29s	welcome back to Alliance tournament 18
31s	IM CCP overload and I am joined on the
33s	desk by mystical Knight and Blackboard
35s	pirate we have a whole bunch of matches
37s	for you today explosions guaranteed I'm
39s	sure there's plenty of explosion
40s	enjoyers and chat today uh we started uh
43s	we start today with 18 teams remaining
45s	uh 14 of them will be eliminated today
48s	uh two of them still waiting to try and
50s	get prize ships because price ships go
51s	all the way to 16th place and we have 18
54s	teams remaining so there's some teams
56s	going to go home very disappointed today
58s	um and I looked at the matches earlier
60s	on today from the upper bracket the
61s	winners bracket and there's some
62s	absolutely hashtag POG matches coming up
65s	in that Winners bracket Mr combat
67s	anything you're looking forward to
68s	seeing today I'm looking forward to
70s	platinum sensitivity winning the upper
72s	bracket match today against we from
74s	Walter I believe I'm also really
76s	interested to see how the brave match
77s	goes because I think fear has been
80s	selling themselves short I think they
81s	could really make an actually deeper on
83s	here so uh let's see what they do I I
85s	actually agree with you um I think
87s	that's a super interesting match as well
88s	fear the one of the core captains spent
91s	a long time telling everyone how bad
92s	Brave was and brave have been very very
94s	solid so we're certainly looking forward
96s	to seeing them uh we have truth on our
98s	light going up against the tuskers call
99s	oh yeah that should be a very exciting
101s	match
102s	um I think truth on the light obviously
103s	that's Hydra reloaded from last year the
104s	current defending Champions the tusker
106s	is also a championship team at one point
108s	in their history
109s	they're a good team this year they have
111s	been performing really really well so
112s	they could give truth orally a solid run
114s	for their money like they can't
115s	underestimate them Bart what do you
117s	think might happen in that match oh in
119s	that match well you know
121s	I think we actually talked about it a
122s	little bit before this because we were
124s	sort of uh hyping ourselves up and
125s	getting ready for it but uh I think that
127s	this is one that tuskers definitely
129s	could take if they're able to not out
131s	meta themselves which we've seen in the
133s	past before
134s	um
135s	it was a very interesting match when
137s	they did it last time so I'm very
138s	excited for that one I'm also very
140s	excited for platinum sensitivity because
141s	uh if I if they get knocked down I get
144s	an L next to my name on the Eve Discord
145s	and I will be very sad
147s	yeah the um the tuskers call a solid
150s	execution team really really really
152s	fantastic at running comps especially
153s	mirror matchups I'd love to see them in
155s	the mirror match up against truth on a
156s	light I think they could really push it
158s	and but last year we watched them uh
160s	outmeter themselves as you say get a
162s	little bit too deep into their own head
163s	and bring essentially the wrong comp
164s	mystical mate you have a comment I'm
166s	just gonna say I know you want it to be
167s	really exciting but I hope it's not too
169s	exciting for my heart's sake thank you
171s	okay I'll pass that on to the script
174s	writers yeah if we could get that just
175s	commented let me just make sure that
177s	it's a nice and easy win for tuskers
178s	please thank you that's perfect yeah
180s	let's look at our first match of the day
182s	it's coming up in only five minutes and
184s	it's going to be no farts given versus
185s	boundary experts
187s	um let's see what they've chosen to ban
188s	so no Forks given Banning out the EOS
190s	the slept near and the balgorn uh
193s	boundary experts Banning out balgorn as
194s	well uh curse and arbitrator the trickle
197s	Bands then being the Nighthawk for
199s	norfolks given and Boundary experts
201s	Banning The Sentinel mystical might
203s	curse arbitrator in balgar and lots of
205s	them are stuffing band there hell curse
207s	arbitrator and Sentinel as well yes
209s	being a really interesting set of bands
211s	it looks like they really want to remove
212s	disruption it seems like it's less about
214s	the newts themselves although the
216s	balgorn was a suggest that perhaps they
218s	don't like newt but it seems like they
220s	really are looking to project their
221s	damage this time around and uh they've
224s	basically removed everything they're
225s	still the crucifier in the pool so there
227s	is still the option for no folks given
228s	to bring the crucifier but they're very
231s	limited in their options now yeah Bart
234s	um that Nighthawk and the slept near
235s	band taking out a bunch of bonus link
237s	ships what do you think of that sing I
239s	think that uh this entire tournament
240s	we've been seeing this like massive
242s	Resurgence of the kaldari ham rush and
245s	sapners are also very very good in that
248s	so even if you ban the Night Hawk out
249s	you can bring a slapner both are
251s	extremely high DPS ships very versatile
253s	both of them can actually be flown
254s	either as a kiting setup or a rush setup
257s	so I think it's like a it's just a good
259s	like we don't want to see this and it
261s	kind of hurts the shield setups by a
262s	significant amount so pretty smart bands
264s	I still question the balgorn band I will
266s	always question about going been but
268s	that's okay maybe they all know
271s	something I don't I mean the
272s	Battleground is obviously a fantastic
273s	ship long range webs even though they
275s	can't use them as flagships so they're
277s	only Tech Two fitted they're still
278s	pretty long range they don't get a newt
280s	range bonus but they get a new amount
282s	bonus so if one of them gets on top of
283s	you it can really just let you know
284s	until you have to go home yes yes quiet
291s	mystical my bow guard is do you think
293s	it's worth batting even though you can't
294s	bring it to Flagship I
297s	I've we've only seen a few teams really
299s	rely on the balgorn I think this
300s	tournament and I don't know how well the
302s	battle necessarily does when you're
304s	going up against so many different types
306s	of Rush comps there's so many high
308s	damage setups that want to sit on top of
310s	you and most of them don't really have
312s	cap using weapons so even if they're
314s	fully neutered out it's maybe their tank
316s	that may go off but even then some of
318s	the modules cycle for a really long time
320s	so it's really easy to try and get that
321s	back online because we have to remember
323s	that the Bal gun is using heavy newts
325s	which have a 20 24 second cycle time and
328s	you don't need that much capacitor to
329s	run an invol so I don't know I don't
332s	think it's necessarily something that
332s	needs to be banned all that much
334s	it does pair well with the Vindicator
336s	though which we know some teams do have
338s	their Vindicator flagships and you can't
340s	really ban Out The Vindicator in those
341s	cases so removing the balcony does
343s	weaken what you can bring with The
345s	Vindicator yeah and if you want to bring
346s	a Vindicator then the Battleground
348s	probably one of the worst things you
349s	could see because it can effectively
350s	shut that Vindicator down we've seen it
352s	all right a couple of times teams
353s	bringing vindicators and just getting
355s	muted zero and just sat useless a big 23
358s	Point hole in the team doing nothing so
361s	this first match we have no flex given
363s	they are one and one so far in the
366s	tournament dropping a match to lock
367s	range enjoyers and winning against cast
369s	abouts these are elimination matches so
371s	that means that these teams are fighting
373s	to remain in the tournament if they lose
375s	they go home this basically sets up the
377s	final 16 so if you win this match you
380s	become a prize ship enjoyer you get to
382s	go home with at least some price ships
383s	which is definitely better than going
384s	home with no price ships Bart I I am
388s	looking for a prediction from you in one
389s	word looking for a prediction for me in
391s	one word
392s	you may use multiple words if the team
394s	names okay good I was like uh this is
396s	gonna be tough so I'm gonna say no Forks
398s	given okay I'm mystical Knight
400s	no folks given interesting so I'm gonna
403s	have to balance this out and go for
404s	boundary experts but let us go to the
407s	arena and find out right now
413s	all right welcome to the arena
415s	just start off the day with a double the
417s	shot comp asses what looks like a
418s	galante drone Rush kind of thing like
421s	what do you think about this one swift
422s	this looks interesting uh yeah uh I
425s	think the uh the Double lash X now we
427s	see why they banned out the balgorn
430s	um unsure why uh no Forks giving men at
432s	the balgorn too maybe they just hate
433s	balgorns uh they're gonna be kiting
435s	around uh like maniacs in their drones
437s	so it's gonna be really really close for
440s	this uh boundary experts team they're
442s	gonna have to grab something quick and
444s	lock it down
445s	uh
450s	yeah it's kind of as you can see the the
452s	old king of DPS versus the new king of
454s	DPS in terms of dummy Navy versus Le
456s	Shack so I'm kind of amused to see
458s	what's gonna happen there I feel like
458s	dummy Navy is going to have a really bad
460s	time with Twila Shacks on his face but
461s	he does have it on yours backing him up
463s	as does the shack so if to see where
465s	this match goes
466s	yeah the no Forks giving team uh you'll
468s	see them in red they warped in all in a
470s	ball at 50 kilometers from the arena
472s	center uh no boundary experts they
475s	worked in between 30 and 50. uh at quite
478s	a quite an obtuse angle so they're it's
480s	probably about 90 kilometers between uh
483s	their backlines respectively
485s	the only thing I'm going to be finding
486s	very curious about this match is the
488s	extra support of control that boundary
489s	excerpts were brought because they
491s	brought quite a blood of a small size
493s	support uh control ships but no Forks
495s	does have ships that can go kill them so
497s	we'll just see how long those ships last
499s	as the match is now underway yeah
500s	crucially no Jack thoughts in this match
502s	uh so there's mollus and and Griffin and
505s	Kitsune uh they're gonna have to try and
507s	do something here it's tough because
508s	they're up against the Drone boats drone
510s	boats don't really care about being
512s	damped or anything they can just assign
513s	their drones to the trigger and we see
516s	this exact Navy leading the charge uh
520s	rushing right in to the no foreign
527s	is the first primer at the moment
529s	getting beaten down
531s	and yeah I'm trying to figure out what's
533s	shooting him probably little Shacks I
534s	guess uh Clive is is definitely taking
536s	some damage here uh ekan in the exec
539s	Navy he has gotten uh really really
540s	close he's right up in the no Fork seven
542s	team uh taking quite a bit of damage
545s	here and now it looks like he's scrammed
546s	as well uh so no Forks given team is
548s	gonna have to charge it or rather
550s	battery experts they're gonna have to
551s	charge in Gonna Save their boy over here
554s	but likewise the Dominic's Navy of uh
557s	konkel has now been held down which
558s	means that both the Shacks will get on
559s	top of him and start applying that
561s	ramping DPS so now at this point I
563s	believe uh no Forks are kind of on a
564s	time limit here they got to make some
566s	damage quick before their dummy Navy
568s	goes down and a big chunk of their DPS
569s	gets removed
571s	exactly and this is not this will not be
573s	a good trade if they traded Domino Navy
575s	uh for an exec Navy here uh that exec
577s	Navy still holding on for remarkably
579s	good time uh recently bonus in Uprising
581s	uh so we can be a little bit more
583s	tankier
584s	and interesting as well is that little
585s	Shacks of Avery Lewis has a small bomb
587s	fitted and he's right next to his
588s	friendly exec Navy so he's gonna start
589s	smart bombing off these DPS drones and
592s	even the lodgy drones on the nearby Le
593s	Shack because uh Dominic's Navy
596s	so he's going to remove a lot of the
598s	both the DPS and the tank ability of
601s	this no folks given domics Navy oh it's
603s	ripping up that damaged Army Navy is in
606s	a half armor here exactly also in a half
608s	armor uh no for example they're swapping
610s	over to uh Captain James Sparrow uh
613s	maybe trying to do a chunk of damage
615s	while they still have their Navy Domi
617s	alive uh but it's not gonna be enough
618s	this dummy Navy is going down
621s	and that is the power of Tula Shacks
623s	like there's just so much DPS on very
625s	tanky platforms surprisingly the exit
627s	Navy is still alive I honestly thought
628s	they would be able to break the room but
630s	it's she he's just holding very
631s	comfortably the pump fix just gets nuked
633s	The Alchemist date goes down losing the
635s	armor links but uh I think boundary
637s	experts don't care too much uh they just
639s	trade for a Navy dummy that's a huge
642s	chunk of DPS down and as you mentioned
644s	Avery Lewis does have Smart bombs
646s	running uh so these drones are gonna
648s	have like as this game goes longer and
650s	longer
651s	these drones are going to go away
654s	they're going to lose a lot of their DPS
655s	today because this is our drone comp so
657s	losing their drones is just not a fun
658s	experience just traffic with the Shacks
660s	going for next I think they're going for
661s	the murmidon next which is definitely a
663s	very fair cool next biggest thing
664s	uh yoyas in the boundary experts uh his
667s	owneris is tackled uh he did battleball
669s	in with the rest of his no boundary or
671s	boundary experts team and uh you know he
674s	doesn't mind too much there are some rep
676s	Bots around him that no Forks given will
678s	have to deal with
679s	um but this actually could be a pretty
681s	decent way for them to come back in if
683s	yoyaz does go down
685s	very much they definitely have to kill
687s	him to try and make this match swing the
688s	other way because at the moment no Forks
690s	are kind of on the back foot right now
692s	and they just can't I don't think
693s	they're going to be able to break
693s	through the onions to be honest he's
695s	holding well enough I think the momentum
696s	will go down first
698s	yeah it's so tricky because you see so
700s	many uh of these armor rep Bots you're
702s	like oh maybe I can go through it uh but
704s	once the reactive kicks in on the oneros
706s	Assuming he's got a reactive fit uh he
708s	can tank so much better and yeah it
709s	looks like they are uh potentially
711s	moving off of yoyas right now well
713s	that's because yo-yo has managed to
714s	break free
716s	so not only can they not break through
718s	the tank they also can't hold on to the
720s	guy as you said yes last week this is
722s	the power of the uh dual proper nearest
724s	we had a pretty much self-escape with a
726s	little bit of help
727s	yeah yeah it's breaking free still
729s	getting uh Bots uh reparts uh from the
733s	uh lashacks so he's doing just fine and
736s	we see boundary experts just making
737s	quick work uh of anything else that they
739s	can catch here it does look like they've
741s	now uh caught up to you and caught Rogue
744s	clone uh in the no Forks given on arrows
747s	this will be uh definitely a great
749s	primary for them to go through
750s	uh we'll see if it pays off or we'll see
753s	as as soon as they catch up
755s	you gotta get the checks over there
757s	first but it's been great to watch these
758s	exact navies from both sides kind of
760s	running around being very aggressive
762s	tanky fighting platforms you see a
764s	kitsuno just getting nuked but these are
766s	just I'd be great to see these ships
767s	becoming honestly very interesting picks
769s	in this uh tournament
771s	uh dice verpio on the norfolks given
773s	team uh he is dying right now in an
775s	ishkar but he's doing a great job right
777s	now he is pinning down uh one of the
780s	leshacks trying to keep them separated a
782s	little bit uh you know when you come up
784s	with a comp like this you have to
786s	execute perfectly uh so daiserpio doing
789s	a really really good job uh admirable
791s	piloting on that side
793s	definitely the power of a single assault
795s	frigate can just tackle and hold down
796s	one big ship and looks like at the
798s	moment no one's even trying to really
799s	shoot him they're just kind of leaving
800s	him there now I said they're actually
801s	priming the vexer instead and that's
803s	obviously a very good cool it's much
805s	easier to hit and much less tanky
807s	you can see boundary experts exerting
809s	almost all of their control bar right
811s	now uh that's damn uh that's newts uh
815s	that's jams from the Griffin now that
817s	the katsune is dead
821s	a lot of control in this comp and
823s	they've been able to like wield that
824s	throughout the entire match it's been
826s	honestly just I must honestly surprised
828s	the Griffin and the moles have survived
829s	as long as they have when there's an
830s	issue in the grid that could easily go
831s	kill them
835s	yeah you can say that
837s	the exact Navy issue uh is the one
839s	that's tackling the oneros right now
842s	um you know the fact that he's still
844s	alive he's just a testament to uh how
846s	this boundary expert team played they
848s	knew exactly what they were getting into
849s	uh all around in the beginning of the
852s	match usually the first one that charges
853s	in is at a disadvantage but boundary
855s	experts were confident they knew what
857s	this matchup would do and they just
859s	rushed in and applied all of their DPS
863s	yeah I'm honestly uh happy to see a twin
865s	lashac comp win I always tend to find
867s	they're a bit Lackey on the support Wing
868s	but this one has brought a lot of some
869s	good support ships as well as a really
871s	strong logic to back it up so this is
873s	all looks like a potentially very strong
874s	little shot comp but hopefully we'll see
876s	a few more of it
877s	yeah and as you can see it's so powerful
880s	um they're just able to get uh spot jams
883s	on the no for example no neros and then
885s	just clear off uh the small ships during
887s	that one Jam cycle uh so the UI as you
891s	see
891s	um on your screen it will show an
893s	attempt of a gem but not a successful
895s	gem we don't know if it's successful or
897s	not we just have to kind of glean that
898s	based on what's Happening uh but based
901s	on how fast how fast some of these ships
902s	died I have a feeling that onerous was
904s	jammed for a huge chunk of this match
907s	that's the the economy Griffin picked
909s	doing a lot of work as well as the
910s	Kitsune as well
911s	it's again we've seen this up from a lot
914s	of teams even like Brave is most well
915s	known for having that single Griff and
916s	just managed to win them the entire
918s	match uh I think it was a great last A.T
919s	indeed that Pilot's name is jinx to care
922s	is now the new leader of Brave uh you
924s	know they just find the best Griffin
926s	Pilots they can uh and just put them in
928s	charge of the alliance
929s	carry the entire team when you're back
931s	once guess what mate you can do it again
934s	where's the sister hiding a good
936s	distance away
937s	all right cred knows does have a
939s	relationship with the boundary experts
940s	team uh they were
942s	um you know all previously on well some
944s	of them were all previously on uh PL
946s	teams some gold medal winning teams uh
949s	so you know just a little bit of respect
951s	going on here letting their boy die last
953s	or just making him watch until the very
955s	end and it's super disrespectful who
957s	knows but I'm gonna say that they're
958s	very genuinely like on this one
961s	yes gentlemanly and Eve that is
963s	definitely a thing I expect to happen
965s	yes quite uh boundary experts with this
969s	win over no Forks given will actually
971s	now be prize ship enjoyers they are
974s	guaranteed uh Alliance tournament
976s	probably ships uh so they're gonna be
977s	really really happy with this one uh no
980s	Forks given unfortunately they're one of
982s	the last teams eliminated before the
983s	priership round uh but we'll send it
985s	back to the boys in the booth to analyze
987s	everything that you just saw
1011s	spark could be anywhere
1013s	[Music]
1039s	[Music]
1045s	did it
1049s	[Music]
1055s	welcome back as boundary experts take
1057s	that victory over no thoughts given and
1059s	kick them out of the tournament boundary
1061s	experts as CCP Swift says are now prize
1063s	chip enjoyers they have confirmed
1065s	themselves into the top 16 of the
1067s	tournament uh eliminating no Forks given
1069s	in a pretty solid match we saw at the
1071s	start of that match mystical night and
1073s	the executor Navy of the boundary
1075s	experts team we were all thinking he's
1077s	way overextended that he was quite
1079s	separate from his Logistics uh the rest
1081s	of his team he was just getting dunked
1083s	upon by a bunch of drones uh we'll have
1084s	what is overextending and like kind of
1086s	what happened there yeah so
1087s	overextending refers to the positioning
1090s	of your ships versus the enemy ships
1092s	fantastic
1093s	um overextending would be putting
1095s	yourself out of the rep range really of
1097s	your Logistics ships and you're not able
1099s	to get support when you overextend
1100s	because the rest of your team is
1102s	probably going to be over here somewhere
1103s	in a nice little Cloud the enemy team
1106s	will be down here and this will be you
1109s	um so that will be the overextending uh
1111s	the reason we thought the uh the Navy X
1113s	I could overextended was because he was
1115s	in the middle of the enemy team tackling
1117s	down I believe the Navy Dominics
1119s	um we thought that he would die a lot
1120s	faster than he did but it seemed that
1122s	that was actually part of the plan was
1124s	just to get in there get that Navy
1125s	Dominic snailed down and then make sure
1127s	that the two of the shots could get on
1128s	top of it
1129s	um and one thing that we didn't really
1130s	consider when we were talking about it
1131s	is that one of the recent changes is to
1133s	the mass
1135s	um
1136s	on Navy XX which means that they are
1138s	super quick and they can also be very
1140s	tanky as well so yeah I think a really
1143s	good use of the Navy exact as a taco
1145s	boat though yeah that had the effect of
1147s	almost pulling in the universe for the
1149s	Brandy expert we were watching that ship
1151s	fly in Bart and we were like oh no don't
1153s	get too close don't get too close and
1154s	then he got webbed and then I think
1156s	someone said GG that said but then he
1158s	just kept holding on they took down that
1160s	Navy Dominics which was a solid trade
1162s	flame at that point and they also
1163s	managed to kill that EOS before they
1165s	lost their uh oniros so they've taken
1167s	off a lot of DPS from the field a lot of
1168s	logistics and they still have those two
1169s	Shacks so is there anything else that
1172s	the norfolks given team could have done
1173s	in that situation not really
1176s	um honestly like they probably could
1177s	have done some swapping a lot faster I
1179s	do think that like they got baited into
1182s	going after the Navy executor because it
1184s	did Ramen and it looked out of range but
1186s	uh we did see like just how powerful a
1188s	Tech 2 Logistics is there versus like
1190s	logy frigates because the logistics
1192s	freaking soda had to get right in there
1193s	as fast they could so if you tried to
1194s	ram in when it caught them boundary
1196s	expert season oniros they're able to
1198s	keep them alive their Universe almost
1199s	died but they got like a clutch Jam off
1201s	at the last second and so he lost
1203s	tackling was able to get away uh yeah
1205s	really good job with boundary experts
1207s	planning um also no Forks didn't spread
1209s	out ever so they're like oh no my domi's
1211s	tackled I have to stand next to it and
1213s	save it
1215s	oh well big brain tactics mystical
1218s	Knight yeah I just wanted to add that
1220s	while it did work out for them this time
1222s	with the Tula Shacks telegraphing that
1224s	you want to bring something like the
1226s	Shacks by Banning every other tracking
1228s	disrupting ship in the game apart from
1229s	the crucifier does mean that people may
1232s	be able to anticipate your moves and
1234s	then try to counter that in other ways
1236s	so ECM for example I think would have
1238s	been a decent counter to the Lush acts
1240s	breaking their spools instead of just
1242s	limiting their range and they would have
1243s	run into similar issues
1245s	um as they would against the track and
1246s	disruptors so something to think about
1247s	perhaps for the boundary experts team
1249s	but I'm glad that they are now price
1250s	ship enjoyers I'm pretty sure the
1251s	biringer experts have been a team that
1253s	has favored the uh the Double The Shack
1255s	more than more than most I think Odin's
1256s	as well are a team that like to use it
1258s	yeah it's not a very common comp uh the
1260s	teams tend to use quite heavily
1262s	um but 52 points though in two ships
1264s	that's uh those are big numbers what do
1266s	you think no yeah 52 is a pretty big
1268s	number um it is actually over half the
1270s	amount of points you can have and over
1271s	half is a very good number as well uh I
1274s	do think Tula Shacks is very strong
1276s	um
1277s	the ship hasn't actually been changed
1278s	much since we saw it's like overwhelming
1280s	dominance back in I want to say a t16
1283s	where they were like 21 points each
1285s	because it's like oh it's Strickland
1286s	sponsored so they were super cheap uh
1289s	obviously that was realized to be maybe
1291s	not the best idea ever
1293s	um they're still very strong uh we saw
1295s	it like if they once they get on top of
1296s	you you're done like they just sit there
1297s	and they ramp and eventually their
1299s	damage becomes unreparable and you go
1300s	down they are however very very slow uh
1304s	hence why I was like oh just kite away
1305s	with your drone setups and no Fork said
1308s	no we will not we will stand and fight
1310s	which is uh not a good idea so double
1312s	Shacks are strong but again like Misty
1314s	said there's so many little things you
1316s	can use to stop it
1318s	they just weren't used in this match
1319s	well that is unfortunate for them and
1321s	they have left the tournament uh and
1323s	with that we move on to our next match
1324s	which is going to be big yikes versus
1326s	Deepwater Hooligans so let's take a look
1327s	at the bands for this match
1331s	so a big egg spanning out the Le Shack
1333s	the Claymore and the Armageddon Navy
1334s	issue Deepwater Hooligans Banning Out
1336s	The Vindicator of the Nighthawk and the
1338s	Loki mystical my interest in sets of
1340s	bands here yeah I mean the Armageddon
1343s	Navy issue again teams seem to be
1344s	thinking that it's extremely strong we
1346s	saw a lot of teams bringing it last
1348s	weekend
1349s	um not everyone did well with it a lot
1351s	of teams seemed to try and cram it into
1353s	their setups
1354s	um favoring it because of the recent
1355s	Buffs that it's received
1357s	um but I never panned out for them so
1359s	interesting to see that it's banned here
1361s	the Le shark band makes sense again
1362s	because it is still an extremely strong
1364s	ship as demonstrated by boundary experts
1366s	just now and then we have the typical uh
1368s	bands coming out on the Nighthawk and
1370s	Loki to try and get rid of those strong
1371s	Rush elements that we've been seeing but
1373s	the sleptness still available so there's
1375s	other ways that they can go about it if
1376s	they want to
1377s	yeah again this is another elimination
1378s	match so one of these two teams is going
1380s	to go home with nothing the other one's
1381s	going to get at least some price ships
1383s	let's take a look at some of the
1384s	background of these teams
1386s	um whichever one the production crew
1387s	wants to put up first we'll have a look
1388s	at that
1391s	there are so Deepwater Hooligans 21
1394s	Pilots have flown from for them a bunch
1396s	of Veteran Pilots to moxa zero believe
1397s	the captain and Dano I last match they
1400s	have played was against ahil now which
1402s	they won and prior to that they lost to
1405s	arrival so that's how they ended up
1406s	getting uh put into this lower bracket I
1408s	believe uh local is primary lost against
1410s	them ride my turtle they beat and then
1413s	good and swarm Federation Hard Knock
1414s	citizens unlocks to Esports Petopia so
1416s	they've had reasonable success in the
1418s	alliance tournament thus far four wins
1419s	the three losses let's take a look at
1421s	their opponents here and I just wanted
1423s	to quickly say regulio Smith I think did
1426s	excellent work in one of the previous
1427s	matches I just wanted to give him a
1428s	quick shout out nice so here's the big
1430s	yikes team a little bit less uh varied
1433s	so far as the newer team this year but
1434s	no less experienced Pilots KitKat the
1436s	captain with 11 matches played in
1438s	Alliance tournament uh they won against
1440s	hidden Leaf ninja Village and lost
1442s	against Brave Collective uh who dropped
1444s	them into this lower bracket here where
1446s	they are right now we can also look at
1448s	some of the top pilots in these teams
1450s	and see what they like to fly in let's
1451s	see if we can throw that up right now
1457s	okay we cannot throw that up right now
1459s	but I can tell you that uh there is a
1461s	flagship bar gas coming up in this next
1463s	match which should be super super
1464s	exciting
1465s	um mystical Mike what do you think we
1467s	can look forward to here
1469s	oh tricky question when there's so many
1471s	ships available in Eve online
1473s	um who can say
1475s	um I don't know big yikes I don't think
1477s	have really demonstrated that much depth
1479s	when it comes to their Theory crafting I
1481s	looked back at a couple of their
1482s	previous matches and they ran the same
1484s	thing twice they won with it and then
1486s	they lost with it so I'm wondering if
1488s	they're just going to bring the same
1489s	thing again maybe this is the extent of
1491s	their Theory crafting and it's just look
1492s	to crush the execution of it which is
1494s	what some teams do and it obviously gets
1496s	some people fairly far they are on the
1498s	second weekend now Within Reach of price
1500s	ships so it's not necessarily a bad
1502s	strategy but again if your opponent is
1504s	able to anticipate what you're going to
1505s	be bringing it does make it a little bit
1507s	harder to execute
1508s	um but yeah no idea what they're going
1510s	to bring
1511s	okay let's take a look at one of the
1512s	player graphs this is the flagship uh
1514s	and Captain
1516s	um of uh Deepwater hooligan so this is
1518s	Dano I uh you see normally he likes to
1521s	fly in the larger ships we see the uh
1523s	apocalypse Navy issue the Absolution
1525s	typhoon Fleet issue uh Golem he's a he's
1528s	a Chad Gollum pilot and an EOS uh wins
1531s	more often than he loses which is always
1532s	good and you can see he's been playing
1533s	for a bunch of Alliance tournaments so
1536s	very experienced pilot here at Deepwater
1538s	hilligans last couple of times and prior
1539s	to that Nelly and Good Fellas so this is
1542s	a definitely someone who knows a little
1543s	bit what they are doing
1546s	okay I hear ships are landing on grid so
1548s	let's talk about our predictions at this
1549s	point though Mr Clement who are you
1550s	going to go for between big yikes and
1551s	Deepwater Hooligans uh hmm
1554s	I'm gonna have to go with big yikes here
1557s	big yikes and black Pirate no I'm going
1560s	with Deepwater Hooligans because that's
1562s	where my heart tells me to go
1564s	my heart hopes they lose well that makes
1567s	me want to also go for deep water
1568s	Hooligans to the mystical might is wrong
1570s	so uh let us go to the arena uh for big
1573s	yikes versus Deepwater Hooligans
1580s	and welcome back to the arena we have a
1582s	very interesting match obviously as said
1583s	by uh Mr overload that there is a flag
1585s	bug but it's in a very interesting comp
1587s	what do you think about this one Swift
1589s	uh yeah this is uh this is gonna be good
1591s	the old armor Bargas uh that's a real
1595s	thing uh the bark obviously gets quite a
1597s	lot of mid slots uh it is a very flimsy
1600s	ship though for your Flagship so we'll
1602s	see how Dano does this uh as the desk
1604s	pointed out this guy has a ton of
1606s	experience in the alliance tournament uh
1608s	and kind of uh you know all eyes are
1610s	definitely going to be on him
1612s	interesting on the other side we have
1613s	another very honestly quite interesting
1615s	comp full projection Navy apoc Fleet
1617s	Tempest a starry Absolution comp so
1619s	there's a lot of uh DPS at range
1622s	and obviously a very good support Wing
1623s	in terms of t3ds and Jack Jones football
1626s	so this is this is a very like I would
1628s	say DPS heavy comp but that attack bar
1629s	does not say that at all
1632s	oh yeah this should be actually
1634s	incredibly interesting uh obviously I we
1636s	kind of glossed over it but there's also
1637s	a battle going on the Deepwater Hulu
1639s	inside a lot of control out there uh you
1641s	can't fit officer webs or anything on
1643s	this thing or even faction webs so it's
1645s	just gonna be standard balgorn webs
1646s	there uh so they're gonna need those
1648s	people and uh flee vigil to kind of
1651s	tackle something in order for the
1652s	balgorn to kind of lock on and hold down
1654s	forever uh so we'll see how this goes
1656s	real quick uh keep an eye on the owners
1658s	for the Deepwater hooligan side I think
1660s	tamox is going to be put under quite a
1662s	lot of pressure here early on uh we'll
1665s	see
1666s	indeed indeed it's also very interesting
1667s	to see a bow go on top uh paired up with
1669s	a Bargas they're both kind of control
1670s	ships but on different sides of the
1672s	spectrum and they've just decided let's
1674s	just bring them both this is this is
1675s	fine
1676s	but as you said that our nearest is
1678s	definitely going to be the one that gets
1679s	uh probably pressured immediately by
1680s	these ranged battleships but we'll have
1683s	to see how many rep drones get thrown on
1684s	them to try and give them some more life
1685s	as the match is about to be underway
1687s	yeah also uh want to shout out Deepwater
1688s	Hooligans who you'll see in Blue uh they
1690s	brought a Hound a bomber a lot of
1692s	battleships in this meta so uh huge
1695s	value there uh three points 600 damage
1698s	let's see if he can stay alive though
1701s	honestly I'm just watching a lot of
1703s	e-warp going out immediately I believe
1704s	the uh jacked up from both sides have
1706s	just dumped out their uh their damps yep
1709s	and you can see the big Yanks team is
1711s	charging into the Deepwater Hooligans
1713s	team who are just kind of holding back
1715s	and waiting a little bit and as you
1717s	mentioned the support wings are the ones
1718s	going to be taking a lot of the damage
1720s	so far
1723s	just keeping an eye out on the Jackson
1725s	triple demand looks like that's gonna be
1726s	the primary simple as being beaten up
1728s	quite handily at the moment
1730s	yeah Tomatoes is way back there he is oh
1734s	this people just gets deleted instantly
1737s	gone there as soon as the webs apply
1740s	I'm just double checking as well I
1742s	believe yep that is a rapid heavy Burger
1744s	so that with the webs from a bowel gone
1746s	is going to apply very well even to
1748s	these T3 destroyers so this could
1750s	honestly be a surprising amount of DPS
1752s	coming from this bug because I see that
1754s	tyrannus about to go down too yeah the
1756s	tyrannos was tackling uh tamoxa all the
1759s	way in the back lines there at least got
1760s	the initial tackle there uh but he just
1762s	way outplayed his the rest of his team
1765s	and they could not keep him alive no way
1767s	no how uh this big yags team uh is uh
1771s	just losing a little bit too much of the
1772s	support too quickly here on that initial
1775s	charge in an amazing work as well but by
1777s	the uh balgorn and the Bargas the
1779s	bargain has an Absolution held down
1781s	permanently and the bogus has an astada
1783s	held down which means tomoxo can also
1785s	just run away and be safe while still
1787s	repairing his uh his friends there's
1789s	honestly some great screen where from
1790s	the battleship of all things yeah this
1793s	is a super control team here the the
1795s	starter as you mentioned abso Thalia
1797s	they're all webbed down held down and
1799s	this Fleet temp is too he's just
1801s	scrammed with his heavy scram uh by this
1804s	bar guest so he is not going anywhere uh
1807s	this team is just being kept at arm's
1808s	length and they want to get in a little
1810s	bit closer but they just can't
1812s	yeah the Tempest Fleet can shoot and
1814s	he's not even being tracked but it
1815s	doesn't matter you can't do it on his
1817s	own you see actually he's tracking shop
1818s	is going to the Navy ipok enter the a
1820s	star day and to the episode so all those
1822s	ships are are kind of neutered at the
1824s	moment so the only [ __ ] that can really
1825s	fight back is the Tempest Fleet and
1827s	that's just not going to be enough
1828s	against an aniros this is well flown and
1830s	controlled by Deepwater Hooligans here
1831s	who are just dominating this match uh
1833s	BB's bbp's heart was right here it looks
1836s	like as the Thalia goes down deacons are
1838s	going to fall down with it really
1839s	quickly as it is painted by the sleet
1841s	visual uh webbed down nuded damp there's
1844s	nothing this poor Deacon can do
1846s	especially with his Thalia buddy down
1850s	I see sometimes going to the bugs but
1852s	again I do not see them breaking through
1854s	this Flag bug under a neros reps that is
1857s	that is a very tall ask for a comp that
1859s	is rapidly losing teeth
1861s	yeah the estarta is also going down of
1863s	KitKat uh losing quite a lot of uh
1866s	damage here as he goes down uh no local
1869s	tank on this has started you could see
1871s	uh the defense bar would have a nice
1872s	little bit of purple if there was uh but
1874s	no p is just all buffer and damage uh
1877s	tracking disrupted uh he's not able to
1879s	apply anything here uh big yikes are
1882s	having a really hard time they're
1884s	chewing through the bar guest a little
1885s	bit but I have a feeling deep water
1887s	hooligans are just kind of baiting uh
1889s	they're not really worried too much here
1891s	they've got full control of this grid
1894s	exactly and they've also got a lot of
1896s	newts in both the balgorn and the
1898s	utility hires of the Bargas so they are
1899s	constantly newting out this apoc Navy
1901s	and also the Absolution so they can't
1903s	shoot enough to actually kill this bug
1904s	as you see his armor is now going up so
1906s	honestly again even even on their High
1908s	slots they have got amazing control on
1910s	this team and are using it to the
1912s	absolute perfect effect
1914s	okay we didn't talk about this
1915s	stormbringer here on the Deepwater
1916s	hooligan side uh this is a ship they
1918s	brought last time and we kind of
1920s	questioned it a little bit but it is
1921s	incredibly tanky uh it's a shield uh
1925s	resistance bonus uh and also is great at
1927s	clearing some drones here uh and wow
1930s	just great Target calling on the sea
1932s	water hooligan side they've
1933s	systematically gone through every ship
1936s	that they need to uh their jackdaws
1938s	people uh and flea vigil are just kind
1940s	of working as their own separate unit
1942s	killing the big egg support team as it
1944s	comes through uh incredibly flown uh and
1948s	just well well executed
1950s	I'm having a bit of a giggle with myself
1952s	at the moment this storm bringer with a
1953s	shield bonus is being brought to an
1955s	armor comp and is still kicking butt
1960s	this is yeah this is just how what do
1962s	you say to this besides well done
1963s	Deepwater Horgan's well flown indeed the
1965s	Bargas are still holding comfortably
1967s	tamoxa was threatened at the start but
1969s	he flew his part perfectly as well as
1971s	his entire team like it is it looks like
1974s	it's entirely one-sided but it honestly
1976s	could have gone the other way with a few
1977s	maybe some potentially better flying
1979s	from Big yikes or some unlucky moments
1981s	with deep water it's it doesn't look
1983s	like even though it'll be a hundred zero
1985s	it was not a hundred zero at the start
1987s	it was looking a lot more uh
1989s	what would you say risky
1991s	yeah I could have been quite painful
1993s	there uh you know this is one of those
1995s	matches where you're like oh if I could
1996s	do this again here's what I would do uh
1998s	and maybe just if you have like uh best
2000s	of five there's an entire possibility
2003s	that the big eggs team can pull out the
2005s	the dub on that one but you only get one
2008s	chance in the alliance tournament uh
2010s	especially in the elimination bracket
2013s	so they're gonna have to uh
2015s	unfortunately exit on big yikes but for
2017s	deep water Hooligans these guys are will
2020s	be a prize ship enjoyers with this win
2023s	uh so they just kind of squeaked into
2025s	the top 16 now as they finish up the
2027s	sleet Tempest uh interestingly enough
2029s	match is completely over uh they're
2031s	still playing this one perfectly uh
2033s	newting out the apoc and killing the
2035s	Tempest
2036s	um just a great execution
2039s	very much I also noticed that there was
2041s	a tracking shopping both temples and the
2042s	Navy a plug they're not letting anything
2043s	happen at the last second they're being
2045s	very careful about it but this Tempest
2047s	Fleet is dying incredibly slowly so can
2050s	someone please just nude them out remove
2051s	his hardness please he's taking so long
2053s	to die
2055s	and you can see where they went for him
2056s	last there they knew that they could uh
2058s	keep these ships from applying their
2059s	damage uh onto their uh onto what they
2063s	need but
2065s	I wonder if someone's doing a little bit
2066s	of cheeky Looting of the field right now
2069s	so kind of just keeping him alive to do
2070s	a little bit of looting who knows this
2072s	is of course on Tranquility so all these
2075s	losses are are like of course real
2078s	losses and the loot does matter so you
2081s	know the flag bark it's not exploding so
2083s	no one needs to grab that loot but
2084s	everything else you know a few hundred
2086s	mil here and there it adds up
2089s	very true it looks like the Flag bug is
2091s	not finished reloading and it's finally
2092s	finished off this Tempest Fleet leaving
2093s	with just an apoc Navy who I said like
2096s	last week The Vindicator hates when it's
2097s	being fully e-board down I think the
2099s	Epic Navy hates it more because he has
2101s	less tools to stop that from happening
2103s	the guns can't even fire that's just the
2106s	super feels bad man like you just can't
2107s	do anything and you're just stuck on
2110s	grid kind of saying trying to maybe
2112s	doubting yourself working that I've done
2114s	differently uh but there's really
2116s	nothing to do in this match uh with the
2118s	way it panned out uh Christian moon in
2120s	the Hound I'm sure he's going to be top
2122s	damage on a lot of these battleships
2124s	really well flown there these ships are
2126s	hard to keep alive uh specifically when
2128s	there's a jacked off people tyrannis on
2130s	the other side uh expected that guy to
2132s	take a little bit more damage there but
2134s	bam Navy apoc explodes uh wing night at
2138s	night we're gonna send it back to the
2139s	boys in the booth uh where Bart's heart
2141s	is going to grow three sizes this day
2161s	[Music]
2165s	thank you
2169s	guys stop being casual they're really
2171s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
2174s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
2176s	everybody warp off this is a really
2177s	really bad execution I'm very
2179s	disappointed
2183s	another great haul back from Omar damn
2187s	I'm thirsty
2196s	[Applause]
2205s	Yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
2208s	collectively so that's why that Alliance
2210s	logo is in the game of course you could
2212s	change your alliance by leaving but that
2214s	would be kind of a jerk move that kind
2216s	of oh you don't like it though it's Lego
2218s	sucks I'm gonna go join
2220s	foreign
2234s	[Music]
2237s	exiting the tournament as deep water
2240s	Hooligans take that final spot in the
2242s	top 16 thus securing themselves at some
2244s	price ships in a very interesting match
2247s	they had it pretty much locked down from
2249s	the start we saw some interesting ship
2250s	choices on both teams and we saw the use
2253s	of a hound we haven't seen very many
2254s	stealth bombers this Alliance tournament
2256s	now usually they're a staple in the
2257s	tournament very low amount of points
2259s	very high DPS especially against
2260s	battleships mystical might why do you
2262s	think we're not seeing as many as we
2263s	have in previous years it seems like
2265s	teams are prioritizing control and
2268s	tackle a little bit more than just raw
2269s	damage from the lower end we are seeing
2272s	some jackdaws coming out for example
2273s	some sequels that we as we saw in this
2275s	match which double as effective damage
2277s	boats but also ships that you can send
2279s	in to actually pin down the enemy team
2281s	the reason that we might not be seeing
2283s	some of these stealth bombers a little
2284s	bit more I hypothesize at least is that
2287s	we're seeing a lot of Rush setups and
2289s	bombers are going to suffer greatly from
2291s	these raw setups because they aren't
2292s	able to go and attack with these Rush
2294s	ships down so it allows their full team
2295s	to get onto View and then work their way
2298s	through your core so even though they do
2300s	a lot of damage not always the best
2301s	option to bring because it's fairly
2303s	risky leaves you open to uh yeah being
2306s	rushed Bart speaking of rushing we saw
2308s	that tyrannus there we kind of expected
2310s	him to just rush in for that bomber and
2312s	try and remove it especially as big X
2313s	brought a couple of battleships for
2315s	which uh the bombers will be applying
2316s	perfectly too but he ran in and he
2318s	tackled the unitos I think and it was
2320s	Euro pointing out that he's done it too
2321s	rarely that the team wasn't there to
2323s	capitalize on it like what was going on
2325s	there I think uh what was it it's like
2326s	the it's the over extension that
2328s	actually was an overextension not one
2330s	that kind of baited us into thinking it
2331s	so uh the trainous was going at about
2333s	close to 5000 meters a second which is
2335s	very very fast compared to pretty much
2337s	every other ship on there because there
2339s	was you know heavy armor battleships uh
2341s	he just went straight for the nearest
2343s	tackled it immediately blew up and the
2345s	rest of his team was like 50 kilometers
2346s	behind so it was kind of like like you
2348s	said if you'd gone after the bomber
2350s	which is probably six to seven hundred
2351s	DPS maybe tried to solo PVP it down
2353s	stress out the logistics especially when
2355s	using Logistics frigates
2356s	that might have worked as uh much better
2358s	or just hung back and waited until his
2360s	other ships were in range because he he
2362s	did get the oniros tackle the oniros did
2364s	a great job
2365s	they're just with no follow-up so yeah
2368s	sometimes we see teams using uh suicide
2370s	tackle their job is to just run in hold
2372s	something down and survive long enough
2373s	before you inevitably die for the rest
2376s	of your ships to trundle in but if you
2377s	just get too far ahead of them then you
2379s	know that's not gonna work no one can
2380s	save you at mystical might we also saw
2382s	another armored jackdaw not the most
2385s	common chip on TQ but very popular in
2387s	the tournament uh why would you bring an
2389s	armor Jack doll yeah so as mentioned an
2392s	armor Jack door does two things really
2394s	well I think one is that it is able to
2397s	project damage so it's a constant stream
2399s	of like missiles that come into pressure
2401s	either the lower end of the enemy team
2403s	especially useful if you are using a
2406s	thing like or if you're fighting against
2407s	something like a zom or logifrix because
2410s	having to make the decision on what you
2412s	rep is actually fairly difficult in
2414s	those two circumstances so they do
2415s	damage which is great and they project
2417s	it really far and the other thing that
2419s	they do really well is that they have a
2420s	lot of mids and if your armor fit you
2422s	can use those mids for things like
2424s	tracking disruptors or missile guidance
2425s	filters which means that you can
2427s	effectively shut down one or two of the
2428s	ships on the enemy team the only real
2430s	downside of an armor Jack door is that
2432s	if it gets shot it disappears so the
2434s	trick is to not get shot
2436s	and by disappears uh Bart do you think
2438s	he means cloaking no I don't I think he
2440s	means it explodifies
2442s	um but yeah like the other thing about
2444s	the arm projectile is when it goes in
2446s	defensive mode it has there's no bonus
2448s	to it it's like oh the signature gets
2450s	reduced a little bit so even if you fill
2452s	those two low slots with as much tank as
2456s	you possibly can yes your it has no
2458s	chance so it's it actually becomes a
2459s	pretty piloting intensive one because
2461s	you have to be very aware of
2462s	where you are compared to the enemy but
2464s	uh I think especially with this new uh
2467s	with the changes allowing scripts it has
2469s	become even more powerful because now
2471s	those uh those stamps track and
2472s	disrupters whatever are like twice as
2474s	good
2475s	awesome now our next match is going to
2477s	be arrival versus Exodus so let's check
2479s	in with gentan and an interview with the
2481s	captain from Exodus
2483s	all right so first of all can you just
2485s	introduce yourself to the audience both
2487s	who you are and what team you represent
2489s	uh yes uh I am a zaraxel Nightblade I'm
2493s	with a team Exodus I've been an eve
2495s	player since 2007 I'm currently the
2498s	captain of the at team this year and
2501s	I've been a member of Alliance since
2503s	2013.
