98s	hello and welcome back to Alliance
100s	tournament 20 I am CCP overload I am
102s	joined by mystical might and black Bart
105s	pirate for another day of spaceship
107s	explosions we've already seen 14 teams
109s	be eliminated uh last weekend we saw
111s	some excellent matches we saw uh frity
114s	dropping the first match and going into
116s	the losers bracket we saw Exodus being
118s	eliminated we saw tempas C being
120s	eliminated rather unexpectedly we saw a
122s	couple of upsets with uh flagships worth
124s	hundreds of billions being destroyed and
127s	we have more of that for you today as
129s	well we have so much explosions mystical
131s	might how was your how was last weekend
133s	oh it was exciting stuff I think that we
135s	had some really exciting matches I know
137s	that probably the fan favorite for us at
139s	least behind the desk is the white
140s	squall versus genin impact match simply
142s	because it was such a meme um still
145s	disappointed that it didn't happen a
146s	second time I do remember you Mr de
148s	compiler but yeah no I I'm looking
150s	forward to some really good matches
151s	again today awesome well I mean we may
153s	as well start strong our first match is
155s	going to be evasive maneuvering versus
156s	Brave collective in just a couple of
158s	minutes so let's take a look at the bans
159s	for
162s	that all right evasive maneuvering
164s	Banning out the Armageddon Navy issue uh
166s	the Loki the Squall and the Deacon
169s	meanwhile Brave Collective baning out
170s	the Jack doot the mollus the crucifer
172s	and the Cyclone Fleet blackb pirate your
174s	thoughts on these bands hey we we have a
176s	squad band we have a Squall band it's
178s	the first Squall band um I think in the
180s	f we predicted they would be amazing
181s	ships uh we've seen them do okay uh
184s	other than that I mean you know Brave
186s	brought an armagedon nav isuk comp
187s	maneuvering has banned that out uh Loki
190s	Squall Deacon all very solid um Deacon's
193s	very very very very powerful uh one of
195s	the most picked ships of the tournament
197s	uh Brave is uh getting rid of a lot of
199s	the sort of small little uh ewar type
202s	ships so you know mollus and crucifier
204s	pretty big deal Cyclone feed issue I
205s	think we uh saw that get used a bunch
208s	successfully by them as well so these
209s	teams definitely spent the last week
211s	looking at each other preparing
213s	hopefully they're going to be uh able to
215s	beat each other I me I better see some
218s	flagships both these teams have their
220s	flagships available there's a lasack and
221s	a balar are the flagship choices for
223s	these two teams uh I mean we are in the
225s	elimination bracket right now so uh if
228s	you lose you're are done you're exiting
229s	the tournament so this is where you want
231s	to play for everything like you want to
233s	really just throw everything in and see
234s	if you can take that W and go further
236s	into the tournament uh let's hand over
238s	to the arena though and see if Brave Ive
240s	can take this
246s	win ladies and gentlemen welcome to the
248s	arena for the first match of the day I'm
250s	Star come on here with Wingnut I think
253s	on grid right now we've got a vasive
255s	maneuvering versus Brave Collective what
257s	have evasive maneuvering brought the
258s	moment I'm looking things up it looks
260s	like evasive maneuvering has brought a
262s	drone control comp looks of it that way
265s	and also Brave Collective uh have bought
268s	is that a flag B I don't believe so I
270s	Haven haven't seen the word flag B show
272s	up anyway so I think it's just a regular
273s	Bal gor but this match is defin is going
275s	to be on the way in second here
277s	interesting with the drones from evasive
280s	maneuvering with fafy the captain lots
282s	of really good pilots on grid right now
284s	booko on the brave side in so we're
287s	going to have to see how the positioning
289s	I think is going to work on this match
290s	definitely having Armageddon with a
292s	drone control cup I do love a Armageddon
293s	they're usually pretty good yeah but
295s	it's going to be interesting see how
296s	much damage I actually have cuz you got
297s	what two two eos's Armageddon drones
300s	maybe some Vex of drones they're going
302s	to be pretty thin in the damage
303s	department but the control bar is just
305s	fully maxed out yeah Brave Collective
307s	with the Bor as well help get pushing
310s	their control bar but as you said the
311s	vase maneuvering control bar definitely
313s	much bigger than brave but I feel like
315s	the balon's going to push push out a bit
318s	and try and catch a couple of things
319s	here the thing it's not it's not a flag
320s	bar it's a regular everyday balone yeah
322s	I haven't I haven't said anything Al
324s	unless they popping up I think that if
326s	they've got a flag it's dead if I
327s	remember correctly yeah I believe I
329s	believe never mind it is there we go we
331s	talking about shows up flag B fair
334s	enough that changes everything it's a
335s	flag bar that zone of control you're
336s	talking about much bigger than I was
338s	expecting so flag B on for bra
340s	Collective that is going to be a huge
341s	advantage of super super scary for the
344s	vase moving TI side webs are definitely
347s	going to be locking down some probably
348s	the EOS is I reckon not the Armageddon
351s	18 seconds on the clock till the match
353s	starts um yeah this one is going to be a
356s	yeah an interesting an interesting match
358s	a lot of control on both sides for sure
360s	a lot of potential for control as well
361s	that flag bar really does make this
363s	match a lot more tight for evasive
366s	maneuvering yeah I think for evasive
368s	maneuvering they definitely need to
369s	probably go and get some the inquisitors
370s	down all the arbitrators luckily enough
372s	the arbitrators shouldn't be doing that
374s	much work for the brave side because of
376s	the drones yes and no cuz you can
377s	tracking theup drones you can you I mean
381s	hey your arbitr is going to do something
383s	right he's got to pretend to be useful
385s	if you feel like it as the two teams
386s	slowly approaching each other actually
388s	the Bal gone going out and faffy waffy
389s	in the EOS uh getting a bit too far out
392s	there I think he might be he charging in
395s	question mark or is he just trying to
396s	get into drone control drop drones and
397s	then run away yeah looks like we've got
399s	some uh just um what we have some
402s	Valkyries out at the moment yep there's
403s	his drones out and he's mely turning and
404s	running there we go so faf he's now
406s	turning and trying to leave like I think
408s	for the where put the drones on let's
410s	see where did he where did these drones
412s	go I feel like what Brave need to do is
414s	just get some webs and just lock down
415s	something and get get some kills early
417s	on okay you trying to put drones in The
418s	Inquisitor but you can already see also
420s	these counter drones and actually some
422s	Dr being shot so he's going to try and
424s	get get Inquisitor before his drones die
425s	but they're probably going to die too
426s	quickly a defanging is definitely an
428s	option for brave right now I think that
430s	could be a good option it's can be a bit
432s	timec consuming a bit of damage coming
433s	down on The Inquisitor right now I think
435s	probably a good idea for V maning to
437s	just go for the inquisitors their T1
438s	logi frigs if they can get the
440s	application they'll definitely get them
441s	down exactly that once once they got rid
442s	of the logi it's just a slow grindfest
445s	Brave knows that they've only already
446s	got damage drones to come at them so if
448s	you just keep killing them at some point
449s	they will run out yeah it's not the most
450s	entertaining of matches but it will do
452s	the job and for the other side we got
454s	Brave colletive going for again B
456s	scrammed Bon is scrammed okay hold on
459s	fafy in the Eos side no no no no no no
461s	no I'm not going to run away I'm going
462s	to go for that Bal gun and tackle it
463s	down so and now we see a swarm of drones
466s	looks like heading for the balone from a
468s	m mov team maybe they're going to go for
470s	the flag K straight away oh my that
472s	that's such a big ask at the start of
473s	this match the first match of the day no
476s	way come on absolute swarm of ogres and
479s	warriors hob Robbins all the drones on
481s	the grid going for the Bal gone if they
482s	get that down that is huge that's going
484s	to be massive that's going to be I'm
485s	watching that surely it can like with
487s	it's own rep and they already shown the
489s	kill drones as well surely you can tank
492s	it's tech one inquisitors it it it can
494s	probably it stop sh any self reps you
496s	know yeah definitely I mean the Balor is
498s	going to be very heavily tanked with
500s	obviously hopefully an officer web or of
501s	some kind just to get the projection out
503s	there but right now better have an offic
504s	a web otherwise why' you bring the bow
505s	in the first place but I'm not seeing
507s	any webs coming out from Brave right now
509s	yeah I've celus is is not I don't see
512s	any damps or anything I just we just
513s	need a scram unless the unless the what
516s	we're seeing is not right exactly yeah
518s	well there's a scram back on the EOS so
519s	it seems to be functioning correctly it
521s	just means that brave isn't doing it
523s	question mark a quick switch to the
524s	inquistor as well right now and it's
526s	about about to go down with well about
529s	to go I say that and fafu actually now
531s	taking a bit of damage from Brave
532s	Collective if they get the quis down
534s	that's going to be a huge that's the
536s	first thing to get things started okay
537s	Inquisitor down they're going to go for
538s	the second one straight after I the BET
540s	yeah definitely get the second coer down
542s	and maybe start working on the molders
544s	or the ders or you could just go for the
545s	B gun if you wanted to droger arbitrator
548s	the malls are pretty tanky just start
549s	picking stuff off they could go for the
551s	B but that's such a big ass but then
552s	again they're not being pressured no not
554s	right now and the second inis goes down
556s	so invas Maneuvers in a massive lead
557s	fafy rafay leading the charge scramming
560s	the bow gun scramming a flag bow at
562s	Point Blank and just going me and then
564s	and going for the moulders now which is
566s	a good shout probably checking where the
567s	drones are seeing what's close draer
569s	taking bit of dam
570s	and that thing is quite nasty can do a
571s	lot of damage especially when it's spoed
573s	up and will start to really uh put an
576s	impact on vas maneuvering but right now
578s	aing got their thur they're kind of
580s	chilling they've got their entire comp
581s	ready Brave in a bit of AIT next Target
584s	that's a good Target for sure drag going
585s	go down pretty quick and yeah they're
587s	killing off the damage of this comp
588s	pretty well now I think if Brave want to
590s	try and get something down they just
591s	need to get some thers down I don't I
593s	don't think they can break Val or V or
596s	just something small you're not going to
597s	be win trying to brw down the big guys
599s	but they're not even showing that
600s	they're doing that much the damage look
601s	at the damage bar it's minuscule it's
603s	very much like they're being locked down
604s	and the application isn't coming through
606s	scram on thear here and the mall they
607s	right now um I think Brave they need to
609s	go for the thallia or try and get a py
611s	down like I just don't feel like with
613s	the draw gone there a lot of DPS gone uh
615s	they're going to struggle here and about
618s	to go down okay they're starting to
619s	pressure through the EOS but I'm just
620s	trying to go figure out they've got a
621s	flag bar it's got noes and it's probably
624s	not you know they can't be bling but
626s	they've got them they've got a web why
627s	they not seeing it why not webbed
629s	anything just to make it a little bit
631s	easier to apply like what's what's going
632s	on here what have I missed I'm not
634s	really too sure why we're not seeing a
635s	web at the moment uh the Balor does have
637s	guns and it will have guns and NES as
639s	well um just to make use of the of of
641s	some damage and some NES as well but
643s	obviously like you said the main thing
644s	is the web yeah where is it that's
646s	that's that's where is it I I feel like
648s	I'm going crazy here surely the UI is
650s	not broken it's just they're not using
651s	it I assume but the control bar is
653s	absolutely gargant but I don't see where
655s	the controls going I I think I think the
657s	UA might be buggered I think yeah I'm
659s	I'm seeing some effects coming out right
661s	now and there's NES on GRE things bugger
663s	yeah okay fair enough yep okay I think
665s	we are I'm assuming the Balon is
666s	completely completely damped by this
668s	lesis and there probably Webb something
671s	obviously a Pandy in armagan at zero
673s	velocity right now arbitrator in L in
675s	going to structure sorry about to go
677s	down so I mean this is a takeaway for
679s	AAS maning well really well piloted
681s	actually oh yeah I did not expect they
683s	had the DPS to do it but they picked off
684s	the weak points two inquisitors tick one
686s	lodgy easy to frag and then start
688s	picking the team apart I mean fafy wfy
691s	seasoned captain of Alliance tourament
693s	has and most of his players as well P
695s	Pandy scar killer um really good Pilots
698s	Brave Collective I mean they just didn't
700s	really break through anything they
701s	didn't really they seem like they were
703s	trying to break through anything I
704s	didn't really see them trying to punch a
706s	hole they had more damage theoretically
707s	with the aard Absolution and B Gone
709s	together with officer guns in the bow
711s	able to break things you know but they
712s	didn't really I think yeah I think they
715s	they do have a bit of an advantage on
716s	the damage but I think they just weren't
718s	applying anything I think honestly the
719s	The Sentinel arbitrator definitely would
721s	have ruined it for them yeah we just
723s	didn't really tell cuz again the UI for
724s	us good way of seeing information and
726s	also this thing on so Sentinel and
729s	arbitrator on and the celestus on the
732s	vas Ming side doing a massive work for
734s	Dam second arbitrator goes down for
735s	brave and also those TDS most likely as
738s	you said on the St in Absolution
740s	absolutely just ruining their tracking
741s	triple scram now across all the major
743s	ships on Brave Collective uh looks like
745s	they're going to try and maybe get this
747s	Bal gor down they got three and a half
749s	minutes to try I think so good idea get
750s	the B gun down first and then loot it
753s	the game doesn't it finish so don't get
755s	moved out don't miss out the opportunity
756s	to get some nice little faction someone
758s	actually that happened last week didn't
760s	that someone actually couldn't get the
760s	loot or was it they got pretty close I
762s	think everyone so far has gotten the
764s	loot I think but some teams uh they
766s	leave it to last and depending if the
768s	game's really towards the end they'll
770s	just move you out immediately and you
771s	have to SP clicking the loop button
773s	looks like they are going for the uh the
775s	bow gone at the moment in half armor or
777s	approaching half armor um I mean bra I
780s	feel I feel they could have they could
781s	have had a chance in this match I think
783s	that if they maybe went for we didn't
786s	really see much damage going to the Thia
787s	only really landed on the EOS and arm
789s	again but maybe if they went for the
790s	lower end definitely hard one for sure
792s	cuz they were definitely being like uber
794s	controlled like with the celest Sentinel
796s	in arbitrary just constantly hurting
797s	them but they didn't reume they tried to
799s	do much beyond that like I don't think
801s	the St Absolution were tackled at the
802s	start so they had a bit of free reign to
804s	move around if need be and they just
805s	didn't really bother I think the only
807s	thing we're seeing on here is is scrams
809s	on the screen of in front of you so
810s	probably everything else is being missed
811s	out so you're are seeing reps on the
813s	screen in front of you and some NES
814s	coming out as well um anding about to go
818s	down the Bal on should be a shiny kill
820s	hopefully we do love expensive flagships
823s	hopefully it's not a cheapo flag we're
824s	going to get someone over on the desk
825s	start like reading about cheap Bor the
828s	more expensive the flag the better the
830s	more likely you are to win I think maybe
833s	not actually considering well should be
835s	a good flag kill I think um
837s	unfortunately for brave this is going to
838s	be the end of the for them yeah and
840s	losing a flag while on theend run is
842s	never fun but hey they went pretty damn
844s	far in this I did yeah I think some
846s	people expect Brave wouldn't get this
848s	far but they've managed to kick scratch
849s	and bite their way back in Brave
851s	performing really well this Sol they
853s	always kind of do they're always that
854s	low end the low end of the good teams
856s	and I mean that in the nicest way
857s	possible and the flag goes down quickly
860s	go to Zill refresh the page see what
862s	that's like see I'm s the analyst will
864s	check it out see what's going on we can
865s	talk about that later um Evas moving
867s	going to move on in losers bracket which
869s	is looking to be a difficult losers
871s	bracket the losers bracket is full of
873s	good teams actually it's very scary this
875s	year there's not really many bad teams
877s	left it's just like
878s	absolute and including like Brave being
881s	here as you said performing really well
883s	this tournament and getting this far
884s	good fights going up in locer right now
886s	uh a lot of yeah lot of nice words going
888s	across lots of good lucks for the team
890s	of a maneuvering from Brave Collective
891s	there some good sportsmanship here
893s	always yeah bra's always been good
894s	sports that's the best thing about right
896s	but a fantastic showing for brave this
898s	tournament uh you know
900s	final weekend they played against vter
902s	uh they played against who else they
904s	play against renan I think uh I don't
906s	remember anymore to be honest mate that
907s	was a week ago that was like seven days
909s	too much for me remember and also Bas
910s	maneuvering you know a strong team and
913s	actually like you know they get we got
914s	55 seconds left on the timer so
916s	surviving the whole game near enough
918s	with some ships left they they won't get
920s	through everything the m is about to go
922s	is going to low armor I think but really
924s	good from then to keep keep playing keep
926s	going through but basing going to be
928s	moving forward
930s	faf wfy running it for the losers
931s	bracket they're going they've got
932s	Fraternity in the losers bracket we've
934s	got vter in the losers bracket we got
935s	Ron in the losers bracket I think a
937s	raler in the losers bracket we've got a
939s	lot of teams of lot of good teams like
942s	strong teams which which is where the
943s	cool I think the best fight is going to
945s	be oh yeah and hly big respect to
947s	invasive here as well for getting this
948s	win without a single loss that's kind of
950s	definition of control comps if they're
951s	flown well and against the right comps
953s	you can go 100 to Zer or this case 200
955s	to Zer repeatedly but they're going to
957s	get 200 to Z they're only going to get
958s	about 150
960s	big respect to evasive big respect to
961s	Brave definitely and with the clock
964s	counting down 5 seconds left four 3 2 1
967s	and congratulations to vasive
970s	maneuvering for moving forward into the
971s	lose bracket and keep going out onto the
974s	win um and with that we'll send it back
976s	to the desk after this break

1068s	the bti show bti I'll start with b how
1070s	are you today oh I'm doing I'm doing so
1072s	good today I love the bti show me too
1075s	it's one of my favorite things that we
1076s	do here at CC CCB Games headquarters is
1078s	the bti show this is the the main
1080s	filming location of the bti show uh
1082s	we're very lucky to have both B and isty
1085s	with us today uh isty please break down
1087s	what happened in that last match between
1089s	uh Brave Collective they they obviously
1090s	lost their Flagship which was you know
1092s	70 to those guys drones drones yeah
1095s	drones uh yeah sadly I was saying when
1098s	we were watching the match that I
1099s	thought Brave had a chance to win but it
1101s	really depended on whether they were
1102s	using their Bor as a utility ship so
1105s	just fitting some long-range webs but
1106s	also fitting some smart bombs as well um
1108s	there were some new smart bombs that
1109s	were released into the game recently
1111s	with some of the changes that were made
1113s	to zazac um so there's like a medium
1115s	smart bomb which has reduced fitting uh
1118s	reduced capacity use but still does
1119s	decent amount of damage but it's Omni so
1121s	potentially was expecting to see some of
1123s	those on the ship as well it didn't seem
1126s	like the Balor was using smart bombs at
1127s	least we couldn't tell from the desk um
1129s	but essentially the evasive maneuvering
1131s	team was just able to sit really far
1133s	back um they Ed the oses to control the
1135s	Balor and some of the the um command
1137s	ships on the other side
1139s	um and it just meant that brave were
1141s	stuck sitting there doing nothing for
1143s	the majority of the match I do think
1145s	Brave should have began to shoot sooner
1148s	um it took a while for them to start
1149s	actually getting their damage out it
1150s	seems like they went for the Armageddon
1152s	at the very beginning which was probably
1154s	a mistake especially when EOS was
1157s	burning in there were only two thall on
1158s	the other side so I think it would have
1160s	been really easy for them to control the
1161s	two thalers um reduce their ability to
1164s	actually remote rep and then start
1165s	clearing away either going through the
1167s	thalers first or going through is so um
1170s	a bit of indecision it seems from Brave
1172s	that led to their ultimate device yeah
1174s	and I just looked at the the kill Mill
1176s	for uh the the flagship Balor from Brave
1179s	Collective uh it's about 20 billion uh
1181s	is is respectable has a pretty nice
1182s	damage control but I really feel like uh
1184s	they've got a dark blood status this web
1186s	before far but I feel like that's really
1188s	where you want to pimp a flagship Balor
1190s	I uh I have a theory I think that brave
1193s	are cowards and I think that they were
1195s	like cuz uh somebody who we may or may
1198s	not see later today was talking them up
1200s	and like oh our flagships very expensive
1202s	much more than 50 billion uh clearly
1205s	it's not I think that they might have
1206s	pulled the good stasis web of Fire and
1209s	Put a dark blood one on because they
1210s	were scared of losing wow and maybe
1213s	that's part of what led to their
1214s	ultimate demise maybe if they'd put that
1215s	on they would have won uh well I guess
1217s	we'll never know all right let's uh take
1219s	a look at our next match for the day
1221s	it's going to be arrival versus
1222s	fraternity this is going to be an
1223s	exciting one because uh arriv rival very
1225s	solid team they lost their Flagship
1227s	varer this is also an elimination match
1229s	and they're going up against last year's
1230s	defending Champions fraternity now
1232s	fraternity stumbled in that Opening
1233s	match of the tournament uh IST and um uh
1237s	got knocked down by till doomsday but
1238s	since then they've been pretty you
1241s	composed what do you what's your
1242s	predictions for this match I'm expecting
1244s	an EOS band cuz HEC drones I'm expecting
1248s	HEC drones um I I think I was looking at
1250s	the band strategies for both teams
1251s	before arrival since they were using the
1253s	flagship Fara quite a bit had been
1255s	removing the tracking disruptors um that
1257s	we typically see in the tournament but
1259s	as they have lost their Flagship Vaga
1261s	they're going to have to start using
1262s	something different so it's really hard
1264s	to predict what they're going to switch
1265s	to whether they're going to carry on
1266s	using uh medium gun spam and just
1270s	replace the Vaga with something else or
1271s	whether they actually have other comps
1272s	that they were planning to use once the
1274s	Vaga died I don't know if you really
1275s	plan to lose your varaga but win the win
1278s	your match so we'll see how they've
1280s	adapted and adjusted to to that um
1283s	happening but I think frats generally a
1285s	bit more flexible with the band so let's
1287s	take a look at the bands actually cuz we
1288s	only have a few minutes before the match
1289s	so uh arrival banning at the hyena
1291s	pontif effect Magus and bifrost so a lot
1294s	of uh Commander D links taken off the
1295s	field there and of course the longrange
1297s	webs with the hyena fraternity Banning
1299s	out the EOS because G drones ishar slep
1302s	and Loki uh B any any quick thoughts on
1305s	these bands yeah I'm uh I was kind of
1307s	hoping to see a fraternity B varer ban
1310s	just to be like yeah you know you're not
1311s	bringing it so um arrival actually uh
1314s	has their same comp still just you know
1316s	without a flag vargar obviously as it
1318s	died so we could see arrival just run it
1319s	back uh you know maybe third times a
1321s	charm here um the uh arrival ban you
1324s	know taking out all those uh command
1325s	Destroyer links really does set this up
1326s	for like this is really looking like a
1329s	medium gun spam setup to me uh because
1331s	the EOS is gone so you're kind of just
1333s	you know that's when you're being like a
1334s	stard a uh absolutions things like that
1337s	um it does look
1339s	like yes fraternity are bringing their
1341s	Flagship Armageddon Navy issue I have a
1343s	little screen here that tells me stuff
1344s	about flagships and right now it's
1345s	saying they're bringing it which is
1347s	super nice um so this is going to be
1349s	well this is a must-win obviously for
1350s	these teams we talked about iter on we
1351s	are in elimination uh brackets at this
1354s	point these teams aren't confirmed
1356s	shiing drawers as far as I understand I
1358s	think they're still outside the top 16
1361s	uh I know we've had 14 teams eliminated
1362s	last week Brave with the 15th team
1364s	technically this is the last of that
1366s	particular round in the lore bracket um
1368s	looking at the the brackets yeah so
1370s	we're still in losers round two so I
1372s	believe uh you lose here not only are
1374s	you out you don't get any ships which is
1376s	uh pretty pretty big sagge all right
1377s	let's hand it over to the arena for this
1380s	match let's go
1383s	now welcome to the arena guys I'm of
1385s	course Winger joined by sfc and we have
1387s	the last year's winners in the loose
1389s	brackets from the first match and they'
1391s	decide you know what we are going all in
1392s	and they are bringing a flag gon Navy
1395s	yeah a rival as well bringing a little
1397s	kitey comp a little kitey comps little
1399s	schools obviously Osprey Navy issues
1402s	carac Navy C Navy D semi Fleet cyclone
1405s	and an alligator as well but fraternity
1408s	with the heavy armor pum at the moment
1410s	the Navy AR two Navy armor against
1411s	prophecy D Sentinel I mean for turny
1414s	with the flag flag Navy by the way both
1416s	rapid Heavies as well so they they've
1417s	gone heavy into that as well this is a
1419s	this is going to be interesting trying
1420s	to chase down a kite cop with what is
1422s	going to be two rapid heavy get navies
1424s	yeah school um um the schools and the on
1426s	the arrival team definitely need to be
1428s	very careful they're very squishy um I
1430s	do think the arrival have a bit of I
1432s	think they can do this as well I think
1433s	this is it's going to be very hard for
1435s	them to to C around the armageddon's
1437s	being very oppressive with 3 seconds to
1438s	count down to the match starts I think
1439s	we're going to see damage land hard and
1441s	fast right now definitely at the start
1442s	for sure they've got no way to stop
1444s	damage except for distance whereas the
1445s	uh fraternity team does have some
1447s	control with the Sentinel in the
1448s	arbitrator yeah two deacons on
1449s	fraternity as well I'm expecting a lot
1451s	of damp here come some damps coming out
1453s	in the alligator some GDs as well
1455s	obviously across from the arbitrator
1456s	onto arrival but the forain team slowly
1460s	burning in and as expected arrival
1462s	moving away we got Hy babes M 44 howling
1464s	wind we got jenu lots of season pant on
1467s	their team and obviously oh yeah um you
1468s	got Fuki on the fraternity side so some
1471s	really good pilots on gri right now and
1473s	a rival really have a very small margin
1475s	for error exactly that I'm just looking
1477s	through and it looks like we've got the
1478s	effects working correctly now but you
1479s	notice there's only one G disrupter so
1481s	far there's only one it's maybe he's
1482s	stacking on on one on one one ship maybe
1485s	maybe well there's no real damage coming
1487s	in right now so and they might not be in
1489s	range for the other things but they are
1490s	bowed up right now arrival and the
1491s	fraternity slowly moving in it looks
1494s	like they are on a mar jump drive Beacon
1497s	the arrival team so they might be
1498s	looking to do a quicker switch Runo and
1501s	go around the arena and start hitting
1503s	some you know some of the ships trying
1504s	to get some down and just get away from
1506s	the gons and stuff because the only real
1507s	things for tackle that relatively quick
1510s	is I think a draer and the vexa for
1513s	looks like they canceled it they just
1515s	decid to go for the run in looks like
1517s	looks like they are going the arbitrator
1518s	up why is the arbitrator up front uh an
1521s	interesting choice the arbitrator the
1522s	first primary for arrival the damage
1523s	will be landing hard and fast the
1525s	deacons need to be pre-re repping it
1527s	looks like they were they were ready for
1528s	the mjd the other okay I need to get
1530s	over here away from the mjd and they
1531s	said okay we're just not going to do it
1532s	now we're going to go straight to you
1533s	and now we're seeing a massive massive
1535s	amounts of damage oh they're going to
1536s	kill the AR as fast as they can the
1538s	going to do my absolute best Arby is
1539s	going to go down I spr Navy being
1540s	pressured as well I think it's a quite a
1542s	good trade get those GDs off okay now
1544s	should pull range get go away again save
1545s	the try and save if you can but get away
1547s	get away get away now he's gone okay I
1549s	think they are committed right now rival
1551s	they need to they need to just
1552s	focus you're sure they were Heavies
1555s	right yeah you have to unless their
1558s	hands say maybe they're trying to do a
1559s	switch ah they are hands I believe oh no
1562s	dude I trusted you I believe they are I
1565s	think they're just going for it though
1566s	but this is a risky move though yeah in
1568s	that case this is a fullon ham rush but
1569s	it's a risk I think they're trying to go
1571s	back and then just go straight in yeah I
1572s	guess so this a ham Rush play rather
1574s	than a cting play so entirely different
1576s	strategy entirely yeah look at all the
1578s	scrams this was a ham Rush this was
1580s	absolutely a ham rush so here we go
1582s	they're going to try and eat a prophecy
1584s	which by the way incredibly tanky battle
1586s	Cruisers so they take a lot to die maybe
1589s	going down as well though this is a huge
1590s	gamble I mean Now understand what they
1593s	were doing they're trying to go back to
1594s	the beacon to get everything on at zero
1596s	and get all the damage immediately
1597s	because they know that this is going to
1599s	be difficult to F fight in terms of like
1601s	that prophecy is surviving now I don't
1603s	think he's moved any lower than his he's
1605s	at at the moment I think if this is a
1608s	rush which it looks like it is unless
1609s	that Deacon goes down they get the other
1610s	Deacon quickly they might be in trouble
1612s	get a webs and TP on him right now he
1614s	should go down he should go down come on
1615s	come on come on get him get him he's
1617s	being swarmed with drones he's off away
1619s	he's too far away I think I think this
1622s	is going to be it for arrival man I was
1624s	I was excited for it being a kite I'm
1626s	even more excited it was a rush and
1628s	unfortunately both doesn't matter either
1630s	way I think they're about to get
1631s	flattened yeah I think I mean fraternity
1634s	the Deacon of of copper literally saving
1636s	the match I think right there if he died
1639s	it could be a completely another way cuz
1641s	if he dies a deacon a second Deacon
1642s	potentially dies as well but then the
1644s	prophecy now he has burned away so now
1646s	the Reps won't be landing on the
1647s	prophecy so the prophecy should go down
1648s	here but I think that's probably a
1650s	little too late at that point right but
1651s	arrival definitely behind right now they
1654s	still have ay still have D cenal two
1656s	armor game Navy issues so the control
1659s	bars you on the screen right now is
1660s	massive for Fraternity which just
1662s	demonstrates how much how much utility
1663s	they still have they are going for the
1665s	dragon next that's that's actually a
1666s	very good call to remove some cheap easy
1669s	damage can they get oh I don't know can
1672s	they survive to the reload they're
1673s	getting Heavies I don't know if they can
1675s	they still have a simitar on arrival
1676s	which is worth noting they still have
1678s	their reps but the damage is too much
1680s	taking the d off is huge and getting
1682s	that damage off but the two gons are
1684s	just looming for the end game you know
1686s	exactly that exactly that so I think
1687s	that you know the vexa going for the
1689s	vexa uh is probably the better choice
1691s	and the school about to go down as well
1692s	the school should be they are quite
1694s	actually pretty far they're staying a
1696s	bit far away but they doesn't matter it
1698s	doesn't matter they're going to be in
1698s	range to shoot which means they're in
1700s	range of the rapid Heavies yeah pretty
1701s	much they're going to die it doesn't
1702s	matter the simitar can just do his best
1704s	to to help up the Reps and stuff but the
1706s	vexa looks like it's holding I think bit
1708s	sent damage on the Sentinel right now NE
1710s	Drake's now webbed I mean the Rival
1711s	still trying to fight which is amazing
1713s	but they need to try and either they're
1715s	all locked down though this is the
1716s	problem they're lock down yep yep this
1718s	is going to be a brawl to the end for
1719s	them but there's not really much they
1721s	can do it's kind of a like well we're
1724s	here now we're stuck we're engaging and
1726s	we can't really kill what we need to
1728s	kill yeah I feel like a rival obviously
1731s	understanding they have to go in no
1732s	matter what they have to go in and they
1734s	tried to do their best to get all the
1736s	damage they had theoretically they had
1738s	the right thing they got the arbitrator
1739s	first which was weakening them so
1741s	straight away took that out and that
1742s	point they kind of committed in but it's
1744s	difficult but when you when you come up
1746s	against these comps when you have to
1747s	like rush in make decisions it's so
1750s	difficult to make decisions in a snap
1751s	second because you go for the arbitrator
1753s	there maybe you know something else is
1755s	closer to you so like you know a rival
1756s	might have to switch them quicker or you
1758s	know you have to kind of look where all
1760s	the ships are to make sure everyone's in
1761s	range to go for something and get the
1763s	damage immediately because I think they
1764s	traded the arbitrator for nopr evue
1766s	right which not too bad yeah but it's
1768s	like what was your followup after that
1770s	it's like they kind of ran into the wall
1771s	that is a prophecy in two gon Navy like
1773s	everything we engage is way too tanky
1775s	it's the Deacon if they got the Deacon
1777s	down they I think it' be a different
1779s	match they would it' be much closer I
1780s	think like we wouldn't be talking about
1781s	oh how it's all over they' be talking
1783s	about oh maybe they can get something
1784s	this cuz if they get the Deacon down
1786s	they still have a lodgy yeah I'm not a
1788s	fan of engaging the prophecy first I'm
1789s	going to say that right now you picked
1791s	the tankiest thing around with which
1793s	does as far as I'm aware the least
1795s	damage I believe well he's got he's got
1797s	links as well on there true but bloody
1799s	hell mate like you're picking the
1800s	biggest chunkiest thing you can find
1802s	it's like you're shoot you're shooting
1803s	at the something that is the size of a
1804s	moon it's true but you can apply it
1806s	quite well which is which is which is
1808s	which is good they probably saw it as
1809s	being quite close alligator going down
1811s	for hzy babes um fraternity pushing
1814s	through the losers bracket and we're
1815s	seeing this in this losers bracket big
1817s	teams moving through they'll definitely
1819s	come across AAS maneuvering at some
1821s	point um but fry are doing a fantastic
1823s	job losing their first match as you said
1825s	at the beginning and the first match of
1826s	the entire tournament too by the way
1828s	that was day one match one they lost
1830s	like oh God here we go this is different
1832s	and then still pushing through I like it
1834s	unfortunately arrival looks like it'll
1836s	be the end of the row for them I mean
1838s	again with all the teams in the losers
1840s	bracket really strong showing as we said
1841s	in the last match with Bray arrival
1844s	really strong team solid Pilots I mean
1846s	fantastic to get this far they still go
1848s	away with at ships I believe uh everyone
1850s	that gets to the last weekend still gets
1852s	some of the prizes I think it's only
1853s	like one ship one of each ship a wins a
1855s	win so they still get they still get the
1857s	python which is what everyone's after
1860s	the other ship don't really matter it's
1861s	just the P the pie think is the first
1862s	batt ship at at ship which is fantastic
1865s	I mean and like every blop ship it is a
1866s	just a constant dick measuring ship it's
1868s	a it's it's a marshall with extra signs
1870s	on it you know it's I mean it's a really
1872s	strong ship as well it is a very strong
1874s	ship right now it's just clean up right
1875s	now the Sall uh is off on his own I
1879s	think uh he's being D GED right now the
1881s	Simi howling wind uh still uh they're
1884s	together right now on a on a beacon as
1886s	you can see on the screen are they going
1887s	to MJ do out he's mding up he's mding up
1890s	so he's going to try and stay in the
1892s	game oh love the skin on that look at
1893s	that yeah yeah I love it when they have
1896s	a nice skin there you know on on the
1898s	ships and stuff we get let squore is
1901s	nothing but a giant billboard you can
1902s	put whatever you want on that it really
1904s	is just a Square billboard exactly you
1906s	put whatever the hell you want on that
1907s	thing put your we do like I do like a
1908s	good skin I always check the Skins
1909s	before when the matches matches start
1911s	because as we know that's all that
1912s	matters how you look like how your ship
1916s	is is what matters the Deacon honestly I
1918s	think going to give it to Copper Cen for
1920s	the MVP realizing that he was basically
1924s	about to go down and realized I need to
1926s	get out of here right now because he was
1927s	in close to keep the Reps for the whole
1930s	team for Fraternity but realizing he was
1932s	in danger burning away with his AB uh
1935s	getting out and then uh surviving and
1938s	then coming back in but obviously a bit
1939s	of a double smart play there too because
1941s	either a I get away and I survive or B I
1944s	get away and and I'm about to die anyway
1946s	but I drag their drones with me exactly
1948s	so you're because alligator drones you
1950s	got these very chunky High DPS drones
1952s	you've managed to drag off the fight for
1954s	a moment of time you can waste time and
1956s	that is a lot of you know good players
1958s	in the at it's just wasting time if
1960s	you're about to go down especially
1961s	against drone comps the moment you see a
1962s	drone comp the game is just to go away
1964s	just go away from the drones Let Them
1965s	Suffer let them chase you like as Benny
1967s	Hill for the next half an hour like I
1969s	think if you can waste as much time as
1970s	possible if you're about to go down and
1972s	you can extend 10 seconds that's 10
1974s	seconds of your team for example the
1975s	arrival team he is wasting time the
1978s	arrival team trying to kill him
1979s	meanwhile fraternity and managing to get
1981s	get one ship down after the next
1983s	Obviously good fights in local one
1984s	minute remaining on the time um I'm
1986s	excited to see how fraternity go and how
1988s	far they go I I would love to see them
1990s	make it to the finals again after they
1991s	you know match one day one loss that be
1994s	a good final exactly having them drag
1995s	their way to the end as the previous
1997s	Tournament champion I've said it before
1998s	said before say it again that would be
1999s	an awesome run returning Champions go to
2001s	losers in the first match then straight
2003s	through the through the losers bracket
2005s	all the way to the finals and then
2006s	potentially win again that would be
2008s	would love to see that and that would be
2009s	they're going to get all the the skin
2010s	run they're going for the skin skin run
2012s	yeah this there was a cunning plan all
2014s	planned at the barbecue it's all
2016s	probably the fry barbecue let's go for
2018s	the losers bracket and get as many skins
2020s	as possible I mean harling still staying
2022s	alive not wanting to go down I I rate
2025s	that really well like I think you canate
2028s	that I'm sitting there going boo Haring
2030s	wi saying that he's uh he needs to save
2032s	the isk for SRP for the flag so he needs
2035s	to you know got to keep the keep every
2037s	penny counts
2038s	um that I wonder how much uh is SAR
2041s	would be for the flag but there you go
2043s	match is complete thank you so much to
2044s	arrival for your beautiful match and
2046s	going to go uh back on break and back to
2047s	the studio
2083s	last year's defending Champions showing
2086s	why they won the Lions tournament 19 as
2088s	they knock a rival out and I believe
2090s	secure themselves at least top 16 in
2093s	Alliance tournament 20 so they have some
2096s	prize ships on the way uh arrival
2098s	unfortunately have no priz ships on the
2099s	way and they lost their vargar last week
2101s	anyway so uh not a great run from them
2103s	but uh I still really enjoyed the
2106s	performance from arrival this tournament
2107s	I really like their um more offbeat kind
2110s	of uh comps like the the flag varer and
2113s	things like that I I think added some
2114s	nice variety to the tournament uh which
2116s	was super nice so unfortunately we say
2118s	goodbye to them uh but fraternity will
2120s	move on and continue their run through
2122s	the low bracket the skin run uh as we
2125s	sometimes say now mystical mind we saw
2127s	on um the arrival team there was a
2130s	couple of squalls Sall good mouth feeli
2134s	Squall why would someone bring a Squall
2137s	to Alliance tournament yeah so uh we
2139s	actually noticed in twitch chat uh from
2141s	Borger simulator um that they were
2143s	asking what purpose the Squall has in an
2145s	alliance tournament match it's a
2147s	industrial ship it does a lot of hauling
2149s	on TQ but it's one of the new lines of
2153s	industrial ship that CCP has released
2155s	that can fit missiles and some form of
2157s	tank and it actually goes fairly quickly
2159s	so because it's so cheap in the
2161s	tournament I think it's about four
2162s	points if you're just bringing one it's
2164s	a really good fill-in ship especially in
2167s	a comp like ham Rush where you want to
2169s	be doing a lot of damage I think the
2171s	Squall gets up to about 400 DPS um for
2174s	Four Points which is pretty good um so
2177s	you can bring a few of them uh due to
2179s	the point inflation if you bring three I
2180s	think it's what six points each
2183s	thereabouts I can't do maths I was in
2184s	VTA so math maths is impossible for me
2187s	but essentially it's just a really good
2189s	easy ship to bring in that will rarely
2192s	be banned but sometimes is okay now uh
2195s	blackb pirates in that last match um it
2197s	was really kind of touch and goal for
2199s	both teams and at one point um the
2201s	arrival team managed to grab one of the
2203s	deacons on the fraternity side and we
2205s	were watching it and I remember we were
2207s	standing looking at it we're like if
2208s	this Deacon lives then frat wins this
2210s	match but if this Deacon goes down then
2212s	it's probably going to be a bit of a
2213s	Snowball Effect for the arrival team and
2215s	we saw that Deacon surviving just a SLI
2218s	of Hull why was that so important so you
2220s	know you're flying a shield Rush comp a
2222s	rival is flying a shield Rush comp and
2223s	they had kind of engaged pretty heavily
2225s	on a prophecy which is kind of a
2227s	questionable choice but you know we've
2228s	talked about it before sometimes like
2230s	that's your only option what I think
2232s	happened was the prophecy was at like
2233s	20ish per armor and one of the deacons
2236s	got a little close and a Ral to that
2237s	like y switch get it get it I can tackle
2239s	it we can kill it and they did tackle it
2241s	uh the Deacon 90% sure was ten in a fit
2244s	basically just flew in a straight line
2247s	barely got out of range barely caught
2249s	reps and then all that time that your
2251s	Shield Rush is spent uh spending
2253s	shooting a ship that you don't kill is
2255s	time you're shooting a ship that you
2257s	could have killed so they probably could
2259s	have killed the prophecy I think the
2260s	prophecy was very very low he kind of we
2263s	were it's it was right on the edge there
2265s	um by not killing the Deacon you they
2267s	wasted like almost a minute of DPS time
2269s	that they're still losing ships the
2271s	other teams not losing ships which is
2273s	bad you want their team to lose ships
2275s	and your team to keep them e tip by the
2277s	way and then uh yeah but like since the
2279s	Deacon escaped they spent a ton of DPS
2282s	not killing a ship and then the Deacon
2283s	just kind of flew back right in once it
2285s	was repped up and at that point it was
2287s	too
2288s	late I was just going to add I think
2290s	that switching to the Deacon wasn't
2292s	necessarily a terrible choice because as
2293s	you mentioned with the Ten Men it does
2295s	make it very hard to kill but we did see
2297s	that the Deacon offensively just flew
2299s	directly away from both the enemy team
2302s	but also his team so when they decide
2305s	okay we can't actually kill this Deacon
2307s	we're unable to ch it because we're
2309s	probably pinned down by things like the
2310s	prophecy which is why they were shooting
2311s	it um they can switch back to the
2314s	prophecy and quickly clear it off the
2315s	field I think the main issue is just
2317s	that they didn't make that decision
2318s	sooner yeah cuz the Deacon's only going
2320s	to have about a 13k rep range where it's
2322s	actually doing good reps outside of that
2324s	it starts to fall off pretty quickly so
2326s	the moment it started flying away they
2327s	could have swapped back to the prophecy
2328s	since it was still low and you know
2331s	cleared it away much quicker yeah I feel
2332s	like moments like that when a a team
2334s	notices a a positioning error maybe the
2337s	de can getting too close and then and
2338s	they're able to swap over and try and
2339s	catch it although it didn't work out for
2340s	arrival this is kind of what you see
2342s	some of the the top tier teams doing
2343s	they don't just get tunnel focused onto
2344s	the ship they're shooting and let you
2346s	know those deacons just sit at optimal
2348s	uh unmolested for as long as they want
2349s	this time they managed to see them swap
2351s	almost almost worked for them
2353s	unfortunately it did not so they are
2354s	done all right let's look at our next
2356s	match it's going to be Ronan reloaded
2357s	versus we form Volta so let's take a
2359s	look at the band for this
2360s	match run reloaded Banning out the
2363s	simitar hyena Loki and the zaraz I think
2367s	that's a type of Z
2368s	uh we form VTA Banning out the
2369s	arbitrated crucifire Loki and Sentinel
2372s	so lots of uh ewar kiting ships uh like
2376s	the Sentinels with the the GDs and the
2377s	tracking disruptors Etc uh blackb pirate
2380s	what do you think we might see in this
2381s	matchup uh well you know one thing here
2384s	is that Ronin has clearly studied their
2385s	opponent and they know that Volta have
2388s	legendary hyena Pilots um so I what I
2391s	would expect is that like a lot of the
2393s	times these really high tier teams like
2394s	Volta has been in the past we'll see how
2397s	they are after this match we make a
2398s	decision in that case uh are very very
2399s	good at using um ships like the hyena
2402s	and the hugan and I'm I would expect to
2404s	see vola bring something with the hugan
2406s	uh it is one of the most disgusting at
2408s	control ships in the game also
2409s	disgusting on TQ died to one yesterday
2411s	you know shout out to that Rome um no no
2414s	zarm Manders that's kind of weird I
2416s	don't think Vol has used one yet
2418s	so but I get it um I would expect to see
2421s	with all of these tracking disruptors
2422s	banned I would expect to see some kind
2424s	of medium gun spam possibly a heavy
2426s	missile kite I don't think we've seen
2428s	them be particularly good with the
2429s	exception of the tuskers one but you
2431s	know that's the tuskers they're special
2433s	Y and we did see that Volta have already
2435s	lost their Flagship it was piloted by
2437s	anet was about like 170 or so billion uh
2440s	the flagship Bargas that is deed so they
2442s	obviously can't bring that to band Doge
2444s	obviously the Bargas isn't even banned
2445s	in the first place but the power of a
2447s	flagship baras is quite immense uh so
2449s	I'll be interested to see what happens
2451s	here I do think that this zarm ban um I
2454s	think it does really affect the Widow
2455s	comp and I know Volta or ECM and joy ERS
2458s	uh they they do tend to use uh more ECM
2461s	focused comps at time to time so this
2462s	could be a targeted ban from Ronin there
2465s	uh B what do you think about that uh I
2467s	could see it we haven't seen it yet but
2468s	also you you know you're correct Bolta
2470s	has years of experience and they could
2472s	pull it out at any point and we've only
2473s	seen I think one ECM comp so far this
2476s	tournament but it was really really good
2477s	but it did require the Widow and the
2480s	zarm um I would love to see some ECM
2483s	comps actually I like them I know twitch
2484s	chat hates them and I know people hate
2485s	being jammed but uh they're very very
2488s	from like an analytical perspective uh I
2490s	could see Volta do it I think that they
2491s	would do a very good job and I think
2492s	that against a team like Ronin who is um
2495s	newer they're definitely not bad like
2498s	you know they have ships 16 teams don't
2500s	uh I think that it would be maybe a good
2502s	way to kind of pressure them but then at
2503s	the end of the day it's a best of one so
2505s	do you want to really like literally be
2507s	dice rolling your chances of winning
2508s	like okay well you know maybe this will
2509s	Jam maybe it won't your jams do bad you
2512s	can literally lose a match because RNG
2513s	said no no all right well with that
2516s	let's head over to the arena for this
2517s	match match and I think it's going to be
2518s	a good
2521s	one and welcome back to Arena and you
2524s	can probably see there's a chair missing
2526s	right now I'm sta Le commander and I'm
2528s	going to be joined by CCP overload who's
2531s	just running into the studio right now
2532s	we from V versus R reloaded it only felt
2535s	right that you were here we here for
2537s	this one the vter match today um medium
2539s	rail guns span medium ra gun span
2541s	against a little Abad and flee Tempest
2544s	okay which is going to be uh a lot of
2546s	laser damage a lot of eh p in those two
2548s	abandons there as well so we'll see if
2550s	the volter team can break through that
2551s	and the countdown is running I think we
2553s	volter have to go for the vigil if I get
2556s	some of the small things down
2556s	immediately if they waste time to like
2559s	not killing anything I think this is
2560s	going to go bad and that wait a second
2563s	is that oh my god do you know who that
2567s	is I've heard of this person I I think
2569s	but I don't know where it comes from um
2571s	conquer doen con dokan is on the way on
2574s	the way from V legendary Alliance
2575s	tournament person I mean I think I I
2578s	don't I can't put my finger on it but I
2580s	think he's I think he's well known in in
2581s	the in sort of I believe he is an
2583s	alliance tournament ship enjoyer as with
2585s	that the match is underway and I see
2587s	drones being dropped the Magus is the
2589s	first primary and he's getting chunked
2591s	right now the Reda is going to have to
2592s	start spilling on him but that's the
2593s	problem with those travan reps they
2595s	spill slowly so if they can get this
2596s	Magus down that will be a lot of links
2598s	off the field really quickly yeah we
2600s	from vter really need to capitalize on
2601s	the damage that they can get immediately
2603s	but it looks like the Magus isn't going
2605s	down uh TP still on him right now
2607s	vigilant right now Ze taking a bit of
2609s	damage web the Navy om Navy Sho vter
2611s	really need to change the target get
2613s	something else down exactly now that
2614s	Riva has spoed on that Magus it's going
2616s	to be almost impossible to break so
2617s	they're going to need to take something
2619s	else out and see if they can uh they can
2621s	take that down side and there you go the
2622s	the the Reps have now moved on to the
2623s	vexer so this could be an opportunity to
2625s	swap back onto that Magus Now The Spill
2626s	has been broken maybe it's just time to
2628s	go for the Riva and try and get him down
2630s	I know they're tanky but they they
2632s	they're struggling to break anything
2633s	right now for the vexa Navy am is issue
2636s	in ibox is uh he's not tackled anymore
2638s	he's not webbed volter trying to kite
2640s	away keeping their distance right now uh
2642s	right now the temp issue the battleships
2644s	are are pushing in but the Navy Omen is
2646s	going a bit down the vexa is taking a
2648s	lot of damage we on the Tempest we on
2649s	the Navy Harvey Navy issue of Ma I mean
2652s	VTA need to get signed down yeah I mean
2654s	the moment the the Riva allun reloaded
2656s	uh bed daos is doing a great job keeping
2659s	his teammate alive the vexer slowly
2661s	bleeding there is some damage onto the
2662s	Magus as well and it's going to be
2663s	really hard for him to swap his reps
2665s	back and forward between multiple
2666s	targets when they're on and when they're
2667s	spilled if he gets through that initial
2669s	bit then he can keep them alive under a
2671s	lot of DPS that Navy Omen though is
2672s	starting to look a little bit toasty we
2674s	got a TP on the Riva lots of bots in him
2677s	now the Vigilant maybe needs to go in
2679s	damage coming onto the Riva now looks
2681s	like Volta deciding to go straight on
2683s	Thea putting drones on some some of the
2685s	Magus as well on the Ponte but Ma is
2688s	tackled in the Navy Harbinger and he
2690s	will go down yeah I think so I was just
2691s	looking at the positioning of this Riva
2693s	he's well placed behind uh the rest of
2694s	his team there's a swarm of drones kind
2696s	of chasing him around but he currently
2698s	is not really in any danger of being
2700s	tackled unless he makes a misplay the P
2702s	effects though starting to look uh like
2704s	he might be about to go down yeah the
2705s	Reda needs to decide doesn't he he needs
2707s	to decide he can only rip one target at
2709s	a time and obviously the spool resets
2711s	when he ever when he changes a ship the
2713s	pon is just got loads of drones in here
2714s	right now and volter could easily just
2716s	switch him and try and kill him yeah I
2717s	mean this PX is not getting the reps are
2720s	landing on him now uh but he is almost
2722s	into Hull and there we go the Reps area
2725s	is taking some damage he's about to go
2726s	down what is hitting him oh if they lose
2728s	this Reda then it's going to be a bit of
2729s	a bad bad time for them and there he is
2731s	he's down huge win for vter getting a
2733s	Reda down now it's time to clean up that
2735s	support get the support Off the Grid
2736s	immediately and then kite around the
2738s	abandoned Tempest or potentially just go
2740s	for the battleships yeah I mean there
2742s	goes another ship there okay so n going
2743s	to start to become harder and harder for
2745s	run reloads to pull this back they
2747s	didn't manage to break any of the ships
2748s	on the Volta side yet they really
2749s	threatened that Navy prophecy he is
2751s	still still taking a lot of damage as he
2752s	drops even closer towards Hull but at
2754s	this point the links are off the field
2756s	for run Reloaded The the loggies off the
2758s	field things are going to die fast here
2759s	we go the crew is now taking damage yeah
2761s	getting rid of the CER big win the webs
2764s	for lockdown they're looking to just try
2765s	and go for the longevity aren't they get
2768s	rid of the lur end and just kite around
2770s	kodor can about to go down the structure
2772s	maybe it's a poetic end for him
2774s	potentially about to go down into into
2776s	structure Vex is still up alive for
2778s	running loaded but they are losing their
2779s	entire support Wing aren't they about to
2781s	go down no Pro taking a lot of damage
2783s	about that but he's no webs at all reps
2785s	landing on him right now from planet 6
2787s	uh two really good Pilots right now he
2789s	looks like he is going to stay alive if
2790s	he goes down that's a huge win for Ronin
2792s	yeah it's definitely a win but the Reps
2794s	have landed on him now and he's tanking
2795s	I think uh he might just be able to
2797s	survive but every time uh every little
2800s	second he lasts a little bit longer he's
2801s	in Hull now he probably will die another
2803s	ship goes down for R reloaded it is
2804s	basically an ehp race at this point if
2806s	they lose that Talia and noo just
2808s	holding on planet 6 and the other Deacon
2810s	KCK probably overheating all of his reps
2812s	right now he has a sliver of Hull
2814s	remaining and the armor is just gently
2816s	bouncing up and down as he starts to go
2818s	down 5% structure on this Talia looks 1%
2822s	looks like Planet 6 is Ned so he's
2824s	trying to pulse reps looks like no will
2826s	go down so the LOD down for for we and
2828s	volter I think a correct move for volter
2831s	team go for the fleet tempis AG start
2833s	getting the batt shs down you've got the
2834s	damage you can probably win this DPS
2836s	race yeah I mean the running reloaded
2838s	comp is a very top heavy three battles
2839s	ships does a lot of damage a lot of HP
2841s	sitting in those three ships Volta
2843s	decided to split their stuff over
2844s	multiple sort of mid-range ships which
2846s	is why this points are actually closer
2848s	than it kind of appears with a bunch of
2849s	ships missing on the roning side but
2851s	this Fleet Tempest oh gosh he is going
2853s	to uh he's going to make a quick end I
2855s	think I think so but the Bruto s stiggy
2857s	is going to go down as well so a little
2858s	bit of a trade but a good trade they
2860s	still have a Vigilant Navy Navy om Navy
2862s	issue and navy Hub and a St for DPS so I
2865s	think the bons are going to be hard to
2867s	chew through though they are they are
2868s	just brick monsters but that Fleet
2870s	Tempest when he drops off that's a lot
2872s	of uh control from that Fleet Tempest
2874s	with those utility highs it's a lot of
2875s	HP and it's a lot of damage I mean
2877s	that's a that's a faction Battleship
2879s	there now it's just two Tech Two
2880s	battleships and with this vigil now
