you
More I like to let it go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa
He can make the world another perfect wonder
Where it's so wise
No
Why do we need a crowded pile
With no one to slide it in
There's no way to go
In between a girl and a girl, the broken one's gonna wear it so white as snow
Finding you the killer on my trust will make you feel it's low
I'll still be here, oh yeah
Yo, yo, what up chat?
That is, uh...
Hello!
Sup.
Sup, sup, sup, sup, sup, sup!
Good morning.
Good...
Freakin' morning.
Let it now boy. I see what you guys are talking about in the chat. Is it true? Is it real?
and Jonah up here screaming in the facility with sentinels. Oh my god. Oh my god. It can't
be. It just can't be. It just can't be. What do you mean corn acting? What am I acting?
you
I've been with the coach for a long time, and I've won Master's, so I know that he has a lot of skills, and I know that he has a lot of fun combinations, so I'm looking forward to what he will feel.
with autumn is coaching now right that's kind of nuts that it is so
interesting that the coach of T1 who won masters Bangkok with them is now
coaching the team on the opposite side it's such a weird move for autumn to
have gone over to all right let's take a look here where are we on this
This is an NRG slide brought to you by I'm not sure who it says I don't know how
to add text colon O but I am rooting for NRG parentheses there weren't any good
choices Mata is goaded way like cool we reverse sweep or W reverse sweep huh go
Valorant certified 30 year old Unk happy belated birthday hashtag
overpass and then it's a picture of Boston Major and me in a dress and then it says oh figured it out
and that was the slide. All right NRG slide again.
NRG at Master San Diego they reverse swept their way into San Diego like it's a cardio workout.
Why root for them? They qualified off a ridiculous verse sweep. Every round feels like a group project.
Chaotic at 2 a.m. Somehow a plus at 201 when they're hot the enemy's mini app becomes a horror movie
And our rooting for energy means you go be able to yell energy would zero context and 100% conviction clutch battery 99%
Brockwood and Odin isn't a buy it's a construction permit
The wall looks safe it isn't and our sees sometimes plays jazz valorant the Odin is the drum solo Ethan factor
This is a crazy analogy
Ethan still has that XCS aura, clean fundamentals, instant punishment, zero patients for bad
peaks, plays like the team's designated adult.
Watch for calm rounds plus guys stop showing.
I win this energy.
And what chat types?
Brockbyze, Odin, this round is sponsored by Home Depot.
Ethan Clutches, CS retirement home, still producing highlights.
Energy throws a round, they're just farming content.
One very nervous wall is that bonkar.
Okay. Do we see this one? I think we saw this one. A BB. A BB for BBL. I guess what you don't
like this one. Wait, I think we already saw the EDG ones. We already saw the EDG ones when they
played on day one. We'll wait for BBL. Do you have any any words now that you've beaten
Con Con. Is this elimination? Yes, I've been to the head. Excellent. Well, thank you so much for joining me and good luck in your matches.
I honestly this again. Hold on. Let's go back.
Are you ready for the test? Yeah, of course. All right, well, let's get to it. I believe we can start the game. So you're ready. Yeah, great.
any minute now
one
what what
look at his hand bro
it's surprising for sure
alright we'll do some quick little movie magic
get reset and then it's going to be chichu up so
cut
we're good
wow movie magic it's all reset
Anyway, it's time for cheats you stern. I think you have a little advantage because you have to watch Kong Kong go
But let's see if you can beat the score of two
That's crazy to hold them
Yeah, any any words that you've beaten Kong Kong
I think uh, I better than him
hahahaha
well thank you so much for joining me and good luck in your matches
thank you, thank you
hahahaha
this is good
oh man let me tell you Seth you killed that
they make me believe that they're going to be able to clean up enough of these
dude I mean Kangkang was spectacular too in map 1
and oh man if I can't get it done with this
yeah
I am worried
I think though that it
I've done it before honestly after the first time is probably like the weirdest
After you've done it like once or twice not it's pretty easy. I think
But yeah, you're right in the sense that most of the time when he was playing like the neon which he did do on map 2
He was supposed to drop more than reach
He just wasn't playing a character that is best suited for it
So he wasn't in as many spots to dominate and take over the game in map 2
Which I think he kind of did my walk
I just feel like when you're because you know coming from America's
I mean cover like a spas and players that are capable of being able to take over a game
But I think at this point here at this level of competition
You are gonna need just a little bit more out of this EDG team
You need more autos to help out Hong Kong right because yes
He's there for a reason. He's one of the best ever do it
But at some point man, the chance for it can only hold so you got you got to let let backpack go
Gucci bag
Yeah, so I'm like do you agree like someone's got to step up here, but who is that?
Cheech you I mean that's just be the obvious pick
But well in terms of you know history what we've seen for men, but I think real one is CB
Yeah, that's gonna walk in he had some good rounds
but there are other rounds
What is this guy doing? Where is he positioning himself?
Terry should not call off work to play ball all day
and then it felt like every time he got something accomplished
he was sliding in so often and getting killed because of that
I mean, I have concerns with that
Probably not, but if it's been a while, maybe you should
12.5%
How will you feel after playing ball all day? Will you feel good?
Here but actually there's some of this that comes down to maps and theory and like what you're bringing in
And I think one of the areas that EDG might be able to find an upset is by I don't think you would yeah
How will you feel if you want to work and that means probably better than playing battle all day?
I think Bind has a decent likelihood of happening in this series because T1 also love to play that map and EDG run a
Really really strange composition. Would you rather be tired or depressed?
Yeah, please going going into the Telstra it because that have you ever seen a team on blind right now running Phoenix with the harbour
So look at this comp. Oh, they're running fire and wasm foggy harbour before the big harbour buffs that we've just recently seen
Alongside a double-jewel is come that has the Phoenix. So what's the theory here on the attack side?
Well, as you can see, they're gonna use this new kind of whirlpool ability to block off showers
Most of us, this event is just two shoes further on the day we'll win, especially when the main strategy seems to be do nothing, hit the side, or move forward in that area, hit the side, getting formal after the strike myself.
There's a lot of post-off the rip, that's true.
We'll show it from the attackers perspective here in just a moment. Look at this. You're slicing off
Oh, I'm not the MN
It's so very difficult to go through this
I mean you could challenge it by trying to swim through here with a flash or something like that
But it does allow you to do more
Can we find a New York City command again?
Otherwise be able to do with other compositions
But I think the real power of it is something that EDG have figured out on their attack side is that Harbour's ultimate now is
is monstrously effective from B long so this air you know the new harbour ultimate it throws out
a big wall that pushes forwards and this is essentially going to cover the whole of the B site
you couldn't do anything against this if you're trying to hard anchor on B so you already see
though within china the tyloo the team that they're playing against here are running a B
retake wall they're just playing B for retake really unusual idea in terms of buying setups
Oh yeah, we saw a gentlemace through that wall, and it went crazy.
I'm in policing, so it's either play Valo IRL or in the video game.
Oh wow.
Yeah, Master King, it is.
What I like there.
But at least they've got some like cool theory ideas that could catch T1 of guard on attack.
But it's cheese.
That's the way you're getting it done, I think.
A little cheese, you know, might be okay, unless you're lactose intolerant.
But of course, so a lot of pressure on this squad and they were feeling that when
they faced up against the gentlemates, we did get an opportunity to catch up
with Chichu.
We spoke to him about the loss of the gentlemates in this hyper-extra.
Ten's coming back is nuts. Yonapy also got a fire under him as well.
Ten's actually coming back. There's reports of him practicing with Sentinels, so I guess it's a possibility.
He's confirmed though.
He could be filling in for fun?
Why was Zeno's waste time playing with Tenz for fun?
to win the trophy and I hope that after today's match, we can go further and win the championship.
He does well in the deep line
Yeah
No, okay, never mind. I guess that's a zero percent chance at sixty three twenty percent say one
And I'm assuming that one
So yeah, I mean what do you guys make of this?
Well, I think it shows you how much the CN squads are underdogs, right?
Yeah, and that means if they can land a big upset
I think it would be the first huge upset of Santiago actually
If EDG or XLG come away with a victory here today.
Alright, now before we get into the matchup, we need to figure out who's got the side selection.
So we have our 1D month skirmish today, it's going to be...
Whoa, Ezhu vs Jenny?
Whoa, help me out here!
How's that going?
What's going on? Who is this guy?
Alright, so when EDG won their world championship, they had a play called Simon on the team.
They decided to drop him.
They decided to drop him, I won't go into the drama around that fair.
But G&E was the first player that they pulled in to try to replace Simon.
Then that didn't work, so they went for HFMI, can't say the rest of his name.
And then that didn't work, so they went for CB.
I didn't think G&E was even still traveling with EDG.
I didn't realize he was still a sub that went to Masters events with them.
Maybe it's just a skirmish.
That's what I like.
A skirmish specialist.
The concept of flying out a substitute player to just dial in,
play skirmish in the practice room every single day,
You know in every side select. I actually don't think that idea considering the state
I guess we've seen it in the regions
You know we've seen the coaches play and I think like when you're talking regional battles
Maybe a little bit different but here every single advantage that you have in a Masters event matters
So I kind of got to go with the
Smart idea
Yeah, he's cooking it.
He's cooking it by the Squirtman Specialist.
I mean, he's pulling it back a little bit here,
but Jenny, the AWP is scandalous behavior.
The AWP is crazy.
That's no TVM, right?
What are we doing here?
All right.
Oh, what?
The Marshall?
I was rooting for Jenny.
Jenny was pissed.
Jenny had one job coming to the event.
Win the skirmish!
Well, we got our side, so let's go ahead and see what's going on with the map picks and bans. Take it away.
Yeah, we're starting map selection for EDG against T1. We already had skirmish, T1-1, so you start choosing to be teammate.
Oh.
Team A is of team A, Team B, Team B.
Team B starts vengament.
We've been corroded.
Been for EDG.
Let me guess, we're getting first map split,
and then second map pearl.
We've been picked for T1.
We've been picked by side on bind for EDG.
Defense.
Let me get a big for EDG.
Core, no way.
Let's go Abyss.
I'm not for Haven, see that.
They chose to start defense on Haven?
I'm curious how you're going to go around the map.
No, the map is less than 40 dG, you have Perl or Split.
Perl.
Perl, so the Sider is Split, Side on Split 41.
What the?
We pick DPS.
DPS, okay, that's it guys.
You won the skirmish, T1, yeah.
I'm not the one, okay.
Who you guys got here by the way, I thought c1 gotta be like
Illustrated the harbor play first of all, I think
Yeah, definitely
Because harbors just straight up up since the played it in that game you were yeah
Illustrator up now that being said I think t1's bind was looking phenomenal in their kickoff run
They just played a straight up medicamp. They have the yoru whaley
But they were dismantling all the competition the last team they went up against was paper X
It was a super one-sided game and easy Zoru was outrageous stop 29 for eight
Oh, I mean look you're gonna be needing some Herculean performances across the board here today because it's elimination day
Yeah, two teams are gonna stay alive and the crowd is ready to go
It's the first day of elimination
Kick this bad boy off is day four of Masters Santiago starts right now
here we go
Yeah, I am run out oh my god, I've never said ever
And here we go as you have a matchup between two teams who faced off against each other
of Mashers Bangkok two times and they traded wins but when it mattered most in the lower
Bracket final it was T1 who got the better of EDG 3 to 1 now
This is where the pressure lies Wyatt a master's winning core team versus the core of a team that won
Champions and one of them is going to be going home this early in the tournament who can bow
To God
really high it must be so surreal
on the other side of things that aspect is so cool to look at but we start off
on bind and I am so interested to see what that agent select looks like but I
would agree with you the T1 of the favorites here I think they're the
team that should be in the driver's seat during this game especially if we
end up on split that's about the EDG I think it's gonna be tough it's gonna be a lap hill battle a big
Make sense to say that even struggling one note on bind with this harbor
It feels like the usefulness of that comp will expire quick and the meta defining comp that is right
I think it's kind of our currently zero four on maps to win over
Consistency
It's only good for everyone if we have like I mean, I don't know how good all gamers is but we know at least one good Chinese team
Oh, I see ones current people are gonna really start down their region
Or did KDG bring enough unique ideas with the essential same core?
Easy fallout bad guys, he just kept falling on my execution mechanics.
It's felt like EG over peaked at every man advantage and died.
Every time they were numbers up, someone peaked and dies.
Like they don't have...
The risk is gone, yeah.
They overheat, like career overheat, I don't know.
Coach on the other side doesn't give you like a deep insight into your opponent. Yeah much as you might think
But it does
I don't know if they like get nervous and peek or
I think they know that Autumn likes to do
Is it like ego peek? I'm not sure
So they have to have that assumption and as we've been talking about them breaking down all this footage in gameplay
Surely T1's been doing the same thing seeing this Harbor play through and I mean we saw how Harbor was kind of
Fall flat yesterday on the defensive side we talked about it a lot
This is good by everybody
Obviously it's a very different style from team liquid, but look we didn't see T1 show adaptability in
Capable of showing that adaptability though. I was just an outlier
I find that it of I would assume honestly that it should be easier to do against
Me dude
One of the guys got a heat check going on
Sophie lifters globally in Valorant. That's rarefied air that he exists in and that first series is certainly not
Intuitive of the level that he showed now years or a check
Absolutely, no
I think as well when you look at the other side of stuff like EDG
We're talking about them being the underdogs and of course they have that legacy of winning. Is he still going out today?
I highly doubt it in 2024
Unless it deserves a bit more credit
That would be the biggest upset of the day think about the other teams who are around at that time, you know
I think EDG being the one that could happen, but she like being the most intrusive to know.
They're not here.
Heretics, for example.
Like these top teams of that year, they're all gone right now.
They are not attending Masters tournaments.
EDG have managed, domestically at least, to still keep their head just above water where they can make it to these events.
And if you can just get that.
That's the time you're streaming with Sandals, yeah, we saw that.
a few of these players and remembered what they were like a couple years back.
An EDG, they were headed into this tournament with some positive momentum.
Yes, they got knocked down to the lower lower bracket in their run.
But they went on a run in that four series wins in a row to get here.
And you have to feel like there was the potential for them to be peeking at the right time.
Just off that streak off the conference.
They're just here, lobby, they're self in a lobby on the center just for Twitter bait.
True.
We're still up a custom.
That would be good day in Azropion.
all the swag in the world but now it feels like they are lacking a little bit of that confidence.
Sure I think that's reasonable. I also do think though in terms of early days here at Santiago
T1 will be more disappointed about being a 0-1 team than EDG. I think because they've come in
with a decent seeding they would have expected to win that opener. Well I just got a little
spoiler which is the fact that EDG want to continue to lean into what works which is
Wow, picking up the AWP, playing the agents where that weapon is most useful.
Double burn viper.
The chamber has been his best agent this year and they've swapped up, obviously, fully away from that horrible good.
This gives them a chance, I think, in his mind.
I don't think I'd be personally.
I know, I absolutely agree with you.
I think that the solo-juice chamber comes in, you can see, in America's run by teams like G2 or 100thives.
They've actually been immaculate.
RRQ's been doing it in Pacific. It gives you such an ability to control the tempo of the game folks
The last time these teams met T1 and EDG home at Masters Bangkok will history repeat itself
Let's set it back over to your casters. Here's pansy and hypo. They'll work out while fasting or after
I've been going I went before but I haven't been going man
These teams performing to a degree that I think is less than their potential so far
They've got to show me something here to warrant moving forward. Yeah, I think more so for me
Hopefully we get a good match here. I'm so happy obviously because I'm worried that I might be a thong
See some changes cuz I get it was just
It wasn't here
No, you didn't do that
That's a better word
We're on house
We've gone past agent select as production told us we are now live into the game on the defending side EDGT1 on the attack
Smoke deep short.
4-1 towards V.
Skydog.
Dive into the Burmese mode topside. That's kinda nice.
Oh. Oh.
by now the plan
Down look at you on this one you meant to find that next layer in it would be really hard to take away all of these crossfires
That can be put in there's a flank hookah as well
This is impossible
This is a bit impossible.
I think someone ran out the elbow smoke and then the side guys just died right?
Somebody to overpeak on site
Did you rent through with his wall and then the back side guy got scan
And to be fair, I don't think T1 the first team that comes to mind for it
Yeah, exactly, so I think it's gonna be interesting to see that as well
I do want to touch bases go throughout this it was a key issue with EDG primarily the amount of times that
Thank you so much. I would slip away from all right equal for EDG
Chamber player disadvantage or a head answer for Kong Kong
I want to see that mentality. Oh my god, it's Orbus. Oh wow
Don't look like a small nook up there
Thank you
Take back to our showers, but let's look away only classics on the way back in here for EDG3 left-standard
He's eating up.
Aww, Saksa no no. No eco aces bro, no eco aces.
on that. So it's great for
Buzz. I mean it's not for sure, right?
Feeling in the game.
One easy.
Alright, bonus here.
Nasty.
That's such a unnecessary kill.
No one's fault, nothing.
No.
Just for the love of the game.
That is wild.
Okay, so buy in place, 3DG,
I don't see anything. One guy on the other side where they joined it on him. Yeah, fellow aura, dude. That one guy just sort of a chance.