2505s	so what do Exodus typically do on drag
2507s	quality outside of the tournament
2509s	currently uh well currently we do a lot
2512s	of small gain PVP solo PVP not quite as
2516s	uh active as in the past uh most of us
2520s	um have been playing for years and we
2523s	just really focus on the at
2525s	um that's when we become active and then
2527s	we go in our little holes uh when we are
2530s	not playing
2531s	um but uh mainly uh small gang PVP and
2535s	solo PVP
2537s	all right so what uh exodus's
2539s	competitive history have there been any
2541s	major results from the team in the past
2544s	um you know give us some idea of your
2545s	tournament pedigree of course
2547s	um you know exit that first uh played in
2550s	at-10
2552s	um and we've participated in every at
2553s	since then
2555s	um you know we have uh current members
2558s	of our alliancee team participate in
2561s	um the newly Eden open tournament we
2564s	also had uh one of our members win the
2567s	mar Championship says the name is awasa
2569s	QC
2571s	um we actually took account of our team
2573s	members and found that we have almost
2575s	100 Years of at experience Among Us
2579s	um eight of our T our team Corps members
2581s	have been in Exodus since uh the first
2584s	tournament run
2586s	um we finished third in the first uh and
2589s	the second ATS we were part of you know
2591s	so 18 10 and 11. and then since then we
2595s	finished second and multiple times in
2597s	the top ten
2598s	um one year we didn't practice at all
2601s	um and we finished in the top 12 which
2604s	was uh pretty fun uh we also uh were
2607s	made aware of this uh I want to buy one
2610s	of our practice partners that among all
2613s	U.S teams Exodus uh has finished the
2617s	highest in history in 80s at second and
2620s	third the fact that we've never really
2622s	even considered representing n a yep
2625s	representing any I can't believe Eve is
2627s	the only esport where n a is actually
2629s	good
2630s	big facts can you give me some idea of
2634s	where you would hope to or expect a
2636s	place within the alliance tournament you
2638s	know are you expecting to compete for
2639s	that top four this time or maybe even
2641s	take the trophy itself
2644s	um I think that with the the group of
2646s	guys that we have this year
2648s	um and just uh the the general
2651s	atmosphere of the team
2654s	um I think that we definitely have a
2657s	very good chance to get into the top
2658s	four
2659s	um as long as we uh don't uh beat
2662s	ourselves and do something uh stupid I
2664s	think we uh we should we should very
2667s	well be competing for the top four
2674s	are you argentan talking to the captain
2675s	of Exodus a very experienced team uh
2678s	with a lot of Pilots I think he said was
2680s	it eight years or 100 years or something
2681s	that combines experience that's just
2683s	mind-boggling let's take a look at some
2685s	of the most experienced pilots in Exodus
2688s	and see what we can look at there
2690s	foreign
2692s	Maybe
2695s	there we go
2697s	all right so uh Walter Uber snow of
2699s	course now flying with truth honor light
2700s	I believe uh 61 matches uh when he flew
2703s	with Exodus that's uh that's something
2705s	in itself I'm pretty sure uh one of the
2707s	more experienced pilots in my Instagram
2709s	history right there uh and this this is
2711s	just a who's who of experience here
2713s	we've of course got a zaraxel there we
2714s	just heard from him uh nixar Mr Falcon
2717s	some amazing names in there anyone
2719s	jumping at you mystical knight uh I know
2722s	sabotage I think from my days back in
2724s	faction Warfare so it's nice to see that
2725s	he's been doing well with the 18 getting
2727s	involved I've seen him quite a bit it's
2729s	been years now since we flew together
2732s	um yeah I mean next door as well water
2734s	Uber snow like you said a few members
2736s	there that have left Exodus and moved on
2738s	to other teams
2739s	um and they've also had good runs as
2740s	well with those teams so really high
2742s	school Pilots I'm a big fan of uh Snow's
2745s	win rate there uh is a solid solid
2748s	number
2749s	um let's look at the bands for this
2750s	upcoming match
2754s	so a rival choosing to ban the arthrus
2757s	oh I can see myself again hello uh the
2759s	Arthur is the caracal Navy issue the bar
2761s	guest X to spanning out the Nighthawk
2763s	the Bargas the Armageddon and then the
2765s	trickle bands we have an osprey and a
2767s	curse uh Blackberry pirate what do you
2769s	make of this I think that a arrival has
2772s	finally done something that I have been
2774s	suggesting for like at least three ATS
2776s	now which is Van caldari kaidi type
2780s	stuff out against Exodus and also thanks
2783s	to the current modern meta that we're
2785s	starting to see the orthos and the
2786s	caracal the issue are both like key
2789s	ships for the Calgary rush so somebody
2791s	finally actually studied their playbook
2793s	and was like ah we think we have a way
2795s	to defeat them
2796s	um
2797s	yeah they're just very very smart and
2799s	then the Osprey as well is like kind of
2800s	key to these calorie Rush setups because
2802s	it's so few points but still reps very
2804s	very hard so I I really like arrivals
2806s	plans they definitely thought about this
2808s	and uh
2809s	yeah just just really really good play
2811s	on their part mystiko yeah I just wanted
2813s	to add that uh one of the talking points
2815s	that I had about arrival as a team is
2818s	that they seem to actually go back
2819s	through and watch some of the matches
2820s	that their opponents have played and
2822s	then try and put their band strategy
2823s	together based on what they've actually
2824s	shown so with truth on the light as an
2827s	example they banned the exact Navy issue
2829s	which is I think the first and only
2830s	exact Navy Band that we've seen maybe
2832s	there's been one or two other ones but
2834s	it's interesting because it shows that
2835s	they're actually taking the interest in
2837s	understanding what the matter of the
2838s	other team is instead of just assuming
2840s	that everyone shares the same
2841s	understanding of what's good and what's
2843s	not excellent uh well it's time to find
2845s	out you know can arrival pull one over
2846s	on Exodus or will Exodus try and rise to
2849s	the top
2850s	um being one of the first n a teams
2852s	potentially to win the alliance
2853s	tournament in itself
2855s	um let's go to the arena and find out
2862s	and welcome to the arena and we have of
2865s	course a rival versus exit and we have a
2866s	very interesting match with a um
2868s	honestly it looks like a bit of a uh
2870s	kite Rush maybe versus Belgian Navy apoc
2872s	this is very interesting what do you
2873s	think about this one uh
2875s	Swift I think it's crazy that arrival or
2878s	almost a three to one Underdog here uh
2880s	as you mentioned they've got the
2882s	Claymore slip their Loki uh double Navy
2884s	Osprey this is definitely going to be a
2885s	nice little uh Rush team over here
2887s	against Exodus taking in a bad Navy apoc
2891s	balgorn core oh that is uh that is
2895s	definitely a bunch of tanky boys uh
2897s	sitting right up there uh augmented by
2899s	an arbitrator Confessor crucifier and
2901s	Punisher so a lot of uh missile guidance
2903s	disruptors potentially uh we'll see how
2905s	this plays out
2907s	yeah it's a very heavy core indeed just
2909s	checking around the ships at the moment
2910s	seeing if the slept near it would be
2912s	artillery for some reason it's not but
2914s	you know I can hope
2916s	um yeah this is going to be very
2917s	interesting to see how this match uh
2918s	develops but there's a very heavy core
2920s	from Exodus that's going to be a pain to
2921s	break even with the rivals big massive
2923s	chunk of DPS yeah and they're actually
2925s	fairly close to one another here so uh
2927s	probably a little bit of Advantage uh to
2928s	arrival we see their Navy Osprey is
2930s	already webbed down by this Exodus
2932s	belgorne and he's going to be deleted
2934s	off the field here let's see how fast
2935s	they can apply that damage
2939s	it's pretty good at the moment I'm
2940s	waiting to see if it slows down but
2942s	they're actually kicking his butt real
2943s	hard right now and these of course the
2945s	uh apoc Navy and Abaddon can apply at
2947s	range so as long as he's web they can
2949s	apply them as a Punisher is getting
2951s	absolutely ripped open but he actually
2952s	managed to survive maybe yeah he's hold
2955s	he's old 15 structure easy uh that you
2958s	only need a little bit of structure
2960s	right so he's totally fine and we see
2962s	wasik you've seen now taking quite a bit
2963s	of damage here uh on the Exodus side uh
2966s	he is right up in there
2968s	uh but now it looks like he might be
2970s	trying to save himself a little bit uh I
2973s	think this is probably one of the most
2973s	individually skilled pilots in the
2975s	tournament uh so let's see how long he
2977s	can last if he can Outlast uh for this
2979s	Navy Osprey who is slowly about to enter
2981s	armor here quickly about the Under Armor
2983s	here
2984s	being the intelligible Indies he's
2986s	currently in defensive mode which makes
2987s	that Confessor even harder to kill as
2988s	you see he's now sitting at 100 armor
2990s	and not moving as Osprey Navy is now
2992s	going through armors they are starting
2994s	to punch through the ship and that will
2996s	start swinging this match towards
2997s	exodus's way yeah one of the things you
2999s	can't see here is the arrival dot uh
3002s	they have a cloud or at least had a
3003s	cloud of light Shield maintenance spots
3005s	uh that The Exodus support Wing was
3007s	actually shooting off there uh so that's
3009s	where you saw the kind of the damage die
3011s	there a little bit more uh Claymore and
3013s	slept here are pinned down oh my gosh
3016s	this Exodus team uh maybe they are maybe
3019s	a rival should have been a three to one
3020s	Underdog but we'll see as another Navy
3022s	Osprey is pinned down here uh this guy
3025s	is double webbed uh larynx is not moving
3027s	anywhere and this balgorn Navy apoc and
3030s	abandon are going to throw their em
3032s	damage right into his face it's not
3034s	going to be pretty to be a Navy Osprey
3036s	on this day
3037s	it looks like a rival is not committing
3039s	fully and trying to kill the bowel gone
3040s	the Battleground is obviously very tanky
3041s	and they've got a reactive arm hardener
3042s	but then again they've got missiles so
3044s	they could fire the rainbow with this
3046s	guy but that is not going to change
3047s	anything he is tanking incredibly well
3050s	his notes aren't really going to hurt
3051s	anything on the grid except for maybe
3053s	removing their tank but he you just they
3055s	just don't have the DPS to make this
3056s	work
3057s	I love the confidence of Mr Falcon here
3059s	in the Punisher uh when you are flying
3062s	around with like 30 structure maybe your
3064s	instinct is to kind of hide in the
3066s	background he is not having a background
3068s	look at the Auger the auger's been held
3070s	down now he's being absolutely pounded
3072s	that's going to be their lodgy gone and
3074s	maybe they can break this bar they need
3075s	this may potentially go for another big
3077s	ship or maybe go for the lodgy trade now
3078s	because they they are now on a timer oh
3081s	my gosh a Rivals are swinging this one
3083s	back here with that auger trade uh they
3085s	still have their cement are sure he's
3086s	being neuted down uh but he is being
3088s	neuted down by the Bal Gordon newts so
3090s	he should be able to kind of get some
3092s	reps off here and there uh as we see a
3094s	speeple is now tackled on the arrival
3096s	Dart side uh let's see how these guys
3098s	are smart they're gonna have to clear
3099s	off all the tackle that's clipping their
3101s	Claymore and slept near down then they
3103s	have to start moving around there's a
3104s	unit
3106s	I think they're going to recommit to the
3107s	burgling yep I'm already seeing the Loki
3109s	back on the balglin now just keeping an
3111s	eye out for the other ones and I think
3112s	they're going to fully commit this but
3113s	we're going to try and get one of these
3114s	big ships down the bug one's probably
3116s	the biggest uh
3117s	biggest Center of uh control for Exodus
3120s	on this grid right now
3121s	Scimitar look at the Timmy Simmy is now
3125s	tackled uh all right Exodus ice water in
3128s	their veins saying hey we got that logic
3129s	trade we can do this they're about to
3131s	lose their Magus which is going to be a
3132s	lot of their links uh but the semi for
3135s	arrival is now tackled uh let's see if
3137s	the apron gets tackled by
3139s	The Punisher
3142s	Mr Falcon MVP of this match if Exodus
3145s	can kind of take this one back uh riding
3148s	with no Logie a sliver of structure left
3150s	uh pinning down linchpin ship after
3153s	linchpin ship this Scimitar is dropping
3156s	Exodus are pulling this one back uh just
3159s	a back and forth match here you see the
3161s	Scimitar is repping he has an xlasb he's
3164s	got nine charges that can go up and down
3166s	so when you see it just every time it
3168s	goes up count and as soon as nine is
3170s	over then it's gonna start dropping he's
3172s	doing his show because he's buying time
3174s	as his team has now killed the battle
3175s	going and they are starting to slowly
3177s	maybe call this back if he can survive
3179s	just a little bit longer he can buy his
3181s	team that extra bit of time they can
3182s	maybe start working on maybe the apoc
3183s	Navy and start breaking apart the DPS
3185s	core here this could honestly flip to a
3187s	rival's way even with a scimitar loss
3190s	yeah and we see this uh it looks like
3192s	Wasa was trying to kill this flycatcher
3194s	here oh Mr Falcon finally goes down no
3198s	oh my gosh all right I mean this is
3200s	incredibly back and forth here uh this
3203s	is almost a dead even heat uh arrival
3205s	still have their DPS Coral alive Exodus
3208s	have two of three uh now it's just uh
3210s	decision making what are you gonna do
3212s	are you gonna take out the support Wing
3213s	that's what Exodus wants to do uh they
3215s	just killed a jackdaw from the
3217s	arrival.team uh as uh arrival kind of
3220s	working on this abandon they say who
3222s	cares about the small ships let's kill
3224s	the big boys get them off the field now
3226s	uh my gosh that will be the center of
3228s	this match for them at the moment you
3230s	can see obviously they're all right on
3231s	zero and but something is loaded hail
3232s	this claim was probably firing rage they
3235s	are putting everything into this Abaddon
3236s	I was confused why they're going for the
3238s	Abaddon first but turns out the apoc
3239s	Navy is actually quite a distance away
3240s	so they had to go for this guy which is
3243s	not not usually the best of cools but
3245s	his armor is not that much like he's
3247s	taking massive chunks
3249s	yeah generally when you see in a bad you
3251s	don't want to uh to shoot it so maybe he
3253s	kind of baited a little bit uh we see
3255s	Exodus kind of swapping their strategy
3256s	over they say yeah we don't need the the
3258s	small ships let's try and get the logic
3260s	or DPS trade going uh they're shooting
3263s	yeah oh my gosh handsy babes uh in the
3267s	slept near is very tanky a very high yam
3269s	resist I think he's gonna Outlast this a
3271s	badon though
3272s	in Abaddon this should not be the case
3275s	in any world the other one is now going
3277s	through structure he's going to go down
3278s	before the slip knee and this is
3279s	honestly a painful blow for Exodus the
3283s	Rival core still exists and this letter
3284s	is still holding and all they've got
3286s	left now really is an apoc Navy for real
3288s	damage
3289s	my got a rivalry doing it oh this is
3292s	great uh the slept near uh is still
3294s	tanking of handsy babes uh let's see
3297s	what they're gonna go for next obviously
3299s	they can now break off if they want to
3301s	start clearing off some of this tackle
3302s	uh they have a lot of control on vitones
3305s	Navy apoc so not too worried and that's
3307s	exactly what they're doing uh Washington
3309s	QC is now tackled they're gonna try and
3311s	uh clear up some of this uh back end
3313s	here and survive a little bit uh just
3317s	both teams going back and forth back and
3319s	forth uh incredible match
3322s	and notice that the slip new is now
3324s	tanking comfortably he's actually run
3326s	away from the um from the Navy apoc and
3329s	is also the neighborhood's been tracking
3330s	the truck so they can't even shoot him
3331s	so that slept near Will Survive relay is
3333s	xlasb can go straight back in this is
3336s	honestly a surprising Victory from a
3338s	rival hoop honestly I think they've got
3339s	this completely I think you're right a
3341s	handsy and that's left near uh he's
3343s	reloaded his ASB are in the process of
3344s	reloading so that's why he's kind of out
3346s	of no man's land here doing a little bit
3348s	damage uh clearing off some of the
3349s	smaller ships uh but exit is they're not
3352s	throwing in the towel uh they want to
3353s	keep this one going they think they've
3355s	got a pretty good chance to win here uh
3357s	so they're just clearing off a little
3358s	bit more of the back end going after the
3359s	caracal
3361s	yeah
3363s	should have picked that Target a lot
3365s	earlier like these T1 Cruisers are very
3367s	easy to kill and they obviously provide
3369s	a good amount of DPS this kind of comp I
3371s	think you might maybe kind of rip apart
3372s	the uh DPS that you can but it's a
3375s	little late unfortunately but they might
3376s	maybe be able to kill something else
3378s	oh look I mean if I invite someone right
3381s	now I am flipping my desk I have been
3383s	pinned down this entire match damped or
3386s	tracking disrupted unable to shoot
3388s	anything at all uh what a frustrating
3391s	thing this must be to be the one guy
3393s	singled out uh you see the Claymore and
3395s	something right now playing and laying
3397s	into him uh as the Loki is kind of going
3399s	around uh webbing anything he can and
3401s	shooting it uh mag is about to go down
3403s	Navy apocal down arrival showing that
3406s	they shouldn't have been three to one
3407s	thugs uh get some respect on that name
3409s	uh they're going to knock Exodus out
3412s	here
3413s	like this is honestly the surprise of
3416s	the entire day for me that I don't think
3417s	they're gonna be our top there's X's
3419s	being taken out by arrival in a match
3420s	honestly look like it was going Exodus
3421s	way at the start but that clutch uh
3423s	lodgy trade for arrival just really just
3426s	put them into the driver's seat and they
3427s	just they capitalize immediately I know
3429s	I was gushing over a Punisher uh while
3431s	watching an auger getting uh pinned down
3433s	or just glassing over dog or getting
3435s	pinned down glad I'm joined by you
3437s	Wingnut uh for catching that one uh that
3439s	was the pivotal moment of this match I
3441s	mean it was back and forth back and
3443s	forth but as soon as that auger went
3445s	down uh just huge huge uh win for
3449s	arrival that was just really well played
3451s	Exodus though they didn't Panic they got
3453s	the logic trade uh but you know
3455s	composure arrival nailed that battleborn
3459s	nailed that a badon kept the Navy apoc
3461s	pinned down uh and now they're just uh
3463s	reaping the rewards of that composure uh
3466s	congratulations to a rival thought uh
3469s	taking down Exodus apparently the N.A
3472s	Kings I had no idea uh so long
3478s	so I'm just going to piss off all the
3479s	North American viewers here and it's the
3482s	most gold medals of anyone in the
3484s	alliance tournament just dropping that
3485s	out there uh might not be here real yeah
3487s	that I could have just made that up
3489s	we'll never know uh Pawn effects going
3492s	down by then Tessie arrival get that
3495s	sigh of relief my gosh their hands must
3498s	be shaken here uh this was as we were
3501s	saying back and forth back and forth all
3503s	match long I think I'm gonna watch this
3505s	one again I'm actually going to leave
3506s	after this just to watch this match
3508s	again uh let's find CCB Castro to uh to
3511s	kind of take over the Reigns uh what an
3514s	amazing amazing match very much all the
3518s	guys in chat saying uh good fights as
3519s	well the match is now over so thank you
3521s	very much to Exodus for an amazing match
3522s	unfortunately you are out but with that
3524s	we'll head back to studio and see what
3526s	they think
3542s	[Music]
3546s	thank you
3553s	sino's up
3574s	pump it up a little more get the party
3577s	going on the Dance Floor
3599s	foreign
3613s	victory over Exodus who are now
3615s	eliminated from Alliance tournament 18.
3618s	the interview curse continues uh pretty
3620s	much every time we play a captain's
3622s	interview they immediately get
3624s	eliminated from the tournament as so
3626s	apologies there uh there's some some
3628s	poor lazy script writing from from the
3630s	team here in the back but wow I mean
3633s	arrival played that super super well uh
3636s	that could have gone many different ways
3638s	they could have lost that many different
3639s	ways the the one with bands essentially
3641s	the the forced uh XS to bring something
3643s	that they maybe rent is comfortable with
3645s	they brought their own counter to that
3646s	and then they just executed it super
3648s	well we saw some amazing piloting by all
3650s	those team members to to pull that
3651s	Victory off we also wanted to shout out
3653s	to Mr Falcon on The Exodus team because
3655s	he was in The Punisher and he went
3657s	flying in got tackled on something and
3659s	then started to die pretty quickly he
3660s	was unable to extract himself get back
3662s	out of a damage room range get reps and
3665s	then reposition and come back in and get
3667s	tackle on the Scimitar of howling wind
3669s	to enable his team to take down that
3670s	Scimitar and put them back into Fighting
3672s	Chance one of the most experienced
3674s	Pilots we can see here he's flown in a
3677s	bunch of matches 23 wins to 15 losses
3679s	which is a pretty good ratio obviously
3681s	flying for Exodus all the way back here
3683s	to Alliance tournament 10
3684s	um flying in a bunch of different
3686s	tournaments flying a bunch of different
3687s	ships usually the smaller ships the high
3689s	scale ships sometimes the nearest a
3690s	bunch of them a bunch of basilisks and
3692s	then a whole bunch of people's so he we
3695s	were very impressed with his piloting in
3696s	that particular match uh unfortunately
3698s	we won't see him again because he is
3699s	eliminated but well done you good job
3702s	um so mystical might we saw the slept
3705s	near of arrival uh starting to Boost
3708s	after that Scimitar went down and you
3710s	were sitting here and you were counting
3711s	boost charges as it was happening walk
3713s	me through what you were looking for
3714s	yeah so one of the things that we'll
3716s	typically see with ships like the slept
3718s	near and the Claymore because there are
3720s	active tank bonuses they'll usually have
3721s	an extra large ASB fit which allows them
3724s	to self-sustain their tank for a short
3726s	time I mean ASB is an ancillary Shield
3729s	booster which uses cap charges to give
3732s	you back your Shields without using your
3734s	own capacitor now when those cap charges
3736s	run out because there's only a limited
3738s	amount in these asbs it then starts
3741s	using your ship's capacitor to regen
3743s	your Shields it's extremely expensive
3745s	cap wise so it's not something that
3747s	really can be sustained once those
3749s	charges are gone which is why I was
3750s	counting to see how many charges he had
3752s	already used because that gives us an
3754s	idea of how much more tanky's actually
3756s	got left remaining to him and it was a
3759s	race between killing that abaddin and
3761s	whether that slapnel was going to die
3762s	before then once the abandon goes down
3764s	though sleptner is pretty free to burn
3766s	away reload that Shield booster because
3768s	you can reload it it just takes a really
3771s	long time so you can't really do it in
3772s	combat
3773s	awesome and uh I'm told by the
3776s	production team we have a Graphic uh for
3777s	you some hard-hitting deep analysis of
3780s	the alliance tournament let's see let's
3782s	see if we can throw that up and take a
3783s	look at it
3787s	so this is the win rate after uh playing
3789s	the interviews for the teams
3791s	um as you can see here not very many
3793s	wins in fact I would call that a goose
3795s	egg e0 zero wins for teams after playing
3797s	interviews so if you have been
3799s	interviewed by Jin tan and you don't
3801s	want us to play it then perhaps perhaps
3804s	reach out
3805s	it will cost you you know incidentally I
3808s	believe that uh Volta has an interview
3810s	with I've already deleted it just and
3813s	Truth honor light does not I I have made
3815s	one I I pretended to be Dexter and I did
3818s	the interview myself ah perfect
3820s	excellent play it whenever we're ready
3823s	um
3824s	let's look at our next uh next match now
3827s	which is nanofiber tokens versus root
3828s	Capel and have a look at the bands for
3829s	that one
3831s	so nanofiber tokens Banning out the bar
3833s	guests the Loki and the balgorn whereas
3836s	Rook Capel Banning out Scimitar
3837s	Blackbird and EOS uh Blackberry pirate
3840s	what are you seeing here well
3842s	interestingly enough I believe this is
3843s	actually the same bands that root Capel
3845s	has used several times now
3847s	um so uh they are clearly not adjusting
3850s	them based on their opponent they just
3851s	don't want to see scimitars blackbirds
3853s	and eoses I don't think we've seen a lot
3855s	of Blackbird play we did see that one uh
3857s	kind of disgusting one by Darkseid as
3860s	their potentially trump card of magic
3863s	Jam just spread everywhere and making
3864s	the game hard to play but uh nanofiber
3867s	tokens one is a little bit more
3868s	interesting
3869s	um I don't understand bargasbands
3871s	because we're really only seeing them as
3872s	flagships which can in fact evade the
3875s	ban uh though the Loki and the
3876s	Battleground are starting to become very
3877s	very standard
3879s	um again have opinions on belgorns but
3881s	you know maybe I'm wrong even though we
3883s	just saw one feed really hard who knows
3885s	who knows and um I think we have some
3887s	graphics for the teams as well so let's
3889s	see if we can throw up the root Capel
3891s	team graphic and take a closer look at
3893s	them
3894s	so Rockpile 94 Pilots that flown with
3897s	them over the years a whole bunch of
3898s	veterans uh flying in this team pretty
3901s	good pretty good ratio of winning uh to
3903s	not winning which is kind of what we
3904s	like to see
3905s	um they've won recently against Rusty
3907s	heinous Clan and Arcos core losing
3909s	against Volta and Hydra and also beating
3912s	Volta recently as well so this is a this
3914s	is a solid team like definitely not to
3915s	be discounted
3917s	um I know lady labia a very experienced
3919s	pilot flown uh in many Alliance
3922s	tournaments also been a desk Caster over
3924s	in Iceland at some previous Alliance
3925s	tournaments uh many many years gone so
3928s	again very experienced team another U.S
3930s	time zone team I believe so we'll see if
3932s	they do well at all Nano fiber tokens
3934s	bit more uh of a newer team in terms of
3937s	uh the core experience but the pilots
3940s	themselves obviously uh relatively
3942s	experienced and the astronaut with seven
3943s	rounds played and reasonably good uh
3945s	good ratio here two to one uh beating
3948s	both pandemic Legion and Esports Petopia
3950s	and just dropping to the losers bracket
3951s	against Odin's call who had a top eight
3953s	run last year so very respect to be
3955s	dropped down by them so Mr Gourmet who's
3958s	going to be this time nanofiber tokens
3959s	are rocker pal hmm
3961s	I'm gonna have to go with a rote I'm
3964s	gonna I'm gonna put my Caster curse upon
3966s	them and we'll see whether they can
3968s	break it Blackboard pirate I am also
3970s	going with throat because I am a
3971s	mademoiselle enjoyer
3973s	I am a Mademoiselle spammer so I will
3976s	also be going for Road Coppell so let's
3977s	go to the reader and find out who can
3978s	win for nanofiber tokens versus Road
3981s	Coppell
3987s	and welcome to the arena with nft versus
3989s	uh Road Capel we have a very interesting
3991s	match coming up ahead we have twin Navy
3993s	armageddon's versus what I believe is a
3995s	coyote Nighthawk uh comp what do you
3997s	think about this one zitonia
3999s	uh I'm really excited for this one uh
4001s	it's nice to see the new Armageddon Navy
4003s	issues on the field that were recently
4005s	buffed uh just uh last week
4010s	good timing for the buff indeed uh it's
4014s	gonna be very interesting I'm having a
4014s	look at what weapons they've got I
4015s	believe yep they are rapid heavy
4017s	armageddon's again so luckily they did
4019s	not verse any ECM here because that
4021s	could have really broken their Clips up
4022s	Meanwhile we're seeing a triple BC plus
4025s	uh French full-on support uh DPS support
4028s	sorry comp from uh throat so I suspect
4031s	they're gonna run away what do you think
4033s	are these uh I think they are rapid
4034s	Heavies aren't they uh I'm sorry yeah on
4038s	the uh authoris and the on The
4040s	Nighthawks they look like hams to me oh
4042s	no I haven't had a chance to look at the
4044s	author so I just looked at them oh no
4046s	tell me this is a ham sandwich
4049s	it that might okay this is gonna be very
4052s	interesting then so they're going to
4053s	potentially Rush oh
4055s	okay so uh that everything's out the
4058s	window now boys
4059s	I could be completely wrong though they
4061s	could be uh HML as uh uh let's take the
4064s	carpet lights they're definitely not
4066s	rapid lights they're either HML or ham I
4068s	can't tell which so uh okay here we go
4071s	The Party Starts Now
4077s	okay yeah looking at what they said in
4079s	local saying witness me this is
4081s	definitely a ham rush I don't need to
4083s	look at the ships anymore no that's a
4084s	ham Rush 10 seconds to a match underway
4086s	we're gonna watch them go running and
4087s	screaming I think
4089s	yeah who do you think's gonna have the
4091s	edge here because like these uh I'm
4092s	again Navy issues they have the bonus
4094s	new range that you can mute out pretty
4096s	well but they're not really going to
4098s	shut down like the weapon systems from
4099s	the Exiles and the offices and they're
4102s	coming together there's too much dam
4104s	look at that look at that attack bar
4105s	from rote there's not a single blast
4107s	shipped here and the attack bar is
4108s	girthy the control buffer 905 tokens is
4111s	quite nice but unfortunately I think
4113s	once they get on top of these
4114s	battleships it's not going to matter
4116s	actually see damage onto an arbitrator
4117s	first just keeping an eye on targets
4119s	yeah no there we go they're going on to
4121s	kante in the Army and the Armageddon
4123s	Navy and just watch how fast this guy's
4124s	gonna go down
4125s	Jack door verdeck is already gone
4127s	however Road capella are in now they're
4129s	putting some DPS on compassos uh failure
4132s	we're also seeing a bit of DPS go on to
4134s	the Sentinel as well where it looks like
4136s	Hall County is the main Primary in the
4138s	armaged Navy issue there's a lot of
4140s	split damage here for some reason though
4143s	yeah I'm not sure what's going on there
4144s	I I'll just keep an eye who's shooting
4146s	the failure
4148s	I think fairly is just uh DPS drones on
4150s	him at the moment that is not split DPS
4151s	that is just a drone way when the valley
4153s	forcing his uh teammate to try and save
4156s	him
4157s	uh psycho hexanals uh office is down now
4160s	but Hawaii Kanti is in half armor that
4162s	navitus as well can passo is also pretty
4165s	low it's really interesting I think
4167s	you're forcing the uh Deacon of Andy
4169s	astronaut either to save the Thalia or
4172s	like don't just don't rep her the
4173s	Armageddon Navy issue which has just
4175s	five ham ships shooting it so that's a
4178s	pretty pretty interesting tactic it
4179s	looks like it's working for them kind of
4181s	right now though
4183s	interesting thing as well is that the
4184s	rapid Heavies has managed to kill off
4185s	the uh authors of cycler but I think the
4188s	Osprey they should be able to say the
4189s	Osprey Navy I think these all these
4191s	armaged names will have to reload
4192s	whereas the ham sandwich will not reload
4194s	it will just keep on pounding the ship
4196s	as they do take down the Thalia so they
4198s	have broken half of the lodgy frigates I
4200s	suspect they'll put the drones on the
4201s	Deacon perhaps or maybe on the
4202s	Armageddon Navy
4204s	yeah so now the uh now the navitus is
4206s	down it looks like any astronaut is
4208s	going to have the drones on him and they
4209s	will be able to get through this Deacon
4211s	probably but have they lost too much at
4213s	this point I mean they still do have two
4215s	Nighthawk strike Navy they're two
4217s	caracal navies and the Osprey but they
4219s	have lost like a lot of their DPS now I
4221s	do think they're going to kill the
4222s	Armageddon Navy issue probably the
4223s	Deacon but they're probably gonna lose
4225s	at least the character Navy issue I
4227s	think before the Armageddon Navy goes
4229s	down they might lose character Navy I
4231s	was surprised they managed to get
4232s	through the Osprey Navy before but um
4233s	honestly if they get rid of the
4234s	Armageddon maybe they might be able to
4236s	hold there because they still got their
4237s	Osprey on grid who was definitely
4239s	helping him out he's getting neutered a
4240s	little bit but you should better keep
4241s	wrapping his team at the moment but I
4244s	keep saying that and then things keep
4245s	dying can you please stop Elmo please
4247s	don't die the armaged Navy goes down to
4249s	another down to one left
4251s	as Elmo's about to die he's already in
4253s	Hull
4254s	yeah so I'm just gonna go down but so is
4256s	Angie astronaut which will get rid of
4257s	all of the logistics from the nft side
4260s	we still have Chadwick alive he's not
4263s	going to get reps anymore but he's
4264s	probably gonna at least take down at
4266s	least a character Navy possibly
4267s	something else down before he dies I
4269s	imagine and then it's going to be
4271s	damnation that's the Navy issue versus
4273s	two Nighthawks potentially in an osprey
4278s	sounds like the Vixen Navy tried to go
4280s	over to kill off the Osprey I believe
4281s	he's actually just new to him at the
4282s	moment which double check that
4284s	yeah it looks like the Vex the Navy is
4286s	actually newting the Osprey out the sky
4288s	breaker's trying to scream off but
4289s	nothing he can do about that so it's
4291s	going to be a race now the Osprey Navy
4293s	is not out of the fight but he's pretty
4295s	close so now it's just going to be a
4296s	race between Chadwick and well honestly
4298s	most of the uh Road Capel team
4301s	it's really interesting that the Vex and
4303s	navy issue doesn't have any drones at
4304s	all I mean that's probably one of the
4306s	main upgrades from going from a vexer to
4308s	a Vex and Eve issue right it's getting
4309s	those uh Stronger medium hybrid turret
4312s	uh damage bonus as well as the tracking
4316s	Sentinel goes down that's actually going
4318s	to help quite a bit these Nighthawks
4320s	probably been gimped the entire match
4321s	their application being hurt by the uh
4324s	Sentinel so maybe they start putting out
4326s	even more damage you see the Drake Navy
4328s	being shot next shadwick's doing great
4330s	work picking off the better DPS but less
4332s	tank ships slow but surely ripping this
4334s	team apart at the end it might just be
4336s	two Nighthawks versus a Navy Armageddon
4338s	if he can survive long enough but I
4339s	don't think he will I think they're
4341s	going to break through Chadwick here and
4342s	that there is honestly going to be the
4343s	end of the match I think because what
4345s	DPS does magnified tokens have left
4348s	they do still have the damnation and the
4350s	vaccinated issue but as you uh pointed
4352s	out the vaccinated issue is a full new
4354s	fit so he doesn't have turret DPS he
4357s	only has drone DPS there's like 400 DPS
4358s	and the damnation is probably about 600
4361s	so yeah the Armageddon Navy issue is
4362s	gone Alice is about to go down as well
4364s	but it is still two Nighthawks and an
4367s	osprey although the Osprey might be
4368s	neuted out at this point but I think two
4370s	Nighthawk speeds of a damnation and a
4373s	Vex Navy issue and an arbitrary honesty
4374s	yeah even if the Osprey was dead I think
4377s	they'd still have us with two Nighthawks
4378s	that is a lot of tank and great DPS
4379s	platforms all you have to do is kill for
4381s	damnation in the next Navy in their
4383s	match is entirely over Alice is slowly
4385s	dying in the direct Navy he's done his
4387s	job in survival if the pontifex just got
4388s	deleted holy crap
4393s	well now they're doing damage to the
4395s	osprey
4396s	yeah
4398s	it is a ham damnation so it is going to
4401s	have some DPS but damnations are still
4403s	probably only putting out maybe 600 DPS
4405s	total Nighthawks are probably doing
4407s	about double his DTS they are taking
4410s	down the Osprey now though um which is
4412s	interesting uh the vaccinators yeah like
4416s	I think he was probably knitted out to
4418s	be honest with the Vex and navy issue on
4419s	him
4420s	oh so he said it's a ham damnation right
4422s	so it's a ham Nation
4424s	thank you thank you I feel very smart
4426s	for saying what someone else has
4427s	probably said a thousand times
4431s	yeah as long as you don't make any jokes
4433s	about one of them that whole character
4434s	names
4438s	I I don't want to get myself kicked out
4440s	so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut on that
4441s	they are slowly killing off the Osprey
4443s	but I don't think it's going to do
4444s	anything of them at the moment these
4445s	nigh hooks are just gonna honestly just
4447s	dominate this match in this point
4448s	onwards
4450s	is there an angle where uh where the nft
4453s	team can maybe kite it out like the
4455s	arbitrating vaccine issue don't have to
4457s	be at zero they can just put drones on
4459s	people and sort of burn away maybe
4461s	extend the match with an mjd Beacon and
4463s	try and take down one of The Nighthawks
4465s	or they'll get a word no because a
4467s	skybreaker is still on grit and there's
4469s	a great tackle ship in this scenario
4471s	yeah and the damnation is also tackled
4473s	and I think even if the Vex and navy and
4476s	the arbitrator cut away the damnation is
4478s	tackled so it's gonna die and I the next
4481s	issue an arbitrator are less points than
4483s	one of them Nighthawks so
4486s	yeah it looks like yeah well done to
4488s	broke Capel here uh Nighthawk Rush lives
4491s	on except it's not going to rush without
4493s	the usual support
4494s	we saw no Loki no hyena these Nighthawks
4497s	were left on their own with their uh DPS
4499s	wings so this is honestly great to see
4501s	Nighthawks kind of uh break the mold
4503s	sort of
4505s	but so yeah nanofiber did a great job
4507s	here but I just feel like they kind of
4508s	uh well got rushed down to let's be
4510s	honest
4511s	yeah it was a super close match
4512s	especially at the starter to really like
4514s	uh Nano fibers were actually winning
4516s	because they killed about free ships
4518s	before they started getting their own
4519s	ones killed but the ham Rush was just so
4522s	powerful they just went for the high-end
4524s	ships the armaged Navy issues and just
4526s	went straight through them
4528s	yeah and they also didn't make any make
4530s	any bad Target calls either they went
4531s	for the ships that they could kill
4533s	quickly and remove DPS
4535s	but Nighthawk is slowly going down I'm
4537s	actually kind of surprised
4540s	that's you should not be going down that
4543s	fast
4544s	it looks like there's a bit of split DPS
4546s	here we see the Vex and navy issue of 10
4548s	arrest is webbed and yes oh it just
4550s	broke the web now and uh ovix damnation
4554s	is not taking damage so it looked like
4556s	maybe there was like a bit of a split
4557s	call to maybe go after the the
4560s	vaccinated issue which broke tackle his
4562s	webbed again now but if this makes a
4564s	Navy issue can extend it out to the
4566s	point where one of The Nighthawks dies
4568s	what the hell what in the world how's
4570s	this notebook about to die to a
4571s	damnation wait I'm sorry hold on
4575s	sister ham Nation baby
4578s	oh my God I honestly did not think the
4581s	handmation was even [ __ ] but mildly
4583s	functional but here we go he's actually
4584s	gonna kill the Nighthawk and at that
4585s	point is this I think his team's
4587s	actually going to be ahead there that's
4589s	not looking good now for rogue well the
4591s	time yeah the time is on road now I
4593s	think they're gonna get this next Navy
4594s	issue but crucially a damnation of the
4597s	arbitrator is more points than a
4599s	Nighthawk and a skybreaker so if this
4601s	arbitrator can make sure he just doesn't
4602s	get tackled in this damn thing survive
4604s	rhoten has already knows this and is
4607s	already tackling the arbitrator in that
4608s	skybreaker a really good call there
4610s	they're still trying to kill that victim
4611s	but but scrammed he has survived he
4614s	escaped he's free he's run away oh my
4618s	God this is this I will think this is
4619s	gonna be over but it's gone the entire
4621s	other way and now wrote I've got a time
4623s	limit they need to catches back to Navy
4625s	and catch the arbitrator within what is
4627s	it a minute
4628s	this one this might have been a disaster
4630s	they pulled the sky breaker off for 10
4633s	to go on to the arbitrade it was really
4634s	smart but 10 wasn't finished off and he
4636s	got away from the Nighthawk and now he's
4638s	just cutting away he's gonna survive I
4640s	think he can survive outside ham range
4642s	and now I think Roca Belmont actually
4644s	lose this the Skype they're about to go
4646s	down and the noise can save this you can
4649s	spam all you want you cannot do bring
4650s	enough mademoiselles to save this match
4652s	this has been an absolute upset from
4654s	nanofiber tokens oh Road Capel obviously
4657s	had this match as far as I'm concerned I
4658s	don't know how they kind of just thrown
4660s	it away a bit
4661s	it's not over yet it looks like the
4664s	Nighthawk is gonna be able to kill 10
4666s	he's pretty close to him he hasn't wept
4668s	again 30 seconds I I don't see how they
4670s	can kill it I'll be in 30 seconds
4673s	I think 10 is going down here but you're
4676s	not killing a damnation of arbitrade in
4677s	20 seconds so I think this might be nfts
4681s	as long as as long as it's no like
4682s	crucial piloting mistakes at the end
4684s	here
4685s	my channel points no
4691s	I think is over
4694s	oh my God that is an amazing match so
4696s	then if I was like is clawing it back in
4698s	the end Bravo I I'm gonna go back to the
4701s	studio and see what they think because
4702s	that is amazing
4704s	That's All She Wrote
4722s	[Music]
4725s	[Applause]
4731s	[Music]
4737s	thank you
4749s	[Applause]
4762s	connected Channel switched well it would
4765s	have been an easy fight right but guess
4766s	what dude I'm not seeing it people can't
4768s	get together
4774s	crash our enemies your temps are
4777s	completely damned out Crush I'm dumped
4779s	out I'm downtown you don't like Travis
4781s	boys
4788s	I'm jammed
4791s	nanofiber tokens that are proving that
4793s	nfts can have value as they eject
4796s	rotcapel from the tournament along with
4798s	over 1 million Channel points uh for all
4800s	of you there on Twitch you mostly
4802s	predicted that it was going to be a
4803s	solid rock appellate Victory 79 to 21.
4806s	unfortunately you were all wrong and uh
4808s	all those Channel points have gone good
4810s	by that was an incredibly exciting match
4812s	we thought it was going to go back and
4813s	forth back and forward I'm joined on the
4815s	desk by Jin tan and CCP Swift Jin tan
4818s	you had your head in your hands at one
4819s	point uh take me through what was going
4821s	on uh yeah that was just an incredible
4823s	match there we saw the kind of Advantage
4825s	go between the teams back and forth and
4828s	it eventually came down to
4830s	um at the start of it really good drone
4832s	usage from Road Coppell you saw that
4834s	they were splitting their damage using
4836s	those light drones to harass the
4838s	logistics frigates whilst then applying
4840s	their main DPS to the Armageddon Navy
4842s	issue and just forcing a split decision
4845s	the uh the team of nanuary tokens
4848s	decided to keep their Armageddon Navy
4850s	alive for as long as possible and then
4853s	later on in the match they did much the
4855s	same thing putting all of their light
4856s	drones on that skybreaker they
4858s	recognized that it was the only piece of
4859s	tackle the only thing that could go out
4861s	and grab something
4863s	um left on the road capower side and
4865s	once that was taken care of there was no
4867s	way that that range stamped Nighthawk
4869s	could do absolutely anything to actually
4871s	win the match he was just running around
4873s	spewing missiles that you know ran out
4876s	of fuel about two seconds after leaving
4877s	him
4878s	and CSP Swift do you think uh like where
4880s	did it kind of go wrong for road like
4882s	they started to lose it could they have
4883s	pulled it back uh it's really hard to go
4886s	back against uh when you start losing
4888s	your Logistics like that I think if they
4890s	had the chance a do-over I think uh the
4893s	Road Coppell side would be pretty happy
4895s	and pretty confident uh in their
4896s	execution they do a lot of things the
4898s	same way they just maybe kind of spread
4900s	out a little bit more uh take out some
4902s	more linchpins a little bit earlier on
4904s	that arbitrator went untouched uh
4907s	through the match and it was just
4909s	wreaking havoc against those uh
4910s	Nighthawks really really annoying when
4913s	you're damped down and as Jen was saying
4915s	your missiles just go boop boop
4918s	is that the technical term yeah yeah
4919s	that's exactly how that works it has a
4921s	sound in game now where it just goes if
4924s	you're uh it's disrupted yeah uh one
4927s	other thing 10 uh in the vexer Navy
4929s	issue lived way too long uh right wrote
4932s	uh kind of did that cool guys don't look
4934s	at the explosions maneuver uh and 10 was
4937s	able to kind of sneak away uh if you
4939s	want to know how he did that you can
4940s	always listen to the less than 10
4941s	podcast small gang podcast uh it's a
4944s	cool cool podcast it is a cool podcast
4946s	I've got one of the little wooden chips
4948s	he gives uh the guests have come on his
4950s	show so I recommend it uh if you're not
4952s	you've not got one you didn't give me
4953s	one what the heck it's a entry to the
4956s	kill Club I think he said as well well
4957s	don't listen to that podcast uh it's a
4960s	garbage podcast no I'm just kidding it's
4962s	a great podcast I probably have one of
4963s	those one things I'm a good at stealing
4965s	swag from players nice let's take a look
4967s	at the patterns for our next match Dark
4968s	Side versus paper numbers and see what
4970s	these teams are choosing uh not to face
4974s	so dark side Banning out the Scimitar
4976s	the curse and the balgorn paper number
4978s	is Banning out the shack EOS and orthos
4980s	Jin tan what are you making of these
4981s	bands here yeah these dark side bands
4983s	are very similar to uh to what we've
4985s	seen in the past from them Darkseid
4986s	targeting off that Scimitar making sure
4988s	that there's no real potential for a
4990s	heavy mic uh a heavy missile kite comp
4992s	which we saw paper numbers I believe
4994s	lose with in their first game
4997s	um whereas paper numbers are just
4998s	throwing out a couple of power bands
4999s	there they're taking out the EOS which
5001s	is the central linchpin of the Drone
5002s	kiting comp the Le Shack which has been
5004s	very very powerful in two Battleship
5006s	control and then the authoris which is
5008s	useful both in kite and in ham Rush
5010s	which is something we've never really
5011s	seen before it used in before but has
5013s	performed very very admirably it's one
5015s	of the highest win rate comps in this
5017s	tournament so far yeah obviously that
5018s	curse and that balgar and very powerful
5021s	muting ships and for those of you who
5022s	maybe are a bit newer to Eve online CP
5024s	Swift can you take us through uh energy
5026s	centralization uh yeah as you can see
5028s	here once you're in optimal range these
5030s	energy neutralizers will remove
5032s	capacitor from the target Chip it'll
5035s	cost some capacitor on your own chip but
5037s	not nearly as much as it takes away so
5039s	as the match goes longer and longer
5042s	these ships will start losing capacitor
5044s	and that gives your team a late game
5046s	Advantage as you can see there are
5048s	things you can do to circumvent this
5050s	right you can use a cap injector you can
5052s	use a capacitor battery which kind of
5054s	sends some of that bad juju of energy
5056s	sucking back to your opponent but yeah
5059s	as these matches go on it is very very
5061s	painful and hard to deal with I love
5064s	those bands from faffy waffy those are
5065s	like very like very faffy waffy bands
5068s	right he he really strongly values the
5070s	curse thinks it's a great platform for
5072s	the points and it is incredibly Point
5074s	efficient uh the Scimitar pretty much
5077s	kicks out any uh Shield Rush team with
5080s	like obviously you can't take uh
5082s	anything uh major outside of logic
5084s	frigates uh and then just the balgorn
5086s	because you know no one wants to deal
5087s	with those newts and webs gen time we
5090s	don't normally see
5091s	um the pilgrim get much use here but we
5093s	were talking about this last week and
5095s	you think the Pokemon is a bit
5096s	underrated in some of these situations
5097s	why might that be so the program doesn't
5099s	have quite the same ability to actually
5101s	impact the capital of their game as the
5103s	cursed does that's what really makes it
5105s	a unique ship however those TDS and GDs
5108s	are incredibly potent they allow you to
5110s	control where your opponents are able to
5112s	position themselves on the grid and also
5114s	has the ability to turn off the shacks
5116s	and stuff and very very effectively
5118s	however the Sentinel and other similar
5120s	ships kind of fill that role a little
5122s	better uh I just I think we'll see at
5125s	least one team try and get tricky bring
5126s	the program and probably find out maybe
5129s	why it isn't used quite as often
5130s	somewhere down the line in this
5132s	tournament
5133s	so dark side obviously a very
5135s	experienced team
5136s	um this year CTP Swift are they going to
5138s	be able to pull this right over paper
5140s	numbers here
5141s	I think so I mean this team is stacked
5144s	with talent I think they probably fly
5145s	under the radar for a lot of people uh
5148s	you might not think that they're like a
5150s	top two Contender but they absolutely
5152s	are fatty waffy one of the most
5153s	experienced captains in the at an
5156s	incredibly solid Theory crafter and they
5158s	actually picked up a few key members
5160s	from the vigra reloaded team so uh you
5162s	know stacked with Talent stacked with
5164s	area crafting this is a scary team to
5166s	come up against and Jin tan who would
5169s	you put your uh your Twitch Channel
5170s	points behind this time uh given that we
5172s	haven't played darkseid's interview I
5173s	put my money on Dark Side excellent uh
5176s	let's go to the arena and find out as we
5178s	go to Dark Side versus paper numbers
5185s	and welcome back to the arena we have a
5187s	very interesting match again we have I
5189s	think it actually is a form of fly
5190s	killer because that's definitely rapid
5191s	light Navy Ospreys this time from dark
5193s	side and then we have kind of the same
5196s	thing but a bit more confused from paper
5197s	numbers we have a lot of missile ships
5199s	today and all of them bring in Shield
5200s	this is going to be very interesting
5202s	what do you think about this one so Tony
5203s	I'm really happy to see a raven Navy
5205s	issue that's such a such a great shift
5208s	out of left fielder for sure it's gonna
5210s	be interesting we also see Osprey versus
5212s	basilisk here so that again is just I'm
5215s	loving the choices these teams have made
5216s	I keep saying the same it's bloody
5218s	interesting to see what they're doing
5220s	I wonder which one's gonna come out on
5221s	top of this one this is awesome I need
5223s	to interrupt you for something very
5224s	important here the Raven native shoot is
5227s	torpedo fitted
5228s	uh tons of damage
5231s	uh
5233s	um I feel like he's come to the wrong
5235s	Arena
5237s	I feel like he's in the wrong place okay
5240s	it's also tough here
5243s	we might see some mjd plays I'm actually
5245s	getting very excited now come on I want
5247s	to see an MGD play with torpedo
5249s	battleships
5253s	so yeah we're gonna see a ton of DPS and
5255s	if you look at the uh oh the DPS bar
5258s	doesn't look that impressive on the uh
5260s	fancy UI but I assume that they're gonna
5263s	do a ton of DPS
5265s	oh my God torpedo battleships versus
5269s	what I think is basically fly killer
5271s	this is going to be very very
5274s	interesting I suspect we can see the
5276s	support when getting nuked very quickly
5278s	it's going to question if these
5279s	battleships can get on target they need
5281s	to grab something anything hold it down
5284s	and rip it apart
5285s	yeah crucially yeah crucially there's
5288s	not really a lot of great targets for
5289s	Torpedoes on their team I mean sure you
5291s	can kill the bar guest on the Drake Navy
5293s	issue but everything else is not really
5296s	going to apply that well like dark side
5298s	have invested a lot of their points into
5299s	their support Wing here with the you
5301s	know jackdaws stalk Osprey Navy issues
5304s	so they might actually have a hard time
5306s	applying with these torpedoes and
5309s	they're actually running away initially
5310s	they're not running straight they're
5311s	actually running back to mjd because
5312s	they may almost definitely be trying the
5314s	mjd play here now also trying to maybe
5316s	uh break up these rapid light clips from
5318s	their opposing team make them reload and
5320s	maybe find opportunity here but yeah the
5322s	team's backing up the rapid light flight
5324s	team is currently just doing the usual
5326s	thing of spiraling in
5329s	it's interesting that Darkseid bought
5331s	three Jack doors because they're playing
5333s	a lot of points for them
5335s	three Jack doors wow yeah that is uh
5339s	that definitely balloon they cost quite
5341s	a bit but it looks like that comp looks
5342s	pretty solid even with that uh that cost
5345s	if you've got a they've got a Splurge
5346s	for a basilisk in this comp
5348s	yeah paper numbers are now all sort of
5350s	congregating around this MGD Beacon
5353s	although dark side looks fairly out of
5356s	range so it might be hard for them to
5358s	pick off anything here we'll have to see
5360s	if they decide to go in
5363s	just keeping an eye out it looks like
5365s	potentially just keeping an eye the
5367s	Bargas might be a spot they can mjd it
5369s	but it looks like at the moment they're
5370s	just lining up
5371s	yeah okay there we go mjd here we go
5374s	they're all going in
5376s	that's what Russian I think did in Anger
5377s	games he was just constantly mjding and
5379s	he goes being pro at typical again is
5382s	doing it once again
5386s	but not quite close enough at the about
5388s	30k off I believe
5390s	I'm watching this swivel and bifrost who
5392s	maybe try and go for a tackler but
5394s	they're still up at the uh Beacon they
5395s	have not jumped down with them yet
5397s	there's their jump now they've finally
5398s	arrived but I think that might have been
5400s	a bit too late the support needed to
5401s	arrive first as the Osprey is now
5403s	honestly about to die
5405s	yeah Park Bank mjd down with his team
5408s	but he's just taking so much damage from
5410s	from everything here that he looks like
5412s	he might go down him he's not he's an
5414s	armor already and uh paper numbers
5416s	aren't really getting anything for it
5417s	they're about to tackle the bug I think
5419s	they're getting pretty close to a sky
5421s	killer and uh hold on are they not going
5425s	Sky killer now moving off the Drake
5426s	Maybe
5429s	I see a caracal Navy issue was pretty
5431s	close but I think he got defensively
5433s	scrounged off of it there is a drake
5435s	Navy issue with Pandy who has been
5436s	caught who's like a little bit behind
5438s	not sure if that's a tactical decision
5440s	from them to just let them have the
5442s	Drake Navy issue and so that the Bargas
5445s	can escape here 's the power of a fly
5447s	killer setup as well they've deleted
5449s	this couple in seconds they're
5450s	destroying the bifrost the Osprey can be
5452s	hit very easily rapid lights and Rapid
5453s	Heavies as well so they've been able to
5455s	pull apart of some of the small side of
5457s	this comp already
5459s	and we're waiting for a doctor to try
5461s	and make something they either need to
5463s	try and make something out of this at
5464s	the moment
5465s	I'm gonna pay the numbers lost their uh
5467s	buy Frost now which is unfortunate they
5469s	are putting pretty good DPS into these
5471s	Jack doors but it's getting wrapped up
5472s	because uh they they still have the but
5475s	the Basilisk alive and he's relatively
5477s	uh untouched here well it's taken a lot
5480s	of damage now though
5482s	what from he has been caught by
5484s	Nighthawk by uh jelfie yeah you're right
5488s	yeah that's just in the night hook I
5489s	managed to get tackle on the bassless
5491s	they'll try and go for the logic trade
5492s	here but I think even then it's going to
5493s	be an uphill battle I don't think the
5495s	battle actually the Raven Navy can
5497s	definitely hit him so yeah they are
5498s	bringing the DPS onto this uh onto this
5500s	battle as the Bargas I believe has been
5502s	screened or is he screaming
5505s	he's screening he's got the Drake Navy
5507s	held down so they're going to go for the
5508s	battles then the direct Navy they could
5509s	honestly keep put they could pull this
5510s	back they've caught the uh the core ship
5513s	for their opposing comp and then they've
5515s	picked off one of the belt the DPS ships
5516s	as well this is honestly starting to
5518s	head towards darkseid's way
5522s	I I think Darkseid have control of this
5525s	match pretty much like if they lose the
5526s	Basilisk it's still two Osprey Navy
5529s	issues to drink Navy in the bogus versus
5532s	Fleet Nighthawk Raven Navy Bargas with
5535s	with dark side having more support
5538s	I think they need to keep this cycle
5540s	alive the CEO CEO is the last tackle
5542s	ship left on this grid they need to keep
5544s	him alive if he dies they've got
5545s	basically two slow battleships and a
5547s	Nighthawk who's also slow trying to
5549s	catch fly killer that is going to be a
5551s	painful experience but the cyclic will
5552s	die
5553s	that is going to make it even again even
5555s	harder yeah panty Pandy died pretty fast
5558s	I I guess it's gonna it's gonna depend
5560s	on whether they can catch anything looks
5562s	like the Jack door is taking damage from
5564s	something and it looks like it's gonna
5565s	die I'm not sure what is hitting him I'm
5567s	just keep an eye if no one tackles
5569s	rifles I believe he will be able to
5570s	tackle the bogus of Sky killer he's
5572s	pretty fast in his own he might be able
5574s	to catch him I'll just keep an eye out
5576s	stuff like the song bringer the
5577s	Stormbreaker doing anything nope he's
5578s	running away jackdaw's being nuked this
5580s	this is surprising I did not expect to
5582s	be able to do this much with this comp
5584s	yeah this Jack though is dying to uh see
5587s	some combat drones although I think they
5589s	actually moved off of him now that the
5592s	Bargas is in pretty big danger I think
5595s	Nighthawk got the tackle I believe on
