| 29s | welcome back to Alliance tournament 18 I |
| 32s | am CP overload and we are finally here |
| 35s | in the grand final days we started with |
| 37s | 32 teams only four remain that is we |
| 40s | form Volta and Odin's call in the upper |
| 42s | bracket and Truth honor light and the |
| 44s | tuskers in our lower bracket there is so |
| 47s | many exciting matches that is four |
| 48s | incredible teams that we are going to |
| 50s | see compete to see who can be the grand |
| 52s | Champions this year I'm joined on the |
| 54s | desk once again by Blackboard pirate and |
| 56s | the Basilisk basilisk how are you today |
| 58s | I'm good thank you last yesterday's |
| 60s | matches were incredible I loved that uh |
| 62s | that final set of matches of course I |
| 63s | had the technical difficulties in one of |
| 64s | them |
| 65s | let's not talk about that |
| 67s | um but yeah just overall the day was |
| 68s | brilliant any highlight matches for you |
| 70s | I mean that Odin's core match with the |
| 72s | four crews battleships was just |
| 74s | incredible it was the edge of my seat |
| 76s | the whole time watching I really had no |
| 77s | idea who was going to come out on top it |
| 79s | was just brilliant and also I mean the |
| 80s | reverse tie-dye as well in uh that was |
| 82s | as well another Odin's match they've had |
| 83s | a really fun tournament so far some |
| 86s | might say fun some might say stressful |
| 88s | audience call in fact uh actually came |
| 90s | through the uh feeder rounds and have |
| 93s | played a huge amount of matches already |
| 95s | they got up to the final they got |
| 96s | knocked into the Redemption Arc uh |
| 98s | playing I think uh 11 matches already in |
| 101s | uh Alliance tournament 18 if you include |
| 103s | the feeders because they're in the upper |
| 105s | bracket there is the potential that they |
| 107s | can play another 11 today um in fact now |
| 109s | they've played 14 matches so the |
| 111s | potential for them to play 25 matches in |
| 113s | Alliance tournament 18 which is |
| 115s | absolutely absurd I don't think any any |
| 118s | single team will have played that many |
| 119s | matches in a single Alliance tournament |
| 121s | and not even of course uh Hydro reloaded |
| 123s | who got knocked down to the losers |
| 124s | bracket in 315 and then did the losers |
| 126s | bracket run all the way to the final and |
| 128s | then lost |
| 130s | um bar any highlight matches for you |
| 131s | yesterday uh yes I liked the truth honor |
| 134s | light versus tusker's match because we |
| 135s | saw some kind of really weird stuff I do |
| 138s | believe that we made comments of is that |
| 140s | an armor Nighthawk and an armor Claymore |
| 142s | which uh are not normal ships that you |
| 144s | usually see but apparently they are |
| 145s | nowadays so that's totally cool uh I |
| 148s | also I did like the reverse tie-dye it's |
| 150s | the first time we've seen that in so |
| 152s | long |
| 152s | um so it was cool because we always talk |
| 154s | about like okay we need to be ready to |
| 155s | explain it just in case it happens it |
| 157s | never does it happened it explained it |
| 159s | super awesome so yeah I'm looking |
| 162s | forward to seeing it and I'm kind of |
| 163s | like really hoping for Odin's to win now |
| 165s | just because of how much work they've |
| 167s | had to put in and how much work they |
| 169s | might have to continue to put in today |
| 170s | yeah our first match of the day um which |
| 172s | will be coming up in just over five |
| 174s | minutes will be an elimination match a |
| 176s | best of one elimination match between |
| 178s | truth only and the tuskers call now |
| 180s | truth on a light came in they won |
| 181s | against ahil now they won against the |
| 183s | Rival then they lost to the tuskers co |
| 185s | they then went on a winning spree in the |
| 187s | lower bracket versus Dark Side Templars |
| 189s | khalsif and lock range enjoyers now |
| 191s | ending up here the tuskers co won |
| 193s | against the uh try team Polaris and |
| 195s | mercenary Alliance truth honor light uh |
| 198s | then lost to Odin's call in a very |
| 199s | exciting match and then one in the lower |
| 202s | bracket the Platinum sensitivity so this |
| 204s | is our final remaining best of one match |
| 206s | in Alliance tournament 18. this is an |
| 208s | elimination match the team that loses |
| 210s | will go home uh they are fourth place |
| 212s | which is uh which is nice you know it's |
| 214s | better than this place or any other |
| 215s | place down to 32 but it is not a winning |
| 218s | position and because this is the best of |
| 220s | one I expect these teams to bring the |
| 223s | best I mean truth I've already dropped |
| 224s | one to the tuskers tuskers have already |
| 226s | got a win upon truth on the light so |
| 228s | it's going to be super exciting let's |
| 230s | take a look at the bands for it and see |
| 231s | what we're gonna going to see in this |
| 233s | match |
| 235s | so truth on a light Banning out the |
| 237s | Osprey the hyena and the stormbringer |
| 239s | the tuskers cult Banning out the Loki |
| 241s | the jackdaw and the EOS Baza your |
| 244s | thoughts on this uh those tuskers bands |
| 246s | look to be their yield favorite as usual |
| 248s | they seem to love those three bands Loki |
| 250s | Jack dot EOS they come out pretty much |
| 251s | every time they play truth on the light |
| 253s | on the other hand they seem to sort of |
| 255s | roll the dice for their bands on every |
| 257s | match they seem to ban something totally |
| 259s | different I will I think the hyena is a |
| 261s | particularly good band I think the power |
| 263s | of that ship is is really important both |
| 264s | in whether you're flying kite against |
| 266s | rush or Rush against kite the value that |
| 268s | ship adds in sort of either scenario is |
| 270s | really important and the stormbringer of |
| 273s | course very good including drones Bart |
| 274s | uh do you think that this maybe says the |
| 276s | truth on a light want to make sure |
| 278s | there's a red Bots are going to be safe |
| 280s | in this match you know I I do I think |
| 282s | that um there's been a lot of there's |
| 284s | been a couple Stormbreaker bands over |
| 285s | this tournament that generally I would |
| 287s | say |
| 288s | I don't know why they chose to ban that |
| 289s | that's kind of strange but with this |
| 291s | specific team they don't ban stuff for |
| 293s | no reason and so that like kind of in |
| 295s | that same boat I looked at that I'm like |
| 296s | ah they're planning on bringing a lot of |
| 298s | rep drones or maybe like a lot of light |
| 300s | drones because we've actually seen that |
| 302s | before too where you basically have |
| 304s | every single ship in your team able to |
| 306s | field light drones and you put a you |
| 308s | know 50 cloud of hobgoblins onto some |
| 310s | like little ship and split DPS and it's |
| 313s | unrepable so those are kind of both |
| 314s | sides like when truth under light band |
| 316s | stuff they usually have a very good |
| 318s | reason for it |
| 319s | um I think that's kind of why we're |
| 321s | seeing the Stormbreaker pop out here |
| 323s | now basilisk um if you're a team Electro |
| 325s | thunder light and you have already lost |
| 327s | in this Alliance tournament to the |
| 329s | tuskers what do you think is going |
| 330s | through their heads right now |
| 332s | oh I mean it's very hard to say isn't it |
| 334s | um of course they still have their |
| 335s | Flagship bogus that's always an option |
| 336s | for them |
| 337s | um they're obviously they're not going |
| 339s | to have wanted to have been knocked down |
| 340s | in the lower bracket so early in the |
| 341s | tournament and they've had to make as |
| 342s | you said a pretty good run through |
| 345s | um so will they choose to sort of commit |
| 349s | everything bring the flag bogus put on |
| 350s | the line and then potentially lose it I |
| 352s | mean they might still win the match but |
| 353s | then not have it on the line for the |
| 354s | finals or will they bring something |
| 355s | wacky that we haven't seen before I mean |
| 357s | we saw them bring all sorts of stuff |
| 358s | yesterday two rapid heavy battleships |
| 360s | you know so I couldn't possibly guess |
| 362s | what truth on the light is going to |
| 364s | Magic up out from their back pocket |
| 365s | today yeah I mean like you say both of |
| 367s | these teams actually have their |
| 368s | flagships remaining both of them |
| 369s | bringing bar guests and I assure both of |
| 371s | them are incredibly expensive for our |
| 374s | guests and making maximum use of things |
| 376s | like officer launchers and officer tank |
| 378s | mods just whatever they can to get the |
| 380s | last little bit of a fraction of a |
| 382s | percent better than their opponents of |
| 385s | course some things like officer mods uh |
| 386s | they absorb heat better you were telling |
| 388s | me this this morning over breakfast The |
| 389s | Bachelors can you just elaborate on that |
| 390s | yeah so sdl launches particular all the |
| 393s | officer launches you get better they |
| 394s | they take less heat damage per cycle |
| 396s | which means you can actually heat them |
| 397s | for longer so I think with our testing |
| 398s | on our Flagship that we did with kaika's |
| 400s | launchers we could heat for 2021 Cycles |
| 403s | on every launcher and get them to like |
| 404s | 1995 here and not burn out whereas if |
| 406s | you've got estimls obviously I haven't |
| 408s | got a pair of decimal so I don't know |
| 409s | how strong it is but I imagine you could |
| 410s | probably heat for maybe you know 25 26 |
| 412s | Cycles if I had to guess which is a huge |
| 415s | Advantage because as long as you don't |
| 416s | burn them out entirely you can then stop |
| 418s | and rep them back up with paste and then |
| 420s | go again and then with a team like Hydra |
| 421s | that's got such sort of controlled |
| 422s | Target calling where they pick a Target |
| 425s | and pop it that's really valuable |
| 427s | awesome now let's do some quick |
| 428s | predictions and then go to the match so |
| 430s | black bear pirate who are you going for |
| 431s | oh I'm gonna have to say uh I think I'm |
| 433s | gonna have to go with tuskers because if |
| 435s | they won once why can't they win again |
| 437s | and uh basilisk I'm going to go the |
| 440s | truth on the light because I mean like |
| 441s | Hydra last year I think every time you |
| 442s | chop off a head they grow three more so |
| 445s | I I'm gonna put my uh twitch Channel |
| 447s | points behind the tuskers but it's time |
| 448s | to go through and find out as we go with |
| 450s | our first match of the day the tuskers |
| 452s | versus truth on a light |
| 458s | and welcome back to the arena we have a |
| 460s | very interesting I hope we have |
| 462s | basically the uh the Shadows awkward |
| 464s | that have returned and we've got a quad |
| 465s | battle cruiser comp against a redeemer |
| 467s | Vindicator curse comp this is going to |
| 469s | be honestly a lot of control from truth |
| 472s | on a lot and a lot of damage from |
| 473s | tuskers what do you think about this one |
| 474s | Zoo well I'm absolutely loving the |
| 476s | Firepower the truth honors brought here |
| 478s | a redeemer a Vindicator your absolutely |
| 480s | favorite chip and two bombers there |
| 482s | sporting the Torpedoes they also have |
| 483s | that lovely um t3d core of this football |
| 485s | and the confession that's going to be |
| 487s | able to provide that screening an extra |
| 489s | DPS where needed not to be |
| 490s | underestimated the ridiculous amount of |
| 492s | DPS something like a slipper can push |
| 493s | out so truth honor going hard on the |
| 495s | damage side here |
| 497s | yeah unfortunately their bombers will |
| 499s | not be particularly useful against these |
| 501s | battle Cruisers they should potentially |
| 502s | get killed but it's going to be honestly |
| 504s | curious to see what this curse can |
| 506s | provide this team they are very high |
| 508s | skill uh skill cap ship |
| 510s | they either do very well or very poorly |
| 512s | and there is no in between |
| 514s | and this is an elimination match and |
| 516s | both teams do still have their flagships |
| 518s | available but neither team has decided |
| 519s | to bring it links are being fired off |
| 521s | right now maybe a bit pre-empathy will |
| 523s | see but I still feel bombers are going |
| 525s | to have a lovely time chunking into |
| 526s | these battle Cruisers obviously it's |
| 528s | going to be you know get those |
| 528s | transverse or up Dodgers turrets but the |
| 531s | bombers will probably have the advantage |
| 532s | of sporting some more e-war in their |
| 534s | mids we're gonna have to see what they |
| 535s | brought is it gonna be dams guidance |
| 536s | disruptors or tracking disruptors |
| 539s | oh yeah it's going to be a lot of uh |
| 541s | utility meds being uh abused and applied |
| 543s | to the opponent but honestly The |
| 544s | Vindicator and the redeemers have a lot |
| 546s | of work to try and grab hold of these uh |
| 548s | I think they're pretty sure things are |
| 549s | cutting battle Cruisers to chasing him |
| 550s | down |
| 552s | uh I just think it should be a pretty |
| 554s | easy job still I mean the lasers on a |
| 556s | redeemer pretty good weapon Choice |
| 557s | overall Scorch is fantastic beams are |
| 559s | fantastic I doubt it's uh beams that |
| 562s | he's writing but Scorch is always |
| 563s | amazing and with Vindicator is going to |
| 564s | probably have a bit more of a harder job |
| 565s | so we'll see but the lovely thing about |
| 567s | having a curse in your team like this |
| 569s | with the curse getting Advantage a |
| 570s | curses pretty much has |
| 572s | um a battleships range of heavy newts if |
| 574s | it's just sporting medium so if it can |
| 575s | just reach out and you know just zap |
| 577s | these battle Cruisers just you know |
| 578s | touch them with these medium notes every |
| 580s | now and then just pop them out of that |
| 582s | mwd Cycles every now and then it's going |
| 584s | to be easy catching for that Vinnie |
| 587s | unfortunately have a quick selector |
| 588s | technical difficulty for some of the |
| 590s | parts at the moment so they're currently |
| 591s | working on that but I can't wait to see |
| 594s | how this is actually going to start off |
| 595s | it's going to be very interesting what |
| 596s | that curse can provide to the team we |
| 599s | keep banging them out because everyone's |
| 600s | kind of scared of them but what we're |
| 602s | seeing it takes a really good part to |
| 603s | really use them well but we are in the |
| 604s | final day where all the good parts |
| 605s | starts showing up |
| 607s | yeah so while the refs are sorting these |
| 608s | things out |
| 609s | um also just wondering about the matter |
| 611s | here that we have on tusker side so |
| 612s | normally you see the matter |
| 614s | um your typical classic and histories of |
| 616s | 80s and stuff just being a brick tank |
| 618s | ship uh focusing more on its resistances |
| 621s | bonuses and forsaking its high slots for |
| 623s | Newt so it would be a ship that would |
| 625s | run in there and be heavy tackle and |
| 626s | just like you know it's not going to die |
| 628s | and then she's going to harass something |
| 629s | but we've seen this field tusker is |
| 631s | actually opting for guns on the matter |
| 633s | here I believe those are dual beams on |
| 635s | it most likely meanwhile the vexer the |
| 637s | other Cruiser what doesn't have not as |
| 639s | tanky as a matter that doesn't have any |
| 641s | boss or anything obviously it's a drone |
| 643s | boat but in that one we'll probably be |
| 644s | seeing it uh being more of a newding |
| 646s | ship as well |
| 647s | exactly I expect to be a full nuke |
| 649s | Vector which is going to be potentially |
| 650s | brutal to whatever ship it grabs but I |
| 652s | think the curse might have a beat in |
| 654s | that department we'll see how that one |
| 655s | definitely plays out and both teams also |
| 657s | went uh heavy on to their lodging and |
| 659s | bringing on euros's so they're both |
| 661s | teams decide they really want that to |
| 662s | take your Logistics Cruiser |
| 664s | on logistic Cruisers are fun to watch |
| 666s | you can just see the positioning skill |
| 668s | that comes in from these Pilots |
| 669s | especially with |
| 670s | um you know is what the top four teams |
| 672s | now on at so uh hopefully we're going to |
| 674s | see some skillful plays here and no |
| 675s | one's just feeding themselves into a |
| 676s | Vindicator and not watching where |
| 677s | they're flying so countdown looks like |
| 679s | it's finally starting with things being |
| 680s | sorted out |
| 682s | um any favorite ships you want to see do |
| 684s | some major players here Wingnut I I want |
| 686s | to see what this curse is going to do |
| 687s | yeah I think the curse and Redeemer are |
| 689s | going to be like the focal point of how |
| 690s | this match rolls The Vindicator is going |
| 692s | to do Vindicator things but it's going |
| 693s | to be the curse and the Redeemer that |
| 695s | really help it do what it wants to do |
| 697s | and of course watching these battle |
| 698s | Cruisers dance around it's going to be |
| 700s | interesting to watch as well |
| 702s | definitely so 30 seconds Let's uh see |
| 704s | what we're gonna kick off here |
| 707s | um yeah definitely going to see some |
| 708s | cardi action I think here from the |
| 709s | tusker side um these teams normally in |
| 711s | this High skill brackets also just more |
| 713s | uh you know prone to uh with the cutting |
| 715s | stuff more in their skill set as well |
| 717s | being uh small gang rumors on TQ as well |
| 720s | so it's right up their alley |
| 724s | and also I think tuskers have the secret |
| 726s | weapon they've got Jason Osborne in that |
| 727s | molar so I think it's Tusk as a game to |
| 730s | win right yeah yeah |
| 732s | oh yeah now Twitter is going to go crazy |
| 733s | with that Mansion now there |
| 736s | um so I really just wanted to see some |
| 738s | action happening here so countdowns |
| 741s | should be finishing soon quickly I'm |
| 743s | interested to see what drones we're |
| 744s | gonna do if we're going to be going for |
| 745s | a full uh rep Jones on both sides I'm |
| 747s | just gonna have to see how those teams |
| 748s | are microing them or the teams are still |
| 750s | going to be opting for this full damage |
| 751s | waves |
| 753s | I I personally am expecting rap drones |
| 755s | from the tuska side I could be very |
| 757s | wrong and putting them all into their |
| 758s | nearest but we're going to see as the |
| 759s | match is about to go right now |
| 762s | and let's see who is going first so we |
| 765s | got uh True Flight looks like they're |
| 767s | obviously charging they've got a video |
| 768s | on that side and particularly testers |
| 769s | falling back there we got some Warriors |
| 771s | coming out not a full Repton cycle yet |
| 773s | no one really wanted to commit drones |
| 774s | quite yet poking each other a long range |
| 776s | of damage first coming onto the |
| 778s | Confessor on true side |
| 780s | the damage coming back on the hard Navy |
| 782s | at the moment |
| 783s | tends to be one of the first picks and |
| 784s | the professor is thinking quite well in |
| 786s | the hard Navy well we'll see when he |
| 787s | finally gets to armor |
| 791s | right now so they're going for that well |
| 793s | it looks like tuskers is still on DPS |
| 795s | bought aside so um if this engagement |
| 797s | draws out it looks like uh truth honors |
| 799s | playing more of a control setup with |
| 800s | these battleships uh the logistics |
| 802s | Cruiser and the red pods to support that |
| 804s | solo Logistics Cruiser as well so we'll |
| 807s | see if uh tuskers maybe looks a play to |
| 808s | get rid of these armor Bots because |
| 810s | otherwise they're going to have a pretty |
| 811s | hard time |
| 812s | instead of putting some damage down into |
| 814s | The Vindicator now I suspect that's |
| 815s | going to be very very hard to break |
| 818s | but I guess you might as well shoot |
| 819s | something while you're moving into |
| 821s | position |
| 823s | unfortunately not too flexible on their |
| 825s | ammo types both the |
| 827s | um the galante and the amard ships uh |
| 830s | being locked into their respective |
| 832s | damage types not so flexible like |
| 833s | kaldari or Minotaur so if the reactive |
| 836s | kicks in then unfortunate uh if they're |
| 838s | going into the battleship like that so I |
| 841s | think they should be looking to just |
| 842s | make these plays on hopefully the |
| 844s | bombers in the t3ds but we do see them |
| 845s | trying for those t3ds probably just |
| 847s | looking more mistake but as time goes |
| 849s | longer we see these battleships like the |
| 850s | Redeemer and The Vindicator just slowly |
| 852s | cornering them against the side of the |
| 853s | arena and they don't have Ninja deep |
| 854s | begin to escape |
| 856s | yeah the golf is going to try and burn |
| 857s | around get behind them at the moment the |
| 859s | uh honestly the vending the Redeemer |
| 860s | kind of screening them away from the |
| 862s | support when they want to try and murder |
| 864s | so they're all burning around to the |
| 866s | side trying to get away from the uh the |
| 867s | ball of death that is of indicator |
| 870s | is that near us |
| 873s | how close is that |
| 875s | I should be pretty close so I was |
| 876s | worried about the battleship but |
| 878s | Daenerys came back in here |
| 880s | um there should probably be a long-range |
| 882s | grapple if anything right now but |
| 883s | nothing's just a regular word not a |
| 885s | grapple I think that's a regular web not |
| 886s | a grapple I'm pretty sure so that oneros |
| 888s | is now being webbed down I Believe by |
| 889s | The Vindicator potentially no there's no |
| 891s | web on that it might just be a UI issue |
| 893s | right now that on yours is cruising |
| 894s | around at 600 Ms he's having a time of |
| 896s | his life dodging all those shots but |
| 898s | looks like as we're saying that the |
| 899s | pressure's coming in we have the execute |
| 900s | Navy issue going in for the neros of |
| 902s | Lucas right now he's probably going to |
| 903s | get hard tackles and that's going to be |
| 904s | the first pressure that we're going to |
| 905s | see Happening Here onto truth honor and |
| 907s | this they trade lodges too early here |
| 909s | we'll see how this match goes now if |
| 912s | they can go for the lodgy trade here I |
| 913s | still think tussle will be in a good |
| 914s | spot they can pretty much keep away from |
| 916s | these uh battleships for a good time but |
| 918s | unfortunately they've lost their logic |
| 919s | already and they're still working on |
| 920s | Lucas Quan |
| 924s | so there goes the largely down for |
| 925s | tusker's side now indeed the venin the |
| 927s | battleships getting onto that getting |
| 929s | them down Lucas doing a good job of all |
| 930s | those red Parts on him keeping him live |
| 933s | um probably tanking a bit of the |
| 934s | transversal damage as well you know |
| 936s | doing a good job of just uh flying |
| 937s | sideways to the turrets like there but |
| 939s | huge rep uh pots and damage Parts Cloud |
| 942s | on there hopefully one of these |
| 943s | battleships no well you wouldn't want to |
| 944s | actually want to get in there and kill |
| 945s | your own lodgy Bots right now but as |
| 947s | we're saying this taskers will be losing |
| 948s | their battle Cruise of course slowly if |
| 950s | they not don't manage to kite away from |
| 951s | this windy |
| 952s | yeah this is starting to not look very |
| 954s | very good for tasks at all that on Euros |
| 956s | is still alive getting wrapped up by I |
| 958s | believe an absolute monstrous swarm of |
| 960s | rep drones as well as a swarm of DPS |
| 962s | drones as well the harboring it goes |
| 963s | down and they still haven't broken this |
| 964s | yet this is getting worse and worse for |
| 967s | tuskers and at the moment I'm starting |
| 968s | to have trouble seeing light at the end |
| 969s | of the tunnel for them |
| 971s | it's true well we do see Lucas uh |
| 973s | getting some uh pressure there for one |
| 975s | half armor he will most likely have an |
| 977s | axle rep so burning it through paste |
| 978s | right now but something quite |
| 979s | comfortable will also be having a |
| 981s | reactive going in his favor uh but these |
| 983s | battle cruisers on the tusker side |
| 985s | definitely getting chunked through right |
| 987s | now the curse will also just slowly be |
| 989s | shutting them down as well so while |
| 990s | they're more committing and committing |
| 991s | hard onto the sunderos it just gives |
| 993s | more position for um truth on a light to |
| 996s | just circle around them and close off |
| 997s | any Escape they have here |
| 999s | I'm also kind of surprised that the |
| 1000s | bombers are still out they must be |
| 1001s | playing very carefully but honestly the |
| 1004s | amount of rap drones on that are neros |
| 1005s | that I see at least a wave of Heavies a |
| 1008s | wave of mediums wave of two of lights |
| 1010s | that is so many rep drones that I know |
| 1011s | it's keeping it alive but the task is |
| 1013s | team at this point they're just kind of |
| 1014s | falling apart they've got nothing left |
| 1016s | sure they even had a full set of |
| 1018s | guidance disruptors from tuskers going |
| 1021s | on to the bombers of Truth Or No Light |
| 1022s | but even with that as aubergine Navy |
| 1024s | issue goes down we see uh Chief owner |
| 1026s | just pulled those bombers a bit closer |
| 1028s | um you know making it taking advantage |
| 1029s | of the paints and applications all that |
| 1031s | and just getting not real pressure on |
| 1032s | those bombers as well and just being |
| 1033s | able to complete the Pummel into these |
| 1035s | battle cruises we even saw a cycle to |
| 1037s | split damage you're easily able to let |
| 1039s | it always with bombers you know just |
| 1040s | apply pressure all over the show |
| 1042s | um but I think at this stage it's pretty |
| 1044s | much just rinse and clean up for truth |
| 1046s | as they're just chunking through this |
| 1047s | and at this point it shows why the curse |
| 1049s | also very strong as well let's say they |
| 1051s | managed to kill the oneros with what |
| 1052s | they have on grid that curse is now |
| 1055s | permanently stopping the bricks and |
| 1056s | firing at range it's ruining the Navy |
| 1057s | exec I'd say it's reading the Navy org |
| 1060s | but it doesn't really matter they don't |
| 1061s | really have the tools left at that point |
| 1063s | to do anything with a curse on grid and |
| 1064s | that's honestly what a curse can do with |
| 1066s | a good pilot just pretty much remove |
| 1068s | ships from Cape from being able to do |
| 1069s | anything |
| 1071s | absolutely it's a such a very |
| 1072s | scholarship why you see a bandage Recon |
| 1074s | Recons are expensive for a reason but |
| 1077s | newts and not only newts it's long range |
| 1080s | nudes it's powerful nudes then it has a |
| 1081s | drone bonus and then it has an ewar |
| 1083s | bonus 2 boot with being an armor ship it |
| 1085s | has all those mids as well |
| 1087s | um good job here as well a lot of people |
| 1089s | fall into the problem of hey if I have a |
| 1091s | drone bonus then we take DPS spots but |
| 1093s | they're taking advantage of the HP bonus |
| 1095s | that the Chris would also get to just |
| 1096s | have some chunky redbots to support the |
| 1098s | rest of the team here if you have any |
| 1100s | favorite word and now on Twitter |
| 1101s | chunking |
| 1103s | hahaha |
| 1105s | but yeah the smaller and Old Navy going |
| 1107s | down this is actually a full-on 100 to |
| 1109s | zero Clean Sweep for truth on a light |
| 1110s | here which is not obviously what I was |
| 1112s | expecting to see there I expect to see |
| 1113s | tuskers maybe a exact a toll upon the |
| 1116s | truth on a white team but just |
| 1118s | fortunately I think that on Earth's |
| 1120s | getting caught was just such a painful |
| 1121s | uh blow to their team |
| 1123s | yeah unfortunately I forgot we had two |
| 1125s | or nearest on the field so I was a bit |
| 1126s | confused when we calling out the web I'm |
| 1127s | like what are you talking about |
| 1128s | truthfulness light on Euros is going for |
| 1130s | Freedom that's like nope nope it was |
| 1132s | tuskers that have been caught out |
| 1134s | um a shame I would say for the last |
| 1136s | elimination uh well the proper |
| 1138s | elimination before we get to the best of |
| 1139s | uh later in the day |
| 1141s | um hoping to at least see someone bring |
| 1143s | their Flagship you know put it all in |
| 1144s | the line here in the bottom with both |
| 1145s | teams still having it available but |
| 1147s | we're just going to be seeing some |
| 1148s | battle Cruisers and cruisers going up in |
| 1150s | explosions |
| 1152s | yeah and with that truth I don't like |
| 1154s | companies get a commanding victory over |
| 1155s | tuskers and with that we'll go back to |
| 1157s | the studio and see what they think |
| 1162s | [Music] |
| 1188s | oh |
| 1190s | yeah |
| 1192s | [Music] |
| 1200s | [Music] |
| 1224s | foreign |
| 1226s | [Music] |
| 1241s | truth honor light they are taking the |
| 1243s | Victory and remaining in Alliance |
| 1245s | tournament 18 as the taskers call sadly |
| 1247s | depart with that 100 to zero defeat |
| 1250s | there uh by truth on the light very |
| 1252s | unfortunate for them they had a pretty |
| 1254s | good running to be fair this year |
| 1256s | um I don't think anyone can say they |
| 1257s | didn't improve from last year last year |
| 1260s | it wasn't the best of their showings of |
| 1261s | course they won in Alliance tournament |
| 1262s | 14 and they now take fourth place here |
| 1265s | in the last term 18 truth on the light |
| 1266s | go forward to face the loser of our next |
| 1268s | match which is the best of three so |
| 1270s | truth on Ally still fighting to remain |
| 1272s | in the tournament they are now at least |
| 1273s | third place |
| 1275s | um and we'll get a decent number of |
| 1277s | price ships from that now basilisk what |
| 1279s | happened there it looked like that a |
| 1281s | neros |
| 1281s | um like the tuskers team looked quite |
| 1283s | good uh you know bomber shooting into |
| 1285s | battle Cruisers and cruisers looked like |
| 1287s | they were going to be able to remove |
| 1287s | that relatively quickly but then anira |
| 1290s | seemed to maybe just get a little bit |
| 1291s | too close of indicator what happened |
| 1292s | yeah so I think um as we as we were |
| 1295s | chatting as the match was going on we |
| 1296s | were sort of expecting those bombers to |
| 1298s | evaporate very quickly but I think truth |
| 1299s | on like brought a significant number of |
| 1300s | tracking disruptions just applied them |
| 1302s | across the VCS and absolutely nuked |
| 1303s | their range and the bombers were very |
| 1305s | hard to hit and then we saw Nick dimar |
| 1306s | and the Redeemer and Dexter and The |
| 1307s | Vindicator just charged straight in and |
| 1310s | I'm not sure if it was Amelia and |
| 1312s | brainstorming the swipling Confessor who |
| 1314s | managed to get initial tackle but in any |
| 1315s | case Dexter and his Vindicator webs did |
| 1318s | manage to answer that mirror so once |
| 1319s | that happens Daenerys is basically dead |
| 1320s | in the water and from that point |
| 1322s | um it was just sort of you know |
| 1323s | whittling away at the Battle Cruisers |
| 1325s | from there and there wasn't really much |
| 1325s | recourse for tuskers to fight back yeah |
| 1328s | but we start at the start of the match |
| 1330s | um a couple of games disruptors |
| 1331s | immediately landed on those bombers but |
| 1333s | then no tracking disruptors seemed to |
| 1335s | appear across any of the other gun ships |
| 1336s | do you think that tuscaras maybe thought |
| 1339s | that uh Twitter link was gonna bring |
| 1340s | something completely different and they |
| 1341s | stacked up and guys interruptors here I |
| 1343s | do I think uh I think tuskers thought |
| 1345s | that truth on the light was going to |
| 1346s | bring that like bargist armor control |
| 1348s | setup that they brought uh |
| 1351s | and they were like prepared specifically |
| 1353s | against it um I didn't really get a |
| 1355s | chance to like zoom in in all the battle |
| 1356s | Cruisers but I bet you they were like |
| 1357s | you know we'll be able to check the uh Z |
| 1359s | kills afterwards and someone to be like |
| 1360s | no he's wrong why is he up on the desk |
| 1362s | but I bet you they were all like siboed |
| 1364s | up you know Max ECM and I think they |
| 1366s | were expecting to fight an ECM setup |
| 1368s | which what tuskers brought would be |
| 1370s | really good against it because you have |
| 1371s | a ton of DPS that's long range so if you |
| 1373s | get jammed you're like I'll just shoot |
| 1374s | the black Brit instead |
| 1376s | um interestingly I personally think that |
| 1377s | if tuskers had brought their setup that |
| 1380s | they had used to be truth on a light the |
| 1381s | first time they would have beat them the |
| 1383s | second time as well but uh I think that |
| 1385s | they might have sort of Mind Game |
| 1386s | themselves and like oh Kadesh Priestess |
| 1389s | is genius we'll figure out how to beat |
| 1390s | this we can't do it again so uh it was a |
| 1393s | good match and uh there was also this |
| 1394s | really awesome shot of like Dexter's |
| 1397s | Vindicator like power sliding through |
| 1399s | their team and then tackling onto the |
| 1401s | owneros that was like really awesome so |
| 1403s | uh shout out to the camera people I know |
| 1405s | a lot of people have been saying go the |
| 1407s | camera Works amazing but now I'm saying |
| 1408s | it officially so you can all say I'm |
| 1410s | wrong but it's me not them account work |
| 1413s | has indeed been amazing this year we |
| 1415s | have a couple of people doing that in |
| 1416s | the back we've got a white shot a |
| 1418s | close-up shot we have some people |
| 1419s | heading together cool little replays at |
| 1421s | the end of every match uh so many people |
| 1423s | um we'll see some of them a little bit |
| 1424s | later on today doing those camera shots |
| 1426s | I mean to be honest it's harder than |
| 1427s | flying the ship so I had a little goal |
| 1428s | in one of those little 3D mouses it's |
| 1430s | like you can move the camera and sort of |
| 1431s | change the angle at the same time and |
| 1432s | it's it's bloody difficult to be honest |
| 1434s | so it's yeah such subtle movement it's |
| 1435s | like it's like a little cylinder as you |
| 1437s | sort of you can move it forward |
| 1438s | backwards left right and up and down and |
| 1440s | twist it so you can kind of fly your |
| 1442s | ship through space |
| 1443s | um or the camera through space |
| 1445s | um but it's also very easy to lose |
| 1446s | control and just spin off into the void |
| 1448s | I tried it on the G to undock and just |
| 1451s | like crashed into everything it was an |
| 1452s | absolute nightmare so those guys like uh |
| 1455s | ccp's Alice is sitting there like very |
| 1457s | little tiny moves and I tried it this |
| 1459s | morning was just like flying out to |
| 1460s | control he was like slow down man |
| 1463s | uh okay so we're now coming up into uh |
| 1466s | the the matches that decide the top |
| 1468s | three of Alliance tournament 18 so now |
| 1470s | we're getting into the the real grind |
| 1473s | for these teams so our next match is a |
| 1474s | best of three so uh these teams Odin's |
| 1477s | call and we from Volta will play each |
| 1478s | other as many as three times of course |
| 1481s | if one team goes two then there's no |
| 1483s | point in playing the third match because |
| 1484s | they've lost so they're right |
| 1486s | um and we have rolling Conquest bands |
| 1489s | coming up as well so if a team wins on |
| 1491s | Match one in match two the regular bands |
| 1494s | still apply they also cannot bring any |
| 1496s | of the ships they brought in match one |
| 1498s | it only applies to the winners of the |
| 1500s | previous match so if there is uh we go |
| 1502s | to the third place or the third match |
| 1504s | and the best of three then only the team |
| 1506s | that won match two |
| 1508s | won't be able to bring those bands will |
| 1510s | apply the match one bands are un applied |
| 1512s | yep so there's only 10 Conquest bands at |
| 1514s | maximum at any point Thank You from the |
| 1516s | team that won the previous you said it |
| 1517s | much better than either nice it's |
| 1518s | incredibly complex Banning system uh |
| 1520s | honestly I don't know how the team |
| 1521s | captions deal with this like three bands |
| 1523s | is hard six bands makes my mind start to |
| 1526s | melt then potentially with the trickle |
| 1528s | bands we have nine |
| 1530s | and then potentially 19. yeah so |
| 1533s | it's not as bad as that one year where |
| 1535s | the conquest spans never went away yes |
| 1537s | and it was like 30 bands by the end and |
| 1539s | you're just like whatever I don't know |
| 1540s | what to do anymore yes I guess we can |
| 1543s | bring the power points we can kill any |
| 1544s | ships I heard so that's uh that is true |
| 1546s | that's true yes um he was in not in my |
| 1549s | Corp I actually told him I was like Asar |
| 1552s | like you cannot be in my court if you're |
| 1554s | going to be doing the solo ride your |
| 1555s | roaming and he was actually doing it |
| 1557s | with no scouts no links no nothing just |
| 1559s | like I'll just gate to gate so uh I mean |
| 1561s | shout out to Asar get good Chad yeah you |
| 1564s | did Giga Chad's in your fort clearly |
| 1565s | nope Linked UP yeah let's take a look at |
| 1568s | the bands for refund Volta versus Odin's |
| 1570s | called match one and see what these |
| 1571s | teams are at are vetoing so we Farm |
| 1573s | Volta Banning out the abaddin which is |
| 1575s | my favorite Ship by the way at the |
| 1577s | balgorn and the Scorpion Navy issue |
| 1578s | Odin's called Banning out the Nighthawk |
| 1581s | the hyena and the stormbringer |
| 1583s | Blackboard pirate another Stormbreaker |
| 1584s | band do you think they've just uh these |
| 1586s | bands are very similar actually to the |
| 1587s | truth on the light bands what's your |
| 1588s | what's your thoughts here |
| 1589s | it's really hard to say so I actually |
| 1591s | talked to uh Colonel Kurtz who's I'm |
| 1593s | pretty sure one of the uh people sort of |
| 1595s | in charge of Odin's or at least helping |
| 1597s | out with them this year and he used to |
| 1598s | be uh one of the co-captains in NC DOT |
| 1601s | back when ncdot was both in tournaments |
| 1602s | and relatively decent at them so I kind |
| 1605s | of like understand some of his thinking |
| 1607s | behind it and I think that we're like |
| 1608s | same situation where we've been seeing |
| 1611s | Volta |
| 1613s | do different stuff every time and a lot |
| 1614s | of times they just only one comp their |
| 1615s | way to the end I think that they're |
| 1617s | worried about something similar to like |
| 1618s | what we just saw like Mass rep drones |
| 1621s | um obviously I don't think stormbreakers |
| 1622s | are great against DPS drones but we |
| 1624s | haven't really seen DPS drones do good |
| 1625s | at all this time so yeah that's true we |
| 1628s | haven't seen very many DPS drone comps |
| 1629s | uh drone comps were super popular in |
| 1631s | some tournaments |
| 1632s | um oppressively so in some tournaments |
| 1635s | um and one of the advantages of drone |
| 1636s | conference is you could drop your drones |
| 1637s | and just fly away and uh that was it you |
| 1639s | were you're basically safe just go sit |
| 1641s | on an mjd peeking and someone shot even |
| 1643s | oh jump and then off you went and then |
| 1645s | you were safe again uh basilisk what do |
| 1648s | you think we might see in this match |
| 1649s | oh without the bands have gone so it's |
| 1652s | hard to judge |
| 1653s | um I think there was armor battleships |
| 1654s | gone wasn't there about an amalgon and |
| 1656s | we've seen them quite a lot um and they |
| 1658s | sort of contribute to control the kind |
| 1659s | of comps with you've got to be careful |
| 1660s | of the battle gun but um the |
| 1662s | stormbringer as you guys were saying |
| 1663s | it's a pretty versatile ban I think as |
| 1665s | truth on a light Bandit last match you |
| 1667s | maybe want to ban it to deal with swarms |
| 1668s | of rep drones but also I think it's |
| 1669s | quite a versatile [ __ ] because you can |
| 1671s | either fit armor and just stack what's |
