| 30s | and welcome back to Alliance tournament |
| 33s | 19 I am CCP overload joined once again |
| 35s | by moderator and Blackboard pirate as we |
| 38s | bring you more spaceship explosions this |
| 39s | is day two of four uh we have plenty |
| 43s | more to go we've said goodbye to three |
| 45s | teams thus far Deepwater Hooligans the |
| 47s | engines and a band apart they were |
| 49s | eliminated yesterday in some pretty |
| 50s | tense elimination matches a couple of |
| 53s | flagships died as well which is always |
| 54s | exciting and we're gonna go straight |
| 56s | into some more elimination matches today |
| 58s | uh the first set of matches are all |
| 60s | going to be elimination one so if these |
| 62s | teams lose they are out they get nothing |
| 64s | these teams have not won a match yet |
| 66s | today so no skins for them either so |
| 68s | they're really fighting for pride and |
| 70s | skins at this point of course if they're |
| 71s | giving a deep losers bracket run then |
| 73s | that would be a great Cinderella story |
| 75s | and we look forward to seeing something |
| 77s | like that |
| 77s | can one of these teams do it who knows |
| 79s | the first teams to hit that Gauntlet are |
| 81s | going to be a brave Collective versus |
| 83s | white squall so let's take a quick look |
| 85s | at the bands for this match |
| 89s | okay so white squall here Banning out |
| 90s | the Armageddon Navy issue The Sentinel |
| 93s | the arbitrator and the celestis brave |
| 95s | going for the Blackbird The Sentinel the |
| 97s | carries and the slept here of course |
| 99s | dual Sentinel bands means we get trickle |
| 101s | bands so white Squad batting out the |
| 103s | curse and brave Collective Banning out |
| 105s | the hyena moderator what do you think |
| 107s | about these bands here |
| 108s | yeah we're seeing once again that the |
| 110s | only tracking disruption ship still in |
| 112s | it is the pilgrim brought to great |
| 114s | effect yesterday but otherwise we're |
| 116s | also seeing again that get a Navy Band |
| 119s | that some team teams have chosen to |
| 121s | bring to Flagship very effective in |
| 122s | heavy armor slept near tends to get away |
| 124s | from these kite comps but also from you |
| 127s | know Minotaur Rush where you can use |
| 129s | that as kind of like a Nighthawk |
| 131s | substitute and some dance getting banned |
| 133s | out so uh teams having to go for either |
| 137s | the uh lucchesis and committing to more |
| 140s | points with that or getting the tech one |
| 142s | malice it's very easy and weak to kill |
| 145s | Bart what do you think of this as well |
| 146s | so obviously all the weapon disruption |
| 148s | is banned apart from the infamous |
| 149s | Pilgrim which we saw used to good effect |
| 151s | yesterday |
| 152s | um and that hyena is that trickle band |
| 154s | that seems like quite a high skill |
| 155s | targeted ship to ban out there it is a |
| 157s | really high skill targeted ship but uh |
| 159s | Brave Collective is actually got a |
| 161s | pretty solid tournament pedigree at this |
| 163s | point so they kind of generally know |
| 165s | what they're doing to a degree um I do |
| 167s | think that at least on the white squall |
| 169s | side uh so we were talking about it a |
| 172s | little bit right before we started the |
| 173s | broadcast they're apparently like a very |
| 174s | new group with like actual legit newbies |
| 177s | on it and I think that they did a really |
| 179s | good just sort of spread of bands to |
| 181s | kind of take away some of the key ships |
| 182s | so |
| 183s | good band strategy considering it's like |
| 185s | what their first at with a bunch of |
| 187s | newer players yeah we always like to see |
| 189s | you teams competing in the alliance term |
| 191s | and with the feeder system that we have |
| 192s | now it's never been easier so those |
| 194s | teams can compete on Thunderdome which |
| 197s | is a completely separate service server |
| 199s | from Tranquility |
| 201s | um it's basically the points are made up |
| 202s | like nothing matters on Thunderdome so |
| 204s | you don't lose any real isk but you get |
| 206s | to compete in tournaments and have fun |
| 208s | and if you do well enough to get through |
| 209s | into the main tournament hey now you |
| 211s | potentially can win uh skins you could |
| 213s | win Pride you can get your name out |
| 215s | there maybe if you get uh if you get |
| 216s | pretty lucky and maybe you're better |
| 218s | than you think you end up winning some |
| 219s | cool ships so always good to see new |
| 221s | teams kind of breaking onto the scene so |
| 223s | uh kind of rooting for white squall here |
| 225s | a little bit uh Brave Collective uh one |
| 227s | of our Casters in this next match |
| 229s | actually fervina on the brave Collective |
| 231s | team uh he's been telling us for months |
| 234s | how good the brave Collective team is uh |
| 237s | he was expecting them to make a super |
| 238s | Deep Run uh always super positive about |
| 240s | Brave Collective uh what are you |
| 242s | thinking about this matchup yes is two |
| 244s | one very experienced team one can a new |
| 245s | team Bart what do you think uh I mean |
| 247s | you would go for the brave team at this |
| 249s | point just like using your history and |
| 252s | knowledge and all that but like I'm on |
| 253s | your side here I want white squall to |
| 255s | win because they're the new guys and new |
| 257s | people winning is Awesome Dark Horse |
| 259s | runs are awesome uh it's way more |
| 261s | exciting to watch like some group like |
| 263s | that do their first run and then go |
| 264s | deeper uh it sucks that they're already |
| 266s | in an elimination match so I'm really |
| 268s | hoping for white squall but we'll see |
| 269s | what happens yeah well it's time to go |
| 271s | to the match uh so brave are actually |
| 272s | breaking their Flagship Armageddon Navy |
| 274s | issue so let's head over to this match |
| 276s | with uh fear Vina and the Basilisk |
| 282s | welcome to the arena everybody for the |
| 284s | first match of the day Brave Collective |
| 286s | versus white school |
| 288s | um and we're seeing much like yesterday |
| 289s | we saw many of these gun spam comps |
| 291s | coming out proving quite successful and |
| 293s | uh white squall of opted to go for that |
| 294s | why don't you talk us through your own |
| 295s | team Brave Collective fear what have |
| 297s | they got uh heavy armor it's uh not |
| 300s | necessarily gun span although there are |
| 301s | a couple of the ships that we uh |
| 303s | associate with gun span comps such as |
| 304s | the uh Absolution but they've gotten at |
| 306s | Batten and their Flagship Navy |
| 308s | Armageddon uh we'll see how they go with |
| 310s | this I believe this is a Dun Navy and |
| 312s | not a rapid heavy gun Navy so a little |
| 315s | bit different than the ones that we've |
| 316s | been seeing so far a lot of teams have |
| 318s | been opting for the rapid Heavies |
| 320s | um but I'm excited to see how this works |
| 321s | out I think the new pressure from the |
| 322s | Army Navy issue could be a little bit |
| 325s | difficult for what's cool to deal with |
| 327s | but they do have quite a bit of power to |
| 328s | punch through the brave Collective low |
| 330s | ends the match was about to start let's |
| 331s | see how it goes yeah the new pressure |
| 333s | from the Armageddon Navy and also coming |
| 335s | in from the new Mala as well in the low |
| 336s | end that that gunspan comb they're up |
| 338s | against is going to be struggling for |
| 339s | capacitor at the end of the match here |
| 341s | although I mean Brave on exactly uh rich |
| 343s | on that front either with the ibadan and |
| 345s | the ABS are also being very very hungry |
| 346s | boats on that front and immediately |
| 347s | pressure is built into Ali Aras in the |
| 349s | ineros |
| 350s | yeah just got pencil on them right now |
| 352s | now we're trying to cut away pick up |
| 354s | transversal up against these medium guns |
| 356s | as they burn in they're gonna go for the |
| 358s | full DPS hard commit from white squall |
| 360s | haven't quite gone under the Navy |
| 362s | Armageddon yet they want to kill the |
| 363s | scenarios first but uh there are rep |
| 365s | drones going out onto Ali eras at the |
| 367s | moment so they're going to live for a |
| 368s | little bit longer but this gun span DPS |
| 370s | is very very strong and brave haven't |
| 372s | been able to trade anything back on to |
| 373s | white squall quite yet they're under the |
| 375s | harpinger now though she's very very |
| 377s | false and she's trying to run away but |
| 378s | she hasn't got much transversal here |
| 380s | it's an mwdrl so I don't know if it's if |
| 382s | it's dual prop but if she hits the mwd |
| 383s | and then doesn't pick up that sideways |
| 385s | velocity so they're still hitting that |
| 387s | very large Target she's into low |
| 388s | structure here |
| 391s | they're up against Ro Diva reps uh which |
| 394s | get better and better over time but if |
| 396s | that's not as much DPS necessarily as |
| 398s | the white squall comp will see if the |
| 399s | scenaris is able to live it's barely |
| 401s | surviving through there no it goes down |
| 404s | in return I mean damage on the absolute |
| 406s | damage on the Hub damage splitting |
| 408s | though damage splitting this is |
| 410s | that the hob's dying pretty quickly but |
| 413s | if if it if it comes to this in five |
| 414s | minutes time and you look at this and |
| 416s | you think what if we killed the episode |
| 417s | 30 seconds sooner they could regret it |
| 420s | maybe they could but they are able to |
| 422s | kill the harbinger they are trying to |
| 423s | split their Diva reps right now uh it is |
| 426s | a ship that we have seen now twice in |
| 428s | the 80 uh 1-1 match has lost one match |
| 431s | they are under the Navy executor of REM |
| 433s | gadreen right now it is going down |
| 435s | pretty low but now it's getting rid of |
| 437s | reps uh as we can see and the Reps have |
| 439s | actually cycled off of it so brave |
| 441s | they're about halfway through their |
| 442s | abaddin which is uh currently tackled |
| 445s | down do you think I've got one eye in a |
| 447s | lot of trouble right now he has a |
| 448s | significant portion of the DPS from the |
| 450s | brave Collective side but this Navy |
| 451s | exact uh oh slim jim Tim did he boundary |
| 456s | no no no no he did not boundary and yeah |
| 458s | okay I I correct my brain fart I realize |
| 460s | now why they're splitting damage there's |
| 461s | a ro Diva I hadn't noticed it yeah yeah |
| 463s | that makes perfect sense good job Brave |
| 465s | yeah no I he just got absolutely deleted |
| 468s | so uh good Target switching from Brave |
| 471s | to keep this for Diva down they actually |
| 472s | get ridging in the Navy executor and the |
| 475s | abandoned currently living the win he's |
| 476s | got rep drones on top of umdrick one eye |
| 478s | and navy brutics down under structure as |
| 480s | well he goes down Brave they lose their |
| 482s | Nero so at the start of the match but |
| 483s | they're now pulling this way in their |
| 485s | favor their control bar is still massive |
| 487s | as well as their attack bar the Sabaton |
| 489s | staying alive for so long right now this |
| 491s | full commit not working from the side of |
| 494s | white squall this is the Kate of Hillary |
| 496s | Canal is about to go down yeah this has |
| 498s | been really well executed by Brave |
| 499s | actually um I mean |
| 501s | they've made the road either not know |
| 503s | where to look where does he need to put |
| 504s | his reps there's six different things |
| 506s | taking damage I mean you want to save |
| 507s | the battle Cruisers right but they're |
| 509s | all they're all getting chunked what you |
| 510s | need to spill on someone who are you |
| 511s | going to pick to live here |
| 513s | right now because he's full neutered out |
| 515s | by the Navy Armageddon another Navy we |
| 518s | have not seen this plan for so long |
| 519s | they've collapsed |
| 522s | the brave Collective I mean showing some |
| 525s | of that I've experienced this is a cop |
| 526s | that uh I don't think a lot of people |
| 529s | necessarily were thinking about because |
| 531s | heavy armor uh we've been seeing a lot |
| 534s | of gun spam in uh the theaters actually |
| 538s | beat heavy armor comps so this time |
| 540s | around Brave taking a heavy armor comp |
| 542s | and actually beating the gun spam comp |
| 544s | uh They're Gonna Keep Their about in the |
| 546s | live DJ one eye stays alive and uh they |
| 549s | only lose their neros for it uh I'm |
| 551s | interested to think uh what white |
| 553s | squall's idea was they over committed on |
| 556s | to the ineros as Brave just kind of shot |
| 558s | what they could and uh ended up killing |
| 561s | everybody before the ineros go down |
| 563s | yeah I think if you if you're going to |
| 565s | run a redeemer in this gun spam comp you |
| 567s | need to it's it makes it a lot more |
| 569s | tricky you've got that extra aspect to |
| 570s | manage right of of the spool reps |
| 572s | whereas if you ran I think an all girl |
| 574s | um or if you spent a few less points and |
| 575s | got a nearest on the other side I mean |
| 577s | it |
| 579s | they were they were forced to putting |
| 581s | damage onto Alias which I think was the |
| 582s | good play I think killing the nearest |
| 583s | off the start with your gun span is the |
| 584s | right decision it's going to take too |
| 585s | long to burn through the battleships |
| 586s | under reps but I mean I can't think if |
| 589s | they had an owneros of their own they |
| 590s | might have been able to keep everything |
| 591s | alive more effectively rather than |
| 592s | relying on the small mechanic and |
| 594s | everything basically dying apart from |
| 596s | one target |
| 597s | yeah a bit unfortunate for white squall |
| 599s | their first time in the at they're going |
| 600s | to get knocked out O2 but making it |
| 603s | through theaters is no |
| 605s | regardless they will get 10 sets of |
| 607s | skins for their troubles but Brave |
| 610s | Collective are going to move on go |
| 612s | against the loser of boundary experts |
| 615s | versus Odin's call uh and this redeem is |
| 618s | about to go down ah great first match to |
| 620s | start the day yeah for sure and I'm |
| 622s | really looking forward to that one as |
| 623s | well just all I mean so many matches |
| 624s | today absolutely brilliant boundary |
| 626s | experts I wouldn't call somebody is |
| 628s | um you know the first day it's a little |
| 630s | bit of a dud you know you might see some |
| 631s | some uh some milk toast Shield rushes |
| 634s | and this that and the other but |
| 636s | um yesterday was brilliant and we've |
| 637s | already got some absolutely Banger |
| 638s | elimination matches coming up today the |
| 640s | bracket has blessed us |
| 642s | it really has uh looking forward in the |
| 644s | day obviously plug and play versus 10 |
| 646s | plus calcif next match Wingnut and Jim |
| 648s | uh are gonna be commenting that this is |
| 650s | all uh the next |
| 653s | six five matches are all gonna be |
| 655s | elimination matches so plug and play |
| 656s | versus 10 plus calcif until Doomsday |
| 658s | versus bright side of death Dark Side |
| 660s | versus Rusty hyenas Road Capel versus |
| 662s | Exodus and then we're back into the |
| 663s | upper bracket starting with truth honor |
| 665s | light versus barcode we've got an |
| 667s | exciting day ahead of us some uh |
| 668s | exciting matches I'm especially looking |
| 670s | forward to the second round of |
| 671s | elimination matches because those are |
| 673s | the matches that determine who gets top |
| 675s | 16 and who gets prize ships uh |
| 678s | unfortunately for white squall they will |
| 681s | not be able to do that this year but as |
| 682s | I said they still want some skins for |
| 684s | their feeders Victory so they can be |
| 686s | pretty happy about that one as they're |
| 688s | Mauler very tanky little ship is going |
| 691s | down fairly quickly |
| 694s | oh they're trying to Edge of Glory the |
| 696s | uh the Mahler right now I think |
| 700s | uh Brave is giving them the the |
| 702s | opportunity to do it they're taking off |
| 703s | the Newton Webb oh okay |
| 706s | all right fair enough okay let's see how |
| 707s | this goes |
| 710s | all right |
| 712s | drum roll please right on the mjd beacon |
| 714s | come on |
| 717s | uh |
| 720s | actually no he's nowhere near the MGD |
| 722s | bigger oh come on oh dear come on it's a |
| 726s | mallard it's gonna take six years to get |
| 727s | over there come on oh I mean Edge of |
| 730s | Glory is still a fun way down to match |
| 731s | he's not even going but like the reason |
| 734s | they're doing this is because uh white |
| 736s | squall asked to let him jump Beacon so |
| 738s | he had no problem it's 242 it's going to |
| 741s | take him ages to get there |
| 742s | look at him go I'm not sure uh maybe |
| 745s | he's a b foot maybe why is he doing this |
| 748s | to us fear he's punishing us but you he |
| 751s | loves to Brave and now he's punishing |
| 753s | the brave caster and I'm collateral |
| 754s | damage here I mean look this guy is this |
| 756s | guy's doing 242 meters a second and he's |
| 758s | got at least 30 kilometers to cover uh |
| 760s | there's the mwd there it is I think he |
| 763s | was just out of I think the newts were |
| 764s | just too strong because of the Navy |
| 766s | getting |
| 767s | uh and the baller |
| 769s | so finally gets his cat back up now he's |
| 772s | picking out now he's we can we can do |
| 773s | this on 10 seconds he's going to be |
| 774s | there yeah just so that we're clear this |
| 777s | is not BM by brave white squall asked |
| 779s | for this uh I just want to be very clear |
| 781s | about this white skull asked for to let |
| 784s | uh the Mueller go for the Edge of Glory |
| 785s | just kind of they're a new team they |
| 787s | want to try something uh New Edge of |
| 789s | Glory is kind of a time-honor tradition |
| 791s | uh in the at so we'll see how far he |
| 794s | goes yeah dying to the boundary is not |
| 796s | something that um you get to do |
| 798s | particularly often once a year usually |
| 800s | um twice a year if you're lucky |
| 802s | well twice a year for Casper |
| 805s | oh no he actually ended up turning |
| 806s | around wait he turned around I think he |
| 809s | misactivated |
| 813s | now he didn't actually activate the |
| 814s | beacon come on you know he's got the |
| 816s | thing on him it's got the the orange |
| 817s | thingy this is he's jumping yeah he's |
| 819s | done within the within the arena come on |
| 821s | get it on with |
| 823s | oh that's unfortunate |
| 826s | I mean you overshoot the beacon this is |
| 829s | when you hit approach you have to do you |
| 831s | uh you have to uh double click in space |
| 834s | past the beacon and then activate it as |
| 835s | you're going there we go there we go uh |
| 837s | ends up getting sniped and that's the |
| 839s | end of the match we're gonna send it |
| 840s | back to a break and when we return plug |
| 843s | and play versus teles calcif |
| 846s | laughs |
| 861s | [Music] |
| 864s | [Applause] |
| 870s | [Music] |
| 885s | [Music] |
| 886s | [Applause] |
| 887s | [Music] |
| 890s | [Applause] |
| 894s | [Music] |
| 900s | guys stop being casual they're really |
| 903s | bad we should not lose anybody to this |
| 905s | warp off take the fleet warp everybody |
| 907s | warp off this is a really really bad |
| 909s | execution I'm very disappointed |
| 914s | Ray and are you in the armor Vagabond or |
| 917s | something no um I've got Axel ISP |
| 922s | and polarized guns or what |
| 930s | we say goodbye to white squall as they |
| 933s | could could not quite peel it off |
| 935s | against Brave Collective there in |
| 937s | actually an extremely exciting match uh |
| 939s | we saw them just dunk on that oneros |
| 941s | right at the start and I I was thinking |
| 943s | hey this might actually happen for for |
| 945s | the new Bros here like they they great |
| 948s | execution at the start uh we saw the |
| 950s | diva of white Squad doing great job |
| 952s | swapping these reps around keeping the |
| 954s | rest of his team alive well they just |
| 955s | worked on that on Heroes uh the brave |
| 957s | team were quite slow getting the red |
| 959s | bots on top of that deniros they were |
| 961s | not able to save it uh but then it just |
| 963s | started to kind of fall apart and Bart |
| 965s | we were talking uh maybe the target |
| 967s | calling going for that a bad next after |
| 969s | the nearest what do you think about that |
| 971s | I think uh sometimes that's the correct |
| 973s | Choice |
| 974s | um but I believe that like right off the |
| 976s | bat when you first hit in a baton you |
| 978s | need to check and see how fast it's |
| 979s | dropping and that one was going really |
| 981s | slow so brave clearly had a lot of tank |
| 982s | on that about in this time which sort of |
| 986s | just it wasn't they weren't able to |
| 987s | bring it down I think if they had gone |
| 988s | after like the pawn effects maybe why |
| 990s | out some T3 destroyers and then maybe |
| 992s | even the Absolution absolutions are very |
| 994s | very tanky ships but most teams in the |
| 995s | alliance tournament uh they look at the |
| 997s | python damage of an Absolution and |
| 999s | they're like wow if I load up conflag |
| 1001s | and put three heat sinks on this it does |
| 1002s | like 1200 DPS so they always do that and |
| 1005s | they're actually way squishier uh but |
| 1007s | like it's you know you're a new team |
| 1009s | like you're not gonna maybe necessarily |
| 1011s | know this like I bet you that they've |
| 1013s | never had this moment of like oh we have |
| 1016s | this exact situation happening because |
| 1017s | it's their like third match ever which |
| 1021s | I mean stuff's gonna happen they played |
| 1022s | really well I loved the opener where |
| 1023s | they all just pushed in with and they |
| 1025s | like were ramming in with all their |
| 1026s | medium gunships and chasing that on uh |
| 1028s | the nearest down that was trying to kite |
| 1030s | Away really really well didn't matter |
| 1032s | still got wrecked but hey I mean like |
| 1034s | good job I really hope we see them again |
| 1035s | next year um I think that a little bit |
| 1038s | more experience a little more |
| 1039s | Improvement and they could actually be a |
| 1040s | really good team I do think the uh |
| 1043s | Flagship Armageddon Navy I should |
| 1044s | probably helped Brave their uh kind of |
| 1046s | you know claw uh the victory back from |
| 1048s | the Joseph's defeat after the Los neros |
| 1050s | the long range bonus energy neutralizers |
| 1053s | were clearly doing work to that Redeemer |
| 1055s | we saw the Reps going on and off on and |
| 1056s | off and the range bonus there mod do you |
| 1059s | think uh if Brave had maybe not brought |
| 1061s | that Flagship do you think this could |
| 1062s | have been a little bit different yeah I |
| 1064s | think we saw that one of the Bands |
| 1066s | actually was a Navy getting in that |
| 1068s | match and then Brave said ah clearly you |
| 1070s | don't want to deal with this and they |
| 1072s | were prepared to you know counter a lot |
| 1074s | of these kind of mid-range turret ships |
| 1077s | and you know being able to shut down the |
| 1080s | capacitor which is pretty week on a lot |
| 1082s | of these you know like Attack One logic |
| 1084s | like a radiva or you know like a command |
| 1087s | ship they just don't have that much |
| 1088s | capacitor if you can shut them down with |
| 1090s | a kind of a bonus uh Newt it's gonna |
| 1093s | hurt a lot and clearly that played very |
| 1094s | very well for brave and ultimately they |
| 1096s | got the win because of it yeah we saw |
| 1098s | another difference perhaps in sort of |
| 1100s | tournament experience there at both |
| 1102s | sides bringing a Muller it looked like |
| 1104s | Dutch Gunner on the brave side with a |
| 1105s | full mute Muller uh got right on top of |
| 1108s | the white squall Muller which was a gun |
| 1109s | Mauler and was able to just lock him |
| 1111s | down and I'll stick him out the field |
| 1112s | but like is it common to bring a philute |
| 1115s | Muller in these these kind of matches I |
| 1117s | mean it is it's uh something that we see |
| 1119s | a lot um at the end of the day of Mahler |
| 1121s | like they're very tanky ships they used |
| 1123s | to be the bait sign it was back in yield |
| 1125s | in days of being able to do that they |
| 1127s | don't really do that much damage you can |
| 1130s | turn it into like oh yeah I can maybe |
| 1131s | get like two or 250 DPS out of one but |
| 1134s | it's better to just like put the entire |
| 1136s | rack with it uh you know medium notes on |
| 1138s | it uh maybe even like one or two small |
| 1139s | newts to mess with frigates and then |
| 1141s | just kind of RAM and Tackle something |
| 1142s | new to down and you have like a little |
| 1145s | tiny miniature version of an Armageddon |
| 1147s | at that point um |
| 1149s | they're it's kind of a common thing you |
| 1150s | see that with vectors A lot too I think |
| 1152s | we saw uh probably a newt Vector as well |
| 1154s | you have to kind of sit there and think |
| 1155s | is it worth bringing 200 more DPS when I |
| 1157s | could bring this much Newt power for a |
| 1160s | extremely cheap very hard to kill ship |
| 1162s | yeah because once you get on top of |
| 1163s | something it's very hard to shake it |
| 1165s | unless you want to spend all that time |
| 1166s | and effort killing a Muller which you |
| 1168s | know famously one of the harder to kill |
| 1170s | uh Cruisers especially under reps but I |
| 1173s | mean Brave loss there so potentially it |
| 1175s | could have been removed earlier but you |
| 1176s | know we saw white squall go for that |
| 1178s | abandon in this instance it didn't work |
| 1179s | out for them but like I said fantastic |
| 1181s | effort from white squall I genuinely |
| 1184s | thought it was going to start swinging |
| 1185s | their way and I'm sure brave got a |
| 1187s | little bit nervous I heard the fear |
| 1188s | start to creep into fear's voice as he |
| 1191s | was casting that as he saw his aniros go |
| 1193s | down right at the start so certainly an |
| 1195s | exciting match and of course uh tried to |
| 1197s | go for the edge Glory kind of messed |
| 1199s | that one up buddy uh you know better |
| 1201s | luck next time maybe practice that one |
| 1202s | uh in slow time uh he just jumped around |
| 1205s | an arena but it looks like it was fun I |
| 1208s | hope you had fun one foreign I hope you |
| 1210s | we hope we see you another time all |
| 1212s | right our next match is also an |
| 1213s | elimination match and this one I'm |
| 1215s | looking forward to because this one |
| 1216s | should be spicy so we have 10 plus |
| 1218s | calcif versus Plug and Play both |
| 1220s | experienced teams templates of course |
| 1222s | won the alliance open uh did pretty |
| 1224s | decently and a couple of Alliance |
| 1225s | tournaments but they've kind of |
| 1226s | struggled to actually make it really |
| 1229s | deep and if they go O2 in live stream 19 |
| 1231s | maybe the dream for templates is |
| 1233s | starting to die off plug and plane that |
| 1235s | are hand Captain by radicals a lot of |
| 1236s | experienced tournament pilots in this |
| 1238s | team gentan there as well |
| 1240s | um you know they're looking to make a |
| 1241s | mark and neither of these teams were |
| 1243s | expected to go on to but one of them |
| 1245s | will plug and play here Banning out the |
| 1247s | curse the laquisis the Loki and the |
| 1249s | Talia templates saying we didn't see |
| 1252s | your Talia band because these are blind |
| 1253s | but we're also going to ban out the |
| 1254s | Deacon the hyena the guardian and the |
| 1256s | oniro so both Tech 2 Logistics Cruisers |
| 1259s | banned here both armor Tech 2 logistic |
| 1262s | frigates band here uh moderator what do |
| 1265s | you think |
| 1265s | yeah I mean if you want to go armor |
| 1267s | Logie the only real options you have |
| 1269s | left are going to be the zarms ad if you |
| 1271s | want T2 |
| 1273s | um teams have kind of opted not to bring |
| 1275s | that a lot but we also see |
| 1277s | um you know the really heavy damp and uh |
| 1279s | guidance disruption in the laces and the |
| 1282s | curse I don't feel super great about the |
| 1284s | leukisas band but the curse has been a |
| 1286s | staple so far of the tournament thus far |
| 1289s | Loki kind of hits at some of the |
| 1292s | um you know heavy assault missile rushes |
| 1294s | that we've seen it's frequently used you |
| 1296s | know to web down ships so that you can |
| 1298s | close range and get on top there hyena |
| 1300s | the other kind of webbing ship so both |
| 1303s | teams actually taking a fairly similar |
| 1305s | approach to their band strategy but kind |
| 1307s | of almost covering |
| 1309s | um and meshing in with each other on |
| 1310s | that band |
| 1311s | yeah I'm very interested to see this |
| 1313s | plays out um we're certainly noticing |
| 1315s | that as the tournament progresses we're |
| 1317s | only on day two of four and at the start |
| 1319s | of day two as well so we're probably |
| 1320s | getting kind of early here but it's |
| 1322s | starting to seem like |
| 1323s | armor is really the the matter of choice |
| 1326s | uh way more teams seem at least from |
| 1328s | what I can tell to be bringing armor |
| 1330s | armor ships are way more commonly banned |
| 1332s | especially armed Logistics ships bar any |
| 1334s | thoughts on this developing meta I think |
| 1336s | that it's with the rule set that we have |
| 1338s | it was sort of uh almost a given because |
| 1340s | Shield really wasn't that great last |
| 1343s | tournament either and this time like so |
| 1345s | some of the glente point ships are |
| 1347s | underpointed galente generally is armor |
| 1349s | tanked in the alliance tournament um |
| 1350s | we'll sometimes you see some weird stuff |
| 1352s | like I think you'll see like Shield |
| 1353s | executive Navy issues but we haven't |
| 1356s | seen that yet so ignore that |
| 1358s | um but without being able to uh fit |
| 1361s | things like guidance disruptors and |
| 1363s | tracking disruptors on your jackdaws or |
| 1367s | you know ignoring the tuskers craziness |
| 1370s | that they were doing last year it does |
| 1371s | make it a lot harder to do some of these |
| 1373s | Shield setups because a lot of times the |
| 1374s | shield setups are about mobility and |
| 1376s | avoiding damage and you can't really |
| 1379s | avoid medium rail gun damage like the |
| 1381s | range is so far the projection so high |
| 1384s | medium you know pulse lasers Scorch is |
| 1386s | good medium beam lasers are good so not |
| 1389s | being able to fit just a crap ton of |
| 1391s | tracking disruptors on your Shield ships |
| 1393s | with all those free mid slots kinda |
| 1395s | makes it a little more rough to play we |
| 1397s | have seen some Shield rushes which with |
| 1399s | the amount of lodgy that's banned out on |
| 1401s | this I feel like somebody probably will |
| 1402s | try to Shield rush but the shield rushes |
| 1405s | have been a mixed bag some of them have |
| 1407s | done really good and some of them have |
| 1408s | fed horribly |
| 1410s | yeah it looks like a plug and play |
| 1411s | deciding to go all in here we're going |
| 1413s | to bring their Flagship bar guest uh of |
| 1415s | course moderator are very flexible |
| 1417s | Flagship could easily be armor or Shield |
| 1419s | so this really doesn't tell us much |
| 1420s | about what to expect and uh what do you |
| 1423s | think we might see yeah I mean I feel |
| 1425s | like with all the armor that's banned |
| 1427s | out uh we're probably gonna see some |
| 1429s | sort of a shield bar guest one of the |
| 1431s | benefits of seeing kind of that flag bar |
| 1433s | guest of course is that you're allowed |
| 1435s | to put you know kind of The Shield |
| 1438s | booster instead of being you know Tech |
| 1440s | Two you can go for a next type and what |
| 1443s | that does is you can use that with its |
| 1445s | gram to basically say hey I'm gonna tank |
| 1448s | a lot of damage I'm gonna keep you away |
| 1450s | from me and you know you're in the lower |
| 1452s | bracket against both teams here being |
| 1454s | very very good if there's ever a time to |
| 1457s | go all in and say I need to bring my |
| 1458s | Flagship it's right here and right now |
| 1460s | exactly so this is basically it for |
| 1463s | these teams as we said elimination match |
| 1465s | it's win or go home uh you know winner |
| 1468s | stays on essentially which was the motto |
| 1470s | for the feeder rounds and who will win |
| 1472s | who will stay on we'll find out as we go |
| 1474s | to Plug and Play versus templas calcif |
| 1476s | with our casters Wagner cross and Yin |
| 1478s | tan |
| 1482s | hello everyone and welcome to the arena |
| 1484s | I'm Yin tan joined by Wingnut cross and |
| 1487s | we're here to watch Plug and Play go up |
| 1488s | against Templars calcif and plug and |
| 1491s | play for this game have brought |
| 1492s | something we don't often see in the |
| 1493s | alliance tournament anymore and that is |
| 1495s | a tinker set up here with three |
| 1497s | battleships that are going to be feeding |
| 1498s | each other capacitor to try and create |
| 1500s | the most powerful local tank that they |
| 1502s | possibly can whilst sacrificing their |
| 1504s | low end to the wind and what have the |
| 1506s | seventh place from the last Alliance |
| 1507s | tournament team temples calcif brought |
| 1509s | here Wingnut well they have brought and |
| 1511s | also a very top heavy comp they've |
| 1512s | brought twin lashack armor Rush slash |
| 1514s | control comp I like how both teams just |
| 1516s | deciding that support wings are entirely |
| 1518s | overrated it's all about the big boys |
| 1520s | and this is going to be a lot of control |
| 1522s | from templates and a lot of damage when |
| 1524s | they get up close it's gonna be a big |
| 1525s | question can plug and play hold on after |
| 1528s | these little Shacks start hitting them |
| 1530s | and I think your answer to that is going |
| 1532s | to be on almost certainly not so these |
| 1535s | frigates need to sacrifice their lives |
| 1536s | for as much time as possible you see the |
| 1539s | Condor the Merlin the sky breaker all |
| 1541s | little two-point ships and they need to |
| 1543s | make the most out of every single second |
| 1545s | of their life try and give those |
| 1547s | battleships just a little bit more time |
| 1548s | outside of occult ramp range and |
| 1551s | meanwhile they're gonna have to kill |
| 1552s | that zamas to pretty much instantly and |
| 1554s | yet here we see damage getting spread |
| 1557s | all across the low end actually out |
| 1559s | there that's really unusual what do you |
| 1560s | think they're trying to do here to uh |
| 1562s | Wing that |
| 1563s | might be the stormbringer to decide to |
| 1566s | hit everyone and their mother in the |
| 1567s | vicinity oh wow Millions gets deleted I |
| 1569s | suspect that probably is the heretic |
| 1570s | light missiles there this is gonna be |
| 1572s | very interesting to see no tackle at the |
| 1574s | moment is getting burning in for free |
| 1575s | there's nothing stopping them where's |
| 1577s | what's where's the condo he's at the |
| 1579s | back okay with the stormbringer he's |
| 1581s | still sitting in the middle then he's |
| 1582s | gonna let these little Shacks get at |
| 1583s | zero |
| 1584s | yeah they haven't got weapon that's arm |
| 1586s | as yet just a single paint from that |
| 1588s | Golem and it's not going to be enough to |
| 1590s | let those cruises apply you can see how |
| 1592s | little damage they're really doing here |
| 1594s | instead focusing down on their Center |
| 1595s | knows all of this control just needs to |
| 1597s | be concentrated on 3.5 Targets this is |
| 1601s | horrifying for plug and play this is |
| 1603s | just what you don't want to run into |
| 1605s | when you bring something like a tinker |
| 1608s | I'll be seeing ships like the heretic |
| 1610s | which is honestly kind of an old 80 Derm |
| 1612s | Kingpin for the Destroyer ships this guy |
| 1614s | with this uh right with his light pills |
| 1616s | and Rockets can do a lot of damage to |
| 1617s | any Target he decides to and you can see |
| 1619s | just the support when he's got |
| 1620s | obliterated the center is slowly being |
| 1622s | taken down by his first team which might |
| 1624s | maybe allow these battleships to do more |
| 1626s | damage but |
| 1627s | I'm not looking forward to what's going |
| 1629s | to happen when these little Shacks start |
| 1630s | speeding up |
| 1631s | yeah you can see they're finally |
| 1633s | starting to chip away just a little bit |
| 1634s | there's our Mass but it's not even |
| 1636s | firing its local tank at this actually |
| 1637s | hold on shooting the sky breaker |
| 1641s | yeah I'm sure |
| 1646s | I guess I get killed I |
| 1649s | can't stand there |
| 1650s | watching a sky breaker with your Twitter |
| 1652s | Shack Com when you stay next to a tinker |
| 1654s | comp okay you went down what are we |
| 1656s | going for next |
| 1657s | look it's still in the Tsar Mast so |
| 1659s | we're there's actually some appreciable |
| 1660s | damage now finally getting to apply to |
| 1662s | it that that is very unusual it doesn't |
| 1665s | look like any tackle is being applied to |
| 1667s | it still and they don't really have any |
| 1668s | options to do that now with the ships |
| 1670s | left on grid but this arm Mast is |
| 1672s | getting slowly chipped away it's getting |
| 1674s | muted uh somehow it's just wandered into |
| 1676s | new range for completely no reason it |
| 1679s | has no reason to do that |
| 1681s | maybe there's an opportunity here it has |
| 1685s | been decided by templates that they do |
| 1686s | not like pancakes and that is their |
| 1688s | first Target now this bogus will tank at |
| 1689s | the start he will definitely tank at the |
| 1691s | start but you're gonna watch that stuff |
| 1692s | worse and worse oh no right across |
| 1695s | there's no slash ship cloak here friend |
| 1699s | did the watch that his shield |
| 1702s | just plummet remarkably quickly as long |
| 1704s | as it's very very expensive for our |
| 1706s | guest people I didn't want to mention it |
| 1708s | up until now but that there is a lot of |
| 1709s | money in that Hull uh we're competing |
| 1711s | with all of Eve on lines you know level |
| 1714s | four players wealth to try and get all |
| 1716s | the officer cruises that we wanted to |
| 1718s | put on this bar guest an incursion fees |
| 1722s | they're going for a little Shack now I |
| 1724s | guess maybe they're thinking they could |
| 1725s | have uh forced the tsarmad to kind of be |
| 1727s | out of range potentially out of use but |
| 1729s | I don't think they're gonna kill a shack |
| 1731s | before their flag bar goes down so this |
| 1733s | is not really going to work for them I |
| 1735s | must be keeping an eye see if they're |
| 1736s | trying to bump these ships I don't know |
| 1737s | why they're shaping the thing with the |
| 1739s | highest tank first |
| 1745s | I mean you're not gonna you're not gonna |
| 1746s | be able to break a shack with all the |
| 1748s | Reps on field here though it looks like |
| 1750s | they might be trying you never know |
| 1752s | I mean I get trying if the zombie |
| 1754s | doesn't go down what else can you do you |
| 1755s | can't shoot the frigates so I guess yeah |
| 1757s | you gotta shoot the Little Shack but |
| 1759s | like what what play do you make here I |
| 1761s | guess you just pray you can maybe shoot |
| 1763s | this arm out again but with the Sentinel |
| 1765s | crucify but they're gonna make that |
| 1766s | tracking just sorry the application |
| 1767s | horrible |
| 1769s | yeah there's no way they can bump off |
| 1771s | these little Shack there's no way they |
| 1772s | can mitigate the damage at all it's just |
| 1774s | a matter of time now until right across |
| 1776s | does go down and from there it will be a |
| 1778s | set of dominoes and uh |
| 1781s | yeah oh this is just gonna be a slow |
| 1784s | slow death here and it's beginning you |
| 1786s | can see look at that shield look at that |
| 1788s | Shield it's starting to just get chunked |
| 1790s | harder the Little Shack is rammed up |
| 1791s | full DPS and that flat shiny bug the |
| 1795s | pancake just can't take it eat this |
| 1797s | pancake's getting cooked |
| 1799s | yeah take sometimes you take a risk you |
| 1801s | try and aim for a match up and your |
| 1804s | opponent does not bring what you |
| 1805s | expected them to |
| 1807s | it's there's a bump from um from uh |
| 1809s | arunia there he actually the scripted |
| 1812s | application against a battleship of all |
| 1813s | things but he does bump the buggiest |
| 1815s | away a little bit which which isn't far |
| 1817s | enough actually I think about it he's |
| 1818s | still close |
| 1819s | it's not going to significantly matter |
| 1822s | now this is just a matter of can they |
| 1824s | kill all the battleships before time's |
| 1825s | up and with five minutes left on the |
| 1827s | clock |
| 1827s | yes yeah the answer is yes this is yeah |
| 1833s | if answers the question Templar says |
| 1835s | just said the answer is yes because |
| 1836s | there is nothing |
| 1837s | to see if we can get the kill now |
| 1841s | ah it's |
| 1844s | heartbreaking to watch like you sort of |
| 1846s | think it's always fun to watch because |
| 1848s | like there basically is an obvious win |
| 1850s | con nobody's lose con here with these |
| 1851s | with these comments it makes them kind |
| 1852s | of fun to watch how teams kind of play |
| 1854s | with that whether you bump the |
| 1855s | battleships away whether you try and |
| 1857s | break through the tank whether you just |
| 1858s | ignore the battleship and kill the |
| 1860s | support wing and just stand and watch |
| 1861s | they're great comes to kind of watch |
| 1863s | engage but unfortunately this is just |
| 1866s | kind of like hey I've brought scissors |
| 1867s | and the other team immediately just |
| 1868s | brought rock and just broke it just |
| 1871s | smashed it |
| 1874s | it's gonna get the kill now |
| 1876s | ah bloody hell all right now there we |
| 1880s | are full rack of Vespers pretty much in |
| 1883s | the highs |
| 1884s | oh wow oh yeah officer damage control oh |
| 1888s | I feel ill |
| 1890s | oh the officer damage control dropped as |
| 1892s | well no |
| 1894s | at least one of the launches |
| 1898s | QA here with the right payday |
| 1901s | oh this is a brutal match to watch |
| 1903s | indeed but playing played as well as |
| 1904s | they could I think they could have been |
| 1905s | a bit more aggressive with tackle like |
| 1907s | the stormbringer's still alive that |
| 1908s | could be a brutal tackle ship when it |
| 1909s | wants to be |
| 1911s | but um I don't know I don't know what |
| 1912s | that thing's fitted with but |
| 1913s | unfortunately just you let Tula Shacks |
| 1915s | get to zero on your tanker and thus you |
| 1917s | die for it there is nothing you can do |
| 1919s | yeah that's just that that's just |
| 1921s | horrific |
| 1922s | um |
| 1926s | well what a tournament going O2 in 10 |
| 1928s | plus survives here |
| 1933s | they're still good they've still got a |
| 1935s | long climb to go through after their |
| 1937s | loss in the first round to hold control |
| 1940s | so are you happy or sad that you're |
| 1941s | currently on the bench |
| 1944s | I'm uh I'm looking into middle distance |
| 1948s | um I'm considering my life choices I'm |
| 1950s | wondering you know where it all went |
| 1953s | wrong |
| 1953s | in what action in my life did I |
| 1956s | displease the powers that be to such an |
| 1958s | extent that this would happen |
| 1961s | you know what what deity have I upset |
| 1963s | through my many many you know sins you |
| 1967s | see somewhere in one of your previous |
| 1968s | lives you were you pissed off a witch I |
| 1970s | think you might step with my favorite |
| 1970s | toad because at that point you've been |
| 1972s | cursed ever since my friend because it's |
| 1973s | not going well |
| 1977s | oh well scope Navy Nighthawk left and |
| 1980s | it's just going to slowly break them |
| 1981s | apart |
| 1982s | there's not even a miracle on this |
| 1984s | planet that could save this and bring |
| 1985s | this back unfortunately |
| 1987s | it's kind of cool see little Shacks come |
| 1989s | back and show that you know why people |
| 1990s | uh can break these Lush out comps the |
| 1993s | British outcome can also just break you |
| 1995s | if you let it if you let it be if you |
| 1997s | let it go to let it come after you it |
| 1998s | will just kill whatever cop you've got |
| 1999s | if it can catch you yeah I gotta say I |
| 2002s | don't really like the double the shack |
| 2003s | comp I think it's way too much points |
| 2005s | invested in your top end and especially |
| 2008s | if you're bringing it with a Tsar Mass |
| 2009s | that's absolutely cooked like a gun |
| 2011s | boxes |
| 2012s | smoke it like you just like |
| 2017s | integrate delete all of your destroyers |
| 2020s | GG we have complete tackle control |
| 2022s | proceed to win match she's very much a |
| 2025s | win on warping uh setup that's for sure |
| 2027s | if you know what you've got and you know |
| 2030s | that if you know what they're bringing |
| 2031s | you can immediately count it with this |
| 2031s | but if you know they're bringing the |
| 2033s | Shacks you can end them immediately as |
| 2035s | you say |
| 2036s | well yeah scope Navy left |
| 2038s | yep yeah it's just a matter of ehp |
| 2041s | getting burnt down probably a few extra |
| 2042s | lasp charges |
| 2044s | Tula Shacks are still you know 6000 DPS |
| 2047s | once they get ramped up so |
| 2050s | I also I do love seeing the heretic bird |
| 2052s | kicking ass today it looks like that |
| 2054s | actually is a rocket heretic which is |
| 2055s | really cool it's a lot of DPS |
| 2058s | yeah |
| 2059s | for everything that you said previously |
| 2061s | about in kind of our warm-ups you were |
| 2063s | talking about how you didn't really |
| 2064s | value The Sentinel I think this is the |
| 2065s | kind of game that shows a shower |
| 2069s | The Sentinel effectively turned off two |
| 2071s | ships in that game and there was no that |
| 2073s | was possible for fire as well hey hey |
| 2074s | hey that was a crazy yeah they turned |
| 2076s | off the other ship |
| 2079s | [Laughter] |
| 2082s | oh no I'm gonna get roasted for that one |
| 2084s | now damn it Jen what have you done to me |
| 2087s | okay I'm leaking I'm leaking the good |
| 2090s | Backstreet banter all right well with |
| 2093s | the scorp maybe going down that is a 40 |
| 2095s | Plug and Play absolutely done their |
| 2097s | goose is cooked and with that we'll get |
| 2098s | back to studio and see what they think |
| 2106s | oh |
| 2108s | foreign |
| 2116s | [Music] |
| 2119s | [Applause] |
| 2126s | [Music] |
| 2146s | okay you guys are are looking at the |
| 2148s | planet |
| 2150s | there's nothing back there for you and I |
| 2153s | see |
| 2154s | full control |
| 2156s | help |
| 2159s | where are you colorize |
| 2162s | something went angry dude they weren't |
| 2163s | angry before kill him |
| 2166s | it's on the clock |
| 2168s | owned by Reds not like this kill the |
| 2171s | rats |
| 2179s | it's dead |
| 2181s | rap meeting they were white a second ago |
| 2184s | and then they just got all Angry |
| 2185s | |
| 2189s | Plug and Play we'll have to unplug and |
| 2191s | go home from the tournament as they are |
| 2193s | eliminated uh from contention by |
| 2195s | templates calcif and a pretty exciting |
| 2197s | match with two Kung Fu's not really |
| 2199s | sitting uh thus far uh Plug and Play |
| 2202s | bringing the pseudo tanker that we saw a |
| 2205s | couple of years ago fielded in the |
| 2206s | finals by Hydra reloaded uh against we |
| 2210s | form Volta but what is a pseudo tanker |
| 2212s | and how does it work so a pseudo Tinker |
| 2215s | is we we call it that because you can't |
| 2216s | actually fly a tinker anymore which used |
| 2218s | to be you know you fly an underman setup |
| 2220s | uh you use a remote rep Tengu and you |
| 2224s | basically capture into the tingu and |
| 2225s | then the tingu will wrap your other |
| 2226s | ships you can't do that anymore because |
| 2228s | you are not allowed to use Tech through |
| 2229s | Logistics |
| 2230s | um so what there kind of is now is a |
| 2232s | pseudotinker which is you're still doing |
| 2234s | cap transfers and then your battleship |
| 2237s | core which in this case you know you |
| 2239s | have three battleships they basically |
| 2241s | run ancillary cap boosters without cap |
| 2243s | charges in which if you've ever done it |
| 2245s | uses up a lot of cap but then you just |
| 2247s | cap transfer to each other so you can |
| 2249s | kind of do it uh pretty much |
| 2251s | indefinitely |
| 2252s | um |
| 2253s | it was used really really well in the |
| 2255s | finals of I believe at 17 where it |
| 2258s | basically appeared in the last uh the |
| 2261s | last best of five there was not really |
| 2263s | any counter for it because people hadn't |
| 2265s | thought about it so it helped Hydra win |
| 2267s | uh we've seen it used a few more times |
| 2269s | in et18 where it didn't do particularly |
| 2271s | great and now we've seen it used once in |
| 2273s | 1819 where it lost ironically with the |
| 2276s | bands of all the armor Logistics |
| 2278s | Cruisers it almost forced templates to |
| 2281s | bring the direct hard counter which is |
| 2283s | azarms at this building reps I mean if |
| 2286s | you're shooting cruise missiles which it |
| 2288s | was a suit anchor will be shooting uh |
| 2290s | you're basically relying on Long |
| 2292s | sustained DPS to to wear things down and |
| 2294s | just the quantity of that DPS |
| 2297s | but if your opponents have a zarmazad |
| 2298s | which wraps at rank ramps up basically |
| 2301s | gets more and more effective at the |
| 2303s | Target you're shooting |
| 2304s | you're kind of kind of screwed there |
| 2308s | yeah and that's something that mod said |
| 2310s | is kind of uh we were looking at it and |
| 2312s | he said that it's entirely possible that |
| 2315s | templates maybe didn't necessarily know |
| 2317s | that's the setup they were bringing but |
| 2318s | they had an idea that's what the setup |
| 2319s | was because templates brought almost |
| 2322s | like the perfect hard counter to that |
| 2323s | setup um generally a double The Shack |
| 2325s | team is not particularly great because |
| 2327s | you're using so many points for two |
| 2329s | ships but against that specific setup |
| 2331s | you have two very tanky sort of ramping |
| 2335s | up to this unreppable amount of damage |
| 2337s | that you can go in and just pick a |
| 2339s | Target and just slowly ramp up and |
| 2340s | destroy it you have his arms ad which as |
| 2342s | you just said is really really good |
| 2343s | against the cruise missiles uh you're |
| 2345s | not going to kill his arms out with |
| 2346s | cruise missiles because the signature is |
| 2347s | so small and it's an armor ship and it's |
| 2349s | got Tech 2 resistant all sorts of other |
| 2351s | stuff you're not going to kill the |
| 2353s | Shacks through his arms out reps and |
| 2355s | they also brought like they looked like |
| 2357s | they had a bunch of guidance disruptors |
| 2358s | on their disruption ships so templates |
| 2361s | kind of like hard countered them in |
| 2363s | three separate ways here which you know |
| 2365s | you said you said that they they might |
| 2366s | have been knowers knowers of yeah it |
| 2369s | felt like just because they ended up |
| 2371s | running |
| 2373s | um that Sentinel and they also had a |
| 2375s | crucifier so they had a total of eight |
| 2377s | points invested but that triple |
| 2379s | Battleship core is 68 points and then |
| 2382s | another 18 for the Nighthawk so you |
| 2385s | basically have like no support |
| 2387s | um on the low end to actually go in and |
| 2389s | try to intercept or deal with that |
| 2391s | Sentinel crucifier and that's one of the |
| 2395s | extreme risks that you run with a pseudo |
| 2397s | Tinker setup like that is well what if |
| 2400s | they just guidance disrupt me at in this |
| 2402s | case uh templates didn't even really |
| 2405s | have to go in once they killed all the |
| 2407s | small ships they had so much guidance |
| 2408s | disruption they could have just stayed |
| 2410s | 70 kilometers away from them the whole |
| 2412s | match and kind of waved and laughed at |
| 2414s | uh the side of Plug and Play because |
| 2416s | even with Precision missiles if your |
| 2419s | guidance disrupted down that hard your |
| 2421s | missiles are going nowhere yeah I mean |
| 2423s | one of the ships that died there uh was |
| 2424s | radicals in his Flagship bar guys let's |
| 2427s | take a look at that kill mail and see |
| 2428s | what the damage was to plug play so here |
| 2431s | we are 17 and a bit billion uh it's a |
| 2434s | pretty sizable loss so far uh looking at |
| 2437s | the actual kill mirror here on uh zekko |
| 2440s | I see the the majority of that coming |
| 2442s | from uh uh highly expensive officer |
| 2445s | damage control uh values around 11 |
| 2447s | billion on its own and we see a mix of |
| 2450s | uh officer Cruz missile launchers uh |
| 2453s | which looks like a couple perhaps |
| 2454s | dropped as well the damage control uh |
| 2456s | depending on what uh templates have I |
| 2459s | think they also have a flagship bar I |
| 2460s | guess they might be able to upgrade |
| 2462s | their own uh Flagship now if they've |
| 2464s | managed to look that if it's better |
| 2465s | fantastic if it's not well that's just |
| 2467s | an extra 10 Bella so they can sell at |
| 2469s | the end of the tournament and be happy |
| 2471s | about so uh thank you radicals for your |
| 2473s | donation I'm sure temples are very |
| 2475s | pleased with that and yeah we'll see you |
| 2477s | uh see you in the next term whenever |
| 2478s | that happens to be all right let's look |
| 2481s | at our next match so it's going to be |
| 2482s | till Doomsday versus bright side of |
| 2483s | death another elimination match uh let's |
| 2485s | take a look at the Bands |
| 2488s | okay so till doomsday uh Banning out the |
| 2491s | British Navy The Harbinger Navy the |
| 2493s | executive Navy and the augura uh price |
| 2497s | of the death burning out oniro's |
| 2498s | Guardian curse and hyena so both Tech |
| 2501s | Two armor Justice Cruisers again tech |
| 2503s | one armor Logistics Cruiser in the auger |
| 2505s | being banned and of course the ewar |
| 2507s | staple that has become uh the curse uh |
| 2511s | black bear Pirates your thoughts here I |
| 2513s | mean you know till doomsday has |
| 2515s | basically banned out three of the key |
| 2517s | ships for a medium gun Max threat pseudo |
| 2520s | dad whatever you want to call it setup |
| 2521s | and by doing that plus the auger uh |
| 2524s | generally when you're running that sort |
| 2526s | of BC and Cruiser medium gun spam setup |
| 2528s | you run in auger because battle Cruisers |
| 2531s | are a significant amount of points so |
| 2532s | until doomsday said hey we don't want to |
| 2534s | see this |
| 2535s | um I you can probably figure out a way |
| 2537s | around it because at the end of the day |
| 2538s | you know you can do some weird stuff |
| 2541s | like maybe bring some ferroxes instead |
| 2542s | but the actual specific setup that we |
| 2545s | have been seeing almost not every match |
| 2547s | but like a significant portion of the |
| 2549s | matches I don't think we will see it |
| 2551s | here uh also bright side of death |
| 2553s | meaning the owners in the guardian I |
| 2554s | mean there's you don't use executors |
| 2556s | they're not good you could use logic |
| 2558s | frigates but we haven't seen logic |
| 2560s | frigates do particularly good this |
| 2561s | tournament so I'm not really I'm not |
| 2563s | expecting to see armor here any any |
| 2565s | thoughts on that moderator about |
| 2567s | logistics freak it's like they've been |
| 2568s | kind of hit or miss some tournaments you |
| 2570s | see quite a lot of them uh especially |
| 2571s | when you could bring like say two |
| 2573s | deacons uh without the point inflation |
| 2574s | now with the decantalia sometimes people |
| 2576s | maybe think twice about it |
| 2578s | um versus these Tech Two Logistics Crews |
| 2580s | or even tech one Logistics Cruisers |
| 2581s | what's your thoughts yeah so a lot of |
| 2583s | the reason that kind of these uh Max |
| 2586s | threat or we call them pseudo dad comps |
| 2588s | don't really run the logistics frigates |
| 2590s | is because the frigates have difficulty |
| 2593s | keeping up with and getting on top of |
| 2596s | the range of these Cruisers the benefit |
| 2598s | of this Cruisers is you can spread out |
| 2600s | you know you don't have to be balled up |
| 2602s | with you can make it so that it's very |
| 2604s | hard to you know catch them all at once |
| 2607s | and the problem is that if you spread |
| 2609s | out in these Cruisers as you're supposed |
| 2610s | to |
| 2611s | well your frigates can't have the rep |
| 2613s | range they're not a Tech 2 Cruiser |
| 2615s | that's got you know 50 to 70 kilometers |
| 2617s | of repair so if you want to commit to |
| 2620s | that well it's like okay I have to now |
| 2622s | bring his arm but the problem with his |
| 2624s | arm is a it's more expensive than a |
| 2626s | guardian owner neros which is already |
| 2628s | very heavy and it takes time to spool up |
| 2631s | and you need snap very quick reps if you |
| 2633s | want to do things with the battle |
| 2635s | cruiser core so uh these frigates tend |
| 2638s | to be better in this kind of heavy armor |
| 2640s | higher Battleship core which has fallen |
| 2643s | a little bit out of favor compared to |
| 2645s | the max threat comp yeah worth noting um |
| 2648s | in the rules you can bring one armor |
| 2651s | sorry one Logistics Cruiser Tech One |
| 2653s | tech two whatever it doesn't doesn't |
| 2654s | really matter are two Logistics frigates |
| 2657s | uh you cannot bring to these cruisers |
| 2659s | for example you could not bring three |
| 2660s | fragrance you can't bring one of each |
| 2661s | that's what the rules say |
| 2663s | um you know you might think hey just |
| 2664s | bring two and irises and just kind of |
| 2666s | wrap each other uh I imagine that would |
| 2668s | be kind of dull as we just watch a bunch |
| 2669s | of videos I'll wrap each other for 10 |
| 2671s | min it's uh but who knows maybe we'll |
| 2673s | see that in some future not one that I'm |
| 2676s | gonna be part of for sure |
| 2678s | um all right let's hand over to uh fear |
| 2680s | of Viner and the Basilisk for till |
| 2682s | Doomsday versus uh death |
| 2686s | foreign |
| 2690s | my name is fear Vana joined by the |
| 2693s | Basilisk and on the red side we have |
| 2697s | till doomsday who have brought a what |
| 2700s | looks to be a shield kite setup with |
| 2702s | navy Scorpion and Nighthawk I'm gonna |
| 2705s | take another look just to make sure I |
| 2708s | think this is a rush so this is you're |
| 2711s | right your microwave Shield brush |
| 2712s | they're in a zero as well I mean that's |
| 2713s | the dead giveaway here this sculpt maybe |
| 2715s | pops up on the beacon when you do that |
| 2717s | you've got to be very confident about it |
| 2719s | I mean you don't want to come up in a |
| 2721s | rush and suddenly you encounter a Russia |
| 2722s | rush and you're Rush is in trouble |
| 2725s | yep so I'm taking a look at the scorp |
| 2727s | maybe just to see what it's got on it |
| 2729s | those are Torpedoes so yeah this is a |
| 2732s | very rushy Rush up against uh blue side |
| 2735s | it is bright side of death |
| 2737s | and they brought Le Shack balgorn |
| 2739s | Redeemer so lots of control lots of |
| 2741s | damage but the attack bar is much larger |
| 2743s | uh for the side of till doomsday and |
| 2746s | they are beginning to rush in uh that |
| 2748s | torp scorp Navy is gonna do a lot of |
| 2750s | damage and they're going on the Redeemer |
| 2751s | first that redeemer is held and he is |
| 2753s | going to die I think that's this is such |
| 2755s | an overwhelming amount of DPS coming in |
| 2757s | from this Shield brush team I mean look |
| 2758s | he's already going down to a third armor |
| 2760s | and that Ball's not even fully |
| 2762s | potentially realized yet they've still |
| 2764s | got a lot more girth left to give |
| 2766s | yeah I mean that control bar is |
| 2768s | absolutely massive they're trying to get |
| 2769s | these newts down running the Navy |
| 2771s | scorpion just turn off his hardeners as |
