970s hello everyone and welcome to lobby
973s legends fire festival we've got a
974s weekend of battlegrounds coming up for
976s you guys and i can't wait to get started
978s i'm raven and joining me is our new
981s guest is a battleground streamer and a
984s pro nina welcome uh i hope you are ready
988s for this uh are you good to cast some
989s battlegrounds this weekend uh hi raven
992s i'm super excited this weekend to cast
994s the lovely legends
995s and thank you so much for that
997s introduction i like how you call me a
999s pro and not a noob like your name says
1002s but yeah we have loads of uh returning
1004s players but also we have 10 whole new
1006s players that have never been in a
1009s legends before and i'm really excited to
1011s watch them play
1012s yeah as always we're starting to build
1013s up a bit of a story now as we move on to
1015s our fourth lobby legends of the year and
1018s fourth lobby legends full stop i guess
1020s actually since they only started this
1021s year let's take a look before we dive
1023s into those players and who we're going
1024s to see on stream today let's take a look
1026s at what lobby legends is all about uh 16
1029s of battlegrounds players who have
1030s qualified
1032s initially through ladder and then
1034s through a qualifying sort of mini
1036s tournament beforehand to get to this
1038s point those 16 players will be split
1040s into two eight player lobbies and
1043s they'll be playing three games each that
1045s is what is going to be happening today
1047s and then the top four from each of those
1049s lobbies moves on to tomorrow where we
1051s get to play in a slightly change format
1054s called the check format do you wanna
1055s give us a quick breakdown of what check
1057s is nina of course yes so the players
1060s will be uh playing in their lobbies and
1063s trying to earn points and as soon as one
1067s player gets 20 points or more they get
1070s to check the lobby which means that once
1073s they check the lobby and they'll need to
1075s win one more game in order to win the
1077s whole tournament so
1079s yeah there's only two requirements to
1081s win the uh the whole tournament you need
1083s to get 20 points and then you need to
1085s win another game
1086s yeah and we've seen it across the
1087s previous taunts we've had where we have
1089s had the lightning fast win i believe in
1091s the first lobby legends where it was the
1093s check and then go and it was a win but
1095s then we've seen multiple players put the
1097s lobby in check where suddenly we have
1099s two three you know upwards of players
1100s trying to actually get that win and the
1102s play styles become very very different
1104s indeed and you can check out the points
1106s here it's gonna be seven points for
1107s first place then going all the way down
1109s to zero four eight and as we said for
1112s today we're gonna be playing three games
1114s for each set of eight players that's
1116s gonna be six games total they only have
1118s three games to finish in the top four
1121s total points so really nina these
1124s players are looking for if anything
1126s obviously they're like first place but
1127s just consistently decent finishes right
1130s yes consistency is what will get you to
1133s the finals
1134s um i think especially in the first game
1136s we probably see a lot of people trying
1138s to play safe trying to get a top four
1140s but in the second and third games
1141s especially if players uh didn't have a
1143s very good game and they maybe got
1145s seventh or eighth they'll try to high
1147s roll and get that first place in order
1149s to make it through to the finals yeah i
1152s do like seeing these sort of evolution
1154s of strategies depending on who's where
1156s on the leaderboards i think it's super
1157s fun as we move on throughout the day
1159s just checking out the prize pool there
1161s uh starting at 10k for the first place
1163s and it's getting pretty reasonable at
1165s this point because as we've seen uh
1167s going into lobby legends number four
1169s which is this one that we do have
1171s returning players and sort of as we keep
1173s doing these you know as we move through
1175s one two three and we are seeing players
1177s that just qualify over and over again
1180s and even if those players only make it
1181s to like the pre-qualifiers it's still
1183s impressive and it's suddenly you start
1185s looking at players that are making some
1187s decent cash just through lobby legends
1189s alone regardless of you know their
1191s streaming or doing other things
1192s different tournaments but just lobby
1194s legends the consistency we've seen from
1196s some of these players means that i
1198s assume we're going to see them in lobby
1199s legends five
1200s definitely yeah i'm so excited to be
1202s seeing some of the players return
1204s for example we have dapido who has never
1207s won um lobby legends but he's actually
1211s the highest earner um in throughout all
1214s the tournaments because he managed to
1215s get two uh second places in the second
1218s and third lobby legends so maybe fourth
1221s time's the charm for him
1222s it really could be especially because of
1224s just how well he's been playing but
1226s let's check out who's gonna be in the
1228s first lobby that we have up today the
1230s first eight players of the day and we're
1231s gonna see who's involved so uh for you
1235s nina which names really stick out for
1237s you in lobby a
1238s um i think i might be a little bit
1240s biased for for me it's alucard and olia
1244s simply because i know of them and
1246s alucard is a very active member in the
1248s battlegrounds community so i've been
1250s rooting for him for a little bit but of
1252s course no caster buy is here and then
1255s ollie of course a big streamer from
1257s belgium
1258s and he i think qualified before as well
1261s he got fifth in the third lobby legends
1264s so i'm excited to see him perform and of
1265s course we have our first player from the
1268s united kingdom
1269s element omega and yeah i'm excited to
1272s see him play as well what about you yeah
1274s i'm excited to see what he can do i'm
1276s going to keep my own satellite as well
1277s uh he was in the first lobby legends uh
1280s it didn't manage to get to the second
1282s day and you know get a top placement but
1284s still the ability to
1285s yeah the level of uh played required to
1288s qualify through ladder and then make it
1290s through the pre-qualifiers is very very
1292s impressive but i also want to take a
1294s look at uh butterfly and kid five which
1297s are two of the players from the uh from
1299s china uh that qualified in because i
1301s always think in this situation it's
1303s great to see players you know but i'm
1305s always interested to look at the players
1308s we don't know and see how they perform
1309s because for me personally at least uh uh
1312s like uh uh dappy that we saw in the
1314s previous two i cast these second lobby
1316s legends that uh of the list that he was
1319s in and he impressed me and and i didn't
1322s i didn't really know about him i hadn't
1323s seen him play too much and he played
1325s insane so i'm very excited to see what
1327s some of the players can do that i don't
1329s know about because it's easy to say oh
1331s we know these players we know they're
1332s good but they're yeah always like
1334s looking at the players we know a little
1336s bit less about but just talking while we
1338s get the players ready to get into the
1339s game of course the first game of the day
1342s uh what are the big things you have to
1344s be aware of because we've had a meta
1346s change again since the previous lobby
1348s legends right we have the dartmouth
1350s prizes in we've had some buffs nerf some
1352s new cards so what are the uh big
1354s game-winning things that these players
1356s are going to be looking for
1358s so we've had almost two weeks since our
1360s last big patch which is actually quite a
1362s long time for
1364s a tournament because usually it seems
1366s like we get a big patch and then we get
1367s a big tournament so these players have
1369s actually had almost two weeks to try and
1371s learn the meta and try to uh get uh you
1374s know as good as possible but at the
1377s moment i think um
1379s if max and beast are in i think it's
1381s going to be who gets the first green
1383s spot gets to win the lobby and you know
1386s who gets the most greasebots maybe if
1387s you have like a test in the lobby and
1389s stealing everyone's green spots um
1392s that's going to be the winner for me but
1394s i'm really looking forward to seeing
1395s lobbies without max and beast because
1397s those are like the wackiest ones right
1400s where people
1401s try to high-roll maybe nagas or apm
1404s pirates
1406s and if they don't manage to do that
1407s they'll just try to survive and
1410s that's that's always fun to watch
1412s okay well let's get into game number one
1415s we have the hero choices already the
1417s players locking those choices in
1418s straight away knowing what they wanted
1420s uh but what are you making of this so
1423s far at least just based on hero choice
1425s has anyone had a big loss here is anyone
1428s really ahead any of the key heroes in
1430s the game right now like pyramid one of
1432s my favorites
1434s yes we do have a pyramid in the lobby
1436s actually we have alu card on pyramid and
1438s i'm looking forward to see when he
1439s decides the hero power because there is
1441s some debate on when is the best to do it
1444s um when to greet when to you know try to
1447s play it safe and we also see olia on
1451s mukhla which is a very safe choice
1454s um
1455s a mix in the game
1457s if the megs are in the game then mukela
1459s is a very safe top for choice and now we
1461s have kid five on
1463s [Music]
1464s what is this hero i don't recognize the
1466s portrait i thought it was my effort i
1468s already have a maya f in the lobby
1470s yeah it's not my ev oh my skin knowledge
1473s isn't great good knowledge yeah just
1475s find out we'll find out soon anyway we
1476s can t take a look at kid five oh there
1479s you go tess yeah it's test test yeah
1482s oh yeah so we have a test like i said we
1484s might be seeing that uh
1486s multiple greaseport lobby since you know
1489s tess is really really good in my clubs
1491s at the moment because everyone's trying
1493s to hit greasepot
1494s right yeah and we can see the mexico
1496s available murlocs as well
1498s we're gonna see tipper too which is not
1500s something that i see too often when i
1502s play i feel like most people who go tip
1504s and try and push to make it work just
1506s die too early anyway because they don't
1508s you know that they're floating are gold
1510s right which is a huge thing i think and
1512s up until the point this card came out
1515s all conversations about battlegrounds
1516s turns are based around gold efficiency
1518s right and then you're purposely being
1520s inefficient
1521s with that card so it's very interesting
1523s one and we are going to see uh honin
1526s just get destroyed the little piggies
1528s and not going to market today uh as he's
1530s going to take some damage on the brakan
1532s but not too big of a deal because the
1534s whole point of picking that is to just
1535s get those buffs going a little bit later
1538s it looks like we're going to see our
1539s first three on three uh curve here
1542s hunible probably going to level because
1544s the shop is kind of
1546s sad
1547s meh i think it's
1549s the best word
1551s i don't know it's kind of it's worse
1552s than mad to be honest
1554s that's been too generous yeah you're
1556s being too nice to that to that shop
1559s we already see a butterfly with a triple
1563s i was going to say in complete opposite
1565s fashion to what we were talking about
1566s three on three we just seen a butterfly
1569s stick on one here and then it looks like
1571s he might look at leveling up is there a
1573s point here to look at say uh trying to
1576s like level into level and hold the
1578s freeze on the triple for later on or do
1580s you think there's just a good enough
1581s reason to just accelerate next turn uh
1584s well i don't think he will be leveling
1586s next turn because that's very golden
1588s efficient right we'll be wasting a gold
1590s but we'll have to see what he gets in
1592s his shop
1593s and
1595s problem solved
1597s true um we actually see him play finley
1601s um
1602s rokhara that's an interesting choice i
1604s wonder what his other options were
1607s yeah because i think rocara actually has
1609s more armor than finley to begin with
1612s yeah it's it's kind of interesting right
1614s i imagine his other hero power choices
1616s were simply not great as a description
1619s right because ricara although is fine
1621s it's just not one of the best for me but
1623s we are going to see the prizes kick in
1625s for the first time on stream uh what
1628s kind of
1629s impact
1631s do the prizes make right what are the
1633s biggest differences between a prize
1635s lobby and non-prize lobby and please
1637s don't just say one has prizes in them
1640s well okay you stole my answer but okay
1643s so
1644s i think um
1646s in the prize lobbies you get to see a
1649s lot more crazier boards a lot like more
1652s hyrule people going for that you know
1655s six jobs leveling um hyper leveling and
1658s going to like
1660s tavern five on five
1661s just leveling really quickly and trying
1663s to hit insane boards
1665s and sometimes you can feel like there's
1666s little agency depending on what kind of
1669s prize you hit as well
1671s um
1672s so i think in this lobby with these
1675s heroes uh i think maiev will probably
1678s maiev has already got triple lined up
1680s right
1681s and it looks like maiev is going for a
1683s five
1684s drop
1686s because um
1688s it looks like uh he hear about element
1690s omega hero powered the
1692s sun they can relax at this turn right
1694s which means i think so yeah because you
1696s hear about the vocal hunter last turn so
1698s when it comes to my yeah if someone
1700s actually told me this in chat and i have
1702s been using this to remember
1704s uh if you get your triple if your hero
1706s power your triple on five gold
1708s you get a five drop if you hear power
1710s you triple on six on turn on six gold
1713s then you get a six drop so he hero
1715s powered on five drop which means to be
1717s going for a
1719s five drop
1721s okay already yeah
1722s minutes into game one and nina's
1724s dropping the secret tech for everyone uh
1727s to get you to remember yeah the little
1729s tips that are gonna help out uh just
1731s looking at across the board here
1733s the whole lobby is basically just a few
1736s naga but mainly looking at some murlocs
1738s and some uh and mechs as you well
1740s predicted mac's been a current terror uh
1743s of the game so far uh we can see alucard
1746s here with the pyramid
1749s i imagine that hero power's been pressed
1751s at least once at this point right just
1753s to get the buffs on that mic it looks
1755s like yeah yeah yeah it looks like he is
1757s played that um buff on the micro oh
1760s maybe he could no he didn't get the
1761s bananas because he has the prize in his
1763s hand still so yeah it looks like he used
1765s his hero power on the micro mummy and
1766s he'd probably be using on the yep on the
1769s deflector this is looking really strong
1771s and he has zeros in his hand
1774s yeah deflecto plus uh the two mechs is
1777s and the ability to just buff the health
1779s on that divine shield is just a great
1782s start and i do wonder if he's going to
1784s use that ability to then just start to
1786s power level because he can still keep
1788s adding health every turn for free and
1790s then he can just maybe try and get to
1792s you know those later taventers before
1794s anyone else but again look at this board
1796s from kid5 the tavern tipper bit of a
1798s threat in itself the two put bots as
1800s well i got a couple of pairs on board so
1803s does have the ability to get into a
1806s triple soon as does everyone else by the
1809s way things there's just pairs left right
1812s and center right now yeah like i said
1814s everyone everyone wants the the green
1817s spot and they see them collecting uh
1819s divine shields already
1821s for one they actually get the green
1822s squad so we have alucard with um
1824s deflecto and we have tests with two pop
1827s bots
1828s and it's going to be really easy for a
1830s test to triple because everyone else is
1832s playing pups too
1834s everyone's playing put bots the gold
1836s naga like everything uh we could check
1839s in on can we look at alucard see what is
1842s that there is turned into
1844s uh the pyramid
1846s oh no
1848s not like this
1849s oh it is disappointing but he does have
1852s the micro miami triple in shop
1854s he's thinking about it
1856s oh
1857s i really want to see level here but he
1860s is going to go for the triple okay he's
1862s going for a four drop
1864s yeah he's playing it safe okay
1866s i think alucard had the ability to be
1869s greedy but there are upsides of doing
1871s this right just means you're stronger
1873s now and also again we talk about points
1876s where if you get so strong early enough
1878s that you start to bully people out of
1879s the game well that gets you more points
1881s at the end of the game right that's how
1883s the system works yeah i think he's a
1885s little bit scared to to greet here
1886s because he's already at 27 and he's
1889s trying to maybe uh play it a little bit
1890s safe
1892s uh we have kit five at the triple in the
1895s shop actually you know pogba is the
1897s worst triple you can get
1899s yeah cause you want the multiple divine
1901s shields right yeah it makes you weaker
1903s and it's so expensive as well yeah i
1905s think kid five's in a great spot though
1907s because look how much gold he has in
1909s here he has he's playing tests like he
1911s can do what he wants yeah he tripled
1913s into a four drop as well he tripled into
1915s a peggy
1918s which is interesting as well peggy is
1920s probably the best four drop you can get
1923s um
1924s one of the best four drops for sure
1925s another pop bot
1927s why is this just a triple in the shop
1929s there forever for butterflies
1933s oh my oh wow we should become playing
1937s armcomp already
1940s and we i guess it's a
1942s pizza if we start out yeah beasts are
1945s out so arm comb is very viable when
1947s beasts are out
1949s yeah and i think we would talk about
1950s this yesterday actually right where you
1952s were saying especially if you want to
1953s just save a few places maybe you just
1956s steal an extra one place higher to get
1958s that extra one point then it is viable
1960s to just do this and say okay i'm never
1963s winning but i'm not coming last either
1966s with this con which again i think is a
1967s very very viable indeed and these
1970s mermaids as far as the eye can see
1973s is he going to get it
1974s uh we have a great ball that was the
1976s fastest pick ever i didn't even see the
1978s third option
1980s oh no there were no other options
1982s no no there was only one yeah
1985s you see uther the lightbringer one of
1987s the new cards added in uh i can't
1989s actually like as well because at least
1991s in my experience it's not game breaking
1993s but it's definitely okay to get when
1996s when it's a bonus right not when you're
1998s tripling into your first six drop and
1999s you need something impactful or a build
2002s around of course but i just like that
2003s kind of effect being in the game yeah i
2006s like huffer a lot he gives it it can
2007s give you a lot of tempo when you triple
2009s into it i like i'm never too sad to see
2011s an ufo because there are a lot of uses
2013s to it as well it can give you instant
2015s tempo on your board if you triple into a
2017s six but it can also help you
2019s uh make cards you want to protect bigger
2021s like baron maybe or leroy you know
2024s uh selfless hero things like that yeah
2030s maybe we can check in on uh aos at some
2034s point as well because his board is uh
2037s not looking great it's looking a bit
2039s we're not not terrible but it's a bit of
2040s a mixed bag right now uh for the board
2043s still has the yeah sad isn't it
2045s of
2047s no real direction outside of i don't
2050s want to die right now i think this is
2052s the first board i've seen without the
2053s divine shield on it
2055s yeah uh let me check
2058s i
2058s believe that is true apart from exactly
2061s satellite but yes all the rest are
2063s playing divine shields yep
2066s that's how you win
2068s yeah just get divine shields and win
2070s easy yeah isn't everyone doing it oh
2072s wait they are
2074s but wait if everyone wins who loses
2077s uh i know who i don't know who loses but
2079s i know who wins and it's tests
2083s true i'm not gonna argue with that
2088s hit five here
2090s again
2092s option still has that frozen putbot but
2095s prize time let's have a look
2097s what are you liking
2099s i didn't see the opponent's board let me
2100s have like who did they just fight it was
2102s elise wasn't it
2103s but there was no elise
2105s oh at least
2107s i'm so confused because at least it's
2108s the bartender
2109s all right okay
2112s i'm not sure the previous fight was um
2114s no greaseboard
2116s i mean yeah no greasepot there's a mega
2117s buster though
2118s and then uh dargah's elder which is
2120s quite interesting card
2124s yeah i do like dark k zelda but i think
2126s the buster is just a reasonable enough
2129s backup plan right of
2131s this will do things later if the plan
2133s comes together so why not take it
2135s um orchid five has to do is just face
2138s someone with a good board right exactly
2140s i'm just checking it out now he's facing
2142s the finley isn't he
2145s oh no grease but yeah that's the
2147s strategy on tests usually in the mech
2149s lobbies you stay as healthy as possible
2152s and then you steal all the grease spots
2154s this is huge
2155s he's facing butterfly who has the grease
2157s spot oh
2159s [Music]
2161s oh and here's close scale right yeah
2163s there you go
2165s glow scale
2166s [Laughter]
2168s it's time to feed tess tess is going to
2170s be very happy
2172s i want to see the sell the green spot
2173s from butterfly right now
2176s you know what neither of us are having
2178s it can you imagine
2181s that would be so like if they knew they
2184s were if for example kid five is a kid
2186s five
2188s no uh they are facing finley if
2190s butterfly knew
2191s there
2192s he's about to
2194s you know die and he doesn't want to feed
2196s tess
2198s and he sells his great spot i don't know
2201s is that too mean
2204s uh
2205s i mean as long as you plan to do the
2207s best yourself that's within the rules
2209s right you can do what you want
2211s so we'll find out uh element omega we
2213s did see just before have that efficient
2215s down with some naga again not fantastic
2218s but other can maybe help grab
2220s another placement or two and look at kid
2223s five he's like oh no the grease spot
2226s yeah but he should be happy because he's
2227s getting that greasepot and i don't think
2229s he'd be taking too much damage here
2230s although the hits are a little bit
2232s sketchy oh no no okay it's good yeah
2235s it's no damage i think at the beginning
2238s he was worried that he would take a lot
2240s of damage and maybe it would be a little
2242s bit too late for the grease spot but i
2244s think he's uh actually more than fine
2246s here it's not too late it's not good oh
2248s there it is
2250s oh he's got two of them
2253s oh my he saved his spell and now he has
2255s two of them
2258s and a pop-pop if he wants it this is
2259s beautiful
2262s oh
2263s picks up the glow scale right even if
2264s it's just for this turn
2266s i don't know if he wants to level he
2268s wants to probably will take the ghost
2269s skill yeah it's just worth more right
2271s it's just a whether he keeps it ongoing
2274s we can find out but i think at worst
2276s just spend the three gold or two gold if
2278s he wants to sell and then just get the
2280s divine shield for now actually well
2282s worth it yeah you're right speaking of
2283s the glow scale
2285s using the glow scale you can scale
2288s uh the full reaper without taunting it
2290s with the module oh true that's really
2292s really good yeah
2294s oh there's no shields that's so sad
2298s but i guess he's still there's still a
2299s cap that's protecting um
2303s just the old ass just yeah health is the
2305s best health amount in the game uh
2307s because you don't die uh what one thing
2311s yeah
2312s that's what we want to get to right so
2315s here if you're aos at this point right
2318s he knows he's not getting the big comp
2319s right he knows he isn't doing it but
2321s what are the comps that can make him
2323s survive what is he actually going to try
2326s and build to just not be dead last in
2329s this game
2330s uh he might he's going for seven and
2333s poisons it looks like and divine
2336s and tunnel blaster in order to
2339s deal with all those divine shields i
2340s think that's his only option and he it
2343s looks like he's going for it and he's
2344s not playing the tunnel blaster yet since
2347s there's no danger of him dying
2350s and he just wants to collect those
2351s poisons for
2354s and we now see he's going against
2355s satellite who's currently sat at the top
2356s on mutinous got a lot of stats but again
2359s i think those stats will start to fall
2361s off once they're yeah all the green
2364s spots get going right like those stats
2365s become not unimportant but the the
2368s divine shield minions are hitting you
2370s twice as hard right yeah exactly that's
2372s so nice but you know what's what's nicer
2374s stats and shields yes exactly yeah so
2377s satellite taking a hit there and he's
2380s gonna drop down significantly and again
2382s we look at an element on mega we're
2384s looking at satellite aos now they're all
2386s in that kind of danger zone where they
2388s don't have the best board and they have
2391s low health so really looking to try and
2394s survive alucard again it looked like he
2397s was in a great position much earlier on
2399s in the game because he had those two
2401s mechs almost straight away but just
2403s didn't come together and again it's
2405s another problem when everyone's going
2406s for more or less the same comp well
2409s there's not enough minions to go around
2410s right so someone will probably fall off
2415s yeah i'm interested to see what he goes
2417s for here whether he's going to go for a
2419s six drop
2420s or a five drop i don't even know what
2423s you can find on five to be honest to
2424s save him
2425s but he's at 15 which means
2428s he's in a danger zone
2430s at this point should he just go for a
2432s dark glare or something just to
2434s oh it's too late to go for dark gay uh
2436s darkest elder
2439s yeah because oh you know what i called
2441s it dar glaze as well i thought it was
2443s called dark glaze elder
2446s and you're you're the professional here
2448s battleground so it's full blamer on you
2450s at this point i'm choosing to believe
2452s but yeah well that's a big divine shield
2455s we'll have a big deflector and he's
2457s going for
2458s yep he's going for the sixth drop
2460s and there's no green spot oh we have a
2463s guy
2465s that's what i like so much about utah if
2468s if
2468s your worst pick you just go for it
2470s we can make a big uh module
2474s that's pretty nice
2477s yep we can shuffle that through we just
2479s have to play one minion down which is
2481s not the end of the world and
2484s empty hero power
2485s quick
2486s quick
2487s yep
2488s no i want my positioning correct before
2490s i hear a power thank you but yeah i
2492s think this is again just a really good
2495s way to display what you need to do to
2497s hang on right this was a good very good
2500s turn actually
2501s to try and hang on but you are right
2503s that divine shield going on the faux
2505s reaper he's just murdering the board not
2508s only divine shield but it has wind fury
2511s as well so which means he didn't get a
2512s single reset on his deflectors
2516s absolutely brutal
2518s but our cards could get some okay trades
2521s if these attacks go well he gets to soak
2523s up the youth
2524s i'll go right and they're open okay yeah
2526s you're alive he's still alive
2528s but look at
2529s he doesn't look very happy
2531s and i think you can see there right if
2533s he didn't make exactly that previous
2535s turn as powerful as it was he was dead
2537s yeah
2538s no questions asked so
2540s again well played from alucard there to
2542s try and hang on jumping over to element
2544s omega again going for the naga he got
2546s the first athisa relatively early and
2549s although these aren't really the best
2551s nagas to pop off with again he's made it
2554s work he's on nine health which means
2555s he's likely to die from a loss but uh
2558s this is where things get spicy right you
2560s know where there's multiple players in
2562s in the danger zone and suddenly anyone
2565s can get knocked out once you're in the
2566s danger zone you have to play as strong
2569s as possible every single turn to survive
2573s and oh look at this disgusting board
2581s it's just the glo it's the fact that the
2583s second green spot got picked up with the
2585s glow scale right for kid five in that
2587s same board yes it's just really strong
2590s because then there's the cleave the
2591s potential of wind fury as well if you
2593s get the naga and so on it says super
2596s super very strong very strong
2606s um it does not look good for me because
2608s i'm not going to lie to you it looks
2611s i mean when there's
2613s when there's two minions on board
2615s they're just like four health you know
2617s forward yeah it's like that
2620s they hit okay well i'm probably
2622s stretching even saying they hit hard
2624s okay right but with 10 and 13 attack but
2626s the problem is that it's almost like
2629s you're playing two minions down at this
2630s point right because yeah they give they
2633s give some damage across here with the
2634s gems but they die to like
2636s a sneeze at this point so it's going to
2638s be difficult against as many divine
2640s shields as we're going to see here but
2642s the uh the loser of this fight is going
2644s to be the one of the first players to
2645s get knocked out with this one oh yeah it
2648s does look like it uh and that's why it
2650s was kind of unfortunate that
2652s uh when he
2653s used his oh no
2657s oh it looks like satellite is out
2660s the
2661s wait it's next
2662s enough
2663s no wait oh wait
2666s are you saying there's a chat
2667s it's a tie oh it's a tie
2670s that is huge and now we get to see very
2672s quickly we have our first uh
2675s and i think
2678s yeah i believe that is the case and what
2680s a shock the player on 14 which again
2683s isn't that high is the player who gets
2686s knocked out first the two like you know
2688s three three eight health sticking around
2690s somehow uh and again for those players
2693s it's a huge victory because that's the
2694s difference between zero points and one
2697s point at a minimum right so huge deal
2700s and now oh my treasures are gonna kick
2702s in did you see that pig that was so fast
2705s it was a really weird discover for the
2708s prizes as well because i only saw one
2709s option
2711s yeah supposed to show you three but i
2712s only saw one right
2715s what was that divine shield oh thanks
2717s don't even show me the other two oh and
2719s now we see the
2720s anti-anti-grease bot build from iosp
2724s he's just gone for tunnel blaster divine
2726s shield and poisons
2730s but is that going to be enough to be
2732s double greaseboard player
2735s yeah can't really pick oh wait sorry i
2737s thought there was two mantids on board
2739s yes he could definitely pick that
2741s perfect
2742s i love that i love that prize
2745s it just feel like you get so much free
2747s stuff it's just like
2749s go shopping and have more money
2751s basically
2753s here's my credit card go wild it's
2755s basically what that prize is
2759s this is very nice
2761s uh but i don't know if it's going to be
2762s enough for him to survive because now
2764s that uh oleac is dead we
2767s actually
2768s have no cap to protect the players
2770s anymore
2773s yeah this is very brutal alucard now uh
2777s again has done a good job of building
2779s something out of nothing he is going up
2781s against honembo though and honeybot has
2783s a uh what's this at the moment
2785s 4609 divine shield taunted pup bot
2789s and the grease bar as well so i got a
