
Uh oh, he's flanking them.
them. I got away. Oh, he goes wide at that. That's fast. That's where I think I won't play
is the sports has to be popped in kick off immediately repositioning. I think this is
a save on the off has to be right? I don't know. He could certainly try to go for it.
I'll be throwing cause you're up. Where'd it go? Did he drop it down? The road individuality
that
split
doesn't get given any free kills though
he may well just play cautiously
and go to save the op
keiko
immediately hurt by keiko, he's running
look at him, all the way through spawn
yeah
that pass? I mean W, R17 and A is clean
I try to avoid getting 10 deaths
best in all my games because double digit best doesn't look nice so once I
start getting close to ten I just say it's all retakes like around eight nine
I don't go for the retake I don't care the situation
he's immediately made the decision to rotate there but he still gets punished for
well he's the person that really wins the round for an RG the game plan was
good they find out where a Texas playing and Waleigh Elton Ethan as you
pointed out is way ahead of things charging through a snake fight and it
does require
They're replaying Aspas's wave without a whip
It did go through his pocket
Kiko should play Rage on this map, they should play Double Dorsi's ink
hands and gone over to a makes more sense I think
second play a lot more aggressive on that a land with the light wall is that can
love this a fight is more useful and being able to help text a human
door oh it's a depop
because we divide but you know
Mara's alive
so mana pressure is still holding it down towards
mara need them
text
burdo holy trade trade trade
one v two discipline raining through this is what got them through
got them a title win and a championship one at that it's on or no play forwards I think
I saw him maybe the wall fades away I feel like they may have but I could be wrong as
you till the do so flash round the corner shots fired into the back but again the
other place to account for one be one and Kiko and the Stouting and he's fine a
a few rounds to pull already out.
It's like, gonna be Ronald up here at the top.
He's guessing where Kiko could be running around second.
Kiko through.
I don't like how he played it, damn.
Beautifully immaculate in the clutch.
Completely outplayed.
He ran out on a shorty.
What a way to win a round out for the second.
And he's had some monster moments here.
Oh, was that?
I ain't saying that.
Running down, broke again.
Reminiscent of his push-up into be having a very from this guy. I'm yeah, I thought he would be here to trade
But he played two ones
But I don't hate that either. I just don't like how he
Play to close it out another big one be super second by the way, you know one big beyond buying that thing
Yeah, that was the first round. I got that was a huge round man
It's gonna be laid down here nice and early
It's going to simplify the defensive game plan.
Deccan's going to walk through no way, right?
Deccan's inside the pit looking to try to punish if anyone was playing here early on.
Just helping cover.
Have to be a bit more diligent inside this pit than they usually would be.
Four ults for MIBR.
What are you doing really early there?
Looks like NRG waited out the Euro TP and then they go for map control.
Reclear from Vernau.
Mazino is jiggling.
Oh wait, he's paranoid. Wow.
That was...
Yeah.
It's all moderate, paranoid, right away.
Quirks of the round I think
Bottle got aura picked correctly back to a they go as fast alone
Active as an off though as best has an AWP and he's one off rocket be worried about the operator over here
So
This line is good be very
Good you so we can choose. I exactly want to play this one. Yeah, I'm sorry for the retake for a
They're a dog now.
That is a view.
A lot of pushing.
You're gonna get flanks.
Timing ropes.
Full moderate.
Wait, Zekin's in the safe.
He's in the zone.
What the fuck?
What the fuck is that?
No, you can buy that might to top up to the plan force it out that pool, but he's fights take it up towards that
That first leg now you're not shit. Just peeking barely at that
Rock oh my god. They almost lost that bro. I'm not gonna lie
You're working around like that, but energy now just try. Oh my god. That's to be three
I'm pretty sure right very solid on these attack side hints. Oh my god
Every round apart from one converted for energy
He jumped in the box and killed him.
Huge.
And he has a-
EECO for N.I.B.R.
critical an MLB are coming into this one with only classics a bucky in the hand of us bus
I hope you make it interesting to if there are a couple of early mistakes from energy
So far they have not been in a habit of making all his time this half
The Zena spotted you don't want to give him that again again. He's gonna be pressed hard
Oh my god
Dodging and jukeing
Whoo
To get online and he'll be brother the B-side. I'm going to my ace
Watch my flank please.
Look at Kiko.
There's a flank.
Gimado's watching, it looks like.
Yo, imagine.
There's a world where that could have worked.
Kiko was there a second ago.
Gimado's waking up.
Yeah, he has been.
He's gonna be 10 10 really ends that chest gives another opportunity to crush an aviar's economy
More importantly, it's a massive clash of alts
Modern bro could to critical space taking alts
We want a map for to navigate around us pass. Yes
And the off which M.I.B.R. Are gonna have money for again
Good job of it though to be honest
Default attacks I brought it in throwing
These guys are broke.
He's doing a lot to shove him off that angle.
That's fast when he's on the raise. He can't play as aggro as second good for example.
NRG have also been doing late into A, where second game crash has won a X5.
Close-fade shots from Maros.
Good job, boys. Good job.
They have a very clear game plan that's working out for them.
Well, you know that MRBR have got the money for the operator.
Do you want to rip something quickly?
There's always a worry when you play against a Eurocom, the second will just be reinforcing the site, you'll always be going to the same site.
It's nice to mix up the tempo sometimes.
Definitely is, Flash Connection.
There's some knowledge from there.
Am I getting it?
They can't get out.
You're the truth and you're going to be going down.
That was perfect, wow.
Tram's alive.
Potentially a bit of hard auntie, knowing the way that Tex likes to play.
Yeah, it's really lovely.
And even getting the confirmation of Ethan's Flash.
I'm going to rush. Both times now that they've had big ultimates, Tex has been the target.
Pressure really on Latino here. He has to hold this. We're back. Single handedly.
Spikes is spawned.
Asbestos has Rocket.
I'm generally speaking, but today MIBR have been able to find those important individual
mobs.
Verna's going to lane B. They have 3B. Uh oh, they're walking into the stack.
Yeah, he heard ropes and he goes B.
Yeah, it's actually quite the read.
Yeah, like if you make noise in ropes,
you're more likely to not be going A low key, right?
Because if you were gonna go A, you'd have been quiet about it.
But I could be overreading that.
Oh, wow.
Shotguns.
It's gonna blow.
Kiko, Punish on Burnal. Huge proc 3k.
Huge huge crazy moment that could have potentially tipped the scales, but energy's all usage here
I think we kill heaven was big
And then you have Brock cleaning up perfect target the tagging ass fast second
He's going for this one out of all the rounds he picks CP out
Well, you know what's this like what's the thing for ass fast is that they press tab they see as fast
They're like, oh, he's saving but really
This one asshole is time to shine and eventually shut down right here energy taking the lead
I'm sort of probably say they're not lucky on split and the economies in a shambo. I think they're money shot
I might be our we'll be able to get weapons on a few of their players
But I think there's an argument here for trying to play for OT
Look at this punish. Yeah, I think about the way that the way layout was used previously with text being spotted over towards
And see the back
And by beer last pause what is that 1110 variations
Look at the money dog, right look at the credits that I work with it's a house bus and verna
It is 1110 rifles in hand, but second text and Masita. What would they even be by like light on the bulldog or something?
Yeah, it would be real tough. It would be a bad buy if they went patients half by this
No
They don't want to play for a TV. Do not want to let energy not
Asbestos been holding on to the show stuff. I prefer any rounds of this one
Yeah, that's been two or three at least
Second half onwards full control
energy with the game state of it the plans have been working the kills have been
good and they cleaned up a lot of the weaknesses there's been gaps here and
there was you know 6 and 13 yes lower game for him discipline a lot more
diligent I also think though the MIR haven't found the same opportunities to
go and push them disrupts what energy escape we all slow them down a lot to
be honest yeah I have been thinking throughout kickoff that the office
sometimes been a detriment for MIR we go full buy
forward that is a shot got away.
Okay, and it's my I was going for a smoke shot and asked me to
follow up on that response. Damn, he's picked up the operator.
How about Tex? You think not?
See knowledge of back himself. I see he's an up.
Moving away to a
I'm guessing perhaps themselves I'm wondering what they want to do in a spot like this even
the whole time just being holding on to some passive level of B main control they're gonna
contact B behind Ethan's op.
That's what that's supposed to be with that showstopper.
And they know that he was here.
Oh he's trading now.
Whether he stayed here.
Keep going.
Different question.
Wait look at the lurk by the way.
The Mazzino at least a few players see maybe all three might go back to a order space. Look at the lurk by the way
That's a huge skill that operate
No broken and now they see us bust. They know the show
Now taxes the thorn text though could oh my god 20 seconds. He has a judge
and the judge. Oh,
incredible level of seconds
or two. He has a judge too.
The playmaker around like this
and this is desperation.
Rockets and it won't be three.
He needs to kill the ball right
there. Oh my god.
is stressed there yeah if us bus had ripped his alt oh yes we shot on that wall if
aspects pop this rocket he won but he didn't know he punted there I guess he
didn't hear it he actually could have shot us rocket at the wall but obviously
he didn't know would have been in here and it's gonna be bad by after bad buying
out by the mother fuck what a way to win that rounds relief painted on the
faces of energy brought pulls out his classic weapon here look at the
They're trying to get a punish early on on MLB.