2882s	being removed those abens are going to
2883s	find it quite hard to reach out and do a
2885s	lot of damage to some of these smaller
2886s	ships on the Volta side yeah I think
2888s	Volta looking to sort of kite around a
2890s	bit on the on the screen in front of
2891s	view they are spread out the badens uh
2894s	well it looks like they're going to go
2895s	for Fury in near badon 4 minutes 43
2897s	seconds on the clock 115 points to
2899s	volter I mean the badens will struggle
2901s	to track potentially but they might be
2903s	able to chew through yeah I mean they're
2905s	going to have to start doing some Pro
2906s	Gamer moves and and try and uh reduce
2908s	the transversal as much as possible uh
2910s	the very very Advanced tactical control
2913s	space will help them here to track I
2915s	mean we we still have Planet Six alive
2917s	in a deacon yeah which could come in
2920s	clutch at the end that's going to be
2921s	free ehp every time he gets his rep
2922s	cycling on something that's ehp that
2924s	Ronin have to shoot through again so I
2926s	mean although there's only one down if
2927s	he gets shot if he gets caught in that
2929s	Deacon then he's going to be um well
2931s	he's going to die basically he's got
2932s	some drones on him which I think are
2934s	sort of peppering him down the omen naue
2936s	of vbx taking a lot of damage going to
2938s	go into structure I think he is trying
2939s	to burn away a bit a lot of damage
2941s	across the volter team right now and
2943s	they have to go two through in aad which
2945s	is going to be difficult F FX has to be
2947s	a get bit close he needs to get in close
2948s	to get the damage a nice hit on the omav
2951s	right now of ibox if only planet six can
2953s	get in I think he should get in ASAP get
2956s	I'm just looking at his positioning he
2956s	is quite far he's actually heading
2957s	towards one of the uh he's heading
2959s	towards the omen Navy right now so the
2961s	Navy is pulled right back they sitting
2963s	very close to a jump a micro jump drive
2964s	unit trying to get out of range these
2966s	are badens of course um are slow AF
2969s	they're not going to be able to chase
2970s	these other ships down so I mean this is
2972s	this is Advanced tactics star Fleet it's
2974s	being shot by something that can't move
2976s	just run away just literally run away I
2978s	mean the it's a slow grind down on the
2979s	bad as you can see on the screen like we
2981s	still got a vision on the side of you
2983s	can see the attack bar is obviously way
2984s	larger for the volter team but it's no
2986s	it's a no small feat to kill in the bad
2988s	and it's so so tanky but I think FY is
2991s	really low armor though there's still a
2993s	lot of VP to chew through and the sky
2995s	Breer also going down here we go okay so
2996s	it's just two badens now and that is
2998s	still a lot of points to tr through
3000s	that's 80 points right there and I VTA
3003s	probably this is Theirs to lose I think
3005s	more than anything else I think if
3007s	volter make a huge mistake here because
3009s	they're going to get theand down and
3010s	they and red haven't killed anything yet
3013s	for it they might kill a lot of low 0 HP
3017s	ships on that VTA side though all it
3019s	takes is one well played wrecking shot
3022s	and then those chips are just going to
3023s	go poof and then it's going to start the
3025s	damage will start to drop off and the
3026s	other will last longer he has 2 and a
3028s	half minutes to do some solo PVP right
3030s	now uh the final abaten on the Ronin
3033s	side but I mean look at this Navy Omen
3034s	of ibox he is very low I think he might
3036s	still go down I think he might go down
3038s	here Planet 6 doing amazing job even
3040s	though he's sort of have I love how
3041s	Planet 6 having his own little battle
3043s	right now of drones he sort of ignored
3044s	the rest of the game like I've got these
3047s	drones on me I got to run around he's
3048s	probably busy telling no Pro to stop
3050s	feeding probably yeah they were probably
3052s	locked down by the NES I think
3054s	struggling uh PL six yeah I mean the the
3057s	good thing about having the Talan the
3059s	Deacon and flown by two really
3060s	experienced Pilots there is they they
3062s	work together super well but if one goes
3064s	down the other one kind of becomes
3066s	almost a liability at times but Planet 6
3067s	has turned that into a positive he's
3069s	being able to just reposition around the
3070s	arena he's being helped by the rest of
3072s	his team when they get primary the team
3074s	pull back towards Planet 6 he reps them
3076s	up a bit and every time that happens
3077s	again like I said that is just more ehp
3079s	for that abadon to chew through there is
3082s	a good good luck in local I think good
3084s	ggs are going up in local uh the last
3087s	bad and still holding on I don't think
3089s	he's going to get anything down everyone
3090s	is so low the whole vter team is so low
3093s	just takes like one wrecking shot from
3095s	that abadon H could just end someone's
3097s	spaceship life here because like they do
3100s	they do so much damage I know I mean
3102s	Planet Six regening Shields now and has
3105s	got to ptus and trying to give him some
3107s	reps a bit of reps I think but I think
3108s	he's probably struggled on the cap he
3109s	should be okay now but I think I think
3113s	vter have got this I think so I think um
3115s	like I say it's theirs to lose barring
3117s	any mistakes but oh look at that Navy
3118s	Omen he's he still down actually I'm
3121s	actually yeah I want him to die he's
3123s	about to go down I think he's instruct
3125s	kill him kill him stop stop kill him
3127s	kill him now he's not in oh he's not
3129s	moving he's only 200 he's he's just slow
3131s	poting right now oh no ibx he's going to
3133s	go down I think y here you go so there
3135s	it is one kill mark for the abandon um
3137s	I'll take that as I guess cons
3139s	consolation conation but I think the
3140s	ab's going to go down I think we're
3142s	going to get him I think f is I don't
3144s	believe let's see where he I think he's
3145s	G think there a bad his a game I think
3147s	he's going to pull through he's got 30
3149s	seconds can the remains of the Volta
3151s	team chew through this abandon in 30
3152s	seconds or can uh I'm not sure Point 20
3156s	plan Planet six oh no Planet Six is down
3159s	as well Lo's down Lo feeding classic
3163s	volter move classic volter you got the
3165s	win just stop dying yeah stop dying oh
3168s	oh the bad's going to survive 10 seconds
3170s	10 seconds I'm just I'm so invested on
3172s	this a bad in surviving now 7 seconds he
3174s	is in super low Hull oh oh he's down
3177s	four seconds 4 seconds to go game ends
3181s	we're going to have to send you back to
3182s	the desk yeah I've got my other job to
3183s	go back to but yeah thanks for coming
3185s	over thank you for having me but with
3186s	that we'll go to a break and you're
3187s	going to see this guy on the
3190s	desk there we go we for vter taking the
3193s	win there they managed to squeak through
3195s	they lost a couple ships towards the end
3197s	those abandons were gaming uh and it was
3199s	a little bit touch and goal when the
3201s	first Lodi frig went down but VTA
3202s	managing to pull through with the sort
3204s	of mum gun spam style comp uh blackb
3207s	pirate take me through what happened in
3208s	that particular setup well uh we did
3210s	have a medium gun spam style comp versus
3212s	a triple Battleship with abadin which
3216s	are very very dangerous up close but uh
3218s	not that dangerous far away in Volta
3220s	using you know years of experience and
3222s	uh a little bit of Competency we're like
3223s	hm what if we just don't be next to them
3226s	uh so basically stayed at max range the
3228s	whole time um being little spikee heads
3229s	for those uh who know the meme and uh
3232s	yeah they they were able to kind of
3233s	slowly Woodling down um there was a bit
3235s	of shenanigans uh the vigil pilot of
3240s	ronin uh decided to Target paint his own
3242s	teammates uhoh which is not what you're
3245s	supposed to do it does in fact make your
3246s	signature larger and make it easier to
3248s	be hit uh and more importantly not only
3250s	did they do that they also did not
3252s	Target paint the logistics FRS which are
3254s	notorious for it being very very small
3257s	ships that you need to make bigger so uh
3259s	it is entirely possible um can't confirm
3263s	it but they might have lost specifically
3266s	due to a little bit of visual axing but
3268s	hey I mean you know we already saw
3270s	certain uh certain things in that match
3272s	that shows that Volta is down to do a
3274s	little bit of dirty trickery so maybe
3276s	there was some uh a bit of paying off
3278s	possibly Alliance ship trade or two and
3280s	maybe he like ah M Mr vigil pilot what
3283s	if you what if you sabotage your own
3284s	team what will give you something nice
3287s	well one thing I did notice as well uh
3289s	the Volta side they normally like to fly
3291s	things like hyenas and stuff like that
3293s	and the Ronin side ban out that hyena
3296s	but I can't what feel that if that video
3298s	was a hyena it would have probably been
3299s	better with those uh the triple
3302s	battleships yeah that's right B yeah you
3304s	know what you know what you know what
3306s	I'm going to say it what if he webbed
3307s	his own teammates true if he was if he
3309s	was a h he could have webbed and painted
3311s	his own teammates we into I feel like
3312s	the hyena band was actually just damage
3314s	control on their side to stop him from
3316s	flying the hyena is like I don't want to
3318s	be webbed but I will accept being Target
3320s	painted I think was probably the Ronin
3322s	Ronin thought process um the thing with
3325s	the vigil versus a hyen is that vigil is
3328s	able to stay pretty far away um the one
3330s	that we were watching on the grid had a
3332s	sense booster and then three paints if
3335s	correctly applied to the other team
3338s	would have been a really good way to
3339s	clear the Thalia and then the Deacon and
3341s	I think vter would have been in a much
3343s	tougher spot had they been able to kill
3345s	that Thalia and Deacon very very quickly
3347s	unfortunately because of a little axing
3350s	from zafin that didn't happen so it it
3353s	really did change the course of the
3354s	match but a hyena needs to be much
3356s	closer to be in web range so I'd say the
3358s	vigil is probably the correct choice in
3360s	this particular match we did also notic
3362s	some some pretty good piloting from the
3364s	logistics Pilots um and just honestly
3366s	the Vol team in general so we saw once
3368s	the um it was just down to the the
3370s	battleships those things have a lot of
3372s	projection they can still kill uh a lot
3374s	of the ships on the Vault side
3375s	especially with only one Logistics frig
3377s	we saw whoever was getting primary would
3378s	just turn and agel tactic fly away from
3380s	the thing that's shooting at you and
3382s	then the Deacon would hang around really
3384s	far away so basically they'd meet in the
3385s	middle bit reps come back in again and
3387s	force the abandons have to either you
3389s	know switch to really long range ammo
3390s	and try and project through a deacon or
3392s	switch to something closer and then they
3393s	would start to swap around again yeah I
3395s	I think that's correct but one of the
3397s	issues um that really helped vulture as
3399s	well it seemed like the abens at some
3401s	point one of them burn their prop um we
3404s	saw one of the abandons burning up
3405s	towards the vter team the n man like you
3407s	said was burning away to try and reduce
3409s	the amount of damage and survive as long
3411s	as possible and give the single Deacon a
3412s	chance to continue repping it the other
3415s	abadon unfortunately was sitting BAS
3416s	basically 10 and something km away at
3418s	the bottom of the Arena sorry you can't
3420s	see my hand gestures but I'm talking
3422s	with my hands um sitting at the bottom
3424s	of the Arena unable to actually project
3427s	likely unable to lock because they lost
3429s	their links early on um and you know the
3431s	links would have run out within 60 to
3434s	120 seconds since those ships went down
3437s	so yeah we can actually take a quick
3438s	look at some information about how
3440s	Target paints work so let's see if we
3442s	can uh we can throw that up and we'll
3443s	kind of talk over it so this is Target
3445s	painting so you have to try and shoot a
3447s	ship and they have a basically a
3448s	signature radius it's how big they are
3450s	if you target paint them it makes them
3451s	feel like they're basically really big
3453s	and that means that if your weapons are
3454s	struggling to hit because for example
3456s	the ship is too small a deacon is a
3458s	great example they are very very tiny
3459s	ships so your uh missiles benefit from
3462s	this guns benefit from this for tracking
3464s	purposes it just makes it so much easier
3465s	to apply that damage it's why Target
3467s	paints uh are so important in a
3469s	composition like this um some would even
3472s	say one of the most important ewar
3473s	things you can bring to a specific comp
3475s	Target paints really
3477s	important yeah yeah starting analysis
3480s	yeah thank you so much I'm so glad all
3483s	right let's head over to our next match
3484s	and look at the banss for white squall
3485s	versus unspoken Alliance so white squall
3488s	Banning out the Armageddon the Loki the
3489s	alligator and the abadin uh and unspoken
3492s	Banning out the typhoon Fleet the FX
3494s	Navy the molus and the celestus uh black
3497s	bar pirate turn time to hear from you
3499s	this time so what do you think about
3500s	these
3501s	bands well you're not black I think you
3505s	just little little mistake here from
3509s	white
3509s	squall who didn't ban the Nighthawk uhoh
3512s	they half listened when I said ban the
3514s	Nighthawk and the alligator if you don't
3516s	want to face the unspoken comp and they
3517s	went we're going to ban the alligator
3519s	and leave the Nighthawk in so I'm
3520s	expecting we're just going to see the
3521s	same unspoken comp but with nth Hawks
3523s	instead of alligators yeah I will say um
3526s	I think the alligators are better well
3527s	it's weird because we saw we saw it a
3529s	bunch in the feeders as that people were
3530s	doing Gators you saw it in uh anger
3531s	games 6 that you know the the Florida
3533s	man comp I think we've been seeing that
3535s	people that are running the sort of
3537s	alligator Shield Rush es comps are doing
3540s	a really good job because it uh the
3541s	alligator gives you such a it's much
3543s	more versatile right you can say oh
3545s	maybe we shouldn't rush in but we can
3547s	still put our drones in and do a ton of
3548s	damage so um I do think that you know
3551s	yeah if they didn't want to get Shield
3552s	rushed you probably shouldn't have
3554s	banned the alligator you should have
3555s	banned the Nighthawk but in this
3556s	specific case I actually like the
3558s	alligator banned better than the
3559s	Nighthawk um I think that it really the
3562s	alligator just gives the shield rush so
3563s	much more utility instead of just
3565s	something where you're like oh they're
3567s	going to charge at us and shoot us it's
3568s	like ooh the alligator can sit out in
3570s	the back and do a little bit of we've
3571s	seen them like take down like a deacon
3573s	before they rush in and it's been very
3574s	powerful I think it's a case so you
3575s	should just ban both I think Banning
3578s	both really does limit unspoken ability
3580s	to bring the comps that they've been
3581s	bringing so far that they're comfortable
3583s	with um and it would force them to
3584s	either make adjustments that are not as
3586s	good for that for their comp like
3588s	bringing a claymore instead um or they'd
3590s	have to bring a different comp entir yep
3592s	I mean I am a big fan of um the the
3594s	Nighthawk Loki uh now alligator also
3597s	included uh rushia I think is very
3598s	strong uh I think it's also one of those
3600s	comps that a good team should know how
3602s	to beat pretty much any team that's
3604s	bringing it with whatever comp otherwise
3606s	your comp should just be thrown away
3607s	Bart you say this a lot I think it's
3608s	super important yeah if like look if you
3610s	can't beat a shield Rush with your setup
3613s	don't fly that setup um and that is like
3615s	literally that's the evolution of like
3616s	the medium gun spam uh some of these
3618s	Battleship setups but like we know that
3621s	Shield Rush is in everybody's pocket
3622s	it's been incredibly good for years now
3624s	if your comp cannot beat Shield rush and
3627s	you're like there's nothing we can do
3628s	and it like especially even if it's one
3629s	where it's like if we can't beat Shield
3631s	Rush unless we play absolutely
3633s	perfectly trash get rid of it mhm all
3636s	right let's head over to the arena for
3637s	white squall versus unspoken
3642s	Alliance welcome back to the arena my
3644s	name is fav joined by Ali Aris and we
3646s	are getting ready to go with white
3647s	squall bringing medium guns spam what
3649s	have unspoken brought unspoken Alliance
3652s	have brought an armor control setup they
3654s	have a Navy Armageddon they have two
3656s	ships that are going to be a little bit
3657s	of a problem for the white squall setup
3659s	that's the arbitrator and the crucifier
3661s	both ships hopefully brought tracking
3663s	disruptors if they did then white squall
3666s	ships aren't going to be able to use
3667s	their flexible longer range they're
3669s	going to have to get in close and put in
3671s	some damage on the unspoken Alliance
3673s	team that said those two bombers on the
3676s	unspoken Alliance side those aren't
3678s	going to be able to hit the white squall
3679s	ships as well as otherwise it looks like
3681s	unspoken might have been thinking that
3682s	white squall was going to bring more of
3683s	a battleship setup perhaps even their
3685s	flag Bal Gorn
3687s	yes unspoken has already lost their uh
3690s	Flagship their flag Bel Gorn ended up
3692s	losing uh earlier on in the tournament
3695s	now they're bringing what is new to them
3697s	a drone control setup as white squall
3699s	they've brought Shield medium gun span
3700s	but have not brought the armor variety
3702s	yet this tournament we are now underway
3704s	in the match and white squall are making
3706s	Bart Proud by beginning to burn in as we
3708s	had 100 km warps to start off this match
3711s	yeah and they absolutely have to be
3712s	doing that you can see those tracking
3713s	disruptors have been spread across all
3715s	of their ships
3716s	uh those tracking disruptors they're
3717s	going to give those ships less range
3719s	potentially less ability to track the
3722s	smaller ships uh and unspoken Alliance
3724s	is starting to immediately take out uh
3727s	Hillary kenal in the r Riva who's
3730s	definitely a terrifying pilot from the
3732s	white s side yeah had a really good
3733s	performance with his arm in the first
3735s	match uh of course that uh one to zero
3738s	victory over genan impact Alliance uh
3740s	that said uh the Trigg leine rep now
3743s	currently spooling on Slim Jim Tim as
3745s	the Riva seems to be uh under no massive
3748s	threat at the moment it seems that the
3750s	aard of yabi is the tackle and maybe
3752s	primary from unspoken Alliance but uh
3754s	these drones you take a look at the
3756s	attack bar it's about even for both
3757s	these teams and unspoken are applying
3759s	damage quite a bit more considerably at
3761s	the moment as I say that though they're
3762s	under this hound and trying to take out
3765s	these Torpedoes yeah again those hounds
3768s	they're uh they're not
3770s	particularly big damage but they also
3772s	aren't particularly big tanks so taking
3774s	them out will be able to really light up
3776s	the damage that's coming on yabi yabi is
3778s	dipping into low armor even though the
3781s	Riva of Hillary is repping yabi as hard
3783s	as they can it's not enough to they they
3786s	spooled the rep way too late Hillary uh
3788s	in a little bit of a lapse of
3790s	Consciousness or perhaps uh the started
3791s	was just too far out uh unable to get
3794s	yabi spooled up on the Reps and they end
3796s	up losing First Blood over to unspoken
3798s	Alliance we see how they uh match has
3801s	kind of devolved into an allout brawl we
3803s	see this Harbinger Navy issue Omen
3804s	Buck's Navy issue MERS
3806s	all on top of this armagon Navy issue
3808s	that is the primary and they're doing
3810s	exactly as Bart says all the time I'm
3812s	going to keep saying that just Ram in on
3814s	top of these battleships you have the
3816s	close-range DPS your attack bar is
3818s	absolutely massive and they're applying
3819s	that damage quite well and it's a Race
3821s	Against Time because those as they're uh
3824s	applying all that damage to Jason fler
3825s	and the drones have come for the Riva uh
3828s	unspoken Alliance trying to take out the
3830s	lodgy without having to get any of their
3833s	ships out into that spot Beyond uh where
3835s	White Squall or defending now the Navy
3837s	Armageddon obviously going to be have uh
3840s	those heavy drones uh the EOS also going
3843s	to have that as well as the Ishtar but
3845s	everything else uh on this squad not
3847s	really a threat to these medium ships of
3849s	course the hounds while torpedoes do a
3851s	lot of damage just are not going to
3852s	apply uh even with a handful of paints
3856s	as we see this Navy BRX is holding from
3858s	the Riva reps right now despite the
3859s	damage coming in uh from these HS and
3862s	this Navy Armageddon who is now very low
3863s	armor about to go into structure as to
3866s	say that though the buck Navy issue
3867s	might start breaking the Riva reps just
3869s	not spooling fast enough this is going
3871s	to be a little bit close yeah it's very
3874s	tough the Riva It's a Good Ship it's
3875s	been spooling on Slim Jim Tim for as
3877s	long as it can you've got a very good
3878s	ability to overheat that rep but even
3880s	with that the tech one logi not as good
3882s	as the
3883s	zarz yeah and of course uh the zarz not
3887s	banned out this particular match but
3888s	they decided to take this Riva again
3890s	Hillary just unable to save yabi or slim
3892s	jim Tim but they will get this Navy
3894s	armagedon it is in D structure and with
3896s	that it is all that n pressure off the
3899s	field for them and perhaps Riva can get
3901s	their reps on a little bit harder uh now
3904s	heila in the Navy harbringer is the
3905s	primary uh from this unspoken Alliance
3908s	side yeah unspoken Alliance just trying
3909s	to do everything they can do to cut down
3911s	the incoming damage on the white squall
3913s	side a lot of these medium guns spam no
3916s	the The Harbinger Navy issue it dies
3918s	pretty much immediately this Navy
3919s	Armageddon is actually staying alive way
3921s	too long despite the commitment coming
3923s	in from white squall and the Navy
3925s	Armageddon dies but they end up trading
3927s	three ships for one white skull are
3929s	absolutely running out of DPS we see the
3931s	attack bars are about even between the
3933s	two teams right now and the application
3934s	doesn't matter about those torps right
3936s	now because the Riva has been able to do
3938s	absolutely nothing this match yes the
3940s	NES are out but this Omen it's not tanky
3943s	enough the Riva just isn't repping
3945s	enough honestly and a big difference
3947s	here between the unspoken Alliance side
3949s	and the white scho side is the control
3950s	bar unspoken Alliance they still have
3952s	that control bar they with even with the
3954s	Navy armag getting down they still have
3955s	the cruci fire they still have the
3956s	arbitrator you've been seeing those
3958s	tracking disruption sides across the
3960s	white Squall line those are really
3962s	impacting the ability of those ships to
3964s	put out the big damage that they're
3965s	known for meanwhile the crucifier on the
3967s	white squall side yeah sure there's a
3969s	tracking disruptor on the Magus but even
3971s	without looking I can bet you that that
3973s	Magus does not have guns fit yeah but
3975s	look at the defense bar from both these
3977s	teams you can see pretty much half of
3979s	the totally HP white squall brought is
3981s	gone and that purple part which
3983s	represents the active rep just isn't as
3986s	big as unspoken Alliance who have quite
3989s	a lot of rep power in that aneros uh and
3993s	with the damage drones on in this Omen
3994s	they're breaking the Riva reps once
3996s	again I just I'm not sure this Riva pick
3999s	was right for them it's tough because
4001s	it's one of those points things right so
4003s	the zarm has it's a lot of points the
4004s	onos is 32 the zarm is 34 if you were
4008s	going to upgrade that Riva to his arm
4010s	you'd have to downgrade some of these
4012s	other ships these medium gun span comps
4014s	they're usually putting as many of
4015s	points as they can into damage and
4017s	that's what they've done here it's just
4019s	that the unspoken Alliance team even
4020s	though this is more of
4022s	a comp that has a lot of potential for
4024s	control it has these drones it has two
4026s	ships that are dedicated to control
4028s	pretty much exclusively those bombers
4030s	actually the damage is pretty
4032s	significant in this case and it's able
4034s	to overwhelm the T1 logy so what white
4037s	squall needed to do here is they needed
4038s	to trade things out we saw them try to
4040s	do that by getting down Jason and the
4042s	Navy Armageddon taking away that burst
4044s	damage that control all all that good
4046s	stuff but it just wasn't enough and uh
4050s	now they're on to the Riva and Hillary
4052s	had a great tournament thus far just
4054s	unfortunately has uh not been able uh to
4057s	have much of an impact this match a lot
4059s	of that came from those armag gun Navy
4060s	NES uh obviously keeping the Riva at Bay
4063s	and uh getting the snowball started onto
4065s	that a stard day and um for white squall
4068s	they made top 16 they got prize ships
4070s	unspoken Alliance uh likely to move on
4073s	now into the top 12 uh this isn't
4076s	elimination match but all these teams
4077s	have prize ships now they are all
4079s	winners in our hearts indeed and I mean
4082s	everyone here uh we talked about this a
4083s	little bit last weekend everyone here
4085s	had to play in through a qualifier
4086s	except for the people who made the top
4087s	four last time uh so many of these teams
4090s	have already defeated a bunch of already
4093s	other teams to get here and indeed uh
4096s	Whit Sall into the
4097s	top yeah unfortunate for them ending
4100s	their run here but uh definitely a very
4102s	good showing their first tournament was
4104s	last year they went out I believe in the
4107s	second rounds one O2 to uh Brave
4110s	knocking them out of the tournament if I
4111s	remember correctly I might be wrong um
4114s	but that said uh still very good showing
4117s	for them very strong uh ideas coming
4120s	from their comp Design This tournament
4122s	um obviously this Riva didn't work out
4125s	quite well enough for them but uh this
4127s	time around uh still uh a lot to take
4131s	away from this tournament and a lot to
4132s	be happy about yeah honestly I think the
4134s	Riva pick could have been fine here uh
4136s	it's just that the tracking disruptors
4138s	the tracking disruptors from the
4139s	arbitrator from the crucifier we've been
4141s	seeing so many people when they bring
4142s	this medium gun spam setup they're
4144s	bringing it with with with these
4148s	disruptors banned here we only
4150s	see here we don't see any of the
4153s	tracking disruption ships band we just
4154s	see The Damp ships band uh unspoken
4157s	Alliance said great I'm going to bring
4158s	the arbitrator I'm going to bring the
4159s	crucifier these are the ships of
4160s	Alliance tournament 20 and they're going
4162s	to be on grid and they did what they've
4164s	been doing in so many of these match if
4166s	they weren't here white squall maybe
4168s	they could have traded something out
4169s	maybe the Riva could have just provided
4172s	enough of a speed bump in hit points to
4175s	make the trades work fortunately uh for
4177s	them didn't work out but once again
4179s	congratulations to unspoken Alliance we
4180s	can talk a little bit about this drone
4182s	control setup we've been seeing a lot
4183s	more of these starting in feeders uh
4186s	this single Armageddon or now Armageddon
4187s	Navy issue plus EOS and a bunch of other
4190s	drones plus the controlling ships what
4192s	do you make of this comp in this
4193s	tournament this comp is definitely one
4195s	of the strong control setups in this
4196s	tournament uh with the drones you don't
4198s	really care as much about the tracking
4200s	disruptors and we saw this we saw this
4202s	earlier today we've seen this previously
4204s	uh in fact in the kickoff match frat
4205s	versus till doomsday till doomsday
4207s	brought a drone control setup and just
4209s	dodged a whole bunch of ewar the fact
4211s	that the drones can act independently
4214s	from the ships that they're being
4216s	launched by really gives that comp a
4218s	great deal of strength and lets these
4220s	comps have this kind of inevitability to
4224s	you fit I also their armor comps they
4226s	get more mids for control which is great
4229s	and uh those control modules uh still
4232s	can only be fit onto bonus ships for
4234s	them but uh bring enough of them in a
4237s	medium gun spam you end up having a
4239s	draft like this and uh they flew up very
4241s	well they only end up losing the NR
4242s	mcgeddon as the rest of the team was
4243s	able to split off and as the smaller
4246s	goes down to white squall we say goodbye
4247s	to them in Alliance tournament 20 and
4250s	unspoken Alliance moving on to the top
4252s	12 do you have any final thoughts before
4253s	we send it back to the desk not all well
4255s	on both teams uh and great great showing
4259s	we'll be right back after this
4310s	unspoken Alliance defeating white squall
4313s	there and knocking them out of the
4314s	tournament but at the cost of their
4316s	Flagship I think I do believe that was a
4318s	flagship that died I'll get some
4320s	confirmation on that a little bit later
4322s	um so mystical might interesting set of
4325s	comps we had basically medium gun spam
4327s	going into drone kite with a couple of
4329s	bombers now bombers normally great
4331s	against battleships struggle sometimes
4333s	against medium gunsan but we saw in that
4335s	case uh they did manage to break the AAR
4337s	the other team seem to go all in on the
4339s	gon Navy in fact moderator welcome to
4341s	the desk let me come to you how did that
4342s	match go for you well I really thought
4345s	that the medium gun spam team would be
4347s	able to you know send some of their
4349s	Omens or some other you know lighter
4350s	ships after you know an arbitrator go
4353s	after a bomber and it really felt like
4355s	they spent the entirety of um their time
4358s	really just kind of tunnel vising on
4360s	this Armageddon and by the time they did
4361s	that they lost their start they lost so
4364s	much damage that it's like okay yes you
4367s	got the kill but at what cost and these
4370s	sort of matches really when you're in
4371s	the medium gun SP gun spam you're
4373s	playing to trade right you're trying to
4375s	out trade the side and if you lose two
4376s	of your really core Mainline chips
4378s	especially with the links right in an
4380s	arbitrator against the geta Navy it's
4382s	just not going to go for you yeah and
4385s	twitch chat uh correcting me uh as they
4387s	are want to do uh it was not a flagship
4389s	they already lost their Flagship Bal gor
4391s	and I believe it was a bit of a poverty
4394s	fit balg that was already uh already
4396s	lost so sorry twitch chat jeez all right
4399s	so on that last match we saw uh doing
4401s	some good work against the medium gun
4402s	spam there was an arbitrator and a
4404s	crucifier mystical m why would they be
4406s	so important yeah so tracking disruptors
4409s	are something that we see teams really
4411s	wanting to ban out this year there are
4413s	two different forms of disruption there
4414s	is the tracking disruptor which affects
4417s	guns and turret like turret based weapon
4419s	systems and then we have gu guidance
4422s	disruptors which will affect missiles um
4425s	effectively you are able to load them
4426s	with two different scripts you will have
4428s	one that reduces the range of the weapon
4430s	or there is one that will reduce the
4432s	ability for that weapon to apply so R
4434s	ruin the tracking basically Al um so in
4438s	this particular case you were mentioning
4439s	the two hounds actually earlier one of
4441s	the reasons that hounds can struggle
4443s	against medium gun spam is that
4444s	typically they have decent range and
4446s	decent tracking uh especially the
4448s	further away from things you are the
4450s	better you will generally apply to
4451s	things provided it's in your range the
4454s	hounds were able to actually survive for
4455s	quite a while because the tracking
4457s	disruptors would be lowering the range
4459s	on the weapon systems that they were
4460s	using so instead of hitting out to let's
4462s	say about 70 with decent ammo like iron
4465s	which also gives you a tracking bonus
4466s	and they'd be probably hitting out to
4468s	about like 50 or or or 40 or even lower
4470s	depending on how many tracking
4471s	disruptors were actually applied so by
4474s	pairing generally squishy ships that
4477s	like to sit really far back with ships
4479s	that can effectively reduce the range of
4482s	the enemy team it means that you're able
4483s	to keep those ships alive and they pump
4485s	out damage continuously over the match
4487s	especially into something like a battle
4488s	cruiser hole which with one or two
4490s	target painters means that the Torpedoes
4492s	that are coming out from the hounds are
4493s	actually going to be doing the Lord's
4495s	work as it were the Lord work I believe
4497s	we have an infographic to show about um
4500s	the uh track and disruption um which I
4502s	think we can throw up on the screen here
4504s	we go weapon disruption so as
4507s	mystical mentioned uh there are two
4509s	different types of weapon disruption
4510s	obviously you have guidance um for
4512s	missiles and you have uh ones for
4514s	turrets uh you can do things like reduce
4516s	their range reduce their ability to
4518s	track um uh missiles times and flight
4521s	things like that uh it just becomes
4523s	annoying because you theat crafted okay
4525s	we need to be at this range to do
4526s	maximum damage uh and that allows us to
4528s	kite away blah blah blah all the fancy
4530s	stuff then you turn up and suddenly all
4532s	those ranges have changed so the way you
4534s	fly the match has to change the way you
4536s	position yourself has to change and of
4538s	course um some teams will not just leave
4540s	tracking guidance disruption damps that
4542s	kind of stuff on one ship they'll
4543s	actually move it around so you see this
4545s	a lot especially with damps they force
4547s	ship to go really far away uh and then
4549s	damp it forcing it to come back in again
4551s	and then they catch it especially with
4552s	Logistics yeah one thing I was also
4554s	going to add because I don't think
4556s	either of us mentioned it is that it
4557s	these types of ewar are locked to ships
4560s	that have bonuses for them so you can't
4562s	put tracking disruptors on your Cyclone
4564s	Fleet issues for example I know Tusk is
4565s	very sad about that CU they did pioneer
4568s	an armor CFI setup I think that had just
4570s	tracking disruptors in the mids um you
4572s	can only use them with ships that have
4574s	bonuses to them so that's why we see
4576s	these arbitrator banss these pilgrims
4578s	these curses these Sentinels these
4580s	crucifiers These are the ships that can
4582s	use the tracking disruptors or the
4583s	guidance disruptors which makes them
4585s	very valuable yes I do remember uh we
4588s	used to see when you could fit eward to
4590s	pretty much any ship we used to see the
4591s	armor Jack do uh quite a lot because you
4593s	could just Ram uh ewar into the mids and
4597s	then just fly it around really far away
4598s	from everything just making everyone
4600s	very upset uh so I'm glad that thing is
4602s	dead because that thing was honestly
4603s	terrible H all right let's look at our
4605s	next match which is Rage Quit cancel sub
4607s	versus genjin impact Alliance and let's
4609s	take a quick look at the bands for
4612s	that all right R qup cancel s Banning
4614s	out the armor again the arbitrator The
4616s	Sentinel and the crucifier so the eore
4618s	we just talked about a lot of it being
4619s	removed uh genjin impact Alliance
4622s	bringing Banning out the sleer the Loki
4624s	the EOS and the arthurus moderator your
4626s	thoughts on these bands here so both of
4628s	the teams that we see in this match have
4630s	done a lot of a combination of three
4633s	Battleship core or um a combination of
4637s	you know double Battleship with some
4638s	control right and really what these
4641s	bands are getting at is getting at the
4642s	ability of the Armageddon to apply
4644s	control via NES right the arbitrator
4647s	just like Misty and you were talking
4648s	about right really heading at these um
4650s	ships and with these bands you can still
4653s	bring a curse you can still bring um the
4655s	pilgrim It's You Know cover Ops
4658s	equivalent but you have to spend 30
4660s	points a pop and really when you get
4661s	into these kind of Battleship um core
4664s	comps you start start to run out of
4667s	points very quickly and if you start to
4668s	want to bring like a curse or a pilgrim
4671s	maybe you can't bring three battleships
4672s	maybe you have to bring two and that's a
4674s	very uncomfortable situation to be in um
4677s	so that makes sense for me from Rage
4678s	Quit cancel sub genin however they're
4680s	banning out um a few different
4682s	compositions with this so the sleer
4684s	really gets at the ability of like an
4686s	artillery longrange comp with the Loki
4689s	to web but the Loki and sleer also kind
4691s	of a common archetype ships in these
4693s	rushes right the Loki holds things down
4695s	the sleer gets in close and then punches
4698s	then you've got the EOS which is a
4699s	staple really of any sort of drone
4701s	control setup we've seen that used a lot
4703s	today earlier by fraternity uh genin
4706s	impact also notably uh another Chinese
4708s	speaking uh team that could be scrimming
4710s	with them and seeing something with that
4711s	and then you've got the orthus which is
4713s	been a staple of uh the sort of kiting
4716s	uh mid-range HML or even a rush setup
4719s	they're not incredibly expensive you can
4721s	just dump rapid lights or R heavy
4723s	assault missiles into them and just
4725s	really try to push out things with their
4727s	projection and pick apart lodgy pick a
4729s	part of low endend and maybe just not
4732s	wanting to deal with any of that so some
4734s	of these bands seem a lot more targeted
4736s	uh than some of the ones we've seen
4737s	before getting rid of tracking
4739s	disruption gets at some of these control
4741s	comp comps getting rid of Rush is
4744s	something that you want to do if you
4745s	really really are afraid of having your
4748s	control setup just get punched out yep
4750s	and uh both teams in this particular
4752s	matchup are going to be Fielding their
4753s	flagships a Vindicator and an Armageddon
4755s	Navy issue H it's worth noting we are
4757s	actually in the losers bracket still uh
4759s	so this is a a you know lose and go home
4761s	basically uh if you do not win you're
4763s	out of the tournament if you win you're
4764s	confirmed top 12 at this point which is
4766s	great that means you're going to get
4767s	some awesome ships um uh but with
4770s	flagships on the field this could be a
4772s	spicy one so let's head over to the
4776s	arena hello everyone and welcome back to
4779s	the arena my name is Ali ARS joined by
4781s	fear vinet for Rage Quit cancel sub
4783s	versus gship impact Alliance we have a
4786s	battle of the flagships here Rage Quit
4789s	cancel sub has their Vindicator backed
4791s	up by Redeemer onos celestus and some
4794s	other including Amal so some good
4796s	control some ability to try to control
4799s	what genin impact can do fear what have
4801s	genin impact brought well they have
4802s	brought dual rapid heavy armagedon Navy
4804s	issue alongside their Flagship armagedon
4806s	Navy issue from Sailor uh this is very
4808s	similar to the comp that they brought
4810s	against white squall in their first
4811s	match where they uh ended up losing 1 to
4814s	zero this time they have brought the
4816s	full 200 points uh and they also have a
4819s	very powerful curse uh it's going to be
4821s	interesting to see how the ewar battle
4823s	plays out with that celestus molus
4824s	versus this CS who can make a Vindicator
4827s	really really unhappy indeed and uh this
4831s	Vindicator will not be able to run will
4833s	not want to run away and kite the entire
4835s	match out instead this Vindicator wants
4838s	to get up close and apply void directly
4840s	to the enemy
4842s	hole with that said the match is
4844s	underway they'll be looking for an
4845s	opport Rage Quit cancel sell will be
4847s	looking for an opportunity to bring this
4848s	Vindicator of debugged bear they do have
4851s	some more DPS in the form of the
4852s	Redeemer that control though those damps
4855s	immediately going on to the aimu and the
4857s	pontif effect probably looking to
4859s	prevent some of those light drones from
4861s	coming over as well as the uh Navy
4863s	Armageddon prevent that initial volley
4865s	from coming looks like uh genin impact
4867s	Alliance have dropped centuries here
4869s	yeah they dropped centuries out of their
4870s	armag navies but immediately picked them
4872s	back up uh interesting to see damage
4875s	drones out of a dual rapid heavy setup
4877s	uh typically with that type of setup
4879s	you'll see a full flight of heavy rep
4881s	Bots uh they did scoop the drones back
4883s	up though so we'll see how they continue
4885s	with that as the teams just continue
4886s	jocking for bus by that I mean just
4888s	burning in yeah right now both teams are
4891s	sort of like looking for an opportunity
4893s	and they are burning in but it's a
4895s	little bit slow so R cancel sub sort of
4897s	burning sideways while genjin impact
4900s	Alliance not eager to repeat their 1 nil
4903s	loss to white squall have are just
4905s	burning in heading in and looking to do
4908s	things you can see those damps are
4909s	really affecting the gench and impact
4910s	Alliance team those are going to prevent
4912s	those battleships from locking
4914s	particularly far meanwhile the tracking
4915s	disruptors are going onto the Vindicator
4917s	and the Redeemer so those ships are not
4918s	able to bring their guns to Bear
4920s	particularly not when they're very close
4922s	now as long as both teams have their
4924s	links the damps they're a problem but
4927s	they're not a big problem watch out for
4929s	the Ponte effectes on both sides though
4931s	because if the pontif effect goes down
4932s	for gench and impact Alliance the damps
4934s	get a lot better heavy DRS and various
4937s	others haveu actually been dropped onto
4938s	this Confessor who had burned in uh got
4941s	tackle onto the samam Arvin genon and a
4943s	little bit onto the ash Mo but but is
4945s	now tackled up himself scrammed on auson
4947s	on the nav Armageddon uh but now this
4950s	Confessor under a myriad of drone damage
4952s	we'll see if they decid to clip the
4953s	rapid Heavies onto him as the other
4955s	Confessor starts burning in here as well
4957s	yeah those rapid Heavies you they they
4959s	can do some good damage but uh you great
4961s	thing about the tech 2 Lodi in this case
4963s	uh Rage Quit cancel sub very happy that
4965s	genin impact Alliance doesn't have dams
4966s	because that onos is able to stay hang
4968s	back give some reps to that Confessor
4970s	who assuredly is in defensive mode and
4973s	just turtling up and tanking as best as
4975s	they can meanwhile the isimu of luu has
4978s	gotten tackled uh not super close to the
4981s	vindicators this isn't a this isn't a
4982s	Vindicator situation but uh we are
4985s	seeing some damage start to come in on
4986s	it yeah it's uh some damage but really
4991s	nothing to break anything quite yet I
4993s	mean the ashamu uh has reps from Dual
4996s	Deacon so it will eventually die unlike
4998s	being under that anos RP right but the
5001s	curse has been completely untouched it's
5002s	still able to get this tracking
5003s	disruption on The Vindicator Redeemer
5005s	which means that it's not going to apply
5007s	very well maybe not be even in range of
5009s	this ashamu if the ashamu is able to
5011s	pull away indeed that ashamu by the way
5013s	is webbing Down debuging The Vindicator
5016s	so the reason why rage qu cancel sub
5017s	wants to get this ashamu down is once
5019s	they get this ashamu down then The
5021s	Vindicator can just do whatever the heck
5023s	they want damping out the ashim not
5025s	likely to be effective again as long as
5027s	those pontif effect reps are available
5029s	so genin impact coming onto the Hound
5032s	because the Hound is honestly the best
5033s	range DPS that Rage Quit has yeah I mean
5038s	they don't appear to have taken guidance
5041s	disruption this seems to be a full
5042s	tracking disruption curse uh teching
5044s	into the likelihood of a Vindicator
5046s	Flagship uh I do like this call however
5049s	the Hound uh still going to apply pretty
5051s	much fully to these Navy Armageddon and
5054s	unfortunately has not really had the
5056s	opportunity to be tackled by get impact
5059s	Alliance so The Hound's able to run away
5060s	and continue applying Torpedoes directly
5062s	to the face indeed meanwhile uh out the
5065s	Punisher of WEA Jo has come into range
5069s	of the vindicator's webs now the
5070s	tracking disruptors are doing a very
5072s	good job of keeping this Punisher alive
5074s	but the Punisher is not moving that
5076s	speed is nine so I would also like to
5079s	point out the N battle that's been going
5080s	on uh right we've seen a lot of nosas
5082s	being put out onto these na armagedon on
5084s	the simu but all the while uh the curse
5087s	medium NES and the Navy armagedon issues
5090s	uh heavy NES have been spread all across
5092s	this red side where quit cancel Subs
5094s	starting to run out of capacitor they're
5096s	starting to run out of uh steam here and
5099s	their guns require that capacitor to be
5101s	able to uh be used at all uh meanwhile
5104s	the neros has been completely untouch
5106s	this match and thus is able to keep
5107s	things alive but if genj and impact
5109s	Alliance are able to get those new son
5111s	the and heroes then they might be able
5112s	to snowball this match pretty quickly
5114s	and you know Punisher falling into arm
5116s	punisher's down this is what happens
5118s	when you get two close to a Vindicator
5120s	those webs are absolutely deadly uh but
5122s	fortunately uh The Vindicator still hold
5124s	down and as you point out Fe those NES
5126s	they've been they've been applying
5128s	continuously for the last 5 minutes and
5130s	if that V that Vindicator needs that
5132s	capacitor in order to run not just the
5134s	guns but also those webs it seems like
5138s	they've just not been committing onto
5140s	anything maybe finally onto this
5141s	Redeemer as we see the rapid heavy Clips
5143s	come out um but again the anos has not
5146s	been capped out wait the
5148s	Hound The Hound's dead yeah that Hound a
5152s	major source of damage against these big
5154s	battle ship in the genin impact side so
5156s	we have damasus cadesh in the Redeemer
5158s	in half armor fighting for his life
5161s	meanwhile none of the genin all the
5163s	genjin impact battleships are all quite
5164s	comfortable and genjin impact they're up
5167s	one seven points to six if this match
5169s	continues genjin impact are currently in
5172s	the lead I mean the the curse just has
5174s	not been damped out at all you have a
5175s	celestus and you have a molus and you're
5177s	using all this onto the sash moon and
5178s	the name Armageddon but the curse keeps
5180s	keeping her Vindicator Redeemer from
5182s	doing anything from applying any damage
5184s	they have a little bit on Rus on saw
5186s	right now but uh even with just the
5188s	double deacons they're able to keep them
5190s	up and meanwhile they're starting to
5191s	lose their links this Ma just going down
5193s	pretty low but the aneros once again
5195s	clutch on the Reps and uh the Redeemer
5197s	of damasus cadesh the rapid heavy clip
5199s	says ended but the aneros hasn't been
5201s	ripping damasus Cades up at all which
5203s	means that these Navy Armageddon uh have
5206s	their pick up the litter when the clips
5207s	reload yeah this curse is in a very nice
5210s	position you mentioned the damps uh with
5212s	those Pon effectes alive the curse can't
5214s	get damped much lower than like 22 20ish
5217s	kilom and the curse is just sort of
5219s	sitting just a little bit back so yes it
5223s	I agree they should switch the damps
5224s	onto it but it might not I think they're
5226s	looking in they're saying like yeah it's
5227s	not worth it let's keep trying to keep
5228s	uh webs off The Vindicator webs off the
5230s	rest of our team that said whole rest of
5232s	the team is seriously in danger here
5235s	yeah well rouson saw about half armor as
5237s	well that's not the flagship nav armor
5238s	gun that one's being piloted by sailor
5240s	so uh the Viator and Redeemer finally
5243s	able to get on top and control space we
5245s	see the Redeemer actually going 0 m a
5247s	second briefly now three as this Navy
5249s	Armageddon also uh currently webbed and
5252s	grappled and under a lot of stress but
5254s	as I say The Vindicator webs end up
5256s	falling off and the ne again keeps on
5258s	trying to boat out of the way and that's
5259s	the power of these heavy nudes turning
5261s	this Vindicator web off giving a little
5263s	bit of breathing room for these Navy
5264s	Armageddon at this point if I'm the
5266s	vindicators The Vindicator is like right
5268s	next to the Navy arm again you can see
5269s	it on your screen uh at this point if
5271s	I'm in The Vindicator I am just like
5273s	control space and the only thing I'm
5275s	running is my guns just like inject guns
5278s	inject guns inject guns and you we can
5280s	see that Rus Anda low armor heading
5283s	towards structure both uh yeah double
5286s	Deacon here are not able to stay as far
5288s	away as that auros we can see one of
5290s	them is being tackled we haven't seen
5291s	NES from the Redeemer come onto them yet
5293s	possibly because the redeemer's out of
5294s	cap uh but it's a it's a tough space
5297s	meanwhile Hunter Hughes and the Magus
5299s	low armor yeah but Nexium has been
5303s	absolutely repping the living hell out
5305s	of Hunter Hugh in this Maes who has
5307s	stayed alive for way too long kind of a
5310s	bit of an overc committal from genin
5312s	Impact Alliance and the Mages is still
5313s	alive he's repping up now into onethird
5316s	armor one half armor as well and
5318s	meanwhile Navy Armageddon of Ron saw now
5321s	into low structure so all they needed to
5323s	do was stay alive after the hound and
5325s	the pisher go and now with the Navy
5328s	Armageddon gone Rage Quit cancel subar
5330s	firm control this match that is a huge
5333s	thing both that that if the trade had
5335s	happened if the Magus had gone down it'd
5337s	be a much closer game that maggus is
5339s	providing a whole bunch of survivability
5341s	as well as probably some links to help
5343s	make the uh the webs of that Vindicator
5346s	reach further out uh you keep up the
5349s	rest of the team but man losing the Navy
5351s	armag again not even quite trading it
5353s	out the Redeemer even recovering now
5355s	that that big Battleship DPS is down
5356s	this is huge yeah and uh it's
5359s	unfortunate when you take dual rapid
5361s	Heavies into battleships because you
5362s	cannot clip even with a flagship even
5366s	with officer guns even with officer uh
5368s	damage mods you cannot clip through uh
5371s	some of these tanky or battleships uh
5373s	immediately so you have to rely on
5375s	nuding out the Lodi or getting the Lodi
5377s	away and we saw xm2 now under pressure
5380s	from NES but uh basically completely
5383s	untouched for the start uh has to burn
5385s	in to get onto this Redeemer now but uh
5388s	really really smart play from nexum 2
5390s	staying out of range of the NES but
5392s	importantly being in range to rep the uh
5395s	much needed ships uh from wage kits
5397s	cancel sub they will lose the Redeemer
5399s	here which should put the points at 51
5402s	to 50 in favor of Rage quck cancel sub
5407s	nothing's going to keep these uh this
5409s	genjin impact Alliance team out of the
5411s	uh the close matches but as we say that
5413s	redeemer is hanging on and Fa I just
5414s	want to draw your attention to that
5416s	curse you mentioned the curse wasn't
5417s	damped well now the curse is you know
5419s	why because the Ponty is tackling it so
5421s	the curse has been completely damped out
5423s	of the fight tackled some like 50 km off
5426s	at this point that curse is no longer
5428s	able to bring the NES to bear and maybe
5430s	that's part of what's keeping damasis
5431s	KES alive as we say that though Damas is
5433s	down points equalized 4 seconds it's not
5437s	going to go to reverse tiedy it's
5439s	another one-point match loss for genin
5442s	impact Alliance they are out of the
5443s	alliance tournament and rage qu cancel
5445s	sub win by one point and move on to the
5448s	top 12 we're going to take a quick break
5450s	when we return the dusk will break that
5452s	down we'll be right back after this
5482s	like and there you have it so genin
5484s	impact Alliance they dropped that one by
5486s	one point one point it's the second time
5490s	they've done that in this tournament
5491s	their first match um they brought 199
5493s	points instead of 200 uh no one killed
5496s	anything uh and they lost one n uh this
5498s	time they did Kill stuff they did bring
5500s	the full 200 points very proud of you
5502s	there um but they lost by one point um
5505s	with that Redeemer going down took it 51
5507s	to 50 uh it looked like the Magus went
5510s	down just after the end of the match if
5511s	they killed that Magus maybe like five
5514s	seconds earlier I think than they would
5515s	have won uh but unfortunately it went
5517s	after the timer so the official score I
5519s	believe is 51 to 50 Rage Quit cancel sub
5523s	survive um to keep going down their skin
5525s	run mystical knight uh that was an
5528s	interesting matchup there we had two
5529s	flagships Flagship Vindicator we don't
5531s	see them very often um and by the range
5534s	that that thing was webbing stuff looked
5536s	like it was probably quite an expensive
5538s	web I imagine on that thing so break the
5539s	match down a little bit for me yeah it
5541s	it was a really interesting technical
5543s	match I think there were series of
5545s	potential misplays um but some also
5547s	really good plays as well from both
5548s	teams um there's a lot to pick apart but
5551s	I guess what I would focus in on is the
5555s	location of The Vindicator there was a
5556s	lot of movement and positioning going on
5558s	in the match we saw that the um genin
5561s	team was able to effectively kind of
5563s	keep The Vindicator at range and at Bay
5565s	for a little bit um at one point we saw
5567s	The Vindicator burning away from the
5569s	fight entirely it got to about 25 35 km
5573s	out and The Punisher burned in to keep
5575s	it pinned down to try and buy as much
5576s	time as possible with these things The
5579s	Vindicator has a very strong web um it
5583s	can web to 90% I think at maximum
5585s	without
5586s	Abyssal um which we do not allow in the
5588s	Lions tournament because it takes away
5589s	from the fun when purple things die um
5592s	so the Punisher will eventually go down
5594s	but when you pair the Punisher sitting
5596s	at about 9 km against a Vindicator that
5599s	is scrammed so it's not able to move
5601s	quickly and you put some tracking
5602s	disruptors on it it means that the
5604s	Punisher can last quite a while while
5606s	The Vindicator slow boats towards the
5608s	Punisher so I I thought the positioning
5610s	was fairly interesting another
5611s	interesting point was the curse um
5614s	playing around The Vindicator so imagine
5617s	this is the middle of the match middle
5619s	middle of the Arena uh they were both
5621s	spinning around the opposite sides to
5623s	ensure that the curse doesn't go down
5627s	but um I think the customers played in
5629s	terms of not getting on top of that
5631s	aneros faster if it had got on top of
5632s	the aneros I think that gen won that
5634s	match yeah I mean I think that's one of
5636s	the matches that um if you're new to the
5638s	L tournament you should definitely go
5639s	back and watch it has really good
5640s	examples of positioning and tactics and
5643s	uh just the way the teams were kind of
5645s	working together as a unit as you say
5646s	kind of moving around the curse was kind
5647s	of keeping himself opposite from The
5649s	Vindicator The Vindicator was trying to
5650s	get around without getting caught
5651s	himself it was a very interesting match
5653s	although it felt like it was like a back
5655s	and forward tug of war for a while and
5657s	the thing is um with the curse on field
5659s	the curse is basically um one of the
5661s	things that you least want to see as a
5662s	Vindicator uh it can really affect you
5664s	with uh his energy neutralizers
5666s	especially over uh a sustained period of
5668s	time which that match was let's take a
5670s	quick look about how energy neutralizers
5671s	actually work in Eve
5673s	online so it's very simple you have
5676s	capacitor it's like you're a space Mana
5678s	it lets you do stuff uh and if you have
5679s	none you can't do stuff which is very
5681s	sad very sad Vindicator so if you have
5684s	um very cap heavy stuff like blasters
5686s	prop mods Etc and then something like a
5688s	curse which can M from quite significant
5690s	range it giv a bonus to that ship to the
5692s	range uh it can just drain your uh your
5695s	capacitor down really quickly and
5697s	suddenly your Vindicator is not shooting
5698s	anymore it's just kind of stuck there
5700s	now you're probably able to fire
5701s	injectors and get some shots off every
5703s	now and then but the problem is with
5704s	curse having medium nutes they'll cycle
5706s	quite quick and it means it's very hard
5708s	to to balance it so very difficult and
5710s	as the match goes on your capacitor pool
5711s	gets lower and lower and lower the regen
5713s	of course is not uh linear there's like
5716s	a peak and once you get below that it's
5717s	really hard to recover from it yeah
5720s	again astounding analysis and
5723s	interesting enough so the curse here was
5725s	brought almost assuredly because we saw
5728s	that in draft right we were even po
5731s	pointing out that arbitrator Sentinel
5733s	and the crucifier were banned and maybe
5736s	some speculation that the curse the
5738s	reason that the curse was a little bit
5739s	slow to get to the o neros is that that
5741s	pilot might be more familiar with the
5743s	capability of the arbitrator feels like
5745s	the comp uh pick that they really wanted
5748s	and then when it was banned they're like
5749s	okay well I guess we have to bring the T
5752s	2 version of it and then maybe not
5754s	realizing that hey the confessors are
5757s	held down in the backline the confessors
5758s	did a really good job actually of trying
5761s	to go after uh the deacons and what that
5764s	Confessor did is it forced um some
5767s	tackle on those deacons and then with
5769s	damps really what you're able to do with
5770s	the celestus that they also had is you
5772s	can damp down the um deacons which are
5776s	held down in the backline and maybe
5779s	those deacons weren't able to you know
5780s	rep Rus Anda in that Armageddon Navy
5782s	issue and that's you know maybe not the
5785s	most intuitive way to think about the
5787s	way ew War works but once you kind of
5789s	stack things on top of each other you
5791s	would get the tackle you get the damps
5793s	it really is kind of the defining
5795s	Hallmarks of how do you win a control
5797s	comp right when you're in these top 16
5799s	top 12 matches now and just knowing that
5802s	you're going to run into a lot of armor
5803s	control if you're not able to understand
5805s	how that Mirror Works in depth and
5807s	really have the understanding of what
5809s	your win condition is and what you have
5811s	to do to execute and when that's the