5597s	the burger soon
5599s	come on you're so close you're so close
5601s	I said it and then he didn't get it I'm
5604s	so sad
5607s	arrival since Vargas is uh having a lot
5610s	of trouble here as well uh so and I
5612s	think if Ryerson goes down it's
5614s	completely over for uh for paper numbers
5616s	very much agreed yeah I believe nope
5620s	never mind I was about to say sky
5621s	killers on reload but he is still
5623s	shooting rifles just holding out in the
5625s	like into armor now he's he might he
5628s	could potentially survive in Hull but I
5629s	I don't know if that's actually going to
5630s	work
5631s	they're chasing this uh Sky killer
5634s	buggies with everything they've got and
5635s	it's just not going to be enough I think
5640s	no
5642s	he's he's just cutting them out I think
5644s	he's faster than everything and he's
5646s	doing a great job of just using the
5648s	defensive scram to keep them like Hawk
5650s	off him whenever it gets close enough
5654s	oh no there we go okay so I think at
5657s	that point darkseid's lost the oh
5659s	sometimes people always lost the last
5660s	tool in the shed that nothing they can
5663s	really do now this bug will control that
5664s	Raven Navy all day long
5666s	that is so I'm so sad for that mjd play
5669s	was definitely ballsy but it's just
5671s	nothing you can do
5672s	Striker is taking a little damage for
5675s	some reason I think the Navy Raven is in
5676s	range it it the the Bargas is not
5679s	tackled but I believe he's in torpedo
5681s	range and he is actually taking quite a
5683s	bit damage it's possible that Sky killer
5685s	might actually die here
5687s	if he does I will cringe internally
5689s	because there is no way he should be
5690s	getting shot by this raven Navy unless
5692s	he wants to he should have all the speed
5694s	in the world to outrun this ship and
5695s	even outrun the Nighthawk
5697s	and see the Stormbreaker coming actually
5698s	stormberg has gone in and tackled The
5700s	Nighthawks and now that hook could
5701s	definitely not uh chase after him
5704s	so yeah that's that's not where it comes
5706s	in at the last moment tackles uh one of
5708s	the two ships remaining so you can't
5709s	chase off the Bargas
5711s	I personally would have liked him to
5713s	come in a bit earlier but looking at how
5714s	quickly his tank is going down maybe
5716s	that was probably a very smart idea
5721s	yeah and dogs that have really good
5722s	positioning here like the bar guest is
5724s	moving away from the Raven Eve issue and
5727s	you can see the stalk Jack doing
5728s	Offspring Eve issue kind of moving into
5730s	a position where they can screen for him
5732s	if they need to if the Raven is like
5735s	going to get a scram on him so I think
5736s	this is definitely darksides now at this
5738s	point
5739s	absolutely yeah
5741s	I I I have a bit of a bit of a bit of a
5744s	fan of riferson's work both Hunger Games
5746s	and in here the man loves his mjds and
5748s	he's been honestly quite terrifying with
5750s	him but bringing a torpedo Cup against
5752s	fly killer that is a hard selling amount
5755s	of the pilot
5757s	yeah I think they were hoping for
5759s	Darkseid to bring out the flagship
5760s	Armageddon and you know bring a heavy
5762s	armor comp and they probably would have
5764s	had a really good shot of killing that
5765s	with this
5768s	definitely would have made it hurt if
5769s	nothing else Raven Navy's now being put
5771s	into Hull so he's not along for the
5773s	world unfortunately
5775s	very sad
5781s	it is it is a great shift I know I'm
5785s	glad to see they got changed I actually
5786s	need to go fly one again now because
5788s	they actually might be useful
5791s	but with the Raven Navy going down okay
5795s	never mind rest in peace there we go now
5798s	he's down Bravo to Dark Side well flown
5801s	and well that will go back to Studio see
5802s	what they think
5825s	[Music]
5828s	thank you
5833s	[Music]
5843s	[Music]
5855s	foreign
5864s	[Music]
5873s	[Music]
5892s	foreign
5893s	[Applause]
5895s	[Music]
5897s	[Applause]
5905s	[Music]
5909s	numbers there they're gonna have to find
5911s	a new accountant as that one has filed
5912s	them straight into the shredder as they
5914s	are now eliminated from Alliance
5915s	tournament 18 but in a incredibly hard
5918s	fault match the that CP Swift that one
5920s	went back and forth back and forward we
5922s	were standing there talking about like
5923s	wow what an incredible match we were
5925s	watching it go and you finish with I
5927s	have a raven story uh yeah I do have a
5929s	raven sword but yeah all these matches
5930s	today have been incredible I mean you
5932s	see these teams fighting for their life
5934s	quite literally uh and Darkseid just
5936s	kind of eeking that one out uh but
5937s	earlier before earlier today csb
5940s	convicts seems to be BNI uh because last
5942s	week's meta had a lot of caldori rush so
5944s	we were standing by the window in our
5946s	room kind of like rehearsing caldari
5948s	ship names and stuff like that and a
5950s	little Raven flew by and gave us like a
5951s	side eye and we're just like yo your
5953s	ship is garbage in the meta go away and
5955s	that Raven was super mad uh so I'm
5958s	pretty sure that Raven's gonna try and
5959s	kill us so I'm really really happy that
5962s	paper numbers took a raven so at least I
5964s	can say yeah there was some Raven he did
5965s	real good and I'll just give him like a
5967s	little wink and we'll live
5969s	oh wow thank you the fates of Our Lives
5972s	hang in the balance thanks uh to that
5974s	paper numbers Raven well they are
5975s	literally saved Our Lives all of us the
5978s	number of curses in this Alliance
5979s	tournament is seems to be increasing by
5981s	the moment Dark Side of course won
5982s	because we didn't play the uh the
5984s	interview gentan that you have uh
5985s	produced by the way again thank you for
5986s	producing those they were super cool I'm
5988s	sure the teams are now very regretful uh
5991s	having seen the uh the results they've
5992s	been having but before we just get
5994s	completely off topic let's talk about a
5996s	little bit more about that match one of
5997s	the really cool things we saw there was
5999s	uh paper numbers making excellent use of
6001s	the MGD beacons in the arena they all
6003s	got together on that Beacon they were
6004s	facing a team that they couldn't catch
6005s	and they started to propel themselves
6007s	around uh multiple times eventually
6009s	managing to lock down on uh the Basilisk
6011s	with a navy Drake I think I can't
6013s	remember talk to me about this yeah so
6016s	as you said there are nine mjd beacons
6019s	um kind of situated all around the all
6021s	around the edges of the arena and these
6023s	will allow you to fling yourselves at
6025s	100 kilometers in whatever Direction
6026s	your ship is facing and it's a very
6028s	risky maneuver because all it takes is
6031s	for you to not angle yourself correctly
6033s	you can get yourselves in all sorts of
6035s	hot water or if in the worst case
6037s	scenario you can actually just run into
6039s	the object of the beacon bounce yourself
6041s	backwards and just jettison yourself
6043s	completely out of the Arena which
6044s	happened a couple of times when I was
6046s	practicing
6047s	um uh but there we saw
6050s	um paper numbers use it really
6051s	effectively managing to get that
6052s	Nighthawk on top of the Basilisk and
6054s	that really gave them their chance to
6056s	get back into the match you know they
6057s	didn't look at the comp a kind of uh the
6060s	comp match up and go okay throw our
6062s	hands up we've lost you know this is an
6064s	80 20. let's just take the L and go out
6066s	for beers as soon as possible no they
6068s	really fought for that match and and
6070s	you've got to hand it to them they did
6071s	excellently
6073s	um I think all it would have taken is a
6075s	couple of uh a couple of bits of
6077s	mispiloting or maybe even the ec300s
6079s	that they'd managed to throw on the
6080s	Basilisk taking effect a little earlier
6082s	and and they could have walked away with
6083s	a win there yeah they could have indeed
6086s	but unfortunately they did not now uh
6088s	CCP Swift as you said so many good
6090s	matches uh thus far today is there any
6092s	matches today you're really looking
6093s	forward to seeing we're coming up to the
6095s	winners bracket very shortly
6096s	this is gonna be tricky um the tuskers
6099s	match uh later today is going to be
6100s	incredibly good uh those two teams they
6103s	could easily be in the finals in fact a
6105s	lot of people are predicting those two
6106s	teams to be in the finals uh ever since
6108s	my team got knocked out I have picked
6110s	the brave newbies or the brave
6111s	Collective is my team uh very sorry to
6114s	all the brave fans out there I might
6115s	just be cursing you all to Doom uh but
6118s	I'd really like to see them go far I
6119s	think they're an awesome team uh they're
6121s	a great story in Evil 9 as well they
6123s	started as a bunch of little newbies and
6124s	atrons that would undoc and Zerg you uh
6127s	their motto of like fun for hour fun per
6129s	hour uh good stuff I'd like to see them
6132s	go far I would too for somewhat the same
6134s	reasons I specifically I enjoyed earlier
6137s	on today I could hear giggling coming
6138s	from the corner and uh CP Swift was
6140s	sitting there working Ms pain expertly
6143s	to produce some high quality memes he
6145s	then spent the next half hour just
6147s	looking at it and then giggling more you
6149s	were laughing at your room this is a
6150s	great great meme yeah it's like a c plus
6153s	meme but I made it myself so I made it
6154s	better uh I was thinking about you can
6157s	go to twitter.com CCP underscore Swift
6160s	and see my dank meme uh it's okay yeah I
6165s	give it a solid eight out of seven uh so
6168s	let us look forward to the next match up
6169s	which is going between boundary experts
6171s	and Deepwater Hooligans so we are still
6172s	in the elimination bracket both these
6174s	teams have already played and they have
6175s	to play a game so they didn't have much
6177s	turnaround time uh between their last
6179s	matches uh which obviously they won
6181s	tickets remain in the tournament
6183s	um I think we have the bands available
6184s	that's what I'm currently waiting for
6186s	here they are
6187s	okay so boundary experts banning at the
6189s	balgar and the curse the Nighthawk
6191s	Deepwater Hooligans Banning out the
6192s	Nighthawk the Griffin the Kitsune saying
6194s	hey ECM no thank you uh the trickle
6197s	bands the Scimitar and The Vindicator
6199s	Jin tan uh Griffin and the kitsuni uh
6203s	they are really scared of small kite ECM
6206s	so they're not Banning out the uh falcon
6209s	or Blackbird which is another couple of
6210s	ECM ships that we've seen various teams
6212s	ban and we also saw used to create
6214s	effect by dark side previously
6216s	kind of implies to me that I want to use
6218s	a Shack or maybe a vedmack something
6220s	that's going to spool up in damage or or
6223s	they just don't have the ability to deal
6224s	with frigates that's the other thing
6226s	that this could indicate to me is that
6227s	whatever comp they're bringing doesn't
6229s	have a lot of projection maybe they're
6230s	trying to bring some sort of armor
6231s	control comp themselves I don't know
6234s	those are some Curious pants
6235s	what do you think about these bands here
6237s	uh I think they saw what the battery
6239s	experts team did in their previous match
6241s	uh they had a Kitsune and a Griffin and
6244s	they're just like
6246s	screw those ships I don't want to see
6247s	them take something else uh which
6249s	actually does put you a lot put a lot of
6251s	pressure on the team right you just
6252s	mentioned it boundary experts played
6254s	like an hour ago uh they're gonna be
6256s	panicking they're gonna be a little bit
6258s	of spaghetti falling out all over the
6259s	place and if you have to make them make
6261s	some substitutions they might just make
6263s	a different comp altogether and uh might
6266s	miss play a little bit uh this boundary
6268s	experts team if I had to choose like a
6270s	second team to support it would be them
6271s	a lot of Legacy PL pilots on there uh
6274s	people who kind of remember me when I
6276s	was relevant so I have to still give
6277s	them a little bit of love uh but these
6279s	guys have a lot of talent and it'll be
6282s	interesting to see how they uh how they
6284s	react to this yeah now gen time one of
6286s	the questions that we had in twitch chat
6288s	earlier on was in that last match we saw
6290s	I jacked at the start and not moving for
6292s	about 15 seconds or so something we also
6294s	saw yesterday last week in the boundary
6296s	experts team where one of their pilots
6298s	radicals Dead Set stationary for almost
6300s	a minute to start the match what can
6301s	cause that like why aren't they moving
6303s	um so when you start when you load into
6305s	grid on a match that's being run by the
6309s	tournament tool no inputs are accepted
6312s	from your ship until the timer hit zero
6314s	so if at one second before the game
6316s	starts or in the tick between it saying
6318s	one second uh in local and then go go if
6322s	you double click in space that won't do
6324s	anything and I've off I've often found
6326s	myself in practices just sitting there
6327s	with my mwd on being like wow why am I
6330s	not catching this ship I'm in a Punisher
6332s	and then I realize my velocity is at
6334s	zero MMS because I have not you know
6336s	clicked a couple more times just to make
6338s	sure it went through it's a very easy
6340s	thing to do especially if you don't have
6341s	a huge amount of experience obviously we
6343s	wouldn't expect that hugely from the
6345s	Dark Side team but they do have some new
6347s	pilots they aren't like the vide loaded
6349s	teams that have been kind of fielded
6351s	previously they are bringing alongside
6353s	some slightly newer Pilots although they
6354s	do have a lot of people with experience
6357s	and other times you know spaghetti you
6359s	know these matches are really intense
6361s	especially when you've got to fly them
6362s	once you know uh right after each other
6364s	the adrenaline Island builds up and
6366s	builds up and eventually
6368s	um you know people start to make
6369s	mistakes at the end of the day it's
6371s	pretty much impossible to play a perfect
6372s	at game it's always a battle who makes
6375s	the least important mistakes
6377s	yeah it is one of those moments when you
6379s	warp in it and then you're like
6380s	everything is cool and then the
6381s	countdown starts in local and you feel
6382s	your heart rate just suddenly shoot
6383s	through the roof and you start making
6385s	mistakes I remember one time
6387s	um I accidentally instead of clicking to
6389s	turn on my guns I accidentally
6390s	spaghetted and clicked the unstack rack
6392s	and then I panicked and then I turned
6394s	all the guns on individually but then of
6396s	course you can't restack them while they
6397s	were running so I'm trying to manually
6399s	overheat every single gun to try and uh
6400s	try and avoid uh burning them out but
6403s	anyway let's go for some quick
6405s	predictions from you guys so boundary
6407s	experts uh gentan or will it be deep
6409s	water
6409s	uh I'm gonna say that I think Deepwater
6412s	uh Hooligans have this you know they
6414s	played excellently in their first match
6415s	and yeah I I don't have any deeper
6418s	reason than that and CC Swift uh
6420s	Deepwater Hooligans was incredibly
6421s	impressive in their win but my heart
6423s	goes with boundary experts uh so I'm
6425s	gonna I'm gonna give them a little bit
6427s	of energy okay I think I will as well so
6429s	let's go to the arena and find out who
6431s	will take this this Victory between
6432s	boundary experts and Deepwater Hooligans
6439s	welcome to the arena boys and Deepwater
6440s	Hogans we're Banning out the ECM
6442s	frigates for one reason they wanted to
6443s	bring an ecn Cruiser instead they've got
6445s	a blackbird and grib with a double a
6446s	shack comp and reversing a triple
6448s	Battleship double armored Navy and
6450s	typhoon Fleet and of course I am joined
6452s	by my favorite B nerd in the world
6454s	beyond my man good to see you how you
6457s	doing man how's it going
6458s	my I'm so happy this is a dream but we
6462s	had to focus on the match I'll uh I'll
6464s	be happy about that later but uh yeah
6466s	triple Battleship comp with two Navy
6467s	Armageddon plus a fleet typhoon against
6469s	a double the shack core I'm just double
6471s	checking these armaged names if they are
6473s	rapid heavy I believe they are indeed
6475s	they are
6477s	so okay this is gonna be very
6479s	interesting they need to try and break
6479s	two Le Shacks under a neros reps with
6482s	their rapid Heavies this is going to be
6483s	a very hard match for these Armageddon
6485s	navies especially with a blackbird
6486s	providing gems to break up those rapid
6488s	heavy clips
6490s	I think we're in for a very interesting
6492s	match and we see the uh the links
6494s	popping here it's about to start
6496s	yeah I'm gonna wait to see where the ECM
6499s	drops from that black but what do you
6500s	think what do you think is going to go
6501s	for first of the ECM
6503s	honestly I have no idea let's see what
6505s	they do
6508s	all right I've seen damage go out to the
6509s	exact Navy at the moment
6511s	and yeah damage until the shackle so
6512s	they're gonna try and go to kill off the
6514s	big ships first I don't think that's
6517s	gonna work I mean I'm hopeful but I'm
6519s	not sure on that
6522s	well Chuck's taking a lot of damage
6525s	thank you so much for catching reps yeah
6527s	but actually the heavy drones on the
6529s	Army good Navy hadn't arrived yet they
6530s	were just about to arrive and then
6531s	they've been recalled so they're
6532s	actually potentially with the rapid
6534s	Heavies plus drones could have broken
6536s	through the shack there that is honestly
6538s	quite scary for uh people with Hooligans
6540s	here if their last shot gets caught
6541s	underneath one of the armageddon's it's
6543s	gonna die
6546s	I think with this uh Le Shack had
6548s	something really working I think of
6550s	course the Armageddon is now we're gonna
6551s	have to go on to reload uh what do you
6553s	think is going to happen with the Shacks
6554s	now I think we're going to burn in go
6555s	get some proper damage on
6558s	range it's hard to tell somebody seems
6560s	something like to wait a little bit and
6562s	see what's going to happen sometimes
6563s	wait for their team to make a mistake
6564s	but at the moment they're kind of just
6565s	chilling
6567s	but they're moving towards each other
6569s	now a lot more yep here they go they're
6571s	starting to move in are they have they
6572s	got a tackle ship in their comp not
6574s	particularly all they've really got is a
6575s	high enough application and maybe some
6577s	webs so honestly their tackle is
6579s	basically the little shacks and maybe
6581s	the Magus so or the male addiction I
6583s	suppose
6584s	as you say that the checks are burning
6585s	in together it's going to be pushing in
6587s	towards the deacon I'm not sure what the
6590s	Deacon's doing there uh having a good
6592s	time he's just enjoying himself
6594s	we've seen lots of damage happening onto
6596s	the Blackbird now oh like maybe just
6599s	maybe clip through them quick maybe
6601s	that's things going I think this guy's
6603s	going to try to rip and at the same time
6605s	the hyena is taking a ton of damage
6606s	blackbird's about to hit Hull as well
6608s	one rep cycle if it doesn't gonna matter
6610s	yeah
6612s	it's so much damage he's still he's
6615s	still bleeding ah he's going down for
6617s	sure
6618s	oh my God
6620s	how much is that hold on uh that's six
6623s	percent structure
6626s	he's actually holding he's actually
6628s	catching it Meanwhile we're seeing a
6630s	deacon on the other side taking a bit of
6632s	damage but not that much
6633s	oh my God he actually survives it there
6636s	with six percent Hull and that is
6638s	honestly not the same time though the
6641s	hyena just went down
6642s	yeah not only did he survive that
6644s	situation it also means the armageddes
6645s	now have to reload and cannot headshot a
6647s	battleship and that is honestly gonna be
6649s	the painful point right there I think
6650s	I'm gonna get maybe I believe it's
6651s	already tackled down so yeah they have
6653s	to reload and then pick on a big ship
6655s	that's just not gonna work with them at
6656s	the moment they're gonna be at a
6657s	disadvantage
6658s	if they get their visual Fleet down here
6660s	as well and both the long range webs are
6661s	down it's going to be kind of rough for
6662s	them
6663s	but the original fleet seems to be
6665s	tanking quite fine
6666s	yeah you should be all right so yeah
6668s	it's going to be a race Tula checks onto
6670s	an Armageddon Navy and the good navies
6671s	and typhoon Fleet have to do something
6673s	that wants to have to reload first and
6675s	do you think he's gonna survive to
6677s	reload
6678s	I'm not sure we're seeing Liam here now
6680s	in half armor I think he's gonna catch
6683s	this is going to be rough as soon as the
6685s	shack starts pulling up proper damage on
6686s	him exactly he might catch with reps
6689s	from The Valley in the beacon but that
6690s	is not gonna be enough rep power to
6691s	survive even one wish I could let alone
6693s	two this is gonna be really pain we see
6695s	some damage now go on to that little
6696s	Shack I believe that is heavy drones yep
6698s	Freighters from the Armageddon navies if
6700s	the rapid heavy is reloading time they
6701s	can start putting in that clip they
6703s	could probably break him before the
6704s	logic can even save them
6708s	we know that Deacon is also just about
6710s	tinkering over death here they're both
6712s	sitting there in like 20 armor look look
6714s	at look at the endless Jack of Dino he's
6716s	dropping remarkably quickly goes down as
6718s	well leader yeah I mean this is a rush
6720s	they gotta they gotta rush to get the
6722s	DPS landed there get the check down
6724s	before the Armageddon Navy goes down
6727s	I think they're gonna make it it's so
6729s	close the shack is losing Health firstly
6731s	I'm a good Navy is still holding in 15
6732s	ah but he could maybe just eat this out
6736s	at the same time the vigil Fleet and
6737s	Thalia get deleted as well
6740s	yeah both coms are brought a very robust
6742s	support Link in terms of being able to
6744s	kill small ships two Jack doors versus
6746s	another jacket on the malediction they
6747s	can rip apart small chips rather easily
6749s	the Armageddon Navy's now and how the
6751s	shack is starting to tank a bit better
6752s	now I think it's starting to go to the
6755s	Shack's way
6760s	oh my god
6761s	um
6762s	that's that right there is honestly the
6766s	end the match is still going but it's
6768s	going to be an incredible Hill to climb
6770s	the shack is still surviving the nearest
6772s	is still alive that is I just don't see
6775s	it happening I mean if the the oneris is
6777s	still out there rapping and the other
6779s	guys have lost both of their wrapping
6780s	ships now we're seeing the pontifex hit
6782s	High farmer acts like Navy's about to
6784s	hit half armor they're trying to Black
6786s	Parade again but he already like proved
6788s	he's a champion he's not gonna go down
6790s	now I think this uh this match is over
6792s	exactly that it's going to be a slow
6794s	painful death from this point onwards
6796s	that's uh black but it's also going to
6797s	be incredibly annoying now he's
6798s	basically just gonna jam out one of the
6800s	two battleships and leave him there
6802s	unable to sync their rapid Heavies with
6803s	their their friendly ship as now one of
6805s	their support ships also dying so yeah
6807s	that's
6807s	well flown by deep water here they're
6809s	very well controlled and charging at the
6811s	right moment
6813s	I think it just came down to the uh the
6815s	rapid light cycles and syncing them up
6816s	together there and not being able to
6818s	punch that black bird I think that was
6819s	the the losing defining moment of this
6821s	match
6822s	exactly that once that Blackbird
6824s	survived and then they had to reload
6825s	with the Shacks coming at them that was
6827s	just game over he said look at the black
6828s	one he's actually might still die they
6830s	might get the Revenge yeah no way
6834s	just to prove a point
6840s	yeah oh well Bravo they managed to get
6842s	their revenge on the Blackbird
6844s	bye
6846s	it's like the party called a champ
6850s	but this match is basically over they're
6851s	just going to be spending the rest of
6852s	the match now most likely just chunking
6855s	down the jackdaw here and then working
6856s	on the Armageddon
6857s	uh I think this is this is done
6860s	exactly that's funny because actually it
6862s	basically a lot one on loss on a single
6864s	rapid heavy clip and we've seen
6866s	situation before people have not been
6867s	willing to fire the rapid Heavies at all
6869s	because the moment they fire and not
6870s	kill something they lose
6871s	but this team was willing to fire
6873s	probably a bit too early potentially and
6875s	managed to fail the kill at that point
6877s	it was Game the moment they didn't get
6879s	the kill on the Blackburn they wasted
6880s	their clip it was just ended
6882s	yeah there's a bit of posturing there at
6883s	the start but then as soon as the shack
6885s	started getting closer and closer you
6886s	might be right they may have started to
6887s	go a little too early but at the end I
6890s	don't think there's much they could have
6891s	done there
6892s	just didn't land the black but didn't
6894s	die and then suddenly wasted in you know
6896s	a couple of minutes
6898s	basically the only win scenario for them
6899s	was probably to like once Shack is close
6901s	enough all in it immediately with all
6902s	their heavy drones plus rapid heavy and
6904s	maybe break through but beyond that it's
6906s	it is a hardcore with a blackbird on
6908s	grid and then on euros
6912s	I very much respect to Tim oxer there
6914s	and the oneros keeping that Blackbird
6915s	alive in six percent structure just that
6918s	that there is honestly the moment that
6920s	pretty much broke uh boundary experts
6922s	probably broke their backs and their
6923s	hearts
6926s	now we're going to see them working on
6927s	Avery
6928s	Last Man Standing he's been scrammed
6931s	held down and he's just gonna get
6932s	chunked
6933s	yep that'd be so you have to wait for
6935s	those checks to get there first bloody
6937s	slow things
6941s	I don't think everything's gonna do
6942s	anything anyway yeah this is this is
6944s	over they realize that it's two and a
6945s	half minutes left on the clock but
6946s	that's not not really what matters he's
6948s	just gonna get held down
6950s	and slowly chunked
6954s	it looks like the the Shack's actually
6955s	just looting instead
6957s	why not we've got some time mate well
6960s	while we've got that time welcome to uh
6961s	welcome to CCP everyone doesn't know
6964s	this is beyond B now ccpb just making
6966s	sure everyone knows that because he's
6967s	the best nerd around
6970s	thank you for that warm welcome man I've
6972s	been having a blast here with the people
6974s	it's been it's been super fun seeing the
6976s	entire uh the production Team all the
6978s	people working on this
6980s	has been crazy experience so far
6982s	I was gonna say like congrats on being
6983s	the newest CCP member but then Mr Ithaca
6985s	overload replaced you there and with
6987s	that uh Deepwater horgins gets the win
6989s	very cleanly and without go back to the
6991s	studio with the newly minted TCP
6993s	Overlord have a look
7011s	[Music]
7015s	[Applause]
7018s	I remember
7026s	YouTube
7036s	[Music]
7061s	foreign
7062s	[Music]
7076s	s there taking the Victory and
7078s	eliminating boundary experts from
7080s	Alliance tournament 18. it's not all bad
7082s	for them though of course because they
7084s	do win price ships they only win a few
7086s	compared to winning more than a few
7088s	which obviously is considered preferable
7090s	but they are eliminated in a relatively
7093s	hard-fought match by both teams I'm
7095s	joined on the desk by CCP Kestrel CB
7097s	casual how are you hey I'm good thank
7099s	you
7103s	tons of damage
7105s	chunks whatever that whatever Shady's uh
7108s	thing is I think it was a chunks and the
7109s	tangu is breaking of course being the
7111s	famous ones excuse me Castro how does
7112s	that match for you uh that was a super
7115s	enjoyable
7116s	um mostly just seeing uh
7118s	uh boundary experts win more 80 pirate
7120s	ships than radicals was the highlight
7122s	for me
7124s	and uh jintan I wanted to ask you a
7126s	little bit about the damp war on that
7127s	and what's your favorite topic and we
7129s	have a little bit of a video about the
7130s	mechanics of that but can you just run
7131s	us through it again yeah so um Center
7133s	dampling allows you to control the lock
7135s	Ranger Lock speed of your opponents um
7138s	and these are going to be incredibly
7139s	powerful in this tournament because you
7141s	can now utilize the script for them
7144s	which means that you can either make
7146s	things look really really slowly or you
7148s	can make things look uh really really
7150s	shortly and which will prevent your
7154s	opponents from being able to project out
7155s	onto and that's especially useful when
7157s	used in conjunction with things like the
7159s	Le Shack which if it can sustain a lock
7162s	for a long period of time
7164s	um within around the 70 kilometer range
7165s	that it can fire its weapon it's going
7167s	to be able to ramp up and just burn
7169s	through anything even under you know
7171s	Tech 2 Logistics reps
7174s	um and tons and tons of rep Bots which
7176s	is what makes it such a powerful ship in
7178s	a tournament format and it's also
7180s	interesting to see that I think we saw
7182s	some
7183s	um uh some of the scan res scripts
7185s	actually being used there as well on
7187s	that Jack door as it was able to
7189s	synergize really well with the Blackbird
7191s	the Blackbird was causing something to
7192s	have to lock it and then
7195s	um the Jack door from the Deepwater
7197s	hooligan side was using scan resolution
7199s	scripts on whatever was jammed so that
7202s	once the Blackbird dropped its jam on it
7204s	because obviously that's RNG based it
7206s	then took them more than the 10 second
7208s	title cycle time to re-lock any Target
7211s	which meant that effectively things were
7214s	being perma-jammed off the boundary
7216s	experts team uh effectively breaking up
7218s	that rhml clip and stopping them from
7221s	being able to break anything pretty much
7223s	now before we go and talk about the next
7225s	match which is when we go to the winners
7227s	bracket and there's some really exciting
7229s	matches CTP Kestrel
7231s	um tell us what you do at CCP yeah so I
7234s	I'm a QA analyst at CCP I work on team
7236s	raw although I've been doing a lot of
7238s	work with the living Universe team which
7240s	is essentially like the live gameplay
7241s	team on Eve so for example I did a lot
7244s	of testing for the new Navy ships that
7246s	came out in Uprising last week
7249s	excellent and now what kind of testing
7250s	do you do with these ships oh yeah just
7253s	make sure the bonuses are working
7254s	correctly making sure like the traits
7256s	and the descriptions are working make
7258s	sure they have the right LP costs in the
7260s	Loyalty Point store making sure the
7262s	blueprints work for the capital ships
7264s	especially there's a lot of extra tests
7266s	that we need to do like making sure like
7268s	doomsdays work on them making sure that
7270s	they spawn the sleeper escalations in
7272s	class 5 Wormhole space and a few other
7275s	things too like making sure you can't
7277s	build the blueprints in portrait for
7278s	example just all these like extra little
7280s	tests just to make sure there's no uh
7283s	big bugs with them all the super
7284s	important things that basically keep the
7286s	game from breaking completely out yeah
7288s	so CP casual our QA analyst at CCP games
7290s	now I want to talk about this next match
7292s	because I am looking forward to this one
7294s	um this is the tuskers call versus truth
7296s	honor light truth on a light being the
7299s	members of Hydra reloaded from last year
7300s	the defending Champions tuskers not a
7302s	bad team whatsoever let's see what
7304s	they're doing with the bands so truth on
7306s	the light Banning out the jackdaw Osprey
7307s	Navy issue and Deacon tusker is Banning
7310s	out Jack Dart guardian and Loki uh just
7313s	on the lake the trickle ban is the
7314s	Osprey and for the tuskers it is the
7316s	uniro so both teams choosing to use
7317s	their trickle bands for the uh the
7320s	logistics Cruisers jintan what do you
7322s	what do you think of these bands here uh
7323s	the thing I'm noticing most of all is
7324s	that both teams have brought uh have
7326s	brought a jackdaw band to play here and
7328s	what that effectively signifies to both
7330s	uh to me is that both teams want to keep
7332s	some form of damp control comp on the
7334s	field uh those Jack doors with their
7337s	Sharpshooter mode have an incredible
7338s	resistance to ewar uh which makes them
7341s	super effective at shutting down your
7343s	hostile uh damping ships without really
7346s	being that useful in a pure control
7347s	setup themselves
7349s	awesome and uh I mean some of those
7351s	experienced teams in the history of
7353s	Alliance tournament right now about to
7354s	go up against each other let's take a
7355s	look at some of the pilots for uh for
7357s	these teams so first up uh we have truth
7360s	honor light so uh Pilot's famous pilots
7363s	such as Casper 24 uh previous holder of
7365s	the boundary record before it was
7366s	snatched from his grap by Azure and
7368s	Argan from goons from Federation uh nick
7371s	domar uh Kadesh Priestess Lucas these
7373s	are just like this is a who's who of uh
7375s	incredibly experienced Pilots
7378s	um so you speak Kestrel uh what do you
7380s	tell us something about some of these
7381s	Pilots here
7382s	yeah I mean a lot of the uh two funnel
7385s	light Pilots are sort of X hydropilots
7387s	who have been playing together for a
7388s	very long time uh Hydro came second
7391s	place in 88 which is when the the team
7393s	first sort of
7394s	was on the field and then since then
7396s	they've always came uh second mostly
7399s	although the they won the last previous
7401s	Alliance tournament so they finally
7403s	broke the curse so a lot of these Pilots
7405s	are incredibly talented they've been
7407s	around in the tournament scene for a lot
7410s	of them for over a decade
7412s	so tons of experience especially when it
7415s	comes to fairy crafting kadash Priestess
7416s	is the person who uh maintains pytha the
7421s	uh python fitting management tool so he
7424s	knows a ton about fittings like he knows
7427s	more about fittings than me even so yeah
7429s	and that's saying something like that
7430s	guy is a wizard when it comes to fitting
7433s	uh let's look at the tuskers pilots now
7435s	uh and compare them
7438s	foreign
7441s	he's not flown with him for a while he's
7443s	kind of returned this year the last
7444s	couple of years I think last two years
7445s	he's not flown and yet he still has
7447s	flown in 46 matches so he's been flying
7449s	with them for a significant period of
7451s	time you then have electronicus he is
7453s	probably one of the better uh Logistics
7456s	Cruiser pilots in the game in the last
7457s	term history and he certainly was with
7459s	them when the one Alliance tournament 14
7461s	I believe and then again another who's
7463s	who we have hoodie Mafia who is on the
7465s	uh I think runner-up of our championship
7467s	team uh along with uh his captain lysis
7470s	back then and then people like uh Tebo
7472s	Skyler jaxley uh all really experienced
7475s	Pilots that have flown in just I mean
7477s	you can see here the lowest ranking of
7478s	them is 27 matches uh which is
7481s	incredible when you think about it
7482s	because a lot of teams go maybe two and
7485s	two one one two for example so to get to
7487s	27 matches and still be like just
7490s	creeping into the top 10 in a team then
7491s	that's how you know that team has got a
7494s	lot a lot of experience
7496s	now let's maybe talk about some
7497s	predictions because we're only a few
7498s	minutes away from this match
7500s	CCP Kestrel um who would you put your
7503s	Twitch Channel plus buying truth on a
7504s	light or the tuskers call well going by
7506s	history I believe every single time
7508s	taskers and Truth on are light or hydras
7511s	they previously were known as have gone
7513s	up to against each other in the
7514s	tournament they've always lost tuskers
7516s	have never beaten Hydra actually in a
7518s	match in 80. so I'm probably going to be
7521s	putting my points on truth on a light if
7523s	I had to
7525s	a sentiment that you share uh no I think
7527s	this is a time that you know tuskers
7529s	relive their Glory Days of at13 and come
7531s	out with the win here if they do they
7533s	should pretty much have a clear run into
7535s	the winners finals yeah I think this is
7538s	one of these matches where
7540s	um truth or like cannot sleep on this
7542s	like this is not just any other team
7544s	that they can go up against bring
7545s	something middle of the road comp and
7547s	then hope to oh execute and win I think
7549s	they're gonna have to still bring their
7550s	a game respect the tasker's team they've
7552s	uh tuscaros have shown a couple of comps
7554s	so far in the tournament they performed
7556s	extremely well with them uh I have I if
7559s	I had a bit Channel points which I don't
7560s	want to do because I I find this match
7562s	so hard to predict I would probably put
7564s	them on the tuskers because I think the
7566s	return might be slightly better if they
7568s	make a win and I would put this match
7569s	somewhere like 70 30 in you know 700
7572s	times out of ten I say truth on like
7574s	maybe you could win this one but you
7576s	know given the right set of matchups the
7577s	right set of piloting and the right
7578s	execution I think the Tasker is cool
7580s	have the ability to pull one over on
7581s	truth on the light here
7583s	so you've grown your protection you've
7585s	given your protection I've given my
7586s	production I'm told the teams are
7588s	landing right now so let us go to the
7590s	arena and find out who will win between
7592s	truth honor light and the tuskers call
7600s	and welcome back to the arena and we
7601s	have a flag pancake in the arena uh vld
7604s	minome in the uh for taskus has brought
7606s	the flag bargest and we have a very
7609s	honestly a lot of the control on both
7611s	these teams considering what they're
7612s	brought what do you think about this one
7613s	big
7614s	I'm gonna be honest with you uh I I I'm
7617s	not gonna be neutral on this match uh I
7620s	was meant to be in this match or at
7621s	least with this team with truth on the
7623s	light and they're absolutely gonna
7625s	dominate this I can tell you that
7627s	ah fair and unbiased reporting indeed
7632s	but yeah this could be honestly there
7634s	was a lot of this match that's going to
7635s	make the flip in the entirely different
7637s	directions we have double Blackbird from
7639s	a tourism like they're going to provide
7640s	a lot of control tuscles with that Flag
7642s	bug plus a lot of support and DPS it's
7645s	gonna be very interesting to see as well
7646s	this is gonna be a match that's gonna go
7648s	down to piloting I'm pretty sure and
7650s	maybe a bit of dice roll look
7652s	never seen the double Blackbird and the
7654s	carries from the truth on the right uh
7657s	we have double web uh visual Fleet hyena
7659s	on the other side I'm not sure if
7661s	they're gonna go top down or or bottom
7663s	up but uh that flag Bargas is something
7665s	they need to respect and be careful
7666s	about
7667s	I'm just double checking as well that's
7669s	definitely a rapid heavy bug just going
7671s	over the rest of the strips to make sure
7672s	they are where they think they are
7675s	I believe that's definitely a hand my
7676s	hook so it should be all right but yeah
7678s	these are going against a triple uh
7680s	battle cruiser setup with uh ECM support
7682s	it's going to be a very interesting
7684s	match for tuskers to try and fight
7685s	through and hopefully they don't lose
7687s	the dice roll I want to point out one
7689s	interesting thing here as the match
7690s	starts that we have claimer Nighthawk
7692s	barges and then an auger
7694s	it's kind of an interesting setup
7696s	bringing the Cheapo
7698s	I think we should see a bunch of uh logy
7701s	joins getting dropped on that augura
7702s	tuskers tend to be pretty good at doing
7704s	that are seeing no DPS drones never mind
7707s	as a stalk is now being a primary First
7710s	stuck is not too bad
7714s	this is an armor cup my dude yeah my
7717s	brain just clicked that's that's an
7719s	almond Nighthawk and Claymore and Bob
7721s	yes sir hold on a second
7723s	hold up wait a minute
7726s	something right it's something that's
7728s	very not right here so we have two
7730s	armacos both bringing augers but one's
7732s	auger with a a Nighthawk Claymore okay
7735s	all right we're seeing uh Amelia ducks a
7737s	dust space now being primary but I think
7739s	he should be left alive with the auger
7741s	reps and defense mode
7744s	yeah the Confessor is an incredibly
7746s	tanky ship and I believe this should be
7748s	able to pull through at the same time
7750s	we're seeing a vigil Fleet go almost
7751s	into half armor here
7753s	manufacturer is holding strong meanwhile
7756s	the vigil Fleet this is one web ship
7758s	down and is going to put uh in a better
7760s	position where's the Reps from the organ
7762s	okay there's a cycle you're gonna get
7764s	another one there we go the visual pitch
7766s	should survive now he's now pulled back
7767s	away from the posing team and is still
7768s	receiving reps but if they leave him
7770s	alone and focus on the later he will die
7772s	before the order can even save him
7776s	the moment is not really much going on
7778s	towards truth on a lot like uh tuskers
7780s	haven't really been able to project much
7781s	at all except to maybe without Confessor
7783s	who's now sitting at full armor they
7785s	need to find something to do this
7785s	Nighthawk is now being primary the rare
7788s	armor Nighthawk
7790s	when you see the art he's been caught
7791s	where if they've been pushed to the back
7793s	and have to kite up again uh he's been
7795s	held down now
7796s	which means that uh him going into the
7798s	they're going to apply a lot better I
7800s	think this nighthawk's gonna go down
7801s	there you go I'm not even surprised
7803s	there's an arm and no hook he's gone he
7805s	was tackled down by the Confessor by the
7806s	way the thing they tried to primate the
7808s	star confessions could be incredibly
7809s	dangerous as I very well know and they
7812s	are like they're just gonna fly around
7814s	pretty much uncontested shoot down lodgy
7816s	drone shoot down DPS drones tackle ships
7818s	willingly that is honestly a painful
7820s	loss for tuskers and that's only the
7822s	first ship they've lost that's a big
7824s	chunk of DPS going as the controversial
7826s	tried to go for the claimer he got
7827s	scrounged by the bariest uh he's gonna
7829s	be pushing in the game we can see a
7830s	couple Executives pushing in with him
7832s	too they're just chasing him with a
7833s	Blackburn carries at the very back oh
7836s	Lucas Quan and the auger is going down
7837s	fast
7840s	honestly if they killed that ogre they
7842s	could start pulling this match back
7843s	towards their own side like that ogre
7845s	has been keeping ships alive but if he
7846s	goes they can remove the tackle quickly
7848s	then start beating all these black birds
7850s	this can entirely flip again that means
7851s	the Claymore for tuskers is now about
7853s	time and he goes down oh no yeah same
7856s	time claimers down yeah what damage
7858s	tuskers have left they've got a Bargas
7860s	and caracal Navy and that's really bad I
7862s	guess I've got a fleet Scythe actually
7863s	but like this is gonna be painful warp
7865s	out now being Primary getting rid of the
7867s	ECM this is honestly I don't see tuskers
7870s	winning this they've managed to like
7871s	kill the lodge and start maybe breaking
7873s	into this team but they've lost so much
7875s	too quickly
7876s	they've also got their Bargas scrammed
7878s	held down by that same Confessor who's
7880s	not going to let go exactly that and
7882s	don't forget this is also a flag bug
7883s	this is the special brand of pancake
7886s	and it's just they'll be able to buy
7888s	more time but I don't see them breaking
7891s	through they've killed one of the
7892s	Blackbirds I don't know what they're
7893s	going for next look they're going after
7893s	the confess next try and break the bug
7895s	is free
7897s	and I mean we're seeing the bar gives
7898s	you a hit half armor he's gonna mean
7900s	he's knocking out he's not gonna hold
7901s	here interestingly though he does have
7903s	the ogre support and with with the flag
7905s	bark he's going to have some pretty
7907s	shiny stuff on that [ __ ] to keep him
7908s	alive he could survive long enough for
7911s	this team to pull back pull it back I
7912s	wonder if trifling was going to see that
7914s	and maybe pick on the organ next the
7915s	auger is kind of on its own maybe remove
7917s	him now you can focus on this DPS chord
7919s	because at the moment that bug is
7920s	holding comfortably
7924s	maybe I'll be seeing Amelia hit here
7926s	lower and the same with the other
7928s	Blackbird Durant is almost going into
7930s	Hull
7932s	yeah and we see also the ECM drones
7934s	getting put into the auger and
7935s	immediately destroyed by the uh
7937s	stormbringer of Jason showing why he is
7939s	the best pilot in all of Eve
7941s	and yeah the uh professor's about to go
7943s	down the August it looks like they
7945s	listen immediately and they went
7946s	straight for the auger auger is down but
7948s	meanwhile Emilia is also going down in
7950s	the Confessor
7952s	honestly bought them an incredible
7954s	amount of time I think truth might have
7955s	reacted a little slowly there but that
7957s	being said they were in a commanding
7958s	position they had the room to do that
7960s	but now it's going to be a race and I
7962s	think at the moment that race is so
7964s	squarely interested on the light side I
7966s	don't see that Flag bug surviving long
7968s	they've got two potentially Blaster
7970s	exact navies and three battle Cruisers
7972s	that's a lot of DPS with no support to
7974s	help you for
7976s	you say that in kadash's executive Navy
7978s	hits Hull no stop doing this to me I say
7981s	a thing and they immediately proved me
7982s	wrong this is unfair
7984s	but let's not forget we still have a
7986s	hard Navy Absolution and a starter here
7988s	they're all fully health except for
7990s	Dexter's absolutions a little bit in
7992s	armor I think they're gonna have enough
7994s	to push the Bargas into Hull and finish
7995s	them off
7997s	indeed I'm seeing if the bug is gonna
7998s	try and break away but the Absolution is
8000s	holding him permanently meanwhile the
8001s	bug is actually screaming off the uh
8003s	executive Navy instead
8006s	they've actually got a good amount of
8008s	DPS left and support on tusker's fleet
8010s	they've got their character that's a
8012s	good amount of damage plus these web
8014s	support from the Vigilant hyena they
8016s	have a chance but that chance is about
8018s	to vanish the moment that Bargas goes
8020s	from being present to past
8024s	now we're saying the bark is just
8026s	hovering over the Hallmark where Casper
8028s	in the exact Navy is now going into
8030s	about 60 armor
8033s	meanwhile the Vargas starting into Hull
8035s	yeah that's bits about how here and
8037s	they're getting removed
8039s	I think this bar gets going down the
8041s	next next 40 seconds oh bogus is
8043s	actually being away he might be able to
8045s	pull a little bit of rings and get
8046s	another rep cycle off he's actually
8047s	making the tackle he's loose yeah but
8049s	all these are these are ranged battle
8050s	cruises they can definitely still apply
8051s	for a good distance but he can maybe
8053s	pull some distance away and buy a little
8055s	bit of armor
8058s	meanwhile the caracal Navy and the uh
8060s	site Fleet will not keep pounding upon
8061s	that executive Navy and maybe kill off
8063s	another ship before the bogus goes down
8064s	he's got they've got a chance again vld
8067s	with the amazing party you're trying to
8068s	break free
8070s	I think this may have been a just a game
8072s	changer that he got away here Casper
8073s	going down into Hull
8076s	vld in the uh the flag bark is still
8078s	holding while we see Kane in the caracal
8080s	Navy taking some damage
8082s	yeah this is this is obviously starting
8084s	to go towards VOD side now he can
8085s	obviously keep repairing back up he can
8086s	if you've got an absolute armor up he
8088s	can reload that as well caracal Navy's
8090s	now being primaried he will not last
8091s	long
8092s	what are they gonna go for next because
8093s	everything is very tanky it's the hard
8094s	Navy is probably your best option but
8096s	it's still incredibly tanky ship
8099s	I mean the character Navy is going to go
8100s	down now in the next couple of seconds I
8102s	think hard Navy is definitely the best
8104s	compared to an Absolution and an astarte
8107s	oh the character navigation managed to
8108s	survive by getting away he's still alive
8110s	he might still get killed but he's got a
8112s	bit of room to play with left and buy
8113s	even more time so this the tuscus team
8116s	is flying incredibly well with the tools
8118s	they have that being said yep character
8120s	is about to go pop as you said he bought
8121s	a little bit extra time actually look at
8123s	the Absolution how is he so low
8128s	how is the absolutely so close to dying
8130s	that that's that's not what I expected
8131s	to see
8133s	I think they would have had a better
8134s	chance Killingly hard Navy if they if
8136s	they held him down
8139s	but look at the side Fleet is about to
8140s	get killed as well he's trying his best
8142s	again they're buying time trying to get
8144s	this Bargas back online he is back the
8146s	full Army he's probably reloading his
8147s	answer if he's got one and the hard
8149s	thing is about to go down hard Navy's in
8151s	Hull meanwhile the Scythe fleetish is
8152s	taken down we got two minutes 20 seconds
8154s	left here roughly and it's uh this is a
8157s	nail biter exactly if that Hub
8159s	navigation I'm pretty sure tuskers will
8160s	be ahead on points I believe if the
8161s	Sci-Fi goes down it will probably go
8163s	back but this is this is honestly quite
8165s	incredible flying from tuskers they went
8167s	from a position where they're looking
8168s	like they were going to lose this and
8169s	they're slowly but surely clawing this
8171s	back with some amazing piloting and
8172s	their teamwork
8175s	it looks like they're gonna go down at
8176s	the exact same moment here hard Navy is
8179s	about to eat it and the same time with
8180s	the Scythe Fleet issue
8183s	yep there he goes side fleet's still
8185s	alive for a little bit longer he's
8186s	actually trying to pull away honestly I
8187s	wouldn't have bothered with that I would
8188s	have gone straight in and try and get
8190s	your damage in make your ship worth the
8192s	points
8196s	hitting about 20 percent
8198s	never seen ggs and local from Dexter and
8200s	Kadesh I think the truth or not I don't
8202s	think they've got this and honestly I'm
8203s	with them the episode can't do anything
8205s	the I started can't do anything this
8206s	Bargas this flag is gonna pull ahead
8208s	with the win from they were about to
8210s	lose
8213s	they've managed to call this one back
8218s	I'm I'm immeasurably gutted
8221s	oh we're seeing Dexter here go down in
8224s	his Absolution merome and the Vargas I
8226s	mean that just getting away was was the
8228s	game changer here 58 structure pulling
8231s	away suddenly wrapping to full
8233s	forcing truth on the light to swap
8235s	targets to other things and it just it
8236s	didn't pan out
8237s	exactly that do you think they would
8239s	have won a fewer in the team that if
8241s	this match don't ask me that bro
8247s	I surely I can't put you on the spot
8249s	there
8250s	[Laughter]
8252s	I just think it was that the carries has
8253s	been left on grid this entire time he's
8254s	been damping that bogus and trying to
8256s	remove his lock range the entire time
8257s	and honestly the bogus has not suffered
8260s	too much for it so this carries has not
8262s	really really been worth the points here
8268s	they pulled back there they killed the
8271s	the two ECM blackbirds and then they
8273s	somehow managed to slip that Bargas out
8275s	of being tackled and held down we had
8277s	the confession holding it down
8279s	it might have just been that it might
8281s	have just been the fact that this is a
8282s	flag bargist
8284s	and so it is what it is man what can it
8287s	is
8290s	oh man like yeah again as you said that
8292s	bug escaping was the the end that was
8294s	the end point once that happened THC THL
8296s	sorry we're just gone
8298s	I'm loving that the carries are still
8300s	alive uh where's this starting there he
8302s	is
8304s	oh matches over never mind then
8307s	and with that go back to studio and see
8308s	what they think
8326s	[Music]
8329s	[Applause]
8333s	guys stop being casual they're really
8335s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
8338s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
8340s	everybody warp off this is a really
8341s	really bad execution I'm very
8343s	disappointed
8347s	another great haul back from Amar damn
8351s	I'm thirsty
8356s	that hits the spot
8360s	[Applause]
8369s	uh yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
8372s	collectively uh so that's why that
8374s	Alliance logo is in the game of course
8376s	you could change your alliance by
8377s	leaving but that would be kind of a jerk
8379s	move that kind of oh you don't like it
8381s	now sucks I'm gonna go join
8399s	match of the day so far for me holy crap
8402s	that was incredible uh the tusker is
8404s	called pulling out a victory over truth
8406s	honor light in just the most exciting
8409s	match that I've seen this tournament in
8410s	my opinion uh we saw a little of
8412s	everything we had jams we had dance we
8414s	had that bar guest just going down we
8416s	had trades for ships and then he managed
8418s	to get away in fact we saw um that the
8420s	uh the small ships on the tusker side
8422s	able to both web down and track and
8424s	disrupt uh the remaining battle cruisers
8426s	on truth on the light a living vld in
8429s	that bar guest to just Cruise out to
8431s	safety reload his armor repair and then
8433s	come back in again incredible Mr come
8436s	out how are you feeling uh I feel great
8438s	yeah I uh I actually made some Channel
8440s	points uh in that match I bet on tuskers
8443s	of course as you do
8445s	um so I got a pretty good return
8447s	I suppose that way at least if your team
8448s	loses the match you get the channel I
8449s	always get something it's fine
8451s	any any highlights in that match for you
8454s	um I think it's just interesting to see
8455s	tuskas pull out the same kind of
8457s	strategy that they always have which is
8459s	just loading their mids with track and
8460s	disruption and missile against
8461s	disruption to a an extreme degree flying
8466s	a typically Shield setup with an arm and
8469s	Logistics to allow them to fit more
8470s	e-war into their mids and it really
8472s	showed that it does it does kind of work
8474s	well if they can fly it properly yeah
8476s	and I mean we were kind of discussing
8477s	that was pretty much an execution win
8480s	um the truth on the light guys obviously
8481s	flew incredibly well really made Tesco's
8484s	have to work for it and then just a
8485s	little stresses the piloting the the
8487s	evasion to get that Bargas out that was
8489s	a flagship Bargas as well I imagine if I
8492s	know the Tasker is it's probably Giga
8493s	expensive
8495s	um and if that's not a flagship CC
8497s	casual I don't think that uh tuskers win
8499s	that
8500s	yeah I think the I think the Bargas
8502s	would have died if it didn't have the
8503s	extra Flagship power of having the extra
8505s	powerful rep
8506s	like uh being a flagship it's allowed to
8508s	fit you know an extra special uh X-Type
8511s	armor repairer so it probably had maybe
8514s	had one of those if it wasn't a large
8515s	ancillary and also the extra power of
8518s	having like a longer range scram more
8520s	powerful prop mod meant that he was just
8522s	better able to escape better able to get
8524s	out of range and I I think he definitely
8525s	would have died if it was just a tattoo
8527s	Bargas yeah and at one point we thought
8529s	we were going to see a really expensive
8531s	Flagship kill meal before he did pull
8532s	off that uh The Great Escape and get out
8535s	away from truth on a light so well done
8536s	the tuskers score that was a incredible
8538s	incredible match
8541s	um I want to also ask you mystical my
8543s	the truth and light team they had a
8545s	couple of black birds we don't see them
8547s	super often this year and we saw a dark
8549s	side flying with the twin Blackbird
8550s	pilot
8551s	um and I think we can throw up a little
8552s	graphic about ECM can you just take us
8554s	through it yeah absolutely so my
8556s	greatest Nemesis in Eve online is ECM
8558s	the ECM module uh effectively what ECM
8561s	does is when a ship like a blackbird
8564s	um puts its ECM module on a hostile ship
8566s	it prevents that ship from locking
8568s	anything else apart from the Blackbird
8570s	if the jam is successful now it is a
8573s	dice roll so there is the chance that
8574s	the jam actually doesn't go through
8576s	which means that nothing happens you
8578s	have to wait for the 20 seconds cycle to
8580s	go around and then you can try again to
8582s	get that jam off
8584s	um it used to be that ECM was a complete
8588s	block unlocking so you couldn't even
8590s	lock the jamming ship back but now with
8593s	some of the ECM changes that came in a
8594s	few years ago you're able to at least
8596s	lock the ship that's jamming you which
8599s	kind of helps you feel like there is a
8600s	little bit of counter play to it it's an
8602s	extremely strong type of e-war but it's
8604s	not something that we see used that
8606s	often because
8607s	it's kind of difficult to execute it
8609s	doesn't always work out and
8611s	guidance disruptors and tracking
8613s	disruptors are a little bit more
8613s	reliable when it comes to the actual
8615s	effect that they have on the enemy ship
8617s	awesome thank you let's look ahead now
8619s	to our next match so again we're going
8620s	to stay in the winners bracket here
8622s	um and look at Odin's call versus
8624s	Templars calcif so the bands for this
8626s	upcoming match are Odin's called banging
8628s	out the Nighthawk the guardian and the
8630s	pontifex Templars kausif with the Le
8632s	Shack the EOS and the Healer CCB Kestrel
8635s	what do you see here in these bands
8638s	oh that's fairly interesting bands here
8640s	um I'd say that the pontifex is a pretty
8642s	specific band I'd say like they're
8645s	forcing them to either go with the Magus
8647s	which is a lot less tanky if they do
8649s	choose to go armor or they have to go
8652s	into more Shield stuff or have like
8653s	heavier armor command ships which is
8655s	typically not how you fly it armor
8657s	normally you have like a triple
8658s	Battleship core or double slack the
8660s	shark although templates actually banned
8662s	on the shack so it seems that they want
8664s	to try and force uh templates into like
8666s	Shield rush or like a a head like
8670s	provide problems for uh templates if
8673s	they go for like a heavier armor core
8675s	yeah and mystical mate this uh Nighthawk
8677s	band against Templar seems kind of
8679s	targeted they use that to great effect
8680s	during the lines open last year as well
8682s	in the last tournament 17. um do you
8684s	think that's the best of them saying we
8685s	don't want to see that Nighthawk rush I
8687s	think it's very much a case of the
8688s	Nighthawk is a strong ship both in the
