994s	welcome everyone to Hearthstone at Lobby
996s	Legends magic of Azeroth after a
999s	stunning day yesterday with plenty of
1002s	diverse matches lots of different comps
1005s	and fantastic play from all 16 of our
1008s	players we've cut the field in half down
1010s	to eight to play it down in one lobby
1013s	today all the way through until we Crown
1015s	our champion and to help us make our way
1019s	through the muck and Maya See Clearly
1021s	all the action that is going on it's
1023s	Lorinda joining me on the casting desk
1025s	how did you enjoy yesterday's action my
1028s	man it was great I'm absolutely loving
1030s	the quest I'm definitely well known for
1032s	clearing up all situations by the way
1034s	not making the Mercury media thanks for
1036s	that
1038s	um but yeah yesterday was fantastic
1040s	um got a good look at many different
1042s	comps I think we're realizing that as of
1045s	now there is no sort of dominant comp
1047s	you go for from turn one or no dominant
1050s	card like green spot or anything you're
1051s	just looking for then you win the lobby
1053s	if you get it it's looking really good
1055s	and it's going to test these players
1057s	today and I hope that whoever wins pops
1059s	off like kid five does in that intro
1061s	because
1062s	why wouldn't you yeah exactly hopefully
1065s	not at the hands of a LeRoy bug this
1066s	time as well uh with that being still a
1069s	very impressive Victory uh nonetheless
1071s	but take a look at the tournament
1073s	overview that we have but we started the
1075s	weekend with 16 Battlegrounds players uh
1078s	we cut that in half down to eight today
1080s	and the big difference of course that
1082s	I'm very excited to get to cars for the
1083s	first time is the check format that we
1086s	are playing here which I think is just
1088s	the real secret source that makes uh
1091s	these Lobby Legends tournaments pop for
1093s	me yeah absolutely I think this time
1095s	around
1097s	um it's going to be even more important
1098s	because you really do have the option to
1101s	do things differently if you really need
1103s	that win if you don't think you're going
1104s	to get it done whatever you have the
1106s	choice to take a quest that is maybe too
1109s	hard maybe it's a bad MMR Quest but
1111s	occasionally we'll pop off and when you
1112s	Lobby and there's going to be real
1114s	decisions to be made if you've got 20
1116s	points do you want to take a sensible
1118s	Quest and maybe win the lobby anyway
1120s	because of tempo that you get or do you
1121s	just want to go you know what if I
1123s	complete this really stupidly hard Quest
1125s	I will win the lobby and I'm going to
1127s	risk it so looking forward to the latter
1129s	stages of today when players have to
1131s	make those choices
1133s	indeed cannot wait to see how the uh the
1136s	more
1137s	daring temerarious players if I may uh
1140s	will do well in the uh the check format
1143s	to get those wins because as you say a
1144s	lot of our players playing very safe
1145s	yesterday taking those third fourth
1147s	places which is not going to be enough
1148s	today as we need to see those very bold
1151s	strategies coming through which like you
1153s	say it does feel like it's coming more
1154s	from the quests than the uh the minion
1156s	types or the Heroes that you are going
1158s	for necessarily which for me is a real
1160s	breath of uh fresh air really spicing up
1163s	the meta game and uh the big thing that
1165s	players I think are maybe not talking
1167s	about enough or I'm starting to see come
1168s	up more and more is that the high armor
1170s	Heroes that traditionally weaker heroes
1172s	are moving up drastically in the pick
1175s	rate because you get easier Quest
1177s	completion which is just a lot of the
1178s	time far more important but in terms of
1181s	what our players are playing for in all
1183s	of these lobbies it's not about
1185s	finishing in the top half of the lobby
1187s	anymore as it was yesterday even though
1188s	the point distribution is the same it's
1190s	about trying to boost yourself up to
1193s	that 20 point threshold and then get
1195s	yourself a win taking down the whole
1198s	Lobby and so at that point you are
1199s	allowed slightly more uh you know like
1202s	you said MMR safe strategies right where
1205s	you're just trying to get a solid finish
1206s	finishing you know Thrift uh four thirds
1210s	something like that you do that a few
1211s	lobbies in a row and you're very happily
1213s	moving up towards 20 points yeah you're
1215s	looking to get your 20 points in four
1217s	lobbies ideally if you're not there in
1220s	five lobbies you are really taking a
1222s	risk so somebody will get there in four
1223s	average of five points per Lobby so I
1225s	want to win a couple of lobbies or
1226s	coming first and second make it easy for
1229s	themselves but if you're not there they
1230s	you give them one chance get there on
1232s	Lobby five if you're not there by then
1234s	there's just too many people shooting to
1235s	get it like somebody's gonna get it by
1237s	Lobby six or seven you really have got
1238s	to get your skates on to get to those 20
1241s	points to have a shot at this money and
1243s	it's worth having a shot at it because
1244s	the person who gets the win when they
1247s	already have 20 points will get that
1249s	first place and ten thousand dollars you
1251s	can have 30 points but if you keep
1252s	coming second you only get second place
1254s	overall and that's just how checks gonna
1256s	work to make it far more exciting it
1258s	means you go out winning the tournament
1260s	with somebody who won the lobby which I
1262s	think makes it really really interesting
1263s	oh yeah definitely makes it more
1265s	exciting and the uh the prize pool
1266s	creeping up relatively consistently you
1269s	know 500 000 each uh uh place but then
1273s	uh the big jump that you have up into
1275s	first place which we really love to see
1276s	because then again that gives you the
1277s	extra prize money but probably more
1279s	importantly to a lot of our players who
1281s	are streamers and content creators in
1283s	them in their own right getting that
1284s	Victory being able to call themselves a
1286s	Lobby Legends champion is worth its
1288s	weight in gold to go and gloat uh to all
1290s	your adoring fans uh which will be cool
1293s	to see for our players who are left in
1295s	with a big uh streaming following who
1298s	are a few of them always a big fan of
1300s	Fairly flat Thrice structures um it's
1303s	still pretty different by the time you
1304s	get from first down to 16th there's a
1306s	massive difference but something that
1307s	sort of creeps up slowly on you uh
1309s	massive bonus for willing to encourage
1311s	people to go after that that check
1312s	format prize of course but after that
1314s	I'm a big fan of everyone who gets here
1316s	gets a decent chunk of money to go home
1318s	with because that will give people the
1320s	chance to do it again and again and come
1322s	back for more so you're kind of that
1324s	rather than giving it all to one person
1326s	um here's some action from yesterday
1328s	some assorted at the moment and the
1331s	thing I think we'll see from this having
1332s	not seen this video is likely that just
1335s	a variety of stuff on offer at the end
1337s	of some of these games that's right yeah
1339s	we saw Rim go suit at riverpoosa two of
1341s	the uh the top Korean streamers taking
1343s	down the lobby which I'm sure a lot of
1345s	our viewers or well maybe not working
1347s	this broadcast but a lot of people
1348s	watching logging Legends uh were very
1350s	happy to uh to see and like you said the
1354s	the Naga strategy taking it down one
1357s	time and then kind of like Mech Divine
1361s	Shield almost getting there but the
1363s	combination of cooked books and mirror
1365s	turning out to be a really potent combo
1367s	one that I hadn't actually seen working
1369s	at that exact uh style before before we
1374s	transitioned over to staff of
1375s	origination taking down lobby with the
1379s	taragosas as well which is such a cool
1381s	one to see
1383s	and something that we do see overnight
1385s	um talking about double Quest combo is
1387s	that over overnight before the first
1389s	date in atheist was actually made better
1392s	so a lot of the things I said didn't
1394s	apply where they actually made the first
1396s	Quest the same as normal quests which
1398s	wasn't the deal uh to start with oh
1400s	really yeah dinathus has been buffed um
1404s	well it was buffed on Friday night for
1406s	the before playing Saturday so some of
1408s	those quests did look a bit easy I was
1409s	wondering if they put it down and they
1411s	had I really should have noticed that
1412s	and mentioned it but it wasn't announced
1414s	until yesterday evening what they're
1415s	doing
1417s	it's your phone already I mean I should
1419s	have noticed I've got I've got quite a
1420s	lot of data on quests and I knew that
1422s	janathia's first Quest was harder I just
1424s	haven't realized it had come down so I'm
1425s	annoyed at myself really as much as
1427s	anything yeah me too Lorinda the fact
1429s	that you did more work but not more more
1432s	work does
1433s	uh pathetic in in my estimation truly
1437s	embarrassing we'll try harder man but as
1439s	we saw that we got a good rundown of all
1441s	the victories that were taken down in
1443s	the previous lobbies winners of lobbies
1445s	not necessarily making it all the way
1447s	through though as we did see uh on day
1451s	two uh right once we got to that point
1455s	um
1456s	it was easily fright after taking down
1458s	the first Lobby unable to clutch it out
1460s	uh as he lost the uh the subsequent two
1462s	lobbies which is always a heartbreaker
1463s	to see when you take down the first one
1465s	and then you're feeling on cloud nine
1466s	you're thinking surely this is just
1468s	unusable at this point but then
1470s	everything quickly tumbles by the
1471s	wayside which is the uh the drama that
1473s	we love to see no one is ever truly safe
1475s	especially as we said in this Czech
1478s	format because even if you are in the
1479s	last place position with zero points
1481s	after five rounds of play it's still
1484s	winnable if you just win every Lobby
1486s	you're gonna get there eventually you
1487s	just have to keep doing so uh which uh
1490s	for our more daring players as I said
1492s	could be a chance for them to get the
1494s	job done uh but with that all said and
1496s	done the stage being set Lorinda are
1499s	there any strategies that you are hoping
1501s	to see today in terms of the uh the
1504s	quests or the win conditions that you're
1505s	partial to that we maybe didn't see
1507s	yesterday uh from these uh Lobby of
1510s	players
1512s	um strategies no I think we've saw a lot
1514s	of things going on that we can expect
1516s	think maybe we see some APM go off we
1518s	didn't really okay
1520s	always exciting to watch somebody just
1522s	go through a million cards in a turn
1525s	like a Milhouse I don't think we see a
1526s	single Galley we explained like that's
1529s	right here I would like to see picked
1530s	somebody picked a yoga over one in game
1533s	one which
1534s	for me is an iffy pick I I don't like to
1538s	argue with players miles better than me
1539s	but that seemed unusual I think the
1543s	galley Wicks with Quest is just a really
1545s	really good hero because you can
1547s	complete so many things you buy a lot of
1549s	things at a turn get the death metal
1550s	things you need get the taunts you need
1552s	whatever you need to do I'd like to see
1554s	that happen but I just want to see more
1557s	wisdom balls because that one was quite
1558s	boring apart from the tox finish it
1560s	offers I think yeah wisdom was always a
1562s	good one but as we can see here a good
1565s	selection of players uh for me I think
1567s	the standout for a player that I wasn't
1569s	all too familiar with but was very
1570s	impressed by was SSA yesterday I really
1573s	liked his play style overall and I think
1576s	showed a good meta understanding fairly
1579s	risky plays uh but always bringing it
1581s	back to just decent finishes uh
1583s	throughout the weekend whereas of course
1584s	there'll be plenty of fam uh fan
1586s	favorites as well as we said uh rangosu
1588s	River Pusa coming back for a second
1591s	attempt at taking down the uh the
1593s	victory here now after narrowly missing
1595s	out on it last time and then of course
1597s	uh a lot of our European fans also
1599s	cheering for zixo I'm sure to finally
1602s	take down uh one of these big
1604s	tournaments again it's been a while for
1605s	our boy yeah it really has uh be nice to
1608s	see Zig so do well River person just
1609s	just to add to that because I did sort
1611s	of go on about xqn having done it
1613s	yesterday has reached the second stage
1616s	at least of every single Lobby Legend So
1618s	wow you get top 16 on ladder you get to
1620s	the first stage then you play a Lobby
1622s	get in the top before you get to the
1624s	second stage top four again get to the
1626s	finals
1626s	um he has reached the top the second
1628s	stage of that every single time so top
1631s	four the initial Lobby every single time
1633s	so he's extremely well versed in lobby
1636s	Legends he's played
1637s	43 Lobby Legends lobbies since the start
1641s	of it which is possibly the highest it's
1643s	one of the it's one of the highest
1644s	visual dappy may have played more but
1647s	yeah just have your scan through some
1649s	really boring stats there for you
1651s	um also zigzo has been here before I've
1653s	ever posts have been here before as you
1655s	mentioned and Alex has been here before
1657s	and so he's been here before so four
1658s	return players and I think you mentioned
1661s	since they say he looked really
1663s	comfortable here yesterday he looked
1665s	like he's just having a good time seeing
1666s	what happened played some Battlegrounds
1668s	and that attitude usually gets you a
1670s	long way in competitive play because
1671s	you're so laid back you're just having
1672s	fun
1674s	also been told speaking of river peace
1676s	that apparently made a golden murloc on
1678s	turn one as as Reno in the test game who
1682s	knows maybe he'll employ that in the
1685s	actual tournament you never know yep
1688s	cheers for that subtle
1689s	I thought I was giving highly useful
1691s	information social's trying to outdo me
1694s	for the first time in his career he'll
1696s	get there one day
1697s	he will indeed but as you're saying uh
1701s	we are going to be looking carefully at
1704s	the uh the different styles of play of
1707s	our competitors the uh the risk versus
1709s	reward that we talk about here quite
1711s	consistently
1713s	um we we've talked a lot about the early
1716s	ways that you can go for third places
1718s	right where you can just go for these
1719s	high Tempo quests that are easy to
1721s	complete look for dancing Daryl as much
1723s	as possible as well what are the early
1725s	indicators that you're looking for in
1727s	this meta game that you actually have
1729s	the ability to go for a first place what
1731s	like signposts along the way indicate
1734s	you this could be a Lobby winner
1736s	um decent easy Quest or just easy Quest
1739s	honestly it doesn't have to be
1740s	particularly decent just complete your
1742s	quest first get yourself to Tavern six
1744s	is is one of the ways to do it
1747s	um just have good early roles just have
1749s	good hero Quest Synergy like if you're
1753s	here on Quest work together there's so
1754s	many I'm not gonna list any but there's
1756s	so many ways that can turn out
1758s	um you look at that and go hang on
1760s	yeah I'm fine here let's just not die
1762s	for two or three turns I should be able
1763s	to Rock It Up or again with with
1765s	anything just some good early shops
1767s	let's get going and
1769s	again getting to tier six isn't that
1771s	important in terms of MMR gaining in
1773s	terms of doing well but if it's I'm in
1774s	check and I want to win the lobby
1776s	getting to tier six becomes suddenly a
1778s	lot more important you can just what
1780s	everyone says is fiddling around on
1781s	tiers three and four completing their
1783s	Quest you can get to six just start
1784s	buying the fail bats and stuff that you
1786s	need depending exactly what you need and
1788s	I think that's the sign that you are
1790s	going to get there if you can just race
1791s	ahead not really be scared for a couple
1794s	of turns yeah that is fair but it's
1796s	interesting right because the the most
1798s	ambitious use of your gold generally
1800s	like you say is to to level up to six
1803s	and start finding these real powerhouse
1804s	units uh and taking a bunch of damage
1807s	but locking out the game once you hit
1808s	that point now it feels like with Quest
1810s	that's not necessarily the case anymore
1812s	like a lot of the
1815s	winning synergistic cards feel a little
1817s	bit lower down the tavern here like
1820s	obviously Baron rivendare is going to be
1822s	coming up very often on Tavern tier five
1824s	you then of course have the parrot
1825s	that's going to synergize very nicely
1826s	without all the way down on three a lot
1828s	of the time if you can get stolen gold
1830s	to go alongside that or parasol in order
1832s	to boost up that Strat with the
1833s	trickster as well like these are very
1835s	common things that you're seeing and
1837s	then you know if you're going beasts
1839s	very often five is enough like you say
1841s	uh Mex maybe you need to go to Six in
1843s	order to get there is like the one time
1845s	you're looking to really boost up to six
1846s	but murloc spamming poisons that often
1849s	doesn't need to be there as well and
1850s	given that we're seeing this very common
1852s	prevalence of either death rattle
1854s	strategies as I was talking about or a
1856s	bunch of divine Shields with selflesses
1859s	uh glow scales uh amber Guardian in
1862s	there as well with taragoza perhaps
1864s	there's a lot actually going on I think
1866s	on these lower Tavern tips when you are
1868s	Lobby which hasn't always been the case
1870s	yeah I'm not so sure so yeah I agree
1873s	that those things do win lobbies and are
1875s	often going to they're not so sure you
1876s	always know you're going to in that
1878s	situation like you just get there you
1879s	start doing your thing and suddenly
1880s	you're in front it's like oh wow
1882s	um so those people may not get the early
1884s	signs they're going to win until the
1886s	comp is complete like getting really big
1889s	amalgam suddenly you give it some poison
1891s	some Divine shielding off you go
1893s	uh seems to be seeing fewer levoys over
1896s	the last couple of days I think it was
1898s	so busy scrambling to make their own
1900s	comp and their own big stuff they
1901s	haven't got time to counter their
1902s	opponents until we get to the last two
1904s	then yeah
1907s	um
1908s	of origination that's something you're
1910s	going to win a Lobby that's another big
1912s	one yeah but just complete that and off
1914s	you go do it yeah get that with taragoza
1917s	and you're absolutely laughing but the
1918s	the kind of the the trailer bed
1920s	breadcrumbs for Leroy becoming less a
1922s	little bit less powerful is like you
1925s	know players are playing a lot of divine
1927s	Shields right so we're seeing a lot of
1929s	tunnel blasters knocking around which
1930s	makes it a little bit scarier and then
1933s	you can obviously counteract that with
1935s	the Uther but players are going to six a
1937s	little bit less often so Uther becomes
1938s	less of a player and so therefore Leroy
1941s	stops being as much of a possibility
1942s	bearers having several that Leroy would
1945s	actually be quite good against all of
1946s	these Divine Shield comps but again the
1947s	tunnel Blaster uh kind of counteracts
1949s	that which is interesting to see
1951s	um obviously it's gonna need to be the
1953s	case of
1955s	uh oh sorry I'm just being told is uh
1958s	how the uh the lobby is starting
1961s	um
1962s	yeah obviously the case of which uh
1963s	minion types you're going to be seeing
1965s	in the lobby which I'm going to be
1966s	keeping a close eye on here because
1968s	we've seen the beasts pop up being very
1970s	powerful as we expected Mex as well but
1972s	still looking for some of these more
1973s	support uh minion types that we hope to
1977s	see that could come up pretty clutch as
1980s	we see here Alex with bran murloc's in
1984s	the lobby are we tempted don't know
1986s	Silas is so much free stuff so I
1989s	realized so much free through has so
1991s	much Synergy with beast but beasts
1993s	aren't in that'll be a bit of a turn off
1995s	I think here pick what you like here I
1997s	would probably I think Silas is the safe
1999s	pick here I think Zoella might be a bit
2001s	more of a gambly pick for me but bran
2003s	also very interesting
2005s	I mean I'm an if it's the brand gamer I
2007s	love murlocs man it's like easily my my
2009s	favorite minion type to play but like
2011s	you said you play Rogue in standard of
2013s	course you love murlocs I get to play
2015s	lots of cards that's uh that's what I do
2018s	uh as we do see the Silas being picked
2022s	in the end dinathrius and murloc homes
2024s	insta snap picked as we expected and
2027s	with five Ellie's or demons or three
2030s	battles by Minions that red hand with
2032s	just right in the middle perfectly uh
2035s	pushed into frame the seller mental that
2037s	looks pretty strong yeah let's do this
2040s	you've got to do this like red hand a
2042s	little bit difficult sometimes to do
2044s	well with but look at this stuff you
2046s	can't turn this down
2047s	and again seeing the the easier builds
2050s	as well coming in for denethius on that
2052s	first Quest
2054s	um red hand sort of a neutral
2057s	quest to a large degree I think it might
2059s	be very very slightly tougher than
2060s	normal but it's one of the more average
2063s	quests and getting that at turn one you
2064s	can get that going oh my God it's gonna
2066s	be huge
2069s	all right let's see if our old Palmer
2072s	log homes can solve the mystery going
2076s	into turn two it is against AFK so it's
2078s	a bit of an easy mystery to solve it not
2081s	not one of uh
2083s	Doyle's greatest stories I will admit
2088s	with no people in it and no corpse like
2091s	yeah nobody no one there was no crime my
2095s	God
2097s	yeah the one kind that Watson actually
2100s	oh my he's done it he's done it already
2103s	oh my God no shot
2106s	as The Spectator tries to Mouse over the
2109s	bugs and after his quest there we go
2111s	okay he's got it done anyway
2113s	yeah the whole murloc homes thing about
2115s	this one is which pixel do you click
2118s	yeah solve the crime and unlock the
2120s	secret passage that tells you what's
2122s	going on
2124s	anti-synergy of course because redhan
2126s	not doing anything this turn oh no I I
2129s	hated my red hand doesn't provoke on
2131s	turn two although I did actually get the
2133s	other day Specter plus red hand so it
2135s	puts a card in your hand at the start of
2137s	each turn and then Buffs it which was
2139s	six energy that felt great because on
2141s	the first turn I accidentally didn't
2143s	leave a Minion for red hand and then got
2144s	uh bailed out anyway uh but here we go
2147s	uh AFK finally coming online and double
2151s	taragoza does open up some pretty spicy
2156s	options are there any staff gamers in
2158s	the chat ah the amazing and again says
2162s	they say just enjoying himself and I'd
2164s	love to see that in all in all
2165s	competitive players as long as you're
2166s	still playing your best it's so much
2168s	easier to play when you're relaxed yeah
2170s	I think he might be one of the favorites
2172s	to do this
2173s	and you know all jokes aside there are
2174s	actually a few quests that synergize
2176s	with this right we have staff of
2178s	origination number one uh the golden uh
2182s	stolen gold sorry is huge as well to
2184s	Golden these up very nicely
2187s	um you can make a lot of stuff work
2189s	yeah Tower goes there seems to be an
2191s	interesting minion now I think it's got
2193s	so many bits and pieces that make it
2195s	work compared to what it used to have
2197s	you know over time you can build it into
2199s	a decent minion in its own right even
2202s	without necessarily the huge amount of
2205s	help it used to have to get
2207s	foreign
2210s	[Music]
2215s	I'm not really feeling with these you've
2217s	got a couple Divine shields in the shop
2220s	but you know that's only with uh
2223s	selfless that's not got much Synergy
2225s	overall
2227s	how do you feel about the bribe you're
2229s	taking dragons anyway okay yeah he Bales
2231s	yeah can't blame him a nice shop overall
2236s	you know he gets to buy and sell the
2238s	uh Gambler get a couple of uh selfless
2242s	heroes in order to give permanent Divine
2244s	Shields to the taragosa which is a very
2245s	very big deal uh here on Craig
2250s	we've got
2253s	with go anima bribe yeah you already
2256s	have a scallywag which means more
2258s	minions are going to be dying a little
2259s	bit more quickly
2263s	these all look expensive and difficult
2265s	relative to what you want at the moment
2268s	like I don't know I feel like Devil's in
2269s	the details I this is totally coming
2272s	from A New Perspective but I think it's
2274s	a little bit underrated in what it does
2276s	like it can give you some pretty decent
2278s	uh consistent buffage right just to keep
2280s	up in the mid game even if it doesn't
2282s	necessarily give you a strong Direction
2284s	uh that you want to be pointing your
2286s	overall game plan out no I like Devils
2289s	it's just very hard uh by nine is going
2291s	to take a while and that's the problem
2293s	here I think
2295s	um maybe I'm wrong I mean he is here's
2297s	on crack he's gonna have a lot of gold
2298s	in a couple of terms time when he
2299s	chooses to activate so that turn he'll
2302s	complete maybe factor that in and maybe
2304s	going into his nine gold turn
2308s	we'll have a lot going on there
2311s	oh zigzo seems to be cobbling together
2313s	any old rubbish on Mayo which usually
2316s	means there's a triple locked in I don't
2318s	think there was actually from what I saw
2320s	they had like a couple dragons couple
2321s	murlocs bit of this bit of that uh but
2324s	yeah nothing really going all too well
2327s	right now as we see taking a look
2330s	through the quests on our spreadsheet
2332s	here
2333s	three players on parasol as we see very
2336s	often indeed rim gosu on cooked books
2339s	that's pretty exciting can lead to some
2342s	cool games and River Pusa on Snicker
2345s	snacks at the end of your turn two
2347s	friendly minions trigger their battle
2348s	cries which can end up being pretty
2351s	spicy uh zixo does hit that triple that
2354s	you were just talking about yeah and he
2355s	has also completed obviously you see the
2357s	quest there already locked in so has
2359s	taken a huge amount of damage
2363s	um but should be able to get out of it
2365s	like buffing up this swampy on the right
2367s	to have some attack and a huge amount of
2370s	Health right should be enough for him to
2372s	get through a couple of fights but I
2375s	think he's working out how far he wants
2376s	to go here with this triples he wants to
2379s	level here right this is a clean level
2382s	if you are any more health
2384s	but down at 22 it gets scary oh boy
2387s	zixer though is brave if uh nothing else
2390s	foolhardy one could say as there's a
2393s	real good shot that he ends up below
2394s	that threshold of 15 on this turn
2396s	relying as you said on the swampy to
2399s	keep him alive but he did he did chicken
2401s	out of the ultimate play there which was
2403s	to lock in the triple and start oh yeah
2406s	the madman and just hope to take a six
2408s	that's what he wanted to do that's what
2409s	everybody wants to do in Battlegrounds
2410s	when you see that situation but yeah
2413s	deciding to bail and just get on with
2414s	his life I think is fair
2416s	however because of the quest completion
2418s	a little bit earlier it looks like he's
2420s	gonna be able to survive this one
2421s	comfortably and stabilizing at 22. you
2425s	know that gives you one maybe two
2427s	unfortunate uh losses against a spiking
2429s	opponent which is okay for the moment he
2432s	can make this
2433s	make this work
2436s	okay let's have a look at the poster
2438s	first real look
2439s	oh two triples okay
2443s	he's been weak for a while but you know
2445s	he is still at 39 Health he could juice
2448s	this for another turn theoretically if
2451s	he wants you on 39 yeah
2454s	but it's you you're gonna take you're
2456s	gonna start taking a lot of damage but
2458s	would you ever consider like nothing
2460s	this turn and the next turn level sell
2463s	the seller mental and then sell the
2466s	imprisoner and buy yeah absolutely he's
2469s	also on um someone he's got two summon
2471s	12 so he's gonna complete his quest
2472s	which is the Battle Cry thing if you can
2475s	get a decent Battle Cry off
2477s	what Battle Cry he hadn't got any battle
2478s	cries in play that was a problem for him
2480s	so maybe he needs to slow down meanwhile
2482s	zigzo
2483s	raise a goal just because he had a
2485s	couple dragons uh on the board
2488s	or are we taking little Rag and trying
2490s	to start scale yeah it's a tough one
2494s	um I'm a Little Rock fan but I suspect
2496s	razor Clause the pick for a good player
2498s	I would take little back here in a
2500s	heartbeat and just go for it but that's
2501s	why I end up dying a lot
2504s	yeah I get it
2508s	not something that he's especially happy
2509s	to see though is this is just uh you
2511s	know a 6A an a at 10. it's fine it'll
2514s	hopefully keep him alive for a little
2515s	bit longer but it's not the uh the lobby
2517s	Buster he was hoping for as River Pusa
2520s	doing exactly what we were talking about
2522s	I think looking for some six drops here
2524s	as he does go up against zixo who is
2527s	going to absolutely blast him out of
2530s	this game absolutely but this is the
2532s	Synergy we're talking about earlier at
2533s	the start you've got um gray bell with a
2536s	quest of summon more minions like that's
2538s	the sort of synergy you're looking for
2539s	in your quest it might sound obvious but
2541s	it makes such a difference to have that
2543s	sort of thing going on so you don't have
2544s	to go out of your way to complete your
2546s	quest it just sort of happens
2549s	um that's the sort of stuff that allows
2550s	you to make those aggressive tierings
2552s	whereas if your quest is just nothing to
2554s	do with your hero you do tend to have to
2555s	stay down on three or four and like you
2556s	said at the start of the show that's not
2558s	a disaster it's just not as good as
2560s	being on six because if you get there
2562s	naturally that's great
2564s	here we go though
2567s	all right what are we looking at let's
2568s	see some triples man triples all over
2570s	the board murloc homes danathrius
2572s	everybody hitting those big triples
2574s	crack as well okay we're gonna have to
2576s	take a tour around the lobby as uh
2578s	unfortunately River poos are after
2579s	building yourself is the one player
2580s	that's taken the longest of all uh to do
2583s	anything here we are going to see two
2585s	triples here surely you could take 15
2587s	this turn who cares all right I'm going
2590s	to show us some of the others Alicia San
2592s	with oh imp Mama plus golden mind Mark
2596s	in hand that's strong that's huge I love
2599s	it
2600s	it's a bit early for a man tid I don't
2602s	see a dragon on the board
2604s	I want this mama
2608s	my magic Queen sort of is a two-for-one
2611s	your big thing or guaranteed to kill
2613s	your big thing card right later on you
2615s	want to be the person with the big
2617s	things at the start of the game you can
2618s	pick up a manted later you're on five
2620s	you're gonna have no trouble getting to
2621s	six and picky up mantis if you get late
2622s	on
2623s	wow interesting okay
2627s	I mean it's already very strong
2629s	obviously
2631s	that's obviously very very nice with
2633s	this galleyway we'll gobble that up now
2636s	do you want to freeze this for the cat
2637s	go and go
2639s	bull Exodia surely not but it was there
2642s	I think it's a little too shaky as we
2644s	see oh not a bad set of triples right
2647s	yeah
2649s	not at all but this is the turn he was
2651s	fearing but you know whatever really
2652s	it's fine very nice Tempo is the big
2656s	thing like not necessarily scaling uh
2659s	but that's fine uh for River Pusa here
2661s	he can just rely on these big minions
2663s	start to find battle cries to synergize
2665s	uh with this Snicker snacks hero power
2668s	uh like uh mind Mark in order to buff
2671s	this mama uh I don't know maybe some of
2674s	them or something just yeah a jug of
2676s	reef Explorer like anything to
2680s	start creating some more value as well
2682s	as it's a cool 15 to Alex who is the
2685s	first player to enter the dangers
2690s	uh yeah uh Prime morphine Lookout is
2693s	also a really good card to have if you
2694s	get the battle Club I just sit there oh
2696s	yeah some murlocs every turn get some
2697s	free stuff see where that goes later
2701s	aragosa his triple they're all getting
2703s	so many triples now
2705s	oh not great here right
2710s	no are we actually looking for obviously
2713s	manted
2717s	yeah I guess uh nadina would be pretty
2719s	good for permanent divide Shield Eliza
2721s	yeah like you say for permanent Buffs on
2723s	the taragoza like a lot of the time here
2726s	you take the genie just for the money
2729s	but on 19 Health you haven't got a long
2731s	ride for that money to sort of take
2733s	effect
2734s	yeah these all suck
2737s	it feels like it kind of always sucks
2739s	now I I rarely feel happy to see it
2742s	one thing that Genie's got a little bit
2744s	better in some ways because of the buff
2746s	to go and also because you can get a rag
2749s	on five so it's not like a disaster like
2751s	it used to be but yeah I know what you
2752s	mean it's not like it was when it first
2754s	got released when it was rather good
2757s	even though there's some obvious Synergy
2759s	here available for SSA with the double
2762s	trickster and the golden taragosa it's
2765s	all flimsy it might not hit the
2766s	terrigosa he might not survive up until
2768s	that point he's at 19 health and looks
2770s	pretty weak on the board and uh speaking
2773s	of pretty weak Alex JP down at 10 Health
2776s	looking to stabilize on this turn while
2778s	keeping the crackling in hand in order
2781s	to get the buff with red hand but he's
2786s	up against a pretty sizable board on the
2788s	other side
2790s	yeah it turns out that denethius is an
2792s	absolute like nightmare who knew that
2795s	was going to happen after completing
2796s	quests on turn two huh
2799s	as long as he can kill off pip he's
2801s	gonna survive though which he is
2803s	guaranteed to okay
2805s	one final Lifeline I think he was
2807s	expecting should he die to for it all to
2810s	just be over but he's got a last chance
2813s	does as well taking a full 15 down to
2816s	one we now have three players in that
2819s	danger zone
2821s	yeah this has been a brutal Lobby and
2823s	something we've seen today this is a
2824s	sample size of one I'm gonna comment on
2826s	but I think the players getting more
2828s	used to completing quests more naturally
2830s	it's giving them time to concentrate on
2832s	getting triples and stuff like you're
2833s	supposed to
2837s	that makes any sense at all where's when
2840s	the opening days is like oh how do I
2842s	complete my quest God this is an awkward
2843s	thing to do now we're just like complete
2845s	my quest while steering towards my
2847s	triples okay six are going all in on the
2850s	murlocs after having missed uh you know
2853s	bran uh some of the other more powerful
2855s	uh cards to go alongside this but toxin
2858s	fantastic card to get off Tad to boost
2861s	your
2862s	damage quite substantially which is
2864s	maybe a little bit lacking at this point
2865s	for him and then gold swolving into I
2870s	don't know bran uh again as I said worth
2875s	noting he's buffed that
2877s	um
2877s	don't strike at every turn possibly with
2880s	one or two exceptions but basically
2881s	every turn since he completed exactly
2884s	with this in mind you've now got a 41
2886s	Health poison minion he he knew this was
2888s	coming later that'll be why he did his
2890s	exact play
2892s	and if you needed to stabilize at one
2894s	Health uh mirizon intermounted is a
2897s	fantastic way to do so
2901s	and keep the moves on there
2904s	uh yep for the extra chance uh more
2907s	procs get that Divine Shield yeah
2910s	you're a person yeah that'll do oh
2914s	that's pretty decent what's he against
2916s	oh he's against the AFK who was
2918s	struggling right
2921s	big taragosa though clearly uh says hey
2924s	was able to hit some of those tricks to
2926s	death rattles on the taragoza all about
2936s	win for six so they're absolutely
2938s	enormous
2939s	yeah and the people on low Health here
2943s	surviving I mean they might be able to
2944s	turn it around especially zigzo's case
2946s	but surviving people those extra points
2947s	is massive how does everyone survive no
2951s	way
2953s	oh this is so sick I mean there's a
2955s	clear divide now right between top three
2957s	and everyone else where they are just
2958s	all in so much danger of dying Rim goes
2961s	through one of those players up at the
2963s	top uh alongside a river Pusa again
2965s	interestingly enough at the top of a
2966s	Lobby together getting golden taragoza
2969s	as an option is that something on it you
2972s	like at this point that's that's the
2974s	question right do you want an absolutely
2976s	giant Terra goes or were you happy with
2978s	the two sort of good car Tower goes you
2980s	already had uh because the rest of his
2982s	board is one poison amalgam and nothing
2985s	else
2987s	so
2988s	I decided on 27 he's got the time to go
2990s	for this
2992s	very clutch nadina poison Divine field
2995s	amalgam we will happily take
2999s	at remedies uh really seeing it like
3003s	there's a the obvious anti-defined
3004s	Shield Synergy but
3006s	yeah see what he choose to do it's not
3009s	like he's got much of a board for this
3010s	turn
3014s	man this cookbook is actually getting
3016s	pretty juicy as well he's gonna uh sorry
3018s	gonna want to start cycling through
3020s	these dragons at some point because this
3022s	sparring partner is already a pretty big
3024s	upgrade over them yeah I mean any dragon
3026s	now with nadina is going to be a big
3028s	deal as they get bigger as well
3032s	[Music]
3033s	it's a real weird one he does have uh
3037s	with uh
3039s	sorry golden scalawag and more
3041s	importantly golden Eliza which is huge
3043s	of course but it doesn't look like an
3045s	overwhelmingly powerful board right
3048s	no it really doesn't
3050s	um small poisons are not great early
3053s	they obviously find that their poisons
3054s	that can get bigger for you but yeah
3057s	compared to Craig who's doing the same
3059s	thing just better on the other side
3063s	oh yeah look at this golden Eliza of his
3066s	own
3068s	gobbling down on the death rattles a lot
3070s	of stats just needs to chew through the
3072s	poisons and I guess not activate this
3074s	mama too many times
3076s	like that perfect
3083s	okay and with that said oh we have our
3086s	first fatality of the lobby uh yunchang
3089s	on murloc homes
3093s	zigzo is starting to really get this
3096s	board together now
3098s	going for man he was also going for
3100s	taragoza so many players going for the
3103s	the taragoza strats in this lobby but
3104s	his was just significantly smaller than
3107s	yeah both the rim gosu and
3110s	uh Cesar say
3114s	adding the health together on this one
3116s	poison murloc to sort of just make it
3118s	absolutely nutty
3121s	kind of a tough choice here without bran
3124s	again burgogle is good obviously for
3127s	like plus 10 plus 10 or whatever but not
3129s	an insta pick without thinking about it
3132s	you know yeah
3134s	see where this poison goes he's going to
3136s	keep it about fine
3139s	yeah I guess it is a good poison Target
3140s	because the swole fin with poison at
3143s	this point is obviously not irrelevant
3145s	but much less impactful yeah he he needs
3148s	it right now because he's on one Health
3149s	I think he'd like to have held on to it
3151s	for a bigger Target later you build some
3152s	things up with the staff but just
3155s	really doesn't have time just needs him
3156s	in a couple of fights he could win the
3157s	lobby but I don't think he will because
3158s	he has got a couple of decent minions
3161s	here but
3163s	there's a lot of good stuff going on
3165s	this Lobby especially if it goes to look
3166s	at the state of this
3170s	yeah obviously looking to start beefing
3171s	up these stats with the cooked book not
3173s	sure how big it is but I'm guessing it's
3175s	at least like plus 15 plus 16 or so at
3179s	this point you can go see one of the
3180s	first players we were told
3182s	um to
3183s	sort of show
3185s	multi-server action to the Korean
3187s	audience one of the first players to
3188s	play Warrior curving career as well and
3191s	is expected in a new meta to do well
3194s	apparently that's kind of his thing one
3195s	of those Innovative players who you know
3198s	comes first second seven eighth kind of
3200s	xqn style if you like and is also one of
3204s	those players who just looks at a new
3205s	set and just goes yeah I got this I'll
3207s	be fine
3208s	one of those players who also put six so
3211s	in a pretty scary position all these
3214s	Divine Shields just making quick work of
3216s	those small poisonouses poisonouses
3219s	poison Minions on the other side and try
3221s	as he might get so close to finishing
3224s	them off but the clutch nadina just too
3226s	powerful as Rim goes he sends a second
3229s	player out of the lobby in 6-0 to be
3232s	joined by
3234s	no others it seems everyone else just
3237s	holding on in there a very poultry
3239s	Health totals yeah that will irritate
3241s	zigzo not just because zigzo is easily
3243s	irritated but because I think he just
3245s	got to the point where he can expect to
3247s	sort of finish fourth or fifth with that
3248s	you know it stabilized he had decent
3251s	stuff going on
3252s	and just ran into a tough match but
3255s	there's a lot of tough matchups here
3257s	and at least on board oh close to making
3261s	this work now uh he's got the golden
3264s	uh Eliza uh so Tony I guess can be
3269s	discarded at this point not really
3271s	necessary all too much anymore
3275s	without the golden yeah without golden
3278s	Baron there's not an obvious
3281s	upgrade right now like khadgar is okay
3283s	but you'd have to lose some board spaces
3285s	to make it work which makes you a lot
3287s	flimsier
3291s	I mean Tony is a a pirate I guess for
3295s	your
3296s	yeah yeah yeah
3300s	lose the Observer at this point maybe
3304s	You observe the overseer don't want to
3306s	lose subtle
3308s	I've only been getting that long all
3309s	weekend and it's never going to stop
3311s	being wrong now I mean yours does make
3312s	sense it has like seven eyes if there's
3314s	one thing it can do it's observed
3317s	exactly overseer observe there's not
3319s	much difference and overseas is just a
3321s	more Sinister sort of Observer right
3324s	I can't die
3328s	all right well let's see if Alicia's
3329s	hands strategy to hold off for the
3331s	moment not commit too hard into the full
3333s	scallywag scam combo
3337s	oh he's gonna need a lot of stats
3339s	against all this uh Divine Shield static
3342s	on the taragoza
3345s	does have time on his side as well
3347s	though with 35 health so this car
3349s	doesn't look near complete but looking
3351s	at his hand he's got nearly a golden
3353s	selfless nearly a golden Baron khadgar
3356s	waiting to go in the wings
3358s	shouldn't take too much damage most
3360s	terms because he's got a good enough
3361s	board yeah survive
3365s	D into Tara goes so yeah we've got it
3369s	whoa
3371s	and if he's winning already against that
3373s	tough board he could end up complete the
3376s	full Exodia which I think is pretty much
3377s	unbeatable if you do get it as they say
3379s	we see they're going out in sixth yep
3382s	Taurus had taken it down on dinathrius
3384s	once again going for a lot more oil in
3388s	on the dragon's comp actually I think
3389s	than a lot of the other players still
3391s	with of course that Divine Shield of
3393s	Tara goes so that every player in this
3395s	Lobby feels like they're going for but
3397s	with a more of a leaning towards
3400s	uh
3401s	uh caligor sorry as well yeah in order
3404s	to beef up those stats which is going to
3405s	be much needed because uh
3409s	I just want to know how Alex Howard
3411s	alive looking pretty big but now it's
3414s	gone okay yeah
3416s	um Alex like we saw three turns ago held
3418s	that cyclone in hand and must have held
3420s	it for a while because it was big on the
3422s	left we just saw there and it's just
3424s	still alive and you look at that board
3425s	compared to all the other things we're
3427s	seeing it's like just a ton of garbage
3429s	that he's just had to keep together to
3431s	get the job done he's doing really well
3433s	sneaking his way into fifth place at
3435s	least and now he's got the ghost as well
3440s	oh son
3443s	lacking chance to make much progress
3446s	here so just gonna have to do the
3447s	old-fashioned Cali build my things up
3449s	but I just Spam battle cries pretty soon
3452s	yeah agree it's getting some good ones
3455s	though you know mirrors on Uther these
3457s	actually have positive effects on the
3458s	game
3461s	this question now is you do you want to
3463s	just waste your smoker and maybe even
3464s	your toxic just to get some numbers on
3466s	the board this turn
3469s	the answer is yes he's on eight health
3474s	wasting two gold and two great battle
3476s	cries just for some extra numbers
3477s	because it's so important he doesn't die
3479s	here yeah I'm missing out on red hand he
3481s	could have sold and bought into uh
3486s	the uh Anil and Battle Master but I
3488s	guess the the extra stats on this step
3490s	more than make up for that it's turned
3493s	13 he's decided that people are going to
3494s	start dying and just surviving turn 13.