What's happening in the chat?
Clearing through.
Flush along would have caught here, so he's not have confirmation with him. Now we're going back. Three second flash will indeed confirm presence.
Yeah, I was gonna say still just do here, but now Jan's rotating over
Okay, you are lucky the cheats you is on the case
Nobody in the corner looking back as to what was coming the molly crosses him out big Molly 33
Hold on. It's a 3d3. This is a bonus for T1. This was not meant to be the big threatening round
But Cheech you the hero of the hour goes down
Media was struggling that first match
massively
series
Me there's usually very good
Effectively yeah on the way in here CB slide over step into the snake bite. It's makes him a
basically a 3B
You think you might get smurfed here? I'm not gonna lie, bro.
They might be back on their babes, dude. No joke, Chad.
They might be back on their shit.
Off the control?
Oh
Yeah
Try to dollar it's cleaned up rather
They lost gets it back in hand now the spike
Nobody's still on the bucky back to be a chance here the reset when do edg rotate it up great. So if I rotate now brim now
Confirm the rotation all bring ready here. I'm to find this plan. That's gonna be the issue for edg
Munch cream is willing to go on this because it's run all the way about the dog
I've heard that potentially, but they don't know if maybe
maybe
had already started that rotation
it's not the case
yeah
they are
behind
does both peak elbow just one
right there's the upgrades
he's low
does he peak this
this is gonna be brutal
maybe off hookah contacts
yeah he's picking off brim
Oh, not quite really old you're both of them. Oh God
The nation games yeah
Close
I'm gonna be happy with it. They can keep this kind of clean approach lovely
The hinder will get nerf soon. I think there's not that crazy. It's crazier that you can throw it midair
He's trying. Yeah, I mean the hinder is good. It's crazy how fast you can throw it. It's crazy
I guess mainly how fast you can throw it
I feel like if it came out a little later, it would be fine
Same setup once more
standard approach towards this B site holding
What should be changed for Wei Lei? What would be a good Wei Lei nerf chat?
Oh, he's in the smoke this time. Cb's lost up ahead.
To catch all the push-up denied bars the ability to springboard in break that front line for it
So you have held up the first wave. Yeah, great living on the fly here. Just a duck inside that smoke
By that initial burst towards sites. You want him back away though. Oh my god. There's so many ideas
Additional rotations coming up if you're happy with the three here team flash
My god
Okay
Double beats, but it felt like there's a chance
Doesn't look pretty nervous if this is what I'm seeing now, but there's still a chance there's concoct smoggy
They want this one back stacks with stacks 1v2
Maybe the one of you gets a chance to use it
This angle looks nice, but let's see. Let's plan it on the right
How would I read this plant note?
Oh my God. Oh my God. I'm connecting.
Just gonna play this game. Can you get on for free? That's the question. Yeah, he can.
The second one is Kong Kong. Surely not again.
Big say. I'm finally on the board. I needed that.
I needed that.
CT here.
Maybe somebody's already up close and personal
Your money's really bad though for EDG really necessary here got the round with a
What oh, I mean he's got a one spot. I don't like I just
Need to warm up
Otherwise you want my just like run through them right here
White
Don't be Cougar
They got him
Can't get out of there
Oh my god the scan
Meteor on the punish now nobody looking vulnerable. Look out far away the other
On top of the hill
He just wants a backpedal. No, he's sticking around.
I don't know what he was hoping for there, but that probably wasn't it.
Four players to the two, and the site is very much in line.
What's the operator in hand for Kanko?
Two big investment to risk here when they're already up against it in terms of the finances.
T1 put up the camera, Steve.
I'll beat Meteor's exploring towards CT now.
T2 tagged up, I mean, down to 89.
Plenty of time left to find these kills Lauren.
Yeah, they're going for two.
The teacher will hold it at least for now,
but you're looking at Buzz here.
And there is a slower boat from Luntkin.
I don't know if that's going to come in either,
but let's see.
Buzz.
Ooh!
All right.
Not going on a show, but doesn't change
around outcome.
I don't know if Luntkin gets LOS
in what's up.
Alright, so it looks like he keeps the operator down.
I just thought I was making real sure on that, but 5 to 1, I also just feel like EDG on getting
the information they want early.
I don't know how they want to go about finding that.
Again, and just looking at the timing of the rotations, they've been behind the curve
a little bit, and then with nobody kind of overstaying is welcome.
Yeah, it sends out a blast to maybe allow him time to back.
Allow him time to back all the way into CT because Gigi's already there. There's no reason for an extra body to follow here.
You can see how quickly at that point it's just, yeah we're gonna save. We have to save.
Yeah, and again, I want to see how they probably...
Count as much more MD today?
Yeah, I think it's been slower on the weekdays.
But, I mean, I don't know. What time is it in Chile?
In the end, but that's not reliable enough. I think I want to see them try and be a little bit more fluid with those rotations here.
So, just come in.
I mean, yeah, that's tough.
With the coin base.
Maybe more people will show up for the second match if they were to show up after school or work
Which I don't doubt
How many people are in there it is pretty loud
Maybe not here in the bi-round. There's probably like what it needs to be something 500 people in there, but it sounds like
more
500 is that an overshot? I don't know
I'll say 500
I think I believe Munchkin, I was just a media on that trade and I'm forced to then see these
core transitioning back out hooker.
So yeah, for me, certainly the response I might have seen here was an easy pause I
guess.
They're abusing this song.
Yeah, to make use of some of these ultimates in the next few rounds at least.
That's a tough start.
It's off seed on Kong Kong I guess.
Yeah. Everyone else has a pistol. Oh, mouse jump.
Yorua ult's out of hookah, classic. They're following him out of hookah, though.
Nah, it looks impossible for EDG. I'm not gonna lie. Looks impossible, dude.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Oh, we got out. Save the heart brother.
Ooh, wait a minute. Almost like. Almost like.
come back towards long yeah I'm gonna catch nobody and this way they kind of
you know the fun stops right this is where they start really tightening up
that post-blog
another wow what's this CP though change the outcome but it certainly looks
pretty tea one again they found a person was like Kong Kong's like I'm
I'm secure in my spot. I mean, he's about secure, I'm not going to lie, brother.
Huge, huge tool in terms of site executions here, especially with EDG hanging around to contest these site hits.
Crossplay is coming to Valorant.
Brother, if there's someone on my team playing on a PlayStation, then I know my time has come.
And then is that the time that T1 decided to flip it up and change things around?
If someone on my team is playing on their PlayStation, I know my time is due.
dude these three players are not holding these three sides and you gotta find something faster
you're selling six to one and look we know he's he's he's a gift of play he's got four kills but
it didn't change what the rounds gonna look like and once again we're seeing similar scenes
yeah let's hit the side come come on again he's gonna be able to wait a little last year
but we won't necessarily tell them anything different about any other round they have four
holes on adg full buy i prefer this but then i want to see what the layers are from t1 right
This means that okay B is not free and a they're going a which is let's see how the rest of the map feels
We're getting past Hong Kong potentially because we haven't seen anything else
And I like the rotation. This is better for me DG. They've gone proactive on the extra and he down be long freed up
Nobody has got seekers
Oh smoggy incredibly useful of three to split towards the A site
Smoggy's gotta be careful
Fairly committed position. I
Don't know he's gonna get popped on bro
like the TP as well.
Flash.
Here you go.
Come on, then face it forward.
TP's back.
It's like he's caught, bro.
He's caught as well.
I'll put a shot in time.
And I'll come.
Bro, what is happening here?
This is masterful.
The setup is terrible.
The setup is looking bugs.
Come on, Paul.
I'm seeing.
Initially, I put it to each of them.
If you want a setup that's so bad,
or not, there's an EVG, right?
They are looking like they are on point today, Mike.
They just walk up to the trip and pop in them.
I'm expecting some of this investment to come.
They're in positions that flash,
but the setup is bad, though.
It's like so tough because you can walk up to the trip and then just catch him
There's no reason to play that close with remotes. I feel like you should play triple with his Molly when they shoot the trippy Molly's right away
Like why is he on the shower wall but I don't know
That's what I would say because I believe he's Molly's instead then he'll split up the first guy from the team
Because even the alt will take like too long and you also you don't have to use the alt
But they have been largely in control for this hindsight no since that point I don't think it's hindsight because
I mean that that was the spot he chose you could have been anywhere he wanted
I
Just look at some of these kills
There I say that seemingly
They're gonna be like a stomp on a serious
Yeah
they might have a good idea of that prowl there, absolutely.
Pop flash on it, they're gonna go, I think I'm gonna score until you run.
They are sharp, they know exactly what to you on what,
excuse me, what EDG would like to do.
None of it's working for EDG.
Flank considered potentially by Stax as well.
Yeah, simple stuff for these boys.
This is their bread and butter.
Nobody in Smoggy.
Have fun, I guess.
I'm really curious to see how good all gamers are now hopefully they're good
8-1 score line here
Is all gamers like mountains up here ahead of the rest of the rest of the teams are not really this sort of pace time and time again
No
Two rounds ago. We're looking at basically I feel like you are as good as the other teams mechanically, but the second
They're the fundamentals
Missing a little bit. I guess we could then discuss a little bit of the comfort in this
position, but when your coaches look like that, I'm not.
Well, I think it's easier.
I was happy to see the change, but whether or not
this is just kind of a near-term reaction.
They qualify 3-2 where she lie.
Yeah, China might be cooked for this event, dude.
In terms of some of the win conditions,
in terms of getting CB into a position,
at least on the defense here to play it,
principally, at least trim the fat a little bit.
I mean, at this point, how go for a trade?
Just get a kill on somebody.
Ahead of sponging a site here.
Yeah, before Buzz is on site, try and get a kill.
But it's easy for us to say that obviously it's easy in this position when we get to see everything.
There's not much stopping T1 when they're playing like this.
No, exactly. We've seen the strength of these boys.
But the issue being they're going to sit back and watch this half just pass them by.
That's the devastating part, right? We were talking about redemption and that resilience.
EDG are a world-class team. They are not doing that now. That's the difference.
issue being as well when we saw previously on Hayden from EDG, again they just looked kind of lost
France's right, their go-to wasn't working. And then where's the adaptation? You get it, you get it.
Alright, A1 second pause. Talk about it not being kind of something you can repeat over
and over again. It's a full buy here. As much as you'd like to say otherwise.
Look and that's the the issue we're solving. I guess series and teams we're seeing now is
the brutality of unactualized potential as you said this might be EDG watching
this half past them by that I see the 10 scrimmage sandals team league yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah that could be the solution that EDG wanted to go to
that makes it harder for EDG right now gonna be behind the car many times and
don't appear by go crazy solve they could come up with see one now finally
expecting the aggression up down good catch to start
yeah that's good you got a man advantage we don't need to do anymore right we can we can
chill now I don't want to see this I don't want to see this I really don't want to see that
why did they push why why did they give a push
you have the advantage you had two players off okay they can deny the plan at least for
45 seconds. Munchkin's got his own. He's still got a molly. He's still got two smokes.
And he does have stacks by his side as well. Oh, dear. Stax is on it.
Oh, my God.
EVG freaking their own parts. Man, they have that one in the bag.
T1 drift into the sidelines.
It was 5v3 and then triple push Tuka.
I understand it happened in the same second, but I don't know.
You're not meant to catch them walking like that's not meant to.
5v3 this is like CB's court here just he's not even ready for this engagement as they're about to
walk out he's setting up to be the one to slide into the open maybe they already bought the tickets
for the return home when they're trying to catch their flight maybe that that will kind of shatter
the mental yeah he just now yes they gotta be demoralized as hell high caliber team tons
of experience but rounds like that where you feel right we're off we're off the
starting block and it just gets ripped away from you
recover anything a buffer right give me give me enough you can make it to a
pistol round on the second half Hong Kong has a rifle but
so they're going best smorgie deeper i ain't gonna lie i lost both of these
you didn't allow Hong Kong to come into effect yeah i'm playing with the
rifle here but it's going to be the full force obviously.
It's going to be able to reveal absolutely everything that's going on here.
It's so simple.
Oh god.
This is just systematic domination.
It looks so easy.
It's actually Fs.
Oh god.
G1 are in form, Mike.
It is just lovely to see.
They're just so efficient with this composition in terms of EZU and BUZ.
They're smurfing, they're smurfing them.
PooDiBan is going to put up a better fight, damn.
Yeah, yeah, lights out right now
Guys you have to push us right you got to take space somewhere
You can't keep playing on this kind of like passive line just gambling
Way out of that but gonna note that there's a push down to a sure
Shower. Shower. Shower. Shower.
Help Shores. Help Shores.
We've got a little bit of info. Let's see how T1 want to react.
Right? Where do they want to input their attention to us?
Right now for rifles now. Snacks and munchkins.
Damn. Trouble off. Damn. Trouble off. I didn't see it. Damn.
Wait a minute. She's gone searching.
That could be an issue depending on timing here.
So this execute is nuts. This execute is nuts. This execute is nuts.
They have brimolds in a U-Haul, away legs hop trucks, and there's away legs!
Ooh, 44 and there's a flank.
you
attack so yeah first half is anything to go by this map could have been an email
be a flash in the pan here issue being yo Derek to find the dual channel your
discord isn't working I posted but didn't get any DMs could be a discord issue
probably a discord issue brah if I'm looking at god if I'm truly coping a
fast gloss is better than a long one it makes get a player feeling
Oh, yeah.
They're on line.
Actually, you didn't have a bad form, necessarily, but it wasn't just an individual problem.
And T1 can take, really, chances.
They can take an aggressive start and then hunt down Kong Kong.
Oh, man.
Which is a deadly sentence to say, but when you're hitting shots like Buzz has been,
I don't blame you for going for it.
You need a G already.
Do a Gp?
I don't know.
Don't look at me.
Can you heal me though?
No, we're going the right way up long, but again, see me to your already position
towards heaven in anticipation.
Now they know the lurk zone.
Yep, I'm the lurk zone.
Like 1-3-TB, he knows the lurk is probably in.
Oh, a chance.
Oh, god.
My view skills are 2 at this point.
Oh, god.
I'm going to be here. Catch T1 off guard, but the contingency in the form of meteor, even
here, they get the sound cue confirmation of Kankang and T1 is happy to go forwards. Set
peace with the flash of Izu. Wow. It's nice. Simple as you like. Can't even buy it. Stingers,
I might force it.
What do you think?
Big work for the analyst right now.
Okay, Munchkin's got a...
Alright, match point.
And he's got no fear at all. CD was doing great.
That's messed up. Munchkin has messed up.
That's the good DM. That was the good DM.
That was the good DM. I'll see it.
Munchkin just pumping damage.
And he's astray.
Oh my god, son of a girl.
Yo!
They probably lost all confidence they had after that map, no joke.
If they had any confidence, it's gone.
you
This seems pretty good.
This one's good.
That's some good shit. I can't lie.
Robin Jonah P. Cook that one up together
I think G2 will eventually win an international right and that's easy how it goes you keep making deep runs eventually you crack through
I
See models double a's yesterday, I did see a brow
I've seen it. I've seen it all, man.
Why are those guys amazing?
They're late in the half when they just started
a speed rolling over that A side.
So they just are so good on by, man.
Yeah, they are good on by.
I mean, we're looking forward to to Haven
and maybe the Kung Kung operator
having much more value over there.
But I'm just I'm just looking at the way
that they navigated the Kung Kung up
in this attack half thinking they're just going to do.
I didn't see that reference. Is that on now?
They put Chamber on Haven as well, I believe, yeah.
for buying they changed off the harbors yeah presumably just had less time to add some density to
their strap book as far as how they're setting up that defense so they should be better on haze
speaking of that strap book though let's actually send it over to jen lee she's getting an opportunity
with autumn to hear his thoughts ahead of map two jen with autumn of edg
now i see autumn i say will autumn bring silvan uh you put kong kong on the chamber giving
it a little bit of a change of competition. It seems like the general people here in Master
San Diego are heading into Haven where you do run the chamber as well. What are some adjustments
that you can make so that you get more value out of Kong Kong and his operator?
Well when it comes to getting the most value out of the chamber especially on bind what happened is that you really need other players that are holding the other lines where chamber isn't or chamber is absent at they really need to be aggressive and really should head but that didn't really happen on bind but when it comes to hate them.
They were aggressive, they died.
We're prepared to work as a team to make the struts work around the chambers, so I think we can put up a better performance.
ConCon has one side of the map, the rest of the team has to hold the other side of the map and they couldn't do it.
ConCon and friends.
They put up a better performance on Haven. At the moment though, they're tied in terms of at least rounds one at a global event with MIBR in Toronto.
So that would only happen if they got 13-0, obviously they would tie with 19, but you know, you haven't had a great experience out here yet.
Buzz trolling a little bit with the veto hover for a second, and then...
Oh no, I will be playing the neon actually, but this is all about getting Kangkang in better positions.
And honestly, I feel sad saying that because they should have way more win conditions, a team like EDG.
And yet the only one that we've seen this tournament at all is Kangkang has to play like a literal god descended onto Earth.
I'm going to make CB on this map to brain it in, man, because he had those moments on
fine where he's trying to make too much.
That was 0, the nation match.