I've been peeking this area.
Aspas has got some opportunity to use a shot.
The thing for Aspas now is that I don't know if he feels this way,
but when I'm on Raising, I've had it for a few rounds.
And I'm sure it would apply to even a pro.
Like, they start to feel the pressure of now,
like, I have to use my ult, which makes them want to play
like a different way, like, safer, because they don't want
to take as many risks as they normally would.
So I wonder if that's in his head right now.
as you said it was only for now now
like is he gonna force it too hard but
maybe he's not even fazed by it cause he's peaking the men
at this point really NRG
all he has to do is lie and wait and maybe the game will come to them
yep and very good at punishing him maybe i here
this map that found the adjustment that works
going over towards A's
oh shit
you stop for what kind of timing i'm not too sure but it's definitely speaking of the rest of NRG
secondary
into the frame
was the asides that can only got the judge cosmic divide cuts it up he is
alone he's a freaking judge he could be used to see if he can get himself out of
here what's he here timing by text he takes it straight towards rotten these
players are barely getting in right now and again that old could be used he
here's the flash now second the impression the judge again on the
weapon for the job it's all just scraps oh my god they might be are gonna do the
best they possibly can't oh my god it's 2v3
Big top now operator in his hands to be three to matter of survival here for MIBR
Rockin scuba round
To be a cross-cut set up these angers with a weapon race gotta be better
Surely and our G with a rifles are gonna find a way through
Few more kills going away
Reset of the aim and I was just left out a scuba scuba won't be one
Wow
Wow, wow we go map for holy fuck what a way to do it
for NRG. Model looks fucking pissed, dude. Model looks pissed!
Oh my God, so scary, so crazy, so scary, so crazy.
Yo, yo, yo, we might have a series on our hands. We might have a series, dude.
Holy shit, this guy looks like he hit the jackpot.
for the first time in this
series, and Matt goes the way
that they drafted it up. Yeah.
You see from the reigning world
champions on display, second half
onwards, the game plans of M. R.
B. R. Miles going to jump for
you next year. And now this is
the game is up. My last
time, the old man. I don't
know, but it's a different
after seeing taking. Keep this
up. There is a chance
possibly have some kind of
reverse sweep happening. Yeah.
Oh my God, I remember that round, holy fucks.
Look at Mata's first skills, first effort, that game, I'll take a look.
Okay, let's see here.
That's sick.
Yeah, plus six is, man, he was getting a lot of picks.
Also, Kiko started to lock in that second half.
They needed that from him, too.
you
and
Oh my god, that was way too hell.
That was awesome.
I'm excited to jump into this.
You have already started, how good is it?
Welcome.
So this is our culinary.
Chile is just an amazing country.
We have a lot of things, but this is the best for me.
You're actually going to be surprised.
So we have a completo, that is basically a hot dog that has avocado, tomato and
mayonnaise.
And then you have also the churrasco.
That is basically like a hamburger, but it's not the burger.
If not, it's like a different type of meat and it also has avocado and tomato so
They like avocado. I like avocado. I never had avocado with a hot dog. Yeah, go all in. It's a bread that it's got in there
Damn
Where do you like usually find this is it's kind of like you're hanging out street fair food
You're going to find a restaurant. It's just like everywhere you can grab it everywhere
But there's of course some restaurants that are better, but you can grab it everywhere
It's actually really easy to make too so everyone can eat it
We have these two here and some more behind us, but what is one more that people should look out for if they're going to Santiago
Oh, that's a nice question. So we have a sweet also dessert that it's mote con huesillo
It's like a juice that also has like some fruit in it
It's it is really good and you can find that like in street food and everywhere. Yeah, amazing. Belina. Thank you so much
Yeah, damn.
Who's eating right now?
Oh, OK.
That's cool.
You know, just the Chilean food in general
just makes it so freaking good out here.
Speaking of, I think some more players are enjoying some of that.
I will refuel, man.
Well, I've drawn up a game plan to put it together.
Asked us to drink an apple juice, I saw it.
There were one game away from qualifying for Master Santiago,
but they slipped up.
And instead NRG managed to pick up a big win on Split
13 to 10 and obviously what we were seeing was really me me just an energy team that
Looked like men possess they needed to win this game and they had no other choice
They had to make sure that they loved my VR. They had the agency had everything that they
You know screen. Yeah seems like all went according to plan, but it didn't start that way really
They were down nine three at the half
But then going to the second immediately when the pistol the bonus go on a ten to one record on that second
Yeah, Mata kicked things off.
Think of the 36th.
I go?
being that solo duo is carrying a lot of that weight of taking that space but to be honest the utility that they had did a lot for them
I think this attack side just showed energy strengths, which we know is a lot of that utility
It's a lot of the alts snowballing rounds
Yeah, thank you
Like this was their bread and butter where they were winning so many rounds in a row getting that bonus round as well
Which was super important to get their economy up and then getting those alts to kind of set up plays
That's what I did as well to make sure that they're executed there. It was a little bit of a brawl fest
I will say I ordered fun energy from I was expecting that this map was gonna be over
I'm gonna eat it more collected off-stream executes man, but shit
The way this is going though. It's were fantastic, but I also like the rounds where they did slow
I thought I was like get my father ready for after punishing in my view we might be here
Well, it's gonna be here in five minutes. So we'll definitely be here
I think especially to that that bond is hot. So you know, I haven't had that in so long
Extremities taking risks here at our view is so much more centered in how they were punishing those plays and taking that time
To actually read clear before they went into these later all of a sudden everyone had fun
Well, you know coach fraud earlier had mentioned how they were really looking to disrupt
What's happened for G get in their face cause of problems
I'm definitely tell that that was the playbook on the other side in this game, too
And I don't know why you'd be and if anything they're putting together a damn good run right now
I don't know exactly, but I just get this one that I like.
Going under the lower bracket is do or die.
And I mean we kind of, we do like that do or die mentality.
We like when our backs are against the wall.
It happened to us last year in split 2 as well, where we lost 100 thieves.
And we had to win out the entire split all the way to champs.
and you see where it ended up so I mean I'd say we live in the deep end that's
kind of what we live by our team and a driver we like when there's no second
chances shit I'll tell you what it's a good thing modest tall because you know
being a deep end you know you know that was one of my best work let's let's
So folks in here though
I lost the message
We can always commend you know the work that he puts out here Athena
But it also it's like you needed him in this moment here, right?
And he knows that that pressure was on him and he showed up when they needed him most
He definitely did and I think one of the biggest contrasts
Are you in the world today? Yeah, I fucking lost
Where we saw Mada kind of walking up a lot of the time and then the utility
I got worked
Behind him but here felt like he was not afraid to take a lot of those timings
Dash in and really get in their faces and kind of put a stop into any kind of extremities control or mid-control or anything
That I just feel badly
Hungry
Actually committing to execs here
Yeah, we also see him pick up the role of the op right and found a lot of impact to even on the attacks
Like some of the entries he were getting was literally with that operator and my VR did not have an answer back to that
A lot of the times we saw
My food's coming, I'm ready for a map fight.
An RG Reverse Truth in coming? Some?
I'm fucking ready, dude.
I think it's doable, dude.
I'm ready for Arc Raiders? No, I'm ready for bad.
I'm tired of shit.
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.
Once I get this through with me, I'll be a different man.
Literally nothing that text could have done to get out of that
Early today, and it really plays out the rounds for them. Yeah, beautifully done
But
We shift our focus over toward the this here this of course will be Kevin the rents all over Twitter right now
This is Berger getting exposed hard as fuck.
I did even tweet some of that. How did it? I mean, I forget the how, but I wonder what he's been tweeting.
And has he responded to it getting exposed?
Funniest thing I've ever seen, but I gotta check that out.
Where can I see this unfold?
kind of keep up the performance that he's been having but the good thing is is he
has been performing he's been showing up for his team today and I expect nothing
less going into this map my worry for both these teams I can't trust Jabari to
make a fucking shot and get a stop they looked really scrappy it wasn't
the energy that we normally see which is really really calculated they had a
lot of these small trap plays but in stuff like post-pants they were
struggling to hold against these oh wait struggling to kind of get the
It's his burner, but normally we see them really he's tweeting as KD or he's tweeting as a random person
They are relying heavily on us
And that's a lot of those main controls, but again like you said when they have so much utility
They have the drones they have so much kind of useful to push them off of it
How can they kind of answer that was in a great job?
Great insight here on the desk as we get ready for math for something
What the fuck?
I saw the other day Anthony Davis said he hasn't been on social media in three or four
years or empty ever sorry I like Anthony Edwards
wherever I see him play or his interviews like seems really charismatic
and I don't know he seems nice like nice of the game
I
Getting back into it now here. This is an RG
Leave the driving seat it feels like that's funny. He's kind of a backwards in a tonal shift almost in terms of the way
Especially what's this? We're going live right now. I might be out felt like they were in control from beginning up until
That pivotal moment when you were able to win that piece around second half a split and just take it away
Let's all this
We've seen it, we've seen it.
Okay, this guy's not gonna be that guy standing.
Turn to potentially experience the same thing.
Up 9-3 in the third map.
Edward just got off our MEP.
Hey!
Defending World Champions.
You do have to close those out sometimes.
You're not gonna be given a ton of opportunities.
