| 944s | oh this could easily be hit right i |
| 946s | think it might be |
| 947s | oh it's 20 23. |
| 962s | wait no a drawer |
| 981s | hello everyone and welcome to |
| 983s | hearthstone lobby legends of magic of |
| 986s | azeroth our fifth lobby legends event |
| 988s | where we have gathered 16 of the best |
| 991s | battlegrounds players currently to fight |
| 993s | out in our brand new meta with quests |
| 996s | having just made of their debut in |
| 999s | battlegrounds which means for all of our |
| 1001s | players it's been a frantic few days |
| 1003s | scrambling to try and find out what the |
| 1005s | winning strats are going to be and to |
| 1008s | take us through all them winning strats |
| 1011s | is lorenda alongside me to bring us all |
| 1013s | the action this weekend how you doing |
| 1015s | i'm doing great job i have no idea how |
| 1018s | we're going to navigate this action but |
| 1019s | one of the quests is unlikely duo so |
| 1022s | here we are actually on screen |
| 1025s | personified but there is a lot to take |
| 1027s | in people have been trying to |
| 1029s | work out what to do with quests and how |
| 1031s | on earth to make them work in the most |
| 1034s | efficient way and so far i think that |
| 1036s | we've made progress as a community but |
| 1038s | not a huge amount i think there's a lot |
| 1039s | still to uncover and i'm looking forward |
| 1041s | to seeing how it pans out in this |
| 1043s | particular tournament |
| 1045s | absolutely i want to point out one of |
| 1046s | the other quests is evil twin which is i |
| 1048s | think maybe a little bit more |
| 1049s | appropriate of us to as a casting duo |
| 1052s | but as a tournament overview for this |
| 1054s | weekend 16 players from all over the |
| 1056s | globe have made it through to here from |
| 1059s | uh aipac europe americas and uh four |
| 1061s | chinese players as well qualifying |
| 1063s | through slightly differently uh and |
| 1065s | we're going to be dividing up into two |
| 1067s | separate groups of eight players two |
| 1068s | different lobbies uh which was uh |
| 1071s | decided completely fairly uh and not |
| 1074s | rigged in any way by a bar and his dog |
| 1076s | griffey to decide the two different |
| 1078s | groups each of those groups is going to |
| 1079s | be playing three games today and then |
| 1081s | the top half of those two lobbies will |
| 1084s | be sent through to tomorrow to be |
| 1086s | playing in one mega lobby in the czech |
| 1089s | format which we'll go into in a little |
| 1091s | bit more detail tomorrow but is uh for |
| 1093s | me such an exciting way to close out a |
| 1096s | weekend at battlegrounds action yeah |
| 1098s | when i first saw i won't go to it too |
| 1099s | much as you've instructed me not to when |
| 1101s | i first saw a check format i'm like i'm |
| 1103s | not going to enjoy this because i like |
| 1104s | that i'm like with everything that's new |
| 1105s | i'm old i don't change my ways it's been |
| 1108s | great and again we'll talk about that |
| 1109s | more tomorrow but today's order of |
| 1112s | action two eight player lobbies as you |
| 1114s | saw there um to see who's going to play |
| 1116s | in that mega lobby as david likes to |
| 1118s | call it i don't know where that came |
| 1119s | from but i like it and it's going to be |
| 1123s | a lot of people we've seen before some |
| 1125s | that we haven't but a lot of people have |
| 1127s | seen before now we're into the fifth |
| 1128s | time around uh started to get a few |
| 1131s | stats together which i completed about |
| 1132s | 10 minutes ago |
| 1134s | so we are starting to see which people |
| 1137s | are performing consistently which ones |
| 1138s | are just here for the first time |
| 1140s | obviously five tournaments still a small |
| 1142s | sample but we are going to be able to |
| 1144s | talk about consistent performers more |
| 1146s | and more as this year goes on that's |
| 1149s | right it's very different to the likes |
| 1150s | of the other masters tours that we have |
| 1152s | over constructed where you know it's |
| 1153s | still impressive to qualify through but |
| 1155s | it's a much much larger uh larger field |
| 1157s | in each of these here we're kind of |
| 1159s | cutting to a top 16 at the start of the |
| 1161s | broadcast with our players here so even |
| 1163s | just having made it is a huge uh |
| 1166s | accolade that each of our competitors |
| 1168s | can boast to |
| 1169s | but as for how the point distribution |
| 1171s | works in battlegrounds obviously eight |
| 1173s | players in each lobby meaning that you |
| 1175s | want to place as well as you can in each |
| 1178s | lobby uh but if you finish eighth you're |
| 1181s | not guaranteed any points at all which |
| 1183s | of course can mean that no matter how |
| 1184s | well you do in those first couple of |
| 1186s | lobbies |
| 1187s | nothing is ever truly guaranteed |
| 1190s | yep you've got to get in the top four |
| 1192s | total points earners and if you can't |
| 1194s | understand this graphic by the way give |
| 1195s | up now this is the world's easiest like |
| 1197s | beginner level graphic |
| 1199s | okay it's like just if i was with tj |
| 1202s | here we'd be ripping into this graphic |
| 1204s | time and time again but yeah it's |
| 1207s | um there's so many different ways of |
| 1208s | explaining how this works but you get a |
| 1210s | point per place is is the simplest uh |
| 1212s | but yeah like you have just said you get |
| 1214s | eight in the first one you've really got |
| 1215s | to get two |
| 1217s | good good finishes to make it into that |
| 1219s | top four |
| 1221s | and then but that's the other side of |
| 1223s | that is you don't have to win any |
| 1225s | lobbies to get into that top four if you |
| 1226s | find a strategy that you know like |
| 1228s | taking devil getting third place over |
| 1230s | and over again that's fine in this first |
| 1233s | round of stuff but with that money on |
| 1236s | the line it's not so fine tomorrow |
| 1239s | a lot of money on the line for the top |
| 1240s | players |
| 1241s | that's right you're still walking away |
| 1243s | with money no matter how you finish here |
| 1245s | but that jump from seven and a half |
| 1246s | thousand to ten thousand dollars for |
| 1248s | first place means that our players are |
| 1250s | going to be wanting to strive for the |
| 1252s | victory in addition to of course the uh |
| 1254s | the pride that comes along with being |
| 1255s | crowned a lobby legends champion and so |
| 1258s | tomorrow with a check format where in |
| 1259s | order to win the entire tournament you |
| 1261s | do need to hit a first place at some |
| 1263s | point uh once you've racked up enough |
| 1265s | points uh it's gonna get a lot more |
| 1267s | interesting uh because players are gonna |
| 1269s | be going for these high-risk high-reward |
| 1271s | heroes and more importantly uh the |
| 1274s | quests some of these very difficult to |
| 1276s | complete quests like staff of every |
| 1278s | origination comes to mind it's one of |
| 1280s | the really big ones that you can go for |
| 1282s | uh these are the kind of things that you |
| 1283s | need to be looking at more uh in order |
| 1285s | to try and aim for the uh the lofty |
| 1288s | heights of getting a first place in |
| 1290s | these incredibly stacked lobbies uh so |
| 1292s | very curious to see how players are |
| 1294s | going to be going for that with the |
| 1296s | quests in terms of how easy how |
| 1298s | difficult to complete they are and what |
| 1300s | is prioritized in terms of tempo versus |
| 1303s | going for these much greedier quests |
| 1306s | that can ultimately lead to a victory |
| 1308s | yeah something that i don't think that |
| 1310s | we've got much of a handle on yet is how |
| 1313s | to set up going into turn four for the |
| 1315s | quest so |
| 1317s | i've seen various takes on do you go |
| 1319s | three on three anymore anywhere ever |
| 1322s | and i've seen xqm say i don't think so |
| 1325s | i've seen other good good players say |
| 1327s | yeah i think this is a good idea now |
| 1328s | because you're already positioned |
| 1331s | on the higher level higher tier shops |
| 1333s | already if the quest is good you just |
| 1335s | start getting good stuff immediately i |
| 1337s | think the consensus is that's three on |
| 1339s | three slightly worse or the not the |
| 1341s | consensus at all but the average is that |
| 1343s | three on three is slightly worse but i |
| 1344s | want to see how people position |
| 1346s | themselves going into turn four are they |
| 1348s | setting themselves up for a higher role |
| 1350s | quest are they just trying to be in |
| 1352s | position already have some stuff on the |
| 1354s | board so when your quest says stuff |
| 1355s | needs to die or stuff needs to be |
| 1357s | attacked into his taunt uh bad example |
| 1359s | because we won't be seeing that one |
| 1360s | today it's been temporarily removed but |
| 1362s | you know what i mean um how they go into |
| 1364s | those turns and hopefully we'll be |
| 1366s | seeing that really soon |
| 1367s | hopefully indeed gonna be very |
| 1369s | interesting to see as you say all the uh |
| 1371s | the different curves that players are |
| 1372s | going for how the quest factors into |
| 1374s | that and of course how the different |
| 1375s | heroes uh they can be |
| 1377s | uh acquiring uh can change that up as |
| 1380s | well but taking a look at our |
| 1383s | competitors for group a |
| 1385s | lorinda who are some of the standout |
| 1387s | players and who are maybe some of the |
| 1389s | lesser known players that we should be |
| 1391s | looking out for yep um well-known |
| 1393s | players obviously zixo is the best known |
| 1395s | mainly because of his um long-standing |
| 1399s | constructed form over the years |
| 1400s | especially one of the first players to |
| 1401s | win big tournaments over and over again |
| 1404s | from a battlegrounds perspective my |
| 1406s | personal one of my favorite players to |
| 1407s | watch he teaches me a lot so he used to |
| 1410s | blame for my terrible casting uh sleepy |
| 1412s | is a fantastic stream a fantastic player |
| 1415s | vivaposa has been around a long time had |
| 1417s | a lot of really good results over |
| 1420s | time reached the final last time has |
| 1422s | reached close to getting to the |
| 1424s | the stream stages many times and ceci |
| 1427s | say um has also done pretty well |
| 1430s | making it to the broadcast in the first |
| 1432s | season but also done okay behind the |
| 1434s | scenes and a couple of others uh the |
| 1436s | other players i'm not so |
| 1438s | um so well known on but and god five |
| 1441s | we've got another player with five at |
| 1443s | the end of their name in this this is |
| 1444s | going to be amusing to me |
| 1448s | yeah it's a good selection i think of uh |
| 1450s | different uh notoriety and uh play style |
| 1453s | as well like six so you talk about him |
| 1455s | being an old-school tournament winner |
| 1457s | he's also just one of the most |
| 1459s | iconic ladder grinders that we've ever |
| 1461s | had uh in hearthstone be it compet uh |
| 1463s | sorry standard uh or battlegrounds uh as |
| 1466s | well and i do think it's gonna carry on |
| 1468s | over to this weekend as well uh but then |
| 1471s | moving on to if we can group b as well |
| 1475s | which is also going to be played out |
| 1477s | today first three games of group a then |
| 1479s | three games uh from group b |
| 1482s | uh there's obviously a real standout |
| 1483s | name here that you and i were both |
| 1485s | looking at his stream last night to get |
| 1487s | a last-minute bit of insight but a lot |
| 1490s | of very respectable names alongside xqn |
| 1493s | yeah alex in particular has had a really |
| 1497s | good time in lobby legends previously |
| 1499s | came pretty close in one that i seem to |
| 1501s | remember i'm frantically scrolling now |
| 1504s | um not that close but has impresses with |
| 1507s | his play at least in the stages |
| 1509s | um obviously |
| 1511s | fitters is a player who we see do pretty |
| 1514s | well from time to time but i want to |
| 1515s | have a rant about xqa i'm sorry it's |
| 1517s | going to randomly saving this rant |
| 1520s | for some time xqn somehow has a |
| 1523s | reputation amongst viewers amongst |
| 1525s | people who don't know the scene that |
| 1526s | well of not performing well in |
| 1529s | tournaments so far because he hasn't |
| 1531s | spiked one i had a look at xqm's record |
| 1533s | he's qualified for all five lobby |
| 1535s | legends like early stages |
| 1538s | the first stage is you're in a lobby of |
| 1539s | eight you like this group exactly the |
| 1541s | same you play three games he's got out |
| 1543s | of that group all five times |
| 1546s | so |
| 1547s | um and then the second group is the same |
| 1550s | again he's got out of that of five |
| 1551s | attempts three times to make it to three |
| 1554s | broadcasts and on broadcast he's been in |
| 1556s | the group twice and he's got out of the |
| 1558s | groups once he's not doing badly in |
| 1560s | competitive play just because he hasn't |
| 1562s | won a tournament he is doing quite well |
| 1564s | thank you very much probably one of the |
| 1565s | best results of anybody |
| 1567s | yeah i mean it's the name of the game |
| 1568s | with battlegrounds right it's easy to |
| 1570s | focus on the flashy big tournament wins |
| 1572s | which are incredibly impressive of |
| 1573s | course but it's consistency that's the |
| 1575s | name of the game with battlegrounds |
| 1577s | that's how you climb that's how you |
| 1578s | improve you just want to be doing better |
| 1580s | than average |
| 1581s | as much as you can and that is |
| 1583s | quite obviously what xqn has been able |
| 1586s | to do over his uh career in |
| 1588s | battlegrounds both uh on ladder and now |
| 1591s | in lobby legends which uh hopefully he |
| 1593s | can bolster with as you say a much |
| 1595s | desired win uh in this uh weekend of |
| 1598s | play uh but he's gonna be playing in |
| 1600s | group v first of all we have to run |
| 1602s | through our lobbies in group a and so |
| 1606s | lorinda we've had a look at the players |
| 1608s | we've had a kind of vague talk about |
| 1610s | quests but you can focus on this |
| 1612s | question in any way you want what are |
| 1614s | some of the uh |
| 1616s | steinpo some of the big talking points |
| 1618s | of this meta game as it starts to settle |
| 1621s | down a little bit more um |
| 1623s | again it's all about the quests but what |
| 1626s | speed quest can you get away with i |
| 1628s | think more and more you look at your |
| 1629s | three quests you go that's what i can |
| 1631s | complete i'm taking it and |
| 1633s | what it does is it's obviously not |
| 1635s | secondary um does it does it have any |
| 1637s | sort of synergy with your hero is really |
| 1639s | important but you've got to complete |
| 1641s | your quest or you will top eight like |
| 1643s | it's simple as that if you don't |
| 1644s | complete it you've got nothing going on |
| 1646s | they're so much stronger than most of |
| 1648s | the hero powers obviously |
| 1650s | gallywix might have a chat with you |
| 1651s | about that but in general the quests are |
| 1654s | dominating the game you've got to pick |
| 1656s | something that is going to get done |
| 1658s | and |
| 1659s | again the more powerful you can get away |
| 1660s | with the better there's one or two |
| 1661s | you're going to look at and go you know |
| 1662s | what |
| 1663s | i just have to get the wonder ball it's |
| 1666s | just too good i just have to go for it |
| 1668s | no matter how hard it is but in general |
| 1670s | i think we're gonna see people pick nice |
| 1672s | straightforward easy to complete quests |
| 1674s | and |
| 1675s | tempo use that tempo to win the lobby |
| 1677s | with i think |
| 1679s | yeah there's been some interesting talk |
| 1680s | as well as i believe there was a |
| 1683s | kind of a hotfix patch that rolled out |
| 1686s | uh just before this tournament started |
| 1688s | which has changed the numbers a tiny bit |
| 1691s | on some of the quests made some of them |
| 1692s | a little bit harder to complete some of |
| 1693s | them a little bit easier to complete and |
| 1696s | a lot of the harder ones have kind of |
| 1698s | become even harder weirdly enough like |
| 1701s | uh yogtastic tasty stuff of origination |
| 1703s | as well some of these very very high |
| 1705s | value but quite rare um quests that |
| 1708s | you're looking to get have become even |
| 1709s | harder but i fully agree i think as the |
| 1712s | the met started to settle a little bit |
| 1714s | people are thinking yeah these nice easy |
| 1717s | to complete quests are generally the way |
| 1719s | to go |
| 1721s | uh like |
| 1722s | unlikely duo if you happen to get a |
| 1724s | tribe that you have a lot of in play or |
| 1726s | in hand you can very often complete that |
| 1728s | uh in the next one or two turns even on |
| 1730s | the same time you get it as i have |
| 1732s | somehow managed to do today uh and just |
| 1735s | trying to get the synergy with the quest |
| 1738s | itself rather than the quest reward is i |
| 1740s | think a really big part of it in order |
| 1742s | to get that quest online as quick as |
| 1745s | possible |
| 1747s | as we shall see but with the quests um |
| 1750s | being a very big part of it uh how is |
| 1752s | the |
| 1753s | is the important of heroes lessened as a |
| 1756s | result of that do you think is our are |
| 1757s | our players going to be less concerned |
| 1759s | with the heroes they get than the quest |
| 1760s | themselves uh less concerned than ever |
| 1763s | before especially in lobby legends |
| 1765s | definitely like don't want to trivialize |
| 1767s | your hero choice it's it's still very |
| 1769s | important again gallywix and a couple of |
| 1772s | other mana cheats milhouse |
| 1775s | absolutely ridiculous right now gale |
| 1777s | wing's pretty good cookies pretty good |
| 1778s | you could list 10 or 20 that are |
| 1780s | definitely better than the others |
| 1782s | but yes |
| 1783s | you can get away with playing |
| 1785s | something that was previously garbage |
| 1787s | now because the quests are a little bit |
| 1788s | easier to complete with the armor and |
| 1790s | again quick quest is so important it's a |
| 1792s | bit easier to complete |
| 1794s | we're at the stage yet we still don't |
| 1795s | really know how much easier i've got a |
| 1796s | massive spreadsheet full of stuff and |
| 1798s | then they change everything so delete |
| 1800s | that start again thanks thanks everybody |
| 1803s | um but we are the stage where it's |
| 1805s | looking like having a lot of armor means |
| 1806s | your quests are it says slightly more |
| 1810s | easy in the patch notes i think |
| 1811s | noticeably more easy is okay it's |
| 1814s | definitely the way forward like is doing |
| 1816s | something eight times going down to six |
| 1818s | that's not slightly |
| 1819s | i can see why the wording is how it is |
| 1821s | but it's a big difference in terms of |
| 1822s | how long it takes to do your thing |
| 1825s | so i think the short answer which i |
| 1827s | didn't give to answer your question |
| 1828s | would be |
| 1830s | heroes matter a lot less than they have |
| 1832s | in recent times |
| 1834s | all right okay well that's good i'm not |
| 1835s | i'm not looking for short answers i'm |
| 1837s | looking to uh bridge the gap until our |
| 1839s | first game uh can start here uh but one |
| 1842s | of the things that i think i've liked a |
| 1843s | lot is uh the quests i think |
| 1846s | for me have been one of my favorite |
| 1848s | additions that we've had two |
| 1849s | battlegrounds recently because as i was |
| 1851s | saying uh in the chat it feels like |
| 1853s | there is a |
| 1856s | never an or rarely i will say a really |
| 1858s | obviously perfect quest that you're |
| 1860s | going for which uh can be fun when you |
| 1863s | get that which was kind of the thinking |
| 1865s | behind buddies i suppose when you have |
| 1866s | an objective that's specifically |
| 1868s | tailored to be really good for your game |
| 1870s | plan which you know feels good when you |
| 1872s | do it at first but for me the big thing |
| 1874s | is trying to maneuver a game plan to |
| 1876s | work in slightly unoptimal position |
| 1878s | conditions but when you make it work you |
| 1880s | have massive rewards as a result and |
| 1883s | that's kind of the name of the game for |
| 1885s | the strategies overall uh as a |
| 1888s | somewhat more of a battleground noob the |
| 1891s | the clearly defined strategies with |
| 1894s | making minion types just synergize |
| 1895s | together uh the good old comps that we |
| 1898s | know work really well are not |
| 1899s | necessarily uh quite so obvious now |
| 1902s | there's a lot more maneuverability you |
| 1904s | have to go for |
| 1905s | in mixing and matching different strats |
| 1908s | as we do larinda jump into our first |
| 1910s | lobby of the day yep look lively because |
| 1913s | we are going to have a lot of |
| 1914s | information flying at us at all |
| 1917s | directions for the request we haven't |
| 1919s | cast quests before so bear with us while |
| 1921s | we get the hang of it i'm sure we'll get |
| 1922s | the hang of it reasonably quickly but |
| 1924s | you know it might take a moment or two |
| 1925s | more than you expect |
| 1927s | okay right out the gate zixo murloc |
| 1929s | homes how we feeling about the new hero |
| 1932s | um i like it i think i just said i like |
| 1934s | ice like mana cheek gold cheat whatever |
| 1937s | um sort of they were showing is picking |
| 1939s | yog over galley in the choices which is |
| 1942s | absolutely |
| 1944s | ludicrous to me but we shall see yeah |
| 1946s | here's ziggs on the murloc homes i like |
| 1948s | it i think it's basically |
| 1951s | a free gold almost all the time it does |
| 1954s | occasionally try and trip you up |
| 1955s | especially with if there's like alley |
| 1957s | cats in play |
| 1959s | um but in general i think it's just a |
| 1961s | solid gold cheating hero and i think |
| 1964s | that's what you want you don't know what |
| 1965s | your quest is going to be so you want to |
| 1966s | be able to afford to do whatever it |
| 1968s | wants you to do when it comes up |
| 1970s | so in terms of this early game are there |
| 1971s | any |
| 1972s | kind of lobby warping heroes that have |
| 1975s | been picked right now i know that you |
| 1977s | very often have to consider uh milhouse |
| 1979s | and scabs the two gnomes in the lobby uh |
| 1981s | in order to as to how you're going to |
| 1983s | play against them in the early game |
| 1985s | i mean milhouse for me again my mmr |
| 1988s | isn't up with these players where mmr is |
| 1990s | okay |
| 1991s | um milhouse is just ludicrous right now |
| 1994s | there's so many things that say |
| 1996s | buy 16 of a minion or spend so much gold |
| 2000s | milhouse does all that stuff so well |
| 2002s | and not only that he does it whilst |
| 2005s | building a board that just doesn't take |
| 2006s | damage in the first five or six turns |
| 2008s | because he's getting things |
| 2010s | 50 quicker than anybody else so yeah |
| 2012s | milhouse absolutely |
| 2014s | what is going on here for cece |
| 2018s | hello how do you want to do this how on |
| 2020s | earth are we playing this i mean you |
| 2021s | have plenty of options the level being |
| 2023s | the most obvious one you have sell by |
| 2026s | sell buy to just give yourself the |
| 2028s | pre-loaded triple that you could |
| 2030s | activate at any time by just selling |
| 2032s | your final elemental uh but i feel like |
| 2034s | that's maybe not the most constructive |
| 2036s | use of your gold in the next couple |
| 2039s | turns |
| 2040s | it's got armor you can just take some |
| 2042s | damage and just sell level next turn |
| 2045s | yeah be on three with a minion in play |
| 2048s | with the triple locked up with a quest |
| 2049s | to come the turn after |
| 2051s | i'm more than happy to sit and watch |
| 2052s | this for a couple of turns i'll go with |
| 2054s | subtle's judgment because subtle's a |
| 2055s | better judge than i |
| 2058s | see this progress will be quite |
| 2059s | interesting i think |
| 2060s | yeah and by holding on to two uh |
| 2062s | sellamentals as well there's always the |
| 2064s | slim chance that you could find another |
| 2066s | one for two triples uh at the same time |
| 2069s | with the tripling the cellis and the |
| 2071s | water droplets as well which would very |
| 2072s | happily gobble up but now as we take a |
| 2075s | look around you know nothing too |
| 2076s | surprising so far zephyrus going for |
| 2078s | three on three as we just saw there i |
| 2081s | believe |
| 2082s | which like you said is a bit of a |
| 2083s | controversial curve right now setting up |
| 2085s | into the quest turn |
| 2087s | yeah |
| 2088s | controversial or yeah okay let's give it |
| 2090s | a controversial that's fine uh certainly |
| 2093s | interesting right you |
| 2094s | really no one has decided which way to |
| 2096s | go on three on three it's definitely |
| 2099s | what's the word i'm looking for that |
| 2100s | isn't controversial |
| 2101s | but simulatable |
| 2103s | yeah debatable it's in the us highly |
| 2105s | contested yeah yeah keep going keep |
| 2107s | going yeah you're like hundreds and |
| 2108s | hundreds of different |
| 2110s | as river pools are building up an |
| 2111s | incredibly powerful looking board and |
| 2113s | milhouse so powerful that he's able to |
| 2115s | just hold stuff back in case there's |
| 2117s | something that says play out your |
| 2118s | minions |
| 2120s | uh no need to overplay stuff in your |
| 2121s | hand right now very nicely done |
| 2124s | all right it's quest time everybody good |
| 2127s | here we go |
| 2128s | the most important turn that we have |
| 2130s | here and it's going to be interesting to |
| 2131s | see how we can make it work snicker |
| 2133s | snack looking a little bit difficult to |
| 2135s | make work increasing stats not the |
| 2137s | easiest thing to do here add 30 cards to |
| 2140s | your hand obviously working pretty well |
| 2142s | with the milhouse whereas refreshing |
| 2145s | bob's tavern not so much right yeah i |
| 2148s | want the evil twin here um i think he's |
| 2150s | got the health and the position to do it |
| 2151s | it will take a little bit of time |
| 2153s | but evil twin |
| 2155s | is |
| 2156s | pretty spectacularly good when you get |
| 2159s | it going |
| 2160s | i just want to see what else a lot but |
| 2161s | elementals are in as well which means |
| 2163s | you can get um |
| 2165s | massive |
| 2167s | massive rocks and |
| 2169s | yeah double them they also trigger when |
| 2171s | they come into play with the evil twin |
| 2172s | to get even more buffs if you get like a |
| 2174s | master of realities and you've got a |
| 2175s | large rock and you get another one that |
| 2177s | comes into play all those things trigger |
| 2179s | each other |
| 2180s | room goes it was henchman but i didn't |
| 2182s | see what he had to do to get them me |
| 2184s | neither yeah but tiny henchmen you know |
| 2187s | no divine shields right now but not |
| 2188s | technically terrible some very |
| 2191s | interesting options here for tessura |
| 2193s | stolen gold uh was definitely the |
| 2196s | premier quest i think beforehand but we |
| 2198s | can already see there five elementals or |
| 2200s | demons is quite a lot to uh make work |
| 2204s | yeah it is quite a lot |
| 2207s | though |
| 2208s | there we go another triple where all |
| 2210s | these triples coming from so early |
| 2214s | okay going for parasol in the end as |
| 2216s | well i believe which uh you know we |
| 2219s | don't have beasts which does make it a |
| 2221s | little bit worse as you're obviously |
| 2222s | thinking that was the synergy with baron |
| 2224s | rivender sorry it's generally where |
| 2226s | you're looking to go uh but it's still |
| 2230s | pretty good potentially uh you can get |
| 2232s | some synergies working or just for the |
| 2233s | moment rely on a plus eight health every |
| 2235s | turn being a decent play |
| 2238s | can you just |
| 2239s | carry on for a second well i thought |
| 2241s | something |
| 2242s | i should be with you just a second sorry |
| 2244s | about that everybody |
| 2247s | all right tessera feeling the wrath of |
| 2249s | milhouse right now |
| 2251s | uh and taking a pretty big hit but i |
| 2252s | think that quest will be a big boon to |
| 2254s | him if he's finally able to get it |
| 2256s | completed sleepy as we were talking |
| 2258s | about on the uh the three-on-three curve |
| 2260s | does seem to be stabilizing actually |
| 2263s | decently well ending up with the |
| 2264s | deflector bot is obviously the huge |
| 2266s | amount of tempo that you are looking for |
| 2268s | and then the classic unmagnetized uh |
| 2272s | menace meaning that you are able to get |
| 2274s | the |
| 2275s | okay i'm hippie on the uh the divine |
| 2278s | shield and all in all i think sleepy is |
| 2280s | kind of walking away from the three on |
| 2283s | three relatively i won't say unscathed |
| 2286s | because he is lowest on health right now |
| 2287s | but he's starting to stabilize uh at |
| 2289s | least and let if he can keep dodging the |
| 2291s | more powerful heroes uh like zixo and |
| 2295s | ribapusa on the uh murloc and milhouse |
| 2298s | are you gonna teach me how to roll ours |
| 2300s | right that's gonna be fun for me thanks |
| 2305s | okay |
| 2306s | back to zigzo who has |
| 2309s | a really sketchy board going on at the |
| 2312s | moment and just cobbled together any old |
| 2316s | rubbish |
| 2317s | i'm just waiting for an update on how |
| 2319s | his quest is we're going to see that |
| 2321s | fairly soon he's going pretty well |
| 2324s | he's got a loser to to tie two combats |
| 2326s | and i'll find out what the reward is in |
| 2328s | just a moment |
| 2329s | okay that's interesting because luzo |
| 2331s | tied two combats like he can do that but |
| 2334s | he's currently top of the lobby and he |
| 2336s | seems relatively powerful right now with |
| 2338s | his double piggyback imps as well uh but |
| 2341s | i guess deliberately kind of slowing |
| 2342s | down a little bit and uh juicing this uh |
| 2345s | wardens instead to get some gold |
| 2350s | and it is the one the end of turn give |
| 2352s | your right most minion stealth plus |
| 2353s | eight health whatever that's called he's |
| 2355s | got parasol as well okay yeah so he's |
| 2357s | gonna be yeah yeah so he's gonna be |
| 2359s | pretty well set either way here |
| 2362s | um |
| 2364s | should be able to |
| 2366s | make things work just checking there's |
| 2367s | no beast in the lobby right i haven't |
| 2368s | seen any beasts so i assume there's no |
| 2370s | no |
| 2372s | a bit harder to cheat with the stealth |
| 2374s | but still just a good |
| 2376s | reward to have giving things plus eight |
| 2378s | health it |
| 2379s | adds up but again you really want to |
| 2381s | cheat with a baron or something when you |
| 2382s | have that quest later on |
| 2384s | and this is what i hate about zikzo man |
| 2386s | is that obviously he makes winning look |
| 2388s | easy but the fact that he makes losing |
| 2390s | look easy as well like taking exactly |
| 2392s | one star of minion |
| 2394s | on the quest where he actually wants to |
| 2396s | lose like he's better at losing than me |
| 2398s | as well as better at winning it's just a |
| 2400s | kick in the teeth yeah losing by the |
| 2402s | ideal amount |
| 2404s | so what are we thinking here in terms of |
| 2406s | taverns that you want to triple into are |
| 2408s | we greeting this all the way to six for |
| 2410s | tessura now that he's got the quest |
| 2412s | completion he maybe has a little bit |
| 2414s | more health uh to be working with uh or |
| 2418s | do you want to see this go for uh |
| 2420s | just a five star for him |
| 2423s | i |
| 2424s | see how far i can push it 29. |
| 2427s | on that kind of border isn't it |
| 2430s | like i think killing i think he's gonna |
| 2433s | have to take her |
| 2435s | a five i think i don't know it depends |
| 2439s | how this fight goes but what is it it's |
| 2440s | turn six now this board |
| 2444s | if it goes wrong will take quite a bit |
| 2446s | of damage |
| 2448s | yeah i think he's gonna have to take a |
| 2449s | five i could be wrong i've been wrong |
| 2451s | many times before let's let's see if he |
| 2453s | has an okay fight here |
| 2455s | just an update on zick so his question |
| 2456s | is actually to have 20 minions die |
| 2459s | and it's bribe so after this oh really |
| 2462s | yeah all right okay we are again this is |
| 2464s | a rather hodgepodge solution to uh |
| 2467s | finding out what the quests are as it is |
| 2468s | very difficult to uh see before they're |
| 2471s | activated for the spectator so when i |
| 2473s | said that zixo meant to lose there yeah |
| 2475s | she didn't he was trying to be as strong |
| 2476s | as possible and i was just hardcore |
| 2478s | bm'ing him so sorry for that didn't you |
| 2480s | think to die though so okay now we're |
| 2481s | gonna go for six here by the way |
| 2484s | having tied this fight oh yeah you're |
| 2486s | happy to go for six |
| 2487s | i'm not happy but i'm going for it |
| 2491s | i think to sir is too man it's greedy |
| 2494s | but it could pay off big time |
| 2499s | there's enough right you can buff your |
| 2501s | 8 21 turn into real minion you shouldn't |
| 2504s | get leeroy yet |
| 2507s | that's sleepy leveling to five as well |
| 2510s | getting the triple that's going to be a |
| 2512s | pretty important one to take a look at i |
| 2513s | think because he is very low on health |
| 2516s | right now and relying heavily on that |
| 2517s | six drop to help him stabilize yeah |
| 2519s | sleepy is one of those players who does |
| 2521s | enjoy playing aggressively at least when |
| 2522s | i've watched him play he's one of those |
| 2523s | players who just doesn't seem to die but |
| 2526s | like xq and it's like how can you do |
| 2527s | this and get away with it and just gets |
| 2529s | away with it somehow all right what have |
| 2531s | we got mantid queen queen |
| 2534s | kind of a late game hero uh oh sorry a |
| 2536s | unit to be getting to get these kind of |
| 2538s | end game boards not necessarily |
| 2540s | immediate high tempo if you don't have |
| 2542s | the number of minion types oh look at |
| 2544s | this shot though we didn't see the war |
| 2546s | gear which makes a bit of a difference |
| 2547s | here we go yeah that helps things huh |
| 2551s | this is strong but it's not |
| 2554s | necessarily a winner right now is it it |
| 2557s | probably is uh but this could all go a |
| 2559s | little wrong for sleepy if he meets the |
| 2561s | wrong uh opponent |
| 2563s | yeah using the health though still on 19 |
| 2565s | so you know mostly you take obviously |
| 2567s | the damage cap is 15 so that's okay viva |
| 2571s | is a complete inquest here with milhouse |
| 2573s | saying getting those 30 shouldn't take |
| 2575s | too long it's turned seven |
| 2578s | i've been getting an evil twin as well |
| 2580s | which uh hey |
| 2582s | we're just juicing this uh uh this |
| 2584s | tavern tip for every turn it's worked |
| 2586s | out in huge amounts of tempo for him |
| 2588s | here |
| 2589s | yeah and it's gonna be crazy right |
| 2590s | because he's got little rags so stuff |
| 2592s | something is going to get huge even if |
| 2594s | you're not quite sure what's going to |
| 2595s | get huge |
| 2596s | um |
| 2598s | this is just going to go off the charts |
| 2600s | in very little time he needs it to |
| 2602s | because he's you know |
| 2604s | very slightly weaker than some of the |
| 2605s | others now but only a fraction he is |
| 2607s | going to go nutty here look at this |
| 2609s | elemental setup i love it rock |
| 2611s | is going to go crazy yeah the whole |
| 2613s | thing is going to go off this turn i |
| 2614s | should think |
| 2617s | what is the ontavent here for so we |
| 2619s | obviously need to find the |
| 2621s | uh recycler as soon as possible start |
| 2624s | switching through trying to find the |
| 2626s | other major domo as well if at all |
| 2628s | possible tessura tripling now finally |
| 2630s | into his sixth cost and he's greeted |
| 2633s | with a fisa |
| 2636s | i think |
| 2638s | these three spell bursts in hand it's a |
| 2639s | little bit of tempo uh uh immediately |
| 2642s | and of course the potential for some |
| 2643s | really big scaling uh but the newly |
| 2646s | added gar or returned gar i should say |
| 2648s | is that strong enough to take without |
| 2649s | any |
| 2650s | uh current |
| 2652s | uh elemental synergy just for set up in |
| 2654s | a couple turns i think when you've sort |
| 2657s | of gone to |
| 2658s | your six drops so soon it is just a |
| 2660s | little bit too sketchy for a girl |
| 2662s | obviously if you know you're gonna hit |
| 2663s | that you might have changed your mind |
| 2664s | but um |
| 2665s | think that when you when you push your |
| 2667s | luck like he did over the last couple of |
| 2669s | turns |
| 2670s | i think you then have to not push it |
| 2672s | again |
| 2673s | so you just take the safe option in the |
| 2674s | atheism just get on with your life you |
| 2676s | you've pushed it you pushed it you |
| 2677s | pushed it |
| 2678s | and now is the time to |
| 2680s | sort of cash in on the |
| 2682s | the aggro that you've had |
| 2684s | first time we've seen some overseers by |
| 2685s | the way |
| 2687s | it's observable obviously i can never |
| 2689s | remember it's legion anyway legion |
| 2690s | overseer yes or subtle's the observer |
| 2692s | this is the overseer but i think uh |
| 2694s | suttle wishes uh that he was the |
| 2696s | overseer because he was uh preaching the |
| 2699s | gospel of how busted this card truly is |
| 2703s | uh |
| 2704s | does it need synergy with demons to make |
| 2706s | it work or are you just insta picking |
| 2707s | that whenever you see it |
| 2710s | uh |
| 2711s | i think you just insta pick it honestly |
| 2714s | just realize that this is um scabs with |
| 2716s | double discover and complete a quest |
| 2719s | oh okay okay kind of the the most |
| 2721s | idiotic dumb thing you can do in all of |
| 2723s | quests right now that's kind of sick |
| 2726s | just cheat every single turn |
| 2730s | ah |
| 2731s | it's really silly |
| 2733s | there's gonna be triples the law for him |
| 2735s | uh |
| 2737s | he's gonna take a beating derek yeah |
| 2740s | this kind of looks like a full 15. |
| 2743s | and this is what we've been talking |
| 2744s | about with quests and we're going to |
| 2746s | talk about it a lot this weekend it's |
| 2748s | the theme of the weekend |
| 2750s | if you go for those super amazing but |
| 2752s | quite hard to complete quests |
| 2754s | like |
| 2755s | can you stand it can you can you turn |
| 2757s | the corner well we're going to find out |
| 2759s | now because he's on 13 oh my goodness |
| 2762s | there is that triple that we were |
| 2763s | talking about there's almost two of them |
| 2765s | actually with the other oversee here in |
| 2767s | the shop but we need to be thinking |
| 2769s | about what he's hitting is it a five or |
| 2770s | a six |
| 2772s | i mean |
| 2773s | he's i mean six is so good when you have |
| 2776s | this quest right is it staff of |
| 2778s | origination i think it's called |
| 2780s | um but the problem is |
| 2783s | they better be good they've got to stop |
| 2785s | dying right now fell |
| 2788s | good enough like yeah god |
| 2790s | with another overseer in the shop |
| 2793s | it's kind of sick actually yeah he's |
| 2795s | gonna everything's gonna be huge just |
| 2797s | play them they are demons with fel bats |
| 2799s | the shops are gonna be huge everything's |
| 2800s | gonna get eaten uh-huh |
| 2803s | and it's going to be big big stats it |
| 2805s | should be enough to not just stabilize |
| 2806s | but have a chance of winning the lobby |
| 2809s | right so we didn't think about the |
| 2810s | number of demons you have access to |
| 2813s | because at three you're already eating |
| 2814s | the entire shop with the double felbat |
| 2817s | but the overseer does more than just be |
| 2819s | a demon uh it further bolsters the uh |
| 2822s | the stats in play and all of this equals |
| 2824s | one heck of a turn for lighting uh if he |
| 2828s | can survive this he is a real player but |
| 2830s | this is the turn this is the time where |
| 2832s | i think he could still potentially be |
| 2834s | taken down and it's all coming down to |
| 2836s | rim gosu to see if he can take out our |
| 2839s | first player of the lobby |
| 2841s | yeah looking to triple some of these |
| 2843s | stuff that he has on the board now so |
| 2844s | it's fine to have this wide board of |
| 2846s | demons they're not all going to get |
| 2847s | dinner |
| 2848s | um but when they get golden if he |
| 2849s | survives long enough like a triple fell |
| 2851s | back etc |
| 2852s | um this will work out quite nicely as |
| 2855s | you say if he can survive |
| 2857s | oh that's a real big uh right uh wraith |
| 2861s | weaver there in order to uh |
| 2863s | try and stabilize this one rest of the |
| 2865s | minions are obviously a lot smaller than |