8690s	rush and the kiting setups so if we do
8692s	see Heavy missile kite typically it will
8694s	be with Nighthawks and then direct
8695s	navies and standard Drakes uh in the
8698s	rush setups the Nighthawk typically
8700s	trumps the slept near now although the
8701s	sleptner is a good second it's a kind of
8703s	easier to deal with you can limit its
8705s	range a little bit more it's a little
8706s	bit harder to apply that paper damage
8707s	that you'll be able to get in EFT or
8710s	pifer I think Piper's now the more
8712s	modern one EFT I think is uh probably
8714s	gone away to dodo but anyway
8717s	um it's a bit harder to actually apply
8718s	that damage so yeah I think it's just a
8720s	case of they don't have to deal with
8721s	that awesome audience call um perhaps we
8723s	have a sleeper team for many people I
8725s	think they're kind of underrated just
8726s	looking through some of their history
8727s	here the last two matches they've lost
8730s	in the last two years are only against
8732s	vidra reloaded
8733s	um that is a championship winning team
8735s	of course running twice in a row here
8737s	you can see this year they've won uh
8739s	twice paper numbers and nanofiber tokens
8741s	and then last year having a pretty solid
8743s	run getting knocked down immediately by
8745s	a video reloaded into the the lower
8746s	bracket on the first day and then going
8748s	through a tear in that loser's bracket
8750s	versus also main Esports Petopia Exodus
8752s	boundary experts and then coming back
8754s	against video reloaded after they were
8756s	knocked down themselves and then losing
8757s	so a very solid team and I'm hoping to
8760s	see them do very well let's have some
8761s	quick predictions so CCP Castro Odin's
8764s	call or Tempest Castle who's your
8765s	channel points on
8767s	um So based on recent history it'll
8769s	probably be Odin's call because the last
8770s	the last tournament I think templates
8772s	were definitely a little more shaky
8773s	although I think templates have looked
8775s	very strong in the past especially
8777s	winning the alliance open winning the
8779s	anger game shortly after like in the
8781s	space of the a year they won two out of
8783s	three of the like big tournaments so I'm
8785s	gonna go votings just because of their
8787s	more recent pedigree but both of these
8789s	teams are very strong and Mr hamart well
8792s	you see
8793s	not Hydra has just lost so now I have to
8795s	go back to templates number one so I'm
8796s	gonna vote templates that's number one
8798s	all right well I'm a big fan of the
8799s	audience call boys so I'm gonna go for
8801s	them so let's go to the arena and find
8802s	out in Odin's call versus templar's
8804s	calcif
8810s	hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to
8812s	this next match of the upper bracket of
8814s	Alliance tournament 18. I am joined by
8816s	my colleague Alex Day of card Odin's
8818s	call have opted to bring a flagship bar
8821s	guest supported by a pair of heavy
8823s	missile claim or it's going for the
8825s	tried true traditional
8827s	not very tanky fly killer
8831s	meanwhile Temple is calcif saying we
8833s	still have armor in our pockets rolling
8835s	the double Magus for links supporting a
8837s	balgorn fleet Tempest Battleship Corps
8839s	arbitrator Thalia Deacon hyena crucifier
8842s	making up the lows giving them a lot of
8844s	rep and control
8847s	yeah and the control is definitely going
8850s	to be interesting to see here
8852s	um balgorn is kind of the
8854s	um classic Nemesis of shits that want to
8858s	you know kite away uh in this fight
8860s	killer setup so one of the wind
8863s	conditions for campus kausif will be
8865s	being able to use those long range webs
8868s	really you know get on top of something
8871s	catch something that maybe misplaced
8873s	gets out of position within range of
8875s	those webs and go from there because we
8878s	don't really see a lot of really tackle
8881s	ships from calcif that can get on top of
8883s	Odin's yeah you maybe have a Magus
8886s	um
8887s	Board of a hyena but hyen is going to
8889s	get deleted by heavy missiles if it
8890s	extends
8892s	yeah crucially and if they can't tackle
8894s	anything they're going to have a
8895s	difficult time Landing damage because
8897s	their setup does not have a ton of
8898s	projection the flight Tempest is a good
8900s	Battleship has does have a lot of range
8902s	but it's going to be doing only partial
8904s	damage at that range you can immediately
8906s	see the Odin's call team
8909s	spanning out kind of pushing themselves
8911s	away from calcif while his calcif is
8913s	rearranging their back line to make sure
8915s	that they keep their smaller ships out
8917s	of range
8918s	this is going to be crucial because that
8920s	Magus is already taking the brunt of
8922s	Odin's call aggression
8924s	yeah we see that we feel a lot of
8926s	tracking disruption from what I presume
8929s	to be the mid Slots of things like a
8931s	hook bill from the jackdaws onto the
8934s	balcorn fleet Tempest
8936s	um really just limiting how much
8938s	meaningful projection they can get out
8940s	meanwhile we see an absolute cloud of
8942s	reptrones getting on top of the uh
8945s	magazine so we see a slip now onto
8947s	Aurora work holes Magus he was getting
8949s	it down to low armor and he they save
8952s	him and now he goes down just in a
8954s	little bit of uh
8955s	um structure but now
8957s	um we see that uh orthodist of hodar is
8961s	having to run his ASB getting a little
8962s	bit too close to that Tempest Fleet
8964s	issue yeah quite pivotally uh you have a
8967s	Templars cast of battleground Fleet
8968s	Tempest charging forward trying to bully
8970s	out the Odin's call team Odin's call at
8973s	one point was approaching them head on
8974s	they've now pivoted away but they're
8976s	going to pay for it here by losing this
8978s	orthos most likely uh I mean they're not
8982s	going after the logistics frigates of
8984s	temples calcif maybe this was a
8986s	calculated decision saying hey they're
8987s	not going to let us get in range unless
8989s	we take some risks but will it be worth
8991s	it for trade we will see they've brought
8994s	down one they're going after the Thalia
8995s	this orthos will pay for it with his
8997s	life but what can calcif do to mitigate
9000s	if they lose both of their Logistics
9001s	frigates they're going to get chipped
9002s	away will they not
9004s	yeah I mean I don't think they're going
9006s	to lose their Logistics frigates just
9007s	yet I think if you're in the position of
9010s	Odin's um you know you try to kite
9012s	around it seems like they're just trying
9014s	to maneuver around to the back side
9017s	um Behind These slower battleships you
9019s	know we see that the abat and the
9020s	Tempest Fleet issue the Battleground are
9022s	all balled up but now that the links are
9024s	gone uh crucially those template ships
9027s	are going to be less tanky they're going
9028s	to be slower and they're not going to
9029s	have the bonus uh web range on that
9032s	balgorn to really uh meaningfully catch
9034s	things so uh stainless now and the
9037s	crucifier they're just swapping targets
9038s	between these frigates trying to catch
9041s	the logistics sleeping
9043s	now you can see the temples calcip
9046s	battleships trying to own the center of
9047s	the Arena trying to match the movements
9049s	of the Odin's call team what they're
9051s	looking to do here is pressure Odin's
9054s	call to keep the moving force them to
9056s	make piloting errors and every time
9058s	Odin's call has to turn there is a
9061s	window where that bow guard can
9063s	potentially land some long-range webs or
9066s	even a long-range Newt which would cap
9067s	out and turn off the micro warp drive of
9070s	some of these kiting ships enabling them
9072s	to get more on top of it it's a
9074s	dangerous long game for them because
9075s	they're going to be taking fire the
9077s	entire time but it's their only way
9079s	forward in this match and they might
9081s	have success here as they're closing in
9083s	on the Claymore of Colonel Kurtz
9085s	yeah um this Claymore of Kernel carts is
9088s	getting way too close to this uh Fleet
9089s	Tempest and it looks like he's going to
9091s	get held down he's going to get grappled
9093s	um webbed and scrammed and that's a
9094s	major misplay from one of these command
9096s	ships in a claimer you should never ever
9098s	be getting caught by an armor Fleet
9101s	Tempest so uh we see that the arbitrator
9103s	is now the primary they're going to try
9104s	to get rid of the tracking
9106s	um disruption from templates not sure
9110s	why they're doing that it doesn't seem
9112s	like the arbitrator has been putting out
9113s	any guidance disruption but I mean
9116s	you're not happy losing a command ship
9118s	for that it's the target they have
9120s	available what you're seeing here is
9121s	Odin's flanking around the back end of
9124s	temples calcif which has kind of strung
9126s	out their formation as they would kind
9127s	of have to do in this in this match the
9130s	arbitrator is the thing hanging around
9131s	in the back side and so now you're
9133s	seeing all the odins called sweep in
9135s	behind the temples calcif battleships to
9138s	try to go for the squishiest ship and
9140s	the arbitrator is what they landed on
9142s	but they're not having a ton of luck uh
9145s	the arbitrator in the hyena they're
9147s	somewhat splitting their focus here and
9148s	neither one is dipping below half armor
9151s	yeah I mean you're losing a claim when
9153s	an authoris hurts you a lot that's
9155s	roughly in the vicinity of a thousand
9158s	damage that you just don't have anymore
9160s	and it's pretty tragic for Odin's
9162s	because both of those were pretty severe
9164s	misplays
9166s	um just being significantly faster
9167s	kiting ships getting
9170s	um muted and then scrammed by a
9172s	tempestory issue it wasn't even the
9173s	balcorn that was getting on top of
9175s	things really
9176s	yep and now temples is kind of reacting
9179s	to that play they're rearranging
9181s	themselves putting the battleships at
9182s	the front once again and grouping their
9184s	smaller ships behind them this is now
9186s	forcing Odin's to figure out another
9188s	direction to go Odin says a lot of Arena
9189s	to play with they own the center right
9192s	now and Temple's Castle is coming from
9194s	the edge back in but crucially to
9196s	something you said earlier moderator
9197s	losing links from a team the mega
9200s	scissors are down from Temple's calcif
9201s	but now that Claymore is down from
9203s	Odin's call in another couple seconds
9205s	we're going to see the link that he was
9206s	providing fall off which should make
9208s	them either a bit slower or reduce their
9210s	tackle range
9212s	yeah and right now the crucifier is just
9216s	very well in the back line getting held
9218s	up by these heavy armor Bots uh
9220s	meanwhile The Tempest and the
9222s	Battleground are doing a pretty good job
9223s	of just zoning out uh this side of
9226s	Odin's trying to put them in an awkward
9228s	situation uh Odin's needs to find a way
9231s	uh to kill these logic frigates because
9234s	if they don't
9235s	um they're just going to run out the
9236s	clock they have you know four minutes
9238s	and 20 seconds left I mean if they don't
9240s	really burn down
9242s	um one of these logic they're going to
9244s	go up in the cloud of smoke
9246s	yeah for the audience Temple's Castle
9248s	has the point lead here 28 to 14 so the
9251s	the onus is on Odin's call here they
9253s	need to take the initiative they need to
9255s	make a move if things stay exactly as
9257s	they are if Temple's Castle continues
9259s	maneuvering as they're maneuvering with
9260s	no change they will win this match in
9263s	about four minutes a little less than
9264s	four minutes so the clock is ticking
9266s	here for Odin's call they need to make a
9268s	play they need to find a hole so far
9270s	they've tried the crucifier the hyena
9272s	the Thalia and the arbitrator and they
9275s	haven't found any success now it looks
9276s	like they're going after the Tempest
9278s	Fleet issue but if anything that will be
9280s	a more challenging Target for them to
9282s	break down
9283s	yeah I not sure if we're doing that just
9286s	yet
9287s	um it looks like they still have a fair
9288s	amount of drones onto uh the arbitrade I
9291s	really don't like the Tempest Fleet
9292s	issue as a call if anything what they
9294s	should be trying to do is use those Jack
9296s	balls to clear off the heavy armor Bots
9299s	and maybe once there's a little bit less
9301s	rep support try to make some snap calls
9304s	kill a deacon kill aphalia once you kill
9306s	one of those two you can eek away
9308s	because with three minutes on the clock
9310s	with what you have left you're not gonna
9311s	kill a battleship you have to work away
9314s	at the support side and hope that you
9315s	can get something out of that
9317s	well they're gonna have to get more than
9319s	one thing out of that no single Target
9321s	on the temples calcif team aside from
9323s	those battleships is going to be able to
9325s	afford them the points they need now
9327s	they've just killed the crucifier here
9329s	that is good
9331s	that's the first step uh it looked like
9333s	it might have been putting out the loan
9335s	uh guidance disruptor on the devil's
9337s	gossip team but the Battleground Fleet
9339s	temp is the bad and still untouched
9341s	they're being tracking disrupted a
9343s	little bit which will be inconvenient
9344s	for them but they don't need to kill
9346s	anything else right now it's all about
9348s	Odin seeing what Odin's can put together
9350s	here they're going to need to string
9352s	together three small ship kills if they
9355s	don't want to go after one of these
9356s	battleships uh kind of an odd Advantage
9358s	from the temples House of setup where
9360s	they've put so many points into their
9362s	top end with the balgorn fleet Tempest
9364s	the Baton core that they could lose a
9367s	lot of their low end but if they're
9368s	still killing a lot of the enemy they're
9369s	going to be fine
9372s	they trick the arbitrator into um
9374s	thinking he's a primer they snap and
9376s	kill the hyena that makes it a six point
9379s	game so if they can kill the arbitrator
9381s	that would make it tied on points
9384s	however The Offspring though of toast
9386s	um uh 995 took a fair amount of fair
9390s	amount of damage earlier but now he's
9392s	outside of that Scorch range so again in
9395s	the next minute or so you really only
9397s	have one clip reload left on your
9399s	bargist you have to reload between your
9402s	jackdaws and everything else I mean this
9405s	is where you might have to go For Broke
9407s	and it
9408s	gonna come down to them being able to
9410s	force snap and the folly or the Deacon
9412s	being asleep at the wheel
9414s	yeah the hyena play was very crucial it
9417s	really brought this match into range for
9419s	them if they can do a repeat of that it
9422s	looks like they might be going after one
9424s	or both the logistics forgets here
9425s	starting to put some damage into the
9427s	Deacon while they've got electronic
9428s	warfare on the Thalia
9430s	this would be the points they need
9432s	critically most of the heavy armor Bots
9434s	are on top of the arbitrator and they're
9436s	going for the Deacon we see all the
9438s	paints are on top of that Deacon the
9439s	Thalia however is 100 on top of the ball
9442s	getting all of his reps on top of his
9444s	bro however
9446s	um now it looks like they're swapping
9447s	back to the arbitrator and the Deacon
9450s	might have burnt out of range of this
9452s	arbitrator oh no he's actually coasted
9454s	out he's not going to be in range to get
9455s	to the arbitrator and if he breaks the
9457s	arbitrator we're tied on points with 40
9459s	seconds left
9461s	huge huge play they just repeated the
9463s	magic that they put in with the hyena we
9465s	are now tied with 30 seconds left we
9468s	might be going into tie-dye a tie-dye
9470s	tide breaker yes so for those of you who
9473s	are you know unfamiliar to these more
9475s	esoteric tournament rules what will
9477s	happen is we have time dilation which
9480s	many people know wait this carries this
9482s	carries is in armor as the seconds are
9484s	ticking down can they kill him before we
9486s	go into time
9487s	uh I don't know why that carries this
9489s	anywhere near there he is rammed way too
9492s	close that wait no he's trying to force
9494s	a um he's trying to force a um jam by
9496s	getting closer
9499s	he gets the he gets the the uh follow
9501s	you down but the carries
9503s	uh okay so we are in tie-dye okay so
9506s	um right now so the time is actually
9508s	going to spool forward it's gonna go
9510s	faster as opposed to slower like you're
9512s	used to so with that follow you down the
9515s	Deacon will have no rep power left they
9517s	can kill the Deacon I think they take
9519s	this
9520s	I think they take this as well what an
9522s	amazing final minute of play here this
9525s	is absolutely incredible this Deacon
9527s	will drop he has no one to help rep him
9530s	oh he's getting some love from arm
9531s	robots that it's not gonna be enough
9533s	here the carries meanwhile back to full
9535s	Shields that Osprey coming back in and
9537s	being a hero for his team this Deacon is
9540s	dropping very rapidly I can't overstate
9543s	how goaded Martin Conrad is when he
9545s	pushed in he forced he got into closer
9548s	optimal so his
9549s	um damps were more effective and he
9552s	essentially made um fafoy much less
9555s	effective and unable to rep his buddy
9557s	when he did that
9559s	um it was enough time for the Thalia to
9561s	go down and I mean we are at 225 tie-dye
9565s	so ships are effectively moving at
9567s	roughly 8 000 meters a second in real
9569s	time so if you're not careful you can
9572s	accidentally boundary yourself however
9574s	the balgorn is going down carries goes
9576s	down
9579s	is falling apart at an alarming Pace
9582s	here
9584s	yeah I mean this is probably a little
9586s	bit of an upset I'm however very glad
9589s	that I put 30 000 points on Odin's call
9591s	I'm feeling somewhat uh Vindicated what
9593s	that decision is Killa and the last of
9596s	his armor goes down and I don't see any
9598s	way for temples to come back at this
9600s	point
9601s	no this is Signed Sealed Delivered for
9603s	Odin's call what a thrilling what a what
9606s	a thrilling final minute of play
9607s	everything turned on those last couple
9610s	pilot decisions forcing us into this
9612s	tie-dye situation and obviously Odin's
9615s	call reacted to it much more
9617s	successfully they were
9620s	they have their game plan in mind and
9621s	they had to pull it
9623s	they had to pull it out in like twice
9625s	three times the rated which you would
9627s	normally think and act and Eve
9629s	incredible Temple Scouts if not able to
9631s	keep up
9633s	well I say not able to keep up but now
9635s	that we're at 350 tie-dye I think that
9638s	is the fastest I have ever seen a
9639s	claymore go in my life he's just zoom
9641s	zooming around the arena uh well out of
9644s	range of this Sabaton The Last Spartan
9646s	the last member of his team and it looks
9649s	like he's going to die on his shield as
9652s	he goes down into hole and he drops and
9654s	with that thrilling match I'll send it
9656s	back to the studio to break that
9658s	exhilarating match down
9677s	[Music]
9680s	thank you
9688s	sign us up
9709s	pump it up a little more get the party
9712s	going on the Dance Floor
9733s	foreign
9748s	I said at the end of the last match that
9750s	was one of the most exciting matches I'd
9751s	seen and then I think I might have to
9752s	say it again because that was incredible
9754s	uh what we saw at the end there is
9756s	something that we haven't seen in many
9757s	years in the Lions tournament in fact I
9759s	can't remember the last time we actually
9760s	saw one it's been a good few years but
9763s	when a match gets to time at 10 minutes
9765s	it goes into reverse time dilation so
9768s	normally when we have tie-dye on TQ it's
9770s	when the server is super overloaded and
9772s	everything has to be slowed down to
9774s	allow the server to catch up so
9775s	everything is the effect of running
9776s	slower reverse tie-dye happens at the
9778s	end of 10 minutes where we say hey
9780s	you've had 10 minutes to kill each other
9781s	you have failed uh we're gonna make you
9783s	now do it faster so everything starts to
9785s	move faster and faster and faster your
9786s	modules cycle quicker your modules
9788s	overheat and burn out quicker and then
9790s	that keeps ramping up and ramping up
9792s	every minute we saw it go from 150 to
9794s	225 percent to 350 before the end of
9798s	that match there so it's quite chaotic
9800s	I've flown in a match where it goes to
9802s	reverse tie-dye I can tell you it gets
9804s	very panicky very quickly because I
9807s	guarantee you pretty much none of these
9808s	Pilots will have had any chance to
9809s	really practice that
9811s	um the fact that everything moves
9813s	quicker you move quicker if you make a
9815s	mistake it's over quicker you have less
9816s	time to correct it absolutely wild CP
9819s	casual how does that match for you oh
9820s	man that was just uh super exciting it
9823s	looked like Odin's had it at the
9824s	beginning
9825s	uh pretty solidly but then they got to
9828s	claim or call tackled it looked really
9830s	dire for them for a very long time after
9832s	that but they were they're able to do
9834s	like a really they were really good I
9836s	think with their shot calling where they
9837s	would like put a little bit of damage
9839s	onto one target force uh templates to
9842s	put the heavy rep bots on that Target
9844s	and as soon as they saw the Red Bulls
9845s	going over to the new Target they would
9846s	swap back to a new Target or swap back
9848s	to the old Target they were doing so
9849s	they're playing mind games and they were
9851s	able to over time just slowly break
9854s	through things like they got the
9855s	crucifier then they were able to go like
9858s	get through the arbitrator after like
9860s	tricking them into like putting the red
9862s	button the Deacon for a while and then I
9864s	think the Deacon burned out of range uh
9867s	of the arbitrator because it's just
9868s	trying to mitigate as much damage as
9869s	possible and so he just wasn't in range
9871s	of the arbitrator for a crucial amount
9873s	of time and then just died so yeah and
9876s	then that's that's the point where we
9877s	got into the first hiding owners were
9879s	able to clean up yeah that was a an
9881s	incredible match I'm sure those Pilots
9882s	were very very stressed during that part
9884s	now let's look forward our next match
9886s	which is going to be between V4 and
9888s	Volta and platinum sensitivity so let's
9890s	take a look at the bands for this
9893s	so Volta banging out the abandon the
9896s	pontifex and the Magus Platinum
9898s	sensitivity bang at the jackdaw the EOS
9900s	and the Loki uh mystical might what do
9902s	you make of these bands here oh fairly
9904s	interesting bands coming out from both
9906s	teams I will note that having looked
9908s	back through some of the Platt sense and
9910s	the we form vaulted comps it does seem
9912s	like we form Volta have essentially just
9913s	run Shield Rush each match whereas
9916s	Platinum sensitivity have just been
9917s	running 3bs core each match I don't
9920s	remember if Platinum sensitivity have
9921s	actually been using the abandon so it's
9923s	interesting to see that band coming out
9924s	here it doesn't seem like it's a
9926s	targeted ban it might just be the fact
9928s	that we from vulture are changing up
9929s	their plan a little bit and the abaddin
9931s	Apparently as as the amazing utility
9935s	mode that it is
9936s	um it's not something that they don't
9937s	want to come up against
9938s	um abandon's known for being High Dam
9940s	High DPS but it doesn't have any e-war
9942s	bonuses so it's purely a damage and tank
9944s	ship that they're that they're banging
9946s	at a banding out here yeah it doesn't
9948s	have the most projection out of the book
9949s	with Scorch uh it can project quite far
9952s	the greatest animal in the game I'm told
9954s	the teams are on grid so we can go to
9956s	the arena now and find out who will win
9958s	between Wi-Fi and Volta and platinum
9960s	sensitivity
9966s	hello everyone and welcome back we are
9969s	here with we form Volta vs Platinum
9971s	sensitivity
9973s	we form Volta coming in with a bar cast
9975s	two Navy Drakes Osprey two Navy Ospreys
9978s	and navy caracal stork hyena and
9980s	skybreaker a very caldari heavy missile
9983s	setup from we form Volta what does
9985s	platinum sensitivity bring to the table
9987s	yeah they've brought interestingly
9989s	enough a redeemer their Flagship
9991s	Vindicator a typhoon Fleet issue and
9995s	um double laundry freeze with some
9997s	assorted
9998s	um support interesting to see a bifrost
10001s	and a stork
10003s	um in an armor composition possibly uh
10006s	going with all e-ore mids not unlike
10008s	with what we saw in the tuskers versus
10011s	uh truth on a light match
10015s	we're definitely going to see a bit of
10016s	Rush from the Wii form Volta team they
10018s	are Geared for close range combat
10020s	they're gonna look to get right in there
10022s	which could be a dangerous proposition
10024s	for them with the Vindicator there
10026s	that said they've got the DPS to
10028s	absolutely headshot some of this
10030s	Platinum sensitivity team yeah to be
10033s	clear these are heavy missile Drake Navy
10035s	issues and Vargas so
10038s	um they may want to actually be keeping
10040s	away at range rather than just closing
10042s	in on zero and brawling outrageous Lee
10046s	with uh Vindicator and Redeemer here
10053s	it will be difficult however to do that
10055s	kiting when you're facing against a
10057s	stork and a bifrost as well as an
10059s	arbitrator that are sure to be full of
10062s	mid slot e-war that will greatly reduce
10065s	the effectiveness of these heavy
10067s	missiles to projected range
10070s	yeah I think you might be right I'm
10073s	looking more closely at those Drakes I
10074s	thought those were ham Drakes
10076s	I think you are right though we are
10079s	seeing some heavy missiles so they will
10080s	attempt to kite
10082s	the Platinum sensitivity team doesn't
10084s	really have a ton of projected damage
10086s	although that said the Redeemer can fit
10088s	some long range even if it's pulse fit
10090s	Scorch hits far
10093s	yeah and uh of note it looks like this
10096s	typhoon Fleet issue is torpedoes so they
10099s	are definitely on the Platinum side
10101s	wanting to fight in at close range
10104s	um and not really wanting to fight at
10107s	distance if that typhoon was fit with
10110s	Heavies oh and I don't know if it's
10112s	going to matter because that stork is
10114s	already
10115s	um kind of eating [ __ ] right now it's
10117s	getting put down into low armor uh it's
10119s	getting hit and now it's down
10122s	fabulous call from waveform Volta you
10124s	know the stork is going to have the
10125s	weakest armor tank on the enemy team the
10127s	bifrost will not be much better as it's
10129s	now getting its Shields taken out and
10131s	the armor will go relatively fast now
10133s	their Logistics should be more prepared
10135s	this time around but you can still see
10137s	it's steadily dropping they're getting
10138s	in some rep Cycles but it won't be
10140s	enough the bifrost just does not have
10142s	the low slots to fit a respectable armor
10144s	tank as it goes down and that's the
10146s	links off for platinum sensitivity yeah
10149s	and crucially it's also going to be a
10151s	lot of the mid-thought E War uh I can't
10153s	help but feel like this match was very
10155s	much lost in the draft phase for
10158s	platinum sensitivity you have a
10160s	Vindicator you know a tour typhoon Fleet
10163s	issue and a redeemer they're all very
10165s	very good at fighting in at close range
10167s	but I mean there's really nothing on
10170s	this Volta side that's going to be in a
10172s	close range typhoon Fleet is getting
10174s	fairly close to control freak and
10176s	thrantha's uh Drake Navy issue but
10178s	they're doing a better job than their
10180s	counterparts in Odin's call at not
10182s	getting caught by battleships so we'll
10184s	play to both of them
10186s	and unlike templar's khalsif's triple
10188s	Battleship core from one of the previous
10190s	matches fighting a missile kite comp
10191s	Platinum sensitivity does not have the
10194s	projected newts or projected webs to
10196s	snare one of those ships as they're
10198s	trying to turn they really don't have an
10201s	answer for this The Vindicator might get
10202s	lucky it might be able to microwave
10204s	drive around and get on top of someone
10206s	and land one of those webs but it's it
10209s	it's almost down to chance I think he
10211s	has managed to run down one of the
10213s	Drakes here control freak is now tackled
10215s	and webbed but it might be too little
10218s	too late here their arbitrator is
10219s	already taking damage the sky breaker is
10221s	taking some damage they've lost all the
10223s	shields off of their Logistics frigates
10225s	are also taking damage it's just too
10227s	much for them to keep track of and the
10228s	arbitrator goes down
10230s	yeah uh control freak or thrawn thrather
10233s	is was a little bit out of position
10235s	um uh
10237s	so now they're gonna lose a Thalia and
10240s	an arbitrator at the same time yeah I
10243s	mean they're gonna get the strike Navy
10244s	issue but that's all your Logie down and
10246s	at this point it's just gonna be a slow
10247s	death it'll be well very likely a 16 to
10251s	100 game hate I hate to call it with
10254s	seven minutes remaining on the clock but
10255s	that's kind of what it is when you lose
10257s	uh your laundry this early in the match
10259s	and don't have projection
10261s	yep I think you're right as the sky
10263s	breaker now also goes down these
10265s	battleships are starting to look more
10266s	and more lonely they've got a storm
10268s	bringer for company but that will not be
10270s	long for this world either They're Gonna
10271s	Come Away with this Drake kill but
10273s	already the we form Volta team has kited
10275s	away from that Drake so now they've
10278s	killed one thing there's really nothing
10279s	else for them to turn around and shoot
10281s	they've got a microwarp drive all the
10283s	way across the other side of the Arena
10285s	practically to get on top of something
10287s	and that is looking less and less likely
10289s	as their support continues to vaporize
10292s	yeah I mean unfortunately for platinum
10296s	sensitivity it feels like they got a
10298s	little bit predictable with their
10299s	compositions bringing essentially three
10302s	armored BS every time and Volta finally
10304s	called their Bluff
10306s	um a faction bar gift or Flagship at
10309s	Argus rather with those uh essentially
10311s	officer scrams is the very last thing
10315s	you want to run into as a Vindicator
10317s	you're just never going to be able to
10319s	close range against what will be 40
10321s	kilometer scrams and we see that The
10324s	Vindicator is just not able to get
10327s	anywhere near anything as this redeemer
10329s	is already down into half armor
10330s	the Redeemer is an interesting choice I
10333s	wonder what their game plan was bringing
10334s	the Deemer in it has been buffed but
10337s	it's still a lot of points for what it
10340s	actually brings to the table compared to
10341s	cheaper alternatives like the Armageddon
10343s	what do you think they were hoping for
10347s	um to be perfectly honest
10350s	um I'm not
10351s	100 on top of the meta as far why you
10355s	would bring a redeemer over the
10357s	Armageddon uh they must have seen
10359s	something in their training and testing
10361s	that made them feel like uh perhaps The
10364s	Tech 2 resists were more worth it over
10366s	the tech one that you would have in a
10370s	you know a Faction Armageddon but uh I
10373s	don't think it's going to matter too
10374s	much uh both
10376s	teams are about to good fight here
10379s	um typhoon Fleet issue already down into
10382s	mid to what will soon be low armor
10388s	yeah I think Platinum sensitivity maybe
10390s	just didn't keep up with the patches to
10392s	the Navy ships they just seemed dead set
10395s	and bring this comp they had the pawn
10397s	effects and the mega spanned out and
10398s	they replaced them with a stork and
10400s	bifrost rather than alter their setup
10402s	uh just some strange choices in the
10405s	drafting phase from Platinum sensitivity
10407s	and they're paying for it here we've got
10409s	this typhoon Fleet issue he's into half
10411s	armor he's dropping slowly he's trying
10413s	to hold on but there's really not much
10415s	he can do in response there's no targets
10418s	there tackled down for him his Torpedoes
10420s	will not reach effectively
10422s	uh there is a web now on the sky breaker
10424s	the sky breaker looks like it may have
10426s	been vindi Webb that is dropping speed
10428s	rapidly
10430s	but that will not change the course of
10432s	this match in in any material way
10435s	yeah I mean I don't want to make too
10438s	much fun of platinum sensitivity what
10440s	they brought would have done very very
10442s	well in an armor versus Armor match
10444s	where control would have been
10447s	um a key factor that's probably why you
10449s	would be bring the Redeemer again for
10450s	those who resist you would but
10453s	um and maybe they felt like they had to
10455s	go for kind of an all-in
10456s	raid there in order to have a chance
10460s	against Volta team that they're an
10461s	underdog against uh the sky breaker does
10463s	go down for reasons I don't totally
10466s	understand at this point they're just
10469s	killing off the typhoon Fleet issue at
10472s	this point and we'll see if Mark Bridges
10475s	is an honorable samurai warrior or if
10478s	he's going to try to micro jump drive
10479s	and spool himself out of the arena and
10482s	take his Flagship loot out with him
10484s	because zero and Michael jumps right
10487s	into the arena
10489s	you just get a loose though he's near
10491s	another micro jump unit we'll see if
10493s	he'll go two for two
10495s	yeah uh he's turning around so he's not
10497s	trying to uh take his loot out of the
10500s	arena with him he's trying to survive
10502s	the next three minutes of the match
10505s	which
10506s	you know it's understandable uh you want
10508s	to keep all of what is going to be
10511s	presumably very very expensive uh
10513s	faction and probably officer Webb's the
10517s	hyena however doing a pretty good job of
10519s	getting a drive-by web and paint that's
10521s	gonna be Tick Tock one of the better
10524s	Alliance tournament Players for the
10526s	Volta roster
10528s	we've seen calls and local to Kill The
10530s	Vindicator and not to let him boundary
10532s	violate he is doing his best to Mosey on
10535s	over to that other micro jump he's
10537s	heavily webbed though his speed is
10539s	dropping
10540s	it's crawling he has managed to get into
10542s	range though we're seeing the activation
10544s	animation and here he goes
10548s	he's microwork driving toward the other
10550s	side of the Arena he's not going for the
10552s	boundary here
10553s	yeah shot himself forward well away from
10556s	the enemy team but they're rapidly
10558s	repositioning to get tackle on him again
10560s	two minutes left in this match
10562s	yeah and one of the things about being a
10565s	Vindicator is that you're not going to
10566s	outrun what are heavy missile
10569s	um you know heavy missile boats the
10571s	heavy missile bolts are going to have no
10572s	trouble projecting to essentially all of
10574s	the Arena now that there's two minutes
10576s	left in the match he's about half armor
10578s	he's trying to burn for one of uh the
10581s	far micro jump drive beacons but I don't
10583s	think he's gonna get there uh Tick Tock
10585s	is too on the ball getting the web and
10589s	he's gonna slow him down that's going to
10591s	be X-Type rappers but I don't think that
10593s	Marcus gonna be able to hold out for the
10595s	next minute in 40 seconds and his local
10598s	defense bar is is pretty girthy for
10601s	being one ship so he has some I can't
10603s	even begin to imagine how expensive
10605s	those rappers are uh but it's still not
10608s	enough there's just too much of the
10610s	waveform Volta team still alive they've
10611s	got damaged drones they've got uh high
10614s	damage High projection missiles they
10616s	don't really have to worry about kiting
10618s	around so they can definitely swap to
10619s	rage here and do everything they can to
10621s	try to put him away there's one minute
10623s	left he does have a pretty thick
10625s	structure he's still pulling back armor
10627s	it is conceivable that they just don't
10630s	have the DPS to bring him down within
10632s	the time limit of the match and that's
10634s	really what he's playing for here he's
10635s	playing for time this is all taking
10637s	place on Tranquility this is real isk
10639s	it's not a test server so there is a
10642s	considerable incentive for him to try to
10644s	stay alive here but he is now hitting
10646s	structure and it's going away much more
10648s	rapidly than mark would like yeah that's
10650s	going to probably depend if any guard
10652s	debt is or is not on a Reload and he is
10654s	not on a Reload he is clipping him out
10656s	and that'll be the end of that so uh
10659s	Tick Tock and the rest of the Volta team
10661s	is rushing to try to scoop that loot
10664s	hopefully the referees give them enough
10665s	time to pick up that very expensive
10668s	Flagship kill
10670s	um
10671s	I really don't think Platinum
10673s	sensitivity really could have done
10674s	anything differently in that match
10676s	unfortunately but let's see what the
10677s	desk has to say about that as we send it
10679s	back to them
10696s	[Music]
10700s	[Applause]
10708s	so I was up
10722s	Pump It Up why your team is stumping and
10726s	today I'm so pumping look here at the
10728s	ground is jumping pump it up a little
10731s	more get the party going on the Dance
10733s	Floor
10734s	foreign
10763s	Volta there taking the victory over
10765s	Platinum sensitivity Platinum
10767s	sensitivity still in the tournament they
10769s	are knocked down to the lower bracket at
10770s	this point unfortunately for them they
10772s	could not retain the uh the last
10775s	remaining one structure hit point which
10777s	is the most important hit point in the
10778s	game of Evon line of their Flagship
10779s	Vindicator and that has gone down I'm
10782s	told we will get to kill me as soon as
10783s	possible is 55 no more than that 75
10786s	billion isk Flagship Vindicator that is
10789s	a spicy meatball right there uh yeah
10792s	there's a core Max modified damage
10794s	control in the low slots there 36
10795s	billion alone so Mark Bridges did a
10798s	great job trying to survive at the end
10799s	there he managed to pull it out for
10801s	about three minutes or so unfortunately
10802s	he needed three minutes 40 seconds uh
10804s	which was a bit of a shame Mr come out
10806s	you were talking uh during well he was
10808s	jumping from Beacon to Beacon uh that he
10810s	got his angles wrong one of them what
10811s	happened yeah so we've kind of brushed
10814s	over it a few times in some of these
10816s	matches where we say that they're
10817s	burning back towards an mjd beacon in
10819s	the arena in the arena there are a bunch
10821s	of MJG baby can set out in a square
10823s	formation with one in the middle if you
10826s	jump from one corner of the square to
10828s	another there are exactly 100 kilometers
10830s	apart so you can effectively chain mjd
10833s	around the arena constantly which does
10836s	allow you to
10837s	if you're in this case trying to run
10839s	away from the enemy team with your
10840s	Flagship Vindicator avoid the damage
10842s	what Mark ended up doing is that he went
10845s	for an mjd at a poor angle which sent
10848s	him in between four different mjd units
10850s	but none of them were Within Reach and
10853s	Tick Tock in the hyena is able to burn
10855s	in and web mark down so that he can't
10857s	get to those mjd beacons to continue
10859s	jumping around so yeah I think with a
10862s	little bit less Panic a little bit more
10863s	planning on that initial mjd that we saw
10866s	um he would have just lived for the
10867s	entire time but it's a 75 billionis
10870s	mistake yeah that is a expensive mistake
10874s	um speaking of not mistakes CCP cash or
10876s	you really liked after we saw that match
10878s	the bands that Volta had done you
10879s	thought they were very targeted tell me
10880s	about that yeah so really full it really
10882s	felt like Volta had their number they
10884s	only bought the triple armor core team
10886s	over and over again so Volta decided to
10889s	ban out the pontifex and the Magus which
10891s	are the the armor command destroyers
10893s	which meant that to bring that same
10895s	setup
10896s	Platinum sensitivity bought a buy for us
10898s	on a stock instead but the buy first on
10900s	the stalker just you know they don't
10901s	have much of a tank at all right the
10903s	stock only has two low slots the buy for
10905s	study has free low slots both of them
10907s	have pretty huge explosive holes so and
10910s	that are pretty hard to hard to feel
10912s	when you only have two weeks lots and
10913s	three low slots so it feels like they
10916s	force them into bringing that they knew
10917s	that they were going to bring that and
10918s	then they just blew those ships up
10919s	straight away at the start of the match
10920s	and then without links it was just so
10922s	hard for them to pin anything down and
10925s	Volta aside from you know a few ships
10927s	getting tackled and killed they've
10929s	pretty much executed it almost perfectly
10931s	and just completely destroyed them
10933s	yeah I was just going to say in terms of
10935s	the bands that we saw as well I would
10937s	have liked if the Platinum sensitivity
10939s	team had perhaps targeted their bands a
10941s	little bit more towards what Vault had
10943s	actually been flying earlier in the
10945s	tournament as they have effectively
10947s	flown kadari Rush
10949s	in both of their other matches and now
10951s	they've flown kadari kite in another one
10953s	so a couple of targeted bands towards
10955s	that setup would have also impacted this
10957s	setup as well
10958s	excellent well as I say we will see
10960s	Platinum sensitivity again uh this was
10962s	the winners bracket match so they
10963s	dropped down there is one match
10965s	remaining in the winners bracket uh to
10967s	get the uh the four remaining in that
10970s	particular bracket the rest of the
10971s	team's all being knocked down and we
10972s	will see some elimination matches after
10974s	the break but first let's go to jintan
10976s	with a quick interview with the captain
10977s	of Brave Collective
10979s	first of all can you introduce yourself
10981s	to the audience please I am doing I and
10984s	I represent the brave Collective
10987s	Alliance and what does brave do on
10989s	Tranquility outside of the tournament we
10992s	fight people for fun uh we're a
10994s	reasonably large uh Null Sec Alliance we
10998s	were
10999s	founded seven and a bit years ago and we
11004s	live in pure blind where we're currently
11006s	at war with uh fraternity we are known
11009s	for having a good attitude towards
11013s	fights and a lot of people come to our
11016s	uh solve systems in order to fight us
11019s	and our standing Fleet we are a
11022s	mid-sized Alliance compared to the
11024s	largest ones but uh yeah we we enjoy
11028s	fighting a lot
11030s	so what's Brave collective's competitive
11033s	history are there any major results that
11035s	you've had or you know players from
11037s	teams you've done well in the past
11039s	we have a pretty unbroken line of
11043s	tournament Players
11046s	I was on the team
11049s	for an 80 many many years ago
11053s	and
11055s	after that I was not very engaged with
11060s	um
11060s	that aspect of Eve despite the fact that
11065s	I got into Eve in order to play
11067s	tournaments in the uh the first time I
11070s	tried
11072s	but I think we have an unbroken line of
11076s	tournament Players all the way back to
11078s	our first tournament more or less
11080s	currently
11082s	on the team we have now we have our
11086s	previous Captain who is sandor Vol and
11091s	he actually took over for
11093s	um the person who is currently CCP
11096s	Aurora
11097s	so
11099s	we've um we've had a tournament team for
11103s	as long as I've been in Brave and
11107s	our best result I think is
11111s	I think we got top eight one year that's
11113s	before my time
11115s	other than that we
11117s	are probably more a mid-tier team
11121s	are there any teams that you're excited
11123s	to face either as a chance to get
11125s	revenge or to prove yourself we have uh
11128s	a lot of Frenemies in the tournaments in
11131s	people who we compete against measure
11134s	ourselves against and practice with
11137s	and anyone who's ever knocked us out of
11141s	a tournament is always on the top of our
11143s	list of teams that we want to face again
11145s	and prove that that time was a fluke and
11148s	this is the time that really counts like
11151s	last year we were knocked out by um
11154s	bsod and we'd like to fly against them
11157s	again and show that we can go
11160s	head-to-head against the people we like
11162s	to fly against
11166s	AR Brave Collective no cursed by jintan
11169s	uh so just a quick Amendment on the
11172s	flagship Vindicator we just lost in the
11173s	last match we've reviewed it a little
11174s	bit closer there was a Tobias modified
11177s	status webifier on it which is
11178s	approximately 60 70 billion at the
11180s	minute so the total value of that
11182s	um Flagship indicator probably more like
11184s	120 to 140 billion ISC that is many many
11188s	isks now let's take a quick look at the
11190s	bands for this match coming up lock
11192s	range enjoys versus brief Collective
11195s	so lock range enjoy is Banning out the
11197s	bar gas the EOS and the Osprey Navy
11199s	issue with brave Banning out the curse
11201s	the Drake and Aviation the hyena
11202s	mystical Knight what do you see here uh
11205s	hmm I think it's interesting that we're
11206s	seeing an osprey Navy issue band since
11208s	it's been essential for a lot of the
11209s	kardari rush comes that we've seen
11211s	um so typically with the kadari rush
11212s	you'll see Navy caracals and navy
11213s	Ospreys since they do quite a bit of
11215s	damage and they're also fairly cheap
11217s	points wise the Drake Navy Band on the
11219s	brave collector's side makes me think
11221s	that they're trying to remove kiting a
11222s	little bit especially when paired with
11223s	the hyena since uh Drake Navy issues
11226s	less common in the rush rolls and more
11228s	common in the kardari kite setups that
11231s	we've been seeing earlier in the day and
11233s	uh also last weekend but yeah I mean the
11236s	curse ban is always a standard
11238s	and CPS or anything to add to this no I
11240s	think Misty has pretty much spot on here
11243s	um I don't really see these bands being
11245s	super specific other than Brave probably
11247s	trying to avoid kiting if they can
11250s	especially combined with the curse band
11252s	as well they might be trying to bring
11253s	something like double the shack uh get
11255s	it get rid of the like Fast cutting
11257s	stuff get rid of the curse which is the
11259s	major biggest obstacle to bring a double
11261s	check then you can bring just a little
11263s	shark or a big armor core and boss at
11266s	least force them to run like a more
11268s	sub-optimal cutting setup if they are
11270s	going to yeah so it's time to go into
11272s	three and find out who will win between
11273s	lock range Enduros and brave Collective
11275s	as we could know
11283s	hello I am moderator joined by my
11286s	colleague Alexander for yet another
11288s	Shield kite versus uh armor brawling
11291s	matchup we see that lock range enjoyers
11293s	is going to enjoy targeting things at a
11296s	long distance with that triple Navy
11298s	executor comp we've seen get used along
11301s	with what appear to be artillery slept
11306s	nears and hurricane flit issue against
11309s	um the armor comp of Brave uh walk
11311s	through that armor cop for me here
11313s	Brave's armor comp is Senator Iran a
11315s	leshack Navy getting in a fleet Tempest
11318s	they've got Magus Ponte for links to
11320s	Logistics frigates and simple heretic
11322s	vexer giving them some tackle that some
11324s	of the previous armored Battleship comps
11326s	have lacked
11328s	so we've seen this kind of triple
11330s	executive Navy
11331s	um so far in the event why would someone
11333s	to choose to use that many points on
11336s	those ships
11337s	well they have been recently buffed they
11339s	are quite good
11341s	um they are extremely fast so if you
11344s	want to talk some kind of kiting setup
11346s	they're already fantastic for that
11348s	they've got an intense speed and with
11351s	the railguns the amount of damage bonus
11353s	they get gives them a pretty respectable
11354s	Alpha which works well with the fleet
11356s	Kane Seffner they have going on as we
11358s	see that heretic it's sniped out
11360s	immediately yeah that's going to be the
11362s	power of 720 artillery uh backed by
11365s	railguns and they're still able to track
11368s	things that they're putting damage onto
11369s	a vexer they're putting damage onto
11371s	athalia and just now while Retros are
11373s	getting on top of that Thalia I mean if
11375s	this Thalia goes down already it's going
11378s	to be probably game but uh he is
11380s	apparently stabilizing we see that
11382s	Adrian is uh on top of things getting
11385s	reps to his friend uh meanwhile the
11388s	vexer
11389s	um taking a lot of drone damage
11391s	yeah the locker engine jar is making the
11393s	most out of the surprise of their
11396s	artillery and Alpha strike comp taking
11398s	that heretic out that is one half of the
11400s	fast tackle for brave now they've
11401s	switched over to Omega it's an
11403s	absolutely evaporated him you're seeing
11405s	a theme here where they're able to kill
11406s	these destroyers with uh alarming
11409s	rapidity as the spiffle now stripped of
11412s	its Shields half armor dropping into
11414s	structure these ships are dying so
11416s	quickly the logistics frigates from
11418s	braver having a difficult time reacting
11420s	and being destroyers they are easy
11422s	targets he's dipping ever so slightly
11426s	now is oh he's gone oh yeah that's harsh
11429s	That's The Power of 720 artillery we
11432s	haven't seen a lot of it in this
11433s	tournament so far but uh Locker range
11435s	enjoyers uh reminding us why it's
11437s	effective why it's been brought in so
11438s	many events and uh that's going to be
11441s	one link shift down I can't help but
11442s	feel like the pontifex of Arcos that's
11444s	being primaried is definitely going to
11447s	be the next kill Target here we're just
11450s	gonna wait for that artillery to keep
11451s	loading and seeing if the Folly and
11454s	Deacon which are in range can apply to
11458s	that however blue morpheme is getting
11460s	applied to as well uh this vulture
11462s	that's not very fast is being chased
11465s	down by a lecheck that slowly but surely
11467s	spooling up on him yeah the lock range
11470s	enjoyers have moved to the edge of the
11472s	range literally to the edge of the Arena
11474s	they've found themselves in a position
11475s	where they had to turn around but as
11477s	they did they found the triple
11478s	Battleship core hot on their heels
11480s	they've pinned down this vulture he's
11482s	getting neuted out and now he's down
11483s	that is a pretty significant chunk of
11486s	links off of law grade enjoyers as well
11488s	but critically not the Skirmish links
11490s	they're going to want the most
11492s	demanding position here as they pop the
11494s	phalia from Brave Collective that's
11496s	taking out half their lodgy that means
11498s	the other Deacon will be sure to follow
11500s	quickly yeah however speaking of that
11502s	we're going to see a logic trade the
11503s	vexer of Aaron Gaul has been on top of
11506s	10 Baron for the last 20 seconds or so
11508s	and that's going to be essentially
11510s	trading out
11511s	an osprey for the entire support wing of
11515s	Brave I think lock range is going to be
11516s	pretty happy to take that as we see the
11520s	vexer go down and the Deacon continue to
11523s	have a cloud of drones and railguns on
11526s	top of him so 10 drops at the same time
11528s	but it's three battleships versus a
11530s	world right now
11531s	yep and uh the lock range team has
11533s	already kited away from those
11534s	battleships there's no immediate clear
11536s	Target for them to turn on as I say that
11538s	though the hurricane Fleet issue from
11540s	Lock range enjoyers barreling straight
11542s	toward them in a very curious decision
11545s	uh he is slowed down I think he's
11547s	realized this error and he started to
11549s	turn it doesn't look like they are going
11551s	to make him pay for it although okay so
11554s	they're going after the striker Eric's
11557s	Navy extra they've landed a long range
11559s	nude on him what they're going to hope
11560s	for is that that Newt turns off his
11562s	micro warp drive but you can see him
11563s	speeding along at 2300 meters a second
11565s	and Rising the speed of the Navy X
11568s	occurred not to be underestimated
11570s	meanwhile you ever again a Navy issue is
11572s	about to pay the iron price he is going
11574s	down and that is a tremendous amount of
11576s	their remaining long-range tackle
11579s	yeah they may very well kill Striker
11581s	Erica with the uh cable utas
11585s	um
11585s	entropic
11587s	um well damage dealer
11589s	um now actually out of range of him the
11591s	slept near we see a lot of ships from
11594s	um lock range getting to mid-range
11597s	trying to apply more damage instead of
11599s	going to
11601s	um you know kite at
11603s	um you know all full distance but with
11605s	lower damage ammo uh lock range realizes
11608s	that they can fully win the DPS trade
11610s	comfortably with what they have trying
11612s	to break any sort of active tank that do
11614s	check and now laid in head and with that
11616s	I think we're what 043 maybe over four
11620s	on uh interviews that Jim Thomas had
11623s	before a match
11625s	and also my point betting
11629s	that said uh the fleet Tempest now he's
11631s	now dipping into half armor it looks
11633s	like Striker Erica's Navy Exeter is safe
11635s	they've switched over to grunkata's
11637s	schleffner he is grappled and neuted now
11641s	he's broken the grapple it's hard to say
11643s	if he'll be able to escape with his life
11645s	the Seffner has a very thick tank
11647s	uh he is going to be able to hold on for
11649s	a while the fleet Tempest meanwhile
11651s	cannot say the same as he dips into
11652s	structure here leaving cable it is the
11654s	Shack by itself The Shack a fantastic
11657s	ship both in the tournament and in
11659s	Tranquility but not enough to one-man
11661s	Army against a kiting cop like this
11664s	yeah I mean the lock range enjoy your
11667s	team is something that I think a few
11669s	people have slept on uh they were
11670s	essentially the uh what we now know is
11673s	the better half of um only need uh two
11677s	comps that made it to top four in the
11680s	previous Alliance tournament
11681s	um the French half or portion of that
11684s	team getting eliminated whereas lock
11686s	range enjoyers you know getting into top
11688s	eight with this victory over Brave
11691s	Collective
11692s	um showing that they very much belong in
11695s	this upper echelon of teams
11697s	yeah Loch Ranger jurors are a higher
11699s	class of gentlemen uh you know you
11702s	they enjoy the Finer Things in life they
11704s	enjoy locking from long range primarily
11707s	and their comps that for the most part
11709s	reflected that and it's brought them a
11711s	lot of success here it looks like
11712s	gruncato's leftner will probably go down
11715s	here he's in very low armor that said Le
11719s	Shack has stopped applying any
11720s	meaningful damage to him likely because
11722s	of that tracking disruptor just out of
11724s	range breaking the spool
11726s	uh you've also got Striker Erica's
11728s	executor probably in range now the Le
11731s	Shack switching targets and bringing him
11733s	down but it's going to be minor
11735s	consolation as cable UDA himself drops
11738s	into structure and he will die presently
11741s	this was a very exciting match these
11743s	triple armor Battleship cord not doing
11746s	well against the kite cop meta that has
11748s	been dominant today as this Le Shack oh
11751s	yes I was gonna say as he dies he gets
11753s	one last gasp of armor in and he goes
11756s	down we'll throw it back to the desk to
11758s	break this down
11775s	[Music]
11779s	[Applause]
11784s	[Music]
11791s	thank you
11802s	[Applause]
11815s	connected Channel switched well it would
11818s	have been an easy fight right but guess
11820s	what dude I'm not seeing it people can't
11822s	get together
11827s	crash our enemies your temps are
11830s	completely damned out Crush I'm dumped
11832s	out I'm dumped out get on that Travis
11834s	boys
11844s	there you are so lock range drawers
11846s	taking the victory over Brave Collective
11848s	uh in a very convincing win there uh
11851s	we've actually gone through during that
11853s	match and updated some of our graphs uh
11855s	to bring them totally up to date let's
11856s	take a look now uh so as we can see here
11858s	the win rate after displaying gentile's
11861s	interview remains a solid zero percent
11864s	um that is a pretty effective curse if
11867s	I've ever seen one uh so again captains
11869s	if you want us to hold back your
11870s	interviews uh please do get in touch so
11872s	we can ignore you uh now we are going to
11875s	go to a break and then we'll be back for
11876s	some more explosions shortly
11882s	welcome back to Alliance tournament 18 I
11885s	am TCP overload joined once again by
11887s	mystical mate and Yin tan and we have
11890s	more matches more explosions uh and I'm
11892s	an explosion enjoyer mystical matter
11893s	you're an explosion enjoyer if they're
11895s	the right type of explosion I might not
11897s	be an enjoyer of explosions in this next
11899s	match interesting you should say that
11900s	this next match is going to be truth
11902s	honor light versus dark side so we are
11905s	now in elimination matches because truth
11907s	on a light dropped a match aileron to
11909s	the tuskers co and now they're fighting
11911s	for their lives now they're in a
11912s	situation where if they don't win this
11914s	best of one series they're out and the
11916s	dark side team is a good team Mr I was
11919s	going to say actually we're fighting for
11920s	skins because uh the more matches you
11923s	win the more skins you get it's not
11924s	something that we typically mention and
11926s	going through a loser's bracket run
11928s	means that you play more matches more
11930s	matches equals more wins equals more
11932s	skins awesome then where exactly are you
11934s	hiding the rest of your corpium because
11935s	I can't see it from here I've used up my
11937s	Supply there are a few empty cans under
11940s	the desk I'm gonna have to run to get
11942s	more during the next match let's take a
11944s	look at the bands for this upcoming
11945s	match and see what these teams have
11946s	chosen to ban out
11951s	so truth on a light binding out the
11953s	Ishtar Stratus and bar guest and
11955s	Darkseid Banning out the slept near
11956s	jackdot and Scimitar interesting clips
11958s	of bands uh jintan the Stratos we saw I
11960s	believe Dutch said using asratios but is
11963s	it bandworthy
11964s	um I don't know but it seems like truth
11965s	on a light maybe either haven't prepped
11967s	against it or have prepped uh have done
11969s	enough testing to know that it beats one
11970s	of the comps that they really favor what
11972s	I find interesting about this band
11973s	choice is that Darkseid have gone for
11975s	something completely different for what
11976s	they've previously banned
11978s	um historically they've banned the
11980s	balgorn Scimitar and the curse that's
11983s	been their band for their previous three
11984s	matches
11985s	um so it's going to be you know maybe
11987s	they're planning to use one of those