| 2772s | best as he can but they can't turn off |
| 2774s | the damage because torpedoes do not |
| 2775s | require a cap uh also noted this is an |
| 2778s | onyx so a ham Onyx something that we |
| 2780s | haven't seen basically since I'd like to |
| 2782s | say Alliance open at 17 uh really but |
| 2786s | we're seeing it here the ham hick |
| 2788s | very quickly I'd like to see them do the |
| 2790s | battle going next and they do |
| 2791s | immediately switch the webs onto the |
| 2792s | Battleground I'm just going to try to do |
| 2794s | the same thing here just go straight |
| 2795s | through him and it will just be the |
| 2796s | Little Shack and the support Wing left |
| 2798s | then and that should be a cleanup job |
| 2799s | for you know this fairly extensive mid |
| 2801s | sort of mid-cruiser range that uh till |
| 2804s | doomsday have brought |
| 2806s | yeah this is a very interesting Rush |
| 2808s | setup I don't think we see a scorpion |
| 2810s | Navy a torp scorp Navy uh all that often |
| 2813s | but up against other battleships |
| 2815s | especially triple Battleship tour uh |
| 2817s | core torp battleships do so much damage |
| 2819s | and unlike leshack which eventually does |
| 2821s | more than torps once it's spooled up |
| 2823s | that damage is all instant so as this |
| 2826s | battle Gordon goes down into 35 armor |
| 2828s | remaining they're gonna trade two |
| 2830s | battleships for one because the Scorpion |
| 2832s | Navy once again has that Shield resist |
| 2833s | bonus and then their low ends can deal |
| 2835s | with this little Shack as they please |
| 2836s | absolute Master stroke in uh comp |
| 2839s | selection from till doomsday for this |
| 2842s | match |
| 2843s | yeah I mean if they could if they had |
| 2845s | done maybe been able to screen off stuff |
| 2847s | more at the start Focus their webs more |
| 2848s | quickly but it seemed I mean it's a bit |
| 2851s | of a risk as well from Bright Side of |
| 2853s | death to bring their stuff in so closely |
| 2854s | if you're in a battle going on a |
| 2855s | redeemer |
| 2856s | you should know that you can be |
| 2858s | vulnerable to this kind of approach and |
| 2859s | bringing in your Redeemer at 10 you're |
| 2861s | asking for trouble |
| 2863s | yeah and right onto the shack goes tell |
| 2865s | doomsday they do not care about their |
| 2868s | dead scorpion Navy issue because their |
| 2869s | attack bar is still massive uh the |
| 2872s | entirety of their team does more damage |
| 2874s | than a fully spotless Shack right now is |
| 2877s | what the attack bar is saying and even |
| 2879s | though that control bar is still pretty |
| 2880s | high and there's a lot of local rep |
| 2882s | available on the shack plus they sell |
| 2884s | the decantolia available it is not going |
| 2887s | to be enough to deal with this ham Rush |
| 2889s | till doomsday uh this is a team that |
| 2893s | last year were uh I believe one and two |
| 2897s | they got knocked down in the lower |
| 2899s | bracket by Brave as they were called Big |
| 2901s | yikes then a little bit of history about |
| 2903s | them as well they were part of locals |
| 2906s | primary alongside uh the team that |
| 2908s | became lock Ranger drawers last year now |
| 2910s | White Flag so there's a little bit of |
| 2912s | history between those two teams but they |
| 2914s | split uh following anger games five and |
| 2917s | as we see here they still are a very |
| 2919s | strong team even if they aren't hydrous |
| 2921s | practice Partners like they their |
| 2923s | English-speaking counterparts |
| 2925s | yeah I mean this is a strong performance |
| 2927s | and people have been rating beats up |
| 2929s | pretty highly as well there's always |
| 2930s | talk about you know be still picking up |
| 2932s | some vital remnants they you know they |
| 2934s | turn up every year they put up a solid |
| 2935s | showing they're by no means pushovers |
| 2937s | um but yeah so till doomsday coming in |
| 2939s | and taking this game off them in the in |
| 2941s | the you know the loser bracket where the |
| 2942s | pressure is on is impressive it's a good |
| 2944s | showing |
| 2946s | yeah I'm not even bringing a flagship or |
| 2947s | anything like that and uh the other |
| 2949s | thing is this comp when you see a |
| 2951s | torpedo Battleship typically that signs |
| 2954s | as a Flagship killer comp right |
| 2957s | um this is the number one thing that |
| 2958s | they're designed to do yes it's |
| 2960s | miscellaneous Russian stuff like that |
| 2962s | but it's to kill battleships they |
| 2964s | thought bright side of death was going |
| 2965s | to bring their Flagship in this |
| 2967s | particular instance they did not instead |
| 2970s | they opted for a triple Battleship setup |
| 2972s | with a lot of control not a lot of |
| 2974s | damage outside of the shack and they |
| 2975s | were able to take advantage of that |
| 2976s | regardless because once again torp's |
| 2978s | Corp Navy very tanky and a lot of damage |
| 2980s | yeah it's just a big a big wall of stats |
| 2983s | really just Health damage it doesn't |
| 2984s | really need to move too fast |
| 2986s | um you know it's got reasonable range on |
| 2988s | the torps and it does huge damage you |
| 2989s | don't want to kill it but you mean you |
| 2991s | kind of have to kill it because |
| 2991s | otherwise it's just going to keep |
| 2992s | hitting you |
| 2994s | um so not not really any good choices to |
| 2996s | be made when you find yourself in that |
| 2997s | position with a a Nighthawk and a |
| 3000s | low-key sat 10 kilometers off you when |
| 3001s | you land and they uh they want blood |
| 3005s | yeah uh once again this is a uh I mean |
| 3008s | it's a bit of a cheesecamp when you |
| 3010s | think about it but if it's on but in the |
| 3012s | right matchup it absolutely dumpsters |
| 3013s | which is what we see here that's the |
| 3015s | whole point of cheese right we saw last |
| 3017s | match uh the same kind of thing happened |
| 3019s | uh pseudo tanker is typically considered |
| 3021s | a cheese comp as well uh something that |
| 3023s | you want to take into some sort of |
| 3024s | Shield kite setup I think when they |
| 3026s | brought that they thought that uh |
| 3028s | perhaps there was going to be a flag |
| 3030s | bargast uh from temples calcif being |
| 3033s | used and in that case uh that would have |
| 3035s | been a good thing for them because they |
| 3036s | would have been up against Shield kite |
| 3037s | and that's very good matchup for uh the |
| 3041s | uh triple cruise missile uh pseudo |
| 3045s | Tinker setup here we see another form of |
| 3047s | cheese kind of this Flagship killer big |
| 3049s | Battleship killer uh Shield Rush up |
| 3052s | against a purely uh battle cruiser and |
| 3055s | Cruiser Shield Rush this loses because |
| 3057s | you don't get the application from the |
| 3058s | torps uh and you actually have fewer |
| 3061s | damage dealing ships uh but as we see |
| 3063s | here in the right match up it works very |
| 3065s | well yeah I mean you can call it cheese |
| 3067s | I say if it's |
| 3069s | if it's stupid and it works it ain't |
| 3071s | stupid you know |
| 3073s | um |
| 3075s | it's good you know this is an apex com |
| 3079s | this is one of the best comps |
| 3082s | uh it's cheese but it's good cheese |
| 3085s | right it's like it's like a it's like a |
| 3087s | finely aged uh gruyere you know |
| 3092s | picking the French cheese to uh take off |
| 3096s | my British co-caster you know |
| 3098s | so they all just gonna slowly Whittle |
| 3100s | away at this at this low end so what |
| 3101s | does this mean next for these teams |
| 3102s | bright side of death unfortunately are |
| 3104s | out they win nothing they go home they |
| 3106s | lose goodbye till doomsday we'll proceed |
| 3109s | to face the loser of paper numbers |
| 3112s | versus the tuskers so I mean that that |
| 3114s | match up in itself is going to be |
| 3116s | brilliant and then the one the resulting |
| 3117s | one between the loser of that and until |
| 3118s | doomsday is also going to be a real |
| 3121s | Barnstormer |
| 3124s | yeah uh nothing about Tim doomsday I |
| 3126s | think I mentioned on it they are French |
| 3127s | speaking uh predominantly I don't know |
| 3130s | if their comms are fully in French or |
| 3131s | not but uh if they end up facing against |
| 3135s | paper numbers it'll be the French |
| 3136s | speaking team versus the German speaking |
| 3138s | team uh which will be uh quite |
| 3140s | interesting to have a little Europe on |
| 3142s | Europe action |
| 3144s | skybreaker oh no come on we don't we |
| 3147s | don't need to go that way we don't need |
| 3149s | to go that way it's a little friendly |
| 3151s | competition you know it's like it's like |
| 3153s | the eve Olympics right you've got the |
| 3156s | German team versus the French team and |
| 3158s | they just happen to be shooting sporting |
| 3160s | missiles at each other friendly missiles |
| 3162s | yeah missiles of Love yeah yes |
| 3165s | look killings is a means of |
| 3168s | communication Taza yeah okay |
| 3173s | no what no you're not I'm not even gonna |
| 3176s | get a reaction for referencing like one |
| 3178s | of the greatest CCP music videos of all |
| 3180s | time understandable you know yeah okay I |
| 3182s | accept your defense let's move on |
| 3185s | the MGD the uh come on |
| 3190s | the spell addiction does have the orange |
| 3192s | thing on them so he is no he doesn't |
| 3194s | actually never mind he's not he's not |
| 3196s | boundarang |
| 3197s | there's not even a flag you don't need |
| 3198s | to loot it and you're not brave and |
| 3200s | you're not role-playing Brave come on |
| 3202s | I mean yeah but |
| 3206s | I'm not saying we let that guy go to |
| 3208s | loot the field I'm saying we'll let that |
| 3210s | guy go because he asks to do it all |
| 3213s | right and also |
| 3215s | and also looted the field but I mean we |
| 3218s | didn't know we didn't have salvagers fit |
| 3220s | to our Flagship I mean it would really |
| 3222s | be brave if we had soccer you want to |
| 3224s | meddle for that or something I mean you |
| 3226s | could you could have been more forceful |
| 3227s | in killing him or put it that way |
| 3231s | the spell addiction just flying around I |
| 3234s | want to see him go over the edge of |
| 3235s | glory we haven't seen anyone go for the |
| 3237s | record uh this particular tournament he |
| 3240s | is flying straight for that mjd Beacon |
| 3243s | maybe he goes for it he just kind of |
| 3247s | yeah yeah yeah it went wrong no you |
| 3250s | could just go over the record come on |
| 3252s | put your name in the history books take |
| 3255s | down goon swarm who has the record for |
| 3258s | some reason |
| 3261s | okay you know make it even further from |
| 3264s | Casper's reach |
| 3266s | one minute left until we can end this |
| 3268s | suffering |
| 3272s | getting in and he's gone 4.2 K that is a |
| 3275s | fast man addiction |
| 3276s | wait they're hitting him |
| 3278s | yeah |
| 3280s | there's a heart growing after him right |
| 3282s | now |
| 3283s | come on do it |
| 3286s | 84 go for it go for it |
| 3289s | 85 85 stop turning |
| 3293s | come on I think damage is off Phil oh |
| 3296s | drones are catching up drones are |
| 3297s | catching up fed maybe hobgoblins on the |
| 3299s | case bit of damage in 64 Shield he's |
| 3301s | going down |
| 3303s | uh I mean I don't think hobgoblins can |
| 3305s | really addiction because the value takes |
| 3308s | so long |
| 3309s | uh 20 seconds |
| 3311s | these are still medium drones up against |
| 3314s | the Interceptor 69 Shield hey we like |
| 3318s | that one |
| 3320s | 10 seconds is he gonna live it's an |
| 3324s | armor shirt surely |
| 3325s | I mean I guess they just don't want to |
| 3327s | get 100 pointed but I feel like yeah |
| 3329s | bright side of death this is the team we |
| 3332s | expect to do well but going out O2 |
| 3334s | definitely a surprise kind of shows the |
| 3336s | caliber of the teams we have in the |
| 3338s | alliance tournament this year that uh |
| 3340s | teams that we expect to be towards the |
| 3342s | top end up getting taken down early with |
| 3344s | that we're gonna tend it to the break |
| 3346s | and then to the desk to bring us into |
| 3349s | the next match |
| 3367s | [Music] |
| 3370s | thank you |
| 3383s | foreign |
| 3395s | [Music] |
| 3401s | [Applause] |
| 3402s | [Music] |
| 3403s | [Applause] |
| 3405s | [Music] |
| 3428s | foreign |
| 3429s | [Music] |
| 3438s | exiting Alliance tournament 19 except of |
| 3442s | course for our lovely malediction pilot |
| 3443s | there he survived he gets to go back to |
| 3446s | station with his maladuction and tell |
| 3448s | the rest of the team to stop being so |
| 3450s | bad and to just stop dying uh that's his |
| 3452s | advice for this thing he survived why |
| 3454s | couldn't they |
| 3455s | um so Bart what happened there looked to |
| 3457s | me like I mean torpedo |
| 3460s | battleships what was going on there was |
| 3463s | a torp scorp yes it's fun to say torp |
| 3466s | scorp uh so basically right side of |
| 3469s | death brought a triple armor Battleship |
| 3470s | setup which |
| 3472s | um not particularly great uh they did |
| 3474s | bring a really cool one because it was |
| 3475s | kind of neat to see a redeemer and a |
| 3477s | balgorn that's a lot of newts we don't |
| 3479s | see redeemers all that much in the at |
| 3480s | though you know there's a couple |
| 3482s | different reasons for that but uh they |
| 3485s | got wrecked completely by a torp scorp |
| 3488s | and a shield Rush that warped in at zero |
| 3490s | and just applied Mass amounts of damage |
| 3492s | at Torpedoes we don't see them a lot |
| 3494s | because they're very short range but |
| 3495s | they're incredibly High DPS the only |
| 3497s | thing they can really apply to his |
| 3498s | battleships but thankfully uh bsod |
| 3501s | brought three of them so they worked out |
| 3503s | great yeah that's sometimes one of those |
| 3505s | type those comps would be something |
| 3506s | different to do is cheese comps because |
| 3508s | they can do one thing really well and if |
| 3510s | you're important happens to bring the |
| 3512s | right comp for you to execute against |
| 3514s | then fantastic if not you're just kind |
| 3517s | of left looking like an absolute lemon |
| 3518s | in the middle of Arena she's like man |
| 3521s | really wish I brought something else |
| 3522s | right now in this case uh of course the |
| 3525s | cheese worked and they get to move on so |
| 3527s | doomsday I'm sure we'll be very pleased |
| 3528s | with that beside quite a quite a good |
| 3530s | team a lot of tournament pedigree |
| 3532s | clearly we're the crowd favorite so just |
| 3534s | looking at the uh the twitch Channel |
| 3536s | points 89 of you put your channel points |
| 3539s | on rise to the death 1.7 million Channel |
| 3541s | points and only 11 had faith in till |
| 3544s | Doomsday well that fate has been |
| 3546s | rewarded 10x uh anyone who put Channel |
| 3548s | points on that has been uh has been |
| 3550s | granted 10 more courtesy of all the |
| 3552s | people who put them on bright side of |
| 3553s | death I'm sure uh the the till doomsday |
| 3556s | truthers will be super happy to hear |
| 3558s | that |
| 3559s | now Bart you said that looked like a |
| 3562s | flagship headshot comp tell me actually |
| 3565s | no mod you tell me about that what's |
| 3567s | that what's a flagship headshot comp |
| 3568s | okay so sometimes we see usually in like |
| 3573s | a best out of three game or a team that |
| 3577s | is in the lower bracket and is just very |
| 3579s | spiteful and they think they're gonna |
| 3580s | lose anyway what if we just bring all of |
| 3583s | the damage and we bring something very |
| 3585s | cheesy like Bart was saying we decide |
| 3587s | hey let's go and we're gonna go bring |
| 3590s | tort bombers we're gonna bring torp |
| 3592s | everything we're just gonna go all in |
| 3594s | and there's no possible way that one |
| 3596s | ship even a very well tanked Battleship |
| 3598s | can survive and you'll lose because you |
| 3602s | all in it's a cheese you're only trying |
| 3603s | to kill one thing but the problem |
| 3607s | is that when you bring free battleships |
| 3609s | like Bart was saying your comp is |
| 3611s | actually just not that good so you can |
| 3614s | run head into a headshot comp like that |
| 3616s | and then you lose anyway so it makes |
| 3619s | more sense in the best out of three like |
| 3621s | I was saying where hey you know maybe we |
| 3624s | really really can't beat that comp if |
| 3626s | it's got your flag you know Bargas but |
| 3628s | if we get rid of it we'll sack this game |
| 3630s | and try to win the next two without that |
| 3633s | and we have our flag so it can be kind |
| 3636s | of mind gaming 3D chess but yeah it |
| 3639s | worked out today it worked out it did |
| 3641s | indeed uh and we'll find out if uh it |
| 3644s | works out for any more teams throughout |
| 3645s | the rest of the day because we've got |
| 3646s | plenty more elimination matches to do |
| 3647s | our next one is Darkseid versus Rusty |
| 3650s | hyenas Clan so let's take a look at the |
| 3651s | bands for that |
| 3655s | all right dark side going for the Osprey |
| 3658s | Navy issue the chemical Navy issue the |
| 3661s | bar guest and the Scimitar restoration's |
| 3663s | Clan Banning out the Nighthawk the Loki |
| 3665s | the Blackbird and the Scimitar and then |
| 3667s | we have some some trickle bands here uh |
| 3670s | and that is the celestis for Darkseid |
| 3672s | and the guardian for Rusty Hiatus Cloud |
| 3674s | I feel like there's a lot of Shield |
| 3676s | ships being banned here compared to what |
| 3678s | we've seen uh in previous bands but what |
| 3680s | do you think yeah there there is a lot |
| 3682s | of Shield ships in fact uh I would say |
| 3683s | not all of the viable ones but almost |
| 3686s | all of the viable ones both for these |
| 3688s | sort of heavy missile kite style setup |
| 3691s | and the uh kaldari ham Shield Rush have |
| 3694s | been banned out here uh Banning the Loki |
| 3697s | out makes it like that's like kind of |
| 3699s | the Cornerstone of a handbrush because |
| 3700s | it gives you the long range webs and a |
| 3703s | ton of DPS uh the Nighthawk also a very |
| 3705s | powerful Russia but it's also kind of |
| 3707s | the key ship for the heavy missile kite |
| 3709s | all that being said you could actually |
| 3712s | do some kind of weird janky stuff like |
| 3714s | this signal to me the dark side is |
| 3716s | saying we really don't want to deal with |
| 3719s | a heavy missile kite or a shield rush |
| 3720s | but maybe that's them mind gaming like |
| 3723s | we're we're on day two this is when |
| 3725s | people start doing weird stuff like we |
| 3726s | just saw it last match where they're |
| 3728s | like haha we're going to bring torps |
| 3729s | like this is when maybe Dark Side bands |
| 3732s | out the shield rush and takes the shield |
| 3733s | Rush |
| 3734s | just putting that out there yeah I |
| 3736s | wouldn't I wouldn't put it past the team |
| 3737s | like dark side they'd have a lot of |
| 3739s | pedigree a lot of extremely experienced |
| 3741s | Pilots we see here on the screen right |
| 3743s | now I mean look at that win to loss |
| 3745s | ratio uh winning 23 matches to just 10 |
| 3748s | losses and some extreme veterans there |
| 3751s | people like Pandy and fafi wafi have |
| 3753s | been around for a long time a number of |
| 3755s | the guys in this particular team went |
| 3757s | across uh to vidriviled it many years |
| 3760s | ago they won two Alliance tournaments |
| 3762s | back to back uh vitra since uh closed |
| 3764s | its doors a number of them have returned |
| 3766s | so this team |
| 3768s | um has quite a few multiple Alliance |
| 3771s | Tournament winning pilots and captains |
| 3773s | on it they are a very strong team not to |
| 3775s | be under uh underestimated and look at |
| 3778s | the last losses they've actually |
| 3779s | suffered we form Volta uh you know a top |
| 3782s | three team last year top two the year |
| 3783s | before truth on a light last year's |
| 3785s | Champions uh the beat Paper numbers are |
| 3787s | pretty solid team they lost to uh |
| 3790s | templates but then we're going back into |
| 3791s | alliance tournament uh 18 and 17 at that |
| 3793s | point so really really strong team it's |
| 3797s | unexpected that we see them at this |
| 3798s | point in uh in the elimination bracket |
| 3800s | it's only about Richard coming up |
| 3801s | against we form Volta yesterday where |
| 3803s | they got knocked down here in a very |
| 3805s | intense match uh with uh ECM uh winning |
| 3809s | the day uh dark side in fact both sides |
| 3812s | bringing flagships right now so Rusty |
| 3814s | Hyena's bringing a flagship Navy getting |
| 3817s | I believe and a flagship Vindicator for |
| 3819s | Darkseid so this is double Flags uh Bart |
| 3823s | uh what do you think about double |
| 3824s | flagships I mean this is this is the |
| 3825s | time to do it right like you you lose |
| 3828s | this match you're gone uh double |
| 3829s | flagships is awesome because I'm not |
| 3831s | going to say 100 but like there's like a |
| 3833s | probably 99 chance we see at least one |
| 3836s | Flagship death uh and it's pretty cool |
| 3838s | because like these Vindicator flagships |
| 3839s | it's kind of a weird pick |
| 3841s | um the the most picked flagships this |
| 3843s | year is Bargas second would be Navy |
| 3845s | again and then third I believe is The |
| 3846s | Vindicator uh but vindicators when you |
| 3849s | are able to put those officer guns and |
| 3851s | officer damage mods they do absolutely |
| 3853s | insane DPS like the ship can |
| 3855s | single-handedly if properly piloted just |
| 3858s | wreck the entire enemy line in minutes |
| 3861s | so I I'm a huge fan of Vindicator |
| 3863s | flagships I don't think it's the best |
| 3864s | one but I think it's gonna be super |
| 3866s | awesome to see one well I do know who |
| 3868s | Eve online's number one Flagship |
| 3871s | Vindicator uh pilot is and that is |
| 3873s | Wingnut cross he is probably ecstatic |
| 3876s | beside himself with Glee to see a |
| 3878s | flagship Vindicator on the field right |
| 3879s | now so let's hand over to heaven jintan |
| 3881s | and see who takes this w |
| 3888s | g'day there mates welcome to the arena I |
| 3889s | feel like everyone is trying to steal my |
| 3891s | hand in marriage because both teams have |
| 3892s | brought a Vindicator but faffey has gone |
| 3894s | even further Beyond and he's brought a |
| 3897s | flag Vindicator meanwhile in the |
| 3899s | opposing team we also have a uh flag |
| 3900s | what are you looking at Jim yeah it |
| 3902s | looks like we've got a really |
| 3903s | interesting match up here with a two |
| 3904s | Battleship core mixed with a control |
| 3907s | comp being brought here by Darkseid |
| 3909s | going up against a triple Battleship |
| 3911s | really heavy DPS set up here from Rusty |
| 3914s | hyenas that Dominic's Navy issue is |
| 3916s | going to do so much damage to the second |
| 3917s | as drones go out |
| 3919s | um I've got to say this is going to be |
| 3921s | really interesting and it's going to |
| 3922s | come down to whether or not um Darkseid |
| 3924s | can properly leverage that curse if they |
| 3926s | can use that curse to make one of those |
| 3927s | battleships effectively obsolete they're |
| 3930s | going to win this match because |
| 3931s | following on from that it's newts are |
| 3933s | going to be so able to turn off those |
| 3935s | frigates from Rusty Hyena's Clan once |
| 3938s | you get later on in this match that |
| 3939s | Deacon that Thalia they're gonna have no |
| 3940s | rep power left |
| 3942s | interesting note as well is that the |
| 3943s | flag of atoha in the Armageddon Navy is |
| 3946s | also has no guns |
| 3947s | which means instead of having a curse |
| 3949s | they basically have a full long range |
| 3951s | maximum suck Newt getting |
| 3953s | so this is wow this is honestly both |
| 3956s | teams have brought basically the same |
| 3957s | thing but with different you know |
| 3959s | different ships fitting the same role |
| 3960s | but this is going to be when they go |
| 3961s | it's gonna be crazy but God just two |
| 3964s | vindicators I'm so excited about that |
| 3966s | let's go |
| 3968s | yeah the thing about the the newts on |
| 3971s | that Armageddon Navy issue is that they |
| 3972s | get the range bonus the same range bonus |
| 3974s | that the regular Armageddon does and |
| 3976s | that means you can reach out and touch |
| 3977s | things at 70 plus kilometers and you can |
| 3979s | still mute out frigates even at that |
| 3981s | range it's so potent at keeping things |
| 3984s | away from you and you can see that |
| 3985s | already being in use here being used to |
| 3988s | turn off that and curse and just stop uh |
| 3991s | as many of those TDS from coming out as |
| 3992s | possible |
| 3993s | I kind of feel like feel like it's like |
| 3995s | a flag getting Navy has the potential to |
| 3997s | kind of be a curse killer it's just |
| 3999s | basically just turns the curse off of |
| 4000s | course it does mean you're using a flag |
| 4001s | for that role but there are very |
| 4003s | precious few ships that can really just |
| 4005s | kind of counter the curse directly it's |
| 4008s | just this is going to be brutal they |
| 4009s | actually currently everyone's playing uh |
| 4011s | games at the moment but one of these |
| 4013s | Vinnies decided to scream in this is |
| 4014s | going to be crazy Madness |
| 4017s | yeah they're taking an interesting path |
| 4019s | here curving towards the center of the |
| 4021s | Arena it looks like they're trying to |
| 4022s | maybe use that Redeemer to occupy the |
| 4024s | space that uh the triple Battleship core |
| 4027s | is going to have to move into |
| 4032s | both teams just trading pot shots back |
| 4035s | at one another the um obviously the |
| 4037s | longer this goes on for though the more |
| 4038s | Rusty hyena Clan gains from it because |
| 4041s | that curse is not being fully effective |
| 4042s | at this range it's not able to use its |
| 4044s | Newt to really attrition down the |
| 4046s | capacitor on some of those smaller ships |
| 4048s | from Rusty |
| 4050s | I just I feel like the princess had a |
| 4052s | tournament right now someone's trying to |
| 4053s | win my hand in marriage because both |
| 4055s | teams are bringing the vindy and it's |
| 4056s | just they'll play it as carefully as |
| 4058s | they can like everyone's just playing it |
| 4060s | really slow and smart which again you |
| 4062s | meant that you're a Vindicator you are |
| 4063s | in a rush ship it doesn't mean you have |
| 4064s | to rush now you can Rush when it's time |
| 4067s | and to be fair both teams are staring |
| 4069s | down the barrel of an absurd amount of |
| 4071s | looting power |
| 4073s | yeah |
| 4074s | you gotta find the right moment to |
| 4075s | strike and honestly for these |
| 4077s | vindicators there's actually a very |
| 4078s | small window of things considered but |
| 4079s | you can actually see the Domi Navy is |
| 4082s | starting to approach in so maybe he's |
| 4084s | trying to fall there we can request as |
| 4086s | well as the back lines it looks like |
| 4087s | they're going for that um arbitrator |
| 4089s | potentially they might be able to pick |
| 4090s | him off no no no no no |
| 4092s | pulling back towards the center here |
| 4094s | there was a moment there where I thought |
| 4095s | ricorice might be able to snatch the |
| 4097s | back end of the composition but looks |
| 4099s | like nestat's moving in film Force |
| 4100s | though look at that he's uh fluffy raffy |
| 4103s | and The Vindicator he's completely out |
| 4104s | of the way they can't use his 90 Webster |
| 4106s | screen this Vindicator he's gonna get |
| 4107s | right into the back lines potentially on |
| 4108s | top of that curse and you know what |
| 4110s | happens if a Vindicator gets on top of a |
| 4112s | cursor right winglet oh yeah as long as |
| 4114s | he Cycles his new is a cap booster |
| 4116s | correctly he can kill it but do it wrong |
| 4119s | and that curse will turn him off so it's |
| 4120s | it's honestly it's great to see like |
| 4122s | kind of well-flow well skilled Parts |
| 4123s | trying to engage in this kind of |
| 4125s | scenario it's because both have the |
| 4126s | potential to basically remove the other |
| 4128s | one Again Sam palisher here in the Magus |
| 4130s | has screened them successfully |
| 4132s | um The Vindicator is now just kind of |
| 4133s | locks down there in the middle of them |
| 4134s | this might be the opportunity that |
| 4136s | Darkseid needed to really leverage that |
| 4138s | power |
| 4139s | I've got to call this out Rico in the |
| 4141s | Confessor is it the back line he went to |
| 4143s | go tackle the Arby he tackled it and |
| 4145s | then the Armageddon Navy got close the |
| 4147s | flag getting Navy and he's gone all |
| 4149s | right then cool and he starts tackling |
| 4150s | the getting Amy instead so this the |
| 4152s | Confessor potentially had the |
| 4154s | opportunity to well I mean we can still |
| 4156s | reach out and new people but he can |
| 4157s | hopefully keep them out of optimal range |
| 4158s | of their notes right in the back line |
| 4161s | that's beautiful |
| 4162s | I gotta tell you that it's always really |
| 4163s | tense though that Confessor is probably |
| 4165s | living off just the capacitor that a one |
| 4167s | you know not small nuts is affording him |
| 4170s | just spamming that um scrap button |
| 4173s | hoping you can get as many enough Cycles |
| 4174s | off of it to really impact the fight |
| 4177s | obviously crazy to see a comp with so |
| 4180s | much potential DPS with two Vindicated |
| 4182s | and bounces on the grid everyone's |
| 4184s | playing it really slow and smoke seeing |
| 4186s | a hyena and Thalia they're trying to be |
| 4187s | pressured in the back line Dominick's |
| 4189s | maybe actually starting to take some |
| 4189s | real punishment now so this we might be |
| 4191s | finally about to start actually yeah |
| 4193s | there's a redeemer Pandy directly on the |
| 4195s | Dominic's Navy this could potentially be |
| 4197s | the uh the start of the landslide here |
| 4199s | yeah here go all of those newts from the |
| 4201s | curse as I said earlier they've they've |
| 4203s | been in range now they've been in effect |
| 4204s | for a little bit here and it's starting |
| 4206s | to take effect to hyena going down I |
| 4207s | think the failure is going to follow it |
| 4209s | very very quickly here I think the hyena |
| 4211s | was full of indicator |
| 4213s | shoot that high you know I'm pretty sure |
| 4215s | he was nice and webbed by Fairfield so |
| 4217s | oh man that hyena gone that could start |
| 4219s | with the snowball you can really see |
| 4220s | Thalia better go down Chris swap did you |
| 4222s | about to go down Dominic's name is being |
| 4223s | chunked and I think the vindicators |
| 4225s | might be about to brawl together no |
| 4227s | don't mind they're going past each other |
| 4228s | I think but thankfully |
| 4229s | yeah the issue here with the rusty |
| 4231s | Hyena's comp is that they now have |
| 4233s | basically nothing here to threaten that |
| 4235s | aniros with they need to lock that neros |
| 4237s | down to be able to maneuver their |
| 4239s | battleships into position onto it to win |
| 4241s | the win the long game now that one of |
| 4242s | their Logistics frigates is dead and |
| 4244s | they have pontifax and make us to do |
| 4246s | that and there's easily enough tackle |
| 4248s | here on the dark side screen to just |
| 4250s | lock those things down and take away any |
| 4252s | hope that Rusty hyenas have of winning |
| 4254s | the match away from them I I understand |
| 4256s | the playing smile I understand the |
| 4258s | playing slow at this point |
| 4260s | you've got a um a flag again Navy you |
| 4263s | and you've got a Vindicator you just |
| 4265s | have to send it at some point like |
| 4266s | there's we can't play Slow anymore |
| 4267s | they're pulling our team apart go just |
| 4270s | go just just try with everything you've |
| 4272s | got overheat void and pray |
| 4274s | at the moment I was tackled by Omega so |
| 4276s | they might not happen |
| 4276s | [Laughter] |
| 4279s | yeah there's still every possibility you |
| 4281s | know this you know they could still be |
| 4282s | ECM drones they could still be any |
| 4284s | manner of things that might allow them |
| 4286s | to slip through but there's a Magus down |
| 4288s | one more one more possibility in |
| 4291s | the flowchart just drifting away there |
| 4293s | for Rusty hyenas Clan even though that |
| 4295s | Dominic's Navy issue is tanking like the |
| 4297s | Dickens that active rep bonus that they |
| 4299s | get is just it gets is just astounding |
| 4302s | even in a uh con constrained numbers |
| 4304s | format like this |
| 4310s | edema and which he is about to be there |
| 4312s | he's kind of crawling over this could |
| 4314s | potentially start tearing this over |
| 4316s | because the removing the demon will give |
| 4317s | them back the neuter benefit here of the |
| 4319s | Gideon they'll be ahead of new power |
| 4321s | so they might at least they could |
| 4324s | potentially still get kill here I |
| 4325s | suppose that that that's every |
| 4327s | possibility exactly I I don't it's not |
| 4330s | likely but you know if they could get |
| 4332s | the Redeemer down it could start to |
| 4334s | Snowball the other way but arbitrary is |
| 4336s | going down the Dominic's name is still |
| 4338s | holding on for dear life |
| 4340s | I don't know maybe I'm a hopeful man I |
| 4341s | like seeing Winnie's kill things but it |
| 4343s | might look like it's only going to go |
| 4344s | one way here yeah the problem here |
| 4345s | though is really that that Armageddon |
| 4347s | Navy issue has effectively no DPS now it |
| 4350s | there's no point even locking it in |
| 4351s | place here really the the only threat |
| 4354s | that it has is getting on top of the |
| 4355s | aniros getting into right Prime range of |
| 4357s | it and turning it off but it doesn't |
| 4359s | look like to be like that's going to be |
| 4360s | particularly possible arbitrary this |
| 4362s | could be a crazy idea right so the good |
| 4364s | Navy is free no one's tackling as you |
| 4365s | say he could be bumping the opposing get |
| 4367s | uh Vindicator away and bumping his |
| 4369s | friendly Vindicator towards the Redeemer |
| 4371s | I mean why not you got you don't need to |
| 4373s | be in a particular position you start |
| 4374s | using your ship as a Battleground start |
| 4376s | playing uh grid control there we go you |
| 4378s | can actually watch |
| 4380s | Navy issue into new range of that near |
| 4383s | us there we go that could be it that |
| 4385s | could be a route |
| 4390s | hey give it a try you gotta gotta go for |
| 4392s | something as a fortunate Vindicator |
| 4393s | starting to lose arm remarkably quickly |
| 4395s | they just switched off of the Domi Navy |
| 4396s | which honestly to me is kind of crazy |
| 4398s | but fair enough the video is not tanking |
| 4400s | as well as the dummy Navy is |
| 4403s | no if that does go down that will be 100 |
| 4407s | game I don't think they're not gonna |
| 4408s | make it anymore I think it's it's done |
| 4410s | there's nothing I can really do |
| 4414s | yeah you got to give them credit though |
| 4415s | this was a very well put up fight they |
| 4417s | definitely came in with a risk of |
| 4419s | killing a few key ships that here and |
| 4420s | there but uh overall a lovely little 100 |
| 4423s | zero Victory potentially here for |
| 4426s | dark side if I can clean this match up |
| 4428s | yeah I love as well again they basically |
| 4432s | brought what is rush comes with control |
| 4434s | it doesn't mean you have to rush you |
| 4437s | pick your time and as you can see dark |
| 4439s | side you know waited wait for the moment |
| 4441s | picked a few ships apart and then hit |
| 4443s | them with everything they had and at |
| 4445s | that point it just started falling apart |
| 4446s | in Rapid order you can you can use a |
| 4448s | rushcom slowly methodically and pick the |
| 4451s | right targets and when you've got a |
| 4453s | flagship Vindicator you can rush |
| 4455s | anything |
| 4458s | absolutely those webs just Reach Out |
| 4460s | touch people and then apply the |
| 4462s | handbrakes for you just nothing you can |
| 4465s | do once those things get in range |
| 4468s | well uh I will say this is fulfilled all |
| 4470s | my wishes and desires for the entire |
| 4471s | Alliance tournament I get to see a flag |
| 4473s | bendy fighting of Indy this is beautiful |
| 4475s | and glorious there's a minute left the |
| 4477s | guy the Navy could try and tank until |
| 4479s | the match ends the not they'll lose a |
| 4481s | flagship but I believe that means that |
| 4482s | Flagship vending Fielding teams are 100 |
| 4485s | win rate currently they should as they |
| 4489s | should The Vindicator is definitely the |
| 4491s | best ship yep definitely I'm not |
| 4493s | exaggerating |
| 4495s | definitely |
| 4497s | I think he's gonna die yeah he's gonna |
| 4499s | die right it's going to be a question |
| 4502s | at this point because you don't get any |
| 4504s | you get you know precious few seconds of |
| 4506s | domination to actually grab stuff dummy |
| 4509s | have you push the indicator so we can't |
| 4511s | kill him shoot the wreck go on come on |
| 4514s | do it |
| 4517s | come on it's right there you can do this |
| 4520s | we believe |
| 4522s | also I love the idea of the officer uh |
| 4524s | the flagship Vindicator is next to the |
| 4526s | flagship kidneys they're not shooting it |
| 4528s | ah they looted it |
| 4530s | [Laughter] |
| 4532s | five seconds the match is over big big |
| 4535s | respects to dark side it is not 100 zero |
| 4538s | but it is close enough very very very |
| 4541s | well flown and with that we'll go back |
| 4543s | to the studio and see what they think |
| 4553s | thank you |
| 4559s | [Music] |
| 4563s | [Applause] |
| 4569s | are you ready yeah see somebody's house |
| 4573s | on the way what do you think it would |
| 4575s | feel like if a ship worked through your |
| 4577s | house I might have some weird effect |
| 4579s | like imagine yeah sneezing like they get |
| 4582s | explosive diarrhea or something like |
| 4584s | that |
| 4585s | I like sneezing more yeah if he's out of |
| 4589s | your ass |
| 4591s | guys |
| 4594s | you started with the all right you know |
| 4599s | what jump there's never happened let's |
| 4600s | move on |
| 4601s | he's our secondary Target the city |
| 4603s | broadcasted if they're jumping now then |
| 4606s | we can |
| 4607s | [Applause] |
| 4610s | I want bubbles all over this big guys |
| 4613s | now do it now |
| 4632s | Darkseid showing Rasta Hyena's Clan at |
| 4634s | the door as they exit the tournament |
| 4636s | they also lose their Flagship Armageddon |
| 4638s | Navy issue at the end as well and what |
| 4640s | was actually an extremely exciting match |
| 4642s | uh it could have gone either way for a |
| 4644s | long time lots of positioning lots of |
| 4645s | like high IQ plays teams moving around |
| 4647s | just waiting for the moment to pounce |
| 4649s | right at the right moment mystical might |
| 4652s | joins me on the desk along with CCP |
| 4653s | convict Mr gomaid talk to me about |
| 4655s | logistics frigates versus a Vindicator |
| 4657s | especially a flag Vindicator yeah so in |
| 4660s | that match we saw two vindicators going |
| 4662s | up against each other I think the |
| 4663s | primary difference between the dark side |
| 4664s | team and the rusty hyenas team was the |
| 4667s | fact that the |
| 4670s | Rusty hyenas team had two Logistics |
| 4673s | frigates so |
| 4674s | you have to keep in mind The Vindicator |
| 4676s | has a super strong web it can wipe you |
| 4678s | down by about 90 but it doesn't extend |
| 4680s | that far so with Logistics frigates you |
| 4683s | need to be super close to the Target |
| 4684s | that's being shot so essentially what |
| 4686s | dots I can do is they can put all their |
| 4688s | damage into you know a Vindicator for |
| 4691s | example and when the logifrix come in to |
| 4693s | wrap that Vindicator they can switch |
| 4694s | their webs over kill those logic |
| 4696s | frigates really quickly and start |
| 4697s | neutralizing the support Wing that |
| 4699s | reister Hayden has brought so I think it |
| 4701s | was just a very interesting technical |
| 4702s | match to watch in how both teams utilize |
| 4705s | their vindicators and their battleships |
| 4706s | I think Darkseid did it better and it |
| 4708s | showed because they actually managed to |
| 4709s | eke out the win at the end yeah the |
| 4711s | indicator is not a ship we see very |
| 4712s | often in Alliance tournament in fact we |
| 4714s | can throw up a graph and have a look at |
| 4715s | exactly how much it has been seen so 119 |
| 4719s | wins 156 losses so it's not the most |
| 4721s | successful of ships but it definitely |
| 4723s | spiked a good few years ago uh twice |
| 4726s | actually I'm not really sure why that |
| 4728s | spiked early on perhaps mystical Mike |
| 4729s | can uh enlighteners absolutely not okay |
| 4732s | well that's that's lost to ancient |
| 4733s | history and then a little bit of a spike |
| 4735s | later on and then just a huge drop off |
| 4738s | the point cost of vindicators especially |
| 4740s | in the world of Point inflation and with |
| 4742s | the the rise of you know these Newton |
| 4744s | kind of uh matters where a ship like The |
| 4746s | Vindicator can just get really really |
| 4748s | ruined by energy neutralization and of |
| 4751s | course it works really well when it gets |
| 4752s | close up to somebody it's fantastic it |
| 4754s | just you know slaps that web on there's |
| 4756s | very little you can do about it they're |
| 4757s | very hard to screen as well because |
| 4758s | anything that can screen a Vindicator |
| 4760s | can be webbed by said Vindicator and |
| 4763s | then removed uh but you know extremely |
| 4765s | cap heavy both in tank and weapon |
| 4768s | systems so very vulnerable to that so we |
| 4769s | don't see them very often seeing two at |
| 4771s | the same time especially a flagship one |
| 4773s | as well uh exciting exciting to watch |
| 4776s | now as I mentioned joined on the desk by |
| 4778s | the wonderful CCP convict |
| 4781s | um CP conflict how are you today I'm |
| 4783s | doing very very well |
| 4784s | I have a proposal for you yes put on me |
| 4786s | I think that would be pretty neat if we |
| 4790s | and some of our CC friends got together |
| 4792s | in Iceland maybe September and we |
| 4795s | invited all of our friends |
| 4797s | we play Eve online to come and join us |
| 4799s | what do you think I've had uh not |
| 4801s | dissimilar thought myself CCP overload |
| 4803s | about that which is why we've decided to |
| 4805s | do exactly that so uh in September uh as |
| 4808s | you hopefully know by now we're having |
| 4809s | Fan Fest from the 20 21st to 23rd |
| 4813s | um and it's going to be at later this |
| 4814s | whole Arena again and now I'm gonna I'm |
| 4817s | gonna I'm about to say like it's gonna |
| 4819s | be you know the biggest ever which is |
| 4821s | exactly what you'd expect me to say but |
| 4822s | it's actually looking like it's going to |
| 4824s | be the biggest ever Fan Fest based on |
| 4826s | the tickets that we've already sold and |
| 4828s | um the venue actually has more capacity |
| 4830s | than the older venue of Harper and we're |
| 4833s | probably actually going to sell out uh |
| 4835s | in the next week or so just based on the |
| 4836s | way numbers are moving so if you have |
| 4838s | been planning on coming to Fan Fest this |
| 4839s | year in Iceland |
| 4841s | um you should probably get off the couch |
| 4842s | and buy that ticket because |
| 4843s | um we yeah there may not be any left uh |
| 4846s | in another only another week or two yeah |
| 4848s | I heard uh really not many left but even |
| 4851s | if we sold not a single more ticket |
| 4852s | today I have been told that it will be |
| 4855s | the highest attended Fan Fest ever in |
| 4858s | history of Eve online so all the Nerds |
| 4860s | will be there |
| 4861s | which yeah seems appropriate for the |
| 4863s | 20th and what you're referring to before |
| 4865s | is a really cool side event that we've |
| 4867s | cooked up for this year is happening the |
| 4869s | day before the official start of Fan |
| 4870s | Fest on the 20th we're doing the first |
| 4872s | nfsi which is the not Fan Fest shoot at |
| 4875s | Fleet we've got a Esports uh facility in |
| 4879s | uh Iceland in a town called Reykjavik |
| 4881s | which is like right next to Reykjavik |
| 4883s | just rubs up against it sorry copenhager |
| 4885s | which rubs up right next to Reykjavik |
| 4886s | and um we're gonna have 60 PC set up |
| 4889s | there this event is already sold out |
| 4891s | sorry but we're gonna have 60 PCS there |
| 4894s | we've got 50 players who are coming in |
| 4895s | we've got a bunch of CCP devs who are |
| 4897s | coming along and we're having ccpb uh |
| 4899s | Varian Stone Shard from Specter Fleet |
| 4901s | and chiati from the mpsi group uh |
| 4904s | funding even better with friends as |
| 4905s | guest FCS and we're just gonna all get |
| 4907s | in a room together have a big LAN party |
| 4909s | go roaming and Eve online have some |
| 4911s | beers and some pizza and it's just going |
| 4913s | to be a really really cool day of having |
| 4915s | fun with your space friends and |
| 4916s | spaceships on the internet I'm really |
| 4918s | looking forward to Fan Fest for those of |
| 4920s | you maybe in the regime before it's |
| 4922s | always an incredible uh opportunity to |
| 4924s | meet up with friends and enemies alike |
| 4926s | and uh and share a beer with them and |
| 4928s | then chat and share stories yes friends |
| 4931s | we're also changing the first day of the |
| 4934s | event because it was only a two-day |
| 4935s | event last year while we um got back |
| 4937s | into the swing of things this year it's |
| 4939s | extended to a three-day event again but |
| 4941s | the first day of the event is not |
| 4943s | actually happening at the main venue |
| 4944s | we're having it in a building called |
| 4945s | grosska which is the location of the new |
| 4947s | CCP headquarters and so rather than the |
| 4950s | old building which was just all CCP this |
| 4952s | is a much larger building with a |
| 4954s | beautiful big sort of like Atrium I |
| 4956s | guess you could call it in the middle |
| 4958s | um and there's like an auditorium there |
| 4960s | a really large function space for people |
| 4963s | to mingle and have some drinks there's |
| 4965s | like a little Club off to the side which |
| 4966s | we're going to have activities in as |
| 4968s | well so the first day of Fan Fest this |
| 4969s | year will be located at crossca and |
| 4971s | we'll have like guest speakers in the |
| 4972s | auditorium like the Oz and we'll be |
| 4974s | showing the videos in the auditorium as |
| 4976s | well as like meetings and activities in |
| 4978s | the the um the little Club next door |
| 4981s | it's going to be amazing and then the |
| 4982s | next day on the Saturday |
| 4984s | on the Friday is when we move into |
| 4986s | laodice and have like the the usual Fan |
| 4989s | Fest kind of |
| 4991s | um convention experience experience you |
| 4993s | used to with the CCP presentations and |
| 4994s | those kinds of things |
| 4996s | yeah I mean I'm getting emotional just |
| 4997s | like you thinking about it there like |
| 4999s | I'm super looking forward to it uh all |
| 5001s | right |
| 5002s | because I'm trying to suck my guts in |
| 5003s | and it's really hard to talk for a long |
| 5005s | period of time when you're just like |
| 5006s | holding onto your diaphragm not trying |
| 5008s | to let it all spill out well speaking of |
| 5010s | all spelling out I see already in our |
| 5012s | next match uh rockapella bringing a |
| 5013s | flagship Vindicator but before we get to |
| 5015s | that rocker Bell versus Exodus let's |
| 5017s | take a quick look at the bands as we're |
| 5019s | only a few minutes out from this one so |
| 5021s | rock apparel Banning out the Bargas the |
| 5023s | Osprey the extra executor Navy issue the |
| 5025s | EOS our next is going for the locate the |
| 5027s | curse the pilgrim and the Sentinel two |
| 5029s | teams and most people wouldn't have |
| 5031s | expected to be at all in one already |
| 5033s | this is an elimination match mystical |
| 5035s | night uh pretty standard bands any |
| 5036s | thoughts here I like the fact that we're |
| 5038s | seeing a pilgrim bam I think most teams |
| 5041s | just simply forgot that the pilgrim |
| 5042s | existed until it was mentioned a couple |
| 5043s | times on the desk and then frat brought |
| 5045s | it yesterday |
| 5047s | um as a bit of a surprise so we're |
| 5049s | seeing a lot of TD bands coming out from |
| 5050s | the Exodus team it looks like they're |
| 5052s | trying to remove both the mix of |
| 5054s | tracking disruptors and newts because |
| 5056s | typically we'd also expect to see |
| 5057s | something along the lines of an |
| 5058s | arbitrator ban if they really want to |
| 5060s | get rid of all the the dragon disruptors |
| 5062s | that they could go up against and from |
| 5064s | The Rook Capel team it looks like they |
| 5065s | are |
| 5066s | I'm not quite sure why they've banned |
| 5068s | the Osprey over everything else I don't |
| 5070s | know if they've practiced with the |
| 5072s | Exodus team at all or know a little bit |
| 5074s | about what the Exodus team has brought |
| 5075s | previously yeah so it's an interesting |
| 5077s | ban and we've I think we saw a banned |
| 5079s | yesterday as well but we can check that |
| 5080s | uh a little bit as it's time to go to |
| 5082s | the arena with our casters virina and |
| 5085s | the Basilisk |
| 5090s | welcome to the arena everybody and we |
| 5092s | have got an interesting matchup for us |
| 5094s | here we've got double the shack coming |
| 5095s | out from Exodus now this is I think a |
| 5097s | comp they have flown before an account |
| 5098s | that we've actually seen uh quite a few |
| 5100s | teams fall foul of using it it's not had |
| 5103s | the greatest success up against this |
| 5104s | very controller comp with a flag |
| 5106s | Vindicator from proxy a redeemer some |
| 5108s | blackbirds |
| 5110s | um there's extensive control Wings on |
| 5111s | both comps here so I wonder if either |
| 5113s | team is going to try and focus on |
| 5114s | getting rid of these command destroyers |
| 5115s | and just try and Whittle down those |
| 5117s | links because there's just going to be |
| 5118s | so much evil flying across the grid |
| 5120s | yeah those 90 webs on The Vindicator are |
| 5122s | going to be very nice to have as well as |
| 5124s | the newts on the Redeemer those are |
| 5126s | bonus for uh neutralizer amount unlike |
| 5129s | the tech one variant of the ship the |
| 5130s | Armageddon which is uh for range and the |
| 5133s | Dual blackbirds up against the Shacks is |
| 5135s | very very potent if the low Shacks can't |
| 5137s | kill one of these blackbirds before uh |
| 5140s | the other one's able to uh take their |
| 5142s | guns off of them they're gonna have a |
| 5144s | hard time killing anything in this match |
| 5146s | especially with these tracking |
| 5147s | disruptors coming out from this |
| 5149s | crucifier uh and the uh dance coming out |
| 5152s | from the celestis from Road Coppell I |
| 5154s | mean this is already I think just |
| 5156s | looking at the control UI here this is |
| 5157s | already a bad situation for Exodus that |
| 5159s | that carries was very very slow to even |
| 5161s | start moving I think 20 seconds into the |
| 5163s | match and he's they've probably lost you |
| 5165s | can see they've lost the control over |
| 5166s | here no damage being applied on the |
| 5168s | roadside they are losing this Magus |
| 5170s | though they are trying to trade for this |
| 5172s | hyena on the other side uh Magus catches |
| 5174s | reps there but yeah so the celestis |
| 5176s | managed somehow to lock up and get damps |
| 5178s | on the carries and the mawless without |
| 5180s | them being able to shut them down in |
| 5181s | return quicker obviously frigates gonna |
| 5183s | have faster Lock speed they should be |
| 5184s | able to win that war but the Celeste is |
| 5185s | Scotland both controlled and that is |
| 5187s | freeing up the TDS of the crucifier |
| 5190s | yeah really really nice play from this |
| 5193s | celestis obviously the control bar isn't |
| 5195s | too small either uh from the side of |
| 5198s | Exodus they've got double the Shacks of |
| 5200s | course which will have newts on them as |
| 5202s | well as uh as you mentioned the high end |
| 5204s | I was just gonna have the webs uh |
| 5205s | something to note Vindicator webs 90 uh |
| 5208s | typically we see some of the Richer |
| 5210s | teams bring things like gotens webs or |
| 5212s | Tobias webs uh some teams that have some |
| 5214s | level of money but a little bit less |
| 5216s | might bring something like a mazuros and |
| 5218s | other teams might bring faction so the |
| 5220s | range at which the webs lands tells you |
| 5222s | a lot about how The Vindicator is fit if |
| 5224s | it's 30 kilometers it's gotens are |
| 5226s | Tobias if it's like 25 it's one of the |
| 5228s | other officers than anything like 16 17 |
| 5231s | kilometers is going to be faction so |
| 5234s | flag Vindicator does get a web onto the |
| 5236s | hyena who is webbing him back uh I do |
| 5239s | not estimate that difference too well |
| 5241s | but it does look because the high ends I |
| 5243s | would love them back that those might be |
| 5245s | in the 25 kilometer range at least but |
| 5247s | the problem is the hyena is still |
| 5249s | slowing down and as he's slowing down he |
| 5251s | is dying and that's an issue and I |
| 5252s | actually researched this yesterday in |
| 5254s | preparation for our match with Roe I |
| 5256s | needed to find out obviously as the |
| 5257s | hyena pilot I was faced with the |
| 5258s | potential of being in this scenario or |
| 5260s | flying a hyena against a flag Bindi and |
| 5262s | I think the flag bendy numbers uh I |
| 5264s | think it's 35k about 35k is the absolute |
| 5266s | max range you can get and you've got 40K |
| 5268s | or 50k I think with heat on the hyena so |
| 5271s | you haven't got a particularly wide band |
| 5272s | of range to play in and if you do get |
| 5274s | caught by that Mindy web for an extended |
| 5275s | period it can be very very difficult to |
| 5277s | get out again |
| 5278s | yeah but I mean bro Capel they lost |
| 5280s | their crucifiers so that is tracking |
| 5282s | disruption off the field for them it was |
| 5283s | their only dragon disruption ship does |
| 5284s | rape their slow Shacks a little bit more |
| 5286s | but these jams keep landing on a low |
| 5287s | Shack in the ineros uh remember |
| 5289s | blackbirds so they're gonna have uh |
| 5291s | probably three racial jams of each type |
| 5293s | something around that uh but among them |
| 5296s | might have even four yellow jams which |
| 5298s | is enough to really dig into uh the |
| 5302s | Double the Shacks from the side of |
| 5306s | Exodus but they did get first blood with |
| 5309s | the current their Confessor is going to |
| 5310s | be webbed and grappled uh the hyena and |
| 5313s | Vindicator have all pulled off of each |
| 5314s | other but the Vindicator right now is |
| 5315s | scrambled I Believe by the Confessor uh |
| 5318s | so this Confessor 90 webs probably dual |
| 5320s | 90 webs on top of them he needs to get |
| 5324s | the rest of his team on top of the |
| 5325s | Vindicator before he goes down or else |
| 5327s | his sacrifice is gonna meet for not and |
| 5328s | as I say that the Magus seems to be the |
| 5330s | target for these little Shacks yeah they |
| 5332s | need to deal with these links quickly |
| 5333s | and just try and regain some semblance |
| 5335s | of control here because this Confessor |
| 5336s | going down he's not getting out of that |
| 5338s | situation he's he is he just needs to |
| 5340s | buy time |
| 5341s | wait look no jams coming out no jams |
| 5343s | coming out from the side of road Capel |
| 5345s | the uh carries and the malls were able |
| 5347s | to burn away from the celestis uh enough |
| 5349s | to get away from his stamps put the |
| 5351s | damps back down on the Blackbirds and |
| 5353s | celestos themselves and now the e-war |
| 5356s | award is going in favor of Exodus so |
| 5358s | very smart piloting from this carries |
| 5360s | and mullus in order to do that this |
| 5361s | Confessor is staying alive right now |
| 5363s | through these on hero straps despite |
| 5364s | being wet down by this Vindicator uh and |
| 5366s | scrappled by the Redeemer at the moment |
| 5368s | uh so he's staying alive Exodus still |
| 5370s | have to lead the match and now they're |
| 5372s | under the Blackbird of Marie hoshino who |
| 5374s | at the moment there's only one set of |
| 5376s | jams going out onto vitone so this black |
| 5379s | bird they need to get jams uh |
| 5382s | counterjams on to save uh Rory right now |
| 5385s | yeah good call on the carries these |
| 5387s | Alfonso's made up for his earlier sins |
| 5389s | there by getting damp control over the |
| 5391s | celestes on the other side and it's just |
| 5392s | so valuable when you can shut off the |
| 5393s | jams the black roads as you say they |
| 5395s | need to count the gem work in Tandem and |
| 5397s | you know narrow down the damage that's |
| 5398s | coming in on any given Blackbird by |
| 5400s | using the jams on the other one as a |
| 5401s | tone it is quite difficult to set up and |
| 5403s | communicate when you get your when you |
| 5405s | get pressured here you know you're under |
| 5407s | pressure the communication is going to |
| 5408s | be quite tense |
| 5410s | and that Confessor does finally go down |
| 5413s | but I mean they've held the vindi |
| 5415s | killing it for quite a while but I mean |
| 5416s | it is now going to be freed up to try |
| 5417s | and put its webs on something else as we |
| 5419s | saw 35 kilometer webs now free to go |
| 5421s | roaming the arena for its next prey but |
| 5423s | this black matter really goes down |
| 5425s | very strong start to the match four |
| 5428s | Exodus this is I think I can't that when |
| 5431s | we first saw the cops land on field I |
| 5433s | think we favored the double blackbirds |
| 5434s | in all the shack but Exodus are playing |
| 5436s | this very nicely with their damps able |
| 5438s | to counter the ECM now there's only one |
| 5441s | black bird left and they can keep their |
| 5442s | damps onto the Blackbird and the |
| 5444s | celestis uh in entirely instead of |
| 5447s | splitting it among three e-warships |
| 5449s | there's damage going on arima and barel |
| 5450s | in the ineros right now I do not believe |
| 5453s | he's webbed he's only being painted |
| 5454s | right now so should be able to get out |
| 5456s | of this for the time being as the |
| 5458s | Confessor was uh really the only hard |
| 5461s | tackle uh from the side of Exodus they |
| 5464s | have a hyena but that is a much |
| 5466s | squishier ship |
| 5467s | yeah this is the difficulty from wrote |
| 5469s | as you've got this big lumbering |
| 5470s | Vindicator and he's got 35k webs it's a |
| 5472s | matter of getting something inside that |
| 5474s | 35k if you can if you get that magic |
| 5476s | number then great you can get on |
| 5477s | something you can close the gap and |
| 5478s | eventually kill it if you can't |
| 5480s | um you're in trouble so it's going to be |
| 5481s | on his Confessor kibbett in the Hibbett |
| 5484s | kalanikov in the Confessor to maybe get |
| 5486s | on top of something and just provide you |
| 5487s | know 10-15 seconds this guy scrammed |
| 5489s | come and get him the Lindy gets a bit of |
| 5490s | time Burns over gets up some speed gets |
| 5492s | that web on and then they can break |
| 5493s | through it |
| 5494s | so I was just able to get some uh damps |
| 5496s | onto one of the Shacks of vitam but |
| 5498s | remember very low in the ineros right |
| 5501s | now it's getting very sketchy because |
| 5502s | the black birds can't really break the |
| 5504s | spool at the moment and with one lashac |
| 5506s | free to get onto the ineros he will die |
| 5508s | no matter how many rep drones they get |
| 5509s | on top of them so once again row Capell |
| 5511s | trying their best and they finally are |
| 5513s | able to cycle some jams onto sabotage in |
| 5515s | a little Shack we'll see if they're able |
| 5518s | to uh break the spool and wrap that back |
| 5520s | up remember if you see the logo for the |
| 5522s | jam on these uh fancy UI that we see as |
| 5526s | we call it that means that their jam |
| 5528s | attempt is being made that does not mean |
| 5530s | a successful gym has been made and we're |