And we saw that on Haven the other day.
This has to be his best map of this tournament so far, or else EDG will be going home early.
EDG needs to dig deep, but T1 just needs to stay the course.
Let's send it over to your casters, Panty and Hypoch, for the call.
feels in Santiago there is nowhere to hide if there are issues they are seen if
you have weaknesses they are exploited and EDG just got basically what could have
been an email on map one basically it's just completely absent from that first
map the issue being a while I say the positive right EDG are starting on the
attack let's see if you can research basically adopting approach they
have to what they struggled massively versus gentemates was the downtime
Coming up with some sort of decision in the mid-round
Is that emo?
I-I-I built it over it
They were just lacking ideas
Very concerned for the defensive half here, but I guess I'm sorry T1 if they don't feed into that don't allow EDD to
Oh God
Build any sort of snowball
Alongside CB and can't can't
Maybe there's still hope
There's a big difference in players at this caliber
What an orb
When met with a brutal beginning you can pick yourself back. Oh
Hold on
Picking up where he left off to chew the future really
numbers up
Oh munchkin
You can't cheat you. I guess he's gonna try and do what he can if it's on his shoulder so be it
But a 3v2 munchkin
Get to right CV stuck around. It's all on stacks now. You should have this
Well 22 HP they should have this you're right. They do have it
There we go
Why does it feel like every round is loseable for EDG like advantages don't exist
Yeah, it's a bad fight.
Got him, got him, Coach.
The response comes from G1.
I mean, Gigi does really well to fight.
I mean, buddy.
Yeah, two more in garage.
Yoni were witnessing the downfall of our beloved region
of China.
They're getting to win a map, and they're getting
a freaking silence.
A sigh of relief here.
Pist around.
Look.
Yes.
On the point.
I want Indigee to do well.
I'll finally get some guns.
I do.
Surely, they get the second.
Show us something.
Where's the stack towards A-long?
What a knockdown holy shit holy shit
My god
as meteor was the one who wasn't with that four play pack of players and by all
rights this should be safe
skopin hand yesterday five HP but there's no way
it's your get salad right
it's two to find
everything's fine that's all you need every single player to get three kills
it's good
I don't even hear T1.
They're not guys.
They're trying to be a little bit naughty with it.
Yeah.
That's like a really big risk.
Get really active.
Do you know that?
They saw 4A and.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Instead of reacting to like V or something.
They go drone short and get jumps.
Recovery mode once more.
I don't know.
Fire him up though.
Kong Kong.
He's not going to let this one slip without at least trying.
Let's see if there's more in the tank.
right this is where it gets a little bit sketchy a big reinvestment here for EDG
I was on the hunt
I'm stuck up here deep on A long
so we'll enable some of the roads
Who's out here for EDG right now, the Shishu?
I'm just gonna confirm here with the drone down through Sewers as well
A clear with the drone?
It's still sponge for hit is the next part but they've done really nicely at getting some extremity information
I don't know if he saw Almond
The drone is not spotting
No, it did not. But they're not going to be lucky enough.
Oh, there might be a little bit of a quick movement.
They don't have to talk.
It's over.
They didn't check the corner.
How they don't look left.
How does it only look right?
How is that even possible?
He stepped in the right direction.
That has to be a big drone.
How is there any universe where the drone doesn't look left?
11 HP here, but still controlling the space elsewhere.
Even after the guy on the left got a kill, nobody still didn't believe he's on the left.
He ran out after his teammate died from the left and still ignored it.
That's crazy.
The left side of the site doesn't exist in his mind.
Guys we're not behind and even if we're all watching the same stream we're gonna
be okay as she choose options become zero yeah and he is being hunted down
security seat buzz still gonna be some money for the buy here if she can hold
onto this rifle or is a bite closer you just heard it can you hold on to this
it's a lot done well there and I think he should be safe for now he has a
glow here's the glow that's one and again as a mistake with the algorithm
basically they're looking to pop with this start because they're confident
that close has been oh my god it's so close wait I didn't I didn't like the
way it's a water ceiling that's why they pop off this recon towards backside I
didn't see what it did absolute confidence and utility but very small
mess it's a disaster all right here we go full buys you're well nice remember
Really?
EDG's bonus.
That has to be a trailer, okay.
Big trades.
2v2.
They can't come to close us out, no joke.
He wants come barreling back. Oh god. They're gonna walk into the stack. Oh
God, I thought they do scare to breathe their shit. Oh
They're going back wait. No, they're not they're going long
On the bright side though, they've waited long enough that vipers alone
She is playing a retake angle from heaven and there's no smoke
So I fear he may get a freebie
Depending on the timing of the peak
to drop on him. Oh, it's a great shot. 1v1. He's low.
He's recovered a little bit of that HP down to 39.
Oh, I'm going to utilize it and he looks for the fight spots him out.
This has to be clean.
And it's not me tears there.
Timing sucks.
Nice stuff from T1 again.
Taking risks.
Can't even cross.
Take the names.
Beautiful crunch.
Immediately.
Even there with the paranoia, you're just so worried.
Easy's not going to find anything off that.
Yes, it sets the rest of the play in from long.
Yeah.
He's got so well to adjust it.
What a dart.
You see what he sees here?
It's the ping on the recon.
The adjustment is beautiful.
Of course, the numbers is favoring T1 in this situation.
One and a one.
I'm in front of the great cats, but that is what he does.
I knew your first kill as well.
It's a really, really tough one we want to see.
Crew?
Crew, are you still?
We see it.
That's two big rounds.
They're going quite close as well.
Well that's quite hard for EDG2 to play.
Yeah, I mean, fine, back into this map for sure.
Yeah.
So the force will be popped here by Kung Kung,
which we'll probably send T1 a little further back
to a passive hold.
Ultima's coming online here.
Both sides got a Hunter's Fury for stacks and the TP
for Izu.
To apply a little bit of pressure here towards mid.
She's gonna be caught now. There's also a fancy Smoggy better on the stand.
Got him. That's lovely. That's a big pick there.
Throwing up the rods.
That's where Garage is trying meticulous.
Let's get Info and Munchkin. Don't quite know about Buzz yet.
That operator is in play.
You have to rattle off a shot. So if they try and scale through Garage with some commitment,
it could end in tears.
It's all just because there's so many problems with the components.
Key angles in Garage again creates a question mark for EDG to play behind.
I
Was that once this
That's really nice that does allow for the rotation from meteor to come in as well
So you've got the least two boys
Oh
There's no way expecting that angle
This round's over.
Oh!
Oh, brother!
I don't want to be here, but
full confidence. and it's just
totally lacking on the other
end of it. It's not giving. It's
just not giving. It's it. Maybe
just reading that it is just
one player towards A but
somewhere. It's all the dice.
As soon as you see the nano
pop there.
overkill with the hubsad
oooooh
Oh, it's so sick from munchkin
Pops the pin goes to watch immediately
They play right into his hand the misdirection from the pit
Perfect immediately perfect so good from him just understanding the opponent's wants
Who knows a desperate right? Yeah?
Careful bro.
Who's IGL for EDG? I didn't see what Chad said.
Nobody?
They ain't gonna lie, I blame him, straight up.
I was gonna go ahead and put all the blame on him.
For everything.
They don't need to they still have five players up and a couple of volts to play with
They don't have an IDL? Oh hell it up.
Another body drops it, Kong Kong on the trade, but the numbers now sitting very nicely for T1
They still have Munchkin in a great position here
T1 just so happy with these sorts of rounds where they can just swing back and forth
Catch a play here and there
Kong Kong trying to make progress towards A but there's still two players from T1
Yeah.
Well, look how deep Buzz is.
He's got nothing on the other side of the map.
So they can put bodies to this.
They'll leave Munchkin just to be safe on there.
So where is Cheechy lurking?
In case there is that late lurk or a late split.
20 seconds. They go back B?
20 seconds. Cheechy going to catch a chance.
But that's that flindle now.
They're going B, but it's kind of staying in.
Oh, my friend.
We've got to pull the trigger now.
There it is. The crowd's starting to kick up.
eight seconds. They got the wrap on them. They can go back down be long or down middle.
Should I say, God was waiting. Oh my God.
This looks really bad. This is so bad. I can't.
I can't. This is really bad to make a decision here.
Similar issue. Like I said, they struggled massively in the downtime.
Oh God.
Falling freezes. Oh God.
They're just doubting themselves. A little bit of split.
You what are not holding back any punches either disaster after disaster five unanswered now EG will call a timeout
I also quite like how
Adaptive you want to be into an extent that we're seeing a dash of aggression down middle there from meteor
He's all that pushed down C long with the operator these small things
It's keeping that map information perfect for T1. It's risky
You're playing good on the line to get information, but it's working wonders as you said with that little hesitation for me
EDG of where they want to end goal to be. It's just perfect for TV. This is just lovely. So a timeout not too surprising
EDG need answers a good
Who's got the answers from this point onwards? It's been all T1s. Obviously the coin base win condition here
Yeah, that's what we've always said the win condition wants more is piecing something together around these ultimates
We need to see them go towards some nobody's
Nobody answers execute the game plan. Yeah, because right now their understanding of what's going on around
the match isn't solid enough for them to sit in this default rely on potentially
Kang Kang or CB to find openers that aren't really well invested so you want
to just winning out those engages like I said they're happy in those sorts of
rounds especially I'm much concerned at 10-3 already this had a light south
start to haven't it's nice to see this for T1 because look they all
All roads lead to central.
That's not as busy as you, bro.
Let's be real.
Come on, bro.
In this form?
In this form, come on.
Oh, god.
Nobody gone.
Nobody died.
Okay, stop, bro.
It's legit.
It's a stop, bro.
See these tires?
That's a- that's a big-
Oh
We did I can't plan that far ahead I'm down right now. I'm down. You have to right now. I'm down. You asked me tomorrow, man
It's a team
The other side of that peak
It's two months away exactly
I don't have many tools so you hope they just stack up and try it. Oh
Again will take concoction and we didn't need to be starts. Holy shit
it. Again, low hanging fruit, but that's the guy you look at.
That's the gift I keep giving.
To be able to just brute force a sight.
Look at the other side of the map.
Buzz again.
Just omnipresent.
They have the turret set up.
I'm pretty sure to catch if they do make any progress
through garage and there'll be a reaction.
And then look at the deeper position from Munchkin.
They are getting a little creative.
I like it.
Take a couple of risks.
Why not?
They check this.
And if they don't check this.
Oh, thank God.
Thank God for that.
EDG at least crossing that one off.
But
Hold on there's layers of the shit
I'm on the spike as well
There's still two players on this side of the map. Oh, correct. They're walking into the blender. You can just watch this
You've got stacks waiting in case they come up to all the paranoid miss
side of Paranoia gonna stop.
Oh yeah, I mean, this is-
He's like a drunk driver.
Chichu trying to do something miraculous for Rishi.
One to two.
Bro, Chichu's like a drunk driver the way he's playing Neon.
He's crashing into the walls and shit.
When do they consider it?
Two already.
Chichu, none of the boys.
Oh, brother.
Doesn't even get the voice line off.
Doesn't point out Smoggy until then.
On the hump now, buzz.
Looking out!
Oh!
Dead knife!
Smoggy!
Hold on!
Long tight!
Hold on!
HOOOOOO!
That was grief, which part, but that's the side?
I thought it was that side in this kill-me-less-john.
The forward side with maybe ambitious, I don't know.
I don't think it should have worked.
You want another Twitter clip? I don't blame him, bro.
It's a montage.
See he's got to be a nepo higher. No, he's warming up chill
Maybe CV's dad is Edward
Nah, I gotta chill I gotta chill. I don't know see like that. I can't
DG there's no real attempt to force any of the players that are backed up
They're not challenging towards a long on the side of T1
They're happy to sell site
much
for a long but as well down on B
early warning system allowing them this three-play stack towards a with a bit
more confidence he's got his hands out more than his gun I gotta stop show
walking towards it
present policy they can keep the pressure down on a long but she choose the one
standing up for it quickly falls down and now the pivot through garage buzz
waiting does he get what he wants me to go on
Oh
There's nobody in spore you trying to piece something together, but nothing
Yeah, as well to follow through on that pressure classic
To explore elsewhere
There's no scared to go back to a and re clear
He's gonna give it back
Oh
What a kill dude
That's enough get turned on that old fucking buddha shit back up
I'm sorry enough
Let's get back to winning.
The buy is not going to be pretty, if anything.
Cancun just one away from the tour de force.
Maybe fight for an AWP here, but it almost baits T1 into maybe contesting both extremities.
You can see the ping over towards T1 there.
Absolutely going to challenge it.
Yeah, and a very quick start as well.
Buzz is straight down T1.
Who's your thing?
Nobody.
today respecting me oh they keep
coming to me though I'm not going to
watch you're getting close now no luck
in middle this time so no worries in
that place even though it's that
lockdown there's a chip damage on the
shop it would have been nice to have
the so-called for the KJL now we're
Oh my god.
He's going to stick it.
Oh, they've fallen away.
I'm fine.
I didn't even cast the defuse
Show me the replay
How the hell did they get away with that?
I'm crying, I'm crying
Help!
Oh wait, they're not shooting me
No, I'm good, they're meant
The legit zero shots went in his direction
Not one bullet went in his direction bro
Not one U2 or one bullet
The lock down is securing around
4T1
4 to 4, see it
He's cranking it, yeah he is.
Oh my god, they're trading weapons in spawn!
Buzz, give him a chance brother!
Oh my god, not concocted.
He's being influenced by his teammates, he's like peer pressure bro.
They're playing like a bunch of clowns, so he's like shit. I might as well see it
This is
Mine that's gone like that, but I like this discipline as well from T1 and aggressive start a fallback
We've got man advantage. They give up the A side. They can play retake. They don't need to overstay
What does he be just you right there? He just uses wall and stuns. No, he's trolling brother. What is he doing, bro?
What does he just do man?
He just uses all his neutral.
I can't! I don't know what to say bro! I don't know what's happening!
I don't know what's happening.
I don't know what they're doing.
I don't know why they're playing like this.
This can't be them.
Bro's pretending to lock in.
Stop, stop, stop.
I'm going to die now the fall up can't get it done.
Break in the angles of nobody but still.
Chee-choo!
Honestly, you can get four-way.
There's a flank.
Leaving CB in a wearable scenario.
A quick reposition and another stabbing.
When meteor is this big from CB, keep your calm.
Keep your nerves.
Oh!
CB in the house.
Come on.
Honest cheat.
Hold up.
The EDG are alive!
All things seem to get a little bit more rounds.
I don't know whether or not, but the EDG are for a brutalizing first half.
Following suit from Pind as well.
Again, there's a chance to come back here.
The EDG's certainly putting up a point here.
Wait, his name is legit comeback.
His name is literally comeback.
Hold on.
What am I reading come back come back
I
I'm a dead-licking bitch. Hello, my phone's a-licking bitch.
She's like a-licking, dead-licking bitch.
I hear some nasty, like a little witch.
I try to hurry up.
If you don't know the stakes, this is elimination.
There is nothing to be left outside of the server now.
No time for excuses, and no time to do it again.
So you've got to turn up now.
T1 has elevated in my eyes, Mike.
They've looked far better on the same page,
and they're not making mistakes.
I'm talking about some of the things
that you've struggled with previously.
and it was losing out on advantages particularly on the defensive side.
Is that over till it's over?
True.
Not really knowing where to pressure, when to go forwards, when to commit, being punished
time and time again by gentlemates.
Certainly something they have to have picked up in the review.
It's a fixable thing, but what they have is what we wait and find out.
The booster one way.
Look at Munchkin though, put some pressure on Kankang's position, but for now it is T1, very much eyeing up this B site, very passive hold as well from Meteor down towards C long, looking to potentially catch C B, and he does, they've read them very nicely here.
I don't know if that was as necessary as it feels now, but I guess they've got freedom on one side of the maps. They can start figuring out where to go, how they want to approach this. They're in fact through middle.
middle plenty of time
Jeeta back towards see here. What do you got for us? I'm meteor sorry
Oh
Nobody was looking this way meet you the timing goes down con con gonna keep this one looking good
hold up hold up hold up hold up if they were if they started shooting like crazy they could still win
they might not have fundamentals but they can win off straight aim if they all lock in all five of them
at the end of the day if you make the wrong play you hit your shot doesn't matter
make them all lock in
And Munchkin, I think maybe spotted just as he's retreating back towards Lobby.
Unfortunately, the timing of that kill to come through, because he is Cancun basically.
The whole map to play with.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's round by round it.
That was the only threat, I guess, maybe outside of Meteor.
Smoggy is on Paywatch.
EDG, let's keep...
Kong Kong?
45 alive.