| 1672s | he got six mids with ewall or you can |
| 1674s | fit at shield and it becomes actually |
| 1675s | quite a tanky heavy tackler |
| 1678s | awesome uh let's do some quick |
| 1679s | predictions and see what we think might |
| 1681s | happen in that match one obviously I'm |
| 1682s | going to support my boys Volta but who |
| 1684s | are you going to support I'm going to |
| 1685s | support your boys in Volta for match one |
| 1688s | damn it you're not supposed to say that |
| 1690s | um and do you think Odin's enjoy it all |
| 1692s | the way come on guys they've they've |
| 1694s | fought so hard to get here they've been |
| 1695s | through so many trials and tribulations |
| 1696s | with verse tie-dye and you know feeder |
| 1699s | tournaments and Edge of the sea piloting |
| 1701s | you know so go on rodents I believe |
| 1702s | let's see if wardens can do it as we go |
| 1704s | to the arena for match one of those best |
| 1706s | of three between we from Volta and |
| 1707s | Odin's call |
| 1711s | foreign |
| 1713s | for the first of the best of Threes And |
| 1716s | we have what looks to be fly Killer |
| 1717s | versus again what looks to be a mimitar |
| 1719s | rush we've got rapid rapid lights rapid |
| 1721s | Heavies all covered up on these bugs |
| 1722s | Osprey navies authorises caracals and |
| 1725s | then we have a double slip near Rush |
| 1728s | with a scimitar so this is going to be |
| 1730s | honestly a bloodbath of DPS both teams |
| 1732s | have got a pretty girthy attack bar |
| 1735s | but I always have a bit more backup |
| 1736s | control with their Jack doors what do |
| 1738s | you think about this one Zoo |
| 1739s | oh yeah we've seen the full AC Loadout |
| 1741s | here on the minimum guitar side |
| 1742s | obviously also fly catcher mixed in |
| 1744s | there so not a full Minotaur rush and |
| 1746s | then just a full rapid side here on on |
| 1748s | Odin so we're gonna see if these clips |
| 1749s | can get through slipner it's gonna be |
| 1751s | interesting if they decide to go for a |
| 1753s | slip knot or the Scimitar first I feel |
| 1755s | like or if they're going to try and pick |
| 1756s | off the low end uh well that comes |
| 1758s | through but |
| 1760s | um oh I I wasn't owed inside I'd be |
| 1762s | loved to just like probably shred from |
| 1764s | the bottom up just get rid of all that |
| 1766s | support and all that cheap DPS the |
| 1768s | circle and the side fleets I'd love to |
| 1770s | just see that pop right away |
| 1772s | gonna be a game of pick a Target kill |
| 1774s | tug for um for Odin's call and voltage |
| 1776s | need to try and get in there and grab |
| 1777s | something big and juicy and kill it fast |
| 1779s | as the match is now underway |
| 1782s | so obviously um we have volte here with |
| 1784s | the advantage of having a T2 large here |
| 1786s | the Scimitar versus the Osprey T1 uh uh |
| 1790s | cardario one on the Odin side so we'll |
| 1792s | see how this Stacks up obviously they |
| 1794s | have to sacrifice make sacrifices |
| 1795s | somewhere bringing two Bargas right now |
| 1797s | but no flagships are on grid for this |
| 1799s | match as well as we do have them |
| 1801s | underway Minotaur Rush particularly |
| 1802s | rushing in getting into the bar guest of |
| 1804s | yokan right away |
| 1805s | looks like uh the rapid Heavies wrapper |
| 1808s | lights going for that Scimitar first I |
| 1809s | think they might switch off and go for |
| 1810s | the uh side Fleet instead which yep they |
| 1812s | are definitely about to hit him with a |
| 1814s | lot of damage safely and sniper fleet's |
| 1816s | a great DPS but the tank is not the best |
| 1818s | of things as you can see that's a fleet |
| 1820s | of a staffly commander getting deleted |
| 1822s | in seconds by this uh rapid light comp |
| 1824s | absolutely vanished to see if they have |
| 1826s | enough clip to start popping into the |
| 1827s | rest of the stuff or maybe if the |
| 1829s | Scimitar gets to run into range I'll get |
| 1830s | it of note there's no tracking guidance |
| 1832s | disruptors uh only one that looks like |
| 1834s | on the bar guest of yokan there but full |
| 1836s | tracking disruptors going onto the |
| 1838s | filter side of things likely coming in |
| 1839s | from these Jack doors and the storks so |
| 1842s | a good car to play to the mentor rush |
| 1844s | you would say but then again Rush gets |
| 1845s | right in your face and doesn't really |
| 1846s | care that much |
| 1848s | and that bug is very much held down but |
| 1850s | even if they lose it at the moment |
| 1851s | they're not doing too particularly bad |
| 1852s | they're going for all these uh pretty |
| 1854s | squishy uh T1 Cruisers and honestly the |
| 1857s | the sapper fleet's more of a you know |
| 1859s | bigger frigate anyway so that should be |
| 1861s | a pretty easy kill actually they're |
| 1862s | going for the Scimitar next just going |
| 1863s | to delete Planet Six you are not allowed |
| 1865s | to do your amazing uh lodgy Wizardry |
| 1867s | here you are being removed sir |
| 1870s | absolutely fantastic play there's just |
| 1871s | finishing the clip probably just keeping |
| 1873s | eyes on the semi he wasn't maybe in a |
| 1875s | good best position to start to finish |
| 1876s | him off but you know maybe just drift |
| 1878s | into range lost a bit of focus and just |
| 1879s | pecked off right there |
| 1880s | um but the broadcast of yo can still get |
| 1882s | into low armor they're likely going to |
| 1883s | lose this but the Osprey are doing a |
| 1884s | fantastic job of toast here keeping him |
| 1886s | up but looks like the broadsword on tick |
| 1889s | tock on Volta side is creeping up to |
| 1890s | that Osprey he's probably gonna grab it |
| 1892s | now and they're going to be following |
| 1893s | into him he's definitely going to go for |
| 1895s | my I wonder if he's gonna get in range |
| 1896s | he's got a 20 kilometer scram range so |
| 1897s | see if you can get in there the uh well |
| 1899s | I guess does go down yeah |
| 1902s | oh he got caught honestly it's a T1 |
| 1905s | Osprey so probably it's the worst of |
| 1907s | losses they can trade for a bunch more |
| 1909s | DPS ships and potentially even tackle |
| 1911s | ships they should come out comfortably |
| 1913s | ahead in this should be so now they're |
| 1915s | going to have a challenge of here like |
| 1917s | what do they want to finish off one bar |
| 1918s | gets down they're probably on reload now |
| 1920s | a bit of a slack so um luckily if the |
| 1922s | Scimitar down they don't need to |
| 1923s | coordinate their reloads that well it's |
| 1924s | only at the slifter maybe you want to |
| 1925s | coordinate to read those to burst |
| 1927s | through that Excel ASB but there is a |
| 1929s | lot of stuff literally once they come |
| 1931s | and free those they can just start |
| 1932s | pumping into things as the Osprey goes |
| 1934s | down no one really carrying reps at this |
| 1935s | stage now it's just gonna be who can |
| 1937s | kill the most stuff in a short amount of |
| 1938s | time as Odin's will be looking to kite |
| 1940s | away from this Minotaur AC Rush |
| 1943s | exactly that and the two simples the uh |
| 1945s | Broad Sword and this type of Fleet and I |
| 1947s | guess even the flight catcher are going |
| 1948s | to be the core for this comp now for uh |
| 1949s | the Volta they need to grab things for |
| 1951s | the Scimitar sorry the submissions can |
| 1952s | kill it |
| 1953s | so we can see already uh audience |
| 1955s | already know that and going okay kill |
| 1957s | simple first probably kill the second |
| 1958s | swivel or even the stab of Fleet just |
| 1960s | remove as much tackle as possible to |
| 1961s | make it near impossible to catch us |
| 1963s | I mean they're fantastic ships to get |
| 1965s | rid of I mean as football a t3d it can |
| 1967s | do I think upwards of 600 DPS if you |
| 1969s | feel right it obviously has tackles and |
| 1971s | all the modes you can do fantastic |
| 1972s | things we've seen the Stagger Fleet |
| 1974s | issues the side Fleet issues also just |
| 1976s | being ridiculous points values um so |
| 1978s | great choices to get rid of the field |
| 1980s | obviously the longer you leave them they |
| 1981s | have the thread not only the damage but |
| 1983s | the tackle like you said just giving the |
| 1984s | potential here for urgents to keep |
| 1985s | running away and take advantage of this |
| 1987s | long range that they have |
| 1989s | it looks like they're putting damage |
| 1991s | down to a character and an offspring |
| 1992s | maybe a bit of split DPS there but |
| 1993s | honestly they're not particularly tanky |
| 1995s | ships anyway so both could be |
| 1996s | potentially either pretty easily killed |
| 1998s | seeing the broadsword now being the |
| 2000s | primary |
| 2001s | so normally what you would have seen at |
| 2003s | this point with Odin's maybe losing |
| 2005s | their Osprey teams we normally have gone |
| 2006s | into a starburst fashion of just you |
| 2008s | know spread around make sure like cool |
| 2009s | you know the grab our caracal the |
| 2011s | caramel caracal which goes down now |
| 2013s | let's make sure there's not something |
| 2014s | next to it but Odin's actually kind of |
| 2016s | staying in formation here uh going |
| 2017s | around so I'm not sure this is to the |
| 2019s | advantage or to the detriment right now |
| 2021s | but it does mean that every time Volta |
| 2023s | kills something there is a follow-up |
| 2024s | Target right next to them to keep that |
| 2026s | momentum going so Odin's doing a good |
| 2028s | job of putting some pickles but they're |
| 2030s | going to have two tanky sectors left so |
| 2032s | also not as well that they're going for |
| 2034s | the Odin's called Jack doors they've |
| 2036s | been providing tracking the shops on |
| 2037s | these slept news for quite some time |
| 2039s | I think I think they're tracking |
| 2040s | something at least they should be coming |
| 2042s | from there we see the tracking |
| 2043s | instructor slowly falling off the last |
| 2044s | jackdawg going down there the stork |
| 2046s | maybe might have some but I think that's |
| 2048s | going to be the last word is seen at the |
| 2049s | proper Eagle support platforms here |
| 2051s | playing flags are coming from the stork |
| 2052s | but we're I mean it was the second |
| 2055s | already in half Shield let's see how |
| 2056s | good he manages his xlbsd charges but |
| 2058s | it's still got a chunky bar guys to get |
| 2060s | through namely he's nowhere again and an |
| 2062s | author so it's can like the out kite |
| 2063s | them |
| 2065s | um we'll see what they managed to catch |
| 2067s | that's gonna be the question can they |
| 2069s | catch anything now that slip near is uh |
| 2070s | is surviving at the moment I suspect you |
| 2072s | may go down |
| 2074s | there is a there is a you know there is |
| 2076s | a potential route for victory here but |
| 2077s | it is not an easy one by any stretching |
| 2079s | imagination they have to try and tackle |
| 2080s | a tackle three different kiting cruises |
| 2083s | I mean we could be seen a Reload |
| 2085s | Happening Here Right Now if this step |
| 2086s | now is kind of stabilizing unfortunately |
| 2088s | I don't think a Reload is fast enough on |
| 2091s | the Excel busy side I think it takes |
| 2092s | about one minute versus a 40 second |
| 2094s | reload on rapid so even if these Rapids |
| 2097s | go on cooldown it's not enough time to |
| 2099s | read out there as you see probably the |
| 2100s | reload finishing here the setner going |
| 2102s | now into low armor although it looks |
| 2103s | like they're damaging that fly catcher |
| 2105s | first huh why is any guard debt not |
| 2108s | moving at all |
| 2109s | like at all just no movement |
| 2112s | uh nothing in chat so who knows but uh |
| 2115s | easy pickings whose links are still |
| 2117s | firing maybe it's a disconnect or maybe |
| 2119s | it just burnt out his mlod and felt |
| 2121s | control space is the way to go |
| 2124s | um |
| 2126s | disconnect yeah maybe could be just |
| 2128s | accepting her Fate To be honest |
| 2131s | it could be I mean it's a full |
| 2132s | likelihood some people might have worked |
| 2134s | out the modules of the stage I mean it |
| 2135s | was a high Pursuit Chase filter training |
| 2137s | look what they can grab luckily Volta |
| 2139s | will not be out from this match this is |
| 2141s | the best of three |
| 2142s | um but that will be mean that whatever |
| 2144s | Odin has filled there will be uh banned |
| 2146s | in the next match for them so they will |
| 2147s | be unable to take this winning comp of |
| 2150s | the bar gas and the full rapid light to |
| 2152s | Rapid Heavies into the next match so we |
| 2154s | might just see um Volta do a repetition |
| 2156s | of the rush or change things up we'll |
| 2158s | see but always exciting to see you know |
| 2161s | some execution uh happening here and |
| 2163s | just the movement that Odin's displayed |
| 2165s | was still quite well I think |
| 2167s | and also just kind of good to see look |
| 2169s | how tankier something can be on its own |
| 2171s | it has a you know limited life cycle but |
| 2173s | it's great DPS great speed good enough |
| 2176s | tank for a short period of time it's |
| 2177s | actually giving this Osprey Navy an |
| 2178s | absolute headache on his own |
| 2182s | yeah chasing down there going to mgdb |
| 2184s | I'm not sure if the Osprey is going to |
| 2185s | try and do anything funny here uh no |
| 2188s | he's just going to try and maneuver and |
| 2189s | see if he can dodge this hope everyone |
| 2190s | comes with reload to save his uh save |
| 2193s | him there but he's into armor trying to |
| 2195s | do a bit of transversal that's going to |
| 2197s | help against the ACs I think he's likely |
| 2199s | going to go down to a voltage going to |
| 2200s | score a bit more kills here not that it |
| 2202s | truly really matters I believe |
| 2206s | yeah I'm expecting this guy to die yeah |
| 2209s | it looks like he's finally going into |
| 2210s | armor that could be the rapid clip |
| 2212s | though that could also be the rapid clip |
| 2213s | right there I mean it would have been |
| 2215s | hilarious if the bar gas and author is |
| 2217s | all burnt out their guns and then just a |
| 2219s | snapner cleaning up house against these |
| 2221s | you know really crippled high-end ships |
| 2223s | but he's going into structure now and |
| 2225s | actually finally goes down so that we |
| 2227s | see Odin's taking the first victory in |
| 2229s | this best of three against fault we form |
| 2230s | Volta and of that we'll send her back to |
| 2232s | the studio |
| 2239s | [Music] |
| 2255s | thank you |
| 2259s | foreign |
| 2263s | [Music] |
| 2276s | [Music] |
| 2289s | thank you |
| 2303s | [Music] |
| 2318s | Odin's call there taking the first |
| 2319s | victory in this best of three versus we |
| 2322s | form Volta in the winners bracket final |
| 2324s | the overall winner of this match will go |
| 2326s | forward into the Grand Final against the |
| 2329s | loser of this match versus uh the truth |
| 2333s | on the light and whoever wins in that |
| 2334s | one will go forward as well that's the |
| 2335s | losers bracket final I'm joined on the |
| 2337s | desk by mystical Knight and CCP convict |
| 2340s | CCP convict how are you today hi friends |
| 2342s | I'm doing very very well I'm excited |
| 2343s | that the finals are finally upon us uh |
| 2345s | not only because I'm looking forward to |
| 2347s | having next weekend off but also because |
| 2349s | I really want to find out who's going to |
| 2350s | take this thing home oh me too and I |
| 2353s | hope it's Walter |
| 2354s | um so excuse me you're here in |
| 2356s | Nottingham with us doing this and you |
| 2357s | were working last week from Reykjavik |
| 2360s | yeah and you've been in charge of the |
| 2361s | twitch Channel Point predictions yes |
| 2363s | tell I've done this as well the most |
| 2365s | stressful job yes that anyone working on |
| 2367s | the alliance tournament can have because |
| 2368s | unbelievable when there's like a million |
| 2370s | and a half Channel points on every |
| 2372s | single one like and you have to like the |
| 2374s | 60 matches and all I have to do is press |
| 2377s | the wrong one once right and people will |
| 2381s | never forget that betrayal yeah like |
| 2382s | they'll never live it down my name will |
| 2384s | be mud so because as well it's like you |
| 2386s | watch A Match it's just happened you're |
| 2387s | like hey we find Volta audience call you |
| 2389s | watch it you see everyone winning and |
| 2391s | then it gets to the end and you have to |
| 2393s | click who wins yeah okay I collect |
| 2395s | Odin's call and then it says are you |
| 2397s | sure and suddenly like well actually oh |
| 2399s | geez no no I'm not sure no I have a |
| 2401s | mantra that I do so like I watched the |
| 2402s | end of the match and who whichever team |
| 2404s | has won I just start saying to myself |
| 2406s | like tuskers have one tuskers have one |
| 2409s | tuskers have one until I finish the |
| 2411s | process of physically clicking on it and |
| 2413s | the last weekend and during the trials I |
| 2415s | was just basically doing it from you |
| 2417s | know like the comfort of my bedroom so |
| 2418s | my eccentricities didn't sort of bother |
| 2420s | anyone but doing it here when I'm in a |
| 2422s | room with 10 other people every time I |
| 2423s | start doing that they're like this is |
| 2425s | crazy man you don't understand the |
| 2427s | pressure I could just say a conflict in |
| 2429s | the background every now and just like |
| 2430s | this team has won and then he'll look |
| 2433s | around in the chair while saying it just |
| 2434s | to look at other people's reactions to |
| 2436s | make sure he's saying the right team |
| 2438s | validation yeah it's scary scary man |
| 2440s | well a couple times last week I remember |
| 2441s | seeing in our production chat like a |
| 2443s | match is just finished and you would be |
| 2445s | messaging I was like hey did this this |
| 2446s | team just won right yeah because like |
| 2448s | you know I was also doing like you know |
| 2449s | the giveaways and the the quizzes and |
| 2451s | things like that and I'd be giving out |
| 2452s | skins and prizes and I'd miss the end of |
| 2454s | a match and then I'd be like oh my god |
| 2457s | oh [ __ ] who was that I and so I'd have |
| 2459s | to like Panic ask in this in the Discord |
| 2461s | quick just tell me who won that last |
| 2462s | match so I clicked the right button |
| 2463s | because now they want their points yeah |
| 2464s | so it is really really stressful I had a |
| 2468s | full head of hair when this started |
| 2469s | laughs |
| 2471s | awesome now you're also here to talk to |
| 2472s | us a little bit about Fan Fest so on |
| 2474s | Thursday this week uh CP announced the |
| 2476s | dates for Fan Fest next year the 20th |
| 2479s | anniversary Fan Fest tell me a little |
| 2480s | bit about that okay so Fan Fest if you |
| 2482s | read the announcement is uh taking place |
| 2484s | next year from the 21st to the 22nd of |
| 2486s | September it's back to a three-day event |

| 2490s | where we're kind of like knocking the |
| 2491s | rust off it'll once again be at the |
| 2494s | league of this whole uh Sports Arena |
| 2495s | however uh we've taken on board a lot of |
| 2498s | the feedback that we got from the |
| 2499s | players because it was also a return to |
| 2501s | that venue for the first time since I |
| 2502s | think 2011. so we've taken on a lot of |
| 2505s | the feedback that we got from people |
| 2506s | about how uh you know how they like like |
| 2509s | the venue uh we're basically doubling |
| 2511s | the amount of space that will be |
| 2513s | available to the attendees at the venue |
| 2515s | next year so there's going to be a lot |
| 2516s | more room just for relaxing uh and |
| 2519s | chilling out |
| 2520s | um and tickets are on sale now and |
| 2523s | they're going actually they're going |
| 2524s | really fast like really fast like the |
| 2526s | Giga early bird tickets have all sold |
| 2527s | out there are two of the super early |
| 2529s | bird tickets left so just two as in two |
| 2532s | literally two super early I looked just |
| 2534s | before I worked out here they might have |
| 2535s | even been sold by now |
| 2537s | um but so you get early birds were 159 |
| 2540s | the super early birds are 179 the next |
| 2543s | batch is gonna hit soon and they're like |
| 2545s | a |
| 2546s | 199.99 you'd think so you would think |
| 2548s | you know |
| 2549s | it wouldn't make sense I have a feeling |
| 2551s | it's in that ballpark so yeah grab your |
| 2553s | tickets you know uh get in early and uh |
| 2557s | secure those for you because they're |
| 2558s | only just going to like sort of like |
| 2559s | keep going up over time fomo was a great |
| 2562s | technique for selling tickets |
| 2563s | everyone does it if you've bought |
| 2565s | tickets to anything that's how it rolls |
| 2567s | so yeah get in early have no regrets uh |
| 2569s | about uh buying your tickets later I |
| 2571s | went to the 10-year anniversary Fan Fest |
| 2573s | in 2013 and it was awesome there were so |
| 2576s | many cool events and things like that |
| 2577s | yeah so I can't wait for this 20-year |
| 2579s | anniversary one I know right actually |
| 2580s | the 2013 Fan Fest was the very first Fan |
| 2582s | Fest I attended and I had uh such an |
| 2585s | awesome time there I just went to every |
| 2587s | Fan Fest for the next like five years in |
| 2590s | a row I think they still use that |
| 2591s | marketing photo of you with the panda |
| 2593s | glove thing when I saw that that blew my |
| 2595s | mind CCP Falcon chose that they were |
| 2597s | stupid I think it was for Fan Fest 2017. |
| 2599s | he just like was going through the |
| 2601s | photos from 2016 and he's like that one |
| 2603s | and so I just like opened the launcher |
| 2606s | one day and there's my stupid head uh as |
| 2608s | the thumbnail for the news article is |
| 2609s | hysterical I'm on I'm on one of the news |
| 2611s | articles for the pub crawl with there's |
| 2614s | a picture of me and CP |
| 2619s | to do that soon again yes yeah exactly |
| 2621s | that's right so the pub crawl by the way |
| 2624s | if you do go to The Fan Fest make sure |
| 2625s | you go on that because it's awesome I |
| 2626s | think the tickets are separate is that |
| 2627s | right there are separate that we |
| 2629s | separate tickets for the pub crawl for |
| 2630s | the Sisters of Eve and probably a few |
| 2632s | other events around it that will be sort |
| 2633s | of like releasing you know soon TM but |
| 2636s | if you go to eveonline.com FanFest |
| 2638s | there's a breakdown there of what |
| 2640s | tickets are available now it also has |
| 2641s | travel information uh information about |
| 2643s | deals with Iceland Air and so forth so |
| 2645s | that's a good place to start but the |
| 2647s | first place is to lock in the ticket and |
| 2648s | then you can do the add-ons later as |
| 2649s | they get released yeah the Harper which |
| 2651s | is the venue we should use a bunch uh is |
| 2653s | a really cool venue but what was used |
| 2655s | last year like the aesthetic inside was |
| 2658s | super cool it was made up to like a |
| 2660s | station inside and it was all dark and |
| 2662s | Moody it's kind of like like this uh is |
| 2664s | it going to be similar to that again it |
| 2666s | will be but I I think we maybe make it |
| 2668s | just a little a little less darker and a |
| 2670s | little less Moody keep the Sci-Fi sort |
| 2672s | of aesthetic and by just dial it up a |
| 2674s | bit make it uh maybe less like this and |
| 2676s | more like g244 or something like that |
| 2678s | you know |
| 2679s | um but but yeah that is one of the great |
| 2680s | things about the lay of the sort of |
| 2682s | venue is the fact that unlike Harper who |
| 2684s | are you know it's a beautiful gorgeous |
| 2686s | building but they're very particular |
| 2687s | about what you can do to the to the |
| 2689s | building to the space uh lay this off |
| 2692s | it's like hey can we cover this wall in |
| 2693s | a huge vinyl print out and can we like |
| 2695s | just knock that window out and put |
| 2697s | something else in there or can we do |
| 2698s | something weird with yellow it is |
| 2699s | they're like go for your life no problem |
| 2701s | so yeah we really got carte blanche to |
| 2703s | kind of like really shape the space and |
| 2705s | try and make it sort of exude as much |
| 2707s | Eve online as possible awesome and since |
| 2709s | you've been over here and joining us |
| 2711s | last week as well remotely what's been |
| 2712s | your favorite bits of Alliance |
| 2713s | tournament 18 thus far oh |
| 2715s | um |
| 2717s | okay so uh I think the first thing that |
| 2720s | comes to mind is I think last Sunday |
| 2721s | there was a match between uh hiddenly |
| 2723s | Village and arrival and it was the match |
| 2725s | where like there was the the hero |
| 2727s | ejector that was literally too angry to |
| 2729s | die |
| 2730s | um sort of like survived in five percent |
| 2732s | whole book got back up to four Shields |
| 2733s | did eventually [ __ ] it and then uh the |
| 2736s | immediate lodgy work on that match from |
| 2738s | howling wind is what stuck in my mind I |
| 2739s | liked it so much when I wrote last |
| 2741s | week's uh Community |
| 2742s | um beat blog uh I just sort of plucked |
| 2745s | that out and stuck it in the blog just |
| 2746s | for people to click on and go watch |
| 2747s | because it was fantastic most recently |
| 2749s | though I mean yesterday's matches were |
| 2752s | absolutely some of the best there were |
| 2753s | so many swinging matches so many which |
| 2755s | come down to three or four ships trying |
| 2757s | to see who's going to get those last two |
| 2758s | to three points just to get the leg over |
| 2760s | their opponent before the time runs out |
| 2762s | but probably that reverse tie down match |
| 2764s | between templates and was it templates |
| 2766s | and odins yes yesterday uh I can't |
| 2770s | remember the last time I watched the |
| 2771s | reverse tie-dye match in the alliance |
| 2773s | tournament and it always gets super hype |
| 2774s | especially considering it managed to get |
| 2775s | up to like 350 percent or something so |
| 2778s | to me that was pretty high I really |
| 2781s | really digged it awesome now mystical |
| 2783s | mate uh we just watched the first match |
| 2784s | in the best of three between Weaver and |
| 2786s | Volta and Odin's call uh where Odin's |
| 2788s | cult took the victory so they're now in |
| 2790s | a series Point essentially if they win |
| 2792s | this next match and they go forward to |
| 2794s | the winners bracket final |
| 2796s | um there is a set of Conquest spans now |
| 2797s | for this particular match coming up |
| 2799s | where the Odin's called team and |
| 2802s | Anderville to team can't bring any of |
| 2804s | the ships fielded by Odin's call now |
| 2806s | what happened to that last match uh |
| 2808s | break it down for me a little bit what |
| 2809s | went wrong with the Volta team what went |
| 2811s | well for Odin's call |
| 2812s | okay I'm just gonna reset my brain |
| 2814s | because I was thinking about all the fun |
| 2815s | fun things I'm going to do in Fan Fest |
| 2817s | next year but um no what happened last |
| 2820s | match was that the Volta team brought a |
| 2822s | member Tire Rush set up and they went up |
| 2823s | against a kiting bar guest Focus kind of |
| 2826s | core setup with a bunch of Navy Ospreys |
| 2828s | and stuff as well to support them uh it |
| 2831s | seems like the fleet size they're not |
| 2832s | known to be the tankiest ships in the |
| 2834s | game but they are one of the fastest so |
| 2836s | they rammed him really quickly to nail |
| 2838s | down some targets presumably |
| 2840s | um and died |
| 2841s | the Scimitar then proceeded to die uh |
| 2844s | because you know when you're going up |
| 2845s | against the bar guest setup with navy |
| 2846s | Ospreys they can project fairly far so |
| 2850s | it's kind of hard to be outside of their |
| 2852s | range but also in range of your own team |
| 2853s | to ensure that your team doesn't feed so |
| 2856s | uh I think it's more of a meta matchup |
| 2858s | where they've kind of fell apart which |
| 2861s | is where Walter fell short I think if it |
| 2863s | was down to execution if they were both |
| 2865s | in execution comps it would be a lot |
| 2867s | closer than it was |
| 2868s | um I don't know if we ever got |
| 2869s | confirmation on whether there was a |
| 2870s | flagship fielded I don't think there was |
| 2872s | but |
| 2873s | I don't know if you know I don't know |
| 2875s | right these details okay that's fine |
| 2877s | keep your secrets |
| 2879s | but yeah no I think it was just a case |
| 2882s | of uh Volta brought something that |
| 2884s | didn't necessarily perform well in that |
| 2885s | matchup and I don't think they can |
| 2886s | really hold it against themselves uh |
| 2888s | they just need to |
| 2889s | keep the right mindset and come into |
| 2891s | second match prepared awesome awesome |
| 2893s | now |
| 2894s | um no flagships I've just been told okay |
| 2897s | um so during the week between weekend |
| 2899s | one and weekend two a bunch of the |
| 2900s | alliance tournament crew were sat down |
| 2903s | here in antenna and then just basically |
| 2905s | set upon by very difficult questions and |
| 2908s | which has now been edited into basically |
| 2910s | make us look like fools so I think we're |
| 2912s | gonna watch the first of that right now |
| 2913s | we had |
| 2915s | hahaha |
| 2917s | [Music] |
| 2927s | Tom uh arunin last okay I'm gonna say |
| 2932s | Tama I'm going with Tama because it is |
| 2935s | the greatest system of all time |
| 2937s | [Music] |
| 2938s | Tama I'll go with |
| 2941s | Tama |
| 2946s | oh solitude |
| 2948s | I'm gonna say Solitude uh let's go with |
| 2952s | Solitude then I like that place |
| 2954s | um |
| 2955s | Solitude |
| 2957s | um Plus |
| 2959s | [Music] |
| 2962s | so it'll be five plus five plus five |
| 2965s | plus nine which is 24 24. I'm |
| 2970s | visualizing a triangle back right now |
| 2972s | and I'm gonna go with 24. 27. |
| 2979s | 27. thank you |
| 2981s | 27 |
| 2982s | [Music] |
| 2993s | I'll say Teresa |
| 2997s | I think it's the first one Horrible's |
| 3000s | accio |
| 3009s | from Heiser and to not saying thank you |
| 3014s | okay |
| 3015s | [Music] |
| 3023s | I don't know it's like is it an Inn's |
| 3025s | mother or something I've got no idea uh |
| 3028s | catch |
| 3030s | uh I believe it's antennas |
| 3034s | [Music] |
| 3036s | why are you gonna pick some difficult |
| 3038s | questions that is MNC |
| 3044s | MNC |
| 3048s | foreign |
| 3057s | there's a lot of stuff in new Eden yeah |
| 3060s | yeah Eva's hard yeah I thought like they |
| 3062s | were like oh we're gonna make some cool |
| 3064s | questions about stuff and I thought it |
| 3065s | was gonna be like nice simple questions |
| 3066s | like which system is the most popular |
| 3068s | trade Hub yeah oh what is The Only Name |
| 3070s | system in Syndicate yeah easy questions |
| 3073s | I think that actually came up at later |
| 3075s | on in there because I can't remember I |
| 3077s | think that was the question to see if |
| 3078s | they were awake oh right I think any |
| 3079s | points for the point like uh it's the |
| 3081s | old bait switcher right that's the easy |
| 3083s | one up front and then they slap you with |
| 3084s | the hearts yeah and they got harder they |
| 3086s | got a lot harder these were the easy |
| 3088s | questions so uh there's a couple more of |
| 3090s | those videos which we'll play a little |
| 3091s | bit later on uh now let's look forward |
| 3093s | to our next match between we from Volta |
| 3094s | and Odin's call so as mentioned there is |
| 3096s | a series of bands and Conquest bands so |
| 3098s | let's have a look at some of these bands |
| 3100s | for this upcoming match |
| 3103s | so these are the regular bands these are |
| 3105s | bands that still apply just like normal |
| 3107s | um and the conquest bands are on top of |
| 3108s | this so we from Walter Banning out the |
| 3110s | abaddin the balgorn and the Scorpion |
| 3112s | Navy issue Odin's called Banning out the |
| 3114s | Nighthawk the hyena and the jackdaw Mr |
| 3116s | Gourmet any thoughts on this I like the |
| 3118s | hyena injector bands we've seen we've |
| 3120s | been seeing more jackdaw bands as the |
| 3121s | tournament has progressed simply because |
| 3123s | I think the armor Jackal variant that |
| 3125s | we've been seeing is extremely strong |
| 3127s | being able to fit a lot of missile |
| 3129s | guidance disruptors and tracking |
| 3130s | disruptors in its mid slots uh the hyena |
| 3132s | I think obviously makes sense against a |
| 3134s | we form vaulted team I think you haven't |
| 3136s | really seen a waveform vaulted team |
| 3137s | performing an at if they haven't flown |
| 3139s | or fielded a hyena I remember in my time |
| 3142s | on the Wii from Volta team but hyena was |
| 3145s | basically the linchpin ship in a lot of |
| 3146s | comps that we had times may have changed |
| 3148s | but therons and Annie are still the lead |
| 3150s | Theory Crafters so I'm sure that's still |
| 3152s | the same general concept that they're |
| 3154s | going to have with a lot of their setups |
| 3156s | um and yeah I mean the Nighthawk I think |
| 3158s | is just something that we we see a lot |
| 3159s | in strong setups |
| 3161s | um some armor Nighthawks from the old |
| 3163s | tuskers team which is a fairly new take |
| 3165s | on it but otherwise just an extremely |
| 3167s | strong ship overall |
| 3169s | awesome let's take a look at the |
| 3170s | conquest bands now and see how they |
| 3172s | might affect it so these are the Rolling |
| 3174s | Conquest bands so in this match in |
| 3175s | addition to the bands we just saw it can |
| 3178s | also both teams cannot bring a bar guest |
| 3180s | a jackdaw a caracal a arthrus a catechol |
| 3183s | Navy issue a stork and Osprey and in |
| 3186s | Osprey Navy issue now didn't one of the |
| 3189s | teams ban the jackdaw yes Odin's because |
| 3191s | Odin's can't feel it no okay uh because |
| 3195s | my understanding is a conquest spans |
| 3197s | only the team that one with them cannot |
| 3199s | fall uh from this so you are correct |
| 3201s | there right good point uh good point |
| 3203s | website this is why we get to you on the |
| 3204s | desk yeah make us look good yes and uh |
| 3207s | see if you're coming you support that |
| 3208s | out well done thank you I remember the |
| 3210s | thing did I do good so Misty how do you |
| 3214s | think these Conquest bands are going to |
| 3215s | affect the uh the audience team here I |
| 3218s | think it's when when you get to these |
| 3221s | the stage in the tournament where you |
| 3222s | have to think about the conquest bands |
| 3224s | and how it impacts what you can bring in |
| 3225s | future what you're going to see is a lot |
| 3227s | of duplicate ships which is also fairly |
| 3229s | difficult in this format because we do |
| 3232s | add on a point to each of the duplicates |
| 3233s | that you bring So eventually they all |
| 3235s | cost a lot more than they usually do in |
| 3237s | general so it reduces what you can |
| 3239s | actually bring in your setup because |
| 3240s | everything's more expensive but the |
| 3243s | benefit of bringing duplicate ships is |
| 3244s | that you are essentially banned out of |
| 3246s | fewer ships if you do win which leaves |
| 3248s | open a lot more in the way of uh |
| 3251s | potential Theory crafting setups that |
| 3253s | you've got on hand for these for these |
| 3256s | instances so |
| 3257s | um I don't think it will necessarily |
| 3258s | hurt odens too much they've played the |
| 3260s | most matches I think of any team in this |
| 3262s | tournament I think they've got other |
| 3264s | comments up there sleeve that they can |
| 3265s | bring I do really like this here how the |
| 3267s | conquest bands work with the points |
| 3270s | inflation as you pointed out uh |
| 3271s | previously Conquest bands were just a |
| 3273s | thing they just existed so you would see |
| 3274s | teams bringing uh as few ships in a |
| 3276s | compass possible to avoid getting lots |
| 3279s | of shots banned out but of course you |
| 3280s | can still do that at it's just going to |
| 3282s | cost you more points so now there's a |
| 3283s | trade-off whether you're going to do |
| 3284s | that or not now I want to take a quick |
| 3286s | look at the the path that these teams |
| 3288s | have gone through to get to where they |
| 3289s | are now so Odin's call uh I mean let's |
| 3292s | not even discuss the uh what happened in |
| 3293s | the feeders because it was absolutely |
| 3294s | brutal for them but they went through |
| 3296s | paper numbers nanofiber tokens Templars |
| 3299s | calcif and the tuskers call to reach |
| 3302s | this point here um going up against we |
| 3304s | form Volta uh I do believe they won |
| 3306s | against |
| 3308s | um uh Temple's calcif on that graphic |
| 3310s | you're seeing on the screen right now |
| 3312s | um Volta on the other hand went through |
| 3313s | root Capel pandemic horrored Platinum |
| 3316s | sensitivity and lock range enjoyers |
| 3319s | there we go we can see that there and |
| 3321s | the last matches in fact Volta drops in |
| 3323s | Alliance tournament uh history it was |
| 3325s | last year in the Grand Final versus |
| 3327s | Hydra reloaded so they haven't actually |
| 3329s | lost a match since then despite only |
| 3331s | playing four which is what you do when |
| 3332s | you uh when you just win you play less |
| 3333s | matches yeah but you don't get that many |
| 3335s | skins if you just win all your matches |
| 3337s | so it doesn't really count it's fine is |
| 3340s | it worth it yes is it worth it yes 100 |
| 3342s | is it worth it for you but you don't |
| 3344s | have to play the matches yeah especially |
| 3345s | yeah and what about the people who have |
| 3347s | to sit there and do potentially 11 |
| 3348s | matches today |
| 3350s | free kill meals it's fine it's all good |
| 3352s | I had nothing to worry about I'm looking |
| 3354s | forward for some expensive cow meals |
| 3356s | hopefully later on today because I do |
| 3358s | believe all these teams still have their |
| 3359s | flagships and I'm pretty sure all these |
| 3362s | teams are uh deep pocket enjoyers so |
| 3364s | they're gonna have lots of isk to Splash |
| 3366s | on these especially teams like truth on |
| 3368s | a light uh this is the team that was |
| 3370s | Hydra reloaded last year so they won |
| 3371s | they took home a whole bunch of ships |
| 3374s | um I think somewhere in the region of |
| 3376s | maybe four to five trillion is worth of |
| 3378s | prize ships last year so they're gonna |
| 3380s | have some nice big coffers to be able to |
| 3383s | you know fit up these flagships let's go |
| 3385s | Mike what did what goes through team's |
| 3386s | Minds trying to fit up flagships what's |
| 3388s | their what's the concept well I guess it |
| 3391s | depends which year we're talking last |
| 3392s | year when you had access to Abyssal |
| 3394s | modules it was a lot easier because |
| 3396s | essentially you just threw isk at it and |
| 3398s | then you got the max role that you could |
| 3399s | and you slept it on your Flagship it's |
| 3401s | fine this year when we go back to the |
| 3403s | old rules of only having certain types |
| 3405s | of modules like officer modules and also |
| 3407s | some Dead Space modules fitting becomes |
| 3409s | quite an issue because certain officer |
| 3411s | modules were meant to be fit on bigger |
| 3413s | ships so officer scrams got changed into |
| 3415s | heavy scrams which have a 4K power grid |
| 3419s | requirement when you're fitting them to |
| 3421s | your ship so if you're flying a bar |
| 3422s | guest you have to hit you know 4K power |
| 3425s | grid on your scram you don't have that |
| 3427s | much power grid left really to fit all |
| 3429s | your other modules so that's one of the |
| 3431s | issues that you have to take into |
| 3432s | account but also sourcing these modules |
| 3434s | is extremely difficult especially in an |
| 3436s | at season because the price goes up |
| 3438s | exponentially based on how good you are |
| 3441s | as a team and how far into the |
| 3442s | tournament you currently are if you're |
| 3444s | still trying to Source modules so it's |
| 3446s | very much like a mad scramble to try and |
| 3448s | find people that have the modules in the |
| 3449s | first place and then kind of having to |
| 3451s | settle for the next best if you can't |
| 3453s | actually find the good stuff so it does |
| 3456s | benefit some teams where you've had |
| 3458s | people that have played for 10 15 years |
| 3459s | and maybe they've just acquired modules |
| 3461s | over that time |
| 3462s | but there's nothing to stop you know |
| 3464s | other teams from also finding good |