2791s bit of poison on the back end as well
2793s yeah there we go so we'll see how this
2795s goes this is one of those boards where i
2797s never really know how to call it because
2799s there's a leroy on one side
2801s there's some poison on this side and
2803s then just a huge doggo so it's called
2805s the poison scam i think yeah
2809s uh oh oh rakan squash is nice yeah
2813s straight into the biggest minion
2816s and that is why you don't want just one
2819s big taunted minion because leeroy exists
2822s yeah
2823s poison kick out does get the stuff into
2825s proc on the additional murloc with a
2827s good hit but this is uh not looking like
2829s it's going to be good enough here
2830s there's
2831s plenty of change after this fight this
2834s is a definitive win for alucard but i
2837s don't think it's going to be enough to
2838s knock honeybot out
2840s no just that
2842s the big win that i mean it's just not
2843s surprising i'm shocked i'm absolutely
2846s shocked are you just a casual 36 why not
2849s and makes sense in this lobby though so
2851s we do see element omega with the naga
2853s get defeated uh in that last fight uh
2856s pretty brutal overall
2859s satellite though again with the mutinous
2861s and look at this board
2863s done a great job to even still be in the
2864s game
2865s still fighting for at worst the top you
2867s know five six ish spot looking great but
2870s he's avoided a top eight which
2873s it looked likely to be honest
2874s oh i
2876s yeah
2877s i love watching a satellite play as well
2878s because he's have you noticed the little
2880s shark behind him
2882s oh i've not but i will definitely look
2884s for it soon oh look oh there it is so
2887s once he played the first lovely legends
2888s as well that he had the shark and also
2891s the a little shiva eno plush
2893s and between every game they would switch
2895s positions they'll be like in different
2897s positions
2898s i'll tell you that
2900s will love that because there's a player
2901s in grand masters who did something
2903s similar with their background where they
2905s would add or remove things from their
2906s background for each match and uh and
2908s lauren and tj would have fun guessing at
2911s what's gone missing
2912s so yeah lorinda will greatly appreciate
2914s this and enjoy the the game he can play
2916s as he's there the observer which i don't
2918s think i've mentioned here so um he's the
2920s one controlling what we get to see so
2922s shout out to larinda
2924s great job so far
2926s you see now though satellite again this
2928s is the mode you get into right which is
2930s desperation mode and in that mode
2932s survival leroy looks great mantid looks
2935s great it's like anything to just cheese
2938s the game and steal a win when you
2940s definitely shouldn't have gotten one
2941s i think in these lobbies in mecca
2943s obviously was actually much better than
2944s a mantad yeah yeah great
2948s um
2950s it's very rich
2952s he's got a lot of lots of money in his
2954s hands
2955s yeah because he's at that point now
2957s where it and this is one of the biggest
2959s oh
2960s i had like learning the game is when you
2962s get to this point
2963s knowing how to improve your board right
2966s and how to change your board is very
2967s difficult and i think he's at that point
2969s where he's like well i don't really know
2970s how to make the board better
2975s this looks pretty close to me all
2976s depends on how on these hits
2980s okay
2982s oh no
2984s right it looks like oh no it looks like
2986s um
2988s oh satellite is getting out knocked out
2991s yeah that was a just about but it was
2994s level it got tunnel blasted
2997s yep that's gonna be satellite down but
3000s again i think a sixth place based on
3002s where we saw him earlier in the game
3003s good placement a bit of a recovery get a
3006s couple of points under the belt there
3007s and alucard nina still in alaka's
3013s the second mech was huge a few turns ago
3016s it's really kept him in the game
3018s yeah the uh siphoning the gems off onto
3021s the deflector definitely saved him that
3023s turn but now he's facing the
3027s double double greaseboard player
3030s and alucard also faced him already right
3032s he's faced kid5 already so he knows that
3035s he has a big cleave
3036s so you can see how he positioned his
3038s leroy to play around that cleave
3042s one of these recruits
3045s it doesn't matter which taunt the cliff
3047s goes for
3048s it's going to get killed but
3051s kit 5 also knows that alucard knows that
3054s he has a big cleave
3056s so
3057s many levels yes so he's positioning it
3059s um so he's putting his cliff a little
3061s bit later to get value out of it
3064s it's interesting right because there's
3065s also it's um
3073s reaper to die so he wants the leroy next
3075s to the taunt right to just to get
3077s cleaved and then kill them oh yeah he
3079s definitely
3080s for something else yeah and now he gets
3081s to taunt up the leroy so that's going to
3084s do a good job for him anyway if he wants
3086s these attacks to go in and that looks
3088s good to me and again alucard i think
3090s just making clean plays it might not be
3093s enough but you can always see what he's
3095s going for right he knows his objective
3098s and he's doing his best to get there
3099s definitely
3104s okay i look hard this goes first and he
3106s did it
3108s is that going to be enough though oh
3112s no
3112s no no no no
3114s it doesn't look like enough does it oh
3116s look the um kit 5 has a golden grease
3119s water right now
3120s that's just incense insane scaling
3122s because it scales itself
3126s yeah i think
3128s again don't like calling things early
3130s but i think this is a great effort by
3131s alucard but the numbers just look too
3134s big yeah still a divine shield i mean
3136s this is divine shield on both deflectors
3138s now oh okay
3140s in a lobby where
3142s everyone's going for the same thing a
3144s late game test is unbeatable
3147s yeah
3148s you just have more
3152s really well played there though from
3154s alucard it looks like a hunting bow
3156s actually got knocked out as well uh
3158s let's just triple check to make sure
3160s everything's good to go yeah so uh
3162s alucard getting a joint fourth fifth
3164s with honing bow there which i i think is
3166s a great result honestly definitely yeah
3169s you want to hear something disgusting
3172s uh is it okay to stay on broadcast
3174s because if so if not no i think so no
3176s but uh
3178s tess uh dealt huge damage to our card
3180s and now tess is facing the ghost
3183s which is hanimbo and guess what hanimbo
3185s has
3187s oh it's going to be grease but you're
3188s going to say yes yeah okay
3191s yeah i'm not surprised i can sense a
3193s theme throughout the day yeah we're
3194s going to be talking about greasebot a
3195s lot as long as mechs are in the lobby
3197s but i always pay just has a million gold
3200s in hand
3202s but again as i was sort of uh touched on
3204s earlier
3206s no i don't know whether he doesn't know
3208s how to spend it whether he doesn't know
3210s how he wants to or could improve this
3212s board and it looks like he's making a
3214s space now so he can cycle through so
3216s that's just a best part of 40 seconds
3218s left but
3219s i understand this position where it's
3221s like well i've got my poison i've got my
3222s divine shield proc i've got the tunnel
3225s blaster
3226s what do i add i get that's difficult but
3228s i do think if he ends the game with a
3230s million gold in hand something's gone
3232s wrong yeah
3233s the thing is i think he was trying to
3235s find replacements for the stuff on his
3237s board before he sells
3239s before he sells something because
3240s everything on his board is pretty useful
3242s right right
3243s so he was trying to find a replacement
3245s before he sells out but he doesn't seem
3247s like he managed to do it
3249s there's that module that looks quite
3250s interesting to me
3255s because he's amalgam his amalgam is
3257s taunted
3259s and
3260s if the opponent go
3266s and we have another greasepot player
3268s graceful double mackerel and a giant
3271s cleave oh the divine shields just never
3274s end
3277s and the worst part is look how strong
3278s this is when you realize
3280s that aos had as much counter tech as he
3284s possibly could and it just did not
3286s matter in any way shape or form so
3290s really really big hit there for
3291s butterfly knocking out awes and it's
3293s gonna come down to kid five versus
3295s butterfly here both players have the big
3297s mechs but again i think kids fives are
3300s just bigger
3301s i mean one has three uh four greaseports
3304s another one has one green spot
3306s so
3308s i don't know i think the map
3310s the map just you know
3312s just tells you oh
3314s okay
3315s interesting prize turns though 10 10
3317s divine shield win fury that's just an
3319s extra divine shield if butterfly wants
3322s it a big winner i'll be honest i uh
3326s new prize from every prize turn right
3329s but did i feel the wind fury is kind of
3331s interesting here because you don't
3332s really want to
3334s give wind fury to your mackerel
3335s everything else has divine shield
3336s already i guess
3338s the mega buster doesn't
3340s but you kind of want the mega buster to
3342s die to give you a reset
3344s okay oh there's the ice block
3348s icebox a really interesting choice
3351s because in a heads-up sort of moment
3353s yeah
3354s well if you lose once does the ice block
3357s change anything versus say discovering
3359s another six drop or something right um
3363s and some of the other options so i'm a
3365s little bit more skeptical about the ice
3368s block because i feel like if your
3369s opponents test
3371s yeah and they win the fight which you i
3373s think butterflies expect them to they're
3376s only gonna be better right it's not
3378s really gonna get any worse so i feel
3380s like it's i feel like butterfly is just
3382s trying to buy time here i feel like he's
3384s in delaying the inevitable
3387s and just feeding the test more i mean
3389s tess is having a great game right like
3390s tess is the
3391s best of um
3393s kid 5 is having the time of his life oh
3395s yeah if there's a way you want to start
3397s the first three games it's by doing this
3400s uh arguably right like the most powerful
3402s comp in the game right now
3405s rolling straight into it and being tess
3409s just is ticking all the boxes and i
3410s think this is a very very good start for
3413s kit 5 as it's looking like he's going to
3415s be banking a lot of points this game
3419s oh
3419s oh
3421s oh we don't get a reset
3426s yeah the cheeky air golem there for the
3428s reset was a good idea
3433s yeah is this
3436s this definitely looks like a test one to
3438s me
3438s but
3439s even if tess
3441s even if kid five beats butterfly they
3443s have to go again don't they yeah yeah
3446s this was kind of my point with the ice
3447s block right i don't know how much
3449s knowledge
3451s uh of the exact comp butterfly had on
3454s kid five but
3456s what does one extra turn do here is my
3459s question i guess it's better than not
3461s having an extra turn but there were
3462s other prizes that maybe could have done
3465s something but in all honesty i think
3467s this is just a butterfly just trying to
3469s find
3470s more time as you as you said right uh
3472s trying to find that one extra turn see
3473s if anything really pops out but at this
3476s point i think if you're butterfly you
3478s should be very happy with the second
3479s place i think butterfly also lost a flip
3482s there because if he went first and
3484s killed his um killed kid fives big
3488s mackerel then maybe he would have had a
3490s chance because he has a big cleave too
3492s and two mackerels
3493s whereas i think tess only has one
3495s mackerel
3497s kid five
3499s uh
3503s it is big though
3505s yes but it doesn't matter how big it is
3507s against leroy
3509s true
3511s so yes i think
3512s butterfly just needed to go first there
3514s to win the fight but he lost the flip
3521s i think he's going to try to taunt
3522s something else he's got the module in
3524s his hand and he's trying is going to try
3526s to divert the attention from his
3529s mackerel
3531s yeah that makes sense gonna pick the pop
3532s bot yeah it looks reasonable it's an
3534s extra divine shield from the glow scale
3536s and i imagine he's gonna replay the
3538s golem
3540s now that he's got an extra taunt yep
3542s golem is an extra reset
3546s nice to
3548s shield it oh i guess it's against the um
3551s the big cleave
3552s oh we see butterfly actually playing um
3557s uh tunnel blaster
3559s okay that's interesting again to be fair
3563s like he has to do something right like
3565s he's got to try something to sort of
3567s break this match up uh so we'll see how
3569s it pays off toner blaster going to go
3571s off kill a mackerel straight away which
3573s is not
3575s he was really looking for but something
3576s that's gonna happen based on the
3578s placements from kid five
3580s plus a flip again
3583s i think this is the end
3587s um i mean it just numbers at this point
3590s it doesn't look good no no no nothing
3592s side yet literally nothing's died yet
3595s not a single thing has died
3597s oh there we go one thing died
3599s oh the golem comes back oh wait yeah the
3601s pop-pops died okay fair enough you win
3603s this round but yeah it's gonna be a win
3605s there for kid five got to be happy with
3607s that game because it was one that you
3609s know i'm not saying he didn't have to
3611s try but it felt very smooth right he got
3614s the early green spot he was test so he
3616s could steal everyone else's mechs
3618s obviously he's looking for as well and
3620s he very comfortably ended the game for
3622s that extra point in that first place
3625s finish and i think he's just ran off to
3626s do a victory lap or something which is
3628s so you want to win a game that's fine um
3631s but really crazy game one we saw uh
3634s something i think we will see throughout
3635s the weekend when mechs are involved
3637s where mechs do feel like the central
3639s minion type right now if they're in any
3642s given game right definitely max and
3644s beast um
3646s really define the mid game in in any
3648s game and also if mechs are in i think
3650s tess is probably one of the strongest
3652s heroes you can pick because everyone's
3654s going for the same build you just need
3656s to stay healthy and
3657s you know wait until you can steal a few
3659s grease spots here and there and this is
3662s what uh
3663s kid five did here with uh great success
3666s yeah there's still a chance though uh
3668s that that lobby itself or that game
3670s uh will not be representing what we see
3672s throughout the rest of the day because
3674s when uh me and saul cast the second one
3677s i think we saw something like five games
3678s in a row just without beasts or
3680s something in them we just never saw a
3682s beast there minion type for ages so you
3685s never know that might be the first and
3686s last time we've seen mechs for a while
3688s but we'll have to say but yeah just
3690s looking at this
3691s from
3692s some of the players did very very well i
3694s think alucard did really well especially
3697s look at where he is from this point and
3699s he ended what fourth fifth and looked
3701s absolutely great uh but yeah a lot of
3703s focus does just have to be on k5 for
3706s just how cleanly the game went for him
3708s right
3709s yeah he had a very very nice game and
3712s now i think the next two games he's just
3715s probably going to play it safe and try
3716s to get top four to make into the final
3718s four whereas players who didn't do so
3720s well like olia and
3722s element omega are probably going to try
3724s to high roll next two games to make up
3727s for this uh bad game
3729s yeah and there's a couple of ways to do
3730s that right whether it's through a
3732s specific hero choice or whether it's
3735s through how you actually approach the
3737s game turn by turn right because
3739s sometimes you generally pick if you just
3741s want a top four but they do have that
3744s sort of it either wins or it loses kind
3746s of approach to certain heroes at the
3748s moment
3750s yeah i am very excited to see that and
3752s again it's something i really enjoy
3754s about the way this format works is even
3756s within day one even within these three
3758s games per lobby we have there's a mini
3761s meta that develops in itself uh based on
3764s where the players are so a pretty cool
3766s way to start the day and i think this is
3768s a good setup for what to keep an eye on
3771s for the rest of the tournament we've
3772s seen the raw power of greasebot and i
3775s think this just reminds me of a while
3777s ago when i was casting the second one if
3779s you replace the word greasebot with
3781s nicer um yeah we it has the same feel
3785s right now
3786s but i will say it feels like there are a
3788s few or like other ways to deal with this
3792s kind of push than there were with naga
3794s which were very very strong indeed but
3796s that's the standings on the leaderboard
3798s right now after game number one uh
3802s yeah it's looking good i will ask you a
3803s question though if you're in this
3804s position
3805s if you were one of the top three players
3808s right so aos above
3810s would you really just be fully focused
3813s on sort of getting those fourth and at
3816s worst fifth placements or would you
3818s even after game one still be going for
3820s like i'm gonna just play to just win the
3823s next lobby and then feel very secure
3825s going into game three if i were a
3826s butterfly or else
3828s uh yeah or kid five i guess
3831s uh definitely i'll be trying to go for
3833s top four i want to go for the safe play
3836s because this is semi-finals right it's
3837s not the finals it doesn't matter how
3839s many points you get you as long as you
3841s make it into the finals then tomorrow
3844s you know is the day when you go hard try
3845s hard try to high roll try to get as many
3847s points as possible but today play it
3849s safe you know
3851s play a daryl mclaren whatever just try
3853s to make it into the next day
3856s it's something we've seen right and
3857s hopefully we will get to see but we are
3859s gonna go to a very quick break while we
3861s get the players set up for game number
3863s two so don't go anywhere and be right
3864s back with some more lobby legends see
3866s you later
3872s [Music]
3884s [Music]
3890s [Music]
3924s so
3928s [Music]
4061s [Music]
4066s welcome back everyone to lobby legends
4068s fire festival we are getting ready to go
4070s into game number two in game one we did
4073s see at the max dominate which will
4076s probably be the case going forward if
4078s mechs are in but mechs don't have to be
4080s in there same with prizes as well right
4082s now there's i think right now there's a
4084s lot of variance in what kind of lobby
4086s you get into with all the different
4088s minion types and the ability to get
4091s the prizes or not
4092s yes definitely i am looking forward to
4094s seeing some necklace lobbies and see
4096s what the players come up with
4098s because i think in every mech lobby
4100s we're going to see pretty much the same
4102s build at the end
4103s yeah if they can get hold of the grease
4105s spots that's going to be the big one and
4107s we will have to see but already we've
4109s seen of course after game number one it
4112s means one players they're sitting at the
4113s top there kid five with those seven
4116s points but there are a lot of players at
4118s the bottom there that need a good result
4121s because i think going into game two
4123s whilst it's always possible for crazy
4125s things to happen in the last game with
4127s points if there's certain placements
4129s happen with certain players i think
4130s going into game two now the players in
4132s the bottom will know the work they have
4134s to put in right they know they have to
4136s at least get a few points to give them
4138s just any reasonable chance at finishing
4141s that top four but we have seen previous
4143s lobbies where players are actually
4145s there's like there's a clay like winner
4148s or two a clear bottom place or two but
4150s then the middle is squished together
4152s which suddenly a single point above your
4154s opponent can actually just get you top
4156s four instead of someone else right so
4159s very very interesting stuff we'll see
4160s how it looks after game number two but
4162s we are about to dive right in talk to me
4164s about some of these heroes nina
4166s okay so we see alucard uh having to
4169s choose between gala crown recaro scabs
4172s and gravel and of course scabs is our
4174s another hero that can steal your
4176s opponent's minions um
4178s and makes her in again yeah alucard
4181s decides to go for rocara definitely one
4183s of the safer options
4185s and recaro is actually really great with
4187s mexican as well especially if you get
4188s early pop bot and there it is there it
4190s is there's the pub pod
4195s yeah it's it's looking pretty good we do
4197s see a aoe spawn afk
4200s how is afk right now and nina at this
4203s point because afk's definitely had its
4205s ups and downs in being strong or not in
4208s certain matters but there how's she
4209s looking right now
4210s i think ifk um depends a lot on the
4214s minion types that are in the game so we
4217s see that quillboards and megs are in a
4218s game and they have the best tier three
4221s minions we have deflecto we have a
4224s sensei menace for max and pretty much
4227s every single tier three quillboard is
4229s really really good right so i like the
4231s afk pick here
4233s okay we do see that the uh finley is
4235s actually a omu hero power from olyak as
4238s well so again
4239s omu one that's been kind of kind of
4241s consistently strong just being able to
4243s get that extra gold and we've got a good
4245s actual mix of heroes and some pretty
4247s crazy potential plans going forward but
4250s oliac again with the pig
4252s looking like he might want to uh do some
4253s power leveling there
4255s oh we have kid five on my f actually a
4258s hyrule hero this is a prizes lobby isn't
4261s it yeah
4262s yep and we have like if i may have
4264s another hyrule hero maybe he's trying to
4265s get for a double win here
4268s yeah i mean that would be huge we've
4270s seen it i think before where you know
4272s not necessarily a first place first
4273s place but like first and third or first
4276s and second and then
4278s you're almost i think you almost are
4280s just locked in then even as long as
4282s nothing too crazy happens going into
4284s game three so if kid five does it again
4287s uh we'll we're almost certainly looking
4288s at a player who's making it to tomorrow
4290s if kid five does the game the third game
4292s he can do whatever he wants he can he
4294s can meme he can uh concede he can play
4297s leapers he can do it literally anything
4300s hey lupus is the best thing to do in any
4302s situation okay
4304s is the best comp but let's look at these
4305s afk discovers these are going to be huge
4308s oh
4310s by the sounds of it nina does not think
4312s these are huge
4314s these are kind of like
4315s like a deflating balloon you know
4318s oh it's important deflecto but
4323s there's no sensei to buff it and there's
4324s no double deflector there's no menace to
4326s go with it
4328s i'm kind of sad it's good to get some
4330s minions in play at least at this point
4333s for this one turn even though it's not
4335s great it always just has decent stats
4338s right he's got decent static minions the
4340s divine shield's going to be nice with
4341s those gems so at least he will be able
4344s to fight the next turn also whilst
4347s catching up on levels or whatever he
4348s wants to do so at least it's something
4350s but as you can probably tell i'm
4352s definitely a look on the bright side of
4353s things
4354s and not just these discovers suck
4357s yeah one of us has to be that
4360s yeah you have very
4361s did a great job of replacing subtle in
4363s my life right now
4366s i'm just a realist
4369s and i i hoped for better i hoped for
4371s better for my fk
4373s this wasn't to be
4375s okay fighting the mix in there maybe
4377s losing actually to the eudora
4380s again eudora a hero that
4383s can definitely a sink or swim depending
4385s on the outcomes of those hero powers
4387s yeah if you're interested to see what
4389s kind of curvy door goes for and what her
4391s golden minion oh
4393s it's going to be
4396s i've seen butterfly here on gelwing as
4398s well uh another uh hero that's had very
4402s different ways to play it depending on
4404s matters uh on you know do when do you go
4407s for level do you just discover every
4409s single time now at this point i know
4411s that's something players were discussing
4413s a little bit of a while ago
4414s is it just discover every time just for
4416s more stuff more money and so on
4419s um with gail wing usually you want to go
4421s three and three and utilize uh his hero
4423s power back to the max of your ability
4426s but
4426s uh during the body meta actually there
4428s was another curve that um
4431s a player from italy came up with dummy
4433s demo and then that one i think it was
4437s hero power the second option second
4438s option and then you go for the leveling
4440s one which allows you to go to tier five
4442s pretty quickly or tier six i don't
4444s remember exactly but that curve is now
4446s gone i think pretty now we just go for
4448s the discover every time right
4452s here is oh well this is an element omega
4455s didn't have the best game in game number
4457s one and now we're going to be on the
4459s yashiraj
4460s going pretty wide on the board and gonna
4462s be able to push
4463s okay damage but i think most importantly
4465s just a solid base to even considering
4468s starting pushing those levels out
4470s yeah yeshua is actually one of those
4472s heroes where you're trying to high roll
4474s as well and utilize your hero power
4477s in order to hyper level and we have i
4479s look i look hard with two triples
4482s available to him this is the problem i
4485s have when i'm in this kind of situation
4487s i'm like okay these are too many choices
4489s now i don't know what to do so i'll just
4492s lose it's normally what happens to me
4495s i mean there's only one option you just
4496s go for the triples
4499s yeah but in what order when do you go
4500s for them how much do you level it's too
4503s many things to think about if there was
4505s one triple i could condense it down a
4506s little bit more but with two
4508s you could decide to go for for one five
4510s drop and one sixth drop depending on how
4512s the fights go because he's still scaling
4514s with his tavern tipper
4517s hey that is true actually and his hero
4519s power as well yeah divine shield on the
4521s bot has started to stack up with the
4522s rakara hero power the tip is fine i
4525s think alucard would be very happy with
4528s draws in the next few fights right just
4530s as long as he just doesn't take damage
4532s it doesn't really care about winning
4534s although it's a nice bonus but really
4536s all alucard wants with this board is
4537s just some time to really get there
4539s because we've seen already today the
4542s impact a good triple into six can make
4545s into a game exactly
4547s greasepot you mean a great spot that's
4550s the only six drop right yes
4553s okay
4554s i mean it's hard to disagree based on
4556s game one
4558s not only don't kiss uther
4560s he manages to get a draw which is very
4562s good news for him and for uh maiev as
4565s well kid five
4567s the battle is really raging out there
4570s you're gonna go fast
4572s freeze again i like it
4574s i think he might decide to go for two
4576s six drops you know
4578s i mean he's got all the health in the
4579s world right if there's something alucard
4581s has right now it's time uh he's still
4584s buffing the tipper which is gonna help a
4586s lot because with that one gold there's
4587s nothing else he was really gonna do
4589s unless he wanted to sell sell buy that
4591s term but i like the greed honestly he's
4593s taking taken
4594s damage i like that why not yeah alucard
4596s is a very greedy player from what i know
4599s he always uh you see him
4601s sometimes i play against him on ladder
4603s back when i used to play on the na
4606s server
4607s and it's always like he's losing he's
4609s losing and then he's not very scary and
4611s then you face him one turn and he's got
4614s an insane board like how did you even
4616s get that
4617s yeah you you beat him you beat him you
4618s beat him and then he deals 50 damage and
4620s you're like what's just happened i think
4622s it's actually impossible to deal 50
4624s damage i think the maximum it's not for
4626s alucard 48
4630s he gets that two extra damage out
4632s somewhere
4633s slips bob some gold in here makes it
4635s happen
4637s here though for aosp
4639s i would say looks like he's recovered
4641s from the tough discover right uh it did
4643s uh he's ended up getting out of the
4644s taragosa which was expected but now
4647s double deflector with them with the
4649s death thralls too
4651s it's very nice
4653s but it would be nice to have some
4654s scaling
4656s yeah you can turn this around
4659s not bad as well to have the taunt right
4660s just to sort of ensure the deflector
4662s will almost ensure the deflector gets to
4664s go uh
4666s regain the divine shield yeah the
4667s positioning here is very interesting
4669s because a lot of players will probably
4670s try to greed and position deflecto
4673s second instead of third but with so few
4675s minions on the board it's really hard to
4677s get maximum value from your um
4680s uh resets but
4682s iops managed to do it with his
4684s positioning
4686s oh wow that's 15 on to eudora from
4689s olliak on findlay again uh olly eck is
4692s playing the omu hero power oh oh oh here
4695s we go
4697s oh
4700s it feels good and bad at the same time i
4703s think satellite very much wanted
4705s something that was playable
4708s unfortunate
4709s is cool golden zerus could be a golden
4712s green spot there you go see he just
4714s needs to not take 26 which is guaranteed
4718s because the shield's still up oh
4721s that is probably the worst option you
4723s could have gotten because he he wants to
4725s discover his six drop this turn
4727s have faith it's the best option yeah
4730s just needs time to become the best it
4732s needs a zerus training montage to happen
4735s and then he will become the best card i
4737s think no matter what it turns into next
4739s turn he will have to take it
4741s but place your bets what do you think
4742s it's going to be another zerus no i i
4746s think
4748s me let me what would be the most
4750s annoying thing it could be
4754s three spot
4756s oh the most annoying thing yeah it's
4758s elemental public no sentimental is good
4761s because at least it gives you gold
4763s right yeah but all that work for some
4766s extra gold
4768s i think bubblet would be the worst
4770s okay yeah oh you know what okay
4772s i can get on board with that or oh wait
4775s a b-stern and i was going to say the uh
4778s silverback patriarchy
4782s sometimes you need a taunt okay does the
4784s job
4786s i'm going to say it's going to turn into
4791s ah
4794s oh i don't know i don't think that's a
4796s card
4799s a golden uh pumbaa
4802s okay
4803s is also not great no no no no we are
4806s seeing the deflectors getting work done
4808s though divine shields coming back and
4810s also the two uh dragons getting worked
4812s as well with those extra stats it's
4814s looking pretty good turnaround honestly
4816s for
4818s double deflector and double dragon it
4823s it's not
4824s that's fine
4826s you could buy the bunker
4828s easy
4830s bunker looks interesting
4834s just want a massive
4836s blaster i don't want something useful
4837s there's a triple actually in the shop
4843s i don't know if you'll take it oh can we
4845s go back to um to uh
4847s satellite
4849s i want to see what he does
4851s oh we saw someone with a green spot was
4852s it a little card with the greaseport i
4853s think it was
4855s uh let me have a look
4857s i can look while we're seeing what's
4858s going on here
4860s uh
4861s we have a mega buster oh not bad
4865s guess who's got a grease spot
4867s uh kid five oh not kid five no
4872s oh we have a full rebounder okay foreign
4875s pretty good it's pretty good yeah this
4877s is looking promising
4879s luther again go triple
4882s oh wait sorry the gold one we're talking
4883s yeah
4884s triple again make the ooh for 15 15.