Oof.
contact and now burst from teach you have to
catch up yeah and we have a slip of a
play what he's turned to the dark oh my
god the Lord the Lord absolutely
pause and they found a weaker player
oh I got before us do you want me here
my god beyond CB what do you want to do
one in hand my shot position should be
safe oh God your sake not that round
The bulb for about five more seconds. I think he won wins. I think the longer the mid round last
It feels like the more nervous they get again, I'm gonna be wrong. That's my
Why don't you hit her I'm actually
But I'm a true fan because I'm hitting on them
seat offset that slightly but I mean it's a bucky a bulldog I'm talking guys
they're shit but I'm saying that as a fan
I'm waiting on them so they make changes and become better
scared crap
okay funcone's fine, they're all good
I should get nobody which is in towards sewer
and they still have duplight positioning on that sea site
T1's initial options limited this is the bonus
Yeah, it does catch
You have been seen
A lot more of T1 players come I was gonna say actually it's a perfect move from T1 on the back of that information
Nobody playing in the corner with a bucky. Good luck, brother
posted up here
That's why I got to
Still here the paranoia doesn't just whist past not gonna find what they need
Right still eat each other in hand for play
Banking on stacks
Still waiting for this one to feel secure, but it's just not
Another 3k from stacks continuing to deliver
Top of the board now for T1
Hunter's Fury in hand for him
Difficult round for EDG to win given the inventory bought in here but plenty of damage done
I think it's going to cause a massive issue for the buyback
Alright full buy here
See exactly how it's done, I mean still rifles across the board here so
CB thinks he's Dazzner
I'm not gonna lie if they have bazzarif on edg yet. Thank you. Actually be popping off
Yeah, this is the one no joke. He needs to get bazzarif for cv
into a string of rounds
Right like you're still very much in the game 9 6 not over by any means why don't I play bazzarif would actually like
They just give him some direction. I'll make it work
He might even bazzarif might even be able to IGL this team's I'll say it I got I got a high bazzarif stocks dude
at least one and until they can post up CB down on C long free up Kung Kung for potential
rotations. I like this.
Oh, they're walking to see where CB is alone.
To recall here.
For an angle. Oh, he's moving too much.
He's moving too much. Why is he moving so much?
Why is he moving so much?
CB is going ahead just on the outrun. That's not going to trade apparently CB.
He's gonna be on for another
Denied T1 still trading in effectively somehow they got me. They found me
Oh, it's just Kong Kong and CB here man, but Kong Kong died though. He repushed the right
Still three alive after that one HP you have a paranoia got some good U2 on nobody as well
Certainly a chance to make something happen here, especially with buzz back down to 20 HP
I
Nobody you got no options
Way this
Rough Mike that's double digits for T1
And this was the round that could have brought edg
We're back. This is the one that they ultimately want to stabilize off of in terms of the finances
We love it. He's first all cycle. I don't know
Yeah. Okay. Cheat you still less than halfway to the pit. A huge tool on the defense.
See you on. We're going to stretch their legs now.
Touching this. Nobody wants to see us. Oh my god. I love that.
Charles to really run away with this round.
I thought he's going to double down on that.
Yeah, I mean the stun almost catching someone and try to sing a little hesitation from
he was lobbying he's looking to set up smokes and buzz with 20 HP going
aggressive you can tell when the confidence is there can't you all right
10-6 it's a half bye from EDG rightful on nobody chamber off for concon yeah
full A control as a start and they've left concon on the other side of the
Here's the rotate
He wants beating up on B. Rotate is not in time
It's a free plant
Nice tag nice 35 winnable
2v4
Stax has still got Hunter's Fury though, it's like a high low time yet.
Oh my god.
It has to get a kill.
He does, he's trying, he's not got it though.
I think Stax knows there's issues.
The shock dart not enough.
He sent another one but nobody's sitting on this and here it comes.
He tries to back away in time so half is achieved.
Stax this would be legendary.
Oh my god, he had so much useful for the post.
Yo, that was a winnable.
It was winnable.
We were waiting for.
A thrifty to get the back into this.
I think Meteor had to kill someone.
Ken, a chance to really run down the clock.
Yeah
I think in hindsight
For c1 they should be playing like to bait out the civil
That's what we saw NRG do if the other team has civil just taps right and said
The silver just waiting to all be
I
Dig their heels in now
Looking to cause issues once more with this a long look is loser. Lemonator. Yeah full buys
CB's here Monka
I don't think it's on. Oh my god, he's walking up on that. Look at Viper.
Oh god, run. Do not slide him. Oh my god, not even a slide, just a track swing?
Oh, Smoggy!
They're looking at the back somehow. I don't know how they are.
You see my lie? He has an Omen?
Hey, why do you say that?
They had above water
They got a credit
Jesus read on the map as you said no contact elsewhere
I'll be a nice transfer spray from buzz. Yeah
Fortunately, he can't find the second
Cheat you to seal the deal you will see a T1 time out here
and the money
I'm not gonna be there to support a purchase for a couple of ultimates. Lockdown.
Do you want a buzz?
I'm gonna keep you for easy.
Bucking in hand, but Buzz does have his ultimates.
Getting cold.
More in base win condition coming out of this.
I mean it's a tall order on a lesser buy, but certainly have to feel as if it's around Buzz.
Yeah, I think that is the main one to look out for if there is a chance for it.
But first off we've seen actually EDG start to win the momentum game in my mind too.
just starting to get some stability behind them.
So I'm gonna figure out that form
that we've been waiting to see kicking to effect.
And T1 responding in probably the right way,
just slowing things down themselves here,
having a check-in.
Because we've all been kind of talking,
I wasn't talking down EDG,
we were talking about how to get out their form.
I think that we're calling them to the standard.
Yeah, we can talk during the other team's timeout,
but it's not, they're not able to call it.
We just haven't seen that really spark yet.
You only get two, you only get another one
if they call it.
a little bit of that. I'm all aboard. We all know what they can look like when the ball gets rolling and things start looking good.
Just gotta keep it going now. They're still not in the lead. They've certainly done what they can to bring this back to reality.
Kung-Kung, hot spot for T1.
Not so patient as ever.
Say that. Not so patient now.
Uh-oh.
My shot.
That's Buzz gone. He's still standing. He's still looking for chances.
But they're going A where she's just alone.
Did he see them?
I would have loved to see his POV but it's all good.
I don't know what he saw.
She's going for Antel.
Did he see them? I would have loved to see his C.O.V. but it's all good. I don't know what he saw.
I don't know, but I brought this being pulled. They might walk into C.B.'s judge here.
Actually the re-hitting B.
C.B. should flank. Maybe. Maybe not though.
the right place for it and they're going on this one nobody got to be prepared gonna get one
well good jumping by stacks very good jumping and that judge let's see what that reset looks like
for the postpone company's getting closer to hit on top well and kjills bloody hell they won this
one down they didn't like it they don't like the dg gdg we're getting back in the game and media
goes walking fight why don't they look like a little cheechoo what an edg cheechoo what was that
Oh, is that Ritzy?
Initially, this is leaving Chichu solo on 8.
Shouldn't they like, maybe break about a lockdown first, and then go from there?
Because he's on flank?
This is a one and done with the way T1 are playing.
It's never a solo endeavor in these sorts of rounds.
But also, Kong Kong walked it alone, yeah. Like, his team is nowhere near him.
sleep at the wheel here that's a fumble he did break it but they died before he
broke it and the other guy wasn't there to trick Hong Kong I was really bad
I don't know
T1 now with a chance to push up to 12
EDG back with a good buy though they do have the operate with Hong Kong they do
the alt with CB and a judge I feel like EDG make a roster change after this
no even if they qualified like
going on here
I don't know I'm just gonna be watching hard as hell right now
I got chill
See one thing is if they create enough pressure here the con con boss
Just can't find the shop
That could be the green line when con con miss I say close one TV misses I say
If he wants to try and stand his ground
This time is coming
OHHHHH
The heat-ticking missile has been removed
EZU gonna eliminate that
Allow for the plot here. I should deny it by the shop
What the hell?
Is that gonna miss it?
Yeah stacks given this now
That's not your mark.
A little paranoia to work with here.
Slow down this retake coming through from EDG.
Yeah, I like that. Meet you. You're gonna find Gichu. Meet you on the follow up.
Stacks of the flag. It's meet you. It's three.
Beautiful. That's point, series point, elimination point.
So solid in these holds, Lauren.
Unfortunately, EDG, a canvas, another round where somebody just has to go.
Absolutely insane to turn the tides.
And even with that pit towards long, the map deals a little vulnerable here.
He's just walking through his ult.
No, never mind.
He thought about it though.
He's trying to batten down the hatches, but T1 are playing a good game.
Nobody wants info.
And Kong Kong wants a kill.
He's going to get it, eh?
FUSHED!
It feels like speed is here, not wall practice.
Like, this is desperate, and it's dangerous.
They don't have a response to this situation.
Easy to slow down.
It's a gravy train.
That adaptation is not there.
Brilliant they're removing the threat on the A side of the map really to unwilling to relent in this position
He wants these who dead he's got him berries in his buzz on 20
This would be something to remember
17 to 15 no he's not having a bad game the map feels small
Stuff
No, I think so we should be able to slip away here
I'll read you in the situation really well. I'm gonna force Buzz to make moves, explore the map,
and force the plant out here. Cheat you. Picking up the slack in mid as well.
Discipline. That's all this is, is discipline. This is a slam dunk.
They have him cornered it seems, but he could go spawn to A, but I guess they're just playing retake.
Oh, we did spot him.
You've seen one, 10 seconds.
Oh.
3K and smoggy here.
And a quieter performance for short.
We'll give EDG something to cling on to.
Three rounds separating.
Times of life?
I mean, it's 12-9.
It's not out of the ballpark yet, right?
You have fair plates, Gigi, on the other side as well.
the pit towards long and still getting proactive but the buy is still there the
T1
we're looking to explode see I mean buzz goes old and a judge so
Hong Kong is here 12 though it's not a light side of the map Hong Kong
he's ready he's had moments in this position but buzz is on the way
let's check for a second no about smoggy and Hong Kong's the one
destroyed by Charlie he's two before here but by now
there's barely any of them alive.
I'm going to reposition.
Staying up here.
Vision limited, but they're already trying to get out of there.
There's both to say.
There's nothing to do about this round.
That's kills.
Okay, it's both time.
Rick Wall on the seaside here.
T1 are kind of hurting for money.
Smoggy just cooking in that snake bite,
but the TP just draws the eyes of T1 elsewhere.
Munch can now put in a similar bit well much healthier, but there's a full 1v4
Thirsty
He is going for this round but with the effort edg
There's still a chance. He does have a chance in this place for this
But I mean with three way below the mark and buzz now not having an ultimate to offset that
So you want to effectively give up another after this?
I don't know if it sounds silly, but I'm just happy to see discipline.
Yeah, with what's gone wrong for EDG today, absolutely.
And I hope I don't have to eat my words in these moments.
How do you say it now?
I want V4 would need a catastrophic mistake to lose.
I
This is the time to watch last class you won
some level of investment well ten like you said they've already kind of
guaranteed why not throw something else see what sticks I guess in terms of the
mind games that psyche here
they're gonna be sweating bullets I said have some ultimates to play with
doggy smoggy and come on we have theirs available I'll be surprised if it
What is it goes not through easy when well? Oh my god, I'll be insane
What is somehow see one like throw this away a punch no way right and we all are worse
I mean, it's a second year objective.
You go ball.
Done.
Deal.
Don't jinx it, bro.
No jinx, man.
No jinx.
I guess let's see how much pressure you could have gotten.
I mean, it's, yeah, there's no way Kankan has popped.
He's flopping back and forth on the bye, but...
It's a half-by for T1.
That's what I'm seeing if they can get...
Guardian, rifle, or guardian phantom and a judge.
Let's check here. Yeah, gonna at least look left side. That's three players trying to bait out the so-va-alls.
Maybe how they wanted to imply they wanted to try out the series.
But they don't get close. No, they're not even... I don't know. They're trying to bait something out.
Very careful on the way out. Taking the long road here.
KJ on Lurk.
Player pushed up and holding the C long walk down.
Look at me on CB.
And then almost a similar scene on the other side, right? CB down on A long.
So, almost a mirror.
Now this goes. Buzz being very loud about it.
The munchkin tried to start working.
See if he's here, see if he's here, see if he's dead.
Observer doesn't even show the POV.
3v3.
They're going back to C.
Does Kong Kong have the read now they're going to add?
Sack's level.
Oh my god.
post up
Rampage he won't get a freeze behind this
From neon mother to this chill chill chill
Bosses in
Alive
Right here right now
And they are watching they are waiting the issue of being an icon is they know what you're going to do
to 10
EG
Bowling out as T1 not the half by not the half by man
Not the half by five before
How does he need either?
Performers from Kung Kung here, but it's just not enough
to deliver a lifeline, take us to a third T1. Fantastic from them today. They've been
stacked certainly the highlight previously here, but Baz Munchkin, ain't everybody stepping
up for T1 today? Oh, at their moment, it's alright.
He's GNT.
Unfortunately, he's just going to be GNT.
GNT, GNT, GNT, GNT.
He's just falling short here.
here
That's gonna sting 3dG these guys are competitors right that's not how you wanted to happen
But on the other side on the flip side for T1. It's a breath of fresh air a
Chance you want live to see another day a chance to show what you can do
to turn the odds in the body one gunner
Maybe a chance to go on a run
It's a long road still. I mean that buying performance is a statement to be made here of the form that you want to bring in
Here in Santiago
Who got them doing this brah again? Just to say it once more buzz playing
Step up a little bit show us what we know historically is capable of but
I think that's a really good way to say it. That form looking like it carried from map 1 to map 2 and again Ezhu and Unison as well but yeah this has been a good display for T1.
A couple of worries and woes might be waning slightly now for the T1 fans but still EDG. It feels like it's still a lot to be done for this team in the future.
in the future. She lied, G2 neck. Elimination. But for now it's time to look towards a further
distance T1 can run. We'll be hearing from in the Verizon post-matching.
I stopped to say it, but China is currently 0-6 and she lies there, last call.
I'm here with the stacks and also Jen that she's helping me out with the translation.
first of all we heard that you can speak Spanish and you actually fluent hold up
can you teach me some words can you tell me some words in Spanish and also the
audience
he's a showman he's a showman
also I want to talk to you about your performance we saw your performance in
Pacific, but now you're so good. This stage was the stage, but what was it?
I think it's the Santiago crowd. They are making us feel like we're in a battlefield.
crowd they are making us feel like we're in the battlefield and they're rooting for us so they
help us focus on the game bro channel work the crowd for the Cobb buff you had a respected dude
That's performance ever.
That's really good.
Commenta que, si obviamente son ustedes, gracias a todos ustedes los que están apoyando hace
que esto se sienta como una guerra que simplemente tienen que amasar y que está siendo increíble
para ellos.
So now for my last question, I also want to talk about that pass that game against
the wind.
Can't end the sandals?
Bring them all.
G.C.V. though.
Keep that motherfucker far away.
I'm just kidding.
I love G.C.V.
I'm just kidding bro.
I'm sorry I'm sorry this is jokes I feel bad because he's probably beat himself up so hard right now
It's just jokes
I don't think it was down to the amount of strats or the level of performance from the team, it was more on us making, well, with our individual performance, so that was what was missing and I think today against EDG, I think we were able to show our true colors and show the world who we truly are.
We are definitely be careful with to one ladies and gentlemen and you are basically
comment that it no way for the fault of strats the problem the team liquid
sino que fue
you
I'm not gonna go crazy mode. I'm not gonna go crazy mode. Just to touch on G2 though back on that map one
I was really impressed with Jock. He had a great second half in that game playing the neon was turning things around and
Honestly, I thought Trent was okay in that series despite that horrific one singular moment
I thought he was playing all right aside from that like there were some I don't want to force the thing
I feel like I'm already dragging myself through the mud slightly as crazy as that sounds.
That's how I feel about it.
Is there any world that GleeFew loses to you by? I think 0%.
I think GleeFew's arms are not to fall off, right?
tried his absolute best to rally the team but here's what he had to say to the squad going into map 2
Boys listen
Whenever we're down a map and we feel like we need to catch fire again
It's not by one person is by the whole team. Okay, we're a team of five
It's 20% each player. All right, you have 20% of a job to do on this map to win us this map not a hundred
I like that I
You know what I can't disagree with that kind of logic unfortunately for them in that map too
It just wasn't happening the way that they wanted it to you can of course attest that to an incredible performance from paper
Rex
Undoubtably, but there were also why it's some rounds there that were just going the other way that was just a pressing
Yeah
Well, they started to cool off on that too and I felt like you could just see in real time things
crumbling yeah players I think showing more negative emotion than they
typically would like Trent who as I was saying I did genuinely feel like he was
playing pretty solid in this series I think even on map to aside from again
like that ISO moment where he missed this you know divide here coming out of
the kill contract he was getting some big impact kills in this game but it
just in reaction like that I shot him so many times yeah that's what it
Sounded like reading the lips and there were moments after that to on cam where it's like that negative reaction just continued
Yeah, and I don't think it's like that entire round
He's here when they have to go against Igor on this was a 5v3 that should never have got into a 1v1 scenario
Baby Bay's one of those other players. I think you have to be putting the focus on
I think the fact they're up against XLG here's a great opportunity for him to find his foot
Oh, like you're up in one what baby Bay was up to in terms of just watching his POV
I feel like he did not adapt to the big stage against paper eggs very well
I was seeing a way better performance from the guy in America's
The stats are gonna tell part of the story here obviously because he's playing like half as well as he was in America's
But when he actually watches POV his aim was way shakier
He was less confident about the fights that he was taking and I think this game has to be where he gets back
On the solid ground in terms of what he brings to the team as well with the vibes
I mean he's trying to pass it
Right now, I'm just trying to get the ball rolling early, which I think is a good idea.