5814s	difference right now between winning and
5815s	losing and like Misty and you said If
5817s	that onos had been you know nuded out by
5820s	the curse I mean and the onus is forced
5823s	to inject I mean that onus we saw he was
5825s	constantly having to split reps between
5827s	the Magus right and that Vindicator if
5829s	that Vindicator um you know goes down or
5832s	the Redeemer goes down that match goes a
5834s	different way and funnily enough we were
5837s	also noting that um you know genjin
5839s	impact uh instead of being one punch man
5842s	because they are weebs they were
5843s	onepoint man
5844s	when they brought those double
5845s	Armageddon Navy issues what ended up
5848s	happening is the point rule went into
5850s	effect right instead of being a 44 ship
5853s	it's a 45o ship now and if they had you
5856s	know maybe brought not double AI but
5858s	another
5859s	Battleship that match goes into overtime
5861s	right and we get sudden death and then
5863s	it looks like they were winning yeah I
5865s	think so um we have about two minutes
5866s	before our next match so let's take a
5867s	quick look at the bands so it's going to
5869s	be evasive maneuvering versus fraternity
5871s	and twitch chat tells me fraternity is a
5873s	small family Alliance and they need your
5874s	support So evasive maneuvering Banning
5876s	out the onos the Armageddon Navy the
5878s	Armageddon and the Loki fraternity
5880s	Banning out the isar the EOS they always
5881s	ban the Ishtar s and aloki mystical M
5884s	your thought on these bands heck drones
5888s	heck drones true real um okay I just see
5891s	something very interesting come up both
5892s	flagships are being fielded a lasack and
5894s	an armagedon Navy issue this is an
5896s	elimination match it is a best of one
5898s	this is for prize ships this is uh this
5900s	is important so let's just go to the
5901s	arena now and let the guys talk about it
5906s	welcome back to the arena my name is f
5907s	joined by Ali Aris and on the blue side
5909s	we have fraternity dot who are bringing
5911s	their Flagship Armageddon Navy issue in
5914s	a dual rapid heavy plus tracking
5916s	disruption comp what have evasa
5918s	maneuvering brought Evas maneuvering
5920s	have also brought their Flagship lasack
5923s	this time uh along with my uh Alliance
5926s	mate dark hedron's favorite ship the
5928s	Widow uh that Widow is here to play
5930s	Guardian for the lak you'll note the
5932s	fraternity knowing about the lasack they
5934s	brought that Sentinel arbitrator we saw
5936s	a lasack flag of bod fall to tracking
5940s	disruption and that's what the Widow's
5941s	for I'm guessing that Widow is stacked
5943s	with gold jams uh in order to jam out
5946s	that Sentinel and that arbitrator and so
5949s	fraternity if they can get that Widow
5951s	off the field they should be in a good
5953s	spot evasive maneuvering if they can jam
5956s	out the tracking disruption that L Shack
5958s	should be able to just run around spool
5961s	up on everything and wreck the those big
5964s	fraternity battleships I'm also going to
5966s	point out we have an industrial not
5968s	named the Squall in this match evasive
5971s	maneuvering have brought a naras for uh
5974s	used to be a badger but the naras also
5976s	makes sense for additional tracking uh
5980s	remote tracking computers or remote uh
5982s	sensor uh sensor computers so the remote
5986s	tracking computers are probably what
5987s	they've got in this one to help counter
5989s	uh this uh Sentinel and this uh
5992s	arbitrator from and as we see the track
5995s	disruption going out on this lak off the
5997s	start of the match but Pandy and fafy
5998s	waffy and the Maller just burning right
6001s	in on top of this typhoon Fleet issue
6003s	indeed and uh battle is join ewar
6005s	effects going out on both sides that
6006s	arbitrator uh is missile disrupting the
6010s	Navy Armageddon that's going to lower
6012s	the range at which those rapid Heavies
6014s	can be applied meanwhile the fleet
6015s	typhoon tackled down perspective first
6018s	primary uh but the jam and the jams have
6020s	actually gone out on the tackle which
6021s	makes a certain amount of sense if you
6022s	want to get your lasack in position
6023s	position you got to make sure that
6025s	nothing's going to tackle it off of
6027s	where it wants to be his armor up on the
6029s	malediction as well it burned in a
6030s	little bit the mer is tackled and uh
6033s	actually Mr caps and the zarm has
6035s	actually been swapping between the mer
6037s	and the malediction trying to keep them
6038s	both alive yeah it's really tough uh
6040s	both ships are very important uh but
6043s	we've just got a giant brawl at zero
6046s	here basically with battleships on both
6049s	sides being locked down lasack coming in
6052s	close uh currently track and disrupted
6054s	but uh it doesn't matter if you're only
6056s	6 km off R is going we can zoom in on
6059s	that right now uh unlike the tracking
6062s	disruption that came out on top of that
6064s	bod lasack this lak is spooling
6067s	perfectly fine on a typhoon Fleet issue
6069s	and again uh I I pointed this out the
6072s	start of the that it is due to this
6073s	narius which is full tracking computers
6076s	in the mids or remote tracking computers
6077s	in the mids keeping the lasack uh able
6080s	to spool out on top of these battleships
6082s	and the Widow doesn't do a whole lot of
6084s	DPS but it doesn't matter you have a lak
6086s	on your team you can punch through
6088s	literally everything including AAR asra
6091s	uh so the Z speaking of the zarm rep the
6094s	Widow has been attempting to damp the
6096s	zarm now the uh mollus or sorry Widow
6099s	Jam the Zas MLL damped the Zas and we
6101s	see that spool fall off of the fleet
6103s	typhoon this is a really tough spot for
6105s	the zarm if if they're jammed they can't
6107s	do anything about it if they're damped
6109s	now they have to wonder do I come in to
6111s	rep my friend and maybe get tackled or
6114s	do I stay far out here where I'm just a
6117s	34o brick and we see that rep go back on
6120s	jams have fallen off uh you know Widow
6122s	cycling jams among different things very
6124s	uh common strategy and we'll see if uh
6128s	that is going to be the the Difference
6130s	Maker because if that zarm as rep falls
6132s	off there's no reps on that side then
6134s	the uh the lasack poool should be able
6136s	to do a serious number on this typon
6138s	Fleet issue yeah I'm wondering where the
6140s	narius is actually positioned right now
6141s	we see the Widow positioned very far
6143s	back alongside that arbitrator in arm
6145s	just liting the L Shack I mean we're
6147s	seeing it right now on stream just
6148s	absolutely spooling on this typhoon
6150s	Fleet issue whing away at zero control
6153s	space and just Ram in with the lasack
6156s	and those rtcs uh helping massively
6159s	against this arbitrator and against uh
6162s	this Sentinel and as we see the flight
6165s	typhoon even though it's got those
6166s	armarm reps on top of it and the zarm
6167s	reps are spooling L Shack is spooling
6169s	harder they're off again though the zarm
6171s	like we can see it on the you can see it
6172s	just watch that little it's a it's a
6174s	sort of like funny Circle looking green
6176s	thingy uh and you'll see it appear and
6178s	disappear and appear and disappear and
6179s	every time it disappears that's because
6181s	the uh the zarm got jammed out but uh
6184s	forget that they've decided to just
6187s	quickly turn around snap the Magus lower
6190s	the amount of buffer the amount of
6193s	repping power that this team has yeah
6195s	and that Fleet typhoon already in the
6197s	structure let his arm go back on top of
6199s	it for a little bit a little bit longer
6201s	but yeah the lak uh doing lasack things
6204s	it is inevitable in this match despite
6207s	being tackled up uh actually The Tackle
6209s	mods are completely off of the lasack
6211s	but as we see just continually burning
6214s	and burning the disintegration Ray on
6217s	top of these ships in fact he's not even
6219s	on the fleet typhoon right now we saw
6220s	he's on he's on the fleet typhoon he's
6221s	on the fleet typhoon for sure yeah
6223s	they're like right next to each other
6224s	it's there going past it okay okay I was
6227s	like it that doesn't look like it's in
6229s	the fleet typhoon that looks like it
6230s	hasn't ped it but yeah no l Shack do
6232s	what L Shack do and once again thear no
6235s	longer on top of that Fleet typhoon Jam
6237s	lands uh they end up losing a
6238s	malediction for this but uh still once
6241s	that Fleet typhoon goes down it is just
6242s	the flagship armag get a Navy issue for
6244s	DPS or fraternity indeed and this lak
6247s	this is this is what you have to do to
6249s	make the leack flag work you have to
6251s	have enough of a structure around it
6253s	that this one ship can kind of come in
6256s	and carry particularly against other
6259s	large ships so particularly against
6260s	people like this Fleet typhoon the armag
6262s	Navy issue you know it's been taking a
6263s	long time to kill this Fleet typhoon
6264s	that's partly because you know the zarm
6266s	keeps coming back on repping it up you
6268s	see the lak's got smart bombs going
6270s	preventing any rep drones from really
6272s	getting in there and and helping the
6273s	zarm out uh but not only is the fleet
6275s	typhoon in in low armor but the pontif
6278s	effect is also in low armor those links
6279s	are absolutely critical to the
6281s	fraternity side in order to be able to
6283s	stand up to these ewar effects that pawy
6285s	goes down and it's down nobody's going
6288s	to be able to log anything on the
6289s	fraternity side down goes the fleet
6291s	typhoon and fraternity dot winners of
6294s	last year's at they made it into the top
6297s	16 however they will go no further being
6301s	knocked out by evasive maneuvering
6303s	captained by fafy waffy previously of
6305s	dark side uh a bit of a Russian super
6308s	team as we have heard several times now
6311s	and you know L Shack it's done all they
6314s	need to right they have the zarm as the
6316s	zarm as is completely and totally fine
6318s	can wrap up literally anything on this
6319s	team because the only damage left is
6322s	this one uh army gun Navy issue which is
6324s	scrambled it is damped and it is doing
6327s	absolutely nothing yeah those damps by
6330s	the way uh I I made a nice little chart
6332s	with pipa and now that that Pon effect
6335s	is down our friend the armagan Navy
6337s	issue can lock to maybe like 14 kilm
6341s	maybe you know somewhere between 20 and
6343s	14 so really all you need to do to be
6346s	able to neutralize fubuki in this comp
6349s	is just tackle them somewhere and then
6351s	go somewhere else yeah and even though
6354s	there's tackle on this Widow who has
6356s	been smart bombing off the the drones on
6358s	top of them I mean you've got a zarm
6360s	zarm is not under any n pressure it is
6362s	not under any damp pressure and uh
6366s	evasive maneuvering now just picking
6367s	apart this fraternity. comp uh some
6370s	damage onto the Sentinel onto the
6371s	Vengeance onto the Punisher uh really
6373s	they don't have to kill anything else
6375s	but uh they would probably like to kill
6377s	this Navy armagedon and get some uh
6379s	shiny loot to take back home indeed with
6381s	the fraternity being Pride Shi enjoyers
6383s	in fact winners from last year we can
6385s	certainly hope this Navy Armageddon is
6387s	going to be one of the uh more fancy fit
6390s	Navy Armageddon flagships we've seen in
6392s	this in this match uh and in fact the uh
6394s	the Armageddon Navy issue and uh pandies
6397s	lashek are are having a little Battle
6399s	Ship off like yes they could have
6401s	isolated uh fubuki and then come back
6404s	for later but no no no no no no if we're
6405s	going to kill this we need to set the
6406s	Little Shack on it spool it up we need
6409s	purple mods of course you do you got to
6412s	get as much value as you can of your
6413s	tournament run besides uh we talked last
6415s	week There's a 90% Loot drop going on uh
6417s	this is the main server this is the live
6419s	server so the same 90% loot jop that
6422s	people are enjoying in PvP in regular
6423s	space they're also enjoying that in the
6424s	arena you know it's Crimson Harvest but
6427s	blood Raiders aren't sponsoring this
6428s	tournament I don't know what the timing
6430s	of this is we show out a gist's event uh
6433s	CCP please uh regardless still spooling
6436s	on the Navy Army get an issue uh the
6438s	shack has some NES on top of it uh might
6442s	try to turn that spool for the time
6444s	being but again once the LI hits the jam
6447s	onto the Navy armagon then the NES are
6449s	off and L Shack's able to get his cap
6450s	back yeah exactly and the Widow honestly
6453s	mostly jamming out the armz because it
6455s	did take quite a while to kill the fleet
6458s	typhoon we only have two minutes left in
6460s	this match so while it's like oh yeah
6463s	it's over are they're kind of mostly
6465s	mopping up and you can see that no one
6467s	in the evasive maneuvering side has been
6469s	like seriously threatened in a while we
6471s	have some uh tackle coming on to Sky
6473s	kill Russian in the vexer the the low
6475s	end of fraternity is basically on a
6477s	small like PVP Ram to try to we have the
6480s	battleship fight and then we have the
6481s	small like PVP roam to try to kill
6482s	something more on the evasive
6484s	maneuvering side so like that narus is
6486s	oh finally I mean it did it job it gave
6489s	the rtcs to Shack it's it's still alive
6491s	though it's still alive like they're
6493s	zarm reps on the narus all right you
6496s	wish you had your logi all right on your
6499s	narius on TQ when you get caught like
6502s	this narus here
6507s	uh yeah it's uh it's definitely a rough
6510s	thing with uh narus got caught Vengeance
6514s	got got caught the this team is sort of
6516s	Defending uh that that important ship uh
6519s	meanwhile again that spool going onto
6521s	the Navy Armageddon Navy Armageddon
6523s	dipping into structure but we only have
6525s	one minute remaining here I want a shiny
6528s	kill mail our last match had flagships
6531s	that did not die we need a death of a
6534s	flagship uh Beyond just The Brave One
6537s	today uh Fuki Wu once again in structure
6541s	has some reps from various rep drones on
6544s	top as well as what I would assume is a
6546s	local rep for that armag get Navy issue
6548s	but is now dipping into about 50%
6550s	structure should go down in the last 30
6552s	seconds and thankfully the lak's right
6555s	on zero on top of the army got Navy
6556s	issue so is the merer so is the merer
6559s	everybody every team knows where their
6561s	bread is buttered they are uh just like
6563s	we saw you know every time we see a
6564s	flagship die you've got everyone just
6566s	coming close to spamming you open loot
6568s	open loot 10 seconds come on down come
6571s	on give us the content give us the
6575s	content kill Fuki waifu 4 seconds
6577s	remaining in the match three two one the
6581s	flagship getting lives all right and
6584s	with that fraternity are out they keep
6586s	their flag we'll be sending it back to
6588s	the
6590s	desk fraternity last last year's
6593s	defending Champions the champions of
6596s	Alliance tournament 19 are now
6598s	eliminated from Alliance tournament 20
6601s	mystical M mhm big fat L for you guys
6605s	it's fine we're just going to find their
6606s	Wormhole I'm going to get my revenge Rey
6610s	yeah it's fine it looked like uh luckily
6613s	the flagship did survive was very very
6615s	close we were shouting teleport it I I
6618s	was shouting for Swift I was like Swift
6620s	teleport it now yeah I mean sometimes
6622s	when these match go right to the second
6624s	um you sometimes see ships die after uh
6627s	the match we saw our Magus die a couple
6629s	matches ago just after the match has
6630s	ended does not count uh and usually we
6632s	reimburse those people but when it's
6634s	like a flagship that's presumably quite
6636s	expensive usually the refs are hovering
6637s	over the end match button to like
6639s	teleport them away as soon as that timer
6641s	is over to preserve uh the the flagship
6643s	because obviously trying to uh keep some
6646s	some Intel together would be quite
6647s	important for the teams but yeah I mean
6650s	what the heck happened there I mean that
6652s	was that was a great match uh that I
6653s	think that was probably V maneuvering um
6656s	that is probably their Alpha comp I
6657s	imagine that's that looks like a very
6659s	serious comp yeah I think especially
6662s	when you have a flagship Flagship
6665s	Shack um you want to be building your
6668s	comp around that uh just due to the
6670s	point cost but also the fact that it's a
6671s	fairly inflexible ship you can only
6673s	really bring it with an armor setup I
6675s	guess you could do a shieldless shack
6676s	wouldn't recommend it but um so you're
6679s	building your comp around the flagship
6680s	that you have because you want to be
6681s	making best use of it you can't really
6683s	it out so now that they've shown that
6685s	they will be pairing it with a z zad and
6689s	a widow it's likely that anyone else
6691s	going up against them is going to remove
6692s	at least one of those two ships I do
6694s	think you can still run the widow
6696s	without the zarm the guardian still puts
6698s	out a decent amount of reps and just due
6701s	to the fact that you can position your
6702s	Widow so far back you don't often need
6704s	to rep that much anyway it's just really
6707s	good when you're going up against drones
6708s	but we did see that they were running
6709s	their smart bombs pretty consistently on
6711s	both the lasack and the Widow which
6713s	tells me that they are pretty
6714s	comfortable and prepared to go up
6716s	against at least some of the Drone comp
6718s	that we've seen um in the eventuality
6720s	that a team tries to kind of cheese
6722s	their way around the uh the Widow yeah
6724s	it will be interesting to find out um if
6726s	this comp gets brought again under aarm
6728s	ban for example to see how it performs
6731s	uh I think you're right I think the zarm
6732s	ban is a good one against this type of
6734s	setup because it really does make them
6736s	have to kind of think are we going to
6737s	bring this or are we going to bring
6738s	something else but I mean we saw the
6739s	immense power of the Widow there on
6741s	display sitting at range bonus to ECM
6743s	strength it's one of the strongest uh
6745s	jamming ships in the game in terms of
6747s	just raw strength and of course uh the
6749s	way ECM works is like a taunt so you can
6751s	shoot the Widow but then you have a zarm
6754s	which can just spill on you and it was
6756s	interesting to see zarm versus zarm it
6757s	was kind of a bit of a a stalemate for a
6759s	little while and yeah spilling you know
6762s	spill is going to spill lots of spilling
6764s	in that particular matchup moderator so
6768s	people sometimes we talk about you're
6770s	having your battle Badger today we had a
6772s	battle nearest and for those of you in
6775s	chat who might not know why would I
6776s	bring a nearest well besides the ability
6778s	to fit you know capsticks in there it
6780s	cost a total of three points it also has
6782s	a total of uh five lows so you can
6784s	actually get a pretty good tank for a
6786s	hauler but most importantly you can put
6789s	a total of you know five mids slots
6792s	worth of remote sensor boosters so what
6794s	did we see going on that nearest the
6797s	entire time was just giving remote
6798s	sensor boosters to his support buddies
6801s	right so the idea is if a l Shack right
6804s	and I get jammed even once right that
6806s	means I have to repeat the whole process
6808s	right and to spool up completely in that
6810s	ship can take three three and a half
6812s	minutes so if you do that um you're in a
6815s	lot of trouble we saw what looked like a
6819s	again a ton of uh sensor boosting again
6821s	the Widow here is something that I think
6823s	that teams are going to have to start
6825s	Banning against evasive maneuvering from
6827s	here on out because this is a Lynch pin
6830s	kind of setup we saw um unspoken
6832s	actually or sorry till doomsday actually
6835s	knocked down fraternity uh into the
6837s	setup so fraternity currently 0 and2
6840s	against widows and I think that this is
6842s	really the difference that we see in
6844s	kind of these day three meta versus you
6847s	know the last week is that teams are
6848s	still starting to really have to say hey
6851s	I'm having to bring out my Alpha compa
6854s	because you're the previous winner
6856s	evasive maneuvering not wanting to have
6857s	to show that but they did mhm okay so
6859s	before we move on to our next match I
6860s	want to take a look at the player
6861s	profile so we have the profile of a guy
6864s	called Pandy now p is one of the the
6866s	members of aasa maneuvering and an
6867s	extremely experienced uh pilot in the
6869s	Lions tournament as you can see here is
6871s	flown in Dark Side Gorgon Empire
6873s	afterlife vidra reled when there were
6875s	multiple Alliance tournament champions
6876s	dark side again and now innovasive
6878s	maneuvering he likes to fly that lak
6880s	they have that Flagship lak this year
6881s	it's going to be I assume extremely
6883s	expensive this is a very experienced
6884s	team and look at that win loss record 53
6887s	wins to only 22 losses so extremely
6890s	experienced pilot in Alliance tournament
6892s	for many many years so I think evasive
6894s	maneuvering have to be one of the
6895s	favorites now to make it run to the
6897s	finals uh that was an excellent display
6899s	of of really top three three crafting
6901s	and execution we also have a Graphic on
6903s	uh Logistics I'm told so we can have a
6905s	we can throw that up and have a look at
6906s	that so this is logistics and uh this is
6909s	how it works it's basically like you're
6910s	a space priest and you get to make all
6912s	your friends feel better cuz you you
6913s	send in uh armor or Shield uh and the
6916s	cool thing about logistics is the way
6918s	that they work so Shield tends to well
6920s	tends to it always applies at the start
6922s	of the cycle whereas armor applies at
6924s	the end but of course you have us you
6925s	have better range on the armor so it's a
6927s	bit of a trade-off there and of course
6928s	you can see fall off as well with an AM
6930s	of healing uh decreases par cycle from
6933s	your favorite local uh space priest um
6936s	there's Logistics piloting in a line
6938s	tourn is probably one of the top skill
6940s	intensive things you can do in EV online
6943s	you only have one you're basically the
6945s	Lynch pin of a lot of comps if you feed
6947s	then that's it game over but if you are
6949s	good and we've seen some amazing plays
6951s	uh so far in this expent from some
6953s	really really top top tier Logistics
6957s	Pilots yeah just one thing I wanted to
6959s	add on to the infographic that we're
6961s	seeing here normal reps have the falloff
6964s	right like shield and armor reps but
6965s	with the Zam and the Riva you only have
6968s	optimal so you're either in rep range or
6970s	you're not but the benefit is that they
6972s	can rep out much further with that
6974s	optimal range than other Cruisers can
6976s	which is another reason why you would
6977s	see the arm fielded with a widow which
6979s	wants to sit very very far back there is
6981s	also remote Hull WS um nobody cares
6983s	about them to be honest if anyone brings
6985s	them then good luck I wish you all the
6987s	best but we'll probably see you in the
6988s	elimination bracket all right let's take
6990s	a look at our next B next match for the
6992s	bands is till Doomsday versus platinum
6993s	sensitivity so let's see what they are
6995s	choosing to ban out till doomsday
6997s	Banning out the Sentinel the mollus the
6999s	abadin and the Deacon uh and plant
7001s	Banning out the Armageddon Armageddon
7003s	Navy issue EOS and zarm so uh mral M
7006s	your thought here on these
7008s	bands no Armageddon Navy issues finally
7012s	yay um no I I think these are pretty
7014s	standard bands the EOS band makes sense
7016s	if you don't want to go up against drone
7017s	setups it's also a very flexible and
7019s	strong command ship in its own right
7021s	even in you know like uh double
7023s	Battleship or single Battleship um CES
7025s	we have the Zam which is obviously
7028s	something that we've just seen in the
7029s	previous match work really really well
7031s	um and then you've got your typical ew
7032s	War bands like the Sentinal models these
7034s	are all pretty standard bands I don't
7036s	really think it gives away the game too
7038s	much on what they want to be bringing I
7039s	don't know if you have any different
7040s	thoughts more yeah till doomsday I'm
7042s	seeing that in the second half they
7044s	banned the um the bat in here after they
7047s	saw that the initial Armageddon
7050s	Armageddon Navy had already been banned
7051s	and then they banned the Deacon so this
7054s	is something that I've mentioned already
7056s	is that uh these bands from you know
7059s	have to be very targeted at this point
7061s	um Platinum sensitivity seemed very
7063s	targeted and speaking of things that
7065s	might get targeted on grid I'm being
7067s	told that Platinum sensitivity they've
7068s	brought their Bal Gorn flag they have
7070s	indeed I watched the screen Amy mffm our
7073s	head referee who was relaying that
7074s	information was clearly having sort of
7075s	some sort of stroke as he was typing it
7077s	because it kept changing into different
7079s	different words but we got there PL
7082s	bringing a flagship Bal Gorn so let's
7084s	head over to the arena now and see how
7085s	that
7086s	goes oh dger yeah they hear you hello
7090s	everyone and welcome back to the arena
7091s	we have till Doomsday versus platinum
7093s	sensitivity Platinum sensitivity they've
7095s	brought a flag Bal Gorn with flag Bal
7098s	Gorn webs uh that flag Bal Gorn is going
7100s	to have to work overtime because fear V
7102s	what have till doomsday brought they
7104s	have brought a shield Rush with both a
7106s	Loki and an onyx the first time we're
7108s	seeing that bonus range web on the Loki
7110s	as well as the bonus heavy scram uh from
7113s	a heck ham Rush versus some heavy
7116s	Battleship core two battleships and then
7118s	a dger and that is pretty much all the
7120s	DPS on the table for platinum
7122s	sensitivity the match is now underway we
7124s	will see how till doomsday plays the
7126s	start of this match will they go back or
7127s	will they go in and it they chose to go
7130s	in they chose to go in
7133s	oh yeah yeah no platinum or till
7134s	doomsday absolutely going in Platinum
7136s	sensitivity they are backing up beep
7138s	beep beep they have both the Tempest
7139s	Fleet issue and the Bal Gorn out front
7141s	that Bal Gorn Kat in the Onyx actually
7143s	diving very quickly and not screened up
7146s	by this Bal Gorn could get the scram
7148s	onto this Balor to Fleet Tempest and
7149s	start saw scram go we saw that scram go
7151s	quickly all the members of platinum
7153s	sensitiv or all the members of till
7154s	doomsday are up on this Platinum
7156s	sensitivity Bel Gorn and unleashing
7158s	massive ham DPS into it and honestly
7161s	that's what they have to do this born is
7163s	the number one thing that is preventing
7164s	them from rushing all over everyone and
7167s	they were able to snag it get on top of
7168s	it and now it's just a DPS race can
7171s	Platinum sensitivity get their missiles
7173s	down and the you the arbitrators are
7175s	going to help a little bit but that
7177s	Nighthawk of uh ombre is actually the
7180s	Nighthawk of ombre is 27 km off the Bal
7182s	Gorn that Nighthawk might not be able to
7184s	hit the Bal Gorn certainly not with it
7185s	doesn't even matter it does not even
7187s	matter the rest of the DPS is all on top
7189s	of the Balor even with the Nighthawk not
7191s	there uh we see the Onyx got on top of
7194s	the Tempest Fleet issue as well so
7195s	should be able to keep that one going
7197s	even though the fancy UI doesn't show
7200s	the hick scram it is definitely on that
7202s	Fleet Tempest because it is not moving
7204s	very quickly at all the Bal Gorn webbed
7206s	up by the Loki as well and even though
7207s	they got this web on this Nighthawk it
7209s	just does not matter he is very very low
7212s	now about 20% armor remaining in the
7215s	flag Bal Gorn and the head shot nearly
7217s	working the Squall taking some DPS now
7219s	maybe the scalpel as well but uh till
7222s	doomsday uh this is the deepest run
7224s	they've ever had in Alliance tournament
7226s	we're going to see if they can kill this
7227s	fic Bor and he's starting to get some of
7229s	his armor back though yeah one of those
7231s	squalls goes down Platinum sensitivity
7233s	they have to take out as much DPS as
7235s	they can and Mark bridg is starting to
7237s	struggle back uh you that Nighthawk uh
7239s	ombre is 56 km off and heading out of
7242s	the fight might be heading for a jump
7244s	Beacon trying to jump back in because uh
7246s	ombre has not been able to bring any of
7248s	that DPS to bear on this BGR losing one
7250s	of their big Nighthawks is a is a
7252s	problem um now some of the damage is
7254s	going into louu Mahan on a Squall but
7256s	aridon is able to keep L up so uh so far
7260s	so good but uh the Bal Gorn is
7263s	recovering in fact uh it looks like uh
7265s	the whole plat the whole till doomsday
7267s	team has switched off the Balor they've
7271s	decided they can't break it they're
7272s	switching off they're going to the fleet
7274s	Tempest fear I'm concerned well the
7276s	fleet Tempest is definitely the more
7278s	efficient ship to get off the field in
7280s	terms of DPS over ahp especially because
7281s	the B
7282s	is as we've all mentioned going to have
7284s	those purple reps on it at the very
7286s	least uh this jogger as well the other
7289s	major source of DPS for platinum
7291s	sensitivity till doomsday they lose both
7292s	their squalls but their scalpel are
7294s	keeping themselves alive pretty well
7295s	lumahan had a good showing in the zarz
7297s	earlier on in both of those drone comps
7299s	that till doomsday have brought so while
7301s	they're on this Fleet Tempest and he
7302s	does appear to be breaking uh that
7305s	should start the match for field till
7306s	doomsday in terms of points they still
7309s	have to not get strong apart and not get
7311s	uh tackle up and unable to kill any
7313s	Targets yeah my concern here is that you
7315s	know in Rush it's really about killing
7317s	ships as fast as possible missing that
7319s	kill on the Bor and having to switch to
7321s	the fleet Tempest grinding through it
7322s	and the fleet Tempest has a lot of HP
7325s	too these Thalia nothing's preventing
7327s	them from repping that Fleet Tempest the
7329s	fleet Tempest almost certainly is a
7330s	local rep meanwhile Bradford and the Moa
7333s	is in serious trouble and aidon also
7336s	serious trouble aons might go down here
7339s	getting as many reps as he can from
7341s	lumahan in fact clawing back that Shield
7343s	faster then he can lose it so really
7346s	good heads up play from the one scalpel
7347s	they will lose their MOA for it but
7349s	keeping your scalpel alive is very
7350s	important and the fleet Tempest is very
7352s	low armor at the moment yeah so oh and
7355s	there goes aidon with all that damage
7356s	now able to focus on this is probably
7357s	the dragger once you know we can't look
7359s	at the kill Nails immediately but this
7360s	is probably the dger that's just going
7362s	through and taking each of the low end
7363s	out with that fast moving gun in
7365s	addition to the drones from the Magus
7367s	and the pona effects all the three
7369s	together can be pretty deadly to those
7371s	little things with the scalpel Budd down
7372s	lumahan doesn't have long to live here
7374s	no he doesn't he's trying to get some
7377s	back in range with that Navy Drake who's
7378s	also taking damage from these Fleet
7380s	Tempest on this born as the dger
7382s	continues to wreak havoc on the logy the
7384s	Navy Drake getting a little bit of
7385s	Shield back and the fleet Tempest in
7387s	structure now haven't taken it down that
7389s	is about a third of the DPS gone until
7391s	doomsday can take that but they only
7393s	have their high-end ships left and this
7395s	Navy Drake is also going down very
7398s	quickly yeah so Mark Bridges living to
7400s	win there managing to survive in the Bal
7403s	Gorn Fleet Tempest goes down but as you
7405s	say fear there's just the highend left
7408s	on the other hand Platinum sensitivity
7409s	their attack bar was the Balor and the
7411s	dger and some drones so this is going to
7414s	slow it down this is very smart from
7416s	till Doom they have the Hickam on the
7417s	dger right now they're going to turn on
7419s	top of it they're going to lose their
7420s	Navy Drake for it uh the points are
7422s	still 42 even um but if they can get the
7425s	dger down the only DPS left on this
7427s	entire comp is the born which uh really
7430s	doesn't have the most DPS uh for a
7434s	battleship even with the flag guns uh so
7437s	I like this idea of moving on to the
7438s	dger it's webbed up but they just
7439s	haven't been able to apply to the dger
7442s	quite yet in fact this Navy Drake goes
7443s	down and there's no damage on the dger
7445s	anymore no they have to switch to the
7447s	stalia they've got it uh web they've got
7449s	it scrammed they've got to be able to
7451s	try to apply but man those uh those
7454s	heavy assault missiles they do not apply
7455s	very well to athalia and none of these
7457s	ships appear to have Target painters in
7458s	their mid so that Thalia is managing to
7461s	survive quite nicely with the Reps from
7464s	the LOD partner nebis yeah and platinum
7466s	sensitivity right uh they let til Stay
7469s	full committ onto the born but the B
7471s	Gorn was able to spool the reactive reps
7472s	they kept the Nighthawk off the Bal Gorn
7474s	and that was really the Difference Maker
7476s	right the Nighthawk uh could not get on
7477s	top of the born till doomsday was a
7479s	little bit too late to swap onto the
7481s	Tempest Fleet issue and as a result the
7483s	born stays alive until doomsday they're
7485s	losing this Onyx now they just haven't
7487s	been able to kill any of this low end
7489s	that's keeping the B Gorn and the dger
7491s	alive once the Onyx goes down it's
7493s	really just the web and hams from the
7494s	Loki and the hams from the Claymore and
7496s	Nighthawk left and the attack bar will
7499s	unfortunately be smaller than the plot
7501s	sensitivity attack bar once the sonics
7503s	goes down indeed and that application is
7505s	a serious problem again like they're
7507s	trying to get down uh lieutenant bizar
7509s	in the pon effects but it's not doing
7511s	much these arbitrators are actually
7513s	seriously impactful from this these
7514s	arbitrators showed up with missile
7516s	guidance disruptors those disruptors we
7518s	mentioned that the heavy assault
7519s	missiles don't apply very well uh for
7521s	those of you who tried to use them on TQ
7523s	for like crabbing and stuff you know
7524s	shooting frigs you're just like oh it's
7526s	taking a million years anyway same thing
7529s	uh it's taking million years and these
7530s	arbitrators are almost certainly
7532s	disrupting the application of the
7535s	missiles at this point so sure they can
7537s	shoot it but even if they're going to
7539s	switch to Precision Ammo or faction ammo
7540s	or something that tends to apply a
7542s	little bit better it's not going to work
7545s	because the arbitrator you there's only
7547s	three ships we can see the arbitrators
7548s	are spreading their guidance disruptors
7549s	across all of them yeah and this is an
7551s	upper bracket match till doomsday and
7554s	platinum sensitivity both have made
7555s	their way into the top 12 Platinum
7557s	sensitivity making their way into the
7559s	top six by winning this match till
7561s	doomday goes into the lower bracket
7563s	they're not out of the tournament quite
7564s	yet we've got a couple more upper
7565s	bracket matches to go before the break
7567s	uh but still two do stay first time
7570s	bringing something that wasn't that
7571s	drone comp that they brought the first
7573s	two matches this time it doesn't quite
7575s	work out against Platinum sensitivity
7576s	just a little bit of an execution uh
7578s	difference and platinum sensitivity uh
7580s	using the Bal Gorn to some effect this
7582s	bait and also using these arbitrators as
7584s	you mentioned to stop this application
7586s	and stop till doomsday from being able
7587s	to take out the Platinum sensitivity low
7589s	end indeed yeah and that logic comp uh
7592s	pretty much or that drone comp pretty
7593s	much entirely banned out we got the aost
7595s	and the zarm from the pl bans from the
7597s	Platinum sensitivity side so uh I do
7599s	like the idea to bring Russia into this
7601s	uh it was nearly very effective uh
7604s	Russia's a very effective Flagship
7606s	assassinator very effective against you
7609s	it's it's often easy for you to get
7610s	something with your Rush even even if
7612s	you're ultimately uh not going to live
7615s	but yeah just that uh Mark Bridges
7618s	living to win just wasted so much time
7621s	from the till deam stay side yeah and
7623s	plattin and sensitivity making their way
7624s	into the top six um they've kind of been
7627s	in that four to eight spot for a while
7628s	so uh they're going to try to punch into
7631s	the top four of this tournament uh with
7633s	their next matchup who will be the
7634s	winner of the next match in the
7636s	tournament um that said Till doomsday
7639s	again this is the deepest run they've
7640s	had in a tournament they're not out of
7641s	it quite quite yet they've made top 12
7643s	if they can win their next match they're
7644s	top eight and that means even more prize
7646s	ships for them so uh till doomsday
7649s	unfortunate loss for them but uh they
7652s	are still I imagine pretty pleased with
7654s	their tournament uh progress thus far
7657s	yeah they've had a fantastic run this
7658s	this tournament so far and we've seen
7661s	very good things for them again that
7662s	upset against frat in that first match
7664s	was just absolutely incredible now here
7666s	they are again still in the Winn's
7668s	bracket they have one more to give uh
7670s	before they're out of the tournament and
7672s	as you say they're priz ship enjoyers
7674s	always happy to be prize ship enjoyers
7676s	and uh very well done uh by Platinum
7680s	sensitivity to pick apart this rush and
7682s	only lose a fleet Tempest for it uh you
7685s	know when we were on warpin we were
7687s	discussing a little bit Platinum
7688s	sensitivity doesn't really have a lot of
7689s	screen in this comp except for the Bal
7691s	gor so uh the Bal Gorn did what it
7693s	needed to do Mark Bridges was an
7695s	excellent pilot getting those longrange
7697s	webs out and keeping till Doomsday's
7699s	Rush at Bay indeed indeed and uh I'm
7701s	just a picked up my knitting here I've
7704s	made this much progress since coming to
7705s	Iceland uh and if you want to make a
7707s	sweater Pro tip knit all the time and
7711s	with that we'll send it back to the desk
7712s	I'll keep working on this and I'll see
7714s	you all later today
7751s	till doomsday there um in an exciting
7755s	match uh that is uh the first of our
7757s	winners bracket one again uh so we have
7759s	Platinum sensitivity taking the dub uh I
7762s	think till doomsday maybe got baited on
7763s	a flagship
7765s	bar Balor there b Balor um because they
7769s	went Barling in straight on top of it uh
7771s	and we first uh saw we were like uhoh
7773s	that's going to be a dead balone pretty
7775s	quickly uh there a lot of DPS but then
7777s	Mark Bridges uh was gaming and he
7779s	managed to new off where I was tackling
7781s	him pull range and then I think that's
7783s	when it all started to fall apart for
7784s	till doomsday starle Commander welcome
7787s	to the desk well good to be here good to
7789s	be of you guys and first time with you
7791s	on the desk hello how you doing buddy
7793s	it's now an ex volter desk yeah real
7796s	this is the you leaving vter as well no
7798s	the this side this side
7800s	of Commander confirming he is leaving we
7802s	form Vol here in Ali stre in 20 wow
7805s	interesting uh so starle break it down
7808s	what happened there they went in on that
7809s	that Bal gard and then it just seemed to
7811s	stop working well with those comps those
7813s	sort of rush like ham Rush comps you
7815s	kind of just have to go all in and they
7816s	made they made a gamble at the beginning
7818s	you saw them burning in immediately try
7819s	and get the damage on them butk Mark
7822s	just pulled it away and he at some point
7824s	we were watching he didn't get he wasn't
7825s	tackled was he Missy and he slow slowly
7827s	got away but they weren't out of the
7829s	woods yeah they've started to lose some
7830s	scores they still got the fleet Tempest
7832s	down at the end but obviously wasting
7834s	all that time on Mark just basically
7836s	gave Mark's team enough time to rally
7839s	and get some kills yep I mean it was a
7841s	it was a still a pretty tense match it
7843s	could have um gone either way like they
7844s	were breaking their Fleet tempers for a
7845s	very long time they were very close to
7847s	Breaking that balar in the first place H
7849s	and of course if that had gone down then
7850s	obviously this match has gone completely
7851s	different um that was again as I
7853s	mentioned uh in the winners bracket we
7855s	have left the losers behind we're back
7857s	to winners all the losers are gone um uh
7860s	but they will now drop down till
7861s	doomsday into that elimination bracket
7863s	they will play Rage Quit cancel sub
7865s	later today so they're down but not out
7867s	and platinum Sensitivity I believe are
7869s	confirming themselves at least top six
7871s	now so a solid win for them in that
7873s	instance besto I feel like that's just
7875s	one of those ones where if they kill the
7877s	Balor match goes the other way was there
7879s	really anything else that could have
7880s	done differently there should have done
7881s	their research you know the
7883s	indestructible Mark Bridges you don't
7886s	shoot him first you shoot him last he's
7888s	indestructible it's in the name that
7891s	gives them an unfair Advantage what if
7893s	he's indestructible yes I mean you know
7895s	you're the ones colluding with him I
7896s	don't know I didn't make the rules that
7898s	these are just the rules um no I think
7901s	that if they'd had more tackle and the
7904s	ability to lock down the Bal Gorn as
7906s	stuff L was saying then they're able to
7909s	actually break through they remove the
7911s	thing that is basically keeping most of
7913s	their ships in place with the the Balon
7914s	webs um I think it was just a really
7916s	good pairing of control on the Platinum
7919s	sensitivity side that allowed them to
7921s	kind of make it through that match um
7923s	they really by rights shouldn't have won
7926s	but thankfully uh to DS they shot the
7928s	indestructible Mark brid so it was okay
7930s	well it's one of those things where if
7932s	you your decision at the start for The
7934s	Rush comps is basically defines the
7936s	match I think they'd make the right
7937s	decision I think but I think if they
7939s	went for the fleet Tempest they might
7941s	have killed it
7942s	if they would have killed him and maybe
7944s	cuz we saw that the um they only had
7946s	really a tempest for actual damage so if
7948s	they maybe went for the Tempest first
7951s	got him down yep I mean a tempest
7953s	definitely does not tank anywhere near
7954s	as much as a flagship Balor so I'm
7956s	pretty sure Mark obviously and obviously
7958s	being FL by someone who is destructible
7960s	indestructible IND I I think another
7963s	thing is um you always have to consider
7966s	your target priorities right uh we have
7968s	a a slight meme on the vter team with
7970s	the whole uh K the B and don't let him B
7973s	which was I heard someone said that but
7974s	I don't know who did that yeah I don't
7975s	know who could have said that the rumor
7977s	but um essentially usually we would
7980s	leave the flagships to last because you
7982s	want to be able to make sure that you
7983s	are securing the win you're clearing out
7985s	the rest of the team Bor well flagships
7987s	in general are typically going to be
7989s	tankier than most things on the enemy
7991s	team so you want to be sure that you are
7994s	you have time to kill it towards the end
7995s	right um it seems like just it's because
7998s	the born was the one that was actually
8000s	webbing them down keeping them control
8001s	that they had to go for it at the very
8003s	beginning and then when the Tempest
8004s	Burns in um to start applying its damage
8007s	properly that's when they had the
8008s	opportunity to swap to the the flest and
8011s	also arbre was webbed at the start so
8014s	the rest of till doomsday burnt in and
8016s	arre was probably a bit too far away he
8017s	was an alligator I believe wasn't he uh
8019s	so his drones were still applying but I
8021s	reckon potentially his his missiles
8022s	weren't so that was probably that might
8024s	have been it they did do a really good
8026s	job of not being split up U they
8029s	although they were all tackled they were
8030s	all tackled together which is what you
8031s	want to do rather than being strong out
8033s	across the arena so they did a really
8034s	good job of someone probably get tackled
8035s	and then called the rest of them slowed
8036s	down so good job all right let's look at
8039s	our next match this one's going to be an
8040s	interesting one it's truth on or light
8041s	versus paper numbers now truth onor
8043s	lights uh won Alliance tournament a
8045s	couple of years ago uh they've the team
8047s	himself are made up of like some amazing
8049s	Pilots some of the best in the game H
8050s	and paper numbers is no slouch but I
8052s	mean twitch chat looks like you guys are
8054s	quite favoring uh truth on a light um so
8057s	mytical M should we take a look at the
8058s	bands for this one absolutely all right
8060s	so truth on a light Banning out the
8061s	curse the jack do the arbitrator and the
8063s	pilgrim so lots of tracking disruption
8065s	removed from the field paper numbers
8067s	Banning out crucifier Sentinel
8068s	arbitrator and a badden so the rest of
8069s	the track and disruption removed from
8071s	the field there still a curse there
8073s	still a curse still curse no it's not
8075s	it's right there first ban mystical M
8077s	are you I'm
8078s	blind I don't know why I'm here I'm I'm
8081s	I'm off guys I'm out see you the first
8084s	ship it's fine I think in this case I
8087s	allow Starfleet to explain these bands
8088s	to me thank you well I think we're going
8090s	to probably see meting rails this is I
8093s	don't know what you think I'm I'm
8094s	feeling me rails I'm feeling well the
8096s	gon's obviously on the table we might
8099s	see some gons see lots ofon see lots of
8101s	gons coming in I think we're definitely
8103s	going to see some I think turrets I
8105s	think we're going to see either Oto ra
8107s	kind of thing both of these teams are
8108s	telegraphing they don't want to see
8109s	things that disrupt turrets yeah
8111s	basically so I think maybe I get an Navy
8113s	I reckon I think I think it it It's
8116s	Tricky I'm wondering if they're going to
8118s	look at using um bombers perhaps since
8120s	they remov the the Jack door is a very
8122s	specific ban if you were doing medium
8124s	gun spam then you wouldn't really be
8126s	worried about a jack door because you'd
8127s	be able to clear it Off the Grid very
8128s	very quickly whereas with um Battleship
8133s	control comps that have like a couple
8136s	hounds maybe mhm that's when you're
8138s	going to want to get rid of those light
8139s	Ms yeah I also wouldn't be surprised if
8140s	we see um the like a Widow's arm comp
8143s	here from TR on light cuz I'm pretty
8145s	sure they practice with um evasive
8148s	maneuvering um and that would be
8150s	something that they've probably
8151s	practiced uh quite a lot and we just saw
8153s	that being brought out by evasive
8154s	maneuvering so it's you know the cats
8155s	out at the back to speak and strong
8158s	although as I said that um I've been
8160s	proven completely wrong because truth on
8162s	light are bringing their Flagship Bal
8163s	gor so great timing perfect timing
8166s	enough time for me to say something that
8168s	could be construed as intelligent uh and
8171s	then be found wrong they could still
8172s	pair it with the Widow cuz it's actually
8174s	one point cheaper than lak I think the
8176s	Bor true so it's and I do like those
8179s	sort of like not high DPS more control
8181s	comps a lot of the the sort of top teams
8183s	prefer more control than just raw DPS
8185s	not to say like Rush teams don't do
8187s	really well as well we've seen Tron like
8188s	bring High DPS Rush comps um oh my I
8191s	just muted that was extremely
8194s	strange that was really off fitting uh
8197s	all right let's head over to the arena
8198s	for this match between paper numbers and
8200s	Truth owner light very least with a
8203s	bunch of
8204s	D good day there mates welcome to the
8206s	arena this is the match I've been
8207s	looking forward to all day because we
8208s	have truth on a light versus paper
8210s	numbers and this is going to be a wild
8211s	one cuz truth on the light have brought
8213s	their flag yeah so truth onor light
8215s	having chosen the flag Bal Gorn we're
8218s	seeing something of a similar is setup
8219s	to their uh practice Partners in um you
8223s	know formerly dark side now known as
8225s	evasive maneuvering and so paper numbers
8229s	has elected to go with a very classic
8230s	minmatar rush so what they're going to
8232s	try to do is get all of their ships on
8234s	top of that THL uh you know Widow uh and
8237s	really tried to break through it before
8240s	the other side of THL is able to use a
8242s	lot of their uh you know jams to really
8244s	break anything critically though one
8247s	thing that I note about this paper
8248s	numbers team is that almost all of their
8250s	ships are of a minmatar hall class right
8252s	so the Widow when you're choosing these
8254s	jams you really need to make sure you
8255s	have the right racial jams and if they
8258s	put a lot into AAR on THL or you know
8260s	into Kara yeah maybe you can jam out a
8263s	MOA or Raptor but that's going to hurt a
8265s	lot also paper numbers looking at this
8268s	um you know defense bar and attack bar
8271s	they're just going to dive on top of
8273s	the a Mel too which is like you don't
8276s	see particularly often it fits the MTI
8278s	rush but it's such a big thing they're
8279s	going straight for the B going but looks
8280s	good they actually are just going to go
8281s	all in yeah they're just going to hard
8282s	commit to this because the one of the
8284s	issues with these U you know rushes is
8286s	that if you're able to be uh you know
8287s	pulled apart uh by a b gun you're going
8289s	to be in a world of hurt however we're
8291s	seeing that drones in the back yeah
8292s	drones are being used to try to harass
8296s	some of the Thalia into the Deacon which
8297s	I think is a right call the cball is
8299s	going to try to get reps from um scalpel
8301s	but the scalpel are receiving damps try
8303s	to make it even more inefficient to rep
8306s	them in jams attempts from the Widow but
8307s	again if this Bal Gorn drops that is
8309s	like the entirety of the damage from THL
8311s	because this Widow again just with uh
8314s	you know the dark side side of things it
8316s	does not have any sort of you know
8318s	damage it's all smart bombs it's all NES
8320s	is trying to do things but NES aren't
8321s	going to do a lot yes they're going to
8323s	kill a cal but damn that born is getting
8325s	rather low and that Thalia also taking a
8327s	ton of damage looking at the Thalia we
8329s	see an absolute cloud of drones are on
8332s	top of it chasing it down maybe forcing
8334s	the Deacon buddy to split reps exact and
8336s	the Bal Gorn now trying to uh you know
8339s	is getting a little bit more in kind of
8340s	repping we see again more Jam attempts
8342s	onto the sleer uh and to the cball core
8345s	so again maybe that could be the Widow
8348s	of blue melon just being able to land
8350s	more of those jams and really break
8351s	damage off I mean again if they don't
8353s	break through the logic here with Dron
8355s	they've held it they've held it he's
8356s	held he's perfectly held now they got to
8358s	change this plan now because they are
8359s	not going through his sh his armor has
8360s	gone back up to 60% they're still trying
8362s	to harass the th but they need to start
8364s	ref focusing maybe go after the Widow
8365s	but I bet that thing is as tanked as you
8367s	can make a widow tank well that's the
8369s	problem though with this Widow is that
8370s	the Widow is pretty far away right and
8373s	that's kind of what you do meanwhile
8374s	though the Bal Gorn has the ability to
8376s	web multiple targets away and that's
8378s	making it basically impossible what can
8379s	get on top of the Thalia maybe the
8381s	Raptor but that's about it if I'm um the
8384s	side of paper numbers and it looks like
8385s	the Raptor is diving into the backline
8387s	just as I say that getting on top of the
8389s	Thalia they need a web and they do
8391s	actually get a web on the tholly and
8392s	crucially the web is what you need this
8394s	is going to be a 10n frig uh on the side
8396s	here and another cinn ball going down so
8399s	that's more damage and this is really
8401s	the key of these uh you know jamming
8403s	Cordes is that if you try to apply more
8405s	damage uh you know across uh your
8410s	backside with the slep onto a BAL Gorn
8413s	yes you can do it eventually but getting
8416s	more jams it just means that more things
8418s	can go on top of you and it's harder for
8420s	you to attack damage again like you were
8422s	saying that uh Bal Gorn is getting fully
8424s	ripped and now the Raptor is getting
8425s	mitigated on by you know a counter
8428s	tackle and NES on top of him if they
8430s	don't break athalia or a deacon here
8432s	shortly on the side of paper numbers THL
8434s	is just going to grind it back I thought
8436s	that that Bal Gorn was going to break n
8438s	n no with a widow sitting there I didn't
8439s	see that going to happen it was
8440s	basically a race and these Cals are not
8441s	known for tank they're known for being
8443s	pretty aggressive honestly there's a lot
8444s	of opportunities here I feel like paper
8446s	is kind of wasted you've got a raptor
8447s	who can engage small stuff why were the
8449s	bombers not touched why would the other
8451s	small ships like you they went all in on
8452s	the flag with Balor it's like they just
8454s	sort went we want to have a shiny kill
8456s	and it's like well you got a widow there
8457s	it's going to constantly sty me your
8459s	attempt to do this yeah and the mo does
8461s	go down here um that said paper numbers
8464s	what they brought um their composition
8467s	is very much a flag um people call it a
8470s	Kings Slayer this is a flag killer comp
8472s	that paper numbers brought they brought
8474s	this from my read with the intention
8476s	explicitly of trying to get on top of a
8479s	single Flagship and just breaking it ton
8482s	of autoc Cannon damage from the Cals and
8484s	the sers but like you said oh theia
8487s	actually getting really low of tin bear
8489s	drops down critically the scalpel are
8492s	still alive if I'm paper numbers here
8495s	I'm going after the Deacon and once all
8497s	this Lodi drops if they can break a
8499s	widow and try to just get the harassment
8500s	off of them or the Bal Gorn they might
8502s	be able to do it because no
8504s	Lodi uh I mean the reps are still coming
8507s	on from the scalpel uh onto each other I
8510s	actually we do see noret looks like
8512s	jamming uh young Renegade is taking a
8515s	good amount of damage getting it to half
8516s	Shield right now I want to be hopeful
8518s	for my boys and paper numbers but it's
8519s	looking really dire at the moment like
8521s	they got rid of the logic yes but they
8523s	still have a flag horn and Widow core to
8525s	try and break through and they are
8527s	losing ships like the the ma is about to
8528s	be pushed into armor oh my God so this
8530s	scalpel here is getting pushed very very
8532s	low this is all just jams uh the other
8534s	scalpel buddy of nor is not able to rep
8536s	whatsoever now okay now we see the rep
8538s	bar as it gets down into Shield come on
8541s	sa save him sa some repping is going
8543s	down but again they're going to trade
8544s	out scalpel here so uh now that paper
8547s	numbers has been able to um you know get
8549s	rid of the low end and get rid of the
8551s	ponf effects are going after the Hound I
8553s	like that call again the Hound purifier
8555s	are going to be doing absolute work um
8557s	to the side of um you know paper numbers
8561s	mcal jaly is probably going to go down
8563s	here um because again only one scalpel
8566s	to rep you uh I say as Casper is getting
8569s	rather low but surving much longer than
8572s	I thought a bomber in whole wood does he
8574s	have a bunch of rep DRS on him I haven't
8575s	had a chance to look no cper is just an
8578s	being chased being chased by five light
8580s	drones and now the lisus that's been
8582s	doing absolute damp harassment for this
8584s	entire time is probably getting low is
8587s	kind of tank so jaly is kind of alive
8590s	here but the scalpel was just cleared
8593s	off by drones and now it's going to be
8595s	two sers which are getting jammed and
8597s	crucially these sers are being held down
8600s	at Zer right there is potential here if
8603s	that bomber goes down they're down to a
8604s	single flag horn is damage with maybe a
8606s	few drones from the vexa there's a
8608s	potential but I think it's about to
8609s	immediately vanish as yeah so that was
8612s	crucially here rusen a and um and it
8617s	looks like um his buddy of uh EOS are
8620s	just trying to approach what it looks
8624s	like is the vexor of brain star and
8627s	going towards the Widow here of blue
8629s	melon so far uh the Magus is doing a
8632s	great job at playing keep away the
8633s	Raptor has been trying to play tackle
8635s	and does finally go down to drones
8637s	however orantes critically uh yes he is
8640s	a purifier so no they don't do awesome
8643s	damage against any of um you know these
8647s	Minar you know Tech 2 uh holes but
8650s	Amelia duck space is just completely
8652s	effed off into Narnia here we can't say
8655s	that word quite on uh you know this
8657s	broadcast and that's because really what
8659s	you're going to try try to do is you're
8661s	try to use your 70 km webs to keep these
8663s	s apart y these sers are going to want
8665s	to and are getting on top of uh the man
8668s	formerly known as Big Daddy blue melon
8670s	um so far blue melon is doing a great
8672s	job at Tiding away as uh Zale is using
8676s	his uh life sacrificially it appears to
8679s	get tackle along with his uh vexer buddy
8681s	on the sleer uh but I don't know if the
8684s	sers can actually Target a damn thing
8686s	right now because they're still getting
8689s	they're still harassing that Widow but
8691s	they're getting jammed out really hard
8692s	if I'm them I think they may have just
8694s	loaded barrage and they're trying to
8696s	chip away at the hole here of this Widow
8698s	and the pel is providing a little bit
8699s	extra bonus as well with the target pain
8700s	trying to get onto the purifier as well
8701s	so they got a little bit of extra help
8703s	here they could probably get the Widow
8705s	but so this Bello is actually sitting on
8707s	top of blue melon basically at zero just
8709s	trying to chunk away with a tiny little
8711s	bit of damage um the Widow actually
8713s	looks like he's shooting a little bit of
8716s	um launcher damage not a ton um maybe
8719s	just a a flight of actually what appear
8722s	to now be uh rapid lights but that Widow
8724s	down into Hole uh ruson continuing to
8727s	take a good amount of damage this is
8728s	going
8729s	to exactly that he's got maybe three or
8732s	four left maybe at the most and there
8733s	are a handful of armor rep Bots that are
8736s	you know holding onto the Widow but the
8737s	Widow of blue melon Falls critically
8739s	this is now a points game right so with
8741s	the Widow down paper numbers is up by
8744s	two right we've seen te teams lose by
8745s	one or two Vex purify Vex and purify get
8748s	rid of them Cru okay rifen is running
8750s	out of ASB charges he's going to be on a
8752s	second 60sec reload rifon has to survive
8755s	for the next 60 seconds but I don't
8757s	think he's going to do it oron's Jordan
8760s	is taking just a tiny little bit of
8761s	drone damage and that and the vexer are