11988s	ships or maybe they just think they have
11990s	a read on what truth on the light are
11992s	going to bring and want to completely
11993s	shut that down
11995s	let's commit is that true did they have
11997s	a read on you
11998s	uh I will confirm or deny any comments
12002s	and statements after this match okay
12004s	we'll see all right we'll see all right
12006s	so uh predictions I know what you're
12007s	predicting yeah Dark Side of course I'm
12010s	going to protect Tristan a light then to
12012s	character in my circle my jintan uh yeah
12014s	I'm gonna predict truth on a light as
12016s	well you know ducks are a great team but
12018s	uh I think truth on will I have this and
12021s	do you have an interview with uh truth
12022s	on the light by any chance no I do not
12024s	that's a shame oh well let's go to the
12025s	arena and find out who's going to win
12027s	between truth on a light and dark side
12033s	foreign
12035s	back with my broadcast partner moderator
12038s	as we unveiled truth honor and light
12041s	versus Darkseid truth honor and light
12043s	has brought a flagship bargast EOS a
12047s	neros orthos double Blackbird pontifex
12050s	Sentinel carries vexer the armor orthrus
12053s	by Kadesh Priestess very interested to
12056s	see how this works out for them
12057s	moderator what if Darkseid brought to
12059s	the field
12061s	uh well Darkseid has chosen to bring a
12065s	heavy missile kite comp with two healers
12068s	supported by a Loki for some webs and a
12071s	scalpel Kieran for their Logistics it'll
12074s	be interesting to see
12077s	um
12077s	how these teams choose to kind of Face
12080s	Off against each other with
12082s	um Bargas you know we usually think of
12084s	that as a essentially a shield ship but
12088s	it does really work well in armor comps
12091s	as well especially if you bring a flag
12093s	bar gift like Dexter axio has that will
12097s	essentially have a 40 kilometer scram
12099s	that will be pretty effective at chasing
12101s	down these kiting ships
12105s	yeah the distributed scrams on the truth
12107s	honor Light Team certainly I would think
12110s	hoping to keep these teams at range or
12111s	if they're against a kite comp it'll
12113s	greatly increase their ability to pin
12114s	them down when they try to turn we're
12116s	about to kick this match off as links
12118s	have popped and we'll see how this match
12121s	develops Darkseid likely looking to stay
12124s	away do you think or do you expect them
12126s	to try to go in
12128s	uh I mean I think they have to stay away
12130s	you're in a Kai cop you have to do that
12132s	even if
12133s	um circumstances make that difficult you
12136s	still have to play to the strengths of
12138s	your setup and go with that off the bat
12140s	we're seeing that there is some
12143s	disruption coming from The Sentinel of
12146s	knife hiking that will be onto the
12148s	Nighthawk and the Navy drink makes sense
12151s	it's the two heaviest damaging
12153s	um heavy missile ships in the entire
12155s	Dark Side comp meanwhile Nick domar is
12158s	having his Shields chipped away as he
12161s	along with his bar guest buddy is
12163s	closing in
12164s	against that dark side kite comp
12167s	and looked for a moment like the
12168s	broadcast might have been going for the
12169s	micro jump unit but it will instead
12171s	decide to Barrel into the dark side team
12173s	and more conventionally it's looking for
12175s	its initial scram hasn't quite found it
12177s	yet but you are seeing these ecms the
12180s	damps it's all being distributed out to
12182s	the dark side team meanwhile Darkseid
12184s	concentrating all the control they have
12186s	on the bar guest trying to isolate it
12189s	and insulate themselves from its damage
12191s	and Tackle as much as humanly possible
12193s	yeah they do have webs that will be the
12195s	hyena of Eva Zen or possibly the Loki of
12199s	fafi wafi we see that knife is a
12203s	brainstorm rather is using his carries
12205s	to try to
12207s	um you know mitigate the range of those
12210s	long range ships we see uh the carries
12212s	taking a little bit of damage but that's
12214s	just from
12215s	um with some drones and possibly a
12218s	little bit of missiles he's pretty safe
12220s	at the moment uh Dexter's taking again
12223s	Shield damage but
12224s	um he's been able to hold down this Fly
12226s	Catcher And it looks like hydra's just
12228s	going to try to play against the low end
12230s	now that they've got that scrammed
12232s	aheen and the Loki are playing a very
12234s	dangerous game here their web range is
12236s	not going to be much further than the
12237s	Bargas scram range they are at risk of
12240s	getting scrammed at any moment looks
12242s	like the fly catcher of tick tocks has
12244s	been caught he's gonna drop very rapidly
12246s	there uh that is the first Blood over to
12249s	truth honor light but they are not in
12251s	that commanding of a position both teams
12253s	kind of jockeying around for that
12254s	Advantage right now
12256s	um that said we have a scram onto the
12259s	Loki that will be Dexter axio so I mean
12262s	that's pretty pivotal if you can break a
12264s	Loki and even if brainstross carries
12267s	which is taking damage from again a
12269s	cloud of light drones you're pretty
12271s	happy with that uh the lookie going down
12273s	into about half
12275s	um shield and the hyena getting in maybe
12278s	a little bit too close and will go down
12280s	to uh rapid lights
12283s	not even tackle the hyena just being
12285s	deleted the Loki it is a shield tank
12288s	Loki it's got about half of its Shield
12289s	remaining a little bit over it is
12291s	getting some reps so it's not I mean I
12295s	wouldn't be panicking if I were the Loki
12297s	pilot but he's definitely not in a great
12298s	position with that scram from the bar
12300s	guest he is going to be absolutely
12302s	isolated there the team kind of has to
12304s	play around him because he's pinned they
12307s	have to decide if they're going to get
12308s	into range of the Bargas and commit or
12311s	leave him to die and now we see truth
12313s	honor light going after the scalpel
12315s	which has come in to rep the Loki
12317s	scalpel not necessarily going to have a
12320s	micro warp drive there so he was not as
12323s	much risk from the bar guest but still
12325s	dangerous if they go down then the uh
12328s	Karen will go down followed by the rest
12329s	of their team in short order yeah so um
12332s	Hydra is just ignoring the low key so
12334s	Dexter axio still has a scram on it from
12336s	range and now the vexer of China Tech
12338s	has to pass it off but what they've done
12339s	is completely isolated the Loki with the
12341s	scram and now the bar guest is free to
12343s	get on top of uh targets of opportunity
12346s	they have a scram Newt jams on top of
12348s	the Kirin of recorder us they're going
12350s	to continue applying damage to him and
12353s	I'm thinking he's going to go down
12354s	pretty soon the scalpel doesn't look
12356s	like he has enough Red Power with what
12359s	heider is putting out to really keep
12361s	that Kieran up uh excellent job of uh
12364s	orante that'll be Jordan and warpout uh
12367s	putting on jams and putting pressure so
12369s	the Cure goes down scalp will soon to
12371s	follow yeah the scalpel was jammed out
12373s	for the majority of that kieran's damage
12375s	cycle they are going to try to trade
12377s	some damn image back on the Sentinel
12379s	vexer and pontifex the Sentinel may even
12381s	go down here but that is not worth it
12383s	for Dark Side losing that Kieran was a
12385s	huge huge loss their Nighthawk is also
12388s	tackled Down The Gila scrammed down and
12390s	webbed they're losing considerable
12392s	chunks of their team not yet Perhaps but
12395s	they are lined up in queue for truth
12397s	honor like to pick off at their Leisure
12399s	because without that second Logistics
12401s	forget how it's a scapula is very easily
12403s	controlled and they can kill it anytime
12405s	they want meanwhile The Gila is taking
12407s	significant fire he's down to one-third
12409s	Shield trying to claw back but it's a
12411s	losing battle Yeah if you look at
12414s	darkseid's control bar they have nothing
12415s	left in the tank
12417s	um General Hungary is completely safe
12419s	right now and truthfully with what dark
12421s	side has right now if they don't kill
12423s	General Hungary somehow or new to life
12426s	him from the fight hydra's just going to
12428s	run away with this 100 to know oh I say
12430s	that his brainstra gets rather low and
12433s	might even die if he's in about half
12435s	whole but now getting wrapped up
12437s	um that said the Gila down into low
12441s	Shields continuing to be the primary
12443s	um the pontifex now getting on top as
12446s	the bar guest is scramming the stork so
12448s	Hydra just very surgically picking apart
12451s	uh different targets of opportunity
12454s	holding things down and look at the
12456s	e-war that's being applied to Dark Side
12458s	truth on our light maxing out that
12460s	control bar
12461s	yeah and you mentioned General hungary's
12464s	aniros he is not under threat right now
12466s	a couple Dark Side ships have a direct
12468s	line to him but they're not going for it
12470s	this healer will drop
12471s	followed perhaps by the Blackbird he is
12474s	taking a lot of fire blackbird's not
12476s	exactly known for their tank but the ECM
12478s	is going to be breaking up a lot of the
12480s	ability for Darkseid to be coordinated
12482s	with their fire and they are losing
12484s	their DPS core now
12486s	yeah and I mean again this is the power
12488s	of a flagship Bargas I think Hydra was
12490s	absolutely 100 right to bring that
12492s	you're in the lower bracket match you
12494s	know you need to win this in order to
12496s	get into the best out of eight
12499s	um for Hydra anything less than first
12501s	place they consider to be something of a
12503s	failure so this is where you go For
12505s	Broke bring your kind of your end game
12507s	Flagship uh setups and what they had is
12511s	very effective as we're seeing them just
12512s	completely shut down dark side
12514s	yeah at this point the entire Dark Side
12517s	team is tackled down ironically except
12519s	for the Gila that they're currently
12520s	shooting
12521s	uh that Gila is jammed he's painted he
12524s	is taking enough fire to break his tank
12526s	so that's a matter of time
12528s	uh meanwhile not a not effective trading
12531s	going back from Dark Side they're trying
12533s	again for the carries of brainstra but
12535s	General Hungary zaniris has brainstra
12538s	covered he's been on top of that the
12540s	entire match right so I had a bit of a
12542s	scare getting into half uh structure but
12544s	he got pulled back pretty quickly and
12546s	now there's even less for the truth
12548s	honor light Logistics pilot to worry
12550s	about as dark side is losing their DPS
12553s	core they're losing it quite rapidly
12555s	although the Gill is actually to his
12557s	credit is beginning to stabilize and now
12559s	it seems like Darkseid has gotten the
12560s	memo and they are pivoting to try to
12561s	kill the nearest of General Hungary a
12564s	little bit too late but if Hungary is
12566s	poorly tanked I doubt it from truth
12567s	honor light but if he is that could be
12569s	their window back into some semblance of
12572s	a competitive match but they're going to
12574s	be paying for it here is the Drake Navy
12575s	issue of Sam Punisher is taking tons of
12578s	Fire
12578s	I mean we look at the ships like
12580s	everything either has a jam on it a damp
12582s	or a scram I mean that's pretty
12584s	traditional
12586s	um Hydra for you uh General Hungary the
12588s	damage on top of him was a pair of
12591s	Valkyries that are no longer within
12593s	targeting range and we see a cloud of
12596s	armor maintenance spots trying to top
12598s	him off as Sam Punisher continues to dip
12600s	lower into armor now Holland will be
12603s	popping any second now
12605s	um I don't know if truth on the light
12606s	will kill all the ships with only two
12608s	minutes left on the clock but uh showing
12610s	a very effective control setup against
12612s	this dark side roster
12616s	uh truth on our life perhaps on reloads
12618s	is the Drake Navy issue is still hanging
12620s	around at about one-third structure
12622s	pulling back some Shields but that Drake
12625s	uh much thinner than I think most of us
12628s	would expect this Shield bar went away
12630s	quite quickly perhaps trading out some
12632s	of those mid slots for electronic
12634s	warfare or tackle he's now pulling back
12636s	Shields that'll be from the scalpel it
12639s	will not be enough as soon as the bar
12640s	guest is off reload that will uh I will
12644s	tell you I will do it for Sam Hunter if
12645s	he's gonna head back to the locker room
12646s	uh
12648s	but after that it's really truth honor
12651s	lights uh call as to where to go next
12653s	the logistic file is just kind of
12655s	showing off spreading reps throughout
12656s	the entire team signaling to the
12658s	audience that they are not concerned at
12660s	all about what Darkseid has left in the
12662s	tank here they have their team well
12664s	controlled both of their blackbirds are
12667s	still alive they still have a sentinel
12668s	for newts and tracking disruption it's a
12671s	guidance disruption
12673s	um they haven't even lost their vexer
12674s	the carries and staff structure uh the
12678s	best case scenario for Darkseid not
12681s	quite enough to kill that carry as
12683s	they're trying again to Pivot back to
12685s	him but it's just not doing it yeah I'm
12687s	not quite sure if that attack bar is
12688s	glitch we just saw a stork recently go
12690s	down and Sam Punisher uh is continuing
12693s	to take damage now Sky killer Russian
12696s	um appears to be something of a primary
12698s	Sky killer being much closer to the rest
12700s	of the truth honor core and Sam Punisher
12702s	uh to his credit has burned to the
12705s	literal opposite side of the Arena away
12707s	from the truth honor light so uh that
12710s	Drake Navy issue will survive
12711s	unfortunately
12713s	um
12714s	darkseid's tournament run will not they
12717s	will be eliminated
12719s	um you know good fights in local this is
12721s	something of a kind of a Demi uh Grudge
12725s	Match you know with some of the Vita
12727s	core against Hydra the tournament
12730s	um you know typical one two between that
12732s	uh but you know we'll send it back to
12734s	the desk to break that one down
12754s	[Music]
12757s	[Applause]
12761s	yes
12763s	[Music]
12777s	[Music]
12794s	[Music]
12800s	thank you
12802s	[Music]
12822s	down
12824s	here
12825s	[Music]
12826s	[Applause]
12835s	well unfortunately for Darkseid the
12838s	future is bright for truth honor light
12840s	uh what's your thoughts mystical might
12843s	not even close
12845s	never doubted never doubt it easy no use
12849s	again I told you more skins
12851s	it's easy
12852s	straight to the finals talk to me about
12854s	that comp there so we saw um just want
12856s	to like bringing a bunch of ECM ships
12858s	there with a couple of blackbirds and it
12860s	looked like uh they were able to do some
12863s	good work especially when we saw the
12864s	logistics frigates of Darkseid get split
12866s	up one Jam one knot and then done like
12869s	what's the thought process behind
12870s	bringing ECM chips I mean the the
12872s	thought process is that you don't really
12873s	need as much damage if you have a lot of
12875s	control
12876s	um so we saw here that the truth on a
12878s	light team wasn't necessarily one of the
12879s	most high damage comps that we've seen
12881s	in this tournament in fact most other
12882s	comps that we've seen would have more
12884s	raw damage coming out but it's about the
12886s	application of that damage it usually
12888s	it's a fight between how much damage
12890s	we're doing versus how much they're
12891s	repping which is typically what we've
12893s	seen so far but with blackbirds you
12896s	remove their ability to rep which means
12898s	that the small amount of damage that
12899s	you're doing is going to remain the
12902s	content on that Target so it's less of a
12905s	battle to break through reps and it's
12907s	more about man making sure that you are
12909s	effectively tackling down your opponents
12912s	making sure they can't get on those
12913s	black birds and then just taking that
12915s	team apart bit by bit
12916s	gentan I feel like in this case the ECM
12919s	um can be a much more devastating
12920s	against Logistics frigates because the
12922s	logistics Cruisers tend to have a very
12924s	strong local tank they tend to be more
12925s	mobile able to get around the grid quite
12927s	well if they're jammed then usually that
12929s	means they can't wrap someone on their
12930s	team but you know that isn't necessarily
12932s	the end of the world because you're
12933s	talking religious ships however in a
12935s	logistics frigate if one of them gets
12937s	jammed the other one is almost certainly
12938s	going to die because they rely on each
12939s	other
12940s	um for for tank
12942s	what's your thoughts here on on bringing
12944s	Logistics frigates versus Logistics
12945s	Cruisers so Logistics forgets have the
12947s	advantage of being able to kind of uh
12950s	they allow you to bring more points what
12952s	we've typically seen is we've seen these
12953s	Logistics frigates be used in
12955s	compositions which require a heavy
12957s	investment in the top end either these
12959s	rushes or um three Battleship controls
12962s	it's especially good in through
12963s	Battleship controls because you have a
12965s	absolute ass load of repair for drones
12968s	to put on them so that even if it's
12971s	little buddy gets uh you know jammed out
12972s	or damped out or it gets tackled a
12975s	little too far away it gives that that
12977s	ship enough survivability that it can
12979s	survive for its friend to either get a
12982s	recycle or get back on top of it but
12985s	it's uh another reason why they are so
12987s	weak against ECM is that they actually
12989s	have a much more a much lower sensor
12992s	strength than the um the t2 Cruiser
12996s	counterparts and not only that but when
12998s	you're looking at these Shield ones they
13000s	don't have the spare mid slots to fit
13002s	sensor boosters so they're relying on
13004s	remote sensor boosters and when you've
13006s	got you know multiple black birds along
13008s	with carries and all other sites types
13010s	of just you know disgusting control
13012s	being applied to you it's very difficult
13014s	to utilize those effectively to stop
13017s	them from getting jammed awesome well
13019s	there you are disgusting control brought
13021s	by truth on the light and taking it to
13023s	find effect over Darkseid who are sadly
13025s	eliminated from the tournament as that
13027s	was indeed a elimination match now let's
13029s	look forward to our next elimination
13031s	match between templar's castlev and
13032s	Deepwater Hooligans and let's see if we
13034s	can check out the Bands
13036s	so templates calcif Banning out the Le
13039s	Shack the EOS and the jackdaw whereas
13041s	Deepwater Hooligans banning at the
13042s	Nighthawk they're locating The
13043s	Vindicator relatively standard bands Mr
13045s	glamite I'd say so uh I think the Jack
13047s	door is probably the one that we've seen
13048s	the least of out of these six ships that
13050s	are shown
13051s	um we have seen a jackdaw ban I believe
13053s	last weekend where they wanted to remove
13056s	armor Jack doors from the pool I think
13058s	they had a bad experience in their
13059s	previous match uh the team that banned
13061s	the director in that case uh and we've
13064s	discussed the perks of the armor Jack
13065s	door
13067s	um earlier on in this in this broadcast
13069s	so it is a strong ship it definitely
13071s	allows you to do a lot more than perhaps
13073s	you'd expect from an armor Jack door as
13076s	long as you can keep it alive so it
13078s	makes sense to see it banned here by
13079s	Templars they're a good team
13081s	one would expect they've made it to the
13083s	the second weekend they're playing for
13084s	Price ships
13085s	um they're going to know what the
13086s	strengths are of the armor jackdawg I
13089s	think they're also playing in this case
13090s	for pride and one of the things that
13091s	makes the line stream a little bit
13093s	unique compared to a lot of other
13094s	Esports is uh these alliances are based
13097s	on obviously the Tranquility alliances
13098s	the server we're all playing on and
13100s	these two groups are essentially at war
13102s	with each other right now uh templar's
13104s	calcif currently flying around with the
13105s	Wrecking Crew guys and being invaded by
13107s	Deepwater Hooligans so this is like a
13109s	pride and a grudge match it doesn't
13110s	really have any bearing on the war but
13112s	like as a morale point of view it's kind
13114s	of cool
13115s	um jintan what do you think of this I
13117s	think you're wrong when you say it
13118s	doesn't have any bearing on them all you
13120s	know in on the war
13122s	um Wars and Eve online are fought so
13123s	often about things like morale things
13125s	like Pride things about belief or
13126s	whether you can win and not only that
13128s	but they're playing for Price ships here
13130s	you know if Templars calcium get knocked
13131s	out or Deepwater Hooligans get knocked
13133s	out that's a couple of hundred billion
13135s	is that they're now missing in their
13136s	coffers and that's also gone to their
13138s	enemies you know if you don't think that
13140s	people both to the this uh War are now
13143s	going to be spamming each other in local
13144s	depending on who wins I think you're
13146s	you're wrong
13147s	do you know what I actually agree with
13148s	you I think that is in fact true uh
13150s	mystical mate let's talk predictions
13151s	though um who do you think is going to
13153s	build this one out is it going to be
13154s	temples or do you think Deepwater are
13155s	going to be able to pull one over here
13157s	uh see remember it's always templates
13159s	number one so I'm gonna go Templar sir
13161s	and jintan what are your thoughts
13164s	um I think temples templar's Calif is
13166s	probably going to win this uh but they
13168s	just have too much pedigree I think for
13170s	uh Deepwater to take over yeah I'm just
13173s	gonna check who these guys got knocked
13174s	down to the lower brackets by so
13176s	templates uh lost to Odin's call earlier
13179s	on and again Odin's call we've discussed
13181s	a few times essentially the only matches
13183s	they've dropped in a live stream in the
13185s	last couple of years have been up
13186s	against reloaded a championship team uh
13188s	so very respectful uh to be dropped down
13190s	by them and uh Deepwater Hooligans uh
13193s	got dropped down by
13195s	boundary experts so another pretty solid
13198s	team
13199s	um and I find this one really hard to
13201s	decide but I think I had to put my money
13202s	on the uh The Tempest Cals of boys is 10
13205s	plus calcif number one so let us go to
13207s	the arena and find out who wins
13215s	welcome back to the arena I am moderator
13217s	joined by
13219s	Alexander Hooligans is going to be
13222s	Fielding triple armor
13224s	Battleship and they're going to be
13227s	supported by a pair of logistics
13229s	frigates but they're going to be up
13231s	against a very scary temples comp
13234s	yeah temples cows have bring a balgar
13237s	and Fleet Tempest the bad and kind of a
13239s	repeat of their previous setup
13241s	um they've got omega's Pond effects your
13242s	links Thalia Deacon for logic arbitrator
13245s	hyena Sentinel for control
13250s	yeah unfortunately it looks like
13254s	um in the Stream the teams are reversed
13256s	on colors because that is in fact uh in
13260s	the red the bar guest belongs to
13262s	Deepwater Hooligans and uh Dano I so uh
13267s	we'll be having to call that reversed
13270s	um so the bar guest and we see that be a
13273s	flagship that uh basically about half of
13277s	the teams maybe a little bit over chose
13278s	as their Flagship why has it been so
13280s	popular in this and other ATS Alexander
13284s	well there are a lot of faction battle
13286s	fish battleships that scale well with
13288s	isk and when we say scale well with this
13290s	we mean that the unique abilities they
13292s	have are greatly enhanced the more money
13294s	you put into it and that makes a good
13296s	Flagship because the advantage of having
13298s	a flagship is that you can stuff it to
13299s	the gills with faction and in this case
13302s	the barcast benefits from the faction
13305s	damage mods so it can put its lows into
13308s	an armor tank and still have good damage
13311s	it benefits from the range of its scrams
13313s	it also has a lot of utility highs that
13315s	you can invest a lot of money in to make
13316s	it hit harder farther and tankier
13319s	yeah I mean it is in fact like the Daft
13322s	Punk song harder better faster stronger
13324s	because you know uh the bar guest is
13327s	already very fast I mean you can get
13330s	office or scrams because you're on that
13332s	uh Flagship uh restriction and we'll see
13336s	how that plays into things as disciple
13338s	of Thomas wild duck is
13340s	um just sort of slow boating uh now in
13343s	defensive mode as he's being primaried
13345s	down into about half armor as this
13348s	abandoned Tempest Fleet in battleborn
13350s	are projecting onto him and he pops
13352s	already interesting yes a little asleep
13355s	at the wheel there he did not get off
13357s	the Jump and managed to get pinned down
13359s	by Temple's cow stuff like taking an
13361s	early First Blood here it's also going
13363s	to be interesting to see how the Newt
13364s	battle plays out between this Navy
13366s	Armageddon and the balgor and the Navy
13368s	getting getting a bit more range but
13370s	sacrificing some of its new power for
13372s	extra damage while as the balgorn has
13375s	much more powerful newts and also some
13377s	long-range webs to help hold things down
13379s	speaking of they managed to get a brief
13381s	web on the prophecy of akov but that has
13384s	now shredded off and he has escaped
13386s	tackle he is taking some damage but it's
13389s	not catastrophic yet meanwhile deep
13391s	water is primering the hyena from
13393s	Temple's Castle
13395s	yeah um our production team has now
13397s	corrected the uh
13399s	sides that both teams are on uh the
13402s	prophecy has now kind of balled up with
13404s	his uh Bros uh Stalin says hyena
13407s	continues to be
13408s	um the primary that's going to be a
13410s	cloud of light drones however there is a
13413s	smart bomb from Ariana kamarsky's
13415s	Tempest Fleet issue that has cleared off
13417s	all the damage on top of that hyena so a
13420s	hyena bro will be safe right now
13422s	um so far we're not really seeing deep
13424s	water do much of anything for the moment
13426s	trying to figure out uh what they want
13430s	to do against this balgorn that's up in
13433s	front as the barges is getting
13435s	uncomfortably close to that balgorn at
13437s	the moment
13439s	interesting by Temple's calcif to bring
13441s	the Tempest lead issue back and have it
13443s	focus on Smart bombing they're chasing
13446s	to sacrifice a lot of their projected
13447s	damage to do that playing the long game
13449s	on this match looking to get an
13451s	advantage in the later minutes here
13452s	speaking of advantages uh that's a cloud
13455s	of drones that are on top of the
13456s	Sentinel very well played by Temple of
13459s	calcif realizing that the Sentinel was a
13462s	little bit out of position still within
13464s	a rep range of his own Nero's buddy but
13466s	that's going to be a lot of drones on
13468s	top of him forcing a little bit of
13469s	stress from tomok's zero
13473s	and they have now decided to Target
13475s	paint the flagship bar guests they've
13477s	taken it past Shields but it is an armor
13478s	battle so he's doing just fine they're
13480s	throwing more of more of their focus on
13482s	the low end now as the Sentinel
13483s	continues to be pressure and the vexer
13486s	of Sid the Kid has been webbed not sure
13488s	if that is a hyena web or a Battleground
13490s	web but he is snagged
13492s	yeah that will be the balgorn of Killa
13494s	542 up in front
13496s	um putting webs onto that Vector The
13499s	Sentinel now coming back a little bit
13500s	safer but again FID the kid uh vexer is
13503s	not known for their uh tank we see it
13506s	being used often as kind of a
13508s	inexpensive uh drone bow and something
13511s	that can bring a lot of Utilities in the
13513s	high slot for new pressure as well
13516s	um acid continues to drop but
13518s	um
13519s	not sure he'll hold on too much longer
13522s	as the Sabaton and balgorn are closing
13524s	range on him
13526s	well they're closing range quite fast
13528s	Battleground is a very scary ship it
13530s	controls a huge sphere of the
13532s	battlefield you really have to play
13533s	around it and they're doing what they
13536s	can to try to stay out of range of its
13537s	newts that said their team isn't very
13540s	capacitor dependent so as long as the
13542s	ownero stays safe they're going to be
13544s	doing just fine now they have lots of
13546s	vexer the Sentinel is also struggling
13548s	here he's not pulling back his armor as
13550s	effectively as he was just previous that
13553s	said he just gets a big injection of
13555s	armor from the nearest and goes back to
13556s	full Sentinel uh trying to ride the line
13559s	there he doesn't have a great tank
13561s	speaking of not great tanks the vigil
13563s	Fleet issue of Pixie Thief is down yeah
13566s	so between the bar guest and the um
13568s	digital flea they were trying to go for
13570s	a snap call onto the Thalia the vigil
13572s	Fleet of Pixie Thief got deep into the
13574s	back line trying to get webs on the
13575s	Thalia but now that she is dead that
13578s	will no longer be an option that was
13579s	probably the only win condition uh for
13583s	Deepwater Hooligans and now their bar
13585s	guest is uh kind of in the back line
13588s	being scrammed down by that pontifex and
13591s	the prophecy getting low The Sentinel
13593s	getting even lower uh tempo's starting
13596s	to run away with it
13598s	yeah they're building up momentum here
13600s	this Sentinel is once again taking a lot
13602s	of fire they've split fire now between
13603s	the Sentinel and the prophecy probably
13605s	trying to optimize their damage here and
13608s	it's a great decision because it forces
13610s	the iners to make some calls and the
13612s	Sentinel it just has a very thin buffer
13615s	they can pivot to it if it's low and
13617s	potentially get through its structure
13619s	before the veneers can react prophecy is
13621s	going to be more of a long-term grind
13623s	for them but not as able to mitigate
13625s	with speed and they are slowly working
13627s	their way through him so nearest is
13629s	gonna have to make some hard decisions
13630s	very soon
13631s	yeah I mean I I like what deep water
13634s	tried to do realizing that they were on
13636s	the back foot they needed to do
13637s	something to get a snap kill onto some
13640s	of the frig lodgy in order to come back
13641s	into this match but uh as they lose the
13644s	prophecy and now you know more of the
13647s	length that they would have more of the
13648s	damage they would have from the drones I
13651s	don't really see a good way back into
13652s	this match they really need to break the
13654s	Foley a deacon uh combination to really
13657s	continue to push anything else but
13660s	um failing that they're just gonna
13661s	slowly get whittled down as the
13663s	Armageddon of crimson Serenity uh is
13665s	getting down into about half to one
13669s	third armor and the power effects on
13671s	temples calcif has tackled that Flagship
13673s	bark so that kill is there for them
13675s	whenever they want to do it they can
13677s	crowd out the sceneros and make sure
13679s	that the bar guest actually make sure
13681s	that the bow guard is positioned between
13682s	it and the bar cast that will force the
13685s	nearest to either let their Flagship die
13687s	or get killed himself and now the anerus
13690s	has been neuted and webbed they have
13692s	tackled tamoxa he is it will probably be
13696s	primaried after the get and they may
13697s	just decide to hold him off with the
13700s	newts and get through the getting of
13702s	crimson as that tank is getting tested
13704s	very hard right now and it is failing
13706s	we're getting D's at best for the tank
13708s	of crimson Serenity he is dropping
13711s	rather fast for a faction Battleship now
13713s	bleeding into structure he's trying to
13715s	pull it back the owner is trying to cap
13716s	loose through the newts but it will not
13718s	be enough as the Magus and Armageddon
13721s	Navy issue go down nearly simultaneously
13723s	here Magus Bites the Dust first but
13726s	Serenity will follow
13727s	now if you're a Dano I um what you were
13730s	trying to do earlier is you know you
13732s	were trying for a snap call but in doing
13735s	so they really went all in they said hey
13737s	we probably know we're going to lose our
13739s	bar guest if this doesn't work but we're
13741s	going to try to go for the win which I
13743s	think was the right call needed to do
13745s	that earlier unfortunately that play
13747s	didn't work out and with three minutes
13749s	left and I scrammed Bargas courtesy of
13752s	this pontifex of stoesh being completely
13754s	on the ball and on top of Dano templates
13757s	will kill The Spar guest with only two
13759s	minutes and 40 seconds remaining in the
13761s	match plenty of time as Danos already
13763s	bleeding armor rapidly
13768s	oh that barcast will be interesting to
13771s	see how much isk Deepwater Hooligans is
13773s	about to lose here the previous
13775s	flagships that have been killed so far
13777s	today have been
13778s	breathtakingly expensive we will see
13781s	what the kill mail looks like I'm sure
13782s	the desk will have the full breakdown
13784s	but that is going to be painful no
13785s	matter how well you cut it for deep
13787s	water Hooligans they are a rather Rich
13789s	Alliance but they're that much poor
13791s	today as the flagship Park goes down and
13794s	now this storm bringer is looking a
13795s	little lonely
13797s	I mean they are going to be a little bit
13800s	poor for that Flagship but at the end of
13802s	the day
13803s	um they did still make top 12 in the
13805s	alliance tournament which is you know
13807s	very respectable they're going to get a
13809s	fair number of uh ships and that are
13812s	going to be probably in this we've got a
13815s	boundary attempt
13816s	yeah jump activated will he break the
13819s	record he's got a lot of speed
13821s	yeah that's gonna be reglio Smith
13822s	unfortunately he's just a cruiser so he
13825s	will boundary but he is nowhere close to
13827s	the record of I believe 227. he gets to
13830s	191 as he jumps out of the arena and
13834s	Deepwater Hooligans is out of the
13836s	tournament as temples wins it cleanly
13838s	100 to nil
13857s	[Music]
13861s	thank you
13864s	I remember
13872s	apart
13882s	[Music]
13906s	foreign
13908s	[Music]
13922s	a leak as they sink out of the alliance
13925s	tournament 18 Templar Scouts of with the
13927s	big fat dub they're gonna be very happy
13929s	with that one and of course that means
13931s	that they and they win the war so
13932s	congrats to them
13934s	um jintan you were talking during that
13936s	match about the Newt War talk to me a
13937s	little bit about that yeah so the new
13939s	war is something that we kind of tend to
13941s	talk a lot about when we see two ships
13943s	that have uh bonuses to Newts or even
13946s	ships that just have a lot of utility
13947s	High slots like little Shacks or Tempest
13949s	Fleet issues which have been very
13950s	popular throughout this tournament
13951s	matter and what we're talking about
13953s	there is the fact that both of these
13955s	ships can spend capacitor to remove
13956s	capacitor on their opponents whilst
13958s	pressuring the amount of charges that
13960s	they have in their cargo bay however
13962s	there is basically a cheat code
13964s	um to winning the new wall which is
13965s	bring a bowel gone because the
13966s	Battleground can utilize its bonuses
13969s	um which allow it to use noses even when
13972s	its opponents are out of cap
13974s	um or have a lower capacitor than itself
13976s	to continue generating cap whilst
13979s	removing cap from all of their opponents
13981s	so so if a balcony is able to get the
13984s	advantage any point in a new war it can
13986s	practically shut down your ability to
13988s	you to have space mana and cast space
13990s	spells with your space modules
13992s	and mystical about you've uh you know uh
13994s	stranger to flying in a balcony in the
13996s	Lions tournament
13998s	um you've flown with a number of teams
13999s	over the years including with myself in
14001s	the vaulted team where you flew our
14003s	Flagship balgorn this year we don't have
14005s	any Flagship Battlegrounds because they
14006s	are banned one of the few ships that are
14008s	banned from being flagships mystical why
14010s	is that ship banned from Big flag I
14012s	think it's because teams found it
14014s	historically pretty oppressive I think
14016s	is is the general idea
14018s	um it gets a bonus to its web range and
14022s	the neutralization amount of its
14024s	neutralizers so what you'd effectively
14025s	have is a full new balcon
14027s	so you can already imagine there's about
14029s	seven buttons in the highs and then
14031s	you'd have two webs a mic warp drive a
14034s	cat booster
14035s	um so that's already another like four
14036s	or five buttons here and then you'd have
14038s	full active tank in the lows so it is it
14041s	is about 20 different buttons that you
14042s	kind of have to imagine press manage
14044s	your heat on apply them properly to
14046s	chips around it's a lot to do it's
14048s	really intense to fly but it's even more
14051s	intense to play against because of just
14053s	the sheer area denial that it provides
14055s	you because a flagship is able to fit
14059s	um better newts and better newts
14062s	typically go a little bit further and
14063s	nuke more so um yeah it's just really
14065s	difficult to play against not fun for
14067s	many teams indeed not fun whatsoever
14069s	what else is not fun is being in an
14071s	elimination bracket match and being
14073s	kicked out of the tournament and that
14075s	might happen
14076s	um well it will happen to one of the two
14077s	teams coming right up which is going to
14079s	be platinum sensitivity versus arrival
14080s	so let's just take a quick look at the
14082s	bands for this match
14084s	so Platinum sensitivity Banning out uh
14086s	what has now become a relatively
14088s	standard set of bands here jackdaw EOS
14090s	analoki will arrival Banning out the
14093s	orthos the caracal Navy issue and the
14094s	bar guest jintan what are your thoughts
14097s	I'm a little curious about these rival
14099s	bands these seem like three bands kind
14101s	of focused in the same general vicinity
14104s	of one another uh the authoris and the
14106s	caracal Navy those are both headed
14108s	towards that ham Rush we've seen quite a
14110s	lot of as well as potentially working in
14111s	the kite and then the bar guest is a
14113s	little more kite focused but we've seen
14115s	it in in both stars of those comps so it
14117s	just seems like a rival don't want to
14118s	face a missile comp maybe they're
14120s	waiting their mids really heavily
14121s	towards tracking disruptors and they
14122s	just want to avoid the possibility of an
14124s	all missile comp
14125s	mystical night your thoughts here yeah I
14128s	agree I mean I think the character Navy
14129s	issue and the authoris
14131s	um they've reappeared time and time
14132s	again in some of the kardari rush comps
14134s	that we've been seeing
14136s	um the bar guest I think is also a
14137s	decent band because the Platinum
14140s	sensitivity team had had a flag
14143s	Vindicator so they won't be able to
14145s	bring bar guests in any fashion now that
14147s	it's been banned against them so that
14149s	really limits their choices if they did
14150s	want to go for a kiting setup of some
14152s	sort they still do have the plethora of
14155s	you know kiting battle Cruisers that
14157s	they could still run in an armor comp
14159s	which I think is probably what they're
14160s	leading towards anyway just because they
14162s	seem to be armor enjoyers not so much
14164s	the shield enjoyers that we've seen from
14165s	other teams
14166s	awesome now uh jintan when you are in a
14170s	team maybe you're the captain and um
14172s	first of all you've read all the rules
14173s	you've understood the meta and you're
14174s	ready to go what exactly uh do you do
14177s	when you're getting your team ready to
14178s	perform to the arena
14180s	um what you're generally doing when
14181s	you're waiting to warp into the arena to
14183s	just keeping everyone calm you're making
14184s	sure everyone knows their General role
14186s	you're making sure everyone's checked to
14188s	make sure their models are active you
14190s	know 10 15 times before you finally do
14192s	walk to the arena is sometimes that can
14195s	bug out a little bit and people have
14196s	subsystems go offline and all sorts of
14199s	wonderful occurrences like that and then
14202s	once you land on grid though that's when
14203s	things get really intense you've only
14205s	got one maybe two minutes whilst the
14207s	commentators are going over the
14208s	compositions to figure out what everyone
14211s	needs to do in this specific matchup and
14213s	that is what really
14215s	controls the actual game like if you
14218s	cannot assign your evil properly and
14220s	we're seeing that especially now when
14221s	you've got something like two black
14223s	birds you've got a carries a sentinel
14225s	you're talking about maybe 20 25 modules
14229s	that you then have to assign and spread
14231s	correctly around your enemy's comp to
14233s	stop their game plan from taking effect
14235s	and that can take up so much mental
14237s	energy
14238s	and Mr Jim's taking us through some of
14240s	the stuff that's just happening before
14241s	the match once it starts uh how
14243s	important is things like Target calling
14245s	Target priority that kind of stuff I
14247s	mean generally your target calling and
14249s	Target priority is going to be part of
14251s	that pre-match plan where you land on
14252s	grid and then you have to figure out
14254s	okay what are we going up against what
14255s	are we doing and then it's really about
14257s	just adapting to things that happen
14259s	during the match so if you go up against
14261s	the kiting team and then suddenly they
14262s	have a bunch of tracking disrupters that
14264s	you weren't expecting you then need to
14265s	take that into account and adjust your
14267s	game plan accordingly so there's a lot
14269s	that goes on and it really is going to
14271s	benefit teams that communicate well if
14273s	it's you know if you if you have 10
14275s	people on your team that can all
14277s	communicate really clearly and explain
14278s	what's happening what they're doing ask
14280s	questions on whether they should do
14281s	something without being told to do so
14283s	you know instead of putting all the
14285s	burden on one person you share that
14286s	around the team and that really helps
14288s	some of these top tier teams progress
14290s	warranty these tournaments yeah a lot of
14292s	times people ask like how do I get
14294s	involved with these kind of tournaments
14295s	and in general the alliance tournament
14297s	is great because you've got the feeder
14299s	rounds this year we had the mandatory
14300s	public trials and that happens on
14302s	Thunderdome which is a completely
14303s	separate server from tranquility and uh
14306s	you don't lose anything so if you don't
14307s	make it through the feeders you get your
14309s	Plex back that you've submitted
14311s	um and you know you don't lose the ships
14312s	on TQ it cost you anything uh those
14315s	ships when you fly them on Thunderdome
14317s	you have maximum skill points so you
14319s	don't have to worry about being oh I've
14320s	only got you know five million skill
14321s	points I've only got 20 million skill
14322s	points whatever everyone is equal it's a
14325s	really good way of getting into uh
14326s	tournaments and giving it a go and who
14328s	knows maybe you come through maybe you
14330s	win some cool prizes uh so thank you
14333s	very much to the the guys in the
14334s	community team like cease to be zealous
14335s	who's been an absolute hero getting that
14337s	all set up running all the uh the the
14339s	trials and just managing on the teams
14341s	like without him doing things like that
14343s	and of course people like CCP Aurora who
14345s	can carry that torch before him
14347s	um then we wouldn't be where we are
14348s	right now with you know this this
14349s	incredible incredible tournament
14351s	um Mr you'll let you had some thoughts
14353s	yeah I just wanted to add I mean you're
14355s	talking about the the Thunderdome
14356s	portion where everyone's equal on score
14357s	points but you know you could have five
14360s	million skill points all dedicated
14361s	towards flying a frigate and we've seen
14363s	how important some of this frigate
14365s	tackle is in these matches you don't
14367s	have to be the person flying the bar
14369s	guest or the bowel gone you can be the
14371s	support Wing that's helping your team
14372s	actually secure the objectives by
14374s	tackling down the targets that they need
14375s	to get onto and really that is as
14377s	important as anything else so yeah
14379s	there's no reason not to get involved
14380s	you just have to find an alliance to
14382s	take part with yeah I mean some of my
14384s	earlier tournament memories was flying a
14386s	new tackle vexer in my job will just go
14389s	sit on someone and be incredibly
14390s	annoying and then wait not appear in any
14392s	kill males and just wait to be killed
14394s	myself now let's go some quick
14396s	predictions here for this upcoming match
14397s	it's going to be platinum sensitivity
14398s	versus arrival mystical mate who are you
14400s	thinking Platinum sensitivity and jintan
14403s	I think the Rival might have this
14405s	they've been looking really strong
14406s	they're not a team we had super high
14408s	expectations for but they have
14410s	demonstrated a really good level of
14411s	execution so far in this tournament well
14414s	they have indeed and I have super high
14415s	expectations for arrival so I'm going to
14417s	go for them let's go to the arena and
14419s	find out who will win
14426s	like Safeguard and moderator here for
14428s	platinum sensitivity versus a rival
14430s	Platinum sensitivity bringing a widow
14432s	Vindicator a bad end with the
14435s	stormbringer for anti-drone support
14436s	Mega's Pawn effects for lengths Thalia
14438s	Deacon for Reps crucifier skybreaker for
14441s	more control and anti-drone damage
14445s	yeah meanwhile a Rivals want to he's
14448s	going to want to get on top of things at
14449s	zero we see that those Osprey navies the
14452s	slept near and the klamer are all fit
14454s	with auto cannons and heavy assault
14457s	missiles respectively so it's going to
14459s	be an all-out brawl as uh the Widow is
14462s	going to try to do it's very level best
14465s	to jam things out and try to mitigate
14467s	incoming damage Mark bridge is having
14469s	lost his Flagship Vindicator in the
14472s	previous round has not been deterred and
14474s	will bring the tech 2 variant of that
14476s	supported by an abandon and forget
14480s	support
14482s	still a fabulously scary ship even if
14484s	it's fit like a poor still very good and
14488s	against a team that intends to brawl a
14491s	very scary proposition that said a rival
14493s	has a fantastic amount of damage on
14495s	their team it's entirely possible they
14497s	could headshot this Widow and Vindicator
14499s	before taking too many losses themselves
14501s	that is definitely their win condition
14503s	for this match
14505s	yeah I can't help but wonder what jams
14508s	are going to be on that Widow if it's
14511s	um Amar and galente uh then Kentucky was
14514s	going to be a very very sad individual
14517s	however if they rolled correctly and
14519s	have caldarya ninatar then that's going
14522s	to change the dynamic of this match very
14524s	heavily in Platinum sensitivity's favor
14526s	we see that Platinum sensitivity has a
14528s	control bar that is nearly off of the
14530s	screen
14532s	and here we go we see both teams
14535s	starting to kite away from each other at
14536s	the start of this match I guess the uh
14538s	Platinum sensitivity team not too
14540s	confident in their damage and a rival
14542s	not too confident in theirs we're seeing
14545s	a lot of control thrown out from
14546s	Platinum sensitivity they predicted
14548s	correctly and they have a lot of missile
14549s	guidance disruption going out onto the
14551s	arrival team with one dragging disrupter
14554s	for the sleffner uh that just kind of
14556s	worked out for them
14559s	yeah um given that this is a shield
14561s	composition that a rival has brought
14563s	they probably have a lot less overall
14567s	um
14568s	Lots to have e-war against Platinum
14571s	sensitivity likewise like you were
14573s	saying I can't help but feel like the
14575s	crucifier might have
14576s	um rolled in correctly with
14579s	um what's going to be in their slots and
14582s	maybe they just have a series of
14585s	tracking disruptures they can put on the
14587s	sleptner and maybe not a lot of guidance
14589s	um at the moment we see that
14591s	the sign of arrival has chosen to ball
14594s	up on one of the micro jump drive units
14597s	and platinum sensitivity is happy to
14600s	just sit in the very center of the Arena
14602s	as both teams decide to figure out what
14605s	exactly it is they want to do as both
14609s	teams are just kind of staring at each
14611s	other right now
14612s	and platinum sensitivity the clustered
14614s	around the micro jump unit they seem to
14616s	have begun to have picked a direction
14618s	they're Loosely all pointing toward the
14621s	Platinum sensitivity team is now both
14624s	teams seem to be rushing toward each
14625s	other they're neglecting not to micro
14627s	jump it seems
14629s	oh wait nope corrected they've all
14631s	activated simultaneously
14634s	yeah that's gonna be fooled from all of
14637s	the arrival team they're going to try to
14638s	catch um something for platinum
14640s	sensitivity out of position and they are
14641s	now Landing in the back line let's see
14643s	what they go for they are on top of the
14645s	Vindicator the Widow and the pond
14646s	effects I could feel Widow call here
14649s	rather shortly that would make a lot of
14650s	sense to me and it will be the call
14652s	they're going to go for Kentucky in the
14654s	Widow very well played by a rival
14656s	perfect timing and execution
14658s	and we talked about wind conditions
14660s	earlier that's arrivals they've got to
14661s	go for this Widow blow it out of the
14663s	water and then Focus their damage on The
14665s	Vindicator if they can take down both of
14667s	those battleships they have a pretty
14669s	good chance of winning this match
14670s	moderator what does platinum sensitivity
14672s	hoping for
14673s	Platinum sensitivity is hoping that they
14675s	can string out some of these heavy
14676s	assault missile boats it turns out they
14678s	do actually have a lot of guidance comps
14680s	they do actually have a lot of jams and
14682s	they're putting their jams onto that
14684s	Scimitar using it to try to put damage
14687s	into the Osprey Navy issue they might
14689s	lose their Widow for it but they're
14691s	saying if we're going to lose our Widow
14692s	you're going to bleed an osprey Navy
14694s	issue or more before we lose anything
14697s	major but that Widow is holding just
14698s	fine whereas larynx is not at all
14701s	yeah it seems I'm seeing some split fire
14704s	here from the arrival team they have
14705s	spread their damage out to some of the
14707s	logistics frigates from Platinum
14709s	sensitivity and the Widow which is not a
14712s	fantastic call as they're losing their
14714s	Osprey that's the first of their damage
14715s	Cruisers down they only have so many of
14718s	those and they need to use their uptime
14719s	very wisely and focus on head shotting
14722s	here they're not doing that they're
14723s	spreading damage on the Magus they're
14725s	spreading damage in lethalia they spread
14726s	damage to the Deacon they're wasting a
14728s	lot of their time they totally wasted
14730s	the uh whatever surprise Advantage may
14733s	have come from that micro jump play as
14735s	both of these teams have tackled each
14736s	other down and they're just somewhat of
14738s	a static Brawley mess in the middle of
14741s	the Arena now yeah
14746s	unfortunately for arrival they don't
14748s	have a choice because uh Platinum
14750s	sensitivity has done a very good job at
14752s	stringing apart those ships that jumped
14754s	they didn't all land together and when
14756s	they went from Kentucky they split up a
14758s	little bit
14759s	um on the way in and we can see that all
14763s	of the ships from arrival are really
14764s	guidance disrupted they're being webbed
14766s	down scrammed this is actually perfect
14768s	execution from Platinum sensitivity
14772s	um having their Sky breaker having their
14774s	pontifex Magus stormbringer hold things
14776s	down and spread them apart yeah a rival
14779s	has a ton of damage but they can't apply
14781s	that to any one Target because they're
14783s	all split apart from each other and the
14785s	guidance disruptors are wreaking havoc
14787s	as the two Navy Ospreys drop
14790s	yeah Platinum sensitivity not having any
14792s	trouble at all applying their damage is
14793s	another Navy Osprey goes down it looks
14796s	like they're going to go after the
14797s	stipple now of black tooth Tony about to
14799s	get those teeth punched out as he has
14801s	webbed down he's getting some reps but
14803s	it will not be enough and the Widow is
14805s	highly likely to land gems on the
14807s	Scimitar as it can focus all of its
14809s	jamming power on that one ship now a
14812s	rival is trying to return fire it looks
14814s	like on the sky breaker now uh they're
14817s	having a little bit of trouble getting
14818s	themselves into the same page here the
14820s	sky breaker not really a high priority
14822s	Target for them the Widow is taking sun
14825s	damage but not dying nearly as fast as
14827s	they need to they are rapidly running
14829s	out of time to win this match
14832s	yeah and I'm gonna be uh definitely uh
14835s	in Platinum sensitivities uh Camp here
14838s	um just the way that a rival is spread
14840s	out uh none of their targets are none of
14843s	their target calling is able to actually
14845s	apply damage uh they have on top of
14848s	Kentucky they have a total of a caracal
14851s	and a fly catcher maybe a claymore that
14854s	can do anything uh meanwhile another
14856s	disciple dies and Mark Bridges uh team
14860s	is doing work here the Widow can tarp it
14863s	definitely has called RH jams
14865s	um we've seen those continue to stay on
14867s	top of the Navy Drake in the caracal so
14869s	definitely packing something called Ari
14871s	uh just really mitigating the amount of
14873s	incoming damage yes he is in half armor
14875s	but another caracal drops and even if he
14878s	dies it's very worth it for the 24
14880s	points of platinum sensitivity is killed
14883s	so far
14884s	and you can see with the Widow here the
14886s	amount of damage that it's taken once
14888s	they've all gotten onto the same page
14889s	you've got to imagine a replay of this
14892s	match where they do that right at the
14893s	start and use that all in micro jump
14896s	play to just headshot the Widow it would
14898s	be at a much more successful position
14900s	than they're at now as their schleffner
14902s	struggling to cling to life with his
14904s	ancillary Shield booster clawing those
14906s	Shield hit points back
14907s	but it's gonna be a losing battle that
14910s	has a very finite time to give him that
14912s	additional tank boost and once it runs
14914s	out they're gonna grind him down into
14916s	dust
14918s	yeah and I mean this is something that
14920s	we're seeing out of platinum sensitivity
14921s	that you have to demonstrate if you
14924s	really want to make it into the top a
14925s	and then top six and then top four you
14928s	know grinding your way through the lower
14929s	bracket you have to very effectively
14931s	apply your scrams apply your e-war
14934s	um just like jinton and Mr Cole might
14936s	were talking about on the desk uh
14938s	Platinum sensitivity has a ton of e-war
14941s	has a ton of tackle and they have to
14942s	very effectively and quickly assign
14944s	who's going to do what when they're
14946s	going to do it and how they're going to
14947s	execute and platinum sensitivity is
14949s	executing right now with the very best
14951s	of them uh hats off to them
14953s	yeah very clean well-run match from
14956s	Platinum sensitivity they knew what
14958s	their comp did they showed a lot of
14959s	restraint and not just charging forward
14961s	after arrival they saw the micro jump
14963s	play coming as the sleffner goes down
14965s	and they were fully prepared for it they
14968s	kept their composure and just not a very
14971s	acclaimed performance from a rival here
14973s	they are getting slowly picked apart
14975s	their fly catcher goes down their
14978s	Scimitar is well controlled at this
14980s	point he's putting out some occasional
14981s	reps but the sustained repping power he
14984s	can bring to the table is not enough to
14986s	keep up with a full Platinum sensitivity
14988s	team that is totally unfazed by what a
14991s	rival brought to the field here
14993s	yeah we don't even see any remote repair
14995s	effects so that's likely going to be uh
14997s	you know those 20 second Jam Cycles up
14999s	wreaking havoc on the Scimitar not being
15002s	able to rep up our time Hardy's Drake
15004s	Navy issue as the Drake Navy issue goes
15007s	down into armor and will drop shortly
15010s	um one of the difficulties with these
15011s	micro jump drive plays is that when
15014s	you're as far away as a rival is is you
15017s	can jump and you'll be right on top of
15018s	people but you still have to acquire a
15021s	look and that can take time and what
15024s	Platinum sensitivity did in that time is
15026s	Just Adjust all of their tackling nearly
15029s	perfectly so that as soon as
15033s	um the arrival team landed they had
15035s	their tackle Wing assigned to each of
15038s	the mean core ships and were able to
15039s	pull the Widow apart far enough that
15043s	only maybe one or two could actually
15044s	apply meaningful damage uh really I
15047s	can't overstate how brilliantly executed
15049s	that was uh as Bacardi desire is
15052s	dropping down into Shield looking like a
15055s	clean sweep as there's a minute left on
15057s	the clock
15058s	yeah this claimer is definitely gonna
15060s	die the Scimitar has pulled some range
15063s	there's not exactly a lot of tackle on
15066s	the Platinum sensitivity team but they
15067s	do have the sky breaker trying to chase
15069s	him down a little bit and the sky
15071s	breaker I don't know if he's giving up
15073s	and trying to come back it looks like he
15075s	is they might just leave the Scimitar B
15077s	for now
15078s	oh no it's because he's boundary
15080s	violated there he goes yeah he he
15082s	decides to uh you know just uh end it
15085s	that way
15086s	um it looks like the hyena of zags is
15088s	attempting to do the same let's see if
15091s	he can try to go for the world record uh
15094s	mjd Play Here hyen is known for being
15096s	very very fast
15098s	um so he might actually be able to do it
15101s	uh both teams good fighting and local as
15104s	uh Platinum sensitivity moves on from uh
15108s	their lower bracket and gets themselves
15110s	into top eight
15112s	now it's not just about the speed it's
15114s	also about the angle of the hyena is
15116s	coming he's not coming from toward the
15118s	center of the Arena if he doesn't change
15120s	his angle I think he's gonna have a hard
15122s	time hitting it but that said he's in
15124s	position
15127s	unfortunately he's out of time that said
15131s	let's look at him he is a 120 dick as
15135s	micro jumped off spools
15138s	he is 241 wow 246 251 256.