| 3466s | modules or just killing the enemy |
| 3467s | Flagship and then taking their modules |
| 3469s | yeah we saw uh the vaulted team kill the |
| 3471s | flagship uh Vindicator of platinum |
| 3473s | sensitivity it was about 140 |
| 3475s | billion-esque uh some of the expensive |
| 3477s | stuff dropped if that was perhaps better |
| 3479s | than any stuff on the Vault of Flagship |
| 3480s | they would be able to upgrade their |
| 3481s | Flagship essentially at no cost or at |
| 3483s | least sell it for profit uh now I |
| 3485s | believe we are ready to go to the arena |
| 3486s | for the second match |
| 3489s | of we form Volta versus Odin's call so |
| 3491s | this is going to be a super important |
| 3493s | match for Odin's call if they win this |
| 3495s | they secure themselves that spot in the |
| 3498s | the Grand Final it's also equally as |
| 3500s | important for Volta they're not going to |
| 3502s | be eliminated at this point if they lose |
| 3503s | this match they will just drop down to |
| 3505s | the lower bracket final against truth on |
| 3507s | or light so they still have plenty of |
| 3509s | time to come back and make their way |
| 3510s | back into the final where they would |
| 3512s | face Odin's call in that circumstance |
| 3514s | um but we can go to the arena now and |
| 3516s | see how it goes for both of these teams |
| 3517s | we form Volta versus Odin's call |
| 3525s | and welcome to the arena and uh first |
| 3527s | thing I want to say is um how the turns |
| 3529s | have tabled because we've got a slap |
| 3531s | near order Cannon Rush chasing after a |
| 3533s | missile comp what do you think of this |
| 3534s | one Zoo well I think it's going to be |
| 3536s | interesting definitely you say the turns |
| 3537s | of tables now but what's interesting |
| 3539s | here is Volta has actually brought their |
| 3541s | Flagship bar guest here so they're not |
| 3543s | doing a double bar I guess thank God for |
| 3545s | single Bargas but it is a flagship is |
| 3547s | they're going for two Drake Navy issues |
| 3548s | for uh spilling a heavy missiles so |
| 3551s | they'll be going for long range |
| 3552s | application here and we're just going to |
| 3555s | be checking a quick look at the Ospreys |
| 3556s | Navy issue so those will be rapid lights |
| 3558s | so definitely a long range carry setup |
| 3560s | for Volta as well so we'll see if they |
| 3561s | can do the same execution but they're |
| 3563s | probably going to be loving shooting |
| 3564s | into this free Logie |
| 3566s | yeah I suspect the uh |
| 3568s | frequency is not going to be enjoying |
| 3570s | their life but it's going to be a |
| 3571s | question of what this letters can even |
| 3572s | catch if they can catch anything this is |
| 3573s | again you pretty much the exact same |
| 3575s | match we've had before but kind of in |
| 3576s | reverse |
| 3577s | but the problem that the set team is |
| 3579s | going to be facing here on Odin's core |
| 3580s | is it depends how these three lights are |
| 3582s | fit if if they go full rush in you know |
| 3584s | if the freak Lodge is pure a b they |
| 3585s | might lag behind and not be able to keep |
| 3587s | range but as the match kicks off here |
| 3588s | now we do see these uh fregalogy getting |
| 3590s | some quite velocity so that will not |
| 3592s | actually be an issue of being able to |
| 3593s | apply reps onto the rushcore |
| 3598s | just keeping an ounce of the moment but |
| 3600s | yeah um of course the rush does what |
| 3602s | rushers do simple's being the first |
| 3603s | primary they're pretty good tackle |
| 3604s | shipper next right along the side is |
| 3606s | actually the hurricane Fleet keeping |
| 3607s | Pace with this football |
| 3612s | gets a first Blood uh down there for so |
| 3615s | first flight to Volta with the swivel |
| 3616s | down on Odin's side right now they're |
| 3617s | going for the Vagabond Vagabond rather |
| 3619s | interesting choice but it should also |
| 3620s | have a shield bonus but unfortunately |
| 3622s | doesn't really have the buffer but if |
| 3623s | the missile shots aren't really synced |
| 3625s | up it can really take advantage of the |
| 3626s | combination of the Reps and its own the |
| 3628s | charges if that needs to be so hold on |
| 3630s | to 80 seed as well vagabonds using ADC |
| 3633s | to try and buy some more time try and |
| 3634s | eat through this uh rapid clip but I |
| 3636s | think he's about to get deleted your |
| 3638s | popcorn and we've seen Odin's also put |
| 3640s | in a large EC Cloud here well I'd say |
| 3642s | about three waves of Lights there of ECS |
| 3645s | on this Osprey uh but the Karen goes |
| 3647s | down on the Odin side so first lodgy |
| 3648s | blood in the water here let's see if the |
| 3650s | scalp will anything can keep them up I |
| 3651s | don't think there's any reports who |
| 3652s | support him so the rush side is probably |
| 3654s | getting struckier obviously the flag |
| 3655s | bark is in heavy uh damage here right |
| 3658s | now so not sure if he's going to survive |
| 3659s | this but with Odin's losing their Logic |
| 3662s | support it could be turned around again |
| 3664s | the way this is starting to look it |
| 3665s | looks like a potentially vulture has |
| 3666s | sacrificed their flag bug and |
| 3668s | intentionally or not to potentially win |
| 3670s | this match because they've still got |
| 3671s | their entire card in comp all around |
| 3673s | they've killed off a bunch of ships from |
| 3675s | uh Odin's core here that could be like |
| 3678s | um that could give them the advantage |
| 3679s | they need but it is going to be an |
| 3680s | expensive advantage |
| 3682s | expensive indeed other thing I'm not |
| 3684s | liking to see is the split damage that's |
| 3685s | been happening we've seen a couple of |
| 3687s | ollies going to like slap now a couple |
| 3688s | of others going to the scalpel but they |
| 3690s | decided to actually go for the HFI so |
| 3691s | finish it off but you know if they just |
| 3693s | put those volleys where they were meant |
| 3694s | to be right off the bat you know that uh |
| 3696s | H5 might already be dead right now just |
| 3698s | getting that last chunk of uh it's hell |
| 3700s | just absolutely Stripped Away so it will |
| 3702s | be going now but I don't think it's |
| 3703s | enough from Spar gas yeah as the bar |
| 3704s | goes down flag bugged I'm pretty sure |
| 3706s | there's flag yeah yes it is I double |
| 3709s | check that just to be sure yep that is a |
| 3711s | flag bug us down from Volta |
| 3713s | but luckily this old and cool uh what's |
| 3716s | good um |
| 3717s | something called comp has been pretty |
| 3718s | much stripped of a lot of its ships so |
| 3720s | it should be reasonably easy pickings |
| 3722s | for Volta now but that is still an |
| 3723s | expensive price I'm surprised the |
| 3726s | scalpel on the Odin side is still alive |
| 3728s | you might think something like the |
| 3729s | caracal would just come free though |
| 3730s | during the character Navy issue just ah |
| 3732s | there we go looks like someone is |
| 3733s | finally decided to finish this into that |
| 3735s | scalpel and it's finally down so they're |
| 3737s | probably gonna finish the fly catcher |
| 3738s | then go for the broadsword and then just |
| 3740s | some chunky step news left uh with the |
| 3741s | self-charge but actually they're just |
| 3743s | going to go right for the slapner not go |
| 3744s | for anything else right now |
| 3746s | yep going for something I've got a drake |
| 3747s | maybe held down so you're probably gonna |
| 3748s | start beating on that actually no |
| 3750s | something is leaving |
| 3751s | fair fair |
| 3753s | man that's something actually going done |
| 3754s | fast we actually saw um what Volta when |
| 3756s | they had the stepping on the other side |
| 3758s | obviously you know maybe about their |
| 3759s | ships on grid but it seems like the |
| 3760s | vault is that there's held up a bit |
| 3762s | longer so um and we see some charges |
| 3764s | going in so maybe Colonel Kurt is just |
| 3766s | not being fully awake on those XL ASB |
| 3768s | charges normally that's a module on |
| 3770s | especially something on a slap narrow |
| 3771s | even on something like you know Scimitar |
| 3773s | or just in general that you'll be trying |
| 3775s | to manually fire you generally want to |
| 3777s | order a repeat offs and you want to try |
| 3779s | and time your charges not to over boost |
| 3781s | um but if you're not paying attention |
| 3782s | you can get heavy armor and hope lead |
| 3784s | and might not even be able to use all |
| 3786s | your charges in time |
| 3788s | yeah good fights and locals matches |
| 3790s | definitely over I'm wondering who's |
| 3791s | going to get the uh the shiny loot from |
| 3793s | the Bargas |
| 3795s | well who knows maybe uh |
| 3798s | yeah yeah |
| 3799s | I'll be fine I mean do you think that |
| 3802s | it's worthwhile sacrificing the bar I |
| 3803s | guess do you think a flagborg actually |
| 3805s | pushed it over the edge here or would |
| 3806s | they just have comfortably mopped up |
| 3808s | here as well |
| 3809s | it was definitely a hardcore to see if |
| 3810s | the bug man should get away it would |
| 3812s | have been a very powerful uh force on |
| 3813s | this on this grid but because it got |
| 3815s | caught it's kind of hard to see if it |
| 3817s | gained potentially anything |
| 3819s | maybe got own school's attention they |
| 3821s | were able to they were pretty much like |
| 3822s | laser focused on the flag it it is |
| 3825s | honestly a hard like call to make there |
| 3827s | in the situation it was in there if if |
| 3829s | Owens were going to go for the bug |
| 3830s | anyway then it was not worth it but if |
| 3833s | because they went for it because it was |
| 3835s | a flag bug it was probably 100 worth it |
| 3838s | for the win |
| 3838s | very true unfortunately the other side |
| 3841s | to take care of the Minotaur rush I feel |
| 3842s | is like it doesn't have much mid slots |
| 3844s | in the term of e-wars so if you come |
| 3846s | against something tidy even if it's no |
| 3847s | or anything there for me don't have much |
| 3849s | control to you know [ __ ] enemy team |
| 3852s | if they're keeping that range so you |
| 3853s | know something like missile kite we saw |
| 3855s | in the match before we've seen in this |
| 3856s | match missile kite just beats um |
| 3859s | remember to rash hopefully both teams |
| 3860s | are going to do a bit of a better job of |
| 3862s | bands in the next match so we can just |
| 3864s | get a last shake up for what's going to |
| 3865s | be the finals for this series as they're |
| 3868s | just pummly into the broadsword to bring |
| 3869s | it into this one |
| 3872s | Yep looks like uh well well done from |
| 3874s | Volta here it may be an expensive cost |
| 3876s | but it did get them what they wanted |
| 3878s | they've got there when they've got to |
| 3879s | the uh the final round the best of three |
| 3880s | here |
| 3882s | and they've got one last chance to uh |
| 3883s | make it to the finals so what confirming |
| 3886s | matches are pay to win you pay full flag |
| 3887s | you win the match |
| 3889s | oh oh yeah be careful what you said |
| 3891s | there man |
| 3893s | uh but loving to just see what Volta did |
| 3896s | here just showing that they can also |
| 3898s | actually execute this taking the victory |
| 3900s | over owner's call bringing the match |
| 3902s | score up to 1-1 for both the next match |
| 3904s | in the series will see a final close to |
| 3906s | this to the Victor overall and of that |
| 3908s | we're going to be sending it back to the |
| 3909s | studio |
| 3914s | [Music] |
| 3931s | thank you |
| 3935s | guys stop being casual they're really |
| 3937s | bad we should not lose anybody to this |
| 3940s | take the fleet warp everybody warp off |
| 3942s | this is a really really bad execution |
| 3944s | I'm very disappointed |
| 3949s | another great hall back from Omar damn |
| 3952s | I'm thirsty |
| 3971s | Yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP |
| 3974s | collectively so that's why that Alliance |
| 3976s | logo is in the game of course you could |
| 3978s | change your alliance by leaving but that |
| 3979s | would be kind of a jerk move that kind |
| 3982s | of oh you don't like it now it's Lego |
| 3984s | sucks I'm gonna go join |
| 3986s | foreign |
| 4002s | welcome back to the desk we from Volta |
| 4005s | there taking the series to 1-1 against |
| 4007s | Odin's calls we will go to the third |
| 4009s | match in this best of three but |
| 4010s | unfortunately for the Volta team they |
| 4012s | have lost their Flagship bar guys |
| 4014s | piloted there by Annie gardett he flew |
| 4016s | the flagship Bargas last year as well in |
| 4017s | the grand finals versus Hydra to great |
| 4020s | effect really used almost pulling out a |
| 4023s | win in a really critical match in the |
| 4025s | Grand Final unfortunately of course they |
| 4026s | lost the ground Fountain to hydro |
| 4027s | reloaded and but now going forward |
| 4029s | should they make it into the Grand Final |
| 4030s | by winning the next match they will not |
| 4032s | have it so we will we will of course |
| 4034s | look to see what happens there I've just |
| 4036s | received the the kill mail on Zed kill |
| 4038s | for that Flagship Burgers managar debt |
| 4040s | uh lots of red big sad for him uh 82 |
| 4044s | billion isk on the on Zed kill some very |
| 4047s | expensive stuff there I see a 38 |
| 4049s | billionisk damage control uh that is uh |
| 4052s | many many isks now one of the things |
| 4055s | that we sometimes talk about is you hear |
| 4058s | this in Eve as well it's the concept of |
| 4059s | head shotting especially these best of |
| 4061s | matches people then talk about head |
| 4063s | trotting flagships mystical mate talk to |
| 4065s | me about that sure I mean there's a few |
| 4068s | places we could start I guess the one of |
| 4070s | the strengths of the flagship itself is |
| 4072s | the fact that if a ship is banned so |
| 4074s | let's say you ban the ball guest I'm |
| 4076s | still able to bring my Flagship bar |
| 4077s | guest despite that ban so it allows you |
| 4079s | to banivate a little bit |
| 4081s | um the other strength of a flagship is |
| 4082s | that typically you can just splash the |
| 4084s | cash on it so it's super expensive but |
| 4086s | it's also super strong because you're |
| 4087s | getting the best launchers the best |
| 4089s | tackle modules so you can tackle further |
| 4091s | you can shoot faster you can hit harder |
| 4093s | which is great if you're trying to win |
| 4094s | matches by killing the other guy in this |
| 4097s | case head shotting is great for Odin's |
| 4100s | cool because they're already one up in |
| 4101s | the series and by headshotting the Volta |
| 4103s | bar guest it means that they can't bring |
| 4104s | that ball guest ever again in the |
| 4106s | tournament |
| 4107s | so if they do make it through |
| 4109s | um to the finals by beating odins in the |
| 4111s | next match |
| 4112s | there's still a bar guest Flagship down |
| 4115s | um every other team remaining in the |
| 4116s | tournament so far has their Flagship |
| 4117s | still available so it does put them all |
| 4119s | two of them all too I know all two every |
| 4122s | other technically correct yes it sounds |
| 4124s | better when I say everyone else apart |
| 4127s | from Volta as a flagship |
| 4129s | um so both teams still have their |
| 4130s | Flagship available they may still very |
| 4132s | well die in the losers bracket matches |
| 4134s | if odins does end up dropping down but |
| 4137s | it does mean that if Volta drops down |
| 4139s | they're in a much harder position |
| 4139s | against the truth on a light team |
| 4141s | because they don't have that tool to |
| 4143s | lean on so yeah it's just a case of |
| 4145s | whether |
| 4146s | losing 100 billionesque is worth |
| 4149s | potentially advancing to the finals |
| 4151s | where you stand to gain a couple |
| 4152s | trillionesque probably for most people I |
| 4155s | think they'd happily make that trade |
| 4158s | um but yeah it's uh it's a game of like |
| 4160s | inches right so the bar guest is a |
| 4163s | fairly big inch |
| 4165s | of all the inches it's the biggest it is |
| 4167s | the biggest dungeon um no the best |
| 4170s | situation at this point for Volta uh |
| 4172s | really would be for them to defeat |
| 4175s | Odin's call in the next match winning |
| 4177s | the series and securing themselves a |
| 4178s | place in the Grand Final probably |
| 4180s | without killing Odin's Flagship so that |
| 4182s | Odin's then drops down to the lower |
| 4184s | bracket final against truth on or light |
| 4186s | and then we still have Flagship versus |
| 4187s | Flagship and then they would hope to see |
| 4190s | one or both of those flagships die and |
| 4192s | then we'd have a flagship list Grand |
| 4194s | Final it depends on which team you think |
| 4197s | is actually stronger if you think Odin's |
| 4199s | is the strongest team |
| 4201s | and you can kill the flagship and drop |
| 4203s | them down to losers bracket then you can |
| 4204s | still probably also feel feel fairly |
| 4206s | confident that they'll win against truth |
| 4208s | on the light and then you know that they |
| 4209s | don't have that Flagship for the finals |
| 4211s | if you think truth on a light is a |
| 4212s | stronger team then you want to leave |
| 4213s | odins with all of the tools available |
| 4215s | and yeah send them off the losers |
| 4218s | bracket with that Flagship so that they |
| 4219s | can kill each other in that match |
| 4221s | instead so it depends uh also Volta |
| 4224s | doesn't have the best history with |
| 4225s | trying to kill slash let flagships that |
| 4228s | live so maybe maybe we don't make that |
| 4231s | choice you know instead of uh |
| 4233s | yeah I I don't want to go into to some |
| 4237s | of the previous matches where |
| 4238s | flagships have got away from Volta |
| 4240s | before yeah I did believe the famous uh |
| 4242s | kill the battleground don't let him |
| 4243s | boundary quote from Starfleet Commander |
| 4245s | I came back to haunt him later on in |
| 4247s | that Flagship was then used yes it |
| 4249s | didn't die yes uh yeah it wasn't great |
| 4251s | yeah the flag I think it was the tuskers |
| 4253s | flagship it was trying to boundary to |
| 4255s | deny loot to the Volta team so that they |
| 4257s | could upgrade their own Flagship uh |
| 4259s | Starfleet the FC time made the call kill |
| 4261s | that Flagship don't let him boundary and |
| 4263s | then the uh they stopped him from |
| 4264s | rendering but they were unable to kill |
| 4266s | him yeah uh how we stopped him from |
| 4268s | badgering was that we bumped him to face |
| 4269s | back into the arena and then he ended up |
| 4272s | living |
| 4273s | so uh yeah there are certain things that |
| 4276s | you can you can do to hurt yourself |
| 4278s | later on uh I think just killing the |
| 4279s | flagship is probably the best move to be |
| 4281s | honest yeah this is where you get into |
| 4282s | the like outside of a single match meta |
| 4285s | because it's no longer best of ones so |
| 4287s | this stuff now is things to think about |
| 4289s | not only is the same things to think |
| 4290s | about before you go into a match you're |
| 4292s | starting to have to make decisions for |
| 4293s | the next match during a match so if |
| 4296s | you're in they for example match one of |
| 4297s | this best of three and uh Volta from |
| 4299s | themselves in a losing position |
| 4302s | um they were probably aware of that |
| 4303s | losing a position with time left they're |
| 4306s | going to stop thinking about the match |
| 4307s | that we're they're currently in and |
| 4309s | start thinking about the next match how |
| 4311s | intense is that mystical Knight it's |
| 4313s | it's not a great feeling when you need |
| 4315s | to think okay we've definitely lost this |
| 4316s | match what are we going to do next but |
| 4318s | it does make sense to just basically |
| 4320s | disregard everything that's happened so |
| 4321s | far and just focus on the next set of |
| 4323s | matches because the turnaround is so |
| 4324s | quick that you don't really have time to |
| 4327s | go back to your staging system start |
| 4329s | filling up the other ships that you may |
| 4330s | need if you don't already have those |
| 4331s | ready you may need to replace certain |
| 4333s | ships because you have Conquest bands |
| 4335s | also in the mix now so there's a lot of |
| 4337s | thought that needs to go into what |
| 4339s | you're flying over the full range of |
| 4341s | sets that you may be playing |
| 4344s | um |
| 4344s | and over that we have a spreadsheet |
| 4346s | we're just like hundreds of variations |
| 4348s | of different setups that we could |
| 4349s | possibly bring for these circumstances |
| 4351s | where it makes it a little bit easier to |
| 4353s | decide what you're going to do but if |
| 4355s | your opponent throws something at you |
| 4357s | that you've never seen before you then |
| 4358s | also need to go through all of your |
| 4359s | setups and go okay what might be able to |
| 4361s | beat that if we see something like that |
| 4364s | again which is just a lot of stress but |
| 4367s | these teams should be used to it because |
| 4368s | they are all uh findless teams I think I |
| 4372s | believe so and the thing as well about |
| 4374s | these matches is because there are best |
| 4376s | of and because Odin's for example if |
| 4378s | they drop this next match they would go |
| 4380s | into another best of three if they came |
| 4381s | through that be the best of five each |
| 4384s | individual match like anyone who's |
| 4385s | played an alliance tournament match even |
| 4386s | if you're like a newer player and it's |
| 4387s | your first match and you do a tournament |
| 4389s | you maybe go own two those two matches |
| 4391s | are super intense and all the run-up to |
| 4393s | it like the discussing the bands picking |
| 4395s | the bands seeing what bands are coming |
| 4396s | in from your opponents deciding comps |
| 4399s | getting everybody ready making sure no |
| 4400s | one's accidentally got any boosters |
| 4401s | still in their redeem queue making sure |
| 4403s | no one's getting illegal implants all in |
| 4405s | the right fit on the right ships |
| 4406s | sometimes you see confusion with people |
| 4408s | getting into the wrong ships and just |
| 4410s | utter chaos then having to do that for |
| 4412s | Odin's potentially 25 times to get to |
| 4415s | the the end of this uh this tournament |
| 4417s | is just it's such a work yeah we're |
| 4419s | talking about when we're talking about |
| 4421s | Odin's core previously uh you're sort of |
| 4423s | going through there like the bigger |
| 4424s | teams that they had to knock over to get |
| 4425s | through this tournament and you kind of |
| 4426s | alluded to the trials tournament that |
| 4428s | happened but |
| 4429s | um Odin's gained entry to the alliance |
| 4431s | tournament 18 finals buyer the the |
| 4433s | trials that we held and not only that |
| 4435s | they were the Redemption entry winners |
| 4437s | if I remember correctly for the |
| 4438s | nephintar tribe which means they had the |
| 4440s | longest I think the longest path |
| 4442s | possible through the trials and if I |
| 4444s | think if they lose this next match |
| 4445s | they'll go down to the losers bracket |
| 4447s | and if they win that they'll come back |
| 4448s | up to the finals right so they'll have |
| 4450s | also had the longest conceivable par |
| 4452s | through this and I was just saying too |
| 4453s | off camera during that match I mean we'd |
| 4455s | have to you know someone have to do |
| 4456s | numbers get Vitor on this |
| 4458s | um but uh I mean it's not impossible |
| 4460s | that maybe Odin's call by the end of |
| 4462s | this tournament will have had the |
| 4463s | longest campaign you know to the pointy |
| 4466s | end of an wise tournament |
| 4468s | in the history Alliance tournaments I |
| 4469s | don't know I think I think it's 25 |
| 4471s | matches yeah |
| 4472s | um it theoretically could have been more |
| 4475s | if they got knocked down to the lower |
| 4476s | bracket on on weekend one earlier yeah |
| 4478s | in the first match and then came the |
| 4480s | other way through it could have been |
| 4481s | something like 29 |
| 4482s | um not the 25 isn't it no no like that's |
| 4486s | still a fair few number of matches uh to |
| 4488s | do and of course people maybe in |
| 4489s | different time zones things like that of |
| 4491s | course people like Platinum sensitivity |
| 4492s | a lot of their members uh from over in |
| 4494s | Japan having to get up and play God |
| 4496s | knows what time in the morning |
| 4497s | Australian teams uh you've suffered |
| 4499s | through some of this in the in previous |
| 4501s | times yeah I've never played an alliance |
| 4502s | tournament myself but if you're calling |
| 4503s | you read an open I I did participate in |
| 4505s | that and it was like two three in the |
| 4507s | morning for me when we were getting |
| 4508s | started and um uh you know just sort of |
| 4512s | being trying to quiet whisper into the |
| 4513s | microphone while I'm getting ready to do |
| 4515s | this fight so that I don't wake up |
| 4516s | housemates and those kinds of things |
| 4517s | yeah it was a bit of a struggle uh we |
| 4519s | weren't I wasn't necessarily at my best |
| 4520s | that day but at least I had that as an |
| 4521s | excuse for the result and I'm just going |
| 4524s | to say you know think about Wingnut one |
| 4525s | of the commentators for this for this |
| 4527s | Alliance tournament in Australia yeah |
| 4529s | dealing with the latency that that |
| 4531s | brings but also having to wake up and |
| 4533s | then cast a series of matches in a row |
| 4535s | uh yeah I mean any Australians and also |
| 4538s | some of my Japanese friends as well who |
| 4540s | are playing in or producing the at are |
| 4542s | definitely going to bed about seven or |
| 4544s | eight in the morning yeah yeah and he's |
| 4546s | there every single time you turn on a |
| 4548s | some sort of Eve Sport and he's usually |
| 4551s | there with sunglasses yeah microphone |
| 4553s | it's very dedicated that that young man |
| 4556s | is uh now I believe we have some some |
| 4558s | content from CC Aurora um do you want to |
| 4561s | introduce that yeah yeah so um uh as you |
| 4564s | know the uprising expansion came out on |
| 4565s | 8th of November it's been fantastic so |
| 4567s | far it had a whole bunch of new content |
| 4569s | for pretty much touches on every sort of |
| 4571s | corner of new Eden uh whether it's ship |
| 4572s | rebalancing quality of life changes |
| 4574s | frigate holes for Wormhole people but |
| 4576s | also some of the bigger ticket things so |
| 4577s | obviously like the hangers the emblems |
| 4579s | which matter a lot and the new um uh |
| 4582s | frontline's content which is like |
| 4584s | absolutely revitalized faction Warfare |
| 4586s | uh CCP fuzzy said on our Eternal slack |
| 4588s | the other day |
| 4589s | um I I think it was the Saturday after |
| 4591s | Uprising come out or it may have been |
| 4593s | the subsequent Saturday escapes me right |
| 4595s | now but he was uh he was saying that it |
| 4597s | that had overtaken the previous record |
| 4600s | for the most killingest day in faction |
| 4603s | Warfare in the history of new Eden and |
| 4605s | the the previous record was from 2014 or |
| 4607s | something like that and we we would |
| 4609s | Define faction Warfare as like both the |
| 4611s | combatant both the the aggressor and the |
| 4613s | the victim were members of militias in |
| 4615s | that fight so there are obviously some |
| 4617s | bigger days in low Sac you know like |
| 4619s | Rick's javix's fragrant free frols and |
| 4621s | so forth which would Eclipse that but |
| 4622s | it's it's the expansion has led to |
| 4624s | record-setting amounts of combat and |
| 4626s | just this week in our um |
| 4628s | in our hotel room |
| 4630s | um ccpb sorry a little sort of like nerd |
| 4633s | Chateau ccpb has been glued to his |
| 4635s | laptop he's been doing battlefields all |
| 4637s | by himself uh we went on a roam together |
| 4639s | with a couple of renowned F uh FC's uh |
| 4642s | earlier in the week too |
| 4644s | um |
| 4645s | uh CCP Swift Pro Gamer pvping in a |
| 4648s | laptop on his lap using the trackpad no |
| 4650s | mouse couldn't believe it but he was |
| 4652s | just like he's getting dunks left right |
| 4653s | and Center it was amazing to see but yes |
| 4655s | anyway so uh we prepared a bunch of |
| 4658s | videos including this one we're about to |
| 4659s | show you from CCP Aurora where she's |
| 4660s | talking about some of the new content |
| 4662s | that came in the uprising expansion for |
| 4664s | Frontline specifically yeah let's go to |
| 4667s | that now |
| 4674s | coming in Uprising we have a number of |
| 4676s | updates to faction Warfare including new |
| 4678s | complexes for people to take part in new |
| 4681s | systems that impact the war zone and new |
| 4683s | ways to play around those systems as |
| 4685s | well |
| 4685s | by adding additional objectives Beyond |
| 4687s | just your regular complexes we're seeing |
| 4690s | a shake up to the complexes that we're |
| 4692s | adding to faction Warfare with new |
| 4694s | restrictions a large new number of |
| 4696s | complexes and a whole lot more variety |
| 4698s | for you to play with the faction Warfare |
| 4701s | system that you've become accustomed to |
| 4702s | is still there it's forming the |
| 4705s | foundation of the uprising expansion but |
| 4707s | we're adding new layers on top of it to |
| 4708s | round out the gameplay in addition to |
| 4710s | the complexes that you're used to in |
| 4712s | faction Warfare while there are more of |
| 4714s | them there are also additional |
| 4715s | objectives that you'll see in space such |
| 4717s | as Supply Depots there that are owned by |
| 4720s | the owners of the system or Supply |
| 4723s | caches by the attackers Rendezvous |
| 4726s | points where you can assault enemy |
| 4727s | fleets and more all of these things will |
| 4730s | factor into what is called the Advantage |
| 4732s | system the Advantage system simulates |
| 4734s | exactly which faction that is fighting |
| 4736s | over a system has an advantage how well |
| 4739s | are they doing in the war effort is |
| 4741s | there propaganda up to par in terms of |
| 4743s | turning the citizens of that system over |
| 4745s | to their side or are their fleets well |
| 4748s | supplied or are they being attacked at |
| 4751s | mid-transport all of these things are |
| 4753s | factored into the advantage score the |
| 4755s | better your faction does the higher |
| 4757s | their score the more victory points |
| 4758s | you'll earn when completing complex |
| 4760s | which means the faster you can capture |
| 4762s | systems with Uprising we're creating a |
| 4764s | healthy foundation for the faction |
| 4766s | Warfare ecosystem which will continue to |
| 4767s | build on going into the future in the |
| 4770s | future there will be more objectives as |
| 4771s | well as additional ways for people who |
| 4774s | are not actively in a militia today to |
| 4776s | join without having to leave their |
| 4778s | corporation or Alliance the faction |
| 4780s | Warframe system has long been beloved by |
| 4782s | many players and it's a very important |
| 4783s | part of the Eve online ecosystem and |
| 4786s | it's about time that we return to it |
| 4788s | give it a new facelift and begin to |
| 4790s | expand on the foundation that is already |
| 4793s | there |
| 4801s | there are CCP Aurora telling us a little |
| 4804s | bit about Uprising and the front lines |
| 4805s | and fraction Warfare expansions it's |
| 4807s | super cool |
| 4808s | um I've had a bit of a roam around it I |
| 4811s | played a bit on Singularity before it |
| 4813s | came out in the in the war games just to |
| 4814s | kind of have a look at it and I thought |
| 4816s | it was it was pretty cool I was very |
| 4817s | happy with it uh and then it obviously |
| 4819s | it's come out in the middle of this yeah |
| 4821s | we've gone in a little room uh here we |
| 4823s | had two detectors all out |
| 4825s | um and uh he gave us Tristan's he was |
| 4827s | like here it's a nice nice cheap ships |
| 4828s | uh and then I refit mine for faction |
| 4831s | modules and Dead Space modules and uh |
| 4833s | some Abyssal modules and then I tagged |
| 4836s | the Catalyst and it died and then I |
| 4837s | checked some of those modules I think |
| 4839s | one of them was a relatively well ruled |
| 4841s | uh Abyssal |
| 4844s | um Republic Fleet warp Scrambler I think |
| 4846s | wow so that's uh and then be scripted |
| 4848s | yeah and then he died yeah that's right |
| 4851s | I remember now I remember it's like |
| 4853s | asking where that module go to it's like |
| 4855s | I got popped yeah so he tried to Jet |
| 4857s | this in the loot so it wouldn't appear |
| 4859s | oatmeal and then I made him stop so I |
| 4861s | could take a photo of him just sing the |
| 4862s | loot yeah and then he got killed then he |
| 4863s | got killed yeah did you um did you |
| 4865s | actually check his uh kill mail to find |
| 4867s | out if that dropped imagine for someone |
| 4869s | else or did Luke very say no to that |
| 4870s | honestly I didn't even joke probably I'm |
| 4872s | not gonna go back probably better off |
| 4873s | not knowing yeah exactly don't relieve |
| 4875s | that moment but that was a really fun |
| 4876s | run yeah in the scrimmage room it was |
| 4877s | about I think about 10 of us or |
| 4878s | something like that or or roaming around |
| 4880s | and goofing around together |
| 4882s | um uh I've been sort of tempted towards |
| 4885s | the galante side of the the war zone |
| 4887s | that's the that's the correct side of |
| 4888s | the war zone despite my my heart being a |
| 4890s | a devout caldari um calderia like |
| 4893s | they're kind of hulking a little bit and |
| 4895s | that was in right now and I'm I kind of |
| 4897s | feel you know I have to gravitate |
| 4899s | towards the underdog as well so I've |
| 4900s | signed up with the galante on another |
| 4902s | character apologies to my current CEO |
| 4905s | which is a Kell Mill Corporation uh I'll |
| 4907s | be back soon TM I'm just you know gonna |
| 4909s | help those other guys and you know the |
| 4912s | Navy Morris I've just I've just been |
| 4913s | told my expensive uh what programmer did |
| 4916s | not drop oh oh okay well yeah thanks for |
| 4919s | the best yeah thanks production team |
| 4920s | yeah yeah oh no one gets to enjoy it now |
| 4923s | yeah and I just I just had to Swift |
| 4925s | laugh through the door and you said |
| 4926s | thanks production team yeah he's loving |
| 4928s | it yeah exactly we'll see them a little |
| 4929s | bit later yeah uh now speaking of uh us |
| 4932s | looking a little bit like Phil's we have |
| 4934s | another video of these quizzes that we |
| 4935s | were forced to do at uh gunpoint so |

| 4943s | all right |
| 4945s | foreign |
| 4952s | [Music] |
| 4953s | I'll give you three facts about the ship |
| 4958s | um I'll pause between each fact as the |
| 4961s | fact you answer on determines your point |
| 4963s | score for this question |
| 4966s | [Music] |
| 4973s | is it a momidon rattlesnake |

| 5045s | think of the ship like exact Navy maybe |
| 5048s | well that does that doesn't make sense |
| 5049s | now |
| 5050s | I'm gonna kick myself |

| 5117s | [Music] |
| 5128s | it's really hard when there's like a |
| 5131s | billion ships in Eve online and they're |
| 5134s | like this one has guns yeah and you're |
| 5136s | like oh of course the the gunship yep |
| 5139s | although I've got I mean I they're like |
| 5141s | uh an Omarion gumboat and I'm watching |
| 5144s | myself on the replay now actually |
| 5145s | hearing myself give the answers first |
| 5147s | time I'm like arbitrator a missile boat |
| 5150s | uh medium hybrids uh Naga you know like |
| 5153s | no that's large but then I felt better |
| 5154s | when you said Naga as well to answer |
| 5156s | that one so I'm in good company but yeah |
| 5158s | there's so many ships and then they're |
| 5160s | like yeah you know just you know think |
| 5162s | of all the other ones and then you get |
| 5164s | like so focused on one thing you're like |
| 5166s | yeah and they go no it's wrong you know |
| 5168s | uh an oman's like a zealot yeah and like |
| 5171s | uh galante's ship with no drain bait I |
| 5174s | said galante shuttle that is correct |
| 5176s | that is correct that is correct that is |
| 5178s | correct although yep well there you go I |
| 5179s | think we should give him an extra point |
| 5180s | thank you let's take a quick look at uh |
| 5182s | the band for this upcoming match |
| 5185s | okay so Volta Banning out the jackdaw |
| 5187s | the Nighthawk the abaddin Odin's called |
| 5189s | bringing Banning out the Stormbreaker |
| 5190s | hyena Nighthawk and we have trickle |
| 5192s | bands Volta Banning bar guest and Odin's |
| 5194s | cult Banning Harvey Navy now also uh we |
| 5197s | have um The Conquest bands in this which |
| 5199s | we'll get to Mr come out your thoughts |
| 5201s | on this quickly uh pretty standard bands |
| 5203s | coming out from Odin's in regards to the |
| 5205s | hyena and the Nighthawk the stormbringer |
| 5207s | we've seen come up a few times in armor |
| 5209s | comps they're very good at clearing |
| 5210s | drones and they also benefit from having |
| 5212s | many mids that you can use for tracking |
| 5215s | disruptors and guidance disruptors but |
| 5217s | also for remote sensor boosters as well |
| 5218s | to support your team and not just make |
| 5220s | the other team's life hell |
| 5222s | um it's interesting to see that Volta |
| 5224s | have now I think continued with the |
| 5226s | jackdaw ban I think it may have been |
| 5227s | Odin's initially |
| 5229s | I can't remember that was the last match |
| 5232s | um chat no ban I think is a great one |
| 5234s | barges ban also makes sense now that |
| 5236s | Walter cannot field one at least a |
| 5238s | flagship so yeah don't want to see any |
| 5240s | of those in the next match let's take a |
| 5241s | quick look at the conquest bands here |
| 5245s | so the conquest bands for this match for |
| 5247s | the Volta team are the bar guest the |
| 5249s | vigil the Drake Navy issue the catacle |
| 5251s | the stork the Osprey and the Osprey Navy |
| 5254s | issue |
| 5255s | um Misty what do you think this might do |
| 5257s | to this team I mean it's it's fairly |
| 5260s | interesting that essentially it's just |
| 5262s | uh the same list of bands that perhaps |
| 5264s | we would have seen for Odin's there are |
| 5265s | some slight variations in what we're |
| 5267s | seeing because they didn't bring the |
| 5268s | exact same comp but both bogus comps |
| 5271s | essentially won their matches |
| 5273s | um I think it's interesting just to note |
| 5275s | the rolling part of the conquest bands |
| 5277s | rolling being that if you win a match |
| 5279s | the next match you can't bring those |
| 5280s | ships but then the match afterwards they |
| 5283s | are enabled for you again so to win your |
| 5285s | first match is actually beneficial as it |
| 5287s | does mean that you can go back to your |
| 5288s | stronger comp in the in the last match |
| 5290s | of that set |
| 5291s | um whereas Walter find themselves in a |
| 5293s | situation where the really strong setup |
| 5294s | that they just brought isn't something |
| 5296s | that they could field if they wanted to |
| 5297s | so yeah and of course they're banning |
| 5300s | out the bar guest because they can no |
| 5301s | longer field it ordens I believe have a |
| 5303s | flagship Burger still remaining so if we |
| 5305s | do see a broadcast on the field it will |
| 5307s | be a flagship from Odin's call so that |
| 5309s | comp is still available for them it |
| 5310s | won't be the jewel bar guest that we saw |
| 5312s | because they can only bring that one |
| 5313s | Flagship but uh they can still of course |
| 5315s | field that flag now I think we are |
| 5317s | pretty much ready to go to the arena |
| 5319s | um so let's do one word predictions |
| 5321s | mystical Knight |
| 5324s | Volta |
| 5325s | please be convict |
| 5327s | Odin |
| 5328s | and I'm gonna go Volta as well let's go |
| 5330s | to the arena and find out this best of |
| 5332s | three final between V Farm Volta and |
| 5334s | Odin's call |
| 5340s | and welcome to the arena and there is |
| 5341s | indeed a flag bargast here the only |
| 5343s | buggers that would be allowed in this |
| 5345s | Arena and these both these comps are |
| 5346s | honestly something entitled out of left |
| 5348s | field for me we have a shack of Indie |
| 5349s | double Blackbird comp versus a buggers |
| 5351s | double Claymore plus a lot of evil |
| 5354s | frigate comp Kitsune carries Morris |
| 5356s | Griffin they've brought the entire kit |
| 5358s | Kaboodle worth of ewall in this com this |
