I
and this is season two of Tank Coach.
Here you will learn all about vehicle types and their roles.
Today, we'll talk about the most versatile warriors in the game.
This episode is about medium tanks.
They are typically vehicles with a reasonable balance of maneuverability, firepower and protection.
They're a good choice for a player who has already learned the heavy tank gameplay
and now wants something more dynamic.
All tanks are different, and all of them starting from tier six have roles.
Medium tanks are no exception.
The versatile medium tank is the most common role.
These can do a bit of everything, but it doesn't mean they're mediocre.
They can snipe and go on assault when required, so they act according to the situation.
medium tanks share some traits with heavy tanks. They excel at close range, while their
armor gives some room for error and allows for more aggressive play. This is the best
choice for new players and fans of using armor at the front line.
Sniper medium tanks have higher firepower and often good maneuverability, but they pay
for it with lower survivability. They're usually played at mid and long range. In the
hands of a skilled player, they can be successful at close range. Support medium tanks are often
equipped with an auto loader or auto reloader. This kind of vehicle dishes out a lot of damage
in a short time. At the start of battle, a support tank is best to stay behind sturdier
allies and then look for opportunities to strike when there is more space to maneuver
on the map.
Let's say you've chosen the vehicle role.
It's time to equip your tank for battle.
Besides the classic brothers and arms and repair perks, take a look at smooth ride and snapshot
for more accurate fire, concealment and firefighting for increased survivability, recon and
situational awareness for better view range.
There are many other useful perks that will help you become more effective.
Train them and experiment.
A turbocharger will make you faster.
Put it into a special mobility slot.
If you can use a gun rammer, just do it.
A vertical stabilizer is desirable for most medium tanks.
It's not fitted for low-tier machines, but the following two pieces of equipment can
be used.
Coated optics will boost your view range.
They're useful to have in the second set of equipment that you can unlock with field
modification.
Improved ventilation is a timeless classic.
It improves a bit of everything.
It's preferable to use its bounty or improved version.
hardening will suit many assault medium tanks.
So, you've equipped your tank and entered a battle. In a sniper medium tank,
look for a position with bushes and lines of fire to the enemy.
Universal medium finds suitable terrain for a hull down position.
In an assault medium tank, use a position for damage blocking
on the front line.
In a support medium, keep behind your allies and act according to the situation.
But this applies to any role.
If your team is left without light tanks, a medium tank can sometimes also play the role of a scout.
But be careful.
Tanks safe positions, although not far from the front line.
Use bushes, bell trees and hide your hull using terrain and cover.
Survive at the start of the battle to have space for maneuver close to the end.
Try to attack reloading enemies and break their tracks by shooting their wheels.
Remember that medium tanks often have a better rate of fire than heavy tanks and tank destroyers,
so you can trade one enemy shot for two of your own.
Be nimble and flexible.
Be aware of your surroundings and the mini map to keep control of the situation.
Keep close to your allies and see you on the battlefield
The final onslaught season in the annual cycle will launch with some exciting new features
Now during the countdown each team can vote to ban one vehicle
which will become unavailable for all players on both teams.
This gives you a chance to exclude the most dangerous enemy vehicle for you and its copies,
or propose to ban the least useful vehicle from your own team.
If your vehicle ends up banned, you'll have enough time to choose another one.
You can learn all the details about this feature in the Portal article.
The airfield map has been fine tuned to better suit the 7V7 format.
Erlenberg and Safe Haven have also been adjusted a little.
The DROV-X, Karo 45T, and Aries 90 have joined the list of vehicles available in onslaught.
The roll skill of the latter has been modified to support its unique firing mechanic.
Available for free rental this season are the Object 140, Fosch B, and T57 Heavy.
The now-rentable vehicles come with consumables, equipment, shells, and four-pert crews.
Only the shells and consumables can be changed.
In addition, the 114SP-2 is now available for purchase starting from the Silverleaf, not the Gold.
Remember that this launch concludes the Year of the Dragon.
This is your chance to get the Super Rare Ashbringer.
the sun is shining. And the
grill is lit. Not that grill.
This one. Perfect. Now what's
summer without a brand new
battle pass season? Started in
early June and running for three
months. There's plenty to keep
you busy this summer. As always,
battle pass is about rolling
is about rolling out, just having some fun and earning rewards, and this season is no different.
So, whether you choose to battle in your favorite tank, or this thing, you can make some serious
progress and get some awesome and unique goodies. As always, there's a huge collection of rewards
of prograds, including unique crew members that come with enough XP to train three perks immediately.
Plus, there are three new desert-themed 3D styles
for this season's core vehicles up for grabs.
The Camel-inspired drone derring for the CS63.
Perfect for when things start heating up.
The Fennec for the Bat Shot 25T.
That'll help you keep your cool in the middle of battle
this summer.
And the first ever 3D style for the WZ-113G FT, the Addix.
Now that's a beast that's suited for the dry weather.
This season brings another tank to the lineup, the KB-52.
Sager tokens throughout the year to get this new Tier IX.
The KB-52 is a Soviet medium that boasts over 1,000 HP of damage from its 3-shell auto load.
Comfortable gun depression and strong turret armor to protect you from the scorching sun.
Basically, this jack of all trades can both take on enemy mediums and support your team's heaviness.
With so much to get your hands on, maybe it's time to get the platoon back together and roll out once more, even if they've not played in a water.

Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the AMD OnSouth Legends Series Season 6 Playoffs
Ian, we're in the final day of the Wallas.
Yeah, very exciting stuff and can't wait for the good matches that we should have ahead.
For sure.
Yesterday we already started getting some teams to be eliminated.
Today, of course, the final playday, it all comes to its big old conclusion here on the
31st of May, which also means that today is the last day for you to gather those tokens.
And I think it's also the last day for the bundles. I think they're still available,
not the Oracle one, of course. If you want to support the prize pool where 100% of the proceedings
goes towards the prize pool, of course, these bundles are still available. Like I said, the
Oracle bundle no longer possibility, but the other ones are still yet available at this point in time.
Now, the question of the day Ian is who is going to end up winning the entire thing?
We know that you're getting 10 tokens for the token store, but who will win the entire thing?
Well, I did buy the W bundle, so I'm hoping they will, but for this match I should put Matthew,
the first match, so hoping for a lower drop rate, but push drops, E25TS, SU, and some other nice
prizes for you and mystery drops as well. Today the other opportunity to win the
Kampfpanzer 07 H or a defender if you end up being lucky enough of course there's
styles and demanding kits as well and of course the 10 tokens right if you
haven't gotten the E75 TS yet then these might actually bring you towards that
at E75TS.
A lot of tokens, a lot on the line for everybody.
The brackets.
This is where we are now.
Yesterday, we saw a hit and run get kind of humiliated
by Mafia, to be honest.
And then, weekend, surprisingly, getting the better
of hit and run as well, sending them
from the semifinals in the upper bracket straight out
of the tournament, true.lower bracket,
which means weekend is going to be waiting between the C
who wins between W and Mafia to continue in the tournament on that lower bracket
and then the grand finals is going to be later so that's two best of nines and a
best of 11 and then of course we have an A as well which will come after the W
and Mafia match if I'm not mistaken where we will have another best of 11
between Dopamine and Matacito. Yeah some very nice games I mean Matacito
obviously felt like kind of the underdog sort of against stacked but stacked
just kind of fell apart yesterday so yeah there's a to be in the final against
the double mean it will be a rematch of the upper bracket yeah that was that was
not a good match for for stacked no of course this yeah the second match is the
lower bracket first then we have the grand finals in NA and then we have the
grand finals I mean you can order slightly wrong but nonetheless lots of
best 11's. Yeah and a lot of games today and kind of look forward to hopefully
maybe some close games and not some blowout games like we had yesterday. We
will have to see. Mafia versus W. Not the upper bracket finals many would have
expected even about at the beginning of the season even when we saw the bracket
At first, many having hit and run
poses the favorites for this match.
And it's not going to be, it's going to be Mafia.
That's going to be playing off against W.
W, of course, had the opportunity yesterday
to watch, learn, and observe what Mafia did.
Yeah, I mean, kind of important for W
to obviously kind of get a feel of what Mafia wants to play.
And yeah, I mean, let's hope they can use that experience
to a full effect, really.
we'll have to see how both teams play. I mean Mafia obviously kind of played quite aggro
against in the first game against Hit and Run and with these like six bliskers on Ruinberg,
but we'll have to see what they like to play and that normally they like to play slow game.
So it'd be interesting to see what they bring out.
It'd be very interesting to see what they have been cooking because they haven't shown
their stats or their strats at all. The man that made the legend put one DPG Dracaifa
behind the scenes, working hard to supply the rest of the team with the drinks, the snacks and anything.
Foot massage, even. Might be top one in DPG, but he's more of a behind the scenes guy.
He won't be playing today, who will be playing, however, is Ios, going back in.
Not quite the same DPG Ian, but has been doing a fantastic job throughout the season,
putting up the numbers in those tanks where you expect the numbers to come from.
Yeah, I mean, obviously 140 CS and can anyone specialist kind of player here and jack of a more of a cheerleader, I feel
but, you know, I would not like to see him dancing, though, to be honest.
I don't know. I mean, the German dancing would be too bad.
Right. Interesting. I'm not sure about that one. I'm going to have to disagree.
But community prediction, 62% in favor of W, let's be real, they had a tremendous regular season, barely dropping a beat throughout it.
It's fair to say that they are the favorites coming into this, but Mafia are very well-versed at this point with these playoffs.
They've won where it all mattered most at LAN with WCI, so I feel like maybe then the
new department is going to slide edge.
Yeah, I feel like after playing yesterday and doing so well against Hit and Run, I feel
like you're quite confident if you're a mafia and obviously W will have the confidence from
the season, but you didn't play yesterday, so maybe a little, not rusty, but you're not
fully in the game.
Maps, the next thing. Ghost Town being banned by Mafia.
Not a surprise, W has been a tremendous team on this map throughout the season, to be honest.
N-Stem being banned by W also, not a surprise in that regard.
So the bans are very normal, I would say.
It gives us Himmels as first map.
Yeah, Himmels will be good when we go to Cliff.
which will be hopefully very exciting, and then Tundra's being banned,
then Römberg, Sand River, interesting, normally you'd say that's a mafia kind of map, but...
and then we've got the Pilsen, which is, I feel like, probably the favourite map from this season,
and Westfield as a tiebreaker.
But if it comes to Pilsen, I think mafia runs away with it, you know?
Yeah, I mean, they have been playing well, but...
I mean, you have to see, I mean...
I really don't know what to think of W anymore, obviously played very well this season but
I haven't seen them play the playoffs, it's a good thing and a bad thing at the same time
Yeah, I mean, good for Mafia to ban out Ghost Town, I think W have the highest win rate,
I think, at like 80% or like 100% on Ghost Town, so yeah, definitely makes sense for
them to ban that map out
Yeah, for sure, no surprises in that one, like the Ghost Town ban and the Ends ban I think
they both just make a lot of sense in that regard.
So starting it off, we saw Mafia yesterday
a little bit of surprise against Hidden Run,
the way that they played on some maps, some sites.
I don't think that W will be falling
for the same kind of shenanigans.
No, I mean, they kind of have to probably expect this,
like, I think Mafia want to play this aggressively,
but they did it against Hidden Run in the first game
with these six Blizzkers, 1140s.
So hopefully W are ready for this,
or think it is a possibility anyway,
and not expecting Mafia to play a slow game.
I mean, W can play both.
Although I feel like you said this is a thing
they play a little bit slower.
They do better when they play slower,
but they also played a lot of ghost time,
which won't be played here.
So from that part, again,
I think it's a good ban for Mafia to remove this ghost time.
Even though yesterday they played it against here in run,
right, then had a good showing on it across the board.
W is a difficult team to play on that map. So, Hemmels is first.
Yeah, I think it's a good map for both teams. It's interesting how both teams play it.
Maybe I have to see if they want to do some cap play or we want to go more slow and maybe just
playing the hill. Predictions, Phil, Key, 5-3, U5-4 for W and me, 5-3 for mafia. Yeah, I was heavily
debating whether to go mafia or W. I still don't know. This map could definitely go either way here
and we'll just have to see. I think it depends a lot on how the team's open. If someone gets a
a 2-0 victory on him or I think that'd be definitely the favorite to go in go all the
way and win the game.
Where do we think the difference will be made like one map?
Um, I mean, I want to say it depends on how him or really goes a cliff. I think if some team gets
2-0 on Cliff as well could be demoralizing anyway and I don't know I feel like W could
be winning on Cliff but it's so hard to tell.
I'm really curious to see what we're going to get on the first round of Himmels.
I think I kind of can't expect how W will play which is not too aggressive but it's
like Mafia has the question mark now because like I said yesterday tried to surprise it
in one I wonder if they're going for the same kind of tactic here I mean maybe
they play slow first game to you know lower W into thinking they're gonna play
slow second game explosive opening seven BlizzCuz
seven BlizzCuz not happening by the looks of things because the BlizzCuz is
banned by W the 50B banned by Mafia gives us double BZ a driver so 140 triple 40
for the side of Mafia.
And for W, W6DP, 1I7, 1CS, 2CS's and WFB.
Right, so...
Yeah, see, I was with optics.
Uh, yeah, I mean, also, the optics on the CS is not that much of a surprise.
Could be wanting to spot D1 too, could be playing Hill as well, spread it.
it either works but if you go towards like a three line with the CS you would
spot the red line you might even spot these for three years to be honest which
have a great camera but I think that could be counteracted by the optics
from the CS I also spots out Rexer and O'Connor and Orchrik as well get spotted
in return I think you would have gotten the spot either way to be honest. Yeah I
don't think the optics were needed but I mean Mafia wanting to play this quite
aggressively they're pushing down one too they have they have tried to get them
control they might get the radio tower as well and giving them full info there
collecting strike as well so nice over from mafia I feel and continuing down
not stopping here double busy so I need to take the info as we said and Marcus
will be taken to people see the CS of Mentos on the hill and what does mafia
do for this they continue pushing do they actually pull the trigger for 30
users are moving on towards Piotr in that I7 but there's double force B and ACS 63
covering Piotr, so Yuzik and Barkus are currently in a position to they go for
this Piotr kill because that would be a very dangerous one. Kono and Orchek are
now committing and towards Klurf as well whose fires the first two at the
worst Kono gets the shots as well but Piotr is not going to trade that well
for this play whatsoever to be honest Yuzik is now coming in and Klurf will be
on reload very soon. Nepal's now trying to move towards Rekzard but that is a
long distance to go for that force B. Rekzard is going to be pulling back as
at the meantime and a pal now sent the clip out or chick is coming as well in
his own for to do bark is as well can Rex are survive I think yes might be the
answer to be honest a little bit of a block there for more check but it's okay
because netball was reloading anyways to down for w at the very first round here
on himmels and mentors is flipped on his roof he is dead not the way to start for
the in-game leader there for a w all the way upside down and he took a lot of
damage at some point as well to be honest. Mentals has died maybe even crashing damage coming in.
Would it have mattered? I'm not too sure but Mafia come into this upper bracket finals
showing that they are a team to be reckoned with as they take W down on the very first round of
Hilldorf. Yeah, I mean a really nice game from Mafia. A nice game plan as well with this BZ.
They spot the cross as well so they know they're not just going to be pushing into
all their tanks and they just decide they want to try and isolate Pilter and
they catch him basically. I'm not for free, they get a force clip for it but I mean a gun up,
they have a guy on hell that unfortunately you know flips his tank but I do feel like
it probably wouldn't have mattered. A force clip that's not even that focused on like one target
like a few go on towards one particular youth and a few go on to the BZ and you see Nepal coming in
and he's not sure whether to go right or left, he ends up turning left after all and that's
then isolating him as well so you remind us what, two tanks are ready for this and
Mentos you know dies, I really wonder how much damage he actually took from shots and how much
is from the rain you know like hits received. Yeah it'd be interesting to see I mean
in looking at me doing one shot it feels like it's quite poor, you didn't really get caught that
Wow, so I'm surprised by that and being able to do 1.5 that makes sense.
Zero hits received, so he ended up fumbling, hitting his head and dying.
Yeah, not a great start. I mean, I'm hoping this is not going to turn out kind of like
sacked it yesterday with the, you know, then throwing an RHM off the hill on Cliff, but
hopefully they can just reset and say this game happened and move on.
I would hope that they can move on from that to be honest.
I really would hope so.
I mean...
I feel like a CS and 1,2 is pointless to have optics though.
I think it was more to spot like it didn't work in this game but I think it was more
to spot like their red line crossing tanks you know if they were...
Maybe spotting foshes.
If they were to use their red line you don't spot those from the three line.
Yeah I guess so.
And it's got one full 30U I guess crossing on 3 line and maybe it wouldn't have if he didn't have optics maybe.
And I think in this case it really didn't matter to be honest.
Yeah, wouldn't have mattered really anyway of having HP so, oh well.
Phase 1, yeah actually, it's good to come back to this.
Mafia started this season by humiliating W.
3-0 was the, I think it was W's first match as well.
Yeah, I mean, not a great start for W, but they turned back around in the end I guess.
After that, it was fantastic.
Absolutely fantastic.
Maybe I'll walk them up a little bit, realize that they need to lock in.
Lock in is the bands, both teams actually banning out the Blitzkawitsa.
It seems to be coming back into the matter a little bit.
W again bringing 1 TP, 150B, 1 Dravik, double T-Shift so heavy, and the double CS again, with Nioh spring optics again.
Yeah, I mean let's see where he decides to go this time around though.
With the CS 63, what is the point from it from this side you think?
Probably three line again, you think, to spot like the J3 cross?
Uh...
I think he's going middle.
He's going to the window, but it's too late, surely, so it's not anything wrong.
Yeah, he spots a wadzik, but who cares?
It doesn't spot these bz's going into the cap though, and there's gonna be triple
cap pressure coming out from Mafia and...
There's WCS, there's WCS, so...
Ooh, EYOS, EYOS, EYOS, EYOS, EYOS!
One...
Very cheap, very, very cheap, I think even
Mafia got a...
Ooh, there's a second one, I think even Mafia got a little surprise
to be honest, that there was a...
CS
there all of a sudden. As we can say, there's WCS
with Mini Striker, but that's a lot of damage
we've received from EYOS from the beginning of the game.
He's half HP, they're gonna split up on the cap
And because of that, I mean there needs to be a reset Mentos puts his mini strike
He ends up hitting barcass so 12 seconds and there needs to be another one
Eytox will take his strike, right? There's that and I think I also will find a reset because of that
They reset the strike go back down to 18 seconds. There needs to be okay. Mentos has another mini straighter
Yeah, I mean
Matthew do need to be a little careful
But I mean they are putting a lot of pressure on to onto W to kind of do something
They will get the strike but after the strike gets you know taken in place. They're it's gonna be 30 seconds left
No strikes mini strikes on CSS anymore, so
Let's see if they can just getting some research at the same time. I think mafia is now
We adjusting
But I'm not backed away from this camp actually and now we could see W starting to take
position nipal moving together with lukin and his 50 b friend of clurf through
that part of the map in the south on the 5 and 6 line 23 seconds left and you
didn't mention it there are normally strikes available so they need to get
ready to reset like they are currently they have it looks with the big strike
still oh yeah so I missed that for a second yeah totally placed it already
actually yeah me too but this night on the 47 seconds mentors will get a mini
strike I think of all the communication tower but
yeah it does that's one reason again the point stands this force be is the one
that's in danger though right now like the one in the south
Kono? Yeah, they don't know about him though, right?
I don't know. Now they do and the fall is going to peak.
Is he going to get a track off? Oh, he's healing.
In the healing ability, one more shot. He's not going to get it though, and Kono, living just.
Arkes, Yusek or Czech, now starting to repush on towards Nepal. Kono will heal, Kono right comes in
or Czech is already driving in in the E100, taking some shots on the crossing that these 57s are running away
and there's a lot of damage received on towards that even 100 from the very first part of the game
I also have taken a strike back what was the middle of the map Nepal dropped about 1k
But they're doing a good job at this engaging at this moment in time
So Dravet's pushing past the push B and the BZ coming back in they want Nepal out of the game
They will get him as well. Konrad finds the kill. Is there a low HP mafia tank right now?
No, not really. There's 4 to the user 1, 2, 3 line. Gotta be careful though
because W up on HP that they readjust and now the game kind of stalls out I
still has a strike in hand though but the first kill is found by the side of
mafia and rex art once you get towards the safer position takes back down
towards one two line I also taken communication star and mafia are starting
to readjust and that is a strike a lot of strike damage actually 500 with a 50
on top of it that is a good amount of damage yeah I mean mafia struggling a
little bit in the health department and I mean W basically have control of three
you know zones of control they have the two communication powers they wanted
them the strike but these two tanks on K5 K6 are kind of stuck though but I mean
so a mafia really they can't really go anywhere looks like W has put them into a
box so gonna be hard to break out of this so you know does he live through this
does he live through this he doesn't he dies looking also finds Orchek at the
same time it's a two-prone attack on two sides looking finding one the others
finding another and this is W in control over this one at the very least that
push B was not enough to hold that position it's a good peak from the 50B
from the CS they find the kill immediately a good good engagement from W
now Piotr will die in return and the HP is not that great but they've got two
extra guns in this one and Profus can not help Rekstar right now so Rekstar is
going to do all by his loan, so music is dead and Barkis is getting sweeped by the remainder
right now. The stride coming out as well, I think it will be enough to finish off Profuse,
that's Mentos actually and W, they take back around on the handles door and make it all
even onto the next one. It's Cliff, right? 1-1?
Yep. Yep. I think it's just a nice game from W, I feel. I mean, this E100 was a Orzik,
Yeah, it was just bleeding a lot to try and cross over to this, um, Chiefs in heavy.
They trade, kinda even, I guess, they kill the Chiefs in heavy, but after the no positions,
then what are you gonna do with no positions, and you're completely stuck in, you know, your side of the map,
and W have all the control that they need, and 3k up if I'm not mistaken at that point, so...
Yeah, tough game for Mafia, I feel, but... 1-1, not too bad.
Going on to Cliff, anyone's game still.
anybody's game very true I mean they found the first kill against Nepal but
they really took a lot of punishment across and then they got kind of stuck
in those lanes and W did a really good execute with the 57 with the 50B in the
CS found two kills off of that it was just a good good run for W they keep
control they hold the lanes they do everything that they're supposed to do
can't really complain about that I was good that's very good yeah it was I mean
we were a little worried about the cap but I mean we didn't see the I still had
strikes still but it was getting a bit nervous at the end at the start but
especially with, I mean, it was an IOS getting away with such high health when
he pushed into, he just peaked into three tanks that he didn't know were there.
I mean, he ran away with a lot of damage. I could have got a lot worse, he could have taken even a
further usual, I think, he could have been down to like 500 HP if everything goes
badly but cliff now the next one who do we favor this
uh hard very hard to tell i would i want to put say w but
i don't know something in my mind is telling mafia is gonna
pick up
and they got something cooking i feel like w would be the one to cook maybe
something on cliff and then phase two of course you know
W sweeping mafia
Yeah, it's went full 180. I guess the face to
Seems like W got up and running I guess at that point so we're raring to go
Come on they play yeah, come on when that game was the face. Yeah, it was it later. I don't know when it wasn't face to anymore
means nothing anymore I guess really when you're in playoffs I hope to see
double grill but I think that's over cooking. Both teams actually end up
banning the 50B so W going four BZs, double CS and a 140. And for Mafia
bringing a TP, two BZs, one CS and triple E 50m.
so okay never mind triple triple busy one CS in 350m so along 3pm on mafia's side
i mean let me change the fault that he used instead of E50m yeah the lineup is not
that much different the double cs for w they kind of like you like if it's a straight brawl these
ported using E50s will make the difference. Yeah, I mean this CSS depends on how much
if they can get up the hill relatively for free or at least one of them gonna be in a very nice
position but I feel like we've seen the split before from Athea to be fair just one E50 on
the lower side and everything else top so it's gonna be a full out brawl on topside that looks
accident.
That seemed to be that way, Kono gets towards the top of the hill, there's one tank on the
lower side for Mafia though, that E-50M is currently kind of out of the battle and this
is the pressure on towards that corner looking, Aitox, Piotr, Nepal, they're all looking,
the crossfire comes in from the top of the ramp as well and now Barkis is forced back
a little bit and Mafia is kind of forced to hold this position, the E-50M on the lower
side is now trying to get back in towards the fight but he's driving across the three
and W is pushing forward with their BZs on towards Barkas.
He's the first one to fall.
In the second or two, they need to find the shot.
And Mentos is the one to do it.
And Sildis, E50M is out of the battle right now.
Another strike coming out that is stunning from the side of W.
Only now does Mafia find the first kill.
And so long they're waiting for this 1 E50M from Orchek
to come into the game.
And it feels like forever because that's what it is at this point.
It's an eternity for E50M to come in.
Proof is in the 430U.
He has the DPM on this upper side.
He's the next focus for W. They find him very quickly.
An Invertir, and the O'Clarth is falling.
Four tanks are standing for W.
And I don't even know if they're currently winning this fight.
But who's getting shielded?
Nepal, coming back in, wants to make the kill.
And finally Orchek, let's say the cavalry arrives in this position.
Yuzek is going to get focused out.
And Orchek now driving on towards Ios as the one to make the difference.
W still up in HP, but they're about to be on three on three.
And I'm not sure who's currently favored.
I would say the W50M and the CS with the DPM could make this work, but Kono and Wex are very low.
Yeah, and obviously they're trying to catch Kono here, but I think their mentors is going to catch him here.
And I mean, then the Paul's catching the 430U, so it's still anyone's game.
Olsek still has a lot of HP though, he will kill this BZ, but guns are still a bit of an issue.
bit of an issue still.
Ortega, the bullshitter probably shot 430U that, finish him off, but Mendoz trying to
kill Rek'Sa, both teams still 2v2, but Houth is a lot of HP up 4W, but Rek'Sa does hit
without a bounce.
Let's not miss this!