3497s	that's it if you can survive this turn
3498s	he'll get so many points for survival
3500s	and he also knows what he's against he's
3502s	pretty rough yeah yeah try absolutely no
3505s	shot
3506s	and you know you can respect his play he
3508s	knows his opponents are going for the
3509s	same kind of thing as him with Divine
3510s	Shield of taragoza so he sells his own
3512s	wait because it's third place
3515s	wow Alex has died to the ghost
3518s	after all that survival and limping up
3520s	the ladder I thought he clipped into
3522s	third Liverpool's is just getting
3524s	absolutely murdered by crack who has
3525s	gone full Exodia by the way that uh
3527s	khadgar was on the board there oh my God
3533s	what on Earth that we have large dragons
3536s	versus Exodia here
3539s	um depends how complete the Exodia is
3541s	but my money's usually on Exodia in
3543s	these situations all right so counters
3546s	to Exodia Lorinda if you're ready to
3550s	hear them
3552s	void Lord sorry
3554s	can counteract the scallywork because
3559s	it's
3560s	attack is too low so the scallywag will
3563s	not die and therefore there is no board
3565s	space
3566s	correct I like it and these are
3568s	particularly large scallions they are
3570s	big so they are very countable
3573s	uh are there any others that we could
3576s	potentially be looking for to counteract
3578s	this fine I've got all my default
3580s	answers acolyte no longer in the game
3582s	um I mean the answer is yes but
3585s	springing to mind I can't think what
3586s	they are but anything you can give taunt
3588s	to that is small
3590s	like uh
3592s	tunnel Blaster is I mean it's like
3595s	roughly the same shape as void load or
3596s	is that a bit weirder the utilities that
3598s	might blow up the the scallys if you're
3600s	not careful which cause a problem yeah
3602s	rock thank you in prisoner here we go
3604s	Soto's rattling them off for me
3605s	appreciate it
3607s	um yeah anything anything small and
3608s	taunty
3610s	all and taunty none of this is small and
3613s	taunty just relied on Brawn I like it no
3616s	messing around with tech cards let's
3618s	punch him in the face as it's just Clash
3620s	of the Titans right now whose comp can
3622s	make more stats
3624s	so no golden Baron is one of the big
3626s	deals here
3632s	all right no board space going second
3634s	for uh Alicia San is a little
3637s	unfortunate
3639s	oh okay it's taunted it's fine okay this
3643s	is nowhere near enough at the moment
3645s	needs to get that Golden Bone I say
3647s	nowhere near enough it's large it's
3648s	close but yeah the poison is going to
3651s	wipe things out the large Tower goes is
3652s	going to work things out you can take
3654s	out Leroy or the poison Divine Shield
3657s	but I don't think either is quite
3660s	possible man taking a lot of good hits
3662s	though yeah the mansions
3666s	oh it is close
3669s	yeah gets the tie damn yeah
3673s	Good Hits more time to find that golden
3675s	Baron yeah doing the job there but like
3679s	we say it's more time for Rim ghost who
3681s	to find the counters right he's just
3682s	going to roll straight through for it
3683s	there's the imprisonment there's the
3685s	molten rock yeah if you want them
3687s	they're the the baby versions of the
3689s	counter not the full void Lord shabang
3691s	that you want
3693s	especially as they've positioned in a
3695s	way so that their
3700s	uh selfless hero goes first so you need
3703s	a taunt that gives a taunt to be 100
3705s	safe right I mean the taunt he has is
3708s	actually big enough to survive one hit
3710s	as well at the moment just because those
3711s	were so big I think for sorry for
3714s	for this galleys to survive hitting it
3716s	right oh okay yeah yeah because it's
3720s	actually they're like got 10 Health I
3723s	think those scallies from memory
3726s	I think it's one six and one ten but
3728s	yeah yeah it's all about positioning
3731s	because if you put the selfless hero
3734s	first you can of course attack in if you
3736s	go first
3737s	and then that takes out the taunt
3740s	math time do you want the Divine Shield
3742s	or do you want the the khadgar
3745s	yeah he's going for super CAD guards
3747s	here yeah I respect
3749s	I'm now going to try and roll for the
3750s	baron if he finds the baron I think he's
3752s	in a great spot but if he doesn't maybe
3754s	not so much
3756s	and now of course the taunt outs aren't
3758s	so good because you know both scalley's
3760s	got taught nothing else has taunt
3761s	they're gonna die anyway now blah blah
3763s	blah so suddenly that defense isn't
3765s	quite as good
3770s	oh no of course the cooked books what am
3772s	I talking about the uh the void love
3775s	would have been too big anyway yeah oh
3777s	yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah apologies yeah
3780s	I know we're both back in Old School
3782s	mode because it's double Cali versus
3783s	Exodia like yeah yeah yeah anyway yeah
3786s	yeah yeah yeah no that's totally my bad
3788s	apologies I know I'm sat here too I
3791s	think it's fine because who expects this
3793s	today
3796s	foreign
3800s	the most powerful comp in the game apart
3802s	from maybe full-blown leapers
3806s	um it's so hard to get this combo when
3809s	you get it look how powerful it is like
3811s	nothing's standing in the way of this
3813s	yep absolutely nothing it's just too
3816s	much
3817s	and what was interesting here was how
3819s	when he was sort of building this comp
3821s	he didn't Panic he kept a lot of the
3823s	piece in his hand and we saw him beating
3825s	I think this exact opponent way when he
3829s	sort of wasn't anywhere near having the
3830s	full comp Bill he just had he was one of
3833s	the cad guards he had a Tony on the
3835s	board he had the Eliza he had the the
3836s	mountain Queen it's the bits and Bobs
3838s	just chilling yeah took his time to
3841s	transition slowly into this comp and
3842s	yeah now he's just winning the lobby
3846s	first run of the day picking up those
3848s	seven points yeah love to see it from
3850s	Alicia sound relying a lot more for once
3852s	it feels like on uh a classic comp like
3856s	instead of hodgepodging sewing together
3858s	with quests as most players have been
3860s	going for which has generally been
3861s	strong enough to win new lobbies in this
3863s	instance we are just seeing the uh
3866s	classic scallywag combo which honestly I
3869s	didn't even know if that would hold up
3870s	in today's meta game with so many high
3872s	Tempo quests knocking them out in the
3873s	mid game I think that for me was the
3875s	Real Genius of that game plan was being
3878s	able to survive all the way through with
3881s	uh such clever pickups along the way uh
3883s	to survive until that point with the
3885s	selfless Heroes being such a key
3886s	component yeah very nicely done even at
3889s	the end there like you say with a
3890s	selfless just not willing to go crazy on
3894s	the comp until the very last minute that
3896s	mantis Queen doing so much work in the
3898s	penultimate fight there and yeah let's
3900s	just sound taking a first first of all
3903s	the day like it's just great we've
3906s	talked about how you don't see many
3907s	traditional comps there were two of them
3909s	there
3910s	yeah exactly that in itself is a Verity
3914s	right now I don't think that's a pattern
3916s	we'll see com continue
3918s	I do think Exodia will win every time we
3920s	see it built but I don't think we'll see
3921s	it built enough it's like
3923s	this is an exceptionally powerful Lobby
3925s	and people seem to get their Quest done
3926s	exceptionally quickly whether that's
3928s	because players are getting better like
3930s	this this patch is only five days old or
3932s	something or whether it's just because
3934s	that's how that Lobby panned out not
3936s	quite sure I have to wait and see yeah
3938s	just interesting to see as well how
3940s	taragosa crazy everyone seemed to go in
3944s	that Lobby like obviously some players
3946s	were just sort of forced into it we saw
3948s	uh AFK and SSA getting double tarragosa
3951s	off the Discover sure you're gonna make
3953s	that work in some way uh we saw the
3956s	dragons from taurusan actually ending up
3958s	throwing away a giant taragoza at some
3960s	point because he just needed more attack
3962s	on the board and the effects of the
3964s	atromedes but you know always
3966s	interesting to see that the way these
3968s	lobbies work out where sometimes you're
3970s	just given a bunch of selfless or
3972s	nadinas or whatever and taragosa became
3975s	a super strong mid-game stabilizer uh
3978s	even if players couldn't capitalize on
3980s	it to turn it into a win
3982s	yeah it does seem to have been something
3984s	that certainly you asked me about it
3986s	yesterday I was like yeah Tower goes
3987s	It's okay but it's looking like more and
3989s	more a go-to card for a lot of the
3992s	players uh the quest to interact with it
3994s	as you mentioned at the start of the
3995s	show there's lots of little ways to make
3997s	it big rather than make it the
3998s	Cornerstone of your
4000s	your build you just put it in there and
4002s	it builds itself
4004s	kind of obvious really when you read the
4005s	card
4008s	yeah look at this comp now summarize
4011s	dude it's just so much stuff
4013s	oh beautiful like in the days of say
4016s	nagas like a load of 1990s 100 hundreds
4020s	being built by this comp wouldn't
4021s	necessarily even be enough not every
4024s	time but now you don't have opponents
4026s	with Bunches of 300 300s anymore it's
4028s	just not a thing that happens anymore so
4031s	the whole Army of hundred hundreds and
4033s	plus some 30 30 smacking into you along
4035s	the way that's just enough now to get
4037s	things done
4038s	would you look at that we end up with a
4040s	very interesting breakdown in terms of
4042s	points Alish San Rim goes to taking down
4044s	first and second place uh Yun Chang zixo
4048s	and say interestingly interestingly
4050s	enough sorry who I thought was doing
4051s	pretty well in that Lobby uh finishing
4053s	in eighth seventh and sixth but then
4055s	three players all at Four Points with a
4057s	pretty harsh drop-off uh down two points
4059s	for say so while it is still obviously
4062s	as we can say at any point anybody's
4065s	game here uh interesting to see how
4067s	Cesar say zixo and Yun Chang will start
4070s	to turn up the heat and as you say try
4072s	to close down that 20 points within five
4074s	lobbies now I think is like a reasonable
4077s	thing for them to aim for uh even if
4079s	it's starting to look a little ambitious
4081s	for yunchang at zero points after the
4083s	first Lobby and the roller coaster of
4086s	emotion Alex went through in that
4088s	particular round too like looked like
4089s	gonna come eighth gets into the top five
4092s	fights the ghost it's like yeah I gotta
4094s	get even more up there two people die
4096s	and then so do you it's like yeah we'll
4100s	offered it a few turns ago he'd be
4101s	delighted but nearly scammed his way
4104s	into third place from nowhere overall
4105s	he'll be happy but yep four points for
4108s	Alex and we'll have to wait and see how
4110s	this develops after the next couple but
4111s	one thing's for sure if you're going to
4113s	get to 20 points quickly Alicia sand is
4115s	the one who obviously is in position to
4117s	do so indeed so let's see whether or not
4120s	he can capitalize on that strong
4122s	performance in our first lobby with game
4124s	number two after this break

4325s	welcome back everyone to Hearthstone
4326s	Lobby Legends magic of Azeroth if you're
4330s	joining us now it's a great time to do
4332s	so we're right near the start of the
4334s	final day here where at the end of
4336s	today's action we're gonna have our
4339s	winner of Lobby Legends number five
4340s	really getting through them at this
4342s	point and as you keep talking about
4343s	feels like we're getting closer to uh
4346s	well firstly seeing a lot of our fan
4347s	favorites take a victory which is
4349s	something that a lot of players are
4350s	hoping for of course with River Pusa and
4353s	ramgoso a lot of Korean fans really
4354s	hoping for a victory for one of their
4356s	favorite streamers but as the year goes
4358s	on I feel like we're going to be getting
4359s	closer and closer to a repeat Victor at
4362s	some point with so many of the same
4363s	players qualifying with such consistency
4366s	to all these Lobby Legends yeah I'm
4368s	excited to see who that's going to be it
4369s	won't be today although we do have four
4371s	people returning to the the finals
4374s	um but obviously you can't win two
4376s	without winning one I think the other
4378s	person probably in the best spot to do
4381s	that just keeps returning time after
4383s	time getting close time after time so so
4385s	there's a play I think keep an eye I
4387s	think in third place at the moment
4389s	already as well
4390s	oh everyone's in third place because
4392s	they all got four points that's right I
4394s	remember now it's a long time ago
4396s	um so someone to keep on there that'd be
4398s	my favorite of these players to get the
4401s	the two wins obviously we've got to keep
4403s	an eye on previous winners as well but
4406s	again xqn who hasn't even made it to
4408s	today but made it to yesterday a player
4410s	that we're always going to talk about in
4411s	terms of can they do it Waterloo player
4414s	that's already won once
4416s	um not in this one but is a player that
4418s	could definitely win it twice and again
4419s	we've got many more Lobby Legends still
4421s	to come so let's see who gets it done
4423s	twice but first of all let's see who
4425s	gets it done once Derek um anyone catch
4427s	your eye over the two days
4430s	otherwise I was talking about the start
4431s	I think says to say has been playing
4432s	some uh very nice uh uh Battleground
4436s	sorry over the last day or two but it
4438s	can't be overstated that uh Rim goes to
4442s	uh and well I mean also rip of pizza
4443s	finishing in in third there as well
4445s	really feel like they are consistently
4447s	doing well in these lobbies just uh
4450s	strong finishes for the most part
4452s	throughout and again I really think that
4455s	for that Lobby there for Alicia sound it
4457s	was just very bold to go for the the
4459s	scallywag comp because even though the
4461s	shop was kind of telling him to do so
4463s	it's still a very very obvious decision
4466s	and it lobbies like these as soon as
4469s	players get a whiff of the fact that you
4471s	are going for such a uh
4474s	inflexible comp for the most part right
4477s	like very very powerful as we saw but
4479s	very counterable if they have the
4481s	ability to do so uh you're gonna be in
4483s	trouble because they're going to counter
4484s	that very effectively whereas in lower
4485s	MMR lobbies that might not be the case
4487s	so very very bold strategy to go for it
4489s	but as we saw because of the cook's
4491s	books countering it was in fact not even
4493s	a possibility which we eventually
4495s	realized uh therefore making the
4497s	strategy all the better so just again a
4500s	really well played to Alicia Sam
4502s	Shadow walk of course it's Shadow walk
4504s	being shown to us we know who's
4506s	controlling this so it's always going to
4507s	be Shadow walk
4509s	um yep you've got the nargos you've got
4511s	the Pirates you've got the Elementals
4513s	makes the shuttle walk go pretty crazy
4516s	pretty early but it can go wrong
4520s	I'm but glad that we're being shown this
4522s	uh next year portrait as well because
4524s	yesterday I spent about 10 minutes
4526s	trying to figure out what on Earth that
4528s	picture was because I had no idea that
4531s	that hero skin was Elixir for the
4533s	longest time but now I know I'm aware
4536s	that apparently dragons can turn into
4538s	humans and vice versa because
4541s	reasons
4544s	all right we've got ourselves a brand
4546s	game I'm a happy chappie and uh uh shell
4550s	collector right out the gate uh
4552s	obviously though no murlocs in this
4554s	Lobby which for me is as I mentioned the
4556s	previous game where my head is at first
4558s	of all with bran uh what are you looking
4560s	to do in a Lobby where that isn't a
4561s	possibility honestly I don't play Brand
4564s	much without murlocs myself but just
4565s	gets value in a general like a very
4568s	early brand especially as I think battle
4570s	crys work well with some of the quests
4572s	as well
4574s	um just get value just get stuff like
4576s	jug is always a card I go to when I hear
4578s	the word Battle Cry it's far more
4579s	powerful cards than that available but
4581s	it's it's just the go-to card right it
4584s	just gives you so many stats so quickly
4587s	and I think basically just looking to
4589s	not necessarily do anything
4592s	special
4593s	just just get Relentless value uh you
4596s	see players
4597s	who are building a proper comp just go
4599s	for value smogger for instance would be
4601s	a card that's often very powerful or um
4605s	look out with the murlocs as you know
4607s	you've got Network just going through
4609s	now Reef Explorer it's just endless
4611s	stuff yeah yeah all the mowers ons and
4614s	so on but nothing nothing stand out
4617s	unless you get to Pirates maybe nothing
4618s	stand out crazy powerful just Relentless
4622s	small stuff going on
4624s	we also have read it for the first oh it
4627s	feels like a gallowakes which I know you
4629s	are a big fan of it's also the only hero
4632s	with uh Zero armor class in this Lobby
4634s	which is not something in the previous
4636s	matter you're expecting to see all too
4637s	often but I feel like the Zero armor
4639s	class uh classes being very very popular
4642s	and high up the tier list I wonder if
4645s	this is going to work against River
4646s	poosa given that he just has so much
4647s	less Health to work with than the rest
4649s	of the field and again we'll have a
4651s	slightly Harder Job completing his quest
4654s	slightly Harder Job completing his quest
4656s	but he's galliwitz
4658s	good point it doesn't matter that's my
4661s	um
4662s	hot take for the tournament if your
4664s	Galley Wicks just none of it matters and
4666s	he's really not getting the good choices
4667s	though right like
4670s	had no tokens available limited Battle
4673s	Cry value with uh the closest he's got
4675s	being the swabby is this just a buy sell
4678s	buy I know that's what you're supposed
4680s	to do with gallowakes to just buy and
4682s	sell and spend all your money at return
4684s	but this doesn't feel like it
4686s	yeah you can find what something I found
4688s	with gallywix is you find a spot to do
4690s	it and it's constant adding up numbers
4692s	and sort of counting and not making
4694s	mistakes which is definitely a weak
4695s	point of mind so get to the end there's
4697s	a gold left over every time for no
4699s	reason
4699s	uh but just find a turn where you go
4702s	okay this is the turn I'm just going to
4703s	sell everything and buy two good minions
4704s	or whatever and then the turn after it's
4707s	gonna get value you don't have to have a
4708s	massive pop-off of those massive
4711s	pop-offs are nice uh what you need is to
4713s	have one or two turns where you just get
4715s	a huge amount of stuff for
4718s	for free basically you loan it to Bob
4721s	and then buy it all back next turn
4724s	ping the anomaly in hand ready for the
4727s	quest and this will be game a defining
4729s	for everybody but particularly for
4731s	gallywix this could be nutty yeah
4733s	exactly down uh 34 Health taking a
4736s	couple of rough losses already we need
4737s	to see a big turnaround here on this
4740s	quest uh none of the ones that instantly
4743s	synergize with gallyworks spend a lot of
4745s	money buy a lot of minions play a lot of
4747s	minions all those ones not currently
4749s	available and so we're looking at mirror
4752s	Shield yeah to just it's specific minion
4755s	types but that could work very nicely
4757s	with galleywix where you're just buying
4758s	and selling a lot shuffling through to
4760s	get yourself some powerful minions
4762s	yolktastic Tasties is offered for young
4766s	Shang but seeing as we're in a
4768s	competitive Lobby here it does honestly
4771s	feel that refreshing the lobby uh the
4772s	tavern that many times is probably a
4775s	little expensive a little bit tough yeah
4777s	I think that's one of the quest things
4778s	that we might see get cheaper over time
4780s	as well very hard to get done but
4783s	apparently Alex has taken the ad 18
4786s	cards to your hand and spin the wheel so
4789s	he's taken the York Tasties oh no shot
4797s	well
4801s	I mean again like parasol has just been
4804s	the uh the fallback option of this Lobby
4807s	Legends right we've seen very
4808s	consistently people taking Paris over
4810s	took it last uh game three times players
4812s	ended up with it and here as well uh
4815s	seemed very possible but deviating away
4818s	I think it's a victim Specter that was
4821s	the yes it was yeah okay
4826s	uh Alex with wheel of Yorkshire right
4830s	okay interesting Master Hand he's got a
4834s	coin to come from The Collector he's got
4835s	an extra Elemental to come so he's gonna
4837s	get this on pretty quickly by the look
4838s	at it right yeah but just hold him back
4840s	for bran as well right now
4847s	Mr smart he wins this fight anyway and
4848s	then he can openly get double coin
4850s	double quest uh progression on the
4852s	following turn as well once he gets bran
4854s	in hand
4857s	okay
4860s	that was oh no sorry that is a Battle
4862s	Cry there you go okay you're very happy
4863s	with that to the honest we haven't
4865s	mentioned um because it hasn't happened
4866s	almost at all this weekend we haven't
4868s	talked about curves much but Alex is on
4870s	the old-fashioned Warrior curve here
4872s	okay
4873s	um because the Brand's staying down to
4874s	make sure he completes the brand there's
4876s	decent battle cries on one with the yeah
4878s	yeah yeah
4879s	uh with the shadow walk options
4880s	basically
4882s	um that's
4886s	man this is good uh the level was gonna
4889s	cost like minus 15 or something if you
4891s	didn't level up there with it the bran
4894s	and triple swabby
4896s	and he's just kind of turboing this
4898s	Quest as well it is halfway there
4900s	already yep
4903s	a triple as well
4906s	especially if you've taken shot if
4908s	someone takes a shadow walk here with
4909s	this setup this is what um why shoulder
4912s	what can be good right
4913s	yeah true
4916s	it's the same deal you get really really
4918s	quickly to the higher levels for no
4921s	particular reason yeah you don't get to
4922s	cheat anymore with millions of triples
4924s	when you get there but this is this is
4925s	what you're looking for
4930s	things look a little scary interestingly
4932s	enough though for Rim gosu despite
4934s	picking a classic Tempo hero of alak
4936s	here due to a strategy of going three on
4938s	three I believe and clearly not catching
4940s	up all too much uh in a bit of a rough
4943s	spot falling down all the way to last
4945s	this place has completed the
4949s	Quest though right maybe not actually
4952s	that's not I'm sure I still thought I
4954s	was looking at I'm going mad ignore me
4957s	oh wait what are we doing
4960s	chill Alex and now can we reduce this by
4964s	four and level again down dude
4972s	okay discover bug unfortunately
4977s	shot dude this is insane he's gonna have
4980s	York Boston yogging all over the place
4983s	next turn
4989s	Peggy
4992s	need another pirate to go with it what's
4994s	the other one
4996s	another
5002s	man this is sick yep bubble Peggy buy
5006s	and sell The Gambler okay yeah it's just
5011s	kicking off
5016s	it's completed let's just spin the wheel
5019s	next turn as well this is the disgusting
5022s	is he going for a six drop yeah just
5023s	just press all the buttons just keep
5025s	pressing buttons look at it let's go
5034s	sure hey that's not bad as well that'll
5037s	do
5038s	these peggies are going to be
5040s	uncontrollably large very soon that was
5043s	an unbelievable turn whereas on the
5045s	other side of things it's not looking
5047s	all too great for room goes so he ends
5049s	up with a few Divine Shields quite a few
5051s	actually with obviously the hero power
5053s	the double guardian and the crackling
5056s	but he really needs to start winning
5058s	with it and getting some triples like if
5060s	he could get one of these Amber
5061s	Guardians to die last then we're
5063s	laughing you know at that point he's
5065s	really back in this one WG players turn
5067s	six what we just watched from Alex there
5069s	that's true that's true probably offset
5072s	our brain a little bit but yeah he this
5074s	is definitely not going well for him go
5075s	so he's definitely very weak um but it
5078s	is only turn six a little bit of time to
5080s	to turn it around okay let's watch this
5082s	complete nuttiness all right spin the
5086s	wheel
5090s	uh okay sure yeah sure we can take a six
5095s	drop here
5096s	or maybe even a five drop look for
5098s	another brand yeah no okay I was
5100s	thinking the same because of the um
5102s	Overseer in the shop which just kind of
5104s	wanted to snaffle up but
5106s	you were asking earlier like when are
5108s	the signs you're going to win a Lobby
5109s	not that you're going to hang on the
5111s	signs are and two peggies the wheel of
5113s	York and a light Fang on turn six okay
5116s	oh okay a thistle could be good we've
5118s	got the Synergy with
5119s	um
5120s	pashmar as well of course uh speedy
5124s	unable to see what's happening on this
5126s	board but a triple for him gosu is huge
5128s	which I believe he got off the Amber
5129s	Guardian
5130s	uh
5132s	I mean murmidon has obvious Synergy with
5134s	the hero power right being able to
5136s	double the stats and then give it Divine
5138s	shield and wind Fury as well but no
5140s	immediate way to buff it
5143s	really does just lessen that power you
5145s	haven't seen the uh right for a little
5148s	while on the galley but
5150s	that seems like I feel like this is
5153s	brave from alakia setting up for a
5154s	longer term strategy
5157s	he's just then taking
5159s	zoa
5163s	get some value
5165s	wow the shell collector okay
5168s	things need to start turning around
5170s	Alicia sound as well his quest was
5173s	uh six battle cries yeah get a copy of
5176s	your High House highest health minion at
5178s	the start of combat which is okay but
5180s	it's a long way off and he is dying fast
5182s	as is Rim gosu who needs this turn
5185s	around against an opponent with like all
5188s	Divine Shields which when you have the
5191s	uh the Wildfire is the last thing that
5193s	you want to see yeah if he survives this
5195s	he's got the little Rag and some stuff
5197s	going to start building up a pretty
5200s	tasty board and that's what he was
5202s	counting on but will he survive this I
5204s	don't know those hits didn't look very
5205s	good at the start they look even worse
5207s	now yeah even if he'd taken out the
5209s	taragoza I think that was just gay oh no
5212s	he would have survived at one if he'd
5214s	just got the lucky hit on the tarragosa
5215s	but that does me the room goes to going
5217s	out in eighth if you can believe it in
5222s	uh what is a pretty classic uh room cozy
5225s	style of play from what I hear yep
5227s	second and last so far yeah that's what
5230s	we were told to expect check format that
5232s	might be pretty good though all right we
5234s	have a pizza
5235s	he's got the mirror online obviously
5237s	which is how he's got all these Divine
5239s	Shield minions rocking and rolling and I
5241s	think probably just going full Tempo
5243s	taking a four here as well yeah like the
5246s	decision there was I'm living on three
5249s	on turn eight
5250s	uh am I staying here for even longer the
5253s	answer is yeah I'm staying here
5255s	oh recycling wraith on Galley wicks
5259s	we tempted by that yeah very tempted
5262s	very very tempted by it
5265s	a little less Tempo than the other two
5267s	options and there is a taragoza so prize
5269s	promo Drake stonks go up drastically as
5272s	a result
5273s	you get so much gold but I think I think
5275s	now he's he's strong enough to start
5277s	moving up you get so much gold using
5279s	recycling weight waste so you can spend
5281s	all of your gold on just minions okay is
5283s	important um doesn't have anything like
5285s	a Nomi or a hogger yet yeah which is a
5288s	worry because this Quest
5291s	it's fine for a while right the the
5294s	mirror Shield but
5297s	it it does get worse pretty rapidly yeah
5300s	sure if he can get himself a I mean like
5305s	I said Nomi would be fantastic but
5306s	there's some other synergies that go
5307s	decent well alongside it if you can get
5309s	major Domo or maybe the
5313s	uh shape of reality what's the realities
5318s	that's the one yeah yeah it could be
5320s	pretty good as well to just get some
5321s	immediate stat blockage with all this
5323s	Synergy that you have cycling through
5324s	the tavern so quickly yeah absolutely
5327s	find a Peggy you're all right as well
5330s	if there's any left they haven't all
5331s	been taken
5333s	by Alex the Peggy Thief
5338s	or close one gonna need to take out yeah
5341s	there you go the jumper that'll do it
5347s	now now is the time for Galley to start
5350s	moving up right you see some more yolks
5353s	okay
5356s	sure
5359s	oh my Lord oh
5362s	my stuff
5365s	like he doesn't he's not even taking
5367s	jokes because why would you take jugs
5369s	with a bran yeah yeah I mean only two
5372s	million types I guess he's just trying
5374s	to transition hard into nagas yeah
5379s	okay you know slowing down a little bit
5382s	here I will say like obviously this is
5384s	all the remnants of his insane start so
5386s	he is in a very very good position of
5388s	course uh but you know this kind of turn
5390s	he's
5391s	I feel like there's room for players to
5394s	catch him up in first place right now
5395s	like if you look at this this is
5397s	probably a winner but not a guaranteed
5400s	winner I will say
5402s	all right or am I crazy
5404s	I mean it's not it's definitely not a
5406s	guaranteed winner so you're not crazy
5407s	crazy it depends what level you're
5409s	putting on that because like he's
5410s	winning he's he's currently he is he is
5412s	winning but I I still think
5414s	if like like this no me galleywix right
5417s	here we go come on this is surely
5419s	something that can start to fight back
5422s	yeah
5423s	um he's on a height of Health total
5424s	presumably he's going to have a million
5426s	goal next turn although Maybe
5428s	it's turned he leveled he took a triple
5430s	he got the Nomi this may be next term on
5432s	the Galley isn't going to be a mega mega
5434s	pop-off because there's gold spent on
5436s	other stuff last time yeah uh than just
5438s	buying selling minions
5441s	thinks they're going with his own Peggy
5442s	comp in a more traditional manner with
5445s	the Ogar to go alongside it but as soon
5449s	as he goes up against one of the bigger
5450s	players uh it's not going to be able to
5452s	stack up at all could be gonna need some
5454s	luck to gold in this hogger
5459s	oh 50 50 now gets it okay huge really
5464s	big turnaround and then also
5467s	potentially winning this fight okay
5469s	which would be insane yeah oh yeah oh no
5472s	he loses but yeah he'll take it that
5475s	fight looks horrible it looked like he
5476s	wouldn't get the golden hogger and
5478s	everything went his way there so now
5480s	he's got a chance to to do some catching
5482s	up
5483s	someone who ain't doing no catching up
5485s	is Yun Chang with an eighth and then a
5487s	seventh two lobbies in a row is in an
5490s	awful situation as it's the muncher to
5494s	eat all these stats Leo yes he loses out
5497s	on some nice battle cries but you are
5499s	happily gonna take that as he gets the
5501s	golden Peggy as well yeah now he could
5503s	what do you do with it do you take the
5505s	amalgam with it but yeah there's no
5507s	Pirates right you need like you said the
5508s	amalgam
5512s	are you just say Okay this Peggy just
5514s	lives here as a 44-46 and it's exactly
5516s	yeah
5519s	uh hogger that's a that's the best
5522s	pirate he's gonna get are we supposed to
5524s	just go nagas here and ignore the Peggy
5525s	is that what I'll just leave it as a
5527s	solid minion very possibly is that our
5530s	job here
5532s	it Buffs your mantids oh but it's so fun
5535s	to go hogger though right yeah he is
5540s	uh Baron not doing anything right now
5542s	and I don't think it scales particularly
5544s	well Brand number two probably a little
5546s	over ambitious
5548s	yeah I'm not sure at what point you
5549s	consider selling brand number one
5551s	actually
5552s	the answer is usually later than I think
5554s	whenever I watch anybody I'm like I'll
5555s	sell the brand now and they keep it
5557s	three more turns
5558s	at least wow I didn't expect that I've
5561s	got to be honest
5562s	I guess he's
5564s	he's rolling a lot because there's not
5566s	many things he's looking for right now
5570s	yeah I guess in terms of the goal you're
5572s	spending like you're probably just gonna
5573s	triple roll at the end there and the
5575s	money you spend on rolling and then
5577s	monkey gives you a better chance at
5579s	tripling the officer which is the big
5581s	thing
5582s	this looks like a
5585s	set of cards that somebody's put
5586s	together to get sixth place with
5591s	yeah just hoping to miss the top dogs
5593s	Alex and very rapidly uh River booster
5597s	is one of the players you really want to
5598s	avoid at all cost yeah yeah
5602s	if you survive this this might be the
5604s	time to face because no one's surviving
5606s	him for much longer but I don't think
5608s	Tony Sam's gonna survive it
5613s	yeah
5615s	very close just narrowly dying out exact
5618s	lethal there
5620s	felt like there was maybe a slim chance
5621s	you could have survived that one but he
5623s	is going out in sixth place as is what
5626s	zixo as well
5628s	a seventh into a fifth physics though
5631s	and that board was looking at 50 cases
5633s	like 20 20 30 30s that he'd put together
5635s	with a hogger there of the second game
5637s	in a rows because it was right under the
5639s	old favorite one more turn me please oh
5642s	come on like this is begging for a Peggy
5645s	game he's he got offered like three
5647s	gamblers and another hog art just pick
5650s	it please I'm begging you
5653s	this is mine he just wants to see how
5657s	goes with this Peggy oh there we go
5660s	that's what we've been looking for
5665s	now we start Mega popping off
5670s	I see I want to see your definition of
5672s	Mega popping off after that turn six
5674s	where it just popped off everything okay
5677s	that was Mega now a giga popping off
5679s	with me okay sure
5682s	I lose track of the scales sometimes
5685s	but it's gonna start Yota popping off or
5689s	whatever comes up later on
5692s	this is the last term where anyone could
5695s	beat
5696s	yeah not quite true but rapidly reaching
5699s	that point these are 47 47 on there
5701s	there's a triple so it is getting there
5703s	quickly isn't it and some nice alleys as
5706s	well Divine Shield uh the Wildfire as
5709s	well pretty big can he make space for
5710s	this hogger
5712s	so he can he go hogger Peggy everything
5715s	else Elementals
5717s	Delia 2224 not necessarily immediately
5720s	but soon and then right crazy on the
5722s	know me no he doesn't want to do it he's
5724s	not tempted
5726s	although he is tempted and turned it
5728s	down yeah I think there's like there
5730s	might have been problems with board
5732s	space but mainly just like uh it's just
5734s	too it's just too much to try and work
5736s	through here like you need like you need
5739s	to decimate your stats so heavily to
5741s	make room to cycle both Pirates and
5743s	Elementals you know and it's too late in
5745s	the game as well I think it was the
5747s	conclusion he reached yes
5749s	you know it's still a bit whether he
5751s	gets to survive a turn or two more and
5753s	if he does survive eternity more he's
5754s	scaling so quickly now
5756s	that you should be okay although he's
5758s	not scaling that quickly you could do
5759s	with a second no me but he should find
5761s	the chair I was shot at that and uh says
5763s	to say hanging on in there with demons
5765s	of all things uh against the very
5769s	rapidly increasing uh Elementals that we
5771s	see uh and of course the nagas from Alex
5774s	but for the moment
5775s	able to scrape out at least a fourth and
5778s	maybe
5780s	if he avoids Alex uh he can get a uh a
5784s	third as well as hey there you go Alicia
5786s	San out of the running on a nixia
5789s	again
5794s	ah
5797s	I don't even know if you
5799s	really want that I guess six drops are
5801s	still fine because you could get another
5803s	a thistle which is still fantastic but
5805s	this is mounted just just get things
5807s	it's easy and a half yeah it's 31.29 as
5811s	well because of the brand it's big yeah
5813s	just ate a shop
5817s	I love it oh
5819s	corrupted murmidon probably not
5824s	uh
5827s	uh you already have this three targets
5828s	have you yeah
5833s	okay you can just take the cabin Tempest
5839s	three card for your Peggy to not buff
5841s	anything with yeah
5843s	uh looking for that boy there this is
5846s	Sally more than anything else but
5847s	missing out on it okay whiffs whiffs
5849s	whiffs nothing happening here at all
5851s	taunt with your uh manted already
5854s	taunted up I don't think offers you much
5856s	we're not mad by the way Alex when you
5858s	watch this back about this Peggy we're
5859s	just disappointed
5865s	I I know what he's doing is probably
5867s	correct but she is yes come on
5871s	yeah you're on stream come on give us a
5873s	show nothing about the ten thousand
5875s	dollars you're trying to win
5877s	you just want to see golden Peggy
5879s	popping off
5880s	all right it's pretty simple uh I don't
5882s	think it says to say as much of a chance
5883s	about scaling either player at this
5885s	point so it's really just a battle
5886s	between narcas and Elementals as I see
5889s	it and currently especially with double
5892s	manted both
5894s	on Shield uh it's definitely looking
5897s	good for Alex
5906s	but
5908s	it all goes back to that crazy
5911s	um play he had we saw a shot of what
5913s	pass in this Lobby remember
5915s	um Alex got the same thing done on brown
5916s	but there was a shot of what passed with
5918s	the demon now having a Battle Cry there
5919s	were four Battle Cry minion types in out
5922s	of the five
5923s	damn as I say in a pretty miraculous
5927s	version squeezing out a second place
5929s	which I mean this board is good you know
5932s	it's it's not though is that come on but
5935s	it's not great yeah it's not a second
5938s	place kind of board in lobby Legends is
5940s	it
5941s	we have seen far better boards than this
5943s	come fifth and sixth over this weekend
5946s	um
5947s	good positioning a good sight of what
5949s	he's playing against working out exactly
5951s	what he needs to survive each turn must
5952s	have played a big part in this
5954s	um because he has he's just two minions
5956s	that's what he's got yeah and very
5958s	luckily dodging Alex for like the last
5960s	four or five rounds I'm gonna say or he
5962s	would have been Mega dead
5964s	apparently he's very close to came close
5966s	to losing to the ghost last round as
5968s	well really wow yeah
5977s	just wave the flag and get out of here
5980s	start game exactly I mean I'm not even
5982s	gonna ask you what he can hit to stand a
5983s	chance because there there is absolutely
5987s	he hits Alex just punches opponent in
5989s	the straight up punches him that's what
5991s	he can hit to have a chance yeah that's
5993s	about it he'd probably get disqualified
5995s	though yeah I think that might be
5996s	against the rules but he's too nicer guy
5999s	as well but you know
6001s	not technically incorrect okay Baron's
6003s	selfless to round this out
6014s	yeah
6015s	yes absolutely
6021s	I love that Peggy made it as well just
6025s	as the uh the cheerleader for the team
6027s	at this point
6028s	yeah could have been so much more
6031s	just opted to be the cheerleader
6036s	all right that blows up his own board
6044s	trying to work out where these shields
6045s	could go that can end up scamming this
6047s	fight I think it's possible
6051s	not now that I think it needs to scam
6052s	onto the 71 attack and then have some
6054s	good hits
6056s	kind of big to be fair this is closer
6060s	than I thought it would be yeah
6062s	oh is it one hell health no way no way
6067s	it wasn't even close
6070s	never in doubt Derek told me that's so
6073s	easy to fight it
6076s	oh man well played Alex and well played
6079s	Sesame as well again I've got to say
6081s	like that that was a good Scoop of luck
6083s	to be able to get that second place but
6085s	very impressive because you know at the
6088s	start of that it wouldn't have just been
6089s	a second place that he would have been
6092s	happy with it was like a fifth or a
6094s	fourth that he would have been happening
6095s	like demons in that position just do not
6098s	scale quickly enough to keep up with uh
6101s	Galley Wix know me with an insane pop-up
6103s	in that early game uh with the bran into
6106s	the peggies into nagas into all that
6108s	juicy goodness it was very excessively
6111s	done by good demons right it wasn't like
6114s	even sort of fell back stuff going it
6116s	was just literally a couple of uh zoos
6118s	and good luck hope it works
6120s	um so yeah fantastic hanging on there
6123s	identifying that Azul was going to be
6125s	enough to to limp up get the point which
6127s	is really important at this stage of the
6129s	final when you're heading for that 20
6130s	points uh but Alex
6133s	uh
6134s	a great game really like identifying to
6137s	sort of play Warrior curve on bran okay
6139s	that's not genius levels of play or
6141s	anything but realizing that four million
6144s	types are inward's gonna allow that
6145s	brand to do the thing early then getting
6147s	a quest to go along with it and Bam
6150s	yep his uh life total tells a pretty
6153s	accurate story of what happened that
6154s	game he got a great start great finish
6156s	and a great end he got given all the
6158s	tools he needed but he didn't mess him
6159s	up right it wasn't an especially uh
6162s	complex way to be going about things but
6165s	we'll take those games we will
6167s	absolutely take those games once in a
6169s	while as Alex now propels himself into a
6172s	much better position he was one of the
6174s	trio that finished in fourth uh oh sorry
6176s	third uh overall uh in the previous
6179s	Lobby and now propels himself up I think
6182s	into first place or very close to it at
6185s	least has to be very close to it yeah
6186s	with those four points plus seven being
6188s	on 11.