You don't want to let your opponent back into the game and this map particularly interesting
All right, because it's one where we've seen these teams clash before
NRG's Viper composition completely shut us down. Yeah, he wasn't able to have any values constantly
Staring into smokes. It's impossibly hard to be honest. I mean, yeah, that's what you're saying the smokes
They have they're constantly renewing though up in your face
You're trying to op you don't have any open sight lines constantly. I mean NRG gonna make it a nightmare
I think it might be hard to try and enable their star player of Aspas on the jet
We already saw that on the second half of split. They were avoiding working around as well. Yeah the operator constantly
And I think that's crucial for the next level
Defense side, yeah, because that's where they've been struggling in order to make it as easy as possible
Mib I need to come out with a very strong performance instantly get as much activated on the attack side
Be able to do stuff like we were seeing very recently
Recently, NRG loved to throw that Viper wall to defend on B. Can you contact up into that space?
Can you find early opening picks on Tamada for example? A lot of those first kills in Split were going the way of NRG.
And that trend has to be reversed for MRB R to have a good chance here.
We dive in deeper and deeper as that map pull.
It was their way.
So far expectations as well. Double dualist, second.
He's going to be relegated to more supportive positions. Not necessarily, I mean he can be aggressive with the Omen.
He doesn't have to play in that more passive position, but...
I think he should be. I think he needs to be actually.
You know, you've already got Tex to be able to cover some of the smoke in GG.
Tex himself is going to be playing more passive, more control in the flank, or getting the lurk down and playing for his pull.
So that does freeze Ekken up. He should be able to get in there with Asgard.
Sliders of off-angles here. Basement switch set up, but burn-o!
They still need to clear up, but again, the sound was just immediately there.
The supplement, as soon as the contact has taken a dash, we're already expended and used,
but the Paranoia surely has to get it all, but the damage goes both ways.
Broke, who leaves that pressure, and you're in there for the damage, collating and cleaning.
Hold on! Hold on!
Trying to HP available, but obviously it's already done.
Broke delivers them.
Hold on just a minute. Yeah, I've been on a lift for so long. Good support
Oh shit
Son
They got yeah a lot of this around
Or that five out of seven
Or grab back to be made they go
You follow we are gonna try and make the most of around like this, but they don't have much money
Yeah, you might well see just Mazzino playing for this orb as well.
Headshot angle being held by Mada.
It's a play you don't want to get online.
Oh!
Spotted.
Paranoid.
You can't run down!
Kiko's form?
Kiko!
You will get the plant here.
I'm not quite sure what the game was doing enough to dissuade it, but MIBR just took a good opportunity to get involved.
They could be sent for NRG though.
Not letting anything slip, Kiko, straight there.
We'll get the plant in here.
Using that B site, cleaning up these players, and that's possible.
Commit to the plant and barely get out of there.
We can soften an easy target for Kiko.
That kills for him.
Yeah, just get the plant money online for your team.
Make sure that you're doing well economically.
If Kiko activates, we win the series.
Rolk though, picks up the fuse to that plant.
Yeah, he's totally warming up from the second half of last map.
in terms of getting his ult online pretty quickly.
It's a similar defensive setup for NRG,
one that MIBR should be aware of, used to,
have seen on the tape.
We?
Right, he's done it, I read it.
When these two teams clashed on a base last time,
you got to see the signs flipped around.
We barely got to see this configuration
with NRG heavy defending and MIBR on the attack.
My foes gotta be close.
I'm going to dunk my head into it, okay bonus for NRG, 3-1-1 default for MIBR, now they
is re clearing mid together while NRG is re clearing B as four.
And now Brock is also joining out A.
Mada's going for a push, but Mada,
almost.
hasn't happened he's told the line this is what we saw okay they have no info on
B now they're just hitting A I mean I like how I might be afraid this so far
even though you are aware that Mata likes to go for this he does just over
the line perfectly will Mata ever clear this now he's gonna stay here all
around in a lot of value from a spot like this he go has paranoia and a
guardian Brock has a phantom they got some strong
Let's see
Paranoia
Second I'm gonna claim these kills but I need to hold this one
No
The normal default position which is the safest if people are coming through spawn they didn't want to commit to it because brooks
Normally a nightmare in heaven.
You're gonna be throwing darts, shots, and all sorts of air.
It's people getting missed on here as well.
And then they're punching a back sight, and look, two players flooding in there, able to get the kill.
What the fuck?
They've just been taken alive!
What the fuck?
Hey, knows he's already won the round at that point.
Stingers up for MIBR.
This is a disaster beginning.
Two of us cracking jokes on stage while they're down.
I'm gonna steam at this point.
The toll perhaps of all these games they'd have to play.
5 man B hit. It's a half by MIBR.
NRG got three here.
Second.
Last mass traded.
Big shot.
Raph with the flood!
1v2 right now.
Boom.
Oh yeah.
Got to wake him a little bit early, I think, to catch him up there.
Four rounds now on a roll.
This is the second succession here for NRG.
They've got a cold confidence about them.
Ethan's individual level has also just gone up enormously
since that opening map.
He's holding some really important lines here,
where if he misses the shot, the round
could spiral out of control.
But he's there, and he controls it
and makes sure that MIBR can't run away with those stingers.
As a positive for MIBR, I like the way
that they're getting second into the site with us bus double dive two rounds in a row where seconds
gone yeah teleport into a smoke so that you get a bit of that like almost quasi double due list
initiation into the site it will pay off eventually probably here we go i've drawn us a salvo
lay it down to cancel out that drone oh not actually we're doing all the time we're beating out
And around her seats, what am I watching from the M.I.B.R. POVs?
Now the pressure is beginning to mount.
That's gross.
Where is the skill that was so on the point earlier in this match?
Very, very shaky, very wiffy and instantly fraud is hitting the time out.
This play is beautiful from Brock.
The anticipation of the teleport.
We saw him almost connect with one of these earlier in the match.
and energy are there ready for it energy you've got a five and zero winning every
energy are so happy now interesting and my beer first-pause five oh yeah I want to go
yeah I'm not here in here pitchfork it might be about that time which is not
how this match began something has shifted yeah I don't know is it is it
I'm looking at the POVs of the MIBR players and I'm thinking that's the way it's almost become too real for them.
They've played with a lack of fear at the start of this, constantly crushing, always bringing the tempo and putting the pressure on it.
I'm freaking wonder.
And now it feels like they've frozen up again.
It could also be a question of lack of time to really prep because they went from 1 vs 5 into the next.
You can kind of predict where the beginning of the map's going to go once the picks and bans, right?
Okay, they'll let this in we're probably gonna be playing coro. We have a game plan for that. You hear some of the thought with us, dude
I'm so hungry man to ban breeze. I mean this bad
emphasis on to bind I
Strong but then it starts to clean off a little bit, but they have played against
energy on this map before like if you were looking at the previous game and I'm in a half by
looking at this aspect hero Vandal
And also no alts. Yeah, they have cable to nominal, but the individual I don't think I use that
I've started to die down for my beer
Probably to have a powered by a sometimes that's fast rock is blind
Was here was here the biggest scuba's position is quite nice indeed. You can have a position to convert your
huge team play
Oh
That's just modest spamming into the choke there that is absolutely brutal the way the energy player out smokes is world-class
Because it should be for the defending world champions
They're starting to show!
It's six rounds in a row. It is flawless.
Barely a shredded damage being done.
NRG, they're in control.
Second half of Split onwards. They have not slowed down.
They are showing what it takes to be a world champion.
Yeah, since the second half of Split, there's only been a single round one for MBR.
Oh, damn.
This is like 16-1? Is it 16-1?
16-1 if they might be on want to close this one out here on a base. They've got to get back into the game right here with their
Alts
The last 17 rounds
Early pit nice and early predicting that they're going to go through the cosmic divide play into a
Pit down in your face and learn. I was gonna make an adjustment instantly
All five players were grouped up on the A side of the map, but they don't really have a play to get through that
Mid control into Mata. No ops here
Mata goes into spam. No damage really, that can sit up a little
And they're going through mid back to B. We're eating his jiggling
Ethan's already used his drone on B and now he's just jiggle-peaking to try to get information
and maybe I'll walk him back in the dark and try to make a shot on him.
Yeah, you went for it!
That's gonna be retake. That's how they should be really strong here, Verna with ult.
Wow! A scene shot on Aspas!
So we've already done the damage, we've got the full advantage.
Again, playing around the smokes perfectly.
This one's gonna be deleted.
Yeah, this Vapor wall is great.
I must win round for MIBR.
Big Diger.
There's a flank in the scuba, yeah.
But there's also a flank from...
...Tax.
Both teams are being flanked.
Time? Time?
from the side to snake button the shot
is having all of it in the block again
strong anticipated second ready for it in tex
back in attack 2v4
that was here
the end of that round and finally around on the board that MIBR needed
they closed things out so many layers to that one
verno didn't even have to use this overall in the end
because they sent an extra layer of tex walking up through mid
they're also aware of the body block as you called out because
that has been winning a lot of these teams rounds at this point when you trust too much
in the pool but seconds thinking about it unloads bullets in it catches both makes a
crucial difference I mean you know if they're body blocking the boat gonna get
vulnerable as well yeah all right mr. BR they stopped the rock
not barely tell whether that's a big reveal of the Mazzino good trade back
though it is yeah necessary one at that
It's such a nice idea for a second. What's happening? I missed it all.