Let's be real.
In America's, when they had moments where they bounced back, though, it often came from
maybe making a big individual play and then generating the hype off of that, and then
everybody started to feel it.
And you could see them oftentimes pick up a tempo in their gameplay, start playing
faster and more aggressive after a moment like that.
But there was no moment like that to be, you know, the catalyst of a mental turnaround.
It was just this slow crumbling.
I know it's time to join a P good and if you got a trial often forget my fear and spiders chances are not high
I straight up told them I played jet and generally they said they give you a chance
I got a cool 16 kills in my first stream. They told me that will message you
They said go let me know having her back since
Which is a tough one, but you know my hopes I maybe it'll come around
You know G now this squad got a call of spade to spade they had a rough start against in my KZ
16 and 18
a couple of rounds why I thought 18 times a week lost the scrim 13 five I got saved
right a couple times the strict door room basically full-time meta this
entire kickoff run to get here outside of on Haven which is clearly
their worst map and they have a perm of ban. So that just put them down significantly against
NRG who are masterful on Hayden. But when they got to a BIS when they started playing this double
duelist on attack, Raga was a dog. He went 15 and 8, he had 5 first kills, 0 first deaths.
Yeah, that's when he started to see them heat up. And I think genuinely if they can get off
on the right foot, if their shooters are shooting and they've got shooters, we know that
for a fact I think that's where things could get dangerous for G2 if they
haven't completely rallied back for what happened against PRX I think part of the
problem though is that those strengths were only really showcased on what
yeah looking happy as ever
was really how hard is Jonah P. Hey watching right now Robin Jonah P. are in
the sento's office they got high hopes cheeseburgers and W. Hey watching
more is this
my sword is there my sword is there and no man's there no man that's the guy
thinking about no man look at the screen
we can jump out of this year and then learn and then
happy way for all the energy can be used to fight the next round
true
yeah I know that's all I forgot I don't know
They're going to be invested.
She'll pull her, and halfway has a headshot.
Right now, I think our team's hero pool can be covered.
And I can play a lot of places.
And I can play a lot of places that I like.
We can monitor both smoke and double-shot.
And then smoke, information, and play with a young player.
Basically, we can take out all the main characters in the game.
And then we can play to 9-9, play to information.
And then we can play to...
Can I tell them Youngtang on the menu?
What does he do, man?
Pinching the power.
I'll play it right now in your opinion, Mata or Forsaken or...
Or...
I think Marcian might be the best right now, that was no joke.
By the way, teammate team B is pretty important, Chad, no joke.
G2 have gotten the better of domestically
Team B helps. It helps to be Team B.
There's going to be a lot of work that needs to be done here if you're XLG.
Completely agree with that one. I think it'd be nice to get out to a good start here and have at least a bit of an advance in terms of the map veto scenarios.
But at the same time, I think they're going to be in a difficult spot because of that permaband that they have.
Yeah, I've just lost over to Haven.
This might be one of the most important skirmishes, honestly, for a matchup.
up because you do not want to be playing Haven first.
I'm just going to assume the G2 is going to pick into the game.
Wait, who picks the players that play for the skirmish?
Does anyone know?
Is it a team?
Phoenix comp, do they rip from PaperX?
Yeah.
Regardless, though.
I mean, we saw that Phoenix comp have a huge amount of success
in the hands of PaperX, though, haven't we?
Yeah, it had success in the hands of G2,
but they definitely had the surprise back there.
Yes.
Because they didn't play it.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, we're seeing the form of these players.
I'd be weighing in a position where
might be able to close things.
Is that for sure you guys guess who?
Kickoff is the pious rated player.
The pie?
Pretty much across the board in all stats in China.
Well, I'm not playing dualist.
Just incredibly credible.
I mean, just look at the stats that he was putting up.
Both of these players were absolutely nasty
for their teams in kickoff.
Yeah, he really is astounding.
So I should put you on six minutes
so you can play the skirmishers.
I think every team should have a skirmish specialist.
Am I still wrong to say that?
Oh
Oh boy, all right, so I do believe we might have the map veto flying up here in a second so we can show
Yeah, so we got a bis haven and a mess is
No live Vitos?
Wait, they're showing no live Vitos in the arena, but not to us.
We're getting jibbed!
Yeah, we got Havin' again.
I will be so shocked to see XLG
even though map 3.
getting into a top position again show but starting on defense this team SLG
they do they don't play with a lot of fire they don't play with a lot of passion
it's relatively the passion yeah I do want to see them pushing out more on
defense side across their maps I think that would be much nicer to see bit of
vertical rotation a bit of confidence to find those over seven rounds the pressure
in the opening map might actually be more on G2 when we've seen them in
this double-jewelist new style of theirs the comp that they ran on a
was like a jet yoru that they they mangled the execution of that when they ran it in america's question do you swap it up?
If you do you go back to what brought you to the dance initially because maybe the double duel is in quite here in chile
No, no, no, I don't think they swap it up and go back to like double initiator
Sure, okay, but I could still see them swapping the duelists around having like baby pull out the whaley
And you put jog on the yoru instead just a bit more comfort a bit more
I think they had the breach on the map as well which was
How's everyone feeling coming in this game quiet, I mean I'm telling right now if I don't see XLG you're done
Damn, pansies six and one
Why? No! Why?
Why? Come on!
It's not show seven at all
Oh my god
G2, I wanted to curse them by getting the G2 picks across the board, but Jen has fucked us man.
Jen did you dirty dog.
Oh, that's why I'm sick.
So I want XLG to win.
I'm here to give you the favorite, but I wanted to curse them, man.
I'm here in excuses.
Bro.
No, you do not get to kiss G2.
Oh my god.
Okay, it doesn't get to happen that way.
Oh man.
All right, folks, will you hear the crowd?
They're ready to go. Ed S is hyping them up on this stage, but this matchup is gonna be wild.
Cam G2, find a way to dig deep, get a clean win, or does XLG manage to send an America's champion home?
Let's bring out your teams.
Ruido! XLG!
Liiiittoooooooooooo!
You do do do do do do.
G to a sports coming into this one having to feel confident because they have been in
these situations before these pressure filled situations for XLG on the other side.
They know they're going up against a juggernaut but they know they have what it takes to
to be able to take down the best of America's.
Let's see how this goes down.
Jibby, you can feel the aura permeating in the air
when Lysor steps on.
I know.
I just stand up.
I know.
This is an insane matchup.
Take a shot every time Lysor stands.
It's hard to believe at this point
since she's been around for a while.
But that being said, these are two of the best
ascension of all time.
In fact, are we in the most success following that narrative?
I mean, it is legitimately true.
Yeah, you do kind of have to say that, don't you?
Small add before the match starts.
Touchcrime's cast.
Hooman we will not be modding you.
They need as many as they can get obviously, but I mean it's an attack-sided map in general
I'd be really happy if they ended up getting five on the defense side
Yeah, maybe even four I'd be fine
But I think the wincon is that G2 crumble their attacks
Strat's yeah, that is what happened when we watched them play against Furia
They beefed their attacking execs over and again. Yeah, if you're here on that map were incredible
Takes floods back in on to the site and I do the best thing that this XLG team
You sure are good, but they shrugged a little bit in the last match.
The problem is that Vragah, yeah.
The problem is that Vragah locks in.
This could be a competitive match.
But, it would have to be a major collapse for you too.
Because they play their normal game.
They should be like easy cruising, I feel like, right?
is Andre but the thing is is that why I'm talking about his message through what's going on over there
he's been put in a lot of positions where he kind of is like a make or break almost for the squad
especially when it comes down to the mental absolutely and I think that the mental is
going to be so interesting to track across what we expect to be a fairly close cap you play
better while hungry or on a full stomach on one side no man popping off then you've got baby
bae who's going to be trying to bring up the energy on the other side yeah I think that that
If you see one of these teams start to go quiet, you could be a big guy in front though to the man that we just saw on your screen there.
Actually, I don't know. It's kind of split.
Because I think when the going gets tough, you can always rely on the one leaf to get you the dub.
And he needs to be in honestly exquisite form here today to kind of round up the rear and pick up whatever slack is left on the rest of the field.
Yeah, he is.
Any mods for Gambo?
That is talented enough to put me there are comfortable. Yeah, you have to be in between right?
But if I had to pick between being hungry or full I go full
He was on the breach playing
What if you're always hungry for success
I put coming out here if they wanted to play something like that. We call a chud. Sorry. I'm a real son. I'm the rich out here
I like that. It's kind of cooking. I think this might you could really
That harbor is works really well with Valin he likes to be able to cut up the map manipulate space
That's a good agent for him to you almost no one is playing neon here as well
That is weird. Is that John neon? This is probably right time to get this second elimination match under way
We got just the casters to call the action fellas have fun with this one
I think and paper fan
What's more into the best
To the hands of a paper X XLG looking to do similarly is not wanting to go the same round
You two busting out the first time, Harvard.
The EDG just did.
Absolutely.
I mean, this is really important for their region as XLG,
because you're starting to look like maybe everybody
might have been right about your region,
that you're shaky, that you're the weakest region coming in.
Do we have a draw for this match today?
We should.
As the most fundamentally sound, as the team that
could actually potentially do damage to the NRG,
proved that they were a step above the class.
And then tomorrow will be the final day of a map that
is so, so important here for XLG.
Wednesday's off day and then playoff start on Friday.
NYC if you live in New York we're doing an in-person watch party on March 6th 7th.
Anyone that lives in New York pull up.
what that storm surge and the new high tide really do for you and kill we're
not gonna see it in this round forget it founds already dead pick the part there
in mid obviously you'll be able to find the opening kill the map 4v5 already
theory crap why do I bother sometimes you get you have a control it's still
gonna be planted all the same 4g 2 but it's a 4v5 see retake looks for
XLG double-push both duelists working their way around
Before
I
Get off to a good start. Oh the dark scan and then all you stand after Wow
Well done by him. Yeah, he's got the same line
Assumed that he was gonna stop with the spam and he didn't hate the price
Caught out in the open here number three to split cover mid work their way back in towards a retake
No man, immediately trying to hype the team up.
No man!
Need a lot from him on this game.
Ecology too.
Share for Leaf.
Bandit for Jha.
Last time out against them.
Jordy on on.
See what they got here.
It's like a basket B exec.
Push the pace here.
Strong goes up and over the top.
Leo getting the tag on to one.
The stream is low.
He's like a shot.
C for Fallon but still falls.
Happy way has the transfer.
Looks for a third one to the book but Leo is there doesn't look how I like blurry and
Yes, we go to YouTube damn flawless, but we'll be able to find the finish on the enemy astra
So much more work now needed and necessary as baby bait one before with just a shorty in hand
And now where are you sad? Oh trying to go for the nose gop ends up costing him
But Raga will get picked apart, but they can just swap out the stinger for the outlaw
All of the inspector general the weapons around that's a two-zero start for XLG
Pretty good pretty good. You'll take that as XLG. I
Sometimes things to get a little
I feel like
I'm going to go for a push here potentially, and swing it out, ballsy, going right past
Val and shoulder, some nicking for you too, nice job, push on eight, solid first advantage
found 4G2.
They play out this anti-bombs but Lyser lurking forward into smoke will be found baby they
spotting out the hatch.
Big cats baby.
3v5.
a crazy shot on the baby baby but likely he's just gonna tuck back wait he's
going to leave see if you catch somebody on the exits he's holding the gun
it's like we're not gonna get the opportunity comes up in 3k sports for
themselves on the board okay exactly what you needed to do I played varsity
dog for my high schoolers lost in the state tournament yesterday and I'm a
senior so my seasons over how did you as an e-sports player overcome a tough
loss keep your head up even if you played well was still lost
um I think for me to keep your head up after a loss
some of the early round macro that I'm seeing in a lot of attention being paid to mid by both team but
it's something that looks like... I hate to see how you look at it, right? I think for me it's like
well you know it's like a learning process and it doesn't define the journey. I mean some cringe I
should say but like it's awesome. I think it has a learning process. I feel like every person
is different. Seriously, some people take losses harder. But I think time, you gotta give it
back. Hold on. Finds the first to get himself on the board, sets up a smoke, but
however you meant to try to tuck away and stay alive with 48 seconds remaining in the round,
just 21 health. Have to see some mistakes from XLG. Why are they looking shooting back?
Trying to wait it out. Trying to find that stray shot. They know that he's tagged up.
down low. And now, his way
through that connector. Now,
he's at least sussed out as
to where Valon could be. Do
they want to pursue this?
To find him, flush him out
and take him to the right.
He might have a chance actually.
He might have thought he
slinked his way back over towards
the spawn. So, ten seconds
left. For the moment. Now,
I'm looking likely to be
able to see this weapon.
there for G2. Again a little bit out of sync. I mean this is something that
started to rear its ugly head against Paper Rex for G2. It's just not being able
to coordinate as well. And you know I had a quick talk with Jog before the match
and he said man we just got to get on the same page like that's that's what's
killing us. And you know you get that identification and Baby Bay can't
track down the target fast enough. He's a little bit slow to the punch
there behind the recon utility and therefore he can't get the
Saturate to land and Rager's in a perfect position to punish it. So a lot of these things already
gonna be
thought about because
Already early pause at early time out
Not liking this early deficit to find themselves in and I think for good reason cuz XLG the defender side
Wasn't exactly where they were putting up the best performance versus energy
That was when they got over on to the attack and their triple dive on the b-side
He got a thing in first
So many pains for NRG to try to deal with it and slow down that pace and XLG is able to get a very strong start from this defending half
They're pretty well slaved to be able to take this map. Yeah, absolutely and
to
At insult to injury for what was going wrong for XLG because what you're saying is 100% correct on the rounds where
NRG started to slow the pace down where they started to hold some of the mains a little bit deeper
They were just dismantling them
Kind of nice here, I guess is XLG you don't have to worry about some of that Tejo utility that was really giving them grief in terms of
PRX
Player caught out with some positioning mistakes from XLG like that was one of the big things
I noticed on this defender side was positioning mistakes
Wide swings where they're out in the open when they don't need to be trying to take fights
We're they're not favored because anybody see what's happened to watch party. It should be on the link
Maybe had a better opportunity against me on there somewhere or you should be emailed so far looking better
But it's gotta be before the match time so
See what G2 has dialed up. I don't want to say cuz I don't know first and hold on here
We're trying to go for a trap play but
Doesn't have the back away. She's you starting to suck that one out
Trent does eat that amount of damage so down to 43. Oh, we swapped the weapon over
but we want to get into the hands of Leafy to find a head shot.
Cannot confirm the kill on the no man so he just dashes out the safety.
The relark. Utilizing this cosmic divide.
Nope. So early and because you've got three players at the front of A main there
you think they're going to make some pretty fast rotations here over towards B but
we're just clearing that space now. Here we go.
We'll be a little bit late. See a happy way. I don't want to get involved to recon dart.
K, the half site.
Asherwall on retake.
Garg again.
Yeah.
Ryger's coming around.
Big kill on playing.
Did you check him?
Checking.
Good check.
Baby!
2v2.
Still very loseable.
Oh
My god
Shrent there hopefully that's a
My goodness
good shots. Scary. Throw it out there excited to be able to cast him. Good friend. But yeah that was
scrappy though. Yeah I mean I think that really could have gone. He doesn't hit those two shots if
Alan doesn't win yet. There's so many little things that could have gone wrong for G2. Yeah.
Again liking the macro from XLG. Triple push mid. It's a sharp shooting from Raga and happy way
in company
They pinged it. Yeah
This is not good, they know he's
to do is I miss the tag.
Praying and praying with even a bit of damage in return.
Wait, how do you get a kill with spawn?
I'm happy.
He's able to find baby bay.
Balance tag down the two.
So fighting.
He's going down.
Wait, leave us here.
They're OK.
I'm tweaking.
Here's the rotation.
Into the site.
The time starting to get away from the hatch.
They go for the full stick.
But Jogamote.
Very special, though.
Mike finds that kill.
Bleep wanting blood.
It will be rewarded with it.
Oh, my god.
Dispensive.
Either side.
All players dead.
G2 tied up at 3-3
I'm quite impressed with what I'm seeing from both teams in terms of how they're thinking about these rounds how they're thinking about their strategy
Maybe be there
Then I'll do a raga create some space. That's what you're gonna need is G2
And again, he has the awareness of that late lurk from Lee
Even though it ends up costing them because he's patient enough to wait until they fully committed past that angle
a lot of people, tons of alts here for XLG. This is a very important around for them in
terms of the alt economy and their actual gun economy. Those baby day.
So the dashing again catches the glimpse of Delman.
Fake on A.
This is all a bit of a ruse to try to keep some attention. Talk to us at the same
time. Leap in mid. We're going out to fight versus Leo.
We're not going to be a fish.
Throwing that Soviet till not going to be available for the potential retake is
Oh
That's our position baby
Sam
Over the side of XLG
You know he's there
I don't know what's happening, that's much more true to these Urals and Astralisks, right?