8763s	continuing to apply really good damage
8765s	to the Hulk here of rifen however exos
8769s	uh would be the only thing left right
8771s	but he's being webbed down again by this
8773s	Bel Gorn Amelia has control spaced at
8775s	the very edge of his web range and it
8777s	looks like THL is going to be able to
8780s	claw this back here uh rifon is getting
8783s	really close to being able to reload uh
8785s	just as Jordan goes down I think reload
8788s	off he's going to die he's going to go
8789s	down he's not going to get the reload so
8791s	critically um the Bellos and the sleer
8794s	uh combined are less points in that born
8797s	so papers numers chance their only
8799s	chance to win this match would be to
8801s	kill the THL uh Bal Gorn of Amelia Ducks
8803s	base but that's not going to happen
8805s	right even with no lodgy on the field we
8807s	can see that that pink bar is going to
8809s	be an officer repper
8811s	that is going to be you know a self tank
8813s	for the B Gorn and the S is being held
8814s	down uh basically by that officer web it
8818s	can go nowhere quick um Melia duck space
8821s	really showing a master class in how to
8823s	control space just chill it range and is
8826s	just plinking away at that slep near
8827s	Shield using um that um mid-range to
8832s	long range uh Scorch damage oh yeah
8834s	interesting thing as well is that as you
8835s	said that even if they killed the mega
8836s	of X they would not be ahead and that's
8838s	kind of like a double-edge sh for the B
8839s	gun it's like it's very expensive it
8841s	also means you can lose your entire
8842s	Compass to get away with it so something
8844s	to note here is I think that if that
8845s	Hound had gone down there's a real very
8848s	real world in which rifon is able to get
8850s	his ASB reload off in time because we
8852s	saw that I mean it's 60 seconds to
8854s	reload that if he had gotten that off he
8856s	probably lives and this goes the way of
8859s	paper numbers again paper numbers is not
8861s	out here they're going to drop down to
8863s	the low lower bracket and THL is going
8866s	to advance uh very scarily but very well
8870s	play to both teams we're going to send
8872s	this one back to the desk after the
8874s	analysts break it down
8911s	truth honor light taking the victory
8913s	over paper numbers there and getting
8914s	themselves one step closer to the Grand
8917s	Final that was a absolute nail biting
8919s	match right there uh when when we saw
8923s	that high DPS Rush comp come in against
8926s	uh the flagship Balor with that Widow
8930s	that Balor was in danger and we all said
8932s	it standing here looking at it we kind
8934s	of looked each other went you rush the
8935s	Widow right that's the plan Rush the
8937s	Widow I think some of them get screened
8939s	on the way there but you saw how quickly
8941s	that would have died at the end just the
8942s	two slep and a bellicose so I I reckon I
8945s	reckon if paper numbers rushed that
8946s	Widow maybe th would have dropped that
8949s	one what do you think B yeah I uh I
8951s	think paper numbers uh made they had two
8953s	choices for Target calling and they
8955s	picked the exact wrong one um we all
8958s	said you need to rush the Widow twitch
8959s	chat said you need to rush the Widow uh
8961s	they did not I think they got the uh I
8963s	think so from what I understand Amelia
8965s	typed like oh no I'm in danger and then
8967s	I think they're like yes get get the
8968s	Balor get the Balor so it was very close
8971s	the Balor did almost go down but the
8972s	problem is so obviously the Widow was
8975s	very very squishy um they have a very
8977s	they do not have that many low slots
8978s	they get a shield tank bonus not an
8979s	armor tank bonus it is probably an armor
8982s	Widow we assume I guess you go check the
8984s	Kil um but if the Widow is alive they
8988s	have insanely powerful jams and so even
8991s	if you're rushing down with like the
8992s	paper numers DPS bar was massive like
8994s	that was chunky chunky girthy huge
8997s	ginormous like engorged probably
9001s	engorged I mean there was a lot of DPS
9003s	and that Bal Gorn was um not in a good
9006s	position at one point I think a couple
9007s	of jams just landed at the right time uh
9009s	then one cineol dropped and the DPS
9011s	started to to you know peel off a little
9013s	bit well that's what the problem is is
9014s	that if the Widow lives sitting at like
9016s	66 km off the fight just kind of like
9018s	jam Jam Jam Jam there's nothing you can
9021s	do and so you know by ignoring the Widow
9024s	basically they lost they did kill it and
9026s	it actually and it was crazy how fast it
9028s	died cuz like it got ran down by like it
9030s	almost look like got sold
9033s	by wait a second then they they're
9035s	losing THL he like oh wait up a second
9038s	The Widow's dying to like yeah like a
9040s	Vost on his own yeah and the two hounds
9043s	obviously on THL y providing a lot of
9045s	damage as well but I think yeah it kind
9047s	of flipped almost flipped Y in in
9050s	against THL but I think yeah just that
9053s	first tile was the down wasn't it but
9055s	well and like look here's you know what
9057s	I think actually happened here cuz THL
9059s	as soon as they like got the first sble
9060s	down it was kind of like okay they
9062s	probably won I think what happened is
9063s	they all like stood out St out of their
9065s	chairs took their hands off their
9066s	keyboard and was like you know taking
9068s	selfies like ah yes we won another match
9070s	oh good hand shaking around and then um
9073s	people start dying still while they're
9074s	like not paying attention he the hull
9076s	alarm in the backgound they like like oh
9078s	oh no that's my ship oh no no no no know
9080s	uh yeah it I think they played like
9083s	almost perfectly from the get-go there's
9085s	this moment where like you have a flag
9086s	Bal Gorn and then two completely
9088s	unscreen sers that are in range of it
9089s	and you're like what are you what are
9091s	you doing with your spaceship there
9092s	buddy like why is nothing webbed but
9094s	it's fine they still won uh we got to
9096s	see uh you know amazing to be honest
9100s	ders that's the first time T have lost
9102s	any ships yeah this tournament yeah and
9104s	they almost lost the match to be honest
9106s	that was it was pretty close and
9108s	according to uh local chat at least um
9110s	the Macario was 1 second away from an
9113s	ano reload when it went down so a
9115s	different game yeah nothing more
9118s	frustrating than seeing like the little
9119s	flashing bar going around as your like
9121s	Health gets lower and you're like come
9122s	on he's spamming whatever key key bar
9124s	he's got I bet you the sner was within
9127s	10 as well that last one we were sitting
9128s	there like yeah that sner got an e and
9131s	off there wasn't much DPS left and the
9132s	truth on her like side I reckon if he
9134s	managed to get that off he would have
9135s	survived and then they would have won on
9137s	points but oh W water match one of the
9139s	best matches tournament uh so good job
9142s	um and let me just check who truth on
9144s	light are playing next Platinum
9145s	sensitivity are the next one that truth
9147s	on light will have to face in the upper
9148s	bracket so that will not be a slouch
9150s	we'll find out just how indestructible
9152s	Mark Bridges truly is meanwhile paper
9154s	numbers will go up against evasive
9155s	maneuvering so we're getting into like
9158s	the point where there's just like the
9160s	top teams are starting to like bubble up
9162s	to the top right now and it is looking
9164s	like it's going to be some spicy matches
9166s	still to go here in Alliance tournament
9167s	20 all right let's take a look at the
9169s	bands for the next match match which is
9170s	going to be the tuskers versus
9171s	deteriorated this is also in the upper
9174s	bracket so tuskers Banning out the zarz
9177s	the Scimitar the Loy and the Blackbird
9179s	getting that ECM out the way as well as
9180s	the zarm um and deteriorated baning out
9182s	the mollus Sentinel arbitrator and
9184s	Carries now Starfleet Commander I think
9186s	deteriorated if I remember correctly
9187s	we're the first team to bring the Widow
9188s	in this tournament yes uh what else do
9190s	you kind of see with these bands here I
9192s	mean they obviously in this is very
9194s	common in all the bands we're seeing a
9196s	lot of ewar just being taken off in
9198s	every single band um yeah focusing on a
9200s	lot of damps and a lot of TDS and then
9202s	tuska is doing obviously aamad uh zamad
9206s	how do you pronounce that it's called
9207s	pres Zade it's armade yeah um I think
9212s	deteriorated probably going to field
9214s	just I mean again armag again Navy ISU
9216s	still on the table lots of BS calls
9218s	probably with a bit of maybe some maybe
9221s	crucifier like some some ew war and
9224s	tuskers well known for doing some sort
9225s	of you know they' done a guardian with
9227s	hugging comp with Fleet Cy and stuff so
9230s	it might be fing a bit something a bit
9232s	weird but I think yeah I think we're
9234s	going to probably see some
9236s	Armageddon
9237s	Armageddon maybe I
9240s	um the the tuskers flag Bal Gorn comp
9243s	that we saw was like one of the most
9244s	disgusting like Noob stomp team setups
9247s	that I've ever seen where they're just
9248s	like like what are you going to do about
9249s	this so um I think that's still open to
9251s	because so much tracking disrupting is
9252s	banned uh we could see them just you
9254s	know show up with a mass amount of DPS
9256s	and a flag Bal Gorn as well uh but yeah
9259s	they I do agree like it's it's tuskers
9261s	they do weird stuff um I don't want to
9263s	see armag I'm sick of them you know what
9266s	I'm I'm on team misty here like it's
9268s	it's there SCS like ah we brought our
9269s	rabbit heavy ships like they're not that
9271s	good yeah I feel like we're we're going
9272s	to see more and more widows popping out
9274s	now as well let's take a quick look at
9275s	how ECM works in the video game Eve
9277s	online uh so if we can throw up that
9280s	infographic here we go electronic
9281s	counter measures um which I mean real
9283s	this should be eccm but it's not but
9285s	there you go uh so ECM essentially um
9288s	when the module Cycles on top of um uh
9291s	enemy ship if you're if you do succeed
9293s	in jamming them which is based on the
9294s	sensor strength of the ship and the
9296s	module and the ship the you're in in
9297s	terms of bonuses um then basically the
9299s	ship can't lock anything all its targets
9301s	get broken except it can lock the ship
9303s	that is jamming it so it's kind of like
9304s	we call it sometimes like a taunt
9306s	basically so uh you have the idea of um
9309s	the Widow jams everyone and everyone has
9311s	to shoot the Widow basically at that
9312s	point but of course the Widow is just
9313s	flying around in Nar at doing his own
9314s	thing uh so that's the hard part keep
9316s	everyone away from the Widow Widow is
9318s	fine let everyone get on the Widow WI
9320s	was not fine okay all right so this is
9322s	going to be an interesting one cuz both
9323s	flagships are here a Balor and an
9325s	armagedon Navy issue uh looks like we've
9327s	got about 2 minutes until this next
9328s	match so uh what do we expect here do
9331s	you think there's going to be tuskers
9332s	darle I think yeah I think tuskers are
9335s	going to take it I think obviously the
9336s	loser of this match plays vter so
9339s	another you know so is that correct it
9341s	is correct so it's kind of a bit of a
9343s	spicy one so that's why I think we're
9344s	seeing Flags coming out because they're
9346s	like let's if we get through the winners
9348s	uh then I think matches Les yeah less
9351s	skins though but I think they they're
9353s	treating this like you know like a semi
9355s	or even a f at this point they're
9356s	bringing their the quality of the teams
9357s	at this point this gets you top six if
9360s	you win here top six and you get just
9362s	tons of ships and like including the the
9364s	the amazing uh New Alliance tournament
9366s	prize Battleship which would' be super
9367s	exciting to see those out in the wild um
9370s	honestly I feel like we should just go
9371s	to the arena and let the commentators
9372s	talk about this one because this is
9373s	going to be a spicy match it's going to
9375s	be hype there's going to be a lot of uh
9377s	expensive modules for sure on uh this
9380s	these ships so oh looks like we might be
9383s	a little bit of no it's not not going to
9385s	be delayed let's just go to the arena
9386s	let's head to the arena now figure it
9389s	out hello I'm moderator joined by my
9392s	excellent friend from Down Under who
9395s	brings the Thunder and speaking of
9397s	bringing some Thunder we see not one but
9400s	two flagships we have a king Slayer comp
9403s	rapid Heavies across the board supported
9405s	by a celestus for some damps and then
9408s	your usual smattering of bombers and
9410s	logi frigs tusers bringing out their
9413s	version of drone
9414s	control lot of control like we emphasize
9417s	on the control with that Bon that is
9419s	control with capitalization and
9420s	quotation yes so V mirom Mane had a
9423s	little bit of a issue that we had to
9425s	sort out with the referees but this
9427s	appears to be a gun bell and this beat
9429s	tuskers I know from past experience that
9432s	at the time you know five six years ago
9434s	when I was with them when they uh you
9435s	know brought a flag Bor in 1
9438s	at14 um they have that toe bias web
9441s	right they've got the max range
9442s	everything and speaking of max range
9444s	everything I mean that's how you get a
9445s	hyena right now getting picked even at
9447s	70 km it's getting reps but it's taking
9450s	a ton of damage and the EOS drones
9452s	aren't even there yet that's literally
9454s	just Bal Gorn guns shooting your hyena
9457s	and bouncers true actually a big old
9460s	wave of bouncers all got dropped and
9462s	tried to snipe that hyena he did get
9463s	saved he's now moving so he's going to
9464s	be very hard to kill but all it takes is
9466s	a few lucky shots from a couple of
9467s	drones like those wrecking shots can be
9468s	absolutely bold
9470s	I say that actually yeah you're right
9471s	those are going to be those you know
9473s	those big uh larger X's are going to be
9475s	indicating you know bouncers wardens or
9477s	some sort of other Sentry drone so far
9480s	uh qappa in the Navy Armageddon he's
9482s	trying to get close trying to get in new
9484s	range but again the Bal Gorn of and his
9486s	Tobias web says no no you're not going
9488s	to get close to me I'm going to keep you
9490s	down and so far uh tuskers is really
9493s	just trying to play a bit of a
9494s	positional game right maybe they'll burn
9496s	back to some of their centuries pick
9497s	them up um so far it looks like
9500s	deteriorated is trying to uh burn back
9503s	and get out of range but here's the
9505s	problem being the practice is now being
9508s	webbed down so this is what you can do
9510s	with um tuskers right is their B Gorn is
9513s	it can be at full speed they can do
9514s	whatever they want they can move around
9517s	but the Praxis and that uh Navy
9519s	Armageddon that Flagship again of qappa
9522s	they're stuck there being held down by
9524s	those 60% webs and they're going nowhere
9526s	fast at they're trying to close in still
9527s	with those triple battleships it's not
9528s	really moving and the the Bon sat at
9530s	zero after the start of the match he got
9531s	to zero sat there and just basically is
9533s	being a wall and at the moment they are
9535s	eating through this
9536s	practice this is probably the second
9538s	time seen a Praxis in the tour I think
9540s	maybe a third yeah and actually I really
9541s	like this call of going for the prais
9543s	right you compare it to the Navy
9544s	Armageddon the fleet typhoon that's got
9545s	a ton of lows the prais again not known
9548s	for the same amount of tank and really
9550s	when you take like a flag you know ship
9552s	really supported by all those Sentry
9554s	drones the Praxis is going to have
9556s	really a lot of trouble being held up
9558s	again it doesn't look like it has any
9559s	rep bot on it it's just the Thalia just
9562s	the Deacon which yeah okay they do a lot
9563s	of rep power but at the end of the day
9566s	uh it might not be enough for the Sentry
9567s	damage looking at the drones they've got
9569s	they actually got a bunch of heavy rep
9570s	drones as well as some light rep drones
9571s	on it so they are trying to keep this
9572s	practice alive but they are just being
9574s	chunked by the amazing amount of drone
9576s	damage that's coming in yeah I'm just
9577s	looking at the angry uh you know or the
9579s	helpful cloud of drones that are trying
9581s	to support the practice but it's you
9583s	know being outnumbered right now by The
9585s	Angry Cloud by The Angry Crowd however
9586s	the Deacon deleted do get does get
9589s	deleted so there was a bit of a snap
9590s	swap where what you can do here actually
9593s	and looks like what tuskers did is they
9595s	dropped their drones so right they let
9597s	them go abandoned then they reconnect to
9600s	those centuries the Deacon gets webbed
9602s	down as he's trying to pull away they
9604s	get webbed down he dies now the hyena
9606s	dies right so this is again the power of
9608s	that flag Bal Gorn yeah the merer might
9611s	get killed for having to try to dive the
9612s	backline but I mean it's worth it if you
9615s	kill a hyena athalia and now a Praxis
9618s	I'll take that every day the week just
9620s	trying to hunt down I that Hena got
9622s	tackled just before he died really yeah
9625s	I didn't unfortunately I missed who did
9627s	it unfortunately I don't think it was a
9628s	crw he's in the wrong spot but that H
9630s	was tackled and then immediately snap
9632s	killed and then move on they just doing
9634s	this doing we just lost a paon effects
9636s	here I mean this is a really well done
9638s	from Tusk just constantly like we've
9639s	tackled you kill you we tackled you kill
9640s	you constantly while still pressurizing
9643s	that pressurizing pressuring the
9644s	practice the entire time well I mean I I
9647s	think you could be pressurized because
9648s	the Cher is getting absolutely cooked by
9650s	the uh fourhead and five head of uh Mira
9654s	I mean earlier we saw a combination of
9656s	an HML kite comp that had no damage but
9659s	it wouldn't be tuskers if they didn't
9660s	win with a kite comp uh and now they're
9662s	winning with a born control comp we can
9664s	see that deteriorated yeah they're
9666s	trying to do their best to use um some
9668s	damps um from that celestus to try to
9671s	hold down the deons but now those are
9672s	gone just like you said so I I mean what
9675s	does deteriorated really have left
9676s	they've lost uh a lot of their core
9679s	ships and now their hound and purifier
9681s	getting webbed down I can tell you what
9682s	they've got left damage what have they
9685s	done with
9685s	it judging by their attack bar nothing
9689s	yeah like they have the damage still
9690s	their entire damage core is still there
9692s	the bombers plus all three battleships
9693s	but they've been so just thoroughly
9695s	kneecapped in this entire match they
9697s	haven't been able to really use it and
9698s	and this is part of the problem that you
9700s	really run into when you're deteri going
9702s	against tuskers right so yes you bring
9704s	this King Slayer comp and what they
9707s	should know is that King Slayer does not
9709s	kill a really any flag Battleship under
9713s	time uh they are getting this EO rather
9715s	low and that might have been a bit of a
9717s	better Target but this Thalia you know
9719s	already uh taking a ton of damage it
9722s	looks like checking Thalia being whipped
9725s	and painted down I'm just trying to see
9726s	exactly who has that on him I believe
9728s	it's the creu yeah I mean I'm looking in
9731s	the kind of the the backline it looks
9733s	like um that was actually just the just
9737s	the Bal Gorn doing Bal Gorn things just
9738s	born things yep fair enough that's
9741s	honestly it's very well done by this is
9743s	why flag bows are bloody terrifying cuz
9746s	yeah the bow going decide you and just
9749s	grab you stop you from moving and then
9750s	let these bouncers which are still
9751s	shooting I believe just delete you or
9753s	put drones on you let them get deleted
9755s	it's really brutal again I'm looking at
9756s	this Hound here right this Hound just
9758s	had a flight of light drones on it but
9760s	it was dying just because I'm a born and
9763s	I say you get webbed at 70 km you get to
9765s	move anymore yeah it's just over for you
9767s	so the punish the purifier is being
9769s	painted I see uh what looks like stew
9771s	Miner and a cloud of drones going after
9773s	it meanwhile the fleet typhoon and the
9776s	Armageddon Navy being held down again
9779s	just Bal Gorn things really I hly love
9781s	the double combo of Balor bellicose
9782s	because basically what you've done is
9783s	made a long-range hyena you've got the
9785s	paint bonus and you've got the web bonus
9788s	you can basically just pick a ship at a
9789s	distance to say that person is not not
9790s	allowed to move and he's now twice as
9792s	big yeah and that's really what you get
9794s	with the Bal Gorn right you get the NES
9795s	of a curse but heavy I mean you get the
9799s	projection right in web of like a hyena
9803s	again even more like a raper really with
9805s	that officer utility and you just tell
9807s	the other team that they're just not
9808s	going to get to play the game right now
9811s	deterior rated problem is that what they
9813s	needed to do um to kill any of these
9817s	deacons really was to have something
9819s	tackle it but here's the problem what
9822s	are you going to send into the backline
9823s	in this composition that you have
9825s	exactly nothing yeah we've seen a lot of
9826s	that people have gone really heavy on
9828s	the control it's like well congrat
9829s	you've got a very good control comp now
9831s	what happens if you can't break the one
9833s	big ship you're playing to break and the
9834s	answer is you die yeah exactly and
9837s	that's Again part of what we're talking
9839s	about is the distinction between some of
9841s	these teams like the tuskers that have
9843s	very mature well-rounded setups where
9846s	this composition I'm looking at from
9848s	tuskers they can face a lot of things
9849s	right now yep
9851s	deteriorated it's a little bit more one
9853s	dimensional it's basically an anti-
9854s	Battleship comp and maybe an anti-
9856s	medium gun comp to a lesser degree it's
9858s	just I want to kill big things what
9860s	about the Small Things e we'll leave
9861s	them poer and you have to really have an
9864s	answer for yes heavy missiles generally
9866s	do apply
9867s	well except to like tenen after burning
9870s	Lodi frig so exactly this is where maybe
9873s	instead of purifier Hound which would do
9874s	really good at killing the battleships
9876s	which you already have ex the get in the
9879s	practice for swap some of this out maybe
9881s	make some of these some tackle ships
9882s	that can really get into the backline
9884s	and support you more however uh speaking
9887s	of things that are going to be uh taking
9890s	it getting taken down H Kappa that Navy
9892s	Armageddon saving the best for last as
9895s	tusker's Bal Gorn menacingly is nuding
9898s	what a fearsome looking ship they better
9900s	get to zero on that boy cuz when he goes
9902s	pop they need to get the loot before
9903s	they get kicked out yeah usually the
9905s	refs do a pretty good job when you know
9907s	we've got around two minutes left on the
9909s	clock of giving teams the time to scoop
9912s	the loot and I'll be very interested to
9914s	see just how shiny of a flag this is yes
9917s	yes yes yes yes I honestly very much
9918s	like this TUS comp it mixes a good
9920s	amount of control and damage as well as
9921s	you know good tank and range the
9923s	deteriorated comp is just kind of a king
9926s	Slayer on a bit of extra steroids yeah
9928s	and that's kind of the idea is when you
9931s	have a flagship you want it to be able
9933s	to Define you know your composition not
9935s	just be like a better version of what
9937s	you already do but that sounds like
9939s	analyst work we're just commentators
9940s	we'll send it to the break and let the
9942s	analyst do their job
9958s	and there you have it the tuskers co
9959s	taking a vectory over deteriorated and
9961s	sending them down into the lower bracket
9964s	where they will go on to face Wei form
9966s	Volta that was an interesting match up
9968s	for sure we just looked at the uh the
9969s	loss mail of one of the eos's from the
9971s	tusker side there triple drone damage
9973s	amplifiers just all damage basically
9975s	almost no tank we did we were watching
9977s	the match and he just disappeared so
9979s	quickly we like wait what what happened
9981s	there starle Commander that's an
9982s	interesting fit right well yeah I mean
9984s	usually you'd put a couple more tank
9985s	mods on it right so as you're saying
9987s	well obviously the match was going on
9988s	and the EOS almost died and me and Bart
9991s	were like looking at each other like
9993s	what so obviously and obviously the
9994s	damage was Landing super fast as well
9996s	that FRS were popping really quickly so
9999s	especially at the beginning They al they
10000s	tried to go for the hyena with a
10001s	centuries and that's a lot of damage
10003s	coming from two just two oses on the
10004s	team obviously they had some vexas
10006s	didn't they but I think they dropped the
10008s	centries tried to go for H
10010s	they burnt away so they had to redrop
10011s	their drones but the damage was just
10013s	Landing fast wasn't it bar yeah it was
10015s	um it was way higher than it should be
10017s	because usually when we're doing a you
10019s	know cuz this is basically it's an armor
10020s	drone control um it you know it happened
10023s	to have a flag Bal Gorn which is a
10024s	little bit different but uh usually when
10026s	you see the DPS from these it's like oh
10028s	they kind of do some NES and then they
10029s	slowly Whitt someone down but they had a
10031s	triple drone damage amplifier eos's
10033s	which just do tons of damage and I think
10036s	the other thing we saw at the end there
10039s	they did do they threw like a couple
10040s	shots into the flag Bal Gorn I think at
10042s	the end they're kind of like well let's
10043s	see what happens the flag Bal Gorn was
10044s	in like 20% armor yeah I I saw that
10045s	theend kind
10047s	like what's happening here maybe flag
10049s	belor also was full damage fit the whole
10052s	comp is just
10054s	damaged like nobody expects this and
10056s	it's like well so now the question is
10058s	like you know what do you do against
10059s	this next time yeah that was way more
10061s	damage than a drone comp should have um
10063s	tuskers at it again fantastic Theory
10065s	crafting uh my favorite thing about it
10067s	was that they basically so tuskers is
10069s	really well known for using like hyenas
10070s	and hugan really well and they didn't
10072s	use hyena or hugan they used a flag Bal
10075s	Gorn as a really really big hyena and it
10077s	basically kind of sat there and would
10078s	like you know clearly has Toby webs like
10081s	those were some 65 70km webs it would
10083s	just like web a Target down and then the
10085s	drones would just fly over and just
10086s	delete it because you know it's probably
10088s	like 3,000 DPS worth of heavy drones or
10090s	something dumb like that yeah I think
10091s	deteriorated did flu pretty well as well
10093s	um that Hena at the start uh it was it
10095s	was the right target call for tuskers I
10097s	believe to try and remove it uh from the
10099s	field and I mean they almost succeeded
10101s	but the pilot in that hyena managed to
10102s	pull himself out to range and out to
10104s	safety and it kind of at that point I
10106s	remember saying like oo this might be a
10107s	little bit trickier for tuskers because
10109s	that hyena got free Tor did fly well I
10112s	think if they the bow gor just pushes in
10115s	and as you said but it's just oppressive
10117s	web and we just like basically lock down
10119s	anything and when they redrop their
10120s	drones and we saw like Heavies and stuff
10123s	they so it's so quick to switch which is
10125s	why you start to see frigs popping
10126s	really quickly because as soon as no
10128s	ship dies you can quickly check what's
10130s	next to it and the drones will
10131s	immediately aggress and it it can
10133s	Cascade really quickly from then on yeah
10135s	so I mean b how do you how do you beat
10137s	that comp
10138s	there well um not Can't Ban the flag
10141s	born uh I don't know I
10144s	mean go for the EOS I think well so the
10147s	actual the actual answer apparently was
10148s	to either go for the EOS or the flag
10150s	because is not us the answer because
10153s	like so again if if you guys go look at
10154s	the fit you'll notice that the EOS had
10157s	uh a plate a damage control and a tech
10160s	one explosive hardener so it has a
10163s	massive em hole um very easy to blow up
10166s	but it's probably not going to be fit
10167s	like that next time now they're going to
10168s	do something else but uh yeah apparently
10170s	it was go for the EOS or go for the flag
10171s	Bal Gorn which me would put it past the
10174s	tusers to bring what looks like the same
10176s	comp but completely different fit next
10178s	time so like heavily tanked uh I'm
10180s	pretty sure mea goes into his theat
10182s	crafting Den has a giant wheel of
10184s	modules and just kind of
10185s	goes and then that's how he fits them
10188s	Guardian he gets a guardian then he gets
10191s	armor hugging and to be honest they've
10193s	been doing some really interesting comp
10195s	just now so like you know it could be
10196s	Mind Games Y for the next match I mean
10198s	this is we're now at the level of the
10200s	tournament where mind games are now
10201s	legitimately important um I we talked
10204s	about it in the the last match with
10205s	trite you know was Amelia typing in
10207s	local I'm in danger before the match
10209s	started was he really thinking he is in
10211s	danger or was he just trying to you know
10213s	Edge them into shooting the Bal Gorn
10215s	instead of the Widow like this is the
10216s	kind of stuff that starts to go through
10218s	people's minds and you get the SP spiral
10219s	the spiral will start and the spiral
10221s	will continue um and star you've been
10224s	there in in the the Mind Game spiral
10225s	before as well yes it do you do get in
10227s	your own head when it comes to like
10228s	picking comps and things and it's one of
10230s	those things that I try and tell people
10232s	just like just stick to what you know
10234s	yeah don't don't get into your own head
10236s	and think well if they do this I'm going
10238s	to do this just fly where you're
10239s	comfortable flying which is what I think
10241s	most teams are doing uh not not all of
10243s	them but I think especially like tuskers
10246s	tuskers clearly have a plan yeah and
10248s	they going for it their bands are are
10251s	targeted and they just filled what
10252s	they're comfortable with yep I just saw
10254s	the flagship kill Mill for deteriorated
10257s	um it's a I would say pretty reasonable
10259s	one 33 in a bit billion um we have about
10262s	16 billion in launchers and thanks to
10264s	the the 90% Loot drop event that's all
10267s	there I'm pretty sure tuskers won't need
10268s	to upgrade their Flagship though I'm
10270s	pretty sure it's already fairly maxed
10271s	out they're definitely a max out your
10274s	Flagship type team um but yeah so
10277s	unfortunately if deteriorated not only
10278s	did they drop down the losers bracket to
10279s	face we4 and Volta they do it without
10281s	their Flagship now Volta already lost
10282s	theirs as well so there's going to be no
10284s	Flagship in that match which is nice for
10286s	everybody good nice and safe all right
10288s	let's have a look at our the bands for
10289s	our next match which is barcode versus
10291s	Odin's call so barcode Banning out the
10293s	Armageddon the EOS the arbitrator the
10296s	armagan Navy and the Sentinel uh Odin's
10298s	call Banning out the Z armadillo the EOS
10300s	the onos the orus and the Tempest Fleet
10303s	or fist as is sometimes known blackb
10305s	pirate what do you think about these
10306s	bands here it's kind of the one that you
10309s	know sticks out to me here because like
10311s	most of these are meta standard at this
10313s	point um Banning of fist is a little bit
10315s	weird because Odin's call actually
10317s	really likes to use them uh weirdly
10319s	enough and they're also not that good um
10321s	they have been good in the past there
10323s	used to be uh you know a couple years
10324s	ago when we had an at where mmar points
10326s	or ships were discounted they were
10328s	actually insane in a shield rush but uh
10330s	yeah I don't I don't necessarily know
10332s	you know barcode has been flying very
10334s	very well um if somebody was going to
10335s	bring some kind of uh interesting um
10338s	sort of maybe ECM surrounded setup I
10340s	could see it like you know perhaps a
10342s	widow Tempest Fleet setup uh but yeah
10344s	it's I don't know the rest of the Bands
10345s	they're pretty standard right like well
10347s	two loggies banned two loggies banned
10349s	yeah and that was the dup ban as well
10351s	from Odin so maybe they're just going to
10354s	obviously I think they're obviously logy
10355s	frigs they want to be close so they
10356s	probably maybe want the other team to
10357s	bring logi frig or Shield
10360s	comp because why would because you're
10363s	you're cutting out all the armored TT
10365s	loggies so maybe they want to fight
10368s	something that's got FRS or is just
10370s	Shield which could be a thing what what
10373s	what would you like to fight with L FRS
10374s	that's kind of the question well it if
10376s	you're going to go maybe you want to do
10377s	something brawl like we saw we saw today
10379s	you know THL almost lose to a rush maybe
10381s	you do a rush comp and you go in and you
10383s	just you just break the break it I mean
10384s	the ham Rush is wide open basically yeah
10386s	and you could you could break through
10388s	like easily the the uh the tank and ham
10390s	rushes are really really good at killing
10392s	ly frigs it feels like it shouldn't be
10395s	but they're exception killing flagships
10397s	as well uh so
10399s	get on top of something um like as we
10402s	saw Amilia in his his flag Balor was
10405s	very touch and go at one point it's a
10406s	lot of DPS and there's only so much you
10408s	can really tank in these in these uh
10410s	matches so most of the ships um except
10413s	flagships can only fit Tech 2 modules so
10416s	you can't like faction fit the tank on
10418s	most of your ships in the game you have
10419s	to go with Tech 2 that means like your
10421s	fitting is a lot more constrained the
10423s	actual survivability is more constrained
10425s	of course the damage is more constrained
10426s	as well but you sometimes have these
10428s	ships that are just like you could get
10431s	so much more DPS out of them but you're
10432s	just not going to and you cannot tank
10434s	against some of the unless unless
10436s	tuskers then you just don't care
10437s	polarized when polarized Blaster EOS is
10440s	when miror come on do it polarized
10443s	Blaster EOS is would expect it no no one
10446s	would expect it I would expect it but I
10448s	would heavily judge them afterwards cuz
10449s	they probably feed it would be a heck of
10451s	a feed all right so let's head over to
10454s	the the arena very shortly this is going
10455s	to be the last of our uh matches that go
10458s	in into the top sort four in the upper
10461s	bracket so these are all top six winning
10462s	teams at this point um we'll go for a
10464s	break and I believe during that break CP
10467s	Swift will be here to tell us about the
10468s	results of the CSM election so that'll
10470s	be very exciting until then let's head
10472s	over to the arena for this
10474s	match hello I am moderator joined by
10477s	Wingnut cross hoping that I am not about
10478s	to be handed an L so I don't know if you
10483s	feel threatened right now but I feel
10484s	maximally threatened by A Mir matchup
10487s	there's going to be this match is going
10489s	to last probably all of about five
10491s	minutes both teams willing in at nearly
10493s	identical ranges and having nearly
10495s	identical comps so this is something
10498s	that I am not too surprised by when I
10501s	see these bands um when you look at a
10503s	lot of tracking disruption you look at
10505s	um some of the kind of control bands
10507s	that are out um it makes sense in my
10510s	opinion to bring um a comp that does
10512s	very well economically for the points
10514s	that you bring and Max thre is a very
10516s	well-rounded comp so Odin's call they're
10518s	going to be very familiar with how this
10520s	comp is ran likewise so is barcode yeah
10523s	and this is almost an entirely perfect
10525s	mirror down to the frigs and that's
10529s	where we get some difference one team
10531s	bringing double mors other one bringing
10533s	Ms hyena so a bit of extra application
10534s	but that double molus has the potential
10536s	to be very annoying yes likewise however
10539s	so is a Hena it's really going to depend
10541s	in the first couple seconds when we see
10543s	who gets the damps and who gets them
10544s	better right but who dies cuz they might
10546s	just delete these FRS no they're going
10547s	for vigilance of crazy is getting shot
10551s	and goes down instantly that's huge
10553s	however we're going to see again a trade
10555s	um Odin is going to go for the Vigilant
10557s	and barode is going to go for the MLL so
10560s	now mollus on the side of barcode is
10563s	going to be able to continue to damp
10564s	things out and it looks like they're
10566s	going to go for the lodgy of uh blank
10568s	and then they're damping out his buddy
10570s	so what the play is here is to make sure
10572s	that blank can't get reps because his
10573s	buddy is now damped out because the only
10575s	remaining mollus belongs to barcode
10577s	barcode still has a Vigilant down into
10580s	armor and this is where we're talking
10581s	about we're 40 seconds in and I think
10583s	barod won it just off that exactly yeah
10584s	here's the thing that hyena at the start
10586s	that Hy is provided extra application to
10588s	make this deacons just die they can
10589s	apply easily this is just destructive
10591s	and the V Vigilant still alive they
10593s	haven't lost damage yet the V Vigilant
10595s	is still alive no the Vigilant is
10596s	actually repping up and here's actually
10598s	basically the difference right you have
10600s	the hyena pains and that makes these
10602s	Lodi frig so much more easy to hit Y
10604s	people underestimate it significantly
10606s	they're going to kill the other viil
10607s	before they kill theirs they the same
10609s	damage man I was ready to have to hold
10611s	this L but I mean Odin's absolutely just
10613s	got skill difference um barcode here
10615s	absolutely showing why the barcode is
10619s	you know going to be absolutely printing
10622s	wins and skins so Odin's call uh in
10626s	their restar is now being primaried and
10628s	again I tear uh still holding on here I
10633s	I'm just they man they were shoot the
10635s	Vigilant from start until now and they
10637s	couldn't even kill the vigilant before
10639s	the opposing team had killed off their
10641s	support and their
10643s	logy and then they're Vigilant they're
10644s	still there like they're just I'm amazed
10647s	about you've got all this damage in the
10648s	world you haven't been able to use it
10650s	nothing's really stopping you and
10651s	without giving too much of the the
10653s	barcode uh you know cookbook away I mean
10656s	this is basically like the third time in
10657s	a row that barcode has brought
10660s	essentially this Max threat comp in a
10662s	row so they're going to make it to you
10665s	know play the tuskers in the next match
10668s	and they have
10669s	literally nothing but Ma threat the
10671s	entire time they're probably one of the
10672s	few teams left that have managed to keep
10674s	their a a cards close to their chest and
10676s	hidden so that we honestly don't know I
10678s	mean you do I don't know what barode has
10681s	in the tank ready to go well they're
10684s	ready to basically take out this Navy
10685s	bruix and now it looks like the top row
10687s	is going to be the primary I will say
10689s	that barod barode right is this is a uh
10693s	a match that um you're going to scrim a
10696s	lot right like uh again Max thread is a
10698s	comp position that has been brought for
10701s	like the last 3 to 4 years it's
10703s	something that you are going to be
10704s	testing a lot of your other comps
10706s	against high damage CES have been a very
10707s	consistent thing yeah and really again
10710s	this is going to be uh something that
10712s	when we watched evasive maneuvering
10713s	right it was a very very close match
10715s	both teams flying this very well but
10717s	again barcode putting people on notice
10720s	this is a comp that usually trades out
10722s	very evenly and saying hey we're going
10724s	to mirror match you and we're going to
10726s	200 nil you yeah that's the scary part
10728s	right it is a mirror match with a
10730s	perfect 200 to zero that is that is
10734s	actually kind of worrying I'm not going
10736s	to lie yeah I mean I'm glad to say it's
10739s	an absolutely dominant performance I was
10740s	going to say this match wasn't even
10742s	going to last four minutes but it might
10743s	not even get that far I mean the Navy
10745s	Prophecy of the Paradigm is the final
10747s	ship and iter surviving actually I say
10750s	Striker Striker you better not die we're
10752s	taking a share away from
10755s	you well and he's being ripped he's safe
10758s	he's safe your a we're good crisis
10760s	averted okay I tease a little bit a
10762s	striker uh previously uh the M pilot who
10765s	against evasive maneuvering played
10767s	lights out uh really well played here by
10770s	barcode I am so glad that I do not have
10772s	to hold an L I get to get a W uh for
10775s	this match and we're going to send it
10776s	back to the desk and then to uh halftime
10779s	uh to let these teams take a bit of a
10781s	break and uh get ready for the next set
10783s	of matches
10800s	all right welcome back everyone to
10802s	Alliance tournament 20 coverage just
10804s	kidding this is csm1 19 coverage now we
10807s	have taken over I know there's lots of
10809s	people in twitch chat who are a little
10811s	bit anxious to see where they placed in
10813s	csm1 19 uh but with the help of CCB
10816s	convict some numbers and your voting uh
10819s	we are going to find out who is going to
10821s	be on csm1 19 in just a couple
10824s	minutes but before we go uh let's take a
10826s	look at CSM 18 uh huge shout out to this
10830s	wonderful group of players we had 12 uh
10832s	that went down to 11 because of uh Mark
10835s	resurrect is betraying everyone and
10837s	becoming CCP
10839s	yoten he did just woo maybe you guys got
10842s	to hear that but seriously a big thank
10843s	you to csm1 18 they've been instrumental
10846s	in this past year and I put in an seen
10849s	amount of work so uh golf claps in chat
10852s	for everyone there uh but now this is
10855s	what you're all kind of waiting for
10857s	running into csm1 19 we had a very high
10860s	number of candidates running for
10861s	election uh 47 to be exact um well 47
10866s	approved candidates to be exact uh and
10869s	kind of here's where they are between
10870s	our own interviews several Community
10873s	interviews and just a lot excuse me a
10876s	lot of posts we've heard so much about
10879s	them um but you're you're here for the
10881s	votes right uh we use the STV system
10884s	which allows voters to choose up to uh
10887s	10 candidates in a ranked preference uh
10889s	we really love this system but sometimes
10891s	it can be kind of hard to visualize how
10894s	that whole thing works out uh so we're
10896s	going to walk you through this process
10898s	right now uh as you can see right now
10901s	these are the number of First Place
10903s	votes that candidates received um this
10906s	doesn't mean that this is you know
10908s	exactly how they're going to end up but
10911s	let's just put that in order a little
10912s	bit so we can see kind of how that lines
10916s	up uh yeah you can see cads and Luke
10919s	they have a bunch of votes uh in fact
10923s	they've got so many votes they are
10924s	instantly elected to csm1 19 they are
10927s	our first ones to uh join the ballot
10931s	they are also incumbents so you know a
10933s	lot of uh support behind them and the
10935s	work that they already have
10937s	done uh but then you know things kind of
10940s	move around we're in round one there is
10942s	a quot of votes uh and if you go over
10945s	that quota as you can see those votes
10947s	get distributed within the system they
10949s	don't get thrown out so people that
10951s	voted for casir had zint on the number
10955s	two ballot so many of them in fact that
10957s	zage managed to get
10959s	4,4 votes uh up from the 560 first place
10963s	votes that he originally
10966s	had uh so yeah good job zage it looks
10969s	like he's over the quota of
10971s	3246 uh so he will be the next candidate
10976s	elected of course we also have Luke who
10979s	had a bunch of
10980s	overvotes uh and those votes get
10982s	distributed within the system as well so
10985s	those 1393 votes it looks like if you
10989s	had Luke on your ballot number one a lot
10992s	of people had Kenneth Feld number two on
10995s	their ballot so those votes spill over
10997s	to Kenneth
10998s	but that isn't enough to get Kenneth
11000s	Feld elected so he stays in the system
11003s	we do this whole thing move it around
11005s	and uh keld moves into the sixth spot
11008s	well tentatively the sixth spot uh the
11011s	only thing we know for sure right now is
11013s	that Cass Luke and zage have been
11016s	elected and because the first round is
11019s	the craziest round we have zage with
11022s	overvotes as well so his votes now need
11025s	to be redistributed and uh let's see
11028s	where they go in the
11030s	system yep if you're djck you're feeling
11033s	pretty good right about now your team
11034s	might have been eliminated but you got
11037s	you picked up a whole bunch of votes and
11039s	you had 1337 votes to begin with you
11042s	felt pretty lucky there
11044s	anyways so DJ grabs a bunch of a bunch
11047s	of zin's votes and again we reorder
11051s	things hopefully Kenneth didn't get too
11053s	comfortable in the sixth spot because he
11054s	got bumped down by DJ uh who now takes
11057s	over in
11058s	6th my goodness what a crazy round it's
11061s	going to be uh and we've got uh I think
11064s	30 something rounds to go through but
11067s	you know a couple rounds uh some of the
11069s	early rounds uh not the most exciting
11072s	but they're still incredibly
11074s	important so uh you know there's kind of
11078s	more things that happen right uh you
11080s	know it's not every single vote that
11081s	goes from C to zage and not every single
11084s	vote goes from zage uh to DJ there's a
11087s	little bit of stuff in between between
11088s	there so let's kind of move that around
11090s	and rearrange our
11092s	candidates all right there we have it
11095s	the order is updated we've got our
11098s	candidates moving into the next spot and
11102s	it's time to begin the STV process so
11106s	what's going to happen now is the
11108s	candidate with the least amount of first
11110s	place votes is going to be eliminated
11113s	their votes assuming there are you know
11116s	someone put something in number two on
11117s	that ballot are going to be
11119s	redistributed within the system the
11122s	quota is going to be reduced and then
11124s	going to rerun this whole simulation
11126s	again to see where those votes go so
11130s	unfortunately for atheist of fail we
11133s	have to say
11134s	goodby uh Boop goodbye atheist to
11138s	failure 15 first place votes will now
11141s	get redistributed into the system like I
11143s	was saying and then we'll kind of skip
11146s	ahead in this process
11149s	um as I was saying again you'll see the
11151s	quota go down round by round and there
11154s	are two ways a candidate can get
11156s	elected the way that we've seen first is
11160s	get more votes than the quota uh and
11163s	then the second way is just survive uh
11166s	right so it's going to be you know as
11168s	you can see there's we're removing small
11170s	numbers going forward from here so we're
11173s	going to skip a few steps uh just you
11176s	know because we want to get back back to
11178s	the at match we want to see who's
11179s	finishing uh but also it's a little bit
11182s	easier to visualize when you see a few
11185s	hundred votes get redistributed rather
11187s	than you know a couple
11191s	dozen all right atheist of fail uh you
11195s	are gone redest ha aerodynam Colby
11199s	Commander Shephard
11202s	scks mopat uh these candidates were now
11206s	uh removed one after the other and their
11210s	um votes have been redistributed within
11212s	the system you can see now we're uh
11215s	We've skipped to round seven uh and we
11217s	still only have three candidates
11219s	elected but we can update the order and
11222s	we can also uh you know see where we are
11225s	now uh the top 10 kind of look pretty
11228s	much the same as they did before but
11231s	other people have you know moved you can
11233s	see how close uh millant ARC Trooper is
11236s	to NEOS shocker separated by just one
11238s	vote uh Augustine Augustus and Grim of
11240s	the Mad are only two votes separating
11242s	each other and these are crucial spots
11244s	right because of how it works the one
11246s	with the least amount of votes it's
11248s	eliminated so we're eliminating here
11250s	from the bottom
11252s	up uh but let's skip a couple more
11254s	rounds just so we can kind of see things
11256s	a little bit more clearly and see how
11258s	things are shaping up with the
11262s	votes uh we say goodbye to frippy Grim
11265s	of the Mad Augustine Augustus NEOS
11268s	shcker Milan AR Trooper hexor gaming
11272s	bexi songweaver scale Orana prospector
11276s	shiplock and Frozen Fallout special
11279s	shout out to all these candidates uh
11281s	they did some amazing interviews got a
11283s	lot of their uh words out we got to hear
11285s	a lot about what they thought was very
11287s	important for Ev online this is a
11289s	crucial part of the CSM process as well
11291s	you can have a dramatic influence just
11294s	by running just by talking about what
11295s	you think is important and starting
11297s	these
11298s	conversations but uh these candidates
11301s	have been eliminated but their votes
11302s	have not been lost as you can see the
11304s	quot has only gone down by a little bit
11307s	which means that the number of exhausted
11309s	votes uh has been very very small so if
11312s	you voted for Frozen Fallout or had him
11315s	somewhere in your ballot and you had
11317s	someone lower than that in your ballot
11319s	who's still there those votes still stay
11321s	in the system uh in fact let's kind of
11324s	see how that looks
11325s	out and you can see even uh kind of in
11328s	the top there's been a little bit of a
11330s	shakeup uh if we were to stop the
11332s	election right now that Top Line would
11334s	be our CSM uh but nope that is not going
11337s	to be our CSM spoiler alert we still
11340s	have a long way to go and more votes
11343s	kind of move around the system uh let's
11346s	not go too far ahead on this one let's
11348s	just jump uh really quickly just a few
11350s	more rounds up to round
11355s	22 so we say goodbye to
11358s	switch for orus Kom Sunder and Steve
11361s	Martis in those next five rounds uh and
11365s	we kind of let's let's also see where
11366s	those votes moveed now as you can see as
11368s	we're getting further through the rounds
11370s	we've got more votes to move through the
11373s	system so it started with a couple dozen
11375s	now it's a couple hundred this is where
11377s	some big changes uh can potentially
11379s	happen and you can see even in the very
11381s	top line uh people moved around mck
11384s	fightmaster overtook the Oz uh delos is
11387s	up there stto and Mike as a Rya are kind
11389s	of neck and neck kha and mashon so close
11393s	to each other uh rots and young puke
11395s	only one vote separates them uh this is
11398s	getting really really
11401s	tight but uh as we go through uh let's
11405s	kind of go and let's skip another five
11408s	uh five rounds just to see how this
11409s	starts to to shape
11411s	up all right series Pro cros Gideon
11415s	zendar anai and Dutch Gunner
11418s	unfortunately are all eliminated uh now
11421s	crucially why did we jump these five
11423s	rounds well we now have 20 candidates
11425s	left so let's kind of see uh how how
11429s	those ballots now shake up you can see
11431s	Ariel Ren moves into fourth uh position
11436s	uh getting really close to the quota the
11438s	quota is still quite High we've
11440s	exhausted very few votes again another
11443s	reason we love the STV system is because
11446s	votes don't leave the system if you vote
11448s	for candidates and you have you know a
11450s	good ballot uh a good number of people
11452s	on your ballot there's a really good
11454s	chance your vote's going to stay all the
11456s	way until the end and someone that you
11458s	like is going to be receiving that
11462s	vote but let's go ahead a little bit
11465s	more and uh just see how it's going to
11467s	be actually you know what let's let's
11469s	tidy it up we've got uh we had to say
11471s	goodbye to us of people now it looks
11472s	like you know we've got more people
11474s	eliminated than our left uh let's let's
11477s	check out final 20 uh head to
11482s	head all right so why do we focus on 20
11486s	um well 10 of these candidates will be
11489s	directly elected right you already have
11491s	casir Luke and zage those are definitely
11494s	going to be on csm1 19 um the next seven
11497s	of the highest vote Getters that you
11499s	elect will be on to CSM 19 as well but
11503s	CCP recently introduced a an addition to
11506s	the CSM we expand Ed the system a little
11509s	bit to account for 12 people on the CSM
11513s	and in that we um you know can select
11517s	two people who finish in the top 20 so
11519s	we want people who or rather we want
11522s	candidates who have received a lot of
11524s	votes it is hard to get to this spot on
11527s	the CSM trust me I ran for CSM several
11530s	times as a player I lost three times
11532s	before getting elected finally uh and
11536s	then after I got elected as a alternate
11538s	I finally got elected onto the CSM then
11540s	after that I was like okay no more I
11542s	give up uh so it is a grueling run to
11544s	get there uh but yeah we can choose two
11548s	people to kind of round out the
11549s	experience of the CSM focus on you know
11551s	we know what we're as CCP are going to
11553s	be doing in the future uh so we kind of
11556s	want you know that type of experience on
11559s	the CSM and if we don't see it in the
11561s	elected 10 we do want to take from that
11564s	uh expanded list of
11566s	10 but as we move to round 28 as you can
11569s	see Drake Iden uh is only 70 votes away
11573s	from Gustav but that's not enough to
11575s	save him so we say goodbye to Drake but
11579s	now that we have fewer candidates and a
11581s	lot of votes are being thrown around uh
11584s	we're going to take a little bit more
11585s	time round by round just to see exactly
11588s	where these votes are
11590s	distributed uh so as you can see if we
11593s	kind of picture his votes Drake's votes
11596s	like this we'll see exactly how they go
11599s	and DJ gets a bunch stto gets a bunch
11602s	Mick fight Master actually gets the most
11604s	the Oz gets quite a bit and of course
11607s	makes sense Phantom would get some too
11610s	so now let's uh tally them all together
11612s	and see how that works out and also
11614s	we'll say goodbye to Gustav Manfred uh
11617s	Gustav Manfred is the next in was the
11619s	next in line and we'll see where his
11622s	votes go so again you can see these are
11626s	some of the big chunks of his votes
11630s	D Gustav sends a bunch of his votes over
11633s	to the Oz this is important for the Oz
11635s	because you know he's kind of fallen in
11637s	the back there a little bit getting to a
11640s	a point where he might get eliminated
11642s	but Mike Azariah also gets a ton of
11644s	these votes right so somewhere on your
11646s	ballot at least 71 of you had gustoff
11649s	somewhere and Mike Azariah just below
11651s	him uh so you know Mike's going to be
11654s	feeling a little bit better at this
11656s	process
11657s	uh but again we're going to have to say
11660s	goodbye to another candidate rots uh you
11665s	know run ran a great campaign got very
11668s	far uh 17th spot uh but will be
11672s	eliminated but before that let's just
11673s	kind of shake things up you'll see how
11675s	things moved around after Gustav's votes
11678s	get kind of tallied uh Oz feels a lot
11681s	better in that spot Mike gets uh a
11684s	little bump uh he's still very close to
11686s	stto
11688s	uh but is in kind of range of D Rose
11690s	over there as well uh so rotz your 661
11694s	votes uh not enough you're eliminated at
11697s	Round 30 uh but let's see where they go
11701s	uh a couple big chunks
11704s	here all right maybe didn't expect that
11706s	one uh rosz sends a lot of his votes
11710s	over to Kenneth Feld uh some you know
11713s	industry love over there uh and of
11715s	course stto also grabs a a shocking
11718s	amount uh you know it shows you how
11720s	diverse R's campaign was uh he gets
11723s	people uh from kind of all over the
11725s	place uh MC fightmaster picks up 60 D ja
11728s	one ey picks up 48 uh really impressive
11731s	stuff and now let's kind of reorder
11733s	things and see how it's shaping up this
11735s	is getting to the part where my Palms
11737s	are getting sweaty if I'm here uh just
11740s	barely hanging on uh mashon or you may
11745s	know him by another name uh gets
11748s	eliminated and let's see where his votes
11750s	start to go again another diverse set of
11752s	votes but there's a lot look at that 171
11754s	where is that going to go oh Oz picks it
11758s	up that cheeky bugger uh Mike Azariah
11760s	also with a big windfall there trying to
11763s	survive trying to just move up as much
11766s	as he can we see this year after year
11768s	from Mike uh caselle adron also picks up
11771s	uh quite a few in that one uh and those
11773s	are crucial because she would be next on
11775s	The Chopping Block
11778s	all
11780s	right cool uh very next we have uh you
11784s	know kha we talked about how close she
11786s	was picking up votes not enough
11788s	unfortunately CU sha adron uh is next at
11791s	Round 31 to be eliminated uh and then
11795s	coming on CSM 18 uh gave amazing
11798s	feedback uh and let's see where her
11800s	votes go oh my god there are two big
11803s	chunks here 284 and
11805s	244 where do they go Mike Azariah and
11808s	the Oz fellow incumbents picking up the
11811s	Lion Share there uh and let's kind of
11813s	reorder things a bit to uh young puke is
11817s	the next to go uh snuck in there coming
11821s	from faction Warfare again has a lot of
11823s	votes we expect a lot of these to go to
11826s	people like stto uh but you know they go
11828s	to Kenneth Feld as well Mike Azariah and
11830s	the Oz and we're just going to keep
11833s	clearing through here Phantom might
11836s	csm5 uh Legacy member is now getting to
11840s	the point where he is eliminated stto
11842s	just barely holding on a little bit
11844s	longer and let's see where his votes go
11848s	oh my goodness this is getting tight
11851s	Mike azay picks up 80 but stto picks up
11854s	a whopping 170 here m fight Master with
11858s	175 and the Oz just keeps gaining some
11862s	uh again as we're kind of going through
11864s	that aiel Ren got elected as well uh
11867s	Ariel ended up uh having more votes than
11869s	the quota so uh you know we've got Cass
11873s	Luke zage DJ and Ariel Ren uh and now
11877s	we're really fighting for the next spots
11879s	here let's update that order and oh my
11882s	God stto feels amazing man five votes
11886s	separate the next three candidates five
11890s	votes save stto from elimination but
11893s	Mike Azariah is the one on The Chopping
11895s	Block uh on this CSM a countless number
11899s	of times six uh and Driver of the Magic
11902s	School Bus Let's see where his votes uh
11904s	end up going through the system stto
11908s	what is he doing he picks up 500 votes
11910s	almost from Mike Azariah and a bunch