He misses the shot, and now Rek'Sa is alive, Mendoz now has it all to do, one one shot in
front of him, and then the other one, he does find the kill now, but Ortega on full DPM
mode right now against Mentos with a three shot for Orchek. Mentos has the
mini strike as well as the mini strike will make Orchek a one shot and that is
a tough position to be if you're Orchek he tries to roll out from it it doesn't
happen. Mentos coming in for the clutch even with the Nepal miss it doesn't
matter W pick it up but that could have gone a lot different. I feel like it should
never be this close. E50M, I was watching E50M on the map and you drove online and
then turned around to come back the other way. I don't know why he turned around probably just
going to bow is a lot faster then you have at least bow control you could get
some shots in obviously you can probably just gonna push in straight because you
need to get your health into the game but just took forever to get the Z50M in
and I still feel like this is way too close and he parts it how many doing one
shot from Matthew I mean he just gets caught on the corner and I talks I guess
as well as the other guy focused out but feel like Matthew didn't really want to
take this fight it seems like the two guys went to the corner to fight against
four and then the other two went kind of like more towards the rocks on in the
middle and they kind of just got caught out with these bz's on the like side
bit of the mid and I mean the CS as well that had what it'd be like B4 whatever
it is on the bush line and the rocks he also probably had free farm as well but
I mean Mentos with 7.3 and yeah it's very nice as well and Mentos does a
a tremendous amount of damage here, but worrying for W, they almost, I mean actually did get
some shots in from the lower side, otherwise he wouldn't have 5k, but that's the HP out
of the game, right?
I'm worried that they almost lost this, what I think is a 6v7.
Yeah, it is quite worrying, I mean good damage from Raxar and Kono, but yeah, I mean just
also blowing up with one more, if he does probably one more shot of damage then, you
know the game is credibly even well that was a cliff round yeah certainly was a
cliff round average cliff I'm so surprised he didn't continue committing
down one night it is faster he gets less shots though but he would be in the
fight quicker yeah I can't think of why he wanted to go back maybe he thought
they were gonna over push straight and he wanted to be you know the crossfire in
the back but yeah I mean it's always just gonna be a straight fight in mid if
you have six tanks there so they're never gonna over push it they're just gonna
punish guns and both teams again banning 50 bees pretty normal I feel
on Cliff at this point, and W bringing three BZs, three CSs, and a 140.
Well, in return, Mafia, four BZs, a bad, a CS, and a 140.
So W with a little bit of mobility advantage, right, because of the triple CS.
Yeah, I mean, going over the ultilodo, have to see how much he can make it work.
I feel like that hasn't really taken that much on Cliff anymore.
I feel like most people want to take the CS for having these mini-strikes, but Conor going
quite wide there, not wanting to get spotted by any kind of plane, and maybe he wants to go around
the hill here? Hmm, possible. Oh, and us nearly. Flipping this tank a little bit, but double CS
going to the bowl, they will get this, they will get this bowl control and kind of forces
mafia to do something because they're going to win hill and bowl here so
it's going to be kind of tough for mafia to get into this game they're probably going to have to rotate
bowl at some point. Now all of these things for mafia here in the middle double thing from W
taking the hill that makes three of them together with the CS and this mafia decided to cross now
or what's going to happen Conrad has to be extremely careful and now the cross is happening and
Conrad is going to be left to his own devices on top of the hill he should even try to drop off in my
opinion and disengaged towards Kono, but he's not doing that. He's kind of
sitting and facing off against Pilter. Pilter ends up missing that. So Konrad
being annoying here, keeping two tanks from W preoccupied, and I think Pilter
might just try to push him off. Is that enough? That is a good question. Yes, he
has gotten them off. And Konrad is now in this little slope. Rex are coming in
from behind Mentos, and Eitoch's trying to escape, but Rex are with the body block.
He's holding him in position. Can they get enough damage on Eitoch to make that
because Wrexar surely will take a lot in return as well. He does find one more shot on itox before he goes down
And I think that was a value trade there for Wrexar. They find two and Conrad has slid off the side of the hill without taking any
Damage Bark is not pushing from that angle. Yuzik from the other they need to clean up this but right now
It's a little bit disjointed from map. The strike ends up missing. Yuzik coming in takes one key from the hill
dies actually from the middle of the map. Another tank forced across now, which is Orchek and it's one by one
they fall as they try to do this and for Putin, they do have crossfire, but W knows the tanks that need to be shot at the ones going 1-2 line and Orchek will not make it, Marcus will not do it, it is going to be over for that part of the map and I think that will also decide the rest of this battle.
They did not keep 1-2 control, W takes it back together with the top of the hill, making it 3-1.
Yeah, I mean I was a little worried about W going up with 2 BZs, I feel like 1 BZ was enough,
Especially because
BZ have luked and took a lot of punish going up the hill, but I mean
Mafia just were able to catch really nothing in this game. They went to bowl. They caught like one CS
But they catch nothing else they bleed so heavily for it. They don't win hill
W win bowl and hill and normally that's a recipe for success on cliff
Yeah
Good stuff there from W, it was a really good round, utilizing their line up to basically absolute perfection and they get rewarded for it.
Kind of still has big strike as well, he still hasn't used it, so never seen a good opportunity I guess to use it or now he has.
I don't know what happened to that strike, maybe he strike down at us but yeah he just
never saw a good opportunity to use the strike and I mean yeah I mean Mafia just getting
caught going to bow with these bz's kind of one by one at the end to try and catch
this cs that was low and the 140 and I mean the help punish was just too much for Mafia
to do anything about.
Well, it was a really good round for W, honestly, like a very, very good round.
They played the Angles very well, and they pulled Mafia apart, and I think Mafia,
they made the mistake of not crossing back to 1-2 earlier with Barcase and somebody else,
while Brexler was still dying, you know?
While that was still happening, I think they had the opportunity to cross, take less damage
and take back 2 control, but it would still be a very hard game.
Playing against a team that's set up on the hill?
Yeah, it would be definitely difficult. I mean, I guess if you take the bow, you probably have
double strike, but yeah, I mean, playing against the top, like two tanks on the
elder, never gonna really die. It's gonna be very difficult, I think. I mean,
I guess you'd maybe get the 1-2 control of that base and you kind of make it hard for them to
cap, but I think you catch things on the middle and on the top side. So I think, I think W is
he's just open it was just a much better than Matthew's and I mean that's
sometimes just what Cliff is really
what it comes after Clif though
sand river W's pick
here we can see I mean Clif is also W's pick yeah I mean based on this you'd
I think it's one-one coming out of the center actually, and then Pilsen brings us back to
thighbreaker.
Yeah, I mean you'd think probably West Side wins both games and round up Pilsen, and that's
anyone's game as we said, you know, Pilsen probably Mafia are the favorites there, and
Yeah, I mean, anything could happen.
And indeed happen.
I don't know what side.
I don't know what side W to begin with, but I feel like it's important for them to probably win this game here.
If they get 4-1 on the boards, it's going to be very hard for Mafia to kind of get back their confidence to, you know, fully go all the way after that and go to diebreaker at least.
So yeah, I feel like if they're west side to begin with with W, I think it's 5-1.
Yeah, willing to go with that one.
But let's see first, because yesterday Malfi played a very good Sand River against Hit and Run.
Yeah, they did, to be fair.
Then again, that was a surprising Sand River though.
Unlikely for W to play the cap straight, I think.
Yeah, I doubt it. They were very close to getting the spot up with the IS-7, but I think
Poofers messes me afterwards, saying he fired APCR and just missed the guy's reset just
by a second. Anyway, onto this game, W bringing a lot of strike tanks, 1 and 5Y, 1 CS, double
K911, double-four 3U, and an RHM.
In return, there's an RHM as well for the other team.
Double-four 3U, K911, maybe an 8-bit habit.
It's very similar.
What is the only difference here?
It is an extra 4-3U for another K911.
Yeah, RHM instead of Vitas.
So, no inspire for W, but...
I mean, I don't know, Sand River is nearly, you don't really get like full on fights on Sand River that often, so I can understand why they don't take an inspiring video.
I mean, you'd think W would be okay, long as they can get some tanks with some resets
and they both get any ones before they have strikes and they are destroying a lot of their
houses onto the cap, so.
I mean, there's double hit any one though and Ios has a strike already, so shouldn't
be too hard to reset this one. I don't think that Mafia's ultimate play is to
cap this base and be surprised. Clermdus had the plane, he drops it now, or he
does not have a plane? Clermdus does not seem to have a plane.
Barqus got reset by the strike, now comes the spots on the Rascon Rant.
He gets shot by IOC immediately. He has a reset as well. I think Mafia has to abandon
this plan at this moment in time. They're backing away from this as well. Two of
them going down the middle with Eusek and Marcus and Convatt and Vex are discovering in this.
They're marching in the middle, actually delivering a little bit of success.
Klerk is annoying in the north and of course they don't have a light to go
deal with Klerk so he is kind of free right now but he needs to be careful not
to get separated from his team too much because right now it looks like they're
kind of cutting off his angles. Yeah this traffic cutting off is runaway,
You can't run away. Zero line now. Can anyone probably have to get in this radio power?
We'll go up to a zero and just start angling him out. So
they'll be maybe on a bit of a timer.
I mean, Kono kind of locking
Fluriff in place. Italks and I also have retaken their own base. No, they're back in the zero line
looking towards Kono and trying to give Fluriff an opportunity to escape and the problem right now for Kono is that
He's getting farmed for this like he is getting farmed by this
IHM all together there's a K9 in front of him now as well, and I think he might be in trouble to be honest
Yeah, I don't think he's safe anywhere there. I mean, Cliff also getting some angles on him and
Maybe come on over extending a little bit here. I mean
Maybe he should just commit all the way down into the beer, but then he gets repushed
So I mean just not a really
Conrad Klurv? Conrad sent it, that's the question here.
See, Barkas and Yuzik looking towards Ios, they're gonna be jumping across I think almost.
They're gonna take some damage for those.
MENTOS misses, so MENTOS takes some damage back.
Pyotr does hit a shot, Yuzik taking another one, Barkas taking another one,
Barkas getting tracked, he's gonna take one more from them, maybe getting tracked again.
Klurv is dead, but so is Barkas, to be honest.
Pyotr finds one more shot, Barkas on 32 HP survives, but I mean, basically dead.
Yeah, I mean, Pilto repushing him, trying to get the skill, he gets more strike by Ios and Conrad going in onto itox.
It's gonna be a 1v1, well, Usek is gonna make that mod, 1v1 anymore, and we'll catch itox, but I mean, it's not actually that bad for Mafia looking at it.
Conrad needs to get out of there, Conrad needs to get out of there right now, like he needs to get fast, itox, because he's gonna die for this.
And he think he just realized that was happening, and I think the author over committed and returned, though.
I think Konvalen was body blocking a little bit too long as well.
He dies to the strike.
Mistakes being made from both sides at this moment in time.
Rek'Sai are now getting repushed by Mentos, who's coming in one more time.
Rek'Sai is waiting, though Mentos is running away.
Lukin pushing back in as well.
The dodge on the strike with Rek'Sai isn't a 1v1 against Lukin.
Lukin of course is going to win that, but the Dravitz is now coming in.
Mentos is low, Perfus and the Urus is also low.
Orchek getting some shots in from the back lines, even with the midi.
He's facing off 1v1 against Nepal and Rek'Sai with the DPM.
finds the kill. Piotr down towards 24 HP. There's no more mini strikes for the side
of Matja. Jusek could load HE, but Piotr finds the beat on him. Kono comes in though in returning.
He ends up missing the shot as well, and Piotr might find one on Kono for that,
and Kono now looking towards Piotr, but covered by Ios. And all of a sudden,
things here are unfolding in a crazy way, but Orccek looks to have a better position. Kono,
Beautiful play drives over the building your third doesn't have the reaction speed for that anymore a few years too late
We want to get some fall on K-Line
Mentals picking proofers though and they are slowly losing angles. I feel like
Can Orc just not just kill him?
Not anymore, but earlier like 10 seconds ago.
The thing is Mentos will kill him for this.
Ios gets his shots on towards Kono.
Orc is going for it now though, he's going for the 1v1,
but the problem is that Kono is now a one-shot and Ios is backing away.
Orc and Nepal flipping sides, Orc did a really good job there at trading though.
Kono is a one-shot and I don't think Mentos has a strike anymore.
strike anymore Ios does have the strike and picks up the kill the one shot so
doing it or she has to go for it again needs to get Nepal out of the game
yeah I mean his Kapolosh is gonna be really hot on this M5 why he's angling
his putting his gun up so he can't hit the Kapolo and I think he just needs to
go over and get this kill confirmed I mean I don't know if Nepal does he have
he does have a full he has a full heal though and he's gonna heal probably 300
from this, I think, maybe 200, I can see he's been shooting many tanks, and it looks like
Ultec is healing himself, so both tanks one shot, but Nepal has to reload a Vanget, so
on average Nepal should be winning this, and he does, and that's the round.
A close affair, but that's about it.
The end game there, mistakes being made from either side, to be honest, in this chaotic
brawl engagement, where really anybody could have won out, but W and the Chaos gets the
win. Mentos did a tremendous job there. He got behind the profuse in the Udess and ended up getting
the kill as well and then together with Ios cleans up the entire zealot line. Yeah, I mean,
I think Mentos as well, he dodged the strike as well, which he would be dead if he did get strike.
So, you know, very nice dodge from him, very well played. And I do feel Mafia made like Bartek
only doing one shot on this cross, but I don't know if this cross was necessary. I mean, they
catch this RHM in the north with the skin only one and then you can just kind of reset
after that and you can just chill but even still I mean Conrad as well getting not going
down getting blocked by those are italks in the little dip there getting focused out and
dying is not good either.
I think Conrad could have actually left out.
Yeah I think you can't climb up that from that side right?
I don't think you can but I don't think you need to block for that long.
I think if he goes past Iotox there, they end up getting the kill on Iotox, he's alive.
The mini-strike would be extremely useful to have, to for example finish off Pyotr, or
to kill Mentos later, or to stun Nepal, a lot of stuff to be honest.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like some misplaced from Mafia definitely could have won this round
and I don't know if what we said is going to come true now, I mean, does he winning
from bats spawn? Or the worst spawn? I don't know. My bets on W are kind of winning this
now. Oh, do you still think Mafia is going to come back?
I feel like they had to win that round for it. Yeah, I think so too. I mean even losing
this sand river for W, you know, you just need to win one round on Pilsen and it's over,
right? So, it's a lot of pressure on Matthew now to kind of win this game.
And I just want to say, if it's 5-1, I feel like everybody's predictions was very wrong.
Even though you got the right team, it's like, you weren't really near it, you know?
No, everyone is expecting much closer game. And I think there's two nail on cliff kind
just will be the catalyst I guess for for W just kind of rolling over and creating the snowball
onto mafia. Let's see if they can finish it off though. 4-1 for W, match point, they're coming in
with the IRGN band, the STRV band from mafia, gives us a BZ and IS-7 a CS, a 140 and triple 430U for W.
Well, for Mafia, running out, STLV, 1BZ, 1DRAVIC, 1CENT, and 340US, I mean, judging by this
lineup, they're going K-LINE, with the CENT, at least.
Okay, didn't they play this yesterday against Dittenrum?
I remember the CENT.
Was the CENT correct?
Yeah, I remember talking about it.
Those are the key handles. Maybe you're watching someone else, but I remember them bringing someone.
I played for Fusus playing on the 7 lane, and I don't think he was playing on the X, I think he was playing on the 4 lane.
I can't remember who it was.
Maybe it was him front-taking it, I don't remember.
No, Pyotr on the communications tower, Conrad, does he get to reset on this?
If he gets it on time, he does find the reset on the 1st Pyotr.
Pyotr cannot take it right now. Triple cap is on by W. Rekstar is over there, takes two shots immediately.
Mentos will be going above him in towards that strike and Eitox coming off already looking at him as well.
The whole team is starting to push down. Eitox is the first one to take all of the damage though.
And now Rekstar needs to try and get a second shot out. He will start boosting away.
Mafia is going to put the chase on immediately. Mentos coming down with Pyotr as well. Everybody's chasing.
Ken Rekstar got one more shot. That's a big question already in the BZ. Yes, he can.
That's important for the later game actually and now these four to use are the first focus for Mafia
If they can get them out without losing too much in return
It will be a good start for them but Konrad in the hurricane getting far from behind that's Iosin as he has 63
He dies to itox now looking is going to be falling as well
And Mafia is down in HP nonetheless even with this initial engagement Kono is the next focus the strike comes out
It's going to hurt it will make him a one shot for the BZ 75 of Piotr looking getting body blocked by Piotr
There is no retreat, there is no surrender, and Mafia getting cleaned up in the riverbed right now.
Lukin is dead, sure, but the rest of the Mafia tanks are losing all across the map.
It is all over for Mafia, and the upper bracket finals, it will be W,
but a very convincing scoreline of 5-1 to put themselves in the AMD on Sub-Legend series finals.
Yeah, nice reaction from W catching this BZ on the ramp here.
I was a little worried when I saw them all coming K-Linder, but this was a possibility, but I mean, obviously,
you know, Matthew didn't know that a lot of the team was gonna get ready to hit this Rebush, and
it's just a nice game from W, catching this BZ, and then just gonna snowball in from there.
I mean, even had the topside with Ios with getting a strike as well.
I was a bit worried about him getting a strike, I thought maybe just coming in and, you know, shooting the
And then being above the rest of the team would have been maybe better, but it gets a double strike off, so not bad at all.
No, and there was a good crossfire from W, this Dravet's from combat on the top side, getting absolutely farmed by Ios from behind.
He takes a strike as well, puts that one down, and they lose the BZ, but they also lose the Dravet's for it, so it was actually a pretty good trade.
Yeah, very nice trade, Rax are only doing 1.32 shots, Connor doing also only 3 as well, so you just can't see what got focused at first.
W kind of just snowballed, really, you can't really complain I feel like for Mafia.
Maybe you should have been ready for this reaction, especially when you have a tank in mid, should be maybe ready,
I mean, I guess they thought we'll just get all the positions above them and we'll be okay
But I mean the strat it kind of just gets
Killed from above and yeah, you can't really go anywhere
well
Really good stuff on w convincing victory. They now get to relax and wait how mafia tries to make their way through the lower bracket
back towards the
the grand finals they would have to go through weekend who is waiting now for mafia in the
very next match actually.
Any predictions?
Mafia wins 5-3.
Yeah I think that sounds cool I mean in weekend it played very well against hit and run so
I have to say it will definitely be a close game.
Yeah, I don't think it will be as clear-cut as this one, but this one we also thought was going to be the long one.
And it didn't end up happening. I mean, 50 minutes and 40 minutes and job done for W.
Yeah, I mean, definitely working overtime, it feels for W. Just getting this game done and dusted very quickly.
Next game, Mafia, having to come back from this kind of humiliation really,
it's going to be tough for them.
I mean, they do have their second chance and we are about to watch them take that
and see if they can make their way through the lower bracket.
We're going to be right back.
When we come back, we'll see if Mafia or Weekend will be W's opponent in the grand finals.
Yeah.
It's not looking good, he's going to disappear, he's pretty powerful, the guy's trying, he is dead.
They are doing that because they're not stopping the strain on W, they are pushing forward, he's a one shot hyphens with 12 more kills, it's already duty.
and amongst us the Alcumbers that will be crushed under the heel of W
So when you're coming with us
Well, hello there and welcome back to the next match in the onslaught legend series season
6 sponsored by AMD and we just had an absolute cracker of a matchy and but it felt like mafia
were in some of those rounds just not able to get it over the finish line and now I mean
Yeah, if you ask the team, they're probably not happy with their performance, but they need to play immediately, again, against Weekend, that already knocked out the Polish brothers of hit yesterday.
So what do you think about the state of mafia right now, Ian?
Yeah, I mean, it's going to be really hard for them to kind of push this game that they just play past them.
them and I mean quite a few losses as you mentioned is kind of slipping from
their grasp I feel like the sand two sand rivers maybe one of these cliffs as
well kind of just thrown away a little bit by some player mistakes but you know
I would say the slightly better or the favorite I'd say against weekend but
yeah as you said weekend against in run kind of played them very well and here's
the roadmap for the next few months. Yeah as y'all know we are currently on the
last stream on the OLS and also OLF as we are going to have the finals of the North American series
just after this match just to give the European times also a little bit of time to prepare and to
be honest it's also always wonderful to have a look across the pond and see what the North Americans
are up to and then in June of course we'll have the relegations that are going to determine further
teams for the onslaught legend series season 7. That's going to become in a year
away later this year in September and October and then of course in July we
will have the onslaught summer arena. That is going to be a cross regional
tournament with teams from the European, North American and Chinese servers.
They're all going to be battling it out. To be honest last year's WICI was a
very interesting tournament to watch and I cannot wait here. We will for example have all OLS teams
represented there. We will also have the top two from OLS. We will have the top teams from the WCL
as well which is kind of the Chinese OLS that's going on and for each server there will be additional
chances to qualify so definitely keep your eyes peeled for that but now I think we should focus
mostly on the match at hand which is the one between weekend and hit so it's
gonna be a Ukrainian against a Polish team but the Ukrainian team so far so
good 100% win rate at least in these playoffs. Yeah I mean they're playing
very well but very well against hit and run so we could see an upset here for
for mafia but yeah I mean it'd be very nice performance from weekends especially
after performance in the last OLS so yeah from right to riches I guess
Yeah, I mean so far so good for them, but we have to remember we can't they have been here before in season four of the
OLS they were actually in this lower bracket finals and there they lost that is the biggest achievement
they have together as a team so far the third place off season four of OLS and of course for Mafia
nothing but winning counts they are past WCI champions past OLS champions as well so for them
knockout weekend here and get their revenge maybe at W because that was pretty one-sided if you
look at the scoreline that must be their goal right now but with the previous performance that
we've seen right now and not a lot of preparation time in between uh it's gonna be a question.
Yeah kind of questioning if they're running out of strats maybe as well because I mean the amount
of games that they've played by now is quite a lot so gonna be thinking if they're gonna start
replaying some strats and maybe having to save some for the final if they really think they're
going to get there. So it'll be interesting to see how they play. I think the biggest question
is going to be the mental state that Mafia is in right now because as you said some of the rounds
were very very very close so um yeah for them to get those few additional minutes and maybe
you know just step outside for a minute, touch a little bit of grass before playing again that
would be the order of the day. Meanwhile, though, Evelok, he has been stepping up for his team
for weekend almost 3.3k DPG. Pretty okay pen rate, considering some of the tanks that he is playing.
Seems like we have an upgraded CS63 in there. Sometimes not the most accurate. To be honest,
like with the Dravet, sometimes you are going to be trading against Hold on Dravzi as well. So,
So yeah, you can't really generate 100% penetrate with that, but yeah, definitely one of the
standout players for his team.
Yeah, for sure.
I mean, quite a versatile player as well, likes his ulti-loaders, likes his medium tanks
for strike, and yeah, just a nice overall player that you want to have in your team.
Yup.
And then for Mafia, I mean, mentally, I keep going back to the match that we just watched,
right?
Community prediction still seeing Mafia ahead. I guess it is just the bigger name here. 60% against 40%. Pretty round predictions as well, so the edge goes to Mafia here, but the community wouldn't put it past weekend to edge out the win here.
No, they definitely wouldn't and I would say that's the prediction is pretty fair obviously Mafia are more
established or
Just have one more things than weekend, but yeah as we said, you know winning against him running such a fashion
anything could happen
Absolutely, and yesterday the
Craziest thing to watch in that match was how weekend were able to adjust
through every round that was played, right? Whenever there was a new map, except for the
first one, Hit came in with a really good game plan, and to be honest, kind of demolished
weekend there, but then the second round of each map that was played, Weekend completely
turned it around, came in with some very, very interesting strategies, some which they
probably kept the lid on until now, and yeah, Mafia, I mean, we cannot be sure if they were
trying everything everything. Maybe they were hiding some strats in the upper bracket final
just to be able to use them in the finals but now that they've dropped down
they're kind of in a pickle because they need to advance. This is a do or die for them as well.
So if they were they are not going to be holding back anymore and now let us take a look at the
maps. The teams have done a live pick and ban so weekend didn't know either what they were going to
to play or who they were going to play up until very recently ago.
So Pilsen and Cliff taken out respectively, to be honest, that's not too surprising, especially
considering Mafia's performance on Cliff just now and Mafia's performance on Pilsen throughout
the season.
And then Weekend, I think they're starting on their signature pick of Tundra.
I've spoken with some of the captains and all of them were like, yeah, Weekend, I mean,
kind of a strong team.
And well, if you don't really want to play one map against them, then it's kind of
Tundra.
So yeah, for them to start on this one, it's definitely a comfort pick.
Mafia instead going for Ensk as the first map, which is probably good for them as we
didn't really see it against W, Westfield and Ruhenberg being banned out.
That leaves Sandriller as the next map and there may be the problems for Mafia going
to start because two close rounds losing both of them.
It was not a pretty sight.
No, and then ending up on Himmell, I mean, Himmell they played 1-1-1 against W, so definitely a fine pick, but I am interested on how they play on ends, obviously, I think they do want to play ends, they are quite happy to play ends, W banded against them because they didn't want to play against them on ends, so yeah, I mean, I would say both, all the picks for both teams make sense.
Yeah, overall, I think both teams are gonna have their weaker and also their stronger maps in all of this pick and ban in Ghost Town.
I think it's like a box of chocolates, right? It's kind of a big surprise what's gonna happen there, especially after we saw Weekend on it yesterday against Hit with a rather bad round to start off.
But then, how many 50Bs was it? Like four of them?
of them? Oh double bat and CS I think. Yeah so that one was indeed very interesting to watch so
if we get to a tiebreaker I wouldn't know what I would even say there of course until then we would
have watched eight maps to get there but yeah overall I think a very good set of maps between
both of those teams made the better one win but we are just going to wait an additional couple
of one, two minutes because if you've ever played tournaments before and you're coming off of a
crushing defeat like Mafia have just had against W then every single second that you get in between
to be able to play the next match kind of helps you out just that little bit. I mean for weekend
as well it's preparation time as I said they didn't know who they were going to play and on
which maps so I think both of the teams probably very busy at the moment. Yeah I mean Mafia probably
you just want to pick kind of what strats they want to play against weekend, you know, they want to see if, you know, weekend might be in more aggressive team, so they might pick some more kind of controlling strats that can account to this, or, you know, maybe they just do want to, you know, get a drink, have a bite to eat, touch some grass, we'll have to see, but predictions, everyone, everyone copying each other's homework.
Yeah, I don't know, I was like, what am I going to put?
Weekend played well yesterday, but I still think Mafia is the stronger team.
I don't think it's going to go to tiebreaker, but their weekend
are not going to get only two rounds either considering Tundra is going to get played.
