1044s	[Music]
1051s	hello everybody and welcome to day two
1054s	of lobby legends eternal night my name
1056s	is gia and joining me is a very dapperly
1059s	dressed collins how you doing man well
1062s	it's the finals you know you gotta dress
1064s	up kind of showcase the respect of these
1066s	players they worked really hard to get
1068s	here and i do want to you know shout
1069s	them out and just you know be on my best
1071s	behavior for this final so i hope
1075s	everyone's having a great day we should
1077s	have a ton of great games today a lot of
1078s	good players i think made it to the
1080s	finals so
1081s	i'm excited to see what they have in
1083s	store for us today yeah that is
1085s	absolutely right i am so looking forward
1087s	to just jumping right through to the
1088s	overview collins because during
1090s	rehearsal we were talking about your
1092s	outfit and i said okay i gotta dress up
1095s	to match you and then i realized i don't
1097s	have an outfit that good i just have
1099s	some of my casting semi-formal i guess
1102s	so everybody focus on colin's camera for
1105s	this day because we cannot waste that
1107s	lovely outfit collins we also have some
1110s	of the best players in the world joining
1113s	us of course it was 16 players yesterday
1115s	but we've trimmed them down only to
1118s	eight the two eight player lobbies have
1120s	already finished playing three games
1122s	each yesterday and now we are in the
1124s	final we've got the check format and
1126s	things are a bit different
1128s	yeah for the check format we'll have
1130s	players uh trying to get to 20 points as
1134s	quickly as possible so first place is
1136s	seven and eight places zero going down
1138s	by one and you wanna get to 20 points
1141s	and that'll put you in check
1144s	once you are in check you need to win
1146s	the lobby to end the tournament so until
1150s	you win the lobby in check the
1152s	tournament does not end so we can go as
1154s	long as 11 games we can go as quick as
1157s	four if
1158s	someone really wants to step it up but
1160s	uh it should be a fun tournament either
1162s	way and hopefully we have some really
1164s	good games from the players
1166s	that is right um the four and 11
1168s	scenarios are of course fraction of
1170s	percent likelihood those are the extreme
1173s	cases we are expecting around seven to
1176s	eight lobbies on average but who knows
1178s	colin even if we go all the way to 11
1180s	i'll be happy because it's just more
1182s	battlegrounds content yesterday was so
1185s	high stakes so many players just falling
1187s	half a point short or off by tie
1190s	breakers unfortunately not making it
1191s	through to today but we do have some of
1194s	the best of the best joining us still
1196s	here and they are playing for their
1199s	share of a fifty thousand dollar prize
1201s	pool ten thousand dollars to first place
1204s	and to everybody that is playing today
1207s	they already have a minimum of 2 000.
1210s	yeah it's really good that
1212s	they've already been rewarded just
1213s	making it to this point in the
1216s	tournament is so hard and so difficult
1218s	so really happy that as long as you make
1220s	it to the finals you are giving a prize
1221s	pool and now you're just trying to get
1223s	as much of the prize uh as possible you
1226s	know trying to claw your way up a point
1227s	down to a point so that you can get a
1229s	bigger share of the prize goal because
1231s	first place really a lot of money for a
1232s	lot of these players so really happy
1234s	that they've already done well enough to
1236s	get some some points
1239s	and in order to first reach the point
1241s	where you put the lobby in check of
1243s	course you need to get a total of 20
1245s	points and that is accumulated by of
1247s	course getting the best placements you
1249s	can every single time first place earn
1252s	seven points and then it's even
1254s	distribution of minus one point for
1256s	every less placement you get from there
1259s	and of course we have the ever so
1261s	important tiebreakers to keep in mind if
1263s	two players are knocked out in the same
1266s	round they will share those points
1268s	evenly whether it's three or four
1269s	players the points will be split and
1272s	this has happened many many times it's
1273s	just a very common outcome so it is
1276s	likely that we have several players
1278s	getting the lobby in check at the same
1279s	time
1280s	yeah i think uh it's pretty likely just
1283s	the way the
1285s	uh the games are going a lot of players
1287s	will just kind of
1288s	try to survive and if they don't survive
1292s	you know they get punished by the high
1293s	rollers people and these lobbies are
1295s	really good at um
1298s	being as strong as possible so if you
1300s	kind of don't get in that situation you
1302s	just take 20 from them and if three
1305s	people take 20 they all die at the same
1307s	time and ties are pretty common
1309s	and taking a look at proceedings from
1311s	yesterday that first game from lobby a
1313s	was taken down by beaufort but
1316s	perhaps we can use his experience as a
1319s	tale of warning to everybody just
1321s	because you win your first lobby does
1323s	not mean you're in a safe enough
1325s	position to qualify through from there
1327s	as uh beaufort unfortunately just barely
1330s	didn't make it towards the end though
1332s	but we did have the more consistent
1334s	players throughout all three games being
1335s	heavily rewarded dappy taking down um
1338s	the second game also having a good
1341s	placement in the first and third one was
1343s	a shoe-in to make it through to today
1345s	but in the third game it was waterloo
1348s	that reigns supreme here with that
1350s	amazing um
1352s	pick of vulgin over shutter walk
1354s	yeah i think you saw a lot of style
1356s	differences between a lot of the players
1359s	especially the more consistent ones they
1360s	have their own style and they stick to
1362s	it even though
1364s	you might be as a character just
1365s	watching be like i don't agree with this
1367s	they are very confident with what
1369s	they're doing and that's why they can
1371s	play time after time do well game after
1374s	game series after series tournament
1375s	after tournament you just gotta respect
1377s	that they know what they're doing even
1379s	though it might not be the most obvious
1381s	player the most even
1383s	logical play they have their own game
1386s	plan in mind and they're going to stick
1388s	to that because that's what's given them
1390s	the results they have so far
1392s	right and moving on to lobby b yesterday
1396s	we did have uh caramon taking a very
1398s	convincing victory with maya followed up
1400s	by the super memorable kid on the reno
1403s	getting that triple mama sorry golden
1406s	mama bear and not really taking any
1408s	losses from that point showcasing just
1410s	how powerful a timely spike can be and
1413s	then the final game of the day was one
1415s	of my favorites collins because there
1417s	were so many crucial decisions here and
1420s	we finally got to see pirates in action
1423s	um even though it's not the easiest meta
1425s	to play hogger
1427s	yeah pirates are definitely a fun
1430s	meta
1431s	uh fun composition to play just being
1434s	able to have infinite goals try to buy
1436s	everything you want and just like create
1438s	the situation right now it's it can be
1440s	harder to do because
1442s	every action will be a bit of a delay
1444s	you won't get as big of pirates as you
1446s	can but you can see in that
1448s	last game even though he was playing a
1451s	little bit slower than maybe he wanted
1452s	to at the end of the day his minions
1455s	were just bigger than everything else
1456s	regardless so even though it might not
1459s	be
1460s	the
1460s	most
1462s	optimal you know game plan if you want
1464s	to just utilize all your time you end up
1466s	just having a stronger board just
1467s	because having infinite money even if
1469s	you have half the time is still way
1471s	better than anything else you could do
1472s	in the game so uh really fun to see that
1476s	uh
1477s	great to see zizi showcasing that he can
1479s	still go out with a bang even though he
1481s	didn't qualify through to today that was
1483s	more about goddammit finishing in second
1485s	and getting that a bare minimum amount
1487s	of points to qualify he just narrowly
1490s	beat xuan only on tiebreakers in order
1493s	to make it through to today but another
1495s	highlight from yesterday collins or
1496s	perhaps several highlights were the many
1499s	minions that we got to reveal on top of
1501s	the new hero and the reveals don't stop
1503s	today we have a total of four new
1505s	goodies to reveal to the public here and
1507s	the first one is coming up very very
1509s	soon what do we have in store for us
1513s	i'm really excited to see what we have
1514s	here ooh
1515s	and tremendous i am so bad with this
1520s	uh travedies i'm just gonna go ahead and
1522s	guess that's how it's pronounced like
1524s	our committees blah blah whenever this
1526s	attacks deal three damage to the target
1528s	and its neighbors ooh
1531s	so it's kind of like pyro's position but
1534s	yeah but with a cleave sort of
1536s	interaction and it's only when itself is
1539s	attacking
1541s	this makes me wonder if
1543s	preston's like being replaced right
1544s	because this kind of just feels like the
1546s	exact same card except it doesn't have
1549s	uh it doesn't have that clear synergy
1551s	with other dragons but it kind of
1553s	fulfills a similar role so um there's
1556s	just
1557s	like more than the card itself it makes
1559s	me think oh is pressure being removed
1560s	because i've been very adamant about
1562s	that i don't like this card so
1565s	i i would love to see if they are if
1567s	this is going to be the replacement for
1569s	preston this is definitely a um a less
1572s	toxic variance right you can't give all
1575s	of your dragons immediate access to
1578s	divine shield removal right george is
1580s	like
1581s	dancing right now right oh wow i'm not
1584s	gonna cry so this is pretty interesting
1587s	i don't think
1588s	it's going to be like a broken card
1591s	essentially but it is a pretty
1593s	good tech option and it is also good
1595s	stats just on four so i do think this
1597s	card will be played if you're gonna play
1599s	dragons right you could put this first
1601s	to deal with uh
1604s	to deal with cleaves because it does
1605s	deal three to the minion and the
1608s	neighbor so it's kind of like a mini
1609s	cleave so
1610s	that has some power but it's not going
1613s	to be as oppressive as prester was i
1615s	think in the game yeah i'd agree i think
1617s	it's better just to buy as a tier 4
1620s	minion compared to presser if you don't
1621s	already have this set up right but it
1623s	also has similarity suppressor in that
1625s	it can be a tech option in the late game
1627s	obviously not as oppressive like you
1629s	said but you know for example if it
1631s	turns into a situation where your
1632s	opponent is playing acolyte and you know
1634s	about it then that's something that can
1636s	clear multiple acolytes at once if
1638s	they're next to each other the three
1640s	attack or sorry three damage break point
1642s	is a pretty interesting one but it's
1644s	still able to take off shields from
1646s	multiple um targets if things are too
1649s	many things are taunted and they're next
1650s	to each other i'm very excited to see
1652s	how etramedes will affect the late game
1655s	that is only our first reveal of four
1658s	throughout the day something interesting
1660s	about that card is it kind of
1662s	uh messes with leroy because you kind of
1664s	saw in one of the games we had
1667s	uh yesterday where the one of the
1669s	players had a huge cleave and then oh it
1671s	cleaved the leroy so it wasn't able to
1673s	use the winfrey aspect you could play
1675s	that in front and just kind of have that
1677s	as like oh i'll deal with the leroy if
1679s	they're trying to tuck against your
1680s	cleaves so if you know that your
1682s	opponent knows that you have a cleave
1684s	you could tuck this in to kind of
1685s	counter their tech of the leroy and
1688s	outplay their outplay so that's one
1691s	thought about the car i do think the
1692s	card is more of a like a good four drop
1695s	instead of like a crazy tech card but
1697s	there are some tech options with this as
1699s	well once again happy to have you here
1701s	collins because i got to have a casting
1703s	stream and a theory crafting stream all
1706s	at once as well
1707s	but we are getting back into the
1709s	tournament of course we do have these
1711s	eight players in our final lobby dappy
1715s	waterloo gohan oleash kid karamon
1717s	valeera and goddammit immediately
1720s	jumping out to me is very strong
1722s	representation from cnn
1726s	and then waterloo informally also part
1728s	of cnn that is just insane that half our
1731s	finals is made up of chinese players
1734s	yeah they really got mad and they they
1735s	wanted to showcase uh the other regions
1738s	this time and they're doing a really
1739s	good job uh there is a really good
1742s	representation i think also from europe
1744s	as well you're right with early action
1746s	and dumb it there two out of the eight
1748s	is also pretty impressive so
1750s	pretty cool
1751s	yeah and then we've got dapi and karamon
1754s	rounding out apac
1756s	any hot takes collins any predictions
1758s	who's going to take it
1760s	i remember saying yesterday i would not
1762s	do that in cursed them because i've i've
1765s	seen quite a bit of casters just like i
1767s	like this player and then that player
1769s	immediately loses so i'm not going to do
1771s	that to them here i think the best
1773s	player will win
1775s	and if that's also my favorite player
1777s	well
1778s	i'm just good
1779s	i'm guessing sorry
1781s	very diplomatic answer to match your
1783s	formal outfit here collins i think one
1785s	thing we can note without cursing anyone
1788s	is yesterday we did have two separate
1790s	lobbies right where you in particular
1792s	noted a difference in overall style
1794s	among the two lobbies like i think lobby
1797s	a had more of an emphasis on tempo based
1799s	players and then lobby b leaned some of
1801s	the greedier players and now we've got a
1803s	mix of both of them and we get to see
1805s	how our players adapt to each other and
1807s	i'm super excited if players are gonna
1810s	continue to opt for something like what
1812s	we saw from vallira of the turn one on
1814s	reno um hero powering the raft weaver
1817s	and playing for a lot of tempo is that
1819s	informed by the players in their lobby
1821s	or is it more dictated by what is the
1824s	point in the tournament they're at
1825s	because we're not going to see turn one
1827s	hero power rath weaver if somebody has a
1829s	lobby in check already
1831s	i
1832s	i do think you're going to see a mix of
1834s	both right i think there's a good mix of
1836s	uh control safe players and a good mix
1839s	of high role players what tends to
1840s	happen when you have both of them in is
1842s	that the hyrule players will still go
1844s	hyrule but what will happen is
1847s	like
1848s	one of the high role players will win
1850s	and then two to four will be safe
1852s	players
1853s	essentially so we'll see if that oh my
1856s	god there's a shutter walk button
1858s	i gotta do this to us bob there's no
1860s	beasts again with this shutter
1862s	i actually think shutter walks playable
1864s	i i he might take zarilla here if if a
1867s	dummy uh there might take the zarella
1869s	just because it's safer and has a has a
1872s	really good uh curve yeah so ends up
1874s	taking gazelle i do think that shutter
1876s	rock is playable it's just significantly
1877s	more riskier if you don't have the alley
1879s	cap potential at all right
1882s	tough to get the triples obviously you
1884s	still have a good point in that with the
1886s	pirates and naga you still have good
1888s	engines with your battlecry like as we
1890s	can see here the two minions on the left
1892s	really benefit from the shutter walk
1894s	hero power uh but that is still not
1897s	guaranteed triple so i like this real
1899s	thing can you take the uh uh
1902s	the money and then the hero power turn
1903s	one just to get to one goal i mean it
1905s	doesn't do anything but
1907s	i haven't seen a master wouldn't do that
1909s	and it does seem interesting uh the
1912s	vulgar and hero power doesn't really do
1913s	too much even making a 2-2 isn't
1916s	necessarily stronger than a 3-3
1918s	especially against you're against
1920s	another vulgen right like they're most
1921s	likely gonna have three three health on
1923s	their minions so i'd probably just do
1925s	nothing here
1927s	um
1928s	sorry that wasn't finley picking when
1930s	and then picking up
1935s	so
1936s	this is an overall for the rest of the
1938s	game a second vulgen in the lobby which
1941s	is pretty interesting on the interplay
1944s	that we'll get to see there obviously
1945s	with elementals in you're happy with
1947s	bablette at the minimum uh but we also
1950s	have mechs so there's potential to make
1952s	a big cleave later on yeah i like the
1954s	vulcan pick yeah over the other two that
1957s	i'm thinking about it there i was just
1958s	re-evaluating but yeah the vulgin pick
1960s	makes a ton of sense uh just taking a
1962s	look at the heroes we have i think the
1965s	weirdest one or the most like
1966s	interesting is the rocking issue i think
1968s	that hero
1970s	isn't very strong like that's gonna be
1973s	my take and i would almost
1976s	say there's almost always three other
1978s	options at least one of them better than
1979s	a rocking issue but sometimes uh if
1982s	you're a safe player that is a pick you
1984s	can pick because it does have the 10
1985s	health and if mexican which they are you
1988s	can hero power deflectors and just like
1990s	salvage the game through that but
1992s	generally that's the one that jumps out
1994s	to be as being the weirdest pick in the
1995s	lobby
1996s	we also have the death speaker black
1998s	thorn though which is i want to say also
2000s	unconventional but not terrible those
2002s	blood gems if you are able to
2005s	get to three early and find an early
2007s	bristleback brute that is an awesome way
2010s	to leverage that hero power into big
2012s	stats but we'll see here avalira what
2014s	does want to go for the three on three
2016s	because he could take the tough task
2018s	instead okay
2020s	i i do like the tough test here and
2022s	actually think this is a pretty good
2024s	hero maybe under valued in my opinion
2027s	where um the gems actually do a lot of
2030s	work uh especially what noggers are and
2032s	i think if quillboard nagas i mean
2034s	krogers have to be in but if nag is iron
2036s	you also open up getting like the 4-2
2038s	and then you can buff that reliably and
2042s	just buffing up a lava lurker and then
2043s	giving it health is is really powerful
2045s	so i actually think if nagas are in
2048s	blackburn also jumps up in value so i
2049s	don't hate this pick here
2051s	we are seeing sort of the interplay of
2053s	spellcraft with vol'jin you can turn
2055s	that uh temporary buff from spellcraft
2058s	into permanent stats if you swap them
2061s	and so that is an additional reason i
2064s	suppose for going for bulge in here
2065s	waterloo did go for standard curve but
2068s	he also froze the last shop which had
2070s	mostly one drop minions even though he
2072s	had the coin because there was
2074s	sellamental and the pirate didn't end up
2076s	getting them though interesting
2079s	double gambler though is pretty pretty
2081s	good definitely a lot of
2084s	options with gambler since you can just
2086s	hold that until you find something you
2088s	want it looks like they're
2090s	he's valuing the pair but there's a good
2091s	chance he just locks
2093s	blocks that as well so yeah just most
2096s	likely gonna lock the
2098s	gambler next turn as well and then just
2100s	take that
2101s	uh the turn afterwards
2103s	here we have mutanus
2106s	uh mutanus with nagas is also very
2108s	abusable because you just eat whatever
2110s	you buff with the
2112s	with the spellcraft unit so yeah it has
2114s	a huge 1710 he probably didn't want all
2117s	of his buffs to hit the same minion but
2120s	it's still pretty good it's it's a safe
2122s	minion it'll keep him somewhat healthy
2124s	as long as the fights are
2127s	going his way
2128s	yeah it's a great start especially with
2129s	the two pair for dappy um at some point
2132s	he can narrow his board if he hits the
2134s	triples and then try and isolate the
2138s	munch of the mutanus onto a divine
2139s	shield later on that could work out in
2142s	his favor mechs are in here and i always
2144s	like uh mutants a bit better when mechs
2146s	are in because lots of divine shield
2148s	targets to benefit
2150s	yeah it's really looking at the uh
2154s	the zarella the zero is in a pretty good
2156s	spot right since uh
2158s	he has a ton of pairs and he's going to
2160s	do a lot so yeah you could yeah you can
2163s	see here now right very very solid spot
2166s	uh this is exactly i think what you want
2168s	to be doing with zarella you stay on one
2169s	for
2170s	a long time pretty much turn
2173s	four turn five and you try to get as
2175s	many pairs as possible and then you just
2177s	start leveling leveling and
2180s	since your hero power costs two you can
2182s	level sell a minion hero power a better
2184s	minion in your shop so normally you want
2187s	to have the pairs in the shop so you can
2188s	just
2189s	swap them out but if you don't you can
2191s	just replace it with like maybe a spawn
2193s	or maybe a mug or something like that
2195s	and just keep swapping trying to get
2196s	better stats while you're leveling and
2198s	hopefully you hit a triple at some point
2199s	you get an early five to early six and
2201s	you go from there
2202s	yeah goddammit's the only player we've
2204s	seen so far with the guaranteed triple
2206s	that we saw so um that is a spike that
2209s	we need to look out for but meanwhile
2211s	everybody playing for decent tempo here
2213s	caramon hits a brute of his own but
2216s	doesn't go for it i'm actually surprised
2218s	to see that he didn't sell and buy the
2220s	brood and just play a gem on it it would
2221s	also trigger his profit of the boar so
2223s	he could use the other gem on top tusk
2225s	but values the yashiraj hero power
2228s	instead
2229s	yeah it looks like he's prioritizing
2232s	just having
2233s	economy over having the best tempo
2235s	possible because i do agree right if you
2237s	want to
2238s	prioritize tempo you would go for the
2241s	brood the problem with that is you do
2243s	have to sell an extra minion right so
2244s	you're going to be playing down a unit
2246s	then if you wanted level and hero power
2247s	to turn after now you're just making
2249s	things harder for yourself so it's more
2252s	unfortunate that he didn't get the brood
2253s	early enough that he could commit to it
2256s	and not feel like he couldn't and level
2258s	yeah
2259s	did freeze though i wonder if he froze
2261s	for the brood itself but moving over to
2264s	dapi here
2266s	these are not particularly synergistic
2268s	with his board state but i think the
2270s	nasa matron still looks decent yeah nest
2272s	matron is pretty much
2275s	always an option just because
2278s	if you get one card that can do so much
2280s	for you you don't necessarily need to
2282s	have a synergistic board with nest
2284s	matron if this car just says get a free
2286s	coin
2287s	uh every oh no taking the green spot
2290s	instead so the only reason i would think
2293s	you would take the green spot over the
2294s	nest merchant is if you're gonna eat it
2296s	instead but uh looks like he's just
2298s	gonna buy
2300s	and eat something else so
2303s	it it's an early commitment to divine
2305s	shields uh with this play which
2308s	i guess with mutanus is fine right
2310s	beauty is a very
2311s	divine shield-centric hero so as soon as
2314s	you find one you can use that
2316s	speaking of commitment to divine shields
2318s	we have kid with the gem splitter found
2321s	this is a great early start for
2322s	rakanishu
2323s	he also has a clean play next turn of
2326s	level buy and hero power hero power
2328s	gonna give plus four plus four by that
2330s	point and um
2332s	most of the time unless he gets very
2333s	unlucky he'll get another gem from the
2335s	splitter off of the combat so he can
2338s	continue to buff that brute and stay
2340s	healthy
2341s	yeah i think this is exactly what you
2342s	need to be looking for if you're playing
2345s	this hero i don't think this is a hero
2347s	where you wanna
2349s	play greedy and you wanna say oh i'll
2351s	try to high roll a six drop and then
2353s	i'll make my direction i think here you
2355s	just gotta you know you gotta take
2357s	any option you got and if if they give
2359s	you a deflector you take it and you're
2360s	just sling on mex because
2362s	the longer you take the more damage you
2365s	deal and you just don't have enough time
2367s	to greed uh like with other heroes right
2371s	you can't really beat the zarella and
2373s	say oh i'll just level the five and then
2375s	take my triple you just have to say hey
2377s	i got a deflector and a gel splitter
2380s	okay i'm cobor mex i full commitment
2383s	here and i think he will just
2385s	level by hero power
2387s	oh i was gonna ask do you think he would
2388s	buy the pajama or the pup bot though
2390s	because i was looking at papa to be
2392s	honest even though it's a one drop it's
2393s	another divine shield minion that has
2396s	synergy with the splitter but takes the
2398s	avenge minion instead
2401s	so
2402s	i do think the pop-up would be
2404s	reasonable here right because it it
2406s	morph
2407s	it's the style he's going for it right
2410s	if you take the
2411s	uh
2412s	the popeye right you i don't know divine
2414s	should you add a
2415s	um
2416s	a gem as well to your hand but it seems
2419s	that he just wants to try to get a good
2422s	spellcraft unit unfortunately there's
2424s	not too many like
2427s	important spellcrafts i think on four
2430s	there's only the plus eight and the wind
2432s	fury which you don't really need on
2434s	deflecto
2435s	uh either way right his deflector is
2437s	pretty huge so pretty interesting i
2439s	think the the pop-up makes more sense
2441s	but pashmina like is just like you get
2443s	some synergy maybe you open up something
2445s	else and you move away
2447s	oh waterloo's hit the triple into
2449s	athissa this is the dream he is going to
2453s	start consuming uh sorry swapping
2455s	minions as well i keep confusing the
2457s	vulgen and the mutant his hero power and
2460s	converting all of those spellcrafts into
2462s	permanent buffs that is such a good
2464s	setup i think he's a favorite to take
2466s	the lobby down but we do have quite a
2468s	few players with um gem setups uh we
2471s	just briefly glanced at oleash there who
2474s	had the agam already and uh had the jump
2477s	splitter in hand which wasn't you know
2480s	playable that turn because of no divine
2481s	shields but he had the golden road bar
2483s	which gives him at least two gems per
2485s	turn because of that ghoul yeah you can
2487s	see two players actually three players
2489s	now are on five so we had the zarella
2492s	which was gonna get a six so probably
2493s	has a six by now and then we had
2495s	waterloo who tripled into the
2497s	uh the athisa so really good start from
2500s	there gohan
2501s	uh also what on the vuljin was trying to
2504s	triple but i don't think he had the
2505s	triple yet so we'll see now a turn later
2508s	oleach also going for the six you can
2510s	see the hyrule players are going high
2512s	row right they are going for the sixes
2514s	they're not gonna bunker down like we
2516s	saw in the first lobby they're all
2517s	looking for tis they're all looking for
2519s	tenders and it looks like everyone's
2520s	getting the hits that they want here
2523s	this is a tough choice for oleash though