| 5360s | is this is something ridiculous Azu |
| 5362s | it's gonna be a ridiculous matchup The |
| 5364s | Shack comfortably flip uh fitting into |
| 5366s | this format of armor control of all the |
| 5368s | e-war but we've seen I think more of the |
| 5369s | ewall here on the Odin's side |
| 5371s | um |
| 5372s | there on the Volta side so we'll see if |
| 5374s | that can get up and just screen off um |
| 5377s | somebody shifts but again Odin's play in |
| 5379s | a long range setup |
| 5380s | um it's going to be really interesting |
| 5382s | you know double Blackbird is a lovely |
| 5383s | combination because the Blackbirds can |
| 5385s | obviously cover for each other but if |
| 5387s | one goes down you know hey uh the chain |
| 5389s | kind of stops but then again they're |
| 5390s | going to have this amazing Guardian reps |
| 5392s | keeping them up |
| 5393s | then they've got like those two |
| 5395s | blackbirds now going against a Griffin |
| 5396s | and katsuna and then it carries a mole |
| 5398s | who could also make it even harder for |
| 5399s | them so this is just |
| 5402s | everyone's playing for control here both |
| 5404s | teams have very strong control bar |
| 5406s | there's going to be a lot of honestly |
| 5407s | just you know random dice rolls uh damp |
| 5410s | control just |
| 5412s | like yeah this is going to be an |
| 5414s | incredibly crazy match I want to see who |
| 5415s | gets the upper hand and hopefully |
| 5416s | maintains it |
| 5418s | so something we're not really going to |
| 5420s | be able to see with any uis or anything |
| 5421s | like that but I would just love to know |
| 5423s | if the pilots here on Odin's side so |
| 5425s | Martin and Athol there in the Morrison |
| 5427s | carries um the combination of doing dams |
| 5430s | and ECM can be quite powerful if you |
| 5432s | actually take advantage of the scan |
| 5434s | resolution script so sure you jam a |
| 5436s | blackbird or you jam the guardian uh you |
| 5438s | know down for the cycle comes out of |
| 5440s | cycle maybe miss the next cycle but it |
| 5442s | can lock up the targets again but if you |
| 5444s | follow up that jam cycle for scan resnap |
| 5446s | sure you missed the next Jam cycle but |
| 5449s | it's going to take 20 years to lock up |
| 5450s | the targets again and by the time you |
| 5452s | get around to finally locking a Target |
| 5453s | because of those dabs boom RNG hits you |
| 5456s | and you just jammed again |
| 5458s | yeah it can also be pretty painful at |
| 5460s | least and take you um a battleship can |
| 5462s | still technically be Perma jammed by ECM |
| 5464s | sometimes if done correctly which is |
| 5466s | honestly quite painful we have 30 |
| 5468s | seconds until the match starts and uh |
| 5470s | yeah this I honestly this is going to be |
| 5473s | a very interesting I want to see how |
| 5474s | this one starts off because there's a |
| 5475s | lot of opportunities here for both teams |
| 5477s | we've got able to Shack Vindicated core |
| 5478s | which is obviously a very thick option |
| 5480s | this is Bargas twin Claymore which is |
| 5482s | just yeah totally different ideas but |
| 5485s | both teams have thought thought that |
| 5487s | control is required yeah we're going to |
| 5489s | be seeing the match kicking off here now |
| 5490s | so |
| 5491s | um as a bit concerned for Volta they |
| 5493s | don't really have anything like the |
| 5494s | jackdaws or something you know long |
| 5496s | range easy missile application or |
| 5498s | something like that that can just get |
| 5499s | rid of all these little frigates right |
| 5500s | now because obviously those frigates are |
| 5502s | going to be the thing that are putting |
| 5503s | the most harassment on them right now so |
| 5504s | match underway we see Odin's backing off |
| 5506s | keeping that drainage Advantage without |
| 5508s | a pushing obviously with The Vindicator |
| 5509s | and The Shack on their side they're |
| 5510s | going to be looking to close this range |
| 5512s | again and just push them against the |
| 5513s | arena so Odin's not exactly lining up |
| 5515s | for any mgds plays just going on pure |
| 5517s | piloting and maneuvering around right |
| 5519s | now |
| 5519s | I'm just watching these control bars |
| 5521s | already building up because let me see |
| 5522s | him against The Vindicator ECM gets a |
| 5525s | molar we got it's easy going against the |
| 5526s | Claymore and if you're spraying carries |
| 5528s | the posing side it's |
| 5529s | going to be a lot going across both |
| 5531s | sides you see uh Dance Now on a |
| 5533s | blackbird |
| 5534s | and DPS now going into the Magus |
| 5536s | potentially trying to remove uh links |
| 5538s | early as well as a potential tackle ship |
| 5540s | so while teams aren't allowed T2 jams or |
| 5543s | t2e War they can still have uh you know |
| 5545s | meta and stuff but the same as tracking |
| 5546s | disruptors and guide disruptors teams do |
| 5548s | still have to make a choice of what jams |
| 5549s | they can do in opting for you know |
| 5550s | racial bonus but you know really bad off |
| 5553s | jams or just multi-spec but then having |
| 5554s | worse range but we see this Vindicator |
| 5556s | here up there and going in with a modern |
| 5557s | MGD behind there on the back line going |
| 5560s | he's going for that Osprey on Odin side |
| 5561s | now |
| 5563s | yep it'll either be an incredibly great |
| 5564s | call or a way to throw away your ship |
| 5567s | and wrap up sandwiching him between the |
| 5568s | vindia and the mother hopefully that |
| 5569s | Vinnie can grab him as the Osprey is |
| 5571s | looking to rush behind him he might |
| 5572s | actually just dodge this vendi right now |
| 5573s | actually |
| 5577s | just keep making an eye on things at the |
| 5579s | moment it's like you broke free so well |
| 5581s | played there on toe Sprite looks like |
| 5582s | they may be able to break past that |
| 5584s | still good play on a Volta side to |
| 5586s | setting up a nice sandwich combination |
| 5588s | there um still a pressure being applied |
| 5589s | and Volta the long range uh Bean |
| 5591s | favorite here of Odin so they're able to |
| 5593s | apply pressure but obviously this double |
| 5594s | Blackbird comp with a guardian |
| 5596s | supporting it as well it's just going to |
| 5598s | be a huge hindrance to actually breaking |
| 5599s | through anything the sky breaker of |
| 5600s | outdoor taking some damage there so much |
| 5603s | going for I believe a tackle on the |
| 5605s | Osprey there so the Osprey is now at |
| 5608s | least for now being held in I think he |
| 5609s | might have just gotten away |
| 5611s | yeah okay I think he's back free Again |
| 5613s | release for the moment |
| 5618s | has been held down as well by the bug |
| 5621s | bug is currently screaming that more |
| 5622s | away keeping them off of his osprey |
| 5624s | Odin's doing a fantastic job with just |
| 5626s | evading this right now he's also just |
| 5628s | getting kind of screened here great a |
| 5630s | lot of people might not actually put a |
| 5632s | scrum or something on the bar I guess |
| 5633s | just you know opting for I don't know |
| 5634s | something else in there but we're seeing |
| 5635s | great use of the just all the bonuses on |
| 5637s | these ships right now another dipping |
| 5638s | into low armor even for his resistance |
| 5640s | bonuses Guardian not able to keep it up |
| 5642s | probably some evil there as the matter |
| 5643s | goes down a lot of the attack are |
| 5645s | falling here for vulture side so they |
| 5646s | might just accept these uh skinny ships |
| 5648s | especially if the sky breaker going down |
| 5650s | as well Vindicator is going to have a |
| 5651s | hard time grabbing anything if his light |
| 5653s | supports all deleted |
| 5654s | exactly that all I've got on the left |
| 5656s | now is basically a sky breaker Confessor |
| 5657s | and potentially the pontifex and that's |
| 5658s | their entire tackle Wing I've known he |
| 5662s | is setting up for an MJB pay right now |
| 5664s | getting on top of a beacon so if we just |
| 5665s | keep eyes on him and see where he's |
| 5666s | going to end up maybe he's able to |
| 5668s | actually make a sick play and just get |
| 5669s | right on top of what he needs to do |
| 5672s | yeah they have to I hope and pray the |
| 5675s | Confessor and skybreaker and get some |
| 5676s | good tackles off their uh blackbirds are |
| 5678s | still being in absolute pain but they |
| 5679s | are starting to be shot at |
| 5681s | and starting to get push into armor |
| 5683s | hopefully the planet six does not lose |
| 5684s | lock because that will be a pretty quick |
| 5686s | depth for these blackbirds |
| 5688s | while every kill feels explosive when |
| 5690s | you get into the e-war stalemate here so |
| 5692s | even though it's just been a Magus |
| 5694s | oh there we go it's lining up where is |
| 5696s | he going to looks like he's going for uh |
| 5698s | well we'll see what he actually ends up |
| 5699s | grabbing because unfortunately Odin's |
| 5701s | still going to be quite mobile here |
| 5703s | um he's |
| 5704s | kind of close to the the burgers but I |
| 5706s | think he's just out of range we'll see |
| 5710s | well I might be able to grow up |
| 5711s | unfortunately the Bargas will have the |
| 5712s | advantage in the scrams the scram comes |
| 5714s | out uh will the webs have actually cut |
| 5716s | him down in time it doesn't seem like it |
| 5722s | that like that was a big ball play but |
| 5724s | unfortunately just clean it just out of |
| 5726s | range of the uh of the bug |
| 5729s | uh well I'm interested to see again what |
| 5731s | happened with the dams there you know it |
| 5732s | could have just been a case of if |
| 5734s | scanner's damps were on The Vindicator |
| 5736s | um he would not have enough time to lock |
| 5738s | anything once he got on top of it on the |
| 5740s | after jumping you know so sure you jump |
| 5742s | right next to the things but as the |
| 5744s | Blackbird finally goes down you know it |
| 5745s | doesn't help if you're on top of things |
| 5746s | if you take 30 seconds to lock them so |
| 5748s | finally that uh ECM core or Volta is |
| 5751s | crumbling here with the first Blackboard |
| 5752s | going down |
| 5753s | crumbling stuff in the right way at this |
| 5755s | point this comp is going to start |
| 5756s | falling apart second Blackbird Goes Pop |
| 5757s | they've lost most of their ewall support |
| 5759s | they've lost most of their tackle |
| 5760s | they've got two heavy battleships that |
| 5761s | can't really do things on their own |
| 5762s | anymore this at this moment it is |
| 5765s | starting to look incredibly bad for |
| 5767s | Volta and I don't think they can pull |
| 5768s | this back |
| 5769s | so good job my own is cool here uh |
| 5771s | putting their bar guests on the line |
| 5772s | their Flagship our guest at that and |
| 5774s | still having an absolutely dominating |
| 5777s | presence living to win for the moment |
| 5779s | that's not over boundaries could still |
| 5780s | happen The Vindicator and the shack |
| 5782s | combination could still reach on top of |
| 5783s | something a Volta does still have their |
| 5785s | Guardian as well with some light tackles |
| 5787s | so they could still make some plays here |
| 5788s | they are not out of the picture just yet |
| 5790s | but obviously underscore hasn't lost a |
| 5791s | single thing especially these uh ewar |
| 5794s | frigates the the T1 and T2 to variants |
| 5796s | of the ECM and Dam ships just doing a |
| 5799s | devastating job against faulty here |
| 5801s | right now |
| 5803s | it's kind of interesting they brought a |
| 5804s | a lot of e-war to support their card in |
| 5806s | common it's done amazingly well whereas |
| 5808s | uh Volta did bring some good tackle |
| 5810s | options as well as e-war but weren't |
| 5811s | able to really make them uh well survive |
| 5814s | against these uh Osprey navies and |
| 5816s | character navies and we sit there on The |
| 5817s | Vindicator again like he's getting onto |
| 5819s | an MGD beak again uh but I think owners |
| 5822s | score is going to be more aware of this |
| 5823s | right now so we'll see if you actually |
| 5824s | have managed to grab anything but again |
| 5826s | I feel either the combination of range |
| 5828s | sensor and ECM is still just a real |
| 5830s | harassment uh for trying to get the jump |
| 5832s | on someone because you can't really just |
| 5834s | get in there instantly lock something |
| 5835s | and then apply those windy webs the bar |
| 5837s | gas scram is doing an amazing job so |
| 5839s | kudos to yokan just be playing the |
| 5841s | screener for his team as well here |
| 5843s | yeah that's what a flag bar can do for |
| 5845s | you it is a powerful combination it's |
| 5847s | not the tankiest thing in the world but |
| 5848s | the mobility in Cape and self-defense |
| 5850s | capability it has but if you and your |
| 5853s | team is obviously only second to maybe |
| 5855s | the bowel gone if anything oh |
| 5857s | unfortunately Theron kind of misjudges |
| 5859s | range mjd Akins can only be activated |
| 5861s | within five kilometers seems he |
| 5863s | underestimated but going for lineup so |
| 5865s | it has to Pedal back and waste some |
| 5866s | precious time here getting back into the |
| 5868s | range and then lining himself up again |
| 5870s | to do that MGD play that being said |
| 5873s | um looks like uh Odin has circled around |
| 5875s | and even if we were to go to an MGD |
| 5877s | player you'd likely be overshooting |
| 5878s | anything of value right now |
| 5880s | exactly that they're all uh almost |
| 5882s | perfectly placed to be uh makers of |
| 5884s | indicators jump almost with us he's now |
| 5886s | boosting over to I believe potentially |
| 5888s | the Claymore of the Palatine the |
| 5890s | Paradigm sorry might actually get right |
| 5892s | on top of that see if you can lock it in |
| 5893s | time if this goes through here |
| 5895s | or potentially Colonel Kurtz uh he's |
| 5897s | pretty close to Paradigm he might be in |
| 5899s | web range |
| 5900s | something there Colonel has is coming to |
| 5903s | a Full Stop he's realized he's running |
| 5904s | right into a Vindicator let's see if |
| 5907s | they're on gonna catch anything here |
| 5908s | right now |
| 5909s | this will not be a 100 potentially |
| 5913s | hopefully you can follow through here uh |
| 5914s | we do still have the Osprey live on the |
| 5916s | Odin side as well no no no never mind he |
| 5919s | got away |
| 5921s | no he got the web but apparently |
| 5924s | Paradigm range before he slowed down too |
| 5925s | badly |
| 5927s | well again you know with your uh |
| 5928s | application being limited here in the |
| 5930s | sense of like blasters and then even of |
| 5932s | the shack you know hey uh the ketson and |
| 5934s | the Griffin can just actually conserve |
| 5936s | their jams and pre-heat their ECM cycles |
| 5939s | and then all that happens the claimer |
| 5941s | screams hey vindi has me tackled oecm |
| 5943s | goes at Divinity someone's gonna get |
| 5945s | lucky and then you know you're just |
| 5946s | ready to actually use these jams uh |
| 5949s | reactively instead of uh you know |
| 5951s | proactively you know defense I also |
| 5953s | wonder if I didn't see but maybe that |
| 5954s | Split Second both the Moors and the |
| 5956s | carries both dumped all of their damps |
| 5957s | Into The Vindicator made them break lock |
| 5959s | for that Split Second and then went back |
| 5960s | to damping what they were damping |
| 5962s | true and thereon again he's going |
| 5965s | crawling back to an mjd so he's just |
| 5968s | he's just loving jumping around this |
| 5970s | Arena right now unfortunately not able |
| 5971s | to sink his teeth into anything yokan |
| 5973s | just uh in the absolute MVP or I feel |
| 5976s | just how he's been screening office |
| 5978s | Odin's teams whenever they've actually |
| 5979s | had an opportunity the matter at the |
| 5981s | beginning |
| 5982s | um The Vindicator when he made that |
| 5983s | first mjd play absolutely fantastic play |
| 5986s | um I'm just wondering obviously if he's |
| 5987s | got you know if officer thing is even |
| 5989s | allowed there but obviously if the bonus |
| 5991s | is from the bar guest good range and |
| 5992s | links |
| 5994s | yeah this uh as an Australia I have to |
| 5996s | say there's indicators currently playing |
| 5997s | the kangaroo Play Bouncing Around The |
| 5999s | Arena like a lunatic but you just can't |
| 6002s | really do anything with it it's it's it |
| 6004s | really um oh where's he going now hold |
| 6006s | on he's MJ digging again which way are |
| 6008s | we going |
| 6010s | I think he's going to another uh he's |
| 6013s | not going towards anyone it seems so I |
| 6015s | don't know maybe he's going to try for |
| 6017s | record most njds in a single match uh |
| 6020s | we'll see if he can maybe break that |
| 6021s | record but Odin's sitting here |
| 6023s | comfortably right now just an amazing |
| 6025s | job from these ewar Pilots I must say |
| 6027s | you know you don't really get those |
| 6028s | flashy things those flashy kill males |
| 6030s | you know people don't really see always |
| 6032s | what you're doing on the um UI stream |
| 6035s | here or anything but you know when it |
| 6037s | comes down to it they still need to know |
| 6038s | where to put those modules at the right |
| 6039s | place cycling between things and you |
| 6042s | know they still need to Pilot these |
| 6043s | ships as well because they're glass |
| 6045s | cannons in the terms of e-wars though as |
| 6047s | the Guardians |
| 6049s | Guardian six actually went down |
| 6050s | surprisingly late into this match it |
| 6052s | wasn't particularly uh entirely |
| 6053s | ineffective but so much evil on him that |
| 6055s | he's a he would have been a lot of work |
| 6058s | being with rep and basically anything |
| 6059s | and with the Vindicator running around |
| 6060s | he definitely can't rep that |
| 6062s | there's good fights and local as well |
| 6064s | both teams know this is basically over |
| 6066s | Owen's cool with basically what's |
| 6067s | looking to be a 100 oh actually no it |
| 6069s | won't be 100 they can't kill a little |
| 6070s | Vindicator all the shack fast enough so |
| 6073s | true that 30 seconds almost done here ha |
| 6076s | well Vindicator I know it's your |
| 6078s | favorite ship here uh Wingnut but it's |
| 6079s | just a shame to see it didn't die yeah |
| 6082s | but it felt like it was hamstrung and |
| 6084s | they were just laughing at it I was |
| 6086s | trying to fly around the arena and catch |
| 6087s | something so unfortunately no kills for |
| 6089s | that Wendy |
| 6091s | uh the life of a blaster ship five |
| 6093s | seconds in that match is now over uh |
| 6096s | massive respect to Owen's call very well |
| 6098s | flown very well controlled and with that |
| 6100s | we'll go back to the studio and see what |
| 6101s | they think on this |
| 6105s | [Music] |
| 6126s | [Music] |
| 6133s | thank you |
| 6142s | [Applause] |
| 6146s | [Music] |
| 6149s | [Applause] |
| 6151s | [Music] |
| 6152s | [Applause] |
| 6157s | connected Channel switched well it would |
| 6160s | have been fun easy fight right but guess |
| 6162s | what dude I'm not seeing it people can't |
| 6164s | get together |
| 6170s | enemies your temps are completely damned |
| 6173s | out Crush I'm dumped out I'm dumped out |
| 6175s | you don't like Champions boys |
| 6184s | I'm jammed |
| 6186s | there you are Odin's call taking that |
| 6188s | practice match uh right there for |
| 6190s | against Volta we're now ready to go to |
| 6192s | the real match between we form Volta and |
| 6194s | Odin's call |
| 6197s | oh that was the real match well that is |
| 6198s | unfortunate uh Volta they're dropping |
| 6200s | the series and going now down into the |
| 6202s | lower bracket final well they will will |
| 6204s | face truth honor light Bolta of course |
| 6206s | lost their Flagship in the second match |
| 6208s | up there uh and truth and like do have |
| 6210s | theirs remaining so that will be a spicy |
| 6212s | matchup for them it's gonna be another |
| 6213s | best of three uh so the Volta team can't |
| 6216s | relax right now whereas Odin's call can |
| 6217s | they're not going to have that 25 match |
| 6219s | run they have a couple of like maybe |
| 6221s | like an hour and a half or so to relax |
| 6223s | chill out you know get a coffee whatever |
| 6225s | they want to do and uh just you know |
| 6227s | prepare for the grand finals so Odin's |
| 6229s | Corner secured themselves at least |
| 6231s | second place uh they should be |
| 6233s | absolutely Giga proud of that that's an |
| 6235s | incredible achievement already uh and |
| 6237s | I'm I can't wait to see the final |
| 6238s | they're going to do super well I'm sure |
| 6239s | now uh CP convict before we go to the |
| 6242s | break you've been managing the quiz and |
| 6243s | stuff like that yeah just tell me a |
| 6245s | little bit about that oh well you know |
| 6246s | we just we we've used the quiz kid app |
| 6248s | extension on Twitch a couple of times in |
| 6250s | the past for for special occasions |
| 6252s | capsuleo Day Celebrations and so forth |
| 6254s | the alliance tournament has you know a |
| 6256s | couple of Fairly chunky breaks uh |
| 6258s | throughout the weekends you know half an |
| 6260s | hour here and there and you know we want |
| 6261s | to keep people uh interested and having |
| 6263s | fun and engaged and find cool uh ways to |
| 6265s | give away prizes and so forth so we just |
| 6267s | drag them out for this and this weekend |
| 6269s | we've been focusing mostly on like 80 |
| 6271s | flavored quizzes uh and last weekend too |
| 6273s | I should say however I was completely |
| 6275s | out of ideas so we're going to have |
| 6276s | another quiz during this break but it's |
| 6278s | just going to be completely trash sorry |
| 6280s | about that I'll try and have a better |
| 6282s | one for you for the next break and |
| 6284s | during the break as well we'll also be |
| 6285s | activating some of our special rewards |
| 6287s | for channel points there'll be two 50 |
| 6289s | Euro or 50 US dollar Eve store vouchers |
| 6292s | based on the Winner's preference for 50 |
| 6294s | 000 Channel points and then during the |
| 6296s | second break we'll have one last Eve |
| 6298s | ship model that you can claim for a |
| 6299s | hundred thousand points but they'll just |
| 6301s | be fastest finger first will get them |
| 6303s | unfortunately it's the fairest way we |
| 6305s | can think of sort of like |
| 6306s | um |
| 6307s | uh releasing these to the community so |
| 6309s | um so there'll be two quizzes today and |
| 6311s | a couple rewards during the breaks which |
| 6312s | will start soon so since we're off air |
| 6314s | I've got a into the back room and start |
| 6315s | meshing buttons again what have you got |
| 6317s | through to the back room I gotta run |
| 6319s | gotta run excellent thank you well we're |
| 6321s | gonna go for that break right now uh the |
| 6323s | next match will be the best of three |
| 6324s | lower bracket final between uh we form |
| 6326s | Volta and Truth on the light so we need |
| 6328s | to give them a little bit of time to |
| 6329s | prepare for that match up |
| 6331s | um we'll be back in about 30 minutes so |
| 6333s | we'll see you then |
| 6336s | welcome back to Alliance tournament 18 I |
| 6339s | am CCP overload and I'm joined on the |
| 6341s | desk by CCP zealous and Jin tan CCB |
| 6344s | sales how are you today pretty good |
| 6346s | grand scheme of things tournaments going |
| 6348s | swimmingly so you know pretty good yeah |
| 6350s | you've been in the back most of the time |
| 6352s | as the you know the headwrap the guy |
| 6353s | running everything uh doing all the |
| 6355s | clicking moving people around talking |
| 6356s | with captains and just basically the |
| 6359s | brains behind the actual tournament |
| 6360s | operation how's that been for you we've |
| 6362s | managed to pry you through here right |
| 6364s | now uh we've got this one opportunity |
| 6366s | we've just come back from a break uh the |
| 6368s | next match is being set up by some of |
| 6370s | your deputies as we've managed to pry |
| 6372s | you through here so we can talk to you |
| 6373s | so tell me about how it's been for you |
| 6375s | uh it's actually changed a little bit |
| 6376s | this year so uh legendary uh referee uh |
| 6380s | Amy muffmuff has also taken over this |
| 6382s | year my previous roles of uh head |
| 6383s | referee so I'm actually a little bit |
| 6385s | more involved in the like General |
| 6387s | organization of the tournament like the |
| 6388s | like I called myself the tournament |
| 6390s | director this year uh so the arrangement |
| 6392s | of uh the general rules how things are |
| 6394s | running uh is is pretty much how I've uh |
| 6396s | ended up kind of organizing things this |
| 6398s | year uh we have a fantastic team of |
| 6401s | referees back in uh Reykjavik and as |
| 6403s | well as a couple were actually doing it |
| 6405s | from home as well which has been super |
| 6406s | cool |
| 6407s | um but yeah we have a referee team this |
| 6409s | year I think of roughly about eight |
| 6412s | people I think it was across the whole |
| 6413s | thing so it's been uh really good I |
| 6416s | think people don't realize just how |
| 6417s | intensive the sort of ref reading is in |
| 6420s | an alliance tournament match like take |
| 6422s | us through all the steps so normally in |
| 6424s | a regular match you would have uh about |
| 6427s | an hour before the match would happen a |
| 6430s | referee would normally Convoy you you |
| 6431s | would normally get a set of bands from |
| 6433s | each team the bands are normally then |
| 6436s | exchanged they're in the conversation |
| 6438s | with the referees we used to have a very |
| 6440s | oppressive tool where you would |
| 6442s | basically have to like a countdown timer |
| 6444s | would hit you you'd have 60 seconds to |
| 6447s | scroll through a list of ships and pick |
| 6449s | your ships we got rid of that we went |
| 6451s | back to the old human interaction so you |
| 6454s | speak to a referee you exchange your |
| 6456s | bands if there's a trickle ban so that's |
| 6458s | uh if uh both sides pick the same ship |
| 6460s | you get a trickle ban so then we |
| 6462s | normally give them an extra two minutes |
| 6463s | uh just to pick a new triple ban uh then |
| 6466s | once those are exchanged we let |
| 6468s | everybody get into their ships so |
| 6469s | normally the the teams will then start |
| 6471s | organizing who's flying what uh |
| 6473s | sometimes you get an extra person kind |
| 6474s | of join the fleet who then distributes |
| 6477s | all the ships so uh the the referees can |
| 6479s | actually see who's in the fleet uh and |
| 6481s | then we can start our checks to make |
| 6483s | sure no one's bringing anything they |
| 6484s | shouldn't according to the rules uh |
| 6486s | because it's quite a big set of rules uh |
| 6489s | that they all have to go through and |
| 6490s | observe so they then have a check |
| 6492s | process where they look at all the |
| 6494s | what's involved in each ship uh we then |
| 6496s | have a look and see if there's any |
| 6497s | flagships coming along if there's |
| 6498s | flagships then we'll obviously ask the |
| 6500s | teams are you intending to bring this is |
| 6501s | this intentional |
| 6503s | um and then |
| 6504s | it's just a case of time to get ready uh |
| 6507s | they then moved into the tournament |
| 6508s | system |
| 6509s | they're held into position for about a |
| 6511s | minute or so where they have the |
| 6513s | opportunity to check over any mods |
| 6514s | they've got on their ship to make sure |
| 6515s | everything's as it should be at which |
| 6518s | point they're then |
| 6519s | after that minutes elapsed they're then |
| 6522s | uh told to walk to the arena between 0 |
| 6523s | and 50 kilometers again as per the rules |
| 6525s | and then that's normally when you switch |
| 6527s | over to the arena and you see everybody |
| 6529s | just holding position uh then what we've |
| 6532s | turned into a little bit of a game with |
| 6533s | the referees is uh we try and aim to be |
| 6536s | offset by 30 seconds because the match |
| 6538s | countdown is 30 seconds so when there's |
| 6541s | about 30 seconds left on the timer we'll |
| 6542s | hit the button a countdown will go in |
| 6544s | local and then the game begins awesome |
| 6547s | and that's as you've described it a very |
| 6549s | intensive process and having a lot of |
| 6551s | people to sort of rely on to make that |
| 6553s | happen especially when you consider |
| 6555s | these things let's protect process takes |
| 6556s | about an hour and we have matches |
| 6558s | running every 20 minutes which means a |
| 6560s | lot of these things are overlapping each |
| 6561s | other and interlacing and it can be |
| 6563s | quite confusing and if one match starts |
| 6566s | to run late for example in an interview |
| 6567s | with the timings of the other ones it |
| 6569s | can cause absolute chaos not only for |
| 6571s | the teams uh but for the referees uh for |
| 6574s | the the schedule itself and of course us |
| 6576s | here on the desk trying to figure out |
| 6577s | when we can hand over this year we we've |
| 6580s | had pretty much every single thing start |
| 6581s | exactly on schedule it's incredible I |
| 6583s | said to you last weekend we finished the |
| 6585s | Sunday I don't remember ever an alliance |
| 6588s | tournament weekend where every single |
| 6589s | match started on time and today I think |
| 6591s | we had one match that start about 30 |
| 6592s | seconds late because a player couldn't |
| 6595s | load something yet I think which is an |
| 6596s | incredible achievement from all the |
| 6598s | referees to actually make that happen |
| 6599s | it's just like it's never happened as |
| 6602s | far as I can tell that we've ever been |
| 6603s | this one time after a lot of extensive |
| 6605s | testing I build up a spreadsheet that |
| 6607s | basically uh I've called the cheat sheet |
| 6609s | which is essentially it's like a |
| 6611s | play-by-play from hour to like the |
| 6614s | minute the match happens and it has like |
| 6616s | text prompts throughout the whole entire |
| 6617s | process where it's just a case of uh you |
| 6620s | speak to them you say this thing at this |
| 6621s | particular time but there's also like a |
| 6623s | little bit of buffer built into it so |
| 6625s | that if anything plays up or if we get |
| 6626s | any issues you know it shouldn't delay |
| 6628s | the the schedule at all but yes you are |
| 6630s | right it is very rigorous in its uh in |
| 6633s | its kind of laying out |
| 6635s | yeah so last year we saw the price ships |
| 6638s | for the alliance Tournament being the |
| 6639s | Raju and the laylaps and they were um |
| 6642s | new prize ships and it was announced |
| 6644s | that uh CCP was going to essentially |
| 6646s | like go back to Alliance tournament |
| 6647s | seven where Prime ships first came in |
| 6649s | and and re-released them going forward |
| 6651s | to guarantee prize ships every year |
| 6653s | because the development effort is quite |
| 6654s | significant but then CP decided uh to |
| 6657s | reimagine the frackie in the mimir from |
| 6659s | uh Alliance tournament seven and we have |
| 6660s | two new ships can you talk to us about |
| 6662s | them yeah so we have a little bit of |
| 6664s | information with regards to the the new |
| 6666s | two new ships uh we should have some |
| 6667s | stats up on the screen momentarily uh |
| 6669s | the uh Gary I I keep trying so hard to |
| 6673s | not call it the Jerry uh and the best I |
| 6677s | believe is the correct way to uh |
| 6678s | pronounce those two ships uh we did have |
| 6681s | a prize blog not too long ago that |
| 6683s | announced these uh ships and their stats |
| 6684s | in it uh subsequently since then we have |
| 6687s | actually upgraded some of the bonuses |
| 6689s | that you see today |
| 6691s | um we've essentially increased the |
| 6694s | damage on the the um the bachelor we've |
| 6698s | got rid of the actual overall damage uh |
| 6701s | bonus on the mimitar cruiser and we've |
| 6703s | actually increased it the uh to a rate |
| 6705s | of fire bonus so essentially it went |
| 6706s | from roughly about eight turrets to |
| 6708s | about 10 turrets now overall um uh sorry |
| 6711s | missile launchers |
| 6713s | um in its actual design so it's looking |
| 6715s | pretty pretty a lot better than what it |
| 6717s | was on the prize block now so uh I I |
| 6719s | reached out for a couple of the stats uh |
| 6721s | with regards to the the base feed and |
| 6723s | the the fitting room uh and I was told |
| 6725s | fast I almost put sonic initially as the |
| 6728s | base speed uh and then the fitting room |
| 6730s | I was told Lots so |
| 6732s | as you see today it is lots and lots uh |
| 6735s | hopefully we'll have those stats uh and |
| 6737s | we'll have a few images hopefully after |
| 6739s | the tournament as well all nicely firmed |
| 6741s | up and be able to share it in the not |
| 6742s | too distant future yeah I've I've |
| 6744s | managed to see some of the uh the |
| 6746s | pre-production work on them and they |
| 6747s | look pretty cool so I can't wait to see |
| 6749s | them now Alliance tournament price ships |
| 6751s | not only are they hashtag POG and there |
| 6754s | are more things in the alliance |
| 6755s | tournament that you can win you can win |
| 6757s | skins and as mystical might uh huffing |
| 6759s | the copium somewhere in this building is |
| 6761s | so Keen in saying it's all about the |
| 6763s | Skins now these are the new skins uh |
| 6765s | talk me through some of these so yeah we |
| 6767s | have uh 280 of the pro ships to hand out |
| 6769s | but the Skins |
| 6771s | um yeah we have uh these being awarded |
| 6774s | as well it's normally uh 10 skins per |
| 6776s | win that the team achieves in each match |
| 6778s | so uh it's actually across a selection |
| 6780s | of uh seven ships |
| 6782s | um which I can't think of off the top of |
| 6784s | my head but we have uh it's a selection |
| 6786s | of the fleet issue ships uh plus we've |
| 6789s | done a wolf and I believe it was a uh |
| 6792s | life was the other ship or is it same as |
| 6794s | sorry a semitar was the last one so |
| 6796s | because I wanted to get a little bit of |
| 6798s | love for our logic Bros so they actually |
| 6799s | have a a nice tournament skin this year |
| 6801s | uh but yeah the art team has done |
| 6804s | fantastic work in producing uh these |
| 6806s | great skins uh red and nice orange feel |
| 6809s | they have their nice kind of Minotaur |
| 6811s | Rusty feel to them which I think looks |
| 6813s | absolutely fantastic |
| 6815s | yeah I think the uh the art team as |
| 6817s | usual uh absolutely smashing it |
| 6819s | um and there's some more skins and we'll |
| 6821s | hopefully get some pictures of them |
| 6821s | released uh at some point maybe in a Dev |
| 6823s | vlogger on Twitter but they look amazing |
| 6825s | uh they look just phenomenal and they |
| 6827s | are lines from a prize skins |
| 6829s | um are just a nice little bonus so |
| 6830s | whenever you win any match in the |
| 6832s | alliance tournament you get some skins |
| 6833s | so even if you go one and two then you |
| 6836s | don't want any prior ships obviously but |
| 6838s | you do get some skins which you can |
| 6840s | either divvy up between your your team |
| 6841s | members or of course sell and they are |
| 6844s | limited skins they're not reproduced so |
| 6846s | those skins can end up you know fetching |
| 6848s | a fear a fair few many isks on the open |
| 6851s | market some of them |
| 6853s | um have been |
| 6854s | so I'm not going to spoil it there's |
| 6856s | some moments we'll see them later |
| 6858s | um so I want someone to talk to you |
| 6859s | about the trials so the trials was a |
| 6861s | super interesting thing that happened |
| 6862s | this year instead of uh the normal |
| 6863s | theater tournaments |
| 6865s | um you guys lent into the uh the lore of |
| 6868s | the mimitar Republic response to this |
| 6869s | tournament |
| 6871s | um and you created the the trials |
| 6872s | tournament so talk to me about the |
| 6873s | thought process there and how that |
| 6874s | worked out yeah so the trials tournament |
| 6875s | uh was a way of essentially as you say |
| 6880s | feeding uh players into the main |
| 6882s | tournament when we have like a huge |
| 6884s | number of players that end up joining it |
| 6887s | was a problem last year that we ended up |
| 6888s | having such an excessive amount of |
| 6890s | interest that we needed to kind of |
| 6892s | figure out a way to deal with the extra |
| 6893s | teams this year and I figured that the |
| 6896s | well the feeders the trials was going to |
| 6897s | be the better way to deal with that uh |
| 6899s | so what I ended up actually doing was uh |
| 6902s | creating a process where you have seven |
| 6904s | imitar tribes so seven teams were going |
| 6906s | to be the ones that ended up uh being |
| 6908s | pushed through as sponsors uh for this |
| 6911s | year's Alliance tournament uh we had a |
| 6914s | bit of a fun time with the the |
| 6916s | mathematics that was involved in it just |
| 6917s | because of the the number of teams that |
| 6919s | did end up joining but it was it worked |
| 6921s | out that six teams would essentially be |
| 6924s | playing uh being pushed through by six |
| 6926s | of the tribes where they'd be playing at |
| 6928s | least twice but they would essentially |
| 6931s | be like eliminating themselves through |
| 6933s | smaller brackets and groups kind of like |
| 6935s | what you see with the group stages for |
| 6937s | like the World Cup kind of thing but |
| 6939s | then the seventh nefertar tribe was |
| 6941s | going to be doing a Redemption Arc so |
| 6943s | anyone that finished in their finals |
| 6946s | match for each Minotaur sponsor if they |
| 6950s | failed their match they were going to be |
| 6951s | put through into a separate group where |
| 6953s | they'd basically play through the whole |
| 6954s | thing again with all the other finals |
| 6957s | losers to determine who the seventh were |
| 6959s | and we have |
| 6961s | seen the power of Odin's call being the |
| 6965s | ones that actually went through the |
| 6967s | whole nephin Tarak all the way through |
| 6969s | the trials tournament and obviously you |
| 6971s | know they've pushed their way all the |
| 6973s | way through the alliance tournament this |
| 6974s | year so it's been amazing to see it has |
| 6976s | it's been really super cool I really |
| 6977s | enjoyed the format this year I thought |
| 6979s | it was super interesting now um we have |
| 6981s | only a few minutes to go before the |
| 6983s | start of the first match in the alliance |
| 6985s | tournament 18 losers bracket Grand Final |
| 6988s | uh the winner of which we'll go for into |
| 6990s | the actual Grand Final uh against Odin's |
| 6993s | call let's take a look at the bands for |
| 6994s | this upcoming match |
| 6997s | so we form Volta Banning out the |
| 6999s | Nighthawk the Blackbird and the abaddin |
| 7001s | truth honor light Banning out the Osprey |
| 7003s | the hyena and the stormbringer jintan |
| 7005s | your thoughts on this uh yeah here we |
| 7007s | see that both teams have really kind of |
| 7009s | stuck with their Perma ban |
| 7011s | um uh Volta have banned out the abaddin |
| 7013s | which they have banned in every single |
| 7015s | match they have flown in so far in this |
| 7016s | tournament and Truth on the light uh |
| 7019s | have been typically they've they've |
| 7020s | swapped around a lot depending on their |
| 7021s | opponents but that stormbringer has been |
| 7023s | a key component of their band strategy |
| 7025s | I'm not sure entirely why |
| 7027s | um but I think they might have seen |
| 7028s | something in their uh uh in their scrims |
| 7031s | that really scared them about it |
| 7032s | probably the large amount of mids that |
| 7034s | it can bring and its ability to deal |
| 7035s | with drones it is such a powerful |
| 7037s | utility ship uh in this format uh that |
| 7041s | said you know we do see some a bit of |
| 7043s | variation between them we haven't seen |
| 7044s | the Deacon band here we haven't seen the |
| 7046s | Scorpion Navy Band |
| 7048s | um it is always a struggle to see what's |
| 7051s | open though and I'm surprised to see no |
| 7053s | bands from Volta being leveraged at some |
| 7055s | of the comps that we just saw truth on a |
| 7057s | light Brink no Vindicator ban obviously |
| 7059s | truth on the light do not have a |
| 7060s | Vindicator Flagship so they can't work |
| 7062s | their way around the ban and no bar gas |
| 7065s | Bali they're from tooth on a light which |
| 7067s | would have allowed them to bring a bar |
| 7068s | guest using their own Flagship whilst of |
| 7070s | alter obviously cannot bring one as it |
| 7072s | was destroyed just a few moments ago |
| 7074s | that it was indeed now |