11912s	also go to the Oz there so whoop let's
11916s	move things up Oz catapults up to the
11919s	next spot uh and now Dow Rose is on The
11922s	Chopping Block Dow Rose first time
11924s	running on the CSM um but you know again
11927s	as Mike is eliminated and those votes go
11930s	through uh the Ozz and storm delay end
11934s	up having more votes than the quota
11937s	because the quota has shrunk so here are
11940s	some members of your csm1 19 we still
11943s	have a few to go and it's getting tight
11945s	out there so Doos where do your votes go
11948s	oh that's a big chunk that's a big chunk
11951s	it goes over to stto again just stealing
11954s	a bunch of votes 64 three votes go from
11958s	stto he is no longer the last in the
11961s	elimination also Kenneth Fel grabs
11964s	enough votes from delos to get elected
11966s	welcome back Kenneth and let's see what
11969s	happens now oh s jumps all the way up
11972s	and this is it this is how we do it I
11976s	tear barcode Alliance Captain the last
11979s	one to get eliminated uh it doesn't
11981s	matter where your votes go because
11983s	there's no candidates left we've got our
11985s	10 cas Luke anen Zin janaka DJ Wai Ariel

12035s	voting thanks for everything and we'll
12036s	see you out there soon welcome back to
12039s	Alliance tournament 20 I am CCB Overlord
12042s	joined once again by mystical might and
12044s	the ever joyful CCB Swift C how are you
12047s	today I am Jolly Jolly as ever amazing
12050s	matches csm1 19 results yay yeah any uh
12055s	uh any amazing matches that you
12056s	specifically wanted to share out there's
12058s	been some awesome moments so far today
12060s	the truth on our light match was uh
12062s	pretty great uh it was it was fun
12064s	watching them it was fun watching things
12066s	almost explode y uh and you know it's a
12070s	lot of uh familiar faces on that team
12072s	for me uh Lucas Quan former uh PL pilot
12076s	blue melon also FW PL Casper boundar for
12079s	PL so yeah like to like to watch them
12081s	explode yeah you're intimately familiar
12083s	with the boundary as well I believe uh
12085s	never in the alliance tournament have I
12087s	boundary violated I would just like to
12088s	point that out that was some other
12091s	lesser
12092s	tournament uh but yeah after that I was
12094s	always placed in the uh in the slow Ship
12096s	Without a prop mod nice for safety and
12099s	of course CSM results just came out uh
12101s	we went through the very complicated
12102s	single transferable vote system but we
12105s	got this democratically elected Council
12107s	of Stell management some interesting new
12108s	faces in there this is going to be a
12110s	good CSM I think yes uh not STDs but
12113s	stvs single transferable votes um but
12117s	yeah it's been amazing just to watch how
12119s	these votes matriculate through the
12120s	system uh stto probably loves this
12123s	system more than anyone else uh
12125s	especially now because he went from like
12127s	20th position to eighth in the matter of
12130s	like four or five people um but yeah I'm
12133s	really excited for csm1 19 we have some
12135s	incumbents in there so a lot of
12136s	experience coming back and a lot of new
12138s	faces from all over the place uh Mick
12141s	fight master I know is going to be a
12143s	wormholer by the way yeah uh so yeah
12146s	we'll have some Wormhole representation
12148s	I tear just an 11th spot uh can't can't
12152s	win them all you can't win your match
12154s	and the CSM apparently but you know I
12157s	think you'd rather win AI more in 20
12159s	probably yeah you were called out
12160s	directly in chat by show pointing out
12163s	the Lions tournament 14 Grand finals uh
12165s	I think that might be uh sometime you
12167s	may have boundary violated in the
12168s	alliance tournament nope fake
12170s	news all right let's take a look at the
12172s	bands for our next match which is till
12174s	Doomsday versus rage quck cancel sub so
12176s	this is an elimination match uh again
12178s	we're back to elimination matches we're
12179s	with the losers once again we shall
12181s	return to the winners later but for now
12183s	only losers uh so till doomsday Banning
12185s	out the abadon the mollus the Sentinel
12187s	the Armageddon Navy issue and rage quit
12189s	Banning out the Loki arbitrator cruci
12191s	far and Sentinel CP Swift what are your
12193s	thoughts on these bands here uh I like
12195s	the abadon band you know I think that
12196s	team that like that double the bad and
12198s	core setup has been giving people a lot
12200s	of trouble uh if you want to do some
12202s	kind of cheeky things it's so annoying
12205s	to just have to deal with right like you
12207s	have all these setups that you have um
12209s	and you kind of as you kind of imagine
12211s	how The Meta evolves you start seeing
12214s	these aband you're like oh man this
12216s	aband really puts a cramp in my style so
12218s	getting rid of that there's nothing
12219s	really that can replace it the same
12221s	exact way we've seen people try with a
12223s	lot of different setups but you know the
12225s	abad's a good thing to give get rid of
12227s	and of course the Sentinel probably the
12229s	most annoying ship in the game right
12231s	like it just gets on you if it gets on
12233s	your lodgy your LOD is screwed uh it's
12236s	got tracking disruptors for you know the
12238s	medium gun gun spam which is uh
12240s	something we've been seeing a lot of uh
12243s	yeah just get rid of the Sentinel like
12244s	it yep and of course um till doomsday
12246s	only dropped down um after losing to
12248s	platinum sensitivity earlier on they
12250s	knocked uh fraternity down in the first
12252s	match of allance ran 20 fraternity are
12254s	now uh sitting at home Happy least got
12257s	someone in the CSM but they they didn't
12259s	didn't win any more matches sorry M uh
12261s	all right so let's head over to the
12262s	arena for this match which here in the
12264s	Lance tournament
12267s	20 welcome back to the arena my name is
12269s	shirana joined by the lovely start fleet
12271s	commander and we are getting ready to go
12273s	on the red side it is to Doomsday who've
12275s	once again brought their double EOS zarm
12277s	setup what have Rage Quit cancel sub
12279s	brought rage quit bringing a star
12281s	Absolut and zard as well so two um
12283s	single logy on the on on both teams like
12287s	both teams can only rip one ship at a
12289s	time I I I actually like to Doomsday's
12291s	comp into into rage quit I think it does
12295s	have uh potential DPS issues if you look
12297s	at the attack bar Rage Quit is going to
12298s	get a little bit bigger till doomsday is
12300s	going to get a lot bigger once the
12301s	drones come out um but really it's going
12303s	to come down to These Arm pilots and the
12305s	Target priation and Target switching
12308s	yeah um ragequit cancel sub a lot easier
12310s	to switch between targets because they
12311s	have guns instead of drones uh meanwhile
12313s	till doomsday lumahan has actually been
12315s	able to keep up with Target switch
12317s	on that previous fights at the same time
12320s	so is Nexium earlier on today inos so
12324s	really going to come down to these ly
12325s	pilots and see how there's a lot of DPS
12327s	from both these teams basically no
12329s	control uh you see the control bar a
12331s	little bit bigger for to Doomsday but
12333s	that's mostly in some of those utility
12335s	meds and tackle and NES that you're
12337s	going to have on those EOS both teams
12339s	having highas as well which is which is
12341s	so important and looks like Road quick
12344s	going for the for the Z as Target number
12347s	one and then to Doomsday going for the
12348s	hyena but I think the damage if I mean
12351s	are the centes out or it is it so so I'm
12354s	looking it is Imperial Navy acolyte so
12357s	this is Heavies uh coming out from till
12360s	doomsday straight to the hyena straight
12361s	to the hyena importantly though both Zs
12364s	uh pred on the hyena once Kat one got up
12367s	to speed the zarm doesn't have to prpo
12368s	on the hyena anymore because then you
12370s	know not really under threat but this
12372s	hyena going to have to full SPO the arm
12374s	reps uh pretty quickly up against these
12377s	drones as I say that the hyena gets we
12379s	down and oh my gosh instantly gone
12382s	completely annihilated I mean it's I
12384s	mean that was so quick it was Kit Kat
12386s	maybe out of position there and just
12388s	getting absolutely voied by Rage Quit
12390s	huge win for Rage Quit to get the hyena
12392s	down I mean they thought Kit Kat was
12394s	going to be alive but actually got hit
12396s	by a web I think that was the other
12397s	hyena for hyen on hyen action and when
12399s	you do that all of a sudden the entirety
12401s	of the medium gun span is able to
12403s	converge on that one Target and that's
12405s	the target you want to take out right
12406s	now they're onto this vexer it's
12408s	receiving some of these arm webs but
12409s	there is no really longrange webs or any
12412s	sort of paints from till doomsday
12413s	they've really lost their application
12415s	now till I think they're going to
12416s	struggle now to kill anything if they
12418s	couldn't kill a hyena he's been proled
12419s	they're going to have to go for
12420s	something else I'm not really seeing any
12421s	damage coming down now we're seeing
12422s	damage coming down on the zarm for rage
12424s	quit but I think it might be too late I
12425s	mean with the high down do you think
12427s	they can apply it really depends on how
12430s	the zarm is fit uh could be 50 amen
12432s	could be 100 amen I haven't really been
12433s	paying too much attention to the speed
12435s	cran 1,800 00 m/ second at the moment
12438s	now 2,000 m/ second uh so the zarm if
12441s	it's 50 MN fit uh might have multiple
12444s	reps on it and that is still difficult
12446s	to deal with with the uh drones even
12448s	though it has the higher Sig but the
12450s	Hond Dr man is going to outrun those
12451s	drones and have a low Sig he's also got
12453s	a smart bomb as well so he's going to
12454s	get some of the drones off and as we
12455s	always see the drones they kind of lose
12457s	connection they start going back and
12459s	they're sort of trailing behind the zarm
12460s	right now so damage is just really
12462s	lacking and also the highing is gone so
12464s	there's no replication so I I don't know
12466s	what two zooms they can do they can try
12468s	and maybe go for something a bit bigger
12470s	maybe's going to swap targets though
12472s	Noah currently the primary in that vexer
12474s	uh keeping Tundra up we see the rep
12478s	actually go off of todra and back on so
12481s	Noah in then actually ends up being a
12483s	sacrifice here but I mean look at the
12485s	Drone blob right now it is very confused
12488s	running after several targets I mean all
12491s	these drones are going after the zarm
12492s	and the zarm is just laughing and
12494s	running and tanking everything because
12496s	the hyena is down and keeps pre-spooled
12499s	on the hyena they cannot nuke this hyena
12501s	because it will face the full arm reps
12504s	nexum two currently staying very much
12506s	alive and his team has dropped logib
12508s	Bots uh to help out that zarm and keep
12511s	him up uh meanwhile uh really no sign of
12515s	a primary uh maybe actually the zarm
12518s	that got webbed up by the hyena oh they
12520s	got rage had the high so they have the
12522s	ability to basically kill anything on
12524s	two doom and to track anything on two
12525s	Doom's team I think to dunesday I I'm
12527s	kind of looking around and trying to see
12529s	is there a way through Rage Quit as it
12531s	stands so I mean it was a slight mistake
12533s	from lumahan taking the the zarm rep off
12537s	of the hyena early on we saw Lucius end
12541s	up going in grabbing the tackle on the
12543s	other hyena now finds the zarm As and
12545s	just like that till doomsday uh they
12547s	have no logi left they have no
12549s	application for their drones and they
12550s	are not killing this zarm they are not
12552s	killing this hyena they lose their ishar
12554s	that's another form of tackle gone now
12556s	the Navy is next and it looks like till
12558s	Doom are going to fall out of the
12560s	tournament here I'm I'm seeing scrams
12561s	and webs on your AAR Omen they maybe
12564s	they should just they should have put
12565s	the drones onto something they can
12566s	actually keep tackled because if because
12568s	so far they tried to go for the Zs and
12570s	he's just burnt off but also when both
12572s	hyenas were weing each other as be
12574s	another sh the na moris go down I'm
12576s	surprised the till doomsday Zam didn't
12578s	pre-re their hyena well he did off the
12581s	start of the match and then either the
12583s	hyena burned away Ki c one or just
12585s	stopped repping uh the Hy as it got up
12587s	to speed not thinking I was going to get
12588s	tackled by anything but my hyena has the
12591s	same range as your hyena and in fact my
12594s	hyena has worse or has better range
12596s	because I have an aard day whereas uh
12599s	the eos's have uh worse by 5% worse
12605s	matters it does matter it's game of
12607s	inches so uh unfortunately for T
12611s	doomsday they're going to get knocked
12612s	out of the alliance tourament top 12
12613s	still their best finish um in recent
12616s	memory Rage Quit cancel sub going on
12618s	going to secure the top eight position
12620s	uh both these teams have prize ships but
12621s	it's just more prize ships and uh more
12624s	Glory uh for every single ring up the
12627s	ladder that you go this prophecy now the
12629s	primary from RS cancel up and they're
12631s	only going to lose one Omen for clearing
12633s	the entirety of till doomsday I mean two
12635s	doomsday really good pilots and done so
12638s	well this tourament but rage quit
12640s	proving that they can take him down not
12643s	even problem but I think I do think two
12644s	Jes had a chance here I think could have
12646s	they could have broken maybe through but
12648s	rage quit just the damage that well we
12651s	blinked in the hyena was gone like that
12653s	was it then I think that was over but by
12655s	when the haa dies on two doomsday I
12656s	think that was basically the rings on
12658s	the wall yeah it's pretty unfortunate to
12660s	have your one kind of Lynch pin ship in
12662s	this comp hyena that just end up getting
12666s	away from your reps and then absolutely
12669s	nuked after getting hit by the enemy
12672s	hyena but again that's kind of the thing
12675s	about drone Dr comps when you have a
12677s	full DPS drone comp instead of some of
12679s	the Drone control setups that we've seen
12681s	uh you don't have like the longrange NES
12683s	that an Armageddon or arm nav isue will
12685s	bring you uh you don't have uh any of
12687s	the tracking disruption that arbitrators
12689s	will bring you right your full DPS and
12692s	you have tackle mods on all your ships
12693s	that's great but as we saw here they
12696s	were not able to control rage crit
12697s	cancel sub who just kind of played the
12700s	the right game at the right time found
12702s	the right tackle onto the right Target
12704s	and uh Snowball the game from there well
12705s	we're seeing fights in local and lots of
12708s	uh chat in local which is nice to see
12711s	lot of friendly chatter in local which
12713s	is always always good so I think I might
12716s	be wrong till doomday is the first team
12718s	out of the tournament this uh late that
12721s	has not fielded their flag shut up ble
12723s	this tournament I think so yeah they
12725s	have fielded which I'm surprised about
12727s	yeah I'm surprised about in Los bracket
12729s	especially this late you go for it most
12732s	all the other teams are doing it
12733s	everyone everyone wants to fi their flag
12734s	you might as well to secure those extra
12737s	yeah and and both these teams have
12738s	vindicators as their flagships that
12740s	would been cool that that would have
12741s	been really cool to see a flag on flag
12743s	Vindicator uh just wasn't the setup from
12745s	either of these teams uh till doomsday
12747s	you know three times they've taken this
12749s	uh EOS uh drone comp um they had some
12753s	very good piloting from various things
12754s	but uh they kind of faltered on the
12756s	medium gun spam earlier today they go
12757s	back to comfort and this time around
12759s	just once again slight piloting mistakes
12762s	you know slightly better links from gr
12764s	quit cancel sub um and they're out of
12766s	the tournament but uh still well flown
12769s	to till doomsday and well flown
12770s	obviously to rage quit cancel sub who
12772s	are now top eight I definitely think if
12774s	if rage quits High went down for some
12777s	reason yeah I think it would have been
12778s	it would have the other it's just so
12781s	it's so the Lynch pin of both comps are
12783s	just like one friger to a c to a certain
12785s	degree obviously but I think for two
12786s	doomsday it pretty much is there's
12788s	nothing really else on there that can
12789s	actually project or the webs or TP
12792s	there's nothing you have an iska for
12793s	tackle vex's are going to they're too
12795s	slow so it it lies all lies in the hyena
12798s	well I think it's also one of the more
12799s	beautiful things about the alliance
12800s	tournament right you can have these team
12802s	comps that rely on these uh smaller
12804s	ships uh as like your your kind of Lynch
12808s	pin instead of thinking of you know your
12809s	nulc fleets where everything is the big
12811s	you know DPS ship and you have a couple
12813s	of support ships here your support ships
12814s	are the most important and as we see R
12817s	qu cancel up identifies that uh take
12819s	till doomsday out of the tournament make
12820s	their way to the top eight this EOS is
12822s	about to die and then we're going to
12823s	send it to a quick break when we return
12825s	the desk will'll break that down and we
12827s	will be right back after this
12862s	welcome back till doomsday now
12864s	eliminated from Alliance tournament 20
12866s	they came in strong they defeated
12869s	Fraternity in the very first match they
12871s	then H had a few more pretty solid wins
12873s	but unfortunately that was no more Rage
12875s	Quit cancel sub are the ones that take
12876s	the dub in this particular instance uh
12879s	moderator break it down for me what
12880s	happened in that match so this was a
12882s	essentially drone control versus a
12884s	maximum uh threat that missile gun or
12887s	rather turret um spam uh setup and this
12890s	is what we would call uh kind of a bit
12892s	of a skill difference and that the uh
12895s	turret composition was able to really
12897s	just get on top of the other team
12899s	quickly the eos's were trying to
12901s	scramble drones across the arena for a
12903s	good amount of the manage and while
12905s	drones are moving they're also uh
12907s	consequently doing no
12909s	damage medium guns are always doing
12912s	damage as long as they're not tracking
12913s	disrupted and there is no sort of real
12915s	disruption and
12916s	uh essentially the DPS trade was just
12919s	essentially one uh rather quickly and um
12922s	as soon as the Drone comp lost their
12924s	hyena um we saw just how long it took to
12927s	try to chase uh that zarm as a primary
12929s	and they never got it so too much time
12931s	was spent on that and it's no B from
12934s	there yeah mtic M do you think they
12935s	could have done anything different there
12937s	till doomsday It's Tricky it feels like
12939s	it was more of a comp issue um the
12942s	travel time like M was saying with the
12944s	drones having to wait for your drones to
12945s	actually get across the the field before
12946s	you start applying damage whereas with
12948s	medium gun spam you're applying damage
12950s	instantly um makes it very difficult for
12952s	you to start trading effectively if you
12954s	mess up the first one or two praries
12956s	that you go for um we've seen other
12958s	teams use drone comps today where
12959s	they've used centuries which does have
12961s	instant application of damage um and if
12964s	they were going
12965s	for um you know I think that might have
12968s	been a better tactic for them to use mhm
12970s	cool awesome so all these teams are
12971s	actually uh priz ship enjoyers at this
12973s	point uh if you get top 16 in Alliance
12976s	tournament you get prize ships and this
12978s	year for the first time in a in a long
12980s	long time almost 20 years we are giving
12982s	away um limited edition battleships so
12985s	there are frig Cruisers like normal and
12987s	there's also a battleship so top 16 you
12989s	get at least one Battleship which is
12991s	pretty cool um in fact maybe we can take
12993s	a look at these ships uh and we'll walk
12995s	you through them so this is the Cobra
12997s	this is the force Recon uh so I'm
12999s	excited about this thing first of all I
13000s	think it looks absolutely a banging it
13002s	looks incredible um but it gets a bunch
13005s	of like funky bonuses including uh the
13007s	ability to fit a micro jump drive uh
13009s	which is a unique on a cruiser sized
13012s	Hull um so because it's a Recon it gets
13014s	cloak cover up cloak it can set it range
13017s	it can lock you from really far away and
13018s	then it can just uh jump down scram you
13021s	and do some some cool gaming moves yeah
13023s	I'm looking forward to it I'm I it's
13025s	probably the
13026s	one um at Cruiser that I want or at ship
13030s	out of this lot that I would want I
13032s	don't really do much with the python or
13034s	Black Ops in general don't really have a
13036s	for the frig but having a force Recon I
13038s	can empd around kind of sounds cool yeah
13039s	it does sound very cool and this is the
13040s	python you can see now this is a Black
13042s	Ops Battleship um it has a bonus which
13046s	scales negatively with sex status so
13048s	obviously um in the lore forance
13050s	tournament 20 it was initially sponsored
13052s	by Concord and then the GES came in um
13055s	and then just ruined the party uh and
13057s	they graffed all the Concord ships added
13058s	their own bonuses so they're going to be
13060s	pretty cool this is the side Winder uh
13062s	this is the cor Ops frig so these are
13064s	these are pretty powerful things and
13065s	like I said if you get top 16 then you
13067s	get two side winders two cobras and a
13069s	python top 12 which is where I think uh
13071s	we are now with till doomsday get four
13074s	cers four corpas and two pythons so
13076s	they're definitely going to be um prize
13078s	ship enjoyers um they should not accept
13081s	any contract with these price ships in
13083s	them um but I'm looking forward to
13085s	seeing these things out in TQ I think
13086s	they're going to be pretty good
13087s	moderator which one is your favorite so
13089s	I really like the python you kind of
13091s	have like this Mirror Image where the
13092s	Marshall right the Concord version of
13095s	this essentially gives you a bonus for
13096s	having high sex status right you know
13098s	Concord wants you to be a lawful Abiding
13100s	Citizen the GRE to say no I'm going to
13103s	be the devil on your shoulder and I'm
13105s	going to give you points for being a bad
13106s	boy or girl or you know them they listen
13109s	you can be anything in new Eden and what
13111s	we want you to do is be evil that's what
13113s	the greas are saying so that'll be very
13116s	very fun uh to see I'm expecting um you
13120s	know because we're reintroducing like
13122s	you said these battleships um again it's
13125s	been 20 years you used to have like the
13127s	uh megon you know Imperial issue or the
13130s	sorry the Abad and listen a a imperial
13133s	you've got the Raven State issue but
13134s	here's the problem it's been 20 years
13136s	some of these ships don't exist anymore
13138s	some of them there's like two of them
13139s	left and they're just sitting in
13140s	someone's hanger I'm excited I want to
13142s	see who's going to be like the first
13144s	person to lose one of these in a
13145s	hilarious way because we haven't had you
13147s	know an at Battleship die in like 20
13149s	years it's about time yep and I think um
13152s	it'll be interesting to see if now with
13154s	the current rules at least in all room
13155s	20 you can bring Alliance tournament
13157s	ships again in the meta of course no one
13159s	is elected this year they were priced
13161s	perhaps very aggressively but the option
13162s	was there so maybe next year now there's
13164s	a battleship on on board maybe we start
13166s	to see some of these things start to get
13167s	fielded uh the last time we saw uh any
13170s	sort of like tournament Battleship of
13171s	course was I think a l stream in 16 or
13173s	maybe 15 when blue melon and pandemic
13175s	Legion fed it a raven State issue
13177s	basically just to show that they could
13179s	uh as far as I remember it should have
13180s	been a a stomp comp and it was but it's
13182s	just to show hey we have this ship now
13184s	you have to think about it and I do
13185s	remember someone banned it from them
13187s	which meant it worked like it forced
13188s	someone to burn a ban so will we see
13190s	these next year who knows all righty
13192s	let's look at our next match which is
13193s	going to be paper numbers versus evasive
13195s	maneuvering so let's see the bands for
13198s	this so till doomsday Bing out the
13201s	crucifer The Sentinel the orthus and the
13203s	zorad Dillo um ra quit cancel sub
13206s	banding out the typhoon Fleet the
13207s	vulture the pilgrim and the slip
13210s	mystical might your thoughts on these
13212s	bands here I think it's kind of
13214s	interesting to see that the curs is
13215s	unbanned the arbitrator is unbanned at
13217s	this moment in time but you have the
13219s	pilgrim ban on the rage quit cancel
13221s	subside I believe these names are wrong
13223s	though I'm hoping the bands are right
13225s	because this match should be paper
13226s	numbers versus evasive maneuvering so oh
13228s	yes yeah I'm just going to assume that
13229s	is in fact the correct thing well we
13232s	could always uh wait and see check the
13235s	old fashioned way reading okay so bands
13238s	for paper numbers versus m maneuvering
13240s	crucifier Sentinel tyen Fleet issue
13242s	vulture or arm as had Pilgrim slep near
13244s	so right just the
13246s	um so I was going to say I think it's
13247s	interesting that the pilgrim was banned
13249s	in the second stage but the curse and
13251s	arbitrator weren't I think that
13253s	whichever team banned the pilgrim um was
13256s	aiming or at least believed that the
13258s	arbitrator and the curse would then be
13259s	follow-up banss following the crucifier
13261s	and the Sentinel but they weren't um so
13263s	we do still have two of those ships in
13265s	play and I would argue that those are
13267s	the two stronger ships um that you could
13269s	bring along um and I think it's also
13271s	interesting to see that there's a
13272s	vulture ban I'm not sure if it's just
13274s	something where they've practiced
13275s	together at some Point they've done some
13276s	scrims I don't know if it's like warmup
13277s	scrims or something and they've seen a
13281s	vulture effectively used probably in
13283s	something like medium gun spam vulture
13285s	hits at a couple things so vulture used
13287s	to be used in kind of a medium gun spam
13289s	but it's also weirdly applicable as part
13293s	of like a pseudo Tinker sort of
13295s	composition uh we also saw the orth
13297s	skting band which is a little bit um
13301s	different I'd say um it's been kind of
13303s	used in these mid-range kite setups and
13305s	we haven't really seen a lot of people
13307s	bring in orur so far so I don't know if
13310s	they're just kind of throwing things
13311s	together just trying to Target some like
13314s	outside stuff but the zarm ban I was
13316s	talking earlier about how when we saw
13318s	evasive maneuver bring that you know
13320s	their flag comp that Widow and the zarm
13322s	that it might might force people to
13324s	start Banning the zarm and here we see
13326s	it you know evasive maneuvering has put
13327s	the fear into people and now people are
13329s	starting to ban that zarm against them
13331s	and dissipating the typhoon Fleet issue
13334s	um that's a bit of a weird one Misty I
13336s	I'm not sure I like the typhoon Fleet
13338s	issue but we've seen it fielded a few
13339s	times it's not that bad it works it has
13341s	a lot of utility highs it does do a lot
13343s	of damage especially if it's fit with
13344s	rapid Heavies I just it feels like the
13347s	bands are slightly weird the reason I
13348s	wasn't so sure about the vulture is that
13349s	the fni like the the foox Navy issue
13351s	also does the job pretty effectively as
13354s	well um there are plenty of different
13356s	ships that you can bring for medium gun
13357s	spam and I don't think we've seen
13358s	vulture really effectively used in any
13360s	other comp apart from gunsman so it
13362s	seems like a weird one yeah I feel like
13363s	these bands are like very specifically
13364s	targeted against something that these
13366s	teams know about each other perhaps
13367s	they've practiced together perhaps they
13369s	just looked at what they'd like to bring
13370s	and you know they're making some sort of
13372s	educated guesses here or maybe they're
13373s	just trying to like Play Mind Games and
13375s	ban crazy things um I mean I was about
13377s	to say I suspect we might see um the uh
13380s	Widow the shack comp again because the
13383s	uh Widow is unbanned uh the zarm is
13385s	banned so we might see the guardian that
13387s	we talked about uh earlier on well the
13389s	Riva or the Riva and both teams are
13391s	bringing their Flagship so Flagship
13392s	armagedon Navy issue and Flagship L
13394s	Shack I'm just also watching uh sh in
13396s	twitch chat just like continuously
13398s	cashing out his his skins like he's done
13402s	half of them jeesus
13405s	show all right well I hope you guys keep
13407s	continuing to uh play with your channel
13409s	points CU um show apparently just wins
13411s	them all from you so let's head over to
13413s	the arena and see this exciting
13414s	elimination
13417s	match welcome back to the arena paper
13419s	numbers in the vas moving and we have
13420s	two flagships on grid don't we what do
13423s	AAS moving brought and Vas have brought
13426s	their flag lasack but not the same
13428s	lasack Widow control comp that we saw
13430s	earlier today they have instead brought
13432s	a version of as bbp has called it the
13434s	at16 comp with the lasack plus medium
13437s	gun Span lak in place of the born that
13440s	is traditional in that comp and paper
13442s	numbers Widow no again which is their
13444s	Flagship this Widow could be a big
13447s	problem for the L it could be a big
13450s	problem for the lak uh also could be a
13452s	big problem for the lak they've got an
13454s	arbitrator on this team uh we'll see if
13456s	it's uh full TD arbitrator based on uh
13459s	the fancy UI at the bottom of your
13461s	screen uh because you're not going to
13463s	just go on that lasack um obviously this
13466s	medium gun spam the Absolution Navy
13468s	prophecy these dual mullers The Omen uh
13470s	it's just a lot a lot a lot of damage
13473s	and that vigil very important to the
13475s	application of these medium guns you
13476s	need to take it off the ground
13478s	immediately as we see actually kite back
13480s	from the ewar wing of the paper numbers
13482s	Squad off the start they want to keep
13483s	this molus alive through the median gun
13485s	span tracking disruption on L Shack in
13487s	the Absolution so it's a 2-1 arbitrator
13489s	we're sort of seeing a very slow start
13491s	to the match at the moment V is moving
13493s	in from JY damage on the damage on the
13495s	molus and a bit on the Vengeance but I
13497s	think evasive maneuvering need to act
13500s	fast and probably maybe go for the Widow
13502s	if they can get through but I don't
13503s	think they can get to him that's the
13504s	problem well I mean it has to be screen
13507s	right uh this Widow is without a z armaz
13509s	paper numbers baned the zarm As and take
13511s	a widow that's not something we see very
13513s	often typically you see a widow paired
13514s	with his zarm or AAS maneuvering
13516s	actually brought Widow L Shack and I
13518s	think you
13519s	onos the Vengeance down yeah got tackled
13522s	on the Absolution but is taking damage
13525s	right now painted up by that vigil
13526s	getting some reps back from the onos
13528s	parkbank very good logy pilot in his own
13529s	right and uh is trying to keep this
13531s	Vengeance alive as uh he has been
13533s	grappled up but now gets away from those
13534s	grapples the Absolution getting full SPO
13536s	his arm reps and it's time for new
13538s	primaries for both these teams I think
13539s	so I mean Pap is not really damaging
13541s	much at the moment but the vengeance is
13543s	taking a lot of damage but he is holding
13544s	as as you said I think they probably
13546s	don't even need to go for um they can
13548s	just Jam the Riva I'm I'm surprised the
13550s	lack of damaging right now well I mean
13551s	that's what they're trying to do is we
13553s	see the jam effects uh pretty much all
13555s	yellow jams from that Widow are on that
13557s	Riva right now this Vengeance living so
13560s	long but eventually is going to go down
13562s	you'd have to imagine this medium gun
13564s	span has a lot of range and they only
13566s	have tracking disruptions on a shack and
13568s	the Absolution of the vengeance is
13569s	staying alive and in fact they tackled
13571s	to vexer instead and the Vengeance stays
13573s	alive but now JY and the vexer might be
13575s	the primary it might be this Confessor
13576s	of Arwin yeah I think the Confessor
13578s	would probably be next Target he's uh oh
13580s	the Absolution but already faf got
13582s	jammed the riva's got Jam no nothing SP
13586s	with fafy they've noticed it trying to
13587s	get him down and this is the thing with
13589s	the Widow just need that one Jam removes
13591s	the spoiling up as well so fafy waffy
13593s	when he gets the Reps on which land now
13595s	it's going to be quite a long a while
13596s	probably around a minute or so until he
13598s	gets actually to Max reps Jam damp and
13600s	scram on this molus of Alexander as well
13603s	trying to get that molus down and again
13604s	getting that jam on the Riva so the
13606s	Widow doing a very good job and not
13608s	getting caught by anything at the moment
13610s	keeping the distance getting away from L
13612s	Shack and away from this median gun span
13613s	first BL goes over to paper numbers as
13615s	they take out the smallest and that's a
13616s	little bit of the control off the map
13618s	for the I it starts stacking up as well
13620s	mulus now doesn't have to do a damp W
13622s	with his counterpart on other Thea is
13624s	still jammed the reiva is still jammed
13625s	and fafy is well he's getting some bot
13627s	reps right now now he's getting reps on
13629s	Riva but Pap no damage coming down the
13631s	paper D really at the moment a bit a bit
13633s	of tickling on the Vex and Confessor but
13634s	it seems pretty stable right now for the
13637s	is webbed up though Park Bank in a
13639s	little bit of a weird position getting
13640s	rep bots on top of him Theos needs to
13642s	stay alive if they have any hope dealing
13645s	with this lak even with the Widow
13646s	getting the jams out the armag Navy
13648s	issue also currently tackled some more
13650s	damage going on this Absolution maybe
13652s	actually the Navy prophecy they've
13653s	decided to swap onto that one instead uh
13655s	it's cruise missiles on the Widow and
13657s	Rapid Heavies on the Navy armagedon so
13659s	not a whole lot of burst DPS like you
13661s	expect have a double rapid heavy setup
13663s	uh but if they can get the red down and
13666s	keep uh the rep Bots from Landing then
13669s	they might be able to punch through the
13670s	sasive maneuvering Squad I mean right
13672s	now the omen of Sam is webbing the
13675s	aneros and that's that's a huge if they
13677s	can get the aneros down trade an omen
13679s	for the aneros that's huge but I mean
13681s	right now he is being tded and pointed
13683s	as well so I think the um Theus might
13686s	just creep away a tiny bit but again
13688s	there's there's a bit of little bit
13689s	damage across the above the bo so so
13692s	interestingly we actually see the E
13693s	effect of both a web and a grapple on
13695s	top of this little Shack of Pandy if
13697s	this Navy Army gon goes down we now have
13699s	officer grapples so maybe that is
13701s	something that R and paper numbers have
13703s	fit to that Navy Armageddon but we don't
13705s	know quite yet these little shacks and
13707s	navy Armageddon haven't quite been dying
13709s	as much as I'd like to uh Confessor
13711s	staying alive and uh parkbank just
13713s	working his absolute butt off to keep
13716s	paper numbers Squad alive as they have
13718s	the very minimum lead right now 7 to
13721s	zero I mean same with Mr KS and Diva
13723s	he's got a tough job he has to make a a
13725s	single decision of what ship he wants to
13727s	try and keep alive and then probably
13729s	only have maybe 10 Cycles before he gets
13731s	jammed again I mean the the shack of
13733s	Pandy if he does get on top of something
13735s	which I think he is he is literally
13736s	right next to Theos is eating itos is
13739s	eating it right now absolutely mental
13741s	yet we've got the lak and the armagan
13743s	Navy she basically just together he's
13745s	just going to shoot what's next to him
13746s	but the anus is almost dying he's if he
13748s	goes down this is a huge win for evasive
13750s	maneuvers I mean it it swings the match
13753s	in favor of invasive maneuvering not
13754s	just cuz the in down that's reps but
13756s	also it's very close match in terms of
13758s	the actual point value and is 32 points
13760s	inos finally goes down a maneuvering
13763s	taking the lead but this Navy prophecy
13764s	Sky killer Russian 30 points might
13766s	actually go over to paper numbers now as
13768s	the reps are just not Landing this Riva
13771s	is still jammed now the Navy prophecy in
13773s	structure should it go down this will
13775s	give the lead back to paper numbers and
13777s	it does they still have their logy but
13779s	the jams I think they could win on the
13780s	jams if they can get nice lucky jams and
13783s	just break through maybe go for faf ra
13785s	or maybe just go TR I go for the low end
13786s	like The Omen I think they're going to
13787s	go for the omen now yeah and uh you know
13790s	some damage on this Vengeance as well
13792s	tackle on the vexor tackle on this
13793s	arbitrator actually uh of exos is
13795s	currently webbed up but as we see that
13798s	you know there's damage on the Open men
13799s	from paper numbers Rabbid heavy E clips
13801s	be damned uh they are going to try to
13803s	punch through evasive maneuvering as
13805s	best they can this Riva is damped out
13807s	this Riva is jammed up this Omen is
13808s	receiving no reps and paper numbers are
13811s	not taking any damage from evasive
13812s	maneuvering right now because of this
13814s	arbitrator it's actually the vexa is
13817s	scramming the lak on his own miles away
13820s	and and obviously he's getting tded yeah
13821s	so literally Pandy is just not in this
13824s	fight yeah but what I'm saying is the
13825s	arbitrators got the TDS on the app
13827s	solution and The Omen the MERS don't
13828s	really matter in terms of the DPS those
13830s	are what you really need to get uh the
13831s	TDS on if the L Shack's not hitting
13833s	anything it takes one wrecking shot to
13835s	kill a vexer uh but at the end of the
13837s	day uh even with the vexer going down he
13839s	bought a lot of time for his team uh
13841s	still paper numbers though haven't quite
13843s	killed anything yet other than this Navy
13845s	prophecy mollus and a still very close
13847s	match Five Points difference between the
13848s	two teams I still think evasive
13849s	maneuvering have a slight Advantage just
13852s	cuz their ad Divas alive but we can't
13854s	right off the Widow he is Webb right now
13856s	and looks like well the vengeance is
13857s	obviously in structure The Omen is
13859s	slowly dying fafy is in half armor if
13861s	fafy goes down that's a lot of their
13863s	damage are gone essentially I think they
13866s	should be trying to go for the
13867s	arbitrator like you said trying to get
13868s	off they're splitting damage between the
13869s	OB and the Absolution and in fact the
13871s	Reda we rep stops on the omen so once
13874s	again a jam from the Widow who is
13876s	staying alive but is in half armor and
13878s	does not have any LOD remaining if they
13880s	can get this Absolution Omen down that's
13883s	a lot of DPS off the T table but they
13885s	will lose this jam and the Redal will
13887s	start to actually matter in the later
13889s	stages of this match the Widow trading
13892s	for an Absolution I think go just goes
13893s	to show how how flimsy and Fa goes down
13896s	the captain the Widow though so flimsy
13898s	ship look at that completely down jams
13900s	off the grid for for paper numbers but I
13902s	think B still in the lead completely I
13904s	think 7 3 to 92 it's a very close match
13907s	2 minutes 46 seconds remaining uh damage
13909s	from paper numbers they need to pick
13911s	another primary and now they don't have
13912s	the jams so while the is currently being
13914s	pre-spooled by the Riva paper numbers
13916s	need to uh CT and kill something right
13919s	now and they choose to go for the M or
13921s	the paon effects I should say the Riva
13923s	is actually damped out and can't WRA up
13924s	the paon effects I think it's still over
13926s	though Pony goes down links off the some
13928s	links off the grid for for paper numbers
13930s	the arbitrator is about to go down and
13931s	once the arbitrator is down the Les is
13933s	now free as well he's now coming back
13935s	P's back into the action right now so
13936s	we're going to start seeing a lot of dam
13938s	damage ramp I reckon he's going to go
13939s	straight for again and just start
13940s	ramping up I mean you might as well you
13943s	you missed the flagship kill you missed
13946s	the flagship kill on fraternity earlier
13947s	today just barely you might get another
13949s	one on a paper numbers he needs to go
13951s	right now paper numbers have the isk
13953s	they can definitely fit an officer
13954s	grapple officer web on that Navy
13956s	Armageddon if it goes down I want to see
13959s	please the Le burning for Armageddon
13962s	right now he's he sees sees his PR in
13965s	his sights and thinks I've got one
13966s	minute and around 30 seconds or 40
13968s	seconds to spool up and try and get this
13970s	guy down so so paper numbers right uh I
13973s	think when they first landed on grid you
13975s	were saying that you really like this
13976s	paper numbers comp what kind of went
13978s	sideways for them up against theas and
13980s	maneuvering Squad I I'm surprised at the
13982s	lack of damage really because the Reda
13985s	was jammed multiple times and I feel
13987s	like they should have gone for this they
13989s	got the MERS down but I think they
13990s	should have gone for the smaller things
13991s	that that this match was very spread out
13993s	and I think that they could have
13994s	capitalized on not having the Reps
13996s	because the reeda was repping I reckon
13998s	for half this match I reckon like half
14000s	of it he was probably jammed and I
14001s	reckon they do have enough damage just
14002s	to get the lower end down and then you
14004s	can start like amplifying the widows
14007s	jams as we said like when ships die you
14008s	can start putting more evil across you
14011s	know you focusing you start focusing the
14012s	ew war on more ships and I think that
14014s	maybe they should have gone for the
14015s	smaller ships maybe got the py down
14017s	maybe get the omen down the vigil down
14018s	you know just break it down I I also
14020s	want to say uh parkbank has been a very
14022s	good logic pilot for a very good time a
14024s	Ved some manver in they got the tackle
14026s	on him that's very difficult to do uh so
14029s	well played to the aase maneuvering
14030s	tackle Wing I didn't quite catch you got
14032s	it um but obviously taking out that onos
14035s	really really part of why this match for
14038s	them this Navy Armageddon is not going
14039s	to go down we will not see a shiny
14041s	Flagship kill mail I want more Flagship
14044s	GL mailes please uh you shiny kill
14048s	mailes are the best kill males always uh
14050s	this Pon effect finally Falls it's going
14052s	to trade for the Vengeance 20 seconds
14054s	remaining of the match not going to kill
14055s	this Navy arm again there's nothing that
14057s	they can do about that but uh AAS
14059s	maneuvering uh moving on paper numbers
14062s	unfortunately after hitting top 12 get
14064s	knocked out of the upper bracket and get
14066s	immediately knocked out of lower bracket
14068s	of AAS maneuvering get to top eight uh
14070s	so to be what they wanted after winning
14073s	anger games right so uh even though they
14076s	started in the lower bracket pretty much
14078s	immediately uh they've made a very good
14080s	run of it we're going to take a quick
14081s	break when we return the desk will break
14083s	that down and then we will be right back
14085s	after
14103s	this paper numbers folding there to
14106s	evasive maneuvering uh in a nil biting
14109s	match right there that was an exciting
14110s	one it was it was back and forward back
14113s	and forward for a little bit I think the
14115s	evasive maneuvering uh which more
14117s	dominant it looked for a while though
14118s	that the Widow was going to be more
14120s	disruptive than it was I was a little
14122s	bit surprised not to see Evas maning
14124s	bringing the Widow themselves uh but
14125s	maybe you know they kind of almost
14127s	baited the other team into thinking they
14128s	were bringing the Widow and of course uh
14130s	the other team brought their Widow
14131s	thinking you know Widow versus Widow
14132s	that would just be I mean it would be
14134s	it' be gaming I'm not sure if it be
14135s	exciting but it would be gaming uh
14137s	moderator what could they have done
14138s	differently paper numbers there well
14140s	paper numbers there uh it felt like
14142s	their opportunity um we were talking a
14144s	little bit how Mr Krebs I believe in the
14146s	oiva was able to just kind of boat
14148s	around freely and uh was able to support
14151s	uh very well that uh merer and that Omen
14154s	that did an excellent job of diving into
14157s	the backline of the paper number side
14159s	getting on top of the onos breaking the
14161s	onos eventually and it turns out um that
14164s	we have found out what is scissors to
14167s	the paper numbers it was you know a Riva
14170s	living and lasack spooling yeah that uh
14173s	Riva was just left by him self untouched
14175s	for too long really and able to keep the
14177s	rest of his team alive I mean sh out
14179s	both teams there um incredible loggy
14181s	pilots on both sides uh like it's I've
14183s	said it before I'll say it again it's
14184s	one of the hardest things you can do in
14186s	the tournament is be the logistics pilot
14188s	um especially if it's just you know
14189s	you're one of them uh in a ship like a
14191s	aneros or Riva you have to be thinking
14193s	about your positioning positioning of
14194s	the enemies positioning of your Fleet
14196s	module management heat management uh
14198s	just tons of stuff it's really really
14200s	hard and um we see paper numbers quite
14202s	often uh Park Bank uh does a lot of like
14205s	putting the team Mone back and carrying
14206s	them around um and having a really
14208s	Dependable Logistics pilot really
14210s	elevates the whole team play uh so I
14212s	think you know paper numbers they're
14213s	they're going to be price shipping joers
14214s	uh for sure um and going out to a team
14217s	like evasive maneuvering is you know
14219s	something to be something to be proud of
14220s	at least like they're a very very solid
14221s	team Misty uh do you think they could
14224s	have done anything a little bit
14224s	different as well uh I was thinking
14226s	about it I think it it's kind of tricky
14230s	um because a lot of it just kind of
14232s	falls on whether the jams were Landing
14234s	or not they did seem to be getting some
14236s	good jams off on the Riva but they
14238s	didn't have much damage coming out of
14240s	their comp um so I probably would have
14242s	liked to have seen maybe um a bummer or
14244s	two just for some additional damage that
14246s	they could put out on the battle
14247s	Cruisers and the battleships in the
14248s	times when the reder is jammed or just
14252s	spending more time at the very beginning
14253s	going for the Reda so that they could
14256s	remove it quickly and then Focus their
14257s	gems on other things um to reduce the
14260s	amount of incoming DPS is probably the
14262s	the two ways that they could have really
14264s	tried to change what they were doing um
14266s	and I just wanted to mention a little
14268s	bit briefly on the decision behind the
14271s	Inus and the guardian I know that I've
14272s	said before when the arm is banned you
14273s	can just bring a guardian because it
14275s	puts out quite a bit of rep so it's
14276s	still viable to do a widow comp with um
14280s	other T2 logy I think the reason that
14282s	they brought in aneros in this case is
14283s	that it has more mids which means that
14285s	if you are going into air match up
14287s	against other widows um as we've seen
14289s	evasive maneuvering I think play once
14290s	with Del Shack then you'll have local
14293s	sense boosters that you can use to
14294s	increase the chance that you'll be able
14296s	to lock things so I think that's the
14298s	reason why they brought the inos even
14300s	though it reps less um it does have a
14302s	higher chance of being able to repit all
14305s	yep yeah and something critically about
14307s	kind of choosing these different races
14309s	right is that you have to consider that
14311s	the Widow is going to want to make the
14314s	band such that they're going to be able
14316s	to sack the racial Jammers in a way that
14318s	they want right so if you have uh you
14321s	know a bunch of essentially like um
14324s	galente armor ships that are completely
14326s	banned out and you have a really good
14329s	you know read that the other team is
14331s	going to bring an armor comp you can be
14333s	like hey I'm just going to stack a ton
14334s	of Amar racial Jammers and hey your
14336s	guardian yeah you could bring it uh or
14339s	any other ship that like the um the
14341s	lasack these triglavian ships also
14344s	having I believe the amarian sensor type
14346s	as well also have that kind of
14349s	vulnerability so you can kind of play
14351s	these mind games and that's something
14352s	that people don't always think about but
14354s	when you're getting to these top 12
14356s	matches paper numbers and uh you know
14358s	evasive maneuvering evasive maneuvering
14361s	again when they played as VRA and they
14363s	brought like double chameleons they very
14364s	intimately and clearly very still
14366s	intimately understand the win conditions
14368s	with these ECM cops so very well played
14371s	by them very very big brain team there
14373s	all right let's have a look at our next
14375s	match it's going to be deteriorated
14376s	versus Wei form Volta another
14377s	elimination match uh let's take a look
14379s	at the bans for this okay deteriorated
14383s	Banning out the arbitrator The Sentinel
14385s	the slep near and Vigilant and I see a
14387s	cheeky prophecy Navy sliding in there
14390s	and hiding but I do see it even though
14391s	it doesn't have a picture uh Volta
14393s	Banning out the crucifier the arbitrator
14395s	the curse the Loki and the Armageddon
14396s	Navy issue Mite your thoughts on these
14398s	bands here a lot of uh tracking
14400s	disruptions and gain disruption off the
14401s	field yeah I mean this is kind of the
14403s	story that we've been seeing time and
14404s	time again it does seem like the pilgrim
14406s	is still available so if they really
14409s	didn't want to seen sea tracking
14410s	disruptors and NES then they maybe would
14412s	have dedicated a ban towards the pilgrim
14414s	as well but it feels like the Loki and
14416s	the Armageddon Navy issue ban are must
14418s	haves for vter so they don't really have
14420s	the additional spot to spare for the
14421s	pilgrim they kind of just have to hope
14422s	that they don't bring it um or that if
14425s	they do bring it they'll be able to deal
14426s	with it a little bit more effectively
14428s	than they would a curse or arbitrator
14430s	yeah what do you think about this
14431s	Vigilant ban mod so a Vigilant ban is
14434s	something that we've actually seen uh be
14437s	almost more effective towards like a
14438s	truth honor light or a barcode uh type
14442s	um max threat um com combination or
14445s	control we've seen a few other teams
14447s	bring them so people you know they talk
14448s	about The Vindicator a lot in the 90%
14451s	webs but this year the Vigilant is not
14453s	that expensive and a lot of teams will
14455s	bring it um not just in that Max threat
14458s	comp but they'll bring it in um a kind
14460s	of a a control composition where you're
14462s	going to rely on a very brick tank one
14464s	even though you can't get that much tank
14466s	on them you'll get a 90% web on
14468s	something like a Lodi or some other uh
14470s	you know Cruiser or Destroyer that's
14472s	very hard to hit and then you'll make it
14473s	very easy for things like heavy assault
14475s	missiles or heavy other you know Damage
14478s	Big turrets to apply to it so teams are
14481s	clearly continuing to bring it in a
14483s	variety of cops for a reason mhm so
14486s	again as mentioned before we are in
14487s	elimination matches again so uh each of
14489s	these teams is going home the bracket uh
14491s	over on the chalange as our official
14493s	bracket is starting to look pretty spicy
14495s	with some of the uh the the matches we
14497s	have our top four in the Winn's bracket
14499s	uh later we're going to see Platinum
14500s	sensitivity versus truth on the light
14502s	and tusker's Co versus barcode but
14504s	before that we still have these uh the
14505s	skin run enjoyers on the lower bracket
14507s	who are fighting through to try and make
14509s	their way back up into the the Grand
14511s	Final if they win the lower bracket
14512s	final they get in and they go up against
14513s	the winning uh winners bracket final to
14516s	see who gets to go home with the most
14518s	amount of prizes and of course eternal
14520s	glory and having your alliance
14522s	emblazened on the monument in minarc so
14524s	will Volta go out or will deteriorate it
14526s	let's go over to the arena and find
14530s	out L and gentlemen welcome back to the
14532s	arena it's Star leue Commander joined
14534s	with a very special guest CCV Swift how
14537s	are you doing my buddy I am doing
14539s	amazing oh my god it feels so good to be
14542s	commentating a liance tournament match
14543s	and it is a banger of a match we form
14546s	Volta I think you're going to be a
14547s	little bit nervous on this one versus
14549s	deteriorated uh we formed Volta in blue
14552s	taking a setup that we've seen before
14554s	the aarde Absolution Navy Harbinger Navy
14557s	bruix triple mer for tackle double
14560s	deacons for reps and of course that Omen
14562s	I should let you introduce the boys what
14564s	my thinking tell me about detated BR two
14567s	Fleet typhoons prais Magus Ponty h two
14570s	Aion and a Deon purify MERS I mean this
14572s	comes down to the for vter the first 10
14575s	seconds is what matters I think oh my
14578s	God and look at this warpin they are so
14580s	close right so this is something we
14581s	don't get to talk about too much uh when
14583s	you warp in you get to or when you kind
14585s	of get teleported into the system you
14587s	get to choose one of four different uh
14590s	warping spots uh and these guys they
14593s	both warped in at range but look at that
14595s	angle that angle is so close they are
14597s	going to be a lot closer than they
14598s	wanted to be uh definely both are
14601s	definitely in range they're definitely
14602s	in range to touch the support wing of uh
14605s	deteriorates and and they're either
14607s	going to go for the hyena or the morus
14609s	or something at the start probably the
14611s	hyena I think yeah that red team is
14612s	going to have to deteriorate they're
14614s	going to have to kite back with that
14615s	support Wing they're going to have to
14616s	try and really quickly make some moves
14619s	there uh and the match is on let's see
14621s	what happens uh as we uh get to the
14624s	mollus as you mentioned is one of the
14626s	first targets here let's see if they can
14628s	punch through it I think the uh well the
14630s	mullus down TP at the moment a web going
14632s	down the estar the morus is is taking
14635s	damage but he is burning away he's not
14637s	even bleeding structure super low armor
14638s	he is currently trans trans matching
14641s	moving away actually but he might die
14642s	but they must switch now if they don't
14644s	get him down I think they need to move
14645s	on yeah uh th in the a start taking a
14648s	ton of damage he is dropping so fast to
14651s	these Fleet typhoons can he survive uh
14653s	can these MERS come in and maybe like
14655s	screen off these Fleet typhoons a little
14657s	bit uh not enough theth goes down the
14659s	aard first blood for deteriorated this
14662s	team uh must be feeling pretty good
14664s	about it right now yeah definitely the
14665s	Hena just went straight in I think and
14668s	and trying to get the webs down on the
14669s	battle Cruisers again a web now on the
14671s	Navy Harbinger which the grapple sorry
14673s	supremely M they tackled by the probably
14675s	the fleet typhoon but the high nothing
14676s	down for the for the det TI side I mean
14679s	volter need to get some of the tackled
14681s	off yeah this is where you know
14682s	composure comes into play right you
14684s	things aren't going the way you planned
14686s	it Navy Harbinger about to go down as
14689s	well uh oh no that's a lot of DPS is
14692s	going to be off the field but maybe they
14693s	can just survive a little bit longer and
14695s	then start getting something off we see
14697s	this Pon effect gets tackled for a
14698s	little bit get those links off the field
14700s	maybe uh I don't know uh put some
14703s	pressure on this Deacon this Deacon is
14705s	going down as well uh oh the harbinger
14707s	Dr goes down Deacon about to go down I
14711s	think all right does go down okay good
14713s	you're feeling better here except for if
14714s	you're uh fter uh one of your deacons is
14717s	nuded the other one's damped oh not
14720s	feeling good but the Thalia also gets
14721s	web the Thalia is tackled deteriorated
14723s	might lose another Lodi ship here I
14725s	think this is this is the only way for
14727s	vter to win this game get the logi figs
14729s	down then clear the hyena and just clear
14731s	with the tackle and just try and Outlast
14733s	the game with the Deacon still alive
14734s	that's the key thing as well volter
14735s	still have their logi frigs so to remove
14737s	the support Wing get rid of the hyena
14739s	get rid of the molus and then they can
14741s	kind of cut it around can't they yep
14742s	exactly and this hyena gets scram now
14744s	too uh they're doing it Trent man of the
14747s	match up to this point though did so
14749s	much work in this hyena this Lynch pin
14751s	ship for the deteriorated setup mollus
14754s	goes down now amazing uh hyena oh hyena
14757s	broke Trent is no longer tackled so he's
14759s	a little bit free here uh volter really
14761s	need to kill this hyena get him cleared
14763s	off and then start kiting to the sides
14765s	of the Arena to survive I mean right now
14767s	it's just the abso of Annie and stiggy
14769s	as a sort of projected DPS on the volter
14772s	side the mag about to go down so links
14774s	links going down for for um deteriorated
14776s	I mean web now the on the Deacon web on
14779s	the Moher they need to start getting the
14781s	H they got a TP on now perfect try and
14783s	get him down get the Ponty down and I
14784s	think volter can take this back sticky
14787s	now going into low armor take probably
14789s	the reload from the T Fleet typhoons has
14791s	just come through haa going down now
14793s	Ponte being webbed I think the stiggy
14795s	might die here he might try and Kut it
14797s	away but he if he can survive the reload
14800s	he this could this be huge yeah Planet
14802s	Six and the Deacon shook off off some
14804s	tackle that was on him now uh hyena Gone
14807s	ponix Gone Fleet typhoons and a purifier
14810s	are all that's left I think sticky is
