8s thank you
10s good morning children and welcome to a
13s very special class Unfortunately today
16s I've misplaced my syllabus so as any
18s good teacher knows it's time to wheel
19s out the TV and let someone else do my
22s work for me today is a very special
24s edition zeroing in on one particular
26s player who despite not taking the
28s victory did provide us with endless
30s entertainment and a few valuable lessons
33s along the way this is a sleepy special
37s edition and this is Lobby Legends graded
40s we pick up sleepy in his second game of
43s the day in the semi-finals Lobby playing
45s a nazoth with beasts now we all know how
48s this goes right you find yourself some
50s death rattles to stabilize and you pick
52s up some leapers you triple into a baron
54s you start tossing frogs left right and
56s Center well not sleepy sleepy instead
59s leans hard into an ad cards to your hand
61s Quest by picking up a pashmar and using
64s blood gem Synergy to juice his fish into
67s a lean mean hand filling machine this is
70s lesson number one in Sleepy nomics he
72s never quite does what conventional
74s wisdom dictates he quite literally hits
77s different
78s fast forward a few turns and sleepy
80s after rapid fire completing his quest
82s has the reward in play pilfered lamps
85s now has used that incredible power Spike
87s to hard transition into a thistle Naga
90s scaling once again the takeaway here is
92s how unconventional this is minimal
94s beasts no leapers however the fish is
96s still being used to great effect by
98s picking up a full golden gas coiler
100s death rattle he milks a ton of value
102s from his pashma and by using a LeRoy up
105s front the fish also gains functional
107s poison destroying whatever kills it this
109s is Sleepy 101 the board looks like a
112s collection of random cards but in his
113s brain he's created perfect Synergy it's
117s beautiful
119s so to the final fight as sleepy takes
122s down the lobby what's awesome here is
124s that even Beyond his unconventional
125s board he's adapted it on the Fly against
128s different opponents previously when
130s fighting against deflecto Mech boards he
132s moved his gas coiler up further and used
134s an early Leroy on all of the summons
136s from the coiler to decimate all of the
137s opponent's Divine Shields before the
139s Heavy Hitters come into play moving into
141s a final fight against another Naga board
143s however he recognizes that Leroy and
145s poison are far more important and so
148s adjusts the board accordingly securing
150s his own Divine shield and poison attacks
152s early to shut down as many big minions
154s as possible forget about that sack of
157s lamps Reno should be pilfering this game
159s and putting it in a museum oh it's a
162s Leroy Leroy that's big all right so it's
166s a tie at least Leroy got Divine Shield I
169s think sloopy's got this I think so too
171s yeah yeah the lero is just too difficult
174s lero trade one uh uh one for one and
177s then Ashley will trade two for two or
179s two for one so yeah
182s that's it
183s he barely wins
186s just when I thought I was out they
188s pulled me back in Sleepy just can't get
191s enough of that golden pashma action just
194s a quick visit here to make a point of an
196s issue many of us probably struggle with
198s sleepy has an early game Tempo quest in
200s Hidden dagger and so the Dilemma then
203s becomes how do you transition out of
204s your early death rattle scaling into
207s something that actually wins a high
208s level Lobby pashmar is the out here
210s allowing him once again to transition
212s into heavy late game scaling with a
214s thyssa although this game does not end
216s in a victory it's a great lesson in
218s Sleepy's mentality he's never settled on
221s the composition he has he's always
223s keeping late game transition options
225s open much more on that later
229s oh this game this game where do you even
232s start uh well here apparently sleepy has
236s secrets in stone active on Elise one of
239s the most powerful synergies available
240s power levels to six and starts rolling
242s hero Powers looking for win conditions
244s right away sleepy brain kicks in and he
247s absolutely swerves everyone double
250s overseer on the board and he's offered
253s double fell back but turns it down for
255s double what is going on here
257s well you can ask the man himself but I
259s would imagine looking at the lobby
260s makeup he suspects that demons have a
262s little bit too much work to do to
264s compete with all the Divine Shields that
266s are going to come at him from Mech