| 7077s | um how important do you think that's |
| 7078s | going to be because as you say volta's |
| 7080s | Flagship destroyed in the last match |
| 7082s | truth on the light do have theirs |
| 7083s | available and we may indeed even see it |
| 7085s | fielded in this match who knows uh how |
| 7087s | do you think this is going to affect the |
| 7088s | meta here |
| 7090s | um it's always hard to say it depends on |
| 7091s | what comps these guys are prepared and |
| 7093s | more importantly what ones they feel |
| 7095s | really comfortable especially in this |
| 7096s | first game what I think we're going to |
| 7097s | see is we're going to see both teams |
| 7099s | bring what they think is their best comp |
| 7101s | something that they think they can smash |
| 7102s | the other person with or just out |
| 7103s | execute with and that way even if they |
| 7106s | lose they still have the option of |
| 7107s | bringing it in the next game and then |
| 7109s | whatever was you know whatever got |
| 7110s | brought that they feel like counted it |
| 7112s | isn't going to be available for them in |
| 7114s | the next game due to the conquest plans |
| 7115s | and that basically takes it all the way |
| 7117s | back to a best of one in the third game |
| 7119s | so jinton uh predictions what do you |
| 7121s | think here we from Volta or truth on the |
| 7123s | light I think I've got to go for truth |
| 7125s | on a light in the first game here you |
| 7127s | know truth on the light have not been |
| 7128s | played out quite as much as uh Volta as |
| 7131s | Volta have they've just come off the |
| 7132s | backs of losing a best of three uh they |
| 7135s | only had to win a best of one to get to |
| 7136s | this point uh my money's on Dex and his |
| 7138s | boys and CC's Alice |
| 7141s | ah I think I'm gonna go for truth on a |
| 7144s | light as well I am a big starfight |
| 7146s | Commander fan I will admit |
| 7148s | but I think truth on the light might |
| 7150s | have it okay well I of course will be |
| 7152s | backing we form Volta in this one so |
| 7154s | let's go to the arena and find out for |
| 7156s | this first match in this best of three |
| 7157s | between truth honor light and we form |
| 7159s | Volta |
| 7165s | hello I am moderator joined by my |
| 7167s | colleague Alex card for this lower |
| 7170s | bracket match to determine third in |
| 7173s | second place but this will be your best |
| 7175s | out of three and Truth on the light has |
| 7177s | elected to bring their Flagship bar gas |
| 7179s | piloted by a Dexter axio supported by a |
| 7183s | pair of Rooks for ECM and a pair of |
| 7186s | magus pontifex for links a celestis for |
| 7188s | damps what is Wolf abroad |
| 7192s | Volta has a very interesting Navy based |
| 7195s | setup a Navy Harbinger Navy brutix Fleet |
| 7197s | Kane Harbinger auger two Navy augers and |
| 7200s | navy executor with an arbitrator |
| 7202s | Confessor for support kind of a |
| 7204s | variation of the Octodad but |
| 7206s | uh modified to match this tournament |
| 7209s | format I think it's fascinating it's |
| 7211s | tanky it's going to be very hard for the |
| 7214s | Rooks of Truth honor light to lock down |
| 7216s | this many damage dealers and even if |
| 7218s | they do they might be able to just blast |
| 7220s | through their tanks what do you think |
| 7222s | moderator what are the win conditions |
| 7223s | for these teams |
| 7224s | yeah I think that truth on her light AKA |
| 7227s | Hydra is going to do their very level |
| 7229s | best to |
| 7231s | um you know use the |
| 7234s | strong jams that these Rooks have to |
| 7236s | really lock things down already we see |
| 7238s | that Amelia duck space is going in to |
| 7239s | try to intercept and already volt is |
| 7242s | just burning across the field trying to |
| 7244s | get on top of uh anything |
| 7247s | that can jam and they're getting onto |
| 7250s | the back line trying to get on top of |
| 7251s | these Rooks and once they do that |
| 7253s | they're going to try to go for the |
| 7254s | guardian and then the bar guest |
| 7256s | we're seeing a combination of damage and |
| 7258s | maintenance Bots from waveform Volta but |
| 7261s | they're putting the bulk of their |
| 7262s | aggression onto warpout's Rook he is |
| 7264s | holding for now the guardian doing a |
| 7266s | great job keeping those ships up |
| 7268s | obviously the guardian one of the most |
| 7270s | powerful armor repair ships you could |
| 7271s | bring in the tournament without dropping |
| 7273s | a lot of points on his arm |
| 7275s | uh it is beginning to take some fire |
| 7276s | itself now they may have decided they'd |
| 7278s | give up on Breaking the Rooks tanks and |
| 7280s | they want to pressure his tank directly |
| 7281s | meanwhile Planet 6's auger is getting |
| 7283s | some return aggression from Volta |
| 7288s | uh just because he's probably going to |
| 7290s | be damped down that heavily by niff |
| 7292s | hiking's uh celestis so uh they may go |
| 7295s | for a Logitech right here and that makes |
| 7297s | a lot of sense to me |
| 7298s | um trading a guardian for an Auger is |
| 7300s | going to be a great trade if you're |
| 7302s | Volta |
| 7304s | the Hawker is microwave driving around |
| 7305s | he's actually outrunning his own |
| 7307s | maintenance spots |
| 7309s | they're struggling to keep up with him |
| 7311s | uh I guess he's he's calculating that |
| 7313s | his speed will help minimize more |
| 7315s | meanwhile tick toxic Confessor dipping |
| 7317s | down into half armor this Logistics |
| 7319s | pilot does not have an easy job he's got |
| 7321s | to keep himself alive under withering |
| 7323s | fire but he can't neglect his team tick |
| 7325s | toxic [ __ ] dangerously close into |
| 7327s | structure bleeding it now |
| 7330s | yeah unfortunately one of the problems |
| 7332s | for volt is that they don't want to be |
| 7334s | this close to everything but between all |
| 7336s | the jams that they're getting hit by uh |
| 7338s | we could see that there's gmfx onto five |
| 7340s | ships and everything else is either |
| 7341s | being damped or essentially disrupted in |
| 7345s | some way and that's only going to get |
| 7346s | worse once tick tock goes down they can |
| 7348s | swap off that mid-slaught e-war to some |
| 7351s | other ship on the Volta core I think |
| 7353s | that if Volta doesn't get some kill soon |
| 7355s | it doesn't look like they're getting |
| 7357s | anything they're just going to slowly |
| 7358s | get ground down |
| 7360s | speaking of getting ground down Planet |
| 7362s | six's armor plates are withering under |
| 7364s | the fire and he is about to hit |
| 7367s | structure and go bye-bye very quickly |
| 7370s | uh meanwhile General hungry he's |
| 7372s | starting to take the bulk of damage now |
| 7374s | at this point he's getting into about |
| 7376s | half armor the damage for the Rooks has |
| 7379s | cooled down they may have missed some |
| 7380s | critical Jam Cycles enabling uh we firm |
| 7383s | Volta to get their DPS coordinated onto |
| 7385s | the right target |
| 7387s | this might wind up being a logic trade |
| 7389s | but honestly truth honored light very |
| 7391s | soon they'll have another set of jam |
| 7392s | cycles that could disrupt this plan |
| 7394s | Planet Six does not have that option |
| 7397s | yeah so they on the hydro side had moved |
| 7400s | drones from uh warpouts Rook to General |
| 7402s | Hungary so now all of the lodgy drones |
| 7405s | are on top of General Hungary supporting |
| 7407s | him very very well and unfortunately for |
| 7410s | Planet Six he has really nothing |
| 7412s | supporting |
| 7413s | um him there are some logic drones that |
| 7415s | are trying but nowhere near as effective |
| 7416s | as the ones on the hydro side and it |
| 7420s | looks like uh Dexter axio if we zoom in |
| 7422s | on top of him is not having |
| 7426s | is currently I believe on reload at the |
| 7429s | moment so as soon as he comes off of |
| 7431s | that he should have no trouble applying |
| 7434s | meaningful damage and the auger does go |
| 7437s | down so uh now volt this core is free to |
| 7440s | get picked apart here |
| 7442s | and picked apart they willed aggression |
| 7444s | switching over to Melinda in the |
| 7445s | harbinger the not Navy ship on this team |
| 7449s | uh much lighter in the tank compared to |
| 7451s | these faction ships but still kicking |
| 7453s | out a lot of damage that's a smart call |
| 7455s | from truth honor light meanwhile they're |
| 7457s | not able to answer effectively here uh |
| 7460s | the guardian is no longer pressured the |
| 7462s | Rooks are taking occasional chip damage |
| 7464s | but they're really struggling to put |
| 7466s | coordinated fire onto these ships the |
| 7469s | advantage of the Guardian it's much |
| 7470s | tankier than the auger so it can take a |
| 7473s | bit of a pounding and it's receiving |
| 7475s | quite a bit of aggression but as you |
| 7476s | mentioned those rep drones much more |
| 7479s | effective with the tech 2 resists they |
| 7481s | can put armor in and it doesn't go out |
| 7483s | nearly as easily V4 volts are really |
| 7486s | struggling here and they're about to |
| 7487s | lose a major source of damage with this |
| 7490s | Harbinger yeah and they're about to lose |
| 7492s | their all the remaining Logistics on the |
| 7493s | Volta side you might say well what |
| 7495s | Logistics well they just had a cloud of |
| 7497s | rep drones on top of Melinda eye and the |
| 7499s | Bargas of Dexter axio had the presence |
| 7501s | of mind to get on top of his commit zero |
| 7502s | and just smart Bombs all of the Volta |
| 7505s | remaining repair drones between that and |
| 7508s | Amelia duck space having held down the |
| 7511s | hurricane Fleet issue of control freak |
| 7512s | uh basically all the way in Narnia Volta |
| 7515s | is so strong out that they're having |
| 7516s | difficulty really applying anything |
| 7518s | except damage to the guardian |
| 7522s | oh this is brutal the guardian is taking |
| 7524s | a pretty substantial chunk of fire he's |
| 7526s | now dipping into one-third armor they're |
| 7529s | gradually making progress on him but |
| 7531s | it's got to be so frustrating for them |
| 7533s | every time it looks like they're making |
| 7534s | progress they're getting one of their |
| 7535s | ships jammed out and that Guardian is |
| 7538s | pulling armor hit points back meanwhile |
| 7540s | control freaks just gradually getting |
| 7542s | ground down by Amelia dust space |
| 7544s | uh it looks like the primary for truth |
| 7547s | honor light they're vacillating between |
| 7548s | the hurricane Fleet issue of control |
| 7550s | freak and eye boxes executor Navy issue |
| 7553s | a recently buffed ship |
| 7555s | uh hurricane Fleet issue has great |
| 7556s | tracking you think it would be more of a |
| 7558s | threat to the low end here but it hasn't |
| 7560s | really been able to apply any pressure |
| 7561s | to the frigates and cruisers on this |
| 7563s | team yeah again that's Amelia Ducks face |
| 7566s | excuse me not duck face um taking |
| 7569s | um you know screen duties very seriously |
| 7571s | and holding that hurricane completely |
| 7574s | out of range to anything else and just |
| 7576s | giving General Hungary uh more sustained |
| 7578s | as he honorably solo pvps uh the |
| 7581s | hurricane Fleet issue in the back line |
| 7582s | while the rest of the volt |
| 7584s | damage is being uh trying to concentrate |
| 7588s | on General hungry but the |
| 7589s | extraordinating AV issue being scrammed |
| 7591s | and held down by the bar guest and |
| 7593s | Magnus of tiger |
| 7596s | oh now we're starting to see a little |
| 7597s | bit more progress being made in control |
| 7599s | fleek's Kane that is a mimitar ship it |
| 7601s | does not have much Hull he's already |
| 7603s | lost half of it he's losing more the |
| 7605s | extra Navy meanwhile about to dip into |
| 7607s | structure a bit more uh say it is a |
| 7610s | galenti ship but it's taking more |
| 7612s | aggression from truth honor light and |
| 7614s | they're breaking through him rather |
| 7615s | rapidly both these ships will die at |
| 7617s | about the same time and there they go |
| 7618s | along with any hope of Reform Volta to |
| 7621s | win this match there is just no way that |
| 7623s | these five remaining ships are going to |
| 7625s | be able to coordinate enough fire with |
| 7627s | the ECM power of two Rooks bearing down |
| 7630s | on them scrambling with sensors taunting |
| 7632s | them to shoot these ships which have |
| 7634s | proven time and time again that their |
| 7636s | tanks can handle it the guardian is |
| 7638s | still taking some fire but there's just |
| 7640s | not much progress going to be able to be |
| 7642s | made here |
| 7643s | yeah and even if they work to kill the |
| 7645s | guardian volt this thought would be okay |
| 7647s | well we're not going to win the match so |
| 7648s | we're going to kill Dexter exio but um |
| 7650s | they're not even going to kill the |
| 7652s | guardian of General Hungary uh truth |
| 7654s | honor light just did an excellent job of |
| 7656s | pulling these uh ships apart and making |
| 7658s | sure that uh they couldn't get a lot of |
| 7661s | you know focused fire from Volta onto |
| 7663s | any one of these Rooks and then the |
| 7665s | guardian |
| 7666s | um really difficult match for Volta to |
| 7669s | play they wanted to |
| 7671s | you know get all of their damage on |
| 7673s | concentrate on one target that's really |
| 7675s | what this kind of Octodad setup requires |
| 7679s | but between the disruption from the |
| 7681s | celestis and the the Rooks uh it just |
| 7685s | didn't come together |
| 7688s | now the truth on our light with having |
| 7689s | two ECM ships like that it prevents the |
| 7692s | other team from being able to focus on |
| 7694s | one when they get jammed out they're |
| 7695s | essentially covering for each other and |
| 7698s | splitting up the amount of aggression |
| 7699s | that can effectively be applied it does |
| 7702s | mean the guardian has to balance reps |
| 7703s | between both of them but it's easier |
| 7705s | because the amount of incoming damage to |
| 7707s | either Target is not that substantial so |
| 7710s | we see Starfleet Commander's auger Navy |
| 7711s | dipping and about half armor and |
| 7714s | dropping steadily meanwhile General |
| 7716s | hungry slowly but surely recovering the |
| 7718s | armor that he's lost over the course of |
| 7720s | this match |
| 7721s | this is a total route from truth honor |
| 7723s | light their control bar has been |
| 7725s | absolutely hulk-like since the start of |
| 7727s | the match literally off the charts here |
| 7729s | uh just absolute ECM girth we're seeing |
| 7732s | here in this match as the auger Navy |
| 7735s | goes down soon to be followed by covert |
| 7737s | one's auger Navy |
| 7739s | yeah and I mean that means that Volta |
| 7741s | and Truth Or No Light were going to see |
| 7742s | them again in uh the second match of |
| 7746s | this uh best out of three but critically |
| 7749s | again uh Volta lost their Flagship bar |
| 7752s | guest flown by Annie gar debt in their |
| 7755s | Series against Odin's call in the upper |
| 7757s | bracket whereas Dexter axio still has |
| 7759s | his and is flying it right now and |
| 7762s | they're free to bring it once again into |
| 7764s | the second match but we'll see how the |
| 7766s | conquest bands affect things going into |
| 7768s | this next Set uh Volta is going to have |
| 7770s | relatively short amount of time to |
| 7773s | adjust and try to correct things against |
| 7775s | this very very powerful Hydro Core |
| 7780s | yeah and this is a a concept that Hydra |
| 7784s | slash truth honor light can repeat even |
| 7786s | if the Rook gets banned out there are |
| 7788s | alternative ships they can use in those |
| 7790s | positions and still have basically the |
| 7791s | same concept here the combination of |
| 7794s | strong ECM and the celestis it's very |
| 7798s | difficult to manage when you have a team |
| 7799s | at the skill level of Truth on her light |
| 7801s | and now we're looking down at the final |
| 7803s | ship in the match crazy vanya's |
| 7805s | arbitrator |
| 7807s | he is kind of off on his own he's not |
| 7809s | near one of the micro jump beacons so he |
| 7811s | will not be shooting for the Edge of |
| 7813s | Glory he will get run down by the tackle |
| 7815s | on Truth honor light and brought to heal |
| 7817s | shortly |
| 7818s | but will they do it before the countdown |
| 7820s | uh well 13 seconds left in the match |
| 7823s | here add honestly uh Volta and losing to |
| 7828s | ECM core's name a more iconic Duo as |
| 7831s | Hydra wins 94 to nil as we send it back |
| 7835s | to the desk to break that one down |
| 7840s | [Music] |
| 7854s | thank you |

| 7923s | [Music] |
| 7937s | truth on our light they're flying that |
| 7939s | Flagship bar gets to great effect taking |
| 7941s | the W over we form Volta in this first |
| 7944s | match in the lower bracket best of three |
| 7946s | finals uh the winner of which will go |
| 7948s | through to face Odin's call in the Grand |
| 7950s | Final a pretty hard-fought match uh we |
| 7953s | saw planet six AKA reload doing an |
| 7956s | amazing job to stay alive in Agra for |
| 7959s | such a long period of time meanwhile uh |
| 7961s | the Vault team you could see them trying |
| 7962s | to take their General hungry in that |
| 7964s | Guardian but the power of the ECM coming |
| 7966s | from those Rooks just continuously when |
| 7968s | it looked like they were going to get |
| 7969s | and they got almost into Hull and then |
| 7972s | the damage dropped off the scram dropped |
| 7973s | off the web dropped off as the uh the |
| 7976s | ECM took hold now Jin tan uh two Rooks |
| 7979s | is kind of uh unusual um why not maybe |
| 7982s | say like a rook in a falcon |
| 7984s | um so the reason for that is the fact |
| 7985s | that the Rook gets um bonuses to heavy |
| 7988s | missiles so it can actually project a |
| 7990s | reasonable amount of damage across the |
| 7991s | arena whereas the Falcon is stuck with a |
| 7994s | relatively small bonus and no optimal |
| 7996s | bonus I believe on its |
| 7999s | um uh normally you'd fit it with rail |
| 8001s | guns I would not advise fitting a falcon |
| 8003s | with Blasters for any of you aspiring |
| 8004s | PVP is out there |
| 8007s | um and because of that you know using |
| 8008s | the Rook means that those 30 points you |
| 8011s | invest in those two uh those two |
| 8014s | electronic electronic warfare ships |
| 8016s | aren't going to be as detrimental to |
| 8019s | your overall DPS output you saw even |
| 8021s | with you know the two Rooks there kind |
| 8024s | of putting a little bit of help onto |
| 8025s | things and the power of that Flagship |
| 8028s | bar guest it was still a pretty slow go |
| 8030s | you know that auguran nearly held on uh |
| 8033s | right at the end kiting right to the |
| 8035s | other end of the Arena a cloud of rep |
| 8037s | drones following him you know there's |
| 8039s | every chance that you know Planet sex |
| 8041s | could have survived if um things had |
| 8043s | just gone a little bit a little bit |
| 8045s | better for him if a couple of damage |
| 8046s | rolls hadn't gone quite uh truth on the |
| 8049s | lights away that said uh the money is |
| 8051s | definitely in truth on a light's favor |
| 8053s | here their Flagship is incredibly |
| 8055s | expensive we've seen that they have |
| 8057s | Esther males rapid heavy metals that |
| 8060s | which are you know you're looking at 120 |
| 8062s | 20 bill or more for the guns alone on |
| 8065s | that ship and uh now part of me really |
| 8067s | hopes it dies because I want to see just |
| 8068s | how blingy it really is yeah I mean |
| 8071s | everyone wants to see expensive |
| 8072s | expensive kill meals I am e expensive |
| 8075s | killer enjoy it for sure now CCP Castro |
| 8078s | um the why would you pick an auger over |
| 8081s | a guardian like a guardian is a tattoo |
| 8082s | resist it reps more what's the benefit |
| 8084s | of taking yogurt in the main benefit of |
| 8087s | the orgrah in the context of the |
| 8088s | alliance tournament is the fact that it |
| 8090s | uses a lot less points than the guardian |
| 8092s | word I believe you save something like |
| 8093s | seven or eight points that means you can |
| 8095s | reinvest those points into other ships |
| 8097s | like for example Vault were able to |
| 8099s | bring like a lot of battle cruises there |
| 8100s | if they brought a guardian they would |
| 8102s | have to downgrade a lot of the those |
| 8104s | into just regular battle Cruisers or |
| 8105s | into like Navy Cruisers instead which |
| 8107s | would greatly reduce their DPS and |
| 8109s | projection |
| 8110s | and gentan um what kind of possession do |
| 8113s | you think Volta in now because not only |
| 8115s | have they dropped that first match and |
| 8117s | they haven't been able to take out that |
| 8118s | Flagship so that can be brought again |
| 8120s | next match despite the the bands because |
| 8121s | it is a flagship it is a band Dodger |
| 8124s | um Volta can't do what Odin's did and |
| 8126s | just try and headshot the flagship now |
| 8128s | in the second one and sacrifice the |
| 8129s | match because then he would go all two |
| 8131s | down and bear to the tournament not a |
| 8133s | good position no this is a really rough |
| 8135s | position for Volta they're gonna need to |
| 8137s | make something make something really |
| 8139s | special happen here they've got to go |
| 8141s | pull out their Ace and Ace in their |
| 8143s | sleeve bring out the best possible |
| 8144s | composition they have and you know truth |
| 8147s | on the light get the luxury of having |
| 8149s | that rubber game they can bring |
| 8151s | something that's a little gambly they |
| 8152s | can bring something as a little risky uh |
| 8154s | you know they have every opportunity to |
| 8156s | say bring the max threat version that's |
| 8158s | kind of their version of the composition |
| 8160s | we just saw uh Volta bring but wait the |
| 8163s | Blackbirds that they like to use instead |
| 8165s | of the arbitrator you know really |
| 8166s | heavily towards one uh races jams and |
| 8169s | that will enable them to just if they |
| 8171s | guess right completely wipe the win away |
| 8173s | from Volta that's something that we |
| 8175s | didn't talk about when we previously |
| 8176s | explained ECM is that you have this kind |
| 8178s | of guessing game before you actually get |
| 8180s | into a match where you can try and |
| 8181s | weight your bands and then you know pick |
| 8184s | the right color effectively and match |
| 8187s | match up your jams correctly to what you |
| 8188s | think your opponents are going to bring |
| 8189s | and if you do that correctly you can |
| 8192s | cross jam between two different ships |
| 8194s | make sure that they can't concentrate |
| 8195s | their DPS and burn something down and |
| 8198s | just generally make your opponent's life |
| 8200s | absolutely miserable |
| 8202s | indeed you can |
| 8204s | now |
| 8205s | um we are in a incredibly wonderful |
| 8207s | station the new Interiors uh the new |
| 8210s | upwell hangers and they look absolutely |
| 8211s | incredible this one's actually filled |
| 8213s | with a line instrument price ships I'm |
| 8215s | not sure if you can see them on stream |
| 8216s | but we have a there's a vangle down |
| 8217s | there I see a laylapse uh there's |
| 8219s | definitely a gold magnate down there uh |
| 8221s | looks like maybe an imp as well a whole |
| 8223s | bunch of really nice ships it's super |
| 8224s | cool to be able to see all those ships |
| 8225s | in your Hangar uh let's check in with |
| 8227s | CCB Benson for a little bit more detail |
| 8229s | about that |
| 8235s | we decided to visually after the Apple |
| 8238s | hangers |
| 8239s | because it's a place that players spend |
| 8242s | a lot of time in it's also an |
| 8244s | environment for us to try out new things |
| 8246s | because they're kind of content in this |
| 8248s | Hangar environment so we used it to push |
| 8251s | a lot of new tech stuff that is giving |
| 8255s | us a lot of possibilities in the future |
| 8259s | the main part also that we wanted to |
| 8261s | emphasize is the scale of the game so |
| 8264s | within the hangers there is this main |
| 8266s | horse and in that one for the first time |
| 8270s | now we have multiple |
| 8271s | placements for ships which gives players |
| 8275s | a sense of scale between the ships also |
| 8278s | to be able to you know see what ships |
| 8282s | they have in their hunger inventory |
| 8283s | before I would have been like why would |
| 8286s | I want to talk in a hanger you know now |
| 8288s | I'm like why would I ever want to leave |
| 8289s | the hanger it's it's amazing it's a it's |
| 8292s | way more visceral way more like |
| 8295s | interesting as you just you're able to |
| 8297s | like swap between ships and it'll fly |
| 8299s | through the hangar get the boosters |
| 8302s | going off and then actually taking off |
| 8305s | if you uh and there's actually a couple |
| 8308s | different like ways uh or like West for |
| 8312s | you to play with your ship kind of uh so |
| 8314s | you can hit cancel and if you hit cancel |
| 8315s | in the first second then the shift will |
| 8318s | go |
| 8319s | and then all the lights and all the |
| 8320s | stuff is going on and I think it's kind |
| 8322s | of taking off but if you hit cancel and |
| 8323s | go back down like oh |
| 8325s | if you cancel just like two seconds in |
| 8328s | uh then it'll actually take off and |
| 8330s | it'll do a little fly around the hangar |
| 8332s | which is really really sweet so you |
| 8334s | actually get to fly around in hangers |
| 8336s | a little bit and if you do cancel after |
| 8341s | the third second then well you're not |
| 8343s | canceling you're you're taking you made |
| 8345s | the decision you know you lost a chance |
| 8346s | you're going out |
| 8356s | there we are the new hangers in the |
| 8358s | world expansion for Eve uh incredible |
| 8360s | work they look awesome uh I know I've |
| 8364s | spent a bunch of time just looking at my |
| 8365s | ships and my hangers now c2b Kestrel |
| 8369s | um some other new things that came in |
| 8370s | Uprising is the all the Navy ships the |
| 8372s | new Navy ships talk to me about those |
| 8373s | yeah so in Uprising uh we released 16 |
| 8376s | new Navy ships so full Navy exploration |
| 8378s | frigates for Navy battle cruisers for |
| 8380s | Navy destroyers and four Navy |
| 8381s | dreadnoughts we also uh updated I |
| 8385s | believe five of the existing Navy uh |
| 8387s | ships the Armageddon Navy issue the |
| 8389s | Dominic's Navy issued a typhoon Fleet |
| 8391s | issue the extra Aviation the character |
| 8392s | Navy issue on top of that there was also |
| 8394s | a balanced pass on heavier saw cruises |
| 8397s | and then we also got through about six |
| 8400s | or seven extra ships on top of that like |
| 8401s | the ishka the crow the bellicose the |
| 8403s | rifter that just needed a little more |
| 8405s | help |
| 8406s | so yeah there's there's been a lot added |
| 8408s | here like if you if you count the |
| 8410s | existing ships that got rebalanced we've |
| 8411s | touched something like 35 ships that's |
| 8414s | awesome and uh of those do you have a |
| 8416s | favorite uh something you really like |
| 8417s | flying there uh personally I really love |
| 8419s | the extra Navy issue I think it's really |
| 8420s | cool it's really cool that a ton of |
| 8422s | teams have been flying into the uh |
| 8423s | Alliance tournament I've been watching |
| 8425s | like the eve metrics that we have for it |
| 8427s | and before it was the the least shoes |
| 8429s | Navy Cruiser in the game it was like 200 |
| 8432s | jumps like every day or so with those |
| 8434s | ships and now it's like gone up by like |
| 8436s | 10 times so pretty happy that people are |
| 8439s | flying their ship now yeah it's always |
| 8440s | been a chef I've quite enjoyed actually |
| 8442s | but it's nice to see you getting that |
| 8443s | bounce pass |
| 8445s | um one of the things that's maybe worth |
| 8446s | mentioning actually is uh whenever the |
| 8448s | alliance tournament is announced the |
| 8450s | rules come out at a certain point and |
| 8451s | all the ships are uh pointed to a |
| 8453s | certain value depending on their |
| 8455s | strengths and |
| 8457s | um the teams start practicing and coming |
| 8458s | up with comps and things when there's an |
| 8460s | announcement that there isn't going to |
| 8461s | be a change uh that's going to drop just |
| 8463s | before the alliance tournament captains |
| 8465s | everywhere start tearing their hair out |
| 8466s | because now they have to consider all |
| 8468s | the New Balance changes and balance |
| 8469s | implications that have luckily CCP |
| 8471s | zealous uh was a generous girl in this |
| 8474s | instance and actually banned out the new |
| 8476s | Navy battle cruisers for example he |
| 8477s | didn't force teams to figure out how to |
| 8480s | use them or even get them because they |
| 8481s | were so new that they're not the easiest |
| 8483s | things to get a hold of and I'm sure |
| 8485s | that would have been a hecking pressure |
| 8487s | for all those teams uh now we do have |
| 8490s | another one of these uh Quiz videos uh |
| 8492s | to show you and you can look at us |
| 8494s | failing yet again to answer questions |
| 8499s | [Music] |
| 8503s | thank you |
| 8509s | uh I'll say hurricane hurricane Fleet |
| 8512s | issue uh cyclone |
| 8517s | oh God okay uh cyclone |
| 8521s | I don't want to say cyclone |

| 8548s | I'm gonna still go with Munich on it not |
| 8551s | 100 on that one |
| 8554s | [Music] |
| 8560s | cycling |
| 8561s | rupture |
| 8563s | uh safely touch you |
| 8567s | I'm gonna go with safely issue but |
| 8569s | that's definitely a trick question |
| 8571s | uh rupture uh |
| 8575s | Scythe leadership |
| 8580s | I'll say the probe |
| 8583s | pretty true |
| 8585s | probe probe |
| 8588s | I'm going with some breacher on that one |
| 8589s | [Music] |
| 8602s | these uh these interview questions were |
| 8605s | it was super fun to do uh it was set up |
| 8607s | by uh some of the the students here at |
| 8609s | the confetti Institute uh who are been |
| 8612s | helping us with production in the back |
| 8614s | um you know doing a lot of the rigging |
| 8615s | the lights the sound the camera and |
| 8617s | everything a fantastic job and during |
| 8618s | the week they set up all the filming |
| 8620s | um they you know recorded it uh discrete |
| 8622s | air one of our event staff read out the |
| 8624s | questions uh BR Jr sat in the background |
| 8627s | and giggled um very unhelpfully and |
| 8629s | whenever we got things wrong which was |
| 8630s | regular |
| 8632s | um and then it's been edited together by |
| 8633s | another one of the the staff and |
| 8634s | students here at the confetti Institute |
| 8636s | so fantastic job from everyone involved |
| 8638s | uh you made us all look like complete |
| 8640s | [ __ ] good job now um we have about six |
| 8643s | minutes to go until the second match in |
| 8645s | this best of three in the uh the lower |
| 8647s | bracket final so this is now essentially |
| 8649s | an elimination match for Volta |
| 8651s | um if they lose they are out of the |
| 8653s | whole tournament they would take uh |
| 8654s | third place I believe at this point |
| 8656s | um and uh truth on the light would go |
| 8658s | forward into the Grand Final if Volta |
| 8661s | can pull this one out then there's one |
| 8662s | more match where it goes down to just at |
| 8664s | that point it's the best of one but |
| 8665s | there are Conquest bands in place so |
| 8667s | let's take a look at the bands for this |
| 8668s | upcoming match |
| 8671s | we from Volta Banning out the EOS the |
| 8674s | Blackbird and the kitsuni truth on a |
| 8676s | light Banning out the Osprey the hyena |
| 8677s | and the stormbringer now interestingly |
| 8679s | the Rooks uh from 2008 will be of course |
| 8682s | Conquest bands that takes a lot of ECM |
| 8685s | Powers there gentan what are your |
| 8686s | thoughts yeah this is a really |
| 8688s | interesting set of bands here uh first |
| 8690s | of all we see that Volta have not banned |
| 8691s | the abandon that is something they've |
| 8692s | banned for every single match they've |
| 8694s | flown so far in this tournament so it |
| 8696s | looks like they are committing really |
| 8697s | hard to whatever strategy they have and |
| 8699s | either they don't think the abandon can |
| 8701s | beat it or they don't think truth on a |
| 8702s | light is going to bring it meanwhile |
| 8704s | truth on the light they are showing |
| 8705s | absolutely nothing as they have all day |
| 8707s | this is the same set of bands that they |
| 8709s | have dropped the third time in a row uh |
| 8712s | they just don't want to see the Osprey |
| 8713s | probably a band towards that ham Rush |
| 8716s | setup that we've seen be so frequently |
| 8718s | in the tournament the hyena as well just |
| 8720s | a great control ship can go into both |
| 8721s | armor and shield and the Stormbreaker it |
| 8723s | has so many mids and the ability to |
| 8725s | destroy rep drones you know probably |
| 8727s | something that they don't want to deal |
| 8729s | with with that dual Battleship control |
| 8730s | setup we saw earlier which you know |
| 8733s | repair drones are such a crucial part of |
| 8735s | making that thing tick yeah let's have a |
| 8737s | look at the conquest bands now and see |
| 8739s | how a true thunder light will be |
| 8740s | impacted to go into this next match so |
| 8741s | not only do they have the previous bands |
| 8743s | um the Confessor the vexer the bar guest |
| 8746s | the pontifex the guardian The Sentinel |
| 8748s | the celestis the rook and the Magus are |
| 8751s | all banned so a bunch of ships that they |
| 8754s | can no longer fly CP Kestrel any any |
| 8756s | thoughts on what we might see here from |
| 8757s | truth on the light I think for the most |
| 8759s | part they're pretty much forced into |
| 8761s | just doing some kind of Shield rush or |
| 8763s | should cutting comp they did ban out the |
| 8765s | hyena which probably hurts the The |
| 8769s | Shield cutting compound a little bit but |
| 8771s | they still have you know the Osprey Navy |
| 8773s | issue the character Navy issue The |
| 8774s | Nighthawks the Loki uh the Scimitar |
| 8777s | those kind of ships they're all |
| 8778s | available they can still bring their |
| 8779s | Flagship barges which could also work |
| 8781s | pretty well in there so I'd expect |
| 8783s | something like that from from the light |
| 8786s | now Jin tan one of the cool things about |
| 8788s | this particular lower bracket final best |
| 8791s | of three is it's essentially a repeat of |
| 8793s | what happened last year in Alliance |
| 8795s | tournament uh 17 where we saw we found |
| 8797s | Volta win and got into the Grand Final |
| 8801s | um uh actually so they'd be uh vidra to |
| 8803s | go into the Grand Final I think do you |
| 8805s | remember what happened |
| 8807s | I'm pretty sure yeah they beat they beat |
| 8809s | vidra in the winners bracket I believe |
| 8812s | but then they lost to |
| 8813s | uh Hydra and then they lost the Hydra |
| 8816s | again right I think so at the end of the |
| 8818s | day Hydra won last year against Volta in |
| 8819s | the final so this is kind of like a |
| 8821s | little rematch of that gentan your |
| 8823s | thoughts on this upcoming matchup yeah I |
| 8825s | think it's going to be really |
| 8826s | interesting I think Volta are going to |
| 8827s | take a game here |
| 8829s | um you know they've got so much to play |
| 8830s | with they're really committing to a |
| 8832s | strategy and Truth on a light you know |
| 8834s | they haven't really shown anything it |
| 8836s | feels like they're just taking this as a |
| 8837s | rubber game that said I think this is |
| 8839s | going to come down a lot too you know |
| 8841s | what they've heard in the Grapevine |
| 8842s | honestly sometimes once you get this |
| 8844s | deep in a tournament this deep in the |
| 8845s | series it's a question of you know what |
| 8847s | you're hearing from people who are |
| 8848s | friends of friends of people on the team |
| 8850s | you know what do you know about that |
| 8852s | what they think is strong what do you |
| 8854s | know that they've developed that maybe |
| 8855s | you might you know have have developed a |
| 8857s | counter or scrimmed with yourself and |
| 8859s | also what have you kind of observed |
| 8861s | we've got now 10 plus games for most of |
| 8864s | these teams that you can go back and |
| 8865s | watch you can look for pilots who you |
| 8867s | don't think are positioning very well or |
| 8869s | that you don't think are managing their |
| 8870s | traversal very well although I will say |
| 8872s | pilot to this level generally not not |
| 8874s | making very many mistakes we haven't |
| 8875s | really seen any major piloting errors so |
| 8878s | far today but still you can pick on |
| 8880s | people you can force you know two three |
| 8882s | ships at something someone at once try |
| 8884s | and pressure them into mistake and then |
| 8886s | snowball off the back of that because |
| 8887s | these matches at this point just become |
| 8890s | such a test of |
| 8892s | keeping everything executing correctly |
| 8895s | yeah and that pressure of course will |
| 8897s | have been building and building |
| 8897s | especially for a team in the situation |
| 8899s | that volta's in right now and they've |
| 8901s | also just lost the the last match here |
| 8903s | against truth on the light and they come |
| 8904s | off a uh O2 defeat to Odin's call in the |
| 8908s | upper bracket final just before that so |
| 8909s | they have essentially lost three matches |
| 8911s | in a row which uh you know they're |
| 8913s | obviously still in it at this point but |
| 8914s | the the emotional toll of of losing a |
| 8918s | couple of matches it Steph definitely |
| 8919s | supposed to get to you you know you've |
| 8921s | both flown in them CCP Castle you flew |
| 8922s | with um Hydra previous points and camel |
| 8925s | Empire you know what it's like when |
| 8926s | you're in situations where you know |
| 8928s | you've really really trying and you |
| 8929s | still lose a match and it's how hard is |
| 8931s | it to just not be tilted and go into the |
| 8933s | next match it's like fresh it can be |
| 8935s | super hard especially I know from being |
| 8937s | on the Hydra team in 8015 where we lost |
| 8940s | the first match against Tempest calcif |
| 8941s | and the realities of us uh realizing |
| 8945s | that not only would we have to win like |
| 8947s | 10 best of ones just to get into like |
| 8950s | the prize position but we'd have to play |
| 8952s | like free game almost every single day |
| 8954s | so it was it was really really rough but |
| 8957s | luckily we kept our cool we actually |
| 8958s | ended up getting second place that year |
| 8960s | so and jintan like you've been in sort |
| 8963s | of leadership positions in some teams |
| 8965s | like how do you motivate your players |
| 8967s | and to sort of to keep you know steady |
| 8969s | and you know get ready for the next |
| 8971s | match |
| 8972s | uh honestly a lot of time you know the |
| 8973s | people who are part of your team they're |
| 8974s | gonna be naturally motivated it's all |
| 8976s | about keeping their emotions in check |
| 8978s | you know at the end of a match you need |
| 8980s | to be able to reset people properly you |
| 8982s | need to be able to calm them down be |
| 8983s | like okay let's stop talking about why |
| 8985s | we lost that last match unless it's |
| 8987s | something that's going to be really |
| 8988s | relevant to what we're doing here's what |
| 8990s | we're going to do for the next one |
| 8991s | here's how we're going to win the next |
| 8992s | game here's the my analysis of what we |
| 8994s | think they're going to bring here you |
| 8996s | know it's all about moving on quickly |
| 8998s | keeping everyone focused and keeping |
| 9000s | everything keeping that kind of |
| 9001s | conversation positive you know if you |
| 9003s | see people start to rage out or you see |
| 9005s | people stopping their ships at the end |
| 9007s | of matches that's normally a sign that |
| 9009s | things aren't going great and you know |
| 9011s | we have seen a little bit of that from |
| 9012s | Volta uh hopefully they can channel that |
| 9014s | in a positive direction though yeah |
| 9016s | sometimes you see teams either trying to |
| 9018s | prolong a match so they've got longer to |
| 9021s | discuss it |
| 9022s | um make the other team still work to to |
| 9024s | clear them off or sometimes alternative |
| 9026s | to that they're trying to end it super |
| 9027s | quickly so they can go back in and uh |
| 9029s | you know think about what they're doing |
| 9031s | in fact in the last match we saw uh |
| 9033s | theronth actually a master self-destruct |
| 9035s | his ship in the arena before he was |
