147s	bands but sensal and crucify still in so
150s	they can bring some tracking disruptors
151s	or gance disruptors if they want to uh
153s	thankfully we're not going to be seeing
154s	three Armageddon Navy issues my personal
156s	favorite or least favorite thing um yeah
158s	I mean pretty standard bands again um I
160s	don't think there are there's anything
162s	here that we haven't seen in other days
163s	so far yep and black bar Pirates your
165s	thoughts yeah what do you just said
167s	excellent yeah quality thoughts quality
169s	thoughts so many of them I am I am
170s	surrounded by
171s	thoughts oh no C somewhere not like oh
176s	oh well that didn't take very long all
178s	right well I mean let's just get started
180s	like we have four teams remaining we
181s	need to whittle that down to just one by
183s	the end of today this is going to be
185s	some exciting matches some of the best
186s	teams remaining in the tournament are
188s	ready to compete for that number one top
190s	slot so let's go to the first match of
192s	the day in the
195s	arena welcome to the arena guys he
197s	caught us a little bit too early poor
199s	fears running back in but welcome to the
201s	final day and already I'm bloody excited
203s	because the first ship I saw on fancy UI
205s	they brought a Vindicator and I'm
206s	waiting to see is this a flag vindy or a
208s	regular vindy well their flagship is a
210s	Vindicator Platinum sensitivities is a
212s	balore and I expect both these teams to
215s	have prop Flags so we're checking local
216s	chat right now they haven't said yet and
219s	I'm hoping that please if this is vindy
221s	It's a wild comp vindy double abidon
222s	comp is very brutal but however the NES
225s	from the Balor is going to make all
226s	three ships rather unhappy well that and
229s	there we go FL both and Mark Bridges the
232s	indestructible Mark bridges in the Bal
234s	gor versus uh what's his name debug in a
236s	Vindicator yeah the uh the captains and
239s	Flagship Pilots ping it out of course on
242s	the blue side Platinum sensitivity
243s	they've brought uh some control double
245s	Sentinel B gor and Fleet Tempest they
246s	have a little bit less DPS overall uh
249s	compared to the red side where could
251s	cancel sub but they have a little bit
252s	more control as we see that control bar
254s	about twice as big and a lot of that is
257s	uh this carries alongside the double
259s	Sentinels and of course uh they still
261s	got quite a bit of DPS in that jogger in
262s	the fleet Tempest uh they won with this
264s	comp yesterday um and I believe this is
268s	similar to previous showing of flagship
270s	from Rage Quit cancel sub uh don't quote
272s	me on that I might have the comp
273s	slightly confused but either way uh
276s	double crucifier versus double Sentinel
278s	uh we're about ready to go I'm excited
281s	oh yeah it's going to be interesting to
282s	see how this goes there going to be a
283s	lot of control from both sides as I said
284s	double crucifier is going to make the B
286s	tempus unhappy but the double sent is
287s	going to make all the battleships
288s	unhappy so we're going to have to see
290s	how this match starts off as everyone
291s	just immediately starts getting probably
293s	track and disrupted too hell yeah it's
295s	uh web out already in the vind look at
297s	that immediate web on the vindy you are
298s	not allowed to move sir track on all
301s	three battleships they have all been
302s	disrupted down which is more painful for
304s	the abdons than the vindicat vindicate
305s	doesn't really care abdon does like to
307s	project and being reduced really does
309s	suck yeah and it's a kite back from
311s	Platinum sensitivity uh they're kinding
313s	back with that Bal Gorn trying to get
315s	everything uh ready and set up because
317s	you don't want to get under the uh guns
319s	of that Vindicator uh I mean if you do
321s	you have two Sentinels so lots of track
322s	and disruption uh can stop The
324s	Vindicator from actually shooting and as
325s	you a battleship at that point there's a
327s	point where you can Trac up all you want
329s	their blasters doesn't really matter
330s	they can just sit at zero
332s	we there is like a saturation point on
335s	there's not so so much you can do but
336s	either way the palor NES can definitely
338s	help turning off that vindicator's guns
340s	and keep an eye on the balon's web again
342s	Vindicator that Bon webs him again slows
344s	them down they this balun Mark bridg is
345s	going to play constantly just webbing
347s	down all three bow ships repeatedly it's
349s	going to be really really annoying for
350s	the B pilot but at the moment not seeing
352s	much in the way of damage yet no we have
355s	not uh in fact seen much damage at all
357s	the attack bar pretty anemic terms there
360s	we go we we're seeing some red in the
361s	attack bar now so uh some damage being
363s	put down across both these teams the
365s	fleet Tempest taking some pot shots
366s	while one of these Abbas LLY artson has
368s	been taken some pot shots actually the
370s	fleet Tempest is web down right now not
372s	quite sure that's the Vindicator on top
375s	uh Vindicator also gra that's I think
377s	that's a grapple from both abdons
379s	actually okay so longrange grapple not
381s	going to be nearly as punishing as The
383s	Vindicator webs as we see debug in The
384s	Vindicator very far back compared to
386s	those Abbas who are kind of front
388s	lighting as debug now burning in trying
390s	to find his way uh into this fight in an
392s	effective manner this track and
393s	disruption and now NES on both these
395s	Abbas so uh really Platinum sensitivity
398s	trying to use that control bar to their
399s	advantage we see it's already about two3
401s	full abidon pulling back the abidon of
403s	Lily Austin is actually pulling back to
404s	his team and looks like the other abon's
406s	about to do the same I no he's kind of
409s	doing that's weird I would expect him to
410s	keep pushing but they are deciding no no
412s	Okay this not going to work let's pull
413s	back interesting yeah honestly actually
416s	we see Lily arson start to burn in a
418s	little bit more as well uh this Fleet
420s	Tempest is really difficult to actually
422s	get uh much damage onto him at all when
424s	you're tracking toered by two Sentinels
426s	we do not know um exactly how these
428s	Sentinels are fit they could uh just
430s	have the three tracking disruptions that
431s	we see but we don't see multiple
433s	tracking disruptions uh applied to the
435s	same ship uh with the fancy UI so for
438s	all we know there could be even more
439s	trackon disruption and these Abbas might
440s	not be able to actually hit anything
442s	even with long range ammo you see this
443s	Fleet Tempest has been uh pretty much
445s	untouched in terms of the armor belt
447s	it's going to be interesting to watch
448s	like I have double check is there point
450s	there no okay there's no singular point
451s	so this could be a match that goes into
453s	reverse TI unless something rapidly
455s	changes they tried to shoot a a Punisher
456s	but pretty tanky ship someone need to
459s	get like a quick snipe on a frig
460s	somewhere just just delete something
461s	small and the moment that happens his
462s	match changes otherwise it's a slow
464s	grind as both teams are just being
466s	absolutely controlled by the opposing
467s	teams yeah those officer webs really
469s	just keeping the Val gor at Bay debug
471s	trying to boat in as fast as he can but
473s	unfortunately even though it's not the
475s	same as a Vindicator 90% web it still
477s	has a long range and you still are
478s	webbed only going about 300 m/ second
480s	Vindicator right now the key is that
481s	you're webbing them and you're not being
482s	webbed back which means you get all the
484s	time in the world it brings The
485s	Vindicator from like, or 12200 to like
488s	two 300 as you can see he's the man
490s	can't crack 300 at the moment yeah these
491s	double crucifiers though got some
493s	trackon disruption on of the spell Fleet
494s	Tempest we seeing the dragon disruption
496s	fall in and out as uh the crucifiers are
499s	being damped by this carries the plant I
503s	think actually by the way a potential
504s	key Point here which I haven't said yet
506s	the carries the carries at one moment
508s	could turn off both crucifiers and give
510s	their ships full tracking for a moment
512s	and we saw for a moment that the megas
514s	was getting hit but he's now solidified
516s	so keep an eye out in the damps that
517s	carries needs to bounce those DS around
519s	find the right target at the right time
520s	but we have a scram on the abdon hold on
522s	a minute scram web on the Abba in fact
524s	Arena Ary Platinum sensitivity doesn't
526s	really have a whole lot of Target too
527s	from okay all right here we go here's
529s	the BR then Tempest Fleet is now locked
530s	down by the abidon the other abon's
532s	going to be on the way The Vindicator
533s	will be on the way that Tempest being
535s	caught maybe it was a plan thing but I
537s	am worried for that team now cuz that's
538s	now three close range aggressive Bou
541s	about to be at zero well the ABBA is
543s	Being Ned and nosed out
545s	so the the the pulse lasers uh can
549s	potentially be turned off this
550s	Vindicator still uh not quite in the
552s	fight quite yet we see debug slowly
554s	slowly burning in but Mark Bridges is
556s	actually burning into the fight as well
557s	trying to get his Nudes on these abas
559s	and maybe free up the Tempest Fleet
561s	before The Vindicator arrives I had a
562s	quick check as well that is definitely a
564s	gun bone as well he has he has guns not
566s	full n so this is going to be a very
568s	interesting fight now it's going to be
569s	almost race to who can rip through the
570s	other battles while the Punisher burning
572s	in as well the stalia also burned in
574s	alongside this crucifier so it's
576s	devolving into an allout brawl as uh the
579s	logi and the rest of the squad from rqu
582s	cancel subber trying to get their reps
583s	and their eward down we see Lodi on that
586s	Mages on the crucifier right now Lu as
588s	well as the Abba and got the NES on the
590s	Abba The Vindicator still not into this
592s	fight quite yet he's tracking disrupted
594s	to all hell and this ABBA is going down
596s	pretty quickly cuz these thallas they're
598s	Being Ned out in the meantime and just
600s	cannot get on top of this uh Abba nearly
602s	enough but debug in The Vindicator he's
604s	slowly approaching this fight and once
606s	he gets on top of one of these Tempest
608s	Fleet issues or Bal Gorn it's going to
610s	devolve into an allout brawl Arena arthy
612s	though in the Abba still staying alive
613s	got the reactive armor hardener spooling
615s	as this Maes now is the primary from
617s	Platinum sensitivity they need to get
618s	these links off the table if they want
620s	to snowball this match I'm just waiting
622s	to see the abidon die this is
624s	interesting as hell because I'm watching
626s	the the Bor who can sit whatever range
627s	he wants Hunter Hughes yeah the Bon has
630s	moved into the fight as well and I think
632s	he might be presenting himself as a
633s	Target as the it looks like temp fleet's
634s	actually trying to pull away a little
635s	bit he can't move fast he can move and
638s	you can see he's trying to like Edge
639s	away a bit no look at his speed though 2
641s	Ms he's not exactly going to be moving
643s	fast yeah The Vindicator finally into
645s	this fight getting some damage on the
646s	sleet Tempest obviously these dual
648s	Sentinels can stop a Vindicator from
649s	shooting unless he's right up in your
651s	face meanwhile Platinum sensitivity
653s	they've Ned out both of these logi frags
655s	now getting some damage on an Nexium 2
656s	in the Thalia he had some very good
658s	plays in logi on an Ono earlier in this
660s	tournament but he's going to go down
661s	abau also not going to be long for the
663s	world either as he is completely Ned out
665s	and they really want to get this Lodi
666s	down so they can actually kill these
668s	abadin and maybe go for The Vindicator
670s	next who is still loved up by this Bal
671s	Gorn Bal Gorn still not comp meanwhile
673s	the sleet Tempest dipping ever lower
675s	into armor V's in Point Blank Range and
677s	needs a control space and just start
678s	shooting and look at that Vindicator
680s	skin as well absolutely horrific I love
683s	it and yeah Vin is now at zero they've
685s	lost their logy but he's right at zero
687s	now this is full damage moment this is
689s	the chance to maybe break through the
690s	Tempest Fleet before the abidon goes
692s	down well this born though not a whole
694s	lot of damage on a gun Balor for a
696s	faction B the fleet Tempest though going
699s	down in this Abba still in armor has not
701s	hit tall quite yet and the fleet Tempest
704s	is down the Abba stays alive for the
705s	time being Arena arthy making good use
708s	of the reactive armor hardener that
710s	these guys bring and the Abba stays
712s	Alive Now dipping into structure but
714s	still that lead Tempest is a significant
716s	chunk of the Platinum sensitivity damage
718s	off the table yep now see what happens
720s	next they've still got double Sentinels
721s	as well to provide control and the Bor
722s	should be able to P range but there's a
724s	little problem with that there's a
726s	little guy in a Punisher who survived
727s	right until about now who's now got the
729s	Bal Gorn webbed and scrammed so well
732s	done to uh lus in The Punisher this is
735s	what the best not logic FR Pilots are
739s	they didn't die at the start they're
740s	here when they need to be and what they
742s	need to be is tackling the important
743s	ship for the other ship to get on top of
744s	it importantly though Platinum stivity
746s	still has their links on this table the
748s	dger providing those alongs this made
750s	just in Pawn effects meanwhile the pawn
751s	effects is down from where to quit
752s	cancel Subs they have no more links
754s	after about a minute and a half for
755s	these battleships one of these paon
757s	effect is actually webbed up right now
759s	uh LTL Bazaar as this Punisher still
762s	unpunished yeah well he's about he's
765s	about to be punished I'm seeing a big
766s	old flight of drones all on his face
768s	right now yep all the drones from the uh
770s	from his team is now currently just
771s	destroying the Punisher and
773s	unfortunately I think that's going to be
775s	the end for Rage Quit because they do
777s	have good damage they have a great pair
778s	of ships for that they can't move
780s	anymore they have no motion left and
782s	they can't shoot back but the Vindicator
784s	I mean he's should be within that 30 km
786s	range that we get from those officer
788s	webs under links Grant you the links are
789s	going to pull off the Bal Gorn is 61 m/
793s	second at the moment even with the
794s	Punisher down we see the web still apply
796s	to the Bal Gorn so The Vindicator has
797s	done what they needed to do no
798s	Vindicator is on the p no never mind
800s	actually you're right it's grappled by
802s	the Abba right now so The Vindicator is
803s	still not slowing down the Bor nearly
804s	enough V being disted by P effect right
807s	now which is not good for her he needed
808s	to get on the big ship I get the
810s	understanding I do agree getting rid of
811s	the small chips but he kind of needs to
813s	get rid of the last bit of damage so
814s	then his the comp he's got stay alive
816s	and importantly Platinum sensitivity
818s	still L their logy and we see uh nebus
820s	and night cap both keeping this Pawn
822s	alive they are not under really any sort
824s	of n threat or any sort of uh web threat
827s	from the side of Rage Quit cancel sub so
828s	they're keeping the pawn effects alive
829s	quite effectively uh vator and ABA don't
831s	really apply very well uh to those uh uh
835s	destroyers so Platinum sensitivity
837s	keeping their links alive the battor
839s	still under no threat in this Abba now
840s	and half armor I like Mark Bridges and
842s	local okay I let the vindy live good
845s	fight to be fair I think he might
847s	struggle to kill it in 35 seconds yes 37
850s	seconds left Platinum sensitivity only
852s	loser carries in a fleet Tempest the
853s	indestructible Mark Bridges staying
855s	indestructible and moving on to the
857s	lower bracket finals R quck cancel sub
859s	end up fourth place in the alliance
860s	tournament this is a very deep run for
862s	them I'm excited to see how they do next
864s	year theyve had a few upsets as far as
865s	I'm aware in this match they've done
866s	some very well uh piloting they took out
868s	both evasive maneuvering as well as
871s	barcode which I think no one really
874s	expected this team to do so well played
876s	to rage quit cancel sub thus far
877s	unfortunately their run ends here
879s	Platinum sensitivity though move on to
880s	the lower bracket finals so we'll see
882s	them in a best of Series against the
884s	loser of the next series which work
885s	casting which is truth honor light
888s	versus uh versus the tuskers co we will
892s	be right back after this quick break
894s	don't go anywhere we'll be right back
895s	after this
912s	Rage Quit cancel sub Dro there our first
915s	victim of the day and now we have our
917s	top three that was an amazing run for
919s	Rage Quit cancel sub I believe that's
921s	their their first run under this name of
923s	course bunch of experienced people in
924s	there but getting that far and they
926s	brought that amazing Flagship Vindicator
928s	two flagships on there we were kind of
930s	looking for some Flagship on Flagship
931s	violence but at least their Flagship
933s	survive to live and fight another day so
935s	maybe they can recoup some of the cost
936s	I'm sure that was a very expensive
938s	Flagship knowing the people in that team
940s	I would be pretty certain it's going to
942s	be pimp AF uh but they'll be happy that
944s	survived they'll they have to be happy
946s	with the performance in this tournament
947s	they knocked out some pretty big teams
949s	uh so well done but Starfleet how did
952s	that match go it looked like at one
953s	point it wasn't going to be as cut and
954s	dry as it kind of ended up being I mean
956s	I think the Sentinels uh were the main a
959s	huge Factor on the match TD and the
961s	abandons and the vindy and obviously the
963s	bow gor webbing the vindy back and the
966s	abandons coming in closer it was we were
968s	talking weren't we Misty that like is a
970s	they kind of kiting weren't they with
971s	the bow go and they're just using its
973s	NES just to try and get the the cap down
974s	for the abandon and when they felt it
976s	was right they went in for the with the
978s	feet 10 pit to try and get the damage
979s	down trying to get the aband down yeah I
981s	mean one of the advantages of a
982s	Vindicator is web strength you can just
985s	like you know slow everything down when
986s	you can tell when someone's got a really
988s	fancy web on a Vindicator because he he
990s	presses whatever hotkey his web is on
992s	and then the ship speed just goes to
994s	like three um whereas the Balor doesn't
996s	get the strength bonus but it gets the
997s	range bonus so the Balor will be able to
999s	web that Vindicator before it can be
1001s	webbed itself it was probably like for
1004s	the vindy pilot frustrating yeah not
1006s	only are you webbed miles away you
1008s	probably can only hit what two kilm yeah
1010s	yeah the Sentinels were just tracking
1012s	disrupting the vindy down so even when
1014s	it did get webs on the pon effects
1015s	towards the end of the match we saw that
1017s	the ponts was just tanking because the
1019s	ab's kept out probably and the
1021s	vindicator's just like swinging away but
1025s	can't quite really close super close
1027s	little T-Rex arms yeah little T-Rex
1029s	vindy vindy blasters yeah not not not
1031s	quite what you want when you're uh yeah
1034s	behind already yeah me I think they
1036s	definitely plaum sensitivity let's be
1038s	clear they played it very well they
1040s	controlled the match um you know you
1042s	pointed out star Fleet they were sort of
1043s	like positioning waiting until those NES
1044s	really took effect but I mean that was I
1047s	think um rage qu really pushed Platinum
1050s	sensitivity there they couldn't just sit
1051s	back and relax no they can't just wait
1053s	it's just for them it's terrible with
1055s	n's pressure over time it just gets
1057s	worse and worse and worse and as we're
1058s	watching Missy said the same thing it's
1059s	like the longer this goes on the worse
1060s	it is for rage quit and also let's not
1062s	forget the carries doing a great job
1065s	dampening the the crucifiers I I I had
1068s	joking well not jokingly I was saying oh
1070s	the carriers are doing the Lord's work
1072s	damping out the crucifiers and stopping
1073s	tracking disruptors and then track and
1075s	disruptors hit the B and I went never
1076s	mind never mind but he was doing a good
1078s	job though really well played from the
1080s	carries pilot um I think the carries
1082s	also likely had a scram as well cuz at
1083s	one point it got webbed by The
1084s	Vindicator and I think it was because
1086s	the carries was using its long-range SC
1088s	bonus to hold down one of the
1089s	battleships again to help separate and
1092s	Screen um the big damage ships when they
1093s	were burning in for the the flest and
1096s	the balone so just great pilot on both
1098s	sides tough as well because towards the
1100s	end they were getting up against the
1102s	arena so you can really kind for so long
1105s	so you just have to at one point be like
1106s	okay we got to go in now otherwise we're
1108s	going to get pushed and push and pushed
1110s	and you want to try and get that vindy
1111s	separated as well but that's sorry I was
1113s	just going to say I wonder what would
1114s	have happened different if the deacons
1116s	on the other side died because once
1118s	those deacons dropped on Rage Quit It
1120s	was kind of that's when plant could
1121s	commit and go in because it becomes a
1123s	DPS race and they have deacons well the
1125s	thing with the plat comp and I I think I
1127s	like the uh Platinum sensitivity comp
1129s	more because it had the Sentinels yeah
1131s	so we were saying like you know we're
1132s	focusing on the Bal gor the fact that
1134s	it's a flagship it has the NES they're
1135s	going up against cap heavy battleships
1137s	like the abadin like the vind
1139s	but what we haven't necessarily focused
1141s	on too much is the fact that the
1142s	Sentinels did a great job of getting
1144s	around the BH brawl getting on those
1146s	stallers and because you have one
1148s	Sentinel per Thalia they are basically
1149s	going to be capped out yeah it's like
1151s	you get that one I'll get this one bang
1153s	done they because as soon as they brw in
1156s	they're like right let's go round and
1158s	the NES basically landed on both valers
1159s	at around the same time so the moment
1161s	that happens they're gone um and then
1163s	you also have the droger burning around
1164s	in the back line as well getting rid of
1166s	those crucifiers and then working way
1167s	through the support you forget about
1169s	yeah you're just like you're so fix on
1171s	like the and goes around the the benefit
1174s	of Tri frig like the nle um not so much
1178s	the damic but the nurgle and the draer
1180s	Not only can they bring links so um
1182s	there are actually a decent number of
1183s	Link ships on the Platinum sensitivity
1185s	side they had the Magus the pun effects
1186s	but also the draer um which is not what
1188s	we usually see when we're looking at
1190s	command desis um but it also spoils so
1194s	you can essentially just put it on a
1196s	random ship in the back of the arena and
1197s	even if it is like a logistics Cruiser
1199s	it eventually will start doing 800 DPS M
1202s	constantly just ticking away a lot of
1204s	DPS and because the comp that we saw
1207s	from Rage Quit cancel sub was so limited
1210s	in terms of scope and like how far it
1212s	could actually shoot out they had
1213s	nothing that could clear it yeah yep all
1215s	right let's take a look at the bands for
1216s	our next match this is going to be the
1217s	first of a best of three so we're now
1219s	into the winners bracket uh finals the
1222s	winner of this match or this best of
1224s	three match I should say will go into
1225s	the grand finals the loser will drop
1226s	down to play um the lower bracket final
1229s	which is also a best of three so this is
1230s	a really important one to win because
1232s	then you get to rest and then go into
1234s	the finals tusker's Co Banning out the
1235s	laus the arazu so lots of scrams off the
1237s	field the EOS and the curse meanwhile
1240s	truth on a light Banning out the hugan
1241s	the Rapier the guardian and the onos
1244s	Starfleet Commander they don't like
1245s	Recons yeah I mean that I think this is
1248s	the first time cuz they obviously they
1250s	just yeah I mean they don't want the
1251s	webs they don't want long points Lots no
1252s	scramming no webs and then no armal logy
1255s	and a bit of EOS occur so obviously all
1258s	the disruption is TDS and GDs are still
1260s	open but I I don't know what to make of
1262s	the the the hug in AR rapia and the
1264s	thees and the razi do you reckon it's
1266s	projection I well they we saw yesterday
1268s	truth on Al light brought um uh like
1269s	multis scram theis to just kind of keep
1271s	people away um which was very effective
1275s	very targeted ban uh I think the same
1277s	from truth on the light um they they've
1279s	seen tuskers bring pretty much
1280s	exclusively armor comp so far usually
1282s	with an anus or a guardian I think
1284s	mostly the are neros but they favored
1285s	like the triple doy comp the EOS comp uh
1288s	so these are I mean we're into the top
1290s	teams at this point these These are
1291s	targeted bands these are not just like
1292s	random bands yeah this is one of the
1294s	points where we start seeing ships that
1295s	we wouldn't usually see getting banned
1297s	getting taken out like the arazu and the
1298s	lisus have only been banned against I
1300s	think truth on a light because they've
1301s	fied it they've shown what they can do
1303s	with it and likewise we know tuskers is
1305s	a very kiting heavy comp or or focused
1308s	team rather um they've done some wacky
1310s	stuff like the kiting Guardians with
1311s	like cfis and like that um so they're
1315s	just going to be taking the strongest
1318s	ships that will contribute towards a
1320s	successful kiing team like the hugan
1321s	like the rapia and trying to get rid of
1323s	them so it makes it easier to counter
1325s	what tuskers might be bringing and
1326s	likewise for truth online well in terms
1328s	of what tuskers are bringing I can see
1329s	they are bringing their Flagship uh to
1331s	this match so this could be an
1333s	interesting one is a flagship Bal Gorn
1335s	so they are bringing armor probably as
1336s	Zas or maybe a couple of deacons um this
1338s	we are into Conquest bands I'll explain
1340s	that after this match because we've got
1342s	90 seconds and I think let's just go to
1343s	the arena and let the commentators talk
1344s	about
1347s	it welcome back to the arena my name is
1349s	name is f joined by Wingnut cross and we
1350s	are ready to go with game number one of
1352s	the best of three between tuskers cow
1354s	and Truth honor light it is the upper
1355s	bracket finals winner goes on to the
1357s	Grand finals Loser ends up facing uh
1360s	Platinum sensitivity in the lower
1361s	bracket finals what do we have on grid
1363s	Wingnut tuskers have pulled a tuskers
1366s	here they've got a full control kiting
1368s	comp with a cruise typhoon as one of
1371s	their main damages the Balor has no guns
1373s	they have a hyena backing up and a
1375s	bellicose as well this is disgusting in
1379s	and Tru of the light going we know what
1381s	works we're going to keep using what
1382s	works but not only did they do that they
1384s	warped what works at zero which is
1386s	usually inadvisably
1409s	brawl them out with a medium gun spam
1410s	that said tuskers they've got two webs
1412s	on the born most likely they've got at
1414s	least one web if not two in the hyena
1416s	all those going to be longrange webs
1417s	they also have paints on the B on the
1419s	Bell Co right and a purifier to help
1421s	take advantage of the paints on that
1423s	Bell Co so we're about to get ready
1426s	underway let's see how the teams respond
1429s	tuskers is of course cting back and
1430s	burning in is truth honor light yeah
1432s	this is the one team that could
1434s	potentially beat tusk's wacky zany stuff
1436s	look all those web though they uh they
1438s	already going to have half that compy
1439s	kind stuck they've targeted the cheap T1
1441s	Cruisers as well as navy Brooks to slow
1443s	them down drones are already out the
1445s	rush has begun on mer and we see drone
1448s	damage on this molus right now and a
1450s	little bit of gun damage as well uh
1451s	painted up by this vigil but the M stays
1454s	alive and now they swap to the purifier
1455s	truth onor light trying to take down
1457s	this low into the tuskar co we see some
1459s	reps landing on this purifier right now
1460s	as the mer dips into armor but first
1463s	Blood goes over to truth honor light as
1464s	they take down this torpedo boat
1466s	interesting as well is that the born did
1468s	not run away the Balor of vld basically
1470s	kind of either didn't move or burned in
1472s	a little bit because he just basically
1474s	was trying to say shoot me please shoot
1475s	me on the aard too uh we kind of uh
1478s	didn't mention this but this is not a
1480s	gun Bal Gard one of these moles Falls
1482s	but the Bal gor is actually full n fit
1484s	and or smart bombs yes Andor smart bombs
1486s	so this is going to be pretty difficult
1488s	for truth hon light if they get close to
1490s	this Balor and actually use their guns
1491s	those Balor news very oppressive they're
1494s	going for the Orin now and if they get
1496s	rid of that this King comp going to lose
1497s	a lot of it stain so this is already
1499s	looking a little rough for tuskers but
1502s	truth on the L is not coming out free at
1503s	the moment they're about to lose a mher
1505s	merer unfortunately the AUG not able to
1507s	keep it up even through the HML and
1510s	cruise damage that tuskers Co have
1512s	brought this Aug meanwhile Jer Mora very
1514s	low armor seems to be a buffer fit not
1516s	really having any sort of active rep on
1518s	either of these we see more damage on in
1520s	this other Muller of to ther light nith
1522s	hin the primary from tus K but they will
1524s	lose their augura for this indeed this
1526s	is this is tusk's wackiness man they SP
1528s	spun the wheel of comps and made this
1530s	and I'm like this is I tuskers always
1532s	have like a forehead idea and I'm not
1534s	entirely sure if this was a good or bad
1536s	one yet well we will see how that works
1539s	some damage on this hyena and pawn
1540s	effects the pawn effects currently being
1541s	painted something just got deleted it
1543s	was one of those MERS so do go 22 now
1546s	look at the webs now nothing can move
1549s	nothing moving at all in this Pawn
1551s	effects currently painted up the
1552s	primaries keep swapping from truth H
1554s	light they need to kill some of this low
1555s	and some of the support that truth
1557s	tuskers have brought they're now on the
1558s	hyena once again and that is a lot of
1560s	webs probably three of them off the
1562s	table and we see three webs drop off and
1563s	now it's just the two from the Balor
1565s	unfortunately for tuskers that was the
1566s	end game they wanted there where they
1568s	can they can web everything off but
1569s	having lost all their support and their
1571s	loggy they can't maintain now so while
1574s	they've got they got to what they wanted
1575s	they could not get there fast enough and
1577s	now they're just going to fall apart I
1578s	think which is a damn shame well they've
1580s	got this augo down at the very least so
1582s	truth Hunter light without their log G
1583s	tuskers co uh cruises apply very well
1586s	especially under pains from abelos right
1588s	so uh tuster is still not quite out of
1590s	this it's 42 points to 46 but they're
1592s	going to lose their molus they're going
1593s	to lose their last bit of control other
1594s	than the Bal Gorn and Drew ther light
1596s	seem to be starting to snowball they've
1598s	got a lot of damage on those Pawn
1599s	effects they've now got pains on the
1600s	fleet Cyclone are going to take that out
1602s	next too yep and basically because
1604s	they're so many damage ships as well
1606s	they can't be Ned off as easily even
1607s	with like a eight n balone it's going to
1609s	be kind of hard to fully n these ships
1610s	out which means damage will always be
1611s	coming and they can't avoid it and
1614s	they've been playing very well obviously
1616s	going in for the all out brawl off the
1617s	start we see the omen the ABS solution
1619s	and the other Omen pretty close to the
1620s	cycl flid issue and about to swap to
1622s	this typhoon and me chief Master Theory
1624s	crafter for tuskers obviously tuskers
1626s	this is the best of three so if they
1628s	lose this match they're not going to be
1629s	out of it yet and then we get into
1632s	Conquest bands and Truth honor light
1633s	will not be able to bring any of these
1635s	ships in the next match basically
1636s	they've said we are not allowed to bring
1638s	um a medium gun spam do you think
1640s	they're going to bring Shield medium
1641s	guns spam next time uh perhaps we've
1643s	actually seen a couple teams have
1644s	success with Shield medium gun spam
1645s	especially medium gun spam Mir matchups
1648s	so truth honor light uh they are doing
1651s	very well this match they should end up
1652s	winning as they're under this typhoon
1653s	now uh didn't even have to kill the
1655s	links for tuskers Co they just had
1657s	overwhelming DPS and tuskers
1659s	unfortunately for them did not have
1661s	nearly enough in the tank to deal with
1663s	truth honter light I'm double checking
1665s	here this does not appear to be a flag B
1667s	Gorn so uh tuskers are going to no
1670s	tuskers do have a flag born excuse me
1672s	flag that is their flag born so Tru
1675s	bring otherwise there' be no point to
1677s	bringing it otherwise yeah it's got to
1678s	be blackorn which is why the webs are so
1680s	good that's what they're playing on the
1681s	hyena and the Balor keep everyone away
1683s	Oro Keeps Us Alive damp them down
1685s	tracking disrupt and ruin their day and
1687s	just shoot them with what little DPS
1688s	they had cuz they had what two and a
1690s	half DPS ships yeah I mean that's about
1693s	it really didn't really do it so yeah
1695s	it's really kind of two but well
1696s	purifier so and don't forget Bell Co
1699s	missiles they do exist Bell Co does f
1702s	missiles on occasion it it does it does
1704s	but uh vld morome in the born now
1707s	scrammed up and uh we'll see if if y's
1710s	as indestructible as the indestructible
1712s	Mark bridges in that b Gard he's got
1714s	five minutes to tank I think the answer
1715s	to that one is likely to be no
1717s	especially once the links go
1719s	away we may about to see tuskers lose
1721s	their flag horn here oh boy I mean we we
1724s	didn't have a whole lot of flagships
1725s	lost yesterday and of course that flag
1727s	indicator survived uh earlier on today
1730s	if this Balor goes down tusar is going
1732s	to be pretty upset with that because
1733s	dwth THL still have their Flagship which
1735s	I believe is also a BAL Gorn available
1737s	to them what a surprise
1739s	V Mor uh still hovering about 2/3 armor
1742s	right now we've got 4 minutes 42 seconds
1745s	uh truth onor light they've got four DPS
1746s	boats into the sporn and we see the
1748s	attack bar uh just drones from tuskers
1751s	co uh and some missiles from the Bellos
1753s	trying to get at least some damage onto
1755s	this stard day the DRS have got a
1758s	Vespers and they're
1760s	hitting I'm just seeing if there's a
1762s	possibility they can get away with this
1764s	with that blor I don't think so I think
1767s	he might be able to survive the four
1769s	minutes he might be able to do that so
1771s	but he can't really kill even with five
1772s	vesas and NES removing as much as he can
1774s	from resistance I don't think he can get
1776s	through I don't think he can kill but
1778s	also like he's fully self tank he has
1781s	there smart bombs okay he he is a mixed
1783s	smart bomb n fit so there we go fair
1784s	enough I have to see that as well smart
1785s	bombs and NES and obviously you're able
1787s	to use blue and purple reps up to two of
1789s	them on uh flagships and those blue and
1793s	purple reps are better than an nil in
1794s	terms of ehp per second they rep up so
1797s	uh this born probably got two purple
1799s	reps if I had to imagine maybe two blue
1801s	ones for fitting and thus vld is going
1803s	to be very difficult to kill with really
1805s	only four DPSS from truth onor light on
1807s	the table even if they're all loading
1809s	their close range ammo receive El really
1811s	never dipping below half armor he's able
1813s	to bait tank a little bit and then uses
1815s	reps and dual rep back up to four now
1817s	normally Batts have a bit of a worry
1818s	with cap boosters they can carry about
1820s	six or seven 300s but there is a special
1822s	thing from blood Rader ships that
1824s	allowed him to avoid that issue to a
1825s	small degree yep he can suck there are
1828s	not is as we see the NOS actually on a
1830s	Navy harbringer does not matter how big
1832s	the cat pool of the enemy ship is it
1834s	does not need to be bigger than yours
1836s	you will be able to St their capacitor
1837s	away from them on any blood Raider ship
1839s	so the B Gorn having a good time getting
1842s	this stuff on Navy har they all Point
1844s	Blank they've all loaded close range
1845s	ammo they actually might get him now oh
1848s	no he's in structure oh they're going to
1851s	get him they're going to get on we're
1852s	going to see a very shiny born Kil Mill
1855s	perhaps even the most expensive one of
1857s	the tournament cuz
1858s	that thing probably has two Toby web on
1861s	it and it is down so tusker is not going
1863s	to be able to bring their Flagship for
1865s	the rest of the tournament true th light
1866s	still have their flag born available and
1869s	with the conquest bands we'll see if
1871s	they want to bring it against tuskers in
1872s	this next match that is painful but
1876s	people one thing about meting gun spam
1878s	they are meant to be mid-range cops but
1880s	Javelin does exist as an ammo T you can
1882s	get real close and personal hits with
1883s	some good damage and they mean moment
1885s	they did they won GG well done to Tron
1887s	alette first matches to them a flagship
1890s	down let's go back to the studio and see
1891s	what they think
1918s	and there you have it so uh the tuskers
1921s	dropping the first match in this best of
1923s	three this is the upper bracket final
1925s	but all they uh lose the first match
1927s	they also lost their Flagship Bal Gorn
1929s	so big loss to them right there uh
1932s	Starfleet Commander where did it all go
1933s	wrong for the tusers there well actually
1936s	I thought they had a good chance yeah at
1937s	the start I was thinking this could work
1939s	and I thought they just need to cap out
1941s	PO on the battle Cruisers and probably
1943s	try I think they're just lacking damage
1945s	weren't they as soon as the typhoon
1946s	Fleet isue went down and and the fleet
1948s	cycle went down there was nothing cuz it
1950s	was I believe well I don't if we have to
1951s	kill M but I'm assuming it's a it's a
1953s	full n it's a full n b yeah looked it
1955s	towards the end that U maybe had a smart
1957s	bomb or something but uh I don't think
1959s	there's any guns on that Bal Gorn um
1961s	I'll be interested to see if the Kil me
1962s	does pop up I half expect the tuskers
1964s	and Truth onite both of be teams that
1965s	have removed their apis from zkill to
1968s	protect that dank Intel um but we'll
1970s	find out if it comes up there's at least
1971s	another fancy balar and Kil we can look
1973s	at a little bit later anyway and also
1974s	for THL at the start they didn't
1976s	actually break anything at the beginning
1978s	it was actually usually you get a kill
1980s	immediately for like the first 10
1982s	seconds it's so important for the medum
1983s	ra guns to get like a kill down but they
1986s	as soon as they didn't I thought maybe
1988s	maybe tuskers actually take this but
1989s	they still got through the TL I feel
1991s	like tuskers didn't have enough DPS like
1993s	You' pointed it out um and also blackb
1995s	pirate pointed out that looked like a a
1997s	rare piloting error on the side of Truth
1999s	onite at the start of that match you saw
2001s	the paints going to one um of the uh
2004s	molles and then the damage was in the
2006s	other and then the paints had to be
2007s	swapped so normally you would expect
2009s	paints on the one you're shooting but a
2010s	bit maybe miscommunication or someone
2011s	clicked the wrong thing but that's what
2013s	looked like and that's why that Mo
2015s	mollus first got away mistical M yeah um
2017s	I wasn't so sure about the targeting
2019s	choice at the very beginning um with
2020s	medium gun spam you have a very good
2022s	chance of being able to clear the lower
2023s	end of the comp because your guns are
2025s	going to track frigs really really well
2026s	especially with a vigil helping out by
2029s	pointing at it and saying you can now
2031s	hit this thing um that's essentially
2032s	what a vigil does um however yeah like
2035s	you said the vigil managed to paint the
2037s	wrong one at the very beginning so when
2039s	they first shot the morus it managed to
2040s	burn away it makes sense that you would
2042s	try and Target the morus at the very
2043s	beginning at least getting rid of one
2045s	because you are a comp that does damage
2047s	at range and the mores are very much a
2049s	case of please don't lock me at this
2051s	range with my damps and the way that
2053s	damps work for those who are unaware or
2055s	or fairly new to the game who haven't
2056s	experienced the joys of PVP and not
2058s	being able to lock things yet damps are
2060s	modules that you can load with either
2062s	lock range scripts or scan scripts scan
2066s	resolution is the speed at which you
2067s	lock other ships and then lock range is
2070s	how far out you can lock the dampeners
2072s	when applied to your ship will lower
2074s	those ranges respectively or that that
2076s	that scanner is respectively making it
2078s	either hard for you to lock out to range
2080s	or making it so it takes really really
2082s	long time for you to actually lock
2083s	something so we see various uses for
2085s	these in the alliance tournament in this
2087s	particular case the two mores would have
2089s	been applying their damps to the battle
2090s	Cruisers the Omens the MERS to stop them
2093s	from being able to project out which
2095s	helped both keep them alive but would
2096s	have also kept things like the purifier
2097s	alive
2098s	as well the beginning of the match but
2100s	we did see that the purifier went down
2102s	when truth on the light realized they
2103s	couldn't kill the morus which was I
2105s	think the correct Choice and then they
2106s	were able to swap over to the aura
2108s	because they managed to burn into range
2110s	even though there was a lot of webs
2111s	coming out from the tuska's team the
2113s	hyena and the Balor wouldn't have been
2115s	able to keep everything away from the
2116s	Aur and it only takes a few ships
2118s	getting on top to really do the damage a
2120s	balance as well you don't to be too
2122s	close to the B gor it's it's a catch 22
2124s	really cuz you're going to have to go
2125s	close cuz you get damped but if you get
2127s	to close you saw a lot of the NES going
2129s	on to all the ships and probably they
2130s	were having cap issues throughout the
2132s	whole match the DPS was probably
2133s	fluctuating a bit so I think I saw tin
2135s	he actually moved away from the Balor
2137s	slowly just to get probably cap up again
2139s	start shooting again so is you know they
2141s	have to go in and you know try and get
2144s	the DPS on yep I mean this has got to be
2146s	a bit of a a morale hit as well for the
2149s	tuskers so tuskers um competed in
2151s	Alliance room 19 Grand Final they went
2153s	up 2-0 against fraternity and then
2155s	dropped three matches back to back to
2157s	back and uh by all tents and purposes
2159s	but they said by the time that last
2161s	match finished like you know they were
2162s	all kind of like broken at that point
2164s	it's a lot of effort a lot of mental
2166s	pressure and then they just kind of
2168s	fumbled it at the end uh and of course
2170s	finished second going into this best of
2172s	three against truth on a light one of
2174s	the best teams in the tournament and
2175s	then not only losing the first match now
2177s	being down one so the next match is now
2179s	series point for them um they lost their
2181s	Flagship star you've been in a similar
2184s	situation I've been this has been I have
2187s	yes how how is it like you know the
2189s	match is over you teleported out of the
2191s	system you're on comms with the with the
2193s	guys like what happens here's the thing
2195s	you have to gamble at some point in this
2198s	in this tournament especially in the
2199s	best ofs you have to put your Flagship
2200s	on there at some point and you have to
2201s	sort of try and read them and see if you
2203s	can survive obviously in a previous
2206s	tournament we did lose our Flagship in
2207s	the best of um it is a bit of a morale
2210s	hit but tuskers are experienced and I
2212s	think they can they can still do really
2215s	well even without their Flagship
2216s	obviously there is T show don't have
2218s	that scare now so they can kind of move
2221s	forward with disregarding the Bal gun as
2222s	a core archetype for the for the comps
2225s	and stuff so but that does remove a lot
2226s	of comps doesn't it in terms of balone
2228s	being off the off the table for for
2231s	tuskers does probably a lot of their
2232s	pull is gone so THL can kind of now
2235s	think okay we don't have to worry about
2237s	anymore and we can sort of focus on new
2238s	comps or something but obviously this is
2240s	now Conquest yep isn't it yes so
2243s	Conquest bans we'll come back to that in
2244s	in a few minutes I still want to keep on
2246s	this match for a little bit longer
2247s	mytical m we saw um truth on light
2249s	coming in very close to the beacon
2251s	almost at zero um with their sort of
2252s	medium gun spam if you could you know
2255s	clap clap go back in time um and change
2257s	what the tus are bringing what type of
2259s	comp do you think would go up against
2260s	that truth on a light match up there
2261s	well it's funny I was just thinking when
2263s	we were talking about the Bal Gorn and
2264s	the fact that it's kind of essential in
2266s	some of the archetypes um the Balor
2268s	Widow comps that we were seeing
2269s	yesterday especially from truth on the
2270s	light I think may have fed decently well
2273s	against the truth on light comp here
2275s	provided they had enough screening to
2277s	hold down the ship and keep them at
2278s	range from the widow um kill you keep