So I was like five, three, and then I looked around and everyone else had put the same prediction.
And I was like, ah, well, yeah, I wanted to maybe bet weekend just to try and win the predictions.
But, you know, after all, we don't care about the predictions.
So, you know, I'm following in Daki's footsteps and just saying I'm not caring and coping if I lose.
All right.
Anyway, I think we're just about ready to hop into game number one of the lower bracket or some say loser bracket finals of the AMD all less season six.
Let's kick it off on tundra between weekend and mafia.
Mafia don't want to see a 50 B and weekend.
They watched the mafia games closely.
seems the MBY band coming out and that leaves mafia to play with a double BZ75, a Dravetseke 91,
the 140 and double 430U. And for weekend, five BZs, one CS and a 140. So yeah, pretty aggressive
lineup from weekend and I mean I think we've seen this before from them taking this very aggro lineup
so we'll have to see how mafia does without their M5Ys. I think the problem for weekend here is
going to be DPM most of all. Mafia have got that covered with the 430Us, they just need to be careful
that those don't immediately get blown out of the water and then we'll go from there. Both teams
sending most of their tanks towards the north but there is a little split going on from Mafia,
sending the K91 through the one line and the 140 actually into the south which is kind of unusual
at times. Both teams spotting a lot of each other's tanks, that is all busy, whereabouts known for the
the team of Mafia and now they're going to clash once again here in the North.
The K91 is going to go for the Info Tower.
Meanwhile, Kono with that 140 shooting from the side.
So, Weekend actually do know that there is two tanks out of game.
Do they want to over-push immediately?
Is the question Conrad immediately getting focused out?
Kano coming from the right with the 140 as Paradise takes the overlook.
But now, Mafia with a little bit of a counter-push.
Conrad still not dead.
Weekend are unable to focus him out as an artillery strike gets put.
I believe Kano was not able to take his.
So, but it's still a weekend strike and now chaos and sooth the double 430 from mafia are going to put in the work
Yeah, I mean we can try to dump over trying to catch these bz's and we can do did get double strike here
So I mean they do have a lot more DPM. They do get you know the stunning as well
So I mean you put the favorite on weekend they are gone off now and I mean Kono having to block for the bz
It's not really what you want to do in a 140 and it's starting to look not so great 3k down for
full mafia and here comes the over push from mafia trying to catch up the guns
paradise probably next on the truck and go another straf panda clowns diggers
well being focused out and I mean the health is not great for mafia but the
guns are pretty good guns are pretty good and now profuse is in the fight as
well with that machine gun k91 as the double 430 immediately gets countered
by weekend Conrad falling as well all of a sudden mafia playing a man down
they're able to equalize the gun but look at that HP advantage 3000 currently
for weekend and Sunshine is taking the shots but he is oh so healthy as Barkis bites the
dust as well. Once again the 2B3 and Evil should be able to finish off that one. 40 of Kono here
goes down to a two shot another shot to finish him off and prefers the team captain left alive to
pick off the pieces of this strategy that went very wrong. Mafia just like hit drop down from
the lower bracket and then lose the first round to Weekend. Hopefully for them, this doesn't
bow dill for the rest of the match. Yeah, Weekend is playing very strong, focusing out. I think it
was Conrad that went a bit too far. He wasn't with his team. He kind of had no cover, couldn't
have anyone shield him, and he just took the brunt of the first peek over by Weekend. They peeked
over with, I can't remember who it was, but some guy took 2,000 damage, he backed up making sure that
But if Matthew wants to get the kill, they have to push over and we can just manage to kind of catch the gun out, I think, and just kind of bad positioning, I feel, from that BZ, they just went a little too wide.
Yeah. I mean, once again, as I said, a lot of the teams are very careful when it comes to playing against Wicke and Don Tundra, and now we see why.
I mean, Evel, he gets 1400 strike damage and 7.2 in total, that still means he did 5.8 with his gun alone.
That is a crazy scoreline for a pretty short game
And then also maybe a problem for weekend that Kano gets picked up in that 140 isn't able to inspire through the whole game
But yeah weekend with that lower GPM
They're able to focus fire better and get the guns out of the game that matter because Rex and Orzhek
Yes, only 4k age but Perfus to have to do 7.3 because he was left alive for the longest time
I think this is kind of the problem here
Yeah, I mean, I think we can get two strikes and obviously they got one from evil, but
I feel like they got another one and I don't see any strike damage.
So maybe they didn't or they just missed it.
So I think we can just got one strike on evil and that was kind of it.
It was the northern one.
Maybe they got reset.
Yeah, it makes sense to try and stop that happening for Mafia.
But surprising that the 140 does so little damage as well.
you would think he played a bit more passively and make sure his inspires in the game. That's
probably why the game is honestly the only probably reason why it's so close really.
And I mean good focus fire for Mafia, but yeah, the bleed in the beginning I think
for Mafia was just a bit too much to overcome.
Well, phase one score Mafia was able to best weekend there. It was a three to two, so it
did go to tiebreaker, but obviously the stakes were nowhere near as high as they are in this
a slow bracket final.
So even showing then that they were a team to be reckoned with,
and I think Weekend are kind of the team
that throughout the season have shown kind of the biggest
improvement arc as well, if that made sense.
Like, they came in as open quality participant
in this OLS season.
And I mean, they make it to playoffs now.
And they are going to be in the top three for sure.
and the first round did not look bad
against, you could call them title aspirants from Mafia.
Yeah, I mean, it's a very nice round from weekend
and I'm guessing they hope to continue this form
that they're having at the moment.
And yeah, I mean, it's turned around from last season
is not a miracle, but just very nice from,
I guess the FC making some good players to come in.
And anyway, so Mafia banning 50B, weekend banning BZ.
So it looks like a heavy traffic lineup here. So we can bring four travics or travets once
Yes, 1140 and over to you
And
For the side of mafia we have a Dravet's triple MB y 1140 and a double 430 you so this time around the MB
Why not getting banned however clowns in that Dravets?
I don't know if he has timed out or if he has a PC crash or something like that
But that means unfortunately for weekend they're going to be starting a man down turn really an unlucky map
it seems for some of the teams out there as
Well the good thing for them kind of the silver lining is going to be that mafia
Don't really look for the immediate aggressive push as well
just because the 140 of profuse is going to take the infotower, but
Well full information now for mafia and they obviously see that the drama to start a game
What do they do with that is the question surprised we got so
kind of continuing and wanting to play this heavy north when they have a guy at the game. Proofers is just going to join them.
They're going to get gunned down. They will get two strikes, so I mean, they're going to have to hope that's enough for them,
but I mean, I would much rather have a whole bag in the game.
Absolutely. And now as the battle starts here, Evil starts to get focused out in that kind of squishy CS.
Yes, the strike goes down, but it's not really going to hit too much, but Konrad getting focused out hugely by the team of Weekend,
weekend already down to a one-shot still the travets out of game for weekend
this is absolutely disastrous for them as evil gets blown up trash panda probably
the next one to go Conrad falling as well so weekend they're kind of keeping it
close but realistically not really the 11,000 HP that they have it's 8,000 to be
honest in this fight as sunshine dies as well
carnal probably gonna get shot at by those one by those MVYs here that at
this point in time probably have built up quite a bit of DPM Rex are to ram
the one for the out of the game and well weekend this round kind of a non-starter for them and as
their afk cs immediately gets found out and they probably have to hope that they have a replacement
and for mafia so far so good they're going to equalize the score line it's gonna be one the one
yeah i think mafia obviously just realizing that they have the gun up and using that just to kind
of snowball the game obviously you don't want to be playing a 67 in any kind of fight and i'm so
I'm so surprised we can do go for this heavy north strat, but I guess they just have nothing
else they don't want to try and do something else, but I feel like maybe if they can play
a slow game, it's possible to come back or let the dragon come back, but maybe his internet
went out completely and something like that, so maybe they just want to go next.
But I mean, nice round from Mafia, nothing really to complain about from them, and yeah,
Oh, well, for weekend.
Oh, well, indeed. But the good thing for them is that round one, they essentially got the first one on the board for themselves. So the worst thing that's going to happen for them now is that the score is going to get equalized as mafia make it as quick as possible with the cap.
Not sure you need more than three tanks on it, but well, they do it regardless and so now we find ourselves at this scoreline
Of a 1-1, but of course there is
I guess two problems for we can now one is
Having to replace a player while playing a match of course always is not the nicest of experiences and two this was their map
Take tundra. They wanted to go up to oh here. It's gonna be a 1-1. It's not the end of the world, but it's not great either
Yeah, I mean for weekend
Obviously they wanted to make it 2-0 on that pick, but things happen I guess and it's going to make this battle I guess more exciting for us, I mean it looks like hopefully we're not going to get the same as last game and weekend or mafia win the next four rounds, but yeah I mean nice damage from the M5Ys onto mafia's side and
It's surprising that they banned BZ from Weekend for the Stragas, they just don't want to fight BZs in the North and much rather be okay with getting the Stragas I guess.
And as I said, that means the first map is going to get split one to one, which in turn means we are headed into map number two.
And I think the pace of gameplay together with the tanks that are going to be picked is going to change quite considerably because we're about to head into Ensq.
So Mafia picking them up where close corner fights aren't gonna be on the menu
Yeah, we'll have to see what both teams want to do. I mean this heavy type 5 meta seems to be
Slightly going away slightly most people banning the type 5 just to kind of stop this like taking people taking four type 5s
And just you know holding positions, but I have to see if we can obviously the more aggressive team. I
Do wonder what they're gonna do. Do you think they're gonna bring six blizzks and just go push?
It's a possibility. I mean, it could always happen, but the problem is those kind of one-trick
pony strats are sometimes a little bit difficult to execute, so we'll see where it takes us.
As phase two scores being shown here, Mafia taking the 4-1 victory is so pretty convincing,
at least in phase number two but of course as we saw yesterday we can maybe
have been hiding out on us a little bit yeah I mean I would imagine they still
have some strats that they still want to play I mean obviously only playing one
game yesterday to get over the line against hit and run one as well like
five three definitely still have some strats and they don't think they played
ensq so I have to see what they want to do and we can't banning with like five
Mafia banning Bliska and weekend looks like they want to play aggressive with
450 Bs, double Bs and a 140 Bs. And Mafia meanwhile are going to play a bit more
laid-back with a Dravet's, a mouse, a Foshby, Tripoli 4 and a Tessac. However the
problem for Mafia is going to be that the Tessac, what it does on Ensq, is mostly
counter those juggernaut TDs but if we take a look over at the weekend lineup
there are zero of those so let's see if mafia haven't possibly miscalculated a
little bit the plane does go down so we can immediately will know that there is
plane LT but you know the amount of spots coming out of that plane and the
amount of damage generated on to sunshine is actually pretty good that's
pretty significant damage sunshine already down to 1.5 and I mean it's kind
of mice from Mafia having this LT spotting out all the 50 bees they know what they're
doing and Trash Panda has just been left alone.
Yeah of course weekend they were sending the BZ75 here it almost looks like a high impact
gameplay from a well-known British streamer that's not called Ian as Trash Panda doesn't
stick it on the cap anymore instead he's going to drive away and weekend are going to push
with that quidruple 50B they all get spotted by the mouse but the mouse is obviously a big
and Mity target to shoot through as Clonesic gets a cheap end from one of the E4s
and the next penetration from Pufus as well 1100 plus.
This is not the engagement that the 50Bs wanted.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like Mafia kind of just had a fantastic opener for what we can do.
Having these LTEs putting out everything in the beginning, they kind of know what we can want to have.
And I mean, they're just ready with the E4s, loading full HG as well, 1000 damage per shot.
It's gonna be extremely hard for weekend to do kind of anything in this game after this
I think it's I don't want to be that guy that
That guy I mean take a look at the HP it's
6,000 difference here the 50 bees haven't managed to find a single good engagement yet
And the problem is not only are we can down in HP?
They're down on the tanks that actually matter as Barkas with the force be is gonna be trading
but he is not even gonna care because a lot of that HP is gonna come back so yeah weekend
they still have seven tanks alive, but their hopes of winning this round are very much
ditched just like trash panda and evil who go down in a very quick follow-up fashion conno with
that 140 yeah he's gonna be DPMing now but what doesn't matter his team is crumbling around him
and mafia in this first round on ends they uh yeah i mean master class and also the tactic
coming out from weekend i'm not sure about it coach yeah i don't think you can play this many
50 bs if if the e4 and type 5 are not banned then i don't think it's possible maybe if the e4 is
banned but yeah i mean i i don't know maybe the test act just made all the difference here you know
if you don't have this info that you know they're playing so heavily in the city and you get caught
with something in the city like this mouse or something maybe but yes no maybe you can't really
be sure there but i think the uh yeah once again with those 50 bs they can work very well and i think
taking quadruple 50 b it's it's kind of an all-in strap that you can you can use from time to time
I mean, we can, yesterday, definitely prove that they have the individual player skill for doing that, which some of the teams don't, let's be real here.
But if you're driving into a bunch of E4s and you're not able to swarm them, instead you're driving in front of them sideways and you're taking a G-shell for 1K+, while not being able to empty your clip, that's not good news.
Yeah, really not great. I mean, it's very much an all-in kind of stratton.
I mean, maybe they've been playing training against Mafia and they just thought they were
going to catch something in the city, but has Mafia played this lifetime before?
I think someone has, right?
It was mostly Cashback who played it with Liberty.
I think he was also the one to pioneer this style of play on Insk, but it seems like Mafia
have taken a page out of Cashback's book.
the homework a little bit maybe improved it after and so this is how mafia are now going to start
turning the match around i mean starting with a loss and then two in a row that's going to make
two to one for you yeah i mean we can now kind of need to stabilize the game i feel i don't think
they want to play some aggro strat again the thing they want to make it two two go into the next
map which is it there map pick no it's it's still uh it's still gonna be a mafia map pick but uh the
The thing is that deep into the pick-and-ban, you're only deciding the order in which the maps are going to be played,
so it doesn't really matter that much anymore when it comes to sort of the confidence of the teams playing on it.
If you're that deep into the pick-ban, you should be confident playing on any map that's left.
But first of all, we are going to have the second round of ENSC that is up and coming,
and if the first one is anything to go off of, it doesn't board well for weekend.
No, not exactly. I don't know. I think they'd probably rather play Southern River against Mafia,
especially after them losing these two games against W. But, you know, if Mafia improve
these little mistakes that they did against W, I think they'll be winning.
But yeah, it felt like Mafia were playing at 99 percent and W, I wouldn't say they were playing
perfect, but maybe at 100 percent. Okay, let's say a W at 99 and Mafia at 98, but between teams
like those it can make the difference right because neither team played without mistakes here but
either team also could afford to make some mistakes which is not really the case anymore
in this match as mafia are going to be banning the e4 weekend don't want to see the type 5 heavy
once again that leaves the 50b to be picked but i think we can after getting that bloody nose just
now probably not going to go into that deeply mafia bravats eyes for triple bliskovica and a
the Fosh B times two. And for weekend one
traffic 1140 with optics is trying to
spot a cross. 143 double Liska, one Fosh
and an E3. I think I prefer Mafia's line
up a lot more to be honest. Yeah, kind of
same here. They have sort of those
holding tanks especially the I-4 can
look very very well. So let's see how
this one opens as Mafia. They're kind of
of setting up a trap on the field with those bliskovitzas. Paradise he's popping the ability
to be able to move quicker into the position, maybe be able to aim quicker as well. Konrad
and Karno exchanging spots as Sunshine with the 430 does go for the strike. And I think
Mafia were expecting a very, very aggressive play on the field and that makes them look
kind of stupid now as they're staring sort of into nothingness into the void with those
bliskovitzas that aren't really able to do anything weekend are going to be picking up
the first neutral objective. Yeah, for Mafia, I mean, the
boss B in the city takes the spotting first before the strike just to get the info to
see where we can go and they are fully spotted out and we can still don't know where Mafia
is because they did not have any kind of spot. They know that probably the Drabix on the
zero line, they know probably something's on eight lines because they knocked a tree
in the beginning and they know something's sitting there over the eyes for us, but so
three or four times unsported, I don't know why they are
well let's see what's gonna happen here now as the 140 and the posh b in the
city might be uh yeah battling it out um in that city although cono i think
looking for a little bit of a trap here as uh
Yeah, um, I'm not sweating across though.
I shouldn't see anything crossing towards the city.
I don't, it didn't spot 140, right?
So, don't think it's known, the common,
the one, now it's known, but
it doesn't think you'll be careful, the one, the Foschbeetle.
I mean, he saw the second Foschbeetle, but I don't think he saw the first Foschbeetle.
That is kind of very far pushed up, so, Matthew,
do have a lot of information, do have a lot of map control, but they still need to convert this, of course.
Also that E3 from N's north, it has been quite the usual pick for some time now.
Sunshine getting a good shot into Kono, he's not going to be getting back that HP,
and now that Weekend actually got fully spotted with that Info Tower, the 140 probably wants to run as he does.
So, yeah, let's see. Sunshine is gonna pick up the second strike.
Oh, evil looks and he peeks into the street.
He sees the corner, but he opts not to cross.
Yeah, I mean, I think these Foshen 114 now are kind of trapped in what they are just in this position.
Now, they can't really leave. I think this Foshen does see them leaving.
So, I mean, I feel quite happy just to cycle strikes here.
We'll get two strikes up. Sunshine has one. He used the previous one.
We can't wait to make the move on the field it looks like.
Well, Sunshine getting spotted out now by that Bliskevitzel of Yuzek, but the shot is going to bounce so far, so good for them as Sunshine.
I'm not sure if he's maybe not driving too deeply here, but a good artillery strike is going to connect him to two Bliskevitzels,
only one of which is able to reduce the damage, and that is a lot that's coming into Mafia currently, but for Fus once again on the field.
on the field. We have seen him play this position time and time again before a good strike from
Mafia to reduce a lot of those tanks on the weekend side as well. Hellrapp getting completely
blown up and Weekend on the green are driving into a crossfire from which there is absolutely no
remedy counter push from Mafia. Sunshine the next one to blow up and that's going to be three
unanswered kills for the team of Mafia that are going to make the map of Ensq their home
and they are going to put the score to a 3-1.
Yeah, I mean, Matthew's kind of on clean up duty now and just catching everything left.
And this double tank in the city, we're just kind of completely out the game, and this weekend push, I feel like it's ill-advised.
I mean, the pushing was five into four, but IS-4 joins.
They don't manage to kill the Dravik on the zero line, which I feel like they should have just tried and killed him first,
but they kind of just push into the 7 and 8 line and then they have no positions, they're in crossfire and yeah, Blizzka's enjoy when you push into them.
Definitely, I mean you don't need to re-aim, you kind of got a stationary gun, you can take aim, you can also wait for the enemy to come a little bit closer so you deal more damage with that Blizzka.
Overall, I think Mafia mentally just one step ahead of Weekend on ends, and they reward themselves with two points on that map, making it a 3 to 1. Good for them.
And yeah, we were kind of doubting the mental of Mafia a little bit before the match, or at least I was.
I now feel like the 15-minute sort of that they had between the two matches, they used it well.
They're starting to really edge ahead a lead here and deserve at least.
I mean, of course it is kind of unfortunate for Weekend with that second tundra around,
but I mean, on Ends, at least there is absolutely no discussion who the better team was.
Yeah, I mean, Mafia with this last round kind of just had all positions, this ice-full spots, the rotation.
They have strike control with double fosh. They can't leave with the fosh and 140 in the north
They try something on the 9-0 and yeah, I mean just goes horribly really
But in San Riven next as well for weekend
I
Hope they've learned from what mafia played against w
But I mean you'd think mafia gonna play something completely different or at least something different. I
I mean weekend we're probably watching the match for sure and mafia know that weekend we're watching and weekend know that mafia know that weekend we're watching right you know what I'm getting at so yeah I think maybe mafia are going to be playing possibly the same tanks or the same bands again but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are going to be playing the same strats.
Yeah, I mean, you'd think so anyway, it's just a mind game of whatever's gonna happen.
And, you know, if we do get 1-1 on Sunriver, we do enter Himmel, and I feel like Mafia
can get 1 round on Himmel, and I feel like it's all over at that point.
Well, they did get 1 round on Himmelstorf against W, and that was the only round they
actually got in the match.
So, yeah, let's first of all see though, on Sand River, I mean, as I said, this deep
into the pick ban, you're essentially deciding on the order of maps, not anymore which ones
will get played and which ones won't, because there is just two more picks plus the decider
map left, so you know that if you're going to play until tiebreak, you will play all
of those rounds on all of those maps.
So yeah, let's see what the teams are gonna come up with.
The good thing for Weekend, I guess, here is that
Sanruba as a map, compared to ENCE, plays entirely differently.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like ENCE doesn't fit Weekend's playstyle really at all.
So, we'll have to see, play BAN-STRV, or both teams ban STRV,
and since Weekend is changing, we'll go,
Mafia is going, 1Dravak, 1NPy, 1CS, 1E50M,
double-four to you, and a Hides.
And for the team of Weekend we do have the double dravettes, we have the MBY, we have...
Ah, no concept, okay.
So we have double dravettes, MBY, we have a 1 CS63 and triple 430U.
Notably on the UDAS of Prefuse we have radio equipment and purple optics.
So he probably wants to play the crown again and just, you know, fade into the bushland.
Yeah, well, he obviously wants to sit in that bushes probably on the E4, probably think
What to see, it looks like Mafia wanting to contest the cap in the beginning, they'll get the strike in the middle and if you're the end taking the north as well, he's kind of alone.
I mean, there's traffic that's going here. I feel like we might have a repeat of the game we just watched against W and Mafia.
Well, let's see what's going to happen as Trash Panda in the south is going to spot out the MBY of Orzhek and there's double 432 together with a maybe triple 432 actually that are headed the way of Orzhek here.
Karno in that Dravet's taking a lot of damage for being out in the open probably was spotted by the UDAS as
Kono is farming him and
Prefuse as well with that UDAS making his presence known as weekend they storm over and flood over the cap
But they're driving into a lot of enemy tanks as Conrad the first one to get focused out on the side of Mafia
Strike going down on towards you second Park is it's gonna connect but clowns a very dangerous below even sunshine not far behind with
with only 1,000 Conrad dripping down to a two-shot-esque,
Kano gets obliterated, the first one to die.
So now, weekend, they need to make some kills,
but instead they get sent to the grave by a team of Mafia
that just have the better crossfire at this point in time.
It is three kills versus only one,
and weekend kind of falling apart on this first Sandriddle
just don't have the HP anymore in the game
to make up for this initial bad engagement.
Yeah, this Dravak that went on the F line on the top,
just kind of made a mistake.
I think he thought Matthew maybe was playing full topside, didn't think the Z15 was going to be in the north
and he just gets caught out and he just, like I don't know if he did any damage, maybe he'd done one or two shots
and that just gives a full map control to Matthew and at that point you're, as they did,
we can just have to re-bush into this bad crossfire into the low ground and at that point it's just kind of over.
Hellropped now, receiving the overpush by Orzhek, uses the ability to stay alive for one more shot, but that's gonna be all she wrote for weekend on that first round of Sand River and Mafia once again just seemed like the team with the better plan on this map.
map. I don't think we can really stood a chance with the engagement that they took. Not sure
if it is maybe a little bit of tilt as well on the side of weekend, but I don't really
feel like this push over the cap and then into the crossfire positions was ever going
to work.
No, I mean, I don't think it's ever going to work, but I guess they felt pressured to
do something, you know, I mean, you know, the drama does 1000. I mean, somehow it's even
better than Clansic so not great from both of them but yeah I just I don't know
it's just kind of falling apart for weekend I mean I think they got some
confidence from this first tundra and then they had this crash or whatever
happened to the graphic on tundra and then kind of just snowballed out of that
control well let's see they've got one more shot one more opportunity because
now mafia in this best of nine of course they just need one more round to finish it all off
against weekend that yeah realistically had one good round one unfortunate round and then to be
honest since three rounds where they just got wrecked yeah i mean kind of i don't want to say
showing levels but yeah it's mafia playing really really strong here looks a completely kind of
a different team when they were playing against W. So nice for Mafia, they're on bad sides
and rivers, so you'd kind of maybe expect Weekend to maybe try and get this one over
the line, but I mean our prediction is probably going to be right on the winner, but yeah,
Weekend underperforming.
Well definitely, and the thing that made them win the match yesterday against Hit, their
adjustment throughout the match to whatever Hit was doing. The problem here is that I
don't really see any of it currently at this point in time like it felt like
weekend we're waiting to see what hit we're gonna do on every map and then
the second time the map was played they would respond with something but here it
just feels like mafia is mafia is driving all over them yeah it's just
some personal mistakes obviously the sand river last time with the traffic if
each sits into the correct position like under the ridge line and he holds for a
a lot longer, you know, they do have some time to play the K-Line, maybe push it out,
get this in fact wire off the position and kind of slow play, but this traffic makes
a mistake, forces Mafia weekend to do something and yeah, it's just a bad play to do anything,
I guess.
Well, Mafia are still going to keep that STRV band while we can't go for the Dravitz
band.
That of course still leaves a lot of vehicles open for either team to play, so Mafia are
going to start with the trusty old IS-7 double MVY K91 times 2, a 430U and an RHM.
And for weekend 1 and 5 Y on CS, double K91 as well, one for the UDES and an RHM as well.
It's a very light liner for weekend here.
Also, Karno in the UDES seemingly not a radio equipment enjoyer.
Instead, going with that turbo to up the top speed of this tank a little bit sunshine.
A plane, he gets three. Meanwhile, Kono only sees two, that is the K91 and the UDES.
And so, Sunshine is maybe going to try and stick the Info Tower. The shots whiz past him, so he's going to be able to steal it away,
and that reveals the entirety of the team, of Mafia.
I mean, I think we're into such a much slower game for weekend here.
I have to see if this is going to work for them, but so far so good.
I mean, they have info rated one for one, so it's not bad.
They're getting strike as well.
It's just we're in for a long game, I think.
Well, sunshine by picking up that artillery strike is actually going to generate a level three plane.
So that's a very powerful tool that Mafia probably suspect and need to be careful now.
Clowns not with the best of trades against Barker's here, rather a donation of HP.
and that is also going to be an additional charge for Bacchus in the MBY
who is just going to be DPMing with that American heavy tank.
Meanwhile, a weekend long rotation through the north
going to go there with an RHM and a 430U.