4889s um
4891s this is weird because i don't know what
4893s he wants to buff here he might just not
4896s just hold just hold yeah yeah i think
4898s with the 30 34 reaper
4901s oh it's 30 30 the golden one yeah he he
4904s is on 11 health which is very scary but
4907s i think if he plays this oh he's just
4910s trying to survive
4911s yeah because there's no cap for him and
4914s okay
4915s and kid five already has a great spot
4919s yup a good battle friend i think he's
4922s probably
4923s uh yeah alucard has one kid five has one
4925s oh my there's four divine shields
4928s already
4930s that's a big faux reaper though
4932s yeah i think uh kid five a satellite is
4935s definitely fine this turn
4936s but the problem for him is that he
4938s doesn't have any scaling whereas
4940s from for
4942s kid five he's scaling every single turn
4945s right he's gonna take
4947s he's gonna take a lot of damage billion
4948s dollars one billion damage well fifteen
4951s fifteen yes that's a billion right now
4954s yeah
4957s so what basically everyone in the lobby
4960s apart from kid five wants to happen now
4963s is that kid five just doesn't scale fast
4966s enough and just gets like smacked two
4968s more times right and it's not gonna
4970s happen very quickly knocked out it's
4972s definitely not gonna happen but it's
4973s what they want to happen yeah definitely
4975s yeah
4976s but uh
4978s there is he there's still a cap and he's
4980s at 16 so there's no danger of him
4982s getting knocked out at all
4985s oh that gem spitzer looks interesting to
4987s me
4988s what do you think of it
4990s i think at this point it feels like it's
4993s worth picking up because
4995s it it's just better than a couple of
4998s murlocs
4999s for me but i guess uh kid5 disagrees
5002s wants to uh keep on rolling they're
5004s probably running for more divine shields
5006s but i thought the gem splitter was just
5008s worth the money when it's offered that
5010s early but i think he was rolling for
5012s this triple to trying to get another
5014s green spot yeah
5017s maybe i'm too much of a oh well this is
5019s okay you know kind of player as opposed
5021s to saying no i want something that's the
5023s best i just think well this gem split is
5025s just guaranteed work he's just going to
5028s get the job done but i know i know what
5030s you mean yeah i did that too
5032s but uh i have this good advice from one
5035s of the
5036s really good players on na sleepy
5038s um he's made into the first he qualified
5041s for the first love of legends
5043s by being top 16.
5045s um do you want to hear the advice
5047s yeah and i know that chat wants to hear
5048s the advice we've already had yeah it's
5050s really good
5051s really really good advice it's going to
5053s like help you climb so much
5055s it's
5056s buy good cards not bad cards
5058s have a good battle friend i never
5060s thought about that
5062s right what i've been doing wrong
5064s right it's going to change your whole
5066s world
5067s i mean it just makes sense if you really
5068s sit and think about it focus exactly
5070s yeah i can't argue with it sheer logic
5072s wins yet again
5076s you know hunting bow does need to hold
5078s on even a
5080s light breeze is going to knock him out
5082s of this game very did have 3.5 points
5086s which isn't a terrible way to start but
5089s it is if you get an a
5091s oh no
5093s and that's looking like an a uh it's
5096s getting knocked out by guess what a
5099s great spot player
5100s yeah and getting knocked out alone as
5103s well oh no no
5106s okay
5107s 0.5 point gain here for those two
5110s players
5111s if we do
5115s it's a big deal for whichever one of
5117s those two players felt like eighth the
5119s most
5120s it's a it's a very big deal you see
5122s element here doing again
5124s i can build menagerie it's not it's not
5126s greasepot i love it
5131s oh he has a
5133s he has a bran as well i wonder if he's
5135s going to hold this marathon to try to
5137s steal um
5138s stuff from eudora
5141s but probably not i think
5142s element is probably going to try to be
5145s as strong as possible because he is at
5147s eighth health
5148s yeah satellite is currently running the
5150s max without a green spot does have that
5152s big uh faux reaper uh does have a uh
5156s omega buster as well as options for
5158s steel with the mirrors on
5161s there nothing
5163s mind-blowing for exactly this car
5166s oh
5177s we also see a cookie in his hand do you
5180s know what the
5182s response
5184s do you know about the interaction
5185s between um
5186s cookie and necrolyte
5189s i'm gonna pretend i do
5191s you should explain it for the audience
5193s you can get it
5194s well it's really nice of you to uh you
5196s know
5197s let audience learn
5199s but basically um
5201s if you
5203s put gems on a minion and then you use
5206s cookie the cookie cannons to swap the
5209s studs around
5211s and then you steal
5212s the gems of that minion onto another one
5215s using necrolyte
5217s the first minion will stay the same the
5219s stats will stay
5221s like yeah i actually did know that okay
5223s yeah i honestly did i just never got it
5225s but yeah it holds the stats right
5227s because that's basically being altered
5229s by the other minion and not the gems at
5232s that point oh yeah yeah pretty
5234s interesting and powerful very
5235s interesting interaction yeah
5237s wait are we gonna see a gray spot fall
5240s we might do
5242s one of those rare moments
5244s yeah
5245s that is
5246s [Music]
5248s and
5249s you dora satellite is getting knocked
5253s out but i think because he got his great
5255s spot too late
5257s yeah because he tripled remember he got
5259s golden zarus and then golden uffa
5263s and then i think he just got his
5264s greasepot this turn which was a little
5266s bit too late unfortunately
5268s yeah really really rough there for
5270s satellite as well like for satellite and
5272s uh hunembo like they were on the lower
5274s end of the point gains from game one and
5276s now in game two they're in the same
5278s position and they're gonna have to pull
5280s out a bit of a miracle in the next game
5282s to try and help them out here whereas
5284s for the rest of the players it's feeling
5286s almost like the strong gets stronger
5288s apart from element omega who could
5291s really do with what minimum top two here
5294s and oleac as well i think here was the
5296s eighth last game so i'm interested to
5297s see i'm sorry yeah i just didn't even
5299s see ollie at yeah he said 39. yeah
5301s completely right
5302s oh
5304s these aren't great spots
5310s this is a charlie pumbaa board
5313s with some poison thrown in
5316s yeah this is just stuff
5318s oh yeah literally
5320s just grab some stuff that does stuff
5323s but again with the amount of health he
5325s has as long as he doesn't get
5327s completely blitzed in like the next game
5330s the next fight or so he can
5332s probably feel confident to like try and
5334s outlast a couple of players
5337s and just maybe just go for that sort of
5338s top three because i don't think this is
5340s going to be a winning build no it could
5342s be a top three if he manages to just
5344s hang on he does have like best part 40
5346s health right now
5348s he is against the golden argent player
5350s though
5354s and he has a pretty much one he has one
5356s big minion that has a leroy and the
5357s mounted
5359s oh
5360s i believe and no clue he has no taunts
5363s so that faux reaper is going to
5366s have a field day i think how we killed
5369s the poison okay oh okay
5373s that's the shield off as well with the
5374s little block that's not terrible yeah
5377s it's pretty good toe's big deflector is
5379s huge deflector is saving him for sure he
5382s can actually tie here
5385s i can still tie go a little bit right
5388s now
5389s oh and they went a lot right yeah that
5391s was perfect
5393s more health saved for all yeah
5395s again don't think he has that winning
5397s comp but oh
5398s oh no kid five got knocked out yeah he
5401s oh the keeper of greece spots himself
5404s actually went out as a fifth another
5406s greensport player gets knocked out
5409s are we actually going to see a
5411s non-greaseport win
5413s i'm just checking now butterfly yeah it
5415s doesn't have grease bar oliak doesn't ah
5418s lucard has them
5421s and element omega
5424s does not yes so just a card there's
5426s always one who ruins it
5429s and look at the stats suddenly stacking
5430s up here like
5432s they're starting to get there it's a
5433s little bit late but maybe because no one
5436s else alive in the game has popped off
5438s either and it's still early enough right
5442s i mean he has a mackerel and he has a
5444s giant pop-up did you see how big that
5446s bot was
5448s from alucard yeah it was 60 30 wasn't it
5451s it was huge yeah
5457s that's a gold element omega sold his
5459s brand in order to be as strong as
5460s possible and beat his previous opponent
5463s but now he's not going to get as much
5465s value from his
5467s thorn caller
5471s but it's always you have to play the
5472s balance between greed and survival don't
5475s you and i think he made the right choice
5477s for sure and i was going to ask as well
5479s not well maybe this turn depend on this
5481s discover but
5484s is this the kind of scenario where you
5486s stop pressing the hero power as yashiraj
5488s and try and just make the most sort of
5490s consistent full board
5492s i don't um i don't really oh there's a
5494s brand there's no yeah he decides not to
5496s press the hero power yeah because what
5499s else can you really get from five except
5501s leroy that would be useful exactly
5503s and that's the tricky thing right i
5504s think it's uh tough to just know the
5507s exact moment you're supposed to stop
5508s using it and actually start building up
5510s a board especially if it's the scaling
5512s board right if you keep pressing that
5514s hero power well that's not really going
5516s to be involved in that scaling process
5518s so i do like the uh change here into the
5521s double forward
5522s oh we have a double leroy player
5527s i don't that's don't look like this no
5530s no it doesn't look like enough to me ah
5532s no no
5536s oh the stats actually managed to win
5537s this game the uh this this turn from
5540s butterfly because we have no we have no
5543s poison because there's no more locks the
5545s only poison is mounted
5548s this is huge as well butterfly with
5550s second place game one
5552s and now at worst he's going to be third
5556s which is an additional five points this
5558s is a great run so far for butterfly kind
5560s of like even though he was never really
5562s going to get first in the game one just
5564s quietly getting there again right and
5566s this is exactly what you want to see and
5568s oliac as well he's managed to turn his
5571s um he didn't let the first game face him
5574s you know he got eighth that's right
5576s dustov played another game and now he is
5578s in the top three which means he's
5580s guaranteed at least five points
5590s because usually before leroy was a thing
5593s you would want to taunt up one of your
5594s macros right
5596s to get infinite uh resets but now
5599s that seems like a very bad idea
5601s maybe he's looking at something else at
5604s that tunnel blaster maybe
5606s yeah
5606s we'll get rid of the leroys
5608s that's true yeah speaking of the just
5610s the leroys uh both players did have them
5612s as well as in both of his opponents to
5614s have one and two leroys
5616s so it's and i'm pretty sure he should be
5619s aware of that so definitely we'll have
5621s to look at what needs to be done but
5622s looks like his board's not really going
5624s to change for this turn he's going to
5626s hold on to that morrison and see what
5628s happens next turn that's very greedy i
5630s think maybe he decided the tunnel
5633s blaster won't be so good because
5635s this is um a quillboard
5638s um quillboard game so it's really easy
5641s to buff the leroys out of the tunnel
5643s blaster range
5650s oh he does decide to taunt it oh
5654s i got a micro mummy for his trouble not
5656s really what you're after this is a
5659s little bit sketchy to me especially
5662s knowing what butterfly has
5664s yeah i think alucard was just in a tough
5665s spot like we were saying not doing
5667s anything wasn't good enough
5670s he tried to do something it didn't work
5672s but was just
5674s leaving his board as it was ever really
5676s giving him better odds uh i don't think
5678s so really tricky spot
5684s yeah
5684s i think he might still be okay i mean
5687s the pokeball's huge still
5689s yeah
5691s he's definitely fine yeah yeah okay but
5694s uh butterfly has so much hp to work with
5697s so he's not really scared
5699s yeah it's still a good amount of gold in
5701s hand as well uh to cycle through next
5703s turn if needed and now oliac does not
5705s have the luxury of facing the ghost this
5707s turn
5708s it's gonna have to make something work
5710s yes now alucard gets a breather because
5712s he gets to face the ghost while uh the
5715s players with the most hp battle it out
5717s and maybe he's hoping that one of them
5720s will kill the other but it seems pretty
5722s unlikely 39 is
5724s um a lot of health and also
5727s yeah yeah i was just gonna say even 23
5730s when you know your opponent's reasonably
5733s strong as well
5734s feels like it's probably not gonna
5736s happen when they fight each other
5738s definitely
5740s 23 is quite a lot of job um and now we
5742s can see
5744s aliex's board
5746s yeah it'll be pretty hard to deal 23
5748s although not impossible because he does
5750s have that macro he has a kangaroos
5753s um
5754s mounted lyra will definitely die
5757s yeah it's definitely not impossible to
5759s deal 23
5760s especially because he's on six as well
5763s so it's really
5765s yeah unfortunately for olyac though
5768s this whole turn
5770s just didn't really go anywhere right
5772s just didn't really get hold of anything
5774s he needed didn't get offered anything in
5775s the shop and there's the option of like
5778s uther right now if he wants to do it but
5781s not to actually play it this turn yeah
5784s ufo is definitely um
5787s definitely looking at that he's also
5788s looking at that mackerel
5790s ideally you want to buff the micro a
5792s little bit and
5794s i guess he'll probably freeze with the
5795s ufa for when he finds baron so you can
5797s buff the baron for
5799s his bus to build
5801s oh wait the murlocs are in i was wrong
5804s oh did you say murlocs went in yeah i
5806s said well sorry i must have tried i
5807s heard you because i should have
5808s corrected you on that my bad your
5810s relucts are in
5812s um
5813s it
5814s seems like a
5816s weird choice for me to pick up
5820s seven here let me see
5822s against max 7 is very questionable but
5826s maybe the other player no the other
5828s players divide shields too so i'm quite
5831s confused by this
5833s definite pickup
5837s yeah i mean it did get poison right but
5838s look how much nothing that did
5842s oh
5843s is this no this is not
5846s could it be 23 i think it could be 23.
5850s right can it
5851s yeah five five oh it's yeah it's more
5854s yeah because but i'm sorry i thought one
5855s of the metro's is going to be 21. 21.
5858s okay okay okay
5859s um i just kind of just half assumed
5861s while the metals was gonna die and that
5862s obviously knocks off a huge amount of
5864s damage but they both actually managed to
5865s stick around double gui spot now for
5868s alucard not the biggest green spots in
5870s the world but the rest of his board kind
5872s of makes up for that for now was that a
5874s third green spot
5876s i think that was a deflector
5878s was it
5880s oh it was a third one you were right i
5882s didn't see that wow
5884s yeah huge pickup
5888s and now he is against another lyra
5890s player so that taunted micro looks
5893s sketchy to me so we need something to
5895s protect it
5899s how did that happen it was the triple
5900s off the the decrease okay you just
5902s didn't yeah if you tell me you can
5904s triple a grease spot and get a micro
5906s mommy i'd put an official complaint into
5907s blizzard at that point but yeah we just
5909s didn't see the discover that's all so
5911s yeah it was there then uther pick which
5913s again leads me to believe that uh youth
5915s is just the best six drop and not a
5917s great spot but yeah
5918s um
5920s we might have to agree to disagree on
5922s that one okay that's fine uther wins
5925s best supporting actor award okay
5927s battlegrounds that's okay yes definitely
5929s i i'll agree with that
5931s buffer is very useful
5936s i'm actually surprised that only i got
5937s so far with this build
5940s yeah and it's still just refusing to get
5942s even close to death right 39 health
5945s still and that's the thing right olyac
5947s needed
5948s at least some points on the board to
5950s then give him a shot in game three but
5952s he's done a lot more than that because i
5955s it's probably something that will happen
5957s because i'll say and it made me look
5958s stupid but i cannot believe he gets
5960s anything less than second here because
5962s butterfly or alucard
5964s surely have to die before oliac loses 39
5968s health
5969s yeah i think he never dies here
5971s and next turn is going to be between
5973s butterfly and alucard and one is at five
5977s and what is that two yeah you
5979s imagine right yeah yeah so the middle
5981s he's getting his top two
5983s he might even win this if he manages to
5984s get a baron
5987s but
5988s he's very susceptible to zap here
5992s yeah buster's doing well stacking up the
5994s stats but the numbers are just huge
5997s oh
5998s that was not what he wanted to see but
6005s yeah he's definitely taking a loss here
6007s but uh
6008s that's the weird thing about the current
6011s sort of met comes right is there are
6013s some minions regardless of size you
6015s would really love to kill because for
6017s example if you kill a big pup bot oh you
6020s saved yourself one additional damage
6022s right whereas if you kill a metro and
6025s leave a put up that's huge that's like
6027s such a big difference in damage taken so
6030s yeah it does get pretty crazy based on
6032s even if you're losing what you kill is
6034s very very important in every given fight
6037s so finley is gonna take uh i think that
6040s was about 15 damage um
6042s so aliak's going to go down to 24 and
6045s now is the fight that gets to decide if
6047s oliac's going to bank that extra point
6049s or not because it is going to be our
6051s card versus uh butterfly i think you
6053s could always tie
6055s but
6057s i refuse i think my money is on a little
6059s card here
6062s although butterfly does have a huge myth
6065s frags
6067s and he has a tunnel blaster in his hand
6070s he buffing the leroy out of the tunnel
6072s blaster range
6076s he's thinking about it yeah
6080s the faux reaper is
6082s okay size i would say i've put like 30
6085s to 40 stats in a very okay number not
6088s huge but not terrible um
6090s yeah this is going to be a tricky one
6092s and i think it's fair to say it's been a
6094s much uh less clean game we've seen from
6097s everyone and not i'm not talking about
6099s play but just from uh their boards right
6101s it's not last game where we just saw
6103s everyone go for the the green spot and
6106s it was just who greece spotted better
6108s yeah
6109s that word works but you know what i mean
6112s whereas this has been much more scrappy
6114s from these players just i agree together
6116s things and again it's another
6118s cool thing to see because it's one of
6119s the huge skills involved in being good
6122s at battlegrounds right is just how you
6124s can actually make things happen when you
6126s don't get gifted the perfect board
6129s oh this is very interesting looks like
6132s you can get a triple that's quite the
6135s army is zap there for alucard what is
6137s that gonna eat a leroy heroi yeah
6141s oh oh yep oh
6145s that's poised
6147s okay
6151s it's hard to tell i believe in the booth
6153s racks
6154s zap is also really really good against
6157s the other player the mega buster player
6161s rocks oh oh
6163s oh oh
6165s no
6168s oh no where's it gonna go okay wait wait
6170s no oh how's the big one go right too
6173s tight
6181s that was so close oh my gosh well it
6184s looks like alucard is gonna end up in
6186s that third place spot and butterfly once
6189s again in a top two position except this
6192s game i think it's fair to say nina he
6195s has a much better chance of actually
6197s winning than he did in the previous game
6199s definitely i agree about that uh and
6203s top two players no greaseport
6206s i'm shocked you you asked and
6209s oh battlegrounds answered
6211s you said you didn't want to see just
6212s grease spots and although there are
6214s mechs there's not grease
6217s but this is what i think separates uh
6220s lobby legend players from just really
6223s good players right because even if you
6224s don't agree don't hit the green spot you
6226s have to be flexible enough to know what
6228s else you can do in order to win the game
6230s and that's what we've seen from these
6232s players
6234s oh great spot
6237s look he's looking at it he's looking at
6239s it it has to be too late he's looking no
6241s he's taking it he's gonna take it
6243s hundred percent
6244s for
6245s justice i don't understand well i guess
6246s he gets to uther okay yeah yeah i can
6249s see it a bit more now
6253s oh there's a baron
6255s aliex just like i'm a simple man if i
6257s see a green spot i buy a green spot
6260s i can't blame him for that
6262s but what he doesn't know is that
6264s butterfly oh no butterfly doesn't have a
6266s zap a little card head is up
6268s yeah it was alucard who went up right
6272s butterfly has the tunnel blaster
6276s oh never mind no he doesn't butterflies
6278s actually just sold the tunnel blaster
6281s have a look
6283s i'm taunted up by leroy i believe
6288s oh he's got two leroys
6290s yep one tantrum
6292s the mythrax is just that bit bigger from
6294s last time full reaper sitting safely
6297s tucked away in the middle of the group
6299s there just waiting for that final hit
6302s oh
6303s that's why you turned up the leroy
6309s uh olek just lost his biggest minion
6313s also the
6317s yeah the kangas getting killed
6318s relatively early not really having an
6320s impact on the fight either and it's just
6323s a ton of stats mythrax just chilling
6327s yeah
6328s i think it'd be pretty pretty hard for
6330s object to outscale that effect yeah
6333s because it's just too big at this point
6335s wait is that 24.
