872s	welcome back to Alliance tournament 18 I
875s	am CCP overload and I am joined on the
877s	desk by mystical Knight and black Bart
879s	pirate we have a whole bunch of matches
881s	for you today explosions guaranteed I'm
883s	sure there's plenty of explosion
884s	enjoyers and chat today uh we started uh
887s	we start today with 18 teams remaining
889s	uh 14 of them will be eliminated today
891s	uh two of them still waiting to try and
894s	get prize ships because price ships go
895s	all the way to 16th place and we have 18
898s	teams remaining so there's some teams
899s	going to go home very disappointed today
901s	um and I looked at the matches earlier
904s	on today from the upper bracket the
905s	winners bracket and there's some
906s	absolutely hashtag POG matches coming up
909s	in that Winners bracket Mr combat
911s	anything you're looking forward to
912s	seeing today I'm looking forward to
913s	platinum sensitivity winning the upper
915s	bracket match today against we from
917s	Walter I believe I'm also really
919s	interested to see how the brave match
921s	goes because I think fear has been
923s	selling themselves short I think they
925s	could really make an actually Deep Run
927s	here so uh let's see what they do I I
929s	actually agree with you um I think
930s	that's a super interesting match as well
932s	fear the one of the core captains spent
934s	a long time telling everyone how bad
936s	Brave was and brave have been very very
938s	solid so we're certainly looking forward
939s	to seeing them uh we have truth honor
941s	lighting up against the tuskers co that
944s	should be a very exciting match um I
946s	think truth on the light obviously
947s	that's Hydra reloaded from last year the
948s	current defending Champions the tusker
950s	is also a championship team at one point
952s	in their history
953s	they're a good team this year they have
954s	been performing really really well so
956s	they could give truth only a solid run
958s	for their money like they can't
959s	underestimate them Bart what do you
961s	think might happen in that match I won
962s	that match well you know
964s	I think we actually talked about it a
966s	little bit before this because we were
967s	sort of hyping ourselves up and getting
969s	ready for it but uh I think that this is
971s	when the tuskers definitely could take
973s	if they're able to not out meta
975s	themselves which we've seen in the past
977s	before
978s	um
979s	it was a very interesting match when
980s	they did it last time so I'm very
981s	excited for that one I'm also very
983s	excited for platinum sensitivity because
985s	uh if I if they get knocked down I get
987s	an L next to my name on the Eve Discord
989s	and I will be very sad
991s	yeah the um the tuskers call a solid
994s	execution team really really really
995s	fantastic at running comps especially
997s	mirror matchups I'd love to see them in
999s	the mirror match up against truth on a
1000s	light I think they could really push it
1001s	and but last year we watched them uh
1004s	outmeter themselves as you say get a
1005s	little bit too deep into their own head
1006s	and bring essentially the wrong comp
1008s	mystical mate you have a comment I was
1010s	just gonna say I know you want it to be
1011s	really exciting but I hope it's not too
1012s	exciting for my heart's sake thank you
1015s	okay I'll pass that on to the script
1017s	writers yeah if we could get that just
1019s	commented let me just make sure that
1020s	it's a nice and easy win for tuskers
1022s	please thank you that's perfect
1024s	let's look at our first match of the day
1026s	it's coming up in only five minutes and
1027s	it's going to be no farts given versus
1028s	boundary experts
1030s	um let's see what they've chosen to ban
1032s	so no Forks given Banning out the EOS
1034s	the slept near and the balgorn uh
1036s	boundary experts Banning out balgorn as
1038s	well uh curse and arbitrator the trickle
1041s	Bands then being the Nighthawk for
1042s	norfolks given and Boundary experts
1044s	Banning The Sentinel mystical might
1046s	curse arbitrator in balgar and lots of
1048s	the Mars lifting band there hell curse
1050s	arbitrator and Sentinel as well yes
1053s	being a really interesting set of bands
1055s	it looks like they really want to remove
1056s	disruption it seems like it's less about
1058s	the newts themselves although the
1059s	balgorn was a suggest that perhaps they
1061s	don't like newt but it seems like they
1064s	really are looking to project their
1065s	damage this time around and uh they've
1067s	basically removed everything they're
1068s	still the crucifier in the pool so there
1070s	is still the option for no folks given
1072s	to bring the crucifier but they're very
1075s	limited in their options now yeah and
1077s	bar um that Nighthawk and the sleptner
1079s	band taking out a bunch of bonus link
1080s	ships what do you think that's sing I
1083s	think that uh this entire tournament
1084s	we've been seeing this like massive
1086s	Resurgence of the kaldari ham rush and
1089s	sometimes are also very very good in
1091s	that so even if you ban a Night Hawk out
1093s	you can bring a slapner both are
1094s	extremely high DPS ships very versatile
1096s	both of them can actually be flown
1098s	either as a kiting setup or a rush setup
1100s	so I think it's like a it's just a good
1102s	like we don't want to see this and it
1104s	kind of hurts the shield setups by a
1106s	significant amount so pretty smart bands
1108s	I still question the balgorn band I will
1110s	always question about going been but
1112s	that's okay maybe they all know
1114s	something I don't I mean the background
1116s	is obviously a fantastic ship long range
1117s	webs even though they can't use them as
1119s	flagships so they're only Tech too
1121s	fitted they're still pretty long range
1122s	they don't get a newt range bonus but
1124s	they get a new amount bonus so if one of
1126s	them gets on top of you it can really
1127s	just let you know until you have to go
1130s	home yes yes quiet
1134s	mystical mate balgar is do you think
1137s	it's worth batting even though you can't
1138s	bring us a flagship I
1141s	I've we've only seen a few teams really
1142s	rely on the balgorn I think this
1144s	tournament and I don't know how well the
1146s	battle necessarily does when you're
1148s	going up against so many different types
1149s	of Rush comps there's so many high
1152s	damage setups that want to sit on top of
1154s	you and most of them don't really have
1155s	cap using weapons so even if they're
1158s	fully neutered out it's maybe their tank
1159s	that may go off but even then some of
1162s	the modules cycle for a really long time
1163s	so it's really easy to try and get that
1165s	back online because we have to remember
1167s	that the balgown is using heavy newts
1168s	which have a 20-24 second cycle time and
1171s	you don't need that much capacitor to
1173s	run an invol so I don't know I don't
1175s	think it's necessarily something that
1176s	needs to be banned all that much
1178s	it does pair well with the Vindicator
1180s	though which we know some teams do have
1182s	their Vindicator flagships and you can't
1184s	really ban Out The Vindicator in those
1185s	cases so removing the balcony does
1187s	weaken what you can bring with The
1188s	Vindicator yeah and if you want to bring
1190s	a Vindicator then the Battleground
1191s	probably one of the worst things you
1192s	could see because it can effectively
1194s	shut that Vindicator down we've seen it
1195s	all right a couple of times teams
1197s	bringing vindicators and just getting
1198s	muted zero and just sat useless a big 23
1202s	Point hole in the team doing nothing so
1204s	this first match we have no thoughts
1206s	Kevin they are one and one so far in the
1209s	tournament dropping a match to lock
1211s	range enjoyers and winning against cast
1212s	abouts these are elimination matches so
1214s	that means that these teams are fighting
1216s	to remain in the tournament if they lose
1218s	they go home this basically sets up the
1221s	final 16 so if you win this match you
1223s	become a prize ship enjoyer you get to
1225s	go home with at least some price ships
1227s	which is definitely better than going
1228s	home with no price ships Bart I I am
1232s	looking for a prediction from you in one
1233s	word looking for a prediction for me in
1234s	one word
1235s	you may use multiple words if the team
1237s	names okay good I was like uh this is
1239s	gonna be tough so I'm gonna say no Forks
1241s	given okay I'm mystical Knight
1244s	no folks given interesting so I'm gonna
1246s	have to balance this out and go for
1248s	boundary experts but let us go to the
1250s	arena and find out right now
1257s	and welcome to the arena
1259s	of the day where they double the shack
1261s	comp versus what looks like a galante
1262s	drone Rush kind of thing what do you
1265s	think about this one swift this looks
1266s	interesting uh yeah uh I think the uh
1269s	the Double lash X now we see why they
1271s	banned out the belgorn
1273s	um unsure why uh no Forks haven't been
1275s	at the balgorn too maybe they just hate
1277s	belgardens uh they're gonna be kiting
1279s	around uh like maniacs and their drones
1281s	so it's going to be really really close
1283s	for this uh boundary experts team
1285s	they're gonna have to grab something
1287s	quick and lock it down
1288s	Maybe
1293s	yeah
1294s	because you can see the old king of DPS
1296s	versus the new king of DPS in terms of
1298s	dummy Navy versus lecheck so I'm kind of
1301s	amused to see what's going to happen
1301s	there I feel like dummy Navy is going to
1303s	have a really bad time with Twila Shacks
1304s	on his face but he does have it on yours
1306s	backing him up as does the let's check
1308s	so let's see where this match goes
1310s	yeah there's no Forks giving team uh
1311s	you'll see them in red they warped in
1313s	all in a ball at 50 kilometers from the
1315s	uh arena center uh no or boundary
1318s	experts they worked in between 30 and
1319s	50. uh at quite a quite an obtuse angle
1322s	so they're it's probably about 90
1324s	kilometers between uh their backlines
1327s	respectively
1329s	the only thing I'm going to be finding
1330s	very curious about this match is the
1331s	actual support of control that boundary
1333s	excerpts were brought because they've
1335s	brought quite a lot of the small size
1336s	support uh control ships but no Forks
1339s	does have ships that can go kill them so
1341s	we'll just see how long those ships last
1342s	as the match has now underway yeah
1344s	crucially no Jack does in this match uh
1346s	so there's malice and and Griffin and
1348s	katsune they're gonna have to try and do
1351s	something here it's tough because
1352s	they're up against the drum boats drum
1354s	boats don't really care about being
1356s	damped or anything they can just assign
1357s	their drones to the trigger and we see
1360s	this exact Navy leading the charge uh
1363s	rushing right in to the north atta boy
1366s	I gotta love the older it's like Navy
1369s	one of my favorite old ships back in the
1370s	day but it looks like a hyena is the
1372s	first primer at the moment getting
1373s	beaten down
1375s	and yeah trying to figure out what's
1376s	shooting him probably little Shacks I
1378s	guess uh Clive is is definitely taking
1380s	some damage here uh ekan in the exact
1382s	Navy he has gotten uh really really
1384s	close he's right up in the no
1385s	Thanksgiving team uh taking quite a bit
1388s	of damage here and now it looks like
1389s	he's scrammed as well uh so no Forks
1391s	giving team is gonna have to charge it
1393s	or rather battery experts are gonna have
1395s	to charge in Gonna Save their boy over
1396s	here
1398s	now but likewise the Dominic's Navy of
1400s	uh conquel has now been held down which
1402s	means that both the Shacks will get on
1403s	top of him and start applying that
1404s	ramping DPS so now at this point I
1407s	believe no Forks are kind of on a time
1408s	limit here they got to make some damage
1410s	quick before their dummy Navy goes down
1412s	and a big chunk of their DPS gets
1413s	removed
1414s	exactly and this is not this will not be
1417s	a good trade if they traded Army Navy uh
1418s	for an exact Navy here uh that exec Navy
1421s	is still holding on for remarkably good
1422s	time uh recently bonus in Uprising so it
1426s	can be a little bit more tankier
1427s	and interesting as well is that all the
1429s	Shacks of Avery Lewis has a smart bomb
1431s	fitted he's right next to his friendly
1432s	exec Navy so he's gonna start smart
1433s	bombing off these DPS drones and even
1435s	the logic drones on the nearby Le Shack
1437s	because we're not Checker uh Dominic's
1439s	Navy so he's gonna remove a lot of the
1442s	both the DPS and the tank ability of
1445s	this no folks given Dominic's Navy oh
1447s	it's ripping up that damaged Army Navy
1449s	is in a half armor here exactly also in
1451s	a half armor uh no Forks there when
1454s	they're swapping over to uh Captain
1455s	James Sparrow uh maybe trying to do a
1458s	chunk of damage while they still have
1459s	their Navy Domi alive uh but it's not
1461s	going to be enough this dummy Navy is
1463s	going down
1465s	and that is the power of Tula Shacks
1467s	like there's just so much DPS on very
1468s	tanky platforms surprisingly the exact
1470s	Navy is still alive I honestly thought
1472s	they would be able to break the room but
1473s	it's she he's just holding very
1475s	comfortably the pump fix just gets nuked
1477s	The Alchemist date goes down losing the
1479s	armor links but uh I think boundary
1481s	experts don't care too much uh they just
1483s	trade for a Navy dummy that's a huge
1486s	chunk of DPS down and as you mentioned
1488s	Avery Lewis does have Smart bottoms
1490s	running uh so these drones are gonna
1491s	have like as this game goes longer
1493s	longer
1495s	these drones are going to go away
1497s	they're going to lose a lot of their DPS
1499s	today because this is our drone comp so
1500s	losing their drones is just not a fun
1502s	experience just traffic with the Shacks
1504s	going for next I think they're going for
1505s	the murmidon next which is definitely a
1506s	very fair cool next biggest thing
1508s	uh yoyas in the boundary experts uh his
1511s	owneris is tackled uh he did battleball
1513s	in with the rest of his no boundary or
1515s	boundary experts team and uh you know he
1518s	doesn't mind too much there are some rep
1519s	Bots around him that no Forks given will
1521s	have to deal with
1523s	um but this actually could be a pretty
1525s	decent way for them to come back in if
1526s	yoyaz does go down
1528s	very much they definitely have to kill
1530s	him to try and make this match swing the
1531s	other way because at the moment no Forks
1533s	are kind of on the back foot right now
1535s	and they just can't I don't think
1537s	they're going to be able to break
1537s	through the onions to be honest he's
1538s	holding well enough I think the momentum
1540s	will go down first
1542s	yeah it's so tricky because you see so
1544s	many uh of these armor rep Bots you're
1545s	like oh maybe I can go through it uh but
1547s	once the reactive kicks in on the oneros
1549s	Assuming he's got a reactive fit uh he
1551s	can tank so much better and yeah it
1553s	looks like they are uh potentially
1554s	moving off of yoyas right now well
1557s	that's because yo-yo has managed to
1558s	break free
1560s	so not only can they not break through
1562s	the tank they also can't hold on to the
1564s	guy as you said yes last week so this is
1566s	the power of the uh dual proper neuros
1568s	we had a pretty much self-escape with a
1570s	little bit of help
1571s	yeah yeah it's breaking free still
1573s	getting uh Bots uh reparts uh from the
1576s	uh lashacks so he's doing just fine and
1579s	we see boundary experts just making
1581s	quick work uh of anything else that they
1583s	can catch here it does look like they've
1585s	now uh caught up to and caught Rogue
1588s	clone uh in the no Forks given oneros
1590s	this will be uh definitely a great
1592s	primary for them to go through
1594s	uh we'll see if it pays off or we'll see
1596s	as as soon as they catch up
1599s	you gotta get the checks over there
1600s	first but it's been great to watch these
1602s	exec navies from both sides kind of
1604s	running around being very aggressive
1606s	tanky fighting platforms you see a
1607s	kitsuno just getting nuked but these are
1609s	just I'd be great to see these ships
1611s	becoming honestly very interesting picks
1613s	in this uh tournament
1615s	uh dice verpio on the no Fork seven team
1617s	uh he is dying right now in an ishkar
1619s	but he's doing a great job right now he
1621s	is pinning down uh one of the leshacks
1624s	trying to keep them separated a little
1625s	bit uh you know when you come up with a
1628s	comp like this you have to execute
1630s	perfectly uh so dieserpio doing a really
1633s	really good job uh admirable piloting on
1635s	that side
1636s	definitely the power of a single assault
1638s	frigate can just tackle and hold down
1640s	one big ship and it looks like at the
1641s	moment no one's even trying to really
1642s	shoot him they're just kind of leaving
1643s	him there now I said they're actually
1645s	priming the vexer instead and that's
1646s	obviously a very good call it's much
1649s	easier to hit and much less tanky
1651s	you can see boundary experts exerting
1653s	almost all of their control bar right
1655s	now uh that's damn uh that's newt's uh
1658s	that's jams from the Griffin now that
1661s	the katsune is dead
1664s	a lot of control in this comp and
1666s	they've been able to like wield that
1667s	throughout the entire match it's been
1669s	honestly just I must honestly surprised
1671s	that Griffin and the moles have survived
1673s	as long as they have when there's an
1674s	issue in the grid that could easily go
1675s	kill them
1678s	yeah you can say that
1681s	the exact Navy issue uh is the one
1683s	that's tackling the oneros right now
1685s	um you know the fact that he's still
1687s	alive he's just a testament to uh how
1689s	this boundary expert team played they
1692s	knew exactly what they were getting into
1693s	uh all around in the beginning of the
1695s	match usually the first one that charges
1697s	in is at a disadvantage but boundary
1699s	experts were confident they knew what
1701s	this matchup would do and they just
1702s	rushed in and applied all of their DPS
1709s	win I always tend to find they're a bit
1711s	Lackey on the support Wing but this one
1712s	has brought a lot of good support ships
1714s	as well as a really strong logic to back
1715s	it up so this is looks like a
1717s	potentially very strong Le chat con but
1719s	hopefully we'll see a few more of it
1721s	yeah and as you can see it's so powerful
1724s	um they're just able to get uh spot jams
1727s	on the no for example no Narrows and
1729s	then just clear off uh the small ships
1731s	during that one Jam cycle uh so the UI
1734s	as you see um on your screen it will
1736s	show an attempt of a jam but not a
1738s	successful gem we don't know if it's
1740s	successful or not we just have to kind
1741s	of glean that based on what's Happening
1743s	uh but based on how fast how fast some
1745s	of these ships died I have a feeling
1747s	that onerous was jammed for a huge chunk
1749s	of this match
1751s	that's the the economy Griffin picked
1753s	doing a lot of work as well as the
1754s	Kitsune as well
1755s	it's again we've seen this up from a lot
1757s	of teams even like Brave is most well
1759s	known for having that single Griff and
1760s	just managed to win them the entire
1761s	match uh I think it was a great last A.T
1763s	indeed that Pilot's name is jinx to care
1765s	is now the new leader of Brave uh you
1768s	know they just find the best Griffin
1769s	Pilots they can uh and just put them in
1771s	charge of the alliance
1773s	carry the entire team when you're back
1775s	once guess what mate you can do it again
1777s	where's the sister hiding a good
1779s	distance away
1780s	all right cred knows does have a
1782s	relationship with the boundary experts
1784s	team uh they were um you know all
1786s	previously on well some of them were all
1788s	previously on PL teams some gold medal
1791s	winning teams uh so you know just a
1794s	little bit of respect going on here
1795s	letting their boy die last or just
1798s	making him watch until the very end and
1799s	it's super disrespectful who knows but
1801s	I'm gonna say that they're very
1802s	genuinely like on this one
1804s	yes gentleman Lane Eve that is
1806s	definitely a thing I expect to happen
1808s	yes quite uh boundary experts with this
1812s	win over no Forks given will actually
1814s	now be prize ship enjoyers they are
1817s	guaranteed uh Alliance tournament
1819s	probably ships uh so they're going to be
1821s	really really happy with this one no
1823s	Forks given unfortunately been one of
1825s	the last teams eliminated before the
1827s	priership round but we'll send it back
1829s	to the boys in the booth to analyze
1830s	everything that you just saw
1839s	bro remember me
1843s	[Music]
1854s	anywhere
1857s	[Music]
1876s	thank you
1883s	[Music]
1898s	welcome back as boundary experts take
1900s	that victory over no thoughts given and
1903s	kick them out of the tournament boundary
1905s	experts as CCP Swift says are now prize
1907s	chip enjoyers they have confirmed
1909s	themselves into the top 16 of the
1910s	tournament eliminating no Forks given in
1913s	a pretty solid match we saw at the start
1915s	of that match mystical night and the
1917s	executor Navy of the boundary experts
1919s	team we were all thinking he's way
1921s	overextended he was quite separate from
1923s	his Logistics and the rest of his team
1925s	he was just getting dunked upon by a
1927s	bunch of drones uh we'll have what is
1928s	overextending and like kind of what
1929s	happened there yeah so overextending
1932s	refers to the positioning of your ships
1934s	versus the enemy ships fantastic
1937s	um overextended would be putting
1939s	yourself out of the rep range really of
1941s	your Logistics ships and you're not able
1943s	to get support when you overextend
1944s	because the rest of your team is
1945s	probably going to be over here somewhere
1947s	in a nice little Cloud the enemy team
1949s	will be down here and this will be you
1953s	um so that will be the overextending uh
1955s	the reason we thought the uh the Navy X
1957s	I could overextended was because he was
1958s	in the middle of the enemy team tackling
1960s	down I believe the Navy Dominics
1962s	um we thought that he would die a lot
1964s	faster than he did but it seemed that
1966s	that was actually part of the plan was
1968s	just to get in there get that Navy
1969s	Dominic snailed down and then make sure
1971s	that the two of the shots could get on
1972s	top of it
1973s	um and one thing that we didn't really
1974s	consider when we were talking about it
1975s	is that one of the recent changes is to
1977s	the mass
1979s	um
1979s	on Navy XX which means that they are
1982s	super quick and they can also be very
1983s	tanky as well so yeah I think a really
1987s	good use of the Navy exact as a taco
1988s	boat though yeah that had the effect of
1991s	almost pulling in the universe uh for
1993s	the burn directs but we were watching
1994s	that ship fly in Bart and we were like
1996s	oh no don't get too close don't get too
1997s	close and then he got webbed and then I
1999s	think uh someone said GG that said but
2001s	then he just kept holding on they took
2003s	down that Navy Dominics which was a
2005s	solid trade flame at that point and then
2006s	they also managed to kill that EOS
2008s	before they lost their uh oniros so
2010s	they've taken off a lot of DPS from the
2011s	field a lot of logistics and they still
2013s	have those two Shacks so is there
2015s	anything else that the norfolks given
2016s	team could have done in that situation
2017s	not really
2019s	um honestly like they probably could
2021s	have done some swapping a lot faster I
2023s	do think that like they got baited into
2025s	going after the Navy executor because it
2028s	did Ram in and it looked out of range
2029s	but uh we did see like just how powerful
2031s	attack two Logistics is there versus
2033s	like logic frigates because the
2035s	logistics freaking soda had to get right
2037s	in there as fast they could so if he
2038s	tried to ram in when it caught them
2039s	boundary expertise no neros they're able
2041s	to keep them alive their Universe almost
2043s	died but they got like a clutch Jam off
2045s	at the last second and so he lost tackle
2047s	and was able to get away uh yeah really
2049s	good job with boundary experts planning
2051s	um also no Forks didn't spread out ever
2053s	so they're like oh no my dummy's tackled
2055s	I have to stand next to it and save it
2057s	you don't you're in German ships but oh
2060s	well big brain tactics mystical Knight
2062s	yeah I just wanted to add that while it
2065s	did work out for them this time with the
2066s	Tula Shacks telegraphing that you want
2068s	to bring something like the Shacks by
2070s	Banning every other tracking disrupting
2072s	ship in the game apart from the
2073s	crucifier does mean that people may be
2075s	able to anticipate your moves and then
2077s	try to counter that in other ways so ECM
2080s	for example I think would have been a
2081s	decent counter to the Lush acts breaking
2084s	their spools instead of just limiting
2086s	their range and they would have run into
2087s	similar issues
2088s	um as they would against the track and
2089s	disrupted so something to think about
2091s	perhaps for the boundary experts team
2092s	but I'm glad that they are now price up
2094s	enjoyers I'm pretty sure the burner
2095s	experts have been a team that has
2097s	favored the uh the Double The Shack more
2098s	than more than most I think Odin's as
2100s	well are a team that likes to use it
2101s	it's not a very common comp the teams
2103s	tend to use quite heavily
2105s	um Bart 52 points though in two ships
2108s	that's uh those are big numbers what do
2110s	you think no yeah 52 is a pretty big
2112s	number um it is actually over half the
2114s	amount of points you can have and over
2115s	half is a very good number as well uh I
2118s	do think Tila Shacks is very strong
2120s	um the ship hasn't actually been changed
2122s	much since we saw it's like overwhelming
2124s	dominance back in I want to say a t16
2127s	where they were like 21 points each
2129s	because it's like oh it's trick leaving
2130s	sponsored so they were super cheap
2132s	obviously that was realized to be maybe
2134s	not the best idea ever
2136s	um they're still very strong uh we saw
2138s	it like if they once they get on top of
2139s	you you're done like they just sit there
2141s	and they ramp and eventually their
2142s	damage becomes unreparable and you go
2144s	down they are however very very slow uh
2147s	hence why I was like oh just kite away
2149s	with your drone setups and no Fork said
2151s	no we will not we will stand and fight
2154s	which is uh not a good idea so double
2156s	Shacks are strong but again like Misty
2158s	said there's so many little things you
2159s	can use to stop it
2162s	they just weren't used in this match
2163s	well that is unfortunate for them and
2165s	they have left the tournament uh and
2167s	with that we move on to our next match
2168s	which is going to be big yikes versus
2169s	Deepwater Hooligans so let's take a look
2171s	at the bands for this match
2174s	so a big egg spanning out the Le Shack
2176s	the Claymore and the Armageddon Navy
2178s	issue Deepwater Hooligans Banning Out
2180s	The Vindicator of the Nighthawk and the
2181s	Loki mystical my interest in this
2183s	abandons here yeah I mean the Armageddon
2186s	Navy issue again teams seem to be
2188s	thinking that it's extremely strong we
2190s	saw a lot of teams bringing it last
2191s	weekend not everyone did well with it a
2194s	lot of teams seemed to try and cram it
2196s	into their setups
2198s	um favoring it because of the recent
2199s	Buffs that it's received
2201s	um but I never found out for them so
2202s	interesting to see that it's banned here
2204s	the Le shark band makes sense again
2205s	because it is still an extremely strong
2207s	ship as demonstrated by boundary experts
2210s	just now and then we have the typical
2211s	bands coming out on the Nighthawk and
2213s	Loki to try and get rid of those strong
2215s	Rush elements that we've been seeing but
2216s	the sleptness still available so there's
2218s	other ways that they can go about it if
2219s	they want to yeah again this is another
2221s	elimination match so one of these two
2223s	teams is going to go home with nothing
2224s	the other one's going to get at least
2225s	some price ships let's take a look at
2227s	some of the background of these teams
2230s	um whichever one the production crew
2231s	wants to put up first we'll have a look
2232s	at that
2235s	there are so Deepwater Hooligans 21
2237s	Pilots have flown from for them a bunch
2239s	of Veteran Pilots to moxa zero I believe
2241s	the captain and Dano I last match they
2244s	have played was against ahil now which
2246s	they won and prior to that they lost to
2248s	arrival so that's how they ended up
2250s	getting uh put into this lower bracket I
2252s	believe uh local is primary lost against
2254s	them ride my turtle they beat and then
2256s	good swarm Federation Hard Knock
2257s	citizens and lost to Esports Petopia so
2260s	they've had reasonable success in the
2262s	alliance tournament thus far forwards to
2263s	three losses let's take a look at their
2265s	opponents here and I just wanted to
2267s	quickly say regulio Smith I think did
2270s	excellent work in one of the previous
2271s	matches I just wanted to give him a
2272s	quick shout out nice so here's the big
2274s	yikes team a little bit less uh varied
2276s	so far as the newer team this year but
2278s	no less experienced Pilots KitKat the
2280s	captain with 11 matches played in
2282s	Alliance tournament uh they won against
2283s	hidden Leaf ninja Village and lost
2286s	against Brave Collective uh who dropped
2288s	them into this lower bracket here where
2290s	they are right now we can also look at
2292s	some of the top pilots in these teams
2293s	and see what they like to fly in let's
2295s	see if we can throw that up right now
2301s	okay we cannot throw that out right now
2302s	but I can tell you that uh there is a
2304s	flagship bar gas coming up in this next
2306s	match which should be super super
2307s	exciting
2309s	um mystical Mike what do you think we
2310s	can look forward to here
2312s	oh tricky question when there's so many
2315s	ships available in Eve online
2317s	um who can say
2319s	um I don't know big yikes I don't think
2321s	have really demonstrated that much depth
2322s	when it comes to their Theory crafting I
2325s	looked back at a couple of their
2326s	previous matches and they ran the same
2327s	thing twice they won with it and then
2330s	they lost with it so I'm wondering if
2331s	they're just going to bring the same
2332s	thing again maybe this is the extent of
2334s	their Theory crafting and it's just look
2336s	to crush the execution of it which is
2338s	what some teams do and it obviously gets
2340s	some people fairly far they are on the
2341s	second weekend now Within Reach of price
2343s	ships so it's not necessarily a bad
2345s	strategy but again if your opponent is
2348s	able to anticipate what you're going to
2349s	be bringing it does make it a little bit
2350s	harder to execute
2352s	um but yeah no idea what they're going
2353s	to bring
2355s	okay let's take a look at one of the
2356s	player graphs this is the flagship uh
2358s	and Captain
2359s	um of uh Deepwater Hooligans so this is
2362s	Dano I uh you see normally he likes to
2364s	fly in the larger ships we see the uh
2367s	apocalypse Navy issue the Absolution
2368s	typhoon Fleet issue at Golem he's a he's
2372s	a Chad Gollum pilot and an EOS uh wins
2375s	more often than he loses which is always
2376s	good and you can see he's been playing
2377s	for a bunch of Alliance tournaments so
2379s	very experienced pilot here at Deepwater
2381s	hilligans last couple of times and prior
2383s	to that Nelly and Good Fellas so this is
2386s	uh it's definitely someone who knows a
2387s	little bit what they are doing
2389s	okay I hear ships are landing on grid so
2391s	let's talk about our predictions at this
2393s	point though Mr Clement who are you
2394s	going to go for between big yikes and
2395s	Deepwater Hooligans uh hmm
2397s	I'm gonna have to go with big yikes here
2401s	big yikes and black Pirate no I'm going
2404s	with Deepwater Hooligans because that's
2405s	where my heart tells me to go
2407s	my heart hopes they lose well that makes
2410s	me want to also go for deep water
2412s	Hooligans to the mystical Knight is
2413s	wrong so uh let us go to the arena uh
2416s	for big yikes versus Deepwater Hooligans
2423s	and welcome back to the arena we have a
2425s	very interesting match obviously as said
2427s	by uh Mr overload that there is a flag
2429s	bug but it's in a very interesting comp
2431s	what do you think about this one Swift
2432s	uh yeah this is uh this is gonna be good
2435s	the old armor Bargas uh that's a real
2438s	thing uh the bark obviously gets quite a
2440s	lot of mid slots uh it is a very flimsy
2443s	ship though for your Flagship so we'll
2445s	see how Dano does this uh as the Dex
2448s	pointed out this guy has a ton of
2449s	experience in the alliance tournament uh
2451s	and kind of uh you know all eyes are
2454s	definitely going to be on him
2455s	interesting on the other side we have
2457s	another very honestly quite interesting
2458s	comp full projection Navy apoc Fleet
2460s	Tempest a starter Absolution comp so
2462s	there's a lot of uh DPS at range and
2466s	obviously a very good support Wing in
2467s	terms of t3ds and jacked on his football
2470s	so this is this is a very like I would
2471s	say DPS heavy comp but that attack bar
2473s	does not say that at all
2476s	oh yeah they should be actually
2477s	incredibly interesting uh obviously I we
2479s	kind of glossed over it but there's also
2480s	a battle going on the Deepwater Hulu
2482s	inside a lot of control out there uh you
2485s	can't fit officer webs or anything on
2486s	this thing or even faction webs so it's
2488s	just gonna be standard balgorn webs
2490s	there uh so they're gonna need those
2492s	people and uh flee vigil to kind of
2494s	tackle something in order for the
2496s	balgorn to kind of lock on and hold down
2498s	forever uh so we'll see how this goes uh
2500s	real quick uh keep an eye on the owners
2502s	for the Deepwater hooligan side I think
2504s	tamox is going to be put under quite a
2506s	lot of pressure here early on uh we'll
2508s	see
2509s	indeed indeed it's also very interesting
2511s	to see a bow go on top uh paired up with
2513s	a Bargas they're both kind of control
2514s	ships but on different sides of the
2515s	spectrum and they've just decided let's
2517s	just bring them both this is this is
2519s	fine
2520s	but as you said that our nearest is
2521s	definitely going to be the one that gets
2522s	uh probably pressured immediately by
2524s	these ranged battleships but we'll have
2526s	to see how many rep drones get thrown on
2527s	them to try and give them some more life
2528s	as the match is about to be underway
2530s	yeah also I want to shout out Deepwater
2532s	hula gigs who you'll see in Blue uh they
2534s	brought a Hound a bomber a lot of
2536s	battleships in this meta so uh huge
2539s	value there uh three points 600 damage
2541s	let's see if you can stay alive though
2545s	honestly I'm just watching a lot of
2546s	e-warp going out immediately I believe
2548s	the uh ejector from both sides have just
2550s	dumped out their uh their damps yep and
2553s	you can see the big Yanks team is
2555s	charging into the Deepwater Hooligans
2557s	team who are just kind of holding back
2558s	and waiting a little bit and as you
2560s	mentioned the support wings are the ones
2562s	going to be taking a lot of the damage
2564s	so far
2567s	just keeping an eye out on the jacket on
2568s	Triple demand looks like that's gonna be
2570s	the primary simple is being beaten up
2571s	quite handily at the moment
2574s	yeah tamox and the oneris is way back
2577s	there he is oh this vehicle just gets
2579s	deleted instantly gone there as soon as
2582s	the webs apply
2584s	I'm just double checking as well I
2585s	believe yep that is a rapid heavy Burger
2588s	so that with the webs from a bowel gone
2590s	is going to apply very well even to
2592s	these T3 destroyers so this could
2594s	obviously be a surprising amount of DPS
2596s	coming from this bug because I see that
2597s	tyrannos about to go down too yeah to
2600s	tyrannos was tackling uh tamoxa all the
2602s	way in the back lines there at least got
2603s	the initial tackle there uh but he just
2606s	way outplayed his the rest of his team
2608s	and they could not keep him alive no way
2611s	no how uh this big yags team uh is uh
2614s	just losing a little bit too much of the
2616s	support too quickly here uh on that
2618s	initial charge in an amazing working
2620s	well but by the uh balgorn and the
2622s	Bargas the balgorn has an Absolution
2624s	held down permanently and the burgers
2626s	has a starde held down which means
2628s	tomoksu can also just run away and be
2630s	safe while still repairing his uh his
2632s	friends there's obviously some great
2633s	screen went from the battleship of all
2635s	things yeah this is a super control team
2638s	here the the star day as you mentioned
2639s	abso Thalia they're all webbed down held
2642s	down and his Fleet temp is too he's just
2645s	scrammed with his heavy scram uh by this
2647s	bar guest so he is not going anywhere uh
2650s	this team is just being kept at arm's
2652s	length and they want to get in a little
2653s	bit closer but they just can't
2656s	yeah the Tempest Fleet can shoot and
2657s	he's not even being tracked but it
2659s	doesn't matter you can't do it on his
2660s	own you see actually he's tracking shop
2662s	is going to the Navy ipok enter the a
2664s	star day and to the episode so all those
2666s	ships are are kind of neutered at the
2668s	moment so the only [ __ ] that can really
2669s	fight back is the Tempest Fleet and
2670s	that's just not going to be enough
2671s	against an aniros this is well flown and
2674s	controlled by Deepwater Hooligans here
2675s	who are just dominating this match uh
2677s	BB's bbp's heart was right here it looks
2679s	like as the Thalia goes down deacons are
2682s	going to fall down with it really
2683s	quickly as it is painted by the sleet
2685s	visual uh webbed down nuded damp there's
2688s	nothing this poor Deacon can do
2690s	especially with his Thalia buddy down
2694s	I see some damage going to the bugs but
2696s	again I do not see them breaking through
2697s	this Flag bug under a neros reps that is
2700s	that is a very tall ask for a comp that
2703s	is rapidly losing teeth
2705s	yeah the Australia is also going down of
2707s	KitKat uh losing quite a lot of uh
2710s	damage here as he goes down uh no local
2713s	tank on this has started you could see
2714s	uh the defense bar would have a nice
2716s	little bit of purple if there was uh but
2718s	no p is just all buffer and damage uh
2721s	tracking disrupted uh he's not able to
2723s	apply anything here uh big yikes are
2726s	having a really hard time they're
2727s	chewing through the bar against a little
2729s	bit but I have a feeling deep water
2730s	hooligans are just kind of baiting uh
2733s	they're not really worried too much here
2735s	they've got full control of this grid
2738s	exactly and they've also got a lot of
2739s	newts in both the balgorn and the
2741s	utility hires of the Bargas so they are
2743s	constantly newting out this apoc Navy
2744s	and also the Absolution so they can't
2746s	shoot enough to actually kill this bug
2748s	as you see his armor is now going up so
2750s	honestly again even even on their High
2752s	slots they have got amazing control on
2754s	this team and are using it to the
2756s	absolute perfect effect
2758s	okay we didn't talk about this
2759s	stormbringer here on the Deepwater
2760s	hooligan side uh this is a ship they
2762s	brought last time and we kind of
2763s	questioned it a little bit but it is
2765s	incredibly tanky uh it's a shield uh
2768s	resistance bonus uh and also is great at
2771s	clearing some drones here uh and wow
2773s	just great Target calling on this
2775s	Deepwater hooligan side they've
2777s	systematically gone through every ship
2779s	that they need to uh they're jacked off
2781s	people uh and flee vigil are just kind
2784s	of working as their own separate unit
2786s	killing the big egg support team as it
2788s	comes through uh incredibly flown uh and
2791s	just well well executed
2794s	I'm having a bit of a giggle with myself
2795s	at the moment this storm bringer with a
2797s	shield bonus is being brought to an
2798s	armor comp and is still kicking butt
2804s	this is yeah this is just how what do
2806s	you say to this besides well done
2807s	Deepwater Horgan's well flown indeed the
2809s	Bargas are still holding comfortably
2810s	tamoxa was threatened at the start but
2813s	he flew his part perfectly as well as
2815s	his entire team like it is it looks like
2818s	it's entirely one-sided but it honestly
2820s	could have gone the other way with a few
2821s	maybe some potentially better flying
2822s	from Big yikes or some unlucky moments
2824s	with deep water it's it doesn't look
2827s	like even though it'll be a hundred zero
2828s	it was not a hundred zero at the start
2831s	it was looking a lot more uh
2833s	what would you say risky
2835s	yeah I could have been quite painful
2837s	there uh you know this is one of those
2838s	matches where you're like oh if I could
2840s	do this again here's what I would do and
2842s	maybe just if you have like uh best of
2844s	five there's an entire possibility that
2847s	the big eggs team can pull out the the
2849s	dub on that one but you only get one
2851s	chance in the alliance tournament uh
2853s	especially in the elimination bracket
2857s	so they're gonna have to unfortunately
2859s	exit on big yikes but for deep water
2861s	Hooligans these guys are will be a prize
2864s	ship enjoys with this win uh so they
2867s	just kind of squeaked into the top 16
2869s	now as they finish up the sleet Tempest
2872s	uh interestingly enough match is
2874s	completely over uh they're still playing
2875s	this one perfectly newting out the apoc
2878s	and killing the Tempest
2880s	um just a great execution
2883s	very much I also notice that there was a
2884s	tracking shopping both temples and the
2886s	Navy a plug they're not letting anything
2887s	happen at the last second they're being
2889s	very careful about it but this Tempest
2891s	Fleet is dying incredibly slowly so can
2893s	someone please just nude them out remove
2895s	his hardness please he's taking so long
2897s	to die
2898s	and you can see where they went for him
2900s	last there they knew that they could uh
2902s	keep these ships from applying their
2903s	damage uh onto their uh onto what they
2906s	need but
2908s	I wonder if someone's doing a little bit
2910s	of cheeky Looting of the field right now
2912s	so kind of just keeping him alive to do
2914s	a little bit of looting who knows this
2916s	is of course on Tranquility so all these
2919s	losses are are like of course real
2921s	losses and the loot does matter so you
2924s	know the flag bark it's not exploding so
2927s	no one needs to grab that loot but
2928s	everything else you know a few hundred
2930s	mil here and there it adds up
2933s	very true it looks like the Flag bug is
2934s	not finished reloading and it's finally
2936s	finished off this Tempest Fleet leaving
2937s	with just an apoc Navy hue I said like
2939s	last week The Vindicator hates when it's
2941s	being fully e-board down I think the
2943s	Epic Navy hates it more because he has
2945s	less tools to stop that from happening
2946s	knew that the guns can't even fire
2948s	that's just the super feels bad man like
2950s	you just can't do anything and you're
2952s	just stuck on grid and kind of saying
2955s	trying to maybe doubting yourself what
2956s	could I've done differently uh but
2959s	there's really nothing to do in this
2960s	match uh with the way it panned out uh
2963s	Christian moon in the Hound I'm sure
2965s	he's going to be top damage on a lot of
2967s	these battleships really well flown
2968s	there these ships are hard to keep alive
2970s	uh specifically when there's a jacked
2972s	off people tyrannis on the other side uh
2975s	expected that guy to take a little bit
2977s	more damage there but bam Navy apoc
2979s	explodes uh wing night at night we're
2982s	gonna send it back to the boys in the
2983s	booth uh where Bart's heart is going to
2986s	grow three sizes this day
2992s	[Music]
3008s	thank you
3012s	guys stop being casual they're really
3015s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
3017s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
3019s	everybody warp off this is a really
3021s	really bad execution I'm very
3022s	disappointed
3027s	another great hall back from Omar damn
3030s	I'm thirsty
3049s	Yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
3051s	collectively so that's why that Alliance
3054s	logo is in the game of course you could
3056s	change your alliance by leaving but that
3057s	would be kind of a jerk move that kind
3059s	of oh you don't like it now this Lego
3061s	sucks I'm gonna go join
3064s	foreign
3081s	exiting the tournament as deep water
3083s	Hooligans take that final spot in the
3086s	top 16 thus securing themselves some
3088s	prize ships in a very interesting match
3091s	they had it pretty much locked down from
3092s	the start we saw some interesting ship
3094s	choices on both teams and we saw the use
3097s	of a hound we haven't seen very many
3098s	stealth bombers this Alliance tournament
3099s	now usually they're a staple in the
3101s	tournament very low amount of points
3102s	very high DPS especially against
3104s	battleships mystical might why do you
3106s	think we're not seeing as many as we
3107s	have in previous years it seems like
3109s	teams are prioritizing control and
3111s	tackle a little bit more than just raw
3113s	damage from the lower end we are seeing
3115s	some jack doors coming out for example
3117s	some Steeples as we saw in this match
3118s	which double as effective damage boats
3121s	but also ships that you can send in to
3123s	actually pin down the enemy team the
3125s	reason that we might not be seeing some
3127s	of these stealth bombers a little bit
3128s	more I hypothesize at least is that
3130s	we're seeing a lot of Rush setups and
3133s	bombers are going to suffer greatly from
3134s	these setups because they aren't able to
3136s	go and attack with these Rush ships down
3138s	so it allows their full team to get on
3139s	top of you and then work their way
3141s	through your core so even though they do
3144s	a lot of damage not always the best
3145s	option to bring because it's fairly
3146s	risky leaves you open to uh yeah being
3149s	rushed Bart speaking of rushing we saw
3152s	that tyrannus there uh we kind of
3153s	expected him to just rush in for that
3155s	bomber and try and remove it especially
3156s	as big X brought a couple of battleships
3158s	for which uh the bombers will be
3159s	applying perfectly too but he ran in and
3162s	he tackled the unitos I think and it was
3163s	Euro pointing out that he's done it too
3165s	rarely that the team wasn't there to
3166s	capitalize on it like what was going on
3168s	there I think uh what was it it's like
3170s	the it's the over extension that
3172s	actually was an overextension not one
3174s	that kind of baited us into thinking it
3175s	so uh the trainous was going at about
3176s	close to 5 000 meters a second which is
3179s	very very fast compared to pretty much
3181s	every other ship on there because there
3182s	was you know heavy armor battleships uh
3185s	he just went straight for the nearest
3186s	tackled it immediately blew up and the
3188s	rest of his team was like 50 kilometers
3190s	behind so it was kind of like like you
3192s	said if you'd gone after the bomber
3193s	which is probably six to seven hundred
3195s	DPS maybe tried to solo PVP it down
3197s	stress out the logistics especially when
3198s	using Logistics frigates
3200s	that might have worked as uh much better
3201s	or just hung back and waited until his
3204s	other ships were in range because he he
3206s	did get the oniros tackle the oniros did
3208s	a great job
3209s	they're just with no follow-up so yeah
3211s	sometimes we see teams using uh suicide
3213s	tackle their job is to just run in hold
3215s	something down and survive long enough
3217s	before you inevitably die for the rest
3219s	of your ships to trundle in but if you
3221s	just get too far ahead of them then you
3223s	know that's not gonna work no one can
3224s	save you mystical might we also saw
3226s	another armored jackdaw not the most
3229s	common ship on TQ but very popular in
3231s	the tournament uh why would you bring an
3233s	armor Jack doll yeah so as mentioned an
3236s	armor Jack door does two things really
3238s	well I think one is that it is able to
3240s	project damage so it's a constant stream
3243s	of like missiles that come into pressure
3244s	either the lower end of the enemy team
3247s	especially useful if you are using a
3249s	thing like or if you're fighting against
3251s	something like a zom or logifrix because
3253s	having to make the decision on what you
3256s	rep is actually fairly difficult in
3257s	those two circumstances so they do
3259s	damage which is great and they project
3261s	it really far and the other thing that
3262s	they do really well is that they have a
3264s	lot of mids and if your armor fit you
3265s	can use those mids for things like
3267s	tracking disruptors or missile guidance
3269s	filters which means that you can
3270s	effectively shut down one or two of the
3272s	ships on the enemy team the only real
3274s	downside of an armor Jack door is that
3275s	if it gets shot it disappears so the
3278s	trick is to not get shot
3280s	and by disappears uh Bart do you think
3282s	he means cloaking no I don't I think he
3284s	means it explodifies
3286s	um but yeah like the other thing about
3288s	the arm projectile is when it goes into
3290s	defensive mode it has there's no bonus
3292s	to it it's like oh the signature gets
3293s	reduced a little bit so even if you fill
3296s	those two low slots with as much tank as
3299s	you possibly can yes sir it has no
3301s	chance so it's it actually becomes a
3303s	pretty piloting intensive one because
3304s	you have to be very aware of
3306s	where you are compared to the enemy but
3308s	uh I think especially with this new uh
3311s	with the changes allowing scripts it has
3313s	become even more powerful because now
3314s	those uh those stamps track and
3316s	disrupters whatever are like twice as
3318s	good
3319s	awesome now our next match is going to
3320s	be arrival versus Exodus so let's check
3323s	in with gentan and an interview with the
3325s	captain from Exodus
3327s	right so first of all can you just
3329s	introduce yourself to the audience both
3331s	who you are and what team you represent
3333s	uh yes uh I am a zaraxel Nightblade I'm
3336s	with a team Exodus I've been an eve
3339s	player since 2007 I'm currently the
3342s	captain of the at team this year and
3344s	I've been a member of Alliance since
3347s	2013.