| 2867s | what lighting has available |
| 2871s | it should be okay even even if he loses |
| 2873s | which i don't think he will now even if |
| 2875s | he does lose he's he's going to be alive |
| 2877s | anyway |
| 2879s | it looks like he's just clutched out huh |
| 2881s | yeah |
| 2882s | and now this next turn stuff's going to |
| 2884s | go pretty crazy he did manage to lose it |
| 2886s | but again |
| 2888s | shakes his head but sure and sleepy |
| 2891s | early push did not pay off takes that |
| 2894s | eighth place |
| 2896s | and that's what we were saying man those |
| 2898s | what triple into six and he walks away |
| 2899s | with a faux reaper |
| 2902s | buffs it up a little bit but this is i |
| 2904s | think kind of what you were leaning into |
| 2905s | right is the |
| 2907s | maybe sleepy's hand was forced into what |
| 2909s | he could go for his options on tavern |
| 2910s | tier two may have been terrible but |
| 2912s | going for this three on three greedy |
| 2914s | leveling strat it's very risky right now |
| 2916s | against players who can turbo complete |
| 2918s | their quests and then you lose one bad |
| 2920s | fight and you're out of here |
| 2922s | yeah it's gonna be an ongoing argument i |
| 2924s | think because i'm i'm a fan and i know |
| 2926s | that i'm sort of against a grain of |
| 2927s | three on three so i'm going to be |
| 2928s | cheering for anyone who goes three on |
| 2930s | three so i'm off to a bad start there |
| 2932s | better hire a recruit um i i do think |
| 2935s | that in general the consensus is the |
| 2937s | other way but it's gonna be interesting |
| 2938s | to see |
| 2940s | meanwhile just over here just you know |
| 2943s | doing the thing that we did in the |
| 2944s | previous two lobby legends which is just |
| 2946s | make some big nagas |
| 2948s | thought this has stopped happening |
| 2951s | never it's pretty sick here as well |
| 2953s | right that critter wrangler is so juicy |
| 2956s | uh the question just about what you want |
| 2957s | to cycle |
| 2959s | out i guess you can just get rid of the |
| 2962s | archer right |
| 2969s | harvesting servos |
| 2971s | hold on to the glow scale for return |
| 2972s | yeah sure |
| 2975s | choosing doesn't need to be going |
| 2977s | high tempo he is against sleeping on |
| 2979s | this turn which means he has a little |
| 2980s | bit more wow okay a little bit more uh |
| 2984s | maneuverability and how he goes about |
| 2986s | this does not necessarily need to go all |
| 2987s | in right now as much as possible but |
| 2989s | with the option available for triple |
| 2991s | glow scale on the following turn tessura |
| 2994s | himself starting to scale but really |
| 2996s | wants to triple into an officer or i |
| 2998s | think he might be not quite quick enough |
| 3001s | lighting again doubling down on these |
| 3003s | fell backs here is it enough to stand up |
| 3005s | against say |
| 3006s | yeah it's real close |
| 3010s | that was bad that was a really bad hit |
| 3012s | for lighting there |
| 3015s | that might be enough to see him out of |
| 3016s | here oh these hits are not the one man |
| 3020s | oh the leroy hitting into the biggest |
| 3022s | health minion was a big deal though i |
| 3024s | don't know if he was favored if that |
| 3025s | missed but he is out of here and again |
| 3028s | we're seeing |
| 3030s | how this is going to go down the people |
| 3031s | with the early temper the people who |
| 3032s | haven't sort of gone too greedy seem to |
| 3035s | be at this point in lobby one game one |
| 3038s | so everything's solved already obviously |
| 3041s | um |
| 3042s | so far the greedier players are not |
| 3044s | paying off as we just go back into |
| 3045s | milhouse doing milhouse things |
| 3047s | yeah he seems to have hit the uh oh kind |
| 3050s | of hand you're looking to do with the |
| 3052s | rape there as well oh that's so clutch |
| 3056s | i love it |
| 3057s | i'm a big fan of doing this in milhouse |
| 3059s | like it's so easy even i could do it i |
| 3060s | can't do it as efficiently as these |
| 3062s | players especially ripper pizza but |
| 3064s | even i can make this strategy work |
| 3066s | it's nice |
| 3068s | it's just so funny though as well that |
| 3069s | for two players who have hit evil twin |
| 3071s | now it's not whatever they're focusing |
| 3073s | on that's become the minion they're |
| 3074s | copying it's just talented but right for |
| 3077s | uh everyone who's going for it |
| 3079s | but now it's getting overtaken slowly um |
| 3082s | it's also |
| 3084s | it's just nice to play that |
| 3086s | hey you've got to leave a gap which |
| 3088s | means you've always got that space |
| 3090s | available every turn to just sell |
| 3091s | through |
| 3092s | obviously there's still more strategy |
| 3094s | how's he's going to get this recycling |
| 3095s | rate into play is going to be |
| 3097s | interesting to see |
| 3098s | um you might have to wait until he gets |
| 3100s | a triple for that |
| 3102s | but mainly you've always got that gap |
| 3103s | there so selling stuff through is is |
| 3106s | fine |
| 3110s | what are you thinking just like end on |
| 3112s | selfless hero we don't really want to |
| 3113s | sell this bristle back even though it's |
| 3115s | the non |
| 3116s | uh ellie out of the squad right |
| 3123s | yeah |
| 3124s | you'll know when you see it with me a |
| 3126s | house is often my answer that's a real |
| 3127s | cop-out cast to answer but |
| 3129s | a lot of the time something comes up |
| 3130s | you're just like okay that's that's the |
| 3131s | way i get out of this one i just gather |
| 3134s | a few cards in hand and suddenly you get |
| 3135s | a triple and make a space that way |
| 3137s | all right anima bribe is the quest for |
| 3140s | seisei as we can see how he was able to |
| 3143s | juice up these stats so nicely there was |
| 3145s | a |
| 3146s | selfless hero in the shop which i |
| 3147s | imagine was where his head was at trying |
| 3149s | to get that buffed up taunt it and then |
| 3151s | rely on that to uh |
| 3154s | yeah help with his already very high |
| 3156s | stats now he just needs some divine |
| 3158s | shield some poison to round out this uh |
| 3161s | pretty impressive lead he's got himself |
| 3162s | here |
| 3163s | yeah and again overseer in the shop on |
| 3165s | top of being curtis so obviously in the |
| 3168s | in the board sorry on top of being |
| 3170s | curtis so everything just automatically |
| 3172s | big in those shops again synergizing |
| 3174s | with the quest beautifully |
| 3178s | and |
| 3179s | another imp in the shop there as we see |
| 3181s | um room gosu just taking the sixth with |
| 3184s | the yog remember he chose that over |
| 3185s | gallywix |
| 3187s | which |
| 3189s | for me was |
| 3190s | you mentioned the word controversial |
| 3191s | that's controversial to me unless i'm |
| 3193s | missing something massive about how good |
| 3195s | yoga is |
| 3196s | yeah i guess just higher quest oh sorry |
| 3198s | higher armature being very valuable to |
| 3200s | our players both in terms of the armor |
| 3202s | to buy you some more time and slightly |
| 3204s | easier to complete quest rewards |
| 3206s | and we might see that more and more |
| 3210s | uh but how does this board change now uh |
| 3212s | for android 5 because this looks kind of |
| 3214s | uh |
| 3216s | unflexible in terms of how you can cycle |
| 3219s | through to actually make this board |
| 3220s | better |
| 3221s | yeah this is strange right because |
| 3223s | there's still five players left so you |
| 3225s | don't know where you stand with all your |
| 3226s | tech cards in the front lined up there |
| 3228s | ready to go this is more of a heads up |
| 3230s | sort of finish where you know exactly |
| 3232s | what you're trying to be i feel |
| 3235s | like you're looking for an excuse to |
| 3238s | sell something through and like you say |
| 3239s | it's very inflexible kind of stuck here |
| 3241s | for a while i think now |
| 3243s | maybe we'll just see that board |
| 3245s | do that um he's got the dagger |
| 3248s | though he is he is scaling naturally |
| 3250s | with the the plus four plus four death |
| 3251s | battles but that's it |
| 3254s | we finally take a look back over at zixo |
| 3255s | who was in first place for the longest |
| 3257s | time finally starting to fall down a |
| 3259s | life total which he can very much die |
| 3261s | he's just been straight vibing uh with |
| 3264s | the |
| 3264s | gem splitter and then of course uh |
| 3266s | cycling through with anima bribe as well |
| 3269s | it seems to beef up these divine |
| 3271s | shieldies uh but he's starting to get to |
| 3274s | that point where |
| 3276s | he's not necessarily out tempoing the |
| 3278s | players anymore because they've hit |
| 3279s | their scaling and they're starting to uh |
| 3282s | out scale him theoretically at this |
| 3284s | point with the nagas for example i'm |
| 3285s | enjoying zxo's board though something |
| 3287s | we're seeing more and more in recent |
| 3290s | battlegrounds is like just some stuff |
| 3293s | this stuff just it's it's synergetic |
| 3295s | stuff but it's not just like i've taken |
| 3297s | all the mechs or something it's just |
| 3298s | some stuff |
| 3300s | all right we're gonna need to see some |
| 3301s | super clutch hits here for android 5. he |
| 3304s | has sniped the minion this game for |
| 3306s | health twice in a row now i think or the |
| 3308s | divine shield and then the health uh but |
| 3311s | not quite gonna be enough to take out |
| 3313s | this hundred health poison minion here |
| 3316s | on the other side that i think is gonna |
| 3318s | be the end for and god five and uh our |
| 3321s | second representative from china in |
| 3322s | lobby a out before top four |
| 3326s | yeah and big deal obviously for china |
| 3328s | they're having this bad start but i'm |
| 3330s | sure that the chinese players will be |
| 3332s | back later to do well oh my goodness |
| 3334s | what is this refresh wow |
| 3341s | so if we were to triple what are the uh |
| 3342s | six drops that we're looking for is it |
| 3344s | just manted or are there any any other |
| 3346s | spicy ones i always think fell back with |
| 3348s | observer in hand but it might be a |
| 3350s | little late but with the the double imp |
| 3352s | available um failbacks bring some mind |
| 3354s | mantid always springs to mind you're |
| 3356s | quite right |
| 3358s | um |
| 3361s | about it i'm sure there's a couple of |
| 3362s | others but that's about it i think |
| 3364s | it feels worth it because otherwise |
| 3366s | you're you're leveling on this turn |
| 3368s | which you know it is reasonable to try |
| 3369s | and hit the mantids the hard way uh but |
| 3371s | it's really only like |
| 3373s | leroy |
| 3374s | selfless maybe a baron |
| 3377s | that you're looking for to bolster this |
| 3378s | further |
| 3379s | definitely apparent |
| 3381s | yeah |
| 3383s | he's fine there you can sell through |
| 3384s | things and just |
| 3385s | see what happens with the um observer |
| 3387s | buffing stats in the tab and just keep |
| 3389s | buying and selling stuff be mini devil |
| 3392s | yep exactly with that fake devil |
| 3400s | okay nice synergy with the |
| 3404s | antedid in order to give it more likely |
| 3405s | to mind shield we'll take that |
| 3407s | just check you don't want the theater |
| 3409s | you don't but you always have to look |
| 3413s | yeah |
| 3415s | sure yeah yeah i mean we take the |
| 3416s | thought but i don't really see it being |
| 3418s | massively clutch but |
| 3420s | nice |
| 3421s | fell back with |
| 3422s | this shot 52-54 munch munch |
| 3426s | that is pretty clutch though hey |
| 3428s | it's pretty ridiculous hey |
| 3430s | there we go did he hit as well did he go |
| 3432s | straight onto the one of the um the imps |
| 3434s | i think so |
| 3436s | which means it's a hecking big m |
| 3439s | yeah we're not |
| 3440s | one of course it did why wouldn't it |
| 3442s | looks to be big enough to beat these |
| 3444s | nagas i think the uh the scaling from |
| 3448s | this is massive |
| 3449s | it just |
| 3450s | yeah |
| 3451s | just not quite big enough right |
| 3453s | yeah look it's gonna be stupid now this |
| 3455s | is just like one giant something there |
| 3457s | you go have a giant something in your |
| 3459s | face and yeah |
| 3461s | another player out |
| 3463s | all right down to the three yeah as you |
| 3465s | say zigzag taking the loss there i think |
| 3467s | but only losing eight health against |
| 3469s | milhouse |
| 3470s | uh and as we're looking at this does |
| 3472s | this look like the kind of border that |
| 3474s | can be uh imp |
| 3476s | nonsense on the other side uh that we |
| 3479s | saw cesar going for |
| 3481s | probably not actually obviously i think |
| 3483s | the ground shakers the play here it |
| 3486s | depends on how much knowledge zigza has |
| 3488s | how big the things are he's against |
| 3490s | right right |
| 3491s | if he knows what he's against the ground |
| 3493s | shaker doesn't get there but as a |
| 3494s | generic what's my best play play |
| 3497s | ground shaker with constant source of |
| 3501s | gems is just a nice looking play but |
| 3503s | maybe he has information that you know |
| 3505s | it's not going to get there so he'll |
| 3507s | look for something more greedy |
| 3509s | okay taking the recycling wraith and the |
| 3512s | schmoger instead |
| 3516s | i mean if he's trying to cycle through i |
| 3520s | okay just trying to give himself the |
| 3522s | biggest possible uh earth shaker on this |
| 3524s | turn instead okay okay sure |
| 3529s | go |
| 3534s | it's just stuff right and then |
| 3537s | you can sell and buy now you make the |
| 3539s | thing bigger so it synergizes with a |
| 3541s | hero how it synergizes with the fact |
| 3543s | you've got a constant source of gems |
| 3546s | and against what i was talking about |
| 3547s | earlier with the modern battlegrounds |
| 3548s | this is just |
| 3549s | yeah there's nothing new about gem |
| 3551s | splitter divine shield mechs that's not |
| 3553s | a new thing but yeah just throwing other |
| 3556s | bits and pieces in there making it work |
| 3557s | with your quest that's what's going to |
| 3559s | be interesting over time |
| 3563s | all right let's see if there are any |
| 3564s | upgrades along the way for session |
| 3567s | misses out on |
| 3568s | baron |
| 3569s | uh but the scaling from this fell velvet |
| 3571s | is getting pretty clutch actually now |
| 3573s | with a huge oversee in addition to |
| 3576s | obviously the massive imps as well |
| 3579s | yeah and zigzag shaking his head i don't |
| 3581s | think he's particularly surprised about |
| 3583s | what he saw he'll have seen demon six or |
| 3585s | whatever this is right now so we'd have |
| 3586s | an idea what he was against but he's |
| 3588s | gonna be a bit sad because |
| 3590s | he was about to start making absolute |
| 3593s | monstrous stuff himself with this |
| 3595s | you know combination he had going |
| 3598s | uh but finishes third he'll be okay with |
| 3600s | that yeah it's good right that was a |
| 3602s | third maybe second place kind of board |
| 3605s | he had there right so i think he should |
| 3607s | be happy with what he was able to |
| 3608s | achieve uh but for rubber pusa right now |
| 3610s | this does not look to me like the kind |
| 3612s | of board that can stand up to what we |
| 3613s | just saw so |
| 3616s | if he knows what he's up against which i |
| 3617s | think he can have a pretty good idea of |
| 3619s | start to work through what his opponent |
| 3620s | might have |
| 3622s | uh what is he looking for what can |
| 3623s | possibly turn this into a win for him i |
| 3626s | mean this is the stock answer but the |
| 3628s | answer is always leroy right |
| 3630s | a couple of leroys hit your opponent um |
| 3633s | maybe again more stock answers gold and |
| 3635s | selfless |
| 3637s | balance something like that he hasn't |
| 3638s | managed to get |
| 3640s | this |
| 3641s | triple um if you can triple |
| 3644s | this wildfire and just make that huge |
| 3646s | don't forget he's got the evil twin he'd |
| 3648s | have two of those |
| 3650s | that's big that would be a gigantic |
| 3652s | thing also the evil twin doesn't put the |
| 3654s | minion on the right hand side it puts it |
| 3656s | on the right hand side of the thing it |
| 3657s | copies yeah so he could put like |
| 3660s | wildfire put um something up front to |
| 3662s | bump and wildfire second he would be |
| 3664s | able to get two massive |
| 3666s | breathes or cleaves or whatever you want |
| 3668s | to call them in |
| 3669s | if he could turn if he could triple this |
| 3671s | that might be a way out as well |
| 3677s | yeah divine shield you can give yourself |
| 3678s | two divine shields with the evil twin we |
| 3680s | will gobble that up every day of the |
| 3682s | week |
| 3683s | and as long as you leave yourself board |
| 3684s | space which he has |
| 3687s | like you say it's the best chance he's |
| 3688s | possibly got but it's gonna be a real |
| 3692s | struggle |
| 3692s | yeah confirmation from soto remember |
| 3694s | that he's on milhouse as well the |
| 3696s | proposal that he spent the whole last |
| 3697s | turn just rolling down trying to hit the |
| 3699s | triple here as well makes sense and just |
| 3701s | um |
| 3702s | if you if you haven't made this clear |
| 3704s | soft low observer for the day very much |
| 3705s | appreciate it as always doing a |
| 3707s | wonderful job thanks subtle that's the |
| 3709s | one you get |
| 3713s | and the one that |
| 3714s | is going to get is going to be a big one |
| 3717s | straight to the dome i think because |
| 3720s | these minions they're just not racking |
| 3722s | up are they not quite big enough no to |
| 3724s | say looking like you're going to take |
| 3725s | this one down |
| 3727s | uh second lobby legends final day for |
| 3730s | ceci say |
| 3732s | not quite yet still not dead even if he |
| 3734s | won the fight but like you say we're |
| 3736s | going to see a miraculous turnaround |
| 3738s | to be able to beat sa who has in his own |
| 3741s | right some pretty big scaling options |
| 3742s | can he hit them that's a second selfless |
| 3745s | which means we're looking for another |
| 3746s | potential triple another glow scale |
| 3748s | which we will very happily take as well |
| 3750s | to throw back down on that alley but |
| 3753s | still we need either another selfless or |
| 3756s | another wildfire |
| 3757s | yeah |
| 3759s | the wildfire is the big deal the selfish |
| 3761s | is definitely a deal of sorts |
| 3763s | if he hits this wildfire because the |
| 3765s | evil twin it would i don't think it |
| 3766s | changed the game it would definitely |
| 3768s | change the game i don't think it'd be |
| 3769s | enough i think it probably would be |
| 3771s | very close though and again you can see |
| 3774s | the reason his stats are not huge like |
| 3776s | you would normally expect a milhouse to |
| 3777s | be here is because he's having to spend |
| 3779s | so much gold |
| 3780s | trying to hit this one x or wildfire |
| 3782s | it'd be great spot if he does or would |
| 3785s | have been |
| 3785s | three turns ago now |
| 3787s | it's um |
| 3790s | it's not a fallacy it's just sunk cost |
| 3791s | you kind of have to keep going because |
| 3793s | this is where you're at now there's no |
| 3794s | there's no reverse button on this this |
| 3796s | plan |
| 3797s | and it's just not gone where he wants it |
| 3800s | to go obviously |
| 3802s | well i think for river pusa even if he's |
| 3803s | not expecting to win it's reasonable to |
| 3805s | expect he might survive another round |
| 3807s | yeah if he gets another fight like the |
| 3809s | last one where he's able to kill off the |
| 3810s | legion overseer and it's just left with |
| 3812s | a huge uh imp at the end of it all |
| 3816s | uh in which case hey take this elemental |
| 3819s | able to bank a bit more gold for next |
| 3821s | turn and then try again hit that triple |
| 3824s | one of two and you're in with a shot |
| 3826s | again still |
| 3828s | yeah he's seen that he can position it |
| 3829s | first as well now so he's got the the |
| 3831s | information there we'll see if cece um |
| 3833s | does something about the positioning |
| 3834s | here to react to this |
| 3841s | yeah fairly similar board to last time |
| 3847s | okay pretty good hits so far |
| 3850s | that less so |
| 3855s | yeah |
| 3856s | yeah you're not surviving this one |
| 3858s | uh |
| 3860s | trying to work out any no you're just |
| 3861s | not |
| 3864s | no no |
| 3865s | i'll count quickly enough it was so |
| 3867s | close but he was still dead anyway |
| 3872s | yeah oh that's so clutch so nearly |
| 3874s | getting it done but that doesn't mean |
| 3876s | say say |
| 3878s | getting the win in our first lobby of |
| 3880s | the day and such a nice demonstration i |
| 3882s | think of the uh |
| 3885s | the power of anima bribe one of the |
| 3887s | coolest quest additions that's come in |
| 3890s | uh and being able to make that work in a |
| 3892s | lobby with very little poison obviously |
| 3894s | with none of the murlocs available no |
| 3895s | toxin available and so very quickly |
| 3897s | realizing doubling down on these uh imps |
| 3900s | to be able to or the devil sorry to be |
| 3902s | able to |
| 3903s | uh get as much health as possible even |
| 3905s | missing out on baron rivender but still |
| 3908s | able to scale quickly enough to the |
| 3909s | point where no one else could keep up |
| 3911s | very clever |
| 3912s | yeah very nicely done we're already |
| 3914s | seeing from all of the players i think |
| 3916s | in the lobby there even the players who |
| 3917s | sort of didn't make it by being a bit |
| 3919s | greedier |
| 3920s | how much synergy you need we've seen |
| 3922s | that bribe functioning with the |
| 3924s | um |
| 3926s | the legion and so on we're seeing a lot |
| 3928s | of that already going on in in every |
| 3930s | lobby we're going to see |
| 3932s | legion observer legion oversee what i |
| 3934s | keep calling observers oh my goodness is |
| 3935s | that going to be the one |
| 3936s | um legion overseer we're going to see it |
| 3938s | in every lobby over and over is such a |
| 3941s | good card um on for tier three shops it |
| 3945s | gives you early tempo and it functions |
| 3947s | well with stuff like the bribe all the |
| 3948s | way through we're just gonna see it over |
| 3950s | and over again all day |
| 3953s | they're very important to keep an eye on |
| 3954s | the players who finished lower down |
| 3956s | sleepy number one of course in a full |
| 3958s | eighth place after a pretty |
| 3960s | uh horrible zephyrus game never the kind |
| 3963s | you want to see where you hit the three |
| 3964s | on three don't really seem to find it |
| 3966s | many triples either uh but lighting even |
| 3968s | rim gosu as well they're going to start |
| 3971s | turning up the ante here |
| 3973s | really hitting those as i said those |
| 3975s | winning boards at the start which means |
| 3977s | for sleepy i think there's a good chance |
| 3979s | that he ends up in another eighth or |
| 3981s | glow to it not because he's playing |
| 3983s | poorly but because he needs to start |
| 3984s | taking risks and that means a lot of the |
| 3986s | time first or eighth yes i mean sleepy |
| 3990s | is a player you don't need to encourage |
| 3991s | to take risks he is an enjoyer of |
| 3994s | risky strategies at the best of times |
| 3997s | um to the point where i was |
| 4000s | back when i was streaming battlegrounds |
| 4001s | quite a lot i sort of i was streaming |
| 4003s | one down like i keep dying really early |
| 4005s | what am i doing wrong and somebody says |
| 4006s | you're watching too much sleepy |
| 4009s | it's like to be sleepy and do it that |
| 4010s | way but to copy somebody who's doing |
| 4012s | that sort of strategy and do it badly |
| 4014s | doesn't work so well so |
| 4016s | yeah |
| 4017s | all right there is the standings |
| 4019s | obviously |
| 4020s | seven six five four three two one for |
| 4021s | now |
| 4022s | no ties |
| 4025s | yeah very very simple player |
| 4027s | everyone just going out one at a time |
| 4030s | for those players in the middle i think |
| 4031s | they're probably feeling fine like and |
| 4033s | got five you know three points you |
| 4035s | you're technically below the average |
| 4036s | below the middle point but it's very |
| 4038s | much enough to be moving along with just |
| 4039s | where you can keep aiming for those uh |
| 4042s | fourths third seconds maybe something |
| 4044s | like that to try and turn this one |
| 4045s | around we'll see who of our competitors |
| 4048s | is able to do it in our coming lobbies |
| 4051s | we're back with the second game of the |
| 4053s | day after this short break |
| 4104s | you |
| 4122s | do |
| 4137s | so |
| 4228s | my |
| 4251s | welcome back to hearthstone |
| 4252s | battlegrounds lobby legends magic of |
| 4255s | azeroth a very exciting first game that |
| 4258s | we had there to introduce us to these |
| 4260s | new quests in a competitive format and |
| 4263s | lorinda with uh two of our players |
| 4265s | picking anime bribe and finishing in |
| 4267s | first and third is that going to be a |
| 4270s | common theme that we're seeing this |
| 4272s | weekend is anima bribe the top tier |
| 4274s | quest that our players are going to be |
| 4276s | looking for |
| 4277s | i mean it's too early to tell from |
| 4279s | sample size of one says the person who |
| 4281s | just uses sample size one all the time |
| 4283s | on broadcast but it is in that sweet |
| 4286s | spot of being powerful but not |
| 4289s | hard to complete particularly so the |
| 4292s | results that first one as you you |
| 4293s | pointed out coming first and third last |
| 4296s | time around um it's definitely |
| 4298s | an indicator that it's |
| 4300s | going to be seen a lot and i think i |
| 4301s | think it's just i think it is just |
| 4303s | really good i might not picked it out as |
| 4304s | the number one going in but |
| 4307s | yeah i think having watched that we |
| 4309s | might be seeing it a lot |
| 4311s | yeah i think a lot of our players going |
| 4313s | into the weekend would have expected uh |
| 4315s | stolen gold to be the number one quest |
| 4316s | where you're able to at the start of |
| 4318s | each combat make your left and right |
| 4319s | most minions golden having obvious |
| 4322s | synergy with baron rivendare |
| 4324s | is the first place where i think most |
| 4326s | people's minds go alongside the parrot |
| 4327s | but it just has endless possibilities in |
| 4330s | combat if you're creative in your |
| 4331s | thinking as to how you make it work uh |
| 4333s | but we actually see it got passed up i |
| 4335s | believe uh in that game very possibly |
| 4338s | due to the fact that it's been made a |
| 4339s | little bit more difficult to complete in |
| 4340s | a hotfix that went live over the weekend |
| 4344s | but i'm very curious to see how the |
| 4345s | different quests will come together and |
| 4348s | how frequently they will all be picked |
| 4350s | uh but moving away from the quest and |
| 4352s | over to the common comps that we're |
| 4354s | going to be seeing i'm very interested |
| 4356s | in late game compositions at this point |
| 4358s | in the metagame |
| 4359s | and wanted to know if that one we just |
| 4361s | saw where you have uh the tricksters uh |
| 4364s | as big as possible is that a typical |
| 4367s | endgame comp that we're gonna be seeing |
| 4369s | or is there anything that in your |
| 4370s | estimation is a little bit more common |
| 4372s | that our players are going to be aiming |
| 4373s | towards for those first places i think i |
| 4376s | think we're going to see it a lot again |
| 4377s | legion overseer just works well with so |
| 4379s | many quests and you just have it there |
| 4382s | ready for your fell back and they just |
| 4383s | have that natural synergy demons with a |
| 4386s | bit of a revamp over the last sort of |
| 4388s | couple of patches |
| 4390s | they they work really well now i know |
| 4392s | you're you like the flavour of demons |
| 4393s | now and i think i agree it works well |
| 4395s | but because legion oversee is just a |
| 4397s | auto buy on tier three tavern three |
| 4401s | you're there ready for your fell back so |
| 4403s | you're gonna end up there by accident a |
| 4404s | lot even if it's not your plan |
| 4406s | i think we might see a lot more of what |
| 4408s | zigzag was doing which is just here's my |
| 4410s | quest here's my card here's some stuff |
| 4412s | that kind of works here's a third place |
| 4414s | not aiming for any particular comp just |
| 4417s | staying on tier 4 maybe getting to tier |
| 4419s | 5 a bit later having enough tempo to |
| 4423s | come second or third or maybe even you |
| 4424s | know scavenger win um go to five pick up |
| 4427s | some leeways you can always win that way |
| 4429s | i think we might just see people hanging |
| 4431s | around tier four |
| 4432s | just |
| 4433s | playing some cards and seeing what |
| 4435s | happens because |
| 4437s | i i think the days of having a comp are |
| 4442s | not really there right now that would |
| 4444s | change the beast we will see |
| 4446s | some weird beast comps with the the |
| 4448s | quest you were talking about where |
| 4450s | yeah you just make things golden stick a |
| 4452s | baron on the right sticker a frog or a |
| 4455s | mama bear or something on the left etc |
| 4456s | and off you go but beast weren't in last |
| 4458s | time so we didn't get to see any of that |
| 4460s | beasts were not in and another tribe |
| 4462s | that wasn't in were dragons i believe |
| 4464s | which uh |
| 4466s | to me i think the most interesting thing |
| 4467s | about dragons right now is taragosa uh |
| 4471s | in terms of the |
| 4472s | uh the different ways that you can make |
| 4474s | it work another card that works very |
| 4475s | well with stolen gold of course to make |
| 4477s | it golden and get that permanently uh |
| 4479s | but |
| 4480s | can you it's a card i feel like every |
| 4482s | meta game it's coming i haven't been |
| 4484s | able to make it work properly and i |
| 4486s | always end up passing it up as just a |
| 4488s | four-four onto uh on the three gold tier |
| 4491s | yeah what are the different ways that |
| 4492s | you're looking to make that work were |
| 4494s | dragons to be presented ah i've been |
| 4497s | able to give it plus fifteen plus |
| 4499s | fifteen every turn like you just have it |
| 4502s | on the board what do you call it what |
| 4503s | all the quests are called at this point |
| 4505s | yeah yeah the staff plus fifteen plus |
| 4506s | three just stick it on the board |
| 4508s | complete the staff bam |
| 4511s | but obviously that quest you don't need |
| 4513s | tawagosa to win with that quest you've |
| 4515s | won if you complete that quest quickly |
| 4516s | anyway and you've lost if you take too |
| 4518s | long so |
| 4520s | because it starts getting outscaled so |
| 4522s | that's doesn't really matter |
| 4523s | uh the dragons in general just synergize |
| 4526s | with how it goes up i'm with you i think |
| 4528s | that |
| 4530s | unless the shop says here i'm a tara |
| 4532s | goes a shop with a tarragoza in it |
| 4534s | with some buffs in the shop or you're |
| 4536s | already |
| 4538s | in a situation where |
| 4539s | you're you're fiddling around your |
| 4541s | dragons are doing okay i think tara goes |
| 4543s | is quite hard to get to work but okay |
| 4545s | i've lost to it a few times so |
| 4547s | maybe we'll see these players explain to |
| 4548s | me what i'm doing wrong with my tower |
| 4550s | goes to attempts |
| 4552s | yeah i was really just hoping for some |
| 4553s | hot tips because i feel like so often my |
| 4554s | opponents have picked it and at the |
| 4556s | start it obviously looks weak but |
| 4557s | they've always managed to scale into |
| 4559s | making it look uh super super powerful |
| 4562s | which i am rarely able to do uh i can't |
| 4566s | remember if i mentioned i believe the |
| 4567s | players are just waiting to get into the |
| 4568s | game there was a slight connectivity |
| 4570s | issue which uh very glove was sorting |
| 4572s | out beforehand of course uh but uh |
| 4575s | phasing in and out of reality there uh |
| 4578s | in terms of the uh tribes that you think |
| 4580s | may be a little bit oh sorry the minion |
| 4581s | types may be a little bit weaker you |
| 4583s | talk about how there's not so much focus |
| 4585s | on specifically uh going for one minion |
| 4589s | type as an endgame um are there any that |
| 4591s | have fallen down in the the rankings of |
| 4594s | playability right now that uh are rarely |
| 4597s | gonna be focused on or you have to work |
| 4599s | really hard uh to make them playable |
| 4602s | i'm just looking across right now so i |
| 4605s | just gotta go in orders we seem to have |
| 4606s | a little bit of time beasts i think have |
| 4608s | gone up i think that the synergy of just |
| 4610s | you're talking like pure one minion type |
| 4613s | can i build this as a a more casual |
| 4615s | player playing a professional like level |
| 4618s | comp i think beast now we've talked |
| 4620s | about with the the way you can golden |
| 4622s | things in play very good demons we've |
| 4624s | seen work really well |
| 4626s | uh dragons |
| 4628s | just seem a little bit slow to me |
| 4630s | personally i think they take a while to |
| 4632s | get going elementals seem |
| 4634s | fine |
| 4636s | mex is still good mechs still work |
| 4638s | murlocs in theory are still good but |
| 4641s | we don't seem to see many pure murloc |
| 4644s | comps maybe they just a touch slow i |
| 4646s | hate saying that toxifin obviously plays |
| 4648s | a huge part in the meta but |
| 4651s | we don't seem to have the sort of whole |
| 4652s | board of 1990 murlocs we're used to |
| 4655s | naga are fine but again a bit slow |
| 4657s | pirates |
| 4658s | some of the quests interact with pirates |
| 4660s | we'll see somebody pop off with pirates |
| 4661s | later today and quillboards are just |
| 4664s | utility a lot of the time yeah true so |
| 4667s | my answer i guess the short version |
| 4669s | again having filled into to waste a bit |
| 4671s | of time but the short version is |
| 4674s | once again menagerie but not not |
| 4676s | menagerie |
| 4677s | building a menagerie board and buffing |
| 4679s | it with light fangs just literally just |
| 4680s | some stuff like zixo had i think we're |
| 4682s | gonna see a lot of some stuff |
| 4686s | the big change i think for me in terms |
| 4688s | of the common end game comps last time |
| 4690s | is the over from uh si7 to tokspin right |
| 4695s | is a pretty direct corollary between the |
| 4698s | two just to give your minions poisonous |
| 4700s | has that changed how you're able to go |
| 4702s | for murlocs a lot of the time or is it |
| 4704s | still uh you know if you see a top spin |
| 4707s | in the way you saw a stephen you'd |
| 4708s | consider transitioning over to murlocs |
| 4710s | so sephin was |
| 4713s | more |
| 4714s | value but took longer and was more |
| 4716s | scattergun so you needed more murlocs to |
| 4718s | sort of go okay to get my value i need |
| 4720s | to have five six murlocs and just go |
| 4723s | and |
| 4724s | randomly buff them all up sort of all |
| 4725s | over the place toxfin allows you not to |
| 4728s | have to do that it allows you to get a |
| 4731s | a divine |
| 4733s | shielded amalgam and just give it some |
| 4736s | poison and off you go that's your murloc |
| 4738s | done |
| 4739s | uh no messing around |
| 4741s | trying to activate your cephein so even |
| 4744s | though it's less value |
| 4745s | it is more immediately pinpoint it |
| 4747s | allows your rescue comp not to be |
| 4748s | destroyed and i think people are using |
| 4750s | that to not necessarily have to go full |
| 4752s | murlocs and take a chance plus brand is |
| 4755s | just a bit slow to get going now like |
| 4757s | you sort of need brown with murlocs and |
| 4759s | with quests you'll see a lot of people |
| 4762s | hanging around on tier four you don't |
| 4763s | want to go up to five and find a brand |
| 4765s | sure if you triple into one |
| 4767s | different game but i think we're seeing |
| 4769s | people hanging around on tier four and |
| 4770s | just |
| 4772s | not really needing to go for murlocs |
| 4774s | they're just fiddling around making |
| 4775s | numbers go big making quests go |
| 4778s | yeah sure i mean bran could be an |
| 4780s | interesting player as well in this meta |
| 4782s | game right with uh obviously some of the |
| 4785s | quests having synergy with it most |
| 4786s | obviously |
| 4788s | uh |
| 4789s | snicker snacks i think is the name of |
| 4791s | the quest where at the end of your turn |
| 4792s | you trigger two battle cries which could |
| 4794s | work very nicely with bran especially as |
| 4796s | i believe that was one of the quest |
| 4798s | rewards that got buffed uh in the hotfix |
| 4800s | making it ever so slightly easier to |
| 4802s | complete now based on whatever quest |
| 4804s | task uh you get to go alongside the |
| 4806s | reward |
| 4808s | which you know for me has been a pretty |
| 4810s | powerful effect even if you're not able |
| 4812s | to make it synergize with murlocs which |
| 4813s | are maybe the most obvious one that |
| 4815s | you're going for ending on a jug a |
| 4818s | gemstone generator a reef explorer there |
| 4821s | are some very powerful battle cries that |
| 4823s | one can be hitting but finally talk |
| 4826s | stone can end and we can jump into the |
| 4828s | lobby here another yog offered yeah |
| 4831s | secret sauce potentially available |
| 4833s | see sottles thinking here with what he's |
| 4835s | showing us surely not another yoga yeah |
| 4837s | we're going to get um |
| 4839s | so |
| 4841s | fine |
| 4843s | yog talk over donathius quest watch what |
| 4846s | we're going to get on quest number one |
| 4849s | all right definitely my new uh my |
| 4851s | favorite new hero to be playing with |
| 4852s | getting another quest offered |
| 4854s | have bob's tavern refreshed 18 times is |
| 4857s | pretty expensive but increasing a |
| 4859s | friendly million stats 18 times for |
| 4862s | victim spectre uh seems |
| 4866s | very difficult to pull off even with |
| 4868s | these two chroma wings uh available yeah |
| 4871s | i'm gonna play host for a second because |
| 4872s | i know you've got some thoughts on this |
| 4873s | how did how have you found enough your |
| 4875s | personal experience in |
| 4876s | in this matter it's been very good for |
| 4878s | me i think you know as we've talked |
| 4880s | about quests are |
| 4882s | as soon as you complete them a lot of |
| 4884s | tempo and even though you only get two |
| 4886s | options on the first one you just pick |
| 4888s | something that gives you uh nice and |
| 4890s | easy to complete and even it just gives |
| 4892s | you a little buff at the start of the |
| 4893s | game |
| 4894s | i don't know one of these ones like |
| 4896s | smoking gun the parasol anything to buff |
| 4898s | your stats a little bit uh at the start |
| 4900s | of the game uh i'm |
| 4902s | very happy every time i see tanathius |
| 4906s | yeah it's something that i make |
| 4907s | denatures above average and i'm |
| 4909s | interested to see how long i'm going to |
| 4910s | be on that most people i think think |
| 4912s | it's better than that |
| 4914s | i take the view that the first quest |
| 4916s | even though it's really good it's |
| 4917s | sometimes just a bit hard to complete |
| 4918s | and then you're stuck without a hero |
| 4920s | power trying to do your second one but |
| 4922s | it's definitely obviously good i'm not |
| 4924s | going to make some sort of controversial |
| 4925s | statement saying oh no this is garbage |
| 4927s | but |
| 4928s | it's the sort of situation you get into |
| 4929s | sometimes where your first quest is kind |
| 4932s | of hard and doesn't get you much |
| 4935s | the lighting definitely hits some |
| 4936s | scaling there which is good to see with |
| 4938s | the chrome wing the tavern tipper he |
| 4939s | should be able to get there but it's |
| 4940s | still i think at least like four turns |
| 4943s | off before he's currently uh able to get |
| 4946s | through to that donathious quest |
| 4948s | completion which means a little bit of a |
| 4949s | slow start for lighting could be |
| 4951s | potentially tanking a fair bit of damage |
| 4954s | sleepy here though in uh pretty stark |
| 4957s | contrast what we saw sorry in the |
| 4960s | previous uh lobby uh not leveling at all |
| 4963s | here uh on turn two and setting up for |
| 4967s | a |
| 4968s | uh what maybe a double level uh on turn |
| 4971s | five uh with finding some |
| 4974s | yes extra help along the way or maybe |
| 4976s | buy and level uh on this turn with |
| 4978s | achieve yeah trying to activate the the |
| 4981s | queen's ability early staying down again |
| 4983s | showing that sleepy is a very versatile |
| 4985s | player obviously zigzo here |
| 4987s | um |
| 4990s | one for the three on three |
| 4992s | yeah holding back on the droplet as well |
| 4994s | because he's saying i'm losing this one |
| 4996s | anyway maybe i can save myself one |
| 4998s | health uh by holding on to the droplet |
| 5000s | but to be honest my opponent is going to |