2281s	talking I'll tell you in a minute I'm
2282s	going to then get ready to Yap um no but
2286s	um yeah I I I think that the comp wasn't
2290s	necessarily bad it's just that when
2292s	you're bringing so few DPS ships it's
2294s	very easy for a full DPS team to just
2297s	kind of break through those few call
2300s	ships and once you run out I think it
2302s	was a full new Balon you'll be able to
2304s	confirm in a moment C be overload yes
2307s	don't spil oh my that oh um but that
2311s	yeah once once your ships are dead
2312s	you're basically sat there Going H it's
2315s	a nice weather out in this Arena today I
2317s	hope I don't die I mean shout out to vld
2320s	like for a while I thought he was
2321s	actually going to tank and survive in
2323s	that Bal gor cuz it looked like he was
2324s	tanking uh he was nting out things that
2326s	were uh um uh shooting him like quite
2329s	effectively he was repping and then we
2331s	were watching it and then I the defense
2333s	part kind of went I went I said that the
2336s	uh it looked like a plate burn because
2338s	he was tanking very very well and then
2340s	it just dipped straight into the red it
2342s	was like that's a lot of ehp gun in one
2345s	hit so looking at the looking at the
2347s	kill mail so yeah Phil n so uh two
2349s	medium one heavy two Heavies actually uh
2352s	and then a NOS couple of smart bombs how
2355s	many webs how many webs uh we had three
2357s	webs one fed Navy
2359s	FBI and then two Tobias web so those
2362s	Toby webs are about 80 Bill a pop so
2365s	dropped everything dropped it's 90%
2368s	hooray let's keep in mind here truth and
2370s	a light have a flagship Balor yes and
2372s	they've now just received a 90% Loot
2374s	drop Flagship Balor so I feel like if
2377s	your tuskers not only are you sad that
2378s	you've lost your Balon but any modules
2381s	that you have dropped on potential
2382s	upgrades that you would then have to go
2383s	up against yourself I mean I'm pretty
2384s	sure truth on light are going to already
2386s	be pretty much best in slot for
2387s	everything just adding to the stack but
2389s	now you see more
2391s	to more so the more you have the more
2394s	you're going to win stly how about this
2395s	then so that balg garm was going down
2397s	towards the end there was still a Bell
2399s	Co up so when it's clear that the the
2402s	bound's going to break do you just like
2404s	send the um the Bell Co to boundary I
2406s	know this was going so that the match is
2407s	over immediately and hope you that could
2410s	be I heard you should do that I think
2412s	you should definitely go for the
2413s	boundary I remember a wise man saying
2415s	kill the bow gor don't let it boundary
2417s	this one time things were said oh yeah
2419s	In the Heat of the Moment In the match
2421s	yeah and it was against tuskers was it
2422s	yes it was was it the right call no no
2425s	maybe not no but we live and we learn
2427s	yeah that's probably about 220 billion
2429s	isk Bal Gorn loss there uh so like this
2432s	little bit into the pockets of Truth on
2433s	a light so they're C going to be happy
2435s	about that I'm assuming they time to
2435s	skip the loot that Bellos was still
2437s	alive for another like 30 seconds or so
2439s	yeah yeah I I mean I was that if I was
2441s	tus I would have told the Bellos to gtf
2443s	immediately since the BGR was breaking
2445s	so the match is over and then you really
2446s	have to be quick to lo you still have a
2448s	couple of seconds just to be clear but
2450s	it's not long they don't they don't hold
2451s	just so you can look they cut buttons at
2454s	the same rate so match is over
2456s	brutal is sending you home bang button
2459s	and then gone so uh that's that's what I
2461s	would have done deny the loot to the
2463s	enemies you know I was telling Jason to
2465s	shoot the wreck I was like come on get
2467s	in there just suicide your Bell Co and
2469s	try and shoot the wreck in time probably
2470s	wouldn't have been able to but you know
2472s	trying to deny your opponent's loot
2474s	especially when you have to go up
2474s	against them in a best of is uh smart
2477s	tactics yeah now as we mentioned uh
2480s	these are best of series at this point
2482s	so uh this is a best of three so um if
2485s	truth on light wins a second match then
2487s	it's great the you know series over
2489s	everyone is happy apart from the tuskers
2491s	and we move on to the next one which is
2493s	the lower bracket final which the
2494s	tuskers would also be in then at that
2495s	point if the tuskers win this match we
2497s	go to the third match and uh then it's
2499s	of course 1-1 and whoever wins that one
2501s	you know which is what we want which is
2503s	what we want for competitiveness like
2504s	it's more fun more PVP now um we also
2507s	have Conquest bands so what that means
2510s	is if you win a match at this point um
2513s	so TR like just one every single ship
2515s	that they brought banned for them so the
2518s	other team has only the regular bands uh
2521s	truth and light have their regular bands
2522s	as well plus all the bands for what they
2524s	brought in that first match Mr um
2526s	obviously truth on light their team is
2528s	going to be practicing Conquest band
2529s	systems they're this is not going to
2530s	phase them yeah it's it gets to the
2533s	point where you now have to start
2535s	thinking about your coms in terms of how
2537s	can we bring duplicate ships to reduce
2539s	the PO of ships that we are losing out
2541s	on when we win a match um I think we saw
2543s	a comp earlier on in the tournament
2545s	which was basically one of every single
2546s	type of ship that they could CR in um
2549s	that's not what you want to be doing in
2550s	a conquest band situation because that
2552s	cuts you out of a lot of different comps
2554s	you want to be bringing your two Omens
2555s	your two MERS because that way you still
2557s	have a wider range of ships that you
2559s	could bring like the Navy Omen for
2560s	example would still be in in this case
2562s	you got the vigilance and all that kind
2564s	of stuff for the lower end Cruiser comps
2565s	if you wanted to bring that so yeah it's
2568s	just a matter of if you're going to
2569s	bring some logi frigs bring two deacons
2571s	instead of a Decon I think they've done
2573s	it on purpose bringing medium rail span
2575s	yeah I think it's quite a standard comp
2577s	it can deal with most things but they've
2579s	definitely got other comps in their back
2580s	pocket so it's like it's not really a
2582s	bigger deal if if they win perfect they
2584s	can just bring a new comp obviously
2585s	tuskers can still bring U the same comp
2588s	again obviously without the flag the
2590s	flagship which would be a bit of a bit
2591s	of a nightmare for them I think I I
2593s	think TL doing doing this on purpose
2595s	bring a quite a standard comp see if
2597s	they can break through obviously it was
2598s	it paid off they got the flag down
2600s	absolutely fantastic and one even if
2602s	they lost I still think it would have
2603s	been good if they killed the flag and
2605s	lost with that comp I think it would
2606s	been worth it yeah I mean as soon as as
2608s	soon as we went to the arena I looked at
2610s	it and I was I turned to I think it was
2611s	you miss I was like this looks like a
2613s	flagship head shot comp because in best
2615s	ofs um sometimes you don't mind losing a
2618s	match if you can remove your opponent's
2620s	Flagship because now they don't have a
2621s	flagship and you do and that's a big big
2624s	difference for the viewers at home all
2627s	right we we were on the same at team for
2629s	quite a while um and I do remember a
2632s	decision against I think it was P at the
2633s	time or was it Hydra where we we brought
2636s	a flagship headshot comp and then they
2637s	didn't bring their Flagship yeah I know
2640s	that was gam gambles were made you do
2642s	have to gamble a little bit especially
2643s	against te yeah that you're that you're
2645s	not so confident against you gamble a
2647s	little bit because if you weaken them
2649s	but you lose your match and you're still
2651s	in the tournament you drop down into
2652s	lower bracket it still gives you a great
2654s	opportunity later on for them best we
2656s	brought battleships just loads of
2657s	battleships and bombers yeah we brought
2659s	battleships and bombers went up against
2660s	like kite or some medium and then it
2663s	came ond and it wasn't a flag and we're
2664s	like ah yeah we
2667s	about that Gamble and it it is worth a
2669s	dropping that match sometimes to take
2670s	away the flagship because now in this
2672s	particular case right we're in the best
2674s	of three um both teams had flag Balor
2677s	now only truth on the light has a flag
2678s	balone but comps like the Balor Widow
2681s	I'm now expecting to see some Widow
2682s	bands coming out right because now
2684s	tuskers won't be able to effectively
2685s	field that comp anymore CU they're going
2687s	to be lacking the extreme level of
2688s	control that you would want in a comp
2691s	like that right so I think the ban
2693s	strategy is going to change we'll
2694s	probably see the lisus the arazu maybe
2697s	um and then we'll probably see a widow
2699s	um and then some for May the zarm that's
2701s	been very popular logistic ship the zarm
2703s	maybe but I feel like you can deal with
2705s	the
2706s	zarm better or or utilize a arm even
2709s	without a flagship whereas I feel like
2711s	the Widow is just something that they're
2712s	going to have extreme difficulty
2714s	Fielding now themselves I mean when we
2715s	saw aasa maneuvering bring that Widow
2717s	comp first with the flagship The Shack
2719s	and as armad uh I remember we looked her
2721s	and we like that looks like an apex comp
2723s	like one of their best and then we saw I
2725s	think truth on light also brought a w at
2726s	one point but it was Widow Bal Gorn
2728s	instead um lots of heavy control comps
2731s	like these teams tend to favor control
2733s	over just raw DPS and then occasionally
2735s	they'll just come out with a rush um and
2737s	I'm sort of expecting one of the two
2738s	teams in this next match just to go for
2740s	an all out High DPS Shield Rush would
2742s	you have described that comp that truth
2744s	on like brought as a gun
2746s	Rush uh I maybe would describe it as a
2748s	gun rush but more of a gun kite oh so
2751s	not gush not gush no
2753s	gushing okay
2758s	what were you going to say that I was
2759s	going somewhere but I will not I will
2761s	not yes I will see be zealous right now
2763s	is relieved all right I believe uh we
2766s	can call for some uh Team graphs they're
2769s	saying to call for them specifically so
2770s	let's look at the tuskers co team graph
2773s	the uh the summary of that team
2776s	excellent I am so good at my job okay so
2778s	uh 70 people have flown for the tuskers
2781s	uh in their many Alliance tournaments of
2782s	course the they won Alliance tournament
2784s	14 uh a way back when now um and you can
2787s	see here look at the the different um
2789s	matches in the history on the right you
2790s	can see the they're rather unfortunate
2793s	run against fraternity if you're them
2794s	great if you're fraternity from Alliance
2796s	tournament 19 last year and then you can
2798s	see the teams that they've gone through
2799s	so far in Alliance tournament 20 they
2802s	beat unspoken Alliance they beat Rage
2803s	Quit cancel sub they beat deteriorated
2805s	they beat barcode in a very exciting
2807s	match yesterday uh with a really
2809s	expensive Bal Gorn probably around 600
2811s	billion uh which was a you know super
2813s	good match and then this is their first
2815s	loss of the tournament now cuz they're
2817s	in the upper bracket final um and they
2819s	just lost to truth on aite you can see
2822s	they are quite a winning team in general
2823s	with a lot of really experienced Pilots
2826s	uh vld he was the guy in the flagship in
2827s	that last match we saw him flying there
2829s	so he's just you know getting into the
2831s	top five latronicas is an old name one
2833s	of the best Logistics pilots in the game
2834s	for a while and of course suan he was
2836s	the captain back during the alliance
2838s	tournament 14 winning run so super good
2841s	maybe we can compare them to truth honor
2843s	light in this case let's have a look at
2845s	that
2846s	one so truth on light smaller team
2848s	they're basically made up of a lot of
2850s	people from Hydro reloaded um uh
2852s	pandemic Legion and a couple of other
2854s	really really good teams and you can see
2856s	they've basically renamed uh into truth
2857s	on a light they wenton under Hydro
2859s	reloaded um and then changed to truth on
2861s	a light they win a lot I was just
2864s	laughing cuz uh you see 22 w three loss
2866s	and then you look at the veteran pilots
2867s	and it's 75 rounds it's like well
2870s	obviously a team that's bounced re
2872s	renamed themselves a couple times but
2874s	have people that play a lot yeah I think
2876s	I think cas is definitely in the top
2878s	like five of most matches played I think
2881s	people like anig Gad from Volta um the
2884s	is up there I know um some of the old PL
2886s	guys are are super high up there as well
2888s	which is why Casper is there um you know
2891s	he's 75 rounds probably half of them
2893s	within the arena confines which is
2894s	excellent super high ratio there you can
2896s	see as well tuskers is what they lost to
2898s	they lost the tuskers exactly they lost
2900s	the tuskers last year so they um in this
2903s	case they came and and read them like a
2904s	book I guess and in one taken down that
2907s	Flagship so pretty solid run for them so
2909s	far but look who they've come through
2910s	today not today this tournament gone
2912s	through bright side of death white
2913s	squall paper numbers and platinum
2915s	sensitivity before they reached the
2916s	tuskers those are all super experienced
2919s	teams um like you know white squalls
2921s	really good team paper numbers I believe
2923s	gave them a really good run like they
2924s	almost lost that one I think that was
2926s	the Mac one was it Ma and S one I think
2928s	can't quite remember but numbers I think
2930s	so yeah but there was I remember being
2931s	extremely close um and honestly at one
2934s	point it looked like it was going to be
2935s	a loss for THL but of course they pulled
2937s	it through the experience the the the
2939s	pilots uh managed to take the dub so uh
2943s	I think we probably have our bands for
2945s	the next match I'm not sure I'm going to
2948s	clap and see if bands appear nope no
2952s	bands TBC TBC this does not seem like
2955s	this is
2957s	okay to be confirmed confirmed I'm
2959s	pretty sure those were the bands for the
2960s	last one so we'll come back to that one
2962s	a little bit later um mystical M put
2965s	yourself in like
2968s	get in yourself in the zone in the zone
2970s	you are I'm in the captain of the
2971s	tuskers okay okay good job you got
2974s	really far okay okay your mirror you
2976s	spin the wheel mhm what are you thinking
2978s	this
2980s	time
2982s	that I I think I think those who smoke
2985s	on the tuskers team definitely got up
2987s	and went went for a little
2989s	break um the thing with mirror you know
2993s	if you'd asked about anyone else it
2994s	would have been fine the thing with
2995s	mirror is that you know the brain
2997s	doesn't work quite the same way right um
3000s	we've seen some wacky comps from tuskers
3002s	we've seen the kiting Guardians the
3004s	kiting CFI as we saw armor CFI in this
3007s	particular match right they brought a
3008s	flagship Bal gor with a armor CFI um so
3013s	it's really hard to predict exactly what
3015s	mirror is going to be bringing um but I
3017s	do expect that mirror will have a bunch
3019s	of other comps in the back pocket that
3021s	they can reach for and the the
3022s	interesting thing is tuskers is one of
3024s	those teams where because they're Theory
3026s	crafting is so diverse and few teams
3030s	will actually be practicing against any
3032s	of the comps that Tusk is going to be
3033s	bringing um it makes it very hard for
3036s	truth on the light to predict them as
3037s	well in this particular case I think
3040s	first match of the best of three you'll
3042s	think that tuskers will start strong
3044s	because then if they win they get banned
3045s	out of that comp for the rest of the
3047s	match so they'll probably bring the Bal
3048s	Gorn they'll probably bring something
3049s	around the Bal Gorn um that they expect
3053s	to win with and then the second match is
3055s	really where
3056s	they're weirder looser comps are going
3058s	to be coming in M because they've lost
3060s	that first match now I'm expecting to
3062s	see weirder comps again because they
3064s	don't have the flagship AG on to lean
3065s	back on but um yeah they might have to F
3069s	something quite specific and hope that
3072s	they get a good match up I feel like
3073s	they're going to if it really depends on
3075s	the banss right cuz if they're able to
3077s	ban out things like the Widow then
3079s	they're not going to have to bring a
3080s	comp that can deal specifically with
3081s	projection out to Long ranges um
3083s	potentially getting around some of the
3085s	tracking disruptors um or having like
3087s	local sensor boosters to deal with ECM a
3089s	bit more right but if they don't ban the
3090s	Widow then I'd expect that they might fi
3092s	something like an armor comp that has
3094s	tracking computers and local sense
3095s	boosters to allow them to project out to
3097s	where the Widow is even if they do do
3100s	start getting track and disrupted or
3101s	damed I don't think they b day don't you
3105s	no if they don't then they they'll
3107s	probably bring a rush or something
3108s	because they can still yeah they can
3109s	still do medum rail spam I mean and
3111s	widows they don't tank at all no they
3113s	don't we it's literally it's got nothing
3116s	so like it die quite quickly but the the
3118s	the problem with the Widow isn't that it
3120s	tanks or doesn't tank it's that it sits
3121s	100K away and then you can't get to it
3124s	so they they could be inspired by some
3127s	of the slip KY rushes that we've seen
3130s	yesterday um and just Tred to rush cuz
3132s	there's only so much there's only so
3134s	much screaming you can do with a few
3135s	ships but if they if truth on the
3138s	lightfield they Bal Gorn and then an
3140s	arazu or lus or something then I feel
3143s	like the Widow would then be in we've
3145s	seen a lot of teams starting B those
3147s	arazu lisus now so they clearly are
3150s	afraid of that comp um so I see that the
3153s	match is about 3 minutes away um this is
3155s	the times where it gets really hard for
3156s	the teams like you've just done a match
3158s	straight into the next one straight into
3159s	the next one against some of the best
3160s	teams in the business I was looking at
3163s	twitch chat to see how you guys are
3164s	doing and it's just occurred to me this
3166s	is not our twitchchat this is the wrong
3167s	twitch
3168s	chatus I was reading this I was thinking
3170s	what is going this is the TT for the
3172s	charity actually running at this moment
3174s	in time charity stream uh we see you
3177s	shout out to you guys sh to you guys I
3178s	was like why is everyone so generous
3179s	today they're charity I've just been
3182s	seeing giveaways going and people saying
3184s	you guys have been on for ages you must
3186s	be tied like been like 15 minutes we
3189s	haven't done anything today we hav not
3190s	done anything and I had to check I had
3191s	to pull up twitch chat on this one just
3193s	to confirm but yeah this is in fact the
3195s	wrong twitch chat Mr production room uh
3197s	hello uh if you can get that started at
3199s	some point um are we ready for bands are
3202s	we ready for bands I see yay so tusker's
3205s	cool banning at pontif effect megas I
3206s	like that good solid bands EOS and Cur
3208s	so I think they're trying not to get in
3209s	their own heads here and just ban the
3211s	things they don't want to see instead of
3213s	targeted bands uh whether that pays off
3215s	I don't know we'll figure that out no
3217s	Lees is Bann truth on light Banning the
3218s	Rapier the hugan the merher and the
3220s	augurer I I think it makes sense to not
3222s	have a lisus or razu ban because um we
3227s	got a minute because um with the lack of
3230s	battle Cruisers now that they have like
3232s	truth on light has fielded AAR abso Navy
3235s	brck Navy Harbinger right that's for
3236s	very strong armor battle cruises where
3238s	you would be getting your links so
3239s	removing the ponx Magus means that they
3241s	are very limited on the armor link ship
3243s	they can bring they really they have the
3245s	draer they have well they don't have the
3247s	EOS now they have the damnation um that
3250s	there is limited ships that they could
3251s	bring that would be good in this
3253s	particular matchup so I feel like this
3255s	is pushing them more towards uh Shield
3257s	setups so it'll be interesting to see
3259s	what they bring yeah let's head over to
3260s	the arena and find out for match two of
3262s	the tuskers Cole versus truth on a light
3267s	welcome back to the arena guys and we
3268s	have a new version of gun spam I like to
3270s	call this the ABC spam because both
3271s	teams have brought a significant amount
3273s	of assault battle Cruisers yeah it's uh
3275s	it's large guns not medium guns uh for
3278s	uh tuskers they have brought rail
3280s	taluses alongside some oracles a Loi for
3283s	some webs and some more control kitsun
3285s	and mollus and Carries meanwhile uh
3289s	Hydra THL have brought what was a shield
3292s	medium gun spam but they have two large
3294s	gun chips in real is so uh we'll see how
3299s	many broad sides of barns these large
3302s	Long Range Guns can hit but we are now
3305s	underway control bar already filling up
3307s	for tuskers as they try to get damps on
3309s	these nagas and a paint onto this
3310s	fantasm Navy fck also going to be damped
3312s	out as the St is the primary once again
3314s	from each Naga probably has a paint I'm
3316s	going to double check that for you but
3318s	yeah I see the paints going out onto the
3319s	tuska side means there is a paint coming
3321s	from somewhere and I can't see Bally
3322s	what ship it is so I'm
3324s	assuming uh maybe not no Maybe not maybe
3327s	maybe I'm imagining things but either
3328s	way this is going to be an absolute
3330s	Brawl for sure there so much damage on
3331s	truth on the out side where Tusk is
3333s	little less damage lot more control and
3335s	a lot more trouble with tracking
3336s	normally ABCs are not exactly the most
3338s	accurate of ships uh I mean I mean you
3340s	tell that to the average NATO Fleet that
3342s	comes in your area all right yeah they
3344s	require warping at 200 hitting it Target
3346s	hasn't moved I mean yes but look at the
3349s	carries either way that Carri is tanking
3352s	up quite a bit actually starting to dip
3354s	in but he's got Guardian reps so we know
3355s	all truth on her light uh they have
3357s	brought nopre so only tech one Cruiser
3359s	logistics for them obviously mjd's from
3361s	nagas hold on a second am I saying this
3363s	correctly are these B nagas where are
3364s	they going hold on he's going to the
3366s	beacon behind I think okay okay okay
3368s	were those off the mjd beacon I didn't
3370s	quite see and I believe that was a self
3372s	I believe that was a self fantasm dead
3374s	Okay so bagas let's go love to see bagas
3377s	fantasm dead off the bat though tuskers
3379s	were able to track it and meanwhile TR
3381s	under light one of the TS ABC's lot of
3383s	damage less so on the HP compared to uh
3387s	your typical combat BCS and this TS is
3390s	absolutely melting right now yeah well
3391s	they're melting not quite as fast as
3393s	melted yeah yeah so this is um lots of
3396s	damage so ABCs are actually well known
3398s	for high damage big guns not very much
3400s	tank just consider them an upgraded uh
3402s	stealth bomber and they're honestly for
3403s	a while they one of the best ships in
3405s	Eve they've taken a bit of a backseat
3406s	nowadays but they still can do a potent
3409s	amount of dam I mean seeing real tses in
3411s	the alliance tournament is not something
3413s	I think anyone expected the tuskers onto
3416s	this other NAU Naga a verdict so trying
3418s	to get the other Attack Battle Cruisers
3420s	down as Mir and the toos receiving
3422s	Guardian reps right now seems to be
3424s	tanking up okay but still bleeding armor
3426s	as this Saga verdict has actually gotten
3428s	out of range and uh is repping up quite
3431s	nicely off the S spre just interesting
3433s	to see where this match is going to go
3434s	cuz both teams have killed off a few
3436s	damage ships though yeah lot of the team
3438s	on truth on the light has been actually
3440s	held down as well so tuskers do have the
3442s	mobility here but it's just it's such a
3444s	weird match but a MOA is about to get
3446s	deleted there we go and honestly tuskers
3448s	might actually have this with this wacky
3450s	comp I love it so much they have a
3452s	carries and hasn't gotten a whole lot of
3454s	gems in on the ospre we actually see the
3455s	ospre not going doing any reps right now
3458s	but uh still this Tallow is staying
3460s	alive under the guardian reps truth
3461s	Hunter light they've lost three of their
3462s	DPS ships including their Naga which is
3464s	going to be the highest one of their
3465s	nagas which is going to be their highest
3467s	DPS possible we see the Loki of flak
3469s	Inquisitor also webbed up right now
3470s	tackled painted but the webs keep
3473s	turning on and off they're trying to get
3474s	these damps down and get this lowkey uh
3477s	out of Dodge into safety because the
3478s	snaga is GNA hurt real bad into that
3481s	Loki yep yep yep and I'm just watching
3482s	other other ships like I think mirror is
3484s	actually well safe now these ABCs do
3485s	have good range they can apply good a
3487s	good distance but as you can see they
3488s	can apply well enough but it's also they
3491s	also need a quick changing ammos the
3493s	Oracle going to be constantly flicking
3494s	between amamos trying to kill things
3496s	this is we don't see matches like this
3498s	this is honestly way different even
3499s	though it looks pretty much the same
3501s	bringing ABCs is a different experience
3502s	yeah that's Naga a verdict already down
3505s	very low Shield um this carry is trying
3508s	to get the jam on the off spray so they
3510s	can finally break through verdict uh
3512s	that lowkey a significant chunk of the
3514s	points from tuskers that is uh alongside
3516s	their Guardian the highest point value
3517s	ship on their team meanwhile this
3519s	carries getting armor reps right now the
3521s	tals also seems to be getting some
3523s	damage from THL and tuskar aren't
3525s	breaking through anything right now yeah
3527s	I'm just kind of like I've been
3528s	following a few lines having a bit of
3529s	fun would you like to know where the
3531s	target painter on the tuskers team
3533s	currently is like what's doing it the
3535s	oracle sounds about right for
3538s	tus like that doesn't probably not the
3539s	most insane thing but I'm just kind of
3541s	amused VTO oh very low getting those
3544s	guardy interupts once again and we see
3545s	damps onto the Navy ferrox and Naga
3547s	scram on the Navy Ferro of blue melon as
3549s	well but tuskers still haven't been able
3551s	to punch anything through since that
3553s	first Naga fantasma MOA kill the Naga
3556s	receiving the Reps the carries very low
3558s	the paint
3559s	hitting the low end on tuskers have been
3561s	doing a lot of work in control here if
3562s	they lose that carries it's going to be
3563s	much more Awkward for them
3566s	there we go look at that there's some
3569s	and now they should switch back and just
3570s	delete the Oracle jger Mor is doing the
3572s	Lord's work in this Guardian right now
3574s	meanwhile truth onor light they're still
3576s	getting reps out onto this fantasm uh
3578s	that the tuskers are primarying it just
3580s	doesn't seem this Carri is actually
3581s	Landing any jams onto this ospre in fact
3583s	isn't even trying to jam out the ospre
3585s	right now kitsun cars kitsun they both
3588s	start with a k they're both uh
3590s	electronic attack ships you don't worry
3593s	they're both absolute uh nightmares to
3595s	fight on TQ shall we say car's fully
3597s	tanked now they need to look at that
3600s	look at that they realize they couldn't
3601s	kill the carries switched they went
3603s	straight for the other Oracle now that's
3604s	that's good but at the same time this
3606s	ospray pretty low Lucas Quan about to
3608s	dip into uh armor as the guardian trying
3611s	to get the Reps on the Oracle as best
3612s	they can now they got the web on Ace
3614s	echo in the Oracle as well uh Guardian
3617s	trying to split reps right now keep
3618s	these oracles alive the paint the Reps
3620s	kill on landing on Ace Echo meanwhile
3622s	this Osprey has stayed alive for so long
3624s	Lucas Quan finally in armor but the
3626s	oracle down yep yep yep oracles usually
3628s	are one of the first things that die
3630s	when it comes to when they get brought
3631s	in comps but this time the oracles have
3632s	managed to survive to Midway through the
3633s	match and yeah good Target calling from
3635s	T THL as well whenever they couldn't
3637s	kill something they would Swap and hit
3638s	the next thing and just keep the
3639s	guardian on his toes and they managed to
3641s	get away with it that time still a very
3642s	close match two Attack Battle Cruisers
3644s	to one the Osprey about to go Lucas Quan
3646s	in very very low structure just takes
3649s	one more hit to get that ospray down and
3652s	there it goes 74 to 78 the points are
3654s	very close we have about 4 minutes left
3656s	in this match glassie Vu going to be the
3658s	primary from truth honor light can the
3659s	guardian land the Reps in time I don't
3661s	think so glassie goes down and Truth
3662s	honor light have taken out all but one
3664s	remaining attack battle cruiser yes
3666s	interesting thing as well is that Lucas
3667s	qu in that ospre he didn't just stay and
3669s	die he did what good parts do burnt away
3672s	tried to buy time get out of the range
3673s	of the good damage ammo and he died
3676s	about a good 80 90k I think from the
3678s	actual fight which Probably sounds bad
3680s	but also means that he was able to
3681s	survive and maybe come back in later we
3682s	actually see the shield comp starting to
3684s	burn in on this tal the Moa and the
3686s	fantas F Navy all trying to get close
3689s	range ammo on the TS break through the
3691s	guardian reps truth Hunter light a
3692s	massive attack bar right now but they're
3695s	jammed out they are damped out this Naga
3698s	a verdict very low doesn't have the logy
3700s	to save them this time around yep they
3701s	they just need to over kill the Naga
3703s	otherwise this team is going to go by by
3705s	the guardian just needs one two more
3706s	ships down to be able to save his friend
3707s	but it's looking rough sa the car sa
3711s	structure the carry is very low and all
3712s	the rep are on the TS the carries trying
3715s	to stay alive morome goes down and this
3718s	Naga a verdict into low structure can
3721s	tusers break him before Talos goes down
3723s	he's now into structure himself goes
3725s	very low and the Naga ends up falling
3727s	first but the Talos still very low the
3729s	guardian trying to get the Reps in Mira
3732s	about to fall can THL break through look
3735s	at the rep okay okay I think the
3737s	guardian maybe might have saved T
3738s	because they're not switching to the
3739s	guardian now but I think never mind T's
3741s	about to go never mind I called that too
3742s	early my bad and that is all the DPS on
3745s	tuskers truth light moving on to the
3747s	Grand finals 20 over the tuskers co and
3751s	the tuskers are going to have to face
3753s	Platinum sensitivity in the lower
3756s	bracket finals uh truth honor light and
3758s	platin sensitivity they played each
3759s	other earlier I casted that match in
3762s	local truth honor light did say to uh
3765s	Platinum sensitivity we'll see you in
3767s	finals so truth honor light has some uh
3771s	faith in Platinum sensitivity versus
3772s	this tuskers squad as the tuskers still
3775s	top three but but they've got to play
3777s	through that lower bracket finals if
3778s	they want to win the at and I going to
3780s	say I think and I might be might be
3781s	exaggerating I think it's probably the
3782s	hardest fight THL had the entire
3784s	tournament I think if I remember bring
3786s	the matches correctly this might have
3787s	been the hardest one they've had and it
3789s	is such a wild match as well like big
3791s	respect to both teams in this one I
3792s	can't wait to see if Tusk managed to win
3794s	the next match and come back that'd be
3796s	great but uh THL well
3799s	done here's a yep goodbye he's gone
3802s	Guardian Edge of Glory where's that
3804s	capsule end up Landing no in enough oh
3806s	come on I break the record of aour and
3809s	Argent come on M's down tuskers going to
3813s	lose their kit soon in stor and we're
3814s	going to end this match uh what are your
3816s	final thoughts before we send it to a
3818s	break welcome to the tuskers a crazy Lan
3820s	they bring weird comps and uh
3822s	fortunately THL saw it coming and they
3824s	beat it also brought I think a weird
3826s	comp themselves I mean Attack Battle
3828s	cruises in the at this is really fun to
3830s	see we're going to take a quick break
3831s	when we return the dusk is going to
3832s	break that down and bring us into the
3834s	lower bracket finals after another break
3836s	break we'll be right back after
3852s	this truth on a light taking the series
3855s	2-n so they don't drop a match tuskers
3858s	uh I mean that was close it was close
3860s	that was really close that tals at the
3862s	end there he was tanking with this that
3863s	sliver left and we were watching him
3865s	like if he tanks this you you were
3866s	convinced M convinced he tank now yeah
3869s	that I thought the tals would survive
3871s	once the N went down it looked like they
3872s	were swapping to the guardian because
3873s	they also thought the same thing but the
3875s	fantasm was super close peted by brain
3878s	straw we had the mo also burning in to
3879s	get tackle um I saw that they were both
3881s	overheating on and off so I saw
3884s	brainstore going like 1,800 meters a
3886s	second in the fantasm at one point and
3888s	then mirror is like no just starts
3890s	overheating as well to try and stay
3892s	ahead but yeah just just wasn't enough
3893s	it was seriously very very close yeah
3896s	that's one of those matches that like
3897s	maybe the score line will look look
3899s	different uh like it basically came down
3901s	to a couple of seconds of difference
3903s	here and there like if one extra rep
3905s	cycle had landed before that Talis had
3907s	died or like one shot had missed or not
3908s	done so well he maybe survived I mean I
3911s	think the major turning point was when
3913s	the Loki managed to get itself tackled
3915s	yes in Black in yeah it he got himself
3918s	killed it was it the fact that Loki went
3920s	down is seriously where the match began
3923s	to fall AP apart for the tuskers um I
3926s	don't see any real reason why the Loki
3928s	would get tackled by
3930s	MOA no but I might just be bad I might
3933s	be the bad one here I mean it's got the
3935s	ability to keep things at range it's it
3938s	main it's its main party trick is to be
3940s	like I see you coming towards me hold
3943s	yeah it it is I think just a case of
3947s	there there's so many moving Parts
3948s	especially in a comp like this where
3950s	you've got Navy ferox is burning at you
3951s	you've got naga's burning at you you've
3953s	got the stalks as well you've got
3957s	there's so many different things that
3958s	you need to be trying to control and
3959s	keep away from the core um that one or
3963s	two things might slip through you need
3964s	also the Loki web range is not that
3966s	great right it's actually about 30 to 32
3970s	km I think Tech anyone is the LOI Kil
3974s	Mill appeared yet I wanted to have a
3975s	look at it I don't think it has that's
3976s	unfortunate and also it's quite easy for
3978s	him to get overwhelmed like you said
3979s	yeah like he's at some point I mean they
3981s	were kiting tuskers were kiting away
3983s	these matches are incredibly stressful
3986s	like I've been in a bunch of them um in
3988s	various tournaments over the years and
3990s	it doesn't matter how many times you do
3991s	it when you're warping in like you feel
3993s	the heart rate go up and then like you
3995s	get why they do it why that's why they
3997s	play this cuz you don't get that already
3999s	anywhere else remember back in I think
4000s	it was Amar championships I went in and
4004s	then went to because at the time I was
4006s	like a bit of a click enjoyer and I went
4008s	to click to overheat my guns just as the
4010s	match time was about to start like like
4012s	1 second ago and I missed it instead of
4015s	clicking on the overheat I unstacked all
4017s	my guns and then I panic turned them all
4019s	on individually and then had to panic
4022s	overheat each one individually I mean
4024s	you're committed at that point go for
4027s	made mistakes in life I must go yeah but
4030s	yeah so the way this now works uh tusker
4032s	now Dro to the lower bracket um they
4034s	these best of Threes uh we don't play
4036s	the last match uh it would be just
4038s	unfair to make them play again um
4041s	because they've already lost the Series
4043s	we will see them again in about 50 50
4044s	minutes or so where they will play play
4046s	Platinum sensitivity in the lower
4047s	bracket final so uh truth on the light
4049s	will advance to the Grand Final we'll
4051s	see them again later they are now
4053s	confirmed at least second place and who
4056s	they play in the Grand Final will depend
4058s	on who wins between Platinum sensitivity
4060s	and the tuskers in another best of three
4062s	so tuskers have got to you know clear
4064s	the mind get ready they've got time
4066s	they've got time they've got 40 minutes
4067s	it's not a huge amount of time not a
4069s	massive amount of time it's not a mass
4070s	am of time the B conversation is
4071s	probably already
4073s	open stressful but that was another mirr
4076s	I think that comp armor Tales armor
4079s	oracles I liked it I think both of those
4080s	comps like you pointed out Mr G both of
4082s	those comps were like if you bring a
4084s	widow we kill the Widow they they were
4087s	high DPS projection comps that would be
4090s	hard to account for because we haven't
4091s	really seen them use much we've seen
4093s	nagas actually used and Talos is used in
4095s	the feeders where they did fairly well
4097s	um and I think with the few piloting
4098s	changes in those matches that team would
4100s	have made it into the actual at but yeah
4102s	it it's um those are both comps where if
4105s	there is a Widow that's sitting at about
4107s	100 km you will be able to shoot it with
4109s	some of your ships yep I really the
4112s	carries the kitsun was going to bring it
4115s	free for tuskers yeah the carries and
4117s	the there was some amazing individual
4119s	piloting go on on both sides there like
4122s	the the carries surviving for for way
4124s	longer than he had any right to be the
4126s	uh the logistics on both sides uh were
4128s	just constantly keeping up with the
4129s	target swapping moving around positional
4131s	wise amazing like just to clear like
4134s	excellent job everybody all around all
4136s	right so we're going to come back in
4137s	about 45 minutes or so for uh the Tusk
4140s	Co versus platinum sensitivity in their
4141s	best of three but in the meantime we'll
4143s	throw to a splash screen and then I
4145s	shall be replaced by CCP tin CCB xtype
4148s	and CC CCB Mirage to talk about some
4150s	cool stuff to do with
4152s	Skinner welcome back folks to the break

4198s	you've been here for S and a half years
4199s	CP Mirage you've been here for eight
4201s	almost eight I think yeah almost eight
4203s	eight November so you guys you guys have
4204s	seen your fair share of stuff I mean
4207s	you've seen people come and go you've
4208s	seen you know the game kind of progress
4210s	you know into uh you know from where it
4214s	was you know back in the what we would
4216s	like the houseon days till now or we've
4218s	kind of you know we're changing
4220s	adjusting moving forward um and
4222s	throughout all of this the alliance
4223s	tournament has kind of stayed consistent
4225s	I mean it's been the one thing that
4226s	people just keep coming back to it's
4228s	changed over time as well but CP Mirage
4230s	I want to ask you since this is your
4232s	first time here at the desk you are one
4235s	of these people who is more forward
4237s	facing in the company you do all the the
4239s	pulse uh yeah there we go the merch do
4244s	all the PSE the voice of new Eden why is
4247s	something like this so important why is
4249s	this stuff so so so necessary not just
4252s	as you know for the gamers The Gamers at
4255s	home but for our company as well uh at
4259s	specifically of course well I mean just
4261s	in the last few minutes just standing
4262s	here um between the matches watching the
4265s	commentators watch the matches yeah the
4268s	the level of PVP PVP prowess on display
4271s	just in the conversation was astounding
4273s	like genuine I'm not much of a pvper
4276s	myself but just listening to them talk
4278s	and the way they were analyzing the
4279s	match it just uh I think it's a great
4281s	opportunity for the members of Staff
4283s	here to demonstrate how much passion
4284s	they have for the game
4286s	and uh we had of course a presentation
4288s	recently from one of the community team
4290s	members about the significance of the
4292s	the alliance tournament through the
4293s	company to the game to the fans to the
4295s	players to the alliances and uh it was
4297s	really touching actually it was um it
4300s	was a it was a deep cut because you
4302s	understand just how incredible the
4304s	players are just how much of a skill
4306s	level they've reached to be able to
4307s	compete like this and just also the the
4310s	reaction to the match for example in the
4312s	best of three like in that time they've
4313s	got between match one and match two to
4315s	spin up another comp and you know take
4317s	attention of the bands and then go at it
4319s	full Pelt it's just incredible well and
4321s	and you mentioned something that I I it
4323s	feels important to me and CPX we talked
4326s	about this a little bit last week just I
4328s	mean seeing you know obviously we have
4330s	people here from all over the country
4332s	all the world right now we have folks
4333s	from the you know the states and from
4335s	the you elsewhere in Europe and from
4337s	Australia and all over the place and
4339s	seeing everybody come here seeing it all
4340s	just kind of work together and be a
4342s	functional unit like as a player as
4345s	somebody who's played the game for as
4346s	long as you know you have as long as I
4348s	have like that's got to make you feel
4350s	something right yeah I mean when you see
4352s	like all of these people coming here and
4353s	working basically non-stop throughout
4355s	the weekend and it's like you know it's
4356s	just a work of passion right and we're
4358s	all like super excited to see the
4359s	matches to see you know like the tension
4362s	you have especially when we get to these
4363s	later stages where every match every
4365s	like ship killed has like a lot of
4367s	meaning and it's just super cool to see
4369s	everybody so you know you know excited
4372s	about it and and still you know as CCP
4375s	Mirage said like you know the the level
4376s	of expertise and the like the analysis
4380s	that goes into all of this stuff is
4381s	super super impressive I love it well I
4384s	I obviously absolutely agree uh so I
4386s	want to talk to you two gentlemen as
4387s	well about something that is perhaps a
4389s	little bit closer to your hearts or at
4391s	least a little bit closer to your day
4392s	jobs we didn't touch on this last uh
4395s	last week but we just because of time
4398s	constraints but uh CCP xtype and CCP
4401s	Mirage we're going to get to your
4402s	involvement in this very shortly but CCP
4404s	X Type you you so you're a developer
4406s	here yep youve you're an engineer and
4408s	what have you been working on over the
4410s	last couple months so uh last couple of
4412s	months and even last couple of years
4414s	really like uh I've been working on
4416s	everything that has to do with like like
4418s	your identity in the game and
4419s	personalization so and this journey kind
4422s	of started with ship emblems and then
4423s	with like the structure uh you know
4426s	skins and now we've moved into you know
4428s	uh Skinner uh and so I've been working
4431s	on that more like we keep you know like
4433s	we only started a journey with Skinner
4435s	right and we're we're we're just at the
4437s	you know yeah I would even say just the
4438s	biging still and so we're still working
4440s	on this adding new features polishing
4442s	the existing ones so that's my main
4443s	focus well and so CP Mirage let me let
4446s	me talk to you for just a moment about
4447s	the Skinner tool because we so this is
4449s	the alliance tournament right we're in
4451s	this kind we're in this this mode we're
4453s	in this you know it's it's it's like
4454s	this is our Super Bowl right this is
4456s	this is the the the event that groups
4458s	can you know rally around their teams
4460s	and show their team spirit and you know
4462s	get out there and win one for the boys
4464s	we the time Act have to that well I was
4467s	going to say we got Mariah Carey
4468s	backstage I don't know if she knows that
4471s	but so but we're in this we're in this
4473s	mode where we this is very much a
4475s	community focused event you know this is
4477s	not just for the players but also for
4478s	the people at home watching for the
4480s	people who are you know maybe who
4482s	haven't played the game in a long time
4483s	but have an identity with one of these
4485s	groups I mean we've seen huge numbers
4487s	especially when we have one of you know
4488s	one of the bigger null blocks
4490s	participating in the contest you can see
4491s	numbers Spike up in chat when those
4493s	groups are participating and you know
4494s	throughout the entire contest we've seen
4496s	people you know have some affiliation
4498s	with one group or another what when we
4500s	talk about the scanner we talk about
4502s	these identity tools what value is that
4504s	not just to to you know us as a company
4507s	like oh you know this is something else
4508s	that we can sell or whatever but but
4510s	more for the players like what does what
4512s	does that offer to them well I'm not
4515s	actually in an alliance myself or even a
4517s	corporation but as a as a player as a
4519s	solo player that's how I play uh there
4521s	is still a huge amount of value in this
4523s	for me so while I'm not creating my own
4526s	skins for representation and kind of
4528s	like as a uniform to be you know in sync
4532s	with the with those I fly with sure I
4534s	just I spend a lot of time creating my
4535s	own skins yeah and uh and I I show them
4537s	off on Twitter as well like when I do