3349s	so what do Exodus typically do on drug
3351s	quality outside of the tournament
3353s	apparently uh well currently we do a lot
3355s	of small gang uh PVP solo PVP not quite
3359s	as uh active as in the past uh most of
3363s	us
3364s	um have been playing for years and we
3366s	just really focused on the at
3369s	um that's when we become active and then
3371s	we go in our little holes uh when we are
3374s	not playing
3375s	um but uh mainly uh small gang PVP and
3379s	solo PVP
3380s	all right so what uh exodus's
3383s	competitive history have there been any
3385s	major results from the team in the past
3387s	um you know give us some idea of your
3389s	tournament pedigree of course
3391s	um you know exit that first uh played in
3393s	at-10
3395s	um and we've participated in every at
3397s	since then
3399s	um you know we have uh current members
3402s	of our alliancee team participate in
3404s	um the new in open tournament we also
3408s	had uh one of our members win the Mario
3411s	Championship says the name is awasa QC
3415s	um we actually took in account of our
3417s	team members and found that we have
3418s	almost 100 Years of at experience Among
3421s	Us
3422s	um eight of our T our team Corps members
3424s	have been in Exodus since uh the first
3428s	tournament run
3429s	we finished third in the first uh and
3433s	the second ATS we were part of you know
3435s	so 18 10 and 11. and then since then we
3438s	finished second and multiple times in
3440s	the top ten one year we didn't practice
3443s	at all
3444s	um and we finished in the top 12 which
3447s	was uh pretty fun uh we also uh we're
3451s	made aware of this uh I want to buy one
3454s	of our practice partners that among all
3457s	U.S teams Exodus uh has finished the
3461s	highest in history in ATS at second and
3464s	third
3465s	um the fact that we've never really even
3466s	considered representing n a yep
3468s	representing again a I can't believe Eve
3471s	is the only esport where n a is actually
3472s	good
3474s	big facts can you give me some idea of
3478s	where you would hope to or expect a
3480s	place within the alliance tournament you
3481s	know are you expecting to compete for
3483s	that top four this time or maybe you
3485s	would take the trophy itself
3487s	um I think that with the the group of
3489s	guys that we have this year
3491s	um and just uh the the general
3495s	atmosphere of the team
3498s	um
3498s	I think that we definitely have a very
3500s	good chance to get another top four
3502s	um as long as we uh don't uh beat
3506s	ourselves and do something uh stupid I
3508s	think we uh we should we should could
3511s	very well be competing for the top four
3517s	you're argentan talking to the captain
3519s	of Exodus a very experienced team uh
3522s	with a lot of Pilots I think he said was
3523s	it eight years or 100 years or something
3525s	that combined experience that's just
3527s	mind-boggling let's take a look at some
3529s	of the most experienced pilots in Exodus
3531s	and see what we can look at there
3534s	foreign
3535s	Maybe
3538s	there we go
3540s	all right so uh Walter Uber snow of
3542s	course now flying with truth honor light
3544s	I believe uh 61 matches uh when he flew
3547s	with Exodus that's uh that's something
3548s	in itself I'm pretty sure uh one of the
3551s	more experienced pilots in my Instagram
3552s	history right there uh and this this is
3554s	just a who's who of experience here
3556s	we've of course got a zaraxel there we
3558s	just heard from him uh nixar Mr Falcon
3561s	some amazing names in there anyone
3563s	jumping at you mystical knight uh I know
3566s	sabotage I think from my days back in
3567s	faction Warfare so it's nice to see that
3569s	he's been doing well with the 18 getting
3571s	involved I've seen him quite a bit it's
3573s	been years now since we flew together
3575s	um yeah I mean next door as well or two
3578s	personal like you said a few members
3579s	there that have left Exodus and moved on
3581s	to other teams
3583s	um and they've also had good runs as
3584s	well with those teams so really high
3586s	school Pilots I'm a big fan of uh Snow's
3588s	win rate there uh is a solid solid
3591s	number
3593s	um let's look at the bands for this
3594s	upcoming match
3598s	so a rival choosing to ban the arthrus
3601s	oh I can see myself again hello uh the
3603s	Arthur is the caracal Navy issue the bar
3605s	guest X to spanning out the Nighthawk
3607s	the Bargas the Armageddon and then the
3609s	trickle bands we have an osprey and a
3611s	curse uh Blackberry pirate what do you
3613s	make of this I think that a arrival has
3616s	finally done something that I have been
3617s	suggesting for like at least three ATS
3620s	now which is Ban kaldari kaidi type
3623s	stuff out against Exodus and also thanks
3627s	to the current modern meta that we're
3628s	starting to see the orthos and the
3630s	caracal Nation the issue are both like
3631s	key ships for the Calgary rush so
3634s	somebody finally actually studied their
3636s	playbook and was like ah we think we
3638s	have a way to defeat them
3640s	um
3641s	yeah they're just very very smart and
3642s	then the Osprey as well is like kind of
3644s	key to these calorie Rush setups because
3645s	it's so few points but still reps very
3647s	very hard so I I really like arrival's
3650s	plans they definitely thought about this
3651s	and uh
3653s	yeah just just really really good play
3654s	on their part mystiko yeah I just wanted
3657s	to add that uh one of the talking points
3659s	that I had about arrival as a team is
3661s	that they seem to actually go back
3663s	through and watch some of the matches
3664s	that their opponents have played and
3665s	then try and put their band strategy
3667s	together based on what they've actually
3668s	shown so with truth on a light as an
3670s	example they banned the exact Navy issue
3672s	which is I think the first and only
3673s	exact Navy Band that we've seen maybe
3675s	there's been one or two other ones
3677s	um but it's interesting because it shows
3679s	that they're actually taking the
3679s	interest in understanding what the
3681s	matter of the other team is instead of
3683s	just assuming that everyone shares the
3685s	same understanding of what's good and
3686s	what's not excellent uh well it's time
3688s	to find out you know can arrival pull
3690s	one over on Exodus or will Exodus try
3692s	and rise to the top
3694s	um being one of the first n a teams
3696s	potentially to win the alliance
3696s	tournament itself
3698s	um let's go to the arena and find out
3706s	and welcome to the arena and we have of
3708s	course arrival versus access and we have
3710s	a very interesting match with a um
3711s	honestly it looks like a bit of a uh
3713s	kite Rush maybe versus Battleground Navy
3715s	apoc this is very interesting what do
3717s	you think about this one uh
3718s	Swift I think it's crazy that arrival
3722s	are almost a three to one Underdog here
3723s	uh as you mentioned they've got the
3725s	Claymores up there Loki uh double Navy
3727s	Osprey this is definitely going to be a
3729s	nice little uh Rush team over here
3731s	against Exodus taking in a bad Navy apoc
3734s	balgorn core
3736s	that is uh that is definitely a bunch of
3739s	tanky boys uh sitting right up there uh
3742s	augmented by an arbitrator Confessor
3744s	crucifier and Punisher so a lot of uh
3746s	missile guidance disruptors potentially
3748s	uh we'll see how this plays out
3750s	yeah it's a very heavy core indeed just
3752s	checking around the ships at the moment
3753s	seeing if the slept near it would be
3756s	artillery for some reason it's not but
3757s	you know I can hope
3759s	um yeah this is going to be very
3760s	interesting to see how this match uh
3761s	develops but there's a very heavy core
3763s	from Exodus that's going to be a pain to
3765s	break even with the rivals big massive
3766s	chunk of DPS yeah and they're actually
3768s	fairly close to one another here so uh
3770s	probably a little bit of Advantage uh to
3772s	arrival we see their Navy Osprey is
3774s	already webbed down by this Exodus
3776s	belgorne and he's going to be deleted
3778s	off the field here let's see how fast
3779s	they can apply that damage
3782s	it's pretty good at the moment I'm
3784s	waiting to see if it slows down but
3786s	they're actually kicking his butt real
3787s	hard right now and these of course the
3788s	uh apoc Navy and Abaddon can apply at
3790s	range so as long as he's whipped they
3792s	can apply them as a Punisher is getting
3794s	absolutely ripped open but he actually
3796s	managed to survive maybe yeah he's hold
3798s	he's old at 15 structure uh easy uh that
3801s	you only need a little bit of structure
3803s	right so he's totally fine and we see
3805s	wasik you've seen now taking quite a bit
3807s	of damage here uh on the Exodus side uh
3810s	he is right up in there
3812s	uh but now it looks like he might be
3814s	trying to save himself a little bit uh I
3816s	think this is probably one of the most
3817s	individually skilled pilots in the
3819s	tournament uh so let's see how long he
3820s	can last if he can Outlast uh for this
3822s	Navy Osprey who is slowly about to enter
3825s	armor here quickly about the Under Armor
3827s	here
3827s	being the intelligent polynes he's
3829s	currently in defensive mode which makes
3830s	that Confessor even harder to kill as
3832s	you see he's now sitting at 100 armor
3834s	and not moving as Osprey Navy is now
3836s	going through armors they are starting
3837s	to punch through the ship and that will
3839s	start swinging this match towards
3840s	exodus's way yeah one of the things you
3843s	can't see here is the arrival dot uh
3845s	they have a cloud or at least had a
3847s	cloud of light Shield maintenance spots
3849s	uh that The Exodus support Wing was
3851s	actually shooting off there uh so that's
3853s	where you saw the kind of the damage die
3854s	there a little bit more uh Claymore and
3856s	slept here are pinned down oh my gosh
3859s	this Exodus team uh maybe they are maybe
3862s	a rival should have been a three to one
3864s	Underdog but we'll see as another Navy
3866s	Osprey is pinned down here uh this guy
3869s	is double webbed uh larynx is not moving
3871s	anywhere and this battleborn Navy apoc
3873s	and abandon are going to throw their em
3876s	damage right into his face it's not
3878s	going to be pretty to be a Navy Osprey
3879s	on this day it looks like a rival is not
3882s	committing fully and trying to kill the
3883s	balgorn the Battleground is obviously
3884s	very tanky and they've got a reactive
3885s	arm hardener but then again they've got
3887s	missiles so they can fire the rainbow
3889s	with this guy but that is not going to
3890s	change anything he is tanking incredibly
3893s	well his newts aren't really going to
3895s	hurt anything on the grid except for
3897s	maybe removing their tank but he you
3899s	just they just don't have the DPS to
3900s	make this work
3901s	I love the confidence of Mr Falcon here
3903s	in the Punisher uh when you are flying
3906s	around with like 30 structure maybe your
3908s	instinct is to kind of hide in the
3909s	background he is not having a background
3911s	look at the Auger the auger's been held
3914s	down now he's being absolutely pounded
3915s	that's going to be their logic gone and
3917s	maybe they can break this bar they need
3919s	this may potentially go for another big
3920s	ship or maybe go for the lodgy trade now
3922s	because they they are now on a timer oh
3925s	my gosh a Rivals are swinging this one
3927s	back here with that auger trade uh they
3928s	still have their cement are sure he's
3930s	being neuted down uh but he is being
3932s	neuted down by the Bal Gordon newts so
3934s	he should be able to kind of get some
3935s	reps off here and there uh as we see a
3938s	speeple is now tackled on the arrival
3939s	Dart side uh let's see how these guys
3941s	respond they're gonna have to clear off
3942s	all the tackle that's clipping their
3944s	Claymore and slept near down then they
3946s	have to start moving around there's a
3947s	unit
3949s	I think they're going to recommit to the
3951s	Berglund yep I'm already seeing the
3952s	low-key back on the balglin now just
3954s	keeping an eye out for the other ones
3955s	and I think they're going to fully
3956s	commit this but we're going to try and
3957s	get one of these big ships down the
3959s	Belgium is probably the biggest uh
3961s	biggest Center of uh control for Exodus
3963s	on this grid right now
3965s	Scimitar look at the Timmy Simmy is now
3968s	tackled uh all right Exodus ice water in
3971s	their veins saying hey we got that logic
3973s	trade we can do this they're about to
3975s	lose their Magus which is going to be a
3976s	lot of their links uh but the semi for
3978s	arrival is now tackled uh let's see if
3981s	the apron gets tackled by
3983s	The Punisher
3985s	Mr Falcon MVP of this match if Exodus
3989s	can kind of take this one back uh riding
3991s	with nobelaji a sliver of structure left
3994s	uh pinning down linchpin ship after
3997s	linchpin ship this Scimitar is dropping
3999s	Exodus are pulling this one back uh just
4002s	a back and forth match here you see the
4005s	Scimitar is repping he has an xlasb he's
4008s	got nine charges that can go up and down
4010s	so when you see it just every time it
4011s	goes up count and as soon as nine is
4013s	over then it's gonna start dropping he's
4016s	doing his joke because he's buying time
4017s	as his team has now killed the bowel
4019s	gone and they are starting to slowly
4021s	maybe call this back if he can survive
4022s	just a little bit longer he can buy his
4024s	team that extra bit of time they can
4025s	maybe start working on maybe the apoc
4027s	Navy and start breaking apart the DPS
4029s	core here this could honestly flip to a
4031s	rival's way even with a scimitar loss
4033s	yeah and we see this uh it looks like
4035s	Wasa was trying to kill this flycatcher
4037s	here oh Mr Falcon finally goes down no
4041s	oh my gosh all right I mean this is
4044s	incredibly back and forth here uh this
4046s	is almost a dead even heat uh arrival
4049s	still have their DPS Coral alive Exodus
4051s	have two of three uh now it's just uh
4054s	decision making what are you gonna do
4055s	are you gonna take out the support Wing
4057s	that's what Exodus wants to do uh they
4059s	just killed a jackdaw from the
4061s	arrival.team uh as a rival a kind of
4064s	working on this abandon they say who
4066s	cares about the small ships let's kill
4068s	the big boys get them off the field now
4070s	uh my gosh that will be the center of
4072s	this match for them at the moment they
4073s	can see obviously they're all right on
4074s	zero and but something is loaded hail
4076s	this claim was probably firing rage they
4078s	are putting everything into this Abaddon
4080s	I was confused while they're going for
4081s	the Abaddon first but turns out the apoc
4083s	Navy is actually quite a distance away
4084s	so they had to go for this guy which is
4086s	not not usually the best of cools but
4088s	his armor is not that much like he's
4091s	taking massive chunks
4093s	yeah generally when you see an abandon
4094s	you don't want to uh to shoot it so
4096s	maybe he kind of baited a little bit uh
4098s	we see Exodus kind of swapping their
4099s	strategy over they say yeah we don't
4101s	need the the small ships let's try and
4103s	get the logic or DPS trade going uh
4106s	they're shooting
4107s	yeah oh my gosh handsy babes uh in the
4111s	slept near is very tanky a very high
4112s	game resist I think he's gonna Outlast
4114s	this a badon though
4116s	Slipknot loss thing in Abaddon this
4117s	should not be the case in any world the
4120s	other one is now going through
4121s	structuring he's going to go down before
4122s	the slept near and this is honestly a
4124s	painful blow for Exodus the Rival core
4127s	still exists and their slipper is still
4128s	holding and all they've got left now
4130s	really is an apoc Navy for real damage
4133s	my got a rivalry doing it oh this is
4136s	great uh the slept near uh is still
4138s	tanking of handsy babes uh let's see
4141s	what they're gonna go for next obviously
4143s	they can now break off if they want to
4145s	start clearing off some of this tackle
4146s	uh they have a lot of control on vitones
4149s	Navy apoc so it's not too worried and
4151s	that's exactly what they're doing uh
4152s	Washington QC is now tackled they're
4154s	going to try and uh clear up some of
4156s	this uh back end here and survive a
4158s	little bit uh just both teams going back
4162s	and forth back and forth uh incredible
4164s	match
4166s	and most of the slip new is now tanking
4168s	comfortably he's actually run away from
4171s	the um from the Navy apoc and is also
4173s	the neighborhood's been tracking shop so
4174s	they can't even shoot him so that slip
4175s	near Will Survive relays xlasb can go
4178s	straight back in this is honestly a
4180s	surprising Victory from a rival who
4182s	honestly I think they've got this
4183s	completely I think you're right a handsy
4185s	and that's left near uh he's reloaded
4187s	his ASB were in the process of reloading
4189s	so that's why he's kind of out in no
4190s	man's land here doing a little bit
4191s	damage uh clearing off some of the
4193s	smaller ships uh but Exodus they're not
4195s	throwing in the towel uh they want to
4197s	keep this one going they think they've
4198s	got a pretty good chance to win here uh
4200s	so they're just clearing off a little
4202s	bit more of the back end going after the
4203s	caracal
4205s	yeah
4207s	picked that Target a lot earlier like
4209s	these T1 Cruisers are very easy to kill
4212s	and they honestly provide a good amount
4213s	of DPS this kind of comp I think you
4215s	might maybe kind of rip apart the uh DPS
4217s	that you can but it's a little late
4219s	unfortunately but they might maybe be
4220s	able to kill something else
4222s	oh look I mean if I invite someone right
4225s	now I am flipping my desk I have been
4227s	pinned down this entire match damped or
4230s	tracking disrupted unable to shoot
4232s	anything at all uh what a frustrating
4235s	thing this must be to be the one guy
4237s	singled out uh you see the Claymore and
4239s	something right now playing and laying
4240s	into him uh as the Loki is kind of going
4242s	around uh webbing anything he can and
4245s	shooting it uh mag is about to go down
4247s	Navy apocal down arrival showing that
4249s	they shouldn't have been three to one
4250s	thugs uh get some respect on that name
4253s	uh they're going to knock Exodus out
4255s	here
4257s	like this is honestly the surprise of
4260s	the entire day for me I don't think
4261s	we're gonna be our top there's X's being
4262s	taken out by arrival in a match I
4264s	honestly look like it was going exodus's
4265s	way at the start but that clutch uh
4267s	lodgy trade for arrival just really just
4269s	put them into the driver's seat and they
4271s	just they capitalize immediately I know
4272s	I was gushing over a Punisher uh while
4275s	watching an auger getting uh pinned down
4277s	or just glassing with my dog or getting
4279s	pinned down glad I'm joined by you
4280s	Wingnut uh for catching that one uh that
4283s	was the pivotal moment of this match I
4285s	mean it was back and forth back and
4286s	forth but as soon as that auger went
4288s	down uh just huge huge uh win for
4292s	arrival that was just really well played
4295s	Exodus though they didn't Panic they got
4297s	the logic trade uh but you know
4299s	composure arrival nailed that battleborn
4302s	nailed that abaddin kept the Navy apoc
4305s	pinned down uh and now they're just uh
4307s	reaping the rewards of that composure uh
4310s	congratulations to a rival thought uh
4313s	taking down Exodus apparently the N.A
4315s	Kings I had no idea uh so long
4322s	so I'm just going to piss off all the
4323s	North American viewers here and it's
4325s	just the most gold medals of anyone in
4327s	the alliance tournament just dropping
4328s	that out there uh it might not be a real
4331s	yeah that I could have just made that up
4332s	we'll never know uh uh pontifex going
4335s	down by then Tessie arrival get that
4339s	sigh of relief my gosh their hands must
4342s	be shaken here uh this was as we were
4344s	saying back and forth back and forth all
4347s	match long I think I'm gonna watch this
4348s	one again I'm actually gonna leave after
4350s	this just to watch this match again uh
4352s	let's find CCB Castro to uh to kind of
4355s	take over the Reigns uh what an amazing
4358s	amazing match very much all the guys in
4361s	chat saying uh good Flats as well the
4363s	match is now over so thank you very much
4364s	to Exodus for an amazing match
4366s	unfortunately you are out but with that
4368s	we'll head back to studio and see what
4369s	they think
4373s	[Music]
4389s	thank you
4397s	Sonos up
4418s	pump it up a little more get the party
4421s	going on the Dance Floor
4447s	foreign
4455s	there with a hard-fought victory over
4458s	Exodus who are now eliminated from
4460s	Alliance tournament 18. the interview
4462s	curse continues uh pretty much every
4464s	time we play a captain's interview they
4467s	immediately get eliminated from the
4469s	tournament uh so apologies there uh
4471s	there's some some poor lazy script
4473s	writing from from the team here in the
4475s	back uh but wow I mean arrival played
4478s	that super super well uh that could have
4480s	gone many different ways they could have
4481s	lost that many different ways the the
4483s	one with bands essentially the the
4485s	forced uh XS to bring something that
4487s	they maybe weren't as comfortable with
4488s	they brought their own counter to that
4490s	and then they just executed it super
4491s	well we saw some amazing piloting by all
4494s	those team members to to pull that
4495s	Victory off we also wanted to shout out
4497s	to Mr Falcon on The Exodus team because
4499s	he was in The Punisher and he went
4500s	flying in got tackled on something and
4502s	then started to die pretty quickly he
4504s	was unable to extract himself get back
4506s	out of damage room range get reps and
4509s	then reposition and come back in and get
4510s	tackle on the Scimitar of howling wind
4512s	to enable his team to take down that
4514s	Scimitar and put them back into Fighting
4515s	Chance one of the most experienced
4518s	Pilots we can see here he's flown in a
4520s	bunch of matches 23 wins to 15 losses
4523s	which is a pretty good ratio obviously
4525s	flying for Exodus all the way back here
4526s	to Alliance tournament 10
4528s	um flying in a bunch of different
4529s	tournaments flying a bunch of different
4530s	ships usually the smaller ships the high
4532s	scale ships sometimes the nearest a
4534s	bunch of them a bunch of basilisks and
4536s	then a whole bunch of people's so he we
4538s	were very impressed with his pile thing
4539s	in that particular match uh
4541s	unfortunately we won't see him again
4542s	because he is eliminated but well done
4544s	you good job
4546s	um so mystical might we saw the slept
4548s	near of arrival uh starting to Boost
4551s	after that Scimitar went down and you
4553s	were sitting here and you were counting
4555s	boost charges as it was happening walk
4556s	me through what you were looking for
4557s	yeah so one of the things that we'll
4560s	typically see with ships like the slept
4562s	near and the Claymore because there are
4563s	active tank bonuses they'll usually have
4565s	an extra large ASB fit which allows them
4567s	to self-sustain their tank for a short
4570s	time and when ASB is an ancillary Shield
4572s	booster which uses cap Chargers to give
4575s	you back your Shields without using your
4577s	own capacitor now when those cap charges
4580s	run out because there's only a limited
4582s	amount in these asbs it then starts
4584s	using your ship's capacitor to regen
4586s	your Shields it's extremely expensive
4589s	cap wise so it's not something that
4591s	really can be sustained once those
4592s	charges are gone which is why I was
4594s	counting to see how many charges he had
4596s	already used because that gives us an
4598s	idea of how much more tank he's actually
4599s	got left remaining to him and it was a
4602s	race between killing that abaddin and
4604s	whether that slept now was going to die
4606s	before then once the abandon goes down
4608s	though sleptner is pretty free to burn
4610s	away reload that Shield booster because
4612s	you can reload it it just takes a really
4614s	long time so you can't really do it in
4616s	combat
4617s	awesome and uh I'm told by the
4619s	production team we have a Graphic uh for
4621s	you some hard-hitting deep analysis of
4623s	the alliance tournament let's see let's
4625s	see if we can throw that up and take a
4627s	look at it
4630s	so this is the win rate after uh playing
4632s	the interviews for the teams
4635s	um as you can see here not very many
4636s	wins in fact I would call that a goose
4638s	egg e0 zero wins for teams after playing
4641s	interviews so if you have been
4643s	interviewed by Jin tan and you don't
4644s	want us to play it then perhaps perhaps
4648s	reach out
4649s	it will cost you you know incidentally I
4652s	believe that uh Volta has an interview
4654s	with I've already deleted it just and
4656s	Truth honor light does not I I have made
4659s	one I I pretended to be Dexter and I did
4662s	the interview myself ah perfect
4664s	excellent play it whenever we're ready
4667s	um
4668s	let's look at our next uh next match now
4670s	which is nanofiber tokens versus root
4672s	Capel and have a look at the bands for
4673s	that one
4675s	so nanofiber tokens Banning out the bar
4677s	gas the Loki and the balgorn whereas
4679s	Rook Capel Banning out Scimitar
4681s	Blackbird and EOS uh Blackberry pirate
4684s	what are you seeing here well
4685s	interestingly enough I believe this is
4687s	actually the same bands that road Capel
4689s	has used several times now
4691s	um so uh they are clearly not adjusting
4693s	them based on their opponent they just
4695s	don't want to see scimitars blackbirds
4697s	and eoses I don't think we've seen a lot
4699s	of Blackbird play we did see that one uh
4701s	kind of disgusting one by Darkseid as
4703s	their potentially trump card of magic
4706s	Jam just spread everywhere and making
4708s	the game hard to play but uh nanofiber
4710s	tokens one is a little bit more
4711s	interesting
4712s	um I don't understand bargasbands
4714s	because we're really only seeing them as
4716s	flagships which can in fact evade the
4718s	ban uh though the Loki and the
4720s	Battleground are starting to become very
4721s	very standard
4722s	um again have opinions on balgorns but
4724s	you know maybe I'm wrong even though we
4726s	just saw one feed really hard who knows
4729s	who knows and um I think we have some
4731s	graphics for the teams as well so let's
4733s	see if we can throw up the root Capel
4734s	team graphic and take a closer look at
4736s	them
4738s	so Rockpile 94 Pilots that flown with
4740s	them over the years a whole bunch of
4741s	veterans uh flying in this team pretty
4744s	good pretty good ratio of winning uh to
4746s	not winning which is kind of what we
4748s	like to see
4749s	um they've won recently against Rusty
4751s	heinous Clan and Arcos core losing
4753s	against Volta and Hydra and also beating
4755s	Volta recently as well so this is a this
4757s	is a solid team like definitely not to
4759s	be discounted
4760s	um I know lady labia a very experienced
4763s	pilot flown uh in many Alliance
4765s	tournaments also been a desk Caster over
4767s	in Iceland at some previous Alliance
4769s	tournaments uh many many years gone so
4771s	again very experienced team another U.S
4773s	time zone team I believe so we'll see if
4776s	they do well at all Nano fiber tokens
4778s	bit more uh of a newer team in terms of
4781s	the core experience but the pilots
4783s	themselves obviously uh relatively
4785s	experienced and the astronaut with seven
4787s	rounds played and reasonably good uh
4789s	good ratio here two to one uh beating
4791s	both pandemic Legion and Esports Petopia
4793s	and just dropping to the losers bracket
4794s	against Odin's call who had a top eight
4796s	run last year so very respect to be
4799s	dropped down by them so Mr Gourmet who's
4801s	going to be this time nanofiber tokens
4803s	are rocker pal hmm
4805s	I'm gonna have to go with a rote I'm
4808s	gonna I'm gonna put my Caster curse upon
4809s	them and we'll see whether they can
4811s	break it Blackboard pirate I am also
4814s	going with throat because I am a
4815s	mademoiselle enjoyer
4817s	I am a Mademoiselle spammer so I will
4819s	also be going for Road Coppell so let's
4821s	go to the reader and find out who can
4822s	win for nanofiber tokens versus Road
4824s	Coppell
4830s	and welcome to the arena with nft versus
4832s	uh Road Capel we have a very interesting
4834s	match coming up ahead we have twin Navy
4836s	armageddon's versus what I believe is a
4839s	coyote Nighthawk uh comp what do you
4840s	think about this one zitonia
4842s	uh I'm really excited for this one uh
4845s	it's nice to see the new Armageddon Navy
4847s	issues on the field that were recently
4848s	buffed uh just uh last week
4854s	good timing for the buff indeed uh it's
4857s	gonna be very interesting I'm taking a
4858s	look at what weapons they've got I
4859s	believe yep they are rapid heavy
4861s	armageddon's again so luckily they did
4863s	not verse any ECM here because that
4864s	could have really broken their Clips up
4866s	Meanwhile we're seeing a triple BC plus
4869s	uh French full-on support uh DPS support
4872s	sorry comp from throat so I suspect
4874s	they're gonna run away what do you think
4876s	are these uh I think they are rapid
4878s	Heavies aren't they uh I'm sorry yeah
4881s	on the uh offer us on the on the
4884s	Nighthawks they look like hams to me oh
4886s	no I haven't had a chance to look at the
4887s	author so I just looked at the knife oh
4889s	no tell me this is a ham sandwich
4893s	it that might okay this is gonna be very
4895s	interesting then so they're going to
4896s	potentially Rush oh
4899s	okay so uh that everything's out the
4901s	window now boys
4903s	I could be completely wrong though they
4905s	could be uh HML as uh uh let's take
4908s	they're definitely put lights they're
4909s	definitely not rapid lights they're
4910s	either HML or ham I can't tell which so
4913s	uh okay here we go for The Party Starts
4916s	Now
4920s	okay yeah looking at what they said in
4922s	local saying witness me this is
4924s	definitely a ham rush I don't need to
4927s	look at the ships anymore no that's a
4928s	ham Rush 10 seconds to a match underway
4929s	we're gonna watch them go running and
4931s	screaming I think
4932s	yeah who do you think is going to have
4934s	the edge here because like these uh I'm
4936s	again Navy issues they have the bonus
4938s	new range that you can mute out pretty
4939s	well but they're not really going to
4941s	shut down like the weapon systems and
4944s	the offices
4946s	there's too much damage look at that
4948s	look at that attack bar from rote
4950s	there's not a single blast shipped here
4951s	and the attack bar is girthy the control
4953s	buffer 905 tokens is quite nice but
4955s	unfortunately I think once they get on
4957s	top of these battleships it's not going
4958s	to matter
4959s	actually see damage onto an arbitrator
4961s	first just keeping an eye on targets
4963s	yeah no there we go they're going on to
4964s	kante in the Army and the Armageddon
4966s	Navy and just watch how fast this guy's
4968s	gonna go down
4969s	Jack door verdeck is already gone
4971s	however Road capella are in now they're
4973s	putting some DPS on compassos uh failure
4976s	we're also seeing a bit of DPS go on to
4978s	the Sentinel as well where it looks like
4980s	uh Hall County is the main Primary in
4982s	the armaged Navy issue there's a lot of
4984s	split damage here for some reason though
4986s	you're not sure what's going on there I
4988s	I'll just keep an eye who's shooting the
4990s	failure
4991s	I think fairly is just uh DPS drones on
4994s	him at the moment that is not split DPS
4995s	that is just a drone way when the valley
4997s	forcing his uh teammate to try and save
4999s	him
5001s	uh psycho hexanals uh office is down now
5004s	but Hawaii Kanti is in half armor that
5006s	navitus as well can passo is also pretty
5008s	low it's really interesting I think it's
5010s	forcing the uh Deacon of Andy astronaut
5013s	either to save the Thalia or like don't
5016s	just don't rep her the Armageddon Navy
5018s	issue which has just five ham ships
5019s	shooting it so that's a pretty a pretty
5022s	interesting tactic it looks like it's
5023s	working for them kind of right now
5025s	though
5026s	interesting thing it was that the rapid
5028s	heavy says managed to kill off the uh
5029s	authors of cyclone but I think the
5032s	Osprey they should be able to say the
5033s	Osprey Navy and then these all these
5035s	armaged names will have to reload
5036s	whereas the ham sandwich will not reload
5038s	it will just keep on pounding the ship
5039s	as they do take down the Thalia so they
5041s	have broken half of the lodgy frigates I
5043s	suspect they'll put the drones on the
5045s	Deacon perhaps or maybe on the
5046s	Armageddon Navy
5048s	yeah so now the uh now the navitus is
5050s	down it looks like any astronaut is
5051s	going to have the drones on him and they
5053s	will be able to get through this Deacon
5054s	probably but have they lost too much at
5057s	this point I mean they still do have two
5059s	Nighthawk strike Navy they're two
5060s	caracal navies and the Osprey but they
5062s	have lost like a lot of their DPS now I
5065s	do think they're gonna kill the armaged
5066s	Navy issue probably the Deacon but
5068s	they're probably gonna lose at least the
5069s	character Navy issue I think before the
5071s	Armageddon Navy goes down
5073s	they might lose character Navy I was
5074s	surprised they managed to get through
5075s	the Osprey Navy before but um honestly
5077s	if they get rid of the Armageddon maybe
5078s	they might be able to hold there because
5080s	they still got their Osprey on grid who
5082s	was definitely helping him out he's
5083s	getting neutered a little bit but you
5085s	should better keep wrapping his team at
5086s	the moment but I keep saying that and
5088s	then things keep dying can you please
5089s	stop Elmo please don't die the armaged
5092s	Navy goes down to another down to one
5093s	left
5094s	as Elmo's about to die he's already in
5096s	Hull
5099s	which we'll get rid of all of the
5101s	logistics from the nft side we still
5105s	have Chadwick alive he's not going to
5107s	get reps anymore but he's probably gonna
5108s	at least take down at least a character
5110s	Navy possibly something else down before
5112s	he dies I imagine and then it's going to
5115s	be damnation next to Navy issue versus
5117s	two Nighthawks potentially in an osprey
5121s	sounds like the Vixen Navy tried to go
5123s	over to kill off the Osprey I believe
5124s	he's actually just new to him at the
5126s	moment which double check that
5127s	yeah it looks like the vaccine Navy is
5129s	actually newting the Osprey out the sky
5131s	Breakers trying to scream off but
5133s	nothing he can do about that so it's
5135s	going to be a race now the Osprey Navy
5136s	is not out of the fight but he's pretty
5138s	close so now it's just going to be a
5140s	race between Chadwick and well honestly
5142s	most of the uh Road Coppell team
5145s	yeah it's really interesting that the
5146s	Vex and navy she doesn't have any drones
5148s	at all I mean that's probably one of the
5150s	main upgrades from going from a vexer to
5151s	a vaccine issue right it's getting those
5153s	uh Stronger medium hybrid turret uh
5156s	damage bonus as well as the tracking
5160s	Sentinel goes down that's actually going
5162s	to help quite a bit these Nighthawks
5163s	probably been gimped the entire match
5165s	their application being hurt by the uh
5167s	Sentinel so maybe they start putting out
5170s	even more damage you see the Drake Navy
5171s	being shot next shadwick's doing great
5173s	work picking off the better DPS but less
5175s	tank ships slow but surely ripping this
5178s	team apart at the end it might just be
5179s	two Nighthawks versus a Navy Armageddon
5181s	if he can survive long enough but I
5183s	don't think he will I think they're
5184s	going to break through Chadwick here and
5186s	that there is honestly going to be the
5187s	end of the match I think because what
5188s	DPS does Benefiber tokens have left
5192s	they do still have the damnation and the
5194s	vaccinated issue but as you uh pointed
5196s	out the vaccinated issue is a full new
5198s	fit so he doesn't have turret DPS he
5200s	only has drone DPS there's like 400 DPS
5202s	and the damnation is probably about 600
5204s	so yeah the Armageddon Navy issue is
5206s	gone Alice is about to go down as well
5208s	but it is still two Nighthawks and an
5210s	osprey although the Osprey might be
5212s	neuted out at this point but I think to
5214s	Nighthawk speeds of a damnation and a
5216s	Vex Navy issue and an arbitrary honesty
5218s	yeah even if the Osprey was dead I think
5220s	they'd still have us with two Nighthawks
5221s	that is a lot of tank and great DPS
5223s	platforms all you have to do is kill for
5225s	damnation the next Navy in their match
5226s	is entirely over the Alice is slowly
5228s	dying in the direct maybe he's done his
5230s	job in survival if the pontifex just got
5232s	deleted holy crap
5237s	well now they're doing damage to the
5238s	osprey
5240s	yeah so it doesn't matter it is a ham
5243s	damnation so it is going to have some
5244s	DPS but damnations are still probably
5247s	only putting out maybe 600 DPS total
5249s	Nighthawks are probably doing about
5251s	double his DTS they are taking down the
5254s	Osprey now though um which is
5256s	interesting uh the vaccinations yeah
5260s	like I think he was probably knitted out
5261s	to be honest with the Vex Navy issue on
5262s	him
5264s	also he said it's a ham damnation right
5265s	so it's a ham Nation
5267s	thank you thank you I feel very smart
5270s	for saying what someone else has
5271s	probably said a thousand times
5274s	yeah as long as you don't make any jokes
5276s	about one of the my whole character
5278s	names
5278s	[Laughter]
5281s	I don't want to get myself kicked out so
5283s	I'm gonna keep my mouth shut on that
5285s	they are slowly killing off the Osprey
5287s	but I don't think it's going to do
5287s	anything of them at the moment these no
5289s	hooks are just gonna honestly just
5290s	dominate this match from this point
5291s	onwards
5293s	is there an angle where uh where the nft
5297s	team can maybe kite it out like the
5299s	arbitrator of vaccine issue don't have
5300s	to be at zero they can just put drones
5302s	on people and sort of burn away maybe
5304s	extend the match with an mjd Beacon and
5307s	try and take down one of The Nighthawks
5309s	although in a word no because a
5311s	skybreaker is still on grit and there's
5313s	a great tackle ship in this scenario
5315s	yeah and the damnation is also tackled
5317s	and I think even if the Vex and navy and
5319s	the arbitrator cut away the damnation is
5321s	tackled so it's gonna die and I the next
5325s	Navy issue an arbitrator are less points
5326s	than one of The Nighthawks so
5330s	yeah it looks like yeah well done to
5332s	broke Pell here uh Nighthawk Rush lives
5334s	on except it's not going to rush without
5336s	the usual support
5337s	we saw no Loki no hyena these basically
5340s	these Nighthawks were left on their own
5341s	with their uh DPS wings so this is
5344s	honestly great to see Nighthawks kind of
5345s	uh break the mold sort of
5348s	but so yeah nanofiber did a great job
5350s	here but I just feel like they kind of
5352s	uh well got rushed down to let's be
5353s	honest
5354s	yeah it was a super close match
5356s	especially at the starter to really like
5357s	uh Nano fibers were actually winning
5360s	because they killed about free ships
5361s	before they started getting their own
5363s	ones killed but that ham Rush was just
5366s	so powerful they just went for the
5367s	high-end ships the armaged Navy issues
5369s	and just went straight through them
5371s	yeah and they also didn't make any make
5373s	any bad Target calls either they went
5375s	for the ships that they could kill
5376s	quickly and remove DPS
5379s	but Nighthawk is slowly going down I'm
5381s	actually kind of surprised
5383s	that's you should not be going down that
5386s	fast
5387s	yeah it looks like there's a bit of
5389s	split DPS here we see the Vex and navy
5391s	issue of 10 arrest is webbed and yes oh
5393s	he just broke the web now and uh ovix
5396s	damnation is not taking damage so it
5399s	looked like maybe there was like a bit
5400s	of a split call to maybe go after the
5403s	the vaccinated issue which broke tackle
5405s	he's webbed again now but if this Vex
5407s	and navy issue can extend it out to the
5409s	point where one of The Nighthawks dies
5411s	what the hell what in the world how's
5413s	this notebook about to die to a
5414s	damnation wait I'm sorry hold on
5419s	sister ham Nation baby
5422s	oh my God I honestly did not think the
5424s	handmation was even [ __ ] but mildly
5426s	functional but here we go he's actually
5428s	gonna kill the Nighthawk and at that
5429s	point is this I think his team's
5431s	actually going to be ahead there that's
5432s	not looking good now for rope oh the
5435s	time yeah the time is on road now I
5436s	think they're gonna get this next Navy
5437s	issue but crucially a damnation and
5440s	arbitrator is more points than a
5442s	Nighthawk and a skybreaker so if this
5444s	arbitrator can make sure he just doesn't
5446s	get tackled in this damn thing he's
5447s	already attacked survive rhoten has
5449s	already knows this and is already
5451s	tackling the arbitrator in that
5452s	skybreaker a really good call there
5454s	they're still trying to kill that victim
5455s	but
5456s	scrambed escaped he's free he's run away
5460s	oh my God this is this I will think this
5463s	is gonna be over but it's gone the
5464s	entire other way and now wrote I've got
5466s	a time limit they need to catch us back
5468s	to Navy and catch the arbitrator within
5470s	what is it a minute
5472s	this one this might have been a disaster
5474s	they pulled the sky breaker off for 10
5476s	to go on to the arbitrade it was really
5478s	smart but 10 wasn't finished off and he
5480s	got away from the Nighthawk and now he's
5482s	just cutting away he's gonna survive I
5484s	think he can survive outside ham range
5485s	and now I think Roca Belmont actually
5487s	lose this the Skype they're about to go
5489s	down and the noise can save this you can
5492s	spam all you want you cannot do bring
5494s	enough mademoiselles to save this match
5496s	this has been an absolute upset from
5498s	nanofiber tokens oh Road Capel obviously
5500s	had this match as far as I'm concerned I
5502s	don't know how they kind of just thrown
5503s	it away a bit
5505s	it's not over yet it looks like the
5507s	Nighthawk is gonna be able to kill 10
5509s	he's pretty close to him he hasn't wept
5511s	again
5512s	30 seconds I I don't see how they can
5514s	kill it I'll be in 30 seconds
5517s	I think 10 is going down here but you're
5519s	not killing a damnation of arbitrade in
5521s	20 seconds so I think this might be nfts
5524s	as long as as long as it's no like
5526s	crucial piloting mistakes at the end
5527s	here
5528s	my channel points no
5535s	I think it's over
5537s	oh my God that is an amazing match so
5540s	then if I was like is clawing it back in
5542s	the end Bravo I I'm gonna go back to the
5545s	studio and see what they think because
5546s	that is amazing
5547s	That's All She Wrote
5553s	[Music]
5574s	[Music]
5581s	thank you
5590s	[Applause]
5594s	[Music]
5598s	[Applause]
5605s	connected Channel switched well it would
5608s	have been a fun easy fight right but
5610s	guess what dude I'm not if seeing it
5612s	people can't get together
5618s	enemies your temps are completely damned
5621s	out Crush I'm dumped out I'm dumped out
5623s	you don't like Champions boys
5632s	I'm jammed
5635s	nanofiber tokens that are proving that
5637s	nfts can have value as they eject
5639s	rotcapel from the tournament along with
5642s	over 1 million Channel points uh for all
5644s	of you there on Twitch you mostly
5646s	predicted that it was going to be a
5647s	solid rockabel Victory 79 to 21.
5650s	unfortunately you were all wrong and all
5652s	those Channel points have gone good bye
5654s	that was an incredibly exciting match we
5656s	thought it was going to go back and
5657s	forth back and forward I'm joined on the
5658s	desk by Jin tan and CCP Swift Jin tan
5662s	you had your head in your hands at one
5663s	point uh take me through what was going
5664s	on uh yeah that was just an incredible
5667s	match there we saw the kind of Advantage
5669s	go between the teams back and forth and
5672s	it eventually came down to
5674s	um at the start of it really good drone
5676s	usage from Rogue Capel you saw that they
5678s	were splitting their damage using those
5680s	light drones to harass the logistics
5682s	frigates whilst then applying their main
5684s	DPS to the Armageddon Navy issue and
5687s	just forcing a split decision the uh the
5690s	team of nanofama tokens decided to keep
5693s	their Armageddon Navy alive for as long
5695s	as possible possible and then later on
5697s	in the match they did much the same
5698s	thing putting all of their light drones
5700s	on that skybreaker they recognized it
5702s	was the only piece of tackle the only
5704s	thing that could go out and grab
5705s	something
5706s	um left on the road Capel side and once
5709s	that was taken care of there was no way
5711s	that that range stamped Nighthawk could
5713s	do absolutely anything to actually win
5715s	the match he was just running around
5717s	spewing missiles that you know ran out
5719s	of fuel about two seconds after leaving
5721s	him
5722s	and csp5 do you think uh like where did
5724s	it kind of go wrong for road like they
5726s	started to lose it could they have
5727s	pulled it back uh it's really hard to go
5730s	back against uh when you start losing
5731s	your Logistics like that I think if they
5733s	had the chance a do-over I think uh the
5736s	Road Coppell side would be pretty happy
5738s	and pretty confident uh in their
5740s	execution they do a lot of things the
5742s	same way they just maybe kind of spread
5744s	out a little bit more uh take out some
5746s	more linchpins a little bit earlier on
5747s	that arbitrator went untouched uh
5751s	through the match and it was just
5752s	wreaking havoc against those uh
5754s	Nighthawks really really annoying when
5757s	you're damped down as Jen was saying
5759s	your missiles just go boop boop
5761s	is that the technical term yeah yeah
5763s	that's exactly how that works it has a
5765s	sound in game now where it just goes if
5768s	you're uh it's disrupted yeah uh one
5771s	other thing 10 uh in the vexer Navy
5773s	issue lived way too long uh right wrote
5776s	uh kind of did that cool guys don't look
5778s	at the explosions maneuver uh and 10 was
5780s	able to kind of sneak away uh if you
5782s	want to know how he did that you can
5783s	always listen to the less than 10
5785s	podcast small gang podcast uh it's a
5788s	cool cool podcast it is a cool podcast
5790s	I've got one of the little wooden chips
5792s	he gives uh the guests have come on his
5793s	show so I recommend it uh if you're not
5795s	you've not got one you didn't give me
5797s	one what the heck it's a entry to the
5799s	kill Club I think he said as well well
5801s	don't listen to that podcast uh it's a
5804s	garbage podcast no I'm just kidding it's
5805s	a great podcast I probably have one of
5807s	those one things I'm a good at stealing
5808s	swag from players nice let's take a look
5810s	at the bands for our next match Dark
5812s	Side versus paper numbers and see what
5814s	these teams are choosing uh not to face
5818s	so dark side Banning out the Scimitar
5819s	the curse and the balgorn paper numbers
5822s	Banning out the shack EOS and arthrus
5823s	Jin tan what are you making of these
5825s	bands here yeah these dark side bands
5827s	are very similar to what we've seen in
5828s	the past from them Dark Side targeting
5830s	off that Scimitar making sure that
5832s	there's no real potential for a heavy
5834s	mic uh a heavy missile kite comp which
5836s	we saw paper numbers I believe lose with
5838s	in their first game
5840s	um whereas paper numbers are just
5842s	throwing out a couple of power bands
5843s	there they're taking out the EOS which
5844s	is the central linchpin of the Drone
5846s	kiting comp the Le Shack which has been
5848s	very very powerful in two Battleship
5849s	control and then the authoris which is
5851s	useful both in kite and in ham Rush
5854s	which is something we've never really
5855s	seen before it used in before but it's
5857s	performed very very admirably it's one
5859s	of the highest win rate comps in this
5860s	tournament so far yeah obviously that
5862s	curse and that balgar and very powerful
5864s	muting ships and for those of you who
5865s	maybe are a bit newer to Eve online CP
5868s	Swift can you take us through uh energy
5869s	internalization uh yeah as you can see
5871s	here once you're in optimal range these
5874s	energy neutralizers will remove
5876s	capacitor from the target chip it'll
5878s	cost some capacitor on your own chip but
5881s	not nearly as much as it takes away so
5883s	as the match goes longer and longer
5885s	these ships will start losing capacitor
5888s	and that gives your team a late game
5890s	Advantage as you can see there are
5892s	things you can do to circumvent this uh
5894s	right you can use a cap injector you can
5896s	use a capacitor battery which kind of
5897s	sends some of that bad juju of energy
5900s	sucking back to your opponent
5902s	um but yeah as these matches go on it is
5905s	very very painful and hard to deal with
5906s	I love those bands from faffy waffy
5908s	those are like very like very faffy
5911s	waffy bands right he he really strongly
5913s	values the curse thinks it's a great
5915s	platform for the points and it is
5917s	incredibly Point efficient uh the
5919s	Scimitar pretty much kicks out any uh
5922s	Shield Rush team with like obviously you
5925s	can't take uh anything uh major outside
5927s	of logic frigates uh and then just the
5929s	balgorn because you know no one wants to
5931s	deal with those newts and webs gen time
5933s	we don't normally see
5934s	um the pilgrim get much use here but we
5937s	were talking about this last week and
5938s	you think the Pokemon is a bit
5939s	underrated in some of these situations
5941s	why might that be so the program doesn't
5943s	have quite the same ability to actually
5945s	impact the capital of their game as the
5947s	cursed does that's what really makes it
5948s	a unique ship however those TDS and GDs
5952s	are incredibly potent they allow you to
5954s	control where your opponents are able to
5955s	position themselves on the grid and also
5957s	has the ability to turn off the shacks
5960s	and stuff very very effectively however
5962s	the Sentinel and other similar ships
5964s	kind of fill that role a little better
5966s	uh I just I think we'll see at least one
5969s	team try and get tricky bring the pill
5970s	Pilgrim and probably find out maybe why
5972s	it isn't used quite as often somewhere
5975s	down the line in this tournament
5977s	so dark side obviously a very
5978s	experienced team
5980s	um this year CTP Swift are they going to
5982s	be able to pull this right over paper
5983s	numbers here
5984s	I think so I mean this team is stacked
5987s	with talent I think they probably fly
5989s	under the radar for a lot of people uh
5992s	you might not think they're they're like
5993s	a top two Contender but they absolutely
5995s	are fatty waffy one of the most
5997s	experienced captains in the at an
5999s	incredibly solid Theory crafter and they
6002s	actually picked up a few key members
6003s	from the Vibra reloaded team so uh you
6006s	know stacked with Talent stacked with
6008s	Theory crafting this is a scary team to
6010s	come up against and jinton who would you
6012s	put your uh your Twitch Channel thoughts
6014s	behind this time uh given that we
6015s	haven't played darkseid's interview I
6017s	put my money on Dark Side excellent uh
6020s	let's go to the arena and find out as we
6021s	go to Dark Side versus paper numbers
6028s	and welcome back to the arena we have a
6030s	very interesting match again we have I
6033s	think it actually is a form of fly
6034s	killer because that's definitely rapid
6035s	light Navy Ospreys this time from dark
6036s	side and then we have kind of the same
6039s	thing but a bit more confused from paper
6040s	numbers we have a lot of missile ships
6042s	today and all of them bring in Shield
6044s	this is going to be very interesting
6045s	what do you think about this one sir
6046s	Tony
6047s	I'm really happy to see a raven Navy
6049s	issue that's such a such a great shift
6052s	out of left field for sure it's gonna be
6054s	interesting we also see Osprey vs
6055s	basilisk here so that again is just I'm
6059s	loving the choice of these teams have
6060s	made I keep saying saying but it's
6062s	bloody interesting to see what they're
6063s	doing
6063s	I wonder which one's gonna come out on
6065s	top this one this is awesome I need to
6067s	interrupt you for something very
6068s	important here the Raven native shoot is
6070s	torpedo fitted
6072s	uh tons of damage
6074s	uh
6076s	um I feel like he's come to the wrong
6079s	Arena
6081s	I feel like he's in the wrong place okay
6084s	it's also torpedo fitted
6086s	we might see some MGD players I'm
6089s	actually getting very excited now come
6090s	on I want to see an MGD playing with
6092s	torpedo battleships
6096s	so yeah we're gonna see a ton of DPS and
6099s	if you look at the uh well the DPS bar
6102s	doesn't look that impressive on the uh
6104s	fancy UI but I assume that they're gonna
6107s	do a ton of DPS
6109s	oh my God torpedo battleships versus
6113s	what I think is basically fly killer
6114s	this is going to be very very
6117s	interesting I suspect we can see the
6119s	support when getting nuked very quickly
6121s	it's going to question if these
6123s	battleships can get on target they need
6124s	to grab something anything hold it down
6128s	and rip it apart
6129s	yeah crucially yeah crucially there's
6131s	not really a lot of great targets for
6133s	Torpedoes on their team I mean sure you
6135s	can kill the bar guest and the Drake
6136s	Navy issue but everything else is not
6139s	really going to apply that well like
6141s	dark side have invested a lot of their
6142s	points into their support Wing here with
6144s	the you know jackdaws stalk Osprey Navy
6147s	issues so they might actually have a
6150s	hard time applying with these torpedoes
6152s	and they're actually running away
6153s	initially they're not running straight
6154s	and they're actually running back to mjd
6156s	because they may almost definitely be
6157s	trying the mjd play here now also trying
6159s	to maybe uh break up these rapid light
6161s	clips from their opposing team make them
6163s	reload and maybe find opportunity here
6165s	but yeah the team's backing up the rapid
6167s	light flight team is currently just
6169s	doing the usual thing of spiraling in
6173s	it's interesting that Darkseid bought
6175s	free Jack doors because they're playing
6176s	a lot of points for them
6179s	three Jack doors wow yeah that is a that
6183s	is definitely balloon they cost quite a
6184s	bit but it looks like that comp looks
6186s	pretty solid even with that uh that cost
6188s	you've got a they've got a Splurge for a
6190s	basilisk in this comp
6192s	yeah paper numbers are now all sort of
6194s	congregating around this MGD Beacon
6197s	although dark side looks fairly out of
6200s	range so it might be hard for them to
6202s	pick off anything here we'll have to see
6204s	if they decide to go in
6206s	just keeping an eye out it looks like
6208s	potentially just keeping an eye the
6211s	Bargas might be a spot they can mjd it
6213s	but it looks like at the moment they're
6214s	just lining up
6215s	yeah there we go there we go mjd here we
6217s	go they're all going in
6219s	that's what roughs I think did an anger
6221s	games he was just constantly mjding and
6223s	he goes being pro atypical again is
6225s	doing it once again
6229s	but not quite close enough at about 30k
6232s	off I believe
6234s	I'm watching this swivel and bifrost who
6236s	maybe try and go for a tackle but
6237s	they're still up at the Beacon they have
6239s	not jumped down with them yet there's
6241s	their jump now they've finally arrived
6242s	but I think that might have been a bit
6244s	too late the support needed to arrive
6245s	first as the Osprey is now honestly
6247s	about to die
6249s	yeah Park Bank mjd down with his team
6251s	but he's just taking so much damage from
6254s	from everything here that he looks like
6255s	he might go down him he's not he's in
6257s	armor already and uh paper numbers
6259s	aren't really getting anything for it
6261s	they're about to tackle the bug I think
6263s	they're getting pretty close to a sky
6265s	killer
6266s	and uh hold on are they not going Sky
6269s	killer now moving off the Drake Maybe
6273s	I see a caracal Navy issue was pretty
6275s	close but I think he got defensively
6276s	scrounged off of it there is a drake
6278s	Navy issue with Pandy who has been
6280s	caught who's like a little bit behind
6282s	not sure if that's a tactical decision
6283s	from them to just let them have the
6286s	Drake Navy issue and so that the Bargas
6288s	can escape here
6290s	also is the power of a fly killer setup
6292s	as well they've deleted this couple in
6293s	seconds they're destroying the bifrost
6295s	the Osprey can be hit very easily rapid
6296s	lights and Rapid Heavies as well so
6298s	they've been able to pull apart of some
6300s	of the small side side of this comp
6301s	already
6302s	and we're waiting for a doctor to try
6304s	and make something they either need to
6306s	try and make something out of this at
6307s	the moment
6309s	I'm gonna pay the numbers lost their uh
6311s	buy Frost now which is unfortunate they
6313s	are putting pretty good DPS into these
6314s	Jack doors but it's getting wrapped up
6316s	because uh they they still have the but
6319s	the Basilisk alive and he's relatively
6321s	uh untouched here well it's taken a lot
6323s	of damage now though
6325s	what from he has been caught by a
6328s	Nighthawk by uh jelfie yeah you're right
6331s	yeah that's just in the night hook I
6333s	managed to get tackle on the bassless
6334s	they'll try and go for the logic trade
6336s	here but I think even then it's going to
6337s	be an uphill battle I don't think the
6339s	battle actually the Raven maybe could
6341s	definitely hit him so yeah they are
6342s	bringing the DPS onto this uh onto this
6344s	bassless as the Bargas I believe has
6346s	been screened or is he screaming
6349s	he's screening he's got the Drake Navy
6350s	held down so they're going to go for the
6351s	battles then the direct Navy they could
6353s	honestly keep put they could pull this
6354s	back they've caught the uh the core ship
6357s	for their opposing comp and then they've
6358s	picked off one of the belt the DPS ships
6360s	as well this is honestly starting to
6362s	head towards darkseid's way
6366s	I I think Darkseid have control of this
6368s	match pretty much like if they lose the
6370s	Basilisk it's still two Osprey Navy
6373s	issues to drink Navy in the bogus versus
6375s	Fleet Nighthawk Raven Navy Bargas with
6378s	with dark side having more support
6381s	I think they need to keep this cycle
6383s	alive the CEO CEO is the last tackle
6386s	ship left on this grid they need to keep
6388s	him alive if he dies they've got
6389s	basically two slow battleships and a
6391s	Nighthawk who's also slow trying to
6392s	catch fly killer that is going to be a
6394s	painful experience but the society will
6396s	die
6397s	that is going to make it even again even
6399s	harder yeah panty Pandy died pretty fast
6402s	I I guess it's gonna it's gonna depend
6404s	on whether they can catch anything looks
6406s	like the jackdaw is taking damage from
6407s	something and it looks like he's gonna
6409s	die I'm not sure what is hitting him I'm
6411s	just keep an eye if no one tackles
6412s	rifles I believe he will be able to
6414s	tackle the buggers of Sky killer he's
6416s	pretty fast in his own he might be able
6418s	to catch him I'll just keep an eye out
6419s	stuff like the stormbringers the
6420s	Stormbreaker doing anything nope he's
6421s	running away jackdaw's being nuked this
6424s	this is surprising I did not expect to
6426s	be able to do this much with this comp