6337s oh this could easily be it right i think
6339s it might be
6340s oh it's 20 23.
6345s but yeah i completely agree i think that
6348s the extra layer here is the mythrax is
6351s massive and that's not his only big
6354s minion right it's not like he's all in
6356s on just this one big minion that has to
6358s do work the other minions are still big
6360s it's just that mythrax is bigger so a
6362s really good board so far there for
6363s butterfly uh oliak now has to
6367s pull something out the bag because that
6369s was a very convincing loss yeah
6372s butterfly has a lot of a lot of utility
6374s on his board he has
6376s um a cleave he has a big cleave he has
6379s divine shields he has a huge minion he
6381s also has two leroys
6384s it's really really hard to deal with the
6386s board like that
6388s and i wonder if olia will reposition his
6392s deflector not knowing
6394s that butterfly has a taunted leroy
6399s oh he's going for a big cliff too
6402s because remember last time he cooked his
6404s um
6405s his deflector
6407s oh sure
6409s okay
6411s this is getting interesting because
6413s butterfly is not going to expect a huge
6416s cleave
6420s and this cliff can deal with pretty much
6421s everything but
6424s there's also the big deal here that even
6426s though the cleave doesn't kill mythrax
6429s it's doing 79 right like
6432s that's a good amount if the mythorax is
6435s you know traded a time or two or or even
6437s just getting mythrax down to what it
6440s will be approximately 40 health 40 is
6443s much more manageable than
6445s 144 which is that now
6448s and we see he's moved his deflector he's
6450s not first anymore but uh he still lost
6452s the flip
6455s he lost a flip but
6457s this means that his uh phone ripper will
6460s actually get value unless he gets no it
6461s didn't get sniped
6463s oh
6465s is that good enough no it's not it's not
6467s it's not is it no
6471s i don't think he's right with that
6473s fragment this is just too chunky yeah
6475s with that hit on the divine shield yeah
6477s exactly the mithrax is going to be good
6478s enough take the win and wow i said right
6481s at the start of the day i was very
6482s interested in the players that i didn't
6485s really know much about
6487s butterfly one of the players from china
6490s is looking good second place in game one
6495s first place in game two that is what you
6498s want to do to say yeah i'll see you guys
6500s tomorrow and the final day because that
6503s is almost impossible for him to actually
6506s be not like he's gonna finish first
6508s today necessarily but he will not be
6511s below half i think which is the the
6513s placements everyone has to get right you
6515s need to finish top four to move on and
6517s uh what a cool game as well nina right
6519s you didn't want to just see grease spots
6521s and we did see some grease spots but not
6524s only good spots yes we actually saw
6526s greasepoint players getting knocked out
6528s which was interesting to me because kid
6530s five actually got his green spot really
6531s really early on
6533s and i'm excited i was excited to see
6535s oliak make a comeback
6537s from the last game
6538s so um yeah that was a very interesting
6542s game to watch and uh the last few turns
6545s we saw a lot of you know mind games
6547s going on between the players it tried to
6549s uh outplay their opponent that was
6551s really fun to watch as well
6553s and i think that's something that's
6554s actually super difficult and something i
6557s definitely struggle with is end game
6559s positioning what to go for when do you
6561s switch on to something else to counter
6563s what they might do because also it's one
6565s of the game states that's kind of hard
6567s is to practice right because it's comp
6570s dependent it's what minion types are in
6573s the game dependent it's what your
6575s opponent has what you have and you have
6577s to get top two to practice it right so
6580s it actually gets really difficult to do
6582s in those sort of heads up plays so yeah
6585s anyone who performs as well as these two
6586s players did you know knowing what to go
6588s for knowing what gives them the best
6590s chance possible at just stealing a win
6591s when they maybe shouldn't or securing a
6594s win that they feel they should have is
6596s very very impressive overall but i do
6598s completely agree we have two sides of
6600s the coin with the two players who
6602s finished top two here with butterfly
6604s just securing his position on the
6606s leaderboard with a great finish and
6609s ollie doing exactly what you need to do
6612s game one got eight which means zero
6614s points game two second six points and
6618s suddenly he's back in the game right
6620s yeah as long as he does all right in the
6622s next game it's quite likely you can make
6624s it so
6625s pretty interesting overall there you go
6627s oliac went from dead last to top four in
6630s the space of that one single game but 13
6633s points for butterfly 10 wicked five
6636s but really it's those bottom two spots
6639s that are the most up in the air right at
6641s the alu card and ollie position with
6644s their aoc aos i'm sorry being only half
6646s a point behind dolly heck right now oh
6649s yeah i can definitely see uh
6651s some of the players definitely still
6652s have a chance to make it because the
6654s difference between
6655s the uh third place and eighth place is
6658s not
6659s uh it's not huge there's still it's
6660s still possible for satellite to make it
6662s if he makes
6664s um
6665s top one in the next game but i think
6667s butterfly and kid five whatever fly is
6670s 100 through now isn't he um pretty much
6673s guaranteed to move on to
6676s the finals tomorrow
6678s uh
6679s i want to say yes
6681s uh i hate doing numbers quickly on on
6684s stream uh because i'm bad at it but i
6686s want to say yes um but i think the key
6690s here is to we'll very much need to keep
6693s an eye on uh olliak and alucard because
6696s if one or both end up like eighth
6699s seventh then suddenly who knows who's
6702s going to get through in that third and
6703s fourth spot
6704s but we will have to wait just a few
6706s minutes to find out we are going to go
6707s to a quick break while we set up game
6709s number three don't go away we'll be
6710s right back
6712s [Music]
6728s so
6731s [Music]
6734s [Applause]
6737s [Music]
6743s um
6745s [Music]
6764s [Music]
6770s do
6772s [Music]
6827s do
6833s [Music]
6848s [Music]
6896s so
6901s [Music]
6906s [Music]
6911s welcome back to lobby legends fire
6913s festival we are about to go into game
6914s three of this lobby and just a quick
6917s reminder if you've joined us a little
6918s bit later uh this does mean that after
6921s this game we have a new set of eight
6922s players and we're going to be playing
6924s through three more games after that but
6926s winding back to this one nina there's a
6928s lot on the line for these players now as
6930s we have two players who feel relatively
6932s safe in the form of butterfly in kid
6934s five but then we have to keep an eye on
6936s everyone else because these placements
6938s are gonna make the big final impact to
6940s see who qualifies tomorrow
6942s yes definitely i'm excited to watch this
6944s game the last game of lobby a and the
6948s there's still quite a few players um
6950s that can make into the finals i don't
6952s think anyone is out completely um
6955s because satellite can still have a
6956s really good game and one of the top four
6958s players well third or fourth can still
6961s have a bad game so you know everything
6962s is still open i think that there's still
6964s two spots that are definitely open
6966s butterfly and kit five are definitely
6968s sitting quite comfortable there in the
6970s top two yeah it's definitely one of
6972s those games where we are one of those
6974s lobbies so far that no one's truly in a
6977s mess i think we've had it in the past
6978s where at this point there'd be like a
6980s player on two points and then suddenly
6982s like okay
6984s possible but unlike very unlikely right
6986s whereas the lowest is uh honing bow and
6989s satellite at four points which suddenly
6991s you know is very doable at this point so
6993s a lot of it we will be keeping a close
6995s eye on who gets knocked out when as that
6998s will have huge impacts on air on where
7001s people place i think some of the biggest
7003s impacts that could be made is if like
7005s butterfly and kid five
7007s weirdly end up seventh eighth so they
7009s don't really gain any points and then
7011s suddenly like the majority of the points
7013s up for the grabs i hope for grabs sorry
7015s for all of the players who need it it
7017s doesn't like yep we are getting into
7019s game i saw that out the corner of my
7020s eyes so let's take a look uh talk to me
7023s about the heroes nina
7025s okay let's have a look we have olyage
7027s and his choices are anixia alesstraza
7029s zarella and cario not amazing options
7033s zyrella is probably the best option here
7035s especially if we have a lot of tokens in
7037s the game uh we have it looks like we
7040s only have nagas in the game
7042s no matter the tokens oh no max there you
7045s go oh no max no beast this is going to
7047s be a fun lobby to watch
7050s oh and he gets a token he gets a token
7052s on turn one
7053s yeah pretty interesting as well just
7055s looking at some of the players who need
7057s big things to happen
7059s i'm staring at er honing bow on baroff
7062s which again is a hero that
7065s can be terrible and you can ate easily
7067s but can also really pop off if you get
7069s that economy going and you just get to
7072s those you know the big turns first and
7075s there's also as well i'm just taking a
7077s look here uh ao is on the uh the galaxy
7081s another character that can really go
7084s crazy or feel a little bit wimpy at
7086s times
7087s uh ao is only on 5.5 points currently
7090s sitting at fifth place which is not
7092s enough to qualify so again another hero
7095s that has the ability to just say you
7096s know what i'll win this lobby thank you
7099s uh galakrong is quite a weird choice to
7101s me because
7104s um mexi aren't in so what are you even
7106s going for
7108s that's a good question we have another
7109s maiev in the game satellite on maiev and
7112s oh we see baroff leveling on turn two
7115s with an empty board because he hero
7117s powered on turn one and one he's bet
7120s so he's going for a hyper leveling uh
7122s curve yeah he had the pig turn one in to
7125s sell for the gems got the bet right and
7128s again if if honeybell can do this but i
7130s like this from honeybow he's got four
7132s points he's nowhere near qualifying he
7134s needs something huge to happen
7136s if holding bow gets eighth it doesn't
7139s matter yeah he has nothing so much
7141s higher right so he cleans something big
7143s so i love to see this from him he is
7145s going to take minimal damage at this
7147s point so not really losing out on much
7149s right now so yeah i love to see we're
7151s going to see if he's going to get the
7152s bet right i didn't oh okay oh
7155s that's what
7160s with no minions on board
7162s but we have a lot of money and money is
7164s nice i love it honestly yeah it's very
7168s exciting to watch
7169s yeah where do you see anyone do this
7172s curve especially if you didn't start
7173s with a token
7175s yeah and he just fought the galactic in
7177s ao sprite so he knows what gallacron has
7182s obviously he knows the general plan with
7183s gallacrond as well so it's not like
7185s galakron's realistically going to buy
7187s the leveled up minion now it's very
7189s early to do that it's a very easy bet
7192s for him because it's between galakron
7193s who's on one and alucard who went three
7195s on three with probably no minions on
7197s board unless he has the naga no he has
7200s an empty board
7202s so it's a very easy bet for him
7209s looks like a satellite going up against
7211s the uh zyrella in the form of ollie
7214s and uh we see a weaver player
7220s gonna be enough for the win as well not
7222s too bad any victories you can get early
7224s with maya feel strong because you're so
7226s used to taking a million damage while
7228s your hero powering
7230s oh we have
7234s a triple in the shop already
7237s and this is the prize meta
7238s again uh prize game
7241s yeah i've got mermaid for the buff maybe
7244s no okay going for rockpool
7249s yeah i think he is probably going to go
7251s for a four drop
7257s looks like it paid off paid off for her
7258s number to go uh three on three
7263s because bristleback brewed is a very
7265s nice find
7267s decided to cash in and get the myth
7268s racks this is big mythrax can get out of
7270s control if it's this only mythrax
7275s with two tribes on the board already
7278s that's pretty juicy
7281s but uh murlocs are in the game
7285s though there's poisons but then again
7286s last game they were there was
7289s starlocks in the game too and nobody
7290s even went poisons yeah it didn't really
7292s make an impact at all i think everyone
7294s was very focused on just going for those
7296s divine shields man yeah yeah that's the
7298s thing in this game there's no divine
7300s shields there's no beast there's no
7301s mechs so murlocs i think we're going to
7304s see some poison boards
7307s together with a huge stat boards if
7310s honeybot wins this bet again
7312s he can do whatever he wants this game i
7314s feel like
7315s so much gold yeah that's what i mean he
7317s could just pick an option right uh there
7320s is only alucard and element omega who
7323s was at
7325s his tavern tea at the moment
7328s this is the play i love i love to see
7330s this honestly if there's ever a moment
7332s you need to just go crazy and win oh
7334s he's falling again he's so rich
7338s just do whatever you want oh nimbo it
7340s feels like it's going to be strong
7341s enough
7342s you think he's going to oh yeah oh of
7344s course he is
7347s get that man a tavern tier 6.
7350s um
7351s it's decides to go for the thorn collar
7354s as well get extra gems
7356s i was kind of eyeing that profit of the
7358s boar but it's probably not worth it i
7360s mean he is on tier four and that is a
7362s two drop right
7363s yeah oh he's going for the banana board
7366s with banana ball at least he is
7368s guaranteed um the buffs on his
7371s crystal bag brute even if he runs out of
7373s germs
7374s yeah he can almost to an extent at least
7377s for the near future just forget about
7379s worrying about gems right if he just has
7380s the banner ball he can just play that
7382s and be like okay i don't have to look at
7384s gem generation every turn to maximize
7386s the stat gain so i do like that a lot
7388s but i just love that he's just betting
7390s getting them all right and saying yeah
7392s let's pop off
7393s so crazy so you see tickets now um
7397s looks like a milk comp without the
7399s payoff so far
7401s yeah this is um
7403s this looks like a board that
7405s just buy the best minions you offered in
7407s the shop and um try to triple into
7410s something useful
7412s yep
7413s but it is
7414s actually it is seven gold and he's still
7416s on turn at tier two right no he's level
7419s two three yes i think he's probably
7420s going to go for or five drop there
7426s that's that big as well when you account
7427s for all those extra buffs so he's going
7429s to be able to get the win and push a
7430s reasonable chunk of damage as well not
7433s tons but again when you're pushing
7435s damage against the baroff that's just
7437s winning every bet then that's a good
7439s person to push damage against this
7441s definitely
7443s you see the triple here for kid five is
7446s gonna level and hero power by looks
7448s things as well freeze again and just say
7449s you know what this'll be enough
7453s wait barrow i've got the bet again oh my
7456s god
7459s is he thinking of leveling i don't you
7461s can't level that win
7463s level hovering over that button no
7465s don't do it do it don't do it don't
7468s listen to raven
7470s i can't even argue with that because i'm
7472s by far the worst player out of the two
7474s of us yes oh my this is it that is
7477s high risk even if pollen beau
7480s loses and comes eight he's still a
7482s winner in my book this is the
7484s battlegrounds i want to see all in
7488s i this is what i like to call nina curve
7493s level all the leveling curves right um
7495s it's this one curve i used to do
7498s back in the i think the prize matter
7500s i won the prizes were in every game
7502s basically you hyper level to six not
7504s find anything and then die brilliant
7507s i will not endorse that as a
7510s tip
7511s because we've already had we need one
7513s for this game to make it three for three
7514s but i'm not including that one hey
7516s sometimes it works out sometimes you
7519s find the nuts
7521s at one in every 10 games you don't
7523s strictly get eight plays
7530s really close girl from well early-ish
7532s glow scale
7533s not
7547s against kid available
7548s pushing another 12 damage again kid five
7552s looking pretty okay in the standings but
7555s every player will not want zero points
7557s it's time out do a little prayer oh
7571s he does not look happy
7574s yeah but you can't help but laugh when
7576s that happens and this is the second time
7578s we're watching eudora in this um
7580s tournament and second time you don't get
7582s serious
7583s what other odds whoa double at this and
7586s now for satellite okay
7588s we can talk about that but i do just
7590s want to mention kid five has three
7593s triples into six next turn right he had
7596s the two triples in on in the shop that
7598s he froze
7599s and the triple from whatever the zerus
7601s is so that's still an absolute ton of
7604s options next turn and the shield is
7607s still up as no one's uh and no one's
7609s died so still
7610s we have to watch uh eudora next turn to
7613s see what that zerus turns into
7618s i located is a pretty good position at
7620s the moment so i think he's just going to
7623s try to play in safe and um
7626s secure that top four for himself
7630s he doesn't need to go crazy with uh high
7633s rolling in order to make it through to
7634s the finals yeah alucard's definitely in
7636s the spot where it's just get me a few
7639s points right two to three points
7640s probably make him feel quite safe
7643s anything above that feels very very
7645s secure indeed
7647s oh
7648s double myth fracks
7651s that was the hit that was the hit
7653s that was the head to win him the fight
7655s bigger mythrax as well
7657s yeah it was
7658s but now he might get punished for it by
7660s not getting his coins
7662s nope he's not getting his coins
7665s a punish i'd probably take though just
7667s to push the extra oh definitely yeah i'd
7669s rather not get coins than take the
7670s mythrax damage and here we
7673s go devourer oh devour is actually not
7676s too bad especially if we can find a
7677s battlemaster
7679s because you get stats and you get gold
7683s there's still just these two triples on
7684s offer as well for kid five this is gonna
7687s be one heck of a turn or at least has
7688s the potential to be another officer
7690s that's the third officer in the game
7693s right now that i glanced at and another
7694s one
7695s and maybe you'd uh triple into a demon
7698s that we can eat
7700s and another one oh another teaser oh
7703s what is going on
7705s we need a demon
7708s ah
7710s naga though yeah that's a good still
7712s there's still a role there's still a
7713s role
7721s no demons he might just have to play it
7723s is there worth yeah one extra roll was
7726s available because he could just sell the
7728s six four yeah oh the monologue yeah yeah
7731s but it's gone too far he's gonna play it
7734s i think
7735s pass pass
7737s you think he's gonna play that well if
7739s he plays the fel bound that's four
7742s spells on this board
7745s if he doesn't play it he's going to die
7750s he's oh he's selling he's selling three
7753s together okay yeah yeah another not
7756s there it costs him
7758s we'll find out soon if it cost him
7759s everything oh
7761s oh
7762s we thought
7764s oh another devourer that's pretty nice
7767s justice it gets to buffet money well
7769s that's what's going on it starts yeah
7771s honey is nice yeah more money less
7773s problems
7775s quick quick play stuff
7778s is that going to be enough you think
7780s i'm feeling watching
7783s his faces are pretty big and he has a
7785s demon grew a lot
7787s yeah being able to uther on the demon
7789s and then get the extra stats but it's
7792s the quad atheista this is bringing me
7794s back to lobby legends too yeah
7796s [Applause]
7798s uh double a thesis anything can happen
7801s in these uh microscopes oh oh no oh
7804s that's enough is this death this is
7806s death
7807s this is death oh
7809s hit five complete was people
7812s he was about to pop off as well double
7815s it they said the board was big he could
7817s basically just carry on for the rest of
7818s the game looking bad there kid five
7822s takes a loss goes out in eight gets zero
7825s points he is sitting on ten right now so
7827s still
7828s quite likely he gets through but again
7831s no one wants oh the guaranteed is it
7833s yeah no one wants zero but what's
7835s guaranteed is only making money with
7838s these pets there's three more coins in
7840s his hand why am i not surprised he's at
7842s six and he has a brand as well excellent
7844s money generator
7848s he only he doesn't have a thesis though
7849s he's getting lots of uh spells
7851s spellcraft spells but he only has a
7853s critter wrangler
7855s he needs to find kid fives who are
7857s pieces that died oh yeah yeah they're
7859s back in the pool now yep
7862s i've still watched that three
7864s i think that the prize is the recurring
7866s gold right
7868s oh there's a necker like in the
7871s in the shop
7873s but do we have a good target i guess we
7875s can put everything on the imp mama and
7877s palma is not the worst
7879s to the past pretty solid
7882s and then we'll make a huge impala
7888s but it's only one million he has one
7890s million at the moment it's a one million
7893s one of the things he's lacking there if
7895s anything is taunt as well right to at
7897s least give some level of protection to
7898s the mama
7900s and here the warlocks i was talking
7901s about
7902s another satisfy only it has a turn off
7905s as well which is huge for murlocs right
7907s to just get hold of things maybe try and
7909s set up some poison for the seven
7912s i i imagine oliac will
7914s oh okay
7915s i'm gonna finish strong i guess he's on
7917s five health right yeah yeah yeah yeah
7918s yeah yeah
7918s i can't play too dicey but it's diff
7921s it's difficult to toe the line to get as
7923s many seven products as possible yeah
7927s and here we see ios trying to get poison
7929s on his um
7931s uh amalgam
7933s which doesn't look like it's going to
7935s happen unless he gets very light goes
7938s oh no oh it goes the second one oh no oh
7942s very close racks yeah very close but
7944s still gets to push a million onto the
7947s mutinous for element omega literally was
7949s winning and he's now low at 10 health oh
7952s ho nimbo lost a fight as well down to
7955s seven oh wait butterflies out our top
7958s two you called it again
7959s how did you do it you said if the top
7962s two players get sevens with eight yeah
7964s yeah it's just not good oh my days
7967s i thought he's usually the other way
7969s around
7970s for casters i'll let you into a secret
7973s if you make enough calls over time some
7976s of them are bound to come true and
7978s that's just a it's just an odds
7981s but yeah that's huge and i do think the
7982s big problem for honembo right now as
7984s well is that it's kind of what you were
7986s saying right he got all the money he got
7988s the tavern tier up fast but he's not got
7991s those payoff cards right yeah it's like
7993s that halfway towards the best comp uh
7996s holding both hands just picked up on the
7997s thesis though i know we're not looking
7999s at his board right now but he has just
8001s got hold of an officer so
8004s it might just be too late but
8005s it feels a bit later turn 10. people
8007s already switching to poison clumps
8011s you always spare
8013s i'm gonna go for the
8015s orgazoa there
8018s yeah there we go there's honeyboat got a
8020s lot of spells got some stuff can get get
8022s some work done this turn but it just it
8024s feels like it's that one step
8027s behind everyone else yeah it feels a
8029s little bit too late to me and at this
8031s point he simply cannot lose a fight
8033s realistically right on seven health it's
8035s almost certain
8037s yeah definitely and actually element
8039s omega went from 30 health last turn to
8043s 10.