You can see Reksa trying to blind the positions that the weekend tanks would be in probably in a bit
but aren't quite yet and Jusek in the meanwhile in the MBY of his own is going to push back glancing.
Yeah, glancing is taking about a thousand damage.
So not great from him, but he is holding this K-Line.
He might be a little bit in trouble,
because I7 might give him a shot if he gets spotted and he does.
He might take on the I7 here.
No, not shooting with the I7.
Okay, he just he wants to get striking.
He does get away on all of his health and.
But I mean, they are still never mind.
Yeah, Conrad with a little peak there in the middle of the map
with the I7, but he did get what he wanted,
which was a lot of damage on two clowns and now for weekend I think the
yeah the times are getting dire to be honest if they weren't already another strike is going to
connec- connect on to Konrad in the middle of the map they are going to keep denying that
artillery strike. Oh good shot into Orzhek from Hel-Rap though so slowly but surely edging back
a little bit paradise once again using the strike probably on Konrad and yes the strike does get
denied again. Meanwhile Kano with that UDES gonna get a big artillery strike so
they might be able to deny it for even longer. Yeah I mean I think they just
want to reset him just so the UDES can get the strike. Oh Trash Panda! I don't know about that
peak from Trash Panda but I mean Mafia in good position about 2k up and I do
think they can keep on getting these double strikes so I feel like weekend
are on a little bit of a timer.
Yeah, weekend they do have two big strikes, they're going to take one more infotail, but
Evel actually getting spotted, getting reset, so it seems like Mafia time and time again
they have been able to settle into these defensive positions on Sand River from the east, where
basically two of the strikes are under their control, another shot from music into Evel,
and then the other team, yes, they get two Info powers and a terrorist strike of their
own, but in the long run, Mafia are always able to outlast the other team in these kinds
of positions and I think that's why HellRap is starting to make a move with the 430U onto
Orzhek. That does get striked heavily, a big strike already getting used onto Orzhek,
but HellRap currently doesn't really want to commit in. I don't think he spots out Orzhek,
does Kana use his other strike again. Currently, the Inspire is still active for the side of
Weekend. Oh, HellRap taking a shot while not retaliating. That's not the best thing for
No, I think he kind of wanted to go in, but maybe he realized that Mafia do have three strikes
So he would lose that fight. I mean, obviously they have one of their own on the Udes
But I think he would lose that fight. Rex would obviously give
shots the hellwork if he did dump in as well
But I mean we can they can somehow maybe strike out or Jack and then hold from that
They might have something to play for but I think Mafia in a very good position
Fresh Panda in the meanwhile is going to pick up yet another strike but you can see what
happens in return. Two of them simultaneously are getting capped by mafia and if they weren't
already then now they are sure to have that nuclear arsenal absolutely built up. That
is five strikes. Let me quickly calculate 425 times 5. That's a lot of damage. It should
be 2125? Sounds right. So I'll take your word for it. But I mean, they could even get two
more of it. They really wanted. I mean, obviously, I certainly probably won't leave. They could
maybe get another one with Rexx life, like he would get replaced by proofoose. And obviously,
they thought that you probably can't get one. So they could get six strikes altogether to
strike something. And I mean, they get ready for to strike another tank. So I think with this
many strikes, you actually start to come into the range where no tank is safe anymore, right?
If trash panda, for example, gets spotted, he's on 1700 or clowns for that matter. Like, he's not
low HP, but he is one strike salvoable, if that makes sense. So, yeah, mafia are just saying, hey,
if you're kind of keep on doing that, we are going to get a big strike on every single one of our
tanks and then at the end of the game we're going to strike one of yours
completely to death and then we win by rules. A little worried about Trashpunder
being spotted at all at the moment. I mean they want to try and catch Orzhek to
try and get him out but Trashpunder I think here it comes. Yeah, 400, 800, 1200.
I mean he is living. Someone strike Hellrapped instead so I mean it's possible
they're gonna catch Orzhek here and Trashpunder will live a bit. Oh Hellrapped
bouncing though. He's gonna try and get the crowns. Trashpander now on 30 health, hellwrap
on 300. He's gonna actually get that with a small strike and the one-for-one trade, but
the health is not looking great. No, we can definitely on the receiving end there of the stick
in that exchange. Yes, Mafia had to use a lot of strikes, but well, they have a lot of them
to pick up again. Profuse once again is going for a strike. There was one more left so hellrap is
going to die struck from the heavens and now profuse once again. He does have another one.
Karno overpeaking in the middle of the map with that UDES takes two shots for it has to go back
weekend down two tanks down 6000 HP at this point in time and yeah they did look okay on Tundra
but Ensk, not their map, and Sand River, they're going to have PTSD from all those strikes.
Yeah, I think Mafia are probably very happy of how these Sand Rivers went after kind of disappointing
against W and I think winning in this fashion against a team of weekends, going to help them
a lot with confidence going into the Grand Final. Also imagine on the Polish team speaks when the
players of Mafia are going to be meeting the players of hits like what? You have trouble with weekend.
But, yeah, of course for Mafia the journey is not over in this tournament.
They are going to once again have to take it up against a team of Ws that looked very much better than Mafia.
At least in the first match that we saw, that's going to be later today.
First of all though, Mafia on a victory road in this match here as Jusek and Kono are trying to enjoy their last moments in this game.
Evil now gonna push on to use that but carnal evil dying leaving only clowns alive and
Yeah yesterday against it. We saw a lot of promising things by weekend, but today against mafia
Didn't even really feel like the same team to be honest
The mid game adjustments they just weren't there and mafia. I mean
especially those last four rounds here they looked
extremely comfortable coming out from the Polish team very convincing win from
Matthew and any predictions for the final because I have no idea you to bet on
anyone I think there hasn't been a single final yet in which I in which I
predicted for W so I guess I'm gonna do that now but I hope it'll be a rather
close and cooler for affairs I'm gonna say six to four yeah I'm feeling going
for mafia just to try and get to banter's points but I don't know it's
just like W playing into mafia last time that's just so well played from W and
mafia is making some slight play mistakes so I don't know I mean you can see
the damage totals from that game, gone on doing 4.3, pretty good damage in an RHM to
say he is the light tank of the team.
Yep, and actually not that much strike damage for him, but yeah, the fact that every single
player almost on the team of Mafia has strike damage, some of them need more than big strike,
it just goes to show that this must not have been a fun experience for the team of Weekend.
Overall, they are going to be not happy right now, but on the other side of the coin, they have managed to do once again a repeat of their best performance ever in OLS.
They were third in season four, they are now third again. I would say they have looked stronger than Cashback in this season for sure, so possibly the strongest Ukrainian team that we've seen just now.
And I mean, for Mafia, the journey not over, but they will probably want to adjust a little bit how they played against W, because that certainly wasn't it in the upper bracket finals, so after two 5-1 scorelines, we now have our grand finalists finally.
I realize that sounds a little bit dumb, but yeah, the all-est grand finals are going to be happening in between W and Mafia.
and also there is one more interesting thing W so far have a 100% OLS playoffs match win rate
and I'm not talking season 6 I'm talking every season they either made it to playoffs and won
everything or they didn't make it to playoffs. Wow that is some stat I guess and next game
double me that's Matacito another interesting game to be there rematch from upper bracket so
should be interesting for the next game. Yeah yesterday Mattesito not looking too
good there but they had some time to adjust so let's see how that one's
gonna go we're gonna be right back with with some action from North America
after some replays take it away
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome back to the AMD OnSword Legends series season 6
playoffs, the grand finals on the North American server between Dopamine and
Mata Sito. Yeah, I mean we have seen those teams facing off against each other
yesterday already. I would have to say it was a fairly one-sided affair, but the
same can be said about the follow-up match where Mata Sito hopefully gained
some confidence, gained some momentum for today, because yeah the remaining
$12,000 are on the line if you win you double up and especially for the South
Americans I think that's a pretty substantial difference right? For sure
for sure this is the bracket again dopamine beating MataCita 5 to 1
MataCita beating Stipe 5 to 1 now we have the grand final it's no longer a
best of 9 it's a best of 11 which is a long distance and MataCita will
definitely to play a lot better than yesterday if they want to carry the
victory for them. Nonetheless, getting a second place here for them in their first
tournament together, is a success. Yeah, definitely. I mean, we have had a bunch
of iterations with exactly those players playing split over, I mean, more mixed
teams like English-speaking teams, I would assume. Some of them have played
and stacked some of them have played in like the other
burbology and iterations of fumes I think but yeah now it's time to show
what they have prepared and I think dopamine is the big favorite
not gonna lie but Matassito has shown promising
promising approaches let's say like this this has to be a bit more careful with
not going off the script too much.
Yeah.
I mean, the maps will say a lot that Mata Sita needs to start the match better yesterday
against Dopa when they kept getting called off guides by Dopa who made good peaks and
good pushes.
I just felt like Mata Sita was very split.
Yeah.
I mean, we'll have to see how they have made their strategies today if they want to basically
continue playing this kind of like off meta play style or if they want to play
like the more standard approach hockey here one of their standout players I
think he has been one of the players that always ended up more towards the top
of the leaderboards in all the seasons 3.3k average damage K-91 played I
I think he played one round of each, the T57 and Vliska.
So, yeah, top performer, he has played around 20 rounds
I think so far.
So the 1.7 KD also speaks for himself,
staying safe and making sure that the K91 does the job.
He's been doing pretty well.
Don't let him hear the said that
because you're never gonna hear the end of it.
But you know, Ferret, I think it's going to be back in the lineup.
Me and him were warming up yesterday together, you know,
whipping him back in shape, grinding an A on the slot.
I mean, he just joined the training room, so let's see if he stays on the bench
or if he's allowed to, you know, move up and...
Yeah, I mean, he just wrote into the chat himself, moving people down.
So it looks like he's gonna play. I have to say yesterday
I didn't feel like there was a disadvantage for
For the guys from Dopa playing with their substitute players
players I'm not sure if it's usually melee or blur that is like the the eighth player that is rotating
but
Matase too didn't really look like they had a chance in the match against Dopa yesterday
Perhaps, Pilsen is the map that dopamine wants to play.
Of course, to explain why do they get to pick this, this is the advantage of going through
the upper bracket without having a second life in the tournament.
It means you get to pick and ban first because they need a little bit of an advantage, right?
However, sometimes that advantage is not that much of an advantage, Phil.
We've seen it time and time again that sometimes this first pick ends up swinging back like
a boomerang and the other team picks it up to 0. Then you know it's not that much of an advantage.
But Pilsen is the first, Himmels is the second, Thundrais is the third one in between these two.
Then we move on to Ruinberg after the Ghoston ban from Maticito and then we go to Cliff. And if
Cliff is not enough we go to End. So what maps did they already play against each other yesterday?
I think we saw Westfield, that was when they overpushed the North.
We saw Cliff in the other match, that was the one where Deft was crashing.
Did they play Runeberg against each other?
I'm going to go check.
I'm looking for it. I'm navigating. Where did it go Phil?
Okay, well then I guess I'll talk you through. So yesterday we started on Sand River. That was when
Mataseito played this push in the north where they had a nice crossfire situation. Then we went on
Westfield. Westfield was when it was two overpushes by Dopamine, 50B, and Betschert were kind of
cord of guard. And then Ensk was the last map that we saw, that was when we had like this T57
that drove into the rock or into the wall, and then the 50B being cord of guard. So,
2-0 on Ensk, 2-0 on Westfield, and at the beginning the 1-1 on Sand River.
Predictions across the board in favor of dopamine, nice copy by you and Kihand for the 6-3, very good to see.
I was actually thinking about going 6-1 even because I feel like dopamine is just much better.
but you know there were some promising things from from water yesterday so
showing the respect where it's due.
We have just loaded into the match so the band phase is about to finish. How do
you feel about lighting versus no light tank here on Pilsen? I think lights
It's very good to be honest in general for the info, the spots as well, the early info, especially the later one as well for rotations,
they get a communication tower and both teams are going to be going for that as well.
Type band by Dopa, EBR band by Matasito, gives us an RHM, a Fosh B, a K921 and even a 100 and a 50B to start it off for Dopa, I mean.
And it seems like Floki is not playing today because I see Magnan in the lineup.
I'm not sure if that will make a significant difference, but he had some good performances yesterday
Triple 50 BE 100 is an interesting combination that we don't see
that often especially
the E 100 has kind of like struggled playing against some of the other tanks like e4s and
I mean the be also clips very nicely because it can
track end damage from the side which is not possible with a mouse but obviously the E-100
doesn't have HE like the type which can like give that much damage back that you feel like the
burst wasn't really worth it. There is a push coming triple 50B but Spirit is in position so if
they're over pushing onto PM it will be quite costly. Well Spirit's timing is not great though
He was just leaving A1 actually.
He's gonna be swinging back towards that.
I think he's gonna make it as well without being spotted.
So nonetheless, he does make it,
but he does miss out on a little bit of damage
because of it. Chopa doesn't use the Plane Spirit.
Was bought from Self Finds, another one Sebastian.
The third one goes in towards the back of that one as well.
Gets one on Franchini also.
Now Sebastian peeking.
They're peeking with the 50 Geese.
Do they have enough to blow up Spirit?
That's the question here.
Can he go safe?
They're starting to clip him out.
That's Rolombi with the Plane from the back line spirit
in the healing part.
He's dead! He's gone!
To be honest, I think he should just stay frontally.
I think he should have just driven down to a C2 when he's at Skippen.
Or that, but he went sideways and obviously they're able to count the shells that were fired.
I'll just hop there by himself.
That is maybe a bit overeager. He loses 1.2, he might actually get replayed.
His plane just went off cooldown. He makes it around the corner, so he's safe for now
But that will be some map control taken by
Dopamine has the big strike. You can see Hockey is having that one and the moment he places it
He will also get his level 3 strike for potential second decap
the plane has
Went onto the cap and I guess that strike is being deployed to decaps both on Kenway and the CS
and I guess Hector will get a decap by PM. PM is shooting HE in that scenario though but
all of the 50Ds covering Vova is there as well. Blur is coming in. They want to make
sure that they're ready for this but the 57 is sneaking in from behind. That's John
GM. They spot out each other though. That's Blur and John GM spotting out one
another. Can anyone now coming on the outside? The Crossfire dopamine has more HP at this
point. They're still down again. John, very committed though, inside of this factory area.
get spotted out as well Vova covering and so far the game slows down yet again the 100 is the
one left up front drop and he's be careful in the RHM takes a shot there's drop down
can wait taken two as well from the 50B player now coming in as well once they give John the shot
where Vova needs to help for that I don't think this is something they could do now they could
shot from Vova though trading three for one and I don't think John is currently a point of interest
they can't really push him.
Yeah, and I mean, Vova is also in the situation where there's so much ground that the tanks of Matassito would have to cover to push him,
that he can very easily get another full reload through, which in those auto loaders is obviously the critical thing,
that you cover the time where you're in the long reload.
And now you can see those four bars there, fully reloaded.
There is currently no strike available.
It still has to be picked up by the KNN1 and looking at Siebes there would be a strike to prevent him from taking it
Actually Hockey gets strike with a small strike
So this might be a problem. There's a big strike again
PEM I need to get a reset here because Hockey is about to get strike here once again. There is the
Where is the decap on towards the KNN1 from the big strike? I could actually use that one
Yeah, just now.
So now there needs to be a reset. And who is he going to be?
Fair to drive in on towards Sebastian.
Will find success against him. Does BM get a reset angle here at the very last second?
Does he get it? He doesn't. The game gets captured.
Fair does find the kill, but it's all over nonetheless.
There was no reset for Dopa.
I mean, they end up losing the very first round on Pilsen.
Yeah, I mean, a bit of a surprise how that match ended.
It looked fairly well for them, and then they maybe got a bit over eager,
got a bit overconfident maybe and yeah it was just not good enough.
No, they almost came back though but good resets there from Atacito on towards the K-91
stopping him from getting the decap. Nobody else was in position to get the decap on time.
I think they relied a bit too much on the K-91.
I mean the K-91 was kind of like trying to farm into the sides.
see Hockey dealing significant amount of his damage actually and strike damage
ended up doing four shots of normal damage and yeah I mean he did get his
a hundred decap points but you know with multiple tanks in the cap that can be
strike that's not a biggest achievement and then in the end yeah good
coordination from Seaverse and from Magnan in the CS because this 500 strike
damage there from the bottom damage CS was very critical. That's two resets.
Indeed. And Mats, see the picks of the first round and remember, Dopa really, really wanted
to play this map.
Yeah, it was their first selection. Obviously, you know that if you're playing a best of
11, you will not get that great advantage out of just having one map at the beginning.
And if you start off 2-0, you can really get the ball rolling, you ban that supposedly
best map of the other team, or you ban your Poemavan, which is also great because that's
the map that you don't want to play, it doesn't matter which opponent.
Gopar, as you mentioned, with a small advantage in the pickbans, but if that goes 0-2 or 1-1,
I think the advantage is small, that's already gone.
Yeah, it's like, you know, you really want to play this map and you started off this way
I think Spirit really underestimated the potential of the plane coming out towards him
And then I mean, I really think that there was a real possibility to win that game if they get a Dica
For sure and maybe they could have even like overpushed
Into into John like the moment the e4 fired
Maybe the 50B could have kind of like pushed through onto like f5 into the like into the area behind the arty strike
Either way, we are ready for the second round and I guess that's one of those things
That we could start calling the Matasito or the Siba special because the griller has been one of his favorite picks
Interesting setup there. I'm not sure if that's the final
loaded in terms of equipment but aside from that a bit of everything IS-7
mouse, CS 430U, FORGE, GRILLA and RHM, DOPA coming in with double T57, 50B, FORGE-B, K91, E4 and the RHM.
Well let's see what the planes get in the beginning, chop up with CS and spots out the mouse and doesn't see anything else.
Yolompi simply doesn't use this plane.
I mean, it's a decision that she makes based on the fact that they're not really contesting the city area from the start, I would assume.
You have the chance of spotting out potentially someone that is facing off against you on the field, so if you're focusing on the field, maybe that's one of the reasons he kept it.
the mouse takes two for now your lumpy gets spotted and at this point like
holding the plane is basically no longer of value because they have the
information that you have a light tank and by now chopper got a new plan anyway
who owns frenchini this time I think it was a two shots from hockey is so far away
No, no, Hockey just got blasted to 1.1KHP, but Yolompe might die in return, but it was a really good plane from Yolompe on the edge there towards Hockey, and Hockey gets blasted towards 1.1KHP, but Yolompe takes more, and the cap is on this whole time, it was a double T57 that we couldn't see actually, that was getting the clips out,
out, paired and blurred on towards Franschini, dropping about 1,000 HP away from him.
The Foschbees there as well.
And now the big swing actually from both teams is coming out towards this 1-3-4 line.
The action will move itself on towards that part of the map.
But keep in mind, we have a 2.5K HP running around in front of this driller with, what
is it, 15mm of turret armor, something like that.
So if I'm allowed to pick, I think I'm pretty happy with this setup that Doha Minha is brought
right now.
PM holds the angle against Kenrae, Kenrae gets the shot, got to be careful if he PMs
because the gorilla is looking.
Kenrae might try to spot the E4 out, there comes the mini-striders, Ferreira actually
ended up dodging it, no, but Gleridas, so not that much time and there comes a shot
towards the E4 either EM taking about a thousand from Sebastian. That's that
mobile gorilla coming out of Fanchini now moving forward once they get to reset
because the Eastern strike will not be taken on time. They'll have to do it. He's
there with the I7, the T57s are now going to start unloading. John is also in the
side or can they get the damage out of the Fanchini already? One bounce coming out
but he seems to be taking quite a bit and there comes the force B, starting to clip
out against Blur and Blur is now the crossfire between these tanks from
Atacito. He's going to try and shield Ferret out. Vova coming back in with his
his own, Fochby clipping out onto the side of this mouse, a strike coming out, a little
bit of a waste I would say at that moment in time, John is completely out of steam in
front, shitty, it's out of HP as he goes down, we look back at this battle where there
is a dead mouse and a dead T57 but John is in so much trouble in this Fochby, he is unlikely
to survive what is coming his way, 900 HP will have the ability back but that doesn't
really matter.
Yeah, we'll have to see if the Griller can maybe get like two more good shots here into
this fight because right now yep there was the missile it would have been
connecting you can maybe hope that PM gets into the range of a strike but
with the force being picked up we have the gun advantage now while we still
have a pretty healthy light tank on the side of dopamine and you mentioned it
your long people quite some substantial punishment for the early action and yeah
I mean that's 400 damage left that's an HCE or a shot of any of the other tanks
aside from hockey you need to be really careful. And don't forget that the cap is on right now.
Kenway has one strike that we saw in the last game that if the cap does get reset and you have
to use your weapons for that you may need to reset again at a later point in time.
Yeah I mean if Hector gets some yes Hector will get the spotting like the stun assist or the
What is it called? Yeah, spotting assist from from the plane. Stun assist in this case would have been
for Kenway, but yeah, he has the small strike now and they have the information where they are.
There is a strike available for the 50v of Dopa, so the lumpy has to exit the strike area,
now it goes back in. The HPs are still pretty much in favor of Dopa mean, another strike is being
deployed, good decap there, 100 damage on top as well, but I kind of feel like the
Griller has been a bit of a problem this round.
Well that has been mostly absent, Magna now pushing in, Hockey is just hiding behind the
corner waiting for Chopper to take the damage, T57 is rolling as well, Magna is going forward,
Chopper will find the shot, Hockey doesn't actually hit his, Hector now coming from behind,
looking to clean up Hockey, that's a foolish PCS though, be careful if you don't want to
throw it all away, good shot from Hector, finds the first, Spared however is looking to clean up the 430U
the gorilla does get one more shot out but that is going to be the last shot of Mike Bann's game
and now Hector in the CS63 might find hockey, will find hockey but nonetheless I mean Vova's chasing
down on Sebastian and that gorilla, he can run but he cannot hide, round number two will be going
Dopamine's way on Pilsen will be going on to the next one with a 1-1 score line.
What is it?
Yeah, I mean pretty good stuff now in the second round Dopamine keeping the control making sure that they are
Always aware of what is happening. There was a moment in time when it looked a bit
Well, I don't want to say
Decided but it looked a bit dangerous for them, but then they managed to kind of like get back the damage onto
I think the force be of John and with that being done. They could kind of like
Mitigate the HP loss that they got onto their double T57
Yeah, I mean, you know John and the force be
P to help and honestly would have been better if they just lost the mouse and
and John does a few shots and then backs away,
which starts running away because now he was so far forward,
so committed to making all of the shells with the flash.
And when you do that,
when you really try to make the clip happen,
sometimes it means you stay too long as well.
If he's able to pop his ability again
and get towards the outside,
bait into the gorilla,
you know that the gorilla could do a lot for that
if they try to chase him down.
No, and I mean, looking at the T57s on the cap,
I would say they were pretty well taken care of, but it's always the other tanks that you also have to keep in mind that are dealing damage in the mean time and PM, even though he took a big hit here or there, was able to do 4.5 and obviously, Vova with the farm in the end onto the Griller, padding his stats a bit, but nevertheless one of the top performers this round.
Himmels next between these two. So far we've seen two different kind of
Pilsen plays. Are you thinking about bringing back the Griller?
I think it was actually not much as he took playing it. It was Stax playing it.
So I don't think they will bring a Griller. No.
But maybe they liked what they saw.
I mean they played two rounds against the Griller, one of those and lost the other one.
I think it's more of a like it's one of those experiences that tells you this
is one small thing that we have to keep in mind like you know it's like a
possibility that someone could do that but it doesn't mean that you are
immediately like jumping off your chair saying like I'll be the next one to do
that I mean if it has a 50% chance of winning you only need to hit the 50%
in which you win. So you flip a coin and see if you play it? Exactly. Think about it. The
bandface has been completed and we can take a quick look at the lineups. Interesting stuff
there from dopamine coming in with the 4 e4s so far and is4 140 and 4 30 u so
they're lucky number a triple 50 b 2 type 5 cs and a 140 for matacito how do you
feel about the medium versus 50 b topic on the hill refer the 50
I think we've seen some overpushes. I think there was a match with four against five or three against five tanks even on the hill, where I recall like Barbarian being on the hill and a Porsche P pushing in and then being welcomed by like multiple guns of the other team.
and it seems like Matasito is sending four tanks so far onto the hill as the
e4s have a bit less HP as the heavier vehicles of
Matasito there's roughly 2k HP difference 50 bees always carrying a bit
more plus spirit looks like he decided to not go
or
the HP maybe he's
assigned to play with optics, is that a possibility?
I mean they have a 430U in front of them, right?
Or the Aussie does not play with HP
I mean on him, old Starf
What is the alternative then?
Do you have a Rammer?
Maybe we should see his equipment, then we would know
No, we can do that.
Maybe he really just picked the wrong setup.
Always a possibility.
Yeah, we'll take the cap in the meantime, in the IS-4.
Ooh, good spot. A lot on towards Jon, actually on that 50B, loses half his HP for overpeaking the hill.
of course, take the communications tower. When he uses that, he will get a level 2 strike.
That is one reset on the way towards the cap serve. It will be the secondary one.
Imagine the spirit actually has bond binos, and he is assigned this position to be able to bully the CS.
You don't sound very convinced.
No, not really.
The martensito is able to take the strike with the e100, obviously that will help a
lot to stop or prevent them from capping.
The initial HP lead is more or less gone, but ferret could be in a bit of trouble if
this combination of kenway, hector and sea bass peaks around the corner and tracks in
there.
too far, too deep, getting clipped out, taking a lot of damage. Does bounce one from Hector, will he bounce the second one though?
Yes, actually bounces that as well, but he's still very very lonely and Sebastian's gonna put in another one.
And you know what, Sebastian might even put in one more.
So it's running away now though, Sebastian takes one, they're from Ferret on the way back out of that.
The mini, the big strike has been used, sorry, on towards the cap that leaves a mini strike for your Lumpy.
taking the communications tower will reveal where the people on the cap are
however it will not help him to reset both of them.
Yeah and I think he shouldn't try to do that either right?
Like if you try to do some fancy like I'm putting it in the middle
it's just risk that you potentially hit neither of them
so now he gives a good decap and buys some time.
Either your lumpy gets a shot here or something where they're losing to the cap.
I mean maybe they could have just like 20 seconds ago when they had the chance sent in the type 5.