| 5531s | seeing Rima ambrell still taking damage |
| 5533s | right now yeah I can see the spool from |
| 5535s | what was shown on the stream the spool |
| 5537s | from both the Shacks is still continuing |
| 5539s | undeterred just the one Blackbird losing |
| 5541s | that Blackbird is such a critical loss |
| 5542s | because you lose so much of that jam |
| 5544s | pressure which you were going to be |
| 5545s | relying on your game plan is going to be |
| 5546s | we just keep jamming out the Shacks |
| 5548s | right just keep jamming little shacks |
| 5549s | and disrupt the spool and if you can't |
| 5551s | do that then the ineros is just |
| 5552s | eventually going to suffer under those |
| 5553s | beams |
| 5555s | yeah and in fact we did see a successful |
| 5557s | Jam attempt actually land on to sabotage |
| 5560s | uh as he was forced to shoot the |
| 5562s | Blackbird but vitam was still able to |
| 5563s | finish up the ineros this is snowballing |
| 5565s | very quickly now for Exodus on the road |
| 5568s | Capel these are uh both teams that have |
| 5570s | quite a bit of at history as we saw |
| 5571s | before lots of wins between the two of |
| 5574s | them uh row Capell though this year they |
| 5576s | lost their Captain uh lady Libya they |
| 5579s | went on to move to White Flag I think |
| 5581s | they took some team members with them so |
| 5582s | it's a bit of a rebuilding year for them |
| 5584s | going out O2 not the uh start to the |
| 5587s | rebuild that they necessarily want but |
| 5589s | they did it up against two very good |
| 5591s | teams and Henley Finn hiddenly Village |
| 5594s | Ninja Assassin Squad Esports and exodus |
| 5597s | yeah and now with just over two minutes |
| 5599s | remaining we eagerly await the contents |
| 5603s | of proxy as he spills his guts into the |
| 5605s | arena into the cold Dark Void of space |
| 5607s | and we will see what kind of looty |
| 5609s | goodies affected to that Vindicator and |
| 5611s | exodus may be about to come |
| 5613s | several billion richer |
| 5616s | perhaps it really depends on how Rock |
| 5619s | spell fit it I mean two minutes left uh |
| 5621s | it's entirely possible that they don't |
| 5623s | actually kill The Vindicator because |
| 5624s | probably some sort of Dolex type rep fit |
| 5626s | and they are just killing the low end |
| 5627s | right now uh is this for dinner and |
| 5629s | Vindicator really just can't do anything |
| 5631s | oh on their own without the rest of the |
| 5633s | control |
| 5636s | as upset as you that we don't get to see |
| 5639s | the kill mail I mean we do know there |
| 5641s | were officer Webbs because of the web |
| 5642s | range battle between him and the hyena |
| 5644s | it's probably gotens or Tobias webs |
| 5646s | based on that range 30 to 35 kilometer |
| 5648s | range that we saw |
| 5650s | um so |
| 5651s | it sucks that we're not gonna be able to |
| 5653s | see that uh some of these uh end up |
| 5655s | being dual officer web pits some end up |
| 5657s | being single officer web fit with a |
| 5658s | faction web we just don't know uh and we |
| 5662s | won't be able to know as only minutes |
| 5663s | left in the match and uh this Vindicator |
| 5666s | has made his way way away from everybody |
| 5669s | else because he does not want to lose |
| 5671s | and he's going towards the jump Beacon |
| 5672s | too he doesn't want to lose these |
| 5674s | modules it's a lot of money in this |
| 5676s | flagship |
| 5677s | yeah I mean maybe a little Act of Mercy |
| 5679s | from exercise would you what do you |
| 5681s | think would you show an act of mercy |
| 5682s | here |
| 5684s | every single time okay cool yeah okay |
| 5687s | we're on the same page I mean I'm from |
| 5689s | Brave you expect us not to see something |
| 5691s | yeah it was a bit of a stupid question |
| 5696s | just checking just checking out you |
| 5698s | didn't you didn't fall for my trap no no |
| 5700s | I mean they're under the Redeemer of |
| 5702s | warrior and winter 30 seconds left they |
| 5703s | should be able to kill him uh but once |
| 5706s | again Ro capella being knocked out in |
| 5708s | two Exodus will move on in to the next |
| 5712s | match I believe they are going to be up |
| 5715s | against the loser of |
| 5719s | truth on our light and barcode so that |
| 5721s | should be a fun match yeah uh as Exodus |
| 5724s | very storied team truth honor light very |
| 5726s | sorry team and barcode story does well |
| 5729s | but they're making the return after a |
| 5730s | couple years break the match is now over |
| 5732s | and we're going to send it back to a |
| 5734s | break when we return the desk will break |
| 5735s | down that much and bring us into the |
| 5737s | next match which will be uh the first |
| 5740s | upper bracket match of the day true |
| 5742s | thunder light versus barcode |
| 5744s | laughs |
| 5759s | [Music] |
| 5762s | [Applause] |
| 5777s | [Music] |
| 5790s | thank you |
| 5798s | [Music] |
| 5818s | thank you |
| 5823s | [Music] |
| 5829s | okay Sig you you are one of two people |
| 5833s | that couldn't listen and couldn't check |
| 5836s | bookmarks and find your own way out the |
| 5838s | route the entire route was literally |
| 5840s | bookmarked out to losac I bookmarked the |
| 5843s | 10 minutes in advance |
| 5845s | Exodus they're prolonging their run in |
| 5848s | Alliance tournament 19 at the expense of |
| 5850s | Road Coppell there will be no more |
| 5851s | spamming of the Mademoiselle they are |
| 5853s | eliminated from Alliance tournament 19. |
| 5855s | they do get to keep their Flagship |
| 5856s | Vindicator uh so they could sell the |
| 5859s | modules or articulate on TQ who knows uh |
| 5862s | what they want to do with it at least |
| 5863s | they didn't lose it and become an |
| 5865s | expensive killmail uh I'd say that's |
| 5867s | pretty pretty useful mystical might uh |
| 5870s | we would watch that go on there there |
| 5871s | was a bit of positioning and you were |
| 5873s | talking about the screening particularly |
| 5875s | of that Vindicator talk to me about that |
| 5876s | yeah so I think one of the pivotal |
| 5879s | moments of the match that we've just |
| 5880s | watched is the fact that the flagship |
| 5882s | Vindicator from the Rockefeller team was |
| 5884s | tackled Diamond by the Confessor of The |
| 5887s | Exodus team now the reason that this is |
| 5889s | important is it stops The Vindicator |
| 5891s | from being able to push in to The Exodus |
| 5893s | team start pinning down targets of |
| 5895s | opportunity that they want to shoot and |
| 5897s | the other reason I wanted to bring it up |
| 5898s | is that the Redeemer of the road Capel |
| 5900s | team wasn't in a position to support The |
| 5903s | Vindicator in getting rid of that tackle |
| 5905s | so we saw the Confessor remaining alive |
| 5907s | under Vindicator webs and damage for |
| 5909s | like three to four minutes until the |
| 5911s | Redeemer managed to get into range with |
| 5912s | conflag and contribute his damage as |
| 5915s | well to the Confessor once he did the |
| 5917s | Confessor basically disappeared and they |
| 5919s | could burn around the arena again but by |
| 5921s | that time I think they'd lost their |
| 5923s | crucifier |
| 5924s | um one of their command Desi's and a |
| 5926s | blackbird so they'd already lost a few |
| 5928s | important ships on their team and it |
| 5930s | kind of just snowballed from there so |
| 5932s | again it's all about positioning make |
| 5934s | sure that you're staying together |
| 5935s | especially if you only got a few key |
| 5937s | damage ships on your team because you |
| 5939s | need to be putting all of your damage |
| 5940s | into the same Target to ensure that you |
| 5942s | can freely move around the arena |
| 5944s | and actually achieve kind of some of |
| 5946s | your objectives to win awesome now Eve |
| 5949s | online famously it's a video game but I |
| 5952s | hear you ask out there in touchdown what |
| 5954s | if it wasn't a video game what else |
| 5955s | could it be well seems to be convict |
| 5957s | could you perhaps tell us yes it could |
| 5959s | also be a board game oh my God right |
| 5961s | there was actually an Eve online board |
| 5963s | game way back in the day called Eve |
| 5965s | conquests |
| 5966s | um and uh we decided it's time to |
| 5968s | venture back into those those lands |
| 5970s | because obviously a lot of Eva online |
| 5971s | players like to take Eve with them |
| 5973s | everywhere we go and so we have |
| 5974s | partnered up with a company called |
| 5976s | titanforge who are well known for making |
| 5978s | primarily Miniatures excellent |
| 5980s | miniatures by the way for various RPGs |
| 5982s | and um they've recently made a foray |
| 5985s | into the board game world uh We've play |
| 5987s | tested one of their games called |
| 5988s | lobotomy 2. it was a fantastic game and |
| 5990s | now they're going to be making the next |
| 5992s | Eve online board game for us which is |
| 5994s | going to be a strategy board game you |
| 5996s | can see some of the Fantastic Miniatures |
| 5997s | here and you've seen some of the card |
| 5998s | artwork which has actually been created |
| 6000s | by Rick's javix in addition to the box |
| 6003s | art all the stuff that you just saw on |
| 6005s | screen there is like just like work in |
| 6006s | progress demo stuff so don't worry about |
| 6008s | it the stats didn't sort of make sense |
| 6010s | with what you would expect from that |
| 6012s | particular ship or this particular ship |
| 6013s | and soon we will be launching a |
| 6016s | Kickstarter for it and the reason for |
| 6017s | the kickstarter is essentially because |
| 6018s | that lets us gauge exactly how much |
| 6020s | demand there is for something so we |
| 6022s | don't massively overproduce or massively |
| 6023s | under produce quantities of the board |
| 6025s | game but for now all we're asking people |
| 6028s | to do is go to the kickstarter page for |
| 6030s | it and sign on to be notified for when |
| 6032s | it actually launches the kickstarter |
| 6034s | campaign itself and you can either go to |
| 6036s | the Eve online website and look at the |
| 6038s | recent news articles and there's one |
| 6039s | there about the board game with the link |
| 6040s | to the kickstarter or you can go to |
| 6042s | kickstarter.com just search Eve online |
| 6044s | and it's the first thing that shows up |
| 6045s | and if you just click on the notify |
| 6047s | thing and put in your email address |
| 6048s | that's really helpful for us just so we |
| 6050s | can get an idea of what degree of |
| 6052s | enthusiasm there is at these early |
| 6053s | stages before we move into the |
| 6055s | kickstarter and then on to production of |
| 6056s | it awesome I mean I'd like to see those |
| 6058s | images again if they're still around uh |
| 6060s | production career I'd like to see if we |
| 6061s | can throw those back up because they |
| 6063s | look super cool they are so the box art |
| 6065s | looks amazing you can see all the |
| 6067s | different models and the cards and stuff |
| 6068s | off this is and that's the sign of any |
| 6070s | good strategy game exactly absolutely |
| 6072s | the Miniatures don't look really |
| 6074s | fantastic too gorgeous artwork for each |
| 6076s | ships from each of the four different |
| 6077s | races in a spread of classes you can see |
| 6079s | you've got tattoo ships there as well uh |
| 6081s | as the tech one ships that appear on |
| 6082s | some of the um other cards and that are |
| 6084s | in some of the other screenshots yeah it |
| 6086s | looks really cool I love these little |
| 6087s | models yep there's a paladin and a widow |
| 6090s | I like the color accurate as well to the |
| 6092s | different yeah different races and |
| 6093s | that's the Chronos and a Vaga and you |
| 6095s | know um the quality if you go and check |
| 6097s | out the titanforge Miniatures page the |
| 6099s | quality of their minis is exceptionally |
| 6100s | good so I'm really looking forward to |
| 6102s | like just getting these into my hands |
| 6103s | and physically holding them people might |
| 6105s | even want to paint their collections you |
| 6106s | could uh you could paint them any way |
| 6107s | you want you can even pay your own |
| 6108s | favorite Eve skins on it which all CCP |
| 6110s | Aurora will be painting them in Aurora |
| 6112s | skins if she gets she can get her hands |
| 6113s | on them she loves those things |
| 6115s | um but yeah so go go register to be |
| 6117s | notified for when the kickstarter goes |
| 6118s | live and then um uh when the actual |
| 6120s | Kickstarter is launched we'll have a lot |
| 6122s | more detail about how the gameplay and |
| 6124s | those kinds of things work I'm hoping |
| 6126s | that we get to a physical copy at CCP |
| 6129s | that we can play around on first if we |
| 6131s | do we'll try and maybe do like a stream |
| 6133s | just to show off the gameplay or |
| 6135s | something like that which would be |
| 6136s | really good yeah so they've got a good |
| 6138s | pedigree because like I said we play |
| 6139s | tested their game lobotomy too they did |
| 6141s | a great job with that and so I'm |
| 6143s | confident they'll do a really good job |
| 6144s | with the need for again okay well I |
| 6145s | can't wait to learn more about that game |
| 6147s | in the coming uh coming times all right |
| 6149s | it's time we've had enough of the losers |
| 6151s | we're back to the winners so we move |
| 6153s | into the winners bracket Overland stream |
| 6155s | 19 for our next match which is truth |
| 6157s | honor light last year's defending |
| 6159s | Champions against barcode Alliance let's |
| 6161s | take a look at the bands for this match |
| 6164s | truth on a light Banning out the pilgrim |
| 6167s | they recognized the threat of the |
| 6168s | infamous Pilgrim uh and the executive |
| 6171s | Navy issue the Scorpion Navy issue and |
| 6172s | the laches barcode with another hand |
| 6174s | going for the pontifex the Magus the |
| 6176s | curse and the Ospreys are getting rid of |
| 6178s | those armor command Destroyer links uh |
| 6181s | mystical match your thoughts on this one |
| 6182s | uh I quite like the fact that truth on a |
| 6185s | light only banned the pilgrim so |
| 6186s | oftentimes we'll see teams ban the curse |
| 6188s | the pilgrim the arbitrator crucifier if |
| 6190s | they want to remove TDS but if you're |
| 6193s | fairly confident that a team is going to |
| 6195s | ban the curse you don't need to ban the |
| 6197s | curse you can just put that ban into |
| 6198s | something else and then you don't have |
| 6199s | the situation where there's trickle |
| 6201s | bands as well |
| 6202s | um so they're effectively Banning a ship |
| 6204s | that you don't want to see I think it's |
| 6205s | also really cool that we're seeing the |
| 6207s | pontifex and Magus band out so that's |
| 6209s | going to severely limit the range of |
| 6211s | omicoms that you can bring because it |
| 6212s | means that you need to be bringing |
| 6214s | either the droga which is the triglavian |
| 6217s | command Destroyer or command battleships |
| 6219s | or battle Cruisers uh sorry Pokemon |
| 6221s | battle Cruisers or normal battle |
| 6223s | Cruisers to take up that role of armor |
| 6226s | links so I think this is a pretty |
| 6228s | interesting little band strategy here |
| 6229s | yeah and I'm being told that truth honor |
| 6231s | light are Fielding their Flagship bar |
| 6233s | guest |
| 6234s | um I have absolute confidence that this |
| 6236s | will be one of the most expensive |
| 6237s | flagships in the tournament uh truth on |
| 6240s | the light of course uh Deep Pockets we |
| 6243s | don't find out that would be ideal uh I |
| 6246s | would like to find out uh so you know |
| 6248s | that would be super interesting but yeah |
| 6249s | they're bringing that Flagship bar guest |
| 6251s | so clearly uh wanting to either Dodge |
| 6253s | something or bring the extra power |
| 6255s | projection that having that bar guest uh |
| 6258s | will allow them to do uh obviously they |
| 6260s | feel a little bit of a bit threatened |
| 6262s | perhaps by barcode you know it is a |
| 6264s | solid team uh truth on a light not going |
| 6266s | to underestimate anyone and sort of try |
| 6268s | and sandbag it and just scoot through uh |
| 6270s | definitely giving this team a lot of |
| 6271s | respect so let's hand over to the arena |
| 6273s | for barcode versus truth on a light with |
| 6275s | our casters Wagner cross and Yin tan |
| 6282s | hello everyone and welcome back to the |
| 6284s | arena here and we have a really |
| 6286s | interesting set of comps brought by |
| 6288s | these two teams once again we have a |
| 6290s | really battle cruiser heavy set up here |
| 6292s | from The Blue Team going up against a |
| 6295s | bar guest control setup and my water |
| 6298s | control setup it's going to be are you |
| 6300s | looking forward to talking through all |
| 6301s | of these ECM jams winged up oh man I can |
| 6304s | already film myself being jammed by |
| 6305s | default but it's gonna be interesting to |
| 6307s | see because these obviously blackbirds |
| 6308s | are good at turning off one two three |
| 6309s | maybe four ships this is a Max threat |
| 6312s | style car every ship is a danger they've |
| 6314s | got a lot of control on the low end as |
| 6316s | well carries Sentinel and Central |
| 6317s | actually twin Sentinels they're really |
| 6319s | providing all the evil possible but it's |
| 6321s | going to be it's gonna it can do it it's |
| 6323s | gonna be a very tall task to try and |
| 6324s | stop everyone but the match will be |
| 6326s | going away 10 seconds so we're going to |
| 6327s | see it these guys I'm screaming in are |
| 6329s | they going to try and pull away first |
| 6330s | yeah those are those Navy Cruisers here |
| 6333s | from barcode's team so the two |
| 6334s | vaccinating issues in the urban Navy |
| 6335s | issue they're going to be keying this |
| 6337s | matchup because they're going to be the |
| 6338s | ships that they can't control with |
| 6339s | either range because they don't have the |
| 6341s | tackle or all of the uh e-war that |
| 6344s | they've brought if they can get into the |
| 6345s | right position and start pressuring |
| 6346s | either video neros or some of those evil |
| 6349s | frigates they will win the match off the |
| 6351s | back of that but it looks like they're |
| 6352s | going for that and neros first just |
| 6353s | trying to utilize all of the range and |
| 6355s | application that's provided by those |
| 6357s | battles look at the control oh wow I'm |
| 6360s | sorry just you can just see that control |
| 6361s | bar go from zero to full instantly that |
| 6364s | is mental they're doing everything they |
| 6366s | can to try and blunt this charge as |
| 6367s | quickly as they can the interesting |
| 6369s | thing is that they're only DPS really in |
| 6370s | this comp is the Bargas the EOS and |
| 6372s | basically the drug look at that tugen |
| 6374s | though he's curly around the back line |
| 6375s | perfectly if he manages to avoid oh no |
| 6378s | he just got scrammed there I think by |
| 6379s | the carries but if he can make it to up |
| 6381s | to that neros drift up that will be |
| 6383s | perfect for him he's out of a logistics |
| 6386s | range and he's probably gonna |
| 6387s | potentially that's a bit too far but |
| 6390s | look at all The Tackle just pulling back |
| 6392s | towards him trying to lock him in |
| 6394s | position now over correcting for that |
| 6396s | push |
| 6397s | I think they might have pushed too hard |
| 6399s | that he's that toucan is going to go |
| 6401s | down they are putting damage still on |
| 6402s | the on the the nearest but the problem |
| 6404s | with this comp they've got is that as |
| 6405s | they lose ships that control is going to |
| 6408s | concentrate and concentrate and |
| 6410s | concentrate and really just start making |
| 6411s | it damn near impossible to do anything |
| 6414s | still ticking down that's still applying |
| 6416s | something to him but they gotta Rush |
| 6418s | they're gonna get this the guy down ASAP |
| 6421s | Priestess was webbed down for a little |
| 6423s | bit there and nearly lost his life but |
| 6424s | able to use the uh Newt power of that |
| 6427s | Sentinel to free himself and now the |
| 6428s | drawer is sitting comfortably on top of |
| 6430s | that all granavia issue just slowly |
| 6432s | whittling it down and locking in |
| 6433s | position General Hungary though still |
| 6435s | fighting for his life out there the |
| 6438s | projection the e-war is just not enough |
| 6440s | to keep the Steep DPS off of them you |
| 6442s | can see that that the Red Bar still |
| 6444s | growing for barcode that said truth on a |
| 6446s | light now really starting to come into |
| 6447s | their own with application uh they |
| 6450s | should be chipping another ship off the |
| 6452s | Realms here soon that Redeemer will not |
| 6454s | last for very long that's an Ansel rep |
| 6456s | that's keeping it up here |
| 6458s | yeah basically they're going for the |
| 6459s | theology trade here it's a bit of a race |
| 6461s | that on Earth is tanking very very well |
| 6463s | honestly the longer hungry lasts the |
| 6465s | better for his team they eat this man |
| 6466s | could potentially win or lose the match |
| 6468s | solely on his piloting right now he's |
| 6470s | doing very well also the Redeemer he's |
| 6472s | doing okay but |
| 6474s | oh look at the two the two Cruisers |
| 6476s | they're gonna get on top of him right |
| 6477s | now pasty white devil and star me in it |
| 6479s | they are right on top of that near us |
| 6480s | and that's going to be death now for |
| 6481s | General Hungary this is going to give |
| 6483s | them the one possible chance they have |
| 6484s | turned in this match they need to Now |
| 6485s | find some of these fragile Cruisers |
| 6487s | everything's been here down they now the |
| 6490s | positions are reversed they need to get |
| 6491s | on top of these small things they need |
| 6492s | to kill them quickly and regain that |
| 6495s | positional Advantage if they can take |
| 6496s | this into the late game those battle |
| 6498s | crews are going to be so much more |
| 6499s | potent than anything else left on the |
| 6501s | grid here for truth on a light other |
| 6502s | than that bar guest yeah like I've got |
| 6504s | rid of the logic so that means that the |
| 6505s | longevity is gone but the amount of |
| 6507s | control is still here all the controls |
| 6509s | still around the room that being said is |
| 6510s | very quickly down the second one going |
| 6513s | very very shortly after this they've |
| 6516s | still got their redeemer alive and the |
| 6517s | radiva is not really being oh no Casper |
| 6519s | 24 is on top of that Redeemer so they |
| 6521s | are going to be able to trade back here |
| 6522s | but they're going to need to take down a |
| 6523s | couple of Ewolf frigates on the way out |
| 6525s | yep and uh looks like they've got rid of |
| 6527s | all the light and supporting and already |
| 6529s | the controls starting to drop they're |
| 6531s | going to be going after it looks like |
| 6532s | potentially yet the Blackbirds next I |
| 6534s | very much agree that we removed that |
| 6535s | kind of last bit of control and this |
| 6537s | point it becomes a DPS race there are |
| 6539s | divas holding on a little bit longer I |
| 6541s | don't know how much long he's gonna last |
| 6542s | here but again just like I said for uh |
| 6544s | for the previous logic ship the longer |
| 6546s | we last the better it's going to be |
| 6548s | now just trying to run right at the edge |
| 6551s | of the Arena uh sorry not at the edge of |
| 6553s | everything I'm right at the center but |
| 6554s | just trying to stay away from that blob |
| 6556s | trying to make sure that when they |
| 6557s | eventually do turn on him that he can |
| 6558s | last for as long as humanly possible now |
| 6560s | it's just gonna be a matter of time for |
| 6562s | all of this e-war getting taken out oh |
| 6564s | my God |
| 6566s | look at that man he's barely holding on |
| 6568s | an army he's about to drop into Hull he |
| 6570s | would die very quickly there but that |
| 6572s | man just buying every second he can |
| 6573s | there he goes but a while backwards then |
| 6576s | the other one's still there they're |
| 6577s | going for the dragon as well it's |
| 6578s | actually a good chunk of DPS for this |
| 6579s | comp this is a crazy race |
| 6582s | this is crazy but it's now really tilted |
| 6584s | in the favor of barcode look at how big |
| 6586s | that remaining gray bar is that is the |
| 6588s | potential DPS that they can put out on |
| 6590s | the grid not the um the actual DPS they |
| 6593s | are putting out and it is humongous it's |
| 6594s | nearly double what that what truth on a |
| 6596s | light is bringing to the field here |
| 6598s | they're taking out this drawer with that |
| 6600s | that we only won major DPS ship left on |
| 6602s | the grid it would be up to night hinkin |
| 6604s | to just pull this out of the bag for |
| 6606s | truth on a light |
| 6608s | yep yep yep the drug is about to go down |
| 6610s | also I love seeing of course |
| 6611s | brainstorming and traditional carries |
| 6613s | he's just sitting out on a jump |
| 6613s | beginning right now so if anyone goes |
| 6615s | after the cash carries he will just mjd |
| 6617s | away very smart call he's still |
| 6619s | providing full effect in the distance |
| 6620s | Vector Navy is get about to get in the |
| 6623s | hole vaccine name is usually incredibly |
| 6624s | bloody tanky but I suppose when you're |
| 6626s | looking at this grid that is the thing |
| 6627s | you can get the best chance of killing |
| 6629s | and yeah he's about to go yeah those |
| 6631s | those Navy Cruiser pilots from uh |
| 6634s | barcode here just piloted excellently |
| 6636s | they managed to execute a perfect |
| 6638s | they're going for the bug here we go |
| 6639s | earlier on in the game and they've kept |
| 6641s | themselves alive for so so long versus |
| 6643s | uh you know a composition that should |
| 6645s | have every chance of killing them if |
| 6648s | they can catch them they are all inning |
| 6650s | the flag now they are going for you see |
| 6651s | their entire Team Battle cruise is just |
| 6653s | screaming after this Vargas they want |
| 6655s | that juice to kill they want that last |
| 6656s | their DPS gone the dragger is still |
| 6658s | dying somewhere in the grid there he |
| 6660s | goes pop oh my God I mean take your bets |
| 6663s | everyone how much purple is going to be |
| 6665s | on this bar guest truth on a light not |
| 6667s | known for their poverty kind of |
| 6670s | influisingly known for being one of the |
| 6672s | best teams obviously took last year and |
| 6675s | here they're gonna get knocked down to |
| 6676s | losers in the first weekend |
| 6679s | it's yeah this bug is of course flying |
| 6682s | very well doing an amazing job the good |
| 6683s | thing about bugs they can basically |
| 6684s | self-peel their tackle off of them the |
| 6686s | problem is that this is not the problem |
| 6688s | these guys can shoot him a good distance |
| 6690s | he actually does kill the Confessor |
| 6692s | basically on his own with the EOS so the |
| 6694s | last tackle that could potentially catch |
| 6695s | him just died |
| 6697s | in Channel points about to be |
| 6700s | redistributed extremely equitably to |
| 6702s | those barcode Believers in chat I'm one |
| 6706s | of them baby I bet for them I went on |
| 6707s | barcode here |
| 6710s | oh man but the pancake the pancakes |
| 6713s | having a real bad day he's into hell |
| 6714s | Flagship bug is about to go down and |
| 6717s | this is the job at the max threat |
| 6718s | there's still so much DPS on the grid |
| 6720s | they've killed like half the team |
| 6721s | there's still five full DPS ships just |
| 6724s | ready to kill oh let's get that let's |
| 6726s | get the reaction there we go |
| 6729s | oh my God Flag bug down from the |
| 6734s | previous wins wow |
| 6737s | Casper goes down to pop |
| 6740s | ggs and local big respect from these |
| 6742s | teams both for flight flews amazingly |
| 6744s | well |
| 6745s | and now it's just an EOS left just uh |
| 6747s | questioning his life choices I think |
| 6750s | he's actually he's doing another EOS |
| 6751s | actually there's a twin EOS hug box over |
| 6754s | there |
| 6755s | what a game oh my Lord I've got a really |
| 6759s | really good cool hair we've seen once |
| 6761s | again another Max threat slash pseudo |
| 6763s | dad setup just take the absolute W here |
| 6766s | they I I think truth or like must have |
| 6769s | thought that they banned it out but you |
| 6771s | know I I can't see how it feels like you |
| 6773s | can't do it yeah just the eni band isn't |
| 6775s | enough the EOS is a really curious |
| 6777s | choice but it played so so well in this |
| 6779s | match without those EOS drones there was |
| 6781s | no way they would have finished off that |
| 6782s | and near us later on in the game |
| 6785s | yeah |
| 6787s | yeah it is it is very well flown this is |
| 6791s | why I love DPS so damn much you can |
| 6793s | control your one but nothing beats you |
| 6794s | know well in my mind blasters but the |
| 6797s | same idea I don't think beats damage |
| 6798s | sometimes Bravo |
| 6803s | well with that we're gonna get back to |
| 6804s | the studio and see what they think |
| 6826s | [Music] |
| 6829s | [Applause] |
| 6835s | [Music] |
| 6838s | ready for yourself |
| 6850s | [Music] |
| 6851s | [Applause] |
| 6853s | [Music] |
| 6855s | [Applause] |
| 6859s | [Music] |
| 6865s | guys stop being casual they're really |
| 6868s | bad we should not lose anybody to this |
| 6870s | warp off take the fleet warp everybody |
| 6873s | warp off this is a really really bad |
| 6874s | execution I'm very disappointed |
| 6880s | rain are you in the armor Vagabond or |
| 6882s | something no um I've got Axel ISP |
| 6888s | polarized gun for us |
| 6890s | laughs |
| 6896s | an unexpected upset there truth honor |
| 6899s | light not only do they drop to the |
| 6900s | elimination bracket they lose their |
| 6902s | Flagship bar guest we're just waiting |
| 6904s | for the kill mail ad and we'll get that |
| 6906s | to you as soon as possible barcode |
| 6908s | they're going to be extremely pleased |
| 6909s | with themselves there that was a match I |
| 6912s | don't think many people expected them to |
| 6913s | win I think a lot of people expected |
| 6914s | them to at least give truth on our light |
| 6915s | a good run for the money truth on a |
| 6918s | light of course last year's defending |
| 6919s | Champions and you know as as intan said |
| 6922s | they are not poverty players they can |
| 6924s | definitely uh splash some cash and |
| 6926s | really pimp the ever living heck out of |
| 6928s | that Bargas so I assume this is uh this |
| 6930s | is really really top end so depending |
| 6932s | what dropped barcode you're gonna be |
| 6934s | able to just up the power level of their |
| 6936s | bar guest uh in terms of what else went |
| 6938s | poof a lot of Channel points uh one |
| 6941s | individual who shall remain nameless for |
| 6943s | uh for privacy sake lost 130 000 Channel |
| 6947s | points uh on their own uh in total 2.3 |
| 6950s | million Channel points uh have been |
| 6952s | redistributed across uh the the rest of |
| 6956s | the people but it's fine we have a |
| 6957s | consolidation price for 2008 is the uh |
| 6959s | the uh strategy guide to uh new Eden how |
| 6963s | to play Eve online uh it is probably |
| 6966s | still relatively accurate uh although it |
| 6968s | does say the Minotaur Fleet and then use |
| 6970s | a megathron uh which I find kind of |
| 6972s | interesting especially because I believe |
| 6974s | it also uses the megathon for the |
| 6976s | galante fleet |
| 6978s | um and it thinks that there's some uh |
| 6981s | frigates that are Cruisers so |
| 6987s | some of the most experienced part I |
| 6989s | don't want to do with this |
| 6991s | some of the most experienced pilots in |
| 6992s | the game |
| 6993s | um Kadesh Priestess of course uh been a |
| 6996s | long time tournament pilot uh maintainer |
| 6998s | of PIFA which is an incredible tool and |
| 7000s | we thank him Tyler's efforts tireless |
| 7002s | work on that but still like we were |
| 7004s | watching that in the studio that was an |
| 7007s | upset Mr gomat yeah I I think most |
| 7009s | people expected truth on a light to win |
| 7011s | I think that's shown in the point |
| 7013s | distribution that we saw in the bets I |
| 7016s | I've been asked to tell that the |
| 7017s | Audience by the way that they can type |
| 7018s | exclamation mark refund uh if they have |
| 7021s | lost their Channel points uh yeah you'll |
| 7023s | get those back yeah you definitely click |
| 7024s | the link that pops up no it's not sassy |
| 7027s | at all that's fine |
| 7029s | um yeah no I think this showcases again |
| 7031s | the power of having multiple DPS ships |
| 7034s | in your comp we saw truth on the light |
| 7036s | bring what is a very strong control |
| 7038s | setup there were two Sentinels and two |
| 7040s | blackbirds and the carries all focused |
| 7042s | on minimizing the damaged potential of |
| 7044s | the barcode team and what barcode were |
| 7047s | able to do was just burn some of their |
| 7049s | DPS ships onto that in Eros because you |
| 7051s | can't pin them all down and eventually |
| 7052s | the nearest dies so again just DPS spam |
| 7056s | really great as long as you can execute |
| 7058s | it properly it works really well it was |
| 7060s | kind of touch and go for a bit we |
| 7062s | weren't quite sure whether barcode were |
| 7063s | going to be able to win I think that the |
| 7066s | truth on a light team if they had more |
| 7068s | than two DPS ships really the EOS is |
| 7070s | like half a DPS ship so one and a half |
| 7071s | DPS ships they may have been able to win |
| 7073s | but with such minimal damage coming out |
| 7076s | that you can't break through the team at |
| 7079s | any quick pace so you just have to chip |
| 7081s | away at them and yeah we saw how that |
| 7083s | sometimes goes poorly yeah one of the |
| 7085s | things that really amazed me watching |
| 7087s | that match was the sheer amount of e-war |
| 7088s | that was coming out of that truth on a |
| 7090s | light team uh dual Blackboard dual |
| 7092s | Sentinel the amount of effect on the |
| 7094s | tournament UI uh it was wild and I think |
| 7097s | we have a primer video we could maybe |
| 7098s | throw up about the tournament UI that'd |
| 7100s | be pretty cool and we saw the control |
| 7101s | bar uh maximum girth all the way across |
| 7105s | just fulfill uh and to be honest it |
| 7107s | looked like barcode were definitely |
| 7109s | going to be on the e-war back foot but |
| 7111s | they they're able to just sort of like |
| 7113s | push their way through it I mean Mr |
| 7115s | might you were showing me uh some |
| 7116s | Discord people were taking screenshots |
| 7117s | of just the shipment of e-war uh that |
| 7120s | landed on top of that team there uh |
| 7122s | pretty intense but uh please Alice |
| 7125s | you've joined us as well uh we were |
| 7127s | talking about tournaments and you're the |
| 7128s | the tournament man how are you today I'm |
| 7131s | doing a terrific thank you very much |
| 7132s | everyone's kind of playing by the rules |
| 7135s | you know the the trying to there's a lot |
| 7138s | of boosters that still need sewing out |
| 7139s | but you know what they're doing pretty |
| 7141s | good so let's talk a little bit about |
| 7143s | the process of maybe like running a |
| 7145s | match uh how does it work so I like you |
| 7148s | know from the referee side what goes on |
| 7150s | right from the start so usually for |
| 7152s | um Regular matches there's actually uh |
| 7155s | two teams of two referees uh running uh |
| 7158s | a series of four matches at any one time |
| 7160s | so the one one match that you're seeing |
| 7163s | being set up on the the screen at the |
| 7164s | moment there will be three other matches |
| 7165s | behind it also in the in the process of |
| 7167s | uh being set up so you normally have a |
| 7170s | conversation with a GM currently this |
| 7172s | year uh well they'll take uh your |
| 7174s | information for like your bands so what |
| 7176s | ships you want to ban then they'll |
| 7178s | collate them and exchange them across |
| 7180s | the teams and then they'll take things |
| 7182s | like uh what Beacon you want so as you |
| 7185s | see the actual Arena there's four |
| 7187s | positions around the arena where they |
| 7189s | can potentially warp him from from |
| 7190s | different sites and you know |
| 7192s | coordinating which one of those you'd |
| 7194s | like it's normally it's given us an |
| 7196s | option you don't have have to give it |
| 7197s | sometimes we'll randomize it if they |
| 7199s | don't give us a particular one for that |
| 7200s | it's not a requirement |
| 7202s | um and then we'll assign them |
| 7204s | everyone will then be getting set up and |
| 7206s | into their particular ships and then we |
| 7208s | start going through one at a time |
| 7209s | checking out is this making sure they're |
| 7212s | following the rules so making sure the |
| 7213s | pilot is valid as in their part of the |
| 7215s | roster uh making sure the ships are all |
| 7218s | correct making sure all the points are |
| 7220s | correct so just making sure everything's |
| 7222s | as it should be as per the rules uh then |
| 7225s | once everything's all good with that we |
| 7227s | then pull them back into the system for |
| 7229s | where the uh actual match is going to |
| 7231s | happen and we then go through a series |
| 7235s | of events again so once they're brought |
| 7236s | into system we hold them in place for a |
| 7238s | little while uh just make sure |
| 7240s | everything again is all working as it |
| 7242s | should be and then we allow them to walk |
| 7244s | to the arena between 0 and 50 kilometers |
| 7247s | and you then pass over to the arena and |
| 7250s | you hear your commentary awesome I |
| 7252s | remember when I was uh captaining for |
| 7254s | some stuff interviewers I used to have a |
| 7256s | D4 and I just rolled the dice for the |
| 7258s | the beacon selection I didn't trust |
| 7260s | myself to pick it we've had some funny |
| 7262s | ones over the years we've even had |
| 7263s | pictures sent across with uh people have |
| 7265s | made like a polystyrene dartboard where |
| 7267s | they've sat there and I'm yeah okay |
| 7268s | we're going to that one today yes it's |
| 7270s | great I like that strategy I'm being |
| 7272s | told that the kill Mill for the truth or |
| 7274s | like Flagship bar guest is available so |
| 7276s | let's see if we can take a quick look at |
| 7277s | that and it is a bit of a Whopper listed |
| 7281s | on Zed kill uh 106 billion uh of your |
| 7285s | finest Interstellar credits uh that new |
| 7287s | Eden can possibly Supply |
| 7289s | um and I'm looking at the kill mail here |
| 7291s | a full rack of estimel's modified rappy |
| 7294s | hit rapid heavy missile launchers uh so |
| 7298s | three of them alone are 25.5 Bill three |
| 7301s | dropped so that's a 25 billion in uh |
| 7304s | launchers right there the other four |
| 7306s | other three of them sorry destroyed one |
| 7308s | stml smart bomb as well quite expensive |
| 7311s | but we gotta go down to the low slots |
| 7313s | where we see a unit w634 modified damage |
| 7317s | control |
| 7318s | 35.8 billion isk that is a uh that is a |
| 7322s | space see lost mail for the truth or |
| 7325s | light team there uh mystical might |
| 7328s | that's gotta hurt I wouldn't know I'm on |
| 7330s | the fraternity team interesting don't |
| 7333s | worry about the don't worry about the |
| 7335s | markets fine I don't know these guys |
| 7336s | okay it's it's painful |
| 7340s | um we were discussing it just after the |
| 7341s | match losing the barges means that the |
| 7343s | Banning strategy against truth on a |
| 7345s | light changes a bit but I also think |
| 7347s | that truth on the light is one of the |
| 7348s | few teams that doesn't build comps |
| 7350s | around flagships it's just an additional |
| 7353s | that you can throw in to make it |
| 7354s | stronger so it's not gonna make or break |
| 7356s | comps but you know it it definitely |
| 7360s | isn't going to be a fun a fun feeling |
| 7362s | but it does mean they're going to make |
| 7363s | more isk off with their skins now more |
| 7364s | matches means more skins Silver Lining |
| 7367s | Silver Lining Silver Lining unless you |
| 7368s | lose more matches in which case you know |
| 7370s | all right speaking of matches we have |
| 7372s | another one coming up in just a few |
| 7373s | minutes and I should mention by the way |
| 7375s | barcode by virtue of now going to know |
| 7377s | guaranteed top 12 guaranteed price ships |
| 7380s | so they've got at least a couple of |
| 7381s | prize ships now our next match in the |
| 7383s | winners bracket the crafts versus |
| 7384s | goonsworm Federation again if whoever |
| 7387s | wins this 2-0 guaranteeing themselves |
| 7389s | top 12 and price ships that's pretty |
| 7390s | good let's look at the bands for this |
| 7392s | match so Jakarta is going balgorn which |
| 7394s | I think is a bit of an interesting one |
| 7395s | Scimitar Vindicator executor Navy issue |
| 7398s | and guns doing a badon Armageddon Navy |
| 7401s | issue Le Shack and unneros and it looks |
| 7404s | like goodons declaring they're going to |
| 7406s | bring a flagship Armageddon Navy |
| 7407s | mystical might what are your thoughts on |
| 7409s | these bands here what an exciting set of |
| 7411s | bands I think this is the first time we |
| 7413s | haven't seen well maybe not the first |
| 7415s | time but first time in the long term |
| 7416s | that we haven't seen any evil band at |
| 7418s | all of any type so that should be quite |
| 7421s | exciting to see there's a full range of |
| 7423s | tracking disruptors guidance disruptors |
| 7425s | damps jams available uh so yeah I think |
| 7428s | that should be quite cool and also just |
| 7430s | quick to note these are both Imperium |
| 7432s | allowances so they are fighting |
| 7433s | themselves for some 80 ships it should |
| 7435s | be a good one to watch it should be uh |
| 7438s | the Battleground certainly I feel it's |
| 7439s | an interesting use of a ban what do you |
| 7442s | think I mean the balgones kinda so |
| 7447s | I think it's an interesting ban I think |
| 7450s | it's kind of wasted I think it's wasted |
| 7452s | bam but it's also potentially that these |
| 7454s | two teams are practicing against against |
| 7456s | each other due to their TQ relationship |
| 7457s | which means that they may be aware of |
| 7460s | the strengths and weaknesses of their |
| 7462s | respective teams and they know that the |
| 7464s | Swarm team likes Falcons it's a |
| 7467s | possibility but we don't know who the |
| 7468s | practice partners are so it's just a an |
| 7470s | educated guess perhaps all right well |
| 7472s | let's find out which of these Imperium |
| 7473s | aligned teams can take home prize ships |
| 7476s | as we go for goods run Federation versus |
| 7478s | jakaris with your casters through Viner |
| 7480s | and the basil |
| 7484s | yeah welcome back to the area sorry go |
| 7488s | ahead I thought that was going to be my |
| 7490s | intro but yeah we're good I had a brain |
| 7492s | fall look at these comps welcome back to |
| 7494s | the arena on the red side it is dracaris |
| 7497s | who have brought pseudo dad and what |
| 7498s | have goons brought on the balloon side |
| 7500s | they've brought something a little bit |
| 7501s | unusual here so this is looking at the |
| 7503s | model it's a flagship I'm gonna get a |
| 7505s | Navy issue to start with but it's got no |
| 7507s | no turret launches so this is presumably |
| 7509s | a full new Armageddon Navy so their |
| 7511s | damage is going to be pretty low here |
| 7512s | with just the new game maybe they've got |
| 7513s | an EOS a sacrilege and they're going to |
| 7515s | rely on the spalling of the drowger and |
| 7516s | the nurgle plus the ogre Navy so coming |
| 7519s | up against this |
| 7521s | golfed gun spam I want to call it |
| 7523s | because they haven't actually got any |
| 7524s | command ships no Absolution Noah |
| 7526s | starting which means they aren't going |
| 7527s | to have the benefit of those Command |
| 7528s | Ship buffed links so they are they may |
| 7530s | have you know six eight links if they're |
| 7532s | depending how they're fit but they're |
| 7533s | not gonna have that extra strength from |
| 7534s | the command ship bonus and those resist |
| 7536s | Buffs the e-war Buffs not in this |
| 7538s | particular match but just in general the |
| 7539s | link strength is is quite important |
| 7541s | did you ever carries an amalus and |
| 7543s | they're able to get right onto the |
| 7544s | malice of goon swarm and delete them |
| 7546s | straight off the start of the match and |
| 7548s | then I'm going around the Navy getting |
| 7549s | and guardian so dab War definitely going |
| 7551s | in favor of jakaris off the start of the |
| 7553s | match they're also starting to pick off |
| 7554s | this jogger and this is kind of the |
| 7556s | problem when you bring a command |
| 7558s | Destroyer up against uh the pseudod type |
| 7561s | setups they're very very good at killing |
| 7563s | Commander stories greatly there's a |
| 7565s | guardian to try to keep uh Trainer Air |
| 7567s | up and running at the moment as goons |
| 7569s | are trying to get some damage in all of |
| 7570s | those carries but uh the stronger nurgle |
| 7572s | gonna be so key for goons assuming |
| 7575s | they're able to keep this up yeah the |
| 7577s | thing for um |
| 7579s | for drakaris here is is sorry for goon |
| 7582s | series they want to have no easy targets |
| 7584s | right the guardian wraps are going to be |
| 7585s | very hard to break through there's going |
| 7586s | to be capacitor issues at the end when |
| 7588s | maybe armageddon's done his time muting |
| 7590s | out the Navy prophecy the navy blue |
| 7591s | sixes as they burn around |
| 7593s | um so they're just they just want to try |
| 7594s | and hold hold here you know just try and |
| 7595s | hold steady see if they can break |
| 7597s | through break through something but try |
| 7598s | and make some progress in the |
| 7599s | attritional sense in terms of cap |
| 7601s | charges positioning losing them or less |
| 7604s | it's it's not great obviously but I |
| 7606s | don't think it really hurts their |
| 7607s | chances in the match they haven't lost |
| 7609s | any of their DPS they haven't lost any |
| 7610s | of their more core ships here the |
| 7612s | moreless is you know it's like an extra |
| 7614s | little bonus |
| 7615s | um but it's not going to make or break |
| 7616s | the match I don't think |
| 7618s | yeah something we haven't talked about |
| 7619s | all that much with Flagship getting wait |
| 7622s | is this buffer foot no okay he's got a |
| 7624s | rep uh no wait this is not |
| 7627s | I was about to say it's Flagship |
| 7629s | government got Navy issues don't really |
| 7630s | require a whole lot of purple mods to be |
| 7632s | good yes a purple web is very nice to |
| 7634s | have on them but a lot of the ships a |
| 7636s | lot of the items that Armageddon Navy |
| 7637s | issues are bonus to are uh and used very |
| 7640s | effectively you can use x types and be |
| 7642s | fine with them uh especially with these |
| 7644s | full new get Navy issues I assume this |
| 7646s | is going to be a full ride of X Type |
| 7647s | newts uh maybe some C types for fitting |
| 7650s | or something like that it really depends |
| 7652s | uh Ranch does have an X-Type wrapper at |
| 7654s | least one it was just bait tanking for a |
| 7656s | little bit so he's back up to full armor |
| 7658s | as the match starts grinding away uh |
| 7661s | there's gonna be a lot of poking and |
| 7662s | prodding from drakaris uh Grant you both |
| 7665s | these teams uh not teams people expected |
| 7667s | to even make it to the second round of |
| 7669s | this tournament a lot of the times goons |
| 7670s | uh have participated in a lot of ATS but |
| 7672s | I haven't had a whole lot of success and |
| 7673s | once again this is dracars's first year |
| 7675s | in the alliance tournament and they're |
| 7676s | making quite the showing for it yeah |
| 7679s | through through virtue of whether you're |
| 7681s | you know whether you consider it luck or |
| 7683s | marble skill they have successfully |
| 7685s | navigated themselves into a bracket |
| 7686s | where they will |
| 7688s | um secure top 12 from winning this match |
| 7690s | against their Imperium allies but of |
| 7691s | course as is always the case in the at |
| 7693s | you can only ever beat what is in front |
| 7694s | of you and they've done that so far and |
| 7696s | both these teams looking to continue |
| 7697s | that as actually newts have come off of |
| 7700s | those battle Cruisers the damps from the |
| 7702s | carries and the mawlers have been |
| 7703s | applied to maybe Armageddon so that new |
| 7704s | pressure is applying they are starting |
| 7705s | to get back on now and then maybe |
| 7706s | prophecy actually of Scott J gets webbed |
| 7707s | scrammed here so they may be trying to |
| 7709s | put damage onto him I wonder if they'll |
| 7711s | might maybe try and switch the new |
| 7712s | pressure onto the augural we've seen |
| 7713s | them |
| 7714s | goes down and that's going to be a |
| 7716s | significant portion of their DPS |
| 7718s | I mean it is the single highest EPS ship |
| 7721s | on their team and they're on a nurgle as |
| 7723s | well this man has an ADC available to |
| 7724s | him so he will live for a little bit |
| 7726s | longer but if this Guardian can't keep |
| 7727s | him up |
| 7728s | after the games DC goes down |
| 7731s | and we'll be a dead Nur goal I'm the |
| 7732s | only DPS left on the field will be this |
| 7734s | e Austin sacrilege which don't do a |
| 7736s | whole lot uh on their own we can see the |
| 7739s | attack bar much much larger for the side |
| 7742s | of jakartis right now as the snare goal |
| 7743s | dips into structure should end up |
| 7745s | falling and it does yeah we see damps on |
| 7747s | the guardian as well then the guardian |
| 7748s | obviously in two mid slots doesn't have |
| 7750s | a local sibo I'm sure of it so you've |
| 7752s | got to rely on these receivers being |
| 7754s | enough and if they're not enough and |
| 7755s | your lock range gets down to 20K and the |
| 7757s | drug is 22k away well he's dead and it |
| 7759s | can be very difficult to stay compact |
| 7761s | enough |
| 7762s | um and you know be able to get those |
| 7763s | reps out to the things and make sure |
| 7765s | that they can be held while also |
| 7766s | actually making an aggressive move and |
| 7768s | trying to get on top of something |
| 7769s | damage onto the guardian as well and |
| 7771s | Padre is dead |
| 7773s | and with that I think jakaris should |
| 7776s | have an easy time cleaning up the rest |
| 7777s | of this match uh full new good Navy |
| 7779s | Flagship uh this is something that I |
| 7782s | would be curious to see if we see again |
| 7784s | uh throughout the tournament uh because |
| 7787s | it is a versatile ship you can't fit |
| 7789s | guns you can fit rabbit Heavies you can |
| 7790s | go for full newts uh because it's bonus |
| 7792s | to all three of those things |
| 7794s | um that said Jakarta should have an easy |
| 7796s | time cleaning up the rest of goons form |
| 7798s | without their logic they're on the |
| 7799s | Dexter Navy and vexer uh from guns war |
| 7802s | and they still have their auger up |
| 7804s | keeping this on the Navy issue alive uh |
| 7806s | even with these damps uh going out the |
| 7808s | Navy Army Garden is able to get some |
| 7809s | notes on this Navy prophecy some new |
| 7811s | some of the Vigilant maybe auger but uh |
| 7813s | even though this Nami open is tackled |
| 7815s | there isn't a whole lot of DPS left in |
| 7817s | the tank uh for goon swarm |
| 7819s | now we have five minutes left and it's a |
| 7822s | fairly High DPS com and I am on Flagship |
| 7824s | watch there is a flagship on the grid |
| 7826s | rancher in that Navy Armageddon is the |
| 7828s | Goon swarm Federation Flagship will they |
| 7830s | kill him will they reveal the contents |
| 7832s | of his innards I sure hope so because we |
| 7835s | were well I mean we were we were saying |
| 7837s | we would have loved to cast that last |
| 7838s | match I mean the match before that the |
| 7840s | flagship was spared proxy was granted uh |
| 7843s | you know a relief from execution |
| 7845s | knitting not so lucky last time around |
| 7847s | in that bargos we are we going to see |
| 7849s | Ranch get similar treatment here of just |
| 7851s | against the wall show me your mods |
| 7854s | fj5000 goes down I mean uh goon swarm |
| 7857s | there are a fairly Rich Alliance I have |
| 7859s | probably the single highest production |
| 7862s | of any Alliance in the game so I would |
| 7866s | be interested to see how much uh of that |
| 7868s | wealth goes in towards this arm again |
| 7870s | Navy issue I assume it's going to be |
| 7872s | X-Type newts just because there isn't a |
| 7874s | huge difference in the officer newts and |
| 7876s | the high slots but we might see an |
| 7878s | officer damage control we might see uh |
| 7880s | potentially an officer web or something |
| 7882s | like that on the ship although uh |
| 7883s | doesn't really look like it because it's |
| 7885s | not really been able to web a whole lot |
| 7887s | uh this match |
| 7893s | Navy issue are soon to go down as well |
| 7895s | and yes the DPS from jakaris is on to |
| 7898s | that flight get Navy |
| 7900s | there's a couple of ships in this in |
| 7902s | this match that I want to ask you about |
| 7903s | um while these guys wrap up they are |
| 7904s | going to kill the Navy Armageddon here |
| 7905s | he goes kill mail but going to be |
| 7907s | generated I'm sure the guys on on the |
| 7908s | cast afterwards on the analyst desk will |
| 7910s | be able to pop that up on your screens |
| 7911s | and see what this guy was rocking but |
| 7913s | just going back to that the sacrilege |
| 7914s | and the Vigilant these are two ships |
| 7915s | that we don't really see very often one |
| 7917s | on each side here what do you make of |
| 7918s | those |
| 7919s | uh I mean we've seen the visual in a |
| 7921s | couple of times as a drop in replacement |
| 7923s | for the exact Navy when it's been banned |
| 7925s | out you take a Vigilant plus like uh |
| 7927s | some sort of e-warship instead because |
| 7929s | the visual and you can still fit with |
| 7930s | rails and as those bonus webs uh so it |
| 7933s | can still be pretty nice sacrilege |
| 7934s | though uh we don't see a whole lot of |
| 7936s | hacks in the at uh we see a lot of |
| 7938s | heaviest uh heavy assault frigates we |
| 7941s | don't see a whole lot of Acts in the at |
| 7943s | and that's mostly because uh they don't |
| 7945s | have a whole lot of utility yes they're |
| 7947s | very tanky for the burst period where |
| 7949s | their ADC is on but other than that they |
| 7952s | really are just kind of slightly better |
| 7955s | tech one Cruisers and worth a lot more |
| 7957s | points than a Navy Cruiser which at the |
| 7960s | same time you can get more ehp uh on |
| 7963s | some Navy Cruisers uh without that ADC |
| 7966s | then uh an assault Cruiser without the |
| 7968s | ADC as well so uh with Target switching |
| 7971s | ends up being about the same this EOS is |
| 7974s | about to go down uh I'm curious to the |
| 7976s | flagship fit we'll see it on the desk |
| 7978s | but |
| 7979s | first we're going to take a little break |
| 7980s | when we return dusk will break that |
| 7982s | match down and bring us into the next |
| 7983s | match which will be testers versus paper |
| 7985s | numbers |
| 8002s | [Music] |
| 8005s | [Applause] |
| 8011s | [Music] |
| 8025s | ass |
| 8036s | there's nothing back there for you and I |
| 8038s | see Mom here and I see full control |
| 8042s | help |
| 8047s | it's something when angry dude they |
| 8048s | weren't angry before kill him which |
| 8051s | which one is grabbing it's on the clock |
| 8053s | owned by Reds not like this kill the |
| 8056s | rats |
| 8062s | I was yellow to these it's dead |
| 8067s | they were white a second ago and then he |
| 8069s | just got all Angry |
| 8074s | jakaya's the number one Imperium |
| 8076s | Alliance right now as they knock goodon |
| 8078s | storm Federation down into the |
| 8080s | elimination bracket uh pretty |
| 8082s | interesting match uh lots of back and |
| 8084s | forward but in the end it really was |
| 8086s | just that Ricardo's taking uh that |
| 8088s | pretty solid W uh to secure themselves a |
| 8090s | spot they get to go on and face a |
| 8092s | barcode uh later on uh so they'll be |
| 8095s | pretty pleased with that to screwing |
| 8096s | themselves price chips as well uh when |
| 8098s | we talk about them a little bit later |
| 8099s | but I did want to uh make a quick |
| 8100s | announcement uh software self said I can |
| 8103s | officially finally confirm anger game |
| 8105s | six uh I've been confirming it now for |
| 8107s | months and months |
| 8108s | um apparently those weren't official |
| 8110s | confirmations but now I'm told I can |
| 8112s | actually officially confirm anger game |
| 8113s | six |
| 8114s | um it's looking like it's going to be |
| 8115s | early next year uh with details being |
| 8117s | announced in December and they are |
| 8120s | looking to hear people's real ideas they |
| 8122s | haven't really kind of finalized a rule |
| 8123s | system yet uh so you know please message |
| 8126s | directly softer cell and Dirk the |
| 8128s | organizers uh with some you know crazy |
| 8131s | ideas I'm sure they'll be uh always |
| 8132s | looking for new stuff they do like to |
| 8134s | experiment change things around a little |
| 8135s | bit to 7v7 tournament and they're also |
| 8138s | looking for people to help run it so if |
| 8139s | you've ever thought hey this tournament |
| 8141s | stuff looks easy uh yeah maybe maybe |
| 8143s | help out |
| 8145s | um he also says that they're thinking |
| 8147s | about getting rid of feeders and |
| 8148s | exploring other formats other than |
| 8149s | double elimination so certainly some |
| 8151s | interesting things to uh look forward to |
| 8154s | coming out of the uh the sort of Soul |
| 8156s | Skunk Works over there now excuse me |
| 8158s | South you'll be supporting this yes I |
| 8160s | mean one of the things I obviously early |
| 8161s | in the year we had the captain's cup run |
| 8163s | by jintan one of the commentators that |
| 8165s | we've got here at the moment |
| 8167s | um I just love organizing or helping out |
| 8170s | with the organization just you know |
| 8171s | playing around with the theory crafting |
| 8173s | that they like to like we like to have |
| 8175s | in these uh more Community run |
| 8178s | tournaments they're pretty fun because |
| 8180s | obviously the alliance tournament is |
| 8182s | kind of established with a particular |
| 8183s | format so when we come around to doing |
| 8186s | more of the community run once you can |
| 8187s | have absolutely wild ideas |
| 8190s | um it was exploring these wild ideas |
| 8192s | that we came up with the the way that |
| 8194s | the the arena looks today where you've |
| 8196s | got a couple of new objects that's just |
| 8198s | around the arena just to give it a |
| 8199s | little bit more geography one of the fun |
| 8201s | things we kind of messed around with a |
| 8203s | little bit uh during the the uh |
| 8204s | Captain's cup was we put like a speed |
| 8208s | cloud in the middle of the arena for one |
| 8209s | of the games uh just to fire people |
| 8211s | around uh getting getting from one side |
| 8214s | of the Arena to the other uh but we'll |
| 8215s | we kind of learned things at the same |
| 8217s | time it turns out that when you go |
| 8218s | really really fast it's really really |
| 8219s | hard to track uh so you know we're |
| 8222s | learning things as we're doing them so |
| 8223s | but they're great fun |
| 8225s | um there's lots of cool ideas that come |
| 8227s | out of it some of them end up getting |
| 8229s | adopted into the alliance tournament |
| 8231s | where |
| 8231s | they sometimes work and sometimes they |
| 8234s | don't we try them out if they don't work |
| 8235s | you know we'll move them and try and uh |
| 8237s | change it again next year so if I if I |
| 8239s | want to maybe start to look at |
| 8241s | organizing my own tournament like I'm |
| 8242s | fed up playing in these gosh darn the |
| 8244s | Lions tournaments and anger games I |
| 8246s | don't want to be angry I don't want to |
| 8247s | be an alliance I just want to do some |
| 8249s | sort of tournament thing and I want to |
| 8250s | run my own uh what do I do please be |
| 8252s | zealous I never know why they're always |
| 8254s | so angry in the younger games but uh |
| 8256s | anyways |
| 8259s | all right okay |