Yeah, it's such an important battle in the mid that's going on to give that extra player advantage.
I'm still chaotic right now.
Here's the first killer, and then spam on Jha, Urals comes out, Rastro attaches baby on Lurk,
I think that's one and they're walled off that's something to
double down the players coming out of the cosmic divide they're looking good I
told you are looking good brah I'm not gonna lie they're making a game
man hyping right alongside him John got spammed through the smoke out on this
You should have all the happy ways 12 and 4 right now.
That was so highly rated.
Coming into this tournament.
Eco for G2.
Fast up mid.
He is showing why.
You know what's nice?
G2 is that the pressure is even higher
because they're expected to win this match
immensely, right?
This is like everyone has G2 winning this.
So deep in mid now. There's finally a drone that goes on an exploration. I don't think it's all right
It's absolutely extra layer of pressure by the shot
One player gonna be taken down to the Galeo very strong awareness of this position from baby
That's no G low key have that other log boss across no pressure. Just have fun. Now last one standing with us on but like
Should just be gender rights and he will be like five to three XLG when you know
I expect to win is really easier to play a very strong defender side everyone
I would say 80% of people have g2 winning here already needing to win this follow-up round. I've got three ultimate to try to utilize
Yeah, I think this might be one of those times where
Try to go for the big maybe more
Kind of rehearsal has looked like the practice in the lead-up to this map for g2
So that worked the treat for NRG
All right back to the full by here
a little bit
Straight up the site gave XLG grief to try to hold this down
So time and time again, and then our G was able to brutalize their way through
You said tons of all today
Got an after he got an after
Now he is still
What a timing to be found play what a play. That is one hell of a way for him to just the one kill before
He just tears them all the pieces of the blink of an eye. You know, you know, only him only him on lucky
Oh
Man, I just he could not have time that better literally everybody's utiler TPing or snot looking his way
Unreal
From Trent baby base ahead of the curb so again that
Coordination between those two players a little bit lacking here on a bus I go TP in the mid
That's what's gonna be scaling for the side
What is that unbelievable
transfer to be able to find
balance as well. This is such a
snappy reset. No man tag glow
but does have that region armor
behind. While Raga trying to
hold here in a main. Looks like
there's suspicious. There's a
punch. The Guardian has the
one. Yo, you are kidding. You
how does that work out for him?
They cannot find the punish
He needs to stay alive as leaf is on the approach here
Leaves leaf now one before
Which just feels like
Find their foot and they get that round when XLG are able to just right up underneath them
Yo, I told you I'm warming up. This is dangerous big place from Lysor this time dangerous
Hell, look at this double. Look at this double on the slide and the follow-up
Was it a fake clear by Trent low key or not he didn't like countershow fit just kind of walked into the angle
It felt like a fake clear, but maybe I'm over playing that
See the frustration
Not wanting to have to use that second time out in the half half by here now they're full invested
Jaws got all overdrive now available for jogging almost decent amount of firepower into this one
Hinder will connect but oh he couldn't speed up on a way to chase in and find that punish
Well, look at bottom made in mid. Oh my god. Just no man's in no man's land
As I say swing could come
They didn't see him. No. Yo
That top mid pillar
They give me top mid does he not know? At least suspect
Yeah, this is so awkward.
This is, what is, what is happening?
How does that play out that way?
Oh, this guy's gonna eat.
Rager's about to eat right here.
He can't do this.
Wait, was that no man's in there?
Big 3k.
That's no man's right. He is happy way on the opposite side. This guy has been a menace
Now on the approach. It is low damage
Trent has all they're gonna put in together to play with here
Stars are coming up Trent's facing
See how he wants to set this up
What is
Trying to make it seem like he's on spawn spawn sides and wrapping the window. Oh my god
Oh my God, he's licking a hook!
He made both of them focus there.
No!
Big. Big by Baby.
Individual heroics, right?
Yeah.
That's a three game survey for Baby.
for job to reverse sometimes that's what it counts I'm done for though is happening again
I can't credit XLG enough with the the macro ideas the strategic view that they have
I said he's moving sometimes they really drill in this map scrappy battles they
get caught in the timing like a lot of old here for GQ
happy way over
side-step it
Check around the back with a mental drift is in from raga
See what he can spot out these defensive positions. No, I've seen Gamma or everything makes his exit
Now they get ready to go on the push baby. They have over still on tower
3-5.
I'm stealing it.
I'm gonna come up for more.
Oh my god.
Alright, they got it.
you
3v4. Now 3s.
Now 3s.
3d.
Nice work.
1v2.
Oh, we gotta break that.
That cold is hard.
That's a burp on paper.
Leave for the three-cage.
Recafe for Leap, and a pistol round win for G2.
Puts it in the lead, the first time here on a miss.
There you go.
Now you get to see some real value out of Harvard,
especially on a pistol round.
Shield's going to be tough to break.
Oh, wow.
What a scan.
Represents of mine there.
Set one up high low there.
4G2 on this retake.
The star comes out immediately.
You drop one under and step another one up.
Take a lot of the break here.
Yeah, this one was pretty strong.
XLG to get the read on that
Really nice retake for G2. I might be another pistol going the way of XLG, but not Harborbuff
Three players tagged up halfway even the front of that
Follow up not gonna be able to find anything more but still G2 very well set up retake clean anti eco
Oh my god.
What's the next map Haven?
Should be all good here.
Should be.
Oh my god.
cleanup will be swift for players surviving g2 damn clean move up now eight
to six a discussion who virus bro stop stemming tens is coming yes plan she's
coming going off so I really like this round for g2 in terms of what I'm
seeing in their defensive protocols the patients here you know the early
darts they're gonna be waiting for that second follow-up darts see if
Trent can, you know, double down on that and get a kill.
There's a grab while there as soon as the execute comes through to come to the pieces of XLG in half,
and then you've got the recon stuff to come through after that to get that vision, get that early kill.
You just play that flood retake so they have a much harder time getting that plant down.
Flood retake, but it's sort of a hold, we'll call it.
Like all that looks really crystal sharp from G2.
Well, well rehearsed clear there for Jogamo so he can keep pressing for three men
Alone in this this is a massive push out three players, but looks like they will just fade away
I want a look at it go on the flank baby bank fires out of shot
We'll be on the clone to the morning all those the saturate locked up
We'll bash over the side. We'll avoid getting caught
Chalks, they have some fading here from Excel. He's trying to get this you till oh, she too nice and early
One's close to left today, no?
It's not.
How's that work out for no man?
They all have two!
Only one!
How's it veiling it's team?
40 seconds
You know that he can plant this the safest. Oh, no
Maybe think that he could cut across
Sport all the way around leave tucking in over towards man walking through. Does he peak the angle?
Wow
And now a bonus conversion for cheat. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. How does he read that?
unbelievable saw something in the tape and he's like I bet he's gonna try to go
the other way I'm just gonna hold the angle just in case
for any flank and beautiful beautiful but it's crazy because if Rago does just
He's very well in his hands.
He's very far behind.
I mean, it's a play.
Giving him the finger lag.
A series of massive rounds from this guy.
It's G2 now.
How many guys have you got out?
Going to get a pretty well.
So timeout call from XLG will come through.
Try to steady things, but...
economy going to be in a shakier position.
Could be a buy down, Bucky's thing or something like that.
come in but take a look at the quality of the big swing condition and i mean i'm curious what
they're going to look to try to do off the back of this one because one of the big things that
was working so well for them was costly how many times we've done yeah that might be what he's
talking about here just some some ideas and how to maybe set up your spacing a little bit for
these post plants because again these flood retakes that g2 is going to be able to set up
with this composition are extremely scary. XLG pause. G2 convert bonus 9-6. Cutoff space to cutoff vision
and then explode into an area and take somebody out, you know, with that neon waylay. It can be
really, really tricky. Probably just calming the team down a little bit too. You had some
opportunities there to not give over that bonus, but a few shaky moments despite some
really good stuff at times from XLG today in terms of sharp mechanics.
Oh
The same shot
Yeah, the buggy insurance again big shot
Make it in quite landing there in town over wall drone tag hit will get revealed
From back out of throne of his own up and over the Harbor wall. It's a spot onto a couple of players
Blood they do backpuddles now here comes a drop down and sweat able to find a timing
Reading that he was being flanked out of that position ends up
Looking for another no scope this time won't be 20 to be ballon his turn to find the 3k his turn to take the lead
The big one right here because it cuts off the forces this time instead of using a grab well to dissect
I think this is my use this I saw these last chance to isolate
Better chance those flanks in front of it and then once that drops then you've got the
density of angles for yourselves for those crossfires to take into the into the
main really nice setups from G2 on this defender side
what's wrong with you bro?
I like the variety that I'm seeing
why are you spazzing out bro?
like the protocols that I'm seeing and now they're leading over B expecting a change
up in ideology from XLG
yeah
XLG actually still thinking that A could be their their money
we saw you bro
but they're just gonna go in towards the event initially but it's a TP back just
trying to bait some rotations out.
I suspect that this is such a pivotal round.
If XLG aren't able to find it here,
I can kick the back of G2 two rounds away from taking an after.
Five man A again.
And all the economy as well.
And a very low CP.
Three Coleman CP.
Check from Lysort.
Cancels him for now.
So throwing the lead forward.
Cosmic Divide going to be called in from happy way.
Joel, what a crazy play.
What the hell?
What an absolute shat!
He's to hold the site on his own 1v5!
Look at this!
He's 1v5 held the site!
Oh my god Ace!
What a beast bro!
What an absolute beast!
Nice.
I
Hope he just is saves here
Yes, it might have to all right. Just run away with it. They had us going in the first half
The time is just not there on a side ten seconds remaining
Just talking along the wall set up another smoke and try to stay not off the map here
Oh, he's sprinting in around the back
He pursues in a bit deeper might be able to find them
probably any luck that will dissipate Lysor holds his own to find a 3k and does nearly man should get that ace
That's cannot find the round win. Who's that's?
Well, I mean still Lysor looking sharp, but
It's it's all Valin. He just shuts this round by himself
It's all for this cosmic device because it's only leaving that small area in front of the bridge for the plant off of its angle
So he immediately counters with the reckoning and just pushes like if they're flooding very real item with this thing
They're going to be slowed up and I'm going to just come in and deal with them and
Then he has that follow-up smoke util to give himself that extra room of space so they could set up that crossfire outside of the main
beautiful
Great reactions again. How's the elimination on this?
There's four teams
Region that are already waiting in the playoffs and then four teams from this group stage that will fall by
for a total of eight
So, yeah, basically, there's four teams waiting there.
SLG, last pause.
Especially after what you saw, you know, against an RG,
we're actually able to make somewhat of a fight.
Who's waiting?
We've got one of a comeback there.
It's got all gamers for China.
This is just...
BBL for EMEA.
Especially on the same side.
Buria for America's.
And then Nongshim for APAC is the four.
When I was time out, I'm thinking Leaning B again.
Why not?
You know, if you could just leave two on A
You can lock it out anyway
Might as well, I love to see some kind of early aggression here. Well, it's how to lose this they will be 0-7
It's like maybe they're just and things are not looking any better
I mean that first half had to go on like I said
Now I'm not there doesn't have the old home on me to have baby bait with an operator
Tomorrow's my
See if you can
We don't have the draws yet but
The 1-1 games are going to be pretty crazy
Who's sitting at 1-1 right now? It's C1
NRG
The winner of this
And
Liquid, right?
That's pretty nuts
response so knows that he hasn't gotten himself into that position.
That 5v5 retake?
First half-time?
It's working!
The smoke gets valid as well as Trent gets taken down with a hunting sherry
It seems like this time the town I'll call working a treat as I leave well, it's worth very well that cubby the so-called
I'll take the part baby big stopping it from being a flawless, but we'll not be really
Cartoony for XLG
To rally their way back. How does it work? So well?
Yes, you can see the answers here for XLG is they know that
holding those deep post plants in a main isn't going to be effective against the
smoke. The way that they're able to fire those smokes.
This time with the cosmic device cutting off main. That we have to play a little bit on site so that means we have to create space at heaven at
Wolves to make sure that we have those extra angles that we can have a little
bit of a safer post plant so they're gonna commit extra resources to that
early extra bodies to that early so now we need to see kind of adjustment
G2 is considering G2 on a hotline
other than what Valon's doing Valon's searching yeah
Oh!
What?
He stayed out and killed him?
Oh my god
That killed and still not going to be leaning fully into a they want to explore in the mid once again ballon
Just around the corner
Almost certainly be dead to the right to the singer this range, but then again. Oh
Anything anybody can work a miracle with that guy. It wouldn't handle all be the one getting taken down
Conventional drift going to be invested ballon looking to try to get the class
You know the happy way we'll be able to do so get some stuff a weapon upgrade meanwhile, Raga
spotting out the two defending players
That one
Probably doesn't use it here the drone is big
Really old-time no man
Oh
No, they're dancing from this position.
The shots slayed and hold them back.
So the end there should be the cleanup.
Yeah. I mean, that was close as hell.
The fact I got a little sound at the end as well.
Running out of it though,
and no safe way to try to get a diffuse going.
This round will be Excel cheese.
There's no man finds the three K three more rounds to go.
And they'll be tying us up.
And it's looking really nice.
mid pressure
XLG able to create
Really disruptive guess a weaker buy. Oh my god here
Refract position
Just suck that no one there to like no man cover having to smoke that day
I'm gonna buy Leo on that back side to really buy some time delay delay delay with his utility
All right, I want to see more of that then no man keep it up bullbys here
here. Four ultimates available
though for G2.
Double dashing forward from
spot anybody. Happy way. If I
know the fight. Slide across
the last slide. Plants his feet.
Actually is able to clean up
the kill. It's on. That takes
down Raga and now the days
is there. Saturated from the
This time needs a 4k
Why G2 will be getting themselves up to map point. There's the first looks for the second won't be able to have it shut him down G2
One around away from closing out their opponent's map pick of a this great adjustment here from G2 starting to push
No management silence
You know if your opponent is gonna commit a lot of bodies towards mid that's gonna open up some space for you to send a little bit of
Pressure on the extremities and that is exactly what G2 does
And it's really really nice there and you have jog a modus slide pass to set you
player
Situations last chance duty way any chance to make any hero plays
Here comes a big one
There's a huge setup coming
I'm just a bit finally trying to attack into the speed side Hunter's here. You're gonna be opened up
We'll find one a piece the dualists are gone. There's an entry power that dives dispatched
And so we're still yet with the problem happening too fast for my eyes to find a kill
Jogamo
Maybe able to find this spike, but it seems like they're wise to this
Staring at this position
the timing is so nuts. Oh my god. His number needs so much more. Big damage. The fact takes
baby out to safety, saturate close just in case the counter swing is coming through.
And happy way in life sort. In the top two performance for the squad thus far on this
map. I'm not going to lie. The first half of this game was kind of exciting, but
the second half was okay just yeah I believe take him out of screen
13-8 G2
struggling in that first half but they look like a competitive game for a little bit
they take down XLG on XLG's map pick
yeah you really have to be impressed with some of the protocols and some of the
big ideas that you have especially with this Harbor for G2
now Haven gonna be coming up next the desk was assured that this was going to
be the pick of G2 it is
Let's see if they can close it out or vexel g can fight back and take us to map three
Yeah that fell apart quick i'm not gonna lie that fell apart hella quick
I feel it i thought they had something to store for us for a second they had me fooled
you
Goal again?
You've got a minute on the clock.
Okay.
And uh, go ahead and start.
Tacky bear.
Is that your view?
Wow!
Oh!
Off the rip!
He just got it straight away.
Alright.
I don't know if that's just it yet.
Yeah.
If Vans got game knowledge or if it's just good drawing either way.
He's using that too much in game.
Well it seems like the synergy is going really well for you guys.
First floor is 2-4.
2-4 damn.
She's going really well for you guys
Crossloader 2-4
2-4 damn
A high scoring game
He's back.
Y'all 0-4 in the first line? Damn.
instead of the Yoru. I mean Andre, baby Bay assured me that that first match was
a one-off. He just had to get out of the system. Just a lot of throws. It is what it
is, but it's a nice game for him to bounce back on. And two, Neon over Yoru.
I mean I kind of gave Alex his his choice of like what what duelist do you
want. Because right now it's the duelist meta and like we just want to
have different players and something that's like really hard to like deal
with so he picked neon I mean it's neon or your and we we thought neon's not bad
actually we got inspiration from another team and I like it's I think it'll
work for us thank you so much and good luck damn all right with G2 picks up
the way I gotta say the most baby-bay thing for him to say I imagine it
No, Josh, bro. No, dude, I was the one off.
It's all good. And next time, I got you.
That's like, literally how it probably happened.
But hey, he had him, and it was a great performance
from the way they four baby babe, but really, though,
sideshow, the talk of the town was the harbor going into the game.
And it seems like, that's why the harbor coming out of it
was playing quite well.
Yeah, I mean, you don't even need to start.
The idea, the theory was all really, really good.
It was the best harbor in terms of the idea.