This is going to be kind of hard to eat on stream, holy fuck.
I don't know to expend but didn't want to use it
This text is looking to see what he can get. Somebody spotted that by the jump spot and the start is good
Special delivery right into his lap
Text is really caught but there's a tough spot here
Look at that AG, immediately proactivity called for
This is going to keep the timing for Aspa-Sinverno to get into A
There's no fucking way, I'll kill you everywhere
I hear it
I'm going to, this is really hard
I'm trying to show you, I'm pushing nice build on crime
No committal, shot darts raining down, heavy damage.
I knew nothing more dude.
No text was here, but Mada is not thinking about it.
It's all about what text combined here, the barrel might betray, and yes, Mada spotted
biting the time.
Oh no!
They should have played too much, and Mada want a shot, what a reaction!
Double dash in now, he's feeling it!
The rest of NG looking to see if they can play, and the salves all the way in
in the 2v3, though still having one scaven to plant, finding committal to damage,
I
Think of her no aces the only thing that could have saved MIBR from a complete mental collapse though
It is a little bit of a smirk on the face of text, but he knows he's absolutely bottled that one
Yeah, there's seven one down MIBR needed it
He goes for the oh my god
I'm playing.
It just beeps about five bullets straight into the back wall.
What a mess! What an absolute mess!
And I think that is a showcase of what's been going wrong for MIBR.
7-1.
All of the spots where previously it felt like, I think the phrase you were using was, was, uh, walking on water?
Yeah.
And now, they're drowning.
They are sinking, we can hear that.
We go.
of here for MIBR again it's another eco round but they're not in a position to take eco's
what?
Good to be, good to be
Oh we got the guy in the back
Wow that's overwhelming
Overwhelming with the guns, 8-1 now, this is the first base bomb my coach would clean me out for that.
I don't know if that's the right analogy but.
When NRG have the stronger weaponry, they're completely crushing him.
It's more like going for an extra base, no?
Oh my god, we're abusing this guy!
this guy. Where are you going, V? Where are you going?
Bully and a guy that started out his story in tier one on NRG.
I'm gonna be taking the time out here. They need an adjustment for sure. They had a clear
game plan at the beginning, which was we're gonna run some execs, where we go in with
Aspas, with Zekken, we then have Mazzino's flashes to be able to set them up, and
Hopefully that'll be enough to be able to overwhelm the anchors and
The game plan was somewhat working. They were getting to close situations that they couldn't quite close out
But now it feels like they've they've lost it a bit more and energy of walking up even further firepower differential
Well these fights not going away in the game plans to show
Every layer of it has been going on further on down there. What are you talking about?
I love the way the energy plan out smokes. I think I don't mind me
I'm on break for the rest of the day with Kiko and Scoobers folks and then playing in the rest of their defenders behind them
They'll always have somebody
Threatening around these anchor positions
And letting the rest of the team to flood
Mada has got the operator
He's looking to try to take an early line at cross mid
MIBR what a condition if you can't do that. So it looks like we'll get a clutch early
Here's a lineup right it down
they can get
oh
that's a shot on wide matter
this point his form has been
under these four players on mid
missed shots like that
wait, rock the nano
rock the nano
holy youself
you gotta kill
wins it
there's the star powered
what
Third there's the individual ability to play in my VR early on scuba's here
Put in a tough spot hold those noodles and wriggle it out all those noodles
Projects this time in as fast eager drop scuba takes him out mad on our left in a 1v5
Of course, he's gonna make a play for it, but not long for the world and it's all like that
So, second round and it is flawless at that here for MIBR, adjustments working, mid pressure of the marketers individuals a second
You can tell from the way that Broad contested this space. He was very unaware of the event had been broken
And Zeke has been trying to get into it a couple of times
He made a play with the recall smoke and a breech is round and mutter hit him in the op-shot
Yeah, it was
It was a big round from Zeke
They do need more
And I be our off the pause right only two more rounds of the play for in this half
I'll be our need every single one they can count on
It's pushing B
It's good for a mother that do like to push out on defense, but they're just gonna be angry for now
I'm rejoining the park here as well. Just driving warp right there. We'll play as a way they are
What's going out the spawn? No command now gonna be
How did he live for so long wow?
Popping swing kill the army second gets it survives on 10h. Oh, man. Oh, it's on flame. They'll
Look at all the look at all men look at all men. He's thinking about no one's thinking
Oh, show me his chaos. This is Kiko. He could thrive. He could feast
I
Know what new yeah, no one knew about the home now only one more left to play for in the half a
Complete missing piece of the puzzle there from MIBR nobody thinking about it not at all
It's like they completely forgot that the Omenot had even gone off. I only made it know it's to the chaos
They must have just not even noted it nobody coming in. Yeah, he could get around behind for free kills
But it was a 9-3 half on split and energy still found a way to recover
Can I maybe our at least get to that?
You're not in difficulties for it.
you
I
Will champions and they're playing like it at this point on
Yeah, there's been a huge turnaround in this series
And it was energy recovering a three nine half on split that put us in this position to begin with
You just heard as we went in the break asked us to chuckle into the rest of his team and saying it's all right guys
We're we're incredible on the defense side of a base when they're down nine to three
The last two times in my BR have played a base against Furia and NRG. They only want three defensive rounds out of 24
So Monka. Yeah, they're gonna have to do a lot better than usual here. Tell me there's a chance
I'm telling you there's a very small
Here we go big dagger never mind broken
I'm begging you to stop us dude, holy fuck.
One for the history books major recovery in terms of his individual performance across this map
He is treating it like a playground
Tex
Nightmare spot for him. Yeah gets drilled by Brock first bullet straight to him
energy go up 10 to 3
They're looking different. Yeah, they're looking like they're in prime position to be able to force us to a map 5
That's not that sharp.
I said earlier on that one of these teams is playing out there in trophy lifting, masters winning form.
But it's very much going to take a few laps in.
Yeah.
NRG.
Hey, even the way ahead.
Sometimes my bugger out, dude.
One round at a time, one match at a time.
It's a four-spy from MBR.
And I realize what I have to do here.
Second.
Shredded by a couple of bullets.
We'll have to respect that one.
They do have plays in position.
position but it does not dealt with that's a satirator but it was a top
and he's revealed lit up matter
locks on lock in and this guy is not letting any storm be unturned
clears up the rest of the site now how much thunderbird up
can't even pressure and push back the plant in time
drop down to 30 hp six out of eight there's still one
could have been six out of seven
i'm down now and rg are in a 30 by the way
The guns just aren't good enough to do the job, not from this sort of range.
This round's over. I got this.
Side step, maids can sail overhead, G-Cut will be spammed down as a result of it,
but it goes both ways, and I see massive player advantage
and all the confidence in the war now to just take over this map.
Thank you.
Storming ahead essentially seals the fate of Abyss here.
MIBR forced into this round to make a desperate comeback
and now they're just going to be stuck on.
They force?
Oh, wow, people actually thought NRG was with MIBR. Don't clip this.
The Gino's having a sleeper.
He's on piwa soon.
And now G Sharon oil written resolve or here on a I might be ours a re-forced
No, no, no, no, no, no
Oh no.
What's up, bitch?
Oh no, he died! I think he died off that.
Oh my god, it was a perfect pie. He got a kill and he died.
We got a pie and a fucking jump off the cliff on the same round.
So many of these games to qualify for Santiago
Laugh it off dude, laugh it off
I've gone to life, this is our final team
The final spot for qualification
Oh fuck
That is tragic, he's got his head in the sand immediately, hasn't he?
At the end of the day, at least it wasn't in a close match
Where it made a big difference
They weren't gonna win the round
Everyone will get knocked down
It's about how quick you can get back up
Me personally? I must stay down for a while
But you guys you should try to get back on your feet as soon as possible because you will get not
There are some eggs this fucking aran
Oh my god
No one's holding that trope what he put he's going to be a second
There's calling an a rest the whole time. Yeah, you could do that. You could be an ideal and it might be our keep themselves going
12 for though
Would be an insane achievement. How are you laughing like the VTS? I think it's better to be laughing than tilted
You know
Right now M.I.B.R. are just like they're not
They're not mad cuz
They have this map 5 secured
But if they start losing that vibes, we ain't gonna be laughing no more
I'm trying to save it for activity, but I really don't know what's going to go both ways now up into the sky trying to avoid the ire of war
close
can point accuracy just the one time
tag two, or is that going to get tagged? I don't know
damage done though
is that going to burn out both of them, low as anything
when it was these slow paced rounds
that were getting it done for NRG on their attack side of split
drone on drone
generate early picks
and then just hardcore punish what MWL were going for to try to generate some kind of counter punch
But they love the salvo plate crack open both the doors to reggae attention. Yeah
34 here softens up the site so much. Actually what?
Need I supposed to be a hero here?
It's storm out really has been what I call here for my VR
This the way that I should have told my teammates were ass. I'm kidding. You can't do that
Nothing just go next. It's all good shit happens, bro. That's what I say
That's the signal everybody happens. We played poorly
Guys can't be pro everybody's damage down 45 HP
Oh my god, but you know, it can't catch a break
Oh big punish
12 seconds clean it up scuba one V2 eight seconds. You got a plan here
Here, but both players a load I'll go down to barely anything at all. Oh, did it reach?