| 8261s | um so if you if you're looking at |
| 8263s | running a tournament uh absolutely you |
| 8264s | can get in touch with myself and I'll |
| 8266s | help you with the general organization |
| 8267s | I've set up with a little like a |
| 8270s | document per se that just gives you a |
| 8271s | rough idea of uh things that we'll be |
| 8273s | looking for to help you with the |
| 8275s | organization of it uh but things like |
| 8277s | access to Thunderdome which is obviously |
| 8279s | our tournament server uh is is the |
| 8281s | easiest way that we can start playing |
| 8283s | around with different ideas and formats |
| 8285s | uh or alternatively you can just get in |
| 8287s | touch with the community team send in a |
| 8288s | ticket or drop an email across to us and |
| 8291s | I'll pick it up and have a conversation |
| 8293s | with you and see what we can organize |
| 8294s | awesome |
| 8295s | um our little teleprompter thing just |
| 8298s | had the letter P on it |
| 8300s | um I know it says Plex for Nash or ipool |
| 8303s | cables so I suspect uh CCP tell us that |
| 8306s | uh we're currently being extorted uh |
| 8309s | live on stream the good players like |
| 8310s | start CCP members I I was going to say |
| 8312s | is he about to organize uh the next |
| 8314s | tournament for us |
| 8316s | I don't think so I don't think so okay |
| 8318s | that is indeed violation so we'll be |
| 8321s | taking care of that as soon as we're off |
| 8322s | this particular shot |
| 8326s | awesome awesome awesome all right uh |
| 8328s | we've got six six and a half minutes |
| 8330s | until our next match but before we get |
| 8331s | to that we can talk about |
| 8334s | if you do really well in Alliance |
| 8335s | tournament like for example barcode like |
| 8337s | for example |
| 8339s | um dracaris you have locked yourself |
| 8341s | some tournament price ships and we |
| 8343s | released the stats for them just the |
| 8345s | other day let's see if we can take a |
| 8346s | look at them and talk about them so |
| 8347s | we've got the shipash and it's like |
| 8349s | barely uh talk to me about them CCP |
| 8351s | zealous so uh traditionally for the |
| 8354s | alliance tournament over the years we've |
| 8356s | done a frigate size ship and a cruiser |
| 8359s | size ship uh the current iteration this |
| 8361s | year again sponsored uh by the igc but |
| 8364s | uh they'd like to do their small run |
| 8366s | custom ships which come out with these |
| 8369s | pretty unique stats normally uh normally |
| 8371s | amped up from their original Hull |
| 8373s | versions when we bought back the |
| 8375s | alliance tournament we said we'd be |
| 8377s | reusing uh some of the original holes as |
| 8381s | inspiration for uh that you know |
| 8383s | particular sponsors |
| 8385s | um uh ships when they when it cropped |
| 8387s | around again so the original versions |
| 8389s | into these uh were of course the um |
| 8391s | addressedia and the utu |
| 8394s | um the shipash and the sabelli now being |
| 8397s | the new names for this iteration of the |
| 8399s | ships so we're these are the the current |
| 8403s | um stats that we're looking at the igc |
| 8405s | has provided us with uh so I'm always uh |
| 8408s | we're always open to feedback and it's |
| 8410s | up to the igc whether they uh take on |
| 8412s | that feedback in terms of uh ideas for |
| 8415s | how the ships currently look uh but this |
| 8417s | is a relatively good Baseline to how the |
| 8420s | ships are likely to appear in their |
| 8422s | hangers later on this year that we're |
| 8425s | making sure that they're delivered uh |
| 8428s | before the end of this year awesome uh |
| 8430s | mystical mate you're a man with a |
| 8432s | famously wrinkly brain |
| 8434s | um what do you think about these these |
| 8436s | ships having seen the stats there |
| 8438s | um it reminds me of the address here and |
| 8441s | the fact that I've always loved the |
| 8442s | address here and I've always wanted to |
| 8443s | buy one and every single time I go to |
| 8444s | buy one someone reminds me I can't lock |
| 8446s | past like the front screen of the arrest |
| 8449s | here so I'm hoping that this is kind of |
| 8452s | bringing the address here back into the |
| 8453s | age of modern Eve online where some of |
| 8456s | the older 80 ships obviously kind of get |
| 8458s | a little bit left behind because you |
| 8460s | don't want to be supporting too much and |
| 8461s | the upkeep of really unique ships |
| 8464s | because it kind of skews the meta a |
| 8466s | little bit you don't want to be over |
| 8467s | buffing them so I think this is a great |
| 8469s | way to be seeing some of these age-old |
| 8472s | um ships were back and hopefully we see |
| 8473s | some interesting videos as well kind of |
| 8474s | like the the older dressy videos that |
| 8476s | we've seen before |
| 8477s | fingers crossed and also uh should pass |
| 8479s | just nice nice name to say good mouth |
| 8481s | feel as we like to say sure it just |
| 8483s | rolls off the tongue it's great yes and |
| 8486s | so Bailey's very nice too it's just a |
| 8488s | bale or so Bailey I think so Bailey I |
| 8490s | think it's the belly as well she's been |
| 8491s | calling it Sybil silver |
| 8493s | how civilized oh no |
| 8497s | not again all right uh we have uh three |
| 8501s | minutes and 57 seconds until uh the |
| 8504s | start of our next match which is going |
| 8505s | to be the tuskers versus paper numbers |
| 8506s | another winners bracket match uh one of |
| 8509s | these teams is going to secure |
| 8510s | themselves a couple of uh sybils and a |
| 8512s | couple of patches uh who will it be we |
| 8514s | won't know for at least a little while |
| 8516s | but we can look at the bands and see |
| 8518s | what these teams are choosing to not see |
| 8520s | wow that's a lot of bands this time so |
| 8522s | Sentinel crucifer arbitrator curse for |
| 8525s | the tuskers they do not want to see any |
| 8528s | form of weapon disruption there paper |
| 8529s | numbers agreeing somewhat Banning out |
| 8531s | the cursor slept near the EOS and the |
| 8533s | Sentinel uh with trickle bands tuskers |
| 8536s | going for scimitar and balgarh and paper |
| 8538s | numbers Nighthawk and Loki against kind |
| 8541s | of surprised to see this battle Garden |
| 8542s | is not feeling a very common ship in the |
| 8544s | the current meta |
| 8546s | um I might have expected to see maybe |
| 8547s | the pilgrim there instead based on their |
| 8549s | clear disdain for guidance disruption |
| 8552s | tracking disruption mystical might I'm |
| 8554s | just convinced that tuskers forgot that |
| 8555s | the pilgrim exists so so that's why we |
| 8558s | don't see it banned because I definitely |
| 8560s | would have banned the pilgrim of the |
| 8561s | balgorn in this particular circumstance |
| 8563s | especially with all the prior TD bands I |
| 8566s | think the paper numbers bands are also |
| 8567s | fairly interesting the near again |
| 8569s | targeted towards the rush and the Flight |
| 8571s | of The Fly killer that we that we see uh |
| 8574s | or that we saw last year sorry yeah last |
| 8576s | year yesterday yes it feels like a long |
| 8578s | time the Nighthawk and the Loki bands |
| 8581s | are actually very good at removing the |
| 8582s | rush elements that we've seen in |
| 8584s | previous matches too but the Loki is a |
| 8585s | fairly strong brush boat because it has |
| 8587s | its local long-range webs which means |
| 8589s | that you can pin down targets and get |
| 8591s | your entire team on top of it so yeah uh |
| 8593s | fairly standard bands I think for this |
| 8595s | year's Alliance tournament considering |
| 8597s | the current it will matter but yeah |
| 8601s | trickle bands are well I think we see it |
| 8603s | once so far as before |
| 8605s | um I think off top of my head we haven't |
| 8607s | seen uh three or four I'm convinced |
| 8610s | we've seen plenty of ones uh but as |
| 8612s | Misty said in this one I I would have |
| 8614s | done the pilgrim um I'll be very funny |
| 8616s | if we see pilgrims best team in the |
| 8618s | tournament knows that the pilgrim exists |
| 8620s | uh so yeah that snuff box who brought |
| 8622s | them uh okay only one good team in the |
| 8625s | snuff box I didn't know that the program |
| 8627s | is US yeah well both these teams are |
| 8630s | tuskers and paper numbers they're |
| 8632s | choosing to bring their Flagship |
| 8633s | Armageddon Navy issues uh CSP salad |
| 8636s | flagships got some restrictions uh we |
| 8638s | saw plenty of bar guests and then I |
| 8640s | think next was at the Armageddon Navy |
| 8642s | issue yeah so the Armageddon Navy issue |
| 8644s | was the next one on the list and then |
| 8646s | The Vindicator I think was there the |
| 8647s | last one on the list and I want to say |
| 8649s | one Redeemer as well yeah there was a |
| 8652s | special case of the Redeemer in there as |
| 8653s | well special Redeemer well I mean I feel |
| 8657s | like it we'll talk about this some other |
| 8659s | point but the old Flagship matter if we |
| 8661s | were back to that I feel like we've been |
| 8662s | looking at just like 32 balgorns |
| 8665s | um and it would be kind of uninteresting |
| 8667s | and in 8017 we saw loads of bargats of |
| 8669s | course it was Point reduced |
| 8671s | um but a good mix this year obviously |
| 8673s | barga is still pretty popular uh but |
| 8675s | nice to see you I'm getting Navy issue |
| 8676s | getting some love and of course the |
| 8677s | Vindicator but two Armageddon Navy |
| 8680s | issues uh literally now so let's head |
| 8682s | over to the arena with the casters |
| 8683s | Wingnut cross and Yin tan |
| 8690s | g'day mates welcome into the arena I'm |
| 8692s | of course we're not joined by the other |
| 8693s | golden gintan at the moment I feel like |
| 8694s | a parent choosing between his two |
| 8696s | favorite kids because at the moment two |
| 8697s | of my favorite parts and the entire |
| 8699s | teams of Glorious people are going to be |
| 8701s | finding it out and honestly some pretty |
| 8703s | fun looking comments what are you |
| 8704s | looking at Jim what do you see that's |
| 8705s | interesting here yeah from tuskers we've |
| 8707s | got a rhml Spam comp |
| 8709s | um company called King Slayer although |
| 8711s | in this case it's uh missing some of the |
| 8713s | core components we normally associate |
| 8714s | with it all three of those ships |
| 8716s | including that Flagship up again Navy |
| 8718s | issue are fit with rapid Heavies so they |
| 8720s | can have a huge amount of front loaded |
| 8721s | DPS and they're probably going to be |
| 8722s | able to kill off one of those cruises |
| 8723s | from paper numbers really quickly paper |
| 8726s | numbers on the other hand their |
| 8727s | Armageddon Navy issue has no turrets no |
| 8730s | missile launches fit so that thing is |
| 8731s | fit to the brim with officer newts it's |
| 8734s | going to be able to absolutely Reach Out |
| 8736s | And Touch anyone on this grid and that's |
| 8738s | going to turn off all of the control |
| 8740s | elements from tuskers so it could be a |
| 8742s | question of who can win the fight of the |
| 8744s | mid the the mid-level who can punch |
| 8746s | through get control of the match |
| 8748s | position Lee and win from there I love |
| 8750s | the initial Target called going for the |
| 8751s | hyena basically all of these King |
| 8752s | Cyclones really do rely on that I need |
| 8754s | to beat all the application if they were |
| 8756s | able to kill that which I don't think |
| 8757s | they can it would honestly really give |
| 8760s | this comp from a star meanwhile of |
| 8761s | course the but we got a flag on flag |
| 8763s | scenario going on here and we can see of |
| 8765s | course Robinson Armageddon Navy is |
| 8767s | already neuting out basically everything |
| 8768s | he can see damage spread Cruz being shot |
| 8770s | the hiding has been shot no damage at |
| 8772s | the moment going into his team the trick |
| 8773s | with these triple rapid heavy comps is |
| 8775s | that you kind of have to pick your |
| 8776s | moment when to Fire and what to fire out |
| 8778s | because if you make that mistake you're |
| 8780s | basically stuck for the next minute to |
| 8782s | two minutes trying to do it all over |
| 8784s | again so that remember they are not |
| 8785s | firing you they are waiting they're |
| 8787s | picking they're gonna pick the right |
| 8788s | moment hopefully |
| 8790s | Mirage is now mjd so I believe the whole |
| 8794s | Battleship cool might be doing the same |
| 8795s | thing |
| 8797s | here we go and oh in they go miroshima |
| 8800s | is now uh right on the nearest directly |
| 8802s | on Park bank that is a masterful mjd |
| 8805s | right against paper numbers as well the |
| 8806s | king of mjds they are perfectly on the |
| 8808s | oneris with the bargest that's amazing |
| 8811s | and that's not a um officer scram either |
| 8813s | from that podcast they had to get very |
| 8814s | very close with that jump to be able to |
| 8816s | make that work vld is just followed him |
| 8818s | behind gonna be able to be landing tons |
| 8820s | of new pressure immediately down to the |
| 8822s | van and neros as well as all of those |
| 8823s | battle cruises that are now crowding |
| 8824s | around them oh this is going to be this |
| 8825s | is going to start to go very very |
| 8827s | quickly you can see damage getting |
| 8828s | traded back onto Mira who is obviously |
| 8830s | completely out of range of his own |
| 8832s | Logistics the Thalia and the Deacon |
| 8834s | trying to keep mirror alive there we go |
| 8837s | and neros traded down can they kill Mira |
| 8840s | before his uh Logistics frigates catch |
| 8842s | up with him executive Navy's next call |
| 8843s | very of course so this is why they save |
| 8845s | their clip for the right moment kill the |
| 8847s | logic and they're going to try and |
| 8848s | quickly cycle an executive Navy too |
| 8849s | which honestly could be done they |
| 8851s | potentium might trade mirror for this |
| 8853s | but trading one of your battleships free |
| 8854s | no logic and a DPS ship it's not the |
| 8857s | best of Trades but it's not a bad trade |
| 8859s | at all |
| 8860s | yeah and Rufus is just not quite in |
| 8862s | position oh no never mind he is now in |
| 8863s | position to really start making an |
| 8865s | impact on this map in perfect optimal |
| 8866s | ranges gonna be just throwing out the |
| 8869s | newts turning off all of those frigates |
| 8870s | from this tuskers Co side here and |
| 8873s | mirror Chief finally goes down it's now |
| 8875s | only a couple of uh a couple of DPS |
| 8877s | ships on both sides here |
| 8880s | honestly that's actually a surprising |
| 8882s | lack of DPS from both the teams they've |
| 8884s | definitely got enough but two |
| 8886s | battleships for DPS for one side and a |
| 8888s | smattering of cruises and battle Crews |
| 8890s | on the other side this is this is gonna |
| 8892s | be a very interesting Knife Fight Within |
| 8893s | the bishop of the notes just running |
| 8895s | around newting everything and I think uh |
| 8897s | miromi doing the same thing in return |
| 8900s | yeah tuscas should be running up to up |
| 8902s | into the uh the walls of their first |
| 8903s | clip ho hit though here really really |
| 8905s | soon uh I'm just watching already there |
| 8908s | we go they have just hit another clip |
| 8910s | wall there it looks like the typhoon |
| 8911s | Fleet issue of Jazzy has stopped |
| 8912s | shooting and that's going to be |
| 8914s | crippling here um paper numbers need to |
| 8916s | use this moment they need to use these |
| 8917s | couple of seconds to kill off some of |
| 8919s | these low-end ships really regaining |
| 8921s | they are doing that they are doing that |
| 8922s | very well organ Navy Absolution I |
| 8925s | believe the more might even have guns |
| 8926s | they are just quickly and deleting small |
| 8927s | ships as fast as they can that is |
| 8929s | actually a gun more Yep so they're using |
| 8930s | all their mid-sized weapons to kill |
| 8932s | small ships before this next clip comes |
| 8933s | in they I don't know this the episode is |
| 8935s | going to survive the next clip that's |
| 8936s | gonna be a lot of damage going on to |
| 8937s | jealousy here I think he might go down |
| 8939s | but can they then follow that up with |
| 8940s | killing one of these battleships well |
| 8942s | that's the benefit of Max threat in a |
| 8944s | situation like this even if they do kill |
| 8946s | at the Absolution and maybe even one of |
| 8948s | those other battle Cruisers in their |
| 8950s | next clip they're still going to have a |
| 8951s | little bit of enough DPS left over in |
| 8953s | the remaining cruises just to win the |
| 8955s | match on their own yeah you know one |
| 8957s | rhml ship is not going to be enough to |
| 8959s | finish off right |
| 8961s | so there's Max threat one of the main |
| 8962s | ships the next threat at the moment is |
| 8963s | that British Navy he is heart tackled |
| 8965s | away and neutered down by the molar of |
| 8968s | Beckers that is not good that's a good |
| 8969s | chunk of DPS just being turned off |
| 8971s | permanently now he's going to fire every |
| 8973s | once in a while but that's so much DPS |
| 8974s | removed Brooks name is one of the |
| 8976s | standouts of the Navy belt Cruisers |
| 8977s | right now they're gonna get rid of the |
| 8978s | hyena so they'll get rid of some of the |
| 8980s | application but this looks both good and |
| 8982s | horrible at the same time |
| 8984s | yeah with that said though the hoffy V6 |
| 8987s | and the celesters has been able to do so |
| 8988s | much in this match barely threatened the |
| 8990s | whole time and just spreading out damps |
| 8992s | across this tuskers composition making |
| 8994s | it ever so difficult for them to |
| 8995s | possession making sure they don't stray |
| 8997s | more than 10 15 kilometers away from |
| 8999s | their target he's going down fast oh wow |
| 9002s | that had no tank I was expecting it to |
| 9004s | hold on a lot longer than that normally |
| 9006s | these things have 100K plus ehp but it |
| 9009s | seems like in this case there's no match |
| 9011s | to the DPS that tuskers are putting out |
| 9014s | well this is not looking good now you've |
| 9015s | got two DPS ships drones and a lot of |
| 9018s | notes they have to kill a battleship now |
| 9020s | there is no choice anymore if they don't |
| 9022s | kill on this Battleship they're going to |
| 9024s | just outright lose really aggressively |
| 9025s | quickly what do you go for typhoon Fleet |
| 9028s | or get Navy here you've got to go for |
| 9029s | the typhoon Fleet there's no way that |
| 9031s | you're going to be able to break the um |
| 9033s | the bonus active tank of that Flagship |
| 9035s | with what you've got on the field left |
| 9036s | here you have to try and kill that |
| 9037s | typhoon fully issue and you have to |
| 9039s | start doing it quick well you maybe you |
| 9041s | have time to do it or maybe you can mute |
| 9043s | out the matter a little bit get into a |
| 9045s | better position but I think you just |
| 9046s | have to all in the typing Fleet issue |
| 9047s | here like you're saying and they're not |
| 9049s | going to be able to break it look at |
| 9050s | that tiny little attack bar they've got |
| 9052s | left tuscus Navy's also hard noodle it |
| 9055s | out as well by both typing Fleet and I |
| 9056s | believe also the uh get Navy so the Old |
| 9058s | Navy went last year Bishops turned off I |
| 9060s | think this has gone uh to mirror to uh |
| 9063s | tuska's way |
| 9064s | they've just absolutely controlled this |
| 9066s | match on the moment they jumped and just |
| 9068s | kept destroying kept ahead of the race |
| 9070s | so there's damage down this hyphen Fleet |
| 9072s | but I unless the right person can one |
| 9074s | like 1v2 this with Uber tank I don't |
| 9077s | think there's any coming back anymore |
| 9079s | well there's the problem big day haven't |
| 9081s | given rifles in the guns to do it with |
| 9082s | he's got no launches fit to that armaged |
| 9085s | Navy issue just able to project out |
| 9086s | control and nothing else that's why that |
| 9088s | control bar is still absolutely gigantic |
| 9091s | from the paper numbers side despite the |
| 9093s | fact that everything else is itty bitty |
| 9095s | small you've got to hand it to tuskers |
| 9097s | that mjd jump that just little slap onto |
| 9101s | the ineros right at the start of the |
| 9102s | game gave them all the momentum they |
| 9104s | needed they carried that through for the |
| 9106s | rest of the game happily sacrificing a |
| 9108s | bar guest for the victory |
| 9110s | yeah and that is like kind of ironically |
| 9112s | enough that is why I love watching |
| 9113s | riferson fly but see mirror do the |
| 9115s | exactly the same thing exactly why that |
| 9117s | that stuff works just going for that no |
| 9120s | basically the headshot the most |
| 9121s | important ship and forcing the match |
| 9123s | your way it's why I love some of these |
| 9125s | Battleship Parts they have the |
| 9126s | aggression required to just make it work |
| 9128s | and control the match from that point |
| 9129s | onwards |
| 9130s | yeah both both teams just throwing |
| 9132s | Haymakers Back At One Another like Chad |
| 9134s | saying it was absolutely brilliant this |
| 9137s | is what you hope for every time you see |
| 9139s | a match you know two flagships going up |
| 9141s | against one another and there is |
| 9142s | actually a possibility that both |
| 9144s | flagships survive here uh ruiferson's |
| 9146s | probably tanked to Absolute Kingdom Come |
| 9149s | given that he did not need his low slots |
| 9151s | for any sort of D um uh damage amplica |
| 9154s | damage modules but you won't have |
| 9156s | drawing damage amps |
| 9158s | I I hope not |
| 9160s | you're saying but you never know |
| 9163s | honestly I I've never been the biggest |
| 9165s | fan of like full uh utility battleships |
| 9169s | as Flags I don't mind I I'm gonna get |
| 9171s | Navy as a flag but going full note you |
| 9174s | lose a good chunk of actual usable DPS |
| 9176s | on your entire comp and it's like I love |
| 9179s | I I get why you go for it but DPS is |
| 9182s | kind of King in the end you've got to be |
| 9183s | able to kill a Target |
| 9185s | and that's why Ruffin is gonna be left |
| 9187s | until the end because what's he doing |
| 9188s | anymore they're firing missiles you |
| 9190s | can't even mute them off |
| 9191s | yeah absolutely if this had if they'd |
| 9194s | come up against someone uh you know |
| 9196s | maybe the uh Battleship or learn comp |
| 9198s | with uh double abadden double Oracle |
| 9200s | that we've seen a couple of her teams |
| 9202s | use or even potentially another an |
| 9204s | opposing Max threat like this would have |
| 9206s | been so so deadly versus a couple of |
| 9209s | Harbinger navies or hubbing a Navy in a |
| 9211s | prophecy issue that kind of core where |
| 9213s | that armaged Navy issue could have |
| 9214s | turned off its own points worth of ships |
| 9216s | within the first couple of minutes of |
| 9218s | the match |
| 9219s | or potentially a twin lachet company |
| 9221s | I'll turn off one of those two little |
| 9222s | Jacks immediate with eight newts is a |
| 9224s | lot of potential but yeah at this point |
| 9226s | they're just going to be like he's going |
| 9227s | to start shooting the Navy now can they |
| 9229s | kill it in time I think with the new |
| 9230s | pressure coming coming out and on to him |
| 9232s | he's going to go through his cap boosts |
| 9234s | remarkably fast zero out his cat |
| 9235s | potentially and maybe even go down but |
| 9238s | there is two minutes for them to do so |
| 9240s | and uh if he's smart and waits through |
| 9242s | these reloads he could potentially |
| 9243s | survive to the end |
| 9245s | oh I know this is gonna it's gonna be |
| 9248s | close and look at those rep Cycles you |
| 9250s | see that's what you're waiting for you |
| 9252s | can put some absolutely insane rep power |
| 9254s | on these um flagships and paper numbers |
| 9257s | I think they're still in this tournament |
| 9259s | if they lose here so if they they are |
| 9261s | desperate to keep this Armageddon Navy |
| 9263s | issue alive if they can do so |
| 9265s | it's going to give them such an |
| 9267s | advantage in future games but they're |
| 9269s | all it's so low he's gone quick yeah |
| 9271s | I'll seem to quickly get the correct |
| 9272s | stuff as well he is not full neutral he |
| 9274s | does at least have one or two smart |
| 9275s | bombs so he doesn't have that as always |
| 9276s | he's not a full nuclear but he's |
| 9278s | definitely a full utility fit but he's |
| 9279s | going in the hull that could be one |
| 9281s | expensive kill male please just hit clip |
| 9283s | just hit clip just hit clip I can hear |
| 9285s | that in his head just clip please just |
| 9287s | stop shooting me please hit clip |
| 9289s | from riferson |
| 9291s | is that it oh is that it it lives that's |
| 9295s | it he survived no no no no yeah it's not |
| 9300s | over yet okay now we got too excited if |
| 9302s | we had a few missiles left there we go |
| 9304s | flag down right person down oh oh man |
| 9310s | my channel points |
| 9313s | and of course it lets us alive to last |
| 9315s | so they can have time to uh grab the |
| 9318s | loot |
| 9319s | honestly I kind of like this wasn't able |
| 9322s | to do too much unfortunately he tried |
| 9323s | his best |
| 9324s | 30 seconds left yeah well done paper |
| 9327s | indeed |
| 9328s | arresting paper |
| 9330s | unfortunately paper does rot |
| 9334s | all right well match is complete thank |
| 9336s | you so much both these teams it was a |
| 9338s | beautiful match but let's go back to the |
| 9339s | studio and see what they're going to say |
| 9340s | about this |
| 9363s | [Music] |
| 9367s | thank you |
| 9391s | [Music] |
| 9393s | thank you |
| 9395s | [Music] |
| 9397s | [Applause] |
| 9399s | foreign |
| 9402s | [Music] |
| 9425s | [Music] |
| 9432s | the tuskers securing themselves at |
| 9435s | continuation in the winners bracket at |
| 9437s | the expense of paper numbers in a pretty |
| 9439s | tough matchup for them uh it didn't go |
| 9441s | as smoothly as I think they would have |
| 9443s | hoped uh difference in the flagship |
| 9445s | Armageddon fittings of course probably |
| 9446s | played uh played some part in it uh but |
| 9449s | even still we saw some excellent play |
| 9450s | from uh from both teams a really nice |
| 9453s | micro jump drive maneuver from the |
| 9455s | tuskers team to try and land on top of |
| 9457s | Park Bank in that on Euros he managed it |
| 9459s | just squeak away uh but not enough |
| 9461s | mystical might how'd that go for you |
| 9463s | yeah uh I thought it was a pretty |
| 9465s | exciting match I remember calling out |
| 9466s | that mirror just mjd onto the ineros and |
| 9469s | scrammed it and then the moment I turned |
| 9471s | back after having said this to CP |
| 9473s | overload he was on scrapped so we had a |
| 9475s | little giggle about that no but uh I |
| 9477s | think tuskers played it really well |
| 9479s | um taking a few risks as I think they're |
| 9481s | fairly well known for at this point |
| 9484s | um MJ digging into the middle of the |
| 9485s | Hostile team but it pays off part bank |
| 9487s | being the good logic planet that he is |
| 9490s | almost survives but doesn't quite |
| 9492s | against the Flagship oh my God Navy |
| 9494s | issue I think the most interesting part |
| 9496s | of the match was the difference in |
| 9497s | Armageddon Navy issue fittings that uh |
| 9499s | Bart pointed out |
| 9501s | tell us about the part yeah uh so this |
| 9504s | is the second time in a row uh for the |
| 9506s | last two matches where we've seen people |
| 9507s | bringing these full new Armageddon Navy |
| 9509s | issues which uh obviously I was not here |
| 9511s | for the last match I was |
| 9513s | through the through the Maze and hanging |
| 9516s | out with several other people that are |
| 9517s | part of our team but I was saying when |
| 9519s | goons brought it I was like oh that's an |
| 9521s | absolutely terrible fit why would you |
| 9522s | ever do that like that's silly and I |
| 9524s | don't understand it and then we saw it |
| 9526s | again so basically the strength of an |
| 9529s | Armageddon Navy issue is that it has the |
| 9532s | ability to fit very powerful dudes but |
| 9536s | also a lot of damage from its drones or |
| 9539s | lasers or guns or whatever combination |
| 9540s | you want to bring so if you're taking |
| 9542s | your arm again Navy issue and you're |
| 9543s | fitting it with a full High rack of |
| 9545s | newts you're kind of just choosing to |
| 9547s | bring it as I believe moderator kept |
| 9550s | saying oh they brought a curse again as |
| 9551s | a as a uh as a flagship |
| 9554s | it's it's kind of pointless in my |
| 9556s | opinion and we've seen it Loose twice in |
| 9557s | a row so my opinion is at least |
| 9559s | validated twice now |
| 9560s | so much you had the the finger of |
| 9562s | knowledge went up there I just wanted to |
| 9564s | add we've seen full nuke battleships |
| 9566s | before usually in the form of the balcon |
| 9568s | where those newts are strong but they |
| 9570s | don't go as far but the important thing |
| 9572s | to keep in mind is the Bagon also has |
| 9574s | webs as a utility so it's it makes it |
| 9576s | easier to pin things down when you only |
| 9578s | have a ship that has newts and then does |
| 9581s | nothing else for you |
| 9582s | it becomes a bit of a question as to why |
| 9585s | you would minimize the amount of damage |
| 9586s | that you have on your team because I |
| 9588s | don't think there's much benefit to just |
| 9589s | bringing more Newt if you don't have the |
| 9591s | punch to back it up awesome all right |
| 9594s | now uh you've probably seen uh |
| 9595s | throughout the tournaments that |
| 9597s | occasionally we like to throw up graphs |
| 9598s | and stats sometimes about chips |
| 9600s | sometimes about teams uh well even T has |
| 9603s | been running uh so many students for a |
| 9604s | while we have a database that we've |
| 9606s | built up uh over years which goes back |
| 9607s | to Atlanta seven with uh pilots and |
| 9610s | stats and things and we've actually |
| 9612s | opened a bunch of it so you can uh you |
| 9614s | can go online uh right now and you can |
| 9615s | search your name your alliance your |
| 9617s | corporation uh we're looking at mystical |
| 9619s | mate here it's |
| 9620s | open.event.uk and you can see your |
| 9623s | history so this is Mr commit you can see |
| 9625s | matches he has played in uh we're |
| 9626s | looking here Alliance tournament 15 uh |
| 9628s | when you were playing with Volta uh it |
| 9630s | looks like tuskers won the last match |
| 9632s | you played in uh against uh or when |
| 9635s | you're playing for Volta uh flying a lot |
| 9637s | of hyenas balgar and some scorpion Navy |
| 9639s | issues uh and for a couple different |
| 9642s | teams like try veggie collapse and of |
| 9644s | course Volta uh so it's a pretty cool |
| 9646s | Tool uh the fact that you can look up uh |
| 9648s | your personal stats and you know get a |
| 9650s | bit of a bit of a look at them I |
| 9651s | recommend checking it out is made by |
| 9653s | Vitor our event sort of Giga brain in |
| 9657s | the back it's awesome it is really cool |
| 9660s | um yeah go look yourself up if you've |
| 9662s | ever if you've ever flown in the last |
| 9663s | tournament you'll be in there which I |
| 9665s | think is pretty neat uh bar you've flown |
| 9667s | in plenty right I have |
| 9669s | um on different characters so people I |
| 9672s | basically when I first joined the |
| 9673s | alliance tournament was playing I think |
| 9674s | I was one of those uh like 20 or 30 |
| 9676s | million SP people so I I used the yield |
| 9681s | character bazaars we did not have |
| 9682s | injectors back then and got a very very |
| 9684s | uh much higher skilled in-game with |
| 9687s | skill points than I personally am as a |
| 9689s | pilot uh character so I could actually |
| 9691s | participate because at the time I think |
| 9694s | I had like 20 or 30 million skill points |
| 9696s | and |
| 9697s | you can get away with that but some of |
| 9699s | these Alliance tournament matches will |
| 9700s | come down to the like did you have |
| 9701s | drones uh did you have Minotaur drone |
| 9703s | spec five instead of four and that like |
| 9706s | little two to three percent difference |
| 9708s | can make a huge difference so I've never |
| 9710s | flown on my own character uh my personal |
| 9711s | named character that I am known on uh |
| 9714s | but I have flown in I think three or |
| 9716s | four years now so awesome uh well let's |
| 9719s | move on to look at our next match up |
| 9720s | another winners brackets match is |
| 9722s | snuffed up versus White Flag uh so let's |
| 9725s | see what these teams have chosen to ban |
| 9727s | snuff died Banning the bow guard the bow |
| 9730s | guards really sort of become a common |
| 9731s | ban for teams here we are a little bit |
| 9734s | unsure about it at the desk at least uh |
| 9736s | but yup teams clearly seeing something |
| 9738s | that we don't they're also buying the |
| 9740s | Scimitar the arbitrator and the curse |
| 9743s | White Flag going for the Armageddon the |
| 9745s | Ishtar the bar guest and the abaddin |
| 9748s | um Blackboard pirate talk to me about |
| 9750s | some of these bands here yeah I'm kind |
| 9752s | of in you know like you said with the |
| 9753s | balgren it's it's a little bit weird uh |
| 9756s | they are very very powerful new Chips |
| 9758s | but with the introduction of the |
| 9759s | Armageddon Navy issue uh and it's it's |
| 9761s | rework that happened last year I think |
| 9763s | that banning a balgorn you know sort of |
| 9766s | like Misty said it brings the webs and |
| 9767s | the newts and the damage but the |
| 9769s | Armageddon Navy has comparable newts and |
| 9772s | more damage so uh again maybe they know |
| 9775s | something we don't uh but Battleground |
| 9777s | bands are a little goofy arbitrator |
| 9779s | curse I mean we've been seeing this a |
| 9780s | lot the curse is probably one of the |
| 9782s | more bandships of this tournament and |
| 9783s | maybe of all time uh arbitrator is just |
| 9786s | kind of a tech one variant of it the |
| 9788s | Ishtar ban is a little bit weird though |
| 9790s | because Ishtar bands don't really ban |
| 9793s | out drone setups anywhere near as much |
| 9794s | as an EOS band does but we've seen it a |
| 9796s | couple times and I think White Flag |
| 9797s | actually |
| 9798s | has banned it before so this could be |
| 9801s | part of their meta is you know oh we get |
| 9804s | rid of ishtars and I'm not sure how I |
| 9807s | agree with it I don't think we've seen |
| 9808s | drones perform particularly well for a |
| 9809s | few years here but again maybe they know |
| 9811s | something we don't yeah before we go on |
| 9813s | to uh this next match which is just two |
| 9815s | minutes away I've just seen the kilmo |
| 9817s | has come in for uh riferson uh from |
| 9819s | paper numbers in his Flagship Armageddon |
| 9822s | Navy issue uh not quite as spicy as |
| 9824s | truth on a light and I don't think we |
| 9825s | will see another one like that for a |
| 9826s | while but still relatively spicy spice |
| 9829s | level maybe like a strong Tabasco |
| 9831s | um so we're looking at about 44.8 |
| 9834s | billion uh isk looks like mainly officer |
| 9837s | uh Newt chelms modified heavy energy |
| 9840s | neutralizers in the high about four and |
| 9841s | a half Bill a pop nice uh uh smart bomb |
| 9845s | as well also offers a whole bunch of |
| 9847s | Officer stuff in the mids and down in |
| 9850s | the low slots we see uh 11 billion unit |
| 9853s | P something rather modified damage |
| 9855s | control so a pretty nice Army get Navy |
| 9859s | issue there and it is all that of course |
| 9863s | these uh kill Mills provided by |
| 9864s | zedcilboard.com new Eden's Premiere kill |
| 9867s | Mill supplier so uh you can see this is |
| 9870s | on Tranquility so yeah head over to |
| 9871s | zedco and click little uh updates on |
| 9875s | these things uh and show your |
| 9876s | appreciation all right let's hand over |
| 9878s | to our boys in the booth it's fear and |
| 9880s | Baza once again |
| 9885s | welcome back to the arena everyone and |
| 9887s | we have white flag coming up against |
| 9889s | snuffed out on both these teams through |
| 9891s | the band phase you may have noticed the |
| 9893s | exec Royal Navy was left unbanned and |
| 9895s | both teams have jumped on that |
| 9896s | opportunity not wanting to miss a trick |
| 9898s | and you know end up outgunned they've |
| 9900s | both grabbed two of them um in very fair |
| 9902s | or fairly similar comps different sort |
| 9904s | of angles on the Gan spam one within an |
| 9906s | Eros and a cup and uh you know an oracle |
| 9908s | a couple more DPS Cruisers and one with |
| 9911s | four battle Cruisers the augural so |
| 9912s | opting for the different logic but |
| 9914s | overall both these comps pretty similar |
| 9915s | in terms of function in terms of optimal |
| 9917s | range damage tank all this sort of stuff |
| 9919s | it's just two sort of slightly different |
| 9920s | blends and flavors of this mix of battle |
| 9923s | cruises that we have here |
| 9926s | it's really about execution this uh ends |
| 9930s | up being |
| 9930s | probably a brawl uh more often than not |
| 9933s | just because the projection doesn't |
| 9935s | really favor one team or another |
| 9937s | especially because neither of these |
| 9938s | teams really have a whole lot of e-war |
| 9940s | uh in fact neither team really has any |
| 9942s | e-war at all so first damage from each |
| 9946s | side going out and it's the oniro's |
| 9948s | being targeted by white flag is the |
| 9949s | exact Navy of Rambo uh the captain of |
| 9952s | white flag is currently being targeted |
| 9953s | by snuffed out but they're actually |
| 9954s | splitting damage right now uh that might |
| 9956s | just be skybreaker damage though yeah |
| 9958s | and Rambo's actually managed to burn |
| 9959s | away here he's completely free so he's |
| 9961s | gonna get in range of tin Baron and that |
| 9963s | ogre are obviously a very competent |
| 9964s | logic pilot hopefully he's got a POV and |
| 9966s | we'll be able to see that at some point |
| 9967s | after the tournament concludes but the |
| 9968s | nearest of infinitas is not as lucky and |
| 9970s | he goes down very very quickly at the |
| 9972s | start of this match and they've made no |
| 9973s | progress for it the next SEC is holding |
| 9975s | just fine Jose he's fine |
| 9980s | definitively not fine he is dying |
| 9982s | rapidly there he goes Rambo's time |
| 9985s | damage aren't of the uh hurricane Fleet |
| 9987s | issue of Alice Hecate uh from the side |
| 9990s | of White Flag going down to about half |
| 9992s | armor still has the auger up to keep uh |
| 9995s | themselves alive at the moment but |
| 9996s | damages going on the sky breaker now |
| 9998s | maybe mathemius in the exact Navy as |
| 10001s | well uh this is what happens when you |
| 10003s | see a Suitor dad versus pseudor that it |
| 10006s | devolves into an all-out brawl with the |
| 10007s | logic kind of burning away and uh when |
| 10010s | you get damaged on top of you you start |
| 10011s | burning away so the Xbox maybe goes down |
| 10013s | same stuff as a hurricane Fleet but we |
| 10014s | also see uh the sky breaker fall at the |
| 10016s | same time so right now huge lead it |
| 10019s | doesn't look like a lot in terms of |
| 10020s | points it's only 16 points but it is a |
| 10022s | meaningful lead in favor of White Flag |
| 10024s | right now is their honor of this Oracle |
| 10026s | who seems to be much more paper than uh |
| 10029s | some of the bait tank oracles we've seen |
| 10030s | uh earlier in the tournament yeah as you |
| 10032s | say the points points schedule is a bit |
| 10034s | further away now but the points Gap look |
| 10036s | pretty close but it really isn't and I |
| 10037s | think sort of that it Belize that the |
| 10040s | point system can lie sometimes right |
| 10042s | because I mean logic Cruisers they're |
| 10043s | nine points they're 16 points depending |
| 10045s | on what flavor you get but everyone |
| 10046s | brings them right everyone agrees |
| 10048s | they're worth more than nine points or |
| 10049s | they it would be it would be viable to |
| 10052s | not bring them so sometimes you end up |
| 10053s | in that situation where the score looks |
| 10055s | close but the match is long out of |
| 10058s | control and this is the situation stuff |
| 10059s | find themselves in |
| 10061s | um as the Confessor the Navy order the |
| 10063s | Navy prophecy and the estatia are going |
| 10064s | to go down I think I think their |
| 10066s | decision |
| 10067s | um they sort of were in a tough spot |
| 10069s | here because if you again obviously |
| 10071s | White Flag a very competent team |
| 10073s | expected to be you know possibly the |
| 10074s | second strongest team in the tournament |
| 10076s | um if you bring your flag comp you may |
| 10079s | well lose it I'm not sure that a gun |
| 10081s | spam mirror would be what they would |
| 10083s | want against a team that's favored like |
| 10085s | white flag obviously is |
| 10086s | um but obviously I don't know what else |
| 10088s | they have in the tank what else they had |
| 10089s | to bring but I think it was probably |
| 10092s | lose the battle but win the war here for |
| 10093s | snuff in terms of you know |
| 10095s | maintain that Flagship advantage |
| 10098s | so we'll be going on a lower bracket |
| 10100s | though uh this is match 28 for those who |
| 10102s | have been following along at home which |
| 10104s | means they will be facing templas |
| 10106s | khalsif later today and I will be casted |
| 10109s | by Alex SIM card and uh Chad flame so do |
| 10113s | pay attention for that one but White |
| 10114s | Flag they're gonna end up in the top 12 |
| 10116s | pretty comfortably uh their practice |
| 10119s | partners and uh truth honor light ended |
| 10121s | up getting knocked down to lower bracket |
| 10122s | earlier today but I expect to see much |
| 10125s | from both those teams moving forward uh |
| 10127s | snapped out meanwhile I mean they've won |
| 10130s | an A Team Match uh this year they made |
| 10132s | it in through feeder through the Glenn |
| 10133s | to gamble they have a lot of experience |
| 10136s | and a lot of skins in that regard so |
| 10138s | maybe we'll see them make a lower |
| 10140s | bracket run but it is going to be tough |
| 10141s | up against the temples team that is very |
| 10143s | storied in The A Team uh and a snapped |
| 10146s | out team that there aren't a whole lot |
| 10148s | of expectations on and maybe that means |
| 10151s | that they uh will perform better because |
| 10153s | there are no expectations on them but |
| 10155s | that's it for this match we're going to |
| 10157s | send it back to a break when we return |
| 10159s | the last match of the first half of the |
| 10161s | day Odin's call versus boundary experts |
| 10163s | we'll see you right after this |
| 10181s | [Music] |
| 10184s | [Applause] |
| 10190s | are you ready yeah see somebody's house |
| 10193s | on the way what do you think it would |
| 10195s | feel like if a ship worked through your |
| 10198s | house I might have some weird effect |
| 10199s | like imagine |
| 10201s | sneezing like they get explosive |
| 10203s | diarrhea or something like that |
| 10205s | I like sneezing more |
| 10208s | if he's out of your ass |
| 10215s | you started with uh all right you know |
| 10219s | what jump this never happened let's move |
| 10221s | on |
| 10222s | he's our secondary Target this is me |
| 10224s | broadcast it jumping now then we can |
| 10228s | [Applause] |
| 10230s | I want bubbles all over this midnight |
| 10234s | and up now do it now |
| 10252s | White Flags nothing out snuffed out and |
| 10255s | knocking them down into the elimination |
| 10256s | bracket there in not quite a mirror |
| 10259s | match up but uh you know kind of close |
| 10262s | uh mystical might uh first of all Merit |
| 10265s | match what do we talk about when we say |
| 10266s | that |
| 10266s | we say mirror match what we're saying is |
| 10268s | that both teams have essentially brought |
| 10270s | the same setup there may be a few minor |
| 10273s | differences between the two but in terms |
| 10275s | of execution what that comp is capable |
| 10277s | of they are basically the exact same so |
| 10281s | what really determines the difference |
| 10283s | between these two teams whenever they're |
| 10284s | flying what is essentially the same |
| 10286s | setup it is Target calling and we saw |
| 10289s | that the White Flag team decided to |
| 10291s | primary the snuffed out aneros at the |
| 10293s | very start which ensures that no matter |
| 10295s | how |
| 10297s | many ships they trade at like that first |
| 10299s | point they're removing the Reps so that |
| 10301s | when they're trading DPS later they're |
| 10303s | always going to be making progress we |
| 10305s | saw that the snuffed out team decided to |
| 10307s | shoot a Navy executor and when it didn't |
| 10309s | die because it caught reps they decided |
| 10311s | to shoot a Navy executor and when it |
| 10313s | didn't die because it caught reps they |
| 10315s | decided to shoot a hurricane Fleet issue |
| 10317s | which did die |
| 10318s | um but by then it was too low too late |
| 10320s | um so yeah I think they should have shot |
| 10322s | the auger first ensured that they could |
| 10324s | actually then start making progress in |
| 10325s | the DPS War and I think they might have |
| 10328s | actually won if they had done that |
| 10329s | because they had the Oracle which does a |
| 10331s | lot of damage with the with the lodge |
| 10332s | guns that it has |
| 10333s | bar in these situations you're a team |
| 10335s | you've been teleported to the arena by |
| 10338s | the referees you've been so tight it's |
| 10339s | time to warp you you do so you open to |
| 10342s | the arena the range that you have picked |
| 10344s | um what's what's going through the teams |
| 10346s | like what are they doing as they're in |
| 10347s | warp and and what do they do once they |
| 10348s | land on grid yeah well when you first |
| 10350s | get checked in |
| 10351s | um and you get teleported and you're in |
| 10353s | this you're in this line and you want to |
| 10355s | check all your modules really quickly uh |
| 10357s | you want to make sure all your stuff's |
| 10358s | working nothing like went offline |
| 10359s | because sometimes things happen and |
| 10361s | you've online it is the way it is uh and |
| 10363s | then you get told the warp you know you |
| 10365s | double check your warping because once |
| 10367s | you warp if you you can work from zero |
| 10370s | to fifty if you work outside of 50 |
| 10371s | you're gonna get teleported to the |
| 10373s | middle if you were up at the wrong spot |
| 10375s | too bad you're locked in you land you're |
| 10377s | locked in and you get generally maybe 30 |
| 10380s | seconds to a minute to see the other |
| 10382s | team and be like okay we got to get a |
| 10384s | game plan here and that's kind of a big |
| 10385s | thing um something we kept seeing in |
| 10387s | twitch chat is people are like why can't |
| 10389s | I bet until I say like why do I what is |
| 10391s | vetting close before I see the ships |
| 10392s | well that's kind kind of part of it like |
| 10394s | even the other teams you don't see your |
| 10396s | opponents set up you until you land you |
| 10399s | don't even get to figure out where they |
| 10400s | are and you know as soon as that happens |
| 10402s | like you're going through your head |
| 10403s | you're like you're setting up a game |
| 10405s | plan people start stressing if you start |
| 10407s | hearing people's voices shaking a little |
| 10409s | bit you know your hands are shaking but |
| 10411s | you got to get ready to go in and just |
| 10412s | start blasting and uh that Target |
| 10415s | calling decision you have 30 seconds to |
| 10418s | make that |
| 10419s | and like you know Misty said okay well |
| 10421s | you something doesn't break sometimes |
| 10423s | these ships don't break because you're |
| 10425s | overheating on them maybe it's too far |
| 10427s | away from some of your people you switch |
| 10428s | to another one |
| 10429s | um |
| 10430s | I don't necessarily think snuff made the |
| 10431s | wrong call there beyond that yeah you |
| 10433s | should have shot the auger because it's |
| 10434s | a T1 lodging on a T2 but I can |
| 10436s | understand why it happened and it's it's |
| 10439s | a stressful game there's people play The |
| 10441s | Alliance tournament because it's the |
| 10442s | only thing in Eve that gets them like |
| 10443s | hyped and excited anymore like even |
| 10445s | losing your Titan is kind of like not |
| 10447s | the same as some of these matches |
| 10449s | Mr you've uh some more comments there as |
| 10451s | well you've also played another these uh |
| 10453s | tense exciting matches yeah I was going |
| 10455s | to say that alongside basically having |
| 10457s | 30 to 60 seconds sometimes to determine |
| 10459s | an entire game plan for the match |
| 10462s | um you're also going up against comps |
| 10463s | that sometimes you've never seen before |
| 10464s | so you need to figure out what the comp |
| 10466s | is actually capable of or what it's |
| 10467s | designed to do and another thing I |
| 10470s | wanted to mention is that |
| 10471s | not all matches are equal in terms of |
| 10473s | the starting positions so even with both |
| 10476s | teams warping to 50 sometimes the angle |
| 10478s | of whoop that you decide to choose from |
| 10480s | like the beacon can bring you in really |
| 10482s | close or you can be on opposite sides of |
| 10484s | the Arena 100 kilometers away and those |
| 10487s | starting positions also have an impact |
| 10489s | on |
| 10490s | the target calling that you make at the |
| 10491s | very beginning the path that you decide |
| 10493s | to fly around the arena so there's a lot |
| 10495s | to take into account |
| 10497s | um |
| 10498s | yeah we can see here a little Graphics |
| 10500s | showing the different staging beacons |
| 10502s | with the arena in the center the arena |
| 10503s | is completely off D scan as are the two |
| 10505s | sites from each other so they can't |
| 10506s | actually see each other until they warp |
| 10508s | as teams are warping it's usually |
| 10509s | spamming that d-scan button to get the |
| 10511s | the first look at the the other team of |
| 10513s | course you've got the center Beacon and |
| 10514s | those mjd beacons dotted around in an |
| 10517s | ice cube uh The Blue Team here chose to |
| 10519s | warp in it zero uh the red team clearly |
| 10521s | warping in at 50. uh Blackberry Pirates |
| 10523s | warping at zero uh is that good idea |
| 10526s | usually uh it can be a good idea |
| 10530s | um but |
| 10537s | zero yes which makes sense because |
| 10539s | that's not a particularly fast ship |
| 10541s | um it's the thing is that if you warp at |
| 10544s | zero you don't you're guaranteed that |
| 10547s | you're like right in the middle and |
| 10548s | sometimes even for like these Rush |
| 10550s | setups you don't actually want to start |
| 10551s | in the middle uh we saw a rush uh |
| 10554s | yesterday and the names of the teams are |
| 10556s | slightly escaping me I believe it was |
| 10558s | Odin's call did a shield Rush versus |
| 10560s | whichever team that they ended up |
| 10561s | winning where Odin's call like if two |
| 10564s | Rush comps run into each other you're |
| 10567s | really just kind of coin flipping at |
| 10568s | that point and sometimes you want to run |
| 10569s | away with a rush even though you're in a |
| 10571s | rush so you can kind of kite out and do |
| 10573s | damage to them um so you almost never |
| 10575s | want to warp in at zero because you've |
| 10577s | cut all of your options at that point |
| 10579s | yeah they beat plug and play yesterday |
| 10581s | uh so sometimes we see these matches |
| 10583s | where two teams will start even it rains |
| 10585s | will start and they'll immediately start |
| 10586s | backing off from each other uh because |
| 10588s | they are gonna jostle for position as |
| 10592s | some people like to say is they move |
| 10593s | around the arena they're waiting for the |
| 10595s | right moment to just sort of parents and |
| 10597s | someone on the other side maybe gets out |
| 10598s | of position and that's your chance to |
| 10600s | strike so occasionally we get these |
| 10602s | matches where there's like five minutes |
| 10603s | of seemingly nothing going on just like |
| 10605s | 20 covers all in the arena just trying |
| 10608s | to play this spaceship video game and |
| 10610s | then suddenly everyone comes piling in |
| 10611s | and the match is over in like 90 seconds |
| 10614s | so that that's the kind of stuff that |
| 10616s | teams will be talking about when they |
| 10617s | pop in like you know who's going to back |
| 10619s | away who's going to maybe push forward |
| 10620s | especially if you've got really valuable |
| 10622s | ships that you want to be screening |
| 10624s | something off usually if you've got like |
| 10625s | a logistics Cruiser and the other side |
| 10627s | has a rush team screening is going to be |
| 10628s | super super important uh you don't want |
| 10631s | to get that Logistics Cruiser caught uh |
| 10633s | Misty uh any other sort of thoughts on |
| 10634s | positioning and things yeah I was just |
| 10637s | going to explain what screening means |
| 10638s | for those that may not be too familiar |
| 10640s | with some of the eve terms that we use |
| 10641s | so screening is a means of preventing |
| 10645s | enemy ships from getting onto the really |
| 10648s | squishy soft nice ships on your team |
| 10650s | that you need to win the match so |
| 10653s | typically when we're saying screening |
| 10654s | you're going to be screening for |
| 10657s | your logistics for your black birds for |
| 10659s | things like Celestial celesties which |
| 10662s | are not necessarily tanky ships but what |
| 10664s | they do in a match is really important |
| 10666s | either stopping ships from dying by |
| 10668s | repping them or stopping hostile ships |
| 10670s | from locking the important ships that |
| 10672s | you don't want them to shoot at |
| 10673s | so screening can be done by any ship |
| 10676s | that has a tackle module typically it's |
| 10678s | done by the smaller ships which also |
| 10680s | means that there is a lower SP |
| 10681s | requirement to get into the tournament |
| 10683s | because you can still have an impact in |
| 10685s | a match even if you've only got 5 |
| 10686s | million SP if you can fly a frigate you |
| 10689s | can fit a scram and you can follow |
| 10691s | instructions very important |
| 10693s | then you can make a difference we saw |
| 10695s | that with a Confessor earlier today when |
| 10697s | they tackled The Vindicator that was |
| 10699s | screening The Vindicator off of his team |
| 10700s | he kept him in the same position for |
| 10702s | four four or five minutes |
| 10703s | The Vindicator had little to no impact |
| 10706s | and they won the match because of it so |
| 10708s | yeah it's it's a very important |
| 10711s | means of controlling the enemy team yeah |
| 10715s | you usually see some of the more High |
| 10716s | skill sort of individual Pilots uh |
| 10718s | flying those roads you might think |
| 10720s | sometimes that uh you know the small |
| 10721s | ships are newer players or these |
| 10724s | important ones but they can be |
| 10726s | absolutely critical uh we saw the other |
| 10728s | day uh Volta vs dark side for example |
| 10730s | there was a carries a single frigate |
| 10731s | which was really giving uh the voltage |
| 10733s | side trouble and once it was eventually |
| 10734s | eliminated the match just kind of really |
| 10736s | flipped so like one single small pointed |
| 10739s | frigate really can make a huge |
| 10740s | difference in the alliance tournament |
| 10741s | now uh we have another match coming up |
| 10743s | before we go for a break and this is |
| 10744s | gonna be Odin's call versus boundary |
| 10746s | experts which I believe is our last of |
| 10748s | the winners bracket for a while uh at |
| 10750s | least until after the break maybe some |
| 10751s | more |
| 10752s | um but let's take a look at the bands uh |
| 10754s | again uh so Odin's call Banning out the |
| 10756s | abaddin the pontifex the Magus and the |
| 10758s | hyena if I remember correctly they |
| 10760s | banned both of these uh pod effects and |
| 10763s | Magus last time as well boundary experts |
| 10765s | going for the curse Deacon Loki and |
| 10768s | osprey |
| 10770s | black bear pirate any thoughts here |
| 10772s | uh yes so Odin's calls bands on the pawn |
| 10775s | fix and the Magus uh they're so far the |
| 10777s | only team that's actually been targeting |
| 10779s | the sort of uh main armor command ships |
| 10782s | that command bursts are insanely |
| 10784s | important in the alliance tournament and |
| 10786s | that's one of the reasons why these |
| 10788s | battle cruiser setups are doing so well |
| 10789s | right now is just because it has as many |
| 10792s | bursts as you possibly can get uh Osprey |
| 10795s | band is super weird and I think we |
| 10796s | actually saw them do it twice now it's |
| 10799s | just not one of those bands that really |
| 10802s | makes a lot of sense because the Osprey |
| 10805s | is not going to really do a huge amount |
| 10807s | you don't really see Ospreys and shield |
| 10809s | rushes that much people either will run |
| 10812s | people really like to run double |
| 10813s | Logistics frigates because they're so |
| 10815s | low points you don't see Ospreys and |
| 10817s | kites because they're too slow you don't |
| 10819s | even really see them in like a really |
| 10821s | heavy brawl long range Shield setup |
| 10823s | because they don't rep as much as a |
| 10824s | scimitar or a basilisk so it's strange |
| 10826s | to me but |
| 10829s | you know maybe something that they've |
| 10830s | been practicing against has been rolling |
| 10832s | them with an osprey shielders comp or |
| 10833s | something |
| 10834s | yeah Odin's called last year came second |
| 10837s | in the last term in 18 uh to truth on a |
| 10839s | light to we saw get knocked down to the |
| 10841s | elimination bracket earlier on today |
| 10842s | Odin's call will be looking to stay in |
| 10845s | the winners bracket and take one step |
| 10847s | closer to perhaps securing their first |
| 10849s | Alliance tournament win uh quite an |
| 10851s | experienced team they've been around for |
| 10852s | a little while let's see if we can look |
| 10853s | at their team profile and have a look at |
| 10856s | the Odin's call team |
| 10859s | okay so this is the top Pilots of the |
| 10861s | audience called team uh so a lot of |
| 10862s | experience here uh Colonel Kurtz has |
| 10864s | been around for quite some time 38 |
| 10866s | matches played and as we say like if you |
| 10868s | go 0 and 2 |
| 10870s | um which is kind of the minimum number |
| 10871s | of matches you can play in a tournament |
| 10872s | uh we're gonna live stream 19 that is 38 |
| 10875s | matches so you'd have to play every |
| 10877s | single tournament and got an O2 to make |
| 10878s | that number so clearly this is a man |
| 10880s | with experience |
| 10881s | um uh not just in playing but also in |
| 10883s | winning uh 50 win rate not the best we |
| 10885s | have seen better but uh still a lot of |
| 10887s | experience the Paradigm uh and Melinda |
| 10889s | as well uh into the the 20s uh with a |
| 10892s | bit of a higher win rate as well this is |
| 10894s | the team 42 people have flown uh with |
| 10897s | the Paradigm flying on the most of them |
| 10899s | pretty decent uh win loss rate there 12 |
| 10902s | wins to nine losses |
| 10904s | um and the if you look at the losses uh |
| 10906s | on the right there against pretty good |
| 10908s | teams truth on the light that those |
| 10909s | three were in uh the finals last year |
| 10911s | where they got three odd |
| 10913s | um and before that it was reform Volta |
| 10915s | in our uh best of three where they |
| 10917s | defeated Walter 2-1 and then prior to |
| 10920s | that templates calcif in the alliance |
| 10922s | tournament previously so pretty solid uh |
| 10926s | performance from that team there we |
| 10928s | certainly look to see if they can uh |
| 10930s | improve on that this year will be a very |
| 10931s | exciting uh you know a whole new team to |
| 10933s | add to the monument in Monarch |
| 10936s | um boundary experts they were a top 16 |
| 10938s | team last year uh maybe we can look at |
| 10940s | their profile as well I think we have |
| 10941s | that one to hand |
| 10943s | there we are so 29 Pilots have played on |