2525s	because is it though i mean oh sorry
2527s	he has
2528s	an ago right it's it's actually pretty
2532s	powerful here yeah sorry i thought he
2534s	had more than one naga but you're
2536s	absolutely right this is completely a
2538s	quillboard direction however the
2540s	minion types that are not quillboard are
2542s	not particularly good like they don't
2545s	have divine shield or useful keywords on
2548s	them so i wonder how long he's going to
2550s	actually lean into menagerie here or if
2552s	he should shift to quillboard overall
2555s	if he does go double again i think he
2558s	could commit to it normally i do like
2561s	darkgate's full cold boar as long as
2563s	miller locks are out with the which they
2565s	are since you can uh really
2568s	uh abuse the
2570s	the four the four drop taunt crowbar
2572s	right it gets so many stats uh with that
2575s	but it looks like he's deciding between
2577s	the brand and the agum yeah i'm gonna go
2578s	for brand again which i think is just as
2580s	powerful as long as you get the right
2582s	hits there
2583s	yeah bran is so powerful when you have
2585s	dark days elder cause you can spend way
2586s	more than 10 gold in a turn with that um
2589s	it's not like the ideal lobby for brand
2591s	because murlocs are out dragons are out
2593s	so you don't have access to mirazon and
2595s	primalfin to essentially print money for
2598s	you and print money you can spend on
2599s	dark days but you still have elementals
2602s	for tavern tempest and you still have
2604s	like as usual reef explorer no matter
2606s	what lobby type so the brand can get a
2608s	lot of work done on top of just any
2611s	other battle cry i will say this is such
2613s	a greedy play from oleus though like he
2615s	just said i'm not gonna play his his
2618s	gems because he wants a better again
2619s	target or like an agon setup right
2621s	because his board for agap isn't super
2624s	premium so he's just like you know what
2626s	i'll take the loss and now next turn
2628s	i'll have a better board for it
2630s	whoa splitters on so many different
2633s	boards i think valeria is committing to
2635s	staying down to four here though which
2637s	makes sense when you have the
2639s	ground shaker already just trying to
2641s	triple the splitter or the ground shaker
2643s	and just go from there is a very
2645s	consistent way of hitting top four in my
2647s	opinion yeah
2649s	he's looking he's
2651s	deciding if he wants the three six he
2653s	could also take the five six there too
2655s	since he's going to be pumping
2657s	um
2659s	quillboards right he's gonna be pumping
2661s	the ground shaker but i do think just
2663s	rolling it down trying to get the
2664s	triples more important than any of the
2666s	two
2667s	uh options he could have by bought that
2669s	turn
2671s	it looks like at some point dumbed took
2673s	uh the nosy looter which i don't know if
2676s	it's gotten a prop for him yet probably
2678s	not because there's no other six drops
2680s	it has it he has another nosey in his
2682s	hand
2683s	oh okay my bad you're absolutely right
2685s	he probably got the two six trip uh pair
2689s	there and then just found another nosey
2691s	which is not what he wants honestly yeah
2693s	i don't think he's super happy about
2694s	this game so far he had a really good
2697s	setup and uh getting nosy in the hyrule
2699s	lobby isn't super premium and now he's
2702s	just trying to do the best he can he
2704s	wants to triple uh
2706s	one of his pirates there this turn and
2708s	then maybe go from there
2710s	yeah it's obviously not a super strong
2713s	board state but it is just a big pile of
2715s	stats and he will never die this turn
2717s	because he's above damage cap if only
2719s	barely and if he gets a gold and nosy
2722s	looter like the other one would be ideal
2724s	right because the other one just hit the
2725s	board this turn i don't know if the the
2727s	first one is already on its way to
2729s	giving him another golden card but we'll
2731s	see don't worry he knows health is just
2734s	a resource he can take
2736s	15 here it's fine
2738s	oh golden hogger as well wow
2741s	wait i want to stay on dummit's
2742s	perspective how is he going to leverage
2744s	this because obviously he has a ton of
2746s	value but
2748s	is it going to be enough time
2751s	yeah it's a bit scary two players are on
2754s	one right now and
2755s	uh
2757s	he does have the golden hoggers so will
2759s	he have enough time he's also against
2761s	the clock as well right because there's
2763s	a bit delay and really the first turn is
2766s	one of the most important turns when
2767s	you're playing this a lot of people get
2769s	scared of
2770s	transitioning to this composition
2771s	because you don't have enough you don't
2774s	have a lot of time to make it but we'll
2776s	see if uh dumbet can
2778s	get all the pieces he needs he does find
2780s	a triple here insta triple on the salty
2783s	looter which is pretty good one in terms
2785s	of scaling if he is committing to fully
2788s	hogger he'd love to see a peggy at some
2789s	point and he'd love to have like five
2792s	times as much time as he does here but
2795s	that is not to be eliza though will help
2797s	him stabilize
2798s	yeah he's still keeping the uh
2802s	the mech though which is pretty
2803s	interesting exactly what you were
2805s	looking for at least for now there's
2807s	still a lot more to be done this turn
2809s	just
2810s	down a minion noses for everyone
2814s	it's actually crazy how much gold you
2816s	have right we're still just watching him
2818s	and it's like he still has like
2820s	10 more gold to use if he wants to which
2823s	is pretty pretty insane
2825s	yeah manages to squeeze in the hero
2826s	power as well with zarella if you hero
2829s	power a pirate you obviously don't get
2830s	the hogger benefit so i like that he
2832s	found a different target to use it
2835s	i like what he's doing here
2839s	and then baron
2842s	don't play the baron okay okay this is
2844s	still good i think he's still extremely
2846s	strong
2847s	just insane how much he popped off and
2850s	how much stronger he got in the space of
2852s	one turn is it going to be enough here
2854s	that's a giant deflector but it's really
2856s	the only minion worth mentioning on this
2858s	rakhine issue board
2859s	yeah so this is kind of my issue right
2862s	with rock an issue you don't have the
2865s	you have that one game plan and it looks
2867s	like he tried to do it but he he ended
2869s	up taunting that deflector and he
2871s	couldn't find like a second deflector
2872s	right that's that's really what you want
2874s	to
2875s	find in this composition the second
2876s	deflector they could play double
2877s	deflector and have a bunch of recess he
2879s	does have that one deflector and it's
2881s	taunted and it has shields in the resets
2883s	afterwards but
2885s	it's only one minion and one minion
2887s	really it can only do so much and it
2889s	looks like it won't be enough to
2891s	overcome this huge uh
2893s	eliza composition that dummy made that's
2897s	right looks like kid is going to be our
2898s	first casualty of the day goddammit
2901s	stays alive another turn on one health
2904s	and um i apologize to anybody that wants
2906s	to see the rest of the players because
2908s	we have the chance to watch apm pirates
2910s	i just want to stay on this i actually
2912s	don't think he's going to commit apm
2913s	pirates i think he's gonna go more full
2915s	eliza uh if he can set it up he does
2918s	have two skellies and a baron and look
2920s	there's a captain
2922s	as well so i do think there's a high
2924s	chance he just commits because as long
2926s	as you can get this eliza to be golden i
2929s	just think it's gonna be significantly
2932s	stronger in most cases than
2934s	trying to do the fancy let me spend you
2937s	know
2938s	20 minutes trying to get this perfect
2940s	uh pirate setup all right lorenda has
2943s	deemed something more important worth
2945s	seeing and truly this is an impressive
2947s	board from waterloo he's managed to fit
2950s	a faux reaper here as well which is very
2952s	easy to set up as vol'jin especially
2954s	with the naga and the spellcraft you can
2956s	convert those temporary buffs into
2958s	permanent and he can put wind fury on
2960s	that as well just a very fearsome board
2963s	yeah i mean a lot of people
2965s	i think have hit what they're looking
2967s	for this is a lot a lot more stronger
2970s	boards than we saw yesterday might be
2973s	due to like people more the players that
2975s	are here are the ones that did well in
2978s	the previous day so maybe they're just
2980s	more comfortable playing in this
2981s	particular meta but you can see a lot of
2983s	them trying to hire a lot of them trying
2985s	to find exactly what they they need to
2986s	do
2988s	oh you are right goddammit just the fact
2990s	that there is a brief moment of
2991s	hesitation clues me into the fact that
2993s	he's not full apm pirates here just
2995s	figuring out how to make the eliza
2998s	golden proc as likely as possible
3000s	because it's so tricky because uh
3003s	playing tony here you can say it's a bit
3005s	greedy but oh okay okay it goes for the
3006s	mounted queen because yeah the baron
3010s	could represent more stats against
3012s	certain bore states but sometimes having
3014s	a poison is more important against this
3016s	type of board though i would argue that
3018s	baron probably makes more sense
3020s	yeah but i mean sometimes you
3022s	don't exactly know where your opponent's
3024s	running if he doesn't know oh the
3026s	opponent has a bunch of
3028s	divine shields because if he looks he
3030s	should see quillboards right but when
3032s	you assume quillboards you don't assume
3034s	oh it's divine's two divine shield mechs
3037s	and then
3038s	two more divine shield crowbars usually
3041s	when people are running a ton of
3042s	crowbars it ends up being the
3045s	the taunt quillboard and like uh
3047s	dark gays and and stuff like that they
3050s	don't have divine is this tie-able i
3052s	thought goddammit was super dead but if
3054s	he just goes left no okay okay that's
3057s	still fine it's still fine okay yeah
3058s	okay
3059s	wow
3060s	huge stabilization there
3063s	that that's why i would say like the
3065s	eliza varian is better because you look
3067s	at this and you're like oh dumb it lost
3069s	but
3070s	eliza scalia eliza's is quite strong if
3073s	you don't particularly counter it if you
3074s	don't have that alley cat or acolyte to
3077s	counter it or you don't zap anything
3079s	like if all the
3080s	the skellies get to attack and your
3082s	pirates afterwards also get to attack
3084s	you get so many buffs especially once
3085s	the tony makes the eliza golden so uh
3088s	pretty not too shocked to see him
3090s	survive there
3092s	uh huge for olyash that he finds an ice
3094s	block and is facing the ghost that's
3096s	kind of like saying you have two free
3097s	turns to do whatever you like um he
3099s	could level okay he does level up to six
3101s	here and that gives him so much more
3104s	leeway to set up a comp that can
3106s	actually take down waterloo who is i
3109s	would say the terror of the lobby right
3111s	now with that huge windfury cleave um
3114s	i'm just going to assume it's
3115s	permanently windfury at this point he
3117s	can always find a wave rider um
3120s	oh two of them another one yeah
3123s	that's a big deal i i think a lot of
3126s	people are gonna struggle to deal with
3128s	uh waterloo's comp he can also put
3130s	divine shield on him at some point too
3132s	so you have two divine shields probably
3134s	with windfury and cleave
3137s	it just ruins a lot of people's comps so
3140s	yeah
3140s	tough stuff there waterloo's in a great
3142s	position
3144s	lyra does have this leroy though which
3146s	as we know can punish cleaves a little
3149s	bit obviously he doesn't know that
3151s	that's what's coming to him and i also
3153s	doesn't know where it's taught it yeah
3155s	and i don't know if waterloo ended up
3156s	with a cleave first right so the leroy
3159s	might die before it even uh can
3162s	potentially get hit by a faux reaper
3165s	a lot of shields though maybe he loves
3168s	maybe
3170s	it's not looking
3171s	super hot honestly yeah especially with
3173s	that uh going there just two cleaves
3176s	double cleave is just so strong of a
3178s	thing to do on your board uh because
3182s	like even if one cleave messes up most
3184s	of the time the second complete cleans
3185s	up and then you're like
3188s	no yeah
3190s	missing the reset on the deflector is
3192s	probably the final nail in the coffin
3194s	here for valera that's a really rough
3197s	one because generally
3199s	like just a ground shaker with that many
3201s	shields is a consistent way of making
3203s	top four but not quite in these lobbies
3205s	they are so heavily contested and while
3208s	we weren't looking valeera and goddammit
3211s	have also died here a while ago gohan
3214s	and
3215s	karamon i don't think we even noticed we
3217s	only saw kid died but so many people
3220s	have fallen victim to i can only assume
3223s	waterloo
3224s	yeah i mean
3226s	you can really tell this is more of
3228s	high roll players during their thing so
3231s	many people went for sixes so many
3232s	people got the sixes they were looking
3234s	forward to and you can just say oh yeah
3237s	um if you don't contest with the high
3240s	rollers you'll just get blown out by
3242s	them in the mid and like in the mid to
3244s	late game like they are now so even
3246s	though normally right that black thorn
3248s	will do well it could top two or even
3250s	you know maybe not win but do do do a
3253s	lot of damage here once you start
3254s	fighting the high rollers which were you
3257s	know only edge and waterloo and even god
3260s	dumb at at times you just start getting
3262s	blown out
3263s	elias sitting on the ice block i think
3266s	is a shoe-in for at least second place
3268s	um
3269s	and his board isn't super vulnerable to
3272s	cleave right the first cleave can kill
3274s	everything i think except the agam here
3277s	but the second cleave isn't large enough
3279s	last time we saw it at least to
3281s	uh pick off multiple minions here and
3283s	oleash is also going to play down an
3284s	acolyte to potentially be stronger
3286s	against the cleave he's done a great job
3288s	of transitioning from like oh he didn't
3292s	quite transition i should say but he
3294s	found the right balance of number of
3295s	quillboard and number of different
3297s	minion types to play to still leverage
3299s	that argument
3300s	yeah
3301s	what uh oleach is actually looking for
3304s	probably is a necro light so that's one
3306s	of the key
3308s	pieces of
3309s	a real cobra composition with dark gaze
3312s	dark gaze gives everything blood gems
3314s	and what you do is you try to find the
3317s	cleave so most likely you look for a
3321s	uh buster or not buster but a for reaper
3323s	of your own and then you you necro light
3326s	all of your yeah your blood gems onto
3329s	that one buster and then you end up
3331s	having like a hundred attack for reaper
3333s	and usually that's good enough to attack
3336s	twice maybe three times and solo their
3338s	board so that's the one key thing that
3340s	he's actually looking for
3343s	waterloo takes the expected victory here
3346s	but doesn't proc the ice block from
3348s	oleash so i think oleash is
3350s	guaranteed at least top two from this
3352s	point um dappy i don't know if he can
3355s	stand up to this it's been a while since
3356s	we saw his board
3358s	well
3359s	all daphi needs to do is not get one
3361s	shot so not take 23
3364s	uh
3365s	would be the if he can beat only that's
3367s	right that's so there there are a couple
3369s	caveats he used to be over the edge and
3371s	then he needs to survive
3372s	uh
3373s	from waterloo and his board is actually
3375s	not that bad
3377s	uh it has
3378s	well
3380s	it's not it's not amazing though but
3383s	it's not the worst if if he gets the
3385s	right hits he can definitely survive
3387s	here especially against olya oleus
3389s	doesn't have the cleave yet so it's not
3391s	as big of a punish the one issue is like
3393s	he needs to find maybe a leroy if he had
3395s	a leroy here
3396s	uh he'd be in a better spot but without
3399s	it he just doesn't have enough
3401s	minions that have threats
3404s	that greece bot is crazy 152 attack i
3407s	can only imagine he's been using these
3408s	yield bound archer spellcraft every
3410s	single turn and then eating it and then
3412s	most of them just landed on the green
3413s	spot
3415s	i mean like look at
3417s	it just
3419s	that's unfortunate honestly i think
3422s	that's like the worst hit he wants to
3424s	hit it on almost anything else because
3426s	it doesn't there's nothing on in in
3428s	anyone's board that has 150 attack let
3431s	alone 170 yeah so that's almost like
3434s	wasted stats there
3435s	yeah he would much rather distribute
3437s	some of those unto his other divine
3439s	shield minions especially when he sees
3442s	the shape of odysseus board which is
3445s	evenly distributed stats i think just
3447s	the algum slightly bigger than the rest
3449s	of them
3450s	yeah this actually where that stat
3452s	swapper would be really good there right
3454s	if you could turn that
3455s	172 90 90 health to 90 attack and 172
3459s	health that's significantly better so
3461s	uh maybe we'll see more uses for that
3464s	card once it comes out oh cookie chemist
3466s	already theory crafting
3469s	yeah he found the he felt so he found
3471s	the phone he just hasn't found the
3473s	necrolight so that's the one thing he's
3475s	looking for if he can hit the necrolight
3477s	then i think he actually has a chance to
3479s	even take out a waterloo there but until
3482s	he hits that he's just not gonna have a
3484s	big enough cleave to do too much damage
3486s	right it's just picking off divine
3488s	shields here which is still a pretty
3490s	relevant did decent work and the agam
3492s	will be big enough here no matter what
3494s	happens to make sure that olyash takes a
3496s	victory his ice block will remain intact
3499s	the question is who is getting the ghost
3501s	from this point most likely that be
3503s	right
3504s	it should be
3505s	[Music]
3507s	oh yeah
3508s	oh because he faced waterloo right
3510s	before it oh yeah my bad my bad yeah
3513s	okay
3517s	yeah there there he goes
3518s	okay so
3520s	time to look for an acro lights
3522s	there is a greed line to take the other
3525s	for a reaper and just say i will find
3526s	two necro lights but
3529s	the likelihood isn't like super duper
3531s	high so i don't mind not doing that also
3533s	worth noting that after this we are
3536s	entering another prize turn turn 16 for
3538s	olyash um is there any prize that could
3541s	significantly help his odds versus
3543s	waterloo uh divine shield wind fury um
3547s	on a cleave right if he necrolites like
3549s	cleave the mine should win three uh that
3551s	could end up
3553s	destroying his whole board essentially
3555s	right if
3556s	you necro lag you have 150 attack leaves
3559s	and your divine should win for you put
3560s	it first and it hits the right side here
3563s	it just blows up all of them instantly
3565s	and then you proc the you kill the other
3568s	faux reaper and you proc the shield
3570s	right so if he hits that then he's in a
3572s	really good place i do want to mention
3574s	that uh waterloo skipped the second
3576s	annual module on his second cleave not
3579s	wanting to shield up that second fur
3581s	reaper he does have the glow scale so
3583s	maybe he wants to use that instead and
3585s	have it non-taunted but it is
3587s	interesting that you you skip the divine
3589s	shoot and not just put the glow scone on
3591s	something else entirely
3593s	what he did by though was a corrupted
3595s	myrmidon which i think he was just
3596s	buffing up one of those minions getting
3598s	ready to swap at least it was about 80
3601s	something when we last saw it it's gonna
3603s	be enormous stats when it swapped onto
3605s	the corrupt ramadan once the combat
3607s	starts so that be definitely feeling a
3610s	bit dead here but let's see just how
3613s	much oh he didn't play the ramadan
3616s	yeah so he did he did use the glue skill
3619s	on the cleave which is what i was
3620s	thinking right why would you not have
3622s	divine shield on your cleave but yeah
3624s	just wanting to not have it taunted so
3626s	that maybe it doesn't get uh uh leeroy
3629s	or anything like that so he might just
3631s	be saving the myrmidon for a later turn
3633s	he probably had a different target for
3635s	his hero power this turn and then he's
3637s	like okay next turn i'll just use this
3639s	mermaid on something else entirely
3641s	utterly just kind of knew he was strong
3643s	enough and he was absolutely right but i
3645s	am so glad we got to see what's
3647s	happening with oleash now because here
3649s	is one of the rare prize turns i never
3651s	make it this far on tickets
3653s	does he find a necro light oh he doesn't
3656s	have the divine shield
3658s	uh friendly minion golden is there
3660s	anything good enough here
3662s	uh for that plea no no uh foliage not
3666s	really
3667s	yeah so just the bragger to be another
3670s	hundred plus stat minion that's decent
3673s	he needs an extra light really badly so
3676s	important
3678s	for him he should just roll it down
3681s	i mean he knows right he's just looking
3684s	uh where is it
3686s	he still has some more rolls so right
3692s	just
3693s	cycle the gamblers to get more
3695s	activation on the dark gays
3702s	and these are the sad the sad
3705s	you know times in the game when you're
3707s	just like looking for one specific card
3710s	and you can't find it and then like you
3712s	find at the end when you can't like buy
3714s	it with efficiently with your money
3718s	bob's just trolling you like oh yeah
3719s	necrolyte's here now now you can't buy
3721s	it
3722s	yeah bob's like i know you have an ice
3724s	block i'll give it to you next turn
3726s	you'll never die here that's true that
3728s	is true he doesn't have an ice box
3731s	he's not dead
3732s	mantis is great but i don't know if you
3734s	even play at this turn because it's a
3735s	bit awkward
3737s	probably not but he has to be a blue
3739s	crown on
3740s	yeah play the crown and roll play the
3742s	crown play the divine shields
3745s	oh no oh no
3747s	oh yikes the lag
3751s	i mean that's not really lag right we
3752s	were watching him the whole time he had
3754s	time for the brain lag
3758s	yeah it's quite a bit of a brain like
3760s	there but uh he does have the ice blocks
3762s	so it's not the biggest deal in the
3764s	world right that he didn't get the
3767s	uh the divine off and i don't i
3770s	don't think it would have changed the
3771s	outcome he probably still loses but it
3774s	doesn't say that he would have lost for
3776s	sure because of those poisons but you're
3778s	right it is still a mental thing that
3780s	you need to get over because this is
3782s	still winnable for oleash right if he
3784s	gets that giant cleave of his own and
3786s	then um rounds out the comp with the
3788s	mantid to replace the smaller agum i
3790s	think it's a decent shot a baron could
3793s	do some work as well with this golden
3795s	selfless
3797s	yeah i mean he he knows he just needs to
3799s	hit it
3801s	i mean even if he hit it like waterloo
3803s	has a really nice board so it might not
3805s	be enough even if you hit it that um
3808s	that ghoul is interesting yeah he's
3810s	looking at it i i agree i do think that
3812s	might be better than the pirate that he
3815s	has there just to kind of
3817s	uh remove some of the divine shields on
3819s	waterloo sport because
3821s	uh there's not too many that i mean he
3824s	does have double mantid right so you're
3826s	thinking oh maybe they'll pop off a
3828s	mantid shield or something and then your
3830s	cleave can have a better
3831s	a better chance to do something
3835s	not much gold to work with here but if
3837s	he saw allura in the shop that would
3838s	also be a consideration right if you
3840s	play only one taunt and then put the
3841s	leroy next to it you can sort of trap a
3844s	cleave maybe
3845s	do you sell the fur reaper here
3848s	like is that
3851s	don't no because i feel like oleash
3854s	needs a miracle here which would mean
3856s	ghoul that pops the shields from the
3858s	mantas and then you need the full reaper
3860s	to kill them
3861s	yeah
3862s	the problem is like is he big enough to
3864s	even deal with um
3867s	the cleave because waterloo has like 180
3870s	attack cleave
3871s	and that just might be too big
3873s	regardless
3874s	he also didn't play around the cleave
3876s	this time
3877s	um
3878s	so that's that's another weird thing
3880s	right
3881s	because he could have the selfless
3883s	second
3884s	uh i mean second to last right and then
3886s	it doesn't get you you cleave the
3888s	selfless here instead
3890s	[Applause]
3893s	it doesn't seem to be super super
3895s	important
3896s	three hp though oh my god it actually
3899s	value traded this foe reaper is two nuts
3903s	and that's gonna be waterloo taking a
3905s	very dominating victory this is his
3907s	second first place on vol'jin in this
3910s	weekend's tournament yeah he seems to be
3912s	a volgen specialist especially with
3914s	nagas in he seems to know
3916s	um
3917s	whether to focus on maybe buffing up
3919s	myrmidons or whether to buff up queens
3922s	right so in the previous uh bulging game
3925s	he didn't have access to cleve as easily
3927s	as he did this time and he just ended up
3930s	buffing it he did have a really good
3932s	start ride with the atissa super early
3934s	at this uh and just like committed to
3935s	that uh very cleanly so didn't have like
3938s	a hard game but definitely played it out
3941s	to get the win once he was in the a good
3943s	position
3945s	it's really cool to see players that
3947s	have you know so much confidence on a
3949s	specific hero that they'd be willing to
3950s	take it even
3952s	over shutter walk for example in a big
3954s	in a perfect lobby and you can see that
3956s	waterloo is aware of all the little
3959s	tricks you can do with bulgin not only
3961s	where naga and quilboar were as well and
3963s	you can do things with necrolyte and
3965s	blood gem to double up on the value with
3967s	bulging this is something that you know
3969s	there's so many interactions to be aware
3971s	of even in the post body meta and nice
3974s	to see waterloo getting rewarded for
3976s	that but overall such an intense um
3979s	first game because collins it's so
3981s	different than the first couple games
3983s	from yesterday we saw a lot of players
3985s	aiming for that first place right from
3986s	the get-go
3988s	yeah i mean i do think we just have more
3991s	roll players in this
3993s	group of players than in the first lobby
3996s	the lot the the other one tend to i i
3998s	thought there was more safe players than
3999s	they did playsafe this one i think
4001s	there's more players that
4003s	will take a risk and and get even an
4006s	eighth place if they can like guarantee
4008s	your first so you saw a lot of people
4009s	going to five going to six even early
4012s	enough and like getting their sixes and
4014s	then playing off of that right we saw
4016s	double dark gays we saw so many atheists
4019s	a lot of tenders
4020s	on their board we saw a couple people
4023s	playing eliza even too right so just so
4025s	many sixes on the board a lot of players
4027s	really going for that uh the strongest
4030s	boards possible and then you know
4031s	getting rewarded or punished based on
4033s	how lucky they are
4036s	very very true we didn't unfortunately
4038s	get to see too much from uh caramel and
4041s	gohan gohan also picked vol'jin right he
4044s	had the potential to do everything that
4046s	waterloo did but maybe got knocked out a
4049s	little bit too quickly and look at the
4051s	difference it makes only half a point
4053s	each for seventh and eighth place but
4055s	waterloo king of the lobby so far with