6428s	yeah this jackdo is dying to uh see some
6431s	combat drones although I think they
6433s	actually moved off of him now that the
6435s	Bargas is in pretty big danger I think
6438s	Nighthawk got the tackle I believe on
6440s	the burger soon
6443s	come on you're so close you're so close
6445s	I said it and then he didn't get it I'm
6447s	so sad
6451s	yeah Robertson's Vargas is uh having a
6453s	lot of trouble here as well uh so and I
6456s	think if rivason goes down it's
6457s	completely over for uh for paper numbers
6460s	very much agreed yeah I believe no never
6464s	mind I was about to say sky killers on
6465s	reload but he is still shooting rifles
6468s	just holding out in the like in into
6469s	armor now he's he might he could
6471s	potentially survive in Hull but I I
6473s	don't know if that's actually going to
6474s	work
6475s	they're chasing this uh Sky killer
6477s	buggies with everything they've got and
6479s	it's just not going to be enough I think
6483s	oh
6485s	he's he's just cutting them out I think
6488s	he's faster than everything and he's
6490s	doing a great job of just using the
6491s	defensive scram to keep them like Hook
6494s	off him whenever it gets close enough
6497s	oh ah there we go okay so I think at
6501s	that point darkseid's lost the dark side
6503s	uh people always lost the last tool in
6505s	the shed that nothing they can really do
6507s	now this bug will control that Raven
6508s	Navy all day long
6510s	that is so I'm so sad for that mjd play
6513s	was definitely ballsy but it's just
6515s	nothing you can do
6516s	Striker's taking a little damage for
6518s	some reason I think the Navy Raven is in
6520s	range it it the the bogus is not tackled
6523s	but I believe he's in torpedo range and
6525s	he is actually taking quite a bit damage
6526s	it's possible that Sky killer might
6528s	actually die here
6530s	if he does I will cringe internally
6533s	because there is no way he should be
6534s	getting shot by this raven Navy unless
6535s	he wants to he should have all the speed
6537s	in the world to outrun this ship and
6539s	even outrun the Nighthawk
6540s	and see the Stormbreaker coming actually
6542s	storming has gone in and tackled The
6543s	Nighthawks and now that hook can
6544s	definitely not uh chase after him
6548s	so yeah that's that's not where it comes
6550s	at the last moment tackles uh one of the
6551s	two ships remaining so you can't chase
6553s	off the buggiest
6555s	I personally would have liked him to
6556s	come in a bit earlier but looking at how
6558s	quickly his tank is going down maybe
6559s	that was probably a very smart idea
6564s	yeah and dogs had a really good
6566s	positioning here like the barges is
6568s	moving away from the Raven Eve issue and
6570s	you can see the Stoke Jack doing
6571s	offspringe issue kind of moving into a
6574s	position where they can screen firm if
6576s	they need to if the Raven is like going
6578s	to get a scram on him so I think this is
6580s	uh definitely darksides now at this
6582s	point
6583s	absolutely yeah
6585s	I I have a bit of a bit of a bit of a
6588s	fan of riferson's work both Hunger Games
6589s	and in here the man loves his mjds and
6592s	he's been honestly quite terrifying with
6593s	him but bringing it torpedo up against
6596s	fly killer that is a hard selling amount
6599s	of the pilot
6601s	yeah I think they were hoping for
6602s	Darkseid to bring out the flagship
6604s	Armageddon and you know bring a heavy
6606s	armor comp and they probably would have
6608s	had a really good shot of killing that
6609s	with this
6611s	definitely would have made it hurt
6612s	nothing else Raven Navy's now being put
6615s	into Hull so he's not along for the
6617s	world unfortunately
6618s	very sad
6625s	yeah it is it is a great shift
6628s	I know I'm glad to see they got changed
6630s	I actually need to go fly one again now
6631s	because they actually might be useful
6634s	but with the Raven Navy going down okay
6638s	never mind rest in feet there we go now
6641s	he's down Bravo to Dark Side well flown
6644s	and with that we'll go back to Studio
6645s	see what they think
6655s	[Music]
6670s	thank you
6696s	[Music]
6702s	foreign
6721s	[Music]
6736s	[Music]
6747s	don't worry
6749s	[Music]
6753s	paper numbers there they're gonna have
6754s	to find a new accountant as that one has
6756s	filed them straight into the shredder as
6757s	they are now eliminated from Alliance
6759s	tournament 18 but in a incredibly hard
6762s	fought match the that CP Swift that one
6764s	went back and forth back and forward we
6766s	were standing there talking about like
6767s	wow what an incredible match we were
6768s	watching it go and you finish with I
6770s	have a raven story uh yeah I do have a
6773s	raven story but yeah all these matches
6774s	today have been incredible I mean you
6776s	see these teams fighting for their life
6777s	quite literally uh and dark side just
6779s	kind of eeking that one out uh but
6781s	earlier before earlier today csb
6783s	convicts seems to be BNI uh because last
6786s	week's meta had a lot of caldori rush so
6788s	we were standing by the window in our
6789s	room kind of like rehearsing caldari
6791s	ship names and stuff like that and a
6793s	little Raven flew by and gave us like a
6795s	side eye and we're just like yo your
6797s	chip is garbage in the meta go away and
6799s	that Raven was super mad uh so I'm
6801s	pretty sure that Raven's gonna try and
6803s	kill us
6804s	so I'm really really happy that paper
6806s	numbers took a raven so at least I can
6807s	say yeah there was some Raven he did
6809s	real good and I'll just give him like a
6810s	little wink and we'll live
6813s	oh wow thank you the fates of Our Lives
6815s	hang in the balance thanks uh to that
6817s	paper numbers Raven well they are
6819s	literally saved Our Lives all of us the
6821s	number of curses in this Alliance
6823s	tournament is seems to be increasing by
6824s	the moment Dark Side of course won
6826s	because we didn't play the uh the
6827s	interview gin time that you had uh
6829s	produced by the way again thank you for
6830s	producing those they were super cool I'm
6831s	sure the teams are now very regretful uh
6834s	having seen the uh the results they've
6836s	been having but before we just get
6838s	completely off topic let's talk a little
6839s	bit more about that match one of the
6841s	really cool things we saw there was uh
6843s	paper numbers making excellent use of
6844s	the MGD beacons in the arena they all
6846s	got together on that Beacon they were
6848s	facing a team that they couldn't catch
6849s	and they started to propel themselves
6851s	around uh multiple times eventually
6852s	managing to lock down on uh the Basilisk
6855s	with a navy Drake I think I can't
6857s	remember talk to me about this yeah so
6859s	as you said there are nine mjd beacons
6862s	um kind of situated all around the all
6864s	around the edges of the arena and these
6867s	will allow you to fling yourselves at
6868s	100 kilometers in whatever Direction
6870s	your ship is facing and it's a very
6872s	risky maneuver because all it takes is
6875s	for you to not angle yourself correctly
6877s	you can get yourselves in all sorts of
6878s	hot water or if in the worst case
6881s	scenario you can actually just run into
6882s	the object of the beacon bounce yourself
6884s	backwards and just jettison yourself
6886s	completely out of the Arena which
6888s	happened a couple of times when I was
6889s	practicing
6891s	um uh but there we saw
6893s	um paper numbers use it really
6895s	effectively managing to get that
6896s	Nighthawk on top of the Basilisk and
6898s	that really gave them their chance to
6899s	get back into the match you know they
6901s	didn't look at the comp a kind of uh the
6904s	comp match up and go okay throw our
6905s	hands up we've lost you know this is an
6907s	80 20. let's just take the L and go out
6910s	for beers as soon as possible no they
6912s	really fought for that match and and
6914s	you've got to hand it to them they did
6915s	excellently
6917s	um I think all it would have taken is a
6919s	couple of uh a couple of bits of
6920s	mispiloting or maybe even the ec300s
6922s	that they'd managed to throw on the
6924s	Basilisk taking effect a little earlier
6926s	and and they could have walked away with
6927s	a win there yeah they could have indeed
6929s	but unfortunately they did not now uh
6931s	CCP Swift as you said so many good
6933s	matches uh thus far today is there any
6936s	matches today you're really looking
6937s	forward to seeing we're coming up to the
6938s	winners bracket very shortly
6940s	this is gonna be tricky
6942s	um the tuskers match uh later today is
6944s	going to be incredibly good uh those two
6946s	teams they could easily be in the finals
6948s	in fact a lot of people are predicting
6949s	those two teams to be in the finals uh
6951s	ever since my team got knocked out I
6953s	have picked Brave newbies or the brave
6955s	Collective is my team uh very sorry to
6957s	all the brave fans out there I might
6959s	just be cursing you all to Doom uh but
6961s	I'd really like to see them go far I
6963s	think they're an awesome team uh they're
6965s	a great story in Eve online as well they
6966s	started as a bunch of little newbies in
6968s	atrons that would undock and Zerg you uh
6970s	their motto of like fun for hour fun per
6972s	hour uh good stuff I'd like to see them
6975s	go far I would too for some of the same
6978s	reasons I specifically I enjoyed earlier
6980s	on today I could hear giggling coming
6982s	from the corner and uh CP Swift was
6984s	sitting there working Ms pain expertly
6986s	to produce some high quality memes he
6989s	then spent the next half hour just
6990s	looking at it and then giggling more you
6992s	were laughing at the room this is a
6993s	great great meme yeah it's it's like a c
6996s	plus meme but I made it myself so I made
6998s	it better uh I was thinking about you
7000s	can go to twitter.com CCP underscore
7003s	Swift and see my dank meme uh it's okay
7007s	yeah I give it a solid 8 out of seven uh
7011s	so let's look forward to the next match
7013s	up which is going between boundary
7014s	experts and Deepwater Hooligans so we
7016s	are still in the elimination bracket
7017s	both these teams have already played and
7019s	they have to play a game so they didn't
7020s	have much turnaround time uh between
7022s	their last matches uh which obviously
7024s	they won tickets remain in the
7025s	tournament
7026s	um I think we have the bands available
7028s	that's what I'm currently waiting for
7029s	here they are
7031s	okay so boundary experts banning at the
7033s	balgar and the curse the Nighthawk
7034s	Deepwater Hooligans Banning out the
7036s	Nighthawk the Griffin the Kitsune saying
7038s	hey ECM no thank you uh the trickle
7041s	bands the Scimitar and The Vindicator
7043s	Jin tan uh Griffin and the kitsuni uh
7047s	they are really scared of small kite ECM
7050s	so they're not Banning out the uh falcon
7052s	or Blackbird which is another couple of
7054s	ECM ships that we've seen various teams
7056s	ban and we also saw used to create
7057s	effect by dark side previously
7060s	kind of implies to me that I want to use
7062s	a Shack or maybe a Ved Mac something
7064s	that's going to spool up in damage or or
7067s	they just don't have the ability to deal
7068s	with frigates that's the other thing
7069s	that this could indicate to me is that
7071s	whatever comp they're bringing doesn't
7072s	have a lot of projection maybe they're
7074s	trying to bring some sort of armor
7075s	control comp themselves I don't know
7077s	those are some Curious pants
7079s	what do you think about these bands here
7081s	uh I think they saw what the battery
7083s	experts team did in their previous match
7085s	uh they had a Kitsune and a Griffin and
7088s	they're just like
7089s	screw those ships I don't want to see
7091s	them take something else which actually
7093s	does put you a lot put a lot of pressure
7094s	on a team right you just mentioned it
7096s	boundary experts played like an hour ago
7099s	they're going to be panicking they're
7101s	going to be a little bit of spaghetti
7102s	falling out all over the place and if
7103s	you have to make them make some
7105s	substitutions they might just make a
7107s	different comp altogether and uh might
7109s	miss play a little bit this boundary
7112s	experts team if I had to choose like a
7114s	second team to support it would be them
7115s	a lot of Legacy PL pilots on there uh
7118s	people who kind of remember me when I
7119s	was relevant so I have to still give
7121s	them a little bit of love but these guys
7123s	have a lot of talent and it'll be
7126s	interesting to see how they uh how they
7127s	react to this and Argentine one of the
7130s	questions that we had in twitch chat
7131s	earlier on was in that last match we saw
7133s	I jacked at the start and not moving for
7135s	about 15 seconds or so something we also
7137s	saw yesterday last week in the boundary
7140s	experts team where one of their pilots
7142s	radicals Dead Set stationary for almost
7143s	a minute to start the match what can
7145s	cause that like why aren't they moving
7147s	um so when you start when you load into
7149s	grid on a match that's being run by the
7153s	tournament tool no inputs are accepted
7155s	from your ship until the timer hits zero
7158s	so if at one second before the game
7160s	starts or in the tick between it saying
7162s	one second uh in local and then go go if
7165s	you double click in space that won't do
7167s	anything and I've off I've often found
7170s	myself in practices just sitting there
7171s	with my mwd on being like wow why am I
7173s	not catching this ship I'm in a Punisher
7175s	and then I realize my velocity is at
7178s	zero MMS because I have not you know
7180s	clicked a couple more times just to make
7181s	sure it went through it's a very easy
7183s	thing to do especially if you don't have
7185s	a huge amount of experience obviously we
7187s	wouldn't expect that hugely from the
7188s	Dark Side team but they do have some new
7190s	pilots they aren't like the Vita
7192s	reloaded teams that have been kind of
7194s	fielded previously they are bringing
7196s	alongside some slightly newer Pilots
7198s	although they do have a lot of people
7199s	with experience and other times you know
7202s	spaghetti you know these matches are
7204s	really intense especially when you've
7205s	got to fly them once you know uh right
7207s	after each other the adrenaline Island
7209s	builds up and builds up and eventually
7212s	um you know people start to make
7213s	mistakes at the end of the day it's
7214s	pretty much impossible to play a perfect
7216s	at game it's always a battle who makes
7218s	the least important mistakes
7220s	yeah it is one of those moments when you
7222s	warp in and then you're like everything
7224s	is cool and then the countdown starts in
7225s	local and you feel your heart rate just
7226s	suddenly shoot through the roof and you
7228s	start making mistakes I remember one
7229s	time
7230s	um I accidentally instead of clicking to
7232s	turn on my guns I accidentally spaghetti
7235s	then clicked the unstack rack and then I
7237s	panicked and then I turned all the guns
7238s	on individually but then of course you
7240s	can't restack them while they were
7241s	running so I was having to manually
7242s	overheat every single gun to try and try
7244s	and avoid uh burning them out but anyway
7248s	let's go for some quick predictions from
7250s	you guys so boundary experts argentan or
7252s	will it be Deepwater
7253s	uh I'm gonna say that I think Deepwater
7255s	uh Hooligans have this you know they
7257s	played excellently in their first match
7259s	and yeah I I don't have any deeper
7262s	reason than that and CC Swift uh
7263s	Deepwater Hooligans was incredibly
7265s	impressive in their win but my heart
7266s	goes with boundary experts uh so I'm
7269s	gonna I'm gonna give them a little bit
7270s	of energy okay I think I will as well so
7272s	let's go to the arena and find out who
7274s	will take this this Victory between
7276s	boundary experts and Deepwater Hooligans
7282s	welcome to the arena boys and Deepwater
7284s	Hogans we're Banning out the ECM
7286s	frigates for one reason they wanted to
7287s	bring an ecn Cruiser instead they've got
7288s	a blackbird and grib with a double a
7290s	shack comp and reversing a triple
7291s	Battleship double Armageddon Navy and
7294s	typhoon Fleet and of course I am joined
7295s	by my favorite being nerd in the world
7298s	beyond my man good to see you how you
7300s	doing Lynn how's it going
7302s	my I'm so happy this is a dream but we
7306s	had to focus on the match I'll uh I'll
7308s	be happy about that later but uh yeah
7309s	triple Battleship comp with two Navy
7311s	Armageddon plus a fleet typhoon against
7313s	the double the shack core I'm just
7315s	double checking these armaged names if
7316s	they are rapid heavy I believe they are
7318s	indeed they are
7321s	so okay this is gonna be very
7322s	interesting they need to try and break
7323s	two Le Shacks under a neros reps with
7325s	their rapid Heavies this is going to be
7327s	a very hard match for these Armageddon
7328s	navies especially with a blackbird
7330s	providing gems to break up those rapid
7332s	heavy clips
7334s	I think we're in for a very interesting
7335s	match and we see the uh the links
7338s	popping here it's about to start
7340s	yeah I'm gonna wait to see where the ECM
7342s	drops from that black bird what do you
7343s	think what do you think is going to go
7344s	for first of the ECM
7346s	honestly I have no idea let's see what
7348s	they do
7351s	all right I've seen damage go out to the
7352s	exact Navy at the moment and yeah damage
7355s	onto a shack looks like they're gonna
7356s	try and go to kill off the big ships
7358s	first I don't think that's gonna work I
7361s	mean I'm hopeful but I'm not sure on
7363s	that
7366s	well Shaq's taking a lot of damage
7369s	thank you so much for catching reps yeah
7371s	but actually the heavy drones on the
7372s	armaged maybe hadn't arrived yet they
7374s	were just about to arrive and then
7375s	they're being recalled so they're
7376s	actually potentially with the rapid
7377s	Heavies plus drones could have broken
7379s	through the lecheck there that is
7381s	honestly quite scary for uh people at
7383s	Hooligans here Fellowship gets caught
7385s	underneath one of the armageddon's it's
7386s	gonna die
7389s	I think with this uh Le Shack had
7392s	something really working I think of
7393s	course the armageddes now are gonna have
7395s	to go under reload uh what do you think
7397s	is going to happen with the Shacks now
7398s	you think I'm gonna burn in go get some
7399s	proper damage on
7401s	range it's hard to tell somebody seems
7404s	something like to wait a little bit and
7405s	see what's going to happen sometimes
7407s	wait for their team to make a mistake
7408s	but at the moment they're kind of just
7409s	chilling
7410s	but they're moving towards each other
7412s	now a lot more yep here they go they're
7415s	starting to move in are they have they
7416s	got a tackle ship in their comp not
7417s	particularly well they've really got is
7419s	a high enough application maybe some
7420s	webs so honestly their tackle is
7423s	basically the little shacks and maybe
7424s	the Magus so or the male addiction I
7426s	suppose
7427s	as you say that the checks are burning
7429s	in together it's going to be pushing in
7431s	towards the deacon
7432s	I'm not sure what the Deacon's doing
7434s	there
7434s	uh having a good time he's just enjoying
7437s	himself
7438s	we've seen lots of damage happening onto
7440s	the Blackbird now oh like maybe just
7442s	maybe clip through them quick maybe
7445s	that's things going I think this guy's
7446s	going to try to rip at the same time the
7448s	hyena is taking a ton of damage
7449s	blackbird's about to hit Hull as well
7452s	one rep cycle if it doesn't gonna matter
7454s	I think it's gonna get deleted it's so
7457s	much damage he's still he's still
7459s	bleeding ah he's going down for sure
7462s	oh my God how much is that hold on uh
7466s	that's six percent structure
7470s	he's actually holding he's actually
7472s	catching it Meanwhile we're seeing a
7474s	deacon on the other side taking a bit of
7475s	damage but not that much
7477s	oh my God he actually survives it there
7479s	with six percent hole and that is
7482s	honestly not the same time though the
7484s	hyena just went down
7486s	yeah not only did he survive that
7487s	situation it also means the arm against
7488s	now have to reload and cannot headshot a
7491s	battleship and that is honestly going to
7492s	be the painful point right there I think
7493s	I'm gonna get maybe I believe it's
7494s	already tackled down so yeah they have
7497s	to reload it and then pick on a big ship
7498s	that's just not gonna work with him at
7499s	the moment they're going to be at a
7500s	disadvantage
7502s	if they get their visual Fleet down here
7503s	as well and both the long range webs are
7505s	down it's going to be kind of rough for
7506s	them
7507s	but the original fleet seems to be
7508s	tanking quite fine
7510s	yeah you should be all right so yeah
7512s	it's going to be a race Tula Shacks onto
7513s	an Armageddon Navy and they're getting
7514s	navies and typhoon Fleet have to do
7516s	something that mostly they have to
7518s	reload first and do you think he's gonna
7520s	survive to reload
7522s	I'm not sure we're seeing Liam here now
7524s	in half armor I think he's gonna catch
7527s	this is going to be rough as soon as the
7528s	shack starts pulling up proper damage on
7530s	him exactly he might catch with the Reps
7532s	from The Valley in the beacon but that
7533s	is not gonna be enough rep power to
7535s	survive even one wish I could let alone
7536s	two this is gonna be really pain we see
7538s	some damage now go on to that little
7539s	Shack I believe that is heavy drones yep
7541s	Freighters from the Armageddon navies if
7544s	the rapid heavy is reloading time they
7545s	can start putting in that clip they
7546s	could probably break him before the
7547s	logic can even save them
7551s	I mean neither Deacon is also just about
7554s	tinkering over death here they're both
7556s	sitting there in like 20 armor look look
7558s	at look at the endless Shack of Dino
7559s	he's dropping remarkably quickly goes
7561s	down as well Lee then yeah I mean this
7564s	is a rush they gotta they gotta rush to
7566s	get the DPS landed there get the check
7567s	down before the Armageddon Navy goes
7569s	down
7570s	I think they're gonna make it they're so
7573s	close the shack is losing Health firstly
7575s	oh my good neighbors still holding in 15
7576s	after he could maybe just eat this out
7579s	at the same time the vigil Fleet and
7581s	Thalia get deleted as well
7584s	yeah both coms are brought a very robust
7586s	support Link in terms of being able to
7587s	kill small ships two Jack doors versus
7589s	another jacket on a malediction they can
7591s	rip apart small chips rather easily the
7593s	Armageddon Navy's now and how the shack
7595s	is starting to tank a bit better now I
7597s	think it's starting to go to the Shack's
7599s	way
7603s	oh my god
7605s	um
7606s	that's that right there is honestly the
7610s	end the match is still going but it's
7612s	going to be an incredible Hill to climb
7614s	the shack is still surviving the nearest
7616s	is still alive that is I just don't see
7619s	it happening I mean if the the oneris is
7621s	still out there rapping and the other
7622s	guys have lost both of their wrapping
7624s	ships now we're seeing the pontefx head
7626s	high farmer acts like Navy's about to
7628s	hit half armor they're trying to Black
7630s	Parade again but he already like proved
7632s	he's a champion he's not gonna go down
7633s	now I think this uh this match is over
7636s	exactly that it's going to be a slow
7638s	painful death from this point onwards
7639s	that's a black but it's also going to be
7641s	incredibly annoying now he's basically
7642s	just gonna jam out one of the two
7643s	battleships and leave him there unable
7646s	to sync their rapid Heavies with their
7647s	their friendly ship as now one of their
7649s	support ships also dying so yeah that's
7651s	well flown by deep water here they're
7653s	very well controlled and charging at the
7655s	right moment
7656s	I think it just came down to the uh the
7658s	rapid light cycles and syncing them up
7660s	together there and not being able to
7661s	punch that black bird I think that was
7663s	the the losing defining moment of this
7665s	match
7666s	exactly that once that Blackbird
7667s	survived and then they had to reload
7669s	with the Shacks coming at them that was
7670s	just game over episode look at the black
7672s	one he's actually might still die they
7674s	might get the Revenge yeah no way
7678s	just to prove a point
7685s	they managed to get their revenge on the
7687s	Blackbird
7689s	it's like the party called a champ
7694s	but this match is basically over they're
7695s	just going to be spending the rest of
7696s	the match now most likely just chunking
7698s	down the jackdaw here and then working
7700s	on the Armageddon
7701s	uh I think this is this is done
7704s	exactly that it's funny because actually
7705s	it basically uh one on loss on a single
7708s	rapid heavy clip and we've seen a
7709s	situation before people have not been
7711s	willing to fire the rapid Heavies at all
7712s	because the moment they fire and not
7713s	kill something they lose
7715s	but this team was willing to fire
7717s	probably a bit too early potentially and
7719s	managed to fail the kill at that point
7720s	it was Game the moment they didn't get
7722s	the kill on the Blackburn they wasted
7723s	their clip it was just ended
7725s	yeah there's a bit of posturing there at
7727s	the start but then as soon as the shack
7729s	started getting closer and closer you
7730s	might be right they may have started to
7731s	go a little too early but at the end I
7733s	don't think there's much they could have
7734s	done there
7736s	just didn't land the black but didn't
7738s	die and then suddenly wasted in you know
7740s	a couple of minutes
7741s	basically the only win scenario for them
7743s	was probably to like once the shack is
7744s	close enough all in it immediately with
7746s	all their heavy drones plus rapid heavy
7747s	and maybe break through it but beyond
7749s	that it's it is a hardcore with a
7751s	blackbird on grid and it on euros
7756s	I very much respect to Tim oxer there in
7757s	the aniros keeping that Blackbird alive
7759s	in six percent structure just that that
7762s	there is obviously the moment that first
7764s	broke uh boundary experts probably broke
7766s	their backs and their hearts
7769s	now we're going to see them working on
7771s	Avery
7772s	Last Man Standing he's been scrammed
7774s	held down and he's just gonna get
7775s	chunked
7776s	yep that'd be so you have to wait for
7779s	the checks to get there first bloody
7781s	slow things
7785s	I don't think everything's gonna do
7786s	anything anyway yeah this is this is
7787s	overly realizing it's two and a half
7789s	minutes left on the clock but that's not
7790s	not really what matters he's just gonna
7792s	get held down
7793s	and slowly chunked
7797s	it looks like the the Shack's actually
7799s	just looting instead
7801s	why not we've got some time mate well
7803s	while we've got that time welcome to uh
7805s	welcome to CCP everyone doesn't know
7807s	this is beyond B now ccpb just making
7810s	sure everyone knows that because he's
7811s	the best nerd around
7814s	thank you for that warm welcome man I've
7816s	been having a blast here with the people
7817s	it's been it's been super fun seeing the
7819s	entire uh the production Team all the
7821s	people working on this
7823s	has been crazy experience so far
7825s	I was gonna say like congrats on being
7827s	the newest CCP member but then Mr Ithaca
7829s	overload replaced you there and with
7831s	that uh Deepwater horgins gets the win
7833s	very cleanly and without go back to the
7835s	studio with the newly minted TCP
7836s	Overlord
7837s	have a look
7842s	[Music]
7862s	I remember
7867s	oh
7870s	yeah
7871s	[Music]
7880s	[Music]
7904s	foreign
7906s	[Music]
7919s	s there taking the Victory and
7922s	eliminating boundary experts from
7924s	Alliance tournament 18. it's not all bad
7926s	for them though of course because they
7927s	do win price ships they only win a few
7930s	compared to winning more than a few
7932s	which obviously is considered preferable
7934s	but they are eliminated in a relatively
7937s	hard-fought match by both teams I'm
7939s	joined on the desk by CCP Kestrel please
7941s	be careful how are you hey I'm good
7942s	thank you
7947s	tons of damage
7949s	chunks whatever that whatever Shady's uh
7951s	thing is I think it was a chunks and the
7953s	tangu is breaking of course being the
7954s	famous ones excuse me Castrol how does
7956s	that match for you uh that was a super
7958s	enjoyable
7959s	um mostly just seeing uh
7961s	uh boundary experts win more 80 pirate
7964s	ships and radicals was the highlight for
7965s	me
7967s	and uh jintan I wanted to ask you a
7969s	little bit about the damp war on that I
7971s	know it's your favorite topic and we
7973s	have a little bit of a video about the
7974s	mechanics of that but can you just run
7975s	us through it again yeah so um Center
7977s	dumpling allows you to control the lock
7979s	Ranger Lock speed of your opponents um
7981s	and these are going to be incredibly
7983s	powerful in this tournament because you
7985s	can now utilize the scripts for them
7987s	which means that you can either make
7989s	things look really really slowly or you
7992s	can make things look uh really really
7994s	shortly and which will prevent your
7998s	opponents from being able to project out
7999s	onto you and that's especially useful
8001s	when used in conjunction with things
8002s	like the Le Shack which if it can
8005s	sustain a lock for a long period of time
8007s	um within around the 70 kilometer range
8009s	that it can fire its weapon it's going
8011s	to be able to ramp up and just burn
8013s	through anything even under you know
8015s	Tech 2 Logistics reps
8017s	um and tons and tons of rep Bots which
8020s	is what makes it such a powerful ship in
8022s	a tournament format and it's also
8024s	interesting to see that I think we saw
8025s	some
8026s	um uh some of the scan res scripts
8029s	actually being used there as well on
8031s	that Jack door as it was able to
8032s	synergize really well with the Blackbird
8034s	the Blackbird was causing something to
8036s	have to lock it and then
8038s	um the Jack door from the Deepwater
8041s	Hooligan's side was using scan
8042s	resolution scripts on whatever was
8044s	jammed so that once the Blackbird
8046s	dropped its jam on it because obviously
8048s	that's RNG based it then took them more
8051s	than the 10 second title cycle time to
8054s	re-lock any Target which meant that
8056s	effectively things were being Perma
8058s	jammed off the boundary experts team uh
8061s	effectively breaking up that rhml clip
8063s	and stopping them from being able to
8065s	break anything pretty much
8067s	now before we go and talk about the next
8069s	match which is when we go to the winners
8070s	bracket and there's some really exciting
8072s	matches CTP Kestrel
8074s	um tell us what you do at CCP yeah so I
8077s	I'm a QA analyst at CCP I work on team
8080s	raw although I've been doing a lot of
8082s	work with the living Universe team which
8084s	is essentially like the live gameplay
8085s	team on Eve so for example I did a lot
8087s	of testing for the new Navy ships that
8090s	came out in Uprising last week
8092s	excellent and now what kind of testing
8094s	do you do with these ships
8095s	oh yeah just make sure the bonuses are
8097s	working correctly making sure like the
8100s	traits and the descriptions are working
8101s	make sure they have the right LP costs
8103s	in the Loyalty Point store making sure
8105s	the blueprints work for the capital
8107s	ships especially there's a lot of extra
8109s	tests that we need to do like making
8111s	sure like doomsdays work on them making
8113s	sure that they spawn the sleeper
8115s	escalations in class 5 Wormhole space
8117s	and a few other things too like making
8120s	sure you can't build the blueprints in
8121s	portrait for example just all these like
8123s	extra little tests just to make sure
8125s	there's no uh big bugs with them all the
8128s	super important things that basically
8129s	keep the game from breaking completely
8130s	out yeah so CP Castro our QA analyst at
8133s	CCP games now I want to talk about this
8135s	next match because I am looking forward
8137s	to this one um this is the tuskers call
8139s	versus truth honor light truth on a
8141s	light being the members of Hydra
8143s	reloaded from last year the defending
8144s	Champions tuskers not a bad team
8146s	whatsoever let's see what they're doing
8148s	with the bands so truth on the light
8149s	Banning out the jackdaw Osprey Navy
8151s	issue and Deacon tusker is Banning out
8154s	Jack Dart guardian and Loki uh just on
8156s	the lake the trickle ban is the Osprey
8158s	and for the tuskers it is the uniro so
8160s	both teams choosing to use their trickle
8162s	bands for the uh the logistics Cruisers
8164s	jintan what do you what do you think of
8166s	these bands here uh the thing I'm
8167s	noticing most of all is that both teams
8169s	have brought uh have brought a jackdaw
8171s	band to play here and what that
8172s	effectively signifies to both uh to me
8174s	is that both teams want to keep some
8176s	form of damp control comp on the field
8178s	uh those Jack doors with their
8180s	Sharpshooter mode have an incredible
8182s	resistance to e-war uh which makes them
8184s	super effective at shutting down your
8187s	hostile uh damping ships without really
8189s	being that useful in a pure control
8191s	setup themselves awesome and uh I mean
8194s	some of those experienced teams in the
8196s	history of Alliance tournament right now
8197s	about to go up against each other let's
8199s	take a look at some of the pilots for uh
8200s	for these teams so first up uh we have
8203s	truth honor light so uh Pilot's famous
8206s	pilots such as Casper 24 uh previous
8208s	holder of the boundary record before it
8210s	was snatched from his grap by Azure and
8212s	Argan from goons from Federation uh nick
8214s	domar uh cadash precess look these are
8217s	just like this is a who's who of uh
8219s	incredibly experienced Pilots
8222s	um so you speak Kestrel uh what do you
8223s	tell us something about some of these
8225s	Pilots here
8226s	yeah I mean a lot of the uh truth on the
8229s	light Pilots are sort of ex-hydro pilots
8231s	who have been playing together for a
8232s	very long time uh Hydro came second
8234s	place in 88 which is when the the team
8237s	first sort of
8238s	was on the field and then since then
8240s	they've always came uh second mostly
8243s	although they they won the last previous
8245s	Alliance tournament so they finally
8246s	broke the curse so a lot of these Pilots
8249s	are incredibly talented they've been
8251s	around in the tournament scene for a lot
8254s	of them for over a decade so tons of
8257s	experience especially when it comes to
8258s	fairy crafting kadash Priestess is the
8261s	person who uh maintains python the uh
8265s	python fitting management tool so he
8268s	knows a ton about fittings like he knows
8270s	more about fittings than me even so yeah
8273s	and that's saying something like that
8274s	guy is a wizard that comes to fitting uh
8277s	let's look at the tuskers pilots now uh
8279s	and compare them
8282s	so the tusker is uh Captain Suleiman
8285s	he's not flowing with him for a while
8286s	he's kind of returned this year last
8288s	couple of years I think last two years
8289s	he's not flown and yet he still has
8291s	flown in 46 matches so he's been flying
8293s	with them for a significant period of
8294s	time you then have latronicus he is
8297s	probably one of the better uh Logistics
8299s	Cruiser pilots in the game in the last
8301s	term history and he certainly was with
8303s	them when they won Alliance tournament
8304s	14 I believe and then again another
8306s	who's who we have hoodie Mafia who is on
8308s	the uh I think runner-up of our
8310s	championship team along with uh his
8312s	captain lysis back then and then people
8315s	like Tebo Skyler Jackson all really
8318s	experienced Pilots that have flown in
8320s	just I mean you can see here the lowest
8321s	ranking of them is 27 matches uh which
8325s	is incredible when you think about it
8326s	because a lot of teams go maybe two and
8328s	two one one two for example so to get to
8331s	27 matches and still be like just
8333s	creeping into the top 10 in a team then
8335s	that's how you know that team has got a
8337s	lot a lot of experience
8339s	now let's maybe talk about some
8341s	predictions because we're only a few
8342s	minutes away from this match
8344s	CCP Kestrel um who would you put your
8346s	Twitch Channel upon truth on a light or
8348s	the tuskers call well going by history I
8350s	believe every single time tuskers and
8353s	Truth on are light or Hydra as they
8355s	previously were known as have gone up to
8357s	it against each other in the tournament
8358s	they've always lost tuskers have never
8360s	beaten Hydra actually in a match in 80
8363s	so I'm probably going to be putting my
8365s	points on truth on a light if I had to
8368s	a sentiment that you share uh no I think
8371s	this is a time that you know tuskers
8373s	relive their Glory Days of at13 and come
8375s	out with the win here if they do they
8377s	should pretty much have a clear run into
8379s	the winners finals yeah I think this is
8381s	one of these matches where
8383s	um truth or like cannot sleep on this
8385s	like this is not just any other team
8387s	that they can go up against bring
8388s	something middle of the road comp and
8391s	then hope to out execute and win I think
8392s	they're gonna have to still bring their
8393s	a game respect the taskers team they've
8396s	uh tuscaras have shown a couple of comps
8398s	so far in the tournament they performed
8399s	extremely well with them uh I have I if
8403s	I had a bit Channel points which I don't
8404s	want to do because I I find this match
8406s	so hard to predict I would probably put
8408s	them on the tuskers because I think the
8410s	return might be slightly better if they
8411s	take a win and I would put this match
8413s	somewhere like 70 30 in you know 700
8416s	times out of ten I say truth on like
8417s	maybe you could win this one but you
8419s	know given the right set of matchups the
8421s	right set of piloting and the right
8422s	execution I think the Tasker is cool
8423s	have the ability to pull one over on
8425s	truth on the light here
8427s	so you've gotten your protection you've
8429s	given your protection I've given my
8430s	production I'm told the teams are
8432s	landing right now so let us go to the
8433s	arena and find out who will win between
8435s	truth honor light and the tusker's goal
8443s	now welcome back to the arena and we
8445s	have a flag pancake in the arena uh vld
8447s	minome in the uh for tuscus has brought
8450s	the flag buggiest and we have a very
8453s	honestly a lot of the control on both
8455s	these teams considering what they're
8456s	brought what do you think about this one
8457s	b
8458s	I'm gonna be honest with you uh I I I'm
8460s	not gonna be neutral on this match uh I
8463s	was meant to be in this match or at
8465s	least with this team with truth on the
8467s	light and they're absolutely gonna
8469s	dominate this I can tell you that
8471s	ah fair and unbiased reporting indeed
8476s	but yeah this could be honestly there
8478s	was a lot of this I'm actually going to
8479s	make the flip in the entirely different
8480s	directions we had double Blackbird from
8482s	a tree on the light they're going to
8484s	provide a lot of control tuscles with
8485s	that Flag bug plus a lot of support and
8488s	DPS it's gonna be very interesting to
8489s	see as well this is gonna be a match
8491s	that's going to end the piloting I'm
8492s	pretty sure and maybe a bit of dice roll
8494s	look
8496s	and we're seeing the double Blackbird
8497s	and the carries from the truth on her ad
8499s	uh we have double web uh visual Fleet
8503s	hyena on the other side I'm not sure if
8505s	they're gonna go top down or or bottom
8507s	up but uh that flag Bargas is something
8509s	they need to respect to be careful about
8511s	I'm just double checking as well that's
8512s	definitely a rapid heavy bug just going
8515s	over the rest of the strips to make sure
8516s	they are where they think they are
8518s	I believe that's definitely a hand in my
8520s	hook so it should be all right but yeah
8521s	these are going against a triple uh
8524s	battle cruiser setup with uh ECM support
8526s	is going to be a very interesting match
8527s	for tuskers to try and fight through and
8530s	hopefully they don't lose the dice roll
8531s	I want to point out one interesting
8533s	thing here as the match starts that we
8534s	have claimer Nighthawk various and then
8536s	an auger
8538s	kind of an interesting setup bring in
8541s	the Cheapo
8542s	I think we should see a bunch of uh logy
8544s	joins getting dropped into that augura
8546s	those Huskers tend to be pretty good at
8548s	doing that uh seeing no DPS drones never
8550s	mind as a stalk is now being a primary
8553s	First stuck is not too bad
8559s	yeah my brain just clicked that's that's
8562s	an almond Nighthawk and Claymore and Bob
8565s	yes sir hold on a second
8567s	hold up wait a minute
8572s	so we have two armacos both bringing
8574s	augers but one's auger with a a
8577s	Nighthawk Claymore okay all right we're
8580s	seeing uh Amelia ducks a dust base now
8582s	being primary but I think he should be
8583s	left alive with the auger reps and
8585s	defense mode
8588s	and the Confessor is an incredibly tanky
8590s	ship and I believe this should be able
8592s	to pull through at the same time we're
8593s	seeing a vigil Fleet go almost into half
8595s	armor here
8597s	the Confessor is holding strong
8599s	meanwhile the vigil Fleet this is one
8601s	web ship down and is going to put uh in
8604s	a better position where's the Reps from
8606s	the organ okay there's a cycle you're
8608s	gonna get another one there we go the
8609s	visual pitch should survive now he's now
8610s	pulled back away from the posting team
8611s	and is still receiving reps but if they
8613s	leave him alone and focus on the later
8615s	he will die before the order can even
8616s	save him
8619s	the moment is not really much going on
8621s	towards truth on a lot like uh tuskers
8624s	haven't really been able to project much
8625s	at all except to maybe without Confessor
8627s	who's now sitting at full armor they
8628s	need to find something to do this
8629s	Nighthawk is now being primary the rare
8631s	armor Nighthawk
8633s	we see the art he's been caught where if
8635s	they've been pushed to the back and have
8637s	to kite up again uh he's being held down
8639s	now
8640s	which means that uh him going into the
8642s	they're going to apply a lot better I
8643s	think this nighthawk's gonna go down
8645s	there you go I'm not even surprised it's
8647s	an arm and no hook he's gone he was
8648s	tackled down by the Confessor by the way
8650s	the thing they tried to primate the star
8651s	confessions could be incredibly
8653s	dangerous as I very well know and they
8655s	are like they're just gonna fly around
8657s	pretty much uncontested shoot down lodgy
8659s	drone shoot down DPS drones tackle ships
8661s	willingly that is honestly a painful
8664s	loss for tuskers and that's only the
8665s	first ship they've lost that's a big
8667s	chunk of DPS going as the controversial
8669s	tried to go for the claimer he got
8671s	scrounged by the bariest uh he's gonna
8673s	be pushing in the game we can see a
8674s	couple Executives pushing in with him
8675s	too they're just chasing it with a
8677s	Blackburn carries at the very back oh
8679s	Lucas Quan and the auger is going down
8681s	fast
8684s	honestly if they killed that ogre they
8685s	could start pulling this match back
8687s	towards their own side like that ogre
8688s	has been keeping ships alive but if he
8690s	goes they can remove the tackle quickly
8691s	then start beating all these black birds
8693s	this can entirely flip again that means
8695s	the Claymore for tuscaras is now about
8696s	and he goes down oh no same time
8699s	claimer's down yeah but what damage the
8702s	tuskers have left they've got a Bargas
8704s	and caracal Navy and that's really bad I
8705s	guess I've got a fleet Scythe actually
8707s	but like this is gonna be painful warp
8709s	out now being Primary getting rid of the
8710s	ECM this is honestly I don't see tuskers
8714s	winning this they've managed to like
8715s	kill Theology and start maybe breaking
8717s	into this team but they've lost so much
8719s	too quickly
8720s	they've also got their Bargas scrammed
8722s	held down by that same Confessor who's
8723s	not going to let go exactly that and
8725s	don't forget this is also a flag bug
8727s	this is the special brand of pancake
8729s	and it's just they'll be able to buy
8732s	more time but I don't see them breaking
8734s	through they've killed one of the
8735s	Blackbirds I don't know what they're
8736s	going for next look they're going after
8737s	the confess next try and break the bug
8739s	is free
8741s	I mean we're seeing the barges here hit
8742s	half armor he's gonna mean he's knocking
8744s	out he's not gonna hold here
8745s	interestingly though he does have the
8747s	ogre support and with with the Flag bug
8749s	he's gonna have some pretty shiny stuff
8751s	on that [ __ ] to keep him alive he could
8753s	survive long enough for this team to
8754s	pull back pull it back I wonder if truth
8757s	or was going to see that and maybe pick
8758s	on the augura next the auger is kind of
8759s	on its own maybe remove him now you can
8761s	focus on this DPS chord because at the
8763s	moment that bug is holding comfortably
8768s	maybe I'll be seeing Amelia hit here
8770s	lower and the same with the other
8772s	Blackbird Durant is almost going into
8774s	Hull
8775s	yep and we see also the ECM drones
8777s	getting put into the augura and
8778s	immediately destroyed by the uh
8780s	stormbringer of Jason showing why he is
8783s	the best pilot in all of Eve
8785s	and yeah the the uh confesses better go
8787s	down the August it looks like they
8788s	listen immediately and they went
8790s	straight for the auger auger is down but
8791s	meanwhile Emilia is also going down in
8794s	the Confessor
8796s	honestly bought them an incredible
8797s	amount of time I think truth might have
8799s	reacted a little slowly there but that
8800s	being said they were in a commanding
8802s	position they had the room to do that
8804s	but now it's going to be a race and I
8806s	think at the moment that race is so
8808s	squarely interested on the light side I
8810s	don't see that Flag bug surviving long
8812s	they've got two potentially Blaster
8813s	exact navies and three battle Cruisers
8816s	that's a lot of DPS with no support to
8818s	help you for
8819s	you say that in kadash's executive Navy
8821s	hits Hull no stop doing this to me I say
8824s	a thing and they immediately proved me
8826s	wrong this is unfair
8828s	but let's not forget we still have a
8829s	hard Navy Absolution and a starter here
8832s	they're all fully health except for
8834s	Dexter's absolutions a little bit in
8836s	armor I think they're gonna have enough
8837s	to push the Bargas into Hall and finish
8839s	him off
8840s	indeed I'm seeing if the bug is gonna
8842s	try and break away but the Absolution is
8843s	holding him permanently meanwhile the
8845s	bug is actually screaming off the uh
8847s	executive Navy instead
8850s	they've actually got a good amount of
8852s	DPS left and support on tusker's fleet
8854s	they've got their character that's a
8856s	good amount of damage plus these web
8857s	support from the Vigilant hyena they
8860s	have a chance but that chance is about
8861s	to vanish the moment that Bargas goes
8863s	from being present to past
8868s	and we're seeing the bark is just
8869s	hovering over the Hallmark where Casper
8872s	in the exact Navy is now going into
8874s	about 60 armor
8876s	meanwhile the Vargas starting into Hull
8878s	yeah that's bits about how here and
8881s	they're getting removed
8883s	I think this bar gets going down the
8885s	next next 40 seconds oh bogus has
8887s	actually been ended up being away he
8888s	might be able to pull a little bit of
8889s	range to get another rep cycle off he's
8890s	actually right the tackle he's loose
8892s	yeah but all these are these are ranged
8894s	battle cruises they can definitely still
8895s	apply for a good distance but he can
8897s	maybe pull some distance away and buy a
8899s	little bit of armor
8902s	meanwhile the caracal Navy and the uh
8903s	site Fleet will not keep pounding upon
8905s	that executive Navy and maybe kill off
8906s	another ship before the bogus goes down
8908s	he's got they've got a chance again vld
8910s	with the amazing party you're trying to
8912s	break free
8913s	I think this may have been a just a game
8915s	changer that he got away here Casper
8917s	going down into Hull
8919s	vld in the uh the flag bark is still
8922s	holding while we see Kane and The Calico
8923s	Navy taking some damage
8926s	yeah this is this is obviously starting
8927s	to go towards VOD side now he can
8929s	obviously keep repairing back up he can
8930s	if you've got an absolute armor up he
8931s	can reload that as well caracal Navy is
8933s	now being primary he will not last long
8935s	what are they gonna go for next because
8936s	everything is very tanky it's the harp
8938s	Navy is probably your best option but
8939s	it's still incredibly tanky ship
8943s	I mean the character Navy is going to go
8944s	down now in the next couple of seconds I
8946s	think harp Navy is definitely the best
8947s	compared to an Absolution and an astarte
8950s	oh the character issue managed to
8952s	survive by getting away he's still alive
8954s	he might still get killed but he's got a
8956s	bit of room to play with and buy even
8957s	more time so this the tusker's team is
8960s	flying incredibly well with the tools
8961s	they have that being said yep character
8963s	is about to go pop as you said he bought
8965s	a little bit extra time I should look at
8966s	the Absolution how is he so low
8971s	how is the absolutely so close to dying
8973s	that that's that's not what I expected
8975s	to see
8977s	I think they would have had a better
8978s	chance Killingly hard Navy if they if
8980s	they held him down
8982s	but look at the side Fleet is about to
8984s	get killed as well he's trying his best
8985s	again they're buying time trying to get
8987s	this Bargas back online he is back the
8990s	full Army he's probably reloading his
8991s	answer if he's got one and the hard
8993s	thing he's about to go down hard Navy's
8994s	in Hull meanwhile the Scythe Fleet issue
8996s	is taken down we got two minutes 20
8998s	seconds left here roughly and it's uh
9000s	this is a nail biter exactly if that Hub
9002s	navigation I'm pretty sure tuskers will
9003s	be ahead on point I believe if the
9005s	Sci-Fi goes down it will probably go
9006s	back but this is this is honestly quite
9009s	incredible flying from tuskers they went
9011s	from a position where they're looking
9011s	like they were going to lose this and
9013s	they're slowly but surely clawing this
9014s	back with some amazing piloting and
9016s	their teamwork
9019s	it looks like they're gonna go down at
9020s	the exact same moment here
9021s	hard Navy is about to eat it and the
9023s	same time with the side Fleet issue
9026s	yep there he goes side fleet's still
9029s	alive for a little bit longer he's
9029s	actually trying to pull away honestly I
9031s	wouldn't have bothered with that I would
9032s	have gone straight in and try and get
9033s	your damage in make your ship worth the
9035s	points
9039s	hitting about 20 percent
9042s	and I've seen ggs and local from Dexter
9044s	and Kadesh I think the truth or not I
9045s	don't think they've got this and
9046s	honestly I'm with them the episode can't
9048s	do anything the Australia can't do
9050s	anything this Bargas this flag is gonna
9051s	pull ahead with a win from a moment they
9053s	were about to lose
9057s	they've managed to call this one back
9059s	yeah believe it
9061s	I'm I'm immeasurably gutted
9065s	oh we're seeing Dexter here go down in
9067s	his Absolution merome and the bar
9070s	against I mean that just getting away
9071s	was was the game changer here 58
9073s	structure pulling away suddenly wrapping
9075s	to full
9076s	forcing truth on the light to swap
9078s	targets to other things and it just it
9080s	didn't pan out
9081s	exactly that do you think they would
9083s	have won a fewer in the team that if
9084s	this match don't ask me that bro
9090s	are you surely I can't put you on the
9093s	spot there
9093s	[Laughter]
9095s	the interesting things was that the
9096s	carries has been left on grid this
9097s	entire time he's been damping that bogus
9099s	and trying to remove his lock range the
9100s	entire time and honestly the bogus has
9103s	not suffered too much for it so this
9105s	carries has not really really been worth
9107s	the points here
9112s	they pulled back there they killed the
9114s	the two ECM blackbirds and then they
9117s	somehow managed to slip that Bargas out
9119s	of being tackled and held down we had
9120s	the confession holding it down
9123s	it might have just been that it might
9125s	have just been the fact that this is a
9126s	flag bargist
9128s	and so it is what it is man what can it
9131s	is
9133s	oh man like yeah again as you said that
9135s	bug escaping was the end that was the
9138s	end point once that happened THC THL
9140s	sorry we're just gone
9142s	I'm loving that the carries are still
9143s	alive uh where's this starting there he
9145s	is
9147s	oh matches over never mind then
9150s	and with that go back to studio and see
9152s	what they think
9156s	[Music]
9177s	guys stop being casual they're really
9179s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
9181s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
9183s	everybody warp off this is a really
9185s	really bad execution I'm very
9186s	disappointed
9191s	another great hall back from Omar damn
9194s	I'm thirsty
9199s	that hits the spot
9213s	uh yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
9216s	collectively uh so that's why that
9217s	Alliance logo is in the game of course
9220s	you could change your alliance by
9221s	leaving but that would be kind of a jerk
9223s	move that kind of oh you don't like it
9224s	now it's Lego sucks I'm gonna go join
9242s	match of the day so far for me holy crap
9246s	that was incredible uh the tusker is
9248s	called pulling out a victory over truth
9250s	honor light in just the most exciting
9253s	match that I've seen this tournament in
9254s	my opinion uh we saw a little bit of
9256s	everything we had jams we had dance we
9257s	had that bar guest just going down mid
9260s	trades for ships and then he managed to
9261s	get away in fact we saw um that the uh
9264s	the small ships on the tusker side able
9266s	to both web down and track and disrupt
9268s	uh the remaining battle cruisers on
9270s	truth on a light a living vld in that
9272s	bar guest to just Cruise out to safety
9275s	reload his armor repair and then come
9277s	back in again incredible mystical mate
9279s	how are you feeling uh I feel great yeah
9282s	I uh I actually made some Channel points
9284s	uh in that match I bet on tuskers of
9287s	course as you do
9289s	um so I got a pretty good return I
9290s	suppose that way at least if your team
9292s	loses the match you get the channel I
9293s	always get something yeah
9295s	any any highlights in that match for you
9298s	um I think it's just interesting to see
9299s	tuskas pull out the same kind of
9301s	strategy that they always have which is
9302s	just loading their mids with tracking
9304s	disruption and missile against
9305s	disruption to a an extreme degree
9309s	um flying a typically Shield setup with
9312s	an arm and Logistics to allow them to
9313s	fit more e-war into their mids and it
9316s	really showed that it does it does kind
9317s	of work well if they can fly it properly
9319s	yeah and I mean we were kind of
9320s	discussing that was pretty much an
9322s	execution win
9323s	um the truth on the light guys obviously
9325s	flew incredibly well really made Tesco's
9327s	have to work for it and then just a
9329s	little stresses the piloting the the
9330s	evasion to get that Bargas out that was
9333s	a flagship Bargas as well I imagine if I
9335s	know the Tasker is it's probably Giga
9337s	expensive
9338s	um and if that's not Flagship CC casual
9341s	I don't think that uh tuskers win that
9343s	yeah I think the I think the Bargas
9345s	would have died if it didn't have the
9346s	extra Flagship power of having the extra
9348s	powerful rep
9350s	like uh being a flagship it's allowed to
9352s	fit you know an extra special uh X-Type
9355s	armor repairer so it probably had maybe
9357s	had one of those if it wasn't a large
9359s	ancillary and also the extra power of
9361s	having like a longer range scram more
9363s	powerful prop mod meant that he was just
9365s	better able to escape better able to get
9368s	out of range and I I think he definitely
9369s	would have died if it was just a tattoo
9370s	Bargas yeah and at one point we thought
9373s	we were going to see a really expensive
9374s	Flagship kill meal before he did pull
9376s	off that uh The Great Escape and get out
9378s	away from truth on the light so well
9380s	done the tuskers score that was a
9381s	incredible incredible match
9384s	um I want to also ask you mystical my
9387s	the truth and light team they had a
9389s	couple of blackbirds we don't see them
9390s	super often this year and we saw a dark
9392s	side flying with the twin Blackbird
9394s	pilot
9395s	um and I think we can throw up a little
9396s	graphic about ECM can you just take us
9397s	through it yeah absolutely so my
9399s	greatest Nemesis in Eve online is ECM
9402s	the ECM module uh effectively what ECM
9404s	does is when a ship like a blackbird
9407s	um puts its ECM module on a hostile ship
9410s	it prevents that ship from locking
9412s	anything else apart from the Blackbird
9414s	if the jam is successful now it is a
9416s	dice roll so there is the chance that
9418s	the jam actually doesn't go through
9419s	which means that nothing happens you
9422s	have to wait for the 20 seconds cycle to
9424s	go around and then you can try again to
9426s	get that jam off
9428s	um it used to be that ECM was a complete
9431s	block unlocking so you couldn't even
9433s	lock the jamming ship back but now with
9436s	some of the ECM changes that came in a
9438s	few years ago you're able to at least
9440s	lock the ship that's jamming you which
9442s	kind of helps you feel like there is a
9444s	little bit of counter play to it it's an
9446s	extremely strong type of e-war but it's
9448s	not something that we see used that
9449s	often because
9451s	it's kind of difficult to execute it
9452s	doesn't always work out and
9455s	guidance disruptors and tracking
9456s	disruptors are a little bit more
9457s	reliable when it comes to the actual
9459s	effect that they have on the enemy ship
9461s	awesome thank you let's look ahead now
9462s	to our next match so again we're going
9464s	to stay in the winners bracket here
9466s	um and look at Odin's call versus
9468s	template calcif so the bands for this
9470s	upcoming match are Odin's called Banning
9472s	out the Nighthawk the guardian and the
9473s	pontifex Templars calcif with the Le
9476s	Shack the EOS and the Healer CCB Kestrel
9479s	what do you see here in these bands
9481s	oh that's fairly interesting bands here
9484s	um I'd say that the pontifex is a pretty
9486s	specific band I'd say like they're
9488s	forcing them to either go with the Magus
9490s	which is a lot less tanky if they do
9493s	choose to go armor or they have to go
9495s	into more Shield stuff or have like
9497s	heavier armor command ships which is
9499s	typically not how you fly it armor
9501s	normally you have like a triple
9502s	Battleship core or double slack the
9504s	shark although templates actually banned
9506s	on the shack so seems that they want to
9508s	try and force uh templates into like
9510s	Shield rush or like a a head like
9514s	provide problems for uh templates if
9516s	they go for like a heavier armor core
9518s	yeah and mystical mate this uh Nighthawk
9521s	band against Templar seems kind of
9522s	targeted they use that to great effect
9524s	during the lines open last year as well
9525s	in the last tournament 17.