6190s	um Alicia San
6191s	possibly doing just as well then goes to
6194s	having the the Vim goes through yeah
6196s	there we go yeah there we go damn
6200s	and uh interesting as things go down
6202s	right like there's uh there's a top and
6205s	a bottom like the top six looking all
6207s	okay Alex JP and Alicia sound very
6210s	possibly uh getting that nice break
6212s	point you were talking about of four
6214s	lobbies get us in check that is
6216s	obviously what they're looking to do
6217s	whereas uh zixo and Yoon Chang right now
6222s	really they'd be lucky if they got it in
6224s	six uh at this point yeah yeah they'd
6226s	have to get some big turnarounds to do
6228s	so Young Chang only had five points
6230s	yesterday after the first two lobbies it
6233s	was very seventh place and ended up
6235s	winning that Lobby and getting through
6237s	to today so uh obviously a player we
6240s	don't know much about but from the
6241s	results we've seen so I'm gonna say
6242s	Obviously like this is a sample size of
6244s	five games is enormous but apparently a
6247s	player that is more than capable of
6249s	having extreme results so a couple of
6252s	wins would soon sort out that position
6254s	right now but yeah zigzo Young Chang
6257s	urgently need to rack up the points but
6258s	he also need to not panic yeah you're
6260s	not getting done in four who cares like
6262s	somebody is okay can't deal with that
6265s	just make sure
6266s	you're in contention to get a shot at it
6269s	in lobby five Lobby six Don't Panic
6271s	don't start getting zeros to be first 20
6274s	points you don't have to be you just
6276s	have to not let the person who gets to
6278s	20 points to win the lobby when they're
6279s	there just just take your points along
6281s	you'll be okay that's right as the uh
6284s	the first portion of today is just that
6285s	race to 20 points and with both Alex and
6288s	Alicia San over halfway of getting there
6291s	the race is really starting to heat up
6294s	let's see if either of those two players
6295s	can get another good performance to
6297s	propel them yet further so that crucial
6299s	20 point threshold after this break

6500s	you're watching Lobby Legends magic of
6502s	Azeroth it's day two here of the
6504s	tournament the final day and at the end
6506s	of the day we will know who is walking
6507s	away with ten thousand dollars and that
6509s	first place trophy as well hypothetical
6513s	trophy I suppose in this instance uh but
6515s	the the prestige very much real for all
6518s	of our players uh looking to take this
6520s	one down and be crowned the uh the
6523s	master of a new metagame with these
6525s	quests coming in and while yesterday I
6527s	feel like they were the real uh defining
6530s	aspect interestingly enough in today's
6532s	Lobby uh today's two lobbies both
6535s	winners felt like they haven't relied on
6537s	their Quest or too much you know we've
6539s	seen uh the scallywag combo which you
6542s	know was not especially dependent on the
6544s	I think devil in the details Quest that
6546s	they had at the time and then just brand
6548s	pop off which again was just purely a
6550s	case of picking brand bonds bid and then
6552s	getting some good battle cries so it's
6554s	interesting to see that while they are
6555s	clearly a massively meta warping aspect
6558s	there is still room to kind of
6560s	not ignore them necessarily but focus
6563s	more on a more traditional Battlegrounds
6565s	game plan yeah it's hard to know how
6567s	much the the yoga Quest helped there for
6571s	Alex true yeah going along getting the
6574s	time to go at those levels knowing that
6575s	York's gonna sort of boost your minions
6577s	as you go uh but yeah absolutely you can
6579s	still get this done traditional methods
6582s	and we are seeing
6583s	I feel again this may be sort of
6585s	confirmation bias but I feel we're
6587s	seeing more triples taken today
6590s	um at higher and higher levels than they
6591s	have been in the the previous day as
6593s	well uh it just seems like players are
6595s	realizing that yeah the quest is huge
6598s	but we can still play some Battlegrounds
6599s	along the way as well it is only day
6601s	four of a matter so I'm not surprised
6603s	that things are changing that's why I'm
6604s	willing to go on a small sample Silas or
6606s	galley
6608s	I've got to figure the top players take
6609s	Silas here really miss the Elise either
6612s	but I like Galley here I can't resist
6614s	what have we got at the start Ellie's uh
6616s	which in these early levels really helps
6618s	with Galley of course to start cycling
6620s	through
6622s	uh but again no murlocs interestingly as
6625s	well
6627s	do you have Pirates though like with
6629s	gallywix that's a really big one right
6630s	to hit hogar and start really popping
6632s	off
6634s	yes good River Pusa yo baby
6639s	how this Galley works out zigzag kanishi
6643s	is going to be wow interesting to see
6646s	how he plays that because it's been
6647s	changed recently so this is right the
6649s	minion so you sort of add the tier of
6652s	the minion so you can't mess around on
6653s	tier one and two for long if you want to
6655s	get some big stuff but he's there let's
6657s	see how he does that is it playable now
6659s	because like obviously for the longest
6661s	time I was just told never pick rack an
6663s	issue but it's you know it's a a
6665s	tournament viable pick at this point I'm
6667s	the wrong person to ask about
6669s	recognition because it's always been one
6670s	of my comfort picks oh really yeah
6673s	um it's not great you were right to be
6674s	told to avoid it but I liked it from
6676s	when I first started playing so when you
6678s	get those sort of selection of Heroes
6680s	you don't want to play you reckon issue
6681s	is one of my my very favorite comfort
6683s	just get one big minion and hope it goes
6686s	away but I think I think it's improved
6687s	with the With The Changes now especially
6690s	TS3 ts4 where you can add you know four
6693s	four to a minion seems reasonable
6696s	uh but you do have to get there to get
6698s	those minions there's no point buffing
6700s	your little things
6702s	okay it says it's a insta leveling on
6705s	the togwaggle obviously pretty much the
6706s	only option you have available to you
6708s	whereas Yun Chang is hitting a gorgeous
6711s	curve here right with some real premium
6714s	minions especially when of course you
6715s	factor in the it's Mill House so yeah
6718s	the refresher becomes really big what I
6721s	want to know what he does here is next
6724s	turn
6726s	how much stuff he decides to keep in
6728s	hand I'm already at the point where I'm
6730s	wondering if he should have played this
6731s	Elemental but probably should
6733s	um I wouldn't mind staying with Mill
6734s	House to see how we go about the next
6736s	turn going into the quest turn
6739s	because Milhouse has got such a powerful
6741s	board after two turns here can afford to
6743s	buy
6744s	three things next turn if he doesn't
6745s	want to level and just keep them all in
6747s	hand for the quest
6749s	that's true yeah yeah good point
6754s	I think I have no idea if that's right
6756s	or wrong I just want to see how somebody
6757s	good goes about it I like where you're
6759s	heads are
6762s	foreign
6771s	if you sell
6774s	you could sell double pie swabby and
6776s	still Level right uh do that too or you
6779s	can oh two people buy and hold four
6781s	things in your hand take like three
6783s	damage and see what your quest does for
6784s	you
6786s	I just might be where he's at yeah okay
6790s	I'm very on board with this plan like it
6793s	it's
6794s	unlikely that you end up specifically
6796s	with Elementals and Pirates but you know
6798s	battle cries this is very easy to
6800s	complete now with Swabbies if it does
6802s	happen to be play Pirates you're very
6803s	happy indeed play minions uh there's a
6806s	lot of good ones that can activate here
6808s	that make your quest eminently more
6810s	completable yeah and again I might not
6812s	even have played the the scally but if
6815s	he doesn't want to take any damage fair
6816s	play I understand damage is is important
6819s	it's occurred to us as well so it could
6821s	be kind of scary
6823s	three on three as well for two of our
6825s	competitors obviously togwaggle as is
6827s	pretty much the only curve you're ever
6828s	really looking to go for but then zixo
6831s	on rack and Nishu the obvious Synergy
6833s	being there with the hero power uh but a
6836s	quick turnaround gonna be needed because
6838s	rakane issue obviously does not have the
6840s	rapid safety mechanism that hogwaggle
6842s	has access to
6848s	okay
6850s	with Elementals or demons I already see
6853s	two elements oh all of the Elementals
6856s	and demons in Play Let's Go
6860s	oh this is a Nutty talk waggle as well
6863s	really really strong to get the uh
6865s	Observer as well evil twin as well
6869s	for me here but I mean Victory
6871s	perspective you're going to sell things
6872s	as Galley obviously is good
6876s	the evil twin
6878s	like I'm not waiting seven turns for
6881s	evil twin no shot oh sorry yeah yeah you
6885s	can't do that sorry my bad I didn't
6887s	realize how what
6890s	that does feel a little expensive
6892s	doesn't it I've never seen that go
6894s	bigger than four my brain just glossed
6895s	over it is oh that's fine oh seven
6900s	what is this this is
6903s	oh my God that's illegal that's two
6907s	triples
6910s	I mean obviously it kind of hurts as
6912s	gallowakes to not be able I sell Buy
6914s	sell buy sell and get a million gold but
6919s	two triples yeah I just I just want to
6922s	do it but obviously he's taking his time
6923s	so he doesn't want to do it I just want
6925s	to do it and then next turn go crazy
6927s	again
6929s	you've got triple to the settlemental
6930s	and the Barracuda okay this is far more
6933s	sensible
6936s	can you double level next turn
6939s	um so it costs fourth the first part
6941s	second part will cost eight
6947s	I'm gonna say he could double level but
6950s	I haven't counted it you never really
6951s	right I am
6953s	to get the triple at least one of them
6959s	it might I don't know I think you might
6962s	have to sell quite a lot of his board
6963s	but he might be able to double level and
6964s	get the triples let's see
6970s	yeah no you just go to the sensible way
6973s	makes sense uh you have next turn
6977s	one gold over uh but I mean with the
6980s	yeah Gambler it's nice yeah he'd have to
6983s	sell the whole board to do what I was
6985s	thinking and only get one triple so what
6986s	he's doing is rather better
6989s	just a little bit marginally it's
6991s	actually better
6992s	okay Milhouse doing Milhouse things
6995s	already completed at the quest
7005s	okay they're getting two demons he
7006s	completed that very quickly actually
7008s	which is good to see uh but Milhouse and
7011s	demons you know you do have that kind of
7014s	synergy now if you can just roll into uh
7016s	overseer being obviously the really big
7018s	just power Spike card at the moment but
7020s	mind muck to cycle through uh and as
7023s	soon as you find yourself the Azul right
7026s	on Tavern tier five yeah yeah then every
7029s	demon you get is just pure money baby
7032s	yeah and of course your middle house you
7034s	do sort of just have the chance to level
7036s	up to six I know it's a little bit more
7037s	expensive but it should have the tempo
7039s	to do that if he wants to go fail about
7040s	hunting May well not need to but
7043s	the option exists
7050s	close fights all around doesn't really
7051s	feel like but anybody's massively power
7054s	spiking right now with uh you know
7056s	toggle supposed to be king at the tavern
7058s	right now uh recently after pressing the
7061s	button
7061s	uh but yeah against Mill House obviously
7065s	it's going to be closer and it does feel
7067s	like pretty close here overall
7069s	yeah this hobby feels a bit uh it's the
7071s	first time we've seen I think the heroes
7074s	be
7075s	wildly different so we're sitting here
7077s	with a lot of
7078s	Mana Tempo Heroes with the galley which
7081s	The Mill House the togwaggle
7084s	all hanging around in there and Curtis
7086s	who's you know usually King of the tempo
7088s	currently with the most health but
7090s	might just get overmatched in this one I
7092s	think
7093s	okay Alter Ego played two more
7095s	Elementals or demons which hey two
7099s	pretty good ones in the shop on this
7101s	turn uh should you so desire
7104s	get one in hand to make another but yeah
7105s	you're just thinking press button do
7107s	Quest sounds okay
7110s	um how about complete Quest then press
7113s	button next time and pick up all the
7114s	expensive stuff yeah yeah I wasn't
7116s	thinking press button I I did miss the
7118s	elemental hand though you were correct
7122s	yeah you could get a pair oh no sorry a
7124s	triple my mistake on the uh the party
7126s	Elemental is fantastic
7130s	so
7131s	does alter ego start on it starts on
7134s	even right
7137s	couldn't tell you sorry
7141s	odd next turn so it starts on even that
7143s	shop had five four drops in it I think
7145s	he might be trying to find a way where
7146s	he can just get them all
7148s	dude
7151s	[Music]
7154s	okay
7156s	give me the triple dude
7159s	oh that's still good that's still very
7162s	good this is silly and the fact he has
7166s	four Minions on board to me says he's
7169s	got a lot of gold next turn indeed but
7172s	he does need to survive until the point
7174s	where he can stabilize because this is
7175s	very strong but very slow and he is
7177s	going to be taking full 15 on this turn
7183s	really looking that it's not gonna if
7185s	he's got like 16 or 17 gold it's not
7187s	going to be that slow
7188s	you have 16 or 17. 13. okay oh Ellie's
7192s	there's one like it's it's good he can
7194s	probably stabilize but he's at 15 Health
7196s	one more bad fight and he is
7200s	tight it is very tight but I think he'll
7203s	be all right they go up so quickly with
7204s	double Nomi and
7208s	I mean I'm definitely okay to be proved
7212s	wrong here
7213s	and the other scary thing is he's up
7216s	against the other 15 Health player uh in
7219s	this round right which is you know you
7221s	never want to put these players in a
7223s	corner because then they start lashing
7224s	out they start running away and start
7226s	really fighting back nobody puts this
7229s	they say in a corner
7232s	date of this though uh these are an
7235s	all-even shop yeah he has
7237s	an all-even shop so they all got the
7239s	buff and oh it's pretty powerful it's
7243s	really strong isn't it
7246s	the difference here okay going anywhere
7249s	he's just in survival mode and that's
7250s	going to be bad for River poster because
7252s	River piece is exactly if he survives
7259s	hey that's a trash shop I mean I I guess
7262s	most of them are even which is something
7266s	and these minions get so much buff like
7269s	look at this selfless it's a 12 11.
7272s	except
7273s	yeah he set it up perfectly to get the
7275s	full scoop the full Heist
7279s	and it wants to roll again I think to
7281s	find an
7282s	uh an Ellie or you know just something
7284s	with Divine Shields the the trickster
7287s	anything
7288s	I think you've got to just bite the
7290s	bullet and take the quill ball
7292s	okay split the difference yeah gets one
7296s	buff all right actually bigger yeah
7298s	super important fight here between
7300s	gallywicks and uh the togwaggle it looks
7303s	at the moment like togwaggle is just
7305s	gonna be a little bit too big right will
7307s	he kill him that's the question if
7308s	rubipusa only takes 14 here he can still
7310s	win this Lobby a great first hit with
7313s	the wildfires takes six damage off the
7315s	board right out the gate
7318s	foreign
7324s	off he goes cool I think he's got loads
7327s	and loads of gold because last turn was
7329s	like a buying turn
7331s	yes yeah yeah
7334s	just just 11.
7337s	all right show us the alleys come on
7339s	come on not these oh there it is oh
7341s	that's the juice right there that looks
7344s	getting well excited I am too gonna
7346s	admit
7348s	making sure he's got a narrow board so
7350s	the Buffs are falling on from the rack
7352s	of falling on the right things
7356s	that's a scam Elemental right there when
7359s	you have a board full of alleys and you
7360s	still get it off the reef Explorer
7363s	not quite massive it'll be okay but one
7368s	more roll
7370s	uh is there any way you can get the
7371s	pirate through that's not right
7373s	oh I'm a sensible world and sell coin
7376s	buy sell we selling though
7381s	rag yeah yeah and finishing on the demon
7385s	yeah
7391s	technically correct as always surrender
7394s	that's what I meant that is all right
7396s	okay so yeah good job
7399s	you know observer's name God damn it
7403s	yep exactly I would never forget the
7405s	Observer
7408s	talking to the Observer um subtle has
7410s	informed just that the last fight was
7411s	kind of the two biggest people in the
7413s	lobby
7414s	it's more like what we're looking at is
7416s	this is sort of our vision amongst the
7417s	other players yeah oh the the galley
7420s	should be safe
7423s	then from that point it's it's a real
7425s	Lobby winner without murlocs uh so
7427s	limited poison potential
7431s	River fusa could go all the different uh
7432s	all the distance sorry after really
7435s	rough fights yeah if if that's what if
7437s	that the information we're getting is
7438s	correct and it will be because subtle
7440s	can see everybody's bored then
7442s	as long as he Dodges the immediate
7444s	dangers of just getting unlucky
7445s	somewhere I think he's well away
7448s	well you know what you say that this is
7450s	a pretty developerative sized board from
7453s	uh who is this room goes to on the
7456s	kertras it is and Alicia sun is
7460s	developing here with a hogger and a
7462s	Peggy and yeah yeah numbers
7468s	if you're like wow that's sick
7475s	please you can now go above 10 gold
7478s	which I always messed up beforehand yeah
7481s	exactly
7483s	yeah I saw that that build is not a very
7485s	big buff and let everyone I know
7487s	including me was like no this is huge
7490s	because I'm an idiot and this is
7495s	all right okay just get it out of here
7498s	please just giving you anxiety
7500s	I think it's golden right there's
7502s	there's four gold Glovers in play
7506s	true yeah yeah good point
7510s	not how that works Alicia
7515s	I'll clean you up
7518s	I love catching some waves
7523s	yeah he just decided that I can make my
7526s	gold grippers bigger with the peggies
7527s	than I can by just sitting there with
7529s	this um extra gold on the board
7534s	decision on this salty looter what you
7536s	want to do
7545s	what would you lose a 1010 grubber and
7548s	not now right you
7550s	take this it's just the timing and the
7553s	ordering right you're looking for the
7554s	second golden grubber
7557s	roll first see how you feel at some
7559s	point this Levi is just going to be
7560s	irritating but it's way too big for now
7562s	to get rid of could stick taunt on it as
7565s	well as a little tempting
7568s	easy
7571s	all righty but who plays The Glover
7573s	that's it that's like all in or just
7575s	hitting the triple straight away or
7576s	getting rid of the two Grabbers
7578s	which is fine you know like he's still
7580s	buffing up his stats pretty nicely okay
7582s	typical sorry taking a look at torsan on
7585s	Snead we haven't had seen all too much
7587s	who
7589s	fairly weak like you're looking to get
7592s	some obvious demon death rattles to go
7593s	with the soul juggler
7595s	uh but that's starting to get massively
7597s	outscaled thankfully though uh the Vash
7600s	on the other side is not too powerful
7603s	either actually
7605s	yeah it depends exactly how much he's
7607s	been able to just need some stuff I
7609s	think but yeah this isn't looking great
7610s	at all
7619s	uh I was gonna scrape through though
7622s	didn't survive
7624s	yes sorry yeah yeah
7626s	my knowledge it came down to a 50 50.
7628s	actually that last year it could have
7629s	actually done yeah
7631s	super clutch as now we see uh River Pusa
7634s	winning fight after fight slowly
7636s	overtaking everyone who's beside him as
7639s	this is just the nuts he hit the golden
7642s	Nomi he's got the recycling wraith he's
7645s	got all the gold you could ever need
7648s	looks like it's taking it down to me it
7651s	does look really good like you mentioned
7653s	earlier no murlocs
7654s	um the problem with beating this with
7656s	say Manti queens and leroys is there's
7658s	just their smallest thing by the time it
7661s	gets to that point in three or four
7662s	turns time it's huge yeah it's not like
7665s	I get lucky and trade into their big
7667s	minion like the the smallest minion is
7669s	going to be 8080 or something when this
7671s	comes down to the heads up
7673s	look at this man this is infinite gold
7676s	infinite stats you lose out on a bunch
7678s	of rerolls sure but like you don't need
7680s	to re-roll you have what you need right
7682s	here hasn't completed the quest what a
7685s	noob oh really oh yeah what's he got we
7687s	should probably be reading out trigger
7689s	five friendly death battles for
7692s	um playing copy of last minion that died
7694s	it just literally is ignoring the quest
7698s	completely yep it just doesn't exist
7701s	told you Garry weeks is good because you
7703s	can complete quest with it
7705s	turns out it's just galleywix being good
7707s	and nothing to do with quests whatsoever
7709s	I mean I can't remember but I'm pretty
7711s	sure the other options he's got were
7712s	like even worse like
7719s	seven turns in a row which I've never
7721s	seen and I don't understand how that
7723s	happened
7724s	all right at least your son's gonna pop
7726s	off next turn if there is a next turn
7729s	this needs to survive pretty large
7734s	pretty large yeah
7736s	uh
7738s	uh about the same size as this Mill
7741s	house but oh the poison taken to hit is
7744s	a rough one
7745s	couple of nice trades though and this is
7757s	I'm
7758s	did get that golden gold grubber the
7761s	second one by the way
7762s	is he going for the full gold grower
7764s	complex sometimes you see those
7765s	ridiculous boards where they have like
7767s	five gold gold Grovers or something just
7769s	outscale through that alone so
7772s	um with that awful looking Snead's mess
7774s	yeah yeah just scaled not hitting
7777s	anything powerful
7783s	you're supposed to go pirate to this
7785s	point by the way hot tip Ah that's where
7787s	I've been going wrong
7792s	apparently the galley in the togwago had
7794s	a rematch in the galleywix this time
7795s	just absolutely took it down without any
7798s	trouble all right um after this pirate
7800s	turn
7801s	maybe next turn have a look at zika
7803s	because we haven't seen the reckon issue
7804s	at all and Zeko's been taking no damage
7806s	true yeah I was saying that uh oh wow
7809s	another hogger uh zixo might struggle to
7811s	re-stabilize after he goes for three on
7813s	three but I think he's only lost one
7814s	fight since then so clearly he's done a
7816s	fantastic job of doing so
7818s	yeah there's been so much exciting
7820s	action around the around the boards just
7822s	haven't had time to knit back and have a
7823s	look what's going on there because look
7824s	at this we've got crazy Galley crazy
7826s	Pirates going on crazy talk like and
7829s	stuff earlier and now that he's making
7832s	money with each pirate that he buys uh
7835s	this is really hitting that point of uh
7838s	unstoppability yeah it can actually
7840s	catch the galleywix here right because
7842s	gallywix is limited on how much you can
7844s	do each turn even though it's only just
7845s	limited this is unlimited it's unlimited
7848s	timer right but that is a pretty big
7851s	butt
7852s	and starting from a long long way behind
7855s	as well of course
7863s	bran
7865s	not quite don't have the board space I
7868s	don't think wow just instant messes on
7870s	all the remaining Pirates yeah go down
7873s	to the last few seconds I think I think
7874s	what I do in the last few seconds of
7876s	those turns where you know you're not
7877s	going to get many more Buffs is roll a
7878s	lot looking for selflessness that's my
7880s	personal preference you get after 10
7882s	seconds you know you probably get three
7883s	or four Buffs you're going to miss a
7884s	little bit
7886s	um but you can you can roll refresh
7888s	really quickly so I just give it a fresh
7889s	refresh refresh pick up a selfless or
7891s	something
7892s	I don't know if that's what he was doing
7893s	but that's my strategy in that situation
7896s	okay not terrible hits on the health one
7898s	hit the strong arm which is obviously
7899s	the really bad one but the rest look
7901s	small enough in attack to your answer
7904s	quite happily
7906s	there we go
7908s	damn it's gonna be a close one like you
7909s	say River Pusa and Alicia sound both
7911s	feeling like they have the capability to
7914s	win the lobby taking a snapback uh six
7916s	so it does look like he was going for a
7919s	very strong Tempo mid game comp but not
7922s	necessarily one that can outscale the
7924s	late game which is a very valid strategy
7926s	to go for but one that honestly could
7930s	see him losing this round the question
7932s	is just whether or not he could scam out
7934s	like a fourth or fifth
7936s	uh which he absolutely could still do
7938s	but he needs to hit one of the weaker uh
7940s	Heroes
7941s	which sadly he has not done because next
7943s	round he is against Alicia's hand who is
7945s	going to quite appropriately for uh the
7949s	mutinous eat him alive and nice and
7952s	apparently we're getting word as whether
7953s	he just took 20 from Liverpool so the
7955s	fight there you go he is not equipped to
7958s	fight these big things but good to have
7960s	a look how that developed obviously
7961s	rocketed up to the the double rag like
7965s	you've just described made it pay off
7967s	and is now going to probably die
7969s	miserably
7971s	um it's turned 12 and only one person's
7974s	dead in his Lobby how's that happened
7975s	that is crazy credit where it's due as
7978s	well uh zixo yes you did get unlucky you
7981s	faced the two strongest players in the
7983s	lobby one after the other at the worst
7985s	possible time that sucks I mean his one
7988s	hope here is take 16 and have four other
7991s	people three other people die
7995s	okay that's that'so's only hope here
7998s	let's go with that
8001s	meanwhile when ghost who has some cards
8003s	yeah
8006s	but it's it's obviously it's the the
8008s	classic thing you have with these kind
8009s	of comps where it's a much higher
8010s	starting point than what Alicia sand had
8014s	on the mutinous but it's a much slower
8017s	scaling composition than the quadruple
8020s	hogger or whatever he ends up with at
8021s	the end
8022s	uh whether or not it could survive
8024s	against this is close doesn't look like
8027s	it but this trickster could be pretty
8029s	big oh no not there though yeah that's
8032s	not what you want to see he's got it
8033s	everywhere you don't want it to go
8034s	giving it wind feeling was good to make
8036s	sure it died obviously as it happens it
8038s	was dying anyway but it's a good plan
8043s	this is gonna be one two short zixo
8046s	oh no zexo you poor boy that was so
8052s	close
8053s	when ghost is hanging on looks like
8055s	that's gonna be too much damage as well
8057s	oh it's so close yeah 16 is gonna do it
8062s	all right three players dead oh no sorry
8064s	two players Taurus sounds Rim goes to uh
8067s	both Fallen by the Wii uh the Wayside
8069s	and now the question is really just can
8072s	anyone stand up to River Pusa or Alicia
8075s	sound as the two top dogs in this lobby
8077s	with River Pusa firmer cement further
8080s	cementing himself sorry as probably the
8082s	top dog right here like this is just
8084s	scaling to absurd levels young Chang's
8087s	finally worked out what to do when he
8088s	only has nine Health after six turn that
8090s	is top the lobby on health totals
8094s	everyone else has even less look at this
8097s	smoker
8098s	absolute smog over smoker my goodness
8103s	250 smoker points
8112s	that's another one the giant smoker
8117s	absolute state of it
8121s	now the order of the day um is a little
8125s	bit difficult here for River puso and
8126s	certainly it doesn't matter that it's
8128s	difficult but
8130s	he's got a point where he's golden to
8132s	pretty much everything on the board
8133s	uh-huh so the plan of goldening
8137s	everything on the board to make it
8138s	bigger
8139s	expires now
8141s	you just sell your smoker right make
8143s	another gold one yeah
8146s	that's the point also has to consider
8149s	and there's no right way he's doing it
8150s	now but does have to consider every
8152s	single turn now
8154s	um is this the one that I might lose do
8156s	I sell my know me uh-huh sure yeah I
8159s	mean I'm looking for you know yeah yeah
8161s	no no it's a good good point to bring up
8163s	at which point do I still might know me
8165s	but no hurry for that
8169s	okay the clash of the two weaker players
8171s	are too old for weaker players left in
8173s	the lobby that
8175s	giant ozul is looking like a problem but
8178s	the
8179s	thumbs it off it's such a clutch here
8182s	now we're looking a lot closer the
8184s	Divine Shield's gonna be eaten up
8186s	hopefully by a void Walker nice
8190s	okay those are perfectly decent hits so
8193s	far
8194s	got the 7071 covered by the other two
8196s	minions right by his two big minions
8198s	that's a big deal
8200s	thank you
8201s	yeah just you know how I even hang in
8204s	there oh my God that was so clutch and
8207s	you're seeing the difference here as
8208s	Alex bites out in fifth place
8210s	um we're seeing the difference here
8212s	between the galleywix who's small
8214s	minions are bigger than your board and
8217s	somebody who's got like two years olds
8219s	yeah
8222s	that was just making noises at this
8224s	point because everything is so stupid
8225s	what else can you do man look at this I
8228s	didn't want that 100 Cyclone because it
8230s	was too small
8232s	I mean if he can get a golden Wildfire
8235s	surely that just ends right he can get
8237s	another know me if he wants maybe I
8240s	don't think he needs it but I don't
8241s	think he even want it say void Lord here
8244s	for some tech for later I don't think we
8246s	care start taking selflessness I don't
8249s	think anything outstarts you
8253s	100 smokers buffing things yeah
8256s	yeah you've got to start taking uh some
8259s	tech for some Divine Shields there I
8261s	think now oh yeah I mean like like you
8263s	say Alicia can go infinite but this is
8266s	this is not outscaling right the time
8269s	constraint is just too much yeah I
8271s	thought this could catch but
8276s	[Music]
8278s	um but no it can't
8280s	uh but the question right now is not
8282s	whether or not he can beat River Pusa
8284s	it's whether he can beat yuncha on ill
8287s	house which looks a lot more doable
8290s	right does but from what I remember Mill
8293s	House is things like all 8080s which
8295s	cover a lot of these in one for ones
8297s	okay let's see how this goes It's all
8299s	about where these Divine Shields end up
8301s	uh only one on
8310s	[Music]
8311s	Divine Shield as well
8314s	oh yeah no it's not enough is it no no
8321s	a good effort by Milhouse he got a lot
8323s	further than I thought he would to be
8324s	honest managed to uh you know hodge
8327s	podge together a really nice bunch of
8328s	tech cards with the uh tunnel Blaster
8331s	obviously the mounted Queens to get
8332s	himself a strong third slash fourth but
8335s	now it's River Pusa versus Alicia sound
8337s	it's what we predicted long ago Lorinda
8339s	the Pirates vs the Ellies in one giant
8342s	Clash a pirate comp that now has two
8346s	golden Hoggers if you please you wanted
8349s	APM this is what you said you were
8351s	looking for at the start of today's
8352s	action and hopefully you're gonna get it
8355s	because Alicia needs to get some hustle
8357s	right now I mean they both got it going
8359s	but because Galley which is basically I
8360s	thought this would catch but um not
8362s	quite getting there The Galley which is
8364s	gigantic so we are watching this attempt
8366s	from Alicia San and obviously he will
8369s	know he knows how Galax Works here's
8370s	what Kelly which is doing but I don't
8372s	know if he's faced gallywix any time
8373s	recently so it'd be interesting to see
8376s	if he picks up Tech or if he just thinks
8378s	you know what if I just keep pressing
8379s	buttons I will outstand scale The Galley
8381s	Wicks which we can see is an absolute
8384s	nonsense but from his side he might be
8387s	guessing how big gallywix is and just go
8389s	you know what a couple of 200 200s
8391s	that'll be fine I'll be ahead yeah uh
8395s	good luck with that just good luck with
8397s	that golden wildfire that has to just be
8400s	too much like there's a gold it deletes
8403s	the board on its own there is a 200 191
8407s	Leroy on the board though which is
8408s	absolutely hilarious but that'll kill
8411s	one of the 252 is when it dies and procs
8414s	it because he died
8417s	absolutely date of this game
8421s	again
8424s	I mean look he ends the term with like
8425s	20 gold just floating because he just
8428s	does not have the time I do think
8429s	because they are playing on Europe
8431s	server right because the Europe time
8434s	zone uh uh Lobby legends that could be
8437s	messing up a leaf sound a little bit
8438s	really hurts your ability to go quickly
8440s	like to be honest it did look like he
8442s	was going a little slowly on that pirate
8444s	comp compared to what you would expect
8445s	to see uh but again we'll blame it down
8448s	to server issues or uh latency as Alicia
8452s	Zan does take the L as expected and it's
8455s	River Pusa with a dominant Galley Wick
8459s	strategy I mean you're a writler into
8461s	gallowakes is just looking insane yeah
8464s	yesterday when I saw somebody take yog
8465s	instead of gallywix I just assumed that
8467s	I was you know just my MMR wasn't good
8469s	enough but yeah that's been my
8471s	experience with gallywix through all
8473s	expansions
8474s	um and didn't do the quest one of my
8476s	arguments is that gallywix could do
8478s	question really easily but it can't do
8480s	line up your minions in the wrong order
8482s	seven times
8484s	where did that come from yeah I think I
8488s	I don't know I think that might be like
8490s	an instance of
8492s	like unfortunate side effects where it
8494s	you know it's a zero Armor Hero right
8497s	evil twin I think got made a little bit
8499s	tougher and order your minions
8502s	got made easier but either way yeah
8505s	ordering your minions for seven turns in
8507s	a row is absolutely insane for evil twin
8508s	there's no way it's worth that as uh hey
8511s	what do you know just completely
8512s	ignoring your quest not even activating
8514s	it for the entire game turns out to be
8516s	the winning uh Strat here for
8521s	which means that we have a very
8523s	interesting dynamic in terms of the
8526s	leaderboard right now I believe with
8528s	Alicia Sam being in second place
8529s	beforehand and a river Pusa being in
8532s	third the rich once again get richer as
8535s	I believe they're going to pull away yet
8536s	further towards the top of the
8537s	leaderboard and that crucial 20 point
8540s	threshold yeah Liverpool's is going to
8543s	be in
8544s	very realistic territory um
8547s	what 16 points I think he's going to be
8550s	on which you know a top four next time
8552s	around get him into that
8555s	um the check Zone basically oh yeah and
8558s	I don't even know if he's in first like
8559s	Alicia Sam also will have a lot of
8561s	points
8562s	though I think they're both going to be
8564s	on 16 again we'll wait for the official
8565s	standings but watching Hoggers slap into
8568s	big things or what
8570s	he thinks big things and then you find
8572s	out what the really big things are
8574s	Yeah hoga's medium things like again as
8577s	we said playing on uh uh I think from
8581s	Asia on the Europe server yeah that was
8583s	a decent enough hoga board it's not the
8585s	kind that you would be typically getting
8586s	on ladder of course where you can just
8587s	start throwing cards like a madman with
8590s	uh no latency whatsoever only the word
8593s	golden Peggy as well which does slow you
8595s	down if you don't find exactly don't get
8597s	rolled some more peggies you're not
8598s	going to get there too quickly there is
8600s	the standings three players capable of
8603s	hitting 20 at the end of this next round
8605s	and at the bottom there those players
8607s	got decisions to make about how hard
8609s	they want to push because you can expect
8612s	this to go to Lobby six you want to have
8614s	20 points the start of Lobby six if
8616s	you're six so I think now just take you
8617s	a chance that it doesn't fall in lobbies
8619s	four and five
8621s	I think that's reasonable yeah you need
8623s	like uh am I fearing saying that rack an
8626s	issue was deliberately picked there as a
8629s	probably not winner but like finished
8630s	third or fourth kind of hero just
8632s	because you get a lot of immediate Tempo
8634s	and to be fair his plan almost got there
8636s	I think it was a good plan it's just
8638s	because he got those early Rags scaled
8641s	very nicely massive Wildfire massive
8643s	Divine Shield but then he placed face
8645s	the two biggest players in the lobby in
8647s	Alicia and riverpoosa one after the
8650s	other which is the last thing that you
8651s	want to see uh when you get for that
8653s	kind of a comp it was turn 11 or turn 10
8655s	and he was on 36 35 Health something
8658s	like that absolutely fine yeah I'm gonna
8660s	get to turn 15 and just come third I'll
8662s	be fine and then just take 20 take 20 GG
8665s	come seventh don't think he did much
8667s	wrong there to be honest uh but that was
8669s	a very powerful Lobby we are seeing
8672s	these powerful comps come through we had
8674s	Exodia managed to get billed earlier
8676s	today now we've seen you know power
8678s	Galley wax Nomi Galley Wax Power Nomi
8681s	and power hogger coming through so
8684s	people finding ways to get it done
8686s	without the quest at all in the case of
8688s	Galax there I want to see if that
8689s	continues yeah that's right Quest being
8691s	the uh the king of the tavern massively
8693s	warping The Meta yesterday but in terms
8696s	of the winners obviously they're still
8697s	having a massive impact on everyone else
8699s	but for the winners being you know
8701s	really an afterthought for our players
8703s	winning strategies and we'll see if that
8705s	will continue in this rapidly evolving
8707s	meta game after this break when Lobby
8709s	Legends continue

9329s	welcome back to Hearthstone Lobby
9332s	Legends magic of Azeroth where we are
9335s	possibly over the halfway point in this
9338s	uh final stage of the tournament once
9342s	again we are playing the check format in
9344s	this tournament which means the first
9346s	requirement for all of our players is to
9349s	reach 20 points uh overall in a Lobby if
9352s	you finish first you get seven points if
9354s	you finish eighth you get zero points
9356s	already we have one player on 16 one
9358s	player on 17 right up at the top of the
9360s	leaderboard so they are both fairly
9362s	likely to make it through to that 20
9365s	point threshold and from there once you
9367s	reach that point the only thing you need
9369s	to do easiest thing in the world in
9370s	order to win the tournament is win uh
9373s	first place is the only way that you can
9375s	take down tournaments and so things are
9377s	going to really start heating up now
9379s	after this Lobby once Alicia and River
9381s	Pusa are very uh either at 20 points or
9384s	very close to it then the rest of our
9386s	players are going to be walking on
9388s	eggshells just praying that they can
9390s	take down the top dogs and potentially
9392s	hard targeting them once it gets into
9395s	the games and trying to just beat them
9397s	in the early game before they can hit
9399s	these kind of first place style
9400s	compositions yeah and historically I
9403s	remember this is only the fifth Lobby
9404s	Legend
9406s	um players haven't been very good at
9407s	doing that or versus in front has been
9409s	sort of been lucky getting a bit of a
9411s	start as well don't get me wrong like be
9413s	nice just killed everybody the second in
9415s	the first Lobby Legends the second he
9416s	got to 20 points that was just it but
9419s	players haven't been very good at
9420s	targeting the leaders targeting the
9422s	players who can win the lobby and
9424s	because of that I think we've had a five
9426s	two sixes and a seven in terms of length
9428s	of final and I will be interested to see
9431s	if the players at the bottom there sort
9433s	of gang up to oh I've got my 20 points
9435s	yet if they if they gang up just to take
9437s	down the people who in check and try and
9439s	sneak their own points Lobby by Lobby
9441s	towards their own 20 uh when we get
9444s	there but first of all we've got to get
9445s	there we have seen people stall on 19
9447s	and 19 and a half before and come like
9449s	eighth twice in reverting Alucard got
9453s	really close they just couldn't get over
9454s	to the Trinity for Forever at some point
9457s	so not there yet and let's say the
9460s	bottom three come first second third now
9462s	nobody gets a 20 this leaderboard will
9465s	look a lot different going into Lobby
9466s	five
9467s	yeah it will indeed and again as we say
9469s	if you just keep finishing first no
9471s	matter where you are you will not be
9473s	losing because even if a player has
9475s	already reached the 20 point threshold
9477s	you can just deny them that you will be
9479s	in
9480s	uh in with a Chance which makes for some
9482s	interesting Dynamics right where it's
9484s	not only the players at that 20-point
9485s	threshold who will necessarily be uh
9488s	going for these super risky strats it's
9490s	players like zixo who also need to hit
9493s	these first place kind of games in order
9496s	to have a chance
9497s	of denying their opponent the first
9499s	place and getting up to that 20-point
9501s	threshold in their own right 6-0 doing
9503s	that is going to be going for cookie uh
9506s	who is uh kind of interesting hero right
9509s	now not I think valued quite so highly
9512s	as it once was especially as the the
9514s	curve can be a little awkward could be
9517s	another three on three game physics
9519s	which is one of those risky style
9521s	players so as we see genetics here
9523s	taking over flurgle which has got a very
9525s	high win rate but denatures with the
9527s	buff a couple of days ago uh with the
9529s	easier quests now coming in or the
9531s	normal quests now coming here on turn
9532s	one
9533s	a lot a big buff that was
9536s	hit this thing about to talk about zigzo
9538s	for a second
9540s	yeah four Battle Cry minions okay I
9542s	didn't see the Alley Cat but with that
9543s	in there that makes it make a lot more
9546s	yeah for Specter yeah they've just made
9547s	it nice and straightforward Matthews it
9549s	feels like it's even easier than average
9551s	but it can't be uh but yeah I quite like
9553s	three on three still I don't think most
9556s	people do I don't think it's definitely
9557s	been solved that it's bad though and
9560s	cookie gives you an excuse to do that so
9562s	I actually quite like cookie right now
9564s	you get that three drop which three
9566s	drops are pretty good
9568s	um especially if you can get um an over
9569s	an overseer or something like that an
9572s	observer
9574s	um
9574s	there's plenty of good threes out there
9576s	something we haven't seen much of in all
9578s	of our lobbies has been mixed we haven't
9579s	seen people sort of getting deflectos
9581s	and stuff going on early too much else
9582s	going on
9584s	as he gets his second bet death battle
9585s	his executive Battle Cry here
9588s	enough of that so that's going to be an
9590s	easy not to freeze in this instance as
9593s	half the lobby leveling on two half of
9595s	them not it seems like here which is
9599s	uh kind of expected uh murloc homes if
9603s	you're not going for the level here I
9604s	guess you are uh anticipating that you
9607s	maybe hit some kind of a double buy
9608s	possibility with a couple of coins
9610s	available which I I think may not be the
9613s	case or at least a good option picked up
9614s	on taverns here one uh oh okay yeah just
9618s	a good Tavern on both sides here right
9621s	Murdoch homes
9623s	it's really hard to sort of cast
9625s	anything exciting about murloc homes
9627s	right you just you get an extra gold
9629s	every turn most of the time that's it
9632s	almost really nice like powerful Etc
9635s	even for a noob like me I was surprised
9637s	how often you get it right
9640s	especially in the early game it gets a
9642s	little bit tougher later on but early
9643s	game it's very easy but later on it's
9646s	not so important either exactly turns
9648s	into an extra roll which is still huge
9650s	but not as huge as it is
9652s	all right let's see what three zigzo
9654s	gets if any we're looking at demon for
9656s	the overseer Mech yeah for the uh
9659s	reflector reflector bot
9663s	and Beast for the famous three drop of
9667s	Three rap pack not great is it I don't
9670s	even know yeah
9672s	all right let's try and hit the overseer
9673s	we need to see something big and we end
9676s	up with a one two three all demons you
9679s	know I suppose technically does have to
9681s	be the amalgam but I don't know are you
9684s	walking away from this happy you're
9685s	gonna tank a lot of damage but it could
9688s	be again a first place kind of Minion if
9690s	you get some help along the way oh this
9693s	is nutty though this is huge because the
9696s	last Minion's always going to be a
9698s	Battle Cry he's gonna have a lot of
9699s	power going on if you can get the Alley
9700s	Cat To Die last which
9703s	could well happen here could end up with
9704s	an early
9705s	sort of shutter walk-esque triple note
9707s	never mind straight up snipe this is
9710s	better he gets a triple now right it's
9711s	an insta triple instead yeah either way
9713s	it's going to be good
9715s	you can go level cell level
9718s	triple
9720s	oh no sorry that's next turn it's gonna
9722s	be two turns away so you might have
9723s	taken the past to a little bit of a
9725s	beating first
9729s	foreign
9735s	's 18 gold
9737s	plus you've got a level in the meantime
9740s	you might as well take the bribe right
9742s	really
9746s	I I was kind of looking at red hand
9748s	again there is that kind of inherent
9751s	Synergy that you have between uh the
9753s	Specter and the the red hand as I said
9755s	where you don't have to leave anything
9756s	in your hand because it puts it into
9759s	your hand and then Buffs it at the uh
9762s	the start of your turn
9764s	foreign
9765s	yeah
9768s	I mean it was just cheap enough because
9770s	you're going to spend so much money
9771s	leveling in the next couple of turns
9772s	anyway yeah I I do think I quite
9775s	consistently undervalue and I'm a bribe
9777s	to be fair as is offered here again with
9780s	beasts and something what was the other
9782s	option I didn't see I didn't quite see
9785s	but beast in the shop that's still fine
9797s	uh with a bit of a lackluster set of
9801s	minions khadgar with limited Synergy
9805s	right now and then I wanted to drop and
9807s	again the the Kathy also with very
9809s	limited Synergy you see on seven dragons
9811s	or demons
9813s	um evil twin okay
9818s	Shield 35 golden mirror Shield okay yeah
9822s	that's that's doable
9825s	yeah but how good is mirror Shield this
9828s	light
9830s	I know we've got murlocs for which
9832s	hasn't come up all too much you get some
9834s	Synergy there like murlocution that's
9836s	fine yeah
9839s	little balls out though which definitely
9841s	works nicely with the Ryan Shields is
9849s	having a look around the houses nothing
9853s	totally different to the last Lobby
9855s	where everybody just had everything
9856s	busted by about now it's about where the
9858s	last Lobby kicked off this one's much
9860s	more of what we've seen most of the
9861s	weekend a bit of a grindy Lobby
9863s	what's even happening in that shop oh
9866s	wow
9867s	uh I mean unfortunately this is going on
9870s	why there's traffic
9873s	well it's uh
9876s	pass right but yeah it's great kind of
9881s	unfortunately you get specifically the
9882s	tabby cats and not the Alley Cats which
9885s	would help you to get another gold
9888s	uh but it's still okay the question just
9890s	really whether you want to go for
9893s	three or four drop you can definitely
9895s	get away with holding off for another
9896s	turn here right
9899s	yep
9904s	yep and nature as well still on tier two
9906s	on seven gold which is fine on tests of
9908s	course
9914s	uh the quest here for taurusan is play
9917s	five battle crime minions and then you
9919s	get Snicker snacks to trigger their
9921s	battles at the end of each turn which
9924s	you know there's some limited Synergy
9926s	there already with uh the Alley Cat the
9929s	houndmaster which probably is why we saw
9931s	him push onto the cow Master instead of
9932s	the amalgam
9935s	it's going to be weird right though
9936s	because triggering the cats at the end
9939s	of your term means you're gonna have
9940s	four right ones on your board if you're
9942s	trying to set up just just a pair let
9943s	alone a triple it's going to be pretty
9945s	good those could very well be gotten rid
9947s	of soon there's one more battle crime
9949s	than you needed though okay very very
9951s	doable here
9955s	I think so looked like he took another
9957s	loss there as well right towards the
9960s	bottom of the health totals uh at this
9962s	point
9966s	oh okay tripling into a five drop now
9968s	here is uh Yun Chang definitely where
9971s	you want to be if you're going for some
9972s	Beast Synergy for uh Mama Bear crocolisk
9975s	uh
9977s	the little baby crush a lot of good
9980s	stuff here
9981s	has managed to not these and quite a lot
9984s	of gold as well which I thought was
9986s	gonna be difficult on this hero but by
9987s	picking up Relentless cats he's managed
9989s	to get the economy these okay well this
9992s	is going to help so much
9996s	getting that extra gold there to sell
9998s	through yeah I didn't realize he'd lost
10000s	the previous round that does make a big
10001s	difference yeah I didn't realize either
10003s	but he is gonna yeah
10005s	yeah
10007s	I respect it me too I thought he was
10010s	gonna take longer than this
10012s	um
10013s	in time to not be a disaster
10016s	we can
10018s	that's seven even if you go buy sell
10021s	sell sell buy you're still not able to
10022s	quite get there so it looks like it's
10024s	not going to be until next turn that we
10026s	see
10027s	uh the quest come online the animal
10029s	bribe come online right
10031s	um it's the Mirror Mirror Shield oh is
10034s	it mirror oh apologies I'm confused
10037s	yeah right you are okay
10039s	which is a nice stabilizer right there's
10041s	a huge amount of tempo immediately
10043s	yep yeah I thought he was gonna get it
10045s	for another couple of turns but he just
10046s	went straight for it
10049s	um found a way to get it done in pretty
10050s	good time all right zixo walking away
10052s	with a bran here though which is again
10055s	another one of those potential big
10056s	stabilizers even if it's an immediate
10058s	big hit to Tempo after it looks like he
10060s	got the triple on the amalgam uh but you
10065s	know again currently little Synergy not
10067s	much that he's going to be able to make
10068s	work with it right now as he gets a very
10070s	important hit to take out the amalgam
10071s	and only take five instead of seven
10073s	damage uh on this turn but it needs to
10076s	be immediate now physics so he really
10078s	cannot afford to lose much more Health
10080s	at all yep has got the bribe though so
10083s	Synergy aside this is one of those
10085s	quests where you just buy and sell stuff
10087s	you've got a brand you'll get to the
10089s	point where you just buy anything with a
10090s	Battle Cry and and sell it and buy buy
10093s	Whatever Gets buffed it's not quite as
10095s	easy as I'm making it sound by saying it
10097s	like that but
10098s	you get the point it should be okay to
10101s	not have huge Synergy until later on
10104s	well there it is finally activates it
10107s	with the seventh demon being played that
10108s	was a pretty clutch demon to actually
10109s	bind with the Mind mark
10115s	what choice is now Tad's fantastic here
10119s	oh as is the reef
10124s	the Explorers are actually ridiculous
10125s	Brown look at this the amount of stats
10128s	that's going to go into this shop after
10129s	he um oh yeah this explores some reefs
10142s	to all
10143s	another Tad I I think I would have had
10146s	it I want to just go yeah agreed yeah
10148s	yeah
10152s	the state of the more starts from the
10154s	swole fins you can just sell those with
10156s	the animal bribe this is such a big turn
10158s	yeah oh my God look at the stats he's
10161s	getting and War lead is really really
10163s	good with drive as well because
10164s	obviously all of your murlocs are now
10166s	buffed when you sell them
10168s	now
10172s	can you convince me what on the anime
10174s	that was strong that was very very
10176s	strong and also we get to see the
10178s	difference between the servers right
10179s	because he was moving at lightning speed
10181s	yeah which a lot of the other players
10183s	may not have had access to also true
10186s	which just makes it all the point of
10188s	balancing these the only European by the
10190s	way to get through yeah anywhere that
10192s	subtle and Raven connection after this
10194s	tournament when you need them
10196s	oh look at this not even close
10199s	absolutely tearing this one apart and
10202s	that's occur to us that's an early game
10203s	courteous
10207s	bam where these
10213s	zigzo from electro as well deflector is
10217s	the last thing in the shop there will be
10218s	quite entertaining but what's going on
10220s	with SSA with all this stuff I actually
10222s	got so many minions okay just press
10224s	Heist yeah uh so he's got a lot of money
10229s	to work with
10231s	uh dragons or demons to complete the
10233s	quest for an evil twin
10236s	reckons or demons okay well he has a
10238s	couple
10240s	you know I see a dragon and an amalgam
10242s	yeah an evil twin is good actually for
10244s	him evilton is a very nice one
10248s	evil twin on Mex and Elementals for me
10251s	are found to be really good I'm sure
10253s	there's other examples but the the mechs
10254s	usually have a Divine Shield
10257s	and the Elementals tend to just be large
10260s	yeah you're evil twinning a 35-70 rock
10263s	or something it's not amazing but it's
10264s	fine
10266s	and obviously on Max it's nutty he's got
10268s	a
10269s	get the Buffs in the right places which
10271s	is why he's taking his time making sure
10273s	the thing he wants to be 25 is actually
10276s	the thing he gets 25.