| 9037s | killed uh I think in an effort to you |
| 9039s | know say hey we've lost this match I |
| 9040s | would like to just go focus on the next |
| 9042s | one now |
| 9043s | um CTP Castro if you're the Walter |
| 9045s | Captain say what you what are you doing |
| 9046s | to you know talk to you guys at this |
| 9048s | point yeah I think you just need to like |
| 9050s | cut like jinton said just calm everyone |
| 9052s | down reset everyone and just think about |
| 9053s | how you're going to win the next match I |
| 9055s | think the next match has won the voltage |
| 9057s | hopefully should be able to win just |
| 9059s | because of the conquest spans |
| 9060s | uh you know that Hydra is probably going |
| 9062s | to be forced into doing either something |
| 9063s | really weird with armor or into like a |
| 9066s | shield Rush setup so let's just fly |
| 9068s | something that we're really comfortable |
| 9069s | against uh The Shield Rush team get a |
| 9072s | win and then once we're once we have |
| 9073s | that win we've got the high of that win |
| 9075s | and then we can just come in confident |
| 9077s | to the third and final game |
| 9078s | yeah so um the teams are warping to the |
| 9080s | arena right now |
| 9081s | um you can see this is where the |
| 9083s | pressure starts to get not only for the |
| 9084s | teams I have to submit get everyone into |
| 9086s | ships and things like that but also for |
| 9087s | the ref crew it's quite a lot to do |
| 9090s | these matches one after the other uh the |
| 9092s | pilots though are going to be sitting |
| 9094s | ready to go uh so gentan let's uh let's |
| 9096s | get quick predictions |
| 9098s | I'm going to predict that Volta will |
| 9099s | take this one and CCP Kestrel I think |
| 9102s | Volta will win this one yeah oh boy I |
| 9105s | also I'm going to predict Volta I'm not |
| 9106s | sure if that's wise but let's go to the |
| 9108s | arena and find out in this uh next up |
| 9110s | best of three between we from Volta and |
| 9112s | Truth on a light |
| 9118s | and we're back with the second match of |
| 9121s | Volta and Truth honor light Volta |
| 9123s | bringing their own barcast now double |
| 9125s | Drake Navy semi stork triple jackdawg |
| 9129s | with a vigil skybreaker for support and |
| 9132s | they are looking to kite at long range |
| 9133s | with these ships moderator what do we |
| 9135s | have on Truth honor Light Side |
| 9137s | oh yeah we have a bit of a variant of |
| 9140s | um what we are calling like uh you know |
| 9143s | 2022 Octodad where we have two command |
| 9146s | ships the hurricane Fleet issue and |
| 9148s | Oracle auger two exact name these and an |
| 9151s | auger Navy issue supported by uh hakate |
| 9154s | uh which will either be some sort of |
| 9156s | tackle or rail variant and a Mauler for |
| 9158s | tackle as well uh we're already getting |
| 9161s | started here uh and already the Scimitar |
| 9164s | getting absolutely pounded of a while |
| 9165s | load using two three four |
| 9169s | uh of his ASB now five charges as the uh |
| 9173s | Hakata gets traded so they're going to |
| 9175s | look to pressure the the Scimitar |
| 9177s | um who's used six |
| 9180s | of his charges now seven so he's only |
| 9182s | got two left in the tank uh meanwhile uh |
| 9185s | Lucas Quan is being uh primaried heavily |
| 9187s | in the counterpart so uh Planet Six is |
| 9189s | now out of ASB reps in his scimitar |
| 9192s | and waveform Volta looking to at least |
| 9194s | trade their logic here they switched |
| 9196s | over to the auger almost immediately |
| 9198s | after the hecatee went down as they saw |
| 9200s | their Scimitar taking fire these ships |
| 9202s | will get down at the same time leveling |
| 9203s | the playing field that's a really good |
| 9205s | reaction call from waveform Volta they |
| 9207s | are now one ship up in this trade but |
| 9209s | unfortunately for them truth honor light |
| 9210s | has an insane amount of projection and |
| 9213s | they're killing covert one's jacked off |
| 9214s | those jackdaws will likely have e war in |
| 9216s | the mids to help cut the damage down |
| 9218s | even further starfully commanders soon |
| 9220s | to follow these jackdaws cannot keep up |
| 9223s | yeah no these jackets are probably too |
| 9225s | close for comfort uh for the Volta side |
| 9227s | uh because those were all the um e-war |
| 9230s | mids along with maybe the stork and the |
| 9232s | sky breaker and once those go down |
| 9235s | um I mean those are 200 250 damage ships |
| 9237s | uh the Oracle of Amelia duck space uh |
| 9240s | does go down for that but |
| 9243s | um honest to God truth on her light |
| 9244s | looks like they're in the driver's seat |
| 9246s | right now |
| 9247s | um as diggy is getting down pretty low |
| 9250s | yeah if your truth on your light you're |
| 9251s | really happy with that trade the Oracle |
| 9253s | was a gigantic source of their |
| 9255s | long-range damage projection but they |
| 9257s | did what they needed it to do is the |
| 9259s | stork drops they cut down a tremendous |
| 9261s | amount of the electronic warfare from |
| 9263s | the Wii form Volta team they have |
| 9264s | practically no tracking disruption left |
| 9266s | which means the rest of the truth honor |
| 9269s | light team is going to be projecting Out |
| 9270s | full damage full range full tracking and |
| 9273s | they're gonna shred this bar guest as |
| 9275s | the executor Navy of Casper 24 will |
| 9278s | likely die in response |
| 9280s | yeah the executive Navy is just chasing |
| 9282s | after the bar guest realizing that he's |
| 9284s | gonna die no matter what they're going |
| 9286s | to push all the damage they can onto the |
| 9288s | spargas not wanting to get into a |
| 9289s | situation where the truth honor Light |
| 9292s | Side wouldn't have enough to break |
| 9293s | whatever active tank any guard got has |
| 9295s | again this is a Tech Two Bar guest as |
| 9298s | Andy gargett lost his Flagship earlier |
| 9300s | so he's only going to have those type 2 |
| 9301s | tank and it's not keeping up but Kadesh |
| 9304s | Priestess is going down for it |
| 9306s | it's a great trade as you mentioned the |
| 9308s | the local tank of the barcast will be |
| 9311s | stronger the fewer ships truth honor |
| 9313s | light has so taking it out early is 100 |
| 9316s | the right call they're gonna love this |
| 9318s | trade of an execure Navy for the bar |
| 9320s | guest and now there's just two Drake |
| 9322s | navies for damage the vigil skybreaker |
| 9324s | they're contributing some utility the |
| 9327s | sky breaker going down for his troubles |
| 9328s | the vigil will be painting but it's not |
| 9330s | going to do a ton the two Drake navies |
| 9332s | are really carrying the bulk of the |
| 9334s | damage from we form Volta here and |
| 9335s | unfortunately their attack bar is |
| 9338s | minuscule compared to truth honor lights |
| 9340s | they have now the advantage in defense |
| 9342s | and attack and there is no applied |
| 9344s | control left from waveform Volta truth |
| 9346s | honor light in the driver's seat for |
| 9348s | this match as they look to clean up |
| 9350s | yeah both sides already saying good |
| 9352s | fights Casper 24 long time Hydra uh |
| 9355s | pilot saying good good fight which this |
| 9357s | was finals |
| 9359s | um Starfleet Commander saying good game |
| 9361s | this was volta's last Alliance |
| 9363s | tournament uh we'll see if he actually |
| 9366s | um holds to that and Volta doesn't |
| 9368s | participate in future Alliance |
| 9370s | tournaments but uh so far it looks like |
| 9372s | unless Hydra somehow catastrophically |
| 9375s | runs out of the Arena uh like Volta will |
| 9378s | go out uh two nil much like this |
| 9380s | ecuadoric tar match uh in the World Cup |
| 9384s | yeah total opposite of the match that we |
| 9387s | saw earlier which was more about careful |
| 9389s | control from truth honor light for this |
| 9391s | one they went full aggression basically |
| 9393s | copying we formed both the setup from |
| 9396s | the previous match and saying hey we'll |
| 9398s | show you how to run it the right way |
| 9399s | here |
| 9403s | um yeah |
| 9404s | I I can't help but feel like again a |
| 9406s | Hydra has definitely practiced Conquest |
| 9410s | bands against their uh practice partner |
| 9412s | lock range enjoyers who has been limited |
| 9416s | earlier they've been |
| 9419s | um you know preparing for again the |
| 9422s | first place run really uh again for |
| 9424s | truth honor if they don't get first |
| 9425s | place in the tournament they consider it |
| 9426s | something of a failure |
| 9429s | um a little bit of trash talk in local |
| 9431s | uh with missing skill issue uh two two |
| 9435s | nil is going to be the the set here as |
| 9438s | control freak is the last meaningful |
| 9439s | damage ship we're leaving only the vigil |
| 9441s | of uh crazy Vanya and uh Hydra will be |
| 9445s | going up against |
| 9447s | um Odin's call down uh 1-0 in a best out |
| 9450s | of five so |
| 9452s | um |
| 9453s | hydra's still having their Flagship and |
| 9456s | that'll be interesting to see |
| 9458s | the video right now is just uh he's |
| 9460s | running to live here he's extremely fast |
| 9462s | he's getting painted by at least three |
| 9465s | ships so they are going to apply some |
| 9467s | damage to him but it will be a bit slow |
| 9468s | I think he's definitely going to go down |
| 9470s | before the end here at the The Last |
| 9473s | Stand of we form Volta potentially ever |
| 9475s | in the alliance tournament if local is |
| 9477s | to be believed I think that would be a |
| 9479s | tragedy but this is a good tournament |
| 9482s | performance to hang their hat on they've |
| 9484s | come very far had some very impressive |
| 9486s | matches unfortunately truth honor light |
| 9488s | just a little too much for them in this |
| 9490s | instance as crazy Vanya beelines |
| 9493s | potentially for the edge here |
| 9495s | yeah crazy Vania just trying to burn |
| 9497s | around not get wanting to get hit by |
| 9499s | that long range uh projection and let's |
| 9502s | see I mean uh Hydra for |
| 9505s | um their history has had a bit of |
| 9507s | difficulty |
| 9509s | um you know in these best out of five |
| 9511s | they call it kind of curse of getting |
| 9513s | second place repeatedly uh I don't think |
| 9515s | though they've ever lost against |
| 9518s | um Odin's call in any you know best out |
| 9521s | of Series so it will be interesting to |
| 9524s | see if that curse still applies |
| 9526s | um people again saying good luck in next |
| 9528s | match and looking forward to the finals |
| 9530s | here |
| 9532s | oh it's gonna be an epic finals indeed |
| 9537s | this visual is uh really stringing out |
| 9539s | our broadcast here he is doing his best |
| 9542s | to stay alive here he's actually |
| 9544s | recovering some Shields as I believe |
| 9547s | truth on a light is taking the |
| 9548s | opportunity to loot |
| 9550s | they're just kinda |
| 9552s | hanging out they are attempting to |
| 9554s | Shadow him but the vigil just so much |
| 9556s | faster and they finally got tracking on |
| 9558s | how the vigil goes down we'll throw it |
| 9560s | back to the desk to prep for our main |
| 9561s | event for the evening signing out for |
| 9563s | Alexa of card and moderator |
| 9567s | [Music] |
| 9584s | thank you |

| 9605s | [Music] |
| 9631s | [Music] |
| 9637s | did it |
| 9646s | we form Volta exiting Alliance |
| 9649s | tournament 18 in third place as they |
| 9651s | drop that match to truth honor light and |
| 9654s | we're going to go to a break until the |
| 9656s | Grand Final let the teams have a chance |
| 9657s | to prepare I just wanted to say for me |
| 9659s | uh the Volta team was nice enough to let |
| 9661s | me be part of the team for the last |
| 9662s | couple of years and I've really enjoyed |
| 9664s | practicing with them it's a super cool |
| 9666s | bunch of dudes uh Annie and Starfleet |
| 9669s | and reload to be in this the main 3D |
| 9670s | Crafters this year of course crazy video |
| 9672s | as well |
| 9673s | um everyone's been super supportive in |
| 9675s | practices people doing like uh like |
| 9677s | spotting each other over a Discord and |
| 9679s | like sort of giving tips and things it's |
| 9681s | been really constructive and it's been |
| 9682s | uh just awesome to be part of and I'm |
| 9685s | always a little bit sad that I can't |
| 9686s | actually fly with them in the arena |
| 9687s | because I'm here instead but uh yeah |
| 9690s | they secure third place and that is them |
| 9691s | done for the day so Theron doesn't have |
| 9693s | to grind any more matches he'll be |
| 9695s | pleased with that |
| 9696s | um yup well done guys uh like I said |

| 9922s | fighter reloaded one the year before |
| 9924s | again |
| 9925s | uh before that was |
| 9929s | feel like pandemically I feel like |
| 9931s | that's a solid guess even though I know |
| 9933s | it's wrong uh and tuskers |
| 9938s | um I'm gonna do this properly um so last |
| 9941s | tournament 17 was uh Hydro reloaded 16 |
| 9944s | was vidra |
| 9945s | 15 was vidra |
| 9947s | 14 was the tusker's call |
| 9951s | um 13. |
| 9952s | [Music] |
| 9954s | would have been |
| 9956s | I want to say pandemic region |
| 9960s | Hydra Reloaded |
| 9962s | provider Reloaded |
| 9964s | vidra Reloaded |
| 9968s | oh and then it gets a little more |
| 9970s | difficult |
| 9973s | um |
| 9974s | it was it was someone someone like you |
| 9976s | wouldn't expect in there it |
| 9981s | tuskers |
| 9983s | pandemic Legion |
| 9985s | last year was Hydra the year before was |
| 9988s | Hydra |
| 9989s | the year before was |
| 9991s | also vydra |
| 9993s | then I believe it was tuskers |
| 9998s | and then before tuskers |
| 10003s | since I was 13 right |
| 10008s | yeah that's that's not the one the the |
| 10011s | specific one where there could be a |
| 10013s | technicality in that one uh |
| 10016s | it wasn't pandemic Legion |
| 10019s | camel Empire that's what I'll say for |
| 10022s | the final one |
| 10023s | Hydra in some Carnation I believe it was |
| 10027s | Hydro reloaded that time |
| 10029s | um |
| 10033s | I want to say my intra |
| 10036s | I mean I I got no no clue |
| 10043s | malice |
| 10049s | cambian cremos |
| 10052s | whiptail |
| 10054s | imp |
| 10056s | cat Cades say I still don't know how to |
| 10058s | say the blade raider one |
| 10060s | um |
| 10061s | Hydra |
| 10063s | virtuoso |
| 10066s | uh uh Raju yes |
| 10078s | welcome back to Alliance tournament 18 I |
| 10080s | am CCP overload once again joined by |
| 10083s | ccpb and black pirate |
| 10085s | how are you I'm doing so fantastic my |
| 10089s | head is finally warm with this fantastic |
| 10090s | even T limited edition merchandise so I |
| 10093s | figured I had to rep it because we seem |
| 10094s | to be losing so many members to CCP very |
| 10097s | strange yeah we uh we apologize for the |
| 10100s | short delay coming back to the stream uh |
| 10102s | Blackberry pirate was indeed struggling |
| 10103s | to dress himself independently and we |
| 10106s | had to get him some assistance ccbb |
| 10108s | how's that today been for you all these |
| 10109s | amazing matches it's been fantastic it's |
| 10111s | been super fun these nail biter matches |
| 10114s | I wasn't sure how uh the the team that |
| 10116s | I'm totally not biased for uh how he was |
| 10119s | gonna pull this through and but they did |
| 10121s | they're in the finals and I'm very |
| 10123s | excited to see how this goes yeah so we |
| 10126s | are actually minutes away uh |
| 10128s | approximately six to be specific from |
| 10130s | the grand finals of Alliance tournament |
| 10132s | uh 18 so we started just over a week ago |
| 10135s | with 32 teams and if we go back to the |
| 10137s | feeders it was like a billion and now we |
| 10139s | are down to just two teams remaining we |
| 10142s | have truth honor light who fought their |
| 10144s | way back up through the lose users |
| 10146s | bracket to reach the grand finals and |
| 10148s | they're going up against Odin's call who |
| 10149s | have yet to drop a match and have come |
| 10151s | through from the feeders going into the |
| 10152s | Redemption Arc there Odin's call beating |
| 10155s | paper numbers nanofiber tokens templates |
| 10157s | calcif the tuskers call and we form |
| 10159s | Volta in the best of three winners |
| 10161s | bracket final uh truth on a light going |
| 10164s | up against ahil na a rival dropping to |
| 10167s | the tuskers co winning against Darkseid |
| 10169s | winning against templar's khalsov |
| 10171s | winning against lock range enjoyers |
| 10172s | winning against the tuskers call and |
| 10174s | then finally winning against we form |
| 10175s | Volta in the best of three so truth on |
| 10177s | the light certainly has to have played |
| 10178s | more matches in the main tournament |
| 10181s | um but Odin's car have played a bunch |
| 10183s | more when you include the um uh the |
| 10186s | feeders so these are two teams that have |
| 10189s | played an incredible amount of matches |
| 10190s | and that doesn't even include the |
| 10191s | experience in some of these teams for |
| 10193s | some of these these players let us take |
| 10195s | a look at the bands for the upcoming |
| 10198s | match |
| 10200s | so truth honor light choosing to ban out |
| 10202s | the Osprey the Ishtar and the stratios |
| 10204s | so a bit of a change of their bands here |
| 10205s | from what we've seen uh recently Odin's |
| 10207s | called batting out the point effects the |
| 10209s | omegas and the Nighthawk Blackboard |
| 10210s | pirate what's your thoughts here you |
| 10212s | know we've seen truth honor light |
| 10213s | continuously ban out these drone setups |
| 10215s | this entire tournament we have not seen |
| 10217s | drone setups do well at all this entire |
| 10219s | tournament so like they have to have |
| 10222s | some logic behind it that says drones |
| 10224s | beat them I think it might be because |
| 10225s | truth honor light's been favoring these |
| 10227s | like insane control setups with ECM so |
| 10230s | much and drones are obviously you can |
| 10232s | jam individual drones out but it is much |
| 10234s | much more difficult to do than just |
| 10236s | jamming a DPS uh ship Odin's called |
| 10238s | Banning the pawnifex Magus makes sense |
| 10240s | they're key ships you have to have them |
| 10242s | for an armor control setup and the |
| 10244s | Nighthawk is just a pretty good band in |
| 10247s | general it prevents uh several different |
| 10248s | things or very good ships kaidi ramming |
| 10251s | in just generally good |
| 10254s | awesome and ccpb |
| 10257s | um you said you've flown a bit uh |
| 10258s | practicing with truth on the light how |
| 10260s | has it been for you being being part of |
| 10262s | that team at this point |
| 10263s | I mean getting to practice Rhythm was uh |
| 10266s | very like I've never taken part in any |
| 10269s | 80 or any competition uh before and then |
| 10271s | going straight into training with a team |
| 10273s | like Hydra was |
| 10274s | intense uh it was eye-opening to see how |
| 10277s | just incredibly talented they are in the |
| 10280s | theory crafting department just 400 |
| 10283s | versions of the same comp with just tiny |
| 10285s | tweaks and just the the conversations |
| 10287s | late into the nights of how to tweak it |
| 10289s | better how to make it better and then |
| 10290s | the practices were just phenomenal there |
| 10292s | was the really fun |
| 10294s | um they were really just effective they |
| 10296s | they were careful with their time as |
| 10298s | well they've worked really hard to get |
| 10300s | where they are they have indeed uh let's |
| 10302s | see if we can take a look at the Pilot's |
| 10304s | history from truth honor light |
| 10306s | um they have a bunch of super |
| 10307s | experienced Pilots uh previously flying |
| 10309s | of course with Hydra reloaded |
| 10312s | um here we see the top Casper 24 uh |
| 10314s | flown in at 66 rounds of Alliance |
| 10317s | tournament combat uh and wins 73 of them |
| 10321s | which is a pretty good rate Nick dolmar |
| 10323s | of course been a captain of some of |
| 10325s | these teams himself |
| 10326s | um an incredibly serious pilot I |
| 10327s | remember he flew to great effect in the |
| 10330s | Caldera Corporation Cup in fact at Fan |
| 10332s | Fest in I believe 2018. Kadesh uh well |
| 10335s | known as the maintainer of pifer and one |
| 10336s | of the best studio Crafters uh in the |
| 10338s | game comes up with some absolutely |
| 10340s | ludicrous compositions Lucas Quan used |
| 10342s | to be in pandemic Legion as their |
| 10344s | Logistics pilot never flies with Hydra |
| 10345s | probably one of the best Logistics |
| 10347s | pilots in the game uh blue melon as well |
| 10349s | very very well known uh former PL and |
| 10351s | has been around for quite some time |
| 10353s | Dexter the captain at the minute I got a |
| 10355s | direct invite by virtue of uh winning |
| 10357s | Alliance tournament last year with Hydra |
| 10359s | Reloaded and then we have a couple more |
| 10361s | pilots sort of rounding out that you |
| 10363s | know we shouldn't just uh gloss over but |
| 10364s | uh warp out from scale yourself back in |
| 10367s | the day and general Hungary I believe he |
| 10368s | used to fly for the tuskers I think at |
| 10371s | one point uh but definitely one of the |
| 10372s | best Logistics pilots in the game so I |
| 10375s | really absolutely stacked roster now |
| 10377s | they're going up against Odin's call |
| 10378s | let's see if we can have a look at their |
| 10380s | roster |
| 10382s | so a bunch of experience not as much in |
| 10385s | terms of just raw numbers but Colonel |
| 10387s | Kurtz of course he used to be uh |
| 10389s | basically the captain of the NC DOT team |
| 10391s | uh Blackberry pirate I believe uh and |
| 10393s | then the Paradigm we see him regularly |
| 10395s | um flying Logistics ships and doing just |
| 10397s | super well we've seen him uh in I |
| 10399s | believe the feeder is pulling off some |
| 10400s | incredible moves Melinda won uh used to |
| 10403s | be the captain of evil this year he was |
| 10405s | with before in Volta |
| 10406s | um and then of course we saw you can do |
| 10408s | some absolutely incredible work this |
| 10409s | year with his Flagship barges so two |
| 10412s | really really fantastic rosters let's do |
| 10414s | some quick predictions so uh black |
| 10416s | pirate what do you think for this first |
| 10418s | match in the best of five you know I'm |
| 10421s | I'm hoping for Odin's call because it |
| 10423s | has been a Cinderella story and I would |
| 10425s | think it would be amazing if they ended |
| 10426s | up in first place for this |
| 10428s | awesome and ccpb I'm gonna remain biased |
| 10432s | and hope they just go 3-0 |
| 10434s | um of course getting nail biters of them |
| 10436s | going back and forth and getting five |
| 10437s | matches would be incredible too but I |
| 10439s | hope they just bring it home awesome so |
| 10442s | just to uh let you guys know what's |
| 10443s | happening there this is the Grand Final |
| 10445s | this is the best of five so at least we |
| 10448s | will see three matches if a team goes |
| 10450s | win-win-win that's the end they win they |
| 10452s | win everything and they go home with uh |
| 10454s | the maximum number of prize ships of |
| 10456s | course uh the rolling uh bands are still |
| 10458s | in effect so whoever wins this first |
| 10460s | match uh those those ships will all be |
| 10462s | banned and it is just one ruling at the |
| 10465s | time |
| 10467s | um Blackberry pirate do you think that's |
| 10468s | gonna have a big effect going from best |
| 10469s | of three to best of five |
| 10470s | uh I I think it could it does um just |
| 10474s | because of the way we're doing bands |
| 10475s | this year I think that it's maybe not |
| 10477s | quite as effective as it has been in the |
| 10479s | past I brought up earlier there's the |
| 10480s | one year that we had 30 bands at the end |
| 10482s | of it and it's just like |
| 10483s | kind of ridiculous but uh I think that |
| 10487s | this is what really shows you if teams |
| 10488s | have like thought and planned for this |
| 10491s | day because at the end of the day best |
| 10493s | of three |
| 10494s | kind of tough but Vesta 5 is insane like |
| 10496s | you get to see so much of all the |
| 10498s | different stuff so uh we'll see I think |
| 10501s | uh like I said it's gonna prove who's |
| 10502s | actually prepared |
| 10503s | yeah and both of these teams do have |
| 10505s | flagships remaining as well so they are |
| 10508s | both still Flagship enjoyers they can |
| 10509s | choose to field them they are both bar |
| 10511s | guests and I we don't really know how |
| 10513s | expensive the odins call uh bargast is |
| 10516s | at this point I do believe that um |
| 10518s | jintan had said that uh the uh truth on |
| 10521s | a light one was fit with full smiles and |
| 10523s | it's it's top rack about 120 |
| 10525s | billionaires in just launchers alone uh |
| 10528s | which is uh incredible incredible energy |
| 10531s | um but we're ready to go to the arena |
| 10533s | for this first match in the Grand Final |
| 10535s | of Alliance tournament 18 between truth |
| 10537s | honor light and Odin's call |
| 10543s | Hello everybody welcome back to the |
| 10545s | arena I am the Basilisk joined by fear |
| 10547s | Viner for this match well these five |
| 10549s | matches to finish off the tournament |
| 10551s | from 32 teams down to just these two |
| 10554s | truth on a light on the red side Odin's |
| 10557s | call on the blue site true dot truth on |
| 10558s | a light obviously absolute perennial |
| 10560s | tournament Heavy Hitters and Odin's cool |
| 10562s | fear |
| 10564s | well they've been making progress over |
| 10566s | and over and over over the last few |
| 10569s | years creeping up in the ranks and this |
| 10571s | year they made it to the Grand Finance |
| 10572s | for the first time they are on the blue |
| 10574s | side and they have brought their four |
| 10576s | Battleship Cruz pseudo Tinker comp that |
| 10579s | won them against uh I believe it was |
| 10582s | tuskers uh in a match yesterday so I'm |
| 10586s | excited to see how that fares up against |
| 10588s | truth honor light |
| 10589s | yeah truth I like bringing this slightly |
| 10591s | strange comp that I think we saw a |
| 10592s | variant of yesterday yes this time |
| 10594s | they've brought a drowger in it which I |
| 10595s | think is a ship we haven't actually seen |
| 10596s | at all up to this point in the |
| 10598s | tournament 10 points for that command |
| 10599s | Destroyer but obviously with the Magus |
| 10601s | and the pontifex band if they wanted to |
| 10603s | bring an armor command Destroyer that |
| 10604s | was sort of the only option left here |
| 10605s | for truth on right so they've opted to |
| 10607s | Splash out those points it may have sort |
| 10609s | of hampered their support Wing a little |
| 10610s | bit as they've only got the celestis and |
| 10611s | Sentinel as sort of dedicated e-war |
| 10613s | ships but Link's going out the match is |
| 10614s | underway let's see how this goes |
| 10616s | well they also brought two blackbirds as |
| 10618s | well and we've seen the power of ECM in |
| 10621s | the last couple of days this weekend |
| 10623s | we've seen uh ECM being used to some |
| 10625s | great advantage and especially in that |
| 10627s | lower bracket finals where we saw the |
| 10628s | double Rook setup work out very well now |
| 10631s | for the side of Odin's call they're |
| 10634s | going to start on these blackbirds first |
| 10635s | now these are armor blackbirds so they |
| 10637s | won't have a lot of ehp but they also |
| 10640s | have a fairly small Sig radius which is |
| 10642s | good against these Cruise setups |
| 10644s | yeah and as we saw in Odin's coming up |
| 10646s | against tuskers I think this is the same |
| 10648s | sort of comp for them where they've just |
| 10649s | splashed out onto these four Cruise |
| 10650s | battleships they're just going to Tinker |
| 10651s | up and try and |
| 10653s | um you know Whittle through the cruise |
| 10654s | missiles and I feel like |
| 10656s | oh my goodness the burst just gets |
| 10657s | absolutely annihilated there for Odin's |
| 10659s | call |
| 10660s | was it battery violation it was a |
| 10662s | boundary violation oh my goodness that |
| 10664s | is not a good way to start the grand |
| 10665s | finals Jesus |
| 10668s | and this is where we got to talk about |
| 10669s | nerves Hydra they were here last year |
| 10672s | they won 80 last year odins this is |
| 10675s | their first time making it all the way |
| 10677s | to the finals of at and they gotta think |
| 10679s | or we have to think they have to be |
| 10681s | nervous here it's not just another day |
| 10683s | in the week it is the furthest they've |
| 10685s | ever gone in a tournament and they want |
| 10686s | to show that they are here to stay as uh |
| 10690s | Hydra once again just another day in the |
| 10693s | office and they've gotten the first |
| 10694s | blood in this match yeah and as I was |
| 10696s | going to say before erdvoy daughter did |
| 10698s | that a little bit of trolling there by |
| 10699s | flying out of the Arena I feel like |
| 10700s | these Tinker comps suffer when they come |
| 10702s | up against overwhelming amounts of DPS |
| 10703s | like we saw in the tuskers match which |
| 10705s | they actually still managed to pull out |
| 10706s | the win but only ever so slightly |
| 10709s | um you know the Tinker quickly falls |
| 10710s | apart when they lose these battleships |
| 10711s | to overwhelming DPS but Hydra throughout |
| 10713s | the day have not been bringing |
| 10715s | overwhelming DPS for the most popular |
| 10716s | they seem to have been favoring this |
| 10717s | control Focus setups and they've done so |
| 10719s | again here it's only really going to be |
| 10721s | the bargest the drones from the EOS and |
| 10723s | the drawer ramping up in terms of damage |
| 10725s | here I don't know if that's going to be |
| 10726s | enough to break the Tinker tank so they |
| 10727s | may have to just go through the support |
| 10729s | Wing I don't know how long this match is |
| 10730s | going to stall out for |
| 10732s | probably a relatively long amount of |
| 10734s | time this is not a flag bar guest as has |
| 10737s | been said in local this is just a |
| 10739s | regular burger so only gonna get the |
| 10741s | regular amount of DPS you will get from |
| 10744s | those rapid heavy missiles you do have |
| 10745s | some damage from this EOS as well but as |
| 10747s | you mentioned huge amounts of utility |
| 10749s | not a lot of DPS and the drauger a ship |
| 10751s | that defines the meta for the anger |
| 10753s | games being picked up here for the side |
| 10756s | of Truth honor light has a lot of DPS |
| 10759s | but importantly its links are bonus to |
| 10762s | Skirmish and info the only ship in the |
| 10765s | game that has that particular bonus |
| 10767s | towards its links it doesn't have bonus |
| 10769s | armor links which means even though they |
| 10770s | brought them it's not going to be as |
| 10772s | good as if they had a pawn effects or |
| 10773s | Magus getting those links but it's still |
| 10776s | a pretty interesting choice if they |
| 10777s | can't because they don't really need the |
| 10778s | armor links with already having the EOS |
| 10779s | and the Skirmish links are super |
| 10781s | valuable you can get the scram range on |
| 10782s | the Bogus the info Link's obviously |
| 10784s | super valuable for all your evil wings |
| 10785s | so it's actually a really strong pickup |
| 10787s | for the rest of their comp here but we |
| 10788s | now see drones going onto the vigil of |
| 10789s | Hoda daenery they want to try and take |
| 10791s | some of this application off the field |
| 10792s | provide by those Target painters |
| 10794s | yeah bonus painter is really important |
| 10796s | to have on a cruise missile comp and the |
| 10798s | vigil is just the one chip that hasn't |
| 10799s | remembered vigil fleet has a web bonus |
| 10801s | not a paint bonus Hodor now in to armor |
| 10804s | now under structure he is soon to be |
| 10805s | taken off the field and he is off the |
| 10807s | field now and early leads for truth |
| 10810s | honor light they can just continue to |
| 10811s | grind this match down because Odin's |
| 10814s | call cannot apply to anyone on the side |
| 10816s | of Truth on our light other than this |
| 10817s | bar guest who they are now going for |
| 10819s | yeah and that's got a real feel really |
| 10821s | really terrible for void daughter here |
| 10823s | as soon as he lands in the Grand Final |
| 10824s | within a minute boundaries and Casper |
| 10826s | still showing his uh sense of humor in |
| 10828s | this situation typing in local quickly |
| 10830s | afterwards hey that's my job |
| 10834s | Turtle carts in the Golem hasn't really |
| 10835s | gotten any rep Cycles off yet he's gonna |
| 10837s | probably try to keep the Reps around |
| 10839s | that natural 33 regen point there we go |
| 10841s | getting some reps in they've got damage |
| 10843s | now on a Dexter shio in this bar guest |
| 10845s | but he's still got his laundry frigates |
| 10847s | up on sorry not logic fragrance his own |
| 10849s | Nero's up on top of him and these cruise |
| 10851s | missiles even though they're gonna apply |
| 10852s | perfectly to the bar guest don't do that |
| 10854s | much overall DPS so while this guy has |
| 10856s | Ansel charges in his AAR it's going to |
| 10859s | be tough to break through them |
| 10860s | yeah I mean it's going to be a slow |
| 10862s | match it's going to be very difficult |
| 10863s | for them to hold anything on the Odin |
| 10865s | side now that both of their lodgy |
| 10867s | frigates are down but I don't think even |
| 10869s | with these four Cruise battleships we |
| 10871s | know that bar guest on truth on light is |
| 10872s | going to be absolutely pinned to the max |
| 10874s | um I just I don't think there's going to |
| 10877s | be enough DPS from these four |
| 10878s | battleships to break through the local |
| 10879s | rapper on the Vargas and the onero |
| 10881s | strips I feel like it might be a better |
| 10882s | option for them to actually put those |
| 10883s | cruise missiles onto the nearest it may |
| 10885s | take some time to get through him but we |
| 10886s | know this is going to be a slow drawn |
| 10888s | out affair they may actually be able to |
| 10890s | whittle through that aniros over the |
| 10891s | course of the map match but they are |
| 10893s | whittling through this visual Fleet |
| 10894s | issue right now remember no paint bonus |
| 10896s | just a web bonus but web's still |
| 10898s | important when you have a cruise missile |
| 10899s | set up like this and he's now in the |
| 10901s | structure soon to fall making a dive |
| 10903s | towards the back side maybe gonna try to |
| 10904s | get some sort of tackle no drive by webs |
| 10907s | for him though he gets taken down and |
| 10909s | Truth honor light in a dominant position |
| 10910s | in this match so far |
| 10913s | yeah at this point I feel like it's |
| 10914s | looking pretty dire for Odin's cool just |
| 10916s | losing those lodgy frigates completely |
| 10917s | negates any ability to keep up the |
| 10918s | support when obviously the battleships |
| 10920s | can sort of sustain themselves with |
| 10921s | Tinker but um you know the vigil the |
| 10923s | fleet vigil all this sort of stuff needs |
| 10925s | those logic freaks to serve that purpose |
| 10926s | and keep them alive and without them |
| 10928s | obviously they're just going to slowly |
| 10929s | get whittled away here by the missiles |
| 10930s | from the Bargas so I'm at this point |
| 10932s | even though it's only seven to zero and |
| 10934s | there's always you know as we saw in |
| 10935s | these high stakes situations there's |
| 10937s | always the opportunity for a boundary |
| 10938s | there's always a potential that Casper |
| 10939s | 24 could just eat himself out of the |
| 10941s | Arena but at this point I'm feel pretty |
| 10943s | confident in calling this first match |
| 10944s | for truth on a light |
| 10946s | yeah this stork going down soon as well |
| 10948s | the active Shield links very important |
| 10950s | to have for this Golem for Colonel Kurtz |
| 10952s | and just in general for the pseudo |
| 10954s | tanker setup he is now bleeding armor |
| 10956s | but he's got some Shield regen coming |
| 10958s | back up and he's got the uh remote cap |
| 10960s | transfers to make sure his AR still runs |
| 10962s | they are onto kadash presets now but |
| 10964s | once again I mean he's got Skirmish |
| 10966s | links on him he's going to be a very |
| 10968s | tiny signature radius already |
| 10969s | considering he's a demand uh command |
| 10971s | destroyer and you only have cruises |
| 10973s | which are not applying especially |
| 10975s | without any paints on the field |
| 10977s | yes and also they've got these jams |
| 10979s | which we haven't really considered so |
| 10980s | too much so far but these jams obviously |
| 10982s | going to be spread across the Ravens uh |
| 10985s | the Navy scorpion Etc just spread across |
| 10986s | the whole comp really at this point and |
| 10988s | I had a look actually at some of those |
| 10989s | Odin Shield Battleship fits from earlier |
| 10991s | and they had no sort of sensor boosters |
| 10993s | no real |
| 10994s | um you know e-war mitigation I remember |
| 10996s | they were just full tank I don't think |
| 10997s | they had a prop I think it was just a |
| 10998s | bunch of Shield extenders a bunch of |
| 11000s | hardeners and an xlasb so potentially |
| 11003s | very vulnerable to the ewall coming out |
| 11005s | here |
| 11006s | yeah Colonel carts continues to tank up |
| 11008s | he wrapped all the way back up the fall |
| 11009s | and I was gonna uh bait tank a little |
| 11011s | bit more with his ancillary Shield |
| 11013s | booster but still no damage applied for |
| 11017s | the sodium was call Squad and this |
| 11018s | pseudotinker setup something we saw in |
| 11020s | the grand finals and worked for Hydra |
| 11022s | last year but you're taking someone |
| 11026s | else's comp and facing it right back |
| 11028s | towards their face and those Cruise |
| 11029s | setups once again they have issues |
| 11032s | applying to these small signature radius |
| 11033s | armor ships that are Cruiser sizing |
| 11036s | below and we're seeing that right now |
| 11037s | where Odin's call can't turn truth on |
| 11040s | our lights old comp against them Odin's |
| 11043s | call Four battleships I have noticed are |
| 11044s | actually just Gathering up on the micro |
| 11046s | jump beacon in the middle of the Arena |
| 11047s | here and I'll be honest with you I have |
| 11049s | no idea what they're planning to do with |
| 11050s | that their Cruise battleships it doesn't |
| 11052s | really matter where they are |
| 11054s | um so I I don't know what their what |
| 11055s | their plan is here it could be something |
| 11057s | totally wacky but I don't know if |
| 11059s | they're even gonna activate or if they |
| 11060s | just want to be in the middle and ensure |
| 11061s | they can hit everything but I guess |
| 11062s | we'll find out in the next minute or so |
| 11063s | as these battleships slowly make their |
| 11064s | way forward as I said no prop mods so |
| 11066s | it's a very casual affair for the Golem |
| 11068s | and the Raven here at the back and the |
| 11070s | guidance disrupter from this Sentinel as |
| 11072s | well does anything need to be Ranger |
| 11074s | started to remember these are cruise |
| 11075s | ships uh it's probably more effective to |
| 11077s | actually get the application disruption |
| 11080s | up on him as the stork finally goes down |
| 11082s | it's going to be a clean victory for |
| 11083s | True Thunder lights but it's not going |
| 11085s | to be 100 points to zero it's going to |
| 11087s | be once this goes down probably 15 |
| 11089s | points to zero very low score match but |
| 11092s | they really just can't break this Golem |
| 11093s | right now they are now finally on a |
| 11095s | Dexter Geo he is finally breaking a |
| 11097s | little bit but he has the nearest reps |
| 11099s | and an AAR to keep him topped up we'll |
| 11101s | see if they can actually take him down |
| 11102s | but there's some split damage on Kadesh |
| 11104s | priestess as well |
| 11105s | yeah when they lose this stalk their |
| 11107s | stock does go down it's 15 points I do |
| 11109s | wonder if they would be able to kill |
| 11111s | something if they maybe had been killing |
| 11113s | the owneros from the start of the match |
| 11115s | if they just said okay we're gonna you |
| 11116s | know both these comps they're going to |
| 11118s | have difficulty killing our Battleship |
| 11119s | Wing can we just Whittle down the |
| 11121s | scenarios of the course and that's the |
| 11122s | problem is of course truth on the light |
| 11124s | is going to have a swarm of red bots in |