9527s	um do you think that's the best of them
9528s	saying we don't want to see that
9529s	Nighthawk rush I think it's very much a
9532s	case of the Nighthawk is a strong ship
9533s	both in the rush and the kiting setups
9535s	so if we do see Heavy missile kite
9537s	typically it will be with Nighthawks and
9539s	then direct navies and standard Drakes
9541s	uh in the rush setups the Nighthawk
9543s	typically trumps the slept near now
9545s	although the sleptner is a good second
9546s	it's a kind of easier to deal with you
9548s	can limit its range a little bit more
9549s	it's a little bit harder to apply that
9550s	paper damage that you'll be able to get
9552s	in EFT or pifer
9555s	um I think pifer's now the more modern
9556s	one the Ft I think is uh probably gone
9558s	the way to dodo but anyway it's a bit
9560s	harder to actually apply that damage so
9562s	yeah I think it's just a case of they
9564s	don't have to deal with that awesome
9566s	audience call and perhaps we have a
9567s	sleeper team for many people I think
9569s	they're kind of underrated just looking
9570s	through some of their history here the
9572s	last two matches they've lost in the
9574s	last two years are only against vidra
9576s	reloaded
9577s	um that is a championship winning team
9579s	of course running twice in a row here
9581s	you can see this year they've won uh
9582s	twice paper numbers and nanofiber tokens
9584s	and then last year having a pretty solid
9586s	run getting knocked down immediately by
9588s	a video reloaded into the the lower
9590s	bracket on the first day and then going
9591s	through a tear in that loser's bracket
9593s	whereas officer in main eastwards
9595s	Petopia Exodus boundary experts and then
9597s	coming back against vidra reloaded after
9599s	they were knocked down themselves and
9600s	then losing so a very solid team and I'm
9603s	hoping to see them do very well let's
9604s	have some quick predictions so CCP
9606s	Castro Odin's call or template Castle
9608s	who's your channel points on
9610s	um So based on recent history it'll
9612s	probably be Odin's call because the last
9614s	the last tournament I think templates
9615s	were definitely a little more shaky
9617s	although I think templates have looked
9619s	very strong in the past especially
9620s	winning the alliance open winning the
9623s	anger game shortly after like in the
9625s	space of year they won two out of three
9626s	of the like big tournaments so I'm gonna
9629s	go votings just because of their more
9631s	recent pedigree but both of these teams
9633s	are very strong and Mr come out well you
9635s	see
9636s	not Hydra has just lost so now I have to
9638s	go back to templates number one so I'm
9640s	gonna vote templates that's number one
9642s	all right well I'm a big fan of the
9643s	audience call boys so I'm gonna go for
9644s	them so let's go to the arena and find
9646s	out in Odin's call versus templar's
9647s	calcif
9653s	hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to
9655s	this next match of the upper bracket of
9658s	Alliance tournament 18. I am joined by
9659s	my colleague Alex they have card Odin's
9662s	call have opted to bring a flagship bar
9664s	guest supported by a pair of heavy
9666s	missile claim or it's going for the
9669s	tried true traditional
9671s	not very tanky fly killer
9674s	meanwhile Temple is calcif saying we
9677s	still have armor in our pockets rolling
9679s	the double Magus for links supporting a
9681s	balgorn fleet Tempest Battleship Corps
9683s	arbitrator Thalia Deacon hyena crucifier
9686s	making up the lows giving them a lot of
9688s	rep and control
9691s	yeah and the control is definitely going
9693s	to be interesting to see here
9695s	um balgorn is kind of the classic
9698s	Nemesis of shits that want to you know
9702s	kite away uh in this fight killer setup
9705s	so one of the wind conditions for campus
9708s	calcif will be being able to use those
9710s	long range webs really you know get on
9714s	top of something catch something that
9716s	maybe misplaced gets out of position
9717s	within range of those webs and go from
9720s	there because we don't really see a lot
9723s	of really tackle ships from calcif that
9726s	can get on top of Odin's yeah you maybe
9728s	have a Magus
9730s	um
9730s	Board of a hyena but hyen is going to
9732s	get deleted by heavy missiles if it
9734s	extends
9736s	yeah crucially and if they can't tackle
9738s	anything they're going to have a
9739s	difficult time Landing damage because
9740s	their setup does not have a ton of
9742s	projection the flight Tempest is a good
9744s	Battleship has does have a lot of range
9746s	but it's going to be doing only partial
9748s	damage at that range you can immediately
9750s	see the Odin skull team
9752s	Fanning out kind of pushing themselves
9754s	away from calcif while his calcif is
9757s	rearranging their back line to make sure
9759s	that they keep their smaller ships out
9761s	of range
9762s	this is going to be crucial because that
9763s	Magus is already taking the brunt of
9765s	Odin's call aggression
9767s	yeah we see that we feel a lot of
9770s	tracking disruption from what I presume
9773s	to be
9774s	um the mid Slots of things like a hook
9775s	bill from the jackdaws onto the balcorn
9778s	fleet Tempest
9780s	um really just limiting how much
9782s	meaningful projection they can get out
9783s	meanwhile we see an absolute cloud of
9786s	reptons getting on top of the uh magaz
9789s	so we see a flip now onto Aurora work
9792s	holes Magus he was getting it down to
9793s	low armor and he they save him and now
9796s	he goes down just in a little bit of uh
9799s	um structure but now
9801s	um we see that uh orthos of hodar is
9804s	having to run his ASB getting a little
9806s	bit too close to that Tempest Fleet
9807s	issue yeah quite pivotally uh you have a
9810s	Templars cast of battleground Fleet
9812s	Tempest charging forward trying to bully
9814s	out the Odin's call team Odin's call at
9816s	one point was approaching them head on
9818s	they've now pivoted away but they're
9820s	going to pay for it here by losing this
9822s	orthos most likely uh I mean they're now
9825s	going after the logistics frigates of
9827s	temples calcif maybe this was a
9829s	calculated decision saying hey they're
9831s	not going to let us get in range unless
9832s	we take some risks but will it be worth
9834s	it for trade we will see they've brought
9837s	down one they're going after the Thalia
9839s	this orthos will pay for it with his
9840s	life but what can calcif do to mitigate
9843s	if they lose both of their Logistics
9845s	frigates they're going to get chipped
9846s	away will they not
9847s	yeah I mean I don't think they're going
9849s	to lose their Logistics frigates just
9851s	yet I think if you're in the position of
9854s	Odin's um you know you try to kite
9856s	around it seems like they're just trying
9858s	to maneuver around to the back side
9860s	um Behind These slower battleships you
9862s	know we see that the abat and attempt
9864s	Fleet issue the Battleground are all
9866s	balled up but now that the links are
9867s	gone uh crucially those template ships
9870s	are going to be less tanky they're going
9872s	to be slower and they're not going to
9873s	have the bonus uh web range on that
9875s	balgorn to really uh meaningfully catch
9878s	things so uh stainless now and the
9880s	crucifier they're just swapping targets
9882s	between these frigates trying to catch
9884s	the logistics sleeping
9887s	and you can see the temples calcip
9889s	battleships trying to own the center of
9891s	the Arena trying to match the movements
9893s	of the Odin's call team what they're
9895s	looking to do here is pressure Odin's
9898s	call to keep the moving force them to
9900s	make piloting errors and every time
9902s	Odin's call has to turn there is a
9904s	window where that bow guard can
9906s	potentially land some long-range webs or
9909s	even a long-range Newt which would cap
9911s	out and turn off the micro warp drive of
9913s	some of these kiting ships enabling them
9915s	to get more on top of it it's a
9917s	dangerous long game for them because
9919s	they're going to be taking fire the
9921s	entire time but it's their only way
9922s	forward in this match and they might
9924s	have success here as they're closing in
9926s	on the Claymore of Colonel Kurtz
9929s	yeah um this Claymore of Kernel carts is
9931s	getting way too close to this uh Fleet
9933s	Tempest and it looks like he's going to
9934s	get held down he's going to get grappled
9936s	um webbed and scrammed and that's a
9938s	major misplay from one of these command
9940s	ships in a claimer you should never ever
9942s	be getting caught by an armor Fleet
9944s	Tempest so uh we see that the arbitrator
9947s	is now the primary they're going to try
9948s	to get rid of the tracking
9950s	um disruption from templates not sure
9953s	why they're doing that it doesn't seem
9955s	like the arbitrator has been putting out
9957s	any guidance disruption but I mean
9959s	you're not happy losing a command ship
9961s	for that it's the target they have
9963s	available what you're seeing here is
9965s	Odin's flanking around the back end of
9968s	temples calcif which has kind of strung
9969s	out their formation as they would kind
9971s	of have to do in this in this match the
9973s	arbitrator is the thing hanging around
9975s	in the back side and so now you're
9977s	seeing all the odins called sweep in
9979s	behind the temples calcif battleships to
9982s	try to go for the squishiest ship and
9984s	the arbitrator is what they landed on
9986s	but they're not having a ton of luck uh
9988s	the arbitrator in the hyena they're
9990s	somewhat splitting their focus here and
9992s	neither one is dipping below half armor
9994s	yeah I mean you're losing a claim when
9996s	an authoris hurts you a lot that's
9998s	roughly in the vicinity of a thousand
10002s	damage that you just don't have anymore
10003s	and it's pretty tragic for Odin's
10006s	because both of those were pretty severe
10008s	misplays
10009s	um just being significantly faster
10011s	kiting ships getting
10013s	um muted and then scrammed by a
10015s	tempestory issue it wasn't even the
10017s	balcorn that was getting on top of
10018s	things really
10020s	yep and now temples is kind of reacting
10023s	to that play they're rearranging
10024s	themselves putting the battleships at
10026s	the front once again and grouping their
10028s	smaller ships behind them this is now
10030s	forcing Odin's to figure out another
10031s	direction to go Odin says a lot of Arena
10033s	to play with they own the center right
10035s	now and Temple's Castle is coming from
10037s	the edge back in but crucially to
10039s	something you said earlier moderator
10041s	losing links from a team the mega
10043s	scissors are down from Temple's calcif
10045s	but now that Claymore is down from
10046s	Odin's call in another couple seconds
10048s	we're going to see the link that he was
10050s	providing fall off which should make
10052s	them either a bit slower or reduce their
10054s	tackle range
10056s	yeah and right now the crucifier is just
10059s	very well in the back line getting held
10061s	up by these heavy armor Bots uh
10063s	meanwhile The Tempest and the
10065s	Battleground are doing a pretty good job
10067s	of just zoning out uh this side of
10069s	Odin's trying to put them in an awkward
10071s	situation uh Odin's needs to find a way
10075s	uh to kill these logic frigates because
10077s	if they don't
10079s	um they're just going to run out the
10080s	clock they have you know four minutes
10081s	and 20 seconds left I mean if they don't
10084s	really burn down
10086s	um one of these logic they're going to
10088s	go up in the cloud of smoke
10089s	yeah for the audience Temple's Castle
10092s	has the point lead here 28 to 14 so the
10095s	the onus is on Odin's call here they
10097s	need to take the initiative they need to
10098s	make a move if things stay exactly as
10101s	they are if Temple's Castle continues
10102s	maneuvering as they're maneuvering with
10104s	no change they will win this match in
10106s	about four minutes a little less than
10108s	four minutes so the clock is ticking
10110s	here for Odin's call they need to make a
10112s	play they need to find a hole so far
10113s	they've tried the crucifier the hyena
10115s	the Thalia and the arbitrator and they
10118s	haven't found any success now it looks
10120s	like they're going after the Tempest
10121s	Fleet issue but if anything that will be
10123s	a more challenging Target for them to
10125s	break down
10126s	yeah I not sure if we're doing that just
10129s	yet
10130s	um it looks like they still have a fair
10132s	amount of drones onto uh the arbitrade I
10135s	really don't like the Tempest Fleet
10136s	issue as a call if anything what they
10138s	should be trying to do is use those Jack
10140s	balls to clear off the heavy armor Bots
10143s	and maybe once there's a little bit less
10145s	rep support try to make some snap calls
10147s	kill a deacon kill aphalia once you kill
10150s	one of those two you can eek away
10151s	because with three minutes on the clock
10153s	with what you have left you're not gonna
10155s	kill a battleship you have to work away
10157s	at the support side and hope that you
10159s	can get something out of that
10161s	well they're gonna have to get more than
10163s	one thing out of that no single Target
10165s	on the temples calcif team aside from
10167s	those battleships is going to be able to
10169s	afford them the points they need now
10171s	they've just killed the crucifier here
10173s	that is good
10174s	that's a first step uh it looked like it
10177s	might have been putting out the loan uh
10179s	guidance disruptor on the devil's gossip
10181s	team but the Battleground Fleet temp is
10183s	the bad and still untouched they're
10185s	being tracking disrupted a little bit
10186s	which will be inconvenient for them but
10189s	they don't need to kill anything else
10190s	right now it's all about Odin seeing
10193s	what Odin's can put together here
10194s	they're going to need to string together
10196s	three small ship kills if they don't
10198s	want to go after one of these
10199s	battleships uh kind of an odd Advantage
10202s	from the temples cast of setup where
10204s	they've put so many points into their
10206s	top end with the balgorn fleet Tempest
10208s	the Baton core that they could lose a
10210s	lot of their low end but if they're
10211s	still killing a lot of the enemy they're
10213s	going to be fine
10215s	they trick the arbitrator into um be
10218s	thinking he's a primer they snap and
10220s	kill the hyena that makes it a six point
10223s	game so if they can kill the arbitrator
10225s	that would make it tied on points
10227s	however the Osprey though of toast
10230s	um uh 995 took a fair amount of fair
10234s	amount of damage earlier but now he's
10235s	outside of that Scorch range so again in
10238s	the next minute or so you really only
10240s	have one clip reload left on your
10243s	bargist you have to reload between your
10246s	jackdaws and everything else I mean this
10248s	is where uh you might have to go For
10250s	Broke and it
10252s	gonna come down to them being able to
10254s	force snap and the folly or the Deacon
10256s	being asleep at the wheel
10258s	yeah the hyena play was very crucial it
10261s	really brought this match into range for
10263s	them if they can do a repeat of that it
10266s	looks like they might be going after one
10267s	or both the logistics frigates here
10269s	starting to put some damage into the
10270s	Deacon while they've got electronic
10272s	warfare on the Thalia
10274s	this would be the points they need
10276s	critically most of the heavy armor Bots
10278s	are on top of the arbitrator and they're
10279s	going for the Deacon we see all the
10281s	paints are on top of that Deacon the
10283s	Thalia however is 100 on top of the ball
10285s	getting all of his reps on top of his
10288s	bro however
10290s	um now it looks like they're swapping
10291s	back to the arbitrator and the Deacon
10293s	might have burnt out of range of this
10296s	arbitrator oh no he's actually coasted
10297s	out he's not going to be in range to get
10299s	to the arbitrator and if he breaks the
10301s	arbitrator we're tied on points with 40
10302s	seconds left
10304s	huge huge play they just repeated the
10307s	magic that they put in with the hyena we
10308s	are now tied with 30 seconds left we
10311s	might be going into tie-dye a tie-dye
10314s	tide breaker yes so for those of you who
10317s	are you know unfamiliar to these more
10319s	esoteric tournament rules what will
10321s	happen is we have time dilation which
10324s	many people know wait this carries this
10326s	carries is in armor as the seconds are
10328s	ticking down can they kill him before we
10330s	go into time
10331s	uh I don't know why that carries this
10333s	anywhere near there he is rammed way too
10335s	close that wait no he's trying to force
10338s	a um he's trying to force a um jam by
10340s	getting closer
10342s	he gets the he gets the the uh follow
10345s	you down but the carries
10347s	uh okay so we are in tie-dye okay so
10350s	um right now so the time is actually
10352s	going to spool forward it's gonna go
10354s	faster as opposed to slower like you're
10356s	used to so with that follow you down the
10358s	Deacon will have no rep power left they
10361s	can kill the Deacon I think they take
10363s	this
10364s	I think they take this as well what an
10366s	amazing final minute of play here this
10369s	is absolutely incredible this Deacon
10370s	will drop he has no one to help rep him
10373s	oh he's getting some love from arm
10375s	robots that it's not gonna be enough
10377s	here the carries meanwhile back to full
10379s	Shields that Osprey coming back in and
10381s	being a hero for his team this Deacon is
10383s	dropping very rapidly I can't overstate
10386s	how goaded Martin Conrad is when he
10389s	pushed in he forced he got into closer
10391s	optimal so his
10393s	um damps were more effective and he
10395s	essentially made um faffoy much less
10398s	effective and unable to rep his buddy
10400s	when he did that
10402s	um it was enough time for the Thalia to
10404s	go down and I mean we are at 225 tie-dye
10409s	so ships are effectively moving at
10411s	roughly 8 000 meters a second in real
10413s	time so if you're not careful you can
10415s	accidentally boundary yourself however
10418s	the balgorn is going down carries goes
10420s	down
10423s	is falling apart at an alarming Pace
10426s	here
10428s	yeah I mean this is probably a little
10430s	bit of an upset I'm however very glad
10432s	that I put 30 000 points on Odin's call
10434s	I'm feeling somewhat uh Vindicated what
10437s	that decision is Killa and the last of
10439s	his armor goes down and I don't see any
10442s	way for temples to come back at this
10443s	point
10444s	no this is Signed Sealed Delivered for
10446s	Odin's call what a thrilling what a what
10449s	a thrilling final minute of play
10451s	everything turned on those last couple
10453s	pilot decisions forcing us into this
10456s	tie-dye situation and obviously Odin's
10458s	call reacted to it much more
10461s	successfully they were
10463s	they have their game plan in mind and
10465s	they had to pull it
10466s	they had to pull it out in like twice
10468s	three times the rated which you would
10471s	normally think and act and Eve
10472s	incredible Temple Scouts if not able to
10475s	keep up
10476s	well I say not able to keep up but now
10478s	that we're at 350 tie-dye I think that
10481s	is the fastest I have ever seen a
10483s	claymore go in my life he's just zoom
10485s	zooming around the arena uh well out of
10487s	range of this Sabaton The Last Spartan
10490s	the last member of his team and it looks
10493s	like he's going to die on his shield as
10496s	he goes down into hole and he drops and
10498s	with that thrilling match I'll send it
10500s	back to the studio to break that
10501s	exhilarating match down
10507s	[Music]
10524s	thank you
10531s	sinus up
10553s	pump it up a little more get the party
10556s	going on the Dance Floor
10581s	foreign
10591s	I said at the end of the last match that
10594s	was one of the most exciting matches I'd
10595s	seen and then I think I might have to
10596s	say it again because that was incredible
10597s	uh what we saw at the end there is
10599s	something that we haven't seen in many
10601s	years in the Lions tournament in fact I
10603s	can't remember the last time we actually
10604s	saw one it's been a good few years but
10606s	when a match gets to time the 10 minutes
10609s	it goes into reverse time dilation so
10611s	normally when we have tie-dye on TQ it's
10614s	when the server is super overloaded and
10616s	everything has to be slowed down to
10617s	allow the server to catch up so
10619s	everything has the effect of running
10620s	slower reverse tie-dye happens at the
10622s	end of 10 minutes where we say hey
10623s	you've had 10 minutes to kill each other
10624s	you have failed uh we're gonna make you
10626s	now do it faster so everything starts to
10628s	move faster and faster and faster your
10630s	modules cycle quicker your modules
10631s	overheat and burn out quicker and then
10634s	that keeps ramping up and ramping up
10635s	every minute we saw it go from 150 to
10638s	225 percent to 350 before the end of
10642s	that match there so it's quite chaotic
10644s	I've flown in a match where it goes to
10646s	reverse tie dye I can tell you it gets
10648s	very panicky very quickly because I
10650s	guarantee you pretty much none of these
10651s	Pilots will have had any chance to
10653s	really practice that
10655s	um the fact that everything moves
10656s	quicker you move quicker if you make a
10658s	mistake it's over quicker you have less
10660s	time to correct it absolutely wild CP
10662s	casual how does that match for you oh
10664s	man that was just super exciting it
10666s	looked like Odin's had it at the
10668s	beginning
10669s	pretty solidly but then they got a claim
10671s	of call tackled it looked really dire
10674s	for them for a very long time after that
10676s	but they were they're able to do like a
10678s	really they were really good I think
10679s	with their shot calling where they would
10681s	like put a little bit of damage onto one
10683s	target force uh templates to put their
10686s	heavy rep Watts on that Target and as
10688s	soon as they saw the rep boards going
10689s	over to the new Target they would swap
10690s	back to a new Target or swap back to the
10691s	old Target they were doing so they're
10693s	playing mind games and they were able to
10695s	over time just slowly break through
10698s	things like they got the crucifier then
10700s	they were able to go like get through
10702s	the arbitrator after like tricking them
10704s	into like putting the red bots on the
10706s	Deacon for a while and then I think the
10708s	Deacon burned out of range
10709s	uh of the arbitrator because it's just
10711s	trying to mitigate as much damage as
10713s	possible and so he just wasn't in range
10715s	of the arbitrator for a crucial amount
10717s	of time and then just died so yeah and
10720s	then that's that's the point where we
10721s	got into the first holiday and owners
10722s	were able to clean up yeah that was a an
10724s	incredible match I'm sure those Pilots
10726s	were very very stressed during that part
10728s	now let's look forward to our next match
10730s	which is going to be between we form
10731s	Volta and platinum sensitivity so let's
10733s	take a look at the bands for this
10737s	so Volta Banning out the abandoned the
10739s	pontifex and the Magus uh Platinum
10741s	sensitivity bang out the jackdaw the EOS
10743s	and the Loki uh mystical might what do
10746s	you make of these bands here uh fairly
10748s	interesting band coming out from both
10749s	teams I will note that having looked
10752s	back through some of the plat sense and
10753s	the we form vaulted comps it does seem
10755s	like we from Volta have essentially just
10757s	run Shield Rush each match whereas
10759s	Platinum sensitivity have just been
10761s	running 3bs core each match
10763s	um I don't remember if Platinum
10764s	sensitivity have actually been using the
10766s	abandon so it's interesting to see that
10767s	band coming out of here uh it doesn't
10769s	seem like it's a targeted ban it might
10770s	just be the fact that we from vulture
10772s	are changing up their plan a little bit
10773s	and the abaddin apparently as as the
10777s	amazing utility mode that it is
10779s	um it's not something that they don't
10780s	want to come up against
10782s	um abundance known for being High Dam
10783s	High DPS but it doesn't have any e-war
10785s	bonuses so it's purely a damage and tank
10787s	ship that they're that they're banging
10789s	out abandoning out here yeah it doesn't
10791s	have uh the most projection out of the
10793s	book with Scorch uh it can project quite
10795s	far uh the greatest animal in the game
10797s	um I'm told the teams are on grid so we
10799s	can go to the arena now and find out who
10801s	will win between we far and Volta and
10803s	platinum sensitivity
10810s	hello everyone and welcome back we are
10812s	here with we form Volta versus platinum
10814s	sensitivity
10817s	we form Volta coming in with a bar cast
10819s	two Navy Drakes Osprey two Navy Ospreys
10822s	a Navy caracal stork hyena and
10824s	skybreaker a very caldari heavy missile
10827s	setup from we form Volta what does
10829s	platinum sensitivity bring to the table
10831s	yeah they've brought interestingly
10833s	enough a redeemer their Flagship
10835s	Vindicator a typhoon Fleet issue and
10839s	um double laundry freeze with some
10840s	assorted support interesting to see a
10843s	bifrost and a stork
10846s	um in an armor composition possibly uh
10850s	going with all e-ore mids not unlike
10852s	with what we saw in the tuscars versus
10854s	uh truth on a light match
10858s	we're definitely going to see a bit of
10860s	Rush from the we form Volta team they
10862s	are Geared for close range combat
10864s	they're gonna look to get right in there
10866s	which could be a dangerous proposition
10868s	for them with the Vindicator there
10870s	that said they've got the DPS to
10872s	absolutely headshot some of this
10874s	Platinum sensitivity team
10875s	yeah to be clear these are heavy missile
10878s	Drake Navy issues and Argus so they may
10882s	want to actually be keeping away at
10884s	range rather than just closing in on
10886s	zero and brawling out rageous Lee with
10890s	Vindicator and Redeemer here
10896s	it will be difficult however to do that
10899s	kiting when you're facing against a
10901s	stork and a bifrost as well as an
10902s	arbitrator that are sure to be full of
10905s	mid slot e-war that will greatly reduce
10909s	the effectiveness of these heavy
10911s	missiles to projected range
10914s	yeah I think you might be right I'm
10916s	looking more closely at those tricks I
10918s	thought those were ham Drakes
10920s	I think you are right though we are
10922s	seeing some heavy missiles so they will
10923s	attempt to kite
10925s	the Platinum sensitivity team doesn't
10927s	really have a ton of projected damage
10929s	although that said the Redeemer can fit
10932s	some long range even if it's pulse fit
10934s	Scorch hits far
10936s	yeah and of note it looks like this
10939s	typhoon Fleet issue is torpedoes
10942s	so they are definitely on the Platinum
10944s	side wanting to fight in at close range
10948s	um and not really wanting to fight at
10951s	distance if that typhoon was fit with
10954s	Heavies oh and I don't know if it's
10956s	going to matter because that stork is
10958s	already kind of eating [ __ ] right now
10960s	it's getting put down into low armor uh
10962s	it's getting hit and now it's down
10965s	fabulous call from waveform Volta you
10968s	know the stork is going to have the
10969s	weakest armor tank on the enemy team the
10970s	bifrost will not be much better as it's
10973s	now getting its Shields taken out and
10974s	the armor will go relatively fast now
10977s	their Logistics should be more prepared
10978s	this time around but you can still see
10980s	it's steadily dropping they're getting
10982s	in some rep Cycles but it won't be
10984s	enough the bifrost just does not have
10985s	the low slots to fit a respectable armor
10988s	tank as it goes down and that's the
10990s	links off for platinum sensitivity yeah
10992s	and crucially it's also going to be a
10994s	lot of the mid-fought E War uh I can't
10996s	help but feel like this match was very
10999s	much lost in the draft phase for
11001s	platinum sensitivity you have a
11003s	Vindicator you know absorb typhoon Fleet
11007s	issue and a redeemer they're all very
11008s	very good at fighting in at close range
11010s	but I mean there's really nothing on
11013s	this Volta side that's going to be in a
11015s	close range typhoon Fleet is getting
11017s	fairly close to control freak and
11020s	thrantha's uh Drake Navy issue but
11022s	they're doing a better job than their
11024s	counterparts in Odin's call at not
11026s	getting caught by battleships so we'll
11028s	play to both of them
11030s	and unlike templar's calcif's triple
11032s	Battleship core from one of the previous
11033s	matches fighting a missile kite comp
11035s	Platinum sensitivity does not have the
11037s	projected newts or projected webs to
11040s	snare one of those ships as they're
11042s	trying to turn they really don't have an
11044s	answer for this The Vindicator might get
11046s	lucky it might be able to microwave
11048s	drive around and get on top of someone
11049s	and land one of those webs but it's it
11052s	it's almost down to chance I think he
11055s	has managed to run down one of the
11056s	Drakes here control freak is now tackled
11059s	and webbed but it might be too little
11061s	too late here their arbitrator is
11063s	already taking damage the sky breaker is
11065s	taking some damage they've lost all the
11067s	shields off of their logistic frigates
11069s	who are also taking damage it's just too
11070s	much for them to keep track of and the
11072s	arbitrator goes down
11073s	yeah uh control freak or thrawn thrather
11076s	is with a little bit out of position
11079s	um uh
11080s	so now they're gonna lose a Thalia and
11084s	an arbitrator at the same time
11086s	yeah I mean they're gonna get the strike
11087s	Navy issue but that's all your Logie
11089s	down and at this point it's just gonna
11090s	be a slow death it'll be very likely a
11093s	16 to 100 game hate I hate to call it
11097s	with seven minutes remaining on the
11099s	clock but that's kind of what it is when
11100s	you lose uh you're logging this early in
11102s	the match and don't have projection
11105s	yep I think you're right as the sky
11107s	breaker now also goes down these
11109s	battleships are starting to look more
11110s	and more lonely they've got a
11111s	stormbringer for company but that will
11113s	not be long for this world either
11114s	They're Gonna Come Away with this Drake
11116s	kill but already the we form Volta team
11118s	has kited away from that Drake so now
11121s	they've killed one thing there's really
11123s	nothing else for them to turn around and
11124s	shoot they've got a microwarp drive all
11127s	the way across the other side of the
11128s	Arena practically to get on top of
11130s	something
11130s	and that is looking less and less likely
11133s	as their support continues to vaporize
11136s	yeah I mean unfortunately for platinum
11139s	sensitivity it feels like they got a
11142s	little bit predictable with their
11143s	compositions bringing essentially three
11146s	armor BS every time and Volta finally
11148s	called their Bluff
11150s	um a faction bar gift or Flagship at
11152s	Argus rather with those uh essentially
11155s	officer scrams is the very last thing
11159s	you want to run into as a Vindicator
11161s	you're just never going to be able to
11163s	close range against what will be 40
11165s	kilometer scrams and we see that The
11167s	Vindicator is just not able to get
11170s	anywhere near anything as this redeemer
11172s	is already down into half armor
11174s	the Redeemer is an interesting choice I
11176s	wonder what their game plan was bringing
11178s	the Deemer in it has been buffed but
11181s	it's still a lot of points for what it
11183s	actually brings to the table compared to
11185s	cheaper alternatives like the Armageddon
11187s	what do you think they were hoping for
11190s	um to be perfectly honest
11193s	um I'm not
11195s	100 on top of the meta as far why you
11198s	would bring a redeemer over the
11201s	Armageddon uh they must have seen
11202s	something in their training and testing
11204s	that made them feel like uh perhaps The
11207s	Tech 2 resists were more worth it over
11210s	the tech one that you would have in a
11213s	you know a Faction Armageddon but uh I
11217s	don't think it's going to matter too
11218s	much uh both
11220s	teams are about to good fight here
11223s	um typhoon Fleet issue already down into
11226s	mid to what will soon be low armor
11231s	yeah I think Platinum sensitivity maybe
11234s	just didn't keep up with the patches to
11236s	the Navy ships they just seemed dead set
11239s	and bring this comp they had the pawn
11240s	effects and the mega spanned out and
11242s	they replaced them with a stork and
11243s	bifrost rather than alter their setup
11246s	uh just some strange choices in the
11249s	drafting phase from Platinum sensitivity
11250s	and they're paying for it here we've got
11253s	this typhoon Fleet issue he's into half
11255s	armor he's dropping slowly he's trying
11257s	to hold on but there's really not much
11258s	he can do in response there's no targets
11261s	there tackled down for him his Torpedoes
11263s	will not reach effectively
11265s	uh there is a web now on the sky breaker
11268s	the sky breaker looks like it may have
11270s	been vindi Webb that is dropping speed
11272s	rapidly
11273s	but that will not change the course of
11276s	this match in in any material way
11279s	yeah I mean I don't want to make too
11281s	much fun of platinum sensitivity what
11283s	they brought would have done very very
11285s	well in an armor versus Armor match
11287s	where control would have been
11290s	um a key factor that's probably why you
11292s	would be bring the Redeemer again for
11294s	those who resist you would but
11297s	um and maybe they felt like they had to
11298s	go for kind of an all-in
11300s	raid there in order to have a chance
11303s	against Volta team that they're an
11305s	underdog against uh the sky breaker does
11307s	go down for reasons I don't totally
11310s	understand at this point they're just
11312s	killing off the typhoon Fleet issue at
11316s	this point and we'll see if Mark Bridges
11318s	is an honorable samurai warrior or if
11321s	he's going to try to micro jump drive
11323s	and spool himself out of the arena and
11325s	take his Flagship loot out with him
11328s	Arena
11333s	you just get loose though he's near
11335s	another micro jump unit we'll see if
11336s	we'll go two for two
11338s	yeah uh he's turning around so he's not
11341s	trying to
11342s	um take his loot out of the arena with
11344s	him he's trying to survive the next
11346s	three minutes of the match which
11349s	you know it's understandable uh you want
11352s	to keep all of what is going to be
11355s	presumably very very expensive uh
11357s	faction and probably officer Webb's the
11360s	hyena however doing a pretty good job of
11363s	getting a drive-by web and paint that's
11365s	gonna be Tick Tock one of the better
11367s	Alliance tournament Players for the
11369s	Volta roster
11372s	we've seen calls and local to Kill The
11374s	Vindicator and not to let him boundary
11376s	violate he is doing his best to Mosey on
11379s	over to that other micro jump he's
11381s	heavily webbed though his speed is
11382s	dropping
11383s	it's crawling he's managed to get into
11386s	range though we're seeing the activation
11388s	animation and here he goes
11391s	he's microarp driving toward the other
11393s	side of the Arena he's not going for the
11395s	boundary here
11397s	yeah shot himself forward well away from
11400s	the enemy team but they're rapidly
11401s	repositioning to get tackle on him again
11403s	two minutes left in this match
11406s	yeah and one of the things about being a
11408s	Vindicator is that you're not going to
11410s	outrun what are heavy missile
11412s	um you know heavy missile boats the
11415s	heavy missile bolts are going to have no
11416s	trouble projecting to essentially all of
11418s	the Arena now that there's two minutes
11419s	left in the match he's about half armor
11421s	he's trying to burn for one of uh the
11424s	far micro jump drive beacons but I don't
11427s	think he's gonna get there uh Tick Tock
11429s	is too on the ball getting the web and
11432s	it's gonna slow him down that's going to
11435s	be X-Type rappers but I don't think that
11437s	Marcus gonna be able to hold out for the
11439s	next minute in 40 seconds
11441s	and his local defense bar is is pretty
11444s	girthy for being one ship so he has some
11446s	I can't even begin to imagine how
11449s	expensive those rappers are uh but it's
11452s	still not enough there's just too much
11453s	of the Wii form Volta team still alive
11455s	they've got damaged drones they've got
11457s	uh high damage High projection missiles
11459s	they don't really have to worry about
11461s	kiting around so they can definitely
11462s	swap to rage here and do everything they
11465s	can to try to put him away there's one
11466s	minute left he does have a pretty thick
11468s	structure he's still pulling back armor
11470s	it is conceivable that they just don't
11474s	have the DPS to bring him down within
11475s	the time limit of the match and that's
11477s	really what he's playing for here he's
11479s	playing for time this is all taking
11481s	place on Tranquility this is real isk
11483s	it's not a test server so there is a
11485s	considerable incentive for him to try to
11487s	stay alive here but he is now hitting
11490s	structure and it's going away much more
11492s	rapidly than mark would like
11493s	yeah that's going to probably depend if
11495s	any guard debt is or is not on a Reload
11497s	and he is not on a Reload he is clipping
11499s	him out and that will be the end of that
11502s	so uh Tick Tock and the rest of the
11504s	Volta team is rushing to try to scoop
11507s	that loot hopefully the referees give
11508s	them enough time to uh pick up that very
11511s	expensive Flagship kill
11514s	um
11515s	I really don't think Platinum
11516s	sensitivity really could have done
11517s	anything differently in that match
11519s	unfortunately but let's see what the
11521s	desk has to say about that as we send it
11523s	back to them
11527s	[Music]
11543s	thank you
11551s	cider's up
11565s	the damn Pump It Up why your team is
11568s	stomping and today I'm so pumping look
11571s	here at the ground is jumping on
11574s	a little more get the party going on the
11576s	Dance Floor
11605s	foreign
11607s	Volta there taking the victory over
11609s	Platinum sensitivity Platinum
11610s	sensitivity still in the tournament they
11612s	are knocked down to the lower bracket at
11614s	this point unfortunately for them they
11616s	could not retain the uh the last
11619s	remaining one structure hit point which
11620s	is the most important hit point in the
11621s	game of Eve online of their Flagship
11623s	Vindicator and that has gone down I'm
11625s	told we will get the kill me as soon as
11627s	possible is uh 55 no more than that 75
11630s	billion isk Flagship Vindicator that is
11633s	a spicy meatball right there uh yeah
11636s	there's a core Max modified damage
11637s	control in the low slots they're 36
11639s	billion alone so Mark Bridges did a
11641s	great job trying to survive at the end
11643s	there he managed to pull it out for
11644s	about three minutes or so unfortunately
11646s	he needed three minutes 40 seconds uh
11648s	which was a bit of a shame Mr come out
11650s	you were talking uh during well he was
11651s	jumping from Beacon to Beacon uh that he
11653s	got his angles wrong one of them what
11655s	happened yeah so we've kind of brushed
11658s	over it a few times in some of these
11659s	matches where we say that they're
11660s	burning back towards an mjd beacon in
11663s	the arena in the arena there are a bunch
11665s	of mjd beacons set out in a square
11667s	formation with one in the middle if you
11669s	jump from one corner of the square to
11671s	another there are exactly 100 kilometers
11673s	apart so you can effectively chain mjd
11676s	around the arena constantly which does
11679s	allow you to
11681s	if you're in this case trying to run
11682s	away from the enemy team with your
11683s	Flagship Vindicator avoid the damage
11686s	what Mark ended up doing is that he went
11689s	for an mjd at a poor angle which sent
11691s	him in between four different mjdu notes
11694s	but none of them were Within Reach and
11697s	Tick-Tock in the hyena is able to burn
11699s	in and web mark down so that he can't
11700s	get to those mjd beacons to continue
11702s	jumping around so yeah I think with a
11705s	little bit less Panic a little bit more
11707s	planning on that initial mjd that we saw
11710s	um he would have just lived for the
11711s	entire time but it's a 75 billion
11713s	mistake yeah that is a expensive mistake
11718s	um speaking of not mistakes CCP cash
11719s	flow you really liked after we saw that
11721s	match the bands that Volta had done you
11723s	thought they were very targeted tell me
11724s	about that yeah so really full it really
11726s	felt like Volta had their number they
11728s	only bought the triple armor core team
11730s	over and over again so Volta decided to
11732s	ban out the pontifex and the Magus which
11734s	are the the armor command destroyers
11736s	which meant that to bring that same
11738s	setup
11740s	Platinum sensitivity bought a bifuss and
11742s	a stock instead but the buy first on a
11744s	stalker just they don't have much of a
11746s	tank at all right the stock only has two
11748s	low slots the buy for study has free low
11750s	slots both of them have pretty huge
11752s	explosive holes so and that are pretty
11754s	hard to hard to feel when you only have
11756s	two rigs lots and three low slots so it
11759s	feels like they forced them into
11760s	bringing that they knew that they were
11761s	going to bring that and then they just
11762s	blew those ships up straight away at the
11763s	start of the match and then without
11765s	links it was just so hard for them to
11767s	pin anything down and Volta aside from
11769s	you know a few ships getting tackled and
11771s	killed they've pretty much executed it
11774s	almost perfectly and just completely
11775s	destroyed them
11777s	yeah I was just going to say in terms of
11779s	the bands that we saw as well I would
11781s	have liked if the Platinum sensitivity
11783s	team had perhaps targeted their bands a
11785s	little bit more towards what Vault had
11787s	actually been flying earlier in the
11788s	tournament as they have effectively
11790s	thrown kadari Rush
11792s	in both of their other matches and now
11795s	they've flown kadari kite in another one
11797s	so a couple of targeted bands towards
11799s	that setup would have also impacted this
11800s	setup as well
11802s	excellent well as I say we will see
11803s	Platinum sensitivity again uh this was
11805s	the winners bracket match so they
11807s	dropped down there is one match
11809s	remaining in the winners bracket uh to
11811s	get the uh the four remaining in that
11813s	particular bracket the rest of the
11814s	team's all being knocked down and we
11816s	will see some elimination matches after
11817s	the break but first let's go to gym time
11820s	with a quick interview with the captain
11821s	of Brave Collective
11822s	first of all can you introduce yourself
11824s	to the audience please I am doing I and
11828s	I represent the brave Collective
11830s	Alliance and what does brave do on
11833s	Tranquility outside of the tournament we
11835s	fight people for fun uh we're a
11838s	reasonably large uh Null Sec Alliance we
11841s	were
11843s	founded seven and a bit years ago and we
11847s	live in pure blind where we're currently
11850s	at war with uh fraternity we are known
11853s	for having a good attitude towards
11857s	fights and a lot of people come to our
11859s	solve systems in order to fight us and
11863s	our standing Fleet we are a mid-sized
11867s	Alliance compared to the largest ones
11869s	but uh yeah we we enjoy fighting a lot
11874s	so what's Brave collective's competitive
11876s	history are there any major results that
11879s	you've had or you know players from
11880s	teams you've done well in the past
11882s	we have a
11884s	pretty unbroken line of tournament
11888s	Players
11889s	I was on the team
11893s	for an 80 many many years ago
11897s	and
11898s	after that I was not very engaged with
11903s	um
11904s	that aspect of Eve despite the fact that
11909s	I got into Eve in order to play
11911s	tournaments in the uh the first time I
11914s	tried
11916s	but I think we have an unbroken line of
11919s	tournament Players all the way back to
11922s	our first tournament more or less
11924s	currently
11925s	on the team we have now we have our
11929s	previous Captain who is sandor Vol and
11934s	he actually took over for
11937s	um the person who is currently CCP
11940s	Aurora
11941s	so
11942s	we've um we've had a tournament team for
11946s	as long as I've been in Brave and
11951s	our best result I think is
11954s	I think we've got top eight one year
11956s	that's before my time
11958s	other than that we
11961s	are probably more a mid-tier team
11965s	are there any teams that you're excited
11967s	to face either as a chance to get
11968s	revenge or to prove yourself we have uh
11972s	a lot of Frenemies in the tournaments in
11975s	people who we compete against measure
11978s	ourselves against and practice with
11981s	and anyone who's ever knocked us out of
11984s	a tournament is always on the top of our
11987s	list of teams that we want to face again
11989s	and prove that that time was a fluke and
11991s	this is the time that really counts like
11994s	last year we were knocked out by um
11997s	bsod and we'd like to fly against them
12000s	again and show that we can go head to
12004s	head against the people we like to fly
12006s	against
12010s	they are a brave Collective no cursed by
12012s	jintan uh so just a quick Amendment on
12015s	the flagship Vindicator that we just
12017s	lost in the last match we've reviewed it
12018s	a little bit closer there was a Tobias
12020s	modified status webifier on it which is
12022s	approximately 60 70 billion at the
12023s	minute so the total value of that
12026s	um Flagship indicator probably more like
12028s	120 to 140 billion ISC that is many many
12032s	isks now let's take a quick look at the
12034s	bands for this match coming up block
12035s	range enjoys versus brief Collective
12038s	so lock range enjoy is Banning out the
12040s	bar gas the EOS and the Osprey Navy
12042s	issue with brave Banning out the curse
12044s	the Drake and Aviation the hyena
12045s	mystical might what do you see here uh
12048s	hmm I think it's interesting that we're
12050s	seeing an osprey Navy issue ban since
12051s	it's been essential for a lot of the
12053s	kadai rush comps that we've seen
12054s	um so typically with the kadari rush
12056s	you'll see Navy caracals and navy
12057s	Ospreys since they do quite a bit of
12059s	damage and they're also fairly cheap
12060s	points wise the Drake Navy Band on the
12063s	brave Collective side makes me think
12064s	that they're trying to remove kiting a
12066s	little bit especially when paired with
12067s	the hyena since uh Drake Navy issues
12070s	less common in the rush rolls and more
12072s	common in the kardari kite setups that
12075s	we've been seeing earlier in the day and
12076s	uh also last weekend but yeah I mean the
12079s	car span is always a standard
12081s	and cpcast or anything to add to this no
12084s	I think Misty has pretty much spot on
12086s	here um I don't really see these bands
12089s	being super specific other than Brave
12091s	probably trying to avoid kiting if they
12093s	can especially combined with the curse
12095s	band as well they might be trying to
12097s	bring something like double The Shack or
12098s	get it get rid of the like Fast cutting
12101s	stuff get rid of the curse which is the
12103s	major biggest obstacle to bring a double
12105s	check then you can bring just a little
12107s	shark or a big armor core and boss at
12110s	least force them to run like a more
12112s	sub-optimal cutting setup if they are
12114s	going to yeah so it's time to go over
12115s	three and find out who will win between
12117s	Locker engine doro's and brave
12118s	Collective as we could know
12127s	hello I am moderator joined by my
12129s	colleague Alexander for yet another
12132s	Shield kite versus uh armor brawling
12134s	matchup we see that lock range enjoyers
12137s	is going to enjoy targeting things at a
12139s	long distance with that triple Navy
12141s	executive comp we've seen get used along
12145s	with what appear to be artillery
12149s	schlepners and hurricane Fleet issue
12151s	against
12152s	um the armor comp of Brave uh walk
12155s	through that armor cop for me here
12157s	Brave's armor comp is Senator Iran a
12159s	leshack Navy getting in a fleet Tempest
12161s	they've got Magus Ponte for links to
12163s	Logistics frigates and simple heretic
12166s	vexer giving them some tackle that some
12168s	of the previous armored Battleship comps
12170s	have lacked
12172s	so we've seen this kind of triple
12173s	executive Navy
12175s	um so far in the event why would someone
12176s	to choose to use that many points on
12179s	those ships
12181s	well they have been recently buffed they
12183s	are quite good
12184s	um they are extremely fast so if you
12187s	want to talk some kind of kiting setup
12190s	they're already fantastic for that
12192s	they've got an intense speed and with
12194s	the railguns the amount of damage but as
12196s	they get gives them a pretty respectable
12198s	Alpha which works well with the fleet
12200s	Kane Seffner they have going on we see
12202s	that heretic gets sniped out immediately
12204s	yeah that's going to be the power of 720
12207s	artillery uh backed by railguns and
12210s	they're still able to track things that
12212s	are putting damage onto a vexer they're
12214s	putting damage onto a Thalia and just
12216s	now while Retros are getting on top of
12217s	that Thalia I mean if this Thalia goes
12220s	down already it's going to be probably
12222s	game but uh he is apparently stabilizing
12225s	we see that Adrian is uh on top of
12228s	things getting reps to his friend uh
12230s	meanwhile the vexer
12232s	um taking a lot of drone damage
12235s	yeah the locker engine jar is making the
12237s	most out of the surprise of their
12239s	artillery and Alpha strike comp taking
12241s	that heretic out that is one half of the
12243s	fast tackle for brave now they've
12245s	switched over to Omega it's an
12246s	absolutely evaporated him you're seeing
12248s	a theme here where they're able to kill
12250s	these destroyers with uh alarming
12252s	rapidity as the spiffle now stripped of
12256s	its Shields half armor dropping into
12258s	structure these ships are dying so
12260s	quickly the logistics frigates from
12262s	braver having a difficult time reacting
12264s	and being destroyers they are easy
12266s	targets he's he's dipping ever so
12269s	slightly now is oh he's gone oh yeah
12272s	that's harsh That's The Power of 720
12275s	artillery we haven't seen a lot of it in
12276s	this tournament so far but uh Locker
12278s	range enjoyers uh reminding us why it's
12281s	effective why it's been brought in so
12282s	many events and uh that's going to be
12284s	one link shift down I can't help but
12286s	feel like the pontifex of Arcos that's
12288s	being primaried is definitely going to
12291s	be the next kill Target here we're just
12293s	gonna wait for that artillery to keep
12295s	loading and seeing if the Folly and
12298s	Deacon which are in range can apply to
12302s	that however blue morpheme is getting
12303s	applied to as well uh this vulture
12306s	that's not very fast is being chased
12308s	down by a lecheck that's slowly but
12310s	surely spooling up on him yeah the lock
12313s	range enjoyers have moved to the edge of
12315s	the range literally to the edge of the
12317s	Arena they've found themselves in a
12319s	position where they had to turn around
12320s	but as they did they found the triple
12322s	Battleship core hot on their heels
12323s	they've pinned down this vulture he's
12325s	getting neuted out and now he's down
12327s	that is a pretty significant chunk of
12329s	links off of law grade enjoyers as well
12331s	but critically not the Skirmish links
12333s	they're going to want the most speaking
12335s	they're still in the commanding position
12336s	here as they pop the phalia from Brave
12339s	Collective that's taking out half their
12341s	lodgy that means the other Deacon will
12343s	be sure to follow quickly yeah however
12345s	speaking of that we're going to see a
12346s	logic trade the vexer of Aaron Gaul has
12348s	been on top of 10 Baron for the last 20
12351s	seconds or so and that's going to be
12353s	essentially trading out
12355s	an osprey for the entire support wing of
12358s	Brave I think lock range is going to be
12360s	pretty happy to take that as we see the
12363s	vexer go down and the Deacon continue to
12367s	have a cloud of drones and railguns on
12369s	top of him so 10 drops at the same time
12372s	but it's three battleships versus the
12373s	world right now
12375s	yep and uh the lock range team has
12377s	already kited away from those
12378s	battleships there's no immediate clear
12380s	Target for them to turn on as I say that
12382s	though the hurricane Fleet issue from
12384s	Lock range enjoyers barreling straight
12386s	toward them in a very curious decision
12388s	uh he is slowed down I think he's
12391s	realized this error and he started to
12392s	turn it doesn't look like they are going
12395s	to make him pay for it although okay so
12398s	they're going after the striker Eric's
12400s	Navy extra they've landed a long range
12402s	nude on him what they're going to hope
12404s	for is that that Newt turns off his
12405s	micro warp drive but you can see him
12407s	speeding along at 2300 meters a second
12409s	and Rising the speed of the Navy
12411s	executed not to be underestimated
12413s	meanwhile you ever get a Navy issue is
12415s	about to pay the iron price he is going
12418s	down and that is a tremendous amount of
12420s	their remaining long-range tackle
12423s	yeah they may very well kill Striker
12425s	Erica with the uh cable utas
12428s	um
12429s	entropic
12431s	um well damage dealer
12433s	um now actually out of range of him the
12435s	flepner we see a lot of ships from
12438s	um lock range getting to mid-range
12441s	trying to apply more damage instead of
12443s	going to
12444s	um you know kite at
12447s	um you know all full distance but with
12449s	lower damage ammo uh lock range realizes
12451s	that they can fully win the DPS trade
12453s	comfortably with what they have trying
12455s	to break any sort of active tank that do
12458s	check and now laid in head and with that
12460s	I think we're what 043 maybe over four
12464s	on uh interviews that Jim Thomas had
12466s	before a match
12468s	and also my point betting
12472s	that said uh the fleet Tempest now he's
12475s	now dipping into half armor it looks
12476s	like Striker Erica's Navy Exeter is safe
12479s	they've switched over to gronkata's
12481s	sleffner he is grappled and neuted now
12484s	he's broken the grapple it's hard to say
12487s	if he'll be able to escape with his life
12488s	the Seffner has a very thick tank
12491s	uh he is going to be able to hold on for
12493s	a while the fleet Tempest meanwhile
12494s	cannot say the same as he dips into
12496s	structure here leaving cable it is the
12498s	Shack by itself Le Shack a fantastic
12500s	ship both in the tournament and in
12502s	Tranquility but not enough to one-man
12504s	Army against a kiting comp like this
12508s	yeah I mean the lock range enjoy your
12510s	team is something that I think a few
12512s	people have slept on uh they were
12514s	essentially the uh what we now know is
12516s	the better half of um only need uh two
12520s	comps that made it to top four in the
12523s	previous Alliance tournament
12525s	um the French half or portion of that
12527s	team getting eliminated whereas lock
12529s	range enjoyers you know getting into top
12532s	eight with this victory over Brave
12534s	Collective
12535s	um showing that they very much belong in
12538s	this upper echelon of teams
12541s	yeah Loch Ranger jurors are a higher
12543s	class of gentlemen uh you know you
12546s	they enjoy the Finer Things in life they
12548s	enjoy locking from long range primarily
12550s	and their comp set for the most part
12553s	reflected that and it's brought them a
12554s	lot of success here it looks like
12556s	gruncato's leftner will probably go down
12559s	here he's in very low armor that said Le
12563s	Shack has stopped applying any
12564s	meaningful damage to him likely because
12566s	of that tracking disruptor just out of
12568s	range breaking the spool
12570s	uh you've also got Striker Erica's
12572s	executor probably in range now the Le
12575s	Shack switching targets and bringing him
12577s	down but it's going to be minor
12579s	consolation as cable UDA himself drops
12581s	into structure and he will die presently
12584s	this was a very exciting match these
12587s	triple armor Battleship cord not doing
12589s	well against the kite cop meta that has
12591s	been dominant today as this Le Shack
12594s	well as I was gonna say as he dies he
12597s	gets one of the last gasp of armor in
12599s	and he goes down we'll throw it back to
12601s	the desk to break this down
12606s	[Music]

12659s	connected Channel switched well it would
12662s	have been a fun easy fight right but
12663s	guess what dude I'm not if seeing it
12665s	people can't get they're fit together
12671s	crash our enemies your temps are
12673s	completely damned out Crush I'm dumped
12676s	out I'm dumped out you don't like Travis
12677s	boys
12688s	there you are so lock range drawers
12690s	taking the victory over Brave Collective
12692s	uh in a very convincing win there uh
12695s	we've actually gone through during that
12696s	match and updated some of our graphs uh
12698s	to bring them totally up to date let's
12700s	take a look now uh so as we can see here
12702s	the win rate after displaying Gentiles
12704s	interview remains a solid zero percent
12708s	um that is a pretty effective curse if
12710s	I've ever seen one uh so again captains
12712s	if you want us to hold back your
12714s	interviews uh please do get in touch so
12716s	we can ignore you uh now we are going to
12718s	go to a break and then we'll be back for
12720s	some more explosions shortly

14299s	welcome back to Alliance tournament 18 I
14301s	am TCP overload joined once again by
14303s	mystical my and Yin tan
14305s	um we have more matches more explosions
14307s	uh and I'm an explosion enjoyer Mr
14309s	gomato you're an explosion Ninja
14311s	if they're the right type of explosion I
14313s	might not be an enjoyer of explosions in
14315s	this next match interesting you should
14316s	say that this next match is going to be
14318s	truth honor light versus dark side so we
14321s	are now in elimination matches because
14323s	truth on a light dropped a match earlier
14324s	on to the tuskers co and now they're
14327s	fighting for their lives now they're in
14328s	a situation where if they don't win this
14330s	best of one series they're out and the
14332s	dark side team is a good team Mr I was
14335s	gonna say actually we're fighting for
14336s	skins because uh the more matches you
14339s	win the more skin do you get it's not
14341s	something that we typically mention and
14342s	going through a loser's bracket run
14344s	means that you play more matches more
14346s	matches equals more wins equals more
14348s	skins awesome then where exactly are you
14350s	hiding the rest of your copium because I
14351s	can't see it from here I've used up my
14353s	Supply there are a few empty cans under
14356s	the desk I'm gonna have to run to get
14358s	more during the next match let's take a
14360s	look at the bands for this upcoming
14361s	match and see what these teams have
14363s	chosen to ban out
14367s	so truth on a light binding out the
14369s	Ishtar Stratus and bar guest and
14371s	Darkseid Banning out the slept near
14372s	jackdot and Scimitar interesting sets of
14375s	bands uh jintan the stratus we saw I
14376s	believe Josh said using asratios but is
14379s	it bandworthy
14380s	um I don't know but it seems like truth
14381s	or not like maybe either haven't prepped
14383s	against it or have prepped uh have done
14385s	enough testing to know that it beats one
14386s	of the comps that they really favor what
14388s	I find interesting about this band
14389s	choice is that Darkseid have gone for
14391s	something completely different from what