10278s	if there's a demon but I believe he
10281s	still needs one more after that uh in
10283s	order to actually activate the quest so
10285s	he might see him hold off on that
10287s	at the moment or maybe you still end up
10289s	buying it but uh of course I'm still
10290s	trying to keep the rest of your board as
10291s	strong as possible in the meantime
10294s	uh Harvest Golem kind of tempting to
10296s	hold on to just for a guaranteed reset
10298s	on the deflectors you do have that with
10301s	the death rattled
10303s	annoyo module
10308s	just getting worried that zeko did take
10310s	a a low deflecto sort of mid teens low
10313s	teens size I would go for threes to go
10316s	for a massive one just just plain
10317s	sensibly yeah a strong spot doesn't need
10319s	to go crazy similar to what we saw when
10322s	he was on animal bribe with Daryl uh
10324s	yesterday when
10327s	it was just like a sensible kind of
10329s	place just mid-tier minions which is
10330s	enough to see you through to the late
10331s	game which is what he needs to do like
10333s	he cannot afford another seventh or
10335s	eighth place and have a chance really no
10338s	I agree
10339s	um but a third or set you know hopefully
10341s	a win but a first or second would be
10343s	great but even a third or fourth plenty
10344s	of points to get him still in there but
10345s	like you say towards the bottom end now
10347s	yeah a third starts to make it look like
10350s	a stability this is just a wipeout by
10354s	the way wow just dead
10356s	that's Alicia's son so
10359s	we're only going to um another Lobby
10362s	it's on vibusa and Alex now to try and
10364s	get to check otherwise we might be going
10365s	to Lobby five with nobody putting the
10368s	lobby in check which would be pretty
10370s	amazing
10371s	double Primal fin offered like I know
10374s	you have zero murloc inclinations
10376s	whatsoever but that always hurts to pass
10379s	up like I can't look at that and uh see
10382s	him roll past it
10386s	all right nothing absolutely nothing
10390s	here for Taurus and who has got a decent
10393s	Baseline power level but the scaling is
10396s	really not there like double big fernel
10399s	Ah that's not question is the end of
10402s	turn Battle Cry Quest apparently so at
10405s	least this thing will be eating
10406s	something from the shop but true double
10408s	its stats as well it's pretty big
10411s	I think here and again you're on Tessy
10414s	you know you don't need to panic but I'm
10416s	tempted to try and get to 60 and go
10418s	looking for fail bats as quickly as
10419s	possible with an overseer on the board
10420s	and some fairly big demons already
10422s	while I'm on 40 health because that's
10424s	going to start going wrong soon either
10426s	way
10430s	all right six so again trying to
10433s	stabilize here getting an activation on
10435s	the cookie mind Mark is one of the cards
10438s	you would be probably happier to see
10441s	obviously you would love to see the
10444s	Hydra in the shop as that is one of the
10446s	biggest mummies I've ever seen in my
10448s	life uh but getting the Hydra in hand is
10452s	not really good enough without anima
10454s	bribing it
10455s	yeah but getting into the shop as you
10457s	say the second that's gonna turns up six
10459s	is going to get a giant hydrant notice
10461s	that not worried about leveling just
10463s	doesn't need to like we've seen that for
10465s	most of the lobby uh then goes to you
10468s	know who who likes to make big boards he
10471s	is up there and says to say who is able
10473s	to with that togwagon massive Heist we
10475s	saw also even though it's just chilling
10477s	on four
10482s	surprisingly close fight actually I
10484s	thought this would be a runaway for the
10485s	sick so but
10487s	it's
10489s	probably a loss now yeah guaranteed
10493s	right with the death threat oh damn
10494s	close one
10497s	yeah he's fined although again yeah it's
10500s	okay he can probably take one more loss
10502s	in addition to this given that he's
10504s	relatively strong and probably won't get
10506s	steamrolled
10507s	uh but I mean if a room goes through
10510s	what even is this like it was a demon's
10512s	board before now transitioning over into
10515s	failback Lord feel that in hand and uh
10518s	in hand he just he just raced to six and
10521s	yeah I did you know
10523s	what I get on the right way I get there
10525s	and if I get to six I'm gonna have
10526s	something and fell back trickster it's
10529s	all right to me elbowing his quest
10531s	finally gets it done to play dragons or
10533s	murlocs and Alter Ego is his reward
10536s	which is kind of nice with a fail but
10538s	it's not that it's not the best of
10539s	rewards in general but with the bat it's
10541s	gonna be okay
10543s	okay I like taking the Primal fins try
10545s	and find toxfin misses
10548s	uh but Tad could still give him a Hail
10550s	Mary for it you never know
10553s	uh once another Minion type ideally
10556s	restrictions
10562s	oh two jokes available should you so
10564s	desire
10569s	I think I always struggle with compared
10571s	to the top players is just exactly
10574s	when to take jugs and the answer seems
10577s	to be always
10578s	yeah I mean in this situation when
10580s	you're buffing pretty key minions uh
10582s	specifically the Harvest Golem oh it's
10584s	gone the faux Reaper sorry which is such
10585s	a big difference maker
10591s	now this is where the the comp gets
10594s	formed exactly what he wants to do he
10596s	wants to get his film battle tricks are
10597s	down now so he needs to decide what's
10599s	getting sold this is the the point just
10601s	don't go with the trickster just not
10602s	gonna bother
10607s	yeah I think the question was whether
10608s	you go for like a re-roll there to try
10610s	and hit slightly better minions but
10612s	these look good enough you know you can
10614s	hope for specifically even cost Minions
10616s	that have bigger stats but that's far
10619s	from guaranteed
10623s	gas coiler okay
10628s	huge phone Reaper that pickup making all
10631s	the difference in despite I mean maybe
10634s	the big phone would have been enough but
10635s	it's nice for the for future fights if
10637s	nothing else as well
10639s	yeah see why you didn't want the
10641s	trickster it's looking fine anyway
10645s	probably too late as well it's turned 10
10648s	trickster has stopped with a zero burst
10651s	there's no you've got the ultra ego you
10652s	haven't got anything huge in the shop
10654s	buffing yet I guess
10655s	it would have taken a while to get to a
10656s	sensible level then you've got to give
10658s	it taunt or whatever
10660s	yeah Alex with double Divine Shield
10663s	taragosa that's nice of course but very
10665s	limited Synergy with this
10669s	trickster with no parasol uh no parrot
10673s	oh
10676s	uh Baron rivendare either it's going to
10678s	be difficult to scale that into a
10680s	winning composition as opposed to just a
10681s	high Tempo play whereas say here what on
10684s	Earth is happening with this board
10686s	golden Reef Explorer with bran this is
10690s	infinity value
10692s	is but also where is it going well
10695s	actually where it's going if there's no
10696s	bigger Buster in the shop okay I'm
10697s	happier now he's spent a couple of turns
10700s	getting to six with the or the board
10703s	that would get I was a little bit scared
10704s	for a minute like yeah this infinite
10706s	value what you're going to do but yeah
10707s	with that Omega Buster waiting at the
10708s	end of the line it's going to be
10711s	absolutely fine to have all this value
10712s	uh how does he get four minions
10715s	discovered here yeah okay
10720s	oh it might be funny what do you want he
10721s	wants more Busters
10723s	yeah Busters but you'll take uh
10728s	a mantid methinks you can use the War
10731s	gear here to make sure he gets the thing
10733s	he wants to be the biggest as the
10735s	biggest of the true twin does that end
10739s	up as a Mega Buster no probably not yet
10742s	just get triple um
10745s	people debris
10748s	when else do you get to get three
10752s	um death rattled deflectos three
10754s	dewberries yeah don't you very often at
10757s	all there's enough room for evil twin
10759s	though did he forget yeah he he's got
10762s	because he does now have a 3-4 micro
10764s	mummy instead of a 1914. there's a lot
10767s	of things on this board yeah the bus
10770s	just kind of just lurking somewhere in
10772s	the middle of the board
10774s	there
10777s	oh it's all right that's fine
10780s
10783s	meant it all along look your tail from
10785s	his face yeah yeah all played Four got
10787s	mate oh look at this reset he gets
10790s	because thanks to the mummy yeah
10791s	absolute setup all right well bailed out
10795s	of that one I suppose as he's able to
10797s	stay in this game for a turn longer
10799s	every single point being a b
10801s	difference though remember
10805s	as well six are getting some
10808s	nice big stats online now as well
10811s	don't really matter which you pick here
10814s	we're all trash
10816s	yep
10819s	chance of a giant triple mummy
10822s	Amber Guardian number two is very
10824s	interesting though
10826s	with one already in play one golden
10828s	mummy actually yeah that's huge
10830s	chooses to sell off the overseer and not
10833s	the mama which um
10836s	is interesting
10837s	but this is more stats in the long run
10843s	sure yeah you just set it off and off
10847s	you go and get big oh my goodness it's
10849s	getting really big my Lord
10855s	yeah that can go that can go
10858s	and now let's find us aunted
10864s	okay yes
10867s	gotta be right yeah I was just trying my
10869s	brain is now at the stage where anything
10871s	that says buff on it my brain's going
10872s	can it be done before you sell Omega
10874s	Buster no you can't sell things in
10876s	combat move on carry on good talk I mean
10879s	you have three Mexico wasn't absurd but
10881s	I I do think just
10883s	the manted
10884s	Guardian will give the Divine Shield to
10887s	the poisoned
10890s	amalgam
10893s	that's nice
10895s	all these little things that the top
10897s	players make sure work hmm I'd just
10900s	accidentally have two dragons in play
10902s	here or something for no reason
10904s	what we're looking for now to really
10905s	upgrade this physics so is obviously
10907s	annoya module being number one I think
10908s	to give Divine Shield to this massive
10910s	micro mummy and taunt it as well which
10912s	is pretty relevant to guarantee it dies
10914s	off for the
10916s	reflecto and then I think just the usual
10919s	Suite of like uh Leroy's maybe a tunnel
10923s	Blaster more mantis as well
10926s	this might be dumb right but do you want
10928s	to not give this mummy taunt so it can't
10930s	be Leeward so easily
10932s	oh maybe so huge do you want to actually
10934s	now sort of protect its hugeness that's
10937s	an interesting point
10939s	oh no that poison is a disaster physics
10943s	so he's gonna die
10946s	oh hit the bat if you can hit the bat as
10948s	you like
10949s	50 50. oh
10952s	you might have been dead anyway yeah he
10954s	was dead no matter what oh man stick so
10957s	that's a seventh again he's tilted man
10960s	and I mean I can't blame him like Fair
10963s	played him these have been some brutal
10965s	games and that was some bad luck it
10967s	feels like he's tried everything as well
10969s	like he had the reckon issue I'm not
10971s	gonna die early I'm just gonna come top
10973s	four and then runs into the two Lobby
10975s	leaders when having a pretty decent
10976s	Health total and an okay Tempo board you
10979s	know a sort of fifth place looking board
10981s	these had a couple of really big high
10983s	roll games like the one he just had to
10984s	just run into the wrong thing at the
10985s	wrong time and yeah he's having a
10988s	terrible time of it today
10993s	yeah just nothing working in his favor
10996s	all right what are we looking to buff in
10998s	nice big rat on the other side
11003s	big rat real big rap but honestly kind
11006s	of a really really big that damn it it's
11009s	huge
11011s	what a weird situation right there's
11012s	nothing that's really working
11016s	in your right here like do you give up
11019s	some of the stats do you freeze a bad
11020s	Tavern
11022s	just take the rat and let the rest of
11024s	the stats go see what you mean I kind of
11027s	want the
11030s	leaper because it is the Battle Cry and
11033s	you have two calagos on board plus the
11036s	the wealth trainer obviously how about
11038s	by the leapers sell it sell the
11040s	amalgaman hand that you're obviously
11041s	hanging on to but right I guess or sell
11044s	the 615 and then freeze what's left yeah
11046s	I like that oh the freeze at the end I'm
11049s	not entirely sure but yeah sure okay was
11052s	your only freeze you're not you're not
11053s	spending a whole gold freezing this shop
11055s	you're spending a third of a gold
11056s	freezing his shot
11058s	fair enough yeah
11064s	if you've gone the other way if you've
11065s	just been like two 17 17s or whatever in
11067s	the shop maybe you let it go that's
11069s	still a lot of stats to waste with a
11070s	bribe going on
11072s	but yeah you're not wasting stuff
11073s	something like that yeah I'm trying to
11075s	figure out how much uh wasting a third
11077s	of a gold is is uh Beyond me I'm not
11080s	used to Imperial money
11083s	sorry is that another age joke but yeah
11086s	um
11088s	it'll be packed soon we'll be okay
11091s	um
11093s	yeah
11095s	oh yes there's two-fifths of a gold
11097s	right you're still getting half of a
11099s	refresh yes
11101s	that farting
11102s	the Farthing a bit
11106s	all right this time we see the uh the
11110s	giant deflector coming through on the
11112s	evil twin coming in clutch as it should
11115s	be enough to take the win here maybe a
11119s	tie on of the death rat would be enough
11120s	to character yeah but not a kill uh as
11123s	Rim goes who is still just about hanging
11125s	on in there uh kind of unclear wow so
11129s	we've got you on that thing sorry Doug
11130s	talking over you it just kept going
11133s	uh I mean taking a look around it's kind
11135s	of unclear unlike previous lobbies who
11137s	is the clear winner at this point who is
11141s	going to be taking down this lobby as no
11142s	player has like an obvious Elementals
11145s	nagas Exodia obvious combo uh that's
11148s	going to be taking them down the game
11149s	it's very scrappier much more Quest
11151s	dependent as well yeah which makes me
11154s	wonder if a person on the den atheist is
11156s	going to have just enough to get there
11157s	as this pans out because with the bribe
11160s	going on and the the one that gives you
11163s	a copy of the last minion right
11166s	um You should have a lot of value and a
11168s	lot of ongoing stats
11169s	yeah I mean that's clearly how he's got
11171s	two golden amalgams right up until this
11174s	point maybe he can get himself a golden
11177s	uh caligos but I just feel like almost
11180s	every combat the amalgam is going to be
11182s	the last thing that dies given they're
11183s	so big
11185s	uh I'm not saying that he's favored on
11187s	anything other than having the best
11189s	Quest just having a quick look make sure
11190s	there's someone who hasn't got I think
11191s	really crazy so Alex is on a red hand as
11193s	you can see here which
11196s	turn 14 you don't even have time to sort
11198s	of get a hydra and hold it in your hand
11201s	for three turns and make it huge you're
11202s	just a little bit your work here is done
11205s	with the red hand I think
11207s	this is a social dropping hints
11210s	with the twin yeah that's a good Shout
11213s	big old twin yeah
11217s	hey I mean this is a decent board right
11219s	it's not scaling at all but it's a very
11222s	high bass line
11224s	power level
11227s	yes final form isn't it yeah three
11230s	million Types on the
11233s	right on the mounted Queens as well both
11236s	like honestly it feels like a lot of
11237s	players are kind of reaching that state
11238s	where they're locked into their end game
11240s	comp with no real or limited power to
11244s	scale beyond that
11245s	yeah it's also just had that little
11247s	Battle Cry going at 80 83 demon that's
11249s	just been sitting there chugging up
11250s	every turn like this isn't getting much
11253s	bigger for murloc homes or for the tests
11255s	either it's just kind of locked in as
11257s	yeah poison Divine Shield Leroy nonsense
11261s	uh which you know the Poison's probably
11263s	going to be being the demons here right
11265s	I don't think there's enough stuff on
11266s	the other side to stand up against all
11268s	this
11269s	a little piece of reminder
11271s	um only needing to get top four to get
11275s	the lobby in check Alex needing to win
11277s	the lobby or come second and there we go
11279s	there's Alex getting uh
11282s	held on this one or asan and Alex going
11285s	down damn all right and River
11288s	surviving oh one
11289s	one man
11291s	the 20 point
11293s	s that's so sick
11295s	um if so can you just flick away and
11297s	back again we've got a camera situation
11299s	thank you appreciate it
11304s	Young Chang
11306s	look how he's getting on
11308s	let's move a piece of back on now
11311s	on basically doing nothing I mean you
11314s	could taunt up another one of your
11316s	minions I don't really know what it
11317s	offers you to be perfectly honest it's
11318s	more just a Battle Cry uh you're playing
11321s	here to further increase your stats he's
11323s	going in on another amalgo all right
11325s	let's go come on
11327s	the queen just make it easy to get those
11329s	Shields yeah exactly with four minion
11331s	types in play plus the uh I'm sorry five
11334s	now
11335s	you must be essentially guaranteed the
11338s	uh the Divine Shield
11342s	yes
11343s	good old stuff with this bribe
11349s	look at all stuff stuff
11351s	I'm still looking at all these boards
11353s	wondering quite how zixo lost every
11355s	fight in a row for like four fights
11358s	because he was pretty big himself and
11360s	nothing's murdery I think he just get
11362s	poisons went to the wrong place a couple
11364s	of times and so on I mean it was just
11366s	lack of divided Shields I think really
11367s	in a such a poison heavy Lobby Divine
11370s	Shield heavy Lobby he had so much stats
11372s	but the losing fight for him he his
11375s	mummy got sniped by a tiny poison if
11378s	that exactly hadn't happened he would
11380s	have been able to stay in the game and
11382s	he never thought if as I said
11383s	right if he got module or cleave uh to
11387s	buff up really big he could have got
11388s	there as well yeah
11391s	all right now at the end game State
11392s	people the Levi's are starting to turn
11394s	up as you can see people have
11397s	stabilizers it's gonna be pretty big for
11399s	Windows here actually remember you've
11400s	got six really early with just a whole
11402s	comedy of cards
11406s	yeah even he's rapidly falling behind
11409s	now with this much poison going around
11411s	uh demons are not gonna be stacking up
11413s	well enough against this even if he does
11415s	have like you say a little bit of a
11416s	hodgepodge of other stuff going on
11419s	it's not going to be standing up as
11421s	River Pusa stays in again unable to
11424s	knock out his opponent but not going out
11425s	quite yet at this point it really
11428s	doesn't matter where he finishes from
11430s	now on in it's just about trying to deny
11431s	the players who are close to him in the
11434s	standings right they're all denied
11437s	he is going to be on his own putting the
11439s	lobby in check whatever happens here
11442s	um obviously the points still matter in
11445s	terms of who comes second third fourth
11446s	through to eighth but the winner will be
11448s	the person who wins while the Lobby's in
11450s	check so if a person get like a 20 point
11452s	a 20 point a five or ten point lead
11454s	guarantee that second place give him
11456s	even more Comfort to just shoot for the
11459s	Moon
11464s	okay more Divine oh sorry more poison to
11467s	go alongside all this Divine Shield like
11468s	this is what you're initially telling me
11470s	that I think I missed on the mirror is
11472s	that you can specifically go for this of
11475s	getting a bunch of divine Shields a
11477s	bunch of poisonous which is super strong
11478s	of course this you are very very happy
11480s	to see however the one scary thing is
11484s	that this is very vulnerable to Tech
11486s	right because you have a lot of divine
11488s	Shields a lot of poison this is very
11490s	strong if they find the tunnel Blaster
11492s	specifically though the rest of your
11495s	minions are just small static Divine
11497s	Shields which are really going to be
11498s	struggling against uh opposing uh Mex
11502s	opposing beasts opposing any death
11504s	rattle of any kind because almost all of
11506s	these get killed in one hit yeah you can
11509s	see what he's doing to mitigate that
11510s	though by leaving the selfless in play
11512s	uh-huh I wouldn't be surprised if you
11515s	take the baron and hold I wouldn't be
11516s	surprised to see him put the second
11517s	selfless in play or at least put the
11519s	bird somewhere weird to try and Trigger
11521s	that selfless yeah I do think this is a
11523s	weird bird kind of game
11525s	there we go on as well is very valuable
11529s	it's now so weird
11532s	yeah so he's gonna he's placing this for
11534s	tunnel Blaster but the birds there in
11536s	case there isn't a tunnel Blaster yeah
11538s	and he's playing around cleave with that
11540s	Baron positioning as well like it's
11543s	super funky but I get what he's going
11545s	for
11548s	okay because he knows he needs to
11549s	highball right look he's going to be a
11550s	person who's like you're winning the
11551s	lobby you go for the high roll
11553s	positioning and hope things just keep
11554s	hitting the right thing
11556s	just remember that this will take the
11557s	other piece of over 20 points if he wins
11560s	um but you have to win again then when
11562s	you're over 20 points it doesn't happen
11564s	in one go like sub question right yeah
11570s	I think you're gonna say for a second it
11571s	was like darts and if he goes over 20 he
11573s	goes back down or something which I was
11575s	not aware of in the rules
11577s	these are so double six to win but yeah
11579s	yeah exactly 14 and just goes all the
11583s	way back to 501 and starts again
11585s	unwinnable now for Young Chang with an
11587s	unfortunate end as it really looked like
11590s	he was going to be able to get there but
11591s	this is the problem right these tiny
11592s	Divine Shield minions if you run into
11594s	mechs with repeated Divine Shields death
11597s	rattles from Beasts it's too much as Rim
11600s	goes to and Yoon Chang fall down and
11602s	Ripper poosa is looking to potentially
11604s	get that first place whereas say
11607s	is currently at 12 and a half so he is
11613s	with a win looking to sell from looking
11615s	to get himself up to
11617s	19.5 points as close as it's possible to
11621s	get without being at that threshold
11624s	and once again we see say doing it with
11628s	like just stuff
11630s	it's a phrase I've used a bit too much
11632s	but look at this it's got lovely mantis
11634s	because of the two amalgams with poison
11636s	pretty much the best setup you can get
11637s	of nothing if that makes any sense the
11640s	best poison setup you get lots of divine
11642s	Shields really nicely set up but has
11644s	done it all the way with
11646s	whatever was available on the given turn
11649s	survive one more turn move on improve
11651s	move on rather than hey here's a comp
11653s	I'm aiming for
11658s	whereas on the other side significantly
11660s	more in terms of stats a decent amount
11663s	of divine shieldage but no
11666s	selfless
11668s	it's a very similar board isn't it
11669s	double Baron amalgam double Manta queen
11672s	and the other three cards of your stuff
11674s	cleave's big though cleave could be a
11676s	big uh Factor here I think yeah we're
11678s	moving three shields in one go is is
11680s	absolutely massive and even just this uh
11683s	mackerel right I always underestimate
11685s	how clutch that can be
11688s	yeah absolutely
11691s	with there being four five minion types
11695s	here on the board both of these mantids
11696s	are extremely likely to get Divine
11698s	Shield
11700s	yeah I really favor a river person here
11702s	but I think that he's up against a
11703s	pretty tough board
11705s	just counting Shields it's just not
11707s	going to add up in there I don't think
11709s	very clutched and thinner as well
11716s	yeah that cleave taking out one of the
11718s	poison them out because there was such a
11720s	big difference that's like two extra
11722s	poison hits that he just completely
11723s	deleted look at the positioning here as
11726s	well so the shields are going to get
11727s	cooked on this side now aha
11730s	okay good hit for CCC
11738s	oh Trading
11740s	oh no no that's such a bad hit for
11743s	riverpoosa losing the Divine Shield like
11745s	that it means we're going to end up in a
11747s	High probably gonna lose itself
11753s	no shot and SSA with that taking another
11757s	victory that I really didn't think he
11758s	was gonna do so and I think that smile
11760s	implies that he didn't think he was
11762s	gonna do it either and he ends up on 19
11765s	and a half points Lorinda that is so so
11770s	tantalizing that's cruel
11773s	he's gonna be in the lobby anyone got
11775s	half a point I can borrow I'll pay you
11776s	back tomorrow I promise that's half a
11779s	point it's all I need
11781s	oh man gonna be thinking back what could
11783s	I have done to not tie just finish what
11785s	like last one more round in previous
11787s	lobbies uh as we do have now a very
11790s	interesting situation only one player
11792s	above that 20 point threshold that says
11794s	they say clawing himself I believe into
11796s	second place now in uh the best possible
11798s	spot to enter their next turn and now
11801s	for all of our players it's time to
11804s	really start looking for wins rather
11806s	than just getting points yeah but also
11808s	looking for wins and making sure that
11810s	you just make sure to take some damage
11812s	along the way
11814s	um something that I think I think last
11816s	uh Lobby Legends before it players did
11818s	it a little bit better but most of the
11819s	tournaments we've had they have realized
11822s	too late they haven't paid attention to
11825s	the leader and they've noticed you still
11828s	get to the last three or four players
11829s	and you see somebody look at the board
11830s	and go oh we've lost but it's too late
11833s	by the time you look up you've got to
11834s	look up early go hey who's going to beat
11835s	us with a person right Tempo him all the
11838s	way and playing him next Tempo him
11841s	um especially if you do it without
11843s	cutting off your own chance to get into
11844s	check it's obviously a balancing act
11848s	been really interesting to see how this
11849s	one will shape out another Lobby there
11851s	where it feels like we were
11853s	back to the good old quest uh Reliance
11856s	there so then a hardcore comp being able
11859s	to get the job done and that's generally
11861s	what you're going to be seeing like it
11863s	feels to be whatever poison is available
11866s	and is jumped on
11868s	it's the
11870s	like it's generally the strongest thing
11872s	you could do but it doesn't lead to a
11874s	cohesive game plan quite so much so the
11876s	quests come in to play a lot more I
11879s	don't know if that quite makes sense
11880s	whereas with the uh the other way that
11883s	you're going about it with
11885s	um a strong specific win condition like
11888s	Elementals or nagas the quest doesn't
11889s	have quite so much Reliance on it uh and
11892s	I I gotta say I like these kind of games
11894s	where the quests have a big importance
11895s	and it's a lot of divine Shield a lot of
11897s	poison there's a lot of text you have
11899s	access to where you can go for something
11901s	like tunnel Blaster but then it's going
11902s	to be counteracting your own Divine
11904s	Shields which can be very scary you can
11906s	go for the cleave as we saw there coming
11907s	in super clutch for River Pusa almost
11909s	able to give him the win uh it's just
11912s	such intricate Dynamics and the smallest
11915s	difference can lead to a winner or loss
11917s	I feel yeah I think what we're seeing as
11919s	well is there's two tiers of Heroes
11922s	there's gallywix Mill House cookie a
11925s	couple of others that just go okay I
11926s	don't necessarily need the quest but
11928s	that'd be great thanks
11930s	um and then there's all the others which
11931s	go okay
11933s	I'm gonna have to use a quest so last
11935s	Lobby in particular was very heavy in
11937s	sort of gold cheating
11939s	Heroes
11942s	um where we had the lobby where the
11943s	quests were ignored whereas this time
11945s	around not so much
11948s	um at least not on a massive scale
11949s	obviously murloc homes does cheat some
11951s	gold and so you have to rely on the
11953s	quest to to level things up and I wonder
11955s	if that will be a thing we see going
11957s	forward but there is that leaderboard as
11961s	we've talked about worst position fourth
11963s	place in those first four lobbies
11965s	and Alicia sand the real Heartbreaker of
11968s	this lobby with the so close uh a first
11971s	a second uh what a fourth as well or a
11974s	joint third I suppose uh at the time oh
11977s	sorry it wasn't worth uh almost being
11979s	able to get through to the uh the
11980s	20-point threshold which is taking a
11982s	disastrous last place to end up outside
11985s	of it uh with I think Alicia and zixo
11988s	ending up the saddest players out of all
11990s	of that as that was just another
11992s	disastrous Lobby uh for zixo through no
11995s	real thought of his own I really liked
11997s	the strategy he was going for again it
11999s	felt like rack an issue last time and
12001s	I'm a bribed this time two back-to-back
12003s	strategies that are like you to get a
12005s	top four finish but they just didn't he
12007s	just got some unlucky hit some unlucky
12009s	opponents and just couldn't make it work
12011s	because of his lack of divine Shields
12013s	yeah and he has to go for wins I know
12015s	that's sort of stating the obvious but
12016s	the way the numbers work out he needs
12018s	two first places just to get the lobby
12021s	in check going into Lobby seven and for
12024s	scale of the four we've had so far Lobby
12026s	Legends only one of them has gone to
12028s	Lobby seven at all wow so really is a
12031s	case if he needs to win those two now
12034s	um stop people from winning it because
12035s	he's won them and then get to Lobby
12037s	seven with the lobby and check himself
12040s	all right with that said and done we are
12042s	going to go to a break before we come
12043s	back to potentially the final game of
12047s	the weekend if we can see River Pusa
12050s	taking the win but more likely it's
12052s	going to be going for a couple more uh
12054s	so don't go anywhere we are reaching at
12056s	the finale of Lobby Legends magic of
12059s	Azeroth very soon

12260s	welcome back everyone to Hearthstone
12261s	Battlegrounds Lobby Legends magic of
12265s	Azeroth thank you so much for watching
12266s	us all throughout the weekend it's been
12269s	a pleasure to cast all of these
12271s	fantastic players in their struggle to
12274s	become the lobby Legend of this
12276s	particular tournament uh we're getting
12279s	to that point where it could be done
12280s	River Pusa again at 20 point threshold
12283s	so a win from him specifically first
12285s	place only will crown him as our
12288s	champion Lorinda as we jump right into
12290s	the game which you love to see but you
12292s	were hoping for a turnaround right one
12294s	of the lower tiered players to claw
12296s	their way up perhaps yeah I don't mind
12298s	either way I mean I might have one of
12299s	the lower tiered players claws their way
12301s	right they're back and then I'd like to
12303s	see River Pusa win in some ways but yeah
12305s	also want to see somebody just go win
12307s	win win from the bottom as he had a
12309s	choice there between the farm and
12310s	zephyrus decided that zephyrus is the
12312s	the more High rolly of the two which is
12314s	quite a tough choice to make
12318s	um the armor may be swinging it that way
12320s	obviously you can just get some crazy
12321s	things happen with Zephyr sometimes
12324s	all right the almost obligatory murloc
12327s	and danathrius having been picked
12329s	already no surprises there
12333s	but what do we have on danathius's Quest
12336s	a turn one spend 30 gold is quite a lot
12340s	have 12 friendly minions die a little
12342s	bit easier I want to say on Tiny
12344s	henchmen especially with pirates
12346s	available to get the uh scallywag on
12350s	turn one mummy is well available for Mex
12354s	yeah I wonder if the henchman isn't
12357s	yeah you take the henchman don't you
12359s	okay takes the goal interesting okay
12361s	they're both kind of nasty like you're
12363s	describing
12364s	um the henchman's the worst reward but
12365s	if you're getting it done early because
12367s	you started early not because it's
12369s	particularly easy to do
12371s	the henchmen will be kicking in
12373s	right turn five turns six actually have
12375s	some value but fair enough it is a
12377s	pretty Grim reward a lot of the time how
12380s	do we feel as well about picking the
12382s	swabby and then playing it on turn one
12385s	as opposed to going for a a level and
12387s	then playing it afterwards as is I don't
12390s	know I feel like the play I usually end
12391s	up going for nowadays I usually hold so
12395s	I'm going to work that one out never
12397s	mind stay low
12402s	right right okay because now he is
12405s	holding it right because next time he's
12406s	got level by
12409s	freeze the scallywagon oh sorry the
12411s	swabby again
12413s	uh or just take a three depending we'll
12415s	take a three yeah exactly you have
12417s	options
12418s	also because he's got to spend 30 gold
12422s	right he might take the Naga next turn
12425s	as well for the coin as to see what that
12427s	goes that's true yeah it could be like
12429s	buy coin buys uh the scallywag instead
12434s	there are again ways that you can
12435s	maneuver this
12438s	see what he does he might really need
12440s	the the three to appear as well see how
12443s	he does this
12444s	majority of players going for the level
12445s	though uh uh and
12449s	you can see River Post of the plane the
12450s	way sorry the player that we're keeping
12452s	the closest eye on on zephyrus which we
12455s	haven't seen all too much of and the one
12456s	time we have I think it's performed
12458s	pretty poorly uh but looks like it's not
12460s	gonna be a three on three or we would
12462s	have seen it already the only player
12464s	doing so obviously zixo on the togwaggle
12467s	uh and wow actually taurusan on murloc
12470s	homes also with a three on three
12473s	oh he's just going for it Alex is here
12476s	love it full hold oh this is greedy
12481s	so much available next turn to him
12485s	I mean he knows the cookie has gone
12486s	three on three right which means you're
12488s	gonna be facing a three drop maybe
12490s	saying I'm dying anyway oh sorry you're
12493s	gonna be facing not a three drop a
12494s	discovered minion up to tap and tier
12496s	three did a person also holding stuff
12498s	obviously he's gonna take maximum like
12500s	extreme strategy so not so surprising
12503s	here
12504s	uh to wins the fight anyway because
12506s	everyone's doing the same thing hey
12509s	what quest is gonna be crucial perhaps
12511s	for the whole tournament what he gets
12513s	offered here and how greedy he chooses
12515s	to be
12520s	okay
12522s	stolen gold refreshed ten times that's
12525s	doable for sure it's just about how much
12527s	you want the stolen gold no beasts in
12530s	the lobby which makes that a little
12531s	worse probably looking at Specter here
12534s	I've got to say
12536s	or death battles should be doable Mayhem
12540s	yeah again we can't see the shop though
12542s	it makes it a little tougher
12546s	okay
12547s	okay you've got a self-look too that's
12549s	enough
12551s	and again I'm not a not a particularly
12553s	um
12554s	Earth shattering
12556s	instead of quest they're not when you're
12558s	looking to win and win only but nice
12560s	enough
12561s	okay zix are on a crucial turn with
12563s	togwaggle as well ends up on friends we
12567s	made along the way
12569s	favor uh I didn't see what particular
12572s	minion type it would be offered to him
12575s	but that is some potential Extra Value
12577s	later on not necessarily the highest uh
12579s	immediate Tempo quest one that is very
12582s	high Tempo is mirror Shield dragons and
12585s	mechs you know there's a dragon in the
12587s	shop is uh potentially something you
12589s	could be looking at because someone 15
12592s	minions for friends along the way is
12594s	quite a lot so immersion or just bail
12597s	out on powerstar but he doesn't wow
12599s	friends okay okay let's have a Golem in
12603s	play already I guess that's true
12605s	catch you in some ways you want Alex
12608s	already completing
12611s	um
12613s	second Quest was the sequesty coin not
12615s	the first one attorney discovered it
12617s	that's insane so holding back all those
12619s	pirates he held everything and exactly
12622s	yeah
12623s	and it worked out
12624s	so I don't think we've actually seen uh
12626s	teal tiger sphere is that what it's
12628s	called as the uh the one that was
12630s	offered there where you get plus one
12633s	plus one for each time you've refreshed
12635s	the shop uh
12641s	it's how I pronounce it it's how we do
12643s	it in the South how are we talking to
12644s	the South without we just go sphere you
12646s	know yeah yeah this is fair uh plus one
12648s	plus one for each time the tavern was
12650s	refreshed this turn to me I've got to be
12651s	honest it feels like one of the ones I'm
12653s	less happy to see I just never know
12654s	quite how to make it work too well
12658s	I took it a lot when like the first day
12661s	when I didn't really know what anything
12662s	was doing and it's not as bad as maybe
12664s	it's got a reputation for because
12666s	there's a couple of things are better uh
12668s	you just you know you just play the game
12670s	and sometimes you just roll four or five
12672s	times maybe you find a lease in the shop
12673s	and your last things are all nine nines
12675s	and ten times sure yeah get some nice
12677s	big Divine it's only good for maybe like
12680s	two turns if you can't complete it
12681s	pretty much instantly you soon get out
12683s	tempered okay which is why it's so big
12686s	for Alex that he was able to do so
12687s	especially because he is on such eight
12689s	low Health total at this point really
12691s	wants to stabilize and get himself into
12693s	that check position
12695s	real hodgepodge though for Rim gosu
12697s	right now
12700s	yeah no direction whatsoever just trying
12703s	to get stats on board right now no
12705s	chance of a triple or I guess sorry pip
12707s	kind of counts as a pair uh in its own
12710s	right but limited chance it triples
12713s	yeah and still sort of working towards
12717s	what
12719s	not the greatest because it's the
12720s	specter's quest as well which is fine
12722s	we've seen it do well before but yeah
12724s	still any mediocre if you're this far
12726s	behind you want your quest to be
12727s	something absolutely nutty I think he
12729s	had at the start of your turn get two
12730s	random Naga as the the Quest for having
12733s	okay friends along the way sorry my bad
12735s	yeah yeah which again like could be good
12739s	if you get some clutch ones after Tavern
12741s	tearing up a lot
12743s	uh but far from guaranteed as danathius
12745s	falls down yet further 19 Health almost
12748s	in the danger zone and an absolutely
12750s	pathetic board what are the red hand
12753s	this though
12755s	probably otherwise otherwise he's dead
12758s	yeah I was gonna assume he red-handed
12760s	this
12766s	all right let's roll into a Divine stuff
12768s	and take two cards you know yeah
12772s	back like you can go
12776s	the boom bar and the iron Sensei is
12779s	where the most obvious Synergy is unless
12781s	you want to ignore that a little bit and
12784s	you could go boom bot plus the
12786s	uh the naga in order to just like have
12789s	some more nags in play in case you get
12791s	uh The Reef Commander but I
12795s	feel like it's just iron sensei in the
12797s	Boombox it might just be Iron sense
12799s	saying pass
12800s	hold something in hand I guess the red
12802s	hand does uh incentivize you to do so
12805s	fair enough
12807s	that one big minion should be able to it
12809s	shouldn't run into poison this early in
12811s	the game with no murlocs in so
12814s	should be able to take down most
12815s	opposition stuff and not take too much
12817s	damage
12819s	why should it be patient not taking
12821s	damage why aren't people hitting him
12829s	but he won that fight going into the
12831s	quest tournament right why isn't the
12834s	opponent going Max Tempo there to I'm
12837s	not saying you shouldn't look after
12837s	yourself that's not a criticism just
12839s	asking
12840s	um one of the options there is going Max
12841s	Tempo knowing that River Police has got
12843s	to hold and doing seven damage to it all
12846s	right otherwise he could just win the
12848s	lobby yeah it feels like players are
12850s	just too focused on their own game plan
12851s	right they don't have enough time to
12853s	specifically tailor High temper players
12855s	to kill their opponent uh as we see wow
12859s	River Pusa the player that we are
12860s	keeping an eye on if he wins this
12862s	tournament ends and he has crowned the
12864s	champion and he has two sets of pairs on
12868s	the board Tab and tier four and uh next
12871s	turn he can just get himself a six drop
12873s	if he wants
12874s	yeah and he's gonna want right he would
12877s	take a lot of probably
12879s	a lot of damage here
12881s	I mean he's probably gonna take a lot of
12883s	damage here he has a
12885s	snail Cavalry but that's it everything
12888s	else is almost irrelevant
12892s	not quite it's it's turn seven but you
12894s	know he's not winning fights with this
12901s	uh let me see Yun Chang uh leveling up
12904s	there we haven't really seen anything uh
12905s	from him so far but he hasn't been
12907s	losing fights so far so clearly stumping
12910s	working in his favor
12912s	at the moment
12919s	not looking like a winning board is it I
12921s	think he's
12923s	absolutely the next couple of turns
12925s	crucial there what is zigzo doing with
12928s	all this stuff he's doing lots of stuff
12931s	if nothing else yeah right there's a lot
12933s	going on with 10 seconds to go here he's
12936s	waitresses were at the end of the turn
12937s	yeah the APM needs to start moving he
12940s	gets the button he gets a triple oh my
12942s	God it's time to go
12948s	yeah fine you can get a six drop next
12951s	turn
12957s	trying to process all these low numbers
12959s	under 2029 at the end it just goes
12962s	straight into Divine Shield needs to be
12964s	mopping things up really
12966s	enjoy your Sixers day
12970s	it's like six so can just clutch this
12973s	one out 50 50 misses it okay takes
12977s	another unfortunate loss
12979s	yeah it crashed straight into the Divine
12981s	Shield which is the one thing it didn't
12982s	need to crash into the large minion but
12984s	he's got a really good turn coming up
12986s	here he does indeed wow a lot of stuff
12989s	popping up there on the left-hand side
12990s	of the screen quests going crazy uh
12993s	leveling up triples everything going on
12995s	now
12996s	uh Liverpool took a lot of damage uh we
12998s	saw that he'd set himself up with his
12999s	efforts to have
13002s	um a good turn this turn though
13004s	okay things really starting to to happen
13007s	for zixo there uh as you're saying
13010s	triples Galore here now available as
13012s	that was only the first triple uh
13015s	offered for riverposer I think gained
13016s	the old-fashioned way uh whereas now the
13019s	hero power being used
13022s	this is nice he hit the gold which he
13025s	really needed he's got a chance of
13026s	getting another thistle obviously as
13027s	well if he levels next turn
13032s	or if he just hits another pair he's got
13034s	the hero power still ready to go next
13036s	turn right yeah but what I'm thinking is
13038s	if you hit another this before using the
13040s	hero power depending how many he has
13042s	left the officer just being super greedy
13045s	so I should have specified that no it's
13047s	fine I think that was his first one
13050s	though because he doesn't have any other
13051s	golden minions and it it was a natural
13054s	wasn't it the one he sold the gold
13056s	Gambler I think so unless he hero
13059s	powered at the end of last turn which I
13061s	don't think he did
13063s	yeah seemed to feel like he sort of was
13066s	put the brakes on because time was
13068s	running out right uh problem is of
13071s	course there's a lot of different
13073s	uh nagas here which is good for
13077s	a moment to just get uh spellcraft
13079s	Synergy uh but you do really want to be
13081s	narrowing it down to three I think as
13083s	soon as possible uh rather than the full
13085s	six it's brand pretty large
13090s	oh the hero yeah the minion itself is
13092s	not but the yeah yeah so yeah the hero
13095s	but because of the minion band
13097s	presumably yeah yeah very threatening
13099s	minion brand
13102s	getting out there all right it's a
13105s	balanced diet down down to one more loss