The type 5 doesn't make it anymore, that's the problem.
Yeah, that's why I said like 20 seconds ago when they had some pressure in the south,
but with the CS not being able to convert into another strike, I think that's it.
And they had 4,000 HP leaps at this point from the C2 and a lineup that could actually repush,
but they completely neglected the type 5 going 4 line, which is a very standard play, you know,
he takes through the core chart and ends up coming behind that window to reset,
you completely forget about it, it's freebie for Dopa.
Yeah, and I mean the freebie that they don't really want to give in theory, 2-1 for Dopa,
meaning that they kind of like negated the initial disadvantage that they were put into,
and yeah I don't think the damage numbers will show us a lot because this one was
more of a strategical issue I guess or like a whole nation topic.
Oversights, the time should be going inside the courtyard making sure they reset and then
the other time should be closing in because honestly like the E4s are great
right and their HP technically counts more but there was still 3,000 the
the four ability, you know, it works in a way that isn't a theoretical HP pool is higher
because it reduces incoming damage, but when you have these 50Bs, you have the type 5,
you are able to repush this lineup. If you're getting a good point of pressure with the
50Bs, sure, why not?
Yeah, and I mean they understood when to use the strike, you know, they had the big strike
and I feel like they had enough information as well, because the CS was providing them
the inner courtyard information. We have seen the issue where like a type 5 or an E100 is sent
into the middle and then it's kind of being cross-fired from this elevated window position or
from those small streets but I don't think that would have been the problem because the CS was
helping and we saw that Ferret was being pushed back from the 140 and double 50p combination so
yeah I mean this was simply a mistake and maybe that's also one of those things where if this
would have been a team like W or like Mafia or even like Cashback that their
individual player would have just went there by himself. Just to say I think
this is like when you play a shot like this around the hill every player should
know this. No, I mean I would say like a player like Akka who we have seen playing
like the type 5 role or Yusek they would have been there or Pants Fury. I mean
yes it's a real oversight. Honestly it's a very big oversight on the part of
of Matisito and Shini.
I know as a team as a whole, there are seven individuals on that team,
one person usually leading, should be on the FC to say it,
should be on Shini to realize it,
but should be on the other players as well to point out that they have no decaps.
In the end, they win or lose as a team.
It doesn't matter if it's a single player that had to drive forward.
We can take a look at the lineup the buns have not yet gone through there. We are double
for B band
so
Taking a look at what the teams are preparing. I'm not sure if we will stick to that
So let's start on the Mata Ceto side triple fifty B
Jovets type 5 CS and E4
In return though, this dopamine lineup, double bat, a type 5, a 140, double 30 unit E4, double
bat on Himmelsville.
Well, I was so happy to see the bond binos, but I mean, no, he switched it away.
Maybe that's a hill over push with like an anchoring type 5 E4 combination, or obviously
We have seen this aggression behind the EF1 position as well, where you hope that the enemy sends like one medium there and you send on two or three and then you just swarm into them.
Either way, we see a commitment of both teams towards the hill and if this does not get spotted, that is not a situation you want to be in with a double batch hatch.
No, it's not and they're taking over one through line the bath. However, we'll take the inf...
The good thing is that the CS is not countering this
whatsoever. The triple B is leaving the hill with the CS.
I think they just understood that they like made a mistake not having the CS there in time
And now they wouldn't have been there in time either way
So they decided that chests are currently out of the game
So if we maybe can find an angle there on to PM then we can pick up the type before the better
She didn't get to game and that's exactly what they apply. PM is dead in the type 5
I like the adjustment from not to sito down the eight line. They find the type 5 immediately
Because they did not know how many times worse what it on or we're gonna be on the hill
They do take a lot of strike damage in return for that and they still need to progress from this eight line somehow
But they do get the first kill
Yeah, and John was also able to get the strike which will help in the long run to guarantee the decaps
So we have Sebas and John now basically two strikes available one of them a big one as well
So if took I think two shots from Bad Shads on the retreat
but
So far so good for
Machistito
Now with the 50 bees take damage when they're crossing they can't return the fire you will bleed some HPs and
DHP advantage is there, but it's not significant
Well at the hill you can see your line
Oh the double bat is going to peak out against the CSI thing because there was going to be a 50 bee coming from zero line as well
And Sebastian getting pushed on your lumpy is a little bit too far away from this right now Sebastian a little bit too far forward
This is not good for Matasito. They had the right idea. They have the second 50B coming from the zero line
But Yolompe doesn't have the clip potential to kill either of these. They're just gonna chase him down
And then that last 50B coming from zero line
I'm not sure if it's Panchini or Canway. He still cannot win this fight because of the miss
Timing between the teammates. That's actually a good ram to balance from Yolompe
Because it's not anything else he's gonna be able to do in this one. He's dead
this is mis-coordination for Matasito. They had really the right idea to
prone hill attack but there's no reason why the CS is so far forward.
I mean the position that Vova is holding right now that's kind of where I would
have liked to see the CS waiting. So strike comes in which is good, gives
Kenway the chance to two-shot ferret, Ferrat obviously knows that, also knows that the 50B with the ability will have the faster intraclip if needed.
Rupamin now having the gun advantage, plus obviously controlling the strike there as well.
So they will be able to kind of like, yeah, Hummel down on Kenway.
The 50 Bs, literally things that want to hold positions, so let's see how Dopa can make the betchats work.
He is looking for the shot, he finds it against Spirid, but he will take some damage with this in that they fire back and off.
Another good strike coming out, I will say Matsuda has hit some brilliant strikes as well, quite like the initial strike from Dopa.
to think it's for people, but still not a lot of damage with it, keeping on track in terms of HP
with that gun down and isolations occurring across the map, Bacha taking the striker 1-2,
the other Bacha discovering as well. If there's a last-ditch refush here, everybody's ready for
this and this is what I mean, the isolation's job is committed in that strike, but he doesn't have
anybody supporting him. All he has to look forward to is death because it's going to be the only
option for him to get out of this battle out of this predicament one more shot
against blur from John but nonetheless 257 the four ability pretty powerful in
that regard but now the repush coming back out good point of contention
therefore the side of Mattisita they find spirit pretty well but still they've
been behind this whole time and hockey coming in with the footage before finds
a shot against Serif Choppa now looking for the finish and looking for the 3-1
for Dopa, I mean, yes, the first round was not a pretty one, but the next refill, they are ahead by some
minding. Yeah, but I have to say this match, I didn't feel like Dopa, I mean, had the control all
across this division of the battle. We had the really good kill pickup onto the type 5 towards
the beginning, onto PM. And I feel like if there would have been more coordinated, they could have
maybe converted this into a 2-2 score,
because you mentioned it.
It was not really the strategy.
It was more of an implementation problem.
If they catch the batch sets in a situation
where it's not just two batch sets clipping out onto a CS,
then this could have gone either way.
The move itself was the right move,
like the CS and B coming from one side
and the other 50B coming from another.
Like that move by itself, great move.
but it's the way that they executed it, right?
The CS does not need to be that far forward.
He needs to wait for his 50B.
It's double-batch on the ability of the band,
works best if you're picking off somebody,
getting to reload and engage them again, right?
If the two of those are together,
I don't think Ferret and Vova even really get a kill,
to be honest.
It would be really, really hard for them to get a kill
in one of those two tanks
if they're driving up the hill together.
No, I mean, Spirit did two strikes
and Delta more than 1k average damage with each of them.
So once he hit three enemies, once even two.
So good stuff there.
We mentioned the 50B punishment there
when PM was being attacked.
This concludes Himmelsdorf,
which was the first map pick of Martecito.
Next we have Tundra.
And Martecito has looked all right on Tundra.
Obviously we had this small delay of Deft, who took like 30 seconds or something to load into the game.
But we'll have to see.
dopamine is obviously a team that has played all the six qualifiers.
There was no map exclusion possible.
So they had a bunch of rounds as well of tundra under their belts.
Do you think there's still like you know that the chance for like a big surprise or doing something like you're really different or is it more now like mind games of what you can do what the enemy will not expect?
I don't think they could do too many mind games here. Like the problem is that Thundrain itself is a very straightforward map, you know?
You drive in the north and you shoot the enemy?
I mean, if you want to play some control stuff, even like a TD or something, playing in the back you're always giving up the strikes.
And it's really hard to play against double strike usually, if it gets taken just because you have to bunch up at some point.
I mean, definitely one thing we have seen is this usage of the Yotank.
I think it's a very solid ban there for dopamine if they want to play BZs.
because we have seen this hidden run played against Mafia on Tundra yesterday and the
BZs they're just like much worse than the Yotank. The moment the Yotank stacks up the
DPM it's such a powerful tank and yes the BZ reaches the position a bit faster but then
the Haldan positions all over the A-line in the CD area as well. Good one. Dravak coming
out on the state of Montecito, three of them, Davao 430U, a CS and one BZ as well. So no
inspire tank, but the 430U obviously comes with a lot of inbuilt DPM via the road scale.
Yeah, you need the boost and the driver by itself is also a very powerful tank.
If we are taking two immediately in the CS 63, the last one will be taken at strike.
Don't think they can stop them from at the BZs. They're going to peek and look to find
somebody Sebastian is actually going to get reset here by Blur so he doesn't get the strike that's
important to note I mean there was a mini strike from Vova nonetheless so he would have gotten the
reset Blur's now taking the strike and there needs to be a reset on him because if he gets to take
that one it's going to be a big one Sebastian now forced to peek out he does get the reset but now
Dopa being pressuring with all of the bz serve are holding up front but how long can you hold
when all of the bz are shooting you Vova trying to take the strike in the north Blur and Sebastian
trading it out in the meantime as well that's the 140 winning that one out and if Vova gets to
take the strike that's going to be an important one I don't think there's going to be a reset he's
He's actually dodging the strike from Sebastian incoming on the group of Mata Cito tying.
So four of them stuck together.
They might have to push forward as a reaction.
That's a big strike hitting home on all of them.
And Mata Cito do not have the sustained fair with Full HP coming back in to push back forward
to focus on the Olympi.
Does end up missing the shot, but there's just no HP left here for Mata Cito minus
DCS, minus John, who's supposed to do the damage, and the rest of them are getting
strike by Vova.
I think he even got a double kill, one with the strike and one with the shot.
And the hopes for Matisse to start to dwindle in front of our eyes as Dopa, I mean, with five left standing, are going to pick up the first round of turn dry as well.
Yeah, I mean, Ferret went to Europe, found the WT and took it home.
Now, yeah, leading the charge there and making sure that his team gets nearly already onto a match point.
Four of one is a significant lead.
We will have a best of eleven, so six is needed.
But more than halfway there, this looks very good for Dopa, I mean.
No, it looks amazing for Dopa. I mean, this round, Dravitz is a really good tank, but
in a pure alpha trait, where the enemy team has a slightly better position, you could say,
because they're peeking you, so you can't really angle against it.
If you're peeking them, you can kind of play Houdan, but if they're peeking you,
they're almost always going to make sure that they can hit the shot, right?
then the rabbits doesn't really win that fight.
You know, pure alpha trading is not at strength.
No, I mean, it's really like more of a holding vehicle.
I'm not sure how much difference it would have made
if Sebas gets the strike at the very beginning.
You know, he overpeaked a bit
and then got punished by the 140.
Blur obviously dealing like 5K damage
and keeping the inspire on.
You can see the damage from WoWar via the strikes is very significant, three kills as well to his name.
And then the BZs, I mean they did their job right, like if you look at the bottom of the standings, it's three shots dealt by Spirit, four by Hockey.
That's kind of what you need to do as the sponge tanks.
For sure, and the BZ is dying, they're supposed to take the damage, but then look at Blur,
that's pure damage.
16-16-15.
Yeah, so, good start to the 140, and if Ova dodged in the strike, I don't think, taking
the strike and dodging the mini-strike, I don't know if it mattered in this game, right?
But in a slightly closer game, it could have.
Also, one thing that is a bit underestimated maybe, is WoW has 2k stun damage, so this means that he was able to layer the two strikes in a way that the guys from Montecito had to remove the negative effect from the first one, but then still got the second one, so it's basically kind of like a counter-inspire while they already had an inspire.
So the BZ's from Dopa got boosted by the 140 of Blur and then the Javex from Matassito
also had the stun on top of them.
Let's see if we see another Yotank ban or what they have prepared here.
Well, so far I mean Matassito, they need to stop the train now, Phil.
If it's 5-1, you know, and that you would say book-2, which means books closed, you know,
like, we write it off, it's not happening, to be honest.
Number one for Dope, I mean
They are is this the time for the RS
Maybe it's the time for the 30b. It also gets a strike. It's super fast, but triple rabbits. Maybe can anyone 140 and
Four rabbits, maybe can anyone 140 for Dope, I mean matters it will 50 b double rabbits
Maybe a no a x double one can any
All right, all right that playing around with it 50 b double rabbits
maybe can I do one for you and a light they are playing control in some fashion they go for a
straight brawl with this lineup they lose but why do you decide on still bringing the 50b plus
for 30u combination then isn't it better to come with another drawback no because you have the
50b mobility and burst it's good for when you do end up pushing or holding some angle you have some
shots, and unfortunately you like you have a dp angle for this. Interesting, we see that they're
kind of like taking over the south and you mentioned it earlier already like if you give up the north
you play against double strike and this is not just two strikes this is like two strikes every 90
seconds. Yeah that's the problem with it, like you when you're playing from the side that Maticito's
I mean, even from the other side, it's the same kind of equation you're facing, is how
many strikes are you willing to give up before you do something.
Because one strike has been taken, the other one will be taken in the next 20 seconds.
You wait another minute and a half, it's not two strikes, it's four.
It's like 105 seconds, I guess, because there are 15 seconds of capturing it.
still you said it like it needs some time to get back into positions and look
at the crossfires that are already being set up like there is an F1 G1
Dravec which crossfires together with a 140. Severs takes the 100 damage strikes
or it prevents them from taking temporarily the tower there no radio
available for a moment and I think they already set up in the position that
they want to have right they can receive any kind of push and they see the push
early enough so that the rest of the tanks can more or less get back into the
fight let's look at the lanes right hockey maybe you can go from the south
let's look at the lanes so three line is spotted but I don't know if it's spotted
all the way there might be a way to sneak past the piano take a look take a
what they just did. Not sure if you saw it, but the four tanks that's the Drawek, the 140,
the Yoh, and the second Drawek in the north, they were all shooting the buildings on the
2-3 line. So they basically removed extra coverage there to get better spots.
You see on the right side of the screen, all the buildings that are shot.
There's less room to play in, because one of the ways to attack on Tundra are from back in the
and they have to go to the two lanes, you know, you go in between the bellings, of course it's a bit different,
but that's two strikes used now by Dolpanin, on towards Jolampi, he's 1.8, if this happens again, Jolampi is 1k, you know,
in the meantime, Hockey doesn't have a bit strike yet, but you see how the problems are mounting,
the 140 is actually probably the one spotting the crossing together with PM, so they will have all the info on what's happening right now.
Well, I mean, you could argue the only advantage for now is that they haven't really let a
lot of HP.
Like, Matassita still has their full pushing force aside from like the 430U.
Obviously, that's not really a tank you want to lose HP on, but it's not substantial so
far.
But, yeah, it's not looking too great.
I mean Dope I mean lost HPs but it's like a shot of damage here or there on individual tanks
Not very problematic Hector being moved forward now. It's not a big surprise. Very good hull down tank and
Very good positions to play hull down as well
Blur gets spotted in his 140 making kind of like a spotting check. Good punishment now coming in
It's a surprise that the RHM was able to
throw one there
around the corner maybe that's like that the South American thing where you like shoot and then even
though he's around the corner you still get the damage shooting as well does pm put shot there
into hector okay loses a shot of damage as well so MataSito kind of recovered the HPs but either
way it will be very expensive on the south because they're still giving up the strikes
this time it was hiked to take the strike from hockey and it just you know keep siding up right
over time when hockey got reset now by i think hockey is uh hockey is the one using his strike on
two yeah but there was a mini strike they got used in hockey yeah but i mean in the end that just
use them like 15 to 20 seconds depending on if he's able to get out of the strike in time.
Hockey takes the next strike, which leaves pretty much even again.
We see that there has been some movement. The 50B moved closer, Kenway there more or less behind Hector now.
What is the plan?
Jopa is not really covering this well. Kenway sliding down takes a shot. That should spark a reaction though
I think Kenway kind of spoiled it a little bit here, you know like that
I mean we see immediately Ferret moving and Hockey as well kind of like two extra tanks there supporting the one line
But this is a problem though Phil. I mean let's see but I've had taken the strike in the North John Kenway serve
They're trying to avoid match point here
But here to come around the corner spirit is a little bit too far forward
He's going to take a lot of damage normally for this, rolling backwards for Pseability, that's the first strike, the second strike coming in as well, the third strike comes in.
I don't even want to count how much damage that is. The peak from Spirit, not the greatest one. Overpeaking takes a lot of damage yet again, but don't, I mean, there's so much with the strikes, they come back rolling in, you can see them trickle down one line with Ferret and company coming back in.
you can see in Matasito, the HP is just not there anymore, the strikes take away the majority of the HP,
the triple strike probably doing about 3k or more damage is enough to clean this up and it's the alley of debt for Matasito.
And match point will be reached for Dopa, I mean 5 to 1 after Tundra.
Yeah, I mean they just rolled over them, that was a very one-sided affair and I have to say, like, if you want to come out with this kind of a surprise push,
Just do it at the very beginning. You take like two strikes in your face instead of four
Not everyone is set up. You mentioned it and piloted very correctly. I can lay maybe gave away
This push yeah, and he peaked and slid down
But even without that I felt like the distance to cover wasn't that much and sure
This case you keep spirit alive even though he's like on 48
I think this deludes to the fact that it's such a narrow alley to push through.
There's no room to dodge the strike. You're not dodging.
I should have watched 300 and then saw how they did it.
Yeah, but in this case they were the Persians.
And they would have to find a way around through the mountains.
Yeah, I think you can waste the world the surprise a little bit.
But nonetheless, you have the problem that the strikes to, I would say 4k, strike damage for Dopa maybe more in total, 4 to 5k.
And if you're playing for Madisonous side with the light against that, I mean, you know, oh yeah, yeah, it's for 6k.
Yeah, I mean, okay, I was off by 1000. It's even worse, you know.
I mean, it's 6k versus 200.
Yeah, I mean, if you look at dopamine's total damage,
you subtract the 6K from the 22K, right?
It's just such a large percentage comes out
of these neutral objectives,
because Mata Sita takes so long to make the move.
And then they have less HP to start with
because of the lineup that they pick, right?
With the light tank that doesn't fight,
or doesn't want to fight, that it's really, really hard.
You have to do 6,000 extra damage
to compensate for the strike damage.
That is, I don't see any team who almost do it, to be honest.
No, and then, I mean, also like the way how they drive in,
it's like, Kenway gets spotted, shoots once,
like doesn't pin the shot onto Spirit, takes one and return,
and then they push with a 50B that has three shots in the clip,
does basically those three shots,
and then just dies in the middle of like strikes
and enemy hull down tanks.
I think we saw like 63% or something like that,
penetrate on the side of Toma.
So that's also like 20% extra
that like the stationary tanks of dopamine have.
And we saw like a lot of shots that went at the beginning
into the buildings, which were basically reducing
the heat rate, but in the end, it didn't really matter
because the shots that were placed onto enemy tanks
just had so much higher penetration rate on top of the whole strike topic I mean
we're looking to have the right team so just again underestimating just how
one side of the square that would be yeah I mean when you reminded me on
copying the homework I was telling you I considered six one I would just hope
that they finish it now and you know like and end the suffering I mean Matt
to see two nonetheless right even if they end up losing it they got second in
their first tournament together there is more tournaments coming up in the next
few months right so for sure for sure you know it is probably going to be this
heartening for them to lose if they end up losing but I think they also have to
look at the upside right they came in they were the second best team on an A if
they end up losing I mean they could do the big remontada on this room where
the e4, the 50b is banned, so they're about T57, T5, and the K91 facing off against the
60b, T57 double, and T5 as well, so both teams, having the same amount of T57s and types as
just K91 versus 60b, so very interesting, they're both rocking roughly the same.
Yeah, and I kind of like to see where the K91 is being sent because usually we see one
tank being sent into the strike if you play the lower side, but the 60GP is kind of too
slow for that. So the Kennedy one could take some crossfire position at Keyhen's favorite
STIV spot like E0 and then maybe he's low profile enough to take the big arty strike
or to kind of like outspot enemies from the f-line there in the bushes and the initial distribution
I think is somewhat final at this point already we see okay moving in the aforementioned f-line
bushes and t57 of john having the position that on the european server we often see a force b play
obviously push B with a bigger clip but the T57 are able to maybe put in a second one
if he's only getting pushed by two tanks. Aside from that I guess nice for them
that they managed to put Sebas into the strike position. He dodges the small
strike and will get the bigger one in a moment. A bit of trading happening between
between the T57s and the type.
We can't damage them to serve,
but PM takes similar in return.
Any team that you favor so far?
Purely off the traits,
whoop I slightly ahead now.
Yeah, maybe after this extra shot of Ferret
that went into serve.
I think right now both of the teams will be content to kind of like stay in the setup
that they're in right now. The question is will there be a good target for the
strikes to make a difference because obviously there isn't much chance of
just easily rotating tanks in and out the strike. Another good shot there by
Farid from what I saw putting the herd into the T-57. Yulampi is now holding the
angle so gets the 400 damage back in return the Zeppelin watching the action
and making sure nothing is being missed out on PM bouncing I think on the upper
plate like the roof plate of the type there and a lot of things are happening
um yeah you were mentioning earlier that it's a good performance overall and
this tournament for Matacito. I think it's a bit frustrating if the final, which is usually
the last thing that happens and the thing that you remember most, is like a very one-sided
affair, but I have to agree. Overall, second in the regular season and then second overall
would be a pretty good result.
Put the first tournament together for sure. And OSA qualifiers for an A, at least automatically
qualify?
Yeah, both are automatically qualified.
I'm starting soon anyways than I was saying in general starting kind of soon, right?
Yeah, I mean
Yeah, I mean the qualifiers are in like three weeks than the tournament itself is after tank fest
Are you going to tank fest this year?
Enjoy it
You're gonna shows are pretty cool
Well, let's hope we'll get a cool show here as well.
I mean, the trades so far, we went from 24.5 down to pretty much even 22.7, 22.9.
Vova now, things to have found a good target, puts in a good shot, another shot following
immediately.
One advantage.
57 of the Olympia is losing.
is losing. One of the battles I would say that Mata Sito is building right now and you
may not think of it too much as an advantage but I believe it is that they are building
up strikes. Do you mean the other team used their strikes already? Yes, Magnum is really
out trading both fair and PM though. I heard that he is like a pop god, like a North American
random battle gamer so like one-for-one traits is maybe like his thing yeah but
that's the one thing I'd say you know they're building up strikes they're
gonna have three in the hands while dopamine it has one and if hockey wants
to collect one more later he'll have they'll have nothing but that you know
like one but at any given time they have one well yeah that's what I meant with
by rotating or being able to rotate it.
So they have a 1,200 strike damage now,
waiting to be dropped.
So man, there is targets for this, PM, Kowa, any of the 57s
really, but the lower the 57, the better, right?
There are all targets for this potential last minute push.
I think John is moving in for that as well.
We can see the T57 from the K-Line now,
moving more towards the city area. How do you like estimate the impact of a T57
versus a 4-speed and like a late-game brawl scenario?
57 is kind of better than a 4-speed because it doesn't have... 57 is a flexibility, it has a thrill.
So if you get pushed or you need to refush in the last minute, having a third is a big advantage.
I mean, the Fosch B is a great tool and if you can make good use of your ability and disengage again, but then the off time of the tank is obviously quite significant as well.
So, what are you suggesting Dopa mean to do now?
They have put themselves in a position where they can't really do anything anymore.
I mean, Wova gets the shot into Seabass immediately.
What about revealing where he is? Is that revealing? Because he's one of the targets that they might want to push on.
Yeah, but we've seen losses of HP here and there, not really one specific tank.
So, I have to see if they can isolate one tank to get the gun advantage.
Do you think Sebas can cross there?
I mean, it looks like the T57s are not paying attention and Ferret would be call of God, at least for a moment.
It's going to be a trade and he narrowly wins it.
The Shrike coming out on PM, that's one of them.
Not a bad choice to be honest.
Yeah, and I think Siemens will kind of have the advantage of the higher ground now.
I mean, he has a bit of rubble to protect himself from shots coming around the corner.
Ferret gave it a try, was not able to.
But he's still pretty much exactly the same amount of HP left compared to Dokka.
I mean, now losing those, just as I was talking about it, as the T57s are peeking out,
Spirit crossing into enemy territory, like small surround move for Topa taking a shot from Magna.
I don't know who's going to win when the strikes get dropped, you know?
Topa is rolling in now and I think the real danger moves. Spirit spots are served.
Topa taking some more damage. He has to be careful. Topa is actually moving back in.
Choppa taking a lot of damage here, Sebastian looks to be in a bad spot now though, because look at the position behind him.
Yeah, the 57 coming from behind, that's Vova, Blur coming in as well. They're going to find the 60TP.
That last minute kill, well slightly more than a minute, looking very likely here for the side of Dopa.
I mean Blur is now getting repushed, Dopa, the 57 is getting peeked out.
No more strikes for the side of Manta C. So they're trying to do the damage.
Choppa is dead though, Franchini finds the kill on towards him.
Sebastian will die in return and the HP is ever so close between these two ferns
get Sebastian but not before taking another big shot and I'm not too sure
who is winning right now Phil I could not guess I do not know yeah and taking a
look at the lower HP tanks obviously below there with only 700 left 45
seconds that could be a Hyrule of type 5 a good damage now into the double type
Type 5 offers serve and Magnan, Spirit is fully reloaded and I think he has the sight of serve now.
He does, but Fobar does go down in return so the kills get traded. Magnan however is going to fall as well in this type 5 that's Hockey and Spirit combining
and now Ferret is going to get pressured by the 57, they have 20 seconds to come from behind Kenway and Jon making the flank happen.
And those T57s, do they expect that Blur is going to drop towards the one shot? The Franchini can get the shot but he might just have to shoot Ferret.
John only has one bullet left. He's getting pushed by Canva. He wants to go forward. Blur is going to fall
Can they actually get third?