Hold on hold on hold on
Fucking
What a response
They're going towards a haven which could seal their fate
I mean he obviously threw it on purpose
I
Can they want to waste any more energy on this fake comeback he knows the sooner they go haven the better it'll be
These games are for a chance at legacy in history
You from above is so hard me and my silver comrades have no problem shooting from above
of shooting in the back that's where it gets tricky that's why I'm stuck silver
and I can shoot people in the back I'd be gold I always flank them I just lift
all right not five we go what is it Haven yeah all right we're on break
here it is the last match of DCT
you
I know Kiko was the one to replace Sam, and I know for sure my name was brought up in
that conversation yeah it is very clear that whatever what number was on that
list she in that was a runner up clearly not affecting them here if anything on
the other side of the field though you have an MIBR Athena that's what you guys
think ejected and honestly for good reason they were just one great an
opportunity for you to six seven jump at it so they definitely need to lock in
for this one I think they came up with knowing that Abyss just isn't their strongest map.
They had a pretty good idea that NRG was gonna kind of steamroll and have a lot of these really
good trap plays and setups and going into it maybe they just let it happen or hoping
for better success on Haven.
What's brutal is this is another time where they've been that close.
You think of the first B05 they played this weekend.
They stomped that game on Breeze, go into a map 5, an opportunity to close out
there.
Here winning those first two maps they have another chance, but this has been a return to that
Someone on YouTube chat said half of the Immortals on my friends list are boosted by Q and their four golds. Yeah
Is fair. It's been excellent. He put a more focus on blast
But there's still some issues showing I think they struggled with dealing with a lot of the tendencies of energy
This is a team that flanks a ton on their defense when they're retaking and energy was getting away with
other one adding more value in those in those rounds, even though they've shown it a ton. Yeah, it's
It's very clear that for MIBR in this situation, the weight of the world is on their shoulders.
They were right there, right at the finish line, and now they are looking down and actually
being eliminated.
And you got the same team as me, unemployed, a freaking, one has to wonder, right?
Does MIBR have it in them to be able to take that like the thing they do?
It's going to be tough though, losing these two maps in a row.
Think about the weekend that they've had.
We are going into map five of this series the third BL five straight day
13 maps 13 officials played in just three days if you look back at the history of Valorant in the partnership era of tier 1 teams
There has never been a format where a team has had to play this might be a classic as fast plus 40
Especially not when they lost two of them and then after that wouldn't be a classic to be fair
But the endurance is crazy and the mentality towards it too is insane as a player coming back from a lot of these downfalls
Low lows that you're having and anyone's game now. It's a B01
Never know a baby did to get inspired benched that's a crazy way to put that
Google ever know what baby Jade did to get inspired
You have so many small 10
Yeah, I'll see that some bishop, bro.
You need to follow up on a lot of picks that they need to play for.
And I guess NRG, who's so solidified with a lot of their play style, it's gonna be pretty cool.
It really is, of course, so let's not forget.
One map here, Chad.
We had a reverse sheet, 2023.
C-Map.
Who goes to Santiago?
It does history repeat itself.
That's what we want to know about it.
Personally, I'm nervous.
We know all that.
Let's give out some free stuff!
Yeah!
We got it!
Throw the crap to the crowd and have a good time!
Let's do this baby!
Starting up in chess a little bit!
You don't want to miss it and this is why you come to the RIDE GAMES arena!
What about us at back at home? Hey GP!
And what about us chatterers back at home dude?
You got any fucking codes for us?
Maybe like a skin bundle or a fucking...
Alright.
It's all good. I don't even want nothing.
I
You haven't been a shirt boobs whoo the mooshers
X X X X X how oh no moves
No, man. I broke you. I broke you
Now I wear extra small
If I'm not lifting I wear extra small so it defines my muscles better. That's how to your shirt
the
Reverse
Lock-in twin map five. How have we ended up here?
It's unbelievable from the second half of split on with something has just
Blit it cracks they broke something about it. Yeah, I might be out word
Four rounds away from being able to make it to Santiago. That's all they needed on split was four rounds
So one of you two chat said what's your opinion on console Valorant?
I mean brother we gotta get you a PC that's my opinion we're gonna get you a PC pronto
I feel like if you're playing games on console it's gotta be like FIFA
Expectations maybe NBA 2k
One of the teams can make it only one team may be called Rudy you can't be playing our console. I don't know
This feels off about that, but maybe it's good. I don't know. I've only played it like once or twice
That will be a mouse customs
Controllers, so whether they can get that form going
You see the compositions, you know, it is a solo due list back here. No surprises
not particularly, but I would also say it's a top of anybody's map board. We are now down
in the dirt at the end of, well for MBR is the third best of five in three days. I mean
exhaustion is going to play a factor, prep is going to play a factor as well because I think
you are more likely to be prep for other maps than this final one. Kidding reserves need to be
accessed trying to shove off and prevent this reverse sweep from happening. These players
are experienced across the board on both sides of the stage. They've been in spots like this
before. Whether they've been one reverse sweeping or trying to push it back and prevent it from
happening, it's very true. They're gonna have to dig upon all of those memories and more when
you get this deep into a VESA 5, especially when you consider, like you said, the desk was
talking about it the fatigue it's got to be settling in at this point for MIBR
my thoughts can't help but go towards casino who's your attack side viper the
guy who's gonna be activating on a lot of those a lurks he has more to play
for here than anybody else Ethan's playing to have a chance at a trophy and
maybe be the winningest player of all time over taking chronicle right on the
other side you got like us bus play a trophy as well something that he's been
longing to get with a big roster, but everyone go all in. Everyone go all in playing as a
Chilean in front of the home crowd. He does. What do most retired pros do for work after?
I think an easy transition is to do something like related to a team, whether it's being a
coach, an analyst, becoming a commentator, or an analyst on the desk, or going the
streaming route is the other obvious one but yeah I don't know I think if you
don't go that route it's tricky that's why I think it's super important when
you're a pro player it's not guaranteed forever dude so you gotta make sure you're
building your brand as you compete so you have a fallback especially in
valorant dude you have like one bad split fuck you could be out of there
In fact, they flipped our expectation by being the stronger team at the start of the series
Yeah, most people thought energy we're gonna come in here kind of like the floor that did not happen
Until late on well here it is time has taken down a haven map 5
Battle of two juggernauts to the side who
Final slot at Santiago
energy with a reverse sweep. It's up to MIBR
I'm
Can I see the first five rounds first very standard pistol round set up here for energy three players over towards B normally
You'd be looking at them potentially reacting and pushing based off this pressure
Okay guns in my head as that turret breaks
But it's a wrong read isn't it because I might be our resetting after breaking the turret
I want to go NRG, but I feel like I've had a wrong a bad gut instinct lately
So I kind of want to do the opposite of what I think and go MIBR
So do with that what you want you're like
They will not go see here
What is what's happening with NRG
The steps and apparently I think they're gonna end up in the right position
Yeah, they are to follow the sound juice and here it is. They counted anyway paranoia forwards as a stud into the bus pass bus
Trying to lead this again, but these walls in your face make it difficult to try and chew through again
Here we go. Good morning
Hey, I'm dying!
Burno!
The pressure is getting to these players and you're starting to see it made manifest
We're going back. I found the gap. He's in through P. Oh, they don't know
can't find them they get themselves into somewhat winnable positions they literally were they
actually ran through the whole map like three times every single pistol in this series has
gone energy's way and mib are not gonna go for the force this time the seven out of
I know. Yeah. Energy momentum has never left energy. Second half a split on woods. That
was a shock. What? It's good. It's good time. He goes here and attempts to reclaim the weapon
is punished. Keep going out. He's alone and he's help here in a spot like this. Mazzino
is found. Slides the corners of playing. Oh, he took his gun. He took seconds.
Dude, that was seconds gun. Oh give it back man
Second 1v3 with a classic
That's where the volume up for you sure
Max is not good you had some legs I go 10% up for you
it
Wait, I'm gonna aim to get a bit of plant money here
Doesn't have a weapon to really play with just the classic
Wait a minute wait
But already put his on his trail
Yo, what the hell
I'm trying to juggle a weapon over but it's not really gonna work
Well, they keep a little bit of oh, yeah, they have a lot of time to diffuse
Yeah, they're delaying the diffuse for an enormous amount of time
They can go pick up the bulldog. Yeah, so they aren't gonna be able to reclaim a lot of big guns most expensive ones at least so an energy
Very good at my view are no house to win the first round. I fear not
Stay enough are you locked in oh they show
Oh
Jump scare
All right bonus right argue
That a lot of you saw me
Good Molly
Oh
Alone
They're doing that thing that is not okay
Am I beyond the only player that gets into the site is second the others a miles away way too far behind
I
Don't know what's happened
They might need that that's what we lock. Oh fuck
All
Completely shut down that hero rifle and drop it in a spot
Hey, dude your alarm box
Omens and spa and timing
one knife out. No. Anticipated in this good cross. That is a gun to be reclaimed. There's
another one. They need to clean this up quickly. Damn, you couldn't get the gun. Do you like
run by the gun on the first one? That's the right protocol. You won't jump in there.