4538s	them and it could be in in deference to
4541s	a video game I like or a racing team I
4543s	like or just so for me being able to do
4545s	this and I and I play a little I think
4547s	strangely when I play I play zoomed in
4550s	so I don't have the Tactical camera on I
4551s	play zoom in so I'm constantly looking
4553s	at my sh scroll wheel broke some years
4554s	ago he just not got
4556s	no I wish I had that excuse so actually
4558s	the Aesthetics of the game matter hugely
4560s	to me what what I fly I mean when
4561s	emblems came in that was fantastic I
4563s	actually made my own Corp just to be
4565s	able to fly my own emblem yeah and then
4567s	as soon as Skinner is in I get to create
4569s	my own skins so I've spent huge amounts
4571s	in game on elements Design Elements I
4574s	made sure I was uh running the Crimson
4577s	Harvest to a to get the blood spatter at
4578s	the end cuz and I absolutely wanted to
4580s	have that on the ship so for me it's
4582s	huge I understand of course that you
4584s	know being able to represent your group
4586s	your organization with one uniform skin
4588s	and you all to fly into battle looking
4590s	and you know looking as good as each
4591s	other that's huge also especially if you
4593s	match it to your structure as I like
4594s	that's even better but yeah even
4596s	personally as a Solo solo player it's
4598s	it's huge for me I mean it it does feel
4600s	like you know there has been complaints
4602s	in the past that Eve is a little sterile
4604s	now I don't know whether or not I agree
4605s	with that obviously the aesthetic of Eve
4607s	was always something that you know
4608s	appealed to me as a youth but there was
4610s	a lot of Grays and a lot of dark greens
4611s	and a lot of dark blues and now we have
4613s	this this new explosion of identity this
4615s	new explosion of color and that has come
4617s	with its benefits and its detriments we
4620s	saw a certain Vindicator skin over the
4623s	last couple days CCP X Type now I want
4626s	to let me ask you a question as a
4627s	Creator as the father one of the fathers
4630s	of this
4632s	tool does it fill your heart with a
4634s	certain kind
4636s	of like a dark dark feeling of like oh
4640s	what have I done when you see something
4642s	that is just a true abomination
4645s	appearing in space I think it's fine you
4647s	don't like have to like art for it to be
4650s	art you know and I'm color blind so it's
4653s	a unique for me too you know so I think
4655s	I think it's fine uh like of course like
4658s	you're going to see some skins and
4659s	you're like cringing a bit because it's
4661s	like oh I couldn't get worse but then
4663s	like it's all about like letting the
4664s	players do what they want and if they
4667s	want to fly a ship that is you know
4668s	rainbow collor then perfect and that
4671s	that's great and and I think that's the
4672s	main thing with with Skinner is like we
4675s	just let players do what they want and
4678s	they can show it off to other players
4680s	and and and like the the kind of the
4684s	next step in our journey is also to to
4686s	make it even better for organizations
4687s	whether it's corporations or Alliance of
4689s	course to have more unity and like you
4691s	know like tag this to the next level but
4693s	even just this first step as CCP Mirage
4695s	mentioned like even as a solo player you
4697s	want to play around with this and and
4699s	express your identity through your skins
4701s	so yeah so you know you mentioned this a
4703s	little bit just a second ago but the we
4706s	would you consider I mean this obviously
4707s	the SK school is still a a work in
4709s	progress it is still in development uh
4711s	obviously we have released a version of
4712s	it that is fairly robust but still is
4715s	you know lacking some of the the
4717s	elements that we're looking forward to
4718s	and we're still seeing stuff on the
4720s	horizon then you would say do you feel
4723s	like there's there's you know anything
4726s	that you guys have had to sit down you
4727s	know when we say like oh well we got to
4728s	give power to the players like is there
4730s	a fear in there anywhere that you're
4731s	like ah maybe we've given them too much
4733s	power uh not really I mean like the the
4737s	there was like some you know discussions
4739s	uh mostly with the the artistic
4741s	Direction okay can we allow any
4744s	combination and the early version of the
4747s	Skinner before it was released like
4748s	early this year like there were more
4751s	restrictions that we actually pulled
4753s	before release because they were
4755s	initially like came coming from our
4757s	Direction saying okay this and this is
4758s	just not going to work but then when
4760s	people started playing with it
4761s	internally we realized what the hell
4763s	like just open the flood gate right and
4766s	and so no I mean it's uh yeah go pink
4769s	yeah no doubt CCP Mirage I and I want to
4773s	be very clear here because he's not
4775s	kidding he absolutely As and we're on
4776s	that camera over there he's not kidding
4778s	CP Mirage spends a ton of time in our
4781s	internal company slack uh sharing
4783s	designs sharing new things he's been
4784s	working on and honestly kind of an art
4786s	Savant uh I'm not even on this kind of
4788s	team but I'm I'm a constant hassle in
4790s	that I was goingon to say just just
4792s	perhaps maybe it's most uh it's most
4795s	consistent user certainly do you ever
4797s	feel and I I say this knowing that there
4799s	are there's more in store for us very
4801s	shortly as we look forward to the
4803s	Revenant expansion do you ever feel just
4805s	Paralyzed by choice when you're looking
4807s	you know you have a ship you have you
4808s	know a variety of different designs you
4810s	have a variety of different colors you
4811s	have all these different these these
4813s	you've got the matte things and you've
4814s	got the the shiny things and you've got
4817s	all all these different options you ever
4818s	feel just like a kid at a candy store
4820s	just you know Paralyzed by how many
4822s	different things you you you know how
4823s	many different toys you can get your
4824s	hands on
4825s	yeah um I love how much there is
4828s	available I love the options but also at
4830s	the same time I'm I really know exactly
4832s	what I want for example I I know that I
4835s	would love it available on on all the
4837s	ships eventually uh and as you've seen
4839s	in the InFocus series we've got the
4840s	second pattern coming so that is not
4842s	just double the options it's like and of
4844s	course I've played with it yeah with the
4846s	second pan and I know what's um I know
4848s	what's possible so I'm I'm just sitting
4850s	here waiting for the expansion to land
4851s	so I can go and put those things on my
4853s	ships because yes obviously I've got the
4855s	version on test server perhaps so I love
4857s	that design I can't wait to do that when
4859s	it's on main server but yeah there's a
4862s	lot of options available and if there
4863s	were a lot available before with this
4865s	update it's going to be loads available
4868s	but I spend so much time in the tool and
4870s	when you are familiar with the tool say
4872s	you add one new pattern or you add uh
4875s	for example being able to use all the
4876s	colors on a tech slot sure then you sort
4879s	of you get into it really quickly it
4881s	doesn't take long for it to become part
4882s	of your your routine to to test out how
4885s	does this look how does that look now
4886s	what if I switch this around you get
4888s	into a flow with it and you you almost
4889s	have this design methodology so every
4892s	time you get a new pattern or you get a
4893s	new color kind of go to the same ships I
4896s	kind of try the same thing I like okay
4898s	how does this look and then it'll open
4900s	the Avenue right I think this will work
4901s	better on that ship and obviously I
4903s	focus on the ships I fly the most so
4905s	that's kind of where my attention goes
4906s	immediately course well and I'm actually
4908s	glad we brought you in here specifically
4909s	CP Mirage because there there has been a
4910s	sentiment you know I read a lot of
4912s	Reddit probably shouldn't but I do uh
4914s	there has been a sentiment recently that
4916s	CCP really only cares if you're in a
4918s	group you know the game is only designed
4920s	for people who who want to play in Big
4921s	Blocks or bigger groups and a lot of
4923s	these tools that we're pushing
4924s	especially you know the corporation
4925s	tools uh or the cor projects tools
4927s	rather uh and obviously the Skinner tool
4929s	really only makes sense if you're in a
4930s	big group with a big old block and blah
4932s	blah blah blah blah blah but having
4933s	somebody who's a solo pilot who plays
4934s	the game in a more intimate way than
4937s	somebody who like for me for example or
4939s	I'm sure C CPX type as well who has been
4941s	you know one of these people who boxes a
4942s	couple characters and sees Eve as just
4944s	the dots on his screen scen you do you
4947s	feel like you get the same kind of value
4949s	out of this as somebody who is you know
4952s	they're they're their whole thing is
4953s	brand identity and trying to make sure
4954s	everybody's consistent with the you know
4956s	you've got you know goon directors for
4958s	example make sure everybody's got you
4959s	know yellow and black stripes do you
4961s	feel like you have maybe a a more
4964s	intimate connection with your your your
4966s	internal brand than um or rather a a
4970s	comparable connection to your internal
4971s	brand is somebody who is trying to make
4972s	it for their entire Alliance h
4975s	I can't say that it's more intimate sure
4978s	but um I have my own head Cannon when I
4981s	play no no doubt about it and uh when I
4983s	do design skins for my ships I I have
4985s	created a skin line for myself so I do
4987s	kind of in some way try to keep it
4989s	uniform across my ships but I also like
4992s	to experiment of course um do I find it
4996s	more I don't know um I know that I
4999s	experienced the game differently to to a
5000s	lot of people but also that helps me in
5002s	my job because when it comes to maybe
5005s	creating a a screenshot or doing shots
5007s	for the pulse I'm really Keen to to show
5009s	off certain things like I know how I
5011s	play and I know the ships that I use so
5013s	you might see them featured a little bit
5014s	more in a pulse segment or on a recent
5016s	screenshot for example we had a fleet of
5018s	kikim moras with with a skin that I had
5020s	designed against the background that I
5022s	really liked it wasn't the cord of
5023s	elements I think it was Pool of Radiance
5025s	it was it was in the background so it
5027s	definitely has an impact on on what I do
5029s	here uh and when we do a pulse episode
5031s	for example if I'm doing a segment on
5033s	just recently we were doing a segment on
5035s	uh the new officers mhm and uh so we
5038s	wanted to fit a ship to to go out and
5040s	and film this segment and I was uh
5042s	fitting up a legion cuz we just put a
5043s	skin in for a legion certainly and just
5045s	discovered how have I been without this
5047s	ship this entire time so everything I'm
5048s	doing right now in Crimson Harvest
5049s	racking up the is and getting to the end
5051s	is in order to afford myself a nice
5053s	juicy Legion that I can go out and
5055s	experience so my gameplay sort of feeds
5058s	itself like I I find a ship I like um if
5060s	I design a skin or or a skin comes out
5063s	for a ship I really like that kind of
5065s	leads my gameplay I want to spend more
5066s	time in that ship so I'll find out what
5068s	does that ship do oh yeah is this purely
5069s	an exploration ship can I do anything
5071s	Solo in this ship can I now take on
5073s	content that I couldn't take on before
5075s	uh CCP Swift actually gifted me a tangu
5077s	last year called it happy birthday on my
5079s	birthday and I realized that I can now
5081s	run um like five out of 10 uh gista five
5084s	out of 10 in that ship so I started
5086s	being able to access that content cuz it
5089s	open that pathway for kind of sucks he
5090s	hasn't given me [ __ ] uh I to have a talk
5093s	about this that kind of sucks
5095s	uh no problem CB Swift I don't want cool
5098s	Tango it's not a big deal I lost the
5100s	tangu if it helps it doesn't but I
5102s	appreciate you saying that um well let's
5104s	I'm going ask one more question here as
5106s	we're you know we're obviously we're
5107s	getting you know through this thing we
5108s	still got a little bit ways to go in
5110s	this break so you know everybody will
5112s	you'll still have time to get up and
5113s	stretch the legs and get out and get
5114s	some to drink and all that stuff CCP X
5116s	type one more thing that's major about
5119s	this is one of the speaking of the
5121s	Legion and the Tango there are still
5122s	ships missing from the the Skinner line
5124s	lineup obviously and I mean there I hate
5127s	to say this there are structures missing
5128s	too Ian there are a whole line of lovely
5131s	faction forars that just don't have skin
5135s	options and CCX I guess I you know not
5138s	to put you on the spot or anything
5139s	though I am definitely putting you on
5140s	the spot is that something you know that
5142s	and like the the the pirate battles or
5145s	the pirate uh dreadnots and all these
5147s	other things are those things we might
5148s	see sometime in the future yeah I mean
5150s	like most of the things that you can't
5152s	skin are it's it's not really a gameplay
5155s	choice in most cases it's it's more like
5158s	you know technical the tech 3 ships are
5160s	a great example they're modular uh I
5163s	mean I'm not going to go into all of the
5164s	tech stuff and I'm not a graphics
5165s	engineer so I probably would have did it
5167s	wrong but like it's it's it's they're
5169s	much harder to you know fit with the
5171s	skin system and so like most of the
5173s	things that are currently excluded it's
5175s	more okay like we you know we can't do
5178s	it right now or we would have to you
5180s	know uh work like put a lot more effort
5183s	for this so we we'd rather okay maybe
5185s	it's time you know drops the one that we
5187s	can just address right now so we focus
5189s	more on the feature itself but yet this
5191s	is definitely the plan to you know bring
5192s	as as much as we can in there um not
5195s	going to give timelines just going to be
5196s	a soon TM it's okay soon TM works for me
5199s	all right gentlemen well listen we're
5201s	getting here towards the end of this
5202s	thing I know folks in chat are probably
5203s	wanting to know why we're not talking
5205s	more about the alliance tournament
5207s	friends you have a full day of Alliance
5209s	tournament trust me you will hear plenty
5211s	about the alliance tournament we're not
5212s	going anywhere um and and a lot people
5215s	talking about somebody named CeCe I'm
5216s	pretty sure I was I was talking about
5218s	Mariah Carey earlier that's our half M
5220s	Now The Cece I don't know who this this
5222s	person is uh so we're going to ignore
5224s	hot dog aimu oh hot dog aimu was so good
5227s	it was and day one too like right out
5228s	the gate fantastic well listen we got
5231s	three teams left in the alliance

5289s	spend it folks thank you so much CCB
5291s	Mirage CCB exite for joining me today at
5293s	the desk folks we still got about 20
5295s	minutes 20ish minutes left before we

5299s	stretch go outside touch grass come back
5302s	inside close the doors blinds Windows
5304s	whatever you got to do and we have more
5306s	spaceship violence coming up for you
5308s	here soon and day four of the alliance
5310s	tournament we'll be back in just a
5311s	little bit hello and welcome back to
5313s	Alliance tournament 20 we are getting
5316s	close to the pointy end of the stick
5318s	here just thinking back to all the
5320s	matches we've seen so far not only just
5322s	in this tournament today yesterday and
5325s	last weekend but also way back to the
5326s	feeders and everything that's kind of
5327s	led to where we are now it is an
5329s	exciting set of matches we got coming up
5331s	this is our lower bracket final this is
5333s	another best of three between Platinum
5336s	sensitivity and the tuskers co tuskers
5338s	just lost 2N to truth on a light they
5340s	lost their Flagship as well so they're
5342s	going to have to get composed and try
5343s	and come back and take a w here if they
5346s	want to have another chance to face
5347s	truth onon aite in the final truth onon
5349s	aite have locked that place in they will
5351s	be in the finals we will see them a
5352s	little bit later today but until then we
5354s	have some more matches so let's take a
5356s	look at the bands for this first match
5357s	between Platinum sensitivity and the
5360s	tuskers
5361s	co I keep have to clap for the Bands
5365s	I've clap louder he says these guys are
5367s	getting a bit uh come on look Clapp
5370s	where's my bands oh he doesn't have the
5372s	Bands
5373s	A what is this this is okay The Clapper
5377s	is broken all right so brng not comes to
5379s	the desk thank you very much good day
5381s	how are you doing mate I'm looking
5383s	forward to this is going to be wild
5384s	Honestly though I'm having a good day if
5386s	tuskers makes it through it's going to
5387s	be the worst day ever like what six
5388s	matches in a row at minimum yeah there's
5389s	a lot of matches at this point they have
5391s	to play so let's just say they go 2-0
5393s	right now um and get through that means
5395s	they've already played Four matches
5397s	before they go into the grand finals
5398s	where they have to play potentially
5399s	another five matches it is a lot of
5401s	matches and they come thick and fast
5403s	there's only half an hour between the
5404s	start of each match which means match
5406s	ends conversation immediately open for
5408s	bands for the next match and then you
5410s	also have to do with Conquest bands so
5411s	there's a lot going on uh at any point
5414s	going on from now I think um uh we are
5417s	ready to go to the arena almost in a
5419s	minute or so so let's go let's go to
5422s	predictions I'm going to check twitch
5423s	chat you guys tell me what you think I
5425s	would wait for him Mr bbp
5427s	first okay predictions you know I'm just
5430s	go straight up all right taskers wins
5432s	this one Platinum sensitivity once next
5433s	two they're going to Shield Rush each
5434s	other I mean I think this is going to be
5436s	Shield rush into Shield Rush as well uh
5438s	I think you're right there um this so I
5441s	actually quite enjoy when we see mirror
5442s	matches like that because they're so
5443s	fast it comes down to Target calling
5445s	Target selection and Target priority
5447s	that's what the two teams might differ
5449s	we've seen it a couple times this
5450s	tournament already with uh mirror
5451s	matches where the target selection has
5453s	differed w what's your predictions oh it
5457s	depends on how well the puskus pilots
5458s	are feeling right now considering the
5460s	last match are they in the right state
5462s	of mind and they're going to be able to
5463s	just get get a clean sweep and start
5465s	again but platinum's ready to go I think
5467s	it's going to be interesting to see what
5468s	they do as well cuz they've they're
5469s	fresh ready they've watched tuskers
5470s	they're like okay we got all planned
5472s	ready to go so it's going to be I think
5474s	my bets on Plat but I'm hoping for
5476s	tuskers cuz I do enjoy their comps yeah
5478s	I think this is going to be a climb out
5481s	for the tuskers they have lost their
5482s	Flagship Platinum sensitivity do have
5483s	theirs they're also more well rested at
5485s	this point so let's go match one of this
5488s	best of three between Platinum
5489s	sensitivity and the
5493s	tuskers Hello friends and welcome back
5495s	to the first match of the lower bracket
5498s	finals I'm CCB and joining alongside my
5501s	colleague at uh yoten and rs attorneys
5503s	at law Ali RS Ali what have we got going
5506s	on here we've got tuskers versus
5508s	platinum sensitivity tuskers bringing a
5510s	familiar comp we've seen before already
5512s	yeah these are those triple Dominic's
5513s	that got them to this point in the
5516s	tournament and uh it'll be very
5518s	interesting to see how they match up
5519s	against Platinum sensitivity uh who've
5521s	brought a double Armageddon double
5523s	arbitrator sort of drone comp it's a
5526s	little bit unfortunate for those
5527s	arbitrators there because the only thing
5529s	they're really going to be able to TD is
5531s	going to be those Dominics drones by the
5532s	way these Armageddon these do not have
5535s	any form of offensive modules in their
5537s	High slots it is all energy neutralizers
5540s	and maybe some smart bombs a full drone
5542s	comp if I've ever seen one we can see
5543s	them dropping those drones already
5545s	especially the Dominic is dropping those
5547s	curators uh and wardens right out the
5549s	gate if I was going to guess uh and we
5551s	are off friends damage already going in
5553s	on the vexter uh a little bit of damage
5556s	chip damage at least this part uh from
5559s	um the tusers team looking for a an easy
5561s	pick we talked a little bit before the
5562s	match started uh about what the the best
5564s	Target to go for here because those
5565s	arbitrators you can basically ignore
5567s	those for this match yeah those
5568s	arbitrators they are not really
5570s	threatening what the tuskers are doing
5571s	instead the tuskers are taking out
5573s	things that might be able to lock them
5574s	down because if you look these tuskers
5576s	ships are kiting away there's a sentry
5578s	blob in the middle of the Arena they are
5580s	leaving it behind they'll have to
5582s	abandon those drones and launch new ones
5584s	if they want to uh switch up their drone
5586s	types but in in the meantime those
5588s	drones are just happily plinking away at
5589s	these vexor here yes they are and you
5591s	can see the tusker team already going up
5593s	towards this uh the um the the mjd up
5597s	here the micro jump unit up here in the
5598s	in the top corner of the map so maybe
5600s	looking to do a little bit of range
5602s	kiting around the outside or around the
5604s	outside of the Arena if they uh uh if
5606s	they feel like they're getting
5607s	threatened but again yeah this huge ball
5608s	of centries right here in the middle but
5610s	we do see the gons going through with
5612s	smart bombs that is a Pro Gamer move
5615s	Alaris okay so if those gons have Smart
5617s	bombs maybe Platinum sensitivity here
5621s	are the ones who had the read Because
5622s	those smart bombs are you drone ships uh
5625s	the way they work they have a drone Bay
5627s	oh yeah you fit only so many different
5629s	reloads of drone drones in your drone
5630s	Bay these Dominic's uh let me just take
5632s	a quick look oh there's a jump they they
5635s	tuskers they're jumping from this Beacon
5637s	they're going straight back in they're
5639s	down into the mix now they are well down
5642s	inside this blob and looks like they are
5644s	they are immediately dropping uh
5646s	Berserkers have they abandoned their
5647s	drones in the middle of the map for in
5649s	in favor of these heavy drones they are
5651s	now in the mix this has gone from a
5652s	kiing brawl comp to or kiing uh drone
5655s	comp to a brawl in quick succession
5658s	damage going in now quickly uh on the
5660s	vexer uh of Stew Miner from tuskers but
5663s	again TUS tuskers with a a dramatic play
5666s	here indeed and those Lodi frigs from
5668s	tuskers those jumped with the happily
5670s	with the rest of the team they need to
5671s	be there to give the Reps but uh both of
5673s	them are now suffering under the NES
5675s	from the Platinum sensitivity team it's
5676s	not just smart bombs it's NES too
5678s	meanwhile the Platinum sensitivity Pon
5679s	effects low armor dipping into structure
5682s	that's huge those links they're going to
5684s	be providing so much sustain to the
5686s	Platinum sensitivity team and it doesn't
5688s	look like they're going to trade it out
5689s	for anything no I mean maybe this
5691s	Inquisitor from J or Jagger Moritz uh
5694s	from tuskers you can see a big blob of
5696s	drones were on him uh but now going back
5699s	towards the other they're trying to do a
5700s	little bit of swap traing on these
5702s	inquisitors trying to put pressure one
5703s	way or the other uh but oh no the tholly
5705s	has gone too this is huge wow wow yeah
5709s	tuskers I mean what a we we were just
5711s	talking about how you know the Reed from
5713s	the gons with those smart bombs in the
5715s	middle of the map the gedon looking like
5717s	buffoons at this point looking almost
5719s	silly here just sitting in the middle
5721s	map smart bombing while the tuskers team
5722s	is coming in and spreading dis array
5724s	across their entire back end yeah it
5726s	looks like Platinum sensitivity they're
5728s	going for the Lodi trade they've lost
5729s	their Deacon but they've managed to get
5730s	down Blackstar and the acquisitor with
5732s	Blackstar down Jager Moritz doesn't have
5734s	long to live and once those two ships
5737s	are are dead uh tuskers they're going to
5739s	have you know no more reps but uh
5742s	Platinum sensitivity they've already
5743s	lost their reps they it's just their
5744s	buffer and platinum sensitivity they
5747s	have it's hard to tell with the bars
5749s	right now the those sort of blue bars at
5750s	the top of the defense that showing you
5752s	how much buffer bow side has it looks
5754s	equal but it's not yeah it's two
5756s	Armageddon versus three Dominic's the
5758s	Dominic's they're going to be a bit more
5760s	tanky oh they're definitely more tanky I
5761s	mean honestly anybody in this in this
5764s	tournament so far swapping a single T1
5766s	Lodi for both of their T2 lodgy frigs
5768s	and their links I take that trade every
5771s	day of the week it doesn't seem like
5772s	it's a lot of points but it makes so
5774s	such a huge difference uh because now
5776s	look at the EOS of Nicks wiro dropping
5778s	the low armor almost about to drop into
5781s	into hole and if they lose that EOS
5783s	every one of these ships that drop is
5784s	another big chunk of drones they no
5785s	longer have access to indeed and that
5787s	AOS is the other source of links for
5789s	them so Platinum sensitivity no more
5791s	links no more Buffs no ability to
5793s	stretch out their buffer even more um
5796s	they are applying damage and they've got
5798s	some big damage going to the vexer Navy
5799s	of uh vus AR noas but uh tuskers they're
5803s	firmly in the driver seat here yeah I
5804s	mean even if you lose the vexa Navy at
5806s	this point or or the ash any of these
5808s	squishier targets you've now put
5810s	Platinum sensitivity so far on the back
5812s	foot uh that they're going to a really
5814s	hard time coming back from this I mean
5816s	again you lose the vexer here of LT
5818s	Bazar sorry LTL Bazar LTL bizar that's
5821s	right I'm not Lieutenant Bazar he's not
5823s	in the military LTL Bazar you lose that
5825s	vexer uh and you know at this point
5828s	after that again and the arbitrators one
5830s	of the squishier things on the Platinum
5832s	sensitivity side left alone there's no
5834s	need to go after them exactly uh we are
5836s	in the final day of the alliance
5838s	tournament every team here is quite good
5840s	at Evon line the spaceship game and they
5842s	are doing an excellent job of Target
5845s	calling so focusing on the links
5848s	focusing on the logy methodically going
5850s	through the most important ships first
5852s	and leaving those arbitrators who don't
5854s	really matter for last Armageddon you
5856s	they're they're big but they're not as
5859s	impactful for the for the hit points as
5861s	the pawn effects yeah we now see them
5862s	going on to the indestructible Mark
5864s	Bridges suddenly finding himself quite
5866s	destructible without his Thalia or
5868s	Deacon friend uh there to support him uh
5870s	and again the play just you know
5872s	dropping the centuries making it look
5873s	like it was just to Sentry blob comp
5875s	they were going to do a little bit of
5876s	kiting and then for the the Pro Gamer
5878s	Strat Ali Aris to jump in when drop the
5881s	Heavies what a move an absolute move
5884s	from this team uh from tuskers uh again
5887s	immediately changing up the entire
5889s	Dynamic of the map this uh genon of Mark
5891s	Bridges is going to go down and with
5893s	that that's they have a single
5895s	Battleship left of DPS I don't know if
5896s	there's anything else that they can
5897s	clear indeed I I do want to say it's the
5899s	indestructible Mark Bridges but I think
5901s	we can form a hypothesis here as
5903s	scientists we've seen Mark bridges in a
5905s	variety of ships throughout the
5907s	tournament and the mark Bridges Bal Gorn
5910s	has not died once that is true so so
5913s	maybe it's not just Mark Bridges the
5915s	pilot maybe we need Mark bridges in the
5917s	Balor in order to be able to get get
5920s	this uh this indestructible Aura going
5922s	on I am something of a scientist myself
5924s	and uh I I cannot help but agree with
5927s	your your logic here uh Mr RS that is
5930s	quite a Vibe and we see now uh Kint
5932s	larke in the again uh taking a lot of
5935s	heat again tackled nuded it does not
5937s	matter I mean they've just got so much
5939s	damage I mean you there's a huge blob of
5941s	Heavies on them right now um you know
5943s	and they'll they'll be mopping this up
5944s	in qu pretty quick order a great
5946s	turnaround for this tuskers team which
5948s	you know we saw them go 02 against uh
5951s	THL and the uh the the winner semi-final
5954s	um you know kind of on the back foot but
5956s	coming out here honestly with a triple
5957s	Dominics comp with a bang yeah we've
5960s	seen this triple Dominics comp before in
5962s	this tournament it looked it did quite
5963s	well for them then it did an excellent
5965s	job with those centuries of dealing with
5967s	a kiing comp uh here no kiing and it's
5971s	shown that it's able to brawl just as
5973s	well as it is anti- kite uh Platinum
5976s	sensitivity this is their first time
5978s	here in the top four they will be
5981s	enjoying Conquest bands for the very
5983s	first time jusers we've seen this
5984s	Dominic's comp it's not going to be back
5986s	next match true they can't bring it
5988s	again true uh the next match if Platinum
5991s	sensitivity takes that next match it
5992s	could come back come out for the final
5994s	um but yeah tuskers as you say tough
5996s	loss but they clearly went back
5998s	regrouped you know took a deep breath
6000s	did that sort of yoga breathing thing
6002s	and uh brought their aame and you know
6004s	it really at this point when you get to
6006s	this level especially this far in the in
6008s	the tournament in the final three
6009s	matches now or the final three teams now
6011s	the the the the thing that makes teams
6014s	Elite at this point is not just oh can
6016s	you fly your ship the best it's who can
6018s	adapt more quickly in from a moment to
6020s	moment gameplay point of view and
6022s	tuskers here at absolutely read this the
6024s	right way they saw the gons coming in
6025s	they saw the smart bombs they said okay
6027s	we have a choice to make we can either
6028s	try to keep doing what we've been doing
6029s	or we have this other thing we could do
6032s	we've been we we prepared ahead of time
6034s	let's do the other thing and see if that
6036s	works because eventually if the gons had
6037s	sat there on top of that Sentry blob for
6039s	long enough they would have just cleared
6040s	all the
6042s	centuries negating that entirely H makes
6046s	then the Platinum sensitivity team have
6048s	to adjust and not quite working out for
6050s	him this time it and we will hear more
6052s	about that from the desk as the last m
6053s	Platinum sensitivity has fallen we will
6056s	see you all for the next match
6071s	[Music]
6089s	tuskers Co taking a win there and
6091s	pushing Platinum sensitivity down to the
6093s	point where they need to win this next
6094s	match otherwise they are going home so
6097s	uh a good performance there from the
6099s	tuskers interesting sets of comps we saw
6101s	The Dominics comp yesterday the triple
6102s	domies and we saw some really good plays
6104s	from both sides there so first of all
6106s	tuskers dropped a bunch of sentries and
6108s	then burned away which is you know what
6109s	what you do and if you're a a bad team
6112s	then you just kind of ignore the entries
6113s	and burn around and get yeated by them
6115s	but what we saw is we saw Platinum
6117s	sensitivity burning right in on top of
6118s	that Sentry blob moving around them and
6120s	also smart bombing black bar Pirates yes
6122s	they were uh smart bombing is smart
6124s	especially Against drones uh both uh as
6126s	far as we know so the zills have not
6127s	populated yet as of you know right
6129s	before we got on here and so I don't
6130s	want to start like but uh you know
6133s	incidentally um we're pretty sure that
6134s	neither of these teams have their Z
6136s	kills posted right now so uh to hide the
6138s	indel but we saw that at least uh both
6141s	uh gons had at least one smart bomb they
6143s	went on top of the century and started
6144s	getting rid of them which is what you're
6146s	supposed to do and also you know they
6147s	moved a lot of their ships towards it to
6148s	try and kind of mess with the Sentry
6150s	tracking um something we haven't seen
6151s	for honestly years uh centuries have
6154s	been very underused in many years now um
6157s	except by by tuskers uh but tuskers uh
6160s	reacted very quickly to that they were
6161s	like aha we've got you in our trap mjd
6165s	their entire fleet directly behind um
6167s	the Platinum sensitivity Fleet grabbed a
6169s	paon AIX immediately and explod toied it
6172s	with heavy drones we're pretty sure it
6174s	looks like a little combination of both
6175s	yeah so it's quite likely that um so if
6177s	you've ever used a drone boat before uh
6179s	you have a certain capacity in your Bay
6181s	and of course you have a certain amount
6182s	of uh bandwidth so you can launch the
6183s	drones and then you do things with them
6186s	now sentries of course if you want to
6187s	pick them up you have to go actually get
6188s	them now if you have then amgd away from
6190s	them it's quite common you see this in
6192s	Alliance tournament people will just
6193s	abandon a flight of drones and drop the
6194s	next set rather than trying to scoop
6196s	them uh and that's basically what
6197s	happened here those centes would have
6198s	been abandoned and heavy drones put out
6201s	wing nut one of the things we saw on the
6202s	Platinum sensitivity side side in fact n
6204s	not one two arbitrators we've seen a lot
6206s	of arbitrator use this Alliance
6207s	tournament it's been very popular as a
6209s	ban or bringing it super powerful when
6211s	it comes to tracking disruption and
6212s	guidance disruption what comp would two
6216s	arbitrators making 30 points not do well
6218s	against oh exactly that comp hly I like
6220s	to call that comp almost the
6220s	anti-control comp this year cuz it's
6222s	like everyone's brought NES everyone's
6224s	brought track disruption that comp
6225s	doesn't particularly carry the way it's
6228s	happy to just sit on grid and whatever
6229s	even if you damped it they just assist
6230s	the drones to the next guy and hit you
6231s	anyway so it's I was kind of weirded out
6234s	by by yesterday but looking at it now is
6236s	actually a pretty good comp for what the
6237s	meta we've been seeing is especially if
6239s	you deliberately leave arbitrator open
6241s	like hey you can bring the ship don't
6242s	worry we we we're not ready for it yeah
6244s	we've seen a lot of teams Banning as
6246s	much tracking and Eng disruption as they
6248s	possibly can sometimes every band
6250s	devoted to things like arbitrators
6251s	pilgrims curs crucifier all of them
6253s	being removed as quickly as possible
6256s	black bird pirate uh I mean tuskers
6257s	brought this comp yesterday what do you
6259s	think Platinum sensitivity was thinking
6260s	with uh with their bands and then going
6262s	into this particular setup we thought
6264s	there was going to be Shield Rush versus
6265s	Shield Rush once the match started and
6266s	we saw the bans it became very clear
6268s	that both teams were actually Banning
6269s	out Shield Rush yeah actually um so I
6272s	don't know if we can bring back the
6273s	bands it's not super important but uh
6275s	they did ban out I know I saw sner
6277s	banned out I saw I want to see Loki
6279s	banned out as well s yeah so clearly
6282s	like we didn't get to see them right
6283s	beforehand the matches get kind of
6285s	little get get a little bit squishy
6287s	together at this point but um the I
6290s	think that Platinum sensitivity was
6292s	probably expecting
6294s	uh maybe that EOS setup that we saw that
6296s	kind of like looked like the EOS or
6298s	maybe even the um the the kind of like
6301s	the armor Cyclone Fleet issue one I
6302s	don't think they were expecting the
6303s	Dominic setup uh I do think the Dominic
6305s	setup is probably the best comp that
6306s	tuskers has shown so far um but yeah cuz
6309s	anything else that uh like if tuskers
6312s	brought their flag Bal Gorn set up that
6313s	would have wrecked plam sensitivity um
6315s	like badly so I think that they were
6318s	expecting to see I think maybe they were
6319s	thinking they were going to get the the
6321s	disrespect of getting the heavy missile
6323s	k um it's something that we see
6325s	sometimes teams that think that they're
6326s	like way better than other teams will be
6328s	like we're going to bring a kite comp
6329s	and just small gangu uh I don't think
6331s	they were ready for that because if they
6333s	had been ready for that you wouldn't
6334s	bring an arbitrator or two yeah I mean
6336s	there a lot of points with the point
6337s	inflation real now let's speak a little
6339s	bit about Conquest bands in fact so by
6341s	bringing two arbitrators there two slots
6343s	obviously in a lot of points you suffer
6345s	Point inflation but uh if you win you
6348s	have one less ship that's Conquest
6349s	banned out Conquest Bann meaning if you
6351s	win a match then you cannot bring any of
6352s	the ships you brought in the last match
6353s	on top of regular bands so uh you start
6356s	to try and like you accept a bit of
6358s	extra points here and there from
6359s	bringing multiple of the same thing to
6361s	leave more ships open it's kind of
6363s	considered a little bit um I guess a
6366s	mistake to kind of like ban out multiple
6368s	things yourself which is why when we
6370s	came back and I was like Bart it's a bit
6371s	unusual to see um both the pon effects
6374s	and a Magus being fielded by the tuskers
6375s	here because now they've just basically
6377s	self banned out both of the command
6380s	destroyers for armor yeah so uh if you
6382s	if you don't know how the conos pans
6383s	work basically if you fly a ship and you
6385s	win with a ship you cannot fly the ship
6387s	for the rest of the series for the these
6388s	best of three Series so yeah if you
6390s	bring a Magus and pona effect you can no
6392s	longer bring a Magus of pona effect
6393s	which is 2.5 of the three armor links I
6396s	mean technically joggers are still exist
6398s	I me we've seen a lot of dger use
6399s	actually we've seen some insane dger
6401s	usage today actually we saw a jogger
6402s	like solo an entire enemy team which is
6405s	really cool um first match of the day by
6406s	the way yep you should rewatch it if you
6408s	haven't it was a good match wng what do
6410s	you think about this like the fact that
6411s	tuskers are now essentially um making
6413s	them more difficult for themselves to
6414s	bring armor they also have their
6415s	Flagship at this point so it feels like
6417s	they're going to push themselves into
6419s	the uh basically a shield comp for
6421s	example May gun spam as well like that
6423s	option is still on the table and it's
6425s	it's usually the obvious one but this is
6428s	tuskers they don't do the obvious option
6430s	they might just bring like a double
6431s	Drager comp and use them for their links
6433s	and just call that good they are a weird
6434s	team
6436s	so this this is what they do they do the
6439s	weird stuff that we don't expect so I'm
6441s	curious to see what they're going to
6441s	bring it's going to be tuskers let's
6443s	let's be honest I would expect so the
6446s	thing that's super open right now is the
6449s	tuskers Balor Flagship comp well I know
6452s	there's one problem with this problem
6453s	with it I was going to get to that the
6456s	issue is is that I don't think that
6458s	works without your Bal Gorn you need
6461s	those fancy webs but what I'm saying is
6463s	like the thing with the the nice thing
6464s	about the Bal Gorn is they are many
6466s	points M and if you know that you can't
6468s	bring that comp anymore without your Bal
6470s	Gorn because your Bal Gorn uh I think
6472s	something happened to it yeah it could
6474s	explod disassembly uh but I'm saying
6477s	like they have a setup that they already
6479s	know how to use um that they could very
6481s	easily just do a little bit of a you
6483s	know mirror magic and kind of be like oh
6485s	well you know look what we can do I I do
6487s	think that tuskers probably very much
6489s	did not expect to be in a position where
6491s	they're in a lower bracket best of three
6493s	without a flagship yeah no one plan no
6495s	one really plans I mean you kind of have
6496s	to in some you you have to assume it'll
6498s	happen to you at some point but but also
6500s	hopefully not yeah I mean one other
6502s	thing before we move on uh I want to
6503s	talk a little bit about um the previous
6505s	match with tuskers and Truth on the
6507s	light we were looking through some of
6507s	the kill mailes and we spotted something
6509s	quite interesting there was a pontif
6510s	effect being flowing by the tuskers H
6512s	with five different uh links on it two
6514s	armor two Skirmish and one info and
6517s	looking in the cargo we saw a whole
6519s	bunch of different implants the Imperial
6521s	Navy mind link plus the Skirmish mind
6522s	link uh unusual bragb bar tell me what
6526s	they could possibly be doing yeah so you
6528s	know if if you don't know you can't
6530s	actually pop all five mind Links at the
6532s	same time you can't online the game will
6533s	not let you um you can get at most I
6535s	believe three on a pawn effects uh so
6537s	what we're pretty sure was happening was
6539s	basically um so despite I well despite
6542s	what twitch chat thinks sometimes cuz
6543s	they're like why are you guys telling us
6544s	the comps already we we don't know the
6546s	comps and the teams that they're uh the
6548s	teams don't know the comps with their
6549s	enemies before they go in so you know
6551s	what you're going to do is like your Pon
6552s	effects is going to have a bunch of
6553s	armor mine links probably some info
6555s	probably some Skirmish well if the other
6557s	team doesn't have ECM and they're not
6559s	kiing you probably don't need info links
6562s	so then you're going to be like okay
6563s	well you know offline this one do this
6565s	other one and because you don't know
6566s	what you're going to need until you
6568s	actually land on grid you are going to
6571s	bring your mind links for it right Cu uh
6573s	as you know mind links are very good uh
6576s	they make they make your boosts much
6577s	better and boosts are also very very
6579s	good boy yeah more more Boosty makes
6581s	boost more Boosty so I do think it's a
6583s	little weird so we we were looking at it
6585s	um they lost like what two billion is
6587s	worth of Mind links CU they had like six
6588s	of each one yeah and we're kind of like
6590s	so I think what their plan was is that
6592s	if it got really weird and they wanted
6594s	to like maximize their APM and they had
6596s	a guardian that they could have like
6599s	online boosts hit the boosts quickly
6601s	offline the Boost rip the implants out
6602s	put the new implants in get cat boost
6604s	back up Reon line their new Boost and do
6606s	it so in the match they were basically
6607s	going to have the ability to potentially
6609s	have all five links running at once um
6612s	we don't know the math on it exactly but
6614s	I think that if you were really really
6615s	good at timing it you'd basically be
6617s	able to run almost a four or five link
6619s	ponix for the entire match it just be
6622s	very very high effort High effort like
6624s	perfect timing you need to be need to
6626s	have a guardian or something you cap
6628s	yeah and obviously uh it's a lot of
6630s	money in a p effect effect as well a
6631s	couple of billion implants so most speak
6633s	expensive PS the question I have is I
6634s	wonder next time we're going to see that
6636s	and maybe in a pseudo Tinker with a nigh
6637s	Haw trying it yeah that'll be
6639s	interesting to see like just going I'm
6640s	just going to Quick cycle Qui burn it
6641s	off get next one in cycle and just keep
6643s	doing it and try and get like the
6644s	tankiest pseudo Tinker they can get cuz
6645s	also they will provide you capacitor to
6647s	do it as well yeah I mean it's pretty
6649s	cool this is the this is the level that
6650s	we kind of we get to when it gets to
6651s	this stage in the tournament like every
6653s	single fraction of a percent matters
6656s	that's why people will spend 160 billion
6659s	isk buying two webs because they're just
6661s	a little bit better than the ones that
6663s	are a little bit cheaper I say a little
6664s	bit cheaper they're like half the price
6665s	like and that 80 billion the difference
6667s	could be enough that you you web someone
6670s	just before he gets out of range or you
6671s	don't and then that's what leads to you
6673s	to win and then you get more price ships
6674s	and everything's paid back off almost
6676s	immediately because these amazing priz
6678s	ships that's the key there the payback
6679s	off part like sometimes it's like if I
6681s	lose my flag here it's bad but it also
6683s	makes so much more back that hell it's
6685s	worth it let's go yeah you know yeah so
6687s	before we before we look at the Pand I
6688s	want to look at the team makeup of
6690s	platinum sensitivity and look at some of
6691s	their matches thus far so let's see if
6693s	we can pull that chart up right now um
6695s	on Platinum
6697s	sensitivity okay so this is the
6699s	plattinum sensitivity team they've won
6700s	15 matches eight lost so pretty decent
6703s	uh right there and relatively it's a
6705s	small team with a with a good core of
6706s	people Mark bridges of course uh the
6708s	kind of uh flag waving uh flag man I
6711s	guess of platinum sensitivity
6713s	I have heard rumors he is indestructible
6715s	however I've seen twice him being
6716s	destructed so I'm beginning to think
6718s	these are uh just rumors and not in fact
6720s	fact but we will I guess we'll find out
6722s	some more later but let's look at the
6723s	last matches here so they just lost the
6724s	tuskers we saw that but coming through
6727s	uh this uh tournament they have beaten
6729s	some pretty good teams so they started
6732s	off with uh whole control then went
6733s	against VTA they actually beat Volta
6735s	last year as well knocking them down to
6736s	the L bracket so star fleet commander is
6738s	in shambles somewhere in the building uh