| 5002s | know that the only card i can have in |
| 5003s | hand is water dropulate uh and position |
| 5006s | around that so it's essentially zero |
| 5007s | difference whether you play it or not |
| 5009s | and for the quest it might be play a |
| 5010s | minion play an elemental yeah so i think |
| 5013s | it's very wise to hold here |
| 5015s | yeah something i haven't been doing very |
| 5016s | well the more i watch the players doing |
| 5017s | this is holding back for potential |
| 5019s | quests and that's that's something i |
| 5020s | think we're going to learn a lot about |
| 5022s | over the next two days is little things |
| 5024s | you can do going into the six gold turn |
| 5026s | that makes your quest completion it's |
| 5028s | just a little bit easier let's see what |
| 5029s | zigzag gets see if it gets rewarded for |
| 5030s | holding back |
| 5032s | all right question |
| 5034s | yeah we'll uh very happily take that i |
| 5036s | think |
| 5037s | taragoza the question of the day |
| 5043s | exactly yeah that's some pretty nice |
| 5045s | synergy but then gem splitter plus uh |
| 5048s | the selfless is also some pretty nice |
| 5049s | synergy plus another gem splitter that's |
| 5052s | in the shop as well right i saw just |
| 5054s | before it flashed up so |
| 5057s | plenty going on here i think arm is just |
| 5059s | not quite the take these i see god for |
| 5061s | tower goes are good he's gonna prove me |
| 5062s | a liar that's what i like |
| 5064s | all right and quest time summon nine |
| 5067s | minions relatively easy to do for red |
| 5069s | hat a potential lot of tempo but another |
| 5071s | anima bribe he picked it last game |
| 5074s | will he be taking it again with no |
| 5076s | battle cry minions currently available |
| 5079s | that's a tough one they're all tough |
| 5081s | because the cooked book is also really |
| 5084s | good if you get it going quickly enough |
| 5085s | but getting it going quickly |
| 5087s | is absolutely crucial you can't get it |
| 5089s | going by turn nine turn ten think of it |
| 5091s | like like know me like if you're going |
| 5093s | to get it online on six gold great |
| 5094s | you're gonna get it online on 10 gold |
| 5097s | you might do it for the memes but you |
| 5099s | know in your heart it's too late |
| 5103s | with the uh the buff to the third option |
| 5106s | uh on |
| 5108s | uh gale wing are you ever going for |
| 5110s | uh the more ex the longer to complete |
| 5113s | but uh reduce the cost of upgrading your |
| 5115s | tablet here or is it still always the |
| 5117s | same old strat of just spam discover a |
| 5119s | minion |
| 5120s | i think it's still spam discover minion |
| 5123s | maybe that changes with people um if |
| 5126s | they get into a situation where they're |
| 5128s | staying on tier four |
| 5129s | and they're sort of getting enough |
| 5131s | minions then maybe you could then go |
| 5134s | okay well i'm not going to go up until |
| 5136s | my ability triggers in a few turns time |
| 5137s | then i'm going to get it for free and |
| 5138s | just go up two levels maybe that's the |
| 5140s | way of getting to six |
| 5142s | uh curious to see if someone does that |
| 5143s | my instinct is no but |
| 5146s | you know it was buff because it wasn't |
| 5147s | being used but it's been buffed to be |
| 5149s | you so let's see if other players think |
| 5151s | differently to be on it but i think |
| 5152s | they'll just spam the middle |
| 5154s | slightly sad combat physics of course uh |
| 5157s | just straight up losing the uh |
| 5160s | uh taragosa straight away to not get the |
| 5162s | uh the divine shield on it uh but far |
| 5164s | from the end of the world red hand as |
| 5166s | well here it looks like for uh ruben |
| 5169s | foosa as uh our observer team are |
| 5172s | quickly copying down the quest for us so |
| 5174s | we know what they've got |
| 5176s | in the the coming turns but overall |
| 5178s | looking like a pretty decent start here |
| 5179s | uh for rumapoosa i can see just out of |
| 5182s | the corner of my eye a triple uh that he |
| 5184s | has access to with the |
| 5187s | shell collectors |
| 5189s | which even though again this is on |
| 5192s | uh |
| 5193s | milhouse so it's going to be a little |
| 5194s | bit tougher to upgrade the tavern tears |
| 5196s | enough in time uh he's strong right now |
| 5199s | and he's got time to juice up this |
| 5200s | triple if he wants to but he's just |
| 5202s | taking a tavern tier three interesting |
| 5204s | yeah he's just completing quest right |
| 5207s | now with red hand getting the plus 12 |
| 5208s | plus yeah milhouse you've just got |
| 5210s | plenty of minions in hand |
| 5212s | and over the next three or four turns |
| 5214s | just make something |
| 5216s | decent get some 12s and |
| 5221s | and then you know you might even get |
| 5223s | plus 24 plus 24 on something over time |
| 5225s | so keeping ahead of the tempo red hand |
| 5227s | is really good in this situation uh |
| 5230s | subtle letting us know from his position |
| 5232s | of |
| 5233s | all godly overseer of everything |
| 5235s | that uh milhouse could have finished the |
| 5237s | quest last turn but instead chose to |
| 5240s | float gold for the tavern tippers which |
| 5241s | i'm sure made soto very happy because he |
| 5243s | loves wasting gold as milhouse's |
| 5244s | favorite last time |
| 5248s | yeah whether it be what constructed or |
| 5250s | battlegrounds wasting man or gold is |
| 5252s | yeah unacceptable i mean a milhouse it |
| 5255s | was one of the things when i was |
| 5256s | learning the game years ago the first |
| 5258s | thing that sottle was sort of ramming |
| 5259s | into me was you do not waste gold as |
| 5261s | milhouse you cannot afford it one gold |
| 5263s | is half a minion like it's too much to |
| 5265s | waste |
| 5268s | okay let's see how he goes |
| 5272s | yeah it doesn't mean we lose out on a |
| 5273s | lot of stats on this |
| 5275s | cyclone and another turn where you're |
| 5277s | not playing it right unless he thought |
| 5278s | he'd completed it because he didn't play |
| 5280s | it at the end of the turn right he stuck |
| 5282s | it in the hand there was a bit of a |
| 5285s | punch myself in the face moment there |
| 5287s | and another one yeah yeah because i was |
| 5289s | confused as |
| 5290s | wise plus one plus two on a couple of |
| 5292s | tippers better than just 12 on a divine |
| 5295s | shield cyclone yeah it does feel like a |
| 5297s | potential misplay there uh but now |
| 5299s | getting offered some moga okay well we |
| 5302s | can transition here right we can have |
| 5303s | the smogger in hand oh sorry the smogger |
| 5306s | on the board and then the bronze warden |
| 5308s | left in the hand to suck up that juicy |
| 5310s | plus 12 plus 12. |
| 5314s | yeah and the whole dragon synergy thing |
| 5315s | going on here as well |
| 5317s | um turns out into a pretty nice board |
| 5319s | i'm not used to seeing one house with |
| 5321s | seven minions either it's just always |
| 5322s | got an evil twin when i play that's |
| 5324s | always six |
| 5326s | that's your sig board for milhouse i |
| 5328s | think river pusa is going to be moving |
| 5329s | very firmly into the lead uh in the next |
| 5332s | couple turns now what are we looking at |
| 5334s | for angola five taking necrolite |
| 5337s | uh off of your discover from |
| 5340s | doesn't feel |
| 5341s | amazing obviously because uh you know |
| 5344s | it's basically just a gem player here |
| 5346s | it's a equivalent to |
| 5348s | um |
| 5348s | you know any of the other gems not a |
| 5350s | four star you right but uh being able to |
| 5353s | get quest completed smoking gun divine |
| 5355s | shield some nice stats on the board he's |
| 5357s | stabilizing now i think he's definitely |
| 5359s | starting to catch up |
| 5360s | yeah you were asking me about tara goza |
| 5362s | earlier uh we're seeing a few of them in |
| 5364s | this lobby so |
| 5366s | i'm going to get to see |
| 5368s | you know how that |
| 5369s | functions in this situation over time |
| 5372s | smoking guns interesting because |
| 5375s | it's very easy to complete most of the |
| 5377s | time but it is very short term as well |
| 5379s | plus five is lovely for |
| 5381s | about four turns and then it becomes |
| 5383s | kind of meaningless because you've got |
| 5384s | no health on your minions your minions |
| 5386s | are improving but |
| 5389s | i think to me like uh danatherius was in |
| 5391s | a bit of a perilous situation because it |
| 5393s | appeared that he was selling pretty |
| 5395s | heavily uh to get a triple and ends up |
| 5397s | with just the myrmidon which is not |
| 5399s | really what you want to see speaking of |
| 5401s | getting a big triple here uh we're |
| 5403s | looking at the potential |
| 5408s | yeah i'm looking at this vulgin though |
| 5409s | just |
| 5410s | with all these nuggets he's just gonna |
| 5412s | be able to do the old thing where you |
| 5413s | buff something switch over it over and |
| 5415s | over again and suddenly gonna have a |
| 5417s | board of 20 20s and you're right he's |
| 5419s | going for this five |
| 5420s | i think he's going for this six actually |
| 5423s | yeah |
| 5425s | yeah very cute swapping with uh |
| 5428s | sevens here oh sorry the minion in the |
| 5430s | shop brother so just give yourself the |
| 5432s | juiciest stats possible |
| 5435s | it's scary i don't know if it's enough |
| 5437s | to live against milhouse were he to face |
| 5440s | that |
| 5440s | uh it's very close |
| 5442s | uh for tessura is this a triple he's got |
| 5445s | offered here he is reno so exactly it's |
| 5448s | turned seven nominated |
| 5450s | gold and no means |
| 5452s | it's so hard to process because |
| 5455s | everybody knows how this works as a |
| 5457s | single nomi you you go for it on turn |
| 5459s | seven and you die in a horrible right |
| 5462s | but golden know me on turn seven |
| 5465s | you know you might tolerate but i don't |
| 5468s | think you can turn it down yeah i think |
| 5469s | you have to if you play battlegrounds i |
| 5471s | think |
| 5473s | you just have to do this |
| 5474s | i don't know if i'm being honest i think |
| 5476s | i was just taking golden mermaid on |
| 5478s | there and hoping to hit some buffs and |
| 5479s | just try and climb into like fourth |
| 5481s | place |
| 5483s | uh but i'm not as brave of a man |
| 5485s | uh as to sarah |
| 5487s | well he does have the um divine shield |
| 5491s | quest as well |
| 5493s | after each refresh so he can pick up |
| 5495s | some |
| 5496s | um elementals with divine shield and |
| 5498s | they're going to be big so he doesn't |
| 5499s | have to mess around getting selflesses |
| 5501s | and stuff for the late game |
| 5503s | so as long as you can complete that |
| 5505s | quest you should be okay with the gold |
| 5507s | and know me i think |
| 5509s | and uh lighting here having an absolute |
| 5512s | disaster of the game increased minions |
| 5514s | stats 18 times still not even close to |
| 5517s | completing that one |
| 5518s | it's uh you know no quest completed |
| 5521s | tripling into a |
| 5523s | corrupted murder i think that was no |
| 5525s | stats in play this is looking like a fat |
| 5527s | eight oh my lighting right now whereas |
| 5530s | the rim goes to on the other side |
| 5532s | vol'jin with the nagas now with a |
| 5535s | thister to go alongside it is this a uh |
| 5538s | a lobby winner kind of officer vulgin |
| 5541s | nonsensical stupidity on turn eight i |
| 5544s | mean |
| 5545s | it's too early to say whether it'd be a |
| 5546s | lobby winner but the scaling is going to |
| 5548s | be massive and he's going to be able to |
| 5550s | as we've seen many times here dictate |
| 5553s | the size of stuff because he's volgin |
| 5554s | we're going to see some really huge |
| 5556s | things um it's the top three for sure |
| 5559s | at this point |
| 5560s | um probably a lobby winner but there's |
| 5562s | some other nonsense going on the |
| 5564s | milhouse you know so the vino with the |
| 5566s | golden gnome he could overtake this for |
| 5567s | instance right yeah and i'm still |
| 5569s | looking at river pusa on the milhouse as |
| 5571s | a really strong contender i think he was |
| 5573s | making good use of that quest completion |
| 5574s | on the red hand uh but for rim gosu uh |
| 5578s | it did look like he'd have to |
| 5580s | try and turn things around very quickly |
| 5582s | then uh but speaking of lighting does |
| 5585s | manage to complete both quests i believe |
| 5587s | on this turn uh with cook the books and |
| 5590s | the spectre so he's gonna be chomping |
| 5592s | two minions on the corrupted myrmidon |
| 5596s | which is big of course to double that up |
| 5598s | and the dynamic duo but even then this |
| 5602s | looks like it might just be a losing |
| 5604s | board against milhouse who has all of |
| 5606s | this divine shieldage i think that's a |
| 5609s | conceit from lighting |
| 5610s | yeah absolutely no chance against this |
| 5612s | board unfortunately for lighting it's a |
| 5614s | shame because we would have got to see |
| 5615s | how those quests got going but |
| 5618s | um |
| 5619s | i'm certainly going to do the i told you |
| 5621s | so moment either that's a sample size of |
| 5622s | one atheist wasn't good but that's just |
| 5625s | sometimes going to happen right this is |
| 5626s | what stops it for being a incredible |
| 5628s | hero because this sometimes happens but |
| 5630s | we will see some donations murder people |
| 5632s | today they were uniquely bad objects |
| 5636s | right like increase the minions that 18 |
| 5638s | times for victim spectre that seems a |
| 5641s | little unfair to me i don't think that |
| 5642s | reward is worth uh that much trial and |
| 5644s | tribulation |
| 5646s | yeah and it's 18 increased with |
| 5648s | quillboards and nagas in |
| 5651s | like |
| 5652s | it was still impossible so sure |
| 5655s | oh dude where are the ellies okay divine |
| 5657s | shield elemental that's something uh but |
| 5660s | at 15 health uh tesura is looking very |
| 5663s | much set to die in the coming turns his |
| 5666s | only saving grace is that he actually |
| 5667s | got the ghost on this |
| 5669s | against lighting |
| 5670s | so he's going to be given one free turn |
| 5672s | of scaling before he starts facing the |
| 5674s | big dogs i say he's fine he's not fine |
| 5677s | if he walks into some of these um we |
| 5680s | talked about the other naga board but |
| 5682s | sleepy here |
| 5684s | this is gonna get huge really quickly |
| 5686s | again |
| 5687s | not necessarily as quickly as the vulgin |
| 5690s | who's going to have a way of directing |
| 5692s | it but |
| 5694s | it's good might catch it yeah it's a |
| 5697s | good board but it needs one more turn up |
| 5699s | against cese on murloc holmes who was |
| 5703s | rocking what the uh |
| 5707s | oh is he gonna know me as well yeah okay |
| 5709s | a kind of weird |
| 5711s | mishmash comp here with obviously the |
| 5713s | eliza plus the taragosas two eliza's now |
| 5716s | okay to try and double down uh on those |
| 5719s | attack buffs uh but it really is a bit |
| 5721s | of a hodgepodge there's no real |
| 5722s | cohesiveness to the plan here and he's |
| 5724s | just trying to squeak out as high of a |
| 5726s | finish as possible before he falls to |
| 5728s | all the scaling |
| 5729s | yeah um he's going to scale these |
| 5731s | together you know pretty nicely let's go |
| 5733s | with but |
| 5735s | divine shield goes with some high |
| 5737s | attacks going to be nice but i think |
| 5740s | in another lobby on another day this |
| 5742s | could definitely be a game winner but |
| 5744s | right now it feels like it's going to be |
| 5745s | a bit too small but let's see he's going |
| 5747s | to win this down and he's going |
| 5749s | sleepy out for another |
| 5751s | bad finish sleepy's day could be over |
| 5753s | without a win in the next lobby dude the |
| 5756s | seventh and eighth players last lobby |
| 5758s | are seventh and eighth again this out |
| 5760s | with zigza joining them alongside this |
| 5763s | time a third and then a joint sixth uh |
| 5766s | in this instance 4-zik so |
| 5769s | a really rough second game for him there |
| 5770s | just unable to to stabilize quite so |
| 5773s | much |
| 5774s | as now it's uh a scrap for basically |
| 5776s | everyone who isn't rim gosu and probably |
| 5779s | ribapusa uh to try and just squeeze out |
| 5784s | as high of a finish as possible |
| 5786s | turn nine three deaths by the way that's |
| 5789s | pretty rare |
| 5790s | that's a sign that people are having |
| 5792s | absolutely crazy stuff go on |
| 5795s | all uniquely terrible stuff going on |
| 5797s | like lighting yeah that was uniquely |
| 5799s | terrible i'll give you that um |
| 5802s | okay are we scaling here are we scaling |
| 5805s | uh you've got one more ellie with |
| 5809s | the dazzling light spawn so you can get |
| 5810s | another refresh on the re-roll hoping to |
| 5813s | hit another one |
| 5814s | wildfire with divine shield mamma mia |
| 5818s | yeah triple wow |
| 5820s | things are getting large and shieldy |
| 5823s | if if he could survive like one or two |
| 5825s | more fights i know that's the mantra of |
| 5827s | the battlegrounds player but this is |
| 5829s | going to outscale everybody at some |
| 5830s | point but might not turn the corner i |
| 5833s | don't think he lost i think he was |
| 5835s | against lighting last turn right which |
| 5837s | is why he had a free turn of uh |
| 5839s | of scaling so it's a tall and blue shell |
| 5842s | still a pic you could consider but not |
| 5844s | uh active |
| 5845s | i love blue shell as a card by the way |
| 5847s | it's it is |
| 5848s | so good it's so everything |
| 5852s | just play on the board why not |
| 5854s | yeah i mean |
| 5855s | if you're losing you're probably dying |
| 5857s | at this point anyway to be honest |
| 5858s | especially against such a beast uh as |
| 5861s | milhouse but let's see how that scaling |
| 5863s | uh has been working for milhouse has |
| 5865s | that red hand been doing its work |
| 5867s | the tunnel blaster interesting kind of |
| 5869s | equivalent for both players here |
| 5872s | yeah |
| 5874s | milhouse must have been a little bit |
| 5875s | scared maybe faced early and knew that |
| 5877s | the quest was going off so decided to go |
| 5879s | with that |
| 5880s | not quite sure how many divine devices |
| 5881s | he's going to walk into |
| 5883s | okay |
| 5884s | very good last hit |
| 5888s | uh but even then boy |
| 5890s | getting there the tara goes okay that's |
| 5892s | big i don't think dying either way but |
| 5894s | uh still nice to save a little bit of |
| 5896s | extra health but potentially uh probably |
| 5899s | not surviving any more combat probably |
| 5901s | irrelevant uh in this instance but |
| 5903s | surviving the turn is the important |
| 5904s | thing because now he gets the divine |
| 5906s | shield wildfire elemental plus a smoker |
| 5908s | plenty more scaling here as well |
| 5911s | is active as well there's some stuff |
| 5914s | happening now yeah |
| 5916s | it's scaling really quickly now but |
| 5918s | again sort of just about surviving |
| 5923s | and god got survived on one and it's got |
| 5925s | the ghost subtle's reporting so wow okay |
| 5928s | cookie could just limp up two more |
| 5930s | places here quite easily because this is |
| 5932s | a murdery lobby |
| 5934s | you just |
| 5935s | you always want the ghost but you really |
| 5937s | want the ghost in this lobby because |
| 5938s | it's just so many people dying so |
| 5940s | quickly |
| 5941s | i think just relying on mermaid on here |
| 5943s | pretty much for cookie |
| 5945s | and for angular 5 as you said |
| 5947s | right now |
| 5951s | i don't want an eight-eight go away |
| 5956s | uh i'm so trolled it puts the divine |
| 5959s | shield up last you see all these lovely |
| 5960s | 30 30s like please give me my shield |
| 5963s | yeah yeah unlucky |
| 5966s | oh there we go |
| 5968s | there's the boy |
| 5970s | this is some six energy he's getting now |
| 5973s | yeah now he's gonna decide which triple |
| 5975s | he's not going to go for |
| 5978s | it also has the option to just bail |
| 5981s | um sell the nomi off and give up on the |
| 5984s | lobby at the end of this turn |
| 5987s | you never want to do that but yeah |
| 5990s | it's the thing i was just talking about |
| 5992s | right survive one more fight if you can |
| 5994s | because that might get you two places |
| 5997s | very possibly yeah |
| 5999s | now let's see this is a huge battle and |
| 6002s | one deck |
| 6004s | looks like it's in favor of that 160 868 |
| 6007s | i think that the divine shield's gone as |
| 6009s | well uh i think that finally |
| 6012s | uh rim oh sorry uh tessura has gone up |
| 6015s | against the boss of this lobby uh in the |
| 6018s | room gosu |
| 6020s | on the uh the nagas and the vol'jin just |
| 6023s | an unbeatable combo you laid it out a |
| 6025s | while ago this was the lobby winner |
| 6027s | right from the start and now it's on |
| 6028s | river pusa to try and find some way to |
| 6031s | fight back against that |
| 6033s | and gold limps up to where is |
| 6041s | oh my okay let's have a look at exactly |
| 6044s | how this progresses because this is a |
| 6045s | lot of numbers |
| 6047s | it's a fair fight because it's no divine |
| 6049s | shields allowed of course the tunneler |
| 6052s | oh but actually the numbers |
| 6055s | i mean they're big |
| 6058s | that's all they are for now |
| 6060s | they are pretty big this is a corrupted |
| 6062s | murmured on as well i remember |
| 6070s | sleepy finishing in sixth it was |
| 6072s | something we didn't highlight by the way |
| 6075s | i think we did when xo and sleepy went |
| 6077s | out there the same oh yeah we did you're |
| 6079s | right |
| 6081s | but let's highlight it again it's a big |
| 6082s | deal that's an eighth and then a joint |
| 6084s | stick for sleepy which means basically |
| 6085s | it's gonna have to be first or best |
| 6088s | uh |
| 6088s | next round for him to have any chance at |
| 6090s | all even then it might just be out of |
| 6092s | the uh |
| 6094s | it's still just building this collection |
| 6097s | of he's just diving i love it |
| 6100s | enjoying himself obviously quite easy to |
| 6102s | enjoy yourself when you do win the first |
| 6104s | lobby of the day as |
| 6106s | in terms of upgrades is there anything |
| 6108s | beside mounted queens and |
| 6111s | leroys that we're looking here to juice |
| 6113s | this one up |
| 6115s | honestly this is out of my league with |
| 6117s | these towers i think it's just the usual |
| 6119s | i think you've progressed as far as |
| 6121s | you're going to go |
| 6123s | here with the comp you're trying to |
| 6124s | build |
| 6126s | you could try for like a kind of halfway |
| 6128s | scallywag scam combo |
| 6131s | uh |
| 6132s | i think he's finally in case |
| 6134s | yeah i mean it's just it's just a lot |
| 6136s | more buffs with a golden |
| 6138s | uh eliza on the board as well which |
| 6140s | you're very happy to see |
| 6142s | but all these divine shields bite in the |
| 6144s | dust yeah that's not what you want to |
| 6147s | right all |
| 6147s | no see |
| 6149s | um yeah i think you just put the |
| 6150s | scallion there like you said it's a |
| 6151s | little bit of extra buff but mainly it's |
| 6154s | a hail mary if i survive this fight |
| 6156s | somehow by not actually dying to all |
| 6158s | this nonsense and then high roll the |
| 6160s | heck out of the next shots maybe |
| 6162s | something happens but yeah |
| 6164s | another victim get your face played off |
| 6167s | falling to the uh to the raid boss or |
| 6168s | getting their face blown off as you said |
| 6170s | uh as it's another loss here two rounds |
| 6173s | in a row for |
| 6175s | the mill house for riba foosa clearly |
| 6177s | just relying on a lot of early tempo |
| 6179s | rather than necessarily late game |
| 6181s | scaling uh but he's got himself the |
| 6183s | ghost now uh in cesar which is not |
| 6185s | necessarily a rollover uh of an opponent |
| 6187s | to be going up against one i think puts |
| 6189s | him in a pretty good spot as he is still |
| 6190s | getting some amount of scaling with the |
| 6193s | peggy as well |
| 6195s | uh but it's really just scrambling here |
| 6198s | uh for anyone to try and find a way to |
| 6199s | beat all these nuggets with a tunnel |
| 6201s | blaster in as well which kind of rules |
| 6203s | out leroy as a realistic uh |
| 6207s | oh i won't say rules out but makes leroy |
| 6209s | harder for her to make work against all |
| 6211s | those massive minions |
| 6213s | this is a whole bunch of nothing |
| 6216s | it's just stuff just burn this board |
| 6218s | into your uh brains everybody watching |
| 6221s | because you're going to see a lot of |
| 6222s | this sort of just i've got stuff i'm |
| 6224s | coming second or third |
| 6226s | it's just going to be the weekend i |
| 6228s | think |
| 6229s | all right can and god 5 find an answer |
| 6232s | we uh we know what room ghost is doing |
| 6234s | right it's just bigger nagas it's gonna |
| 6237s | get bigger every turn |
| 6239s | we have uh |
| 6240s | a leroy and demanded is that getting |
| 6243s | close |
| 6244s | uh |
| 6245s | no |
| 6246s | no yeah agreed especially with you know |
| 6248s | if you had uther to buff this leroy up |
| 6250s | to a 1515 |
| 6252s | maybe |
| 6253s | still i think probably no but at least |
| 6254s | then it's surviving the tunnel blaster |
| 6256s | and you can look to try and take out one |
| 6258s | of the you know if leroy into mermaid on |
| 6260s | and then divine shield double hit with |
| 6264s | mantis |
| 6266s | but right if the mantid dies and then it |
| 6268s | comes back to life sometimes with divine |
| 6270s | shield and poison and that happens two |
| 6271s | or three times have you seen that happen |
| 6274s | no i haven't but if it happens he'll win |
| 6276s | the fight okay let's uh let's play to |
| 6279s | that out |
| 6281s | okay now for me i think he's there is |
| 6282s | this something i haven't seen here yeah |
| 6284s | oh straight up i was like is that a |
| 6286s | quest reward |
| 6287s | yeah and it probably will be now the |
| 6289s | joke will be on me but there you go |
| 6293s | yeah this is not even close an absolute |
| 6296s | slaughter as an god five i think |
| 6298s | actually did a really good job of |
| 6299s | surviving through to this long uh making |
| 6302s | great use of smoking gun to see himself |
| 6303s | through the mid game and then just |
| 6305s | getting a bunch of divine shields to try |
| 6307s | and cheese out a third place which he |
| 6309s | did fantastically well as aruba |
| 6311s | dies |
| 6312s | to the ghost to say say so cece winning |
| 6316s | the last lobby and then managing to uh |
| 6318s | take out second place and see rim gosu |
| 6321s | through to a win that we all obviously |
| 6323s | saw him coming through with a mile away |
| 6325s | like you said it's the last three lobby |
| 6326s | legends repeated here as uh just massive |
| 6329s | nagas are able to get the job done yeah |
| 6332s | and god getting that equal second |
| 6333s | survived on one health got the ghost and |
| 6335s | just |
| 6336s | just didn't have to do anything to get |
| 6338s | that second place tie a bit of a note on |
| 6341s | him thanks to bennet as always for |
| 6343s | supply wizard info |
| 6345s | we had kid five last time around um who |
| 6348s | was sort of referencing kid with the |
| 6349s | five being the equivalent of f in chat |
| 6352s | as far as i understand it |
| 6354s | um this time and got five is a reference |
| 6356s | to a big streamer in china so and god |
| 6359s | presumably being the stream of five |
| 6361s | being the the f once again and |
| 6364s | apparently we can also call him slowpoke |
| 6365s | which we might do at some point so |
| 6368s | just continuous memes from from and god |
| 6371s | apparently is that like is an alternate |
| 6373s | gamer tag or are we just |
| 6375s | ragging on him for being slow because we |
| 6378s | can call a lot of players slowpoke it's |
| 6380s | another meme of the same streamer |
| 6382s | apparently all right |
| 6384s | so there's this person angled five |
| 6386s | doesn't actually have their own um |
| 6388s | like character they're just somebody |
| 6390s | else and |
| 6392s | keeming on them |
| 6393s | yeah good stuff comedy gold uh from |
| 6395s | angod five there uh as we take a look at |
| 6398s | some of the top moments from this lobby |
| 6401s | ssa obviously unable to fight back |
| 6403s | anyone who went up against the raid boss |
| 6405s | of room ghost who was just instantly |
| 6407s | falling by the wayside again no murlocs |
| 6409s | no poison scam nothing that can be done |
| 6412s | to fight back against all that multitude |
| 6415s | of stats uh rungosu does i believe end |
| 6418s | up somewhere near the middle of the |
| 6420s | table now with uh two points last turn |
| 6423s | uh last round sorry seven points now |
| 6425s | he's towards the top for sure uh but not |
| 6428s | a uh a runaway favorite right now by any |
| 6431s | stretch of the imagination |
| 6433s | no although i think we're going to see |
| 6434s | quite a polarized table until we've only |
| 6436s | had two lobbies uh the people who did |
| 6439s | badly mostly did badly again the people |
| 6441s | who did well mostly did well again so |
| 6443s | bridging that gap by |
| 6445s | winning the lobby i think we'll put him |
| 6447s | in an okay position |
| 6449s | i'd like to see this actually it's going |
| 6450s | to be quite extreme with |
| 6452s | lighting and sleepy having a bit of a |
| 6454s | nightmare down the bottom there yeah oh |
| 6457s | wow i mean there's just a hard cut off |
| 6459s | point after six so right everything |
| 6460s | upwards is kind of close uh but for |
| 6464s | lighting even with a seventh place |
| 6467s | he's just out right there's no way for |
| 6470s | him to uh so if lighting wins and gets |
| 6472s | seven |
| 6473s | that goes to eight yeah just done so no |
| 6477s | chance sleepy can you ever make it work |
| 6479s | if he gets 8.5 ties everyone higher does |
| 6482s | well everyone lower does worse it has to |
| 6485s | be very specific but it's super |
| 6487s | persistent and god comes exactly eight |
| 6490s | to seven years exactly seventh zigza |
| 6492s | comes exactly six |
| 6494s | right asleep who then have the tie |
| 6496s | breakers by having won a lobby okay yes |
| 6499s | sleepy is a lie because he would have a |
| 6501s | tiebreaker worth having right and god |
| 6503s | doesn't come last when he's out yeah but |
| 6505s | he's dead essentially sleepy is out of |
| 6508s | the running right yeah so |
| 6509s | it's like astronomically unlikely that |
| 6511s | he'll be able to get the job done and |
| 6513s | he's going to try as hard as he can uh |
| 6515s | to just uh |
| 6516s | you know |
| 6517s | get a non-terrible performance in a |
| 6520s | lobby legends as you know that's kind of |
| 6522s | what i was predicting right i didn't say |
| 6523s | that sleepy would get a eighth or |
| 6525s | seventh place through playing poorly |
| 6528s | mainly just because he has to start |
| 6529s | taking risks as was i think the same |
| 6531s | with lighting lighting a little bit |
| 6532s | different because that game was just an |
| 6534s | absolute disaster from start to finish |
| 6536s | that dinatory is offering him nothing to |
| 6538s | stabilize nothing to start scaling back |
| 6541s | up and the quest being absolutely |
| 6542s | terrible but it happens it's a fickle |
| 6545s | hero indeed one more lobby to come in |
| 6549s | group a before we head over to group b |
| 6552s | and uh it's all to play for now as six |
| 6554s | of our eight competitors are still |
| 6556s | scrapping for those four spots to head |
| 6559s | through to sunday for our mega lobby |
| 6561s | when we come back the final lobby of |
| 6563s | group a will begin |
| 6630s | so |
| 6656s | so |
| 6672s | so |
| 6713s | so |
| 6764s | welcome back everyone once again to |
| 6765s | hearthstone battlegrounds lobby legends |
| 6767s | magic of azeroth where we are heading |
| 6770s | very shortly into our third game of the |
| 6773s | day where the pressure is mounting up |
| 6776s | very much for all of our competitors |
| 6777s | because after this game in group a we're |
| 6780s | gonna split it in half the top four |
| 6782s | players going through two tomorrow the |
| 6784s | bottom half out of the running and as we |
| 6787s | worked it through |
| 6788s | technically seven but realistically six |
| 6791s | of our players are still in the runnings |
| 6793s | here and uh who you liking the odds of |
| 6795s | so far any standout good players for you |
| 6798s | from the first two games lorinda um |
| 6801s | weirdly i mean cersei say looks really |
| 6803s | comfortable not just playing well but |
| 6804s | also on camera looking like he's just |
| 6807s | enjoying himself that's the benefit of |
| 6808s | having been here before |
| 6810s | and honestly i think |
| 6811s | even though he's currently not in the |
| 6813s | position you know what i'm gonna say i |
| 6814s | think zixo is looking all right here as |
| 6816s | well |
| 6817s | um a player with so much experience just |
| 6819s | willing to take what he's offered which |
| 6821s | i think is huge in this matter um |
| 6823s | obviously you need to be offered good |
| 6824s | stuff if that's the case |
| 6826s | but yeah |
| 6827s | bp is going to take murloc homes there |
| 6830s | heard people talk that deathwing might |
| 6831s | be good but i think mark holmes is just |
| 6833s | a really good hero right now i think the |
| 6835s | armor makes it over the edge good oh |
| 6838s | dude lighting onto nathrius again after |
| 6841s | an absolute disaster of a game uh in the |
| 6845s | previous lobby that we played he's |
| 6847s | doubling down and saying that my boy he |
| 6849s | may have been murdered but he's gonna |
| 6851s | bring me back to life and we'll see |
| 6853s | which quests are offered to him |
| 6855s | hopefully the conditions will be a |
| 6857s | little bit easier to complete this time |
| 6859s | and he'll actually get them done before |
| 6860s | he's on one health we've seen this a |
| 6863s | couple of times in a prior lobby legends |
| 6865s | where people have been like beaten on a |
| 6866s | hero they've like picked it again the |
| 6868s | next game to just say look i know what |
| 6869s | i'm doing i always ride all along |
| 6872s | oh okay these are much much more like it |
| 6874s | four battlecry minions that's very |
| 6876s | doable a lot of battle cries on tier one |
| 6879s | uh and cooked book honestly i'd consider |
| 6881s | that as well twelve cards to your hand |
| 6883s | is like uh |
| 6884s | what turn five or six kind of condition |
| 6887s | theoretically yeah what's your plan here |
| 6889s | so you're in last you cannot qualify is |
| 6891s | your plan to win a lobby yeah okay |
| 6894s | so you can take either of those |
| 6895s | depending what your plan is i think |
| 6896s | they're sort of equal in strength for |
| 6898s | mmr |
| 6899s | um the cookbook is more risky but you |
| 6901s | get more first more eights and the |
| 6903s | henchmen was always very solid probably |
| 6904s | gonna get you a third quite often there |
| 6907s | um just because it's just such an early |
| 6908s | game and i think lighting just wants to |
| 6910s | prove to us hey look i can win a lobby |
| 6912s | let's go |
| 6914s | so zigza here making a very interesting |
| 6915s | decision in his own right because he is |
| 6917s | in sixth place currently bottom of the |
| 6920s | players that can qualify and he goes for |
| 6922s | daryl |
| 6923s | which is a very interesting way to go |
| 6924s | about it because this is the |
| 6927s | quintessential |
| 6930s | good but not first hero right you're |
| 6932s | looking for third maybe second uh if |
| 6935s | you're getting a very good game but it's |
| 6936s | not generally scaling into a win it's |
| 6939s | just getting a very high power spike in |
| 6941s | the early to mid game uh so are you |
| 6944s | surprised at all by this pick is this |
| 6946s | gonna be enough to squeeze him into the |
| 6948s | top four so let's say devil always comes |
| 6950s | third that's sort of how we found it in |
| 6952s | playtesting that's something that sottle |
| 6953s | would love us to say so yeah devil |
| 6954s | always comes third that's the only |
| 6956s | position daryl can ever finish in |
| 6958s | uh that would give zikzo five points put |
| 6960s | him on eleven and a half |
| 6963s | he's saying that eleven and a half's |
| 6965s | enough often enough uh that it's worth |
| 6967s | taking the devil rather than having to |
| 6969s | take a risk this is what i was saying |
| 6970s | about him being experienced enough to |
| 6971s | take what he's offered |
| 6973s | yeah which is kind of |
| 6975s | one of the highest mmr gain heroes in |
| 6978s | the game |
| 6979s | and he's assessed that his tournament |
| 6980s | position is |
| 6982s | just about borderline good enough that |
| 6984s | he can afford it if he gets third he'll |
| 6986s | probably get through i quite like the |
| 6988s | choice |
| 6989s | and so he is relying very heavily on one |
| 6992s | of the players above him finishing |
| 6993s | poorly because i think if they all do |
| 6995s | well the 11.5 is not going to be good |
| 6996s | enough so it's a bit of a gamble here uh |
| 6999s | but i like where his head is at a pretty |
| 7002s | unconventional curve though on uh daryl |
| 7004s | i think it's fair to say with level on |
| 7006s | two and then sell double bye this is you |
| 7009s | know it's not the usual horde a bunch of |
| 7011s | cards and giga buffer pop bot uh that |
| 7014s | we're expecting to see |
| 7015s | yeah things got a bit weird with dale |
| 7017s | since imps went up to tier two as well |
| 7020s | um |
| 7022s | devil's odd now but like you say yeah |
| 7024s | staying on one bottoming it up is |
| 7025s | usually the thing |
| 7027s | um yeah as softly as reminding us uh xo |
| 7029s | is very much a don't waste gold on on |
| 7033s | two like ever |
| 7034s | okay okay |
| 7036s | um |
| 7037s | it is one of his things that he loves to |
| 7039s | achieve curve now thanks why am i |
| 7041s | wasting gold etc etc repeat for |
| 7044s | everything |
| 7045s | all right big turn hit it's of course |
| 7047s | quest turn for all of our players but |
| 7050s | then for tessura it's the uh the tog |
| 7053s | waggle turn where you're hoping to chomp |
| 7055s | up that board or steal that board rather |
| 7057s | and get yourself a whole bunch of stats |
| 7059s | but for right now |
| 7064s | yeah evil twins that caught my eye first |
| 7066s | and i realized we're togg-waggle and |
| 7067s | henchman's just gonna get half the quest |
| 7069s | done in one button press |
| 7073s | i think you still go twin it's 15's a |
| 7076s | lot |
| 7078s | it's tough |
| 7080s | it is a lot i mean you do four of them |
| 7081s | right now but these minions what i can |
| 7083s | tell are not especially juicy looking |
| 7085s | ones zigzag got the bribe by the way |
| 7088s | okay we'll take a look at that soon but |
| 7089s | anima bribe for zixo on daryl is |
| 7092s | the most spicy uh of combos to be able |
| 7095s | to double down on the daryl effect and |
| 7097s | the anima bribe to get yourself omega |
| 7099s | big millions |
| 7100s | uh but right now still waiting on tesla |
| 7102s | what tesseract i go for like it's |
| 7105s | gotta be between the left and right i i |
| 7107s | don't think the victim's specter unless |
| 7109s | there's two death rattle minions in the |
| 7110s | middle is getting there he's also on |
| 7112s | this um |
| 7115s | seven points so henchman is the mmr |
| 7118s | player he's got the same decision zika |
| 7120s | had when taking devil do i want to go |
| 7121s | for the slightly more extreme play which |
| 7123s | is what he's done |
| 7124s | or do i want to take the play where i'm |
| 7125s | just going to come forth or third and |
| 7128s | testo has decided he wants to get the |
| 7130s | extreme finish one way or the other |
| 7132s | and goes for the the twin which is |
| 7134s | definitely a better quest if he can |
| 7137s | complete it |
| 7138s | and he's again he's he's gone with the |
| 7140s | assessment that he needs to get a decent |
| 7142s | finish here with only having seven |
| 7144s | points so far |
| 7148s | not an especially impressive board which |
| 7150s | means that tessera could be that player |
| 7152s | that zigza is hoping uh finishes poorly |
| 7156s | because right now you know for a post uh |
| 7160s | pog waggle pop-up turn you're hoping for |
| 7162s | a lot more stats than this it looks like |
| 7163s | it may just be a loss uh first |
| 7166s | sleepy on the merlot homes uh but as you |
| 7170s | said six getting anime bribe does mean |
| 7172s | that he uh |
| 7175s | uh i think needs to play what eight |
| 7178s | mechs or pirates in order to actually |
| 7180s | complete this which is slowly chugging |
| 7183s | through that's a very nice one to get on |
| 7185s | the uh gambler and then |
| 7188s | i don't know you could go for the leaper |
| 7191s | if you wanted to just get yourself a |
| 7192s | guaranteed mech |
| 7194s | but for right now |
| 7195s | it's going to be this weird kind of game |
| 7197s | where xo contrary to what you'd usually |
| 7199s | expect on daryl tanks a lot of damage in |