13110s	available so it does need to get it done
13112s	this turn or we are going to see other
13113s	people getting into check
13116s	be one of the ways you can stop people
13118s	from winning the lobby is to Win It
13120s	Yourself is you know oh my God so much
13123s	stuff oh I guess it was actually the the
13124s	quest that gave him the completion Under
13126s	The Gambler at the end of the last time
13127s	which does make sense as he gets another
13129s	on the pashma here discovered this time
13133s	probably gonna end up being a critter
13134s	Wrangler for Pure stats but it's no
13136s	pairs uh could go for orgazoa I guess on
13140s	the triple which is very strong sure
13146s	he did press the button they just all
13148s	displayed in backwards order I think
13150s	yeah yeah right
13151s	and he is on tap into six so a thyssa is
13154s	available here ends up with another
13155s	Critter Wrangler instead another
13157s	murmidon offered would you consider
13160s	going for that for the Triple uh instead
13162s	of just doubling the stats I don't want
13164s	to do it for the stats but to stay alive
13166s	might be essential here it's got a lot
13168s	of um stuff in hand that can buff he
13171s	already has one though right I think
13172s	yeah
13174s	depends what he's up against and how he
13176s	feels that's going to go down
13178s	this is large what is this
13182s	just large stuff what is this it's a
13185s	really good question though I'm gonna
13186s	listen to you what is this
13189s	well I don't know the the name of that
13191s	card but the the Twilight
13193s	watch or whatever it's called that one
13195s	five of them there are five of them yeah
13199s	all right let's just see what happens
13201s	there are some Dragon fireworks gonna be
13202s	going on here
13207s	so sick don't even know what this is
13211s	or a wind demolished that's what it is
13214s	yeah it's just kind of gone that's not
13217s	even close is it
13218s	no
13220s	and the person with a double Wrangler
13223s	there
13224s	well okay these have high attack it's
13226s	kind of close it's definitely not lethal
13228s	damage that a leash Santa's taking and
13229s	he has some real scaling potential uh
13233s	with all of those uh
13235s	dragons just buffing up turn after turn
13238s	after turn but with River poster
13240s	surviving that and those dragons not be
13241s	able to do enough now he's gonna start
13245s	getting the benefits of all these
13246s	goldens in play
13250s	but now he's in position where he could
13252s	win this Lobby it's definitely possible
13254s	from here
13255s	they all know a thistle though we really
13257s	really want to be rolling into one of
13259s	those
13261s	or tripling
13264s	doesn't want to press the hero power
13265s	even though he of course has two uh what
13268s	two four Reapers two Wave Riders right
13273s	he's actually getting rid of those pairs
13274s	to avoid accidents when he does push the
13276s	button
13280s	something yeah it looks to just be
13283s	hoping to Triple into the
13285s	professor
13288s	very nice keeping the Wave Rider in hand
13290s	for as long as possible Right to avoid
13292s	buffing it where he doesn't need to
13294s	until he has the chance to hit the
13296s	second the fissure yeah just really nice
13297s	ordering
13300s	and now loads of stuff
13301s	I'm gonna have a big flying Foy for
13305s	death this could be looking at the turn
13306s	that could potentially set up the wind
13309s	for the whole tournament here because
13310s	this was a heck of a turn of
13312s	Battlegrounds uh this photo Reaper was a
13314s	lot better than I was expecting it to be
13316s	it's absolutely huge that's just winning
13318s	these fights on its own
13320s	yeah to the point where actually he went
13322s	you know what 62 attack that's enough
13324s	I'm going to buff some other things yeah
13327s	and he's gonna start locking people out
13328s	here
13330s	every single fight
13336s	this is hard to stop
13342s	no murlocs right people are gonna have
13343s	to outstand this
13346s	yeah rely on some mantis some leroys
13348s	that can start to help but boy oh boy
13352s	is this for Reaper just too much like
13354s	yeah the board's just kills this yeah
13356s	Bam Bam completely deleted yeah bye bye
13361s	on down six to go to win the tournament
13363s	Derek this seems to have happened so
13366s	many times in lobby Legends it really is
13368s	looking like it might happen again
13371s	just so well played by river Pusa uh you
13373s	really love to see it I think a very
13375s	liberal use of his hero power not
13377s	relying on specifically getting the
13378s	manted queen uh is I think exactly what
13381s	we wanted to see whereas now you know he
13383s	has the double discover of the golden uh
13388s	thank you
13388s	yeah uh Orca zoa Gorgonzola every turn
13396s	gorgonzola's a constructed card down oh
13398s	sorry my mistake
13401s	if I can tell me what it's called either
13403s	I mean what we used to call it but there
13405s	we go
13406s	um
13411s	you really want Elise to try and get
13413s	another
13414s	I don't think so I think yeah I think
13417s	stopping and thinking that question was
13418s	a good idea but
13421s	just being greedy here I'm gonna sell
13424s	for the the pick yep
13427s	two more spells in your hands before
13428s	your stuff
13431s	yeah it's plus a lot plus a lot
13435s	then we've got to think what we're
13437s	losing orgazova really doesn't want to
13439s	go yet when you're so strong
13441s	uh so I do respect eventually
13445s	probably yeah maybe not I don't know
13448s	maybe pashma
13450s	maybe pashma got another one at some
13452s	point you're going to need that spot to
13454s	get Divine shields in as well
13456s	but for right now I fully respect
13457s	holding on to it he is going to get one
13460s	two spells in hand so plenty of hand
13462s	space to work with this or and a minion
13463s	sorry off of the Specter and we're
13466s	looking around the boards now like this
13467s	is touriston who is doing quite well
13471s	um scaling on the how it goes yeah
13473s	nowhere near
13476s	what Liverpool is doing yeah exactly
13479s	it's still just that uh bow Reaper
13482s	that's gonna absolutely shred through
13485s	everything going on here yeah or thresh
13488s	more appropriately
13491s	yeah zap zap and like the minions are
13494s	going to survive the attack since the
13496s	Divine Shield he's got them covered
13497s	pretty much by one or two Health per
13499s	time yeah look at this every time it's
13501s	just not big enough
13503s	and that's oh man I have to go he's just
13506s	destroying everybody and killing them as
13508s	he goes nobody has a high Health total
13509s	apart from six so nobody's got a chance
13511s	to respond to this
13513s	he is just the Terminator man everyone
13515s	that goes up against him just meets them
13518s	awesome subtle on the same page
13521s	um same stuff but worse right
13524s	saying stuff but worse yes in terms of
13527s	scaling
13529s	uh it's I mean again I'm trying to think
13531s	like poison could be enough or maybe a
13533s	bit of divine Shield could be enough to
13534s	counteract that to an extent but it's
13537s	just that faux Reaper man it's gonna
13538s	shred his whole board
13541s	yeah and zigzag has to be bigger like
13543s	when we get to the point where zixo
13544s	fights him which isn't yet thankfully
13546s	physics so
13547s	um Liverpool is scaling fast so zix is
13550s	going to have to win on Tech
13553s	so yeah like you're talking about Divine
13554s	Shields maybe a way to remove them you
13558s	can't use a tunnel blast and level the
13559s	playing field because you'll lose on
13560s	stats alone so he's got to find some
13562s	some clever ways to use selflessness
13565s	some clever ways to use mountains I
13567s	don't think he's going to get there but
13568s	he's looking like the only hope at this
13570s	point
13571s	Alex done a much better job of surviving
13573s	than I thought he was going to do to be
13574s	honest not because he of his player or
13577s	anything but because of the position he
13578s	was in it was looking very very dire uh
13580s	with uh just a very poultry amount of
13582s	Health Quest that didn't seem like they
13584s	were working together all too well but
13585s	Divine Shields buffing this is a nice
13589s	little board that can get him probably
13591s	victories against most of the field but
13593s	again even if you can reactivate the
13596s	Divine shields on these uh deflectos
13599s	doesn't feel like it's quite going to be
13601s	big enough to be fighting back against
13603s	the nagas and the faux Reaper and The
13606s	faux Reaper
13610s	okay
13612s	yeah okay sure
13615s	good talks as they say
13617s	as we're gonna watch this to say
13618s	eliminated from the tournament
13622s	explode to the Leroy here but yeah I
13625s	mean he scammed himself out of work
13627s	before I don't know and we've seen this
13629s	pattern throughout Lobby Legends history
13631s	as well where yeah
13634s	is this constant sort of chain of faces
13637s	getting eliminated by the person we know
13639s	is going to win we don't know like zixo
13641s	could put a hold in if something could
13643s	go wrong
13644s	um the zephasis is only on 13 so one
13646s	loss could lose but we've seen this
13649s	we've heard this sort of commentary time
13650s	and time again before as well we're like
13651s	who's going to stop him can't see it and
13654s	this has all the Hallmarks of one of
13656s	those games where it just doesn't get
13658s	stopped these dragons aren't doing it
13661s	this is sand build has been um pretty
13664s	comedic all the way through it's very
13667s	cool though how big are his minions are
13668s	at this point uh yeah okay no it's not
13671s	getting it done it's cool though I liked
13673s	the idea as another death of Drake comes
13676s	down he's always got the triple triple
13677s	for a diamond nether Drake
13680s	pretty sure that's how it works yeah
13682s	absolutely you get a diamond one and it
13683s	gets like nine times the stats
13689s	um actually it would be really large at
13691s	nine times the stats let's face it
13694s	where do you go from here as well I
13696s	that's a rhetorical question the answer
13698s	is you don't like this is your build
13699s	this is what you are
13702s	this is what you've become
13704s	you're just weird dragon build
13707s	hey gotta look yourself in the eye and
13709s	realize this is uh
13711s	this is where it's all come down to
13713s	Alicia sand did need to get a top five
13716s	finished of each check that's sort of
13718s	Taken
13719s	um a back seat the way things have gone
13721s	because it looks like Liverpool is very
13724s	likely to actually take down the whole
13725s	tournament so this weird build has done
13727s	the job that Alicia San needed it to do
13730s	right and so players who have made it
13731s	through now Alex has gone high enough
13735s	Alicia did good enough uh by making this
13739s	point uh say say just got enough being
13742s	19.5 points so there's like four players
13744s	who are going to be in check at this
13745s	point in the game
13747s	but
13748s	the game might be over it might be over
13751s	exactly we need a champion for all the
13754s	remaining players to take down Aruba
13755s	Pusa uh and I gotta say right now it
13758s	doesn't look like Alicia sand is going
13760s	to be our Fable champion
13764s	I would say that's a good call Derek
13767s	look at the size that's happened to
13769s	um Liverpool where we've been away
13772s	[Applause]
13773s	observing absolutely correct by the way
13775s	to be watching the person who's dropped
13777s	to beat them this is like David verse
13780s	Goliath except if Goliath had like a
13783s	plane and a bomb and David still just
13787s	had his little sling or whatever like he
13789s	was taken off him yeah exactly his hands
13792s	behind his back
13794s	uh you have come down to the
13797s	the main chance I guess here
13800s	um yeah
13801s	[Music]
13803s	the reflectos maybe they can get it done
13805s	exactly I think that realistically is
13807s	the chances zixo is just not scaling
13809s	fast enough we talked about those tech
13811s	cards honestly I was kind of talking
13813s	very nebulously about like possible kind
13817s	of sort of counters they're not really
13818s	there right against a giant faux Reaper
13821s	of that magnitude and another officer
13824s	available which has passed up because he
13826s	already has the plumbing golden one so
13828s	it's just glow scale instead it really
13830s	just needs to be repeat deflectos back
13832s	to back to back to back reactivating
13834s	refreshing starting again uh and trying
13837s	to get enough Divine Shield activations
13841s	yeah
13844s	look at where River Pizza goes from here
13846s	obviously there's a good chance he just
13847s	wins but Gathering his own Tech cars to
13849s	the corner there look
13851s	um his own selfishes another foe VP in
13853s	case he needs to take some Divine
13854s	Shields off just just Gathering some
13856s	pieces
13857s	and from where he sat he needs to work
13859s	out who the biggest threat is so when to
13861s	go in on these right cards
13865s	no zixo lost the previous fight
13869s	except becoming a little bit more of a
13871s	threat with a mounted Queen picked up
13873s	obviously a
13875s	very kind of monochromatic board right
13877s	now with just one minion type overall
13880s	it's the problem we highlighted he's
13882s	doing the same thing but worse or
13884s	started off further behind and worse
13886s	right
13888s	okay did a lot of work for Liverpool
13890s	actually in being ahead that's true this
13893s	isn't going to do it
13898s	your roadbore ends it dude that's the
13900s	Difference Maker
13902s	yeah that's the shield Proctor obviously
13904s	but even so yeah it's um
13906s	probably not enough
13908s	probably
13911s	I mean he's got one big minion against
13913s	this Army of nonsense oh no come on we
13917s	haven't got a disconnect issue have we
13920s	oh no please tell me Spectators it
13924s	doesn't look like it though man River
13925s	Pizza looks upset oh no
13938s	well we're here to talk about something
13941s	Derek what would you like to talk about
13942s	nice weather out there today yeah lovely
13945s	uh very pleasant morning very temperate
13948s	um
13951s	does okay does we won't know the ruling
13954s	right yeah yeah but like ask we won't
13957s	know not the ruling no no I'm not asking
13959s	the ruling no no I'm asking what uh is
13962s	that the lobby crashed or is
13965s	that just I mean the Observer is making
13967s	a comment or two in Discord that seems
13969s	to imply the lobby has crashed right
13973s	I can't get if it works the same way as
13975s	the ladder oh
13977s	told they can't make it back in
13981s	ah well
13985s	that sucks dude uh and that is a
13988s	heartbreak of a river booster because
13990s	like
13991s	there's nothing we can do there's
13992s	nothing we can say it is what it is but
13995s	uh for River Pusa that was a winner
13997s	that's just gone down the toilet
14000s	yeah
14001s	I mean it looks that way the double
14002s	deflectos again if you could actually
14004s	prove it so when it's gone down the
14005s	toilet that's different but the double
14006s	deflectos always have that small chance
14008s	so
14009s	we'll wait and see what the ruling is
14011s	going to be
14013s	um fantastically played by Liverpool oh
14015s	yeah going on in the early game let's
14018s	talk about what actually happened in the
14019s	game because that's all we can do
14022s	um had nothing going on took what looked
14024s	like not a particularly exciting route
14026s	but did play very aggressively early
14029s	held his whole hand going into the quest
14030s	which we're seeing more and more people
14032s	do now
14034s	um where do you stand Derek on the
14036s	argument I've been having with sauce all
14038s	as to how do you stop the person who is
14041s	in check
14042s	um within the game
14044s	like do you risk your own life to do it
14048s	and put some damage in for instance
14050s	going into that term wherever police are
14053s	held back for the quest
14054s	his opponent did the same thing but
14055s	could have put maybe seven to ten damage
14057s	into him
14058s	um but also the other argument is if you
14060s	win the lobby doesn't win the lobby
14062s	where would where would you play it
14064s	I mean it really depends where you are
14065s	in the standings right and like
14069s	I don't know if it's the right terminal
14070s	like crowd psychology like psychology
14072s	starts to play into it right where no
14073s	one wants to be the one who's going to
14075s	be the the bull walk that's just gonna
14077s	stand in the way of their opponent from
14079s	winning the lobby by just going full
14080s	Tempo you know ignoring leveling
14082s	ignoring winning the game every time you
14084s	go against them you you hope to queue
14086s	into them multiple times and you just be
14087s	as strong as you can initially if you
14089s	were uh who was it a 19.5 Alicia San
14093s	right in that game yeah if you're at
14094s	that point you're almost guaranteed to
14097s	make it and if you go super high Tempo
14099s	you're probably not going to finish
14100s	eighth anyway you're probably gonna
14102s	finish like fifth or something as people
14104s	start to outscale you so if you're in
14106s	that position I think you could make a
14107s	really good argument for just going
14109s	ignoring a win in this instance and just
14111s	being as threatening as you can in these
14113s	early midterms to try and knock out uh
14116s	specifically the first Placer but the
14118s	problem is of course then you kind of
14120s	are doing the same thing as everyone
14122s	you're taking everyone down alongside
14125s	you so it can be very difficult to
14126s	Target uh we are going to go to a break
14128s	again we can not apologize enough to
14130s	both the viewers and the players of what
14132s	has happened to you it absolutely sucks
14133s	to see but we'll try and get everything
14135s	sorted out and we'll get an official
14136s	ruling about what is going on so thank
14138s	you for sticking with us and when we
14140s	come back uh Lobby Legends magic of
14142s	Azeroth will continue
14145s	[Music]

14468s	welcome back everyone to Lobby Legends
14471s	thank you so much for sticking with us
14472s	while we sorted out that problem with
14475s	the connectivity issues we're unable to
14477s	reconnect to the game which does mean
14479s	that the admins have decided on a
14482s	complete regame in that instance as the
14484s	fairest solution and while we obviously
14488s	have to apologize as much as possible to
14490s	the players who are up towards the top
14492s	and in with a chance of winning that one
14493s	uh just gonna have to do it again in
14496s	this Lobby it's still anyone's game as
14498s	rough as it is uh yeah the best chance
14501s	we had and uh I wish of course all I
14503s	could better still the best of luck
14504s	going into what could be once again the
14507s	final Lobby if River booster is able to
14509s	clutch out again
14510s	yet gonna have to get himself together
14512s	do it all again obviously a strong
14515s	favorite for that one but rules are
14517s	there those will be followed and any
14520s	other way would be a bad precedent to
14521s	set so here we are following the rules
14523s	and yep he's just gonna get himself
14525s	together he's pooped he could do it once
14526s	he's proved he can do it twice because
14527s	he won a Lobby earlier today as well I
14530s	just have to do it one more time still
14532s	the only person with the lobbying check
14533s	still gets that free shot at everybody
14536s	so uh let's see how he copes with this
14540s	going forwards uh the rest of the lobby
14542s	also have to cope with it like
14544s	grab the chance they've been given
14546s	basically and try and try and make sure
14549s	they stop him this time so there's a
14552s	chance he just runs all over it again so
14553s	we just have to wait and see what is
14555s	offered from turn one onwards indeed we
14558s	did of course see zephyrus being very
14561s	powerful there for River Pusa
14563s	specifically with the Naga Synergy to go
14565s	alongside it but I think the one at the
14567s	time we've seen zephyrus so far this
14568s	weekend it fell pretty flat uh
14571s	comparatively uh compared to that very
14574s	very nice game we saw that from River
14575s	Pusser I wonder do you value the uh
14579s	zephyrus especially highly right now as
14581s	a hero because I used to absolutely love
14583s	zephyrus it was one of my favorite
14585s	Heroes to hit because for what you know
14587s	for whatever reason for me at that rank
14588s	like just getting these consistent
14590s	triples was so strong so consistent uh
14592s	in boosting up your game plan but it
14595s	does feel like in the wake of quests and
14596s	stuff generally there's more powerful
14598s	things going on most of the time
14601s	yeah I think it's the top half here
14603s	where maybe even the top sort of 20 hero
14605s	uh it's definitely not the nuts or
14607s	anything
14608s	um but in a situation where you want to
14609s	High Roll it's got to have one of the
14612s	highest high roll potentials because you
14614s	just get the right triple on your five
14616s	in particular like with um hogger or
14618s	Nomi or your right chip on your sixes
14620s	for a multitude of things and you
14622s	haven't had to waste your hero Powers
14624s	getting there you get two of them you
14626s	get the triple banged in off you go yeah
14629s	it's it's a really good high roll it's
14630s	also just a steady hero for the reasons
14632s	you just gave you just consistent
14634s	triples and we are seeing the longer
14637s	this tournament goes the more we're
14639s	seeing of this meta slowly but surely
14641s	people are getting more time to get
14644s	their triples they're they're picking
14646s	the quests that suit them better they're
14647s	picking quests that finish more quickly
14649s	and getting on with the rest of the game
14651s	almost just treating the quest like like
14653s	a hurdle in the way that you have to get
14654s	over and with things like Zephyrs making
14657s	nice triples time May well come I think
14660s	we might see it just get slowly stronger
14662s	and stronger as The Meta goes on
14664s	so for everyone who is here freshly
14666s	joining us after all the drama tweets
14668s	have gone live uh we have a reminder of
14671s	where the leaderboard is at here with
14673s	rupapoosa the only player who has put
14674s	the lobby in check and the format is
14677s	that check format it's a race to 20
14679s	points and once you reach that threshold
14681s	of 20 points in order to win the
14683s	tournament you need specifically a first
14686s	place you have to win the lobby and then
14688s	you are crowned the champion uh says to
14691s	say Obviously unable to get there and
14693s	with the way it works if you win while
14695s	under 20 points say say uh Alicia or
14698s	Alex win the lobby that's not enough to
14700s	win you have to first get 20 points then
14702s	win the lottery it doesn't uh carry over
14703s	if you are under at that point so again
14706s	currently only riverposer who can do so
14708s	but three players underneath him who
14711s	could get into check which
14712s	coincidentally before we had to regain
14714s	that previous Lobby they were all
14715s	guaranteed to do so to get into that 20
14718s	point threshold so hopefully they also
14721s	are able to get a Repeat Performance uh
14724s	after we go to this next game
14727s	yep so they would have been in check and
14730s	the other four would not have been
14731s	anywhere close again
14734s	the point we keep making is if you no
14736s	matter where your understandings on the
14737s	Sunday in lobby Legends if you win every
14740s	Lobby from whatever point you start at
14741s	you can't lose the tournament you will
14743s	win the tournament because you stop
14744s	anybody else from winning which stops
14746s	going in check so even in the worst case
14749s	here
14750s	will have to win three lobbies in a row
14752s	which is not ridiculous like all of
14754s	these players have won three lobbies in
14755s	a row multiple multiple times on ladder
14757s	against strong opponents so it sounds
14760s	like oh yeah but is that gonna happen
14761s	well yeah you know even even I've won
14764s	three lobbies in a row although not
14765s	against these people but sure you can do
14768s	that it's it's a a level to be in but
14771s	especially the ones that aren't sick so
14772s	from all the players down who only need
14775s	a first and a third say to get into
14777s	check it really is still wide open at
14779s	this point
14780s	and it's interesting to talk about
14781s	specifically getting firstses rather
14784s	than getting seconds or thirds because I
14785s	feel like in all my sessions where I hit
14787s	a good streak and I'm getting good MMR
14790s	gain even then I'm rarely winning I I
14793s	think when I was worse I was winning
14795s	more but I was gaining less MMR overall
14798s	uh whereas now I'm kind of consistently
14800s	trying to just Salvage these games that
14801s	aren't winnable uh going less
14803s	consistently for these big High Rolls uh
14806s	which is a uh you know very specific
14808s	skill to be able to get good at to know
14810s	when you should be able to go uh
14815s	sorry to when you should go for the uh
14818s	the first place first just a second
14819s	third fourth and how to transition into
14822s	that and I think that's really for me
14823s	the next skill to be picking up on is
14825s	I'm like getting better at salvaging
14827s	these games that are clearly not going
14828s	too well but transitioning that into a
14830s	first place when you're having a decent
14832s	game it's very tough to master no I
14834s	agree I think that's the hardest thing I
14835s	mean Miami Mars not too bad
14838s	um but I find it goes in in levels right
14840s	so you start off like you say you first
14841s	start playing you lose a load then you
14843s	just start beating everybody yeah and
14845s	then you start losing you're like what
14846s	am I doing wrong are you good enough to
14847s	know oh actually I'm taking too many
14849s	chances and then you start doing what
14851s	you're doing now second third third
14853s	second fourth and then you go through
14856s	another phase where you start winning
14857s	again that boosts you up to like the
14859s	next level of players and they start
14860s	murdering you because you've you're
14863s	taking too many risks and it's just a
14864s	repeat process then you get back into
14865s	that second third fourth keep going but
14868s	to be able to switch between the two
14869s	things
14870s	In the Heat of the Moment that's tough
14873s	like most of it is Instinct bases like
14875s	you know you're going a little bit too
14876s	risky or whatever but these people
14878s	actually calculating okay this is the
14880s	risk I'm taking we saw a river person of
14882s	that last game
14883s	just took a whole bunch of damage early
14885s	on went to five went for the win and got
14889s	a really powerful board out of that
14891s	strategy so they're so good at it and
14894s	most of it is from not only being
14896s	instinctively and genetically good at
14899s	the game but also just practice and get
14901s	Instinct and then the meta changes and
14904s	you see every streamer on new meta day
14906s	like I don't understand it I keep coming
14908s	last it's because I further instincts
14910s	completely out of whack
14912s	all right just because you didn't love
14913s	us enough already we're gonna have to go
14915s	to another quick break while we get our
14917s	players connectivity issues sorted out
14919s	apologies once again but when we come
14921s	back there will be some more fantastic
14923s	Battlegrounds actions so thank you so
14925s	much for watching and for sticking with
14926s	us through all of this uh when we come
14928s	back lobby Legends magic of Azeroth
14930s	shall resume

15606s	we are back everyone with Hearthstone
15608s	Lobby Legends apologies once again we're
15611s	sorting out all kinds of stuff going on
15613s	it's all kicking off here at Magic of
15615s	Azeroth we needed to sort out uh
15617s	disputes and connectivity issues and all
15619s	that stuff but we've been told the game
15621s	has begun already so we are here the
15625s	regame decision is final we're going in
15627s	once again and uh praying that this one
15630s	ends a little better than the last one
15632s	and of course once again good luck to
15633s	all of our players as riverpoosa the
15635s	only player to put the lobby in check is
15637s	looking for that win to end the
15638s	tournament and take home the trophy
15645s	put in the bank for later
15649s	all right Gambler you are happy with uh
15654s	oh
15655s	at least I don't have to buy yeah okay
15658s	okay fair enough fair enough well I
15660s	don't like Elise as a card because it's
15662s	eight gold for a
15664s	um a triple you get to four get a free a
15668s	lease and then you can triple into a six
15669s	to turn after that seems a bit better
15671s	true true
15674s	foreign
15677s	to be
15678s	um
15679s	you know aggressive in the lobby try and
15681s	get that first place
15685s	Alex one of those players looking to get
15687s	the lobby in to check
15691s	eating what top four I'm just re-lining
15694s	my brain yeah and these are top four
15695s	basically to get right yes self
15699s	trying to line ourselves back up okay
15701s	Alex walking away with triple Piggy
15706s	oh wait with this Quest this isn't but
15709s	yeah I understand yeah oh okay take all
15711s	the you just take all of the stuff and
15713s	complete your quest
15715s	that seems much better
15719s	amazing
15722s	uh so what was the reward sorry that he
15724s	gets if he uh completes that I gotta
15726s	admit I didn't see I'm just gonna say
15727s	Okay
15728s	realigning my brain slightly yeah yeah
15731s	all good
15732s	uh some new Heroes as well that we
15734s	haven't seen all too much of we've got a
15736s	muckler in the mix we have
15739s	uh or ticketus that we don't see all too
15742s	much of uh anymore either
15745s	ourselves some Rewards or some Dark Moon
15749s	Fair tickets which is pretty cool
15752s	yeah we really don't see much anymore
15754s	but it is I believe now
15756s	um like the highest amateur yeah 10
15758s	armor so the quests will be
15761s	pretty easy to complete at that level
15765s	and people are getting bananas so is
15767s	using the Berkeley Hill power as well
15768s	she's just helping Alex complete this
15770s	Quest we're gonna find out now what it
15772s	is up turn three
15777s	you're not supposed to have red hand on
15779s	turn three Alex behave this is
15781s	disgusting what a sick start I mean like
15784s	good recognition as well to not be
15785s	baited into the triple which is
15786s	something that I uh feel myself I'm a
15789s	little bit uh you know overly looking
15791s	into a little too much
15793s	I think you'd have seen this one though
15795s	if you just had the question in front of
15796s	you honestly
15798s	and I guess the other question like all
15800s	these cards and I might complete the
15801s	other Quest immediately depending what
15802s	he gets next turn Brew yeah yeah uh
15805s	playing a lot of cards
15810s	yeah it's so sick taking a bit of damage
15813s	right now as uh murloc homes still very
15817s	much in the lead taking advantage of
15819s	this uh High money start as uh well Alex
15822s	has actually taken a lot of damage down
15823s	to 28 uh on turn four is super scary but
15826s	this is where you turn it all around
15827s	yeah let's see what the second Quest is
15830s	here or let's not going to
15833s	of course we're not going to yeah thanks
15836s	that's that's the one the observer's got
15839s	too good at finding the hitbox on uh
15841s	yeah they just turned it off it's like
15843s	nope okay zixo with
15848s	Diamond 10 minions I don't think there's
15850s	any Death Rows to go alongside that do
15852s	have a harvest Golem in the shop of
15854s	course which helps drastically with
15855s	stolen gold and you know stolen gold
15858s	does have Synergy with just the
15860s	born of nazoth on the board that's
15862s	already a pretty significant Tempo
15864s	upgrade once you do hit it
15870s	who's he's getting this from yeah no
15871s	idea doesn't get his coin
15876s	I believe Pusa has got um Gotta Lose two
15879s	fights to get red hand thank you to sort
15881s	of for that update
15887s	rubbish quests
15889s	yeah
15891s	the kids why not
15894s	hmm
15897s	okay settlemental pretty good just for a
15899s	little bit of extra money a bit more
15901s	activation on all these alleys with some
15903s	pretty sick Synergy actually with all
15904s	the Elementals going on not something
15905s	you see all too often nowadays
15909s	tell you what you do see off no Derek if
15911s	I'm playing salty looter oh yeah what is
15915s	that buy nine minions to trigger the
15916s	battle cries twice with Snicker snacks a
15918s	little expensive it feels uh but if
15921s	you're cycling through Pirates then
15923s	that's not a bad way to go at all yeah
15925s	and leave it on the board at the end and
15926s	get like plus nine plus nine on two
15929s	Pirates twice or something if you get
15930s	the buff oh probably not gonna happen
15933s	but might be really juicy at some point
15935s	and being on correct
15939s	huh
15943s	yay the leveling curve meaning that it's
15945s	not possible to
15947s	uh level and buy here but that's fine as
15950s	you have the option for I don't know
15953s	what divine shielding your uh
15956s	uh tough Tusk is that something we're
15957s	interested for an immediate Tempo here
15959s	or do we want to just hard roll into a
15960s	Mech for this Sensei yeah it's a tough
15963s	one right you've also got the option if
15965s	you really want to of just using your
15966s	hero power earlier than you normally
15968s	would with this hero because this
15971s	interesting looking shop it's certainly
15972s	not where my mind would be at but the
15974s	length of time he's thinking about it is
15976s	making me wonder if that's on his mind
15979s	potential play
15981s	and now you just double buy and move on
15982s	with your life right yeah I guess you're
15984s	just unmagnetizing the Menace it's not
15986s	bad is it
15988s	yeah yeah it's fine
15993s	yeah if I've been a terrible shop I've
15995s	been interested to see what happened but
15996s	it wasn't a terrible shot this is
15998s	absolutely fine
16003s	oh my God look at all these cards he has
16006s	what is happening
16011s	ridiculous got his seven minions because
16013s	most of them is handled already he gets
16015s	stealth oh my
16018s	and we saw this earlier with zigzag
16020s	actually with this question with a big
16021s	murloc uh the plan here just give one of
16025s	your murlocs a huge amount of Health
16026s	maybe around with the two of them and
16029s	put some Poise on it later for the late
16030s	game so you've got a big poison minion
16032s	that's hard to kill I like the sound of
16034s	that
16037s	and also with all these blood gems he
16039s	has there's so many different uh tools
16041s	you have later on you can just like
16044s	infinitely buffer bristle back turn off
16046s	to turn off to turn gaining yourself a
16048s	whole bunch of stats of course if you
16050s	hit ground Shaker or agum you're getting
16052s	so many extra stats alongside there and
16054s	that is much more likely to happen when
16056s	you insta hit a triple scallywag shortly
16059s	afterwards as well
16062s	okay here's that combo we talked about
16063s	right at the start remember with the um
16066s	the Elise uh-huh with the um
16070s	the Eliza I'll go get my elisas and
16072s	Elias it's all mixed up again but yeah
16074s	release into the Eliza next turn gets
16076s	another triple uh with a load of gold
16079s	available as well because the Gambler on
16081s	board so we'll take a lot of damage here
16085s	um but next turn can make what seems to
16087s	be a giant Eliza because he's gonna have
16089s	double red hand on it as well yeah
16092s	apparently that works
16094s	so yeah
16101s	oh Rim goes through presumably not
16103s	having lost the previous fight or this
16106s	would be a pretty easy tollen
16109s	uh still interesting to look at just
16111s	because the I mean like from the
16112s	glimpses we're getting at the rest of
16113s	these meetings it doesn't look like
16114s	either uh or kangels is having much
16117s	Synergy right now and he can quite
16119s	happily lose this fight right get five
16122s	gold for it or win it yeah yeah yeah
16124s	kind of bit of insurance
16127s	foreign
16131s	before he starts getting proper prizes
16138s	I guess
16154s	might not go quite the way he wanted a
16156s	lot of really bad trades that are still
16157s	going to be able to either take no
16159s	damage or just sneak the fight maybe
16160s	yeah just sneaks it
16162s	I think so going to be able to complete
16164s	his quest sorry next turn of to summon
16165s	10 minions which is golden stolen gold
16169s	uh very big deal uh for him especially
16171s	as I believe he still had that uh
16175s	uh juicy looking spawn of nazoth as well
16178s	moving on over to the Discover options I
16180s	believe for Alicia San
16183s	okay double Discover right on galewing
16186s	yeah yeah complete this Quest at least
16188s	this sounds gonna be really really
16190s	terrifying here
16192s	and it looks like you can complete this
16194s	Quest while also getting triple
16199s	bristle back but the problem is this is
16201s	the kind of board that I feel like once
16203s	a six in order to get the real uh big
16207s	time blood gem activated in stone he
16210s	needs this in stone to get that six so
16212s	he gets two sixes
16213s	ah true yeah sure how far away he is
16216s	yeah he needs one more Mech or whatever
16217s	that was the trip or the next turn he
16220s	can go for two sixes or with Peter sixes
16222s	yeah this is nutty
16226s	who just Spends His gold on I don't know
16228s	Wildfire like just to spend your money
16230s	yeah
16231s	yeah looking like a really powerful
16234s	popular term for release your next turn
16236s	and honestly not a bad turn right now
16237s	like these bristlebacks are really going
16239s	to be carrying them through the mid game
16240s	quite handsomely
16242s	the mid game being precisely that one
16244s	turn because you get straight into the
16245s	end game next with some nonsense
16250s	is in trouble so right exactly it's
16253s	worth mentioning that I believe his
16255s	quest was to lose or tied to combat so
16257s	he's deliberately been falling down in
16258s	the health total a little bit just to
16260s	get the uh the red hand online but now
16264s	it's quite obviously the time to turn
16266s	that around now
16268s	yeah he has got like a 23 attacker um
16271s	Eliza to play next turn so yeah true
16274s	true
16276s	but I'm looking forward to this Alicia
16278s	Sam pop-off turn this is going to be
16279s	absolutely ridiculous
16281s	like sinstone it's absolutely crazy when
16284s	it gets going because super spy was out
16286s	of control you start getting more
16288s	triples so you get more stuff
16291s	all right I believe that was a win for
16292s	Ripper Pusa and a much needed one at
16295s	that so let's see how this can all come
16297s	together
16298s	or Alicia Sam
16301s	You Can level sell by I mean the world's
16306s	your oyster how you want to go about it
16308s	as long as you get that double discover
16309s	and get a six you're laughing
16313s	I love seeing Stones so much especially
16315s	on something like going where it just it
16318s	just goes so stupid now
16322s	all right grease spot with a couple
16324s	Divine Shields probably where my head is
16327s	at two of them working super nicely
16329s	together
16330s	yep
16333s	it's the first two of many
16336s	oh I was kind of hoping that we'd get to
16339s	see at some point the uh the Double
16341s	theater or theater at all really yeah I
16344s	think it's a cool card even if right now
16346s	it doesn't seem to be at the uh
16349s	competitive power level for most of our
16351s	players uh double light Fang now for
16355s	Rupa Pusa but only two minion types to
16358s	go alongside it it really is just this
16361s	enormous Elisa as you were talking about
16363s	that's carrying him through for the
16364s	moment this means he's gonna buy the
16366s	little bag because he's playing
16368s	um both these light fangs and just go
16370s	okay let's see what happens and you
16371s	possibly freeze yeah
16373s	because you've got the um refreshing
16376s	Elemental plus two other LEDs in shop
16378s	and just see if like thank you see if
16380s	little I can carry you
16382s	I mean the question was just really if
16383s	you play the little rag right or save it
16385s	in your hand but I guess you get plus 12
16387s	plus 12 and nothing on the board or like
16389s	plus four plus four on it and
16391s	immediately a 10 10 in play uh which I
16393s	agree the health is uh your life total
16395s	is more important right now
16398s	absolutely and it's gonna work out
16400s	because this should be a pretty easy win
16402s	for River booster again zixo who despite
16405s	having a very robust start to the game
16407s	uh it's starting to take a lot of damage
16409s	this is another full 15 on this turn
16410s	that he's gonna have to chew up
16413s	yeah I've seen this a lot today from
16414s	zigzo to be fair
16416s	um
16417s	good Tempo starts and getting overtaken
16422s	Alex back on this nonsense of a start
16426s	yeah reality now right
16430s	combo of mackerel plus the annoya module
16433s	is that still something you're looking
16435s	to do because I know it was very strong
16437s	during Greece Sports Glory Days oh where
16439s	you just line everything up in a long
16441s	right I haven't seen it recently but I
16443s	don't see any reason why it wouldn't be
16445s	decent like yeah fine let's just feel
16447s	like it's fallen off a bit doesn't it
16450s	yeah but then it's harder to get to the
16453s	metals it's hard to mess around for so
16455s	long but yeah it looks like he's
16457s	definitely gonna have a look at it
16461s	okay zix are starting to fall down in
16464s	the health totals but starting to climb
16466s	up in the power level as well of course
16468s	with a bunch of Ellie's being played a
16470s	master of reality is a major Domo a
16473s	golden to get into six as well
16475s	oh Buster oh actually everything but he
16478s	has got the gold on size right with
16480s	Buster and true Alan available so my
16484s	instinct was oh my goodness Buster but
16485s	yeah looking again there's some good
16487s	stuff there a real max either right to
16489s	synergize with the Buster is it still
16491s	worth it
16493s	they can't die this term because still
16495s	in damage cap correct I mean golden
16499s	Buster and golden Baron is so much just
16501s	next turn you buy every make sure yeah
16503s	yeah yeah okay that makes sense to me
16506s	like even like the One Drops right pop
16508s	bot just kind of becomes the nuts after
16509s	that Loki yeah
16512s	instapix on the the murloc homes with
16515s	very little time available I thought it
16517s	was the next shop just for a second
16519s	there but it's not it's his opponent
16520s	it's fine I'm gonna get a bunch of uh
16523s	Ellie's though off of this
16526s	uh Genie as well which is sick
16532s	so much money for next turn oh look at
16533s	that bunch of cold
16536s	oh
16538s	slow down
16540s	oh my you can see how zix has been
16542s	staying alive in this one
16544s	that tempo's been coming from uh I mean
16548s	you say staying alive he should be able
16551s	to get out of this I mean obviously as
16552s	you say getting out with his life but
16554s	just managing to tie exactly as well is
16557s	so clutch physics so to again stay above
16560s	that 15 Health break point as does River
16562s	Pusa you know he was having a rough
16564s	start losing game after game but his
16566s	strategy of getting the red hand after
16568s	losing or tying two fights is working
16570s	well he's still at a stable Health total
16573s	right now unlike three of his
16575s	competitors but if anyone thinks that
16577s	turn 10 know me is playable just look
16578s	what zigzo is doing here he started the
16580s	turn with six Elementals in hand and
16582s	still can't play a Nomi so you know chat
16586s	okay don't do it not even once
16588s	oh la la this is a lot of stats we're
16591s	talking about now you've got to start
16593s	looking at it hasn't he you ditched the
16595s	Buster
16598s	I think you do
16602s	everything else is just really strong
16604s	like yeah wow okay okay
16608s	interesting oh
16611s	let's find another major Domo and again
16612s	it doesn't have to be in play while all
16614s	these pop-ups are going on right
16617s	you're full wow
16619s	foreign
16627s	this is such a sick way to go about it
16630s	right where you're popping off but
16631s	you're also transitioning over to Max at
16633s	the same time but the Ellie's just don't
16635s	stop coming dude he needs to go fast now
16638s	he needs Mex now he's ditching away from
16640s	the Ellies as much as possible but he's
16642s	just not finding them
16645s	yeah you gave yourself every chance
16647s	nothing super hard but
16649s	okay
16654s	not a bad Turn All Things Considered
16656s	physics so with double buster one of
16658s	them golden golden Baron as well
16662s	I'm still trying to process exactly how
16664s	he got there just using the elemental
16666s	reel yeah cycle through for free arm
16669s	with a free refresh and has got himself
16672s	a comp
16673s	yeah and I think quite obviously here
16675s	for six are just the correct choice
16676s	right to not move away from the Omega
16678s	Buster I was getting dazzled by the
16681s	Synergy of the uh the Elementals but he
16683s	didn't let it go to his head and instead
16685s	just relying on the mechs here which