4058s	the full seven we do have kind of a big
4060s	drop off between third and fourth and so
4063s	once again compared to yesterday that
4065s	middle spot is very very much contested
4067s	but different to yesterday it's not
4069s	about just these first three lobbies
4072s	this is going to be extended and
4074s	extended because it's all about who can
4076s	reach check first of all
4078s	yeah it's
4080s	it's gonna be a race here most of the
4081s	time right just because you it's not
4083s	like the
4084s	yesterday where you get this first place
4086s	you're feeling kind of good you're like
4088s	okay we just have to do one
4090s	one more good game and i'm in here it's
4092s	like i need to always perform every
4094s	single game because it doesn't matter if
4096s	i do well if i start slacking then i'm
4098s	not getting first place prizing so uh
4101s	good start for waterloo good start for
4103s	uh oleach and a couple of the other
4105s	players but they need to continue it
4107s	right this one game isn't going to
4109s	matter if you lose the rest of them that
4111s	is right i mean you could technically be
4114s	on 20 points even and still just end up
4117s	losing the tournament even if you're the
4119s	first to get there if you just cannot
4121s	conf convert that into a first place at
4123s	some point later on and that's the
4125s	beauty of this format but we are going
4128s	to go to a quick break first give the
4130s	players some time to settle down i am
4132s	wishing all the players who had to pick
4134s	yasharj and rakanishu better luck on
4137s	their options next time don't go
4139s	anywhere right after this it is the
4141s	second game of the day

4349s	welcome back once again to the finals of
4352s	lobby legends eternal night where we
4353s	just saw waterloo take down a very very
4356s	impressive lobby as vol'jin he is a
4359s	terror on ladder and he is proving that
4361s	he can convert that into tournament
4363s	results as well collins any other
4366s	reactions about that first game
4368s	i thought it was pretty interesting it
4370s	kind of showcased a lot of the styles of
4372s	the players uh there were a lot of just
4376s	heavy like a lot of risk i think from
4378s	the players in the first game and i
4380s	think first games tend to have players
4382s	take the most risk because
4384s	they're just kind of opening the box how
4386s	lucky am i going to be today you know am
4388s	i going to am i going to am i going to
4389s	be on bob's side am i not so i think i
4392s	we just saw a lot of people rolling the
4393s	dice just going for that
4396s	tier 6 power spike and a lot of them got
4398s	it actually so i didn't really see too
4400s	many players there was that one player
4402s	that got the know me into uh second
4404s	nominee i think that was dubbed actually
4406s	but he recovered that
4407s	a little bit right not not really
4409s	faltering too hard or getting eight like
4411s	that but i do think we'll see more of
4413s	that especially the ones that did well
4415s	just continue to go for that the high
4417s	roll play styles especially if pirates
4419s	are in nagasa and crowbars are in right
4421s	it just kind of encourages that gameplay
4423s	as well so
4424s	uh that's that's my reaction from the
4426s	first game i'm glad you pointed that out
4428s	because i think a pattern we've been
4429s	noticing throughout the weekend is that
4431s	whenever naga are in and especially naga
4434s	with quillboard and the overall power
4436s	level of the lobby rises so much but we
4439s	do have another treat to show everyone
4441s	before we jump into the next game it is
4443s	another card reveal and if you've
4446s	noticed we've been moving up in the
4448s	tavern tiers the last one we showed was
4450s	a tier four i wonder if okay still a
4452s	tier four blaster more standard cards
4455s	yeah
4457s	taunt death throttle deal three to all
4459s	minions the deal three to all minions is
4462s	the weird one right like that's
4465s	that's what makes it kind of interesting
4468s	because
4469s	big ghoul
4471s	yeah
4472s	yeah i guess it is just oh yeah that's
4473s	how you would look at it it's a big
4474s	ghoul
4476s	huh
4477s	it's a leroy killing ghoul
4479s	um
4480s	it's an acolyte kilingual
4483s	that's very true i didn't think about it
4485s	like that but now that you're you're
4486s	throwing in that it kills ghoul it kills
4488s	i'm not kill school but it kills leroy's
4491s	that is that is a big deal and it also
4493s	has synergy with baron just like that
4495s	you could make up more
4497s	like there are some people that run like
4498s	double ghoul golden ghoul right with
4501s	baron you could run golden blaster with
4503s	a baron that deals 12 to everything that
4506s	kills them that kills like busters that
4508s	kills macaws oh
4510s	it kills
4511s	a lot of things kills
4514s	yeah wow yeah
4516s	you could really just start trolling
4518s	people with the
4519s	with golden versions of this card so
4523s	pretty interesting addition the fact
4526s	that it's a tier four minutes is gonna
4528s	be harder to triple but
4530s	what does this mean for ghoul right like
4533s	you wouldn't run ghoul and this
4536s	in the same board so that's pretty
4537s	interesting as well i mean so far we've
4539s	been kind of running with the assumption
4541s	that some cards are getting replaced
4543s	with new cards like the atramedes that
4545s	we saw a while ago looks like it's gonna
4547s	replace fire respawn just our
4549s	speculation um so maybe this card could
4552s	come in place of ghoul which is an
4554s	interesting way of looking at it because
4555s	google is such a crucial tech card but i
4558s	wonder if they wanted to maybe limit its
4561s	availability just like how selfless hero
4563s	as a tech card just went up from tier
4564s	one to tier two a bit too common because
4566s	it's too strong
4568s	yeah i mean i wouldn't say google's too
4570s	strong or anything like that it is
4571s	interesting like google is one of the
4572s	cards i hate seeing onto so removing it
4575s	and making it a tier four might be
4577s	better but it is interesting to do that
4579s	i'm not 100 sure how i would evaluate
4582s	that change but it is interesting here
4584s	another shutter walk
4586s	oh and this is a pretty good shutter
4588s	walk lobby as well yeah gonna yes it is
4590s	finally shutter gaming it feels like
4593s	it's been forever
4595s	i'm actually not happy to see shutter
4597s	like if if he gets lucky it's gonna be
4601s	very toxic for the rest of the
4603s	competitors here so i don't know i like
4605s	you can leave shutter rock out of the
4607s	pool honestly for me so i'm not happy to
4609s	see it it's gonna be fun if he gets a
4611s	good start but it's not gonna be fun for
4614s	the players
4615s	that are not only at you
4617s	i'm gonna go ahead and oh wow that's the
4619s	start that shutter wants to see but um
4621s	i'm gonna go ahead and say that i have
4623s	been wanting to see at least one shutter
4625s	game throughout the weekend and timing
4627s	wise i am so glad that it's here before
4629s	the lobby's in check right imagine if
4631s	the shutter was just straight away
4634s	somebody was already checking the lobby
4635s	and hits the shutter but right now this
4638s	is still the points accumulating stage
4640s	nobody is close to that 20 point mark
4643s	just yet but rounding out the rest of
4645s	the hero choices do you have vorden
4646s	again i keep pointing this out because
4649s	we've consistently seen
4651s	dawn grasp as a pretty common pick
4652s	throughout this tournament but one that
4654s	doesn't perform quite so well on ladder
4656s	on average but these players are
4658s	obviously the best of the best i hope
4660s	that varden gets their time to shine
4661s	this time
4662s	yeah i'm just looking at the heroes
4664s	though only one that really stands out
4667s	to me is dumbest pick and i actually
4669s	this whole weekend dumbest been having
4672s	some of the weirder pics he had that
4673s	sneed earlier too oh my goodness
4677s	uh that's not shutter walk though okay i
4680s	was
4681s	you're freaking me out
4683s	oh my god it's still a good shutter
4685s	start look at this never mind ali and
4688s	deck swabbie
4691s	one of those games i can feel it already
4694s	uh everyone uh grab your popcorn because
4696s	this is gonna be a doozy of a game here
4699s	um but yeah it is interesting just going
4702s	back again taking a look at the
4704s	curator i'm actually not that big of a
4706s	curator fan uh just because it's a lot
4709s	harder to
4711s	create a board stay where you can use
4712s	that amalgadon i think in in a lot of
4715s	lobbies especially when like elementors
4717s	are out and demons are out you're not
4719s	getting those early buffs that you want
4721s	to
4722s	make that amalgam
4724s	viable or
4726s	or at least
4727s	reasonable to keep so i don't know if
4729s	we're going to be seeing
4731s	uh
4733s	a high
4734s	i don't know if we're going to be seeing
4736s	that magdalen being kept in the late
4737s	game i think it might be sold later on
4740s	without the murlocs tough to get it to
4742s	be super useful but at least in terms of
4745s	standard curve it's a decent start for
4746s	dumbet he can sell that
4748s	bacon relaxer and put some gems on the
4751s	road board to make sure it can
4752s	consistently keep getting that frenzy
4755s	effect but i want to point out that um
4758s	reno waterloo on the reno did have that
4760s	alley cat start which he can leverage
4762s	into a five drop which he can golden at
4765s	some point maybe even a six but i doubt
4767s	he'll have the time in a lobby of this
4769s	caliber to go for a six without doing
4771s	anything else uh and then of course we
4773s	had oliash on the deck swabi and alicat
4776s	start as shutters so two players with so
4778s	much potential to spike are the two
4780s	players that finish first and second
4782s	last lobby so we could be on our way to
4785s	um a check situation very very soon
4788s	yeah i think uh waterloo's in a pretty
4791s	good position he's just leveling to
4793s	three going three on three and then
4795s	probably gonna go
4796s	to four well he well he can't right
4799s	because he's not gonna sell his alley
4801s	cat so he'll maybe just buy the buy the
4803s	two units and then next turn level and
4805s	go for a five i don't think he can
4807s	realistically go for a six he could like
4810s	to be fair he could do that but uh it's
4812s	it's a ton of risk and maybe unnecessary
4815s	risk as well that uh to do that so i i
4817s	think since baser and you just get the
4820s	five hope it's one of the beast
4822s	uh five drops and a hero power then
4824s	you're pretty safe you're pretty much
4825s	getting a top four from there so i would
4827s	like to see that
4828s	you did see kid go three on three here
4831s	and now has the decision whether he
4832s	wants to immediately buy the looter or
4834s	go for this line which i like which is
4836s	play uh buy the other three drop and
4838s	then freeze this so there's only one
4839s	other slot that can be refreshed and
4842s	it's unlikely that it is both a three
4844s	drop and the one that's going to be
4845s	copied by the hero power so most
4847s	situations he will get the triple on the
4849s	salty looter yeah so waterloo as well
4852s	doing what i suggested ride buying the
4854s	two alley cats since he can't sell his
4856s	alley cat to level this is the next best
4858s	thing you just buy the two i like cats
4860s	and next turn you level play the ally
4863s	cats hope you get a good five and then
4864s	see if you want a hero power of that so
4866s	big turn here for waterloo uh really
4869s	that
4870s	really will decide how the rest of his
4872s	game plays out
4873s	right and just to contextualize for
4875s	people who aren't super up to date with
4878s	ladder or who is at the top of the
4880s	leaderboard you can safely bat that
4882s	waterloo is consistently there this is a
4884s	player that is feared by ladder grinders
4887s	across all the servers and here it is
4889s	you know maybe too strong for word but
4891s	yeah he's very very good
4894s	heavily respected yes that is fine
4897s	all right
4898s	now does he respect people enough to go
4900s	for a five surely right he's at 23. can
4903s	he take a six i don't think so
4907s	the problem with a six is
4909s	it's
4911s	like only eliza that like salvages your
4914s	game so
4916s	it's so risky to do that
4918s	oh here we go
4920s	oh he's getting fives
4923s	it five singular
4926s	hero power is not active anymore so
4930s	what what happened
4932s	i guess he only hit one alicat
4934s	but multiple swabbies
4937s	that's my guess
4939s	because i've only seen one triple here
4943s	yeah okay so it looks like the shutter
4945s	walk
4946s	um
4947s	just committed to the one five uh
4950s	and i i guess just use the econ and the
4954s	fives and now he has a decent board
4956s	well he has a good tempo it's not it's
4958s	maybe not the strongest shutter rock
4959s	board but it is good tempo so yeah he
4961s	did end up getting uh the five drop had
4963s	a hogging hero pirated so
4965s	sometimes what you can do with shoulder
4967s	walk if you are in that exact situation
4969s	you can just like wait a turn stay on
4971s	one a little bit longer try to get the
4973s	swabbie triple there and then if you get
4974s	the swabby trick with the turn after you
4977s	end up saving so much more gold right
4979s	because right now with the hero powers
4980s	he saves two gold but if he triple that
4982s	swabi he ends up saving four gold on
4984s	each
4985s	each thing so i think that's what i
4987s	would have looked for just like stay the
4989s	turn later and then try to get that
4991s	swabby triple maybe see another alley
4993s	cat as well right and then you can pop
4995s	off it's going to be a turn later but
4998s	if you do get
4999s	two sixes like it's still fine even if
5001s	it's a turn later so
5003s	kind of interesting i'm gonna go ahead
5004s	and guess that oleash probably rolled
5006s	down a lot and didn't find any of the
5008s	good battle cries and maybe he felt
5010s	pressured to take just the one triple
5012s	for a five here which is obviously not
5014s	the big shutter walk pop off that we
5017s	were hyping up but
5018s	perhaps you're happy collins because you
5020s	didn't want to see a toxic no
5022s	no i'm i'm actually not happy for this
5025s	for a different reason because now you
5028s	know blizzard's gonna look at this and
5029s	be like ah sure rock's fine like we saw
5031s	a high-level player play this and it was
5033s	like it wasn't even that good like he
5036s	just got a five drop and now we're we're
5038s	not gonna touch shutter at all look at
5039s	this we have the evidence now where like
5042s	you know a lot of us players are just
5044s	like no come on olia destroy the lobby
5046s	show them that it's broken and they're
5048s	just like no it's fine you know so i'm
5050s	not that happy here
5055s	uh
5056s	i will refrain from commenting in fear
5059s	for my job
5063s	i i'm being honest it's fun uh but yeah
5066s	pretty interesting uh board from the kid
5068s	here
5069s	just looking for that green thumb triple
5072s	he doesn't have a full board right so he
5074s	doesn't have a lot of procs for the
5075s	green thumb but i still think if you can
5078s	get a nice setup which he does already
5080s	have with the taunted
5082s	mythrax you can really
5085s	do a lot of damage with uh a golden
5088s	green thumb so hopefully um
5091s	his next couple turns are a lot better
5094s	because he is taking a lot here
5096s	yeah uh oleash hitting the double bird
5098s	buddy and sort of leveraging that one
5101s	five drop into heavy tempo is punishing
5105s	kid here and i don't even maybe it's not
5107s	even right to call this a punish because
5109s	i don't think there was much kid could
5111s	really do about it but it's time to see
5114s	whether he can stabilize looking for a
5116s	five drop of his own
5119s	i would say the punish would maybe be
5121s	going three on three uh right so you go
5123s	three on three and you hope that you can
5126s	recover your power uh in a couple turns
5129s	and he ended up getting triples and
5130s	getting a four and things like that but
5132s	it wasn't a lot of like instant power i
5134s	wouldn't say uh salty there's a ton of
5137s	power instantly i wouldn't say green
5139s	thumb is a ton of power instantly the
5141s	mid tax is pretty good and he tripled
5143s	into an annoying module which is also
5145s	like decent but it does it's not enough
5147s	to kind of warrant the risk of playing
5150s	so many units down and going three on
5152s	three
5153s	fair enough
5155s	doesn't hit any particularly directional
5157s	fives either just takes the leroy for a
5159s	decent tempo but it's not a hogger it's
5162s	not a tony to try and get the golden on
5164s	the peggy so
5166s	gonna be a struggle once again for a
5168s	varden player but dumbet here
5171s	impressively has just
5173s	managed to turn this curator start into
5176s	almost flawless health so far i don't
5179s	even know if he took any damage at all
5181s	and this might be good enough for this
5183s	type of lobby to finish top four just
5185s	making sure you dominate the early game
5187s	and die slowly later
5189s	uh the problem though in like high level
5191s	lobbies is even if you dominate the
5193s	early game like people spike and then
5195s	you take 20 as soon as someone dies
5197s	right so you don't get eight but you get
5198s	like seven and six so he still needs to
5201s	find the direction he is kind of abusing
5204s	the
5205s	um
5206s	what's it called the two fives what are
5208s	they called
5210s	the smugglers yeah so he's abusing the
5211s	smugglers to give his amalgadon a ton of
5214s	health uh but until he finds like a
5217s	kelly it's not really
5219s	clean direction if he can find a kelly
5222s	or something like that then it's gonna
5223s	feel a lot better but for now
5225s	right this is where he starts to fall
5226s	off so that's that's my fear
5229s	is there a world where he goes froggers
5231s	he does have only frog and i think it's
5234s	time to level to five to try and find
5236s	baron
5237s	water loose at three right so that's
5239s	actually also a really big deal he hear
5241s	a power of the hogger so i wonder if
5243s	he's able to recover here this is a
5245s	really important turn for waterloo right
5247s	also he's first in the lobby right so
5249s	having a poor performance would also do
5251s	a lot for the uh the morale of the rest
5254s	of the players
5256s	that's a really important turn here for
5258s	a lot of different reasons
5260s	yeah having somebody lose is good for
5262s	everybody else's morale it's not shot
5264s	and fried it's just competition here
5267s	uh for
5269s	waterloo here looking for that triple on
5271s	the south sea captain but honestly
5274s	if he doesn't hit exactly that into
5277s	another hogger he doesn't have a real
5279s	engine here because you're not salty
5281s	yeah
5284s	but he's not truly infinite until he
5287s	gets another hogger he does still have
5289s	six gold in his hand right so it's it's
5292s	it's not a ton of
5293s	he still has a lot to play with right
5295s	now
5296s	he just needs to triple something
5300s	will something hit another hogger and
5302s	maybe he's there
5305s	he has so many pairs
5307s	you can feel the lag
5309s	oh
5310s	it's physically hurting me yeah as you
5314s	watch oh my gosh you just feel the lag
5318s	all right
5318s	everything done
5320s	just play that in a grubber yoho
5323s	by the deck
5325s	bobby after selling you okay
5328s	fair enough fair enough
5330s	better than i would have done with the
5331s	lag for sure
5333s	yeah you can really feel it so i i think
5335s	he's enough i think he's done enough to
5337s	survive here so that's really good
5339s	and hopefully next turn he'll have a lot
5341s	to work with he knows exactly what he's
5343s	looking for
5344s	and
5345s	should be able to recover so it's really
5347s	good for waterloo not to get a early
5349s	eighth here that doesn't really hurt his
5352s	his you know his chances and everything
5355s	right he is going to hit gohan for quite
5358s	a lot of damage though on that gale wing
5360s	that hotter sticking around meanwhile
5363s	for valeera still super healthy while
5365s	managing to level all the way up to six
5368s	as omu just a very clean omu game so far
5372s	uh has
5373s	several directions he could go for but i
5375s	think is leaning mex right now every
5377s	direction actually he has the eliza he
5380s	has the buster there's a mama and a gas
5382s	curler in the shop if you wanted to so
5385s	just a ton of direction here but it
5387s	looks like he is committing to the
5389s	buster with that um
5391s	macro by there
5395s	right the faux reaper as well um
5398s	normally i don't see pho reaper bot
5401s	um
5402s	with a priority in buster comp but i
5404s	thought he maybe was trying to leverage
5406s	the green thumb a little bit to buff
5407s	that but realizes it's falling up off a
5409s	bit here freezes the baron in the shop
5411s	has really strong prospects for later on
5414s	but we return to waterloo on the apm
5416s	pirates has plenty of pirates in the
5419s	shop
5420s	still not quite the license to level but
5422s	he's sitting on so many pairs has more
5425s	chances to find hogger and he found
5427s	double peggy right so he's getting a
5428s	little bit more scaly usually with
5430s	buster when you're leveling to six like
5432s	that and you have a buster not like
5434s	premium
5435s	uh mechs what you end up doing is just
5437s	buying any premium mech you can so
5439s	that's like deflecto macro cleave and
5442s	once you have like four or five of those
5444s	then you start looking to clean it up
5447s	find the baron find the
5448s	macaw find other
5450s	comps to make that come stronger but
5452s	first you need the pieces right you see
5453s	he still had the eliza so um that kind
5456s	of showcases that his comp isn't fully
5459s	freshed out so i can see why he would
5460s	take the phone in that situation
5462s	meanwhile for dobby things are looking
5464s	dire he's had you know the good gem
5467s	splitter start as george but only on 15
5469s	and i feel like he's been rolling for
5471s	ages for uh ground shaker and hasn't
5473s	found it has had to settle for the
5475s	grease spots and it means the gems are
5477s	only giving their base value every
5479s	single turn but kid
5481s	is knocked out there
5483s	by kind of a very similar comp right to
5485s	water blue has double hogger but doesn't
5488s	have some of the other scaling there's
5490s	actually so many players with hogger
5492s	right though yeah great matt also has
5494s	the hogger kid had a hogger waterloo
5496s	also has a hogger so a lot of these
5498s	players are looking for hogger as their
5499s	main engine uh in this lobby usually hog
5503s	or buster it seems to be in this
5504s	particular game
5506s	oh merzon discovers pretty good if just
5508s	for economy because i believe gohan has
5510s	a brand on the far right here
5513s	um
5514s	does have a crush on the board so maybe
5516s	the pair is also worth looking at
5519s	yeah either the mirazon for the economy
5521s	or the quest for the tempo but it
5523s	doesn't really look like he needs to
5525s	temple that much so i can see just
5527s	looking for the economy also depending
5529s	on who he fought they it might give him
5530s	like maybe a buster or something and he
5532s	might do something with it so i was
5534s	honestly thinking that the mirazon maybe
5535s	gave him enough gold to level this turn
5538s	and
5539s	start rolling on six for an additional
5540s	mantid or something like that because
5542s	i'm not really sure where this comp goes
5544s	from here on tier five
5547s	he's playing menagerie essentially so
5549s	he's just kind of looking to wow he got
5551s	the there's a triple there
5554s	it's a random sewer rat triple yeah but
5557s	he's looking to buff his croc or it's
5560s	not croc but his uh baby crush he's
5562s	looking to
5563s	buff his dragon he's looking to buff his
5565s	hogger so it's just a menagerie comp
5567s	yeah
5569s	fair enough
5571s	and we'll see what the sewerad gives him
5572s	another mounted queen would obviously be
5574s	ideal wow okay
5577s	yeah now it's in a much better spot
5579s	double mounted with
5581s	so many different minion types and then
5583s	you also have the selfless um the one
5586s	fear is if he's not
5596s	i mean it depends on what what is the
5600s	omu playing the almost playing max okay
5603s	he's thinking maybe the
5605s	um the buffs on the uh the
5609s	what's it called
5612s	the baby crush and the
5614s	sura rat will be better than the
5616s	atlantic bridge which i can see right
5618s	like that is
5620s	a good uh
5621s	analysis to make so i think it works out
5624s	for him as well
5625s	i guess specifically max it does make
5627s	sense to value poison a bit more low but
5631s	barely loses here doesn't get knocked
5634s	out but
5635s	doesn't have any more losses left in him
5637s	only down to four health but meanwhile
5639s	waterloo is going to take out oleash
5641s	here
5643s	this is a huge recovery by the way from
5645s	waterloo uh i will say right he was in a
5648s	very
5649s	rough spot uh like three health had a
5652s	hogger
5653s	like a golden hog and that's about it
5655s	but over two turns was able to find the
5657s	golden salty into the the peggy and then
5660s	just was able to just
5662s	zoom zoom stats and and now he's he's
5665s	now a dominating uh player in the lobby
5668s	now right he's the one that took out kid
5670s	he's the one that took out ole yet so
5671s	wow
5672s	what a what a transition there right it
5675s	was looking doomed but he was able to
5678s	have enough of a you know confidence and
5680s	like oh i'll just commit to this and
5682s	ended up
5683s	being really strong now so really cool
5685s	to see super impressive stuff we could
5687s	be seeing back to back first places
5690s	quite soon but uh over on dappy's
5692s	perspective he's finally found the
5693s	ground shaker so obviously a lot
5695s	stronger than he was in previous combats
5699s	but doesn't potentially look like he's
5701s	gonna take a first place um he's the
5703s	next to fight valeera so he's gonna face
5705s	mex on the other side i don't know if
5707s	valera has had the time to find a ghoul
5710s	pyramid is doing what i theorycrafted if
5712s	legs wasn't in if if there wasn't lag
5715s	you run the dark case you run the golden
5717s	hogger and you just like have infinite
5719s	gold while you're scaling from the dark
5721s	gates unfortunately due to the lag this
5723s	isn't as good because you don't have the
5726s	time to really
5727s	uh make it work as efficiently as
5729s	possible but definitely like if once
5732s	that gets fixed like that's going to be
5733s	a really strong scaling composition so
5736s	really cool to see it
5738s	okay valera has found time for a ghoul
5741s	here and
5743s	uh with the baron as well for the buster
5746s	it's gonna be quite a lot of stats
5748s	does this ever end up as a tie
5752s	oh
5752s	it's it's possible right so as long as
5755s	the girl goes oh the acolyte though okay
5758s	yeah but i mean the goal is still
5760s	taunted so at some point right it will
5762s	go into the the goal and then you'll
5764s	lose the rest of the shields but
5766s	potentially he gets more value out of
5768s	these shields and that's what's good
5771s	this goes okay okay
5773s	yeah that needed to go there uh to even
5776s	have a chance i even think even without
5778s	the the shields like the the the scaling
5781s	from the george is too much he has the
5783s	grease spot and he has the jump splitter
5785s	so that's just so much scaling so i
5787s	don't think it's going to be enough for
5789s	the
5789s	uh the omu here unfortunately he's at 29
5792s	so he's not like super
5794s	super weak so he does take the one
5797s	briefly saw dummett was next on
5799s	waterloo's chopping block that is pretty
5802s	insane i don't think anybody has the
5805s	comp to try and beat waterloo at the
5807s	moment um
5809s	gohan had the mounted queens right
5811s	that's something that can maybe stand up