Three seconds left. No, Canva goes down and no more kills and it's going to be dopamine to be the
OLF
champions in a nail bite or in the last minute where either team could have won it but it ends up being dopamine
Yeah, I'm not sure what happened there that the T57 of John arrived with only one shot
If he would have put in those three other shots, there was another kill to be picked up for him.
In the end, I would say not really something that you can say like it was deserved or not deserved.
This round was a lot of back and forth, great trading there by Faraday.
You can see him dealing 6.8k damage and I mean a bunch of bounce damage on either side.
It's hockey dealing like nearly 3k with the strikes and I have to say
Very disappointing strike damage on the set of Matasito, right?
Mean they had like what five strikes in total and they did
Four strikes worth of damage. Yeah
So something when I think they all put them on chopper
You make the kill, you know
That is the most likely option. Chopper took a lot of damage driving on middle road, right?
And I think they all used the strike to kill him, which I would say is a mistake
because there was two minutes left, you know?
You want to maximize strike damage still at that point and not that much to kill.
But I'm pretty sure they put him on Chopper because he was the first one down.
And that would make sense because he was a solo target.
Which at the end of the day, it's a good move from Chopper to take all of the damage, you know?
No, I mean in the end the trading just went in favor of Dopa as well, I guess the T57s
were able to make the clips when the ones from Montecito were a bit out of game.
This move from Sebastian may be turning out a bit over eager considering that the T57s
of I think Vova and who was helping there as well, Spirit.
No, Spirit was in the south, so Blur, I guess.
Blur was with Ferret, yes.
Yeah, so they kind of like punished the overpush of the 60TP who went out with like two shots
of damage.
Yeah, Vova, Ferret and Blur got the 60TP who was in a good spot, nobody was watching him
getting pushed from behind.
No, but with that being said, I think it was in the end a very fair final score, maybe
a bit harsh on Montecito, but Dopa Mean the well-deserved first place and winner of this
season's OLF.
And is it already the third time that they are winning it?
No, I think it's a second, I'm going to check, okay?
I'm on the computer right now.
Oh I left, no they won, no no no, it's the third one actually, you're right.
They won season 4, season 5 and season 6.
That's what I thought, yeah.
So congrats to the guys getting the badges as well.
Season 2 they lost against Typed.
And season 1.
was probably when you were still there.
No, no, no, no.
Last time I played with them, we won.
Relax Phil, relax.
I remember, OLC3, Studs Yankee, you and Hockey.
I was afraid in Hockey clutching it out, actually.
Yeah, with that being said, we are gonna head
into our last match of today.
The finals, the grand finals of OLS season six.
What is your prediction, Dachie?
Going into that.
I've been on the Mafia wagon since the end of the season, if you haven't noticed, so I'm going to stick with that one.
The one time I predicted them not to win, actually, in the last times, they ended up winning, so I'm sticking with Mafia.
Okay, well, I predicted 4W, but I guess we'll have to wait for a short summary with highlights from the NA match,
and then we'll see what the EU guys have prepared for us, because I mean,
I definitely hope that we will see more than just seven rounds of Grand Finals.
Anything is possible, but before that, let's take it away with a little bit of replays.
to kill him.
Pretty fast.
He can't drive.
He is dead.
They are doing damage to the mutt-stopper.
This frame on W, trying to push forward.
He's a one-shot Iver to the top four kill.
It's already doing it.
Pretty fast.
It could be outnumbered.
It will be crushed under the heel of W.
This is the world's most advanced processors.
In entertainment, it's rendering speeds render other processors obsolete, powers cloud services
for billions, helps change the course of climate change, and uses AI to accelerate disease
detection and flaws.
We make the world's most advanced processors, but only with your vision can we advance the
world. AMD, together we advance.
Well hello there and a welcome back to the last and the final match not only of today
but also of the AMD onslaught legend series season 6 and by now I guess as well this
match you could call it a classic darky. It is the pan-European team of W against the
the Polish powerhouse called Mafia.
First time around today, Mafia not ending up winning this one.
Second time around, we will believe still in Mafia,
in my case, what about you?
In my case, actually, no.
I was pretty impressed by W getting such a clear scoreline,
although it was 5-1, but the score doesn't really
reflect, to be honest, the way that the match went.
I think a lot of those rounds were a lot closer than a 5-1 would suggest at the end of the day.
As we see the team lineup of W, they have made it through the upper bracket,
and so far they've kept the record of overall OLS seasons of not losing any match in playoffs.
Indeed. Can they keep it up? That's a question. Some things can sometimes get broken at some point,
That could be the case for them tonight, or they could keep it at 100% and be the most
successful team in OLS history one season longer and their team would need a few seasons
to catch up anyways.
Yeah, exactly.
It would be their fourth title.
Meanwhile, Mafia, not any experienced when it comes to OLS titles either.
They've got one under their belt as well.
So they're looking for the second tier.
Meanwhile, of course, W with the 3, they want to extend the lead.
Yeah, they want to make it 4. We have a badge of 5, right?
No?
No, there is 1 at 3 and 1 at 7.
What about 6?
No, none at 6.
None at 6, only at 7.
1 at 7, right.
Exactly.
Well, anyway though, between both of those teams, they had quite the bruthier since they last met.
breather longer for W than it was for Mafia. Community prediction coming in with a 6-7%
for W as well. So the viewers should be enjoying quite a few memes. 33% for Mafia, that's roughly
a third. So not a lot of Poland believers right now. I mean, it's kind of the same as the last one
though that they played. It was 55-45. So 10% more of the Mafia fans has switched sites. Maybe
some italian roots there for them but let's see if it ends up being true you know
well the truth is going to lie on the battlefield as it does so often and to be honest the signs
so far for w are not the worst going through the upper bracket of course is going to net them the
advantage of getting first pick and ban in the pick ban bracket which we'll come to later but
I think it is an advantage that on paper it sounds pretty good, but a lot of times in the past we've actually seen teams fumble the map that they basically worked for to get in W.
They're going with a map that we've already seen in the upper bracket finals. It's once again going to be Cliff, but Mafia are probably hoping for a different outcome.
And then the first ban ends for W. So Mafia are probably wanting to play that one. They're not getting to play it.
And it's W ban against Mafia, first time around as well.
So Cliff, they really, really want to play, we'll see how that plays out.
You know, like I talked about it in the previous match already.
This first pick is both a blessing and a curse, depending on how it goes.
Yes, especially with, well, they're not in the competition anymore,
but Hit kind of had a almost notorious history of, you know, fumbling their map
and then getting back to the opponent on their map.
But first of all, let's go through the maps.
Tundra and Timelstorff, then being picked by Mafia and Ruhenberg being banned out, I guess they don't want to see any kind of Septuple 50B once again there.
They've been on the receiving end of that from W.
Then Ghost Town, interesting pick in my opinion from W, coming through.
Pilsen by Mafia, not surprised at all.
Westfield getting banned out, did we see it at all today yet? I don't think so, right?
And the last map that could be played between both of those teams, Sand River, we saw Mafia
fumbling a little bit in the upper bracket finals.
Yeah, that was, I mean, Sand River, that could have been either way though.
That was really, really close between the two.
W ended up edging ahead. It's weird that they ended up picking Cliffs.
I don't think they were that far ahead on it, to be honest.
Maybe I'm wrong, but like the match they played against Mafia, I feel like it was kind of even
even Stevens, a few mistakes here or there swung it the other way, but I wouldn't feel
like they were like that massively favored on it.
No, it really feels like there were some individual mistakes from either side, like Clif, between
W and Mafia.
It was not clean by any means.
So yeah, maybe W identified some mistakes that they made and they just don't want to
repeat them or they saw some mistakes how Mafia actually played it.
I'm really curious to see this cliff. Like I said, I don't think that W was that much ahead.
It's also like a good one to get out of the way in the beginning though.
It's a very quick map, two rounds in the bin, you play best of nine after.
Predictions, oh Ian, going with Mafia as well, we're split down the middle.
And you know what they say Kian, you're only as good as your last prediction.
Well, I tend to agree with that, because it doesn't offer the possibility for me to make up for a whole tragic, disastrous, horrible season of predictions for me.
I think all of those words would be a correct description.
Well, what can you do? It is what it is.
First round on Cliff about to be underway in the OLS Grand Finals now
Like I said, I really curious to see how this plays out
Will W get
the two rounds
Well mafia sure I'm strong like I really think that mafia has a good solid chance here on Cliff, you know
You know how I don't like to understand hypotheticals too much
But it's like the thing is we've seen it a few times before where the team picking the first map
ends up losing it to a zero and it don't really recover to the match usually.
Well, we're going to find out soon because the band phase I think is just about underway so we
are about to hop into the grand finals of that AMD Aulus season six and truth is going to be revealed.
Mafia don't want to see a BZ75W not wanting to see a CS 63 maybe mentors a little bit you know
flipped last time around, doesn't want to do anything with that, but Mafia are going to start
extremely aggressively. Triple 50B, double batcher, 140 and an RHM.
But look at W, you're bringing out the TVP again. Have you even seen it in OLS on a U at all?
This whole... I think it was played twice if memory serves correctly and I think it won
not a single game. Well, you can save the win ratio then. TVP, RHM, 440Us and a batcher.
So it's going to be autoloaders against DPM as both teams bring the light tank and everyone on W is spotted for Mafia.
The double backchat has not been revealed, but of course no info is also in for W probably assume that they have more tanks in middle,
but do they want to engage against those 50Vs is the question.
Yeah, but you don't know it's double bottom on 2Languo. I feel like that is actually a very decent first sight of Mafia that it is.
It ends up being a double bat and Ios with the TvP just not fast enough to counter Koro,
which is what he wanted to do, and W is going to drive straight through and towards Profus,
and Ios is blocking that 140 from escaping, brilliant move there, and the TvP not fast enough for the IHM,
but fast enough to block, and Profus is already getting pushed on another batch, I seem to comment to the five from Mafia,
the first one down is Piotr, though he was left lingering in between those rocks, he wasn't able to escape,
while the rest of his team made that move towards Profus, he ended up getting focused out, actually,
Barq is now pulling back in the 50B. He's on reload. So is Rekstar. So is Orchek.
Clarif is actually dead. He lost the 1v1 against Kono. Kono on 2 HP ending up winning that one.
We did not see that, but it's very important to keep in mind that Orchek might get one more clipout.
So can Rekstar. Low HP, but that does not matter in a 50B. The ability activated starts clipping out,
peeking out. In other words, looking now. Barq is will not be able to do it, but the other 50Bs are,
they're both going down in return though. Now Irel's falling. Conrad getting repushed and W.
bring this game back potentially come out with the double now rex are is on a
one-shot and Kono has one more shell he has to make this one it's not a great
target to do it on use egg finding the killer now it's to be two mentors and
Nepal versus use egg in Kono use egg is reloading and this is why he cannot
punish mentors who's coming up in the batch at Kono of course knows this and
the RHM he needs two HE shells to actually be able to have a chance here
he's whiffs the first one so mentors with that clip reload is now chasing after
After the Rheinmetall, he doesn't want to drive into the bachette of Jusek, but they do get the shots.
And all of a sudden Jusek is in this 1 vs 2 situation.
Mentos, however, he is a 1-shot. He's capturing the Info Tower, but what is Nepal doing is the question.
He went around, ringing around Therose with the Donut, but now he does spot out Jusek,
who is trying to make it up and is trying to make it a 1 vs 1, but good shot coming through from Mentos.
And now this 1v2, the positions are simply not there.
He whiffs the shot against Mentos, even.
And this probably seals the deal as the 432 is just gonna come close and DPM that Batja down.
And Mentos even makes a cheeky little peek yet again to spot out in Batja 35T.
He's like, you can see no ability 3 shells in the chamber.
He needs 6 for Nepal.
So, you know, Nepal is coming from the right angle.
It's gonna be W on the first round, off-cliff.
in the chaos yet, still they come out ahead.
Yeah, Yuzek even whipping two out of his three remaining shells and now he's going
to get chased down by a funny button 430U that is probably very happy with the outcome
of this first game, Nepal, to shut it down and W to lock in the first round in the grand
fight.
I don't know if I agree with the final play of Kono, you know, on that hill.
I know it's risky, but you'd almost like to see him try to get off the hill in the round,
the hill while Yuzek disengages from the fort to the Uedo, giving them a real opportunity
in that one. They can defy against Mentos, he cannot win it.
No, I think also a little bit unfortunate for Yuzek at the end there to actually miss
the shot against the Bat-Shot. I think that Mentos was trying to play a little bit too
aggressive there but then the shell just going wide at the Bat-Shot, being able to escape
to re-sport him that kind of sealed the deal as well. But I think overall the problem really
was for Mafia that the 140 probably got focused out because remember that's going to be a continuous
flow of DPM that actually comes into the opposing tanks and provides the inspire but
with the 140 dropping so early from Prefus, he wasn't able to really propel those auto-loaders
into realms where their DPM then actually can come into play and you do see like Yuzek on top here
but I feel like the problems are down there where you know Prefus is situated. Park is, I mean one
of those autoloaders is going to get focused out, cannot really blame him but yeah and to be honest
shout out to Kono who actually won the 1v1 on the hill that kept Mafia in the game. Yeah I mean
you know these autoloaders get a big boost from that one of 40 if he sees the live a little bit
longer just to boost him towards that second clip, you know. Inspire is massive
for that. He doesn't get to do that sort of sustain and the DPM from W's ends up
superior in that regard. They picked Cliff, they pick up the first round. And they
want to double down on this. This is the map that essentially they have worked
for in the upper bracket finals. This is the advantage that they gained by really
beating Mafia into submission in that first match. But of course Mafia with a
a little bit of a confidence boost. I think they had a, let's say, very comfortable match
against Weekend, where the vast majority of rounds actually was hugely in their favor.
Phase 1 score, W able to best Mafia 3-0. Mafia not really seeing the light of day there,
but since then we've obviously played quite a few matches.
Indeed. Well, that was an interesting round. Both teams going for a different philosophy
in that one let's see what the second cliff ends up bringing though between these two and you
know it's good for W to get the ball rolling because they've been on a longer break right
yeah W were able to comfortably watch mafia regaining confidence and then the NA match on top so for
them quite the downtime as we go into match number two or around number two mafia banning out the BZ
W with the 50B band and Mafia completely switching it up. It's gonna be quadruple CS 63, K91 and an Object 140, but wait, that's not all, there's more. Orzhek bringing out the 4005.
W and return CS 140 for to the use and an IHM. Let's see if the the Baja of
Orchard can actually end up hitting man. It is something the boogie man in that FV
It does he get spotted in the beginning as well pops the ability to get into position early. He's not spotting
so they don't know oh
You could also see
The tanks of W shooting towards another area of the map. They were trying to probably hit some fences if there is a
a plain light tank from Mafia, he would see that there, but let's see the double CS by Mafia getting pushed up
and here we can see Orzhek waiting and wishing, is it gonna connect, is the question man, who takes it up so far, but not further, minus 2k, it does connect
Minus 1700 from the FV alone, Orzhek also so very close to level 3 ability because of that, Mantis now in real trouble on top of the health cone
And Rex are now covering Kono and Yuzek are pushing around but they're going a little bit too far
That's Piotr and Ios waiting there
This is not the move that Mafia wants more tanks taken the hill in the meantime
Mentals will fall and I don't know if the Babaha ends up hitting another shot or not
Yuzek now running as far away as possible. Where does he stop? Where does he go? The strike coming in?
That's a lot of damage on towards the hill. Piotr and Ios will now repush Yuzek
But the hill needs to be won if Mafia wants to have a chance because even with DFV hitting the shot
It is not just enough and Yuzhak actually says the one could focus fire from Yuzhak completely ignoring Piotr and Ios
You see him sneak in the shot between the two
He's just shooting the hill trying to focus out the tanks that matter most and honestly Ios and Piotr could have avoided
Some of that but Conrad goes down more tanks arriving on the hill. Barcas is about there as well
But 430U full HP on the hill, Perfus is coming, Orchek is coming as well, but it's still looking like a
W kind of game
Indeed, because the tanks on the hill by W currently looking pretty comfortable, but there's Nepal actually fluffs the shot
That is a problem. Another strike goes down for Bakke's onto Nepal minus 250
Yes, clerk is able to put in one from the side, but still the problem remains for W
Do they have the firepower actually on the hill?
They might just about get that with the 430 you've got arriving
But if that shell here connects and he shoots he scores, but only uh
Only a splash he doesn't kill him. That's not a penetration
but Lukin gets cleaned up all of a sudden, 3 vs 2 on the hill, with Pyotr coming from the backlines.
This is not decided yet, but if they're able to take Nipal out of the game, that is very good
for the side of Mafia that are up in HP at this point in time.
Varkis ends up missing though, and now you can see the V trying to get Klurv out of the game,
but Klurv is behind that position there, and he could have maybe 20 for the snap on Pyotr.
He didn't end up doing that, and Orc will heal most of our back, he's trying to control Klurv,
but Klurv I think can just bypass this in that archer, and he has the Camo for it.
In the meantime his teammate is converging on Pyotr, on towards the hill.
Rekstar is going to die for this and Barkis is going to get pushed probably by Chlorph and Baturian as well.
Prufus will win the 1v1 or should win the 1v1 against Pyotr and Barkis.
Nafi is not off against Chlorph, will do a lot more damage for this as well.
The strike will finish off Pyotr, Barkis not dead just yet.
Finally, Prufus comes in but Ios is taking the hill and he is unspotted.
But if he gets the spot right now onto the back of this 140, the FV might come in with a clutch moment.
He sees Ios get it, and it's gonna be the 1v1 at the end of times, the FV versus the 140,
and that is not an Orchek favourite situation.
Profus trying to slide down, because I know he makes it, actually, on the way down,
and Orchek's about to be reloaded. Ios is chasing.
Can the FV get a shot? Orchek looking.
He doesn't get a shot. Ios will make it down as well, and it will be 1v1,
but Profus has done a tremendous job, because now Orchek can load AP.
Absolutely, and Orzhek is also taking an artillery strike, which further increases the chances, even with a Hesh shell.
I mean, that would be a roll of the dice, but we'll have to see.
First of all, Ios is going to go into the artillery strike as well.
He needs to limit kind of the amount of time that Orzhek will be able to shoot at him.
Now, Orzhek is coming close. Does he decide to completely go for it?
And the answer seems to be yes.
He's trying to close the distance. He is going to look for that golden shell that eluded him earlier on towards Ios and
Now in this 1v1 of all time
I mean if this doesn't go down to with the wire and not both of them or either of them dies
Oh wires with a spot there on towards Orzhek does he find a shell is the question
He needs to lower the HP of Orzhek while that one isn't too close to go for an all-in quite yet
artillery strike connects on to Orzhek. So Orzhek doesn't actually know where Ios is, but if he continues on then Ios could be caught with his pants down.
Ios is making a good move here across the south side of the map, wants to surprise the enemy. By taking an angle he does not expect.
Orzhek probably seems aware that there was the 140 behind him, but he's driving through the cap right now.
cap right now, the timing is going to be a disaster for Ios actually, we're taking that
south side, Orchek does get spotted out, Ios might have HE loaded, he does and Orchek
now realizes where the 140 is, takes another shot, he is too shottable for HE now, or one
shot HE and one shot regular ammo, we'll find it as well.
Well, Orchek he has essentially one more, or maybe one and a half more chances, but
The problem is that H.E. Shell not only didn't reduce his HP, it also means that if Ios actually gets another strike, then it's only a one-shot that is remaining, and that essentially makes them, if they both have a strike at that point in time, a strike plus one-shotable.
Um, so Orzhek, I think with a smart play now, he tries to sort of reduce the amount of angles that Ios could be coming from.
And now if Ios were to go for the artillery strike actually in the EF3 position, then Orzhek could strike and immediately regain a strike too.
The problem is I think W is winning on damage dealt.
Um, I mean, looking at the tanks...
It doesn't matter, the FV healed.
The FV healed and Clerf is a light.
Yeah, it's not.
The 430U and the CS63 without the onslaught modifiers, I think both of them have 2k, no?
I'm looking for it to be slightly more healthy.
At least the used, I mean, I realize, you know, uncle is telling stories about the war,
but I think the 430U at least at some point in time it had 2k.
But yeah, of course the 430U more likely to take a hardening than this year, I mean both tanks are likely to take a hardening, let's be real here.
430U is 2050 base HP, CS63 has 2000, I don't know exactly what the field mods do for both of those.
It's up to 2.1 for the 430U with field mods, while the CS days are 2k, so...
I mean IOS like without modifiers and 140 I think starts with 1900 and the
4005 starts with 1800. The ported US have 100 mHP. Okay. Yeah they have 100 mHP. I knew I was right.
I knew I shouldn't trust you. Well let's see. I think both of those players are
very willing to let the time tick down as both of the teams probably furiously
calculating the damage that they have done. The only thing that Mafia cannot
be sure about, because there is no in-game exact tracking for it, is how much Orzhek
has actually healed. But given the fact that Ios is not making a move, I mean, the W players
are able to exactly calculate the damage taken. That's for sure. So normally, W should...
And the damage dealt.
And the damage dealt, yes. So they have the exact information for everything. And there's
probably quite a few calculators open on the side right now.
I don't know if you could hear it, but you know.
I heard the keyboard, yeah, furious typing ensued.
And that's on the bench player to calculate, you know.
Oh man, between juggling all the bottles,
you put that on Jakafa as well now.
It's gonna be useful for something, no?
Top one DPG, this all is, mind you.
But yeah, we're going to take a look
at the beautiful scenery here.
Maybe Orchek didn't heal that much though.
Okay, so again, let's go for it one to one.
The Archer has less HP than the 140,
but the 430U has more than the K9E1,
the 430U has more than the CS,
the 430U has more than the other CS,
more than the other CS,
and Orchek, the FV itself,
how much HP does that have?
That's a good question.
How much does it start off with base?
1800, right?
base plus onslaught modifier plus 650 flat but we don't know how many
hardening were on the mediums respectively.
Oh man, you could assume every single one has it.
Actually the Durant just started back on stream so everybody was rocking HP except for the light and the FV wasn't rocking a hardening either.
So, what were these starting HP files?
I'm waiting for that, buddy.
I'm waiting.
You know, I'm multi-monitoring right now.
So the starting HP for W was 21,050,
and the starting HP for Mafia was 20,310.
So that means Mafia is 20.
That means W that 19,900 and, wait, sorry, no, more.
That means W that's minus 741.
19,569 without the HP of the FV and Mafia dates, uh, it's very close.
Well, we knew that before.
It's like, Mafia did 19,900, roughly, I think, if the quick maths serves right, which means that if the FV healed more than a few hundred.
Well, the good thing is, if we get to the battle results screen, we will be able to see how much damage was actually dealt.
I think W wins it, but I'm not sure.
All right, let's see um
Congratulation wait what
60 damage
Please go check
1900 damage though. I will go check for you how much the fv healed
He healed exactly
370 points
That's crazy
Absolutely crazy
Well, it was very close
I mean, we were selecting it from the start, but yeah, that is actually crazy, wow.
By the way, the good thing is that I helped write the rules, so I would have even known
the rule to deduct who wins in case the damage is equal.
It is the first kill, but at this point in time I would be at a loss who was the first
one to die.
Because Mafia getting the first kill, one of the CSs driving around, I think he died before Mentos, I'm pretty sure.
I think you might be correct with that one. Even for this condition, which would be super rare, we would have a fallback.
Yes, indeed. You may know after the first kill, that's it, assuming either team deals damage.
But there is a scenario in which both teams have the exact same amount of damage and the
kill happens at the exact same second.
Yeah, exactly.
If no one does anything.
Look, it's possible, Kian.
You need to be prepared.
I think at that point we actually have coin flip officially in the tiebreaker rules.
Because let me tell you, Kian, back in a long-distance pass we had no draw rules for WGL, right?
And for gold, he's in.
And my team was playing with an M44, and the enemy team was playing with an RU251, right?
the T-Rate long-distance past right and my M44 killed the RU and the RU killed my M44
and there was no rule for this so we ended up having to replay the round we lost
well well I'll never forget it man I think we lost that much 5-0 so you know it
would have been like the the single saving grace at the other points you
You know, it's good that you have a backhouse scan, you never know, anything that can happen
will happen.
I mean, essentially it's Phil and I sitting there like, but what if actually, Nourj?
And I would not be surprised if you have many of those moments, but actually, let me tell
you, you might be my boss, but...
Right, I don't say the yes like this, but apart from that...
Anyway, let's mentally reset a little bit after this first two rounds of cliff.
We are now going over to Tundra and I guess the good news for either team is that they're not playing against weekend here.
Yeah, and what a what a round we had before 50 B band maybe bound by W mafia
Looking at the 60 to P the BZ the driver to CS
The changing a little bit the 60 P triple busy CS E 50 M in the 140 and for W
We have the double BZ the 140 the triple the quadruple 430 you so W really looking for an all-out
DPM engagement whereas mafia I think they would prefer for the engagement to
be kind of a Mexican standoff with being able to peak with the BZs every 15
seconds. Well well well let's see how this one ends up playing out. Four teams
going to it. Yep as they should in my opinion we saw Matisito trying to play
south but to be honest it was a slow death by a thousand cuts essentially as
Kono, interestingly, gets spotted out by Eios and doesn't really see a whole lot in return.
Piot immediately takes a shot of damage from Profus in that 140.
Kono booking it to the northern artillery strike.
He gets an M1.
W, what are they going to do with all of those 430Us that are coming through as Conrad Varkis,
Uzak, all of those BZs from Mafia?
They see double BZ and they see Mentos in that 430U, completely overextending, taking a lot of damage.
but now he should be all down as the BZs from Mafia are looking for yet another commitment into the WBZ from W.
They have the numbers, they have the gun advantage.
They got everything going for them right now, Kono and Lukin having a 1v1 in the meantime and Profus getting those early shots
means the Inspire is rock and rolling throughout this.
Piotr down towards a one shot for the BZs, but they're letting Profus do most of it.
They find the first one which is Piotr, Lukin and Kono in a 1v1 that does not matter.
Eytoks is dead as well, profuse with the low alpha medium, gets a perfect kill, a perfect
clean of Ios not getting chased down as well.
And Mafia on the first round of turn dry have found the secret sauce where it looks
of things, yeah Kono is still in this one, V1, but this is honestly good for Mafia, it's
the CS not being engaged, and sure, but the 4 to the U is so much more important.