16687s	with the kangels as well has to be
16689s	enough to take a win what is not enough
16691s	though is taurusan on its Pirates comp
16693s	that looked so close to stabilizing gold
16696s	Peggy double uh
16699s	double hogar as well but unable to get
16702s	the job done as 60 tears this one down
16706s	yeah huge amount of damage going in
16708s	there into Alex as well which is
16710s	somebody who needs to get a top four
16714s	that was a fantastic little
16718s	River Pusa trying to get it done
16723s	not gigantic right
16726s	okay
16728s	obviously no no me no major Domo no
16732s	master of reality so he is relying very
16733s	much just on the rag effect itself which
16736s	is not scaling at the speed I think you
16739s	need not enough to win the lobby as well
16742s	which is all that River fusa cares about
16744s	it's it's first or eighth it makes no
16745s	difference or sorry second or eighth
16747s	makes no difference to him first is all
16749s	he cares about
16750s	yeah second does push other people down
16752s	stops them getting in check but you're
16754s	absolutely right yeah if there's a
16755s	choice between you know you just want a
16757s	coin flip for first or eighth you'll
16759s	take that every day of the week
16761s	but yeah he had a long pause there I
16763s	think just sort of trying to work out
16764s	where do I go from here because this is
16766s	quite nice and it's it's a stage you
16769s	talk about a lot and I always agree with
16770s	you on where you've done the thing
16772s	you're looking pretty powerful but you
16774s	know that people are going to start
16775s	going past you what do you do and it's
16777s	going to be interesting to see what he
16778s	does and so what are we freezing for
16780s	here
16782s	the taunt
16785s	not sure thing yeah a bit of a kind of
16788s	fuse in one but triple available on the
16790s	mackerel
16791s	I would uh insta buy that and drop a
16794s	thousand MMR yeah I've gone quite happy
16796s	to have two big macros getting Divine
16799s	Shields not one for now
16805s	um especially with the green spot right
16806s	it's gonna buff them over and over again
16808s	as a pair
16810s	so they'll both get Divine Shield
16812s	they're both losers on Shield they both
16813s	get Divine Shield oh yeah yeah
16815s	no no trust me that was a
16817s	tongue-in-cheek I know I have to explain
16818s	people who haven't met you
16822s	I know you know with the drop MMR
16824s	comments yeah
16828s	my Acer big wits betraying me as always
16833s	get a really good look at how big
16835s	zigzo's stuff actually is going to be
16837s	here
16838s	also being quite large uh the taunt
16841s	going by means that Baron could die here
16844s	which would be pretty terrible does not
16846s	happen there's nobody a Megabus to go
16848s	down uh a bit even now I think it's just
16850s	a pretty runaway victory for uh for zexo
16854s	who's looking very strong we haven't
16855s	seen Buster be a big player so far in
16857s	this tournament but now it's finally
16859s	getting to that point where it could be
16860s	as Alicia San Bites the Dust
16864s	still I believe though good enough
16867s	to get into check right he just needed
16870s	half a point and he did get that half
16872s	point and he's got half a point yeah
16877s	you're talking about the buses um
16879s	they're one of the things I highlighted
16880s	at the start of the tournament I thought
16881s	was still strong independently I'm
16884s	amazed we've seen no leapers but have we
16885s	only seen beasts in like two or three
16887s	lobbies all weekend if you haven't been
16889s	commentating on beasts at all agreed
16892s	they've been banned a whole bunch
16898s	looking at a potential reset there
16899s	deciding not to take it
16903s	given that he has three resets with the
16904s	Busters and the
16907s	the kangos anyway
16919s	interesting we rolled past the doggo is
16921s	obviously hard looking for exactly one
16922s	thing here
16929s	there's one thing
16931s	is that
16933s	necessary though like isn't that kind of
16935s	worse immediately
16938s	it could be I like it personally
16940s	um because it's it makes space but maybe
16942s	for one turn you just freeze but I mean
16945s	you say it makes space but then that
16947s	implies there's something better to slot
16949s	in than a regular
16951s	Omega Buster right
16953s	because currently you have a golden and
16955s	a regular yeah yeah
16959s	well I think a regular one is better
16961s	than pretty much anything else just
16962s	slotting it
16964s	yeah that's fair
16966s	oh
16967s	okay uh looking at either the
16972s	amalgam I guess the candle being very
16974s	spicy as well to add into this board if
16977s	you can get golden candle or just
16978s	another one to slot in actually and just
16980s	keep repeating these Busters over and
16981s	over and over yeah
16983s	yes I I do make big mistakes with mechs
16987s	at the end game sometimes there's
16988s	probably one you just highlighted for me
16989s	so yeah
16991s	okay big game hit for River Pusa looking
16994s	like it might be a little bit too much
16996s	but getting the clutch here on the furry
16999s	but does potentially keep his chances
17002s	alive
17004s	needs to avoid these one ones into Eliza
17008s	hey Mr poison that's what we needed to
17011s	not see yeah close close fight and
17015s	riverpoos are staying in things for the
17017s	moment but looking like his momentum is
17019s	slowing down drastically as uh speaking
17021s	of drasticness we need to see something
17024s	very drastic from him if he wants to
17026s	take that first place yeah absolutely
17028s	looks like another top four finish for
17030s	him though which would be every single
17033s	game so far
17034s	um and again he's come through every
17036s	qualifying stage in every Lobby Legends
17039s	he's got through the first qualifying
17040s	stage so his top four rate must be
17043s	absolutely relentless
17046s	let's see how zixo plans to use this
17049s	means that he took
17051s	he won that second can goes yeah it
17054s	makes sense to me
17056s	Michael Busters over and over again
17059s	plus five plus five eh I think we're
17062s	doing stronger stuff at this point in
17064s	the game
17065s	yeah this is what I think he wants as
17066s	well as a taunt to put here so now he
17068s	can get rid of the genie at last yeah
17070s	you're absolutely right that's huge
17073s	um
17073s	casually triple settlementals for no
17076s	reason
17077s	sure but what but now maybe you'd take
17081s	the Buster right because now you can
17084s	taunt it up
17085s	oh Reaper would you ever consider that
17088s	yeah absolutely
17094s	if he takes it yes very but that's easy
17096s	enough
17099s	and 13 grease but surely too slow
17103s	yeah even with a mackerel definitely
17105s	what I would think
17112s	I guess there's no hurry to make the
17114s	decision yeah
17117s	foreign
17131s	oh very nice just slowly powering up
17134s	more and more and these kangels you know
17136s	even with bran oh sorry with the baron
17138s	and it being very unlikely you're gonna
17139s	get the full value just getting one
17141s	maybe if you're lucky too golden oh
17144s	sorry uh two
17146s	Busters is so so clutch to keep the bus
17150s	rolling on all the previous micro Bots
17153s	that are left behind as well it just
17154s	keeps going and going and going
17157s	but that does mean the first one lived
17159s	so you're only going to be getting a
17160s	buster and microbot back which is a big
17162s	difference
17166s	okay still
17168s	still big for sure didn't get the golden
17171s	one back either of course yeah yeah
17180s	looking for a clutch here on the Omega
17183s	Blaster which is huge to get that while
17186s	the baron is still active now I think
17188s	it's just too much stats for uh for Alex
17191s	to be standing up against
17194s	yeah I think that means Alex has got
17195s	enough points um with this fourth place
17197s	I think so yeah oh and we're falling
17201s	alongside him what happened there
17216s	it's just 60 say left
17219s	yep just two players left in this whole
17220s	thing to say with a bunch of uh the
17224s	reflectos which again should not
17226s	underestimate as I'm constantly reminded
17228s	yeah but limited refreshes uh I guess
17232s	with both of them having what looks like
17235s	the menaces as a death rattle they can
17238s	reset each other
17241s	but even then I want to say this looks
17243s	like not quite enough stuff given that
17247s	zixo has his own repeating Divine
17248s	Shields with the macros and the
17251s	seemingly infinite wave of Omega Busters
17256s	yeah he even has the
17258s	um phobia in hand as well that he took
17261s	just to hold on to I think
17264s	if he needs to switch because he's
17265s	losing it so has that option available
17267s	to him as well
17269s	I think he even needs it
17274s	26 damage means it might go two fights
17277s	that does make a difference
17291s	all right what are we looking at there
17296s	what pop button I guess Menace that can
17298s	be used as just another resetter on the
17301s	defilectos
17305s	oh and I guess the neck the necro is
17307s	pretty big as well right to steal these
17309s	gems from the ground shaker on Twitter a
17312s	lot of gems up there next turn a lot of
17314s	switching around this could be all right
17318s	let's see it doesn't die here very often
17321s	uh yeah 26 probably a little bit too
17324s	much but again these buses coming back
17326s	and back and back again and again
17328s	that could be enough there's another
17330s	golden one right there there's another
17331s	golden one right there
17333s	yeah okay
17335s	obviously there's not room for two to be
17337s	summoned at a time but just any golden
17339s	Busters
17340s	first yeah yeah I feel kind of busted
17343s	exactly
17347s	all right that's a reset on the Divine
17349s	Shield as well
17350s	and you can see how it says they say
17352s	tried right sorry cut yours again like
17356s	zap and everything trying to take down
17358s	what he could do but oh yeah
17363s	it was a very good effort but from zixo
17367s	uh
17368s	uh 26 no he lived yeah is it like 21
17374s	damage or something
17376s	uh but uh overall a a good effort uh by
17379s	say say like you said he did the best
17382s	with what he was offered but zixo
17384s	getting the ideal like the archetypal
17386s	stolen gold board right is this or it's
17388s	beasts that you're looking to hit and it
17391s	was just such a clever realization that
17392s	this was his end game even when he was
17395s	offered All The Shining jewels of a
17397s	perfect Elemental uh kind of comp where
17400s	you're just cycling through with
17401s	recycling rate you had a little rag you
17403s	had major Domo you had master of
17405s	realities you had everything offered you
17407s	even know me if you wanted it in the
17409s	shop but he kept his eyes straight
17411s	stepped forward on the Met comp which is
17413s	exactly what he should have done and
17414s	ended up now in a vastly superior
17417s	situation one that says to say needs
17420s	some serious text to come back ahead of
17422s	uh and I'm struggling to think what
17425s	those would be this zap right now has
17427s	proven to just not be good enough given
17430s	that all it's targeting is the kangels
17434s	maybe if he can go first and snipe off
17436s	those candles before any mechs die that
17439s	would be good enough
17440s	yeah I don't know he needs to make these
17442s	deflectos gigantic for one thing but you
17446s	know sure you can make one gigantic
17448s	deflector but it's not going to be set
17449s	17 times like it needs to okay going to
17452s	go make a gigantic foamy but instead
17455s	that makes more sense to me you can
17457s	still have your splitter now it's work
17458s	here is done
17460s	this is the last fight uh-huh dude maybe
17463s	have to beat zigzo twice but it beat him
17465s	once first and we'll worry about how to
17466s	beat him twice after that because B Team
17468s	wanted it's really tough here
17470s	I don't know I don't know how he gets
17471s	there
17472s	see how he's trying
17473s	this is not bad he's got some pig stats
17477s	here again if he goes first Snipes off
17479s	both the uh the kangos
17486s	oh but the small deflecto still plays
17488s	around that doesn't it yeah because you
17490s	only get to snipe off one of them still
17492s	a big deal though to be able to get rid
17493s	of that must be said
17496s	okay
17497s	[Applause]
17499s	Yep this is going to do a lot of work as
17501s	well
17506s	all right and that's all the Busters
17508s	we're going to be seeing so the amount
17509s	of stats available to uh zexo
17514s	apart from guaranteed to be enough to
17515s	take this one down right the
17516s	reactivation on the Divine Shields might
17518s	have to be enough I thought he could get
17520s	under the 65 I thought he would be
17522s	bigger than that but
17524s	he didn't die
17526s	he couldn't huge hit now
17529s	he's gonna get one more Divine shield on
17532s	his Buster but it attacks first which
17535s	means it's not able to do so and we end
17538s	up in a tie no shot dude yes they should
17542s	say not panicking as well keeping the um
17544s	Splitter on the board but did only get
17546s	the three
17547s	gems this time around
17550s	wow though amazed how that got so close
17560s	I mean I I'm trying to think now about
17562s	like any weird combos you can pull off
17565s	because you almost want a smaller taunt
17568s	so that you can
17570s	let the Omega Buster golden Omega Buster
17573s	attack it doesn't die and then no matter
17575s	what your zap gets to kill off the
17580s	three one of the kangor's a turn earlier
17584s	uh before the Buster goes off
17587s	uh that is of course unless you double
17588s	hit the
17591s	uh
17592s	the deflector which is also three attack
17594s	25 of the time
17597s	uh but basically it's just whether or
17599s	not this mummy is worth the reset on the
17601s	deflectos which it probably is more so
17603s	than denying the Buster but there's a
17605s	lot going on here basically there's a
17607s	lot of different texts you can do to try
17608s	and deny the death rattles kill off the
17610s	kangars before the uh mechs are dying
17612s	off
17613s	yeah on zigzo's side can he find
17616s	something to like make himself even
17619s	worse so this zap doesn't
17622s	do anything dangerous to him we'll just
17624s	keep flipping until he gets to go first
17626s	and then should be okay
17628s	but he doesn't know if if CC say he's
17630s	gonna do all the things you just said to
17631s	try and keep the uh Buster alive so
17634s	quite a lot going on here
17640s	I didn't feel like much improved this
17642s	time around though have a look what zigs
17644s	I managed to do
17647s	I know he's managed to get the second
17648s	there we go and the silly two four
17650s	murloc to get rid of the um zap yep
17653s	absolutely
17655s	really well played by Zig so
17661s	and now with all these Busters going off
17663s	turn after turn that's going to be a
17665s	reset on the deflector no it's not
17667s	because of the cleave being a pretty big
17668s	difference but I think even then with
17671s	golden Buster guaranteed
17674s	probably this is too big
17676s	I think so yeah the flow roof is gonna
17679s	have to do some serious work not now
17682s	it's not no that's there we go even I
17684s	can see this one now
17688s	well played by say to say a nice uh uh
17692s	series of plays that felt like he gave
17693s	him a chance ifixo hadn't found that uh
17696s	poisoned to attack murloc then maybe
17698s	there was some opportunities for Cesar
17702s	said to close out but not gonna be the
17703s	case as zixo gets his first real
17706s	turnaround of the tournament after a
17708s	disastrous start to the first four games
17711s	of the day we end up with a win for him
17714s	and him actually being in the running
17716s	now still not at uh check I think he
17720s	still needs to actually win another
17721s	Lobby straight up in order to get into
17723s	check but it's a start it's the first
17725s	step on the journey to turning it around
17727s	yeah I was saying that oh we've all won
17729s	three in a row that's what zigzo needs
17730s	to do right now
17732s	two now he just needs to win two lobbies
17734s	in a row to be the lobby Legends
17736s	champion
17737s	which somehow doesn't sound that
17739s	difficult it obviously it is you're
17740s	playing against a lot of the best
17741s	players in the world but it's just two
17743s	lobbies
17774s	[Music]
17800s	stolen gold from six so that I haven't
17802s	seen work that way on the big stage yet
17804s	which is cool to see and just the
17806s	Classic uh
17809s	the classic deflector bot sorry from say
17811s	say which really just continued to
17813s	outperform what you would expect from
17815s	such a low tier minion I'm just happy to
17817s	see some mix up there I say we'll see
17819s	some mechs and we didn't and I'm like
17821s	okay got it wrong again Lorinda but here
17823s	we are Mets as a standalone
17826s	are probably still the best okay mix or
17829s	beasts are the best um tribe I think
17832s	right now
17834s	um but the aluminum types all acting
17835s	really well with the quests
17843s	or just so for the players who made it
17846s	into check now is the uh the really
17849s	important thing right with Alicia San
17852s	managing to do so stay safe as well I
17855s	believe managing to get into that uh
17858s	Tech position with a second place finish
17861s	and Alex JP I think as well also just
17864s	managing to do so with the joint third
17866s	fourth so we have oh no sorry Alicia
17867s	sand just so say say it was on 19 and a
17871s	half I thought this apologies apologies
17873s	yeah that's my bad
17876s	um so three players there
17878s	again
17879s	yeah go ahead now those those golden
17882s	sort of shadings they're the players
17884s	that can win on that occasion and win
17886s	the lobby the five lower players still
17889s	looking to get to 20 and taurusan after
17892s	not a bad start top four first Lobby uh
17896s	really needs to just win every Lobby
17898s	from here wanting to get it done to stop
17900s	everybody else because even if toy son
17902s	wins Lobby six
17904s	basically everyone's gonna have check
17906s	going by then give or take a couple of
17908s	people so the only way to stop them from
17910s	Winnie would be to then win Lobby seven
17912s	get yourself in check that way and then
17914s	win Lobby eight to win the lobby
17916s	is he just went through in a row that's
17918s	what we've got to do just went three in
17919s	a row yeah every time you just have to
17921s	win one game and then you just have to
17922s	do that twice more and yeah you're
17925s	perfectly fine uh but that is US done
17927s	with the fifth game of play three
17929s	players now in check and zixo getting
17930s	the win means that the uh the glimmers
17933s	of Hope are perhaps starting to show for
17936s	our one European player in the Runnings
17938s	here at Lobby Legends magic of Azeroth
17941s	when we come back we will continue with
17942s	the tournament and see whether one of
17944s	our three players with the lobby in
17946s	check can take the win

18146s	welcome back everyone to Hearthstone
18148s	Lobby Legends magic of Azeroth we've had
18150s	five games now in our fifth Lobby
18152s	Legends of the year and in our sixth one
18154s	there's a chance it could all be
18156s	finishing a pretty good chance as we are
18158s	in the check format once a player
18160s	reaches 20 points uh with first place
18163s	getting you seven points eighth place
18165s	getting you zero points uh once you hit
18167s	that threshold of 20 points you need to
18168s	win uh in order to close out the
18170s	tournament as we keep saying type and a
18172s	again and with three of our competitors
18174s	at that threshold being River Pusa and
18177s	Alex all are in with a shot of closing
18181s	this one down and for River pupusa you
18184s	know as much as it hurts as he was so
18186s	close to clutching that win the rules of
18187s	the rules as you said and this one feels
18190s	like it's just slowly starting to ebb
18192s	away from him as uh he's still as likely
18196s	as anyone else of any of the other three
18198s	players to take the win but you you
18200s	start to feel cursed at a point like
18202s	this I think
18203s	nah he's got it he has his worst finish
18206s	today has been four I believe in place
18208s	he's been fourth third first second 3.5
18213s	it's fine he's fine he'll get it we'll
18215s	get it done
18217s	um the three players who've got the
18219s	lobby in check River as they say
18220s	and Alex have all played on the twitch
18224s	stages of the event before the other one
18226s	in his final who has being zigzo uh
18229s	who's sort of marching up the standings
18230s	now
18232s	um so I don't know if that means
18233s	anything if it's just coincidence but
18235s	the three people have had the prior
18236s	experience of playing on stream are the
18239s	ones who are going
18240s	noticeably the best as well with a large
18244s	points discrepancy between them and yeah
18246s	there's only two or three players even
18248s	possible to get into check if they don't
18250s	win this time so not quite Scenic like
18252s	this before with three runaway players
18255s	indeed yeah uh but we have seen again
18259s	the in situations like this we always
18261s	talk about how the winning players who
18264s	are in check who put the lobby in check
18266s	need to go for winning strats obviously
18269s	they need to get a first place or
18270s	essentially whatever else happens
18271s	doesn't really matter however the
18273s	players underneath them are kind of also
18275s	incentivized to do so or things can
18277s	really start to go oh zexo here on
18280s	dinathrius does need to get a first
18282s	place exactly in order to put the lobby
18285s	in check very interestingly
18287s	snap picked enough of this and see what
18289s	he ends up getting here oh yes Alex Alex
18291s	chance of winning the tournament
18292s	outright of course
18294s	um a player that's familiar to us as
18296s	well not just from Lobby Legends but
18297s	we've seen him do reasonably well at
18299s	Masters tours as well
18302s	as they say on AFK which is a hero that
18304s	I quite like
18306s	um really again the three on three
18308s	argument goes on but you know afk's
18311s	three on three in her own way
18314s	yeah with uh demons in the pool you're
18316s	very happy to go for it then to get the
18318s	overseer for the uh very very good
18320s	outcome you know uh dragons for the
18323s	bronze one there's quite a few good
18325s	options
18327s	uh five Battle Cry minions whatever it
18329s	is is looking very tempting as there are
18332s	three in the shop right now for zixo
18335s	which I think pushes you on to devils in
18337s	the details like these are kind of
18339s	roughly equivalent in terms of tempo
18342s	maybe the devils and the details being
18343s	slightly higher in fact uh but uh Battle
18346s	Cry very easy to do here for zixo yeah
18350s	with that shop I think the Devils we
18352s	don't see Devils very often because the
18355s	difficulty of completing it versus the
18356s	reward doesn't balance very well or
18358s	hasn't been doing uh but this looks
18361s	perfect right he's gonna get it online
18362s	very quickly uh get some numbers on the
18365s	board start eating some minions and
18367s	should get
18368s	very good Tempo going into his second
18370s	Quest
18371s	and yeah we've seen denatures when he
18373s	gets these starts where the first Quest
18375s	is resolved quickly which is equivalent
18377s	to having your hero power early game
18379s	yeah then your second Quest can carry
18381s	you through because you're a long way
18381s	ahead
18383s	13 times for a zig Zone
18386s	I mean nice easy turn right buy coin
18388s	coin buy you've got three of your five
18390s	battle cries already gone then and oh
18394s	okay
18395s	sure you can hold but you still buy you
18398s	still get the quest completion yeah
18399s	that's exactly what you can say about
18401s	playing it Derek yeah exactly you left
18403s	that up to zigzo
18405s	as next turn you know and haven't tier
18407s	one still got a good few battle cries
18408s	that you can look at and a two Mana hero
18410s	power so zigzo a player hates floating
18412s	gold in these early turns will be happy
18413s	with potential 100 uh gold utilization
18417s	heading into turn three
18419s	heading into the Tog waggle turn in a
18421s	couple of turns
18429s	usually
18438s	okay no real thoughts here as again your
18441s	togas so you go for the button on turn
18444s	four
18446s	yeah
18449s	so just yapping you um
18452s	nutty stuff going on
18455s	um okay so obviously you're buying
18458s	probably the swabby uh but you don't
18461s	necessarily have to play once again who
18463s	are you up against AFK okay and this is
18465s	the bad turn to play against AFK right
18466s	but they're going to be playing both
18467s	their three drops so if you did want to
18469s	deny the damage you're going to be
18471s	taking you want to be playing them both
18472s	and damage you are going to be taking
18475s	with bronze Warden and the Cyclone as
18478s	well this is a fantastic start for CSA
18481s	yeah and also somehow is on 46 Health
18485s	still
18486s	oh yeah true there's AFK
18490s	wow
18491s	I guess everyone perfectly happy with
18493s	not dealing damage if it means you get
18495s	easier Quest completion yeah interesting
18503s	like normally they say okay you're
18504s	forced into playing your stuff with that
18506s	High Health you can have an actual
18507s	choice
18508s	all right what six are going to get is
18509s	the other part of this all righty
18517s	18 cards to your hand a little bit
18519s	tricky to do
18522s	even with freshers you could do that
18524s	next turn he'd instantly get three
18528s	what would he get back actually true
18531s	if he just spends next turn pressing
18533s	refresh loses the whole term against the
18535s	snacks he would get two coins
18540s	um
18541s	or a coin plus a swabby activation yeah
18545s	I doubt he'll do that but it's kind of
18547s	tempting
18551s	he's already got himself devil in the
18552s	details to start munching these minions
18554s	up gets himself a really nice minion to
18557s	be a munchin uh with the crackling
18559s	Cyclone I think I'm taking that over the
18561s	juggler though uh right with no demon
18564s	energy
18565s	think so too
18569s	I guess as well technically it was worth
18571s	a look but I don't don't think he wants
18574s	the strong arm on the board for when he
18577s	completes the quest
18579s	there yeah yeah that's true
18581s	be good if you're just cycling through
18583s	Pirates that's like pumping out a lot of
18584s	stats not necessarily guaranteed to do
18587s	so as Alicia San man I mean talk about
18590s	leveling here right omu pause double uh
18594s	swabby with the Snicker snacks on board
18596s	he is gonna be rocketing up the tavern
18599s	tears yeah it has completed
18601s	um
18603s	the quest too yeah
18607s	those Swabbies are gonna be going every
18608s	single turn it's nuts
18610s	love it on omu exactly it's nuts I know
18615s	you were just going through it one thing
18616s	at a time because my poor yeah cope with
18618s	speed anymore yeah
18620s	absolutely flying
18629s	um
18630s	I'll keep pressing buttons
18633s	the level you go to six gold you can
18636s	double buy but these minions all suck
18639s	do they
18641s	I see he's gonna go because of the quest
18642s	he is going to play the demon
18646s	uh yeah sure right you would rather yeah
18648s	you'd probably rather The Temper
18649s	munching a minion every turn so now you
18651s	probably sell one of the swampy Swabbies
18653s	and Coin and just buy yourself a nice
18655s	little dragon
18657s	probably having the pair is still nice
18659s	and you have like a two out of three
18661s	chance to still eat a minion and if you
18663s	don't like it's not
18665s	arable you still get no sure reasonable
18667s	enough uh Activation so I think I'm
18670s	selling the the droplet here yeah there
18672s	you go
18676s	uh as to what you buy that's less
18677s	obvious though yeah I mean I would buy
18680s	salty here but I think like I said a
18682s	good player buys bronze Warden
18686s	just a bit of a salty looter
18690s	yeah Alex JP with parasol to try and
18693s	keep him alive in these early turns but
18695s	a very weak Mill House for what you
18697s	would expect at this point in the game
18698s	right
18700s	yeah does is holding that gold and so
18704s	presumably has been spending on leveling
18706s	yeah it feels that way it's like more
18709s	old school Milhouse than recent because
18712s	stop leveling quite early on your house
18714s	a lot of the time now I think
18717s	maybe unable to tie this
18720s	uh but not too devastating of the loss
18723s	taking seven means he's still well out
18725s	of the danger zone for now
18728s	let's have a Tuesday on it's about to go
18730s	to four
18731s	three up to four so we can take a five
18735s	take a five take two fives oh yeah look
18738s	at this sell the what the swabby right
18741s	well yeah looking for The Usual Suspects
18744s	no me's brands
18746s	Hoggers
18749s	one
18754s	didn't hit the second hogger yeah
18756s	there's not two we've got to take the
18758s	middle card here I think
18762s	I think I like right card a little bit
18764s	more
18764s	[Music]
18766s	yeah he's not sure
18776s	okay the skills are not bad there's
18778s	three I think yeah are beefing up
18780s	Hoggers uh Health Divine shield and
18782s	stealth like uh Silent Night from back
18786s	in the day do you remember that card
18788s	no
18790s	yeah it didn't really play it was just I
18793s	think it was the three Mana tutu with
18794s	Divine shield and stealth and it was
18795s	like Silent Night like with ah with a K
18798s	yeah yeah
18801s	I learned all my jokes from blizzard
18803s	flavor Texas
18806s	explains a lot exactly is where they
18809s	come from and what's this dog Michael
18810s	doing
18812s	uh okay that's why it's fine it's turns
18814s	things I think it was like turn nine and
18816s	this was garbage but everyone's had
18818s	faster and faster start so the game has
18820s	gone and people got used to what's the
18822s	quest uh sorry so it's Rim goes to play
18825s	bath five Battle Cry minions and Alter
18828s	Ego so each uh even 10 minions have plus
18831s	six plus six then it swaps each turn so
18833s	opponent just completing the parasol
18835s	that's you know reasonable time to be
18837s	clean the parasol usually you'd like
18839s	that to turn earlier if you can uh but
18841s	still yeah the fact that this uh Alter
18844s	Ego still hasn't been completed needs to
18846s	be remedied Pronto for Rim goes to
18850s	yeah because it's it's not particularly
18852s	great as a quest largely because later
18855s	on it's pretty rubbish early on you know
18857s	you get something out of it six is okay
18860s	like you say needs to get on with it
18861s	let's just say with a chance here what
18865s	I've been greedy for six but it's
18867s	brought too small
18868s	okay branjamin looking pretty good
18876s	interesting that you know as a player
18879s	who has the lobbying check he's played
18881s	this very differently to be how we've
18882s	seen some people do it before he hasn't
18885s	actually
18886s	at every stage where he could have done
18887s	something crazy like even on turn four
18889s	where he could have just kept all the
18890s	cards in his hand for instance
18892s	he hasn't been willing to take the
18894s	damage or play it differently he's just
18896s	playing well and letting himself win the
18898s	lobby by playing good battlegrounds
18902s	the EXO here with a real weird board
18904s	uh with what was it Snicker snacks and
18907s	the
18909s	uh I'm sorry and the devil's in the
18912s	details yeah uh which was giving him
18914s	some pretty good vowel cries those
18915s	smoggers they can Target themselves
18918s	unfortunately which is a bit of a
18919s	downside of that instance but if you can
18920s	hit the Divine Shields that was a huge
18923s	amount of very nice stats that you're
18925s	gaining talking of gaining nice stats
18927s	with a person now he's got the fell back
18930s	he's got some demons he's got a tower
18931s	goes are getting buffed with three
18932s	dragons both sides every turn this is
18936s	big this is tempo that will get him to
18939s	six and give him a chance yeah the smile
18940s	on his face is all right here we go
18942s	again then
18943s	thank you fancy his chances here
18946s	yeah stealth pashmar is not to be
18948s	sniffed out either with
18950s	um just a lot of extra you know you're
18952s	getting to a point where you can get
18953s	Divine Shield wind Fury very nice Buffs
18957s	yeah I'm curious to see how he goes from
18958s	here
18960s	um because he wants to presumably keep
18963s	getting this Tower goes a big obviously
18965s	tripling the promo would be nice but
18966s	also which demons he settles on uh one
18969s	of the problems we fail about is you
18970s	don't really want seven demons it looks
18972s	great but I really want three or four
18974s	big focused ones and leave some utility
18977s	open for the rest of your board
18985s	okay so you still got the Snicker snacks
18987s	the Battle Cry is working alongside it
18989s	being a little weirder uh at this point
18992s	the demons are okay to just keep gaining
18994s	a bunch of a few stats every turn but
18995s	you're looking for something a little
18996s	more impressive now maybe guaranteeing
18999s	the strong arm to go off because with
19002s	the number of pirates you can buy with
19003s	another Peggy as well you really like
19006s	that Battle Cry to go off for just like
19008s	a plus five plus five at the end of your
19010s	turn
19015s	making a weird turn in that particular
19020s	way
19022s	the other person not really getting
19024s	anything in progress today let's have a
19025s	look how Alicia sounds going to do this
19030s	overseer with
19033s	two demons eating things obviously makes
19035s	a lot of sense yeah it does
19038s	ended up ditching the strong arm
19040s	interestingly which not where my head
19042s	would have been at
19044s	he takes a swabby
19047s	what's this snacks
19052s	it's pretty nice right
19054s	double Chomp to end the turn
19060s	these overseas are so good
19062s	they really are how strong they are
19065s	for yunchen though they're gonna have to
19067s	be pretty strong because he's the first
19068s	player down in that danger zone and he's
19070s	bet himself a pretty formidable opponent
19073s	on these demons the piggybacking's gonna
19077s	have to be rather appropriately
19078s	piggybacking him to Victor
19080s	yeah he is not getting there there don't
19084s	think here
19086s	close damage always adds up more from
19090s	the Snipes than I expect oh he's got it
19091s	yeah nice
19093s	very close but he's able to stay alive
19095s	for one more round sending Alicia sun
19098s	down into the danger zone and Alicia
19101s	sign is one of the players who is just
19104s	outside of the check point so he needs a
19107s	sixth or better in order to be able to
19109s	put the lobby in check so it really just
19111s	needs any Tempo he can possibly get does
19113s	it need to win just needs sixth at bare
19116s	minimum
19117s	a minute ago was saying CeCe say it's
19119s	hardly taking any damage look how that
19120s	Health total has come right down a
19122s	couple of fights and says to say really
19125s	lack of Direction has been a problem for
19127s	the last few turns
19129s	now we're getting somewhere though with
19130s	our world first theater coming into play
19134s	which you truly love to see in terms of
19137s	what you sell though it's kind of tough
19139s	yep so your biggest minions here yeah
19142s	but that's another Minion type right to
19144s	go with the theater that you really want
19145s	to be juicing up as much as possible I
19147s	think it's the 4-4 overseer like it's
19149s	good but it's not game endingly powerful
19153s	right it's
19154s	it depends yeah he agrees
19159s	what other murmidon another moment on no
19163s	way that's what you do all right now we
19165s	want to buff this now we want to buff
19167s	this
19168s	I'm not the Theo as well oh my god oh
19172s	he's going for he's gone full meme he's
19174s	lost it
19177s	this is strong it is this is a lot of
19180s	stats he's getting buddy
19190s	oh look at this it's getting plus four
19192s	plus four with every minion you play
19193s	that triples it doesn't double that
19196s	triples on the stats now as long as you
19198s	don't die this is oh it's the wrong
19201s	shape
19202s	it's the wrong side but it hits the
19204s	level it's dead look at his happy little
19206s	face
19208s	having a great time that was disgusting
19213s	absolutely disgusting to the naga it was
19216s	the exact right size to kill it but
19218s	instead of just piled straight into the
19220s	Leroy
19222s	who is that as his opponent is that room
19225s	goes to I mean that was disastrous for
19227s	him oh my Lord
19231s	[Music]
19233s	see exactly nine I believe for Yin Chang
19235s	and River Pusa playing alongside him oh
19238s	no it's all going wrong
19241s	from being in a position where he was so
19243s	close to winning it the demons just not
19245s	managing to scale up quite enough
19248s	I didn't see you played against him
19250s	there but uh zigzoo has that 42-41
19253s	Cyclone that went piling into the wrong
19255s	place last fight I bet he was very happy
19257s	to see that
19259s	oh yeah I'm sure he was very amused yeah
19264s	does have just jugs on the board with
19266s	Buffs available for his
19268s	his version of sneakers I feel like we
19270s	haven't seen Snicker snacks now
19271s	everyone's got
19273s	oh man there's a lot going on in this
19276s	game topologo with some very nice stats
19279s	gold and Peggy as well or Godzilla
19281s	that's more cards in hand bran if you
19284s	want it is more cards in hand with uh a
19287s	shell collector and a mirrors on as well
19290s	just keep clicking man yeah for later uh
19294s	yeah it's fine
19296s	knows what Secrets Press buttons
19302s	and wish you on your own server
19304s	yeah pretty much this is not easy to do
19307s	from across the globe
19310s	you should reach out all the way over
19313s	and yeah
19315s	oh my God smoker but there's no
19320s	oh but he sells it again it's too much
19322s	man icon
19324s	he doesn't know what to do dude I don't
19326s	play him this is just cards just cards
19329s	yeah
19332s	nothing up yeah and it looks big enough
19335s	right there was a 50 50 divide shield on
19338s	the other side there's a hundred Health
19339s	one on this side
19342s	yeah the zigzo is suddenly looking
19343s	incredibly small actually here
19351s	yeah look at all this static zexo cannot
19353s	stand up against this and unless he can
19354s	take out the baron he might be dying to
19357s	this as well
19359s	yeah the chaunt saves him there so he's
19362s	gonna live just another round
19365s	um but in a way it doesn't matter to six
19366s	so if he doesn't win this Lobby he's not
19368s	gonna have check for the next time I
19370s	guess there's a world where he gets
19371s	checked the time after but come on
19375s	with Yoon Chan going out as well Alicia
19377s	San even down at two health I think is
19379s	Happy his job is done say say though
19381s	here on the golden theater come on
19383s	Country Roads Take me home as this is
19387s	absolute filth what is happening dude
19390s	there is this is just gonna be a golden
19393s	strong show for no reason at all no
19396s	reason golden and it's um a neutral card
19400s	the theater
19403s	yeah that's neutral just keep playing
19406s	YouTube stuff and your three cards are
19409s	getting bigger
19413s	that's neutral
19419s	worked it out yeah I think you might
19422s	have oh my and honestly is this going to
19425s	be big enough like it's pretty large but
19426s	is it actually that it's hilarious but
19428s	is it actually really that big well you
19430s	get 160 160
19434s	I think so the rest of his minions are
19436s	not nothing you know this theater it's
19438s	buffing up the rest of them very very
19440s	rapidly I mean the question to be asked
19442s	is whether or not he should sell one of
19443s	these leroys for a different minion type
19446s	which I think if it was gonna happen it
19447s	would have happened a couple turns ago
19449s	or one turn ago now it feels a little
19452s	late and you'd rather just have a LeRoy
19453s	than a big minion you're gonna see how
19455s	it matches up now
19457s	um yeah so the theory would be the
19459s	league always trade one for one with the
19461s	opponent's medium or big stuff and then
19462s	you're bigger than their remaining stuff
19464s	with your heart silly birthday you've
19467s	got a theater on the board that's just
19468s	12 12 doing nothing apart from being
19471s	your engine but in the fighting it's
19473s	losing so destroy the Divine Shields you
19476s	know if you can get Divine shield on
19478s	your own
19480s	uh mounted there's a chance here I think
19484s	for
19486s	JP yeah there's a lot going on here
19489s	that's not oh that's not the hit you
19491s	needed oh what's that oh my I think this
19495s	one's spiraling at control yep he's done
19497s	so
19499s	magnetic Leroy's yeah there you go
19502s	that's the one
19504s	dude the murmidon is the most weird
19507s	messed up tea party in the world but it
19509s	turns out murmured on an overseer a
19511s	dragon they're just the guests that
19514s	theater needed walk into a bar yeah
19516s	Department says we've only got tea
19520s	they were like all right well we'll
19522s	chill out here for the day then so what
19524s	is that three players down six so biting
19526s	the dust unable to get that first place
19528s	he's so crucially needed Alex as one of
19530s	the other players put in the lobby in
19532s	check means that River booster Alex both
19533s	out say the only player with the lobby
19537s	in check currently still in the running
19539s	to take the win and I've got to be
19541s	honest currently right now I think he
19543s	might be able to do it I think he might
19545s	as well have him go through in the world
19547s	where it's not over after this needs a
19549s	top two
19550s	can help himself by winning the lobby
19553s	and simultaneously preventing stay safe
19555s	and winning the lobby and getting
19556s	himself into check for the next round
19557s	and this is what he's working with
19561s	some stuff it's just that one ursul
19565s	that's giving him a glimmer of hope but
19567s	it's not much of a glimmer is it
19570s	[Music]
19574s	I think it's two 70s 70s with a bunch of
19576s	30 30 and 40 40s I I agree with you I
19579s	don't think he's enough but it
19581s	it's one of those things where actually
19584s	at some point it might be that you trade
19586s	two for one with your bad stuff and your
19588s	good stuff goes one for one and you're
19589s	okay right and I guess to be fair
19592s	does have a his minions are smaller but
19595s	he has more of them and they're all a
19596s	kind of reasonable size
19598s	yeah it's gonna be I think he's I think
19600s	he's a big Underdog especially as his
19601s	big thing has his own has taunt which
19603s	just gets leroyed out of existence but
19607s	you know the 12 12s and stuff get picked
19609s	off without being a threat oh and that's
19611s	big if he survives this turn because
19613s	they'll have a massive sylamental
19615s	then on the other side we've kind of
19618s	been not focusing on Torah sound all too
19620s	much who has just been slowly but surely
19621s	juicing up his taragosas uh with the
19625s	sideshows as well
19628s	or the prize promo Drake sorry
19631s	uh are they big enough the tower goes
19633s	there's again
19634s	how do you make it so that if your big
19636s	thing dies to leave or you're okay
19638s	that's the problem here there isn't as a
19640s	backup big thing oh that's not the hit
19642s	for Leroy I think it is big enough right
19643s	this Divine Shields oh oh this tarragosa
19646s	is absolutely enormous oh it's so close
19649s	actually I think he's got it that's the
19651s	hit's got it yeah he's not doing their
19653s	jobs
19654s	oh man everybody else in the lobby
19657s	cheering for Taurus and right now to be
19660s	able to take down stay say because it's
19662s	gonna pretty much come down to this like
19663s	you say I don't think a room goes to has
19665s	got enough to stand up against either of
19666s	these players and it's just whether
19668s	taurusan can hold say say away from
19671s	taking the win
19672s	boom goes through double trip he's got
19674s	he's made to Triple the refreshing he's
19676s	triple the settlemental this is some big
19677s	stuff that's true especially it's
19679s	actually true yeah he's absolutely huge
19682s	the problem before was he had one big
19684s	minion it was taunted he was getting
19685s	killed by Leroy right now he's got the
19687s	settlement on somewhere in between times
19689s	as well as a sedimental he's found him
19691s	refreshing he is large as well now
19694s	large and in charge
19698s	well what he doesn't have any amalgams
19701s	though
19702s	uh I guess you could pick one up oh he
19704s	has one in hand okay
19706s	yeah play that card good luck
19708s	yeah I mean Target fell back but then
19711s	you have to lose an extra minion Target
19713s	Leroy yeah
19716s	oh this um Elementor has been doing some
19719s	work to get the size of these things up
19721s	to 45.50 through this game yeah for real
19723s	you kind of just think about milking
19726s	like back in the day you know people
19727s	were always complaining about the uh the
19729s	golden dazzling and avenge being too
19730s	strong and you know I know it's gotten a
19732s	lot weaker since then but you can't
19734s	underestimate it's still strong
19736s	yeah he must have just been crazily
19739s	milky like that's where the damage came
19741s	from under 13.