| 7201s | the early game rather than dealing a |
| 7203s | whole bunch of damage in the early years |
| 7204s | right but then it's like a mega power |
| 7207s | spike once this uh hero power plus the |
| 7209s | anima bribe comes online at the same |
| 7211s | time |
| 7213s | yeah it's going to be absolutely nutty |
| 7215s | so hopefully we get to stay with this um |
| 7218s | for a while on and off at least deep in |
| 7220s | and out of some zigzag action but yeah |
| 7223s | the second he can complete this it's |
| 7224s | going to be interesting to see how he |
| 7226s | balances |
| 7228s | the normal dell stuff you know not dying |
| 7230s | all that good stuff with just completing |
| 7232s | the bribe um |
| 7234s | basically do it how you want but zixo |
| 7236s | will probably have a pretty efficient |
| 7238s | way of doing it because that's exactly |
| 7240s | his wheelhouse of |
| 7242s | how his brain works |
| 7244s | okay respectable uh three cost minions |
| 7248s | here for riverbooster on afk |
| 7252s | uh the divine shield he's obviously |
| 7254s | trying to position as much as possible |
| 7256s | to hit the taragosa |
| 7260s | can we just say how great this afk um |
| 7262s | portrait is as well thanks |
| 7265s | i mean you're a big afk fan right i am |
| 7267s | absolutely |
| 7269s | but this this particular portraits |
| 7271s | they're all clear |
| 7276s | not the best hits at all for |
| 7279s | river pusa means taking a narrow loss |
| 7282s | there |
| 7284s | and uh |
| 7285s | sleepy you know importantly still uh |
| 7288s | hanging on in there if he was ever gonna |
| 7290s | have a chance it of course comes through |
| 7292s | finishing first |
| 7293s | on the murloc homes which is uh with him |
| 7296s | currently at plenty of health still very |
| 7298s | much a possibility but how are we |
| 7299s | looking here one pirate available uh for |
| 7302s | six so stick cards that we see these are |
| 7305s | quite decidedly not it though yeah i |
| 7308s | mean i can't see his board but it's not |
| 7310s | very big because |
| 7311s | we don't see any sort of minions at all |
| 7313s | so i think tavern tempest into not die |
| 7315s | and live to fight another turn |
| 7317s | is usually the play here yeah |
| 7319s | just play two minions on the board |
| 7321s | because whatever he's done to get this |
| 7322s | early five um has destroyed his board |
| 7326s | quest to spend 30 gold to get um |
| 7331s | or |
| 7332s | uh sorry after each combat you get a |
| 7334s | plane copy the most recent or the last |
| 7336s | minion that died sorry which is victim |
| 7338s | specter sorry there we go forgot the |
| 7339s | name of the quest |
| 7340s | uh which is potentially pretty good uh |
| 7343s | if you can get something that synergizes |
| 7344s | alongside it you know again you get to |
| 7346s | know me and you start getting a lot of |
| 7347s | elementals uh to start synergizing with |
| 7349s | it uh but nothing doing so oh as he's |
| 7352s | going to be continuing to tank quite a |
| 7354s | lot of damage towards the bottom of the |
| 7357s | uh the health total right now |
| 7359s | especially with sesay again on the |
| 7362s | kurdras and this time getting the uh the |
| 7365s | stolen gold he is going to be a huge |
| 7367s | damage dealer in these next few turns |
| 7369s | yeah straight into the spike turn there |
| 7371s | for and god 5 when he least needed that |
| 7374s | to happen when he was on his so his |
| 7376s | weakest point so |
| 7378s | massive damage as we go back to see how |
| 7379s | zigzag is getting on ah |
| 7382s | no uh oh no there's a mech sorry no |
| 7384s | pirates but uh a mech offered at three |
| 7387s | out of eight right now |
| 7389s | oh okay |
| 7391s | okay we'll take the gambler one hundred |
| 7394s | percent |
| 7395s | a lot of gold available here 26 so |
| 7397s | that's the second gambler now uh with |
| 7399s | one already in play |
| 7401s | and obviously he's at the sweet spot of |
| 7403s | deal nine gold shop of four things means |
| 7406s | the base level math is you buy the three |
| 7408s | things for nine gold sell them all and |
| 7410s | then the other three gold you get from |
| 7411s | selling them lets you buy the fourth |
| 7413s | thing in the shop |
| 7414s | um obviously there's a lot of variations |
| 7416s | on how you do that but that's why you |
| 7417s | stay on |
| 7419s | that tavern tier to get that size shop |
| 7421s | for a long time |
| 7423s | nice spike here for rimgosu uh |
| 7426s | but uh wow okay i was going to talk |
| 7428s | about alter ego but we'll get back to |
| 7429s | that in a moment as xo is kind of going |
| 7431s | in here taking a mini dance turn |
| 7435s | uh even though there's clearly not a |
| 7437s | fantastic minion to go in on no divine |
| 7439s | shields no real synergy with a lot of |
| 7440s | buffage here uh but i guess just saying |
| 7442s | he needs to make board space he needs to |
| 7444s | keep cycling through here and uh |
| 7447s | it's okay gives him a decent board and |
| 7449s | to be fair i was saying that 60's |
| 7450s | probably gonna tank a lot of damage in |
| 7452s | these starting turns it really hasn't |
| 7454s | he's still right up at the top of the |
| 7455s | leaderboard in terms of health it's |
| 7458s | going up against cesar right now with |
| 7459s | the the stolen gold but aside from that |
| 7463s | it's looking to be a pretty good game |
| 7464s | for zixo just needs to get the quest |
| 7466s | completed in like the next two turns i'm |
| 7468s | gonna say and he should be fine yeah he |
| 7470s | knows that when the quest is complete |
| 7471s | he's gonna be fine so what he's doing is |
| 7473s | every turn basically is he's just buying |
| 7476s | the shop sort of like i described buying |
| 7478s | the shop selling the shop buying the |
| 7479s | last thing in there |
| 7480s | and repeating that process so you see |
| 7482s | he's got a whole bunch of |
| 7484s | nine nines eight eights on average i can |
| 7486s | see that not one card is that number but |
| 7488s | you know what i mean just just middling |
| 7490s | stuff he's gonna take a bit of a beating |
| 7491s | here most likely but he's just taking |
| 7494s | very little damage |
| 7495s | working his way towards that quest we |
| 7497s | should be completed as you've just |
| 7498s | described one or two more turns |
| 7500s | and then he will become incredibly |
| 7503s | strong incredibly quickly so |
| 7505s | he's not panicking again showing his |
| 7507s | experience in the game |
| 7509s | not a terrible loss physique so an |
| 7511s | unfortunate 50 50 at the end obviously |
| 7513s | to tank an extra three damage which |
| 7514s | you're not happy to see but still fine |
| 7516s | he's still got one more turn where he |
| 7518s | can happily take a loss and still end up |
| 7520s | in a decent position |
| 7522s | as uh right down at the bottom and got |
| 7525s | five they're looking to be the first |
| 7527s | player uh in the danger zone of below 15 |
| 7530s | health and a player who is very much in |
| 7533s | the danger zone overall because he was |
| 7536s | in fourth place i believe 8.5 points uh |
| 7540s | before uh this game and so if he takes a |
| 7542s | loss here and ends up with zero points i |
| 7545s | think it's very unlikely that he finds |
| 7547s | himself in that top four and with that |
| 7549s | in mind it's different than what i said |
| 7551s | earlier i don't think |
| 7553s | i think i think it's too late and i |
| 7555s | think you're |
| 7556s | you don't want that eighth more than you |
| 7558s | do want the first you just want to |
| 7560s | finish third or fourth here |
| 7562s | and get out of town into the next round |
| 7564s | with that in mind he's just picked what |
| 7566s | felt like the safest pick |
| 7567s | um hopefully |
| 7569s | oh we didn't get to see him here we go |
| 7571s | messed up the magnetic but i'm sure he |
| 7572s | didn't |
| 7573s | i'm sure he didn't |
| 7576s | and it's time |
| 7579s | so now every time he sells a big minion |
| 7581s | he just makes the shot bigger as well as |
| 7583s | being devil which makes it bigger and |
| 7586s | things are going to scale ridiculously |
| 7588s | fast this is kind of the modern day apm |
| 7591s | deck |
| 7592s | how does this go you go s |
| 7594s | by roll i mean the problem is you don't |
| 7596s | really want to buy and then roll and |
| 7599s | end up dumping all your stats on like a |
| 7601s | bunch of separate minions |
| 7603s | i guess you could buy and then roll uh |
| 7607s | and then just freeze the board but in |
| 7609s | the end he's saying okay i might not be |
| 7610s | hitting a divine shield here but it's a |
| 7612s | lot of stats that he's gaining |
| 7613s | immediately yeah i might |
| 7616s | short term take issue what you said |
| 7618s | there like for the short term maybe you |
| 7620s | do want to dump stats on a load of |
| 7621s | different minions okay your army of 20 |
| 7623s | 20 things on the board |
| 7625s | and then start going okay now i want my |
| 7628s | big divine shield because that will come |
| 7629s | in time now my stupid mix but for now |
| 7631s | let's just have 20 20s and split it up |
| 7634s | and then when i choose to sell them |
| 7635s | they'll go on that divine shield anyway |
| 7636s | so you're not losing the stats they're |
| 7638s | not wasting stats as angle 5 just could |
| 7641s | not stabilize here |
| 7642s | and |
| 7643s | this is the other side of the mathias |
| 7645s | right you called it at the start of the |
| 7646s | day donatious being a bit nutty when he |
| 7649s | gets going early yeah exactly just |
| 7651s | managed to hit that break point where he |
| 7653s | was able to stabilize did lighting |
| 7654s | whereas and got five obviously unable to |
| 7657s | do so finishing the three lobbies on |
| 7659s | eight and a half points as i said just |
| 7661s | monumentally unlikely uh to be able to |
| 7664s | make it through at this point it would |
| 7665s | have to be one of the biggest |
| 7666s | turnarounds uh possible with tessura |
| 7670s | sixxo and sleepy all biting at his heels |
| 7673s | yeah and it's actually one of the |
| 7674s | conditions that sleepy needed to have |
| 7677s | any charge that's true first condition |
| 7679s | is true and god five has to come |
| 7680s | precisely eight |
| 7682s | um there's plenty more conditions he |
| 7684s | needs to fulfill and six is gonna break |
| 7685s | that dream i think but yeah |
| 7688s | um |
| 7689s | it's basically a fight between zigzo and |
| 7693s | um tessura here with zixo having to make |
| 7695s | up half a point for fourth place there's |
| 7697s | a lot exactly but we'll go with that |
| 7699s | narrative for now if it changes we'll |
| 7700s | let you know i mean this is actually |
| 7702s | pretty funny because he |
| 7704s | sleepy did need specifically and god 5 8 |
| 7707s | tessa 7th |
| 7710s | which is the two things that are |
| 7711s | happening he needed to win which is |
| 7712s | possible still right now the thing that |
| 7714s | is not possible is zixo needs to finish |
| 7717s | specifically sixth uh for him to make it |
| 7719s | through which as we can see |
| 7721s | that is not happening it depends how |
| 7723s | murdery says he say is right if cesar is |
| 7725s | actually |
| 7726s | ridiculously murdery which was was |
| 7729s | building up last time we saw them |
| 7730s | thank you sottle uh oh he's not |
| 7732s | particularly murdery at all we're fine |
| 7734s | yeah everyone |
| 7736s | yeah just |
| 7738s | moderately threatening in a non-mortal |
| 7740s | manner |
| 7741s | yeah |
| 7742s | so |
| 7751s | so obviously against the ghost |
| 7754s | first time we're seeing murloc synergy |
| 7756s | and there's not much of it going on as |
| 7758s | he's unable to make it work with both |
| 7760s | the |
| 7762s | uh evil twin of course to get himself |
| 7764s | another divine shield uh and also just |
| 7766s | trying to stabilize with all these |
| 7768s | minions banking on the back to be able |
| 7769s | to beat the ghost which is a pretty safe |
| 7771s | assumption this looks like a clean |
| 7773s | enough wind to me |
| 7776s | feel that if you can get divine shield |
| 7777s | on this |
| 7780s | or if you can get annoying this could be |
| 7782s | all right it feels like a really slow |
| 7784s | setup honestly but |
| 7787s | he's got some nice scaling somewhere |
| 7789s | with a double radiant as well |
| 7792s | huge amount of gold in hand |
| 7794s | yeah that works out |
| 7796s | yeah yeah |
| 7797s | just needs to try and avoid it here we |
| 7799s | go a last place here or a seven sorry |
| 7802s | yep module absolutely huge to go |
| 7804s | alongside the |
| 7806s | uh amalgam |
| 7810s | i think this is going to get interesting |
| 7811s | here |
| 7817s | he needs to make sure this amalgam stays |
| 7819s | as his biggest um |
| 7821s | health minion |
| 7822s | which is now not |
| 7824s | which is now not |
| 7825s | otherwise he's not going to get the evil |
| 7827s | twin on it and now guard's going to ruin |
| 7829s | that anyway always going to be the |
| 7830s | biggest minion from this point on oh big |
| 7832s | car it's not bad though right uh to copy |
| 7835s | another one of those that's a ridiculous |
| 7837s | amount of health you can work with |
| 7841s | but for right now obviously he does want |
| 7842s | to maximize the health on the amalgam so |
| 7844s | he goes smogger you can use that to buff |
| 7846s | up the health uh you could even consider |
| 7850s | uh taking the strong shell on this turn |
| 7857s | yeah |
| 7858s | it's one of those boards i've talked |
| 7860s | about all day are sort of a bit of |
| 7861s | everything board but this one doesn't |
| 7863s | feel like it's a bit of everything |
| 7864s | that's going anywhere quickly enough |
| 7867s | happy to be wrong |
| 7869s | it's the kind of board that's surviving |
| 7870s | in the next couple turns though given |
| 7871s | that he's very much in the danger zone |
| 7873s | is up against a yes you know top of the |
| 7875s | leaderboard opponent in sleepyhs right |
| 7878s | now |
| 7879s | i'm not saying he's done it wrong i'm |
| 7880s | not saying this is bad strategy i'm just |
| 7882s | saying that right necessarily ended up |
| 7883s | where you would want you have you |
| 7885s | haven't high rolled the lobby you're |
| 7886s | doing what you can to survive my drag |
| 7889s | she's playing around cleave because i do |
| 7892s | believe sleepy is a |
| 7895s | player who's going for |
| 7897s | the faux reaper |
| 7899s | but i think he's done that fairly well |
| 7901s | obviously he could lose double divine |
| 7902s | shield but that's not the end of the |
| 7904s | world |
| 7905s | yeah it's a big deal for sleepy this is |
| 7906s | the person he needs to come seventh to |
| 7908s | have a chance of qualifying he gets a |
| 7910s | chance to throw him out it's not going |
| 7911s | to happen but hey |
| 7914s | yeah it's quite decidedly not going to |
| 7915s | happen is it this is already a pretty |
| 7917s | scary board that tesora has access to |
| 7919s | hey maybe this ball is bigger than i'm |
| 7921s | giving it credit for for to saw he does |
| 7922s | only need to finish above zigzag as well |
| 7925s | he's got four poisons two of them with |
| 7927s | divine shield that's huge that's going |
| 7929s | to take out a lot of people here |
| 7931s | yeah |
| 7933s | we don't see many people going all out |
| 7935s | on mechs uh i believe rim gosu is on |
| 7938s | recaro |
| 7939s | uh right now |
| 7941s | zigzo starting to build up that board of |
| 7944s | divine only has the two for now and now |
| 7948s | this is where he needs to know what's |
| 7949s | going on the lobby but he's facing the |
| 7950s | curtis who we've established is not |
| 7954s | particularly terrifying anymore |
| 7956s | ah short term terrifying |
| 7959s | yeah i mean i think he's transitioned |
| 7961s | pretty heavily now i think uh kurchus or |
| 7963s | cesar is on the |
| 7965s | uh poison scam of his own uh with |
| 7970s | aaron and selfless as well |
| 7972s | uh so divine shields are going to be of |
| 7974s | the utmost importance for xo which he |
| 7978s | can make happen if he sells off all his |
| 7980s | dragons |
| 7984s | uh |
| 7985s | yeah sorry sales of all dragons that |
| 7987s | don't have divine shield or are not this |
| 7989s | uh |
| 7993s | yeah sorry basically just guarantee |
| 7994s | divine shield on this dragon uh and he |
| 7997s | can get himself another huge divine |
| 7998s | shield with the amber guardians the |
| 8000s | absolute state of this of all of it this |
| 8004s | this is |
| 8005s | what's happening |
| 8006s | this is oh my |
| 8008s | how would you like a huge wildfire yeah |
| 8011s | i'm snapping that up every day of the |
| 8013s | week |
| 8014s | yeah i'd play that one six it looks like |
| 8015s | a good card |
| 8018s | definitely want to play it |
| 8019s | my god it's so big |
| 8022s | the size of it |
| 8026s | what a promo |
| 8030s | okay |
| 8032s | yeah freezing obviously the shop there's |
| 8033s | some money in there there's a wildfire |
| 8035s | in there why wouldn't you freeze it |
| 8038s | yeah the wildfire is the next big target |
| 8040s | we're looking to hit |
| 8042s | uh you could even like end up dumping |
| 8043s | the uh the promo drake right in order to |
| 8046s | get the anima bribe uh buff at that |
| 8048s | point uh cece say on the other side |
| 8050s | who's gonna be going up against six so |
| 8051s | on this turn has got the kind of thing |
| 8053s | that could maybe look to be |
| 8055s | with double divine shield uh with the |
| 8057s | baron as well i didn't clock that he had |
| 8059s | the gold as well but it doesn't die of |
| 8061s | course the counter |
| 8064s | oh oh my god one of the poisons having |
| 8067s | already gone down |
| 8068s | and therefore meaning this is probably |
| 8071s | not enough because the health is just a |
| 8073s | little bit too high especially with that |
| 8075s | snipe being taken |
| 8077s | yep |
| 8088s | sometimes |
| 8098s | yeah winning yeah staying alive |
| 8100s | lighting's staying alive at one hp which |
| 8103s | means you know the dream's still |
| 8105s | technically alive |
| 8106s | for uh sleepy foreign |
| 8109s | win the lobby |
| 8110s | light oh sorry |
| 8112s | loses next then six so lighting wins |
| 8115s | like it's getting obviously a lot more |
| 8117s | ridiculous as time goes on as subtle |
| 8119s | showing his very clear preference for |
| 8120s | what he wants to see in this game |
| 8123s | of battlegrounds all subtle has talked |
| 8126s | about for four days it's a vibe on devil |
| 8128s | and then he gets dealt it in game three |
| 8130s | we're going to see this all the time if |
| 8133s | it happens and yeah here it is and if it |
| 8134s | happens again we're going to see it all |
| 8136s | the time again it's just subtle's |
| 8138s | favorite thing |
| 8139s | not all last time i saw was top 25 i'm |
| 8142s | not sure he still is but yeah had a |
| 8144s | pretty good start this season |
| 8147s | didn't want to give it plus 120 plus 11. |
| 8150s | come on |
| 8152s | how's the big boy play not yet |
| 8155s | wait till you triple it oh then we're |
| 8157s | talking why have we got 112 because we |
| 8159s | can give it divine shield but it's just |
| 8160s | 120 promo directors just chilling until |
| 8163s | a real divine shield minion turns up |
| 8166s | all right room goes to on recaro we |
| 8167s | haven't been taking a look at but i |
| 8168s | believe he was our first player to get |
| 8170s | to six or actually currently our only |
| 8172s | player uh on top of tier six right uh |
| 8174s | which is very interestingly uh just kind |
| 8176s | of how this game is going i suppose |
| 8178s | everyone else scrapping for tempo down |
| 8180s | beneath him |
| 8181s | uh where is he on |
| 8184s | uh |
| 8185s | what is it what's that one called |
| 8187s | uh |
| 8189s | the quest he has completely man looking |
| 8191s | up at the sky |
| 8193s | yeah |
| 8195s | alter ego that's the one i was thinking |
| 8196s | like alternate persona sorry alter ego |
| 8198s | okay uh |
| 8199s | i guess having some synergy with all the |
| 8201s | divine shields despite me having been |
| 8203s | told that it's one of the weaker quests |
| 8205s | overall |
| 8207s | yeah early doors it's been sort of half |
| 8209s | playable i think but it is it is pretty |
| 8211s | weak this is the end of sleepy by the |
| 8212s | way obviously we're watching this i |
| 8214s | think you just see sleepy depart this |
| 8216s | tournament |
| 8217s | yeah there's no chance of beating this |
| 8219s | is that |
| 8223s | a good run for sleepy but unable to get |
| 8225s | it down i mean coming into this lobby he |
| 8227s | knew the odds were one in a thousand or |
| 8229s | like less even to be able to get that |
| 8231s | one done the odds was |
| 8232s | that everything needs to be so specific |
| 8234s | one after the other but it does mean it |
| 8236s | ends in a pretty unfortunate run for |
| 8238s | sleepy lighting here just managing to |
| 8241s | hang on in there right with the cooked |
| 8244s | books working alongside the uh |
| 8248s | uh the mirror in order to give him just |
| 8250s | a bunch of big divine shields which you |
| 8253s | know that's very much a kind of third |
| 8255s | fourth kind of board and uh you keep |
| 8259s | hitting good cards like the reef |
| 8260s | explorer you know maybe further because |
| 8263s | you can just keep juicing the goals more |
| 8264s | and more i think cook's books might be |
| 8267s | one of the |
| 8269s | the equivalent of the standard preview |
| 8270s | cards where people just get it wrong |
| 8272s | like when we saw the preview for |
| 8274s | cookbooks like oh my goodness from a lot |
| 8276s | of people like this this is nuts this is |
| 8277s | like know me well yeah it is but it's |
| 8279s | like know me you get on turn 14. |
| 8282s | right um so it's it's good it's very |
| 8284s | good you can see it's doing work here |
| 8286s | especially the combo you just talked |
| 8287s | about |
| 8288s | but |
| 8289s | some of the other things scales so much |
| 8291s | better compare this to what devil's |
| 8292s | doing right now you know the scaling is |
| 8295s | quite slow on the cooked books and you |
| 8297s | can't gold in it like know me you can |
| 8299s | get another nomi which helps |
| 8301s | so |
| 8303s | that's fine but with this cookbook just |
| 8304s | like you get two cooked books |
| 8307s | really cook them books man |
| 8310s | you just uh lightly simmer the books |
| 8313s | instead of bringing them to a roiling |
| 8314s | boil just point out i think sleepy was |
| 8316s | streaming judging by how he had the |
| 8318s | setup there so if you want to hear what |
| 8319s | sleep he had to say about this which |
| 8321s | you know you might want to hear |
| 8324s | um |
| 8324s | have a look at what he's doing there are |
| 8326s | many other people streaming this event |
| 8328s | so |
| 8329s | if you want to hear oh my god never |
| 8331s | lucky god if you want to hear someone |
| 8333s | right you've never heard before listen |
| 8335s | to sleepy and you'll probably learn some |
| 8337s | new ones |
| 8338s | uh selling the murloc here for like what |
| 8341s | a little bit of extra stats uh versus |
| 8344s | the |
| 8345s | uh |
| 8347s | sorry the stasis elemental was |
| 8348s | interesting but of course you lose the |
| 8350s | potential for poison on a divine shield |
| 8352s | which is very very tempting so i can |
| 8353s | respect holding on to the murloc for the |
| 8356s | moment in potentially the last turn of |
| 8358s | the lobby for lighting |
| 8361s | uh but having said that this looks |
| 8363s | winnable right as long as he doesn't get |
| 8365s | horribly unlucky with these mackerels |
| 8367s | his minions are just bigger okay just |
| 8369s | got some stuff |
| 8370s | i just got |
| 8372s | 30 30s across the board |
| 8378s | yeah okay i think we're finally reaching |
| 8380s | the end of the run for the record but |
| 8381s | that was a lot of lost stats uh for |
| 8383s | lighting for sure |
| 8385s | survives on three health as well oh man |
| 8389s | it's getting kind of close actually okay |
| 8391s | i think still a win but a little bit |
| 8392s | closer |
| 8395s | which definitely means that zigzag is |
| 8397s | still fighting out now is looking for |
| 8399s | conditions where they both make it if |
| 8400s | they come first second and that would |
| 8402s | involve |
| 8404s | ghosts who are doing badly which doesn't |
| 8405s | look like it's going to happen says out |
| 8407s | um on 11 points plus two more that's 13 |
| 8411s | that'll be enough you would think |
| 8413s | you'd think so yeah after his win in the |
| 8415s | first lobby but a definite downturn |
| 8417s | since then |
| 8419s | oh 60 versus the ghost |
| 8421s | it's another full turn of just juicing |
| 8424s | really looking for any kind of divine |
| 8425s | shield which uh that is |
| 8430s | yeah decision time how big do you want |
| 8432s | this do you want this just do you want |
| 8433s | to get rid of this stupid little dragon |
| 8435s | combo that's kind of holding you back in |
| 8436s | life right now |
| 8438s | yeah losing that board that board space |
| 8440s | you lose to amber guardian is pretty big |
| 8442s | isn't it |
| 8445s | yeah |
| 8446s | just get rid of that right now and stick |
| 8447s | it all onto an actual divine shield |
| 8449s | minion |
| 8450s | my toxin doesn't do anything right now |
| 8452s | but it might i mean yeah i guess you can |
| 8454s | shift everything else by the wayside and |
| 8456s | by sorry top spin up the uh |
| 8459s | the one four here or whatever any other |
| 8461s | murloc along the way it's probably |
| 8462s | better than anything else you have yeah |
| 8464s | if you want to get rid of the dragon |
| 8465s | combo now uh or at some point then |
| 8468s | having these little |
| 8469s | poisons now you have the space for it |
| 8472s | which you wouldn't have had before |
| 8474s | and to be fair he doesn't actually need |
| 8475s | to hit the uh |
| 8478s | you get rid of the dragon combo right |
| 8479s | now right he's still got board space you |
| 8481s | can just leave himself with one massive |
| 8482s | minion at the end of this turn |
| 8484s | yep yeah he's in no hurries against the |
| 8485s | ghost just setting up for what he wants |
| 8487s | to do next turn |
| 8490s | i see stupid how they just suddenly grow |
| 8492s | in size because of the devil ability on |
| 8494s | top of the oh my god it's so dark they |
| 8496s | get real big |
| 8499s | using just to take a 25 |
| 8501s | um |
| 8503s | 25 25 shield there rather than buffing |
| 8505s | it to some sort of crazy size |
| 8509s | maybe last five years |
| 8511s | to surah who's on the uh the evil twin |
| 8514s | plus uh |
| 8517s | wildfire combo but with all of these |
| 8519s | mackerels |
| 8520s | that might not be good enough right |
| 8522s | running into divine shields that's the |
| 8524s | last thing you want to see |
| 8526s | yeah and it is good enough for zigzag |
| 8528s | almost certainly if this happens as well |
| 8530s | oh huge hit we'll be picking up the |
| 8533s | points he's overtaken and already |
| 8538s | such a clutch last couple of hits i |
| 8540s | think that does mean that uh tessura is |
| 8542s | able to stay in worse hits and he would |
| 8544s | have |
| 8545s | been definitely dying to all those |
| 8546s | mackerels uh but rivapusa falling by the |
| 8549s | wayside now i think also guaranteed uh |
| 8552s | to make it through given that he |
| 8553s | finished in first at the end of the |
| 8555s | first two lobbies walking away with |
| 8557s | three points now up to 14.5 |
| 8561s | this is nutty and a reminder that tesora |
| 8563s | is half a point ahead of xo so if they |
| 8565s | both go out now which for what we've |
| 8567s | seen is oh my god unlikely scenario zixo |
| 8570s | would go out by half a point in fifth |
| 8572s | unless they've all overtaken somebody |
| 8574s | that i've missed out but i think that's |
| 8575s | how it will go |
| 8577s | and so zixo is up against a whole bunch |
| 8579s | of divine shields on the |
| 8580s | mackerels is the really scary thing so |
| 8583s | it's mainly just about juicing up these |
| 8585s | stats as much as possible these murlocs |
| 8587s | have a very good chance of just being |
| 8588s | thoroughly underwhelming on this turn |
| 8591s | but with two divine shields in the shop |
| 8593s | he has the ability to juice up the stats |
| 8596s | on these divine shields very very |
| 8598s | heavily pop bot omega big already and |
| 8601s | this deflecto bot is going to end up |
| 8603s | absolutely enormous as well |
| 8606s | yeah and |
| 8607s | i don't think he will have a very clear |
| 8609s | idea what he's up against here either |
| 8612s | i'm pretty sure he hasn't played um the |
| 8614s | ghost of any time recently |
| 8616s | and you know you'll get some read but |
| 8618s | you see mex and you know there's gonna |
| 8619s | be shields we don't know exactly what |
| 8621s | sort of shield is going to be |
| 8623s | whether it's going to be reflecting |
| 8624s | deflectors whether it's going to be |
| 8626s | um refreshing |
| 8628s | recalls but either way you know your |
| 8630s | poisons are probably a bit garbage |
| 8633s | i'd expect the positioning to change a |
| 8634s | little bit here |
| 8637s | really want to hit this 50 50 if |
| 8639s | possible or he needs to start selling |
| 8640s | mechs unless he's not taking the |
| 8642s | deflector on this turn okay okay it's |
| 8644s | fine right there's no there's no reset |
| 8646s | anyway so |
| 8647s | whatever another divine shield though |
| 8649s | which is a very big difference |
| 8656s | oh man it's so close it's tough to say |
| 8658s | shot hotbot enough to carry it |
| 8665s | on the metal so far |
| 8667s | okay okay |
| 8668s | that's kill the mecca rule okay now he's |
| 8670s | got a chance now he's now i think he |
| 8672s | gets there i think that does it yeah |
| 8674s | yeah he's just too big now so the next |
| 8676s | question is just to sora survive |
| 8681s | just about yeah |
| 8683s | oh |
| 8684s | it's out and zigzag looks like he's i'm |
| 8686s | not an official source as always remind |
| 8688s | me but i think zixo |
| 8690s | will have clinched that top four spot |
| 8692s | with that and looking at his face i |
| 8694s | think that confirms it too |
| 8696s | there's a whole lot of relief on that |
| 8697s | face i know the zikzo faces they will |
| 8699s | look exactly the same as each other |
| 8701s | guaranteed at least five up to 11.5 now |
| 8704s | uh |
| 8705s | looking to be what river pusa |
| 8709s | rim goes gosu and zixo at the moment i |
| 8712s | think so i haven't actually looked to |
| 8713s | see if anyone dropped down below those |
| 8715s | i'm just keeping an eye on six so |
| 8717s | yeah i think you're right |
| 8719s | also um |
| 8721s | the the most important thing |
| 8723s | that's going to happen right now is we |
| 8724s | need zigzag to win this fight otherwise |
| 8726s | subtle and his devil always comes third |
| 8728s | memes are going to be way too much for |
| 8729s | you |
| 8730s | so we want subtle to be better than he |
| 8733s | thought he was and actually finished |
| 8734s | second every time rather i don't care |
| 8736s | where dell finishes as long as it isn't |
| 8738s | precisely third to be honest |
| 8742s | but let's face it daryl always finishes |
| 8744s | third we know this |
| 8748s | they use the shields to get rid of any |
| 8750s | potential shields using the poison to |
| 8752s | dump things off but last time you saw |
| 8754s | zixo put those poisons towards the back |
| 8757s | he knew he was up against refreshing |
| 8759s | shields even he didn't know exactly |
| 8760s | where they were |
| 8761s | this time |
| 8762s | he's not expecting refreshing shields |
| 8764s | lol good luck with that um |
| 8767s | unlucky so he's putting the poisons in |
| 8769s | different spots |
| 8774s | going to allow him actually to take down |
| 8777s | this |
| 8778s | one taunt minion very early on so he has |
| 8780s | got the positioning right zigza on the |
| 8781s | other side |
| 8783s | yeah nice second poison is late right |
| 8785s | sorry |
| 8786s | yeah |
| 8787s | i think his second poison is late zigzag |
| 8789s | so he's put the first poison into |
| 8790s | position two so he takes this down |
| 8792s | no the third poison's actually just |
| 8794s | gonna have an accident okay |
| 8797s | uh not necessarily it could take one of |
| 8799s | the collectors right oh no sorry |
| 8803s | there was opportunity for it to get |
| 8804s | lucky but yeah in general you wanted it |
| 8806s | further back |
| 8807s | that's maximum output |
| 8810s | oh another reset on the deflectors is |
| 8812s | that gonna be enough it's real tight |
| 8814s | right now |
| 8818s | looking for a clutch poison on the pop |
| 8820s | bop |
| 8823s | he is only on um tier four as well so |
| 8825s | he's not guaranteed to kill ziko here |
| 8828s | guaranteed to take the win |
| 8830s | guaranteed to knock him out as well at |
| 8832s | seven damage exactly man lightning |
| 8834s | having the game of his life now turning |
| 8836s | it around after a seventh and an eighth |
| 8839s | in the previous two lobbies stop it |
| 8841s | zottle |
| 8844s | getting that third place across the |
| 8846s | screen we know what you're doing |
| 8849s | ah that was funny okay i'll give you |
| 8850s | that one |
| 8851s | and room goes |
| 8852s | just managing to hang on in there right |
| 8854s | i kind of thought he was bit being |
| 8856s | outscaled for the most part but either |
| 8858s | he got some lucky fights some good |
| 8859s | mackerel hits or maybe this is just |
| 8860s | stronger than i anticipated |
| 8862s | um but he's uh he's getting there right |
| 8865s | now i don't know if it's gonna be enough |
| 8867s | to stand up against all those divine |
| 8869s | shields from lighting as he is just |
| 8870s | constantly scaling more and more every |
| 8872s | turn |
| 8873s | uh but it's gonna be a uh close one for |
| 8876s | sure yeah i think the michaels have just |
| 8877s | scaled you can see the attack being so |
| 8879s | much bigger than the health they've just |
| 8880s | scaled really well through the course of |
| 8882s | these fights from the from the bots so |
| 8885s | he's he's never looked strong like crazy |
| 8888s | strong but he's been slightly ahead and |
| 8890s | keeping there like scaling slightly at |
| 8892s | the same speed as everyone else was |
| 8894s | starting off ahead basically |
| 8896s | um |
| 8898s | looking for she takes like his stuff's |
| 8901s | bigger |
| 8902s | golem there in order to get another |
| 8904s | refresh |
| 8905s | maybe maybe not oh the uh |
| 8908s | the big tunnel blaster is interesting |
| 8910s | right because his opponent is obviously |
| 8911s | reliant on divine shields but there's |
| 8913s | the mackerels there as well which can |
| 8915s | mess up |
| 8917s | the uh anti-divine shield strategy a bit |
| 8920s | yeah he's had this fight before being |
| 8922s | relayed to us um obviously |
| 8925s | interesting how you go about putting |
| 8926s | your selflessness here because they're |
| 8928s | not going to die to the tunnel blaster |
| 8929s | so you want it to |
| 8932s | run into something but being a 46 45 |
| 8935s | it's a little bit awkward but i'm sure |
| 8937s | we'll find a way to kill it |
| 8938s | there we go |
| 8943s | okay |
| 8948s | whoa huge hit there in order to take out |
| 8950s | the other metal now it's looking like |
| 8953s | these stats are just going to be a |
| 8954s | little bit too much |
| 8955s | for all lighting |
| 8959s | i'm keeping notices 48 hitting to either |
| 8961s | 48 or 49 there for instance there's a |
| 8963s | lot of absolute that was not a good hit |
| 8966s | terminal break points going on in this |
| 8968s | one but he is going to get him |
| 8971s | and it's not going to be enough for him |
| 8972s | to survive in the tournament but it is |
| 8974s | going to be enough for him to finish and |
| 8976s | sort of say hey look i can play this |
| 8978s | game i picked enough as a knight picked |
| 8980s | it again came first |
| 8983s | yeah it was a very well played game by |
| 8985s | lighting that combo that he got on |
| 8986s | danathy at this time of cooked books |
| 8987s | plus the mirror very very cool to see uh |
| 8990s | the interaction you can get with more |
| 8991s | than one quest working together i |
| 8993s | honestly didn't think that that would be |
| 8994s | a first place kind of |
| 8996s | combo i thought that would be a solid |
| 8997s | you know daryl style combo where you get |
| 9000s | three uh top three uh that way but in |
| 9003s | the end obviously daryl had to finish |
| 9005s | third place even with the anime anima |
| 9007s | bribe sorry to go alongside it not anime |
| 9009s | bribe that sounds like something uh much |
| 9011s | more uh unpleasant um but for uh with |
| 9014s | that all said and done uh we're |
| 9016s | collating the results but i think that |
| 9018s | does mean that zikzo just scrapes in |
| 9021s | right uh yeah i think so today's from |
| 9023s | the looks of it |
| 9024s | yeah that was |
| 9026s | i think so i'm not going to commit to it |
| 9027s | but i'm pretty sure he just sneaks above |
| 9030s | to silva by half a point and grabs that |
| 9032s | fourth place |
| 9039s | tough game for a lot of our competitors |
| 9041s | who are close to making it but unable to |
| 9043s | clutch out uh to surah and and god 5 |
| 9046s | being the main two right who were right |
| 9049s | on that threshold they were in fourth |
| 9051s | and fifth potentially able to get the |
| 9052s | job done |
| 9053s | uh but just coming out one place below |
| 9055s | six so |
| 9057s | tough game for tesura |
| 9058s | i liked his strategy you know playing |
| 9060s | the only real curve you can do on top |
| 9063s | waggles but just hitting really rough |
| 9065s | boards at the start meant he lost a |
| 9066s | little bit too much health and had no |
| 9068s | buffer to work with |
| 9069s | yeah i just want to go back to that |
| 9070s | decision that zigza made as well right |
| 9073s | um |
| 9075s | he chose devil knowing devil always |
| 9077s | comes third which i said at the time |
| 9079s | it's not exact but it is it's a |
| 9081s | reasonable description of what devil |
| 9082s | does |
| 9083s | and he knew that |
| 9085s | he was relying on |
| 9087s | other things that go his way if he did |
| 9089s | that |
| 9090s | um it was the maths play which is when |
| 9092s | he was experiencing zikzo the sort of |
| 9093s | play you end up making more often than |
| 9095s | not but |
| 9097s | it could have backfired but he could |
| 9098s | have a third and still not made it but |
| 9100s | he just relied on you know what the |
| 9102s | things that have to go against me if i |
| 9103s | do come third have to go so wrong but |
| 9105s | i'm just gonna take that and see what |
| 9107s | happens and it looks like it's got him |
| 9108s | into that top four |
| 9111s | very nicely done i'm happy for lighting |
| 9113s | that he was able to get a good game |
| 9114s | again we didn't want to see him come in |
| 9116s | uh relative unknown and just finish uh |
| 9119s | seventh eighth eighth uh with |
| 9120s | danatherius games in a row at the end |
| 9122s | there so getting that win there shows he |
| 9124s | clearly knows what he's doing very |
| 9126s | impressive to have made it to this point |
| 9127s | in the first place anyway as here we see |
| 9130s | our breakdown and pretty much larinda we |
| 9133s | were on the money good job yeah we're |
| 9134s | always right we we always commit |
| 9137s | yeah |
| 9138s | never get it wrong as to sarah just |
| 9139s | missing out by half a point uh on that |
| 9143s | top four which he would actually uh |
| 9145s | almost have been able to clutch out uh |
| 9147s | but xixo getting the win there in third |
| 9149s | place means that that is our top four |
| 9151s | going through to tomorrow from group a |
| 9154s | rim goes to river pusa cese and zigzag |
| 9158s | clutching in in that fourth spot some |
| 9160s | exciting games |
| 9161s | yeah and three players that we've seen |
| 9163s | in lobby legends before in that top four |
| 9166s | there which isn't a massive surprise |
| 9167s | because we've also seen sleepy before |
| 9169s | and so on i think but |
| 9170s | um |
| 9171s | it does show that a little bit of |
| 9173s | experience under the pressure of only |
| 9175s | having three lobbies to prove yourself |
| 9177s | maybe obviously it shows it's sample |
| 9178s | size of one lobby right obviously but it |
| 9181s | we could see the relaxedness there and |
| 9183s | it's just to say in particular just yeah |
| 9184s | i'm here i'm lobby legends again here's |
| 9186s | what i do |
| 9187s | um things going right things going wrong |
| 9189s | just getting on with it zixo making |
| 9191s | clear decisions and so on so |
| 9193s | um happy for lighting getting that win |
| 9195s | there because then when he's here again |
| 9197s | in future he's got that win under his |
| 9199s | belt so a lot less pressure to show |
| 9201s | people what you can do |
| 9203s | very much so uh with that all said and |
| 9206s | done i believe we are now going to be |
| 9208s | getting |
| 9209s | group b |
| 9211s | sets up which means uh a break for that |
| 9214s | as well even though we're not uh going |