6740s	tell doomsday as well uh oh another
6743s	graph interesting uh till doomsday that
6745s	was a solid match as well till doomsday
6747s	of course knocking for turny down in the
6749s	first match of the tournament they then
6750s	lost the truth on the light Fair team to
6752s	lose Fair team to lose to truth on the
6753s	light of course in the Grand Final
6755s	already this is a very solid team we
6756s	know that they are going to do pretty
6758s	well if not win the whole thing at this
6759s	point they are so strong uh tuskers and
6762s	um um PL they have both lost to them now
6765s	so they kind of have to come back from
6767s	that either team whoever makes it to the
6769s	final have to come back from already
6770s	losing to truth on a light they went on
6772s	to defeat Odin call and rage quit cancel
6774s	sub in a super exciting match earlier on
6775s	today and finally just dropped a match
6777s	to the tuskers co uh wingler any
6780s	thoughts on this run from them that is a
6782s	lot of good teams piled up that they've
6784s	managed to go through and I think
6786s	Platt's always been one of those like
6787s	high a mid teams they've always been
6788s	pretty good but this has been a great
6790s	year for them like this is for me it's
6791s	almost a standout year that's I'm
6793s	actually kind of hoping they win that
6794s	just to see that but go even further
6796s	even though I'm a bit of a tuskers
6797s	fanboy it's interesting to see they get
6798s	knocked out by the tuskers in Alliance
6799s	tournament 19 as well so um you
6803s	maybe lightning strikes twice or maybe
6804s	they're able to pull it back go the next
6806s	two matches and take it 2-1 to move into
6808s	the final against truth on the light but
6810s	you know that remains to be seen I do
6812s	like the almost Grudge Match style here
6813s	whereas either team that either team
6814s	that wins has to fight the team that
6816s	beat them ex both of them are stuck and
6817s	they're like okay we have to go back to
6819s	climb the same Mountain yeah these are
6820s	these are teams that now they know each
6822s	other they've played against each other
6823s	they've won against each other they've
6824s	lost to each other this is a uh we're
6826s	getting I like I said on the point the
6828s	end of the stick all right this is our
6829s	match two of our best of three between
6832s	the tuskers co and Truth not truth on
6834s	the light that might be coming later we
6835s	never know and platinum sensitivity
6837s	let's take a look at the bands and see
6839s	who the each team is choosing to ban out
6842s	okay so it looks like we have the Tusk
6844s	Co Banning out the EOS and the dger so
6845s	getting that third armor link boat off
6847s	the field in interesting choice there
6849s	from them uh and of course they banned
6851s	the maggus and the pon effects um now
6854s	this is interesting because they can't
6855s	bring the maggus ponts with the conquest
6857s	bands but their opponent Platinum
6859s	sensitivity still could so they are
6861s	choosing to use some of their bands to
6862s	make sure that there's a even playing
6864s	field in terms of um links ships here
6867s	command Destroyer links so interesting
6869s	move from the tuskers co there platinum
6870s	sensitivity Banning out the hugan and
6872s	the Rapier the Loki and the Nighthawk in
6874s	terms of the conquest bans the tuskers
6876s	have these ships that no one can bring
6878s	only the tuskers can also not bring The
6880s	Dominics the ashimmu the vexer Navy ISU
6883s	the Magus the pontif effect the vexer
6885s	and the inquisitors so a lot of ships
6887s	off the field from the tuskers co all
6890s	armor really armor Lings are basically
6891s	off the EOS is such a powerful ship uh
6894s	wng what do you think about these bands
6895s	there's a lot of potential comes we've
6896s	seen that are still the entire armor me
6899s	gun spam is still available that weird
6901s	ABC armor F fully available and also the
6904s	shield rush and shield meeting gun fully
6906s	available but there's also a lot of
6908s	weird s like King Slayer I think is
6909s	still fully there with a bit of trouble
6910s	with links the fact that tuskers are the
6913s	ones that ban the drag they they
6914s	forcibly forced the issue here with okay
6916s	no one gets these yeah which is that is
6919s	okay let's see what they do with that
6920s	now that's that's a Tusk thing to do
6922s	what do you think of these B bar are you
6923s	surprised to see the tusker spanning out
6925s	all three um armor command destroyers
6927s	there and the EOS yeah I think uh not
6930s	really I think it's it's definitely a
6931s	choice like I mean that says something
6933s	so you can bring like you said you can
6934s	bring armor medium gun spam because
6936s	theard day and the Absolution BOS open
6939s	and that's usually what you use your
6940s	heavy links on that uh thing uh you
6943s	can't really bring King Slayer or King
6946s	killer because you usually use the
6948s	command stage for that um just because
6950s	you don't have enough points like if
6950s	you're bring three battleships that eats
6952s	up a lot of your points so they're
6954s	basically I feel like tuskers is trying
6956s	to force uh Platinum sensitivity to
6959s	either do medium guns with armor or
6963s	Shield rush or medium guns with Shield
6965s	cuz it's exactly like Wing said like
6967s	those are the three kind of like basic
6968s	is comps that are out there um I don't
6970s	think you can do armor battleships here
6972s	you try I think we saw we saw a team um
6975s	bring you shouldn't one command
6977s	Destroyer um in a match yesterday and it
6980s	was a possibly the thing that caused
6982s	them to lose
6983s	were links now's a cple things I think
6987s	if we get something like a double medium
6990s	gun then mirror matchups I find them
6992s	quite exciting because it comes down to
6993s	Target priority and Target uh selection
6995s	wut like what would you want to try and
6997s	take off the field first if you see you
6998s	have an a medium gun spam they have a
7000s	medium gun spam so I have two ways of
7001s	looking at it first is kill Lodi that's
7003s	usually the most simple straightforward
7005s	any team go okay we need to kill Lodi
7006s	then we can move on the second one is my
7008s	which is my thing which is killing the
7010s	most damage for the least tank so T1
7012s	Cruisers like vexes if they got good if
7014s	they full guns kill them move up but it
7016s	depends on the comp you're versing cuz
7018s	if you're versing a very tanky one like
7019s	the double M version the mher is not the
7021s	target you want to kill first they are
7023s	probably one of the tankiest ones for
7024s	the least damage so it's it's constantly
7026s	vary which is great it's all I said it's
7028s	Target calling what do you pick and each
7030s	team is a different answer really I
7031s	think B there's a bit of a problem with
7033s	medum gun spam though because almost all
7035s	um uh ewar is still available so there's
7038s	nothing banned out in E War really so uh
7040s	you bring along like if you think your
7041s	opponent might be bringing m spam if you
7043s	bring on like one crucifier suddenly it
7045s	become really difficult uh to to go up
7047s	against that yeah it's this is rough
7049s	like this is really rough we know what
7051s	you can't bring in theory so this is one
7053s	of those ones where like I could see
7056s	someone trying to force the issue and
7058s	bringing some kind of armor Battleship
7060s	cuz they could do it they you okay look
7062s	you could take we see it all the time
7064s	someone tried like I shall be smart I
7066s	shall I should bring the thing that they
7067s	think we cannot bring and then they lose
7069s	so here's here's the thought what if you
7070s	bring instead of an EOS you bring a St
7073s	a it's bad it is bad but it's not that
7076s	bad but is it worth it no but you could
7079s	do it I'm just saying like worth it this
7081s	is the cool thing this is why we love
7083s	the the best of Threes is because when
7084s	you get into these like really
7085s	nitty-gritty Conquest band matches you
7086s	start seeing people just like you got to
7088s	see if they actually prepared right
7090s	because if you didn't prepare for this
7092s	and somebody bans out your entire set of
7094s	uh armor links you're screwed y um I do
7098s	think that like this is the kind of
7099s	thing where I would expect tuskers to
7101s	pull out
7103s	um some kind of like weird Shield kite
7108s	where they bring like arbitrators that
7110s	are shield because it's tuskers and they
7112s	do weird stuff like that um that's a
7114s	because I think that's like the actual
7115s	answer here is to do some kind of
7117s	strange
7118s	like I I want to say almost like a drone
7122s	Shield like Florida man with crucifiers
7124s	or like Florida man with arbitrators if
7126s	you didn't Florida man was something we
7127s	saw a bunch in ag 6 I was about to say
7130s	the number that we're not supposed to
7131s	say with that one um where
7133s	basically you did like alligators and
7134s	heas kiting and using their drones like
7137s	that might be something that I don't
7138s	know we're I'm trying to just make crap
7140s	up at this point but like I feel like
7141s	that would actually work really well
7142s	here and wng what about something like a
7144s	like a Nighthawk ham rush like I feel
7146s	like that might still also be on the
7147s	table here yeah but I don't think now is
7149s	the time to bring one out I feel like
7151s	with median gun span fully available
7153s	it's like okay this is just going to die
7155s	they're going to tackle one thing
7156s	they're going to Starburst and then
7157s	we're not going to get anything anymore
7159s	it's I feel like that's probably the
7160s	weakest one but there's amazing how many
7162s	comps still v as we're talking about the
7163s	more we think the more there is pseudo
7164s	tank is still there for Christ sake
7166s	there's so many options that are just
7167s	fully available ready to go which is
7169s	scary when you're versing tuskers it's
7171s	what are they going to bring out of
7172s	these we Haven seen one pseo Tinker I
7173s	think this tournament it's not been
7174s	super popular two two we saw two
7178s	um I I don't think it was a skill issue
7180s	on team like legit like it was one of
7182s	those ones like like you have so much
7184s	damage and you're not applying it yeah
7186s	the team that lost cuz they didn't bump
7187s	and then the team that yeah it's it's a
7189s	solved comp in my mind and I feel like
7191s	both these teams should know how how to
7192s	beat it like should know how to beat it
7194s	just just pump them um yeah yeah so it
7197s	looks like we're only a couple minutes
7198s	away from the match let me just see if
7199s	the teams are in system uh it looks like
7203s	not yet they're coming very soon though
7205s	um so y they're in Warped the Reena
7207s	Arrow so everyone is in warp the the
7209s	right of the valkyrie is playing a bunch
7211s	of people are frantically spamming D
7213s	scan like like just hardcore clicking
7216s	that thing over and over again and
7217s	they're all shouting at what they see uh
7219s	one team might be very happy one team
7220s	might be very sad we don't really know
7222s	what this point uh we I don't see what
7224s	what they're bringing they could both be
7225s	really sad they could both be S there's
7228s	always everyone can be sad everyone can
7230s	be sad together okay as soon as I see
7233s	these uh Team Landing in the great I
7234s	think I'll throw it over so we can start
7236s	talking about it I see one team coming
7237s	in let's wait for the second team to
7239s	land and then we'll head head yep I see
7241s	it on the screen let's go to the arena
7243s	for this B match is a second one in this
7246s	best of three between the tusker school
7248s	and platinum
7250s	sensitivity hello and welcome back to
7252s	the arena for the second round of
7255s	platinum sensitivity versus tuskers uh
7257s	tuskers have shown up with a cruise
7260s	typhoon comp we looked at this we're
7261s	like ah King slay and then you do the
7262s	look at and you're like nope that is
7264s	some tuskers style spice yeah long
7268s	distance with as my colleague CCP yoten
7270s	pointed out three different ships with
7273s	Target painters they will apply what's
7275s	Platinum sensitivity got yeah Platinum
7276s	sensitivity going for gun spam lots and
7279s	lots of gun spam we have uh a bunch of
7281s	uh battle cruises the Triple merer A a
7284s	throwback to a comp that we complained
7286s	about a lot not that long ago uh but
7288s	this match will start again a lot of gun
7291s	spam gun spam very good at picking up
7292s	the back end we should see Platinum
7294s	sensitivity going after the vigil the
7296s	fleet vigil in the hyena and immediately
7297s	going for that hyena getting rid of
7299s	those immediately especially with cruise
7301s	typhoons is going to be integral to them
7303s	winning this match it's not just and
7304s	there goes the hyena and that's not just
7306s	the target paints that's also those
7308s	bonus webs you saw those webs fall on
7310s	the Platinum sensitivity team and they
7311s	dropped off the moment that hyena died
7314s	those long range webs are off the field
7316s	so it's time to move on to the vigil
7318s	Fleet issue and the vigil uh meanwhile
7321s	the Navy brucks of lieuten of LTL Bazaar
7324s	your good friend your good friend uh is
7327s	uh suffering a little bit but so far
7329s	holding yeah I mean here's the problem
7332s	for tuskers uh is they you know they
7336s	have a really I mean the the strength of
7339s	cruise missiles is that you nowhere on
7341s	the map are you safe they can reach out
7344s	to anywhere they can give you a good
7345s	hearty poke uh and and they absolutely
7348s	will too they do they do a bulk of
7349s	damage a lot of alpha however they are
7352s	absolutely especially in this setup
7354s	susceptible to uh if they lose those
7358s	Target painters and they lose those webs
7360s	they are going to be in a for a long
7361s	match I say that LTL Bazar does drop so
7364s	they at least have enough of both of
7366s	those things both webs and Target Banks
7368s	to take care of one Navy bruix they have
7371s	a long way to go s to in this match and
7373s	they're moving on to the omen of uh NY
7376s	aokc meanwhile it looks like a vld and
7379s	miraie in those Cruise typhoons they're
7382s	not mea not kiing anymore tackled uh
7385s	probably by that Omen let me just take a
7387s	quick look here yeah yeah I think you're
7389s	right I mean you know it's it's it is
7391s	tough too because those deacons are
7393s	going to have to go in and again the
7395s	deacons super susceptible to gun spam I
7397s	mean those those those medium turrets
7399s	from the aard from the Absolution from
7401s	that Navy Harvey are going to just rip
7402s	them apart if they get too close indeed
7405s	but uh one of those medium gunships down
7406s	Omen down Navy bricks down so tuskers
7408s	they're trying to take out the DPS here
7411s	right cuz Platinum sensitivity they have
7413s	a huge attack bar it's a big problem it
7415s	can punch through all these ships thick
7417s	as hell
7418s	unfortunately uh you know it's slowly
7420s	getting chunk through by that Alpha of
7422s	the cruise typhoons as well as you
7424s	mentioned that uh the NES going on to
7425s	the deacons deacons starting to suffer a
7427s	bit that mer of JN just absolutely
7431s	getting chunked yeah and and the thing
7433s	too is especially for for these two
7435s	Deacon Pilots this is such a hard
7436s	position to be in right because you need
7438s	to focus on your primary DPS you need to
7440s	focus on the typhoons but at the same
7441s	time these these the vigils absolutely
7444s	have to last the match if they lose the
7446s	vigils they can't apply to hardly
7448s	anything another mer does go down that
7450s	seeing Mer's die feels good for OD or
7453s	for uh not Odin's call rather for the
7455s	tuskers uh but you know again if they
7458s	Trade A M bruix and an omen for one of
7460s	these Fleet typhoons and the backend end
7462s	of this duskers comp that they've got to
7464s	feel pretty good about that yeah it's
7466s	tough it's tough and it looks like those
7467s	deacons are going down uh those Paints
7469s	the webs they're making so that they can
7472s	even apply those cruise missiles to the
7473s	deacons one Deacon just goes out the
7476s	other one's Ned out and uh honestly
7478s	tuskers might pull this one out I mean I
7481s	I like okay I get it Mera like I I
7486s	understand I know what you're trying to
7488s	do here but it's such it rides so
7491s	heavily on them being able to keep up
7493s	those the the vigils and that hyena
7495s	obviously losing the hyena sucks but
7497s	they lose both the deacons got they got
7499s	clipped by [ __ ] by cruise missiles how
7501s	is this possible I think it honestly I
7504s	think it does come down to the fact they
7505s	still have that vigil Fleet issue they
7506s	still have that vigil both of those
7508s	ships their armor ships their mids slots
7510s	are completely free for those nice juicy
7513s	Target painters that are clearly doing a
7514s	ton of work now that NES are going on to
7516s	the aard and the Absolution uh Platinum
7518s	sensitivity they just were not able to
7520s	get through they chose a DPS and
7522s	honestly I you were talking about the
7524s	the application and I agree the
7527s	application was probably where they
7529s	needed to focus they abandon the fleet
7530s	vigil they abandoned the vigil because
7532s	they weren't able to apply to it they
7534s	weren't able to get it down and they're
7535s	like oh we'll just screw application who
7538s	needs application if they don't have DPS
7540s	unfortunately Platinum sensitivity
7541s	doesn't have DPS yeah no [ __ ] dude I
7543s	mean and like here's the thing that the
7545s	problem that they they have now is you
7547s	know Platinum sensitivity has gotten rid
7548s	of me Chief and the fleet typhoon that's
7550s	big it's a lot of DPS but now have no
7552s	Lodie left those those cruise missiles
7555s	can hit them anywhere in the arena it
7557s	does not matter they can run as far as
7559s	they want eventually they will get
7560s	smacked absolutely smacked on the back
7564s	by the cruise missiles from these Fleet
7566s	typhoons and they still can't get rid of
7567s	the vigils so if they get webbed at all
7569s	or Target painted and they are we see
7571s	now uh Kent Laris in the aarde uh
7574s	getting Target painted and absolutely
7577s	cooked dude cooked by cruise missiles
7579s	from a fleet typhoon what is what is
7582s	this match dude this is I mean this is
7584s	tusker showing the benefits of being an
7587s	experienced tournament team uh this is
7590s	not something we've seen before you
7591s	could call this a mirror Chief Special
7593s	but we've seen cruise we have seen
7595s	cruise missile ships in the alliance
7596s	tournament before we've seen teams bring
7599s	them but tuskers they have the execution
7601s	they have the piloting and they have the
7603s	experience of being in these high press
7605s	situations Platinum sensitivity they're
7607s	bringing a comp it's a good it's a gun
7609s	spam comp it's a good comp you know uh
7611s	Starfleet probably going to be happy to
7612s	hear that the triple merer uh or I don't
7615s	know if it's happy or not but the the
7616s	triple mer not a success in Alliance
7619s	tournament 20 true but yeah I mean and
7622s	you know here's the thing too like this
7624s	this tusker comp I want to ask you this
7626s	question too because you know you're a
7628s	season vet of this you're you're up 1
7630s	and a best of three do you feel like
7632s	that's the kind of time where you can
7634s	obviously tusker's well known for
7636s	experimenting with some weird [ __ ]
7637s	getting some actually breaking out like
7640s	just coming out from a a smoky closet
7642s	and be like listen guys we're going to
7643s	do something crazy today do you feel
7645s	like that's the time where you can
7646s	really kind of flex that or do you feel
7647s	like it's there's just you can break
7649s	that at at any point honestly at this
7652s	point there is too much on the line and
7654s	on and I think that's one of the things
7656s	that we're seeing tuskers do well here
7659s	is they maybe they maybe came out of
7661s	that closet a little bit in the previous
7663s	best of three and uh and now they've uh
7666s	they've aired it out they've gone for a
7667s	walk and they've come back with
7669s	something it's like no we can we can
7670s	beat this we can we can do this and you
7672s	know this has been quite good into the
7674s	the gun spam comp they have that
7675s	application that they I think they knew
7677s	that this was on the table they have the
7680s	application that they need in order to
7682s	get this done and in terms of comp
7684s	design this is one of those things that
7686s	really separates uh maybe you know
7689s	people they're first into the tournament
7690s	like dude I have the best idea ever from
7693s	the tuskers is when you have the best
7696s	idea ever you got to make sure that it
7699s	really fits together and you got to make
7700s	sure that it doesn't just Auto loose to
7702s	something like medium gunsan we seen
7703s	tons of that in this tournament and this
7705s	doesn't aut lose it has enough Target
7706s	painters it has redundancy what if they
7708s	shoot the hyena doesn't matter we'll
7709s	kill them anyway it does not matter yeah
7712s	tuskers talking mad [ __ ] after the last
7714s	loss to THL going 20 here against
7716s	Platinum sensitivity who could does go
7718s	out tuskers will go forward to the
7720s	finals against truth honor light we'll
7723s	go back to the desk with uh blackmar
7725s	pirate CCB overload and me here in just
7728s	a few minutes to talk about this match
7729s	run fast I'm running
7743s	[Music]
7772s	and then there were two that is it so
7775s	the grand finals of Alliance tournament
7777s	20 will be the tuskers co coming in from
7780s	the losers bracket final without their
7782s	Flagship against truth honor light who
7784s	come in through the winners bracket with
7786s	their Flagship so that will happen in
7787s	about an hour or so that match uh by the
7790s	way was awesome um
7792s	I know I said Mir I apologize I was
7794s	wrong I said don't do it he did it
7796s	anyway and you won with it so you know I
7799s	guess fine I guess do know some stuff uh
7801s	but that was a a armor Kingler with
7804s	basically Shield command destroyers
7805s	running his armor instead and just
7807s	stacking paints three painting ships in
7810s	the bottom now I think it was actually
7813s	really close uh for platinum sensitivity
7815s	if they had killed that vigil Fleet
7816s	issue the hyena perfect First Choice
7818s	bang down bonus paints off the field
7820s	viil Fleet issue also has bonus uh
7822s	paints it was almost down and it
7824s	survived I think if that goes down
7826s	there's no way those rapid heavy uh
7828s	battleships can actually kill those
7829s	deacons and they needed to kill those
7830s	deacons yeah I think uh I think this was
7833s	this tusker's madness I think they did
7835s	the math and they're like so quick
7837s	history lesson cuz I know we don't have
7838s	a ton of time here but uh the um King
7841s	Slayer was originally made to take Lodi
7843s	ships out that's the entire purpose of
7844s	the triple rapid heavy battleships was
7846s	to go and snipe your oses your Guardians
7847s	your cetars whatever uh when log prets
7850s	came in a lot harder to hit them cuz
7852s	heavy missile launcher bad at small ship
7854s	M I think that they were like what if we
7856s	make it so the small ship is so much
7857s	bigger with all of the paints in the
7859s	entire game that we can still snipe them
7861s	yep it worked great um I think you're
7863s	right if the visual Fleet had gone down
7865s	there wouldn't have been enough paints
7865s	to actually hit the deacons and things
7867s	would have gone uh gone a different way
7869s	but here we are any comments from you
7870s	wng I see we're being played off right
7872s	now I wonder how many tanks were in the
7874s	mids of the Sten bar they had spare mids
7876s	they even had a vigil backing how many
7877s	paints did they go for I I couldn't
7879s	count them how many I bet there's a lot
7880s	of paints on
7882s	job mate yeah I mean for Rapid Heavies
7884s	to hit deacons like that amazing or were
7886s	the cruise I didn't actually check
7887s	Rapids I think oh well we'll figure out
7889s	later all right so stick around because
7891s	uh we're going to go to a video with
7892s	ccbb and CB trash Panda now it's an
7894s	InFocus it's going over a bunch of
7896s	details of our new expansion including
7898s	the new ships so let's head over to
7904s	that hello everyone I'm ccbb and you're
7907s	tuning into the second INF Focus segment
7909s	for the Revenant expansion which is set
7911s	to come the 12th of November today I
7913s	have a fantastic guest with me CCP trash
7916s	Panda welcome hi thank you for having me
7919s	we are going to be talking about
7920s	something really exciting today we had a
7922s	Dev block and a video come out this week
7924s	uh it was called wealth and destruction
7926s	if I'm not mistaken we're going to talk
7928s	about in depth the mercenary dens that
7931s	are coming to the game and the new
7933s	deathless ships and the new damage
7936s	overtime weapon system so as I'm Waring
7939s	over could you in in short tell me what
7941s	is a mercenary Den yeah sure so the
7944s	mercenary Den is I would say a
7946s	clandestine structure that has been uh
7949s	deployed by the deathless to uh extract
7953s	the workforce from skyhooks in NC so
7957s	they're a structure a mobile structure
7959s	which you can deploy yes that's correct
7962s	yeah so essentially yeah so essentially
7966s	they're they're a almost you would
7969s	consider them almost like a mobile Depot
7971s	the difference is that they have to be
7973s	in in orbit around a Skyhook they need
7975s	to be attached to a Skyhook and
7977s	specifically skyhooks are around
7978s	temperate planets because those are the
7980s	ones that have uh Workforce or
7982s	population on the planet which we can
7984s	then exploit uh in the video you
7987s	explained that um this isn't something
7989s	that only the S owner themselves could
7992s	deploy this is something that anyone who
7995s	finds themselves at a Skyhook that is on
7997s	a tempered Planet could come in and
8000s	deploy yes so but it only works in sof
8003s	NOC where there are sky hooks correct
8006s	correct yeah so this is actually like
8008s	one of the key things and I think really
8010s	cool about the mercenary Dent is that it
8012s	is it's a personal structure so there's
8014s	no there's no ACLS for it there's no uh
8017s	restrictions it's essentially if you
8019s	have that in your cargo hold and also
8020s	you have the skills for them because
8021s	there is a set of skills for deploying
8023s	mercenary TS you can go to an uh an
8026s	empty Skyhook and deploy it yourself so
8028s	that's great for for you the individual
8031s	uh it could be good for a system or a
8033s	Sol owner who wants to have their own
8036s	deployed perfect let's actually dive
8038s	into some of the the kind of high level
8039s	overview of what this is um so this is a
8042s	Deployable structure it can be like we
8045s	said on tempered planets only it
8048s	produces encrypted infom morphs and on
8050s	the 26th of November couple of weeks
8052s	after the expansion something called
8054s	Anarchy and development will also go
8057s	live can you talk to us about those two
8059s	things first of all what is
8062s	so when it comes to the Anarchy um this
8065s	is probably one of the key things
8066s	because it's it's more of the
8068s	detrimental traits that the mercenary
8070s	Den is going to be developing over time
8073s	which is that if nothing happens this
8076s	mercenary Den the people inside it just
8078s	kind of go a bit um I don't don't want
8082s	to say feral but they can you know they
8084s	they get disorganized they get you know
8087s	they increase their Anarchy um and as a
8090s	result of that it means that it starts
8091s	having a detrimental effect on the sky
8093s	hook itself so uh the temperate Sky
8096s	hooks these are sky hooks that provide
8098s	Workforce to the system to the sof hop
8101s	and if you let the Anarchy increase over
8104s	time that will actually start affecting
8106s	the amount of Workforce that a Skyhook
8108s	is producing the other side of that coin
8110s	is development what what is that so as a
8113s	result of an increase in development you
8116s	essentially get an increase of the
8119s	amount of encrypted infal that are
8121s	generated from the structure generally
8124s	speaking you want these to be up and up
8126s	for for weeks so that it gets more
8129s	developed and is paying you out uh at a
8132s	higher rate right correct yes yeah
8135s	absolutely both of these things Anarchy
8138s	and development can also be affected uh
8141s	by something called mercenary tactical
8143s	oper operations M what are those so the
8146s	mercenary Den will at a um various
8150s	levels of of time will provide you with
8153s	uh a an objective that you will have to
8156s	do in space uh so that would be the the
8159s	possibilities are endless we are hoping
8161s	to launch with at least a few of these
8164s	um these operations and the idea is is
8167s	that you complete them and that will
8170s	have an impact on the Anarchy and the
8172s	development at the same time so uh
8175s	essentially what will end up happening
8177s	is if you've completed one of these
8178s	objectives you will have a reduction in
8181s	the amount of Anarchy and you'll have an
8182s	increase in the amount of development so
8185s	these these two uh bars will end up
8187s	going like this if you're thinking
8189s	Anarchy on this side and development on
8191s	this side we have a flowchart just to
8193s	help uh kind of gameplay Loop to to show
8196s	that for a second as well um just to
8199s	kind of clear things up for people so
8200s	you you're going to look for a location
8202s	for this uh obviously you have to
8204s	construct the Deployable or purchase it
8208s	uh you'll deploy it at a location
8210s	whether it's your own space someone
8212s	else's space MH uh and then after a Time
8216s	the development will increase that is
8218s	something that will naturally increase
8219s	and cannot decrease over time so the
8221s	longer it lives the more you get out of
8222s	this mhm uh Anarchy will start to play
8226s	in there and you either decide to to do
8228s	something about that or let it grow uh
8230s	and there's there's various reasons why
8232s	you would want to lower the Anarchy if
8234s	it's not your space so let's say you
8236s	live in close to someone's area but you
8239s	don't have access to Sky hooks but you
8241s	know that they're not really making use
8242s	of this but you really want the
8244s	deathless ships and the Damage over time
8246s	stuff then maybe you want to sneak in
8248s	there and put up one of these and and
8250s	see if you can get that to to live for
8252s	several weeks or maybe just a week to
8254s	try and get what you can out of it
8256s	absolutely but you'd want to keep the
8258s	Anarchy down so that they don't just
8260s	tear your structure down right yeah
8262s	precisely I mean the the the way that I
8264s	look at it is and I mentioned this in
8267s	the in the InFocus video we did
8268s	previously but having those options from
8272s	a from a play style point of view really
8274s	does make this structure quite
8275s	interesting because
8277s	essentially uh when you're playing with
8280s	with Workforce you're also playing with
8282s	uh not just the system itself uh as to
8285s	its output its uh upgrades but because
8288s	you can transport Workforce to different
8290s	systems you have the uh the potential to
8294s	impact multiple systems down the down
8296s	the road so as a system owner you
8298s	probably really want to make sure that
8300s	that anak is quite low because you don't
8302s	want that Workforce impact however if
8304s	you are an attacker and you do want to
8306s	do that it's actually a really clever
8308s	way of impacting people's uh impacting
8312s	people's systems but also multiple
8313s	systems because if they're transferring
8315s	Workforce to other systems then those
8317s	systems get affected as well so it's
8320s	it's really fascinating from that point
8321s	of view becomes a tool to disrupt Aquino
8325s	in a certain way on top of linking it to
8328s	the deathless and and I guess personal
8330s	gain you could use of tool strategically
8333s	as well absolutely and I think that's
8336s	that's one of the I would like to see as
8338s	one of the use cases for this is is uh a
8341s	little bit more under the radar
8344s	disruption gameplay for the uh for the
8347s	sere tap to go on with the flow chart uh
8351s	obviously the Anarchy can be decreased
8353s	but that's only by the owner of the
8355s	structure right correct yes so you can't
8358s	just put down a bunch of these and then
8361s	then tell people hey you're you just
8363s	deal with them you as the person who put
8365s	this down has to go and do the mission
8367s	you have to you're the one responsible
8369s	for the structure and keeping the
8371s	Anarchy down uh and and taking out the
8374s	items and speaking of which if we go
8376s	back to the
8377s	ingame
8379s	um the ingame screen share I put this
8382s	down yesterday I'm going to access the
8384s	structure that I have here yeah oh I'm
8387s	too far away hold on no I was close
8389s	enough so it's been generating at uh a
8392s	certain rate here uh and I now have
8396s	2,388 encrypted infomorph and it's just
8400s	slowly generating this it can actually
8401s	hold uh quite quite a large portion of
8404s	this so over one day it didn't generate
8407s	that much obviously there's no
8408s	development increase on this either mhm
8411s	um but you can tell that this is a
8413s	structure that could be here for a week
8415s	or two or three and and
8417s	really uh just accumulate a bunch of
8419s	this am I the only person as the owner
8421s	that can empty this correct yes you you
8424s	are the person responsible for for
8426s	emptying this uh this structure um if
8429s	someone attacks this and it's reinforced
8431s	because let's let's go over some of
8433s	those details this is a structure that
8435s	reinforces with a 24-hour timer yeah uh
8438s	kind of like a mobile Depot with I guess
8439s	that's a two two day thing but it has
8441s	some Jitter which means that it could
8443s	come out 18 hours later or 30 hours
8446s	later or anywhere in between MH um it
8449s	isn't a particularly hard structure to
8451s	kill it's just a mobile small structure
8453s	but it does give the defender uh you
8455s	know a timer to come and defend this if
8458s	they want to yes if it is destroyed will
8461s	these be up for grabs will they
8462s	disappear with it they they will be up
8464s	for grabs yes so that is a method of
8468s	gaining access to these encrypted infs
8470s	is that you could go hunting for other
8473s	people's mercenary dens and Destroy them
8475s	and uh take the take the rewards but as
8479s	opposed to like most of the that that I
8481s	see people do nowadays which is
8483s	filamenting and looking for trouble you
8485s	kind of have to be local for this
8486s	because it's generating a timer the day
8488s	after yes and if you own one of these in
8491s	in enemy space you you can't hope that
8493s	the filament the next day will get you
8495s	to where you need to go you kind of need
8496s	to be locally there get to know where
8500s	you can actually establish these uh kind
8503s	of creating more local conflicts than
8506s	than random uh filament type conflicts
8509s	yeah absolutely I mean you could you
8511s	could if you're filamenting in you could
8512s	just go and re reinforce the structure
8515s	for for the giggles but like I mean
8517s	unless you want to come back you're not
8519s	really going to get anything out of it
8520s	other than causing a bit of a nuisance
8522s	and it'll self repair if no one attacks
8524s	it in the in the final right yeah yeah
8527s	exactly and so I mean it could also be
8529s	that as a result of you just hitting the
8532s	structure it could force a fight with
8534s	the with the locals so there is that
8537s	that um as an aspect of it yeah
8542s	all right we're going to go hop now into
8544s	uh into some of the new ships because
8545s	these infomorph that this is
8547s	generating uh they are used to acquire
8550s	the deathless ships the Scarab breacher
8553s	pods uh which is the damage overtime
8556s	weapon system uh we want to talk about
8558s	those things I'm going to hop into the
8560s	Destroyer first mhm the thos now we have
8565s	talked about these a little bit but we
8567s	haven't given people details on like
8570s	their weapons that are on the ship this
8573s	will be the first time they actually get
8574s	to see what these ships really are like
8578s	exciting these things uh they're kind of
8581s	DPS monsters so if first of all first of
8585s	all let's just appreciate how cool the
8587s	the r team made this look it's like this
8589s	crazy amalgamation of of calari and
8592s	minmatar fused together with all these
8594s	tubes going everywhere and into there
8596s	and honestly like the r team Nails it
8599s	every time but but this this went even
8601s	further than what like whatever I would
8603s	have expected from minitar calari hybrid
8606s	it looks like this kind of like cyber
8609s	Punky like almost like diesel Punk tubes
8612s	everywhere very industrial looking I
8615s	think I think they look super cool I'm
8618s	gonna try something here I'm GNA try to
8620s	do the ab boarding UND dock oh was too
8624s	quick here a little Loop to Loop we'll
8626s	see if we can do it again yeah but um
8629s	speaking about these ships mhm if we
8632s	look at the bonuses on them they have a
8636s	local rep bonus a shield boost amount
8639s	and yes this is a new window for those
8641s	who don't don't like new stuff you can
8643s	make this swall and just look at this
8644s	stuff but look at how cool it is I
8647s	believe that uh in the future the plan
8648s	is to have your skin and your your kill
8650s	mails and and kill marks displayed on
8652s	this as well but I dig the bonuses on
8656s	the ship is calari Destroyer will give
8660s	this a shield boost amount so a local
8661s	rep amount whereas the minimat Destroyer
8665s	will give it a web resistance it's a new
8667s	bonus isn't it it is a new bonus it's
8670s	the the first of its kind and it's also
8673s	like an interesting addition to the
8676s	mimit Destroyer like DNA essentially um
8680s	but yeah I mean it's also fascinating
8682s	because it effectively uh really plugs
8686s	into the DNA of the deathless ships in
8689s	the sense that you want to able to get
8691s	in close and we'll talk a little bit
8692s	more about the close range of these
8694s	weapons at a sec but essentially it
8697s	means that under the effect of a web you
8699s	are faster than other ships that would
8702s	be trying to close the
8703s	distance on top of that you're also a
8706s	cloaky coverop ships so this is a
8709s	destroyer that can warp around cloaked
8711s	it can be bridged by by Black
8714s	Ops uh it can get in close it gets to
8716s	choose when it wants to start the
8718s	engagement and then when you are in
8721s	Brawl range you have a web resist and a
8724s	local tank that is basically solving the
8726s	problem that that Brawlers have it's the
8728s	fact that they can't close that Gap and
8731s	I think most solo Pilots are Brawlers at
8734s	heart but the the environment pushes
8736s	them to adapt and become kers because
8739s	they just don't like losing ship so
8741s	much but this is something that that
8744s	it's kind of built to let you get into
8746s	brawl range start that engagement and
8748s	even like you said if you have a web res
8751s	and they target doesn't you can always
8753s	scram web them and P range you can
8755s	disengage from that type of a fight and
8757s	then warp away if you want to so it
8759s	gives you a lot of control once you're
8761s	in the brawl range yeah and then on top
8765s	of that with the uh Shield boost bonus
8768s	you also have quite an effective local
8771s	tank to kind of hold off that that DPS
8773s	in that broad range which I think is
8774s	really cool yes uh one other thing that
8778s	a brawler needs is needs to kill its
8780s	Target it before all of their friends
8782s	arrives uh and that's where actually a
8784s	couple of different things come in uh it
8787s	has the ability to launch breacher pods
8790s	which are the uh the damage over type
8792s	system the damage system but that's not
8795s	all this ship uh if we look at the
8797s	attributes of it actually let's look at
8799s	the fittings of it it gets two mishal
8803s	slots and two uh turret hard points as
8806s	well mhm uh and I've I've cooked up a
8809s	fit here which I think on honestly might
8811s	become uh quite usual you see this on
8814s	something like a uh a ram ja M this is
8818s	basically a double medium ancillary
8820s	Shield booster fit it has a cloak it has
8824s	two rocket launchers two light Auto
8825s	cannons if we look at the bonuses again
8827s	you have bonuses to to just pure damage
8831s	you don't have any range which means
8833s	your weapons aren't going to reach
8834s	really far and then coupled on top of
8837s	the uh the small breacher pod that is
8840s	also very short range damage overtime
8842s	weapon system is that correct that is
8844s	very correct yes so that's one of the
8847s	things with the with the uh weapon
8849s	system as well obviously you have the
8851s	small projectile turret bonus which I
8853s	mean I guess technically you could fit
8854s	artillery on but really you're kind of
8856s	thinking autoc Cannon for that kind of
8858s	range um but the other thing to note is
8861s	that it's not um it's not like a missile
8864s	bonus it's specifically rocket damage
8866s	bonus yes so that really does reinforce
8870s	that kind of short range so really for
8872s	the slos you're not really going to be
8874s	wanting to engage in less than 10 km
8877s	like that's that's the kind of ranges
8878s	that we're talking so really up close
8881s	and yeah super high damage but the other
8883s	thing is that because it's multiple
8885s	weapon systems um bonuses to multiple
8887s	weapon systems it also requires a lot
8889s	more skill to to Pilot effectively you
8892s	know you're going to have to if you want
8893s	to run those Tech 2 Auto cannons and
8897s	also those Tech 2 Rockets you're going
8898s	to have to have those skills for it and
8900s	the actual skills of managing all those
8902s	buttons uh when you have suddenly two
8904s	ancillary Shield boosters you got your
8906s	local tank and the scram and you're
8907s	making sure you're or the Target and
8909s	that your Rockets are firing and you're
8910s	maybe defanging some drones and yeah and
8913s	then making sure that the Pod the
8915s	breacher Pod is actually applying uh and
8918s	that actually does damage for um I
8920s	believe 75 seconds that it's taking down
8923s	damage wise but it has a 10c spool time
8927s	so you can you can well not spool time U
8930s	cycle time sh which means that if you're
8932s	in a brawl you could put the damage over
8934s	time on one Target and then keep
8937s	fighting in someone else lands you put
8938s	the damage on TI on that guy and
8940s	suddenly two guys are having their their
8943s	their health take down yes yeah um if I
8946s	show this off so this ship it also gets
8948s	drones it gets one light uh well it can
8951s	carry two but it can put out one light
8953s	set of drones mm this is quite a lot of
8955s	damage for a uh for a destroyer
8958s	especially when you count in the fact
8961s	that the damage part itself it's taking
8963s	for 75 seconds you could go in put this
8967s	on someone and then leave and it'll keep
8970s	D damaging that person right yes yeah
8972s	absolutely for 75 seconds unless unless
8974s	that person docks or or jumps away so
8978s	you could keep dipping in and out making
8980s	use of the the web resist to quickly get
8983s	close enough put the dot on him and then
8985s	leave and someone else is maybe holding
8987s	them at range or long pointing them yeah
8990s	it open up very different way of
8991s	fighting where you don't have to stay in
8993s	the thick of it but if you are in the
8995s	thick of it uh and here we have zero
8998s	bonuses we haven't we haven't put
9000s	ballistic controls or anything in the
9002s	lows M this is uh this is a quite a
9005s	decent chunk of damage you're putting
9007s	out
9008s	640 it's 440 DPS plus then the the
9011s	damage over time mhm and it can tank
9015s	itself quite well uh I think this will
9017s	be kind of a dirty little brawler of a
9019s	destroyer
9020s	absolutely I mean I've I've described it
9023s	internally as almost evil at times like
9026s	it's it's beautiful but it's also evil
9029s	yeah the the dot um we're going to have
9031s	so many people dying in like weird
9034s	places that you're GNA have kill mes pop
9036s	up they go oh he did die like once
9038s	you're off that grid and you're
9040s	different looking forward to to to what
9043s	kind of shenanigans this ends up uh
9045s	leading to yeah and the other thing is
9048s	like if you've got the dot effect on you
9049s	while you're in w
9051s	you could die and warp yes which is uh
9054s	the only way currently to die and warp
9055s	is if you're smart bombed mid warp um
9058s	yeah but uh the other thing is you don't
9061s	often get kill males once you're off a
9064s	grid up to now the way to get a kill
9067s	Mill is if someone you just almost
9069s	killed warped to a gate and then rats
9071s	kill him that'll sometimes still pop up
9073s	you're like oh he did die um but that's
9076s	going to become a probably a far more
9079s	like normal occurrence maybe not normal
9082s	because the way to counter this is still
9084s	just local rep we're getting remote
9085s	reped right yes correct yeah so maybe to
9088s	just explain the the breacher Pod a
9090s	little bit more so the the key thing is
9093s	that um it's still even though the
9096s	breach pod is uh attacking the internals
9099s	of the ship it's still going to be uh
9102s	damaging from the outside in so imagine
9104s	like the it'll hit shield first then
9107s	armor armor then H yeah so the idea is
9109s	is that like the the HP of the ship
9112s	still matters you're not just focusing
9113s	in entirely on the whole yeah um so that
9116s	means that you are you can local rep
9118s	yourself or you can receive remote reps
9120s	to kind of counter that effect but
9122s	obviously is a sustained effect that's
9124s	going to happen over 75 seconds um but
9126s	the key thing also to mention is that uh
9130s	it bypasses all
9131s	resistance so you are you are attacking
9136s	directly the the HP not the not even the
9139s	ehp the HP of the shiping yes so it's
9142s	directly damaging the the health pool
9144s	instead of the the the effective hit
9147s	points like which will increase by
9149s	resist it doesn't care about resists no
9152s	no um the way to balance something like
9155s	this is difficult because you have
9157s	everything from Tiny frigs up to
9159s	gigantic battleships Titans like the
9162s	scale is enormous yeah how have we
9165s	decided to make the application on this
9167s	work yeah so um regarding this we
9171s	basically have two two thresholds that
9173s	we want to hit um and so for this one is
9176s	essentially um your either doing 1% of