| 10945s | the ranger experts team Avery Lewis by |
| 10947s | far the most experienced they're playing |
| 10948s | in 17 rounds uh with no one else setting |
| 10951s | 10. uh reasonable uh win loss rate there |
| 10954s | uh five wins to four losses of course |
| 10957s | they've beaten templates already in this |
| 10958s | tournament and then last year losing to |
| 10960s | Deepwater Hooligans |
| 10963s | um they previously lost to a couple of |
| 10964s | teams including Odin's call actually uh |
| 10966s | back in the last tournament 17. so this |
| 10968s | is kind of a little bit of a rematch for |
| 10970s | uh for boundary experts uh to pull back |
| 10973s | some uh e honor mystical mate any |
| 10976s | thoughts on this particular match up |
| 10978s | here I think it should be a fairly |
| 10979s | exciting one I spoke with the Odin |
| 10982s | school team actually I spoke with |
| 10984s | Colonel Kurtz and Hunter I believe |
| 10986s | um and they taught me a bit about the |
| 10987s | team and the fact that it was fairly new |
| 10990s | um so it's really exciting to see them |
| 10991s | doing well in tournaments and hitting |
| 10993s | that second place spot last year |
| 10994s | hopefully we'll see them continue on to |
| 10997s | maybe first but sadly that's already |
| 10999s | taken by frats that's fine they can get |
| 11001s | second again I believe in them it should |
| 11004s | be a good matchup I'm being told that |
| 11006s | audience call are bringing their |
| 11007s | Flagship bar guest to this uh this |
| 11010s | matchup and uh of course they like I |
| 11012s | said they came second last year they |
| 11013s | would have got their fair share of prize |
| 11014s | ships uh they're also Wormhole Alliance |
| 11017s | so they're going to be relatively flush |
| 11019s | with field cash so I imagine they're |
| 11021s | also not going to achieve pirate you |
| 11022s | know if you're a team that can make the |
| 11025s | finals you may as well go pretty hard |
| 11027s | and go all in and you know build one of |
| 11029s | these really expensive flagships that |
| 11031s | being said Blackboard part uh flagships |
| 11033s | over the last like what four matches |
| 11035s | it's not going well for them |
| 11038s | this day has had a lot of dead flagships |
| 11041s | um like a lot of dead flagships in fact |
| 11043s | a significantly large amount compared to |
| 11045s | what we usually see so uh they are |
| 11047s | taking the risk maybe they'll break the |
| 11048s | streak but if not well we'll get to see |
| 11050s | another big expensive kill now who knows |
| 11052s | who knows that will be exciting I would |
| 11054s | uh I kind of like to see it but at the |
| 11056s | same time I've got a little bit of a |
| 11058s | soft spot for Odin's call getting to uh |
| 11060s | second place last year and then getting |
| 11061s | three old and now they're surviving in |
| 11063s | the in the winners bracketeer |
| 11065s | um but we can pretty much get ready to |
| 11067s | hand over to the arena for Odin's call |
| 11069s | versus brandy experts with our casters |
| 11071s | Wingnut cross and Yin tan |
| 11077s | hello everyone and welcome to the arena |
| 11080s | we have Odin's core here representing a |
| 11083s | composition we've not seen a huge amount |
| 11084s | of this tournament with Miss or kite |
| 11086s | those are heavy missile Osprey Navy |
| 11088s | issues and Rapid light authorises there |
| 11090s | uh that are going to be trying to keep |
| 11092s | all of those uh tackle frigates from uh |
| 11096s | boundary experts offer their back |
| 11097s | although I say all those things there |
| 11100s | aren't any uh wait no take us through |
| 11102s | what boundary experts are brought here |
| 11104s | well this is kind of like an old the old |
| 11105s | blood meets the Noble in terms of comps |
| 11107s | because of course you said missile kite |
| 11108s | we are bringing maximum threat basically |
| 11110s | except there's not even a frigate on |
| 11112s | this car they've brought the light small |
| 11113s | thing as a heckerty they're going all |
| 11114s | the way up with us a lot of battle |
| 11116s | Cruisers some uh some crazy DPS as well |
| 11118s | like I said it's kind of like the old |
| 11120s | school missile kite meets the the new |
| 11122s | version of Rush in a way |
| 11124s | yeah the opening seconds of this match |
| 11126s | are going to be so crucial though they |
| 11128s | need to uh sorry boundary experts need |
| 11130s | to kill what that scalpel or that Kirin |
| 11132s | or potentially that bite for us to very |
| 11134s | very quickly in the match because if |
| 11135s | they don't they do not have any tackle |
| 11137s | to be able to lock it down uh later on |
| 11139s | in the game |
| 11141s | yeah and they'll just need to start |
| 11142s | trading as fast as humanly possible as |
| 11144s | well they can project at range just like |
| 11146s | the opposing team can but their damage |
| 11147s | is instant and look at that Hard maybe |
| 11149s | already and this is a power of all these |
| 11151s | rapid lights as well this is gonna be |
| 11152s | brutal they're gonna trade quickly they |
| 11155s | are going for the bar Frost that |
| 11156s | definitely I think they heard you there |
| 11158s | but uh it is not going down look at the |
| 11160s | DPS getting put on the harbinger of |
| 11162s | Xander he's not already oh my Lord |
| 11166s | you know of course normally this kind of |
| 11168s | comes like to bring a hyena they brought |
| 11169s | a bike from a visual story as their |
| 11171s | paint ship here that's pretty much all |
| 11172s | they need for Rapid lights plus rapid |
| 11173s | Heavies and this is already looking |
| 11176s | horrifically bad for this team they've |
| 11178s | got all the DPS in the world but where |
| 11180s | does it go what's going on here I'm not |
| 11181s | seeing really anything happening it's |
| 11182s | not even anything they're trying to kill |
| 11184s | Melinda in that Flagship they're trying |
| 11186s | to go for the headshot trying to take |
| 11187s | out the billions and billions of isk |
| 11190s | that have probably been poured into that |
| 11191s | and it's not going well for them here |
| 11193s | that Oracle is going to die before they |
| 11195s | run through the clips they probably got |
| 11196s | 10 15 shots more left in there and |
| 11198s | that's going to be enough to kill him |
| 11199s | and that with that Melinda should be |
| 11201s | safe assuming that's any sort of |
| 11203s | standard fit for them they're just |
| 11207s | completely ripped the top the head off |
| 11209s | of boundary experts |
| 11211s | and the exact name they've got all their |
| 11213s | cruises in there this is the best chance |
| 11215s | but you can see of course the the |
| 11216s | buggers are great at self-screening and |
| 11218s | this is the moment they kind of want to |
| 11219s | screen this is the moments that make |
| 11220s | these Burgers good this is what is the |
| 11222s | reason why Burgess became freaking meta |
| 11224s | for a while they can self-screen run |
| 11226s | away and be in absolute Menace but that |
| 11228s | that buggers is holding right on Peak |
| 11230s | region at the moment he's just chilling |
| 11232s | around 30 there is still slowly creeping |
| 11235s | down but then he boosts back up but he's |
| 11236s | he's creeping down that girl can last |
| 11237s | long enough |
| 11239s | no way no way |
| 11246s | from a boundary experts this could be |
| 11248s | that they've upset templates yesterday |
| 11249s | they could do it again these guys upset |
| 11254s | come on please I want to see how many |
| 11257s | billions are in that baby just live |
| 11259s | for a little longer |
| 11264s | the oracle's down they're gonna overheat |
| 11265s | they've got a lot of drones on it too |
| 11266s | they've got quite a bit smart bomb goes |
| 11268s | off from Melinda trying to remove these |
| 11269s | as I mentioned them try and chat |
| 11273s | over there I'm pretty sure once that eni |
| 11276s | goes down |
| 11280s | whoa we were so helpful he's still going |
| 11283s | down like he's not taking it they're |
| 11285s | trying so desperately to keep this flag |
| 11287s | alive are you trying to actually to kill |
| 11288s | it this is still a race they wouldn't |
| 11290s | win the match anymore they just want to |
| 11291s | get the flag |
| 11293s | if they get the flag that would be |
| 11295s | enough to at least give them huge |
| 11299s | [Music] |
| 11301s | heck and he goes down |
| 11303s | GPS and he's still creeping Hull |
| 11307s | that's for this oh hold on wait oh wait |
| 11311s | I just saw that Shield |
| 11325s | 18 oh my God |
| 11331s | that's it the top two teams from last |
| 11333s | year's Alliance tournament and now |
| 11335s | without a flagship within the first two |
| 11338s | games they don't need to win the match |
| 11340s | they have won already |
| 11344s | now below the wreck |
| 11346s | [Laughter] |
| 11348s | just remove it quickly |
| 11350s | yeah |
| 11351s | but oh my Lord oh my to beat down one of |
| 11357s | the previous 20 champions in templates |
| 11359s | and then come in and just remove the |
| 11362s | flag from an entirely different top tier |
| 11363s | team like bruh boundary experts just put |
| 11367s | themselves on the map immediately big |
| 11370s | big respect and the whack is dead as |
| 11373s | well I don't know if they managed to |
| 11374s | loot anything from that but |
| 11378s | I mean hundreds of billion billions of |
| 11380s | isk just evaporated from the server that |
| 11383s | is there and as we've been saying all |
| 11385s | throughout the evening this is on |
| 11386s | Tranquility this is real money this |
| 11388s | isn't no Monopoly money people have |
| 11391s | grinded for hours days months years to |
| 11394s | get the money together for these |
| 11395s | flagships and now they are no longer in |
| 11397s | existence |
| 11399s | Melinda who's flying the flag Park in |
| 11402s | local says cat booster burnt out |
| 11404s | hahaha |
| 11406s | I I don't know if he's trolling or not |
| 11408s | but either way it doesn't matter that is |
| 11410s | a flag down it's just that is a |
| 11412s | Herculean effort to get through this |
| 11414s | High DPS kiting missile calm get onto a |
| 11417s | incredibly slippery ship by the way |
| 11420s | I snag it and kill it people while your |
| 11422s | entire comp is exploding around you like |
| 11424s | confetti that is that is like an image |
| 11426s | that will stay in my brain forever Bravo |
| 11430s | yeah that that's there's some commitment |
| 11432s | there I mean for winning two though of |
| 11436s | course I mean we've absolutely got |
| 11437s | respect odins for winning but at what |
| 11439s | cost at what cost uh according to Z kill |
| 11442s | 76 billion |
| 11445s | worth every penny baby |
| 11450s | hang down |
| 11451s | over the end of this match soon unless |
| 11453s | they clip no I think they're gonna kill |
| 11455s | big respect again well done boundary |
| 11457s | experts you've made us all excited well |
| 11459s | done Odin's call for the win and with |
| 11461s | that we'll get back to the studio and |
| 11462s | see what they think on that one |
| 11479s | foreign |
| 11483s | [Applause] |
| 11498s | [Music] |
| 11507s | [Music] |
| 11526s | thank you |
| 11530s | [Music] |
| 11550s | casing you you are one of two people |
| 11553s | that couldn't listen and couldn't check |
| 11556s | bookmarks and find your own way out the |
| 11558s | route the entire route was literally |
| 11560s | bookmarked out to low sick a bookmarked |
| 11563s | the 10 minutes in advance |
| 11565s | Odin's call there winning uh but at the |
| 11568s | the cost of the destruction of their |
| 11570s | Flagship uh is uh no longer a flagship |
| 11573s | which is pieces of a flagship scattered |
| 11575s | around the arena uh in Juve space so uh |
| 11578s | F to that uh it's definitely an |
| 11580s | expensive loss for them of course it did |
| 11583s | secure them price ships uh by taking |
| 11585s | this when they are an R2 know in the |
| 11586s | Winner's brackets so they should be able |
| 11588s | to recoup the cost by uh by selling |
| 11590s | Aflac uh uh price ship that will |
| 11594s | certainly cover the cost of it but even |
| 11595s | still pretty expensive let's take a |
| 11597s | quick look at that kill Mill uh as Jin |
| 11599s | tan mentioned on the match |
| 11602s | 76.13 billion uh internal credits at the |
| 11606s | same uh high slot rapid heavy missile |
| 11609s | launchers estimel's as the truth on the |
| 11611s | light Flagship this time uh very lucky |
| 11614s | that five of them dropped so um if |
| 11616s | Brenda experts scooped those they're |
| 11618s | going to be very pleased because that |
| 11619s | right there is a 42 and a half billion |
| 11622s | uh one of the key differences between |
| 11624s | the truth and the light one uh and this |
| 11626s | one is the damage control not quite as |
| 11628s | expensive only a poultry 11 billion |
| 11631s | instead of 35 billion uh so Room to Grow |
| 11634s | Odin's call for sure uh but still that's |
| 11637s | uh the the flagship again basically is |
| 11640s | still being continuing that's quite a |
| 11641s | few flagships dropping really fast we |
| 11644s | wanted to quickly shout out uh excellent |
| 11646s | job really by boundary experts they |
| 11647s | recognized pretty early on uh that you |
| 11650s | know what we're probably not gonna win |
| 11650s | this match but gosh darn we can take |
| 11652s | down that Flagship uh as we go uh I |
| 11655s | think when they lost their Harbinger |
| 11657s | Navy issue quite a relatively tanky ship |
| 11660s | in 27 seconds they were like oh so they |
| 11664s | just went all in on that Flagship any |
| 11666s | any quick thoughts Misty yeah I mean we |
| 11668s | didn't really know if the flagship was |
| 11669s | going to die we thought it might |
| 11671s | actually survive once the heck it went |
| 11672s | down towards the end uh but no it the |
| 11676s | boundary experts team managed to power |
| 11677s | on through drag that Flagship down with |
| 11679s | them I think the important thing to note |
| 11680s | is that Odin's will be able to scoop |
| 11683s | those modules because they won the match |
| 11685s | by the point that the flagship went down |
| 11687s | I don't think boundary experts really |
| 11688s | had much left to shoot the wreck so can |
| 11690s | recoup some of those losses but they |
| 11692s | can't bring a flagship in the tournament |
| 11693s | yeah very well very well said now we're |
| 11695s | gonna go for a short break uh let the |
| 11697s | crew have a little bit of a sit there |
| 11699s | and maybe maybe some food and then we'll |
| 11701s | be back in about uh 30 minutes so stick |
| 11703s | around and we'll see you then |
| 11710s | welcome back to Atlanta 19 I am CCV |
| 11714s | overload joined once again by Blackboard |
| 11716s | pirate and moderator uh here for more |
| 11718s | exciting matches still in the winners |
| 11720s | bracket |
| 11721s | um uh of this day two of Alliance |
| 11723s | tournament 19. so again these teams are |
| 11725s | winning ships we've seen an absolute |
| 11727s | plethora of flagships just I mean |
| 11731s | there's no no way of saying this eat |
| 11732s | and die in the last sort of like |
| 11734s | five six matches in a row uh hundreds of |
| 11737s | billions of uh Magic Internet space |
| 11739s | money has just been exploded everywhere |
| 11741s | all over the arena black bar pirate this |
| 11744s | is quite exciting though this is quite |
| 11745s | exciting and this doesn't happen that |
| 11747s | much I don't think uh I can't think of a |
| 11750s | time when we've seen at least it was |
| 11752s | either four or five flagships get blown |
| 11753s | up in a row like this like this is this |
| 11755s | is new new and exciting territory we're |
| 11757s | in everyone is just they're just feeding |
| 11759s | constantly they can't stop even if |
| 11760s | they're winning they're feeding so this |
| 11763s | needs to continue like please teams that |
| 11765s | are coming out like bring us more dead |
| 11768s | flagships I see moderator gleeful at the |
| 11771s | destruction of uh Flags about their |
| 11773s | Flagship mod you've been in the back |
| 11774s | watching these matches how have they |
| 11775s | been for you |
| 11777s | I've just been rooting for every |
| 11778s | Flagship to just die even if the team |
| 11781s | loses to do it it's worth it because we |
| 11783s | get to see Internet space explosions and |
| 11786s | that's what we're all here for at the |
| 11787s | end of the day it's exactly what we're |
| 11789s | all here for I did guarantee uh |
| 11791s | spaceship explosions at the start of |
| 11792s | this tournament uh and guarantee clearly |
| 11795s | has been correct |
| 11797s | um unlike some people at Coffee |
| 11800s | um all right let's look at our bands for |
| 11802s | our upcoming match no vacancies versus |
| 11804s | fraternity again this is Winners bracket |
| 11806s | so these teams are fighting for prize |
| 11808s | ships Novak Banning out the carries the |
| 11810s | mollusk the Blackbird and the celestis |
| 11812s | really not a fan of uh of damps here are |
| 11815s | the Novak team fraternity going for the |
| 11817s | Nighthawk the author of The Scimitar and |
| 11819s | the Osprey |
| 11821s | um moderator what do you make of these |
| 11822s | bands |
| 11823s | so Novak clearly has been seeing |
| 11826s | something either than their scrims or |
| 11828s | something coming up where they've just |
| 11831s | been getting damped out and they're |
| 11832s | saying hey if you want to do it you got |
| 11834s | to go bring uh lachesis and or an eraser |
| 11838s | or even |
| 11839s | um Blackbird is again common ECM band |
| 11842s | very cost effective for the number of |
| 11844s | points whereas fraternity they're |
| 11846s | hitting on uh the Nighthawk and the |
| 11848s | authoris which gets at kind of a |
| 11850s | combination of that caldari rush but |
| 11853s | also a kite setup Scimitar again like |
| 11856s | the logic of choice for a kite setup and |
| 11858s | Osprey the secondary choice of any sort |
| 11861s | of a kite or a Russia lodgy |
| 11863s | and bar anything to kind of add here |
| 11865s | um no I think moderator actually just |
| 11867s | kind of hit it all out of the park there |
| 11868s | uh it is it is super weird to see |
| 11871s | um this many damp ships get banned out I |
| 11874s | don't think damps have been particularly |
| 11875s | effective there's been like one or two |
| 11877s | times uh we saw in the Volta game dance |
| 11880s | were the key like once that carries us |
| 11881s | down the entire thing shifted but other |
| 11883s | than that it's a uh it's a very hard |
| 11886s | setup to play with |
| 11888s | um I don't think it's been particularly |
| 11890s | insane in this one uh I can say and I'm |
| 11893s | probably about to get proven wrong I |
| 11894s | very much doubt we're going to see |
| 11895s | latissis or narazu as both of those |
| 11897s | ships are terrible in the tournament |
| 11899s | setting but maybe they'll do it like |
| 11901s | maybe this will be the time they're like |
| 11902s | oh yeah well look what we brought I'm |
| 11904s | being told fraternity bringing their |
| 11906s | Flagship uh Vindicator to this |
| 11908s | particular matchup so the the flagship |
| 11910s | Feeding Frenzy might continue uh for |
| 11913s | another match uh I mean it's been |
| 11916s | literally 100 of matches for the last |
| 11918s | like six matches in a row uh have just |
| 11920s | been feeding their flagships uh so frap |
| 11923s | trying to be like hey nope we're not |
| 11924s | gonna feed honest uh so I guess |
| 11927s | someone's gonna be uh maybe holding on |
| 11930s | for for dear life in this particular |
| 11931s | match uh what are your predictions here |
| 11933s | Novak uh not the most historic |
| 11935s | tournament team they've struggled over |
| 11936s | recent years but I mean they're here in |
| 11938s | the winners bracket Bart what do you |
| 11940s | think well they've won a game so they |
| 11942s | made it to this point which is uh more |
| 11944s | than we can say about some of the |
| 11945s | actually a good amount of teams at this |
| 11947s | point so uh I feel like fraternity has |
| 11949s | been really really good this year though |
| 11951s | and I know Misty is going to be happy to |
| 11952s | hear me say that but that's why I'm |
| 11954s | feeling fraternity on this one okay mod |
| 11956s | one word answers fraternity awesome all |
| 11959s | right it's time to head over to the |
| 11960s | arena with your casters Alex and Chad |
| 11968s | tag team here introducing this match |
| 11971s | between new vacancy and fraternity No |
| 11973s | Vacancy has brought a balgorn Armageddon |
| 11977s | Navy EOS top end with a pretty control |
| 11980s | based low end with a pair of logistics |
| 11981s | frigates Chad flame what do we have on |
| 11984s | the fraternity side |
| 11986s | it's interesting you said we have a flag |
| 11988s | Vindicator paired with a redeemer oh |
| 11989s | neros with also a low end with a lot of |
| 11993s | e-work control what do you expect to see |
| 11994s | in the beginning of this match |
| 11996s | it's gonna be interesting both teams |
| 11998s | kind of have a similar idea here you've |
| 11999s | got no vacancies investing more of their |
| 12002s | neutralizer power in the balgor and |
| 12004s | slash get a Navy issue where you see the |
| 12006s | fraternity deciding to go with it on the |
| 12008s | euros and put more of the new power on |
| 12010s | the low end with those Sentinels |
| 12012s | Sentinels noticeably more fragile than |
| 12015s | the balgorn so I think you know vacancy |
| 12018s | says a little bit more staying power and |
| 12020s | I think that Vindicator is going to be |
| 12021s | under a lot of pressure from the |
| 12023s | neutralizers of the No Vacancy team this |
| 12026s | is going to depend on some Target |
| 12027s | calling here the neutralizer spread is |
| 12029s | going to be key for both teams |
| 12032s | yeah as well as we see the spread of the |
| 12034s | weapon disruptors from both teams it's |
| 12036s | going to be a match that comes down to |
| 12037s | the e-war once again in positioning and |
| 12040s | who gets that Advantage as we see both |
| 12041s | teams already trying to set up the best |
| 12043s | position they can for themselves |
| 12045s | and very interestingly the no vacancies |
| 12047s | team despite facing fraternities |
| 12050s | tracking disruptors that you had to |
| 12051s | expect they would see based on these |
| 12053s | bands they do have that get a Navy which |
| 12056s | is a missile and drone ship they've got |
| 12058s | the EOS which is a German ship the vexer |
| 12059s | Navy which is a drone ship so they're |
| 12062s | they're not as disadvantaged by |
| 12064s | fraternities tracking disrupter comp as |
| 12066s | you would expect although I do see some |
| 12067s | missile guidance disruption going out on |
| 12069s | that get in fraternity not putting all |
| 12071s | of their eggs into that basket |
| 12073s | and it is an interesting thing that you |
| 12075s | pointed out there running turrets on the |
| 12077s | belgorn and missiles on the good Navy |
| 12080s | allowing the tracking disruptors that |
| 12082s | were brought that normally you would |
| 12084s | think would not be able to be used |
| 12085s | because all my weapon systems usually |
| 12088s | the same now every single weapon |
| 12089s | disrupter from that team is being |
| 12091s | effectively used |
| 12094s | now both teams keeping their drones |
| 12095s | pulled in here seems like they're |
| 12097s | reluctant to engage Chad what do you |
| 12099s | think is going to be the ghost signal |
| 12101s | here is both teams are kind of |
| 12102s | positioning themselves a little |
| 12104s | cautiously |
| 12105s | uh you either get a good drone hit on a |
| 12108s | Target someone comes out of position uh |
| 12111s | range comes into play sometimes maybe |
| 12113s | maybe you get some newts off on somebody |
| 12114s | there's a lot of things that could put |
| 12116s | something in to uh play here sometimes |
| 12118s | it just comes down to someone feeling |
| 12119s | confident in the position they're in or |
| 12121s | that the other team overextended and |
| 12123s | just immediately saying let's go in and |
| 12124s | do this we have a slight advantage |
| 12127s | yeah we see that a vacancy team they're |
| 12129s | slowly pushing forward which is forcing |
| 12132s | for Trinity to slowly withdraw here we |
| 12135s | do have a flight of heavy explosive |
| 12138s | drones out from the EOS but they have |
| 12140s | not picked the target yet they're still |
| 12143s | sussing it out but what we do see is the |
| 12145s | get a navy and Baldwin trying to push |
| 12148s | their way forward probably looking to |
| 12149s | get a choice Newt application my guess |
| 12152s | is once they assign the newts to that |
| 12154s | Target nuke the capacitor down make them |
| 12157s | unable to activate their microwork |
| 12158s | driver afterburner that may be the ship |
| 12161s | they decide to go in on but both teams |
| 12163s | are able to you know work their game |
| 12166s | plan without getting in close I think |
| 12168s | the fraternity team noticeably wants to |
| 12170s | be a lot closer than no vacancies but no |
| 12173s | vacancies the team that's kind of |
| 12175s | telegraphing a bit of aggression here |
| 12177s | what do you make of that |
| 12178s | it's interesting like you said |
| 12180s | fraternity wants to get in on this |
| 12182s | action and that Vindicator but it's hard |
| 12184s | to want to get in on that action when |
| 12186s | the front line of the no vacancies team |
| 12187s | is using two extremely powerful nuding |
| 12190s | ships to lead their charge as well as |
| 12193s | having those balgorn webs The Vindicator |
| 12195s | having bonuses to strength the webs the |
| 12197s | Battleground having a bonus to the range |
| 12199s | of webs meaning they might be able to |
| 12201s | hold off that Vindicator a little bit |
| 12202s | even if it is a flag Vindicator it looks |
| 12205s | like newts had been starting to get |
| 12206s | applied to set Vindicator actually |
| 12209s | yep The Vindicator has been neuted and |
| 12212s | we do see more of the new vacancy steam |
| 12215s | charging for the jogger noticeably |
| 12216s | getting a lot more aggressive here as |
| 12218s | the Confessor from fraternity moves into |
| 12221s | screen but has to be very very careful |
| 12223s | that he himself does not get caught it |
| 12225s | looks like they've landed webs on that |
| 12226s | Sentinel Sentinel is webbed and nuded |
| 12228s | and now we see the Drone commitment the |
| 12231s | fraternity Sentinel has been caught out |
| 12232s | of position kind of drawn forward by the |
| 12235s | aggression of the drauger and aggression |
| 12237s | of the balgorn and it is properly caught |
| 12240s | here it will have a nearest to support |
| 12242s | him so it's not game over for the |
| 12244s | Sentinel but it only has a small number |
| 12246s | of low sods not really enough to fit a |
| 12248s | decent armor tank there it's an |
| 12250s | electronic warfare ship not an assault |
| 12252s | frigate you did mention like you said |
| 12254s | what's going to start this it seems now |
| 12256s | that the fraternity team is sending in a |
| 12258s | few screeners to try and keep people off |
| 12259s | of that signal and we are starting to |
| 12261s | see the engagement actually happen |
| 12264s | yeah you've got the fraternity drone |
| 12265s | zipping on over to The Inquisitor from |
| 12267s | no vacancies trying to put pressure on |
| 12269s | their logic that's a smart call from |
| 12271s | them if they can destabilize the logite |
| 12273s | pair that'll be a huge feather in their |
| 12275s | cap for this match |
| 12277s | meanwhile the fraternity Sentinel |
| 12279s | dipping in and out of uh High armor |
| 12282s | there the inera seems very comfortable |
| 12283s | wrapping him up but they're also |
| 12285s | splitting fire now between it and the |
| 12287s | Confessor just going to put a little |
| 12289s | more pressure on the decision making for |
| 12290s | that areas they could swap damage |
| 12293s | extremely quickly note The Sentinel |
| 12295s | actually got out of web range thanks to |
| 12298s | a screener in that Confessor and vni |
| 12300s | grabbing those two battleships on the no |
| 12302s | vacancies team so Sentinel is free |
| 12303s | taking a little bit of new hits so |
| 12305s | probably not activating it full capacity |
| 12307s | but those screeners have gotten in there |
| 12308s | and tackled those battleships and held |
| 12310s | them down and is now allowing fraternity |
| 12312s | to almost reset their positioning and |
| 12314s | try to get as much of an advantage with |
| 12316s | that as possible as they're shooting the |
| 12318s | vexer |
| 12320s | yeah it's great play from the fraternity |
| 12322s | screening Squad you've got the Confessor |
| 12324s | who's fully pinned down the balgorn and |
| 12326s | really isn't under any threat don't let |
| 12328s | the lack of shields fool you there the |
| 12330s | focus is now definitely on the vexer |
| 12332s | Navy issue of Syrian which will be an |
| 12334s | easier Target for them to kill but |
| 12337s | unfortunately the nearest again still |
| 12339s | repping comfortably there's not a ton of |
| 12340s | damage coming out from the new vacancies |
| 12342s | team I think that's their one weakness |
| 12344s | here they've got a great long game with |
| 12346s | these neutralizers the longer the match |
| 12348s | goes I think the more it's in their |
| 12349s | favor but they've got to start getting |
| 12351s | the newts onto the oniros right now they |
| 12354s | are only putting a little bit of |
| 12355s | pressure on him it needs to get ramped |
| 12356s | up meanwhile rain Rowe the desync |
| 12359s | dragger oh |
| 12361s | that's a huge loss that no vacancies |
| 12363s | drawer has been caught and dropped |
| 12366s | as always you know you put those new |
| 12368s | Vindicator webs on ships like that uh |
| 12371s | small ships The Vindicator but the power |
| 12373s | of the 90 webs that it has makes |
| 12375s | tracking ease and it chunks through |
| 12377s | ships known for the damage that it has |
| 12379s | as well |
| 12380s | yeah very crucially the no vacancies |
| 12382s | logistic team nowhere to be found on |
| 12384s | that one I think perhaps reluctant to |
| 12387s | risk getting tackled by The Vindicator |
| 12388s | themselves just to save the dragger uh |
| 12391s | trying to hold themselves in for the |
| 12393s | late game but that's still a huge loss |
| 12394s | for no vacancies that's a big pile of |
| 12397s | links from their team they still have |
| 12398s | the EOS which you would have to assume |
| 12400s | has some command links fit but it's |
| 12402s | still a pretty big loss of not just |
| 12404s | links but also a significant chunk of |
| 12406s | damage the jogger is a very high DPS |
| 12408s | destroyer and now that's not available |
| 12410s | for them |
| 12411s | it's interesting we're down seven almost |
| 12414s | seven minutes into this match here and |
| 12417s | it's been played so slowly and carefully |
| 12419s | by each team finding positions that |
| 12421s | mistakes like that might be what turns |
| 12423s | the tides of this match it could be |
| 12424s | ending eight to zero it could be the |
| 12426s | Snowball Effect that starts this as we |
| 12428s | see still fraternities just holding down |
| 12430s | those battleships and making them sit |
| 12431s | there and do absolutely nothing while |
| 12433s | they get disrupted by these Sentinels in |
| 12435s | arbitrator |
| 12437s | now the inera is still under some slight |
| 12439s | new pressure but probably not nearly as |
| 12440s | much as no vacancies would like |
| 12442s | meanwhile their Logistics frigates still |
| 12444s | getting pounded damage beginning to get |
| 12445s | spread throughout their team just going |
| 12448s | to put pressure on them if they're if |
| 12449s | they're stuck repping each other away |
| 12451s | from the fight |
| 12452s | uh that's not great for the rest of the |
| 12454s | team Logistics frigates have a terribly |
| 12456s | short range they're going to have to put |
| 12457s | themselves at risk if they want to |
| 12459s | support some of these larger ships in |
| 12461s | their comp |
| 12462s | meanwhile the damage is starting to get |
| 12464s | pretty heavy onto uh onto those frigates |
| 12466s | so they they're gonna have some choices |
| 12468s | to make do they keep themselves alive do |
| 12471s | they commit to try to risk their team if |
| 12473s | they do can fraternity pivot tackle them |
| 12476s | and put a nail in the coffin of no |
| 12478s | vacancies but they're under pressure |
| 12479s | here no vacancies has two minutes to |
| 12481s | kill something because right now they're |
| 12483s | down on points |
| 12485s | exactly and you know being a logic |
| 12487s | frigate in this match there's two of you |
| 12489s | so you got to really depend on your |
| 12490s | partner and communicate sometimes you |
| 12492s | can't even be verbal while you're |
| 12493s | commuting because there's so many things |
| 12494s | going on on cons in these myths but the |
| 12496s | worst thing you could see on grid |
| 12497s | besides maybe some nudes is is that |
| 12499s | Vindicator if you get slightly too close |
| 12501s | to that Vindicator you will not move |
| 12503s | because those Vindicator webs and you |
| 12505s | are stuck there and you have made a bad |
| 12506s | decision you're gonna have to bounce in |
| 12507s | and out and really find the balance of |
| 12510s | location of those logic frigates and |
| 12512s | hope you don't over commit we're |
| 12513s | actually seeing the vexer Navy though of |
| 12515s | fraternity start to go down a lot |
| 12516s | quicker than it was earlier |
| 12518s | yeah meanwhile The Vindicator is |
| 12520s | barreling toward what looks like the OG |
| 12522s | Navy or perhaps the vexard Navy of no |
| 12524s | vacancies once it gets there those ships |
| 12526s | are going to be royally screwed it looks |
| 12528s | like it's committing to the OG Navy not |
| 12531s | my choice of the two but that's where it |
| 12533s | is that Old Navy is going to be a tough |
| 12535s | nut to crack but without any Logistics |
| 12537s | help it will go down meanwhile that |
| 12539s | vexer Navy beginning to bleed here I |
| 12541s | think the body shots on the ineros the |
| 12544s | the capacitor drain they've been putting |
| 12545s | on it starting to take its toll it's |
| 12547s | also been scrammed now which is going to |
| 12549s | make it even easier for them to apply |
| 12550s | that pressure vexer Navy now down to |
| 12553s | half armor The Vindicator is putting out |
| 12556s | damage but that auger Navy has got a lot |
| 12558s | more hit points than the vexer Navy it's |
| 12560s | going to be a bit of a race here |
| 12562s | another thing to note though that Vector |
| 12564s | Navy is only worth six points with about |
| 12565s | a minute left in the match if no |
| 12567s | vacancies takes out that vegetable they |
| 12568s | will still be down two points you're |
| 12570s | gonna have to kill something else other |
| 12571s | than that vexer to catch up in points to |
| 12573s | win this match with 45 seconds left that |
| 12576s | Sentinel is a prime candidate dark-eyed |
| 12578s | razor is caught here he's he's low armor |
| 12580s | they might be able to close him out in |
| 12581s | the final 30 seconds if they do they |
| 12583s | will win this match if they don't |
| 12584s | fraternity will advance this is all |
| 12587s | coming down to this one kill can they |
| 12590s | put this Sentinel away after the |
| 12591s | vaccinating oh the veterinavius caught |
| 12593s | reps they might not kill the vexer Navy |
| 12595s | at all we're about 15 seconds 20 seconds |
| 12598s | away that vexer Navy just got a huge |
| 12601s | injection of hit points here that anira |
| 12603s | is coming in clutch for his team |
| 12604s | meanwhile the auger Navy down to its |
| 12607s | last 10 percent armor it may drop |
| 12610s | match |
| 12613s | I think fraternity is taking this |
| 12618s | holy crap that was a match that went |
| 12620s | down to time with only one loss |
| 12622s | officially on the board I do not know it |
| 12624s | was that auger counted as a loss as time |
| 12625s | expired |
| 12627s | wow uh what an what a match we're gonna |
| 12629s | throw back to the desk for analysis but |
| 12631s | that was a nail biter |
| 12649s | [Music] |
| 12653s | thank you |
| 12658s | [Music] |
| 12661s | for yourself |
| 12672s | forever |
| 12674s | [Applause] |
| 12676s | [Music] |
| 12678s | [Applause] |
| 12682s | [Music] |
| 12688s | guys stop being casual they're really |
| 12691s | bad we should not lose anybody to this |
| 12693s | warp off take the fleet warp everybody |
| 12695s | warp off this is a really really bad |
| 12697s | execution I'm very disappointed |
| 12703s | guns |
| 12713s | [Laughter] |
| 12716s | hahaha |
| 12718s | return to their taking the W in |
| 12721s | certainly one of the matches of all time |
| 12723s | and eight nil victory in what I mean if |
| 12726s | you're watching it it can look sometimes |
| 12727s | a little bit slow but I'm sure for all |
| 12729s | 20 of the pilots involved that would |
| 12731s | have been a nail biter all the way |
| 12732s | through lots of talking back and forth |
| 12734s | lots of this lots of that uh it |
| 12736s | certainly had its moments uh there was |
| 12738s | one point we were watching we saw one of |
| 12740s | the fraternity Sentinels get caught out |
| 12741s | of position uh he was tackled by what |
| 12743s | looked like the balgorn uh and then |
| 12745s | Novak quickly ran in with the Confessor |
| 12747s | vexer Navy issue and managed to screen |
| 12749s | the two battleships apart from each |
| 12751s | other which probably is what allowed |
| 12752s | that Sentinel to survive uh it looked |
| 12755s | like it was a newt balgar and Phil new |
| 12757s | balgorn uh Blackberry pirate what do you |
| 12759s | think about the these full nude balgorns |
| 12761s | uh We've we've seen them throughout the |
| 12762s | years |
| 12763s | um they've really not been that good in |
| 12765s | modern times uh they used to bring full |
| 12767s | new balgorns back in the day when like a |
| 12770s | lot of the point costs were reduced so |
| 12772s | you could bring a full new balgorn and |
| 12774s | then like four battle Cruisers and a |
| 12776s | Tech Two Logistics Cruiser and a couple |
| 12778s | T3 destroyers and you can't do that |
| 12780s | anymore because the points have been |
| 12781s | bumped up since that was kind of |
| 12783s | oppressively overpowered uh nowadays not |
| 12787s | having DPS |
| 12789s | really bad and we saw it right there |
| 12792s | because the Sentinel got caught horribly |
| 12794s | out of position like that Sentinel |
| 12795s | should have died if the balgorn had guns |
| 12797s | The Sentinel dies there because the |
| 12799s | Battleground could have just stopped its |
| 12801s | ship and pressed F1 the most important |
| 12803s | and decisive of all Battleship tactics |
| 12805s | you can do in this entire game and blow |
| 12807s | the Sentinel up before they were able to |
| 12808s | uh before fraternity was able to react |
| 12810s | and kind of split off and handle the |
| 12812s | situation so I don't like full loop |
| 12815s | algorns I think that they maybe it's a |
| 12817s | little bit smarter than doing a full |
| 12818s | nude Flagship armaged Navy issue which |
| 12820s | those just die apparently but full new |
| 12824s | Battlegrounds really not the correct |
| 12825s | choice and mod what about the uh Play |
| 12828s | From The Vindicator there |
| 12830s | um of the fraternity side the flagship |
| 12832s | which didn't die for a change which is |
| 12834s | kind of nice we saw him catch that drug |
| 12835s | of what happened there yeah so fabuki |
| 12837s | waifu and remilin The Vindicator and the |
| 12840s | Redeemer respectively saw that their |
| 12843s | screen had gotten on top of the Novak |
| 12845s | battleships and they said Hey what if we |
| 12847s | just like burn around and try to get in |
| 12849s | your back line and the dragher saw that |
| 12851s | and then tried to intercept but the |
| 12854s | problem is that the drauger is not a |
| 12857s | Confessor it can't hold on to a |
| 12858s | Vindicator especially not a flag |
| 12860s | Vindicator that's going to have those |
| 12861s | officer guns and once that 90 web slows |
| 12865s | you down to a halt and you know dumps |
| 12867s | well over 2 000 damage into you |
| 12870s | and then you have the Redeemer giving |
| 12872s | supporting damage you're gonna die just |
| 12874s | end of story and uh we've seen that |
| 12877s | fraternity has been absolutely |
| 12880s | much better than I think a lot of people |
| 12882s | have been giving them credit for in |
| 12884s | their positioning and their maneuver |
| 12885s | they did it to beside they just did it |
| 12887s | to Novak yeah interesting uh graph just |
| 12889s | being thrown up as far as Redeemer usage |
| 12891s | across uh Seasons |
| 12893s | um there's a bit of a large gigantic Gap |
| 12896s | in the middle here uh the Redeemer kind |
| 12899s | of not good in tournaments for quite a |
| 12901s | long time uh buffed recently now seems |
| 12904s | to be a popular choice uh Blackberry |
| 12905s | we're seeing a lot of redeemers we are |
| 12907s | in so they're kind of interesting |
| 12909s | because the role of the Redeemer has |
| 12911s | kind of Taken what the role of the |
| 12913s | balgorn used to be so uh the balgorn |
| 12916s | back in yolden days was sort of this |
| 12919s | really good Newt ship that also could |
| 12922s | apply some damage and also could apply |
| 12923s | some webs but then it was kind of |
| 12925s | oppressive a couple seasons ago like |
| 12927s | sort of in the like 14 15 16 times where |
| 12929s | every single team had a BAL Gordon and |
| 12932s | then you'd ban the Battleground and |
| 12932s | everyone's like okay we'll just bring a |
| 12933s | flagship palgan so we bumped the points |
| 12935s | up of valgorn to very very high the |
| 12937s | Redeemer is actually not quite as high |
| 12939s | on points and redeemers do a massive |
| 12941s | amount of damage they do I believe one |
| 12943s | team even brought one as a flagship uh |
| 12946s | oh yes a rival uh who will be in our |
| 12948s | next match actually have a flagship |
| 12949s | Redeemer uh one team choosing to do that |
| 12952s | uh just arrival so certainly interesting |
| 12954s | choice we could see it uh so let's talk |
| 12957s | about this match coming up so our next |
| 12959s | match is uh arrival versus wheat from |
| 12961s | Volta let's take a look at the bands |
| 12963s | here |
| 12965s | so Volta Banning out the EOS the caracal |
| 12967s | Navy issue the Osprey Navy issue and the |
| 12969s | Loki arrival going for the executive |
| 12972s | issue that carries the Osprey and the |
| 12974s | augura moderated your thoughts on these |
| 12976s | bands yeah so um Volta has been Banning |
| 12979s | out a lot of these ships that would be |
| 12981s | used in either a heavy assault missile |
| 12984s | Rush In The Shield or in kind of the um |
| 12987s | kite setup sort of |
| 12989s | um not Banning out the command ships |
| 12991s | used there but basically making so the |
| 12993s | support Wing that makes them viable just |
| 12995s | isn't there and then also Banning out to |
| 12997s | the EOS it's a pretty solid |
| 13000s | um Command Ship |
| 13001s | um maybe not quite as powerful as its uh |
| 13005s | railgun uh bonus to brother but a rival |
| 13008s | also choosing to ban out the executor |
| 13011s | Navy issue uh part of kind of the the |
| 13013s | gigad uh core and then banding out the |
| 13016s | other frigate ship that does galante |
| 13020s | damping and then Banning out tech one |
| 13022s | lodgy we're seeing tech one Logie get to |
| 13025s | get you a lot of Youth here because in |
| 13028s | these kind of Octodad comps your logic |
| 13030s | gets killed instantly anyway so you know |
| 13033s | maybe put a little less points into |
| 13035s | logic and a little bit more into damage |
| 13037s | what do you think |
| 13039s | uh I I hate the name Giga dad just |
| 13042s | putting that out there |
| 13044s | um I feel like perhaps we should uh ban |
| 13047s | the word dad for the rest of the |
| 13048s | alliance tournament uh but no I I pretty |
| 13050s | much agree on most of that um the only |
| 13052s | one that I'm a little like I think the |
| 13055s | EOS is an amazing ship I think it is |
| 13057s | actually the best command uh command |
| 13060s | battle cruiser you can possibly |
| 13062s | take in any armor setup because it's so |
| 13064s | insanely versatile especially they've |
| 13066s | kind of been buffed to the point that |
| 13067s | you can actually pump out a mass amount |
| 13069s | of DPS with an EOS uh so Banning that |
| 13071s | out it really does hurt these um |
| 13074s | especially these kind of like weird |
| 13075s | double battleships and these like single |
| 13077s | Battleship EOS ECM setups we've been |
| 13079s | seeing if you get rid of the EOS like |
| 13081s | you can't replace NEOS within astarde |
| 13083s | because they're such different ships |
| 13085s | um so I think that like that's |
| 13086s | definitely like a |
| 13088s | the EOS band is a Volta like kind of top |
| 13090s | two top three band versus some of these |
| 13093s | other bands are a little like okay I get |
| 13095s | why you're doing it but the Volta band |
| 13096s | for the EOS is like that's that's big |
| 13098s | brain like mini wrinkles are here |
| 13101s | arrival or certainly an interesting team |
| 13104s | that have the opportunity to upset Volta |
| 13107s | here I mean let's just look at twitch |
| 13108s | and see what the the sway is so 1.5 |
| 13110s | million Channel points on Volta 263 000 |
| 13113s | on arrival so clearly they've also their |
| 13115s | current favorites you know top three |
| 13116s | last year top two the year before but |
| 13118s | the Rival don't count them out they're a |
| 13120s | top 12 team last year |
| 13122s | um this I mean we've already seen a |
| 13123s | couple of upsets around this kind of uh |
| 13125s | disparity uh today alone uh and arrival |
| 13129s | or one of those teams that have a |
| 13130s | theater Crafters have this skill and the |
| 13132s | execution to pull off an upset like they |
| 13135s | are likely to you know roll the dice and |
| 13137s | maybe go like spec tank for example and |
| 13140s | try and win against something that Volta |
| 13142s | might bring you never know with these |
| 13143s | particular types of teams it's |
| 13145s | especially hard for uh for team to go up |
| 13147s | against a team like a rival and know |
| 13149s | that hey we need to take this team super |
| 13151s | seriously because they can definitely |
| 13153s | definitely put one over on us well it's |
| 13155s | time to find out so let's head over to |
| 13157s | the arena for we form Volta versus |
| 13158s | arrival with our casters starmas and |
| 13160s | Mark Resurrected |
| 13166s | hello everyone and welcome back to Arena |
| 13168s | I am Miss and Whitby is a market |
| 13170s | resurrecterson this is Walter and red |
| 13172s | this is a arrival in blue and these guys |
| 13174s | are known to be allies on TQ so now they |
| 13177s | also get a chance to like get the |
| 13179s | bragging right by defeating uh their |
| 13181s | their good friends so tell me Marky what |
| 13184s | do what did these guys bring yeah so |
| 13186s | volta's got an interesting setup they've |
| 13188s | gone double uh getting hole in the |
| 13191s | Redeemer and get Navy uh with Guardian |
| 13193s | support uh and then a lot of uh a lot of |
| 13196s | e-board we had a sentinel down there and |
| 13198s | you've got a curse of course absolutely |
| 13200s | brutal uh in the crucifier in the in the |
| 13203s | back end and then for the team from |
| 13205s | arrival it's an interesting it's kind of |
| 13206s | a kind of a pseudo Padre sort of look |
| 13209s | with oniro's lodgy uh OG Navy's very |
| 13212s | strong uh oh and I we don't see a ton of |
| 13214s | these but they're also not too bad uh |
| 13216s | and then of course we're seeing a tell |
| 13217s | us instead of an oracle this is an |
| 13219s | interesting choice yeah yeah American is |
| 13221s | not banned so they have this one for a |
| 13223s | reason |
| 13224s | it is interesting yeah so we're sitting |
| 13226s | right out the gate they're going for the |
| 13227s | crucifier uh the arrival team is going |
| 13229s | for that crucifier of Volta uh hoping |
| 13232s | they can snipe that one and at the same |
| 13233s | time the team from volts are going |
| 13234s | immediately in on a track roykem uh in |
| 13238s | that tell us the Talos probably the |
| 13240s | least tanky of all of these uh battle |
| 13243s | Cruisers just based on sheer ehp yeah it |
| 13246s | looks like the arriving team actually |
| 13248s | burning back so they're like arrived to |
| 13249s | the arena and now they're departing from |
| 13251s | the center they're trying to like uh |
| 13253s | just set up a ride moment before they're |
| 13255s | going in they're being defensive uh |
| 13257s | which I'm not sure I'm actually going to |
| 13259s | pay off when they're playing this setup |
| 13260s | but we'll see |
| 13262s | yeah you've got the uh the Andy garnet |
| 13265s | and the Redeemer and Outlaw no Pro in |
| 13267s | the good Navy burning across the middle |
| 13268s | right now you can see tracking |
| 13269s | disruption going back and forth across |
| 13271s | this match trying to keep those and both |
| 13274s | of those are gun uh it's a gun Deemer |
| 13277s | and a gun getting uh gun get and what a |
| 13279s | word uh so they are trying to hold them |
| 13281s | down |
| 13283s | that the beacon so they might be going |
| 13285s | for the micro jumps I play the Volta |
| 13287s | team is having birthday battleships in |
| 13288s | the front so like this massive screen |
| 13290s | that they're going to struggle to get |
| 13292s | through but if they can do their Michael |
| 13293s | drum try to play they'll have a huge |
| 13295s | Juventus |
| 13297s | high-risk gameplay |
| 13299s | they are converging on the micro jump |
| 13301s | Beacon right now they're all just sort |
| 13303s | of positioning themselves looking like |
| 13304s | they're trying to get lined up |
| 13307s | what are they gonna do |
| 13310s | like the next few moments are going to |
| 13311s | see if they're going to pull this off |
| 13312s | are they they're going to like a go in |
| 13315s | the old way looks like they're actually |
| 13316s | burning in with them without the micro |
| 13318s | drum drivers see very soon as they might |
| 13321s | be arriving in the other end of the |
| 13322s | Arena yep they've seen weakness Andy |
| 13324s | gardett in the Redeemer now in half |
| 13326s | armor dropping quickly not being caught |
| 13329s | up on the Reps from the guardian which |
| 13331s | is not too far away there's a lot of |
| 13332s | damage going in on the Redeemer right |
| 13334s | now Andy Gardner it drops down into 10 |
| 13336s | armor is starting to catch just barely |
| 13339s | slips in the hole they lose that DM |
| 13341s | that's a lot of their DPS now in the |
| 13343s | structure Miz they're gonna lose this |
| 13345s | Deemer yeah the paints the train just |
| 13348s | that right that the platform one that's |
| 13350s | the edema is going to get hammered there |
| 13352s | might be catching a little bit of reps |
| 13354s | but these these chips have a lot of DPS |
| 13356s | the battery cruises and navy Cruisers to |
| 13358s | combine there's a lot of damage for |
| 13360s | relatively few points the the demon is |
| 13363s | now catching reps we saw the pseudo dad |
| 13365s | kind of come in give a little bit of |
| 13367s | punishment as fathers sometimes do but |
| 13370s | now the Beamer is is catching wraps is |
| 13372s | is able to rep back up to at least half |
| 13374s | you can see there's a swarm of drones |
| 13376s | around this demur |
| 13378s | from the Redemption and Back Again |
| 13380s | managed to catch Reps for example |
| 13382s | they're going they're going straight for |
| 13383s | plan six he's forced to be burning away |
| 13385s | so he might not be able to rip any up |
| 13387s | again |
| 13388s | yeah uh Planet Six I know this is |
| 13391s | somebody's name I can't remember what it |
| 13392s | is fear Vine is going to wreck me for |
| 13393s | this but Planet Six now trying to get |
| 13395s | away trying to clear off and you can see |
| 13397s | now starting to catch up a little bit |
| 13399s | starting to get to work back up they |
| 13401s | need to keep that Guardian alive because |
| 13402s | this is just so much DPS coming in from |
| 13405s | this team from arrival there's so much |
| 13406s | battle Cruz if you pass out here right |
| 13407s | now yeah pan six is uh flown by Rilo so |
| 13410s | it's known for the sea kill guys and |
| 13412s | right now it looks like the vulture team |
| 13413s | produces a CK guide to applying damage |
| 13416s | us they're not really putting much |
| 13417s | pressure on the arrival team |
| 13419s | no they are not in fact you can see even |
| 13422s | now the Redeemer back up into high armor |
| 13425s | still taking in a little bit of DPS |
| 13427s | they're all kind of split up here right |
| 13429s | now everybody's off in their own in |
| 13431s | their own little section she's using the |
| 13432s | Talos from track where I came off kind |
| 13434s | of on his own the arbitrator uh and the |
| 13436s | curse the oneros all kind of up at the |
| 13438s | top doing their own thing not getting |
| 13439s | too much pressure right now uh from this |
| 13442s | team from Volta yeah it looks like |
| 13444s | howling wind in their owners is like a |
| 13446s | good distance away from the problem but |
| 13447s | to tick tock in the cursors come up to |
| 13450s | drain his capacitor down so it's going |
| 13452s | to be harder for him to keep merka far |
| 13454s | far alive in that having a Navy issue |
| 13456s | but they might be able to take that |
| 13458s | Redeemer down again instead going for a |
| 13460s | second push forcing 106 to cut in they |
| 13463s | absolutely are going to be pushing the |
| 13464s | Deemer back down into mid to low armor |
| 13467s | if they trade this for the Harvey Navy |
| 13469s | that's not a great trade there's still a |
| 13471s | lot of DPS on this team from arrival |
| 13473s | yeah that Redeemer saying like a massive |
| 13475s | chunks of armor damage like that both |
| 13476s | actually taking a amount of damage but |
| 13478s | might they should be going down the |
| 13479s | first than this this might be enough for |
| 13481s | them to tank the Redeemer America is |
| 13483s | taking a structure damage this is not |
| 13485s | good for for the arrival team yeah the |
| 13487s | guardian is trying desperately to push |
| 13488s | back up trying to keep the Redeemer up |
| 13490s | their demon now is slipping slow so low |
| 13493s | the defense |
| 13496s | [Music] |
| 13497s | extra tank to happen here now |
| 13500s | oh my goodness Chad has reminded me |
| 13503s | thank you Planet Six is reload could not |
| 13506s | catch the demon before it goes down we |
| 13507s | will see the Harvey Navy drop but again |
| 13509s | there's just there's so much the sway in |
| 13511s | DPS right now is so much in favor of the |
| 13513s | scene from arrival you've still got the |
| 13514s | tele still got the Harvey still got the |
| 13516s | brutics and the OG Navy and The Omen |
| 13518s | Navy they're doing they've just got so |
| 13520s | much they can do here uh it's |
| 13522s | interesting to see where they're going |
| 13523s | to put their attention next it looks |
| 13524s | maybe like on the Sipple yeah yeah this |
| 13527s | is an awful trade for the Walter team |
| 13529s | like they they lost one of the lens pin |
| 13532s | ships in the meantime the uh octo that |
| 13535s | uh up to that comp deck you you have so |
| 13539s | many different DPS chips so even if you |
| 13540s | lose one you still have like a good |
| 13542s | amount of damage on your comp and this |
| 13544s | is like one of the strength for this |
| 13545s | comp |
| 13546s | yeah we can see Outlaw no Pro in the get |
| 13548s | Navy now also caught this the harbing |
| 13551s | the harbinger of Jesse Swale sitting |
| 13554s | right on top of him pumping them full of |
| 13555s | laser damage you can see their drones |
| 13557s | all over the place trying desperately to |
| 13559s | keep them up now because they they it's |
| 13561s | just it's so much DPS there this is such |
| 13564s | a hard thing for them to hold on to and |
| 13566s | you can see all of them are starting to |
| 13567s | now close down on top of the sched Navy |
| 13569s | neglecting everything else just trying |
| 13571s | to get the getting down |
| 13574s | like smelling blood they want to take |
| 13576s | out that second Battleship and if they |
| 13578s | do take that out it's a pretty much GG |
| 13580s | and uh it's still like in the half a |
| 13583s | little bit of a half oh my the catching |
| 13585s | wraps nicely but uh |
| 13587s | the question is like how long can I last |
| 13590s | well and the thing too is if this get |
| 13592s | any videos down they've got no more DPS |
| 13594s | they've got the snipple they've got the |
| 13595s | Confessor which is fine that's lovely uh |
| 13598s | but it's not enough to do I mean not |
| 13600s | neither one of those will punched that |
| 13601s | or near us and unless they can make some |
| 13603s | kind of play here to save the get Navy |
| 13604s | this is going to be the end I say this |
| 13606s | that Harbinger from Jessie Swale is |
| 13608s | going down pretty quick yeah let's still |
| 13611s | Tick Tock over the curse like sucking |
| 13613s | off that day or nearest nicely like team |
| 13615s | that can't drive and I'm not sure why |
| 13617s | the arrival team is not like doing |
| 13619s | anything with that curse it's a squishy |
| 13620s | ship that can burn him down if they can |
| 13623s | get to get past them and see if he has |
| 13627s | reminded Us in chat by the way that the |
| 13629s | B is silent so the herringer did go down |
| 13632s | uh that is a quite a bit more DPS off |
| 13634s | the grid now and this kid maybe my tank |
| 13637s | now with the guardian reps on them yeah |
| 13639s | it looks like the arrival team did |
| 13641s | listen to my instructions then go for |
| 13642s | that curse like having that Christmas |
| 13644s | like finish off The Tick Tock like you |
| 13647s | can't fit out of this it's known to be a |
| 13648s | really good uh small gang pilot but the |
| 13651s | just the amount of damage on these small |
| 13653s | cruises is not much that can save him if |
| 13655s | they can pick off a couple more of these |
| 13656s | battle cruises they can pick off the |
| 13658s | brutix Navy here then trading for the |
| 13659s | curse might not be such a big deal the |
| 13661s | curse is good now because they it it's |
| 13663s | damping or not damping sorry disrupting |
| 13666s | so much of this incoming uh turret |
| 13668s | damage from the brutax Navy from the |
| 13670s | Talos uh if they can get it down before |
| 13672s | the curse goes down I don't think |
| 13674s | they're going to be able to do that but |
| 13675s | that would be a pretty decent trade in |
| 13677s | my humble opinion |
| 13681s | like yeah |
| 13683s | the water team has like split a little |
| 13684s | bit DPS on the omen ABC on the brutix |
| 13686s | Navy issue and I believe it's like |
| 13687s | because they're trying to screen them |
| 13689s | off and they're shooting whatever I say |
| 13690s | within range |
| 13693s | yes and since the B is silent I want |
| 13695s | everybody remember this is a rudix Navy |
| 13697s | issue rudix Navy now dipping into low |
| 13699s | armor trying to be cut they're doing |
| 13702s | their best to keep it upright on their |
| 13703s | saying an absolute swarm a a a sunny |
| 13707s | Georgia day in my in in you know my |
| 13710s | experience of flies of of drones around |
| 13712s | this brutic snave sorry my mistake this |
| 13715s | Rubix Navy trying desperately to keep it |
| 13717s | up and it is holding |
| 13720s | yeah without the curse on this |
| 13723s | apply these reps without too much |
| 13725s | harassment that's still essential that |
| 13727s | can do a little bit of a new thing but |
| 13728s | at this point okay he should be having |
| 13731s | enough cap to actually uh recover this |
| 13733s | uh I'm on these ships |
| 13736s | maybe the issue of a fancy Apes yeah the |
| 13740s | turnaround now going back on reload |
| 13742s | Planet Six in the guardian pushed into |
| 13744s | half armor now dropping below half armor |
| 13747s | if they lose if they lose the guardian |
| 13749s | they're gonna be in rough shape at the |
| 13751s | same time the rudix Navy issue now is |