But at the end of the day, I'm losing the weapon is probably more important. Don't
get away with it. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. They're no ordinary little quirks of
Every single map
Expect from a team of brook on it here. I go guys
Zeno guardian you need heroics
But again, you're gonna jump in neon on your face
The damage is done chip down a 3 HP verno
Fighting his time to strike, but it doesn't have the gun
The firepower just not there energy
They're steamrolling them and the early gambles from him. I gotta go not but you know I seen
We saw in the previous map while flying around 800 miles per hour
Here again they go for that here a buy
They try to get a rifle into us busses
We were saying us bus back to how we expect him to be able to play and
Across Abyss and here on haven to open
He's not been the guy that they need him to be if you put a hero rifle in his hand
You're hoping that he wins first pause at my VR for a start and Kiko had his number
It's gonna
Bulldog a light armor as well
He's willing to take any brother asked us to power up if they want a chance here
also one of the best performing players across the early maps essentially hampering his efforts
all of them are one for oh he has gone it's not burn all but yeah that's when he's been taking these
fights a real difference maker actually yeah he's eager to get to Santiago himself so you haven't
seen iso and pro playing years no we got iso uh jaw was playing it on uh corrode the other
other day but yeah it's not as common now
fun to see though
Apex playing phoenix
was just kind of awesome too
oh shit rock has an odin
another maps
that shows directly to NRG
careful
they seem to have lost a block
they do, yeah
fans are a bit skew of here but they're going to be
contending up behind using the viper walls a bit of cover
set up though
it's three here on A
you can expect skew would be tight
that's the forsaken
yeah
I saw his ace
the stats
forsaken might
drone for mid
Being like top three form in the world, right would you put Martin in that list too with that performance yet?
Martin forsaken
This funds
Oh Brock is here
Happens
Out of them a while ago to be honest what around from NRG though too that the paranoia is perfect from Ethan
Catching the short and long players for the a squad to play off
and think about the difference
bro don't go to sleep dude
we're almost at the end you're gonna go to sleep now
what if MIBR have the best comeback in the world
and you miss it
you're gonna watch the VOD and don't hit the same
they've got many players defending the A site
Viper Orb on the A site
kills for you to play off as well
you know that I know that
I've read and destroyed
those anchor positions in crossfire setups
that NRG and AWP
did I miss it bro? no bro
You're not sleeping, dude. Hold strong, man. 30 more minutes.
You're locking in, dude.
We're in this together.
For whatever reason, they left C completely to Kiko and just left it in his hands.
Slightly off-center.
Mada's down mid. Mada's down mid.
Mada is down mid.
Support of the rest of his team here.
Mada is down freaking middle.
Does anyone hear me?
very ready energy so good at cooking these little microchop plays soon as
matter gets a sniff well this is walk a team will be ready to respond but I might be
a lot slow going and they're gonna be fast on the a retake if that is where
I might be our end but here come all tax careful my boys you're walking into
an army at the moment as soon as that contact is caught there it is
He got away.
He's about a three, right?
Raka's here playing retake.
Oh, drone's on.
What are they going to be?
They can't eat him.
Blood! What?!
Oh my god, Mada is so good on Mion.
Mada is so good on Mion.
No prison cover me. I'm sticking it the fuse already onto half Tex guys and verno
Not much you can do from a spot like this. No, I've heard I was only gonna stinger saving
He's not even gonna want to save this full diffuse six rounds now in a row for energy the reality of this reverse sweep
You made manifest more and more of each passing round
And a complete crash down to earth from MIBR
What a fucking retake for Mada.
He's stung up two guys.
He's stung up both of them.
And then good Molly as well.
Chef's kiss brother.
Second time out here.
Second time out 6-0.
Second time out.
Burned already.
Oh brother.
third strike of kickoff we already saw in pacific rrq fall to the same fate and
fail to make santiago they got knocked down into a lower bracket but paperx
were waiting for them that's a nightmare for so is nrg
what a throw from two all it's the second reverse week
we were saying whoever lost between that mbr and fury a team could have a
serious task on them gentlemen just did it but today mbr came out with so
Now here we are
I watched the also argue in the basketball game now I'm waiting for Katie's birds sweet
Yeah, my note is on
We didn't really get is not actually a Twitter is the DM those weeks
Capitalizing taking advantage of it as fast couple of shots landing on to him
So we can tear the power in his face fast lane off the pause five minutes
He's in the shorts. Oh my god
I'm not even letting them get in. Oh my god
Richard Shays with a chance to really take advantage has already missed this wall in their face
This game's over
Yo, yo, I think a special bit
This is too hard one or two a five minutes back here, I think it's just gonna want to save the rifle
They're saving again. So would verna
Because the money is not good. You want the word 150 credits Texas got 400
The rest of the team was going for a save
So this round was a messy buy to begin with and now it's in the 2v5 that is essentially unwinnable
MMRRG
Do you have an ad during the save?
Yeah, wait here 40 seconds for these guys to sit here and do nothing
Man, spot sight, man
Look at MMRR's KDA
I see it
Yeah
Because while you could use it as I can extra time out
In all likelihood the MMRR players are going to want
How exhausting are BO5s
Silence so that they can hear anybody looking to punish their rifles
And so you just got to sit and stew
It's awesome for MIVR to play three days in a row of it, generally speaking, I mean it's
definitely a test, but I feel like, I feel like it's fun, I don't know, for me, I don't
know.
away
They will die
Also play mr. 16. Yeah, that is true
I don't know how many B. Oh five's I put in CS
online, I mean I know about on land
Yeah, you're right. I don't know
Well, I know there's one BL5 CS Summit. We had a map advantage.
We have 1-0 in this series and we lost.
I think that was the downfall of our team after that.
That is... tilting.
Vernal is making a solo play here.
That turret lineup
Rollers out into the open. This is individualistic. This is just
Yeah, they're falling apart
I feel like MIBR are crumbling before our eyes
NRG are putting on a walled class performance here on Haven
Absolutely destroying the super team from America's
Second not even able to get the Punisher onto Brock
The piece of damage done. So I said dang maybe I can go pro
I
Did you send yeah a
2v5
Same as the previous round, but now what's the point in saving you might as well do something I personally say if you're running my stats
These rounds are chalked from beginning to end. They are
And RG the defensive setups of somebody layers that are putting on top
Oh my god!
If you're deleting Aspas in one shot while he's neon sliding, you deserve to go to Santiago.
That is filthy.
What is this scam here?
He's scamming you while it's not a place that's hurt?
Oh my god.
Walk down mid! Walk down mid!
Brock knows the span for where he stands from.
Yeah, look, he's turning the midway down.
He did, he did.
Brock knows the span for where he stands from to turn.
Oh my god, he got scammed again.
He got scammed again!
You are not allowed to play the game!
Cut the cameras!
Dude!
He's been forced back to that spectator seat.
Malden.
That is Malden.
I haven't seen a soul.
Second.
They know about us here?
Are they going to drone this?
No drone?
No drone.
posted and all it takes is a half clearance and it leaves matters time and shines again returns it
it's a good trade of interest.
KGL for retake.
Honestly, the MIBR have been in for the majority of Haven.
They get themselves potentially into an A site here, and are you evacuating it currently?
They can always play the retake.
They will take it, yeah.
Merno's dead, so.
That was back side of the fucking table.
Yeah, that's sad times dude.
He's not getting to play two rounds in a row
You know as Viper's pitch you should go long and pit no
Yeah, I think he puts long a though
Yeah, he should have planted closer to long
Oh, they're both the team. They're both. We know they're mine is the only choice. You're my mom. No, no, no, it was not
Dad, she gave you no options
Give you no chance. Oh, wow. It's been done. They steal away your hope
Far too easy for an RG. They get up tonight. This is m. I'll be out with no answers. No ideas
and
How could you not feel for the Xena?
Terry, what's your prediction now?
What did I say when you first asked me?
I told you my gut instinct is NRG.
All the way from the upper bracket at NRG.
A manhunt living currently.
Boston Major is more fun to watch than this reverse sweep LOL.
We'll just be allowed to play the game to open up here.
Look at Brock on this line. He's going for the span through the door.
Across to A lobby.
Oh my god! Oh my god, he got him!
Yo!
Someone has died off barrier the past three rounds.
Oh my god, they're not clearing this. They are not clearing that corner.
Oh my god. Oh my god.
Oh my god
He's killed everybody through a wall
No one's seen anyone in this game
Even then he's gonna be shut down by the trade instantly yo
I would give it a 10 rounds. I think I might be arson just rush aside off the rip at this point
We can't fucking we can't we can't fucking leave this one for just rush
For this to be map 5
MIVR will have been coming out of the back of the bus and thinking right while we've got a
smaller rule.
MIVR should be able to surrender here.
Okay, should we allow teams to surrender from 10-0?
They have the option.
Like right now MIVR could just call out the FNDA men.
I think that'd be hilarious.
I think that'd be hilarious to give up.
It would be funny to add it
But like realistically who would ever use it
Anyone dies from now
I'll give them a chance to breathe
What that does end up with though is that my beer? I've got also they've never been able to even use
No armor, but not that it made a difference
No, what is happening right now?
Walking through that
Just all the years of our and yeah, it feels not just like a 13. Oh, but like a completely one-sided 30
sustain that's but this this guy says to shout a bullet in the last three rounds
bro i don't think mibyar shot a bullet in the last three rounds yeah and a switch flipped
oh god he's here with stanos run trying to get these tags off 45 seconds so mibyar
the death's reflating at this point grasping at straws with the stack of players nrg you've got
What a stun.