14393s	they've previously banned
14394s	um historically they've banned the
14396s	balgorn Scimitar and the curse that has
14399s	been their band for their previous three
14400s	matches
14402s	um so it's going to be you know maybe
14403s	they're planning to use one of those
14404s	ships or maybe they just think they have
14406s	a read on what truth on the light are
14408s	going to bring and want to completely
14409s	shut that down
14411s	let's climate is that true do they have
14413s	a read on you
14414s	uh I will confirm or deny any comments
14418s	and statements after this match okay
14420s	we'll see all right we'll see all right
14422s	so uh projections I know what you're
14423s	predicting yeah Dark Side of course I'm
14426s	going to protect Tristana late then to
14428s	character in my circle my jintan uh yeah
14430s	I'm gonna predict truth on a light as
14432s	well you know ducks are a great team but
14434s	uh I think truth on all I have this and
14437s	do we have an interview with uh truth on
14439s	the light by any chance no I do not oh
14440s	that's a shame oh well let's go to the
14442s	arena and find out who's going to win
14443s	between truth on a light and dark side
14450s	hello this is Alexa card back with my
14453s	broadcast partner moderator as we
14455s	unveiled truth honor and light versus
14457s	Darkseid truth honor and light has
14460s	brought a flagship bargast EOS a neros
14464s	orthos double Blackbird pontifex
14466s	Sentinel carries vexer the armor orthos
14469s	by Kadesh Priestess very interested to
14472s	see how this works out for them
14473s	moderator what if Darkseid brought to
14475s	the field
14477s	uh well Darkseid has chosen to bring a
14481s	heavy missile kite comp with two healers
14484s	supported by a Loki for some webs and a
14487s	scalpel Kieran for their Logistics it'll
14490s	be interesting to see
14493s	um
14493s	how these teams choose to kind of Face
14496s	Off against each other with
14498s	um Bargas you know we usually think of
14500s	that as a essentially a shield ship but
14504s	it does really work well in armor comps
14507s	as well especially if you bring a flag
14509s	bargift like Dexter axio has that will
14513s	essentially have a 40 kilometer scram
14515s	that will be pretty effective at chasing
14517s	down these kiting ships
14521s	yeah the distributed scrams on the truth
14523s	honor Light Team certainly I would think
14526s	hoping to keep these teams at range or
14528s	if they're against a kite comp it'll
14529s	greatly increase their ability to pin
14531s	them down when they try to turn we're
14532s	about to kick this match off as links
14534s	have popped and we'll see how this match
14537s	develops Darkseid likely looking to stay
14540s	away do you think or do you expect them
14542s	to try to go in
14544s	uh I mean I think they have to stay away
14546s	you're in a kite comp you have to do
14548s	that even if
14549s	circumstances make that difficult you
14553s	still have to play through the strengths
14554s	of your setup and go with that off the
14556s	bat we're seeing that there is some
14559s	disruption coming from The Sentinel of
14562s	knife hiking that will be onto the
14565s	Nighthawk and the Navy Drake make sense
14567s	it's the two heaviest damaging
14569s	um heavy missile ships in the entire
14571s	Dark Side comp meanwhile Nick domar is
14574s	having his Shields chipped away as he
14577s	along with his bargiest buddy is closing
14579s	in
14580s	against that dark side kite comp
14583s	it looked for a moment like the barcus
14585s	might have been going for the micro jump
14586s	unit but it will instead decide to
14588s	Barrel into the dark side team and more
14590s	conventionally it's looking for its
14592s	initial scram hasn't quite found it yet
14594s	but you are seeing these ecms the damps
14597s	it's all being distributed out to the
14598s	dark side team meanwhile Dark Side
14600s	concentrating all the control they have
14602s	on the bar guest trying to isolate it
14605s	and insulate themselves from its damage
14607s	and Tackle as much as humanly possible
14609s	yeah they do have webs that will be the
14611s	hyena of evazen or possibly the Loki of
14615s	faffy wafi we see that knife is a
14619s	brainstorm rather is using his carries
14621s	to try to
14623s	um you know mitigate the range of those
14626s	long range ships we see uh the carries
14629s	taking a little bit of damage but that's
14630s	just from
14632s	um with some drones and possibly a
14634s	little bit of missiles he's pretty safe
14636s	at the moment uh Dexter's taking again
14639s	Shield damage but
14640s	um he's been able to hold down this Fly
14642s	Catcher And it looks like hydra's just
14644s	going to try to play against the low end
14646s	now that they've got that scrammed
14648s	aheen and the Loki are playing a very
14650s	dangerous game here their web range is
14652s	not going to be much further than the
14654s	Bargas scram range they are at risk of
14656s	getting scrammed at any moment looks
14658s	like the fly catcher of tick tocks has
14660s	been caught he's gonna drop very rapidly
14662s	there uh that is the first Blood over to
14665s	truth honor light but they are not in
14667s	that commanding of a position both teams
14669s	kind of jockeying around for that
14670s	Advantage right now
14673s	um that said we have a scram onto the
14675s	Loki that will be Dexter axio so I mean
14678s	that's pretty pivotal if you can break a
14680s	Loki and even if brainstross carries
14683s	which is taking damage from again a
14685s	cloud of light drones you're pretty
14687s	happy with that uh the Loki going down
14689s	into about half
14691s	um shield and the hyena getting in maybe
14694s	a little bit too close and will go down
14696s	to uh rapid lights
14699s	not even tackle the hyena just being
14701s	deleted the Loki it is a shield tank
14704s	Loki it's got about half of its Shield
14705s	remaining a little bit over it is
14707s	getting some reps so it's not I mean I
14711s	wouldn't be panicking if I were the Loki
14713s	pilot but he's definitely not in a great
14714s	position with that scram from the bar
14716s	guest he is going to be absolutely
14718s	isolated there the team kind of has to
14720s	play around him because he's pinned they
14723s	have to decide if they're going to get
14725s	into range of the Bargas and commit or
14727s	leave him to die and now we see truth
14729s	honor light going after the scalpel
14731s	which has come in to rep the Loki
14733s	scalpel not necessarily gonna have a
14736s	micro warp drive there so he was not as
14739s	much risk from the bar guest but still
14741s	dangerous if they go down then the uh
14744s	Karen will go down followed by the rest
14745s	of their team in short order yeah so um
14748s	hydra's just ignoring the low key so
14750s	Dexter axio still has a scram on it from
14752s	range and now the vexer of China Tech
14754s	has to pass it off but what they've done
14755s	is completely isolated the Loki with the
14757s	scram and now the bar guest is free to
14759s	get on top of uh targets of opportunity
14762s	they have a scram Newt jams on top of
14764s	the Kirin of recorder us they're going
14766s	to continue applying damage to him and
14769s	I'm thinking he's going to go down
14770s	pretty soon the scalpel doesn't look
14772s	like he has enough rep power with what
14775s	Hider is putting out to really keep that
14777s	Kieran up uh excellent job of uh orante
14781s	that'll be Jordan and warpout uh putting
14784s	on jams and putting pressure so the Cure
14785s	goes down scalp will seemed to follow
14787s	yeah the scaffold was jammed out for the
14790s	majority of that kieran's damage cycle
14792s	they're gonna try to trade some damage
14794s	back on the Sentinel vexer and pond
14796s	effects The Sentinel may even go down
14798s	here but that is not worth it for
14799s	Darkseid losing that Kieran was a huge
14802s	huge loss their Nighthawk is also
14804s	tackled Down The Gila scrammed down and
14806s	webbed they're losing considerable
14808s	chunks of their team not yet Perhaps but
14811s	they are lined up in queue for truth
14813s	honor like to pick off at their Leisure
14815s	because without that second Logistics
14817s	forget how it's a scapula is very easily
14819s	controlled and they can kill it anytime
14821s	they want meanwhile The Gila is taking
14823s	significant fire he's down to one-third
14825s	Shield trying to claw back but it's a
14828s	losing battle Yeah if you look at
14830s	darkseid's control bar they have nothing
14831s	left in the tank
14833s	um General Hungary is completely safe
14835s	right now and truthfully with what
14837s	Darkseid has right now if they don't
14839s	kill General Hungary somehow or
14841s	neutralize him from the fight hydras is
14844s	going to run away with this 100 to know
14846s	oh I say that his brainstra gets rather
14848s	low and might even die if he's in about
14850s	half hole but now getting wrapped up
14853s	um that said the Gila down into low
14857s	Shields continuing to be the primary
14859s	um the pontifex now getting on top as
14862s	the bar guest is scramming the stork so
14865s	Hydra just very surgically picking apart
14867s	uh different targets of opportunity
14870s	holding things down and look at the
14872s	e-war that's being applied to Dark Side
14874s	truth on our light maxing out that
14876s	control bar
14877s	yeah and you mentioned General hungary's
14880s	aniros he is not under threat right now
14882s	a couple Dark Side ships have a direct
14884s	line to him but they're not going for it
14886s	this Gila will drop
14888s	followed perhaps by the Blackbird he's
14890s	taking a lot of fire blackbird's not
14892s	exactly known for their tank but the ECM
14894s	is going to be breaking up a lot of the
14896s	ability for Darkseid to be coordinated
14898s	with their fire and they are losing
14900s	their DPS core now
14902s	yeah and I mean again this is the power
14904s	of a flagship Bargas I think Hydra was
14906s	absolutely 100 right to bring that
14909s	you're in the lower bracket match you
14911s	know you need to win this in order to
14912s	get into the best out of eight
14915s	um for Hydra anything less than first
14917s	place they consider to be something of a
14919s	failure so this is where you go For
14921s	Broke bring your kind of your end game
14923s	Flagship uh setups and what they had is
14927s	very effective as we're seeing them just
14928s	completely shut down dark side
14931s	yeah at this point the entire Dark Side
14933s	team is tackled the Onyx ironically
14935s	except for the Gila that they're
14936s	currently shooting
14937s	uh that Gila is jammed he's painted he
14941s	is taking enough fire to break his tank
14942s	so that's a matter of time
14944s	uh meanwhile not not effective trading
14947s	going back from Darkseid they're trying
14949s	again for the carries of brainstra but
14951s	General Hungary zanerus has brainstra
14954s	covered he's been on top of that the
14956s	entire match right so I had a bit of a
14958s	scare getting into half uh structure but
14960s	he got pulled back pretty quickly and
14963s	now there's even less for the truth
14964s	honor light Logistics pilot to worry
14966s	about as Darkseid is losing their DPS
14969s	core they're losing it quite rapidly
14971s	although the Gill is actually to his
14973s	credit is beginning to stabilize and now
14975s	it seems like Darkseid has gotten the
14976s	memo and they are pivoting to try to
14978s	kill the nearest of General Hungary a
14980s	little bit too late but if Hungary is
14982s	poorly tanked I doubt it from truth on
14984s	her life but if he is that could be
14986s	their window back into some semblance of
14988s	a competitive match but they're going to
14990s	be paying for it here is the Drake Navy
14991s	issue of Sam Punisher is taking tons of
14994s	Fire I mean we look at the ships like
14996s	everything either has a jam on it a damp
14998s	or a scram I mean that's pretty
15001s	traditional
15002s	um Hydra for you uh General Hungary the
15004s	damage on top of him was a pair of
15007s	Valkyries that are no longer within
15009s	targeting range and we see a cloud of
15012s	armor maintenance spots trying to top
15014s	them off as Sam Punisher continues to
15016s	dip lower into armor now Holland will be
15019s	popping any second now
15021s	um I don't know if truth on the light
15022s	will kill all the ships with only two
15024s	minutes left on the clock but uh showing
15027s	a very effective control setup against
15028s	this dark side roster
15032s	uh truth on our life perhaps on reloads
15034s	is the Drake Navy issue is still hanging
15037s	around at about one-third structure
15038s	pulling back some Shields but that Drake
15041s	uh much thinner than I think most of us
15044s	would expect this Shield bar went away
15046s	quite quickly perhaps trading out some
15048s	of those mid slots for electronic
15050s	warfare or tackle he's now pulling back
15052s	Shields that'll be from the scalpel it
15055s	will not be enough as soon as the bar
15056s	guest is off reload that will uh I will
15060s	tell you I will do it for Sam Hunter if
15061s	he's gonna head back to the locker room
15063s	uh
15064s	but after that it's really truth honor
15067s	lights uh call as to where to go next
15069s	the logistic file is just kind of
15071s	showing off spreading reps throughout
15072s	the entire team signaling to the
15074s	audience that they are not concerned at
15076s	all about what Darkseid has left in the
15078s	tank here they have their team well
15081s	controlled both of their blackbirds are
15083s	still alive they still have a sentinel
15084s	for newts and tracking disruption it's a
15087s	guidance disruption
15089s	um they haven't even lost their Vex or
15091s	the carries and staff structure uh the
15094s	best case scenario for Darkseid not
15097s	quite enough to kill that carries
15099s	they're trying again to Pivot back to
15101s	him but it's just not doing it yeah I'm
15103s	not quite sure if that attack bar is a
15105s	glitch we just saw a stork recently go
15106s	down and Sam Punisher uh is continuing
15109s	to take damage now Sky killer Russian
15112s	um appears to be something of a primary
15114s	Sky killer being much closer to the rest
15116s	of the truth honor core and Sam Punisher
15118s	uh to his credit has burned to the
15121s	literal opposite side of the Arena away
15123s	from truth honor light so uh that Drake
15126s	Navy issue will survive unfortunately
15129s	um
15131s	darkseid's tournament run will not they
15133s	will be eliminated
15135s	um you know good fights in local this is
15137s	something of a kind of a
15139s	Demi uh Grudge Match you know with some
15142s	of the Vita core against Hydra the
15144s	tournament
15146s	um you know typical one two between that
15149s	uh but you know we'll send it back to
15150s	the desk to break that one down
15157s	[Music]
15177s	yes
15198s	[Music]
15215s	thank you
15222s	[Music]
15237s	forever
15240s	[Music]
15252s	well unfortunately for Darkseid the
15254s	future is bright for truth honor light
15257s	uh what are your thoughts mystical might
15259s	not even close
15261s	not even close never doubted never
15263s	doubted easy no easy game I told you
15266s	more skins
15267s	it's easy
15268s	straight to the finals talk to me about
15270s	that comp there so we saw um just wanted
15272s	like bringing a bunch of ECM ships there
15274s	with a couple of blackbirds and it
15276s	looked like uh they were able to do some
15279s	good work especially when we saw the
15280s	logistics frigates of Darkseid get split
15282s	up one Jam one knot and then done like
15285s	what's the thought process behind
15286s	bringing ECM chips I mean the the
15288s	thought process is that you don't really
15289s	need as much damage if you have a lot of
15291s	control
15292s	um so we saw here that the truth on a
15294s	light team wasn't necessarily one of the
15295s	most high damage comps that we've seen
15297s	in this tournament in fact most other
15298s	comps that we've seen would have more
15300s	raw damage coming out but it's about the
15302s	application of that damage it usually
15304s	it's a fight between how much damage
15306s	we're doing versus how much they're
15307s	repping which is typically what we've
15309s	seen so far but with blackbirds you
15312s	remove their ability to rep which means
15314s	that the small amount of damage that
15315s	you're doing is going to remain
15318s	the content on that Target so it's less
15321s	of a battle to break through reps and
15323s	it's more about man making sure that you
15325s	are effectively tackling down your
15328s	opponents making sure they can't get on
15329s	those black birds and then just taking
15331s	that team apart bit by bit kintan I feel
15333s	like in this case the ECM um can be a
15336s	much more devastating against Logistics
15337s	frigates because the logistics Cruisers
15339s	tend to have a very strong local tank
15341s	they tend to be more mobile able to get
15342s	around the grid quite well if they're
15344s	jammed then usually that means they
15345s	can't wrap someone on their team but you
15347s	know that isn't necessarily the end of
15348s	the world because you talk religious
15350s	ships however in a logistics frigate if
15352s	one of them is jammed the other one is
15354s	almost certain they're going to die
15354s	because they rely on each other
15356s	um for for tank
15358s	what's your thoughts here and bringing
15360s	Logistics frigates versus Logistics
15361s	Cruisers so Logistics forgets have the
15363s	advantage of being able to kind of uh
15366s	they allow you to bring more points what
15368s	we've typically seen is we've seen these
15369s	Logistics frigates be used in
15371s	compositions which require a heavy
15373s	investment in the top end either these
15375s	rushes or
15377s	um three Battleship controls it's
15378s	especially good in through Battleship
15380s	controls because you have a absolute ass
15382s	load of repair for drones to put on them
15385s	so that even if it's little buddy gets
15388s	uh you know jammed out or damped out or
15390s	it gets tackled a little too far away it
15392s	gives that that chip enough
15394s	survivability that it can survive for
15396s	its friend to either get a recycle or
15399s	get back on top of it but it's uh
15402s	another reason why they are so weak
15404s	against ECM is that they actually have a
15406s	much more much lower sensor strength
15408s	than the um the t2 Cruiser counterparts
15413s	and not only that but when you're
15414s	looking at these Shield ones they don't
15417s	have the spare mid slots to fit sensor
15419s	boosters so they're relying on remote
15420s	sensor boosters and when you've got you
15422s	know multiple black birds along with
15424s	carries and all other sites types of
15427s	just you know disgusting control being
15429s	applied to you it's very difficult to
15431s	utilize those effectively to stop them
15433s	from getting jammed awesome well there
15435s	you are disgusting control brought by
15437s	truth on a light and taking it to find
15439s	effect over Darkseid who are sadly
15441s	eliminated from the tournament as that
15443s	was indeed a elimination match now let's
15446s	look forward to our next elimination
15447s	match between templar's castlev and
15448s	Deepwater Hooligans and let's see if we
15450s	can check out the Bands
15452s	so templates calcif Banning out the Le
15455s	Shack the EOS and the jackdaw whereas
15457s	Deepwater Hooligans Banning out the
15458s	Nighthawk they're locating The
15459s	Vindicator relatively standard bands Mr
15461s	Clement I'd say so uh I think the
15463s	jackdaw is probably the one that we've
15464s	seen the least of out of these six ships
15466s	that are shown
15468s	um we have seen a jackdaw ban I believe
15469s	last weekend where they wanted to remove
15472s	armor Jack doors from the pool I think
15474s	they had a bad experience in their
15475s	previous match uh the team that banned
15477s	the director in that case uh and we've
15480s	discussed the perks of the armor Jack
15482s	door
15483s	um earlier on in this in this broadcast
15485s	so it is a strong ship it definitely
15487s	allows you to do a lot more than perhaps
15489s	you'd expect from an armor Jack door as
15492s	long as you can keep it alive so it
15494s	makes sense to see it bound here by
15495s	Templars they're a good team
15497s	one would expect they've made it to the
15499s	the second weekend they're playing for
15500s	Price ships
15502s	um they're going to know what the
15502s	strengths are of the armor jackdawg I
15505s	think they're also playing in this case
15506s	for pride and one of the things that
15508s	makes the line stream a little bit
15509s	unique compared to a lot of other
15510s	Esports is uh these alliances are based
15513s	on obviously the Tranquility alliances
15514s	the server we're all playing on and
15516s	these two groups are essentially at war
15518s	with each other right now uh templar's
15520s	calcif currently flying around with the
15521s	Wrecking Crew guys and being invaded by
15523s	Deepwater Hooligans so this is like a
15525s	pride and a grudge match it doesn't
15526s	really have any bearing on the war but
15528s	like as a morale point of view it's kind
15530s	of cool
15531s	um jintan what do you think about this I
15533s	think you're wrong when you say it
15534s	doesn't have any bearing on them all you
15536s	know in on the war
15538s	um Wars and Eve online are fought so
15539s	often about things like morale things
15541s	like Pride things about belief or
15542s	whether you can win and not only that
15544s	but they're playing for Price ships here
15546s	you know if Templars cows have get
15547s	knocked out or Deepwater Hooligans get
15549s	knocked out that's a couple of hundred
15550s	billion is that they're now missing in
15552s	their coffers and that's also gone to
15554s	their enemies you know if you don't
15556s	think that people both to the this uh
15558s	War are now going to be spamming each
15560s	other in local depending on who wins I
15561s	think you're you're wrong
15563s	do you know what I actually agree with
15564s	you I think that is in fact true uh
15566s	mystical mate let's talk predictions
15568s	though um who do you think is going to
15569s	build this one out is it going to be
15570s	temples or do you think Deepwater are
15571s	going to be able to pull one over here
15573s	uh see remember it's always templates
15575s	number one so I'm gonna go Templar sir
15577s	and jintan what are your thoughts
15580s	um I think templates template is
15582s	probably going to win this uh but they
15584s	just have too much pedigree I think for
15586s	uh deep water to take over yeah I'm just
15589s	gonna check who these guys got knocked
15591s	down to the lower brackets by so
15592s	templates uh lost to Odin's call earlier
15595s	on and again Odin's call we've discussed
15597s	a few times essentially the only matches
15599s	they've dropped in a line stream in the
15601s	last couple of years have been up
15602s	against reloaded a championship team so
15604s	very respectful uh to be dropped down by
15606s	them and uh Deepwater Hooligans uh got
15609s	dropped down by
15611s	boundary experts so another pretty solid
15614s	team
15615s	um and I find this one really hard to
15617s	decide but I think I have to put my
15618s	money on the uh The Tempest Cals of boys
15621s	is 10 plus calcif number one so let's go
15623s	to the arena and find out who wins
15631s	welcome back to the arena I am moderator
15633s	joined by
15635s	Alexander Hooligans is going to be
15638s	filming triple armor
15641s	Battleship and they're going to be
15644s	supported by a pair of logistics
15645s	frigates but they're going to be up
15647s	against a very scary templas comp
15650s	yeah temples cows have bring a balgar
15653s	and Fleet Tempest the bad and kind of a
15655s	repeat of their previous setup
15657s	um they've got omega's Pond effects your
15659s	links Thalia Deacon for logic arbitrator
15662s	Hyena's Sentinel for control
15667s	yeah unfortunately it looks like
15670s	um in the Stream the teams are reversed
15673s	on colors because that is in fact uh in
15676s	the red the bar guest belongs to
15678s	Deepwater Hooligans and uh Dano I so uh
15683s	we'll be having to call that reversed
15686s	um so the bar guest and we see that be a
15689s	flagship that uh basically about half of
15693s	the teams maybe a little bit over chose
15695s	as their Flagship why has it been so
15697s	popular in this and other ATS Alexander
15700s	well there are a lot of faction battle
15702s	fish battleships that scale well with
15704s	isk and when we say scale well with this
15706s	we mean that the unique abilities they
15708s	have are greatly enhanced the more money
15710s	you put into it and that makes a good
15712s	Flagship because the advantage of having
15714s	a flagship is that you can stuff it to
15716s	the gills with faction and in this case
15718s	the barcast benefits from the faction
15721s	damage mods so it can put its lows into
15724s	an armor tank and still have good damage
15726s	image it benefits from the range of its
15729s	scrams it also has a lot of utility
15730s	highs that you can invest a lot of money
15732s	in to make it hit harder farther and
15734s	tankier
15736s	yeah I mean it is in fact like the Daft
15738s	Punk song harder better faster stronger
15740s	because you know uh the bar guest is
15743s	already very fast I mean you can get
15746s	office or scrams because you're on that
15748s	Flagship uh restriction and we'll see
15752s	how that plays into things as a cycle of
15754s	Thomas wild duck is
15756s	um just sort of slow boating uh now in
15759s	defensive mode as he's being primaried
15761s	down into about half armor as this
15764s	abandoned Tempest Fleet in battleborn
15766s	are projecting onto him and he pops
15768s	already interesting yes a little asleep
15771s	at the wheel there he did not get off
15773s	the Jump and managed to get pinned down
15775s	by Temple's cow stuff but taking an
15777s	early First Blood here it's also going
15779s	to be interesting to see how the new
15780s	battle plays out between this Navy
15782s	Armageddon and the balgor and the Navy
15784s	getting getting a bit more range but
15786s	sacrificing some of its new power for
15788s	extra damage while as the balgorn has
15791s	much more powerful newts and also some
15793s	long-range webs to hold things down
15795s	speaking of they managed to get a brief
15797s	web on the prophecy of akov but that has
15800s	now shredded off and he has escaped
15803s	tackle he is taking some damage but it's
15805s	not catastrophic yet meanwhile deep
15807s	water is primering the hyena from
15809s	Temple's Castle
15811s	yeah um our production team has now
15813s	corrected the uh
15815s	sides that both teams are on uh the
15818s	prophecy has now kind of balled up with
15820s	his uh Bros uh Stalin says hyena
15823s	continues to be
15824s	um the primary that's going to be a
15826s	cloud of light drones however there is a
15829s	smart bomb from Ariana kamarsky's
15831s	Tempest Fleet issue that has cleared off
15833s	all the damage on top of that hyena so a
15836s	hyena brogue will be safe right now
15839s	um so far we're not really seeing deep
15840s	water do much of anything for the moment
15842s	trying to figure out uh what they want
15847s	to do against this balgorn that's up in
15849s	front as the Bargas is getting
15851s	uncomfortably close to that balgorn at
15853s	the moment
15855s	interesting by Temple's Castle to bring
15857s	the Tempest Fleet issue back and have it
15859s	focus on Smart bombing they're chasing
15862s	to sacrifice a lot of their projected
15863s	damage to do that playing the long game
15866s	on this match looking to get an
15867s	advantage in the later minutes here
15868s	speaking of advantages uh that's a cloud
15871s	of drones that are on top of the
15872s	Sentinel very well played by temples
15875s	calcif realizing that the Sentinel was a
15878s	little bit out of position still within
15880s	a rep range of his hell Niro buddy but
15882s	that's going to be a lot of drones on
15884s	top of him forcing a little bit of
15886s	stress from tomok's zero
15889s	and they have now decided to Target
15891s	paint the flagship bar guests they've
15893s	taken it past Shields but it is an armor
15894s	battle so he's doing just fine they're
15896s	throwing more and more of their focus on
15898s	the low end now as the Sentinel
15899s	continues to be pressure and the vexer
15902s	of Sid the Kid has been webbed not sure
15904s	if that is a hyena web or a balgrain web
15906s	but he is snagged
15908s	yeah that will be the balgorn of Kila
15910s	542 up in front
15912s	um putting webs onto that Vector The
15915s	Sentinel now coming back a little bit
15916s	safer but again Sid the Kid uh vexer is
15919s	not known for their uh tank we see it
15922s	being used often as kind of a
15924s	inexpensive uh drone bow and something
15927s	that can bring a lot of Utilities in the
15929s	high slot for new pressure as well the
15932s	Sid continues to drop but
15934s	um
15936s	not sure he'll hold on too much longer
15938s	as the Sabaton and balgorn are closing
15940s	range on him
15942s	well they're closing range quite fast
15944s	the balgren is a very scary ship it
15946s	controls a huge sphere of the
15948s	battlefield you really have to play
15950s	around it and they're doing what they
15952s	can to try to stay out of range of its
15954s	newts
15955s	that said their team isn't very
15956s	capacitor dependent so as long as the
15958s	ownero stays safe they're going to be
15960s	doing just fine now they have lots of
15962s	vexer the Sentinel is also struggling
15964s	here he's not pulling back his armor as
15966s	effectively as he was just previous that
15969s	said he just gets a big injection of
15971s	armor from the aniris and goes back to
15972s	full Sentinel uh trying to ride the line
15975s	there he doesn't have a great tank
15977s	speaking of not great tanks the vigil
15979s	Fleet issue of Pixie Thief is down yeah
15982s	so between the bar guest and the um
15984s	digital flea they were trying to go for
15986s	a snap call onto the Thalia the vigil
15988s	Fleet of Pixie Thief got deep into the
15990s	back line trying to get webs on the
15991s	Thalia but now that she is dead that
15994s	will no longer be an option that was
15996s	probably the only win condition uh for
15999s	deep water Hooligans and now their bar
16001s	guest is uh kind of in the back line
16004s	being scrammed down by that pontifex and
16007s	the prophecy getting low The Sentinel
16009s	getting even lower uh tempo's starting
16012s	to run away with it
16014s	yeah they're building up momentum here
16016s	this Sentinel is once again taking a lot
16018s	of fire they've split fire now between
16020s	the Sentinel and the prophecy probably
16022s	trying to optimize their damage here and
16024s	it's a great decision because it forces
16026s	the iners to make some calls and the
16028s	Sentinel it just has a very thin buffer
16031s	they can pivot to it if it's low and
16033s	potentially get through its structure
16035s	before the nears can react prophecy is
16037s	going to be more of a long-term grind
16039s	for them but not as able to mitigate
16041s	with speed and they are slowly working
16043s	their way through him so nearest is
16045s	gonna have to make some hard decisions
16046s	very soon
16047s	yeah I mean I I like what deep water
16050s	tried to do realizing that they were on
16052s	the back foot they needed to do
16054s	something to get a snap kill onto some
16056s	of the frig lodgy in order to come back
16057s	into this match but uh as they lose the
16061s	prophecy and now you know more of the
16063s	length that they would have more of the
16064s	damage they would have from the drones I
16067s	don't really see a good way back into
16068s	this match they really need to break the
16070s	Thalia Deacon uh combination to really
16073s	continue to push anything else but
16076s	um failing that they're just gonna
16077s	slowly get whittled down as the
16079s	Armageddon of crimson Serenity uh is
16081s	getting down into about half to one
16085s	third armor and the power effects on
16087s	Temple's calcif has tackled that
16089s	Flagship bark so that kill is there for
16091s	them whenever they want to do it they
16093s	can crowd out the sceneros and make sure
16095s	that the bar guest actually make sure
16097s	that the bow guard is positioned between
16099s	it and the bar cast that will force the
16101s	nearest to either let their Flagship die
16104s	or get killed himself and now the anerus
16107s	has been neuted and webbed they have
16109s	tackled tamaksa he is he will probably
16112s	be primary after the get and they may
16113s	just decide to hold him off with the
16116s	newts and get through the getting of
16118s	crimson as that tank is getting tested
16120s	very hard right now and it is failing
16122s	we're getting D's at best for the tank
16124s	of crimson Serenity he is dropping
16127s	rather fast for a faction Battleship now
16129s	bleeding into structure he's trying to
16131s	pull it back the owner is trying to cap
16132s	loose through the newts but it will not
16134s	be enough as the Magus and Armageddon
16137s	Navy issue go down nearly simultaneously
16139s	here Magus Bites the Dust first but
16142s	Serenity will follow
16143s	now if you're a Dano I um what you were
16147s	trying to do earlier is you know you
16148s	were trying for a snap call but in doing
16151s	so they really went all in they said hey
16153s	we probably know we're going to lose our
16155s	barges if this doesn't work but we're
16157s	gonna try to go for the win which I
16159s	think was the right call needed to do
16161s	that earlier unfortunately that play
16163s	didn't work out and with three minutes
16165s	left and a scrammed Bargas courtesy of
16168s	this pontifex of stoesh being completely
16170s	on the ball and on top of Dano templates
16173s	will kill The Spar guest with only two
16175s	minutes and 40 seconds remaining in the
16177s	match plenty of time as Dano's already
16180s	bleeding armor rapidly
16184s	oh that barcast will be interesting to
16187s	see how much isk Deepwater Hooligans is
16189s	about to lose here the previous
16191s	flagships that have been killed so far
16193s	today have been
16194s	breathtakingly expensive we will see
16197s	what the kill mail looks like I'm sure
16198s	the desk will have the full breakdown
16200s	but that is going to be painful no
16202s	matter how well you cut it for deep
16203s	water Hooligans they are a rather Rich
16205s	Alliance but they're that much poor
16207s	today as the flagship Park goes down and
16210s	now this storm bringer is looking a
16212s	little lonely
16213s	I mean they are going to be a little bit
16216s	poor for that Flagship but at the end of
16218s	the day
16219s	um they did still make top 12 in the
16221s	alliance tournament which is you know
16223s	very respectable they're going to get a
16225s	fair number of uh ships and that are
16228s	going to be probably in there we've got
16231s	a boundary attempt
16232s	yeah
16233s	will he break the record he's got a lot
16235s	of speed
16237s	yeah that's gonna be reglio Smith
16238s	unfortunately he's just a cruiser so he
16241s	will boundary but he is nowhere close to
16243s	the record of I believe 227. he gets to
16247s	191 as he jumps out of the arena and
16250s	Deepwater Hooligans is out of the
16252s	tournament as templas wins it cleanly
16255s	100 to nil
16260s	[Music]
16268s	thank you
16285s	[Music]
16294s	I better
16298s	[Music]
16324s	[Music]
16329s	foreign
16337s	Hooligans they're springing a leak as
16340s	they sink out of the alliance tournament
16341s	18 Templars cast of with the big fat dub
16344s	they're gonna be very happy with that
16345s	one and of course that means that they
16347s	and they win the war so congrats to them
16350s	um jintan you were talking during that
16352s	match about the Newt War talk to me a
16353s	little bit about that yeah so the new
16355s	war is something that we kind of tend to
16357s	talk a lot about when we see two ships
16359s	that have uh bonuses to Newts or even
16362s	ships that just have a lot of utility
16363s	High slots like little Shacks or Tempest
16365s	Fleet issues which have been very
16366s	popular throughout this tournament
16367s	matter and what we're talking about
16369s	there is the fact that both of these
16371s	ships can spend capacitor to remove
16372s	capacitor on their opponents whilst
16374s	pressuring the amount of charges that
16376s	they have in their cargo bay however
16378s	there is basically a cheat code
16380s	um to winning the new war which is bring
16381s	a bowel gone because the bowel gone can
16383s	utilize its bonuses
16385s	um which allow it to use noses even when
16388s	its opponents are out of cap or have a
16391s	lower capacitor than itself to continue
16393s	generating cap whilst removing cap from
16396s	all of their opponents so so if a
16398s	balcony is able to get the advantage any
16400s	point in a new war it can practically
16402s	shut down your ability to you to have
16404s	space mana and cast space spells with
16406s	your space modules
16408s	and mystical about you've uh you know uh
16411s	stranger to flying in a balcony in the
16413s	Lions tournament
16414s	um you've flown with a number of teams
16415s	over the years including with myself in
16417s	the Volta team where you flew our
16419s	Flagship balgorn this year we don't have
16421s	any Flagship Battlegrounds because they
16423s	are banned one of the few ships that are
16424s	banned from being flagships mystical why
16426s	is that ship banned from Big flag
16428s	I think it's because teams found it
16430s	historically pretty oppressive I think
16432s	is is the general idea
16434s	um it gets a bonus to its web range and
16438s	the neutralization amount of its
16440s	neutralizers so what you'd effectively
16441s	have is a full new balcon
16443s	so you can already imagine there's about
16445s	seven buttons in the highs and then
16447s	you'd have two webs a mic warp drive a
16450s	cat booster
16451s	um so that's already another like four
16452s	or five buttons here and then you'd have
16454s	full active tank in the lows so it is it
16457s	is about 20 different buttons that you
16459s	kind of have to manage and press manage
16460s	your heat on apply them properly to
16462s	chips around it's a lot to do it's
16464s	really intense to fly but it's even more
16467s	intense to play against because of just
16469s	the sheer area denial that it provides
16472s	you because a flagship is able to fit
16475s	um better newts and better newts
16478s	typically go a little bit further and
16479s	Newt more so um yeah it's just really
16481s	difficult to play against not fun for
16483s	many teams indeed not fun whatsoever
16485s	what else is not fun is being in an
16487s	elimination bracket match and being
16489s	kicked out of the tournament and that
16491s	might happen
16492s	um well it will happen to one of the two
16493s	teams coming right up which is going to
16495s	be platinum sensitivity versus arrival
16496s	so let's just take a quick look at the
16498s	bands for this match
16500s	so Platinum sensitivity Banning out uh
16502s	what has now become a relatively
16504s	standard set of bands here jackdaw EOS
16506s	analoki will arrival Banning out the
16509s	arthrus the caracal Navy issue and the
16511s	bar guest jintan what are your thoughts
16513s	know I'm a little curious about these
16515s	rival bands these seem like three bands
16517s	kind of focused in the same general
16519s	vicinity of one another uh the authoris
16522s	and the caracal Navy those are both
16523s	headed towards that ham Rush we've seen
16526s	quite a lot of as well as potentially
16527s	working in the kite and then the bar
16528s	guest is a little more kite focused but
16530s	we've seen it in in both stars of those
16532s	comps so it just seems like a rival
16533s	don't want to face a missile comp maybe
16535s	they're waiting their mids really
16537s	heavily towards tracking disruptors and
16538s	they just want to avoid the possibility
16539s	of an all missile comp
16541s	mystical night your thoughts here yeah I
16544s	agree I mean I think the character Navy
16545s	issue and the authoris
16547s	um they've reappeared time and time
16548s	again in some of the kardari rush comps
16550s	that we've been seeing
16552s	um the bar guest I think is also a
16553s	decent band because the Platinum
16556s	sensitivity team had had a flag
16560s	Vindicator so they won't be able to
16562s	bring bar guests in any fashion now that
16564s	it's been banned against them so that
16565s	really limits their choices if they did
16566s	want to go for a kiting setup of some
16568s	sort they still do have the plethora of
16571s	you know kiting battle Cruisers that
16573s	they could still run in an armor comp
16575s	which I think is probably what they're
16576s	leading towards anyway just because they
16578s	seem to be armor enjoyers not so much
16580s	the shield enjoyers that we've seen from
16581s	other teams
16582s	awesome now uh jintan when you are in a
16586s	team maybe you're the captain and um
16588s	first of all you've read all the rules
16589s	you've understood the meta and you're
16590s	ready to go what exactly uh do you do
16593s	when you're getting your team ready to
16595s	perform to the arena
16596s	um what you're generally doing when
16597s	you're waiting to warp into the arena to
16599s	just keeping everyone calm you're making
16600s	sure everyone knows their General role
16602s	you're making sure everyone's checked to
16604s	make sure their models are active you
16606s	know 10 15 times before you finally do
16608s	walk to the arena is sometimes that can
16611s	bug out a little bit and people have
16612s	subsystems go offline and all sorts of
16615s	wonderful occurrences like that and then
16618s	once you land on grid though that's when
16619s	things get really intense you've only
16621s	got one maybe two minutes whilst the
16623s	commentators are going over the
16624s	compositions to figure out what everyone
16627s	needs to do in this specific matchup and
16629s	that is what really
16632s	controls the actual game like if you
16634s	cannot assign your evil properly and
16636s	we're seeing that especially now when
16637s	you've got something like two black
16639s	birds you've got a carries a sentinel
16641s	you're talking about maybe 20 25 modules
16645s	that you then have to assign and spread
16647s	correctly around your enemies comp to
16649s	stop their game plan from taking effect
16651s	and that can take up so much mental
16653s	energy
16654s	and Mr Jin's taking us through some of
16656s	the stuff that's just happening before
16657s	the match once it starts uh how
16659s	important is things like Target calling
16661s	Target priority that kind of stuff I
16663s	mean generally your target calling and
16665s	Target priority is going to be part of
16667s	that pre-match plan where you land on
16669s	grid and then you have to figure out
16670s	okay what are we going up against what
16672s	are we doing and then it's really about
16673s	just adapting to things that happen
16675s	during the match so if you go up against
16677s	the kiting team and then suddenly they
16678s	have a bunch of tracking disrupters that
16680s	you weren't expecting you then need to
16681s	take that into account and adjust your
16683s	game plan accordingly so there's a lot
16685s	that goes on and it really is going to
16687s	benefit teams that communicate well if
16689s	it's you know if you if you have 10
16691s	people on your team that can all
16693s	communicate really clearly and explain
16694s	what's happening what they're doing ask
16696s	questions on whether they should do
16697s	something without being told to do so
16699s	you know instead of putting all the
16701s	burden on one person you share that
16702s	around the team and that really helps
16704s	some of these top tier teams progress
16706s	far into these tournaments yeah a lot of
16708s	times people ask like how do I get
16710s	involved with these kind of tournaments
16711s	and in general the alliance tournament
16713s	is great because you've got the feeder
16715s	rounds this year we had the Minotaur
16716s	public trials and that happens on
16719s	Thunderdome which is a completely
16720s	separate server from tranquility and uh
16722s	you don't lose anything so if you don't
16724s	make it through the feeders you get your
16725s	Plex back that you've submitted
16727s	um and you know you didn't lose the
16728s	ships on TQ it didn't cost you anything
16730s	uh those ships when you fly them on
16732s	Thunderdome you have maximum skill
16734s	points so you don't have to worry about
16735s	being oh I've only got you know five
16737s	million skill points I've only got 20
16738s	million scale points whatever everyone
16740s	is equal it's a really good way of
16742s	getting into uh tournaments and giving
16744s	it a go and who knows maybe you come
16745s	through maybe you win some cool prizes
16747s	uh so thank you very much to the the
16749s	guys in the community team like seems to
16751s	be zealous uh who's been an absolute
16752s	hero in that all set up running all the
16755s	uh the the trials and just managing on
16757s	the teams like without him doing things
16759s	like that and of course people like CP
16760s	Aurora who can carry that torch before
16762s	him
16763s	um then we wouldn't be where we are
16764s	right now with you know this this
16765s	incredible incredible tournament
16767s	um Mr you look like you had some
16769s	thoughts yeah I just wanted to add I
16770s	mean you're talking about the the
16772s	Thunderdome portion where everyone's
16773s	equal on skill points but you know you
16775s	could have five million skill points all
16777s	dedicated towards flying a frigate and
16779s	we've seen how important some of this
16781s	frigate tackle is in these matches you
16783s	don't have to be the person flying the
16785s	bar guest or the bowel gone you can be
16787s	the support Wing that's helping your
16788s	team actually secure the objectives by
16790s	tackling down the targets that they need
16791s	to get onto and really that is as
16793s	important as anything else so yeah
16795s	there's no reason not to get involved
16796s	you just have to find an alliance to
16798s	take part with yeah I mean some of my
16800s	earlier tournament memories was uh
16802s	flying a new tackle vexer imagine I'll
16804s	just go sit on someone and be incredibly
16806s	annoying and then wait not appear in any
16808s	kill males and just wait to be killed
16810s	myself now let's go some quick
16812s	predictions here for this upcoming match
16813s	it's going to be platinum sensitivity
16814s	versus arrival mystical mate who are you
16816s	thinking Platinum sensitivity and jintan
16819s	I think the Rival might have this
16821s	they've been looking really strong
16822s	they're not a team we had super high
16824s	expectations for but uh they have
16826s	demonstrated a really good level of
16828s	execution so far in this tournament well
16830s	they have indeed and I have super high
16832s	expectations for a rival so I'm going to
16833s	go for them let's go to the arena and
16835s	find out who will win
16836s	true
16842s	elective Garden moderator here for
16844s	platinum sensitivity versus a rival
16846s	Platinum sensitivity bringing a widow
16848s	Vindicator a baton with the stormbringer
16851s	for anti-drone support Mega spawn
16853s	effects for links value Deacon for Reps
16855s	crucifier skybreaker for more control
16858s	and anti-drone damage
16861s	yeah meanwhile a Rivals want to he's
16864s	going to want to get on top of things at
16865s	zero we see that those Osprey navies the
16868s	slept near and the claimer are all fit
16870s	with auto cannons and heavy assault
16873s	missiles respectively so it's going to
16875s	be an all-out brawl as the Widow is
16878s	going to try to do it's very level best
16881s	to jam things out and try to mitigate
16883s	incoming damage Mark bridge is having
16886s	lost his Flagship Vindicator in the
16888s	previous round has not been deterred and
16890s	will bring the tech 2 variant of that
16892s	supported by an abeddon and Bridget
16896s	support
16898s	still a fabulously scary ship even if
16901s	it's fit like a poor still very good and
16904s	against a team that intends to brawl a
16907s	very scary proposition that said a rival
16910s	has a fantastic amount of damage on
16911s	their team it's entirely possible they
16913s	could headshot this Widow in Vindicator
16915s	before taking too many losses themselves
16917s	that is definitely their win condition
16919s	for this match
16921s	yeah I can't help but wonder what jams
16924s	are going to be on that Widow if it's
16927s	um Amar and galente then Kentucky was
16930s	going to be a very very sad individual
16933s	however if they rolled correctly and
16935s	have called Aryan in the tar then that's
16938s	going to change the dynamic of this
16939s	match very heavily in Platinum
16941s	sensitivity's favor we see that Platinum
16943s	sensitivity has a control bar that is
16945s	nearly off of the screen
16949s	and here we go we see both teams
16951s	starting to kite away from each other at
16952s	the start of this match I guess the uh
16954s	Platinum sensitivity team not too
16956s	confident in their damage and a rival
16958s	not too confident in theirs we're seeing
16961s	a lot of control thrown out from
16962s	Platinum sensitivity they predicted
16964s	correctly and they have a lot of missile
16966s	guidance disruption going out onto the
16967s	arrival team with one dragging disrupter
16970s	for the sleffner uh that just kind of
16972s	worked out for them
16975s	yeah um given that this is a shield
16978s	composition that a rival has brought
16979s	they probably have a lot less overall
16983s	um
16984s	Lots to have e-war against Platinum
16987s	sensitivity likewise like you were
16989s	saying I can't help but feel like the
16991s	crucifier might have
16992s	um rolled in correctly with what's going
16996s	to be in their slots and maybe they just
16999s	have a series of tracking disrupture
17002s	they could put on the sleptner and maybe
17004s	not a lot of guidance
17005s	um at the moment we see that the side of
17009s	arrival has chosen to ball up on one of
17011s	the micro jump drive units and platinum
17015s	sensitivity is happy to just sit in the
17017s	very center of the Arena as both teams
17019s	decide to figure out what exactly it is
17022s	they want to do as both teams are just
17025s	kind of staring at each other right now
17028s	and platinum sensitivity the clustering
17031s	around the micro jump unit they seem to
17032s	have begun to have picked a direction
17034s	they're Loosely all pointing toward the
17038s	Platinum sensitivity team is now both
17040s	teams seem to be rushing toward each
17041s	other they're neglecting not to micro
17043s	jump it seems
17045s	oh wait nope corrected they've all
17048s	activated simultaneously
17050s	yeah that's gonna be fooled from all of
17053s	the arrival team they're going to try to
17054s	catch um something for platinum
17056s	sensitivity out of position and they are
17057s	now Landing in the back line let's see
17060s	what they go for they're on top of the
17061s	Vindicator the Widow and the pond
17063s	effects I could feel Widow call here
17065s	rather shortly that would make a lot of
17066s	sense to me and it will be the call
17068s	they're going to go for contarculus in
17070s	the Widow very well played by a rival
17072s	perfect timing and execution
17074s	and we talked about wind conditions
17076s	earlier that's arrivals they've got to
17078s	go for this Widow blow it out of the
17079s	water and then Focus their damage on The
17081s	Vindicator if they can take down both of
17083s	those battleships they have a pretty
17085s	good chance of winning this match
17086s	moderator what does platinum sensitivity
17088s	hoping for platinum sensitivity is
17091s	hoping that they can string out some of
17092s	these heavy assault missile boats it
17094s	turns out they do actually have a lot of
17095s	guidance comps they do actually have a
17097s	lot of jams and they're putting their
17099s	jams onto that Scimitar using it to try
17102s	to put damage into the Osprey Navy issue
17105s	they might lose their Widow for it but
17107s	they're saying if we're going to lose
17108s	our Widow you're going to bleed an
17109s	osprey Navy issue or more before we lose
17112s	anything major but that Widow is holding
17114s	just fine whereas larynx is not at all
17118s	yeah it seems I'm seeing some split fire
17120s	here from the arrival team they have
17122s	spread their damage out to some of the
17123s	logistics frigates from Platinum
17125s	sensitivity and the Widow which is not a
17128s	fantastic call as they're losing their
17130s	Osprey that's the first of their damage
17131s	Cruisers down they only have so many of
17134s	those and they need to use their uptime
17135s	very wisely and focus on head shotting
17138s	here they're not doing that they're
17140s	spreading damage on the Magus they're
17141s	spreading damage in lethalia they spread
17143s	damage to the Deacon they're wasting a
17145s	lot of their time they totally wasted
17146s	the uh whatever surprise Advantage may
17149s	have come from that micro jump play as
17151s	both of these teams have tackled each
17153s	other down and they're just somewhat of
17154s	a static Brawley mess in the middle of
17157s	the Arena now
17158s	um yeah
17162s	unfortunately for arrival they don't
17164s	have a choice because uh Platinum
17166s	sensitivity has done a very good job at
17168s	stringing apart those ships that jumped
17170s	uh they didn't all land together and
17172s	when they went from Kentucky they split
17174s	up a little bit
17175s	um on the way in and we can see that all
17179s	of the ships from arrival are really
17180s	guidance disrupted they're being webbed
17182s	down scrammed this is actually perfect
17185s	execution from Platinum sensitivity
17188s	um having their Sky breaker having their
17190s	pontifex Magus stormbringer hold things
17192s	down and spread them apart yeah a rival
17195s	has a ton of damage but they can't apply
17197s	that to any one Target because they're
17199s	all split apart from each other and the
17201s	guidance disruptors are wreaking havoc
17203s	as the two Navy Ospreys drop
17206s	yeah Platinum sensitivity not having any
17208s	trouble at all applying their damage is
17209s	another Navy Osprey goes down it looks
17212s	like they're going to go after the
17213s	stipple now of black tooth Tony about to
17215s	get those teeth punched out as he has
17217s	webbed down he's getting some reps but
17219s	it will not be enough and the Widow is
17222s	highly likely to land gems on the
17223s	Scimitar as it can focus all of its
17225s	jamming power on that one ship now a
17228s	rival is trying to return fire it looks
17230s	like on the sky breaker now uh they're
17233s	having a little bit of trouble getting
17234s	themselves into the same page here the
17236s	sky breaker not really a high priority
17238s	Target for them the Widow is taking sun
17241s	damage but not dying nearly as fast as
17243s	they need to they are rapidly running
17245s	out of time to win this match
17248s	yeah and I'm gonna be uh definitely uh
17251s	in Platinum sensitivities uh Camp here
17254s	um just the way that a rival is spread
17256s	out uh none of their targets are none of
17260s	their target calling is able to actually
17261s	apply damage uh they have on top of
17264s	Kentucky they have a total of a caracal
17267s	and a fly catcher may be a claymore that
17270s	can do anything uh meanwhile another
17272s	disciple dies and Mark Bridges team is
17277s	doing work here the Widow can tarp it
17279s	definitely has called RH jams
17281s	um we've seen those continue to stay on
17283s	top of the Navy Drake and the caracal so
17285s	definitely packing something called Ari
17287s	uh just really mitigating the amount of
17289s	incoming damage yes he is in half armor
17291s	but another caracal drops and even if he
17294s	dies it's very worth it for the 24
17297s	points of platinum sensitivity is killed
17299s	so far
17300s	and you can see with the Widow here the
17302s	amount of damage that it's taken once
17304s	they've all gotten onto the same page
17305s	you've got to imagine a replay of this
17308s	match where they do that right at the
17309s	start and use that all in micro jump
17312s	play to just headshot the Widow it would
17315s	be at a much more successful position
17316s	than they're at now as their schleffner
17318s	struggling to cling to life with his
17320s	ancillary Shield booster clawing those
17322s	Shield hit points back
17324s	but it's gonna be a losing battle that
17326s	has a very finite time to give him that
17328s	additional tank boost and once it runs
17330s	out they're gonna grind him down into
17332s	dust
17334s	yeah and I mean this is something that
17336s	we're seeing out of platinum sensitivity
17337s	that you have to demonstrate if you
17340s	really want to make it into the top a
17342s	and then top six and then top four you
17344s	know grinding your way through the lower
17345s	bracket you have to very effectively
17347s	apply your scrams apply your e-war
17350s	um just like jinton and Mr Cole might
17352s	we're talking about on the desk uh
17354s	Platinum sensitivity has a ton of e-war
17357s	has a ton of tackle and they have to
17358s	very effectively and quickly assign
17360s	who's going to do what when they're
17362s	going to do it and how they're going to
17363s	execute and platinum sensitivity is
17366s	executing right now with the very best
17367s	of them uh hats off to them
17369s	yeah a very clean well-run match from
17372s	Platinum sensitivity they knew what
17374s	their comp did they showed a lot of
17375s	restraint and not just charging forward
17377s	after arrival they saw the micro jump
17379s	play coming as the sleffner goes down
17382s	and they were fully prepared for it they
17384s	kept their composure and just not a very
17387s	acclaimed performance from a rival here
17389s	they are getting slowly picked apart
17391s	their fly catcher goes down their
17394s	Scimitar is well controlled at this
17396s	point he's putting out some occasional
17397s	reps but the sustained repping power he
17400s	can bring to the table is not enough to
17402s	keep up with a full Platinum sensitivity
17404s	team that is totally unfazed by what a
17407s	rival brought to the field here yeah we
17410s	don't even see any remote repair effects
17411s	so that's likely going to be uh you know
17414s	those 20 second Jam Cycles up wreaking
17416s	havoc on the Scimitar not being able to
17418s	rep up our time Hardy's Drake Navy issue
17421s	as the Drake Navy issue goes down into
17423s	armor and will drop shortly
17426s	um one of the difficulties with these
17427s	micro jump drive plays is that when
17430s	you're as far away as a rival is is you
17433s	can jump and you'll be right on top of
17435s	people but you still have to acquire a
17437s	look and that can take time and what
17440s	Platinum sensitivity did in that time is
17442s	Just Adjust all of their tackling nearly
17445s	perfectly so that as soon as
17449s	um the arrival team landed they had
17451s	their tackle Wing assigned to each of
17454s	the mean core ships and were able to
17455s	pull the Widow apart far enough that
17459s	only maybe one or two could actually
17460s	apply meaningful damage uh really I
17463s	can't overstate how brilliantly executed
17465s	that was uh as Bacardi desire is
17468s	dropping down into Shield looking like a
17471s	clean sweep as there's a minute left on
17473s	the clock
17474s	yeah this claimer is definitely gonna
17476s	die the Scimitar has pulled some range
17479s	there's not exactly a lot of tackle on
17482s	the Platinum sensitivity team but they
17484s	do have the sky breaker trying to chase
17485s	him down a little bit and the sky
17487s	breaker I don't know if he's giving up
17489s	and trying to come back it looks like he
17491s	is they might just leave the Scimitar B
17493s	for now
17494s	oh no it's because he's boundary
17496s	violated there he goes yeah he he
17498s	decides to uh you know just uh end it
17501s	that way
17502s	um it looks like the hyena of zags is
17504s	attempting to do the same let's see if
17507s	he can try to go for the world record uh
17510s	mjd Play Here Hein is known for being
17512s	very very fast
17514s	um so he might actually be able to do it
17517s	uh both teams good fighting and local as
17520s	uh Platinum sensitivity moves on from uh
17524s	their lower bracket and gets themselves
17526s	into top eight
17528s	now it's not just about the speed it's
17530s	also about the angle of the hyena is
17532s	coming he's not coming from toward the
17534s	center of the Arena if he doesn't change
17536s	his angle I think he's gonna have a hard
17538s	time hitting it but that said he's in
17540s	position
17543s	unfortunately he's out of time that said
17547s	let's look at him he is a 120 dick as
17551s	micro jumped I've spools
17554s	he is 241 wow 246 251 256.