15143s	this might be a record I'm not sure if
15144s	he's not exploding because we're after
15146s	time but uh I think that might be a new
15149s	record
15150s	it might be the boundary record but the
15152s	time is over he's gotten some extra
15153s	micro warp drive ticks in there I don't
15155s	know if that's going to count for the
15156s	Guinness World Records but we'll turn it
15158s	back to the desk to break this down
15176s	[Music]
15179s	[Applause]
15183s	guys stop being casual they're really
15186s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
15188s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
15190s	everybody warp off this is a really
15192s	really bad execution I'm very
15193s	disappointed
15198s	another great haul back from Amar damn
15201s	I'm thirsty
15206s	that hits the spot
15211s	[Applause]
15220s	uh yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
15222s	collectively uh so that's why that
15224s	Alliance logo is in the game of course
15227s	you could change your alliance by
15228s	leaving but that would be kind of a jerk
15230s	move that kind of oh you don't like it
15231s	now sucks I'm gonna go join
15249s	arrival have now departed from the
15251s	alliance tournament in a exciting match
15253s	uh we saw a pretty cool mjd play from
15256s	the whole team they all lined up on that
15257s	mjd Beacon they all align down towards
15260s	their target after moving around joking
15262s	for possession being careful then they
15264s	jumped in right on top of that Widow but
15266s	ccbb you're drumming the desk what
15269s	happened why didn't it work as we as we
15270s	thought it was going to I think they
15271s	landed a little too scattered and as
15274s	they mentioned they had to lock the
15275s	target up when you land maybe not in
15277s	lock range as you're pumping that mjd
15279s	from from the beacon and then when you
15281s	land you're kind of out of position you
15282s	can't properly apply all that damage it
15284s	would have been super interesting to see
15285s	if they just sat on that Beacon for a
15288s	while and didn't do anything what if
15290s	they just waited until you know three
15291s	minutes left of the match and just
15293s	headshotted one of the frigates that
15294s	would have been a very like boring match
15296s	to watch but like an attack that maybe
15298s	could have worked out better yeah we're
15300s	seeing
15301s	um teams favor more sort of control
15303s	heavy setups now as we're getting deeper
15305s	into the alliance tournament uh comps
15308s	that reward execution in patients and
15311s	you know Soul solid piloting speaking of
15313s	solid piloting let's take a look at the
15315s	player profile of howling wind one of
15317s	the key members of the arrival team he
15319s	was flying in the logistics uh Cruiser
15322s	I'm told now we don't have that
15323s	available we'll have it in just a minute
15325s	we'll come back to that uh Blackberry
15326s	pirate what else could the arrival team
15328s	have done I mean it's so hard to
15330s	practice a maneuver like that but in all
15332s	honesty just kidding wind has arrived
15336s	just a few minutes late so howling went
15338s	uh flying currently obviously with
15339s	arrival previously with that he was in
15341s	The Weekend Warriors uh going back to
15343s	Alliance tournament 11 when he was in
15345s	Rainbow Dash friends as we can see he
15347s	normally flies the logistic ships for
15349s	these teams flying in the Scimitar a
15351s	bunch of times the newest the Basilisk
15352s	and the scalpel he has once been allowed
15355s	to fly in the bar gas but clearly took
15356s	that off him and put him back in the
15357s	logistics ship uh four wins nine losses
15360s	so they've struggled a little bit but I
15361s	mean you can see here just looking at
15363s	matches played every time they go
15364s	further and further and further they're
15366s	definitely a team that is improving
15367s	consistently as far as I remember even
15370s	like the alliance open anger games and
15371s	some of the other uh competitions
15373s	they've competed in this is a team with
15375s	the core of people who are just getting
15377s	better and better and better and I would
15378s	expect to see them again next year doing
15380s	very well no Bart what else could they
15382s	have done ah well they could have won I
15385s	got totally distracted there um I do do
15387s	agree I actually think Misty said
15388s	something about out them earlier that
15390s	this team is they definitely look back
15392s	and learn from their mistakes for this
15394s	specific one honestly like the only real
15397s	mistake was maybe not practicing that
15399s	maneuver and like Landing everyone
15400s	together because they did end up spread
15402s	out and I think it was less that a rival
15404s	made mistakes and more that uh Platinum
15407s	sensitivity just capitalized so well
15409s	like as soon as all those ships landed
15411s	they noticed they were spread out they
15413s	split their uh webs and scrams and
15415s	whatever to tackle everything away from
15417s	the Widow because like clearly Platinum
15419s	sensitivity saw what was happening he's
15421s	like they're going to try and kill our
15422s	Widow we need to not let that happen and
15425s	then they executed it perfectly so I
15427s	Gotta Give Them props for it it did look
15429s	really good when it had it because like
15432s	the chord looked like it landed
15433s	perfectly and then they sent me to the
15434s	side and I was like oh what a move but
15436s	then nothing came out no damage it was
15438s	just kind of like where is it you know I
15440s	think bars right though that that was
15441s	more down to platinum sensitivity just
15444s	defending it super well than arrival
15445s	doing anything wrong uh but that's it
15447s	arrival argon from the tournament so no
15449s	more about them all right our next match
15451s	is an exciting one uh Brave Collective
15453s	versus Nano fiber tokens again these are
15455s	elimination matches so these teams are
15456s	fighting to avoid going home and for of
15458s	course more prize ships uh Brave
15460s	Collective uh at least Randolph AKA CTV
15463s	Swift's new favorite team as pandemic
15464s	Legion sadly departed uh last weekend
15467s	Blackboard part uh what do you make of
15470s	this match up I think this is uh it's
15472s	been really really interesting because
15473s	Brave has just been consistently better
15476s	at the alliance tournament than really
15477s	they should be I guess as a way to put
15480s	it where we've had like so many people
15481s	go in the Fantastic captains go to
15483s	different teams sometimes team CCP uh
15486s	but again like you see in this this band
15489s	setup that they've done that they are
15491s	paying attention to what other teams are
15493s	doing and that is like one of those big
15494s	highlights of what makes a good team is
15497s	they're actually spending their time you
15499s	know going back researching
15500s	understanding and they even actually
15502s	went back and saw what nanofiber wrought
15503s	last time and are targeting it which is
15505s	really good so in this moment where we
15507s	have an hour hour and a half between
15508s	matches they're still like on top of it
15511s	and ready to go
15512s	yeah on a ccpb we're seeing here that
15515s	the 95 tokens Banning Bargas looking
15517s	balgorn and brave Collective Banning
15519s	curse hyena executive Navy issue the
15521s	executive Navy issue is not something we
15523s	see super often get banned uh do you
15525s	have any thoughts on that I mean it's
15526s	one of those ships that we reworked and
15528s	now has a ton of damage on top of a lot
15530s	of speed that he can just ignore being
15532s	played it because of that um what's it
15535s	called again that bonus that it has
15536s	where it doesn't lose plate Mass bonus
15538s	there you go so it's a it's a very
15540s	different chip than it was a month ago
15542s	uh so it's interesting to see how the
15544s	meta has developed into seeing a lot of
15547s	the ship and then also seeing it banned
15548s	I don't think a month ago people would
15550s	have bothered to ban the exact Navy from
15552s	anything I think we're going to be
15553s	seeing a really interesting match here
15555s	the match before with uh with NFTA
15557s	against Road Coppell was incredible
15560s	we have a lot of people uh who obviously
15562s	looking at Brave like you said I think
15564s	they're a lot stronger than what I guess
15566s	their reputation has
15568s	um this is going to be a super
15569s	interesting match it is exactly going to
15571s	be a super interesting match uh I know
15573s	CC Swift is uh is hoping for for a solid
15576s	Victory from the brave Collective right
15578s	now
15579s	um let's do quick predictions and see
15581s	what we actually think so Bart who's
15583s	gonna win this uh I'm going with brave
15585s	just because I've I've been watching
15586s	them and I've been loving watching them
15588s	get better and better at the 80 over the
15589s	last couple years and ccbb what do you
15592s	think I have to say nft I mean that
15594s	match with wrote before I I thought
15595s	they're out and then they just kind of
15597s	clotted back I I've got a root for them
15599s	100 yeah I mean this is a hard one I
15603s	feel like I agree with both of you
15604s	especially like NFC really did claw that
15606s	back from Rook Capell in a super
15608s	exciting match but I think I have to do
15610s	it for dunk as well uh he's he's such a
15613s	bro he always brings his briefcase of
15614s	friendship uh you know I'm a big dunk
15616s	fan so let us go to the arena and find
15619s	out as Brave Collective face off against
15620s	nanofiber tokens
15628s	hello I am moderator joined by Alex AF
15631s	card for the final match that the two of
15633s	us will be commentating and we're going
15635s	to get a good one we see double
15637s	Armageddon Navy issue uh EOS Dexter Navy
15640s	pontifex going for a bit of a mixture
15644s	between that
15646s	heavy rapid missile setup and a little
15651s	bit of drones what are brave running
15655s	Brand family double Nighthawk Claymore
15657s	sleffner it looks like they might be
15659s	going for Rush here scalpel Karen for
15661s	lodgy jacked off simple fly catcher a
15664s	lot of Destroyer damage on their low end
15667s	very interesting to see if these are
15668s	tackle control or just all-out damage
15671s	destroyers into that Moa
15674s	yeah I would not be surprised if this is
15677s	going to be very much a rush comp I can
15679s	see that these jackdaws are running uh
15682s	Rockets the heavy
15684s	um you know command ships are running
15686s	heavy assault missiles and auto cannons
15689s	as well so they're really going to want
15690s	to close range get on top of something
15692s	and just delete it I really like though
15695s	that they have a solid support core in
15698s	the Jackal flycatcher as well as a MOA
15700s	that can really uh pressure you know say
15703s	like the Thalia the Deacon the fentanyl
15705s	while your main ships would go after
15708s	either one of these heavier ships in an
15710s	EOS or get a Navy
15712s	yeah if I'm brave Collective I'm looking
15714s	very hungrily at one of those getting
15717s	navies as the primary for my ham ships
15719s	while I send the rest of my low ends to
15721s	go right after the Thalia Deacon combo
15723s	break one of them and you'll break the
15725s	other in quick fashion and then it's
15727s	just a matter of a grind
15728s	meanwhile in that if I were tokens I
15731s	don't think they have that much of an
15732s	answer for the uh Kieran scalpel other
15734s	than to try and nude them out
15737s	yeah we see that a lot of these drone
15741s	boats are very often not running any
15744s	guns they just go well full newts just
15747s	because they choose to go for drone
15749s	damage amplifiers and therefore
15753s	um you know guns might not be the most
15755s	effective option usually neutralizing
15757s	things is a bit more we see that um one
15761s	of the players has been disconnected and
15764s	so they're going to attempt to log in
15766s	before the referee start this match so
15768s	we might have a little bit more time
15769s	here
15770s	um something that cannot be understated
15772s	though is the control bar of nanofiber
15775s	tokens being maxed out whereas Brave
15777s	doesn't look like they have any real
15780s	neuting power or disruption on their end
15783s	but what they do have is triple the
15785s	attack bar which is going to be the the
15787s	key counter play here they can cut
15789s	through that control with their
15791s	overwhelming damage and they're going to
15792s	be in a good position here they do have
15794s	a bit of an uphill battle as those
15796s	get-ins are exceedingly tanky and we see
15799s	twitch chat investing in Nano coins as
15801s	we speak
15803s	yeah uh team do you support the wave and
15806s	brave or do we want some Nano coins uh
15808s	fortunately uh the disconnected player
15811s	has rejoined us so both teams will be
15813s	playing with their full 10 person roster
15816s	and we are off
15819s	we immediately see the brave team
15821s	streaking across the field as nanofiber
15824s	tokens is desperately trying to
15825s	rearrange their ball so that they have a
15827s	proper back line and make sure that
15829s	their get-ins are doing some screening
15832s	for their low end just desperately
15833s	trying to pull range here got the pawn
15835s	effects vexer Navy arbitrator uh as well
15838s	as the Thalia all trying to pull away
15842s	uh the Nighthawk is getting some
15844s	guidance disruption they're putting
15845s	newts in the Claymore tracking
15846s	disruption on the sleffner you can see
15848s	the nanofiber control bar spiking to
15850s	about half its full girth whereas the
15853s	five Collective has not yet really put
15855s	their damage down they're they're trying
15857s	to put some damage onto the Thalia of
15859s	nanofiber tokens but not nearly what
15861s	they could be doing
15864s	so the Claymore is going to be the
15865s	primary meanwhile we see that the
15867s	jackdaw of argonal has gotten on top of
15869s	the Sentinel of Asura chem so they're
15871s	going to pick off the Sentinel with the
15873s	Jackal disciple of aliphil is going to
15876s	support so I really like that call put
15878s	your low end chips kill off the Sentinel
15881s	that's going to be doing disruption onto
15883s	your main core you get a lot of utility
15885s	off of that and once you do that you
15888s	kill the Sentinel maybe you can move on
15890s	to the logic
15891s	um speaking of waji Chadwick is going to
15894s	need a lot of reps and so will cast out
15896s	if both of them are taking an
15898s	appreachable amount of damage from this
15900s	Max damage uh Brave Collective Rush
15902s	however the fly catcher goes down of cat
15905s	zero
15906s	an acceptable loss for brave flycatcher
15910s	is a great ship it's putting out a lot
15911s	of damage for them but it's not the core
15912s	of their setup they're gonna trade that
15914s	fly catcher and possibly this MOA for
15916s	the geta Navy
15918s	uh they make it the Sentinel as well
15920s	which would be a fantastic trade for
15921s	them the more of that Sentinel is on the
15923s	field the more value is adding to the
15926s	Nano team is the Moa does indeed go down
15928s	and the Sentinel will join him shortly
15930s	unless he can get a little bit more
15932s	lodgy it's tough oh Brave might lose
15934s	their Brave just lost their Keurig that
15936s	is a huge loss for brave oh you don't
15940s	want to see that they may do a logic
15942s	trade here
15944s	yeah that's the Thalia unfortunately the
15947s	Thalia is gotten a cloud of drones on
15950s	top of them it's a little bit less tanky
15952s	than the Deacon buddy uh the Deacon was
15954s	a little bit out of range trying to save
15956s	the Sentinel and uh they've readjusted
15959s	to get on top of
15960s	um the Deacon nanofiber tokens
15963s	um their Armageddon is getting rather
15965s	rather low but if they can keep up the
15968s	Thalia losing a single get a Navy issue
15970s	if they can get another jacked off they
15972s	can get another stifle it might just be
15974s	worth it I think it is well well worth
15977s	it nanofiber the stock is rising
15980s	investments in Nano coins looking very
15982s	pressure in here as they are getting a
15985s	pretty firm grip on this match now uh
15987s	their Thalia not entirely out of the
15989s	woods yet and they still have a ton of
15991s	top end damage might be able to kill
15992s	this other get in Navy but without Logic
15995s	on their field they're going to slowly
15996s	lose more and more of their low end and
15998s	that Claymore is it's just not long for
16001s	this world the spiffle goes down that's
16003s	a big chunk of Their Own and damage it's
16004s	completely cleared off at this point
16006s	they've got four battle Cruisers four
16009s	command ships for their DPS and that is
16013s	it and they are loaded for bear they're
16015s	not really going to be able to impact
16016s	this low end they're trying to kill the
16018s	vexer Navy they're going to apply
16019s	relatively well to Cruisers but they're
16022s	they're not going to change the match by
16024s	killing this Vector Navy they need to
16025s	get more points and they need to be able
16027s	to hold themselves on the field which is
16029s	going to be very hard with the damage
16031s	coming off of nanofiber right now
16034s	yeah I mean it's good well in all good
16036s	that you're killing a vexer Navy issue
16038s	but you really need to be applying that
16039s	damage right now to a get a Navy issue
16042s	or failing that in EOS they need to just
16044s	all death ball up together and really
16046s	get this Armageddon Navy out of uh this
16050s	existence because they're really trying
16053s	to just trade out damage right now Brave
16055s	and nanofiber they're equal on points
16057s	but all of the points are so heavily
16059s	concentrated into just this top end
16062s	whereas nanofiber tokens has most of
16064s	their team I say as the heretic does
16066s	finally go down
16068s	yeah the The Narrative goes down but
16070s	it's a bit of a time waste for them it's
16072s	a red herring they get the kill but
16073s	they're losing valuable time meanwhile
16075s	disclaimer is in half armor and dropping
16077s	rapidly they're putting a respectable
16079s	amount of damage into this EOS but that
16081s	damage will slow pretty noticeably once
16083s	this claimer finally dies
16086s	yeah and it'll be difficult possibly to
16089s	kill an EOS they're known for having
16090s	excellent kinetic resist and
16094s	unfortunately uh Nighthawks really only
16096s	do meaningful kinetic damage so once the
16099s	Claymore and flepner die that have
16100s	selectable damage it's going to be
16102s	really really difficult to push through
16104s	anything
16105s	um and once they lose a claymore they're
16107s	really going to have to kill a deacon
16109s	failure
16110s	um to break anything I think the EOS is
16112s	safe at this point given how kinetic
16114s	locked these Nighthawks are they've been
16117s	splitting their damage between the EOS
16118s	and the Thalia not enough to break
16120s	either one of the Thalia is not really
16122s	at risk at this point they do not have
16123s	the tackle to really allow the hams from
16126s	these Nighthawks to apply to a Target
16128s	like the Thalia so it's fairly safe it's
16131s	going to take some damage but that
16132s	damage will get wrapped they needed to
16134s	just try to bust through the high end of
16136s	nanofiber tokens not able to do it here
16139s	not able to execute as Xander Vale
16141s	getting into low Shields here doing his
16144s	best the tank but dropping very rapidly
16146s	deadly and he has disrupted painted
16149s	nuded the other Nighthawk is also
16151s	knitted down and cable to sleffner is
16153s	tackled so all three of these ships are
16156s	exactly where nft wants them as soon as
16158s	they decide they want to take those
16159s	kills they are there
16161s	yeah for the last 30 seconds to a minute
16164s	or so uh Brave has desperately been
16166s	trying to put damage into the Deacon of
16168s	Andy and we've seen Nighthawk missiles
16170s	apply but they're just not doing any
16172s	damage to the Deacon uh you know very
16175s	signature tanks if you don't have a web
16177s	on top of top of a deacon and you are
16180s	guidance disrupted your Nighthawk is not
16182s	going to do meaningful damage to these
16184s	lodgy frigs that have such tiny
16186s	signature and still have links from that
16188s	Pont effects and EOS Laden is down into
16191s	about half armor and I can't help but
16193s	feel like this is the last hurray for
16196s	brave as their active bar is now somehow
16198s	larger than their Total Defense bar
16201s	that is that is the uh it's really shell
16204s	boosters coming off the sleffner I've
16205s	got to wonder maybe he has two of them
16207s	that bar seems extremely swollen
16210s	for a defense bar uh the the purple
16213s	swelling is is overtaking the rest of
16217s	their bar uh the Nighthawk goes down
16219s	cable UDA the last man standing here
16221s	three minutes to go in this match
16224s	not looking great for him he is scrammed
16227s	he's been tracked disrupted for quite
16228s	some time and now we're seeing the
16230s	neutralizers and Target painters from
16232s	Nano being applied to him here as he
16235s	will get ground into Pace we'll see what
16237s	a fantastic tank he's packing but with
16240s	the newts on him with the inability to
16242s	return fire in any meaningful way it's a
16245s	matter of time here once his charges
16247s	drop he will drop
16249s	yeah I mean that said um I wouldn't be
16253s	too ashamed uh if I was do Jack uh like
16256s	you described we thought that this might
16258s	be kind of a mid-tier team maybe a price
16260s	ship enjoyer possibly but they're going
16262s	to go away from this event with two
16265s	excuse me four Gary's and four baskets
16268s	so um a total of eight uh Alliance
16270s	tournament prize ships that's gonna be
16272s	well worth uh over a trillion isk
16276s	um if I'm brave I don't feel too bad
16278s	about my performance in this event
16280s	no they did Fabulous especially compared
16283s	to previous Alliance tournaments and
16284s	fitting that dunk dinkle the retiring
16287s	Brave executive should be here to see
16289s	his team's Swan songs cable UDA drops
16291s	below half Shields now we can see them
16294s	all in the chat giving their Brave
16295s	salutes to these Brave Pilots as cable
16298s	drops to one-third 25 soon to be zero
16302s	percent Shield the armor will absolutely
16305s	evaporate under the withering fire from
16307s	Nano here as they are shredding him
16310s	right now and walking on their way to a
16312s	fabulous and very interesting matchup
16315s	this really could have gone either way
16316s	at the start but cable Utah will bite
16319s	the dust as we throw it back to the desk
16320s	for a breakdown
16342s	[Music]
16347s	thank you
16350s	guys stop being casual they're really
16352s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
16355s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
16357s	everybody warp off this is a really
16358s	really bad execution I'm very
16360s	disappointed
16365s	another great hall back from Omar damn
16368s	I'm thirsty
16371s	ah that hits the spot
16377s	[Applause]
16386s	Yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
16389s	collectively so that's why that Alliance
16391s	logo is in the game of course you could
16393s	change your alliance by leaving but that
16395s	would be kind of a jerk move that kind
16397s	of oh you don't like it now this Lego
16399s	sucks I'm gonna go join
16408s	thank you
16415s	nanofiber tokens they're pulling the rug
16417s	out from underneath Brave Collective and
16419s	sending them out of Alliance tournament
16421s	18. black part pirate what happened
16423s	there to Brave
16425s	well unfortunately I think that brave
16427s	brought a rush setup without a lot of
16431s	DPS and I know that that seems kind of
16433s	counter-intuitive and that's how I felt
16435s	when I looked at their Rush setup we've
16436s	been seeing these like almost eight
16439s	ships worth of DPS Rush setups where
16440s	they're these like really heavy caldari
16442s	Navy Osprey Navy authorizes with hams
16444s	Brave actually kind of went like a
16446s	throwback from like
16448s	I would almost say the alliance open
16449s	where they're running almost pure
16451s	Command Ship DPS which is really high on
16453s	paper but you still only really had four
16456s	major DPS ships they did actually have a
16458s	rocket jackdaw which I talked about I
16459s	love rocket jackdaws because they do
16461s	Insane damage but they also suck and um
16464s	it was very unfortunate to watch it do
16466s	nothing
16467s	yeah CPP why is it rocket Jack does suck
16469s	in this case I mean in this case it was
16473s	not to be rude probably how it was being
16475s	flown it kind of overshot its Target a
16477s	little bit and maybe should have just
16479s	orbited 500 and probably would have done
16481s	more we saw just zooming around and uh
16484s	yeah we saw some of those smaller shapes
16486s	the Thalia and the Sentinel just kind of
16488s	get tickled and then nope just gonna not
16490s	die here never mind yeah yeah I think
16493s	that's Sentinel surviving in I don't
16494s	know how many Hull points but he had a a
16496s	small number of them remaining
16498s	um and then was able to be wrecked back
16500s	up by his lodge Bros uh and then it's
16503s	one of those things Bart when you're in
16504s	a in a match and you're shooting someone
16506s	and they're just not dying and then you
16508s	think you're about to kill them and then
16509s	they get wrapped again then you spend
16510s	more time shooting someone in the longer
16512s	you're shooting this person who has
16514s	decided not to Die the longer you uh
16516s	can't go off shooting someone else and
16518s	keep working your way through something
16519s	memo you're being shot uh like how are
16521s	you filming some teams obviously uh NC
16523s	DOT being the the main one
16525s	um what is going through the captains of
16527s	the team's mind in those situations
16528s	where something's just not breaking yeah
16531s	uh well the worst part about it too is
16533s	that Eve has a mechanic called
16534s	overheating which you can only do a
16536s	certain amount and so sometimes if
16537s	you're sitting there and you're like
16538s	okay well we're barely barely barely
16540s	breaking the ship
16542s	are we beating it because their logius
16544s	overheating and what if we have cat
16545s	pressure on their lodgy and what if we
16547s	have new pressure on their ship we're
16549s	trying to take down what if there's jams
16550s	and what if there's this and this and
16551s	this so I understand why a lot of the
16553s	times teams will like triple down on
16555s	this but then at the same thing your
16557s	weapons are overheating as well
16559s	um it's tough uh I think that when
16561s	you're in like these really high damage
16563s	Rush setups it is kind of worth it to
16565s	say we're not breaking switch
16566s	immediately just because that snap
16568s	effect of switching over especially
16570s	against an armor comp where they do have
16572s	to actually spool the Reps back up on
16574s	you uh has a chance but yeah I mean you
16576s	never know like you hate to say it but
16578s	you don't know what's going on on their
16579s	ship and their comms hopefully I mean I
16582s	guess you could but that doesn't really
16584s	happen anymore I think it's technically
16585s	illegal uh yeah no you're you're having
16588s	to calculate their capacitor their heat
16590s	their e or your capacitor your heat your
16593s	e-war what if their pilot decides
16595s	randomly to walk away we've seen it
16597s	happen a couple times where people are
16598s	like oh he's going zero Ms three minutes
16599s	into the match as a tackle ship
16602s	so yeah it's it's crazy I mean like
16605s	there's a reason these schemes are so
16606s	good and especially as the weekend goes
16608s	on or we're starting to seem like
16610s	the really top tier teams doing really
16612s	top tier plays or not well we shall see
16617s	um speaking of top tier teams um we are
16619s	going to go soon to truth on the light
16620s	versus templates calcif now you will
16622s	know this is match 53 and nanofiber
16624s	tokens have to fight again in match 54.
16626s	so they have a short turnaround time now
16628s	they have to go away recompose
16629s	themselves make sure they've got all the
16631s	ships and stuff they need and get ready
16632s	but we'll get to them later let's look
16634s	at the balance between truth honor light
16635s	and template Council so I just want to
16638s	like banning at the stratus Ishtar
16639s	Nighthawk Templars cast of banning out
16641s	of the EOS the Bargas and the Blackbird
16643s	Blackboard pirate what do you make of
16644s	these bands here
16646s	oh all right uh truth on our light is
16649s	Banning the stratus again again yeah
16651s	which is really weird
16653s	um because I don't think they're good
16654s	ships and I don't know if they think
16655s	they're good ships uh it actually looks
16657s	like it's almost the same bands that
16658s	they did against Darkseid but templas
16660s	khalsif is not dark side like I don't
16662s	think anyone has ever been like oh yes
16664s	temples calcif and dark side play very
16666s	very similar
16667s	um so I don't know what's going on here
16669s	maybe they're trolling a little bit or
16671s	maybe they're just like whatever full
16673s	send but the temples calciphans
16675s	especially with those blackbirds we've
16676s	seen truth honor light one with
16677s	blackbirds twice today
16679s	so that makes perfect sense like they're
16681s	like oh oh no iwor is here again
16684s	and ccpb um Bart mentions the
16686s	stratosphere like tell us about that
16688s	ship like you see it being used like for
16690s	solo stuff on uh Tranquility a lot but
16693s	not usually in tournaments
16695s	no it's a it's a drone chip which can
16697s	cloak uh which kind of makes it a strong
16698s	ish Hunter it's a weird chip because it
16701s	does not enough damage to really justify
16704s	what it does you know the right now it
16706s	costs way too much for what it actually
16707s	brings
16709s	um in the tournament scene like you said
16710s	it's not really the strongest there are
16712s	lots of other drone comp ships that
16714s	could work a lot better but I'm not sure
16715s	why they twice in a row ban the stratus
16718s	itself I don't know I might ask him
16719s	earlier well also back in the day the
16723s	Stratos for like I think one tournament
16725s	was actually a really good ship to use
16726s	because it could fly a full set of heavy
16729s	drones now it can no longer fly a full
16730s	set of heavy drones so it used to be
16733s	this like okay this ship is worth
16734s	Banning to get rid of an armor drone
16735s	setup
16737s	now I don't think it is
16739s	okay so I'm gonna have to ask you guys
16740s	for some predictions now so black Bart
16742s	pirate truth on a light or template
16744s	Council fear
16745s	um I'm gonna go attempt this calcif
16746s	because I've been wrong every single
16747s	time today
16748s	and uh ccpp obviously truth analytic
16752s	what I said before when I shot casting
16753s	the match like I was kind of beaming
16755s	right they were playing to feed so they
16757s	can get more skins so that you know in
16759s	the whole run you win more ships more
16761s	skins and everything obviously they're
16763s	gonna win
16763s	interesting so uh this is basically kind
16766s	of a grudge match because uh in Alliance
16768s	tournament 15 uh templates counts of not
16771s	Hydra reloaded into the losers bracket
16773s	in the first weekend of the tournament
16774s	back when it was a four weekend
16775s	tournament as well uh Hydro had to go
16778s	three losers bracket run to get all the
16780s	way back up to the final and then lose
16782s	um so as far as I understand they
16784s	haven't played again since so this would
16786s	be interesting to see if Tempest Castle
16788s	can pull it out once again so I'm going
16790s	to put my money behind 10 plus calcif
16791s	let's go to the arena and find out
16795s	three two one
16798s	hey everybody welcome back to the arena
16800s	I am the Basilisk known by some as the
16802s	most skilled even line pilot to never
16804s	finish top 16 in the alliance tournament
16805s	I'm joined by Fair weiner a man who with
16807s	that last match with brave Collective
16809s	unfortunately losing did still secure
16810s	top 12 in the alliance tournament fear
16812s	how are you doing are you are you happy
16813s	it happened are you sad it's sorry sad
16815s	it's over or well you know what I'm
16817s	trying to say it's over but I'm looking
16818s	forward to truth on her light versus
16820s	temples calcif uh seeing some already
16823s	slept nears already HFI is coming in
16825s	from the truth on our Light Side uh
16827s	bringing a kite set up meanwhile what do
16830s	we see from temples calcif
16832s	uh templates calcif seem to have brought
16834s	this fairly standard triple armor
16835s	Battleship call but I think we've seen
16836s	from them a couple of times before and
16837s	I'm curious to see how this is going to
16838s	go obviously truth on light as you said
16840s	bring in a fairly fly killer setup and
16841s	that is not a fly killer a fly filled
16844s	comp that they're up against in that
16845s	Templars calcium side mainly those three
16847s	bulky battleships so I expect them to
16849s	just try and take out the small wing on
16851s	that ship see if they can Alpha through
16853s	the Sentinel behind the logic frigates
16854s	that sort of stuff and just try and play
16856s	it slow and Whittle down the Templars
16858s	comp over the course of the match here
16860s	you know it's not a quad battle cruiser
16862s	comp lose last time around it was quad
16863s	brawl battle Cruisers this time it's
16865s	quad kite battle Cruisers with that
16867s	shield with those uh ever important 720
16870s	millimeter artillery cannons we are
16873s	waiting for the tournament tool to uh do
16877s	what it needs to do at the moment as uh
16880s	we are still waiting for that countdown
16883s	I you know this triple Battleship armor
16885s	control setup we've seen a lot this
16887s	tournament and I've noticed a bit of a
16889s	rock paper scissors going on where we
16890s	see these kind of Rush setups typically
16892s	do well into these triple battleships or
16895s	into like these kite setups and the or
16897s	sorry into these triple Battleship
16899s	setups and we see these triple
16900s	Battleship setups project well against
16902s	certain kite setups but other kite
16904s	setups have been doing very well against
16906s	these triple Battleship cores as we saw
16908s	in the uh earlier match between Brave
16910s	and lock range enjoyers yeah and I think
16913s	this kite set up in particular from
16914s	truth on the light obviously a very very
16916s	high skill
16917s	um group of players here on this team
16918s	they're definitely capable of pulling
16919s	off mechanics that are necessary to
16921s	maintain the Ranger and I'm going to
16922s	keep an eye personally on stalants in
16924s	the hyena because I think the ranged
16925s	webs on that hyena are basically the
16928s	only real window that templates have of
16929s	actually controlling the truth on the
16931s	light and actually getting hold of
16932s	something they're not going to get
16932s	caught by a bowel gone we've seen lesser
16934s	teams get caught by it but I just don't
16936s	think it's going to happen for templates
16937s	here with those ranged Belgium ones
16939s	unless it's some sort of heroic mjd play
16941s	but even then I mean truth on the light
16943s	are good enough to just look at the MGD
16944s	look at where he's going play with the
16946s	range play the positioning and just get
16947s	out of the way
16948s	and as you can see on the uh fancy UI
16951s	lots of dance being put out uh double
16954s	moles plus a carries I've got dual
16956s	jackdaws as well those are going to be
16957s	putting out uh damps in their mid slots
16960s	we saw them go for the Sentinel off the
16961s	start they weren't able to Alpha it now
16962s	going for this Magus he is living
16965s	through these reps right now I believe
16967s	this is just dual logic figure up so
16968s	Deacon Thalia so wrecking shots should
16970s	be enough but they haven't killed
16972s	anything quite yet yeah as you said on
16974s	the fancy UI 10 plus calcif are
16976s	definitely not lock ranging Joys at the
16977s	moment their support Wing can lock
16979s	basically nothing and I think that's a
16981s	really good allocation of the damps here
16983s	um these these battleships they've got a
16984s	pretty short range and they've got the
16985s	tracking disruptors on them so they
16987s	don't really need to worry too much
16988s	about being locked by them the main
16990s	concern is the webs from the hyena as I
16992s	said and if you damp down that hyena he
16993s	probably hasn't got a sensor booster 50
16995s	might not have like a signal amp in the
16996s	lows so it's going to be very very
16997s	difficult for him to actually get into
16999s	web range tracking interceptors going in
17001s	onto blue melon and onto dextrogeo at
17004s	the moment although I will say grapple
17006s	and web has actually come on to melon in
17009s	the sleptner so he is now taking some
17010s	damage uh who actually has them grappled
17013s	it is the balgorn uh got him with the
17015s	long range web so true thunder light
17017s	just gonna leave him to die and
17019s	hopefully try to take out this Magus
17020s	which they do do they do but yeah blue
17022s	melon this is not good from him
17024s	obviously as I said at the start the
17025s	sleptness should really not be getting
17026s	caught by a bow gone but Kayla 542 is
17028s	pushing in but the orianna in the
17030s	Tempest split is actually moving away
17031s	from him so I mean there's a significant
17033s	chunk of their damage there in that
17034s	Battleship they need to kill the slept
17036s	now although you know I guess they can
17037s	take their time with it they know the
17038s	truth on light and this claycomb aren't
17040s	going to come around they're not going
17041s	to turn around and come back to save him
17042s	as long as they can keep this balcon on
17043s	top of him which would you know the
17045s	newts and the and the webs they
17046s	definitely can and the abandon's closing
17048s	in now as well they probably are going
17049s	to be able to secure this lepner kill
17050s	it's just about what can truth on alike
17052s	get in the return
17054s	they're gonna try to go for this
17055s	arbitrator originally they went for the
17056s	Sentinel but once again holding under
17058s	those frigate webs the 720 is not
17060s	tracking him
17061s	at this range at the moment
17063s	especially with those tracking computers
17065s	from the arbitrator and Sentinel doing
17067s	what they can do Bluebell and finally in
17068s	a structure he will fall now things been
17070s	traded by truth on our light at the
17072s	moment and uh temples calcif off to an
17074s	early lead
17075s	yeah they are and of course as we've
17076s	seen other matches that have played out
17078s	slowly before this also puts the team
17080s	that's behind at this you know they have
17082s	they have the onuses on them to do
17084s	something they need to make something
17085s	happen and seeing that slapney get
17087s	caught is disastrous maybe they should
17089s	have split some of their damps on that
17091s	battle gun just in case just as a safety
17092s	measure
17094s	um because you know the Bal gun on the
17095s	hyena were the only ways they can really
17096s	get caught here and they've got so many
17097s	dams in this comp that the Jack doors as
17099s	we mentioned the carries the two
17100s	morrises there's just going to be
17101s	overwhelming air pressure but they do
17102s	manage to take down the Sentinel of
17103s	whaling six names there
17106s	and that is very important because the
17108s	Sentinel has better e-war than the
17110s	arbitrator uh in terms of the
17112s	effectiveness of those tracking
17113s	disruptors that have been uh running
17116s	through these h5s and 3D [ __ ] nearest
17117s	are now going to go on nostalia who is
17119s	down into very low armor they nearly
17121s	volleyed them through it one more set of
17123s	uh gun cycle and it will do uh what they
17126s	need to do and they take out the Thalia
17127s	so now true thunder light are actually
17129s	in a better position after taking that
17131s	e-board off the table and one of the
17132s	lodgy frigs the actress on a light have
17135s	really shifted into gear here by taking
17136s	out that Sentinel because in this kite
17138s	comp they need to keep moving around so
17139s	they they've got to keep range so they
17141s	need the optimal range on their
17141s	artilleries they need the tracking
17143s	because they're burning around their
17144s	opponents obviously burning around after
17145s	them as well they need both of those
17147s	critical stats for those artillery guns
17149s	which obviously have decent range have
17150s	pretty poor tracking taking that Central
17152s	Off the Grid sort of solves that issue a
17153s	little bit for them and lets them start
17154s	chipping away at the failure as we saw
17156s	they pop that pretty quickly now we're
17157s	looking at the Deacon of safoy
17159s	and if we take a look at the control uh
17162s	on the side of Truth on our light beside
17164s	them it's just Shield wraps those are
17166s	the only effects going in onto them none
17168s	of this e-war is hitting from Temple's
17170s	calcif and they don't have anyone tackle
17172s	truth on a light taking out another ship
17173s	there I believe it was the pawn effects
17175s	and now they are in the lead in terms of
17177s	points of the match and they should just
17179s	be able to live to win now
17181s	yeah I mean it was a good start from
17182s	Templars catching that [ __ ] now but
17184s	lightning doesn't really strike twice
17186s	and you know it's going to be tricky to
17187s	catch Dexter or either of the fleet
17189s	hurricanes in those battle cruises as
17191s	well especially after you've lost for
17193s	example the links on the Magus Skirmish
17195s	links obviously very very critical for
17196s	the web range on the balgon on the hyena
17198s	and yeah now they're just going to
17199s	continue chipping through the support
17201s	Wing I mean I think they pop the pawn to
17202s	fix they seem to have stopped on the
17203s	Deacon I think now they're going back on
17204s	to Oriana in the Tempest but yeah
17206s	they're just gonna happen
17208s	around come here for the 10 plus you as
17211s	a template Fleet issue
17214s	anyways uh gotta cover this Temple issue
17217s	he doesn't have any logic frigates
17219s	actually I should say he has one Deacon
17221s	onto him which isn't a whole lot of
17222s	rapping power
17223s	um and the 720 artilleries they have
17225s	decent DPS uh All Things Considered
17228s	considering they are mostly an alpha uh
17230s	style gun so they're taking them down
17233s	they're burning through his armor reps
17235s	and they should be able to take him uh
17237s	as they've decided not to touch any of
17239s	the rest of temples calcif's comp
17241s	yeah and just sort of have a a slightly
17244s	broader discussion here based on these
17245s	comps
17246s	um obviously when you you know you're up
17247s	against truth on a light you know
17249s	they're very highly rated execution team
17251s	you know they can every pilot on this
17253s	team is good at manual piloting they
17254s	know where they're going they know their
17255s	role what do you think about the
17257s	Templars comp which is very sort of
17259s	sort of one note I suppose you know it
17261s	can either get on you with these three
17262s	battleships and pump through you or it
17263s	just gets kited around which is
17265s	basically what we're seeing here do you
17266s	think maybe like I think a little bit
17267s	more versatile might have been a better
17270s	play I think this is the type of comp if
17272s	you don't you bring if you don't think
17274s	you know what the other team is bringing
17276s	and you're just like we'll hope they
17278s	bring some sort of triple Battleship or
17279s	armor control mirror match setup but
17282s	that's not really something you can do
17283s	up against teams like truth on our light
17285s	who have myriads of tournament
17288s	experience they won the last at they got
17290s	knocked down the lower bracket yes but
17292s	they still are a very scary team and
17295s	they can bring in whatever comp they
17297s	want and fly out very well so if you
17299s	think oh I'll take this and hope that we
17300s	got an armor control mirror match you're
17302s	basically just shooting in the dark and
17304s	hoping that maybe you can make something
17306s	happen uh later on in the tournament but
17308s	it doesn't matter what truth on our
17309s	light flies here really because I think
17311s	even if there were a mirror match they
17313s	probably executed better over Temple's
17315s	calcif yeah I mean trying to take this
17317s	sort of coin flip that your armor
17319s	control comp is either a theory crafted
17321s	better or B piloted better than truth on
17323s	a light is is a weighted coin I think in
17325s	my opinion
17326s	it's not great
17328s	no it's not and also you brought armor
17330s	control without high projection so you
17332s	don't actually deal with uh these types
17335s	of kite comps all that well even without
17336s	the amount of e-war that they brought
17338s	and you don't deal with uh you don't
17341s	deal with rush very well because as
17343s	we've seen time and time again these
17345s	armor control comps unless you have like
17347s	a flag Vindicator with very short-range
17349s	guns still have trouble dealing with
17351s	Shield rush because Shield Rush has
17353s	overwhelming amounts of damage that
17354s	you're not able to rep past when you
17356s	take two Logie freaks
17358s	so just going back to this hydrocon or
17361s	truth on Alliant Justice League whatever
17362s	you want to call them
17364s	um throughout the tournament so far I
17365s	think we remarked on day one and two
17366s	that we didn't really see a huge amount
17368s	of damp Supremacy we saw you know a fair
17370s	amount of control more than obviously
17371s	more than we saw last year when scripted
17373s	damps weren't a thing but do you think
17375s	this now where truth on lights sort of
17377s	reaching the late stage of the
17378s	tournament we're getting to top eight
17379s	top six sort of area do you think now
17380s	this is where truth on the light sort of
17381s	starts to reveal their true power level
17383s	and says look we've got this comp that's
17384s	got five just absolutely ram-packed with
17387s	damp ships you cannot play the game and
17389s	other teams gonna follow suit here
17391s	I think every team has dabbled with
17394s	damps and with tracking disruptors one
17396s	thing that we noticed is that the only
17398s	team that was really bringing it early
17399s	on in the tournament was paper numbers
17400s	they were bringing it in the shield kite
17402s	setup and then bringing some damps in
17404s	the mids making the ships less tanky but
17406s	able to kite around now we saw starting
17408s	with tuskers and now with truth on our
17410s	light a different take on that kind of
17413s	damp and our control setup from either
17415s	Shield kite or in tuscar's case armor
17418s	kite
17419s	um I called the armor kite one uh hammer
17422s	time because he can't touch this very
17424s	similar kind of idea from temples calcif
17427s	bringing so much control in a shield
17429s	setup so you're way faster than any of
17432s	these armor control setups can really
17433s	deal with yeah I actually had a chance
17435s	to look at some of those kill mouse from
17436s	the tuskers match like the Claymore
17438s	um and I think he had literally a prop
17439s	mod and then he had like two guidance
17441s	disruptors true tracking disruptors and
17442s	a damp or something so I imagine the
17444s	rest of the ships the armor Nighthawks
17445s	and all that the stalks Etc were just
17447s	again just absolutely rampacked and of
17448s	course that actually worked out in favor
17450s	for them against truth on a light in a
17452s	match that I thought at the start looked
17454s	sort of a little bit a little bit
17455s	questionable I thought was was that
17457s	tuscus comp the ramblings of a Madman
17460s	but actually it turned out to be the the
17462s	scriptures of a genius
17464s	and we're seeing what true thought on a
17467s	lot has brought with that too I do think
17468s	we're gonna see more damps show up as we
17470s	are later in the tournament now that
17471s	these teams are forced to play their
17473s	hand truth or light in lower bracket now
17475s	forced to play their hand against teams
17476s	that they deem to be threats uh they
17478s	will be up against either we form Volta
17480s	or lock range enjoyers in the next match
17482s	and those are teams that Volta second
17486s	place in the at last time and then lock
17489s	range enjoyers they were uh first place
17491s	in the anger games earlier this year
17494s	yeah I mean at the start of the day I
17496s	was saying you know 18 teams left 16
17498s	after the first two matches you can't
17500s	swing a cat in either bracket without
17501s	hitting a good team and now we're down
17502s	to just what is it eight teams I believe
17504s	or seven after this match sorry so I
17506s	mean every match is obviously very very
17508s	difficult there's a lot at stake here
17509s	we're really getting into the higher
17510s	tiers of the science tournament but that
17512s	is I think going to be just about it
17514s	from the arena here with 10 seconds left
17516s	on the match there's gonna be truth I
17517s	like taking it 71 points to 19.