And as the battle continues on, these 4 to the U's are running against the wall, that
is the BZ75 from Mafia and they may have won the cliff by just an inch. They're
winning the first tundra by a mile. Absolutely, and for the longest time this
season it seemed like a concerted effort of DPM mediums like 430Us couldn't be
stopped by this wall of BZs, but I guess if you have the wall himself in your team,
Yuzek, that is, then even the 430Us can be stopped. Mafia, get one up on their
their first map pick against W, they're going up in the match as well.
And W, I mean, maybe the cliff round was a little bit tilting, but here, definitely.
It was Mafia from start to finish with the advantage.
Initials, like it's very important to note a few things there.
Initially, Mafia could very big advantage, and this comes from the start of the battle,
which is something we probably, nobody really pays attention to.
But what is very important to pay attention to guys
when we're talking about it is a few things there.
Profouz gets two shots in the beginning.
He hits Piotr and he hits one more.
Now, why is this so important?
The 140 pops is an inspire for the BZs to engage.
IOS doesn't have an inspire yet at that point,
because the 140 needs like a shot and a half, I think,
these days to get the inspire off,
which means they have the initial advantage.
And then Mentos makes a bad peak as well,
so they already drop a 40 to the U2 about half HP.
But this initial advantage just keeps rolling, you know, because they get the first Inspire,
then the first gets a better Inspire, they're always ahead in the Inspire game because of it.
And there's also no way for W to really reset the engagement,
because Mafia at that point dictate the pace of the game.
They are the ones that are deciding to actually over-push onto the WBZs,
and yes, Piotr and Eitox each able to get out three shells of damage,
which at least for Piotr who went out first is actually more than I expected,
But, yeah, I think Mafia, the way in which they set up the control of the pace of the game, that was masterfully done.
Well, really good stuff for them.
Let's put it that way.
It is a really, really, really good first round for Mafia on Tundra.
And, yeah, that cliff round, you know, if you're down, you're probably slightly upset about it, because you know as well that actually roles could have made a difference there.
You know what I mean? Like it really could have, you know, I was shooting a G at the FV with a bomb in the game, for example.
That's really what it came down to.
Well, the good news for W is that they can now try to repeat that, as they are going to spawn on the site that Mafia just did.
But overall, I mean, this was a masterclass of a Tundra from Mafia.
I mean the fact of the matter remains that you know the way that W actually played it kind of played into how mafia wanted to play so
You could call it a little bit of a counter
in that way, so I
Mean it's up to W now to make a move here. They're the ones trailing
no, and I mean there is nothing that they can really attribute this to except to
their own fault, I guess. I mean the first good round of cliff followed up by
essentially a coinflip which they lost and then here, I mean the first tundra
Mafia looked so much better. Yeah but you know it's also just snowball from the
initial so you know Brifuz gets some shots and goes from behind and W is
switching it up, not looking for the fight if it sticks like this, 402U banned by W
themselves they're banding for it to you mafia band the movies that I get to be
these five of them CS 140 W in return look at it can anyone's galore three of
them a hurricane a 60 to be at the sack and I don't believe it I don't believe
it it is go the car let's go wagon well let's see if the cranking wagon is going
be the ambulance to bring mafia to the hospital. I mean, if anything, this shows that W were,
they were hiding something from us, Turkey, and they're willing to show it now. I mean,
the initial plane from Klerf and that Tessak is of course going to hit all seven of the mafia
tanks. This means that W now, I mean, full info, Klerf is going to get the info tower once again,
this intern also been good I mean okay damage from the K91s on to Arches
this means mini strikes are important to note as well but yeah
Mafia I mean good damage from the Tessac into Rexha does reset the artillery
strike as well and look at that hurricane already from W he's taking
their infotower. The damage on to Mafia in the beginning, even, you know,
Parkus 2.3, Baxar 2.9, that's the start coming in as well,
Fennessey Misholz, and now Mafia is going to freeze the game for a while.
And their hope is that they'll be able to get the strikes, but at the same time,
Eithers is kind of denying that, you know, he's on the cap and he wants to make it
in a way that they're forced to use the strikes to decap him.
He's hiding behind the rock.
So, W right now, I mean it's pretty easy to calculate who has done more damage,
because Mafia haven't done any.
But yeah, the cap is of course the more pressing issue.
At this point in time, that 60TP of itox, he doesn't really care if he takes a strike or maybe even two.
But first of all, they need to somehow spot him.
And to do that, Mafia would need info towers, and those are not located where Mafia are.
No, indeed, they are unable to get any info in this one, so they're going to have to play
a game of guessing, and use a pushing across takes a shot as well.
There you are. I don't even know if they know where Eytox is on the cap right now.
No, and I think they would probably assume that he's like in the backlines,
sort of behind the like biggest rock and not where he actually is right now and this explains why mafia
are now pushing through the south. Yes, they're going to spot the 60gp now and they're going to
reset him so that disaster has been avoided but the hp there another one waiting to happen.
Yeah Rex and I are getting a strike that's the first of the mini strikes there's probably more
coming in towards him 800 and hp left Kono is going to be able to take the middle strike at least
So they get another strike back, but now W can play the game off while we just keep rotating and Conrad right now is really lonely to be honest looking at it. Very, very lonely if you Conrad and I think he's aware of that loneliness as well.
Oh, it takes a shot by, I believe, the hurricane as a clerk was considering going for Conrad,
but he is tightly tucked into a corner as Orzhek and Barquez are looking at Lukin and
Ayo says, well, that does not trade well here, but yeah, Barquez gets retaliated up
on and for now, so good for W that are also taking another 150 damage toll from two Orzhek.
Yeah, Mark is taking another shot, Hydrox gonna get caught by the double BZ though, crossing over in the open.
Wexer and Yuzek should give him a shot for this, I guess.
I thought? No, actually no, he can do that for free.
Instead, Yuzek takes another shot of damage and W, I guess taking a look at the...
Oh, good job, I cornered into Lukin, but taking a look at the Matesito approach and saying,
yeah, okay, but we can do better.
I mean, the HP is really bad for Mafia, they took so much damage to get this reset, it's been really punishing to Janus.
Good shots for Myros.
He's using, I would say abusing those bushes there, he also sees that the bush is about to happen onto itox,
and then he could hugely profit off of that, they're trying to blind him, he's trying to double bush as Barkas gets spotted.
And for the first time, maybe Mafia will be able to take an Info Tower, but there is still
Clarif in that Tissac. He could load JG and just decap for free. I mean, not decap the
cap, but decap the Info.
Yeah, I'd be really surprised if they're able to take this Info Tower, because actually crossing
over takes a shot from Luka and will make it one further, keeps going. He's going to take
one for Mitrux, but no, actually manages to get across, actually. Not too shabby from
But he's going to have to face off against Ios all the way in the K2 position, I don't see how he ends up trading successfully out of this.
I mean, Klerv coming through as well does get spotted against Juzek, but what Juzek obviously doesn't know is that the K91 has crossed as well.
Italks takes some damages, well, I'm not sure where that shot from Italks was actually supposed to go.
and now Parkis and Orzhek are going to be coming through italks.
He would need one more shell, but Yuzek now has healed above that threshold.
But Parkis and Orzhek are actually going to ignore what's going to be happening with that 60TP.
The strike helps as well. Yuzek goes down.
Klerf manages to go around the corner and all of a sudden W is crambling back with another full HP,
K91, to face off against Orzhek.
Yeah, but Orzhek is in the worst position on the K91, to be honest.
The Mentos is repushing as well. Good shot there from Orzhek.
Parkus does find the kill, but Mentos is coming back in as well to clean up his E-50M in the south.
Eios actually ends up missing that one, and he might actually be going down for this.
Parkus is going to be reloaded as well, so not too sure.
No, he actually ends up surviving by Mentos getting the kill.
Nakono coming in, Profus coming in.
There's more reinforcements on towards this point of the map.
Mentos is tracked though.
They are not able to retract him, and Profus actually ends up missing as well.
That's a disaster for Mathia.
But look at the HP, it's double for W.
The Kran is setting the clip out against Konrad, but not that successful with the Kran.
Oh, a second shell also misses. Not sure what happened with the first one that he actually fired,
but the Tessac finds a victim. He takes a profuse, and the team captain,
Don Barkis, drives into yet another strike and peop with that full HP hurricane that you were only
able to obtain in the onslaught mode. He is the thing that's going to win the match, or rather,
of the game for W for sure a ram insult to injury and now that double BZ75 of Mafia well
it's not looking good coach.
Oh looking doesn't count.
And either Pilter gets a good shot back he might even push forward I think they want
to clean up the game.
Rexxar does heal past a one shot they don't have a secondary heal but Pilter is a three
shot for these guys I mean it's not really gonna happen unless they somehow manage to
boost into him. I think they all are the boosters at this point in the DC. The game has been going
through so long that it'd be surprising to have any left in IOS by Intraxxor, Lukin to finish off
Konrad and W, combined HP of 1190, but they do end up winning the second round.
Well, a second round on a map and the second time it's very, very close, but I think W with the
kind of advantage that they generated at the start of the game. It was just too much for
from Mafia to overcome because let's be real here it was far from clean from W
especially at the end with that Krambang bouncing and missing quite a bit
but it was just about enough to carry it over the finish line and Luke in there
with 6.3k damage only 657 of which are strike damage on top of the board and I
guess Ducky the Krambang I'm gonna say it 100%
right needs to be nerfed huh again again I mean it's still at you know you can
see the stats for yourself let's nerf the progettable rat as well true just for
good measure
but yeah this is good for the match as a whole I guess the fact that we are now
at a two to two which reduces the best of 11 that we started with essentially to a
a best of seven and in that one we are going to start on good old key and key
it's him and starve yeah and to two coming in so we went from the best of
eleven to this is the best of seven exactly phase two match well what
happened in the phase two match maybe in the map video production will be able
to show us once again as we go into the map video and there we go phase 2 score as well.
If it goes according to this then this is going to be a rather boring one.
Well I mean both teams the funny part is that these are what is phase 2 and phase 1 scores.
beat W3-0 in phase 1 and W beat mafia 4-0 in phase 2 so you know it's like 4-3 and 4.
Up to this the 2-2 that we currently have it's a 6-5.
If Himmelsdorf gets split you know where it is.
Where is 6-7?
Oh boomer bro I swear to god.
You will enjoy these jokes at some point as well. Don't worry. Anyway, Mafia coming into him will start banning out the CS 63 W in the meanwhile. Don't want to see a Blitzkivica, so Mafia are going to be starting with double 60TP, double 50B and E5 together with a type 5 and a betcha.
I do not recall, then again, you were casting that match heavily, I wasn't, so maybe I
was looking away, it was gone too quickly.
Ah no, now I remember, yeah, now I remember, exactly.
Alright, opening wise, double B from Mafia are going to be going through the 7 line together with the 6 TTP Conrad immediately taking a shot of damage and that enables Ios to immediately pop the Inspire so the double 50 B together with the double Ios 7 immediately get to those positions and now they're good shot by Ios but to be honest those double 50 Bs I'm not sure how good they're going to fair because they're going to be facing off against double 50 B of their own Conrad though might end up getting caught out as Piot with the Haldas.
and I was able to zone those 50Bs out with italks, taking a lot of punishment from that
bachat on the hill, and Barak is able to put another shot into italks that immediately
goes down.
That's a 50B removed from the game.
Yeah, right now these double Bs that came across the opener just dying.
Perfuse gives one as well.
Rexler with the finish.
W tried to surprise, but Mafia was ready for it, lingering in those lines in the bachat
from the hill.
It's the final nail in the coffin, literally, four italks and four mentors.
Now Piotr, it's the next woman, sure, Ortrek in the 5th, I mean, he's dead, but Konrad gets one more shot before he goes down and it's just all over at this point normally speaking for the side of W.
Yeah, they have HP, and HP is all cool and all, but the numbers are gonna roll over the AIS-7, over the 4th that he used, and it's 50 Bs that will make this HP disappear like snow in the sun.
The plurth is dead, looking soon to follow Mafia, round one on Himmelsurf, they didn't
have to do much for it, but they were in the right positions, well it mattered.
I think that bat shot on the hill was the absolute undoing for W, it counted everything
that they were doing and then of course there were those phased out engagements where the
burst of the bat shot could be perfectly used, then he didn't get some targets for some
time and he was probably reloading and then the engagement erupted again and oh wonder,
No wonder the batch out was reloaded, so he probably had a fairly easy game point and
click adventure and now Ios is going to try and drag out the game for a bit just to be
able to secure the tiebreaker condition if it comes to that one.
Yeah, round number one, I mean W, I feel like we haven't seen them play two Igro throughout
the season and when they did it, they didn't really end up working.
remind of your back. Yeah, I guess. Then again, both teams, I think willing to experiment
a little bit in these finals. I mean, the best of 11, after all, is a very long match to
play as IOS gets shut down by the combined autoloader power that Mafia have brought to
bear. And this means Mafia once again up a round against W, but so far probably not
the end? No, I mean, you know, we haven't seen a team take more than a one-round lead,
which I wouldn't call really a lead because it doesn't really mean much. It's not even
a whole map. However, if they would win the second Himmels, right, then 4-2, I do not
remember what's in the second half of this match, but this was kind of free for W, eh,
for W, for Mafia against W. And think about it this way, right, that W comes into these
These finals felt really good after their first match against Mafia, but Mafia is putting
up a lot more resistance than that time around.
They are already in a longer match now than they had the first time.
Now we've seen that they are able to win finals, right?
But if I remember well, most of their finals were very clean wins.
I think all the finals that W won so far in OLS at some point in time they started kind of running away with it, right?
Yeah, so 6-3 against Hidden Run, yeah.
6-3 against Cashback.
Oh, phase 2 score is actually W40.
Yeah, Mafia 3-0 W in the first phase.
Ah, that's what I said, no?
I don't remember to be honest.
Anyway, so W1, all of their match is 6-3 again, from the looks of it.
6-3, season 2, 6-3, season 3 against Cashback again, and then 6-3 against Hit-and-Run.
You know, if that was the case, I'm just saying, if they get into a really long match,
we don't know how it's going to play out.
I mean, theoretically, we could take WCI as an example, because at WCI,
matches tend to be longer or attended with the like longer times in between right and there
at the encounter in the playoffs um in between mafia and uh uh and w it was mafia winning out
and they went on to win wci 2025 so um does it bode well for w is the question i mean three
points as you said is the most that anyone has has ever gotten in the finals against W.
So if Mafia are able to the extent that I guess a success already but they'll be aiming for more
with that CS63 band W50B band on there and and Mafia bringing out the heavy headers quadruple
E4 together with the 430U and i7 and 6CTP. W, I'm waiting to see if they're actually
switching the stank away or they're keeping you 60p private so 140 triple per 30u and a tvp
on himmel serve not the greatest fan personally sorry to say it i'm not the greatest fan of the
tvp like i mean mainly on himmel's it has a really low heatman is it 300 or 310
i think it's 310 i think the crown was 300 but i thought about 310 which is kind of low and the
gun is still in it. I know what you mean. But yeah, Mafia, I think they're they're bringing
just like good old reliable, I guess is what they would paint on the guns if they could
of those American tank destroyers. And now let's see how this one actually opens up because W,
yes, they're sending the TVP to the hill, but it's solo hill and that right now is
good shot into italks but I believe profuse. But for now so far so good I guess for
Pumentos on the hill he doesn't see anything but I think he's getting scared now
contemplating running away just spotting on timings I guess for CS and batch at after then
possibly 140 and now we see a rotation coming in by the double 430 as well as the 140 so almost
all the Soviet mediums that W have brought in these finals are making their way onto the hill,
but we as the all-knowing observers, we obviously do know that there is absolutely no one there from
mafia. Conrad takes the cap, he's got to be careful because I think he can be safe from all angles.
Clair of the Schrodinger rail wagons, he can kind of duck in there, I guess,
as the for the UN Conrad, you know, has to be careful because Mentos is looking for the shots.
Well, first of all, Pjot, hold down here, is going to... if it worst comes to worst,
he can drive back the IS-7 with HE and decap him this way.
For now, he's seemingly looking for the Capola, but yeah, I think W are just waiting for their
medium tanks to secure the hill and then kind of... I'm not sure if it's going to be problems
for Mafia that the hill will be completely not in their control but it won't be comfortable either.
I think now Mafia Alarm Bells are starting to ring a little bit more as they want to
repush from W starting, I mean Kono getting pushed back, Jotter doing it unspotterably before
rotating another E4 rotating but they're already repushing Kono trying to run away as far as he
can but even if Kono gets away the problem is Conrad. That's the second tank in that position
He's getting clipped out by the TVP from behind and there's a lot of damage dealt on towards itox
But Conrad is dead for this strike comes out and itox gets shracked
Can he go back to it does seem like itox is fine
He'll be low Kono does make it out and how much can mafia do off of losing the first tank on their team?
Look in on the first of you not doing that good
And this the TVP is starting to be very annoying actually
Good kill though from using come towards looking and now the repush needs to happen from mafia because the two tanks on the hill
will kill them all if it comes down to it. The Permatrack, the shot from Piotr as well, the 140 just
Blasting away from the back lines. You can see Rexard is dead because of that. The HP is in favor of W
But also keep in mind how much of that is currently on the hill though
Well, Ios with that 140 from the hill is gonna get continuous shots into all the tanks of Mafia that are at the bottom
And that also means continuous inspire as well for W
All of their tanks are gonna be that little bit better as Nepal trying to make a move on towards Kono here
He makes it through the opening actually as prefuse peeking from the other side Nepal slight mistake possibly
He doesn't shield his teammate Barkas is now gonna come in and throw out all of this Mentos has been able to reload
He bounced one that means he has two more he bounced to make that yeah to in this clip
He is able to reload
Um, level 3 ability, but yeah, Eiles on that hill, he still holds so much HP, and I think W4 against Nepal is now going for a WT,
but only one of them actually does connect. Mentos comes back into this, he immediately pulled Thariload again, doesn't want to, uh, commit with only half a clip remaining.
Prefuse on a one-shot as well as Nepal gets cover from the hill, Orzhek dies, and now Mentos come from the back lines with the backstab, and W once again equalizing the score.
It is 3-all.
Yeah, 3-all indeed.
Again, a game that could have gone either way,
but some crucial track shots from the hill, you know,
that E4, I think it was Rex or Popset, they find so much damage.
Could have still gone Mafia's way,
but the shooting from W was very, very good.
I think without that shooting, W actually loses the round,
but like this now we see,
well, both of us, not the biggest fans of the TPP,
But to be honest, Mentos doesn't need to care about our opinion if the team at EFCs wins the rounds with him playing TVP.
Clarifus, well, 4.9 and, well, I mean, looking somebody, someone's going to bite the bullet for pushing, I guess.
Yes, that's true. Yusek didn't really get much done in the Z4 either, you know, 332 damage, one kill.
Even Kogmeir got two shots, so something went wrong for him. He might have been getting clips from the hill as well.
I mean the TVP and the 140 pretty up there on on the damage board
And so yeah, they did have the continuous fire and I think the like the info tower that W took it was like the
As you said alarm siren for mafia to do something they started moving
But at that point W were more than ready
With those 430 you to get stuck into the fight and then have hell raining down from that hill
But yeah, that is the first three maps split one-to-one each making the best of seven
We were talking about previously in a phase one
I got a big throw
That's a five
Yeah, I mean the W pick before that split as well
I'm really worried for this Ghost Town because if there's one map where I would really favor W
It's Ghost Town. This could still end 6-3-3. It's very possible
Let's see. Let's wait and see. I mean, that's the only thing we can do besides the app
of course, but the two teams are going to dictate the outcome of this. And I mean either storyline
would be an interesting one, right? W keeping their 100% or less playoff win rate, or Mafia
breaking that, getting the second title as well, being able to reconfirm that they're a team to
be reckoned with after they only got third of the regular season, all this kind of stuff.
And maybe actually winning the regular season, assuming now Mafia wins, winning regular season could be a curse.
Like I think the only team that ever won regular season and then went on to win all of it was probably cashback in season one, right?
Well, Goson is worrying for me.
W has been very good on it.
Can they shut it down though?
I think that boils down to the fact as well that a lot of the W players are extremely versatile
when it comes to the tanks being played anyway, though Mafia don't want to see a T57W
W, opting out of that EBR 105 and that means that Mafia are going to be bringing a Dravitz
double type 5K91 W4 and the RHM.
In return T100, D4, Leopard, CS, Bad, Type and Dravitz for W.
Seems like everyone on W gets to play their favorite tank, the T100 with the low noise
and purple optics of course is going to be outspoting the RHM with the same equipment
just because of the better Camel value that it gets based, but
I think a lot of it depends on timing and engagement as well, and I wonder at this point
how often the light tank players of each team have rewatched the
replays of each other to just understand and get into each other's head.
Oh, Claire, immediately going on the Infotel with that T100, but does opt out of it.
He does get spotted, so the plane has been used by Kono, and a shot of damage goes in as well.
This means Kono does have the replaying level 2 ability as well, not the best start for W, although it nets them the artillery strike.
We've seen bad shots down the bushline from W time and time again. I think Mafia is very, very, very aware that Mendoza is somewhere there in a bad shot.
Well, seems like they don't care particularly much about this, Ios getting the first spot
on the Type Vs, that means he is going to have an artillery strike available as well.
As both of them make it on the cap, is Ios going to get one more shot of damage?
Yes, he will.
He doesn't quite get the level 2 off of it, he would have liked that with the first shot
on UZEC 2, but Konrad taking the artillery strike in the west with the drabets of all
things.
Yeah, I think Mafia realized that W are all in on Lee's and flank.
The reset comes out towards the C100, he will just go in and out.
He's very much aware of that. Double cap pressure.
Now there is a move on the lower side.
A rotation from Mafia, or with the RHM across the kill-in as well.
Perfus does make it across before Klorv gets to plane it out,
but Klorv probably had to plane the cap as well and returns without Perfus.
Isn't this annoying position? The driver's in the E4. Just gonna push past though.
Past Vexar, even Yusek and Bark is now starting to move back across that cap.
They might want to consolidate on that 7-line.
Good shot from Ios again. Now Mentos in the Batxat.
There's a push there on towards the 0-line.
But Fus is waiting. Mentos, this is not the play for you in the Batxat 25T.
This is kind of a suicide. He's dead. Orchek finds it.
Unforced error from Mentos thought that he could do it,
but he could not. The driver has pushed down the 7-line in the meantime.
The Bacha is dead, and Yuzekin Barkis, they're coming, the Leopard of Ios, he's done a phenomenal job this season.
We'll have to put in a ton of damage if they want to bring back this game, because it's currently 5000 HP down,
and I think Mafia is just going to go for the all in at this point, try to trade it out, push from all fronts.
Yuzek going for N'Bal, does he have a Chilo at it? No, I don't think so, the strike coming at it,
so he's like taking his sweet time to find the kill, and just like on Himmels, I don't think he's going to do much more than that.
But nonetheless, Kono getting some damage from Jyotar Mafia closing out this game
It would be a miracle if W come back. Eitog's dead as well. This is an overreaction from W
Absolutely, I mean
Mentors, I could see what he was thinking and trying to do by pushing over the K91
But yeah, yeah, they know that he's there
But the batch out if it goes if it gets their full HP it defeats the K91 and the 1v1
But the thing is that well, he didn't make it so there's not when that one
Normally if he gets a bullet he does not win this one we won because he gets out of it
No, he already took some damage on the first crossover and even then there's strikes for mafia and profusal strike
I doubt that the battle instance actually on pure DPM
It has to do all five of his shots reload and give him a few more shots to kill
I don't see it. I don't see him winning a pure 1v1
And at least we have the part cam with the bird here, bird is the word, but yeah, the word as well around ghost town is Mafia is going to pick up that first round and the worry that you had for them, at least in this one it was unwarranted.
No, but I really think W made such an unforced error, they had strikes on the leopard, they had a strike on the CS, they had a big strike, they had planes, they had communication towers, they knew everything and they opted to go for it.
And I guess it's Nerv's playing into the move that Mentos made because, you know, big responsibility on his shoulder and yeah, well, it was costly, but it wasn't just him, though, like, even if he just sits at the zero line, I think Mafia was very well positioned to deal with this in general.
So did you see Orzhek even got the shot without getting spotted because there were some brass stitches?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, like, brass actually, there's a brass there that prevents you from spotting the corner on the D-line, very annoying actually.
somebody can peek from there and shoot you without ever getting swallowed because of the grass
oh already huh that's very really um i mean first of all we don't even have the results for this
yeah but uh yeah let's uh i think we should i think we should have them now but for now we also know
that mafia winning pretty comfortably off of this mistake from mentors mostly um in my opinion
Also, I think W were playing extremely greedy throughout this whole game.
For example, the T100 trying to pick up the Info Tower when he doesn't know if the enemy team has one or even two lights.
So, yeah, W with a couple mistakes and all of them get punished extremely hard by Mafia, and this leads us to Mafia getting, let's say, within striking distance of the end.
I mean, four rounds, I look, I don't believe in superstition QH, but it's one of the things,
you know, W never lost more, it's like the ticking of the boxes, you know, W never lost
more in the three rounds in the grand finals.
And W also never won a regular season.
Until now?
Yes, yes, yes, but I'm talking specifically about the finals here, you know, this is uncharted
territory.
I will say though like the longer this match goes on you know like it's mafia is more
used to playing this really really long drawn out it's gonna fight us.
I mean then again I think Piotr should have a lot of experience that he probably is able
to pour into his teammates like you know shake up the hands a little maybe if you die early
in one of the rounds, I don't know, quickly take a breather, stand up, walk in a small
circle three times and then sit back down. Walk on wood. There we go. Okay, well, good,
I mean, okay, let's put it this way, right? As much as I'm worried for mafia and ghost
and I'm still waiting for the second round. Equally worried I am for W on Pilsen.