5812s	to pirates huge pirates yeah i i think
5815s	gohan and maybe the george has the best
5818s	chance of dealing with
5820s	uh
5821s	waterloo here george still george's
5824s	board isn't like super a ton of stats so
5827s	uh maybe he will struggle too he does
5830s	have the jump splitter so with the extra
5832s	like 20 hell 20 attack that might be
5834s	enough but
5836s	uh definitely gonna be rough uh if you
5838s	can't take out waterloo early
5841s	he's in a position to just scale
5842s	infinitely
5845s	i am a big fan of caramon's board with
5847s	that um hogger and dark gaze synergy as
5851s	well as peggy it's like the perfect
5852s	halfway point between pirates and
5854s	quillboard that you do still end up with
5857s	a very real comp um doesn't look like
5859s	he's gonna take down the lobby but just
5862s	securing a top four is still decent
5865s	gohan here
5866s	is completely transitioning over to
5869s	poison scam
5870s	it's hard to do without murlocs in so at
5873s	some point
5875s	needs to find some leeroys as well to
5876s	round this out i think
5878s	yeah this ended up being a significantly
5881s	safer uh lobby i think it's because
5884s	nagas aren't in so you don't have the
5886s	high roll of tender or disa
5889s	uh it's just less enticing to go for a
5891s	six if that you can't hit that as an
5894s	option so you see more people going for
5896s	fives there's a lot more
5898s	uh hoggers there's a lot more
5900s	uh you know against beast some some
5903s	beast setup as well busters are maybe
5905s	the only tier six composition that
5907s	you'll see
5908s	but it's just interesting from game the
5910s	game is the same players but just based
5912s	on oh there's no nagas it's not as
5915s	enticing to go for a six you'll see a
5917s	lot more uh staying on four staying on
5919s	five
5922s	gameplay valeera here this yeah there's
5924s	so much high tier minion sticking around
5927s	that's 18 to zero all in one combat
5931s	yeah i mean valera is growing buster but
5933s	his composition wasn't super good uh
5936s	he didn't have the macaw right which i i
5938s	would say right is the main factor i
5941s	would go buster if you have the macaw
5943s	then
5944s	uh your
5945s	buster's a lot better
5947s	but uh doesn't have it though
5949s	waterloo just drops an extra leroy i
5951s	don't think it would have changed the
5953s	outcome if it weren't leroy here but at
5955s	least for
5957s	uh dappy he still stays alive here
5963s	yeah we have the fated battle between
5965s	the mountains and the pirate player
5968s	it's not super great for gohan because
5971s	now waterloo has a
5973s	cleave
5975s	right and that's that's a big deal that
5977s	you just have a cleave to deal with the
5980s	uh the mantids right the monsters are
5982s	also right next to each other so they're
5984s	both gonna get cleave most likely uh
5987s	even if
5988s	gohan goes first uh the selfless isn't
5991s	really gonna do too much against
5993s	waterloo sports so
5995s	the cleave might be the difference maker
5997s	he could
5998s	move the mantids uh around make them not
6001s	together so they both don't get cleaves
6003s	at the same time that is something he
6005s	could do but if he does keep this exact
6007s	positioning it's he's going to get
6008s	punished from the
6010s	uh the appearance of a cleave
6013s	i'm going to briefly mention that gohan
6015s	had the option to have another hogger
6018s	here but he sold it in favor of just
6021s	keeping that baby crush obviously there
6022s	wasn't that time to truly transition
6025s	into or at least for half the board
6027s	transition into ap empire it's just
6029s	playing for the best tempo he can here
6031s	ending on
6032s	was that a kaboom bought by
6036s	kaboombot first
6037s	um
6038s	i would maybe move the mantids a little
6040s	bit but i have i've got vision right i
6043s	can see everything so it's not really
6045s	fair when you're when you're down there
6047s	like trying to analyze oh you haven't
6048s	fought waterloo at all what's he gonna
6050s	have you don't really know and it's all
6052s	pirates you wouldn't assume that he has
6054s	a full reaper cleave first it's not
6057s	something you admit you'd you'd just be
6059s	like oh yeah he's all pirates he has a
6061s	four reaper too of course let's play
6062s	around that it hit double shields on the
6065s	mountains but it's not going to be
6067s	enough here there is simply too much
6069s	stats and that reborn um gas coiler to
6073s	top it all off not even necessary here
6076s	but
6076s	it's gonna be a huge overkill and that's
6079s	gonna be waterloo taking down the player
6081s	that we thought had the most potential
6083s	to counter him so i think it's looking
6085s	like a very clear road to another first
6087s	place for waterloo yeah i do think if
6090s	the mountains weren't together the
6092s	cleave doesn't pop both of the divine
6095s	shields right so maybe it pops one and
6097s	then you see like he barely lost
6099s	with like waterloo just had one minion
6102s	left
6102s	maybe with the um
6105s	with the better positioning he wouldn't
6108s	he would still have the extra divine
6110s	shield and then maybe he gets the win
6112s	there so that that's the one thing you
6113s	could look at but generally i would say
6115s	while he was going to be favored most of
6117s	the time on that fight
6118s	he just has too many big stats so even
6121s	with the
6122s	um the extra mantis queens it's likely
6125s	not going to be enough
6128s	well returning to dapi he had a big
6130s	smile on his face i think just making
6132s	sure that he could take down a second i
6134s	don't know if he feels confident on
6135s	beating waterloo at this point triple
6138s	shaker but cannot afford it well he
6141s	could triple cell
6143s	um uh
6145s	it's it's not super great to do it but
6147s	it's definitely an option
6148s	yeah i'm gonna go for it yeah so i i
6151s	think it does make sense because it
6152s	makes you so much stronger to have it on
6154s	the board compared to not having on the
6156s	board you don't get the um
6159s	you don't get the divine shield but
6161s	holy mackerel doesn't need it right so
6163s	it's not too big of a loss the one issue
6165s	with this is that you're not getting
6167s	gems for next turn but they're both
6170s	single digits so i'm just assuming he's
6172s	like yeah there's no next turn so let me
6173s	just let me just try
6175s	there that's a very good assessment and
6178s	he does get faux reaper which is a
6180s	decent hit on the six drop just to take
6183s	off several shields played for maximum
6185s	tempo um the golden ground shaker buff
6189s	is super relevant if you're reading
6190s	pirates because it does usually just
6192s	become a big stat battle at that point
6195s	yeah macro can actually win this which
6198s	they disgust me honestly but it can
6201s	happen right if macro just like bounces
6203s	and bounces and bounces and bounces
6205s	i don't want to see it though
6207s	man if tunnel blaster really is
6209s	replacing ghoul doesn't that make george
6211s	so much stronger because it's so hard to
6213s	attack her yeah or it's like rare to
6215s	find the tech
6217s	george has been happy with the reveals
6219s	in my opinion i think a lot of the
6220s	reveals are actually pretty good george
6222s	oh
6223s	it is actually going to be a win for
6225s	daffy i am
6227s	kind of shocked honestly i thought
6228s	waterloo had that unlocked but the
6230s	mackerels and the decision to triple
6232s	cell for the ground shaker were so
6234s	clutch
6236s	yeah
6237s	macros you know they are
6240s	very strong if i'm gonna be nice about
6242s	it they are very good like getting an
6245s	extra shield is so broken and then being
6248s	able to do that on two minions that can
6250s	give more shields after that is just so
6253s	powerful especially if you buffed your
6254s	attack so
6255s	uh
6258s	good play though right from the george i
6260s	i wasn't it wasn't looking like the
6262s	georgia was going to go for the win or
6264s	get the win but was able to get golden
6267s	shaker had the jump splitters early in
6269s	the game had the great spot early in the
6271s	game just had a good setup and i don't
6274s	think that uh waterloo played
6277s	ghoul at the end did he
6279s	he didn't play so that's more on
6282s	waterloo's fault right like he has a
6283s	golden hogger he should be able to see
6285s	like oh maybe i need this goal but
6287s	decided not to play the go and you can
6288s	see the punish right if he had to go
6290s	probably wins 100 so you could maybe
6292s	criticize waterloo at the end he was
6294s	probably rolling for it maybe just
6296s	didn't hit it right but if you see that
6298s	oh george is still alive that late in
6300s	the game maybe you want to like buy it
6302s	as soon as you see it the last two three
6304s	turns so that is maybe the one caviar
6306s	the one criticism you could make for
6307s	waterloo but still
6309s	salvaging a a game that looked like an
6311s	eighth place into a first a second place
6314s	potentially first place game is really
6316s	incredible there yeah very impressive
6318s	stuff i would also say dapi had a lot of
6320s	salvaging to do because i think he found
6322s	the ground shaker very late or much
6325s	later than you'd prefer as george but
6326s	still managed to hang in there early
6328s	enough finding that gem splitter and
6330s	leveraging the green spots to make sure
6332s	he had still some sort of scaling in the
6334s	meantime and converting that into a
6337s	first place is very very good stuff um
6340s	really not looking good for kid here and
6342s	for oleash a bit of his hard work in the
6344s	first game a bit undone by that seventh
6346s	place we are going to see a bit more
6348s	evening out in the points with the
6350s	exception of waterloo of course who now
6352s	has a total of 13 which by my math
6355s	collins means that if he
6357s	takes first place in the third game of
6359s	the day he could put the lobby in check
6362s	it's actually a two horse race right now
6364s	right the pedo also got
6366s	third
6367s	so
6369s	they're both doing extremely well for
6371s	themselves actually just kind of
6372s	dominating the rest of the competition
6374s	so we'll see if that continues right so
6377s	very good we've kind of talked our
6379s	praise on both of these players
6381s	throughout this tournament so far and
6382s	they just keep showing up so it's hard
6384s	not to continue talking about them but
6386s	yeah they're both doing really well in
6388s	these first two games
6390s	yeah they are running away ahead of the
6392s	rest of the lobby but crucially even
6394s	though it's just one point difference
6396s	only waterloo is in contention to put
6398s	the lobby in check at the very next
6400s	game uh it does need to be first right
6403s	like what's the chance of that like
6405s	i mean it's waterloo look at him first
6407s	and second so far he if he picks vol'jin
6410s	he just takes first every single time
6412s	all he needs to do is hit a vulgin again
6414s	i i think it's possible
6416s	yeah
6417s	it definitely is right and we'll see uh
6420s	there there was a chance for
6422s	uh him to do poorly right you could see
6425s	he's more of the hyrule player right
6426s	where he he puts himself in three health
6429s	but then he takes that eighth place
6430s	potential into a first right and that's
6432s	really the skill set you'd need to to do
6435s	to climb in ladder and also to perform
6437s	really really well in these tournaments
6438s	so i really like uh his play style right
6441s	i definitely always like watching those
6443s	type of players just kind of
6445s	dance on the edge right dance on three
6447s	health and be like i'm fine i could be
6449s	at three and at eight place position and
6451s	just take it all the way to the second
6453s	or first even so really cool to see that
6456s	is right all our lobby legends players
6457s	to a certain extent push the limits uh
6460s	that being said even though waterloo is
6462s	super ahead the likes of kid who are you
6465s	know trailing behind the rest of the
6467s	lobby they're not out of contention just
6469s	yet it's different than it was yesterday
6471s	where it's only three games because even
6473s	if
6474s	you know a couple players put the lobby
6476s	in check if they don't take a first
6478s	place you can still creep up to that 20
6480s	mark point uh 20 point mark yourself and
6483s	then
6484s	take down the lobby after that as well
6485s	so nobody is out of the game just yet
6489s	however we do have to give our players
6490s	some time to relax a little bit so we
6493s	are going to go to another break don't
6495s	go anywhere right after this it is game
6497s	three of the finals of lobby legends
6499s	eternal night
6501s	[Music]
6516s	[Music]
6520s	[Applause]
6522s	[Music]
6545s	so
6550s	[Music]
6567s	oh
6578s	[Music]
6619s	[Music]
6634s	[Music]
6696s	hello and welcome once again to lobby
6698s	legends eternal night it is finals day
6700s	and we have just completed the first two
6702s	games of the day nobody's put the lobby
6704s	in check just yet but collins we have a
6706s	couple players who are very close to
6708s	doing so yeah
6710s	to be fair only waterloo can do it and
6712s	he needs to be first uh i don't think
6716s	we're gonna see
6717s	la uh a lobby in check in the next game
6720s	but i think it's very likely we'll have
6722s	a couple of people checking the lobby in
6724s	at least two games so it should be soon
6727s	yeah that is true i mean uh waterloo and
6730s	dapi are just kind of neck and neck
6731s	right now 13 and 12 points a piece and
6734s	after that there is kind of a big gap
6736s	but if they do finish with middling um
6739s	placements and then we have the likes of
6741s	olyash who are somewhere in the middle
6742s	taking first then we could have a
6744s	situation where it's like three or more
6746s	players putting the lobby in check all
6748s	at once just like we saw in the previous
6750s	lobby legends um i think it was three
6752s	players that entered check all at once
6754s	but straight after that max
6756s	came and took the victory very very
6758s	impressive stuff um i know that i'm not
6761s	supposed to ask you for predictions
6762s	about players at this point collins but
6765s	okay how about a hero prediction we've
6767s	seen so far today vol'jin and george
6769s	take first place what's your feeling for
6771s	game three
6773s	uh i think we're due to see like a good
6776s	barden game actually another another
6779s	hero i think that that should do pretty
6781s	well is zarella so maybe one of those
6783s	two
6784s	uh they have i mean there's a lot of
6786s	good heroes that can win in this meta
6788s	and they seem to be picking those heroes
6789s	and doing well with them so i think
6791s	those two would be my hero guests and i
6794s	like to give two and see which one is
6796s	right
6797s	well something else we are also due for
6800s	is another reveal i believe because um
6803s	this is you know a very very fun time we
6805s	have seen today at remedies and tunnel
6807s	blaster we have two more throughout the
6810s	day and i think a new card will be
6812s	appearing very very soon i'm so excited
6814s	because um so far we've seen not too
6817s	many words with minion types but we are
6819s	seeing now a new mech
6821s	you're doing a lot of uh
6824s	constructor cards or at least arena
6826s	cards for me uh war gear i definitely
6829s	uh remember and this is interesting
6831s	because i feel like there isn't enough
6833s	magnetics right so now they're adding
6836s	even more magnetic so this is a five
6837s	five magnetic
6839s	buffs good buff for
6841s	uh deflectors and things five five five
6843s	has a pretty good stat line right it's
6845s	one of the best stat lines for magnetic
6847s	cards so it now
6849s	gives every divine shield mech more of a
6852s	priority because you know you can hit
6853s	this on tavern 4 and just like turn your
6855s	pup bot into a a 7 6 which is a lot more
6858s	of a threat so i do think just being a
6861s	magnetic is strong in itself i know
6863s	omega buster used to
6865s	have the magnetic tag but it was deemed
6867s	too strong so uh hopefully this one
6870s	doesn't have that same faith and loses
6872s	some of the tag because i do think uh
6874s	mechs do need a little bit more of a
6876s	power spike to contest with the late
6878s	game scaling of some of the other
6879s	compositions especially naga so
6881s	hopefully this can even the odds a
6883s	little bit
6885s	on the flip side even though it has that
6887s	up side of um
6889s	being a late game option i think it also
6891s	just makes max even more consolidated on
6894s	staying on tier 4 in other strategies
6896s	which is something they already want to
6897s	do and i think that war gear also you
6900s	know any magnetic indirectly buffs
6903s	heroes like sarfang and vuljin that can
6906s	stack buffs onto minions that are
6908s	already existing because they can buff
6910s	essentially minions in the shop as well
6912s	very very cool stuff i am happy that
6914s	we're also seeing so many resurgence of
6916s	like
6917s	standard cards kind of seeing use in
6920s	battlegrounds as well and i'm
6922s	always looking out for the different
6924s	ways that the cards can interact in two
6926s	different game modes really happy about
6928s	that one so uh that's our third reveal
6931s	of the day collins we only have one more
6933s	uh i already feel like warrior is going
6935s	to be my favorite just because i'm such
6937s	a big fan of that card from back in the
6939s	magnetic days in standard but we are
6941s	through to the game now looking at good
6944s	dumbest choices this is the first barrow
6945s	we've seen in a long time but i am
6947s	definitely eyeing that
6949s	yeah bear definitely has is it's been
6951s	seen as pretty risky generally but i do
6954s	think it's playable the other one would
6955s	be mutinous here just taking a look at
6957s	some of the other choices there is a
6959s	zarella or pyramid for gohan there's
6961s	also a reform i i wouldn't mind the
6964s	pyramid here i think pretty much is
6965s	pretty safe uh only actually on the
6967s	zephyrus which seems pretty good god
6969s	dammit on the scabs took the scabs of
6971s	the yog or the queen ashara so that that
6975s	also makes sense i think scabs is really
6976s	really good there's another shutter
6978s	player as well
6979s	yep shutter alert sound the alarm
6983s	and this is actually yeah this is an
6985s	insane shutter lobby too right naxarin
6988s	pirates are in
6990s	the pirates around okay so there is a
6992s	bit of a downside but nagisaran and
6994s	biser and which is still pretty good for
6995s	shredder so should be happy
6997s	yeah as long as you get beast and one of
7000s	either naga or pirate i feel like that
7002s	justifies um
7004s	a shutter pick for sure it is mutinous
7008s	picked by goddammit here over lord barov
7010s	though not interested in taking a more
7012s	risky line which is fair
7014s	he's not in a position where he's
7016s	already in check and needs a first place
7018s	right it's still about the points
7020s	accumulation for the vast majority of
7022s	our players
7024s	yeah i i do think bear off is just like
7026s	very very risky it does get better with
7029s	the better like the better the players
7032s	are and these are very skilled players
7033s	so bravo is usually pretty good but even
7036s	then all it takes is like one bad bet a
7038s	couple of bad fights and now you're
7040s	feeling pressure now you can't level the
7042s	five now you just have to kind of stay
7043s	and salvage the game so i do think
7046s	mutinous uh is generally safe especially
7050s	with nagisarin you can always eat the
7051s	spellcraft buffs so don't mind the
7054s	musicness pick here the picks i do mind
7057s	though would probably be the uh
7059s	uh the lyra on the syndragosa i'm not a
7061s	big fan of that and also the um
7065s	what's the fourth million nostromo right
7068s	yeah those two aren't like super super
7070s	pretty yeah the fifth minion i think
7071s	that's nice
7073s	okay
7074s	yeah uh we did have a bit of a camera
7076s	error apologies for that it's actually
7077s	waterloo on the mutinous and we have
7079s	goddammit scabs and so contextualizing
7083s	this for a waterloo is even more
7085s	interesting i would say because i feel
7086s	barrow has more potential to go first
7088s	place than mutanus and the first as we
7090s	know for waterloo would get him into
7092s	check position but he is not aiming for
7094s	strictly check right now i think he just
7096s	wants to make sure that within the next
7098s	two lobbies you can for sure get
7101s	the
7102s	lobby in check which makes a lot of
7103s	sense because varov also has a lot of
7105s	potential to go eighth place yeah
7108s	because the the thing is if you take
7109s	bravo you're eight now you're just in
7111s	the same position you were about but
7113s	like significantly behind because other
7115s	people are ahead where you take the
7116s	mutants maybe you get third but it means
7119s	that all you need is a sixth or fifth
7121s	even to get in check and then you're
7122s	feeling a lot more comfortable so with
7124s	that contextualization i think it makes
7126s	even more sense to skip the bear off
7128s	here just too risky in the position
7130s	while losing
7132s	so over on caramel's perspective hasn't
7134s	hit an alley cat just yet but has the
7136s	double
7137s	shell collector start not too bad
7139s	the decision to buy a mini myrmadon on
7143s	turn one this is something that i've
7145s	heard many conflicting opinions about i
7147s	believe it was chief i tuned into
7149s	recently their stream and he was talking
7151s	about how on shudder sometimes he would
7154s	rather roll role than hero power if he
7156s	doesn't find a good battle cry to buy on
7158s	turn one thoughts on this well
7161s	it's because he really wants to force
7163s	the
7164s	um
7166s	the shutter hyrule right some players
7168s	don't
7169s	care as much as hyrule you can see like
7171s	only in the last game didn't really feel
7174s	like he cared too much the hyrule he
7176s	just went for the single five and he was
7178s	okay with that uh where some people like
7180s	they want the hyrule they don't want
7183s	anything else nothing else matters with
7185s	the hyrule so they'll roll roll roll
7187s	roll roll it down 10 10 turns until they
7189s	get and then they'll pop off so uh the
7192s	players that do buy the three foot the
7194s	three three usually are the ones that
7196s	don't mind they just want to mitigate
7197s	health and as long as they get maybe one
7199s	triple they're fine with it where some
7201s	players want like two triple three
7203s	triples four triples and they'll just
7205s	roll it down until they get it so
7207s	it's just more of a priority pick than
7209s	necessarily what's correct i am
7211s	personally i will say i'm more of the
7213s	high roller you know so i i respect it
7215s	but i i probably would just buy
7217s	something on turn one even if
7219s	um
7220s	i didn't get exactly the battle cards i
7222s	wanted
7223s	fair enough uh we did briefly look oh my
7227s	god it's over it's over
7229s	it's over guys oh finally
7232s	now we'll get to see you know blizzard
7234s	take taking a look at this look look how
7238s	stupid this
7239s	is
7241s	it's still going to be a couple turns
7242s	before we see the true
7244s	um pop off
7246s	but until then i wanted to
7248s	highlight uh kid a little bit here
7250s	because the aka zamzarak pick is not one
7252s	that we've seen very often but i
7253s	actually feel it's a very solid
7255s	tournament uh hero of course except in
7257s	the situation where you're already in
7259s	check and just trying to get a first
7260s	place but still in the point
7262s	accumulation stage i think akazamzarak
7264s	you know you just play for tempo hit an
7267s	ice block it's a pretty consistent way
7268s	of making top fours
7270s	yeah akka zamzak would be the
7272s	hero after the other two that i
7274s	mentioned that i would have the most
7276s	question marks even
7277s	for me it really depends on how often i
7279s	get compared to spirit like that's it's
7282s	been biased but that's how i feel about
7284s	the cards like if you if i get two three
7286s	comparisons oh my god
7288s	if i know
7289s	okay sorry
7291s	uh
7292s	he has four alley cat battle cries
7300s	i'm ready
7302s	i'm not
7304s	yeah we're
7305s	we're gonna have a fun next turn let me
7307s	tell you it's gonna be
7309s	he gets four triples right he can choose
7311s	like four or six drops oh my god
7313s	[Music]
7315s	and he's getting uh four gold every time
7318s	he he plays a shorter length too so it's
7320s	just giving him money so he should be
7322s	able to level level level and if he does
7326s	everything perfect i think he can level
7328s	again
7329s	uh and just get a bunch of sixes so
7331s	we'll see this is a really important
7333s	turn next turn for the shutter walk i
7335s	mean it's not he could just wait another
7336s	turn if he really wants to so yeah
7340s	he's chilling the question is
7342s	will he have time to get six drops i
7345s	think so he even has a sewer rod
7349s	as long as he starts his actions as soon
7353s	as his fight ends he should have enough
7355s	time
7356s	uh the only issue is if he like
7359s	delays and gets like oh maybe i don't
7362s	have enough and he like counts wrong or
7363s	something
7364s	but it's not this turn right because
7366s	this turn it's the double level to three
7367s	next turn i think you could be four and
7369s	five at once he should be he should be
7372s	able to do it this turn
7373s	really
7374s	oh okay
7376s	uh oh yeah because you have the triple
7378s	shell collector so yeah
7381s	you have eight more gold
7383s	gosh i don't know i honestly can't do
7385s	the math this quickly
7389s	he's thinking about getting another
7391s	triple and then doing it next turn and
7393s	getting five the thing is he takes so
7394s	much damage right so maybe you just do
7396s	it now
7400s	but yeah he's counting
7401s	you need five board spaces to play the
7403s	shutter ling so this is perfect
7407s	oh my goodness
7411s	look at all the cats
7414s	he has to sell the mermaid level
7417s	yeah so he's not going to greet and like
7419s	because there's another triple in there
7421s	but he's like you know what four triples
7423s	on turn six that's probably enough right
7426s	and i agree
7427s	personally i agree so you know i think
7430s	this is correct
7434s	it is enough gold jeez
7438s	he he does have to get one five that's
7440s	the one caveat but it it should be oh
7443s	boohoo
7445s	i mean caveat is the rope here
7448s	yeah so that's what i was saying like he
7450s	just needs to oh i like the tender here
7453s	but i i mean maybe he's just running out
7454s	of time yeah double tender would have
7456s	been the same
7458s	you got the naga discover no oh
7461s	man yeah so
7464s	that's what i was saying like he just
7465s	needed to do the actions as soon as the
7468s	the turn timer started for him and i
7470s	think he would have enough but this is
7471s	kind of
7473s	it's it's you're normally you normally
7475s	don't get four alley cats right so
7477s	normally you just get like two and or
7479s	three maybe you're like okay i have
7480s	enough time i do through so he just like
7482s	super high rolled and there's like not
7484s	enough time uh you just have to know
7487s	that you have no time and you need to do
7488s	the trip for both so he ends up taking
7490s	more damage than he needs he also didn't
7492s	get like double tender he could have
7493s	like double tender level distance and
7495s	with double tender and then you know win
7498s	the lobby immediately or from there but
7500s	he's he's still in a great position
7501s	right like double double that is still
7503s	really good
7505s	that's insane that you can miss out on
7507s	actions and still be in a good spot as
7509s	shutter there but that's the shutter for
7510s	you
7511s	uh yeah ozil and another one in the shop
7514s	oh my goodness
7517s	levels first in case of ethissa discover
7520s	i guess yeah and i guess you triple sell
7523s	the cats oh
7525s	yeah so that's why you know i wanted to