| 11125s | every single ship in that comp so I |
| 11127s | don't really know still what they can |
| 11129s | kill they are still trying on the Bargas |
| 11130s | but Dexter's holding no problem |
| 11132s | um and at this point the drowger |
| 11133s | wouldn't be enough points to win the |
| 11134s | match anyway |
| 11136s | um so it would have to be the aniros the |
| 11138s | EOS and the bogus and I really feel that |
| 11140s | they did they haven't really tried the |
| 11142s | one thing that could potentially have |
| 11144s | have turned this fight which is just |
| 11145s | whittling down the ineros again I don't |
| 11147s | know if the Redbox would have been |
| 11148s | enough to hold but they could at least |
| 11150s | have tried it now kernel cards finally |
| 11152s | and a low armor he's run out of cap |
| 11154s | pretty much he's run out of Ansel and he |
| 11157s | will end up falling here nope actually |
| 11159s | he's got the rep back up so he will |
| 11161s | survive ever so slightly with a little |
| 11163s | bit of armor and a little bit of |
| 11165s | structure still only 45 seconds left in |
| 11167s | the match the match is pretty much over |
| 11169s | here I don't think they're gonna kill |
| 11170s | anything |
| 11171s | maybe this black bird but he's got a |
| 11173s | Nero straps and once again his sake is |
| 11175s | absolutely tiny compared to the |
| 11176s | explosion radius of these cruise |
| 11178s | missiles yeah so that's going forward |
| 11180s | with just 30 seconds left in the match |
| 11181s | that's consider the bands here because |
| 11182s | truth on the light taking this first |
| 11184s | match their whole comp is going to be |
| 11185s | Conquest band they cannot bring |
| 11187s | blackbirds anymore they cannot bring the |
| 11188s | drowger anymore so if Odin's decides to |
| 11190s | bring to ban pontifex Magus again then |
| 11192s | trixon light will be [ __ ] out of luck |
| 11194s | for for um command Destroyer choices |
| 11196s | they they can still bring the flag bar |
| 11198s | against |
| 11199s | um but there's a lot of e-warships and |
| 11201s | there's truth on the light side that |
| 11201s | they may want to bring again Celeste |
| 11203s | descends and all this other stuff and |
| 11204s | they won't be able to so I mean we'll |
| 11205s | just have to have to see how this goes |
| 11207s | throughout the series but this is going |
| 11208s | to be the first game going to truth on |
| 11210s | the light |
| 11211s | and with that we're going to send it |
| 11213s | back to the desk to break that down 15-0 |
| 11215s | I think the lowest scoring match of this |
| 11217s | at |
| 11218s | but when we return more truth on our |
| 11221s | light and more in this call |
| 11226s | [Music] |
| 11247s | [Music] |
| 11253s | thank you |
| 11263s | [Applause] |
| 11267s | [Music] |
| 11270s | [Applause] |
| 11272s | [Music] |
| 11273s | [Applause] |
| 11278s | connected Channel switched well it would |
| 11281s | have been a fun easy fight right but |
| 11283s | guess what dude I'm not if seeing it |
| 11284s | people can't get together |
| 11291s | enemies your temps are completely damned |
| 11293s | out Crush I'm dumped out I'm dumped out |
| 11296s | you don't like cheers |
| 11305s | I'm jammed |
| 11307s | truth on our light go up 1-0 in this |
| 11310s | best of five grand Final in what critics |
| 11312s | are calling a match now Blackberry |
| 11314s | pirate we saw at the start of that match |
| 11316s | uh what looked to be a bit of an error |
| 11318s | by one of the players on the Odin's call |
| 11319s | team what happened there yeah we did uh |
| 11322s | the vigil of ERD void daughter decided |
| 11325s | to instead of staying in the arena to |
| 11329s | leave the arena which gets you |
| 11330s | explodified |
| 11332s | um we're kind of talking about it when |
| 11333s | it first happened there's a moment of |
| 11335s | like oh they might have just lost the |
| 11337s | match just because Owen's call was not |
| 11339s | able to apply any damage and then you |
| 11340s | lost a vigil which is more damage |
| 11342s | application uh and I was actually |
| 11343s | sitting there like Hydra could |
| 11345s | potentially sorry tree thunder light |
| 11347s | pretty slip |
| 11349s | um could potentially just do nothing for |
| 11352s | the next 10 minutes or nine-ish minutes |
| 11354s | and the match ends with one point to |
| 11357s | zero which would uh have been I think as |
| 11360s | you said uh Hydra and boring matches |
| 11363s | name a better combination yeah I did say |
| 11365s | that yeah so when you get to the finals |
| 11367s | I mean to be fair if you are wanting to |
| 11370s | win you don't care about how exciting it |
| 11372s | is for everybody else like as far as |
| 11374s | you're concerned one zero Victory is |
| 11376s | just as good a victory as 100 to zero |
| 11378s | the only difference would be if you |
| 11380s | managed to take down someone's Flagship |
| 11381s | uh that would of course change the game |
| 11383s | a little bit but they didn't and they |
| 11385s | haven't as of yet so |
| 11387s | um we also saw uh CCP what looked like a |
| 11391s | bit of a sort of core Tinker comp coming |
| 11392s | from The Woodlands call there they were |
| 11393s | titled up we've been discussing that |
| 11395s | right at the start uh when we saw the |
| 11396s | four battleships I was like oh that's |
| 11398s | going to be rough and we were discussing |
| 11400s | that if this is a flag Vargas there's no |
| 11401s | way you can Ram a flag bargained into |
| 11403s | four different battleships and we |
| 11405s | learned there wasn't one but then they |
| 11406s | started pulling back and then as you |
| 11408s | discussed that maybe they'll just sit |
| 11410s | back delete one thing at the last minute |
| 11411s | we saw the uh the boundary violation and |
| 11414s | we just kind of stood here |
| 11416s | well we uh just quick shout out to Annie |
| 11419s | gardett and Volta uh last year in the |
| 11420s | grand finals he did exactly that he |
| 11422s | rammed the flag Vargas into a tinker |
| 11424s | comp uh to pull them apart and they |
| 11426s | almost managed to pull off a w in that |
| 11428s | match but in this case it wasn't to be |
| 11430s | and uh of course this is the best of |
| 11431s | five so Odin's called now in the back |
| 11433s | foot and we'll see if they can come and |
| 11435s | take it to uh the you know third or |
| 11437s | fourth fifth match now uh we're |
| 11439s | obviously here in Nottingham at the |
| 11440s | event Studios and there's a whole bunch |
| 11442s | of people who think that's possible one |
| 11443s | of the most important is our production |
| 11446s | director of event uh Mr bayart J now we |
| 11448s | wanted him to come on the desk and chat |
| 11450s | with us but uh he's very shy he doesn't |
| 11452s | want to so I actually had some of our |
| 11454s | production techs help me to rig up a |
| 11455s | camera |
| 11456s | which I have got here now this camera |
| 11459s | should be on so you should be able to |
| 11460s | see me |
| 11461s | there we are and I can actually go |
| 11463s | wandering around the studio you guys can |
| 11466s | see what I see so I don't have any |
| 11467s | speakers so black pirate will be |
| 11469s | narrating so let me take my headset off |
| 11471s | hey I will say I'm glad we chose to wear |
| 11473s | pants today after that one but uh yes I |
| 11477s | I did also warn him that I will be doing |
| 11478s | the narrating in any way I choose so uh |
| 11481s | he's going to begin and hopefully not |
| 11483s | trip with that very expensive camera in |
| 11485s | all these cables this is what our room |
| 11486s | looks like we have the giant video |
| 11488s | screen we got the video screen |
| 11489s | controller there I've been trying to get |
| 11491s | them to post things the entire time and |
| 11492s | they have not apparently for legal |
| 11494s | reasons uh this is a fantastic person |
| 11497s | who's been taking pictures of all of |
| 11499s | this for us so all those really nice |
| 11500s | high definition pictures going up on |
| 11502s | Twitter we have students producing |
| 11504s | things he's waving he's like they're |
| 11506s | like oh God that is Mr Bay art J right |
| 11509s | there yes he is not happy about it yes |
| 11513s | we uh we kind of tricked him on this uh |
| 11516s | we were trying to be like oh yeah it'd |
| 11517s | be fun to show the show the camera |
| 11518s | around uh our amazing amazing sound |
| 11521s | director who's been making us all sound |
| 11522s | relatively competent or at least not too |
| 11525s | obnoxious I hope uh we got Nash cadaver |
| 11528s | matching hats with me we have disc |
| 11530s | reader we have CC zealous watching us |
| 11533s | giving us metal signs it's quite amazing |
| 11535s | we're going to actually see how far we |
| 11538s | can get this uh this chord because we |
| 11541s | have so much more in the back area but |
| 11543s | look at all those monitors and expensive |
| 11545s | stuff oh yes trying to help us not trip |
| 11548s | on anything hopefully we can pull that |
| 11549s | off |
| 11551s | oh yes chords |
| 11554s | yes ah yes biohazard he's been doing |
| 11557s | most of the amazing camera work that |
| 11558s | we've been seeing hopefully I don't uh |
| 11560s | give anyone's job wrong and then |
| 11562s | someone's like oh you insulted me you |
| 11564s | made it horrible |
| 11565s | um |
| 11567s | yep replay tools all that good stuff a |
| 11571s | really nice production this year |

| 11619s | were told it would take an hour it took |
| 11620s | us an hour to get ready I'm sure all you |
| 11622s | players understand what that's like |
| 11624s | and uh yep |
| 11626s | disc in his fantastic uh he's actually |
| 11629s | gonna be the next James Bond by the way |
| 11630s | Jason was wondering why he's wearing |
| 11632s | that |
| 11634s | and I believe he's coming back this way |
| 11636s | so I need to really quickly give myself |
| 11638s | all of the isk on the CCP never mind I'm |
| 11641s | gonna go back over here |
| 11649s | that's a good shot that is a great shot |
| 11652s | there we go and that is behind the |
| 11654s | scenes of Alliance tournament 18. uh |
| 11657s | hope you hope you'll enjoyed I hope it |
| 11658s | was useful |
| 11660s | um I tried to go all the way to the |
| 11661s | Basilisk yeah and I ran out of cable |
| 11663s | that I just heard a bunch of people |
| 11665s | sharing stop stop just run out and |
| 11668s | luckily he was able to pop out and say |
| 11669s | hello and of course we we couldn't even |
| 11671s | get close to the uh the room the |
| 11672s | referees are all setting up in uh we saw |
| 11674s | Amy Muffler stick his head out the door |
| 11676s | excuse me Swift is hiding up there as |
| 11677s | well um and then all the cast and crew |
| 11679s | aren't currently you know here are in |
| 11682s | there uh probably playing Eve which is |
| 11684s | probably playing you which is kind of |
| 11685s | fun hopefully that opened the eyes to |
| 11686s | some of the people watching the the |
| 11688s | production quality that we've had this |
| 11689s | year it's been incredibly fun yeah it |
| 11692s | has been so good there's been so many |
| 11693s | people that made this possible obviously |
| 11695s | you just saw a whole bunch of them |
| 11696s | um but what you don't really see is all |
| 11698s | the work behind the scenes to make even |
| 11699s | the little things happen and look good |
| 11701s | like the little stuff at the bottom of |
| 11703s | the screen right here oh thanks guys |
| 11705s | um is is a couple of people sort of |
| 11708s | making sure all the data in spreadsheets |
| 11710s | is up to date making sure it's all all |
| 11712s | correct is what's important and then |
| 11714s | putting it into the tools biohazard of |
| 11716s | course doing a the mixing of the the |
| 11717s | different naive scenes we have the |
| 11719s | vision mixer as you saw doing the actual |
| 11721s | camera cutting um I just and the instant |
| 11723s | replay like things are exploding we're |
| 11725s | seeing the casters talk about them |
| 11727s | exploding and then boom it goes to |
| 11728s | replay reel and it's it's incredible |
| 11730s | yeah it's been super good yeah uh so |
| 11733s | yeah I mean we hope here that you guys |
| 11735s | have uh have enjoyed uh this production |
| 11737s | uh I honestly don't have to say thank |
| 11739s | you to all the people who make it |
| 11740s | possible |
| 11741s | um but yeah you know so if you can uh |
| 11743s | give good good words and chat to the |
| 11745s | production crew I'm sure they don't |
| 11746s | appreciate it now we have more matches |
| 11749s | now coming up for this best of five |
| 11751s | grand final between truth honor light |
| 11753s | and Odin's call so let's take a look at |
| 11755s | the band for match two |
| 11758s | okay so truth on a light Banning out the |
| 11760s | Osprey the stormbringer the curse and |
| 11763s | Odin's call bang out the Nighthawk the |
| 11764s | guardian and the stormbringer the twin |
| 11767s | stormbringer bands of course give us the |
| 11768s | nearest and the slat near as trickle |
| 11770s | bands black pirate what do you see here |
| 11772s | other than me |
| 11774s | might no longer see you which is sad but |
| 11776s | I can just turn and look at you but uh |
| 11778s | yes the storm Runner ban is actually |
| 11780s | very very smart on so both sides here um |
| 11783s | we've seen it a couple more times uh |
| 11785s | when truth honor light does a |
| 11786s | Stormbreaker ban they seem to really |
| 11788s | like to bring these like control based |
| 11791s | setups with rip drones and I think we |
| 11792s | actually saw it versus Volta where |
| 11794s | there's a guardian that just would not |
| 11796s | die |
| 11797s | period and that was all repton's uh the |
| 11800s | commentators got it solid Odin's call |
| 11802s | Banning it makes me think that they're |
| 11803s | going to do something similar and we |
| 11804s | have seen Owens call doing uh focusing |
| 11807s | very hard on these like powerful Le |
| 11809s | Shack core uh curse setups especially |
| 11811s | earlier on in the tournament so they |
| 11813s | might be signaling that they're planning |
| 11814s | that |
| 11815s | um you know other than that oniros and |
| 11817s | guardian band at the same time I don't |
| 11819s | think either team necessarily was |
| 11820s | prepared for that but uh it is what it |
| 11824s | is now so we'll probably be seeing some |
| 11825s | Logistics frigates and uh yeah the |
| 11828s | Osprey is something truth on her life's |
| 11829s | been Banning every single time I don't |
| 11831s | know why |
| 11832s | they just like to ban it I'm sure I'm |
| 11834s | sure someone could tell us if they if |
| 11835s | they chose |
| 11839s | all right then uh instead why don't you |
| 11841s | tell us about the uh the stormbringer so |
| 11843s | we see it being banned quite regularly |
| 11845s | um what tell us about the weapon systems |
| 11847s | of these Eden column ships and why it |
| 11848s | might be so popular to ban it's a very |
| 11850s | different weapon system to traditional |
| 11852s | guns this is a weapon system that |
| 11856s | um it's spirals or it shoots and then |
| 11858s | shoots 10 other targets next to the |
| 11860s | thing that you're shooting so it becomes |
| 11862s | incredibly efficient at killing drones |
| 11865s | if you're shooting a uh a ship that has |
| 11867s | a bunch of drones around it like rep |
| 11869s | drones it'll automatically start kind of |
| 11871s | killing those off almost as if you had a |
| 11873s | smart bum on top of it so it's kind of |
| 11874s | like a projected smart bomb shooting all |
| 11877s | the targets around it so it becomes |
| 11879s | really quick and good at deleting these |
| 11881s | drone comps and the the battleship for |
| 11883s | that the the Thunder shells why don't we |
| 11884s | see that bit more often than tournament |
| 11886s | comms blackback pirate uh it's not |
| 11889s | really necessary so it um the |
| 11891s | stormbringer does enough damage to |
| 11893s | pretty much wipe out any rep drones that |
| 11894s | you need uh even the heavy ones go down |
| 11896s | pretty fast to it I think it's about two |
| 11898s | to three volleys depending on you know |
| 11900s | wrecking shots Etc uh so they the storm |
| 11903s | Runner shoots really fast like it the |
| 11906s | cycle time on those weapons is quite |
| 11907s | short uh you don't really need the |
| 11909s | battleship version for it it would |
| 11910s | actually be Overkill and also the |
| 11912s | battleship gun has like really really |
| 11915s | high signature radius required to apply |
| 11917s | so it actually isn't good at killing the |
| 11920s | tiny little drones on it so with that |
| 11922s | and the fact that it's a ton of points |
| 11924s | and it's not really that good at |
| 11925s | actually killing a single ship we don't |
| 11927s | really see it that much awesome and this |
| 11930s | is of course the second match in our |
| 11931s | best of five grand final so there are |
| 11933s | Conquest bands now in place from after |
| 11935s | the the first match so uh truth on the |
| 11938s | lights cannot feel the Confessor |
| 11940s | celestis the vexer the bar guest the |
| 11943s | oniros the drogger the EOS The Sentinel |
| 11945s | and the black bird so they can bring |
| 11947s | their Flagship bar guests as a band |
| 11949s | Dodge is still alive |
| 11952s | um they cannot bring any of these ships |
| 11953s | Blackberry pirate what do you think we |
| 11955s | might see here from from truth on the |
| 11956s | light you know I I hate to say it |
| 11958s | because it's like really talking up |
| 11960s | truth honor light too much and it's not |
| 11961s | like they need that much people have |
| 11963s | been talking about how awesome they are |
| 11964s | for years but this doesn't really affect |
| 11967s | them that much something that I was kind |
| 11969s | of was memeing about it in the uh the |
| 11971s | room you guys didn't get to see over |
| 11972s | there and I was like every single ship |
| 11975s | is the same it doesn't matter like which |
| 11978s | Hall gets banned they're all |
| 11979s | interchangeable and we're specifically |
| 11981s | talking about sipples and Scythe Fleet |
| 11982s | issues where they're actually the same |
| 11984s | ship just one as two more points in this |
| 11987s | case it's like okay well |
| 11989s | so we've banned out a celestis but we |
| 11991s | still have malices and Carries you know |
| 11993s | we banned out the guardian uh |
| 11997s | Odin's band The Guardian the nearest is |
| 11999s | banned for truth on her light |
| 12001s | but they still have augers which isn't |
| 12003s | the same but it kind of is you just get |
| 12005s | more points to play with so uh not to |
| 12007s | talk them up too much I don't think it |
| 12008s | actually affects them that much and they |
| 12010s | could still literally bring what they |
| 12011s | just brought and just slot a couple |
| 12012s | ships around |
| 12013s | CCB over the years um we've seen the |
| 12016s | format the alliance tournament change |
| 12017s | from uh back in the last tournament one |
| 12019s | it was five ships one of each size |
| 12021s | frigate Destroyer Cruiser battle cruiser |
| 12023s | Battleship and I believe CCP zealous |
| 12026s | informed me that the grand prize was |
| 12027s | socks at the time which is pretty cool |
| 12030s | Eve socks that was the prize that sucks |
| 12032s | dude yep oh boy |
| 12035s | um and then uh the was LP Governor's |
| 12038s | prizes for many years and we had a |
| 12040s | couple of things like uh you know some |
| 12041s | crazy battleships and stuff and then the |
| 12043s | actual price ships themself came out in |
| 12044s | the last tournament seven at that point |
| 12046s | we had things like uh the twin bands it |
| 12048s | was a b b a and then in the last couple |
| 12050s | of years we've started to expand the |
| 12051s | Banning system simply because the number |
| 12053s | of ships uh now available to these teams |
| 12056s | that weren't available back into |
| 12057s | alliance tournament you know five they |
| 12059s | didn't have loads and loads of these new |
| 12061s | ships what do you think about |
| 12063s | um the the current system of banning |
| 12066s | well I'm kind of new to the whole |
| 12067s | Alliance tournament team as I've said a |
| 12069s | few times I think the system that we |
| 12071s | currently have is pretty smart given the |
| 12073s | type of |
| 12074s | you know the amount of ships we have |
| 12076s | Bart does make a point that you can |
| 12077s | interchange some of these but it does |
| 12079s | change the dynamic if you suddenly have |
| 12081s | your black Birch banned out and you want |
| 12083s | to take a Rooks instead that's a lot |
| 12085s | more extra points which then have to |
| 12087s | give back on something else instead I |
| 12089s | think the way it's set up with these |
| 12091s | cascading bands as well makes it very |
| 12092s | interesting for these uh these final |
| 12094s | matches I think I think it's a pretty |
| 12096s | cool format as it is awesome now these |
| 12099s | teams of course will be uh looking to |
| 12101s | show their Alliance Pride uh truth on a |
| 12103s | light would love to slap their logo on |
| 12104s | their ships and fly around in space and |
| 12105s | they can now do that let's go to a quick |
| 12107s | video from CCP racks about heraldry |
| 12111s | thank you |
| 12115s | players identity in new Eden is |
| 12118s | important to them what they want to do |
| 12119s | is they want to showcase off who they |
| 12121s | belong to a corporation or Alliance and |
| 12124s | being able to kind of go proudly into a |
| 12126s | fight with other players the first thing |
| 12128s | that we are releasing are emblems |
| 12131s | emblems allow them to put their |
| 12134s | corporation on allowance logos on shape |
| 12136s | and kind of fly-inflate information into |
| 12138s | these battles |
| 12139s | down the line kind of what we are hoping |
| 12141s | to achieve with heraldry is that we want |
| 12143s | to enable players to do more uh to kind |
| 12147s | of sculpt their identity within new Eden |
| 12149s | in a better way at release players will |
| 12152s | be able to acquire emblems for around |
| 12155s | 100 ships and then over time we will |
| 12158s | gradually be seeding more shape holes |
| 12160s | into the game |
| 12169s | they are helldres pretty cool logos on |
| 12171s | chips people have been asking for it for |
| 12173s | years and it's finally here CCB talk to |
| 12175s | me a little bit about it and for those |
| 12177s | who don't know we can now have our |
| 12179s | alliance uh or Corp logo and Alliance |
| 12181s | logo on our ships it's not on every |
| 12184s | single ship yet |
| 12185s | um but you can start working in the |
| 12187s | evermarks by giving in ships every day |
| 12189s | through the Irish missions and start |
| 12191s | earning these points which you can |
| 12192s | unlock then ships and and spots for them |
| 12196s | I should say I've been unlocking a bunch |
| 12198s | of these uh every day even though I'm a |
| 12200s | laptop gamer up here at the hotel I've |
| 12202s | been logging in every day making sure I |
| 12203s | start stacking up these uh evermarks to |
| 12205s | unlock this awesome and uh Bart have you |
| 12208s | managed to be a skin or logo on ship |
| 12210s | enjoy yet I tried but uh a conversation |
| 12214s | I had with CCP Swift turns out that not |
| 12216s | a single ship that I fly is already in |
| 12218s | the system yet so uh can we get some of |
| 12220s | those other ones I'm sure we're gonna |
| 12222s | get them in there for sure but no I have |
| 12224s | been doing it as well it's pretty easy |
| 12226s | um just kind of an interesting way to |
| 12227s | just see parts of the space that you |
| 12229s | haven't actually and get ships to places |
| 12231s | that you're not usually used to so yeah |
| 12232s | I'm looking forward to getting some |
| 12233s | pretty cool skins on mine as well um I |
| 12236s | can't go around to doing it yet because |
| 12237s | I've been busy with this uh let's do our |
| 12239s | quick predictions |
| 12241s | um and what we think might happen in |
| 12242s | this second all the best of five match |
| 12244s | black part pirate you went for uh truth |
| 12247s | on light in the first match no I'm |
| 12250s | trying to rewrite history |
| 12253s | what do you think in this match uh I'm |
| 12255s | feeling Odin's for realsies this time |
| 12257s | they've got it actually for realsies |
| 12259s | yeah or like I'm just saying that |
| 12261s | because I don't want to Caster's curse |
| 12262s | truth on a light okay you know what |
| 12263s | truth on her light I'll cast your skirts |
| 12265s | them instead yes and ccpb what do you |
| 12268s | think I'm sticking with what I've been |
| 12269s | saying the whole time they're gonna win |
| 12270s | this truth on a light it's going to |
| 12271s | bring it 100 I always super enjoy when |
| 12275s | we go to |
| 12276s | um the like the film matches uh because |
| 12278s | we get to see all the different |
| 12280s | techniques and all different uh cool |
| 12281s | things be brought different comps like |
| 12284s | teams getting further and further into |
| 12285s | those uh their back pocket of all these |
| 12287s | different comps it's a little bit |
| 12288s | different this year in the sense that as |
| 12290s | you mentioned Bart is not every Conquest |
| 12292s | band applying is only the last match |
| 12295s | um so it should be surprising to see how |
| 12297s | the teams react to that I'm going to put |
| 12299s | my my twitch Channel points behind |
| 12300s | Odin's call in fact I'm going to check |
| 12302s | how you guys are in twitchland are |
| 12304s | feeling on this let's have a look oh wow |
| 12306s | that's a lot of Channel points oh so at |
| 12308s | the moment over 2.1 million Channel |
| 12312s | points on truth on light and nearly a |
| 12315s | million in Odin's call I think that |
| 12316s | might be the most points I've seen in |
| 12319s | one of these bills that sounds like way |
| 12321s | more than we've been seeing recently so |
| 12322s | yeah I mean currently it's 32 percent |
| 12325s | 68 to truth on the light so I think you |
| 12327s | only want to do out there a little bit |
| 12330s | more uh on truth on the light please uh |
| 12333s | I'm told that the teams are indeed |
| 12334s | landing on grid now so we can shoot over |
| 12337s | to the arena for this second of beta |
| 12340s | five match between truth honor light and |
| 12342s | Odin's call |
| 12349s | welcome back to the arena everybody |
| 12351s | truth on a lie Odin's call match 2 of |
| 12353s | this best of five |
| 12354s | um ships are still as I said Just |
| 12356s | landing on grid so haven't had a huge |
| 12357s | amount of time to really assess these |
| 12359s | comps um for the time being uh it looks |
| 12361s | like truth on light bringing a bunch of |
| 12363s | gun loads that they brought earlier in |
| 12364s | fact exactly identical to the comp they |
| 12366s | brought earlier I believe against |
| 12366s | Voltron in the lower bracket and what |
| 12368s | about Odin's call |
| 12370s | well um Carl they have decided to bring |
| 12372s | armor control this time double Tempest |
| 12375s | Fleet issue on a battlegorn so armor |
| 12377s | control versus pseudo Octodad and we saw |
| 12381s | this pseudo Octodad pick apart an armor |
| 12383s | control setup earlier today and I'm not |
| 12387s | liking Odin's uh Outlook already just |
| 12390s | looking at these comps on grid yeah I |
| 12392s | think the survival duration of the |
| 12394s | celestis and the central are going to be |
| 12396s | key here in terms of trying to mitigate |
| 12397s | damage from these battleships but Odin's |
| 12399s | call we saw them fly this comp I think |
| 12401s | we might have flown it a couple times |
| 12402s | right at the start of the tournament |
| 12403s | maybe once or twice but notably they |
| 12405s | flew a lot in the feeders in which they |
| 12407s | flew 10 I believe 10 matches culminating |
| 12410s | in that final series against laser Hawks |
| 12411s | this comp with the battle gun on two |
| 12413s | Fleet Tempest is their bread and butter |
| 12415s | they know this comp inside and out if |
| 12417s | they are going to be truth on alarm |
| 12418s | light on execution with anything this |
| 12420s | may just be the comp with which they can |
| 12421s | do it |
| 12422s | yeah but the fighting an upheld battle |
| 12424s | they got close range battleships with a |
| 12426s | long-range web in the battleborn |
| 12427s | importantly no Skirmish links for him |
| 12430s | and the Sentinel just gets immediately |
| 12432s | deleted by these medium long-range guns |
| 12435s | from truth on our light you can take a |
| 12436s | look at the attack bar it is much larger |
| 12438s | than what Odin's call is bringing with |
| 12440s | these two battleships and with this |
| 12441s | battleborn it's like a look at the |
| 12443s | Battle Gorn now to see if this is a gun |
| 12444s | battle or if it's full newts and it |
| 12446s | appears to be a gun belt so at least I |
| 12448s | have some damage on it but they've |
| 12449s | already lost one ship and that's really |
| 12451s | all truth Hunter Knight leads to start |
| 12453s | snowballing this match |
| 12455s | yeah maybe another slow one obviously |
| 12457s | there's battleships on Odin's call not |
| 12459s | the fastest ships are pushing in there |
| 12460s | and yeah I said that Sentinel his jury |
| 12461s | his lifespan was going to be an |
| 12462s | important factor all it turns out truth |
| 12464s | on the light thought exactly the same |
| 12465s | thing and decided to just immediately |
| 12466s | obliterate him from the field I thought |
| 12468s | they actually killed him before the |
| 12469s | match even started that's obviously not |
| 12471s | possible you're not allowed to move or |
| 12472s | lock or do anything until the time it |
| 12474s | takes down but they just absolutely |
| 12475s | obliterated him before he probably got |
| 12477s | to lock or do much of anything |
| 12479s | yeah now they're focusing their DPS on a |
| 12481s | colonel Kurtz in this Tempest Fleet |
| 12483s | issue he is burning towards the center |
| 12484s | of the Arena maybe trying to get onto |
| 12486s | this Oracle of Amelia who is a little |
| 12487s | bit far forward but we see actually |
| 12489s | truth on our light starting to burn in |
| 12491s | towards the center of the Arena they |
| 12493s | might be looking for some sort of play |
| 12495s | off this micro jump Beacon or something |
| 12496s | of that nature or actually to stop the |
| 12498s | MGD play from happening from Odin's call |
| 12501s | they're stopping their ships just short |
| 12502s | of that mjd Beacon and kennel Cuts is |
| 12504s | going to go down here because he's lodgy |
| 12505s | frigates they're not quite close enough |
| 12506s | to be optimal reps they've still got all |
| 12507s | the red bots on the failure of toastbrot |
| 12509s | and Colonel Kurtz desperately needs them |
| 12510s | going against 10 armor going into Hull |
| 12512s | and he's trying to burn away here to get |
| 12514s | into range of the deacon get into range |
| 12515s | of the Thalia I think they are picking |
| 12516s | up but it's going to be too little too |
| 12517s | late he is just about going to go down |
| 12519s | here 20 structure can they kill the |
| 12521s | Oracle in time no Colonel Curtis goes |
| 12523s | down the Oracle stays alive and |
| 12525s | importantly even though it's a fairly |
| 12527s | squishy ship they just don't have the |
| 12528s | application for this it's devolved into |
| 12530s | an all-out brawl this is not what we |
| 12531s | expect from the pseudo Octodad setup but |
| 12533s | they decided we're just gonna get close |
| 12535s | range ammo and out brawl these Tempest |
| 12537s | Fleet issues and the balcorn look at our |
| 12539s | attack bar it's absolutely massive and |
| 12541s | they're on to the Paradigm Now using the |
| 12543s | high damage Anno they still haven't |
| 12544s | killed Amelia in this Oracle he keeps on |
| 12546s | tanking because they're not able to |
| 12547s | apply to him right now yeah they jumped |
| 12550s | in and this is what makes Hydra so scary |
| 12551s | is they act as one unit they're like a |
| 12553s | school of fish they swim forward they |
| 12555s | swarm back and |
| 12557s | um Dexter in the Absolution seems to be |
| 12559s | stuck in the middle of Odin's comp but |
| 12560s | critically the two battleships the |
| 12561s | Battleground attempt asleep that can |
| 12563s | actually apply damage to him aren't over |
| 12565s | there either so he is effectively sort |
| 12567s | of isolated with the Odin support when |
| 12568s | he's probably a pretty good place for |
| 12569s | him to be he can just pew at this Thalia |
| 12571s | whatever he wants reduce the list is |
| 12572s | anything that's within range and this |
| 12573s | Oracle of Amelia not a ship that you see |
| 12575s | tanking readily but he is tanking |
| 12577s | Amelia's got some sort of Dev hacks here |
| 12579s | keeping this Oracle alive with the power |
| 12581s | of anger |
| 12582s | I have the power of anger maybe the |
| 12584s | power of anger games even though they |
| 12585s | didn't participate in it either way this |
| 12587s | Oracle stays alive they kill the other |
| 12589s | Tempest Fleet issue and now they're on |
| 12591s | to Odin's calls low end they're gonna |
| 12592s | take out this Confessor and then |
| 12594s | Nathalia then maybe the Deacon uh Hodor |
| 12596s | goes down they've got damage onto the |
| 12598s | saw you have tosprout right now but it |
| 12600s | looks like instead they're gonna primary |
| 12601s | the Battleground just take all of the |
| 12603s | high end off the field Odin's collabs no |
| 12605s | more damage left they have on bonus guns |
| 12607s | on a battle Gore and a couple of newts |
| 12609s | and that is pretty much it this game is |
| 12612s | over really quickly for truth honor |
| 12614s | light |
| 12615s | yeah it's really hard for Odin's cool |
| 12617s | hair to face this opponent as we know |
| 12618s | Hydra we saw that turn from them they |
| 12621s | were kiting back at the start of the |
| 12622s | match trying to pull some range and then |
| 12623s | immediately just synchronized motion |
| 12626s | they all immediately turn around and |
| 12627s | swarm onto kernel Kurtz he reacts well |
| 12629s | he tries to get away he tries to catch |
| 12631s | reps from the Thalia and the decompet |
| 12632s | every second matters when you're in a |
| 12634s | finals matchup against the best team in |
| 12637s | the tournament which which truth on like |
| 12639s | clearly seemed to be here they're just |
| 12640s | so coordinated in their actions they've |
| 12643s | got such purpose when they cut every |
| 12645s | command of their ship has such intent |
| 12646s | behind it |
| 12648s | yeah and returning Champions right they |
| 12650s | bring this pseudo Octodad setup that we |
| 12652s | saw starting yesterday and now bringing |
| 12654s | it this time around they've got the |
| 12656s | e-war mids as well on top of this setup |
| 12658s | but more importantly they have the |
| 12659s | ability to just go in and brawl if they |
| 12662s | so decide to do so and we saw that today |
| 12665s | they out brawled a triple Battleship |
| 12668s | setup |
| 12669s | in a comp that has no battleships |
| 12673s | and the other thing is as I was saying |
| 12675s | earlier offcast I believe about truth on |
| 12678s | the light is they're so versatile in |
| 12679s | their comps I think they mentioned it on |
| 12680s | the desk as well and this kind of comp |
| 12681s | you can switch out so many things there |
| 12683s | are so many medium gunboats in the game |
| 12685s | even with a starting Absolution |
| 12687s | hurricane Fleet Oracle exec Navy or navy |
| 12689s | all band next game they can bring you |
| 12691s | know brutix navies they can bring |
| 12692s | harbingers they can bring Harbinger |
| 12693s | navies they can bring all these |
| 12694s | different gunboats so they could affect |
| 12696s | I mean this black ball pirate cell on |
| 12697s | the desk you know a nearest Guardian |
| 12698s | band they brought on execro there's so |
| 12700s | many comps so many ships in this comp |
| 12702s | where they can just switch out for not |
| 12703s | an exact equivalent but a fairly fairly |
| 12705s | roughly equivalent that sort of does the |
| 12707s | same sort of role and fly with the same |
| 12709s | level of execution that they've |
| 12711s | displayed here and potentially get the |
| 12712s | same result or of course they could |
| 12713s | totally switch it up they've still got |
| 12715s | that Flagship bar guest available indeed |
| 12716s | both teams have and now Odin's call are |
| 12718s | going to be down 2-0 in this series they |
| 12720s | may feel some pressure to field that |
| 12721s | Flagship Bargas or will they will they |
| 12723s | decide actually you know we can play |
| 12725s | sort of a psychological game by keeping |
| 12726s | it not filming it but it is now just the |
| 12728s | celestis left of Martin Conrad |
| 12731s | absolute destruction from truth honor |
| 12734s | light and that decisiveness in that |
| 12737s | coordination is something we see out of |
| 12739s | championship teams they've gone up 2-0 |
| 12742s | in the series they have one more game to |
| 12744s | go and they can bring the same comp they |
| 12746s | brought game number one if they decide |
| 12748s | to do so Odin's call back to the drawing |
| 12750s | board they need to decide what they want |
| 12752s | to bring against truth on our lights |
| 12754s | best |
| 12757s | yeah so it is going to be a hundred to |
| 12758s | zero unfortunately freudian's cool they |
| 12761s | brought their their um you know their |
| 12763s | bread and butter comp but now are they |
| 12765s | all out of ideas are they gonna have to |
| 12766s | bring out something really wacky but |
| 12767s | back to the studio from a small analysis |
| 12771s | [Music] |
| 12788s | thank you |
| 12796s | sino's up |
| 12817s | Pump It Up it up a little more get the |
| 12820s | party going on the Dance Floor |
| 12841s | foreign |
| 12853s | truth on our light there with the second |
| 12855s | Vector in this best of five that now |
| 12856s | puts them just one match away from |
| 12860s | securing themselves as the champions of |
| 12863s | Alliance tournament 18 uh or it's called |
| 12865s | they're unfortunately unable to pull out |
| 12867s | a w losing all of their ships and |
| 12869s | killing essentially nothing and not an |
| 12872s | optimal strategy at all uh we certainly |
| 12874s | hope to see them come back and push this |
| 12876s | on uh Beyond three matches CC Swift how |
| 12879s | have the matches today been for you uh |
| 12882s | they've been great I think the the |
| 12883s | matches last weekend were |
| 12885s | um at least on the final actually no the |
| 12887s | matches yesterday best ever uh they were |
| 12889s | the most exciting matches everyone was |
| 12892s | going back and forth uh we were sitting |
| 12894s | in some of the rooms and all the |
| 12895s | commentators like oh this guy's gonna |
| 12897s | win oh no the other guys |
| 12898s | and we had no idea what was going to |
| 12899s | happen it was extremely exciting uh what |
| 12902s | you're seeing now I think are teams that |
| 12904s | are incredibly well practiced uh there |
| 12906s | are mind games going on Mind Games going |
| 12908s | on Mind Games going uh in the background |
| 12910s | there which we're not exactly privy to I |
| 12913s | mean maybe Misty is a little bit but he |
| 12914s | kind of knows a little bit more Suzy B |
| 12916s | obviously knows a little bit more uh but |
| 12919s | yeah uh it's just a lot of I think |
| 12922s | you're you're seeing the hundreds of |
| 12924s | hours that these guys have put in paying |
| 12926s | off right now in the the finals on the |
| 12927s | semi-finals yep now mystical might what |
| 12930s | could Odin's have done definitely in |
| 12932s | that match there do you think to maybe |
| 12934s | at least push it harder towards Hydra I |
| 12936s | think it's it's a fairly tricky thing to |
| 12938s | to narrow down because again I feel like |
| 12940s | it's a meta matchup issue and not |
| 12942s | necessarily a skill issue because we've |
| 12944s | seen Odin's obviously claw their way |
| 12945s | through the feeders win a slot in the |
| 12948s | mainland Alliance tournament and then |
| 12949s | progress all the way to the finals so |
| 12951s | it's not a lack of skill it's just a |
| 12953s | case of the matchups that Odin's have |
| 12955s | found themselves in haven't necessarily |
| 12956s | been ideal for the setups that they're |
| 12957s | bringing to those matches |
| 12959s | um I think that Odin's have stronger |
| 12961s | setups than what they've shown so far |
| 12962s | perhaps they're just saving them for a |
| 12964s | more exciting finals where they claw |