267s boards in the lobby and so he decides to
269s go into Divine Shield scaling himself
271s remember this board by the way remember
274s where we started
276s we get through one turn of relative
278s normalcy as sleepy picks up some omega
280s Busters and other Divine Shields to
282s start to build out a pretty impressive
284s looking Mech board but then this
287s happened sleepy hits an orgazord which
289s admittedly is the number one hit you're
291s looking for with secret sinstone and
293s guess what it's Naga time again baby out
296s of nowhere it's a full transition out of
298s the mix golden grease spot get out of
301s here and then just watch the Panic APM
303s set in on the last few actions of the
305s turn as he's able to secure the clutch
308s sequence of compounding triples into
310s finally finding the double Queen he
312s needs to secure the fight and complete
314s the transition this is absolutely
316s staggering and remember we were demons
320s two turns ago oh
325s but then what how does this culminate
327s what are we moving towards
331s transition
334s ridiculous
335s I love this man
339s oh
344s I want another one
347s Miss that's a completeness
361s oh man if he hits orcas over there's
363s like so much more stuff he can do oh
365s that's a triple Crystal
368s TJ doesn't have time
371s oh landed together mantis down
375s oh I did it that's insane okay good
378s enough good evening look at that look at
380s that that sigh from Sleepy he's like oh
382s my gosh what a transition though like
385s compare this board to last turn this is
387s unrecognizable
390s and one more quick one there is so much
393s going on this turn from both a macro
395s strategy standpoint and from a micro
398s execution standpoint point one why on
401s Earth has he bought a hogger well
403s because this is sleepy and sleepy is
405s never happy to just say okay I'm beasts
407s let's play beasts sleepy always wants to
410s be open to transition to a stronger
412s build and the strongest thing you can be
415s almost by definition in a pirate Lobby
417s is infinite gold hogar with wisdom ball
420s in particular the board duplication role
422s in the shop is a hogar's best friend
424s which is where the micro kicks in Sleepy
427s immediately drops the hogar on board and
430s starts rolling looking for the
431s duplication finds a gambler then as soon
434s as he's certain he can replace one
435s minion of his board he puts the Gambler
438s in play before rolling any further
440s meaning if he hits the dupe roll he'd
443s hit hogger and gambler for massive
445s economy game I've said this before on
447s graded but infinite gold is infinite
449s gold if you can and hit it and you're
451s skilled enough in executing you can
453s always transition to something stronger
455s than what you have although the dream
458s never quite comes to fruition for sleepy
460s here I absolutely adore the way this
463s game was played there's not on the board
465s anymore right oh is there not okay mate
466s they're not in the shop anymore roll
468s that shop away oh sorry I thought you
470s bought another one yeah okay I think you
472s can reborn this uh one of these gas
475s coilers solve the hogger get rid of the
477s dream
479s oh are the dream's alive oh boy that's
483s the shop that is the shop baby he's just
486s got to survive
489s and so to how it all ended in
493s heartbreaking fashion sleepy fell victim
496s to the another hidden body curse and had
498s his turn cut short by animations at the
501s most pivotal of moments now this is
504s normally where overly critical subtle
506s would show up push-up is non-existent
508s glasses and say well actually you know
510s the animation is there and you know how
512s long it takes this is me doing a mocking
514s impression of myself for some reason
516s very meta same plan around that
518s accordingly and don't get caught out and
521s well yes I do agree with Nerds Auto over
525s there to an extent asking sleepy to do
528s that is somewhat antithetical to
530s everything we've seen in this video so
532s far sleepy doesn't just play it safe
534s sleepy goes for it sleepy pushes the
537s boundaries and after watching this whole
539s tournament I don't think any of us would
541s have it any other way this ending sucks
544s but my hat goes off to sleepy for what I
547s think is one of the best individual
548s performances is we've seen so far in
551s Battlegrounds Esports thank you for the
553s ride friend no grading necessary for
556s this one sleepy is awesome that much is
558s clear so we can wrap things up early go