8044s so he is in a precarious position as
8045s well
8046s and do you remember last game you said
8049s 15 damage was a billion damage but this
8052s time 20 damage was million damage the
8055s math kind of a bit funny to me
8058s it makes perfect sense just don't think
8060s about it
8061s because as long as it looks like a lot
8063s it's a million or a billion it doesn't
8065s matter the interchangeable oh no
8068s i think this is therefore element
8071s yeah okay this goes down yeah this is
8074s def this that's just at worst and oh
8077s yeah okay very dead yeah
8079s unfortunately all his big useful minions
8082s went into poisons or leroys
8084s yeah big win there for honember though
8086s because that shoots him up you know that
8087s one extra spot uh element oh mega gonna
8091s be going out in sixth place and i think
8094s that means the element will not be
8095s making into the finals unfortunately
8098s i
8099s glancing at the numbers i believe that
8101s is almost certainly true yes
8104s uh so let's take a look at what oliac's
8106s been up to while we've been away you did
8107s get that turn off not too long ago and
8109s looks like he's made some good use of it
8111s right does have this uh uh the battle
8113s cries going off double net well not
8115s double but every turn now uh stefan
8117s hasn't really had the chance to get a
8119s lot more looks poisoned but again that's
8122s that problem you run into where if you
8124s roll the dice trying to maximize poison
8127s it means you play smaller minions to get
8130s those events to go off but if you do
8132s that and lose well ollie just dies and
8134s olliak again needs points uh he's only
8138s at six which again is okay
8140s but he does need the points here so any
8142s extra placements are good so i i
8145s understand why he's not got to this
8146s point with the seven yet he's got he's
8148s in a good position though because he
8150s just taunted his mandate that's at least
8152s one million he has a selfless will which
8154s will definitely die and he has a void
8156s lord in his hand which means he will get
8158s at least one poison if he plays that
8160s voilord
8161s right lord is really great when you're
8162s trying to get poison on your murlocs
8165s and it's great as well because it's
8167s strong enough to just throw it in for
8169s one turn it does its job then get rid of
8171s it if you need to right it's just
8172s absolutely fine it's a really really
8174s great taunt i think with acolyte gone
8177s from the game it's probably the
8180s uh the only guaranteed
8182s um
8184s revenge part well
8186s only guaranteed what's the um counter to
8189s pirate exodia
8191s oh okay sure
8194s uh
8196s this is oh he did he said not to play
8198s the voidlord or the voidlord that's
8200s interesting to me
8201s okay
8204s the bar off is just farming everyone on
8207s his mantis and leroy's
8209s it looks like this is death for
8212s olly unfortunately yeah with the poison
8214s on the seven now as well that's just a
8217s donut deal and that does mean that x
8219s gonna go out in at minimum fifth oh
8222s joint fourth fifth with their ao is
8225s going out too
8227s so again not terrible there for oliac
8230s considering his start was terrible yeah
8232s in this match but oh now we're on about
8235s the new
8236s prizes
8238s oh
8238s these are all pretty good
8240s satellites going into a ghost so maybe
8243s he can actually pick the greedier prizes
8246s and not go for ice block maybe because
8249s uh his minions look pretty big to me
8252s yep
8254s let's go for the ice block though which
8256s again could buy him that one extra space
8261s owning still has coins in hand why am i
8264s not surprised
8265s he's still winning those bets
8267s yep it's too good
8271s oh
8272s there's more money
8274s i feel like he could have got more he
8276s didn't steal all the minions because he
8277s was out of hand space right yeah
8280s maybe i'm wrong
8282s possible
8284s our card switched off hero power though
8285s a one of the prizes i don't see too
8288s often played but again that doesn't
8290s really mean too much but kind of makes
8292s sense as gale wing right now right you
8294s just necessarily just want to wait three
8296s turns all right definitely
8298s happen like there's three turns in the
8300s game yeah yeah definitely
8302s go ahead oh he rolled over
8304s the selfless
8308s and he's still keeping that three two
8310s taunt on the board
8316s parov is just too many options too much
8318s money to spend yeah
8321s made some good investments on that turn
8323s the divine shield going on the momentum
8326s looking okay but
8329s i think we're starting to see a pattern
8330s here with the boards that are winning
8332s this lobby with mechs and beasts out i
8335s think what we're seeing uh
8337s people have one big minion one or two
8339s big minions and then just a bunch of
8341s poisons and leroys
8344s yeah it feels like just the thing you
8347s have to go for right because it's
8348s consistent in what they achieve because
8350s stats don't really matter in those
8352s instances with leroys and poison so it
8355s doesn't matter if like oh my points
8357s outstatted me well i've got more poison
8358s so i'll win anyway yes that's the matter
8361s in this game for at least um
8364s let's see hanimbo and
8368s yeah gilwing
8370s alucard because there is no way they can
8372s outscale my f right maya
8374s early uh double adhesive
8377s so they know they can't outscale her so
8378s they would they're going to try to out
8380s poison her basically that's gonna be
8382s alucard going out in third place but
8384s again i think that's a great showing he
8386s finished 3.5
8388s and then a three
8390s again so he's looking very good to be
8393s featured tomorrow it looks like you know
8396s what nimbo's hyper leveling strategy is
8398s paying
8401s off uh honestly this is zero personal
8405s bias or preference but my preference for
8408s for
8409s who i think or should or will win is
8411s just haunting both i just love the way
8413s he played this game he identified he
8415s needed something big to happen and boy
8417s did he play as if he needed something
8419s big to happen because he was leveling
8421s like an absolute madman and getting
8423s those bets right which enabled it it was
8426s there just solid play overall i'd love
8428s to see
8429s wait do you remember what i said that
8431s hype 11 into six and dying
8433s curve nina curve it works sometimes one
8435s in ten this is the one
8439s this is when it actually works proof
8442s recorded proof that it can work
8446s if you're one of the best battleground
8447s players in the world
8450s therefore i will never try
8451s they have
8453s nothing okay
8454s baron divine shield for a little bit of
8456s extra juice
8458s i like does have that ice block active
8460s as well you can see on screen too so
8462s yeah so just have that extra time to
8464s maybe dig for golden baron gold and
8466s selfless definitely that's what he's
8468s looking for
8470s he knows the stats don't matter against
8471s this person because they're just poisons
8473s and divine shields yeah poisons and the
8475s leroys
8478s i love the uh two people left one of
8480s them is barrow
8482s because it's just like
8484s oh yeah it shows what type of person you
8486s are it's like i'm good let's be honest
8487s i'm gonna bet against myself i'm
8488s probably gonna lose i'm gonna lose with
8490s some gold
8491s oh no bara barov has to bet on himself
8494s because if he loses he dies
8497s you die with some gold oh no no you have
8499s to no you no you you bet on the other
8502s person to win right you wait on the
8504s other person to win next turn
8506s oh no there's no next turn this is it
8508s this problem that's going to be the game
8510s too much damage there holding ball
8512s you're right you have to bet on yourself
8514s to win you're right i thought the the
8515s health was switched but yeah oh no so
8517s holy bro is going to go out there second
8519s place still a great performance overall
8522s from him i think not only was that
8524s entertaining
8525s but uh it was just the correct thing to
8527s do he grabbed a second place and it
8529s didn't mean that satellite grabbed first
8532s which
8533s the the two players at the bottom of the
8536s leaderboard going into game three
8538s got first and second and the two players
8540s at the top got seventh and eight
8543s this is the kind of thing that can
8545s happen and why we've seen time and time
8547s again you can't just judge what's gonna
8550s happen going into game three because
8552s there are normally so many different
8555s outcomes so we'll have to see what
8557s happens uh i'm definitely not gonna sit
8560s and try and work out who's where i'm
8561s gonna wait till uh the correct people
8564s called the admins work all that out and
8565s show us but for now i think this was a
8567s great way to cap off this lobby nina
8569s because game one we saw the pre you know
8572s optimal sort of mech styles game two we
8576s saw what happens when that isn't uh
8578s accessible for a lot of the players and
8580s then game three we just saw craziness
8583s yes that's what happens in necklace and
8585s beastless lobbies it's just so much
8587s variety but like i said usually it just
8589s um someone
8591s scales out of control and then everyone
8593s realizes that they can't outscale that
8594s person so they switch to poison which is
8596s what happened this game as well yes and
8599s then
8601s oh um i was just saying
8603s but the person who got double a thesis
8605s still managed to win
8607s yes and uh
8609s got hold of him pretty early looking
8611s quite strong there but uh yeah it was
8614s just really solid overall and again just
8616s shows the differences the uh what sort
8618s of combination minion types are in the
8620s game like i think it would have looked
8622s obviously very different if we had
8623s beasts and nomex because then everyone
8625s would start looking a slightly different
8627s way here yeah yeah a really really cool
8630s game there and that big surprise factor
8632s from kid five and butterfly game seven
8635s and eight and also
8637s the repeat zerus again from
8642s yeah
8643s truly truly ridiculous overall it's a
8645s great moment though
8647s well i mean it's funny for us we're not
8648s yeah definitely it's the best thing
8650s about being a caster when good things
8652s happen it's good when bad things happen
8654s it's good because it's just
8655s entertainment because it's not happening
8657s to you exactly we get to laugh and cry
8660s along with the players i suppose but
8662s yeah really cool um final lobby there
8664s and i think
8666s i guess outside of beasts
8668s gives us a
8670s well-rounded look at what the meta looks
8672s like right now right across those three
8674s games uh so i wonder if we're gonna see
8677s that when we move into lobby two but
8680s congratulations to satellite we can see
8681s our top four players kid five makes it
8684s in i am yeah through tie breakers
8686s because he got a first place and holding
8688s boy at home boy at boat so he didn't
8691s keep saying boy now because saul said it
8693s in the private chat um
8695s butterfly though looking great again
8698s even with the one pointer at the end the
8700s first two lobbies were incredible uh
8702s alucard sneaks in with just your solid
8705s play strategy which we've seen work
8708s consistency yeah and then satellite the
8710s win at the end getting him in there as
8712s well so congratulations to butterfly
8715s alucard satellite and kid five those
8717s four players are going to make it
8719s through to tomorrow and we'll be joined
8721s by four players from the next group the
8723s next lobby we are going to get to but i
8726s do think overall even for the players
8728s that did not make it i think they all
8730s played well which is what we expect
8732s right nina i mean you know a lot of
8733s these players better than i do but
8735s players who can consistently finish on
8738s ladder high enough to finish to even get
8741s invited and then they have to do well in
8744s a pre-qualifier to get to this spot i
8746s think we expect great play and that's
8748s what we saw definitely to get to this
8750s point already you shouldn't feel bad if
8752s you didn't make it through because
8753s you're going home with um
8756s 1250
8757s dollars but
8761s and just to make it to this point i
8763s think the players or the players should
8764s be very very proud of themselves because
8766s it takes a lot of grinding just to make
8769s it to top 16 on their respective ladder
8772s yeah and already i think as this is
8774s lobby legends number four we are
8776s starting to build up that history that
8778s legacy for players we already like oh
8780s this player's been in three out of the
8782s four this players you know going for
8784s their third or fourth appearance and
8786s that'll really start to flesh out soon
8788s and you know even just getting to this
8790s point as you said nina is very very
8791s impressive overall
8793s but
8794s we're halfway through the day that's one
8796s lobby done one set of players sorted out
8798s we've got our four winners they're gonna
8800s move on to tomorrow we're gonna go to a
8802s slightly longer break while we set up
8803s the second lobby and we're gonna do it
8805s all over again with eight new players
8807s make sure you stick around to check out
8809s lobby number two for the day

9430s we are back here at lobby legends five
9432s festival we are halfway through the day
9434s and you know what that means it means a
9436s new set of eight players a new lobby and
9439s a set of three games to go through once
9441s again we already have four of the
9443s players that are going to be qualifying
9444s to tomorrow in the final day and then
9447s now we're about to get four more so
9448s let's check out uh what players we do
9450s actually have here as we have yet to
9452s introduce them to stream to focus on the
9454s first eight of the day of course but i
9456s am going to be interested to see if the
9458s ma the games go in a similar fashion to
9460s the ones we've seen so far but nina uh
9463s what names are really sticking out for
9464s you here um of course i'm a human so the
9467s names that are familiar to me are
9469s sticking out to me so we have a lot of
9471s returning players a lot of
9473s high leader board players we have dapido
9476s who is just his third time i think in
9479s the lobby legends and then we have peter
9482s babbitt who is super consistent on uh
9484s ladder and i'm really excited to watch
9486s him play and of course we also have xqn
9489s um a legend a ladder legend
9494s and everyone and
9496s and i'm super excited to see all the new
9498s players play as well because i think
9499s this is the first time for
9501s the rest of them right
9503s more or less yeah i think this is pretty
9505s much the first time for the majority of
9507s this lobby and i do just want to go back
9510s to uh dappy and i think uh just to
9513s remind everyone here he was in lobby
9515s legends 2 and lobby legends 3 he got
9518s second place in both and he's
9520s re-qualified again uh which is just
9523s incredible not only is the qualification
9525s uh finishing high on ladder but then
9527s also making it through the
9529s pre-qualification so i'm very excited to
9532s see what he can do here as he's already
9534s for me at least kind of got his name out
9536s there as just the best tournament player
9539s so far because he's just gone
9541s back-to-back second places um
9544s which is huge he's just incredibly
9546s impressive and he's back again and who
9548s knows we might be you know around this
9550s time tomorrow saying oh dappy's in the
9553s lead on the last day you know he just
9555s needs a win he's got the lobby in check
9556s who knows maybe uh third time's the
9559s charm and he is the highest earning
9562s player in the lobby legends even though
9564s he's never actually won a tournament
9566s yeah again it's that battlegrounds
9568s mindset right of at least on ladder what
9571s you want to do is gain mmr right that's
9574s like just goal number one uh so even if
9577s you're not doing too well you want to
9578s you know change the game around a bit so
9580s you can just even scrape a fourth scrape
9582s a third or whatever you may need and
9585s that consistency is paid off because
9586s these two second places as you've quite
9588s rightly said has currently got him in
9590s the top earners uh or as the top earner
9593s should i say in lobby legends uh history
9596s which sounds very grand this is lovely
9598s legends four of this year but it's not
9600s you know incorrect uh so yeah very very
9603s excited to keep an eye on dappy
9604s especially because when i cast him the
9606s highlight for me were those moments
9609s where he only needed a few points or he
9612s was in a rough spot and he just threw
9614s comps together that just got him an
9617s extra couple of places and gained those
9618s points so absolutely huge but is there
9621s anything you want to see
9623s in the lobby's going forward that we
9625s haven't seen so far i want to see some
9627s beasts we haven't seen a single beast
9629s lobby right i want to see some beasts i
9631s want to see mama bears i want to see how
9633s uh players can salvage their games with
9636s crocolisk and maybe even some uh leaper
9638s games
9639s yeah that's the only thing i want to see
9641s just leapers all the way down leapers
9644s three lobbies in a row and then that
9646s made me happy for the end of the day but
9648s yeah really excited to get into this one
9650s i think the players are just in a test
9653s game right now of course we like to make
9655s sure all the players are comfortable no
9657s tech issues all ready to go because
9660s frankly there's nothing more annoying
9661s than getting a chunk of the way through
9662s a game and then going oh something's
9664s gone wrong let's start again yeah
9666s but you know what else is annoying one
9668s if you're playing a test game and it
9670s goes really very well and then you're
9672s like oh it's not a real game it's a test
9674s game
9676s it's something i used to think because
9678s many many years ago i did used to
9680s compete in air in standard tournaments
9682s and if you had if you ever had to do
9684s like a quick test game and your mulligan
9686s was good you just think that's it for
9688s the whole game now but we are in the
9691s game right now test game over real game
9693s has begun and we're gonna check out
9695s dappy first uh uh what do you make of
9698s the hero choices we can see locked in so
9700s far
9701s all right we see that pedo on lady vaj
9705s lady vaj is actually a really really
9707s strong hero
9709s um but i think a lot of players don't
9710s know how to play her so i'm excited to
9713s see dabido play uh this new hero
9716s and then we have a kitchen on goff the
9720s new
9721s uh buff golf then xq on craig
9725s and riba on
9727s gallacrond and bitter on is that finley
9730s that's finley and he's choosing between
9733s deathwing
9735s um
9737s this is saurfang saurfang and
9739s ini inu yeah
9741s he did go for india as well also just a
9744s sad update no beasts but we've got meg
9747s oh no beast but mexicans we'll save the
9750s beast for tomorrow okay that's the
9752s the deal we're going to have to make but
9754s yeah it's tomorrow i am excited to see
9757s goff because gus stuff definitely got
9758s buffed right so i've seen uh some
9761s players do very very well i was watching
9763s uh i
9764s yeah i was watching a jj this morning
9766s actually playing and he just dumps to
9768s the lobby let's go so that was kind of
9770s fun to see uh also a zhonyu unfold gin a
9774s hero that can definitely do some busted
9776s stuff honestly so yeah a lot going on
9779s right now but what is the goal for guff
9781s is it a fairly uh straightforward plan
9783s of just pressing the hero power as often
9785s as possible
9786s um
9788s well kyojin had a very very nice token
9790s start so i think he might be going for
9794s a curve where he levels on six gold and
9796s hero powers levels to three on six gold
9799s and then try to find some good three
9801s jobs to hero power
9803s um but
9804s do you think buff goff is enough
9807s uh i think it definitely could be yeah
9809s and uh someone watching will be very
9811s happy you're deciding to play this game
9813s um
9814s dappy here with the uh
9817s the new hero and you were talking about
9819s you didn't think people knew how to play
9820s them right but
9823s i also agree because i was trying to
9824s like spam the hero power and i feel like
9828s just from my play that just actually
9830s focusing on leveling first was much
9833s stronger in in the long run because the
9835s hero powers early did not feel strong
9837s enough yeah definitely you do not want
9839s to hear a power early game because he
9841s already hit the myrmidon right so he's
9843s already guaranteed um
9845s permanent stats with the myrmidon he has
9847s on board and the gold early turns can be
9850s spent so much more efficiently well it's
9853s not happening here because he's got a
9854s tavern tipper but usually yes you do not
9856s want to hear a power early game because
9859s you only get one permanent stat per turn
9861s anyway
9862s and
9863s if you think about it um the only good
9867s spellcraft spell on tier one and two is
9869s the mini marmadon right it's only that
9872s or the the taunt but you don't really
9874s want to taunt up your minions so early
9876s on
9876s and then
9879s yeah so you want to level two three
9880s maybe and try to find a short commander
9883s yeah exactly once you start leveling up
9885s you get into like the the the really
9887s strong spells right sure commander
9889s there's also the wind fury right which
9891s is huge if you you know that ends up
9893s being permanent so you can just drop
9894s wind furies on stuff if you need it yeah
9897s so yeah i completely agree and i found
9899s out that the hard way my first few games
9901s trying to just keep pressing the hero
9902s power and i got demolished oh yeah oh
9904s yeah very very true indeed looking at
9907s where we are now uh mx on the gale wing
9910s does get his discover uh this
9913s doesn't look great but soul juggler can
9916s help
9916s you know reduce the damage of this but
9919s oh he says to go for a pair
9921s okay i can get behind this honestly
9924s he has free refresh as well if he wants
9926s it
9932s is he going to user yep he is using it
9934s oh
9935s oh the briny brian is so good here
9938s well that worked out very well honey is
9940s stats and money
9943s i love stats and money
9946s yeah it's pretty huge actually that just
9948s went from a bit of a dodgy discover to
9950s just actually pop it off with pirates
9952s yeah nice and early uh
9955s okay that's the beauty of uh that's the
9957s beauty of um
9959s spell
9960s lobbies right because usually if you go
9962s on three or three you don't really have
9963s an option you have to either buy two you
9965s have to like sell and level but with
9967s spells with the prices in the game you
9969s can get the free refresh and maybe try
9971s to find a better shop
9972s yeah you can use gold for like recurring
9975s gold for rolling as well right there's
9977s there's there's a few options available
9979s uh here though for psytro uh he's taking
9982s the approach of just buying good stuff
9984s right now and he is he's reform so
9987s pressing that hero power making sense
9989s going for triples it's generally what
9990s you aim for for a farm and another early
9994s oh
9995s from uh from galakrond this is
9997s interesting because this is also a
9999s murloc lobby
10002s and um i think it's quite safe from
10005s gallacron not trying to go for a green
10007s spot
10009s and settling for a mythrax instead i
10012s think because
10014s uh river was already
10016s set up well for this right or at least
10018s from our view it looks like he was set
10020s up well i didn't see what his board was
10021s before but he has like what a mech a
10024s pirate um uh something else we already
10027s had the spread of minion types that was
10029s going to
10030s make mythrax sort of start to scale
10032s instantly oh there you go sorry naga was
10034s the other one so already getting those
10036s three minion types and then getting into
10038s myth racks like already a 10 10 and it's
10040s only going to get better so like to see
10042s that a lot but now we're jumping over to
10044s xqn on the sky captain crag with extra
10047s gold prize in hand as well so uh he's
10051s just raining money or will be
10053s xqm at some point and he has his hero
10055s power as well yeah i wonder xqm is quite
10058s a greedy player he goes for the high
10060s roll oh
10061s never mind
10062s oh he might be holding it
10065s is he going for the double level next
10066s turn
10068s mean
10069s why not that's what i say yeah it
10072s wouldn't be it would be very
10074s excuse to do this play
10076s well to be fair turn five he has some
10079s level let's say he gets to kill one of
10081s his opponents minions which i think is
10083s a reasonable ish shout um at this point
10086s he takes some damage who cares and then
10088s next turn things get nutty uh so i like
10091s this a lot still on 43 health with the
10093s help of the armor so even if he takes a
10095s hit here at worst he's going to be like
10098s roughly equal with everyone else anyway
10100s i like it
10102s let's see if it pays off the greed
10106s actually now i'm looking at dapido's
10108s board we'll see it right now he's taking
10112s very little damage here
10114s is dabido also holding a triple
10116s um we can look after this fight well
10119s maybe maybe we'll look at xq in first
10121s yeah let's see what xq does because this
10123s xcon turn could be crazy only six damage
10127s here this is really really good for xqn
10133s i think he's doing it
10136s ah he's doing it yeah i mean if he
10139s didn't do it then i'd wonder what he was
10140s waiting for right because that's just
10142s the turn to make it happen
10144s oh
10147s i mean we have a nosey looter which will
10149s which can help us hyrule but you really
10153s really don't want to feed that noisy
10154s looter to reform
10157s yeah that's he's facing refounder's turn
10159s it's like oh god no
10162s either we are gonna check in with a
10164s dappy here and see what's going on uh i
10167s guess this is his hero power choice
10169s right now because he's currently showing
10170s seven gold out of eight so looks like
10172s he's gonna hear a power and yeah look
10174s how much better these are now that he's
10175s at a bit of a higher tavern to electrify
10178s insane amounts of power along with the
10181s option of giving wind fury if you really
10183s wanted to anyway does get a deflector
10185s with a deflector in the shop yeah it's
10187s insane yeah really really good
10190s gonna have to be a plain blank annoying
10192s module but understandable won't want to
10194s taunt that deflector
10196s oh yeah oh actually
10198s uh i wouldn't hate that in this
10201s in this lobby with no beasts in i guess
10203s mechs are in and that's still
10204s problematic sometimes
10206s yeah and i think with the time and also
10208s with the um with the spell generation
10210s he's got and the permanence
10213s that annoyer module can just be a bigger
10216s dominion by itself right because it is
10218s going to grow
10219s yeah
10221s definitely he can just scale using his
10222s hero power every time yeah exactly
10225s okay okay there we go
10228s not the end of scene no
10232s i bet saito's eyes just lit up as soon
10235s as he saw it he's like hang on a minute
10238s this is insane does get the draw as well
10240s so it doesn't deal damage but also
10241s doesn't get sort of cheesed by the the
10243s looter right and and might have six
10245s damage come out of nowhere
10247s if you wanted the guaranteed um
10250s thievery like guaranteed theory he
10252s should have taken a test
10255s not reform
10256s because so little control what you steal
10258s with your farm
10259s this is still good though that's he's
10260s got a second triple in the shops that's
10262s two six drops right now and there's that
10264s loser if he wants it but there's also
10267s foreign pretty good options to be honest
10270s oh he decides to go for the high roll
10272s too
10273s he decides it's early enough in the game
10276s and he's safe enough still on 40 health
10278s when we're looking at like dappy on 21
10281s uh
10282s because you're on 29 as well relatively
10285s low gets offered another uther i think i
10287s like the eutha here but maybe i just
10289s like this card too much yeah i know you
10291s love uffa yeah i've noticed
10294s it's just good it's just stats just
10295s getting stats on there
10299s oh
10300s we still have that spell saved
10303s price saves from turn four
10307s we wanted it to try and like look for a
10309s specific triple in the future i guess
10312s yeah that's smart
10314s uh he goes for the mug buster with the
10316s module in the shop which makes makes
10318s sense and he has uh two mechs already
10322s checking back in with mx with the uh
10325s mx is trying to do naga
10327s yeah hang on a minute i was so confused
10328s i thought this was the mythrax from
10330s earlier but it isn't it's a news
10332s because that was 10 10 about three turns
10334s ago what happened uh but yeah this was
10336s the uh the uh the discover pirates right
10338s we saw earlier on so a bit of a
10340s menagerie switching over to naga by
10342s looks of things but bit of a mess but a
10344s strong mess i would say for now i think
10347s he's in a really good position because
10348s he's um quite high health as well so
10351s with that orgasm on board maybe he can a
10353s level to six and try to find a feature
10356s like that
10357s yeah i think so
10359s here we go a lot of this damage though
10364s xqm with the
10367s mechanotank the pew pew build
10370s trying to save some health oh 15. oh
10373s that's a billion damage isn't it
10375s yeah two billion i think that one that
10377s be also going down 10 million nine
10380s nappy's got all the work in the world to
10383s do right now if he wants to stay alive
10385s because no one's even close yeah he
10387s needs to do some magic some uh daffodil
10389s magic
10392s oh xqm goes oh that was that did you see
10395s how fast it was
10398s it's a pretty tall there was only one
10400s choice yeah it's a pretty nice triple
10402s too the jug yeah
10407s he has three minions on board he's
10408s deciding what to do here
10411s deciding where he wants to buff the uh
10413s the green spot
10415s maybe he's thinking about selling the
10417s tank probably not yeah if he wants to
10420s like force the buff onto something
10422s instead
10423s oh
10425s and there's the second grey spot you see
10427s here we go there we go there we go
10428s that's the xq and uh
10430s xcode hit some trouble a little bit
10432s earlier not really popping off with the
10434s nosy but my oh my
10437s if he can just not die
10439s that board's just going to be good
10440s enough
10441s this is a bit scary for davido to be
10443s honest because he just bought a mackerel
10446s as well
10448s oh these are not great options
10456s yeah honestly we don't even have a reset
10460s right this is very sketchy like this
10462s game dappy just didn't hit right like
10464s you just didn't get hold of anything you
10466s needed to get hold of maybe pressing
10468s that hero power a few too many times
10470s also has a great spot and plenty of
10474s divine shields and what i think is
10476s really good for him here is the beefy
10479s myth racks is enough to probably let
10482s give the green spot time to ramp
10484s everything up right and to scale
10486s everything
10487s because that mythrax will probably carry
10489s enough for the next turn or two uh to
10491s allow that to happen so i like to see
10492s that a lot don't execute is a very good
10494s position at the moment
10496s it has so much free scaling double
10499s grease spots
10501s oh
10506s look at that mackerel it's a six-four
10509s oh now
10511s it's gonna get bigger
10513s oh no dead he is very very dead and
10518s decent amount of scaling as well
10520s sometimes it can be annoying to heavily
10522s win a fight because you don't get to
10524s scale in some circumstances uh but xqn
10527s ticked all the boxes there dappy uh
10530s player i feel bad now i've been talking
10532s up a lot uh taking the eighth on game
10535s number one and don't get me wrong though
10537s he is more than capable of fighting back
10539s and making it through regardless
10541s definitely we've seen that we saw that
10542s happen uh last uh in the lobby a right i
10546s think with haninbo or
10548s oleak who was uh eighth and then they
10551s managed to claw back a lot of
10557s i throw now there is a baron in the shop
10560s i think he was hoping to maybe find ufa
10562s your favorite and buffett buff the baron
10566s oh another a mega buster
10570s we see a megabus and it's also a
10572s mackerel um
10574s yeah and one omega buster's already
10576s taunted up and ever
10577s and sorted out basically for the game so
10580s the first one can uh take that first
10582s place spot as well
10584s this is looking promising
10587s you have the atheista there for mx he
10589s did manage to find it
10592s now he just needs to get rolling luckily
10594s he does have 32 health which is you know
10597s means that because just one of this it
10599s does take a while now right to actually
10601s get rolling uh it does mean that he's
10604s likely to have enough time to make a
10606s real impact but i think he needs just
10608s one of the actual scaling minions like
10611s maybe a brute or something
10613s if he decides he needs stats
10615s i don't think he needs a brood with this
10618s board he has two orgas he has a lot of
10620s money and spell crafts to work with
10622s every turn but maybe at least i think
10625s the goal is to find more offices
10628s because a brute is nice it scales but it
10630s doesn't give you spellcraft minions
10631s right so it doesn't help your face a
10633s scale
10634s yeah it is basically that that was
10635s always the that's the kind of the fun
10637s trick with naga is what should your
10640s actual board state look like in the end
10642s right how many spellcraft generation
10644s versus like how many just big minions if
10646s that's the case yeah that's the thing
10648s you have to balance you don't want too
10650s many big minions but you also don't want
10652s um
10654s yeah no spellcraft
10656s well either way
10658s this looks pretty strong here from
10660s sideshow picking about second buster
10662s he did have the baron right or was that
10664s someone else i think this might be the
10665s end off
10668s unfortunately guff's buffs was not
10670s enough
10672s at least not from this lobby yeah
10677s that doesn't mean that kidzil is going
10678s to go out in seventh place and no one
10681s else to join him that round so so far
10683s the knockouts have been very clean no
10685s split points for now
10687s their
10688s river is looking a little bit worse for
10690s where on nine health right now
10693s oh are we going to see golden green spot
10695s no but there is an oof uh there's a
10698s module in the shop
10701s but what would you even module up oh he
10703s decides to skip the module
10710s oh there's a war gears interesting right
10713s but i think we want we want resets we
10715s haven't we don't have any resets at the
10717s moment
10718s but we still have money to roll because
10720s we have the gambler in hand oh double
10722s double green spot
10725s peter vivette
10728s this looks familiar does it look
10729s familiar to you i feel like i've seen
10730s this already
10731s um i think so yes there are too many
10734s bubbles on this screen for me uh but
10737s yeah this is looking quite strong but
10740s again this is where things get a little
10741s bit spicy we've got a few players now
10744s having access to grease bots of some
10747s kind of you know multiple number or not
10750s but it's how the players will then as we
10752s get to later in the game how they
10754s actually break those matchups right is
10757s it just going to be whoever has the most
10759s stats or is someone going to try and
10761s peel away and you know play more leroys
10763s or do anything like that it's it's going
10765s to be really really tricky and i think
10767s that's the difficulty at the moment with
10769s mechs being as strong as they are is
10772s breaking that comp feels very difficult
10775s right now
10777s yeah i think um at the moment we see
10779s beaters and exq and sports are quite
10782s similar both have double grease pods and
10783s macros and
10785s uh deflectors but the
10787s difference between bitter babbitt and
10788s xqm is that bitter has a lot of resets
10791s i think he has
10793s four of his minions menace
10795s so
10796s looking um more promising to me but he
10799s also has his macro taunted
10802s which is a bit sketchy as always you
10804s know with zero in the game and once the
10806s opponent knows you have the taunted
10808s macro they can play around it yeah it's
10811s definitely tricky right because the
10812s taunted mackerel is great for a certain
10815s amount of time and then it becomes dicey
10817s so it's not like taunting your mackerel
10820s is always wrong it's just that it bites
10822s you a little bit in the late game oh
10824s there's so much scaling i love it
10828s those little deflectors were small at
10830s the beginning of this fight
10832s which is that 24
10835s oh
10836s ouch and there's no ghost football gene
10840s and now we see um double crochet down to
10842s two
10843s did he lose his fight
10846s i am sure he was not at two health going
10848s into that fight then yeah that's the
10850s problem i think he has no reason oh
10851s there's a reset
10853s but do we have money to buy it
10857s and sell the nose this is so risky
10861s he could sell the nosy but he plays a
10863s minion down which is
10866s obviously not great knowing what
10868s bittersport is and seeing xq's board i
10871s think xq and this might be out this turn
10874s yeah and it looks like actually xqm did
10877s take
10878s uh quote a million from reform in the
10881s post fight so um
10883s yeah he he took a lot from uh
10886s from saito actually who is the player
10888s who's actually got the more sort of
10889s old-school omega buster build
10892s as opposed to just going for the uh
10894s response
10898s [Music]
10900s i think yeah it's at the moment if you
10902s hover over your opponent and you see max
10904s you're going to expect three spots right
10906s so maybe xq and thought i have two
10908s grease walls there's no way they can
10909s have two greasy spots as well so i'll
10911s outscale them but he probably didn't
10912s expect a um a mega buster build
10915s and interestingly enough as we can see
10917s these naga just starting to do the
10919s things naga want to do with the second
10920s attessa from mx uh beta babbitt actually
10924s has
10925s chosen a direction to go in terms of
10927s counter play he does uh he picked up a
10929s seven this turn and actually has added
10932s that to the board the rest of the board
10933s still divine shielded mechs of course
10935s with the grace parts but he's picked up
10937s the seven so that's one route he's
10939s choosing to go here to try and maybe get
10941s an extra kill or two i don't think his
10943s tiffin is going to get poison
10946s are you too strong because everything is
10948s shielded
10950s nothing is going to die
10952s before that certain attacks
10954s true
10955s is he going i'm not sure who is against
10959s that
10960s that was a great cleave
10962s just back though is it enough it's like
10965s terminator 2.