14812s	going to survive it's going to be really
14813s	really close entering structure but you
14816s	know these Navy BRS has a bunch of
14817s	structure he's too far away the de the
14819s	deacons are trying to catch up to him
14821s	right now but he's just too far away for
14822s	the optimal reps I think he will go down
14824s	here as the damage switches to the
14826s	practice I mean VTA still in this I
14828s	think it's quite close but the obviously
14830s	the sticky is going to go down here I
14832s	think unless the clip Runs Out
14835s	of armor Alive come on stiggy sorry like
14839s	you can survive come on guys um prac is
14842s	taking a bit of damage right now look at
14844s	Planet 6 Planet 6 coming up uh just to
14846s	get stiggy a little bit more reps
14848s	overheating to get in range uh Sticky's
14851s	back he's alive he survived the
14852s	onslaught and now it looks really good
14855s	for this Volta side if they can get uh
14857s	some of his damage or some of the damage
14859s	off the field the purifier could be
14861s	quite an easy kill but obviously stiggy
14862s	is so far away right now so he's not
14864s	applying at all maybe some spike uh
14866s	action going on but it's going to be
14867s	little tickling and stuff Pui web right
14869s	now I think they're just opting to just
14870s	get some of the damage off the board
14872s	Annie now taking a lot of damage in the
14875s	Absolution cuz he's on his own and the
14877s	deacons are too far away I think this
14879s	might be not good for the captain of
14881s	vter as he does go down the damage is
14883s	coming off points in favor of
14885s	deteriorated purify about to go down but
14887s	I think this might oh I don't know about
14890s	this the this wter still have enough on
14892s	grid but it's going to be really close
14895s	yeah as you mentioned you know we talked
14897s	about how Planet 6 and and Outlaw
14899s	managed to surve keep stiggy alive but
14902s	it left Annie all alone outside of the
14906s	rep range uh and they just unloaded on
14908s	him so now there's just three MERS for
14909s	damage and Omen and this Navy bruix here
14913s	uh to see if they can just they've got
14914s	to take down a battle ship they're going
14916s	for the practice uh how do you feel
14918s	about it I think the zeb's about to go
14920s	down as he does go down I think the
14922s	deacons are trying to get back into
14923s	range to try and get some uh some reps
14926s	in but it might be a bit too little too
14928s	late the practice is in half armor and
14930s	they are going for him but I think even
14932s	with the kill if nothing else dies no
14937s	even with the kill it's not enough
14938s	they're going to have to kill the
14939s	practice and AET typhoon yeah and that's
14941s	going to be hard with only four and a
14942s	half minut left to go in one bruix and
14944s	one Omen uh another mer about to go down
14947s	for pretorius uh oh no uh these MERS
14951s	aren't as Tangy as I thought they would
14953s	be dying aren't they pus going to low
14955s	armor right now he's got reps from the
14957s	deacon now but he's going to hold on the
14958s	practice is going to go down I think
14960s	ptus is going to go down sticky now is
14963s	the only real damage on the Vol side and
14965s	the omen obviously but it's going to be
14966s	not enough to break a fleet typhoon I
14968s	don't think yeah it looks like uh ptus
14970s	might survive a little bit let's see if
14972s	he can get completely repped up before
14973s	these typhoons start firing again you
14976s	can see the attack bar and deteriorated
14978s	they're not applying anything as these T
14979s	Fleet Ty uh are oh my gosh uh the prti
14984s	just oh hold a gun he's going to go down
14987s	I think but I think this will still be
14989s	the end for for Leon vter I don't think
14992s	they got 108 they need to get a fleet
14994s	typhoon down and it's just one wer and a
14996s	rtic nen left these deons are both
14999s	getting nuted by these Fleet typhoons
15001s	incredible piloting on this deteriorated
15003s	side uh mer also tackled uh at this
15007s	point they just have to go all in yeah
15008s	and try and kill one there's no way
15010s	around it yep exactly and if you're the
15012s	omen you're kind of hoping everyone else
15013s	goes in first so you can do it but this
15016s	mer is eating it as well these deacons
15018s	can't keep up with the Reps these Fleet
15020s	typhoons are just unloading into this
15023s	mer and it will go down as well oh Z
15027s	holding on the tiny bit but I think he's
15028s	going to bleed into structure right now
15030s	and looks like they're going to go for Q
15031s	kapper in the fleet typhoon they've only
15033s	got they got three minutes to kill it Z
15035s	in structure and does go down it's only
15038s	stiggy left this the the little what the
15041s	bruck Navy held on is only maybe he can
15044s	be the little bruts that could it's
15046s	going to be really difficult for him
15047s	very difficult for him no structure
15050s	buffer left he only has his armor uh and
15053s	we've seen these ships chew through his
15055s	armor and his structure uh my gosh these
15058s	deacons need to be able to put out all
15060s	of the rep power that they can as
15062s	they're testing stiggy one more time uh
15065s	it looks like he's dropping pretty low
15066s	on this one but uh maybe maybe surviving
15069s	a little bit Deacon also taking some
15071s	damage Deacon getting n to too I think
15073s	the deacons are too far away from Stig
15074s	at the moment it does honestly it's up
15076s	to Stig obviously they can split damage
15078s	quite easily and everyone's a bit spread
15080s	out right now the omen is up above and
15082s	the sticky is below and the deacons are
15084s	kind of actually split up at the moment
15086s	really to be honest I mean I think the
15089s	fleet typhoon I think well I'm being
15092s	given an L uh a mystical M has entered
15095s	the comment the game is not over yet
15098s	yeah we've got two minutes left Misty
15100s	the two minutes left for stiggy to to to
15102s	win this match for us I think maybe he
15105s	can refit into Super torps or something
15107s	I don't know I think Super torp bump him
15109s	out the arena or something go get him to
15111s	jump out somehow just be very
15114s	intimidating super intimidating go into
15116s	him there's not much damage that be
15118s	honest there's not much damage landing
15120s	on the fleet typhoon I don't think he's
15121s	going to go down my good the target
15123s	calling on this deteriorated Squad
15125s	absolute perfection they knew exactly
15127s	what they had it to do at every stage of
15129s	the game and that is hard against a
15131s	squad like Volta who know what they're
15133s	doing they've been to the Championships
15135s	before they have you know composure
15138s	throughout this entire process uh so
15140s	really incredible shout out to
15142s	deteriorated uh and really Trent in that
15145s	hyena just doing so much work trading so
15149s	much for his team uh to put them in this
15153s	position you've got a minute left you've
15155s	got a fleet typhoon with
15158s	75% uh that's what Isen is down at this
15162s	point they're going to have to let's see
15165s	even if they kill one Fleet typhoon it
15166s	won't be enough I'm so sorry you you
15170s	gave the Caster's curse right come to
15173s	Iceland the boys lose oh there good
15176s	fights in local I mean we from VTA doing
15179s	really well I'm I'm I'm proud of the
15180s	boys for getting this far as well and it
15182s	was it was tough I mean deteriorated as
15184s	you said flying superbly solid comps
15187s	throughout the whole tournament I mean
15189s	they've still got a long way to go in
15190s	the losers but I think they could go the
15192s	way AB absolutely and with a match like
15194s	this they're going to be feeling really
15196s	good as well uh they took down some
15198s	former Champions uh twitch chat probably
15201s	losing a lot of points on this one uh
15204s	deteriorated incredibly well flown uh by
15208s	both teams but you know deterior gets
15210s	the win here I'm sorry Starfleet I'm
15212s	being heckled to put this on by by an
15215s	elusive man behind the
15217s	camera this one the match is now over uh
15221s	deteriorated in red take it one 48 to
15224s	volta's 108 Starfleet and I will send it
15227s	back to the desk for them to break
15229s	everything down and see if the we we
15231s	missed anything we couldn't have missed
15232s	anything
15248s	yeah not playing deteriorated advancing
15251s	into the top eight here at Alliance
15253s	tournament
15254s	20 um they knock out VTA who will go
15258s	home top 12 um and I am joined on the
15261s	desk by CCP Yen as well as of course
15263s	moderator um moderator going to come to
15266s	you first on this one um that was an
15268s	interesting match up we had kind of like
15270s	a almost a king Slayer type uh comp
15272s	going up against this sort of Max threat
15274s	medium guns type thing but as soon as I
15277s	saw them land on field I said I was like
15279s	why three MERS like points inflation
15281s	each one's going to cost two extra
15283s	points and normal you know why not just
15284s	bring like a vexer maybe U like swe one
15287s	of the deacons into Italia and then
15288s	suddenly you can bring a vigil and put
15289s	paints on things like what's going on
15291s	there you know you're right that would
15293s	have been a great idea but unfortunately
15295s	they didn't so like you were talking
15297s	about normally a merer would cost only
15299s	10 points but uh you know two would cost
15301s	11 and now 12 so you've basically spent
15304s	like six more points total right on
15306s	inflation than you would have and you
15308s	really could get a lot of utility like
15310s	you said again like a vigil uh would
15312s	have been uh very important for uh these
15315s	medium gun boats to really apply damage
15318s	onto a uh one of these sorry excuse me
15322s	one of these frigs on the logi side
15323s	which is what they struggled with really
15325s	getting through um the te 2 frig logy on
15328s	the side of um deteriorated right and
15332s	you're kind of wondering like bring a
15333s	bellicose bring a vigil bring like an
15336s	omen Navy issue you know change it up it
15338s	felt like Volta maybe they hadn't like
15339s	really practiced a ton of other like
15342s	swaps out for like they confident than
15344s	they tried to force what they had and it
15346s	it was just very strange yeah I mean t
15349s	be Yen I I think um even though it
15351s	looked like volter were in the back of
15352s	food from the start in that particular
15354s	matchup U it felt like they flew pretty
15356s	well it looked like at some point they
15358s	almost kind of had it back but they were
15359s	just like a little bit behind the curve
15361s	the whole time uh if that abso for
15362s	example had stayed alive a little bit
15364s	longer they might able to kill the
15365s	practice a little bit quicker and maybe
15366s	finish off one of those Fleet typhoons
15368s	and win on points um wow yeah I mean
15372s	stiggy makaka in the Buck's Navy really
15374s	did a ton of work in the middle of that
15376s	match to try and uh both keep the match
15379s	going keep keep things you know keep
15381s	them occupied uh by pulling down and
15383s	away from the rest of of of the ships
15385s	especially those Fleet typhoons I mean
15386s	you you got to think moving further away
15388s	from them and forcing them to kind of
15389s	have to pull after him with those rapid
15391s	Heavies you know missiles in Flight does
15393s	mean that you know every time that he
15395s	you know just keeps going a little bit
15397s	further and further away that's longer
15399s	those missiles have to be in Flight
15400s	that's further into the clip they have
15401s	to get uh and and he did a lot of work I
15403s	mean at the end of the day it didn't
15405s	really make that big of a difference uh
15407s	you know that one ship was not quite
15408s	going to do it and as we saw the MERS
15411s	were necessary at the very end to try
15414s	and Chip through one of those Fleet
15415s	typhoons uh and did not quite have the
15418s	longevity to get that done yeah
15420s	especially when that start went down so
15421s	quick I was like if they can clip this
15423s	abso in the second thing it's just going
15424s	to be completely J but they didn't clip
15426s	it so I thought oh maybe there's a
15428s	chance that um the vola boys can come
15429s	back here I will sh out Planet 6 and no
15432s	proo in the fots there doing an
15434s	excellent job sticky as you pointed out
15435s	pulled away and then you saw the little
15437s	two LOD FS like following down keeping
15440s	them alive uh you really extending the
15442s	chances for their team and as stly said
15443s	you know holding out hope and it's tough
15445s	too and I'm I'm sorry I the when you're
15448s	in that position as a as a lodgy pilot
15450s	you really do have to make a choice
15451s	right you have to make the choice about
15453s	following off the ship that it needs
15454s	your help right now but also separating
15457s	yourself from somebody who might need
15458s	your help in the future and we saw that
15459s	with the Absolution the Absolution as
15461s	soon as those the deacons were pulled
15462s	off immediately attention switches up to
15464s	the abso the abiso gets clipped and it's
15466s	over yep all right so let's look at our
15468s	next match it's going to be the last one
15469s	that determines our top eight in
15471s	Alliance tournament 20 so we're getting
15473s	to the pointy end of the stick at this
15475s	this stage of the tournament so it's
15476s	going to be Odin's call versus unspoken
15478s	Alliance let's take a look at the band
15479s	for this all right Odin's call Banning
15482s	out the EOS the zarad the alligator and
15485s	the orthus meanwhile unspoken Banning
15488s	out the celestus the fck Navy the prct
15490s	Navy and the Deacon moderator your
15492s	thoughts on these bands here so I see
15494s	the EOS ban is really targeting a lot of
15496s	these armor um control STS we've
15498s	continued to see again all the way up
15500s	through the point from 32 now to8 the
15503s	zarm uh I mean we've seen this be kind
15505s	of a Lynch pin of a lot of these um jam
15509s	setups with the Widow unspoken um has
15513s	been a team that has thrown some kind of
15517s	uh unique and kind of different at the
15519s	wall things Odin's seems to be
15521s	continuing like thematically with the
15522s	Bands they've gone after with the
15524s	alligator really uh hitting at some of
15526s	these armor sorry excuse me Shield Rush
15529s	comps Odin call actually being the team
15531s	that really was like the progenitor
15533s	along uh with tempas who has been
15536s	eliminated earlier of being kind of this
15537s	ham Rush team and orthus really hitting
15540s	again at some of these rush and kind of
15542s	kite Shield chips as well unspoken
15545s	wanting to go after the celestus we've
15547s	seen how many times right that's
15549s	celestus this year has really replaced
15551s	the Blackbird for what it was last year
15552s	this year here the Blackbird costs a few
15555s	more points and it's kind of fallen out
15557s	of favor the celestus now has kind of
15560s	come in as the replacement it doesn't
15563s	Jam things out but what it really does
15565s	is it Force things to get in Close to
15566s	You jams them it does yes and when
15569s	you're forced to come in especially when
15571s	so many teams are going up against like
15574s	Armageddon Navy flag um ships where they
15576s	can get nuded out you're forced to come
15578s	in and then you get nuded we've seen
15579s	this happen to logy frigs Lodi Cruisers
15581s	plenty so
15584s	again along with um some of I believe we
15586s	saw a deacon band in there as well makes
15589s	sense to me yeah I like the um the
15592s	celestus BAM because uh it can be quite
15594s	powerful damps in in the right hands
15595s	it's one of those ones like ECM like you
15598s	can be like an advanced game and play
15600s	ECM the Smart Way by like turning off
15601s	auto repeat and things like that and
15603s	coordinating if you have multiple ECM
15605s	boats but I feel like the the skill
15607s	ceiling for when to use damps and when
15610s	not to could be caught out by damps can
15611s	be a little bit higher so it's not just
15613s	like turn it on and hope like you look
15615s	to see who's out of position and like an
15617s	logi ship might be very far ranged from
15620s	uh the the thing he's trying to rep but
15621s	he might be at the point where if you
15624s	damp him you suddenly break that and
15625s	then you have that moment to kill him so
15626s	you have to look out for these different
15627s	positioning errors see if you can catch
15629s	someone see if you can drop that damp on
15630s	them at the right time and if you can
15631s	move it between different chips you can
15633s	start to force people to move in and out
15635s	yeah especially against uh triglavian
15636s	heavy setups we've seen so many uh you
15639s	know Rivas and Zars uh on grid uh those
15643s	loggies uh require uh you know that that
15646s	spool time to be able to keep up with a
15648s	lot of the um you know the the the
15650s	especially the the higher end DPS that
15652s	you see in a lot of other comps so you
15653s	need that spool to be consistent and if
15655s	you have range between your lodgy and
15658s	the target then if you're able to damp
15660s	that down to less than what that range
15663s	is and break you know break the spool
15665s	you've done now you you've set them back
15667s	a whole you know 20 30 seconds uh from
15669s	where they need to be exactly all right
15672s	so I think that we can head over to the
15674s	arena for this match here in Alliance
15676s	tournament
15678s	20 welcome back to the arena Star
15681s	Commander here with CCP fif still uh for
15683s	the last match I think I think you're
15685s	going off this one which is very sad
15686s	we've got Odin cool versus unspoken and
15689s	we have what what do unspoken have uh so
15692s	unspoken brought the Nighthawk Claymore
15694s	Scimitar double heila be frost two
15698s	crucifiers purifier and Hound uh this is
15700s	a pretty spooky uh comp from spoken
15703s	Alliance and owners called the fleet
15704s	typhoon na again cental magas Ponty H
15707s	more two inquisitors and they've walked
15710s	in at 50 the uh the fet typhoons and but
15713s	the the nigh Hawk and the clan wars have
15716s	sort of come in a bit closer and the
15718s	gillos are a tiny bit behind so I think
15720s	well they're going to have to go in and
15722s	get some damage
15723s	and I think the fleet typhoons with uh
15726s	their clip I think they can start
15728s	breaking through things it's going to be
15729s	tricky the Oden call need to do
15731s	something about these crucifiers I think
15733s	uh if they've got missile guidance
15734s	disruptors that they can spread across
15736s	uh these cores uh if not maybe maybe
15739s	unspoken gambled and lost a little bit
15740s	and just took the crucifiers for medium
15742s	guns gun spam but uh we'll have to see
15745s	that be bad if they did that but they
15746s	did ban FKS nav sheb Navi so maybe
15749s	they're just pushing maybe they are GDs
15751s	if they've got the bans it they may be
15753s	pushing towards it but then obviously y
15755s	team actually banned alligator and offer
15757s	so both teams sort of banning the other
15759s	teams compy to a certain degree yeah it
15761s	might be see what goes so we see some
15763s	dams spread across uh from the Odin call
15765s	side uh and guidance disruptors are
15767s	landing on that fre typhoon and that
15769s	Navy armor again so unspoken Alliance
15771s	they know what they're doing this whole
15772s	time it's all planned two two GDs went
15775s	on the purify and Hound which I think
15777s	are are probably maybe a good idea but
15779s	they they switched them to NW and
15780s	Claymore those P the purifying Hound on
15782s	unspoken G me doing a lot of work uh
15785s	like a th DPS between the two of them
15787s	and will apply perfectly to a battleship
15788s	the gers web right now I think Odin
15790s	school just need to get a clip because
15791s	they are rapid heavies so they need to
15793s	just lock sign down and as soon as they
15795s	have it locked down like confirmed to
15796s	not going anywhere then just unload the
15799s	damage onto him yeah so these healers
15801s	are are running up and also doing some
15803s	uh some screening work as well so
15804s	they're going to be doing quite a lot of
15805s	damage see damage already going on to
15808s	this mollus uh and this healer is is up
15811s	right up right up in everyone's business
15813s	right here he's right in the center
15814s	right there and he does go down first
15815s	Blood oh God I mean first Blood to
15818s	Odin's court and a DPS off the grid
15820s	obviously the apply DPS does favor Odin
15823s	a tiny
15824s	bitar by unspoken is also webbed oh no
15828s	webbed and nuded oh they can't kill the
15830s	fleet Typhoon fast enough on the Odin
15832s	call side Odin call uh they need to get
15834s	some damage on this citar and get him
15836s	down pretty quick I mean they don't need
15837s	to but they'd love to that's a great
15839s	next Target the fleet typhoon now taking
15841s	a lot of damage on the Odin School side
15843s	the paradig is going to go into low
15845s	armor right now I think he might break
15847s	and just as to show even with the giler
15848s	down they still got the damage to push
15850s	through the Reps if they do get him down
15852s	oh but so the simitar is he's as
15854s	beinging a little bit he's you can see
15855s	his HP go up and down a little bit he
15857s	only gets nine of those right so if
15858s	you're counting you can tell when this
15861s	simitar is going to go down he is not
15862s	going anywhere uh stopped moving
15864s	probably turned off that mwd for some
15866s	extra uh cap in general just to get any
15869s	reps off but this Fleet typhoon is who's
15871s	going to drop first I think the fleet
15873s	typhoon might go down or actually no the
15875s	simar will go down he's going to start
15876s	bleeding in the second I think and he's
15878s	probably got maybe two or three charges
15879s	left and he it's quite common for Sim to
15881s	go into armor and then boots back a bit
15883s	of Shield but the fleet typhoon getting
15884s	a bit of armor back the skim into into
15886s	structure and the simy does drop first
15889s	but I think the flight Fleet typhoon
15890s	might still go down anyway yeah look so
15892s	these purifiers and Hounds or this
15893s	purifier and Hound on the unspoken side
15895s	they got damped and guidance disrupted
15897s	you can see them rushing in a little bit
15898s	just to get that last bit of damage in
15900s	there they got a little bit too close
15902s	though purifier is tackled they just
15903s	want to finish off this Fleet typhoon uh
15906s	they need to do something here but
15907s	Odin's call cooler than the other side
15910s	of the pillow they've got a be frost
15912s	tackle a pacifier tackled or rather a
15914s	puure fire tackled um and uh they're
15917s	about to just take off the links from
15919s	the unspoken side I think Odin is now
15921s	going to stabilize bifr about to go down
15923s	for unspoken a fantastic job with Odin
15926s	just me the Simi I think he was out
15927s	position I think he just got tackled and
15929s	the purifier he's not going to go down
15931s	but the B for go down first I think the
15933s	Simi just got tackled he was a bit too
15936s	close and you can just see look how
15938s	close it was though that Fleet typhoon
15941s	almost cracked and died and it could be
15943s	a completely different story we have no
15944s	idea but you know Odin's call they knew
15947s	what to do again we're talking about
15948s	typhoon still goes down though oh [ __ ]
15951s	okay Odin call they they're still in a
15954s	really good spot they've got a Navy
15956s	genon they've got a fleet typhoon
15957s	they've got the Sentinel uh they've got
15959s	a hyena to keep things off uh you can
15961s	see them kind of screening things the
15963s	mall is for uh control so damping these
15966s	crucifiers they're not even applying any
15968s	of their stuff and killing the heila off
15970s	yeah these things do a lot of damage uh
15972s	comparatively wh less tanky uh just
15974s	great Target calling not over
15976s	celebrating not getting too excited here
15978s	they're just kind of trying to finish
15980s	the match uh and you know just not make
15982s	any mistakes going through it I think I
15984s	mean this this this tour there's so many
15986s	good teams in this tournament you can
15987s	see here like it's even when teams are
15989s	on the they're losing they still are
15991s	fighting to get things down I mean it is
15993s	a sure win right now for UND score but
15995s	do you think I mean unspoken if if the
15997s	Simi survived it might have changed I
15999s	think it could have changed yeah that
16001s	was a scary amount of damage was coming
16003s	out that I don't think was Odin call
16005s	wasn't really uh expecting too much um
16009s	but yeah two tyon with the full clip and
16011s	the Navy arm again that's a lot of
16013s	damage the Sentinel secretly doing its
16015s	work in the background I'm I'm assuming
16017s	the nigh HW and claim of Reed didn't
16019s	that probably range was terrible and
16020s	they probably couldn't really hit much
16021s	yeah they probably were were hitting
16022s	life quite a bit there uh maybe that's
16024s	kind of what forced the Simard to come
16026s	in a little bit close maybe they say hey
16027s	the battle B switch the damps from the M
16030s	onto Simi that's a quite a common Tac in
16032s	tourament is let don't damp the Sim at
16034s	the start and then wait for the fight to
16036s	happen he sits far away uh thinking he's
16038s	okay then switch the damps over to the
16040s	Simi and then all of a sudden he can
16042s	lock like 40 km exactly yeah and then
16044s	when you do a snap call like that those
16045s	dams go on the crucifiers who now find
16048s	themselves unable to apply and then
16049s	suddenly all the damage starts coming at
16052s	you and and maybe that's potentially
16054s	what happened the M pilot wasn't really
16055s	pressured muchness in this match and the
16057s	higher as well so a lot of the utility
16059s	on the Odin's support Wing wasn't really
16062s	both this match and you can see the
16063s	control bar is almost maxed out right
16065s	now for Odin's cool so the poor Claymore
16068s	is being uh webbed and GD and Ned and L
16072s	and everything all the above and the
16074s	crucifiers probably can't even lock let
16077s	alone one's not even moving just like eh
16080s	over going to stop walk up control space
16083s	he's left he's already gone he's off I
16086s	mean these days still everyone still
16087s	gets at shits even at this stage um and
16090s	and some couple of skins as well cuz
16091s	they've all at least everyone's here at
16093s	least one a match a couple one or two
16095s	matches to get to this stage so no one
16097s	goes home with nothing yeah I mean these
16098s	guys will be well compensated right and
16100s	we're talking about like I like to brag
16103s	cuz you know between the two of us we've
16104s	got so many gold medals like this room
16106s	can barely hang on but if you take a
16108s	team like unspoken and you throw them
16111s	back in time to Alliance horn six or
16112s	seven they wipe the floor with everyone
16115s	oh yeah like that's how competitive
16117s	these teams are the standard has has
16120s	gotten up like everyone is really
16121s	competitive now as you can see this
16122s	match like all the matches have been
16124s	really it's been really close and and
16126s	one's got a bit of an advantage it's
16127s	been even you know THL playing earlier
16130s	today like almost losing to Mao rush and
16132s	the Vol match before as well was super
16134s	close like all the teams are definitely
16136s	up their game at this point uh the just
16138s	the crucify left as the unpredictable uh
16141s	fist n is the last crucify he's burning
16143s	around he's not going to make them you
16145s	know he's not going to give him an easy
16147s	one he's really far away up in the
16149s	distance right now uh 98 98 from the
16153s	center might be going for the edge I
16154s	think he is it looks like he was around
16156s	in mjd Beacon there
16159s	233 km out uh I don't think that's a
16162s	record but it's pretty close it's pretty
16164s	close and with this we're going to go to
16165s	a break and then we're going to send it
16166s	back to the
16169s	desk Odin's call there with a pretty
16172s	solid win over unspoken Alliance
16174s	knocking them out of the tournament I am
16176s	joined here on the desk by as far as I
16177s	can see just CCP Yen uh so thank you for
16180s	joining oh hello there I know I'm short
16183s	but makes a a Better Door than a window
16187s	you're fully excluded here I'll step
16189s	back a little bit I just have my cloak
16190s	on man I just just a CO cloak I'm hidden
16192s	I'm good okay so let's discuss that
16195s	particular comp so um we had one team
16197s	bringing basically King Slayer with like
16198s	the rapid heavy uh clips and then the
16201s	other side bringing a kind of pseudo
16203s	Florida man which Wing insist is
16205s	Australia man yeah it's the other
16207s	Florida man the other
16209s	Florida second Florida exactly oh GS
16212s	instead of alligators yeah yeah um now I
16215s	find it kind of interesting that they
16216s	brought two crucifiers which obviously
16218s	they're going to have guidance
16218s	disruption and they going to slap them
16220s	on and they're going to do some some you
16221s	know range Shenanigans with them and
16224s	then they also Barrel straight in um
16225s	which feels like you're just kind of
16226s	negating the the benefit there obviously
16228s	you can do other things like you know
16229s	reduce missile explosion velocity blah
16231s	blah blah blah I feel like 18 points if
16233s	you're going to rush in would be better
16234s	Ser served elsewhere what do you think
16236s	we that yeah double Mor would have a
16237s	better idea for that just to make sure
16238s	they have to come to you double
16240s	crucifier as you says like you spent all
16242s	this time and money I think they saw the
16244s	bans for the previous days like oh
16245s	everyone's Banning track and shoters
16246s	they must be good and then they're like
16248s	we they baned it even bring brought it
16250s	without even considering what it's
16251s	useful for it's like oh we're just going
16252s	to go in and just suicide because their
16254s	comp doesn't really care they got gers
16256s	they can do whatever they want to do be
16258s	closer range and TB do you think um
16260s	unspoken could have done anything
16261s	different in that particular instance
16262s	there they felt they just kind of got
16263s	outd drafted I think and then outplayed
16266s	afterwards yeah I mean running into King
16268s	Slayer is always going to be kind of
16269s	hard uh if if you don't have a sim a
16271s	comp similar built to to to tackle
16273s	Battleship specifically um and they yeah
16275s	they just I mean they went early on they
16278s	were able to snag a battleship feel
16280s	pretty good after that but they just
16282s	from that point on it didn't really feel
16284s	like they had a lot of Direction I think
16285s	you're really stressing the word early
16286s	on that took a quite some time to the
16288s	first to be to be perfectly Fair yeah
16291s	you're absolutely right by the time they
16293s	had that that the the battleship down
16295s	they had wasted so much time they were
16297s	already down a couple of ships
16298s	themselves and they're just in a tight
16300s	spot and there's not really any coming
16302s	back from you're absolutely right you
16303s	know you you're you're you're bringing a
16305s	comp that almost looks like it wants to
16307s	play a spacing game and they're not
16309s	doing any spacing at all it's just it's
16311s	it is a rush in and do as much damage as
16314s	we can and try and swamp a couple things
16316s	and it it just didn't didn't quite work
16318s	out for him that time it did not it did
16320s	not um okay so we have about 10 minutes

16499s	hands are size of my
16501s	shoulder all right so we're back down to
16504s	Loser bracket matches again so we have
16506s	evasive maneuvering versus rage quck
16507s	cancel sub we only have eight teams
16510s	remaining in Alliance tournament
16513s	only it's funny that it happens this
16514s	quickly you know it really because you
16517s	all of last weekend it feels like
16518s	there's so many teams and nobody's
16520s	really getting eliminated and it's just
16521s	a churn over and over and over again but
16522s	as you get now towards day three I mean
16525s	it's it's quick I mean we started today
16527s	with what uh
16528s	24 am I WR we lost 14 last weekend so
16532s	whatever 32 minus 14 is 16 maybe that
16535s	what whatever the number is I listen I'm
16536s	an American I don't know math uh it and
16539s	it happens so quickly from this point on
16541s	and also how Qui people can fall like
16542s	paper numbers I think were in the Victor
16544s	the winners bracket and went from
16545s	winners to losers to out within best
16547s	space about an hour and a half life
16548s	comes at you fast it is brutal and as a
16551s	fan I was like oh that's a that's a
16553s	sudden shift of Fortune yeah yeah you
16555s	know what they say yeah get knocked down
16556s	got to get back up again you can't this
16557s	time you can only you do that twice and
16559s	no more times after that yeah after that
16561s	you're done no more getting back up U
16563s	also um if someone with twitch admin is
16566s	is paying attention I think it would be
16567s	interesting to have a poll um would you
16569s	rather fight um a god
16573s	he what it how this two two Wingnut
16575s	sized CB or one CB sized
16579s	Wingnut like who would win uh maybe
16582s	three C size wi nuts I think maybe no
16586s	listen listen here's the thing you like
16588s	I I'm super topheavy so like go for the
16590s	legs I'm done that's easy weak weak spot
16594s	just all right let's take a look at the
16596s	bands for our next match Rage Quit
16598s	cancel sub versus invasive maneuvering
16600s	okay so Rage Quit cancel sub Banning out
16602s	the abadin the Loki the Talia and the
16605s	Deacon invasive maneuvering Banning out
16608s	the EOS the onos uh the Zoras and the
16611s	Riva so both Tavian logistic ships The
16614s	Tech 2 and the tech1 variants banned out
16617s	Wing knut cross that's interesting what
16619s	do you think about that is that our
16620s	first R Diva ban it might be it is it's
16623s	yeah we saw maneuvering bring the arm
16626s	Widow comp earlier uh with the lak then
16628s	they brought uh the uh the lak again but
16632s	but this time with a Riva and it's still
16633s	one so um I find it super interesting
16636s	that they're choosing to ban these out
16637s	yeah they're banning out their own like
16638s	hey this is a cool comp you're using and
16640s	we're getting rid of it and EOS has
16641s	always been a solid band it's it's been
16643s	showing its strength more and more so
16645s	that's honestly just a solid we just
16646s	don't want to see good armor comp it's
16647s	so funny the Riva and the zarm Mas band
16650s	really more I think more than almost any
16651s	other ban that you see is is absolutely
16654s	telegraphing like hey we do not want to
16655s	see that Widow comp like we don't want
16657s	to see widows we don't want to see
16658s	battleships like we don't want to see
16660s	but they are the Widow comp
16662s	that's what I'm it's very strange it's
16664s	it's it's an I mean I you know if if
16667s	they are if they are expecting it from
16669s	an opponent then it makes sense but if
16671s	it's one of your stronger comps and you
16672s	really have to wonder where that's
16673s	coming from oh I see the the would you
16675s	rather fight PO is up I
16678s	better let's see what we got three wing
16680s	size yans currently in the
16681s	lead okay okay okay they would you think
16685s	they would stack on each other like a
16687s	big TR got good legs can stack up for
16690s	that as well three wi sians I feel like
16692s	take that okay I'm pretty sure one Yan
16694s	siiz Wing that would be terrifying it'
16696s	be it's a tasan devil the largest
16698s	Australian known to
16700s	man it's a pretty big Australian all
16703s	right might not be wrong might not be
16705s	wrong predictions for this match CTB
16707s	this is uh two pretty experienced teams
16709s	of course uh vasive maneuvering they are
16711s	made up of a number of people from
16713s	former vidy LED and of course we showed
16714s	Pandy earlier on you know one of most
16716s	experienced people in Alliance
16717s	tournament history uh this is a team of
16719s	Champions essentially but they're going
16721s	up against um Rage Quit cancel sub which
16723s	is led by damasus cadesh he is also a
16725s	super experienced tournament veteran uh
16727s	is Captain teams for a while all the way
16728s	back from the MR championship in 2014
16730s	where he was one of the uh the holders
16732s	so you know again super high level of
16734s	experience on both sides yeah who you
16736s	going to go for here I you know I think
16738s	smart money is evasive maneuvering but
16739s	I've got a real soft spot for Rage Quit
16741s	cancel sub they've got a really good
16742s	name too and I'm big into Vibes uh I'm
16745s	the kind of The Vibes guy on this
16746s	broadcast uh and I they've they've shown
16749s	a lot I mean they've shown a lot of
16750s	gumin during this
16752s	the last couple days so I'm going with
16754s	rage rage quit cancel sub and what about
16757s	you br across what do you think between
16758s	these two teams last week I said Rage
16760s	Quit can't lose cuz either they win and
16762s	they're happy or they lose and they rage
16763s	quit and happy anyway there you go but
16765s	as you said I think the smart money Ser
16767s	evasive it's their match to lose yes
16770s	looks like um oh it's it's closer than I
16772s	thought but it's mostly three wing SI
16774s	yon is winning and it looks like it's
16775s	going to win uh one youth ins size wing
16777s	nut confirmed weaker option there I'm
16779s	not entirely sure if I should be happy
16781s	or sad about
16783s	I mean one way or another this is not
16785s	looking great for either of us yeah
16786s	indeed yeah okay so I'm looking forward
16788s	to this match I wonder if we're going to
16789s	see flagships uh based on the bands it
16791s	might be maybe sus if they are but
16794s	either way I think this is going to be
16796s	one of the matches of today I'm sure
16798s	about it so it is going to be one of the
16800s	matches of today 100% all right shall we
16802s	go to the arena let's go to the arena
16803s	for this match here in Alliance
16804s	tournament
16806s	20 all good hey welcome to yet another
16810s	exciting match of the alliance
16811s	tournament where we are going to have
16813s	evasive maneuvering in what appears to
16815s	be an absolute rush rush in moment with
16820s	all of those ham boats against a medium
16823s	gun spam comp in actually these appear
16827s	to be switched so uh damasus cadesh um
16831s	is in fact a member of Rage Quit cancel
16832s	sub not evasive maneuvering fafy wafi is
16835s	a team captain for um sorry for evasive
16839s	maneuvering maneuvering is on the is on
16841s	the red side where qu cancel Subs on the
16843s	blue side uh the titles are switched
16846s	however evasive maneuvering is in that
16847s	Shield Rush as you already mentioned
16849s	medium gun spam for Rage Quit cancel sub
16851s	so uh definitely and there we go uh or
16856s	other way around Rage Quit cancel Subs
16857s	in the gun is in the shield rush evase
16859s	maneuverings in the meum gun span we
16860s	finally got it done uh anyways uh so
16864s	they this is a match up we've seen a
16866s	couple times before uh I'm interested to
16869s	see how vase maneuvering deals with this
16870s	we saw all of the armor logy being
16873s	banned out except for the guardian they
16874s	went for in augur so have t tier one
16877s	Cruiser lodgy Rage Quit cancel sub saw
16879s	that are like no one's going to bring a
16880s	flagship here and they brought this
16881s	Shield Rush uh so it'll be interesting
16883s	to see if a v maneuvering can actually
16885s	string out the shield Rush with uh less
16887s	of that screen that we typically see in
16889s	a lot of these comps that go into the
16890s	shield Rush Yeah so basically uh now
16893s	that we've um you know lindsy low hand
16894s	ourselves back into Freaky Friday where
16896s	the chips are on the right names and
16898s	everything um evasive maneuvering just
16901s	off of the jump um from what I've seen
16904s	out of this level of play from them uh
16906s	when they faced us kind of with this
16907s	composition they should win this on
16909s	draft usually the median um span when we
16912s	get to these top eight matches tends to
16914s	beat rush for the simple reason that
16917s	evasive maneuvering you're seeing now
16919s	that the clock is started is about to
16921s	probably burn away and try to Starburst
16923s	so this raptor is going to try to get on
16924s	top of something uh possibly a bruex
16927s	here or in the start meanwhile the Navy
16928s	ospre of caspe is being shot and repped
16931s	evasive maneuvering um is doing a decent
16934s	job of getting a lot of their ships to
16936s	pull out but getting a Navy Brutus and
16938s	oh a Navy prosy CAU that could be pretty
16940s	painful here yeah trying to get the uh
16943s	the screen out they get the Navy ospray
16945s	down they've got another scram on a
16946s	Hunter Hughes and the other Navy ospray
16947s	their Navy brck still very very low
16950s	armor and this is the key right if
16951s	you're in a setup like this you need to
16954s	string out the shield rush so they're
16955s	not able to effectively go one to the
16957s	next to the next we see there is no Loki
16960s	there are no Hicks from quit cancel sub
16962s	they're going to have a hard time
16963s	getting on top of targets after the
16964s	first couple they're onto this Navy
16966s	prophecy now but they're going to trade
16967s	back onto this Navy ospre maneuvering
16969s	are deleting this Navy ospr because oh
16972s	my God the Russians have got all their
16974s	ships T caught the Navy Osprey has or
16976s	sorry the Navy prophecy has been caught
16978s	the are starting the Absolution were
16980s	actually scrammed but it looks like
16981s	those are dropping in favor of an
16983s	augurer trade so the augurer is
16985s	currently being um sat on meanwhile the
16988s	Osprey uh is also being shot so it looks
16990s	like oh my God the Raptor actually lost
16993s	tackle on that Osprey so sorry the augur
16996s	rather so but the Absolution theard are
16997s	currently tackled as well and the web's
16999s	back on the augurer so a b of
17001s	maneuvering unfortunately rage Quint
17003s	cancel sub has been able to catch up
17005s	with these medium armor boats they're
17006s	nearly taking down this Absolution
17007s	they're able to trade for the ospre at
17009s	the very least so all the lodg gone for
17011s	wage crit cancel sub they don't really
17012s	have any uh bonused uh XL ASB type ships
17015s	on their side but the absolutions down
17018s	and AAS maneuvering are currently down
17019s	54 to 96 so here's problem look at the
17022s	attack bar right for either team and now
17024s	the augur again is being caught the
17026s	Raptor of Lucius vanf is absolutely
17029s	cooking the chef has gotten into the
17031s	backline is on top of that augurer and
17033s	we now see a cloud of damage Zone
17035s	swarming that augurer and the rest of
17037s	the team of uh vas maneuvering is trying
17041s	to desperately save him but blood ConEd
17043s	get secondary tackle gets on top of that
17045s	Aug I I mean it's just over you've lost
17047s	three out of your four battle Cruisers
17049s	in a medium gun spam setup you're now
17051s	losing your auger this is a shield Rush
17053s	they're going to be faster than you on
17054s	paper aase maneuvering just did not
17056s	screen this nearly as much as they could
17058s	have with uh The Limited tackle that
17060s	they have in this medium gun spam setup
17062s	and now Rage Quit cancel sub right even
17064s	though they don't have the long-range
17065s	tackle they don't have a lowkey they
17067s	don't have a hick uh they're just able
17069s	to continually Ram into evasa
17071s	maneuvering who just balled up at the
17073s	start didn't Starburst effectively and
17074s	now rage quck cancel sub are going to
17076s	take out the winners of anger games yeah
17078s	so again evasive maneuvering uh this was
17081s	a team that that even um you know we had
17083s	CCP uh members being like hey you know
17085s	when I played them when they were VRA
17087s	when they were other teams right related
17089s	I mean yes they're going to kill the
17090s	Squall that is a good Target um I don't
17093s	want to count all my chickens before
17094s	they two hatch as I say right is uh
17096s	Pandy thear has now been caught by what
17099s	appears to be a combination of the
17101s	Raptor again Lucius van CLE an absolute
17104s	hero I think he's going to die based on
17106s	the drones that we un see on top of him
17108s	but that Raptor had burned 220 km just
17112s	trailing Benny Hill Music a cloud of
17114s	angry light drones after him and
17116s	survived critically getting on top of
17118s	that augurer getting initial tackle and
17120s	then breaking it on the Navy prophecy
17122s	and the bruix was what sealed Rage Quit
17124s	cancel sub's Victory here yeah I I mean
17128s	it's absolutely brutal what they've just
17130s	done to aasa maneuvering with a single
17132s	fast tackle ship once again no long
17134s	range tackle this is something we always
17135s	talk about Shield Rush that needs
17136s	longrange tackle they just were able to
17138s	keep aasa maneuvering from spreading out
17141s	star bursting doing whatever they needed
17143s	to here and evasive maneuvering I mean
17145s	they've got two mullers two Omens and a
17146s	visual the pains aren't going to really
17147s	help them at all uh and uh there's just
17150s	so much more attack bar so much more
17151s	defense bar uh from which could cancel
17153s	up heck even the control bars are the
17155s	same for both these teams as they've
17157s	just got tackle mids uh in the remaining
17159s	ships yeah now this merer here of uh
17162s	blue has being um held down uh or was
17165s	being held down initially so Rage Quit
17168s	to cancel sub uh sorry this merer Y is
17170s	now being caught in the furball and is
17172s	going to pop here so again we've been
17175s	talking about how there are these teams
17178s	that have very storyed um you know
17181s	tournament runs but it it could just be
17183s	one bad match and that's all it takes I
17185s	mean their match was very close against
17187s	barcode to put them into the lower
17189s	bracket and again this was just kind of
17191s	maybe a bit of a misplay here where um
17194s	they didn't Starburst is fact but like
17196s	rage quck canel sub I would have not
17199s	necessarily expected them to seize on
17200s	their win condition like they did but
17202s	godamn they've played their lights out
17204s	at the beginning of the match to get
17205s	that tackle and to continue to snowball
17207s	this yeah and again Shield Rush is not a
17210s	comp that we see very often this late in
17211s	tournaments typically teams will bring
17213s	comps that they're comfortable taking
17215s	into a shield Rush uh because of Shield
17218s	Rush being one of those gatekeeper comps
17219s	we see uh this time around this
17221s	particular Shield Rush ends up dealing
17222s	with aasa maneuvering very effectively
17224s	uh the dark side/ VRA Uh Russian team is
17228s	going to be out they still at least made
17230s	it to the top eight but they will not
17231s	make top six ragequit cancel sub is
17233s	going to be one of our two lower bracket
17235s	top six teams uh for the time being the
17238s	next match will determine the next one
17240s	uh but I mean really well played by
17242s	range quck cancel sub uh this is a team
17245s	made up of several tournament vets who
17246s	have kind of pieced together uh this
17248s	team around debug as their captain and
17250s	rage quck cancel sub have like
17253s	absolutely uh shattered what I think a
17255s	lot of people were expecting from them
17257s	in taking out evasive maneuvering I mean
17259s	I I'll St say it there were people that
17260s	I knew
17261s	um that were say saying damasus cadesh
17264s	he's washed he hasn't done anything in
17265s	years blood ConEd he's washed he hasn't
17267s	done anything in years they are proving
17269s	the haters absolutely wrong here
17271s	knocking out evasive maneuvering who I
17273s	got to say just on paper you you look at
17275s	them they're one of the top four or five
17277s	teams right you got to thank them truth
17279s	honor light you look at tuskers again
17281s	you know barcode some of these teams I
17283s	mean heck even Volta before they went
17285s	out these are teams that have
17286s	historically done very very well and you
17289s	know Rage Quit cancel sub showing
17291s	um any given day any given match you can
17294s	knock out in a B1 and you can be you
17297s	know the Victor yeah and uh obviously
17300s	things could always go differently in
17301s	different things this is a result I
17303s	don't think a Bas maneuvering are going
17304s	to be very happy with uh having expected
17307s	to be kind of one of those top four
17308s	teams having one anger games uh up
17311s	against barcode in second Now barcode uh
17313s	making their way into the top six of Bas
17315s	maneuvering not so much and uh
17318s	unfortunately for them that's the end of
17319s	the road R quit cancel some I got to
17320s	admit extremely impressed with how
17322s	they've been playing this tournament
17323s	yeah I mean imagine being a team right
17326s	like and that's where you can come from
17328s	behind right like no one has any
17329s	expectations externally for you you're
17331s	like oh oh okay you made top six you
17333s	made top eight that's better than we
17335s	already thought you did when you're a
17336s	base of maneuvering all the pressure is
17338s	on you you're one of these teams where
17340s	if people look at you and you say oh you
17341s	didn't get top four like what what did
17344s	you do this year and uh R quit canel sub
17348s	I mean playing immaculately in a rush
17351s	yeah yeah an imaculate rush we seen mjd
17353s	play actually from this Nighthawk trying
17354s	to get on to of this visual perhaps uh
17357s	77 km versus 100 so the vigils burning
17359s	into the Nighthawk can we get the web
17361s	yes we do so evasive maneuvering will
17364s	end up losing all their ships and we
17365s	will not have an edge of glory uh at the
17368s	end of this match but uh still well
17370s	played to rage quit cancel sub
17372s	commiserations to evasive maneuvering
17373s	and uh you know ragequit cancel sub
17375s	they've secured top six um which is uh
17379s	really really nice one more match you
17381s	end up getting into top four and then
17383s	you get into the real meat and potatoes
17384s	of the priz ships and the day appearance
17387s	we'll see them later today yeah I'm
17389s	saying given though their name think
17391s	about all the Plex I know it's expensive
17393s	on the J and the mar Market it's all
17394s	been bought out but with all the prize
17396s	ships you're about to win you can afford
17398s	it right you don't have to cancel your
17399s	sub you can probably pay for all your
17401s	member subs for the next like 10 years
17403s	and plus with all of this yeah and not
17405s	just their Mains right all their alls as
17407s	well yeah of course it's E online you
17408s	have to have vets or else what are you
17409s	doing like if you don't have vets you're
17411s	not even really an e player just not
17413s	really but for these guys yeah uh
17415s	anyways we're going to send it to a
17416s	quick break when we return the desk will
17418s	break that down and we'll get right back
17420s	uh into this after this break
17445s	invasive maneuvering there getting
17446s	knocked out of Alliance tournament 20
17449s	the former Champions under different
17451s	names they drop down uh to rage quit
17454s	cancel sub in a very exciting match I
17456s	mean I think wng that um this seemed
17459s	like a bit of a misplay from aasa
17461s	maneuvering there what do you think I am
17463s	not an at Pilot I'm not an 0 Captain but
17467s	I looked at that and went okay why did
17469s	they all not move there's a rush coming
17471s	right at them why did they not Starburst
17472s	to the four corners of the earth they
17474s	just unless like the UI was having a bit
17476s	of trouble which I had a few times today
17478s	they just sacked there yeah it's like
17479s	you could have pulled range I get maybe
17481s	they were considering can we win the
17481s	damage race but it's like a situation
17483s	where you don't need to yeah I feel like
17484s	the tayls all the time though that uh
17486s	you know very experienced tournament
17487s	veteran team comes in um with you know
17490s	some sort of like big brain comp uh and
17492s	then goes up against some people who
17493s	just approach F1 and that's not to you
17495s	know the funny about big brain comp
17497s	their comp was median gum man big brain
17500s	they brought like
17501s	both teams brought clubs to hit each
17502s	other with just one person hit harder
17504s	well but you know it is funny we were
17506s	complaining about the triple merer comp
17507s	just a little while ago and they came
17509s	back and that they did the they did the
17511s	the thing they did the not triple merer
17513s	they used those extra points for
17514s	something else and by all accounts had a
17517s	better comp than than uh you know we saw
17520s	during that that triple merer comp
17522s	earlier but at the end of the day it
17524s	just did not matter that team came out
17526s	and they were Gad zooked they were Gad
17529s	zooked they were not ready that told me
17532s	um one of the Adat he like I'm going to
17533s	use the word get they were Bamboozled my
17536s	friends they were not ready for the rush
17538s	they they needed to move immediately uh
17541s	our good friend Alaris just or Ali Aris
17543s	a minute ago just standing here said you
17545s	know what you have a minute and a half
17547s	when you land on grid and you have to
17548s	like devise a plan and in that situation
17550s	the plan is oh my God they're going to
17553s	try and Rush us we see hams maybe we
17555s	should move we got to go and they did
17557s	not go they did not go I mean a lot of
17559s	points got reallocated everyone was
17561s	betting on um evasive maneuvering there
17564s	uh you're welcome to those who won
17566s	that's partly our fault hell yeah um and
17569s	I mean honestly I was a little bit
17570s	surprised to see them going there I know
17571s	damasus and uh the rage quit team are
17573s	extremely competent team as well um but
17576s	I mean that that was a solid team in
17577s	evasive maneuvering uh so I was that to
17579s	me that was a bit of an upset but
17580s	everyone played super well um just to
17583s	shout out we saw some really good
17584s	piloting on both sides with people like
17585s	maneuvering into positions catching
17587s	things right at the end we saw a really
17590s	nice m
17591s	with a Nighthawk catching a vigil that
17593s	was just running around the arena trying
17594s	to waste time andw managed to just JP
17597s	right on top bang landed scram uh web
17600s	and just nuked him uh excellent play CCB
17602s	overload approved so you can take that
17604s	one uh with you now we have some stats
17607s	to look at uh for the alliance
17609s	tournament so far let's first of all
17610s	look at the most commonly brought chips
17612s	in Alliance tournament 20 and see what
17614s	you guys are choosing to fly so looks
17616s	like obviously the Deacon is super
17618s	popular tends to be brought in pairs but
17620s	sometimes choose a point inflation you
17622s	will bring it with um uh the Talia
17624s	instead but the Deacon if you're going
17625s	to choose two of one it's the most
17627s	popular one then of course the pontif
17628s	effect Magus everyone loves them their
17630s	links their armor they're super powerful
17632s	and then the armag armag Navy was still
17633s	hanging around in the top four it did
17635s	slide backwards uh from I think it was
17637s	third at one point yeah um black bar
17639s	pirate right now is shivering and
17641s	doesn't know why and then we have the M
17644s	the arbitrator so merer we're seeing a
17646s	bunch of them being used they're super
17648s	chunky H you can fit scrams to them you
17650s	can fit to them they're just a very
17652s	powerful utility ship that can be really
17654s	hard to get off so you send it in as
17655s	like heavy tackle and it can be really
17657s	strong and then we're down into things
17659s	like uh the the mollus and the vexer
17661s	which vexer and merher kind of like can
17663s	be swapped around in their roles and
17664s	then finally it's finally cracked into
17666s	the top 10 uh the Squall the Squall has
17668s	arrived yes very good we're all very
17671s	happy about that very good all right
17672s	let's look at the top Logistics ship
17673s	specifically in aliance tournament 20 so
17676s	as we probably could have expected the
17679s	is super popular and again uh the
17681s	logistics figs tend to have their
17682s	numbers inflated because you bring them
17684s	as pairs uh you can see here the the
17686s	Deacon still super popular the most
17688s	popular one and then we're into
17689s	Inquisitor and scalpel uh interestingly
17692s	the most used Logistics Cruiser appears
17695s	to be the zorz little bit edging out the
17697s	onos It's usually the other way around
17699s	which is quite interesting I guess with
17700s	this year's meta the spooling especially
17702s	with these Widow comps starting to pop
17703s	out uh we're seeing a lot of them then
17705s	we have to go down a little bit further
17707s	before we get to the Scimitar and
17708s	finally the diva also taking a couple of
17710s	points off of the auguro here so good
17712s	spread of all the different logistic
17714s	ships shield and armor armor still
17715s	clearly the favorite here quick as well
17717s	with the Deacon one that Deon Thalia
17719s	difference usually the most efficient
17721s	point point use is Deacon and Thalia yep
17723s	but you no team are picking double
17725s	deacon at times which is not Point
17727s	efficient but the Deacon is the superior
17728s	ship people are going I'm willing to pay
17730s	for two of these exactly well and it
17732s	could be too that they get to the end of
17733s	their the the end of their comp they
17735s	have one or two extra points left over
17736s	and they think well I mean we're here
17738s	you know we've got the points to spend
17739s	might as well all right and let's look
17741s	finally one more graph one more graph
17743s	for you target painting ship usage in
17745s	Alliance tournament 20 um this is
17747s	somewhat to be expected I think this
17749s	doesn't look totally crazy to me but the
17751s	hyena is number one um followed by the
17754s	vigil and then the bellicose the the
17757s	much maligned bellicose uh is number
17759s	three way above the hugan and the vigil
17762s	Fleet issue so Target paints super
17764s	useful in Alliance tournament the Hena
17766s	is very very popular because not only
17767s	can you get those pants you also get
17769s	webs so it's a sort of Je use thing the
17771s	vigil is a lot cheaper obviously but it
17773s	only really does the paints wasn't that
17775s	vigil Fleet issue the one that was uh
17776s	doing a cheeky self Target paint uh or
17780s	is that just a normal vigil uh I have no
17782s	idea viil I believe it was a normal
17784s	vigil but at the same time I can't
17786s	remember things past 5 minutes so we'll
17787s	find later yeah what match are we on
17790s	Match 54 we've seen 54 matches sometimes
17792s	all blurs together into just wanten
17794s	destruction on the internet quick not
17795s	with the Bell Coast as well I love
17796s	seeing that one showing up more and more
17798s	cuz they are a cheap budget Target
17799s	Painter with damage
17801s	which is very nice cuz like said much
17803s	malign ship hey we bring them especially
17806s	if you bring with a for yourb we saw
17808s	earlier Balon web bellone paint there's
17811s	your hyena just in a bigger form bigger
17813s	and much more expensive form all right
17815s	let's look at the bands for this
17816s	upcoming match between deteriorated and
17817s	Odin's call we are still in the losers
17819s	bracket uh so these are still
17820s	elimination matches and they're coming
17822s	fast for some of these teams there's
17823s	only seven teams left in the tournament
17825s	so every time they play it's another bit
17827s	of fatigue they have to get back
17828s	together and start planning for the next