17559s	this might be a record I'm not sure if
17561s	he's not exploding because we're after
17562s	time but uh I think that might be a new
17565s	record
17566s	it might be the boundary record but the
17568s	time is over he's gotten some extra
17569s	micro warp drive ticks in there I don't
17571s	know if that's going to count for the
17572s	Guinness World Records but we'll turn it
17574s	back to the desk to break this down
17579s	[Music]
17600s	guys stop being casual they're really
17602s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
17604s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
17607s	everybody warp off this is a really
17608s	really bad execution I'm very
17610s	disappointed
17614s	another great hall back from Omar damn
17617s	I'm thirsty
17622s	that hits the spot
17636s	uh yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
17639s	collectively uh so that's why that
17640s	Alliance logo is in the game of course
17643s	you could change your alliance by
17644s	leaving but that would be kind of a jerk
17646s	move that kind of oh you don't like it
17647s	now guys sucks I'm gonna go try and
17665s	arrival have now departed from the
17667s	alliance tournament in a exciting match
17669s	uh we saw a pretty cool mjd play from
17672s	the whole team they all lined up on that
17673s	mjd Beacon they all aligned down towards
17676s	their target after moving around joking
17678s	for possession being careful then they
17681s	jumped in right on top of that Widow but
17682s	CCB you join me in the desk what
17685s	happened why didn't it work as we as we
17686s	thought it was going to I think they
17687s	landed a little too scattered and as
17690s	they mentioned they had to lock the
17692s	target up when you land maybe not in
17693s	lock range as you're pumping that mjd
17695s	from from the beacon and then when you
17697s	land you're kind of out of position you
17699s	can't properly apply all that damage it
17700s	would have been super interesting to see
17702s	if they just sat on that Beacon for a
17704s	while and didn't do anything what if
17706s	they just waited until you know three
17708s	minutes in left of the match and just
17709s	headshotted one of the frigates that
17711s	would have been a very like boring match
17712s	to watch but I think the tactic maybe
17714s	could have worked out better yeah we're
17716s	seeing um teams favor more sort of
17719s	control heavy set tabs now as we're
17721s	getting deeper into the alliance
17722s	tournament uh comps that reward
17724s	execution patience and and you know Soul
17727s	solid piloting speaking of solid
17729s	piloting let's take a look at the player
17731s	profile of howling wind one of the key
17733s	members of the arrival team uh he was
17736s	flying in the logistics uh Cruiser I'm
17738s	told now we don't have that available
17739s	we'll have it in just a minute we'll
17741s	come back to that uh Blackberry pirate
17743s	what else could the arrival team have
17744s	done
17745s	I mean it's so hard to practice a
17747s	maneuver like that but in all honesty oh
17749s	sorry just kidding wind has arrived just
17752s	a few minutes late so howling went uh
17754s	flying currently obviously with arrival
17756s	previously with that he was in The
17758s	Weekend Warriors uh going back to
17759s	Alliance tournament 11 when he was in
17761s	Rainbow Dash friends as you can see he
17763s	normally flies the logistic ships for
17765s	these teams flying in the Scimitar a
17767s	bunch of times the newest the Basilisk
17769s	and the scalpel he has once been allowed
17771s	to fly in the bar gas but clearly took
17772s	that off him and put him back in the
17773s	logistics ship uh four wins nine losses
17776s	so they've struggled a little bit but I
17778s	mean you can see here just looking at
17779s	matches played every time they go
17780s	further and further and further they're
17782s	definitely a team that is improving
17784s	consistently as far as I remember even
17786s	like the alliance opened anger games and
17788s	some of the other competitions they've
17789s	competed in this is a team with the core
17791s	of people who are just getting better
17793s	and better and better and I would expect
17795s	to see them again next year doing very
17797s	well no Bart what else could they have
17798s	done ah well they could have won I got
17802s	totally distracted there um I do do
17803s	agree I actually think Misty said
17805s	something about about them earlier that
17806s	this team is they definitely look back
17808s	and learn from their mistakes for this
17810s	specific one honestly like the only real
17813s	mistake was maybe not practicing that
17815s	maneuver and like Landing everyone
17816s	together because they did end up spread
17818s	out and I think it was less that a rival
17820s	made mistakes and more that uh Platinum
17823s	sensitivity just capitalized so well
17825s	like as soon as all those ships landed
17827s	they noticed they were spread out they
17829s	split their uh webs and scrams and
17831s	whatever to tackle everything away from
17833s	the Widow because like clearly Platinum
17835s	sensitivity saw what was happening is
17837s	like they're going to try and kill our
17838s	Widow we need to not let that happen and
17841s	then they executed it perfectly so I
17843s	gotta give him props for it it did look
17845s	really good when it had it because like
17848s	the cord looked like it landed perfectly
17849s	and then they sent me to the side and I
17850s	was like oh what a move but then nothing
17853s	came out no damage it was just kind of
17855s	like where is it you know I think bars
17857s	right though that that was more down to
17858s	platinum sensitivity just defending it
17860s	super well than arrival doing anything
17862s	wrong but that's it arrival argon from
17864s	the tournament so no more about them all
17867s	right our next match is an exciting one
17868s	uh Brave Collective versus Nano fiber
17870s	tokens again these are elimination
17871s	matches so these teams are fighting to
17873s	avoid going home and for of course more
17875s	prize ships uh Brave Collective uh at
17878s	least Randolph AKA CTV Swift's a new
17880s	favorite team as pandemic Legion uh
17881s	sadly departed last weekend Blackboard
17884s	part uh what are you making this match
17886s	up I think this is uh it's been really
17888s	really interesting because Brave has
17890s	just been consistently better at the
17892s	alliance tournament than really they
17894s	should be I guess as a way to put it
17896s	where we've had like so many people go
17898s	in be fantastic captains go to different
17900s	teams sometimes team CCP uh but again
17903s	like you see in this this band setup
17905s	that they've done that they are paying
17908s	attention to what other teams are doing
17909s	and that is like one of those big
17911s	highlights of what makes a good team is
17913s	they're actually spending their time you
17915s	know going back researching
17916s	understanding and they even actually
17918s	went back and saw what nanofiber brought
17919s	last time and are targeting it which is
17921s	really good so in this moment where we
17923s	have an hour hour and a half between
17924s	matches they're still like on top of it
17927s	and ready to go
17928s	yeah on a ccpb we're seeing here that
17931s	the 95 tokens Banning Bargas Loki
17933s	balgorn and brave Collective Banning
17935s	curse hyena executive Navy issue the
17937s	executive Navy issue is not something we
17939s	see super often get banned uh do you
17941s	have any thoughts on that I mean it's
17943s	one of those ships that we reworked and
17944s	now has a ton of damage on top of a lot
17946s	of speed that he could just ignore being
17949s	played it because of that um what's it
17951s	called again that bonus that it has
17952s	where it doesn't lose plate Mass bonus
17954s	there you go so it's a it's a very
17957s	different chip than it was a month ago
17958s	uh so it's interesting to see how the
17960s	meta has developed into seeing a lot of
17963s	the ship and then also seeing it banned
17964s	I don't think a month ago people would
17966s	have bothered to ban the exact Navy from
17968s	anything I think we're going to be
17970s	seeing a really interesting match here
17971s	the match before with uh with NFTA
17973s	against Road Coppell was incredible
17976s	we have a lot of people uh who obviously
17979s	looking at Brave like you said I think
17980s	they're a lot stronger than what I guess
17982s	their reputation has
17984s	um this is going to be a super
17985s	interesting match it is exactly going to
17987s	be a super interesting match uh I know
17989s	CC Swift is uh is hoping for for a solid
17992s	Victory from the brave Collective right
17994s	now
17995s	um let's do quick predictions and see
17997s	what we actually think so Bart who's
17999s	gonna win this uh I'm going with brave
18001s	just because I've I've been watching
18002s	them and I've been loving watching them
18004s	get better and better at the 80 over the
18005s	last couple years and ccbb what do you
18008s	think I have to say nft I mean that
18010s	match with wrote before I thought
18012s	they're out and then they just kind of
18013s	clotted back I I've got a root for them
18015s	100 yeah I mean this is a hard one I
18019s	feel like I agree with both of you
18020s	especially like NXT really did call that
18022s	back from Rook Capell in a super
18024s	exciting match but I think I have to do
18026s	it for dunk as well uh he's he's such a
18029s	bro he always brings his briefcase of
18030s	friendship uh you know I'm a big dunk
18032s	fan so let us go to the arena and find
18035s	out as Brave Collective face off against
18036s	nanofiber tokens
18044s	hello I am moderator joined by Alex AF
18047s	card for the final match that the two of
18049s	us will be commentating and we're going
18051s	to get a good one we see double
18053s	Armageddon Navy issue uh EOS Dexter Navy
18056s	pontifex going for a bit of a mixture
18060s	between that
18062s	heavy rapid missile setup and a little
18067s	bit of drones
18069s	um what are brave running
18071s	Brand family double Nighthawk Claymore
18073s	sleffner it looks like they might be
18075s	going for Rush here scalpel Karen for
18077s	lodgy jacked off simple fly catcher a
18080s	lot of Destroyer damage on their low end
18083s	very interesting to see if these are
18084s	tackle control or just all-out damage
18087s	destroyers into that Moa
18090s	yeah I would not be surprised if this is
18093s	going to be very much a rush comp I can
18095s	see that these jackdaws are running uh
18098s	Rockets the heavy
18100s	um you know command ships are running
18102s	heavy assault missiles and auto cannons
18105s	as well so they're really going to want
18106s	to close range get on top of something
18108s	and just delete it I really like though
18111s	that they have a solid support core in
18114s	the Jackal flycatcher as well as a MOA
18116s	that can really pressure you know say
18119s	like the Valley of the deacon the
18121s	fentanyl while your main ships would go
18124s	after either one of these heavier ships
18126s	in an EOS or get a Navy
18128s	yeah if I'm brave Collective I'm looking
18131s	very hungrily at one of those getting
18133s	navies as the primary for my ham ships
18135s	while I send the rest of my low ends to
18137s	go right after the Thalia Deacon combo
18139s	break one of them and you'll break the
18141s	other in quick fashion and then it's
18143s	just a matter of a grind
18145s	meanwhile in that if I were tokens I
18147s	don't think they have that much of an
18148s	answer for the uh Kieran scalpel other
18150s	than to try and nude them out
18153s	yeah we see that a lot of these drone
18157s	boats are very often not running any
18160s	guns they just go well full newts just
18163s	because they choose to go for drone
18165s	damage amplifiers and therefore
18169s	um you know guns might not be the most
18171s	effective option usually neutralizing
18173s	things is a bit more we see that um one
18177s	of the players has been disconnected and
18180s	so they're going to attempt to log in
18182s	before the referee start this match so
18184s	we might have a little bit more time
18185s	here
18187s	um something that cannot be understated
18188s	though is the control bar of nanofiber
18191s	tokens being maxed out whereas Brave
18193s	doesn't look like they have any real
18196s	neuting power or disruption on their end
18199s	but what they do have is triple the
18201s	attack bar which is going to be the the
18203s	key counter play here if they can cut
18205s	through that control with their
18207s	overwhelming damage and they're going to
18208s	be in a good position here they do have
18210s	a bit of an uphill battle as those
18212s	get-ins are exceedingly tanky and we see
18215s	twitch chat investing in Nano coins as
18217s	we speak
18219s	yeah uh team do you support the wave and
18222s	brave or do we want some Nano coins uh
18225s	fortunately uh the disconnected player
18227s	has rejoined us so both teams will be
18230s	playing with their full 10 person roster
18232s	and we are off
18235s	we immediately see the brave team
18237s	streaking across the field as nanofiber
18240s	tokens is desperately trying to
18241s	rearrange their ball so that they have a
18243s	proper back line and make sure that
18245s	their get-ins are doing some screening
18248s	for their low end just desperately
18250s	trying to pull range here got the pawn
18251s	effects vexer Navy arbitrator uh as well
18254s	as the Thalia all trying to pull away
18258s	uh the Nighthawk is getting some
18260s	guidance disruption they're putting
18261s	newts in the Claymore tracking
18263s	disruption on the sleffner you can see
18264s	the nanofiber control bar spiking to
18266s	about half its full girth whereas the
18269s	five Collective has not yet really put
18271s	their damage down they're they're trying
18273s	to put some damage onto the Thalia of
18276s	nanofiber tokens but not nearly what
18278s	they could be doing
18280s	so the Claymore is going to be the
18281s	primary meanwhile we see that the
18283s	jackdaw of argonal has gotten on top of
18286s	the Sentinel of Asura chem so they're
18288s	going to pick off the Sentinel with the
18290s	Jackal disciple of aliphil is going to
18292s	support so I really like that call put
18294s	your low end chips kill off the Sentinel
18297s	that's going to be doing disruption onto
18300s	your main core you get a lot of utility
18301s	off of that and once you do that you
18304s	kill the Sentinel maybe you can move on
18306s	to the logic
18307s	speaking of waji Chadwick is going to
18310s	need a lot of reps and so will cast out
18312s	as both of them are taking an
18314s	appreciable amount of damage from this
18316s	Max damage uh Brave Collective Rush
18319s	however the flycatcher goes down of cat
18321s	zero
18322s	an acceptable loss for brave flycatcher
18326s	is a great ship it's putting out a lot
18327s	of damage for them but it's not the core
18328s	of their setup they're gonna trade that
18331s	fly catcher and possibly this MOA for
18333s	the geta Navy
18334s	uh they make it the Sentinel as well
18336s	which would be a fantastic trade for
18338s	them the more that Sentinel is on the
18339s	field the more value is adding to the
18342s	Nano team is the Moa does indeed go down
18344s	and the Sentinel will join him shortly
18346s	unless he can get a little bit more
18348s	lodgy it's tough oh Brave might lose
18350s	their Brave just lost their Keurig that
18353s	is a huge loss for brave oh you don't
18356s	want to see that they may do a logic
18358s	trade here
18360s	yeah that's the Thalia unfortunately the
18363s	Thalia is gotten
18365s	um a cloud of drones on top of them it's
18367s	a little bit less tanky than the Deacon
18368s	buddy uh the Deacon was a little bit out
18371s	of range trying to save the Sentinel and
18373s	uh they've readjusted to get on top of
18376s	um the Deacon nanofiber tokens
18379s	um their Armageddon is getting rather
18381s	rather low but if they can keep up the
18384s	Thalia losing a single get a Navy issue
18386s	if they can get another jacked off they
18388s	can get another stifle it might just be
18390s	worth it I think it is well well worth
18393s	it nanofiber the stock is rising
18396s	investments in Nano coins looking very
18398s	pressure in here as they are getting a
18401s	pretty firm grip on this match now uh
18404s	their Thalia not entirely out of the
18405s	woods yet and they still have a ton of
18407s	top end damage might be able to kill
18408s	this other get in Navy but without Logic
18411s	on their field they're going to slowly
18412s	lose more and more of their low end and
18414s	that Claymore is it's just not long for
18417s	this world the spiffle goes down that's
18419s	a big chunk of Their Own and damage it's
18421s	completely cleared off at this point
18422s	they've got four battle Cruisers four
18425s	command ships for their DPS and that is
18429s	it and they are loaded for bear they're
18431s	not really going to be able to impact
18432s	this low end they're trying to kill the
18434s	vexer Navy they're going to apply
18435s	relatively well to Cruisers but they're
18438s	they're not going to change the match by
18440s	killing this Vector Navy they need to
18442s	get more points and they need to be able
18443s	to hold themselves on the field which is
18445s	going to be very hard with the damage
18447s	coming off of nanofiber right now
18450s	yeah I mean it's good well in all good
18452s	that you're killing a vexer Navy issue
18454s	but you really need to be applying that
18456s	damage right now to a get a Navy issue
18458s	or failing that in EOS they need to just
18460s	ball death ball up together and really
18462s	get this Armageddon Navy out of uh this
18466s	existence because
18468s	um they're really trying to just trade
18469s	out damage right now Brave and nanofiber
18472s	they're equal on points but all of the
18474s	points are so heavily concentrated into
18477s	just this top end whereas nanofiber
18479s	tokens has most of their team I say as
18481s	the heretic does finally go down
18484s	yeah the The Narrative goes down but
18486s	it's a bit of a time waste for them it's
18488s	a red herring they get the kill but
18490s	they're losing valuable time meanwhile
18491s	disclaimer is in half armor and dropping
18493s	rapidly they're putting a respectable
18495s	amount of damage into this EOS but that
18497s	damage will slow pretty noticeably once
18500s	this claimer finally dies
18502s	yeah and it'll be difficult possibly to
18505s	kill an EOS they're known for having
18507s	excellent kinetic resist and
18510s	unfortunately uh Nighthawks really only
18512s	do meaningful kinetic damage so once the
18515s	Claymore and flepner die that have
18516s	selectable damage it's going to be
18518s	really really difficult to push through
18520s	anything
18522s	um and once they lose a claymore they're
18524s	really going to have to kill a deacon
18525s	failure
18526s	um to break anything I think the EOS is
18529s	safe at this point given how kinetic
18530s	locked these Nighthawks are they've been
18533s	splitting their damage between the EOS
18534s	and the Thalia not enough to break
18536s	either one of the Thalia is not really
18538s	at risk at this point they do not have
18539s	the tackle to really allow the hams from
18542s	these Nighthawks to apply to a Target
18544s	like the Thalia so it's fairly safe it's
18547s	going to take some damage but that
18548s	damage will get wrapped they needed to
18550s	just try to bust through the high end of
18552s	nanofiber tokens not able to do it here
18555s	not able to execute as Xander Valley
18557s	getting into low Shields here doing his
18560s	best the tank but dropping very rapidly
18562s	deadly and he has disrupted painted
18565s	nuded the other Nighthawk is also
18567s	knitted down and cable to sleffner is
18569s	tackled so all three of these ships are
18572s	exactly where nft wants them as soon as
18574s	they decide they want to take those
18575s	kills they are there
18577s	yeah for the last 30 seconds to a minute
18580s	or so uh Brave has desperately been
18582s	trying to put damage into the Deacon of
18584s	Andy and we've seen Nighthawk missiles
18586s	apply but they're just not doing any
18588s	damage to the Deacon uh you know very
18591s	signature tanks if you don't have a web
18593s	on top of top of a deacon and you are
18596s	guidance disrupted your Nighthawk is not
18598s	going to do meaningful damage to these
18600s	lodgy frigs that have such tiny
18602s	signature and still have links from that
18604s	Pont effects and EOS Laden is down into
18607s	about half armor and I can't help but
18610s	feel like this is the last hurray for
18612s	brave as their active bar is now somehow
18614s	larger than their Total Defense bar
18617s	that is that is the uh it's really shell
18620s	boosters coming off the sleffner I've
18621s	got to wonder maybe he has two of them
18623s	that bar seems extremely swollen
18627s	for a defense bar uh the the purple
18629s	swelling is is overtaking the rest of
18633s	their bar uh the Nighthawk goes down
18635s	cable UDA the last man standing here
18638s	three minutes to go in this match
18640s	not looking great for him he is scrammed
18643s	he's been track disrupted for quite some
18645s	time and now we're seeing the
18646s	neutralizers and Target painters from
18648s	Nano being applied to him here as he
18651s	will get ground into paste we'll see
18653s	what a fantastic tank he's packing but
18655s	with the newts on him with the inability
18658s	to return fire in any meaningful way
18660s	it's a matter of time here once his
18662s	charges drop he will drop
18665s	yeah I mean that said um I wouldn't be
18669s	too ashamed uh if I was do Jack uh like
18672s	you described we thought that this might
18674s	be kind of a mid-tier team maybe a price
18676s	ship enjoyer possibly but they're going
18678s	to go away from this event with two
18681s	excuse me four Gary's and four besties
18684s	so um a total of eight uh Alliance
18686s	tournament prize ships that's gonna be
18689s	well worth uh over a trillion isk
18692s	um if I'm brave I don't feel too bad
18694s	about my performance in this event
18697s	no they did Fabulous especially compared
18699s	to previous Alliance tournaments and
18701s	fitting that dunk dinkle the retiring
18703s	Brave executive should be here to see
18705s	his team's Swan songs cable UDA drops
18707s	below half Shields now we can see them
18710s	all in the chat giving their Brave
18712s	salutes to these Brave Pilots as cable
18714s	drops to one-third 25 soon to be zero
18719s	percent Shield the armor will absolutely
18721s	evaporate under the withering fire from
18723s	Nano here as they are shredding him
18726s	right now and walking on their way to a
18728s	fabulous and very interesting matchup
18731s	this really could have gone either way
18732s	at the start but cable Utah will bite
18735s	the dust as we throw it back to the desk
18737s	for a breakdown
18746s	[Music]
18762s	thank you
18766s	guys stop being casual they're really
18768s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
18771s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
18773s	everybody warp off this is a really
18774s	really bad execution I'm very
18776s	disappointed
18781s	another great hall back from Omar damn
18784s	I'm thirsty
18789s	that hits the spot
18802s	Yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
18805s	collectively so that's why that Alliance
18807s	logo is in the game of course you could
18809s	change your alliance by leaving but that
18811s	would be kind of a jerk move that kind
18813s	of oh you don't like it now it's Lego
18815s	sucks I'm gonna go join
18817s	foreign
18831s	fiber tokens there pulling the rug out
18833s	from underneath a brave Collective and
18835s	sending them out of Alliance tournament
18837s	18. black part pirate what happened
18839s	there to Brave
18841s	well unfortunately uh I think that brave
18844s	brought a rush setup without a lot of
18847s	DPS and I know that that seems kind of
18849s	counter-intuitive and that's how I felt
18851s	when I looked at their Rush setup we've
18852s	been seeing these like almost eight
18855s	ships worth of DPS Rush setups where
18857s	they're these like really heavy caldari
18858s	Navy Osprey Navy ordresses with hams
18860s	Brave actually kind of went like a
18862s	throwback from like I would almost say
18865s	the alliance open where they're running
18866s	almost pure Command Ship DPS which is
18868s	really high on paper but you still only
18871s	really had four major DPS ships they did
18873s	actually have a rocket jackdaw which I
18875s	talked about I love rocket Jack does
18876s	because they do Insane damage but they
18878s	also suck and um it was very unfortunate
18881s	to watch it do nothing
18883s	yeah CCP why is it rocket Jack does suck
18886s	in this case I mean in this case it was
18889s	not to be rude probably how it was being
18891s	flown it kind of overshot its Target a
18893s	little bit and maybe should have just
18895s	orbited 500 and probably would have done
18897s	more we saw just zooming around and uh
18900s	yeah we saw some of those smaller shapes
18902s	the Thalia and the Sentinel just kind of
18904s	get tickled and then nope just gonna not
18906s	die here never mind yeah yeah I think
18909s	that's Sentinel surviving in I don't
18910s	know how many Hull points but he had a a
18912s	small number of them remaining
18914s	um and then was able to be wrapped back
18916s	up by his lodge Bros uh and then it's
18919s	one of those things Bart when you're in
18920s	a in a match and you're shooting someone
18922s	and they're just not dying and then you
18924s	think you're about to kill them and then
18925s	they get wrapped again then you spend
18926s	more time shooting someone in the longer
18928s	you're shooting this person who has
18930s	decided not to Die the longer you uh
18932s	can't go off shooting someone else and
18934s	keep working your way through something
18935s	memo you're being shot uh like how are
18937s	you flown in some teams obviously uh NC
18939s	DOT being the the main one
18941s	um what is going through the captains of
18943s	the team's mind in those situations
18944s	where something's just not breaking yeah
18947s	uh well the worst part about it too is
18949s	that Eve has a mechanic called
18950s	overheating which you can only do a
18952s	certain amount and so sometimes if
18953s	you're sitting there and you're like
18954s	okay well we're barely barely barely
18956s	breaking the ship
18958s	are we beating it because their logic is
18960s	overheating and what if we have cat
18962s	pressure on their lodgy and what if we
18963s	have new pressure on their ship we're
18965s	trying to take down what if there's jams
18966s	and what if there's this and this and
18967s	this so I understand why a lot of the
18969s	times teams will like triple down on
18971s	this but then at the same thing your
18973s	weapons are overheating as well
18975s	um it's tough uh I think that when
18977s	you're in like these really high damage
18979s	Rush setups it is kind of worth it to
18981s	say we're not breaking switch
18982s	immediately just because that snap
18984s	effect of switching over especially
18986s	against an armor comp where they do have
18988s	to actually spool the Reps back up on
18990s	you uh has a chance but yeah I mean you
18992s	never know like you hate to say it but
18994s	you don't know what's going on on their
18995s	ship and their comms hopefully I mean I
18998s	guess you could but that doesn't really
19000s	happen anymore I think it's technically
19001s	illegal uh yeah no you're you're having
19004s	to calculate their capacitor their heat
19006s	their e or your capacitor your heat your
19009s	e-war what if their pilot decides
19011s	randomly to walk away we've seen it
19013s	happen a couple times where people are
19014s	like oh he's going zero Ms three minutes
19015s	into the match as a tackle ship
19018s	so yeah it's it's crazy I mean like
19021s	there's a reason these teams are so good
19022s	and especially as the weekend goes on or
19024s	we're starting to seem like
19026s	the really top tier teams doing really
19028s	top tier plays or not
19030s	well we shall see
19033s	um speaking of top tier teams um we are
19035s	going to go soon to truth on the light
19037s	versus 10 plus calcif now you will know
19038s	this is match 53 and nanofiber tokens
19041s	have to fight again in match 54. so they
19043s	have a short turn around time now they
19044s	have to go away recompose themselves
19046s	make sure they've got all the ships and
19047s	stuff they need and get ready but we'll
19049s	get to them later let's look at the
19050s	balance between truth honor light and
19052s	Templars calcium so I just want to like
19054s	Banning out the stratus Ishtar Nighthawk
19056s	Templars cast of banning out of the EOS
19058s	the Bargas and the Blackbird Blackboard
19060s	pirate what do you make of these bands
19061s	here
19062s	oh all right uh truth on our light is
19065s	Banning the stratus again again yeah
19067s	which is really weird
19069s	um because I don't think they're good
19070s	ships and I don't know if they think
19071s	they're good ships uh it actually looks
19073s	like it's almost the same bands that
19074s	they did against Darkseid but templas
19076s	khalsif is not dark side like I don't
19078s	think anyone has ever been like oh yes
19080s	Temple's calcif and dark side play very
19082s	very similar
19083s	um so I don't know what's going on here
19085s	maybe they're trolling a little bit or
19087s	maybe they're just like whatever full
19089s	send but the temples calciphans
19091s	especially with those blackbirds we've
19092s	seen truth honor light one with
19093s	blackbirds twice today
19095s	so that makes perfect sense like they're
19097s	like oh oh no iwor is here again
19100s	and tcpb um Bart mentions the
19103s	stratosphere like tell us about that
19104s	ship like you see it being used like for
19106s	solo stuff on uh Tranquility a lot but
19109s	not usually in tournaments
19111s	no it's a it's a drone chip which can
19113s	cloak uh which kind of makes it a strong
19114s	ish Hunter it's a weird chip because it
19117s	does not enough damage to really justify
19120s	what it does you know the right now it
19122s	costs way too much for what it actually
19123s	brings
19125s	um in the tournament scene like you said
19127s	it's not really the strongest there are
19128s	lots of other drone comp ships that
19130s	could work a lot better but I'm not sure
19131s	why they twice in a row ban the stratus
19134s	itself I don't know I might ask him
19136s	earlier well also back in the day the
19139s	stratios for like I think one tournament
19141s	was actually a really good ship to use
19142s	because it could fly a full set of heavy
19145s	drones now it can no longer fly a full
19147s	set of heavy drones so it used to be
19149s	this like okay this ship is worth
19150s	Banning to get rid of an armor drone
19152s	setup
19153s	now I don't think it is
19155s	okay so I'm gonna have to ask you guys
19156s	for some predictions now so Blackboard
19158s	pirate truth on a light or templates
19160s	calcifer
19161s	um I'm gonna go with Temple's Castle
19162s	because I've been wrong every single
19163s	time today
19164s	and uh ccpp obviously truth analytics
19168s	what I said before when I shot casting
19169s	the match like I was kind of beaming
19171s	right they were playing to feed so they
19173s	can get more skins so that you know in
19175s	the whole run you win more shapes more
19177s	skins and everything obviously they're
19179s	gonna win
19179s	interesting so uh this is basically kind
19182s	of a grudge match because uh in Alliance
19184s	tournament 15 uh Templars counts of not
19187s	Hydra reloaded into the losers bracket
19189s	in the first weekend of the tournament
19190s	back when it was a four weekend
19191s	tournament as well uh Hydro had to go
19194s	three losers bracket run to get all the
19196s	way back up to the final and then lose
19198s	um so as far as I understand they
19200s	haven't played again since so this would
19202s	be interesting to see if Tempest Castle
19204s	can pull it out once again so I'm going
19206s	to put my money behind tempus calcif
19207s	Let's cross the arena and find out
19211s	three two one
19214s	hey everybody welcome back to the arena
19216s	I am the Basilisk known by some as the
19218s	most skilled even line pilot to never
19220s	finish top 16 in the alliance tournament
19221s	I'm joined by Fair weiner a man who with
19223s	that last match with brave Collective
19225s	unfortunately losing did still secure
19226s	top 12 in the alliance tournament fear
19228s	how are you doing are you are you happy
19229s	it happened are you sad it's sorry sad
19231s	it's over or well sad it's over but I'm
19234s	looking forward to truth on her light
19236s	versus temples calcif uh seeing some
19238s	already slept nears already HFI is
19241s	coming in from the truth on our Light
19242s	Side uh bringing a kite set up meanwhile
19245s	what do we see from temples calcif
19248s	uh templates calcif seem to have brought
19250s	this fairly standard triple armor
19251s	Battleship call but I think we've seen
19252s	from them a couple of times before and
19253s	I'm curious to see how this is going to
19255s	go obviously truth on the light as you
19256s	said bring in a fairly fly killer setup
19257s	and that is not a fly killer a fly
19259s	filled comp that they're up against in
19261s	the Templars calcium side mainly those
19263s	three bulky battleships so I expect them
19265s	to just try and take out the small wing
19267s	on that ship see if they can Alpha
19268s	through the Sentinel behind the logic
19270s	frigates that sort of stuff and just try
19272s	and play it slow and Whittle down the
19274s	Templars comp over the course of the
19275s	match here
19276s	you know it's not a quad battle cruiser
19278s	comp lose last time around it was quad
19280s	brawl battle Cruisers this time it's
19281s	quad kite battle Cruisers with that
19283s	shield with those uh ever important 720
19286s	millimeter artillery cannons we are
19289s	waiting for the tournament tool to uh do
19293s	what it needs to do at the moment as uh
19296s	we are still waiting for that countdown
19299s	I you know this triple Battleship armor
19301s	control setup we've seen a lot this
19303s	tournament and I've noticed a bit of a
19305s	rock paper scissors going on where we
19306s	see these kind of Rush setups typically
19308s	do well into these triple battleships or
19311s	into like these kite setups and the or
19313s	sorry into these triple Battleship
19315s	setups and we see these triple
19316s	Battleship setups project well against
19318s	certain kite setups but other kite
19320s	setups have been doing very well against
19322s	these triple Battleship cores as we saw
19324s	in the uh earlier match between Brave
19326s	and lockrange enjoyers yeah and I think
19329s	this kite set up in particular from
19330s	truth on the light obviously a very very
19332s	high skill
19333s	um group of players here on this team
19334s	they're definitely capable of pulling
19335s	off are necessary to maintain the Ranger
19338s	and I'm going to keep an eye personally
19339s	on stalants in the hyena because I think
19341s	the ranged webs on that hyena are
19342s	basically the only real window that
19345s	templates have of actually controlling
19346s	the truth online actually getting hold
19347s	of something they're not going to get
19348s	caught by a bowel gone we've seen lesser
19350s	teams get caught by it but I just don't
19352s	think it's going to happen for templates
19353s	here with those ranged Belgium ones
19355s	unless it's some sort of heroic mjd play
19357s	but even then I mean truth on the light
19359s	are good enough to just look at the MGD
19360s	look at where he's going play with the
19362s	range play the positioning and just get
19363s	out of the way
19364s	and as you can see on the uh fancy UI
19367s	lots of damps being put out uh double
19370s	moles plus a carries I've got dual
19372s	jackdaws as well those are going to be
19373s	putting out uh damps in their mid slots
19376s	we saw them go for the Sentinel off the
19377s	start they weren't able to off it now
19379s	going for this Magus he is living
19381s	through these reps right now I believe
19383s	this is just dual logic figure up so
19384s	Deacon Thalia so wrecking shots should
19386s	be enough but they haven't killed
19388s	anything quite yet yeah as you said on
19390s	the fancy UI templates calcific are
19392s	definitely not lock range enjoys at the
19393s	moment their their support Wing can lock
19395s	basically nothing and I think that's a
19397s	really good allocation of the damps here
19399s	um these these battleships they've got a
19400s	pretty short range and they've got the
19402s	tracking disruptors on them so they
19403s	don't really need to worry too much
19404s	about being locked by them the main
19406s	concern is the webs from the hyena as I
19408s	said and if you damp down the hyena he
19409s	probably hasn't got a sensor booster 50
19411s	might not have like a signal amp in the
19412s	lows so it's going to be very very
19413s	difficult for him to actually get into
19415s	web range track interceptors going in
19417s	onto blue melon and onto Dexter Geo at
19420s	the moment although I will say grapple
19422s	and web has actually come on to blue
19424s	melon in the sleptner so he is now
19426s	taking some damage uh who actually has
19429s	them grappled it is the balgorn uh got
19431s	him with the long range web so true
19433s	thunder light just gonna leave him to
19434s	die and hopefully try to take out this
19436s	Magus which they do do they do but yeah
19438s	blue melon this is not good from him
19440s	obviously as I said at the start the
19441s	sleptness should really not be getting
19442s	caught by a bowel gone but Kayla 542 is
19444s	pushing in but the Oriana in the Tempest
19446s	split is actually moving away from him
19448s	so I mean there's a significant chunk of
19449s	their damage there in that Battleship
19450s	they need to kill the slap there
19452s	although you know I guess they can take
19453s	their time with it they know the truth
19455s	on light and this claycomb aren't going
19456s	to come around they're not going to turn
19457s	around and come back to save him as long
19458s	as they can keep this Belgian on top of
19460s	him which would you know the newts and
19461s	the and the webs they definitely can and
19463s	their balance closing in now as well
19464s	they probably are going to be able to
19465s	secure their slept near kill it's just
19467s	about what can truth on alike get in the
19469s	return
19470s	they're gonna try to go for this
19471s	arbitrator originally they went for the
19472s	Sentinel but once again holding under
19474s	those frigate webs the 720 is not
19476s	tracking him
19477s	at this range at the moment
19479s	especially with those tracking computers
19481s	from the arbitrator and Sentinel doing
19483s	what they can do blue melon finally in a
19485s	structure he will fall now things been
19486s	traded by truth on our light at the
19488s	moment and uh temples calcif off to an
19490s	early lead
19491s	yeah they are and of course as we've
19492s	seen other matches that have played out
19494s	slowly before this also puts the team
19496s	that's behind at this you know they have
19498s	they have the onuses on them to do
19500s	something they need to make something
19501s	happen and seeing that slept me get
19503s	caught is disastrous maybe they should
19505s	have put some of their damps on that bow
19507s	gun just in case just as a safety
19509s	measure
19510s	um because you know the Bal gun on the
19511s	hyena were the only ways they can really
19512s	get caught here and they've got so many
19513s	dams in this comp that the jackdaws as
19515s	we mentioned the carries the two
19516s	morrises there's just going to be
19517s	overwhelming air pressure but they do
19518s	manage to take down the central of
19520s	whaling six names there
19522s	and that is very important because the
19524s	Sentinel has better e-war than the
19526s	arbitrator uh in terms of the
19528s	effectiveness of those tracking
19529s	disruptors that have been uh running
19532s	through these h5s and 3D [ __ ] nearest
19533s	are now going to go on nostalia who is
19535s	down into very low armor they nearly
19537s	volleyed them through it one more set of
19539s	uh gun cycle and it will do uh what they
19542s	need to do and they take out the Thalia
19544s	so now true thought or light are
19545s	actually in a better position after
19546s	taking that e-board off the table and
19548s	one of the logic frags yeah treats on
19550s	the light have really shifted into gear
19551s	here by taking out that Sentinel because
19553s	in this kite comp they need to keep
19554s	moving around so they they got to keep
19556s	range so they need the optimal range on
19557s	their auxiliaries they need the tracking
19559s	because they're burning around their
19560s	opponents obviously burning around after
19561s	them as well they need both of those
19563s	critical stats for those artillery guns
19565s	which obviously have decent range have
19566s	pretty poor tracking taking that Central
19568s	Off the Grid sort of solves that issue a
19570s	little bit for them and lets them start
19570s	chipping away at the failure as we saw
19572s	they pop that pretty quickly now we're
19573s	looking at the Deacon of safoy
19575s	and if we take a look at the control uh
19578s	on the side of Truth on our light beside
19580s	them it's just Shield wraps those are
19582s	the only effects going in onto them none
19584s	of this e-war is hitting from Temple's
19586s	khalsif and they don't have anyone
19587s	tackle truth on a light taking out
19589s	another ship there I believe it was the
19590s	pawn effects and now they are in the
19593s	lead in terms of points of the match and
19594s	they should just be able to live to win
19596s	now
19597s	yeah I mean it was a good start from
19598s	Templars catching that [ __ ] now but
19600s	lightning doesn't really strike twice
19602s	and you know it's going to be tricky to
19603s	catch Dexter or either of the fleet
19605s	hurricanes in those battle Cruisers as
19607s	well especially
19608s	after you've lost for example the links
19610s	on the Magus Skirmish links obviously
19612s	very very critical for the web range on
19613s	the balgon on the hyena and yeah now
19615s	they're just going to continue chipping
19616s	through the support Wing I mean I think
19617s	they pop the pawn to fix they seem to
19619s	have stopped on the Deacon I think now
19620s	they're going back onto Oriana in the
19621s	Tempest but yeah they're just gonna
19624s	keep heading around come here for the
19626s	temple split urge you as a templess
19628s	fleet issue
19630s	anyways uh gotta go for this template
19633s	issue he doesn't have any logic frigates
19635s	actually I should say he has one Deacon
19637s	onto him which isn't a whole lot of
19638s	rapping power
19639s	um and these 720 artilleries they have
19641s	decent DPS uh All Things Considered
19644s	considering they are mostly an alpha uh
19646s	style gun so they're taking them down
19649s	they're burning through his armor reps
19651s	and they should be able to take him as
19653s	they've decided not to touch any of the
19655s	rest of temples calcif's comp
19657s	yeah and just to sort of have a a
19659s	slightly broader discussion here based
19661s	on these comps
19662s	um obviously when you you know you're up
19664s	against truth on a light you know
19665s	they're a very highly rated execution
19667s	team you know they can that every pilot
19669s	on this team is good at manual piloting
19670s	they know where they're going they know
19671s	their role what do you think about the
19673s	templates comp which is very sort of
19675s	sort of one note I suppose you know it
19677s	can either get on you with these three
19678s	battleships and pump through you or it
19679s	just gets kited around which is
19681s	basically what we're seeing here do you
19682s	think maybe like I think a little bit
19683s	more versatile might have been a better
19686s	play
19687s	this is the type of comp if you don't
19689s	you bring if you don't think you know
19691s	what the other team is bringing and
19693s	you're just like we'll hope they bring
19694s	some sort of triple Battleship or armor
19696s	control mirror match setup but that's
19698s	not really something you can do up
19699s	against teams like truth on our light
19701s	who have myriads of tournament
19704s	experience they won the last at they got
19707s	knocked down the lower bracket yes but
19708s	they still are a very scary team and
19711s	they can bring in whatever comp they
19713s	want and fly out very well so if you
19715s	think oh I'll take this and hope that we
19716s	got an armor control mirror match you're
19718s	basically just shooting in the dark and
19720s	hoping that maybe you can make something
19722s	happen uh later on in the tournament but
19724s	it doesn't matter what truth on our
19725s	light flies here really because I think
19727s	even if there were a mirror match they
19729s	probably executed better over Temple's
19731s	calcif yeah I mean trying to take this
19733s	sort of coin flip that your armor
19735s	control comp is either a theory crafted
19737s	better or B piloted better than truth on
19739s	a light is is a weighted coin I think in
19741s	my opinion
19742s	it's not great
19744s	no it's not and also you brought armor
19746s	control without high projection so you
19748s	don't actually deal with uh these types
19751s	of kite comps all that well even without
19752s	the amount of e-war that they brought
19754s	and you don't deal with uh you don't
19757s	deal with rush very well because as
19759s	we've seen time and time again these
19761s	armor control comps unless you have like
19763s	a flag Vindicator with very short-range
19765s	guns still have trouble dealing with
19767s	Shield rush because Shield Rush has
19769s	overwhelming amounts of damage that are
19770s	not able to rep past when you take two
19772s	Logie freaks
19774s	so just going back to this hydrocon will
19777s	truth on a light Justice League whatever
19778s	you want to call them
19780s	um throughout the tournament so far I
19781s	think we remarked on day one and two
19782s	that we didn't really see a huge amount
19784s	of damp Supremacy we saw you know a fair
19786s	amount of control more but obviously
19787s	more than we saw last year when scripted
19789s	damps weren't a thing but do you think
19791s	this now where truth on the lights sort
19793s	of reaching the late stage of the
19794s	tournament we're getting to top eight
19795s	top six sort of area do you think now
19796s	this is where truth on the light sort of
19797s	starts to reveal their true power level
19799s	and says look we've got this comp that's
19800s	got five just absolutely ram-packed with
19803s	damp ships you cannot play the game and
19805s	other teams gonna follow suit here
19807s	I think every team has dabbled with
19810s	damps and with tracking disruptors one
19812s	thing that we noticed is that the only
19814s	team that was really bringing it early
19815s	on in the tournament was paper numbers
19816s	they were bringing it in the shield kite
19818s	setup and then bringing some damps in
19820s	the mids making the ships less tanky but
19822s	able to kite around now we saw starting
19824s	with tuskers and now with truth on our
19826s	light a different take on that kind of
19829s	damp and our control setup from either
19831s	Shield kite or in tuscar's case armor
19834s	kite
19835s	um I called the armor kite one uh hammer
19838s	time because he can't touch this very
19840s	similar kind of idea from temples calcif
19843s	bringing so much control in a shield
19845s	setup so you're way faster than any of
19848s	these armor control setups can really
19849s	deal with yeah and I actually had a
19851s	chance to look at some of those kill
19852s	mouse from the tuskers match like the
19853s	Claymore
19854s	um and I think he had literally a prop
19855s	mod and then he had like two guidance
19857s	disruptors true tracking disruptors and
19858s	a damp or something so I imagine the
19860s	rest of the ships the armor Nighthawks
19861s	and all that the stalks Etc were just
19863s	again just absolutely rampacked and of
19864s	course that actually worked out in favor
19866s	for them against truth on a light in a
19868s	match that I thought at the start looked
19870s	sort of a little bit a little bit
19871s	questionable I thought was was that
19874s	tuscus comp the ramblings of a Madman
19876s	but actually it turned out to be the the
19878s	scriptures of a genius
19880s	and we're seeing what true thought on a
19883s	lot has brought with that too I do think
19884s	we're gonna see more damps show up as we
19886s	are later in the tournament now that
19888s	these teams are forced to play their
19889s	hand truth or light and lower bracket
19891s	now forced to play their hand against
19892s	teams that they deem to be threats uh
19894s	they will be up against either we form
19896s	Volta or lock range enjoyers in the next
19898s	match and those are teams that Volta
19902s	second place in the at last time and
19904s	then block range enjoyers they were uh
19907s	first place in the anger games earlier
19908s	this year
19910s	yeah I mean at the start of the day I
19912s	was saying you know 18 teams left 16
19914s	after the first two matches you can't
19916s	swing a cat in either bracket without
19917s	hitting a good team and now we're down
19918s	to just what is it eight teams I believe
19920s	or seven after this match sorry so I
19922s	mean every match is obviously very very
19924s	difficult there's a lot at stake here
19925s	we're really getting into the higher
19926s	tiers of this lights tournament but that
19928s	is I think going to be just about it
19930s	from the arena here with 10 seconds left
19932s	on the match it is gonna be truth I like
19933s	taking it 71 points to 19.