9181s	the ship's total HP or you're doing 200
9185s	DP like and that's for that's for the uh
9188s	the breacher Pod the small one now those
9191s	numbers are like could could change a
9192s	little bit we still a little bit in the
9194s	balancing but essentially the idea is is
9195s	that okay so if you're in a a like a
9199s	very very large ship with lots and lots
9201s	of HP like 1% of its health is you know
9205s	thousands of of HP so we don't we don't
9208s	want that so essentially in that case
9210s	when the when the breach pod hits the
9212s	ship it will then determine okay is is
9216s	one% more or less than 200 DPS and then
9220s	it'll pick the lowest one so essentially
9222s	it means that you can still do damage to
9224s	things like carriers or dreadnots or
9226s	whatever but you're not going to be
9228s	doing 1% of that dreadnots HP every
9231s	second that would be a ridiculous amount
9233s	of DPS yeah exactly that was one of the
9235s	worries that people had like will this
9237s	just kill certain things like Dread
9239s	bombs Will T of these show up and just
9241s	kill all the dreads no uh and local tank
9244s	and stuff will obviously counter the the
9246s	type of damage it puts out as well yes
9249s	but for like beefy Target I don't know
9251s	let's say a battleship Fleet fighting
9254s	another Battleship a few of these on one
9256s	side spreading dots on different targets
9259s	that could really start to add up over
9260s	the course of the fight yeah absolutely
9263s	and and if you just do some like quick
9265s	math on it essentially um you have 200
9268s	DPS coming from the the breacher Pod and
9271s	you have 75 seconds of um like duration
9274s	of the of the effect but with a cycle
9277s	time of less than that you can apply to
9280s	multiple people and I mean again the
9282s	cycle time is also still a little bit Up
9284s	For Debate but even at 10 seconds you
9286s	could potentially apply to to up to
9288s	seven people while the while the dot is
9290s	still on all the others so it the the
9294s	potential DPS of this ramps up really
9296s	quickly so the way that I would see this
9298s	is that I I would think that fleets
9300s	would probably want to at least have a
9301s	couple of these in the mix because of
9304s	just the sheer like raw DPS outut these
9306s	can put out it does depend on the ranges
9309s	that they're fighting at of course in
9311s	today's meta there's very little up
9313s	close brawling like
9315s	that but these are cloaky ship that
9318s	could get into places they could be they
9321s	could end up being far more prevalent in
9323s	in wormholes where fights are usually a
9326s	lot closer and lot more
9327s	brawly um it's remains to be seen what
9331s	players end up doing with it if this
9332s	becomes the solo pvpers Dream Ship uh if
9336s	it becomes the small gang kind of can we
9339s	hold targets go in put a dot on them and
9341s	then leave and then like hold them at
9343s	range and just slowly see them
9344s	disintegrate or will this become a tool
9347s	that the the big groups use blops
9349s	bridging them around taking wormholes
9351s	with them we have no idea how they're
9353s	going to use it but it is for sure an
9355s	interesting tool yeah absolutely and I
9358s	think in particular when it comes to
9359s	blops that they'll definitely be uh very
9362s	effective because generally in in like
9365s	when you're actually jumping at a Target
9367s	if you're hunting a Target you're quite
9369s	close to them when you you know light
9371s	your Soo anyway so yeah probably find
9373s	that these will be quite effective um
9375s	like
9376s	Hunters the bigger uh brother of the
9379s	tholos
9380s	and the ship that I'm actually a little
9382s	bit more excited about is the and this
9385s	is for the first time ever a a Black Ops
9389s	capable uh battle cruiser yes so if I
9393s	close all these things this is
9394s	essentially just a battle a battle
9397s	cruiser version of The Destroyer here
9399s	and looking at it again this is just
9401s	some crazy amalgamation of uh a pherx
9405s	that has had a a tornado top Wing
9408s	attached to it mhm it's got tubes
9411s	everywhere all these things are just
9412s	like outside tubes going into one spot
9415s	with it looks crazy cool you can even
9419s	you can even see on on the right hand
9421s	side you can see a little bit of
9422s	hurricane in the in the wing tip there
9424s	like I the back of them as well like
9427s	this is very minmatar kind of Thruster
9429s	placement and just this is such a cool
9432s	ship yeah um I'm going to do the same
9435s	before we undock and
9437s	actually mess around with this a little
9439s	bit let's let's talk about the bonuses
9440s	on this ship this also has a local tank
9444s	bonus it also has a web resist bonus
9447s	albe it uh maybe a web resist on a
9450s	smaller Target that can get under guns
9452s	might be more useful but this still
9453s	might help you if you're I don't know at
9456s	like getting grappled uh and holding
9459s	yourself at like Max grapple range it
9461s	might affect you less uh yeah you might
9463s	be able to scram web another battle
9464s	cruiser and still pool range or another
9466s	Cruiser all of those same things still
9469s	apply mhm uh this again gets close range
9472s	missile damage bonus and
9475s	projectiles this can use a command burst
9477s	which now means you could have a blops
9479s	capable battle cruiser that can spring
9482s	command burst onto onto a
9484s	grid uh but this does get an optimal
9486s	range falloff for projectiles and
9489s	missiles so this becomes a little bit
9491s	more blurred where this this can project
9493s	a little further than Destroyer can yes
9496s	correct I mean there there's still as as
9498s	seen there there's still a bonus to
9500s	heavy assault missiles compared to heavy
9503s	missiles you obviously you don't want it
9504s	to be really long range as um some heavy
9508s	missile Doctrine ships are um based
9511s	version of the it's not the like the
9513s	double bonus that some ships get to to
9515s	range and like you said the bonus is
9518s	kind of tied to the heavy assaults but
9520s	you can if you want put heavy missiles
9522s	on this uh and completely Speck a fleet
9524s	into that if you wanted to AB this only
9528s	gets half and half so it's another very
9530s	interesting setup where he gets three
9532s	turrets three
9533s	launchers uh a slot for a cloak and then
9536s	the medium breacher pod uh does this
9539s	work exactly like the other one yes ex
9541s	exactly the same the only difference is
9543s	slightly larger range and also more DPS
9546s	so this one can put up to a th000
9549s	DPS a th000 DPS that's a lot of damage
9554s	mhm uh it also reaches to 12 km when
9557s	fully skilled uh at the base it's it's
9559s	going to be 8 km that can be quite a big
9562s	difference if you talk about grapple
9563s	range and how it applies up close versus
9565s	further away it could also be dancing on
9568s	that edge of scram web range where you
9570s	want to keep someone scram webbed but
9572s	dip out of them scramming you making use
9575s	of that web bonus mhm um here I've
9578s	pushed the ship into uh specking both
9581s	for damage on autoc cannons and for the
9583s	heavy assault
9585s	missiles uh and it's a high number for
9589s	battle cruiser
9591s	oh
9592s	yes so if I turn off the the breacher
9595s	Pod this gets to have uh a medium set of
9598s	drones has enough for a couple of lights
9601s	on top of that as well uh but I mean
9604s	that's a lot of damage from from turrets
9606s	missiles and drones combined just that
9608s	on its own right that is a lot of damage
9611s	and then you count in the fact that it
9613s	does have a potentially thousand DPS uh
9617s	damage over time it'll take for 70 5
9620s	Seconds uh this is going to be a bit of
9623s	a monster mhm I am incredibly excited to
9627s	see what people do with this thing uh
9630s	and I can't wait to fly it myself either
9631s	this uh could finally start brawling
9634s	again and kill things quick enough
9636s	hopefully I I'm absolutely the same I
9639s	cannot wait to FY this ship I mean I I
9641s	really think the the current specs of
9643s	this ship like we're we're sort of
9645s	almost going to be changing the way that
9647s	at least small gang fights occur
9650s	and it's like will likely try and push
9653s	back towards more broadly matter for
9655s	sure we we'll see how the the small
9658s	gangers feel about it I'm sure a lot of
9660s	soloers will feel confident in this yeah
9663s	i' be terrified to see someone like I
9665s	Beast or something in the ship like this
9669s	um I do want to do some tests I want to
9671s	undock in this I want to go to a place
9674s	where we actually got CCB convict
9676s	waiting uh and we want to show the the
9678s	weapon system actually
9680s	in in effect we want to shoot him with a
9683s	couple of breacher
9685s	PODS uh what is your
9688s	your what do you think is going to
9689s	happen here with the the first Target
9691s	the Kel do you think he stands a chance
9694s	I mean I I'd say absolutely
9697s	not I think once the ship gets into
9700s	close
9700s	range and it gets Target locked down
9704s	there isn't much it's going to do so I'm
9706s	going to scram web him first here so
9707s	I've caught my target here obviously we
9710s	could do a lot of damage with our our
9712s	our weapons but I just want to shoot one
9714s	breacher pot at
9716s	him uh as you can tell this is a a
9718s	missile type that goes to him and now
9721s	it's going to start ticking for 251
9723s	damage that's dependent on the the size
9727s	well the HP of his ship uh we should see
9731s	different numbers here when I shoot him
9733s	in the r snake afterwards is that
9734s	correct correct yes yeah so so as I
9737s	mentioned before the the formula has two
9740s	two different variations so it's it's
9741s	1,000 DPS or 1% of the ship's H or one%
9746s	of the ship's health and it picks the
9748s	lowest so in this case it's uh two 251
9754s	essentially we we don't really wanted to
9756s	be doing a th000 DPS directly to a ship
9759s	that only has 7,000 health because then
9761s	it do that would be a little bit rough
9764s	it would be yeah exactly so does it take
9767s	the the health pool of the ship before
9769s	before or after you've put any modules
9771s	on it so if you put a bunch of Shield
9773s	extenders on it would it be taking more
9775s	damage yes it would take more damage
9777s	it's it's uh from the moment the
9779s	breacher Pod hits it then takes the
9782s	total HP of the ship so you can tell now
9785s	I've only hit him once and he's now he I
9788s	believe he was Shield fit this is going
9790s	to be
9791s	taking I think it's about to stop now
9794s	yeah it put him into 25% armor with just
9798s	one application
9800s	of a medium breacher pod yeah obviously
9803s	if I had been shooting him on top of
9805s	this reiring my breacher pod I mean
9808s	drones out and all that Shang this is
9810s	one brutal little brawler not little at
9813s	all actually no um but there is
9817s	obviously the the difficulty of being in
9820s	Brawl range in Eve if you're in braw
9822s	range that's usually where you end up
9824s	dying very quickly yourself yes you end
9826s	up getting caught by whatever backup
9828s	shows up as well mhm um but if we
9831s	remember that number 251 if we could ask
9833s	M conry to hop into the rattlesnake if
9836s	he boards that we can see what type of
9838s	damage the breacher Pod would be doing
9840s	against a much bigger Target and then
9842s	afterwards to a fly catcher much smaller
9847s	Target I will so this time around we're
9851s	going to shoot him and then we're
9851s	actually going to swap to his POV uh and
9854s	we're going to only see uh what this
9856s	looks like on his end we're going to
9858s	shoot him and see it's now 793 that is
9862s	taking down and if we swap over to
9864s	convict's point of view for a second I
9867s	could now just fly away having done my
9869s	damage to
9871s	him um I could have maybe someone else
9874s	Point him and hold him at range if he's
9877s	not quick enough I could cloak and just
9879s	chill next to him but it's still taking
9882s	down and if he leaves this grid if he
9884s	warps away uh he will still continue to
9888s	take 79 damage in this case for 75
9892s	seconds without me having to be close
9895s	and and be in the danger zone so to
9897s	speak what are the ways to stop the
9899s	damage from taking
9901s	down so really at this point once you've
9904s	been in like hit by the breach pod the
9907s	way that you would stop it
9908s	conventionally is you would need to make
9909s	sure that you have some sort of local
9911s	rep or or remote rep that can counter
9913s	the amount of damage that's being been
9915s	given now obviously um one of the things
9918s	when it comes to say Logistics is that
9920s	it's a very sustained amount of damage
9922s	so it's not like you're being bursted
9923s	down and so therefore like it could be
9925s	quite easy for a logistics ship to kind
9927s	of catch that and and negate that effect
9930s	um but the other alternative is to to
9932s	dock uh if you dock there's the the
9935s	damage goes away um but obviously if
9937s	you're affected by weapon timer you may
9939s	be denied entry to the the the structure
9943s	so you may end up uh like not being able
9945s	to get to Safety in time so I believe if
9948s	you leave system as well is the other
9950s	other way would it be only three Gates
9952s	or what
9953s	about so we're still trying to figure
9956s	out with the worm Hall stuff I mean
9959s	probably uh likely it would uh be the
9962s	same but we just need to make sure that
9963s	we want from a from a balance point of
9965s	view that that's that's okay so a lot of
9967s	Wormhole fights happen both sides of a
9969s	wormhole as well exactly so it could be
9972s	an interesting way to to juggle it as
9974s	well because you do end up polarizing
9976s	yourself at some point and then you're
9977s	still stuck there with a
9981s	um so docking up leaving system those
9984s	are the two ways to to kind of stop the
9988s	damage completely yes but also if you
9991s	have to be in the system or on a
9993s	different grid you can still repair this
9996s	uh and and the target would in some
9998s	cases be able to stay alive yeah that's
10001s	that's right yeah and the other thing is
10002s	that we when we um looking at the DPS as
10006s	well one thing that we we from a design
10008s	design philosophy that we wanted to
10010s	install is that this this one weapon
10012s	won't completely destroy the ship so 75
10016s	seconds 1% like Health each time uh you
10020s	know you you'll take a lot of damage but
10022s	we don't want this to be you press this
10025s	one button and the person dies like that
10026s	would just be that would be too broken
10028s	at least the get go but I mean if I put
10031s	this weapon on someone who's already
10033s	heard it can still finish them off right
10036s	correct yes correct so this isn't some
10038s	like in in many there ways to do damage
10040s	over time in some cases it does a lot of
10042s	damage but never does the killing blow
10044s	hit this can do the killing blow but the
10047s	first hit won't just like oh you've won
10049s	because that would be be ridiculous yeah
10052s	exactly if we swap uh the Stream Point
10054s	of View back to to the mine here and we
10057s	actually lock him
10059s	up we can actually see what sort of
10062s	damage we put on him
10065s	here lock him up real
10067s	quick okay so he's going done it a
10069s	little bit of armor damage
10071s	78% uh it was taking a lot harder he
10073s	does have way more
10075s	buffer if we hit him again here it's
10077s	just going to continue again it'll start
10079s	hitting the shields completely ignoring
10081s	all resists it'll continue doing this
10083s	damage number throughout the shields as
10086s	it goes into armor it'll keep doing the
10088s	same damage number because it's based on
10090s	the HP total of the ship it's got
10092s	nothing to do with individual HP levels
10094s	of The Shield armor and hole MH um
10099s	yeah there are small explosion effects
10102s	so you can you can kind of see that
10103s	there are like it's being blown up from
10105s	the inside in various places so you can
10107s	tell if a ship has this effect on it mhm
10110s	so you C could look at a Target and go
10113s	hey he's been hit with this thing and in
10116s	this case it actually just took two
10117s	breacher pods to finish him
10120s	off um and goodbye rattlesnake but that
10122s	is of course uh 75 seconds no Twice
10127s	sorry yeah um
10130s	that's a it's a pretty good way to kill
10131s	a big Target however people probably
10134s	think well is this the way that to solve
10136s	dealing with vargar are dealing with
10138s	local tanks will still tank this up
10140s	quite well and this was a buffer fit so
10143s	this thing uh oh I don't actually get
10144s	kill Ms on the server but this thing was
10149s	very extender fit kind of Fleet fit in a
10151s	way um a local tanked ship would be
10154s	taken less damage and would be able to W
10156s	that up and fight that damage correct
10160s	cat boosters would being burned it be it
10162s	would help you kind of Whittle them down
10165s	so yeah and just as an extra note you'll
10170s	notice that when you have fired the
10171s	preacher pod you will see um in your
10174s	buff bar at the top of your cap you will
10178s	see that like that you have affected
10180s	someone with the breacher but equally
10182s	the person that is affected by the
10184s	breacher will have a you are under the
10186s	effect of uh of the breacher
10189s	that way um because obviously the the
10191s	graphics are beautiful but we also have
10193s	to consider the like how we message that
10195s	to the the person if they have low
10198s	graphical settings good point so you
10201s	can't tell that you've you've hit
10203s	something if we get conic to hop into a
10205s	fly catcher this time around actually I
10207s	can't lock the while he's oh no he was
10209s	quick enough to board
10211s	it uh we should see a significantly
10213s	lower damage than we saw with both of
10216s	these two yeah so if we hit him
10219s	it's only doing 101 which is you know
10222s	it'll Whittle down but it's is not
10223s	something that'll quickly deal with a
10225s	fly catcher
10226s	that but let's say you're being bubbled
10229s	by several if you're able to put this on
10231s	different targets every time this is
10233s	going to whittle them down and then you
10234s	could obviously finish them off yeah
10236s	with your normal weapon
10238s	systems I think this is a very exciting
10242s	weapon I think these are incredibly
10243s	exciting ships uh are there any
10246s	limitations to the dot though you can't
10249s	as far as I understand put them on on
10251s	structures is that correct that's
10253s	correct yes so they're not there go are
10257s	there any other things that it cannot
10259s	hit um at at this point no so we we're
10263s	mostly focused on uh mostly focused on
10266s	ships um making sure that that you know
10269s	the damage works well on ships and also
10272s	the interactions between those um but
10274s	that that's essentially what we what
10276s	we've uh targeted this this weapon to be
10279s	have to
10280s	shoot so you can use this against NPCs
10284s	yes sorry yeah I to to mention this is
10286s	this can be used in PVE as well you can
10288s	shoot NPCs it's essentially it's if it's
10291s	a the ship it's a valid Target
10292s	regardless of whether it's a um an AI or
10296s	a player using it one interesting uh
10299s	thing that we've been talking about in
10300s	the community area is because these are
10302s	like the whole deathless versus Drifters
10305s	it' be interesting if uh if people put
10307s	this on Drifters to negate the the
10310s	Doomsday that it happens right to like
10312s	pop this on one and then leave and see
10313s	if the Drifter keeps taking down it'll
10315s	be interesting ways to use this PVE wise
10318s	as well um yeah I'm I'm incredibly
10322s	excited for the ships I don't know what
10323s	else to say uh they seem to be working
10326s	better against bigger targets mhm they
10330s	you know in some way like maybe you
10332s	don't want to be that close to a varer
10334s	that showed up to fight you but if you
10336s	can pop one of these and then dip and
10339s	then watch it just slowly Whittle down
10342s	it could win you some fights that you
10343s	couldn't possibly win before but we'll
10345s	uh we'll see do you have anything else
10348s	to add before we we call it here I was
10351s	going to say I would be really
10352s	interested to see like oneone via Vara
10355s	like how the sener would actually
10357s	because obviously like such high DPS um
10361s	you know but obviously varer also has
10363s	high DPS I'd be interested to see like I
10366s	don't know if you want to get that close
10367s	to a varer ever yeah
10369s	maybe you can dip in close put this on
10371s	and then use your web resist to get out
10374s	of range and maybe you'll get out of
10376s	there we'll see I don't think this is
10378s	the complete solution to it especially
10380s	the active tanked ones they'll just W
10382s	through it but it'll definitely burn a
10384s	leather capat boosters uh in some cases
10387s	uh depending on their fit it could it
10390s	could significantly help in in some
10391s	situations where you're fighting much
10393s	bigger targets yes I'm also honestly I'm
10395s	I'm excited to see what theory Crafters
10397s	do with this in Fleet set settings in
10400s	like you can try to over propop these
10402s	you could H demand these and go into ESS
10404s	where you have a web resist you could go
10407s	you know you could do all kinds of crazy
10409s	things with these that I cannot wait to
10411s	see people try and try and experiment
10414s	with absolutely I'm also one thing I'm
10417s	really fascinated to see is um if Fleet
10420s	commanders use potentially like wings of
10423s	these in big Fleet fights because
10425s	obviously that you wouldn't want this as
10426s	a Doctrine ship but as a force mod
10428s	multiplier in a in a fleet engagement
10431s	this could be really interesting so I'd
10432s	like to see something like that where
10435s	it's like oh yeah we take in you know
10437s	five cats to spread damage across the
10440s	the fleet that kind of thing to kind of
10441s	like stress out the logistics or
10443s	something try and use that sort of Hit
10445s	and Run tactics feel like how um you
10448s	know command destroyers are used in in
10450s	fleets these days where it's like you
10451s	use the command Destroyer to try and
10453s	separate portions of the fleet from each
10455s	other like I'd love to see that kind of
10457s	that only have to to get into that
10459s	danger zone for a little while and then
10462s	they could you know decloak hit a Target
10465s	burn away and then cloak up again and
10467s	then and then hope for the best yeah now
10470s	I've landed my hit and I know this is
10471s	going ticking and it's going to be
10474s	interesting to see how people use it and
10476s	in what situations they think it's most
10477s	useful mhm um I think we're at the end
10481s	of our time this is actually a
10482s	pre-recorded segment like the last one
10484s	being shown in the the break on the at
10486s	on the finals I have no idea who is
10488s	competing next cuz it's not happening
10490s	yet so whoever is about to compete good
10493s	luck um thank you so much CCB trash
10495s	binder for showing up and uh helping me
10498s	explain the mercenary Den the uh
10501s	encrypted infom morphs to give a deep
10504s	dive on the ships themselves and how the
10506s	damage system works appreciate your time
10508s	thank you very much for coming
10521s	welcome back to the Grand finals of
10523s	Alliance tournament 20 the grand finals
10526s	mystical M you joined us back in the
10528s	desk we did it we made it we made it we
10530s	made it we're here it only took us like
10532s	60 odd matches plus the featers of
10534s	course but we are here and shout out to
10537s	platinum sensitivity who just went out
10538s	uh in the uh the last match uh they take
10541s	third place in L tournament 20 well done
10544s	they came through feeders tuskers and
10545s	Truth on the light of course both
10547s	finished top four last year so got
10549s	invites to this one they didn't have to
10550s	go through the gauntlet of feeders plan
10552s	sensitivity they came through that
10553s	Gauntlet so they've had to do uh not
10555s	just this weekend not just last weekend
10557s	but two other weekends potentially I
10558s	can't remember how they did in uh the
10560s	feeders whether they sort of won and
10562s	went in which I would expect for a team
10563s	of their caliber but I actually don't
10565s	remember so um we are 5 minutes away by
10569s	looking at this screen from the first
10571s	match in our best of five grand final
10575s	the tuskers co going up against truth
10577s	honor light thank so exciting stuff so
10580s	so many excites so many excites what are
10582s	we what are we expecting here so truth
10584s	on a lie they have that Flagship in
10586s	their back pocket they have not lost
10587s	their Flagship the tuskers have Mr G
10589s	that's got to be making a a lot of
10591s	decision changes in this this matchup
10594s	I'm just hoping for the funniest thing
10595s	to happen I think the funniest thing
10597s	that could happen is you know tuskers
10599s	win the first two matches oh no and then
10602s	and then oh no out of nowhere I hope
10604s	you're not watching tuskers little
10605s	reverse sweet not again I think it would
10607s	be hilarious um I'm I'm expecting some
10610s	some interesting wacky comps again yeah
10612s	we're not going to be seeing any
10612s	flagships from tuskers since they lost
10614s	theirs earlier in the day I do expect to
10616s	see some truth on the light flagships
10618s	coming out especially since they have um
10620s	you know there's there's hopefully going
10623s	to be five matches yep if if we're if
10624s	we're lucky we'll get five if we're
10626s	unlucky we'll get three mhm um it's very
10630s	difficult to get four very difficult to
10632s	get four but not impossible is it
10633s	mathematically impossible no cuz you're
10635s	three in one we saw four impossible in
10638s	fact we might get four we could we might
10640s	get four you know it's really hard to
10641s	get two two is very difficult yeah very
10643s	difficult it's not that hard someone has
10645s	to for it right we can look at the bands
10647s	though the teams are almost in system so
10648s	let's take a quick look at the bands
10649s	before we go over there so the tusker is
10651s	co again no Conquest bands in effect
10653s	right now they welome into effect after
10655s	this first match the tuskers co Banning
10657s	of the EOS the curse the pilgrim and the
10659s	Sentinel lot of tracking disruption off
10660s	the field they've banned that EOS a
10661s	couple times before so they don't like
10663s	it uh truth on light Banning out the
10664s	hugan the Rapier the guardian and the
10666s	augurer black pirate what are your
10668s	thoughts on these bans so I'm going to
10670s	I'm going to look at the truth honor
10671s	light bands here because if there is a
10673s	one team who loves using hugan and then
10675s	we'll use rapers if they can't uh
10677s	tuskers traditionally and also we've
10679s	been seeing them use both the guardian
10681s	and the augur as their primary Lodi
10683s	ships for the entire tournament in fact
10685s	some of their strategies basically
10687s	require you to have a guardian I think
10688s	because it's you know doing all sorts of
10689s	Guardian like things like a big bigly
10692s	reps and cap transfers so yeah this is I
10695s	mean this is targeted you know you know
10696s	truth honor light has probably spent the
10698s	last two hours just like it's time we're
10701s	ready for this we know what we're doing
10702s	we're going to Haze them yep I feel like
10704s	the balar Widow comp is open here yes
10707s	yeah it is it it's open FL from um yeah
10713s	I mean we might see I expect we would
10714s	see that probably like match two or
10715s	three yeah I I think I agree I think
10717s	what's likely is both teams going to be
10719s	kind of feeling each other out I think
10720s	we're going get some Clowny fast stuff
10722s	here this could be either a 3 minute
10724s	match or potentially 10-minute match but
10725s	I would lean towards the shorter of this
10727s	one one way or the other I think is
10728s	going to be fast what do you think uh
10731s	Bart b from the bti be from the bisti
10733s	yeah uh this is this is the one that I
10736s	think like right off the bat you know
10738s	there there's a little bit of anger I
10739s	think on at least one of these teams
10741s	Parts I could see this is the one where
10742s	they're like uh you know Screw we're
10743s	going to Shield drush you down or we're
10745s	going to do some uh Shenanigans we
10747s	haven't seen tuskers use anything like
10748s	that so it could be a surprise um I I do
10751s	think this is going to be a quick one
10752s	which means it's going to not be because
10754s	we're always wrong but uh you know I I
10756s	think it'll be a quicker one at least
10758s	one of the quicker ones but you know
10761s	we'll find out let's go find out I see
10763s	the teams are in system so this is match
10764s	one of the grand finals here in Alliance
10767s	tournament
10769s	20 hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to
10773s	the Grand finals of Alliance tournament
10774s	20 20 years of tournaments glory honor
10780s	and Conquest has brought us here to the
10782s	very first of these matches between
10783s	truth honor light tuskers bringing their
10786s	potato composition and ta H deciding to
10789s	go with navy Armageddon so Tusk is
10792s	bringing the same comp we've seen a
10794s	couple of times now and obviously for
10796s	Tru on the light bringing a Navy Aman
10798s	and an Aman and aam I mean I don't know
10800s	about this tuskers comp will this get
10802s	will this break we were talking about
10803s	this when they came on grid will the
10805s	Dominic just break the Z I don't know
10807s	truly I'm not entirely sure because I
10809s	mean you look at the attack bar you have
10811s	to think okay the Armageddon and the
10813s	Navy Armageddon they're N Boats right
10815s	the Dominic's also have been fit with
10817s	NES a lot but one of the issues though
10819s	is that the Navy Armageddon and the
10821s	Armageddon can nude out for a little bit
10823s	uh further naturally than uh the tuskers
10826s	co the duskers Dominic as they get drone
10828s	damage bonus they don't get a new Range
10829s	bonus right Cur is dropped by the uh by
10832s	Domin right now um looks like they're
10834s	trying to go for the crucifier but I
10835s	think this is going to be really hard
10836s	for switching to the pontif effects now
10838s	I think it be really hard for tuskers to
10840s	get through but no damage right now
10841s	coming from TR light they're going to
10843s	have to try and get in obviously looks
10844s	like um Tusk Co kind of burning away and
10847s	the g are kind of going in yeah it see
10849s	appears that the entirety of the tuskers
10850s	team is wanting to burn for one of these
10852s	micro jump dive beacons and so far it
10855s	looks like THL is just prepositioning
10858s	themselves so that they can't get jumped
10859s	on we see that the genon the Navy
10861s	armagedon are closing a little bit and
10863s	from the beacon you know to the center
10865s	of the Arena it's about 75 kmet there
10867s	about you just don't want to have all
10869s	these domies land on you at zero and
10871s	then completely n you dry THL opting to
10874s	put their drones on the curators going
10876s	to going to get rid of the tusker
10877s	sentries which is which is definitely a
10878s	good move get them down they never going
10880s	to come back again yeah we were talking
10882s	about this when barcode um you know my
10884s	team got knocked out of the tournament
10885s	and then when um you know uh the uh
10889s	Japanese team of Mark Bridges who it
10891s	turned out was actually destructible in
10893s	his Flagship right he was they were
10895s	trying to oh and we have a micro jump
10897s	drive play going the Dominic's are
10898s	driving into the backline they are
10900s	trying to get on top of what looked like
10903s	the Magus and verdict um it looks like
10906s	however they have caught Lucius Quan
10908s	with a web using that shimu it appears
10912s	have gotten tackle on the armarm so if
10913s	they can get NES and get a counter on T
10916s	on top of that zarm they could end the
10918s	match right here but the zarm is
10919s	slipping the web now reapplied he's they
10921s	get this Z down an absolutely incredible
10923s	play the web just dropped now TP still
10925s	on him I think Tas is trying to go for
10927s	the helm area here get the Z down but
10928s	he's not tackled anymore and he's moving
10930s	away scram on the do just dropped now
10932s	shimu is Webb and scrammed I'm I'm
10934s	expecting THL War they're going for the
10935s	vexa right now I think I think arm
10938s	actually hit an mjd himself he wasn't
10940s	scrammed it looks like he was uh
10942s	originally around 70 km off I think he
10944s	might have been jumped when they saw the
10946s	jump going on him but the ponx is now
10949s	completely out of range Lucius Quan is
10951s	very much in Nar and that ponx will go
10953s	down shortly if that spool can't ramp up
10955s	quickly trading Ponte for vexa if the
10957s	well looks like T in the Ponte is about
10959s	to go down and that's critically that's
10962s	the armor links right the megas is going
10963s	to probably be the Skirmish here that
10965s	vexer I mean I'm going to trade links
10967s	for a single vex every day of the week
10970s	definitely vexer is holding on for
10972s	tusers but I think he is going to go
10973s	down been another mjd play V mam has
10976s	jumped onto the backline is getting NES
10978s	on top of Lucius Quan and that Dominics
10981s	uh is gotten you know hard NES and
10983s	paints on top of his arm and now there's
10985s	an angry flight of drones getting on top
10988s	of Lucius Quan I mean yes he's going to
10990s	have a good amount of local tank but
10991s	you're not going to be able to hold up
10993s	to that flight of drones Lucas call
10995s	Public Enemy Number one for the tuskers
10997s	team right now come he's into half armor
10999s	Abs if they get him down this is a sure
11001s	win for tuskers yeah I mean it looks
11003s	like this uh arm is going to be
11005s	basically tenament after burning but
11006s	he's slowing down his cap I mean might
11008s	be entirely dry cuz he doesn't have any
11010s	sort of prop mod keeping him up and with
11012s	that that's going to be the armarm off
11014s	of the board uh tusker is probably going
11016s	to look to try to clear out the uh you
11018s	know the Magus here these vexor and
11020s	again this is another situation where
11022s	the celestus and the arbitrator do
11024s	nothing for you because of the Drone
11025s	comp you can just assign your drones if
11027s	you're damped out right you say hey I
11029s	can't lock but I can give it to my buddy
11031s	who can lock and that's the power of
11033s	these comps I mean Vex nav you're going
11034s	to go go down for tusas but I don't
11036s	think it matters we just saw the Magus
11037s	go down as well uh for two light so
11039s	links off the off the field for THL
11041s	vexa's next primary down vexa Navy does
11044s	go down four tuskers but I do think
11045s	they're such in the lead right now
11046s	aren't they they got inquisitors they
11047s	got Lodi and they still got the damage
11049s	from the DOI I me THL still have you can
11051s	see the control bar for both teams and
11053s	for TR lights really really big so they
11055s	still have some control but I think this
11057s	is an uphill battle for TL yeah I mean
11059s	now the vexer is going to go down here
11061s	and The Inquisitor Tak Jagger over in uh
11066s	he does go down Jagger does finally go
11068s	down here so Blackstar his support buddy
11071s	uh is going to be in kind of a world of
11072s	heart there's a you know cloud of drones
11074s	that are angrily angrily chasing after
11076s	him I mean Tusk is really needs to
11078s	capitalized on this lead right now cuz
11079s	they're going to go for the second
11080s	Inquisitor they get that down they sort
11081s	of Truth like can I choring their way
11084s	back into this match but they still have
11085s	three Dominics to get through so the vas
11087s	is going to be next Target for Tru from
11089s	light and I think it's time go for the
11090s	battleships I think for tuskers yeah so
11092s	what we see that miraie and vld are
11095s	doing is they are getting full n
11097s	pressure onto AIA duck space here and to
11099s	Blue melon and the idea being okay
11102s	you're a NBO but I'm also you know a n
11104s	boat if I'm in range right we were
11106s	talking about how the Navy Armageddon
11108s	can you know um nude out further but
11111s	once you're you know in close you have
11112s	the same amount of N and I mean it looks
11114s	like the Dominic is yeah they're being
11116s	damp but that's celestus I mean battle
11118s	have very good sensors and if you're
11119s	that close I mean look at vld he's on
11122s	top of Med on top right on top of each
11124s	other and we're seeing there's a bit bit
11125s	talking going on local right now um read
11128s	read like a book from from Jager at the
11131s	moment it's a bit of talking
11133s	local so he's been known to be um a bit
11136s	of a character um sometimes his mental
11139s	is strong sometimes it is weak uh but he
11142s	is um talking trash right now um and
11145s	it's understandable right you have to
11147s	kind of hype yourself up you got swept
11148s	basically 02 and now you're going to go
11151s	up in the grand finals 10 right now they
11154s	still don't have their Flagship though
11156s	critically again tuskers doesn't have
11158s	their flag Bal Gorn and Truth on and
11160s	light they also have a BAL Gorn right
11162s	that they declared this Navy Armageddon
11164s	this Armageddon they're just regular you
11165s	know faction ships um if they go down I
11169s	mean yeah the cost is irrelevant right
11171s	what matters is a match point I mean the
11173s	I mean AIA dark space in the Navy arm
11175s	will go down the second but not only
11176s	without F taking a bit of damage maybe
11178s	going for him just for a bit of a laugh
11180s	as well but I think tusa's playing this
11182s	really well I wasn't expecting that the
11184s	plays all these plays these MGD plays
11186s	were actually just come out of nowhere
11187s	and and probably won the game I was
11189s	going to say at the very beginning right
11190s	we saw tuskers jump into the backline
11192s	they got initial tackle on Lucius Quan
11194s	it looked like Lucius then mjed himself
11197s	to 100 and then another Battleship
11199s	decided I'm going to jump back on top of
11201s	you so you know Mr Lucas qu dodging
11204s	around yeah I mean you're basically
11206s	being chased after like Angry potato and
11208s	instead uh you know the potatoes ended
11210s	up mashing him so good job it definitely
11213s	was the right call I think CU we said
11215s	that at the beginning of the match like
11216s	how are they going to get their arm down
11217s	and the Jet the mjd plays was the answer
11220s	which we didn't even see first B down
11223s	four T obviously this is now a clean up
11225s	for tuskers still got inqu to left three
11228s	dominates left now I'm really interested
11229s	to see what they're going to bring next
11230s	match cuz this you know they've played
11232s	them this is like their fourth their
11234s	third match and critically actually
11237s	tusker
11238s	in the very first match against um
11241s	Platinum sensitivity they brought this
11243s	exact comp literally to a ship and
11245s	crucially what's going to happen is
11247s	we're going to go into the conquest band
11249s	So tusker's Co will not be allowed to
11250s	bring any of the ships that they won
11252s	with so you can't bring a Dominic an
11254s	aimo or vexor Navy or megas pontif
11256s	effect truth ler light can bring any of
11258s	those ships but critically if your
11262s	tuskers you don't really care that that
11264s	much if you can't bring any of these
11266s	ships until game five except for the
11268s	megas and the ponteix those are pretty
11269s	valuable yeah the of it but the rest of
11272s	it it's like I beat you with kind of
11274s	almost like a cheese comp and these
11276s	aren't like kind of like the core meta
11278s	ships until I mean they beat us with it
11280s	in barcode they beat Platinum
11282s	sensitivity with it they yeah they beat
11285s	truth on in light who knew that potatoes
11288s	were the key to Victory you have to get
11289s	your uh get your vegetables and your
11291s	starch blue melon going down in second
11294s	Navy neon sorry with one minute I think
11296s	there'll be a completely clean up here I
11297s	think they're going to get them all but
11298s	yeah I mean the who your thought triple
11300s	Dominics will VOD go down I don't think
11302s	he will triple Dominic just bring it out
11304s	in this tournament they've played it a
11305s	couple of times I'll be interested to
11307s	see what they do next I think this is
11308s	the big because once we get past these
11310s	first matches as you said things start
11312s	to get harder for for both teams uh you
11315s	know in terms of like the the lack of
11316s	ships if you're winning all the time
11318s	yeah I mean uh we were almost wondering
11320s	earlier on if a judging by the defense
11322s	part if these um you know Dominic's were
11326s	actually whole tanked because that would
11327s	be the single most mirror brain thing to
11329s	ever happen right is to bait you into
11331s	going into you know whole tank dami but
11334s	um these may very well be armored but I
11335s	don't think we're going to find out I
11336s	think V is going to survive find out
11339s	hang on he's going to hang on just a
11341s	little bit we see that The Inquisitor of
11342s	Blackstar who credit to him I mean he
11345s	survived even after Jagger you know had
11348s	been killed early on by the angry drone
11351s	cloud from those vexes of nith and
11353s	verdict you know getting kind of that
11355s	secondary tackle so I mean really well
11358s	played by tuskers really well played by
11360s	tuskers they've brought three Dominic's
11362s	and they've won three like very critical
11365s	like match points with it like must win
11367s	matches I know you seeing brain St local
11369s	saying die
11371s	vld not today I don't think he's going
11373s	to say the the plays in this match 30
11376s	seconds left on the match the plays
11377s	though the jump drive you know the M jum
11379s	driving was actually incredible and
11380s	actually is something in that in that
11382s	quick succession I haven't seen before
11384s	in the last tourament I didn't think
11385s	yeah so vld is going to survive in 12
11387s	12% of his structure um that is going to
11390s	be a brain star going down and now the
11392s	crucifier does go down so um with 12
11396s	seconds left uh tuskers does finally
11398s	clean off the grid and clean their
11401s	pallet with plenty of potato we're going
11404s	to send it back to the desk after before
11406s	this break
11450s	and there you have it tuskers taking the
11452s	first victory in this best of Five
11454s	series over truth on Al light so they
11457s	got over earlier on they got tilted
11459s	probably they came in they beat platinum
11461s	in a comfortable 2-n win and now they
11464s	have one point up over truth honor light
11466s	now of course again as I mentioned truth
11468s	on light still have their Flagship so
11470s	this is you know very much not over
11472s	there's plenty plenty more to go in this
11474s	particular tournament uh blackb pirate
11477s	triple da wins again 3 nil triple Dy
11480s	yeah actually I think every dy's won
11483s	right we saw the graph remember one Dy
11485s	won three domies one we haven't seen two
11487s	domies yet we don't want to see two
11488s	domies is the Dominic the Apex ship of
11491s	allance predor I mean how can I argue
11493s	against the the facts the stats they
11495s	speak for themselves they do indeed
11497s	speak for themselves so that was an
11499s	interesting matchup because that was
11500s	essentially um what tuskers brought
11503s	against in their second match against
11505s	Platinum sensitivity and interestingly
11507s	what what truth on a light brought was
11509s	very similar to what uh Platinum
11511s	sensitivity brought as well instead of
11512s	two arbitrators though they had celestus
11514s	an arbitrator Bart obviously you can
11516s	track and disrupt drones if you if you
11518s	feel like it I mean better than doing
11520s	nothing I guess but that feels like um
11523s	uh they got red a little bit there yeah
11525s	possibly even like a book how strange
11527s	how strange weird so tell tell me what
11530s	what do you think was going through
11530s	toite when they landed on gr and saw
11532s	those three dummies uh so they probably
11534s	I mean I would expect them to be good
11536s	enough to know that they were like well
11537s	this is not really what we want to do
11540s	but it's not like completely over um I
11542s	think they had a they had a chance the
11544s	entire time though obviously you know at
11546s	least one of your ships like the
11547s	arbitrator basically useless like yes
11550s	you can track and disrupt drones but
11553s	it's not really that useful especially
11555s	like if they're heavy drones like
11556s	they're still going to apply damage or
11557s	they're not going to because the ships
11559s	that you're shooting at not because of
11560s	how track and disrupted they are um I do
11562s	think that like you know the funny thing
11564s	about this was is that tuskers brought
11567s	the same con against what was very
11568s	similar like that what Platinum
11570s	sensitivity brought they flew it the
11572s	exact same way with the exact same plan
11575s	by mjd behind the line and killing links
11578s	yep so they just repeated it they're
11579s	like huh well but if we just run the
11581s	same thing twice yeah Thrice some might
11583s	even say thce actually yeah well the the
11584s	first time they did it they didn't need
11586s	MGD but um you know they did tusker did
11588s	the same tactic they flew up to the
11589s	beacon they sat there and they're like
11591s	okay and you know just a little bit of a
11594s	uh the meme of the math like doing that
11596s	and then like okay go and and then they
11597s	went in and jumped in and finished off
11599s	so uh I mean look it luas Quan in the uh
11602s	the zarz he almost got away at one point
11605s	um he looked like he was getting webbed
11607s	and then unwebbed and webbed again and I
11608s	was like are they going to actually
11609s	catch him and and lock him down and then
11611s	they were able to swap onto the the
11613s	links and I'm not sure if maybe like
11614s	Lucas was just pushed a little bit too
11616s	far out of position at that point he did
11617s	come back in he does have those long
11618s	bonus range armor reps Misty uh and he
11622s	just about looked like he were going to
11623s	try and catch the P effect but I think
11624s	the damage was too too heavy on him at
11626s	that point and the P effects went down I
11628s	think I dubbed that moment V's Revenge
11630s	because vld in The Dominics had managed
11632s	to get close to Lucas Quan at least
11634s	close enough to start running the NES um