| 12966s | their way back from two nil down uh |
| 12968s | hopefully not |
| 12969s | personally but you know I think that |
| 12971s | would be a very exciting story to tell |
| 12973s | for this at so |
| 12976s | um I guess yeah just try and keep the |
| 12977s | heads up try and keep their mental clear |
| 12979s | um try not to let these two last losses |
| 12981s | get to them because obviously they've |
| 12982s | done really well so far and see whether |
| 12984s | they can bring it back in the next match |
| 12985s | yeah no CCP Swift one of the things you |
| 12988s | said just before we came back on on air |
| 12990s | here was that Hydra sorry truth on the |
| 12993s | light have got really good at swapping |
| 12995s | ships in and out of comps talk to me |
| 12997s | about what you meant by that yeah so I |
| 12999s | think Blackboard pirate was talking |
| 13000s | about it a little bit where he was kind |
| 13001s | of sounding a little bit crazy who's |
| 13002s | like oh ships are the same guys |
| 13005s | um they're not all the same but from |
| 13006s | what he was saying is or he was trying |
| 13008s | to to convey is a lot of these ships |
| 13010s | play a very similar role they just have |
| 13012s | slightly different points so what truth |
| 13015s | on a light has kind of mastered here is |
| 13017s | they can plug and play any ship when it |
| 13019s | gets banned they can just replace it |
| 13020s | with something else uh I think they were |
| 13023s | if we're being critical of one of the |
| 13025s | best teams to ever play in the alliance |
| 13026s | tournament they were pretty bad at this |
| 13028s | in the last two Alliance tournaments |
| 13030s | this is where vigra reloaded had a |
| 13032s | little bit of advantage over them but I |
| 13034s | think they've really worked on that this |
| 13036s | year and now they're just Masters at it |
| 13039s | right you ban anything they'll just |
| 13040s | throw a jogger in there like no one's |
| 13043s | flown a drug or what are you doing uh |
| 13046s | band the logic auger it's fine uh band |
| 13048s | Blackbird take something else it's just |
| 13050s | been masterful to watch like these guys |
| 13052s | can put anything in there and they know |
| 13055s | how that ship is going to fly and they |
| 13057s | know how to fly that comp somehow like |
| 13059s | they've just become uh cyborg humans |
| 13062s | well sometimes when we see uh teams |
| 13065s | especially newer teams uh come into the |
| 13067s | tournament and they don't have maybe the |
| 13069s | the most in-depth understanding of of |
| 13070s | the meta as it's going to develop and we |
| 13073s | see them copy comps from the previous |
| 13075s | year and then as the tournament goes on |
| 13077s | people figure out what the current meta |
| 13078s | is then they start adjusting mystical |
| 13080s | might when you are building comps and |
| 13082s | things like what is the process from |
| 13084s | going like Hey we're a new alliance |
| 13086s | tournament the rules are out you know |
| 13088s | where do you start |
| 13089s | oh I mean there's so many different |
| 13091s | things to take into account I don't want |
| 13092s | to make it sound like an impossible job |
| 13094s | for newer teams right because like you |
| 13095s | said newer teams coming into the |
| 13097s | tournament they can look at what's |
| 13098s | worked in the past try and replicate |
| 13100s | that in the current tournament and then |
| 13101s | they can actually make it fairly foreign |
| 13102s | I know Rusty hyenas is one of the groups |
| 13105s | that we shouted out for taking some of |
| 13106s | those Concepts that we saw in previous |
| 13108s | tournaments and then replicating that in |
| 13109s | the feeders and making it into the |
| 13111s | actual tournament itself |
| 13112s | um so it can be done |
| 13114s | um I think |
| 13115s | there's a lot that needs to go on it |
| 13117s | needs to be a question of well what are |
| 13119s | you trying to achieve with your setup |
| 13120s | right you need to understand what that |
| 13121s | setup is meant to do before trying to |
| 13124s | put that set up together so that you can |
| 13125s | make sure everything fits together |
| 13126s | properly instead of having you know a |
| 13128s | celestis and then two broadling ships |
| 13131s | um because the celestis isn't going to |
| 13132s | provide you with that much like damage |
| 13134s | cover because you're going to be in lock |
| 13135s | range the entire time anyway right |
| 13137s | there's little things that you need to |
| 13138s | think about how does this synergize |
| 13141s | um does this make sense to put these two |
| 13142s | ships together what is the effect that |
| 13144s | it's going to have in the actual match |
| 13146s | against the ships that we're going we're |
| 13148s | expecting to come up against because you |
| 13149s | can never really know what you're going |
| 13150s | up against until it lands on grid one of |
| 13152s | the stressful things about the alliance |
| 13154s | tournament the other thing is |
| 13156s | when teams are copying setups sometimes |
| 13158s | we see the same ships as another team |
| 13160s | has brought but the fittings may be |
| 13162s | different if the team that They're |
| 13164s | copying hasn't actually lost their ships |
| 13165s | before that's another thing to take into |
| 13167s | account right you may understand |
| 13169s | generally what the comp is meant to do |
| 13171s | but you really need to think about it |
| 13173s | and test it and practice it not just |
| 13174s | copy it on the day and then decide to |
| 13176s | bring it because you still need to |
| 13177s | understand what it's meant to be |
| 13179s | achieving which is just something that |
| 13181s | teams can keep in mind if they're |
| 13182s | practicing and they're trying out some |
| 13183s | of this old Tech that we've seen uh |
| 13186s | there there's no reason why they can't |
| 13187s | make it decently fall into a tournament |
| 13189s | and potentially win some fried ships |
| 13191s | yeah the price ships now available for |
| 13193s | the top 16 teams in Alliance tournament |
| 13196s | 17 and 18 which is uh as you would say |
| 13199s | C2 Swift poggers yeah that is very Park |
| 13202s | yeah yeah and uh how what do you think |
| 13204s | of the price ships this year you were |
| 13205s | telling me during the break actually |
| 13207s | quite good uh yeah so we did a little |
| 13209s | bit of theory crafting uh to see like |
| 13211s | what exactly should these ships do and |
| 13214s | ccbb uh Suzuki Paragon CBB convict and |
| 13217s | since we zealous and myself came up with |
| 13220s | like some really great ideas they were |
| 13222s | actually horrible ideas but they seemed |
| 13225s | great to us because they were really |
| 13227s | funny at least they seemed great to me |
| 13228s | because they were really funny but we |
| 13231s | settled on uh with the web drone bonus |
| 13234s | and the web zone strength |
| 13236s | um probably makes them a much better |
| 13238s | ship over 10 effective launchers on the |
| 13241s | best luck I know some people thought it |
| 13243s | might be the worst love but no it's the |
| 13245s | best it's really good uh you get a vindi |
| 13247s | Webb at like 40 kilometers who's gonna |
| 13250s | be mad about that |
| 13252s | I think it really landed in the great |
| 13254s | spot and I'm excited to see these ships |
| 13256s | kill people on TQ but I'm more excited |
| 13258s | to see these ships explode yeah and I |
| 13261s | actually went on and I looked up the |
| 13262s | name so it's it's called Gary and I was |
| 13265s | like where else does this name come from |
| 13266s | and it turns out the frackie or frecky |
| 13269s | uh comes from it's one of Odin's dogs I |
| 13271s | believe and Gary is the other one is |
| 13273s | that correct uh they're they're like |
| 13275s | brothers or cousins or something yeah |
| 13277s | who knows how this whole mythology works |
| 13279s | yeah |
| 13280s | no CBB knows exactly how we could |
| 13282s | actually probably ask him uh but yeah |
| 13285s | but he's not here yeah he's left he's |
| 13287s | flown away he's gone yeah he's gone with |
| 13290s | the frickian oh no no the whatever hey |
| 13293s | Gary I think it's still still named |
| 13294s | after Jerry Harwell that's my uh that's |
| 13296s | my theory we did have a pretty intense |
| 13298s | Spice Girls debate |
| 13300s | uh at the office and um excuse me Aurora |
| 13304s | also mentioned that the uh ship also |
| 13307s | sounds like an old polish woman so uh in |
| 13310s | her head that's that's what that ship is |
| 13311s | there you go yeah uh now I want to come |
| 13314s | back to Mystical might |
| 13316s | um so we talked a little bit about how |
| 13317s | you start building a comp but once |
| 13319s | you've got that comp and you've got a |
| 13321s | team set up how do you actually go about |
| 13323s | testing it and practicing with it to |
| 13324s | actually learn about what it does |
| 13326s | so again there's a few different ways |
| 13329s | that you can go about this I know some |
| 13331s | teams have favored open practices in a |
| 13333s | way so there used to be some open |
| 13335s | practices that went on where |
| 13337s | um scrims would be organized by somebody |
| 13339s | and then teams could turn up on the day |
| 13340s | and they'd get matched up against teams |
| 13342s | that they've never played before in |
| 13343s | comps that they've not discussed and |
| 13345s | it's just literally like it would be in |
| 13347s | the alliance tournament you go in you |
| 13349s | fight you die you win |
| 13351s | you figure out what the weaknesses of |
| 13352s | your compound what the strengths of the |
| 13353s | compar and then you go back and work on |
| 13355s | it other teams especially some of the |
| 13358s | high performing teams that we've seen |
| 13359s | like truth on the light we form Volta |
| 13362s | presumably Odin's call um lock Ranger |
| 13364s | enjoyers |
| 13365s | um tuskers I'm sure will probably have |
| 13368s | practice partners |
| 13370s | who they will scrim with |
| 13373s | a few times a week for months |
| 13376s | in advance of the actual tournament |
| 13377s | happening to figure out okay what are |
| 13379s | the different options that we have what |
| 13381s | are the strengths and weaknesses of the |
| 13382s | team that we're playing against which is |
| 13383s | something that factors in when you end |
| 13385s | up going against your practice Partners |
| 13387s | um and yeah it's just about whittling |
| 13389s | away at different ideas the spanner in |
| 13391s | the works comes in when CCP releases a |
| 13393s | patch a week or so in advance of the |
| 13395s | tournament and then everyone's |
| 13397s | scrambling to figure out |
| 13398s | what ships are actually good sometimes |
| 13401s | they get tricked Navy getting enjoyers |
| 13403s | um Navy Dominics enjoys |
| 13405s | um and sometimes yeah it's fairly good |
| 13407s | like the Navy executor which we've seen |
| 13409s | uh field in and then banned a bunch just |
| 13411s | because it's really performing well same |
| 13413s | with the Navy Osprey I think Navy |
| 13414s | caracals as well yeah they've been |
| 13416s | performing really well in this |
| 13417s | tournament so yeah I mean there's |
| 13419s | a few things that you can get done in |
| 13421s | the few months leading up to tournament |
| 13423s | there's some things that you need to |
| 13424s | kind of adapt to on the fly as things |
| 13426s | happen as comps are shown uh but yeah |
| 13428s | yeah just find yourself a practice |
| 13430s | partner but try not to get yourself |
| 13432s | trapped into an echo chamber so don't do |
| 13434s | internals solely internals do you find |
| 13437s | other people that you can fly against |
| 13438s | yeah it's a really important thing to |
| 13440s | mention |
| 13441s | um another thing that's really tricky |
| 13443s | when you do internal testing only |
| 13445s | is some of the practices can get a |
| 13447s | little bit intense |
| 13448s | uh and you're spending hundreds of hours |
| 13450s | with these people and uh sometimes you |
| 13453s | know those tensions can flare a little |
| 13454s | bit uh I'm sorry Mr Rife if you're |
| 13457s | watching |
| 13458s | um you're a good man |
| 13460s | awesome now uh Messi you mentioned some |
| 13463s | of these new ships in fact I do believe |
| 13464s | we have a short video we can uh we can |
| 13466s | throw up about those right now |
| 13473s | you've already seen eight new ships |
| 13475s | released last month and with Uprising |
| 13477s | expansion we're expanding the selection |
| 13479s | of navy ships even further with a new |
| 13482s | set of Navy destroyers for each faction |
| 13484s | as well as navy dreadnoughts we chose |
| 13487s | these ships because they'll fill some |
| 13488s | gaps in the existing Navy lineup as well |
| 13490s | as creating new and diverse engagements |
| 13492s | in the faction Warfare ecosystem with |
| 13494s | the dreadnoughts we wanted to give |
| 13496s | players something that was really |
| 13497s | aspirational a large goal to work |
| 13499s | towards something really special and |
| 13501s | something that will help to mix up the |
| 13503s | capital ecosystem elsewhere in the game |
| 13505s | we want to find new and unique uses for |
| 13507s | these ships in the Eve online ecosystem |
| 13509s | that isn't just going to step on the |
| 13511s | toes of other existing vessels each |
| 13514s | faction has their own like kind of like |
| 13517s | mini guidelines regarding that the |
| 13519s | Phoenix is uh for example like a ship |
| 13522s | that uh needed to be updated the base |
| 13525s | Phoenix itself is getting all the uh new |
| 13528s | textures and model pieces that the Navy |
| 13532s | one has minus some details that we just |
| 13535s | uniquely made for the for the Navy |
| 13537s | version for every animation or if I |
| 13540s | stayed the ship can go in we've added |
| 13542s | more animations incorporating uh VFX so |
| 13546s | like if something is moving there's a |
| 13549s | really good chance that some VFX are |
| 13551s | involved the end and uh highlighting |
| 13554s | that I can't wait to see these ships get |
| 13556s | into your hands see what you do with |
| 13557s | them and look at the deaths on ziko |
| 13569s | whereas CCP Aurora and CSV bunny virus |
| 13571s | there with some information about the |
| 13572s | new ships to be swift you turned to me |
| 13574s | in the middle of that and said I've got |
| 13575s | a good one for this |
| 13577s | uh so these ships you cannot find the |
| 13579s | alliance tournament they were the Navy |
| 13581s | dreads that we showcased uh incredibly |
| 13583s | cool ships you need to be an Omega pilot |
| 13585s | to Pilot those new ships and it just so |
| 13588s | happens until November 22nd in the new |
| 13590s | Eden store uh you can get seven days |
| 13593s | free Omega |
| 13594s | a great plug yeah I did it Well Done |
| 13598s | we've actually been into that all |
| 13599s | weekend and we just kept forgetting yeah |
| 13600s | I know I kept forgetting too and then it |
| 13603s | seems to be Castrol said it in chat and |
| 13604s | I was like oh he's better at this than |
| 13606s | me yeah it's like so many things but |
| 13608s | yeah uh mystical might as an Omega |
| 13610s | enjoyer how would you go on about |
| 13612s | getting this seven day free uh so what |
| 13615s | you do I believe this is the way is to |
| 13618s | log in to Eve online perhaps as an alpha |
| 13620s | account crazy I know and then to open up |
| 13623s | the new Eden store and it should just be |
| 13625s | little 7 Day Omega zero Plex cost you |
| 13628s | just redeem that to your account and |
| 13630s | Away you go I don't know if you need to |
| 13632s | re-log to make sure that it fully takes |
| 13633s | effect but I don't think so I think |
| 13635s | we've got past the stage of needing to |
| 13637s | re-log for things now yeah we're really |
| 13639s | good at the at that stuff yeah yeah |
| 13642s | speaking of other things that we're good |
| 13644s | at narrative is a new Focus these days |
| 13647s | and we have a short video on that |
| 13650s | foreign |
| 13655s | design is something that we started |
| 13657s | earlier this year we well we have done |
| 13660s | it sometime in the past in some shapes |
| 13662s | or form but we sort of wanted to |
| 13664s | escalate it so like in the past in the |
| 13666s | lead up to for example Abyssal debt |
| 13668s | space we had a story going on and kind |
| 13672s | of mystery and things for players to |
| 13675s | discover etc etc and we sort of wanted |
| 13678s | to apply that to basically as much as we |
| 13682s | can when we're creating new features for |
| 13685s | you online this summer we have had |
| 13687s | things happening around athenon where |
| 13689s | kaltarian galactir are extracting it out |
| 13692s | we have things happening in Turner where |
| 13696s | the Amar started having just other |
| 13699s | transmuters and and the minister trying |
| 13701s | to stop them we have Tech races between |
| 13704s | the empires and we want these player |
| 13707s | activities and events really sort of |
| 13709s | control how the features are rosed out |
| 13712s | then in whatsoever and then that players |
| 13714s | actually do affect the storyline and |
| 13717s | their history of of new Eden for example |
| 13720s | with the uh with the gate Construction |
| 13722s | in athenon both the kaltari wanted to |
| 13724s | get into atanan and the galante and it |
| 13727s | was totally up to the players to |
| 13729s | determine when or if their empire |
| 13732s | managed to construct the gate into atan |
| 13734s | and we are quite willing if players do |
| 13737s | not manage to actually |
| 13739s | construct the gate you know meet the |
| 13741s | requirements for the Empire to actually |
| 13743s | construct the game into into ultimate |
| 13744s | they will never get the gate into atana |
| 13747s | it's always totally and completely in in |
| 13749s | player hands |
| 13750s | what we are really trying is to co-write |
| 13753s | the story of new eaten with players and |
| 13756s | player input and make player input |
| 13758s | meaningful to that story have them |
| 13761s | actually affect the politics of new it |
| 13763s | and and the world of newly |
| 13772s | there you are hearing a little bit about |
| 13773s | the narrative arcs currently in the game |
| 13776s | from the uprising expansion Turner was |
| 13779s | pretty cool |
| 13780s | um I don't know if you guys noticed but |
| 13781s | the star blew up |
| 13782s | um space Gandalf uh is no longer a thing |
| 13786s | he is now dead send-off standoff that's |
| 13788s | he's that's actually not his name he's |
| 13790s | got a real name it seems to be Loki who |
| 13792s | you just heard from uh has this |
| 13794s | incredible backstory with him about him |
| 13796s | with the CB delegate zero |
| 13798s | um he's dead though |
| 13805s | they were too stubborn to evacuate they |
| 13807s | were like guys we got this we've got the |
| 13810s | powers to prevent this whole thing from |
| 13812s | exploding turns out the whole thing |
| 13815s | exploded anyway and they didn't stop it |
| 13817s | hmm that's a big sad yeah uh speaking of |
| 13821s | big sad uh let's go to the look at the |
| 13822s | bands and see what truth on the light |
| 13824s | and Odin's call are going to choose not |
| 13826s | to see this time |
| 13829s | so truth or like Banning out the Osprey |
| 13832s | the Stormbreaker hyena Odin's call |
| 13834s | Banning out the Nighthawk the guardian |
| 13835s | the pontifex the trickle bands I'm |
| 13837s | assuming uh this is uh there are no |
| 13840s | trickle bands uh at all this is indeed a |
| 13842s | mistake this is a nice ship you can look |
| 13844s | at you can enjoy it but please do ignore |
| 13846s | it mystical might what do you see here I |
| 13849s | do like the nun bands it's a non bands |
| 13851s | are pretty good I don't ban a lot of |
| 13852s | ships every match that's true most trips |
| 13854s | are unbanned in each match um in fact |
| 13856s | let's list them yeah absolutely not I |
| 13860s | mean it's interesting to see the |
| 13861s | guardian pontifex band coming in |
| 13863s | pontifex driving people more towards the |
| 13864s | Magus I can't quite remember if |
| 13869s | these are the conquest bands so of |
| 13871s | course not so the Magus was not fielded |
| 13873s | so it's not banned so the magoose is |
| 13876s | loose the goose is loose yeah so the |
| 13877s | conquest bands here uh for truth when I |
| 13879s | like the Oracle the hurricane flea |
| 13881s | tissue the executor Navy issue which of |
| 13883s | course has just been buffed is now super |
| 13884s | popular the Absolution the Hecate the |
| 13887s | augura Navy issue the executor the |
| 13890s | non-navy issue one the histarity and the |
| 13892s | Muller so CP Swift what do you think we |
| 13895s | might see coming up in this match from |
| 13896s | trotonal light |
| 13899s | of ships I have no idea what we're gonna |
| 13901s | see uh but I think we're gonna see a |
| 13903s | heck of a lot of swagger uh the way |
| 13905s | truth honor light went through the Volta |
| 13906s | team I think they're just surging right |
| 13908s | now uh I don't think there's anything |
| 13910s | that can stop them uh even those |
| 13913s | Conquest bands I think they're just |
| 13914s | gonna as bar was mentioning plug some |
| 13916s | new ships in there do some space math |
| 13918s | and get a good team out of it somehow |
| 13921s | um mystical might your thoughts uh so in |
| 13923s | any other year I would actually kind of |
| 13925s | know what the theory was but with the |
| 13927s | patch happening not long before we |
| 13929s | actually traveled over uh to put on the |
| 13931s | production I actually have no idea what |
| 13932s | the theory looks like at the end of it |
| 13934s | so some of the comps that I've seen I've |
| 13936s | kind of panicked over a little bit |
| 13938s | um so yeah I have no idea what we're |
| 13939s | gonna see this time |
| 13940s | so this is |
| 13942s | um as mentioned this is a best of Five |
| 13944s | series that we're in we're currently two |
| 13945s | matches deep into it |
| 13947s | um truth wanna like have the opportunity |
| 13948s | now to seal this up and become the |
| 13951s | alliance from 18 Grand Champions Odin's |
| 13954s | call massive shout out to them they have |
| 13956s | uh done just incredible work to get here |
| 13958s | to this point they performed incredibly |
| 13961s | like they didn't drop a single match |
| 13962s | until they reached this Grand Final |
| 13965s | against uh truth on a light which you |
| 13967s | know one of the most experienced teams |
| 13969s | uh in the entire Alliance tournament |
| 13970s | like just in history like all the |
| 13972s | players that are in that team now and |
| 13974s | Odin's call I mean there's a bunch of |
| 13975s | really experienced players there like |
| 13976s | Colonel Kirch from NC DOT uh he's |
| 13978s | previously not managed to get past |
| 13980s | fourth place so well done to him getting |
| 13982s | second place at least potentially first |
| 13984s | place I think I'm winning three in a row |
| 13985s | uh which you know it's a tough order of |
| 13988s | CCP Swift do you think Odin's maybe can |
| 13989s | pull that off |
| 13990s | um it has been done before uh winning |
| 13992s | three in a row in a best of five grand |
| 13994s | final |
| 13995s | um I don't know it's just so hard uh I |
| 13998s | was talking to Susie B |
| 14001s | and I think Misty or maybe it was |
| 14002s | Blackboard pirate |
| 14004s | um generally speaking the team that goes |
| 14007s | into the elimination bracket has the |
| 14009s | better run in the grand finals they just |
| 14011s | have like uh more |
| 14013s | um more Swagger we can call it but |
| 14015s | they've got more matches played they're |
| 14016s | kind of like going full speed and they |
| 14019s | know exactly like what their next uh |
| 14022s | Team or next opponent is going to be |
| 14023s | like they know what their like wingman's |
| 14025s | gonna do they're just in a really great |
| 14026s | Rhythm and it's hard to break that |
| 14029s | Odin's call they had an amazing route to |
| 14031s | get here but they've had to kind of sit |
| 14033s | all day and watch what was unfolding |
| 14035s | ahead of them and when you sit there and |
| 14037s | watch you're like ah what are these guys |
| 14039s | going to do to us you might overthink |
| 14040s | some things you just kind of get out of |
| 14042s | your groove a little bit |
| 14044s | um so it is possible for Owens called to |
| 14046s | do it they are talented enough they've |
| 14048s | got the theory Crafters they've got the |
| 14049s | pilots they've got the skill but I think |
| 14051s | that one little thing that truth or |
| 14054s | light has is just that little bit more |
| 14056s | uh steam in the uh pocket that's where I |
| 14060s | keep my steam as well yeah pocket I want |
| 14062s | to quickly go to Twitch chat and just |
| 14064s | have a look and see what the twitch |
| 14065s | Channel points are at right now so |
| 14068s | um |
| 14069s | 1.16 million twitch Channel points uh |
| 14072s | currently an Odin's call uh to |
| 14075s | 3.24 million on truth on the light so |
| 14078s | over nearly four and a half million |
| 14080s | Channel points right now uh with the |
| 14081s | majority of them 75 of them going |
| 14083s | towards truth on the light so you guys |
| 14085s | out there uh putting your channel points |
| 14087s | behind truth on a light uh mystical |
| 14089s | Knight |
| 14090s | what are your thoughts predictions truth |
| 14092s | on a light |
| 14094s | that is that is the prediction that's |
| 14096s | easy to be Swift I'm gonna spam this |
| 14098s | ball for Owen's call uh I just want to |
| 14100s | see more matches uh and I know Odin can |
| 14102s | Owens can do it so uh yeah let's let's |
| 14105s | spam this ball for one's call okay I've |
| 14107s | just been informed that there is narrow |
| 14108s | delay uh we were we were on schedule |
| 14111s | last time I wasn't far but now there is |
| 14113s | delay uh in local so uh CP Swift you're |
| 14115s | over here not to come how's it been for |
| 14117s | you uh it's weird it's like foggy and |
| 14120s | then when it's not foggy it's like rainy |

| 14167s | believe it's the last week of September |
| 14168s | uh excuse me conduct was talking about |
| 14170s | it earlier today or yesterday |
| 14173s | I don't remember he did a much better |
| 14175s | job than I'm about to uh We've expanded |
| 14178s | like the the area that we've had a |
| 14179s | little bit uh actually quite a bit I |
| 14181s | think we've more than doubled the size |
| 14183s | uh leading up to the 20th anniversary |
| 14186s | um there's already been a lot of |
| 14188s | planning already done for it the art |
| 14190s | that you saw there's like cool little |
| 14191s | teasers in there uh some breadcrumbs |
| 14194s | there's like a real Eve constellation in |
| 14195s | the background if you can guess what it |
| 14197s | is you do win a prize |
| 14200s | I didn't want to commit to that one |
| 14203s | too late you win a prize directly from |
| 14206s | me it might be not be a good prize but |
| 14209s | you'll win a prize if you can guess the |
| 14211s | the systems in the background awesome uh |
| 14214s | well I believe the teams are landing on |
| 14215s | grid so we can uh pretty much get ready |
| 14217s | to go to this match and again just to |
| 14219s | remind you this is the match point |
| 14221s | Championship point for truth or not if |
| 14223s | they if they can win this they can pull |
| 14224s | this off then they go home as winners if |
| 14226s | Odin's call can pull a match off of them |
| 14228s | then they extend this and potentially |
| 14230s | give themselves an opportunity to come |
| 14232s | back let's go through that and find out |
| 14233s | if this match between truth on the light |
| 14235s | and Odin's call |
| 14241s | welcome back Theory and everybody for |
| 14243s | game three of this Grand Final and |
| 14244s | potentially the last game if truth on |
| 14246s | the light are able to take Clean Sweep |
| 14248s | 3-0 and what are these comps looking |
| 14249s | like fear vinyl what have they got |
| 14252s | well on the audience call side the brunt |
| 14254s | Shields kind with dual bar guests and |
| 14257s | flag burgers for truth on our light and |
| 14260s | armor control which we saw them play |
| 14261s | this comp earlier today yeah and I think |
| 14264s | these bogus as you say it's a flag bogus |
| 14265s | for truth on the line I think it's not a |
| 14267s | flag Bargas for Odin's Colonel Kurtz and |
| 14269s | yokan just flying regular Bargas so if |
| 14271s | they lose here they'll be out of the |
| 14272s | tournament but the flag bogus will |
| 14274s | indeed still be alive which is you know |
| 14276s | sort of a minor |
| 14277s | um minor status minor point to have you |
| 14281s | know I mean aside from coming second |
| 14282s | place in the alliance tournament and |
| 14283s | scoring Oodles of ships |
| 14286s | Odin's called for the first time uh in |
| 14289s | this finals has the larger attack bar on |
| 14292s | their side but they have a much smaller |
| 14294s | control bar and a bit of a smaller |
| 14295s | defense bar as well and we saw truth on |
| 14297s | our light being able to use these low |
| 14299s | damage comps to some effect earlier |
| 14301s | today versus Volta the match is now |
| 14302s | underway and burning in actually is this |
| 14306s | Confessor of Amelia dust based towards |
| 14307s | the center of the Arena as Odin's call |
| 14309s | begins to start to kite out with their |
| 14311s | HML ships yeah true something like as |
| 14313s | you said bring in this kind of comp |
| 14315s | multiple times they keep bringing these |
| 14317s | black birds I was thinking at the start |
| 14318s | of the day if they're obviously starting |
| 14319s | off against um tuskers in the lower |
| 14322s | bracket and then going through vulture |
| 14323s | as well they keep bringing these |
| 14324s | blackbirds they can't keep getting away |
| 14325s | with it but it seems they can they can |
| 14327s | just keep bringing this ECM and no team |
| 14328s | seems to have really found an answer to |
| 14330s | this double Blackbird combo the truth on |
| 14331s | the light seems to field here they they |
| 14333s | combine these double blackbirds |
| 14336s | um using their powerful execution as a |
| 14338s | team with sort of lower DPS comps than |
| 14339s | you might expect this is a comp we saw |
| 14341s | the other day just the Bargas the EOS |
| 14342s | and the authors really providing the |
| 14343s | majority of their damage but with those |
| 14345s | jams they know if they can get the jam |
| 14346s | on the Scythe they can probably have |
| 14348s | enough time to take out you know a Navy |
| 14349s | caracal or a jackdaw one of the smaller |
| 14351s | ships on the on the Odin School side |
| 14353s | yeah and blackbirds I mean they've got a |
| 14355s | jam strength bonus but it's not a |
| 14357s | massive one uh but they still aren't |
| 14360s | gonna be somewhat effective against the |
| 14361s | Scythe because he does have T1 uh sensor |
| 14364s | strength so now it's going into kadash |
| 14367s | presets right now with these hmls being |
| 14369s | used by owner's call but it doesn't look |
| 14371s | like uh they have decided to use the |
| 14373s | rapid heavy Clips on them yet |
| 14376s | yeah but I mean I don't see why they |
| 14378s | wouldn't they need to start shooting |
| 14379s | something because at some point as you |
| 14380s | say this Scythe Tech One sensor strength |
| 14382s | it is going to get jammed at some point |
| 14383s | that is basically an eventuality this |
| 14385s | Scythe will be jammed at some point |
| 14387s | during this match and when that happens |
| 14389s | truth on the light are going to pounce |
| 14391s | and they are going to kill something so |
| 14392s | Odin's cool need to make something |
| 14394s | happen while that's life isn't jammed |
| 14396s | because this this truth on a light |
| 14397s | compost I said it's not huge damage it |
| 14399s | can probably hold Odin's core can |
| 14401s | probably hold reasonably well while this |
| 14403s | Scythe is is unjammed the jam is the key |
| 14406s | aspect of the truth on light comp once |
| 14407s | that jam lands that's when they can make |
| 14409s | progress and this Jack door of ethyl now |
| 14411s | is going into armor |
| 14415s | going in looking for the tackle and |
| 14417s | that's the commit from Odin's call he's |
| 14419s | now going to try to burn away as these |
| 14421s | bar guests from Odin's get close to him |
| 14424s | he's gonna be able to Scranton kite them |
| 14425s | away it's a beautiful bait perhaps the |
| 14427s | stork from Odin's now coming in right on |
| 14429s | top of him he's gonna be able to land |
| 14431s | the scram but he will not be long for |
| 14433s | the world if uh truth on her light have |
| 14435s | anything to say about it they take out |
| 14437s | the jackdaw and now they're on those |
| 14438s | caracal Navy as well this flag bargist |
| 14441s | is scrammed he is currently uh tackled |
| 14444s | but it's not gonna be for long because |
| 14446s | they're immediately onto the stork and |
| 14447s | he's not in range of the Scythe reps |
| 14449s | yeah now that yeah the stalk goes down |
| 14451s | as well and Dex is completely holding |
| 14453s | here onto the wraps and again I hate to |
| 14455s | call it so early just 16 points to zero |
| 14457s | but it's looking pretty disastrous here |
| 14459s | for Odin's call already he's just barely |
| 14461s | three minutes into the match and Hydra |
| 14463s | have already managed to execute their |
| 14465s | comp to Perfection and wipe out a |
| 14466s | significant portion without really |
| 14467s | giving anything away and that's the |
| 14469s | thing that well I mean the thing there's |
| 14471s | so many things that are impressive about |
| 14472s | this Hydra team but one of the things is |
| 14473s | they don't give you anything for free |
| 14475s | none of these Pilots you know Screw Up |
| 14477s | and and are in the wrong place at the |
| 14479s | wrong time doing the wrong thing every |
| 14481s | pilot is on the ball they're all |
| 14483s | coordinated they all know where they |
| 14484s | need to be what they need to be doing |
| 14486s | and they're not going to give you any |
| 14487s | any free points you need to earn them |
| 14489s | and it's so so difficult |
| 14490s | yeah no one's call too quick to pounce |
| 14493s | on the bait from Dexter shio beautifully |
| 14494s | baited using the I would assume off of |
| 14497s | the scram range on that Bargas to great |
| 14499s | effect they're gonna lose Hodor in this |
| 14501s | Osprey Navy issue as well the caracal |
| 14504s | Navy issue of Martin might be the next |
| 14505s | Target he has a little bit damage onto |
| 14507s | his shield but uh Hodor out of xlasp |
| 14509s | charges he goes down and no one has died |
| 14512s | from truth under light once again |
| 14514s | yeah it's still just the power of the |
| 14516s | Nero strips from General Hungary |
| 14517s | obviously a pilot on the ball and all |
| 14519s | the rep Bots that they've got from |
| 14520s | example the EOS the bar guest they just |
| 14522s | don't have the damage to really break |
| 14523s | through anything and this is going to be |
| 14525s | the end of Odin's call unfortunately |
| 14527s | going 3-0 well getting three zero sorry |
| 14530s | buy truth on a light in the final just |
| 14531s | as Volta did last year but let's just |
| 14533s | take a couple minutes as I'm assuming |
| 14535s | they're not they're not gonna they're |
| 14537s | not gonna stage a comeback here with the |
| 14538s | jams getting more and more oppressive on |
| 14539s | the settings of course like let's just |
| 14540s | take a minute to appreciate the progress |
| 14542s | that Odin's call have made over the last |
| 14544s | couple of years and obviously to get |
| 14546s | this far in this tournament in |
| 14548s | particular I mean a lot of teams we see |
| 14549s | sometimes they come through the |
| 14550s | tournament we see a bunch of teams in |
| 14552s | the past third and fourth places are not |
| 14553s | going to name any names but they get |
| 14555s | particularly easy runs you know they get |
| 14556s | a lucky bracket draw Odin's on the other |
| 14558s | hand they went through the feeders they |
| 14559s | clawed their way through they faced |
| 14561s | paper numbers who finished filing highly |
| 14562s | in the AG they they fought nanofiber |
| 14564s | tokens they fought templates they beat |
| 14566s | tuskers they beat Volta they have not |
| 14569s | had an easy run so to finish second |
| 14571s | place here although it's going to be |
| 14572s | heartbreaking at the moment for this |
| 14573s | Odin's team it's a really really |
| 14575s | admirable achievement |
| 14576s | yeah and it's their best ever at finish |
| 14578s | I'm excited to see what comes with them |
| 14580s | next uh we will have another anger games |
| 14582s | sometime I've been told although that is |
| 14585s | not completely confirmed yet by the |
| 14587s | organizers of that but I know yinton is |
| 14589s | perhaps running a tournament off his own |
| 14591s | he might say something about that uh so |
| 14593s | we will have more tournaments on the |
| 14594s | alliance tournament coming up at the |
| 14596s | beginning of next year I'll be excited |
| 14598s | for those as well I know a lot of these |
| 14600s | top at teams don't necessarily show up |
| 14603s | for that uh truth honor light AKA Hydro |
| 14605s | didn't field a team for it uh for anger |
| 14607s | games neither do tuskers right but it |
| 14610s | should be fun to watch nonetheless |
| 14613s | yeah and we see GFS coming out in locals |
| 14615s | now obviously both these teams they know |
| 14616s | us on grid they know that it's written |
| 14619s | at this point the bar guests are going |
| 14620s | to go down the Scythe I believe of toast |
| 14622s | brought boundaries they know it's over |
| 14624s | um and yeah congratulations I've said |
| 14626s | I've said congratulations to audience |
| 14627s | call for finishing second of course |
| 14628s | extra congratulations to Hydra for |
| 14630s | finishing first it's just been a |
| 14632s | wonderful performance from them |
| 14633s | throughout the tournament |
| 14635s | um I'm surprised a little bit that at |
| 14638s | the meta really I mean we saw all sorts |
| 14640s | of different stuff from them and they |
| 14641s | excused it wonderfully but we never |
| 14642s | really saw |
| 14644s | they kept coming back to these same sort |
| 14646s | of they had a bunch of varied ideas but |
| 14648s | they kept coming back to them it seems |
| 14649s | like maybe they've still got something |
| 14651s | in store that we won't actually get to |
| 14652s | see because Hydra when pushed up against |
| 14654s | the wall you know with their backs |
| 14656s | against the wall they often bring out |
| 14657s | something that's totally different |
| 14658s | something that I remember a final |
| 14660s | against Vidor I think it was in 80 16 a |
| 14664s | couple years ago they brought up |
| 14665s | something totally wacky with like a |
| 14666s | bunch of drekov Acts and Legions or |
| 14667s | whatever it was nothing like anything |
| 14669s | we'd seen all tournament they lost with |
| 14670s | it but unfortunately on this occasion I |
| 14672s | think we're just not going to get to see |
| 14673s | what truth online still has left in the |
| 14675s | tank |
| 14677s | no we won't and the rules are going to |
| 14679s | change next year I fully expect scripted |
| 14681s | D War to be back down in the dumpster |
| 14682s | where it belongs uh might not even see |
| 14685s | the t2 versions of those e-war modules |
| 14687s | just for extra spite we will see I'm not |
| 14690s | sure who's after mimitar of the rotation |
| 14692s | I feel like it's either caldari or Amar |
| 14694s | but I could be wrong because I was not |
| 14696s | around for the original Empire ATS I |
| 14699s | think it's actually the one you didn't |
| 14701s | name I think it's actually glensco it's |
| 14702s | just because the YouTube addressed here |
| 14704s | I think they're older than the than the |
| 14706s | I don't know about the tournaments |
| 14707s | themselves but I think I remember the |
| 14709s | utu and adrestia are older than the |
| 14710s | cambian and the whatever but anyway |
| 14712s | that's going to be it from us truth on |
| 14714s | light taking this Clean Sweep in the |
| 14716s | finals three zero congratulations to |
| 14717s | them congratulations again to Odin's |
| 14719s | call very admirable performance coming |

| 14814s | tournament 18 in a three-nail victory |

| 14820s | called it a fantastic job uh to get this |
| 14823s | far in the tournament but unfortunately |
| 14824s | for them truth honor light we're just |
| 14826s | too powerful they're power level which |