| 9216s | yeah okay cool getting that all set up |
| 9218s | brilliant so when we come back xqn fans |
| 9220s | can rejoice because he will be playing |
| 9222s | alongside all of our other worthy |
| 9224s | competitors in group b to find out who |
| 9226s | are remaining four players will be |
| 9228s | joining us on sunday we'll be right back |
| 9231s | after this break |
| 9248s | so |
| 9263s | hmm |
| 9317s | so |
| 9345s | so |
| 9416s | so |
| 9442s | so |
| 9454s | so |
| 9479s | hmm |
| 9503s | do |
| 9608s | so |
| 9642s | hmm |
| 9670s | do |
| 9683s | do |
| 9704s | foreign |
| 9780s | do |
| 9807s | so |
| 9850s | you are watching hearthstone lobby |
| 9851s | legends magic of azeroth and if you're |
| 9854s | joining us now you've picked the perfect |
| 9855s | time to do so we're done with all our |
| 9857s | group a matches and we now have three |
| 9859s | lobbies from group b uh to be working |
| 9863s | through here to find our other four |
| 9864s | competitors joining us on sunday for our |
| 9867s | check format mega lobby ultra battle |
| 9870s | gladiator extraordinaire uh and only |
| 9874s | half of these players as i said are |
| 9875s | going to be making it through lorenda |
| 9877s | only half of them indeed xqn the star of |
| 9881s | the show for this one but alex has been |
| 9883s | here before first of us is his first |
| 9885s | time on stream but he's a player that |
| 9887s | i'm very aware of from watching |
| 9890s | um various stuff uh young chang from |
| 9893s | china apparently a strong player as well |
| 9894s | we've heard |
| 9896s | um so interesting to see how that goes |
| 9897s | down but it's about xqm let's face it |
| 9899s | there's no sorry to the other players |
| 9901s | when xq ends in your lobby xqa and gets |
| 9903s | talked about that's just kind of how |
| 9905s | battlegrounds is um he's not the only |
| 9907s | player to have made it through the first |
| 9909s | round of qualifying in every lobby |
| 9910s | legends river pools has also done it uh |
| 9913s | dapido did it for at least four events |
| 9916s | i'm not sure how he did for this one |
| 9917s | um but xqn |
| 9919s | incredibly consistent obviously a very |
| 9921s | popular streamer obviously |
| 9923s | always makes it through to the |
| 9925s | qualifying stage it's the top 16 from |
| 9927s | your region making well he's always |
| 9928s | ranked one or two so of course he makes |
| 9930s | it |
| 9931s | um but anyone you're interested to see |
| 9933s | we've seen alex play for instance in |
| 9934s | inconstructed as well |
| 9937s | yeah i think the the big one for me is |
| 9938s | obviously |
| 9939s | xqm as you said i think uh having gotten |
| 9941s | a little bit more information from uh |
| 9943s | ben is seeing uh yoon chang is something |
| 9945s | i'm interested in in seeing uh we did |
| 9947s | get some exciting games out of our |
| 9949s | chinese representatives in the uh the |
| 9951s | previous group uh with of course um |
| 9955s | as we saw lighting uh getting that uh |
| 9957s | seventh eighth then all the way up to |
| 9959s | first so i'm excited to see how that can |
| 9961s | shake up because you know very often |
| 9962s | between different regions you get |
| 9964s | different styles of play that shake up |
| 9967s | uh in constructed very famously but also |
| 9970s | in battlegrounds as well you know you |
| 9971s | hear stories about how the japanese |
| 9972s | players were like the best in the world |
| 9974s | back in the day it didn't even have a |
| 9975s | bunch of different curves uh that we use |
| 9977s | very commonly here in the uh the english |
| 9979s | speaking uh battleground scene uh so |
| 9982s | curious to see how that is to shake |
| 9983s | things up especially with the quest as |
| 9985s | we've said many times coming through and |
| 9987s | completely blowing the meta uh up in the |
| 9989s | air with uh it being anyone's guess as |
| 9992s | to |
| 9993s | how you're supposed to uh what you're |
| 9995s | supposed to focus on uh yeah i think in |
| 9998s | constructed we've seen china shaping |
| 10000s | very early metas more and more in the |
| 10002s | last two or three years than they maybe |
| 10004s | they're used to |
| 10006s | um i know this isn't the same game but |
| 10008s | it's it's basically the same thing the |
| 10010s | same players play a lot of |
| 10012s | a lot of the time so i think it'll be |
| 10014s | interesting to see like you just said |
| 10015s | whether china have |
| 10016s | come in there with a a different thing |
| 10018s | we've seen donathius is being taken so |
| 10020s | we also saw york taking over tonight i'm |
| 10023s | just sorry |
| 10024s | i'm waffling but that's just come back |
| 10026s | to me how did that hap occur like that |
| 10028s | was interesting to say the least it was |
| 10030s | taking over gallywix holy cow it's not |
| 10032s | that sentence again |
| 10034s | right yog was taking over gallywix |
| 10035s | earlier nothing to do with china right |
| 10037s | cameo goodness gracious me what uh that |
| 10040s | was a word sentence thanks brenda |
| 10042s | goodbye i'll get back to bed see you in |
| 10044s | a bit |
| 10047s | uh |
| 10048s | we are waiting for the players to jump |
| 10050s | into the games |
| 10053s | uh what do we see so we saw a lot of |
| 10054s | different uh comps getting through to |
| 10056s | the end there the winning comps in |
| 10058s | different lobbies were first time it was |
| 10060s | tricksters right yep it got there and |
| 10063s | that was kind of a scrappy lobby then it |
| 10065s | was very decisively uh nagas alongside |
| 10068s | vol'jin because it was just a whole |
| 10070s | bunch of stats nothing could outscale |
| 10072s | that there weren't murlocs there was no |
| 10073s | tempo |
| 10074s | sorry no poison option available to |
| 10076s | fight back against all those stats and |
| 10078s | then in the third one it was dinatrious |
| 10079s | with basically just relying purely on |
| 10081s | the two quests in uh cooked books and |
| 10083s | the mirror as well to be able to gain a |
| 10085s | bunch of divine shields with mega buffed |
| 10087s | stats so it does feel like again as you |
| 10090s | sort of predicted the |
| 10092s | direction that you're going in is not |
| 10094s | necessarily dictated by which uh |
| 10097s | minion types are offered to you or which |
| 10099s | ones you want to move towards it's very |
| 10101s | much guided by |
| 10102s | that quest that's allowing you to make |
| 10105s | different powerful combos work which is |
| 10107s | super cool to see and i wonder if that |
| 10109s | will continue in group b as well |
| 10112s | yeah i think we're seeing a lot of stats |
| 10114s | poison being |
| 10115s | hard to get on mass now with removal of |
| 10118s | seven so we're seeing stats and divine |
| 10120s | shields take the day |
| 10122s | that's to me made mex just slightly |
| 10124s | better than everything else because you |
| 10125s | don't have to mess around getting your |
| 10126s | divine shields so |
| 10128s | mechs are kind of a solid take but again |
| 10131s | what you just said i think just just |
| 10132s | take the stuff you're offered see what |
| 10133s | your quest does and go for it what we |
| 10135s | haven't seen yet though is someone with |
| 10137s | an opportunity to play beasts |
| 10140s | um as always what happens in these |
| 10141s | conversations the start of the day we |
| 10143s | say the one thing we want to see today |
| 10145s | is |
| 10146s | beast or shudderwock or whatever and |
| 10149s | then we just don't get it for the whole |
| 10150s | day because the game hates us |
| 10152s | though why are beasts so high up your |
| 10155s | priority of being seen is it because of |
| 10156s | quest interaction or just general power |
| 10158s | level yeah the fact you can just stealth |
| 10161s | something away in the right hand side |
| 10162s | and just have it sit there and not die |
| 10164s | in the instance of batman the fact you |
| 10166s | can give golden to your left and right |
| 10168s | minions um in the instances of mama |
| 10170s | bears the instance of leapers and so on |
| 10173s | um |
| 10174s | in parrots whatever you can just set up |
| 10178s | nasty beast combos a lot more easily |
| 10180s | than you see you don't have to buy all |
| 10181s | the pieces and you're sort of going okay |
| 10184s | therefore be like oh what if my baron |
| 10186s | gets sniped no it doesn't because it's |
| 10187s | got stealth and no one's going to |
| 10189s | mess around trying to |
| 10191s | use a zap to kill it because they've got |
| 10193s | their own problems they're not on tier |
| 10194s | six because everyone's on tier four or |
| 10196s | five for the longest time |
| 10198s | though |
| 10199s | beasts just get to sneak through and |
| 10200s | build their comps right now |
| 10202s | but again it is quest interaction but |
| 10204s | also it's multiple quest interactions so |
| 10208s | you've got a good chance plus the quest |
| 10210s | comes up on turn four |
| 10212s | so |
| 10213s | you don't have to sort of invest |
| 10214s | anything into it until you see if you've |
| 10216s | got the quest or not so i think i think |
| 10217s | at some point we will see beast just |
| 10219s | take a lobby down with with ease at some |
| 10221s | point okay i like the prediction i think |
| 10223s | you may be right there it's definitely |
| 10224s | been powerful whenever i see it in my |
| 10226s | lobbies uh but of all the different |
| 10228s | things i've kind of talked to you about |
| 10230s | the while we're trying to fill time the |
| 10231s | different components of a big |
| 10233s | battlegrounds game uh obviously we've |
| 10235s | talked about the quest the heroes the uh |
| 10236s | the minion types that you're looking for |
| 10238s | uh the one thing that i find very |
| 10239s | interesting right now is specifically |
| 10241s | with that last game taken into account |
| 10242s | is uh leveling up when you go up tavern |
| 10245s | tears because uh you know as i've kind |
| 10248s | of learned more about the game been |
| 10249s | advised more and more it feels like |
| 10250s | leveling aggressively is something that |
| 10252s | players are obviously looking to do very |
| 10254s | much wherever possible but in that game |
| 10257s | it was only one |
| 10259s | player right on ricara and mex that went |
| 10261s | all the way to tavern tier vi everyone |
| 10263s | else was floating around on tavern tier |
| 10264s | four or five uh is that a common thread |
| 10267s | that you're expecting to see over the |
| 10269s | course of this weekend is tavento six |
| 10272s | kind of overrated in this matter i mean |
| 10274s | having tier six if you can get there is |
| 10276s | lovely so if you complete your quest bam |
| 10278s | bam bam get some big stuff everything's |
| 10280s | got plus 15 plus 15. lol i'm destroying |
| 10282s | the board yeah you go to six and you |
| 10284s | just you just win the lobby because |
| 10285s | you're at six but the more real more |
| 10288s | usual situation is you've got to get |
| 10290s | three more battle cry minions to |
| 10292s | complete your quest or you need a |
| 10294s | death battle thing to die so you've got |
| 10295s | to buy one and leveling's expensive |
| 10298s | right now spending seven to go from |
| 10300s | four to five on turn whatever it would |
| 10302s | be at that cost it's just a lot of gold |
| 10305s | that you can invest in buying some |
| 10306s | minions to complete your quest or |
| 10308s | you need gold to complete quests and |
| 10310s | they're more important than levels so |
| 10312s | unless you |
| 10313s | really destroy your quest get through it |
| 10316s | really quickly and then yeah go to six |
| 10317s | by all means you're fiddling around on |
| 10319s | three for occasionally five because you |
| 10321s | might get a triple into a six |
| 10324s | and completing your quest and not |
| 10325s | worrying too much about leveling up i |
| 10328s | think it's very |
| 10330s | hard to efficiently level beyond four |
| 10332s | right now |
| 10333s | all right well with that all said and |
| 10335s | done i believe we're gonna go to a quick |
| 10336s | break we have a friends list issue that |
| 10338s | is being resolved as we speak uh so a |
| 10340s | very short technical break and when we |
| 10342s | come back we will begin uh with game one |
| 10344s | of group brie uh group b sorry here at |
| 10346s | hearthstone lobby legends |
| 10411s | so |
| 10524s | so |
| 10546s | welcome back everyone to lobby legends |
| 10548s | magic of azeroth as i said at the start |
| 10550s | the uh the fifth of our lobby legend |
| 10553s | events for this year and we've had uh |
| 10557s | quite a few repeat performers already so |
| 10559s | far this year we're seeing obviously uh |
| 10561s | zixo again uh ribahusa xq and a lot of |
| 10564s | these repeat performers uh but none of |
| 10566s | them with the uh the victory to their |
| 10568s | name which is of course what they're all |
| 10570s | looking to get for this weekend |
| 10573s | yeah i remember with uh masters tours |
| 10575s | and with tour stops it was like who's |
| 10577s | going to get me the first one to get two |
| 10578s | and obviously it was hunter 8 on tour |
| 10580s | stops but then with master's tours like |
| 10582s | no one will ever get to and then lies |
| 10584s | nowhere didn't really know who he was |
| 10586s | just won two in a row yeah so we're |
| 10588s | waiting for that moment in lobby legends |
| 10590s | where somebody wins their second one uh |
| 10592s | with it only being the fifth tournament |
| 10593s | obviously we're still waiting for a lot |
| 10594s | of people to win their first one uh but |
| 10596s | slowly but surely the ranks are growing |
| 10599s | and with several more events this year i |
| 10600s | wouldn't be surprised to see somebody |
| 10602s | win twice we're seeing a lot of repeat |
| 10604s | performers a lot of people in the final |
| 10606s | day |
| 10607s | multiple times dapido obviously doing it |
| 10609s | three times so |
| 10611s | i think we are going to see at some |
| 10613s | point |
| 10615s | somebody win two of these but probably |
| 10617s | not this time around i think like you |
| 10618s | said we haven't got a winner in this |
| 10620s | field this time |
| 10623s | but i think river person versus xqm |
| 10625s | tomorrow would be a fantastic thing to |
| 10626s | see i'm not biased it's just a thing i |
| 10628s | think that people would enjoy watching |
| 10631s | liverpool's somebody who |
| 10634s | i don't think we stated enough how good |
| 10635s | he's been going into this he's already |
| 10637s | done well in every single qualifier just |
| 10639s | like xqn has |
| 10641s | did well in original tournaments like |
| 10643s | when people were running community |
| 10644s | tournaments he won a couple of those |
| 10645s | early days very strong players so |
| 10648s | i mean i'm expecting to do well tomorrow |
| 10651s | not at all surprised to see him get out |
| 10652s | the group |
| 10653s | me neither yeah uh but in terms of our |
| 10656s | players here that we have today |
| 10657s | obviously xqn is the player that we keep |
| 10658s | talking about being most familiar with |
| 10660s | having seen him play plenty on stream in |
| 10662s | your estimation is he the kind of player |
| 10664s | that does well at the start of matters |
| 10667s | where everyone needs to figure stuff out |
| 10669s | with the quest or is he one of those |
| 10670s | players that you see in both constructed |
| 10672s | and battlegrounds where they just once |
| 10674s | the meta is figured out they grind it |
| 10676s | and they just become the best at it |
| 10678s | xqn is absolutely the the first category |
| 10681s | he just looks at cards know what they |
| 10683s | don't play them like |
| 10685s | you could just have random text on the |
| 10688s | cards that you have to read at the start |
| 10690s | of the game and he'd just know oh i'm |
| 10691s | going to take this because later on |
| 10693s | there'll be a random card that does this |
| 10694s | i'm sure of it and he'll just take it |
| 10695s | and that |
| 10696s | will appear and then he'll be good he |
| 10698s | just |
| 10699s | sees the matrix i think sort of you say |
| 10701s | that about life coaching constructed but |
| 10703s | xc just sees the matrix he just |
| 10704s | understands all of the interactions and |
| 10706s | how they're going to interact with all |
| 10707s | the other interactions and yeah i'm |
| 10709s | going over the top and saying how great |
| 10711s | he is that's because he's really good |
| 10713s | deal with it |
| 10715s | yeah better than you watch him he's |
| 10716s | better than us castle he's good at this |
| 10718s | game |
| 10719s | wow |
| 10720s | better than us casting let's not go |
| 10721s | crazy okay i have |
| 10724s | reached a pretty decent mmr myself uh |
| 10726s | okay okay yeah he's better than he's |
| 10728s | better than everybody watching and he's |
| 10729s | better than me but derek |
| 10732s | it's just i mean i see his rank balance |
| 10734s | he's in the balance i see his rank and |
| 10736s | it says he's like 15 000 whereas i'm |
| 10739s | like 300th so uh clearly uh i'm way |
| 10742s | better than him right that's how |
| 10745s | omr works |
| 10746s | yes that's exactly what those numbers |
| 10748s | mean exactly well done |
| 10751s | i knew coming across from construction |
| 10753s | didn't fail you on the numbers one did |
| 10755s | it |
| 10757s | where higher numbers actually mean |
| 10758s | something whereas me i'm i'm really good |
| 10760s | at constructive because derek's like you |
| 10762s | know got a hundred mmr and construction |
| 10764s | and i've got like 20 000 or something |
| 10765s | it's great way better yeah that's how it |
| 10768s | works |
| 10769s | um but uh still once again wayne's jump |
| 10771s | into uh the game here between uh |
| 10775s | you're gone finish that sentence all of |
| 10777s | our players |
| 10778s | yeah i mean |
| 10781s | yeah any uh any thoughts on uh the |
| 10785s | metagame any games that we've seen so |
| 10787s | far larinda any uh |
| 10789s | uh quests that we haven't seen that |
| 10791s | you've just gotta go to see |
| 10794s | yeah yeah |
| 10795s | we haven't we just haven't seen wisdom |
| 10797s | bull that's that's that's the big one i |
| 10799s | want to see wisdom ball i want to see it |
| 10800s | do wisdomy things because i still don't |
| 10802s | know all the things it can do uh but it |
| 10804s | could do a lot and it's dumb and i love |
| 10806s | it |
| 10808s | yeah i mean you saw me play a a wisdom |
| 10810s | ball game last night with both you and |
| 10812s | subtle spectating which was admittedly |
| 10813s | not the most constructive way to do it |
| 10816s | when you have two people trying to tell |
| 10817s | you at the same time you're waiting for |
| 10818s | confirmation on all your plays but it |
| 10820s | was just absolute information overload |
| 10822s | like it was the most biggest disaster of |
| 10823s | a game i've played in a long time |
| 10825s | hitting triples roping them out though |
| 10827s | and like having no idea what to do but |
| 10829s | it's a very very cool quest rord and |
| 10830s | like you say i do hope we get to see it |
| 10832s | at some point especially as i believe it |
| 10834s | was one of the quest rewards that was |
| 10836s | buffed uh in |
| 10845s | interesting choice here um oh my |
| 10847s | goodness even more interesting i was |
| 10848s | going to say it's between donathius and |
| 10850s | milhouse |
| 10851s | but going even more wide and |
| 10855s | secure here |
| 10857s | yeah the girl wing very interesting one |
| 10858s | of those three on three heroes typically |
| 10861s | uh which we talk about not being too |
| 10862s | strong |
| 10863s | uh |
| 10864s | seeing more and more it feels like these |
| 10866s | players not going with the typically |
| 10868s | strong no armor heroes and instead going |
| 10871s | with these kind of mid-tier heroes that |
| 10873s | have obviously a better armor class |
| 10876s | yeah the armor being a big deal as |
| 10878s | you're implying there because you do get |
| 10880s | a |
| 10882s | a reduction in how difficult it is to |
| 10884s | complete quests and as you may have |
| 10885s | heard has mentioned once or twice today |
| 10888s | this meta game is all about quests so |
| 10890s | it does seem like the players are rating |
| 10893s | the armor pretty highly i've made a mini |
| 10896s | spreadsheet as to how impactful armor |
| 10898s | can be and i think |
| 10899s | it's still just in the balance i'm not |
| 10901s | willing to call it either way but the |
| 10903s | players you're seeing there only two |
| 10905s | players going for uh three players going |
| 10906s | for non-armored characters here out of |
| 10908s | eight |
| 10910s | it does look like we have the very spicy |
| 10912s | new strat available from uh |
| 10914s | lich bazz uh of |
| 10917s | level on one very possibly level on two |
| 10920s | as well right is what you are uh |
| 10922s | sometimes looking at which is pretty |
| 10923s | spicy to see |
| 10926s | yeah interesting we talked about three |
| 10928s | on three well yeah alex welcome back to |
| 10930s | broadcast with miss alex |
| 10932s | three on two oh three on two what is |
| 10935s | even whatever those numbers mean oh that |
| 10938s | is spice |
| 10940s | yeah double tad instead this shop's just |
| 10942s | good right |
| 10944s | a little bit more responsible you would |
| 10946s | be just like basically dead already if |
| 10948s | you do that and go three on two take |
| 10950s | four damage lose the next fight as well |
| 10952s | but i mean look at this three on three |
| 10954s | he's got next turn it fits the curve for |
| 10956s | three without having to sell it and then |
| 10958s | he's got the two tads for the turn after |
| 10960s | and who knows what's going to be in that |
| 10962s | shop so |
| 10963s | but bob knows and then he'll get his |
| 10965s | quest announced as well this is a sort |
| 10967s | of three on three i like |
| 10970s | what the one where you have three |
| 10971s | minions in play yeah i like that three |
| 10973s | on three as well yeah |
| 10975s | absolutely |
| 10979s | um the damage shouldn't be understated |
| 10981s | on lich i absolutely love how this works |
| 10983s | out but |
| 10984s | it over the course of a game you can |
| 10985s | lose maybe two fewer fights than you can |
| 10988s | normally lose which |
| 10989s | again it's like yeah but i'm so strong i |
| 10991s | won't lose any fights well |
| 10993s | if you're 80 for every fight as that |
| 10995s | triple goes into the shop and he is |
| 10997s | excited by it |
| 10998s | if if you're 80 to win every fight you |
| 11001s | are going to lose an extra fight |
| 11002s | somewhere along the lines |
| 11003s | so you've got to watch your health total |
| 11007s | okay spicy options khadgar plus rat pack |
| 11009s | you know interesting of course just for |
| 11011s | some immediate synergy uh but amber |
| 11014s | guardian |
| 11015s | even without the dragon to go alongside |
| 11017s | it is kind of catching my eye uh just |
| 11021s | for a potential high power swing in the |
| 11023s | next few turns |
| 11024s | just looking at the shot because i can |
| 11026s | see that alley account i'm trying to |
| 11027s | work out there's um there's so much |
| 11030s | stuff that goes with this shot right as |
| 11032s | well |
| 11034s | state of this because yeah that's not |
| 11036s | usually about the backpack but yeah |
| 11039s | the tabby's |
| 11040s | makes sense to me just giving you an |
| 11042s | immediate pair for a potential triple |
| 11045s | uh as we see the tad was |
| 11048s | passed up i'm guessing right the tad |
| 11051s | triple uh |
| 11053s | oh did he take the trip oh yeah sorry in |
| 11055s | order to get the uh |
| 11057s | uh the tara goes yeah yeah you're right |
| 11059s | and then sold it for two more locks that |
| 11061s | makes and apparently gale wing stayed on |
| 11063s | two so the torque would be on three for |
| 11065s | the whole day like we'll continue if |
| 11067s | gail wings it right good luck everybody |
| 11069s | grab some quests getting more tads as |
| 11072s | well |
| 11072s | play six murlocs or dragons with two |
| 11075s | more tads in the shop that is extremely |
| 11078s | completable uh but so is mirror shield |
| 11080s | tad working very nicely with both of |
| 11082s | those ones i like mirror shield and |
| 11084s | murlocs in personally uh okay of course |
| 11086s | you can get those divine shield poison |
| 11088s | murlocs which are kind of the dream |
| 11091s | didn't actually see what he ended up |
| 11092s | taking there i think it was snicker |
| 11094s | snacks in the end which is okay you know |
| 11096s | it has some very obvious synergy with |
| 11098s | murlocs if you can get yourself uh |
| 11100s | gurgle or the uh the lookout as well you |
| 11103s | have some huge yeah available |
| 11106s | uh cry for help on uh the gale wing we |
| 11109s | have seen that be a little bit weak uh i |
| 11111s | will admit so far |
| 11113s | as uh stolen gold |
| 11116s | uh |
| 11117s | for alicia san is |
| 11120s | okay but having 18 friendly minions die |
| 11122s | is a really long way away when compared |
| 11125s | to like the parasol which looks a lot |
| 11126s | more completable |
| 11131s | wow we're doing well here we're seeing a |
| 11132s | lot of these thank you for this subtle |
| 11134s | start |
| 11135s | starve with khadgar and the the rap |
| 11138s | you've got it you just have to you're |
| 11140s | going to complete it in two or three |
| 11141s | turns |
| 11142s | oh let's go baby gonna see your stuff |
| 11147s | that's so sick |
| 11148s | yeah that's cool |
| 11154s | i mean yeah i think real more realistic |
| 11156s | three or four but maybe you're right |
| 11158s | honestly this rat pack could really pop |
| 11160s | off |
| 11161s | yeah it's probably going to be several |
| 11163s | turns to be fair but |
| 11166s | going to be so good |
| 11167s | um it carries you so far when it when it |
| 11170s | completes |
| 11172s | all right so what are we looking at uh |
| 11174s | xqn was the player on uh staff right |
| 11177s | that we saw |
| 11182s | uh |
| 11185s | with uh |
| 11188s | uh evil twin sorry available he has to |
| 11190s | buy nine minions in order to activate |
| 11192s | that and he is on murloc homes okay not |
| 11194s | necessarily obvious synergy but uh has |
| 11196s | proven to be a very powerful quest |
| 11198s | reward so far |
| 11200s | uh alex jp on the murlocs though just |
| 11201s | kind of popping off here uh and looking |
| 11203s | to get the uh snickers snack on |
| 11206s | uh the next turn maybe two turns time as |
| 11209s | well looking to be a real mid-game bully |
| 11211s | uh i think at the moment |
| 11212s | the xqn's got 50 friendly minions need |
| 11216s | to die here for 30. oh really |
| 11219s | um that's going to take a while but |
| 11222s | staff's stuff |
| 11224s | i mean that's like |
| 11226s | devon turns or something right |
| 11230s | that's gonna take forever |
| 11232s | just can't get the stuff these days |
| 11234s | don't |
| 11236s | already har horror |
| 11238s | i think it's been coming for a while |
| 11241s | um |
| 11245s | what is he going to do |
| 11248s | so this is this is the xqm board where i |
| 11249s | watch him play and think well this guy's |
| 11251s | just rubbish what's all this stuff doing |
| 11253s | and in two turns time it'll just be not |
| 11256s | that anymore it'll just be something |
| 11257s | fine yeah it's weak but it's diverse he |
| 11260s | has many options that he could uh |
| 11262s | explore here uh freitaris has played six |
| 11266s | murlocs or pirates and then uh alter ego |
| 11270s | yeah so |
| 11271s | even or odd minions uh in bob's tavern |
| 11273s | plus six plus six which you know with no |
| 11276s | real direction right now uh is a decent |
| 11279s | way to just ramp up that tempo in the |
| 11281s | next few turns once it is completed |
| 11287s | has the um |
| 11288s | stealth quest available for only 10 |
| 11291s | friendly millions guys so that's |
| 11292s | potential beast candidate right there |
| 11296s | um very easy to complete which means |
| 11298s | that they'll be able to level up a bit |
| 11300s | more quickly to look for those those |
| 11302s | quality beats if that's the way they |
| 11303s | want to go there's plenty of other ways |
| 11305s | to go with it i just talk about beasts |
| 11306s | because |
| 11307s | they happen to live on five a lot of the |
| 11309s | strong beasts and that's where you're |
| 11310s | looking for your baron if you have that |
| 11312s | quest |
| 11313s | so |
| 11314s | yeah that's a relevant thing to worry |
| 11315s | about |
| 11316s | all right snicker stacks online overseer |
| 11319s | passed up but my goodness some of these |
| 11321s | battle cries are juicy oh my you can |
| 11325s | make it so the only two battle cries on |
| 11327s | board are |
| 11330s | dwolfins right |
| 11332s | if you sell the |
| 11335s | rockpool which you're very happy to do |
| 11337s | and you need to sell the |
| 11339s | the 4-3 as well here |
| 11348s | yeah jp like |
| 11350s | uh mega scaling uh at this point or alex |
| 11353s | i suppose i should say it's the more |
| 11354s | relevant part of his name uh but very |
| 11356s | much in a dominant position right now uh |
| 11359s | with yoon chang in an interesting |
| 11361s | position of his own right he needs to |
| 11364s | clear up one more space oh no he's not |
| 11367s | gonna get the triple anyway yeah he |
| 11369s | needs to buy nine minions total summon a |
| 11372s | copy of your highest health minion so he |
| 11375s | gets another evil twin an evil twin with |
| 11377s | this board no but evil twin with what |
| 11379s | this board is going to be in two or |
| 11380s | three turns potentially with a big hydra |
| 11382s | or something oh yes yes please yeah |
| 11384s | that's true a big hydra |
| 11388s | a uh |
| 11390s | you know maybe baby crush one of these |
| 11392s | more powerful minions you're really |
| 11393s | looking at popping off then |
| 11394s | easily continuing the |
| 11397s | the the long drawn out quest to get |
| 11399s | towards the staff um |
| 11402s | getting set up as well notice the tower |
| 11404s | goes there for when you get the staff um |
| 11406s | absolutely ridiculous |
| 11412s | he's slowly getting there these are all |
| 11414s | good hits so far he's getting value out |
| 11415s | of the uh the beast uh |
| 11418s | uh sorry the bird buddy and the |
| 11422s | chadgar as well |
| 11424s | yeah |
| 11425s | and not dying as well so |
| 11427s | two-thirds of the way pretty much |
| 11428s | towards doing that quest |
| 11430s | i think that was a win for xqn as well |
| 11433s | which means that we are still |
| 11436s | uh reaching that point of being kind of |
| 11438s | close excellent i think did he just |
| 11440s | complete his quest on that turn i think |
| 11443s | we saw the little pop-up there which was |
| 11444s | staff of origination i believe let's |
| 11446s | have a look no not done yet oh okay |
| 11449s | sorry my mistake |
| 11451s | it's 50 fairly minions to die and just |
| 11454s | oh hang on look at this hand though not |
| 11456s | the board but the hand |
| 11458s | aha those friendly minions are gonna |
| 11461s | start dying |
| 11463s | true |
| 11464s | he needs to complete stuff right now |
| 11467s | not right now he's not going to complete |
| 11468s | it right now but you know as soon as |
| 11469s | possible or he's in trouble |
| 11472s | those peggies are so tempting |
| 11473s | everything's so tempting but |
| 11476s | this isn't a board he needs to do some |
| 11477s | some work to stay alive |
| 11479s | how are we upgrading it is it just the |
| 11481s | obvious i don't know like sell the the |
| 11484s | cat the the mark uh the |
| 11487s | um |
| 11490s | i mean yes spawn as well yeah play your |
| 11492s | three minions right the bigger question |
| 11494s | is are we taking one peggy and then |
| 11496s | freezing again to try and hit the triple |
| 11498s | peggy |
| 11501s | or |
| 11503s | i guess yeah |
| 11505s | i think the matron matron juggler is is |
| 11507s | pretty much set in stone gonna take the |
| 11509s | arm as well yeah okay sure |
| 11511s | sure yeah i mean i was kind of wondering |
| 11513s | if you just like specifically roll for |
| 11514s | another matron to hit the triple but i |
| 11516s | guess the triple isn't even that good |
| 11518s | necessarily right now because you'd like |
| 11519s | both matrons online ready to go |
| 11524s | this makes sense to me |
| 11526s | bloating of gold yeah did get something |
| 11529s | out of the shop so |
| 11532s | do you know |
| 11534s | against |
| 11536s | very nice |
| 11537s | a very clutch bird buddy should be |
| 11539s | enough to not take much damage |
| 11543s | you're only 18 out of 50. it's a long |
| 11545s | long way to go |
| 11548s | it's pretty close they really want to |
| 11549s | kill this mama bear before the hyenas |
| 11552s | are spawned be a big difference and he |
| 11554s | is going to be able to pull that off |
| 11556s | with a nice hit there |
| 11557s | okay |
| 11558s | decent hits all around but not enough to |
| 11560s | take the win which means that falling |
| 11562s | into the danger zone |
| 11564s | is xqn could be in for an eighth place |
| 11568s | in the first lobby here unless he turns |
| 11570s | things around right now this is the turn |
| 11574s | it does take the triple peg i i i'm a |
| 11576s | big xq end fan as i've made very obvious |
| 11578s | but i would be surprised if he completes |
| 11580s | this quest before he dies |
| 11583s | this triple might be able to get him |
| 11584s | another turn or two he i might be wrong |
| 11586s | but i think he's going to struggle to |
| 11588s | get this done |
| 11589s | it's just pretty weak |
| 11591s | divine shields versus bizarre not |
| 11594s | likely to be especially oh sorry the |
| 11596s | tunnel was not likely to be especially |
| 11598s | useful |
| 11599s | against a bunch of murlocs |
| 11602s | i better gonna help in any way to |
| 11604s | survive because this is survival now |
| 11606s | like this is quest out the window try |
| 11608s | not to die |
| 11609s | yeah i mean you pick the mama there |
| 11610s | because it's immediate temper maybe you |
| 11612s | can make it work with |
| 11614s | somehow |
| 11616s | i don't know hitting hydra or tripling |
| 11618s | into a |
| 11621s | yeah that |
| 11622s | yeah tripling into baby crush or |
| 11625s | crocolisk something like that hyena is |
| 11627s | something as well |
| 11629s | yeah this also allows him to still have |
| 11631s | the dream of completing a quest one day |
| 11635s | but i mean this is going to be torture |
| 11637s | for xqn like some of the cards he's gone |
| 11639s | through already we've seen |
| 11642s | would have been ideal if he had a bit |
| 11643s | more time but yeah just going for |
| 11646s | anything with numbers written on it it's |
| 11648s | a decent board you know for for turn |
| 11650s | eight that is potentially winning uh for |
| 11653s | sure |
| 11655s | uh east leaf |
| 11657s | finally got rid of the khadgar because |
| 11659s | he has completed the staff double |
| 11661s | taragoza derek oh my this stuff this is |
| 11664s | sick this is so huge man |
| 11667s | look at this board it's done that is |
| 11669s | enormous |
| 11672s | so you were asking earlier about you |
| 11674s | know um do people go to six now and i'll |
| 11676s | say well it's hard to get to six because |
| 11679s | right |
| 11680s | this is when you get to six this is |
| 11681s | where you just go okay my board looks |
| 11683s | after itself for two turns i'm off |
| 11685s | in a bit |
| 11687s | yeah i mean the question i guess was |
| 11688s | more like what do you do once you're at |
| 11690s | six what are you looking for that makes |
| 11692s | it worth leveling as opposed to just |
| 11693s | trying to find like triple taragosa but |
| 11695s | i guess here just like anything anything |
| 11697s | strong just stuff |
| 11699s | yeah |
| 11701s | like execute the engine to get you there |
| 11703s | you'll have a look around when you get |
| 11704s | there might stay at five cause a piece |
| 11706s | but yeah oh my god |
| 11710s | i think that might be it what tavern |
| 11712s | series is putting on five i think that's |
| 11714s | the one he loses to no |
| 11716s | oh |
| 11717s | the one health left on that one murloc |
| 11721s | meaning the xqn goes out in eighth in |
| 11724s | our first lobby disaster |
| 11726s | yeah absolute disaster for xqn but still |
| 11730s | has a chance to get back obviously with |
| 11732s | his consistency but you know i hyped him |
| 11733s | up and he he bit off a lot there with |
| 11735s | that stuff and it was a bit too much |
| 11739s | yeah just unable to stabilize coming so |
| 11741s | close as we're getting a good look at |
| 11744s | our first beast lobby right like you |
| 11745s | talked about it uh at the start and |
| 11747s | we're getting plenty of beasts either |
| 11749s | all in or kind of halfway |
| 11751s | bird buddy making it way into like three |
| 11753s | of our comps right now mama bear doing a |
| 11756s | good job as well |
| 11759s | and this is the um the right hand minion |
| 11761s | stealth quest |
| 11763s | sorry for not knowing all the names |
| 11765s | instinctively i have to look them up |
| 11766s | from time to time even though i sort of |
| 11767s | know them parasol |
| 11770s | yeah which is weird because it's the one |
| 11771s | i've taken the most personally so how i |
| 11773s | don't know it's a power so i don't know |
| 11781s | nice |
| 11782s | uh |
| 11783s | how do you mean |
| 11785s | well |
| 11786s | you sort of want to have a board of new |
| 11788s | stuff being built but sure this tip is |
| 11791s | just not going anywhere for the time |
| 11792s | being |
| 11794s | all right so that is evil twin which |
| 11796s | means we have a split |
| 11798s | right on uh |
| 11800s | which one you're going to be getting |
| 11802s | yeah all of them are fine though |
| 11803s | honestly like probably rather the |
| 11805s | crocolisk the the most uh for scaling |
| 11807s | but just having more death rattles that |
| 11809s | summon minions uh it's pretty good |
| 11811s | without a bear with bird buddy and it'll |
| 11813s | be buffed i believe as well |
| 11815s | like coming out |
| 11817s | think they work with evil twin |
| 11820s | yeah that would make sense it is |
| 11822s | summoned a huge crooked list would be |
| 11825s | tasty |
| 11829s | oh man that stuff though that is tough |
| 11831s | to overcome right |
| 11833s | yeah it's just silly |
| 11836s | you see the difference though right um |
| 11837s | xqn coming eight picking staff because |
| 11840s | couldn't get the |
| 11842s | quest done |
| 11843s | yeah and on the other side of it we're |
| 11844s | just watching easily absolutely |
| 11847s | terrorize this lobby |
| 11849s | i mean what was the difference it was |
| 11851s | have 50 minions die or summon 35 minions |
| 11854s | like |
| 11855s | i think it's pretty clear that eastleaf |
| 11857s | got the easier one right because they |
| 11859s | are both synergized with death rattle |
| 11861s | minions or reborn minions and he sleeps |
| 11864s | just a significantly lower number to be |
| 11866s | able to hit and you can of course just |
| 11868s | spell through a bunch of minions at the |
| 11869s | same time |
| 11870s | as you do see penguin sand falling by |
| 11872s | the wayside as well in seventh place |
| 11875s | uh the slightly unusual strat i believe |
| 11877s | of going for not three on three uh with |
| 11880s | the gale wing uh didn't work out in this |
| 11883s | instance it's weird to me as well but |
| 11885s | i've seen it somewhere else as well so |
| 11887s | thing to keep an eye on |
| 11888s | also picking gail wing over what was it |
| 11891s | danathis and milhouse i think in their |
| 11893s | opening choices |
| 11896s | um |
| 11897s | i understand not picking to nothing is |
| 11898s | to some extent because you're scared of |
| 11900s | the bad one even though i do agree that |
| 11902s | he's a good hero |
| 11904s | but milhouse to me is just so good right |
| 11907s | now i'll be just to see just what other |
| 11908s | people do with gale wing as the weekend |
| 11911s | progresses |
| 11912s | right so how is alicia stan scaling |
| 11915s | right now |
| 11917s | uh currently no real |
| 11920s | ability to do so the |
| 11923s | leaper synergy is limited at best |
| 11927s | and uh really he's just been lying on |
| 11929s | the power of overseer i think to see him |
| 11931s | through this mid game whereas now the |
| 11933s | plan becomes decidedly more foggy as to |
| 11935s | how he's supposed to move forward yeah |
| 11937s | you look at this board the first thing |
| 11938s | you see well the first thing chat will |
| 11940s | see is the massive golden leaper on the |
| 11942s | left hand side obviously but the first |
| 11944s | thing i see is the overseer and think |
| 11945s | fell back |
| 11947s | i really want to get a fell back because |
| 11949s | of these huge things or quest that works |
| 11951s | and hasn't got that quest |
| 11954s | so |
| 11955s | it's all a bit muddy like you've |
| 11957s | described and not quite sure where this |
| 11959s | goes from here |
| 11962s | all right i mean i kind of uh interested |
