| 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 |

| 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 |