19942s	[Music]
19944s	uh we're gonna send it back to the desk
19946s	to break down that mattress and bring
19948s	you into nanofiber tokens versus
19949s	platinum sensitivity but don't go
19951s	anywhere we'll be right back after this
19956s	[Music]
19972s	thank you
19980s	sign was up
20001s	pump it up a little more get the party
20004s	going on the Dance Floor
20028s	foreign
20037s	Castle right out of the tournament with
20040s	that incredibly piloted fly killer setup
20042s	we saw at the start of that match uh it
20045s	looked like they took their shot and
20046s	they missed and then they went for
20047s	another ship and then they missed and we
20049s	were sitting here thinking oh hang on
20050s	our tempo's gonna pull this one off are
20052s	they doing it and then we saw a Magus
20055s	just get volleyed off the field and then
20057s	critically blue melon in one of the RT
20060s	slightly just got tackled and he went
20062s	down pretty quickly because these ships
20063s	were caging chips are designed to be you
20065s	know super tanky
20067s	um and it started to look like templates
20069s	were going to pull this one off and then
20070s	Bart it looked like we saw the truth on
20072s	the light guys do some what we usually
20074s	say transversal matching talk to me
20076s	about what happened there uh yeah so uh
20079s	Eve online tracking is complicated
20081s	um but not as complicated as missiles
20083s	and uh basically you want to have your
20085s	ships flying in the same direction
20087s	or flying directly away from each other
20089s	so that the shots will hit and Truth on
20091s	her light was able to pull that off uh
20093s	and start alfing through things which
20096s	sounds a lot less impressive Until you
20098s	realize you are in a 125 kilometer
20100s	sphere so you can't just do what you do
20102s	on TQ where you're like oh I'm just
20103s	going to go in a straight line
20104s	indefinitely and they'll chase me and
20105s	I'll blow their ships up you actually
20107s	have to continue turning continue
20108s	dodging they were dodging hyena webs
20111s	balgorn webs I believe the Tempest Fleet
20112s	issue MJ deed into them at least once
20114s	but the big thing that I think happened
20116s	is when that Magus went down uh the
20119s	links dropped and as soon as that
20120s	happened I don't know exactly what links
20123s	the mags had on them but I think that
20124s	was the difference of ships tanking and
20126s	ships not tanking and I think the mag
20128s	has had the Speed links on it as well so
20130s	everything slowed down a little bit just
20131s	enough truth on the lights able to land
20133s	their shots very very well played on
20135s	their part except for the sleptner that
20136s	got tackled yeah unfortunately he was
20139s	tackled and he did go down cpb
20142s	um when you're flying things like RT
20143s	ships like how hard is it to actually
20145s	like make use of them
20146s	it's something that you definitely need
20148s	to practice
20149s	um I think when you're starting out
20151s	learning how to kite I think it's easy
20153s	to do that in missile ships to begin
20154s	with and then slowly graduate towards
20157s	other things like turrets
20159s	um I think practicing with rail guns is
20161s	probably better before you start
20162s	practicing with with RDS because of how
20165s	rarely you get to shoot the hardest
20167s	basically you fire and you have to wait
20169s	like 10 15 seconds depending on what
20170s	what platform you're using uh whereas
20172s	with with railguns you get to fire more
20174s	often and realize oh I'm hitting now oh
20176s	I'm not hitting it now and you get to
20177s	understand how to fly how to to actually
20180s	apply your damage yeah we also saw a
20183s	Liberal Liberal use of the damping ships
20186s	in that last match from truth on a light
20188s	a bunch of them five in fact uh Bart
20191s	take us through the damping mechanics
20193s	so with sensor damps you have two
20195s	different scripts that you can use one
20196s	of them which either will make you lock
20198s	much much slower and the other which was
20201s	much more relevant in this match was one
20203s	that reduces your lock range uh we saw
20205s	that most of it I don't think that
20207s	anyone was using the sensor uh the lock
20211s	speed amps it's possible but the lock
20213s	range stamps are incredibly powerful
20214s	especially when you have bonus ships
20216s	like molluses and Carries and they were
20219s	probably some on the jackdaws as well
20220s	but that was what it was able to allow
20222s	truth honor light to prevent themselves
20224s	from really taking any more damage uh
20226s	the hyena was definitely like damped out
20228s	the entire fight probably had a lock
20229s	range of like five which is not
20231s	enjoyable in any way shape or form and
20234s	just by doing that it made the kiting so
20236s	much easier like a hyena is so good at
20237s	grabbing ships but not when it can't
20239s	lock anything
20240s	yeah so our next match we're going to
20242s	talk about now is platinum sensitivity
20243s	versus nanofiber tokens so interestingly
20246s	enough
20247s	um when you fly in a match uh the actual
20249s	match sort of simulation starts quite
20251s	far before the match itself as your
20253s	contact with the referees you have to do
20254s	bands it's a which is what we're looking
20256s	at here it's a blind band system whereas
20258s	Platinum sensitivity we just submitted
20259s	there three bands Nano fireworks tokens
20261s	there are three bands and then if
20262s	there's any duplicates they have the
20263s	trickle bands Platinum since sorry
20265s	nanofiber tokens played only about half
20266s	an hour ago so they would have finished
20268s	that match and they would have had a
20270s	conversation with the GMS pretty much
20271s	immediately uh so no time to unpack
20273s	stuff they have to go through and say
20275s	hey watch your bands in this case they
20276s	went for Bargas Loki balgorm and
20278s	platinum sensitivity going for yield
20281s	Classics at this point uh EOS projector
20283s	and the hyena Bart what do you think uh
20285s	I think that you know
20287s	what you said about them having so
20289s	little time probably starts really
20291s	playing into this uh nanofiber tokens
20293s	that like that's like kind of the
20294s	standard basic like uh these ships are
20297s	strong don't get rid of them bands um
20299s	but yeah Platinum sensitivity is
20300s	definitely like realized how good this
20302s	jackdaw ship is and we've been seeing it
20304s	uh Banning out an EOS pretty much bans
20306s	drones out you could still try it but I
20308s	wouldn't suggest it and uh hyenas are
20310s	just very strong ships but uh yeah it's
20313s	a it's pretty rough for nanofiber tokens
20314s	30 minutes is not a lot of time unless
20316s	you're ending up in a best of three and
20317s	then at which case you've already won so
20318s	much that you're probably okay with it
20320s	yeah CCB you've been uh practicing and
20322s	playing uh with the truth on the light
20324s	team you were telling us about
20326s	um what's it like having to turn around
20327s	matches pretty quickly
20329s	I think practice is way different than
20331s	this you know on the day actually
20332s	competing in practice it's very relaxed
20334s	you're you know you're just following a
20335s	schedule you have X many things you want
20337s	to test out that night and you're just
20339s	running through it and a lot of time you
20340s	know I'd be waiting on the other team to
20342s	show up to even practice with you but
20343s	with this this is like this is game time
20346s	you know it matters a lot what you're
20348s	going to be banning this is not like
20350s	this is what they've been practicing
20351s	from months and months for but I think
20353s	that nft have just been warming up today
20355s	and I think they're ready for this much
20356s	interesting let's take a look at some of
20359s	the um Alliance uh details for some of
20361s	these teams let's see if we can pull up
20362s	uh where everyone comes first
20365s	plan of sensitivity so 15 Pilots have
20367s	flown for platinum sensitivity in the
20369s	alliance tournament uh some veterans are
20372s	clearly playing in over 20 different
20373s	matches
20375s	um and they've been relatively
20376s	successful winning a chunk more than
20378s	they've lost which is pretty good the
20380s	matches that they have lost against
20381s	recently have been against we form Volta
20383s	the tuskers call and then we Farm Volta
20385s	again so you know that's two very strong
20387s	teams
20388s	um they've won against a rival bright
20390s	side of death a band apart laser Hawks
20392s	the network and exodus so very strong
20395s	victories as well so this is a good team
20397s	uh certainly not to be underestimated
20398s	let's take a look at nanofiber tokens
20402s	so 95 tokens a bit smaller roster only
20405s	12 Pilots have uh have flown with them
20407s	so far um again a couple of veterans
20409s	here nine runs from Andy astronaut and
20412s	they've had a good record as well I only
20414s	played five matches but they have won
20415s	four of them dropping only once to
20417s	Odin's call who are currently still in
20419s	the winners bracket and being very very
20420s	strong so we expect a lot of things from
20422s	them and nanofiber tokens beat Esports
20424s	Petopia pandemic Legion wrote Capel and
20426s	brave Collective so Esports is a good
20429s	team PL is a team rockapel is a good
20431s	team and brave Collective is a solid
20432s	team
20434s	okay I'm told the teams are now on grid
20436s	so let's go to the arena for this match
20439s	between Platinum sensitivity and Nano
20440s	fiber tokens
20447s	some point
20453s	hey everybody welcome back to the arena
20455s	um I'm again joined by fear Viner
20457s	um nanofiber tokens I'll start with them
20459s	because I think this is a comp we've
20460s	seen from them multiple times in the day
20461s	and I think actually me and fear were
20463s	pretty critical of it during that brave
20465s	match that we were watching we really
20466s	didn't like this concept of having two
20467s	rapid heavy battleships but obviously
20469s	they won the match it worked out for
20470s	them and here they are bringing
20471s	basically exactly the same thing again
20473s	against this Platinum sensitivity which
20475s	also looks a little bit familiar if you
20476s	want to tell us a little bit about that
20477s	now they brought the window vindi abedin
20480s	once again worked against Shield Rush
20482s	last time around this time uh instead of
20485s	being all blue and uh red gems it is
20489s	yellow and green that got a far figure
20491s	out
20492s	who you are jamming and why this is dual
20495s	logic freaks I don't have a whole lot of
20496s	scammers I expect this winner to be able
20498s	to basically make them useless this
20500s	entire game and we are about ready to
20503s	start the countdown I'm excited what
20504s	about you oh I'm very excited but I also
20507s	think the key aspect of this match is
20508s	going to be the widows jams as we were
20509s	saying it's the logic frigates but not
20511s	only that if he can at some point you
20513s	know say the name Navy Armageddon say
20514s	okay we're gonna shoot
20516s	you know the pontifex let's try and clip
20517s	that pontifex maybe they get five Cycles
20519s	into their clip and the Widow says okay
20520s	I'm gonna cycle a jam on the get and he
20522s	jams that getting that getting stops
20523s	shooting for 20 seconds and now for the
20525s	rest of the match unless those gettings
20526s	commit a significant time investment to
20528s	getting their Clips back to sync they
20530s	will be out of sync and they they will
20532s	be reloading at different times they'll
20533s	be firing at different times and that is
20535s	one of the critical weaknesses of Rapid
20536s	heavy comps is they rely on these ships
20538s	firing at the same time to out for a
20540s	primary target
20542s	yeah and this time they brought a
20543s	damnation instead of an EOS uh last time
20546s	we saw them bring anything else this
20547s	time they brought a damnation just uh
20550s	thinking that they want the Skirmish
20551s	links this time around they do have
20553s	quite a bit of range on those nudes
20555s	might be able to keep this Vindicator
20556s	which is not a flag bendy so 10
20558s	kilometer webs instead of uh
20560s	however long purple webs are like 30. so
20565s	very long uh 10 o'clock never loves the
20568s	four lengths it's got a mega so it's
20569s	really like 13 but uh either way pot
20572s	shots being taken out this arbitrator
20574s	Thalia and Sentinel right now uh buy
20577s	this window and and uh avidan The
20579s	Vindicator really not in range yet to
20582s	really do anything but as we take a look
20584s	jams going all over the nanofiber tokens
20587s	team yeah and platinum sensitivity
20589s	you're trying to push in here as well
20590s	with this Fendi of course they want to
20591s	try and utilize the strength of this
20593s	Fendi and of obviously the strength of
20594s	the abandon as well short range
20595s	battleships to try and get into range
20597s	and start shooting something
20598s	um just going back to what you were
20599s	saying about the damnation pick I
20600s	believe they they as you say they did
20602s	field on EOS last time but the EOS is
20603s	banned um but I'm not sure how how
20605s	weaker how much weaker it's going to be
20607s	losing those Skirmish links they may
20608s	have wanted the speed links or Sig links
20610s	to help the Thalia and decent tank and
20612s	indeed The Sentinel and stripper as well
20613s	they're small and benefits greatly from
20614s	the extra tank from that speed but
20616s	damnation obviously not getting those
20617s	same bonuses
20619s	yeah the the info Lakes are nice to have
20621s	at the very least when you have kind of
20623s	power production comps such as army gun
20625s	Navy such as uh in this tournament where
20628s	you scripted your War exists and it's so
20631s	powerful but we see uh the scripted D
20632s	war of choice renowned fiber tokens
20634s	missile disruption
20636s	and one damp it looks like
20639s	well Platinum sensitivity brought a lot
20640s	of missile disruption
20642s	and these armaged navies and this
20643s	damnation really aren't doing a whole
20645s	lot we see split damage uh mostly from
20647s	drones across the entire team on the
20650s	nanofiber tokens but no one has really
20653s	died yet this matter I think from this
20654s	point nanofiber tokens are going to
20656s	start shooting this Vindicator of Mount
20657s	Bridges because he's burned right into
20658s	the middle of them here and I think he's
20659s	got a web on that first night Navy
20661s	getting of Chadwick I saw him burning
20662s	towards 10 RS of excellent ab10
20664s	obviously keeping his eyes open burning
20665s	away from that wind he doesn't want to
20666s	get tackled down he's in big trouble if
20668s	he does but I think that sort of took
20669s	Mark bridges in this Vindicator pretty
20671s	close to these get-ins close to this
20673s	damnation and he's got one tackle but
20674s	I'm not 100 sure this is actually what
20676s	he wants to do here he may have sort of
20677s	tackled him just as a matter of
20678s	opportunism rather than because it's
20680s	actually his plan here because now both
20681s	these Navy guidance I can see a cycling
20683s	their news on a significant new power
20685s	from these gettings the vindies are very
20686s	cap Reliant boat with those guns and
20687s	obviously he needs his prop as well to
20689s	stay in range and now he is kind of
20690s	eating [ __ ]
20692s	kind of is the opportune word there
20695s	though because remember he does have a
20696s	widow and just like that Mark Bridges is
20698s	taking no more damage so it looks like
20700s	uh the Widow landed the golden gems on
20703s	the Armageddon navies and stopped them
20705s	from killing his Vindicator bro in Mark
20708s	Bridges who still has a web still has
20709s	tackle and remember uh when you jam off
20712s	somebody they can't Newton you either so
20714s	now his guns are working uh there is
20716s	some damage going on on the Sawyer right
20717s	now but once again looks mostly like pot
20720s	shots uh con peso has to be close to his
20722s	Armageddon Navy's uh so he is relatively
20725s	close to this Vindicator but he doesn't
20726s	have a web on top of him yet and just as
20729s	I say that there's the lab there's a
20730s	scram and uh I mean it's a ton of
20732s	Menthol yeah I don't know how good the
20733s	scram's gonna be but he will go down and
20736s	maybe be traded for fgi too yeah the
20738s	dragons are switching over to the Thalia
20739s	here I can see a swarm of blue drones
20741s	just pewing away at that failure and The
20743s	Vindicator of mock Bridges is actually
20744s	still slowly bleeding through armor he's
20746s	just about to hit 50 here
20748s	um and I feel like this is not where the
20750s	windy wants to be I said a bunch of
20751s	times and concert we saw of indicators
20753s	last week the key to have indicated comp
20755s	is you need to have a setup that
20757s	facilitates the vindi doing what it
20758s	wants to do and the targets on this grid
20760s	looking at them the damnation is
20762s	probably the thing The Vindicator would
20763s	like to shoot the least it's very very
20765s	tanky but if that damnation just sits on
20767s	him and holds him down
20768s	um you know he he he can't shoot
20770s	anything else because the rest of his
20772s	team the getons the vexo Navy all that
20774s	sort of stuff can just stay away from
20775s	The Vindicator and the Vinnie has no
20777s	choice but it does actually seem to be
20778s	here that The Vindicator is chasing
20780s	after the damnation the damnation seems
20782s	to be running away from the Bindi
20783s	whereas I would have thought the
20783s	damnation would actually be trying to
20784s	hold the vindi in place and say you know
20786s	shoot me leave everyone else alone
20789s	well I mean they are shooting the
20790s	damnation right now and he is down in
20792s	half armor he got dual Logic for X but
20793s	he also got a widow uh and Screen gems
20796s	between the vexer Navy and Nathalia I
20798s	guess which one is going to be uh jammed
20802s	out by the Widow it's probably the
20804s	Thalia so the damnation going down now
20806s	into 25 armor remaining and Mark Bridges
20809s	he stabilized in his armor thanks to
20812s	this Widow jamming out the damage from
20814s	the side plot or some side of uh
20816s	nanofiber tokens and now damnation
20818s	finally in a structure this will be the
20820s	first kill of the match it will I think
20822s	yeah this damnation is going to go down
20823s	and this is I just want to bring Focus
20825s	here to the fact that both these teams
20826s	have bought lodgy frigates this match
20828s	once you get into the later stage of the
20829s	tournament as well this is a very very
20831s	difficult environment to fly lodgy
20833s	frigates in on the side of Nano fiber
20835s	tokens you've got Kano Paso and Andy
20837s	astronaut trying to keep people up but
20839s	they can't go into the range of that
20840s	vindi web or they will just get blasted
20842s	and on the other side You've Got fgi 2
20843s	and nightcap again trying their best to
20845s	keep the Vindicator up but they don't
20846s	want to go in range of the Navy
20847s	Armageddon nudes and just get instantly
20848s	cut out so very very difficult juggling
20851s	act for both for all these lodgy
20852s	frigates here trying to do their best to
20854s	keep people up without sort of hinting
20856s	but that damnation of obix does go down
20857s	and they haven't really got much in
20858s	return of India still sort of bleeding
20859s	again he's down to 40 armor
20862s	yeah but importantly this Widow is now
20864s	tackled uh Kent larkis has been webbed
20867s	down by these Navy Gardens and scrammed
20869s	uh as well so he is not going anywhere
20872s	these Navy Gardens right on top of them
20873s	alongside the vexer Navy but Mark
20875s	Bridges is coming in wants to save his
20877s	widow uh friend at the moment not a lot
20879s	of damage has been put onto Kent as he
20881s	starts putting some damage I think on a
20883s	Chadwick uh in the start we got a Navy
20885s	or maybe the specs are navy of uh 10
20887s	arrests and in fact that is his primary
20889s	target yeah they have got this bit of
20891s	tackle down but they don't seem to be
20892s	shooting I think they've said well with
20893s	you know 70 of the way through this
20894s	Vindicator we got to keep killing that
20896s	or else these frigates might come in
20897s	wrap them back up again they all going
20898s	to lose 10 RS but they're sort of saving
20900s	this window for afterwards and they've
20901s	still got these two together navies
20902s	pumping out the damage but he's this
20904s	Vindicated 30 armor now he's so slowly
20907s	dropping but the more they bleed DPS
20909s	that vexil Navy goes down
20911s	it's gonna start it's going to get even
20912s	slower and even slower I might actually
20913s	see Mark Bridges start to pick back up
20915s	here the failure of can pass out is
20916s	going to go down in a second here as
20917s	well
20919s	being loved by a Vindicator will do that
20921s	to you but uh yeah 90 well it doesn't
20924s	matter about the Tanner man they will
20926s	eventually track you just load
20927s	antimatter and uh get what you get that
20931s	said uh some damage has also gone under
20933s	this arm again of Hui kante I would
20935s	assume that's the that's the abaddin uh
20937s	shooting on him though because the
20939s	abandonment doesn't really track lodgy
20940s	freaks all that well there's some damage
20942s	going on to Andy and the Deacon but he
20944s	doesn't have a brother to help him out
20946s	uh might just be all under the snave
20948s	again though there's the web under the
20950s	Deacon so the Deacon will fall
20952s	it will but I'm we're getting late into
20955s	this match now seven minutes in both
20957s	these teams have brought elements that
20958s	snowball the longer the match goes of
20959s	course the ECM gets stronger the more
20961s	targets there are only seven ships left
20962s	on the nanofiber side it's going to be
20963s	more concentrated on the other side the
20965s	two newts the bonus newts from the Navy
20966s	geddens surely they've they've
20968s	obliterated that vindicator's cap by now
20970s	he can't have many cat boosters left his
20972s	guns are going to turn off soon enough
20973s	surely and will will it last long enough
20976s	to deal with Hui kante in the Armageddon
20977s	Navy or will they in fact actually be
20979s	able to even kill him he's still just
20980s	teaching about 40 armor in The
20982s	Vindicator
20983s	yeah and they've actually split the
20984s	newts between the window and The
20985s	Vindicator they want to turn off these
20987s	uh Vindicator guns but they also want to
20989s	turn off the uh jams from the Widow
20992s	right the Widow has bonus to jam
20994s	strength that is why it is a better ship
20996s	than the Scorpion at jamming people and
20998s	not taunting people uh in addition to
21000s	its tag bonus which is kind of useless
21002s	considering it's mostly flown as an
21003s	armor ship unless you don't put any jams
21005s	on it and you're just solo dropping
21007s	people either way Deacon has been taken
21009s	down and thus far no one has died from
21011s	Platinum sensitivity Mark bridge is
21014s	staying alive he's living to win Hui
21016s	kante is almost down into structure and
21018s	he's gotten a laundry frigates to help
21019s	him out yeah 13 armor 10 armor he is
21022s	going to go down here we can't say and
21024s	of course this is as we said elimination
21025s	match the loser of this is going to go
21027s	out um with a top eight placement which
21029s	is obviously a strong performance but
21030s	both these teams would love to go
21031s	further but this is this is what this is
21034s	what makes or breaks the top tier team
21035s	here the decision making in these in
21037s	these critical moments have they decided
21039s	incorrectly to split the new say would
21042s	it have been better to pile all the news
21043s	on The Vindicator to stop his guns pile
21045s	you know all the newts on the Widow stop
21046s	the jams and just keep their DPS flowing
21048s	I don't know I don't know I mean this
21050s	I'm not a top eight pilot um but this
21052s	kind of situation is is where teams are
21054s	made make or break themselves here
21057s	yeah and we see them committing onto
21059s	Mark Bridges I think he was just fully
21060s	beating right you say oh it's a mistake
21063s	an overextension from The Vindicator
21064s	you're playing too far forward but
21065s	remember you have a Widow on your team
21068s	the strongest championship in the game
21069s	and so long as he doesn't get tackled
21071s	he's going to stay alive because you
21075s	know armaged navies They Don't Really
21076s	project all that far yeah they got rapid
21079s	heavy so probably like 50 60 right but
21081s	they don't really have a range bonus uh
21083s	either way this Widow eventually got
21085s	tackled but then you have Indian Abba
21087s	just going at it and the Widow uh
21089s	prevents the vindi from really getting
21091s	anything on top of them it's just this
21093s	one Armageddon Navy and the arbitrator
21095s	left from nanofiber tokens and I do
21097s	think Platinum sensitivity will walk
21100s	away with a clean victory yeah I think
21103s	so too I don't see any Avenue where they
21104s	kill mark Bridges here now or indeed
21105s	anyone else
21106s	um and it's going to be obviously a sad
21108s	time for nanofiber tokens strikes the
21109s	tournament like this and I guess it
21111s	comes back to at the start of the match
21112s	excuse me
21115s	um sort of questioning this two Navy
21116s	getting comp does it have enough damage
21118s	to break through battleships they spent
21120s	so long with Mark Bridges just barely
21122s	holding on 40 armor 30 armor and these
21124s	faction battleships have so much base
21125s	ehp that it can be very difficult to
21127s	actually get through them in a
21128s	reasonable period of time when you've
21129s	just got these two rapid heavy comps but
21131s	as it stands they're not gonna they're
21133s	not gonna lose everything but they are
21135s	in fact gonna lose the match 72-0 in
21137s	favor of platinum sensitivity and just
21139s	as time ends we're going to send it back
21140s	to the studio for some more analysis
21146s	[Music]
21154s	everything
21167s	[Music]
21172s	thank you
21174s	[Music]
21183s	[Applause]
21187s	[Music]
21190s	[Applause]
21192s	[Music]
21198s	connected Channel switched
21201s	well it would have been a fun easy fight
21202s	right but guess what dude I'm not if
21204s	seeing it people can't get together
21211s	enemies your temps are completely damned
21214s	out Crush I'm dumped out I'm dumped out
21216s	you don't like Champions boys
21225s	Platinum sensitivity there showing that
21227s	perhaps Nano fiber tokens were
21228s	overvalued uh in this tournament uh as
21231s	we say goodbye to nanofiber tokens uh
21233s	they do win prize ships which is great
21234s	for them uh Platinum sensitivity
21236s	continue their run through the lower
21237s	bracket of the tournament looking
21239s	perhaps to make it to the lower bracket
21241s	final where they will then go up against
21242s	the winner of the upper bracket final as
21244s	is Tradition now um Blackboard pirate we
21247s	noticed um that Vindicator seemed to be
21249s	surviving for a very long time able to
21252s	run his boosters for a long time despite
21253s	being underneath pressure and uh you
21255s	pointed out that they seem to be
21256s	dropping some some cans or something
21258s	what was going on there they did uh so
21261s	eventually you will run out of cat
21262s	boosters if the fight lasts long enough
21264s	and that was a 10-minute fight
21266s	um and I believe that Mark Bridges said
21268s	hey help me
21269s	I'm tackled and I need capacitor and
21272s	somebody drove up and they dropped some
21273s	cans for or a cans filled with catfishes
21275s	for him he looted them quickly uh you
21278s	sometimes you'll actually will be fast
21279s	enough to blow the can up before they
21281s	loot uh don't think we saw that we don't
21283s	see that very much anymore it used to be
21284s	more of a tinker setup thing but got
21286s	those was able to keep his new or keep
21288s	his capacitor going and can you do
21289s	damage and they did have two Navy
21291s	guidance which is a lot of newts so The
21293s	Vindicator was able to continue shooting
21295s	and that's always bad for its Target
21297s	factually correct there Blackboard
21298s	pirate
21300s	um CCB you were talking about the Widow
21302s	during that uh that match in fact I
21304s	believe the word used to described with
21306s	it was disgusting it is disgusting yeah
21308s	uh it's a ship that we even buffed
21310s	recently as well um it now has even
21312s	stronger ECM power than it before and I
21315s	mentioned that I I fairly recently found
21317s	out that you can actually have an ECM
21320s	burst Widow that can burst through a
21322s	Bastion Marauder which is uh like I said
21325s	disgusting so the jams on that weather
21328s	they're probably doing a lot of work in
21330s	this case obviously they're not using an
21331s	ECM burst um they're using directed gems
21333s	but dealing with that the entire match
21336s	like that must have been really rough
21338s	indeed it is now speaking of being
21340s	incredibly rough I'm told that we have
21342s	an interview with the captain of Odin's
21345s	call and that we are going to play it so
21347s	let's find out if this uh introduce
21348s	yourself to the audience please hi I'm
21351s	I'm kind of Toba I'm the 80 Captain
21353s	officially for audience call
21356s	um being Odin's daughter tcrs we have a
21359s	couple of NC palettes with us I've been
21362s	playing e for about five years I've been
21366s	doing small gang and solo stuff for
21367s	three I was co-captained for audience
21370s	during last year's 80 and 85 and this is
21373s	my first year the captain and what do
21375s	you and your team do outside of the
21377s	tournament oh so we are a wormall group
21379s	we live in a C2 with a no sex static so
21383s	we do a lot of like I mean we used to do
21385s	a lot of no sex stuff there have been a
21388s	couple changes to the game that nerfed
21390s	us but that that's still what we try to
21393s	do
21393s	uh yeah we were like a medium
21396s	medium-sized woman group I would say and
21399s	we're having fun
21400s	what level of experience does your team
21402s	have okay so yeah we got the all kind of
21405s	pilots from at veterans to uh competing
21409s	new pilots to that room
21411s	uh last year we ended up sevens in the
21414s	80 we got some anti-pilots that were
21417s	like third a few years ago
21420s	and then we got yeah company newcomers
21421s	that were just discovering the
21423s	tournament format
21426s	um we are like a pretty small team and
21428s	that's why I recruited all these NC
21431s	stackers in the first place
21432s	turns out they are as active on totem as
21435s	the Galaxy on TQ so I mean it didn't
21437s	really help uh that's how like we ended
21440s	up like nine people online 30 minutes
21442s	before our
21444s	final group match in the trial
21446s	tournament
21447s	and we have to like send messages around
21449s	to get people online and first time log
21452s	into ethereum and play the 80 match
21455s	and that's how you end up like having to
21457s	win seven or eight matches to go through
21458s	the videos
21460s	you managed to get your place in the 80
21461s	by going through the Redemption round of
21464s	the trials tournament can you tell me a
21466s	little bit about what that was like
21468s	oh well it has been stressful I won't
21469s	lie it I've been extremely stressful but
21472s	winning an 80 match which I imagine it
21475s	is even the fetus is like extremely
21478s	um like an extremely good experience so
21480s	we really enjoyed it uh obviously even
21483s	while we went through the feeders
21485s	um and uh yeah it was like a pretty hard
21488s	experience but I I loved it I really
21490s	loved it
21491s	are there any teams that you're hoping
21493s	to have the opportunity to play against
21495s	oh yeah I got like one team I want to
21497s	face and it's East Bob Utopia uh I'm
21500s	very good friend with a captain and we
21502s	got like a history of facing each other
21503s	in in all tournament we are all part of
21506s	uh it's like well I got the four last
21508s	tournament the AG uh Island tournament
21510s	last year uh the Chinese tournament
21512s	every time we face each other and it was
21515s	always like interesting matches so I'm
21516s	really looking forward to face them in
21518s	our second match
21519s	is there anything you want to say to the
21521s	audience just to wrap this up yeah about
21523s	tournaments and Eve I think tournaments
21526s	are great they are like the the peak the
21529s	end game of pp or PP enjoys and never
21532s	tried them you should go for it find the
21534s	team do some practices
21536s	even if you think you're not good enough
21537s	you'll be good enough don't worry uh
21539s	it's like a completely different style
21541s	from too much to do on on track energy
21545s	and uh yeah it's good to have people
21547s	investing their time in in tournaments
21549s	again
21550s	I really appreciate it
21552s	um so
21554s	yeah do you want a tournament team
21557s	and find tournaments it's like VDB great
21566s	there you are jintan speaks to the
21568s	captain of Odin's call uh my
21569s	commiserations uh now let's take a quick
21571s	look at the bands for this upcoming
21573s	match and see what these teams have
21574s	decided to uh ban out
21581s	so a Tesla School Banning out pontifex
21583s	Magus and bifrost Odin's called Banning
21586s	out the hyena the stormbringer and the
21587s	Nighthawk uh Blackberry pirate your
21589s	quick thoughts here uh this is the first
21591s	time we've seen somebody ban out all
21593s	bunch of command ships and that's really
21595s	cool and clearly tusker just does not
21596s	want to see armor command links so or
21598s	sorry Commissioners not command ships
21600s	that one awesome well uh with a quick
21602s	look at the bands there let's uh head
21604s	over to the arena and see who will win
21605s	between the tuscaros call and Odin's
21608s	call
21613s	welcome back to the arena guys
21615s	um as was just observed I'm actually a
21617s	little bit surprised to see those bands
21618s	because usually I've noticed this Odin's
21620s	call that decided to ban the magazine
21621s	pontino those are two of their favorite
21622s	bands I'm going to be honest I am
21624s	totally rude and voted into here because
21625s	one of the production guys uh went on a
21627s	computer that I'm logged into and went
21628s	all in on Odin's all my 12 000 points
21630s	are now resting on this Golem scorpion
21633s	Navy 2 Raven comp odens have brought
21636s	which is something very unusual I don't
21637s	think we've seen them bring and uh how
21639s	about tuskers
21641s	they've brought Shield kite and this
21644s	time around
21645s	uh they have an osprey so they will not
21648s	be having a bunch of Shield kaidi ships
21651s	that aren't using shield and her instead
21653s	uh full V War mids I might still have
21655s	e-word mids I'll have paper numbers
21657s	earlier in the tournament but either way
21660s	they actually are shield ships with
21663s	shields tank up against what is
21666s	unfortunately for them I believe a
21668s	cruise setup let me take a look at these
21670s	guns yeah
21672s	yeah this is not gonna be fun unless
21675s	they have a lot of missile guidance
21677s	disruptors which is actually rather
21679s	hilarious because on weekend one I
21681s	suggested that some sort of variant of a
21683s	full Battleship Cruise comp could be a
21685s	final weekend setup and here we are
21686s	Odin's clearly listening into my secret
21688s	strats I've decided to bring it with a
21690s	position in guaranteed top three on the
21694s	line top three to the winner of this
21695s	match
21697s	yep Cruisers you see one point on the
21700s	model that is cruises three points as
21701s	torps we saw earlier in the tournament
21703s	uh torp setup with very similar looking
21705s	battleships so this time around it is
21708s	cruises the ruse Cruise everybody's
21711s	favorite uh weapon system if you happen
21714s	to be uh someone who likes running 10
21717s	out of 10s although some people still
21720s	prefer torps boo uh either way 30
21722s	seconds till match start uh make that 15
21724s	seconds until match start I'm excited
21726s	but I also think tuscars have their work
21728s	cut out for them if they don't have
21729s	enough e-war yeah I'm very excited for
21732s	my channel points here to be honest I
21733s	think this is a very very good matchup
21734s	for the setup they're not against any
21736s	Tech 2 resist ships so
21738s	um you know there's sometimes the damage
21739s	lacking of cruises can be a problem if
21742s	you're up against something that's got a
21743s	good resist profile I can just tank
21744s	through it with reps they've got a tech
21745s	models prey and they've got a bunch of
21746s	teclan ships take one resistors playing
21748s	every character maybe Drake's
21750s	um so these Cruisers are gonna be able
21751s	to apply they've got the range they can
21752s	hit the whole Arena but it seems
21754s	actually like tuskers here are just
21755s	ramming in despite being a more sort of
21757s	kite comp I think they're saying well
21758s	there's no point really kiting here
21760s	let's just try and pump onto whatever we
21762s	can and maybe in fact use the bumps to
21764s	try and break uh the Tinker setup of
21765s	these four battleships which I believe
21767s	is what they are going to do yeah we saw
21769s	these Cruise Sinker setups earlier in
21771s	the tournament some of them won a lot of
21772s	the times they lost this time around
21774s	they delete the osprey historic gonna be
21776s	the primary target for Odin's call at
21778s	the moment but
21779s	you know taking these Shield kite setups
21781s	to kill the stork uh into crew setups
21784s	you're bowling at zero and they're
21785s	actually getting through this Golem
21786s	pretty effectively even with the bonus
21788s	rep that the Golem gets yeah and the
21790s	stalk actually boundary there I don't
21792s	really know why I mean he was gonna die
21793s	anyway but he did actually just jump out
21795s	of the arena there but yeah this golden
21796s	was kind of is absolutely melting here
21797s	he's going to go down and quickly now
21799s	Odin's need to deal with this DPS they
21801s	are looking at JJ akkin in the caracal
21803s	they had to spend you know 10-15 seconds
21804s	at the start of the match killing off
21806s	the Osprey to make sure we couldn't tank
21807s	how much damage can they clear here
21809s	these are as I said tech one boats here
21811s	caracal maybe he's just about going down
21813s	there he goes they're going to start
21814s	clearing this damage and I mean like I
21816s	said no command ships on the field here
21817s	the Golem is still just about living off
21819s	Colonel Kurtz he's still going to keep
21820s	on squeezing a few more Cycles out of
21822s	his out of his shield booster here how
21823s	much can they get in exchange for him
21825s	I don't know if they can actually get a
21827s	whole lot more they got first caracal
21829s	maybe second care cold maybe they've
21830s	lost their bursts they're gonna lose
21831s	their bands on their tech one lodgy
21833s	frags in this particular thing and we
21835s	saw the Golem had all the rapping power
21838s	in the world at his side but this is
21839s	overwhelming damage coming in uh even
21842s	from these hm elbows these aren't even
21843s	hams uh and you can see the attack bar
21846s	of testers actually were these hamsters
21848s	did I actually just look at this wrong
21849s	no I think I think they are heavy
21851s	missiles and that's why
21853s	um you know the damage is just not as
21855s	good I think I'm pretty sure they're
21857s	heavy missile models no it's so so it's
21859s	hands on the cyclone
21861s	the Drake navies looked like they had
21863s	hmls is this mixed weapons I'm actually
21865s	yeah those are hmls
21867s	this is pretty so weird okay so now
21869s	we're in a situation regardless of that
21871s	we're in a situation where neither team
21872s	has lodgy and it's just going to be a
21873s	pure DPS race and I have to say with the
21875s	just pure HP of the three battleships on
21878s	Odin's side I really favor them here
21879s	there's no command ship with any staying
21881s	power they are absolutely melting
21882s	through them the second Navy caracal
21884s	goes down now they're looking at the
21885s	Navy Drake of vld they've still got the
21887s	vigil for bonus paints to help those
21888s	Cruise applications they've got the
21889s	fleet video for webs as well Odin's I
21892s	mean this is going to be a very very
21893s	close match here the Raven of the
21895s	Paradigm is going to go down here how
21897s	how is this DPS race going to turn out
21899s	in the end I really have no idea to be
21900s	honest with you and it's cruises versus
21902s	mixed heads hmls I mean once again I
21904s	could just be reading that model wrong
21906s	but you saw it too they're going to go
21908s	on to the straight Navy issue and the
21909s	Raven I mean he's tanking for quite a
21911s	bit it doesn't even look like he has a
21912s	shield booster actually he does have a
21914s	shield booster but just not an ancillary
21915s	Shield booster he will go down into uh
21918s	low armor trading for the Drake Navy
21920s	issue now they have to deal with a raven
21922s	and a scorpion Navy with a drake Navy a
21924s	Drake and a cyclone
21926s	they do but they've still got these
21928s	frigates here and it's up to tuskers to
21930s	say I mean for Odin's here I think the
21931s	target calling is pretty easy you just
21933s	say we clear as much DPS as quickly as
21934s	possible now we're looking at the Navy
21935s	oil spray they can hit anything with
21936s	these Cruisers but tuskers have the
21938s	difficult decision to make here they say
21939s	do we commit you know 15 20 seconds
21941s	killing off the fleet vigil killing off
21943s	the tech one vigil in fact the tech one
21945s	vigil of Hodor is actually miles away
21946s	across the arena they can't really look
21947s	at him except with the heavy missiles
21948s	that'll require splitting DPS but the
21950s	vigil Fleet of ethyl is going to go down
21952s	here but I mean they're taking chunks on
21954s	Christina and the Osprey Navy this is
21955s	still going to go to the wire
21958s	indeed it is toast brought and Raven I
21960s	mean he's got some cap transfers to help
21962s	him uh stay alive but with that Golem
21963s	down they have significant amount of
21965s	their tank off the field they're gonna
21967s	try to go for the Salisbury Navy as you
21968s	mentioned Christina now 65 kilometers
21970s	away from the arena center he is trying
21972s	to move away from these missile boats at
21975s	the moment he's not tackled down but
21976s	still cruise missiles they hit
21978s	everywhere in the arena and he is about
21980s	to dive into armor yeah and of course
21982s	the vigil's still got him painted as
21983s	well and with this Tinker setup that
21986s	Odin's have brought here the more DPS
21988s	they kill sort of the exponentially
21990s	longer it takes to deal to break through
21993s	this raven he's receiving cap transfers
21994s	as you saw his and Seal Shield is going
21996s	to keep going they are going to take
21997s	another Salisbury Navy
21998s	um and eventually they'll get to a point
22000s	where it's going to take more time than
22001s	the match has left to deal with this
22004s	Raven and this sort of attritional comp
22006s	here from Odin's where I've taken clear
22008s	DPS they can actually sustain through us
22010s	through a reasonable amount of DPS
22012s	whereas the tuskers at this point is
22014s	just pure ehp they have no attritional
22017s	power they either make enough progress
22018s	in time or they don't whereas the the
22020s	Odin's call comp sort of stalls things
22022s	out by they prove their chances they
22024s	store things out by killing off
22026s	um more and more DPS to the point where
22027s	they'll be able to tank and now the Navy
22028s	Drake the second one of mirror achieve
22030s	is going to go down here I think this is
22031s	looking Odin's cool favored but that
22033s	first Raven of tow Sprite is slowly
22035s	breaking can they kill Mira in time
22037s	I don't think they can toast prod is
22039s	inner armor mirror down to about 60
22042s	Shield remaining sorry 35 Shield
22044s	romantic 60 gone now to 24 but look
22047s	toast brought he's already into
22049s	structure right now and he doesn't have
22050s	a whole lot of structure on this raven
22051s	they're gonna take out the straight Navy
22052s	perhaps but then it's a Drake and a
22055s	cyclone versus a scorpion Navy issue
22057s	Scorpio Nikki very tanky ship we'll see
22060s	he doesn't have cap transfers to help
22061s	him stay alive though yeah that's the
22063s	problem when you're stuck in this
22064s	situation where you've only got one
22065s	Battleship these setups are obviously
22067s	built around having the cap transfers
22069s	between two battleships to try and keep
22070s	the ancill running when it's just him on
22071s	his own he's got his nine charges and
22073s	then that's it so it's still gonna be
22075s	him he's probably gonna kill a strike
22077s	Navy but then he's going to be against
22078s	the Drake and the cyclone and of course
22080s	the fly catcher I I still don't really
22082s	know if he's going to be able to deal
22083s	with both of those they are going to be
22084s	buffer fit as you say there is a lot of
22085s	the HP on the Scorpion Navy I'm I'm
22087s	still questioning who's going to come
22088s	out on top here I don't really know
22090s	yokon about to get into the half uh
22093s	Shield but he is taking down the strike
22094s	Navy issue then he's got a Drake and a
22096s	cyclone probably goes for the Cyclone
22097s	first I would have to imagine as he is
22099s	doing more damage right now with those
22101s	heavy assault missiles I still can't
22102s	believe they mix the weapon systems on
22104s	this comp that Drake Navy of Mira though
22106s	he is finally into structure 21
22108s	structure remaining he goes down the
22110s	Scorpion Navy might actually be able to
22111s	hold now but he has to take out the
22113s	cyclone and then the Drake in that order
22115s	if he goes to the Drake first it's a
22117s	huge mistake
22119s	yeah we'll see what she chooses I think
22120s	the target painter is on the Drake so
22122s	they are actually going to go for the
22123s	Drake first maybe they feel the Drake
22124s	has their CHP compared to the Cyclone
22126s	with his xlrsb charges but yokan's going
22129s	into 40 Shield here three and a half
22131s	minutes left on the match this is going
22133s	to be very very tight still I mean they
22134s	are yeah they are shooting toss the tour
22135s	in the Drake I'm not sure whether damage
22136s	has stopped was he reloading for a
22138s	second now he started firing those
22139s	cruises again
22140s	this is crazy
22143s	Drake's an absolute prick he is taking
22145s	damage from the Scorpion Navy with no
22147s	reps with no anselor Shield booster I
22149s	think this actually might have been the
22150s	wrong call can contrary to what I said
22152s	even though Drake has a brick for aehp
22154s	cyclone has the active reps and should
22155s	be able to deal with this Cruise setup
22157s	from the Scorpion Navy issue the visual
22159s	taking a bit of damage at the moment as
22160s	well but keeps those paints on that
22162s	Drake yokan now into armor toaster in
22166s	the Drake only at 60 Shields I think
22169s	they might actually do it and take out
22170s	the Scorpion Navy issue yeah it's just
22173s	it just seems to be just enough damage
22174s	here and I'm really mauling my points
22176s	here 12 000 points down the drain thank
22178s	you very much Kyle I I would have
22180s	gambled on Odin's anyway to be honest I
22181s	believed and then we scrimmed with them
22183s	a lot but obviously very very
22183s	comfortable
22186s	he's ripping again oh my goodness and
22190s	he's still killing this Drake 50 Shield
22192s	am i Points coming back to me
22194s	two and a half minutes left in the match
22196s	toasted her in the Drake down to 50
22198s	Shields remaining and yokon he's able to
22201s	Ansel rep all the way back up to half
22203s	Shields he's got nine reps in the Ansel
22205s	charges Heating and believing he got an
22207s	Ansel reload off through the armor I
22210s	can't believe what I'm seeing right now
22212s	yeah and this is really good play from
22214s	yokan as well Min maxing this xlisb
22216s	charges every time he Cycles he's
22218s	keeping his health at about 33 he's
22220s	maximizing that passive regen and when
22222s	he kills the Drake it's just gonna be
22223s	the cyclone and the Fly Catcher left
22224s	will they be able to bake through the
22226s	passive region of this scorpion Navy
22227s	issue oh my goodness
22229s	a minute 50 seconds remain in the match
22231s	toasted her in the Drake now diving into
22234s	armor this is going to be extremely
22236s	close because yokan he's out of
22237s	ancillary charges now he's just working
22240s	on just the cap from his ship onto the
22243s	reperto he's into structure he goes down
22246s	now he has to go for the Cyclone his
22248s	caller now 83 points to 76 minute 30
22251s	remaining they have barely any Shield
22253s	health left on yokan but it's just a
22256s	cyclone left for tuskers can he reload
22260s	the xlsb does he even need to here it's
22262s	just the cyclone in the flycatcher I
22263s	think actually doubts the wire Odin's
22266s	are going to take this by the points
22267s	margin here yokan is still just about
22269s	cycling
22270s	I don't think there's enough damage here
22272s	on the other side to kill him what a
22273s	fantastic match but Odin's I'm I'm sure
22276s	of it at this point actually conversely
22277s	to what I said earlier Odin's are
22278s	actually going to take this and wow what
22280s	a match what a comp what a fight Drupal
22283s	cruises quadruple Cruisers you were
22286s	saying hey this might be a thing and I'm
22288s	like ah nah no one's gonna bring quad
22290s	Battleship that's so many points on
22292s	battleships and you don't get anything
22293s	else not only did they bring a Golem
22296s	which is the most expensive not the most
22298s	expensive Battleship but the most
22299s	expensive uh for none The Shack
22302s	Battleship non-balgor not special
22304s	battleship in the game but also
22308s	you're winning with just the Scorpion
22311s	Navy left alive after all that is said
22314s	and done I cannot believe it Odin's call
22317s	are gonna go to the upper bracket finals
22319s	and face the winner of we form Volta and
22322s	uh lock range enjoyers it is and this is
22325s	absolutely fantastic and I look forward
22326s	I mean I I said earlier day three is
22328s	always full of absolute bangers and this
22329s	match was no exception and I just want
22331s	to give another shout out again to yokan
22333s	here for optimizing those Shield reps
22334s	just to put his shield at the right
22336s	point for the maximum region I think
22337s	maximum Shield regen is like three times
22339s	as high as it is uh you know like 70 80
22342s	it's a really important fact when you've
22343s	got so much Shield HP and they are going
22345s	to do it here as time Runs Out
22346s	congratulations to Odin's locking in a
22349s	top three finish in Alliance tournament
22351s	18. we're going to send it back to the
22352s	studio for some more analysis on that
22353s	one but wow what a match
22357s	[Music]
22373s	thank you
22383s	foreign
22392s	foreign
22398s	[Music]
22418s	foreign
22422s	[Music]
22437s	[Music]
22452s	the curse is over gentan it's over we've
22456s	made it out the other end Alton's call
22458s	despite the curse despite the odds have
22461s	pulled it out with a big win over the
22464s	tuskers call in the most exciting match
22466s	that I've seen today like holy crap that
22469s	uh just everything about that match like
22471s	I thought it was back and forth back and
22473s	forward he got that ASB reload off just
22475s	at the last minute you were literally
22477s	dancing around like panicking that no
22479s	one would ever talk to you ever again
22481s	for interviews
22484s	yeah I'd like to thank priest of yokan
22487s	for exercising me
22491s	Blackboard pirate talk to me what
22492s	happened in that match so many things
22495s	um I think it was a well we heard it
22496s	with the commentaries uh basically
22499s	uh there was a combination of heavy
22502s	missiles and heavy assault missiles
22504s	there and then they just rammed the
22506s	entire fleet directly into it because I
22507s	think they recognized okay these four
22509s	ships are probably a tinker we need to
22510s	split them apart they actually kinda
22513s	sucked at bumping them apart even though
22514s	they had 10 people Ram which is why
22516s	everything lived for so long and then I
22519s	mean it just got whittled down like the
22520s	cruise missiles apply pretty well to uh
22523s	Shield battle Cruisers they play
22524s	decently well the shield chips and the
22526s	big thing that kept happening was Odin's
22528s	calls vigil Fleet issue was left alive
22530s	for so long so they actually had that
22532s	extra application of the target painters
22534s	and the webs that let four cruise
22536s	missile battleships which
22538s	questionable I mean obviously it worked
22541s	but questionable still let them apply
22544s	ended up being a Navy scorpion basically
22546s	I won't say 1v1ning because there was a
22548s	vigil there and that definitely helped
22549s	but pretty much solo pvping down that
22552s	last four minutes yeah I'm also actually
22554s	told by some of our observers in the
22556s	system uh that the scorp Navy ran out of
22559s	missiles during that fight and actually
22560s	had to loot some from the wreck of his
22562s	teammate so that's why we might have
22564s	seen the damage drop off for a little
22565s	bit as he was looking for more missiles
22567s	that's how long that match went on like
22570s	oh absolutely incredible match great
22572s	performance Odin's calls securing
22574s	themselves third place at worst now so
22576s	they will go forward to face
22578s	um the winner of our next match Volta
22580s	versus lockrange enjoyers in the winners
22582s	bracket final uh the winner of that of
22584s	course going into the Grand Final and
22586s	the loser dropping down to the lower
22589s	bracket final so even if they lose twice
22592s	and they're coming up then they get
22593s	third place which is awesome that's a
22596s	whole bunch of ships we spoke about this
22597s	in our tier list and at the start of the
22599s	show Odin's have been a team on the
22601s	ascendancy for for quite some time uh
22603s	they're going to be of course super
22604s	happy with that and they should they
22606s	that absolutely deserve it from that
22607s	performance there the tusker is cool
22609s	we'll we'll be back they are not
22611s	eliminated they've just been dropped
22612s	down into the lower bracket they still
22614s	retain their Flagship crucially very
22617s	crucially so they'll be able to use that
22618s	in those lower bracket matches uh and
22620s	make a difference now I'm told we have
22623s	an update to our graph and we can throw
22625s	to that uh Jen it's happened the win
22628s	rate after the Gin interview oh can I
22630s	get this oh no I can't
22632s	um as uh it's no longer just a big fat
22634s	goose egg it's happened people will talk
22636s	to you next year you'll be very pleased
22637s	with that yeah and I imagine now thanks
22639s	to that you'll be happy for us to play
22640s	the voter interview after this right
22642s	absolutely not uh let's move on so let's
22645s	look at the bands for this upcoming uh
22647s	match
22652s	okay so we form Volta batting out the
22654s	abaddin the Magus and the pontifex Loch
22657s	ranging jar is banning at the Osprey
22658s	Navy the EOS and the Osprey uh
22661s	Blackberry pirate what do you make of
22662s	this
22663s	it's kind of strange uh we haven't
22665s	actually seen lock range enjoyers really
22667s	doing anything with the bad ends maguses
22669s	or pontifexes so either Volta knows
22672s	something about them that none of us
22674s	including the people watching
22675s	analystizing and commenting do or
22678s	they're trolling and Volta says we don't
22680s	care we know we can Crush you no matter
22682s	what you bring Locker engine doors
22683s	though bring pretty classic uh the EOS
22685s	band very very standard at this point
22687s	very strong ship helps with drones helps
22689s	with armor and Osprey Navy and Osprey
22691s	are both like classically targeted at
22694s	Volta we've seen the Osprey Navy become
22696s	this incredible sort of multi-tool ship
22698s	that fits into so many different shield
22699s	setups and I think that a very very
22702s	smart choice on lock range enjoyers
22704s	yeah I'd like to see if we can put up
22706s	some of the pilots graphs of Volta and
22709s	lot range enjoyers uh if we if we may
22713s	um I'm told that we are sorting that
22714s	right now until then
22716s	um let's do our little predictions
22717s	actually there so Blackberry pirate what
22720s	do you think uh we form Volta or Locker
22722s	engine doors I think we form Volta
22724s	definitely absolutely unequivocally
22726s	cannot possibly lose this because they
22728s	are just so so good can we mute his
22731s	microphone please
22732s	yeah I think I'm mostly going to go for
22734s	lock range enjoyers here uh you know
22735s	you've got a shout out to the homies
22737s	mute too please
22739s	um and clearly it's going to be uh
22741s	lockrange enjoyers um we are we have to
22743s	retain the Captain's Curse
22745s	we do have long range Players let's
22746s	throw them up on the screen and have a
22747s	look at that
22749s	so uh lock range enjoy is captained by
22751s	damasis Kadesh uh very experienced
22753s	tournament pilot not only has he played
22755s	27 matches in the last tournament itself
22757s	he captained a team in the Mario
22758s	championship and a number of teams in
22760s	things like the anger games and the
22762s	alliance open so uh very experienced
22764s	pilot um and really really cool dude uh
22766s	Canadian very very pleasant I went
22768s	climbing with him at Fan Fest nice guy a
22771s	bunch of other experienced Pilots as
22772s	well uh including Gorski car of course
22774s	former CSM and Tim Baron do we have the
22779s	uh Volta one of this we don't have the
22781s	Volta one of this well we're pretty much
22783s	almost ready to go to the arena
22785s	um I am hoping obviously for a Volta
22787s	Victory here
22788s	um that's my that's my boys
22790s	um
22791s	whatever part is your mic unmuted
22794s	yes
22796s	yes it is what can we what do you think
22799s	we can expect here like this is a very
22801s	interesting matchup between these two
22802s	teams Volta have been undefeated
22804s	obviously so I've locked range enjoyers
22806s	we've seen both teams bring interesting
22807s	things uh Volta bringing that Flagship
22809s	Vargas a couple of times
22811s	what do you what do you maybe expect
22813s	here I think it's a it's going to be
22814s	interesting because I think Locker
22816s	Engineers has actually been playing sort
22818s	of their own game a little bit we've
22819s	been seeing this sort of like triple
22821s	executive Navy sword of a fly killer
22824s	range control maybe even octodad-ish
22827s	setup and nobody else is really doing
22829s	that so uh we'll see if Walter's like
22831s	figured out how to counter it because
22832s	block Engineers have been winning very
22835s	very well with it
22836s	doing a bunch of analysis of what people
22838s	are bringing and things uh what are your
22840s	thoughts I know we've seen so many new
22843s	comps today that we haven't seen over
22844s	the previous weekend so that it's hard
22846s	to really understand what we should
22848s	expect
22849s	um but I'm given voters banned it seems
22851s	like they are worried about sort of a
22853s	control setup coming out from uh this
22857s	Locker engine joyous team which is
22858s	surprising because we haven't seen that
22860s	brought yet
22862s	um I don't know I really don't know and
22864s	I'm excited to see what they do bring
22866s	well I mean let's go to the arena and
22867s	find out as we go for we from Volta
22870s	versus lockrange endures
22881s	welcome back to the arena looks like my
22883s	co-caster uh might be having some audio
22885s	issues right now so I'm solo casting for
22887s	the time being my name is here Vina the