Yeah, I think the fact that W give up this first Grosstown round in an uncharacteristic
fashion in this season is something worrying for them. But Mafia, to keep with the wood
allegories you know mafia is by far not out of the woods yet panhard ebr
getting banned by mafia and w don't want to see the rhm that's going to
translate in an all-fighting tanks lineup for mafia at the moment double t57
type 5 heavily double CES 63 430 and prefers bringing out the blitzkivitz
well w also going for a different tactic 60p double t57 scs can anyone double
for you smells like cap from both teams really no cap no cap for real no really
like it's double CS for 30 you to the cap for mafia and double for you in the
CS to the cap for the W that's what it looks like well both teams are sending
those tanks there and so all of this is going to be a rather interesting
dynamic that's going to develop in between both of the teams mafia is going
to be on the cap first but obviously more DPM available from W with those 430
as they get sent in, but that might be a tad early because the T57 from Mafia are about to peak
as the focus fire by either team not really great. T57's coming in from both sides,
Bark is the first one to blow up, Konrad to follow to the grave, that is two announced kills
for the side of Jadliu Mafia trailing at the moment, and Konrad in that Srikono,
in that one plus three of the mediums, maybe he'll get one more, but then it's over.
Well he actually ends up bouncing, W's just faster in position, the game is over in return as well,
Well, to be honest, I don't want to say more than that, it's W's just faster.
They just faster to position, which is weird because Ghoston is symmetrical, though.
I mean, maybe they had like the Grousers and...
No, W drove through the 5-line, no? Did they not drive? They'd known.
Yeah, W drove through 5-line.
But with 187s as well?
Oh, with those? I'm actually not entirely sure.
Well, well, well. They had a similar idea, what can I say?
Similar idea, but the crazy thing is that the match or the round actually ends with 7-0 in text.
So, well, fastest victory if it comes to a tiebreaker.
I think we know who gets it if nothing absolutely crazy happens.
Yeah, that's all the W to pick that one up.
Interesting that both teams kept committing for the cap door.
He just needs to check the driving later on,
like, how come that W is just so much faster with the 57 heavies?
They also have a slightly better lineup for this, simply because there's a type 5 on the
side of Mafia and they don't have that.
They have 60TP as the slowest tank, you know, and even that is really not that slow to be
honest.
No, if it has like purple turbo, it's, I mean, not fast by any means, but they are
good for W here.
I think this round, they really need it.
they go down once again against mafia like with two rounds for the first time in the
match then mafia on the match point and w no mistakes anymore allowed and we have seen
w throughout the day make quite a few of those so this well as the story sometimes goes
best of 11 9 7 5 we're down to 3 yeah so we go from a face to match to a face one
much right now onto pilsen I would say mafia favorite map they've played it a
ton had some very decisive victories on it
yeah then then again I at some point I will need to check the mafia win rate on
pilsen because I feel like at some point in time they also had it like like a
lose streak on it as crazy as that sounds but well now is not the time for that now is the time for
mafia to possibly put themselves ahead once again in these grand finals here and I mean
this round is not going to bring the conclusion quite yet but it might bring us from this point on
half the way there. Let's see what kind of Wilson we get. It's really interesting that both of these
teams ended up playing almost exactly the same in Ghostland. Like they had the same thought like
we do this now. It's a surprise. Maybe they trained against the same team and then developed this
strat as a counter strat to what they were training against? Maybe. It could be. It could be the case.
But yeah, let's see. In we go into Pilsen. This is going to be around number nine between
both of those teams. And I believe Banffay is just about to be over. Mafia don't want
to see AT-57 and W. Don't want to see an EBR, so Mafia are going to start with, well, that
is fairly straightforward. BZ-75 times 3 and Object 430U times 4.
W in return, CS63, K91, W430U, W4 in the right champ, so Mafia is going for the quick play.
Yeah, Mafia is going for the quick play, meanwhile IOS might be going for the quick playing,
because that is probably what it's going to need for W to find out immediately what kind of strategy
Mafia is operating here with, because if W don't immediately go for the tools that it needs to reset,
the cap play that I suspect Mafia is going to go for,
then it might be dire times as the DPM from those 430 is just going to rip through
anything and everything from W as the 430's.
Are they going to get spotted by Ios? Yes, he sees WBZ,
triple BZ actually and the 430, gets spotted in return
but is able to stay safe as the double 430 on the outside by Mafia,
gets spotted as well from Ios but the problem for W is
A lot of those tanks are not in any kind of position to deal with the cap.
And Klerf is going to challenge Kono here, spots him out, but Kono is about to get pressure
by a lot more tanks from behind that he hasn't seen yet.
Klerf will just commit him to this one, Orcic will give him a shot, and Klerf might even
go peek against Kono.
Kono is about to see the 40 U's coming from behind and start backing away.
There is many strikes available and now Mafia is off to push from the cap.
Kono is basically dead already at this point.
800 HP.
comes out from Mafia, but Kono is not in a position to do too much and W is
already holding with the E4, the BZ is now pushing through, Piotr pushing on
towards Kono, there's no crossfire coming in whatsoever, Eitoks is going to get
pushed by the trio of BZs, Kono does his last shot and Orchak is working on
making his last one-two shots happen as well, Eitoks is going to die to Baxar
but that is going to take a while, he needs a shot from Konrad, gets a block as
well, Orchak is dead as we already expected, Eitoks doesn't, oh he does pop the
But Rexler gets enough damage and Nepal's already running away. Mafia does have more HP, but in the long game they will not win.
They have to continue pushing. Profus is now backing off, but he has no support either. Piotr, Klorf, Mentos, they're all pushing on him.
And there's nobody watching for this. He cannot hold the amount of tanks that are pushing his way either.
So, how does Mafia approach this right now?
How does that Mafia approaches this? The question, can they trade out Prefus in any kind of fashion?
That's the question as Piotr, good shots, good track shots.
That's not the first one this round. And now from behind is Mentos coming in to call himself with all the DPM that the K91 offers.
Piotr, does he get shielded by Mentos? The answer is yes, as Prefus just does the damage that he can.
And that is going to be a triple sandwich on towards Prefus.
This is going to mean four tanks out of which three are heavies that cannot really do anything.
against the mediums but now they do have the cap a plane goes down and they do
have those artillery strike mediums they have a big strike even to secure the cap
against mafia and all of a sudden W find themselves with very little HP six and a
half K only but if they can draw this out La Rata might once again be the key
to victory for W. Here look how many mini strikes they have I mean Ios is behind
already Rex is forced inside Cromwell and music spotted making their move
across in Rexar getting spotted out by Nepal. Nepal might even peak this at some
point. They're getting spotted out and missed there. There's a K91 in the north.
Rexar has to be pushed as well. They're driving through the open, driving
through the strikes pushing across. Now Rexar boosting in this. The big strike
coming in 500 from the mini strikes. Another 850 from the big ones. Konrad
down to 556 and all of a sudden that 10k HP they have not looking that good
anymore. Kihan, Nepal might be down towards the one shot but this is a long
match for Mafia across the open into unspotted tanks that are shooting them
from behind bushes getting cleaned across every step getting shot across
every step and it will not be Mafia to pick up match point instead it will be W
No behind every move they make behind every step they take there is a W
tank a W medium currently watching them and shooting them and taking the toll
for every bloody inch that Mafia is trying to advance onto those tanks of
W. They are paying dearly with HP Conrad to fall down as well as Clurf. Doesn't
he matter at the... oh good shot from Yuzek into Clurf. But yeah, Piot to pick it up
here and that is a quick double kill once again on to Mafia and W after all of this
is said and done are gonna go to match point. They do pull off a very very good
reaction to what Mafia was doing here. It was a dance on the Razor's Edge but
But W, seemingly pretty quick feet.
Yeah, good move from them.
On towards that field, they're finding the 30 U's and capping was never really an option for Mafia.
And then you see the BZ's, they're just slow, they're like mammoths.
They're not of this age in what W was playing.
They're just too big, too slow.
They find a kill, they find a second kill, but by the time it happens, they've lost everything.
everything.
Yeah, I think that's a that's a very good analysis like the the BZ 75 it was like the flavor of last month is
Sometimes what it feels like especially on Pilsen and I mean
As worried as we were for W on Ghost Town after they lost the first round there
I guess as worried we are now for mafia that have lost their first round respectively on Pilsen
Second round is coming in though pretty soon
Could be the first time W in 6-4
Could be or we are gonna go for the professional content extension that's of course also a possibility
but
If if you're holding it with W, of course, you're hoping for this match 10 in regular time as there is only one way that this
Might be the case anymore. So let's see
You're having you having played stuff like this, what do you do before such a round if you're done around?
Nothing in particular, to be honest.
Let's focus on the next one.
You try not to think about the fact that you're about to win or lose, you know?
Denial sometimes works, I guess.
Hey, it's going to cheat it like any other round, you know?
Let's see. If Mafia are going to heed your advice, both of the teams this time around,
This time around, I think that might almost be the first time that they agree on the ban here in this match.
The EBR is not going to be seen anywhere, and that means either team plays exactly as they wanted to.
Bravets from music together with a CS 63, a K91, a 430, a Foshby, an E4 and an RHM to fend off.
Match point, tournament point, season point from W.
WCS 140, W430U and E4 in an IHM 4W looking to close out the game with that final line up.
Very quick, very mobile, but so is Mafia, this time around. Kono is playing this three, Klos gets Klosübe.
Oh, Klerf doesn't use it and he knows of course that Kono's plane only hit three,
They're going to be communicating that so for now
Plurve with a little bit of an advantage, but that is in the field
So for W that's six I guess seven now with a fur as well and for
for mafia, that's
Not that much less as
Mentors and now Paul are gonna drive through with OCS as they're even going to avoid the
They're even just gonna drive through, they don't care, but they don't know how many tanks Mafia has here actually.
They're gonna drive behind the houses and to be honest the damage that they're taking for this move is not that bad,
not that critical as Kono gets caught out in the light tank,
but if from the back lines comes Rexar with not only a Fosh B, but also a steel chair,
those CSs are gonna be the point of contention as Kono is about to fall in that light tank.
W, they have everyone here, but they pay dearly for this cross.
And the first be now starting to clip out trying to make his name known
Mentals down to a 735 profuse trying to do the DPM that he can bark is in that 40 to you is pretty much dead
And only now does the rabbits in the e4 from mafia start joining Mentals down towards the one shot
Here comes I also swell in that 140 does bark is get one more shot out
No, he does in rexer with the force no finds Piotr and now profuse in the K-91 could be the difference maker in use
I can actually in a very strong position the wall shuts down looking looking tries to get up the strike comes out from
From Profuse, that's a 250 level strike.
And does he get another one out of the kill?
He does. Mentos is dead as well.
Normally speaking, Profuse will put that one down
in just a second. I don't think Mentos could dodge it either.
Now Rex are pulling back. It will
or should be a 3 on 4.
Usage spots out. Mentos. Profuse has the strike.
There comes the killer. Good shot from the backline.
So Profuse drops to 647.
And I think yet again, Mattia cannot let the pressure go.
They have to give chase.
Indeed, italks smartly after popping the ability, turns the bot towards the enemy tank to not get double-tracked,
as Io's now able to support the E4-clerk from the sidelines, coming in with the shot,
Jusek taking a big one here, but retaliating on towards italks, that makes it kind of back to the backlines of the rival piles,
but at this point in time, Mafia playing with four tanks against the three of W, they do have the numerical advantage,
Well, W, they still do have the light tank here, but does that matter when you have Reksa marching down the 7-line together with Yuzek to try and pick up Eytorx?
I think they're about to get that kill, transition onto Ios as well in that 140 and from there on out, the road is paved towards a tiebreaker.
They just need to convert it.
Yeah, the road is open.
tiebreaker it is they're chasing on Ios this move from W I thought for a second
it was going to work wonders the double CS pushing across the building Kono is
dead but honestly Mafia had the largest percentile of their team there as well the
Forge B also pretty good for this engagement because I think he delivered
all six shells in that regard so I was a bit worried you know the average is out of
the fight E4 is out of the fight but I think that Orchek may have hit some
shots nonetheless, but using that position there on the 7 line behind really shut down
the low HPs under, right?
And the fact as well, yeah the Fosh B coming through the 0 line and the fact as well that
I think Mafia they just had one gun too much on that side.
If they don't then I think W stand a very good chance of winning because then they
bite off exactly how much they can chew, but here it was just that little bit too much HP.
Like, I'm not even talking about an entire tank, maybe half a tank too much.
I mean, I think Mafia, you know, they had just the right amount of thanks to deal with this.
And that's also a skill set. They may not have made it work on the first person, but the second person will be theirs.
they're playing it safe. It will be Sand River as our final map with obviously W picking the site.
Yeah I mean that goes down around was quicky-dee-quick. One minute and 27 seconds.
Yeah, Cliff once again if you're wondering what he's doing he's not really trying to
annoy the enemy team. He's just you know trying to give a lot of time to his team just to be able to
Calm down a little bit and yeah prepare for what's to come and that's going to be a
Bess of one between the two best teams in these playoffs without doubt
it's gonna be tiebreaker between mafia and
W and the wheels with every single map being split one-to-one on the way here
deserved
Yeah, I would not say that I saw a team that deserved to win it all so far.
I don't think I would say that.
Obviously both of them have gambled coming here.
I'm thinking back to all the way at the start of the match,
if you think about that cliff round with, I think, 36 damage between the two of them.
Yeah, but it was so early, you don't know how that would affect the rest of the match.
Yeah.
So I guess good for us that it went this way because we're going to get the absolute maximum amount out of this match here
Yeah, so
Well, well, well
Well, well, well it all comes down to this at the very very end one round
To decide who gets to be the victory w for the fourth time or mafia for the second
That's going to be the question. As we know, W have the fastest round on Goat Town and they are picking West on Sand River. I don't think that's a particularly large surprise.
No, I don't think it's really a surprise at all to be honest. I don't think that you can say that there's anything but I think even Mafia knew already from the beginning.
True.
Obviously either team didn't know that they would have the fastest or not the fastest round, but I think Mafia would have also picked left.
So I guess W started into the match with the advantage of being able to pick ban the first map, and now they start into the tiebreaker with the advantage of being able to pick the side.
the side. Is that enough to carry them over the finish line or is or are Mafia able to
break that match streak from W that they have in the OLS playoffs? Once again, here the predictions,
I guess the only one that can still be correct is Ian, who probably is wearing underpants right
now in the colors of red and white. I mean, the question is, is he everything banter if he gets
That's a right.
I don't have the predictions of...
Actually, he would tie with Banter.
He would tie with Banter. Okay.
Well, let's see.
Of course, here the time that is given to the teams is going to be that tiny little bit longer than it would be between the usual rounds.
because of course all of the games, all of the matches, all the preparation that the teams have done
in the past weeks and months leading up to this, it's all going to boil down to the single-around
on Sand River. The AMD OLS6 title is going to get decided right here, right now in between W and Mafia.
So, do you want to stick to your prediction, Keand?
I mean, I said 6-4-W. I'm going to stick with the W prediction, but we'll have to see.
I mean, SDRV being banned by Mafia, that's not a big surprise.
The travest going out the window for W. So, Mafia are going to start with a BZ,
an MEY, a W50M, double K91, and an RHM.
In return W, no lights, triple through to the UCS, E50M, I7, BZ.
When it comes down to the very end, they end up playing without the light. Will that be the right choice?
How many does Kono spot in the beginning?
Or does he opt to use the plane?
Another question he does.
he sees four that means replaying available as well he sees the 430 use
go in towards the cap as Piot with that BZ75 is probably contemplating the
Infotower Ios driving to the north with that hurricane get spotted but doesn't
take damage for it and Piot reset with HE but did it get reset but he cheated
triple for 3U does make it to the cap there's a singular movie for Mafia in
the south the hurricane is running away in the north from Ios and that's a wise
already they're abandoning this cap of them they're moving back towards the
south side the W50M will push through will be spotted by IOS as well probably
will take a shot from Piotr yeah he does end up hitting that one but they're
continuing through with the W50M taking some map control the question is how
do these for 30 years play it out because right now they're crossing back
towards 1-2-1 but Kornos spots Nepal gets a little bit of info he knows where
you want to go. Nepal has a medkit that is good for him otherwise he would have
been playing without a gunner for the rest of the game and on mark the bark is
and Rex are are gonna be turning tails because they see those 430 use and one
for one the engagement normally gets won by the 430 you especially in places
where you can go hold on I was already gonna leave the north repush for the
side of W however italks in a different position has taken some damage there is
a very aggressive move by Conrad, however, who has established control over the ground
and it's going to get punished by Eios as Nipal gets spotted by Rexha.
Now Barkas is going to rain down hell on towards this hurricane.
Ooh, who bounces a shot onto Rexha.
Good shot from Conrad from the back lines, another shot coming in from Barkas now, more
damage coming out than W. Trying to force the issue here upon this part and Rexha kind
of lording over, lacking a little bit of support, do they keep going from W's side?
I think it would be a round loser almost if they do keep committing and Wrexler needs to be careful
because Piotr is still looking his way ends up taking a shot for that a little bit unaware there from Piotr's angle
Can they find more damage though? Wrexler taking a mini strike
That's from Ios Nepal now said him to push up probably wants to take the 1v1
Conrad's force behind his rock and Piotr is actually pushing forward
I'm not sure about that one Piotr in the BC 75 Conrad's gonna give you a shot as well
He's dead Piotr down the experience does not help him to survive
He does not make it to the rock and now the second E50m starting to move down from the a line
Ios moving in as well on towards Nepal. Yuzak is dead in the south though
We did miss that for a second Yuzak has fallen all together W is down on HP
But it doesn't seem to matter that much for him
They have found the maybe they came anyone there on the run as well Rex are dead also and this E50m needs some help
But there is mafia coming back in from the middle of the map Ios Nepal
trying to hide here behind the rock as mafia tries to sweep in a big strike
comes in big strike coming in making the 430 into a one-shot looking coming in
from the side trying to shield and crossfire against Barq is but Conrad is
there with that BZ does he have any boosts left doubtful as Ios actually able
to dodge the mini strike as looking takes a lot of damage from Barq is as
well but prefers 2600 HP they're shutting down looking and they're going to net
This little pocket of W tanks. Yes, they will get one more kill in retaliation
But no HP left on those double mediums and now attention shifts over towards other parts of the maps where Orzhek
Might have overstayed his welcome a little bit because Eidtoks with the 430U this engagement
He might actually win against the K91. Does he get the damage on towards it?
It is the question all bounds by Klerv, but Eidtoks doesn't miss those and he does not get penned
But still Kono able to take that artillery strike Mentos with the IS-7 as well able to do that
And now it's all gonna be down to mind games and engagements as Kono
He has the arty strike, but he decides to hold on to it
He's going to have straight behind Mentos actually and Orchak is gonna get pushed by italks
Orchak should do too soon
But we want zero shots actually gonna get run today. No actually will get one potentially or check
No, he's actually not going to get one, so Aitok's very clean kill there altogether, super, super clean.
And in the meantime, Kono just sneaking through in that IHM, moving towards Kloerf.
Oh yeah, he knows Kloerf is there. Kono wants it, knows that he can get it, probably will go for it.
Kloerf probably intubation did she as well, and Kono looking for it, wants to go up and over,
but doesn't want to commit either, doesn't want to make a bad play, he's waiting,
he's going to have to go at some point and he has picked his moment, he misses on the first,
He goes over, he takes one from the IS-7, Kono getting strike now as well, needs to pick up the kill.
He does get it, but he dies for it! He actually dies, Kono with the misplay, profuse, spots on Mentos.
This is not over.
This is far from over as Mentos with that IS-7. He is going to establish priority once again
over the crown. Doesn't have any weak spots in the turret.
The IS-7, it hasn't had weak spots on the turret for 15 years and time and time again.
it does ring through as italks goes rather close towards prefuse to try and push him out Conrad from the sideline
He is actually the target of opportunity here for W that are probably waiting until this artillery strike comes back online
And then oh they now do spot out Conrad as prefuse coming through the back lines
He probably wants to get a reset here on the cap. It doesn't get it Conrad a
Bounce comes out from him and now prefuse going close actually
but italks with their 430, contemplating the push on towards Konrad isn't going to happen as Mentos comes through on to Prefus,
does track him and this means that italks sees the window of opportunity to go on towards Konrad.
He does get double tracked though, gets held and now Prefus is going to commit in, oh single shot, another one to finish off italks.
But first of all, it's going to be the BZ to die on now Mentos and Prefus, the two team captains slash callers.
It is going to be the one-to-one, but Prefus, he has the DPN.
I mean, Mentos does get the good track-shot profuse, though, with that heat, with that K9E1,
is able to pen through the frontal plate of the IS7 needs one more.
We'll get it as well.
And even with Kono making it close, it will be Mafia to be the A&D
All-Star Legends Series Season 6 champions.
That was closer than it had to be at the very end.
Kono, a phenomenal lifetime player, but there, there he made a mess of it.
I mean, he made a mess of it, but the rest of the team was like,
we got you, homie, don't worry about it.
And they bring it over the finish line.
They break W's up a breath of W's win streak in the playoffs,
and they reward themselves with their second ever OLS victory.
Profuse, the team captain himself is going to be on top of the team
on the scoreboard and on top of the world as they crown themselves
the champions of Europe.
Yeah, phenomenal stuff there for Mafia, ends up winning the match.
So we missed half of the game.
While we were watching the North, we missed the other half of what was happening in the South.
The media views that got trampled in the South, but...
Mentals is 5-2, get damaged by the MDI7, tremendous stuff, but...
Gelter pushes through the rock, they're repushing the North, and they're dying for this.
They lost the game on the North, all together.
I'm not entirely sure. The move with that BZ through the middle...
Maybe it was timed incorrectly, maybe the call was a bad one, but in any case,
it kind of really opened up the game in the North for Mafia,
by an unforced play from W, that really didn't matter,
because realistically, if you think about it, W, they were winning the other side by over-pushing music.
And the fact that Piotr gives up the crossfire and punish positions that could be used to protect his own medium tanks that I don't know why they by the way went so far.
But if W just keep their calm and hold their cool in in that part of the map, I think they win on the other part.
And then from there on out there up a gun and well the RHM doesn't have the greatest damage potential.
So yeah, congratulations, regardless, it takes one team to make a small mistake and it takes
the other one to grasp this and Mafia, yes, they lose the upper bracket finals, 5-1.
But then, this comes to show, you don't need the greatest season to win, you know?
Like Mafia, this season, honestly, nothing special, like really, throughout the regular
season, nothing too special.
They ended up third, but you wouldn't be like, well, this team is doing fantastic, you know?
sure they were only if there were eight points behind w and three behind hit and
run but they did not have a flashy season well it might not have been a flashy
season but the number on screen right now is certainly very flashy almost 53
thousand is the combined price pool and you can see placement for first here
actually over 12,000 euros that is what the team of mafia reward themselves with
4 is single lost round victory. That is time well spent.
For sure. I mean, nonetheless it's a phenomenal victory for them. At the very
very end they end up winning it. They had to bring it back to tiebreaker to win
it out. We had that incredibly close round on Cliff which will probably be the
closest round in Ola's history for a long time, to be honest, and you know, they ended up winning it, then at the end of the day it deserved.
Yes, especially this last round here, quite the difference maker, some unforced errors, then again some really good plays as well from that team of Mafia that are now going to succeed, I guess, as the champions once again, one more victory for them and they'll get another
shiny badge next to their name as well but that is for them and for now i think uh they are left to
kind of enjoy the moment yeah the enjoying the moment key plus ducky well yeah we both ended
at 47 you know i mean the fill didn't do that much better he's at 48 you know he probably went
through the whole score bay we probably all how does bounty get a crown when he has the same points
is Ian. You got to ask Pildup to be honest. But yeah, I guess, Ducky, how does it feel
to have the same kind of points as a former prediction game winner?
Oh, you didn't see that one coming up. I've won that before as well. I mean, it feels
good as all that I can say. Really? I told you from the beginning of the scene, I made a few
like you know off-the-money predictions here you know this like even in the playoffs I vote a mafia
the upper bracket I didn't work now it's okay I can live with it can you? Oh absolutely I'm not
going to be losing any sleep over this. I mean I'd say hopefully won't lose any hair in the case.
I think I'm okay looking at my family as well regarding that but first of all of course if you
have been not registering with the announcement here on screen of course this is not going to be
the last OLS ever far from it in August we'll have the next onslaught legends cup by the way I
don't think we've talked a whole lot about that but yeah next OLS is going to be in September,
October it'll be season 7 as well but before all of that we'll have the onslaught summer arena with the playoffs on the
11th and the 12th of July some mark your calendars and if
Competitive 77 world attacks is anything you like then the dates on screen are probably gonna be important to you for sure
That is there's a lot of onslaught action still coming your way to keep you busy for the
for the summer. It's not on OLS, but it makes you wonder how the teams will stack up and it doesn't mean the tournaments are not important.
Of course, the drops are still running. You have until, what is it, 1am CST to collect those to get your final tokens to get a chance for the KPC or the 252.
Also, Keyhand, the token store itself is open until what date again?
I think just about a week after this so probably the sixth or the seventh talking about the token store today is the last day where you can earn some of those
70 together and you will be able to get an E 75 TS and by the way if you have for example
65 tokens after today if you buy the trio bundle which is still available until tomorrow morning in that one
There is a mission with which you can earn those last additional
5 tokens talking about the trio bundle. What is that? Well, it has all the styles of this season last season and the season before that
So the complete bundle with red blue and green some call it the RGB bundle as well
But yeah, if you want to buy one of these bundles feel free 200% of the proceedings are obviously gonna go into the price pool
And there is one more little topic regarding the drops
of course, if you haven't been able to claim all of those yet, then we are going to be
raiding the man right to my side here, Mr. Dekilzor himself on his own Twitch channel,
Twitch.tv slash Dekilzor, and there you'll be able to claim all of those that being said and
done, of course, as it is the end of the season. It is my honor, my duty, and also my pleasure to
thank all of the people that joined us here on the streams and watched without you,
whatever we are doing here wouldn't make any sense then again of course the big thank you to the
casters external Banta Ian Ducky Phil and all of the people behind the camera because we uh our
job it it's our job to sit here and smile into the camera whatever happens even if something goes
wrong but the people behind the camera are the ones that actually make the magic happen and with
all of that thank you very much from my side as well it was uh as always a pleasure to cast with
you Daki and customarily the last words go to you. Yeah it was such a big moment you know final
words I don't have much to say it was a great season a great victory for mafia as well it shows
us that in the future there's much to be had still a much to be seen thank you guys for watching
at home as well from my side I hope you guys enjoyed the commentary on that part and I am
actually looking very much forward to see if the Chinese teams in the USA could put up some fight
because there we will have the mythical clash between Baby and his former teammates W,
Candy once European superstar, take down his former teammates.
That is what the onslaught arena will provide. We will see you then,
hopefully, but for today and tonight. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend and see you guys on the next one.
you