7527s	triple sell the cats but you know it's
7530s	it's fine
7531s	we're still
7533s	okay
7534s	but yeah
7536s	pretty good shutter turn i would say
7538s	pretty pretty pretty good shutter board
7541s	not too bad whatsoever would you
7543s	favorite like selling a cat to refresh
7545s	so you get the full six minion shop and
7547s	then for sure you get the full eats from
7549s	the fell back okay he he even has a card
7552s	in his hand right so it's not like he
7554s	can't play a full board so i definitely
7556s	would uh eat as much as possible
7563s	in the land of mere mortals who are not
7565s	does the does the rest of the boards
7567s	matter
7568s	[Laughter]
7571s	for sure for sure there's still you know
7573s	the six points up for grabs you know
7575s	second place is still something to play
7577s	for
7579s	yeah
7581s	ooh double crush oh and he can probably
7584s	triple that too uh next turn half go
7586s	alright he's fighting shutter never mind
7588s	oh he's taking 15. okay
7591s	doesn't mean he can't triple it next
7593s	turn
7594s	especially if the matron cooperates can
7597s	he at least get two avenge procs
7601s	looks pretty likely
7604s	the maxi can yeah he gets the two and he
7606s	gets uh maybe look out maybe lookout can
7609s	do something and he should
7611s	he should have the hero power next turn
7613s	as well to
7614s	get a golden baby crush and
7617s	i mean that might be pretty strong like
7619s	you're gonna feel the pressure once you
7622s	after you just take 15 right from from
7624s	uh the shutter walk but it doesn't mean
7626s	you're in a bad spot the i mean the
7628s	worst thing is you're at 12 and you can
7630s	die but
7631s	your board state isn't
7634s	that weak because as long as you triple
7636s	and you get like a good five here you
7638s	can get even
7639s	brand with the uh
7641s	the lookout and be well but mama bear is
7643s	also really really good
7644s	seven is good too
7648s	if you're not on twelve i agree if
7650s	you're exactly yeah yeah yeah
7654s	if you're not on twelve it's okay
7656s	and then i think he sells out of the
7658s	wrath viewer here don't wanna take any
7659s	more damage right after playing the
7661s	devourer
7662s	yeah you just try to buy as many beasts
7664s	as you can
7666s	um
7669s	well he had the amalgam and decided to
7670s	skip that i would say that's
7672s	probably not good enough right yeah rat
7674s	pack's definitely more what you're
7676s	looking for
7677s	yeah
7678s	i am on board for that
7680s	update from lorinda looks like our
7682s	shutter player caramon has also hit an
7684s	athisa now
7687s	everything he needs and more i i don't
7689s	even i'm like he definitely has the time
7691s	to transition to naga if he wants to but
7693s	just like staying on beast i mean on
7695s	demons also feels very solid
7698s	the issue with committing to demons is
7700s	that murlocs are in the lobby and if
7702s	your opponent knows oh he's just double
7704s	fell back they'll just go double seven
7706s	and just go poison scam so you do need
7709s	some
7710s	more alternative scaling with atissa
7712s	whether you're going to go for a big
7713s	cleave with the critter wrangler or
7715s	you're just going to go a bunch of nagas
7717s	i do like having that extra option
7720s	because you know you're not losing these
7722s	fights so you just do what you want
7725s	right oh this poor scab has had a setup
7728s	you know
7730s	yeah but this is what we're saying right
7732s	if you just rely on the failed bats
7734s	you'll have people go double seven right
7737s	as he does
7738s	right and just cheese your your big fell
7741s	back stats so you do need another option
7744s	there
7747s	waterloo going to take a lot of damage
7749s	here mama bear and the baby crush
7751s	sticking around
7753s	and the nest matron most likely well
7755s	we'll see if mama dies right
7759s	but it's still a lot of damage yeah
7763s	still 15
7766s	the damage cap the only thing standing
7768s	between a lot of these players and
7770s	certain death at the moment
7772s	the wrangler's an interesting pick up
7774s	here i guess the uh the brand isn't
7777s	really dumb like doing that much for him
7780s	but i don't think the wrangler is also
7782s	uh that strong on the option you can get
7784s	another five here if he wants or you
7786s	could try and go for a six if he if he'd
7788s	rather do that and stuff but no just
7790s	gonna go for double five those guys um
7793s	should he go playing super safe
7799s	okay closed skill
7800s	really helps the critter wrangler get
7803s	value at this point you like to see it
7805s	um it's also got some synergy with the
7807s	arm
7809s	yeah
7810s	it's not super great like it's you're
7812s	getting an extra 2-1 or 2-2 a turn which
7816s	you know isn't you know it's not nothing
7818s	it's not it's not going to win you a
7820s	game or anything like that but it is it
7822s	is nice to find get some synergy for the
7824s	wrangler because you if you do take the
7826s	wrangler you get no snare you could say
7828s	oh the brand would be better right
7829s	because he did buy a mug and that's
7831s	already plus six plus six so
7833s	um have to see some synergy at least
7836s	not be here even though he ends up
7839s	playing two gold i think he's gonna sell
7841s	the 2 8 and play mr rocks right yeah
7844s	even though it's two gold used on rolls
7846s	i love that he's just playing for full
7848s	respect here you need the myth rocks to
7851s	start scaling you need the hydra to have
7853s	the wind fury because people are just
7854s	getting so out of control you see
7856s	there's a shudder you just need to try
7858s	and scrap for as high of a placement as
7860s	you can
7862s	yeah and daphne's been really good at
7864s	doing that right just making sure he has
7866s	the best chance oh it's great
7869s	yeah it
7872s	you've been in situations like this
7873s	right where your green thumb gets sniped
7875s	is that worse than losing the fight or
7877s	would you like get your green thumb
7878s	snipe but then you win the fight and
7880s	you're not supposed to
7882s	uh
7883s	all contextual right if you don't take
7886s	that much damage sometimes
7890s	that's the same as you college you've
7891s	popped out every single time i've asked
7894s	you
7896s	fair enough but i'm still gonna say it
7898s	you know i i i'm i'm with give me that
7900s	green thumb buffs as long as i'm not
7902s	dead you know
7903s	i'll make up for it yup yup yup
7906s	especially the golden one it feels so
7908s	bad to miss out on that yeah
7910s	uh hero powering his caps trying to
7913s	salvage this game he's more of a
7916s	murloc game here he does have this
7918s	random fell back but he took it from the
7920s	uh
7921s	the shutter walk and he's just trying to
7923s	get
7924s	uh you know gurgles and things like that
7926s	to make his minions
7927s	big enough to be
7929s	threats just doesn't have that yet
7932s	chance to hit it from the tad i think
7934s	it's worth buying here i don't know if
7936s	he values the four reaper not sure what
7938s	gohan's uh composition is let me take a
7942s	check here
7943s	down a minion
7946s	yeah
7947s	beast is definitely
7949s	a reason to keep the foe but i think
7951s	with the board that
7952s	um
7954s	dumb it has it's it's probably better to
7956s	try the tad play the
7958s	uh the 3t because you need to play the
7959s	glow skill right so it's it's almost
7962s	impossible that you're going to keep
7964s	uh that full reaper because the other
7966s	murlocs you want to keep you want to
7967s	keep the um
7970s	the felbat as well uh but so
7974s	probably just going to sell out of the
7976s	foe and
7978s	maybe end on the
7980s	uh amalgadon
7982s	unless the tad is really good or
7983s	something like that
7988s	well we'll see
7989s	um this could be dumbest last fight
7994s	yeah yeah that's true i thought kid uh
7997s	had less or gohan had less health but
8000s	even if he loses this fight he'll still
8002s	be alive so it's pretty good
8006s	build on that bird buddy coming in
8008s	clutch reborn on the mama bear also
8010s	clutch but he doesn't have space to
8012s	spawn the baby crush token so i think
8015s	that uh dummett lives to see another
8017s	game
8021s	yeah i'm thinking if the positioning
8023s	could have been a little bit better from
8024s	gohan because
8026s	uh but i don't really think his
8028s	positioning was bad i think he just had
8030s	everything there and he just got sniped
8033s	a bit so a bit unlucky for him
8035s	well kid gets the ice block procked here
8038s	though no more chances to stay alive
8041s	from this point
8042s	and
8043s	with a khadgar in hand what kind of comp
8045s	could he possibly have oh the deflecto
8048s	stuff
8049s	he didn't have splitting image did he
8052s	i would assume he had splitting image
8054s	because it's it's really the only reason
8056s	why you would run um
8059s	five units right if if you didn't if you
8061s	had if you didn't have splitting image
8063s	right then you run like maybe six or
8065s	seven if you you want to like guarantee
8067s	the uh
8070s	the autumn defense matrix but it with
8073s	the khadgar it's pretty much uh i'm i'm
8076s	relying on splitting on my deflectors to
8078s	carry me here so unlucky
8081s	yeah apparently uh loren is saying he
8083s	had the poison secrets so maybe he
8087s	committed to this before seeing what the
8088s	secret was which is very unfortunate
8090s	indeed and he's missed on splitting
8092s	image again uh i guess he picked
8094s	redemption here which is you know still
8096s	something that you can do with the
8098s	deflecto and khadgar but obviously the
8099s	new ones won't have this much attack and
8101s	he's facing shutters so i think kid
8103s	knows that this is the end
8106s	at least of this game so far it's really
8108s	not been his lobby he's been trailing
8110s	everybody else i think he had an eighth
8112s	and then a joint seventh eighth uh which
8115s	is pretty sad to see because um kid's
8118s	been one of the more consistent
8120s	performers over in the chinese
8121s	qualification scene and in previous
8123s	lobby legends results uh according to
8125s	our info from vantage
8128s	yeah i it i do think uh the poison
8132s	secret which does it does interact with
8135s	khadgar so i don't mind that uh just
8137s	running it and getting double poison but
8139s	it's not like premium right you'd rather
8142s	have the
8143s	uh
8144s	the splitting image instead but
8147s	if you don't get that sometimes you just
8148s	say oh it's fine he didn't miss on a
8151s	glow scale here right yeah yeah caravan
8153s	just floating a bunch of spellcraft and
8156s	it doesn't matter
8159s	does it ever matter
8160s	unlikely i mean these derives are just
8162s	so small to take down the deflectors
8166s	so
8167s	this
8168s	or leroy is the reason why
8170s	you see a lot of people not playing
8172s	tantra deflectors anymore it's kind of
8174s	lost popularity just due to the fact
8177s	that there's such a heavy counter to
8179s	this exact composition you buy a leroy
8181s	it goes into your deflector boom your
8183s	whole comp is done
8184s	so you just don't see as as much as you
8187s	used to this used to be a very
8189s	popular cheese
8191s	composition composition
8193s	also fell off for the same reason right
8194s	yeah the line of divine shields at the
8197s	front
8198s	um leroy warping the meta in so many
8200s	different ways waterloo here takes the
8202s	victory against dappy on the nos but
8205s	tapi survives probably has the ghost
8207s	fight this turn um and waterloo has to
8211s	proceed versus oleash on zephyrus which
8213s	it's been a while since we checked in on
8215s	him i think he had the baby crush
8217s	yeah three people died this turn right
8220s	so
8220s	that's gotta feel
8222s	really bad for all three of them right
8224s	just getting knocked out at the same
8225s	time so yeah they'll each get one point
8228s	with that three-way tie
8230s	yeah
8231s	dumber's board was particularly decent i
8233s	think he had a good murloc scam but i i
8236s	just think a lot of other players were
8238s	playing like beasts or playing
8240s	uh deflectos and it just wasn't good
8243s	enough to deal with the murloc so that's
8244s	like the big counter to murlocs if
8246s	people if biserin if mexican people can
8249s	just play big beast big mechs and deal
8251s	with that poison that you're generating
8254s	with the seven
8255s	this doesn't interact particularly well
8257s	against all these token generating types
8260s	of comps which is unfortunate because
8262s	dammit seemed like he was maybe the one
8265s	player that had a chance against caramon
8267s	who was playing more for single uh
8270s	singular high-status minions instead of
8272s	the death rattle stuff uh
8275s	more waterloo though option to triple
8277s	the deflecto which you know is
8279s	oftentimes a bit but because one of the
8281s	deflectors is kind of small it's
8283s	probably worth taking it right yeah i
8285s	think it's fine here because your
8287s	deflectors aren't super big so you're
8288s	not losing too much here he might do it
8290s	and get a six maybe oh but okay now now
8293s	that i didn't see he had the macro on
8295s	this on this board i think with double
8297s	reborn on your macros now it's now it
8299s	doesn't make sense so
8301s	i didn't see the menace with the minutes
8303s	i wouldn't do it because you'd rather
8305s	have two deflectors with minutes on both
8306s	of them than one with but before that i
8309s	it just looked like he just had
8311s	uh one menace so it wasn't as good
8315s	makes sense
8316s	a little bit weird to see the sewer rat
8319s	taunted and with reborn because that if
8321s	you have two divine shields in front
8323s	you're never gonna get value from the
8325s	reborn oh he just uh he just did that
8328s	for economy because he wanted to pair
8330s	his units and it's the only target it's
8333s	he was he was looking to maybe triple
8335s	and get a croc or maybe a gas crawler
8338s	preferably but
8340s	if you can i mean you just put on
8342s	whatever you have on the board
8344s	fair enough yeah he probably just bought
8346s	the snake to eat it more so than for the
8348s	battlecry value
8351s	um
8352s	does he ever survive here
8356s	i think kuromon's board is like super
8358s	interesting considering his start
8361s	uh right he had the uh the double fell
8363s	back and he had the alyssa and i think
8365s	he had double at this uh
8367s	uh but if you take a look at
8369s	herman's board now you can see he sold
8371s	off his assistance
8372s	uh just just said i don't want a skill
8375s	i'm only going to scale with the feldman
8377s	i think that's
8378s	a pretty interesting decision i think he
8381s	could have
8382s	committed to the assistance but just
8384s	decided uh i'd rather just have double
8387s	mythic doubly right that's
8389s	that makes more sense for me
8391s	yeah i think it's also a bit um
8394s	combat dependent like which opponent
8396s	you're facing
8397s	because the atheist if you have some of
8400s	the really good spell crafts obviously
8402s	it's good to keep it around like the
8403s	glow scale um but without that maybe he
8406s	just kind of needed space to cycle some
8408s	other battle cries
8410s	and ended up on the myth roxas instead
8412s	for for sure now though because the
8415s	our poison player got dumbed has been
8416s	knocked out just going for the fel bat
8418s	scaling seems good enough to win the
8420s	lobby
8421s	yeah if you look at everyone's minion
8423s	types you're going to see no one's
8424s	running murloc so
8425s	that just gives you the green flag of
8427s	stats or king right now because no one
8429s	else is really contesting you so yeah
8431s	you can see for the
8433s	shutter walk triple the glow skills so
8435s	now his divine show on potentially
8437s	everything found another
8439s	fell about if he wants to continue
8440s	scaling that right so the thing about
8442s	felbat is you actually just need three
8445s	demons you don't actually want more than
8447s	three because if you run double felbat
8449s	in three units they'll they'll eat all
8450s	six units in the shop so you'll just
8452s	have a perfect way if you start running
8455s	four demons or five demons then you have
8457s	one one demony two one eat one and the
8460s	buffs aren't consolidated then you'd
8462s	rather have that especially if you're
8463s	playing uh just for stats
8467s	makes a lot of sense uh we can see that
8469s	uh caramon's also spent a lot of time
8471s	accumulating selfless and barren hasn't
8474s	hit the triple on self-list yet but
8476s	you can be sure that when he hits that
8478s	that's the final cherry on top of his
8480s	comp making sure that nothing can really
8482s	contest those poisons however against
8485s	the tokeny type um board states i don't
8488s	know if selfless baron is the way to go
8490s	but he doesn't have to worry about that
8492s	at the moment for now we have oleash
8494s	versus daffy duppy with the wind fury
8497s	huge hydra can get a lot of work done
8500s	here
8501s	oh that's actually not a good hit for
8503s	dalpy there um i really wanted to hit
8506s	something else uh there's definitely a
8508s	way to lose oh yes just like
8511s	doesn't have the best setup but just has
8514s	enough of a scam to get away with this
8516s	so really just uh
8519s	getting pretty lucky on his hips i think
8521s	and
8522s	underestimate the baby crush especially
8524s	if there are tokens on the other side
8526s	like sometimes
8528s	the gas coiler on the other side becomes
8530s	a liability if there's a crush because
8532s	it can just keep spawning these 16 16s
8535s	i i'm not a baby crush underestimator
8538s	i'm more of an overestimator
8540s	than anything i think this card does too
8542s	much a lot of the time
8546s	you just get a free 21 21
8549s	multiple times like it's not even just
8551s	once right here's another one like
8553s	here's another 16 16. i'll see
8559s	all right so oh yes takes down dapi
8562s	dappy still with a top four finish means
8565s	that is
8566s	four points right so it goes up to 16
8568s	very respectable with waterloo right so
8571s	he's getting more money
8572s	oh okay
8574s	also yeah okay so 4.5 points
8577s	yeah and those are the two top two
8579s	players right they both top four so you
8581s	can really see the consistency of both
8582s	of them still right even in the third
8584s	game they're being they're being very
8586s	safe right they're they're not going for
8588s	the first they're going for like i just
8589s	want three four points here and then
8591s	next next lobby i'll get the check so
8594s	they they have a game plan they both
8595s	executed i think uh really well
8598s	well you can already see from oleash's
8600s	facial expressions and gestures right
8602s	that he knows what's up he's facing the
8604s	shutter he's dodged for this long he
8606s	should you know be pretty happy with the
8608s	second place because that's a shutter
8610s	that hit four alley cats not much you
8612s	can do about it um
8615s	gentle reminder to everybody that a lot
8617s	of our players are also streaming their
8620s	own perspectives if you want to go and
8621s	follow along with your favorite players
8623s	just go and check out their streams uh
8627s	collins is there any way that olyash can
8630s	scan this
8632s	no
8634s	no
8634s	no okay to be okay i'm joking but if you
8637s	were actually if you actually want a
8639s	chance uh you would maybe just abuse gas
8642s	curler because gas color is
8644s	definitely a card that can turn fights
8647s	around i've seen games where
8649s	uh someone
8651s	pops a gas curler and then out comes a
8653s	whole composition right you'll have like
8655s	i've seen like
8656s	golden golden uh croc croc uh you're a
8660s	rat pack mama bear i'm just like well
8662s	not mama bear but like rat pack high man
8665s	you're just like what is going on he
8666s	just made another comp after i knocked
8669s	out the rest of his boards so i the
8671s	problem though is like
8673s	shadow walk also has a gas curler and he
8675s	also has a golden baron too so you're
8678s	not even
8679s	that likely to outplay him with the gas
8682s	cordless skin
8684s	right i mean it's crazy to me that he
8686s	found a golden bear before he found
8688s	golden selfless because either of those
8690s	he would be willing to play alongside
8692s	the regular version of the other just to
8694s	provide tons of extra shields here
8697s	um
8698s	this looks like caramel is going to very
8700s	easily take this
8702s	but there is a world where there is a
8704s	color of zephyr responds to the roy and
8706s	goes in the fell bad and the other gas
8708s	coiler doesn't do anything decent but
8710s	that world is not this one
8714s	is yeah i don't think you can get
8716s	through the golden
8718s	fell back there i think that's maybe a
8720s	little too big for
8723s	um only etch to deal with so yeah looks
8726s	like kermit's gonna take this victory
8728s	here get a clean seven points for him
8730s	looks like uh like it's it's very good
8732s	for both of these players honestly right
8734s	they did need the points and
8736s	uh kind of
8738s	not putting the lobby in check right
8740s	denying waterloo his his victory here so
8742s	that that's going to be pretty good for
8744s	both of them as well
8745s	i am very happy to see that
8747s	um the player who got the shutter passed
8749s	the test because i think that if you're
8751s	in lobby legends and if you get handed
8754s	this shutter start
8756s	you should never ever finish anything
8758s	less than first place right
8760s	yeah i mean
8762s	the first place was decided turned seven
8764s	or six right and a bit unfortunate there
8768s	i mean we all know a lot i mean a lot of
8771s	the players know uh
8773s	at high level when if the right minion
8775s	types are in like sugar is just a a
8778s	monster of menace to society and
8781s	everything it's just really not
8783s	a fun experience because you're like oh
8785s	i'm fighting each other i guess i'm
8786s	taking 15 ooh
8789s	what is it the 15 damage is out oh i
8791s	guess i'm dead right and and there
8793s	doesn't really feel like there's a lot
8795s	of counterplay to that but at least uh
8797s	it was executed properly cordon code
8800s	right he did miss
8801s	or he didn't uh
8803s	he didn't do all of his actions in that
8805s	one turn that was very critical so he
8807s	took it extra like 12 damage but you can
8810s	see from that
8811s	point onwards he didn't take a single
8813s	damage afterwards so it's just the power
8817s	of shutter walk with the right lobbies
8818s	you just get so many triples you get so
8820s	many sixes you have so much economy and
8822s	no one can really outpace you so
8825s	a pretty scary hero when the
8828s	when the minion types are correct there
8831s	and i have had my phil callings no i
8834s	will never ask for shutter walk again
8836s	for the rest of the day i'm glad that
8838s	this happened that this was um not
8841s	during check just yet but it is of
8844s	course seven points added to karamon's
8847s	total a huge difference maker he
8849s	probably leap frogs some other players
8852s	here that being said like olyash was
8854s	another one that was closest in
8856s	contention before this game to dapi and
8859s	waterloo and he also finished second so
8861s	we could have a large concentration
8864s	towards the top now of players very
8866s	closely together bunched in points but
8868s	uh
8869s	not much is changing for the bottom half
8871s	of the players i feel um continuing to
8874s	hit a bad streak unfortunately but again
8877s	this is the check format just because we
8880s	played three games in a day doesn't mean
8881s	that you have to be top four and you're
8884s	uh and if not you're out there's still
8886s	time to get to your 20 point bonus as
8888s	long as nobody's got the lobby in check
8890s	and as long as the person who has lobby
8892s	in check hasn't gotten a first place
8894s	there is still hope
8897s	yeah it's it's not really over for
8898s	anyone because
8901s	any
8903s	any player can win
8904s	like from this point as long as they get
8907s	first for the rest of the the series
8909s	they win like and that that's every
8911s	single player here if if they just get
8914s	first for the rest of the series they
8916s	win it doesn't matter where they're at
8917s	so there's always hope for any player
8920s	right you might be looking down you're
8921s	like i have like two points right but if
8924s	if you just wipe the series or wipe the
8927s	the tournament and just start afresh and
8930s	just say i just need to win the rest of
8931s	these i could win the the whole
8933s	tournament uh it's a lot different than
8936s	the other
8937s	uh than yesterday's games where if
8938s	you're in this position you're kind of
8940s	you you've played your games you're done
8942s	you can't recover here every single
8944s	player can still recover so no one's
8947s	really out yes there's going to be some
8949s	favorites right you you'd probably look
8951s	at the people at the top of the world
8952s	the top of the leaderboards they've been
8954s	doing well they've been consistent
8955s	they're they're very likely to continue
8957s	doing well very likely to continue being
8960s	consistent but it's not over for anyone
8964s	they can all still win and they just
8966s	need to you know have a little bit of
8967s	that magic a little bit at first place
8970s	and they're good to go so i'm still
8971s	rooting for everybody here
8973s	absolutely just to clarify with everyone
8976s	we are not sure whether we're going to
8978s	have eight lobbies there it could be up
8980s	to 11 and it could be less than that as
8983s	well
8984s	this is just a rough estimate because
8985s	nobody has the lobby in check just yet
8987s	but everyone from 13 points and upward i
8990s	think it was oleash at 13 and then we
8992s	have of course waterloo and dapido at
8995s	even higher point totals they all have
8997s	the potential to put the lobby in check
8999s	as early as next game i think waterloo
9002s	only needs like a fifth to sixth place
9004s	finish in order to do that so it's very
9006s	likely that we get to crunch time super
9009s	soon very very exciting stuff but before
9012s	that of course we gotta give our players
9014s	time to collect themselves and make sure
9017s	that they are ready to get as many
9019s	points as possible because three lobbies
9022s	in a day that's already as much as they
9024s	played yesterday but it could still be a
9025s	gauntlet from here on out it's gonna be
9027s	a short break don't go anywhere right
9029s	after this it is the fourth game of the
9031s	day

9627s	[Music]
9648s	hello everybody and welcome back to
9650s	lobby legends eternal night it is crunch
9653s	time now at the third ever lobby legends
9656s	we have three players on the precipice
9658s	of putting our lobby in check and then
9660s	we can really get to the exciting part
9663s	collins how are you doing
9664s	i'm doing great i mean it's been a lot
9666s	of fun just watching these people play
9668s	there hasn't been too many like
9671s	crazy things there's been that shutter
9673s	walk you know i have my own opinions
9675s	about that but we also saw the vulgen
9677s	from waterloo and we've seen dappy do a
9679s	lot of cool consistent gameplay stuff he
9682s	even won with the george as well so a
9684s	lot of cool uh strategies there not
9686s	nothing too crazy not not too many like
9688s	know me gamers i want to see a nomi game
9690s	personally but we have we have a like a
9693s	lot of good stuff pirates is also really
9695s	fun to watch and we've had that already
9697s	too so just uh know me on my checklist
9699s	needs to get that and we're good
9702s	i guess there's still one more thing on
9703s	everybody else's checklist though
9705s	because we did promise four reveals
9707s	throughout the day and there is one that
9709s	remains to be seen our last card that is
9713s	newly going to be introduced to
9714s	battlegrounds coming right up i am so
9716s	curious collins
9718s	it's a sex drive lightbringer
9720s	yeah a tier six minion battlecry set a
9723s	minions attack and held to 15.
9727s	well that's
9728s	that's interesting
9731s	okay huh
9733s	wow
9734s	so you just create 15 15.