17829s	match as soon as they finished the
17831s	previous
17832s	one God pardon me I got so emotional
17835s	there this was such a overcome just the
17837s	drama of it so deteriorated Banning out
17840s	the mollus the snir The Inquisitor and
17841s	the Navitas I'm sorry what an
17843s	interesting set of Baner the tech 1
17844s	Logistics frigs yeah what okay and then
17847s	Odin's Banning out the EOS the zaras the
17849s	orthis and the Praxis uh M mystical M
17852s	wing nut cross your thoughts here I I
17855s	feel like I've entered La La Land okay
17856s	the practice is suddenly a ship to be
17858s	worried about oh don't worry we're going
17859s	to ban the T1 l fre let's leave the
17861s	Deacon we just shown was everywhere
17863s	these people are playing a different
17864s	game yeah I like this I mean seem to be
17867s	yon what do you think here here's the
17869s	thing I don't give a [ __ ] about bands uh
17871s	it's pretty pretty you know I think most
17873s	people kind of understand my my whole
17875s	vibe about this uh generally your bands
17878s	are until you get to the finals your
17880s	bands are really just there to kind of
17882s	um either push down things that you have
17884s	found that you don't like or things you
17886s	have not you know youve you've seen from
17887s	teams that you've played uh you know
17890s	that have had had matches before you um
17892s	or you know very Loosely uh you know
17895s	push things here or there uh again what
17899s	do we get out of seeing that they don't
17900s	want T1 armor lodgy I don't I don't know
17904s	uh they're extremely cheap um they are
17906s	extremely cheap just bamboozling people
17908s	like just like we got ban those but
17910s	here's the thing like they are cheap I'm
17912s	not going to deny that even a little bit
17914s	but when you're in a situation where
17915s	there are so many other comps that we've
17917s	seen that use Thalia Deacon and use them
17919s	well and NE banned and neither were
17921s	banned what do you really get from that
17923s	I guess
17926s	is that's the point I'm trying to say is
17928s	like I think he made a point for us
17930s	there what in the world is going on I'm
17931s	sure someone somewhere has a spreadsheet
17933s	that explains this and there as much I
17935s	don't want to pretend like I'm they're
17936s	not much smarter than me they know much
17937s	more than I do I'm just saying if this
17939s	is if this if there's a logic to this it
17941s	is above my simple monkey brain mine too
17944s	I think all right let's head over to the
17946s	arena for this match H here in Alliance
17948s	tournament 20
17951s	welcome back to the arena my name is f
17953s	joined by Ali Aris and on the red side
17955s	we have deteriorated who have brought
17956s	triple rapid heavy what have Odin's call
17958s	brought Odin's call also have triple
17960s	rabbit heavy we have a and the
17963s	difference between these two comps
17964s	deteriorated they have a little bit more
17966s	control their celestus is going to be
17967s	able to damp out the ships from the
17969s	Odin's call team again that pontif
17971s	effect on the Odin's call team
17973s	absolutely critical to keeping those
17974s	ships able to lock meanwhile Odin's call
17976s	they have a crucifier which will disrupt
17978s	the long distance missiles from
17981s	deteriorated deteriorated they've got
17983s	two bombers to Odin's calls one it's
17985s	going to be a pretty close matchup here
17987s	uh Odin's call probably is going to end
17989s	up having to go in a bit which means
17991s	that I expect to see those missile
17993s	guidance disruptors on the purifier and
17996s	the Hound more than the battleships
17997s	maybe this could just end up being a
17999s	battleship brawl in the middle we'll
18000s	have to see if to br's Flagship Navy
18003s	Armageddon is going to be the thing that
18005s	lets them carry this through right and
18008s	as we see the points slightly different
18009s	at the high end Armageddon versus
18011s	Armageddon Navy issue bring that second
18013s	one to complement your Flagship and this
18015s	hyena I think and the second bomber are
18017s	going to be really important for
18018s	deteriorated in this match that bomber
18021s	going to apply perfectly to Any Given
18022s	Battleship even with rage Torpedoes
18024s	especially with the uh bonus web from
18026s	the hyena or bonus paint from the hyena
18028s	so uh deteriorated we'll see how they
18031s	play this one out Odin's call has that
18033s	Flagship Advantage going for them and as
18035s	we see both teams just start burning in
18037s	but Odin call is the one that burns in
18039s	the more Detro is actually pulling back
18042s	yeah that makes sense deterior has the
18043s	range Advantage here with their celestus
18045s	and you can see damage already coming
18047s	onto the Paradigm Odin's call they're
18049s	holding their clip until they're able to
18051s	get close and find the Target that
18053s	they're looking for yeah and the damps
18054s	on the crucifier and this purifier as
18056s	well trying to pull the bomber in closer
18058s	but also keeping that crucifier uh from
18060s	being able to get the guidance
18062s	disruption onto deterior that's high end
18064s	we see this damage now on the sleet
18066s	typhoon of the Paradigm as you already
18067s	mentioned he's painted but he's not
18069s	webbed a little bit gu disruption on a
18071s	qap as navy Armageddon as we speak but
18073s	Odin's call still uh trying to burn in
18076s	and trying to get their first clip going
18079s	the way they want in fact they go for
18080s	the armagon first definitely and we can
18083s	see damage drones coming in those damage
18085s	drones are adding to the cloud of damage
18088s	on the paradig but the logistics of
18090s	Odin's call able to keep the paradig up
18092s	Martin Conrad and the crucifier
18094s	meanwhile it seems to be taking a little
18095s	bit of damage as that crucifier is you
18098s	can see it's just disrupting the nav
18100s	Armageddon probably actually all in on
18102s	that Navy Armageddon to prevent it from
18104s	being able to apply fully well caral
18106s	ks's Navy Armageddon the flagship has
18108s	been webbed and tackled down we actually
18110s	see these rapid heavy Clips going into
18112s	Colonel cart so deteriorated with their
18114s	triple rapid heavy Battleship and their
18116s	double bombers are going to try to get
18118s	the head shot down onto Colonel Kurtz's
18120s	uh Flagship na
18122s	Armageddon and this could be huge
18124s	Colonel CTS likely you know reasonable
18126s	amount of muffer flagships are usually
18128s	quite heavily tanked probably has a good
18129s	local but meanwhile Oden call trying to
18132s	trade it back onto qappa also in the
18133s	Navy Armageddon dipping into low armor
18136s	as Colonel Curts is getting repped up by
18138s	the logistics by the logistics and also
18140s	the ever powerful local rep that you can
18142s	put on these flagships right you can put
18143s	purple reps on them slightly better than
18145s	the blue versions oh and there goes
18148s	qappa okay so Odin's call First Blood
18150s	and that is a big big deal in this
18153s	battleship in this battleship war with
18155s	these rapid heavy things it's most
18157s	important that you kill something first
18159s	that you get all of your CLI in now
18160s	deteriorated they don't have one of
18161s	their battleships they don't have one of
18163s	their battleships and that means that
18164s	they're not actually going to be able to
18165s	clip through any of these battleships
18166s	they go for the flagship head shot and
18168s	unfortunately for them it just doesn't
18169s	work as the Thalia gets absolutely
18171s	deleted just gets nuded out and then
18173s	taken out by drones now the webs onto
18175s	this Deacon mores onto the Deacon as
18177s	well matisz now down to 200 met per
18180s	second 100 met per second and meanwhile
18182s	the sweet typhoon of Reggie has been
18184s	tackled up and is getting some damage
18185s	going onto him as well yeah and this is
18187s	what we see a lot in these rapid heavy
18188s	comps the uh rapid heavy ships on Odin
18191s	called those three battleships they
18192s	aren't firing right now they're on
18194s	reload they've uh clipped or if they
18196s	haven't clipped they've chosen to reload
18198s	so that they'll have a full clip and in
18199s	the meantime oh their Clips back okay
18202s	here we go Fleet typhoon uh webbed nuded
18205s	and uh painted and there's just so much
18208s	damage from Odin's call their attack bar
18210s	is absolutely massive their control bar
18212s	as well uh using those bonus NES from
18214s	the Dual Navy armagedon uh using you
18217s	know the rest of their control in this
18219s	crucifier keeping the purifier and the
18221s	Hound from being able to do a whole lot
18223s	to the Odin call Battleship line Reggie
18225s	Ador and the fleet typhoon now very low
18227s	armor dipping in a structure now and
18229s	Odin's call I mean they take out the
18231s	Navy Armageddon and the fleet typhoon
18233s	they're going to be able to keep Colonel
18234s	Curts alive throughout the rest of this
18236s	match and they'll move on into the top
18240s	six deteriorated out in top eight but a
18243s	very good showing for them for really
18244s	their first at run oh yeah definitely
18246s	top eight is uh not only do they have
18248s	prize ships they have a a decent number
18250s	of prize ships so that'll be able to
18252s	fund their next year's team as well as
18254s	be a very exciting reward for this
18255s	year's team Odin's call meanwhile second
18258s	in at18 top 12 I believe in 1819 and now
18263s	looking to come back and make it into
18265s	the top four of at20 they've got top six
18269s	and they're on to the loser of uh the
18273s	next uh couple of matches uh upper
18275s	bracket matches are our next two so
18278s	Odin's call getting top six uh they're
18281s	getting a very good run for it and not
18283s	to minimize deteriorated this is a
18285s	massive run for this team um a lot of uh
18288s	couple of tournament V that I recognize
18290s	on the team but uh mostly a bit of an
18293s	unknown going into this tournament and
18295s	uh they've really really done well up
18298s	against a lot of these top uh
18300s	competition deteriorated has shown very
18302s	good piloting good comps throughout this
18304s	whole tournament they've been they were
18306s	extremely convincing in the winners
18308s	bracket until they came down and joined
18309s	us here in the losers
18310s	and even losers they've been still
18312s	pretty strong yeah just a really great
18315s	run from them and top eight nothing to
18317s	sneeze at obviously odens call going
18319s	into that top six as they clean up these
18321s	bombers the Hound goes down and purifier
18323s	as well uh they're going to make this a
18325s	perfect Victory I'd have to imagine
18326s	unless this mal addiction ends up
18327s	falling uh but uh Odin's call uh right
18331s	back where they want to be uh really
18333s	really strong showing this tournament
18335s	after some lower placements and previous
18337s	ones so uh really excited to see what
18339s	they bring out in the top six matches
18341s	they will be playing later today uh once
18344s	again at the end of the day we will have
18346s	our top four so uh we will look forward
18348s	to those matches deteriorated though uh
18351s	still this purifier and celestus not
18352s	really tackled down but they're going to
18354s	get some damage from these rapid Heavies
18355s	anyway exactly this is the this is the
18357s	part of the game where you just cut it
18359s	out enjoy the arena got uh some
18361s	beautiful effects some sort of Aurora
18363s	going on in the in the background I'm
18365s	personally hoping that there will be
18366s	Aurora going on in real life tonight uh
18369s	the the oval is looking really good
18371s	there's gaps in the clouds it wasn't out
18373s	there when I looked like 5 minutes ago
18375s	but fingers crossed fingers crossed for
18377s	the Aurora spotting as we are here in
18379s	ccp's offices in Iceland uh in recc and
18383s	the celestus now going down tackled up
18385s	by Odin's skull and with that we're
18388s	going to take a quick break as soon as
18390s	the celestus Falls when we return the
18393s	desk will break this match down and then
18396s	we will see you right after this
18427s	Odin rang this time and they were there
18429s	to answer the call because that was a
18432s	pretty commanding Victory there
18433s	deteriorated unfortunately will be
18435s	leaving Alliance tournament 20 but they
18437s	made top eight which is pretty good um
18439s	chips yeah they get a whole bunch of
18440s	chips uh but that was um an interesting
18444s	sort of almost like King Slayer into
18446s	King Slayer style comp but we had uh a
18448s	couple of interesting differences
18450s	between the two sides the first thing I
18452s	want to talk about Wingnut H is the uh
18454s	deteriorated side they went with only
18456s	one command Destroyer they only had a
18458s	pontif effect and have a magus um this
18460s	is considered an important ship in what
18463s	lot of these comps because it brings the
18464s	Skirmish links why is that so important
18468s	it's I'm not the one to talk about links
18470s	but I will say there's a reason every
18472s	team brings both that is a significant I
18475s	call faux to not bring the entire Suite
18479s	so the fact that they didn't it's like
18480s	okay what were they going to do for that
18481s	and the answer is they did nothing they
18482s	just died yeah I mean the scrim things
18484s	are super important because obviously uh
18486s	they they do things for like reducing
18488s	your signature radius which against I
18490s	type comp with like heavy missiles or
18492s	rapid uh missiles that's important it
18494s	means you die less um C be Yen bit of a
18497s	misplay like they maybe brought thought
18499s	they could bring the celestus instead
18500s	yeah I mean I I kind like I like the
18502s	celestus I like I like those those damp
18504s	picks uh we talked about damps earlier
18506s	about how strong they are but
18508s	sacrificing your Skirmish links
18510s	especially into rapid Heavies seems like
18511s	such an odd move um you're the the
18514s	reason why that's so important is
18515s	because the rapid heavy uh or the rather
18518s	the Skirmish links also give give you um
18521s	Sig reduction which especially into
18523s	rapid Heavies is a huge deal that's so
18526s	much damage mitigation for your low end
18528s	that you just lose uh and on top of that
18531s	you also lose uh e one of either the um
18535s	the uh interdiction Maneuvers for range
18538s	on those scrams uh or you lose the
18541s	agility uh um link as well which is very
18545s	important when you're trying to go fast
18547s	especially in tend log fraks exactly so
18549s	so without those you're at a pretty
18552s	significant disadvantage basically from
18554s	the jump I don't know if if the link
18556s	itself like I feel like there is a
18557s	universe that exists where you can be in
18559s	a situation where you can have no links
18563s	or have not you can be missing your
18565s	Skirmish links and still outplay the
18566s	other team but you are you so far back
18569s	from the start that's a hard thing to do
18571s	yeah and I also want to talk a little
18572s	bit about um the the sort of execution
18574s	methodology of the two teams and we saw
18576s	that kind of different there so both
18577s	teams brought very similar comps with
18579s	the same kind of like the way you
18581s	execute those those comps um and one
18584s	team uh deteriorated they came in and as
18586s	soon as the match started they basically
18587s	started firing they just started
18588s	blasting like immediately uh meanwhile
18590s	we saw Odin uh hold their volleys
18593s	basically they just sat there held them
18594s	did not fire for a while you saw them
18596s	kind of positioning jockeying for
18598s	position as some would say and getting
18599s	ready until it was optimal so by the
18602s	time they actually started firing things
18603s	were moving slow things were tackled
18605s	things were at the perfect range and
18606s	then bang suddenly all the damage was
18608s	applied at the same time that's just
18609s	basically to do with like experience I
18612s	guess we'll say like that Odin SCS is an
18614s	experienced team they've had a couple of
18616s	like little oopsy daisies uh this
18617s	tournament so far but you know they are
18620s	by no means a a weak team they're
18622s	they're definitely going to have an
18624s	opportunity to go far and there's a few
18625s	ways that could have been had their
18626s	triple King Slayer comp be potentially
18628s	nuted at the start if they tried to
18629s	shoot too early the celestes could have
18630s	damped one of them out they could have
18632s	um they could have not fired the right
18635s	stuff they could also Ned out the uh
18636s	logy FRS at the start and waited for
18638s	that right moment like hey he's at zero
18639s	C hit there's a lot of different ways
18641s	they could have made that work and they
18643s	did which is perfect that's that's how
18644s	you do it you don't just fire missiles
18646s	out of willy-nilly which the other team
18647s	did a lot of they even brought twin
18648s	bomber to do that even more y I mean
18650s	when we talk about things like um uh
18652s	rapid heavy comps uh same with rapid
18654s	light comps uh we talk about clips and
18656s	clipping you hear this a lot from the
18658s	casters you hear it from the analysts
18659s	essentially what we mean is that when
18661s	you have a uh rapid Heavies or rapid
18663s	lights you fire a whole bunch of damage
18665s	you do tons and tons of damage and then
18667s	there's like a 35 second reload window
18670s	it feels like an eternity Alliance tour
18672s	match it is trust me it's a very long
18673s	time so um you want to make sure that
18676s	your battleships don't get out of syn
18677s	especially if the other team has
18679s	Logistics because of course they can rep
18681s	it up and so if only one is firing at
18683s	any one time because you're out of sync
18685s	then it's an easy game for the logistics
18687s	pilot on the other side he just sits
18688s	there and Reps so you want to make sure
18690s	that uh you hold you ready and the other
18692s	problem with uh rapid Heavies and Rapid
18694s	lights is when they do clip when they
18696s	run out of missiles if the thing you
18698s	chose to shoot hasn't died there's now
18701s	35 seconds where the logistics uh is
18704s	able to just WRA it back up again and if
18706s	you have a situation where let's say
18708s	you're shooting an armor ship you get it
18709s	down into like you know 10% armor and
18712s	then you clip and then by the time you
18713s	shoot again it's back at 100% armor
18715s	you're aren't going to kill him you need
18716s	to you need to change your tactics you
18718s	need to go kill the logistics you need
18720s	to like new to that you need to do
18721s	something otherwise you are basically
18723s	just helpess yeah I mean it's it feels
18725s	like an obvious thing to say but you
18726s	only ever have as much DPS as you have
18728s	firing at any given point in time right
18730s	to the point that you made if you have
18732s	two ships that can that have a big break
18734s	of time in between when they can reload
18737s	then if one of them is firing and the
18739s	other one fires in that second block of
18741s	time you now effectively have half as
18743s	much potential DPS for a period of time
18745s	as you would have otherwise right uh now
18747s	that being said we did see deteriorated
18749s	bringing out what I I like winget's way
18751s	of phrasing it earlier the uh King
18753s	Slayer plus they did have two extra
18755s	bombers at the back they had a hound and
18758s	a purifier yeah yeah uh which is just a
18762s	little bit of extra DPS that can help
18764s	you fill in those gaps but if you're not
18766s	ready for you know volleys you're not
18768s	ready for Clips then it really doesn't
18770s	matter if you have that extra DPS you're
18772s	still not going to be push you're you're
18774s	still not going to be able to push
18775s	through battle ships yeah I feel like
18776s	bombers are one of those ships that can
18779s	be incredibly valuable in tournaments
18781s	they're not very expensive uh points
18783s	wise and they do a ton of DPS especially
18785s	against a battleship heavy comp however
18787s	if you come in and the opponents are
18789s	bringing all the Cruisers and battle
18790s	Cruisers so those bombers can sometimes
18792s	struggle a little bit but traditionally
18794s	it was like you saw double bombers in
18795s	every comp and then all a su people
18795s	start bringing ripples just going
18797s	hunting bombers constantly so it was for
18798s	a while it started being that bombers
18800s	started Vanishing for a while and people
18802s	stop started bringing like ooad stuff
18803s	like that heavy battle cruiser comp
18805s	which like bombers do okay with but
18807s	they're not perfect against that Jack
18808s	does too exactly yeah so for a while the
18810s	bombers did kind of die off but it's
18812s	good to see them come back especially in
18813s	these new king Slayer versions awesome I
18816s	see a couple of graphs we can use uh one
18818s	of them rather interesting so the
18819s	practice is seeing a little bit of a
18821s	shall we say Resurgence is quite a graph
18824s	in Alliance tournament we seeing a lot
18825s	more practice we even saw practice ban
18827s	just before and look at this look at
18828s	that number I mean wow CCB why didn't
18832s	anyone bring a practice in Alliance
18833s	tournament 7 I'm going to tell I'm going
18836s	to tell you there uh uh uh CP overload
18840s	didn't exist yep all do it for you yeah
18843s	like a free ban it is basically a free
18845s	ban and was free ban for years
18846s	afterwards as it turns out uh then L
18849s	tournament 16 suddenly it was the the
18851s	year of the practice I think it was uh
18852s	down pointed that year for some reason
18854s	or another or it was just particularly
18855s	cheap what I really like about this
18856s	graph is it it shows the process of
18860s	human innovation in real time what you
18862s	see here is a learning experience put on
18865s	paper you see the year where everyone's
18867s	like you know what hey new toy new toy
18868s	new Praxis that's a new toy that's a
18870s	cool thing and the next year everyone's
18872s	like God the prais no it sucks why do we
18875s	bring this I can actually share some fun
18877s	thing about the prce so it came out um
18879s	around the L T 16 we had uh a really
18882s	cool intro video uh just before the show
18884s	started it had like all these ships
18885s	flying around and stuff and we had a
18887s	couple of versions of this uh intro
18888s	video made and it was only right before
18891s	uh we were pretty much ready to go and
18893s	start the actual tournament itself that
18894s	somebody noticed that in that video the
18896s	practice was flying backwards yeah yeah
18899s	because the model looks like it should
18900s	fly one way it feel flies the other I'm
18902s	very proud of the first time I flew
18904s	practice when they first came out I was
18905s	like I'm not going to fly a regular fit
18906s	I'm going to fly a 2400 DPS polarized
18909s	torpedo yep all right let's go back to
18911s	looking at matches cuz this next one
18913s	coming up honestly big one going big one
18916s	so Platinum sensitivity versus truth
18918s	honor light so uh we are back up in the
18920s	winners bracket right now are we in
18921s	winnner semis yet or is this
18922s	quarterfinals uh this is quarters I
18924s	think but I don't really understand
18926s	these things so I could be wrong um but
18928s	we are here so pensivity versus truth or
18930s	a light not elimin elimination match
18933s	this is still the upper bracket so let's
18935s	take a look at the bans for these two
18936s	teams Plum sensitivity Banning out the
18938s	Sentinel the arbit tror the lisus and
18940s	the arazu interesting choice there with
18942s	the arazu under if they know something
18944s	that we don't truth on a light Banning
18946s	out the curse the jack do we saw that
18948s	before the Loki and the EOS when not
18950s	cross your thoughts on these bands here
18952s	the Sentinel arbitrator is exactly what
18953s	we're expecting to see it's almost like
18955s	this point you can ban those and not
18956s	tell anyone what you're bringing like
18958s	the arazu one did you mention that's a
18961s	that's a eye raising one like huh so I
18962s	know in the last round um truth on light
18964s	had alus with just rexus SCS he pretty
18969s	sure boundar as well uh which there's an
18971s	Oopsy Daisy for you but they still won
18973s	uh they still won that match gam play
18975s	gamer play yeah didn't need that Lis
18977s	anyway um so I suspect Platinum
18979s	sensitivity uh don't want to be scrammed
18982s	off into different pockets of uh of the
18984s	arena with those two ships there so it
18986s	says to me perhaps they're thinking of
18988s	something more more rushy where they
18989s	want to get in on top of them and they
18990s	don't want to be strung out across the
18992s	arena what do you think about that c
18994s	Buon yeah I mean the especially for for
18997s	truth honor like the the um what what
19000s	we're what you can expect from these B I
19003s	know just a minute ago I said ah bands
19004s	are useless and I don't give a [ __ ]
19006s	about bands that's still true uh but at
19009s	the same time generally speaking teams
19012s	like truth onl TR teams like Platinum
19014s	sensitivity teams with the you know long
19015s	histories have been doing this for a
19017s	long time still have a reason for doing
19018s	these things while I have questioned the
19020s	logic of certain bands in the past it in
19022s	perhaps the distant past some might say
19024s	as of you know 10 minutes ago uh it it
19027s	is still you can you can still sort of
19029s	expect there is a there's an underlying
19031s	logic between these they're they're
19032s	trying to subtly push comps one way or
19034s	another knowing that there are still
19036s	replacements for those ships um that you
19039s	know they could fit if they needed to if
19041s	they if they wanted to adjust one way or
19042s	the other uh but you know these these it
19045s	all makes sense once you see things on
19048s	grid but from from you know a purely
19050s	speculative point of view up here a lot
19051s	of times it's hard to say okay so I
19053s	think we should go to the arena for this
19055s	one pretty soon because this is going to
19056s	be a really hype match this is probably
19057s	going to be one of the best matches that
19059s	we see here today I think is two
19061s	incredibly experienced and talented
19062s	teams with some amazing theat crafters
19064s	and amazing Pilots um I'm looking
19066s	forward to this one so let's hand it
19067s	straight over to the arena for this
19071s	match hello and welcome back to the
19073s	arena I Ali Aris here with feina for
19076s	truth honor light versus platinum
19078s	sensitivity uh Platinum sensitivity have
19080s	shown up with gun Rush at comp we
19081s	haven't seen much this tournament but we
19083s	are about to see them try to run in and
19085s	deploy uh hail right into the enemy Hole
19088s	uh fear what have truth light brought
19089s	they have brought Shield medium gun spam
19091s	but they've got a lot of Rd so might
19093s	call it a fly Killer maybe uh for an
19098s	age-old uh comp of your but either way
19102s	uh it is minitar Rush and it is a very
19105s	fast rush because they've also got cnal
19107s	uh which have uh lower relative points
19110s	than your typical pirate battle Cruisers
19112s	or pirate Cruisers excuse me so Platinum
19115s	sensitivity they're going to try to make
19116s	the rushi rush that has ever rushed in a
19119s	onor light and uh they have no longrange
19122s	tackle once again but uh much like we
19124s	saw earlier today not necessary uh
19127s	perhaps if you can get the right targets
19128s	at the right time with these two spit BS
19130s	I will say truth on our light they've
19132s	shown up with a fairly large amount of
19134s	control they have a kitsun for jams they
19136s	have a crucifier for tracking disruption
19137s	they have a mollus and a celestus I'm a
19140s	little bit concerned because that mollus
19141s	and celestus uh maybe will prevent the
19144s	like logy fgets from doing much depends
19146s	on what the link situation is like on
19148s	the the Platinum s team but uh damping
19151s	someone off of you doesn't really work
19153s	when they're like right next to you and
19155s	uh as a reminder this is the upper
19156s	bracket this is upper bracket semifinals
19159s	the winner becomes a top three team and
19161s	the loser still top six has to play
19164s	their way up one more time today and we
19166s	see the track disruption immediately
19168s	onto these three sers uh web onto Nicks
19171s	wiro and the sler as well as this Rush
19172s	keeps going in na is seeing the cineol
19175s	very very fast and trying to get on top
19177s	of one of these uh ships from truth
19179s	honor light no tackle has landed quite
19181s	yet though no what we see right now is
19183s	truth honor light they're they're
19184s	rushing in and of course uh or sorry
19186s	truth light are kiting my apologies uh
19189s	blue side is kiting red side is rushing
19191s	in Platinum sensitivity and uh looks
19193s	like damage is going on to that cinal
19194s	that cinal is in very low Shield very
19196s	very low shield and has dual scalpel but
19199s	they're damped out and uh everybody's
19201s	jammed so Platinum stivy lose the Cal
19203s	and these jams have actually been
19205s	absolutely massive because we saw the
19206s	Cal burn in but he didn't actually
19209s	tackle anything because he was jammed
19211s	out so even though Platinum sensitivity
19213s	is uh on paper a little bit faster than
19215s	these truth honor light ships uh right
19217s	with these dual CS these uh SPI they
19219s	just haven't been able to do anything
19221s	they track and disrupted we still have
19223s	seen zero tackle land on a truth onor
19225s	light this entire time and these jams
19227s	just keep on hitting onto this Platinum
19229s	sensitivity high end yeah we can see
19231s	some drones are chasing the uh truth on
19233s	her light hyena around but of course
19235s	hyena is a speedy boy hyena is managing
19237s	to survive meanwhile fipple just just
19239s	boom that's the power of these uh ships
19242s	they can uh artillery ships they can
19244s	just volley you off the field yeah and
19246s	uh I mean this is kind of how you want
19248s	to see this match run if you're truth
19251s	onor light right you you take out the
19252s	cable that was charging you you take out
19254s	the fipple that was charging you now you
19255s	take out the other cineol that's
19257s	charging you once again still no tackle
19259s	has landed onto this truth wer light
19261s	Squad whatsoever these jams these damps
19263s	doing everything that they need to and
19266s	so Platinum sensitivity they're losing
19268s	this cineol now they keep on losing the
19270s	DPS the slep are just continually
19272s	tracking disrupted and Truth on light
19274s	are doing what we expected evasive
19276s	maneuvering to do in the match earlier
19277s	today yeah truth on or late uh I was I
19280s	was wrong about these damps I'm just
19281s	going to straight up admit it uh the
19283s	damps are actually doing an amazing
19284s	thing to Logistics frigs I'm sort of
19286s	following one of these Logistics frots
19287s	around and basically what truth on our
19290s	light are doing is every time one ship
19292s	gets too far away from the logistic ship
19294s	forgets which you they have short range
19296s	and now they have even shorter range
19297s	it's somewhere between 20 and 30 km
19299s	probably whenever one of these ships
19300s	like the stabber that was just getting
19302s	shot gets way out far out in front TR on
19304s	light will switch to it and they will
19306s	start blowing it up and then uh oh oh
19309s	bye fipple yep and and then the stabber
19311s	will come back for reps or the the
19312s	scalpel will catch up and then some
19314s	other ship will get too far apart and
19316s	truth and a light meanwhile they're just
19318s	kiting they're just continually kiting
19320s	and you know cable fast ship swipp Fast
19323s	Trip stabber fast CHP does not matter
19326s	Tru th light also pretty fast in their
19328s	Fleet hurricanes getting that Skirmish
19330s	links from the the slepnir as well and
19332s	uh the hyena obviously giving those
19334s	bonus paints to those guns that truth
19337s	Hunter light have brought they're onto
19338s	the cineol now shitake LC has been in
19341s	and out of rep range for a little bit
19343s	longer we see the dams once again on the
19344s	scalp Cal still receiving reps but
19346s	they've moved onto the stabber again
19348s	exactly as soon as one ship gets reps as
19350s	soon as one ship gets in range they
19353s	switch immediately and this is why true
19355s	thunder light is a top team like both of
19356s	these are very good teams both of these
19357s	are top teams but this
19359s	uh very fast very decisive Target
19362s	swapping is what's winning them this
19363s	match here yeah really really nice
19366s	Target swapping and once again uh this
19368s	kitson uh absolutely massive for truth
19370s	hun light this crucifier and the smalls
19372s	also doing everything that they needed
19374s	to do uh the mallus uh obviously getting
19376s	these damps on the scalpel I mean uh
19378s	truth Hunter light is just a well-oiled
19380s	machine they have been for a very long
19382s	time and every single pilot is pulling
19383s	their weight in every single one of
19385s	these ships uh really Platinum
19387s	sensitivity they have stood zero chance
19389s	against truth honor light this entire
19391s	time this hyena keeps webing up these
19393s	slep keeping them at Bay keeping them
19395s	away from the truth honor light uh DPS
19397s	core and while they're tracking
19399s	disrupted and while they're damped out
19400s	they can't actually hit anything so long
19402s	as this hyena keeps the screen going and
19404s	now that now that most of that DPS has
19407s	been cleared out especially some of that
19408s	fast stuff like the the Spees one of the
19411s	uh one of the sbls it's time to go on to
19413s	the scalpel so one scalpel removed uh
19415s	the other scalpel night cap uh probably
19417s	soon to follow brain straw actually got
19419s	webbed so so senstivity has tackled and
19422s	immediately got jammed off so uh brain
19424s	straw no longer tackled uh truth hter
19426s	light just uh absolute master class in
19430s	uh what is I I hesitate to call it a
19432s	shield medium gun spam even because it
19434s	has so much control on the low end we
19436s	think of medium gun spam as this uh
19438s	archetype where you have eight gunships
19440s	or seven gunships uh this particular
19443s	comp they only brought four but those
19445s	four ships have the strong volley and
19446s	the rest of their comp has brought so
19448s	much control the celestus the smallest
19450s	the kitson this crucifier have kept
19451s	Platinum sensitivity down and completely
19454s	out for the punch I have not seen a
19456s	victory this clinical in a very long
19458s	time what yeah this isn't even like a
19460s	shield medium it's sort of you I
19462s	mentioned fly killer a little bit it's
19463s	not you know fly killer usually had a
19465s	whole like you have your art ship sure
19467s	but then you have some other ships that
19469s	let you just kill the opponent's low end
19471s	like right out of the gate this is
19472s	honestly like a Missle kite except we
19473s	replaced our heavy missile ships with
19476s	some artillery ships and it's working
19478s	great uh brain straw tackled again uh
19481s	scrammed webbed and you might start
19484s	taking damage but it's three SN against
19486s	one I mean look at the damps once again
19488s	look at these jams uh just trying to get
19491s	the the jam off onto these tackle ships
19493s	now he's scrammed as well so brain straw
19496s	finally under the brunt of all of these
19498s	[ __ ] but truth Hunter light has taken
19500s	out the entire low end of platinum
19502s	sensitivity they've only got these s n
19504s	and their N9 XL ASB charges a piece uh
19506s	to keep them alive and while TR TR on
19509s	her light uh their attack bar is about
19510s	even between these two uh the control
19512s	bar is still absolutely massive nearly
19514s	goes all the way to the end of the
19515s	screen for truth on her light and uh
19518s	even though this uh XL ASB charges from
19521s	Mark Bridges will keep them alive for a
19522s	little bit longer so will it for brain
19524s	straw exactly exactly so Mark Bridges is
19529s	Mark Bridges is probably going to doubt
19530s	brain straw honestly could go down here
19531s	three slep is quite a lot of damage and
19534s	they're all sort of right up against
19536s	each other so those tracking disruptors
19537s	the damps not as effective as anym the
19539s	jams might be but Mark bridg is going
19541s	down brain straw still surviving brain
19543s	straw still has the benefit of logistics
19546s	that in that Osprey that's just able to
19548s	comfortably rep no no dams no nothing
19552s	yeah Lucas Quan keeping the SLP there up
19554s	only only target you have to rep the
19556s	entire time uh I would say it's an easy
19558s	uh easy ly match but I know from your
19561s	experience it's anything but uh just
19563s	staying at the right distance staying uh
19566s	at the right place uh to keep Platinum
19569s	sensitivity from really having a single
19571s	chance on any of these truth honor light
19573s	ships Platinum sensitivity though
19574s	they'll drop down to the lower bracket
19576s	they're still top six they have one more
19577s	match left to play today when they do
19580s	play that match if they win their top
19581s	four and we'll see them tomorrow if they
19582s	lose they're out in top six truth honor
19584s	light though securing their spot in the
19586s	top three uh going to see them at the
19588s	beginning of tomorrow in those winter
19589s	brackets finals and uh just absolutely
19592s	clinical destruction of this Platinum
19594s	sensitivity Shield Rush indeed and uh
19596s	Platinum sensitivity will be playing
19597s	Odin's call
19599s	next up so so it'll be interesting by
19602s	next up I mean in like three matches
19604s	yeah yeah so truth honor light obviously
19607s	tournament favorites going into this one
19608s	they're doing everything that's been
19610s	expected of them but uh you know it
19612s	really kind of shows the gap between
19614s	teams that we expect in this kind of top
19616s	eight to top six uh range like Platinum
19619s	sensitivity and the true upper echelons
19622s	of uh the at right truth honor light has
19625s	such a storyed history as so many at
19627s	victories uh as various variations of
19630s	Hydra so truth honor light this time
19633s	around looking to get their second at
19635s	Victory under this banner and uh with
19637s	this slep near now going down uh they
19640s	have at least secured their way into top
19641s	three and they'll face the winner of the
19644s	next match which is going to be barcode
19646s	versus tuskers indeed and uh one one
19648s	last comment you know we talk sometimes
19650s	about if you're a new player a new team
19652s	you want to get in you want to copy
19653s	comps you can't just copy paste this
19654s	comp because unfortunately you can't
19656s	just copy paste the piloting skill of
19658s	every single person
19659s	on the THL team and with that we'll send
19661s	it to a break and then back to the
19678s	desk the indestructible Mark bridges
19681s	that has been proven to be false he is
19683s	in fact destructible as Platinum
19685s	sensitivity get I mean I don't think
19687s	there's any other words to say it just
19689s	dominated by truth honor like that was
19691s	one of the more painful matches to watch
19693s	I could see them just chasing around
19696s	truth on the light just going in circles
19697s	around the arena and I know I'd like to
19699s	see the fit of that kit soon I kind of
19701s	think that that was just all stacked red
19703s	gems I think Platinum sensitivity got a
19706s	giga PL right there yeah well I also
19709s	think the hugging uh was it that damp
19712s	sorry sest didn't they have the stist
19714s	had lots of TDS as well so I think
19716s	that's I think it was just uh
19719s	outp picked out banned out executed uh
19722s	honestly feels like um one of the more
19725s	dominating matches of the last couple of
19726s	years uh which is kind of surprising
19728s	against a team with the strength of
19730s	platum sensitivity like I'm not trying
19732s	to say that this was an easy win for uh
19734s	truth on a light just to be clear they
19736s	all flew exceptional in that match like
19739s	this is a really experienced team uh
19741s	shout out to the hyena pilot from truth
19744s	on the light he was just like looking at
19746s	things approaching his team and then
19747s	clicking his webs and like you shall not
19749s	approach you shall not approach you
19751s	shall not approach and just kept them
19752s	all apart it's super hard cuz at the
19754s	start we saw all the cable's
19757s	everything's going in and the hind part
19758s	has to kind of Juggle between the two
19761s	but I do think well the kit you
19762s	mentioned it as well during the match
19764s	yeah red jams I think yeah yeah I I I
19768s	don't really know what else like Bart
19770s	yes use your wrinkly analyst brain what
19772s	Plum Platinum sensitivity do differently
19775s	and to do anything better in that match
19777s	they don't so the so the only thing I
19779s	could think of
19781s	um if you maybe cuz I bet you that they
19785s	did not have infol links because they
19787s	ran with triple sner yeah which means
19789s	they probably so mimar ships are
19791s	relatively low sensor strength kind of
19793s	getting the nitty-gritty of this and the
19794s	thing that we saw that prevented uh
19797s	Platinum sensitivity from getting any
19798s	kills was 100% the jams like the hyena
19800s	pilot great job fantastic but they
19803s	actually got tackle on a brain straw
19805s	multiple times because uh I don't know
19807s	why brain straw I maybe go a little
19809s	faster next time but they did tackle
19811s	brain straw like at least four or five
19812s	times and every time like as they're
19814s	going up to brainy they get jammed off
19817s	and so I think that like maybe if you
19818s	had info links you could have survived
19820s	um it's like I said it's possible either
19822s	the kit scene was like all red jams or
19824s	got the luckiest dice rolls ever of all
19828s	time uh yeah no I don't I don't know
19830s	like this is the problem you know we
19831s	talked about it earlier if you are if
19834s	you have a comp and you can't beat
19835s	Shield rest with it don't fly it yep
19838s	that was clearly like the most practic
19840s	like okay well we know exactly what to
19842s	do as soon as they land through th
19843s	lights like yeah okay well we know how
19846s	to beat this they just flew in a big
19847s	circle and I mean that's yeah again just
19850s	sharting out like the the piloting
19852s	quality on truth on light we know it's
19854s	exceptional um but I would recommend you
19856s	know go back watch that match again and
19858s	just watch all the individual things
19859s	that each of those uh people on that
19861s	team are doing I would love to hear a
19862s	recording uh from their side of that
19864s	particular match I I bet you there was a
19865s	lot of chats a lot of going back and
19867s	forth people calling jams people calling
19868s	webs calling positions like 100% this is
19871s	why they are so successful because they
19873s	are just that good they are very very
19875s	good um but I want to shout out nith in
19877s	that um uh hyena so let's see if we can
19879s	get a little player chart up about him
19882s	uh and see if we can't take a look I'm
19884s	not sure if we have it available I can
19885s	see it on my screen um but I can see it
19888s	on your screen I'll describe it it's a
19890s	graph um featuring nith hinkin uh he
19893s	flies in truth on the light and has done
19895s	for the last four L tournaments um he
19897s	tends to fly the smaller support ships I
19900s	see a lot in the Sentinel the hyena the
19902s	carries couple MERS and he has flown the
19904s	barg a couple of times as well but he
19905s	mainly flies those those support ships
19907s	there we go so you can see it there and
19909s	look at that that win loss record 21
19911s	wins to five losses and more often than
19913s	not he does survive as well so this is
19915s	um a very experienced pilot and
19918s	sometimes these people flying these
19920s	smaller ships like the hyena you really
19922s	have to be you know a double clicking
19924s	space gamer to do a lot of this stuff
19926s	you have to be really aware of what's
19927s	going on you're you you looking at who's
19929s	approaching who's got velocity who's
19930s	getting near your teammates well also I
19933s	mean you're playing against things like
19934s	slep nears and stuff if you make a
19935s	mistake and get a little bit too close
19936s	at the wrong time I gets deleted you
19939s	know so that's that's some high skill
19940s	High APM gaming right there from from
19942s	nith and yeah again recommend go through
19945s	watch that match back um it was
19947s	excruciating to watch it um just because
19950s	it was so dominant but not not
19952s	undeserved it was probably it was
19954s	probably horrible to play against too I
19955s	imagine that was inred like they're just
19957s	like ah my ship should be faster you
19960s	know yeah I was thinking about it like I
19962s	think the only thing that they could
19963s	have maybe done and this probably
19964s	wouldn't have done anything is like get
19966s	a perfect mjd on top of the kid soon and
19968s	then like take it out with barrage and
19971s	if you don't I mean come on like that's
19972s	not going to happen we have to get CU
19974s	they're going to get damped so I mean
19976s	Platinum stivity they're not out uh that
19979s	was the Winner's bracket so they will
19980s	drop down
19984s	into like wait a second and then we've
19987s	got we've got we've got different wrink
19988s	bra analyst and tournament host that's
19991s	me that is you that is me oh my gosh
19993s	yeah that's also you that is also me
19996s	yeah yeah um so that was uh as I
19998s	mentioned um not an elimination match
20001s	Platinum sensitivity um will be back um
20004s	in the the lower bracket so they've they
20006s	they got a lot of spare time because
20007s	they've just been like knocked down
20008s	today teams that got knocked down in the
20011s	weekend one have had to play a lot more
20012s	matches to get to where they are now um
20014s	like there's still a lot to play for
20016s	there's still a lot of ships on the line
20017s	like these teams are B to like top six
20018s	at this point um so they are getting a
20020s	lot of ships a lot of prizes uh so I
20022s	expect to see Platinum sensitivity come
20024s	back let's actually take a quick check
20025s	at who they're playing next because I
20026s	think it will be interesting yeah
20027s	they're going to play Odin's call uh so
20029s	that should be an interesting match OD
20031s	call it's the second last match so we
20033s	say they don't get a lot of time they
20035s	get like 30 minutes they get 30 minutes
20036s	so they just the opposite of a lot I me
20038s	like forward now now they don't have
20040s	time now they have no time now they're
20042s	they're in panic mode so truth on the
20044s	light for example they can put the feet
20045s	up they can go home they not need it
20047s	until tomorrow now uh because they won
20048s	that match but uh Platinum sensitivity
20050s	they lost which means they now have to
20052s	come back and do it again and they could
20054s	play th tomorrow they could we've seen
20056s	that before we've seen it before that's
20058s	they go all the way through the losers
20059s	they play them again but the best off I
20060s	believe yes we best off at that point
20062s	all right let's look at the bands for
20063s	this next match which is again still in
20065s	the winners bracket it is the tuskers co
20067s	versus barcode so again another two
20069s	really experienced teams uh do we have
20072s	the bands if I just say bands until they
20075s	appear bands hello there we go Works
20080s	a yeah okay so the tuskers co Banning
20083s	out the zaras the Loki the EOS and the
20085s	pilgrim meanwhile uh looks like barod
20087s	Banning out the curse the arbitrator The
20088s	Sentinel and the crucifier so a lot of
20091s	tracking disruption and G destruction is
20093s	Off the Grid I think that's all of them
20095s	I think that's all of them every time we
20097s	say that there's always one we forget
20098s	about but what about I know I think
20100s	that's actually all of them that is all
20101s	of them yeah bco just saying no to any
20105s	and the ters saying they're probably
20106s	going to say no to all of them we'll do
20107s	the for them yeah literally yeah so SAR
20110s	what do you make of these bands here I
20112s	think well if this again this is
20114s	consistent across all a lot of the teams
20116s	everyone's just getting rid of a lot of
20118s	T TDS and stuff and GDs because they
20120s	want to maybe project and everything and
20122s	both these teams super seasoned tusker's
20125s	known for flying weird stuff we've seen
20127s	it today and barod really competent so
20131s	maybe ra spam maybe some maybe some
20134s	rushing or maybe some other games yeah I
20138s	feel like whenever like two really top
20139s	tier team play each other it's either
20142s	both of them bring something cheesy like
20144s	rush or both of them bring like their
20146s	Flagship like heavy armor coms like I
20148s	feel like that's the norm you know
20149s	what's crazy about this tuskers has
20151s	flown something different every single
20152s	time they have they have a
20156s	wheel got the wheel is the wheel of
20158s	Destiny like usually you don't do that
20161s	you don't spins the wheels like okay
20163s	we're bringing a proteus that's to that
20166s	so we know the last the comp's banned
20169s	out but yeah I mean I mean just CU I
20173s	mean yeah they could just do anything
20175s	and that's the thing though you're right
20176s	they they have they've been different
20178s	comps every match so if you come up
20180s	against them you're kind of
20181s	like what they going to do I have twitch
20184s	chat points out not all tracking
20186s	disruptors crucifier Navy has bonus for
20187s	disruptors always there always one more
20190s	crucifier nav we have twitch yes exactly
20192s	that's L to basan of knowledge um and
20196s	the moment they're basically spamming
20197s	loads
20198s	you just wanted to say that you waiting
20200s	for the opportunity you're sitting there
20201s	like all right I can fit it in somehow
20204s	I'm sure you can oh no C somewhere he
20207s	got his hands in his face um all right
20210s	let's let's save him in the trouble
20211s	let's send it over to the arena for the
20213s	Tusk SCH versus
20216s	barcode hello I am moderator joined by
20219s	Wing sorry wing nut cross sorry he's on
20221s	the desk or was I'm joined by fear Vina
20224s	and I am praying that I am not about to
20226s	be handed a fat L I am watching the most
20228s	mirie brained comp ever with not one but
20232s	two or three potatoes uh I don't think
20235s	he's Irish uh but you wouldn't know um
20239s	this is looks like to be a heavy missile
20243s	comp from barode going up against what
20245s	appears to be a bit of a tinker Dy setup
20248s	uh we assume Tinker uh there are no guns
20250s	on any of these Domin xes which means
20252s	that they will have heavy NES but if
20254s	they choose to do something along the
20255s	lines of the Tinker setup they will have
20258s	uh one remote cap transfer which is the
20261s	maximum allowance for any of these
20263s	ships that said I mean tuskers this is
20266s	such a interesting comp uh you know
20269s	we've seen a lot of drones this
20270s	tournament and a lot of drones this
20272s	tournament uh the attack bar looks
20274s	pretty anemic now but once these Dominic
20276s	drops either centuries or Heavies that
20278s	attack bar is going to get much much
20279s	bigger and barcode HML kite we see if
20282s	this tangu has jams on it but
20284s	unfortunately for them a jamu doesn't do
20286s	a whole lot Against drones uh looking at
20288s	the sub systems those appear to be jams
20292s	for me okay uh I hoping I'm not
20295s	completely washed as a barcode member
20297s	there is good reason that I am not
20298s	flying this match and uh joining you on
20301s	the desk um so critically here um
20304s	tuskers if you're dropping centes right
20306s	you try to kill like the vigil the
20308s	Squall kind of work your way up and then
20310s	once you do that um deal with the the
20313s	singular um scalpel and kind of work
20316s	your way through the core here
20318s	um if you're barcode something you can
20320s	actually do and we've seen done is you
20322s	just kill all the Dominic drones and
20324s	then once they're out of drones there's
20326s	no damage this tusker's bar it's all
20328s	control there's like no damage
20330s	whatsoever on anything I mean uh well
20332s	now you see the attack bar is starting
20333s	to get wider and wider and wider and
20336s	wider and look at all these drones that
20338s	are dropped now I I wonder what happens
20341s	there uh barod now trying to primary
20343s	this ashm getting the bonus Pains of
20345s	this vigil on top uh but they're getting
20348s	Inquisitor reps on top of that Ash for
20349s	the time being barode uh trying to play
20352s	at a distance here some might say spooky
20354s	action at a distance uh for an older
20356s	meme but uh still they're burning around
20359s	these Dominic's to try to get on top of
20361s	the backline of tuskers yeah I really do
20363s	actually like that call so so far we see
20365s	that the orthoses are getting hit with
20366s	some of that Sentry damage and this is
20368s	actually interestingly enough a single
20370s	scalpel comp and uh the isimu is just
20372s	getting pelted by heavy missile damage
20374s	and two inquisitors yes they do rep
20376s	things uh but it turns out that you
20379s	don't hold up against everything and the
20381s	fleet Cyclone is caught what is the
20383s	fleet Cyclone caught by looking at it it
20386s	appears to
20387s	be
20389s	um I'm not entirely sure uh the or the
20393s	Dominic now it was a vexor it was a
20395s	vexer and then well now the uh tangu is
20398s	weed as well Fleet Cyclone trying to get
20400s	some of those reps right now but vak
20401s	kinger already in the half armor trading
20404s	for the vexer that's actually exactly
20406s	what the tuskers want to do you see
20407s	their attack bar the red portion is
20409s	applying absolutely beautifully to The
20411s	Spar code Squad Fleet Cyclone vak
20413s	kellinger now in very low structure
20417s	about to die this Ashu stays alive even
20419s	though the vexer goes down and tusers
20421s	are off to an early lead yeah uh hate to
20424s	see it if you're me so the tank the the
20426s	tangu was caught he did slip that so the
20429s	fleet Cyclone uh trades out for the
20431s	vexor the shim's probably going to drop
20433s	but like that was a uh one-way uh trip
20435s	for that um that composition but ically
20438s	now that barcodes lost that Fleet cycle
20440s	that's actually an appreciable amount of
20441s	their damage it appears now that the
20443s	target is going to be the Inquisitor and
20445s	the Bell Co here is doing absolute work
20447s	right and um The Inquisitor is probably
20451s	going to pop I see an Angry Cloud of
20452s	drones NW that Nighthawk oh no that
20456s	Nighthawk has got Ned off and that is oh
20459s	no that is not what you want to have
20461s	happen if you're a Nighthawk um that's
20463s	getting completely CA dry by The
20465s	Dominics of Mir and V and once the
20468s	Nighthawk drops that's a lot of damage
20471s	like that is a lot of damage it is
20472s	kinetic locked but unfortunately that
20475s	doesn't really matter a whole lot when
20477s	it's and the or of Sid the Kid is also
20479s	getting nuded God I hope tsers is not
20482s	about to send me right down to the lower
20484s	bracket uh Misty get the L please get
20487s	the L please yeah so I'm hoping that
20489s	they can come off this rapid uh heavy um
20492s	you know damage in order to try to break
20494s	the inquisitors because if they don't
20496s	really um going is just falling super
20499s	fast yeah one scalpel to rep it this is
20501s	a one scalpel comp it's not a dual logy
20504s	um one scalpel can actually work against
20505s	it's kind of a Lodi but like you're not
20508s	going to keep up uh against you know
20511s	three domies worth of damage so
20512s	something that we're seeing actually
20513s	from barcode and I want to say this uh
20516s	they are doing this correctly is they're
20518s	actually sicking a lot of their drones
20519s	onto these sentries and trying to get
20521s	rid of tusker's damage at the source uh
20524s	unfortunately for them uh they are being
20526s	tracked very well by these Sentry drones
20529s	right now and it's just not working out
20531s	for them at all I mean this going down
20534s	out as well these NES these NES this
20536s	vexer Davy issue this vexer these
20539s	Dominic is uh just absolutely
20541s	demolishing the Shields and the
20543s	hardeners from this barcode side uh desk
20546s	please I require a big red letter for my
20550s	coaster here yeah uh so they're
20553s	Dominic's right they're one of the
20554s	slowest ships in the game um you would
20556s	think that fleety clone Hawk tangu I
20558s	don't know how you're getting nuded by
20560s	them they don't have that large of a n
20562s	range and yet somehow they're getting
20564s	nuded out losing all their capacitor yes
20566s	they're going to kill The Inquisitor and
20568s	then you try to work through the vexor
20570s	navyus you try to work through the megus
20572s	the pontif effect but that tangu is
20574s	dying and it's got really nothing left
20578s	at this point it is it is all right is
20580s	being H by all right it's all right we
20582s	can I am in the arms of the Angel right
20585s	now as I'm being held I see a member of
20588s	CCP the largest member is approaching
20591s	with a large L and I feel like I'm that
20595s	Nigerian meme where I'm being coffin
20597s	carried down to the lower bracket
20599s	Blackstar 13 he's about to get sent into
20601s	the coffin but Wild Things in this
20603s	orthis is going
20605s	down and the vexer Navy is now the
20607s	target but unfortunately good fights are
20609s	in local um barcode their bar is getting
20614s	much much smaller on defense attack and
20616s	everything else so so I want to ask you
20618s	because when we uh saw these teams war
20621s	on you had a very particular reaction uh
20624s	walk me through uh why the tuskers have
20627s	run away with this match okay
20630s	so barcode um was prepared to fight a
20634s	very different sort of comp um than what
20636s	they're dealing with right now oh
20638s	they're actually trying to boundary uh
20640s	we actually might have a record hold on
20642s	uh uh we might actually might have a
20644s	record for bounding uh 212 can we get a
20646s	check on that from still reic is that
20648s	the record right now uh pasty white
20650s	devil uh so far is also just burning
20653s	around he's about to
20656s	boundary um I have the shape of vanel on
20660s	my forehead uh right now and the
20662s	tuskers sometimes the Drone damage keeps
20666s	running and they're going to go to the
20667s	loser bracket to fight THL barcode this
20670s	is not the end of the road for them uh
20672s	they have one more uh fight in the lower
20674s	bracket tonight against um help me out
20677s	youting they are up against uh Rage Quit
20680s	cancel sub all right well if they lose
20682s	I'm going to rage quit and cancel my sub
20684s	not really you should subscribe to EV on
20686s	line the video game by CCP
20688s	games we'll be right back after this
20715s	the tuskers C with a dominating Victory
20718s	there over barcode see what I did there
20721s	that was
20722s	good up and again tuska's just new comp
20726s	they span the wheel span the wheel round
20728s	it went and then they were like Dominic
20730s	all right it's time for the Triple Dy
20732s	comp you know what's really funny every
20733s	time we've seen three of the same
20734s	battleships they've won yep perhaps the
20737s	Met
20738s	yeah where's mystical M I can't see him
20739s	because he's in there somewhere I assum
20742s	he's nodding appreciatively hiding
20744s	somewhere true who knows triple Navy gon
20748s	yes so triple Dominics that was an
20750s	interesting one um I mean Sly Commander
20753s	take me through what happened in that
20753s	match there I mean the mirror will is is