| 11964s | in taking a look at alex i want to see |
| 11966s | how that uh early game |
| 11969s | murloc dependency transitioned into a |
| 11971s | mid-game plan uh because you know it |
| 11974s | could have gone a few different ways you |
| 11975s | didn't have to necessarily go all in on |
| 11977s | the uh the murlocs but for the most part |
| 11980s | it looks like he has done so with some |
| 11982s | real big stats online still getting |
| 11984s | great use out of the snickers snacks |
| 11988s | it looks like um |
| 11989s | yeah an attempt to the triple went wrong |
| 11992s | and it not went wrong but it's like sure |
| 11994s | snake always second place |
| 11997s | it's absolutely fine to live on your |
| 11999s | porch for a while |
| 12002s | the challenge which is going to be |
| 12003s | accepted and |
| 12005s | work from alex most likely is to make |
| 12007s | sure that your murlocs have enough |
| 12009s | health to |
| 12011s | survive the big divine shields and |
| 12014s | honestly giving a decent fight to |
| 12017s | eastleigh means you're in a good spot |
| 12018s | here even if you lose this fight |
| 12021s | because you've fought easily eastleaf is |
| 12023s | going to kill everybody else for you |
| 12025s | while you just build your board back up |
| 12026s | for something |
| 12032s | yeah there we go ends up on the tie very |
| 12034s | nice both players happily walking away |
| 12036s | from that one freitaris in the end of |
| 12038s | another play that we didn't really get |
| 12039s | too much of a look at uh taking the |
| 12041s | elder i think he was on some kind of |
| 12043s | like a beast uh comp it looked like |
| 12046s | there |
| 12047s | um |
| 12048s | on scabs |
| 12049s | but clearly unable to hit that pop off |
| 12051s | as yeah he had like a golden comp that |
| 12053s | clearly just wasn't working |
| 12060s | uh have a look what's happening with |
| 12062s | alicia sand |
| 12064s | it's just |
| 12065s | yeah |
| 12067s | i said yeah it's just sort of |
| 12069s | a bit of everything going on so level |
| 12071s | because i don't know what to do doesn't |
| 12073s | mean i feel about it that might not be |
| 12075s | their opinion at all but that was how i |
| 12077s | would make that play |
| 12079s | just lacking direction right now |
| 12082s | uh with a very clear direction here is |
| 12084s | taurus and he's been kind of quietly and |
| 12087s | unassumingly uh crawling his way up the |
| 12090s | leaderboard obviously currently the |
| 12091s | lowest on health and very much in the |
| 12093s | danger zone against east leaf with that |
| 12095s | staff of origination plus all the stats |
| 12098s | from the tarragosas |
| 12100s | but |
| 12102s | definitely still with the potential to |
| 12104s | turn this around i wanna say he's gonna |
| 12106s | be losing this one just because he |
| 12108s | doesn't have that much repeated effect |
| 12110s | with the mama bears right |
| 12113s | and interestingly he's been stealthing |
| 12114s | the mama bears not the croc |
| 12118s | um where the mama bears tend to end up |
| 12120s | getting sold in these comps eventually |
| 12122s | not in any hurry to whereas the croc |
| 12124s | probably lives here also |
| 12127s | with not much else going on just the one |
| 12129s | rat |
| 12130s | mama bears getting sniped seems less |
| 12132s | important than croc getting sniped even |
| 12133s | though it's got the |
| 12134s | the reborn on it obviously |
| 12139s | let's see if he shuffles these around |
| 12142s | uh how would you do so |
| 12145s | i just put the clock last but now he's |
| 12146s | got a lot more generation i understand |
| 12149s | the mama play a lot better this time |
| 12150s | around |
| 12153s | all right let's see how terrible this |
| 12155s | has gone two massive divine shields it's |
| 12158s | scary but it's not overwhelming uh for |
| 12162s | east leaf like it's the kind of probably |
| 12164s | still winning this fight |
| 12165s | uh but for the late game uh it's not |
| 12168s | necessarily an overwhelming insta win |
| 12170s | the game uh kind of right yeah so what |
| 12173s | eastleaf has done is um is what we |
| 12175s | talked about which is nice to see him as |
| 12177s | we talk about the right things um use |
| 12179s | the advantage from getting the staff in |
| 12181s | time to go to six and now the game |
| 12184s | changes the staff about now other than |
| 12186s | buffing the tower goes and starts to |
| 12188s | lose a bit of its potency yeah um |
| 12191s | because 15 15 on your toe goes every |
| 12192s | time yeah it's nice like some of that |
| 12195s | but there will be people scaling faster |
| 12197s | than you do you know and doing nastier |
| 12199s | things so now |
| 12200s | you've really got to be using the fact |
| 12202s | that you're on six to build a new cop |
| 12205s | that |
| 12206s | takes you to the final victory this has |
| 12208s | got you to top two or top three |
| 12211s | but this isn't oh no okay it is over |
| 12213s | very close though uh taurus actually |
| 12215s | coming a lot closer than i thought he |
| 12216s | would uh to being able to take that one |
| 12218s | down still staying in it for now as i |
| 12220s | believe |
| 12222s | nobody died on that term uh |
| 12224s | clinging on in there nobody died but |
| 12226s | soto's informing you is that um young |
| 12228s | chang lost to the ghost in that fight |
| 12231s | damage well done |
| 12235s | it's pretty impressive because those |
| 12236s | ghosts have been around for a while |
| 12240s | oh my god the bran now as well this |
| 12242s | swolf it's gonna get so small |
| 12249s | uh i could just hit see and hear how |
| 12251s | happy you are about that derek honestly |
| 12253s | it's so big |
| 12256s | look at him |
| 12258s | i respect the gains man i respect the |
| 12260s | hustle |
| 12262s | that's the most direct conversation ever |
| 12266s | taken much damage this whole game either |
| 12268s | remember that he used the hero power two |
| 12269s | or three times early on |
| 12273s | yeah true true |
| 12275s | he has been winning almost all his |
| 12276s | fights and yeah i mean you can kind of |
| 12279s | wonder why yeah |
| 12281s | uh so how many battle cries do we got |
| 12282s | here this is still just two right with |
| 12285s | the sulfin and the |
| 12287s | uh |
| 12289s | cold light hold light as well |
| 12292s | and you would rather activate the cold |
| 12294s | light than the |
| 12297s | dolphin yeah probably swell finn's like |
| 12300s | big enough here right |
| 12302s | or obviously obviously not big enough |
| 12304s | you'd like it to be bigger but the the |
| 12305s | plus health and everything else is |
| 12306s | probably more important |
| 12334s | which is kind of surprising because this |
| 12336s | bird buddy is |
| 12340s | it's big yeah |
| 12342s | but uh |
| 12344s | far from overwhelming like one big |
| 12346s | minion that you have to smack into like |
| 12348s | it's just gonna easily go to the small |
| 12349s | fit on this turn yes it is look at the |
| 12352s | state of it |
| 12354s | damn right it is |
| 12356s | okay how much do we got here is it |
| 12358s | tavern tier |
| 12360s | five plus six so not dead is yun chang |
| 12370s | coming sort of middle of the pack |
| 12373s | yeah this is center fifth place thank |
| 12375s | you |
| 12377s | right so it's time for east leaf to |
| 12378s | actually do something now |
| 12380s | yeah exactly easy ride up to now |
| 12384s | and how does that |
| 12385s | work |
| 12386s | because obviously do you just kind of |
| 12388s | ignore the fact that you have plus 15 |
| 12390s | plus 15 on the rest of your board like |
| 12392s | obviously the hydra is bearing that in |
| 12393s | mind but the other things you're looking |
| 12395s | for again we keep talking about it just |
| 12397s | poisons leroy uh or are there some other |
| 12401s | interesting tricks that you can make |
| 12403s | happen with the rest of this board or |
| 12404s | with the quest i mean yeah you've bought |
| 12407s | yourself time to do what you like to |
| 12408s | some extent and i'm sure there's a lot |
| 12410s | of tricks with the quest some of which i |
| 12411s | won't understand |
| 12413s | just yet but now you've got far enough |
| 12414s | you can start responding to what your |
| 12416s | opponents are doing and go down the old |
| 12418s | you know |
| 12419s | leroy and poison root to finish off |
| 12422s | who's left |
| 12423s | but i'm sure there's plenty of other |
| 12425s | weird things also stuff to watch out for |
| 12427s | as well |
| 12428s | like |
| 12429s | it's harder for to trigger your seven |
| 12431s | for right it's harder than adina to |
| 12432s | actually get triggered because he's got |
| 12433s | plus 15 plus 15 it might not die |
| 12437s | with the tox spin you can obviously get |
| 12439s | yourself toxin |
| 12441s | amalgam and with the amber guardian you |
| 12443s | can also give it divine shield at the |
| 12444s | start of combat but then you start |
| 12446s | running out of board spaces what are you |
| 12448s | making |
| 12450s | room for here what do you end on |
| 12453s | um |
| 12455s | i guess mounted queen instead of the |
| 12456s | selfless yeah uh if you |
| 12459s | the only probably playing the mantis |
| 12460s | queen is you could have a plan for next |
| 12463s | turn but you can get a bit of the dragon |
| 12465s | you're fine |
| 12466s | yeah it's just about surviving right now |
| 12468s | which is far from a guarantee against |
| 12470s | alex i think eastleaf should be clocking |
| 12472s | onto the fact that alex is a pretty |
| 12474s | scary opponent at this point in the game |
| 12477s | yeah it's just this weird transition |
| 12479s | don't die this turn find out what your |
| 12480s | next opponent is |
| 12484s | get a top two top three |
| 12487s | we've got the full poisonage uh |
| 12489s | available to |
| 12492s | alex right now gorgeous hit for |
| 12494s | eastleigh though |
| 12496s | yeah if he can if he can like kill off |
| 12498s | oh no always a poison |
| 12501s | disaster outcome off the coil |
| 12505s | oh that's a good hit |
| 12508s | that's a better one |
| 12510s | oh it's not enough is it oh it's so |
| 12512s | close but he actually wins against the |
| 12515s | murlocs i did not expect that man |
| 12517s | yeah the nadine and just the shields in |
| 12519s | general the |
| 12521s | with some poison thrown in like your 200 |
| 12523s | 200 means nothing if it hits her into a |
| 12525s | shield |
| 12527s | one for one as well with something |
| 12530s | you know thousands just plodding away |
| 12532s | with these |
| 12534s | when i saw that beast earlier this isn't |
| 12535s | really the build i had in mind this is a |
| 12536s | very mediocre build it's doing fine it's |
| 12539s | doing its job but it's not a thriller |
| 12542s | and yun-chan's evil twin uh |
| 12545s | finally falling by the wayside as we end |
| 12547s | up with |
| 12549s | taragosa staff |
| 12551s | beasts |
| 12552s | and murlocs uh to round us out here it's |
| 12555s | an interesting dynamic we have in this |
| 12557s | top three there it is |
| 12559s | that's big |
| 12561s | that's big two |
| 12565s | probably hitting |
| 12567s | armor bear |
| 12569s | with reborn although it's not obvious oh |
| 12572s | room with |
| 12575s | it's tough |
| 12577s | like mama bear reborn is a lot better |
| 12578s | than i initially gave it credit for just |
| 12580s | to give you a higher chance of |
| 12581s | survivability |
| 12583s | uh especially now that you probably want |
| 12587s | baron in the stealth position maybe not |
| 12590s | though maybe you do still want me to |
| 12591s | decide you didn't want it |
| 12593s | i think |
| 12594s | which is interesting which means |
| 12596s | because obviously you're going to make |
| 12597s | room for something at some point which |
| 12598s | would have made a chance for you to use |
| 12600s | the snake for the reborn because you |
| 12602s | want this baron in play yeah i assume |
| 12610s | perhaps he's gonna wait on the baron and |
| 12611s | just go one more turn |
| 12614s | probably |
| 12615s | not |
| 12617s | helpless with baron yeah there's just |
| 12618s | not board spaces there |
| 12620s | he won the last combat |
| 12624s | nope |
| 12626s | nope |
| 12628s | again |
| 12629s | there's the uh |
| 12631s | the rattler |
| 12633s | i think what he was doing there was |
| 12635s | looking for triple highmane so he could |
| 12636s | sort of sell through and make space yeah |
| 12639s | triple mama |
| 12640s | or triple mama yeah |
| 12643s | agreed the scourge will consume you |
| 12646s | they're going with the stealth on the |
| 12647s | mama bear i do agree with that because |
| 12649s | again you have torn on the |
| 12651s | uh |
| 12653s | the dog the gold ring the first time |
| 12655s | around yeah the pup |
| 12657s | very scary pup |
| 12662s | amount of stats to be able to come |
| 12663s | through this which he does have |
| 12665s | but against hundred hundreds with divine |
| 12668s | shields that can be applied multiple |
| 12670s | times i don't think it's quite big |
| 12672s | enough |
| 12673s | i don't either but i do have a history |
| 12675s | of underrating beast cops so i'm just |
| 12678s | okay |
| 12685s | nowhere near in fact yeah without |
| 12688s | poisons |
| 12689s | oh mega over it's gonna see taurasan |
| 12691s | going down in |
| 12694s | third place a good run for him for sure |
| 12697s | uh and |
| 12698s | if alex jp can beat the |
| 12701s | ghost which i think he can uh means |
| 12703s | we're coming down to a uh scrap for |
| 12706s | first place here as i get i said once |
| 12707s | again between the murlocs and the omega |
| 12710s | tara ghosters |
| 12712s | yeah it's gonna be worth keeping an eye |
| 12713s | on thomason though because that was a |
| 12715s | very easy looking third place as in |
| 12719s | didn't have a great hero didn't have a |
| 12720s | great quest didn't have great cards |
| 12722s | particularly and just cruised into a |
| 12724s | nice third place which is exactly what |
| 12726s | you want on this saturday of lobby |
| 12727s | legends |
| 12729s | oh okay we're getting some spicy picks |
| 12731s | here gold and selfless you are happily |
| 12734s | going to gobble up now of course looking |
| 12736s | for barron |
| 12738s | uh |
| 12739s | and just the usual the usual suspects of |
| 12744s | uh leroy and mantid if you can get your |
| 12747s | hands on them |
| 12749s | yep the snakes not really that great |
| 12752s | it's nice but |
| 12753s | yeah you're gonna slot if you need it |
| 12754s | any point quite happily trade that out |
| 12757s | at some point are we interested at any |
| 12759s | point here in taking um a void lord or |
| 12762s | something to get rid of divine shields |
| 12765s | no because there's a mounted queen okay |
| 12767s | good talk |
| 12769s | yeah i like where your head's at but i |
| 12771s | think with the the ability to reapply |
| 12773s | them multiple times like yeah you know |
| 12777s | you're taking off the divine shield sure |
| 12778s | but you're not killing the uh the tara |
| 12781s | ghost is most likely |
| 12794s | he had a lot of i think about that |
| 12796s | because again i don't think he knows |
| 12797s | exactly what he's up against here either |
| 12799s | physically and so on so |
| 12801s | for justice |
| 12803s | uh reborn on the uh |
| 12807s | amalgam yeah okay oh sorry on the toilet |
| 12811s | yeah uh in order to give yourself a |
| 12813s | little bit more survivability here |
| 12816s | and then just praying for that good old |
| 12817s | divine shield |
| 12819s | on yeah you can see that he's he's going |
| 12821s | for it first if he gets the shield then |
| 12822s | he get it reshielded he just sell a |
| 12824s | poison in the middle of that valuing the |
| 12826s | buff on the snake for the |
| 12828s | the proc factors you can see he's put it |
| 12830s | very early again pointing to the fact he |
| 12832s | needs to find a way to get around these |
| 12833s | shields after they get reshielded |
| 12836s | and no one gets any divide shields on |
| 12837s | any of their mounted queens at all kind |
| 12840s | of hilariously |
| 12841s | yeah look at this though from the snake |
| 12843s | these shields are just gonna get |
| 12844s | rockaboo'd |
| 12849s | kinda terrible for jp |
| 12851s | he's a bit awkward yeah he lost his own |
| 12853s | though everything else looked kind of |
| 12854s | good |
| 12855s | we're just ending in a |
| 12858s | robbable victory for alex now right |
| 12860s | unless he gets his |
| 12862s | uh swolfin poison |
| 12865s | uh the other time |
| 12867s | unless it doesn't yeah he was losing or |
| 12869s | tying when he got to that point oh |
| 12871s | really everything was poor he's not |
| 12872s | poison |
| 12875s | uh well the tara ghost one but yeah sure |
| 12881s | okay |
| 12883s | what's the plan he's seen the board so |
| 12884s | he can work around it now |
| 12886s | yeah so he knows that getting more |
| 12890s | divine shields is a very big deal so as |
| 12892s | we said baron uh super high up the |
| 12894s | priority list |
| 12898s | he also has an extra two gold if he |
| 12900s | wants at any point because if he does if |
| 12902s | he loses he's taking five anyway |
| 12907s | but don't forget he didn't get the |
| 12909s | shield either he didn't get a |
| 12910s | particularly great |
| 12912s | pan out on the last board |
| 12914s | the hard part here is working out what |
| 12916s | east leaf is going to do to adjust to |
| 12918s | this |
| 12920s | considering the ambergardi in there in |
| 12922s | order to divine shield up the amalgam |
| 12924s | again was very tempting but eating up |
| 12926s | another board space kind of the |
| 12928s | for the most part a zero-sum game given |
| 12930s | that the gas coiler is pretty valuable |
| 12932s | in taking out some divine shields of its |
| 12934s | own ends up on the tunnel blaster though |
| 12936s | which i mean hey when you have a |
| 12939s | uh reckless apprentice sorry |
| 12941s | why did my brain tell me that selfless |
| 12944s | hero uh wrong descriptive title named |
| 12947s | card |
| 12948s | uh it works out really nicely uh with |
| 12950s | the tunnel blaster as well uh in order |
| 12952s | to destroy their divine shields reapply |
| 12953s | them to yours uh and hopefully be the |
| 12956s | difference maker yeah and then hopefully |
| 12958s | the |
| 12959s | the snake once again the gas caller |
| 12961s | takes down the remaining divine support |
| 12962s | or |
| 12963s | oh this happens and then you go yeah |
| 12966s | this is a gamble right he thinks he's |
| 12967s | behind so this is the gamble that he |
| 12968s | takes out the shields then nadina just |
| 12971s | takes him out again |
| 12973s | novel blast me dude okay i respect it |
| 12978s | uh you're talking about what does |
| 12980s | eastleigh do with this comp like after |
| 12983s | setting up the the double tower goes |
| 12984s | what he did was just find four poisons |
| 12986s | to go alongside the big toe goes and |
| 12988s | some divine shields |
| 12990s | and now we're looking at |
| 12992s | pretty much a disaster in how this shook |
| 12994s | out oh he's now |
| 12996s | ending up with poison yeah not even |
| 12998s | close for alex and in the end e sleep |
| 13000s | with such a sick game man like these |
| 13002s | tara ghost is obviously being a clear |
| 13005s | game plan right from the start as soon |
| 13006s | as he hit the staff of origination plus |
| 13008s | the targosis he was always going to be |
| 13010s | winning the mid game but the question |
| 13011s | was how would he transition into the |
| 13013s | late game and he just did it so |
| 13015s | seamlessly hitting these amalgams and |
| 13017s | then of course uh the |
| 13019s | nadine to go alongside that with the |
| 13021s | extra divine shield i was so well played |
| 13024s | yeah i like it a lot obviously |
| 13025s | transitioning is |
| 13027s | um |
| 13028s | slightly easier when your your fillers |
| 13031s | are 15 15s by default like that's your |
| 13033s | worst card your transition is easier but |
| 13035s | you have that you're quite late in the |
| 13037s | game that was sort of turning 10 turn 11 |
| 13039s | he started doing that so 15 15 isn't |
| 13042s | great at that point |
| 13044s | um but we saw the other side of it here |
| 13046s | with xqn as well you go for the staff |
| 13047s | and you don't get there look 36 out of |
| 13049s | 50 37 38 39 still a long way from |
| 13053s | completing his staff when he came eighth |
| 13055s | place |
| 13056s | and it looked that way it wasn't like he |
| 13058s | was unlucky |
| 13059s | even when he took the staff we saw his |
| 13061s | board we're like okay it's xqn so we're |
| 13063s | to think we're wrong and he's right but |
| 13065s | how is he getting this done like what's |
| 13067s | his plan to get this done it looked |
| 13068s | really difficult |
| 13070s | and so you've really got to weigh up |
| 13072s | your quests or you do end up in the |
| 13073s | dumpster |
| 13075s | and now again it's the the vicious cycle |
| 13077s | of finishing in eighth because once that |
| 13079s | happens you know you pick stuff it |
| 13081s | doesn't work out you end up in eight |
| 13083s | you're gonna have to start picking staff |
| 13085s | again these riskier hero these riskier |
| 13087s | quests sorry in order to get that first |
| 13090s | or second finish in order to win this |
| 13092s | one because xqn already even after just |
| 13094s | the first of three games is thoroughly |
| 13097s | in the danger zone uh whereas eastleaf |
| 13100s | on the other side couldn't have been a |
| 13101s | more different story first and eighth |
| 13103s | place both picking staff of origination |
| 13106s | and i think that spells it out quite |
| 13107s | perfectly it's a first or eighth kind of |
| 13110s | quest |
| 13111s | yeah absolutely um |
| 13113s | trying a little bit to not concentrate |
| 13115s | too much on the people that we already |
| 13116s | know but that's how this works i'm |
| 13118s | afraid i think people annoyed we're not |
| 13119s | talking about penguin samwell we just |
| 13121s | don't know enough about him to really |
| 13123s | talk a lot at this point but the more we |
| 13125s | play lobby legends the more we'll learn |
| 13126s | about these players and have more to say |
| 13128s | um and the reason i give that little |
| 13130s | speech is because i thought alex who we |
| 13131s | know and love for both formats i thought |
| 13134s | played in a very very comfortable manner |
| 13135s | there and play i don't know much about |
| 13138s | torres sand i thought was superb in that |
| 13141s | seamless looking third place like just |
| 13145s | just looked mediocre in a good way |
| 13147s | throughout as in yeah nothing bad's |
| 13148s | happening to me i'm just gonna get third |
| 13150s | and go home |
| 13151s | yeah it was a very respectable game plan |
| 13154s | right you start off the early game with |
| 13156s | a nice quick quest completion and of |
| 13158s | course um making use of the |
| 13161s | grey bow hero power in order to survive |
| 13164s | with all the b synergy and then that |
| 13165s | just lends himself very cleanly into |
| 13167s | going for a full on b strap which he did |
| 13168s | end up on in the end almost enough to |
| 13170s | see him through but ending up in third |
| 13172s | place with alex jp in second and east |
| 13176s | leaf taking it all down in first place |
| 13180s | uh a very interesting game and again |
| 13182s | we're just seeing different comps win |
| 13185s | every single time i love to see it |
| 13187s | that was literally just taragoza divine |
| 13190s | shield poison i mean what do you do |
| 13193s | yeah just some words right it's great |
| 13197s | i'll happily take that |
| 13199s | like big divine shield whether that big |
| 13201s | is poison or whether that big is 700 |
| 13204s | attack |
| 13205s | is obviously still the best thing you |
| 13207s | can do in this game it's just a lot |
| 13208s | harder to set up divine shield poison |
| 13210s | now |
| 13211s | but the synergy with medina buffing up |
| 13213s | your amalgam but also buffing up your |
| 13215s | two tower goes which means you can |
| 13217s | poison your amalgam which gives you only |
| 13219s | three spots to mess around it's just |
| 13221s | nice how comps come together now you |
| 13222s | really have to |
| 13224s | there's no set pattern a lot of the time |
| 13226s | you just think on your feet and get |
| 13228s | cards that work i like it |
| 13230s | right you are so we are going to go now |
| 13232s | to a quick break and when we come back |
| 13234s | the uh the fifth |
| 13237s | of our six games that we are playing |
| 13238s | today and of course the uh the second |
| 13240s | game for group b so stick around to see |
| 13243s | if uh we can con see the continued |
| 13246s | dominance |
| 13247s | of east leaf or whether xqn can turn |
| 13250s | things around from an eighth place and |
| 13251s | pull his way back in to a chance at |
| 13253s | getting through to tomorrow we'll see if |
| 13255s | all of that comes to fruition after this |
| 13257s | break |
| 13267s | do |
| 13294s | so |
| 13307s | so |
| 13389s | so |
| 13419s | do |
| 13434s | do |
| 13457s | you're watching a lobby legends magic of |
| 13459s | azeroth and the magic that we have seen |
| 13462s | thus far has been a wildly diverse |
| 13465s | metagame in terms of what is winning |
| 13467s | each lobby which is uh such a nice |
| 13471s | breath of fresh air because the last |
| 13472s | time i was casting battlegrounds was at |
| 13475s | uh twitchcon where the |
| 13478s | every other |
| 13480s | finishing place that you were going for |
| 13481s | like first through eighth there were |
| 13482s | many different comps that you would be |
| 13484s | seeing but the first place was usually |
| 13485s | just green spot it would be whoever got |
| 13487s | the grease bop pop-off would be winning |
| 13488s | that one but now it's difficult to |
| 13490s | predict what you're supposed to go for |
| 13491s | in the mid game and the late game as |
| 13493s | well it's just been as i said four |
| 13495s | different lobbies four different winning |
| 13496s | comps which you love to see yeah |
| 13498s | something i've always enjoyed about |
| 13500s | battlegrounds and still do is not the |
| 13502s | diversity of a single meta but the |
| 13503s | diversity of all of the metas like i |
| 13506s | quite like the |
| 13507s | oh you just got to pick every naga and |
| 13509s | play them as efficiently as possible |
| 13511s | kind of matters but also i like this |
| 13512s | sort of meta where hey this is just |
| 13515s | different stuff all the time and i like |
| 13517s | the way that every new battlegrounds |
| 13518s | meta |
| 13520s | changes |
| 13521s | it's not always fine different stuff |
| 13523s | it's not always pick a green spot and |
| 13524s | win it's not always something each met |
| 13526s | is different and i'm pretty sure i might |
| 13528s | be wrong i'm pretty sure this will be a |
| 13530s | popular one amongst most people because |
| 13531s | most people like |
| 13533s | the diversity style methods not the pick |
| 13536s | the one card and go for the nuts kind of |
| 13538s | matters |
| 13539s | so it's good to have this one come |
| 13540s | around and yeah it's just been great fun |
| 13542s | and i feel watching the players like |
| 13545s | nobody is really really comfortable with |
| 13548s | everything that's going on yet there's |
| 13549s | people playing well but i don't get the |
| 13550s | feeling that everyone knows exactly what |
| 13552s | they're doing yet |
| 13555s | yeah exactly people are kind of having |
| 13556s | to make it up as they go along which as |
| 13557s | you said does favor the sort of players |
| 13559s | generally like xqn who are able to |
| 13562s | see the uh you know see through the |
| 13564s | matrix figure out what the different |
| 13566s | strands of synergies that could be |
| 13567s | working together are |
| 13569s | some of the players who are very good at |
| 13570s | just uh tunneling in on what the best |
| 13572s | thing isn't doing that every game might |
| 13574s | struggle a little bit more penguins and |
| 13577s | here looking for a much better game than |
| 13578s | we saw last time in seventh place and |
| 13580s | he's offered |
| 13582s | shadow walk but with no beasts |
| 13584s | probably there are the other things |
| 13586s | everything else i think it's too slow |
| 13588s | but i know soto will be excited to see |
| 13589s | each other up play |
| 13591s | we're gonna get the opposite end of the |
| 13592s | spectrum this is um |
| 13595s | this is the other |
| 13597s | i think oh yeah shuttlework doesn't have |
| 13598s | beasts anymore of course thank you |
| 13600s | um the other end of the spectrum you get |
| 13602s | the curator you have some early tempo |
| 13604s | and you have that 10 armor which means |
| 13606s | your quests are really really easy it |
| 13609s | doesn't just means they're a bit easier |
| 13610s | but there's noticeably easier |
| 13614s | keeping an eye on what penguin gets for |
| 13616s | the quest will be |
| 13618s | very exciting on turn four |
| 13622s | it's queueing on donathius it's the most |
| 13623s | executing hero ever printed |
| 13628s | all right smoking gun definitely one of |
| 13629s | my favorites but they have made it a |
| 13630s | little bit harder to activate in the |
| 13632s | most recent patch murlocs or nagas to |
| 13635s | activate though there's a murloc in the |
| 13637s | shop right away i'm right on board with |
| 13638s | xqm this is very completable in like |
| 13641s | three turns a lot of the time |
| 13643s | yeah and i think that's what i i |
| 13645s | personally like when i sort of talk |
| 13647s | about donathious in a slightly weird way |
| 13649s | i think the first quest is it has to be |
| 13651s | equivalent to your hero power you've got |
| 13653s | to get it done |
| 13654s | you just got to pick an easy quest get |
| 13655s | something going on it doesn't have to be |
| 13657s | amazing |
| 13658s | and i really like this i think he's |
| 13660s | going to get him to the second quest |
| 13661s | very very safely and he's going to be in |
| 13663s | a great spot |
| 13679s | coin buy |
| 13681s | and quest completion the turn after |
| 13682s | that's fantastic a lot of tempo for xqn |
| 13685s | here right out the gate which is exactly |
| 13687s | what you want on your first quest with |
| 13689s | danathrius |
| 13691s | yeah just imagine being executed you |
| 13693s | wake up in the morning you realize |
| 13694s | you're executing you do some quests |
| 13695s | sometimes it goes wrong but you don't |
| 13697s | care because you're still executing and |
| 13698s | off you go |
| 13702s | you're saying this about the man who |
| 13703s | just finished eighth well that's what i |
| 13705s | mean you're executing you don't care you |
| 13706s | finished eight |
| 13708s | it's actually better for you to finish |
| 13710s | eight yeah just means you've got to put |
| 13711s | your feet up for a while while you're |
| 13712s | waking up |
| 13715s | you're still executing at the end of the |
| 13716s | eighth |
| 13717s | that's the difference if i come eight |
| 13719s | for if i just steal lavinda which is |
| 13720s | still a problem but if you're executing |
| 13722s | you come out |
| 13723s | it's still xqa |
| 13726s | all right getting closer to that quest |
| 13728s | completion turn |
| 13730s | uh but around the uh |
| 13732s | the rest i wonder if we're gonna see any |
| 13734s | three on three is like you know you used |
| 13736s | to maybe see that with reno to try and |
| 13738s | hit the uh the power spike turns a lot |
| 13739s | sooner uh but not so here with tog |
| 13742s | waggle obviously yes is the only curve |
| 13744s | you have available gale wing following |
| 13746s | the expected curve uh of three on three |
| 13749s | but then curator three on three is kind |
| 13751s | of surprising as well |
| 13754s | yeah penguin obviously seeing the meta |
| 13756s | kind of the way that i saw it at the |
| 13757s | start and a lot of people don't see it |
| 13759s | which is three on three there's so much |
| 13761s | good stuff on three |
| 13762s | um that you can just go for it see where |
| 13765s | you end up um |
| 13768s | i like it more when demons are in |
| 13770s | because uh overseer is on three which is |
| 13772s | just ridiculous if you get that on turn |
| 13775s | five gold right you just buy an overseer |
| 13776s | the shop's huge you've got three drops |
| 13778s | everything just goes crazy |
| 13780s | but with gale wing three on three just |
| 13782s | makes sense |
| 13786s | also another one which obviously makes |
| 13788s | more sense of course |
| 13790s | that's what you do holding on to the |
| 13793s | other minion i believe there is xqn in |
| 13794s | order to try and |
| 13796s | uh get a maximum double quest completion |
| 13799s | turn at the same time if possible for |
| 13801s | tog waggle we are looking at |
| 13804s | for naga or murlocs there's three i've |
| 13806s | seen three of the cards in the shop and |
| 13807s | they're all naga's or murlocs i don't |
| 13809s | know what the second card in the shop is |
| 13811s | that sounds good |
| 13812s | let's do that |
| 13815s | is there any reason to be more greedy |
| 13817s | than that he got third place playing |
| 13818s | sort of the safe option last time i just |
| 13821s | want to do this yeah they're they're all |
| 13822s | oh my god they're all |
| 13824s | no way |
| 13826s | well that's not a quest |
| 13828s | it's like huh today we're going on a |
| 13829s | quest derek we're going to go to |
| 13832s | the living |
| 13833s | room damn the smoking gun torres down |
| 13836s | out here like clint eastwood on this one |
| 13838s | that's the quickest draw i've ever seen |
| 13840s | unbelievable ah |
| 13842s | no one's gonna be drawing with this for |
| 13844s | a few turns though |
| 13847s | state of it |
| 13853s | that is for a couple of days so this is |
| 13855s | even easier than that |
| 13862s | what |
| 13864s | oh xqm's picked up um bribe |
| 13868s | the 20 cards one |
| 13871s | okay |
| 13872s | excuse got the time to get there what's |
| 13874s | this one going |
| 13875s | yeah let's have a run through all the |
| 13877s | ones that we've seen so far |
| 13882s | uh we have alex jp on play four battle |
| 13884s | crime minions and get the uh |
| 13888s | spirit uh of spectre sorry victim |
| 13890s | spectre |
| 13895s | i still can't believe that quest was |
| 13896s | just completed on turn four yeah it's so |
| 13899s | sick |
| 13900s | i mean it's not so it's not an automatic |
| 13903s | lobby window because it is kind of one |
| 13905s | of the weaker quests it's great he's |
| 13907s | gonna get a lot of tempo but now he's |
| 13909s | got to |
| 13910s | use that tempo to advantage of course |
| 13912s | okay so parasol for penguin sam for |
| 13915s | yeonchang uh can't quite see yet and |
| 13918s | it's not in the uh |
| 13920s | the spreadsheet but overall a decent |
| 13922s | start uh for yen changing now just needs |
| 13924s | to start focusing on leveling because he |
| 13926s | really wants to find something to uh to |
| 13928s | point this hero power out right with no |
| 13930s | triples in sight right now |
| 13933s | uh it's time to start power leveling i |
| 13935s | think okay another parasol gamer with |
| 13937s | add 10 cards to your hand |
| 13941s | oh alex |
| 13942s | ap with jug |
| 13945s | that's not amazing |
| 13946s | get a plain copy of the last friendly |
| 13948s | million that died it could become |
| 13949s | amazing |
| 13951s | that's completes the questions jugs |
| 13953s | going off every turn yeah play four |
| 13956s | battle cry minions in order to do it so |
| 13958s | is that |
| 13959s | next turn he's going to be doing that |
| 13961s | okay two more |
| 13966s | not ideal and he's in a bit of a spot |
| 13968s | isn't he's looking very weak but vol'jin |
| 13971s | with quillboards in has an opportunity |
| 13973s | to do all sorts of stuff with ground |
| 13974s | shakers later on if that comes around |
| 13977s | yeah we'll happily take that |
| 13982s | all right everyone making it to tavern |
| 13983s | tier 3 now with east leaf joining us |
| 13987s | on tier three as well |
| 13989s | a rough next opponent for alex to be |
| 13990s | facing as well you never want to face |
| 13992s | tog waggle the turn or two after they've |
| 13994s | pressed their button for the first time |
| 13999s | oh especially not one like this that is |
| 14001s | a very nice follow-up as well |
| 14006s | a whole bunch of attack as well |
| 14010s | there we go |
| 14011s | hey yeah i think alex is in trouble here |
| 14013s | could find him top 18 this one i think |
| 14016s | but again vulgin can do special things |
| 14018s | quite quickly |
| 14020s | not in trouble this time though xq and |
| 14023s | dashing through this bribe look at the |
| 14024s | state of this picking up nagas they've |
| 14026s | all got plus five courses a very early |
| 14028s | um gun |
| 14032s | or dagger whichever it is |
| 14034s | it looks like a fish in the picture so |
| 14037s | smoking fish smoked heading |
| 14044s | not going with the level here england |
| 14046s | easily both got their power souls online |
| 14047s | by the way sorry okay okay good to know |
| 14051s | uh as executing i mean the the smoking |
| 14053s | gun helps massively of course to help |
| 14056s | and try and stabilize here just to go |
| 14057s | trade for trade |
| 14058s | but admittedly he's not |
| 14062s | scaling massively right now |
| 14065s | so what's going to happen when he |
| 14067s | completes the bribe is he's going to use |
| 14069s | all of these buffs to sell the thing to |
| 14072s | drive the thing in the shop and then you |
| 14074s | know |
| 14075s | yeah |
| 14076s | it's just a very it's very strong player |
| 14079s | i keep on about executing but all those |
| 14080s | strong players will all do this but the |
| 14082s | synergy involved is immense here |
| 14085s | especially as he needs |
| 14087s | four more i think in order to complete |
| 14089s | the quest which could happen |
| 14092s | uh with one buy because he's gonna get |
| 14094s | one from the the quillboard and then the |
| 14098s | spell |
| 14099s | yeah the two spellcasters as well we'll |
| 14101s | cast us from the beginning |
| 14102s | yeah he will get it next turn |
| 14104s | and then he'll be able to start selling |
| 14106s | the buffed things to buff nice things in |
| 14108s | the shot |
| 14109s | and all the time that early dagger that |
| 14111s | he took uh early gun whichever one it is |
| 14114s | the plus five as early as got him to |
| 14116s | this spot so very nice |
| 14119s | and he is actually the last person who's |
| 14121s | completely letting us know everyone |
| 14123s | else's quest is fully complete apart |
| 14124s | from xqn wow interesting okay |
| 14129s | which is pretty insane it shows how |
| 14132s | tempo based this method is for quests |
| 14135s | yeah i mean most of them were quite low |
| 14138s | difficulty ones to give right we have |
| 14140s | four people on parasol i think this game |
| 14145s | i can't wait till we've got check format |
| 14146s | tomorrow though derek |
| 14149s | you're gonna take your parasol or you're |
| 14150s | just gonna die trying to get a |
| 14152s | wisdom ball or something like you know |
| 14155s | yeah that's the choice you're gonna get |
| 14158s | it's gonna be great |
| 14160s | all right xqm with the anima bribe |
| 14162s | online could uh dance uh on this uh |
| 14166s | amalgam |
| 14170s | i don't think at this point yeah you |
| 14171s | know you're definitely buying it with |
| 14173s | stats like that |
| 14174s | uh with no mechs in it's obviously |
| 14176s | annoying because it's a little bit |
| 14177s | harder to give it divine shield but |
| 14180s | dragons in the pool does mean that you |
| 14182s | could hit the amber guardian |
| 14186s | you give a divine shield just for a turn |
| 14188s | just using the war leader there as well |
| 14190s | to buff up a few extra stats for the |
| 14192s | bribe |
| 14195s | big triple here for penguin though who |
| 14198s | yeah |
| 14199s | remember picks curators to get this kind |
| 14201s | of easy ride that he's getting |
| 14204s | he's pretty weak though if he doesn't |
| 14206s | hit a powerhouse triple here he's gonna |
| 14209s | tank a lot of damage suppose he wasn't |
| 14211s | interested in his peggy actually i don't |
| 14213s | know |
| 14215s | like fangs |
| 14217s | immediately gives you three different |
| 14219s | minion types okay |
| 14223s | surprise he wasn't interested in the |
| 14224s | peggy honestly though |
| 14226s | he has enough cards going into hand i |
| 14228s | know some of them |
| 14229s | really um |
| 14231s | don't count if you like because they |
| 14233s | they leave after combat but |
| 14237s | it's okay but like you say he is getting |
| 14238s | left behind here i think |
| 14240s | whoa huge the fact that the |
| 14243s | spell cards gave that minion plus three |
| 14244s | health for it to survive at one exactly |
| 14246s | and poison down another minion that |
| 14247s | means he's going to be tanking a lot |
| 14249s | less damage potentially even looking at |
| 14251s | a win actually at the end of this all |
| 14252s | the time or at least a tie here |
| 14256s | which we'll happily take yeah he'll take |