9737s	this is abusable with cleave that's my
9738s	first leg instinct of of course like oh
9740s	my god just get 15 15 cleave pretty
9743s	easily right and so another thing about
9745s	this is you can triple it and then
9748s	uh
9749s	if you're playing jandis right you're
9751s	just like ooh another one oh another one
9756s	so that's going to be pretty cool
9757s	another thing this is this this seems to
9760s	not be friendly minion so you can target
9762s	like magnetics you can target um
9765s	some things in the shop that you want to
9767s	buff so
9768s	uh i do and it's also not a minion type
9770s	so it's gonna be in every game so
9773s	this is pretty
9775s	[Music]
9776s	playable i would say right it also it
9779s	obviously falls off the later you get
9782s	but
9783s	early game this is really really strong
9785s	just 15 15s especially on cleaves uh is
9788s	going to do a lot of work so when beasts
9790s	are in mexican mostly beasts because
9793s	beast has the easiest access to a good
9795s	cleave but elementals wildfire is also
9797s	pretty powerful but i do think this will
9799s	be played obviously the later
9802s	in the game it's gonna drop off but yeah
9804s	seems solid
9806s	yeah i love that you mentioned in
9807s	particular beasts and the fact that you
9809s	can target minions in bob's tavern
9811s	meaning that there's a hydra in the shop
9813s	let's say you have a mama bear on board
9814s	you turn it into a 15 15 in the shop and
9816s	then you buy it it gets another plus
9818s	five plus five that is pretty intense
9820s	and you mentioned jaundice as well
9821s	probably going to be a great minion for
9824s	that hero in particular and i'm sure
9826s	there's a lot of synergy we're also not
9827s	thinking about but this is so cool
9830s	another thing that jumps out to me is uh
9833s	it opens up like
9836s	uh baron protection every time right so
9839s	right now if crowbars and nages are in
9841s	you don't have easy access to
9843s	protecting your baron because you have
9845s	to go
9846s	uh green thumb scaling which you know
9848s	you don't want to do that but
9850s	now here if you
9852s	just go to six
9854s	you can put your bearing to 15 15 which
9856s	is pretty much going to guarantee that
9858s	you can also like now you can make a
9860s	buster like non-beast buster a little
9862s	bit more consistent because now you can
9864s	just protect the bear and protect the
9865s	kangaroo so yeah there's actually a lot
9867s	of synergy here that's pretty pretty
9870s	pretty good
9871s	all right so i said i've had my fill of
9873s	shutter as we enter this new game but i
9875s	was going to ask you is it worth taking
9877s	when the support minion types that
9880s	aren't beast are are not there but like
9882s	you have these but you don't have pirate
9884s	you don't have naga dappy says no it's
9886s	not worth it i i wouldn't say it's worth
9888s	it over pyramid i think pretty much is
9890s	very very
9891s	safe as a hero right it's hard to lose
9893s	or get eighth pyramid and and dappy's in
9896s	a great position that he doesn't need to
9898s	win the lobby so i think this makes a
9900s	ton of sense there i'm a bit i'm a bit
9902s	sad
9904s	that he didn't take sugar because the
9905s	more instances of hyrule shutters there
9908s	are the the the less they can just
9910s	ignore it right because we had one but
9912s	you know if you have two in a tournament
9914s	or three in a tournament it's like well
9917s	maybe we did do something you know so
9919s	this reminds me of back when oh this is
9922s	another standard comparison but bunny
9924s	hopper campaigning against elusia
9926s	basically and the casters are also in on
9929s	it you all have an agenda
9932s	but another thing to note here is
9934s	waterloo picks tamzin over reno and i
9937s	think a couple another mini uh decent
9939s	hero that i didn't quite see but it also
9942s	makes sense i think tamzin is playable
9945s	especially when dragons are in and you
9946s	can leverage the chromo wing
9949s	on a bunch of minions mechs are also in
9950s	that's a very decent way of making sure
9953s	you can get a top four and all that
9955s	waterloo needs is a 5.5 place finish i
9958s	think to get to 20 points put the lobby
9960s	in check whereas dapido needs a 4.5
9964s	finish
9966s	i do think
9967s	like dragons need to be in for tasman to
9970s	like have a good shot of like doing well
9971s	in the lobby because it chroma wings
9973s	really solid and then also tara goes and
9976s	now now is on three again it's gonna be
9977s	a lot easier to hit so
9979s	um i
9980s	not a big tamson fan but if you are
9983s	gonna pick it uh these are the options
9986s	that need to be in such essentially
9988s	dragons are what i'd be looking for
9991s	over here on valeera though this is a
9992s	very good daryl star double tokens and
9995s	he has um chromowing and but in the shop
9998s	both decent targets for the dances he
10000s	can buy that sun bacon and make sure he
10002s	isolates the good targets
10004s	yeah this is a really really good daryl
10007s	set up and it's pretty interesting right
10009s	because daryl's not really a hero you're
10010s	looking to get first with but it's a
10012s	hero you're looking at the top four
10013s	pretty easily if he's in a position
10014s	where two top fours and he's in then i i
10018s	like this play for or this pick from him
10020s	and the play as well
10022s	malia playing for the long game indeed
10024s	here he is not one of the players that's
10026s	in contention to put the lobby in check
10028s	but as you said thinking one game ahead
10030s	as well uh going to freeze the pup bot
10033s	here just settle for the crow mowing for
10036s	now do you think he should commit some
10037s	gems onto this
10039s	um he wins the fight every time so no
10042s	you don't need to commit the gems uh if
10044s	if if maybe he didn't win the fight
10046s	every time then you could argue that but
10048s	uh the
10049s	um
10051s	the kids going three on three so
10054s	you always win so it doesn't does you
10056s	don't have to waste your gems if you
10057s	know you're always going to win uh if
10059s	we're looking at the heroes this is a
10061s	pretty low
10062s	power hero lobby i wouldn't say there's
10065s	any real like
10067s	power houses in this lobby maybe gill
10070s	wing i would say might be the strongest
10072s	and then pyramid as well uh would be
10074s	maybe the two strongest in the lobby but
10076s	they're not like super dominate they're
10078s	not they're not shutter walking you know
10079s	what i'm saying so yeah
10085s	that's very true
10088s	um how do you feel about going these
10090s	days is it just spamming the middle hero
10092s	power the discover or do you often take
10095s	the level discount
10097s	um they've kind of
10098s	like going at some points had some
10101s	flexibility in what
10103s	uh it could do especially in bodybuilder
10106s	as well i i think that allowed the tier
10109s	v to have a place to shine because you
10111s	could make it a lot cheaper
10113s	but right now
10116s	there's not a lot of
10118s	other uses like the the turn one
10121s	uh
10123s	hero power isn't very strong even when
10125s	you put on a divine shield meaning it
10126s	doesn't feel that impactful of getting
10128s	another minion so it's kind of just been
10131s	relegated to be a
10133s	turn three turn three turn three or
10135s	three turn three turn three turn hero
10138s	power and i always like
10140s	think it's very weird from a lore
10142s	standpoint because what are you doing
10144s	right you're like flying to iron forge
10146s	and then like
10147s	i'm flying to iron forge again and i'm
10148s	flying to ironford like what's going on
10150s	here like what is that bird doing so i i
10153s	do think it's a bit weird but
10155s	it's a very strong hero power when done
10157s	correctly
10158s	uh bird is pumping iron obviously
10162s	over and over yeah
10167s	the grind never ends
10169s	we're gailing yeah
10172s	well uh
10173s	doppy here with a pretty good start on
10175s	pyramid the double micro mummy is
10177s	something that you would see even on the
10179s	old pyramid here he took a triple into a
10183s	two drop though which is not something
10184s	you often see but um if he didn't take
10187s	that i think there was no clean way to
10188s	get the curve and triple going
10191s	i wonder what he's looking for i guess
10193s	he's looking for the the micro mummy
10195s	triple because that's the only thing
10197s	that's because he rolled four gold away
10199s	right this turn he just wrote four gold
10201s	away and and what what rationale would
10203s	you have to do that he has to be looking
10205s	for the triple right because he already
10206s	used uh his triple for the two but now
10209s	he's like trying to come
10211s	uh guarantee the second triple maybe go
10213s	for
10214s	a four or five maybe even a six if he
10216s	doesn't take damage so spends four gold
10219s	on that does not get rewarded so he's
10221s	not happy that uh
10223s	that this turn didn't go as planned
10227s	yeah but at the very least he can still
10229s	um
10230s	meet everybody else on the tier three
10233s	with the warrior curve but
10235s	waterloo here
10238s	not a great townsend start no chromowing
10240s	that i can see there's divine shields in
10242s	the shop but not great ones that are
10244s	worth freezing when you're on tier three
10246s	what is a great tabs of stars that i
10248s	wanted to ask you it's promoing it's
10251s	growing yeah i mean even if i get like
10254s	double crowing i'm not that happy i'm
10256s	like yeah i mean but it's a direction
10258s	right if you have one giant chromo wing
10260s	and then some divine shields as long as
10262s	you can keep the health on the chromo
10264s	and kind of low and guarantee that
10266s	that's the one that you'll sacrifice
10267s	with the hero power then you can get so
10269s	much attack on the rest of your board
10271s	the thing
10272s	yeah
10274s	sorry it's a thing right even throwing's
10276s	hard because let's say he got a chrome
10278s	wing here he it
10280s	it's too healthy right because he has
10281s	minions with one health so it wouldn't
10283s	even get that target so it's it's a hard
10286s	thing to
10287s	maneuver correctly you kind of need
10288s	perfect rules for that to work out for
10290s	you so
10291s	uh tabson has its um charms but
10295s	i think it's more in the mid game once
10297s	you have a full board and you can like
10298s	start buffing pteragosas that's when you
10301s	really feel like you're playing a
10302s	powerful hero but at the moment like uh
10305s	it's not super super uh powerful
10310s	all right valeera here
10312s	with a pretty smooth daryl curve just
10314s	leveraging that pup butt to make sure he
10316s	doesn't take any damage in the early
10317s	game has good economy with the tad and
10320s	the two
10321s	alley cats on board it looks like a safe
10324s	way to potentially level to higher than
10326s	you're used to seeing with daryl
10328s	yeah
10330s	so daryl doesn't have to
10332s	[Music]
10333s	stay on three or stay on four and dance
10335s	you can actually just play standard like
10338s	basically you're playing a normal game
10339s	but now you have a 2020 divine shield
10341s	minion like that's pretty good uh but a
10344s	lot of people just like the kind of afk
10347s	i'll just down three roll for divine's
10349s	roll for deflectors roll for menace and
10352s	and uh hope it works out and and i i
10355s	respect it right because it's it's it's
10356s	significantly safer than leveling and
10358s	trying to actually play the game but you
10360s	know you don't have to stay on three you
10362s	don't have to but a lot of times it's
10364s	just the safer variant so most people
10367s	just default to it
10369s	checking in with caramon who took down
10371s	last lobby he has skycap and craig which
10374s	i actually feel is a pretty decent hero
10376s	right now um as long as you can hit a
10378s	triple right it in that sense i find it
10380s	similar to yog where you can level and
10383s	leverage that one triple um but you're
10386s	not obviously yeah they're not the same
10388s	i just said similar like the philosophy
10391s	of it obviously you don't get amazing
10393s	tempo from the minions that you get for
10395s	two gold every single turn but you save
10398s	a lot of gold in a different way just
10400s	off that piggy bank and if you hit uh
10402s	triple then you can you know find
10404s	yourself a very early five drop or even
10406s	six drop and win the game from there
10408s	uh the one issue with uh
10411s	sky captain is that
10413s	you don't have a hero power right till
10414s	you press the button so
10416s	it's different than y'all like that like
10418s	yog just is healthy but with sky captain
10421s	you're you're not healthy until you
10423s	press the button and then you have to
10424s	hope you're healthy after you press the
10426s	button a lot of times if you don't high
10427s	roll you're still not healthy and you're
10429s	just dead so
10431s	i i think it's very different you know i
10433s	they are not the same
10435s	okay okay i apologize for comparing
10438s	anyone to your one lord and savior thank
10440s	you
10441s	yog is the best
10443s	don't don't don't mess my rng yawg i i'm
10447s	i'm doing what you asked look this crack
10449s	is power leveling too
10452s	yeah
10453s	i
10454s	this is actually a really good uh board
10456s	for the crack uh to be fair like um he
10459s	did hero power so his benefits are gone
10463s	but he has a good unit in the shop and
10466s	he's pretty healthy he has direction he
10468s	has a pair if he can triple that
10471s	that 3-2 into
10473s	a six drop that's going to do a lot for
10475s	him i am kind of con uh
10478s	interested about the freeze right it it
10480s	looks like he's going for the 5 8 which
10482s	is a really good tempo card but it
10484s	doesn't give him direction at all
10486s	yeah bristleback knights it has synergy
10489s	with the green thumb at least like it's
10490s	a good target to buff with that but i
10493s	agree that the sewer rat triple is of
10496s	greater importance he still has quite a
10498s	few gold to roll down after that though
10501s	yeah
10502s	because he he he could go mama comp if
10504s	he finds a mama and he also should just
10507s	like find the triple so you are losing
10509s	that one gold in the row
10511s	um to get the bristle back which is a
10513s	good card for sure but
10515s	if you were like trying to win the lobby
10518s	guaranteed you just kind of ignore the
10519s	bristleback and just say oh i need to
10522s	hit the
10523s	uh the triple but the problem with that
10525s	play is
10526s	if you don't you die so this is
10527s	significantly safer
10530s	meanwhile for gohan though he said a
10532s	very strong tempo start with the double
10534s	high mains in there and
10536s	a little bit of scaling as well
10540s	guppy finally has this micro mommy
10543s	triple is he going for a six though
10546s	right because he could buy that sell the
10548s	uh the five five and then
10551s	go for the six so
10554s	he okay actually he is going to do that
10557s	i like the order
10561s	oh
10563s	oh
10564s	you had to sell your smuggler so the
10566s	cali feels a bit bad
10568s	is it buster i think it's buzzer i don't
10571s	believe in cali
10574s	i'm a cali believer generally but
10577s	maybe not in this position especially
10580s	since you had to sell your smuggler if
10582s	you had that smuggler
10584s	yeah it seems a lot more reasonable even
10586s	if you had the smuggler it might just
10588s	still be busted
10591s	yeah oh yeah
10592s	uh
10593s	probably taking the buster i can see the
10596s	um
10597s	the temptation
10599s	the cali but yeah buster makes more
10602s	sense especially contextualizing for
10604s	doppy in particular he needs a fourth
10606s	slash fifth place like a 4.5 place
10609s	finish here to put the lobby in check it
10611s	doesn't matter if he gets the check with
10613s	the first place or the 4.5 place because
10616s	you still need to win a whole lobby
10618s	after that so just making sure you can
10621s	get the bare minimum to get the lobby in
10623s	check is the name of the game here and i
10625s	think buster is a lot safer for that
10627s	purpose yeah in this particular board
10630s	neither of them are safe all right like
10633s	buster doesn't do that much because you
10635s	don't have a full board and you don't
10637s	have a bunch of mechs but
10639s	uh cali is even worse right so you may
10642s	as well go for the safer plan this gives
10644s	you a
10644s	better life
10646s	yeah on the next turn the buster is like
10649s	easier conditions to fulfill to make a
10651s	decent comp compared to cali because you
10654s	need dragons and you need a lot of
10655s	battle cries
10657s	yeah this is actually tie-able
10660s	um if you get the right hits yeah looks
10662s	like i'm gonna win yeah
10665s	huge for adoptee there
10667s	oh wait this is a tie oh no no no i take
10670s	them back
10671s	no worries
10676s	all right let's check in with waterloo
10677s	on the tamzin going below damage cap
10680s	here
10681s	caramond did as well apparently on the
10683s	crunch
10684s	yeah i mean they're it's not a yog
10688s	but yeah it looks like he found the
10690s	taragosa
10692s	but oh wait but it whipped oh it oh it
10695s	dodged the buff right
10698s	because it should have uh it should have
10699s	got stats but it didn't
10701s	what how does that
10703s	oh yeah yeah it only targets five right
10705s	it's not the whole board wow that's so
10707s	unlucky yeah
10710s	that's that's ridiculous double gold run
10712s	here
10713s	with a without golden mag
10715s	this is nuts
10717s	okay
10719s	gohan
10721s	is not even on camera
10723s	and he doesn't need to be
10724s	you can double sell the high means that
10726s	might be too greedy but you can double
10728s	sell the highmane buy them a car play
10730s	them a car with the global golden buff
10732s	and then you have a bunch of stats and
10734s	there's a good chance that he they go
10735s	first kill the kills the uh golden
10738s	frogger and then you get the golden bus
10740s	afterwards
10741s	that is a line
10744s	yeah it is a line uh is it good maybe
10747s	i don't i kind of like playing seven
10750s	minions
10751s	okay fine boring game i mean decision
10755s	here but probably correct i would say
10758s	because it's already really strong right
10759s	the only thing i'd be scared of is your
10761s	macaw getting an untimely snipe which is
10763s	more likely if you don't attack first so
10765s	i i wanted the mama goldwood buffs maybe
10768s	i'm being too greedy
10772s	i do agree the high mains are probably
10774s	leaving soon because he wants to isolate
10775s	the golden since the only death rattle
10778s	yeah okay tarek does not dodge the buff
10781s	this time yeah but you're only getting
10783s	three two right like that's another
10785s	difficulty with thompson with taragosa
10788s	you're only getting your lowest
10790s	uh health minions so you're not getting
10793s	that much health turn after
10796s	and it looks like he's going to lose
10798s	this fight as well is it lethal that's
10799s	the question
10802s	yeah
10803s	it very likely is
10805s	yeah and and this is why i'm not really
10808s	a tamson fan right it's so hard to
10812s	make it work
10813s	a lot of the time you need everything to
10815s	grow right for you i i said it earlier
10817s	right even if you got the chroma wing
10819s	you also need it to be the lowest attack
10821s	minion and then you need to find an
10822s	early terragosa and then you need the
10824s	hero power and not missed a one out of
10827s	five which happened to him so yeah just
10830s	a rough game for waterloo here which is
10833s	a huge disaster because all he needed
10836s	was a 56 place to put the lobby in check
10838s	but now he has to wait a whole other
10840s	game to have that potential again
10842s	whereas dapi is in very good position to
10845s	be the leader and the first one to put
10848s	the lobby in check
10850s	yeah this this is the pyramid being a
10852s	lot safer of a hero than the shutter
10854s	walk uh essentially with it with no um
10858s	with no extra economy for the beast
10860s	synergy so
10861s	i do think that makes sense it's so hard
10863s	to be last with pyramid because
10865s	getting extra health on your best minion
10868s	every turn for zero gold is so strong um
10871s	it's it's not good for getting a
10873s	direction but it's good for stabilizing
10876s	and it's good for supplementing if you
10878s	do get a direction it looks like he did
10880s	he has found one
10882s	we have two macaw players one with the
10884s	buster and dapi is in a great spot there
10887s	i like that he put the annoying module
10890s	on amalgam instead of the buster because
10893s	he is playing macaw like you can say
10894s	with divine shield on the buster it's
10896s	still not dying first but that's in the
10898s	case of no leroy starting with it so i
10900s	prefer being completely safe to make
10902s	sure the macaw gets the proc off and
10904s	then on the side of the other uh macaw
10907s	player there was two gold gems but
10909s	there's also golden leaper with baron
10911s	and i feel like that might be an even
10913s	more solid direction to go yeah he's
10915s	playing leapers i i i know he is
10920s	i i wanted to enter like to entertain oh
10923s	you know you're just switch play golden
10926s	macabre but nah he has a gold he has a
10928s	taunted golden leaper there's no way
10929s	he's not playing leapers
10931s	uh and we'll we'll see
10933s	the setup is too good uh problems this
10936s	is just such a stark contrast because
10937s	just last week i was casting dreamhack
10940s	hearthstone fest for battlegrounds and
10942s	it felt like every single lobby there
10943s	was at least one reapers player
10945s	oftentimes two to three in every single
10947s	lobby this is the first one we've seen
10950s	all weekend in lobby legends so leapers
10953s	are actually a very risky comp to play
10956s	because you need
10958s	so many pieces and especially in high
10960s	level lobbies
10962s	players are like super aware of how
10965s	strong it can be so they like tech
10967s	around it as soon as they notice you're
10968s	growing leapers we also haven't seen
10970s	that many beast lobbies to be fair like
10973s	only half the lobbies have been beasts
10975s	uh but
10977s	it's it can be punished super easily
10980s	right zaps can screw you over
10982s	uh people with nagas with when fury can
10984s	screw you over there's actually a lot of
10987s	counters to leapers these days compared
10989s	to maybe before nagas came in uh but
10993s	here is a really good leaper lobby
10996s	because there's no
10998s	there's no um naga to leave you there's
11000s	no like wind fury so no elementals
11003s	sometimes people will have like a golden
11005s	cyclone and that can screw you over so
11008s	there's a lot of safety for leapers here
11010s	so i i do think this is why you're
11012s	seeing the leaper here it's just a
11013s	really good lobby for it on top of that
11015s	quillboard are also in so you can even
11017s	protect your baron from being stopped by
11020s	putting blood gems on it so yeah you're
11022s	right all of the conditions to make the
11025s	froggers effective are in place here but
11028s	while we've been talking about all the
11031s	leapfrogger potential caravan has
11033s	actually been knocked out as well at
11035s	seventh place so
11037s	uh confirmed not a yog i have to hold
11039s	that l oh thank you that's what i was
11041s	gonna say it's not a yacht your dog
11044s	would be at least six that's what i'm
11046s	gonna say at least six okay
11049s	fair enough
11051s	uh at least six is what waterloo needed
11053s	if only a yog had had blessed him here
11057s	yeah i i just think with a sky captain
11060s	it has it has that big drawback as you
11063s	need to pop off super hard as soon as
11066s	you use your hero power if you don't pop
11068s	off when you use your hero power then
11071s	what is that hero 4 right you you spend
11074s	a lot of turns not having a hero power
11076s	taking damage and then you have this
11079s	turn where you have maybe
11080s	uh 20 gold right and then you have to be
11083s	extremely strong as soon as
11085s	you've used your 20 gold and if you
11088s	don't you're you're in big trouble and
11090s	hydra cleave was so nuts for kid took
11093s	down the croc the mama and the shield on
11095s	the mandate that is insane uh will he
11099s	get the kill here on our zephyrus player
11102s	gonna dumb it yeah
11104s	not the way but wait it is the kill
11107s	sticks exactly 18 right yeah so 20.