19745s	[Music]
19747s	far away Darren
19750s	probably so you've got a choice now do
19752s	you want to play a Rock so your
19753s	opponent's leave always have you know a
19755s	lesser Target to hit or do you want to
19757s	play a selfless because it's a selfless
19761s	oh man if you can Chomp up some of these
19762s	big alleys as well
19764s	oh no he missed he missed on the one
19767s	Ellie oh no he got it sorry because
19768s	they're all three eight sorry my mistake
19769s	mostly
19774s	um
19776s	ouch
19777s	or a terrible hit for the Leroy though
19784s	this is just a big old-fashioned minion
19786s	crashing into each other this Bish bash
19789s	Bosh man is this gonna end up a draw no
19793s	close but not quite not gonna die though
19796s	one HP at the end of it that's the real
19799s	problem now for both players up against
19801s	taurusan on the dragons is figuring out
19803s	how to remove the Divine Shields and not
19806s	have them and be immediately reapplied
19808s	by nadina which is a very very difficult
19810s	task to do because you know it's at four
19812s	Health it's not dying to the
19815s	tunnel Blaster itself and of course
19817s	tunnel Blaster having torn innately
19819s	means it's very difficult to make it not
19821s	die for a couple turns before the nadina
19823s	does
19824s	yeah it's nicely set up for Towson
19828s	um it's also nicely set up for say to
19830s	have to struggle to win this one Health
19832s	means that Vim goes kind of gets a free
19835s	shot of the person trying to win the
19836s	lobby before tourism gets to the the
19839s	more likely to succeed shot
19842s	leaving his opponent over just to give a
19844s	free swing of his enemy it's like yeah
19847s	sure let's just put there's a tunnel
19851s	blaster
19852s	I'm not certain if it's good but it's
19854s	definitely a tempting option
19858s	yeah it depends how much he knows about
19860s	the opposing board I assume they all
19862s	know each other at this point I feel
19863s	like we've had three players for a long
19864s	time since disagreement
19873s	not getting anywhere yet this turn
19874s	obviously very difficult without murlocs
19877s	into
19878s	do anything exciting your Malcolm and
19880s	even more difficult without mixing
19881s	because you can't even give it a shield
19886s	yeah just relying pretty purely on Raw
19888s	prawn alone
19891s	yeah I'd like to see something end up
19893s	with a shield uh these big or out of
19895s	like a fail battle or one of the 48
19897s	attack things or something at the moment
19899s	Lee was just going straight in here
19902s	okay Leroy's cancel each other out
19904s	there's a big start and then you start
19907s	from there oh I don't know man like if
19911s	the Leroy can take out the Azul but the
19914s	Divine Shield denies that and then it
19917s	dies to that instead meaning the room
19918s	goes who is gonna be able to take this
19920s	one down
19924s	massive Elementals apparently he had
19926s	even more light spawns that we didn't
19928s	see earlier
19930s	um gets it they say out of there and we
19934s	are going to go to a game number seven
19936s	but first we've got to finish game
19938s	number six and find out what's gonna
19941s	happen tourist and still won't be in
19943s	check even if he wins this but as many
19945s	points as possible to try and scrape
19947s	their next Lobby maybe right and Wim
19949s	goes who does need a top two which he
19952s	has achieved so we're gonna have another
19953s	player in check alongside Alicia San as
19957s	well who will also have check going next
19959s	turn all right so over half the lobby
19962s	gonna be in check next turn as right now
19965s	what can make this better uh for Taurus
19969s	and how can he upgrade his stats here
19972s	um kind of can't
19974s	uh it's more about what text you want to
19977s	put in there to try and
19979s	beat what your opponent's putting in
19980s	front of you how hard do you want to
19983s	refresh these shields you haven't seen a
19985s	LeRoy on the other side you can see
19987s	maybe there's one uh
19990s	they might have done but you know
19992s	there's very little Divine Shield Edge
19994s	so tunnel Blaster goes down in value
19996s	quite heavily
19998s	but if you can get a manted I think
20001s	you'd leap at that chance
20003s	actually the options like play a glow
20005s	scale or something ridiculous just to
20007s	put another taunty out there I don't
20008s	think that works though
20011s	hey it does choose to Puff the stats
20013s	which is a reasonable difference
20018s	and ends on that to take out the Leroy
20020s	yeah okay
20021s	your
20023s	he's just the one big minion but it is a
20025s	big minion that should get sealed
20026s	several times yeah exactly
20030s	and it's other reasonable mid you know
20032s	like a 70-70 uh well two seven seventies
20035s	I like
20038s	they're making a difference
20040s	um
20044s	that would have been very different
20050s	not able to get it done the Ellie's
20052s	climbing up I didn't think they'd be
20053s	they'd be climbing quickly enough but
20054s	just getting a bunch of triples yeah it
20056s	really racks it up doesn't it yeah yeah
20058s	they're not that great on their own as
20060s	60 60s but the second you triple one and
20062s	get 180 180 sure suddenly they're huge
20070s	it's kind of it now though right that's
20072s	kind of where he's at
20076s	will you make some fiddling around work
20080s	that's tempting obviously in the form of
20083s	the mantid
20084s	sure as is the Wildfire actually
20088s	um
20088s	probably less good than a LeRoy at this
20093s	point in the game where there's so many
20094s	Divine Shields that can obviously
20096s	dampen the power of the Wildfire heavily
20100s	and where are you selling like your your
20102s	zap's dealing with one of their levoys
20104s	or their nadina
20106s	up your taunted Leroy's dealing with
20108s	their Leroy your other Levi is trying to
20110s	deal with their big how it goes there
20117s	taking out on the zap
20121s	what's that
20123s	that is still very important you know
20126s	it's not all poisons and leroys right
20128s	especially this one with the Divine
20129s	Shields sort of coming and going on both
20131s	sides yeah yeah
20136s	trying to cycle through as quick as
20138s	possible more allies being found to get
20141s	the refresher going again
20145s	it's just eating everything just go go
20148s	ending on mounted all right
20150s	almost certainly the last fight of the
20152s	game coming in here with uh like you say
20154s	both players having achieved what they
20156s	want to do but Taurus and trying to get
20159s	that one extra point to getting closer
20161s	to check and make his life easier and a
20163s	potential Who games time
20167s	wow he goes to game eight that would be
20169s	the first time ever but the way today is
20172s	panning out I would not be surprised at
20174s	the slightest ever game week today okay
20176s	that's the big minion dead before
20177s	another Divine Shield is applied and
20180s	with all of that said and done that is
20181s	quite handsomely gonna be enough for a
20184s	rim Goku to close it out and take the
20186s	win here for the uh the first time for
20190s	him starting off with a second and then
20192s	a bunch of bad results in a row into
20194s	another or into the first time for him
20196s	here first which means every Lobby so
20199s	now I think we've had a different winner
20201s	no single repeat winner uh any point
20204s	along today's action which is very very
20207s	interesting to see and an instance of
20209s	yet another different style of comp
20211s	coming into play this time relying very
20213s	heavily on the taragosas as we've seen
20215s	but those nadinas placed so gorgeously
20218s	to be uh so important but in the end
20220s	falling to the alleys yeah and they just
20224s	were big enough those triples again
20225s	we've talked about it Quarters off guard
20227s	a little bit looked a little bit small
20229s	and suddenly hang on there's 250 150s
20231s	extra on the board you can't Leroy all
20233s	of them
20235s	um and stay safe for the longest time
20237s	there did look like he had a chance of
20239s	taking that Lobby down
20240s	but those Elementals really really got
20244s	big right at the end of the triples and
20246s	just got there and the mind game is kind
20249s	of weird here right they reached a a bit
20252s	of a standoff where this is what I can
20254s	do and my minions are so big that if I
20257s	take one out and put it in a Levi it
20259s	just makes me worse so
20261s	the tech options are quite low at the
20264s	end though I think although there's
20265s	always more Tech options if you think
20268s	foreign
20271s	a very cool game the demon and Ellie
20275s	Synergy something that used to be more
20277s	of a player I think with obviously you
20279s	know no me or dazzling to back up but
20281s	buff up the stats and then the demon
20284s	Synergy to eat them and we're thinking
20286s	of even with more of the demon eating
20288s	effects right with the Mind muck and the
20291s	picky eater I feel like I'm seeing that
20292s	less and less as time goes on with
20294s	Ellie's most of the time being a little
20296s	too fiddly to make work
20300s	yeah I'm just sort of looking at how
20304s	things are panning out just waiting to
20305s	see the standings but I believe we're
20307s	going to have five players with a Lobby
20309s	in check now going into game number
20312s	seven that means there's three players
20314s	who are still looking to take it into a
20316s	game number eight
20318s	and that would be absolutely nutty that
20320s	would be a Lobby a legend record if we
20323s	get to a game number eight and looking
20325s	at this now here is on screen
20327s	Dixon Young Chang trying to get
20331s	themselves into check meanwhile since
20333s	they say has got over 30 points what is
20336s	happening
20338s	he's just been taking it by storm like
20340s	after a bad start you know getting sixth
20343s	place but then it's just been Bam Bam
20344s	Bam Bam Bam top four every single time
20346s	if not better uh and taken us by storm I
20349s	mean I was saying at the start of the
20350s	day I really like the way that he has
20352s	been playing and uh even though you know
20355s	River pews are coming very close to
20356s	taking the win of his own earlier on
20359s	um it does mean the states to say for me
20362s	is still the favorite uh to take a win
20364s	given that he has been going for these
20366s	risky strats to get him closer and
20368s	closer to that point uh but now that Rim
20370s	gosu has entered the uh The Fray at this
20374s	point in the series uh I do think he's
20376s	got a very good chance of getting there
20377s	himself right with a very aggressive
20380s	style of play first or eight for a lot
20382s	of the time and like we say it really is
20384s	first or eight and no in between yeah we
20387s	were told that at the start of the day
20388s	watch out for him ghost's style we've
20390s	looked at it so first and second an
20394s	eighth yeah a six point five a five
20396s	point five and one middle of the pack
20398s	finish yeah it's pretty accurate just
20400s	all in you know lose or burst a win or
20402s	bust style lose or bust is my style uh
20405s	style to the game and that's what you
20408s	need in this check so a chance now for
20411s	him to just use his style to win the
20413s	tournament coming up soon
20415s	indeed yep so we are gonna go to a break
20418s	probably
20419s	for the last time uh in this tournament
20422s	as there are five players now with the
20424s	lobby in check but who knows it could be
20426s	a Lobby Legends first of going the full
20428s	eight games so do not go anywhere very
20432s	likely the final game of the tournament
20434s	coming up after this

21054s	welcome back to Hearthstone Lobby
21056s	Legends magic oh Azeroth in what is
21059s	probably the last game of the tournament
21061s	the check format again wants them again
21063s	oh sorry means that we are never sure if
21066s	the tournament is gonna be ending until
21068s	all eight players are in check until
21070s	they reach that 20-point threshold five
21073s	of our players have now reached that
21074s	point which of course means uh likely to
21078s	be finishing here right Lorinda
21080s	five in eight chance so depends on your
21083s	definition of likely but obviously
21084s	that's a decent definition of likely
21086s	sort of yeah more than half so it's
21088s	likely but not a lot more than a half so
21091s	it's not really likely yeah I like it
21093s	Doug I think he shows a good word for
21095s	this intro proud of you thanks uh once
21098s	again those players at the top I don't
21099s	know if we can show the standings or if
21102s	we're ready to go into game uh but
21103s	either way the players at the top of the
21105s	leaderboard says
21108s	uh Alex rimgosu and Alicia San with zixo
21113s	who is firmly at the bottom of the
21114s	stance for the whole uh start of the day
21117s	is starting to claw things back with uh
21120s	a first place and then what a fourth
21124s	place as well to back that up or a fifth
21126s	place to go alongside that which is not
21128s	amazing but obviously means that if one
21130s	of these other players can win like for
21132s	example example zixo himself two wins in
21135s	a row and he's your lobby Champion uh
21138s	but having said that nobody has won this
21141s	Lobby more than once uh taurusan and
21143s	yunchang the two players in bottom place
21145s	are the two players to have not won at
21147s	all uh but we still don't have any
21149s	repeat Victors yet which is very
21151s	interesting yeah very strange situation
21153s	to be in actually but also means that
21155s	you know the person who does win two
21156s	lobbies will likely be the one who who
21159s	wins the event which would be kind of
21160s	nice way to finish
21162s	um and that goes for the players who
21163s	haven't got the lobby in check too
21164s	they're going to need to win it a to
21166s	stop it from going out to another game
21168s	uh to ending here sorry and B
21172s	I was gonna cut myself off because Daryl
21174s	is not the pick
21175s	Daryl's not the pick why because you've
21178s	got to win the lobby and Dell always
21179s	comes third you gotta take your door I
21181s	think
21183s	oh it's a tough one
21185s	Ray bow another one of those like Tempo
21187s	Heroes that doesn't win
21189s	yeah he's taking the all right
21195s	damn maybe relying on getting the the
21198s	bribe as the quest then you can win I
21200s	guess
21202s	yeah or I mean you know you don't have
21204s	to necessarily go all in on the Daryl
21205s	part of Daryl all the way through you
21207s	can just use it very liberally to buy
21209s	you time in the early game and use that
21211s	potentially to level very aggressively
21213s	as the game develops too
21216s	yeah let's have a look um okay the
21218s	always denethius
21222s	lightfang enforcer mask
21226s	45 deaths now
21231s	do I take the Hench when I was going for
21233s	the 45 deaths okay
21236s	all right fair enough and I just feel
21238s	like feeling enforcement double end of
21239s	turn effect what
21241s	okay sure
21243s	I think we have her as well our burst
21247s	non-murlock Holmes Lobby I feel like
21249s	we've had it every single time uh
21251s	because it just feels like a snap pick
21253s	but this time somebody passed it up
21255s	right
21256s	yeah must have done because it's in
21258s	every Lobby that's the that's the
21259s	current promotion with murloc homes and
21262s	enough fish and heavy Lobby so yeah
21264s	Alex taking a gamble I've liked Alex's
21267s	approach to everything from constructed
21269s	and Battlegrounds I didn't see what Alex
21271s	had to choose from but chenvala is one
21274s	of the ultimate if I High Roll you ain't
21276s	stopping me Heroes that's true starting
21279s	off with a settlemental as well nice
21282s	yeah as you can see as well on the left
21284s	there everyone with a golden names uh
21289s	oh and so just had a look sorry oh he's
21291s	in check but yeah like you say uh it
21294s	looked like the player who passed up
21296s	murloc homes who has been like the
21298s	number one picked hero every time it's
21300s	been offered bust it up for shenvala he
21303s	was like not even that good right not
21305s	that good but very extreme uh you know
21310s	when it High Rolls which isn't that it's
21312s	not like it's garbage and never does it
21314s	it's just when when you don't get a good
21315s	start with Chevella it's just rubbish
21317s	well you do get a good start it's a
21319s	super good hero you can get really
21320s	Advanced States really fast with it on
21322s	on some games
21324s	yeah and I mean Elementals are the kind
21326s	of Minion type that win lobbies right
21328s	they they take it down all the way uh as
21331s	they say ah I do hope we get to see him
21333s	at some point it's been one of my
21334s	favorite players to watch uh on Clay
21336s	helmets so far uh very expressive very
21338s	joyful a lot of the time as well and
21340s	he's got himself a good enough start
21341s	here uh with two imprisoners two
21345s	droplets
21346s	it's a nice high Tempo beginning to uh
21349s	as you say a very high Tempo Hero at the
21351s	start in cartridge
21355s	yep
21356s	um just setting up like everyone else
21359s	sort of going into that turn six with
21360s	station says being one of the players
21362s	who doesn't hold things in hand I think
21364s	that's been pretty constant for him just
21365s	happy to
21366s	you know get on with it and for the sake
21368s	of a quest that might be played one more
21370s	minion he'd rather have the two health
21372s	or the three Health that menu might cost
21373s	you
21374s	that may still prove to be correct
21376s	although he's in the minority at the
21377s	moment of people doing that
21380s	REM goes who's skipping out on the hero
21383s	power oh because it's talk about yeah
21384s	yeah okay that makes perfect sense you
21386s	know you're very unlikely and I think if
21388s	he'd been keeping track of the task but
21389s	he could uh figure out that there was no
21391s	chance of him getting anything most of
21393s	the time
21395s	and so here we go into the quest turn
21398s	such an important point for all of our
21400s	players as zixo is looking to get
21401s	himself into check at this point just
21404s	needs a decent enough finish and I don't
21408s	know animal bribe could be that thing
21410s	you're not buying the minions right
21412s	you're putting them in your hand I
21414s	believe
21418s	low impact I mean if those are both
21421s	Ellie's or beasts in the middle then
21423s	you're looking at that a lot more
21424s	heavily there is of course the leap
21426s	Frogger there
21429s	I think bright I think because weirdly
21431s	even though zigzo only needs to get four
21433s	points to get him to check he needs to
21435s	win the lobby to stop all the people
21436s	who've got the lobby and check from
21438s	winning so he's kind of playing that way
21440s	himself anyway
21443s	okay buy seven minions probably the
21445s	easiest to complete out of these but
21447s	tiny henchmen a little underwhelming you
21450s	have a Divine shield in the form of Pop
21451s	bot which would incentivize me a little
21453s	bit more
21454s	um we haven't seen managerie Mayhem I
21456s	think once is it just not worth
21458s	considering for you so you spend more
21462s	gold because you're Daryl right that's
21464s	true
21471s	like look at it the other way in a way
21472s	so he's gone for the henchman but how
21474s	often is your devil stuff going to be on
21476s	the board to to stay Hench
21479s	that was looking quite nice though two
21481s	pop bots in the shop you can definitely
21482s	start dancing on those and look to see
21484s	you through in a very solid mid game
21488s	uh whereas Alicia sound I'd have to
21490s	guess is just gonna start the level
21491s	train here and get himself a five
21494s	baby a six drop if he wants to be
21498s	uh taking the damage I mean it's not
21500s	absurd right it's just a clean level
21501s	every turn I just imagine when playing
21504s	jaundice in the olden days but throw
21507s	quests in there oh my God it would have
21510s	been oh no my little brain could not
21512s	keep up
21514s	yeah okay as well as learning the game
21517s	when Chinese was absolutely nutty and I
21519s	couldn't I couldn't Jam this
21522s	well this isn't taking lots of damage
21524s	yeah he cannot Jan this but uh
21528s	Alex is going to drown this damage right
21530s	in his opponent's face
21532s	I like it
21536s	managed to get it on broadcast in a
21538s	relatively peachy way uh but the quest
21541s	completed here I think for Alex Wright
21543s	with mechs or battle cries whatever that
21545s	was yeah battle cries being uh completed
21547s	which gives him red and okay another
21551s	Ellie and a nice one to buff as well
21553s	with the big taunt Factor
21555s	just refusing to pay to level
21560s	just
21562s	I was bored on tap and tier 2 and I'll
21564s	die on tabatier too
21568s	yep
21572s	a little bit hand active so you should
21574s	be able to do the thing that he's there
21577s	to do Kimberly I just play Elementals go
21580s	up levels repeat release fan ending on
21583s	Tavern tier five and it's gonna take an
21585s	absolutely bludgeoning uh over the next
21588s	couple of turns but that's fine he's got
21590s	the stabilization tools he needs with uh
21592s	the Synergy between bran and jaundice I
21596s	mean even just in this shop right you
21598s	have amazing and a decent Target for it
21600s	in the form of the trickster as well and
21603s	then do it again yeah
21604s	again
21606s	gain and again
21609s	how do you always laughs on my accent
21611s	when I say again instead of again
21613s	really RDU laughs at my accent how bad
21617s	of an English personally
21620s	oh what's your tongue you're speaking
21622s	about the Rap God himself right there
21627s	okay John is not actually taking that
21630s	much damage as it turns out here really
21632s	getting away with the fact that they ran
21634s	into in gosu yeah really dodged a bullet
21637s	who's been holding back on all his cards
21639s	here transitioning over to rim goesu we
21642s	can see what Tavern tier 4 available oh
21645s	sorry
21646s	tier 4 minion available after leveling
21648s	to three with the imprisoner but you
21651s	know at 32 health I don't think it's
21653s	ridiculous to try and choose this up to
21655s	a Tavern tier five theoretically right
21659s	that makes sense it comes out as well
21661s	that last turn obviously against
21664s	um the farm putting a brand down when
21666s	they're in check as well it's probably
21667s	not necessarily ideal if you're going to
21669s	take damage and just play your two four
21671s	you might as well take the extra damage
21674s	um but the van got missed so yeah true
21676s	actually good point
21678s	big deal
21685s	Alex just cruising through
21688s	yeah but
21691s	yeah he he just needs to hit more
21693s	Ellie's right like he's clearly doubling
21695s	down on this strategy which is fine but
21697s	he needs to be hitting it and right now
21698s	he is not as uh
21702s	Alicia son
21703s	kind of isn't either what happened on
21707s	this turn was it a level
21709s	um that was the did it eat the trickster
21712s	because I thought the term was going to
21713s	be take tricks to take the dry eat the
21716s	thing
21717s	I don't know what happened here did he
21719s	play this and eat the trickster or
21720s	something
21722s	I don't know but this is not how I was
21723s	expecting this board to look
21725s	no
21728s	yeah interesting
21730s	or the muncher swaps it backboard again
21732s	okay yeah yeah sure so just doubling
21734s	down on this instead with bran it's big
21736s	but it's nowhere near big enough to beat
21739s	a Daryl which means it's gonna be
21742s	what 10 or so damage being chunked here
21745s	yeah there's this is what you talked
21747s	about earlier the the difference between
21750s	playing aggressively and trying to win
21753s	and just like losing horribly and I'm
21755s	not saying he's going to lose horribly
21757s	just yet but it's looking that way it is
21759s	kind of looking that way right you can
21761s	swap and re-buy picky eater okay after
21765s	getting an overseer as well enough
21768s	though like he's dead in two turns isn't
21771s	he said
21772s	get better rapidly it does Quest
21775s	completion Gonna Save him
21778s	I don't know okay holding back on the
21781s	Battle Cry for now makes sense you can
21782s	get yourself a buffed up permanently
21784s	Divine shielded taragosa as well now
21788s	this is big this is a massive upgrade on
21789s	this tone you get a 99 Divine Shield
21791s	that's gonna stick around and you have
21794s	the overseer for future turns that's
21796s	going to massively improve your picky
21797s	eater as well your muncher
21801s	yes
21803s	all right
21805s	uh with double overseer
21810s	not a lot to do with it not like huge
21813s	Synergy going with that overseer yet
21815s	obviously you want usually to eat but I
21817s	think he did take the bribe if I
21819s	remember correctly he's checking yes he
21820s	did the double overseer racing to
21824s	complete bribe and then things will go
21825s	pretty nutty
21827s	if he can survive long enough this has
21828s	been zigzo's day really can you survive
21830s	long enough
21832s	for your your strategy to kick in the
21835s	physics so it's stubborn not play okay
21838s	so these summon effects are very very
21839s	big alongside the khadgar as well
21842s	boss
21854s	okay
21856s	we've seen Curtis a few times today and
21858s	it really feels like the hero power just
21860s	doesn't keep up with other people's
21861s	quests I don't know if we've seen it you
21864s	get like one turn of oh this Curtis
21865s	looks big and then you never see them
21867s	again until they die a few times later
21869s	that may just be a small sample size
21871s	thing but that does seem to be the
21873s	pattern of purpose right now yeah it's
21875s	feeling that way isn't it
21877s	uh the dinathrius with uh who is
21882s	Demetrius Taurus Fang enforcer and end
21884s	of a turn effects figure twice 45
21887s	friendly minions need to die which he
21889s	has just done yeah and you know it's one
21892s	of the better ones to get like you're
21893s	also offered bannable right A lot of the
21895s	time he took that one turn one
21898s	that's his first Quest that we weren't
21900s	sure about so let's see if it pays off
21901s	for him yeah it does need to start
21903s	stabilizing him right now of course
21905s	being thoroughly in the danger zone
21906s	alongside Alicia sand and what end of
21909s	turn effects else do we have
21912s	nothing right now nothing hasn't offered
21915s	neither whenever I see this and there's
21917s	stuff in there
21919s	um
21921s	the dragon my name is my plane is just
21923s	melted but yeah
21925s	uh whenever I see it then
21929s	oh there you go I just feel like the
21930s	design team have seen something we
21932s	haven't about these end of turn effects
21934s	that could be right
21935s	uh in play testing someone in the design
21938s	team has broken this and they're being
21940s	very very careful about it because
21942s	whenever I've seen it in play it's not
21944s	seen particularly good yet
21946s	ah you really want the Amber Guardian
21948s	but there's just no dragons to go
21949s	alongside it and you know even if you
21951s	could afford to buy one you're not
21952s	getting the double effect of uh well
21955s	sorry you'd give pluses
21957s	oh sorry the razor goal yeah that's a
21959s	big one too it's all five uh so I think
21962s	you end up passing this up as he does in
21964s	the end at the end of your turn give
21966s	your dragons plus one attack that's not
21968s	good enough either
21970s	I wonder if we just end up discovering
21974s	I'll probably just roll Again The Refuge
21976s	might not be worth it
21980s	a little Hydra
21985s	you've got Elemental a beast
21988s	and demons and half a Mech okay I have
21990s	to do it's good it's a lot of stats like
21993s	this is what plus 16 plus 16 or
21995s	something on this turn from this uh
21996s	light van it is strong but it needs to
21999s	be really strong
22001s	yeah and why is that I think Elemental
22004s	should probably be out of his hand as
22005s	well so he gets the guaranteed red hand
22007s	buff on the thing was like a red hand in
22009s	hand
22009s	uh losing track of all of that see for
22012s	Taurus sound I don't think so I think it
22013s	was Smoking Gun okay that's fine so I'm
22015s	crazy then Nick's gonna be finally he
22017s	gets that other Hydra to play
22020s	okay important match here for Alicia
22022s	sand obviously has the lobby in check so
22024s	wants to get a win as we're playing very
22025s	risky to be able to get there and this
22027s	feels kind of like that threshold if he
22029s	can survive here and see it through then
22031s	he is in with a real shot of taking down
22033s	the lobby yeah for the moment he needs
22037s	to survive and he has done so for now
22039s	yeah absolutely those toe goes is just
22041s	starting to look sensible as poisson
22044s	takes
22047s	I seem a bit ambitious right from turn
22050s	one honestly but again I'm not going to
22052s	criticize anybody for being ambitious in
22054s	check format that's oh yeah you're going
22056s	to get some weird things that look bad
22058s	because you're trying to win lobbies
22060s	yeah pretty rough game and so Taurus and
22062s	does need either zixo or Yun Chang to
22065s	win now and then to basically win two
22068s	lobbies back to back uh to be able to
22070s	get there which is not over but
22072s	monumentally unlikely at this point in
22075s	the game especially as Alex looks to be
22077s	in a really good spot we haven't checked
22078s	in on him in a while but he's still at
22080s	full health he's at Tavern tier five
22083s	stuff's happening if he can find himself
22085s	the powerful Ellie synergizes or just
22088s	any strong late game prompt really this
22090s	is salvageable
22091s	you can say once again with a bribe the
22093s	last couple of times we've seen him over
22095s	the last couple of days he's picked
22096s	bribe more than anybody yeah
22099s	um and failed to hit like the Divine
22101s	Shields
22102s	um and exciting Minions that you need to
22105s	hit for it to work but maybe this time
22108s	he started off with a big Cyclone it's
22110s	only turned nine that's a huge cyclone
22112s	in fact for turn nine maybe this time he
22114s	gets the required stuff
22118s	what do we have here bran plus alley cat
22121s	oh my God this is such a weird comp 2019
22125s	again or something yeah this is old
22127s	school man a Battle Master to go
22129s	alongside with the Brian at a relatively
22131s	low life total rat pack too hey this is
22134s	strong this is stuff
22140s	should be enough it's it's not ginormous
22142s	but it's all right
22145s	oh that is pretty ginormous though on
22147s	the other side look at all this yeah
22149s	this is my concern right it's not that
22152s	um Alicia isn't strong it's just that
22154s	some of these things
22156s	just don't
22157s	you you see the the Synergy here and it
22160s	looks good and you just see the raw
22161s	power that some of the other players
22162s	have got just doesn't come close to zixo
22165s	is way too big
22166s	the animal arrived is coming it's so
22168s	clutch for in pretty much every time we
22170s	see it and that's just lethal
22173s	bam
22174s	oh my goodness because you're like
22176s	Alicia sand the first player who had the
22178s	lobby in check taking the L and he's
22181s	gonna have to hope again that either
22183s	zixo or Yan Chang can take the win and
22186s	right now hey zixo could do it
22189s	it looks like could be in with a Chance
22193s	yeah look at these coins
22196s	that's so much gold every turn we could
22199s	be going to a game eight which would be
22201s	a new Lobby Legends record if we make it
22206s	but it's going to be zigzo Yun Chan to
22208s	get there
22209s	Alex has actually lost a fight
22211s	um in the last round let's have a quick
22213s	look at what Young Chang is doing still
22216s	how does he transfer this into a good
22218s	thing Alex meanwhile oh he's going okay
22222s	bran golden recycling as well look at
22226s	what is happening here this looks like a
22228s	Lobby winner to me
22231s	about hip hop and tier six oh yeah
22235s	so you can sure this race what zigzo is
22240s	doing not yet but a second little rag or
22242s	a multitude of other helpful things will
22245s	definitely help him gain ground yeah it
22247s	just needs to try and Dodge six so for
22249s	the moment
22254s	he's on 34 so if he has the accident who
22257s	runs into six so he's big enough to not
22258s	take a massive loss that's true so
22261s	should be okay
22264s	keep rolling I don't think about Sally
22266s	is worth it oh decision oh it's too late
22270s	for no meat but I agree wow
22274s	it he's freezing while he's thinking
22276s	honestly I think he'll probably keep it
22278s	first but those are mounted in there as
22280s	well look so that's true yeah yeah and
22281s	the meant it is okay you have two
22283s	different minion types which is
22285s	fine for the moment
22288s	uh whereas Rim goes to we haven't seen
22289s	in a little while a weird kind of semi
22291s	Beast comp right now with a what a
22294s	smattering of Elementals a smattering of
22296s	just a big demon that he has left over
22297s	yeah from his previous previous efforts
22300s	this just feels like a Hail Mary attempt
22302s	to try and survive to me cards I found
22304s	under the sofa
22307s	quite right stuff I had left
22314s	all right what a good height I might
22315s	clean this all up
22317s	needs to take out the taunt first and
22319s	then right down the middle please and
22320s	we're looking at a possibility
22323s	of course okay every time
22326s	well I said he's gonna win damn close
22328s	one but actually managing to get the win
22330s	there it's an okay loss for Alex because
22333s	he's still a healthy total but now it
22335s	means like two losses in a row for Alex
22337s	and he's probably out of the running as
22340s	say say also taking the loss here more
22344s	of our players in check starting to lose
22346s	as both Yoon Chang and zixo hanging on
22349s	in there keeps the dream alive for the
22351s	rest of our players who are out of this
22352s	Lobby
22353s	a person refusing to die on the devil
22358s	very devil looking board though isn't it
22360s	it doesn't look like it's gonna threaten
22363s	winning the lobby yeah Maybe
22368s	yeah I agree it doesn't look like a
22369s	winner right now
22373s	and this was the problem with the choice
22374s	for me but again maybe he's just
22376s	gambling on High rolling the quest
22377s	rather than High rolling a particularly
22378s	bad hero
22380s	so if he gets the bribe with the devil
22382s	then he can just win the lobby so maybe
22383s	that's what he was going for
22387s	oh my he's definitely catching up Alex's
22390s	but he's definitely behind
22395s	oh yeah there's the book as well
22396s	available on devil so
22400s	a fair point
22409s	Alex
22412s	trying to work out how he wants to make
22413s	these Manti Queens workout
22419s	now right to start juicing it more and
22421s	more but in the end just ends on double
22423s	poison just wants to survive zixo is one
22426s	heck of an opponent to be up against
22427s	because these stats are enormous
22431s	yeah
22432s	a part of me wonders if he should just
22434s	lose to Zig Zone wait for the next game
22436s	but I think he's big enough that he
22437s	could win this Lobby himself so he's got
22439s	to go for it that's a guaranteed taunt
22441s	on the Azul which is a monster of a
22444s	first hit
22446s	that's not bad either yeah going into
22448s	the device Shield is really not what you
22450s	want to see it's just a question of
22451s	whether he can survive and I think
22453s	that's enough to keep him in this game
22455s	for one more round yeah let's go have a
22458s	look at some yog action
22461s	boy it is I was told what was coming
22465s	you haven't seen much of the wheel of
22467s	York
22474s	all right spin it baby
22480s	wheel me up
22483s	aha okay it's a lot of Buffets yes it's
22489s	not good it ends up pretty poorly with
22491s	the Divine Shield
22493s	and the uh the trickster getting pretty
22495s	small I just ruined his board yeah it
22499s	was kind of terrible your giveth and
22502s	taketh away
22504s	meanwhile
22506s	that's just still going another Azul
22511s	and he has space
22514s	so just laughing like yogg it just
22516s	turned his board into absolute garbage
22519s	uh
22523s	Rim goes to as well losing I can't
22525s	remember if we covered that as now half
22527s	the remaining Lobby
22528s	other non-check players
22531s	yeah it's looking like he's not big
22533s	enough
22535s	such an interesting balance right we
22537s	have two players on Tavern tier six one
22539s	on four and River boosters staying on
22541s	three with the Daryl and uh currently
22543s	winning which is of course to be
22545s	suspected but like turn 11 12 13 am I
22549s	generally right and that's where Daryl
22551s	starts to fall off because the scaling
22553s	catches up maybe even a little earlier
22555s	actually sort of 10 11 12 but
22559s	I mean he's going to be better at Dale
22560s	than I am so explain to going a bit
22563s	further yeah
22567s	I think so still sort of
22570s	story of his day is large here but
22572s	there's definitely
22574s	still not enough Divine Shields and
22576s	poisons and things going on here
22579s	aha
22582s	okay nice little board a little bit of
22584s	synergy between the
22588s	uh the tricksters and the taragosa of
22592s	course I wanted to say get through this
22593s	one minion
22595s	just that one the rest we don't mind
22597s	okay you're gonna ever this is all on
22600s	the left dies in this fight because I
22601s	don't no it's not even close right
22604s	it's just not close
22607s	and animal bribe is Blossom
22611s	your convert I'm a big convert I mean it
22614s	helps when you have what one golden
22616s	overseer and a regular overseer as well
22618s	but still this is really big
22621s	but it's kind of why it's good right you
22623s	know you can take the overseas yeah yeah
22624s	it takes a while to build up so you know
22626s	you're looking for them
22629s	oh there's a parrot that's golden right
22632s	okay now we need to see leveling into
22635s	triple trickster into Baron okay come on
22642s	uh oh and the Rattler as well actually
22644s	right that's reborn on your parrot this
22646s	is sick
22647s	yeah I mean you know you're not winning
22648s	this Lobby unless something nutty
22650s	happens and this looks like the start of
22651s	something nutty so
22653s	yeah happen it
22654s	uh-huh
22659s	is the start of cheating your way to
22661s	winning this Lobby I think
22662s	sure yeah I don't think the rest are
22664s	doing anything
22668s	all right attempt number two let's do it
22669s	Baron
22671s	he did lose though so that's an active
22673s	till tolerance
22676s	gold
22683s	yeah I'm not really sure what you're
22685s	even looking for
22686s	uh at this point I think you need to
22688s	tear up and hope you don't die use your
22690s	exactly uh there's not much for you on
22692s	for
22693s	Alex just not going big enough fast
22698s	enough
22699s	yeah I even zigzo that's looking good
22701s	right now that's right it's not enough
22703s	is it given that he had to a guest ditch
22706s	gar and never found dazzling never found
22710s	no me uh major Domo master of realities
22714s	whether or not he found them he didn't
22715s	go for them and he's left with the board
22717s	that's just like a solid third fourth
22719s	place kind of board the two players in
22722s	Czech are fighting off now and they are
22724s	the two who have got the the not so good
22726s	boards and Young Chang and zigza are
22730s	fighting it out to try and win the lobby
22732s	he stopped whoever wins this semi-final
22734s	from getting through that's how it feels
22737s	okay so I don't want to call this one
22739s	over actually necessarily because the
22740s	attack is not that high on uh River
22745s	pussy's board and if we can get some key
22747s	hits with the poison
22750s	yeah he's he's winning now right Divine
22754s	Shield just does it yeah damn
22756s	is that lethal Hill as well
22762s	damn you're right
22764s	oh huge Reba future going down 26 noob
22774s	until of the people without the gold
22777s	next to their name
22779s	didn't want a golden Battle Master with
22782s	brown on board surely that's good right
22787s	maybe it's not maybe the stats are just
22789s	too big on the other side
22791s	what is happening here
22795s	oh it's time to consider cashing in
22797s	that's what's happening here two Divine
22799s	Shields
22800s	is
22804s	apparently not it's time to hide from
22807s	Leroy's
22813s	I mean go again like you can just sell
22816s	your Azul if you hit irel that's fine
22819s	you buy it
22820s	get it Belle silver tunnel Blaster as
22825s	well because you probably aren't going
22826s	to be making use of that Tech yeah
22829s	oh my God look at these minions yeah
22835s	now is a reset I guess on the deflector
22838s	would be a nice immediate cheap big buff
22840s	to his power level definitely yeah
22842s	that'd be really good actually
22846s	the big one first yeah I thought this
22847s	might be different just in case there's
22848s	a LeRoy hiding with taunt put something
22850s	else first that's that's nice
22853s	yeah I like it it's just hiding your
22855s	your game winning Cyclone away from most
22859s	of the tech options and you really don't
22861s	care about this um
22864s	tunnel honestly because you're so huge
22867s	that if you get a fair fight going on
22869s	which this now is yeah I'm lucky
22872s	that's Alex out Derek we're gonna get a
22874s	game at number eight no shot man both
22878s	players who didn't have the game in
22880s	check taking it down it's a world's
22882s	first in lobby Legends no rest for the
22884s	wicked as we're gonna be going all the
22886s	way to game eight no matter what and uh
22889s	in terms of how this shakes things up so
22892s	needs to win players guaranteed qualify
22895s	Oh no you're right yeah
22899s	needs to win to get into check otherwise
22901s	he'll be on 19.
22903s	oh poor boy
22906s	It's Time Lucky
22912s	we're gonna need some real help from
22913s	yogg because right now it's not doing it
22917s	[Laughter]
22925s	sorry
22926s	I'm done dude I'm done
22930s	apparently
22932s	dude like Yin Chang just rocks up to the
22935s	bar pulls out a Glock and shoots Bob in
22937s	the face like that was just
22939s	[Laughter]
22942s	hilarious man that's brilliant
22945s	the other yolk we saw just scrambled his
22948s	board into a total mess
22955s	amazing scenes
22958s	I mean that's the perfect end right
22960s	because you're not really winning at
22961s	this point against all the stats that
22962s	zixo has so uh we'll take that we'll
22965s	take that as an entertaining end
22967s	yeah
22969s	glamo
22971s	ah
22975s	sorry keep nothing but laugh
22978s	this is how it ends down you're on your
22980s	own
22982s	York has broken me
22985s	uh triple mounted I mean it's kind of
22988s	good here right because you can get more
22990s	likely to buy in Shield but maybe you'd
22992s	just rather have two of them even if
22993s	they don't have the right Shield yeah
22994s	probably
22995s	all right the infinite coins come back
22997s	I'm guessing for the last time because
23000s	look at these bad boys over on the
23002s	left-hand side all throughout the board
23004s	physics a massive Divine Shield massive
23007s	stats uh you know even if a cyclone just
23010s	Chomps into this uh mantid both times
23013s	it's not gonna make a difference yeah
23015s	and again the positioning from zixer
23016s	there we saw him sort of agonizing
23018s	around it a couple of times turn to go
23020s	making sure that his his biggest cyclone
23022s	doesn't die totally in vain although it
23025s	should be as close fight as it happens
23028s	it's gonna be close
23030s	go on York
23032s	come on yogas let's let's do it again
23038s	give us the rod of roasting one more
23039s	time
23048s	a York really is garbage later on isn't
23050s	it oh well plus three plus three
23052s	dominions in the shop
23054s	on turn 16.