20757s	giving and clearly they're just going to
20759s	keep going through this tournament and
20760s	just bring different comps in everything
20762s	and to be honest none of us expected
20764s	this no I mean and seeing triple dommies
20766s	is great cuz love Dominic say anyway but
20769s	yeah it just I think they kind of got
20770s	Bamboozled I think Barco they probably
20772s	came up against it and was just like
20773s	what what what we mean I find they comp
20775s	a little bit interesting as well like I
20776s	know the heavy missile tangu is legally
20779s	it is a thing legally yeah like we can't
20783s	we can't exclude it from
20785s	participating I I think just they didn't
20787s	have much damage on barcode I feel like
20789s	it they'll you know like you said free
20791s	battleships are like it's a lot of HP
20795s	and if if they get two of the of the PS
20797s	down for the barcode team they're going
20798s	to struggle to even get through the HP
20800s	even if they get inquisitors down to
20802s	even win the match yeah I don't I don't
20804s	know I don't know I so the tuskers
20807s	team's cool um I
20811s	I tusker team is cool uh I think that
20814s	the uh the barcod comp was weird I think
20816s	they were just like I think they got
20818s	into their own heads like oh God how do
20819s	we beat this um I don't think the U that
20821s	bad I think the one okay I don't like
20824s	Tango I like the tangu I just think
20827s	other things that are better uh in that
20829s	maybe not like a heavy missile launcher
20831s	tingu does like a lot of damage right
20834s	and because of the points inflation I
20835s	think they were trying to like build
20836s	around that the uh the one lodgy frig
20839s	that was a little weird a question yeah
20840s	that was that was my thing was like I
20841s	guess it's like free ehp because like if
20845s	it survives cuz you don't shoot it then
20848s	it gets to just rep things yep and if
20850s	they shoot it then they're not shooting
20851s	at other things yeah so it's kind of
20853s	just like it's designed to die it's
20855s	Expendable you know yeah no I mean
20858s	understand one of your ship have more HP
20860s	that's it yeah no I I I think that um
20862s	they weren't expecting triple tomies
20864s	because nobody wasting Tri you're right
20866s	if you say you were you're lying you're
20868s	right they kind of just their comp was
20870s	just like a Navy Drake a tenu like
20873s	they're just sort of thinking okay what
20875s	what does heavy missiles NE Drake tangu
20878s	let's just get just let's just get them
20879s	all in and then they come up against
20881s	three battleships and they're just
20883s	like yeah okay yeah and then the tuskers
20885s	they just um dropped their draw
20888s	pressed F Boop and then things started
20890s	disappearing so Fs in chat please Fs in
20893s	chat but that was um that match takes us
20896s	to now our finalists of the winners
20899s	bracket are going to be truth honor
20900s	light versus the tuskers co so this is
20903s	now the top three basically all right is
20906s	uh truth on light T SCH and someone else
20908s	who will will'll find out later um but
20910s	these two will play against each other
20912s	in a best of three the winner of course
20914s	advances to the Grand Final uh the loser
20916s	will drop into the elimination bracket
20918s	where they'll play in the losers bracket
20919s	final and potentially look back around
20921s	to the Grand Final again now no one
20923s	wants to do that H it's a It's a Grind
20926s	it's an absolute grind because one team
20928s	gets to sit there and watch the other
20930s	best of three where you go through
20931s	another set of matches you do get more
20933s	ship skins though if that's true well
20935s	yeah I mean if if you don't win
20936s	obviously but like I'm just
20938s	saying there's a potential you make a
20940s	little a little bit extra cuz you know
20942s	clearly the like 808 ships you're
20944s	winning at this point it's like ah but
20945s	like that extra you know 10 ships
20947s	it's worth it guys I mean starle
20949s	Commander you've um I just noticed fckin
20952s	comment starle Commander you've
20954s	experienced this uh you actually losing
20957s	done lots of that yeah yeah we're I'm
20960s	firmly aware of all the VTA losses I'm
20962s	very good at that but uh I was talking
20964s	about 017 where in the winners bracket
20967s	final um Volta defeated truth on a light
20970s	knocked them down yes and then Advanced
20973s	into the Grand Final truth on the light
20975s	uh then went back through the loser
20977s	bracket finals and came back and then
20978s	won yeah I think we lost cuz I played
20980s	yeah that yeah cuz I didn't play the
20981s	first one and I played the the finals
20983s	and then we lost so uh you know but you
20986s	do it's a lot easier obviously you just
20987s	get to watch I was just thinking in that
20989s	match barcode is playing later yes so
20991s	they literally have what 30 minutes 30
20994s	minutes which is the most stressful part
20997s	of I think this the dance tournament
20998s	especially for the best of because you
20999s	literally come out the match bam they
21002s	already Cony you to start doing the
21003s	bands again and you haven't even had
21004s	time to even think think about what
21007s	have your B buck and you just go forward
21010s	I'm interested to see if Mirror Has if
21012s	he can go through this entire tournament
21014s	with just different comps yeah I mean
21017s	some some teams Volta obviously like to
21019s	do this he did it a couple years ago
21020s	just bring the same comp and say he just
21022s	we're going to run this until someone
21023s	fig out to beat it that's basically what
21025s	a rival planed to do with their Flagship
21026s	varer someone beat it um but uh the
21029s	tusker is going for a different strategy
21031s	of just you know spin the wheel see what
21033s	comes up yeah it's like it great perfect
21037s	we want to see right like it's about
21038s	entertaining exactly you know for them
21040s	it's about winning but for everybody
21041s	else you know the other like 7,000 of us
21043s	were just like yeah we want to we just
21045s	want to see things and be like a what
21046s	what the heck is that it's like oh
21048s	tomies yeah tomies tomies tomies three
21051s	dommies three dummies the try comp all
21054s	right uh let's take a oh no look we have
21057s	um we have a graph H can we throw this
21059s	graph up yeah throw this graph up
21060s	dominis par team in Alliance tournament
21062s	20 uh one dmy 100% win rate three
21066s	dommies 100%
21068s	so clearly undefeatable Dominics Dominic
21072s	meta are I think Misty would agree with
21073s	this one too the answer it's always one
21075s	and three it's one and three never bring
21077s	two two is bad two is bad twoing bring
21080s	two always lose yep two means you're not
21082s	fully committing one means that you're
21084s	you know you've got a plan three means
21086s	you're just going for it so you're going
21087s	to win three means you have you know
21089s	what you're doing you've 3D crafted the
21091s	triple dominance setup and you're ready
21092s	to rock and roll two you're like oh
21093s	maybe the dominance works I'm not sure
21095s	though and one you're like yes it's
21097s	moral doy yeah and it worked clearly it
21100s	won it won single Dominics won all right
21101s	let's look at the band for our next
21103s	match of the day uh which is going to be
21105s	platinum sensitivity versus Odin's call
21107s	elimination match this one so this is
21109s	two very experienced teams in the
21111s	elimination bracket is The Clapper for
21112s	the bands broken band
21116s	hello work excellent CL work you didn't
21120s	do the two claps I didn't clap enough
21122s	times B sensitivity banning at the
21123s	Armageddon Armageddon Navy I shoot Misty
21125s	and chambles uh the LOI and the Jack
21127s	doll meanwhile Odin's call Banning out
21129s	the Zoras the orthis the EOS and the
21131s	Tempest Fleet interestingly interesting
21134s	there's no eil bands this one there's
21136s	nothing off the table which is
21138s	surprising every band session we've seen
21140s	has been mostly at least a crucifier or
21143s	something I guess the Loki and the
21144s	orthus could be if you squint a little
21147s	bit like one's a Webby boy and the other
21148s	one is a scramm boy so those are no no
21151s	but this opens up a lot that's saying
21153s	Armageddon is a b is an e War band cuz
21155s	it NES there good that's yeah I mean
21158s	they're stretching it a bit there I
21160s	think know but this opens up a lot
21162s	pretty much everything's open at this
21163s	point I mean his arm big band first uh
21166s	can I show something from Odin's call
21167s	they're quite afraid now of the zarm
21169s	it's the most popular Logistics Cruiser
21171s	uh this time STL Commander what do you
21172s	think of that I mean it makes sense see
21175s	there can be a lot of single Target
21177s	damage so you just want that ramping up
21178s	but it is a gamble so you have to be
21181s	certain that what you're fighting
21182s	against can't just split the damage cuz
21184s	obviously it only can rep on ship and
21186s	obviously if it comes up up against a
21187s	widow which we've seen today it doesn't
21189s	really work very well and I think we'll
21190s	see more widows this tournament I agree
21192s	I think the Widow is going to start
21194s	appearing more often in some of these
21195s	matches we've seen it fielded by a
21196s	couple of the top teams already to a
21198s	great effect um obviously truth on the
21200s	light brought one earlier on uh I think
21201s	it sadly died but they still won the
21202s	match anyway yep but um yeah I mean I I
21206s	forgot to check that kill I'm was an
21207s	interesting Widow no not really actually
21209s	it's I I will say that Widow I looked at
21211s	it and it is exactly what You' expect it
21213s	to be you're like they just don't tank
21215s	yeah they just have no tank yeah no that
21217s	that was not an interesting Widow fit it
21219s	was exactly what you expected it to be
21221s	and you're like yep okay yep that was a
21222s	widow y one thing to mention about the
21224s	match we just saw mhm and what you
21225s	mentioned watching it why didn't they
21227s	just test the dmy tank fit check fit
21229s	check maybe they had no tank mhm I mean
21232s	that that would be a very Tusk thing to
21233s	do we saw earlier on they brought um uh
21236s	eos's with basically no tank and all
21238s	damage mod that's why when they turned
21239s	up with the eos's do you know what
21240s	tuskers they're they're F enjoyers
21243s	they're pressing F on a lot of people
21244s	today with their drone comps and I would
21246s	not be surprised if they were effing
21249s	with no um no tank and just lots of
21252s	drone damage amplifiers again and it's
21253s	something to note for the match coming
21254s	up with that Odin court and platinum
21256s	sensity like it's always kind of worth
21258s	kind of testing the tank because you
21260s	just don't know you could you know
21262s	something that's in the center might
21263s	actually just have no tank and you could
21265s	just go for it straight away yeah
21267s	especially with like a heavy missile
21267s	setup is you have the ability to like
21270s	you're going to volley through an armor
21271s	Dy Shield probably I mean unless it's at
21274s	least a couple of yeah you could you
21276s	could spend the 3 seconds to kind of
21277s	just like okay let's do two three
21279s	volleys into it and then move on like
21281s	right off the bat and be like oh cuz if
21283s	you're an experienced pilot or an
21285s	experienced captain or whatever you
21286s	should know like how hard your weapons
21288s	hit yeah versus resistances like you
21290s	should be able to look at it and be like
21291s	huh so according to my little paper DPS
21293s	it says that I Vol for 3,000 damage I'm
21295s	hitting the DY for 300 okay maybe don't
21298s	use that ammo type don't shoot the Dy
21300s	now if you shoot it for you're like okay
21301s	I know my Vol is for 3,000 oh it's
21303s	hitting for 1,500 it's like oh this guy
21305s	does not have resistance
21307s	he has a damage control and a plate y
21309s	I've seen a lot of times um some some
21311s	some Advanced teams will do things like
21313s	split the launchers and then load one of
21315s	every damage type into each one and then
21317s	they'll have one person do this not
21318s	everyone of course and then they fire
21320s	all four missiles and they look at the
21322s	damage logs and see which one is the
21324s	lowest resistant they'll call for
21325s	reloads you'd have to make sure you're
21326s	kiting for this cuz if you're like
21327s	anything rush you just don't have the
21329s	time yeah right so for kiting I'd say
21331s	yeah you could you could just test it
21333s	see or you can do like weird stuff where
21334s	it's like okay maybe you'll do like five
21336s	launchers and then one off and you know
21337s	just do some stuff but yeah I don't know
21339s	I think that I think there was an
21340s	opportunity there that we could have um
21343s	done some stuff and it didn't happen and
21346s	oh well I mean I I'm curious I want to
21347s	see the Tommy fits but yes who knows I'm
21350s	just watching the the timer for the next
21352s	match so our next match is scheduled for
21353s	a couple minutes away I saw here we go I
21356s	came back the timer just vanished and
21357s	said 15 minutes and I was like something
21359s	has gone catastrophically wrong
21360s	somewhere but it looks like uh they've
21362s	wrangled the the kittens uh this timer
21365s	is going
21366s	we got we're going up and down going
21368s	back in time I mean this is what happens
21370s	though when we get to this point in the
21371s	tournament cuz all these teams have
21373s	played only like 20 minutes ago some of
21375s	them so this is where like people are
21377s	making mistakes people are starting to
21378s	like I'm not ready like and you know
21380s	suddenly like things take a little bit
21381s	longer to get ready it's no longer you
21382s	have an hour and a half to prep for your
21383s	match it's like okay on now go it's hard
21386s	because you can prepare as much as you
21387s	want and get as many comps ready but
21389s	then some bats you might get left field
21391s	band and think oh damn or simply not
21394s	have a ship ready in in G cuz this is
21395s	happening on Tranquility so so you have
21397s	to have wherever you're you're staging
21399s	presumably GAA because you can buy
21400s	things but we saw last week we saw uh
21403s	someone bought all the PES off the
21404s	market uh and then someone needed a p
21407s	effect for their their comp and they
21408s	were flying in like half an hour and
21409s	ended up paying like two billion for a p
21411s	Market PVP Market PVP it really does
21414s	work it does definitely work okay so 90
21417s	seconds until the match is due to start
21418s	it's going to be platinum sensitivity
21420s	it's going to be them going up against
21421s	Odin's call in this best of one
21422s	elimination match let's go to the arena
21428s	good Max welcome to the arena they got
21430s	us a little bit early because the ship's
21431s	still coming in but we have well what
21432s	looks to be another king Slayer comp
21434s	versus something very curious so
21436s	Platinum sensitivity they have brought a
21439s	BAL Gorn based control Gump uh so they
21441s	have a BAL Gorn they have a damnation
21443s	for links a curse and a celestus for
21445s	control that curse if it is fitted with
21449s	missile guidance disruptors will be
21450s	preventing Odin's call from applying
21453s	their damage at really any kind of range
21455s	the celestus likewise preventing range
21458s	application of damage could be there
21460s	also to interfere with the logi frigs
21462s	like we saw in the previous match again
21464s	watch that pawn effects from Odin's call
21466s	it's going to be very important that
21468s	Miller survives in order for Odin's call
21470s	to resist these control effects both
21473s	teams here have brought their Flagship
21476s	we have the flagship born Mark Bridges
21479s	IND
21481s	indestructible put Aster next to that
21483s	now yeah yeah we'll we'll see how
21485s	destructible Mark Bridges belr TR is
21486s	meanwhile Odin's call to sprout once
21489s	again Fielding their Flagship armag Navy
21492s	is all right see how we go with this one
21494s	this going to be a very curious match
21495s	we're seeing uh the BAM moving forward
21498s	to try and start screening so it's Dam
21500s	Nation yeah we see damps going on to the
21502s	Navy Armageddon and the hyena now it
21504s	looks like Odin's call is holding their
21506s	Clips so that damp on the Navy
21507s	Armageddon mostly just going to prevent
21509s	them from bringing their long range NES
21511s	to Bear uh meanwhile The Damp on Martin
21513s	Conrad and the hyena means that Martin
21515s	Conrad can't web something down and
21518s	maybe give Odin's call the opportunity
21519s	to get on top of it it does look like
21520s	Odin's call is moving in which is going
21523s	to be necessary and uh both the paradig
21525s	and toast BR are being webbed by Mark
21527s	Bridges Mark Bridges playing the extra
21528s	large hyena role of the flagship Bal
21531s	Gorn exactly that and you can see he he
21532s	was going in now he's starting to pull
21534s	back the entire team's pulling back the
21535s	damn nation's pulling back they don't
21537s	need to go in they can take their time
21538s	with this one you see they're already
21539s	starting to get a bit of damage on that
21540s	Balon I wonder what from I haven't seen
21542s	exactly what who who fired that clip
21544s	early I mean all of a sudden it looked
21547s	yeah yeah yeah all of a sudden it looks
21548s	like this damnation is actually the
21550s	primary for Odin's call they are firing
21553s	they've got it tackled they've got it
21554s	painted those missile guidance
21556s	disruptors are coming on but uh it looks
21560s	like they are all pretty close to the
21563s	damnation I I I'm going to say damnation
21565s	is one of the tankiest things to try and
21567s	uh shoot they are like notorious for
21570s	being absolute bricks the inqu
21571s	inquisitors on the other side are
21572s	currently being hit T1 logy Bros aren't
21575s	the best in tank of ships yeah T1 logy
21579s	it's often a choice for the the points
21581s	that triple battleship is using up quite
21583s	a bit of points as well as that control
21585s	in the as well as the uh benefits of the
21587s	things in the middle um but a and CA
21590s	she's repping her logy partner blank Ela
21592s	blank is uh
21593s	surviving for a while might go down here
21596s	might not we'll
21597s	see he's holding but he's stting struck
21600s	there we go blap all right well they
21602s	need to make a change now they've lost
21604s	one of their loggies the next one's
21605s	about to go they're going to lose a
21607s	purifier right after that's a good
21608s	amount of damage they need to make a
21610s	move well looks like the three
21612s	battleships have all gotten up on top of
21613s	Mark bridges in the Bal Gorn Mark
21615s	Bridges is webbed is nuded and it looks
21619s	like this might start to be a battleship
21621s	slugfest that said Platinum sensitivity
21623s	they're going for the lowend they've
21624s	taken out one Lodie frig they're going
21626s	for Martin Conrad in the hyena whose
21629s	webs are absolutely crucial to helping
21630s	Odin's call and Target paints are
21632s	absolutely crucial to helping od's call
21634s	apply here we go again with the King
21635s	Slayer trying to King slay one of the
21637s	tankiest things you can engage and you
21639s	can see the damage mock bridge is taking
21641s	he's taking some good chunks but they're
21643s	going to clip out pretty quickly and
21645s	they're not going to get through at this
21646s	point like they need to find something
21647s	honestly well as they're applying that
21650s	damage to Mark Bridges they're also
21651s	spreading their NES around so Mark
21653s	Bridges is getting Ned out that's going
21654s	to prevent him from using his webs from
21656s	using his own NES damnation getting
21658s	nuded out might even shut off the links
21661s	question mark and that Thia and Deacon
21663s	were taking quite a bit of Lo NES but I
21665s	think that was from crazy in the
21666s	Sentinel who's just gone down yep yep
21668s	yep bin is getting down but I'm watching
21671s	this watching this Miss I can't remember
21672s	how many we've seen F yet but I'm I'm
21674s	not hopeful and you see look at that rep
21676s	from the Bal I think the S was actually
21678s	keeping him pretty low so we just saw a
21680s	nice rep cycle yeah FIA and Deacon back
21683s	Ned now those logi Frets they'll be
21685s	trying to boost through it but you can't
21686s	boost through everything uh meanwhile
21689s	Odin's call lowend just getting
21691s	completely obliterated here athel and C
21694s	last logy frig standing and not for long
21697s	she goes down topr still tackled down in
21700s	that Fleet armagan Navy issue and
21702s	platinum sensitivity they're switching
21704s	to the purifier this is a good shot
21706s	those purifiers are able to provide a
21708s	lot of damage against especially these
21710s	large targets yep and I like to say know
21712s	most DPS least tank purifier very much
21714s	fits that if you can kill it kill it
21716s	quick but looking at the Balor he's
21718s	tanking good but I think the missiles
21719s	are coming back in now here they are I
21721s	think that was actually just a Reload
21722s	unless I'm mistakens but here we go
21724s	they're going to try it again
21726s	yeah you can see those NES are still on
21728s	the Bal Gorn some of the control drops
21731s	off but the uh the scram and the target
21732s	paint are still
21735s	there yeah meanwhile that ponax and M
21739s	dangerously low pona effect currently
21741s	helping these uh rapid heavy ships
21743s	resist the% armor they about might be
21746s	about to get him he's he's got back at
21747s	to 20 but they've got a good amount of
21749s	clip to go this is way too close for
21753s	comfort absolutely and it's really
21755s	dangerous here and those links are with
21757s	the pwn effects down that's going to be
21759s	some sustain off the Odin's call team
21760s	that's going to be some of again those
21762s	links that are preventing them from
21763s	getting damped out immediately we can
21764s	see all damps all missile guidance
21766s	computers all that control is piled on
21769s	to this Flagship Navy Armageddon to try
21771s	to prevent toast BR from using his
21774s	presumably quite nice launchers I'm
21776s	going to be honest this looks like bait
21780s	I've been watching his armor it's been
21782s	bouncing from 15 to 25 and it has not
21785s	moved
21786s	I think he's baiting oh that's spicy cuz
21790s	like he's got Lodie backing him up and
21791s	if he needs to he can overheat repper
21793s	and look at that see look at that boom
21794s	up to 40% honestly I'm honestly
21796s	wondering if maybe he was just low on
21797s	cap or maybe something else happened but
21799s	it honestly looked like he was baiting
21800s	for a second there but that is fully
21803s	repped fully safe now he's going to go
21804s	back up to 100% wherever he wants that's
21806s	going to be it there's nothing they can
21808s	really do anymore they've lost their
21809s	application they've lost their support
21810s	wi they've lost their links SE for one I
21813s	think well done to platinum sensitivity
21815s	here we have to see that flagships again
21817s	we've seen them clutch it out uh
21819s	although one thing I just noticed
21820s	watching the stream feed actually is uh
21823s	you might have seen as we were looking
21824s	at that beautiful shot of Mark Bridges
21826s	Bal gorm being surrounded by these
21828s	missile ships uh you might have seen
21830s	this little sort of triangle guy fly in
21832s	and like bounce off of one of the
21833s	missile ships I believe Platinum
21835s	sensitivity is bumping the Odin call
21838s	battleships away from their Flagship and
21841s	these again now that that paon effects
21843s	is down all of this ewar is applying
21845s	fully that's celestus is damping toast
21847s	BR to some really low lock range also I
21851s	just noticed potentially something can
21852s	you check for me does that b one have
21855s	guns I just looked and I didn't see it
21857s	but again this thing is not running 100%
21859s	right now does that Bon even have guns
21862s	fitted uh that's a big negative so this
21865s	is a full NOS noot or smart bombing B
21868s	there is no guns in there's no damage
21870s	it's just there to control and make the
21872s	opponent suffer that is insane I love
21876s	that this cob was already kind of
21877s	lacking in DPS but they just went no no
21879s	no we're just going to commit to the
21880s	control bit and you can see the control
21882s	bar they have committed and the team
21884s	name is
21886s	CH indestructible Mark Bridges
21889s	indeed Mark Bridges once again uh just
21893s	repping and surviving uh two out of two
21897s	teams that have primaried Mark Bridges
21899s	have found themselves going home from
21901s	this Alliance tournament 100% loss rate
21904s	do not engage Mark Bridges
21907s	do not respond to Mark Bridge posting do
21909s	not touch it he's not going to die that
21911s	honestly that's incredible that the fact
21913s	matter a tank you would have them man of
21914s	control that is a honestly scary and
21916s	also incredibly bloody annoying ship
21918s	he's not even killing you he's just
21920s	making your life worse and this is why
21921s	the Bal Gorn was banned as a flagship
21924s	year after year after year this is the
21925s	first year in Alliance tournament in
21927s	quite some time where you've been
21928s	allowed to bring a BAL Gorn and fit it
21930s	out with all sorts of shiny expensive
21932s	and extra effective modules and honestly
21935s	what we're seeing from the
21936s	indestructible Mark Bridges here is
21937s	really showing us why it's not just the
21940s	tank it's not just the webs you know you
21943s	can't really bling the NES anymore but
21946s	you sure can bring bling the smart bombs
21948s	it is a constant mix of all those things
21950s	like the the Bon's great for multiple
21952s	bloody reasons and yeah the fact that
21953s	we've got him back as a flag I mean it's
21956s	a pretty good example why he basically
21958s	controlled the match however he wanted
21959s	he was able to be where he wanted I'm
21961s	I'm putting my bet that he would B
21962s	tanking but I'm happy to I'll be fine to
21964s	be wrong but I'd like to believe that
21966s	some Elite piloting was going on there
21968s	but toast bro and the Armageddon Navy
21970s	which I'm pretty sure was their flag oh
21971s	yeah is about to go pop and I think he's
21974s	actually sitting right next door to loot
21976s	that yep yep you can actually see you
21977s	can see the huge look at look at them
21979s	they're all sitting at zero damn Nation
21980s	sitting there they're all just sitting
21982s	directly on him vex's damnation they're
21984s	all just sitting at zero getting ready
21985s	for the loot and there we go and three
21987s	two one boom I think he's looted already
21991s	yep to me so uh while we're uh while
21995s	we're watching the these last two ships
21997s	go I'll just uh try to maybe Define bait
22000s	tanking real quick for those viewers who
22001s	might not have had this delightful
22003s	experience uh the name sort of implies
22005s	what it is but uh you don't actually
22008s	have to run your self repair at maximum
22011s	efficiency you can you can just hang out
22014s	in like 10% armor and if you go if
22017s	you're really committed to the bit you
22018s	let yourself lose a little bit of armor
22020s	and then you w back up and you lose a
22021s	little bit of armor you keep baiting
22022s	them to bring more and more and if they
22024s	just go a little bit further stay a
22026s	little bit longer they'll get the kill
22027s	definitely and then the moment it's time
22029s	you just click both your rappers and go
22030s	back to full and they're
22032s	like what I I have done that a few times
22035s	in my past nothing makes you feel more
22038s	like a badass in that moment where you
22040s	like you've managed to just balance it
22041s	all a sudden click back to full and you
22043s	can watch their hearts just
22045s	break definitely and it it can provoke
22047s	positioning errors from
22050s	teams Colonel Curts in the uh the fleet
22053s	typhoon posting in uh in local chat a
22055s	message that many Eve online players
22057s	have heard when facing a BAL Gorn namely
22060s	the capacitor is
22064s	empty I I heard it in the voice I heard
22067s	the voice of Aura say that in my head I
22069s	saw it in text and it came out as text
22071s	to speech I
22073s	swear oh man that that's some PTSD level
22075s	stuff no it's brutal but uh well played
22078s	to Odin's call and ending up this
22080s	Alliance tournament run at top six at
22082s	top six that is a very good run they've
22084s	played very well throughout this tour
22085s	tournament they've had many exciting
22087s	matches I look forward to seeing them in
22090s	future Alliance tournaments and wish
22092s	them all the best uh Platinum
22094s	sensitivity meanwhile they are into the
22095s	top four we will be seeing them tomorrow
22097s	and we will get to see how they hold up
22100s	against uh they they will almost
22102s	certainly get their rematch against
22104s	truth honor light and we'll get to see
22106s	how they hold up there
22128s	Platinum sensitivity live to fight
22130s	another day as they take the W over
22132s	Odin's call knocking them out Odin at
22134s	least gets top six they do lose their
22136s	Flagship though H and the kill mail has
22138s	been posted and it is a a spicy meatball
22141s	this one that's the wrong one I clicked
22142s	in the wrong one oh ruined ruined
22147s	listen you're guest on my show do what I
22150s	say all right so we have um bunch of
22152s	esls Rapid Heavies of course 90% Loot
22155s	drop event going on just now in EV
22156s	online so most of them dropped only one
22158s	was sadly taken uh too early for us uh
22161s	in uh in the loot fairies world uh we
22164s	have a very nice goans web two of them
22166s	in fact 42 billions worth of webs there
22169s	uh and a pretty nice cormax modified
22171s	damage control uh at a toasty 34 billion
22174s	total loss on Zed kill
22178s	157 billion isk nice good amount of
22181s	money good amount of money a lot of
22182s	money I mean they've definitely more
22183s	than covered that in terms of like the
22184s	ships that they've won and the skins
22185s	that they've won so uh you know in terms
22187s	of investment it worked out pretty well
22189s	for them it's okay yeah it's good nice
22191s	little top yeah Sly Commander I want to
22192s	talk about that match because uh
22194s	Platinum sensitivity landed and um I got
22197s	out my magnifying glass and then once I
22199s	zoomed in I just about spotted the
22201s	attack bar yeah I know we all standing
22203s	there just like where's the damage and
22204s	then we noticed it was a SM bomb that's
22206s	the main Dage I mean it was a very I
22209s	mean they played it really well though
22210s	to be honest cuz it's a complete control
22212s	comp so like you have to just sort of
22214s	slowly get your damage in and get things
22217s	off the board I
22218s	mean platin Mark Bridges bringing it
22222s	through and we all saw that on the
22223s	stream he is indestructible and I saw it
22226s	come up this this time yeah time this
22228s	time he's back he's so back once again
22230s	so back he got destructed but then he
22232s	was reconstructed yes and and has
22234s	remained indestructible yep how long
22236s	that will go I'm not sure yeah we'll
22238s	find out tomorrow find out tomorrow can
22240s	he remain indestructible uh so what
22243s	really went wrong for Odin's call there
22244s	cuz it looked like on paper it felt like
22246s	they should have done better than they
22248s	did really in that comp I I just think
22249s	they just can get through I think they
22251s	just was struggling to apply any damage
22252s	and they they did try to go for Mark but
22254s	they just it was a bit little too late
22257s	um like Mark slowly coed back they got I
22259s	think they got the bomber down and they
22261s	were sort of ging a lot as well so like
22263s	the damage probably wasn't applying he
22264s	was noting out his as well so like he's
22266s	probably KN out some of the damage
22268s	potentially from the genon maybe but I
22270s	just think they just maybe didn't have
22272s	enough or didn't start early enough on
22274s	him mhm yeah I I don't know if they
22276s	didn't start early enough it might have
22277s	been might have been the wrong call as
22279s	well to go after Mark Bridges right off
22280s	the bat um I understand the logic is
22282s	it's like okay well we have a lot of
22284s	Rapid heavy missile launcher damage
22286s	including you know we have our Flagship
22287s	and Odin has actually successfully nked
22290s	multiple people's flagships by doing
22291s	exactly what they did um I think this
22294s	time they were like ah well we've done
22295s	it you know we did they did it to rival
22297s	uh they did it to you know a couple
22298s	other teams and then this time didn't
22300s	work which was it was very close yeah if
22303s	if the purifier had lived it would have
22306s	worked um so I think that Odin's just
22308s	kind of like they had a little confident
22309s	of like well if it's not broke don't you
22312s	know don't fix it and in this specific
22313s	case was like ooh yeah didn't work
22316s	though um I will say like we looked at
22319s	the comp that uh Platinum sensitivity
22321s	brought and we're like there is not
22322s	enough damage here um but there was a a
22324s	moment when every single ship like all
22326s	those little ships popped damage drones
22329s	and that was when you're like okay you
22330s	know it turns out if you you know yeah
22332s	okay how much damage with drones does a
22334s	vexor do like I don't know 200 250 maybe
22337s	300 depends on your fit but when every
22339s	single ship does it suddenly you have
22341s	enough damage to do it and the amount of
22343s	n pressure that was out like nobody was
22345s	using their modules they were sitting
22347s	there just like listening to that voice
22349s	you know play you sound your capacitor
22351s	is empty and like cool I guess we'll
22354s	just uh we'll just not push our button
22355s	you know it doesn't affect the rapid
22357s	Heavies but I I bet you that that curse
22358s	on Platinum side was just all guidance
22360s	disruptors as well because guess what
22362s	Odin flew the same comp over and over
22364s	again and at some point you have to be
22365s	like yeah you got predicted yeah yeah I
22369s	mean I think honestly it's a great run
22371s	from Odin's call this year um top six is
22374s	is nothing to you know be ashamed about
22376s	and some of my favorite moments from
22378s	Alli 20 have been uh thanks to Odin's
22381s	call that Odin's call versus a rival
22383s	match genuinely one of the best matches
22385s	um of the whole tournament and like one
22387s	of my favorite ones I think of all time
22388s	because you saw like great back and
22390s	forward play you saw really great
22391s	individual piloting you saw good team
22393s	decisions of like bumping away from that
22395s	flag varer and you saw flag varer which
22397s	is just kind of cool uh so excellent run
22399s	from them Platinum sensitivity will be
22402s	back uh they are not done uh there will
22404s	be more they will play um tomorrow in a
22408s	best of three lore bracket final against
22411s	the the winner of our next match which
22414s	will be uh barcode versus to quit cancel
22416s	sub so um
22419s	maybe uh I'm not sure if the bands are
22421s	ready yet I think the teams are slightly
22422s	delayed because these are ones where
22424s	again I mentioned it before it's pretty
22425s	chaotic at this point you've just played
22426s	both teams have now just played in the
22428s	last like half an hour or so and then
22429s	they have to No One plans to lose like
22433s	maybe maybe maybe starf do you plan to
22435s	lose I don't plan to lose yeah no I'm on
22437s	the desk I'm here yeah say he's he's
22440s	learned the secret that we uh some of us
22442s	have known for years is like you know
22443s	what's better than the stress the
22445s	alliance tournament he watching your
22447s	team
22449s	play yeah we it's it's it is different
22453s	but yeah no um
22456s	I Counterpoint hot take if you're a team
22459s	that's good enough to get to this point
22460s	which both of these teams are um barod
22463s	being top four last year uh you know
22465s	Platinum sensitivity this is I think
22468s	slightly farther than they've ever made
22469s	it um Oden's call also was up to that
22471s	point uh my brain is spacing out vas of
22474s	maneuvering
22476s	I second but U my my point is no Rage
22479s	Quit cancel sub Rage Quit cancel sub
22480s	gets a pass okay they've never been at
22483s	this point before that's true but I'm
22485s	just saying like if if you are trying to
22487s	win the alliance tournament at some
22489s	point there is going to be a point where
22490s	you have a match and then 30 minutes
22491s	later you have another match in fact
22492s	that is what tomorrow is going to be is
22494s	every single one of those is going to be
22495s	like match match match so you know
22499s	welcome to just practice Yeah you hey
22500s	you made it now it gets hard yeah that's
22503s	practice like GG go next like get
22505s	everyone together 20 minutes later next
22507s	match yeah okay guys reship let's go
22509s	again yeah hopefully we win this time or
22511s	lose you know depends depends on your
22513s	strategy Str the lose Strat and at this
22515s	point all the teams are super solid I
22518s	think the the performance this year in
22520s	the losers especially today has been
22522s	amazing all the matches have been really
22523s	close like have gone backwards and
22525s	forwards I mean we watched you know THL
22527s	almost losing earlier today to a maial
22530s	sort of rush and then the next match
22532s	just smashing it but like you know
22533s	volta's match is going backwards and
22535s	forwards so mostly backwards mostly
22537s	backwards all right okay yeah didn't
22538s	okay they're doing fine they're okay um
22541s	but the losers bracket still all to play
22543s	for y and some super strong strong teams
22546s	and flap doing fantastic this tournament
22548s	yeah it would be quite cool to see in uh
22549s	in twitch chat if you guys put your
22550s	favorite moments from this tournament as
22552s	well like which matches you really
22553s	enjoyed any particular like Pilots that
22555s	you saw did something super cool um you
22557s	know just put it in there uh CCP arcade
22560s	will go through and message each one of
22562s	you individually with an opinion on your
22563s	on on your opinion um all right um I'm
22566s	told the bands are ready for our next
22567s	match I'm also told it is now a Clapper
22569s	uh so let's have a look at the bands for
22570s	barcode versus rage quck cancel
22573s	sub excellent barcode Banning out the
22576s	Loki the ospry Navy the Armageddon and
22578s	the Armageddon Navy uh R qu cancel sub
22581s	Banning out the zorad the onos the Widow
22583s	and the Riva so the Widow Riva out the
22587s	the trig reps gone Tri reps all gone
22589s	triangles triangles off Tri triangles
22592s	off the table no triangles here sir this
22594s	is either cir or squares no no spoolie
22597s	reppy boys but they could be spoolie DPS
22599s	boys they could be spoolie DPS boys but
22602s	again no ew War bands again no cruy no
22604s	arbitrator so they're going to be on the
22606s	field AR hold on one second did you say
22608s	no e bands when the Widow's been banned
22611s	no the other ones the other ones I mean
22615s	you know the
22616s	widows good save good save
22619s	um did anyone notice no I don't think so
22622s	no I'm expecting seeis forit tracers uh
22625s	mes and stuff I think we're going to see
22626s	those in next match they're super strong
22628s	and relatively cheap I think for teams
22630s	to fly yep awesome I mean I am looking
22632s	forward to this match I think it's going
22633s	to be a good one it's our last match of
22634s	the day um we are down to just a few
22636s	teams left in Alliance tournament 20
22639s	many entered uh some didn't quite make
22641s	it through the feeders uh despite their
22642s	best attempts um and a bunch of them
22644s	have now been defeated but South Le
22647s	Commander do you know what the most
22649s	important thing is which color you are
22652s	let's have a look at who is winning red
22653s	or blue in Alliance tour this is
22656s	extremely important in this mat can we
22659s	have the graph is it Clapper for this
22660s	one as well hello that wasn't very loud
22664s	oh there we go red versus blue in
22665s	Alliance tournament 20 so turns out
22670s	red like yeah why I I don't know why is
22674s	red so strong I I'm not sure but red is
22678s	twice as strong I think figured it out
22679s	hold
22680s	on do you guys see the background it's
22683s	so red it's redish it is red is that is
22685s	the hint all along this is also red this
22687s	is red i' say that's more of an orange
22689s	part but yeah so red winning twice as
22691s	many is uh is blue I mean you think
22694s	statistically it should be closer to
22696s	even right so but top tip yeah team wins
22701s	red yeah yeah you know what's funny
22702s	though is it's like this every year not
22704s	necessarily red but like it's always one
22706s	or the other like we'll have a days
22707s	where it's like you'll see it and
22708s	there'll be like 20 matches and it's 19
22710s	blue wins and one red and you're just
22711s	like huh something something's fishy
22715s	yeah so in terms of what we're looking
22716s	forward to tomorrow let me pull up the
22718s	uh the bracket so we mentioned earlier
22720s	on uh we have our winners bracket final
22722s	is going to be truth on the light versus
22723s	the tuskers big match that's a big match
22726s	s Commander what do you think it's the
22727s	best of three so we're into Conquest
22728s	band at that point it's I think it was
22729s	the expected match I think but you said
22731s	as well like we we kind of expecting
22733s	them two to be like top three so this
22736s	was kind of yeah they were going to all
22737s	the way I think I had them for you know
22739s	the bracket and everything that they're
22740s	going to go the way to the end I reckon
22742s	they could go to losers and then come
22744s	back I think we might see that yeah yeah
22747s	I mean I think that's yeah I think
22749s	you're right I think truth on light are
22750s	really strong crucially still have their
22752s	Flagship um we we have I think almost
22755s	everyone has their Flagship that remains
22756s	at this point which is really important
22759s	um you really don't want to be getting
22760s	into these like best of finals without
22762s	that extra Flagship and if you haven't
22764s	already like Giga pimped it this is the
22766s	time like tonight find someone who will
22768s	actually sell you some of these
22769s	expensive modules stick them all on yeah
22771s	it will be good luck maybe there's some
22773s	salty people who get knocked out uh who
22774s	are willing to you know sell it to try
22776s	and uh try and help but you never know
22779s	you know I have a question which we
22780s	probably don't have the answer for
22781s	quickly mhm what flagships is everyone
22784s	flying because using my probably
22786s	incorrect thing tuskers has a BAL Gorn
22789s	THL B has a BAL Gorn I think barcode
22792s	also has a BAL Gorn let me have a look
22794s	so plant sity has a b a BAL Gorn oh
22798s	cancel a v Vindicator okay so there's
22801s	there's so we have four borns in a
22803s	Vindicator so I predicted I was like ah
22806s	Bal Gorn good yep Balor good y there's a
22809s	reason why the Bal Gorn was not allowed
22810s	to be a flagship for a long time
22812s	personally I actually quite like the the
22813s	flagship diversity this year the balar
22815s	it is strong uh it scales really well
22818s	with those webs uh but we saw a lot of
22819s	people bringing things like there's a
22820s	couple of vindicators in there and those
22822s	Vindicator teams one of them is doing
22823s	really well the other one um was till
22825s	doomsday also did relatively well this
22827s	year so the V Vindicator Flagship um you
22830s	know looking good armagedon Navy iue we
22831s	saw being super popular uh we see a lot
22833s	of them and they also scale pretty well
22835s	uh in terms of like control and the DPS
22837s	that you can get out to those things uh
22838s	lots of teams choosing those evasive
22840s	maneuvering uh and bright side death
22842s	both going for the L Shacks uh and we I
22844s	I really like that evasive maneuvering
22845s	the shack W zarm comp that we saw one of
22847s	my favorite comps that we saw for sure
22849s	yeah I I really liked it I think the
22851s	it's probably I would say yeah it's
22853s	probably one of my favorite if not like
22854s	my favorite one I've seen so far the
22855s	issue with it is that you can you if you
22859s	have to have the Widow and the zarm for
22861s	it you can't just have a widow or just a
22862s	zarm but well we saw them kind of use
22864s	like Reda they didn't bring the Widow
22866s	obviously they brought the L Shack and
22868s	some other stuff and a Reda and that
22870s	worked fairly well for them
22872s	so I I kind of wish that we we' see some
22874s	more comps like that it was fun it was
22875s	interesting I like it when it's not just
22877s	kind of you know the same might
22879s	indicator I I mean The Vindicator the
22881s	flagship Vindicator they might bring it
22883s	out yeah that's going to have that's
22885s	going to have an expensive web not into
22887s	Bal and I'm not like Chan too much
22891s	that's a good point yeah it's
22892s	potentially your last match this is an
22894s	elimination
22896s	match just bring your Flagship yeah but
22898s	what if they they bring their flag they
22900s	know you do that and it's a balarn and
22902s	do you know what vindicators don't like
22903s	B you know what vindicators also
22905s	probably don't like whatever tuskers not
22908s	tuskers whatever Mir Chief brings which
22909s	they could end up having to fight
22910s	anyways whereas in this one it's like
22913s	you know who who cares just just do it
22915s	just do it yeah just do it don't be cars
22916s	you know what yeah in fact you know
22918s	don't be cars just don't be cards look
22919s	at me come into this camera on this
22920s	camera here want to look them in the eye
22923s	don't be cowards yeah exactly you know
22926s	it's nobody picked at ships for their
22928s	flagships because they're scared because
22930s	they're cowards because they're cowards
22931s	yeah but hey you know here's your
22933s	opportunity also they were quite
22935s	expensive super expensive also they were
22937s	like 50
22939s	points I kind of get it yeah all right I
22942s	mean I see that we have uh just over 90
22945s	seconds for this it's our last match of
22947s	the day it's going to be an exciting one
22950s	absolutely for sure I mean barode really
22952s	experienced team they've been doing
22953s	super well Rage Quit again really
22955s	experienced team this is top tier yeah
22957s	top tier I think barcode might I think
22961s	barcode are probably going to be the
22962s	favorites let me see what um what's
22964s	twitch saying what did twitch say other
22966s	than nothing but nice things I can't
22968s	actually see the the oh there it is yeah
22970s	nope that's just telling me about
22971s	rewards oh I'm just going to assume that
22974s	um twitch is saying nice things and
22975s	probably getting it right as always yeah
22976s	good job good job twitch um barcode
22979s	Flagship on grid so there we go we're
22981s	going to see at least one Flagship let's
22983s	head over to the arena and check out the
22984s	FL
22987s	ship hello I am moderator joined by oi
22990s	Aris for the final match of the night
22991s	and what I hope will not be the final L
22994s	for me and barcode of the tournament so
22996s	barcode is in their Flagship B Gorn
22999s	composition supported by a variety of
23001s	major damage ships in that dvac and a
23003s	badden but rage quit canel sub is going
23006s	to run it down mid reminding you that we
23009s	are competing against uh worlds and this
23012s	is our world right now where sers and
23014s	kzel are going to want to get on top of
23016s	that b Gorn and just punch through it so
23018s	Bal Gorn 70 km webs when you overheat it
23021s	bar code's going to have access to the
23022s	Tobias webs and we've seen uh you know
23025s	earlier just what it can do exactly and
23027s	rage qu cancel sub they've warped in at
23029s	zero this is not usually where you put
23030s	your rush but when you're expecting a
23032s	flag Balor it makes a certain amount of
23033s	sense because now they're able to rush
23035s	in one slep near Lily arsten gets webbed
23038s	gets scrammed uh another krail we can
23041s	see again barcode just has to do their
23043s	absolute best to screen out rush and
23045s	that AB badden can't get away in time
23047s	because again all you know 20 it we had
23051s	the battleships at 20 km we had the rage
23053s	quck cancel sub team at uh at zero that
23057s	was uh you can't you just can't lock
23059s	that fast yeah and this is a problem is
23061s	that um if you're barcode right now and
23064s	you are you know in that abat and you're
23066s	going to take an absolute pounding right
23068s	now and it looks like the K reel is
23070s	going to be the initial primary that
23071s	makes a lot of sense to me right so the
23073s	slep they're going to have really good
23074s	resists against that em damage right
23076s	being Tech to minmatar uh but if you're
23078s	able to punch through aisel um the
23080s	abadin might do a little bit to survive
23083s	right now we see that the attack bars
23085s	are actually rather even which is
23086s	telling me that the abat is not taking
23088s	nearly as much damage as we want to it
23089s	looks like there's been a bit of a swap
23091s	to the Deacon of uh pasty white devil
23093s	maybe realizing that the Bal Gorn isn't
23095s	solely going to break and a big reason
23097s	for that is that this uh the SL near of
23099s	Lily aren is webbed about uh 8 km off of
23103s	the Bel Gorn was 12 km just a few
23105s	minutes ago and that means that that
23107s	ewar is effectively preventing Lily
23109s	arsten from actually being able to apply
23111s	DPS but uh it looks like it's going to
23113s	be a trade of Deacon for krael uh mod
23117s	who do you think this favors I'm happy
23119s	to take a krael it's still a battle
23121s	cruiser faction battle cruiser yeah
23123s	you're going to lose a pasty white devil
23124s	but what you're forcing to have happen
23126s	right is a lot of these ships are going
23128s	to have to break away from the
23129s	battleships and critically the Bal Gorn
23131s	to dive the Deacon uh it was a rupture
23133s	that did that right so now that the K
23135s	reel's down you're basically going to
23136s	push through the rupture very quickly
23138s	it's only a tech one um you know uh
23142s	Cruiser the burst in the Bantam they're
23143s	getting nuded but now critically also
23146s	the crucifier is not going to have any
23147s	reps so that's been or sorry it's going
23150s	to be doing you know its level best to
23152s	try to mitigate the sleer damage and if
23154s	the crucifier goes down that's going to
23155s	be a lot but again really good scram so
23158s	far on the K Ro the broadsword the sers
23160s	just kind of keeping things apart from
23161s	each other exactly and that's what you
23163s	need to do with this Rush team we can
23164s	see that that uh all of those folks are
23167s	tackled that means that they're not able
23168s	to switch targets very easily so it
23170s	looks like in fact they're all going
23172s	back on vorak in the abden they've been
23174s	scrammed so let's just shoot what we're
23176s	close to yeah and so far the burst has
23178s	been getting absolutely picked apart by
23180s	the Drone Cloud it's not even really
23181s	anything committing to that it's just
23183s	we're going to throw all of the drones
23185s	at you and then they're going to do the
23186s	same to the bantom right they're going
23188s	to do the same they're with they're
23189s	holding down a MOA and then separately
23191s	you know you kill the bantom with the
23193s	drones then you work through the krael
23195s	you get the Moa again these sers you
23197s	really want to keep them apart the
23199s	abadin yeah he's probably going to go
23201s	down but really critically right now
23203s	look at the defense bar yes barcod is
23205s	going down but rage quits going down
23207s	faster exactly Rage Quit they're down
23209s	their Logistics that means that neither
23211s	side has the ability to rep things and
23213s	with that a Baden down again it's a big
23215s	loss uh but this Bal Gorn still has guns
23218s	on it and what that means is that the
23219s	Bal Gorn can still apply damage along
23221s	with its buddy the draak and these
23223s	drones to the side of the rage with
23225s	cancel sub team and Damascus cadesh and
23227s	the krael low structure going down
23229s	that's going to leave three sers one
23232s	broadsword one MOA for the most part
23234s	versus the barcode side this is a
23236s	situation where a flag Bal Gorn this
23238s	flag B Gorn might be able to solo maybe
23240s	so direct vac you really want to get rid
23242s	of that spoolie boy damage out because
23244s	again um direct vac is going to be doing
23247s	primarily thermal damage and primarily
23249s	explosive if you're a sleer you don't
23250s	want to deal with explosive damage right
23253s	so barcode they're wanting to break
23254s	through the Moa it doesn't do a ton of
23256s	damage but when you look at like how
23257s	much damage it does compared to the HP
23260s	it has it makes sense right and now that
23261s	that Abad and and director down bar
23263s	code's attack bar has actually dropped
23265s	off a lot but that MO is likely to go
23267s	down here leaving only really the Raptor
23270s	and then those t two resist um boats
23273s	yeah honestly this uh this could go
23274s	either way right now so the crucifier is
23276s	still up the crucifier is still doing
23277s	some effective uh mitigation with the uh
23280s	the tracking disruptors we still see the
23282s	damps coming in from the mollus uh but
23285s	ha in the Bal Gorn is tackled is not
23287s	moving scrammed and webbed speed 53 and
23291s	most of the rage quit team is able to
23293s	apply damage Lily Aron the slep furthest
23295s	away at 8.4 km and closing it doesn't
23299s	matter if you're scrammed if you can
23301s	still just gently boat your way close to
23303s	your target yeah but even uh that amount
23306s	of damage that or range that the sner is
23308s	away if I'm vexor of Sid the Kid I
23310s	actually want to like try to bump as
23312s	dumb as it sounds the sers away because
23314s	when you're you know tded by a crucifier
23318s	you might actually not have any range
23319s	even with uh you know barrage or hail
23322s	and that's why we see you know all of
23323s	the eward going onto Lily whereas the
23326s	bug is already on that Bal Gorn at zero
23328s	it's going to apply damage no matter
23329s	what so barcode yeah they don't have a
23332s	ton of damage right now they're just
23333s	trying to push through the Moa and
23334s	they're going to kill the Moa uh right
23336s	now uh Rage Quit is up on points if I am
23339s	barcode I'm not liking the fact though
23341s	that my pontif effect a verbus has been
23343s	caught um
23345s	that P effect needed to stay kind of
23348s	away I understand why you're getting
23349s	close but that's a lengths down that's
23351s	incredibly important right now um if
23354s	that's gone um you're going to be in a
23357s	world of hurt and right now what we're
23358s	seeing vorak uh is down with that it's
23361s	huy K is putting nudes onto the Raptor
23364s	and we saw some of the Broad Sword
23365s	you're trying to turn off those
23366s	hardeners the Raptor's been actually the
23367s	Raptor just took out the crucifier the
23369s	Raptor sort of like went off on his own
23371s	and was like I'm just going to PVP this
23372s	thing and free up Lily Aron or at least
23376s	help free up Lily arston in order to get
23378s	more damage on that Bal Gorn right now
23380s	rage quck cancel sub their head on the
23382s	points and as mod mentioned the slepnir
23386s	and the broadword are going to be more
23388s	resistant to that Bal Gorn DPS the Bal
23390s	Gorn it's mostly lasers with a little
23391s	bit of guns and that means we've got
23394s	yeah uh said the kid here taking a ton
23396s	of damage and if I'm that vexer I don't
23398s	know why I'm so close like the sers are
23400s	all going to be sitting on the Bal Gorn
23401s	for the rest of the match if you're the
23402s	vexer just run the heck away oh my God
23404s	maybe he was trying to bump maybe he was
23406s	trying to do the bumps yeah the bump
23407s	Tech and now he's in like a if you can
23409s	look at that that amount of ho
23410s	percentage it's like 2% right now yeah
23414s	and let's just see is that Raptor yeah
23415s	so Lucius van CLE is free nowhere near
23418s	the vexer right now but it looks like uh
23419s	Lucius van Clee coming on a mission he
23422s	running down he's on an honorable solo
23425s	PVP mission right now however the Bal
23427s	Gorn of uh huie con is trying to
23430s	continue to push through uh debug I mean
23432s	the debug were counting kind of the ASB
23433s	charges he's used a good amount of them
23436s	the Bal Gorn should eventually be able
23437s	to break debug really that's going to be
23440s	the effect of those uh NES and uh that
23442s	NOS really just shutting off the
23443s	hardeners I mean the Balor we don't see
23445s	any ewar there's no NOS or anything on
23447s	that sleer to keep you know any sort of
23450s	um invol or multispectrum hardening on
23453s	indeed indeed so it's uh s two slep and
23456s	a broadword versus one Balor and I'm not
23458s	handing mod the L because honestly this
23460s	is anyone's game right now Rage Quit
23463s	cancel sub they're ahead on the points
23465s	they're a little bit they're in a little
23467s	bit of a of hot water here once that Bel
23469s	Gorn debug is holding on for raptor is
23473s	chasing after the mollus and critically
23475s	right now the match is at a bit of a uh
23479s	situation where if debug goes down and
23481s	this mullus gets solo pvpd by the Raptor
23484s	it would be a tie on points so that
23486s	would take us to sudden death so Alis
23489s	hkat needs to be playing his absolute
23491s	life right now continuing to apply
23493s	tracking disruption just allowing Qi
23495s	cont to continue to live to win however
23497s	debug is in uh you know Shield or sorry
23500s	armor rather as a BAL Gorn continues to
23503s	drop lower and lower but if it's one
23504s	sleer versus a BAL Gorn I don't know if
23507s	the Bal Gorn is killable it's really
23510s	tough and so the mollus goes down the
23512s	mollus is uh in danger of of getting oh
23514s	no and the bug continues to oh he's
23516s	getting an ASB he's got his ASB back so
23519s	I think that the Bal Gorn might not have
23521s	been able to break it um you know you
23524s	might be wait not until the B Gorn drops
23527s	but you might be able to hand me that or
23529s	that might be one of the last charges of
23530s	the slepnir if the bug drops and Lily
23533s	does not uh survive
23536s	first um I'm looking at the born and you
23540s	can Crown me yeah that's the Bal Gorn of
23543s	huy K down that will be Rage Quit cancel
23545s	sub beating barcode
23548s	unfortunately um in this situation
23550s	barcode um they brought their
23553s	composition in at 20 km really trying to
23556s	expect like a kite comp and wanting
23557s	initial tackle but that's kind of the
23559s	the risk right is that if you get rushed
23561s	down and you get caught your Bal Gorn is
23564s	going to be sat on top of and you're not
23565s	going to be able to split people apart
23567s	Rage Quit cancel sub for the first time
23570s	ever is going to make top four barcode
23573s	you know they made uh third place last
23574s	year they will not make top six this
23576s	year and that means that barcode is
23579s	going to go out they will get a total of
23582s	I believe eight of the frig eight of the
23585s	cruiser and four of that uh python yeah
23588s	and uh as this match wraps up uh I just
23590s	want to give a shout out to Lucius vanle
23592s	bringing solo back in this match and uh
23596s	really taking care of a couple of those
23597s	key targets and with that the last
23600s	barcode ship has fallen barcode has
23602s	fallen we'll send it back to the desk
23604s	and we'll see you all tomorrow for the
23606s	top four
23637s	and there you have it we have our top