10971s something that always annoys me when i'm
10972s against this kind of a buster board he's
10974s like why is there a little microbot with
10976s 30 attack
10978s what's going on here that can't be right
10980s well that's the beauty of a mega buster
10982s and byron
10983s oh big win there for mx though taking
10985s down psytro to all the way down to 13
10988s health absolutely huge and xqn looks
10991s like he's on his uh last breath right
10993s now because i think that is simply
10995s enough to finish him off well yeah he's
10997s at two health any any loss is enough
11000s unfortunately
11003s let's see oh he's gonna go out joint
11005s with zunu as well
11007s i believe so that's at least
11009s um you know a positive or negative
11011s depending on your mindset towards life
11013s oh yeah it must suck so much for showing
11016s you to deal 2 billion damage first and
11018s one turn and the next turn to go out
11021s it knocks out
11022s it is best do you see the prize is
11024s offered now though
11027s these are the turns where truly silly
11028s things can happen
11030s we're going for a three drop
11032s what do you think he's looking for
11035s i was about to ask you the same question
11037s i would have auto clicked the five one
11039s but um
11041s but yeah really surprised with that
11044s what three drop would he actually want
11046s um i need to see his board because it's
11049s currently blocked
11051s let me have a look
11052s i can see it
11054s um
11056s i'm confused oh maybe menace he could be
11059s looking for a menace voice deflector
11061s yeah i think that's what he's looking
11062s for
11064s mystery solved
11067s oh hero power here
11069s is embrace the elements just okay if
11071s you're facing max
11073s the storm
11076s yeah it's kind of nice to have um
11079s a shield popper that only pops your
11081s opponent's shields right and not your
11082s own exactly and i think for me
11085s and it doesn't take away from your board
11087s space either yeah we can talk about how
11089s good the prakan hero power is but i
11091s think when you put it next to these two
11093s it's just simply the best right
11095s if it's a choice between those three
11097s hero powers so i'd be surprised if that
11099s one's not picked but meanwhile we're
11101s gonna go back checking with mx and he's
11102s gonna give us some naga scaling action
11105s we'll have golden atheista golden
11107s orgazoa
11108s that's juicy juicy
11110s they're coming back in on river he's
11112s still staring at these zero packs it's
11114s been 10 years and he hasn't picked yet
11117s there we go oh
11118s you called it
11122s yeah five random minions nice huge when
11126s you guys at home can't see this but i
11128s can see all of the boards and there's a
11131s lot of bubbles so uh this hero power
11133s absolutely huge weirdly enough facing
11135s one of the few players that only has two
11137s divine shields
11140s let's see if it's enough or if these
11142s omega busters are gonna scale out
11145s oh i think it might be enough it's hard
11149s to tell isn't it
11151s i am a rubbish with buster boards and uh
11155s and judging how strong they actually are
11158s honestly i'm rubbish because whenever i
11160s think i'm stronger than them they just
11162s beat me and i don't know how oh by the
11165s baron never getting sniped you mean
11167s yeah they they just have more stats and
11169s i'm like well i'm pretty sure i'm ahead
11171s and then i lose
11172s oh that's crazy look at this microbot
11174s what's it doing 34 health
11177s so much damage and it's a oh no it's a
11179s token
11181s wait is that death no no it's eight
11183s right alive eight
11185s we're still in the game
11187s just
11189s holding on and no one died welcome back
11192s how's it going hence
11194s we have uh bottom two players facing
11197s each other both one at six one at one so
11200s one someone's definitely uh getting
11202s knocked out this turn
11207s is it time for the sensor to go
11209s i think it might it's not looking great
11212s all his friends have grown up and he's
11214s still five three
11217s yeah it is a reset that's the only reset
11219s we have unfortunately
11222s uh there's one on one of the deflectors
11224s but of course you don't want the
11225s deflector to die right yeah yeah you are
11228s right ideally you want bananas on each
11230s deflector and maybe a menace on the
11233s greaseport as well
11236s let's start
11237s taunting the leroy up i think yeah a
11239s tiny bit of gold to work with there oh
11241s yeah mx my new favorite player not only
11244s just jamming naga but just jamming
11246s uthers as well
11247s at the end of days
11249s is the uh zap getting buffed do you
11251s think byufa
11253s well if it's anything else it seems like
11255s a negative so i hope so maybe you're
11257s holding on for something better you used
11259s to triple
11262s really
11263s the greasepot
11266s the word
11278s what are we going to hear about is it
11279s the the mounted maybe the mounted
11282s for justice
11284s maybe i mean there is just two right so
11287s he could choose to sell the tunnel
11290s blaster but there's no space to actually
11292s oh you know you could play the youth are
11294s on the mounted right of course yeah
11295s inside that way but decided not to go
11297s for it
11299s this
11304s he doesn't know the lyrics being not
11305s haunted and
11311s [Applause]
11313s buffed oh it's not oh no it didn't die
11318s oh wait it could still work out this is
11321s pretty good
11322s depending on where this cliff hits oh
11324s that was the best sleeve possible oh
11326s that was pretty bad
11329s did it feel both shields though i think
11331s it's still enough because this is just
11333s too thick yeah
11335s the stats just get there i will say
11338s though good stall there for river
11340s hanging on by a thread to get that
11342s fourth place and that is a solid game
11344s one that is a good amount of points yeah
11346s that's what you need to do
11348s exactly uh beats a babbitt looking
11351s strong just
11353s just makes me laugh that just every play
11355s this isn't the battlegrounds i remember
11357s where like you know a 2020 was a big
11359s minion at one point but this is just
11361s like well if you've not got above 50
11362s stats who are you really um this scaling
11365s level is truly ridiculous at this point
11368s and peter babbitt's just gonna keep on
11370s fighting easily enough stats to just
11372s decimate saitron reform yeah there's
11375s still more scaling
11377s oh you know i've been um asking for
11379s greenspot to be unearthed for so long
11382s but i did not expect this
11385s let's say so you want the power take it
11388s all
11390s back to plus two plus one on tier four
11394s either green spots not in the game or
11396s it's your robot overlord
11399s there is no middle ground whatsoever but
11401s saitro is gonna be knocked out uh in
11403s third place again very strong
11405s performance any of these top four
11407s players are going to be happy with the
11408s result but beta babbitt is going to be
11410s going up against mx and we actually have
11413s next versus naga so not actually just
11416s divine shields endlessly smashing into
11418s each other uh it is going to be two
11420s actual different comps and
11422s i think the mx isn't big enough here to
11426s actually take b to babbitt down um but i
11429s think it's going to be a good effort
11431s especially with this full reaper getting
11433s work done
11434s fall reaper is a bit small i think
11437s because the four reaper positioning is
11439s not good oh you changed it
11442s fine shield as well means the uh with
11444s fury could just pop off
11446s well divine shield doesn't matter
11448s because we have
11450s tunnel blaster right oh true the tunnel
11452s boss is gonna go and he doesn't know
11454s that peter has a huge
11457s huge taunted micro oh yeah i think he
11460s guessed it
11462s oh but bit is playing around that by
11464s having two tons of minions now
11469s and could have three if he really wants
11470s it
11471s that's true looks like you can get a
11473s triple i don't know if he does want it
11475s but he could have it
11477s he could just play it naked but i don't
11480s know if he'll do that
11484s i mean the big thing here for beta
11486s though is
11487s he needs to win one fight right because
11489s mx will just die if he loses the fight
11492s so he
11494s i don't want to say he doesn't have to
11495s think about the long game but you
11497s understand what i mean right whereas mx
11501s potentially has to actually kill him
11502s twice
11505s that was a really good hit for mx
11508s so
11508s now peter's uh
11510s big greasepot dies
11516s and oh his macromagic snipe oh it did
11519s not
11527s a full reaper is not even big enough to
11529s kill the mackerel
11531s and with the token summons as well it
11534s the cleave achieved almost nothing and
11537s that means that beta baba is going to
11540s take game number one with a lot of
11542s health despair as well the grease box
11545s popping off i think mx did a great job
11547s of very early in the game and going for
11550s those naga and saying you know what even
11553s if this doesn't get me first if i just
11555s have free access to naga which is one of
11557s the benefits of not going for the the
11559s minion type everyone's going for and
11561s then i'll be stronger enough to get a
11563s good placement and guess what he got
11565s second place so looked good to me but
11568s any yeah big things from uh game number
11570s one of this lobby for you nina
11572s um
11573s i don't know i think i guess it's just
11575s i'm happy for the greaseport overlord
11579s at the moment um
11581s i think it's pretty good for casual
11583s players when the matter is like this
11584s because if mexican you know what you
11586s need to do right you just go for that
11588s and you have direction but
11591s for uh maybe higher mmr players it might
11594s be a little bit frustrating you know
11596s trying to
11598s do the same thing every game
11600s but uh i'm not complaining i'm happy to
11602s see greece what had
11604s have its time in the sun
11606s i will say i am one of maybe the strange
11608s group of people that enjoy metas that
11612s are very slanted one way all right so
11614s like i loved the uh the pig meta when it
11617s first came out i loved the naga meta
11619s when it first came out uh greasepot's
11622s pretty cool right now as well i do think
11625s some of the uh big question marks for me
11628s uh there's two big ones actually right
11629s now uh dappy of course getting just
11631s obliterated game one basically um is a
11635s very unexpected based on his previous
11637s performance but he's still got time to
11638s fight back and then also xqn uh one of
11642s the first names mentioned when you
11644s mention battlegrounds to anyone right is
11646s xqn right now
11648s and he yeah sixth place isn't terrible
11650s by any means but i think
11653s that the nature of how well known he is
11655s how everyone knows that he's just very
11658s very good at the game it almost feels
11660s like just a natural reaction to be
11662s surprised that he's like xq sick uh you
11665s know that'll be like it's just a sort of
11667s weird natural response even at six in
11670s just one game of a set of three isn't
11672s terrible by any means it just looks
11674s weird seeing his name there
11676s yeah it's true xqn is definitely one of
11680s the best lighter players but the
11682s tournament matters can be quite
11684s different to ladder you can't be usually
11687s you can't be as greedy as you are on
11688s ladder and xq is a very greedy player
11691s and the thing is he actually high rolled
11694s this game right he got grease spots but
11696s he just didn't get enough response
11699s yeah there was just i think the problem
11701s is whenever you do
11702s accelerate your game plan and play a
11704s little bit greedy even if you get the
11706s result you're looking for there's often
11708s still a small window right where you're
11711s not powered up yeah if you get hit hard
11713s in that window well you just die before
11715s you get going right which is a huge huge
11716s deal so there we are there are the
11718s standings after game number one uh be a
11721s babbitt just getting the job done so
11723s many stats uh but yeah another shout out
11726s to mx i think uh
11728s him on the naga and just saying that's
11730s good enough again something you
11731s mentioned where ladder isn't the same as
11734s tournament yes because
11736s in tournament i think that's a potential
11738s plan to say well if everyone's going to
11739s go max
11741s not everyone can get mex because there
11743s aren't enough of the good ones yes if i
11745s just take another minion type
11747s and get top four
11749s sweet like great like there's some
11750s points got the cash chain and you make
11753s definitely paid off the strategy yeah
11754s 100 because you make that choice based
11757s on well if you're handed mex you take
11758s them of course
11760s if you don't yeah i think this is done
11761s very very well we see some split points
11763s as well between cytron reba and um xqn
11766s and jun you too so uh very very close so
11770s far
11771s and will be very interesting to see how
11773s the numbers change after game number two
11775s but uh definitely a lot of work to do
11778s for us i think especially kids you'll
11779s hear uh hakase and uh dappy as well but
11782s for now as usual as you may have guessed
11784s by now we're gonna go to a break while
11786s we set up game number two don't go
11788s anywhere and we'll be right back in a
11790s bit
11791s [Music]
11815s [Music]
11820s [Music]
11828s [Music]
11836s so
11840s [Music]
11855s [Music]
11865s so
11868s [Music]
11879s so
11883s [Music]
11895s [Music]
11903s [Music]
11921s [Music]
11929s [Music]
11939s [Music]

11969s [Music]
11974s [Applause]
11977s so
11985s [Music]
11989s welcome back everyone we are getting
11991s ready to go into game number two of the
11994s second lobby of the day and i guess the
11996s final lobby of the day because that's
11997s how two lobbies work uh we are going to
11999s see as the top four players will move
12002s through to tomorrow and then we're going
12004s to be playing the check format out on
12006s the final day which is tomorrow which
12007s we'll explain a little bit more later
12009s but it does shake up the overall game
12012s plan because for now we'll look at these
12013s players that are really just doing
12015s everything they possibly can to finish
12017s top four in points after those three
12020s games so we've seen mech lobbies we've
12023s seen some naga and poison get some work
12025s done as expected but nina is this next
12028s game going to be beasts
12030s i really hope so i hope
12033s megs are going to be banned because
12035s we've seen enough mac dominations i
12037s think so far
12040s so yeah i'm hoping for some beast
12042s lobbies and i'm looking forward to
12044s seeing uh dabido play maybe he'll make a
12047s comeback i have faith in that
12049s okay well you know your job by now nina
12051s take us through the hero options for the
12053s players did you jump into game two i
12055s mean there's only one option right xq
12057s ends this insta-picked baroff it looks
12060s like
12061s um
12062s we have a shunyu on a test i'm guessing
12065s this is another mac lobby yes oh this is
12068s another mclubby
12070s is it not smack lobby no it's not the
12071s mclubby and it's not bc either though oh
12074s no no beast maybe next game
12077s okay well with no mechs and no beasts
12080s basically there's points oh wait no
12083s murlocs either we have dabido on lady
12085s vash again um hopefully she'll perform
12088s for him better this game
12090s we have cetra on
12092s um
12094s curator
12097s we've uh no max and no
12099s murlocs that's an interesting choice and
12102s then showing you on uh tess
12104s reba on zephyrus
12107s this is an interesting zephyrs lobby i
12110s guess you can try to go for know me be
12113s um i want to see a nominee game actually
12116s we haven't seen an elemental game yet
12119s and then we have kidro on
12121s um
12122s gallywix
12124s this is actually a really really good
12126s gallywix lobby we have pirates in and we
12129s have elementals in uh so yeah maybe
12131s we'll get to see apm pirate game
12134s and then we have mx on vogin
12137s vogin is
12139s uh interesting without megs but we do
12141s have
12142s nagas in right we have nagas and we'll
12144s have quillboards in and virgin can
12146s perform really very well with those
12148s tribes
12149s all right well let's see
12151s what is going on there there are prizes
12154s as well in the lobby just as a quick
12156s reminder we don't actually have a
12157s graphic for that so i'm sure we'll add
12159s one if prize is still knocking around by
12161s the next lobby legends
12163s i'm making promises that i definitely
12165s have no influence on whatsoever okay
12167s but yeah definitely uh gonna be another
12170s spicy one like none not the most
12172s powerful minion types in the game but
12175s there are still prizes available which
12177s if anything to me prizes feel like they
12179s have even more impact on a game like
12182s this with these mini types oh we have a
12185s river with a double tavern tipper start
12189s and i forgot to mention peter babbitt on
12191s gelwing as well
12193s and it looks like he's going to be doing
12195s a three-on-three curve here and we have
12198s already a triple tavern tipper in the
12200s shop
12202s so river doesn't even need to use his
12204s hero power to triple it that's pretty
12206s nice isn't it
12209s yeah i'm actually wondering is
12211s there a
12213s buy the swabby play it sell it level
12216s please
12218s i think with the double
12220s tavern tipper
12221s start you want to play reform curve
12225s but instead of hero powering using your
12228s golden hero power well you can't really
12230s hear but you just leave one gold
12233s floating
12235s and that will scale your
12237s tavern tippers quite a lot so here he
12239s will want to freeze and then next turn
12241s he will just level and buy
12244s you're doing great out there unless he
12245s wants to go for a three drop but i doubt
12247s it okay yeah this one
12249s yeah it's just similar to what i was
12250s looking at so you just get rid of the
12252s swabbie you'd have one minion less but
12253s yeah this still kind of does the job
12256s it's just whether to get the leveling
12257s done on the previous turn or the one
12259s coming up so rivers gonna stop there
12262s still win the fight
12264s tiny bits of damage but most importantly
12265s just get himself set up for future tense
12269s oh and we have a pair in the shop that's
12272s very very nice for ribbon
12278s oh we see bitterbabit uh find the sister
12281s phrase i love jim spitzer
12284s you know what divine shield is my
12286s favorite minion type
12288s divine shield's a minion type okay i
12291s didn't see that one we have to get an
12292s icon added
12299s yeah divine shield extremely strong in
12302s the game that's why i love george george
12304s is one of my favorite heroes
12306s i really like george in there in the
12308s body meta because that was just
12311s oh no no george was horrible in the
12312s bloody method i liked it because he was
12314s just too slow the body might uh um
12317s he never got going properly in the buddy
12319s mattress
12320s i guess at my the the mid game was good
12322s enough
12324s to win games
12326s george was amazing during the tongkong
12328s meta
12330s right and harbinger was in the game you
12331s had champion you had arm you had argus
12335s it was great good times
12337s hey that was your new it's just going to
12339s start stacking up again as tessie can
12342s pretty much take his choice just staring
12345s at
12346s what all of the boards look like at the
12348s moment there are definitely elementals
12350s left right and center for most players
12352s uh with a sprinkling of naga across the
12355s board as well so they're always good
12357s options and actually on a lot of boards
12359s there's tons of pairs as well
12362s which is obviously something to bear in
12364s mind for tess in the fact that you you
12366s might have the one that's needed for
12368s triple or just buying pairs that are
12370s good anyway it could very much be
12372s worthwhile especially the the early ones
12374s right like the us elementals and some of
12376s them yeah sentimentals are the
12379s uh shell collectors all very good
12381s basically everything that gives you
12383s value gives you some kind of econ
12386s oh this is not great
12389s but are we going for another wardrobe
12393s yep we're going for another foot drop
12396s oh
12399s wonka is not too bad
12403s and we have another pair as well to work
12404s with
12406s and this is quite a good pair because a
12408s lot of people will have picked it up oh
12410s there we go we have a triple in the show
12416s oh vujan's ready triple into a critter
12418s wrangler
12420s wow
12425s oh and look suddenly it's not a tutu
12427s anymore
12430s yeah
12431s that is
12432s pretty ridiculous actually i'm just sat
12434s staring at the wrangler thinking wow and
12436s now it's permanent for his hero power to
12438s start a permanent yeah if there's a just
12440s a couple more spells that mx can get
12443s hold of
12444s uh this is pretty much gonna save up for
12447s the majority of the game especially
12449s because at any given point when he gets
12451s a better minion he just swaps the stats
12454s off this elemental right onto the the
12456s better minion and just keeps cycling
12458s like that yep kind of crazy yeah and
12461s also uh sorry uh and also whilst pushing
12464s this level of damage this early right
12466s like because if the critter wrangler
12468s lives that's just five extra damage out
12470s of nowhere
12472s yeah he's in a really good position
12476s and now he needs to find some more uh
12478s spellcraft cards
12480s but he's also looking at that peggy the
12482s peggy
12484s oh he's decided to take the peggy
12493s yeah we might be going on the peggy
12497s or the uh salty looter oh no it's going
12500s for the
12502s refresh recycling rafe
12505s justin i did wonder whether he's gonna
12507s buy the pig or not just to get the extra
12509s spell
12510s um oh i think it's very unlikely to get
12513s the spell at this point with four health
12515s no but swap the stats onto the pig right
12517s so the pig's huge and then you you pop
12520s in peggy every turn and then you have to
12522s spell with the thing it's not amazing
12524s don't get me wrong yeah i can't see that
12526s i just wondered if it's just better than
12529s the elemental that's like well if you
12531s buy elementors you get a free refresh
12533s whereas that would give you a blood gem
12535s every turn right
12536s i think it would be really nice because
12538s he's picked up a peggy he's picked up a
12540s salty looter so if he finds elementals
12542s that's a lot of stats
12544s on the salty looter and free refresh
12546s which is always nice
12548s wait how long has this tip have been
12550s frozen
12551s in this shot this tip has just got
12553s hypothermia at this point because it's
12555s been stuck around i swear from like turn
12557s three or something yeah but look at it
12559s uh he hasn't really taken that much
12561s damage because of how much scaling
12562s they're actually doing
12564s oh it 100 makes sense it's just these
12567s four drops look at this
12569s four drops word give me tavern tipper
12572s oh no never mind
12576s the attribute has just destroyed the
12577s boys yeah oh my god that was insane
12580s eight damage coming through as well
12582s suddenly reba does have to start doing
12584s things but again i think he's been
12586s focusing on just uh getting the tavern
12588s to upright him sitting on four now has
12590s the option to um
12593s maybe go for the triple it's a shame his
12595s this prize isn't the gold
12598s instead of the re-rolls that could have
12600s helped him out a lot this time what do
12602s you think do you think he's going for
12603s five or six he's thinking about it he's
12605s thinking hard
12607s oh i'd be a
12609s i'm not sure i guess it depends on what
12611s he thinks of gallywix right uh kishore
12614s we think that's not
12622s if i take another hit i'm moving towards
12624s the late teens
12625s yeah this is not great
12628s these are these options are pretty bad
12632s yeah mermaids
12634s just the best guard there's a pair in
12636s the shop now and he's playing
12640s zephyrus
12643s oh there's a myth frags and also tavern
12645s tipper for money but these ah these are
12647s not what you want to see when you triple
12649s into five right you want to see
12650s something that will help you win the
12652s game you want to see some hogars you
12654s want to see maybe
12656s um a nomi i don't double know me would
12659s have been amazing because he could use
12660s his hero power to triple it
12662s but uh yeah
12665s those were not nice triples they did not
12667s spark joy
12669s now just
12671s got a mixed bag does have the peggy
12673s there but still just there nothing too
12676s crazy and then an oddly varied board
12679s considering the hero he's playing right
12682s he's playing tess and yet he just has
12684s this sort of here's some good card sport
12686s which is still fine but just surprising
12689s that's all
12690s yeah
12691s i guess he hasn't already faced someone
12693s um
12694s like a high road they can steal from and
12696s also because this is a no-mecca lobby
12698s everyone's doing different things yeah
12700s and it's pretty hard for him to
12703s steal like a full comp
12705s yeah even at a glance i'm looking at one
12707s board that's pirates as their kidzil
12709s does have hogga right now and one board
12712s naga one board elementals one board
12715s dragons weirdly enough to an extent
12717s another elemental board that's half
12719s um pigs as well like very mixed bags so
12723s far and dappy
12724s once again
12727s at
12729s is real i should have just showed up and
12731s not mentioned that i thought he was good
12734s oh no maybe he can still oh no what is
12736s this
12738s he's got eliza and his uh zerus turned
12740s into a gold grubber right oh part of the
12742s plan that's a pirate oh
12744s this does not look good especially
12746s against a gallywix
12749s who tripled into a hogar
12754s a few turns ago he's had the hoga
12756s kitchen had the hogar for a few turns
12758s now
12759s oh oh there's a scallywag
12762s and there's also a
12764s khadgar
12766s but
12767s i don't know if we can get any value out
12769s of this khadgar because we have no tones
12772s and we have no board space we can't play
12774s six minions because that's too risky
12777s right because we have no tons and maybe
12779s he was trying to find the taunt with his
12781s hero power but
12783s yeah weirdly enough fortunately did not
12784s happen if what i'm looking at is correct
12788s uh dappy isn't
12791s so far behind going up against cajole
12793s this turn
12795s yeah i'm looking at the kitchen's board
12797s and i'm a bit confused by it
12799s what is happening
12800s oh okay still go he's still doing the
12802s turn okay
12804s that explains some things you're
12806s actually right it does this does not
12808s look too strong to me but he does have a
12811s arm
12812s doing some arm scaling yeah
12815s actually with no mechs and no beast like
12817s i said the arm comp is pretty good
12819s especially if you can taunt up some
12820s divine shield minions
12822s yeah this is looking okay it's not i
12825s wouldn't say it's 100 just by eyeballing
12827s it that dappy dies but i think it could
12829s be very likely just because the brute's
12831s so big
12834s i think uh