I'm going to go stand outside and tell everybody
They were playing it. I love the way the bottom is playing on the defense side as well
Which is where we've seen most of the Harbors strife
Yeah, very well done. The usage of all of the utility pieces was easily the best
The alt value on those repushes back into that A site on defense
He just completely nullified a hit with the Astro wall pushes up close. They totally lock out XLG
Yeah, the defensive game plans really were sick
And also you had individuals that were popping off that takes us to our HyperX reflex moment of the day
And this one's got to go to the dog Jogamo because he decides that he wants to go for first, second, third, and heck, why not?
I got some force, Damiang, and he does so in such quick fashion.
Crucial ride as well.
Dude, Lysor is barely on his screen. It's just like an effect behind the camera.
I mean, yeah. I love the pushes though.
pushes though. And the theme continues of George is having his best run of games with
the scene this year just after going back to the dualists he's more comfortable with
a little bit more dynamic in some ways. I like the neon as well because I think you
know they're playing a flood defense and retake style. You don't need the yoru for the early
fighting because they're just going to allow the exit to happen and then either quick
retake or flood defend them anyway. The neon makes perfect sense. I kind of like this
idea of like what are we gonna throw here? Are we gonna play your room? Could we play
a neon? It sounds like that's maybe somewhere that they want to go with that, which I think
is quite fascinating. Also, too, we were seeing some great plays from Baby Bay as we had talked
about. Jen had asked Josh about that. He was reassured. No, guys, I got this covered.
And hey, I'm glad you did, buddy, because look at the stats there. I mean, why? It's
a huge difference from that first game. Yeah, I'm really not going to give you a deep dive
on any particularly crazy aspect of his play, how he's pathing around the map. Bro, you just
looked at him on the camera, you watched his POV, his aim was just on point today. He's actually
just feeling comfortable, the aim is looking good. That's really it. He was looking at him in the
Baby Rex game and it was like, I don't know, he just wasn't in there for some reason. But I do
agree with what he said to Josh R.R.T. It's probably just a one-off. I don't think he's
he's gonna be volatile and go back down to that level.
I think this is more what you expected.
I will say though, you've already come out of the game
with a bit of a stinker.
So at this point now, you have to only just continue
to add on from there if your baby base.
Impressions on, I think it's safe to say
he's a tough man.
Is it the main crossword?
This is the perfect game to get the bounce back.
It is, it really is.
And that is it.
But let's go ahead and ship the conversation
over the XLG.
The login is going on over there
because coming into this one, why, we were like,
hey, they just need to get four or five rounds.
They got six on the defense.
Yeah, they've got a pistol, they get several other rounds, like actually being proactive, having defense protocols where they're pushing down the extremities on retakes, they actually have players flanking, they're taking so much more map control on defense, this was a great half of them, it felt like they were sent to get the wing.
Obviously in hindsight, we know that G2 just had phenomenal defensive game plans. Yeah, ultimately shut them down
but
Another hopeful take away
They made some good changes they made adaptations
He's gonna lose his dang mind over here people well
Let's see what's going on with the coach of XLG.
We had Jen and Opportunity to catch over them ahead of map 2.
XLG coach, any signs of hope?
Here with Havoya of XLG.
Now coach, Haven is coming up next.
Just wanted to ask you, were you guys
able to make your Haven stronger after the energy
series?
And what were the discussion around it?
We are going to be totally different today,
comparing our last match of Heaven.
So you're going to see on the stage how it goes.
And hopefully it's going to be way more different.
And finally I can recognize my team from Amis
and we've become more ballsy
and I hope my guys are going to step up now.
All right, thank you so much and good luck on Haven.
I like him.
He asked for his players to be a bit more ballsy.
I like that.
We saw that a little bit in that defensive side.
So you need to see them why
and extract that a little bit more going into this one.
Did I hear him right and saying
that they're going to do something completely different?
They're going to be a different team?
Oh, I hope!
Yeah, I don't think he means the comp, but I think he means that stylistic shot.
Yes, because they were ultra-passive on their defense,
and you don't want to be playing a ton of retakes on Haven.
No.
The amount of times they had to go for like five on fives over towards that A side,
you do not want to find yourself in that situation nearly as often as they were.
But again, just to return back to this, yes, the defense side...
Oh, Joe!
Yes, that is some cope that maybe they'll play the defense of Haven better,
But then, when they got on the attack, G2 had already anticipated the strength of XLG and neutralized it utterly.
I mean, that attack's outside. They got almost nothing done.
At least also to the credit of XLG. If you address the individuals, which we haven't yet,
Lysor stepping up again.
Okay, there we go. I just want to...
Happy Ways aimless superb, acid, Rargas. No man was hitting some shots here and there too.
So I don't think they're out of individual form in the macro.
Phoenix, you're right.
I just think the individual stuff with the arm is going to be
With this cop, you know, it's a cop that they nicked from paper X. Yeah
It's all about individual stuff
Their attack side calling was great when they played this car previously
They were able to go in really hard-hitting
Executes around job with this Phoenix and then later in that half use them to sell fakes
They were really working that back so many you should never see 100% defense
Spin-off!
I hope I'm the one-sided today, unfortunately.
It's kind of like a, I forget if it was day one or day two.
I think day one was one-sided, right?
Yeah.
Um...
Yeah, hopefully it turns around here, but yeah, it's from the one-sided.
No way.
Yeah, I'll take it.
looked electric with this new comp with this stylistic change and that's just to
push it into that third final decider map of breeze otherwise we will be
saying goodbye. Alright last chance XOG wake up.
Comp on the defender side because of your ability to take fights at some
tough angles especially around the Phoenix in the order with those flashes
you can use it against some of that Viper Util to cut through it to kind
of slow up some of the attacks you don't want to go through and deal with the back layers as well
if we've got some good plans for that oh god you know I'm purple out oh god oh god
he runs him down we've got at the same time oh my god the pace oh i'm sorry my bad my bad my bad
self-jeep pumping the brakes a little bit not just storming the way forward into the sea site
We'll be sent through baby bank
scaling forward as that smoke
dissipates with Roger gets the
better of him checks in trying to
go to the side for now and we'll
be able to cut him down.
I'm going back to it.
I'm going to go to it.
I'm going to go away with another
pistol round win.
It's going to be a full pivot
across the A site.
Yeah, good call on the pivot
here.
You know there's at least one
there, so at worst.
I went all in on G2 and
and someone replied to you and said, well, you're a real risk
digger.
You can open up a bit of space, and they have just a lot easier
on yourselves.
But two healthy players on G2, a long work from Valin,
but an alarm bot there to check him.
So good diligence being shown.
Good patience with hanging on to some of that util.
OK, flank is noted.
Has been alerted to.
And the other choice just has to clear it.
his way down on heaven.
Turret set up as well.
Let's get that further alert.
Trent has already been eliminated.
He's looking for the key.
KJ on that drop.
Jump across, but no match.
He'll be able to play elusively.
Val, I'm gonna be good for one,
but I'm gonna have to 3K.
Okay, XLG.
Run a fast track that lock down on XLG.
Deep on the top of another pistol.
Yeah, just keeping it a little bit simple here
for XLG.
Able to avoid any damage from, you know,
a pretty nice curve ball.
It's because you're just a step ahead of it as Rarga.
It doesn't get caught by it at all
the neon and he's in to just slide past with the frenzy man. I'm just
hanging on to that. KJU tilt things all the easier three piece for no man.
He's letting them know we got another three K.
Do not get equal to here. I saw G.
Just a bucky for leaf. Just draw them up.
Jaws back in those orbs.
Do that shing infercitation. Gather orbs as quickly as one can.
Try to get the fast track on the alt.
They're going to be passive about this.
Those shotguns there, if there's some patients.
Why do we have a Leaf on Earth?
You can do anything.
You might get a little bit of value out of them.
He's America's forsaken.
Baby Bay 2, see what Leaf has in store for us.
The smoke is going to fall, so it
has to drift back around the corner,
because nobody cleared this drone for him.
And then we'll just be battling with a shorty.
They even luck.
The corner, now they haven't confirmed.
It's got no way to get out of this position,
but it looks like XLG don't really
Yeah
45 seconds
Time is taken garage with that shorty. They know he's stuck there still trying to hold tight angles
They have a good idea that enough to see if they can
Uh-oh, he's so screwed more value of these close range guns, but leaf hasn't moved the muscle
No easy way to clear that recon if Allen won't be able to make much happen with that
shot.
Double flanks here.
We'll find one.
Swing around the back.
Hold on, gonna be scooped up for Jogamo.
Cut it down, but you can get with it.
He's down to 42 and doesn't have the U till try to heal himself back up.
Is there a match tomorrow?
Yes.
The one run game there tomorrow.
Double flanks here.
Double swing out from the site.
Lysor will be able to collect a kill onto the Phoenix.
Some big bait.
Doubled up here inside of the garage, will swing in.
Lysor will collect all four kills for himself.
And at the 2-0 start, a very clean one for XLG.
That's exactly what they need once again to start the map.
They can keep that momentum going.
Just great patience there, anticipating.
Is there a draw for this? There should be, yeah.
Yeah, gonna be around those corners around those angles they dealt with every single layer of it very nicely even had a little bit of back up there
For Raga when he gets flashed. We need some assignments in this game
Can I get a three like a woman one team? I just have a crazy really clean efficient stuff
You know stick it together as a team working together as a team coordination seems good
See if now G2 can disrupt that a bit
I can find themselves a bonus conversions to be monstrous for them to run them their way back into this
I'm going to get this baby bank
back. Uh oh. Swing on the corner
and Rog is going to find him
before he can even TP out.
How much damage can be found?
Leon still at 85 health.
It's tough. That's a critical
five before that creates a lot
of problems for G2 now. So
you're gonna have to throw
body. Phoenix is not so common.
We see. We see Phoenix on
Haven but generally yeah, it's
I think PRX and G2 might be a couple of the only teams, right?
That's what we're talking about, man!
Once again
And if you're a guy he's scratching your head wondering what the hell just happened
Finds a job here. I think we just don't find them for him to ace
But now they have his position noted despite still strong here outside of window
Trent looks forward. Oh
Trance in the corner. I got one to try to isolate him find this kill will be able to do so
I mean he honestly did some damage
five HP. Get that ace off.
Go with separate ways.
Dragomov on the prowl.
I was wanting to try to get the catch.
No!
White bottom to the box.
Okay.
Fallen is there.
Situated on the C site to clean it up.
It does get messy.
They lose three players.
So damn it.
They didn't do the couple yet in there.
XLG cannot find the bonus conversion.
Check this out.
Oh, again, those.
The last two.
Those curve balls, but those last two shots are outrageous from Dragomov.
Oh damn. Oh my. When he hits, it just seems like he's going to take a round for you.
He's going to find that 3k, that 4k. Now he's got the ult.
Chopped on there, Ford Leaf, he's got to judge. He's going to be posted up in a garage.
Kind of saving low key a little bit.
One of the things about this comp as a fade, you're oftentimes left on your own at long A.
Your protocols in your ability to kind of escape danger have to be really really good
You can see the XLG wants to try to put some pressure there to see if they can get a little bit of space on a now
They drone back for us a patient with it
We've denied that control
Judge is going to be in play just the other side of that door. Well, I thought you forced the situation here very cautiously
I'm going to go back to A, no control, what are your thoughts on if you take damage before
you die to spike, you give the kill and the orb until the guy who did damage to you, no.
I think it's fine
It's already gone absolutely squandered it
As soon as they run into that job
You're trying to hold on to these weapons
G2
More players surviving tie it up to you to kill that you can see the understanding that G2 has of the push and pull of this
Composition on the map
Give up too much as that fade you have that trademark there at the top of sewers
They had no space and they tried walking into the stack, they canceled it too late and then yeah.
They were just getting info on how G2 rotated the top of the loss.
and then the grab well as well.
So it's really difficult.
They wanted to bait it out,
but then they made that decision to pivot
and then there's that final piece of the puzzle
for G2 with that shotgun.
Oh, into the time.
I saw G early pause.
It's a win condition.
I mean, the boy in the coach interviews,
said he wanted the players to play a bit more ballsy.
And so far, I mean,
we've seen some intelligent play from them,
pumping the brakes when they knew
there's gonna be shotguns on the other side,
playing into that anti-eco.
Clearly they're aware of how G2 makes a position here,
but it seems like those last little moments
Just trying to just send it into a site respecting that sees Molly a bit too much
Then trying to go for a pivot and miss reading and losing track of leap ends up costing them
So I'm really expected a boy is getting in there reminding them of the tendencies of G2
And he's probably wanting them to be a little bit more proactive in the early part of the round
It's just taking a little bit more talk about it was heated now. They're pausing cuz I'm so bad, bro
You're coping my boy seconds 15 seconds on that clock when they pivot back towards B
What was the reason an evil man play through?
That is a great question dude.
That's a great question.
How many hours does that game take to beat?
G2.
Just gonna move the trademark a little bit.
You go for XLG.
Hold on.
be pretty rough here for leave us here he pushed the way for the catch
ballon pushes forward fills that space no exactly where Lysos ended up
happy big happy way we'll pitch pushes way forward happy day
you took the enemy astra trying to gain this space control on the sea site
here's the squad quick shot happy way gonna be taking down the leap still
here still fighting it's good okay okay okay okay
little scrappy all good you found silver linings at raga never got the
opportunity to pop that overdrive since it still does have it it gets into a sticky situation.
I love the protocols here. Leaf going to push further forward. Happy day. Happy Gilmore.
To back out Valin is that extra layer to cover even though Rarga is able to get through. He took a
bunch of damage on the way in maybe they get there with the outlaw to help secure the round.
So good coordination again. The big thing here for G2 today is that mental game and the
Okay, full by now.
That was something that was absolutely killing them against Paper Rax.
Let's see what the call is.
The speed planet is starting to go and there you go, gravy bacon.
The dry peak into Long A.
That's the only operator in hand in Happy Wake.
He's been the hero more often than I've been on this squad.
Even up.
Let's be taken down from the very nice clue of garage from no man.
See it's here.
Valens alone, Joss Sudding.
The knock-start here on this yore is just the one kill we found thus far.
For the entry.
Oh!
Instantaneous with that one.
Traded.
I'm on nearly able to stay alive.
OK, they have to see back.
Wait, does that?
Leo just tucked into the company.
Does that fly to him?
He said now to a 2B3.
Oh my god, I was on the line up.
Oh my god.
Leo, no man out there.
He scales all the way out of a lobby.
This is all down to Lysor.
Does Lysor win these?
He's two to try to clutch this up.
Let's see what he plays.
He knows we're both in just four.
Yes.
So he has a little bit of intel, gotta go for the plant, I'll hate it.
AXE P
He's gonna hear both of them now.
Wow, what a shot.
What a kill and try!
What is that?
in G2
Stretching the lead now up 4 to 2.
Same kills by both of them.
Ah, heck of an attempt here by XLG.
It's a pretty good stuff.
Oh, a chamber.
Maybe it all did?
Did he?
Almost has two.
Actually didn't hear it.
He's dropped down to half.
I was too lost in that last one.
I'm going to get down that swing by Trent.
Huge, baby big.
Maybe it was a misclick.
Great job expecting the re-aggression off the clear.
I don't know if the caster's noticed either.
Swapped guns there too.
Went over to the phantom, found one on the ground.
It's really nice on the fly decision making there from a lot of different players on G2
Trent just barely able to win that last one against Lysot. He did pop the tour de force
So he had that long-range option just in case so we'll not have that but
Nothing reminds me walk by leaf. That's a plenty
Now I was going to be useful get this hurt, but he aside from Raga. He's got deep space though
Once again is going to be looking to try to utilize this overdrive. Oh
My god
They're smoking the tritz?
Yeah!
Oh!
And he's out! And he's out!
That is nuts.
That might have been overplayed, but...
There'll be three.
Ooh, shut down.
It's quite individual, right? Raga's running on a loan.
Only waiting for a short while Viper lyrics be.
He doesn't have a timing on baby there.
Those who get caught?
Oh, it's lucky. Leaves can't be killed.
Leaves too strong.
These rounds are weird. These rounds are quite weird.
Close-up on baby.
Okay.
position to really even start these runs. And the thing is is even though Leaf takes that one player
wow it's just pro-activist from G2. He gets out and then they immediately
re-aggressive the stewards because they know that that's where you're gonna want to plant
that lockdown from no man. They want to prevent that before it even has a chance of getting
through. You're cutting the ults away from XLG before they can even use them putting
Putting the back onto the eco.
Yeah, it's on a window a little bit.
Oh, he's on.
Clear of the recon, baby bay.
Panic jump, a lot of shot from no man.
Shutting down leaf.
Yeah.
That's been not going to be
recoverable here for the moment,
but that is a very critical opening.
This trend has taken some forward space.
Vandal at hand.
Larmbot will have heard that come back online,
so should know that they're going to be
trending towards this side of the map.
You know cognizant though of the space that's given up the wall raised the power to chase
There's the clear. There's the overdrive coming through the blind. Can they vlog is still able to find it goes out of 4hp narrowly survived
3d5 are they going yeah, Jaws here
Line here on the site
Send up the Molly the curve ball through
the bolt and Jogbo. Oh you got him blind
No, it's not down, but such shit. It's out 2v2 KJ split as a flank on baby. Is he aware the number situation?