| 14258s | that he's on curator so you know welcome |
| 14260s | back how's it going out there another |
| 14263s | pip what does he do yeah |
| 14265s | everything |
| 14267s | all right okay another relatively weak |
| 14268s | board this time from |
| 14270s | east leaf no real way to make use of |
| 14272s | that parasol that everybody seems to |
| 14275s | have this game |
| 14277s | uh one moment |
| 14279s | that he could go for and then level on |
| 14281s | the next term but on 75. i'm not really |
| 14284s | sure what you're looking for that's |
| 14285s | significantly better than what you're |
| 14287s | doing right now |
| 14289s | yeah you need a way to you've got so all |
| 14291s | you have to your name is a murloc that's |
| 14294s | going to have a huge amount of health |
| 14295s | that you hope poisons two things |
| 14298s | and |
| 14300s | some |
| 14301s | recursive gems you need a way to make |
| 14303s | that function as a as a team right |
| 14307s | and so ground shaker is that what we're |
| 14308s | looking for or triple into |
| 14311s | it was my |
| 14312s | first thought as i was making that |
| 14314s | sentence i'm looking at it does ground |
| 14316s | shaker get anywhere here like your |
| 14318s | merlot doesn't need really |
| 14320s | you've got the gems you've got the |
| 14321s | engine but you haven't got like the car |
| 14324s | sitting out there in your lawnmower |
| 14327s | bunch of pirates plus a hogger plus a |
| 14330s | gamble okay |
| 14332s | things are moving he's looking all right |
| 14334s | for alicia son |
| 14336s | a little slow now he needs one or two |
| 14339s | more turns before this is really popping |
| 14341s | but hey i mean another gold grubber as |
| 14343s | well this is strong |
| 14345s | yeah it got the henchman online as well |
| 14346s | i think so |
| 14349s | those salty looters will get a little |
| 14351s | bit of natural buff to keep him alive |
| 14352s | while he sets up |
| 14355s | big fight for alex here he needs to be |
| 14357s | winning this one lest he end up in the |
| 14358s | danger zone at the end of this fight uh |
| 14362s | but he's got himself a pretty formidable |
| 14364s | opponent here with some really big |
| 14365s | murlocs missing the divine shield on the |
| 14368s | bristleback is a disaster |
| 14375s | yeah in trouble here and it looks like |
| 14376s | that trouble is not going to get any |
| 14377s | better |
| 14379s | dying super super fast now there was a |
| 14382s | ground shaker in whatever shop that was |
| 14385s | we are going to watch um |
| 14387s | at least a bunch of pirates pop off this |
| 14389s | turn by the look of it |
| 14397s | oh |
| 14398s | there it is |
| 14400s | this is the stuff |
| 14401s | yep |
| 14403s | oh golden gold rubber everybody's |
| 14405s | favorite |
| 14413s | now the question is you kind of like |
| 14415s | where this turns gone do you just want |
| 14417s | to level to five you've got a sneaky |
| 14419s | chance to do it |
| 14420s | oh yeah get yourself another hogger |
| 14424s | are you hoping the tony will make you |
| 14427s | oh now you don't because now there's a |
| 14429s | swobby in the shop right or scally |
| 14432s | whichever one it is the three one and |
| 14438s | yeah yeah |
| 14443s | double selfless i mean that does go very |
| 14445s | nicely in the late game with bunch of |
| 14448s | stats pirates right but it might be a |
| 14450s | little bit early to be looking at taking |
| 14452s | them here |
| 14453s | i mean he's just setting up for next |
| 14454s | turn now |
| 14456s | makes sense to me all right |
| 14458s | hoggart and tony on the left-hand side |
| 14460s | praying for that avenge to give him the |
| 14463s | goodness he so dearly craves he's got a |
| 14465s | good chance of hitting it with all these |
| 14466s | taunts as well |
| 14469s | if he should get it as long as the first |
| 14471s | 13 14 dies |
| 14475s | even then it's a 50 50 if that doesn't |
| 14477s | die |
| 14488s | all right he's gonna get it |
| 14490s | of course he is it hits the 50 50 at the |
| 14492s | end as well fantastic turn which means |
| 14494s | alicia sound well on his way |
| 14496s | to the pirates nonsense but he is going |
| 14498s | to tank the full 15 on this turn |
| 14501s | which puts him not in the danger zone |
| 14503s | quite yet but if alex dies |
| 14506s | then it does get very scary here for him |
| 14508s | all right looks like alex surviving |
| 14510s | though |
| 14511s | gotta go go go here |
| 14515s | oh surely right i mean unless he wants |
| 14517s | to level |
| 14518s | first because again he's not going to |
| 14520s | die this turn |
| 14524s | it's brave but i respect it oh the |
| 14526s | tolerance we're going to grab that every |
| 14528s | day |
| 14529s | he took the swabbie |
| 14531s | after leveling which means that six is |
| 14533s | on his mind |
| 14537s | true yeah yeah kind of a little bit |
| 14540s | yeah that's true that might have been |
| 14542s | the other way around |
| 14551s | uh |
| 14552s | okay that's nice |
| 14554s | burn yeah absolutely because you've got |
| 14555s | the um strong arm in hand already uh-huh |
| 14558s | that makes sense |
| 14560s | plus the swabbie |
| 14569s | all right a good board a good board but |
| 14571s | not the uh the lofty heights that we |
| 14574s | know pirates can reach when you're |
| 14576s | hitting a golden hogger |
| 14580s | for that naga but there were no pirates |
| 14582s | in there sorry right executing the boy |
| 14584s | oh no sorry just going to say over on |
| 14586s | the uh the animal bribe of things it's |
| 14588s | good but this uh these minions aren't |
| 14591s | especially high health are they they're |
| 14593s | just numbers look at them they're big |
| 14596s | for turn 10. |
| 14597s | this is uh this is a winner you know |
| 14599s | these are going to be winning you most |
| 14600s | fights but |
| 14602s | 7436 without divine shield these could |
| 14605s | die to a wayward high attack minion i |
| 14608s | mean i just look it's just amusing me |
| 14610s | because there's just look at this |
| 14611s | synergy it's um |
| 14613s | yeah |
| 14614s | enough cards they've got numbers on them |
| 14619s | uh some numbers obviously on |
| 14621s | xqn's side and the bristleback knight |
| 14623s | dying is fantastic there without |
| 14625s | regaining the combination it does look |
| 14626s | like that's going to be enough to swing |
| 14628s | this one in his favor |
| 14631s | then we need to think about scaling uh |
| 14633s | because xqn's again his attack is |
| 14635s | scaling rapidly because of the nice |
| 14637s | synergy between uh the gun and anima |
| 14641s | bribe but his health on his minions is |
| 14642s | not necessarily scaling at quite the |
| 14645s | same degree yes as uh wow |
| 14649s | alex surviving at one hp alongside |
| 14652s | penguin sand still nobody dying and over |
| 14655s | half the lobby in the danger zone |
| 14658s | huge deal for alex right had a i've had |
| 14660s | a decent first lobby coming second and |
| 14662s | if he can get sort of equal sixth |
| 14665s | seventh eighth now and just pick up |
| 14666s | another point and |
| 14668s | considering he's been dead for about |
| 14670s | five turns just hanging in there |
| 14673s | alex actually leveling i think there as |
| 14676s | well when he's right on death's door |
| 14677s | going up to tavern tier five |
| 14679s | uh be interesting to know what he's |
| 14681s | so excited here |
| 14684s | second tara goza |
| 14686s | or nice big divine shield tower goes to |
| 14688s | scaling but not really that fast |
| 14692s | got to be but field right |
| 14695s | with the other dragon in the shop could |
| 14697s | try and get the tower goes to have the |
| 14699s | divine shields over time anyway that's |
| 14702s | true yeah |
| 14704s | yeah okay fair enough fair enough |
| 14706s | in case of how he decides to rate the |
| 14710s | voices it may be that he just left them |
| 14712s | in the shop and decided to let you know |
| 14714s | let bob decide |
| 14715s | they're both good |
| 14725s | if he doesn't need it now |
| 14728s | because this fight is important |
| 14732s | and he's scaled pretty well here the |
| 14733s | extra divine shield is a monstrous |
| 14735s | difference especially as he could get |
| 14737s | just 50 50 for divine shield on taragosa |
| 14740s | uh to instantly pull away into the torus |
| 14742s | and on the other side though where has |
| 14744s | this man been all my life murlocs with |
| 14746s | bran poison extra activations with the |
| 14750s | uh the snickers snacks as well i think |
| 14751s | that was oh no sorry smoking gun uh but |
| 14754s | his extra activations with the young |
| 14755s | murkai on the the lookout this is |
| 14759s | huge |
| 14760s | this board that he's got yeah it'll be |
| 14762s | enough to take down xqm though |
| 14765s | it's close |
| 14767s | it just came from that super quick |
| 14769s | completion where everything in the shop |
| 14770s | just was what he wanted right |
| 14773s | what does he get there with the death of |
| 14775s | the reborn oh my god a one health minion |
| 14779s | surviving there |
| 14780s | as i think that's a joint eighth there |
| 14783s | for yun-chan uh and penguin sand which |
| 14786s | means i think for penguin son |
| 14788s | oh |
| 14789s | wait is alex still in fourth place from |
| 14792s | nowhere oh he's dying he started just |
| 14794s | going through it but they're all dead |
| 14795s | everybody she's dead dave three people |
| 14798s | out at the same time with east leaf |
| 14800s | going as well which means it's a first |
| 14801s | place but also a joint last place uh for |
| 14804s | east leaf as well i believe and like you |
| 14807s | say alex just clawing his way in he's |
| 14809s | still somehow managing to claw through |
| 14811s | yeah he's made to actually now get a |
| 14814s | minion |
| 14815s | does something on his board look at the |
| 14817s | statement |
| 14820s | meanwhile your boy thomason |
| 14824s | i mean just look at this man this is so |
| 14827s | much stuff it's just your numbers i |
| 14831s | don't know if it's good i don't know if |
| 14832s | it's bad just stuff undeniably stuff |
| 14836s | well he's gotta have a glow scale in his |
| 14838s | hand he's got oh the shop now |
| 14840s | though he's got a lot of um versatile |
| 14842s | options going forwards |
| 14844s | because he's got a lot of health you |
| 14845s | might you might have a chance to have a |
| 14846s | look at some people first before wasting |
| 14848s | all of this um this good stuff |
| 14851s | just click keep clicking |
| 14854s | don't stop |
| 14856s | but gurgle |
| 14857s | the gurgle |
| 14860s | did you ever think that your job would |
| 14862s | revolve around saying for gurgle but |
| 14864s | gurgle as quickly as possible |
| 14867s | glad it does yeah i am too it makes my |
| 14870s | day listening to you say it derek |
| 14873s | uh he doesn't have time what do we end |
| 14875s | on you want to play the divine shields |
| 14877s | oh my god there's more other weapons as |
| 14879s | well just stop |
| 14882s | cell play leroy you're floating gold who |
| 14884s | cares he sells the leroy okay whatever |
| 14886s | yep do stuff bing bang bong misses a |
| 14889s | divine shield |
| 14891s | uh i think that's winning though |
| 14893s | probably right i'd look at this poison |
| 14895s | on the other side it might not be the |
| 14897s | device might be huge pretty big yeah |
| 14899s | missing the divine shields big deal |
| 14902s | okay hits the poison that's good |
| 14908s | okay looks all right actually |
| 14917s | all right not a knockout though alex is |
| 14919s | he able to claw his way through once |
| 14921s | again |
| 14925s | oh not quite |
| 14927s | not this time |
| 14929s | but still honestly if you're alex i |
| 14930s | think you're not upset especially with |
| 14933s | your fifth place based on the way that |
| 14935s | started that term where three people |
| 14937s | died alex was like oh my god that is |
| 14940s | this mission accomplished for this lobby |
| 14942s | third place or second place in the first |
| 14944s | lobby and then just takes this one to |
| 14945s | fifth that's fine you only gotta finish |
| 14947s | in the top four on average over the |
| 14949s | three lobbies yeah that's nine points |
| 14951s | all together now i think for alex he's a |
| 14953s | head of east leaf who won the last lobby |
| 14957s | they're looking to be in a very decent |
| 14958s | spot as here again pilots yeah it's just |
| 14961s | more stuff whether it be pirates or |
| 14963s | murlocs alicia san uh |
| 14966s | and uh |
| 14967s | taurusan |
| 14969s | are both popping off in a major way a |
| 14971s | lot of them down the shield there |
| 14975s | you might not be aware |
| 14979s | and maybe you need to keep it rolling |
| 14980s | too long |
| 14983s | thinking about this way too much |
| 14985s | his brain is empty his hand is full |
| 14988s | playing yeah |
| 14990s | yeah |
| 14994s | he was too low on gold oh |
| 15005s | yeah yeah okay okay here we go now we're |
| 15007s | back on top look at this and on time now |
| 15009s | now he's got to go like everything's |
| 15011s | there it's all pirates he's finally |
| 15013s | built the gold up to a respectable level |
| 15017s | but |
| 15018s | out of time so decides to end the run |
| 15020s | here |
| 15023s | it's good it's a good board it's going |
| 15024s | to struggle against poisons potentially |
| 15026s | because the lack of divine shields that |
| 15028s | he missed out on again as i was talking |
| 15029s | about |
| 15030s | you'd really love to have found those |
| 15031s | selfless heroes a little bit earlier and |
| 15033s | when you're up against golden selfless |
| 15036s | with not necessarily a bunch of poison |
| 15038s | murlocs but a bunch of big murlocs |
| 15041s | you really start to question if this is |
| 15043s | going to be big enough |
| 15044s | yeah absolutely yeah not quite |
| 15047s | good effort |
| 15049s | yep |
| 15050s | taking down a nice steady top four |
| 15053s | it's fine |
| 15059s | richard is taking down the equal third |
| 15061s | wow |
| 15062s | down to xqn |
| 15065s | and tourism oh my god what a turnaround |
| 15068s | eighth and then top two for xqn it's |
| 15071s | been a complete flip right we had |
| 15072s | eastleigh first uh last game and then |
| 15075s | dying first this game |
| 15077s | uh in joint eighth i believe and xqm |
| 15079s | with the potential to turn this one all |
| 15080s | around he is just against a bunch of |
| 15083s | murlocs right |
| 15084s | with some divine shieldage i believe on |
| 15086s | the other side as well |
| 15087s | so it's the classic question lorenda |
| 15089s | what are we looking for here for the win |
| 15093s | it's a classic answer some leroy's some |
| 15095s | good positioning some knowing what your |
| 15096s | opponents are going to do and i'm not |
| 15098s | sure he's got any of that information |
| 15100s | he he's been spending time trying to get |
| 15102s | these |
| 15103s | uh tara goes just set up with their |
| 15105s | divine shields he's just got an absolute |
| 15107s | bunch of nothing they've got quite big |
| 15109s | through the repeated use of the elite |
| 15111s | and |
| 15112s | whatever the dragon person's called on |
| 15114s | the right-hand side his name i can never |
| 15115s | remember sorry dragon person |
| 15119s | but really |
| 15120s | hasn't been able to get the required |
| 15122s | stuff |
| 15125s | over the course of the turns just hasn't |
| 15126s | had anything to |
| 15128s | to build onto right no divine shields |
| 15130s | and so on |
| 15131s | what about the |
| 15133s | tunnel blaster can that factor in if |
| 15135s | your opponent has |
| 15137s | a selfless hero a golden selfless hero |
| 15140s | does that become good or just bad to |
| 15142s | take tunnel blaster |
| 15144s | it depends what you know right i think |
| 15145s | it's bad i think if he takes it it's bad |
| 15147s | because i think he just gets outstatted |
| 15148s | and out poisoned if right i will blast |
| 15151s | his own shields yeah yeah i think for |
| 15154s | memory and i could be wrong because i'm |
| 15156s | old and my memory is rubbish i think |
| 15157s | he's just in trouble here |
| 15165s | quite specific numbers going to be |
| 15167s | important here like 15 15 killing a 15 |
| 15170s | health thing |
| 15173s | on the other side the disaster for xqm |
| 15176s | as trade |
| 15178s | poison poison poison yeah taking the |
| 15180s | full shebang here so it does have |
| 15182s | another turn of course as he takes the |
| 15183s | 12 here oh sorry uh the 11 here on the |
| 15186s | other side |
| 15187s | which is you know a big difference |
| 15189s | between 11 and 12 because if he takes |
| 15190s | the same again next time he has one more |
| 15192s | turn to try and stabilize |
| 15197s | i did get the shield onto the toe he |
| 15199s | goes this turn so now he's got some |
| 15200s | spaces yeah there we go like he knows |
| 15203s | it's going to be tunnel blasted in terms |
| 15206s | of the divine shield |
| 15209s | but i don't think you have too much |
| 15210s | choice in |
| 15212s | playing around that |
| 15213s | either way |
| 15216s | yeah it's just another |
| 15217s | it's |
| 15218s | yeah it's just another poison well it's |
| 15220s | a little bit more evenly this one's |
| 15221s | interesting because if he thinks he can |
| 15224s | survive |
| 15226s | he doesn't it's a shame if you thought |
| 15228s | he could survive he could try and make a |
| 15229s | really huge mounted queen so it wouldn't |
| 15231s | need |
| 15234s | that's interesting |
| 15236s | but yeah |
| 15238s | uh baron selling a 31-18 for baron with |
| 15241s | no selfless probably not quite |
| 15245s | it's also a different |
| 15247s | indian type as well |
| 15248s | for queens so |
| 15250s | a good point instead of being a pig |
| 15254s | don't we all |
| 15257s | sounds like a typical day of my life |
| 15261s | okay poison poison poison |
| 15264s | poison |
| 15266s | with the selfless and the uh |
| 15271s | panel blaster and very importantly |
| 15273s | buffing it out of that range of dying to |
| 15275s | the tunnel blaster effects huge |
| 15277s | difference here |
| 15278s | oh baron which he could sell into but |
| 15281s | runs out of time |
| 15283s | and uh i guess maybe you wouldn't |
| 15285s | actually want that because of the weird |
| 15287s | synergy or anti synergy with the tunnel |
| 15289s | blaster as well |
| 15291s | yeah i think you wanted it but |
| 15293s | yeah |
| 15294s | experience looking decision of just |
| 15296s | saying you know what sometimes this game |
| 15298s | you run out of time because it's |
| 15299s | battlegrounds |
| 15302s | and then just again there's not enough |
| 15305s | stuff on the other side of the board for |
| 15306s | xqn to fight back against all these |
| 15308s | poisons |
| 15309s | is he going upstairs to survive not this |
| 15311s | time i don't think |
| 15312s | gonna die |
| 15313s | at one on off yeah that's a full 12 okay |
| 15317s | one last turn for xqn it's not |
| 15320s | technically over and it could work walk |
| 15322s | away with the first which is a big |
| 15324s | difference you know when you finished |
| 15325s | eighth in the last lobby that one extra |
| 15328s | point that you can get could very much |
| 15330s | be the difference between uh sunday or |
| 15332s | no sunday |
| 15334s | so some questions here do we think if |
| 15335s | you're gonna |
| 15337s | tell us some that your zap is doing |
| 15339s | anything it doesn't really look like |
| 15340s | it's doing a whole lot to me |
| 15342s | which means he's got space for the baron |
| 15343s | if he wants it |
| 15345s | but where's his second space meanwhile |
| 15346s | xqn |
| 15348s | gonna need to get a little bit lucky to |
| 15349s | win right so |
| 15351s | just hoping this giant tower goes we can |
| 15353s | bob and weave and not get poisoned |
| 15355s | uh-huh to reshield it would be nice |
| 15358s | which he has with an adena he's got |
| 15360s | obviously yeah the nadine is a very big |
| 15363s | deal placement is obviously very tricky |
| 15365s | because you want to be able to |
| 15367s | uh with with |
| 15369s | potentially no taunts but maybe taunts |
| 15371s | available you want to be able to |
| 15372s | guarantee as much as possible you |
| 15373s | reapply the die shield to the taragosa |
| 15375s | that's the the main one that matters but |
| 15377s | do you greet out and try and redivine |
| 15379s | shield two minions with the the bronze |
| 15381s | warden as well |
| 15383s | yeah what are you trying to do with your |
| 15384s | potential leeway if you want it here but |
| 15386s | then you have to sell a minion that's |
| 15388s | not fun |
| 15389s | well two yeah |
| 15394s | so he's looking at the lever potentially |
| 15395s | bronze warden there |
| 15397s | and this i think is the most sensible |
| 15399s | way to go about you rely on the mantids |
| 15402s | to get torn divine shield is lost by the |
| 15405s | uh taragosa and then it's reapplied |
| 15407s | straight away hopes to take out a couple |
| 15408s | poisons |
| 15409s | with that extra activation it's very big |
| 15414s | did keep the zap let's have a look how |
| 15416s | that works out |
| 15418s | i mean it's pretty big for if one of the |
| 15419s | mantids misses on divine shield also if |
| 15422s | he goes first it would have probably |
| 15424s | taken down the um |
| 15431s | okay |
| 15436s | close |
| 15437s | but not close enough i think that's |
| 15439s | going to do it as you see taurus and |
| 15441s | taking the win very nicely done by him |
| 15444s | after a third place last lobby of first |
| 15447s | place here as well he is skyrocketed up |
| 15450s | to the top of the leaderboard alongside |
| 15452s | alex as xuan keeps his dreams alive with |
| 15456s | a second place there yeah absolutely |
| 15458s | making this lobby um we're going to wait |
| 15460s | to see the standings not like last time |
| 15462s | where everyone who came last came last |
| 15463s | again and made our job easy i actually |
| 15465s | have to look at them this time but tyson |
| 15467s | looked good in that first lobby again |
| 15470s | i'm using the phrase a lot just picked |
| 15472s | up what he played with what he got |
| 15473s | played well with what he got and kind of |
| 15474s | did the same again this time he got that |
| 15476s | incredible quest completion very early |
| 15478s | on |
| 15479s | and |
| 15480s | just took some murlocs in the brand i'm |
| 15482s | making it sound easier i wish it was |
| 15483s | that easy but just making sensible |
| 15485s | decisions that this one ended up winning |
| 15487s | the lobby wasn't necessarily even a |
| 15489s | lobby winning build for some lobbies but |
| 15491s | it was fine |
| 15492s | and i think we're going to see torres |
| 15494s | and just keep picking up points through |
| 15495s | today and through tomorrow |
| 15497s | uh he's looking very good to me |
| 15500s | yes yeah he can just pick one of those |
| 15501s | safe heroes now that's looking to hit a |
| 15504s | top three top four as consistently as |
| 15506s | possible because i mean i think even if |
| 15508s | he gets eighth he's still in a very good |
| 15510s | spot yes making it through two |
| 15512s | uh through to the top four uh but it's |
| 15515s | not never me bro right |
| 15516s | exactly yeah if you get that you're |
| 15518s | essentially guaranteed to be able to |
| 15519s | make it through just through uh early |
| 15521s | mid game tempo alone whereas xqn does |
| 15524s | need to i think |
| 15526s | that is a little loftier than that like |
| 15529s | eighth second third |
| 15531s | yeah you know you could make it through |
| 15532s | on that you're looking at like |
| 15534s | 13 14 points or so with that |
| 15537s | but |
| 15538s | it's uh far from a guarantee hey |
| 15541s | yeah you want 11 12 more you want 12 to |
| 15544s | make yourself |
| 15545s | in with i don't know what percentages i |
| 15547s | should be able to work it out but i |
| 15548s | haven't done it but 12 is probably 75 or |
| 15550s | something like that |
| 15552s | it's my another second |
| 15555s | yeah that executes probably what we're |
| 15556s | looking at |
| 15558s | again |
| 15559s | you can make it on ten |
| 15561s | uh you can make it you can not make it |
| 15563s | on twelve and a half weird things happen |
| 15565s | in this game |
| 15566s | you do indeed uh whereas down at the |
| 15569s | bottom of the leaderboard i do think we |
| 15571s | start to have our |
| 15573s | mathematically eliminated players |
| 15575s | showing through uh with penguin sam with |
| 15579s | two rough games in a row uh i believe |
| 15582s | putting him in a very unlikely shot of |
| 15584s | being able to make it through uh |
| 15586s | yun-chan going to be towards the bottom |
| 15588s | i think after like a fourth and then a |
| 15590s | seventh |
| 15591s | uh far from the best performance from |
| 15593s | hip so far |
| 15595s | yeah |
| 15596s | penguin trying some different stuff out |
| 15598s | in both games which is not quite getting |
| 15599s | there so not actually eliminated yet |
| 15602s | before anybody but |
| 15604s | this is close there's a score sheet |
| 15607s | there is a score sheet oh my goodness so |
| 15610s | yeah but penguin is kind of where we're |
| 15611s | looking at from a casting perspective |
| 15613s | and thomas and who we're going to assume |
| 15614s | has made it |
| 15615s | but any four from the other sixes only |
| 15617s | three from the other six is is pretty |
| 15619s | likely |
| 15620s | yeah exactly and penguin sound as well |
| 15622s | technically in with a chance of one of |
| 15624s | those weird plots again similar to |
| 15626s | sleepy uh in the previous lobby but like |
| 15628s | you say we'll essentially focus on alex |
| 15630s | through uh jungchak uh in this uh next |
| 15634s | final game uh of the day final game for |
| 15637s | group b as well where you know |
| 15640s | alex eastleaf and alicia can look a |
| 15643s | little bit more heavily as i was saying |
| 15644s | at those just solid placements where you |
| 15647s | finish uh top four top three ideally and |
| 15650s | then you're going to be able to go |
| 15651s | through nice and easy xcom i do think |
| 15653s | needs to be setting his sights on and |
| 15655s | young chang in particular |
| 15657s | one of those loftier goals another game |
| 15659s | like that where you're taking really |
| 15661s | ambitious heroes ambitious quests as |
| 15663s | well and getting them to to work very |
| 15666s | well that anima bribe game was gorgeous |
| 15669s | uh from xqa and showing us a lot of the |
| 15670s | tricks that you can make work with that |
| 15672s | quest |
| 15674s | yeah and this is what makes xo's |
| 15676s | decision in group a uh you know all the |
| 15678s | more exciting where he just took devil |
| 15680s | went for that third place with this sort |
| 15682s | of point scored just sort of squeaked |
| 15684s | through um if xq gets offered that now |
| 15686s | do you go for it i think it's good |
| 15688s | enough for third place |
| 15690s | guaranteed that you take it and see if |
| 15691s | you can sneak a second but yeah if he |
| 15693s | gets a normal hero i want to see what |
| 15696s | derek's talking about i want to see him |
| 15697s | just |
| 15698s | be xqn and take something difficult and |
| 15701s | complete it and win the lobby |
| 15703s | all right one more game yet to come |
| 15706s | today uh in lobby legends magic of |
| 15709s | azeroth before we know all eight of our |
| 15710s | competitors playing in the final lobby |
| 15713s | tomorrow uh when we come back we'll play |
| 15715s | through that lobby and find out who |
| 15717s | those final four competitors will be |
| 15719s | we'll see you then |
| 15732s | so |
| 15743s | so |
| 15785s | so |
| 15868s | do |
| 15919s | welcome back one and all to hearthstone |
| 15921s | lobby legends magic of azeroth joining |
| 15923s | us for the final game of the day finding |
| 15925s | out as i've said who the final four |
| 15927s | players joining us in tomorrow's last |
| 15929s | mega lobby shall be |
| 15932s | all fans of xqn rejoicing after a |
| 15934s | turnaround with a second place in the |
| 15937s | previous game that we saw there |
| 15940s | but still very much not out of the woods |
| 15941s | yet as there are the vast majority of |
| 15944s | players still in with a very very good |
| 15946s | shot and making it through to that top |
| 15948s | four but with varying point totals which |
| 15950s | means there's gonna be a huge array of |
| 15952s | strategies depending on how risky our |
| 15955s | players need to be how lofty they need |
| 15956s | to set their height and whether they |
| 15958s | will go first or eighth in a truly |
| 15961s | last-ditch attempt to make it through |
| 15964s | yeah group a was almost a head-to-head |
| 15966s | that we followed through in game three |
| 15967s | to see who would make that fourth spot |
| 15969s | this one this is a tussle derek it could |
| 15971s | be basically anybody going through here |
| 15974s | i think it'd be maths it might even be |
| 15976s | actually anybody who goes through here |
| 15978s | so we will be keeping |
| 15980s | eyes all over the place which of course |
| 15982s | is subtle's job today which is great |
| 15984s | because subtle loves looking at eight |
| 15986s | different things at once |
| 15987s | um and criticizing them all |
| 15989s | simultaneously no doubt knowing subtle |
| 15992s | silently judging you from behind the |
| 15994s | screen |
| 15995s | that does sound like our boy |
| 15998s | i don't know about the silently part |
| 15999s | honestly |
| 16001s | but look at this |
| 16003s | um yeah i think that taurusan is worthy |
| 16006s | leader from what we've seen i think alex |
| 16008s | did a great job to scrounge together |
| 16010s | those three points last lobby to take |
| 16012s | himself into second which |
| 16014s | you know has put him in a great spot to |
| 16016s | just have to do the same again |
| 16018s | east leaf hard to tell right because we |
| 16020s | don't know much about east leaf and the |
| 16021s | first lobby just |
| 16023s | i'd say just did it very well but |
| 16025s | complete staff go to six buy good cars |
| 16027s | was was what happened and then |
| 16029s | yeah let's see what he could do when he |
| 16031s | doesn't buy stuff go to six like good |
| 16033s | cards but everybody so far at least the |
| 16035s | ones at the top in both groups seem to |
| 16037s | be having |
| 16038s | really good |
| 16040s | days um understanding good days |
| 16043s | understanding a good understanding of |
| 16044s | the new |
| 16046s | one of the things that we saw there for |
| 16047s | the first time was a real attempt at |
| 16049s | full-on pirates uh with the uh the |
| 16053s | hoggar peggy all that synergy working |
| 16055s | together as well and it did okay it |
| 16057s | managed to get like fifth i think in the |
| 16060s | end right or uh fourth or so uh or the |
| 16064s | player doing it i think it's a leash |
| 16065s | standby yeah equal four five i think |
| 16068s | okay equal fourth fifth okay there we go |
| 16069s | that makes sense uh but it didn't look |
| 16071s | especially strong as soon as it |
| 16073s | met murlocs it very quickly bit the dust |
| 16076s | is that a common theme we're expecting |
| 16078s | to see with pirates are they more of a |
| 16080s | support minion type at the moment than |
| 16082s | necessarily the focus of your uh |
| 16085s | strategy or was that not representative |
| 16087s | of how strong they can be i kind of feel |
| 16090s | like that's every class apart from maybe |
| 16093s | every minute okay maybe mex honestly um |
| 16096s | yes i agree with you um |
| 16098s | pirates can pop off sometimes |
| 16101s | so um |
| 16103s | a bit difficult as sort of just made the |
| 16105s | point as well in our discord that you |
| 16106s | know there's server lag for the players |
| 16108s | outside of europe for this one so that's |
| 16110s | true some people can really go full |
| 16112s | speed |
| 16113s | um |
| 16114s | but |
| 16115s | i do think privates are a little bit |
| 16116s | stronger than we saw there |
| 16118s | and exodus if you can actually get it |
| 16119s | together which spoilers you can't |
| 16121s | because you've got to go to six and |
| 16123s | already have pieces in play and it's |
| 16125s | still really really good |
| 16126s | but yeah everything everything is a |
| 16128s | support class apart from i think mex and |
| 16130s | beast are the two real stand-alone still |
| 16134s | okay that makes sense yeah mex i'm still |
| 16136s | kind of struggling to |
| 16138s | exactly like that hasn't come up all too |
| 16140s | much in my lobbies but the beast's very |
| 16141s | much i can see it's like a nice easy you |
| 16143s | level to four you triple and you start |
| 16145s | getting these powerhouse five drops with |
| 16147s | crocolisk uh baby crush and mama bear as |
| 16150s | well as xqn on |
| 16153s | murloc homes here we're seeing him |
| 16155s | picked essentially |
| 16157s | oh oh okay uh i just got told there's |
| 16159s | gonna be a remake uh we're redoing the |
| 16161s | lobby no idea why uh i guess maybe some |
| 16163s | kind of connectivity issue but |
| 16166s | i take that back not murloc homes for |
| 16168s | xqn but the point i was about to make |
| 16170s | those still stand as |
| 16172s | it seems that murloc homes so far is |
| 16174s | just an insta pick hero whenever it's |
| 16176s | offered it feels like it's right up at |
| 16178s | the top of the t list for all our |
| 16179s | players yeah it's definitely a very |
| 16182s | strong hero i'll be interested to see |
| 16184s | how people take it when it's compared to |
| 16187s | what i think is strong like a gallywix |
| 16188s | or a milhouse or |
| 16190s | um what they think is strong we've seen |
| 16191s | people taking gale wing very highly i |
| 16193s | want to see that so i don't know where |
| 16195s | it ranks in that that top list but |
| 16197s | certainly we've seen people taking it |
| 16199s | when it's being offered relentlessly so |
| 16201s | they're rating it very highly |
| 16203s | yeah i'm just going to go back to your |
| 16204s | beast versus mex thing it's sort of the |
| 16206s | same thing right |
| 16208s | like mama bear is just omega buster |
| 16210s | hydra is just faux reaper |
| 16213s | um |
| 16215s | the high health you get from mama bears |
| 16217s | is of the shields they work out very |
| 16219s | similar not leapers leapers are their |
| 16221s | own thing but |
| 16222s | regular |
| 16224s | like your crocolisk is just your |
| 16226s | regenerating shields |
| 16229s | yes i think you're coming from they work |
| 16231s | the same way give or take even though |
| 16233s | they've got very different looks about |
| 16234s | them |
| 16235s | uh the big difference being that you do |
| 16237s | need to be on six for mex to work where |
| 16239s | beast will work on five |
| 16241s | i mean you have also like relatively |
| 16242s | similar match-ups right like the things |
| 16244s | that struggle against mechs kind of |
| 16245s | struggle against beasts as well a lot of |
| 16247s | the time where poisoned comps aren't |
| 16248s | going to be so effective against you |
| 16250s | because of the death rattles you have if |
| 16251s | you're going with the uh the summoning |
| 16253s | death rattles version of beasts which is |
| 16255s | not necessarily something you're always |
| 16256s | going for if you want to hit mccourt and |
| 16259s | uh |
| 16261s | the reason those comps work sorry just |
| 16263s | to cut you off because i'm please cut |
| 16265s | you off hey um the reason those comps |
| 16268s | work is you don't have to buy them all |
| 16269s | in one go so you don't play exodia |
| 16271s | because you have to have all the stuff |
| 16273s | or you lose because otherwise you're |
| 16274s | hitting them with bad cards but if you |
| 16276s | get a mama bear and a parrot you've just |
| 16278s | got a good minion on the board if you |
| 16280s | get a |
| 16281s | deflecto and an omega buster you've got |
| 16283s | a good minion on the board |
| 16287s | okay genetics for taking over milhouse |
| 16289s | here by xqn |
| 16293s | yeah going from murloc homes to uh |
| 16296s | dinathrius the uh |
| 16302s | investigator |
| 16305s | that sounded better in your head didn't |
| 16307s | it |
| 16308s | uh it didn't sound like anything in my |
| 16309s | head because i was typing at the time |
| 16310s | and my brain just told me to say that |
| 16312s | uh but young chang this time getting uh |
| 16315s | the murloc homes instead |
| 16318s | uh which means |
| 16320s | what an interesting selection here |
| 16321s | obviously |
| 16322s | uh take a look at the quest right out |
| 16324s | the gate before we look at the rest of |
| 16326s | the heroes |
| 16327s | two pretty easy to complete |
| 16330s | once i want to say |
| 16332s | i think it's early enough i think you |
| 16333s | can take it i disagree |
| 16337s | okay sure |
| 16342s | i know book is bait a lot of the time |
| 16345s | but |
| 16347s | that was an early book and if xq says no |
| 16349s | then it's probably incorrect to take the |
| 16351s | book but wow |
| 16354s | yeah just a little bit easier to |
| 16355s | complete this one i think a lot of the |
| 16357s | time |
| 16358s | and uh |
| 16359s | potentially more immediate tempo doesn't |
| 16361s | focus you on one game plan in particular |
| 16363s | no i do agree um |
| 16365s | having seen it now |
| 16371s | okay |
| 16373s | to us we haven't seen much of him |
| 16376s | um so far |
| 16378s | it'll be an unpopular decision amongst |
| 16380s | some people i'm sure |
| 16382s | he hasn't had much exciting going on |
| 16384s | otherwise you would have shown more |
| 16390s | actually a couple of interesting right |
| 16392s | boards here right because double tavern |
| 16394s | tipper very often persuades you away |
| 16396s | from |
| 16397s | uh |
| 16399s | leveling uh and just floating that gold |
| 16401s | every turn because one often not worth |
| 16403s | it two does become worth it but given |
| 16405s | you'd have to spend two turns waiting |
| 16406s | before you get the second one i think it |
| 16408s | probably would have ended up on a level |
| 16410s | there but it was close i think when you |
| 16411s | have a one my own opinion when you have |
| 16413s | a one minor hero power or one gold hero |
| 16416s | power tavern tip has become really |
| 16418s | expensive |
| 16419s | okay because you're using your hero |
| 16420s | power and floating a gold on top so |
| 16423s | you're not buying anything half the time |
| 16424s | because you're |
| 16425s | well you're not buying enough you're |
| 16426s | floating effectively two gold because |
| 16428s | you'll hear powers accounting for one of |
| 16429s | them |
| 16439s | okay |
| 16441s | out of the question that we could be |
| 16443s | looking at just uh |
| 16445s | piggybacking uh plus the trickster as |
| 16447s | well instead of three on three here it's |
| 16448s | a nice little bit of demon synergy |
| 16451s | uh and you get some death rattles as |
| 16453s | well which is very nice for a lot of the |
| 16454s | quests both uh quests themselves and the |
| 16457s | rewards can be pretty nice with death |
| 16458s | rattles |
| 16463s | yeah i like it okay |
| 16475s | leading up into quests for the following |
| 16477s | turn nobody going three on three this |
| 16479s | lobby which means players will have a |
| 16481s | lot more idea about the direction |
| 16483s | they're going to be wanting to take with |
| 16484s | their quests i know just the spell for |
| 16487s | this encounter yep here we go quest time |
| 16491s | first time i have enjoyed watching the |
| 16493s | number of people we haven't seen it so |
| 16494s | much in this lobby but especially in the |
| 16496s | first lady people just holding stuff in |
| 16498s | their hand going into |
| 16499s | so they've got all the versatility |
| 16501s | available to them very smart |
| 16511s | i |
| 16513s | did end up going with the tippers here |
| 16519s | ritual dagger murlocs or beast if that |
| 16523s | was demons you might consider a little |
| 16524s | more heavily with the imprisoner on the |
| 16527s | board |
| 16530s | eb ends up as |
| 16533s | vector just because again you have the |
| 16536s | imprisoner uh in order to summon an |
| 16538s | extra minion and start chugging through |
| 16539s | that but summon 16 minions feels like a |
| 16541s | lot for victims vector i've got to be |
| 16542s | honest i think you give up and take the |
| 16544s | dagger here okay okay i think you just |
| 16547s | give up and take it like it's on beasts |
| 16549s | so at least beasts can have death |
| 16551s | battles i know other things can too so |
| 16553s | aha |
| 16554s | i don't know |
| 16556s | i don't like any of it |
| 16557s | me neither looks too slow |
| 16560s | vector's expensive dagger's |
| 16563s | garbage is very exaggerated |
| 16566s | oh well two people have already actually |
| 16568s | picked a victim spectre in both yuen |
| 16571s | chang and penguins and i believe |
| 16578s | he's also in a position where he |
| 16580s | doesn't really know if he needs to win |
| 16581s | the lobby or not |
| 16583s | so that's true yeah currently in fifth |
| 16586s | place with six and a half points is kind |
| 16588s | of |