17528s	uh we're gonna send it back to the desk
17530s	to break down that mattress and bring
17532s	you into nanofiber tokens versus
17533s	platinum sensitivity but don't go
17535s	anywhere we'll be right back after this
17553s	[Music]
17556s	thank you
17564s	sign was up
17585s	pump it up a little more get the party
17588s	going on the Dance Floor
17619s	truth honor light bonking templar's
17621s	Castle right out of the tournament uh
17623s	with that incredibly piloted fly killer
17626s	setup I have we saw at the start of that
17628s	match uh it looked like they took their
17630s	shot and they missed then they went for
17631s	another ship and then they missed and we
17632s	were sitting here thinking oh hang on
17634s	our Temple's going to pull this one off
17635s	are they doing it uh and then we saw a
17638s	Magus just get volleyed off the field
17640s	and then critically blue melon in uh one
17643s	of the Arty select news got tackled and
17646s	he went down pretty quickly because
17647s	these ships were kiting trips are
17648s	designed to be you know super tanky
17651s	um and it started to look like temples
17652s	were going to pull this one off and then
17654s	Bart it looked like we saw the truth on
17656s	the light guys do some what we usually
17658s	say transversal matching talk to me
17660s	about what happened there uh yeah so uh
17663s	Eve online tracking is complicated
17665s	um but not as complicated as missiles
17667s	and uh basically you want to have your
17669s	ships flying in the same direction
17671s	or flying directly away from each other
17673s	so that the shots will hit and Truth on
17675s	her light was able to pull that off uh
17677s	and start alfing through things which
17680s	sounds a lot less impressive Until you
17682s	realize you are in a 125 kilometer
17684s	sphere so you can't just do what you do
17686s	on TQ where you're like oh I'm just
17687s	going to go in a straight line
17688s	indefinitely and they'll chase me and
17689s	I'll blow their ships up you actually
17691s	have to continue turning continue
17692s	dodging they were dodging hyena webs
17694s	ballgorn webs I believe the attempts
17696s	Fleet issue MJ deed into them at least
17698s	once but the big thing that I think
17700s	happened is when that Magus went down uh
17703s	the links dropped and as soon as that
17704s	happened I don't know exactly what links
17707s	the mags had on them but I think that
17708s	was the difference of ships tanking and
17710s	ships not tanking and I think the mag
17712s	has had the Speed links on it as well so
17714s	everything slowed down a little bit just
17715s	enough truth on the lights able to land
17717s	their shots very very well played on
17719s	their part except for the sleptner that
17720s	got tackled yeah unfortunately he was
17723s	tackled and he did go down cpb
17726s	um when you're flying things like RT
17727s	ships like how hard is it to actually
17728s	like make use of them
17730s	it's something that you definitely need
17732s	to practice
17733s	um I think when you're starting out
17735s	learning how to kite I think it's easy
17737s	to do that in missile ships to begin
17738s	with and then slowly graduate towards
17741s	other things like turrets
17743s	um I think practicing with rail guns is
17745s	probably better before you start
17746s	practicing with with the RDS because of
17748s	how rarely you get to shoot the RDS
17751s	basically you fire and you have to wait
17753s	like 10 15 seconds depending on what
17754s	what platform you're using uh whereas
17756s	with um with railguns you get to fire
17758s	more often and realize oh I'm hitting
17759s	now oh I'm not hitting it now and you
17760s	get to understand how to fly how to to
17764s	actually apply your damage yeah we also
17766s	saw a Liberal Liberal use of the damping
17769s	ships in that last match from truth on a
17772s	light a bunch of them five in fact uh
17775s	Bart take us through the damping
17776s	mechanics
17777s	so with sensor damps you have two
17779s	different scripts that you can use one
17780s	of them which either will make you lock
17782s	much much slower and the other which was
17784s	much more Irrelevant in this match was
17786s	one that reduces your lock range uh we
17789s	saw that most of it I don't think that
17791s	anyone was using the sensor uh the lock
17794s	speed amps it's possible but the locker
17797s	range stamps are incredibly powerful
17798s	especially when you have bonus ships
17800s	like molluses and Carries and they were
17803s	probably some on the jackdaws as well
17804s	but that was what it was able to allow
17806s	truth honor light to prevent themselves
17808s	from really taking any more damage uh
17810s	the hyena was definitely like damped out
17812s	the entire fight probably had a lock
17813s	range of like five which is not
17815s	enjoyable in any way shape or form and
17818s	just by doing that it made the kiting so
17820s	much easier like a hyena is so good at
17821s	grabbing ships but not when it can't
17823s	lock anything
17824s	yeah so our next match we're going to go
17826s	to talk about now if Platinum
17827s	sensitivity versus nanofiber tokens so
17829s	interestingly enough um when you fly in
17832s	a match uh the actual match sort of
17834s	simulation starts quite far before the
17835s	match itself as you're contacted with
17837s	the referees you have to do bands it's a
17839s	which is what we're looking at here is a
17840s	blind band system whereas Platinum
17842s	sensitivity would have submitted their
17843s	three bands nanofirus tokens there are
17845s	three bands and then if there's any
17846s	duplicates they have the trickle bands
17847s	Platinum since uh sorry nanofiber tokens
17849s	played only about half an hour ago so
17851s	they would have finished that match and
17853s	they would have had a conversation with
17854s	the GMS pretty much immediately and so
17857s	no time to unpack stuff they have to go
17858s	through and say hey watch your bands in
17860s	this case they went for Bargas Loki
17861s	balgorm and platinum sensitivity going
17863s	for yield Classics at this point uh EOS
17866s	jackdaw and the hyena Bart what do you
17868s	think uh I think that you know
17871s	what you said about them having so
17873s	little time probably starts really
17875s	playing into this uh nanofiber tokens
17877s	that like that's like kind of the
17878s	standard basic like uh these ships are
17881s	strong don't get rid of them bands um
17883s	but yeah Platinum sensitivity is
17884s	definitely like realized how good this
17886s	jackdaw ship is and we've been seeing it
17888s	uh Banning out an EOS pretty much bans
17890s	drones out you could still try it but I
17892s	wouldn't suggest it and uh hyenas are
17894s	just very strong ships but uh
17896s	yeah it's a it's pretty rough for
17897s	nanofiber tokens 30 minutes is not a lot
17899s	of time unless you're ending up in a
17900s	best of three and then at which case
17902s	you've already won so much that you're
17903s	probably okay with it yeah CCP you've
17905s	been uh practicing and playing uh with
17907s	the truth on the light team you were
17908s	telling us about
17910s	um what's it like having to turn around
17911s	matches pretty quickly
17913s	I think practice is way different than
17915s	this you know on the day actually
17916s	competing in practice it's very relaxed
17918s	you're you know you're just following a
17919s	schedule you have X many things you want
17921s	to test out that night and you're just
17922s	running through it and a lot of time you
17924s	know I'd be waiting on the other team to
17926s	show up to even practice with you but
17927s	with this this is like this is game time
17930s	you know it matters a lot what you're
17932s	going to be banning this is now like
17934s	this is what they've been practicing
17935s	from months and months for but I think
17937s	that nft have just been warming up today
17939s	and I think they're ready for this much
17940s	interesting let's take a look at some of
17943s	the um Alliance uh details for some of
17945s	these teams let's see if we can pull up
17946s	uh where everyone comes first
17949s	plan of sensitivity so 15 Pilots have
17951s	flown for platinum sensitivity in the
17953s	alliance tournament uh some veterans
17955s	clearly playing in over 20 different
17957s	matches
17959s	um and they've been relatively
17960s	successful winning a chunk more than
17962s	they've lost which is pretty good the
17964s	matches that they have lost against
17965s	recently have been against we form Volta
17967s	the tuskers call and then we Farm Volta
17969s	again so you know that's two very strong
17971s	teams
17972s	um they've won against a rival bright
17974s	side of death a band apart laser Hawks
17976s	the network and exodus so very strong
17979s	victories as well so this is a good team
17981s	uh certainly not to be underestimated
17982s	let's take a look at nanofiber tokens
17986s	so 95 tokens a bit smaller roster only
17988s	12 Pilots have uh have flown with them
17991s	so far
17992s	um again a couple of veterans here nine
17994s	runs from Andy astronaut and they've had
17996s	a good record as well I only played five
17998s	matches but they have won four of them
17999s	dropping only once to Odin's call who
18002s	are currently still in the winners
18003s	bracket and being very very strong so we
18005s	expect a lot of things from them and
18006s	nanofiber tokens beat Esports Petopia
18008s	pandemic Legion wrote Capel and brave
18011s	Collective so Esports is a good team PL
18013s	is a team rockapel is a good team and
18015s	brave Collective is a solid team
18018s	okay I'm told the teams are now on grid
18020s	so let's go to the arena for this match
18022s	between Platinum sensitivity and Nano
18024s	fiber tokens
18031s	some point
18037s	hey everybody welcome back to the arena
18039s	um I'm again joined by Fair weiner
18041s	um nanofiber tokens I'll start with them
18043s	because I think this is a comp we've
18044s	seen from them multiple times in the day
18045s	and I think actually me and fear were
18047s	pretty critical of it during that brave
18049s	match that we were watching we really
18050s	didn't like this concept of having two
18051s	rapid heavy battleships but obviously
18053s	they won the match it worked out for
18054s	them and here they are bringing
18055s	basically exactly the same thing again
18057s	against this Platinum sensitivity which
18059s	also looks a little bit familiar if you
18060s	want to tell us a little bit about that
18061s	now they brought the window vindi abedin
18064s	once again worked against Shield Rush
18066s	last time around this time uh instead of
18069s	being all blue and uh red gems it is
18073s	yellow and green that got a far figure
18075s	out
18076s	who you are jamming and why this is dual
18079s	logic frags they don't have a whole lot
18080s	of scam res I expect this Widow to be
18082s	able to basically make them useless this
18084s	entire game and we are about ready to
18086s	start the countdown I'm excited what
18088s	about you oh I'm very excited but I also
18091s	think the key aspect of this match is
18092s	going to be the Widow's jams as we were
18093s	saying into logic figures but not only
18095s	that if he can at some point you know
18097s	say the name Navy Armageddon say okay
18098s	we're gonna shoot
18099s	you know the pontifex let's try and clip
18101s	that pontifex maybe they get five Cycles
18103s	into their clip and the Widow says okay
18104s	I'm gonna cycle a jam on the get and he
18105s	jams that getting that getting stops
18107s	shooting for 20 seconds and now for the
18108s	rest of the match unless those gettings
18110s	commit a significant time investment to
18112s	getting their Clips back to sync they
18114s	will be out of sync and they they will
18116s	be reloading at different times they'll
18117s	be firing at different times and that is
18119s	one of the critical weaknesses of Rapid
18120s	heavy comps is they rely on these ships
18122s	firing at the same time to out for a
18124s	primary target
18126s	yeah and this time they brought a
18127s	damnation instead of an EOS uh last time
18130s	we saw them bring anything else this
18131s	time they brought a damnation just uh
18133s	thinking that they want the Skirmish
18135s	links this time around they do have
18137s	quite a bit of range on those nudes
18139s	might be able to keep this Vindicator
18140s	which is not a flag bendy so 10
18142s	kilometer webs instead of uh however
18145s	long purple webs are like 30. so very
18150s	long uh 10 o'clock never loves the four
18152s	lengths it's got a mega so it's really
18153s	like 13 but uh either way potshots being
18157s	taken out this arbitrator Thalia and
18158s	Sentinel right now uh buy this window
18161s	and and uh avidan The Vindicator really
18164s	not in range yet to really do anything
18166s	but as we take a look jams going all
18170s	over the nanofiber tokens team yeah and
18172s	platinum sensitivity you're trying to
18174s	push in here as well with this Fendi of
18175s	course they want to try and utilize the
18176s	strength of this Fendi and obviously the
18178s	strength of the Abaddon as well short
18179s	range battleships to try and get into
18180s	range and start shooting something
18182s	um just going back to what you were
18183s	saying about the damnation pick I
18184s	believe they they as you say they did
18186s	field on EOS last time but the EOS is
18187s	banned um but I'm not sure how how
18189s	weaker how much weaker it's going to be
18191s	losing those Skirmish links they may
18192s	have wanted the speed links or siglinks
18194s	to help the Thalia and Decon tank and
18195s	indeed The Sentinel and swipple as well
18197s	they're small and benefits greatly from
18198s	the extra tank from that speed but
18200s	damnation obviously not getting those
18201s	same bonuses
18202s	yeah the input Lakes are nice to have at
18205s	the very least when you have kind of
18207s	higher production comps such as army gun
18209s	Navy such as uh in this tournament where
18212s	you scripted the war exists and it's so
18215s	powerful but we see uh the scripted D
18216s	war of choice renowned fiber tokens
18218s	missile disruption
18220s	and one damp it looks like
18223s	well Platinum sensitivity brought a lot
18224s	of missile disruption
18226s	and these armaged navies and this
18227s	damnation really aren't doing a whole
18229s	lot we see split damage uh mostly from
18231s	drones across the entire team on the
18234s	nanofiber tokens but no one has really
18237s	died yet this match I think from this
18238s	point nanofiber tokens are going to
18239s	start shooting this Vindicator of Mount
18241s	Bridges because he's burned right into
18242s	the middle of them here and I think he's
18243s	got a web on that first night Navy
18244s	getting of Chadwick I saw him burning
18246s	towards 10 RS in the vexil Navy 10
18248s	obviously keeping his eyes open burning
18249s	away from that bin he doesn't want to
18250s	get tackled down he's in big trouble if
18252s	he does but I think that sort of took
18253s	Mark bridges in this Vindicator pretty
18255s	close to these get-ins close to this
18256s	damnation and he's got them tackled but
18258s	I'm not 100 sure this is actually what
18260s	he wants to do here he may have sort of
18261s	tackled him just as a matter of
18262s	opportunism rather than because it's
18264s	actually his plan here because now both
18265s	these Navy guidance I can see a cycling
18267s	there newts on him significant new power
18268s	from these gettings the vindi is a very
18270s	cap Reliant boat with those guns and
18271s	obviously he needs his prop as well to
18273s	stay in range and now he is kind of
18274s	eating [ __ ]
18276s	kind of is the opportune word there
18279s	though because remember he does have a
18280s	widow and just like that Mark Bridges is
18282s	taking no more damage so it looks like
18284s	uh the Widow landed the golden gems on
18287s	the Armageddon navies and stopped them
18289s	from killing his Vindicator bro in Mark
18292s	Bridges who still has a web still has
18293s	tackle and remember uh when you jam off
18296s	somebody they can't Newt you either so
18298s	now his guns are working uh there is
18300s	some damage going on on the Sully right
18301s	now but once again looks mostly like pot
18304s	shots uh con peso has to be close to his
18306s	Armageddon Navy's uh so he is relatively
18309s	close to this Vindicator but he doesn't
18310s	have a web on top of him yet and just as
18313s	I say that there's the web there's a
18314s	scram and uh I mean it's a 10-month
18316s	ollie I don't know how good the scram's
18318s	gonna be but he will go down and maybe
18320s	be traded for fgi too yeah the drones
18322s	are switching over to the Thalia here I
18324s	can see a swarm of blue drones just
18325s	pewing away at that failure and The
18327s	Vindicator of mock Bridges is actually
18328s	still slowly bleeding through armor he's
18330s	just about to hit 50 here
18332s	um and I feel like this is not where the
18334s	windy wants to be I said a bunch of
18335s	times and concert we saw of indicators
18337s	last week the key to have indicator comp
18339s	is you need to have a setup that
18340s	facilitates the vindi doing what it
18342s	wants to do and the targets on this grid
18344s	looking at them the damnation is
18346s	probably the thing The Vindicator would
18347s	like to shoot the least it's very very
18349s	tanky but if that damnation just sits on
18350s	him and holds him down
18352s	um you know he he he can't shoot
18354s	anything else because the rest of his
18355s	team the getons the vexo Navy all that
18358s	sort of stuff can just stay away from
18359s	The Vindicator and the Vinnie has no
18360s	choice but it does actually seem to be
18362s	here that The Vindicator is chasing
18364s	after the damnation the damnation seems
18366s	to be running away from the Bindi
18367s	whereas I would have thought the
18367s	damnation would actually be trying to
18368s	hold the windy in place and say you know
18370s	shoot me leave everyone else alone
18373s	well I mean they are shooting the
18374s	damnation right now and he is down in
18375s	half armor he got to a logic for X but
18377s	he also got a widow uh and Screen gems
18380s	between a vexer navy and Nathalia I
18382s	guess which one is going to be uh jammed
18386s	out by the Widow it's probably the
18387s	Thalia so the damnation going down now
18390s	into 25 armor remaining and Mark Bridges
18393s	he stabilized in his armor thanks to
18396s	this Widow jamming out the damage from
18398s	the side plot or some side of uh
18400s	nanofiber tokens and now damnation
18402s	finally in a structure this will be the
18404s	first kill of the match it will I think
18406s	yeah this damnation is going to go down
18407s	and this is I just want to bring Focus
18409s	here to the fact that both these teams
18410s	have bought lodgy frigates this match
18412s	once you get into the later stage of the
18413s	tournament as well this is a very very
18415s	difficult environment to fly Logie
18417s	Ferguson on the side of Nano fiber
18419s	tokens you've got Kano Paso and Andy
18421s	astronaut trying to keep people up but
18423s	they can't go into the range of that
18424s	Bindi web or they will just get blasted
18426s	and on the other side You've Got fgi 2
18427s	and nightcap again trying their best to
18429s	keep the Vindicator up but they don't
18430s	want to go in range of the Navy
18431s	Armageddon newts and just get instantly
18432s	cut out so very very difficult juggling
18435s	act for both for all these lodgy
18436s	frigates here trying to do their best to
18438s	keep people up without sort of hinting
18440s	but that damnation of obix does go down
18441s	and they haven't really got much in
18442s	return of India still sort of bleeding
18443s	again he's down to 40 armor
18446s	yeah but importantly this Widow is now
18447s	tackled uh Kent larkis has been webbed
18450s	down by these Navy Gardens and scrammed
18453s	uh as well so he is not going anywhere
18456s	these Navy Gardens right on top of them
18457s	alongside the vexer Navy but Mark
18459s	Bridges is coming in wants to save his
18461s	widow uh friend at the moment not a lot
18463s	of damage has been put onto Kent as he
18465s	starts putting some damage I think on a
18467s	Chadwick uh in the star we got a Navy or
18469s	maybe the specs are navy of uh 10
18471s	arrests and in fact that is his primary
18473s	target yeah they have got this bit of
18475s	tackle down but they don't seem to be
18476s	shooting I think they've said well with
18477s	you know 70 of the way through this
18479s	Vindicator we've got to keep killing
18480s	that or else these frigates might come
18481s	in wrap them back up again they are
18482s	going to lose 10 arrest but they're sort
18483s	of saving this window for afterwards and
18485s	they've still got these two get a Navy's
18486s	pumping out the damage but he's this
18488s	Vindicator 30 armor now he's so slowly
18491s	dropping but the more they bleed DPS
18493s	that vexil maybe goes down it's gonna
18495s	start it's going to get even slower and
18496s	even slower I might actually see Mark
18498s	Bridges start to pick back up here the
18499s	failure of can passo is going to go down
18501s	in a second here as well
18503s	being loved by a Vindicator will do that
18505s	to you but uh yeah 90 words doesn't
18508s	matter about the Tanner man they will
18510s	eventually track you just load
18511s	antimatter and uh get what you get that
18515s	said uh some damage has also gone under
18517s	this arm again of Hui kante I would
18519s	assume that's the that's the abandon uh
18521s	shooting on him though because the
18523s	abandonment doesn't really track logic
18524s	freaks all that well there's some damage
18526s	going on to Andy and the Deacon but he
18528s	doesn't have a brother to help him out
18530s	uh might just be all under the snave
18532s	again though there's the web under the
18534s	Deacon so the Deacon will fall
18536s	it will but I'm we're getting late into
18538s	this match now seven minutes in both
18540s	these teams have brought elements that
18542s	snowball the longer the match goes of
18543s	course the ECM gets stronger the more
18544s	targets there are only seven ships left
18546s	on the nanofiber side it's going to be
18547s	more concentrated on the other side the
18549s	two newts the bonus newts from the Navy
18550s	geddens surely they've they've
18552s	obliterated that vindicator's cap by now
18554s	he can't have many cat boosters left his
18555s	guns are going to turn off soon enough
18557s	surely and will will it last long enough
18560s	to deal with Hui kante in the Armageddon
18561s	Navy or will they in fact actually be
18563s	able to even kill him he's still just
18564s	teaching about 40 armor in The
18565s	Vindicator
18566s	yeah and they've actually split the
18568s	newts between the window and The
18569s	Vindicator they want to turn off these
18571s	uh Vindicator guns but they also want to
18573s	turn off the uh jams from the Widow
18576s	right the Widow has bonus to jam
18578s	strength that is why it is a better ship
18580s	than the Scorpion at jamming people and
18582s	not taunting people uh in addition to
18584s	its tag bonus which is kind of useless
18586s	considering it's mostly flown as an
18587s	armor ship unless you don't put any jams
18589s	on it and you're just solo dropping
18591s	people either way Deacon has been taken
18592s	down and thus far no one has died from
18595s	Platinum sensitivity Mark bridge is
18597s	staying alive he's living to win Hui
18600s	kante's almost down into structure and
18602s	he's gotten a lodgy frigates to help him
18603s	out yeah 13 armor ten percent armor he
18606s	is going to go down here we can't say
18607s	and of course this is as we said
18609s	elimination match the loser of this is
18610s	going to go out um with a top eight
18612s	placement which is obviously a strong
18613s	performance but both these teams would
18614s	love to go further but this is this is
18617s	what this is what makes or breaks the
18618s	top tier team here the decision making
18620s	in these in these critical moments have
18622s	they decided incorrectly to split the
18625s	new say would it have been better to
18626s	pile all the news on The Vindicator to
18627s	stop his guns pile you know all the
18630s	newts on the Widow stop the jams and
18631s	just keep their DPS flowing I don't know
18632s	I don't know I mean this I'm not a top
18634s	eight pilot um but this kind of
18636s	situation is is where teams are made
18638s	make or break themselves here
18641s	yeah and we see them committing onto
18643s	Mark Bridges I think he was just fully
18644s	beating right you say oh it's a mistake
18647s	an over extension from the veteran
18648s	you're playing too far forward but
18649s	remember you have a Widow on your team
18652s	the strongest championship in the game
18654s	and so long as he doesn't get tackled
18655s	he's going to stay alive because you
18659s	know are we got navies They Don't Really
18660s	project all that far yeah they got rapid
18663s	heavy so probably like 50 60 right but
18665s	they don't really have a range bonus uh
18667s	either way this Widow eventually got
18669s	tackled but then you have Vinnie and
18670s	Abba just going at it and the Widow uh
18673s	prevents the vindi from really getting
18675s	anything on top of them it's just this
18677s	one arm again Navy and the arbitrator
18679s	left from nanofiber tokens and I do
18681s	think Platinum sensitivity will walk
18684s	away with a clean victory yeah I think
18687s	so too I don't see any Avenue where they
18688s	kill mark Bridges here now or indeed
18689s	anyone else
18690s	um and it's going to be obviously a sad
18692s	time for Nano fiber tokens strikes the
18693s	tournament like this and it I guess it
18695s	comes back to at the start of the match
18696s	excuse me
18699s	um sort of questioning this two Navy
18700s	getting comp does it have enough damage
18702s	to break through battleships they spent
18704s	so long with Mark Bridges just barely
18706s	holding on 40 armor 30 armor and these
18708s	faction battleships have so much base
18709s	ehp that it can be very difficult to
18711s	actually get through them in a
18712s	reasonable period of time when you've
18713s	just got these two rapid heavy comps but
18715s	as it stands they're not gonna they're
18717s	not gonna lose everything but they are
18719s	in fact gonna lose the match 72-0 in
18721s	favor of platinum sensitivity and just
18723s	as time ends we're going to send it back
18724s	to the studio for some more analysis
18742s	[Music]
18746s	thank you
18751s	[Music]
18758s	thank you
18769s	[Applause]
18782s	connected Channel switched well it would
18785s	have been an easy fight right but guess
18787s	what dude I'm not if seeing it people
18788s	can't get they're fit together
18795s	enemies your temps are completely damned
18798s	out Crush I'm dumped out I'm dumped out
18800s	you don't like Champions boys
18809s	Platinum sensitivity there showing that
18811s	perhaps nanofiber tokens were overvalued
18813s	uh in this tournament uh as we say
18815s	goodbye to 905 tokens uh they do win
18817s	prize ships which is great for them uh
18819s	Platinum sensitivity continue their run
18821s	through the lower bracket of the
18822s	tournament looking perhaps to make it to
18824s	the lower bracket final where they will
18826s	then go up against the winner of the
18827s	upper bracket final as is Tradition now
18830s	um Blackboard pirate we noticed um that
18832s	Vindicator seemed to be surviving for a
18834s	very long time able to run his boosters
18836s	for a long time despite being underneath
18838s	pressure and uh you pointed out that
18840s	they seem to be dropping some some cans
18841s	or something what was going on there
18842s	they did uh so
18845s	eventually you will run out of cat
18846s	boosters if the fight lasts long enough
18848s	and that was a 10-minute fight
18850s	um and I believe that Mark Bridges said
18852s	hey help me
18853s	I'm tackled and I need capacitor and
18856s	somebody drove up and they dropped some
18857s	cans for or a cans filled with catfishes
18859s	for him he looted them quickly uh you
18861s	sometimes you'll actually will be fast
18863s	enough to blow the can up before they
18864s	loot uh don't think we saw that we don't
18867s	see that very much anymore it used to be
18868s	more of a tinker setup thing but got
18870s	those was able to keep his new or keep
18872s	his capacitor going and can you do
18873s	damage and they did have two Navy
18875s	guidance which is a lot of newts so The
18877s	Vindicator was able to continue shooting
18879s	and that's always bad for its Target
18881s	factually correct there Blackboard
18882s	pirate
18883s	um CVB you were talking about the Widow
18886s	during that uh that match in fact I
18888s	believe the word used to describe the
18890s	video was disgusting it is disgusting
18892s	yeah uh it's a ship that we even buffed
18894s	recently as well um it now has even
18896s	stronger ECM power than it before and I
18899s	mentioned that I I fairly recently found
18901s	out that you can actually have an ECM
18904s	burst Widow that can burst through a
18906s	Bastion Marauder which is uh like I said
18909s	disgusting
18910s	so the jams on that window they're
18912s	probably doing a lot of work in this
18914s	case obviously they're not using an ECM
18915s	burst um they're using directed jams but
18918s	dealing with that the entire match like
18920s	that must have been really rough
18922s	indeed it is now speaking of being
18924s	incredibly rough I'm told that we have
18926s	an interview with the captain of Odin's
18929s	call and that we are going to play it so
18930s	let's find out if this uh introduce
18932s	yourself to the audience please hi I'm
18935s	I'm Michael sobar I'm the 80 Captain
18937s	officially for audience call
18940s	um being audience.tcrs we have a couple
18943s	of NC palettes with us I've been playing
18947s	e for about five years I've been doing
18950s	small gang and solo stuff for three I
18952s	was co-captained for audience during
18954s	last year's 80 and 85 and this is my
18957s	first year as a captain and what do you
18959s	and your team do outside of the
18961s	tournament oh so we are a wormall group
18963s	we live in a C2 with a no sex static so
18967s	we do a lot of like I mean we used to do
18969s	a lot of no sex stuff there have been a
18972s	couple changes to the game that kind of
18974s	nerfed us but that that's still what we
18976s	try to do
18977s	uh yeah we were like a a medium
18980s	medium-sized woman group I would say and
18983s	we're having fun
18984s	what level of experience does your team
18986s	have okay so yeah we got the all kind of
18989s	pilots from at veterans to uh completing
18993s	your Pilots to that home
18995s	uh last year we ended up sevens in the
18998s	80 we got some anti-pilots that were
19001s	like third a few days ago
19003s	and then we got yeah company newcomers
19005s	that were just discovering the
19007s	tournament format
19010s	um we are like a pretty small team and
19012s	that's why I recruited all these NC
19014s	stackers in the first place
19016s	turns out they are as active on third
19018s	room as you'll actually on TQ so I mean
19021s	didn't really help uh and that's how
19023s	like we ended up like nine people online
19025s	30 minutes before our
19028s	final group match in the trial
19029s	tournament
19031s	and we have to like send messages around
19033s	to get people online and first time log
19036s	into ethereum and play the 80 match
19039s	and that's how you end up like having to
19041s	win seven or eight matches to go through
19042s	the feeders
19044s	you managed to get your place in the at
19045s	by going through the Redemption round of
19048s	the trials tournament can you tell me a
19050s	little bit about what that was like
19051s	oh well it has been stressful I won't
19053s	lie it I've been extremely stressful but
19056s	winning an 80 match which I imagine it
19059s	is even if you lose it's like extremely
19062s	um like an extremely good experience so
19064s	we really enjoyed it uh obviously even
19067s	while we went through the feeders
19069s	um and yeah it was like a pretty hard
19072s	experience but I I loved it I really
19074s	loved it
19075s	are there any teams that you're hoping
19077s	to have the opportunity to play against
19079s	oh yeah I got like one thing I want to
19081s	face it's East Bob Utopia
19083s	I'm very good friend with a captain and
19086s	we got like a history of facing each
19087s	other in in all tournaments we are all
19089s	part of
19090s	uh it's like I got the four last
19092s	tournament the AG uh Island tournament
19094s	last year uh the Chinese tournament
19096s	every time we face each other and it was
19099s	always like interesting matches so I'm
19100s	really looking forward to face them in
19102s	our second match
19103s	is there anything you want to say to the
19105s	audience just to wrap this up yeah about
19107s	tournaments and Eve I think tournaments
19110s	are great they are like the the peak the
19113s	end game of pp or PP enjoys and never
19116s	tried them you should go for it find a
19118s	team do some practices
19120s	even if you think you're not good enough
19121s	you'll be good enough don't worry uh
19123s	it's like a completely different style
19125s	from from what to do on on track energy
19129s	and uh yeah it's good to have people
19131s	investing their time in in tournaments
19133s	again
19134s	I really appreciate it
19136s	um so
19138s	yeah do you want a tournament team
19141s	and find tournaments it's like VDB great
19150s	there you are jintan speaks to the
19152s	captain of audience call uh my
19153s	commiserations uh now let's take a quick
19155s	look at the bands for this upcoming
19157s	match and see uh what these teams have
19158s	decided to uh ban out
19165s	so a Tesla School Banning out pontifex
19167s	Magus and bifrost Odin's called Banning
19170s	out the hyena the stormbringer and the
19171s	Nighthawk uh Blackberry pirate your
19173s	quick thoughts here uh this is the first
19175s	time we've seen somebody ban out a whole
19177s	bunch of command ships and that's really
19179s	cool and clearly tusker just does not
19180s	want to see armor command links so or
19182s	sorry Commissioners knock-manships that
19184s	one awesome well uh with a quick look at
19187s	the bands there let's uh head over to
19188s	the arena and see who will win between
19190s	the tuscaros call and Odin's call
19197s	welcome back to the arena guys um as was
19200s	just observed I'm actually a little bit
19201s	surprised to see those bands because
19202s	usually I've noticed this Odin's call
19204s	that decided to ban the magazine pontino
19205s	those are two of their favorite bands
19207s	I'm gonna be honest I am totally rooting
19208s	for audience here because one of the
19209s	production guys uh went on a computer
19211s	that I'm logged into and went all in on
19212s	Odin's all my 12 000 points are now
19215s	resting on this Golem scorpion Navy 2
19218s	Raven comp the Odin's abroad which is
19220s	something very unusual I don't think
19221s	we've seen them bring and uh how about
19223s	tuskers
19225s	they've brought Shield kite and this
19228s	time around
19229s	uh they have an osprey so they will not
19232s	be having a bunch of Shield kaidi ships
19235s	that aren't using shield and her instead
19237s	uh full V War mids they might still have
19239s	you ward mids I'll have paper numbers
19241s	earlier in the tournament but either way
19244s	they actually are shield ships with
19247s	shields tank up against what is
19250s	unfortunately for them I believe a crew
19252s	set up let me take a look at these guns
19256s	yeah this is not gonna be fun uh unless
19259s	they have a lot of missile guidance
19261s	disruptors which is actually rather
19263s	hilarious because on weekend one I
19265s	suggested that some sort of variant of a
19267s	full Battleship Cruise comp could be a
19269s	final weekend setup and here we are
19270s	Odin's clearly listening into my secret
19272s	strats I've decided to bring it with a
19274s	position in guaranteed top three on the
19277s	line top three to the winner of this
19279s	match
19281s	yep cruises you see one point on the
19284s	model that is cruises three points as
19285s	torps we saw earlier in the tournament
19287s	uh torp set up with very similar looking
19289s	battleships so this time around it is
19292s	cruises the ruse Cruise everybody's
19295s	favorite uh weapon system if you happen
19298s	to be uh someone who likes running 10
19301s	out of 10s although some people still
19304s	prefer torps boo either way 30 seconds
19306s	Little Match start uh make that 15
19308s	seconds until match start I'm excited
19310s	but I also think tuscars have their work
19312s	cut out for them if they don't have
19313s	enough e-war yeah I'm very excited for
19316s	my channel points here to be honest I
19317s	think this is a very very good matchup
19318s	for the setup they're not against any
19320s	Tech Two resist ships so
19322s	um you know there's sometimes the damage
19323s	lacking of cruises can be a problem if
19326s	you're up against something that's got a
19327s	good resist profile I can just tank
19328s	through it with reps they've got a tech
19329s	models prey and they've got a bunch of
19330s	tech one Chips technical resistors play
19332s	Navy caracal maybe Drake's
19334s	um so these Cruisers are gonna be able
19335s	to apply they've got the range they can
19336s	hit the whole Arena but it seems
19338s	actually like tuskers here are just
19339s	ramming in despite being a more sort of
19341s	kite comp I think they're saying well
19342s	there's no point really kiting here
19344s	let's just try and pump onto whatever we
19346s	can and maybe in fact use the bumps to
19348s	try and break uh the Tinker setup of
19349s	these four battleships which I believe
19350s	is what they are going to do
19352s	yeah we saw these Cruise Sinker setups
19354s	earlier in the tournament some of them
19355s	won a lot of the times they lost this
19357s	time around they delete the osprey
19359s	historic gonna be the primary target for
19361s	Odin's call at the moment but
19363s	you know taking these Shield kite setups
19365s	to kill the stork uh into crew setups
19368s	you're bowling at zero and they're
19369s	actually getting through this Golem
19370s	pretty effectively even with the bonus
19372s	rep that the Golem gets yeah and the
19374s	stalk actually boundary there I don't
19375s	really know why I mean he was gonna die
19377s	anyway but he did actually just jump out
19378s	of the arena there but yeah let's go
19380s	with kind of is absolutely melting here
19381s	he's going to go down and quickly now
19383s	Odin's need to deal with this DPS they
19385s	are looking at JJ yakin in the caracal
19387s	they had to spend you know 10-15 seconds
19388s	at the start of the match killing off
19389s	the OS prey to make sure we couldn't
19391s	tank how much damage can they clear here
19393s	these are as I said tech one boats here
19395s	caracal maybe is just about going down
19397s	there he goes they're going to start
19398s	clearing this damage and I mean like I
19400s	said no command ships on the field here
19401s	the Golem is still just about living of
19403s	Colonel Kurtz he's still going to keep
19404s	on squeezing a few more Cycles out of
19405s	his out of his shield booster here how
19407s	much can they get in exchange for him
19409s	I don't know if they can actually get a
19411s	whole lot more they got first caracal
19413s	maybe second Care Old Navy they've lost
19415s	their bursts they're gonna lose their
19416s	bands on their tech one lodgy frags in
19418s	this particular thing and we saw the
19419s	Golem had all the repping power in the
19422s	world at his side but this is
19423s	overwhelming damage coming in uh even
19425s	from these hm elbows these aren't even
19427s	hams uh and you can see the attack bar
19430s	of testers actually were these hands did
19432s	I actually just look at this wrong no I
19434s	think I think they are heavy missiles
19435s	and that's why
19437s	um you know the damage is just not as
19439s	good I think I'm pretty sure they're
19440s	heavy missile models no it's so so it's
19443s	hands on the Cyclone the Drake navies
19446s	looked like they had hmls is this mixed
19448s	weapons I'm actually yeah those are hmls
19453s	regardless of that we're in a situation
19455s	where neither team has lodgy and it's
19456s	just going to be a pure DPS race and I
19458s	have to say with the just pure HP of the
19461s	three battleships on Odin's side I
19462s	really favor them here there's no
19464s	command ship with any staying power they
19465s	are absolutely melting through them the
19467s	second Navy caracal goes down now
19469s	they're looking at the Navy Drake of vld
19470s	they've still got the vigil for bonus
19472s	paints to help those Cruise applications
19473s	they've got the fleet video for webs as
19474s	well Odin's I mean this is going to be a
19477s	very very close match here the Raven of
19479s	the Paradigm is going to go down here
19480s	how how is this DPS race going to turn
19482s	out in the end I really have no idea to
19484s	be honest with you and it's cruises
19486s	versus mixed heads hmos I mean once
19488s	again I could just be reading that model
19489s	wrong but you saw it too they're gonna
19492s	go on to the strike Navy issue and the
19493s	Raven I mean he's tanking for quite a
19495s	bit it doesn't even look like he has a
19496s	shield booster actually he does have
19498s	Shield booster but just not an ancillary
19499s	Shield booster he will go down into uh
19502s	low armor trading for the Drake Navy
19504s	issue now they have to deal with the
19506s	raven and a scorpion Navy with a drake
19508s	Navy a Drake and a cyclone
19510s	they do but they've still got these
19512s	frigates here and it's up to tuskers to
19514s	say I mean for Odin's here I think the
19515s	target calling is pretty easy you just
19517s	say we clear as much DPS as quickly as
19518s	possible now we're looking at the Navy
19519s	ospread they can hit anything with these
19520s	Cruisers but tuskers have the difficult
19522s	decision to make here they say do we
19524s	commit you know 15 20 seconds killing
19526s	off the fleet vigil killing off the tech
19527s	one vigil in fact the tech one vigil of
19529s	Hodor is actually miles away across the
19530s	arena they can't really look at him
19531s	except with the heavy missiles that
19533s	requires splitting DPS but the vigil
19534s	Fleet of ethyl is going to go down here
19536s	but I mean they're taking chunks on
19538s	Christina and the Osprey Navy this is
19539s	still going to go to the wire
19542s	indeed it is toast brought and Raven I
19544s	mean he's got some cap transfers to help
19545s	him uh stay alive but with that Golem
19547s	down they have significant amount of
19549s	their tank off the field they're gonna
19550s	try to go for the Salisbury Navy as you
19552s	mentioned Christina now 65 kilometers
19554s	away from the arena center he is trying
19556s	to move away from these missile boats at
19559s	the moment he's not tackled down but
19560s	still cruise missiles they hit
19562s	everywhere in the arena and he is about
19564s	to dive into armor yeah and of course
19566s	the vigil's still got him painted as
19567s	well and with this Tinker setup that
19569s	Odin's have brought here the more DPS
19572s	they kill sort of the exponentially
19574s	longer it takes to deal to break through
19577s	this raven he's receiving cap transfers
19578s	as you saw his Angel Shield is going to
19580s	keep going they are going to take
19580s	another Salisbury Navy
19582s	um and eventually they'll get to a point
19583s	where it's going to take more time than
19585s	the match has left to deal with this
19587s	Raven and this sort of attritional comp
19590s	here from Odin's where I've taken clear
19592s	DPS they can actually sustain through
19593s	through a reasonable amount of DPS
19596s	whereas the tuskers at this point is
19598s	just pure ehp they have no attritional
19600s	power they either make enough progress
19602s	in time or they don't whereas the the
19604s	Odin's call comp sort of stalls things
19606s	out by they prove their chances they
19608s	store things out by killing off
19610s	um more and more DPS to the point where
19611s	they'll be able to tank and now the Navy
19612s	Drake the second one of mirror achieve
19614s	is going to go down here I think this is
19615s	looking Odin's cool favored but that
19617s	first Raven of toe Sprite is slowly
19618s	breaking can they kill Mira in time
19621s	I don't think they can toast product
19623s	he's inner armor mirror down to about 60
19626s	Shield remaining sorry 35 Shield
19628s	romantic 60 gone not a 24 but look toast
19631s	brought he's already in the structure
19633s	right now and he doesn't have a whole
19634s	lot of structure on this raven they're
19635s	gonna take out the strike Navy perhaps
19637s	but then it's a Drake and a cyclone
19639s	versus a scorpion Navy issue scorpion
19641s	naked very tanky ship we'll see he
19644s	doesn't have cap transfers to help him
19645s	stay alive though yeah that's the
19647s	problem when you're stuck in this
19648s	situation where you've only got one
19649s	Battleship these setups are obviously
19651s	built around having the cap transfers
19652s	between two battleships to try and keep
19654s	the ancill running when it's just him on
19655s	his own he's got his nine charges and
19657s	then that's it so it's still going to be
19659s	him he's probably gonna kill a strike
19661s	Navy but then he's going to be against
19662s	the Drake and the cyclone and of course
19664s	the flycatcher I I still don't really
19666s	know if he's going to be able to deal
19667s	with both of those they are going to be
19668s	buffer fit as you say there is a lot of
19669s	the HP on the Scorpion Navy I'm I'm
19671s	still questioning who's going to come
19672s	out on top here I don't really know
19674s	yokon about to get into half uh Shield
19677s	but he is taking down the strike Navy
19678s	issue then he's got a Drake and a
19680s	cyclone probably goes for the Cyclone
19681s	first I would have to imagine as he is
19683s	doing more damage right now with those
19684s	heavy assault missiles I still can't
19686s	believe they mix the weapon systems on
19688s	this comp that Drake Navy of Mira though
19690s	he is finally into structure 21
19692s	structure remaining he goes down the
19694s	Scorpion Navy might actually be able to
19695s	hold now but he has to take out the
19697s	cyclone and then the Drake in that order
19699s	if he goes for the Drake first it's a
19701s	huge mistake
19703s	yeah we'll see what she chooses I think
19704s	the target painter is on the Drake so
19706s	they are actually going to go for the
19707s	Drake first maybe they feel the Drake
19708s	has their CHP compared to the Cyclone
19710s	with his xlrsb charges but yokan's going
19713s	into 40 Shield her three and a half
19715s	minutes left on the match this is going
19717s	to be very very tight still I mean they
19718s	are yeah they are shooting toaster in
19719s	the Drake I'm not sure whether damage
19720s	has stopped was he reloading for a
19722s	second now he started firing those
19723s	cruises again this is crazy
19727s	Drake's an absolute brick he is taking
19729s	damage from the Scorpion Navy with no
19731s	reps with no anselor Shield booster I
19733s	think this actually might have been the
19734s	wrong call can contrary to what I said
19735s	even though Drake has a brick for aehp
19737s	cyclone has the active reps and should
19739s	be able to deal with this crew setup
19741s	from the Scorpion Navy issue the visual
19743s	taking a bit of damage at the moment as
19744s	well but keeps those paints on that
19746s	Drake yokan now into armor toaster in
19750s	the Drake only at 60 Shields I think
19753s	they might actually do it and take out
19754s	the Scorpion Navy issue yeah it's just
19757s	it just seems to be just enough damage
19758s	here and I'm really mourning my points
19760s	here 12 000 points down the drain thank
19762s	you very much Kyle I I would have
19764s	gambled on Odin's anyway to be honest I
19765s	believed and then we screamed with them
19766s	a lot but obviously very very
19767s	comfortable
19770s	he's ripping again oh my goodness and
19774s	he's still killing this Drake 50 Shield
19776s	are my points coming back to me
19778s	two and a half minutes left in the match
19780s	toasted her in the Drake down to 50
19782s	Shields remaining and yokon he's able to
19785s	Ansel rep all the way back up to half
19786s	Shields he's got nine reps in the Ansel
19789s	charges Heating and believing he got an
19791s	Ansel reload off through the armor I
19794s	can't believe what I'm seeing right now
19796s	yeah and this is really good play from
19797s	yokan as well Min maxing this xlisb
19800s	charges every time he Cycles he's
19802s	keeping his health at about 33 he's
19804s	maximizing that passive regen and when
19806s	he kills the Drake it's just gonna be
19807s	the cyclone and the Fly Catcher left
19808s	will they be able to bake through the
19809s	passive region of this scorpion Navy
19811s	issue oh my goodness
19813s	a minute 50 seconds remain in the match
19815s	toasted her in the Drake now diving into
19818s	armor this is going to be extremely
19820s	close because yokan he's out of
19821s	ancillary charges now he's just working
19823s	on just the cap from his ship onto the
19827s	Raptor he's into structure he goes down
19830s	now he has to go for the Cyclone his
19832s	caller now 83 points to 76 minute 30
19835s	remaining they have barely any Shield
19837s	health left on yokan but it's just a
19840s	cyclone left for uh tuskers can he
19843s	reload the xlasb does he even need to
19845s	here it's just the cyclone and the
19847s	flycatcher I think actually doubts the
19849s	wire Odin's are going to take this by
19850s	the points margin here yokan is still
19853s	just about cycling I don't think there's
19855s	enough damage here on the other side to
19856s	kill him what a fantastic match but
19858s	Odin's I'm I'm sure of it at this point
19860s	actually conversely to what I said
19861s	earlier Odin's are actually going to
19863s	take this and wow what a match what a
19865s	comp what a fight Drupal cruises
19868s	quadruple cruises you were saying hey
19871s	this might be a thing and I'm like ah
19873s	nah No One's Gonna spring quad
19874s	Battleship that's so many points on
19876s	battleships and you don't get anything
19877s	else not only did they bring a Golem
19880s	which is the most expensive not the most
19882s	expensive Battleship but the most
19883s	expensive uh for non-le-shack Battleship
19887s	non-balgor not special battleship in the
19889s	game but also
19892s	you're winning with just a scorpion Navy
19895s	left alive after all that is said and
19899s	done I cannot believe it Odin's call are
19901s	gonna go to the upper bracket finals and
19904s	face the winner of we form Volta and uh
19907s	lock range enjoyers it is and this is
19909s	absolutely fantastic and I look forward
19910s	I mean I said earlier day three is
19912s	always full of absolute bangers and this
19913s	match was no exception and I just want
19915s	to give another shout out again to yokan
19917s	here for optimizing those Shield reps
19918s	just to put his shield at the right
19920s	point for the maximum region I think
19921s	maximum Shield regen is like three times
19923s	as high as it is uh you know like 70 80
19926s	it's a really important fact when you've
19927s	got so much Shield HP and they are going
19929s	to do it here as time Runs Out
19930s	congratulations to Odin's locking in a
19933s	top three finish in Alliance tournament
19935s	18. we're gonna send it back to the
19936s	studio for some more analysis on that
19937s	one but wow what a match

20042s	call despite the curse despite the odds
20044s	have pulled it out with a big win over
20047s	the tuskers call in the most exciting
20050s	match that I've seen today like holy
20052s	crap that uh just everything I read that
20055s	match like I thought it was back and
20056s	forth back and forward he got that ASB
20058s	reload off just at the last minute you
20060s	were literally dancing around like
20062s	panicking that no one would ever talk to
20064s	you ever again for interviews
20068s	yeah I'd like to thank priest yokan for
20071s	exercising me
20075s	Blackboard pirate talk to me what
20076s	happened in that match so many things
20079s	um I think it was a well we heard it
20080s	with the commentaries uh basically
20083s	uh there was a combination of heavy
20086s	missiles and heavy assault missiles
20088s	there and then they just rammed the
20090s	entire fleet directly into it because I
20091s	think they recognized okay these four
20093s	ships are probably a tinker we need to
20094s	split them apart they actually kind of
20097s	sucked at bumping them apart even though
20098s	they had 10 people Ram which is why
20100s	everything lived for so long and then I
20103s	mean it just got whittled down like the
20104s	cruise missiles apply pretty well to uh
20107s	Shield battle Cruisers they play
20108s	decently well to the shield chips and
20110s	the big thing that kept happening was
20112s	Odin's calls vigil Fleet issue was left
20113s	alive for so long so they actually had
20116s	that extra application of the target
20117s	painters and the webs that let four
20120s	cruise missile battleships which
20122s	questionable I mean obviously it worked
20125s	but questionable still let them apply
20127s	ended up being a Navy scorpion basically
20130s	I won't say 1v1ning because there was a
20132s	vigil there and that definitely helped
20133s	but pretty much solo pvping down that
20136s	last four minutes yeah I'm also actually
20138s	told by some of our observers in the
20140s	system uh that the scorp Navy ran out of
20143s	missiles during that fight and actually
20144s	had to loot some from the wreck of his
20146s	teammate so that's why we might have
20148s	seen the damage drop off for a little
20149s	bit as he was looking for more missiles
20151s	that's how long that match went on like
20154s	oh absolutely incredible match great
20156s	performance Odin's calls securing
20157s	themselves third place at worst now so
20160s	they will go forward to face
20162s	um the winner of our next match Volta
20164s	versus lockrange enjoyers in the winners
20166s	bracket final uh the winner of that of
20168s	course going into the Grand Final and
20170s	the loser dropping down to the lower
20173s	bracket final so even if they lose twice
20176s	and they're coming up then they get
20177s	third place which is awesome that's a
20180s	whole bunch of ships we spoke about this
20181s	in our tier list and at the start of the
20183s	show Odin's have been a team on the
20185s	ascendancy for for quite some time uh
20187s	they're going to be of course super
20188s	happy with that and they should they
20190s	that absolutely deserve it from that
20191s	performance there the tusker is cool
20193s	we'll we'll be back they are not
20195s	eliminated they've just been dropped
20196s	down into the lower bracket they still
20198s	retain their Flagship crucially very
20201s	crucially so they'll be able to use that
20202s	in those lower bracket matches uh and
20204s	make make a difference now I'm told we
20207s	have an update to our graph and we can
20209s	throw to that uh Jen it's happened the
20212s	win rate after the Gin interview oh can
20214s	I get this oh no I can't
20216s	um as uh is no longer just a big fat
20218s	goose egg it's happened people will talk
20220s	to you next year you'll be very pleased
20221s	with that yeah and I imagine now thanks
20223s	to that you'll be happy for us to play
20224s	the voter interview after this right
20226s	absolutely not uh let's move on so let's
20229s	look at the bands for this upcoming uh
20231s	match
20235s	okay so we from Volta batting out the
20238s	abaddin the Magus and the pontifex Loch
20241s	ranging jar is banning at the Osprey
20242s	Navy the EOS and the Osprey uh
20245s	Blackberry pirate what do you make of
20246s	this
20247s	it's kind of strange uh we haven't
20249s	actually seen Locker engine joists
20250s	really doing anything with the bad ends
20252s	maguses or pontifexes so either Volta
20256s	knows something about them that none of
20258s	us including the people watching
20259s	analyzizing and commenting do or they're
20262s	trolling and Volta says we don't care we
20264s	know we can Crush you no matter what you
20266s	bring uh lock range enjoyers though
20268s	bring pretty classic uh the EOS band
20269s	very very standard at this point very
20271s	strong ship helps with drones helps with
20273s	armor and Osprey Navy and Osprey are
20275s	both like classically targeted at Volta
20278s	we've seen the Osprey Navy become this
20280s	incredible sort of multi-tool ship that
20282s	fits into so many different shield
20283s	setups and I think that a very very
20286s	smart choice on lock range enjoyers
20288s	yeah I'd like to see if we can put up
20290s	some of the pilots graphs of Volta and
20292s	lot ranging jars uh if we if we may
20297s	um I'm told that we are sorting that
20298s	right now until then
20300s	um let's do our little predictions
20301s	actually now so Blackberry pirate what
20304s	do you think uh we form Volta or Locker
20306s	engine doors I think we form Volta
20308s	definitely absolutely unequivocally
20310s	cannot possibly lose this because they
20312s	are just so so good can we mute his
20314s	microphone please
20316s	yeah I think I'm mostly going to go for
20318s	lock range enjoyers here uh you know
20319s	you've got a shout out to the homies
20321s	mute too please
20323s	um and clearly it's going to be uh
20325s	lockrange enjoyers um we are we have to
20327s	retain the Captain's Curse
20329s	we do have long range Players let's
20330s	throw them up on the screen and have a
20331s	look at that
20333s	so uh lock range enjoy is captained by
20335s	Damascus a very experienced tournament
20337s	pilot not only has he played 27 matches
20340s	in the last tournament itself he
20341s	captained a team in the Mario
20342s	championship and a number of teams in
20344s	things like the anger games and the
20346s	alliance open so uh very experienced
20348s	pilot um and really really cool dude uh
20350s	Canadian very very pleasant I went
20352s	climbing with him at Fan Fest nice guy a
20354s	bunch of other experienced Pilots as
20356s	well uh including Gorski car of course
20358s	former CSM and Tin Baron do we have the
20363s	uh Volta one of this we don't have the
20365s	Vault one of this well we're pretty much
20367s	almost ready to go to the arena
20369s	um I am hoping obviously for the Volta
20371s	Victory here
20372s	um that's my that's my boys
20374s	um
20375s	whatever part is your mic unmuted
20378s	yes
20380s	yes it is what can we what do you think
20383s	we can expect here like this is a very
20385s	interesting matchup between these two
20386s	teams Volta have been undefeated
20388s	obviously to have lock range enjoyers
20390s	we've seen both teams bring interesting
20391s	things uh Walter bringing that Flagship
20393s	Bargas a couple of times
20395s	what do you what do you maybe expect
20397s	here I think it's a it's going to be
20398s	interesting because I think Locker
20400s	Engineers has actually been playing sort
20402s	of their own game a little bit we've
20403s	been seeing this sort of like triple
20405s	executive Navy sword of a fly killer
20408s	range control maybe even octodad-ish
20411s	setup and nobody else is really doing
20413s	that so uh we'll see if voltage is like
20415s	figured out how to counter it because
20416s	block engine doors have been winning
20418s	very very well with it
20420s	and then you've also been doing a bunch
20421s	of analysis of what people are bringing
20423s	and things uh what are your thoughts I
20425s	know we've seen so many new comps today
20427s	that we haven't seen over the previous
20429s	weekend so that it's hard to really
20430s	understand what we should expect
20433s	um but I'm given voters banned it seems
20435s	like they are worried about sort of a
20437s	control setup coming out from uh this
20441s	Locker engine joyous team which is
20442s	surprising because we haven't seen that
20444s	brought yet
20446s	um I don't know I really don't know and
20448s	I'm excited to see what they do bring
20449s	well I mean let's go to Arena and find
20451s	out as we go for we from Volta versus
20454s	lockrange endures
20465s	welcome back to the arena looks like my
20467s	co-caster uh might be having some audio
20469s	issues right now so I'm solo casting for
20471s	the time being my name is here Vina the
20474s	Basilisk will be joining us eventually
20476s	uh this is gonna be fun lock range
20478s	enjoyers have decided to once again
20480s	bring some variation of Octodad uh that
20484s	is not Octodad but relies on Navy