23060s	who was it whose body gave you the spin
23062s	wheel of Yorkshire oh was it just yogs
23063s	around I of course it was yeah yeah
23065s	oddly enough yeah I couldn't remember to
23067s	add some energy with the hero power if
23069s	it was just the hero but yeah that was
23071s	so it wasn't yoga actually
23074s	I am actually confused now I was it not
23078s	it has to be probably it was right my
23080s	brains just wheel of Yorks are on
23082s	yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's his wheel
23087s	amazing
23090s	ah
23097s	all right I mean there's not much zixo
23099s	can do right
23101s	um end on an amalgam
23103s	maybe I'll get some small taunty thing
23105s	in the way just to make sure you don't
23107s	get levoyed I keep on about that but
23108s	that's sort of thing I don't think he
23110s	cares he's seen no problem his things
23113s	are just too big
23115s	yeah nice 50 50 the end as well to get
23117s	the stats but I think zixo knows as we
23120s	all do
23121s	probably didn't matter the only way this
23123s	could possibly go wrong is if it's like
23125s	perfect back to back conveyor belt uh
23129s	hit into something else hit into a
23131s	poison hitting something else hit into a
23132s	poison uh as I mean hey the tunnel
23135s	Blaster helps for sure to get rid of the
23137s	Divine Shields but even then the stats
23140s	are just too big right
23142s	uh-huh I think so although
23145s	although
23147s	although yeah
23151s	yeah just man that was close again
23154s	exact it's exactly six dude that was
23157s	close and it was huge as well that means
23159s	Young Chang does not put the lobby in
23160s	check you know what that means
23162s	it means he's gonna win the next game
23165s	what that means
23167s	game number eight and still two players
23170s	if they win it will take us to a game
23172s	number nine
23175s	yeah that's right two players out six so
23177s	somehow managing to claw his way in
23179s	despite where was he at like a couple
23181s	games ago he was dead last right yeah uh
23185s	with six points like quite far lost
23187s	actually but then was able to get a
23189s	first
23190s	a
23192s	uh oh then like a fourth but then a
23194s	first again here really turning it
23196s	around and getting us thoroughly in to
23199s	and anyone can take a situation as six
23201s	of our eight players now have the
23204s	possibility to win the game next turn
23206s	and I want to say
23207s	surely Lorinda this is the time to do it
23210s	especially as you know you don't want to
23212s	put too fine a point in it but the
23213s	players who are at the bottom of the
23214s	lobby they have you know they haven't
23217s	been doing very well it would be
23219s	unlikely to see a miraculous turnaround
23221s	from them and suddenly start playing out
23223s	of their mind and just taking down lobby
23224s	after Lobby to win back to back for the
23226s	victory or they've been saving their
23229s	energy for this moment
23232s	this is their time
23236s	so game eight is coming up so taurusan
23240s	who's had you know just been chilling
23242s	did come second a Lobby or two ago
23245s	um wins it
23247s	and Yun Chang comes last and doesn't get
23250s	the lobby in check and then Young Chang
23252s	Wins Game nine then we go into the game
23254s	ten where the winner takes off
23257s	oh it's possible and you and I Collapse
23261s	in a heap in the corner crying and
23263s	laughing all at the same time yeah
23265s	exactly when we reach hour 10 I'm
23267s	thinking that it might be a little bit
23268s	too much to be carrying on with him
23270s	after we break the graphics as well as
23272s	well as the casters uh but a cool game
23275s	uh very cool to see anima bribe finally
23277s	doing what zixo always knew it could
23279s	break so we've seen a couple times where
23280s	he's picked it and in the mid game
23282s	around turn like 9 10 maybe 11. he just
23286s	gets an unlucky fight or he's going for
23287s	these big Buffs and he's hitting minions
23288s	without Divine shield and just gets torn
23291s	apart by poison murlocs or the mounted
23294s	Queens which are just going to be
23296s	running through
23297s	all your minions if they don't have to
23299s	buy and shield but here look at this
23300s	five minions Divine Shields massive
23301s	stats no one can stand up to it
23305s	and again like you said earlier like you
23306s	said a minute ago he's been trying to do
23308s	this for a while really not been picking
23309s	up the things for quite been getting
23310s	these massive numbers but not with the
23312s	Shields and showing there why you need
23315s	the shields as well because despite the
23317s	fact you've got massive numbers you know
23318s	people can take you down with a poison
23320s	they can do certain things to slow you
23322s	down they can one for one you believe
23323s	always as we see the ever Under Pressure
23326s	graphic
23329s	cool struggle
23332s	yeah can only take one more we need to
23334s	see a win next Lobby uh as
23339s	looking at how this is shaping out for
23341s	Yun Chang he just needs anything other
23343s	than eighth or I guess like drawn eighth
23347s	uh and he will be
23349s	able to put the lobby in check whereas
23352s	for Taurus and after another eighth
23354s	place that's his third one so far uh he
23357s	needs a really good performance right
23358s	he's third at least purse in check and
23361s	you know realistically if he's gonna
23362s	have a chance he needs to win uh in
23365s	order to stop an opponent from just
23366s	ending the tournament right there so for
23368s	both of those players looking like he
23369s	needs to be essentially back-to-back
23371s	victories for there to be a chance and
23373s	for everyone else just a single win and
23375s	they're able to do it which for me you
23377s	know I would be happy with any of our
23378s	players winning but there's two that
23380s	stand out to me in particular with River
23382s	Pusa being so close to getting the win
23384s	but having it snatched away from him in
23386s	a very upsetting manner
23388s	but uh zixo going from Zero to Hero
23391s	having a terrible start but turning
23393s	things around after being in last place
23395s	after Lobby four is uh such a cool story
23398s	we love to see these turnarounds from
23399s	all of our players and uh we wish them
23402s	all the best of luck but as I'm saying
23403s	this again when we come back from this
23406s	break it will be Lobby eight which
23408s	should be the last lobby of the
23411s	tournament but a couple of our players
23412s	down at the bottom of the leaderboard
23414s	might have something to say about it so
23416s	we'll see how it will conclude after
23417s	this

23613s	thank you
23617s	hello everybody for once again probably
23621s	the final time no definitives nothing
23623s	for certain here in lobby Legends as I
23625s	play as well know but as we've said many
23628s	times six of our eight players have now
23630s	put the lobby in check and need a win to
23632s	end the tournament and uh I don't know
23636s	like I said basically the players down
23639s	at the bottom it feels unlikely they're
23641s	gonna be able to get a win at this point
23642s	given they haven't got one so far but
23644s	with their backs against the walls the
23646s	players who don't have the lobby in
23647s	check this might be their time to
23649s	finally get the job done hey Lorinda
23652s	they both had a second place in their
23654s	last two lobbies sure one each so they
23656s	could both do they're in the final of
23658s	Lobby Legends of course they can do it
23659s	but they can both do it uh but it does
23661s	feel like the momentum if such a thing
23663s	even exists of
23665s	this Marathon as it has become now is
23668s	with zigzo who has won two of the last
23670s	three lobbies now and to be honest
23672s	despite the fact he had very few points
23674s	before that looked strong even in the
23676s	games that he did badly in because two
23678s	or three games were very much take one
23681s	less damage and maybe win the lobby even
23683s	before uh this run so he's looking at a
23686s	good spot but way at the Top If you look
23689s	at the points total it says he stays up
23690s	to 32 and a half points now like that's
23694s	more points than everybody got put
23695s	together yesterday it's not quiet but
23697s	it's getting there yeah after just twice
23699s	the number of games how impressive uh
23701s	for him to have done so uh but you're
23703s	right he is getting to a truly
23704s	ridiculous level uh of points and is
23707s	just looking for that one win and we've
23709s	seen players go for drastic strategies
23711s	already in order to do so we've talked
23713s	time and again about the quests that
23714s	players are doing but there seems to be
23716s	a bit of a debate amongst the players
23718s	about what type of Heroes to go for
23720s	because we saw on the one side for River
23723s	poster I think it was going for Daryl on
23725s	the previous game which is as you laid
23727s	out at the start a quintessentially
23729s	third place hero you're gonna gain MMR
23732s	but you're probably not going to win any
23733s	lobbies with it uh which was a pick that
23736s	we were a little surprised by whereas
23738s	Alex JP passing up on murloc homes who
23741s	has been like the most insta-picked hero
23743s	that we've seen pretty much so far this
23745s	tournament you know helps from the fact
23746s	that it is guaranteed to be seen every
23748s	game but I don't think it's ever been
23749s	passed up up until this point
23751s	uh passing out for shenvala which is
23754s	clearly just hoping for one of these
23756s	massive spikes uh that you can get uh
23759s	with that kind of a hero and it didn't
23761s	work out for him but the more I think
23763s	about it the more I respect the strategy
23765s	that he was going for yeah absolutely
23767s	there is money at stake for sort of
23769s	second place through to date and it
23771s	scales quite slowly but yeah you're at
23774s	the top end there with a lot of points
23775s	already if you're Alex or river poster
23777s	or SSC you're going to get sort of top
23779s	four come what may and so I think just
23783s	look at the heroes and go which one is
23785s	most likely to come first place not
23787s	which one is the best hero for MMR and
23791s	that devil pick is a hard one because
23793s	there is a couple of quests that really
23794s	help you with Daryl so you're not trying
23796s	to High Roll the game you're trying to
23798s	High Roll the quest uh I'm interested if
23801s	that made a a dent in the thinking
23804s	though if you just wanted a solid hero
23805s	try and take it to a win but we saw
23807s	without the appropriate Quest it just
23809s	fell apart as devil there so
23811s	you just know what master was going into
23813s	that but we are into game number eight
23815s	six players can win the tournament this
23817s	time around two cannot and zigzo has a
23821s	chance of taking George with what is in
23823s	the lobby I can't see on the top right
23824s	yeah I mean we've got no quill balls
23826s	which is a bit of a hurter but you know
23829s	Max murlocs Energy any Synergy there
23832s	with like poisonous or grease bot
23834s	anymore I mean back in the day when
23836s	zigzo used to stream a lot he would
23839s	literally just take George murlocs every
23841s	single time and win every single time
23842s	with it he was like his build obviously
23844s	things have changed that doesn't work so
23846s	well anymore and it's taking a great bow
23848s	interestingly here
23851s	all right well uh no demons but I guess
23853s	the the power of demon Graver has been
23855s	nerfed drastically uh with uh
23859s	the Imp that summons him whatever that
23861s	one was called going by the wayside
23862s	beasts being in the the pool and Mex as
23864s	well being definitely the most important
23866s	one as we are offered a turn one
23869s	wondrous wisdom ball I mean it's in the
23872s	name right the wondrous symbol 18 cards
23875s	to hand isn't even that bad either
23877s	uh unwizable is great you're trying to
23880s	win as well and wisdom balls sometimes
23882s	just throws up unusable shops oh boo
23888s	no no no no no get away from it subtle
23892s	anything else
23894s	I thought it was refusing thank you
23898s	oh okay Sarah in the lobby you haven't
23901s	seen many of them but stats say across
23904s	the games that the series we played
23905s	since this patch across various tracking
23907s	sites that the series actually super
23909s	super good still
23911s	right and that was something that
23912s	confused me because at first I thought
23914s	my deck tracker was maybe keeping up
23915s	with the last patch when you of course
23917s	had the chroma Wings right that would
23920s	instantly like give you a massive power
23922s	Spike at the start of the game with you
23923s	Sarah but now those have been nerfed
23926s	pretty heavily I think it's fair to say
23927s	down to only giving plus attack uh what
23930s	is yasera doing why is it worth it to
23933s	have uh this much you know Dragon Age in
23936s	the early game I think it's presumably
23939s	and again I haven't been dealt a Serial
23940s	once in the 60 or 70 games I've played
23942s	since the patch came out okay um so I
23945s	haven't had a chance to witness it
23946s	properly but it's just a Synergy in
23948s	dragons when you're guaranteed repeated
23949s	dragons is just powerful enough right
23952s	taragoza is obviously really good right
23954s	now
23955s	um you can make it how it goes to work
23957s	without a promo Drake so if you miss
23960s	it's not a disaster and obviously you
23963s	know Calor Gas nadina are still decent
23965s	throwing some quests where you're going
23967s	okay um get the Divine Shield plus three
23970s	plus three whatever it's called Amber
23971s	Guardian oh yeah that works you know
23974s	you've got a lot of good stuff going on
23975s	there and you're guaranteed pretty much
23977s	to find it and given that we saw Alex
23979s	pass up a guaranteed triple it does feel
23982s	like we're heading towards most likely
23984s	the leveling here right I don't think
23986s	there's uh anything else that would be
23989s	more enticing than a triple would have
23991s	been on the previous turn and like you
23993s	say we want to find Tariq and Amber
23996s	Guardian
23999s	yeah just tell you what he's seen here
24000s	that's made him stop for a moment
24005s	probably nothing probably just making
24007s	sure he's got his head in order
24010s	Act basically as well on
24015s	uh Dawn grasp as well which is
24018s	interesting to see I think the last time
24020s	we saw that was maybe we saw it once
24022s	today but I remember xqn playing it and
24024s	having a bit of a rough time yesterday
24028s	uh but leveling to three on three it
24030s	makes sense right you instantly want to
24032s	find the the more powerful minions to
24033s	Triple up
24035s	yeah the tough party of dawn grass is
24037s	always knowing when to turn triples down
24040s	you turn down more triples than you
24041s	think you should for sure I just don't
24043s	know how many more
24048s	fantastic and then as to how to off this
24051s	up
24052s	what do you think in bribe
24054s	I mean look at them sorry yeah I'm
24057s	thinking bribe but
24060s	is there any Synergy between red hand
24062s	and uh and uh sorry and you're Sarah
24064s	because you're going to be refreshing to
24066s	look for those key dragons quite
24067s	frequently yeah I think so I think Vibes
24069s	just too good but yeah that's that was
24071s	also crossing my mind
24073s	or golden minions Max in the pool we've
24077s	seen that work once right for zixo could
24080s	work again a Smoking Gun added uh for a
24083s	hero that's already going to be having a
24085s	lot of reborn death rattle effects that
24087s	was very tempting yeah smoking go and
24089s	then just go for it right just just let
24091s	exactly yeah and then play questless for
24093s	the end of the game okay very
24095s	importantly probably not a Lobby winning
24097s	Quest The Smoking Gun it's more just a
24099s	uh again an MMR Quest that you're
24101s	looking to get a good second you can win
24104s	by getting to six right like you're
24105s	saying they're like crew yeah it's not
24106s	like Devil where you've got to keep
24108s	doing the thing on tier three so you're
24109s	not progressing you could just use the
24111s	gun to
24112s	pick up one or two minions and off you
24114s	go
24117s	okay wow looking for the double level on
24119s	seven gold it looks like four Yoon Chang
24121s	and he's been picking up a lot of coins
24123s	along the way thanks to Shell collectors
24126s	repeatedly
24128s	these are four drops probably I noticed
24130s	people yeah
24132s	and not very good ones unless there's a
24135s	Mech obviously in play
24138s	oh okay there is turns out we'll have a
24142s	680 voice you'll make that's fine
24145s	oh fantastic you know you you would
24146s	obviously like a uh a milker of some
24149s	kind perhaps to start actually looking
24151s	towards winning the lobby
24154s	it's got the biggest snow
24159s	yeah always
24167s	and
24170s	oh double parrot
24172s	so tempting but nothing to go with it no
24175s	beasts oh there are beasts in play okay
24177s	because oh it's a power it's a beast oh
24178s	my goodness somebody stopped me right
24181s	it's been a long day we get in there
24183s	there's a regular tarry goes off the
24185s	hero power is offered and this is what
24188s	you're talking about right Amber
24190s	Guardian to just go Bish bash Bosh one
24192s	after the other uh double
24195s	paragosa double divine shieldage
24201s	okay
24205s	that's a decent enough start obviously
24207s	here it's just going to be constant
24208s	ticking up of the turret goes
24211s	yeah it's what we're supposed to witness
24213s	a promo Drake away from things getting
24214s	really exciting over there right still
24217s	deciding about these parrots
24222s	let's buy one
24224s	and just buy any old junk and freeze
24226s	give you a very good chance of getting
24228s	the golden palette yeah that's the any
24229s	old junk
24231s	yeah I can respect this like para is
24234s	a little bit more limited utility again
24236s	because as I said there's no
24239s	demons in the game to go with the
24240s	trickster however just beasts alone you
24243s	can be hitting some very nice outcomes
24245s	with in the late game goldrin or the
24249s	crocolisk something of that ilk
24252s	he will be stippling into a five if he
24254s	does roll no other golden so he'll level
24259s	um by pallet number two and then the
24262s	turn after he'll be able to triple it to
24263s	a five where there's Mama Bear there's
24264s	Crocs he
24266s	it's got the Synergy but
24269s	has he got time
24272s	he's getting beaten up here
24282s	there we go
24287s	and take a four which is much worse than
24291s	a five for beasts yeah he's good really
24292s	is yeah I guess just too afraid of dying
24295s	or bad I think if it's uh you know a
24299s	first or eighth kind of game as it is
24300s	here again
24302s	might have been a little tempted to take
24303s	the five in general I think that's what
24305s	he was setting up for and that's why he
24307s	thought for so long about it but he's
24309s	taking so much damage he's so weak that
24311s	like you can't get first if you're dead
24313s	no matter how aggressive you're playing
24315s	to try and get it no that's true he drew
24317s	the Line in the Sand and said you know
24319s	what we've gone past the part we're
24321s	playing aggressive actually is sensible
24322s	anymore and he's against a very a very
24324s	scary opponent uh in zixo on the other
24326s	side for sure
24329s	and now he's got a bunch of rubbish to
24331s	look at on this discover
24334s	oh okay well if they're not expand Fury
24338s	the parrot that's not bad
24340s	there's a lot of divine Shields
24346s	yep divide Shield your boy he wants to
24349s	be all right it's the best he had
24350s	available so it's it's something it can
24352s	get good fast with a good next turn
24362s	where's Alicia standing here with
24366s	hoping that that's the last minion to
24368s	die okay I think that does now give him
24370s	a guaranteed triple on the
24374s	chroma wing
24376s	heading into potentially Tavern tier six
24379s	if he wants it or sorry leveling into
24381s	five and then taking a six drop and is
24384s	it a healthy life total without much
24386s	real Direction right now I like it yeah
24389s	I like it he's just 14 somebody so he
24391s	feels like he's in a decent place
24394s	he's not tempting here tempting enough
24397s	anymore so much weaker with the recent
24400s	Nerfs and only I guess technically two
24403s	Divine Shields but even with the
24407s	mackerel and the deflector but it's
24409s	still not worth it and settles on the
24412s	orgazord ending up with hey a pretty
24414s	decent selection and a board that's
24416s	going to round out very nicely yeah the
24418s	thing that organizer does really well is
24420s	not just draw you constant value for the
24422s	rest of the game but is an instant board
24424s	Phil
24426s	um so it takes that and he'd be able to
24429s	go to Six next turn look for some Naga
24431s	action
24433s	Yan Chang's still looking to get enough
24435s	points to get into check
24438s	the very early selection of very good
24441s	hero cards you can turn everything to 15
24443s	15s because he's jaundice
24448s	well I'm using over the next two or
24450s	three turns
24461s	your value or Divine Shield dog I
24463s	understand the problem here
24466s	foreign
24469s	oh my God okay we're seeing a lot of
24472s	cycling back and forth here
24478s	okay it gets a good car to a triple here
24481s	yeah that's true there's if you can end
24484s	on the Uther you're very happy with that
24486s	potentially looking to tank a lot of
24488s	damage first of all as I believe murloc
24490s	homes is quite a bit stronger
24496s	yep
24498s	just crashes into the Divine shield no
24500s	like that one the dragon Divine shield
24502s	and then he'll be in a world of trouble
24503s	as it is he's gonna take so much damage
24505s	he's high
24507s	tier minions
24510s	even that like it doesn't look a lot
24511s	there's 11. yeah it's quite a lot it's
24514s	pretty scary stays above just the 15
24517s	damage breakpoint though which is an
24519s	enormous difference uh for Yoon Chang to
24521s	have a chance uh again he doesn't need
24523s	anything spectacular uh in this
24526s	tournament he just needs to not come
24528s	eighth exactly oh sorry not in this
24530s	tournament in this round
24532s	um he needs to not come eighth but if he
24534s	doesn't win he needs Taurus and to win
24536s	for him to not just have the tournament
24538s	end right there so realistically for Yun
24540s	Chang I guess this does need to end up
24542s	being a win yeah yeah you can't rely on
24545s	tourists on doing it for you obviously
24547s	tourists own the same boat with yancheng
24551s	spite out leaves the spiteful zigzo
24554s	still hasn't taken any damage at all
24555s	this game yeah it's been Tempo King man
24559s	but then he's been like that we've seen
24560s	that in multiple lobbies earlier in the
24562s	tournament where zigzag has been at the
24564s	top of the leaderboard then just goes
24565s	Bam Bam zero
24568s	I have indeed as uh oh actually a couple
24571s	players I didn't realize dropping down
24572s	Into the Danger Zone in Alex and say say
24575s	finally taking a look back at zixo who
24578s	you kind of start to wonder how he
24579s	hasn't taken any damage so far because
24581s	it doesn't look that powerful really
24583s	does not no
24586s	looks like you might be about to start
24588s	getting powerful but this um this CAD
24590s	guy almost been doing a heck of a lot of
24592s	work just making random stuff with the
24594s	with a bronze Warden up here
24598s	yeah I mean it's it's good right and you
24599s	have golden with the cadgar as well I
24601s	guess to summon a bunch more stuff
24606s	oh yeah I get it but
24610s	going on here now this is
24612s	make it's not really the makings of a
24614s	winning composite it's the makings of a
24616s	get to six and hope I find a winning
24617s	comp for sure that's fine I mean now
24621s	that's what you pick gray Bell for you
24623s	know it's not a winning hero but like
24624s	you say you you temper your way through
24626s	to being able to lose a couple fights in
24627s	the late game
24632s	a lot of money coming in as well oh wow
24638s	[Music]
24640s	I think they're starting to feel it man
24641s	he I'm imagined to be honest maybe he
24644s	didn't give up but would have been
24645s	feeling like there was no real chance
24647s	for him to win but now he's got up to
24648s	that crucial 20-point threshold it
24651s	starts to bite all that much more when
24654s	you do end up taking these bad beats
24655s	yeah although he's been here a million
24658s	times before in various tournaments
24661s	you should be able to handle it by now
24663s	oh and then the crush ends up taking the
24665s	hit instead of attacking that was close
24667s	that was definitely winnable for him
24672s	more players started to take loses and
24675s	into that losses sorry and end to that
24677s	danger zone uh with Rim gosu falling
24679s	down as well as dinathri has taken
24681s	another loss we're seeing real polarity
24684s	with dinathrius where it's either really
24686s	good or just feeling like it's dying
24688s	super fast
24689s	yeah and I think that's how it was he
24691s	originally and it's still like that a
24693s	bit but the quests now are so much more
24694s	consistent with the Buffett and atheist
24696s	that um in general we are seeing it
24699s	we're just winning lobbies a lot more
24700s	but maybe it's still tough sometimes and
24703s	goes through leveling to six I think and
24705s	then getting a triple on danathius as
24707s	well when you're at nine Health it's
24708s	incredibly bold
24711s	eat it though
24713s	yeah I mean I respect it you're like
24715s	you're all in or you're all out you're
24717s	either winning or you are dying and if
24719s	you die whatever you know if you finish
24721s	second or eight it's the same thing
24725s	pretty silly turn
24728s	oh
24730s	now he's in please let me survive please
24733s	let me survive
24735s	uh what do you even spell one of the
24739s	Roots no okay yeah that makes sense I
24742s	suppose
24743s	where do you position stuff
24745s	you really want this officer to die last
24747s	I think that's the quest he's on so
24751s	uh yes correct if you could maneuver it
24756s	and right in a cage to buff up this uh
24759s	faux Reaper let's go let's see if we can
24762s	get it done he's got some real powerful
24764s	units
24765s	and his opponent is kind of medium
24769s	strong right now actually this is here
24772s	is about to lift off right it's not big
24776s	yet but it's just turning that corner
24778s	yeah it is actually isn't it it's like
24780s	this turn where it's really starting to
24782s	go insane yeah it's too much isn't it
24787s	yeah can he survive
24789s	holy rice
24791s	oh my
24794s	keeps him alive might even win the fight
24795s	or Frogger as well hit the Leroy 50 50.
24799s	no oh my God he actually nearly had it
24803s	he still is though okay well that was
24806s	absolutely ridiculous scam
24809s	that was such a scam okay Matt if Grim
24813s	goes you can win it now that would be so
24815s	it was the last thing to die yeah yeah
24818s	that's not bad either
24824s	golden oath sure yeah okay you have a 30
24828s	30
24830s	something whoever yeah
24834s	probably a 30 cleave
24837s	yeah yeah I think so but then like none
24839s	of these are permanent cards right so
24841s	theater can be your in-between where you
24843s	just cycle through the yeah who said the
24846s	Leroy if you want to kind of agree with
24848s	that as well
24850s	other org
24857s	oh you're gonna get this turned he's on
24860s	two Health dude he's strong Wave Rider
24863s	with Divine oh sorry with win theory on
24865s	the foe Reaper as well is not so
24868s	just need some Divine seals if he stays
24870s	alive with the orgazoas he will get
24872s	those over time
24876s	just makes a guest appearance
24881s	bells and orgas are okay yeah I guess
24883s	you want to end on Leroy for just max
24885s	power
24887s	yeah because he's still gonna not die
24889s	right like yes he's super powerful he's
24892s	a super good spot but his actual numbers
24893s	on the board outside of this cleave and
24897s	the one taunt they're not huge so yeah
24900s	got to spend the end of each term making
24902s	sure you're okay to win this fight and
24903s	then go back to being crazy for the rest
24905s	of your first two thirds of every turn
24909s	all right this is going to be his
24910s	opponent and an opponent he could be by
24914s	the looks of it as long as his fur
24916s	Reaper doesn't just sack into a minion
24918s	it dies too straight away or gets sniped
24919s	off by that chroma wing with win Fury
24922s	slapped on it it's just gonna be tearing
24924s	through this board yeah double metal
24926s	going on now but even so
24930s	like they're pretty small things over
24932s	here
24933s	clutch fight and I mean Leroy could just
24935s	deal with the macro right out the gate
24937s	okay A bit of an unfortunate mess it's
24941s	tiny
24944s	that's so big oh those two Leroy's for
24948s	him ghosts who might actually be the
24950s	difference between winning or not like
24951s	he's a real Contender now double
24953s	Professor discovering murlocs thankfully
24957s	for his opponent not killing him because
24958s	the damage cap is still just about in
24961s	play but surely someone has to die here
24963s	as I believe Taurus and in another
24966s	eighth place disaster for our player in
24970s	the bottom of the leaderboard means that
24973s	for uh Yun Chang now it is very simple
24976s	he's in the same boat as everyone else
24977s	where it has to be a win here or it's
24980s	all over one way or the other and we
24983s	haven't gone through this for about six
24985s	hours so just quickly go through who Rim
24987s	gozu is
24989s	um was the first Korean Battleground
24991s	screamer to play competitively across
24993s	other servers
24995s	um introduced The Warrior curve to
24996s	Korean players and he is one of those
24998s	players
24999s	um the gifted players always call them
25001s	who are great at new Patches at new
25004s	cards putting things together early on
25006s	but does have that whole come first or
25010s	to lose attitude right from the start
25012s	and that seems to be shooting this chick
25013s	format and he's in a position where he
25015s	just win the tournament with that style
25018s	of play right now
25020s	ends up with another rat in the cage as
25022s	well which is fantastic with that giant
25024s	faux Reaper
25029s	misses on the assistant but Orchestra is
25032s	a very reasonable backup
25035s	cycling through that slot now with all
25037s	gazellers and just seeing what he can
25039s	find to put in there yeah done now I
25041s	gave the rundown because you know he's
25043s	looking in Prime position we might not
25044s	get another chance but it's not over
25051s	missing out on the Divine Shield hurts
25053s	that would have been uh pretty much
25054s	guaranteed win against whoever you're up
25056s	against this is still very likely to win
25058s	because I mean just look at the blooming
25059s	stats on all these cards it's only turn
25061s	11. like this is that's true end game
25064s	comp as well right oh this is a huge
25067s	hybrid I'm just not gonna touch anything
25070s	uh Divine Shield win Fury Hydra yeah
25074s	you're right they're just too big on the
25075s	other side aren't they he's got his own
25077s	Levi so that's the chance I guess I
25079s	guess the Hydra hits the right places
25080s	and the Levi gets to kill off the
25084s	um the cleave on the other side then the
25086s	numbers are quite level Maybe
25092s	you see who's going to scale faster if
25094s	Yun Chang loses this fight even if he
25095s	survives he's never outscaling it for
25097s	the rest of the game
25100s	sad first hit you wanted to lose the
25102s	Divine Shield there
25105s	it's the end of the Hydra yeah wind Fury
25107s	not mattering is this the end of the
25109s	cleave it is
25113s	yeah that doesn't matter but I did The
25115s	Shield I think it matters enough he's
25119s	fine the 100 402 Stones alone here at
25121s	the very least question is just if Yun
25124s	Changs up dying here because he needs to
25127s	chew through these high uh static
25129s	minions
25130s	think that's the Difference Maker but it
25132s	makes it summons back alongside it is
25135s	that enough
25136s	not quite not because
25138s	not the bot the other way around and um
25141s	he would have been dead all right not
25143s	fearing the reaper in this instance and
25145s	still a contender right he's definitely
25149s	uh oh ailing slower but still keeping up
25153s	just about as Alex falls by the wayside
25155s	oh no can we take a look at it so
25158s	there's a hundred hundred something that
25160s	just lost in that fight thank you
25162s	though it's leapers oh if leapers takes
25165s	down tournament he's finally got leapers
25168s	let's go
25170s	remember there's Golds on the left Golds
25172s	on the right and just leapers in the
25174s	middle
25178s	so he's looking for Reborn right uh as
25181s	the big one
25183s	another rat instead of the mama bear
25185s	yeah that'll do yep
25188s	and then you just start leaping
25191s	gonna leap
25194s	leap into victory
25197s	because of the
25200s	uh sorry because of the buff on his
25205s	Baron uh he doesn't need to be too
25207s	afraid of Zap right as that will just it
25209s	wouldn't be great it would be bad for
25211s	him because it would kill off the rats
25215s	if he goes so if he goes first against a
25217s	big zap it might go wrong because all
25218s	the right beasts will get buffed and
25220s	then the big zap would kill off the
25222s	Baron that way
25224s	quite a long hypothetical though
25233s	meanwhile him goes to we've actually got
25235s	a match here because William ghost is
25236s	getting incredibly large yeah damn this
25239s	photo Reaper of his own is not to be
25240s	sniffed at
25242s	uh the Nadine are actually doing
25245s	completely nothing now though I did not
25247s	realize at the time and uh very clutch
25250s	tunnel Blaster as well in order to
25252s	delete some Divine Shields next turn
25254s	though apparently yeah Nadine is just a
25256s	blocker right now okay let's see how the
25257s	leapers go
25259s	but he could spam some leapers for is
25261s	that'd be great much appreciated
25270s	so much stuff those just kind of look
25273s	big enough doesn't it even without the
25274s	leapers effect like just the cauldron
25276s	alone is so much stats
25283s	right leap leap leap leap
25289s	oh look at all oh
25290s	hydro's doing its job and it's still not
25293s	done enough I don't think
25295s	yeah I agree this is way too big now
25302s	and that's the end of another player
25305s	looks that way
25307s	a couple of players going down Yoon
25309s	Chang and River Pusa I believe which
25312s	means this is
25313s	finally guaranteed the last game of the
25317s	tournament with both players who didn't
25319s	have the lobby in check Falling by the
25320s	wayside Rim goes to Alicia or zekso
25323s	looking to take it all down
25328s	yeah and zixo looking to be though that
25331s	looked like a bad lineup for zixo that
25334s	last game like he got cleaved twice
25336s	everything died in a bad order and he
25338s	still won
25339s	it feels like there's a great spot here
25341s	but we have seen there's some pretty big
25344s	stuff on the other side of both of these
25345s	players
25348s	knobby game eight new record for this
25352s	tournament that's right literally as
25354s	much as the uh the graphics could fit in
25356s	there is
25358s	I mean an upgrade but not much of one
25362s	right the extra stats not making a huge
25364s	difference
25368s	yeah the taunt the important part here
25373s	um where do you want to taunt things
25375s	obviously having your second leaper
25378s	adds an extra layer of leakage
25382s	man it's just insane like when you
25384s	consider how much stats that gold ring
25386s	when it was golden was offering the fact
25389s	that leaper ends up being more most
25391s	likely it really just speaks to how
25392s	powerful this comp is right really
25395s	absolutely yeah as well
25397s	um with a snake in the shop as well the
25399s	reborn
25400s	ready if 60 survives this one looks like
25403s	it's a complete the comp next turn
25407s	and this does kind of feel like the one
25409s	final chance that zixo has
25412s	before he just runs away with the game
25413s	the one time he can lose yeah these are
25416s	both being a cleave basically three
25418s	Cleaves go into this look
25421s	okay so this is a big deal let's leave
25423s	one
25425s	that is big but he's taunts in the way
25427s	we now need to hit the baron he misses
25430s	and there's now gonna be a taunt in the
25432s	way for the second wind Fury
25437s	[Applause]
25439s	foreign
25441s	needs to survive smallest minion and it
25444s	is gonna die to the zap which does make
25447s	things more interesting now
25449s	I think I think it's not I think that's
25451s	it right I think um yeah it's not even
25453s	close yeah yeah that's it damn such sick
25456s	positioning on the zap right like it's
25458s	so rarely on not just slapping zap in
25460s	the first position putting it third was
25463s	the exact Difference Maker because
25464s	otherwise it was just rushing into the
25467s	the rats the the leapers whatever
25469s	whereas that was the perfect slot to put
25472s	it in
25473s	in order to get the exact snipe you need
25475s	and that means now is six so dead it's
25478s	really close is
25481s	he dead no
25482s	no oh my God
25484s	no chance to react there with the reborn
25487s	that was in the shop ready to go and
25489s	that positioning as you highlighted
25491s	there Derek just putting the six nine
25493s	the the little cleave up first just to
25495s	do the the job that yeah so yeah it's
25498s	set up to happen and then make you think
25501s	it's the wind Fury in the correct place
25502s	on the second one beautiful
25506s	yeah fantastic play there by room goes
25508s	to and you know if he does end up
25510s	winning that'll be the play that does it
25511s	because this is the the last one at this
25514s	point one way or the other you know
25516s	unless we somehow end up with a tie
25517s	which I find very unlikely I think this
25520s	is going to be the final round and looks
25522s	like the scaling for Rim goes who is
25524s	probably a little too high as we see
25526s	it's a bit of golden theater game uh on
25530s	the other side for Alicia sandwich we
25531s	haven't even been able to see all too
25533s	much of uh big Divine Shields the
25535s	ability to reapply a couple of those
25537s	Divine Shields with the chroma wing and
25540s	nadina
25541s	but against all that cleave on the other
25544s	side
25544s	I don't know if I'm crazy but I don't
25546s	see it stacking up no I'm trying to get
25549s	through where you'll go through the way
25550s	in my head where you can get this mecco
25552s	to come back to life like five times you
25554s	need it needs to do so much work you
25556s	can't it can't be there in the
25558s	positioning right
25560s	um it needs to reshield so many times
25564s	to do the damage required
25567s	and there's only one of them as well
25569s	like double Metals away sometimes just
25571s	scamming people a little bit but only
25572s	having the one means things are going to
25573s	happen in a linear fashion
25576s	I've been wrong many times before but I
25579s	don't see it
25583s	all right here we go final battle
25586s	of the tournament what it all comes down
25589s	to crowning our champion right now
25592s	there goes the mechool
25596s	okay Divine Shields gone again
25599s	big cleave does reapply oh no sorry the
25602s	Nadine is surviving means there's no
25603s	Divine Shield reapplication quite yet at
25605s	the moment it's looking like a runaway
25607s	victory for rimkosu absolutely he's
25610s	going to take it down Derek yeah it's
25612s	too much man too much
25616s	too much from here all over we've been
25619s	closer he's going to be the champion
25623s	surviving on two health I could not be
25625s	more appropriate for the tournament
25626s	right on uh dinathrius to take it all
25630s	down in the end no uh one of the most
25633s	commonly picked Heroes this tournament
25635s	and it has been the bane of so many of
25637s	our players existence taking these big
25639s	quests but unable to get them completed
25641s	as a room goes to a big first place for
25644s	him there and a big first place for him
25646s	overall as he's the champion of uh the
25649s	lobby Legends magic of Azeroth as the
25652s	question to nathrius with a real magic
25654s	all along yeah the player who likes to
25657s	come first or last with a hero that
25659s	likes to come first or last couldn't be
25661s	a more appropriate win for this um
25663s	latest expansion great to see it done
25666s	it's been a very eventful tournament but
25669s	I've been going through not the best of
25671s	starts but showed us what he could do
25672s	from about Lobby three or four onwards I
25675s	think it was I've lost track of the
25677s	stats now unfortunately but there they
25679s	are but yeah just just got it going
25681s	towards the end
25684s	oh wasn't even in check for the longest
25687s	time
25690s	yeah exactly it took a while to get
25692s	there at that point and then what like
25694s	three
25695s	three thick oh no it was like four games
25697s	where it was in check because we have
25698s	Reaper boosters only with it in check
25700s	and then three players then five then
25702s	six uh where it finally ended up ending
25705s	it so it was like four separate games
25706s	all with it in check and our players
25709s	managing to uh to crawl through
25712s	uh in a gauntlet of an event very very
25715s	well played uh by all of them
25718s	yeah absolutely and great to see it go
25721s	down with sort of the sort of comp we've
25723s	come become accustomed to seeing at the
25725s	end um huge win Fury Cleaves
25729s	um in one side we've got leapers in that
25730s	top three and just stuff doing all the
25736s	different stuff going on with different
25737s	builds different Heroes different quests
25740s	and a lot of Versatility that's the word
25742s	I'm looking for after 20 000 words
25743s	versus across the board for everybody
25747s	and and the final battle was reminiscent
25751s	of that
25753s	yeah as we can see some of the big
25755s	players fall in by the wayside that
25757s	brutal loss there for zixo who I really
25759s	think if you've been able to survive
25760s	that could have gone all the distance
25763s	um those leapers really getting there
25766s	like you said the reborn coming on next
25767s	turn as well
25769s	in my head the zigzo is probably going
25772s	to win there I realized dream ghost you
25774s	could win that's why I gave the whole
25775s	sort of been go-to run down halfway
25777s	through the lobby but once XO had set up
25780s	the the leapers it can always go wrong
25783s	but it seemed quite unlikely that the
25785s	baron was going to get sniped but Vim
25787s	goes who made it happen like you you
25788s	pointed out in the running and it was
25790s	fantastic spot he put that zap in third
25792s	place he put the little cleave first and
25795s	the big cleave second and most people
25797s	lose that fight even with the same board
25800s	but his positioning meant he got rid of
25802s	the baron and when you get rid of the
25804s	baron against leapers that's all you've
25805s	got to do the rest of the comp is is
25806s	garbage basically
25809s	and there we have it only one player at
25811s	the end of it all finishing out of the
25813s	check position as Yun Chang uh pulled it
25815s	together at the end in a very uh
25817s	respectable performance ending on 22
25819s	points uh zixo and rim goes who ending
25823s	up the only players with repeat
25824s	victories as uh I do want to give a big
25827s	hand to zixo as well who managed to not
25829s	let a terrible start to the day tilt him
25831s	too much and uh you know despite any
25834s	other complications as well able to turn
25835s	things around and very narrowly miss out
25838s	on the victory but of course our biggest
25840s	congratulations to uh room go soon for
25843s	taking it all down
25844s	as you say player you highlights at the
25846s	start of the day Play Always enjoying
25848s	watching as well
25849s	um doing incredibly well to get second
25851s	place remember poster once again in the
25853s	action in the thick of it the second
25855s	final day the Second Sunday for River
25857s	Pusa has qualified through round one of
25861s	every Lobby Legend
25863s	um a player I'm sure we will see a lot
25865s	more of making a strong stake for being
25866s	one of the best tournament Players out
25869s	there
25869s	and Alex who we've seen at Masters tours
25872s	who we've seen in other Lobby Legends
25874s	taking down that fourth place uh we're
25877s	seeing him perform incredibly high level
25880s	at both formats simultaneously and I
25883s	don't think there's any other players
25884s	can really say that at the moment
25886s	the four uh Rim goesu uh
25890s	is this I know you're saying that uh
25892s	Reaper has been a repeat performer in uh
25895s	these Lobby Legends
25897s	uh is he one of the players that we've
25899s	seen a whole bunch of times before
25901s	getting through in these ladder finishes
25903s	for me even ghost is the first time that
25905s	Vim ghost has got through on my stuff
25906s	okay wow long it could be a different
25908s	name being used but as far as I'm aware
25911s	um it was his first Lobby Legend like
25913s	qualification okay pretty cool uh and uh
25917s	of course congratulations to him for
25919s	doing so I believe we have him standing
25921s	by to get a few words about his victory
25925s	uh so I'm gonna ask Rim gosu can you
25927s	hear me
25930s	oh I can hear it
25932s	oh fantastic uh congratulations uh very
25936s	well played today uh how are you feeling
25938s	about your win
25940s	oh very exciting
25944s	very exciting and
25947s	um
25948s	I'm happy
25951s	as you should be I think that was very
25953s	well played uh that was a hard last game
25956s	it looked like zixo with the leapers
25959s	might be able to win uh but you had a
25962s	very very well played game uh how did
25965s	you uh did you know that zixo had the
25968s	leapers and what did you do to play
25970s	around that a little bit
25972s	yeah I think 62 has a broke so i oh
25980s	I just I decided to Japan
25985s	people
25988s	okay yeah yeah make sense
25992s	uh so far as well uh with the way this
25995s	tournament has been going uh and The
25997s	Meta has been going how have you been
25999s	enjoying quests uh being introduced into
26001s	the game
26005s	um
26007s	goes to go to
26013s	Village
26015s	we become
26016s	and
26019s	nagas and Rippers
26022s	so so very very good and
26026s	foreign
26033s	so I'm putting
26035s	yeah so I I win
26039s	you win you did win congratulations
26041s	again uh do you want anything
26045s	good job good job buddy
26047s	um uh anything here okay thank you your
26049s	fans of your stream perhaps
26053s	oh
26055s	thank you Paul watching my streaming and
26059s	oh I love it I love your pants
26065s	foreign
26075s	well played
26082s	all right back we go I mean we
26084s	appreciate very much uh him giving us a
26086s	few words there absolutely and and I win
26090s	sums it all up for me yeah there it is
26092s	get many more viewers of that stream
26094s	going forward with the the playstyle
26095s	he's shown over the last few days as
26098s	well with you know the very aggressive
26100s	play the very exciting play to watch
26102s	none of this third plays nonsense just
26104s	win it or go home and on this occasion
26107s	he won it he won it he did do it indeed
26110s	and in spectacular fashion I think as
26112s	well that's that placement is something
26113s	that obviously as a a lonely Noob at my
26116s	MMR is not going to be popping up all
26118s	too much but the exact kind of play that
26119s	comes with only tremendous amount of
26121s	experience and great in-depth knowledge
26123s	of how Battlegrounds is working and with
26127s	that said and done Neil at the end of a
26129s	marathon session here going the full
26131s	eight games almost looking like it might
26133s	go longer at the end of it as well we've
26135s	reached
26136s	um the conclusion of our tournament
26138s	how's it been for you my friend I have
26142s	thoroughly enjoyed nearly all of it it
26145s	was absolutely amazing to watch
26148s	um watching a new meta unfold watching a
26150s	diverse meta unfold lots of things going
26152s	on uh I've been lucky enough to observe
26155s	took three of the other Lobby Legends
26157s	and I enjoyed those for what they were
26159s	as well but those matters were not so
26161s	diverse as this a very different styles
26164s	where you had to be incredibly precise
26166s	with doing the same as everyone else but
26168s	doing it better which is also enjoyable
26170s	in its own way but watching this
26172s	absolute craziness four days into a new
26175s	meta where nobody knew what was
26176s	happening nobody really seemed to solve
26179s	anything that it was evolving for our
26182s	eyes yeah I had a great time don't I
26183s	have Come Away with a lot more questions
26186s	than answers uh yeah this tournament uh
26189s	but I think for me like you say it's
26190s	just a fantastic event like uh The Meta
26193s	game right now I'm really enjoying it
26195s	quests open up so many different
26196s	opportunities you have to think much
26198s	more laterally about your win conditions
26200s	instead of for the most part going all
26201s	in not one particular minion type of
26203s	composition which makes for much more
26205s	Dynamic games which we love to see I
26207s	think unless I'm mistaken though that we
26209s	are all done with uh this tournament in
26213s	lobby Legend So I will say thank you so
26216s	much every single one of you for
26218s	watching make it all possible and uh I
26221s	hope we did you proud uh as a mostly
26223s	standard Noob coming on over to the
26225s	Battlegrounds and giving it the best
26226s	I've got it was a lot of fun indeed so
26229s	we will see you next time for more Lobby
26231s	uh Lobby Legends to come later this
26233s	month I believe right towards the end of
26236s	September which will be very cool to see
26238s	so thank you once again for watching and
26241s	we'll see you then