11637s	we did see the pon effect catching in
11639s	about half structure um but then the NES
11642s	turned off the prop mod turned off on
11643s	the AR and yeah the P Pon effect fell
11647s	and then the AR wasn't able to get away
11648s	from the Dominic's so I do think it was
11651s	a case of really good positioning and
11652s	piloting from the Dominic's to be able
11654s	to get around the grid they didn't stick
11656s	together but you don't necessarily need
11657s	to with drone comps because you're able
11659s	to move around and your damage if you're
11661s	using heavy drones will move around the
11662s	grid with you or if you're using sentes
11664s	then it's a static kind of in placement
11666s	which would then just kind of blast
11668s	whatever ship you're you're pointing
11669s	them at um so yeah I I think Lucas
11673s	definitely had some issues in that match
11675s	um it didn't seem like there was much in
11677s	the way of screening on the truth on the
11678s	light side they dedicated a lot of their
11680s	ships towards the E War so the celestus
11683s	they had the crucifier they had the
11684s	arbitrator none of these ships are ones
11686s	that you want to be sending in to go
11687s	tackle things down um which means that
11689s	the Dominic has had free re to burn
11690s	around the arena and we kind of saw how
11692s	that played out now I will say I don't
11694s	think that the arbitr is necessarily
11696s	always wasted even if you're going up
11697s	against a drone comp because it does
11699s	have a drone Bay that's reasonably sized
11701s	yeah they do a decent amount of damage
11703s	it does decent damage at the end yeah
11705s	looked like the arbitrator at the end
11706s	almost was going to kill uh the last
11708s	remaining last the first Dominic he was
11710s	very slow uh very slow very low in Hull
11713s	it's been a long day words are hard
11715s	words are hard words are hard uh but he
11717s	uh the doy managed to hold on um a
11718s	pretty solid uh Victory from the tuskers
11721s	that's got to be a morale boost like
11723s	Bart you you've been in teams before you
11724s	know what it's like especially when
11725s	you've just been punched down 2N to come
11727s	back and in the first match take the the
11730s	win that's really got to make a big
11731s	morale difference to the team um I would
11733s	hope so I don't know I seem I don't know
11736s	if these people have like morale though
11738s	at this point you know it's I think uh I
11740s	think it's just it's just pure rage that
11742s	drives them on and you know like I I
11744s	think the morale for them is kind of
11746s	knowing that they yeah if you guys were
11748s	looking at like tournament General um
11750s	there's a little bit of talk by the
11751s	commentators about like what's going on
11752s	in local chat like there is a there is
11754s	some [ __ ] posting going on right here so
11756s	I think the morale boost is more maybe
11758s	not just like a yeah we're winning now
11760s	we can take this energy it's like it's
11761s	like yeah [ __ ] those guys we beat them
11763s	they were talking crap to us we kicked
11765s	their you know so yeah I did notice some
11767s	of the lines that were troed out during
11769s	the um the winners bracket final uh by
11772s	one team were trotted out by the other
11774s	team this time around I shall not be
11776s	reading out any of those words not
11777s	reading him at all no okay just just
11780s	going to keep that one clear um but we
11783s	have Conquest bands in effect now Mr
11785s	might welcome back to the desk uh I'd
11787s	like to you to talk to me about Conquest
11788s	bands especially uh in this best of five
11790s	where it starts to really stack up yeah
11792s	so Conquest bands as a concept are let's
11795s	say tuskers bring some Dominic's in
11797s	their first match and they win o fancy
11800s	spicy that's spicy um they will not be
11802s	able to F Dominic's in the next set of
11806s	matches right um the the way that the
11808s	conquest ban works for e on line
11809s	specifically is it will be banned for
11812s	the second third and fourth match if it
11814s	gets to a fifth match then all of those
11816s	bands will be cleared they'll be able to
11817s	bring the ships that they want to again
11819s	so for the second the third and the
11821s	potentially fourth match they're going
11822s	to have to figure out what other ships
11824s	they can bring to the grid which is why
11826s	ideally you want to be using duplicate
11828s	ships at this stage so three Dominic's
11830s	make sense because now of all the
11832s	battleships in the game they're only
11834s	limited by not being able to bring the
11837s	Dominic
11838s	um if they had brought a Dominic a meon
11841s	and a Navy Dominic for example that
11844s	combination of ships they would be
11845s	restricted from using all three of those
11847s	holes alongside the other ships that
11849s	they've also brought in that comp now I
11851s	don't exactly remember um whether they
11854s	had duplicate command desies in that
11857s	comp or if they had done
11859s	mag so they won't be able to use magas
11861s	Bond effects for the next that didn't
11862s	stop against
11864s	PL apparently with with a armor King
11868s	Slayer it was that was an interesting
11869s	one as well so we've seen before like
11871s	the the truth on the light some great
11874s	Theory Crafters if not the best in the
11876s	game all right just straight up sentence
11878s	like bang but Mera and some of the other
11880s	tuskers guys it's not just mea to be
11881s	clear there's a whole team effort going
11882s	on here we just say Mir lot cuz he's the
11884s	captain um but they also are cooking in
11887s	the back like they're comeing up with
11888s	some crazy stuff and although they tend
11890s	to go a little bit off the wall they're
11891s	off the ball with like I mean it works
11893s	they're in the grand finals they brought
11895s	a armor King slay with Shield command
11897s	destroyers running armor links and they
11899s	they beat Plum sensitivity you know they
11901s	are they know what they're doing they're
11902s	a solid solid team yeah I mean the I
11905s	think the tuskers in general is one of
11907s	the more more interesting teams to watch
11909s	I think it's probably also one of the
11910s	teams where you probably hate to go up
11912s	against them the most because they are
11914s	just going to pull out some random stuff
11916s	from their back pocket that you haven't
11918s	practiced against you haven't thr
11919s	drafted
11920s	for but that's what makes it interesting
11922s	for us as analysts and it's what makes
11924s	it interesting for the viewers at home
11926s	is you know okay you see
11928s	some armor stalks hit the grid along
11929s	with some oracles and tses and you're
11931s	like this is going to be a game of all
11932s	time and it turns out to be a really
11934s	good game of all time um but you don't
11936s	know which way it's going to go until it
11937s	actually happens um so such such as life
11940s	sometimes Mr such as life sometimes but
11942s	for truth on a light now that they've
11945s	they've seen the dominance comp I wonder
11946s	if the tuskers brought the dominance
11948s	comp because they thought it would be
11949s	good into something like Flagship bow
11951s	I'm not sure I don't think so I think
11954s	that they read DHL and said that okay
11955s	they're probably not going to bring
11956s	their Flagship first this is probably
11958s	going to beir decent against any medium
11959s	gun spam that they potentially bring so
11961s	we can we can feel the Dominic's first
11963s	and still have comps that would be
11964s	better at dealing with the borns later
11966s	on MH um so that's kind of what I'm
11969s	expecting tusco to be thinking but no
11970s	one really knows what they're thinking
11971s	apart from Mirror yeah spinning the
11973s	wheel
11975s	[ __ ] yeah so you got armor STS yeah yeah
11979s	all right now I see you in twitch chat
11980s	by the way I see you clamoring for the
11982s	Dominic's graph uh I seen at least four
11985s	people asking for it and I count that as
11986s	a clamor so let's see if we can throw up
11988s	this Dominic's graph uh Dominic's usage
11991s	per year in Alliance tournament uh I see
11994s	it here on my screen it was declared to
11996s	ready doy graph doy
11999s	graph did you do that is this come on
12003s	don't Alliance tournament the that's not
12005s	the same graph at all it's our graph uh
12008s	count one oh yeah this is of course we
12010s	know the win rate for one and three
12012s	Dominic's this is Big Brain math all
12015s	right now I think that means that one
12017s	Dommy has never won but three domies no
12020s	one Dommy has won 100% and three dommies
12022s	has 100% of course and it's come twice
12024s	yes and never yeah two domies has never
12027s	shown up and it can for a while at least
12030s	because of Conquest bans um there is
12032s	another uh Dominic's graph which I think
12034s	goes per year uh and shows the usage in
12036s	every Alliance tournament back to
12038s	Alliance tournament 7 potentially a more
12040s	interesting graph here we are okay so
12041s	look at this Alliance tournament 11 that
12044s	was the the the century drone era if I
12046s	remember correctly like triple domies um
12048s	triple itars that was back when also you
12051s	could feel either 12 or 14 people I
12053s	can't remember if it was 12 or 14 it was
12054s	12 yeah so there was just a a it was the
12057s	year of pressing F everyone just warped
12059s	in went 3 2 1 launch drones F launch
12062s	drones F and that was the matches uh it
12064s	was it was something and then L at 14
12068s	you know [ __ ] the Dommy who needs it and
12070s	then now we have had no domies for the
12072s	last couple of years and we're back
12073s	atance T 20 that's really surprising
12076s	that we had
12077s	no I mean not that I'm just saying I
12079s	guess that's true yeah oh yeah cuz
12081s	people would fly domy navies and lose
12082s	every time which is a different ship it
12084s	has wonder what the Dommy Navy graph
12086s	looks like probably isn't one that's not
12090s	a good one don't want to look at that
12091s	one the Dommy Navy graph is a graph of a
12093s	bunch of people going my god look how
12095s	much DPS it does if I've hit Blaster to
12096s	my Dominic Navy and losing and then
12098s	losing it happens every time do you want
12100s	me to show you how to defeat of
12101s	Dominic's Navy you're the Dominic's Navy
12103s	mhm no you can't hit me that's it I win
12106s	that does work damn wow that's czy
12110s	that's how you defeat The Dominics Navy
12111s	don't bring them they're they're not
12112s	very good unless unless oh no oh no you
12116s	know what we what Dominic's are
12120s	banned Dominic Navy is not banned M do
12123s	you know if it was any other
12126s	team wait a second but I've already de
12128s	said that they're not going to bring um
12130s	King slay cuz they don't have any armor
12133s	command destroyers left and then they
12134s	went and done it anyway so uh iest don't
12136s	really know what to expect at this point
12138s	what they're going to bring I mean the
12139s	cool thing is truth on light do still
12141s	have that Flagship available he's a
12142s	flagship Bor I am 100% convinced that
12146s	even though the the stuff that dropped
12147s	from the tuskers flagship earlier on was
12149s	great best in slot I'm pretty sure TR
12153s	already have at best in slot they just
12154s	have more best-in slots so perhaps they
12155s	can like stick at one or two little
12157s	things maybe slightly better I doubt it
12159s	if there's any team there is maxing out
12162s	it's them I know we saw barcode as well
12164s	pretty maxed out Flagship uh their
12166s	balgar died yesterday
12167s	salute to it cuz it was incredibly
12169s	expensive I'm hearing around about 6 to
12171s	700 billion there was a scram on that
12173s	thing uh someone told me there's only
12175s	like 12 have have dropped in the last
12177s	like 10 years or something like that
12178s	they're incredibly rare one of the
12179s	rarest modules in the game um and one of
12182s	them was on that uh that Balor
12185s	thankfully it didn't drop I mean didn't
12186s	die cuz it was 9% loot or well it would
12189s	have been kind of cool if it did though
12189s	if you think about it it would have been
12190s	kind of cool it sagge very sagge big
12193s	sagge um s yeah so we have about 8
12196s	minutes until our next match so again
12199s	this is the grand finals in case you
12200s	were wondering what's happened somebody
12203s	did ask some was asking is this the
12205s	grand finals yes this is the grand
12206s	finals it's a best of five so the first
12208s	team to get three wins will go home the
12211s	victors uh and in doing so they get
12213s	their Alliance logo emblazened on a
12216s	monument in the system of monarc you can
12217s	go there and check it out it's super
12218s	cool it has a a bunch of plinth with
12221s	each of the previous Alliance tournament
12223s	winners and uh the alliance Open winners
12225s	templ is calf um so you can go see that
12227s	it's pretty cool they also get a ton of
12229s	ships we'll probably get CCB zealous to
12231s	come and talk to us at some point
12232s	because uh the stats have been modified
12234s	slightly since they were last uh
12236s	announced so I believe they're slightly
12238s	better so hopefully we can take a look
12240s	at those in a little bit um but also um
12243s	another thing Bart the last team that I
12246s	can remember doing what we've said
12248s	before the perfect run so going all the
12250s	way through every match not losing a
12251s	single match including the best ofs was
12253s	in fact templers COV in the alliance
12255s	open now I think truth on to lie they
12257s	were they were on the run and I actually
12259s	kind of thought that it was looking good
12260s	for them this has now put them in a
12262s	position I don't think they have planned
12264s	to lose no one plans to lose how do you
12266s	think they're feeling right now I mean I
12268s	hope they're feeling fine like at the
12270s	end of the day you know you should
12271s	expect that it's a best of five like you
12274s	really shouldn't go into that being like
12275s	yeah we're about to three 0 these idiots
12277s	this is going to be easy but also
12279s	knowing a couple of the people on the
12280s	team they probably were thinking that
12282s	when you think about it they're probably
12284s	like ah well this is going to be a
12285s	really easy sweep you know easy at what
12288s	can you do it's fine but uh you know
12290s	we're uh yeah I don't know I think I
12292s	don't think it's going to adjust their
12293s	plan too much I think now more it's the
12295s	only thing that it does is it lets them
12297s	look at they're like well we don't have
12298s	to worry about the doy comp anymore
12300s	except that it's miror and they can kind
12303s	of just put chips in and I mean like
12305s	just thinking off the top of my head he
12306s	literally bring three regular Armageddon
12309s	and then those silly armor links and
12311s	it's like oh it's basically the same
12312s	thing but with even longer n range so
12314s	yeah I was actually kind of thinking
12315s	like maybe the dommies aren't actually
12317s	the Good Ship maybe well we've seen a
12319s	lot of Armageddon bans in this
12320s	tournament already including the
12321s	Armageddon Navy issue so that could be
12323s	something that truth onite decided
12324s	actually ban out because they maybe
12325s	recognize the same thing like hey this
12327s	comp so far it's 3 and0 yeah against
12329s	anything it faces and good teams too and
12331s	good teams including truth on the light
12334s	true so um maybe they think hm kind of a
12337s	threat so maybe they ban out the armag
12339s	again and it is a good ship anyway it's
12340s	got those those NES it's got the drones
12342s	it would fit in with another archetype
12344s	of this of this type so guess that's a
12346s	possibility now we talked about links a
12348s	bunch and we can look at a graph about
12350s	command destroyer and ship usage I'm
12352s	assum that means Command Ship usage in
12354s	Alliance tournament 20 so the pontif
12356s	effects and the Magus they are the
12357s	number ones uh we're seeing a lot of
12358s	teams bring quite sort of topheavy comps
12362s	this year lots of like triple Battleship
12363s	comps which usually fit a Pon effects
12364s	and omegas obviously um your EOS it was
12368s	by by far the favorite of the command
12371s	battle Cruisers God almost forgot what
12373s	they were called um but now it's been
12375s	overtaken by the AAR probably led by the
12377s	the the rise of the medium gun spam in
12379s	the last sort of day or so um what else
12381s	do you see in this blackb pirate I mean
12384s	we're seeing you know we've seen a lot
12385s	of magus's um I think we I think he kind
12386s	of went from ponix to that or I just
12388s	literally spaced out which is entirely
12390s	possible because it has been a long day
12392s	uh yeah know we're seeing a lot of sers
12394s	um I think the thing too to remember
12396s	when you're looking at this graph is
12397s	that this is the number of times these
12399s	ships are used so while it looks like oh
12401s	sers are really popular it's because of
12403s	the like six times people decided to
12404s	sner rushes makes it look like it's
12406s	super popular um realistically like you
12410s	know you're going to see a lot of ponix
12411s	magus because everybody's bringing we're
12413s	seeing so many of these uh teams go up
12415s	against each other uh it is a I I do
12417s	remember there was the one damnation run
12419s	M that uh that was kind of cool but yeah
12421s	other than that I mean it really does
12422s	seem that armor seems to maybe be the
12425s	meta this time especially when you
12426s	consider that sers and Nighthawks
12428s	usually come with other sers and
12430s	Nighthawks so yep and at least one
12432s	instance of the stalk and byr was an an
12434s	armor also true yeah so even then yeah
12436s	even more Armory all right we can look
12438s	at the bands for match two in this Grand
12440s	Final between truth on light and the
12442s	tuskers co so the tuskers have all those
12444s	Conquest bands from their previous match
12445s	don't forget about those they're also
12447s	Banning out the EOS the lisus the megas
12449s	and the pontif effect again it's a solid
12451s	ban without laus we've seen truth onite
12453s	use those ships to great effect to
12455s	screen down a rush comp before uh to the
12457s	point they just flew around in a circle
12459s	uh and the other team didn't get on them
12460s	at all it was kind of funny uh then
12463s	truth one like Banning out the hugan the
12464s	Rapier you said it last time Bart
12466s	classic tuskar bands the guardian the
12468s	augur so Missy these are the same bands
12470s	from last time from truth onite what do
12472s	you think about them I mean it makes
12474s	sense again I I think just to risk kind
12478s	of reinforcing the point repeatedly
12480s	hugan rapia makes sense against tuskers
12483s	especially when they've shown that they
12484s	are very comfortable running those
12485s	cutting comps um that are a bit more
12487s	off-the-wall and wacky I I think it's
12489s	interesting and it kind of reinforces
12490s	the point behind the conquest bands to
12492s	see the Magus and Pon effect ban from
12494s	the tuskers coming in they already can't
12496s	use it so they have nothing to lose by
12497s	Banning it out but it pushes um truth on
12500s	the light towards using battle Cruisers
12503s	or using the drer or using Shield setups
12505s	so um it's it's going to be interesting
12507s	to see whether tuskers are bringing
12508s	something that's very good against
12509s	medium guns spam again or whether
12511s	they're hoping for some form of like
12513s	Shield setup um from truth online well
12516s	uh we can head over to the arena cuz we
12518s	are ready to find out reminder this is
12519s	match two okay so if the tuskers win
12522s	this match as well they will then hold
12523s	the championship point one more win and
12526s	go home as the Champions uh truth on the
12528s	light they need to try and you know
12529s	start bring getting some of these
12530s	victories back they don't win unless
12532s	they win the matches it's super
12533s	important so can they do it now or will
12535s	the tuskers go to a 2-n lead here in
12537s	Alliance tournament 20 let's head over
12538s	to the arena and find
12541s	out ladies and gentlemen welcome back to
12544s	the arena for match two of the best of
12546s	five I'm starle Commander here with
12547s	moderator tuskers bringing a familiar
12549s	comp aren't they it looks like to be
12551s	Cruz Fons and what have truth on light
12553s	got so truth onor light has gone with a
12556s	kite of their own but they have gone
12557s	with heavy missiles in those battle
12559s	Cruisers and uh those lokis so something
12562s	we were discussing a little bit before
12564s	we you know through to this match is
12565s	that usually this kind of a composition
12567s	is going to favorite tusker simply for
12569s	the reason that um heavy missile ships
12572s	want to kite but you know what can also
12574s	hit the entire Arena and yes they have a
12576s	crucifier to mitigate that damage but
12578s	it's going to be really hard for a fleet
12580s	Cyclone um or a Navy Drake really to
12582s	hold up and I like the choice of a
12584s	Squall really as a primary you're just
12586s	going to be like hey this is probably
12587s	another heavy missile ship it was when
12589s	we looked at it you just get it Off the
12590s	Grid just get like you know the cheap
12593s	away but so far um truth th light is
12596s	actually rushing in and I think that's
12598s	probably the correct call the win
12601s	condition most likely is that they need
12603s	to kill the Deacon somehow because if
12605s	they lose critical damage right you
12606s	don't have a lot ever in some of these
12609s	uh you know heavy missile setups so you
12610s	need to maybe kill a battleship maybe
12612s	deal with the deacons and the STS I
12614s	think yeah get the lokis in and get some
12616s	get the webs on uh get the application
12618s	going obviously interesting as well
12619s	stalks two stalks for the tuskers for
12621s	the links obviously getting off to the
12624s	bands and and the conquest bands
12626s	affecting that the first school does go
12627s	down for T THL tuskers I think going for
12630s	the other school probably good think or
12632s	maybe switching to a fleet cyone and
12633s	just trying to get it down they do the
12635s	cruise FS do have a lot of damage and
12636s	the BR is going on critically something
12638s	other reason you would burn in right is
12640s	that there's something we call kind of
12641s	like the Cavalry Ravens from many years
12643s	ago right if you rush in with all the FY
12645s	missile ships the missiles kind of stack
12647s	on top of each other in flight so what's
12649s	happening is a lot of salvos are landing
12651s	on cth in the typhoon uh you know before
12655s	um you know they all kind of tick at the
12657s	same time but also the Deacon is getting
12659s	webbed down on BlackStar who is you know
12662s	talking trash in Russian earlier we see
12664s	that in the backline it looks like the
12667s	Deacon the ton of damage it looks like
12669s	the Loki of nith has gotten onto the
12671s	back line and if that Deacon goes down
12673s	which he does uh it looks like the other
12676s	Deon is going to be another primary and
12677s	so far blue melon is taking a ton of
12679s	damage but you know a deacon for a SciFi
12682s	that's not terrible for tuskers but you
12684s	need to make sure you get tackle on
12686s	other things and speaking of tackle
12687s	they've got hard tackle on the KE now I
12689s	mean the Blue Mill about to go down and
12691s	I think a good call to go for the K and
12693s	potentially get their Lodi FS down
12694s	they've just lost their first Deacon
12696s	obviously tuskers about to use their
12697s	second I think they need get they need
12699s	to get some Lodi down for THL still the
12701s	typhoons as well they're going they've
12703s	got a low HP the control bar is really
12705s	big for tuskers so even losing logi
12707s	frigs they still got a bit of time to
12708s	get some get get back get back in this
12710s	game so this is a visual Fleet issue of
12712s	Beacon who has gotten on the backline
12714s	and landing on top of a tin Baron right
12717s	the problem though is that these cruise
12719s	missiles unless you have paints which
12720s	you know the fleet vigil does actually
12721s	do well in webs don't apply but however
12724s	if you web them down really hard and you
12726s	get paints it turns out that drones and
12727s	even cruise missiles can apply the
12729s	Kieran so scalo was Ned down he's
12731s	completely got to be basically shut out
12733s	here um getting painted is going to take
12735s	a ton of d Dage and THL um doesn't have
12739s	much of an attack bar the control bar
12741s	from tuskers is just really putting a
12742s	lot of pressure on the scle and the
12744s	Cyclone the three Battleship trick from
12747s	tuskers coming through the second two
12749s	logi FRS down 4ot HL I mean now that
12752s	they're in a good composition I think
12754s	tuskers with three battleships um car is
12757s	going down into half armor but I think
12758s	they should probably get the fleet
12760s	Cyclone down um or maybe try and just go
12762s	for the lowkey looks like they going for
12764s	crucifier yeah so the crucifier now Mak
12766s	makes sense right he's applying tracking
12768s	guidance disruption rather to the fleet
12769s	typhoon of v and you know you want to be
12772s	able to apply full damage all the time
12774s	and that's part of the problem right is
12776s	that yeah you can affect the ability of
12778s	the flight time of the cruise missiles
12780s	but like one of the things that the STS
12783s	probably have if I have to imagine is
12785s	going to be remote sensor boosters and
12786s	remote guidance because the ponti and me
12788s	megas were actually banned storks not
12790s	really known for their um armor tank but
12792s	they're known for having a ton of mids
12794s	slots right they're very effective at
12796s	just being able to be like hey I'm going
12798s	to have paints I'm going to have remote
12799s	sensor boosters remote guidance and that
12801s	will allow these cruise missiles to
12803s	really apply well and so far they apply
12805s	through the squalls they apply through
12806s	that logi FR core cart does go down
12808s	though so two only two Fleet typhoons
12811s	left soll about go down as well for
12813s	truth light I still think there's still
12815s	a lot of ships that they need to get
12816s	through I mean THL is still kind of in
12819s	in the game I think but it's going to be
12821s	a kiting thing the lokis will definitely
12822s	lock down looks like to be VOD in the
12825s	fleet typhoon get the school and I think
12827s	they might have to start going for low
12828s	keys and start getting webs down so it
12830s	looks like the fleet vigil has counter
12832s	webbed um one of the Lok keys but then
12834s	nith webs back the fleet vigil Fleet
12836s	vigil does do okay webs but the lokis
12838s	you know of course have much further
12840s	range on them and here's the problem
12842s	with THL yes you want to kite but
12845s	anywhere you try to kite these Fleet
12847s	typhoons can hit the entire at this
12849s	point right and the Navy Drake is
12850s	getting absolutely chunked through he's
12853s	Tak n pressure yeah he might not even be
12855s	able to really run hardeners too much
12856s	and I mean look how quickly he's going
12858s	through Shield the bar on THL dropping
12861s	faster and receding quicker than my
12864s	hairline control freak in the N about to
12867s	go down the cruise missiles the volum on
12869s	these things really does take a chunk
12871s	especially at Battle Cruisers I think
12873s	the fleet Cyclone next of um chinate
12875s	Tech the character called chinate Tech I
12877s	think it be next I think they're leaving
12878s	lokis for last because of the Cruisers I
12880s	think I me that makes sense yeah just
12881s	just to get the most damage down I mean
12883s	tuska is doing a fantastic job in this
12886s	what happened earlier on today losing 20
12889s	to THL and now going to be two up on THL
12892s	yeah I mean this is kind of the Revenge
12893s	our basically uh yeah all the anime
12896s	teams are kind of done but this is kind
12898s	of the uh the the ril has basically
12901s	burned off onto a beacon right along
12904s	with the uh the crew and the other other
12906s	vigil right so these paint chips have
12909s	done God's work to live as long as they
12911s	have right and these you know tiny
12913s	little ships six points each are hard
12916s	carrying the match being able to make
12918s	these missiles from the fleet typhoons
12920s	apply perfectly uh to these Fleet
12922s	Cyclones these lokis this Drake and this
12926s	typhoon of miraie does go down but
12928s	critically even if he does tuskers is in
12930s	a commanding point lead right now where
12933s	even if it's just V and a couple STS
12935s	they're going to outpoint the low keis
12936s	if it goes to time I think that they're
12938s	going to kill look at the lowkey taking
12939s	the damage it's so much damage from the
12941s	cruise missiles and you right Beacon
12943s	Mala in the in the fleet um video
12946s	fantastic job it's such a difficult job
12948s	in this match as well to navigate the
12950s	THL team um we've got some talking local
12953s	Now read like a book again from vld uh
12956s	we love a bit of this talking Lo a bit
12958s	of fun brainstore in the Loki about to
12960s	go down and now we're going to have what
12962s	could be the next match could be yeah
12964s	and then brain straw has been basically
12966s	getting sat on by these two Fleet
12968s	typhoons so Mira Chief will go down but
12971s	critically these lokis unlike the fleet
12974s	C clones don't have the fitting uh
12978s	necessarily to fit like an ancel sh
12980s	booster right and that's one of the
12981s	problems that you do kind of run into we
12983s	can see that the fleet typhoon there's a
12985s	bit of a pink bar and what that means
12986s	for our viewers at home is active reps
12988s	right so miraie will be running an
12990s	ancillary armor repper but I mean brain
12992s	straw didn't doesn't have any sort of
12994s	local tank I know yeah Loki the last
12997s	Loki of nth uh about to go down mirus
13000s	looks like he's going to be holding on
13002s	the captain of tuskers holding on in low
13004s	structure um I'm excited to see we're
13006s	going to have so many Conquest bands now
13008s	going forwards yeah I mean the Mira here
13010s	is got is now pulling back clawing back
13015s	and he was down into 133% structure
13017s	before
13019s	um and I mean we see them nith is
13021s	beating up maybe getting you injective
13024s	capacitor but I mean when brain star D
13026s	died he was at you know 200 me a second
13028s	he was completely cap dry that means the
13030s	shield hardeners were completely turned
13032s	off and I mean that's another you know
13035s	issue is that we see these vigils and
13037s	these crew are doing the exact right
13038s	thing they're sitting on a beacon So
13039s	eventually when nth tries to get close
13041s	they just jump away and say you know I'm
13045s	going to leave and I'm going to live I
13047s	mean looks like nth taking a chunk down
13049s	into structure and I think we're going
13051s	to potentially have a final in our hand
13054s	maybe we're going to go back to the desk
13056s	they're going to break it down and we
13057s	might have the finals of Lance 220
13067s	okay
13078s	[Music]
13100s	ladies and gentlemen we have a game for
13103s	sure we are gaming here at Alliance
13105s	tournament 20 the tuskers co now up 2-0
13108s	over truth on the light in this best of
13110s	five grand final all the liance
13112s	tournament
13114s	20 this is like this is great like I'm
13118s	excited so either the tuskers goes three
13121s	now they have Championship point in hand
13123s	there in hand where where's my where's
13126s	the trophy Excuse Me CB lagy bro if you
13128s	don't mind me popping you there they are
13130s	but one game away careful it's heavy it
13132s	is heavy oh sorry it's extremely heavy
13134s	one
13135s	game away from this solid
13139s	gold
13141s	trophy it's exciting stuff honestly to
13144s	be within touching distance of it it's
13147s	it's so much so much so you touch it
13150s	last year now this happened last year
13153s	mystical M it did it did happen last
13155s	year
13157s	ready for the funniest thing to Happ
13159s	anxious on their behalf at this point um
13162s	okay so black p that match what happened
13164s	there we saw the tuskers Apparently just
13166s	solved the meta and it's armor Shield
13169s	command destroyers with Cruz missiles
13172s	and triple domies
13175s	yeah that's that's the meta what what do
13177s	you we know that obviously it's the meta
13180s	like have you have you seen it lose yet
13181s	no no no exactly it's never lost no um
13184s	so tusker's uh discovered a secret to EV
13187s	on line that has only been known to many
13189s	many thousands of people which is the
13190s	target painters are good modules and
13193s	when your ship is larger big Missile hit
13196s	harder that is factually correct yeah
13198s	and uh they basically you know again
13201s	they played it the exact same way that
13202s	they did versus platinum sensitivity
13204s	doing the exact same setup uh obviously
13206s	you know truth on or light bro something
13208s	it's different than Platinum sensitivity
13209s	but like we saw the application work
13211s	fine you can't outrange the cruise
13213s	missiles um obviously that uh was a
13215s	crucifier did a pretty good job inating
13217s	damage for a while but if you target
13219s	paint the ship enough and you stack as
13221s	many application things in the mid slots
13223s	as you possibly can which I'm sure those
13224s	typhoons and typhoon Fleet issues are
13226s	just filled with missile guid uh
13228s	enhancers missile gu computers that one
13231s	so probably probably not in the low
13232s	slots um you can actually make your big
13234s	missiles hit things that are much
13235s	smaller than it and we saw Kieran just
13238s	get we saw
13239s	an just like oh that's okay uh visual
13243s	Fleet issue actually is really cool yeah
13245s	it surviv twice now it has survived
13246s	twice key Lynch pen ship in that like
13248s	those those bonus paints they didn't
13250s	have the hyena this time I think I
13251s	genuinely think that they looked at the
13253s	fact that hyena got voled last time and
13255s	they still won and they still killed the
13256s	deacons they went hey we don't actually
13258s	need the hyena we can actually go
13259s	without it yeah yeah no it's a tons of
13261s	application making big missiles hit
13263s	things that they're not really supposed
13264s	to hit uh it worked great um it was a it
13268s	was pretty close actually I so I did
13269s	have this moment where I'm kind of
13270s	looking at it like I feel like truth
13272s	honor light should have been doing more
13273s	damage than what they were and so again
13276s	I would love to see the fits of the
13278s	typhoon that they killed however unless
13281s	it has mysteriously populated on Zill I
13283s	believe neither of these teams have
13285s	their uh their uh zills uploading right
13287s	now which is smart because it means they
13289s	can't get Intel on each other but ALS
13291s	can look at each other's kills cuz they
13293s	get the kill meals themselves yeah but
13295s	we can't get it we can't get them so
13296s	really all they're doing is depriving
13298s	you the audience de audience you're
13300s	being deprived by these teams
13302s	of you know what you know you guys
13305s	should start rling about this like what
13306s	what is wrong with these teams why do
13308s	they not want you guys to know what is
13310s	going ring in chat I I want twitch chat
13312s	riots RI twit do it all right so one of
13315s	the things that these uh teams are
13317s	competing for is some of the incredible
13319s	New Alliance tournament prize ships not
13321s	only is there a frot not only is there a
13324s	cruiser but there is a battleship as
13325s	well um and this is the first time in 20
13328s	years we've been giving away a
13330s	battleship as a prize now some of the
13332s	stats have been out the pictures are out
13333s	the videos out they look awesome but
13335s	they have been slightly modified so I
13338s	believe if I clap my hands I can summon
13340s	CCP
13342s	zealous here
13344s	is hello come join us C I'm going to
13347s	hand this off to
13350s	him St it thank all right keep writing
13355s	in chat please thank you well well well
13356s	the ri I'm not trying to incite a right
13358s	I have incited a write um please tell us
13361s	cous about the new ships good job in
13363s	inciting the riot do they really need
13365s	the help
13366s	yes oh yes yes they do uh yeah so we've
13370s	uh we've been listening to a bit of
13371s	feedback with regards to the the side
13373s	Winder the Cobra and the uh python uh
13376s	I'll do a we we've got some of the the
13380s	the stats were actually posted
13381s	originally when the prize blog went out
13383s	uh I think we've got some stats that we
13384s	can show here starting off with a
13386s	Sidewinder um so these were the stats
13388s	just from uh grabbed from the blog uh so
13390s	these were the original
13392s	stats there was a little bit of feedback
13394s	with regards to the cloaking abilities
13397s	uh so some of the previous Alliance
13398s	tournament ships had the ability to
13400s	instantly Target once you decloaked this
13402s	ship was originally missing it we
13405s	listened to your feedback and we decided
13407s	you know what this is like a really
13408s	great idea so yep the ship now has will
13411s	be having the ability to uh Target
13413s	immediately after decloaking uh not only
13416s	that one of the other things we heard
13417s	was the uh locking bo uh the Locking
13419s	distance was also relatively short it
13421s	was about 40 km but you know what it
13423s	needs a little bit of a boost compared
13425s	to some of the old Alliance tournament
13426s	ships so we're going to make increase a
13428s	little bit up to 55 km 55 km excuse me
13432s	I'm Al I'm also emotional it's such a
13434s	day just it just hits me so hard I mean
13437s	I consider twitch chat and these team uh
13440s	my children um and seeing them seeing
13442s	them do so well and participating it
13444s	just makes me like a feel like a PR PR
13446s	father right now so anyway please
13447s	continue tell us about the ships uh the
13449s	other thing we changed uh recently was
13451s	the python I think we again we have the
13453s	the setat screen for for this one uh
13455s	unfortunately though it started off with
13458s	a obscene uh rate of fire on it uh turns
13462s	out it was in fact a little too high uh
13464s	and we you know as a bit of yingyang we
13467s	decided that we had to drop the uh the
13470s	rate of fire just a little bit it went
13471s	from 15% and now we've dropped it back
13473s	to 12 1 12% per level so it still fires
13477s	super fast just not quite as fast as it
13479s	did before okay awesome Yep and did uh
13483s	did the M scientists get in about the
13485s	the cruiser or the cruiser as before the
13487s	cruiser remains as before uh the Cobra
13490s	is perfectly balanced in every way
13493s	awesome these ships look so cool I
13495s	really love the design uh I love the
13497s	fact that we really lent into the uh the
13499s	lore of the tournament where it was
13501s	initially sponsored by Concord uh
13503s	Concord gave us these amazing ships and
13506s	then the gas came in went [ __ ] you
13508s	Concord [ __ ] the police let's go yanked
13510s	them put their own boranes in got a
13512s	couple of rattle cans out went around
13514s	and and covered all of they look pretty
13516s	cool I like them I couldn't see the
13518s	stats at all because they were on a
13520s	screen made for ants down there talking
13521s	about them so I'm just going to use
13523s	twitch chat to gauge oh they just say
13526s	Misty looks great I me that's true thank
13528s	you very much yes so I'm assuming
13529s	they're they look great I love them
13531s	anyway um I think we have about 10
13533s	minutes until our next match which again
13534s	to remind you guys tuskers could win it
13537s	right here like we could be over in 20
13539s	minutes or so that could be it um but
13543s	we're not there yet so I think I'm I I
13545s	don't know if Blackbird pirate also
13547s	works on Clapper um but I can certainly
13549s	try blackb pirate summoning blackb
13552s	pirate does anyone know where a
13554s	blackbird pirate is oh he hey is I pass
13559s	back to you fine sir how many people are
13561s	back there okay there's a lot of
13564s	room there's so much room for activities
13566s	behind I know right who would have
13568s	thought it behind this how much
13569s	wonderful stuff is back there did you
13572s	see all the other things behind the door
13574s	oh I did incred yeah I saw the road map
13576s	there's another person behind me there
13579s	guy oh no we can't talk about it though
13582s	uh Sor you have to it's it's two claps
13584s	two claps too many claps doesn't work
13586s	yeah it was weird I tried and it was it
13588s	was like it's one clap or three claps
13591s	this is the rule yeah there's a there's
13592s	a joke here not saying
13595s	it PG sh yes I'm staying away is that uh
13598s	so we have about 10 more minutes so
13600s	black part yes I'm going to come to you
13602s	now so where are truth on a light now in
13604s	this they are now two nil down they have
13606s	their Flagship do you think that they're
13608s	going to go all in this is a this is a
13610s	must-win but how must-win is it are they
13612s	going to bring their best absolute
13614s	number one comp or are they going to try
13616s	and still play a bit you know bit smart
13619s	and maybe expect a maybe a flagship
13620s	headshot comp from the tusers and bring
13622s	something a little bit in the middle
13623s	what do you think I could just we could
13624s	get on Discord and ask them right now
13626s	like yeah what are you guys doing
13627s	probably wouldn't tell us the real
13628s	answer though um I don't know cuz
13631s	like I don't think you bring your you
13633s	don't bring the flag Widow bar valorn
13636s	like you just you don't and the reason
13638s	why is because they it's lost already
13640s	what almost it almost lost it almost
13642s	lost already yeah I kind that's a loss
13643s	in this yeah I I think in this case like
13646s	I don't think you do that I think that's
13648s	too easy to like counter um so I think
13651s	we we either see them bring a belor with
13653s	something completely different I think
13654s	the main games are happening with both
13656s	teams right now there is a there there
13658s	twin spirals so out there in the world
13661s	just doing this yeah and it's like where
13663s	did they stop
13665s	yeah I I I think they might bring the
13667s	the flag Bell so what I was saying is
13670s	flag Bell and Widow they might I don't
13672s	think so cuz we we've already seen uh
13674s	tuskers feeli the Widow headshot team it
13676s	depends entirely on what the bands are
13677s	if crucifier curse Pilgrim and Co are
13680s	banned out yeah you know what's really
13682s	compion about that I found out while I
13684s	was in the cave of Adventure bands don't
13686s	look at them yet keep tell us about the
13688s	cave tell us the cave of Adventure yeah
13690s	well so I went back there I actually saw
13693s	this um like multi story high just giant
13698s	just book open and I turned the page
13700s	which was really hard it was very heavy
13701s	and I saw the script for the end of the
13703s	tournament oh no no spoilers yeah so I'm
13705s	trying my best not to spoil anything and
13707s	it's it's really hard Cu uh no yeah it's
13710s	it's rough all right Band
13712s	Please
13714s	excellent the tuskers co choosing to ban
13717s	out and again to remember they have two
13720s	rounds of Conquest bands in effect now
13722s	there's a lot of ships as well I'm not
13723s	sure if we have a Graphic about that I
13724s	think there was talk about it but we'll
13725s	find out uh the tuskers co Banning out
13727s	the EOS the curse the pontea and the
13729s	megas and I mean look at this truth on
13731s	light hugan Rapier again this time the
13733s	hyena and the crucifier mystical might
13736s	what do you think about these bands see
13738s	now here's what I was talking about
13740s	right it depends entirely on whether
13741s	these lower end tracking disrupting
13743s	ships are available because that's what
13745s	would make the Balor Widow comp work
13747s	when you've got two tses two oracles on
13749s	the tusker side if you're able to put
13751s	your tracking disruptors on them it does
13753s	limit their range from probably like
13754s	about 1 25 down to probably about 50ish
13758s	which is a comfortable webbing range for
13760s	your Balor right if you got the the
13762s	Tobias webs the big boys so um the
13765s	crucify is gone but the Sentinel is
13767s	still open it still gives them the
13769s	opportunity to bring some lower end
13770s	track and disruptors you still got the
13772s	arbitrators if you really want to but
13775s	it's just a case of um would truth on
13777s	the light feel comfortable bringing the
13780s	um Balor and the Widow without a ponx
13783s	and Magus as their two link sh we've
13785s	seen that tuskers is very comfortable
13787s	running double stalk as in the previous
13789s	match even though they're armor fit they
13790s	don't necessarily get bonuses to armor
13792s	links but it's still something that
13793s	they've brought because it allows them
13795s	to still use the comps that depend on
13797s	command destroyers right now they can't
13799s	use stalks they can't use the magas they
13801s	can't use the bond effects the only
13802s	commandest they have is the dger or the
13805s	bifrost the bifrost also historically
13808s	not an armor ship unless you're in
13809s	tuskers so there's still the potential
13812s	to see the the bifrost coming out from
13813s	tuskers in the next match but truth on
13815s	like have all of those ships available
13817s	it's just a matter of whether they would
13818s	feel comfortable going armor stalk along
13821s	with Flagship Balor which is going to
13823s	cost a lot of money Y and then a bunch
13824s	of Lottery folks I think it's a very
13826s	good point actually um I think these
13827s	bands from the tuskers are actually very
13829s	smart bands because they know this
13831s	Flagship balgar is available and they
13833s	know that the sheer power of those long
13835s	range webs plus the NES plus officer
13838s	just everything basically are just it's
13840s	going to be so powerful in a match it's
13842s	going to be like 200 points versus 200
13844s	and a flag balgar it's just a humongous
13846s	difference um by Banning out those two
13848s	ships there it really does like you
13850s	pointed out limit the options for truth
13852s	on the light now Bart you know you know
13855s	the guys from TR light quite well so are
13856s	they the type of team to do what we
13858s	you'll call the tuskers and just sort of
13860s	force something in anyway with armor
13862s	stars or do they have something that
13863s	they would prefer to Pivot to like they
13865s	don't feel like a team that needs to
13867s	bring a flagship to me like I feel that