12836s we did end on catka i didn't even see
12838s that
12839s yeah oh no
12841s oh this is the end one face
12843s oh no
12845s oh no we see kids
12847s doing a little a little smile there
12850s and look how much those tokens fed the
12852s brute as well with the arm the brute's
12855s got so much attack from that fight oh
12857s look at him he's so happy oh wow
12861s there goes dappy and even though i'm the
12864s biggest believer
12865s in there's always a time to to get back
12868s into the fight daffy's just eighth
12870s placed twice
12873s doesn't fill me with hope if i'm gonna
12874s be completely honest
12876s yeah i think at this point um
12880s the only thing dapido can probably do is
12883s try to win the next game and end it on a
12885s high and try again next uh next lobby
12888s legends maybe
12889s and i'm sure he'll be back again because
12893s he's qualified every single lobby legend
12895s so far
12896s except the very first one i think
12898s i'm also just uh this is huge here from
12901s kitchen right hugger refreshing
12902s elemental and mommy he's just making it
12905s or going to make a hard switch he
12908s actually had so much gold this time
12912s that's the beauty of galiwicz
12914s yeah you are so rich
12918s he is against curator at this turn
12921s against saitro
12924s winnable
12925s yeah he's also doing you know me but oh
12928s look at his minions it's so small
12929s compared to gallywix and that's the
12931s thing normally this feels too late to
12934s switch on to know me right but as
12936s gallywix you have a million gold so you
12939s can basically do
12940s two what two and a half turns worth of
12942s stuff
12943s in one turn so you actually make up the
12946s ground you lose
12947s in like one actual turn of the game it's
12950s kind of nutty as you can see here right
12951s when we we looked at the amalgam
12954s you see what's happening do you see what
12955s xq1 is trying to do
12957s i said time to go for ap and pirates
12960s uh i thought you were gonna keep talking
12962s about divine shields again
12963s no i mean i love divine shields but oh
12966s no that's a big mammoth though
12970s it's huge
12975s maybe
12976s you know there's a tip
12979s you can find out whether you actually
12981s golden your uh pirate or not
12984s one
12985s this is um a tip yeah like that not a
12988s lot of players know this i learned it
12990s from jay kirig and it's basically when
12992s the fight starts if you hover over the
12996s card you want to go then and nothing
12998s comes up it means it's golden but if the
13000s text comes up it means it didn't golden
13002s tactical
13005s i've seen a couple of players like go
13006s hover hover hover
13008s you know at the start of a fight that
13009s makes sense oh one now i understand i
13011s learned a thing today
13014s i'm sure chat did too
13016s i hope so casual popping off again
13021s that's just for some reason got 28
13024s attack and health uh this is looking
13027s pretty crazy still got the close scale
13029s as well for the divine shield
13033s we need to survive if we can survive
13035s this we're in a very strong position oh
13037s cause yeah obviously is just fine and
13040s another elemental in the shop right
13042s because these are stats are starting to
13043s get big yeah oh he decided to sell the
13046s hoga actually
13049s that makes sense because he's not
13050s getting a lot of value of that hogan
13052s it's getting quite small he doesn't have
13053s any other pirates and he has a recycling
13056s rafe to help him uh utilize his gold i
13059s didn't like that
13060s here's a gold for the truck
13063s apm
13067s uh golden hoga actually is not really ap
13069s and pirates build it's the golden hoga
13071s plus a darkest elder build
13074s which it can
13076s get pretty out of control if you do it
13078s well
13079s and also
13081s you go yeah it's also with a wildfire
13083s elemental as well right it's like really
13084s nice for this just because of the amount
13086s of extra attack and stats that can
13088s actually be kicked out here means that
13089s that first sort of cleave attack is
13091s going to be brutal in most matchups yeah
13095s i'm ticking every box right now
13097s and not a lot of people are going to be
13098s expecting cleave because both beasts and
13100s max are out those are the typical
13102s cleaves you'd be scared of
13114s attacks in the right order
13116s the cleave well didn't really do much
13118s but whatever it does enough the stats
13120s are just there and that is a huge fight
13124s win there for xqx
13126s i think zephyrus is old
13128s maybe
13129s a million a billion damage yes
13132s oh and that's gonna be tess gone as well
13134s again like we said yeah shouldn't you
13137s untest just it never really felt like he
13139s got going with anything significant so
13142s just like that two more players bite the
13144s dust kishil is on to health but does
13148s feel strong
13149s and then honestly xqm
13153s just has endless things to do every turn
13156s uh kids
13157s did make the big switch there is still
13159s popping off with gallywix but he simply
13162s cannot lose a fight and right now
13166s although the stats look good kishore
13168s doesn't actually have the good
13170s elementals i would say like there is a
13172s wildfire there isn't the um divine
13175s cyclone or anything like that right
13177s there's nothing that's like oh here's my
13179s hard carry elemental it's just here's
13181s some minions that don't actually do
13184s anything they just have stats
13187s yeah he has that um five four still okay
13191s not anymore
13192s i think he was hoping to triple it
13196s yeah this is actually quite sketchy
13199s i don't think twice the rock with the
13200s rock here
13202s um it's double the attack
13205s ideally you want to just take and hold
13206s it but i don't know he might be selling
13208s the know me here to try to survive i can
13210s see that as well yeah
13213s they're rough
13214s yeah it's really rough spot to be in
13216s at least there's no um and you have
13219s if you haven't noticed he is still on
13221s tier four even though it costs zero to
13223s level to five
13224s it's because once you level to five you
13226s see a lot less elementals you only gain
13228s one extra elemental which is uh tavern
13231s tempest but you're seeing a lot you're
13234s adding a lot of new tier 5 minions to
13236s your uh shop
13237s and the problem as well is the minion
13239s you get from tempest isn't actually
13241s buffed either right so although it does
13243s both more it's not like you can like
13244s high roll something from it right and
13246s then play it on board so yeah definitely
13248s tricky and this is the fight that's
13250s going to pretty much decide it for kids
13252s on the galley wigs and it's not even
13255s close let's just be honest yeah
13258s xqn
13259s just dumpsters this fight anna kitchell
13262s on galax is going to be out but locks in
13264s a fourth place and after his seventh
13267s place in the 3.5 game oh three point
13269s five eve
13271s yeah after his seventh place in game one
13274s a welcome amount of points here i think
13276s for kitchen yeah
13278s this is looking very nice if you haven't
13280s uh i don't know if you noticed but
13282s last term we watched xq and he had um a
13285s quite a small bristleback at night but
13288s this turn it turned into 120 829
13293s um which means he siphoned off the gems
13296s onto it using the necrolyte
13298s and now if we can find a cookie and then
13301s another necrolyte we can keep those
13302s stats and stiffen them again onto
13304s something else
13306s oh well might be able to do the there's
13308s the favorite prize the whole board oh we
13311s just played the zephyrus on board
13312s yep that's just one gold where i see it
13317s the mx doing very similar things
13319s actually to x yeah and just in slightly
13322s different ways of course the uh instead
13324s of manipulating the gems as much mx does
13327s have access to the vulging hero power
13329s but might not have access to as much
13331s gold on a turn-by-turn basis
13334s yeah vulgar hero power actually works
13335s really well with cookie as well because
13337s once you use your hero power to swap the
13339s stats or something you can still steal
13341s gems of that minion
13343s right but the shot stake right yes the
13345s stats will stay
13348s and you can just keep moving that around
13350s as long as you can find enough
13351s necrolytes
13353s make things bigger and bigger
13356s but
13356s i don't know this looks doesn't look
13358s enough
13360s i mean
13362s it's hard to beat the infinite gold when
13364s you have infinite gold you have infinite
13366s possibilities also the hogger just
13368s looked at the bristle back night and was
13369s like oh those stats look cool i bet i
13372s could do better though i know it's just
13373s bigger
13375s yeah i think what's happened the gems
13376s off onto the um the hogar now
13379s wait a minute did you get okay
13381s and um
13382s but the both both players are relatively
13384s healthy one is at 37 why is it 26. so i
13387s think we're going to be seeing at least
13389s another turn after this
13391s yeah i think the problem here for mx is
13394s i'm not sure
13397s i don't think he can switch anything
13400s else to like you know switch comp right
13402s i can't go poison scam or anything like
13405s that really um i think it's too late and
13409s then if you add that on to the fact that
13411s i think xqn just scales better every
13414s single turn because he has infinite
13415s goals exactly
13417s yeah i don't see how mx can really
13420s recover he's definitely going to try and
13422s i think you know if he's got a chance
13424s he's got a chance that's absolutely
13425s great but i also think at this point if
13428s we uh you know could fast forward in
13430s time
13431s we just say mx is happy with a second
13433s place because going against this exact
13435s comp from xqm
13437s you're just not really going to beat it
13438s because xqn is a competent player right
13441s i think if some you know someone a much
13443s lower mmr was trying to do this they'd
13445s probably mess up i've seen countless
13448s sort of infinite pirate style turns just
13450s get messed up and then yeah the turn
13452s ends with only like six minions on board
13454s or something right and then that's a a
13456s huge whiff and a throw but i just refuse
13458s to believe xqn is capable of that no no
13461s no xqn it definitely knows what he's
13463s doing and he looks like he's just
13464s tripled something
13466s uh oh now we have two girls
13470s okay so what now we have one player
13473s executing with six hogars another player
13475s with one hogar hmm i wonder who will win
13483s oh there's that cookie
13486s we might be seeing another huge minion
13488s if we can manage to find the necrolyte
13490s the speed of play now you just enjoy it
13492s there's just minions flying left right
13494s and center the game whiplash as soon as
13496s they've been bought they're thrown back
13498s like face first at the tavern again
13501s it is really nice because we had some
13503s lag i think the previous patch and now
13504s it's all been fixed and it feels so good
13506s to play apm build
13511s it's one of those things right like it's
13513s like when you when you're ill right when
13515s you're ill as soon as you feel better
13517s you appreciate how well you feel when
13519s you feel okay right you're exactly
13521s exactly like a superhero right now and
13523s all you are is just not sick and it's
13526s the same with the lag right as soon as
13528s there's no like you like i feel like i
13529s can do anything in this game
13533s yeah and you're like i know i'm going to
13534s appreciate it this time and then
13536s a week a week passes hearthstone players
13538s are hearthstone players and that's
13540s something else yeah
13543s but yeah it's just
13545s yeah it's not it's not enough to kill oh
13547s wait no it's not enough to kill i can't
13549s count
13550s but um
13551s but it is enough to assert dominance
13554s because again
13556s the stats aren't there
13558s the jump to poison ability doesn't exist
13562s so yeah
13564s there's nothing mx can do here i think
13565s if this game was on ladder yeah he
13567s definitely would have quit already yeah
13569s amex is gonna fight it out why not let's
13572s be honest i'm okay with it but um but
13574s yeah i think xqn has a
13578s i would say recovered like i said from
13580s the the previous game only gained 2.5
13584s points
13585s from game one but looking to make a much
13588s better job of it in game two and
13589s suddenly
13591s is easily in the running to qualify for
13593s tomorrow
13595s oh yeah definitely ex-cuban is in a
13597s really good position at the moment
13599s because i think
13600s um the last lobby legends he didn't
13602s qualify because he lost to a tiebreaker
13606s yeah
13607s so this time i think um if there's a
13611s tiebreaker he is definitely winning it
13613s because you know he's got a first place
13615s i think it's like if there's a tie break
13617s he's definitely winning it because he
13618s lost the last one
13620s that's just how it works right yeah
13621s exactly you wouldn't want to lose
13630s unless there is um another person
13633s the other person also has a first place
13635s then yeah then and there's a tiebreaker
13637s between them
13640s yeah looking at this though it's just
13643s too
13644s many stats there's no way foremix to
13646s really get through this and we're gonna
13648s see that yeah five minions
13654s regardless not enough even with the
13657s pretty big moment in there with the
13659s divine shield like
13661s leroy takes out one
13663s there's more stats where that came from
13665s xqn wins game number two
13667s in a very dominating fashion not only
13670s giving his opponents pretty much zero
13672s chance to even try and come back but
13674s also 26 health like more than enough
13677s right to actually just say you won that
13679s game with confidence
13682s yeah i can see why xq and that's why
13684s baroff is so scary in the right hands
13688s in the right player's hands if i see
13690s like exquient ladder or lee hs playing
13693s uh baroff i just want to give up to be
13695s honest
13697s i'll take an eight
13698s and move on with my life yeah exactly um
13701s yeah it was really really fun game and i
13704s love seeing the interaction between
13707s hogar and dark gays elder and then of
13710s course using the cookie and
13713s necroly to spread those stats around
13717s yeah i think it's something that's
13719s really fun about lobby legends because
13721s again i will speak for from someone's
13724s side that is not even close to as good
13726s as these players that are featured here
13728s but you get to see the strats that are
13731s like way harder to work out and pull off
13733s on your own right like you get to see
13736s them implemented in their best way and
13738s cleanest way possible whereas on ladder
13741s at you know slightly lower mmrs you
13743s don't see play this clean and just the
13746s the knowledge and confidence to be like
13748s oh yeah okay so i'll go this this and
13749s this this isn't really a com but i'll
13752s make it come right and it just works and
13755s you see the ridiculous levels of power
13757s players can get to when they really
13760s understand like every aspect of the game
13763s right not just oh well you either go
13766s you know pigs you get murlocs you go
13769s beast you just you just go with one and
13771s that's good it's like no there are much
13773s deeper levels of how you build
13776s certain comps even positioning on board
13778s is a whole different kettle of fish as
13780s well so it's super cool to watch stuff
13782s like this happen and execunia like i
13784s said takes a pretty dominating game
13786s number two and uh most importantly puts
13789s himself in a position
13791s where it's what i like to say you just
13793s have to not mess up
13795s in game three that's like goal number
13798s one it's not get a place not do anything
13800s like that
13801s um
13801s but just not mess up
13805s yep he pretty much needs to just go for
13807s a top four and then he's guaranteed to i
13808s think make it through to the finals and
13810s i think that would be
13811s his first time
13813s making it into the finals which is quite
13815s surprising because you know he's known
13818s as one of the best players on ladder it
13821s just it just shows you how good all
13824s these players are
13825s oh yeah how close the uh the power level
13828s is
13829s yeah look at that as well
13830s something we've you know we talked a lot
13832s about executing because he did just win
13833s that lobby quite well but mx two second
13837s places in a row fantastic play overall
13840s right just second second again
13843s it's unlikely he doesn't get top four
13845s but authors must be running through
13847s these players that the top's mind is
13848s like just don't ate come on like just
13852s just get something going
13854s but yeah huge placements there for xq
13856s and be a babbitt of course they're
13858s looking good on 11.5 mx on 12 with two
13861s second places but then that fourth place
13864s nina that's the one for grabs it's so
13867s close
13868s you know what even that that'd be dope
13870s no that better can't make it
13872s sorry
13872s yeah
13873s i mean he can
13875s maybe he can still make it if he gets
13877s first place at seven points and then
13880s river gets eighth place
13882s and then um then kizhil saitro
13886s and zunu would have to get less than one
13889s point that's possible points no that's
13892s not possible i think it's as close to
13894s not possible as possible uh of me saying
13897s that but again there's a reason i do not
13900s commit to any hard confirms of who can
13902s get what and who didn't do where with
13904s that amount of time
13905s of course
13906s exactly that is game number two of this
13908s lobby and just to remind you there is
13910s only one more game left not only of this
13912s lobby but of the day so make sure you
13914s stick around we're gonna go to a quick
13916s break while we set that one up we will
13917s be right back
13919s [Music]
13925s [Music]
13937s [Music]
13944s [Music]
14008s so
14011s [Music]
14114s [Music]
14119s it's time for the final game of the day
14122s here we are in lobby two and this is
14124s gonna be the game that decides which
14126s four players join the four players from
14128s lobby one into the top eight tomorrow
14130s and then of course tomorrow we'll be
14132s going through to decide our champion but
14135s for now nina we do have this game to
14137s play out and as we sort of broke down
14139s before the break there are a few players
14141s they're mainly the top three
14143s that just have to
14145s not completely mess up and they should
14147s be pretty confident that's their mxjf
14149s beta baby and xqn and then everyone else
14153s after that outside of dappy
14155s need a good result and the other players
14159s within that sort of chunk in the middle
14161s to do badly right and that they need
14163s everyone else to mess up because unless
14165s something goes terribly wrong for
14168s really xqn i think um it's very likely
14172s that the majority of the game is
14174s fighting for that fourth place spot the
14176s final spot it looks like it's going to
14178s be available so a lot on the line and it
14180s looks like the players are starting to
14182s get into the lobby already so it's just
14184s going to be interesting
14186s [Music]
14187s this isn't a beast lobby i'm going to be
14189s upset
14190s not to be slobby
14191s [Music]
14195s you actually are cursed i'm officially
14197s upset oh yeah it is ridiculous what are
14200s the chances of that not a single beast
14202s lobby a hundred percent when i'm casting
14204s battlegrounds
14205s that's the chances uh so yeah we're not
14208s gonna have beasts here but we do have
14209s mechs back in along with murloc's naga
14212s pirates and demons and we do have some
14215s different hero choices right now uh do
14218s you want to just to break down the
14220s potential strengths of failing and carry
14222s all those two of the heroes we've not
14223s seen on
14225s yet
14225s uh stream
14227s or ambassador failing usually doesn't
14229s work out very well for me i mean the
14231s word failing is in
14233s his name right
14235s that's what it says on the tin exactly
14237s but this is a mech lobby which means
14240s phelan might discover a grease ball with
14242s his hero power and no nope
14245s never mind like i said it's uh it's a
14248s poopy hero no i'm joking it's still okay
14252s i mean the early eliza can still win you
14254s a lot of fights and it mama
14257s yup eliza is like it is and carol we
14261s have bitter babbitt on carrier which is
14263s a very interesting choice i mean it
14266s makes sense for him right because he's
14267s just going for top four and carol is
14269s very good for getting consistent top
14271s fours so he's just playing it safe here
14273s yeah she has recently been buffed right
14275s she has yeah in the in the last patch so
14277s she is stronger and any hero that can
14281s consistently add stats to the board
14284s early on ish
14285s is as you mentioned a hero likely to get
14288s a top four kind of finish right because
14291s you can just rely on out surviving other
14294s players that are going for sort of
14295s fancier plays if you can just lay stats
14298s down and of course being able to add
14300s stats when we're talking about mechs and
14302s divine shields it's never a bad thing
14305s and we see davido on ladybug for the
14308s third time in a row
14310s he is not giving up he is determined to
14313s get a win of this hero he's not giving
14315s up or he really wants to drop the
14317s average win rate of this hero
14320s but i will say i'm kind of with you when
14322s we first talked about uh this this era
14324s right there
14325s when i played it even the games that i
14327s thought i played better when i learned
14329s the hero a little bit they still weren't
14331s great i never felt like i was you know
14333s dominating the game yeah it was a strong
14336s win it still felt very difficult indeed
14338s so yeah we'll see if dappy can make this
14342s pay off or not but he might just be
14343s playing for a fun time at this point
14345s yeah i think at this point maybe he's
14347s just memeing you know
14349s he has nothing to lose
14351s he can't really make into the finals so
14353s maybe he's just trying to have some fun
14355s and that was the most fun hero
14357s and mx uh going for the omu looking
14360s quite strong already does have to put
14362s with some decent stats on now i think
14364s thanks to the uh bananas and the taunt
14367s from the naga but also omu again feels
14370s like a good character that yeah you can
14373s get stomped sometimes
14376s but a lot of those times i've found at
14378s least is when you chose to be very
14380s greedy with omu and you can definitely
14383s choose not to do that right and just
14385s play a little bit safer and then
14387s suddenly just yeah you don't get as much
14388s advantage but you're also not as weak
14390s which i think is the goal here
14394s uh we see peter going three on three
14396s again
14398s which is interesting he's skipping
14400s completely um early game hero powers
14402s which does make sense i mean before you
14404s level two three only buffing two minions
14406s yeah nowhere near as strong when you
14408s consider it cos a gold right uh so i i
14411s do like this get to the stronger stage
14413s of the hero power you take some damage
14415s but then start just blasting out some
14417s stats
14418s oh we have your door again we have um
14421s on eudora
14423s you mean we have zerus again yeah you
14424s mean yeah i mean we have a golden series
14426s so
14429s um
14430s imagine if it happens again
14433s i would laugh a lot that would be super
14435s sus
14436s yeah
14438s but uh
14441s i kind of want it to happen again
14445s oh uh four and four we see video baby
14447s going four and four with carol
14450s okay yes because the shop was very very
14453s sad
14455s yeah the shop is not really playable
14457s yeah and you can't really roll right you
14459s can't say as well again from a cursory
14462s glance and i'm sure well i know suttle's
14464s watching cause i've seen messages from
14466s him uh but uh it looks like there would
14469s have to be
14470s many many many many things that go wrong
14473s for be a babbitt to not just get top
14475s four in some respect he might end up
14477s fourth in this world but um i i think
14480s that again playing greedy and then like
14483s trying to make that pay off is fine for
14486s the position that be a babbitt's in uh
14488s we'll see though at the end of the day
14490s what the numbers say
14494s we're about going for the yashiraj here
14496s it's a kaboom bot not terrible
14499s no
14500s not the best either yeah i mean he is
14503s just on tavern too as well right so like
14505s i think it's it's fine for that kind of
14508s outcome oh
14510s these are sad again okay
14513s uh there's a brood the brute is
14516s interesting actually
14518s a show is plus two plus two i mean
14521s including the show commander it's four
14523s or four and stats this turn at least he
14526s decides to go for tunnel blaster instead
14528s i guess tunnel doesn't make sense
14529s because early game
14531s it will kill off a lot of the early game
14533s minion yeah that's true yeah i think
14537s the decision here was well i've been
14538s pretty greedy already i'll just take the
14541s tunnel blaster and not be greedy right
14543s like and just try and retain some health
14545s at this point as he is sitting at 25
14547s right now so uh although you know it's
14550s tempting to go for the shoal because it
14552s is just additional stats every turn just
14554s because of the nature of how brute works
14556s uh but yet i can completely get behind
14559s this i think the stats are just too
14561s small at this point and we don't get to
14563s hear a power this term but that's fine
14564s because that's only plus two plus two
14566s for one gold which doesn't seem worth it
14568s yep and i think just getting that brute
14570s as big as it is along with that tunnel
14572s blaster it's very likely that beta
14575s babbitt at worst takes a minimal damage
14577s right if any uh this next turn going up
14580s against the yasharaj uh let's check out
14584s the yeshiraj board actually
14587s i'm trying to look for it here but i
14588s can't oh yeah uh yeah very very weak
14590s indeed if we're looking at just that
14592s tunnel blasters effect hello
14596s the tunnel last tunnel buster's going to
14598s clean the board i think a little bit oh
14600s although
14603s they do have a big pop board and also
14605s the kaboom boat is actually going to
14607s help a lot so
14608s oh well i yeah actually weirdly enough
14611s the replicating men is summoned
14614s no
14615s how
14617s give me a minute i'm finding an official
14619s bug report
14620s at this point because that is no
14623s shifter zerus no way row
14627s oh no
14629s everyone watching you were
14634s so far
14639s everyone watching you is not happy i
14642s think there was some desk slamming going
14644s on
14647s i'm hopeful i'm hopefully it's going to
14648s turn into something good next turn
14651s it's just the fact of course and it
14653s makes sense right i'm not saying
14654s junior's doing anything wrong but it's
14656s zerus with nothing on board you know i
14659s mean there's no even like well maybe i
14662s can save some damage no
14664s you get punched in the face you and
14666s you're not allowed to move so it's like
14668s it's as as bad as it could possibly be
14671s this zeros has to be