20485s	Cruisers instead uh those being uh exact
20489s	navies and on the flip side Volta also
20493s	bringing some variation of Octodad
20495s	perhaps they've brought four battle
20497s	Cruisers instead of the three uh but
20500s	still having high projection Anis uh and
20503s	an auger for Reps for them as the Reps
20507s	for the side of lock range enjoyers are
20509s	also inaugural so very squishy not
20513s	really but still T1 reps uh not as much
20516s	as in or near us we are about to get
20517s	ready to go as a moderator I'm belief
20521s	has stepped in perhaps or maybe Baza is
20523s	back I'm not sure we are starting the
20525s	match Baza if you're here please say
20527s	something
20529s	yeah unfortunately it seems like bath is
20531s	having trouble oxidad is well in back
20534s	but just Cruisers and battle Cruisers
20536s	Edition augur of a ryload is taking a
20539s	good amount of damage not a lot of
20540s	tracking disruption really on grid and I
20543s	mean these long-range uh mid uh size
20547s	platforms are able to project quite far
20550s	yeah and we do see some tracking
20552s	disruptions go in the way of lock range
20553s	enjoyers uh we form Volta bringing those
20556s	in their mid slots while lock range
20558s	enjoyers it looks like have been
20559s	preferring the damps they are able to
20560s	take Planet Six also known as reload off
20562s	the table though so Volta without their
20564s	lodgy off the start of the match
20567s	yeah that's pretty disastrous for Volta
20570s	you would expect them to get some damage
20571s	or something in return but an auger down
20574s	that is the worst possible outcome right
20576s	now
20577s	um volt is losing an executive Navy
20578s	issue Tim Baron is being primaried in
20581s	his auger but he's burning away uh the
20584s	hyena of tick-tock has gotten on top of
20585s	him and Tin will eventually drop
20588s	um e-box in his exec Navy is
20591s	doing a good job of getting on top of
20592s	tin Baron enforcing The Kill
20595s	and they keep on uh trying to take down
20599s	that auger they finally do a box in the
20602s	exact Navy trying to pull range at the
20604s	moment uh is down to 14 armor but hasn't
20607s	really taken a whole lot now just kind
20609s	of getting plinked at and they are
20611s	swapping over to Melinda in this
20612s	harbringer but eibach's now into
20614s	structure barely surviving they might
20616s	get another good couple of shots and put
20618s	striker in the opposite exact Navy is
20621s	going down fast
20623s	yeah I mean they're gonna trade again
20624s	but I mean right now it seems like the
20627s	DPS race is you know fairly even right
20631s	now but look at the jams from the
20632s	Blackbirds um onto we formed Volta
20635s	um that's going to be really the key
20637s	here is are those jams actually
20638s	effective I mean maybe not because Mr
20641s	Rambo uh in his exec Navy is down at the
20644s	hall and drops uh meanwhile Melinda is
20646s	the primary for Locker engine joyers and
20648s	uh
20650s	being held down but not quite
20654s	yeah not quite being held down I mean we
20657s	see there is a web onto Xiao Yi in the
20660s	Navy harbringer and a web on to Annie in
20663s	the native birdex as Harvey though he's
20665s	only being scrammed so uh doesn't have a
20668s	web on top of him but no prop mod as
20670s	there is some damage now going on in
20672s	this Blackbird of Jamal uh we saw
20674s	blackbirds being used to some effect
20675s	earlier in the tournament there's still
20677s	more damage being put onto xiaoi so they
20678s	will trade a Harbinger for harboring our
20680s	Navy perhaps Volta still in the lead so
20683s	far in this fight uh as soon as they
20686s	take down shall we
20689s	yeah I feel like Volta is actually
20691s	starting to run away with this now even
20692s	though they started on the back foot
20693s	with rylo going down first I mean look
20696s	at what Volta has left they've got two
20698s	OG navies a hurricane Fleet issue and
20700s	brutics and a harboring for damage
20702s	meanwhile lock range has just two
20704s	command ships not good
20707s	no it's not good at all Absolution in a
20710s	star day I mean we see these Navy battle
20712s	Cruisers pulling their weight the
20713s	spirit's Navy issue of antidote is
20715s	tackled and they are now down to half
20718s	armor remaining these blackbirds doing
20720s	some work there's a whole lot of damage
20722s	coming out from we form Volta at the
20724s	moment although this Absolution now down
20726s	in half armor just as I'm saying that
20729s	you have the Absolution down into half
20731s	armor they're trading out for the brutix
20733s	Navy issue of antigr debt but just
20734s	looking at the DPS bars right now reform
20737s	Volta is solidly winning the trade right
20739s	now
20739s	um blue morpheme and mass Cadets are
20741s	going to go down before any guard that
20743s	does once it happens it's only going to
20745s	be grunt versus world and Volta in a
20748s	commanding position
20751s	take down the Blackbird now taking down
20753s	the Absolution there's one Blackbird
20754s	left of Jamal Annie gardetto into
20756s	structure 50 structure remaining but you
20758s	got a hurricane Fleet issue a hard Navy
20760s	and all girl Navy and another ini on top
20763s	of that they're gonna go for granting
20764s	the estar day now and that is pretty
20766s	much all she wrote We form Volta going
20768s	back up and getting top three once again
20771s	they will be in the winners bracket
20773s	finals tomorrow
20776s	yeah that'll be an exhilarating match uh
20778s	lock range enjoyers getting knocked down
20780s	we haven't seen the last of them they
20783s	will have to play uh truth on light in
20785s	the lower bracket uh not an enviable
20788s	position uh to be in uh meanwhile uh
20791s	voltage is continuing to churn through
20793s	the remaining armor of grunt Cato he's
20795s	doing his best to Hero rep but I mean
20797s	it's not going to be enough against two
20799s	faction Cruisers and uh two faction
20801s	battle Cruisers
20803s	and yeah not not nearly enough damage I
20807s	think uh pseudo Octodad is now what
20810s	we're calling this one because it's not
20812s	eight battle Cruisers but it's pretty
20814s	dying close with these Navy Cruisers and
20816s	we form Volta uh coming up with the
20818s	better version of that setup against the
20820s	team that has constantly been bringing
20821s	it
20822s	and just has been waiting for the right
20824s	moment to use it they will trade control
20826s	Fleek for this astarde but it's just a
20828s	black bird it carries in the Confessor
20829s	which do pitiful damage compared
20832s	two we're from Volta
20836s	yeah unfortunately I'm in pink lock
20838s	range enjoy is choking slightly more
20840s	than my co-host uh as major Jenkins uh
20844s	goes down leave the control freak live
20846s	just in a sliver of whole but uh no
20850s	damage left the attack bar for lock
20851s	range has gone to zero just like their
20854s	lifespan in this upper bracket
20856s	absolutely no attack and uh they will go
20859s	down to the lower bracket they are going
20861s	to face truth on her light not a matchup
20864s	you really want to get uh necessarily
20866s	truth honor light kind of uh absolutely
20869s	demolishing templates we are going to
20870s	send it back to the desk though to bring
20872s	us into the final two matches of the day
20874s	don't go anywhere we will be right back
20892s	[Music]
20895s	thank you
20899s	I remember
20917s	[Music]
20921s	foreign
20943s	[Music]
20953s	thank you
20956s	we form Volta there taking the victory
20958s	over lock range enjoyers as we of course
20961s	knew they would now Jin tan uh super
20964s	interesting setups there from both teams
20966s	at almost a mirror match a little bit of
20968s	difference one side bringing a bunch
20970s	more battle Crews the other side I'd
20971s	like him to bring the command ships but
20974s	also blackbirds we heard fear referred
20976s	to it as the pseudo Octodad what is the
20978s	oxidation why is that not the name of
20980s	this comp
20981s	um so the Octodad all traces its lineage
20983s	back to Alliance tournament 15 where we
20986s	didn't have any limits for the amount of
20988s	classes of ship you could bring for
20990s	those of you unaware you could only
20991s	bring four of one type such as four
20994s	Cruisers or four battle Cruisers
20997s	um and currently
20999s	uh
21001s	um and this is effectively trying to do
21002s	the same thing that that was doing which
21004s	is just abusing medium guns medium
21006s	turrets and later on medium missiles but
21009s	that was a specific medical
21012s	um what you're trying to what you're
21013s	trying to do is just be able to project
21015s	DPS all the way across the arena you
21018s	know um medium guns have the best kind
21020s	of
21021s	uh
21023s	cross between tracking and ability to
21025s	apply to Long ranges you can hit up to
21026s	70 80 kilometers with some of these
21028s	ships and they still do a tremendous
21029s	amount of damage when they get up close
21031s	and personal
21032s	speaking of tracking Bart can you just
21034s	take us through this I can we have a
21036s	Mauler getting shot at by a hurricane
21038s	and going fast but not fast enough so it
21042s	gets blown up however when you get a
21043s	smaller ship or a faster ship the guns
21046s	can't uh turn as much according to the
21048s	calculations to actually hit the target
21050s	this can also be based off of things
21052s	like signature radius uh so like when
21055s	you're micro warp driving your ship is
21057s	considered bigger by The Game and
21058s	therefore is hit easier and also range
21061s	the farther away you are you know the I
21063s	guess slower your ship moves and
21065s	relative speed to your target so like
21067s	ginton said about the medium guns they
21069s	have very very good tracking
21071s	um from a massive distance of range so
21074s	they pretty much can hit anything
21075s	assuming the piloting is pretty well I
21077s	think we saw some slept nears that were
21078s	hitting things that they probably
21079s	shouldn't have been able to do too good
21081s	piloting earlier today
21083s	and Jen do you think that uh lock range
21085s	enjoyers could have done something
21086s	different in that match to maybe pull
21088s	out a victory over we from Volta
21091s	um no it's always going to be very
21092s	difficult for them just because of the
21094s	construction of that composition
21096s	um
21097s	uh Volta was able to kind of spread out
21099s	they were and still be able to actually
21102s	project damage onto those black birds
21103s	onto those control ships from their uh
21106s	from the lock range enjoyer's side with
21108s	relative ease I think the only thing
21110s	they could have done is maybe use those
21111s	command ships a bit more effectively I
21113s	don't know if they had tackle modules
21115s	fit um but if they did if they could
21116s	have maybe held them together or pinned
21119s	them in closer at the start of the fight
21120s	pushed them towards a corner uh maybe
21123s	that could have worked but it was always
21124s	going to be quite an uphill battle it
21126s	was kind of one of those things that was
21127s	lost a little bit of pick and bans from
21129s	my opinion and Bart with those
21131s	blackbirds instead of more DPS ships
21134s	um and do you agree with that choice do
21137s	you think that they'd been better off
21138s	just taking more straight up DPS ships
21140s	in this case uh I I like their setup
21143s	um I think that uh jyn is right in that
21145s	so while you're jammed obviously you
21147s	can't lock anything besides the
21148s	Blackbird so you keep the Blackbirds far
21150s	away and then if like Jen said he pushed
21152s	the command ships in super close use
21154s	that Medium gun close range of ammo
21156s	um that might have been sort of the big
21158s	difference here because I feel that uh
21160s	it was kind of like a skirmish from like
21162s	a bit of range and
21164s	if you have jams you know that you have
21165s	like the faster you get stuff down the
21167s	more effective they are just because
21168s	then there's less ships you you can
21170s	start doubling up tripling up on the
21171s	same ships there and I think that they
21173s	just had to be a little more aggressive
21174s	in that case
21176s	um it looked like they were starting off
21177s	really really well but then it just kind
21178s	of Volta slowly cut up just because
21181s	seven chips is a lot of damage and four
21182s	is not as much yeah uh reload AKA Planet
21186s	sex AKA new Eden's finest Logistics
21188s	speed bump went down fairly quickly at
21190s	the start uh and there was a small
21192s	amount of worry from my my perspective
21194s	but then that was uh quickly quashed by
21196s	the uh the great performance of the
21198s	Volta team there I'm very proud of you
21200s	guys
21201s	um let's have a look at the bands for
21203s	our upcoming match which is going to be
21204s	the telstra's court versus platinum
21205s	sensitivity so uh tuskers choosing to
21208s	ban at the Scimitar the Basilisk and the
21210s	jackdaw whereas Platinum sensitivity
21212s	Banning out the EOS the jackdot and the
21214s	hyena because they both banned out the
21215s	jackdaw we have some trickle bands and
21217s	uh Tesco's Banning a deacon with
21219s	Platinum sensitivity Banning out the
21220s	Osprey jintan what do you make of these
21222s	bands here
21224s	um well obviously the taskers don't want
21225s	to face a shield kite setup Banning out
21227s	the Scimitar and the Basilisk uh those
21230s	are very very key ships to that setup
21232s	normally we just think of that as being
21234s	a scimitar comp but we did see another
21236s	team I can't remember which one off the
21237s	top of my head use a basilisk kite set
21240s	up fairly effectively earlier today
21242s	um does make me wonder what they're
21243s	bringing though that is so vulnerable to
21245s	a kite setup perhaps some sort of double
21248s	or triple Battleship control setup
21250s	yeah it's very interesting that they're
21252s	running at that Osprey as well it's not
21253s	the Super not a super common band so
21255s	we'll see how that goes for them uh
21256s	we're looking at it the tuskers uh Team
21259s	over the over the years so 55 Pilots
21261s	have flown from them electronicus being
21263s	one of their most senior uh along up
21265s	there along with Suleiman sure uh the
21268s	tuskers executor and CEO they've been a
21271s	very successful uh Alliance over the
21273s	years they first competed in fact as the
21274s	tusker bastards uh back in the day
21276s	before they went independent and uh that
21278s	led to them winning a live stream at 14
21280s	uh in a solid Victory against pandemic
21282s	Legion
21284s	um they have not been as successful over
21287s	the last couple years but you can see
21288s	there they won a whole bunch of
21289s	difficult matches against uh good teams
21291s	and this year we're seeing them perform
21293s	super super well Platinum sensitivity as
21296s	as we've seen before a bit of a smaller
21298s	team core 15 people have flown for them
21300s	uh but again a whole bunch of veterans
21302s	Mark Bridges there with 10 matches
21304s	played in nightcap with 17. uh they've
21307s	also been quite a successful team
21308s	winning more than they've lost which is
21309s	always good you get more practice says
21311s	you get better and only dropping this
21313s	time against nanofiber tokens and Volta
21315s	which is a you know pretty respectful
21317s	run thus far
21320s	um Volta of course will join Odin's call
21322s	in the witness bracket final at some
21325s	point later tomorrow uh where they also
21327s	guarantee themselves no worse than third
21329s	place uh the Tasker is called Platinum
21332s	sensitivity this is a elimination match
21334s	so these teams are now fighting not to
21336s	be eliminated from the tournament
21338s	do you think we might start to see We're
21340s	not gonna see a flagship from Platinum
21341s	sensitivity because it's dead but do you
21343s	might think do you think we might see
21344s	one from the tuskers here I mean I hope
21346s	so like you would always hope that you
21348s	know they've that's their their you know
21349s	their secret sauce their linchpin
21351s	whatever you want to use and I would
21353s	hope that they'd bring it out um it
21355s	maybe won't happen depending on uh how
21358s	much respect there is I think we did in
21360s	fact see Volta has been not bringing it
21362s	and not needing it because they think
21364s	that you know a lot of times if you
21365s	think that
21366s	we don't need it to win maybe you're not
21368s	going to just in case something weird
21370s	happens like we saw a stork decide to
21372s	boundary earlier that almost cost a
21374s	match and what if you do that in your
21375s	Flagship like a pandemic Legion pilot so
21378s	you never know you got to be super
21379s	careful at this um I don't
21382s	I don't know if the flagship Choice here
21384s	will matter as much because it seems
21387s	that Platinum sensitivity
21389s	kind of has been bringing the same thing
21390s	over and over again and I think that
21392s	that's a lot more like figuring out how
21394s	to beat that is probably more important
21396s	than being like Oh yes we'll save our
21398s	Flagship though so we'll see what
21399s	happens Jim what do you think about the
21401s	choice of a bar guest and a Vindicator
21404s	as flag hits from these two teams like
21406s	they clearly have a different
21406s	understanding of the meta and what they
21408s	want to do with their flagships The
21410s	Vindicator usually doesn't scale as much
21412s	as ships like the bar guest so you have
21414s	any thoughts on this
21416s	um yeah I think it just generally
21417s	depends on what you're trying to do with
21419s	your Flagship you know the fin uh the
21421s	flagship Vindicator especially when it's
21422s	as expensive as The Vindicator that
21425s	Platinum sensitivity lost does open up a
21428s	lot of unique power especially if you
21430s	expect it to come down to some kind of
21432s	armor control mirrors uh the 90 the 90
21435s	plus percent webs that they can uh shoot
21438s	out to like 22 24 kilometers with boosts
21442s	and officer webs is just so so potent it
21444s	allows you to get in there grab a
21446s	logistics forget and just remove it from
21448s	the grid with without you know Nary a
21450s	problem whereas a T2 fit Vindicator
21453s	wouldn't be able to achieve that whereas
21455s	a bar guest itself is it's just a better
21458s	version of a regular bar guest it
21459s	doesn't offer that a different way of
21462s	doing things that said we have seen this
21464s	bug SB flow very very effectively by
21466s	teams previously it gives you such a
21468s	wide wide catch radius all you need to
21471s	do is have one ship you know forget that
21473s	the bar guest is a flagship and then
21474s	it's caught and then it dies and that
21476s	can turn an entire match yeah we
21478s	speaking of that actually we saw vld
21480s	from the tuskers flying his bar gas as
21483s	Flagship bar gas to great effect against
21485s	truth on a light earlier on in a super
21488s	exciting match uh so if you guys had
21490s	haven't seen that one make sure you go
21492s	back and watch it when the vods become
21493s	available but
21495s	um have you had any like favorite
21497s	matches today this has been such an
21498s	insane day with Incredible matches I
21501s	really liked uh we've had a couple ones
21503s	that have come down like to that last
21504s	wire I mean I love the Odin's call match
21506s	that was awesome like
21507s	literally you didn't know where it was
21510s	going to go until maybe the last minute
21511s	and not in a way where you're like well
21513s	they could come back it's like no you
21514s	actually did not know which way this is
21516s	going to go uh the truth honor light
21518s	match versus tuskers was awesome
21520s	um just because I was talking about it
21522s	earlier and the last time the tuskers
21524s	fought them when they were under Hydra
21526s	they actually did the same kind of like
21528s	we're gonna met a super hard
21530s	specifically against this team this time
21532s	it worked last time it didn't so that
21533s	was really cool liked both of those and
21535s	uh
21536s	yeah those are my two highlights so far
21537s	I'm a big fan of the reverse tie-dye
21540s	match as well uh it's been so many years
21542s	I was talking with CP Swift and we we
21544s	couldn't figure out exactly when it last
21546s	was and I think gentan you suggested it
21548s	was probably when we had uh the bomber
21550s	Tinker year uh it was probably when it
21552s	last was there let's have our quick
21554s	predictions uh before we head over to
21555s	the arena Blackboard pirate who do we
21557s	think between Telstra school and
21558s	platinum Sensitivity I think I'm gonna
21560s	go with two screws this time
21561s	engine 10. uh I've got I've got hope for
21564s	my boy Mark Bridges you know Misty's not
21567s	on the desk so I've got to sing his
21568s	Praises for him well I mean after the
21571s	way we saw vld fly that Flagship Burgers
21573s	later on I'm gonna have to put my
21574s	channel points behind the Tasker school
21575s	but let's head over to the unit and find
21577s	out let's go
21583s	welcome back to the arena my name is
21585s	Tirana I'm by moderator and are into our
21589s	final two elimination matches of the day
21592s	winner of this will be top four and go
21596s	into the lower bracket semifinals
21597s	starting off tomorrow's stream on the
21600s	red side it is the tuskers once again
21602s	Fielding their Flagship Burgess comp uh
21605s	with a Nighthawk at Claymore and uh and
21608s	auger which means uh they are playing
21610s	can't touch this with the mids
21614s	yeah and they might have gotten that
21617s	right it's going to be difficult for
21618s	platinum sensitivity with what they've
21620s	brought to really get any sort of tackle
21622s	on the auger
21623s	um we see that the Deacon band may be
21626s	actually fairly effective here as uh we
21629s	now see that
21630s	there are two thalias being forced to be
21633s	brought by a platinum sensitivity so
21635s	it's going to cost a bit more points and
21638s	um volley is not quite as tanky as a
21640s	deacon
21641s	yep and as I have liked to call this
21645s	competence hammer time from The tuskers
21647s	Shield ships fit with armor and all the
21650s	e-war mids Platinum sensitivity they got
21653s	their work cut out for them but they do
21654s	have a widow which has been very useful
21656s	for them through their lower bracket run
21658s	Mark Bridges and The Vindicator has been
21660s	able to bait people uh in previous
21662s	matches but tuskers are a different
21664s	breed and they want to continue some at
21667s	success that they've perhaps been
21669s	locking the last couple years moving
21671s	into this meanwhile Platinum sensitivity
21673s	I just want to make it into the top four
21676s	yeah this is going to be you know an
21679s	incredibly Deep Run for platinum
21680s	sensitivity and uh better than they've
21684s	done in the past that they're you know
21685s	relatively new up and coming uh Team
21689s	Japanese uh Community
21692s	um going deeper than they've ever really
21694s	done before deeper than some of the
21696s	other International communities like say
21698s	the German or Russian teams
21701s	and I think this is really the time for
21703s	toskers like you were discussing
21705s	to bring their uh bar guest it did well
21708s	against Hydra I think it will do well
21710s	against this armor comp of platinum
21711s	sensitivity
21713s	a dozen we'll get to see another flag
21715s	bar guest kill and see how
21717s	to uh this flag Bargas is from tuskers
21720s	I'm expecting uh some very blingy
21723s	modules some purple launchers uh among
21725s	others so the match is now underway and
21728s	both teams starting to cut a little bit
21730s	but Platinum sensitivity is going to be
21732s	the one that's burning in towards the
21734s	tuskers as the bar guest five bar
21736s	against the vld will say in the front of
21738s	his team players front line as he is the
21740s	slowest of his team ships
21742s	yeah we're starting to see the e-ore get
21745s	applied to The Vindicator and the
21746s	abandoned tracking guidance to the Widow
21748s	and to the Nighthawk into the bargift
21750s	that makes a lot of sense given that we
21752s	see the Moa and uh the stork The Shield
21755s	you know ships being brought into an
21757s	armor comp using mids for e-war here uh
21760s	at the low Point cost the megas will be
21762s	primary to try to get rid of any sort of
21764s	links off the Jump
21767s	but the links are staying alive for the
21769s	time being this Magus got dual Thalia
21772s	reps
21773s	extra points on the Dual Thunder two
21775s	extra points having to uh move into that
21778s	uh armor MOA which will be fairly
21780s	squishy with a number of low slots it
21782s	has it is now being primaried and should
21784s	be able to be taken off the field pretty
21786s	quickly by this rapid heavy bar guest
21789s	yeah Randall Sykes is taking some damage
21792s	uh in his control from drones but the
21794s	real story here is the Moa
21796s	um is taking all of the missile damage
21798s	and it's only got a four slot tank
21801s	um in those low slots and
21804s	I the Bargas still has enough rapid
21806s	Heavies it might break through it
21808s	between that and the Claymore Nighthawk
21810s	yeah a little bizarre now down in to 20
21814s	armor remaining and he is getting broken
21816s	through these revs but now a visual
21818s	Fleet issue of Stew getting some drone
21820s	damage on top of it as well I mean this
21822s	kite set up from the tuskers they used
21824s	it to some effect uh earlier well as you
21827s	mentioned up against truth on her light
21828s	knock them down in lower bracket uh
21831s	Platinum sensitivity though they brought
21832s	a brawl to a kite game and they still
21834s	haven't lost any ships this mode is
21836s	actually now repping up through I think
21838s	the clip ran out for vld
21842s	um just looking at vlv morome uh Vargas
21845s	continuing to apply missiles but
21847s	probably not for too much longer
21849s	um some damage going on to the Thalia of
21851s	FNG and and MOA should get fully wrapped
21856s	up here in the meantime while the bar
21858s	guest is on that 40 second clip
21862s	no blood in the first two minutes of the
21866s	match
21867s	and uh Platinum sensitivity they just
21869s	need one kill we'll see if they can get
21871s	it this Mega savosot will be at least
21873s	the primary for the Claymore and the
21875s	Nighthawk and the other HML ships on the
21877s	team while the bar guest is reloading
21879s	how's that taking low but now a lot of
21882s	these missiles not hitting their marks
21887s	yeah I mean that's just going to be the
21889s	effect of guidance disruption is it not
21892s	only makes your missiles um less
21894s	effective when they do hit it also
21896s	shortens the flight time such that
21898s	um it makes your Missile Range
21901s	significantly shorter uh much like how
21903s	tracking disruption makes your optimal
21906s	worse but it can also make your tracking
21909s	speed even more so you don't even hit it
21911s	um
21912s	right now we're just seeing that Mark
21914s	Bridges team but the Vindicator is
21916s	trying to go
21917s	um a little bit above the tasker's cow
21921s	now they are staying within range of
21923s	their logic frigates and they are or no
21925s	laundry focus of their auger and they're
21927s	keeping them alive now the Magus is the
21929s	primary from the testers they've hit the
21931s	reload on the bar guest and they're
21933s	gonna try to take this links off the
21934s	field get the long or get the web links
21936s	away from that Vindicator because that
21938s	is so important uh The Vindicator did
21941s	get actually drive by webbed earlier by
21942s	the vigil Fleet of Stu Miner who stayed
21945s	alive osato will be able to rep through
21947s	this HML damage which don't really apply
21949s	all that well to armor uh destroyers and
21952s	now looks like this abaddin might be the
21955s	target from uh the tuscars
21958s	yeah that a badon
21961s	um is going to be kind of leading the
21963s	charge right now along with the
21965s	Vindicator The Vindicator we do see long
21967s	range webs that's going to be Randolph
21968s	Sykes doing drive-bys in the crew or on
21971s	the crew we don't really think of it you
21973s	know in the same way as a high note but
21974s	it is still
21975s	um that bonus rain ship and then it's
21978s	you know just pulling away
21980s	um when it realizes it might be in
21982s	Danger trying to buy time as the mo is
21985s	still back into low armor
21988s	we'll see if they'll be able to take out
21989s	little bizarre you only need to kill one
21991s	ship uh to win if no other ships die
21995s	and we'll see if tuskers are able to do
21997s	that they do so they finally kill
21998s	someone with that rapid heavy clip of
22000s	vld but still lots of action and by
22004s	action I mean lots of poking and
22005s	prodding but no deaths quite yet this
22007s	Pawn effects uh got a good chunk of a
22010s	shield taken out of him but not a whole
22012s	lot left uh from Platinum sensitivity in
22015s	terms of damage on top of them
22017s	yep we can see these scrams flickering
22020s	off and on of the Baton and Vindicator
22022s	at times that's going to be the bonus
22024s	scram from vld murome
22026s	um one of the benefits of that Flagship
22029s	is that you get those officer or high
22031s	tier faction scrams and heated you have
22033s	no trouble with links hitting close to
22035s	40 kilometers
22037s	yep Skirmish links on that Claymore
22040s	very very nice to have when you have a
22043s	bar guest either way some more damage
22045s	going on with us make us of osat some
22047s	damage onto heinkel and the abaddin as
22049s	well split DPS but I was sat now going
22052s	into low armor and he's finally taken
22053s	off the field so
22055s	links off the field from Platinum
22058s	sensitivity this is dire for them now
22061s	yeah they still have ayaka aruta's um
22064s	pontifex but you know who knows how they
22066s	distributed the links between the two
22068s	um when those links do eventually wear
22071s	off in the next minute or so it's going
22072s	to make the Pont effects and the belly
22074s	is just that much easier to kill and
22076s	speaking of easy to kill the sky breaker
22077s	if NYX goes down
22079s	one more kill in the tusker's cap they
22082s	still haven't lost anyone as their e-war
22084s	mids have just been so effective and
22086s	their kiting has been so effective they
22088s	haven't been caught at all on any of
22090s	these ships this bar guest of vld doing
22093s	the screen that he needs to do to make
22095s	sure the rest of his team can stay away
22097s	from the Platinum sensitivity
22101s	this is almost comical from veal di
22103s	morome he's just like holding out his
22104s	arm with the scram against this
22107s	Vindicator of Mark Bridges just holding
22109s	him away being like haha you can't touch
22112s	me it really is Hammer Time the pontifex
22115s	is trying to close range get on top of
22117s	something uh but it looks like he's now
22120s	been webbed by the crew of either Stu
22123s	minor or the
22124s	leadership
22127s	yep now the pawn effects very slow can't
22130s	get away he's got info Links at the very
22132s	least but uh info links are only so
22135s	useful when you have a ship that needs
22138s	web range it's got damaged drones now on
22140s	top of them uh you see the Drone Cloud
22142s	now swarming as uh nosuko and the
22145s	crucifier is taking damage from I
22146s	believe hmls at the moment no that was
22148s	drone Cloud as well and both the pot
22150s	effects and the uh what was that the
22154s	crucifier got taken down very quickly
22158s	and I almost hate to say this for
22160s	platinum sensitivity it's just that
22161s	they're uh their attack bar has been
22163s	close to nil the entire match and now
22166s	that um all these other support ships
22168s	have dropped tuskers is able to
22170s	concentrate all of their e-war uh mid
22173s	slots and those Target painters that NOS
22176s	onto all of platinum sensitivity and
22178s	it's snowballing look how fast Le
22180s	quartus in the Widow is dropping with no
22183s	links the thalias just can't keep up
22185s	yeah Kent larkis I mean he's in a widow
22188s	not a super tanky ship if you uh fit it
22190s	with armor yeah you got Shield resist
22191s	bonuses but that's not really helpful
22193s	he's now in to structure and should end
22195s	up falling it's all but over and the
22198s	tuskers co will move on to be a top four
22200s	team playing tomorrow sorry a top uh six
22205s	team top four top four team uh playing
22208s	tomorrow
22210s	yeah I mean you're surviving to the
22213s	final day that's always kind of the goal
22215s	tuskers
22216s	um
22217s	in recent memory they've had somewhat
22220s	unfortunate bracket positions they've
22222s	lost some of their team members uh to
22225s	hydro reloaded or just to inactivity and
22228s	now they're really coming back into the
22230s	form that they were at in Alliance
22233s	tournament 14 when they beat pandemic
22236s	lesion to you'd win that for the first
22238s	time ever and really showing that they
22240s	do truly belong with the elites of the
22242s	elite
22243s	and they will face the winner of lock
22245s	range enjoyers versus truth honor light
22247s	lock range enjoyers the winner of last
22248s	year or of this year's anger games truth
22251s	honor light the winner of last year's a
22253s	t that's going to be an exciting match
22255s	hopefully we're gonna have Baza back on
22257s	in time for that he is fixing some tough
22259s	and hold difficulties that are
22261s	preventing him from joining we have a
22262s	minute left in this match moderator
22263s	anything else you'd like to say
22267s	yeah
22268s	um I like Mark Bridges he's a good guy
22270s	I'm glad to see that they
22272s	um made as deep a run as they did I
22274s	won't take anything away from a top six
22276s	performance that's better than I think
22278s	um
22279s	anyone when we were doing these
22282s	prediction shows thought they would do
22283s	uh right now both teams good fighting
22285s	and local as only the abaddin and
22288s	Vindicator remain on grid for platinum
22291s	yep yeah two battleships but uh I mean
22295s	they've just been kept at arm's length
22296s	unless you were makes them and if they
22298s	are not at Arts length uh pretty much
22302s	useless 20 seconds left in the match now
22304s	and GFS have already been called in
22306s	local I mean it's a nice run for
22308s	platinum sensitivity uh constantly
22310s	getting better and better as tournament
22311s	season progresses we saw them in ag as
22314s	cutting a niche on actually make a
22315s	pretty deep run there as well so I'm
22318s	excited to see what else comes from the
22320s	steam what else comes from the Japanese
22321s	Community as uh they are a very small
22324s	number of players for Eve online
22327s	yeah and coming in top six again they
22330s	will get eight of each the Gary and the
22332s	Bestia the prize ship from the minmatar
22335s	Republic who's sponsoring this event
22337s	um but that's all for myself and fears
22340s	we send it back to the desk
22357s	[Music]
22361s	[Applause]
22365s	guys stop being casual they're really
22367s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
22370s	warp off take the fleet warp everybody
22372s	warp off this is a really really bad
22374s	execution I'm very disappointed
22379s	another great hall back from Amar damn
22382s	I'm thirsty
22388s	that hits the spot
22401s	uh yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
22404s	collectively uh so that's why that
22406s	Alliance logo is in the game of course
22408s	you could change your alliance by
22409s	leaving but that would be kind of a jerk
22411s	move that kind of oh you don't like it
22413s	now sucks I'm gonna go join
22430s	the tuskers coat with the solid victory
22432s	over uh Platinum sensitivity in a very
22435s	hard fault match in order to pull out
22437s	Victory out I do think that if uh
22439s	Platinum sensitivity had that Flagship
22441s	Vindicator it would have been maybe
22442s	something that made the difference we
22444s	saw we went almost five minutes with
22445s	only only one ship going down just a
22448s	match all about positioning and control
22450s	and just waiting till the right moment
22451s	to strike as a unit rather than you know
22453s	sort of just running in or running out
22455s	of the Arena very very uh top end
22458s	piloting from from all those players uh
22460s	black part pirate we noticed that the
22462s	crew and the visual Fleet issue seem to
22464s	be driving in
22465s	hitting with a web and then getting out
22466s	of there what's going on uh yeah so they
22468s	were they were going into slow the ships
22470s	down um specifically they would fly in
22473s	and put a web on it and then the target
22474s	painters would swap from tuscars onto
22477s	the Target that was recently webbed and
22478s	then they try and blow it up and uh it's
22480s	pretty dangerous move to do especially
22482s	when you're in a setup like tuskers was
22484s	which is a very slow burn setup and by
22488s	doing so you slow your target down
22490s	enough that your missiles start applying
22491s	a lot harder um I think genton made a
22494s	comment you slow down Eve way faster
22496s	than you speed up most of the time so
22497s	just coming in and webbing for a couple
22499s	seconds and then flying away with those
22500s	uh longer range bonus webs which like we
22503s	see on occur which I think that's the
22505s	first time we've seen one it can be
22506s	really effective and sort of to uh to go
22509s	off that I think you're right if they
22511s	had had the flagship Vindicator there's
22513s	a few times where I saw the vigil Fleet
22514s	issue get within about 20 to 15 of The
22517s	Vindicator
22518s	would have been able to grab it with
22520s	those 90 webs because they didn't it was
22522s	safe to just be an amazing pilot and not
22524s	have to worry about any of the uh maybe
22526s	slightly more toxic mechanics of you
22527s	online
22528s	Jen why don't we see more occurs it's
22531s	very unusual ship in the last tournament
22533s	um yeah we've only ever really seen them
22535s	used heavily when they've been
22536s	discounted in points uh they are
22538s	relatively effective they have a lot of
22541s	uh things that we normally do quite
22542s	value quite heavily in the alliance
22544s	tournament obviously they have a web
22545s	range bonus they have a neutralizer
22547s	bonus the problem is really just where
22549s	they sit at in terms of points they are
22551s	four points so that's the same cost as
22553s	an assault frigate which can do much the
22556s	same sort of role of tackling something
22558s	or holding something down but we're in a
22561s	more durable shell and with
22564s	um and in a way that's easier to
22566s	actually use you know it doesn't take as
22568s	much skill to fly a Jaguar hit approach
22570s	F1 scram web and then slam on that ADC a
22574s	second you get shot flying a crew or
22576s	normally requires a lot of skill and it
22577s	requires a very careful setup around it
22580s	you know you need your Logistics to
22582s	really be on the ball to have you know
22584s	three four small reps so that you can
22585s	keep your tiny little buffer topped up
22588s	whilst you're going in and using those
22590s	Maneuvers uh it's something that we'll
22593s	probably see used a little more as we
22595s	get to this end game especially if this
22596s	tuskers comp kind of catches on uh you
22598s	know we do have a day before the final
22600s	uh weekend uh sorry the final day of
22602s	matches and I'm sure these teams will be
22605s	screaming throughout the night trying to
22606s	figure out how their opponent's comps
22608s	work and uh trying to find ways to
22610s	defeat them yeah speaking of that
22613s	um we uh started today with 18 teams uh
22616s	competing to win Alliance tournament 18.
22619s	right now we are down to five just five
22621s	teams remaining
22623s	um tomorrow we will see our top four go
22625s	up against each other to see who can be
22627s	the grand Champions and those top four
22630s	will be Volta Odin's call the tuscress
22633s	court and the winner of our upcoming
22634s	match lock Ring enjoyers versus truth
22636s	honor light so this again is an
22638s	elimination match we are in the
22639s	elimination bracket the winner of this
22640s	will go forward to live one more day
22644s	um and try and compete to get into that
22645s	Grand Final lock range enjoy is here
22647s	Banning out the Osprey Navy issue the
22649s	EOS and the Osprey whereas truth on a
22651s	light Banning out the Nighthawk the
22653s	executor Navy issue and the scalpel
22655s	black power what do you make of this
22657s	I think that uh the especially on the
22659s	true thunder light side we've seen
22660s	Locker engine doors win a lot with this
22663s	executive setup that they've been doing
22665s	uh now they can't do it and I think that
22666s	executive navies are actually a ship
22668s	that there isn't really
22670s	an equivalency for which you'll see a
22672s	lot in these is that you know like if
22674s	you ban the Osprey Navy out people can
22676s	bring like a caracal Navy if you ban uh
22679s	if you ban a no set you could bring a
22680s	guardian I don't personally think that
22682s	there is an equivalent of the executive
22684s	Navy so truth honor light is saying hey
22686s	we don't want to deal with that three
22688s	times executor Navy ship which is kind
22690s	of pretty cool and interesting and
22692s	jintan what do you make of the scalpel
22693s	ban yeah that's a that's a really
22695s	curious one I don't know uh if I'm gonna
22698s	be perfectly honest we haven't seen a
22700s	huge predilection of them in this
22702s	tournament and when we have it's mostly
22703s	been in Rush setups uh that said maybe
22706s	they were just trying to make that a
22707s	little weaker uh especially with luck
22710s	range enjoyers Banning that out that's
22711s	pretty much taking that off the table
22713s	unless they want to run some sort of
22715s	weird Scimitar based Rush which normally
22717s	isn't going to work because you don't
22718s	have the points then to dedicate into
22720s	that top end DPS
22722s	awesome and uh what what are you
22724s	expecting in this match bar like to see
22726s	these teams feel do you have you've
22727s	experienced a bunch of matches with uh
22728s	with both of them now
22730s	um you know give me your give me your
22731s	thoughts uh so normally if the executive
22734s	Navy wasn't banned I would kind of
22735s	expect Locker Engineers to sort of fall
22737s	back and be like okay we've won with
22739s	this several times and we lost last time
22741s	we didn't use it let's go back to the
22742s	tried and true um but it is banned so uh
22745s	I do believe that these two are uh
22748s	relatively interconnected in regards to
22750s	being practice Partners
22753s	um spoiler alert probably gonna get
22754s	pinged like what the hell uh so when
22758s	that happens you have absolutely no idea
22761s	um we've talked about Band Theory and
22763s	that a lot and honestly being practice
22765s	Partners does not help you it makes it
22767s	way way worse to go up against each
22768s	other so
22770s	I'm gonna say I have no idea we're going
22772s	to find out what they do when they put
22773s	it on grid and it's probably going to be
22774s	weird
22775s	yeah practice Partners going up against
22776s	each other you have that situation where
22778s	you know that team super well you know
22780s	what they like to do you know what
22780s	they're strong at and you've worked with
22782s	them to develop that meta so you know do
22785s	you just bring something you think that
22787s	you personally as a team are like
22788s	incredibly executing or do you try and
22790s	encounter them gentan like what's the
22792s	captain's thought process usually in
22793s	these well actually Bay art Jay the
22795s	producer of this stream was telling me a
22797s	really interesting story about something
22799s	he ran into when he was uh a part of
22802s	when he was playing in the alliance
22803s	tournament where they practiced a match
22805s	up between their practice Partners you
22807s	know 10 12 times they kind of knew the
22809s	ins and outs of how everything worked
22811s	kind of what they needed to do and
22813s	they'd found that it was something that
22814s	was very advantage to their opponent's
22815s	favor and then when they saw the bands
22817s	come in on the day they thought okay
22819s	well we think we know what they're going
22820s	to bring let's just put take away all
22823s	the tackle modules on our tackle replace
22824s	them with damps and we'll crush them and
22827s	then they did that and their practice
22828s	Partners were very salty about it so it
22831s	will be interesting to see if any team
22832s	sort of attempts something like that and
22834s	uh what the outcome of that might be
22836s	diplomatically which I think is always
22838s	fun there's always drama Behind These
22839s	matches that unfortunately we don't get
22841s	to see very much on the desk yeah before
22843s	we go to our last match of the day
22845s	trying to take a moment to shout out the
22847s	people down at the eve London watch
22848s	party right now uh they are in the
22851s	Oyster shed in London and they're
22853s	watching us on on the big TV hello
22855s	um I hope you guys having a great time
22857s	it is uh 20 to 10 I'm sure you've been
22859s	having a great time for many hours now
22861s	um and then yeah I hope you continue to
22862s	have a great time in this last match so
22864s	we're going to go to the arena now for a
22866s	lock range enjoyers versus truth honor
22868s	light
22873s	welcome back to the arena my name is
22876s	firvana joined by the Basilisk and on
22878s	the red side it is lock range enjoyers
22880s	and what have they brought it is a flag
22883s	Vindicator and a widow for the ultimate
22886s	in Ardmore control and uh I have to ask
22889s	ibaza what have
22891s	two thunder light brought so truth AKA
22894s	Justice League spearheaded by Dexter AKA
22897s	it's the open man in that Flagship bogus
22900s	they've brought a slightly strange wonky
22902s	armor comp but I mean I say wonky I'm
22904s	sure it's exceptionally gonna pull me
22905s	exceptionally well here two rapid heavy
22907s	battle two rapid heavy missile
22909s	battleships here the Armageddon Navy and
22911s	the bogus I remember they flew a comp
22913s	early with ball guest
22915s	um authoris and something else which I
22916s	thought was pretty low in damage but
22917s	they actually managed to make the picks
22918s	they needed and make those critical sort
22919s	of kills and get a win on points there
22921s	so I think they're going to be similarly
22922s	slow here it's going to be about finding
22924s	the targets they can actually kill and
22925s	we've got
22926s	Oodles of control in the low end
22928s	gentleman's agreement was made in local
22930s	not to shoot any Flagship wrecks uh
22933s	we'll see if that holds true
22935s	the teams are underway one team wants to
22938s	brawl the other team wants the kite and
22940s	in the middle we have the a t or I
22945s	should say it's it's it's actually just
22946s	a bunch of opooks Dragoon Yachts that
22949s	are cloaked up and uh observing what's
22952s	going on and some Polaris frigates
22955s	we've got a Confessor on one side of
22958s	Amelia dusk space and uh sort of
22960s	conversely on the other side the stipple
22961s	of damasis Kadesh obviously two very
22963s	well-known Pilots two very big names in
22964s	The Alliance tournament scene and
22966s	they're the sort of leading the charges
22967s	or say leading the charging the team's
22969s	really charging in here but they're the
22970s	the front line at the moment for their
22971s	team but they're just sort of no real
22973s	damage going across this sort of control
22974s	War at the moment
22975s	yeah no real damage there are a bunch of
22978s	uh jams going out
22980s	and some tracking and missile disruption
22982s	but otherwise not real damage no one's
22985s	really done anything this is just a
22988s	poking and product match this is just
22989s	like the armor control matchups we've
22991s	seen previously what is going on here
22994s	yeah and I saw something in the in the
22996s	even line disco the other day discussing
22998s	some of the matches about how one of the
23000s	I believe it was one of the Hydra
23001s	members sorry truth on the light Justice
23002s	League whatever saying oh you know these
23004s	armor control comps they just sit around
23005s	for seven minutes before the battle
23006s	starts we'll go on then get on with it
23009s	get on with it yes exactly uh we do see
23012s	this Armageddon Navy issue of Nick
23013s	burning in a little bit maybe trying to
23015s	force an over extension uh Confessor of
23018s	Amelia also doing the same burning
23020s	towards uh looks like this spiffle at
23022s	the moment or maybe the Sentinel from
23024s	the side of lock range enjoyers remember
23027s	one of these teams is going to get
23028s	eliminated and they are the last two
23030s	tournament winners uh for the game so
23034s	really excited to see who actually comes
23036s	out on top but now the Magus gets
23038s	volleyed by truth on her light and
23040s	that's the power of those two rapid
23042s	heavy heavy missiles I can't say that
23043s	anymore those two rapid heavy missile
23045s	battleships here they can pick a Target
23046s	and when there's a window where they're
23047s	both unjammed of course the fat Cy shows
23049s	us Jam attempts not successful jams and
23051s	they were able to just absolutely frag
23052s	that Magus right off the bat now we're
23053s	looking at damages condition the
23054s	stripper as well he's going into mid
23056s	armor
23057s	yeah the push forward and the pull back
23059s	working out well for truth honor light
23061s	and they only need one kill if they're
23063s	in the kite setup the Damascus to dash
23065s	though uh is now in uh defensive mode
23068s	and has the extra armor resists and the
23070s	uh Shield or not Shield resists uh the
23073s	uh
23075s	um
23078s	I was trying to look for Sig radius
23081s	there sorry about that it has been a
23082s	long day The Sentinel ajao Yi also
23085s	taking a bit of damage at the moment but
23086s	uh not a whole lot left and just like
23089s	that the teams are staring each other
23090s	down once again
23092s	yeah but as you said truth on a light
23094s	scoring first blood in this match and I
23096s	think you know we've seen Lockridge
23097s	enjoys bring this comp a couple times
23099s	earlier in the day with the window Widow
23100s	and The Vindicator but I think every
23102s	time they've brought it they've been in
23104s	a position where the enemy has pushed
23105s	into them and this is now a situation
23107s	where they're behind on points they need
23108s	to make something happen they've got
23109s	this Vindicator they want to use it and
23111s	obviously Truth All Out are not going to
23113s	come into them so a lot range of noise
23114s	need to be the ones pushing forward here
23115s	and it's a totally different Dynamic for
23117s	a comp whether you're sort of pulling
23119s	back kiting away from opponent who's
23121s	pushing into you or whether you need to
23122s	be the ones going aggressive and at the
23123s	moment the pressure is on lock range
23124s	enjoys to be going aggressive
23126s	and they need to find something that
23129s	scary is playing forward at the moment
23130s	uh doesn't really have a jackdaw on the
23132s	enemy team but uh to uh deal with at the
23136s	moment but he does have to deal with uh
23138s	dual blackbirds we mentioned this Widow
23140s	but also these dual blackbirds from the
23142s	side of Truth honor light are going to
23144s	be putting out bonus jams as well
23146s	although not uh strength bonused uh just
23149s	in terms of range shall ye in the
23151s	Sentinel not taking a bit more damage
23153s	but it looks like just drone blob on top
23156s	of them yeah it is just a drone blob and
23157s	as long as tin Baron obviously a very
23159s	competent pilot in his own right is
23160s	going to be able to just deal with that
23162s	no problem at all but it's still just
23163s	poking and prodding we see the Confessor
23164s	of Striker Erica push forward here but
23166s	immediately I believe gets scrammed by
23167s	the flagship bar guest of Dexter and
23169s	that's a very dangerous place for him to
23170s	be there's no getting out of that
23171s	situation he's going to get absolutely
23172s	obliterated here by these missiles
23174s	coming out from the battleships that is
23176s	a very long scram range and Striker uh
23179s	now still scrammed up now the Armageddon
23182s	Navy issue also got some tackle on top
23183s	of him I'm taking a look at the fancy UI
23185s	right now he was scrammed actually by
23187s	that Confessor but now he's broken free
23189s	the spiffle of Damascus Kadesh now
23191s	wanting to get himself with this
23193s	argument getting Navy of Nick domard but
23195s	we see the screen perhaps coming in this
23197s	carries uh might have a scrim on him
23199s	although I doubt it uh look at this
23201s	Vindicator
23203s	in the center of the screen here they
23204s	were just on the left of the screen a
23206s	second ago but now Vindicator from bogus
23207s	these two battleships just sat right on
23208s	top of each other I'm not sure who
23210s	really wants to be in this position
23211s	obviously if you're in a Vindicator you
23212s	think great I'm right on top of the
23213s	Bargas but Dexter has a history of
23215s	surviving at very very low HP in these
23216s	Flagship bogus and I think he got here
23218s	of his own accord so maybe he knows
23220s	something that grunt Kayla doesn't
23222s	he's got the damage of the Dual rapid
23224s	heavy competent at the moment The
23225s	Vindicator staying in a place we saw the
23228s	one Armageddon Navy maybe get tackled
23230s	earlier on but now he's broken free so
23232s	Nick domard doing just fine Xiao you in
23234s	the Sentinel though is now the primary
23236s	and has actual missile damage on top of
23238s	him at the moment but the Reps keep on
23240s	coming through from tin Baron and the
23242s	guardian yeah and I have to question
23244s	just how powerful that Sentinel is he
23245s	must be very very powerful with only
23247s	really two damage ships on the other
23249s	side the boggiest and the Navy gedden if
23251s	he has any guidance disrupted at all he
23253s	can just totally obliterate their
23254s	application here and now we see Dexter
23256s	starting to go into armor here it's
23257s	going to be up to Lucas Quan to keep him
23258s	up but he may get damped he may get
23260s	jammed obviously there's a lot of
23261s	control on both sides it's hard for us
23262s	to tell we've only got the fancy UI
23264s	icons they tell us a lot but they don't
23265s	tell us what's successful they don't
23266s	tell us whether the universe is actually
23267s	locking
23268s	um you know it's it's this is going to
23270s	be tricky here there's a lot of stuff
23272s	taking damage here the sensors taking
23273s	chunks the carries is taking damage
23274s	Dexter still slowly going down here the
23275s	lodgy's working their asses off here to
23277s	keep everyone alive
23278s	logite MVP for both these teams right
23281s	now Dexter now in to 55 armor he has in
23285s	our nearest on top of him but he still
23286s	has to deal with the flag of Indy they
23288s	do take down the Sentinel finally so
23289s	that frees up uh the missiles from the
23292s	Arvin getting Navy significantly as they
23294s	move on to this carries of Zale he has
23297s	been tanking quite a bit now he's got
23299s	the full rep power of the Guardian
23300s	behind him but he is slowly slowly
23303s	breathing structure right now A Dexter's
23305s	burning away here from this Vindicator
23306s	so I think he must obviously with those
23308s	newts that he's going to have on that
23309s	Flagship August I think he managed to
23311s	cap out of India and tally and stop his
23313s	way but the web goes back on the ball
23314s	gets just slowing down again but he's
23315s	already caught reps up to philama here
23317s	and in the meanwhile lock range enjoys
23318s	are slowly bleeding ships they lost the
23320s	Sentinel as you said the carries is
23322s	starting to take her grow here as well
23323s	and I wonder if this control from truth
23324s	or like might be too much to bear at
23325s	this point yeah these jams doing work
23328s	from this Widow blue morphism uh trying
23331s	to get the chance he can get but
23333s	unfortunately he's up against two
23334s	blackbirds and warp out and or run to or
23336s	uh or on test OVA ovassi have been able
23340s	to counter Jam this Widow and do the
23344s	work that they need to do to keep the
23345s	rest of these ships off of Truth honor
23347s	light they are now up 16-0 they have
23349s	three minutes left in the match and
23350s	they're on to Damascus Kadesh in the
23352s	Sipple now
23353s	yeah and as you say those two ACM ships
23355s	jamming each other but the the point
23356s	investment of the Widow and the
23358s	Blackbird let's say they're both
23358s	successful against each other they can
23360s	still lock each other but they can't
23361s	lock anything else but the points
23362s	investment 14 points for these two
23364s	blackbirds from truth on a light 25
23366s	points for lock range enjoyers on that
23368s	Widow so the rest of their comp is just
23370s	going to be that much weaker those extra
23371s	10 points not going elsewhere and you
23374s	know the Widow may be neutered here
23375s	although we do see the ecmi can come off
23376s	him but maybe now he's just being damped
23378s	instead by the carries they feel they
23379s	can keep it under control with that and
23380s	the swipple was that the circle that pop
23382s	know it was the Blackbird of jail does
23384s	go down
23385s	yeah both teams brought Blackbird once
23387s	brought two the other brought one and
23389s	unfortunately for lock range enjoyers
23391s	this should be all she wrote for the
23393s	match that blackbird's dead they're
23394s	gonna move on to this Pawn effects now
23396s	of Nora they've got plenty of damage on
23397s	top of them maybe then Tim Baron in the
23399s	guardian who is rapping quite
23402s	effectively onto this Pawn effects uh
23405s	the guardian versus the ineros it's an
23407s	uh age old question which do you bring
23409s	to the a t and it looks like the ineros
23411s	is letting out this particular time as
23414s	the DPS moves on to Tim Baron yeah so
23417s	this was quite slow burn at the start
23418s	but they did eventually kick it off but
23419s	with just two minutes left you know I
23421s	want to sort of talk about some of the
23422s	some of the plays we saw in this match I
23423s	want to call out Dexter specifically
23425s	obviously being entrusted with piloting
23428s	a multi-multi-billion flagship I can
23430s	assure you that barges on truth on a
23432s	light is not going to be a cheap ship
23433s	being entrusted with that you need to
23435s	know what you're doing and the fact that
23437s	he burned into that Vindicator and said
23438s	I'm not worried about his damage I know
23440s	I can mute him out before he kills me
23442s	and then was able to pull range again
23444s	and actually catch reps it it
23446s	demonstrates such an intricate and
23448s	in-depth knowledge of the situation is
23451s	it's got to be second nature even like a
23453s	language to him and he speaks it so
23454s	fluently and both these teams have been
23457s	extremely potent over the course of
23458s	today and the and last week
23461s	um it's a shame that one of them has to
23463s	go out but it is unfortunately going to
23464s	be lock range enjoys I believe they will
23466s	secure a top six finish with this loss
23468s	and Truth on a light will lock in a top
23470s	four position obviously aiming to
23472s	continue all the way to the final
23473s	tomorrow
23474s	now they will be facing the tuskers Co
23476s	in the first match of the day it is the
23479s	only bo1 tomorrow the only best of one
23481s	will be truth honor life versus the
23483s	testers Co and then we will have two
23485s	best of Threes in the upper bracket
23487s	finals and the lower bracket finals
23488s	followed by a b05 for the grand finals
23493s	baz and I will be casting that
23495s	particular match and I'm excited for it
23497s	tomorrow anything else you want to say
23499s	for these last 30 seconds of the match
23500s	before we hand it back to the desk I'm
23503s	just gonna give another shout out to
23504s	Nick tomorrow I call him out every time