Oh!
Ethan?
Brock?
Hell.
Wait, where's the help player?
The help player died?
A glimpse of getting around on the board
It's shattered in the blink of an eye this is an energy
BM no
Even feeling it the value from broke is unbelievable the shock darts raining down on furno had no armor
Oh
He hit tax tax again
Yo, the ride does watching this I wonder what they're thinking. I wonder if the ride does are thinking like damn
I never thought I know what the reason like that
Is it break?
Respect this one. They're pushing long
Where's the KJ though
just in the site is more that the respect of much space given this is
not how mvr was winning earlier on we're winning with just aggression
I think you can figure out they both went short now but is he worried about
long you could have reposition seems like their spirits have just been
taken away start
Those other guys can break it up, but a kill and at least MIR get the one.
Wait.
My God is the damage done.
We can bring this back!
It's a pity round at this point.
Thrown out for NRG.
The half is utterly dominant.
And you're looking at the team in the lead who've been winning on pistols as well.
We've got all the momentum behind them.
Oh, but if you know us, MIR.
I'm gonna keep the spirits up somehow.
Gotta keep your heads in the game, but at this point it is NRG entirely.
Nobody dirtied us.
Nobody.
Dirtied one though.
That's okay.
Hello Tarek, MIBR here, looking to return to pro play.
So some fun lore about this account.
MIBR is overrated.
This account was created on 2019 in April.
And that, why did I just blank out?
I was trying to figure out the month.
2019 of April, I joined in July, though.
Actually, wait.
I joined in July.
This account wasn't created when I was on MIBR.
It was created way before.
Yeah, maybe that wasn't about me yeah, that's that's tough for my BRs overrated or for my
BR fuck
Nevermind, that did not cook.
I thought um, but I thought when we looked at it last time it was the same dates.
I think it was the same year, not the same dates.
Derek, can you stop the stream? I'm gonna have dinner.
Yeah, brother.
Let me know how long you need here.
Just let me know and we'll run it back when you're ready.
He's gotta be gone, right?
What the fuck is the proof thing on this go?
11-1?
If you're good, prove it now.
one if you're good proven now they are getting completely dominated energy it
is a victory parade right now for them
rooming with confidence in the shows in that play they're taking liberties taking
risks and everything is working they can do no wrong the damage offloaded
to kick out here for the pistol this has been energy domain so far in this
series. Yeah, they've been winning so many of these.
100 get to the MIBR win this, I'll match it.
Bernardo Sol, recipient of a lot of this aggression might be
coming his way here. He's just trying to hold down the A side
to look at him, looking left, looking right. He's got to clear
a short, a long, all of unknowns. There's no where these
players could be. He's just missed the timing and now with
the youths, there's no more chances. It's just going to
try and weather the storm against him back in, but that
is good that's boss delivers it the blows it ahead matters gonna be knocked out and down
but a cowber scuba lurking off to the side kills claimed in our G they got the guns and got the
weapons is there's a burn-out let him come tight to the corner as anger smoke is the only
rest bit he's got his team is in there ready to try and put up a bit of a moment and text okay
at least getting do not one be three times give up allowed to play the game for once in
in his mouth. Yeah. Scooper fakes like he's running away. He's been easily the most
clutch player in the game so far. Most clutch out of any of these guys that kick off but
this would be something completely different. 11 seconds though. No more time to work with
and the damage already done so. Lock in 20. Lock in 20. Yeah, the round of fist
two
No cause for jumping out of your seat. Just yet
It looks like an impossible task
Hold on hold on them. Hold on them. Never say never and our G have been up 11 before and lost
He started out out there he
But in that situation it was their opponent's putting the pressure of the reverse sweep on them and in map 5
They fairly easily dealt with it and that was what allowed them to lift the trophy at the end of last year
It's just all got to be absolutely perfect from here for M.I.B.R
What we see
My jail bring this back I go bald
One more timeouts, one more time for interjection, breathe in room, time to think, just gonna
drag it back one round at a time, but NRG look at them, I mean they're playing like
they're not, forms up, like they're time, danger of a team like NRG, they're gonna
play every single round to win, even if they're on an eco, now hungry for the
kill second, definitely trying to escape this one, the tanks, ass bars, out to
back they slept them straight back down the world and ground this energy was
getting away with a little bit too much I'm good a good beginning a clean hold
on them the pistol and a rare pistol why are they dragging this out what do
you mean dragging this out for a better time to be able to win it's really gonna
be 11 a in like five minutes then the game is really gonna start
Bro, like me!
Maybe I'll have players in position here, especially Aspas.
Deep smoke though is gonna be obfuscating the site, like you can see how difficult it is for him to get everything done with this scub weapon.
Brock is injured!
He's in his face potentially now, and that drone needs to be broken. Barely at that, it's a tag of the Mazzino.
He's gonna be forced out of the fight. The issue's there.
That's a huge kill!
That's fast 1v2.
Mod is jiggling.
Wait, why does he like low key no?
Mod is playing safe.
It's good.
I think it's planet for heaven. Yeah, it's kind of for everything. Oh, this is like impossible clutch
This plan is so hard to deal with
Sound cues at least clears up one but at this point time is running short and another tap
It's looking for the next signs of life at some point. Yes, we out
That's that's
You can truly make no mistakes, this is the 12 round for energy
One more is all it will take to complete
Damn, I feel bad for that guy that we kept up low key. Yeah, damn
This was not worse thing up for us on me energy
You've done such a good job. I'm gonna know this spot and the way that they
Escape this situation is ridiculous to yeah
Ethan down no smoke on the C connector, but they still get it with a nanoswap.
I think scuba's come as you know, it's like stuck in a 1v3.
The big one right there.
Mada's positioning makes it essentially impossible.
Matt's point, series point, Santiago point.
Oh my god.
He hit him.
Burn him.
Chopped down to 75.
Perhaps lucky to be alive.
A little bit of chip damage actually, I suppose it could have gone worse.
Yeah, I guess it could have, yeah.
Fuck.
All energy need is one round. They know it
Oh my god, thanks run. We'll be looking to make no mistakes. Oh my god bullets is
Just relentless. It's an onslaught
I was just brought trying to go for the terror. Oh, can't keep the fucking corner, dude
You don't want tech. I can't play anywhere. He would have his lock down online
And it would allow them to pull verna off the A site and play it much softer
Telling the rest of the team to stay stacked 140
I'll be kicking himself leaving confirmed. Thank you at the Allah
Thanks for the span back
Maneuvering by NRG
Leading over towards P. Well, they haven't broken the alarm bar
Lanes are pushed up even with the DTP in but that's the hot
Goal achieved NRG. Yeah, my second's left, but I wanted to pull out of it of that utility. I'll have any a control
Maybe I'm out
second verno
to stop for this order always be made in the world now it's obvious signs and this
is going to be leaning over towards a bodies inside to get what the fuck
trying to run away I have to push myself is there a second activating
bro I just want to do is to give me time to keep this team alive
on the best round that Ethan's ever called on the attack
but we've got such a buffer you got to imagine it doesn't matter too much
This is a boss?
Oh my god.
Yeah.
That's true, but...
Hmm.
Chad are we worried?
But at the same time, it's insurmountable, surely.
You'd think so.
All they need is one round.
We've seen how many scenarios where a team doesn't even have to be on a gun round, right?
Where they've got money to spend.
They push down to an eco, but they end up winning it anyway.
It often was times.
It often does go that way, doesn't it?
Well, the team that's mounting a comeback just takes a foot off the gas a little bit.
Thinking, alright, it's an anti-eco.
This one gets most dangerous, but I don't know, maybe around like this here, NRG.
We'll be taking risks.
Here we go.
Econ.
He's gonna be heard, mother.
He's done offloaded, and a shot here.
Aspas not scared to really just square up, try and posture and push back.
The approach, good reveal.
Dark tags onto Ephraim, but he's...
Aspas is leading up.
He's working his way in eventually.
Yeah, Aspas is leading up.
And he's got my verno.
A repeat of Aspas is there.
Kiko's just looking for anything he possibly can't in the elevation.
Maybe you can figure out what this defensive setup looks like from Tex.
Yeah, I'm covering information about the recon's UT, right?
Yeah, this time... hello? Is it turret down?
On a range maybe?
Oh, it did this hurt, I see him.
Shouldn't make too much difference.
No, I might be able to get a plan down.
This is where he'll get a one away from being able to get his security online.
I
Keep up a
Lot of sports you can play for that. He's he gets to plant down
energy
With more money can get built up for my beer and they get the alt
Yeah, well, there's enough seems to be taking the diffusion moment
But it should it should be going over towards Verna who can now get a hunter's fury
Yeah, and it will be and that will apply a lot of pressure to energy if they're looking to try to get a plant down
Yeah, the KD fouls are released
12-5
mistakes. KGO for Suba and
Valorant to stay alive. Has
completed that reverse sweep.
They changed his fence of
setup almost completely. Yeah.
Deep alarm went down into a
short but all the way over
towards B. Now, he typically
do a bit of poking and
probably but this looks like
a hard committal even to the
the back. Oh, Lamarie.
They're alive. They don't think
really. I believe he's unaccounted
for when a spot like this he
might be able to do some
serious work inside the pit.