13869s	they are confident enough in their
13870s	abilities and the three crafting to take
13872s	another comp and not feel like they're
13874s	going to be forced into a flagship right
13876s	now yeah I I think that they I've never
13879s	really felt that they've like played
13880s	around flagships really except for the
13883s	like the one year where they were doing
13884s	the um the ECM with the flag Bargas I've
13887s	never really thought that their best
13888s	games are with flagships so if if it's a
13890s	team that you know I don't think any of
13892s	their strategy had to deal with having
13894s	the flagship the thing though and this
13896s	is something I know about that I'm
13897s	probably going to get added about it on
13899s	the discords later is that they are a
13901s	team that will tilt out of control
13903s	sometimes and that makes me think they
13905s	might not bring the flagship on the
13908s	principle of wanting to not lose it
13912s	because that is something that they that
13913s	the logic of them could make sense where
13915s	they're like okay maybe we have a comp
13918s	we're pretty sure we can win but we
13919s	don't want to lose our Flagship we don't
13920s	want to give tuskers the flagship win so
13921s	that if we get three OED we can at least
13923s	cope and say well we killed your
13925s	Flagship and that is something that uh
13926s	would be very inch character for some of
13929s	them I feel like though because because
13932s	because they got the um uh the tuskers
13935s	Flagship kill and 90% Loot drop event
13937s	going on in the minute and Eve online
13938s	they almost certainly scooped um all of
13941s	the modules from the tuskers and that
13943s	was also basically best in slot like
13945s	multiple expensive webs etc etc I feel
13948s	like you basically have like a flagship
13950s	in Waiting even if you do lose your
13952s	other one because of the fact you killed
13953s	the tuskers already this is how I know
13955s	you don't have the mind of an elite
13957s	pvper it's not about it's not about
13961s	already reped part it's about sending a
13963s	message which is that we didn't need
13965s	need it and you didn't get it killed
13967s	from us and our ZL points look better
13969s	and our kill ratios look better and it's
13971s	also like some of these Gamers have
13973s	flown with them you know it doesn't
13975s	matter if you're not having fun as long
13977s	as the other person has less fun right
13978s	so you know it doesn't matter if you
13981s	don't bring your Flagship and you lose
13982s	as long as tuskers don't have their
13984s	Flagship modules yeah at the end of it
13986s	right CU that means next year if there
13987s	is a next year they have to go out and
13989s	buy these modules again okay now I do
13992s	have the um the conquest band here and I
13995s	we'll read them to you till we can
13996s	refresh our memories I would like the
13997s	camera to be focused on their face for
13999s	their reaction so I don't just look like
14000s	a weirdo reading from a computer all
14002s	right so H ashimmu crew Deacon Dominics
14006s	Inquisitor megas pontifax star typhoon
14010s	typhoon Fleet isue vexer vexer Navy
14012s	issue vigil Fleet issue and vigil also
14014s	banned for the match is eos curse
14016s	ponteix Magus hugan Rapier hyena
14018s	crucifier that is 2 4 6 8 eight bands
14022s	from the regular one and then 1 2 3 4 5
14024s	6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Conquest bands
14029s	so uh that's a lot of ships that you
14031s	cannot
14033s	bring yeah my my there was too many too
14037s	many ships listed and my brain started
14039s	going uh around the time you got to the
14042s	actual band put yourself into the mind
14044s	of the tuskers right now they have to do
14046s	that and also pick a comp but yeah the
14049s	thing is I think tuskers has the just
14052s	the pool to bring whatever kind of ships
14054s	they want and squeeze them into any comp
14056s	that they want and feel fairly
14057s	comfortable running it you know like the
14059s	the guardian's not banned now CFI aren't
14061s	banned right so they could bring the CFI
14063s	Guardian kiding setup if they wanted to
14065s	for example um they have lost I believe
14067s	the vigil the fleet vigil and the crew
14069s	but they still have the hyena available
14071s	well they don't but baned
14074s	so Loki's not banned I
14077s	guess yeah yeah good luck mirror good
14080s	luck vld I mean I you know what I will
14083s	say the uh the series of events that has
14086s	led us to this point makes this like
14088s	weird sick twisted logical sense because
14091s	what does a droger give info and armor
14094s	links no no it gives some it does no
14099s	it's not that is it that one it's
14101s	probably info arm I feel like we
14102s	probably be the right oh oh oh no we
14105s	look ourselves now oh no see imagine
14108s	imagine see how confused we're getting
14110s	imagine you just come out of a match you
14112s	still got the know this somebody tell me
14114s	what it is twitch skirm info skirm info
14117s	that's not what I thought at all okay
14118s	this guy says info skirm info skirm oh
14121s	okay yeah yeah so I was right about once
14122s	so I was going to say they still have
14123s	bonus info links that's my point was
14125s	that they still have bonus info links
14126s	from mogger they still have bonus
14127s	Skirmish links which will fit very well
14129s	into the kiing land I think that we're
14132s	about to see a very interesting ewar
14133s	comp like I maybe like a heavy missile
14135s	ewar setup from uh tuskers uh no IA with
14138s	Tru th light's going to bring I hope
14139s	they bring their Flagship if they don't
14140s	they're cowards and uh yeah real I just
14144s	so I'm not going to spoil I just saw
14146s	something coming in did you see a
14147s	spaceship landing on I saw spaceship
14149s	Landing uh I'm excited um this I think
14151s	is going to be a spicy one there is no
14153s	Flagship being fielded confirmed no flag
14157s	um but I would
14159s	like to remind you ladies and gentlemen
14161s	this is the grand finals of Alliance
14164s	tournament 20 okay the tuskers have a 2
14167s	nil lead it is a best of five all right
14171s	if the tuskers win this match they are
14173s	champions after dropping in the finals
14176s	last year they they might come back they
14178s	might do it right now they might win
14180s	truth on a light this is their match now
14182s	to stay in the tournament they don't win
14185s	this it's game over they are done they
14187s	are second
14188s	place stupid didn't they I made the
14191s	prediction if if tuskers lose this one
14193s	they lose the series if they win this
14196s	one then they win the series and that's
14197s	that's a stun anal that is also yeah
14200s	that's mathematically how it goes I
14201s	don't know I don't want to know what
14202s	they brought well ladies and gentlemen
14204s	I'll hand you over to the arena where
14206s	you will see see the mighty Dominic's
14208s	Navy issue let's go the last match
14213s	okay
14216s	the hello welcome to round three of the
14220s	grand finals of the alliance tournament
14222s	Mera Mira on the wall who has got the
14224s	wrinkliest brain of them all so we're
14227s	back to Mr Potato Head but with a little
14229s	bit of a mustach drawn drawn on his face
14232s	because we have Navy Dominic is an
14235s	so we talked about this earlier bifrost
14237s	is the only Shield command ship that's
14239s	even remaining for tuskers and Truth
14241s	honor light they're bringing a bit of a
14243s	more normal cop th just going for the
14245s	medium rail gun span which we going to
14246s	see the fight starting a second here and
14248s	a lot of damage Landing quite quickly oh
14249s	I love this Shield sin and navy Dominic
14252s	from tuskers and obviously the Navy
14253s	domies do get a shield extended boost to
14256s	hit points in the bonuses of the ship
14258s	damage be landing hard and fast by force
14260s	the first Target for THL get that get
14262s	those links off quickly I think that's a
14263s	fantastic cool but here is being kept up
14265s	by the two kierans and obviously the
14266s	bifrost sorry the a now taking a look
14269s	Lucas Quan the primary for tuskers
14271s	obviously we saw the stalks in the last
14272s	match and that was obviously to avoid
14274s	the the conquest bands if they won so
14275s	they brought the B Force this time
14276s	around orur taking a lot of damage going
14278s	into low about around half armor sin now
14281s	the target for THL opting just to go for
14283s	the battleships yeah so ironically I
14285s	actually did exactly what tuskers did
14287s	against pandemic Legion one year and it
14289s	didn't exactly work out for me so I mean
14291s	the Met has changed a little bit um
14293s	battleships have been changed especially
14295s	the Navy ones but man the augurer he
14297s	he's so so far away he's 100 km away
14300s	from anything and just getting chunked
14302s	by those centuries but that sin Shield
14304s	sins are not known for their HP Lucas
14308s	get trying to get away survive as long
14310s	as possible going potentially into
14312s	structure here the S of C bouncing back
14314s	now from The Shield's bait tanked or
14316s	what structure and Lucas cor for the or
14318s	he goes down this is huge lorra does go
14320s	down I think for T massive win for
14322s	tuskers and now the Kieran does go down
14324s	as well
14325s	Quan boundary violated 125 and he got
14328s	blown up meanwhile Blackstar in the
14330s	Kieran has died so that's one logi you
14333s	know for one ly here I mean once a curan
14335s	of jger goes down which will happen
14336s	quickly that will be you know all of the
14339s	remote repair on tuskers down I mean the
14342s	attack bar for tuskers is literally just
14345s	the drones right now THL continuing to
14347s	try to punch through this in and the
14348s	omen of rones AKA Jordan one of the team
14352s	captains going down here look at those
14355s	heavy nudes being applied to everything
14356s	from those tuskers potatoes yeah they
14358s	looks like they didn't have any guns the
14359s	sin does go down for cart THL not out
14361s	the running yet they still have plenty
14362s	of damage you can see there potential
14364s	attack bar on the screen in front of
14365s	you's massive going to go for the Kier
14366s	and get those reps off off the grid
14368s	right now Omen about to go down as well
14370s	for the th side I think tuskers need to
14372s	go for the some of the bigger ships here
14373s	or maybe get rid of the Omens more Omens
14376s	yeah I mean now the Kieran is down I
14377s	wouldn't be surprised if we see the Navy
14379s	Dominic is being targeted meanwhile the
14381s	um merer or sorry rather The Omen of
14384s	Jordan finally does go down but I mean
14386s	the Navy Dominics is already Shield yeah
14389s	I mean sorry the shield that you
14391s	know go down so interestingly the Navy
14394s	Dominic does actually have a rep bonus
14396s	but it's not to Shield it's actually to
14399s	armor and these again are shield Navy
14401s	damy so one of the issues with being
14403s	Shield tanked is that you can't really
14405s	get the same amount of you know drone
14408s	tracking and control because you need
14409s	those for shield extenders you need it
14411s	for an asp you need it for tap you know
14413s	mods and things like going to go down
14415s	Navy Dominic looking really good for THL
14418s	avoiding from the the the jaws of the of
14420s	the Abyss coming back THL come back to
14423s	maybe do a reverse sweep yeah exactly I
14425s	mean remember this time last year to the
14428s	day tuskers was up 2 N against
14430s	fraternity and then fraternity clawed it
14433s	back tuskers however they had 22 ships
14436s	in this match they couldn't bring my
14438s	head in this camera right now is cutting
14440s	off all the [ __ ] bands because that is
14442s	how little tusers can play with right
14444s	now and this is kind of one of the
14446s	things that we uh do to try to make it
14447s	very hard to just have a 3-nil wipe
14449s	right tsers is basically almost out of
14452s	like good ships that they can bring
14454s	because so much has been banned for them
14456s	and THL continuing to ban out the um you
14459s	know the hugan and the Rapier really
14461s	getting at sort of like any Shield kite
14463s	and tusker's continuing to ban out you
14465s	know the um Pond effects trying to
14468s	really you know prevent THL from having
14470s	to bring their Apex you know Flagship
14472s	comp but THL just saying hey I can bring
14474s	a very normal gun Rush yeah tuskers is
14478s	just you know jumping out and they're
14480s	saying hey you know I'm done with your
14482s	gapping we want to have our mental reset
14484s	so we can try to you know get back in
14486s	our [ __ ] ships rather and plan for the
14488s	uh the next uh match um and with that
14491s	we're going to go back to the go for a
14492s	break and then we get the desk to break
14494s	that down
14507s	truth honor light pulling it back
14509s	21 uh against the tusker Co in this best
14512s	of five grand final we still have more
14514s	matches to come I believe the phrase is
14516s	ladies and gentlemen we have a series on
14517s	our hands uh I mean someone take that
14521s	man out of the kitchen I don't know what
14523s	he's cooking in there but that was
14524s	Shield Navy Dominic's Shield sin mytical
14527s	might what look it's not often we're
14532s	right on the desk but we did say
14535s	we did actually say B Dominic's were
14537s	still in and also I would like everyone
14540s	here to know that a random chatter in
14543s	twitch chat said bring sins yeah way
14545s	back so you're wrong and also you're
14548s	wrong Nero okay don't do that again come
14551s	on no more sins or I mean when they got
14554s	that augone pretty quick off the bat I
14556s	was like maybe is this is this how we
14559s	end Alliance tournament 20 with the the
14561s	thunderous Applause of sh Shield Navy
14564s	and it was not to be cuz immediately we
14566s	just saw the sing
14568s	go and then they swapped to a Kiran for
14570s	a bit
14571s	and choice it was at the time but it
14573s	didn't feel like it didn't feel like the
14575s	right choice but it was I kind of feel
14577s	like that was maybe one of those things
14578s	where they were trying to we talked
14580s	about a little bit before they were
14581s	trying to bait uh TR light into bringing
14583s	their best comp so it would get banned
14585s	out by winning with it yeah you know
14587s	what that would have been really really
14588s	good against a BAL Gorn Widow they would
14592s	they would have destroyed them it's like
14593s	ah my Widow is dying and there's nothing
14596s	I can do about it well I guess that's it
14598s	but hey you know what they may have been
14600s	cowards cuz they didn't bring the Bal
14601s	Gorn but they're also still in the
14603s	tournament so I guess you what do we
14604s	know yeah true enough to predict Navy
14607s	Dominic that's what we know good job
14609s	guys
14611s	H I still can't believe we saw Shield
14613s	Navy doin is in Alliance Tournament 2
14615s	Grand Final you didn't see him for long
14616s	no it was a very quick match it was one
14619s	of the faster matches I think we've had
14620s	in the last weekend yeah wasle there was
14623s	a couple of boundaries in match as well
14625s	oh I had a very very happy CCP Swift
14629s	kind of like come in behind and go you
14631s	can take the man out of PL but you can't
14633s	take PL out of a man when Lucas Quan
14636s	boundaried in the orra but to be fair
14638s	Lucas was also going to die anyway so y
14641s	but it's funny it's funny it's funny for
14643s	stat it's funny at least it's only 125
14645s	km that's kind of kind brought the dice
14647s	and lost yeah I mean sometimes you see
14650s	this um uh welcome to L stre if you've
14652s	never watched before by the way uh you J
14654s	at a great time uh but the arena is a
14657s	bubble it's 125 km from the center in
14659s	all directions um and if you put one
14663s	little toll over that Barry even by a
14666s	meter uh you just get blown up
14668s	immediately you do not survive that's it
14670s	game over um and we see sometimes teams
14673s	playing where they try and skirt close
14675s	to the boundary either they're kiting
14676s	away from something or they're chasing
14677s	someone down and they turn at just the
14679s	last minute and like go up to like 124.5
14682s	and they come back in other times you
14683s	see just like drift out a little bit
14685s	over and then instant death there's no
14686s	surviving it's no damage over time it's
14688s	no like Zar acent it's just bang you are
14690s	dead yeah um and we've seen a couple of
14692s	matches uh a couple of incredible
14694s	matches in the last history be decided
14696s	by an errant boundary violation uh so
14699s	it's an everpresent danger now if Lucas
14701s	there he's trying to get away from all
14702s	those sentries it it's the right move
14704s	just try and SCP close to the boundar as
14705s	far away as you possibly can be uh as
14708s	you say he was going to go down anyway
14709s	all it did was probably prolong a couple
14710s	of seconds perhaps but I mean I mean I I
14713s	was arguing that Lucas probably should
14715s	have burned in um I heard that sentries
14717s	were dropped and I was like oh okay so
14718s	the logical thing for the orur will be
14720s	to burn towards the Sentry blob at an
14722s	angle and then just orbit as close to
14724s	the sentries as possible and hope to
14725s	prolong your death by having some of the
14727s	sentries Miss every now and then of
14729s	course that runs into the issue of you
14730s	will get new to doing so yeah but I feel
14733s	like it's still more likely to keep you
14735s	alive a little bit longer than burning
14737s	away at a distance because you are going
14739s	to be hit fairly consistently by the
14741s	sentries at the range that he was at so
14744s	it's it's a tough position to be in um
14746s	I've done a bit of logy piloting work
14747s	with Lucas before this was more in like
14749s	the AO um and I found that as a logy
14752s	pilot you typically die really really
14754s	early on in the match for some reason
14756s	teams seem to really dislike you I can't
14759s	quite put my finger on it um but part of
14762s	the exercises that we were doing was
14764s	figuring out the best ways to prolong
14766s	the death right you want you want a nice
14768s	long drawn out death of a logistic ship
14770s	if you die immediately then it's very
14772s	very sad times for your team but if you
14774s	can make sure that you die over a course
14775s	of 65 80 Seconds that's a lot of time
14778s	for your team to start putting damage
14780s	inter ships like we saw with the sin um
14782s	before they swap to the Kieran it allows
14784s	you to start effectively trading and it
14785s	puts you in a really good position to
14787s	carry on um with successful beneficial
14790s	trades early later on into the match
14792s	rather mhm so um we can also take a look
14795s	at an infographic video kind of
14796s	explaining the actual Arena itself and
14798s	some of the other things that happen in
14799s	an alliance tournament match so let's
14801s	see if we can hit play on that one now
14802s	and I'll talk you through it so here's
14804s	the tournament Arena so the teams are
14805s	teleported into one of these four
14806s	beacons they get to pick the referee
14808s	comos them and says A B C or D you get
14810s	teleported into the system you're way
14812s	off descan from the arena and from each
14814s	other you then have to warp to the arena
14815s	of a range of your choice between 0 and
14817s	50 km if you warp in outside of those
14820s	ranges you will be moved to zero uh
14822s	because you have to be within 50 of the
14824s	center Beacon inside the arena there is
14826s	eight micro jump drive units in a square
14828s	and a ninth one in the center itself
14830s	each of those when activated can ping
14831s	you forward 100 km and of course there's
14834s	the A4 mentioned kill boundary at 125 km
14838s	all the way
14840s	around another round of standing
14842s	analysis from a lead analyst here you
14845s	know is he the lead analyst lead analyst
14848s	yep yeah I'm the host actually yeah you
14850s	are the host actually just turn it
14852s	around fine you know what we've never
14853s	done that before I have an interesting
14856s	idea here all right on you go all right
14859s	what's next oh what's next okay well you
14862s	know we did see a lot of uh very
14863s	interesting comp
14864s	but me it the Navy Dominic died so fast
14871s	they we
14874s	need please so the nav Dominic's uh
14876s	great bat lots of damage uh usually fit
14879s	with armor not common to see with Shield
14881s	you can fit it with shield and in this
14882s	instance they died really fast because
14884s	the damage that was being applied to
14885s	them by their opponents Tru on a light
14888s	in fact exceeded both their local tank
14890s	and the tank from the kierin and thus
14892s	they died uh see you're like okay I
14894s	don't want to be next to this I don't
14896s	want to be next to thism I'm sure you
14897s	know twitch chat would love it but you
14899s	know personal boundaries in space you
14901s	know what we could do next time is just
14902s	have all three of us right next to just
14904s	hdle in yeah just kind of huddle in
14906s	we'll come back to that yeah to that for
14908s	warmth no it it was a good uh it was a
14909s	good match though it was a very good
14911s	match honestly like I I respect the idea
14913s	of bringing Shield Navy domies in a sin
14915s	in a lance Tournament final in the first
14916s	place this is the kind of stuff we
14917s	talked about with the tuskers and their
14919s	theat crafting like they're not afraid
14921s	to go a little bit out of you know out
14923s	of the norm a lot of people would just
14925s	almost discard these ships almost
14926s	immediately but I mean to field it now
14929s	they had these already like they they
14930s	had tested this comp to the point that
14932s	they had these ships available ready to
14934s	jump into and they you know looked at
14937s	what they had and thought this could
14938s	work right now I I think it's also a
14940s	case of when you're 2N up in the series
14943s	right it's a best of five you have the
14945s	flexibility to try and bring some things
14947s	that you haven't necessarily practiced
14948s	too much before it may be a concept on a
14951s	spreadsheet where you're thinking about
14953s	Conquest band like okay we have these
14954s	really strong setups if we win with
14956s	these setups we cannot bring these ships
14958s	but these ships do similar things maybe
14961s	not as well but in the right
14962s	circumstances they can win like if they
14964s	had brought the Bal Gorn Widow it may
14966s	have been it may have stood a decent
14968s	chance right uh I feel like that was a
14970s	dice roll comp like if if they bring
14972s	what we think they might bring yeah then
14973s	we win with this kind of meme comp if
14975s	not it's okay we've still got two
14976s	matches in hand exactly and don't they
14979s	don't run the risk of getting knocked
14980s	out for doing it right so this is really
14982s	the time where they will be bringing out
14984s	things that they're not necessarily that
14985s	comfortable with and remember if we get
14987s	to match five all of the Bands disappear
14989s	right so it would only be the bands that
14991s	are actually selected prior to the match
14993s	which means that they can then fall back
14994s	on the strong comps that they've brought
14996s	before which they would feel way more
14997s	comfortable with so y again I'm I'm
14999s	expecting some wacky stuff for for
15001s	tuskers yep next match uh do we have any
15003s	maybe Dominic's
15004s	fits oh I bet you they're not on zkill
15007s	but I can I can take a look because
15008s	remember
15011s	they yeah nope we have no dominat kills
15015s	uh so we cannot see what they were fit
15017s	yeah they I don't think I think they
15018s	were fit with a lot of tracking mids
15020s	because I if so the sin actually kind of
15022s	held for a while like um yeah which was
15024s	surprising it was boosting I think
15026s	boosting boosting his little heart out U
15028s	as obviously as soon as the Kieran went
15030s	down uh the damage then kind of picked
15032s	up a little bit and that's kind of one
15033s	of the issues with Kieran is that they
15035s	have to be very very close to maximize
15037s	their repy I studied for this one we
15039s	talked about it this morning um but yeah
15042s	I think those Navy Dominic's like as
15044s	soon as the damage swapped to them they
15045s	just melted they were gone yeah so I I
15047s	have a feeling that they were probably
15048s	not buffer mids I think that they were
15052s	basically running on the assumption that
15053s	you would not Target them or they would
15055s	win before you got the opportunity to
15057s	Target them so I I I think they
15059s	basically loaded up their highs with NES
15060s	as well I think there was a shot where
15062s	there were four or five Cruisers and
15064s	battle Cruisers sitting on top of the
15065s	potato and the potato just had little
15069s	little sharp lines coming out of it
15070s	sucking capacitor away so I think they
15073s	were all gambling on the fact that if
15074s	they did go up against a medium gun spam
15076s	they'd be able to shut down DPS coming
15078s	out of ships for long enough that they
15079s	would be able to then effectively trade
15082s	um and unfortunately it just didn't seem
15083s	to be the case so it's the gamble you
15085s	take but I have a question for you Bart
15088s	um let's just theorize that this um goes
15092s	to match five all right all so Conquest
15095s	bands just to just to bring you up to
15097s	speed um tuskers won match one and two
15099s	all the ships they won with banned uh
15101s	Tru onite just won match three all those
15103s	ships are band for them but they only
15104s	apply to each team uh only the regular
15107s	bands apply to both teams so uh to truth
15109s	one light have one set of ships band out
15111s	tusers of two if we get to match five
15113s	where it's 22 in the series all Conquest
15115s	pans are reset and we only have the
15117s	match bans so we're back to just
15118s	basically it becomes a best of one for
15120s	Alliance tournament grand prize all
15122s	right so black scenario okay we get to
15126s	the the fifth match right now um does
15129s	the triple Dommy comp beat a flagship
15132s	Balor comp from Tron Light the triple
15136s	domy comp beats a flagship Bor and Widow
15139s	comp every single time the Triple Balor
15142s	or triple Dy comp does not necessarily
15145s	beat a flagship Balor comp but we what
15148s	about a flagship uh balgar the shack
15150s	comp cuz we've seen uh that been used
15152s	before no no no it's not it's not 200
15156s	what was it 15 16 it's not 2016 anymore
15159s	or at16 it's also not 2016 both of these
15162s	things are correct um no no no that's
15164s	way too many points uh I think what I
15166s	what what I would expect is um instead
15169s	of bringing cuz I don't think truth
15171s	honor light brings their flag uh flag
15173s	Bal Gorn Widow I think we've like every
15175s	single tusker setup they've brought is
15177s	like this kills the Widow you know like
15179s	horribly it's you just lose um I do
15182s	think that a flag Bal Gorn medium gun
15185s	spam would be really disgustingly
15188s	difficult to beat and I don't I haven't
15190s	seen tuskers bring anything that I think
15192s	would do good against it
15194s	medium guns I mean there's a lot of ewar
15196s	still on the table for the tuskers and I
15197s	think we'll see truth on the light have
15199s	been Banning um webs in their first two
15201s	bands the way the bands work is uh you
15203s	get two blind bands uh each team submits
15205s	them to the referees the referee then
15207s	announces what they they are to each
15208s	team if there's any duplicates you can
15209s	an extra uh ban or two depending if it's
15211s	two duplicates then you get the another
15213s	set of blind bands that's how we get our
15215s	bands that's why sometimes you see in
15216s	the middle there are some duplicates or
15217s	not um so far 20 have been Banning out
15220s	webs in their first ones yes right so
15223s	surely if what you're saying was going
15225s	to happen they would want to ban out um
15227s	like guidance and tracking disruption
15228s	there because otherwise there's so many
15229s	ships available that would perhaps
15232s	counter that so I normally agree with
15234s	that um however when you bring a flag
15236s	Bal Gorn into the consideration and you
15237s	basically have a 70 km web cuz we know
15241s	no matter how the truth honor light flag
15243s	Battleship was fit before then we now
15245s	know that it has two Toby webs because
15246s	they got it from the tuskers so they
15247s	have the the best the best webs in the
15250s	game uh that's the one thing that you
15252s	can kind of counter
15254s	um getting track and disrupted by is if
15255s	you can actually get on top of them cuz
15256s	the thing that uh you know we've said it
15258s	I don't think I've gotten to say it on
15259s	stream yet so I'm going to say it on
15260s	stream so I think that I'm sounding very
15261s	smart um the cool thing about a medium
15263s	gun spam setup is that it is actually a
15266s	DPS rush you don't have to play it like
15269s	a DPS rush but if you want to you can do
15271s	exactly what truth honor light just did
15272s	two tuskers and basically Ram in control
15275s	space your ship load your shortest range
15276s	Amo and press F1 now obviously tracking
15279s	disruptors are good modules but at the
15281s	end of the day you can either make it so
15283s	that it can't track the ship which can
15286s	be sort of countered by piloting or you
15288s	can make it so that you have less range
15290s	you can't really track and disrupt
15291s	medium guns down to the point of them
15293s	being useless unlike uh like blasters
15295s	from a Vindicator where you can track
15296s	and disrupt them down to having like 3
15298s	km range um so
15301s	there's I think that a flag Balor and
15305s	medium gun spam comp everything we've
15308s	seen from tuskers which we know they
15309s	have more uh I think they would have a
15311s	lot of trouble with it I do not think
15313s	that flag B gor widdow is a good idea
15315s	because everything we've seen from
15316s	tuskers would just destroy it mhm I
15319s	think it would also be tricky to bring a
15322s	flag Bal with a medium gun spam now mhm
15326s	since they've just won with medium guns
15327s	yeah I was thinking how many going to
15329s	lose so it would have to be match five
15331s	yeah match five is probably if we're
15332s	going to see it I think that's when it's
15333s	going to come that's why I said it yeah
15334s	cuz you said match five and so I was
15335s	like so everything's back we can bring
15337s	all of our spaceships again I mean I
15339s	wouldn't put it past some sort of like
15341s	odd truth on the light one with like
15342s	fantasms and for example because we've
15345s	seen them use stuff like that before so
15346s	I wouldn't put it past them to bring
15348s	another medium gun spam just now with
15350s	just a different set of ships that fit
15351s	medium guns yeah they could bring like
15353s	Navy fero's vultures or like anything
15355s	like that alongside the fantasms the
15357s	mowers that they' brought before um that
15359s	would all work I was just thinking more
15361s	in line with the flagship and also
15362s	thinking about arrival when they had
15363s	their flag varaga when they were doing
15365s	the medium gun rush but with the vager
15366s	as well yep um no I'm expecting just
15370s	another simple setup from truth on the
15372s	light which is going to be we do lots of
15373s	damage over many different ships and you
15375s	can kill a couple but we'll still do a
15377s	lot of damage and I think that's
15379s	effectively probably what're going to
15380s	going to play for there's you bring it
15382s	it's really it's really hard to shut
15383s	down um but you know I kind of depends
15388s	on how the bands go which I don't think
15389s	we have them yet um because it's
15391s	actually quite a while to the match
15392s	still it is it's about 10 minutes
15393s	actually we can actually look at the
15394s	conquest band so rather than me reading
15396s	them out to you dear viewers out in
15398s	twitch land uh I can actually clap my
15400s	hands and here they are so this is the
15402s	conquest bands again just to be clear
15405s	only the teams to which these Conquest
15407s	bands apply to cannot bring these ships
15408s	that means the truth on the light can
15410s	bring an ashim Mo if they want and uh
15412s	the tusker co can bring in a starte
15414s	because they did not have them in their
15415s	own Conquest bands mystical M what are
15418s	the like really important ships here for
15419s	both sides honestly I'm looking at
15421s	things like the the lower end the vigils
15423s	I think are very interesting um cuz
15426s	vigils you can see they're band out on
15428s	both sides because they're very
15429s	important ships they have the track uh
15431s	not the tracking disruptor the target
15432s	painter both bonus which makes it very
15435s	easy for you to begin applying your
15436s	damage to the low render ships but also
15438s	to track things like the logistics
15439s	Cruisers and FRS um I'd also say that
15442s	the magas and pontif effects um are
15444s	interesting ships to not have access to
15446s	anymore on the tuska side again because
15448s	it limits their ability to bring some of
15450s	the armor setups where you're not
15451s	necessarily bringing
15454s	um uh battle Cruisers but you're
15457s	bringing battleships instead so that
15459s	only leaves them with the the the uh
15462s	dger and the bifrost there we go I'm
15464s	getting there um but from the truth on
15467s	Light Side this is what I was saying
15468s	right they've lost the Absolution they
15469s	lost the they've lost the estar they've
15471s	lost the brck Navy isue they've lost the
15473s	harbinger Navy isue they don't really
15474s	have much of a battle cruiser cord to go
15477s	with the Balor anymore MH um so I feel
15479s	like it is pushing them solidly towards
15482s	Shields and what what would be
15483s	interesting to see is whether tusers go
15485s	for some Shield Logistics bands mhm um
15488s	to really mess with the truth on the
15489s	light ability to bring anything but I
15491s	think I would also expect to maybe see a
15494s	EOS ban perhaps against truth honor
15496s	light and maybe an armagedon Navy issue
15499s	all ships that can pa uh relatively well
15501s	of course we've seen a lot of oses it's
15503s	probably one of the most ban ship this
15504s	tournament Yeah by Banning the EOS
15505s	they're they're effectively stopping
15506s	truth on the light from bringing a
15508s	strong drone comp they could still F
15510s	Dominic of their own if they wanted to
15512s	they could just take the tuska setups
15514s	and run them back that's what I was
15516s	about to say is like but what if they
15518s	bring three
15519s	Dominic well I mean it's undefeated yeah
15522s	I mean that's the thing is like there's
15524s	no reason not to and um the tuskers have
15527s	been using it a couple times it's the
15529s	question is do they have them ready
15530s	because this is where like if they've
15532s	just decided now okay let's bring triple
15534s	domies not only unless they have the
15536s	those ships ready they have to be buying
15538s	them all up and draa fitting them up
15540s	they don't necessarily know how they
15541s	were fixed I don't think did they kill
15542s	any of the the domies The Dominics from
15544s	what I'm I'm pretty sure it has not died
15547s	yet and we cuz we've speculated on the
15549s	fit um I have a I have an inkling of
15552s	what I think it is but I don't know off
15555s	enough off the top of my head cuz they
15556s	do seem relatively tanky I thought one
15558s	died against that's that's what I was
15560s	trying to remember if one died or not
15562s	not no one has the Z thing well unless
15564s	PL sensitivity are willing to share that
15566s	kill with truth on a light and and then
15568s	you know this is where start gets
15569s	complicated yeah yeah they have nothing
15571s	to lose at this point
15573s	right those guys kicked us out here you
15575s	go but I mean you're right you could
15578s	take something that has been run against
15580s	you and then bring it against them and
15582s	and hope to do it but if don't have it
15583s	already and I mean do we we haven't seen
15586s	anyone else bring triple Dy and also
15589s	this armor cruise uh with you know
15592s	Shield CL destroyers that one I wouldn't
15594s	I would never ever try and do the armor
15596s	cruise yep because we don't know how any
15598s	of the ships are fit like they know how
15600s	the typhoons fit and that's it and
15602s	that's one of those things like that is
15603s	way too dangerous because there could be
15605s	some like that could be one of those
15606s	ones that literally Works based off of
15609s	the implants it could be work based off
15611s	of like the vigil Fleet issues specific
15613s	set of webs that that's one that like
15615s	not only do you need to know exact fits
15617s	for everything you also need to have
15618s	practice it a lot I think that the
15620s	triple Dy is something that truth honter
15622s	light could probably copy paste and fly
15624s	pretty well but again like both of those
15625s	are actually terrible ideas if you've
15627s	never flown it before because there's
15628s	little tiny intricacies and all this and
15630s	like I feel like we've seen it happen
15632s	before where teams will just copy paste
15634s	a setup and then just lose horribly with
15636s	it cuz they have no idea what's going on
15637s	there was a golden rule when I was on
15639s	the Hydra team which was if we bring
15641s	drones we lose that's
15643s	I think truth on a in general has never
15645s	really done well with
15647s	drones um yeah I would recommend against
15649s	bringing drones it's hard to get your
15651s	drones to feather for you exactly yeah
15652s	they just Brawl for some reason and die
15655s	they just do things and there's nothing
15656s	you can do to make them not do the thing
15658s	sometimes they don't do what you want
15659s	them to do true we can look at the bands
15661s	the bands are in now so let's let's see
15663s	the bands all right again all the
15666s	conquest bands are on top of this but
15667s	the tusker is Banning out the meas
15669s	pontif effect the EOS and the dger so
15671s	that is basically all of the armor
15673s	command destroyers off the field plus
15675s	that EOS there as well for the tuskers
15677s	truth on a light uh as we kind of
15679s	suspected going for those classic bands
15681s	again hugan Rapier hyena and also the
15684s	EOS you don't get any duplicates because
15686s	uh the EOS bands were both in the second
15688s	round black bar pirate what do you think
15689s	about these bands here is this what we
15691s	expected yeah I think so I think I mean
15694s	like at this point like it's the teams
15696s	just trying to like screw with each
15697s	other as much as possible so they're
15698s	trying to just hurt each other and
15700s	that's so toxic why must you hurt each
15703s	other but um the uh yeah the jogger band
15705s	that makes sense like so tuskers so for
15709s	the viewers and hopefully I remember
15710s	this right tuskers can only bring the
15712s	bifrost as their command desie if they
15715s	decide to bring one the entirety of
15718s	Shield battle Cruisers are open for both
15720s	sides mhm which is pretty cool so that's
15723s	something that can be links for you
15724s	links are very important by the way yeah
15725s	just trust us on this trust me bro uh I
15728s	would expect at this point you pretty
15731s	much have to bring Shield or you have to
15733s	bring something really wild I the only
15736s	thing I could see tuskers doing is maybe
15738s	doing like a heavy missile like of armor
15741s	comps would be like a weird heavy
15742s	missile armor kite comp with bifrost
15744s	links but even then like you don't have
15746s	vigil you don't have vigil Fleet issue
15747s	and the H Band all the painting stuff is
15750s	basically a Golem
15752s	BOS is still open the mighty BOS or
15756s	Golem basically the same thing
15759s	yeah if you ignore the points the size
15761s	the r yeah
15763s	yeah they basically look the same too if
15765s	you're like really zoomed out just
15767s	bracket classic yeah bracket there yeah
15770s	I mean we are teams are in system we're
15772s	just waiting for them to to warp in uh
15774s	to the arena um this is again this is
15777s	now um uh still for all the marbles
15780s	tuskers still have in their in their
15782s	sweaty little hands they have the
15785s	championship point the alliance
15786s	tournament 20 point they are holding it
15788s	gently and it's very heavy they are so
15792s	close is what yes they're so close to
15795s	this thing here you've no idea how heavy
15796s	this is solid gold um that they just
15799s	need one more match they need to kill
15801s	more points than they lose in this next
15803s	10 minutes basically and then they will
15805s	go home Alliance tournament champions
15807s	twice because they won before in
15808s	Alliance tournament 14 this will be
15809s	their second time uh truth on the light
15811s	also have won in the past as well this
15813s	will also be their second time if they
15814s	win so they need to uh get through this
15817s	match to keep that dream
15819s	alive but the funniest thing could Happ
15822s	but if the funniest thing could happen
15824s	I'm ready I see the teams are landing
15827s	there so we're literally moments Away
15829s	Ladies and Gentlemen no matter what
15830s	happens this has been a very exciting
15832s	Alliance tournament we have some
15833s	incredible matches some amazing teams
15835s	getting to new heights they've never got
15837s	to before some teams dropping
15839s	unexpectedly early in the tournament it
15841s	has been incredible uh I I've enjoyed
15844s	every moment of this I hope we get a
15846s	fifth match um because I just I I love
15849s	seeing matches this is great fun uh but
15851s	this could be it like again this could
15854s	be it so I think for maybe the last time
15858s	we will once again head over to the
15860s	arena for this match in Alliance
15862s	tournament
15865s	20 ladies and gentlemen welcome to match
15868s	four of the finals of Lance 220 tuskers
15870s	and THL and tuskers bringing an armor
15874s	Loki a tals a Nago an oracle haven't we
15876s	seen this before modat no I'm getting a
15878s	sense of deja vu I have felt this
15880s	feeling before truth honor light is
15883s	going to try to Tokyo Drift themselves
15885s	into the backline of tusu Co and use
15888s	their rail guns while I make puns to
15892s	make a lot of funds for winning Alliance
15894s	tournament 13 or sorry not 13 PTSD from
15898s	when I lost to a similar setup Alliance
15900s	tournament 20 um we saw this match
15903s	before like we're saying so how did TS
15905s	scor lose like what could have they done
15906s	differently to maybe pull out a w here
15909s	well I think they're going to have to
15910s	the thing is we're just talking about
15911s	the war ping angles actually cuz this
15913s	unlike the other match they are the
15915s	angles they come in they've come in at
15916s	both at 30 or 40 but the way they've
15918s	come in they're actually right next to
15919s	each other so I think unlike the last
15921s	match this match the damage is going to
15923s	be landing literally immediately on both
15925s	sides so things that you would want a
15928s	primary right like the Osprey or the
15931s	augurer you would understand like
15932s	wanting to get rid of those but
15934s	crucially tuskers what they kind of lost
15937s	last time is that they didn't have any
15938s	way to tackle or hold down THL THL ships
15941s	when they got low they ran away and THL
15943s	I mean they have the fantasms uh which
15945s	you know might be the uh the fantasm of
15948s	the Opera that lives inside the mind of
15951s	tuskers and mea lowkey straight down
15954s	into armor already already into armor
15956s	that's the webs that's the only Ship by
15957s	the way that tuskers still had available
15959s	for Demps and look at the webs applied
15961s	punch through the St get rid of the
15962s	armor links again none of the attack
15965s	Cruisers can do links so that is the
15966s	links completely off the board God look
15969s	at those six links applied they're going
15971s	to do exactly what they need to if that
15972s	Loki can burn away fast enough and he is
15975s	doing a pretty good job at pulling range
15978s	but I mean the damps are not maybe
15981s	enough Loki in down into Hull getting
15984s	reps Al not able to keep him up the Loki
15988s	does go down meanwhile the Naga of
15990s	verdict taking significant damage to the
15992s	lisus doing the damps might be the next
15994s	primary the attack bar of THL getting
15998s	you know harassed significantly because
16000s	again these damps these jams are really
16001s	shutting out the ability of THL to apply
16004s	damage but that tasker's defense bar is
16006s	rather low it's it's really low the Naga
16008s	does go down on verdict on the THL side
16010s	but still out the lowkey going down is
16012s	massive the control trade Osprey is
16014s	getting rather low he's getting painted
16016s	he's getting absolutely railed by the TS
16019s	and the Naga meanwhile the kitsun is
16021s	taking a ton of damage being tracked and
16023s	transm the kitsun all the jams are down
16026s	now the lisus is the only ship being
16028s	able to mitigate damage getting damps on
16029s	the Moa and maybe a logic trade augurer
16032s	of that um Jagger is about to get Jagger
16035s	bombed out of this match yeah lucasan
16037s	Jagger going into structure Lucas
16039s	holding on low Shield jger does go down
16041s	they all go down for tuskers this could
16042s	be the win that THL need Lucas Kon still
16045s	surviving nager goes down control freak
16046s	down for THL oh the this is backwards
16049s	and forwards Lees is another primary for
16051s	for um the the latch is getting caught
16053s	there's a web on top of him it looks
16055s	like that is going to be one of these
16058s	tackle ships specifically it's going to
16061s	be the Moa of domar longtime tournament
16064s	veteran using that experience to get on
16066s	top of the lack and once that's down
16068s	truth honor light will be free tusar
16071s	Massive Attack bar but that defense bar
16073s	they've got nothing left in the tank
16075s	they've got nothing left th bringing it
16077s	back from the from the abys might be a
16080s	reverse 3.0 hands the Oracle going down
16081s	with glassy Osprey Lucas still holding
16084s	on like a champ what a match I mean
16087s	honestly THL fantastic show Lucas St
16089s	still taking a bit of damage but only
16091s	the naga's dropping yeah this nag JJ y
16093s	the armor tank doesn't work yeah no he
16095s	is completely out and I mean when Jagger
16097s	of morit you know he died it proved that
16100s	THL they were the hunters and tuskers
16103s	were the prey here that Jagger getting
16105s	taken out of the arena miraie in that
16107s	tallos trying to pull range and you know
16109s	project but I mean the oppr of Lucius
16112s	Quan surviving as long as he did his
16114s	massive I mean last time we said that
16116s	you know he did boundary no longer in