| 13752s | dropping into I it's just barely tanking |
| 13755s | it's barely holding on here yeah we |
| 13758s | haven't all current Navy should ride on |
| 13759s | top of that Guardian so he cannot Escape |
| 13761s | anymore okay as no repair drone should |
| 13764s | actually repair him and say it's just a |
| 13766s | matter of time before a ryload goes down |
| 13769s | in the guardian and this will be the sea |
| 13772s | kill guy to |
| 13774s | loose Eco guide going out in the at |
| 13776s | absolutely |
| 13778s | you see the OG neighbor sitting right on |
| 13779s | top of them absolutely pumping and silly |
| 13781s | holding them tight right there and he |
| 13783s | will drop that leaves no more lodgy |
| 13786s | except for uh drones rather on the team |
| 13789s | from Volta |
| 13791s | Avatar Guardian down there's nothing to |
| 13793s | keep that stripper alive and he's just |
| 13795s | getting wrecked like this Avatar apart |
| 13799s | yeah this is this is turning very very |
| 13801s | quick and I wouldn't say quickly this |
| 13803s | has been the Adriana where actually 30 |
| 13805s | seconds this is drawn by so fast 30 |
| 13807s | seconds remaining in the match I'm gonna |
| 13810s | call it here arrivals pulling off the |
| 13812s | win over their parent team the they are |
| 13816s | they're the Volta B team no longer they |
| 13818s | have provi they have given a a a |
| 13820s | stupendous win here pulling off an |
| 13823s | absolute display of how to perform with |
| 13827s | this kind of setup |
| 13830s | and with that uh we're sending it back |
| 13832s | to the guys in studio |
| 13849s | [Music] |
| 13853s | [Applause] |
| 13859s | [Music] |
| 13873s | ass |
| 13884s | there's nothing back there for you |
| 13886s | and I see full control |
| 13889s | help |
| 13892s | where are you |
| 13895s | doing angry dude they weren't angry |
| 13897s | before kill him |
| 13899s | it's on the clock |
| 13901s | owned by Reds not like this kill the |
| 13904s | rats |
| 13910s | I was yellow to these it's dead |
| 13915s | they were white a second ago and then he |
| 13917s | just got all angry dude |
| 13922s | arrival with the upside victory over we |
| 13924s | form Volta in a very tough and |
| 13927s | well-fought match from both teams that |
| 13929s | went both ways for quite some time uh |
| 13931s | you'd love to see those evil battles |
| 13933s | where you can tell there's so much going |
| 13935s | on both both TeamSpeak servers both |
| 13937s | discords whatever just everyone talking |
| 13939s | at the same time trying to figure out |
| 13941s | what the heck is happening uh we saw |
| 13943s | some excellent piloting reload AKA |
| 13945s | Planet uh six in that Guardian uh he got |
| 13948s | caught slightly out of position |
| 13950s | um and the arrival team recognized that |
| 13952s | they slapped those damps on him reducing |
| 13954s | his lock range and then they switched |
| 13956s | hard onto any garden and the Redeemer |
| 13957s | forcing reload to come flying in to save |
| 13960s | that Redeemer which he did caught him in |
| 13962s | very low structure and that was a big |
| 13964s | big moment for the team of course uh |
| 13966s | continue to trade back and forward but |
| 13968s | break that down for me uh so you started |
| 13972s | breaking it down very very well um what |
| 13974s | then happened after that is they |
| 13975s | actually pushed reload off |
| 13977s | and then damped him again and then |
| 13979s | switched back to Andy Garnett and they |
| 13981s | were kind of there's this uh there's |
| 13982s | sort of two two major fights going on |
| 13984s | here is there's this uh the damage Zerg |
| 13986s | on the Redeemer with this damp war going |
| 13989s | on against uh ryloid and then up in the |
| 13992s | corner which you could kind of see if |
| 13993s | you were like looking up into the part |
| 13995s | on the map we actually had uh |
| 13997s | howlinguin's owneros was just getting |
| 13999s | completely nuked out by the curse of |
| 14002s | tick tock and it was actually just |
| 14003s | really cool seeing multiple different |
| 14005s | things being done at the same time here |
| 14007s | uh going around making it all work |
| 14010s | um very very good play on both teams |
| 14011s | apart there was like a lot of snap |
| 14013s | decision making that has been not done |
| 14016s | on some of these other teams that loses |
| 14017s | like we'll talk about okay they focused |
| 14019s | way too hard on this one target never |
| 14020s | broke it uh this was kind of the |
| 14022s | opposite arrival would switch for a |
| 14024s | second to force people out of position |
| 14027s | and then switch back I also did love |
| 14029s | seeing italos actually win uh you almost |
| 14031s | never see that ship they do a mass |
| 14034s | amount of DPS I mean people know that |
| 14035s | they're used as gank ships sometimes I |
| 14037s | don't really know why it was left alive |
| 14038s | for so long but his positioning was |
| 14040s | insane so you know there is that |
| 14042s | excellent pal thing all right let's take |
| 14044s | a look at how damp mechanics actually |
| 14046s | work in Eve online since they were so |
| 14048s | important there so since dampening uh is |
| 14050s | basically the ability to restrict uh |
| 14052s | ship's ability to lock targets he |
| 14054s | reduced the maximum lock range of a |
| 14056s | particular Target so you hit it with a |
| 14058s | damp and all of a sudden the the |
| 14060s | distance it can actually lock out to can |
| 14062s | be reduced you can also do things like |
| 14064s | make it lock things slower sometimes you |
| 14065s | hit with that combo you break someone's |
| 14067s | lock when they have to move closer to |
| 14069s | v-lock it takes them even longer and |
| 14071s | that's time that they're not being |
| 14072s | wrapped by for example if you do it to a |
| 14074s | guardian uh you force them to come back |
| 14076s | in you force them to re-lock the Target |
| 14077s | that can be pretty uh unpog |
| 14081s | um for for the people involved in that |
| 14083s | particular uh exchange so a super |
| 14085s | powerful thing we had sort of celestis |
| 14087s | on the arrival side of course that's a |
| 14090s | ship with bonuses to sensor damps this |
| 14093s | year um e-war has to be on hulls with |
| 14095s | bonuses to it so you can't just slap a |
| 14097s | bunch of sensor damps in the midst of |
| 14099s | any any ship you want has to be on those |
| 14101s | specific hulls which is why we're seeing |
| 14102s | a lot of targeted bands things like |
| 14104s | curses |
| 14105s | um pilgrims sometimes as well |
| 14107s | arbitrators things like that so uh mods |
| 14110s | what do you think about uh with that |
| 14111s | match as well yeah I felt like |
| 14114s | um the difficulty that ryloid was in is |
| 14117s | trying to burn around and get to his uh |
| 14120s | Tick-Tock tizik buddy in the curse |
| 14123s | um was literally on the far opposite |
| 14125s | side of him so he was well over 100 |
| 14127s | kilometers and he tried to get there I |
| 14130s | saw him burning as fast as he could but |
| 14132s | the Dam's just very very powerful like |
| 14135s | you were saying you know jams or then |
| 14136s | scan res damp and targeting range damp |
| 14139s | it's really like the jab you know left |
| 14141s | hook combination knockout punch that |
| 14143s | really ended up winning at it for a |
| 14145s | rival we're also seeing kind of a lot of |
| 14148s | these what we considered you know |
| 14150s | mid-tier teams improving their skill and |
| 14153s | making more utility out of a lot of |
| 14155s | these e-war setups and really leveling |
| 14157s | the playing field you know we've seen |
| 14158s | Volta go down we've seen you know Hider |
| 14161s | go down we've seen Darkseid go down so |
| 14163s | teams getting better and uh the veterans |
| 14166s | having to recognize it yeah I'm looking |
| 14168s | forward to see if we get like a whole |
| 14169s | new top four potentially this year a lot |
| 14171s | of the big names in the top four for |
| 14173s | many many years are quite familiar to |
| 14176s | the term veterans so it would be very |
| 14178s | exciting actually to see a new team take |
| 14180s | the crown and maybe the second third |
| 14181s | place as well uh looking forward to that |
| 14184s | before we look at our next match I just |
| 14185s | want to throw up a photo of some of the |
| 14187s | people working here behind the scenes a |
| 14189s | live stream 19 at the event D studios in |
| 14191s | Nottingham so this was taken during the |
| 14193s | break uh this is just some of the the |
| 14195s | behind the scenes crew that make this |
| 14197s | broadcast possible so we have people uh |
| 14199s | operating things like the graphics the |
| 14201s | the cameras the division mixers the |
| 14203s | audio all sorts of stuff there's there's |
| 14205s | more people and we'll see more of them |
| 14206s | later but just a cute pick from uh from |
| 14209s | the break there wanted to just throw up |
| 14211s | and let you guys see some of the special |
| 14212s | people behind the scenes all right |
| 14215s | speaking of special people we are going |
| 14216s | to see hidden Leaf Village Ninja |
| 14217s | Assassin Squad Esports team go up |
| 14220s | against Platinum sensitivity so let's |
| 14221s | take a look at the Bands |
| 14225s | all right so head and leaf Village ninja |
| 14227s | whatever Banning out the auger Navy |
| 14229s | issue the executive Blackbird and the |
| 14231s | Widow question mark Platinum sensitivity |
| 14233s | Banning out the executive issue the |
| 14235s | augural Navy issue the curse and the bar |
| 14238s | guest with the trickle bands hidden Leaf |
| 14240s | going for the Scimitar and the root Diva |
| 14242s | and platinum sensitivity going for the |
| 14244s | universe and the guardian so pretty much |
| 14246s | every single uh used uh Tech 2 Logistics |
| 14250s | Cruiser and the Redeemer banned out uh |
| 14253s | Blackberry pirate what do you think of |
| 14254s | these bands here |
| 14255s | yeah there's a there's a possibility |
| 14257s | that a basilisk will be flown and it |
| 14259s | could actually for the first time in a |
| 14261s | lance tournament history the Basilisk |
| 14263s | could fly the Basilisk so I hope that |
| 14265s | happens because I've wanted to make that |
| 14267s | comment for years and it's never |
| 14268s | happened here uh the battle is being on |
| 14270s | hidden Leaf uh they also banned a widow |
| 14273s | though and that's super weird I think |
| 14275s | the only team we've seen bring a widow |
| 14276s | so far was Wheat Farm Volta who did win |
| 14278s | with it uh but widows are one of the |
| 14282s | um in recent times one of the most |
| 14283s | losingest ships uh just because they're |
| 14286s | super weird and |
| 14288s | um they seem really good on paper |
| 14289s | because oh it jams and does damage and |
| 14291s | can tank but the reality of it is is |
| 14293s | people usually just rush them and blow |
| 14294s | them up uh especially without Tech 2 |
| 14297s | logy I I kind of get it uh radiva band |
| 14300s | that makes sense I think they're really |
| 14301s | trying to get rid of all of the major uh |
| 14304s | the major sort of rep boats and it's |
| 14307s | it's interesting because Platinum Band |
| 14308s | owner's Guardian hidden Leaf bands or |
| 14311s | Diva obviously they didn't know this was |
| 14313s | gonna happen because blind bands happen |
| 14314s | at the same time so they just completely |
| 14316s | wiped out all of the army or armor Logie |
| 14319s | besides logic frigates which you hate I |
| 14322s | don't hate them I kind of like them I |
| 14324s | still like tech one lucky friend because |
| 14325s | I find them completely useless |
| 14327s | um what's kind of interesting more does |
| 14329s | these bands occupant as the trickle |
| 14331s | bands so these weren't the top four |
| 14332s | bands for either team they got to the |
| 14334s | trickle band stage and went ah Guardians |
| 14337s | and Scimitar with Diva like what what |
| 14339s | happens there with that thinking |
| 14341s | yeah so the thought process is there |
| 14343s | basically being well okay we've seen |
| 14345s | that the auger and executive Navy issue |
| 14348s | have been banned out there's going to be |
| 14349s | kind of the support core of any sort of |
| 14352s | Max threat composition but now we're |
| 14354s | saying really if you want to bring armor |
| 14357s | your options are either committing |
| 14359s | probably too heavily to this arm which |
| 14362s | is 18 points or you have to bring the |
| 14364s | Thalia Deacon combination thereof uh but |
| 14367s | I mean that is just a lot of bands very |
| 14370s | very targeted at Max threat but also |
| 14373s | like you were saying the Widow |
| 14375s | traditionally only a couple of teams in |
| 14377s | kind of very targeted ECM comps have |
| 14380s | ever been able to make it work so |
| 14382s | definitely layers upon layers of pretty |
| 14385s | solid Theory crafting going into those |
| 14387s | bands |
| 14388s | yeah definitely I'm just having a quick |
| 14389s | look at the the brackets just now for |
| 14392s | um the the winners bracket so the team's |
| 14394s | in the winners brackets |
| 14395s | um are barcode requires the tusker is |
| 14398s | called White Flag Odin's called |
| 14399s | fraternity arrival and one of these two |
| 14402s | teams uh so it's certainly a lot of |
| 14405s | newer teams making it into the top at |
| 14407s | least of course the grand finals will be |
| 14408s | between the winner of the winners |
| 14410s | bracket and the winner of the losers |
| 14411s | bracket so all those teams that we saw |
| 14412s | get knocked down truth on the light |
| 14414s | Volta Dark Side they're all still very |
| 14416s | much in the hunt there's going to be |
| 14417s | more matches more skin potential so I |
| 14419s | see uh the ninja team bringing their |
| 14422s | Flagship Armageddon Navy issue so let's |
| 14424s | head over to the arena with your casters |
| 14426s | Alec and Chad |
| 14434s | welcome to the arena we're here to watch |
| 14436s | the match between a hidden Leaf Village |
| 14438s | Ninja Assassin Squad Esports team versus |
| 14440s | platinum sensitivity uh Alex would you |
| 14442s | like to go through the Platinum |
| 14443s | sensitivity team |
| 14444s | absolutely Platinum has bought a version |
| 14447s | of a fly killer comp with double |
| 14449s | suffering double Fleet hurricane Osprey |
| 14451s | celestis hyena jackdaw crucifier mollus |
| 14453s | a lot of artillery in the highs and |
| 14455s | control in the lows what about Jutsu |
| 14458s | we are looking at a kingslayer armor |
| 14462s | setup led by a flag getting Navy issue |
| 14465s | with double bombers in the low end to |
| 14468s | see how they do in this match as we're |
| 14469s | counting down for the start of this |
| 14471s | match |
| 14472s | for those |
| 14473s | botched right now I guarantee it |
| 14477s | they did a lot and here we go we see the |
| 14480s | Platinum sensitivity team kiting away |
| 14483s | and oh actually they're going for the |
| 14485s | hyena oh the Basilisk goodbye |
| 14487s | that was an absolute chunk as you'd |
| 14489s | expect though from one of these fly |
| 14490s | killer setups I'm sure they're probably |
| 14492s | gonna go for another small ship next |
| 14494s | because that is what these do well the |
| 14495s | best being already set up |
| 14498s | it's probably the shortest duration of |
| 14500s | the Basilisk has ever flown in an |
| 14502s | alliance tournament he was down in the |
| 14503s | first few seconds here meanwhile the |
| 14506s | Osprey of platinum sensitivity a bit |
| 14508s | under threat starting to get nuded out |
| 14509s | it's painted it's taking a lot of Shield |
| 14512s | damage it doesn't really have a lot of |
| 14514s | support for itself no Shield drones |
| 14515s | popping out for it so he is probably not |
| 14518s | long for this world the local tank of |
| 14520s | the Osprey not well known here meanwhile |
| 14522s | the purifiers are starting to take some |
| 14524s | damage we've got about a half armor |
| 14527s | there on Oscar Rossi the Osprey will |
| 14529s | fall first as the purifiers are |
| 14531s | surprisingly catching some reps here |
| 14534s | yeah and you know it's both teams are |
| 14535s | doing what their comps do best flight |
| 14537s | Killer killing the small things on grid |
| 14538s | and kingslayer killing out that T1 |
| 14540s | Cruiser Logie it's interesting to see |
| 14543s | what the next moves are here Platinum |
| 14544s | sensitivity though being Shield they |
| 14546s | still actually have a control bar which |
| 14548s | is a little shocking with that Mollison |
| 14550s | crucifier as well celestis |
| 14552s | yeah they're putting out a lot of dams |
| 14553s | right now the mall is doing work damping |
| 14555s | at the fleet typhoon in the get in it |
| 14558s | just doesn't seem to be enough though is |
| 14559s | they're still applying damage the |
| 14560s | hurricane Fleet issue of I'm not even |
| 14563s | going to attempt to pronounce it Kent is |
| 14565s | about at half armor here that is not the |
| 14567s | bar he wants to be going down they're |
| 14569s | trying to kill the Thalia in return but |
| 14570s | the Thalia is catching reps surprisingly |
| 14573s | this fly killer set is having difficulty |
| 14575s | actually applying their damage after |
| 14576s | that snap kill on the hyena of Jutsu |
| 14580s | yeah you'd expect how quick that hyena |
| 14582s | went down that maybe the rest of the |
| 14584s | team might also go down as fast it might |
| 14586s | just be that initial value as you try to |
| 14587s | gain speed in the beginning of the match |
| 14589s | as hen Leaf seems to have gained enough |
| 14591s | transversal to keep themselves alive |
| 14592s | against these artillery uh Alpha shots |
| 14596s | yeah the hidden Leaf doing some |
| 14598s | excellent piling here making sure |
| 14599s | they're transversal stays pretty high |
| 14601s | against the kiting force of platinum |
| 14603s | sensitivity Platinum meanwhile doing |
| 14605s | pretty good pilot into their own here is |
| 14607s | that hurricane Fleet issue is living to |
| 14609s | win he is in very deep structure but |
| 14612s | you'll notice the damage application on |
| 14613s | him is mostly stopped for the past |
| 14615s | couple seconds here maybe 30 45 seconds |
| 14618s | he's gone down only slightly meanwhile |
| 14621s | the purifier of Oscar Rossi continues to |
| 14624s | receive negative attention from Platinum |
| 14626s | sensitivity now dipping into lower armor |
| 14629s | than he's ever been it remains to be |
| 14631s | seen if they can put him away here but |
| 14632s | even if they do I don't think it's going |
| 14634s | to buy this hurricane fledges you much |
| 14636s | time he's still in structure and |
| 14638s | dropping he's dropping more rapidly now |
| 14641s | I think he's run out of room to run away |
| 14643s | he's very close to the edge of the Arena |
| 14645s | the clips have reloaded on those uh |
| 14648s | rapid heavy battleships and it looks |
| 14649s | like they're going to take out this |
| 14650s | hurricane Fleet they do trade one of |
| 14652s | their bombers for it but bomber is only |
| 14653s | being worth Four Points you've traded |
| 14655s | away your entire your Osprey and your |
| 14657s | hurricane Fleet for a hyena and a bomber |
| 14659s | not a trade you'd be wanting to make |
| 14661s | when you're running these uh flight |
| 14662s | killer setups no not a great chain the |
| 14665s | hurricane dies it did pop links before |
| 14667s | it went down so it's trying to support |
| 14669s | its team from Beyond the Grave here |
| 14671s | but uh just the hidden Leaf they're |
| 14675s | doing what they need to do here against |
| 14676s | this fly killer setup they're keeping |
| 14678s | their low end alive far longer than they |
| 14680s | have any right to the fly killer is |
| 14683s | dependent on just popping through these |
| 14685s | lower hit point ships with their Alpha |
| 14687s | and high tracking the sleffner is not |
| 14690s | tracking as well as they need to here |
| 14692s | even the Magus which is one of the |
| 14693s | easier to kill low end ships on this |
| 14696s | Jutsu team it is tanking the the pilots |
| 14699s | of the Hidden Leaf are dancing around |
| 14702s | these artillery shells |
| 14704s | yeah it looks like Platinum |
| 14705s | sensitivities you know they they have |
| 14706s | Targets in mind that they want to shoot |
| 14708s | and they're shooting |
| 14710s | um into those targets not applying |
| 14712s | enough to take them down which is what |
| 14714s | their cap is supposed to be doing here |
| 14716s | and now that that is not happening it |
| 14718s | seems like they're starting to fall |
| 14719s | apart slowly it's not over yet though it |
| 14722s | just takes one or two great values to |
| 14724s | actually change the title of this match |
| 14726s | but with that said the hurricane Fleet |
| 14728s | and low Shield |
| 14729s | yeah meanwhile it looks like Platinum |
| 14731s | sensitivity is pivoting now from killing |
| 14733s | the low end ships to going for the high |
| 14735s | end they're trying to take out the |
| 14736s | typhoon Fleet issue here before they |
| 14738s | lose too much of their damage this |
| 14740s | hurricane flight issued not lasting |
| 14742s | nearly as long as his partner goes down |
| 14744s | in Rapid fashion the typhoon Fleet issue |
| 14747s | meanwhile is not able to dodge any of |
| 14749s | these artillery shots it is going down |
| 14752s | more rapidly than you'd expect but still |
| 14755s | the artillery ships they're high damage |
| 14757s | decent DPS but not nearly as scary as |
| 14760s | the autocannon rush that you might see |
| 14762s | from a normal sleffner fit uh the |
| 14765s | typhoon does appear to be stabilizing |
| 14767s | now |
| 14768s | it looks to be stabilizing as the slept |
| 14771s | nears are still slightly tanking but |
| 14772s | they only have a little bit of time to |
| 14774s | buy themselves tank but those xlasb |
| 14776s | Chargers you only get nine charges in |
| 14778s | one of those and the Sumner having a |
| 14780s | shield rep on us they need to buy |
| 14781s | themselves enough time to maybe kill |
| 14783s | this typhoon but it does not seem like |
| 14784s | they're actually breaking anything on |
| 14786s | grid still |
| 14787s | No in fact I'm looking at the tank bar |
| 14789s | for platinum Sensitivity I don't believe |
| 14791s | these even have XL asbs fit to them I |
| 14794s | think these are purely passive slaps |
| 14800s | instead of the active rep bonus not |
| 14802s | relying on the ASB reloads here |
| 14805s | but uh yeah coming in slightly under the |
| 14808s | overall effective hit points you would |
| 14810s | expect that ship to have now they're |
| 14811s | trying for the Deacon of neoligath his |
| 14814s | all of his Shields got Stripped Away in |
| 14816s | one shot but then the damages |
| 14818s | immediately stopped his Thalia partner |
| 14820s | is able to keep him up no problem |
| 14821s | against the DPS of the remaining |
| 14823s | sleffner team |
| 14824s | and going down those two hurricanes |
| 14826s | early it does not look they actually |
| 14828s | have the alpha to break these frigates |
| 14830s | anymore the hyena attempting to get |
| 14832s | paints and webs on things but it did |
| 14833s | feel like it was heavily restricted due |
| 14835s | to those newts on that uh gettin |
| 14838s | yeah the Ninja's again pretty much made |
| 14840s | the hyena a non-issue and that was a key |
| 14842s | factor in the inability of these |
| 14844s | artillery ships to land their shots on |
| 14846s | target now you see the shield tank of |
| 14848s | the Platinum sensitivity Slaughter |
| 14849s | finally broken he's now in deep deep |
| 14852s | structure and there he goes it looks |
| 14853s | like his hyena may follow shortly |
| 14855s | thereafter and at this point there is |
| 14857s | not much platinum sensitivity could do |
| 14859s | about it they lack the DPS to break even |
| 14862s | one of the logistics frigates on the |
| 14864s | hiddenly village ninja assassination |
| 14866s | Squad esport side which means that is |
| 14869s | probably it for them unless they can |
| 14871s | catch one of these frigates or |
| 14872s | destroyers out of position away from the |
| 14874s | logistics but even then that Logistics |
| 14876s | can likely reposition before they'll be |
| 14878s | able to put that kill away |
| 14880s | also like we see now these do not have |
| 14882s | xlasbs they don't have any time to buy |
| 14885s | for themselves once you're out of Shield |
| 14886s | you're going down as we already see with |
| 14887s | Mark Bridges near already in |
| 14889s | structure not long for this world |
| 14892s | goodbye Mark Bridges and that's the last |
| 14894s | DPS for platinum sensitivity the jackdaw |
| 14897s | of LT Bazaar uh pretty fearsome ship |
| 14900s | isn't it some right if it's configured |
| 14902s | for damage but it's not going to be able |
| 14904s | to one man this entire legitsu comp over |
| 14907s | here there's just too much speed |
| 14909s | happening |
| 14911s | the |
| 14912s | Plato sensitivities are trying to spread |
| 14914s | out now they're they're flying around |
| 14915s | trying to buy themselves time but time |
| 14917s | for what uh Chad do you think they have |
| 14920s | any chance back into this match |
| 14922s | there is not any chance for them to come |
| 14925s | back into this match at this point |
| 14926s | you're sitting here maybe trying to grab |
| 14928s | a little bit of the loop but there's not |
| 14930s | much loot for platinum to grab other |
| 14931s | than their own at this point and maybe |
| 14933s | they're just sitting here trying to go |
| 14934s | for boundary records buy some time for |
| 14937s | themselves on the screen for all of us |
| 14938s | to watch |
| 14940s | yep uh meanwhile hidden Leaf has engaged |
| 14943s | mop up Jutsu and they're clearing the |
| 14945s | field and that's the goodbye to the |
| 14947s | hyena and goodbye for this match we send |
| 14949s | it back to the desk for analysis |
| 14958s | right |

| 15042s | Village Ninja Assassin Squad Esports |
| 15046s | team they're taking the victory over |
| 15048s | Platinum sensitivity in an exciting |
| 15050s | match uh Blackberry pirate break it down |
| 15052s | for me what went on there so Platinum |
| 15054s | sensitivity brought the the fly killer |
| 15056s | setup which we've seen be run a couple |
| 15058s | times so far this tournament uh |
| 15060s | generally it goes bottom up blows up all |
| 15062s | your small ships we saw the Basilisk get |
| 15064s | Alfred |
| 15065s | in the first 10 seconds of the match |
| 15067s | which I believe makes this total play |
| 15068s | time for this tournament about 30 |
| 15070s | seconds but hey you know what they're |
| 15072s | still in they're still in the winners |
| 15073s | bracket I believe they're now top 12 so |
| 15075s | they'll get 80 ships |
| 15076s | um Platinum sensitivity they started it |
| 15078s | started strong they blew up the ship |
| 15080s | immediately awesome and then they |
| 15082s | couldn't really kill anything else and a |
| 15084s | hidden Leaf team was really good about |
| 15086s | ramming their sort of triple rapid heavy |
| 15089s | missile launcher battleships and and |
| 15091s | just destroyed that Osprey and there's |
| 15093s | nothing like the Osprey uh piloted |
| 15095s | really well it like ran away just |
| 15097s | couldn't run away farther than the |
| 15098s | missiles and the what were probably |
| 15101s | officer newts on that hidden Leaf |
| 15103s | Flagship and once that was down I mean |
| 15105s | that's it they're just going to slowly |
| 15106s | wear you down and take you out |
| 15108s | yeah and uh CC Swift you join us here on |
| 15111s | the desk as well uh what do you think |
| 15114s | about that the the Osprey in this |
| 15116s | instance do you think it's a good choice |
| 15117s | uh I know like the Scimitar was banned |
| 15119s | is it what you would go for they didn't |
| 15121s | have many options there right so uh you |
| 15123s | pretty much have to go with the Osprey |
| 15125s | if that's the comp that you want to |
| 15126s | bring uh Osprey is a little bit smaller |
| 15129s | but as Bart mentioned was able to still |
| 15131s | pilot and maneuver exactly just as well |
| 15133s | as uh it could have been if it were any |
| 15136s | type of other logistic ship so I think |
| 15138s | it was a good decision overall obviously |
| 15140s | Platinum sensitivity are an incredibly |
| 15142s | strong team very well practiced kind of |
| 15144s | like the the Cinderella story last year |
| 15146s | as well |
| 15147s | um really |
| 15149s | probably just did a little bit of rock |
| 15151s | paper scissors and kind of guessed it |
| 15153s | wrong a little bit uh in terms of the |
| 15155s | comp but uh still incredibly strong and |
| 15157s | really excited to see what we'll uh see |
| 15160s | from them in the elimination bracket uh |
| 15162s | Bart what do you think about the the |
| 15164s | this Flagship Armageddon Navy issue |
| 15166s | we've seen a few Phil Newt ones uh this |
| 15169s | time uh look like maybe a bit of a |
| 15171s | different one well we'll see less full |
| 15172s | new ones because so far all the full |
| 15173s | loot ones have been explodified and are |
| 15175s | now in the Trashy board they belong uh |
| 15178s | this one we were saw |
| 15180s | um not only did we see one that was |
| 15181s | using rapid Heavies but it was in a king |
| 15183s | killer setup with the triple rapid heavy |
| 15185s | so uh they definitely used its long |
| 15188s | range notes really really well they used |
| 15191s | the massive damage potential that having |
| 15193s | a better weapon systems on it you know |
| 15195s | called actually having weapon systems on |
| 15197s | it was able to do and they did a really |
| 15198s | good job with it so so far today we're |
| 15201s | at zero for full nude armaged Navy |
| 15203s | issues and we're at one for rabbit heavy |
| 15206s | Armageddon Navy issues we're seeing I |
| 15208s | feel like CC Swift we've seen quite a |
| 15209s | lot of uh flagships being deployed uh |
| 15213s | today uh perhaps more than we usually |
| 15215s | see at this stage in the tournament lots |
| 15216s | of them dying which is a super exciting |
| 15219s | but I mean today what we've seen like 8 |
| 15221s | 9 10 flagships be fielded yeah and quite |
| 15224s | a few matches with Flagship against |
| 15225s | Flagship action which is always always |
| 15228s | the hottest kind of action |
| 15230s | um but yeah it is this is that crucial |
| 15232s | moment in the alliance tournament where |
| 15233s | if you win a match you might get some |
| 15236s | price ships so just throw everything on |
| 15238s | the line to ensure that you can get that |
| 15239s | win uh get into that Winner's Circle do |
| 15242s | the dance |
| 15243s | have some fun and then you get the new |
| 15245s | at Price ship so we a couple years ago |
| 15248s | we restructured how the price ships get |
| 15250s | distributed uh back in the dark days |
| 15253s | only first place in second place |
| 15256s | uh got got the price ships |
| 15259s | um then we kind of moved down to four |
| 15261s | then to top six and now we've like |
| 15263s | really redistributed them through uh |
| 15266s | pretty much the top half of the |
| 15267s | tournament top 16 yeah yeah so uh really |
| 15270s | this kind of opens it up so you can |
| 15272s | participate and have a better chance at |
| 15275s | kind of getting payoff it's a lot of |
| 15277s | work to put a team through the alliance |
| 15278s | tournament this is a lot of practice a |
| 15280s | lot of effort from people not just |
| 15282s | flying on the teams but the theory |
| 15284s | crafter is the one practicing uh you |
| 15287s | name it so being able to reward these |
| 15288s | Pilots for their incredible work uh is a |
| 15291s | really strong suit it certainly is and I |
| 15294s | I love to see that we increase the |
| 15296s | number as well that we've been giving |
| 15297s | away the last few years so there's way |
| 15299s | more of these ships out and about you |
| 15301s | see a lot more people using them there's |
| 15302s | a lot more teams have them and can use |
| 15304s | them to reward their members uh and also |
| 15307s | as you just said by going to you know in |
| 15309s | the winners bracket you get yourself at |
| 15310s | least top 12 and you get a couple of |
| 15312s | ships now speaking of brackets there's |
| 15314s | also the elimination bracket for teams |
| 15315s | who don't do so well and some of those |
| 15318s | teams we were going to start seeing |
| 15319s | there let's take a look at that bracket |
| 15321s | so it's starting to slowly fill up I |
| 15323s | believe this needs to be updated though |
| 15325s | because it's definitely missing a number |
| 15328s | of of uh of of teams I'm looking at |
| 15332s | clearly I'm gonna up to date one and I |
| 15334s | can see many more teams in those slots |
| 15336s | uh so we'll perhaps come back to this |
| 15338s | for this bracket a little bit later uh |
| 15341s | but we could talk about the first match |
| 15342s | in the elimination bracket that we're |
| 15344s | going to go to now which is going to be |
| 15345s | a spicy one it is truth honor light |
| 15348s | versus Exodus so let's take a look at |
| 15350s | the bands for that one truth only of |
| 15352s | course lost their Flagship just a few |
| 15354s | hours ago and here we are so truth on |
| 15357s | the light Banning the auger the executor |
| 15359s | the diva and the EOS access banging out |
| 15362s | curse Loki slept near and Sentinel black |
| 15365s | bear pirate interesting sets of bands |
| 15366s | here from truth on a light the tech one |
| 15368s | Logistics cruisers for armor what do you |
| 15370s | think here yeah I think they might be |
| 15371s | trolling a little bit |
| 15373s | um so normally traditionally we would |
| 15375s | say like tree thunder light has |
| 15377s | basically won the last two tournaments |
| 15379s | in a row um they won one under Hydra |
| 15381s | they won last one under higher truth on |
| 15383s | our light this year they're in the |
| 15385s | elimination bracket so normally when |
| 15387s | they do something we're like ah they |
| 15388s | figured out some weird comp that you |
| 15391s | know people can fly into them that uses |
| 15393s | executors which nobody ever flies in the |
| 15397s | at they're they're worse than augers |
| 15398s | like auger ban okay I kind of get it |
| 15400s | radiva band maybe but the executor like |
| 15402s | that's so weird and that kind of makes |
| 15404s | me think that like they might be doing a |
| 15406s | little bit of trolling here because if |
| 15409s | they had won their last match I'd be |
| 15410s | like ah they're doing some big brain |
| 15412s | thing but they they lost the big brain |
| 15413s | privilege until they win this one all |
| 15415s | right |
| 15416s | um The Exodus fans those are pretty |
| 15417s | standard and we have been seeing truth |
| 15419s | on our light use Sentinels constantly |
| 15420s | and in fact you've seen Sentinels being |
| 15422s | used constantly to extremely good effect |
| 15424s | so that's kind of that makes sense |
| 15427s | almost like her Sentinel very very |
| 15429s | powerful bands |
| 15430s | yeah I mean CC Swift did you think on a |
| 15432s | weekend one we'd see an elimination |
| 15434s | match between truth honor light and |
| 15435s | exodus I did not I mean some of these |
| 15438s | Pilots are the most talented pilots in |
| 15440s | the alliance tournament in terms of |
| 15441s | individual skill uh Bart mentioned it |
| 15443s | like uh truth honor light |
| 15446s | this is a dominant team like not only |
| 15449s | for the last few years but through its |
| 15450s | entire line storm in history from a |
| 15452s | lion's tournament like night onwards uh |
| 15454s | they have always been a contention it |
| 15456s | seems uh regardless of personnel they |
| 15458s | kind of just move people in and out uh |
| 15461s | so having their backs against the wall I |
| 15463s | mean this is this is the problem when |
| 15465s | you're the most dominant team you always |
| 15467s | get everyone's best shot in every single |
| 15470s | match there are no easy matches |
| 15471s | whatsoever and here they are again I |
| 15475s | think with their backup against the wall |
| 15476s | they're gonna just slide through easy |
| 15479s | all right I believe we can go back to |
| 15481s | that elimination bracket graphic now and |
| 15483s | see if it's a little interrupted here we |
| 15485s | go so this is the elimination bracket |
| 15488s | from round two onwards so these matches |
| 15490s | all still to go we're at the bottom down |
| 15492s | there truth on a light versus Exodus you |
| 15494s | can see now the route they have to go |
| 15495s | through just to get to what we call |
| 15496s | loses round seven that still has more |
| 15499s | brackets to the right of this by the way |
| 15500s | so this is now a gauntlet that these |
| 15502s | teams have to go through of course every |
| 15504s | time a team advances one along another |
| 15506s | team drops down from the Winner's |
| 15508s | bracket to fill those gaps so it's uh |
| 15510s | it's certainly something you have to |
| 15512s | chew through to to make your way back to |
| 15514s | glory and we have seen teams do it uh I |
| 15516s | believe Hydra themselves did it in |
| 15518s | Alliance tournament uh 15 or 16 where |
| 15521s | they got knocked to the elimination |
| 15522s | bracket in uh day one |
| 15525s | um and then had to fight through uh just |
| 15527s | match after match after match and they |
| 15529s | made it all the way to the finals where |
| 15530s | I believe they eventually lost a video |
| 15531s | reloaded and an exciting Grand Final so |
| 15535s | it's certainly a heck of a journey for |
| 15537s | these teams that when they get not done |
| 15539s | earlier you don't want that to happen |
| 15540s | it's going to increase the workload of |
| 15542s | your team your captains your theory |
| 15544s | Crafters the people who are buying up |
| 15545s | ships modules and things in in you know |
| 15547s | she's turned Market hubs and getting |
| 15549s | your ships ready it's just more to do if |
| 15551s | you're in the winners bracket you play |
| 15552s | like two matches weekend one see you we |
| 15554s | can too if you if you lose early oh well |
| 15557s | get ready it's going to be right well |
| 15559s | it's time to head over to the arena to |
| 15561s | see if truth honor light can keep moving |
| 15563s | forward or if Exodus can knock them down |
| 15565s | again with |
| 15566s | and Mark resurrectus |
| 15573s | hello welcome back friends it is me Mark |
| 15576s | resurrect is here with Nazir and we have |
| 15578s | truth honor light in red and our friends |
| 15581s | from |
| 15582s | Exodus in blue with truth only like we |
| 15585s | have a interesting setup uh fairox |
| 15588s | vulture fairox Navy brutix Navy all on |
| 15590s | the high end and a lot of DPS coming out |
| 15592s | of those ships uh and then you know a |
| 15595s | Phantasm uh exec Navy exec Navy just an |
| 15599s | incredible amount of DPS mazier what are |
| 15601s | we seeing from the team from Exodus in |
| 15603s | blue okay access approach to think about |
| 15605s | traditional like with a heavy Battleship |
| 15607s | called like bargain Vindicator and a |
| 15609s | baton created chunky ships and they're |
| 15612s | supported by two command destroyers two |
| 15614s | lucky figures a hyena and two crucifiers |
| 15616s | and the the Hydra Illustrated the true |
| 15618s | funnel Light Team something like a |
| 15620s | untraditional looks like a shield |
| 15622s | version of the battle cruiser Cruiser |
| 15625s | spam count it does and they're |
| 15627s | immediately going after the hyena of |
| 15629s | Wasa QC from Exodus and it will go down |
| 15633s | quickly those rails will have no trouble |
| 15635s | tracking that hyena now going in on the |
| 15638s | British Navy this is of course a shield |
| 15641s | of brutix Navy uh now dipping into half |
| 15644s | Shield uh from bap 1811. |
| 15649s | yes this is like a highly offensive |
| 15650s | setup with a lot of damage here they do |
| 15653s | have like this Osprey to like wrap them |
| 15654s | a bit but these Shield ships do not have |
| 15656s | many Mitchells they can use for tank but |
| 15658s | the in return they get a lot of low |
| 15661s | slots for the year damage so seeing them |
| 15663s | like tear through stuff as they |
| 15665s | my struggle a bit to track some of the |
| 15667s | smaller frigates they're going to take |
| 15668s | some good piloting but it looks like |
| 15670s | that crucifier is going to get him at |
| 15672s | the same time of indicators are taking |
| 15673s | heavy damage yeah the vindicator's |
| 15675s | taking quite a bit of damage right now |
| 15676s | as is the ferex of Ajax 33 that ferox is |
| 15679s | now to be in the low Shield the Osprey |
| 15681s | doing its absolute best to try and keep |
| 15683s | it up uh on top of well yeah absolutely |
| 15686s | trying to keep it up right now but again |
| 15688s | The Vindicator is going to go down into |
| 15690s | half armor just evolved into a pro like |
| 15693s | a lot of people being like a in the |
| 15695s | middle like going all in for that |
| 15697s | Vindicator they do lose the fairways but |
| 15699s | that's indicated |
| 15703s | medium cards can strike well when people |
| 15705s | know how to turn into professional match |
| 15707s | and these guys for sure know how to do |
| 15709s | it absolutely now pushing back in on the |
| 15710s | brute Steve the brutic Steve he's gonna |
| 15712s | take a lot of damage again it is not a |
| 15713s | traditional Shield tank shipped so if |
| 15715s | there's one to push on it is this |
| 15716s | British Navy but if they lose the |
| 15718s | British Navy and the Fair Oaks in |
| 15719s | exchange for a Vindicator it's a pretty |
| 15721s | good trade |
| 15726s | this is definitely a traitor worth it |
| 15729s | especially considering okay The Exodus |
| 15731s | team only have one lucky remaining so I |
| 15733s | can easily finish that off as well |
| 15736s | and that Vindicator now is going to get |
| 15738s | taken down the the drones were not |
| 15741s | enough to keep it up and with the |
| 15742s | freeology's suffering it will go to the |
| 15745s | kill board now we have them going in on |
| 15747s | the balgorn of sabotage uh we'll be |
| 15750s | their next Target Amelia dusk space in |
| 15752s | the ferrex may be taking a little bit of |
| 15753s | damage right now held in place pretty |
| 15755s | well |
| 15756s | and they should be going at half Shield |
| 15759s | they're going after this one now too |
| 15760s | I believe it was the first time I've |
| 15762s | actually seen a Ferguson aviation in a |
| 15763s | tournament setting and they might |
| 15765s | actually win with the fair tonight issue |
| 15768s | that's uh that's like an impressive feat |
| 15769s | as well there's some paragonist also |
| 15771s | they came here with them as a |
| 15773s | relationships to see who's going to |
| 15774s | outlit the other one Deacon is still |
| 15776s | holding on a low armor but doesn't take |
| 15778s | much like finish move he's so good way |
| 15780s | off so he can't even repair the bag on |
| 15782s | yeah losing this farex Navy is not going |
| 15784s | to be nearly as much trouble as losing |
| 15785s | the Battleground will be for the team |
| 15787s | from Exodus because they still have the |
| 15789s | vulture they still have both the exec |
| 15791s | navies uh still have you know residual |
| 15794s | damage from the jackdaw the Moa the |
| 15796s | Phantasm they just this is such a DPS |
| 15799s | heavy comp uh they've created a lot of |
| 15801s | control for that but it does not make a |
| 15803s | difference in this case that balgorn is |
| 15804s | now dipping into high structure will not |
| 15807s | be long for this world |
| 15809s | yeah vegan is coming in close but that |
| 15811s | also allows them to shoot him and push |
| 15813s | him back out but he's trying his best |
| 15815s | right get that the bargain has some |
| 15817s | armor so he can make maybe survive it |
| 15819s | long enough to to gain the advantage |
| 15821s | there but it's still like a really |
| 15823s | brutal match a lot of |
| 15825s | time is being shot across the field the |
| 15827s | poor Deacon On The Run swarmed by drones |
| 15830s | doing his absolute best to keep his |
| 15832s | balgo and friend up one exact Navy does |
| 15835s | go down as does the Deacon the Bell |
| 15837s | going you have to think is not going to |
| 15839s | be too far behind and the balgorn will |
| 15841s | drop right here leaving only the avadon |
| 15843s | Magus Pawn effects cruise and two |
| 15846s | crucifiers left to deal with whatever is |
| 15849s | left all the the remaining three primary |
| 15852s | DPS ships from truth honor light |
| 15855s | yeah |
| 15856s | I bet it can't do a high amount of |
| 15858s | damage but at this moment like the true |
| 15861s | frontal lie to him they have to like a |
| 15863s | Mobility Advantage they can just burn |
| 15864s | away from the bed and if they're getting |
| 15866s | pregnant that is what gadesh Priestess |
| 15868s | is doing burning array like trying to |
| 15870s | stay alive and also like finishing off |
| 15872s | these crucifiers that are like harassing |
| 15875s | them yeah one crucifier goes down we may |
| 15878s | see the exact Navy drop as well too if |
| 15880s | they can't get out of range uh the the |
| 15882s | Avid on doing its absolute best to try |
| 15884s | and snipe it from distance |
| 15886s | and it it is in low uh low hold just |
| 15890s | barely taking Osprey reps right now it |
| 15893s | might go right here and if that's the |
| 15895s | case they still have the vulture they |
| 15897s | still have the Phantasm again they still |
| 15899s | have their lodgy for one uh and the the |
| 15902s | numbers from the team from Exodus are |
| 15904s | rapidly dropping another crucifier goes |
| 15906s | down |
| 15907s | yeah |
| 15909s | so this is like a losing a lot of DPS |
| 15912s | ships |
| 15913s | but they still have the lucky to keep uh |
| 15916s | to keep them alive and at this point |
| 15917s | it's going to be harder harder for the |
| 15919s | pattern track to finish any of them off |
| 15921s | yes it will the Abaddon doing its best |
| 15924s | to try and stay up and now at this point |
| 15926s | truth unlike really just has to kite |
| 15927s | away if the kite away they win they're |
| 15929s | up uh 13 points right now over Exodus 56 |
| 15932s | to 69 nice uh the Osprey now taking some |
| 15936s | damage uh as that may be their next |
| 15939s | Target go for the Osprey but they still |
| 15940s | they need more points |
| 15942s | is going in getting so he cannot move so |
| 15946s | vulture is the tank is ship on the true |
| 15949s | funnel light team so he's confident you |
| 15951s | can take it and then just have the other |
| 15953s | guys like but anyway get out of the |
| 15955s | range from the bed and like give them |
| 15956s | the safety and forcing him to shoot the |
| 15959s | vulture yeah they uh the the Osprey |
| 15962s | looks like it will be okay here has |
| 15964s | gotten its transversal way up and the |
| 15966s | Abaddon has absolutely held down by this |
| 15969s | vulture just sitting on top of him doing |
| 15971s | his dirty business uh and really if they |
| 15973s | if they can't find somebody else to |
| 15975s | shoot here that's going to be it they |
| 15977s | won't have anything there's nothing else |
| 15978s | in I mean unless they can find some |
| 15980s | smart targets but at this point a team |
| 15982s | like truth on a light is not going to |
| 15983s | make any of those targets available yeah |
| 15985s | looks like the small ships are going for |
| 15986s | that the punch me is trying to finish |
| 15987s | him off but he's on the beacon so yeah |
| 15989s | he did jump just say even a little bit |
| 15991s | more time |
| 15995s | yeah the pawn effects is gonna drop he |
| 15998s | was in very low Hull |
| 16000s | and this I think this is it I don't you |
| 16002s | know you don't want to call it early uh |
| 16004s | but without any other primary targets I |
| 16006s | think they're just gonna pick and pick |
| 16007s | and pick at this Abaddon very well |
| 16009s | played by the team from truth honor |
| 16011s | light the Magus goes down here in just a |
| 16012s | moment uh and they did exactly what they |
| 16014s | needed to they defend the the the most |
| 16016s | dangerous ship on grid and then they |
| 16018s | just picked him apart from the back end |
| 16020s | even if they were willing to give up you |
| 16022s | know battle Cruisers they had so much |
| 16024s | DPS left over it really didn't make a |
| 16026s | difference |
| 16027s | so I think like one thing I really need |
| 16029s | to shout out to the true frontal light |
| 16030s | team is that after losing that flag |
| 16033s | Battleship and like losing a match that |
| 16035s | the |
| 16037s | and knocked down into the lower bracket |
| 16039s | despite like being the one of the |
| 16040s | tournament favorites they it can be |
| 16042s | something I can really break your arm |
| 16043s | overall but these guys kept their |
| 16045s | composure and they managed to continue |
| 16048s | and keep on like a this is one of themes |
| 16051s | that can like just go through the lower |
| 16052s | break and then murder everyone on their |
| 16054s | way and then make it to the finals after |
| 16056s | all they did do that one year where they |
| 16058s | even got knocked down the first match by |
| 16061s | um by Tempest team so well you guys |
| 16064s | definitely dangerous you almost think |
| 16066s | like they Revel in this right they just |
| 16068s | they it absolutely gets them going like |
| 16071s | the idea of okay so you knocked us down |
| 16073s | out of the winners bracket now they're |
| 16075s | looking at the losers bracket like a |
| 16077s | bunch of wolves like they're gonna get |
| 16079s | out there and feast like they they they |
| 16082s | have that mentality which is so |
| 16084s | important man zaraxel Nightblade in the |
| 16087s | Abaddon now dropping into Hull will not |
| 16089s | be long for this world uh |
| 16093s | certainly made it really hard for the |
| 16095s | true fun I like to progressed from here |
| 16097s | like day and age they had to really |
| 16099s | bring the a game and uh do the best to |
| 16102s | to defeat the agents but unfortunately |
| 16104s | that means The Exodus are going to drop |
| 16106s | out of the tournaments this is the |
| 16107s | elimination bracket match |
| 16109s | that was a great match truth honor light |
| 16112s | still the odds on favorite for this |
| 16114s | tournament a spectacular display here we |
| 16116s | will send it back to the desk with our |
| 16118s | friends CCP overload black part Bart |
| 16121s | pirate and CCP Swift |
| 16140s | [Music] |
| 16143s | [Applause] |
| 16149s | are you ready yeah see somebody's house |
| 16152s | on the way what do you think it would |
| 16155s | feel like if a ship worked through your |
| 16157s | house I might have some weird effect |
| 16159s | like imagine like sneezing like they get |
| 16162s | explosive diarrhea or something like |
| 16164s | that |
| 16165s | I like sneezing more |
| 16168s | if he's out of your ass |
| 16171s | guys |
| 16174s | you started with the all right you know |
| 16179s | what jump this never happened let's move |
| 16181s | on |
| 16181s | here's our secondary Target this is me |
| 16183s | broadcasted if I jump in now then we can |
| 16187s | [Applause] |
| 16190s | I want bubbles all over this big guys |
| 16193s | and up now do it now |
| 16212s | just on a light securing 10 more skins |
| 16214s | and their continuation in Alliance |
| 16216s | tournament 19 at the expense of exodus |
| 16218s | in a really close match uh X is |
| 16221s | certainly pushed truth on a light in |
| 16223s | that one they did not make it easy for |
| 16225s | sure uh it could have gone either way |
| 16227s | but right at the start CCP Swift was |
| 16230s | that QC in that hyena just bam what |
| 16232s | happened I mean that's the linchpin ship |
| 16235s | of that entire comp you just need that |
| 16237s | ship to survive for just a little bit so |
| 16239s | you can get your Mainline triple um core |
| 16242s | DPS onto the field and onto like some of |
| 16245s | those more Nimble targets uh whilst I |
| 16248s | think it's probably one of the most |
| 16249s | individually talented pilots on The |
| 16251s | Exodus team and in the alliance |
| 16253s | tournament but all those medium rail |
| 16255s | guns just if those crucifiers weren't |
| 16257s | enough just instantly nuked them and he |
| 16259s | had to sit in his capsule that whole |
| 16261s | time just watching what was a great |
| 16263s | match but you don't want to be in a |
| 16264s | capsule when your back is against the |
| 16266s | wall and your team needs you yeah |
| 16268s | definitely you want to be there webbing |
| 16269s | things down so that your Vindicator can |
| 16271s | get the top of them them Vindicator of |
| 16273s | course not the fastest ship in Eve |
| 16275s | online so it does need some help in a |
| 16277s | tournament environment getting on top of |
| 16279s | targets especially a shield setup that |
| 16282s | is going to have a lot of speed but |
| 16284s | speaking of Shield we saw Navy |
| 16285s | Executives there in a shield comp what |
| 16287s | what might be going on there oh we did |
| 16289s | uh they are we've seen them be used as |
| 16292s | Shield setups before they're very very |
| 16294s | squishy |
| 16295s | um in fact we saw them what happened |
| 16296s | with them is they got explodified |
| 16298s | extremely fast once they were caught but |
| 16300s | they do absolutely insane amounts of |
| 16302s | damage like if you can use your entire |
| 16303s | low solid rack for uh you know magnetic |
| 16307s | field stabilizers maybe a couple |
| 16308s | tracking enhancers in there you can push |
| 16310s | I think you can push them up like well |
| 16312s | over 900 DPS with railguns which is |
| 16315s | stupid like that is untankable damage |
| 16318s | and we saw that though The Vindicator |
| 16320s | did get in and got to munch on a couple |
| 16322s | uh soft squishy Cruisers The Vindicator |
| 16325s | also just got blown away by masked |
| 16327s | medium railgun damage and I think the |
| 16329s | big point about this too is that most of |
| 16331s | the ships on the truth honor lights team |
| 16334s | have some degree of tracking or |
| 16337s | projection bonuses either if it's an |
| 16340s | innate one or it's a hull bonus and |
| 16343s | though there were two crucifiers and |
| 16345s | there was a lot of tracking disruption |
| 16346s | it didn't really matter that much |
| 16348s | because there was such a long range like |
| 16349s | okay so being able to bring someone's |
| 16351s | range from 80 to 60 means they still |
| 16353s | have a 60 kilometer range and you know |
| 16355s | we are in a we are in a bubble that you |
| 16357s | cannot leave and it was just really |
| 16359s | interesting we haven't seen a shield Max |
| 16362s | threat projection setup yet we just did |
| 16364s | it seemed to work pretty well uh it was |
| 16367s | a little tight though it wasn't wasn't a |
| 16368s | clean sweep I wonder if that's one of |
| 16370s | those comps that maybe a team like truth |
| 16372s | on the light was wanting to keep in |
| 16373s | their back pocket a little bit longer in |
| 16375s | this tournament rather than you know day |
| 16377s | two but having lost their Flagship |
| 16379s | already and being forced down to the |
| 16381s | elimination bracket and then having to |
| 16382s | face a team like Exodus who are a good |
| 16385s | team like a really really good team I'm |
| 16387s | pretty sure they felt they had to to |
| 16388s | pull something out and uh you know make |
| 16390s | sure they they took that when and they |
| 16393s | took it but boy was it close at times uh |
| 16395s | CC Swift do you think it could have gone |
| 16397s | if that other than that uh hyena at the |
| 16400s | start is there anything actually that we |
| 16401s | could have really done to change it I |
| 16403s | mean it's really hard to say |
| 16405s | um I think that if you're on the Exodus |
| 16407s | side you probably go into that mentality |
| 16409s | of okay oh yeah let me do that one again |
| 16411s | and and I can crush it right like that's |
| 16414s | the the uh like the practice mentality |
| 16417s | and the skirmishing mentality uh when |
| 16419s | you're preparing for the alliance |
| 16420s | tournament after you do that one match |
| 16422s | you're like okay let me do it again I |
| 16424s | got it this time I got it and you know |
| 16425s | if you give them another chance I think |
| 16427s | they have enough uh in it to make the |
| 16429s | right calls and you know just survive it |
| 16431s | that much a little bit longer |
| 16434s | um but unfortunately they they don't get |
| 16435s | that chance |
| 16436s | what a shame but I mean we'll still see |
| 16439s | truth on the light again we won't see |
| 16440s | Exodus again uh we do say goodbye to |
| 16442s | them as as I mentioned that was indeed |
| 16444s | an elimination match uh truth on the |
| 16447s | light will go forward to face the vector |
| 16448s | of our next match uh which is going from |
| 16451s | Federation versus Darkseid this should |
| 16453s | be uh certainly an interesting one let's |
| 16455s | take a look at the bands for it so going |
| 16458s | from Federation Banning out the abaddin |
| 16460s | the Armageddon Navy issue the shack and |
| 16462s | the oniros dark side choosing to go for |
| 16464s | the Osprey Navy issue the catechol Navy |
| 16466s | issue the abaddin and the celestis of |
| 16469s | course we have some trickle bands here |
| 16472s | with the Jeweler badons so goons from |
| 16474s | Federation going for the Deacon and dark |
| 16477s | side going for the hyena Blackbird |
| 16479s | Pirates what do you make of these bands |
| 16480s | here uh it's a little interesting |
| 16483s | um seeing Darkseid ban the abaddin as |
| 16485s | well uh goons form actually you know for |
| 16488s | the first tournament in a while I feel |
| 16490s | like they're actually like in this one |
| 16492s | for reals and they're paying attention |
| 16494s | to the meta and they're paying attention |
| 16495s | to other teams because they are actually |
| 16497s | Target Banning a lot of what Darkseid |
| 16499s | brought previously which is something |
| 16501s | that you know teams that actually pay |
| 16502s | attention do uh I know that sounds kind |
| 16504s | of a little bit weird but historically |
| 16506s | goons have kind of lived in their own |
| 16508s | world which sometimes works really well |
| 16509s | you know polarized matani sometimes |
| 16512s | works terribly most of the airlines |
| 16514s | tournament records uh Dark Side Manning |
| 16516s | the abaddin is kind of range though too |
| 16518s | because goons has not really done this |
| 16521s | abandoned thing and a lot of these |
| 16522s | abandoned setups have been actually |
| 16524s | quite terribly it was good a couple |
| 16527s | years ago but you know rules change |
| 16529s | times change and it's not that great of |
| 16531s | a ship anymore which is sad because I |
| 16533s | know that somebody's one of their |
| 16534s | favorite ships ever isn't about yeah |
| 16536s | that's true I definitely do like the |
| 16538s | abaddin let's take a look at the team |
| 16540s | summaries if these two teams and just |
| 16541s | compare the different levels of |
| 16543s | experience that we can see in these |
| 16545s | teams so good from Federation 81 people |
| 16547s | have flown with gun swarm Federation |
| 16549s | over the years but only four wins uh to |
| 16552s | their credit uh some people flying 14 |
| 16554s | rounds so it's a certainly a fair number |
| 16557s | of L's they've experienced unfortunately |
| 16559s | for them and we can see on the right |
| 16560s | just a couple of wins in their recent |
| 16562s | history a banned the part they beat uh |
| 16564s | the other day uh lumpy that was the |
| 16566s | famous one we talked about just earlier |
| 16567s | on when you mentioned uh polarized |
| 16569s | britanni and bleeds of grass back in |
| 16571s | line 315 so you know not the the most uh |
| 16575s | experienced of teams let's see if we can |
| 16577s | take a look |
| 16578s | um at dark side now so dark side similar |
| 16581s | in terms of the number of people have |
| 16582s | flown for them but just the sheer number |
| 16584s | of matches played as different 24 to 10 |
| 16587s | in terms of wins and losses at some |
| 16590s | extremely experienced people like Pandy |
| 16592s | he's played 69 rounds nice uh four dark |
| 16595s | side and of course he also spent a bunch |
| 16597s | of time uh csing in vidra reloaded as a |