This is ridiculous.
Is this how it ends around like this a scenario like this?
They know that energy have to go and get the spike, but they have no clue about a matter
No, that's just hoping the signs of life
Shows his presence the pit drops down and a lockdown now to give them that
Rooverno and takes
We're not all to do in a spot like this. How do you push this back world beat up form?
He can take the fight for the lockdown will force that respect into you
and he's turning themselves to 2v3 locked into the hole now to get back into the fight.
What is the call to be made to batter?
Good spam damage on the batter.
Yeah, whole load of bullets. He backs himself out and away.
He's playing the distance now.
NRG back it up rolling retreat. They know the plan's down and know the
wing cons within their grasp. Just a matter of execution at this point.
Deep drone. Turret trying to spot out where all of these players are on the extremities
a top swimmer that swing is
the impotence the turning point energy
reverse week reverse week oh my god oh my god he's saying bye bye
mono said bye bye is your reigning world champion
mono said bye bye a genuinely incredible comeback from nrg and
And they completely activated hit that will be to form and dominated the final two maps
Absolutely crushed MIBR and I choose moments carefully because they must be crushed on that side of the stage
Yeah, but the way that Masina was talking about the chances of being able to go and play in
His home country in front of friends and family that is a brutal brutal way to lose
three
Back to back to back best of fives
You were four rounds away from qualification on split
In a serious chance of lifting a master's trophy a long road ahead of course
Yeah, but this team has caught an incredible ceiling
And for Ethan who's already got two champs trophies under his belt a masters a master's trophy would look real pretty sat alongside it
But I'm in some very heavyweight conversations. Absolutely. What's been a question?
You do the best in the world of all time, greatest place.
Holy shit, M.I.B.R. again.
Here and out, dude.
Ludi B.O. Fuzz.
One hell of a challenge has offered up in front of them.
M.I.B.R. they came out swinging.
Vanado let's send it down to the stage for the horizon post-match.
The two will come back.
Yo, map three was the one, dude.
Wasn't map three like 13-10?
Wasn't there a crazy ass round on map three?
What is the crazy round?
Fucking bear tickets.
Oh, there's a couple.
There's not one round where they have like five seconds to plant.
I got a guy for a little bit there.
The team found their chance for him a little bit.
He brought the different roster coming in.
I don't know, that was a boss.
What were the talks and I gotta ask you, what was the moment
when you knew the comeback was real, that sweep was gonna happen?
I started believing I'll split when Scubas
called on the attack bonus round, what he wanted to do.
That's when I realized, like, okay, we're playing with some boss now again, so we're good.
Amazing, what was the talk to make everything happen
between that second and third man we were very confident coming into abyss we knew
we know it's a super strong map for us but it's a good map for them as well but
we just stick into protocols and believing in each other and in believing in
themselves to bonus and I start playing the way that we can you know what we can
play the game quit the music it's not me bruh luck go to Santiago congratulations
Ethan congrats on the win going back a few one losses are never great but I
wanted to ask you about the g2 game you feel like it almost became a
necessary evil for the squad to find some of the key points that allowed you to
focus forward on what energy needed to do. Yeah we needed a kick in the ass I
think we got that so I like how we played today. I'm very content with this.
Awesome great job. G. Allen and team across the board. Congratulations on the win and
best of luck. Scuba, my man. Amazing clutches across the board. Two clutches
bringing the catalyst back on. Every single guy after the win. It brings me back to thinking about the
share our clutch on breeze it's been the entire kickoff what makes you feel so
confident in that clutch I'm honestly my team is just do a good job they leave it
to me and that's always what I'd excel at yeah it's been a lovely time so far easy
safe for our hands right here congratulations best of luck good
bonus Santiago another moment of that one about it for energy talked about it
in an interview recently that you know the champs run was somewhere you guys
figured out how to really just dig deep and you do it here again what is
it about energy that kind of loves scrapping down there we just got ice in
our veins that's all it is like we're nice players when it comes to it and I
mean you see it again very sweet
the aces are unreal by the way congratulations best of luck in Santiago
Brock congrats another one always you guys win you're up there dangling the MVP
trophy it looks so good you guys avoid the champ's curse what is it what's it
take to do that what's it key take to kind of keep like even said kicking
yourself and get moving having these things that propel you forward and keep your mind
set on winning.
I think it's not getting complacent and keep staying motivated, like keep trying to win.
I think it's the main thing.
That's the hardest thing to do for most teams, so play it's the main thing.
Alright, three straight maps prove you guys got that in the bank.
Congratulations, best of luck in Santiago.
Kiko, Owen, you coming onto the team, it seems like you're doing so well.
And now you get to go and play against old teammates.
How you feeling about going to Santiago?
Nats, Kevin, we're going to be out there.
What are your thoughts?
Honestly, so excited to play them.
Hopefully, they'll have a match there.
But yeah, I mean, just excited to come play Liquid, to be honest.
Are you going to try to meet up with them when you're out there?
Yeah, definitely.
I think it's going to be a funny experience, yeah.
Awesome.
Well, congratulations on the win.
Awesome job for kickoff.
Let's hear it one more time for NRG.
They lock in their ticket to Santiago.
I think I might be able to play that was a BO5.
They probably thought it was a BO3.
Yeah, I guess you can say that.
I guess so. Fuck.
Here's the series stats to close it out.
Ladies and gentlemen, don't go anywhere.
We have the Santiago draw show coming up just after this.
Shit, son.
We got the lowdown of what's going on in Chile right here.
Yeah, I mean, Haven is the tournament format for VCT
Master Santiago fucking cuts two stages stand between these teams and the trophy the Swiss stage and the playoffs
28
Icebox
Have already secured their reward a direct ticket to the playoffs first place teams go straight to playoffs
The other two teams from each league they'll compete against each other for a chance to make it to the playoffs
We kick things off with the Swiss stage where eight teams enter and only four survive the rules are simple
But then grab two wins before you take two losses with every showdown played as a best of three
Make it down double in ticket to the next battle ground double in B03
Is the playoff stage the arena where the top-seated teams have been into a path of eight
It the tension skyrockets one loss drops into the lower bracket clinging to life to lose this job in the double elimination bracket ends on
the spot this is not so troublesome a limb where ambitions ignite icons emerge and every round
interest means close to greatness and don't forget it's not just about winning matches
It's about stacking championship points on the road to champions every victory matters every math counts every
We're back at a Sandals in we're in the switch stage
So we're gonna have to win to to make it to playoffs
Everyone and welcome to the Masters
This is big we are gonna be in our opening matches for the group stage
Sorted there will be two more draws during the event very important to remember
Okay, and another when we get to playoffs. That's when these guys right here
The number one seeds will be which what a list, huh? They will be joining the rest of the competition
So with that being said I will be assisting the main man the man with the plan give it up for Nick
Let's go Nick.
Alright Nick my man, let's go ahead and go over the rules real quickly. Alright, so all four number two seats are in pool A.
All the number three seats are going to be in pool B. We're going to draw the number two seats first and then
There are no regional matchups that are going to be allowed in round one. Very important.
I want to make sure I say that because I messed up rehearsal.
a reversal. Now if a regional matchup occurs in the first two number three seed draws the team
will be placed in the next eligible spot. If a regional matchup is still possible by the third
number three seed draw the teams will be placed in the only eligible matchup. Everyone got that
right? Totally not confusing. Yeah? Oh dude nailed it. Absolute brilliance. Okay so Nick
Let's go ahead and do this. I feel like I'm on a game show
So hit them with it. All right, let's get started. It really feels like a game show
Do a little punch might be too young for that, but that's fine. All right, here we go
And the first squad is gentleman's gentle mates, okay
So they will be going right here
And we're gonna go down this row now. So let's go ahead and hit the next one in pool a
He's aren't the matchups yet. Yeah, let's see all the teams first what we have sorted also important
Oh, too, that what you see here is not going to be the schedule that's played that is subject to change important thing to know
All right, let's go ahead and do this here T1
Pacific regions and the car goes wild. Oh
You hate to see your kids. All right, let's go. All right, great next one
we got g2 and she's not getting eliminated early that was bad luck right
there from the drop it team is three things gonna be all right also I should
play the numbers with you whoever you are so all right next one we know who it
is but we'll go ahead and do the business anyway it's XLG going in that
last match spot. All right, now the matchups. Well done. Well done. Now who's ready for the
juicy stuff? All right, let's go ahead and hit pull B and find out our first matchup
for a gentlemaze. Gentlemen, we're going to get, if it is Team Liquid, they will
move down and face off against T1. T1 is going to get, all right. What do we

That's a new matchup to look forward to that one. All right
Next up who's it gonna be you got energy or to energy?
Team Liquid.
Team Liquid!
Who's left?
PRX and NRG.
So, now here's a real interesting little thing about NRG.
So you can't get NRG here.
We're noticing right now.
We'll find out, but, uh, yeah.
It seems like we might have G2, NRG, rubber over Aggie.
Alright, let's go ahead and show this next one.
So now if it's NRG, it will go down here and they will face off.
That's really the only matchup that we have, so we'll go ahead and do the business, but
this is PRX here.
Holy crap folks.
You see Paper Rex?
That's a banger one.
Oh my god.
That's what's certainly not least are defending world champions NRG will be taken on ExoG