16118s	pandemic Legion sometimes you can't take
16120s	the legion out of you know the man but
16122s	you can put this man in the Redemption
16125s	Arc now because we're going to go to
16127s	tutu and what that means is
16131s	tusers might have a little bit of a you
16134s	know a thousand yard stair because this
16136s	is exactly what happened to them with
16138s	fraternity right fraternity was down o0
16140s	to2
16142s	tuskers doing the same thing now we're
16144s	going to go 22 however crucially all the
16147s	conquest bands reset y slate is what
16149s	completely clean what does that mean for
16151s	us it means that we could see anything
16153s	yeah any comps can come back there's
16156s	nothing apart from the flag the only
16157s	thing they can't is the the tuska's flag
16159s	and with that we're going to go back to
16161s	the last final match but after this
16163s	break and back to the
16181s	desk truth honor light taking the second
16185s	of their victories now and taking the
16187s	series to
16188s	22 there is now confirmed one more match
16192s	to go in Alliance tournament 20 and it
16195s	will be quite literally a best of one
16198s	with everything unlocked again uh the
16200s	only bands will be the bands uh for that
16202s	match the only difference between the
16204s	two teams now is that truth on light
16206s	have a flagship available blackb pirate
16208s	though take me through what happened in
16209s	that match there I did say fantasms I
16211s	begin to think that perhaps I am
16213s	big
16216s	brain no um like look like it's kind of
16220s	expected right when you're having
16222s	trouble you go back to the basics and
16223s	the basics that truth on light is very
16225s	good at are taking a bunch of medium gum
16227s	chips and shooting things with them and
16229s	uh they did a great job of it and um
16232s	yeah I don't know like it it's a lot of
16234s	damage it's a lot of damage and there's
16236s	a lot of uh questionable ship picks on
16238s	the tusker side which we saw them have a
16241s	lot of trouble with already once they
16242s	brought it back they got gunned down by
16244s	medium guns um it was a little touch and
16248s	go there for a second I think that the
16249s	Loki getting rid of that quickly was
16251s	like I think if it had lived another 20
16253s	seconds it would have been over uh
16254s	because the amount of webs but Cu uh the
16257s	all the treeon light ships were kind of
16258s	webbed in like bad spots and then
16259s	getting damped down by eles and Amala so
16261s	they couldn't actually lock anything but
16263s	as soon as that Loki went down you just
16265s	watched like every single up just
16266s	disappear and then they rushed in and
16268s	then they started taking chips down but
16270s	it was I mean it was a good play really
16272s	good call it was really touch and go a
16274s	couple times there yes I feel like if uh
16276s	if that Loki didn't get caught or if
16278s	that Loki managed to uh just stay alive
16280s	you you've said it yourself uh B um a
16282s	medium gun spam is also a damage Rush
16285s	comp um a gun Rush some might even say
16287s	maybe that means no you're not going to
16289s	not actually I'm going to stop you from
16291s	saying that say do it the legendary gush
16296s	comp um so they gushed in um and they
16301s	they grabbed that l
16303s	uh and I think that's that's pretty much
16304s	exactly as you said um normally these
16306s	comps tend to prefer to sit at range but
16308s	as soon as that match started we just
16309s	saw velocity arrows going straight
16311s	towards the tuskers comp you know truth
16313s	on the light they're experienced enough
16314s	they recognize like this is our win
16317s	condition is get rid of probably at
16319s	least the Loki and then the lisus um and
16321s	because this is exactly what truth on a
16323s	light did with a lisus and it just
16325s	controlled a rush comp all over the
16326s	place in this case truth light were able
16328s	to overpower them and get in there
16330s	mytical might could that gone differ did
16332s	you think or was the gush comp always
16335s	going to catch up with the Loki I think
16336s	the important thing here is that truth
16338s	on the light after they killed the Loki
16340s	they they started shooting the lisus and
16343s	I went oh no because the lisus has very
16347s	good natural kin THM resists and
16350s	basically all of the ships on the truth
16351s	on the light side were doing kinetic
16353s	damage and thermal damage due to the
16355s	fact that they are using rails um there
16358s	are different damage types in the game
16360s	um the benefit of missiles is that you
16362s	can pick which damage type you're going
16363s	to use so you have explosive kinetic
16365s	thermal and EM damage um guns are
16369s	typically locked to a particular type of
16371s	damage type so for energy guns it's
16373s	going to be um em and thermal for rail
16377s	guns it's going to be kinetic and
16379s	thermal there are other guns like the
16381s	trig guns which I think are thermal and
16383s	explosive or kinetic and explosive
16385s	someone can correct me in twitch chat
16387s	you're always right but the point is
16390s	when you're
16391s	shooting um a ship that has naturally
16393s	High resists you want to clear the lodgy
16395s	away because the lodg is going to have a
16397s	very easy time keeping that ship up when
16399s	you are shooting it which is what they
16400s	did they eventually switched to the
16401s	kitson they got rid of the aura those
16404s	were the correct choices if they had
16406s	delayed in making that choice then it
16408s	was entirely possible that they were
16409s	actually going to fall apart Slowly by
16411s	making the classic mistake that other
16413s	teams have made in the tournament which
16414s	is just fixating and tunnel visioning on
16416s	the first Target that they're shooting
16418s	so I think it was a case of tuskers
16420s	would have had a really hard time
16421s	winning
16422s	but truth on the light would have had a
16424s	decent time losing their Victory I
16426s	suppose it was more in their hands to
16428s	lose than it was for tuskers to win yep
16429s	I agree all right so um if you've been
16432s	watching from home uh you see me wearing
16433s	this rather fetching Alliance tournament
16435s	hat uh if we can maybe go to this camera
16437s	and maybe even if we can zoom in on this
16439s	camera here on on the old uh head
16441s	covering here this one here we're using
16443s	apparently let me zoom in there so this
16445s	uh this amazing Alliance tournament 20
16447s	hat signed oh no we are using this
16450s	one signed by the entire crew um we're
16454s	going to raffle this off so someone in a
16457s	in twitch chat land uh you can win this
16460s	uh this rather fetching hat signed by
16461s	everyone here uh on the crew uh it's
16464s	pretty cool so uh CCB convict is going
16467s	to be starting that raffle up um in chat
16469s	so make sure you get in there uh and
16471s	have a chance to win it um someone will
16474s	send it to you I'm sure head sweat is
16476s	included you're welcome yes the head
16477s	sweat is actually what gives it its true
16479s	value yeah exactly if you just like ring
16481s	it out you might get if you pay extra
16482s	I'll run some laps around the
16485s	building all right so we have 20 minutes
16487s	20 minutes until the next match both of
16490s	you have either been in teams or um or
16492s	you know been with teams have been in
16494s	this position before everything is
16497s	unlocked mystical mate I'll come to you
16499s	first what is going through each of
16501s	these teams right now now if I were in
16503s	their position I would be spiraling uh
16505s	but I'm a known stressor when it comes
16507s	to these things which is why I did not
16509s	typically get involved with the pics and
16510s	the bands uh cuz whenever did it was not
16512s	a fun time for me um I think you just
16516s	kind of have to reset you accept okay
16518s	we've lost two matches uh in truth
16520s	honors in truth onor light's mind
16522s	they've lost the first two matches but
16524s	they've come back they've kind of
16526s	settled their nerves I think they've got
16527s	their confidence back a little bit by
16529s	winning those as well yeah and the
16530s	momentum right so now they're like okay
16533s	we can do this yeah we we've won two
16536s	matches we just need to win one more we
16538s	have our full toall kit available to us
16541s	including the flagship they don't
16542s	necessarily need to use it but now they
16544s	do have the ability to bring the bagor
16546s	and arm a gun rush if they wanted to um
16549s	if they wanted to utilize it in some
16552s	way but they're also probably going to
16554s	be concerned with the fact that tuskers
16557s	have the Dominic and the Cru typhoons
16558s	right so I it might change their ban
16562s	strategy a little bit I'm I'm expecting
16564s	Rapier hugan but then I might see I
16567s	expect to see a Dominic span just to
16569s	push them towards missile g yep um and
16572s	you know the the disruption that come
16574s	with it um
16577s	or also I'm interested to see what
16579s	happens if this Flagship comes out or
16581s	not there's like a split opinion whether
16582s	or not they bring them and I think
16584s	actually it' be fun CCB convict look at
16586s	me I'm looking at you now can you make a
16588s	a poll in twitch chat will truth onor
16590s	light bring their Flagship Balor for
16592s	this last match I'd like to see what
16593s	twitch chat thinks about that uh so we
16595s	can base our opinions on or are they
16596s	cowards or are they cowards that is
16598s	added add a com my mystical mind this is
16600s	not the opinion obviously I see not
16603s	anymore I believe I believe you were
16604s	confidently saying cowards earlier
16606s	listen this this has can't be clipped I
16609s	see oh okay you know there's actually a
16611s	there's already a clip of you saying you
16613s	know camera look at me getting down here
16615s	and saying if you don't bring a flagship
16617s	you're a coward it's yeah but I've
16619s	changed my mind oh is that allowed yes
16623s	oh okay I didn't know interesting can do
16626s	that I can oh so anyway let's continue
16630s	um what do you guys think about this
16632s	Flagship or not Bart do you think
16634s	they're going to bring it do you think I
16636s	mean I feel like there's two questions
16637s	question one are truth going to bring
16639s	their Flagship or not in this next match
16641s	question two are tuskers going to think
16643s	that FL children like bring their
16644s	Flagship or not in this match because
16646s	those are two different but related
16648s	questions yeah I think um I don't think
16651s	tuskers
16652s	cares that's my actual thing I don't
16654s	think I hope so I actually think J I was
16655s	thinking that's ear later on I think
16657s	tuskers actually might be mentally at
16659s	least in a better place for not having
16661s	their flagship because they don't have
16662s	to make the decision yeah to bring it or
16665s	not that's that's been made for them I I
16667s	think all the comps that tuskers have
16669s	been running would effectively deal with
16671s	the flagship anyway like they wouldn't
16672s	suffer too much from being webbed by the
16673s	Bal Gorn and they don't necessarily need
16675s	capaca to run their guns for example
16678s	especially with a lot of the Drone comps
16679s	that they've been doing I think the only
16681s	comp that would have struggled a little
16683s	bit against the Balor was the comp from
16685s	last match where they had the Loki and
16686s	the lisus but even then those two ships
16688s	would do an effective job of pinning
16690s	down the Balor and allowing the tses and
16692s	the nagas and the oracles to stay very
16693s	far away so I mean honestly I think
16696s	tuskers have kind of just accepted that
16698s	there will be a Bor that they have to go
16699s	up against but they are bringing comps
16701s	that can both beat the Balor but also
16704s	beat most of the standard comps that
16705s	we've seen in the tournament so far can
16707s	they beat meim gun Rush apparently not I
16710s	mean seriously like we've seen it happen
16712s	twice they've lost to it both times I
16714s	they seem to have a lot of trouble with
16716s	it and I think um that's where I would
16718s	be worrying about right now so I I'm
16720s	kind of thinking that if I'm I'm more
16722s	afraid of medium gun Rush right now than
16725s	Flagship battle I think a large part of
16727s	why they're having so much issue is that
16728s	they're bringing the three battle ships
16730s	right and that takes up quite a bit of
16731s	points and then they're typically well
16733s	not typically sometimes they're running
16735s	yes by the way that everyone's going to
16736s	they're going to bring how much
16738s	640 oh okay okay so we have some amount
16741s	of people that may or may not be smart
16744s	twitch trap is always wrong oh so twitch
16750s	chat RI against this man almost always
16752s	wrong almost always wrong maybe this is
16755s	the time that you're right who knows but
16757s	what I was saying is um I think the
16759s	major issue is that they oh now you're
16762s	rioting oh now this is what you Riot
16764s	over huh this this is it this was the
16767s	thing that pushed over the Ed like up
16769s	until everything was fine but that man
16771s	just said we are wrong on the internet
16774s	now they're
16775s	unified um no what I was going to say is
16777s	they're bringing the three battleships
16778s	which takes up a lot of points and it
16779s	doesn't really leave them much to both
16781s	do War which they're using to both
16783s	support and also amplify their damage
16785s	with things like the vigils the vigil
16786s	Fleet issues but also arbitrators or
16788s	crucifiers to to reduce the incoming
16790s	damage and have a screen right like they
16794s	don't have assault frigs they're not
16795s	being used much at all by either team uh
16797s	we don't have any we haven't seen much
16799s	in the way of like punishers or any
16801s	other T1 frigs that have strong tanks
16803s	that you can just sit on top of a Target
16805s	and stop it from moving they are really
16808s	relying on the vi Fleet issue which has
16810s	fairly low web rate R and is also fairly
16812s	squishy so it has to be close and it
16814s	will eventually die and the crew which
16816s	also suffers from the same thing low web
16817s	range it has to get close to web which
16820s	means that it will eventually die so I
16822s	feel like if they did want to beat the
16825s	medium gun spam they would need to put
16827s	more points towards screening and I'm
16829s	not sure if they've got any comps that
16831s	could really effectively do that besides
16833s	maybe the CFI Guardian comp where they
16835s	would just kite around the edge of the
16836s	arena and even then they're going to get
16837s	hit right because the medium gun span
16839s	one of the benefits is that it has the
16841s	ability to out to about that 70 80 km
16843s	Mark and still do decent damage um so
16846s	it'll be interesting to see whether
16848s	tuskers have something else in their
16849s	back pocket that they're prepared to
16850s	bring to count or if they're just going
16852s	to go for a mirror match up yeah yeah I
16854s	mean that is that is the other option if
16856s	medium gun spams open for one team it is
16859s	inherently now open for the other team I
16861s	think it will really depend on what we
16862s	see in the bands uh when we get those
16863s	we'll we'll let you guys know we don't
16865s	have them just yet um but I mean I'm
16867s	expecting to see megas Ponte coming from
16869s	uh tuskers maybe also the EOS the to
16872s	like to ban that and perhaps if they're
16874s	going for some sort of weird Shield
16875s	thing they might go for the dger as well
16877s	I expect not with this Conquest ban
16879s	unlock I think they'll do something else
16881s	and then I also would expect us truth on
16883s	light to be banning the uh the Rapier
16885s	and the hugan again I'm expecting tusco
16888s	ban like you said um all of those ships
16892s	but I think the final one is probably
16894s	going to be like the lisus and then I
16896s	think truth on a light stick with the
16898s	Rapier and the hugan but they probably
16900s	ban the Dominic and maybe duplicate ban
16903s	the EOS at the end just to be sure that
16905s	they're not going to face some other
16906s	form of drone setup yeah we have seen
16908s	tuskers bring a pretty potent EOS drone
16910s	setup ear on in the tournament they won
16912s	with it I can't remember right now who
16913s	they beat but I do remember it was was
16915s	quite dominant uh from from what I
16917s	recall um so this is the part where
16920s	there's so long to think about this and
16922s	the teams now have played each other a
16923s	bunch of times was it two matches in the
16925s	in the upper bracket and then now uh
16927s	four matches so they've played six
16929s	matches against each other with very ban
16932s	Theory and execution um flagships no
16935s	flagships etc etc so all that
16937s	information is you know spiraling around
16939s	inside their heads right now and I
16940s	guarantee you each of these teams uh
16942s	last night went through and were like
16944s	prepping for the teams that they were
16946s	likely to face in the finals there was
16947s	only four teams left when we came into
16949s	the tournament this morning so really
16950s	only has three teams you have to prepare
16951s	against and you can kind of like make a
16953s	okay we think this is who's likely to be
16955s	facing us and you're going to watch all
16958s	their matches you're going to be looking
16959s	at what they're banning you're going to
16960s	have a spreadsheet you're going to be
16961s	kind of trying to figure out what
16962s	they're doing with their bands what they
16964s	don't like Bart like what kind of
16966s	information can you kind of glean from
16967s	doing this kind of research I mean
16969s	honestly like I I kind of slightly
16972s	disagree I I have a feeling that Treon
16974s	or light probably only prepped versus
16976s	tuskers just because of the ego thing um
16980s	as for the research for it I mean like
16983s	yeah you can literally just going back
16985s	and watching the match like for instance
16986s	you're talking about the EOS you can
16988s	look at it and see oh these EOS were
16990s	paper fit um you can go back and look at
16992s	the Dominic's and you can actually just
16994s	watch the way that they flew I clearly
16995s	they didn't pay that much attention
16996s	because I got M on top of but like you
16998s	could go back and look at it and be like
16999s	oh these guys have this plan where you
17001s	know if we come in close to them they're
17003s	going to run back to a beacon and then
17004s	njd into our back line um you can glean
17006s	a lot from fits even without actually
17008s	having seeing the fits just by you know
17011s	replaying something over and over again
17012s	and seeing things like okay well that
17013s	chip snck this one and he got Ned and
17017s	now they're slowing down okay so clearly
17018s	there's more heavy NES than just one
17020s	right like you got you you got cat nuked
17022s	instantly so yeah I mean you know I'm
17025s	sure they did a lot of work I'm sure
17026s	there's a lot of uh sleepless nights
17029s	watching pouring over the replays um the
17032s	thing is that gets really rough though
17034s	is for teams going up against ones like
17036s	truth honor light and tuskers is it's
17038s	not just this sat that you have to look
17040s	at mhm you have several years of matches
17043s	and uh while the points are different
17046s	that doesn't necessarily mean the comps
17048s	can be different M um they a lot of
17050s	ships are fairly changeable uh I mean
17053s	we're seeing spiky boy fantasms coming
17055s	out in a medium Shield gun Rush which is
17057s	you know a lot of people like oh that's
17058s	kind of weird and it's like well no
17059s	that's pretty good so you kind of have
17061s	to look at like their historical play
17062s	and I would say that like historically
17065s	um truth honor light is very like for
17067s	the last couple years has been very into
17068s	medium gun spam and they've also been
17070s	very into uh ECM control uh specifically
17073s	Jam ECM control whereas tuskers
17076s	historically has been very into weird
17078s	[ __ ] so that's a little harder like it's
17081s	it's rougher to prepare against them you
17083s	just comp sham them yeah I mean it's
17085s	it's it
17087s	worked it almost worked worked but now
17091s	they doing the funniest thing maybe
17094s	maybe maybe I mean we can look at the
17095s	bands now I've me told the bands are
17097s	available so let's take a look at the
17099s	bands for this final match in allance
17100s	tournament 20 so the Zoras the EOS the
17103s	Cur and the pilgrim being banned out by
17105s	the tuskers co and then truth on Alik
17107s	banning at the hugan the Rapier The
17109s	Dominics and the ashim so they Rec ni
17111s	finally someone has recognized the
17113s	threat the true threat of the triple Dy
17116s	uh The Undefeated triple Dy in fact and
17118s	Truth on the light baring that out so
17119s	they see that comp and they know it is a
17122s	threat uh mystical M what else do you
17124s	see in these bands here I find it
17126s	interesting that the tuskers at this
17127s	point have decided that the lisus and
17129s	the arazu aren't the two ships that
17130s	they're worried about in terms of Recons
17132s	but they've gone for the curse and the
17133s	pilgrim um the rest of it I mean
17137s	anticipated the Dominic ban just because
17139s	it's shown to be such a strong and
17140s	effective from the T
17142s	and it's not likely that th would want
17143s	to bring it out out of the blue without
17145s	having had much practice with it cuz as
17147s	Bart said there are slight intricacies
17150s	to both fits and play Styles um and
17153s	timings in the match that can all Impact
17155s	how effective the comp is like do you
17157s	all assign drones or do you all lock the
17159s	target individually and then shoot or um
17162s	at what point do you then swap to like a
17165s	logistics frig or a logistics Cruiser
17167s	instead of shooting a Mainline DPS ship
17169s	and also THL have always been really
17172s	really bad with drones so it's probably
17174s	for the best that they've banned
17175s	dominicis here um I think the ashim ban
17178s	is really the interesting one as we
17179s	haven't seen I think other Ashu bands
17181s	from truth on the light or the tuskers
17183s	so far I might be wrong let me know
17185s	twitch chat you're already the enemy to
17188s	Twitch they're going to tell me I'm
17190s	wrong anyway everyone just like this guy
17192s	sucks but it it shows again that they
17195s	want to remove as much screening as
17196s	possible and it seems like they're
17198s	comfortable leaving in things like the
17200s	visual Fleet issue or the ker because
17202s	even though they do the same thing as
17204s	the ashamu they do it at about the same
17206s	range and they tank a lot less so it's a
17207s	lot easier to clear mhm so just to be
17210s	clear um all the conquest bands have
17212s	gone they've been reset this is uh a
17214s	best of one now basically this is just
17216s	your regular old Alliance tournament
17217s	match like you had faing weekend one
17220s	except it's in the grand finals and uh
17222s	if you lose it's the end of the
17224s	tournament and if you win it's also the
17225s	end of the tournament got you win like
17226s	this is it there's only 10 minutes left
17228s	maximum H well 15 if it goes to overtime
17231s	I guess
17231s	that would be very funny if we went over
17233s	time would be very enjoyable um so I
17236s	mean we're getting very close to this uh
17237s	another typhoon comp is still available
17240s	the tuskers as well um part of me is
17243s	still expecting like you say the sort of
17245s	medium gun Rush coming from truth on the
17249s	light like that feels it's been so
17250s	strong they've defeated tuskers with it
17252s	multiple times already you know do you
17255s	pivot away from something that's been
17256s	proven to work so I think that the the
17259s	one comp that tuskers has that seem
17261s	seems to give medium guns a decent
17262s	amount of trouble is the typhoon setup
17265s	um and also I kind of like I'm going to
17267s	try and try and get inside the minds of
17270s	the people that are Banning here and
17271s	which will either I'll be super correct
17273s	and I'll feel really really smart or
17275s	I'll be completely wrong and I'll still
17276s	be like well they should have done what
17277s	I said well that's why they lost or won
17280s	um but the uh the curs pilgrim ban from
17284s	the tuskers is a pretty good signal to
17287s	say look we've opened up your medium gun
17290s	comp that's kind of how I look at it is
17292s	it's tusker saying bring this against us
17295s	um I think it's also hinting towards
17298s	them bringing well not wanting to see
17300s	guidance disruptors yeah but you still
17302s	have Sentinels and you still have
17304s	crucifiers which also are ships that do
17306s	that thing yeah and um I personally
17310s	prediction for this even though we're
17311s	not there yet I think tuskers brings
17313s	Dominic's but not doin are
17316s	ban no please please don't do it they
17320s	run it back
17322s	no um I I think that they uh not
17324s	Dominic's I was I'm spacing Armageddon
17326s	yes talk about that Navy issues or no no
17329s	no regular issue we just replace the
17330s	domies with gons because the doy andon
17334s	are very oh yes is it though yes yeah
17337s	Armageddon Armageddon hello sound
17341s	guy yeah the uh no I think I think a
17343s	triple geddon is basically the same like
17346s	the way tuskers have been flying it I
17348s	think triple geddon is very very similar
17350s	the the downside is you can't use Sentry
17352s	sniping yep but the upside big NES yeah
17356s	so and that's the the lch pin of that
17358s	tusker Dominic comp has not really like
17360s	against the bad teams it's been the
17362s	centuries but against these good teams
17363s	it's the fact that when you get your
17364s	three Dominic's into into the brawl into
17368s	the melee uh you now have so many heavy
17370s	NES and like what if you didn't even
17372s	have to get that close I mean also
17373s	there's a thing we said on the desk a
17375s	couple of times uh you started uh by
17377s	saying it um if you can't beat a shield
17379s	Rush comp with uh whatever you're
17381s	bringing then you shouldn't be bringing
17382s	that comp in the first place um and yet
17386s	some part of me some part of my brain
17387s	thinks that one of these teams might
17389s	just try and bring a shield rush and try
17391s	and just win with it and we saw um the I
17395s	think the tusos were Banning out the
17396s	laus and the r other because they were
17397s	afraid of those uh long range scrams
17400s	they've left them open which I don't
17402s	know maybe they're saying bring your uh
17404s	your kiting uh comp with that lisus that
17407s	was you you controlled the other team I
17409s	can't remember who they were at this
17410s	moment in time but they controlled them
17411s	so well and kept them at arms length and
17413s	almost no damage landed truth onon light
17414s	you're thinking truth onor light might
17415s	bring the fly killer yes no no you no
17419s	typhoons are still open the typhoons are
17421s	just oh come on like yeah I'm trying to
17423s	talk look at all this t no I'm aware I'm
17425s	saying imagine these typhoons are
17428s	blowing up Tenon deacons true that was
17430s	something like I mean all and all those
17432s	paints are available y yeah is the Hy
17436s	available think right sorry I'm I the I
17438s	believe the Hy is can we see the bands
17440s	again rap hug Rapier and Ash hug Rapier
17444s	okay so the hyena the vigil Fleet and
17445s	the regular vigil all available um we
17448s	did see the hyen good Alfred basically
17450s	the start of the last match but still
17452s	Cruise typhoons were able to apply to
17454s	tenan deacons which already is is an
17458s	impressive uh achievement um honestly I
17461s	think uh Bart you may be right in this
17463s	uh in that instance uh I think that is
17465s	what we've seen so far at least from the
17467s	tusker that might be what I would choose
17469s	to bring yeah I I I think the tusker set
17471s	up for them to bring I'm not going to
17472s	necessarily say it's their Apex comp um
17475s	cuz that might be the the potato Fleet
17477s	but uh cuz they're they're both good but
17478s	I think this a cruise typhoon comp it's
17480s	undefeated no one's coming even close to
17482s	it um I think that because the hyena is
17485s	open uh it gives you so much control um
17487s	because the issue with the hyena is
17490s	like I'm trying to I'm literally trying
17492s	to visualize the point breakdown and I
17494s	can't because it's too complicated to do
17496s	in my head right now but I feel like you
17498s	can bring the triple uh Cruise
17500s	battleship and a hyena and then throw
17503s	like two crucifiers in there to keep the
17504s	hyena alive or something like that and
17506s	then just use the fact that you have
17508s	massive damage that applies to literally
17510s	every ship in the game apparently
17512s	including tournament deacons even though
17514s	it shouldn't to win the game there so I
17517s	mean that's that's kind of what I think
17518s	tuskers does and the thing with that
17520s	comp is you know what would be really
17521s	really good against flag Balor M what
17523s	about this ashim M BAND from truth on
17525s	the light though I feel like the other
17526s	three bands make obvious sense to me um
17530s	it's the it's the way bab boys and it's
17532s	the the the dmy boy um ashim seems to
17535s	sort of not fit in there one hello y I
17538s	am looking at the chat reading all of
17540s	your beautiful and wonderful opinions um
17543s	I think that I mean again it just kind
17545s	of calls back to the fact that truth on
17547s	the light don't seem to want to be
17549s	screened all that much I do feel like um
17554s	we might see a little Florida man at the
17557s	end it's entirely possible um I was
17560s	actually thinking I think I think we
17562s	might see some alligators um Loki still
17565s	open I think if I'm Loki still open yes
17568s	so that that there is still ham Rush on
17571s	the table neither team has fielded it
17573s	against the typhoons I feel like ham
17576s	Rush might do okay the main concern is
17580s	not being able to get onto the typhoons
17582s	and we have seen in one of the previous
17583s	matches that tuskers fly their typhoons
17586s	very very well where they were basically
17588s	in three different corners of the Arena
17589s	so even after you've killed typhoon the
17591s	other two typhoons are going to be so
17594s	far away right you're going to spend so
17596s	much time getting there the key thing
17598s	for truth on the light and the reason
17599s	why they may may have Bann the Ashu is
17601s	that they need to get on top of the
17603s	typhoons quickly while they're still
17604s	close together and one of the things
17606s	that would have stop them is longrange
17608s	webs right so the only real way that
17610s	they would be stopped now is vual Fleet
17613s	issue which means it has to get into a
17614s	reasonably close range and may get
17616s	counter webbed or a hyena which has
17620s	probably the best range of any of the
17621s	ships left um followed closely by the
17624s	Loki
17625s	so I mean I I I do feel like that
17628s	there's going to be a ham rush just to
17629s	to end it out hopefully not like a
17631s	slepner and kriel rush but I could see
17634s	that yeah yeah I could also that's also
17636s	these are the two things that are coming
17637s	to mind right now there's there's so
17639s	much on the table there's so much open
17641s	this is a a best of one I've said this
17643s	already I'll say it again just to
17644s	highlight the importance of where we are
17645s	now in this tournament it literally
17648s	comes down to the decisions that have
17649s	already been made in terms of banning
17652s	the decisions that have already been
17652s	made in terms of Which comp they're
17654s	going to bring and then now uh they have
17656s	to decide which ranges they're Waring in
17657s	both teams are in system and are warping
17659s	to the arena as we speak so the match is
17662s	is almost ready we are so close like a
17665s	minute or two away from the conclusion
17668s	of Alliance tournament 20 so we had
17671s	truth on a light okay they came in
17673s	direct invite from last year uh where
17675s	they become fourth last year fourth um
17678s	and they did uh excellent they stormed
17681s	through the upper bracket making it to
17683s	the uh the winnner bracket final where
17686s	they went 2-0 against the tuskers co
17688s	knocking tuskers down into their uh into
17691s	the elimination bracket the tuskers also
17694s	had a great run with a direct invite
17695s	coming second last year going 23 against
17699s	uh Fraternity in the Grand Final um and
17702s	then they came in they went through the
17703s	upper bracket to the gr to the upper
17705s	bracket final got knocked down went two
17707s	and0 against Platinum sensitivity and
17708s	then came into this Grand Final now
17710s	going 2-0 against truth on the light
17712s	truth on the light have now come back 2
17714s	to2 and Truth on the light are bringing
17716s	their Flagship so we are going to see a
17718s	flagship comp okay on the field so mytic
17723s	kite black are you guys ready I hope you
17725s	are all ready out there as well ladies
17727s	and gentlemen this is it this is the
17729s	final match of Alliance tournament 20
17731s	the winner of this match will be your
17733s	Champions so for the last time let's
17736s	head over to the arena
17740s	hello I am moderator joined by Starfleet
17743s	Commander for what will be the final
17745s	match of Alliance tournament 20 truth
17748s	onor light has brought their Apex Bell
17750s	Gorn supported by medium guns spam
17753s	however tusos Co have brought not one or
17756s	two but three typhoons and hyenas so
17760s	these Fleet typhoons are they going to
17762s	sweep away this Bal Gorn is that ball
17764s	going to be like Winston and Cast Away
17767s	or will the hyenas pounce on these
17769s	deacons and take a bite out tror light
17772s	as I hear some cheering going on from
17774s	the from this Des at the moment per
17775s	excit for the match Cruz Fon as we've
17777s	seen earlier today the damage going be
17779s	kind of Landing fast from two the light
17781s	but tuska is going to have a difficult
17783s	job I think the balor's going to get
17784s	webs immediately yes Balor came in at 10
17786s	kmet off the beacon he's going to be in
17788s	web range of everything and they're
17789s	going right for the hes I think that's
17790s	the perfect call the hes are trying to
17792s	get away as fast as they can and they do
17794s	actually for the most part Flack
17796s	Inquisitor is the only one and the Ty
17798s	typhoon Fleet issues are running in
17800s	they're trying to hard commit onto the
17801s	Navy bruix they're trying to just knock
17803s	it out using those paints to apply
17805s	perfectly and that bruix is taking an
17808s	absolute pounding blue melon going down
17810s	into half armor NES onto the Navy Omen
17812s	just trying to turn it off meanwhile all
17814s	of this CHL core is getting on top of v
17817s	d and trying to say v d these nuts
17820s	you're getting out of the Arena on you
17822s	at zero blue men and about to go down in
17824s	the butic Navy ISU three highers as well
17827s	for the Tusa so plenty of application
17829s	the Cru will be hitting perfectly and
17831s	the webs are getting on top of that
17833s	Deacon once that TW that sorry that
17836s	bruix goes down those deacons are both
17838s	webbed are they webbed apart from each
17840s	other one hyena down they still have two
17842s	left one down the answer to bring for
17845s	your hyen is bring more highers the blue
17847s	men does go down the everyy botics next
17849s	Target is the Deacon as you said Lucas
17851s	quorn Tepe and webbed as you seen
17853s	earlier today these things just pop with
17854s	the and Tin Baron is on top of him at
17856s	zero which is perfect but tin Baron is
17858s	taking n pressure Lucas isting web down
17861s	really hard that's at least like two or
17863s	three webs on him the hyena one of them
17865s	is dropping one of them's low help they
17867s	trade the Deacon they trade the Deacon
17868s	for the hyena there's Flack left there's
17871s	still NES onto Tin Tin has gotten webt I
17874s	mean the typhoon of vld is still
17876s	surviving I said vld these nuts but vld
17879s	is turning around and saying hey you're
17881s	not sweeping me out my typhoon we're
17883s	going to be the gust of wi that knocks
17885s	you down as this Deacon of tin Baron
17887s	goes down and explodes to cruise tin bar
17890s	going down there's still one more high
17891s	in the left for the tuskers that's
17893s	that's why you bring three of them in
17894s	the first place the typhoon still
17895s	looking strong looking probably to go
17897s	for the estar maybe the Balon is still
17899s	an impressive force and chriso taking a
17901s	lot of dam damage oner webbed and TP
17903s	down by THL about to go down this to
17905s	structure is in structure and he does go
17907s	down logy 3 is going down for tuskers
17909s	now yeah I mean that Inquisitor wasn't
17911s	even caught down by any of these tackle
17913s	chips it was just the Bal Gorn of a is
17915s	saying you're caught at 70 km and you
17918s	going to slow down and die the start
17920s	ever is taking a massive pounding he has
17923s	basically not moving at all he's he's
17925s	either not propping because he doesn't
17927s	want a signature to bloom and get hit by
17928s	cruises either earlier or he's just
17931s	completely Capt right anyway he's about
17933s	to go down and once he goes down
17936s	critically vld is getting some uh
17938s	repairs it looks like that's either
17940s	active tank or that's going to be logib
17942s	Bots and it is logib Bots that's going
17944s	to be the other typhoons supporting him
17946s	with those heavy and medium drones
17948s	providing crucial logistic support
17950s	speaking of support though that pontif
17952s	effect FX is going down and once that
17955s	that's down that's the armor links off
17956s	the last thing that the Bal gor need to
17958s	survive Navy Omen doesn't have any links
17961s	it's just some Cruisers left for THL and
17963s	the Bal Gorn against the world I think
17965s	an Avage does go down for the tuskers
17967s	the Reps off for tuskers but the damage
17968s	as you said is is is lacking on THL I
17971s	think I don't think they'll be able to
17972s	get through all the fs at you know in
17974s	the match VOD the primary for THL might
17977s	get him down the flag is the Bal gun is
17979s	a flag remember that so he will have
17981s	webs he's have lots of NES so he he will
17983s	be able to get rid of the Reps Omen
17984s	going down for THL good call from from
17986s	the tusco side and critically this is a
17988s	gun bell it's not just this is going to
17990s	have maximum tier you know or remans you
17993s	know you know sorry turrets it's going
17995s	to have that maximum you know meta 17
17998s	damage the Bal Gorn you know is losing
18002s	you know a little bit of support as that
18004s	omen of Jordan goes down this vld Fleet
18007s	typhoon has got a cloud of you know
18009s	heavy B trying to support it but he's
18011s	down as a 3% armor and he's bleeding
18013s	some structure now VI hanging on with a
18016s	threat he needs to hang on for as long
18018s	as possible because if it comes down to
18019s	two battleships against Bon the Bon I
18021s	think he should lose but he'll have much
18023s	better chance into structure trying to
18025s	cool back a bit of shield for HP and a
18027s	bit of armor coming back as well he does
18029s	go down voodo voo is down yeah
18031s	critically though mirie and cartof are
18034s	alive so right now if I'm Flack what I'm
18036s	trying to do is I'm just trying to get
18038s	away get away from verdict and you see
18040s	he's running away on the screen which is
18043s	perfect you have to play for points
18044s	right now if you're tuskers you are up a
18046s	total of 42 points the meus of wex which
18049s	is going to be the Skirmish links has
18052s	been caught by again the Bal Gorn which
18055s	can just web infinitely and we see those
18056s	drones chasing after him the omen of
18059s	verdict putting his guns on top of him
18062s	trying to burn through the remaining
18063s	armor baring St about to go down to the
18065s	Moler it might be just down to Amelia
18067s	dust space I think oh andir and that
18070s	Magus are sitting on top of that Beacon
18072s	at zero the ponts of JJ looks like he
18075s	was trying to spool but I'm not sure if
18077s	he was able to get it off I don't think
18079s	so brain about to go down oh he does
18081s	have the spool effect he's burning down
18083s	there's a cloud of drones and he gets
18084s	away at the last minute before he is
18086s	getting down into lower armor I mean
18088s	amazing plays from him but at the moment
18090s	they still got two to go through for THL
18093s	I don't think they can do it just the
18094s	Bor and a Navy Omen yeah and that's the
18096s	thing they would have to kill I mean
18097s	this Fleet typhoon of Miri just to be
18100s	you know on points ahead again it's a
18102s	30-point differential the M of brain
18104s	star is trying to play for his life cuz
18106s	he's 11 points he's not trying to
18108s	survive to do damage he's trying to
18110s	survive to continue to live Omen of
18112s	verdict is trying to close range but the
18114s	typhoon Fleet issue uh so far is just
18117s	trying to chill on top of the beacon and
18119s	again that hyen sorry not not hyena that
18123s	uh Omen does go down the merer going
18125s	down here as well so it's a total of 41
18129s	points and CR Ally now cartof is not
18132s	enough they have to kill mea Chief or
18134s	they'd have to kill a hyena and a
18135s	pontifex for truth honor like to claw it
18137s	back with only four minutes left do you
18139s	think they can do it I don't know
18141s	there's twoo there's a fleet typhoon and
18142s	a typhoon both really good pilots and
18145s	just Amelia really in the B gun and Navy
18147s	Navy it's going to be a tough one the
18148s	typhoon is MJ ding he's on the beacon
18150s	he's trying to get away from verdict Mia
18152s	duck space initially looked like he's
18154s	getting webbed with the typhoon of
18156s	cardar jumping perfectly away from what
18159s	looks like aelia dust bace trying to use
18161s	the range and saying yes you have 70 km
18163s	webs but I have 100 range you know that
18165s	I can get off these kind of beacons and
18168s	miraie now getting webbed Again by the
18172s	side of uh verdict who's on top of him
18175s	at zero and this Bal Goron is menacingly
18177s	chasing him after him it looks like Jaws
18180s	but again mirie is on the beacon and
18183s	there's no scram Mira can jump away at
18186s	any time he wants and this is the beauty
18188s	of these beacons you can use them at the
18189s	end of the game to try and get around
18191s	once you get the scrams down and Tackle
18192s	you can escape if you want to speaking
18194s	of things that won't Escape Verdi is
18196s	getting hit and it looks like he is
18197s	about to be judged by these cruise
18199s	missiles and with that Amelia Ducks
18202s	space is the lone remaining Survivor
18204s	that massive purple bar is going to be
18206s	two top tier officer reps and tuskers I
18209s	don't know if they can kill it but with
18212s	this the Bal Gorn does not have enough
18214s	time with two minutes left I don't think
18216s	to kill anything so I'm going to say
18218s	we're going to attentively say that we
18219s	might have our new champions for this
18221s	year but I think will they get the balun
18223s	down I don't think so but tuskers I
18225s	think should give it a go I think you
18227s	absolutely have to and we've seen you
18228s	know these double web uh fits and
18231s	sometimes a web and a scram and that's
18233s	part of the fact is that yeah you don't
18234s	get a scram bonus but you need to revent
18236s	people from getting an mjd away from you
18239s	and often these kind of comps that THL
18241s	bring they put webs and that's for the
18243s	simple reason that you need to be able
18245s	to kill tenen deacons right or you need
18247s	to be able to kill other uh frigs like
18250s	the navatos and The Inquisitor that are
18252s	hard to track and again we see another
18254s	micro jump up play as it looks like the
18257s	tyon fleet issue is getting away now and
18260s	he it does he is spooling right now he's
18263s	spooling perfectly away and he is 69 a
18267s	very nice distance away from the center
18269s	of the arena and you know what else is
18271s	going to be nice tusers co they looked
18274s	like they were about to get reverse
18275s	swept they looked like they were about
18277s	to get cleaned out and just broomed out
18280s	but you know what the fleet typhoons the
18283s	cruise Miss end up winning the
18286s	tournament I mean who have thought tyoon
18288s	back again King slay's back absolutely
18290s	fantastic I mean honestly you know THL
18293s	almost reverse we both these teams super
18295s	super season teams not surprised that
18297s	we're seeing here in the finals and a
18299s	fantastic run for tuskers going back
18301s	into losers and going back against speak
18303s	of some seasoning we are seeing some
18304s	very very uh I would say salty and spicy
18307s	chat right now in local understandably I
18310s	mean truth honor light they've been
18311s	playing for you know the better part of
18315s	you know basically with this course six
18316s	seven years um you know some new members
18318s	just like uh nith uh unfortunately uh
18322s	you know losing in this match but again
18324s	even if they killed this Fleet typhoon
18326s	it's down 57 points it wouldn't be
18328s	enough they would have to kill the fleet
18329s	typhoon and a ponx or hyena and so far
18332s	the ships are doing an excellent job of
18334s	just sitting perfectly at a beacon
18336s	saying chilling I'm just chilling you
18338s	web me I'm going to go km the other way
18341s	away from you both these teams though
18343s	getting a lot of ships for the prizes
18344s	and they're going to be going home with
18346s	low trillions of isk in in value so it's
18349s	you know second place first place it's
18351s	first place is for the you know I want
18352s	to go for the win but they're still
18353s	going to go home with loads of prizes
18355s	I'm you know tuskers going down to
18356s	losers keeping the mental and coming
18359s	back and getting the win even though
18360s	they almost got reverse weed is
18362s	absolutely incredible hey I thought that
18364s	the tuskers they might manage to choke
18367s	on some of their own you know their own
18370s	meet here and it looks like they have
18372s	proved us wrong they have said that the
18374s	Cru typhoons and their comp mirie has a
18378s	big big brain the Cru has brought the
18380s	pain and they are going to gain first
18383s	place this year in Alliance tournament
18385s	20 it is official the clock is done they
18388s	win by a total of 57 points and they are
18390s	going to win a total of 40 of these
18393s	Cruisers 40 frigs and 20 ships they are
18396s	going to win 100 prize ships and the