14673s incredible now there's good news as well
14675s because suny is at 31 so even if he
14678s takes max damage he'll have at least two
14681s turns after that to survive as long as
14683s nobody dies
14684s yeah the only problem is it's that's
14687s completely right and you know you are
14689s right with that
14690s but i think to recover
14692s the zerus has to be great you know that
14695s it can't just be okay i think like the
14697s zerus itself has to be worthwhile
14699s because even two turns don't feel like
14701s enough
14703s yeah
14705s what can we get like if we had a beast
14707s lobby we he could get a golden gas coil
14710s and that would carry him right
14712s carry him hard but at this point i don't
14714s know what he can get
14718s up cyto looking quite good he's extra
14720s healthy oh especially going on the
14722s murloc he's
14723s huge that's an easy
14725s fight win then
14727s pushing some nice extra damage with the
14728s arm as well
14731s uh
14732s oh
14733s we did discover uh greaseport and we
14736s have a wave rider
14739s maybe he's trying to get another divine
14741s shield minion yeah trying to find a mech
14747s it's the um battle master you thinking
14749s yeah
14751s just to not die or try and not die right
14753s i think this is very good right now 18
14756s is enough that battle masters big right
14758s five
14759s yeah yeah it's pretty nice too
14763s looks good
14764s good recovery
14766s but again
14767s is it low enough health now that yes no
14770s one can or at least he can't die i beat
14772s a baby could die
14774s but
14775s it's still pretty much you take one bad
14777s fight and you're going to be knocked out
14778s pretty quick right so as you knew does
14781s need to
14782s be strong now and stay strong pretty
14785s much for the rest of the game as you
14787s knew
14788s the player outside of dappy on the
14790s lowest points being five going into this
14792s game and there are other players uh
14795s sideshow and kids are on 5.5 and even
14798s though half a point might not sound like
14800s a lot
14801s well if you're half a point below fourth
14802s place you're not in tomorrow so exactly
14805s and i think what uh the four players who
14807s are fighting for the uh fourth place so
14810s we have river kejal citro and xin yu
14814s what they want how they want this game
14815s to go they probably want mx beater and
14817s xqn to win the lobby right so they stay
14820s at three um so their opponents don't
14822s overtake them and then they get the
14824s fourth spot
14825s well they probably wouldn't mind dapido
14827s winning as well but they don't want the
14828s other three people winning
14830s yeah what they
14832s generally what the middle and lower part
14834s of the lobby wants is reba to just do
14838s terribly and get out quickly because
14840s he's in fourth right now and he's a
14842s whole 1.5 points ahead
14845s if he goes out
14847s the fourth place is basically whoever
14849s does the best
14850s like it is is basically how it works but
14853s for that to happen reba has to be out
14856s like
14857s now you know like early on so we'll see
14860s how that one pans out we are going to
14861s see how the carryall of peter babbitt's
14863s doing stat wise
14865s it does look like it's doing really well
14867s actually
14869s but uh mx is doing a lot of milking here
14871s he's getting a lot of value out of his
14873s pashma
14875s yeah
14878s yeah currently doesn't have anything
14880s that strictly gains from those uh
14883s spells right there's nothing that uh
14885s none of the buff cards uh there's
14887s nothing that keeps the spells permanent
14889s for now
14890s no but unfortunate in the meantime
14893s getting two divine shields for free it's
14895s really really nice it might allow you to
14897s level to six and
14899s find some better things
14907s so far nobody's board is looking too
14909s crazy to me
14910s yeah it is really funny we do see casual
14912s drop down to one health right now so it
14915s is just the one health and the dream but
14917s it's funny isn't it where you get into
14918s game three all these players you can
14921s tell that it's game three and there's a
14924s lot on the line yes everyone is just
14926s picking stuff that look that means stop
14929s hopes means they don't die right they're
14932s just going uh okay this turn i need to
14934s take i don't want to take damage i'll
14936s just buy these strong things and not
14938s really people aren't really aiming for a
14940s comp uh specifically or going greedy and
14943s hunting down certain cards they're just
14945s like what can i get that makes me not
14947s die now that's yeah
14950s but did you see that um kitchel was at
14952s one actually level to six this turn in
14954s order to get his eliza
14956s that's good yeah a risky move
14958s yeah only the two pirates and the rest
14960s of the board not looking too great for
14962s kids either so
14964s you are right this is risky but i guess
14966s at this point with kizzle he feels like
14968s he needed something to happen and a
14972s guaranteed eliza versus a mystery
14974s something else
14976s i can understand why you would take the
14978s guaranteed eliza
14979s because you'll knows also kids
14981s at 5.5 points
14984s if he gets out now he's just not in as a
14986s fact like there's no question anyone
14988s else's placement if casual dies now he's
14991s just not through to top four he's
14993s looking quite relaxed though he's
14994s rubbing his hands in anticipations which
14996s means he's probably favored for this
14998s fight
15000s and it's lucky for him because um yeshua
15003s is in a position to greed and they are
15005s doing so by trying to golden either
15007s their peggy or gold grubber
15009s they got peggy as well really big
15012s it's a lot of scaling
15014s hey kejal lives to fight another day and
15018s john you goes down to six
15020s oh
15022s wait did we see what zerus gave sonia
15024s did i just wave rider wave rider ah okay
15028s oof into a green spot
15030s yeah yeah i remember the grease but i
15032s just can't remember what he got from the
15033s actual he didn't really find any divine
15035s she was last time we looked
15039s oh now i have one divine or two divine
15042s shields even with um
15043s second battle master
15046s okay
15048s definitely is on you in survival mode
15050s right now yep we can now can scale our
15052s bottom master
15054s using the green spot
15056s oh
15057s this is a full-on pupil board
15060s xqm is on the murder mission he's trying
15062s to
15063s eliminate as many
15065s mech players as possible and
15067s i mean this is actually
15070s perfect for xqn right he's sitting on
15072s third place right now in 9.5 points if
15075s he just starts murdering a few people he
15077s will naturally gain enough points to
15079s secure top four
15081s but you also see he has a hoga on his
15083s board and a hogan in his hand
15086s yeah he's like you know
15087s but you know what i murdered some people
15089s but if i can get rich whilst doing it
15091s exactly i'll do it exactly he is playing
15093s full on temple at the moment but he also
15096s has that backup of you know if i find
15099s another hogar i can go apm pirates and
15101s then actually win the lobby but if not
15103s i'll just kill a few of my opponents and
15105s get top four so he's in a really good
15106s spot going full mercenary for hire at
15109s this point like the people for gold
15111s that's basically what he's aiming at
15113s right now
15115s have a good battle friend
15118s hey well surely
15120s and the end of the game is the turn
15121s where people start dying all the divine
15124s shields ripped away by the khan
15127s well i will say these are
15130s gonna be rough against battle masters
15131s right like those are the one men you
15133s don't really want to see oh that was a
15135s bad hit too i don't think there's enough
15138s pew pews to deal with this board that
15140s battle master was a great pickup
15143s an awesome really good counter against
15145s they do live they're stacking damage
15146s right each one's five so
15149s yeah but good thing that there's still
15151s uh for executing at least there's still
15153s a damage cap so
15154s he's never dying here
15158s gonna get put to the magical one health
15159s though billion damage again
15162s yeah beats a babbitt down to four zunu
15165s down to six pigeon is still hanging on
15169s dappy's got a dream he wants to win and
15172s he's on seven
15176s oh there's a cat guy we're looking at in
15179s the shop
15183s another cat guy
15184s guys like pick me pick me
15187s battle master against
15190s um battle is actually a great choice
15193s here because we know uh
15196s what xq has right he has the pew pews
15198s and there's very little health on kejos
15201s board so battlemaster would be ideal
15203s here but he doesn't know he doesn't know
15207s i think in this spot
15208s i don't know if he's thinking about the
15210s battlemaster or oh no
15212s that's what i would have picked oh
15215s oh there's a taunt
15219s the removal argus really hurt the pirate
15221s exodia build
15223s because now you can only taunt one
15226s uh one scallywag at a time right yeah
15229s you need just literally double the
15230s amount of cards for the same effect
15232s right we have a skywalk and two barons
15236s on the board
15237s uh in the shop
15239s we can afford them both as well
15243s oh this is so risky
15245s would you like to have seen the
15246s scallywag number two picked up there
15249s i think so but he doesn't realize what
15252s xq1 has
15254s um
15256s also i would have liked to see him play
15258s the
15258s bananas on the baron
15264s but then again like i guess he he knows
15266s the xq and doesn't have any hasn't had
15268s any triples yet so
15270s oh he did play it he did play the second
15272s skelly oh he must have picked it up last
15274s minute okay well good job i think that's
15276s the best chance he had and the scally
15278s didn't die though
15279s which is a
15281s little bit rough
15283s yeah
15284s that's because of the voidlords oh there
15287s we go the only counter
15290s this might be enough honestly if
15293s no
15295s might be
15296s no
15297s it depends on when this uh oh
15300s oh no
15302s it all depended if the baron died before
15306s the
15307s oh no
15308s yeah the imp needed to really pop off
15310s right to die before baron died in order
15313s to get the value out of that yeah the
15315s extra health was needed and that means
15317s kizzle is out at eighth place
15321s and also pretty confidently not making
15324s it to tomorrow as that is not going to
15326s be gaining any points and he wasn't
15328s fourth to begin with so yeah unfortunate
15330s there for kidro it's a good effort but
15332s not quite enough and honestly i think
15334s games like this are really difficult
15337s because everyone is playing in such a a
15340s strange but understandable way right
15342s where the jurors brutally battling for
15345s the board every single turn like no
15347s matter what they do they're just like no
15349s i cannot die um it's pretty how many
15352s players are in survival mode you're
15353s right exactly yeah jun you now has got
15356s some divine shields and most importantly
15358s some divine chills on those battle
15359s masters which is actually pretty sick
15362s yeah that's just that's stacking up
15364s that's the thing that you just said
15365s about playing every turn to kill your
15367s opponents because you can see he has a
15369s divine shield on the battlemasters but
15372s he doesn't have the
15373s glow scale anymore which means he sold
15375s it in order to be as strong as possible
15377s right his turn and to kill their
15379s opponent maybe but next turn he's not
15381s gonna have divine shield on those um
15383s demons anymore
15387s [Music]
15390s a player the the best placed player
15393s that's not top three right now with
15394s seven points and we'll just be looking
15397s for just a few more people die you know
15399s like just just push a few more people
15401s out couple more points for him couple
15402s less for others
15404s just to try and survive does have the
15406s leroy there as well
15408s has a chance at getting this but gurgle
15411s poisoned which is clearly due to this
15412s positioning he's gone for him
15415s yeah he is trying to switch into a
15417s poison uh build
15420s i don't know if this is gonna be i mean
15422s he's not he's at 24 so it would be
15424s pretty hard for him to die but it's not
15426s impossible because of those battle
15427s masters right the battle masters and
15429s mackerel and greasepot the stats are
15432s huge on this devourer right like 39 41
15435s 37 17. like yeah that's gonna catch up a
15438s lot of the damage on these battle
15439s masters there see yeah and there's boys
15442s on these boards
15444s oh
15446s yep that's fine right that's uh it looks
15448s like your door is out
15449s yep and that means just take a quick
15452s look there's your new and while the
15453s players on five points being out again
15456s is a huge deal along with mx who's gone
15459s out but i think that being the sixth
15461s seventh that's going to be the uh what
15463s 1.5 point split that puts him at 13.5
15466s which i think is extremely safe oh xq1
15469s is l2
15470s oh that means they get one point uh how
15472s many points to get that's three two one
15475s two points each yeah
15477s because the three people died that's
15479s actually huge
15481s against xqn and mx first and third on
15484s the leaderboard right now go up two
15486s points which then puts them like a good
15489s step ahead or a good step away uh from
15491s most of the other players so it does
15493s look like we are really in that mix for
15496s that fourth place just look at this uh
15498s deputy i believe
15501s yes i think bitterbap is definitely
15502s through to the finals just by being in
15504s the top four diabetes has no chance of
15507s making it to the finals so it's really
15508s between saturation
15510s petrol and river
15512s yeah that it looks like it to me uh
15516s yeah i think um
15518s because union and cyto all both have one
15521s uh before had 5.5 and five and rib
15524s already has seven so there is no way
15526s they can make into the finals so it is
15528s really just between reba and saitro
15532s yeah and saicho basically needs to be
15536s more or like two places above rivers
15539s finish right yep yeah yeah which is just
15541s two places so he needs river to just get
15543s out
15545s right now
15547s because again it's probably frustrating
15549s for saitro that river's the only other
15551s player with any reasonable amount of
15552s health right yeah
15554s the others that just get one shot if
15556s they lose the fight but checking in with
15558s sideshow and to be fair we've not really
15560s looked at saito or talked about saturday
15561s too much in terms of his board but has
15563s got the demon got the early fell back uh
15565s pop off there and he's just going max
15568s stats and the reason we've already
15569s talked about it too much is because it's
15571s just been winning every fight
15573s yeah he is at 40 health he has time to
15576s um maybe switch to poisons because that
15578s seems like
15579s never mind
15582s he did not um
15586s no lady vash did not get poison
15589s wait is that enough to
15592s no it's a tie
15593s it's a tie
15595s and nobody
15596s got knocked out
15601s the asteroid was very strong uh river
15603s was really strong early game but um is
15607s struggling a little bit in the last few
15608s turns
15610s yeah again just what we said a little
15611s bit earlier on there'd be a babbitt just
15613s going for that aggressive leveling then
15614s starting to stack the hero powers
15617s done his job perfectly top four
15619s he's just good to go at this point right
15621s yeah which is great any extra placements
15624s obviously
15625s if he can win the game he'll he will try
15627s and win it but he's very much done his
15630s job for now he's very happy
15632s he looks a happy bunny
15636s oh
15638s okay got the
15640s he somehow sold he sold his um tunnel
15642s blaster probably because he knows
15644s he's against mukhla and he knows what
15647s michael's build is
15649s yeah i mean if he hovers sees demons
15652s it's just stats isn't it you know that's
15654s all at this point in the game at 40
15656s health you know your opponent's just
15657s gone high stats
15659s and the river's just going for a
15662s complete a full poison scam
15664s basically yep interestingly enough does
15667s have the two divine shield spells in
15670s hand
15672s thinking about using these because if he
15674s uses these
15675s his positioning's wrong right
15678s um
15679s i think maybe
15681s move one more lock up would you say at
15683s least
15684s okay
15685s okay maybe not that much but never mind
15689s yeah
15691s i thought i'd move one maybe go like
15693s you're doing great out there
15696s uh selfless murloc selfless or something
15698s he's going for very greedy positioning
15701s here but i think he needs that order to
15703s uh to win here
15707s again saito would be very happy if river
15710s was killed this time
15711s oh now where does that go
15714s oh oh that's perfect
15717s is that enough
15721s oh it is
15724s so dapido is
15726s out unfortunately
15728s but at least this time he got a top
15732s top four
15733s yeah yeah
15734s instead of eight with ladybug
15739s so now in order for cyto to make it
15741s through he has to get first place and
15743s for river to get
15745s third
15746s if they both get top two then everybody
15748s will move forward ahead of sightro
15756s go ahead and hire one of these recruits
15761s apparently peter did 14 damage to saito
15766s yeah central has really nothing really
15769s going for him what he's looking for at
15770s the moment i think he's probably looking
15772s for seven he's looking for
15774s baron to go with um
15777s his iki imp and he's managed to find a
15780s magic though that's quite nice because
15781s that's guaranteed poison
15783s yeah the problem here is though that
15786s uh
15787s ripper just
15789s has all the insta kill right has just
15791s the poison in the divine shields and
15793s yeah the the health from the imp is
15796s great but not against poison and divine
15799s shield yeah that's right and leroy's
15801s right so
15802s tunnel blaster is very interesting
15803s though because we know that um
15806s you know ribba has a bunch of leroys
15810s right
15811s and also the celtics he's playing it
15812s he's doing it
15813s okay okay this is looking okay now
15817s good recognition right of knowing what
15819s you're going to be up against and
15821s knowing that
15822s if you'd be if you're stubborn and be
15824s like no i want my stats yeah exactly
15826s yeah so i i like this oh no they got
15829s buffed it's popped up
15832s [Music]
15836s leroy's gonna solo this game
15841s oh oh wait
15844s no it's not enough it's too oh yeah it's
15847s so strong i don't think saito is out
15850s here
15855s so who is going to fight um
15857s bitter now oh beer is dead oh peter's
15860s die to the coast no that means nigeria
15862s can't make it through anymore yeah i
15864s believe that means that riba will just
15867s be ahead no matter what happens now with
15869s the finish of course saitro would rather
15872s go out uh with a blaze and then actually
15875s get first place here they will of course
15877s play to win and i will just remind
15879s everyone that the points and rankings
15882s are not final until we show them on
15885s screen uh because
15887s we do not decide the admins do so again
15890s while we're making assumptions and is
15892s pretty basic maths uh do not listen to
15895s us until it's confirmed but i do believe
15898s that river is just too far ahead in
15900s points now that a one point difference
15902s between the players is not enough but
15905s still both players are going to play out
15907s for the glory of actually just winning
15909s the lobby and again i think in these
15912s spots
15913s regardless of whether players make top
15915s four or uh or top eight i guess or don't
15918s uh just playing in lobbies of these cat
15921s this caliber is kind of ridiculous right
15924s like uh you know that you're never
15926s really gonna play
15928s and and more groups of seven players
15930s that are much better than these
15934s i'm actually shocked by the top two in
15936s this lobby because
15937s there's no grease spots i makes her in
15943s i know i've been hammering on about
15944s greasebots every uh
15946s back game but i'm i'm pretty sure like
15949s if they don't really see what the
15950s problem is i don't see a green spot in
15951s sight
15952s yeah that's the thing if you're
15954s underpowered
15958s if um
15960s there was a great spot player in the
15961s game there would be this poison board
15969s maybe not
15972s maybe not this
15975s booklet board though because they will
15976s have a lot of health
15979s yeah
15980s oh my thing this is it yeah that's
15983s enough right this is a win for saitra
15986s yeah it is a win for sideshow we'll have
15988s a look and we'll see but
15990s regardless i think well played sytra was
15993s ahead for the whole game and even when
15997s his opponent was basically quickly
15999s moving on to hard counters right again
16002s end game demons is often just i have
16004s more stats than you poison divine shield
16006s cares not for stats so
16008s did manage to survive get the win there
16011s the baron i think pushing the majority
16012s of the final damage as well so
16014s congratulations to saitro and again i i
16018s know i've said this before but it's
16019s something i do love about casting their
16022s lobby legends is the difference in play
16025s as games go on right you see players
16027s just go full desperation mode and it
16030s completely changes how you play the game
16032s these are not ladder games right i think
16034s that's safe to say
16035s these do not look like your average
16037s leather game and it's great to watch as
16039s players have to adapt and it's
16040s definitely a lot of fun
16042s yeah definitely um yeah this game really
16045s really surprised me i guess because it
16046s was the last game i think maybe not ever
16049s everyone was trying to go for
16051s maybe top fours
16053s and like nobody really hit the the
16056s giganots you know nobody hit like
16058s double um busters or like huge mech
16061s builds and
16063s yeah this is the the outcome
16066s we have a
16067s giant
16068s wait
16070s the golden trickster winning the lobby
16072s yeah and i think help with baron yeah
16074s it's one of those things where i think
16076s we saw it and you can even see it as we
16078s recap this even if you just stare at the
16080s leaderboard but so many players in this
16083s lobby at least that in this group of
16084s eight players game three so many players
16087s just needed to be ahead of these other
16090s two players right it's generally the way
16092s they saw their progression to get to top
16094s four is if i just don't lose to these
16097s other two people
16099s i'll make it through or have a chance to
16101s make it through and you saw the play
16103s reflect that it was very much like if
16105s you go greedy then just die well you've
16107s got no chance because you're dead and
16108s you ate right so i think we just saw
16110s players very aggressively
16112s play tempo and it's something we've seen
16114s in previous tournaments as well where
16116s suddenly when you only need x amount of
16118s points to gain uh things change a lot
16121s but all of that will change tomorrow
16124s when we get to check format because yes
16126s the players do have to get to 20 points
16128s but then they'll have to actually win a
16130s game to actually win the tournament and
16132s there we go and wait
16134s we miscalculated which is why exactly i
16137s said oh you'll not trust the casters
16139s until the numbers are on the screen xqn
16142s misses out by a point and your top four
16144s going through to tomorrow at b to
16146s babbitt mxjf riba puzzle and cytro
16150s that's why sideshow was pumped because
16152s he actually did the maths yes unlike us
16155s yeah
16156s unlike me who just guessed like i always
16158s do um
16160s but yeah look how close that was of
16163s course we had dappy uh kidzil and
16166s there's so new to an extent uh on those
16168s lower soft sides of the points but look
16170s at that top uh well uh second third and
16173s fifth and fourth right like all like a
16176s point a point and a half away from these
16178s things it's absolutely huge so so close
16183s yeah this is
16184s uh quite different to the previous lobby
16185s isn't it we're having um the top five
16189s people are very very close in points and
16192s also even xqan who secured himself a win
16195s second game did not manage to make it
16197s through unfortunately and this is the
16199s final lobby for tomorrow
16202s i am very ready for this nina honestly
16204s like look at these players alucard
16206s satellite butterfly kid five mxjf beta
16210s babbitt sideshow and river all players
16213s we've seen putting the work in there
16214s well that's some pretty impressive games
16216s honestly over the last i don't know like
16218s four hours or so however long we've been
16219s saying uh but yeah really impressive of
16222s course either rough for the players who
16224s didn't make it but as i said i think
16226s getting into the broadcasted part of
16229s lobby legends is a huge achievement in
16231s itself takes so much work from all these
16234s players and you see that in the quality
16236s of play right i mean
16238s normally like we talk about like
16240s especially in standard it's like every
16241s little decision misplay obviously
16243s battlegrounds is a lot faster but the
16246s ability to like just play at that kind
16247s of tempo whilst having to play game
16250s after game work out point systems and
16252s where you need to place it's a lot to
16254s work on as i'm sure you'll know better
16256s than me so a huge respect to all the
16258s players but i will say i am looking
16261s forward to tomorrow in this top eight
16262s yeah that's the beauty of battlegrounds
16264s i think because every game is unique you
16267s never have exactly the same gains unlike
16270s in standard you learn one deck you keep
16271s playing that one deck right uh whereas
16274s in battlegrounds
16275s they're possible
16277s ain't standard caster the possibilities
16279s are
16280s like
16281s insane there's
16285s scared me off a little bit
16286s um but yeah
16288s because there's so many many uh
16291s different dominions so many different
16293s minion types and heroes the combinations
16296s you know
16297s it's just you can't count the amount of
16300s them
16300s yeah i mean and that is the good thing
16302s right and that's why we see when we look
16304s and watch these games and talk about
16306s these games decision points yes players
16309s are always going to say this was correct
16311s that was correct this was wrong but
16313s realistically it's almost impossible to
16316s say unless it's exactly unless you just
16318s didn't spend any of your gold for a turn
16320s right obviously natural like decision
16323s making it's so small the differences and
16326s they're all really opinion based it
16328s leads to some pretty crazy games and uh
16330s definitely been enjoying casting
16332s battlegrounds but we've hit that time
16334s where we are done for the day there's
16335s only one more day left of lobby legends
16338s fire festival and that is going to be a
16340s spicy one so make sure to tune in
16342s tomorrow but from us production everyone
16344s we had a great day and we'll see you
16346s tomorrow goodbye
16347s see you tomorrow