But do they read the where man on the approach will have eyes on baby day and he will have him dead the rights
I mean you can even drive a knife. Oh my god. I'm almost given away
KJ what have been
Interesting sounds feeling aware
Of course he is I'm gonna expire
watching for the flank and I for an eye critical timing to get this into a 1v1
on the other side tucked away down below and he will be able to find an
astrakark drifting for XLG to win their third round big stuff here popping that
all even though you get team blinded by
my life so I let you pop it by that I keep scraping my microphone with my
I'm laughing at a couple different things here that round that we're kind of a little bit wonky, but you know what you get through it
Even though jog again almost pulls off another 4k that could have been a difference maker
Big 30 that's gonna be a big sigh of relief from the coaching booth
Especially there is another consecutive win
You're finally getting into maybe doing some damage to the economy of G2. He knows about one about the fall
But happy wages pulls back out to safety. It's got the line now here though as G2
So you could play further back you could play a little bit more retaker anti pressure like we saw on heart on a
Abyss with the harbor where you find out where that
Has Phoenix old as well
Throw the run it back at it. Use the cosmic divide to cut it.
Double low garage while they hit C.
I don't think they quite got the Spocker on the ballon.
Omen all canceled.
Get down to TP over the back side.
Jog them out. Just going to be snapped back to the ultimate, but not before.
He's able to find no-man, so now that lockdown unable to come into play.
Be winged. Leading the charge. Scaling toward, but this Nebula about to dissipate.
He is right up into the open.
Not going to cut it. Saw both.
Big quick work of him.
Jump peeks to find the other players.
Now, once again, Lysar.
They're trying to clutch it out, but it's just 16 HP and a 1v3.
Oh, boy, oh boy.
This is not going to cut it, man.
It has the hot reveal.
They know that they have him completely boxed in.
This is not going to cut it.
They'll clean it up and G2, get up to six.
Yeah, again, it's just a good read
at the beginning of the round here by Valin.
I think they might go see.
Let's put our heavy stack that side
That's some of the alts that we could potentially utilize. I thought the idea though need you to divide there because they just cut it down to size with
you know chagamos also
Good stuff just great great planning and yeah
boy is probably just
Wondering how am I gonna fix this how am I gonna fix this is crazy
Happy way is a shotgun. There's a viper half by a fast day. They should also be pasting just rush
Look at John holy shit
Find that kill now sets up the wall tucks away into the corner meanwhile leaf is still applying pressure from a main
Oh my God
One of them.
Yo, what is happening?
2v2.
1v2.
I honestly, I feel bad for the developers.
Wait a minute.
Wait a damn minute.
Oh my God, he's wasting the house.
This is shot and G2.
I mean, Happywood can't be walking back into this.
He cannot be walking back into the Alts.
I know what time it's at, but we just
can't be walking back into the Alts.
It's so much into this round.
And they just can't get it to go.
Well, that's troll, eh?
A little bit scuffed here for a couple of players.
Pull that shotgun through to try to save a little bit
extra cash for this pit.
And it almost works for Happyway.
Leaf just in time and moved out of that corner.
Happy way would have got him because he probably would have body blocked him and then just shot him, but.
He's quite there.
That one's starting to feel it.
G2 across the board, starting to feel it.
The swinging.
Wow, he's brand new.
He's holding the slide.
Bady Vayne, Raga, dead on the rip.
They look to try to pull him up.
Y'all with a flash.
The Chagomo has this size on the block.
You cannot play against these Phoenix out in mid.
Hey guys. Oh, we lost like to use to tear them limb from limb
Malice Hall really comes down to no man being able to pull up a miracle with this lurk
He's slinked his way all the way through that sea site around towards your pickings that I thought you going through
Now I'm tucked into the corner goes on red happy way caught off guard and now no man is in no man's land
in the middle of the game.
You should be no world.
He doesn't get anywhere.
You would think maybe behind you,
maybe get the catch area.
We'll be able to find the headshot.
He's four more of those.
We're going to clutch scenario of the operator,
not necessarily the weapon that you would love to have.
Full flash connecting clone over to the side.
Oh my god.
Stop it.
Cut the cameras.
Oh, dearie me.
They've had enough, man.
Oh boy.
You know you've got him.
And you're just going to go for the style points.
Are you going to try to take our off?
Cool story.
I can bring a knife to this gun fight.
Oh boy.
I can bring a knife to this gun.
Oh boy.
It's the second right click, but eventually we're able to drive that dagger into the heart of no man, potentially into the hearts.
Oh boy. Oh boy.
And the Chinese fans.
Oh, great shutdown.
Maybe I'm able to find that opening pick Leo.
The hell of a shot, the trench which is forward into that fast lane finds the kill.
Finds a kill on a Varga the hunters fury from Leo frantically searching trying to find where he ended up the same time jogamot
So I'm in his way. Oh 140 get some damage him, but cannot confirm the kill snaps back
With the run it back in life. I'm spotted and dealt with
Oh my god
Just on the opposite side the wall to fall
spot out there to spray down Jogamote far too wise to it if they want to try to
rotate out Valin is watching the exit exactly and if they try to keep pushing
a that means that that util is now not gonna be available to confirm the crowd
is communicating to the teams with these sounds they're making personally I
can't decipher it I'm gonna post up they're giving they're giving something
away I just don't know what I haven't got to the bottom of it
you
Couldn't make it happen on their map pick and now they are looking at a six-rounded deficit
Because they shift over to the defending side of this map G2 have been running laps around them. All right
9-3 I'll take you point on this Phoenix. Oh, he's been a job and it's only one round right now
in the anti-eco
That XLG found but it's all because a jog that Phoenix is
He's so oppressive in the way he utilizes it.
He pilots it, and he can't connect on the Leo there.
I'm gonna start cycling the Orbs, but he's just so good with the curveballs.
There you go.
Push them off.
Just finally get a shot.
She knows that shit.
Well, I got no one falling there.
Okay, mid push by Rarga.
The mid push out into mid for the Prowler is there.
We're here somehow!
Get two from 1HP!
Cougarone still gonna go pushy for it, big vake gets a piece of the pie as no man will be taken down.
Are we missing all the kills or what?
The advantage is in the hands of G2.
I'm missing this too, to be fair.
We're pretty far away from joining up alongside Happy Way.
The person's gone?
Happy Way's where?
Bandit?
Ooh, Dennis.
Oh my god.
Yes, D'Art.
Off angle and swan.
And Jaws pushing garage to the mouth.
Oh my god, Jaws flanking.
He was timing so good.
on the flag
Tracking that ultimate of 3k in the pistol double digits now for G2
Heartbreaking
This is tomorrow
I was gonna give him the opportunity
He gets those two kills
But it's just not enough
Yeah
frustration
Oh man knows they miss the chance missed an opportunity
To get its jog
With another multi-kill round to put himself up to 18 18 8 and one alright, bop it up. GCU. I
Know what America's casters wife who is very happy with this performance
For XLG
Damn near anybody else the other side of the stage
TP forward
gaining that space and finding a kill happy way is going to be taken down over
yo ruggers raise the ice taking them apart
suddenly it is just like so with the classic to see if you can stop this from being a flawless
leap has the spot
spike planted it down to go home meant to do not much it's gonna eat crowd together
to see who they can try to hand this kill to and will be leaked to claim it in the end.
Lawless on the anti-eco 11 to 3.
Oh my goodness.
Nice discipline from G2.
Immediately get through those crossfires.
Using that U-Till to slow down the initial hit.
Again, so good today with their U-Till.
when those floods or when those executes come through that there's a piece of
utile there cut it in half it's a good confidence loose for g2 probably right
surgery you'd imagine so
you'd be done by g2 prepare them for tomorrow's games
this lg desperately need this round to say the least
there's so much more behind it it's just the first step on a very long
track. Oh, no man, brother.
Back to the elbow. Okay, no man.
Fine. Now you want to push out there and just immediately falls back to the safety of his
utile.
The corner. I think he's going to be looking to maybe send the salt here.
Get any kind of rise any mid exploration from XLG that he could punish.
Oh my God.
check Leo in the spot out on
Lee check in the corner.
Here's who I'm going to get much
value out of the alt there.
Leap poking in front.
He's trying to sell this as an
A hit for now.
It does have three players on
the side of the map, but it
looks like the rest are going
to be joining in alongside him,
given how much space he has
gained. Still looks be all the
way. Oh my gosh, y'all
finds one quick punish.
Roger sends out some shots
to get some damage through
Now happy way really needs to be the one that's gonna hold the line. Oh so much damage in response
So down to 35 now the ultimate is gonna be snapping him back into the corner
It's a little bit faster finds a headshot. It's a second
As he wants this bonus conversion
I was doing a brawl.
No men in Lysor
They have to win this out they have to clutch it up
The Jogamo will continue to dissuade him.
You already have a back to his old.
No man's 30 HP, should he save?
Should be safe.
He just committed the ult, he's already half way to the next one.
Yeah.
He is just so electric.
11-3 save walking through.
He's just great with the decision-making, okay?
Well, man does collect one at the end, takes Leaf out.
A formality.
An absolute formality.
And now you're at match point.
Nine in a row.
It's what XLG needs to try to force this into an overtime.
Pull me in, dude.
Pull me in!
Something very curious happened, but it is going to be XLG calling a timeout off
the back of this, it's just so damn dominant.
So patient, fading out those rotations away from the site where they can channel their
energy back into that, that site, get the value out of the alt at least to figure out
a position and then he just goes away.
I was a player I'm tilted bro, he won't tell me now, it's done dude, he won't tell
me something now.
Too late.
Perhaps the final Coinbase win condition.
Early down, early down.
pay him out. This has to be this is unjinxable. You know one of the greatest
speeches. Coach is giving the goodbye speech. One of the best reads. That's more likely.
To try to rally this one back. I mean we have seen miraculous comebacks but right
now it just feels like all the gas is out of the tank for XLG.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how they're gonna stop G2. The coach was
right we are seeing a different haven from XLG. W Rage Bay YouTube chatter.
You're so comfortable in your stuff.
W-Hitch, babe.
That outlaw, a couple of players are going to have
little shields, though, three out of the five.
He's going to one-tap everybody.
But it's that militia guy.
XLG do not come back to China.
You're going to stay together here in XLG.
Do not.
Look all their chips onto the A side.
Pitch forks and kitchen knives,
whatever they can fight with.
Bit more impact than that, but sweeping out into long,
Maybe get they not gonna be able to find a shot. No, okay. It's a good amount of damage
They're just gonna have to say tucked into the corner now
Nebula it's popped so he has
The same time able to go on the chase for players behind this one. Oh paranoia goes across you got away
What a shot
Oh my god, someone stop John, bro.
The curve ball knows that he's surrounded.
Now he tries to peel off the pressure.
Oh my god, he almost got it.
He'll still be able to collect two.
He's sent back to even numbers, but the spike has been planted during the chaos.
What?
With Trent now all the way over into B.
I don't know.
I think as well.
Now into C main.
As that band will push him out, the critical kill found happy way.
Give them a lifeboat back into this
This is gonna throw them to my watch
Oh my god, what the heck
That's the top of the Ripple Clutch
13-3 G2
Oh my god
I mean the first handle is big though
First time I've ever been to a business
I can't lie
I thought it was about to be a close series
And boy was I fooled
Oh it's close now
This new G2 has legs to it. They're gonna continue on find out who they're gonna face shortly, but
You know, definitely this is a big one for them getting that confidence
Getting this dominant in on Haven. I think it's gonna really right their mental for whoever they face next
And unfortunately for XLG it feels like even still with another exposure to this global stage
They're just unable to find that footing the best that they looked versus energy on that abyss
But we just didn't see that from them again when they got to that attacker
So I should be seeing this rose after this interviewer to be done more development to be had before G2
If they are now finding their form whoever they get drawn against
Shouldn't be shaking in their boots because they're looking much improved
Big shout out to baby Bay stepping up to the plate where he fell short in their opening series looking much more steady
here today oh god yeah he had a really nice one leaf was great everybody was
great on g2 today everybody really pitching in contributing balance
harbor was the best we see this new iteration of the agent by far yeah we
haven't seen much of it we're minor exposures yeah but even with the
unbucked harbor some people were still playing it but he looked brilliant
talkable of course what else can you say yeah I've been chopped 394 ACS in that
last map let's go ahead and send it down and hear from the players of Ryzen
post-match interview.
One more time for Keros!
Keros wins this game!
And I want to talk to Baby Ray first,
because he made a promise to me.
Baby Ray, how are you doing?
You hate to see me coming, right?
We had an interview and you promised me
that you were going to speak Spanish.
If you qualified to enter Santiago,
worse than Spanish.
No!
No, I'm Andre.
Okay.
Give me something.
You said that you were on the worst map.
I love you Chile!
That's all right.
He was the one who put me in a little bit of trouble.
You saw what happened.
So now for my second question.
You said that you were in a lot of internationals.
But now, as a player, you're the rookie in Valorant.
Yeah, I'm feeling pretty comfortable. I mean, we had to play like one of the strongest teams in the first match
That was kind of rough, but we knew we were gonna bounce back, you know, so I'm feeling good on the stage
And let's make a run
Yeah, for me. And well, it's already been the first international tournament that Didi Dei has been in
And it's already been in other tournaments, but Valorant is the rookie
He finally says that he felt very very comfortable inside what was the stage
Obviously, he played the first game that was very complicated, but he wants to make that run
They want to get to what the players are, so now for my last question, that first match
was tough match, you said it, but what did you guys didn't have that you had in this
stage today so you could win this match?
I think we had a lot more discipline and I think that's that show today.
I think we were running it down a little too hard against PRX and the other team
that normally runs it down, they weren't running it down at all.
So you know, you live and you learn, we fix that and yeah we want that run back.
I want to get PRX again.
That would be so cool.
I was also asking you how you're going to do it tomorrow?
Let's see the matches.
Now, if they could present in this stage,
basically, they would be able to do the same thing.
They would be able to do the same thing.
Now, they could do it again, but they would love to do it again.
They would be able to do the same thing.
That's crazy out there.
You can now go and take pictures with the fans.
But now, ladies and gentlemen, we're going straight
to the Drash show this time correct don't you worry because we have back up
Senoras y señores tenemos lo que va a hacer este Drash show a continuación para
jodir with a backup brass so I'm here with Nick and Karika
from comp ops Nick give me the pleasure to give out the rules for the people
everybody so we'll be doing the draw for the one in one teams to advance the
playoffs the winners of these matches will advance the losers will be
eliminated from the competition there's a couple of rules with this
So first no repeat matches allow so in our situation that would only be T1 and T1
TL cannot be matched up okay pretty sure for the regional matches are allowed
My chickens are cooked, but also that's just so nice
Also the course okay, so the first match is going to be on the first row
And then the second drawing will be on the second. Oh, yeah
You got this do not fuck this up
Let's see the first, the second goal was low.
With the third, we will see the first goal and the fourth goal.
G2 and RG is impossible because you can't get G1 to be liquid.
Oh, you're right, you're so right, you're so right, you're so right.
So what possibilities do we have?
We can get G2 liquid or G2 G1.
That's basically what it is.
Let's see who's the first one.
50-50.
Okay.
Oh God, Nick has PTSD in his eyes.
That's below.
We're not gonna have an America's match.
No, I'm not gonna have a match in America's.
So now, let's see who's gonna be the opponent.
It wasn't his fault, I know.
I'm just controlling it.
Vamos a ver quién va a ser el oponente de Jero.
Señora, sí, señores.
Let's see who are we.
¿Quién le gusta ayer de fuera?
Okay.
Let's see, let's see who it is.
G2's prepared right here.
And it's T1. Oh shit. Oh shit, son. Oh shit, son. We got Bangkok all over again.
And we know that Tim Liquid is gonna be playing against Energy. Sabemos que Tim Liquid va a estar jugando contra NRG.
So those are our matches later this year.
I just pretty high.
Kiko versus the old team as well.
Kiko was on liquid, yeah he was.
Yeah, it's actually great.
That's perfect.
Can you go ahead and also talk about the schedule?
Hey everybody, so just as a reminder,
this is not the final matchup order.
And in approximately 10 minutes,
we'll be sharing the matchup order
if it's going to be TLT1 first,
or energy and TL first.
So please follow on social media.
Thank you very much.
Recordando que estos no son los match-ups de horarios oficiales para estar posteando
en 10 minutitos en las redes sociales a que horario va a ser cada partido.
So now this is all from us.
Thank you very much, Curiqui.
Thank you very much.
This is not accurate potentially.
Gracias a todos los que estuvieron por acá.
But stay tuned because tomorrow we're discovering who's advancing to playoffs.
Okay.
I'm not going to lie to the one...
All right.
Today was a wash, man.
That has to be said.
Today was a wash.
like both series were just just not just not it but tomorrow I think we're guaranteed for some
good games because even if the matches tomorrow are stumps it'll be a surprise this was not these
were not really too much of a surprise today but I think these games will be close elimination
I need G2 and NRG for my pickums
There's a chance both of them get knocked out.
Low key NA clears?
I don't know.
I think so though.
I think NA will win.
I'm worried about which match is more worrisome.
I would say like who's
D2 vs D1 you guys think?
I got stethes
you