| 16589s | meh i think |
| 16591s | you take the specter and just live with |
| 16593s | it |
| 16594s | okay |
| 16596s | i see the more i immediately summons a |
| 16598s | few minions |
| 16605s | i think he's i think you get to the |
| 16606s | point there when you analyze it over and |
| 16608s | over again where you realize there's a |
| 16609s | good chance you never complete any of |
| 16610s | them so you might as well take the one |
| 16612s | that's completed that you could complete |
| 16614s | then |
| 16614s | you get something out of it |
| 16617s | well we have taurusan with our first uh |
| 16623s | wondrous wisdom ball oh excellent |
| 16626s | helpful refresher so i hope we get to |
| 16628s | see that at some point have 25 friendly |
| 16630s | minions die that's not absurd if you get |
| 16633s | the beast synergy rolling alongside it |
| 16636s | who's on the |
| 16638s | ball |
| 16640s | uh i'm sorry |
| 16642s | yeah we don't need to watch it i think |
| 16643s | we should watch them anyway because the |
| 16644s | ball is hilarious |
| 16646s | alex jp on red hand needs to play for |
| 16650s | mech or quillboard which hey there's a |
| 16652s | quillboard |
| 16654s | or mac staying on tavern too or another |
| 16657s | quail door |
| 16664s | blood gems for everyone |
| 16667s | yeah uh you need to think about what you |
| 16668s | want to buff in hand because you could |
| 16670s | of course like |
| 16672s | buy the golem |
| 16673s | i don't think you want a level here |
| 16674s | right you want to get the buff as soon |
| 16676s | as you uh play something with the red |
| 16678s | hand and i guess you just buff the |
| 16680s | harvest golem and get the immediate |
| 16682s | effect of the banner ball |
| 16684s | yeah absolutely just just anything right |
| 16687s | that's the reason we end up with these |
| 16688s | weird comps right now it's quite often |
| 16690s | better just to have something than it is |
| 16692s | to have synergy yeah we've seen a lot of |
| 16694s | comps where it's just a bunch of numbers |
| 16697s | okay i like this freeze as well because |
| 16698s | i'm imagining we're looking at trickster |
| 16700s | right in order to just buy |
| 16702s | and then let it ferment |
| 16705s | yeah |
| 16706s | get nice and juicy |
| 16708s | good old juicy fermented trickster for |
| 16710s | breakfast |
| 16711s | my favorite |
| 16712s | oh yeah |
| 16714s | good stuff |
| 16715s | ah breakfast that's the thing that comes |
| 16718s | after you cast hearthstone |
| 16726s | oh this time |
| 16728s | i'm gonna get to see it now i'm excited |
| 16732s | but yeah all the minions dying here this |
| 16734s | is like two turns away we're looking at |
| 16736s | the one because wisdom ball which is |
| 16737s | plenty of time in which to get it |
| 16739s | especially at 38 health as he is right |
| 16742s | now |
| 16745s | xxqn currently right away at the bottom |
| 16747s | his second quest is to increase a |
| 16748s | friendly minion stat 16 times and then |
| 16751s | at the end of your turn you uh hench man |
| 16754s | yeah it's hench toys yeah whatever it is |
| 16756s | that's a really difficult hench person |
| 16760s | it is |
| 16761s | they i feel like that |
| 16763s | they uh they stat like the number of |
| 16766s | minions you have to increase their stats |
| 16767s | it's very very high |
| 16769s | a lot of yeah because you know there are |
| 16771s | ways that you can just |
| 16773s | tease like you get a honcho out the gate |
| 16774s | and spam a bunch of murlocs |
| 16776s | it does it |
| 16778s | just instantly |
| 16779s | go to six and pick up her elijah you're |
| 16782s | done sure yeah yeah exactly |
| 16785s | it's over |
| 16786s | let's go to six is so easy right now |
| 16788s | right |
| 16794s | yeah yeah spawn subtle but we don't care |
| 16796s | about spawn |
| 16798s | observe some spawns huh |
| 16803s | for those who don't know understand |
| 16804s | what's going on here subtle observes |
| 16806s | these games for us all at once and then |
| 16807s | every now and again he yeah yeah yeah |
| 16809s | here we go he interjects and offers his |
| 16812s | opinion because we're wrong and he's |
| 16813s | right and there's the spawn we asked for |
| 16815s | look i said observe some spawns so he's |
| 16817s | sarcastically on a live book house |
| 16819s | that's what i say because that's his |
| 16820s | name |
| 16821s | thank you subtle appreciate it |
| 16826s | we haven't seen much of young anyway so |
| 16827s | it's a good time to go across to this |
| 16829s | board |
| 16833s | okay |
| 16835s | relatively close fight both players |
| 16837s | still without much direction in their |
| 16839s | game plan right now |
| 16841s | yeah young chang will be hoping to |
| 16843s | get a triple out of his |
| 16846s | quest competitor |
| 16849s | very haphazard but |
| 16851s | it's okay |
| 16853s | free money at the end of the day |
| 16867s | there we go |
| 16868s | it's wisdom ball time baby |
| 16871s | yay straight away |
| 16875s | the first question is do you want to do |
| 16877s | it on do you want to level first or do |
| 16878s | you want to just roll a few times |
| 16881s | what do you actually get what are you |
| 16882s | looking for off the wisdom ball that i |
| 16884s | mean honestly |
| 16885s | you'll know it when you see it |
| 16892s | i know it |
| 16893s | i saw it and i know it |
| 16896s | you know what i mean you don't talk |
| 16898s | about what the wisdom ball might do for |
| 16900s | you you just let it do it |
| 16901s | oh they missed you didn't do anything |
| 16904s | is this the all beast one i think it |
| 16905s | does activate it again and gives you all |
| 16907s | the same minion time got you |
| 16911s | dude that was the easiest |
| 16913s | uh seven top spins of your life you just |
| 16915s | fill up the board with poisons |
| 16918s | you've just got a board of six one two |
| 16921s | poisons |
| 16922s | and your opponent just plays divine |
| 16924s | shields or even worse just something |
| 16926s | that does two damage to everything yeah |
| 16927s | everybody dies tunnel blaster and just |
| 16930s | get turtle blood blasted yeah |
| 16937s | okay water business over here though |
| 16939s | felicia sound to be fair another beasts |
| 16942s | though right now |
| 16944s | uh but it is a ritual dagger |
| 16946s | canyon right to just start uh |
| 16950s | looking galen on other swords this is |
| 16952s | this is going to scale pretty quick |
| 16953s | because of |
| 16955s | so many death rattles |
| 16961s | you can't always find this many death |
| 16963s | bottles but yeah |
| 16967s | i mean yeah but like this is scaling for |
| 16969s | later on right now it's relatively |
| 16972s | underpowered oh yeah yeah potentially |
| 16974s | quite a lot of damage |
| 16977s | yeah it needs some synergy like the |
| 16979s | scaling alone is not going to get in |
| 16981s | there you're definitely right there as |
| 16982s | you said eating through this clock would |
| 16984s | be really nice |
| 16985s | the high mains would be quite fruity i |
| 16987s | guess some of that's |
| 16989s | usual |
| 16990s | but for now this will |
| 16992s | hopefully keep the damage down to |
| 16995s | freeze to be lower |
| 16997s | okay good hits goodness allowing alicia |
| 16999s | to walk away relatively unscathed |
| 17004s | all right come on wondrous wisdom bull |
| 17007s | what have we got here |
| 17011s | stuff or stuff |
| 17016s | do that thing ball |
| 17017s | that's not the thing that's the juice |
| 17021s | damn it son why are you playing so |
| 17022s | sensibly why can't you like just keep |
| 17024s | rolling the ball |
| 17026s | you know how this works |
| 17030s | you've become only ten thousand dollars |
| 17032s | at stake |
| 17034s | even while commentating on battlegrounds |
| 17035s | you become a football hooligan you're |
| 17037s | like come on no don't roll the ball like |
| 17039s | that yeah exactly right there for me |
| 17044s | obvious penalty because he hasn't used |
| 17046s | the ball |
| 17053s | in fairness though just another sensible |
| 17056s | board um yeah jeb splitters divine |
| 17059s | shields and in a minute the ball will do |
| 17060s | the thing and the game will |
| 17063s | look completely trivial interesting to |
| 17065s | see if it knows enough to give him |
| 17066s | ground shakes and stuff here it's a very |
| 17069s | nice direction uh for yon chang here |
| 17070s | available with dark gays of course |
| 17072s | starting to buff up these |
| 17075s | uh quill balls |
| 17077s | and then a respectable shop to freeze as |
| 17079s | well with the amalgam going to be |
| 17081s | getting nice and juiced you want to |
| 17082s | poison that and very possibly selfless |
| 17085s | is going to become a good |
| 17087s | uh card to pick up in the near future if |
| 17089s | you're able to hit that scaling point |
| 17091s | where your minions are big enough to win |
| 17092s | fights the follow-up that you want is |
| 17094s | undeniably uh selfless |
| 17097s | yeah your amalgam is going to get big |
| 17100s | enough to get toxins as well so have a |
| 17102s | nice health total of course it counts as |
| 17104s | a quill boss it will keep getting buffed |
| 17106s | over time |
| 17108s | so having a nice high health |
| 17110s | poisonous amalgam will be |
| 17112s | something worth having |
| 17115s | penguins and also able to hit the dark |
| 17117s | gaze but with a much less inviting board |
| 17120s | to go alongside it uh it's got to be |
| 17122s | said he needs to hit some real quick |
| 17124s | turnaround oh he's going to die very |
| 17126s | very quickly like two three turns and he |
| 17128s | is out of here |
| 17130s | rapid 14. |
| 17137s | curious to see what he takes here but |
| 17140s | we're going to see xqn hanging for |
| 17142s | another victory |
| 17145s | where is his board actually what's the |
| 17146s | strat leading towards obviously bran in |
| 17148s | hand means the world is your oyster |
| 17151s | but as for right now |
| 17152s | a little lack of direction uh |
| 17155s | at this point what is this |
| 17158s | is a |
| 17160s | way you could consider but yeah i'm not |
| 17162s | really feeling it one the last stage of |
| 17164s | the ball on the right |
| 17167s | it's big the absolute state of it |
| 17172s | ah |
| 17174s | just ridiculous this is going to |
| 17175s | generate a couple of gem every turn |
| 17178s | just one minion xqn |
| 17183s | everyone's calling him it for years |
| 17186s | yeah |
| 17187s | that's what we call him calling it for |
| 17189s | years |
| 17191s | all divine shields yielded rubbish oh my |
| 17194s | lord |
| 17198s | uh |
| 17204s | oh my ball |
| 17206s | oh |
| 17208s | it's all suck |
| 17209s | come on ball |
| 17211s | we hyped you up so much ball |
| 17214s | you want deflecto yeah i mean you have |
| 17216s | is obvious synergy with gems players but |
| 17218s | it's getting a little late right for for |
| 17220s | all this gem split divine shield like i |
| 17223s | don't know turn nine yeah i guess for |
| 17225s | the moment you're still happy to ride |
| 17227s | this along with the hero power as well |
| 17229s | uh to further bolster your stats |
| 17231s | yeah you'll feel a lot happy about it |
| 17232s | the ground shaker turns up you have this |
| 17234s | board instead oh yeah why look at this |
| 17236s | he's trying to get |
| 17238s | with a hydra in hand to get juiced by |
| 17240s | the other red hand as well |
| 17243s | i wonder how long he's been in hand |
| 17246s | you don't have to auto play you can just |
| 17247s | keep it there until you feel threatened |
| 17249s | to just play this giant hydra |
| 17256s | this is the look of the man who doesn't |
| 17257s | need to play his big hider anytime soon |
| 17262s | it's the look of a man who's about to |
| 17263s | hit xqm for a lot of damage |
| 17268s | it's just a bang right on it |
| 17270s | very close |
| 17272s | but a crucial difference because uh xcom |
| 17274s | is not in the danger zone quite yet |
| 17276s | still has a little bit more room to work |
| 17278s | with but east leaf and uh |
| 17282s | okay eastleigh's not dead quite but |
| 17284s | easily even frito is both moving into |
| 17286s | that danger zone now where they need to |
| 17288s | turn this around an island battlemaster |
| 17291s | maybe the card he needs to do so though |
| 17294s | yeah obviously just deliberately took |
| 17296s | that damage to make the battle master |
| 17297s | bigger obviously the control |
| 17301s | uh i don't think a 230 doomsayer is |
| 17303s | where it's at |
| 17305s | yeah i'm not sure if uh |
| 17308s | wow he's taking a lease here oh god that |
| 17310s | seems ambitious that seems very |
| 17312s | ambitious |
| 17316s | okay this is a big deal though with um |
| 17318s | the double |
| 17319s | overseer |
| 17320s | that's a large fast |
| 17324s | yeah yeah and the mind mark on the |
| 17325s | battlemaster is fantastic that's |
| 17327s | definitely where you want to be pointing |
| 17328s | that |
| 17330s | yeah this is honestly us now i just want |
| 17332s | to bite the bullet and say we messed up |
| 17334s | on this elise and get out of here |
| 17336s | right yeah yeah yeah agree |
| 17342s | maybe not |
| 17345s | oh |
| 17348s | picky eater |
| 17350s | all right okay probably the second he |
| 17352s | plays anything to sell through to get |
| 17354s | the jug or something to go with it it |
| 17355s | just gets eaten now right yeah of course |
| 17361s | well there's your monk here |
| 17363s | you really wanted it so he's after that |
| 17365s | fell back i understand but |
| 17368s | maybe he's maybe he's bigger than we're |
| 17370s | giving him credit for i feel like he's |
| 17371s | not as big as he thinks he is in this |
| 17373s | particular lobby but maybe he's fine i |
| 17375s | mean this ozil has got massive on this |
| 17377s | turn it is a huge herzl yeah this is |
| 17380s | massively scaled |
| 17383s | back now he's asleep again |
| 17387s | against taurus on this turn and oh my |
| 17390s | lord this is the problem i was talking |
| 17392s | about right you stay on this gem |
| 17393s | splitter |
| 17395s | divine shield kind of stuff and it's |
| 17397s | just getting outscaled heavily at this |
| 17399s | point in the game |
| 17402s | it is |
| 17407s | yeah |
| 17408s | again he's now sort of stuck there then |
| 17411s | i think ground shake is kind of the only |
| 17412s | out when you get to this spot |
| 17415s | you're now stuck in you know the bed you |
| 17417s | made for yourself |
| 17419s | yeah yeah you're not right |
| 17424s | make your own bed and you're stuck in it |
| 17428s | looks like a terrifying doctor who |
| 17430s | episode |
| 17432s | okay actually quite close as well to be |
| 17433s | fair uh to taurus on there that was a |
| 17435s | lot closer than i expected to be maybe |
| 17437s | i'm underestimating the power of |
| 17439s | uh |
| 17440s | this synergy between the divine shields |
| 17442s | and the gem splitters i mean it's |
| 17444s | definitely not ideal though i mean where |
| 17447s | he's at we've seen how it's ideal when |
| 17448s | we see alex's board which is the same |
| 17450s | thing but proper |
| 17452s | um but also you you've got so much of it |
| 17455s | you might as well try and make it work |
| 17457s | here |
| 17458s | uh is he taking torn |
| 17461s | to torn up the |
| 17464s | mackerel |
| 17466s | i mean |
| 17467s | he's got a hope really that the ball i |
| 17469s | don't think so i think the ball just |
| 17471s | needs to behave itself give him okay |
| 17474s | like that there we go |
| 17476s | that's triples |
| 17478s | that's everything |
| 17479s | ripple now he's got the other mecca as |
| 17481s | well |
| 17485s | he might get a golden one which actually |
| 17486s | wouldn't take |
| 17490s | or bristle or |
| 17492s | battle master at 16 health yeah yeah |
| 17494s | probably not quite the divine shield is |
| 17496s | the blind shield but i don't know if you |
| 17497s | see this |
| 17502s | this is actually really complicated how |
| 17503s | much more stuff do you want |
| 17506s | definitely want this |
| 17507s | and now what did you replace the rat |
| 17509s | with |
| 17511s | you have another gem splitter if you |
| 17512s | want it or you can just roll and see if |
| 17514s | the ball looks after you again |
| 17520s | also just pick up the deflector for the |
| 17522s | sake of picking it up |
| 17523s | kind of like that actually |
| 17526s | got to do something he's running out of |
| 17527s | time and these gems need to be played |
| 17529s | yeah just dump these gems on anything |
| 17531s | now just play cards |
| 17532s | doesn't matter if you get it wrong |
| 17533s | you've just got to get them out there |
| 17536s | on the nearest thing |
| 17540s | more gems |
| 17542s | yikes dude yikes only half that means he |
| 17546s | has no hand space as well he's less |
| 17548s | strong this turn is less yeah next turn |
| 17550s | that's huge yeah it's not just this term |
| 17552s | like you pointed out it wastes them so |
| 17557s | that's a lot of damage do you think how |
| 17558s | much these are gonna do these meccals |
| 17560s | over and over again the one who's |
| 17561s | putting on actually darkness so |
| 17563s | not so much there but yeah |
| 17567s | this is what you were talking about the |
| 17568s | hand space disaster as well |
| 17571s | all right we've got a 20 |
| 17575s | or redivine shield it's a really big |
| 17577s | deal but this is like |
| 17579s | just enough to lose for xq and i think |
| 17582s | they're just uh not quite able to get |
| 17584s | the win does look like east leaf was the |
| 17586s | first player to lose which means despite |
| 17588s | a win |
| 17589s | in the first round he then goes eighth |
| 17591s | and eighth two in a row that i think |
| 17593s | might be enough to see eastleaf out i |
| 17596s | think he's done running for top four |
| 17598s | xqn's chance looks good a little bit |
| 17601s | behind the pack but he should be able to |
| 17602s | overtake easily if he does well enough |
| 17604s | here we saw ritualists go out here as |
| 17605s | well just getting caught out there |
| 17608s | with a fairly nice looking board |
| 17610s | actually nothing special but seventh |
| 17612s | place without board would upset me yeah |
| 17614s | which means east leaf ends on eight |
| 17616s | fritzerous ends on |
| 17618s | uh oh no sorry because they finished |
| 17620s | joint last right so it's eight and a |
| 17622s | half for east leaf seven for fritters so |
| 17624s | definitely out for fritoris probably |
| 17627s | outfit eastleaf as well almost |
| 17629s | guaranteed he's had the divine shield |
| 17631s | off the ball twice now both times has |
| 17632s | just been trash |
| 17635s | it's really the role he wants as well |
| 17637s | there's a ground shaker by the way |
| 17639s | that's the one this wasn't ground |
| 17641s | shaking because i am honest i think we |
| 17642s | are right |
| 17644s | we take it we probably don't play it |
| 17645s | until we roll once or twice more |
| 17648s | right well chelsea also doesn't need |
| 17650s | many more unless you know i think i |
| 17651s | think of a choice down here because of |
| 17653s | the tournament situation you just go all |
| 17655s | in every turn |
| 17658s | sure he's on 12 points already just he's |
| 17660s | probably already guaranteed through but |
| 17662s | just just survived two more turns and |
| 17663s | he's definitely through |
| 17665s | okay |
| 17667s | gas caller the tempo pick does he have |
| 17669s | anything to beef up the stats on with |
| 17671s | uther there's a brand in the shop |
| 17674s | but |
| 17676s | i guess it's a little late in the in the |
| 17678s | day |
| 17679s | 15 on your murloc doesn't seem as good |
| 17681s | as just some random stuff that proc |
| 17683s | shields |
| 17685s | okay poisons one two three |
| 17688s | uh but the rest of the stats very much |
| 17691s | lacking uh |
| 17692s | why is it 31.89 |
| 17694s | why is it still at the end |
| 17697s | big man |
| 17700s | i mean it's again it's the problem you |
| 17701s | don't want your biggest |
| 17703s | minion to be stealthed a lot of the time |
| 17704s | because you want it to be attacked into |
| 17706s | you want it to be value trading over and |
| 17708s | over |
| 17711s | again it's kind of funny that it it's |
| 17714s | now just stuck on this board there's a |
| 17716s | 33 99 which is four that's making one |
| 17720s | um |
| 17721s | gem per turn it is funny |
| 17724s | just there |
| 17726s | oh no this could be the end not the hits |
| 17728s | for xq and at all |
| 17730s | he needs his 33.99 to go to the right |
| 17734s | and take out those two minions um he |
| 17736s | still loses so |
| 17738s | yeah he'll still die |
| 17741s | there unfortunately for him |
| 17744s | yeah |
| 17744s | end of the road for xqn finishing in |
| 17747s | sixth which i think won't be enough out |
| 17749s | of the money uh the running for top four |
| 17752s | yep another xqn performance three times |
| 17755s | a row we've had the chance to see him |
| 17756s | now but yeah another one that he's not |
| 17759s | going to win |
| 17760s | i'll still fight anyone who says he's |
| 17761s | not going to talk so he has to play |
| 17763s | tournaments to get to this stage |
| 17766s | but yeah it's going to be somebody |
| 17767s | else's time |
| 17768s | and alex has looked pretty good to be |
| 17770s | one of those people whose time it could |
| 17771s | be |
| 17774s | well as is alicia sand to be fair with |
| 17776s | uh i think what was a leapers comp uh |
| 17778s | that we saw there uh alongside the |
| 17781s | onyxia hero power and the |
| 17785s | ritual dagger |
| 17787s | okay so like kind of a half-hearted |
| 17790s | leapers attempt here uh rather than all |
| 17792s | in much more so just uh a |
| 17795s | selfless hero cop |
| 17798s | half-hearted leapers attempt yeah yeah |
| 17801s | it's a hopper's not leapers he's |
| 17803s | he's done well to make this work like he |
| 17805s | ends up taking the death rattle question |
| 17808s | yeah just some stuff |
| 17811s | oh my god he's all one |
| 17814s | uh |
| 17816s | leroy after you |
| 17818s | stick all the stats on the ground shaker |
| 17821s | okay clearly not now you've got the |
| 17823s | the necro so you can stick your neck |
| 17826s | around the shaker and move things around |
| 17828s | and |
| 17830s | again what's your aim here because i'd |
| 17831s | be very tempted to actually just sell |
| 17833s | off the gem splitter here and make sure |
| 17836s | i survive one more round because of the |
| 17838s | tournament situation |
| 17840s | okay so you sell gem splitter and you |
| 17843s | would have bought the necrolyte yeah i |
| 17845s | just just made the biggest board okay |
| 17849s | i don't know if it does make sense but |
| 17858s | all right a lot of attack a lot of |
| 17860s | divine shields it's gonna have to be |
| 17861s | good enough for taurus and though |
| 17863s | unfortunately his opponent has lots and |
| 17865s | lots of ways to get those little death |
| 17866s | rattle procs obviously with all the |
| 17868s | death threat minions of alicia san's own |
| 17871s | and just the iniquity of hero power |
| 17872s | coming in pretty clutch i think to be |
| 17874s | able to uh mow through these |
| 17878s | metals that would |
| 17889s | not going away |
| 17896s | it's gonna be the world's longest fight |
| 17899s | it really is okay when i say the beasts |
| 17900s | of |
| 17901s | mexico this is why |
| 17907s | someone's |
| 17909s | very boring fight |
| 17911s | uh alex still in it actually i think uh |
| 17913s | not falling down there |
| 17915s | and uh |
| 17917s | taurus and |
| 17919s | kind of undecided uh if he was gonna win |
| 17921s | a lot there he held that hydro survivor |
| 17923s | he turned |
| 17925s | held the other hydra for one turn and |
| 17926s | then just hit the triple the size of |
| 17928s | this thing that's huge |
| 17932s | bam |
| 17937s | whoa |
| 17938s | definitely staying hydrated |
| 17940s | baron over the battle master makes sense |
| 17942s | with selfless in hand i suppose |
| 17953s | it makes me laugh this is something i |
| 17955s | just find amusing in battlegrounds where |
| 17957s | good players play it's like yeah make a |
| 17958s | massive thing make a massive thing |
| 17960s | making myself oh jug yep plus two plus |
| 17962s | two and make another massive thing |
| 17965s | they just always divorced each other |
| 17968s | right and to be fair to young chang who |
| 17970s | we haven't seen in a while last we saw |
| 17972s | him i think he did hit the first |
| 17975s | dark gates right yes he just |
| 17979s | with one gold and one regular and he's |
| 17981s | scaling he's scaling really really hard |
| 17983s | on this uh over the last few turns |
| 17986s | with divine shields to boot as well |
| 17988s | the amalgam when when he had that first |
| 17990s | dart guys remember saying hey that might |
| 17991s | be okay for a poison he will slowly |
| 17993s | build up the health from it |
| 17995s | it's built up a bit quicker than i |
| 17997s | expected to be honest |
| 17998s | up to 95. |
| 18003s | looking to knock out taurus and he's on |
| 18004s | a relatively similar strat but one that |
| 18007s | i think could |
| 18008s | work quite well because the power of |
| 18011s | this poison is going to be dampened |
| 18013s | quite heavily against all the divine |
| 18014s | shields relying with the use of this |
| 18018s | necrolyte on going with a massive |
| 18021s | mackerel instead |
| 18023s | uh and with the |
| 18024s | uh very nicely spotted tunnel blaster it |
| 18026s | does mean that the divine shields on the |
| 18027s | other side are going to be a little bit |
| 18028s | less effective but could still |
| 18030s | potentially get there uh with just |
| 18032s | mackerels going back and forth as well |
| 18035s | with maybe a reactivation on the |
| 18039s | uh the deflectors as well but that's one |
| 18041s | deflector down right out of the gate |
| 18044s | yeah young chang also is one of the |
| 18046s | players like basically almost out of it |
| 18048s | but a top one or two finish could |
| 18050s | definitely swing that around so |
| 18052s | you can hang in there |
| 18055s | yeah |
| 18056s | not now |
| 18060s | yeah he's good switched around switch |
| 18061s | around |
| 18063s | oh yeah sorry uh taurus out fine good |
| 18065s | enough to get the truck down here yeah |
| 18066s | yeah tour sounds fine he doesn't care he |
| 18068s | he's been on |
| 18069s | hanging there as much as i can for some |
| 18071s | time |
| 18072s | even saw the ground shaker and the |
| 18074s | splitter i think that |
| 18080s | to get through to the top four alex jp |
| 18082s | finishing in |
| 18083s | joint |
| 18084s | fourth actually i guess it ends up there |
| 18086s | with uh taurus and also perfectly fine |
| 18088s | making it through to the top four |
| 18094s | okay |
| 18098s | now |
| 18100s | penguin son |
| 18106s | yeah so young chang really is is the big |
| 18108s | deal here if he's the one the winner |
| 18109s | he's probably in a good spot penguin |
| 18111s | probably out um haven't matched it but a |
| 18114s | lot of things have to go here we've got |
| 18115s | with jung chung doing well i think he's |
| 18117s | in trouble and then |
| 18120s | probably okay |
| 18122s | already have seven and a half points so |
| 18123s | it's |
| 18124s | the one that can make a big difference |
| 18126s | here i feel |
| 18127s | right so he's currently guaranteed |
| 18130s | five points at least which would bump |
| 18132s | him up to 10 |
| 18133s | which |
| 18136s | won't be enough there's apparently is |
| 18138s | not enough |
| 18139s | alex alicia |
| 18141s | oh |
| 18143s | it might be close i think |
| 18145s | so yeah trying to quickly do actually |
| 18147s | the bottom three all did that might |
| 18152s | it might already be set in stone |
| 18154s | actually right with the course of east |
| 18156s | leaf east would have picked up one more |
| 18157s | point exactly yeah |
| 18159s | it might be enough already actually yeah |
| 18164s | i'm definitely alex jp |
| 18166s | yep |
| 18168s | alicia |
| 18170s | yeah and |
| 18173s | chang |
| 18180s | yeah |
| 18181s | we're not in the world where penguin can |
| 18182s | actually get there then are we get to |
| 18184s | nine |
| 18186s | equal east leaf |
| 18201s | nobody needs to do anything |
| 18203s | uh oh unfortunate death rattle timing |
| 18206s | there with the divine shield being |
| 18208s | very ineffectual indeed the penguin |
| 18211s | sounds bored it's really blooming |
| 18213s | impressive here right |
| 18226s | ending up one damage off lethal here |
| 18230s | for not fritos who is already dead |
| 18239s | yep |
| 18244s | penguin is looking to get the uh the |
| 18246s | moral victory here at least or the |
| 18248s | morale victory rather maybe and |
| 18250s | finishing in first place rather than |
| 18254s | uh the seventh and eighth that he's had |
| 18256s | in the last two rounds |
| 18258s | yeah we saw that in the first lobby as |
| 18259s | well right with light lighting um |
| 18262s | again i made the point then i'll make it |
| 18264s | again this is |
| 18266s | the |
| 18269s | an ongoing series of tournaments so you |
| 18272s | know setting up your legacy |
| 18274s | is much easier if you don't come eight |
| 18276s | in every single lobby you play even if |
| 18278s | you're already out the running |
| 18282s | and nothing really happening on this |
| 18284s | shop |
| 18285s | huh uther to beef up your |
| 18289s | baron not really enough room to make |
| 18290s | that a realistic possibility |
| 18293s | another baron to try and hit the triple |
| 18295s | next turn |
| 18297s | yeah i like his second bound he's |
| 18298s | looking for something a bit more |
| 18299s | ambitious |
| 18302s | or whatever it is he did not find it |
| 18315s | penguin versus the ghost with that board |
| 18317s | is going to be interesting as well not |
| 18319s | interesting the fight is interesting |
| 18320s | he's got a whole turn to buy whatever he |
| 18322s | likes |
| 18326s | see the |
| 18328s | how strong these players are putting on |
| 18330s | early pressure people are dying |
| 18332s | incredibly early today in these like a |
| 18334s | lot of my lobbies players aren't dying |
| 18336s | till turn 10 or 11. mess around with one |
| 18338s | of these lobby legends people you're |
| 18339s | gonna if you pick the wrong |
| 18341s | question tournament |
| 18342s | that's the end of your game |
| 18344s | they're just gonna make massive things |
| 18345s | very quickly and kill you with them with |
| 18347s | their temper |
| 18349s | really nice voidlord here as well to |
| 18351s | counteract |
| 18353s | the leroy as it works out half of the |
| 18356s | time |
| 18357s | a good half of the time uh nice they're |
| 18359s | on away the leroy still survives because |
| 18360s | the buffs don't mind |
| 18363s | yeah it's really awkward requests |
| 18365s | stuffing your levois yeah this is a lot |
| 18367s | of stuff is on the left or on the right |
| 18369s | it's like |
| 18370s | places where you want things that you |
| 18372s | don't want to get back |
| 18373s | uh but all in all i really don't think |
| 18375s | it's going to matter i don't think that |
| 18376s | alicia can keep up with all these stats |
| 18379s | on the |
| 18382s | carrels |
| 18397s | yeah so we're coming down to heck and |
| 18399s | big mechs |
| 18400s | uh and mackerel's divine shield stuff on |
| 18403s | one side |
| 18404s | but penguin sand who has |
| 18407s | i mean what's |
| 18409s | relatively similar it's just like divine |
| 18411s | shields and big minions instead of |
| 18412s | spamming mackerel divine shield back and |
| 18415s | forth it's the the cleave |
| 18417s | on |
| 18419s | the hydra yeah but yeah like you say |
| 18421s | it's kind of just cars |
| 18423s | she kind of found his chance he had a |
| 18424s | whole turn against the ghost to set this |
| 18426s | up like one of these recruits |
| 18428s | he's got the advantage of the hydro |
| 18429s | right assuming all other things being |
| 18431s | equal at some point if you get the um |
| 18434s | extra shields then the hydra gets a |
| 18435s | three for one where everything else goes |
| 18436s | one for one doesn't need to get the |
| 18438s | shield set up there it is oh okay that's |
| 18440s | way better that's what we want to see |
| 18444s | yeah dark gaze will pause |
| 18448s | exactly what you were looking at |
| 18451s | for some shield removal |
| 18453s | no mantid to round it out would have |
| 18455s | been nice |
| 18458s | europa |
| 18460s | safety |
| 18461s | bigger than the hydro does the same job |
| 18463s | though takes up some shields |
| 18469s | all right because he doesn't want the |
| 18470s | faux beeper really to get um shielded |
| 18472s | but maybe he does depending on what your |
| 18474s | opponent's gonna do i mean i think |
| 18476s | everything gets shielded so much |
| 18478s | that |
| 18479s | you can't really you don't mind if |
| 18481s | everything gets shielded like poisons |
| 18484s | yeah everything's just going to get |
| 18485s | shielded with double golden power with a |
| 18487s | golden selfless |
| 18488s | it's one of those situations where if |
| 18490s | you if you know who's going first it's |
| 18491s | much easier to position as well |
| 18494s | like how greedy do you get with where |
| 18496s | you put the selfless what's going to |
| 18497s | attack in what order etc |
| 18501s | doesn't want this shield going right |
| 18508s | they're not about hit this uh |
| 18510s | she has the potential to be pretty |
| 18512s | disruptive dynamic duo but the mackerel |
| 18515s | is getting the exact perfect order with |
| 18517s | the torn in the way there wasn't really |
| 18518s | much oh done to disrupt it and that hit |
| 18522s | on the hydra i think it's going to be |
| 18524s | the final nail in the coffin for penguin |
| 18526s | sand not even really coming closer as |
| 18528s | young chang is able to get the win here |
| 18531s | a fantastic way to round things out in a |
| 18533s | top four that i think he was already |
| 18534s | guaranteed to get into once he made it |
| 18537s | through to the top four of this |
| 18538s | particular game but a stylish way to |
| 18540s | take the victory nonetheless yep happy |
| 18543s | face not surprised he's been quite a |
| 18545s | difficult route to get here today right |
| 18547s | he's had a a couple of not so good |
| 18549s | lobbies to start off with so he's in a |
| 18550s | bad spot going into this one so sort it |
| 18553s | out win the lobby and put yourself into |
| 18555s | tomorrow's action very nice to see and |
| 18558s | very well worked |
| 18560s | very well worked indeed another very |
| 18562s | cool instance of a different way to |
| 18564s | approach the uh the end game there with |
| 18565s | it focusing much more around divine |
| 18567s | shields there than we've seen from other |
| 18569s | lobbies before which is expected when |
| 18571s | you have a lot of mechs in there but it |
| 18572s | wasn't necessarily just the mechs right |
| 18574s | with the mackerel there was a lot of uh |
| 18577s | stuff with either mantis the selfless |
| 18579s | heroes whether you go for baron whether |
| 18580s | you go for poison or a bunch of big |
| 18582s | stats whether you buy 15 |
| 18585s | uh tox fins as well |
| 18587s | a very interesting end game there with |
| 18590s | the players going for similar but very |
| 18593s | differing strats in terms of the divine |
| 18595s | shieldage that they went for |
| 18596s | yeah i feel like this was a slightly |
| 18598s | more standard end game which in itself |
| 18600s | is a surprise right now like we're not |
| 18602s | seeing many standard end games what i |
| 18604s | would call standard which is you know |
| 18605s | get some shields get some ways to remove |
| 18607s | shields get some levels get some mantis |
| 18609s | see who wins when everything crashes |
| 18611s | into each other |
| 18612s | um you know mess around your positioning |
| 18614s | that sort of thing |
| 18615s | and like you described |
| 18617s | different ways to generate those shields |
| 18619s | different ways to proc those shields but |
| 18621s | that's a little bit more standard than |
| 18623s | some of the stuff we've seen where it's |
| 18624s | just been i've got a divine shield of |
| 18626s | toragoza because that's what i have on |
| 18628s | my board for no particular reason |
| 18630s | and so |
| 18632s | very diverse every endgame has been |
| 18633s | different to all the other end games and |
| 18636s | i think that will continue i think |
| 18637s | quests have made this |
| 18639s | very interesting to watch today |
| 18642s | very much so indeed without being our |
| 18644s | final game of the day we've still got |
| 18647s | the standings waiting for you to come |
| 18649s | and then we will uh reveal what our |
| 18652s | final lobby will be to be played out |
| 18654s | tomorrow where the meta game is going to |
| 18655s | be entirely different because it is not |
| 18657s | a predetermined number of games to be |
| 18659s | played it is the uh the check format |
| 18661s | where once you reach a certain threshold |
| 18663s | of points gained in order to be titled |
| 18665s | the champion you have to get a win no |
| 18668s | matter what uh no matter how many points |
| 18670s | you get afterwards it's only the win |
| 18672s | that can get you over that threshold to |
| 18674s | be the winner |
| 18675s | which again we've seen from players go |
| 18677s | for some pretty daring straps which for |
| 18679s | the most part i've kind of backfired i |
| 18681s | feel as soon as players get down towards |
| 18683s | the bottom they tend to stay there |
| 18685s | because they go for these risky strats |
| 18687s | and so far the tempo of all these quest |
| 18690s | uh approaches has been too strong and if |
| 18692s | you play it too greedy you just get |
| 18693s | steamrolled in the mid game |
| 18695s | yep that's definitely how it seems right |
| 18698s | now |
| 18699s | uh one thing i really like about another |
| 18701s | i like a lot of things about quest we |
| 18702s | just looked through there yeah there's |
| 18703s | confirmation it was kind of all over |
| 18705s | going into that last fight torres sand |
| 18707s | putting up a great job |
| 18709s | alex alicia sang going through and young |
| 18711s | chang taking down that lobby to get it |
| 18712s | through |
| 18714s | executing fans we'll have to wait it's |
| 18716s | another lobby legends but i'm sure he'll |
| 18717s | be back |
| 18718s | um but where was i what was i talking |
| 18720s | about derek oh quest i think one of the |
| 18721s | things i like about the design of quest |
| 18722s | when you're saying that everyone's going |
| 18723s | for the tempo ones |
| 18725s | is that |
| 18726s | if it ends up |
| 18728s | just being a quest meta and it's always |
| 18731s | the quick ones i can just change some |
| 18732s | numbers because of the way they work |
| 18734s | just change the number 18 to 16 |
| 18736s | somewhere and suddenly everything's more |
| 18738s | balanced again so there's gonna be an |
| 18740s | ongoing tweaking process i'm sure it's |
| 18741s | gonna be great |
| 18743s | there it is the final lobby the mega |
| 18745s | lobby for tomorrow to be played out uh |
| 18748s | pretty diverse uh selection of players |
| 18751s | in terms of the uh the strategies that |
| 18753s | we're going for today and uh even just |
| 18756s | in terms of those that we know well of |
| 18758s | rupa pusa zixo alex being the the kind |
| 18761s | of the very well-known repeat performers |
| 18764s | here in lobby legends but a lot of |
| 18765s | players that maybe know a little bit |
| 18766s | well uh less well uh like uh uh young |
| 18770s | chang in particular from the uh |
| 18772s | chinese uh server i believe the only |
| 18774s | player to have made it through from |
| 18776s | there is uh cool to see the different uh |
| 18778s | regions all making it through yeah and |
| 18780s | zigzag again made it through with that |
| 18782s | um slight gamble taking the devil hoping |
| 18785s | it would be enough points so |
| 18787s | personally glad to see him go through |
| 18788s | there with that decision just because it |
| 18789s | was a it was a brave decision to play |
| 18792s | safe |
| 18794s | which is something i don't get to say |
| 18795s | and make actually makes sense very often |
| 18797s | make sense |
| 18799s | it was a weird decision to play safe and |
| 18801s | it worked out well for him |
| 18802s | mathematically yes so a whole day's |
| 18804s | action tomorrow could be four lobbies |
| 18806s | could be 15. we just gonna have to wait |
| 18808s | and see can't wait for that |
| 18810s | yeah we shall indeed an entirely |
| 18812s | different kettle of fish once we do get |
| 18814s | there but for now thank you everyone so |
| 18816s | much for watching today we're back at |
| 18817s | the same time tomorrow i believe with uh |
| 18819s | the final day two of hearthstone lobby |
| 18822s | legends magic of azeroth so thank you so |
| 18825s | much for watching today and we'll see |
| 18826s | you then to find out who will be our |
| 18828s | champion |
| 18857s | there |
| 18921s | so |
| 18960s | wait is that 24 |
| 18962s | oh this could easily be hit right i |
| 18963s | think it might be |
| 18964s | oh it's 20 23. |
| 18979s | wait no a drawer |
| 18987s | he did |