22890s	Basilisk will be joining us eventually
22892s	uh this is gonna be fun lock range
22894s	enjoyers have decided to once again
22896s	bring some variation of Octodad uh that
22900s	is not Octodad but relies on Navy
22901s	Cruisers instead uh those being uh exact
22905s	navies and on the flip side Volta also
22909s	bringing some variation of Octodad
22911s	perhaps they've brought four battle
22913s	Cruisers instead of the three uh but
22916s	still having high projection Anis uh and
22919s	an auger for Reps for them as the Reps
22923s	for the side of lock range enjoyers are
22925s	also inaugural so very squishy not
22929s	really but still T1 reps uh not as much
22932s	as in or near us we are about to get
22933s	ready to go as a moderator I believe has
22937s	stepped in perhaps or maybe Baza is back
22939s	I'm not sure we are starting the match
22941s	Baza if you're here please say something
22945s	yeah unfortunately it seems like baza's
22948s	having trouble oxidad is well in back
22950s	but just Cruisers and battle Cruisers
22952s	Edition augur of ryload is taking a good
22955s	amount of damage not a lot of tracking
22957s	disruption really on grid and I mean
22959s	these long-range uh mid uh size
22963s	platforms are able to project quite far
22966s	yeah and we do see some tracking
22968s	disruptions go in the way of lock range
22969s	enjoyers uh we form Volta bringing those
22972s	in their mid slots while Locker engine
22974s	joy as it looks like have been
22975s	preferring the damps they are able to
22976s	take Planet 6 also known as reload off
22979s	the table though so Volta without their
22980s	lodging off the start of the match
22983s	yeah that's pretty disastrous for Volta
22986s	you would expect them to get some damage
22988s	or something in return but an auger down
22990s	that is the worst possible outcome right
22992s	now
22993s	um volt is losing an executive Navy
22994s	issue Tim Baron is being primaried in
22997s	his auger but he's burning away uh the
23000s	hyena of tick tock has gotten on top of
23001s	him and Tin will eventually drop
23004s	um e-box in his exec Navy is
23007s	doing a good job of getting on top of
23008s	Tim Baron and forcing The Kill
23011s	and they keep on uh trying to take down
23015s	that auger they finally do a box in the
23018s	exact Navy trying to pull range at the
23020s	moment uh is down to 14 armor but hasn't
23023s	really taken a whole lot now just kind
23025s	of getting plinked at and they are
23027s	swapping over to Melinda in this hard
23028s	wringer but eibach's now into structure
23031s	barely surviving they might get another
23033s	good couple of shots and the striker in
23035s	the opposite exact Navy is going down
23037s	fast
23039s	yeah I mean they're gonna trade again
23040s	but I mean right now it seems like the
23043s	DPS race is you know fairly even right
23047s	now but look at the jams from the
23048s	Blackbirds um onto we form Volta
23051s	um that's going to be really the key
23053s	here is are those jams actually
23054s	effective I mean maybe not because Mr
23057s	Rambo uh into the connect exact Navy is
23060s	down at the hall and drops uh meanwhile
23061s	Belinda is the primary for Locker engine
23064s	joyrs and uh
23066s	being held down but not quite
23070s	yeah not quite being held down I mean we
23073s	see there is a web onto Xiao Yi and the
23076s	Navy harbringer and a web on to Annie in
23079s	the native verdicts as Harvey though
23080s	he's only being scrammed so uh doesn't
23083s	have a web on top of him but no prop mod
23086s	as there is some damage now going on of
23088s	this Blackbird of Jamal uh we saw
23090s	blackbirds being used to some effect
23091s	earlier in the tournament there's still
23093s	more damage being put onto xiaoi so they
23094s	will trade a Harbinger for harboring our
23096s	Navy perhaps Volta still in the lead so
23099s	far in this fight uh as soon as they
23102s	take down shall we
23105s	yeah I feel like volta's actually
23107s	starting to run away with this now even
23108s	though they started on the back foot
23109s	with rylo going down first I mean look
23112s	at what Volta has left they've got two
23114s	Aug navies a hurricane Fleet issue and
23116s	brutics in a harboring for damage
23118s	meanwhile lock range has just two
23120s	command ships not good
23123s	no it's not good at all Absolution in a
23126s	star day I mean we see these Navy battle
23128s	Cruisers pulling their weight the
23129s	spirit's Navy issue of antidote is
23131s	tackled and they are now down to half
23135s	armor remaining these blackbirds doing
23136s	some work there's a whole lot of damage
23138s	coming out from we form Volta at the
23140s	moment although this Absolution now down
23142s	in half armor just as I'm saying that
23145s	you have the Absolution down into half
23147s	armor they're trading out for the brutix
23149s	Navy issue of antigr debt but just
23150s	looking at the DPS bars right now reform
23153s	Volta is solidly winning the trade right
23155s	now
23156s	um blue morpheme and masks Kadesh are
23157s	going to go down before any guard that
23159s	does once it happens it's only going to
23161s	be grunt versus world and Volta in a
23164s	commanding position
23167s	take down the Blackbird now taking down
23169s	the Absolution there's one Blackbird
23170s	left of Jamal Annie gardetto into
23172s	structure 50 structure remaining but you
23174s	got a hurricane Fleet issue a hard Navy
23176s	an all-ger Navy and another ini on top
23179s	of that they're gonna go for grunting
23180s	the astarde now and that is pretty much
23182s	all she wrote We formed Volta going back
23185s	up and getting top three once again they
23187s	will be in the winners bracket finals
23189s	tomorrow
23192s	yeah that'll be an exhilarating match uh
23194s	lock range enjoyers getting knocked down
23196s	we haven't seen the last of them they
23199s	will have to play uh truth on light in
23201s	the lower bracket uh not an enviable
23204s	position uh to be in uh meanwhile uh
23207s	voltage is continuing to churn through
23209s	the remaining armor of grunt Cato he's
23211s	doing his best to Hero rep but I mean
23213s	it's not going to be enough against two
23215s	faction Cruisers and uh two faction
23217s	battle Cruisers
23219s	and yeah not not nearly enough damage I
23223s	think uh pseudo Octodad is now what
23226s	we're calling this one because it's not
23228s	eight battle Cruisers but it's pretty
23230s	dying close with these Navy Cruisers and
23232s	we form Volta uh coming up with the
23234s	better version of that setup against the
23236s	team that has constantly been bringing
23237s	it
23238s	and just has been waiting for the right
23240s	moment to use it they will trade control
23242s	Fleek for the sister day but it's just a
23244s	black bird it carries in the Confessor
23245s	which do pitiful damage compared
23248s	two were you from Volta
23252s	yeah unfortunately
23254s	um I think lock range enjoyers choking
23256s	slightly more than my co-host uh as
23259s	major Jenkins uh goes down leaving
23261s	control freak live just in a sliver of
23264s	whole but uh no damage left the attack
23267s	bar for lock range has gone to zero just
23269s	like their lifespan in this upper
23271s	bracket absolutely no attack and uh they
23275s	will go down to the lower bracket they
23276s	are going to face truth on her light not
23279s	a matchup you really want to get uh
23282s	necessarily truth honor light kind of uh
23285s	absolutely demolishing templates we are
23286s	going to send it back to the desk though
23288s	to bring us into the final two matches
23289s	of the day don't go anywhere we will be
23291s	right back
23295s	[Music]
23304s	foreign
23320s	[Music]
23333s	[Music]
23341s	foreign
23359s	[Music]
23372s	we form Volta there taking the victory
23374s	over lock range enjoyers as we of course
23377s	knew they would uh now jintan uh super
23380s	interesting setups there from both teams
23382s	at almost a mirror match a little bit of
23384s	difference uh one side bringing a bunch
23386s	more battle Crews the other side I'd
23387s	like to bring the command ships but also
23390s	blackbirds uh we heard fear referred to
23392s	it as the sudo Octodad what is the ox
23394s	dad and why is that not the name of this
23396s	comp
23397s	um so the Octodad all traces its lineage
23399s	back to Alliance tournament 15 where we
23402s	didn't have any limits for the amount of
23404s	classes of ship you could bring for
23406s	those of you unaware you could only
23407s	bring four of one type such as uh four
23410s	Cruisers or four battle Cruisers
23413s	um and currently
23415s	uh
23417s	um and this is effectively trying to do
23418s	the same thing that that was doing which
23420s	is just abusing medium guns medium
23422s	turrets and later on medium missiles but
23425s	that was a specific medical
23428s	um what you're trying to what you're
23429s	trying to do is just be able to project
23431s	DPS all the way across the arena you
23434s	know um medium guns have the best kind
23436s	of
23437s	uh
23439s	uh cross between tracking and ability to
23441s	apply to Long Rangers you can hit up to
23442s	70 80 kilometers with some of these
23444s	ships and they still do a tremendous
23445s	amount of damage when they get up close
23447s	and personal
23448s	speaking of tracking Bart can you just
23450s	take us through this I can we have a
23452s	Mauler getting shot at by a hurricane
23454s	and going fast but not fast enough so it
23458s	gets blown up however when you get a
23459s	smaller ship or a faster ship the guns
23462s	can't uh turn as much according to the
23464s	calculations to actually hit the target
23466s	this can also be based off of things
23468s	like signature radius uh so like when
23471s	you're micro warp driving your ship is
23473s	considered bigger by The Game and
23474s	therefore is hit easier and also range
23477s	the farther away you are you know the I
23479s	guess slower your ship moves and
23481s	relative speed to your target so like
23483s	genton said about the medium guns they
23485s	have very very good tracking
23487s	um from a massive distance of range so
23490s	they pretty much can hit anything
23491s	assuming the piloting is pretty well I
23493s	think we saw some slept nears that were
23494s	hitting things that they probably
23495s	shouldn't have been able to due to good
23497s	piloting earlier today
23499s	and Jen do you think that uh lock range
23501s	enjoyers could have done something
23502s	different in that match to maybe pull
23504s	out a victory over we from Volta
23507s	um no it's always going to be very
23508s	difficult for them just because of the
23510s	construction of that composition
23512s	um
23513s	uh Volta was able to kind of spread out
23515s	they were and still be able to actually
23518s	project damage onto those blackbirds
23519s	onto those control ships from their uh
23522s	from the lock range enjoyer's side with
23524s	relative ease I think the only thing
23526s	they could have done is maybe use those
23527s	command ships a bit more effectively I
23529s	don't know if they had tackle modules
23531s	fit um but if they did if they could
23532s	have maybe held them together or pinned
23535s	them in closer at the start of the fight
23536s	push them towards a corner uh maybe that
23539s	could have worked but it was always
23540s	going to be quite an uphill battle it
23542s	was kind of one of those things that was
23543s	lost a little bit of pick and bans from
23545s	my opinion and Bart with those
23547s	blackbirds instead of more DPS ships
23550s	um and do you agree with that choice do
23553s	you think that they'd been better off
23554s	just taking more straight up DPS ships
23556s	in this case uh I I like their setup
23559s	um I think that uh jyn is right in that
23561s	so while you're jammed obviously you
23563s	can't lock anything besides the
23564s	Blackbird so you keep the Blackbirds far
23566s	away and then if like Jen said he pushed
23568s	the command ships in super close use
23570s	that Medium gun close range ammo
23572s	um that might have been sort of the big
23574s	difference here because I feel that uh
23576s	it was kind of like a skirmish from like
23578s	a bit of range and
23580s	if you have jams you know that you have
23581s	like the faster you get stuff down the
23583s	more effective they are just because
23584s	then there's less ships you you can
23586s	start doubling up tripling up on the
23587s	same ships there and I think that they
23589s	just had to be a little more aggressive
23590s	in that case
23591s	um it looked like they were starting off
23593s	really really well but then it just kind
23594s	of Volta slowly caught up just because
23597s	seven chips has a lot of damage and four
23598s	is not as much yeah uh reload AKA Planet
23602s	sex AKA new Eden's finest Logistics
23604s	speed bump went down fairly quickly at
23606s	the start and there was a small amount
23608s	of worry from my my perspective but then
23610s	that was uh quickly quashed by the uh
23613s	the great performance of the Volta team
23615s	there I'm very proud of you guys
23617s	um let's have a look at the bands for
23619s	our upcoming match which is going to be
23620s	the telstra's call versus platinum
23621s	sensitivity so uh tuskers choosing to
23624s	balance the Scimitar the Basilisk and
23626s	the jackdaw whereas Platinum sensitivity
23628s	Banning out the EOS the jackdot and the
23630s	hyena because they both banded the
23631s	jackdaw we have some trickle bands and
23633s	tuskers banning a deacon with Platinum
23635s	sensitivity Banning out the Osprey
23637s	jintan what do you make of these bands
23638s	here
23640s	um well obviously the taskers don't want
23641s	to face a shield kite setup Banning out
23643s	the Scimitar and the Basilisk uh those
23646s	are very very key ships to that setup
23648s	normally we just think of that as being
23650s	a scimitar comp but we did see another
23652s	team I can't remember which one off the
23653s	top of my head use a bass or this kite
23655s	set up fairly effectively earlier today
23658s	um does make me wonder what they're
23659s	bringing though that is so vulnerable to
23661s	a kite Setter perhaps some sort of
23664s	double or triple Battleship control
23665s	setup
23666s	yeah so very interesting that they're
23668s	buying at that Osprey as well it's not
23669s	the Super not super common band so we'll
23671s	see how that goes for them uh we're
23672s	looking now at the tuskers uh Team over
23675s	the over the years so 55 Pilots have
23677s	flown from them uh electronicus being
23679s	one of their most senior uh along up
23681s	there along with Suleiman sure the
23684s	tuskers executor and CEO they've been a
23687s	very successful uh Alliance over the
23689s	years they first competed in fact as the
23690s	tusker bastards uh back in the day
23692s	before they went independent and uh that
23694s	led to them winning a live stream at 14
23696s	uh in a solid Victory against pandemic
23698s	Legion
23700s	um they have not been as successful over
23703s	the last couple of years but you can see
23704s	there they won a whole bunch of
23705s	difficult matches against uh good teams
23707s	and this year we're seeing them perform
23709s	super super well Platinum sensitivity as
23712s	as we've seen before a bit of a smaller
23714s	team core 15 people have flown for them
23716s	uh but again a whole bunch of veterans
23718s	Mark Bridges there with 10 matches
23720s	played in nightcap with 17. uh they've
23723s	also been quite a successful team
23724s	winning more than they've lost which is
23725s	always good you get more practice as you
23727s	get better and only dropping this time
23729s	against nanofiber tokens and Volta which
23731s	is a you know pretty respectful run thus
23734s	far
23735s	um Volta of course will join Odin's call
23738s	in the witness bracket final at some
23741s	point later tomorrow where they also
23743s	guarantee themselves no worse than third
23745s	place
23746s	the tuskers called Platinum sensitivity
23748s	this is a elimination match so these
23750s	teams are now fighting not to be
23752s	eliminated from the tournament
23754s	do you think we might start to see we're
23756s	not going to see a flagship from
23757s	Platinum sensitivity because it's dead
23758s	but do you might think do you think we
23760s	might see one from the tuskers here I
23762s	mean I hope so like you would always
23763s	hope that you know they've that's their
23765s	their you know their secret sauce their
23766s	linchpin whatever you want to use and I
23769s	would hope that they'd bring it out um
23770s	it maybe won't happen depending on uh
23774s	how much respect there is I think we did
23776s	in fact see Volta has been not bringing
23778s	it and not needing it because they think
23780s	that you know a lot of times if you
23781s	think that
23782s	we don't need it to win maybe you're not
23784s	going to just in case something weird
23786s	happens like we saw a stork decide a
23788s	boundary earlier that almost cost a
23790s	match and what if you do that in your
23791s	Flagship like a pandemic Legion pilot so
23793s	you never know you got to be super
23795s	careful with this um I don't
23798s	I don't know if the flagship Choice here
23800s	will matter as much because it seems
23803s	that Platinum sensitivity
23805s	kind of has been bringing the same thing
23806s	over and over again and I think that
23808s	that's a lot more like figuring out how
23810s	to beat that is probably more important
23812s	than being like Oh yes we'll save our
23814s	Flagship though so we'll see what
23815s	happens and Jim what do you think about
23817s	the choice of a bar guest and a
23819s	Vindicator as flag hits from these two
23821s	teams like they clearly have a different
23822s	understanding of the meta and what they
23824s	want to do with their flagships uh The
23826s	Vindicator usually doesn't scale as much
23828s	as ships like the bar guest so you have
23830s	any thoughts on this
23832s	um yeah I think it just generally
23833s	depends on what you're trying to do with
23835s	your Flagship you know the fin the
23837s	flagship Vindicator especially when it's
23838s	as expensive as thieve indicator that
23841s	Platinum sensitivity lost does open up a
23844s	lot of unique power especially if you
23846s	expect it to come down to some kind of
23848s	armor control mirrors uh the 90 the 90
23851s	plus percent webs that they can uh shoot
23854s	out to like 22 24 kilometers with boosts
23858s	and officer webs is just so so potent it
23860s	allows you to get in there grab a
23862s	logistics forget and just remove it from
23864s	the grid with without you know nearly a
23866s	problem whereas a T2 fit Vindicator
23869s	wouldn't be able to achieve that whereas
23871s	a bar guest itself is it's just a better
23874s	version of a regular bar guest it
23875s	doesn't offer that a different way of
23878s	doing things that said we have seen this
23880s	bug SB flow very very effectively by
23882s	teams previously it gives you such a
23884s	wide wide catch radius all you need to
23887s	do is have one ship you know forget that
23889s	the bar guest is a flagship and then
23890s	it's caught and then it dies and that
23892s	can turn an entire match yeah we
23894s	speaking of that actually we saw vld
23896s	from the tuskers flying his bar gas as
23899s	Flagship bar gas to great effect against
23901s	truth on a light earlier on in a super
23904s	exciting match uh so if you guys haven't
23906s	seen that one make sure you go back and
23908s	watch it when the vods become available
23909s	but
23911s	um have you had any like favorite
23913s	matches today this has been such an
23914s	insane day with Incredible matches I
23917s	really liked uh we've had a couple ones
23919s	that have come down like to that last
23920s	wire I mean I love the Odin's call match
23922s	that was awesome like
23923s	literally you didn't know where it was
23925s	going to go until maybe the last minute
23927s	and not in a way where you're like well
23929s	they could come back it's like no you
23930s	actually did not know which way this is
23932s	going to go uh the truth honor light
23934s	match versus tuskers was awesome
23936s	um just because I was talking about it
23938s	earlier and the last time the tuskers
23940s	fought them when they were under Hydra
23942s	they actually did the same kind of like
23944s	we're gonna met a super hard
23946s	specifically against this team this time
23948s	it worked last time it didn't so that
23949s	was really cool liked both of those and
23951s	uh
23952s	yeah those are my two highlights so far
23954s	I'm a big fan of the reverse tie-dye
23956s	match as well uh it's been so many years
23958s	I was talking with CCP Swift and we we
23960s	couldn't figure out exactly when it last
23962s	was and I think gentan you suggested it
23964s	was probably when we had uh the bomber
23966s	Tinker year uh it was probably when it
23968s	last was now let's have our quick
23970s	predictions uh before we head over to
23971s	the arena Blackberry pirate who do we
23973s	think between Telstra school and
23974s	platinum Sensitivity I think I'm gonna
23975s	go with tuskers this time
23977s	argentan uh I've got I've got hope for
23980s	my boy Mark Bridges you know Misty's not
23983s	on the desk so I've got to sing his
23984s	Praises for him well I mean after the
23986s	way we saw vld fly that Flagship
23988s	progressed earlier on I'm gonna have to
23989s	put my channel points behind the Tasker
23991s	school but let's head over here and find
23993s	out let's go
23999s	welcome back to the arena my name is
24001s	tirvana I'm joined by moderator and we
24003s	are into our final two elimination
24006s	matches of the day winner of this will
24009s	be top four and go into the lower
24012s	bracket semifinals starting off
24014s	tomorrow's stream on the red side it is
24017s	the tuskers once again Fielding their
24019s	Flagship Burgess comp uh with a
24021s	Nighthawk at Claymore and uh an augur
24024s	which means uh they are playing can't
24027s	touch this with the mids
24030s	yeah and they might have gotten that
24032s	right it's going to be difficult for
24034s	platinum sensitivity with what they've
24036s	brought to really get any sort of tackle
24038s	on the auger
24039s	um we see that the Deacon band may be
24042s	actually fairly effective here as uh we
24045s	now see that
24046s	there are two thalias being forced to be
24049s	brought by a platinum sensitivity so
24051s	it's going to cost a bit more points and
24054s	um volley is not quite as tanky as a
24056s	deacon
24057s	yep and as I have liked to call this
24061s	competence hammer time from The tuskers
24063s	Shield ships fit with armor and all the
24066s	e-war mids Platinum sensitivity they got
24069s	their work cut out for them but they do
24070s	have a widow which has been very useful
24072s	for them through their lower bracket run
24074s	Mark Bridges and The Vindicator has been
24076s	able to bait people uh in previous
24078s	matches but tuskers are a different
24080s	breed and they want to continue some at
24083s	success that they've perhaps been
24085s	locking the last couple years moving
24087s	into this meanwhile Platinum sensitivity
24089s	I just want to make it into the top four
24092s	yeah this is going to be you know an
24095s	incredibly Deep Run for platinum
24096s	sensitivity and uh better than they've
24100s	done in the past that they're you know
24101s	relatively new up and coming uh Team
24105s	Japanese uh Community
24108s	um going deeper than they've ever really
24110s	done before deeper than some of the
24112s	other International communities like say
24113s	the German or Russian teams
24117s	and I think this is really the time for
24119s	tuskers like you were discussing
24121s	to bring their bar guest it did well
24124s	against Hydra I think it will do well
24125s	against this armor comp of platinum
24127s	sensitivity
24129s	dozen we'll get to see another flag bar
24131s	guest kill and see how
24133s	to this flag Vargas is from tuskers I'm
24136s	expecting uh some very blingy modules
24139s	some purple launchers uh among others so
24142s	the match is now underway and both teams
24145s	starting to cut a little bit but
24147s	Platinum sensitivity is going to be the
24148s	one that's burning in towards the
24150s	tuskers as the bar guest flag bar
24152s	against the vld will say in the front of
24154s	his team plays front line as he is the
24156s	slowest of his team ships
24158s	yeah we're starting to see the e-ore get
24161s	applied to The Vindicator and the
24162s	abandoned tracking guidance to the Widow
24164s	and to the Nighthawk into the bargift
24166s	that makes a lot of sense given that we
24168s	see the Moa and uh the stork The Shield
24171s	you know ships being brought into an
24173s	armor comp using mids for e-war here uh
24176s	at the low Point cost the megas will be
24178s	primary to try to get rid of any sort of
24180s	links off the Jump
24182s	but the links are staying alive for the
24185s	time being this Magus got dual Thalia
24188s	reps
24189s	extra points on the Dual Thunder two
24191s	extra points having to uh move into that
24194s	uh armor MOA which will be fairly
24196s	squishy with a number of low slots it
24198s	has it is now being primaried and should
24200s	be able to be taken off the field pretty
24202s	quickly by this rapid heavy bar guest
24205s	yeah Randolph Sykes is taking some
24207s	damage uh in his crore from drones but
24209s	the real story here is the Moa
24212s	um is taking all of the missile damage
24214s	and it's only got a fourth slot tank
24217s	um in those low slots and
24219s	I the Bargas still has enough rapid
24222s	Heavies it might break through it
24223s	between that and the Claymore Nighthawk
24226s	yeah a little bizarre now down in to 20
24230s	armor remaining and he is getting broken
24232s	through these revs but now a visual
24234s	Fleet issue of Stew getting some drone
24236s	damage on top of it as well I mean this
24238s	kite set up from the tuskers they used
24240s	it to some effect uh earlier well as you
24243s	mentioned up against truth on her light
24244s	knock them down in lower bracket uh
24246s	Platinum sensitivity though they brought
24248s	a brawl to a kite game and they still
24250s	haven't lost any ships this mode is
24252s	actually now repping up through I think
24254s	the clip ran out for vld
24257s	um just looking at vlv morome uh Vargas
24260s	continuing to apply missiles but
24263s	probably not for too much longer
24265s	um some damage going on to the Thalia of
24267s	FNG and and MOA should get fully wrapped
24272s	up here in the meantime while the bar
24274s	guest is on that 40 second clip
24278s	no blood in the first two minutes of the
24282s	match
24283s	and uh Platinum sensitivity they just
24285s	need one kill we'll see if they can get
24287s	it this Mega savosot will be at least
24289s	the primary for the Claymore and the
24291s	Nighthawk and the other HML ships on the
24293s	team while the bar guest is reloading
24295s	how's that taking low but now a lot of
24298s	these missiles not hitting their marks
24303s	yeah I mean that's just going to be the
24305s	effect of guidance disruption is it not
24308s	only makes your missiles um less
24310s	effective when they do hit it also
24311s	shortens the flight time such that
24314s	um it makes your Missile Range
24317s	significantly shorter uh much like how
24319s	tracking disruption makes your optimal
24322s	worse but it can also make your tracking
24325s	speed even more so you don't even hit it
24327s	um
24328s	right now we're just seeing that Mark
24330s	Bridges team but the Vindicator is
24332s	trying to go
24333s	um a little bit above the toaster of cow
24337s	now they are staying within range of
24339s	their logic frigates and they are or no
24341s	logic figures of their auger and they're
24343s	keeping them alive now the Magus is the
24345s	primary from the tuskers they've hit the
24347s	reload on the bar guest and they're
24349s	gonna try to take this links off the
24350s	field get the long or get the web links
24352s	away from that Vindicator because that
24354s	is so important uh The Vindicator did
24356s	get actually drive by webbed earlier by
24358s	the vigil Fleet of Stu Miner who stayed
24361s	alive osato will be able to rep through
24363s	this HML damage which don't really apply
24365s	all that well to armor uh destroyers and
24368s	now looks like this abaddin might be the
24371s	target from uh the tuskers
24374s	yeah that a badon
24377s	um is going to be kind of leading the
24379s	charge right now along with the
24381s	Vindicator The Vindicator we do see long
24383s	range webs that's going to be Randolph
24384s	Sykes doing drive-bys in the crew or on
24387s	the crew we don't really think of it you
24389s	know in the same way as a high note but
24390s	it is still
24391s	um that bonus rain ship and then it's
24394s	you know just pulling away
24396s	um when it realizes it might be in
24398s	Danger trying to buy time as the mo is
24401s	still back into low armor
24404s	we'll see if they'll be able to take out
24405s	little bizarre you only need to kill one
24407s	ship uh to win if no other ships die
24410s	and we'll see if tuskers are able to do
24413s	that they do so they finally kill
24414s	someone with that rapid heavy clip of
24416s	vld but still lots of action and by
24420s	action I mean lots of poking and
24421s	prodding but no deaths quite yet this
24423s	Pawn effects uh got a good chunk of a
24426s	shield taken out of him but not a whole
24428s	lot left uh from Platinum sensitivity in
24430s	terms of damage on top of them
24433s	yep we can see these scrams flickering
24435s	off and on of the Baton and Vindicator
24438s	at times that's going to be the bonus
24440s	scram from BLD murome
24443s	um one of the benefits of that Flagship
24445s	is that you get those officer or high
24447s	tier faction scrams and heated you have
24449s	no trouble with links hitting close to
24451s	40 kilometers
24453s	yep Skirmish links on that Claymore
24455s	very very nice to have when you have a
24459s	bar guest either way some more damage
24461s	going on with this Magus of osat some
24463s	damage onto heinkel and the abaddin as
24465s	well split DPS but I was sat now going
24468s	into low armor and he's finally taken
24469s	off the field so
24471s	links off the field from Platinum
24474s	sensitivity this is dire for them now
24477s	yeah they still have ayaka aruta's um
24480s	pontifex but you know who knows how they
24482s	distributed the links between the two
24484s	um when those links do eventually wear
24486s	off in the next minute or so it's going
24488s	to make the Pont effects and the belly
24489s	is just that much easier to kill and
24492s	speaking of easy to kill the sky breaker
24493s	if Nicks goes down
24495s	one more kill in the tusker's cap they
24498s	still haven't lost anyone as their e-war
24500s	mids have just been so effective and
24502s	their kiting has been so effective they
24504s	haven't been caught at all on any of
24506s	these ships this bar guest of vld doing
24509s	the screen that he needs to do to make
24510s	sure the rest of his team can stay away
24513s	from the Platinum sensitivity
24517s	this is almost comical from veal di
24519s	morome he's just like holding out his
24520s	arm with the scram against this
24523s	Vindicator of Mark Bridges just holding
24525s	him away being like haha you can't touch
24528s	me it really is Hammer Time the font
24530s	effect is trying to close range get on
24533s	top of something uh but it looks like
24535s	he's now been webbed by the crew of
24538s	either Stu minor or the
24540s	leadership
24543s	yep now the pawn effects very slow can't
24546s	get away he's got info Links at the very
24548s	least but uh info links are only so
24551s	useful when you have a ship that needs
24554s	web range it's got damaged drones now on
24556s	top of them uh you see the Drone Cloud
24558s	now swarming as uh nosuko and the
24561s	crucifier is taking damage from I
24562s	believe hmls at the moment no that was
24564s	drone Cloud as well and both the pot
24566s	effects and the uh what was that the
24570s	crucifier got taken down very quickly
24574s	and I almost hate to say this for
24576s	platinum sensitivity it's just that
24577s	they're uh their attack bar has been
24579s	close to nil the entire match and now
24581s	that
24583s	um all of these other support ships have
24585s	dropped toughest is able to concentrate
24587s	all of their ewar uh mid slots and those
24591s	Target painters that NOS onto all of
24593s	platinum sensitivity and it's
24595s	snowballing look how fast Le quartus in
24597s	the Widow is dropping with no links the
24599s	thalias just can't keep up
24601s	yeah Kent larkis I mean he's in a widow
24603s	not a super tanky ship if you uh fit it
24606s	with armor yeah you got Shield resist
24607s	bonuses but that's not really helpful
24608s	he's now in to structure and should end
24611s	up falling it's all but over and the
24614s	tuskers co will move on to be a top four
24616s	team playing tomorrow sorry a top uh six
24621s	team top four top four team uh playing
24624s	tomorrow
24626s	yeah I mean you're surviving to the
24629s	final day that's always kind of the goal
24631s	tuskers
24632s	um
24633s	in recent memory they've had somewhat
24636s	unfortunate bracket positions they've
24638s	lost some of their team members uh to
24641s	hydro reloaded or just to inactivity and
24644s	now they're really coming back into the
24646s	form that they were at in Alliance
24649s	tournament 14 when they beat pandemic
24651s	lesion to win that for the first time
24654s	ever and really showing that they do
24656s	truly belong with the elites of the
24658s	elite
24659s	and they will face the winner of lock
24661s	range enjoyers versus truth honor light
24663s	lock range enjoyers the winner of last
24664s	year or of this year's anger games truth
24667s	honor light the winner of last year's a
24669s	t that's going to be an exciting match
24671s	hopefully we're gonna have Baza back on
24673s	in time for that he is fixing some tough
24675s	and hold difficulties that are
24677s	preventing him from joining we have a
24678s	minute left in this match moderator
24679s	anything else you'd like to say
24683s	yeah
24684s	um I like Mark Bridges he's a good guy
24686s	I'm glad to see that they
24688s	um made as deep a run as they did I
24690s	won't take anything away from a top six
24692s	performance that's better than I think
24695s	um
24695s	anyone when we were doing these
24698s	prediction shows thought they would do
24699s	uh right now both teams good fighting
24701s	and local as only in the abatin and
24704s	Vindicator remain on grid for platinum
24707s	yep yeah two battleships but uh I mean
24711s	they've just been kept at arm's length
24712s	unless you were makes them and if they
24714s	are not at Arts length uh pretty much
24717s	useless 20 seconds left in the match now
24720s	and GFS have already been called in
24722s	local I mean it's a nice run for
24724s	platinum sensitivity uh constantly
24726s	getting better and better as tournament
24727s	season progresses we saw them in the AG
24729s	as cutting a niche on actually make a
24731s	pretty deep run there as well so I'm
24734s	excited to see what else comes from the
24736s	steam what else comes from the Japanese
24737s	Community as uh they are a very small
24740s	number of players for Eve online
24743s	yeah and coming in top six again they
24746s	will get eight of each the Gary and the
24748s	best deal the prize ship from the
24750s	minmatar Republic who's sponsoring this
24752s	event
24753s	um but that's all for myself and fears
24756s	we send it back to the desk
24760s	[Music]
24781s	guys stop being casual they're really
24783s	bad we should not lose anybody to this
24786s	warp off warp off take the fleet warp
24788s	everybody warp off this is a really
24789s	really bad execution I'm very
24791s	disappointed
24795s	another great hall back from Omar damn
24798s	I'm thirsty
24804s	that hits the spot
24817s	Yeah we actually lost a bet as CCP
24820s	collectively so that's why that Alliance
24822s	logo is in the game of course you could
24824s	change your alliance by leaving but that
24826s	would be kind of a jerk move that kind
24828s	of oh you don't like it now guys sucks
24830s	I'm gonna go join
24846s	the tusker's coat with the solid victory
24848s	over uh Platinum sensitivity in a very
24851s	hard fault match in order to pull out
24853s	Victory out I do think that if uh
24855s	Platinum sensitivity had that Flagship
24857s	Vindicator it would have been maybe
24858s	something that made the difference we
24860s	saw we went almost five minutes with
24861s	only only one ship going down just a
24864s	match all about positioning and control
24866s	and just waiting till the right moment
24867s	to strike as a unit rather than you know
24869s	sort of just running in or running out
24871s	the arena very very uh top end piloting
24874s	from from all those players uh black
24876s	part pirate we noticed that the crew and
24878s	the vigil Fleet issue seem to be driving
24880s	in
24881s	hang with a web and then getting out of
24882s	there what's going on uh yeah so they
24884s	were they were going into slow the ships
24886s	down um specifically they would fly in
24889s	and put a web on it and then the target
24890s	painters would swap from tuscars onto
24893s	the Target that was recently webbed and
24894s	they try and blow it up and uh it's
24896s	pretty dangerous move to do especially
24898s	when you're in a setup like tuskers was
24900s	which is a very slow burn setup and by
24904s	doing so you slow your target down
24906s	enough that your missiles start applying
24907s	a lot harder um I think genton made a
24910s	comment you slow down and Eve way faster
24912s	than you speed up most of the time so
24913s	just coming in and webbing for a couple
24915s	seconds and then flying away with those
24916s	uh longer range bonus webs which like we
24919s	see on occur which I think that's the
24921s	first time we've seen one it can be
24922s	really effective and sort of to uh to go
24925s	off that I think you're right if they
24927s	had had the flagship Vindicator there's
24929s	a few times where I saw the visual Fleet
24930s	issue get within about
24932s	20 to 15 at The Vindicator
24934s	would have been able to grab it with
24935s	those 90 webs because they didn't it was
24938s	safe to just be an amazing pilot and not
24940s	have to worry about any of the uh maybe
24942s	slightly more toxic mechanics of you
24943s	online
24944s	don't we see more occurs it's very
24947s	unusual ship in the last tournament
24949s	um yeah we've only ever really seen them
24951s	used heavily when they've been
24952s	discounted in points they are relatively
24954s	effective they have a lot of things that
24957s	we normally do quite value quite heavily
24959s	in the alliance tournament obviously
24960s	they have a web range bonus they have a
24962s	neutralizer bonus the problem is really
24964s	just where they sit at in terms of
24966s	points they are four points so that's
24968s	the same cost as an assault frigate
24969s	which can do much the same sort of role
24973s	of tackling something or holding
24974s	something down but we're in a more
24977s	durable shell and with um and in a way
24981s	that's easier to actually use you know
24983s	it doesn't take as much skill to fly a
24985s	Jaguar hit approach F1 scram web and
24988s	then slam on that ADC a second you get
24990s	shot flying a crew or normally requires
24992s	a lot of skill and it requires a very
24995s	careful setup around it you know you
24996s	need your Logistics to really be on the
24998s	ball to have you know three four small
25000s	reps so that you can keep your tiny
25002s	little buffer topped up whilst you're
25005s	going in and using those Maneuvers uh
25008s	it's something that we'll probably see
25009s	used a little more as we get to this end
25011s	game especially if this tuskers comp
25013s	kind of catches on uh you know we do
25015s	have a day before the final uh weekend
25017s	uh sorry the final day of matches and
25019s	I'm sure these teams will be screaming
25021s	throughout the night trying to figure
25022s	out how their opponent's comps work and
25025s	uh trying to find ways to defeat them
25027s	yeah speaking of that um we uh started
25030s	today with 18 teams uh competing to win
25034s	Alliance tournament 18. right now we are
25036s	down to five just five teams remaining
25038s	um tomorrow we will see our top four go
25041s	up against each other to see who can be
25043s	the grand Champions and those top four
25046s	will be Volta Odin's call the tuscress
25049s	court and the winner of our upcoming
25050s	match lock range enjoyers versus truth
25052s	honor light so this again is an
25054s	elimination match we are in the
25055s	elimination bracket the winner of this
25056s	will go forward to live one more day
25059s	um and try and compete to get into that
25061s	Grand Final lock range enjoy is here
25063s	banging out the Osprey Navy issue the
25065s	EOS and the Osprey whereas truth on a
25067s	light Banning out the Nighthawk the
25069s	executor Navy issue and the scalpel
25071s	black power what do you make of this
25073s	I think that uh the especially on the
25075s	truth on our Light Side we've seen
25076s	Locker Engineers win a lot with this
25079s	executive setup that they've been doing
25081s	uh now they can't do it and I think that
25082s	executive navies are actually a ship
25084s	that there isn't really
25086s	an equivalency for
25088s	um which you'll see a lot in these is
25089s	that you know like if you ban the Osprey
25091s	Navy out people can bring like a caracal
25093s	Navy if you ban uh if you ban a no set
25096s	you could bring a guardian I don't
25097s	personally think that there is an
25099s	equivalent of the executive Navy so
25101s	truth on her light is saying hey we
25102s	don't want to deal with that three times
25104s	executor Navy ship which is kind of
25106s	pretty cool and interesting and jintan
25108s	what do you make of the scalpel ban yeah
25110s	that's a that's a really curious one I
25113s	don't know uh if I'm gonna be perfectly
25114s	honest we haven't seen a huge
25116s	predilection of them in this tournament
25118s	and when we have it's mostly been in
25120s	Rush setups uh that said maybe they were
25122s	just trying to make that a little weaker
25124s	uh and especially with luck range
25126s	enjoyers Banning that out that's pretty
25127s	much taking that off the table unless
25129s	they want to run some sort of weird
25131s	Scimitar based Rush which normally isn't
25133s	going to work because you don't have the
25134s	points then to dedicate into that top
25136s	end DPS
25138s	awesome and uh what what are you
25140s	expecting in this match bar like to see
25142s	these teams feel do you've experienced a
25144s	bunch of matches with uh with both of
25145s	them now
25146s	um you know give me your give me your
25147s	thoughts uh so normally if the executive
25150s	wasn't banned I would kind of expect
25152s	Locker Engineers to sort of fall back
25153s	and be like okay we've won with this
25155s	several times and we lost last time we
25157s	didn't use it let's go back to the tried
25158s	and true um but it is banned so uh I do
25162s	believe that these two are uh relatively
25165s	interconnected in regards to being
25167s	practice Partners
25169s	um spoiler alert probably gonna get
25170s	pinged like what the hell uh so when
25174s	that happens you have absolutely no idea
25177s	um we've talked about Band Theory and
25179s	that a lot and honestly being practice
25181s	Partners does not help you it makes it
25183s	way way worse to go up against each
25184s	other so
25186s	I'm gonna say I have no idea we're going
25187s	to find out what they do when they put
25189s	it on grid and it's probably going to be
25190s	weird
25191s	yeah practice Partners going up against
25192s	each other you have that situation where
25194s	you know that team super well you know
25196s	what they like to do you know what
25196s	they're strong at and you've worked with
25198s	them to develop that meta so you know do
25201s	you just bring something you think that
25203s	you personally as a team are like
25204s	incredibly executing or do you try and
25206s	count to them gentan like what's the
25208s	captain's thought process usually in
25209s	these well actually Bay RJ the producer
25212s	of this stream was telling me a really
25213s	interesting story about something he ran
25215s	into when he was uh apart when he was
25218s	playing in the alliance tournament where
25220s	they'd practiced a matchup between their
25222s	practice Partners you know 10 12 times
25224s	they kind of knew the ins and outs of
25226s	how everything worked kind of what they
25228s	needed to do and they'd found that it
25229s	was something that was very advantaged
25231s	in their opponent's favor and then when
25232s	they saw the bands come in on the day
25234s	they thought okay well we think we know
25236s	what they're going to bring let's just
25237s	put take away all the tackle modules on
25240s	our tackle replace them with damps and
25242s	we'll crush them and then they did that
25243s	and their practice Partners were very
25245s	salty about it so it'll be interesting
25247s	to see if any team sort of attempts
25249s	something like that and uh what the
25251s	outcome of that might be diplomatically
25253s	which I think is always fun there's
25254s	always drama Behind These matches that
25256s	unfortunately we don't get to see very
25257s	much on the desk yeah before we go to
25260s	our last match of the day trying to take
25261s	a moment to shout out the people down at
25263s	the eve London watch party right now uh
25266s	they are in the Oyster shed in London
25268s	and they're watching us on on the big TV
25270s	hello
25271s	um I hope you guys having a great time
25273s	it is uh 20 to 10. I'm sure you've been
25275s	having a great time for many hours now
25277s	um and then yeah I hope you continue to
25278s	have a great time in this last match so
25280s	we're going to go to the arena now for a
25282s	lock range enjoyers versus truth honor
25284s	light
25289s	welcome back to the arena my name is
25291s	firvana joined by the Basilisk and on
25294s	the red side it is lock range enjoyers
25296s	and what have they brought it is a flag
25299s	Vindicator and a widow for the ultimate
25302s	in Ardmore control and uh I have to ask
25305s	you Baza what have
25307s	two thunder light brought so truth on
25309s	the way AKA Justice League spearheaded
25312s	by Dexter AKA it's the openman in that
25315s	Flagship Bargas they've brought a
25316s	slightly strange wonky armor comp but I
25319s	mean I say wonky I'm sure it's
25320s	exceptionally gonna pull me
25321s	exceptionally well here two rapid heavy
25323s	battle two rapid heavy missile
25325s	battleships here the Armageddon Navy and
25327s	the bogus I remember they flew a comp
25329s	early with ball guest
25330s	um authoris and something else which I
25332s	thought was pretty low in damage but
25333s	they actually managed to make the picks
25334s	they needed and make those critical sort
25335s	of kills and get a win on points there
25337s	so I think they're going to be similarly
25338s	slow here it's going to be about finding
25340s	the targets they can actually kill and
25341s	God
25342s	Oodles of control in the low end
25344s	gentleman's agreement was made in local
25346s	not to shoot any Flagship wrecks uh
25349s	we'll see if that holds true
25351s	tons of teams are underway one team
25353s	wants to brawl the other team wants to
25355s	kite and in the middle we have the a t
25360s	or I should say it's it's it's actually
25362s	just a bunch of opooks Dragoon Yachts
25365s	that are cloaked up and uh observing
25367s	what's going on and some Polaris
25369s	frigates
25371s	we've got a Confessor on one side of
25374s	Amelia dusk space and uh sort of
25376s	conversely on the other side the stipple
25377s	of damasis Kadesh obviously two very
25379s	well-known Pilots two very big names in
25380s	The Alliance tournament scene and
25382s	they're the sort of leading the charges
25383s	or say leading the charging the team's
25385s	really charging in here but they're the
25386s	the front line at the moment for their
25387s	team but they're just sort of no real
25389s	damage going across this sort of control
25390s	War at the moment
25391s	yeah uh not real damage there are a
25394s	bunch of uh jams going out and some
25397s	tracking and missile disruption but
25399s	otherwise not real damage no one's
25401s	really
25402s	done anything this is just a poking and
25404s	product match this is just like the
25405s	armor control matchups we've seen
25407s	previously what is going on here
25410s	yeah and I saw something in the in the
25412s	even line disco the other day discussing
25414s	some of the matches about how one of the
25415s	I believe it was one of the Hydra
25417s	members sorry truth on the light Justice
25418s	League whatever saying oh you know these
25420s	armor control comps they just sit around
25421s	for seven minutes before the battle
25422s	starts we'll go on then get on with it
25425s	get on with it yes exactly uh we do see
25428s	this Armageddon Navy issue of Nick
25429s	burning in a little bit maybe trying to
25431s	force an over extension uh Confessor of
25434s	Amelia also doing the same burning
25436s	towards uh looks like this spiffle at
25438s	the moment or maybe the Sentinel from
25440s	the side of lock range enjoyers remember
25443s	one of these teams is going to get
25444s	eliminated and they are the last two
25446s	tournament winners uh for the game so
25450s	really excited to see who actually comes
25452s	out on top but now the Magus gets
25454s	volleyed by truth honor light and that's
25457s	the power of those two rapid heavy heavy
25458s	missiles I can't say that anymore those
25460s	two rapid heavy missile battleships here
25461s	they can pick a Target and when there's
25463s	a window where they're both unjammed of
25464s	course the fantasy UI shows us Jam
25465s	attempts not successful jams and they
25467s	were able to just absolutely frag that
25468s	Magus right off the bat and now we're
25469s	looking at damasus Kardashian the
25470s	stripper as well he's going into mid
25472s	armor
25473s	yeah the push forward and the pull back
25475s	working out well for truth honor light
25477s	and they only need one kill if they're
25478s	in the kite setup the Damascus to dash
25481s	though uh is now in uh defensive mode
25484s	and has the extra armor resists in the
25486s	uh Shield or not Shield resists uh the
25489s	uh
25491s	um
25494s	I was trying to look for Sig radius
25496s	there sorry about that it has been a
25498s	long day The Sentinel ajao Yi also
25501s	taking a bit of damage at the moment but
25502s	uh not a whole lot left and just like
25505s	that the teams are staring each other
25506s	down once again
25508s	yeah but as you said truth on the light
25510s	scoring first blood in this match and I
25512s	think you know we've seen Lockridge
25513s	enjoys bring this comp a couple times
25515s	earlier in the day with the window Widow
25516s	and The Vindicator but I think every
25518s	time they've brought it they've been in
25520s	a position where the enemy has pushed
25521s	into them and this is now a situation
25523s	where they're behind on points they need
25524s	to make something happen they've got
25525s	this Vindicator they want to use it and
25527s	obviously truth on a light are not going
25528s	to come into them so a lot range of
25530s	noise need to be the ones pushing
25531s	forward here and it's a totally
25532s	different Dynamic for a comp whether
25534s	you're sort of pulling back kiting away
25536s	from opponent who's pushing into or
25537s	whether you need to be the ones going
25538s	aggressive and at the moment the
25539s	pressure is on lock range enjoys to be
25541s	going aggressive
25542s	and they need to find something that
25545s	scary is playing forward at the moment
25546s	uh doesn't really have a jackdaw on the
25548s	enemy team but uh to uh deal with at the
25552s	moment but he does have to deal with uh
25554s	dual blackbirds we mentioned this Widow
25556s	but also these dual blackbirds from the
25558s	side of Truth honor light are going to
25560s	be putting out bonus jams as well
25562s	although not uh strength bonus uh just
25565s	in terms of rain shall ye in the
25567s	Sentinel not taking a bit more damage
25569s	but it looks like just drone blob on top
25571s	of them yeah it is just a drone blob and
25573s	as long as tin Baron obviously a very
25575s	competent pilot in his own right is
25576s	going to be able to just deal with that
25577s	no problem at all but it's still just
25579s	poking and prodding we see the Confessor
25580s	of Striker Erica push forward here but
25582s	immediately I believe gets scrammed by
25583s	the flagship bar guest of Dexter and
25585s	that's a very dangerous place for him to
25586s	be there's no getting out of that
25587s	situation he's going to get absolutely
25588s	obliterated here by these missiles
25589s	coming out from the battleships that is
25592s	a very long scram range and Striker uh
25595s	now still scrammed up now the Armageddon
25598s	Navy issue also got some tackle on top
25599s	of him I'm taking a look at the fancy UI
25601s	right now he was scrammed actually by
25603s	that Confessor but now he's broken free
25605s	the spiffle of Damascus Kadesh now
25607s	wanting to get himself to this argument
25609s	getting Navy of Nick domard but we see
25611s	the screen perhaps coming in this
25613s	carries uh might have a scrim on him
25615s	although I doubt it uh look at this
25617s	Vindicator
25619s	in the center of the screen here they
25620s	were just on the left of the screen a
25622s	second ago but now Vindicator from bogus
25623s	these two battleships just sat right on
25624s	top of each other I'm not sure who
25626s	really wants to be in this position
25627s	obviously if you're in a Vindicator you
25628s	think great I'm right on top of the
25629s	bogus but Dexter has a history of
25631s	surviving at very very low HP in these
25632s	Flagship bogus and I think he got here
25634s	of his own accord so maybe he knows
25636s	something that grunt Cato doesn't
25638s	he's got the damage that the Dual rapid
25640s	heavy competent at the moment The
25641s	Vindicator staying in a place we saw the
25644s	one Armageddon Navy maybe get tackled
25646s	earlier on but now he's broken free so
25648s	Nick domard doing just fine Xiao you in
25650s	the Sentinel though is now the primary
25652s	and has actual missile damage on top of
25654s	him at the moment but the Reps keep on
25656s	coming through from tin Baron and the
25658s	guardian yeah and I have to question
25659s	just how powerful that Sentinel is he
25661s	must be very very powerful with only
25663s	really two damage ships on the other
25665s	side the bogus and the Navy gedden if he
25667s	has any guidance disrupted at all he can
25669s	just totally obliterate their
25670s	application here and now we see Dexter
25672s	starting to go into armor here it's
25673s	going to be up to Lucas Quan to keep him
25674s	up but he may get damped he may get
25676s	jammed obviously there's a lot of
25677s	control on both sides it's hard for us
25678s	to tell we've only got the fancy UI
25679s	icons they tell us a lot but they don't
25681s	tell us what's successful they don't
25682s	tell us whether the nearest is actually
25683s	locking
25684s	um you know it's it's this is going to
25686s	be tricky here there's a lot of stuff
25688s	taking damage here the Sentinels taking
25689s	chunks the carries is taking damage
25690s	Dexter still slowly going down here the
25691s	lodgy's working their ass is off here to
25693s	keep everyone alive
25694s	logite MVP for both these teams right
25697s	now Dexter now in to 55 armor he has in
25701s	our nearest on top of him but he still
25702s	has to deal with the flag of Indy they
25704s	do take down the Sentinel finally so
25705s	that frees up uh the missiles from the
25708s	Arvin getting Navy significantly as they
25710s	move on to this carries of Zale he has
25713s	been tanking quite a bit now he's got
25715s	the full rep power of the Guardian
25716s	behind him but he is slowly slowly
25718s	breathing structure right now A Dexter's
25721s	burning away here from this Vindicator
25722s	so I think he must obviously with those
25724s	newts that he's going to have on that
25725s	Flagship August I think he managed to
25727s	cap out the vindi Italian stop his web
25729s	but the web goes back on the ball gets
25730s	just slowing down again but he's already
25731s	caught reps up to philama here and in
25733s	the meanwhile lock range enjoys a slowly
25735s	bleeding ships they lost the Sentinel as
25736s	you said the carries is starting to take
25738s	her grow here as well and I wonder if
25739s	this control from truth or like might be
25741s	too much to bear at this point yeah
25743s	these jams doing work from this Widow
25745s	blue morphism uh trying to get the
25747s	chance he can get but unfortunately he's
25749s	up against two blackbirds and warp out
25751s	and or run to or uh
25754s	orontesty have been able to counter Jam
25757s	this Widow and do the work that they
25760s	need to do to keep the rest of these
25761s	ships off of Truth honor light they are
25764s	now up 16-0 they have three minutes left
25766s	in the match and they're on to Damascus
25767s	Kadesh in this football now
25769s	yeah and as you say those two ACM ships
25771s	jamming each other but the the point
25772s	investment of the Widow and the
25774s	Blackbird let's say they're both
25774s	successful against each other they can
25776s	still lock each other but they can't
25777s	lock anything else but the points
25778s	investment 14 points for these two
25780s	blackbirds from truth on a light 25
25782s	points for lock range enjoys on that
25784s	Widow so the rest of their comp is just
25786s	going to be that much weaker those extra
25787s	10 points not going elsewhere and you
25790s	know the Widow may be neutered here or
25791s	where we do see the ecmi can come off
25792s	him but maybe now he's just being damped
25794s	instead by the carries they feel they
25795s	can keep under control with that and the
25797s	swipple was that the circle that popped
25799s	no it was the Blackbird of jail does go
25800s	down
25801s	yeah both teams brought Blackbird once
25803s	brought two the other brought one and
25805s	unfortunately for lock range enjoyers
25806s	this should be all she wrote for the
25809s	match that blackbird's dead they're
25810s	gonna move on to this Pawn effects now
25812s	of Nora they've got plenty of damage on
25813s	top of them maybe then Tim Baron in the
25815s	guardian who is rapping quite
25818s	effectively onto this Pawn effects uh
25821s	the guardian versus the ineros it's an
25823s	uh age old question which do you bring
25825s	to the a t and it looks like the ineros
25827s	is letting out this particular time as
25830s	the DPS moves on to Tim Baron
25832s	yeah so this was quite slow burn at the
25834s	start but they did eventually kick it
25835s	off but with just two minutes left you
25836s	know I want to sort of talk about some
25838s	of the some of the plays we saw in this
25839s	match I want to call out Dexter
25840s	specifically obviously being entrusted
25843s	with piloting a multi-multi-billion
25845s	flagship I can assure you that bar guest
25847s	on truth on a light is not going to be a
25849s	cheap ship being entrusted with that you
25851s	need to know what you're doing and the
25852s	fact that he burned into that Vindicator
25854s	and said I'm not worried about his
25856s	damage I know I can mute him out before
25857s	he kills me and then was able to pull
25859s	range again and actually catch reps it
25861s	it demonstrates such an intricate and
25864s	in-depth knowledge of the situation it's
25867s	got to be second nature even like a
25868s	language to him and he speaks it so
25870s	fluently and both these teams have been
25873s	extremely potent over the course of
25874s	today and the and last week
25877s	um it's a shame that one of them has to
25878s	go out but it is unfortunately going to
25880s	be lock range enjoys I believe they will
25881s	secure a top six finish with this loss
25884s	and Truth on a light will lock in a top
25886s	four position obviously aiming to
25888s	continue all the way to the final
25889s	tomorrow
25890s	now they will be facing the tuskers Co
25892s	in the first match of the day it is the
25895s	only b01 tomorrow the only best of one
25897s	will be truth honor life versus the
25899s	tuskers co and then we will have two
25901s	best of Threes in the upper bracket
25903s	finals and the lower bracket finals
25904s	followed by a b05 for the grand finals
25909s	Baza and I will be casting that
25911s	particular match and I'm excited for it
25913s	tomorrow anything else you want to say
25915s	for these last 30 seconds of the match
25916s	before we hand it back to the desk I'm
25918s	just gonna get another shout out to Nick