11112s	that's rough for goddammit i feel like
11114s	he was very unlikely to die here
11118s	really
11119s	wow i was not expecting that that death
11122s	there so
11123s	but it looks like oleash is also going
11125s	to be knocked out here he needed a first
11128s	place in order to put the lobby in check
11130s	so i don't think he was particularly
11131s	expecting it
11133s	still in a good spot to get it next game
11136s	but it looks like daffy is now
11138s	guaranteed to have the lobby in check
11140s	right with two more players going out
11143s	yeah look at these froggers uh here we
11146s	go
11147s	we everyone in chat we
11150s	i can see it
11152s	oh no
11157s	how does he have a golden frogger and a
11158s	golden golden like best of both worlds
11161s	not to mention charlie with a gamma gun
11164s	what
11165s	well he um he got two gold runes right
11168s	super early and then he had the golden
11170s	macaw right he got the goldens from
11173s	golden macaque golden leafer that's what
11175s	gave him the goldens right and it looks
11177s	like he tripled the
11179s	uh high main and then got the third
11181s	golden and then he's like well
11183s	you're saying every single triple
11186s	discoverer he hit gave him a goldrin and
11188s	the chaga he also has a chocolate
11191s	somehow so he has four triples
11194s	uh but yeah good good uh good good board
11197s	for him uh it's gonna be hard to beat i
11199s	do think um
11201s	i don't want to say this out loud but i
11203s	do think
11204s	leapers if done correctly are the best
11207s	composition in the game
11209s	you know i i don't like saying that
11211s	though but i do think that is the case
11214s	i agree like power ceiling wise there's
11217s	so
11217s	i mean if they get all the setup like
11220s	all the right things taunted enough
11222s	token spawning and the baron out of
11223s	range of zap then
11225s	there's not that much counter play
11227s	whereas you know the other super common
11229s	comps like murloc poison you can play
11231s	counter poison or token death rattles to
11234s	counter that and then against the max
11236s	you can play huge stats like apm pirates
11239s	to beat that and then the pirates lose
11241s	the poison there is a balance in all
11242s	things but the leapers transcend all of
11245s	that and that doesn't mean they leap
11247s	above all of it oh
11249s	no i mean true but yeah i hate to hear
11253s	it at least
11255s	i
11256s	i see too many leapers in lobby in in my
11259s	games and i don't want to give them the
11261s	encouragement oh colin said it's so
11263s	strong it's the best com let me force it
11265s	every game
11266s	and then i lose to it because it is
11268s	actually that strong and i'm just crying
11270s	like
11271s	god stop it i do understand we're in two
11273s	different positions here because you
11275s	have authority and battlegrounds to
11277s	actually influence what people think i
11279s	am just a caster so i can say whatever i
11281s	want feels good oh leapers are losing oh
11285s	wait it's not full leapers that's why
11289s	well what happened was that um his
11290s	leaper didn't die early so he actually
11293s	didn't get that many procs so what he
11295s	could do is just put the leaper in front
11296s	and and make sure it dies
11299s	and get out of this charlotte stuff
11300s	start playing some rat packs that's the
11302s	real way to play loopers come on
11305s	i mean that's probably better advice
11307s	than what i'm saying but you know
11309s	if he doesn't want to get out of the
11310s	chaga stuff he could just put the
11312s	leapers in front
11316s	all right
11317s	lorenda is sparing you from watching the
11319s	leap reaction any further i actually
11322s	don't mind it oh i love this i love this
11324s	one kid do you see it i love it
11327s	yes uh the golden zab just chilling in
11331s	the background just waiting till he
11333s	fights uh
11335s	the leapers he's like i'm ready for you
11337s	as soon as i fight you i'm playing it
11339s	down i love it
11341s	do you see what i see i'm a kid fan i'm
11344s	a kid fan right now let's go
11348s	does he play at this turn
11350s	and on on
11351s	probably stefan or
11353s	i can kind of see it because um
11357s	it's really good here too like it's
11360s	actually
11361s	yeah it's actually very good against
11363s	pretty much
11364s	all of the opponents
11366s	funny enough is just core it's never
11368s	leaving the comp yeah bran goes away
11370s	first
11372s	yeah the only um the only matchup that's
11374s	bad would be the daryl
11377s	but the other matchups are really really
11379s	good for
11380s	for this zap it does a lot of damage
11383s	yeah
11386s	not too uncommon to hit a golden on that
11388s	if you've been uh tier six gail wing for
11390s	a while right discover every single time
11392s	and then you have other triple sliding
11395s	you got six drops and naturally picking
11396s	them up from the shop uh in this case
11399s	though it's just going to go twice into
11402s	the micro mummy daffy plays around it it
11405s	goes four times yeah it goes four times
11407s	so it's going if he goes first he does
11409s	kill the baron
11411s	no no it doesn't right because it has no
11413s	it's 30. it's 14. yeah
11416s	yeah
11417s	oh wow it stays alive yeah
11419s	daffy has consistently just been using
11422s	the pyramid hero power to protect his
11423s	baron like not even needing blood gems
11426s	oh wait oh oh because he went because
11429s	dappy went first right the micro mommy
11431s	got above the baron attack
11434s	it's kind of funny how that works that's
11435s	so bad actually right going going first
11438s	was really bad for
11441s	him there it ends up losing because of
11442s	it so that's a really really big deal
11446s	won't die though
11448s	unfortunately
11450s	alive at two health yeah
11454s	but actually it's not that big of a deal
11456s	for daphne because he's already putting
11457s	the lobby in check i think no matter
11459s	what because he's fourth place here but
11461s	every point does matter right because
11463s	even if you don't win then it counts
11465s	your points so even if you put the lobby
11468s	in check you still need to get more as
11469s	many points as you want as you can so
11472s	that's not the champion mindset it's not
11475s	about points if you just win it
11479s	okay
11481s	if you if you get the most points you
11483s	know good chance you win as well so
11487s	fair enough
11489s	all right
11490s	valera has hung in there with the daryl
11492s	very impressively um hasn't managed to
11495s	triple this tough dust which must have
11497s	been annoying because he's had to find
11499s	gem sources every single turn before
11501s	this but it's a decent setup then adina
11503s	also has two pretty good targets i'm
11506s	really ready for this fight i i really
11508s	want to see this fight and i hope
11511s	i hope you don't let me down zap
11515s	i'm rooting for you
11517s	ready to see some frogs demolished
11520s	hopefully
11521s	uh if if i mean if if froggers win this
11525s	fight then they deserve to win so
11527s	you know
11528s	it'll be fine either way if if uh if the
11531s	frogs win then then it means that he's
11533s	set up to play around this really well
11535s	so
11536s	um it is either way i'll be a little bit
11539s	to see this many cards left in hand with
11542s	the dark gaze although like so much more
11543s	gold could be spent this turn but i
11546s	guess it's just not necessary there was
11547s	nothing that he could really safely sell
11549s	out of the mounted queen being the only
11551s	one that um looked like it could leave
11553s	the comp but of course you don't
11554s	guaranteed end on a poison so just gonna
11557s	keep it here
11559s	frogs are first
11560s	i love this i mean
11563s	i do i i like good positioning
11565s	regardless though
11567s	oh was that god he played around the zap
11571s	but he did not
11573s	play around golden zap
11576s	and and that's why um
11580s	froggers right like people don't have
11582s	this on low low elos like it's just like
11585s	who's gonna just hold for three zaps
11588s	just to deal with this one comp in the
11590s	off chance you find it's not very common
11592s	so
11593s	um usually people just have that up and
11596s	they win right because people don't
11597s	counter it but you can see how
11599s	how weak froggers looks right if the the
11602s	players check for it and that's what you
11604s	see in high-level lobbies so you don't
11606s	see too many people's forcing that
11607s	composition
11610s	casual 38 damage dealt
11612s	to the
11614s	frogger player there gohan going out in
11617s	joint third fourth alongside valeera i
11619s	think valera ending third or 3.5 as
11622s	daryl is a very decent placement pretty
11625s	much all he could expect at that point
11628s	is fun
11630s	it is fun but his um
11633s	he needs he wants to keep the zap right
11635s	so he's he he's basically has to like
11638s	lose out on gold yeah so he's going to
11640s	lose out on gold to do this but i think
11641s	this makes sense you got a golden minion
11643s	it's too strong
11646s	completely worth it
11650s	and he triple a darkest elder there's
11653s	still some gold
11654s	to spend here quite a lot of it in fact
11658s	i wonder if he's he's trying to like
11660s	empty his hand so he plays a second dark
11662s	case i think that's what he's doing yeah
11664s	okay i like this and then spend the full
11666s	time gold yeah spend the full time
11669s	oh he just oh my goodness so there's
11671s	there's a he might buy something else
11673s	instead yeah okay i like this a lot so
11675s	he's he's optimizing the gold here he's
11677s	buying something else making sure it
11679s	triples and then he plays it the golden
11681s	darkest i really like the order here i
11683s	don't think a lot of people are just
11684s	gonna do that so i like this yeah it's a
11686s	really good catch otherwise you would
11687s	have missed a break point on the on the
11691s	uh dargah's elder and missed out on
11693s	one more buff so i like that as well
11696s	roll
11698s	okay good hey he spends all the gold
11701s	but he actually needed to spend one more
11703s	goal so he technically needed to sell
11705s	the buster as well like it if we're
11707s	going to be like a little bit critical
11709s	he needed to uh
11712s	sell the buster and then double roll and
11713s	then he gets an extra proc but either
11715s	way like it's it's really good ordering
11717s	for me
11719s	the fact that there are this many stats
11721s	even after a golden zap went off is
11723s	blowing my mind but i think kid still
11725s	takes this
11726s	buster is a good car very relevant here
11732s	yeah that's a huge hit there too okay
11736s	hanging off the shield and that is going
11738s	to confirm that kid takes down
11741s	um game number four of the finals
11744s	finally gets a good result under his
11746s	belt but he's still quite some way off
11748s	of putting the lobby in check on the
11750s	flip side though dapi is our first
11752s	player putting the lobby in
11754s	i talked about it though if kid just
11757s	wins every game from here on out he wins
11759s	the tournament so
11761s	step one done step two question mark
11763s	question
11765s	i'm ready to see it but uh i really
11768s	liked that
11770s	i would say the most important card in
11772s	those last like three four fights was
11774s	that golden zap right you could see how
11775s	powerful it is just demolish the frogger
11778s	it pretty much
11780s	won him that uh mecha fight as well too
11783s	right and it and zap right i would say
11785s	is one of those interesting cards you
11787s	don't really want it early but once it
11789s	gets a late game once you know people
11791s	are playing these very specific
11793s	compositions you can see how game
11796s	changing it is right if a normal game
11799s	stays normal for the game the the
11802s	uh the leaper player wins i would say
11804s	normally but you can see you tech for it
11806s	you play around it hey now you now you
11809s	get the victory instead of the leaper
11811s	player so you'd love to see that at
11812s	least for me i love to see it personally
11814s	oh i definitely like to see this as well
11816s	we're getting so much more variety as
11818s	well and endgame comp's been a while
11820s	since we've seen uh an agon player take
11822s	it down all the way it feels like the
11824s	most dominating lobbies we've seen come
11826s	off the back of um nagas mostly
11830s	yeah
11831s	beast as well that one time with reno
11833s	and then just my evan shudder things
11835s	that can do whatever the heck they want
11836s	because they have infinite six drops um
11839s	but here we have the attempt at the
11841s	leapers and the perfect counter play to
11843s	make sure that it didn't quite happen
11845s	the real story though is all about dappy
11848s	who
11849s	chose that pyramid didn't bother trying
11851s	to get too fancy with a shutter walk
11853s	pick he realized he just wanted to be
11855s	consistent enough to get that 20 point
11858s	threshold he has crossed it and i think
11860s	he's the only player to have crossed it
11862s	so far so from here on out dappy's going
11865s	to have a target on his back because if
11867s	he wins a lobby our tournament is over
11871s	yeah
11872s	it's pretty interesting right dobby's
11874s	been very consistent right he doesn't
11876s	seem to
11877s	shoot to a greed or shoot for the first
11880s	right but he always loves to like
11882s	guarantee a top four guarantee a second
11884s	place guarantee or third place right so
11886s	very very well done from him now he just
11889s	needs to you know put on
11891s	one good game high roll a shutter
11893s	basically and and the game's over right
11896s	so
11897s	we're only on four lobbies in so it's
11899s	been pretty quick but only one in a
11901s	couple players can
11903s	uh get them to check the next turn so we
11905s	should be seeing either a victory soon
11907s	or more players in check
11909s	that is right we do have everyone from
11912s	gohan to waterloo just almost within one
11914s	point of each other and um oleash and
11917s	waterloo in particular are hot on
11919s	dappy's heels we could see so many
11921s	players enter check after this one so
11924s	dapi cannot rest on his laurels just yet
11927s	um i want to see collins some people
11929s	actually hard targeting that because i
11931s	feel like it didn't quite happen so much
11933s	in the first lobby legends um or people
11936s	didn't have the opportunity to and then
11938s	in the second lobby legends there were
11940s	three people at check-in once and you
11941s	couldn't really target three people
11943s	consistently but nowadays the sole
11946s	player in check and i can't wait to see
11948s	a difference in our little tournament
11950s	meta
11951s	yeah it's it's sometimes hard to target
11954s	players because
11955s	when you target players you do it by
11959s	making your boards
11961s	stronger now but weaker later and when
11964s	you're trying to win the lobby you're
11965s	like do i really want to do that like i
11967s	just want to win so
11969s	a lot of these players have in their
11971s	mindset i'll just win the game and then
11973s	it doesn't matter if i target him or not
11976s	but when you all do that and
11979s	he gets to do what he wants as well he's
11982s	been having better luck with bob he's
11983s	been playing better this tournament
11985s	right so you do want to
11988s	keep in mind that oh if i don't
11991s	mess with him he might just win and then
11994s	the game's over so
11996s	it's it's kind of hard to do in these
11997s	tournaments when you're trying to win
11999s	yourself but you don't want to just give
12001s	him a free game and that's what these
12003s	tour players have done in the past two
12006s	lobby legends hopefully we don't see a
12008s	repeat of that
12009s	definitely all these dilemmas and mind
12012s	games running through our players
12014s	consciousness at the moment but we are
12017s	gonna give them some time to rest a
12019s	little bit and gather their thoughts as
12021s	we enter our first games with the lobby
12023s	in check gonna go to a short break right
12026s	after this it is going to be game number
12028s	five don't go anywhere

12206s	[Music]
12226s	hello again and welcome back to
12227s	hearthstone lobby legends eternal night
12230s	we do finally have a player who's put
12233s	the lobby in check on collins dappy has
12236s	been in this spot before last lobby
12238s	legends he was one of the three players
12240s	to enter check at the same time but now
12241s	he stands uncontested is he gonna take
12244s	it down this time
12246s	honestly i i do think the players that
12249s	have been playing well are just in a
12250s	great position to continue playing well
12252s	so
12253s	they're
12254s	it i would say it's like
12256s	there's like a 10 20 chance he just wins
12258s	it here like it's not that unlikely i
12260s	think for him to do
12262s	do another
12263s	good play and he will be playing greedy
12265s	i will he well he should be he should be
12268s	playing greedy right so he would
12269s	probably be picking those high roll
12271s	heroes so
12272s	uh there's a good chance
12273s	if he survives to the late game he'll
12276s	just be in the position to win so
12278s	you do want to you know punish him make
12280s	sure he's not
12281s	being too strong but a lot of these
12283s	players are kind of playing selflessly
12284s	trying to get their own first places set
12288s	i actually agree with the 10 20 chance
12290s	because even if we just put it at him
12292s	having a straight up one in eight that
12294s	is twelve point five percent to make
12296s	sure that the game actually can end
12299s	right away but uh these pro choices are
12301s	not okay okay we're gonna have another
12303s	game guys we're gonna have another game
12305s	i'm calling him right here we're having
12307s	unless he picks you dora of course he'll
12309s	pick you dora it only matters to win for
12311s	him at this point right
12314s	it's interesting i would say
12316s	i mean
12317s	but it's it's dappy i mean i i'm i'm not
12320s	always sure okay yeah oh yes
12325s	we digging we digging
12330s	even even with this yadura pig i still
12333s	think we're there's a good chance we're
12335s	gonna have another game it's so hard to
12338s	of course
12339s	yeah to hit with your door you need the
12341s	nuts
12342s	yeah i'm not saying udar is good collins
12345s	i'm just saying that the other heroes
12347s	most likely have a better shot of making
12349s	a top four than eudora but have close to
12352s	zero percent of making first place
12354s	whereas eudora has a very high chance of
12356s	making eighth place but higher odds of
12358s	making first place
12360s	yeah and and this lobby is
12362s	a very strong lobby as well
12364s	you've got pyramid again very consistent
12366s	you have vardyn i think has can do a lot
12368s	of work maiev with the right start is
12370s	also really really strong you have
12372s	waterloo on gail wing which is also a
12374s	really really good hero you have the
12375s	safe mutinous play and then the master
12377s	win which is kind of a hyrule hero but
12380s	sometimes you just get like the nuts
12382s	i've had a game where i was playing
12384s	master win i i got alex straza level to
12387s	five double cali
12388s	like what the game's over like i was
12390s	like this is not fair so you can have
12392s	that happen here too uh big dragons
12394s	already you know hero power at the right
12396s	period even just george hero power can
12398s	be a huge hyrule as well i think master
12401s	gwen is an excellent choice um dappy
12405s	we'll check in with him on around eight
12408s	gold is generally or sorry do you think
12411s	eudora tends to finish dig on eight gold
12413s	these days they never do it on seven
12415s	right because unless you have a giga
12417s	economy start you can do it on seven um
12419s	it depends on what tier minion you want
12421s	so if you do it on seven it means your
12423s	hero powering turn one and it also means
12425s	that uh you want a four normal normally
12428s	people do it on turn six and they get a
12431s	five but you can also and this was
12434s	really popular popularized in the naga
12437s	medi you can actually
12439s	stay down a bit and and not hear a power
12441s	and then go do it on turn seven and get
12444s	a six drop
12445s	um okay you wanna high-roll that usually
12447s	you'll only do it if naga's run so nagas
12450s	aren't in so it's probably not happening
12451s	this game but
12453s	it is an option if you really really
12455s	want to value that kind of triple
12459s	i'd like to start from kid here he held
12460s	on to the rockpool hunter because you
12462s	know he knew he was going to buy another
12464s	swamp striker so getting a bit greedy
12466s	here just take a little bit of damage so
12468s	he can eke out even more buffs on that
12470s	second striker freezes for the triple
12472s	and has a solid direction as early as
12476s	now um
12477s	moving over to caramon who's his
12479s	opponent on the mutant sorry valera
12482s	three people are going three on three
12484s	right the pyramid the vardan and the
12486s	going so a lot of people going for the
12488s	high road they want to get the first
12490s	place so that the
12491s	dappy doesn't win here so i like this i
12494s	like to see this
12495s	it's not um targeting him in the way of
12498s	playing temple but just trying to roll
12500s	higher than him which also is a way you
12503s	can approach it i suppose
12505s	i i i kind of love it because it's it's
12509s	just empty parts
12510s	it's like i'm not playing around that p
12513s	what i'm gonna do is just win the lobby
12515s	myself it's such a like competitor
12517s	mindset like i don't care about this guy
12519s	i'll just win and then and then and then
12522s	it's fine you know so i really like
12524s	these decisions what a good hit for
12525s	vorden there by the way double
12529s	double bronze warden is sick yeah making
12531s	sure i mean getting the roll of the copy
12533s	on the dragon instead of the murloc was
12535s	huge um i like that he buys it instead
12538s	of trying to freeze it in the shop and
12540s	triple it because i feel brunsward and
12542s	it has a lot more utility as two
12543s	separate minions instead of a triple
12545s	especially with the quillboard and the
12547s	chance to find gem splitter yeah he
12549s	didn't have a he didn't have like a good
12551s	alternative there like there wasn't a
12552s	better minion and double bronze warden
12555s	like pretty much wins you most fights
12558s	um
12559s	at this stage of the game
12561s	well
12562s	there's a lot of players that are
12563s	playing heavy tempo so he probably
12565s	there's not he's not guaranteed to win
12567s	but normally you would be doing really
12569s	well
12571s	well early pick of gem splitter without
12573s	any shields is of course kind of reliant
12576s	on how bob will treat you in the next
12578s	fights but i still um favor that pick
12580s	here because it can be solid direction
12583s	later on and we already see that the
12585s	mindset here is not necessarily trying
12587s	to out tempo dapi but to roll higher
12590s	than him friend yeah only actually also
12593s	getting a pair on pyramid
12595s	it's like a mirror match in terms of
12598s	stats
12599s	uh unfortunate though one has nine
12601s	attack and one has five so that's gonna
12603s	be the difference maker only taking
12604s	three though so it's not too bad and he
12607s	is in a decent spot uh not the best
12610s	units for direction but still a pair can
12613s	triple that
12615s	oh pretty solid shop to double by and
12617s	dig if he wants
12620s	but is this already the last egg i'm not
12622s	even sure okay if he's doing it it must
12624s	oh it's not okay no no he's going for
12626s	the six but he's doing it a different
12628s	curve
12629s	all right yeah so next our new level
12632s	cell and press the button get a random
12634s	golden minion anywhere from tier one to
12636s	tier five and then discover a six i like
12639s	it i'm just very concerned that dappy is
12641s	still somehow at 41 while doing this
12644s	yeah
12645s	what was his curve because how do you
12648s	i'm actually confused how he's in that
12650s	position so so healthy i guess he fought
12653s	some people that leveled to three yeah
12657s	that would explain it because normally
12659s	with that curve you've taken like 10
12661s	extra damage here you're probably on
12663s	you're probably on 30 and then you take
12665s	like 12 here and then you're like on 18
12667s	in that position but he's at like a 40
12669s	and and might just take like you know 10
12673s	damage here so he's gonna get us six at
12675s	30 health and stuff like 18 is what
12677s	normally happens that's crazy people are
12679s	just kind of letting him do maximum
12682s	strength eudora but but this is what
12684s	happens when everyone's game plan is to
12687s	hyrule right you
12689s	everyone gets there and then it's like
12691s	oh
12692s	who hired harder than me right so
12695s	you just hope that
12697s	he's not the highest high roller in the
12699s	game all right well obviously outside of
12702s	just the discover on the six it matters
12703s	a lot exactly what golden minion he gets
12707s	i have seen many crazy things in my day
12709s	collins what's it gonna be
12711s	yeah so he sells hero powers is he going
12714s	to get a golden five like this is a big
12716s	deal
12721s	it's a rock
12722s	okay i guess there are dark gays elder
12724s	in here that's i don't think you can
12726s	yeah i don't think you can take anything
12727s	else does he freeze the bunker you think
12730s	or not good enough okay he does
12732s	a bunker is good enough um
12735s	fortunately you need to buy something in
12737s	one roll so he could not freeze it and
12740s	then buy something next turn but i think
12741s	bonkers just to guarantee because you
12743s	need to buy it before you're you use
12745s	five gold so
12747s	you need to you either have to buy roll
12749s	or roll buy because if you roll roll by
12752s	then
12752s	um
12753s	that's five gold and you won't get the
12755s	extra gem and from this point very
12758s	unlikely that he will continue to dig
12760s	right or at least only if he has a spare
12762s	gold
12763s	yeah
12764s	i don't think he needs the dick anyways
12766s	he's on tier five with a direction so
12769s	um hopefully as long as he doesn't take
12771s	too much damage he might be able to
12772s	recover it it is a bit weird having two
12775s	minions right it's not the strongest
12777s	minions as well he would like if if he
12779s	really wanted to win he needed that
12782s	um dig to give him a really powerful
12785s	golden minion like if he got a golden
12787s	quillboard exactly right like uh like a
12790s	bristleback knight
12792s	yeah you might actually just went from
12793s	there right like that's all you need so
12795s	uh unfortunate molten rock gold is not
12797s	really a good direction for his comp but
12799s	maybe he'll be able to recover
12802s	oh god dumb it's been a while since we
12805s	looked at me oven he has hit a triple
12807s	into a five
12809s	but doesn't have any other triples
12810s	frozen in this shop here i think he
12813s	lagged honestly i think he lagged and
12815s	didn't get to play his gems because i i
12817s	think that might have happened because i
12819s	i do think that's a good enough minion
12821s	to play your gems on so yeah fortunately
12823s	for him he didn't take damage but that
12825s	might be why he might be feeling
12827s	frustrated on his
12829s	screen right there all right loki
12831s	everybody grateful to valeera for
12833s	dealing a lot of damage to dapi here um
12836s	care of those hardened pairs you go for
12839s	the roll here
12841s	yeah i like it it makes sense
12844s	get another minion if you're gonna roll
12845s	anyway oh wait he's not i thought he was
12848s	gonna refresh straight away
12850s	he's settling
12852s	yeah gonna go for is he gonna sell hero
12853s	power
12855s	oh no me know me i ow man i'm a kid fan
12858s	let's go nomius know me gamers in chat
12860s	any normie gamers in chat i'm i'm over
12863s	here
12864s	take it i have to be honest collins you
12866s	have mentioned know me so many times but
12868s	i feel from most of the other streamers
12870s	i've been watching in the recent meta
12873s	that they feel like nobody's a bit too
12875s	slow unless you're like reno or
12877s	something that can immediately get two
12878s	of it or a golden of it online single
12881s	know me feels
12883s	not the best right now watch him take
12885s	the no means and steamroll the
12887s	competition i'm ready for it if he takes
12889s	the mirrors on here i'm going to be so
12891s	sad because i'm like hyping it up so
12893s	much
12895s	but but it's your honest opinion that
12897s	nomi is good right now even it's it's
12899s	playable it it's it's definitely
12901s	playable like um especially if uh
12905s	there are no other like really easy
12907s	scaling uh like so things like naga's
12910s	right like if nagasu and norgami kind of
12912s	doesn't do that well uh well he's really
12915s	spending his whole turn really thinking
12916s	do i want to buy this know me or not
12918s	like he's really like do i want to
12919s	commit here
12920s	really spend his whole turn here if he
12923s	doesn't take it now i don't think it's
12924s	ever going to be good like if you get
12926s	nomi any later than nine gold i just
12928s	feel it's straight up unplayable
12931s	he he is playing um
12934s	uh
12936s	tests right so tess can like steal
12938s	elementals from
12939s	the opponent and he's super healthy so i
12942s	i mean i think like if you are going to
12944s	play nobody this is the
12946s	though
12947s	to do yeah the setup for it for sure
12953s	think the test ends up losing there yeah
12956s	all the time yeah most of the time it
12958s	could also tie
12960s	and duffy down to six
12963s	lobby looking safe for now
12967s	i mean he needs to sell here
12968s	[Music]
12969s	oh he did oh you're right i mean it's a
12971s	1-4 it's not a big deal yeah yeah
12975s	yeah he needs to fill his board really
12977s	badly
12978s	even then though it's gonna be rough
12984s	oh yeah bristle bristle yeah that's a
12987s	good one
12990s	and then he could double
12992s	spend five right after well actually i
12994s	don't know what break point the elder is
12996s	on right now but double sell for seven
12998s	seems good yeah
13000s	i like that as well
13006s	honestly he could buy any of those cards
13009s	in the shop and it would be arguable
13011s	yeah
13012s	that's funny
13014s	but i think the seven makes the most
13015s	sense
13018s	look cali
13020s	i have no idea what the rest of the
13022s	board is we see a tempest and a scally
13025s	he has scallions yeah oh miss eliza here
13029s	yeah eliza would be insane
13035s	the cali for an eliza
13039s	i mean the board is a really good cali
13041s	board right there's a presser there's an
13043s	amalgam dawn there's a n.33 buff for
13046s	your amalgam so
13048s	uh
13049s	it should be fine what he really needs
13051s	is to triple the scally into our second
13053s	cali and then i think he
13054s	is pretty set up to do really well in
13056s	the lobby
13060s	thanks gally into cali
13062s	unfortunately he's not it's looking bad
13065s	looking real bad here
13067s	yep
13069s	daffy is gonna try again next lobby
13073s	yeah this is this is maybe one of the
13075s	unfortunate things you die at hero
13077s	select like you do alright
13079s	no but for real like you do in these
13081s	lobbies it's so risky right he had that