| 16601s | two-time Alliance Tournament champion uh |
| 16604s | and that is not even included in his |
| 16606s | match stats there so uh very experienced |
| 16608s | pilot lots of wins on the right hand |
| 16610s | side and the losses are to experienced |
| 16612s | teams like truth on the light and Volta |
| 16614s | so you know these are very different |
| 16616s | experience levels of teams CP Swift |
| 16619s | what's it like being a team like goon |
| 16621s | swarm in an elimination matching up |
| 16623s | against this really experienced team |
| 16625s | I would not know |
| 16627s | um no so as Bart was saying and as you |
| 16631s | were a little bit as well right like |
| 16632s | goonsworm as an alliance tournament team |
| 16635s | have gotten a lot of losses but every |
| 16637s | one of those L's they've learned |
| 16639s | something from it right so they've been |
| 16640s | able to build up some like tournament |
| 16642s | knowledge through the anger games and |
| 16644s | through participating in the tournaments |
| 16646s | uh so I think you just you just pick |
| 16648s | something that you're comfortable with |
| 16650s | and you know a lot of people didn't |
| 16652s | expect you to be here so you don't |
| 16653s | really have that much to lose if you go |
| 16655s | up against Dark Side imagine Dark Side |
| 16657s | losing to goon swarm ah those guys are |
| 16660s | going to be like super panicking |
| 16661s | obviously they have like you know a lot |
| 16663s | of confidence in themselves but they're |
| 16665s | gonna be super panicky because they |
| 16666s | don't want that timeline to exist |
| 16668s | so I think if you're going to you're |
| 16670s | feeling really confident about this when |
| 16671s | you're feeling really good and just go |
| 16673s | out there have a ball yeah I mean if you |
| 16675s | put it that way I do feel like dark side |
| 16677s | have more to lose here both teams have a |
| 16678s | match to lose but Dark Side have a bit |
| 16680s | of a reputation to uphold here |
| 16683s | um and you know as much as uh as much as |
| 16685s | we love you uh not the most uh |
| 16688s | successful of Alliance tournament teams |
| 16689s | and twitch agrees with us by looks a bit |
| 16691s | on channel points uh just under 2 |
| 16693s | million going for Dark Side uh and 400 |
| 16696s | 000 on gun from Federation so we've |
| 16698s | certainly seen more lopsided uh betting |
| 16701s | odds and they've gone the other way |
| 16702s | truth on the lights versus barcode |
| 16704s | aileron was about 90 to 10 so more |
| 16707s | people having faith in good form |
| 16709s | Federation uh than perhaps uh we've |
| 16712s | given them credit for so that's pretty |
| 16714s | cool to see |
| 16716s | access to my channel points right now |
| 16718s | it's a great value bet and uh and why |
| 16721s | not so you're probably still logged in |
| 16723s | the other room can uh don't we ask |
| 16724s | someone to just uh |
| 16729s | you can't say that you can say like oh I |
| 16732s | really hoped that they would win I would |
| 16733s | it would be great for The Narrative of |
| 16735s | goons when it'd be fantastic they're the |
| 16736s | best goon swarm team of all time this |
| 16738s | year but when you say I would bet on |
| 16740s | goons you just yeah you just you just |
| 16742s | got him I've never lost when I come to |
| 16745s | uh betting my channel points so and |
| 16747s | you're gonna put your channel points on |
| 16749s | gun from Federation here absolutely okay |
| 16751s | whoever's in the room with uh CCB |
| 16752s | Swift's computer please put his channel |
| 16754s | points on goons run Federation you have |
| 16756s | my permission thank you all right it's |
| 16758s | time to go find out what happens to CC |
| 16760s | CCP Swift's Channel points with our |
| 16763s | casters Alec and Chad |
| 16770s | we are here at a very thrilling and |
| 16773s | likely bloody matchup both teams |
| 16775s | bringing a somewhat mirror image of one |
| 16777s | another goon swarm here with a variation |
| 16779s | of Max threat sort of with a vulture |
| 16782s | Navy fairx Navy heart Navy Merm Phantasm |
| 16784s | double Navy Exeter with an osprey Chad |
| 16788s | what do we have on dark side |
| 16790s | Dark Side bringing that um gunboat style |
| 16792s | medium blasters and beams uh with a |
| 16796s | heavy armor core of absolution |
| 16798s | Navy Burdick's Navy British Navy double |
| 16800s | exact Navy with a double Talia low end |
| 16805s | interesting decisions the double Talia |
| 16807s | versus the skybreaker investment from |
| 16809s | goonsworm we've got the single Cruiser |
| 16812s | versus double frigate |
| 16814s | this could go an interesting number of |
| 16816s | ways I think as far as weapon damage and |
| 16818s | output dark side has a slight Edge |
| 16820s | shooting into the Shield team with those |
| 16822s | lasers and they are charging forward to |
| 16824s | make the most of it as the jackdaw of |
| 16826s | goonsworm is primaried and drops |
| 16828s | immediately |
| 16830s | and we see the logic frigate being the |
| 16832s | target of goon swarms onto dark side |
| 16834s | does not seem like they're getting the |
| 16835s | same results that Darkseid got on their |
| 16837s | low end now Nathalia already trying to |
| 16840s | burn maximum transversal there as both |
| 16842s | of them cutting to the side at a full 90 |
| 16844s | degree angle goons from attempting to |
| 16846s | transversal match but it's clearly not |
| 16848s | doing enough they're now pivoting to |
| 16850s | shooting the exec or navy issue but in |
| 16852s | exchange they're trading their logic for |
| 16854s | it that is a terrible trade even if this |
| 16856s | execute Navy goes down goonstorm |
| 16858s | definitely on the back foot here losing |
| 16860s | their logic for not much in return |
| 16863s | exactly and it doesn't look like they |
| 16865s | were successful at even attempting to |
| 16866s | get that Lottery trait to go anywhere in |
| 16868s | their favor the Navy exec is down let's |
| 16870s | see what the next targets are going to |
| 16871s | be as goonsworm is losing their Navy |
| 16873s | exact yeah these Navy Executives high |
| 16875s | priority targets they have extremely |
| 16877s | high damage output whether they're in |
| 16879s | armor or Shield configurations Shield |
| 16881s | obviously able to devote all of its low |
| 16884s | sods to damage an application but |
| 16886s | trading it for that tank x-ray Navy |
| 16888s | doesn't have a ton of mid slots to put |
| 16890s | in there damage is somewhat slowing down |
| 16892s | now as the hard Navy is losing its |
| 16894s | Shields down to about one-third Shield |
| 16896s | here not as spectacular damage output |
| 16900s | it's possible dark side is on a Reload |
| 16902s | cycle or adjusting their tactics |
| 16904s | somewhat and they're they're picking the |
| 16906s | damage back up now to the harbinger Navy |
| 16908s | he's now dipping deep into armor |
| 16910s | and meanwhile the Exeter Navy sort of |
| 16913s | into armor but he's getting some wraps |
| 16915s | here obviously reps no longer available |
| 16917s | for the goons from Team their Logistics |
| 16919s | are down that armor is not coming back |
| 16921s | the shields are not coming back the |
| 16922s | structure is not coming back and that |
| 16924s | Harbinger Navy is not coming back as |
| 16927s | gunstorm is down one of their key DPS |
| 16929s | ships and they have yet to trade |
| 16931s | anything |
| 16933s | yeah we see this exactly slowly breaking |
| 16935s | but not actually breaking fast enough it |
| 16937s | is buying enough time for Darkseid to |
| 16939s | get even more ships on the goonswords |
| 16941s | I'm down as we see another exec on their |
| 16943s | end go down the armor tank barely |
| 16944s | holding but buying enough time for them |
| 16946s | to get more Dooms ships down and take a |
| 16949s | massive advantage in this match |
| 16951s | oh that extra Navy absolutely dissolved |
| 16953s | in the face of the railgun and Laser |
| 16956s | damage coming from Dark Side the sky |
| 16957s | breaker going to join shortly it's |
| 16960s | untackled but it does not matter as the |
| 16962s | hit points just get absolutely |
| 16964s | evaporated under the heat from these |
| 16965s | high tracking lasers meanwhile the |
| 16968s | Christopher the excuse me the executor |
| 16970s | Navy sitting perfectly fine at |
| 16971s | two-thirds armor now it seems goon is |
| 16973s | pivoting once again to go after the |
| 16975s | Thalia of Mr caps but he's tanking just |
| 16978s | fine |
| 16979s | it also looks like now they're making |
| 16980s | another Target call switching over to |
| 16982s | that herb Navy on the dark side team as |
| 16984s | dark side is just picking a Target |
| 16985s | watching it Shields vanish and just |
| 16987s | going on to the next guy |
| 16990s | yeah the the Goon swarm team struggling |
| 16993s | now they're losing their critical |
| 16994s | massive damage once this murm Navy goes |
| 16997s | down that's going to be the remainder of |
| 16998s | their control and a big chunk of damage |
| 17000s | in its own right the ferric's Navy |
| 17002s | vulture Phantasm a formidable Trio of |
| 17005s | ships but when you still have Logistics |
| 17006s | alive for Darkseid they should be able |
| 17009s | to handle that incoming damage provided |
| 17011s | those ships stay in position don't |
| 17013s | accidentally fly out of range of |
| 17015s | whatever goonsor decides to primary they |
| 17018s | have a lot of room for error at this |
| 17019s | point in the match though sitting |
| 17021s | comfortably at a 58-7 lead |
| 17023s | that leads about to change soon also |
| 17025s | with how quick these Shield trips are |
| 17027s | going the ferox already in low armor and |
| 17029s | that is going to go down soon as well |
| 17032s | the ferric's one of the few ships on |
| 17033s | their team with a local tank you can see |
| 17035s | it trying to recover some of those |
| 17036s | Shields but it's just not enough one |
| 17039s | ship not able to tank the withering amen |
| 17041s | of Fire coming off of the dark side team |
| 17042s | as the ferox Navy finally goes down and |
| 17045s | now it seems they've set their sights on |
| 17047s | Tiki nari's Phantasm which has a pretty |
| 17050s | cool afterburner bonus but is still not |
| 17053s | going to be fast enough to out track the |
| 17054s | damage and most importantly these drones |
| 17056s | it has a massive drone cloud surrounding |
| 17059s | it and those Warriors are going to cut |
| 17061s | through the armor as they do just there |
| 17062s | and that Phantasm drops |
| 17065s | you know Dark Side doing a really good |
| 17067s | job Target calling it they got that |
| 17069s | Osprey Off the Grid early really |
| 17071s | allowing them to just chew through these |
| 17073s | Shield chips as goons got one early ship |
| 17076s | down in that exact Navy but was unable |
| 17078s | to actually capitalize on anything else |
| 17079s | due to the power of those talias uh |
| 17082s | Staying Alive with that low Sig and |
| 17084s | repping each other as well as the rest |
| 17086s | of their team not allowing goons to |
| 17088s | actually break anything |
| 17089s | yeah I'm sure guns expected to be able |
| 17091s | to kill those frigates just fine but if |
| 17093s | you look at their ships a little more |
| 17094s | carefully none of those ships have a |
| 17096s | tracking bonus except for the Navy harb |
| 17099s | that's just not going to be enough |
| 17101s | against armor frigates a lot of their |
| 17103s | damage is going to be unable to apply in |
| 17105s | the one ship that actually could put |
| 17107s | significant damage on the target |
| 17108s | shooting right into the resist strengths |
| 17110s | as this vulture finally Falls giving |
| 17112s | Dark Side the win here 100 to 7 a |
| 17115s | commanding performance |
| 17129s | thank you |
| 17138s | [Music] |
| 17161s | thank you |
| 17173s | thank you |
| 17183s | you are one of two people that couldn't |
| 17186s | listen and couldn't check bookmarks and |
| 17189s | find your own way out the route the |
| 17191s | entire route was literally bookmarked |
| 17193s | out to Lasik I bookmarked it 10 minutes |
| 17195s | in advance |
| 17197s | Dark Side taking the win over goons from |
| 17199s | Federation who depart Alliance |
| 17201s | tournament 19 uh it was a decent run |
| 17203s | they did well in marbles uh to get into |
| 17206s | the feeders they got good decent seating |
| 17209s | they've got a nice win early on in the |
| 17211s | tournament uh but unfortunately then uh |
| 17213s | lost two and |
| 17215s | that's it for them they are they're gone |
| 17217s | but they have their own tournament uh of |
| 17219s | course everyone's welcome to take part |
| 17220s | but it is run by members of control |
| 17221s | Federation structural and Dirk the |
| 17223s | anchor game six we did confirm that |
| 17225s | earlier it's coming rules in December so |
| 17227s | make sure you hop on their discard and |
| 17229s | look out for that so they can now devote |
| 17231s | full-time soft to working out those |
| 17233s | rules because I know you have nothing |
| 17234s | else to do now because you're out of the |
| 17236s | tournament uh but that was an |
| 17238s | interesting comp we saw them bring |
| 17240s | almost identical to what we saw truth on |
| 17242s | a light bring in the match just before |
| 17244s | very few differences I mean I'm looking |
| 17246s | at it now |
| 17247s | um there was instead of the Navy British |
| 17249s | and the ferricks they had a Navy |
| 17250s | Harbinger and a murmidon and there's a |
| 17253s | sky breaker instead of a MOA but other |
| 17254s | than that basically the same kind of |
| 17256s | concept and I think we got to see the |
| 17258s | difference between the two levels of |
| 17260s | execution their Blackberry pirate what |
| 17262s | do you think yeah and I guess something |
| 17264s | to kind of look because I I was not |
| 17266s | reading twitch chat but I kind of know |
| 17267s | that people every time things like that |
| 17269s | were like similar setups they're like ah |
| 17271s | the collusion they're coughing each |
| 17272s | other uh because these matches were so |
| 17274s | close together there's not really time |
| 17276s | for goonestorm to have been like oh we |
| 17279s | just saw truth on our light fly this |
| 17280s | we're gonna fly it like you don't have |
| 17281s | time you have to be ready already but we |
| 17284s | did see a massive difference in |
| 17285s | execution uh I think that you called out |
| 17288s | that we think that what happened is the |
| 17292s | goons form Target caller said the Thalia |
| 17294s | will be primary and so they shot both at |
| 17296s | the same time weren't able to break |
| 17297s | either of them and by the time that sort |
| 17300s | of was figured out and they swapped you |
| 17302s | know 40 50 seconds later they're already |
| 17303s | down a jackdaw they're already down |
| 17305s | another DPS ship and that was it and |
| 17307s | that's kind of one of those things where |
| 17308s | the sort of the tight-knit and |
| 17311s | experience of a team like truth honor |
| 17313s | light who has flown so many matches |
| 17316s | they're not going to make that mistake |
| 17318s | they're going to have everything sorted |
| 17320s | out and the instant that starts they're |
| 17322s | gonna Alpha somebody which theoretically |
| 17324s | the competition that goonestorm had |
| 17327s | could have done the exact same thing |
| 17328s | like it was very similar besides you |
| 17330s | know um satonia said something about the |
| 17332s | Navy Merm and was like uh which you can |
| 17335s | talk about that one but theoretically |
| 17337s | the Hydra setup should have that uniform |
| 17340s | use should have been able to do exactly |
| 17342s | what truth honor light did |
| 17345s | let's just be careful you join us uh |
| 17346s | what was uh what about this Navy Roman |
| 17348s | done I just don't like using the Navy |
| 17350s | moment on over the Navy breedics just |
| 17352s | because the Navy Bridge just has far |
| 17354s | more reliable damage and especially it's |
| 17356s | going to do damage to the same ranges as |
| 17359s | the rest of your railgun ships generally |
| 17360s | rather than the Navy mom that has to |
| 17363s | spend some time sending the drones over |
| 17365s | to it it does have bonus guns and bonus |
| 17367s | tracking so it can kind of do about |
| 17370s | two-thirds of the DPS that the brutix |
| 17372s | can do but just having that delayed DPS |
| 17374s | I think also uh just means you just |
| 17377s | can't kill Target super fast yeah we saw |
| 17379s | right at the start of that match the |
| 17381s | goonsworm jackdaw just get pretty much |
| 17383s | followed from the get-go I honestly |
| 17386s | didn't even get a chance to see if um he |
| 17388s | was even moving at the start what we |
| 17390s | sometimes see is a match starts and a |
| 17392s | ship just appears to be sitting |
| 17393s | completely stationary for for no reason |
| 17395s | but when you're teleported then and you |
| 17397s | warp into the arena before the match |
| 17398s | actually starts well the countdown is |
| 17400s | running you are locked in space you |
| 17402s | can't do anything if you hit approach if |
| 17404s | you double click in space your ship |
| 17405s | doesn't move so if you maybe like hit |
| 17408s | approach just before the start of the |
| 17409s | actual match or double click in space |
| 17411s | that's ignored you have to actually do |
| 17413s | it after zero and sometimes we see |
| 17415s | people being a little bit premature they |
| 17416s | click the button then they start turning |
| 17418s | on mods and things like that and they |
| 17420s | just sit there for a couple of seconds |
| 17421s | and it's quite possible that happened to |
| 17423s | the jackdaw and he just got a little bit |
| 17425s | cut out uh Blackberry Pirates have you |
| 17427s | ever experienced anything like that |
| 17428s | um I probably have I could probably go |
| 17430s | back in time and see it uh one thing |
| 17432s | that |
| 17433s | um I think is important because |
| 17435s | obviously we are all watching them and |
| 17436s | seeing their every single actions so |
| 17438s | it's very easy for us to look at a pilot |
| 17440s | and say wow look how terrible you are |
| 17442s | now I will say we have seen like |
| 17444s | flagships not moved for 30 seconds and |
| 17445s | that one's kind of like |
| 17447s | okay you're being terrible but when it's |
| 17449s | you know a couple seconds |
| 17451s | um I highly suggest anybody who does PVP |
| 17453s | and Eve to record yourself pvping and |
| 17458s | then go back and watch that and you're |
| 17459s | gonna be like Jesus Christ I am so |
| 17462s | terrible at this game it took me 12 |
| 17464s | seconds to start overheating a module in |
| 17466s | this situation so imagine that with |
| 17470s | a situation where the alliance |
| 17471s | tournament where like every single win |
| 17472s | like those 10 ship skins alone is you |
| 17475s | know tens of billions of isk at least |
| 17477s | sometimes even more uh every single win |
| 17479s | here is massive isk gain every single |
| 17482s | loss is the 5 000 people watching you |
| 17485s | being able to ridicule your every single |
| 17487s | moment so I can understand why this |
| 17489s | stuff happens |
| 17490s | um it's okay to kind of be nice to them |
| 17492s | to some degree unless they're in teams |
| 17494s | like Volta or truth Hunter light where |
| 17496s | you're like you guys should know better |
| 17497s | yeah I mean speaking of Truth on a light |
| 17500s | um dark side will move on in the |
| 17501s | elimination bracket and it'll go up |
| 17503s | later on against truth on a light uh I |
| 17506s | believe next Saturday yeah next Saturday |
| 17508s | we will see Darkseid versus truth on a |
| 17510s | light truth on live course lost their |
| 17511s | Flagship Dark Side still have a flagship |
| 17512s | Flagship Vindicator available so that |
| 17515s | should be a super spicy match which I'm |
| 17517s | very much looking forward to now we've |
| 17519s | got about eight or so minutes until our |
| 17521s | next match which is paper numbers versus |
| 17522s | till doomsday and moderator has been |
| 17525s | busy he's been off interviewing people |
| 17526s | again this time we can hear from the |
| 17528s | captain of paper numbers |
| 17530s | yo hello I'm Jeffy from paper numbers |
| 17533s | the current 80 Captain together with |
| 17535s | Rife Eisen rifles and sadly not here but |
| 17538s | I can answer all your questions we are |
| 17541s | currently living in nullsack because |
| 17543s | there's a little bit more content and |
| 17545s | it's better for recruiting we got a |
| 17546s | little bit bored of Wormhole so now we |
| 17549s | yeah with a note second to our stuff |
| 17551s | there what has been your experience as a |
| 17554s | captain or co-captain of your team my |
| 17556s | first experience was in Anger games this |
| 17558s | was my first tourney and everyone was |
| 17560s | feeding like down after the 18 L trick |
| 17563s | we just formed paper numbers from a |
| 17565s | trick all the German people came |
| 17567s | together and then I was like yo guys |
| 17568s | let's do attorney we have good pilots |
| 17570s | and then we went into anger games and |
| 17572s | got second place this was my first time |
| 17575s | captaining and I was really proud and I |
| 17577s | thought yeah let's go for the 80. it was |
| 17579s | a good practice I think we can go far |
| 17581s | and I think we got a little bit far we |
| 17583s | won twice and I lost twice so it was a |
| 17586s | good first experience and this time we |
| 17589s | will we want to go for more even though |
| 17590s | it teams that we are up against I think |
| 17592s | are real estate |
| 17598s | effect yeah last time you managed to get |
| 17600s | top 16 securing yourself from the price |
| 17602s | ships from that year and you know you |
| 17604s | had to go up against bright side of |
| 17605s | death and dark side so I mean those are |
| 17608s | pretty difficult matches you had there |
| 17610s | um this year in order to qualify that |
| 17612s | you had to play initiative how did it |
| 17614s | feel to beat them round one and make |
| 17616s | this year's tournament |
| 17617s | um it was very exciting uh they made up |
| 17619s | a really good fight but they brought a |
| 17621s | comp that's uh is now a bit stronger |
| 17623s | than before because of the changes of |
| 17625s | the script that you were and so on and |
| 17627s | so it was very difficult but we managed |
| 17630s | to beat them and now we're on u80 we're |
| 17632s | very happy you guys have a little bit of |
| 17633s | experience from you know the last couple |
| 17635s | years I mean think rifasin is fairly |
| 17637s | well known for having some amazing micro |
| 17639s | jump drive place where he's gotten into |
| 17641s | the back line and you know caught some |
| 17643s | ships is that like a deliberate part of |
| 17645s | what you guys have looked at or is that |
| 17647s | just something you've seen an |
| 17648s | opportunity for first of all it was the |
| 17650s | idea of me to counter kiting comms |
| 17653s | because when we played a Brawley armor |
| 17655s | slow armor comp especially in Anger |
| 17657s | games where you don't always have a lot |
| 17658s | of links for speed for example you |
| 17661s | really need a counter for kiting comms |
| 17663s | so I came up with why don't we just mjd |
| 17665s | if they're cutting out 100 kilometer and |
| 17667s | then on the tournament it worked out now |
| 17669s | I just tell rifles yeah how about |
| 17671s | Richard's mjd and yeah this is where |
| 17673s | where it comes from I guess I think it's |
| 17675s | it's really strong it's something that |
| 17678s | not a lot of people use I don't know why |
| 17680s | exactly because I guess it's very risky |
| 17683s | if you bump or something but I think |
| 17684s | positionally it's a really good tool to |
| 17687s | make the best out of your slow |
| 17689s | Battleship I guess what do you feel some |
| 17691s | of the star players on your roster are |
| 17693s | we have a lot of good players first and |
| 17695s | foremost the players that stuck around |
| 17697s | since El trick like me Rife Eisen Maddox |
| 17700s | Park Bank Co do those were like the |
| 17703s | names that came from a trick and are |
| 17706s | still here and still practiced since |
| 17708s | three years now we've got so used to |
| 17710s | each other of course we have recruited a |
| 17712s | lot of other players like coffee V6 and |
| 17714s | Arvin estadia are both very good Spectra |
| 17717s | FC's and then some other hidden talent |
| 17719s | that fellow Russell really well so we |
| 17722s | got a really good team actually this |
| 17723s | year what do you feel some of the |
| 17724s | strengths of your roster overall I don't |
| 17727s | really want to tell about our strengths |
| 17729s | and so on with a little bit of a mystery |
| 17731s | we are all good players very experienced |
| 17734s | and I think this the main strength is |
| 17736s | that we know each other very well and we |
| 17738s | can communicate with each other very |
| 17740s | good do you have any Rivals any sort of |
| 17742s | history that you have with other teams |
| 17744s | either in the tournament or that you've |
| 17746s | trimmed against my biggest rival is |
| 17749s | probably nowadays they play as fight |
| 17751s | flag but playing an electric I lost to |
| 17753s | them when they're played as Locus |
| 17755s | primary and then lost an air games in |
| 17758s | the final they're a really good team at |
| 17759s | a really good pilot and I would like to |
| 17762s | beat them I hope to meet them in the |
| 17764s | second round let's see how it goes also |
| 17766s | I would like to fight other teams other |
| 17769s | really good teams like Volta and Truth |
| 17772s | honor lights the kydra I think they're |
| 17774s | really really good and I want to play |
| 17776s | against them I want to see how it is and |
| 17779s | attend the 10 against them would be very |
| 17780s | exciting for your very first match of |
| 17782s | this tournament you drew up against deep |
| 17784s | water Hooligans how do you feel about |
| 17786s | that match yeah will be a good match to |
| 17788s | prove that we are on the upper end of |
| 17790s | the teams I don't know what to expect |
| 17791s | exactly but we will try our best and |
| 17794s | hopefully beat them against the default |
| 17796s | at Dan tuskers and then White Flag |
| 17798s | hopefully we will beat them thank you so |
| 17800s | much for joining us and best of luck on |
| 17802s | grid thanks be a shout out to snorp for |
| 17805s | teaching me how to when I was on |
| 17807s | electric |
| 17809s | uh thank you moderator for another one |
| 17811s | of those excellent interviews uh this |
| 17813s | time with paper numbers so paper numbers |
| 17815s | versus till doomsday coming up in an |
| 17817s | elimination match let's take a look at |
| 17818s | the bands and see what's going on here |
| 17824s | okay paper numbers Banning out the curse |
| 17826s | The Sentinel the EOS and the Deacon |
| 17828s | whereas till doomsday going for the |
| 17830s | British Navy issue the Harvey Navy issue |
| 17832s | the ogre and the executor Navy issue CCP |
| 17835s | Castro what do you think of these bands |
| 17836s | here it really seems like till doomsday |
| 17839s | just wants to get rid of the major fret |
| 17841s | comp they're taking away two of the Navy |
| 17843s | battle Cruisers taking away the extra |
| 17844s | Navy issue and also taking away the ogre |
| 17846s | we also see paper numbers uh getting rid |
| 17850s | of the Sentinel and the curse so a lot |
| 17852s | of TDS are gone and EOS and d-CON so |
| 17854s | they feel like pretty solid bands but it |
| 17856s | seems like probably we're going to see |
| 17858s | some Shield setups here or the triple |
| 17859s | armor Battleship core and what do you bb |
| 17862s | people do you think I agree we I feel |
| 17865s | like this is leaving open some of the |
| 17867s | interesting Shield setups uh I really |
| 17868s | hope we don't see Triple battleships um |
| 17870s | I think the only one we've really seen |
| 17872s | uh winning surprisingly enough has been |
| 17874s | this maybe almost a Resurgence of uh |
| 17877s | these kingslayer setups but uh I could |
| 17880s | see like this is kind of one of those |
| 17881s | moments where when you're when you're |
| 17884s | down you're down one you're out if you |
| 17887s | lose this match this is when you pull |
| 17888s | out the weird stuff where you're like |
| 17889s | all right let's let's slam them with |
| 17891s | like a torp scorp Shield rush or |
| 17892s | something like that because that was |
| 17893s | cool and I want to see more stuff that's |
| 17895s | like that where there's like these all |
| 17896s | in slightly cheesy setups and the things |
| 17900s | that are really good against these all |
| 17901s | and cheesy setups are actually setups |
| 17903s | like the max threat setup because it's |
| 17905s | so versatile and you can just run away |
| 17907s | while blasting them uh by banding that |
| 17909s | out this opens up a lot of really |
| 17910s | interesting possibilities here well it |
| 17912s | looks like uh until doomsday bring in |
| 17914s | their Flagship Armageddon Navy issue a |
| 17916s | question of course remains is it fits |
| 17918s | with guns is it Phil Newt I'm sure we'll |
| 17920s | find darts in just a just a moment |
| 17923s | um any predictions for this uh this |
| 17925s | match here CCP Kestrel well till |
| 17927s | doomsday I think they are the team that |
| 17929s | bought the like torpedo uh Navy scorpion |
| 17932s | in the previous game right so they've |
| 17934s | already demonstrated that they are |
| 17935s | willing to just you know throw it all on |
| 17937s | the line kill someone's Flagship so I'd |
| 17940s | like to see them do well just because uh |
| 17943s | they're also a new team to the |
| 17944s | tournament but I think paper numbers |
| 17945s | just have way more experience so |
| 17948s | I think I I maybe agree with that part |
| 17950s | what do you think uh I think that it |
| 17951s | would be super cool and Mimi to |
| 17954s | sacrifice your team to take down another |
| 17956s | Flagship and then just be like yeah |
| 17957s | we're out we killed two flagships we win |
| 17959s | yeah I also feel that we kind of mean uh |
| 17961s | if we triple cast a curse them and also |
| 17963s | play the interview which kind of is |
| 17965s | sometimes a bit of recursion itself uh |
| 17968s | so we'll find there can uh uh can paper |
| 17971s | numbers overcome all the odds and then |
| 17973s | win this over from till doomsday let's |
| 17974s | head to the video and find out with |
| 17976s | mizir and Mark resurrectus |
| 17982s | hello everyone welcome back to the |
| 17984s | reader I am Miss and Whitney is a Marcus |
| 17986s | erectus and this is a Germany uh versus |
| 17990s | France like we're having paper numbers |
| 17992s | in red under till do stay in blue |
| 17996s | yeah Ms till doomsday has brought that |
| 17999s | armaged Navy issue but as we've learned |
| 18001s | from uh BlackMart pirate it is uh going |
| 18004s | to die because it is a full Newt get a |
| 18007s | Navy uh it is there's not a gun adorning |
| 18010s | its Hull one little bit paper numbers |
| 18012s | bringing double Cyclone Fleet Claymore |
| 18014s | Drake Navy a lot of heavy missiles on |
| 18017s | this on this uh on this side of the |
| 18020s | field I think we're gonna see them kite |
| 18021s | and look at that they're burning away |
| 18022s | they're absolutely gonna kite yeah but |
| 18025s | the crow did open right at the center so |
| 18028s | he's like right fine to the back line of |
| 18030s | the till doomsday team but they don't |
| 18032s | seem to care much about that they're |
| 18034s | still just going ahead like a |
| 18036s | just going for that Osprey they're |
| 18038s | already in half Shield they get it |
| 18039s | increases so it's also taking every |
| 18040s | amount of damage but he can get raps |
| 18042s | from his body in the falia yeah there |
| 18045s | are a lot of drones coming down on that |
| 18046s | Osprey right now too and they do not |
| 18048s | look very friendly they are blue they're |
| 18049s | not red drones uh that means they're |
| 18051s | they're the enemy drones |
| 18053s | um so they are gonna go for the Osprey |
| 18055s | they're gonna be the primary target |
| 18056s | which is a big one I mean if they can if |
| 18058s | they can do that in the offer the Osprey |
| 18059s | they still have a lot of DPS in this |
| 18061s | team between the Absolution both |
| 18063s | prophecy Navy's the OG Navy that's the |
| 18065s | the vexer Navy I need to see if that Vex |
| 18067s | Navy has the paper number team is like |
| 18070s | splitting DPS and oil free after your |
| 18073s | Dooms say freakish this is not good when |
| 18075s | you're like having rapid light missiles |
| 18077s | on these cruises like you want to focus |
| 18079s | and like get one of them down but now |
| 18080s | they've got like neither them down as |
| 18082s | your own their own Osprey goes down yeah |
| 18084s | they got so distracted we're trying to |
| 18086s | get rid of one of the I mean they have |
| 18087s | to they need to pick a Target they need |
| 18089s | to pick one thing to shoot and they've |
| 18090s | lost their Osprey while they were |
| 18091s | waiting uh paper numbers now going in on |
| 18094s | the vaccinated a little bit but again |
| 18095s | just splitting across four targets |
| 18097s | they're still doing damage to the Thalia |
| 18098s | they're still doing damage to the |
| 18100s | retribution they need to focus up |
| 18103s | yeah in the meantime I get their own |
| 18105s | frigates like a getting picked off by |
| 18108s | the uh doomsday team like these long |
| 18110s | range the ships they can just shoot |
| 18112s | these without getting on top of them so |
| 18114s | without that I'll spray that good keep |
| 18115s | me alive there's nothing to really |
| 18117s | protect them |
| 18119s | yeah the vexer Navy now going into they |
| 18121s | are finally getting ready I say they |
| 18123s | they're getting ready to pick something |
| 18124s | off they did just lose another ship |
| 18126s | another caracal the vaccines actually |
| 18129s | it's going low so they might actually |
| 18131s | get a kill but at this point I'm not |
| 18132s | sure if there's going to be enough for |
| 18133s | them |
| 18134s | they still have a lot of DPS left I mean |
| 18135s | they still have to clean more of the |
| 18136s | Cyclone both the Cyclone fleets the |
| 18138s | Drake and the arthrus uh and the Oni but |
| 18141s | again I mean they did just okay okay |
| 18143s | it's a little bit more even now the |
| 18145s | retribution goes down they find one of |
| 18147s | those things that they were they're |
| 18148s | shooting at the very beginning finally |
| 18149s | they put enough damage into it to kill |
| 18151s | it and the author is now taking quite a |
| 18153s | bit of damage uh that I don't know I |
| 18156s | don't I don't I don't see this one both |
| 18158s | those prophecy navies and the Absolution |
| 18160s | have a lot of hit points |
| 18162s | yeah so a red team actually doing the |
| 18164s | right thing like after a lot you went |
| 18165s | down they just Starburst is everywhere |
| 18167s | so the till doomsday team have to like |
| 18170s | burn down and go after each one of them |
| 18172s | again burn back to the next one when |
| 18174s | they kill someone it's just going to |
| 18176s | take a little bit extra time for them |
| 18177s | but to their own Adventures they have |
| 18179s | like Long Range Guns so don't need to |
| 18181s | get like right on top of anyone to |
| 18182s | actually kill them The Inquisitor goes |
| 18184s | down looks like the maggots won't be too |
| 18185s | far behind at the failure also taking |
| 18187s | damage the O and I now dipping into |
| 18190s | armor uh but again they're they're main |
| 18193s | DPS core of the Claymores or rather |
| 18195s | these Cyclone fleets and the Claymore |
| 18197s | are still untouched the Thalia does go |
| 18200s | down for till doomsday this match is |
| 18203s | really even even with so much DPS left |
| 18205s | on both sides it's really hard to say |
| 18207s | which way this is going to go yeah both |
| 18209s | teams are up to select go for that |
| 18211s | support wing of the opponent's team so |
| 18213s | both teams are having like all the heavy |
| 18215s | hit uh DPS ships remaining that's how I |
| 18218s | get a Navy's who got these long range |
| 18219s | new so it's going to be hard to for them |
| 18221s | to kite away but on the other hand he's |
| 18223s | not going to contribute much with DPS |
| 18226s | oh and the Magus goes down till doomsday |
| 18228s | now has a ship disadvantage for the |
| 18230s | first time so far they are putting DPS |
| 18234s | into the Drake Navy it looks like |
| 18235s | they're trying to get on top of him and |
| 18237s | man there's a cloud an absolute I mean |
| 18240s | I've said this a couple times a swarm of |
| 18242s | drones on that Aug or a Navy uh from |
| 18244s | till doomsday paper numbers it has not |
| 18247s | rolled over yet |
| 18249s | yeah get on Navy she was going after the |
| 18252s | right right I fight on the decline he's |
| 18254s | going for that Michael drum Drive vegan |
| 18256s | so he's going to use that to write stay |
| 18258s | your life for longer like making harder |
| 18259s | for them to actually pin him down trying |
| 18262s | to survive as long as he can like |
| 18263s | pushing out DPS |
| 18265s | yeah jalthy in the uh in the Drake Navy |
| 18268s | pin down now by the prophecy Navy and |
| 18271s | the other prophecy Navy uh he will he he |
| 18274s | is gonna go which puts us at man this is |
| 18277s | so tight when this one goes down we're |
| 18279s | looking at a points differential uh oh |
| 18282s | man it is it is Rage razer's Edge right |
| 18284s | now the OG Navy Bradford clear from till |
| 18287s | doomsday does go down and brings it at |
| 18291s | five to four right now and shipped in |
| 18292s | ship count this is so close |
| 18296s | yeah but I've seen for like finally two |
| 18298s | thumbnails so they want that Victory |
| 18300s | them don't want to make it easy for the |
| 18302s | other ones like everyone's like kayaking |
| 18304s | around doing everything they can to stay |
| 18306s | alive for as long as possible it looks |
| 18308s | like the Osprey Navy issue is the next |
| 18309s | Target but until doomsday as like uh |
| 18312s | three battle Cruisers chasing him down |
| 18314s | with these long-range lasers yeah exynos |
| 18318s | zacharath trying to answer the question |
| 18320s | can you make up for a lack of logic with |
| 18322s | speed so far the answer is yes he is |
| 18325s | repping his shield getting away from the |
| 18329s | Absolution that is right on his tail and |
| 18331s | both those prophecy navies he is going |
| 18333s | to rep up all the way to 100 Shield at |
| 18336s | the same time now we can see damage |
| 18338s | going in like trying to tackle some of |
| 18340s | these uh yes Vancouver is trying to save |
| 18342s | his friend and you know that they're |
| 18345s | going to have a hard time tracking him |
| 18346s | so he's doing his best he can to to |
| 18348s | prevent them from chasing down that |
| 18349s | Osprey Navy issue where it looks like |
| 18351s | he's trying to do the micro drum play |
| 18352s | the play and he did do it |
| 18357s | low structure |
| 18359s | yeah he did and you know you you take on |
| 18361s | a lot of damage on yourself whenever you |
| 18363s | do that because hitting those micro drum |
| 18364s | drives does Bloom your signature and he |
| 18367s | is into low structure now he is probably |
| 18368s | going to go now it's just a question of |
| 18370s | can they have enough DPS left with the |
| 18372s | two Cyclone fleets and the Claymore to |
| 18375s | kill one of these prophecy navies I |
| 18376s | don't think they do and we see the |
| 18378s | Cyclone Fleet of Captain Shinken now |
| 18381s | dipping to low struck or low Shield if |
| 18383s | this one goes down they just won't have |
| 18384s | enough DPS left to do anything left on |
| 18386s | this grid that will give it back to till |
| 18389s | doomsday and paper numbers will be |
| 18391s | eliminated from the tournament yeah |
| 18397s | like one week one a day going on |
| 18400s | actually looks like that again maybe who |
| 18402s | does have a rapid heavy beside so he |
| 18404s | does actually have a lot of DPS I've |
| 18406s | seen that that Cyclone free this year is |
| 18408s | getting wrecked pretty hard |
| 18411s | oh maybe just my screen I don't see any |
| 18413s | rapid Heavies on that or that uh that |
| 18416s | getting even but either way they do have |
| 18418s | enough plenty of DPS left to deal with |
| 18420s | Captain Shinken you can see that the uh |
| 18423s | the team from uh paper numbers now doing |
| 18425s | all in on whatever is left on grid they |
| 18428s | might I mean I I don't know if why |
| 18429s | they're putting any damage into the |
| 18431s | armaged Navy at this point maybe just to |
| 18432s | try and snag the flagship before they go |
| 18434s | down I mean it's because like he's |
| 18435s | pinned on by the kidding so he cannot uh |
| 18437s | kept on thinking he has no choice but to |
| 18440s | fight that get on everyone else is too |
| 18442s | far away that is true Captain's chicken |
| 18444s | now in uh um trying desperately to wrap |
| 18447s | back up will not have enough but you |
| 18450s | have no attention might actually get go |
| 18452s | down by the other side from free tissue |
| 18454s | and the Claymore okay putting DPS on |
| 18456s | this search purposely maybe you should |
| 18458s | like all are trying to kite away from |
| 18459s | the other ships oh man Captain Shinken |
| 18462s | desperately trying to wrap himself back |
| 18464s | up it is not gonna be enough he is going |
| 18466s | to go down now Nova itinen in the |
| 18469s | prophecy Navy dipping very a very |
| 18472s | slightly into structure taking still |
| 18473s | some damage from the Cyclone Fleet and |
| 18476s | the Claymore left yeah he's going for |
| 18477s | the microphone like he's going to do the |
| 18479s | same play like to stay alively there's a |
| 18481s | lot of views of these vegans is matched |
| 18483s | an absolutely love it these people have |
| 18485s | been showing some great play with their |
| 18487s | Legions not every time it's been worth |
| 18488s | it but sometimes some of these attempts |
| 18491s | that have done have really paid off oh |
| 18493s | the crow going in to try and snag him |
| 18495s | right before he can hit the beacon is |
| 18496s | the crow gonna get there in time oh well |
| 18498s | maybe the crew were just going by to hit |
| 18500s | him with the rockets on his way by |
| 18501s | that's really funny uh yeah I the you |
| 18504s | know even if they listen even if they |
| 18506s | are able to keep the um that prophecy |
| 18509s | Naval or even if they were able to kill |
| 18511s | that prophecy Navy rather excuse me Rife |
| 18513s | Eisen now is going to be able or is |
| 18515s | going to start dropping in the Claymore |
| 18517s | uh and you're not gonna kill too much |
| 18519s | with just a crow and a cycle and Fleet |
| 18521s | left |
| 18522s | yeah it looks like the Ed remaining uh |
| 18524s | people on the Doomsday team have like |
| 18526s | pushed off the other battle Cruises Only |
| 18528s | The Crow remaining trying to finish off |
| 18530s | that property name issue although the |
| 18531s | remaining Cyclone free dishu is going in |
| 18533s | for the kill you want to like restore at |
| 18536s | least a bit of a honors he's trying to |
| 18538s | get them last kill before he's going to |
| 18541s | get finished off himself yeah we're just |
| 18543s | under two minutes here and this one is |
| 18545s | all but finished Maddox over there in |
| 18548s | the Cyclone Fleet the last remaining DPS |
| 18549s | member of his team uh that I mean I said |
| 18552s | that of course the crow does have |
| 18554s | rockets and that that is DPS that ain't |
| 18556s | nothing uh but really well played here |
| 18559s | by the team from till doomsday uh going |
| 18561s | into this match I don't know I didn't I |
| 18563s | didn't quite see who the odds the |
| 18566s | betting favorite was but I would argue I |
| 18568s | would say most people probably thought |
| 18569s | the paper numbers uh was the one to beat |
| 18572s | here and indeed they were the ones beat |
| 18574s | they got beat |
| 18580s | two teams have been doing a stellar job |
| 18582s | I'm really looking forward to seeing |
| 18584s | paper numbers again next year |
| 18585s | unfortunately they're going to get |
| 18586s | knocked out this year but these are like |
| 18589s | solid guys like uh really been playing |
| 18592s | well and I'm also looking forward to |
| 18593s | seeing the French guys of uh till |
| 18595s | Tuesday see how they're doing I know |
| 18597s | some of the guys on teams that they have |
| 18599s | been absolutely good people in the game |
| 18601s | and uh |
| 18602s | uh like I I love my friends uh friends |
| 18605s | here so |
| 18606s | let's take some ass yeah these are I |
| 18608s | mean this was clearly a match by two |
| 18610s | teams that were both very skilled Pilots |
| 18612s | they both had really well made comps |
| 18614s | they both came in with a plan they both |
| 18616s | executed well just one had a slight |
| 18618s | advantage over the other that is time |
| 18621s | paper numbers will be going home the |
| 18623s | team from tilt doomsday will advance and |
| 18626s | they will get the uh the pleasure of |
| 18629s | playing whoever wins the next match |
| 18630s | between snuffed out and temples calcif |
| 18632s | from us here we'll head back to the desk |
| 18634s | for some analysis |
| 18659s | [Music] |
| 18662s | [Applause] |
| 18668s | [Music] |
| 18675s | come on upstairs |
| 18682s | forever |
| 18684s | [Applause] |
| 18685s | [Music] |
| 18688s | [Applause] |
| 18692s | [Music] |
| 18698s | guys stop being casual they're really |
| 18701s | bad we should not lose anybody to this |
| 18703s | warp off take the Sleep warp everybody |
| 18705s | warp off this is a really really bad |
| 18707s | execution I'm very disappointed |
| 18713s | rain are you in the armor Vagabond or |
| 18715s | something no um I've got axle ISP |
| 18720s | and polarized guns |
| 18722s | [Laughter] |
| 18729s | looks like someone left the paper out in |
| 18731s | the rain because it was just torn apart |
| 18732s | by till doomsday who will advance |
| 18734s | forward uh continuing their run in the |
| 18737s | last tournament 19 but paper numbers no |
| 18739s | more they are gone they are out of the |
| 18741s | tournament |
| 18742s | um in it was a relatively close match uh |
| 18744s | but certainly interesting ship choices |
| 18746s | uh on that side there Blackboard Pirates |
| 18749s | uh the Nighthawk wasn't banned |
| 18751s | the Scimitar wasn't banned |
| 18754s | there was lots of other ships in the |
| 18756s | entirety of new Eden that weren't banned |
| 18758s | um and yet we saw police icon instead of |
| 18761s | the night talk we saw an osprey instead |
| 18762s | of a cemetery and then there was just a |
| 18764s | crew |
| 18765s | um talk to me |
| 18766s | yeah there there were quite a lot of |
| 18768s | ships were not banned in fact the |
| 18769s | majority of ships in Eve online were |
| 18771s | available to be picked and uh we did see |
| 18774s | a heavy missile kite obviously there's |
| 18775s | some rapid lights on some of the ships |
| 18777s | that generally you won't see Heavy |
| 18778s | missiles on but uh heavy missile kite |
| 18780s | has traditionally been done with |
| 18783s | Nighthawks which do an actually insane |
| 18786s | amount of damage even with heavy |
| 18787s | missiles um generally you think you know |
| 18789s | hams are the big missile damage thing |
| 18791s | but Nighthawks just do stupid DPS |
| 18793s | anyways and uh you will see things like |
| 18795s | Nighthawks and navy Drakes which we did |
| 18797s | see a single Navy Drake and we saw two |
| 18799s | Fleet Cyclones |
| 18800s | um and just because of the way those |
| 18802s | ship bonuses are set up you usually want |
| 18804s | to so instead of doing like a claymore |
| 18806s | two Fleet Cyclones and a Navy Drake |
| 18808s | you'd want to do like a Nighthawk two |
| 18810s | Navy Drakes and a fleet Cyclone if you |
| 18812s | just wanted to like keep the comp |
| 18813s | exactly as is you could have swapped |
| 18815s | better ships into it and it's kind of |
| 18817s | unfortunate |
| 18818s | um |
| 18820s | in Osprey |
| 18822s | it cannot keep itself alive and the |
| 18825s | reason why scimitars are so good is you |
| 18827s | can fit an xlasb on them and go really |
| 18830s | fast they have a fantastic resist |
| 18831s | profile and they can do |
| 18835s | the ability to fly really really fast |
| 18837s | sorry I just heard myself in my mic and |
| 18839s | I was like oh God that's what I said |
| 18841s | um so the Osprey you know if you're |
| 18843s | trying to do a kite setup Ospreys are |
| 18844s | not good they are fast but they cannot |
| 18846s | keep themselves alive whatsoever and we |
| 18847s | saw it happen the park Bank flew really |
| 18849s | well |
| 18850s | but was slowly whittled down and there's |
| 18852s | no way to uh save yourself so |
| 18854s | if you're gonna do missile kite you know |
| 18856s | copy what people have done in the past |
| 18858s | like there's a reason why those teams |
| 18859s | are flown the way they are yeah I feel |
| 18861s | like um there's a lot of good piloting |
| 18863s | on both sides uh special to uh exynos in |
| 18867s | the Navy Osprey on paper number side not |
| 18871s | only did he get shot to nearly die |
| 18872s | managed to you know bail away and get |
| 18875s | himself to safety reload his xlasb and |
| 18878s | then come back in again and when he gets |
| 18880s | shot for the second time he get made his |
| 18881s | way to an mjd Beacon and jumped away to |
| 18883s | safety again extending uh his run in |
| 18886s | that particular match a lot longer just |
| 18888s | through piloting you know being aware of |
| 18890s | where he was being you know where you |
| 18892s | know where to pull away how when to |
| 18893s | reload things like that that's that's |
| 18895s | good piloting |
| 18896s | um but again like we saw that Crow CCP |
| 18899s | Castro it's a unusual trip to see in the |
| 18901s | Lions tournament match why would you |
| 18902s | bring a crow is there anything you would |
| 18903s | bring instead yeah so personally I would |
| 18906s | probably bring a raptor over a crow most |
| 18908s | of the time because it's worth the same |
| 18909s | points and the Raptor gets the shield |
| 18912s | resistance bonus so it's easier to keep |
| 18913s | alive and then the Raptor also since |
| 18916s | it's the combat Interceptor sort of |
| 18917s | variant it also gets the bonus to |
| 18919s | overheating micro warp drives so you can |
| 18921s | actually go a lot faster than the crew 2 |
| 18923s | and then also even though you're not |
| 18925s | really bringing it for damage the Raptor |
| 18927s | also just has more damage if you just |
| 18929s | fit a few Neutron blasters on it and |
| 18931s | it's also I think it's a bit easier for |
| 18933s | like doing things like killing drones |
| 18935s | that are on your logic or something like |
| 18936s | that if you have to have to do that so |
| 18938s | I'm not sure why the crow was picked |
| 18940s | over the over the Raptor in this case oh |
| 18942s | sorry the Raptors wasn't picked over the |
| 18944s | crow yeah it's certainly an interesting |
| 18946s | call but uh paper numbers will have |
| 18947s | plenty of time to think about it as as |
| 18949s | mentioned uh we said goodbye to them in |
| 18951s | that elimination match uh let's look |
| 18953s | forward to our next elimination match |
| 18955s | which is snuffed out versus template |
| 18957s | calcif I'm actually looking forward to |
| 18959s | for a while uh so let's take a look at |
| 18960s | the Bands |
| 18962s | snuffed out using the van the Scimitar |
| 18965s | the balgar and the Nighthawk and the |
| 18966s | executive Navy issue templates going for |
| 18968s | Guardian a nearest Blackbird and also |
| 18970s | exactly an AV issue giving us a trickle |
| 18972s | band of Armageddon Navy issue and augura |
| 18975s | Blackbird pirate and Ethan stand out |
| 18977s | here I mean you know we're seeing this |
| 18978s | constant uh executor Navy issue in these |
| 18980s | Blackbird bands I think at this point |
| 18982s | they're probably the two most banned |
| 18984s | ships so we've talked about it quite a |
| 18986s | bit um seeing these this balgorn |
| 18988s | Armageddon Navy Band though from snuffed |
| 18991s | out that's actually super interesting |
| 18992s | because that really truly signals that |
| 18994s | you do not want to be going up against |
| 18997s | the really heavy bursty newts here uh |
| 19001s | both of these ships have bonuses to |
| 19002s | Newts in various ways both of them can |
| 19005s | kind of do this hybrid energy |
| 19006s | neutralizer damage thing or you can |
| 19009s | choose to fit them with a full rack of |
| 19010s | newts which I guess now we've seen that |
| 19012s | work once out of three times so it's |
| 19014s | still not great but hey it's a cool idea |
| 19016s | so you kind of want to start thinking |
| 19018s | about like what is snuffed worried about |
| 19020s | fighting that in energy neutralizers |
| 19024s | will be really effective against them |
| 19026s | with and generally we'll see things like |
| 19028s | a lot of laser boats maybe they're |
| 19030s | playing slow lodging maybe we'll see the |
| 19031s | Basilisk the ship not the pilot in this |
| 19034s | one uh so it's definitely interesting |
| 19036s | snuffed Banning out of algor And Gettin |
| 19039s | really does signal something |
| 19041s | um |
| 19043s | it is signaling that there will be ships |
| 19045s | on field could you take a guess I have |
| 19047s | many ships I would say somewhere between |
| 19050s | one to ten excellent but not 11. okay |
| 19052s | right excellent good to know good to |
| 19054s | know actually no that's that's wrong |
| 19056s | math there could be up to 20. there's |
| 19058s | two different types so somewhere between |
| 19059s | two to 20 ships will be on field okay to |
| 19062s | twenty one of them will be a flagship |
| 19064s | stuff bringing their Flagship Armageddon |
| 19066s | Navy issue so dodging that ban in order |
| 19068s | to bring it I was just thinking there |
| 19070s | are a couple other ships they could |
| 19071s | bring like a regular Garden like a curse |
| 19073s | almost no e-war band here other than |
| 19075s | that blackbirds they ended the gettin |
| 19077s | Navy and then they took their Flagship |
| 19078s | get Navy so they're doing some five head |
| 19080s | plays here yep CCP Castro what do you |
| 19082s | think might be good to happen yeah I |
| 19084s | think the the fact that we don't see |
| 19086s | like crucifier arbitrator cursed Pilgrim |
| 19088s | bands there's a lot of TDS left open |
| 19091s | so I think that kind of means that like |
| 19096s | a lot of control stuff is open but |
| 19098s | because now for bringing the Navy |
| 19100s | Armageddon I think they're probably |
| 19102s | gonna bring like the triple armor core |
| 19104s | or just like some variation of like uh |
| 19108s | the major fret comp just without the |
| 19110s | Navy extra yeah |
| 19112s | actually like a Le Shack Navy getting |
| 19115s | Flags setup because Le Shacks are one of |
| 19117s | the ones that newts are like absolutely |
| 19119s | fantastic about shutting down so that's |
| 19122s | kind of thinking about it a little more |
| 19124s | here since we're going full five head |
| 19125s | Banning our own Flagship and then |
| 19127s | picking the flagship to go around the |
| 19128s | band that's what I would expect like |
| 19130s | some kind of armor core yeah I was just |
| 19132s | wondering briefly what's the template |
| 19133s | Flagship is probably going to be a bar |
| 19135s | gas they they feel like a bar gas team |
| 19138s | um uh yeah sure enough it is the Bargas |
| 19139s | they do have it available |
| 19141s | um so I was just curious because if that |
| 19143s | if templates had uh Armageddon Aviation |
| 19145s | Flagship as well that would have been an |
| 19147s | even more success tactic |
| 19151s | at that point but no no it is the bar |
| 19153s | guest so we're back to five heads which |
| 19155s | is a an acceptable number of heads in |
| 19157s | this instance uh all right let's find |
| 19159s | out just over any Heads This comp does |
| 19161s | have as we head over to our casters Alec |
| 19163s | and Chad |
| 19168s | welcome to the arena I am Chad flame I |
| 19171s | think Alec is having some technical |
| 19172s | difficulties currently but we are |
| 19174s | looking at a template versus snuffed |
| 19176s | matchup |
| 19179s | Malik is here oh you're here doesn't |
| 19181s | show you in the cans it's interesting |
| 19184s | there you are |
| 19185s | do you want to go through the snuffed uh |
| 19187s | lineup for us absolutely snuffed has a |
| 19190s | barcast Armageddon Navy EOS Magus |
| 19193s | pontifex are there Max links curse |
| 19195s | Sentinel Max nudes carries for damps and |
| 19198s | double frigates for Logistics what do we |
| 19201s | have on the template side we are looking |
| 19203s | at Ayla Sheck Vindicator in the top and |
| 19205s | followed by a triple arbitrator |
| 19208s | something we have not seen yet gonna be |
| 19210s | a lot of weapon disruptors coming out of |
| 19211s | temples followed by double links and |
| 19214s | double T2 fragrant logic and a hyena |
| 19216s | yeah both teams going all in on control |
| 19219s | here this is going to be a very tactical |
| 19222s | match not a lot of damage coming out of |
| 19224s | these teams it's all going to be about |
| 19226s | positioning and properly getting their |
| 19228s | control engine going as we see missile |
| 19231s | guidance disruptors going out onto the |
| 19233s | bar guest and again so they did roll the |
| 19235s | dice correctly they do have missile |
| 19236s | guidance disruption to deal with the |
| 19238s | damage coming from snuff stuffs |
| 19240s | meanwhile getting those dams out onto |
| 19242s | the arbitrators and some turret |
| 19245s | disruption onto the Le Shack Vindicator |
| 19247s | so neither of these teams going to be |
| 19249s | able to fully apply their damage drones |
| 19251s | going to be doing a lot of work for both |
| 19252s | teams here as the arbitrator of Akbar is |
| 19256s | under Fire here he's holding well though |
| 19259s | and we also see temples now shooting the |
| 19261s | Navitas on the snuffed side uh Vargas |
| 19264s | does webs on it uh as we see right now |
| 19266s | that might be something that gets the |
| 19268s | match started |
| 19270s | potentially here although I think if |
| 19272s | you're templates you really want to |
| 19273s | destabilize Logistics frigate core here |
| 19275s | their low amount of damage even against |
| 19278s | these higher end targets they're not |
| 19280s | going to be able to do a ton you can see |
| 19282s | them trying to hit this broadcast now |
| 19284s | they're struggling to even get through |
| 19285s | the shields so these Logistics frigates |
| 19288s | are definitely going to be able to keep |
| 19290s | that barg alive for longer than you |
| 19292s | might expect unless it has almost no |
| 19294s | armor tank on it it's losing massive |
| 19296s | chunks |
| 19297s | Massachusetts |
| 19302s | do you do a fair amount of damage that |
| 19304s | you know longer little Shucks on grid on |
| 19306s | a Target it will spool up to a Max of |
| 19308s | around 2 500 damage and Vindicator |
| 19311s | damage is not something to look past but |
| 19313s | you're seeing it looks like the Vargas |
| 19315s | is sitting around the same amount of |
| 19316s | armor as it was before but the Navitas |
| 19318s | being switched to the primary looks like |
| 19320s | that is going to go down as well |
| 19322s | oh the gossip team is making them play a |
| 19325s | terrible game here as the Navitas is |
| 19327s | still under Fire while they're shooting |
| 19329s | the bark neg negratas in The Inquisitor |
| 19332s | has to make a terrible Choice does he |
| 19333s | keep his logic partner alive does he try |
| 19335s | to rip that bar guest it seems like he's |
| 19337s | trying to keep the Navitas up and he's |
| 19339s | doing an okay job of it but that leaves |
| 19341s | the bar cast on its own and also puts |
| 19344s | him in danger as he's got his shield |
| 19346s | stripped in just one shot damage from |
| 19349s | Temple's calcif coming out all over the |
| 19350s | place here but I think there's a method |
| 19352s | to their Madness |
| 19354s | and we also see some new pressure coming |
| 19356s | across from the temples teams what looks |
| 19358s | to be lecheck onto The Inquisitor making |
| 19360s | his reps you know running not at full |
| 19362s | capacity as well and it looks like |
| 19364s | temples is spreading their damage around |
| 19366s | trying to get reps to go everywhere from |
| 19368s | the snuff team while putting damage |
| 19370s | still into the bar guest using that |
| 19372s | Vindicator but it looks like stuff now |
| 19373s | trying to put a little bit of damage on |
| 19375s | that tire which is also hard tackled |
| 19377s | yeah they had trouble breaking last |
| 19379s | Spartans The Shack here the shack quite |
| 19380s | beefy oh the the snuff Logistics frigate |
| 19383s | goes down that is their Navitas The |
| 19386s | Inquisitor now all on his own meanwhile |
| 19387s | the barcast this tank has failed |
| 19389s | completely the Ansel reps if he had them |
| 19391s | the charges are gone he's now bleeding |
| 19394s | structure half structure this could be |
| 19396s | the bark s dropping for Minton that |
| 19398s | would be a definitive blow for temples |
| 19400s | calcif they lose both their Logistics |
| 19402s | and the broadcast snuffed has been |
| 19405s | snuffed out |
| 19406s | and stuff hasn't taken a single template |
| 19408s | shut down let alone even caused a threat |
| 19410s | to one of the ships on the Templars team |
| 19412s | looks like temples is starting to run |
| 19414s | away with this match as they now have |
| 19415s | Vindicator webs on the EOS of the |
| 19417s | snuffed out team and switching all of |
| 19418s | their damage over to that |
| 19420s | oh this this match is going to snowball |
| 19422s | quite quickly now without the logistics |
| 19425s | from snuff to keep themselves up even |
| 19427s | the uh The lecheck Vindicator even if |
| 19430s | they properly spread out the tracking |
| 19432s | disruptors they're still going to apply |
| 19433s | under this EOS it's only a matter of |
| 19435s | time the carius has also been caught |
| 19437s | there was a web on him briefly he's |
| 19438s | broken free but is still taking a |
| 19441s | considerable amount of damage once that |
| 19443s | carries drops they're not going to have |
| 19445s | the damps to even attempt to control |
| 19446s | this house of Team meanwhile the EOS |
| 19449s | holding in half armor he's going to try |
| 19450s | to pull that back with his local tank |
| 19452s | but it's not going to be enough once |
| 19455s | that LE Shack gets pulled up you're |
| 19456s | going to see big slices coming out of |
| 19458s | this EOS |
| 19459s | exactly and with that Bargas going down |
| 19462s | those three arbitrators now able to put |
| 19463s | as much weapon disruption on that get a |
| 19466s | Navy as possible the carry is going down |
| 19467s | but maybe free up an arbitrator or two |
| 19469s | because the damps are still on them but |
| 19471s | it looks like the temples team has |
| 19473s | looked to taking control in the e-war |
| 19475s | sector of this match |
| 19477s | yeah we're seeing the aces of the |
| 19479s | caldari militia show their stuff here a |
| 19481s | very well thought out comp expertly |
| 19483s | applied they were up against a very |
| 19485s | tough snuffed out comp but they stuck to |
| 19487s | their game plan they forced the snuff |
| 19489s | Pilots to make some very tough calls |
| 19491s | very quickly and try to really sow the |
| 19494s | seeds of confusion which they could take |
| 19496s | advantage of as the EOS drops along with |
| 19498s | enough chances of getting any kills in |
| 19500s | this match |
| 19502s | yeah you made a good point there uh |
| 19504s | causing those logic picks to spread the |
| 19506s | thin amount of reps that they actually |
| 19507s | have across the entire snuff team while |
| 19510s | forcing the Bargas to use that XL or the |
| 19513s | ASB on it to run out of charges and it's |
| 19517s | armor repairs once you run out of those |
| 19519s | day night pastes and that repair your |
| 19520s | rep amount goes down significantly which |
| 19523s | everything just managed to drop on the |
| 19525s | stuff team at the same time it felt like |
| 19527s | early in that match due to split damage |
| 19528s | by calcif yeah it's actually quite |
| 19530s | brilliant they put just enough damage |
| 19532s | into him to force him to run that rapper |
| 19534s | and then put the remainder of the damage |
| 19537s | into the frigate which forced the |
| 19538s | frigates to pair off with each other and |
| 19540s | then once it ran out of charges they |
| 19542s | doubled down on it and broke right |
| 19544s | through that tank the carries meanwhile |
| 19546s | is pulled range he's safe you can't say |
| 19548s | the same for duck slayer's curse as it |
| 19551s | goes down there's going to be Goose for |
| 19553s | dinner tonight is that curse just got |
| 19555s | barbecued |
| 19557s | no the good work by that hyena and |
| 19559s | Vindicator pilot coordinating those webs |
| 19562s | to catch whatever Target they wanted |
| 19563s | using the hyena to get the webs on a |
| 19565s | Target and allow The Vindicator to get |
| 19566s | in on whatever Target it shows and then |
| 19568s | lock it down doing what vindicators do |
| 19570s | about do best followed by a lecheck |
| 19572s | following up coming in and doing what |
| 19574s | it's supposed to do by supplying those |
| 19576s | newts and spool damage on the stuff team |
| 19578s | really working together and as a unit |
| 19580s | the temples team has shown this match |
| 19582s | yep and we still have a little over |
| 19584s | three minutes 30 seconds in this match |
| 19586s | plenty of spool time for nuke Michael's |
| 19589s | Armageddon Navy which is a flagship |
| 19591s | so this I mean it snuffs Flagship as |
| 19594s | well they are going to have a pretty |
| 19596s | penny invested into this ship it is |
| 19598s | absolutely has plenty of time to die in |
| 19600s | this match it's running out of teammates |
| 19602s | to even help it soak bullets at this |
| 19605s | point and he just saw a massive chunk |
| 19608s | get pulled out of it down about one |
| 19609s | third of its armor in one shot |
| 19611s | it's attempting to hang on but it is |
| 19614s | absolutely struggling under the weight |
| 19615s | of that fully spooled girthy attack bar |
| 19618s | from temples calcif |
| 19619s | and it's only going to continue to grow |
| 19621s | as that spool goes up from that little |
| 19623s | Shrek and Vindicator is going to be |
| 19625s | overheating its guns really trying to |
| 19626s | make sure that they get this Flagship |
| 19628s | kill this is on the live service so all |
| 19630s | loot will be going to templates as long |
| 19632s | as they can get the loot into their |
| 19633s | cargo holds by the end of this match |
| 19635s | yeah well just under two minutes three |
| 19637s | minutes now excuse me they have plenty |
| 19638s | of time to go pick that wreck up while |
| 19640s | they close this match out just the |
| 19642s | Sentinel and pontifex remaining The |
| 19645s | Sentinel is uh he's doing his best to |
| 19647s | live to win here could be going for a |
| 19649s | boundary violation perhaps as he flies |
| 19651s | over to one of the micro jump beacons as |
| 19653s | a cloud of drones catches up to him |
| 19655s | taking him into deep Shields he seems to |
| 19657s | have slowed down possibly uh not going |
| 19660s | to the battery violation record as the |
| 19662s | drones are pulled off of him to refocus |
| 19664s | onto this Pawn effects The Sentinel May |
| 19667s | extend the length of this match slightly |
| 19669s | as he is very far away from the rest of |
| 19671s | the Temple's calcif team and it'll take |
| 19673s | them a while to chase him down after |
| 19675s | this pontifex drops which should be |
| 19677s | shortly |
| 19678s | you ever seeing the Sentinel just |
| 19680s | sitting on that mjd Beacon uh probably |
| 19682s | whatever plan the Sentinel wants to have |
| 19684s | will have be able to run away uh extend |
| 19686s | the match time jump out of the arena and |
| 19688s | go for a boundary record it's on Sunday |
| 19690s | can do whatever it desires to do even |
| 19692s | though the match is over and whatever it |
| 19694s | does is only for Glory for itself at |
| 19697s | this point |
| 19698s | this is an extremely interesting match |
| 19700s | so many logistic ships banned at the |
| 19702s | outset we had the aniros guardian auger |
| 19705s | and the Scimitar all banned out at the |
| 19708s | start of this match and you saw a snuff |
| 19710s | getting a little creative there with the |
| 19711s | tech one frigates unfortunately that |
| 19713s | creativity was not enough to out Theory |
| 19716s | craft the devil is gaussif which just |
| 19719s | went all in on control here |
| 19721s | uh what do you would you say with the |
| 19723s | advantage be of doing a terrorist |
| 19725s | disruption ships Over The Damp ships |
| 19728s | um this is where it gets interesting The |
| 19730s | Damp ships you can control the range of |
| 19732s | the match or the lock speed of other |
| 19733s | ships as much as you want but if ships |
| 19735s | can come closer or farther away those |
| 19737s | dams lose Effectiveness in the match |
| 19739s | versus turret disrupting you can get |
| 19742s | range and tracking screwed over uh |
| 19744s | multiple different ways but with that |
| 19746s | the match has ended and we will be |
| 19747s | sending it back to the dusk |
| 19765s | [Music] |
| 19769s | thank you |
| 19774s | [Music] |
| 19794s | okay you guys are looking at the planet |
| 19799s | nothing back there for you and I see |
| 19802s | full control |
| 19805s | to help |
| 19807s | where are you guys something went angry |
| 19811s | dude they weren't angry before kill him |
| 19813s | which one is |
| 19817s | owned by Reds not like this kill the |
| 19820s | rats |
| 19822s | relax |
| 19824s | I'm gonna die dude I was I was yellow to |
| 19827s | these it's dead all right |
| 19830s | they were white a second ago and then |
| 19833s | they just got all Angry |
| 19838s | with an utterly dominant performance |
| 19841s | over snuffed out not a single one of |
| 19843s | their ships uh less than 100 armor |
| 19845s | towards the end of that match despite |
| 19847s | snuffed out Fielding a their Flagship |
| 19849s | Armageddon in that particular comp uh |
| 19852s | the kill mail available now just having |
| 19854s | a quick peek at that approximately 16 |
| 19857s | billionisk in that Armageddon Navy issue |
| 19859s | flown by Pilot Michael most of it uh |
| 19862s | looks like it is in a 11 Bill uh damage |
| 19865s | control unit so I mean obviously economy |
| 19867s | type for everyone clearly hitting the |
| 19869s | snuffed out wallet as well as does seem |
| 19871s | like a kind of a less expensive Flagship |
| 19873s | than maybe we would expect it from an |
| 19876s | alliances as wealthy and Tranquility as |
| 19878s | snuffed out we're going back to this by |
| 19880s | moderator moderated your thoughts on |
| 19882s | that match yeah it felt like |
| 19885s | um snuff basically |
| 19887s | got hard countered in the draft it felt |
| 19891s | like uh snuff |
| 19892s | ended up Banning |
| 19894s | everything that would be |
| 19898s | bad for them to basically want to face |
| 19903s | uh except that in the very end they got |
| 19906s | hit by illuschak and |
| 19908s | three arbitrators which I was talking to |
| 19911s | Mystikal might earlier about and it's |
| 19914s | like hey I wonder why they're doing that |
| 19915s | and it's because well if you have two |
| 19918s | battleships worth of damage and you have |
| 19920s | all the guidance and missile disruption |
| 19924s | um |
| 19925s | turns out you're just not going to apply |
| 19926s | any damage if you're going to have |
| 19928s | attack bar of zero much like the time |
| 19932s | that nuke Michael burnt out his guns |
| 19934s | which is why they ended up in the glinte |
| 19935s | gamble in the first place |
| 19937s | yeah a bit of a bit of a rough end to |
| 19939s | the tournament for them I I was a little |
| 19941s | bit puzzled when that uh templates uh |
| 19944s | comp took the field when I saw those |
| 19946s | three arbitrators of course an alliance |
| 19948s | tournament these days we have a rule we |
| 19950s | call Point inflation if a ship is X |
| 19952s | number of points and you bring two of |
| 19954s | them then each one costs one extra point |
| 19956s | so let's just say it's an arbitrator and |
| 19958s | it's worth six points |
| 19960s | um if you brought two of them it's not |
| 19961s | going to be 12 it's going to be 14 and |
| 19963s | if you brought three it's not going to |
| 19965s | be 18 it's going to be 24 points for |
| 19967s | those three arbitrators that's six extra |
| 19970s | points that's an entire extra arbitrator |
| 19971s | of just points it's gone poof in |
| 19973s | inflation mystical mate that seems like |
| 19975s | a strange one three of the same ship |
| 19977s | here yes uh we were trying to reason out |
| 19980s | why they decided that three arbitrators |
| 19982s | was their best choice and I theorized |
| 19985s | that perhaps much like we've seen with |
| 19987s | the vexers and the molars in this |
| 19988s | tournament where you have your high |
| 19990s | slots full of newts they may have also |
| 19992s | been using them as a means of screening |
| 19994s | off any ships that they don't want |
| 19996s | getting on top of their vindicate data |
| 19998s | and their Le Shack so you could have you |
| 20001s | know a scram then your TDS and GDs a |
| 20004s | bunch of newts yay B whatever else |
| 20006s | probably still not the best idea to be |
| 20008s | screening with your evil ships but |
| 20010s | that's one theory behind it the other |
| 20013s | one might just be that they didn't think |
| 20014s | of replacing any other ships with the |
| 20017s | additional points that they would have |
| 20018s | gained by swapping one for a sentinel |
| 20020s | um it may not have allowed them to |
| 20021s | actually upgrade anything of importance |
| 20024s | and they decided that having three |
| 20026s | arbitrators was easier |
| 20028s | yeah I mean it would have been a bit of |
| 20029s | a Cinderella Story to see uh snuffed out |
| 20031s | go deep into this tournament and maybe |
| 20033s | even get uh prize ships if they'd won |
| 20035s | this match they would have done so they |
| 20037s | came through the feeders they went all |
| 20039s | the way to the galenti Gambit which they |
| 20041s | won right at the very end so I mean |
| 20043s | definitely some talented pilots in that |
| 20045s | team and of course throughout the entire |
| 20046s | uh snuffder Alliance uh certainly one of |
| 20049s | the fastest alliances in new Eden in |
| 20051s | terms of lighting signals and getting |
| 20053s | those faxes in on top of you uh you know |
| 20055s | really skilled uh pilots on TQ we look |
| 20057s | forward to seeing them in other |
| 20058s | tournaments uh they've got many things |
| 20060s | to deliver |
| 20061s | um we have I believe two more matches |
| 20063s | today again both elimination matches and |
| 20066s | let's look at our next one which is |
| 20067s | going to be boundary experts versus |
| 20069s | Brave Collective |
| 20072s | so boundary experts going for the |
| 20074s | Scimitar ban the balgorn band The |
| 20076s | Nighthawk band and the executive Navy |
| 20078s | issue ban meanwhile Brave Collective |
| 20079s | choosing guardian or neros Blackbird and |
| 20083s | also executor Navy this gives his |
| 20085s | Armageddon Navy issue an augur as our |
| 20087s | trickle bands moderator what are your |
| 20089s | thoughts here |
| 20091s | so we've seen uh boundary experts be you |
| 20094s | know part of the team that actually kind |
| 20097s | of originated some of the Nighthawk Rush |
| 20100s | um them bending it out now and them |
| 20103s | trying to hit at kind of The Shield rush |
| 20105s | but also |
| 20107s | um some of the The Heavy Armor comps |
| 20109s | Banning out Armageddon Navy and palghorn |
| 20111s | says we really really are going to want |
| 20113s | to run a cop that does not want to deal |
| 20116s | with any sort of newts and banning out |
| 20118s | the Scimitar says I really don't want to |
| 20121s | get kited by some sort of a shield set |
| 20123s | up there as well Brave going and saying |
| 20126s | hey uh we don't want to see |
| 20129s | um you know heavy armor with three |
| 20131s | targeted bands there Blackbird just very |
| 20134s | common economical option for jams and |
| 20137s | exec Navy being so under pointed with it |
| 20140s | being a galante tournament uh both teams |
| 20143s | going for that band makes a lot of sense |
| 20144s | it's just very generically good as a |
| 20147s | shield or an armor Cruiser for six |
| 20149s | points of Pop |
| 20151s | uh mystical my any any further thoughts |
| 20153s | on these bands we've seen a couple of |
| 20155s | battleground bands start to trickle in |
| 20156s | throughout the day becoming more of a |
| 20158s | popular one yeah sorry I was partially |
| 20161s | stun locked by The bakla backslack Chew |
| 20163s | name which is quite quite a stunning |
| 20165s | name |
| 20166s | um I I think it's interesting to see the |
| 20168s | rise of the balgum ban because I don't |
| 20170s | think we've really seen the rise of the |
| 20171s | balgorn doing well in the tournament so |
| 20173s | far I think that it may have been in |
| 20176s | some comps that one but I don't think |
| 20178s | it's the reason that those comps won so |
| 20180s | I'm not quite sure why all of these |
| 20182s | teams are terrified of the balgorn |
| 20184s | but um you know the exact Navy one |
| 20187s | definitely makes sense considering that |
| 20189s | it's a very point if we have different |
| 20192s | bands all of a sudden I'm wondering if |
| 20193s | perhaps the there was an error in that |
| 20195s | last graph so these bands very different |
| 20198s | from what we learn first ones were |
| 20200s | indeed wrong so uh take everything you |
| 20202s | just heard from us and then shake it out |
| 20203s | of your head well not everything the |
| 20205s | balgorn's still there yeah well what I'm |
| 20207s | going to do is I'm going to rewind |
| 20209s | okay so burn Direct Express Banning the |
| 20211s | curse the Deacon the balgorn the |
| 20213s | Armageddon Navy issue and brave |
| 20215s | Collective Banning the slept near the |
| 20217s | Nighthawk the executive issue and the |
| 20218s | Blackbird |
| 20219s | moderator what do you think about these |
| 20221s | bands sure um it feels like I've got a |
| 20224s | sense of deja vu here but Brave |
| 20225s | Collective saying hey we don't want to |
| 20227s | get Shield rushed |
| 20228s | um they don't want to deal with the |
| 20230s | shield version or the armor version of |
| 20231s | the exact Navy just talked about it uh |
| 20234s | Blackbird again good jamming ship uh |
| 20236s | boundary experts saying um we don't want |
| 20238s | to deal with um frig lodgy because the |
| 20241s | Deacon is generally preferred over the |
| 20244s | Thalia to the better of the two options |
| 20246s | curse generic very powerful ship again |
| 20249s | like three very targeted neutralizing |
| 20252s | ships uh right there says they want to |
| 20254s | bring some sort of comp that does not |
| 20256s | want to deal with Newt something that uh |
| 20259s | probably a little bit more kitey that |
| 20261s | could get their hardener shut off or |
| 20262s | their microarp drive shut off and what |
| 20265s | signals that to me |
| 20267s | any further thoughts I mean we see a |
| 20269s | Battleground band we've not seen very |
| 20271s | much of of the background having success |
| 20273s | what do you think there yeah so I think |
| 20275s | it's interesting that we've seen a rise |
| 20277s | in balgorn bands but I don't think we've |
| 20279s | seen a rise in balgorn's winning matches |
| 20281s | or at least being the reason why matches |
| 20282s | are one |
| 20284s | um no I think that banning the curse |
| 20286s | Banning the Bell going Banning the |
| 20288s | Armageddon Navy issue |
| 20289s | like mod said it's it's removing a lot |
| 20291s | of those cap pressure ships that you |
| 20293s | typically see on the grid there are |
| 20295s | still a bunch of different options and a |
| 20296s | lot of these ships that we do see fairly |
| 20298s | often in the battleship variety nowadays |
| 20300s | have utility highs so even though |
| 20302s | they're not necessarily bonus newts |
| 20304s | there's still going to be a lot of cap |
| 20305s | pressure Potential from things like the |
| 20306s | shack that can fit I think two or three |
| 20308s | newts anyway maybe you do two newts in a |
| 20310s | smart bomb |
| 20311s | um you've got the typhoon Fleet issues |
| 20313s | that will have newts all that kind of |
| 20314s | stuff so even though they're banning |
| 20316s | them out I don't think it's making a |
| 20317s | massive difference in terms of like |
| 20319s | pressure potential because you're still |
| 20321s | likely to see nukes on the grid |
| 20323s | awesome well we're actually going to see |
| 20325s | uh Flagship versus Flagship in this |
| 20327s | match as well as Brave Collective |
| 20328s | bringing their Flagship Armageddon Navy |
| 20330s | issue whereas uh boundary experts going |
| 20333s | for that Flagship bar I guess both of |
| 20335s | them being fielded in this particular |
| 20337s | match so this could be expensive for |
| 20340s | both sides both teams here boundary |
| 20342s | experts last year finishing top uh 16 |
| 20345s | and brave Collective finishing top 12 so |
| 20348s | you know these are not inexperienced |
| 20349s | teams Brave have been doing uh pretty |
| 20351s | well over the years they've had some |
| 20352s | solid runs uh they always have pretty |
| 20355s | solid Pilots uh boundary Experts of |
| 20357s | course very very similar |
| 20359s | um so it was certainly expect to see a |
| 20360s | very good match up here I think these |
| 20362s | teams are relatively evenly matched but |
| 20364s | it's time to head over to the arena with |
| 20365s | mizir and Mark resurrectus |
| 20372s | welcome back friends it's me Mark |
| 20374s | resurrex is here with mazier for the |
| 20375s | penultimate match in today's or rather |
| 20378s | this first weekend of combat we have our |
| 20381s | friends from |
| 20383s | Brave Collective versus boundary experts |
| 20385s | boundary experts bringing out the old |
| 20387s | IHOP Doctrine yes IHOP I did coin at the |
| 20390s | yesterday and it's gonna stick with dual |
| 20392s | Bargas orthos OGG Agera which makes you |
| 20395s | think hmm maybe there's some little |
| 20398s | fishy going on here maybe These Are |
| 20399s | armor Bargas what do we got for the team |
| 20401s | from Brave Collective mazir |
| 20403s | that seems to be doing something a bit |
| 20405s | more traditional like with two heavy |
| 20407s | battleships in the front and they're |
| 20409s | supported by an Absolution with the |
| 20411s | links on their nearest uh pandifix |
| 20414s | arbitrator |
| 20416s | retribution back some more line Sky |
| 20418s | breaker so really both teams like opting |
| 20421s | to support their heavy Battleship core |
| 20423s | two Battleship seats and each of them |
| 20425s | have like a flagship on the grid they do |
| 20427s | and what's interesting is for these |
| 20429s | Bargas if you specially fit these |
| 20431s | armored burgers that gives you so much |
| 20433s | room for control in the middle and this |
| 20435s | as you can see that boundary expert's |
| 20437s | control bar is thick as hell it is |
| 20441s | absolutely massive uh a control bar that |
| 20444s | can only be uh the product of of theory |
| 20447s | crafting by a team that would have an |
| 20448s | individual like Chad hammercock on their |
| 20450s | team yeah it's like going for that punch |
| 20453s | effects like trying to like Nuke it down |
| 20455s | with those Rapids missiles but he did |
| 20457s | cats reps and not trying to switch with |
| 20459s | retribution that's going in front trying |
| 20461s | to get that sniped out I see because his |
| 20464s | AGC up fast |
| 20466s | yeah he is in a tough spot just even |
| 20468s | looking at all those explosions is |
| 20470s | causing my poor frame rate to drop that |
| 20472s | retribution of Aryan fellow does go down |
| 20475s | and that is the first blood in this |
| 20477s | match form Brave |
| 20479s | yeah losing that the heavy taggy can be |
| 20482s | problematic as they're trying to chase |
| 20484s | down these ships the boundary experts |
| 20487s | are like trying to like scoop around |
| 20489s | them or don't want to get too close to |
| 20490s | the boundary and they're trying to get |
| 20492s | around this Brave the front line ships |
| 20494s | uh with Chad habit called leading the |
| 20496s | way in the hyena yes he is of course |
| 20498s | Chad hammercock does always lead the way |
| 20501s | dread pirate Rogers and the vexer goes |
| 20503s | down these this Brave team is just being |
| 20506s | kited around the outside of the Arena |
| 20508s | you can see up here in the corner by |
| 20510s | this team from boundary experts but that |
| 20512s | being said they're not putting damage |
| 20513s | into the Bargas he might be fooled and |
| 20515s | thinking huh Vargas low shield no no no |
| 20517s | remember these are armor barks they have |
| 20520s | a long way to go before they can punch |
| 20521s | through one of these bad boys |
| 20524s | yeah about your age feels like being |
| 20525s | comfortable Physicians like really |
| 20527s | applying the control like dancing uh |
| 20530s | lightly around the brave front line |
| 20532s | they're having the lead in this walls as |
| 20535s | a they're just picking apart their |
| 20537s | support while not really being that |
| 20539s | threatened themselves yeah they are Chad |
| 20541s | hammercock himself is kind of out down |
| 20543s | in the bottom you can see he's got a |
| 20544s | couple drones on it but not too much |
| 20545s | threat down there and he will probably |
| 20547s | be getting reps here before too long as |
| 20548s | the auger of spine blot is not too far |
| 20551s | behind and again this this is just a a |
| 20554s | very you can tell the the the experience |
| 20557s | of a team like this because this is very |
| 20559s | well done you just move slowly around |
| 20561s | the outside of the Arena you force the |
| 20563s | other team to string themselves like |
| 20564s | pinned down and getting shot hot but |
| 20566s | there was a Miss eyes yeah you pick up a |
| 20570s | Target like Point Pin It Down by a chat |
| 20572s | hi my and then like slam him with |
| 20574s | missiles that's arbitrator goes down |
| 20575s | absolutely slammed by the hammercock you |
| 20578s | were absolutely right mazier targets of |
| 20580s | opportunity is the name of the game for |
| 20582s | this team from boundary experts and they |
| 20583s | are just getting smacked the spreaker |
| 20586s | Lord have mercy he is broken and |
| 20591s | Lord |
| 20592s | so interesting enough to like having an |
| 20594s | armor office this is like a really odd |
| 20597s | choice where people would think |
| 20599s | so they're not room for much tank or |
| 20602s | damage but they do have like that extra |
| 20604s | application and the DPS so and sorry I |
| 20608s | mean they're controlled with the long |
| 20609s | range frames so they |
| 20610s | they they still like approved to have |
| 20612s | the DPS they need to kill things so they |
| 20615s | they like going all inward that's a |
| 20616s | control |
| 20618s | yeah and there's still quite a bit of |
| 20619s | DPS left on this in the side of Brave |
| 20621s | Collective I mean you can still they've |
| 20623s | still got their Flagship they've still |
| 20624s | got the abbottom they've still got the |
| 20625s | Absolution and they still have their |
| 20627s | logic you can see them it's now starting |
| 20628s | to put a little bit of damage into |
| 20629s | Alexander Torrington but they really |
| 20631s | need to find something to do with that |
| 20632s | hyena because if the hyena is there to |
| 20634s | kind of help screen hold down targets do |
| 20636s | any number of things it's going to put |
| 20638s | them in a position where they can never |
| 20639s | get close enough to apply all the damage |
| 20641s | they need to so I think I should do a |
| 20643s | shout out to these two curious pilots on |
| 20645s | the uh boundary experts teams life |
| 20648s | really hell for your nearest field of |
| 20650s | early hours I see if you're also making |
| 20651s | it hard for them to get a Navy |
| 20653s | strategically applied long-range |
| 20654s | neutralizers because they have like |
| 20657s | expensive long-range bonus the |
| 20659s | neutralizers when they can't even lock |
| 20661s | that far yeah these carries Pilots are |
| 20663s | absolutely Chads those those Pilots |
| 20665s | being uh Vega versus generics and bakla |
| 20668s | backslack shoe incredible Pilots |
| 20671s | incredible names and now you see a lot |
| 20673s | of the damage from the team from Battery |
| 20674s | X was going into this oh Nero some brave |
| 20676s | from Ali Aris uh who is able to wrap up |
| 20679s | is is going to be able to be okay here |
| 20681s | uh but you know right now the boundary |
| 20684s | experts is in the driver's seat they |
| 20686s | have all the room that they need they've |
| 20687s | strung the brave team out a little bit |
| 20689s | they have this one played exactly the |
| 20690s | way they want it to |
| 20692s | I do wonder if the boundary expert like |
| 20694s | recruiting People based off their names |
| 20696s | because they're like having some amazing |
| 20697s | names from that team and they don't be |
| 20699s | good names |
| 20701s | the authors is named Jay Johnson that's |
| 20704s | a great name I mean that's that's very |
| 20705s | good Ali Ayers in the owner is now |
| 20708s | taking quite a bit of damage is Webb |
| 20710s | down you gotta think that's got to be |
| 20712s | the work of the hammer himself and |
| 20714s | the owneros drops that will do it for |
| 20717s | that O'Neills they have no lodgy left |
| 20721s | is showing up the strategy between like |
| 20724s | these with missile shapes and the hyena |
| 20726s | because the high neck above whip the |
| 20728s | Target down and paint them so they will |
| 20730s | apply perfectly without even the attack |
| 20733s | 11 chance to escape and there's a saying |
| 20735s | about this I could punch your face goes |
| 20736s | down as well Brave team just being |
| 20738s | picked apart by slow and methodical uh |
| 20741s | control setup that the primary experts |
| 20744s | have even really been executing well so |
| 20746s | unless uh this might look like green |
| 20748s | clean wipe and it might actually end |
| 20750s | like a clean wipe but the brake team |
| 20752s | like clean up against something really |
| 20754s | difficult and they have been doing the |
| 20756s | best |
| 20757s | yeah this Brave team has has played very |
| 20759s | well uh throughout this tournament we've |
| 20761s | been hearing all about how how you know |
| 20764s | how well this team has come together and |
| 20765s | how well this team has has been able to |
| 20767s | brainstorm and scrimmed at it you know |
| 20769s | we have uh fear Vina our very good |
| 20771s | friend has been talking of his team |
| 20772s | throughout the entire weekend uh and |
| 20774s | we're excited to see what this Brave |
| 20776s | team is going to be able to do in the |
| 20777s | future however unfortunately it does |
| 20778s | look like this is going to be their last |
| 20780s | go of it Dutch gunner in the Mueller is |
| 20783s | probably going to be the last one down |
| 20785s | here or not the last one down but the |
| 20787s | next one down rather as he is going to |
| 20790s | be dipping into low armor he is |
| 20792s | surrounded by drones and taking a little |
| 20794s | bit of damage and a lot of suck right |
| 20796s | now from that Bargas of Xander audelies |
| 20801s | okay at this point is just to clean up a |
| 20804s | jump for the boundary experts the uh |
| 20806s | still a full full team remaining and |
| 20809s | they're they're like controlling these |
| 20811s | the brave team like bullying them like |
| 20813s | children in the playground they they |
| 20816s | really cannot do anything but the brave |
| 20818s | team they're still fighting they don't |
| 20820s | want to give up they want to still |
| 20822s | believe and they're really props to |
| 20824s | these guys for going down guns blazing |
| 20826s | yeah they did now they're going to turn |
| 20829s | their attention to Ensign lion Leon |
| 20832s | rather in the get a Navy this is a |
| 20834s | flagship get a Navy so they will take |
| 20836s | the opportunity to knock this one down |
| 20838s | and maybe scoop the loot Brave the |
| 20840s | collective and that is a null block they |
| 20842s | do have some Deep Pockets you know maybe |
| 20844s | not as much as some of these other teams |
| 20845s | but you know you gotta think there's got |
| 20847s | to be a little bit of the old Razzles |
| 20849s | going for that Beacon Street might |
| 20851s | actually be trying to try and deny the |
| 20853s | loot but we need them to get in and they |
| 20855s | get that scram if actually any of them |
| 20857s | do have a scramble or not the |
| 20866s | yeah I don't think he's gonna have quite |
| 20868s | enough time to get there he is webbed |
| 20871s | down by the thick girthy webs of the |
| 20874s | hammercock that's like no one nearby go |
| 20876s | and get that looted come on guys I was |
| 20879s | gonna say they gotta make a play for it |
| 20880s | it's right there |
| 20881s | and if you're the if you're do Jack one |
| 20884s | eye go kill the wreck deny my friend |
| 20886s | deny |
| 20888s | yeah you're going to see them burning in |
| 20889s | both bags under the yeah okay so they |
| 20893s | they they're going to get the loot uh |
| 20895s | this is quite ironic since previous |
| 20897s | again Lion's been knowing for like |
| 20899s | having your new brothers like looting |
| 20901s | the field with that take one atrons on |
| 20904s | TQ and now it's their hard-earned loot |
| 20907s | that's going to be Ting in the hands of |
| 20909s | the boundary experts it is a fun bit of |
| 20912s | irony Xander Vale will be the next one |
| 20914s | down taking quite a bit of damage as |
| 20916s | boundary experts works on finishing up |
| 20919s | this match uh and they will be advancing |
| 20921s | to the next round and the team from |
| 20923s | Brave Collective will be going home uh |
| 20927s | but you know with uh with their heads |
| 20929s | held high they performed well this |
| 20930s | tournament and they have a lot to be uh |
| 20932s | a lot to be proud of right now |
| 20934s | yeah definitely a great run for both |
| 20937s | teams on there looking forward to seeing |
| 20939s | how the boundaries feels going to |
| 20941s | progress to the entertainment because |
| 20942s | they have been showing they have been |
| 20944s | playing this control so that extremely |
| 20947s | well and uh definitely show them they |
| 20948s | have potential to uh to be a dangerous |
| 20951s | team in this uh tournament they |
| 20954s | absolutely do they absolutely do I do |
| 20955s | want to point out chat right now is |
| 20957s | making some comments about why I seem to |
| 20959s | be interested in saying the name |
| 20960s | hammercock I don't know what would lead |
| 20962s | them to believe that seems like an odd |
| 20964s | thing to say I just enjoy high quality |
| 20967s | piloting by anybody uh including Chad |
| 20970s | hammercock |
| 20972s | and now we have to take one eye being a |
| 20975s | remaining die on this Brave team means a |
| 20978s | pattern so he's like a chunky tank and |
| 20980s | that one but uh by the combined DPS on |
| 20983s | the uh boundary expert team he's going |
| 20985s | to go down fast like 30 seconds |
| 20987s | remaining so he might actually not |
| 20988s | survive this match as they're going to |
| 20990s | finish him off |
| 20993s | yeah this is uh this is well done I mean |
| 20996s | they they did exactly what they wanted |
| 20997s | to these double Barger setups still |
| 20999s | strong after all this time and a pawn |
| 21001s | effects goes down as he does too so they |
| 21004s | took one more with him as they went on |
| 21005s | the way out uh but that will do it for |
| 21008s | us today we have one more match after |
| 21010s | this from me and mazier we'll go back to |
| 21012s | the desk with our friends CCP overload |
| 21015s | moderator and mystical might |
| 21020s | all right |
| 21034s | [Music] |
| 21037s | [Applause] |
| 21051s | foreign |
| 21062s | [Music] |
| 21068s | [Applause] |
| 21069s | [Music] |
| 21070s | [Applause] |
| 21073s | [Music] |
| 21096s | [Music] |
| 21103s | boundary experts they're eliminating |
| 21105s | Brave Collective uh in that exciting |
| 21108s | match uh looked like boundary experts |
| 21110s | had it in control pretty much the whole |
| 21112s | way through with some excellent piloting |
| 21114s | uh from from the whole team there I mean |
| 21117s | even even some of the guys in Brave of |
| 21118s | course were doing really well uh Chad |
| 21120s | hammercock uh in that hyena really just |
| 21123s | reaching out across the arena slowing |
| 21125s | everybody down and maybe some piloting |
| 21127s | mistakes on the the brave side uh I |
| 21130s | believe the the battleships uh the Navy |
| 21132s | garden and the abaddin uh looked like |
| 21135s | they were just using the approach |
| 21136s | mechanic uh and even now you had |
| 21138s | approach you go straight towards |
| 21139s | something but if that something happens |
| 21141s | to be moving you kind of end up arcing |
| 21143s | around behind it uh moderator uh what |
| 21146s | might happen there if you did that yeah |
| 21148s | so the problem is that uh not just in |
| 21152s | you know 2D space but in |
| 21154s | three-dimensional submarine space game |
| 21157s | uh the shortest distance between two |
| 21159s | points is a straight line and if you |
| 21161s | double click approach uh you go to where |
| 21164s | they were not where you want them to be |
| 21167s | when you eventually meet up so |
| 21169s | unfortunately uh what that means is if |
| 21172s | you're already in a slower armor |
| 21173s | Battleship you're just not gonna get you |
| 21175s | know in a place where you can close |
| 21177s | range and apply you know those officer |
| 21179s | newts that you're gonna have on |
| 21181s | something like a Navy getting so |
| 21184s | unfortunately maybe a bit of a misplay |
| 21186s | from them and |
| 21188s | you know when you're in these places |
| 21190s | where you're playing you know four skins |
| 21193s | now or tournament ships you have to make |
| 21197s | every one of these moves correct or |
| 21199s | you're gonna fall out and that's what |
| 21201s | ended up happening |
| 21202s | mystical might uh do you think there's |
| 21203s | anything else that uh the brave team |
| 21205s | could have done there to maybe make that |
| 21207s | more of a successful match for them |
| 21209s | honestly not really I think that brave |
| 21213s | we're gonna have difficulties when they |
| 21215s | were going up against the double carries |
| 21216s | the Sentinel and the hyena the hyena |
| 21219s | makes it so that it's really hard to |
| 21220s | actually start chasing anything because |
| 21221s | the long range webs will reach out slow |
| 21223s | you down expertly piloted by Chad |
| 21225s | hammacock then we had the Two Carries |
| 21227s | which prevented you from locking a fair |
| 21230s | distance so if you're unable to catch up |
| 21232s | and you're unable to lock then you're |
| 21234s | gonna have a bad time trying to apply |
| 21236s | your damage |
| 21239s | awesome thank you very much I was just |
| 21242s | looking at the uh the Armageddon Navy |
| 21243s | issue there |
| 21245s | um of Anson Leon who uh sadly passed |
| 21248s | away during that particular match uh it |
| 21250s | looks like uh 31.6 billion is |
| 21254s | um uh one of our favorites the officer |
| 21257s | damage control uh down in the low slots |
| 21259s | for about 11 billion then a couple of |
| 21261s | Officer modules in the mids we see an |
| 21264s | officer Webb at gotan's web 5 billion |
| 21267s | there and a nice modified tracking |
| 21269s | computer this all dropped by the way |
| 21271s | every single expensive item every single |
| 21273s | one of them or except one modified |
| 21275s | sensor booster I should say actually SX |
| 21278s | Bill one f for that uh everything else |
| 21280s | dropped uh so brave collectors SRP fund |
| 21284s | as you say took a bit of a head here uh |
| 21287s | but you know burn your experts able to |
| 21288s | scoop that up I presume and take it home |
| 21291s | sell it to put it on their Flagship who |
| 21293s | knows what they did with it uh you heard |
| 21295s | Mark resurrectus uh shouting |
| 21296s | enthusiastically about loot denial |
| 21299s | during that last match moderator what's |
| 21301s | he talking about |
| 21302s | so |
| 21303s | um of course when the ships die they get |
| 21305s | put into a bit of a wreck and sometimes |
| 21307s | it's become something of a tradition |
| 21309s | where if you know that you've already |
| 21311s | lost the match you'll take one or two of |
| 21313s | your ships and maybe you just decide to |
| 21316s | be Petty and you shoot the wreck of your |
| 21318s | Flagship so that the Hostile team can't |
| 21321s | just come in and scoop you know |
| 21323s | potentially hundreds of billions of |
| 21325s | visca of very rare and exclusive officer |
| 21327s | mods that uh basically don't really drop |
| 21330s | very much in the game |
| 21332s | yeah that was um I mean it's a valid |
| 21334s | tactic sometimes especially if you're |
| 21335s | not in a elimination match when you |
| 21338s | might maybe face a team later on and |
| 21340s | they have a flagship and yours is maybe |
| 21342s | you know you've got some really good |
| 21343s | mods and you don't want to increase the |
| 21345s | power of a team you likely to face again |
| 21347s | uh when you're an elimination match is |
| 21349s | pretty much just like you know I got |
| 21352s | mine you're not getting it either |
| 21354s | mystical might what do you think I think |
| 21357s | it's a great tactic I remember in the |
| 21359s | old days |
| 21360s | um we would try and Boundary our |
| 21362s | flagships to deny them the loot as well |
| 21365s | if you're The Last Ship on grid |
| 21366s | um it just reminds me of the time where |
| 21368s | Starfleet told us to not let something |
| 21371s | boundary and then it ended up Surviving |
| 21374s | anyway yeah |
| 21376s | was attempting the boundary to deny we |
| 21379s | form Volta the loot Starfleet Commander |
| 21381s | uh says uh kill the balgown don't let |
| 21384s | them boundary so we stopped on |
| 21386s | boundaring and then failed to kill him |
| 21388s | and he lived yes so he survived it was a |
| 21389s | great time our live in tusculars to |
| 21391s | continue with their Flagship so a bit of |
| 21392s | a double-edged sword this whole this |
| 21393s | whole thing all right we have one more |
| 21395s | match to uh to go to the another |
| 21397s | elimination match and this is an |
| 21398s | exciting one uh because it's a wormallow |
| 21400s | versus wormholer uh so this is certainly |
| 21402s | gonna be an interesting one is no |
| 21404s | vacancies versus whole control let's |
| 21406s | take a quick look at the Bands |
| 21408s | so Novak battling out carries Morris |
| 21411s | Blackbird and executive Navy issue where |
| 21413s | his whole control going for bar guest |
| 21415s | algern Nighthawk and Scimitar now um |
| 21418s | whole control did pretty well against |
| 21420s | tuskers in their match yesterday uh |
| 21423s | really pushed uh pushed them uh in that |
| 21425s | particular matchup I will check who no |
| 21428s | vacancies played against |
| 21429s | um but what I do so Misty what do you |
| 21431s | think of these bands for some reason it |
| 21433s | looks like no vacancies really don't |
| 21435s | want to go up against stamps so removing |
| 21437s | the carries in the mawless those are |
| 21438s | fairly low Point ships that will have an |
| 21441s | extremely good effect |
| 21442s | um in a match if you're putting all your |
| 21443s | block range dams for example on the |
| 21445s | logistics again it ties the enemy team |
| 21447s | to their logistic ship if they're stray |
| 21450s | too far away they don't receive reps and |
| 21451s | they die a little bit more easily it |
| 21453s | looks like the whole control team is |
| 21455s | following the trend of banning this |
| 21457s | balgorn which again maybe we're just |
| 21460s | missing something maybe the balgorn is |
| 21461s | just really good and we haven't seen it |
| 21463s | yet because we're watching a different |
| 21464s | tournament but I don't know why teams |
| 21467s | are so terrified of the balgorn this |
| 21469s | time around because it does seem like |
| 21470s | one of the weaker battleships that you |
| 21471s | can face but the Nighthawk to Scimitar |
| 21474s | the bar guests are all standard bands as |
| 21475s | well just trying to prevent some of the |
| 21477s | fast moving short comps or the shield |
| 21479s | Rush coming from the Nighthawk so |
| 21481s | um I was going to ask do you know what |
| 21483s | the flagships are for these teams uh I |
| 21486s | know this spreadsheet that does tell me |
| 21487s | these ones uh let me just check it so |
| 21490s | Hall control Flagship Vindicator and no |
| 21494s | vacancies Flagship bar guest and both of |
| 21496s | them are bringing them according to the |
| 21499s | screen in front of me both flag Vox yeah |
| 21502s | I think someone's typing weird things in |
| 21504s | there shipping they mean both flag bargs |
| 21507s | both Flags so someone typing words uh |
| 21511s | semi-usefully into a screen so good job |
| 21515s | whoever that is |
| 21517s | um I checked by the way Novak got |
| 21519s | knocked down to the elimination bracket |
| 21520s | by Fraternity in an eight nil defeat so |
| 21524s | a pretty tight match considering |
| 21526s | fraternity looking like one of the the |
| 21528s | good teams this year so a good |
| 21530s | performance from Novak good performance |
| 21531s | from Whole control every like I said |
| 21533s | really pushing uh on the tuskers very |
| 21536s | solid team right there so I'm actually |
| 21538s | quite excited about this |
| 21541s | earlier today |
| 21543s | um where it was like an ATO difference |
| 21544s | and then the Navy orc died at the end |
| 21546s | the Vex the Navy issue pilot from the no |
| 21548s | vacancies team did a really good job of |
| 21549s | sitting on the ineros newting it out and |
| 21552s | allowing his team to actually start |
| 21553s | doing damage to frat it's just |
| 21554s | unfortunate that it didn't pan out that |
| 21556s | way yeah well it is time to head to our |
| 21558s | last match of the day it is no vacancies |
| 21560s | versus Hall control and our casters Alec |
| 21562s | and Chad |
| 21567s | welcome to the arena this is our last |
| 21570s | match of the day and a way to go out |
| 21571s | with two flagships being on grid here of |
| 21574s | indicator and bargast Alec would you |
| 21576s | like to go through the uh whatever team |
| 21579s | you'd like here |
| 21580s | absolutely this is a heavyweight Main |
| 21583s | Event fight as we have an armor Varga a |
| 21585s | flagship Vindicator on the side of hole |
| 21588s | control here they've also brought a |
| 21590s | lechisis which we haven't seen much of |
| 21592s | in this tournament but it is a very |
| 21593s | powerful damp ship and they have a mix |
| 21596s | of uh damage and control in the lows |
| 21599s | with a tackle Vengeance which could play |
| 21601s | a huge role in this fight |
| 21603s | and on the no vacancies team we're |
| 21605s | looking at two rapid battleships with |
| 21607s | the Bargas and a get a navy and EOS with |
| 21610s | a arbitrator Sentinel uh disruption |
| 21612s | combo and some frigate lodges one being |
| 21614s | tutu and one being T1 yes the match |
| 21617s | begins |
| 21618s | yes the links have popped and we see the |
| 21621s | whole control team kind of banking to |
| 21623s | the side Here No Vacancy staying |
| 21625s | relatively static not quite sure what |
| 21627s | they want to do yet as a set of drones |
| 21630s | that's now streaking across the field |
| 21632s | from hole control and they're settling |
| 21634s | on the Sentinel of Alex katsuo no |
| 21637s | relation |
| 21638s | and we were having damps from hole |
| 21640s | controls spread across the uh most of |
| 21643s | the no vacancies team here as we see |
| 21645s | newts on the leukisas from Novak and |
| 21647s | weapon disruptors getting put on the |
| 21648s | whole control vargur |
| 21651s | well cases is a great Newt Target it's |
| 21653s | going to have most of its mid slots if |
| 21654s | not all the med slots devoted to dams |
| 21656s | which have spread across the no |
| 21657s | vacancies team those will come off once |
| 21660s | the newts take their toll meanwhile the |
| 21662s | DPS taking its toll on its armor bar |
| 21664s | sitting at a very alarming just over 50 |
| 21667s | percent big chunks coming out of the |
| 21669s | lack was is bringing some of that armor |
| 21671s | back it's not exactly the beefiest Recon |
| 21674s | in the game |
| 21675s | and like you said those newts have shut |
| 21677s | down all of the damps that it is |
| 21679s | providing to the grid and the no |
| 21682s | vacancies team has now opened up to put |
| 21683s | all of their damage into ewar out on the |
| 21686s | whole control team now that those damps |
| 21688s | are gone |
| 21689s | yeah once the Dam's dropped you saw the |
| 21691s | lack dropped its ability to maintain any |
| 21693s | semblance a tank dissolved under the |
| 21695s | force of the full attack bar of no |
| 21697s | vacancies as now they've moved on to |
| 21699s | their next Target which seems to be the |
| 21701s | auger Navy issue of stavlad a much |
| 21704s | tougher Target they're gonna struggle to |
| 21706s | bring that one down quickly |
| 21708s | but note I'm seeing Vindicator webs on |
| 21711s | both battleships and Vindicator web |
| 21713s | slowing those battleships down to |
| 21715s | nothing and they're starting to shoot |
| 21716s | The Vindicator hoping to get him off of |
| 21718s | their flag bar guest which is the Target |
| 21721s | now |
| 21722s | yeah that flag bargain is running out of |
| 21724s | shields they've also split some |
| 21725s | attention onto the drauger of rain row |
| 21727s | but that appears to have largely pulled |
| 21730s | out of Harm's Way and is now no longer a |
| 21732s | focus they're going all in on the |
| 21734s | battleship here looking to take that |
| 21736s | Flagship out and again if this Flagship |
| 21738s | goes down they cannot bring it for the |
| 21741s | entire rest of the tournament this is |
| 21743s | very high stakes for no vacancies |
| 21745s | it is a flag V flag matchup as we speak |
| 21748s | Vindicator versus Bargas on top of each |
| 21750s | other brawling it out to for the final |
| 21753s | match of the day winner goes to get some |
| 21755s | prize ships loser goes home big match on |
| 21758s | the line and both flagships are showing |
| 21760s | that they need to win this match and it |
| 21762s | doesn't look like the whole control |
| 21763s | Flagship is winning this matchup |
| 21766s | yeah and very crucially the whole |
| 21767s | control Varga not even in its optimal |
| 21770s | range yet it was quite far from the bar |
| 21772s | guest when it got pinned down and the |
| 21774s | Varga has been steaming over toward it |
| 21776s | ever since it's now beginning to get |
| 21778s | into the optimal range for its guns |
| 21780s | you're going to see its damage increase |
| 21781s | very dramatically over the next couple |
| 21783s | seconds |
| 21785s | it seems like they're just barely |
| 21787s | putting damage into this Bargas but that |
| 21789s | is probably going to be having it might |
| 21791s | have a as uh March and early armor |
| 21793s | booster if that runs out those reps are |
| 21795s | going down but being a flagship I'd hope |
| 21797s | it has double wrappers for X types or |
| 21800s | officer on it as we see the vexer Navy |
| 21802s | actually be the Target now and start to |
| 21804s | go down yeah No Vacancy says pivoted |
| 21806s | from going all in on The Vindicator they |
| 21808s | pivoted off it to the vexer Navy a much |
| 21810s | weaker tank it is now dipping into |
| 21812s | structure it is gone that is a vexer |
| 21814s | Navy down along with a huge chunk of |
| 21816s | damage the drones now streaking back |
| 21819s | across the field looks like they're |
| 21820s | going after the the vengeance |
| 21823s | uh the drones are actually splitting |
| 21825s | their focus some of them went on to the |
| 21826s | Vengeance some are going on to the pawn |
| 21827s | effects which is taking heavy damage now |
| 21829s | that's a great investment for them long |
| 21832s | term if they can take down that pawn |
| 21833s | effects and it looks like their chances |
| 21835s | are good here it's trying to get some |
| 21837s | armor back but it's very much too little |
| 21839s | too late as it goes down but they will |
| 21841s | probably trade it for the Sentinel very |
| 21842s | shortly |
| 21843s | and it seems that the no vacancies team |
| 21845s | is realizing that they have a tackled |
| 21847s | Bargas it is not holding it is barely |
| 21849s | dying they're trying to get as much of |
| 21851s | the whole control team off that grid as |
| 21853s | possible trying to get as much points |
| 21855s | per kill as that bar guest is worth on |
| 21857s | their team getting as much stuff as they |
| 21859s | can down is very key they're going to |
| 21861s | lose this flag Bargas by the looks of it |
| 21863s | and just trying to take out as much |
| 21864s | stuff as possible to flip the match in |
| 21866s | their favor sacrificing at this bar |
| 21868s | guest for hopefully a win |
| 21870s | yeah whole control losing a little bit |
| 21872s | of focus here that bar guest is on the |
| 21874s | ropes its tank has been running for a |
| 21876s | while it's going to be running quite low |
| 21877s | at this point but they're splitting |
| 21879s | damage between if The Inquisitor The |
| 21881s | Sentinel and at one point the arbitrator |
| 21883s | uh seems like they focus now their low |
| 21885s | end on the Sentinel of Sarah katsuo |
| 21887s | taking a page from temples calcifier |
| 21889s | forcing The Inquisitor and the Deacon to |
| 21892s | decide are they going to keep the bar |
| 21893s | guest up are they going to try to keep |
| 21894s | themselves up but in the meantime whole |
| 21896s | control is bleeding ships and with it |
| 21899s | their ability to stay on this field they |
| 21901s | just lost one of their logistic ships |
| 21902s | they're about to lose the other one that |
| 21905s | probably means their damage is not long |
| 21906s | for this world they nearly need to |
| 21908s | double down on this broadcast then drop |
| 21909s | it and then move on to kill something |
| 21911s | else quickly |
| 21912s | the question is going to be does this |
| 21914s | flag Vindicator live it is going into |
| 21916s | low armor as well are they going to try |
| 21918s | to trade flagships at the exact same |
| 21920s | time it's looking like the barn is just |
| 21921s | pulling back and The Vindicator is not |
| 21923s | holding |
| 21924s | you know that vendy's got a great local |
| 21926s | tank as well but this barcus is giving |
| 21928s | it a run for its money it's actually |
| 21930s | losing the DPS race at this point if |
| 21932s | they do take down the bar guest it may |
| 21934s | stabilize but I don't think they will |
| 21935s | that broadcast just brought back a huge |
| 21938s | chunk of armor the logistics frigates |
| 21940s | doing work here pulling that barcus back |
| 21942s | at a clutch moment and The Vindicator |
| 21944s | goes down |
| 21946s | oh goodness it did not look like that |
| 21948s | was going to happen but it seems like |
| 21949s | the tide has turned now as they switch |
| 21951s | damage onto the Varga hoping to get rid |
| 21953s | of as much GPS as possible to save this |
| 21955s | flag Burgess |
| 21957s | yeah I mean all the new vacancies team |
| 21959s | stabilizing the barcas now in low armor |
| 21961s | it's it's taking hits but it's bleeding |
| 21963s | structure very very slowly far too |
| 21966s | slowly for hole controls liking the |
| 21968s | Varga now down at a half armor and it's |
| 21970s | going to struggle to bring that armor |
| 21971s | hit points back meanwhile The Inquisitor |
| 21973s | for No Vacancy is still under a ton of |
| 21975s | pressure but it is holding at one-third |
| 21978s | armor no longer in danger as the barcas |
| 21981s | continues to regain hit points it's now |
| 21983s | out of the danger zone as far as |
| 21985s | bleeding structure it is effectively |
| 21987s | saved unless this Inquisitor goes down |
| 21989s | that Varga is almost certainly going to |
| 21992s | drop before Sierra katsu is Inquisitor |
| 21994s | the Varga does have an armor rep bonus |
| 21997s | but not able to fit a Bastion module in |
| 21999s | this tournament but it is going down |
| 22001s | significantly faster than that bar gust |
| 22003s | was early on in the match with all that |
| 22005s | damage on it as the Varga goes down the |
| 22007s | last bit of damage that is going to be |
| 22009s | able to break that part is the Bargas |
| 22010s | will hold and we see a flagship down and |
| 22013s | the flagship we thought was going to go |
| 22015s | down has survived No Vacancy is denying |
| 22018s | whole control uh occupancy in the |
| 22021s | winners bracket here they've effectively |
| 22023s | shut the door on them as now the OG may |
| 22025s | be issue and Magus do not have the DPS |
| 22028s | to kill even the tech one Logistics |
| 22030s | frigate from no vacancies or his |
| 22032s | Logistics partner they've shut |
| 22034s | themselves down here there's nowhere to |
| 22037s | go the bar cast is extremely safe |
| 22039s | sitting very comfortable almost at its |
| 22041s | full hit points at this point |
| 22042s | meanwhile to Evil's Magus and stop flat |
| 22046s | dog Navy dropping at nearly the same |
| 22048s | time the Old Navy goes first the Magus |
| 22050s | will shortly follow |
| 22052s | an interesting way to end the day |
| 22053s | Flagship be Flagship at zero you would |
| 22056s | think a Vindicator would take that match |
| 22057s | any day that is what a Vindicator wants |
| 22059s | but the lodgy pilots plus the repping of |
| 22062s | that Bargas really showing in this match |
| 22065s | a big clutch logic kill to save the bar |
| 22068s | guests and that is the end of the |
| 22069s | matches for the day and we're going to |
| 22071s | send it back to the rest for last |
| 22073s | analysis |
| 22090s | [Music] |
| 22093s | thank you |
| 22099s | plan it are you ready yeah see |
| 22102s | somebody's house on the way what do you |
| 22104s | think it would feel like if a ship |
| 22106s | worked through your house I might have |
| 22108s | some weird effect like imagine yeah |
| 22111s | sneezing like they get explosive |
| 22113s | diarrhea or something like that |
| 22115s | I like sneezing more |
| 22117s | if he's out of your ass |
| 22121s | guys |
| 22124s | you started with the all right you know |
| 22128s | what jump this never happened let's move |
| 22130s | on |
| 22131s | here's our secondary Target this is me |
| 22133s | broadcasted I jump in now then we can |
| 22137s | [Applause] |
| 22140s | I want bubbles all over this big guys |
| 22150s | foreign |
| 22162s | no vacancies collapsing and rolling uh |
| 22165s | Hull control out of the alliance |
| 22166s | tournament as that is it uh for them |
| 22169s | they will go home and they lose their |
| 22170s | Flagship Vindicator as well it was |
| 22172s | nearly a flagship versus Flagship trade |
| 22175s | I mean they saw the bar guys go down we |
| 22176s | nearly so uh but we saw The Vindicator |
| 22179s | go there we nearly saw the Burgers |
| 22180s | return as well uh taking a quick look at |
| 22182s | that Flagship Vindicator |
| 22184s | 25.7 billion a pretty nice uh web in the |
| 22188s | in the mids some good officer mods in |
| 22191s | the lows and nice expensive damage |
| 22192s | control and an expensive magnetic field |
| 22194s | stabilizer so while on hold control |
| 22196s | unfortunately wasn't quite enough no |
| 22198s | vacancies I honestly thought Hall |
| 22200s | control is probably going to take that |
| 22201s | one so uh pretty dominant performance |
| 22203s | from no vacancies uh so you love to see |
| 22206s | it we love to see a little bit of an |
| 22208s | upset that was our last match |
| 22210s | um so we're gonna say goodbye but first |
| 22213s | I wanted to say thank you very much to |