13083s	one shot he needed his triple to be
13086s	really good but
13087s	uh
13089s	he it wasn't right like he just got a
13092s	six seven right and a two four or a four
13094s	eight and a six seven it's not good
13096s	enough and you just take so much so much
13098s	damage from that point on you die so
13100s	yeah just it's a rough it's a rough one
13103s	like if he had a better hero maybe he
13104s	had a better shot but sometimes bob just
13107s	doesn't give you those like premium
13109s	options and you just have to do what you
13110s	can we gotta clarify he
13113s	walked into the graveyard at hero select
13116s	but he only actually died after the date
13119s	gave him up
13121s	okay okay sure that that that's actually
13124s	true
13124s	[Laughter]
13126s	i still hope you know
13128s	we've seen hyrule eudora games everybody
13130s	every one of you streamers has that
13132s	youtube video at least one of them right
13135s	yeah
13136s	you're right you're right i would say he
13138s	walked into the green red is is more is
13140s	more poignant for sure
13145s	there's a two five
13147s	there is a two-five
13150s	um
13151s	and gohan's facing doppy's ghost should
13154s	be feeling very safe yeah and he sold
13156s	his scally pair so he's not even he
13158s	doesn't even have the option to go for
13160s	the second kelly that way so i think you
13161s	just saw the skelly
13163s	um and then
13165s	coin and just play the two five and then
13167s	maybe just play the prester or the promo
13170s	and then next turn try to pop off
13172s	because you're getting two coins anyways
13174s	yeah
13175s	the next turn he gets out of the briny
13178s	right and then that's the slot for the
13180s	battlefield yeah you know i don't know
13182s	that's two that's two goals a turn like
13184s	i don't know if you keep it one more
13186s	turn
13187s	what else are you selling uh you can
13190s	tell i'm a greedy player yeah you saw
13192s	the brighty fish
13200s	a
13201s	close-ish fight
13204s	uh is it though i think the nomi the
13206s	nomi has so much stats it probably just
13209s	knocks out the rest of the board
13212s	yeah if the tough tusk and value trade
13215s	know me and something else okay okay
13217s	oh wow okay he's not dead
13221s	i think he had a very high chance of
13223s	dying
13225s	yeah possibly
13229s	instead though has a lot of gems to work
13231s	with and is the next two
13233s	sort of feast on
13236s	topi's uh
13238s	that body it looks like
13240s	that's very good
13242s	i know i'm sorry i had nowhere to take
13244s	that analogy once i started it i
13246s	couldn't pivot the whole walked into the
13248s	graveyard thing is still stuck in my
13250s	mind
13251s	yeah all right
13252s	again
13254s	yeah yeah yeah i think this is a pretty
13257s	solid again setup you go from um
13261s	the thing is he wants to wait right he's
13263s	he's being a little greedy here because
13265s	he wants to triple so he can't really
13267s	sell his uh
13269s	can't really sell his uh
13271s	his gambler so
13273s	you just i guess you just hear a power
13275s	of the one two
13276s	and then next you take your trip you get
13278s	your six and then hopefully that gives
13279s	you like super clear direction and then
13281s	if not you go again set up
13285s	meanwhile for valeera here feels like
13288s	this is the first uh dawn grasp game
13290s	that we've seen working out well for
13293s	that player there's been many attempts
13295s	but the market's been clocking out early
13297s	this is not going well look at these
13299s	triples this is not going well at all
13302s	for this okay
13303s	look at the health total though
13306s	yeah that's true he has oh he has a
13309s	golden brand okay i take that back yeah
13311s	he this is going fantastic golden brown
13315s	uh
13316s	really really people in the shop yeah
13318s	yeah you know what you sold me you sold
13320s	me yeah
13325s	it is a little interesting because
13328s	you wanna i i would say with golden
13330s	brand you wanna play murlocs if murlocs
13332s	are in la and he does have it but he's
13334s	like still menagerie which isn't exactly
13337s	what i would be looking for
13339s	yeah
13340s	if he finds an aggram i think it's a
13342s	very
13343s	viable options though especially with
13344s	the golden run
13346s	but perhaps what he commits to will be
13350s	heavily informed by what the next six
13352s	drop is
13354s	we'll see shortly
13356s	actually surprised the test lost there i
13358s	i thought the with that huge like golden
13361s	cyclone it would be able to deal enough
13362s	damage but yeah just having the scaling
13365s	with the gold with the light fang was
13367s	good enough to get in there
13369s	all right
13370s	oh wait he actually did sell out of a
13373s	gambler oh he did
13375s	well he wanted the stats so i i i
13378s	understand it it it feels bad though but
13380s	this is the safe play to not die there
13383s	you could see dumb it's a 10 so
13386s	wasn't he at like 20 something though so
13388s	did he just take 15 or 16 anyways
13392s	bit rough
13393s	yeah
13395s	everyone with the wins here doesn't find
13397s	what he was looking for so many people
13400s	with a quillboard engine one way or
13402s	another either ground shaker or agum
13405s	eliza seems okay though right you do
13407s	have the the uh
13410s	the peggy right and the amalgam
13413s	so maybe that's good enough
13416s	the banner bar
13418s	like
13419s	it looks like it's a good jumping target
13421s	but it's really the only thing that's
13423s	giving gems at the moment so he has to
13425s	keep that around i feel
13428s	yeah
13428s	i mean he doesn't have divine shields
13430s	there's not really anything he's
13432s	chomping on
13433s	he could get the knight if he wants to
13436s	risk that uh stat but
13439s	maybe just like
13441s	eats the rock or something
13443s	not a great board for him yeah jug and
13446s	then jug
13451s	it's
13452s	he said it nice it's it's uninspiring
13456s	right like this isn't going to
13458s	like he could just die here honestly
13461s	um yeah the eliza doesn't have that much
13463s	synergy there's no scaly there's no
13465s	barren synergies um and his his boy just
13468s	kind of just rely oh my god is we're
13470s	just kind of relying on the
13472s	uh the earth shaker to give him the
13474s	stats but it's not like super crazy
13477s	stats that he's getting from the earth
13478s	shaker since he doesn't have gem
13480s	intergeneration so kind of
13482s	not the strongest port here live though
13485s	yeah i think the seven always dies
13487s	um it will get its poison though
13491s	uh it could live if it goes onto the
13493s	bristle back there
13494s	um oh that's true
13497s	but
13498s	paramount still lives yeah that's
13499s	actually a lot closer than i thought
13502s	i do agree ooh someone has an ice block
13504s	oh that's master win yeah well it's
13507s	really raging out there
13510s	you got an ice block this turn correct
13512s	because we saw him last turn without the
13513s	ice block
13514s	yeah i just got it recently
13518s	big big deal
13520s	um just to recap the points before this
13523s	lobby resolved we had waterloo at 17.5
13527s	oleash at 15.5 so waterloo
13530s	needs uh 2.5 points basically a
13535s	sixth
13536s	a joint 56
13538s	yeah it's the same right because you got
13539s	zero last time and then oleash needs uh
13544s	either third
13545s	3.5
13546s	to get into check after this
13550s	yeah everyone is like 12 health
13553s	and then there's there's the vardan at
13554s	35 like just doing doing really well
13557s	it's pretty interesting
13562s	yeah it's the power of golden brand and
13565s	you can see he's like slowly
13566s	transitioning to murlocs kind of he has
13569s	the golden um
13570s	for gurgle
13572s	uh the one thing that pains me though is
13574s	there's no gem for this bristleback
13576s	brood
13577s	look at him he's just begging for the
13579s	plus six plus six
13582s	be fair he probably wants to know me i'm
13584s	not a necrolight just like that
13586s	and he can sell that i i know i'm too
13589s	nomi centric i know i know
13594s	speaking of gnomes yes
13598s	but hey the test is actually doing
13601s	decent has a pretty big board here very
13603s	respectable um tripled that cyclone on
13606s	the left and found a new one which is
13608s	great
13609s	with elementals you get to a certain
13611s	point especially when murlocs are in
13613s	that the only elementals you want to buy
13615s	are cyclone and wildfire everything else
13619s	is a bit too vulnerable to poison but
13620s	yeah that snipe on the divine shield was
13623s	kind of unfortunate for kid and it means
13626s	that caravan gets to live to see another
13628s	day which is huge because paramount is
13631s	currently at 13 points if he wins the
13634s	lobby he can put everyone in check as
13636s	well
13637s	there's someone finding an answer to
13639s	deal with the
13640s	golden brand uh vardon here so that's
13644s	pyramid olyach on the pyramid being able
13646s	to deal with the vardan so what board
13648s	state does he have oh he has a golden
13650s	selfless that's probably the difference
13653s	maker there giving divine shield to two
13655s	of his units as well as the
13657s	ground shaker gems buff
13661s	yeah it's impressive that you can get
13662s	that many stats on a board that's this
13665s	unassuming but that's the power of
13666s	ground shaker um at this point he
13669s	probably continues staying on tier 4
13671s	just trying to triple that ground shaker
13673s	right
13676s	oh okay never mind well he doesn't have
13679s	two pairs uh but i i'm more wondering
13681s	what he's looking for because i actually
13683s	don't
13684s	know what you're transitioning into the
13686s	one thing i could see is more murlocs of
13689s	course and the other thing would be a
13691s	bear a baron right to just get more
13693s	divine shields so those are the only two
13695s	things you'd see the murlocs you don't
13697s	really need to level
13699s	uh the baron i guess you do need to
13701s	level so maybe that's why he did level
13702s	but there's not a lot more he could do
13705s	he's selling his 44 44 for this wow okay
13709s	over the 9 8 i am i'm shocked honestly i
13712s	thought the bronze warden was gonna go
13714s	bye-bye but he really
13716s	values the gem generation i guess from
13718s	the splitters yeah he values the jump
13721s	generation and he values the divide
13722s	shield as well right because it's two
13724s	instances of 20 20 20 something damage i
13728s	need things that's gonna be better than
13729s	one instance of like 60 damage even
13732s	though it has 40 health
13734s	kind of interesting i don't know if i
13736s	oh no didn't get to finish playing all
13739s	the gems here and he's going to get
13741s	gould that's a big deal
13744s	oh but the ghoul goes off before the
13745s	selfless which is also a big deal
13749s	okay a little lucky there so at least a
13752s	little bit lucky to kind of counteract
13754s	some of the unluckiness with uh
13757s	being able to play all the gems and he
13758s	gets the poison on the amalgam so
13760s	actually things worked out perfectly for
13762s	him he's like oh i'm i didn't get
13764s	punished i'm so good
13766s	like i love it
13769s	well
13770s	that's not what his facial expression
13772s	says but sure let's go with that that's
13774s	what goes on in my head you know oh i
13776s	think
13777s	i'm so good
13779s	all right so it's been a long time since
13781s	anybody else after dappy has died
13784s	but it's karamon going out here so no
13786s	chance for him to put the lobby in check
13787s	he's only gotten one more point so needs
13790s	a good finish next game as well to put
13792s	the lobby in check
13794s	uh
13795s	kid
13796s	meanwhile very close to tripling this
13799s	recycling wraith
13802s	i'm rooting for the nomi player so i
13804s	hope he hits everything he's looking for
13806s	and just like oh yeah we're good
13808s	um but yeah he he does need to find a
13811s	triple here it's a big deal
13813s	uh he might end up having to sell
13817s	but you don't want to sell the know me
13819s	you don't want to sell anything really
13824s	yeah but it looks like he will
13826s	he could sell these 27
13829s	26 play the party and then sell the no
13831s	me end on the 41-44
13834s	i can also just play another leroy and
13836s	we don't want to bother with that
13841s	but yeah good job i think it's time to
13842s	get rid of the nomi he has to just scrap
13844s	for another placement and play as strong
13847s	on board as possible
13853s	ordering a little bit wrong but it's
13855s	fine like you missed the 1-1 stats but
13858s	you know who cares
13864s	i think okay
13865s	all gems played for waterloo here he has
13868s	an enormous dynamic duo
13872s	and it just gets one shot oh one health
13876s	that's that's actually such a relevant
13878s	break point if not for the pyro spawn
13880s	sticking around right okay but it
13882s	actually still gets to attack so yeah
13884s	huge
13886s	[Applause]
13888s	the dragons are still too big though
13891s	yeah right yeah
13894s	okay waterloo
13897s	getting knocked out in
13899s	sixth place did he might tie though he
13902s	might tie though if he tied somebody he
13904s	puts the lobby in check okay he did okay
13906s	waterloo i think it's at exactly 20
13909s	points now
13911s	all right well done he he did his job
13914s	right that's all you need so
13916s	uh pretty good for him there
13919s	all right yeah but now now that we're
13921s	seeing this cali this cali is a problem
13923s	this cali player uh he got online uh we
13926s	don't love i mean we love to see it if
13928s	you are
13929s	a gohan fan here right this is exactly
13931s	what he's looking for the one thing he
13932s	needs is a nadina right once he gets to
13934s	nadine i think he's pretty much locked
13936s	in the game
13937s	um unless
13940s	but tesla know me so you can't really
13942s	outscale the the kelly anymore so yeah i
13944s	i think uh
13948s	there's there's a good chance that if
13949s	they find an adina that that they've
13952s	kind of locked in that game though
13954s	contextualizing a bit more both kid and
13956s	gohan have no chance to put the lobby in
13958s	check right now but oliash simply needs
13962s	a 3.5 place and he's very close to
13965s	getting that to put the lobby in check
13966s	and valeera needs at least a second so
13968s	we could have
13970s	at most like another three players
13972s	putting the lobby in check i want to say
13975s	something that makes me very very sad
13977s	the varden sold the golden brand
13980s	oh
13981s	i am sad too
13983s	yeah
13984s	close your eyes
13986s	i wasn't looking why'd you have to bring
13988s	it up i wouldn't have noticed because i
13989s	was looking at the points quality
13992s	i know i just i mean it hurts me so i
13994s	had to mention that he sold the golden
13996s	brand
13998s	uh
14000s	for some stupid leeroy's like that was
14003s	even good like oh my yeah
14006s	yeah it just kills it dang selfless code
14012s	uh
14013s	kind of sucks for valera that both the
14015s	leroys are not even killing divine
14017s	shielded minions
14019s	yeah really gets punished for selling
14021s	that brand you know maybe next time
14023s	he'll think twice about it
14026s	but honestly that um that bristle back
14029s	was huge yes
14031s	uh could tie here no no he went to he
14034s	went to ncm too much health on the
14036s	second
14037s	and kills him actually wow what a lucky
14039s	fight
14040s	uh
14041s	they're killing olyach here i'm gonna
14044s	say something you won't like
14046s	okay
14047s	it was correct saw the prince no no no i
14050s	can't really reward it no he wasn't
14052s	rewarded he was punished he was fine as
14054s	i say tears rolling down my eyes how
14056s	could you sell my brand
14058s	that's a heartbreaker for oleash because
14061s	he is .5 points short of putting the
14063s	lobby in check right now if my count is
14066s	correct uh meanwhile valeera one more
14069s	placement he just needs one other person
14071s	to die and he also enters that 20-point
14074s	threshold it's also a heartbreaker for
14076s	brand lovers now you're getting people
14078s	they're like oh it was correct to sell
14080s	the brand but you know the truth you
14081s	know that brand is always on the board
14083s	till the end of the game you know you i
14086s	stand with brand here but yeah probably
14088s	correct unfortunately grandstands yeah
14090s	hashtag brand stance
14093s	uh
14095s	euro power and see if you get something
14098s	relevant if not you can sell it and take
14100s	the mantid
14102s	yeah that's the thing you got you saw
14104s	the acolyte take them leroy
14106s	oh leroy sell the acolyte take a mantis
14109s	he was pretty good yes
14112s	very powerful stuff yeah the one issue
14115s	right is that he doesn't have the the
14117s	nadine which is what we've been talking
14119s	about if he had the nadine i think he
14121s	just wins the lobby out right and he's
14123s	probably been rolling for that but just
14125s	didn't hit it and uh this is a pretty
14127s	good replacement like leroy and manted
14130s	uh but not the guaranteed win that a
14132s	nadine would bring
14135s	this is such a crucial fight to
14138s	determine if anybody else is putting the
14140s	lobby and check gohan might be um
14143s	dappy's best friend honestly because
14145s	tapi is gonna be happy if he's still the
14147s	only one uncontested going into the next
14150s	game
14151s	all these leroy players
14153s	is killing things for free with shield
14155s	oh so strong so good oh
14160s	one shield oh
14162s	it just dropped a mountain oh my
14165s	goodness valera is knocked out also
14169s	just a point short of putting the lobby
14172s	in check
14173s	that's not fair
14175s	that's not okay
14177s	what that's not fair
14180s	free poison what
14184s	my ex is back in the game guys like who
14186s	is it i can't believe this
14188s	um but hey tess
14190s	test second huh no me no me stats rise
14194s	up you know test second place
14196s	maybe first
14197s	copium for sure but it could happen i
14200s	mean this is also your prophecy about
14203s	kid he won last lobby he could win this
14206s	lobby
14207s	he was gonna win every lobby from here
14209s	on out
14210s	and make a giant amalgam yeah
14214s	dino malcolm's okay the problem is like
14216s	the opponent has um
14219s	divine shields and he has he has leroy's
14221s	as well but i i still think you make it
14223s	ooh nadine is actually
14225s	pretty good right because you play the
14227s	second amalgam as well and then you
14228s	nadina first
14230s	i actually like this a lot of the
14231s	recycling yeah
14236s	oh wait it's already golden my bad
14239s	it's interesting right because um
14242s	you could still take it
14244s	uh but i don't know if it's more
14246s	relevant than a leroy like another
14248s	cyclone here
14251s	i mean you wouldn't play it right um
14254s	unless you're selling the leerer as well
14256s	i do think you want to play the nadina
14258s	though i do think so too so wouldn't you
14260s	sell a leroy to make room for the nadine
14262s	or would you sell the other cycle okay
14264s	okay yeah he sold one
14266s	so he saw the amalgam he saw the magum
14268s	so he bought that amalgam and just like
14270s	you know what never mind
14272s	i'm just gonna sell it immediately right
14274s	after it's kind of interesting but it
14276s	still hits divine shield on the mounted
14278s	which is huge this leroy is gonna take
14280s	down the taunted terragosa wow the order
14283s	is perfect yes it is
14286s	uh it's still win right yes
14291s	and nomi gamers win the lobby i told you
14294s	by the way good job kid for picking the
14297s	know me i love it i love to see it so
14299s	i'm really happy about this
14301s	uh you are doubting to know me come on
14303s	it's easy first place not even close i i
14306s	was telling you what i heard from other
14308s	streamers and asking your opinion you
14311s	gave your opinion it was justified
14313s	congratulations collins i mean kid
14315s	congratulations kid
14317s	for winning single lobbies back to back
14319s	he's running back the dream is real i
14322s	think what went wrong was when you
14323s	started listening to other streamers
14325s	that weren't me you know
14326s	yeah
14328s	they don't have educated in their name i
14330s	should have known better
14332s	to be fair i mean ken did play that
14334s	really well from the position he was in
14336s	right he's putting out really really
14338s	unnecessarily long time you know picking
14340s	that know me but he did pick it and he
14342s	committed to it and you can see he was
14344s	rewarded gets a first place here
14346s	double first place in a row right so you
14348s	can really see like the skill level like
14350s	when you have longer tournaments right
14353s	if this was just like a three-game
14354s	tournament everyone'd be like oh kid
14355s	yeah he had a bad day he didn't do that
14357s	well but you can see the more time you
14359s	give the more games you you give these
14362s	players the more they can showcase their
14363s	skill and you can really see it there
14365s	from kid there ample size is important
14369s	uh collins your prophecy is coming true
14372s	i'm actually so excited to see if kid
14374s	can actually overtake the likes of
14377s	oleash and karamon who are quite close
14379s	to getting the lobby in shaq for a long
14382s	time already and just be there before
14384s	them but um he's gonna have to contend
14386s	with at least two players still because
14388s	i think now waterloo and daki have
14392s	achieved that
14393s	check threshold and the stakes are
14395s	getting ever higher as we enter game
14398s	number six um all of these calculations
14401s	i've been doing are just mental though
14403s	so i could have made many mistakes i
14404s	probably did we're gonna wait for the
14406s	final standings soon um
14409s	it's just getting so nervous now are we
14412s	gonna see people going for weird pics
14415s	again like eudora
14417s	uh i mean i think in that that's why you
14419s	always take your door there even though
14421s	you're not happy about it it's just like
14423s	the they
14424s	that there was no option the hero
14426s	selection math is right i'm shocked okay
14429s	i'm just saying kid did step one he's
14432s	done step two step three question mark
14434s	question god
14436s	you just need there's only two more
14438s	steps left right like if he wins the
14439s	next one and the next one he's done yes
14442s	oh true he's halfway there
14445s	oh man this is so rough for oleash and
14447s	valeera they are so close to just having
14449s	to win a lobby but the difference
14451s	between not being at 20 is even if they
14453s	take first place and they go up to 26.5
14457s	points the tournament is still not over
14459s	and that championship can still slip out
14461s	of their grasp so for those players um
14464s	you know even gohan is kind of in that
14467s	boat um they still need to get um a few
14470s	more points to put the lobby in check
14472s	but it's really only dappy and waterloo
14474s	currently that can end the tournament
14477s	this is only
14478s	there's only one player that can't put
14480s	the lobbying check and that would be
14482s	dumb it there unfortunately but every
14484s	other player as long as they get first
14486s	they're gonna put the lobby in check so
14488s	uh it's getting real close right it
14491s	it is kind of hard to
14493s	not you know like to not have a lot of
14496s	people in check once you get into like
14498s	turn game six game seven right a lot of
14500s	players start getting the lobbies in
14502s	check so we
14503s	we are getting close down so wire a lot
14505s	of people are now eyeing the two players
14507s	and checking me like we just gotta avoid
14509s	it but i think we'll see more of what
14511s	happened this lobby where
14513s	instead of denying other players they're
14517s	just going to try to hyrule and get the
14518s	first place themselves so uh hopefully
14521s	we'll see like more interesting games
14523s	right tess with single know me winning
14525s	the lobby is pretty rare i would say
14528s	double know me would be more more likely
14530s	but
14531s	that's sometimes that's all you need
14532s	when everyone's trying to high roll and
14533s	they falter
14535s	that is true and it's not as though
14536s	there were any other elemental players
14538s	he kind of just leveraged the test to
14539s	help him find triples and strong minions
14542s	as necessary the leroys as necessary and
14544s	i think that showed some very good play
14547s	we are going to go to a short break for
14550s	now as we let our players get ready for
14553s	game number six the stakes are doubly
14556s	high because now both davi and waterloo
14558s	have the lobby in check and we have so
14560s	many players thirsty to get that last
14563s	couple points to get their chance at
14565s	ending the tournament as well don't go
14567s	anywhere right after this lobby legends

14768s	thanks again for joining us here at
14770s	lobby legends eternal night the third
14773s	ever iteration of hearthstone
14775s	battlegrounds lobby legends where we
14777s	have just finished the fifth game of the
14780s	day collins where there are so many
14782s	different story lines coming together we
14784s	have the latter giants of dapi and
14786s	waterloo currently putting the lobby in
14789s	check we have the comeback kid story
14791s	quite literally he's after going i think
14795s	tied 7th 8th into 8th into 7th with two
14797s	back-to-back first places is now ahead
14799s	of two other players in the lobby and
14801s	then we have this whole kind of mix of
14804s	players in the middle just so close to
14806s	getting the lobby in check themselves
14809s	yeah it's really exciting um
14811s	i like the comeback story just because
14813s	you know who
14815s	who hates the underdog so i'm really
14817s	hoping he keeps uh performing well and
14820s	just generally i like the storyline of
14823s	oh if players have more games you'll see
14826s	more players do well right so um i just
14829s	like that in in essence so i'm rooting
14831s	for all these players generally i hope
14833s	they all kind of showcase their their
14835s	skills you don't want to have
14838s	uh get out of finish the tournament and
14839s	just be like i didn't do my best and i
14841s	think a lot of these players now with
14843s	kid coming back is going to be like oh
14845s	at least i tried really hard so happy to
14847s	see that there
14848s	and we're going straight into it now
14850s	waterloo newly um added to the list of
14854s	players who can put the lobby in check
14856s	has a milhouse option uh but i think
14860s	has not really decided yet but dappy
14862s	picks the vol'jin which we've already
14864s	seen put a lot of work in through
14867s	naga are in the lobby so i like that
14869s	pick here yeah the middle house for
14871s	waterloo seems good for olyach i kind of
14873s	like the lich king goddammit could go
14875s	daryl but he needs the first place he
14877s	could also go yogg and hook to us
14879s	depending on if beasts are in i don't
14881s	think b star so probably maybe yog kid
14884s	going for the cal this is a little bit
14886s	interesting but didn't have a great uh
14888s	win valera with the death ring is also
14890s	pretty interesting not the
14893s	best hero but i know there are some
14894s	players that really like deathwing and
14896s	then you also have kermit on that safe
14899s	look at that triple decks lobby start
14902s	wait if your milhouse do you just lock
14904s	that i know you yeah float a gold but
14907s	it's such a good triple yeah you locked
14908s	up for sure yeah
14911s	oh man
14914s	is it level next turn it has to be right
14916s	because you're not double buying and
14918s	then
14919s	uh then you probably buy the two other
14922s	minions on the next turn oh gosh i can't
14925s	really even
14926s	mentally map this out but the thing
14928s	that's jumping out to me here collins is
14930s	that the two players with this gold
14932s	border on their um
14934s	health total means they have the lobby
14936s	in check and they in my opinion have the
14938s	two strongest heroes right now oh well
14941s	there's there's dumb it on yogg you know
14943s	so
14945s	oh my god what hello
14947s	any
14949s	did somebody um put any other minions in
14952s	the tavern
14953s	did somebody just
14955s	swabbies
14956s	really good uh from milhouse
14960s	normally you double buy here but like i
14962s	can definitely see the level here the
14964s	one issue though is
14966s	uh
14968s	what do you do next turn do you buy that
14970s	sell it and then buy again like buy sell
14973s	buy buy
14974s	and then just hold the swabby pair
14976s	yeah
14977s	if you buy sell by buy you're holding a
14979s	triple
14980s	well you buy the swabi you sell the
14982s	swabi then you buy another swabi and you
14984s	buy it oh and a different minion yeah
14986s	okay yeah that makes sense
14987s	man i'm just getting dizzy thinking
14990s	about all of this but one thing's for
14992s	sure the economy is amazing for milhouse
14995s	this way um you
14997s	get those swabbies and make sure you can
14999s	make up for the detriment on the hero
15001s	power
15002s	yeah um the light is such a good minion
15006s	yeah i'm just looking at the heroes and
15007s	what what which ones jump out to me it
15009s	would be the ca
15012s	or that's not the name but the uh
15015s	yeah it they're the same hero to me i'm
15017s	gonna be honest like fair enough i avoid
15020s	both of them uh and then we also have
15023s	only edge on the tickets right ticketist
15025s	has that hyrule potential but also very
15027s	very risky and the other heroes maybe
15030s	deathwing as well as a little bit uh not
15033s	a hyrule hero but the other heroes can
15035s	perform well if they get a good start we
15037s	already saw oleash on ticket this a
15039s	while ago to pretty good results
15041s	honestly i've struggled to use this hero
15043s	and the current meta after buddies have
15045s	gone so i've been happy to see that
15047s	olyash is still piloting that to good
15049s	results that be starting off with the
15052s	double micro mummy star pretty nice to
15054s	see especially on vol'jin but he hasn't
15056s	hit the absolute best starts of like
15059s	public in the shop with the divine
15061s	shield um which obviously vulgin can get
15063s	a lot of utility out of
15066s	yeah you're really essentially in the
15067s	early game looking for a blob like
15069s	because it has so much better stats than
15070s	anything else you can find but even
15073s	still vol'jin has a really good uh power
15076s	spike especially with nagas and
15077s	spellcrafts are pretty much get
15080s	permanent stats every time and you can
15083s	immediately find a critter
15085s	or
15086s	that five drop 33 and just swap the
15088s	stats with your biggest minion and have
15090s	a
15091s	really powerful
15093s	tempo spike there
15095s	interesting turn for doppy did would you
15096s	favor um giving the lava lurker a bit
15099s	more stats from the
15100s	pirate or just buying the pirate itself
15103s	in the lava lurker
15105s	i probably
15108s	oh just level okay
15112s	well he's trying to win the lobby right
15114s	so he's he's he's not trying the top
15116s	four here he's so he's just like i need
15118s	a triple and i need it early uh and high
15121s	level so he's just like not really
15123s	looking for it it's it's one of those
15126s	situations where
15129s	is this like we're going so risky but
15132s	maybe it's better to just get second
15135s	like get like top fours and then like
15137s	someone else wins the tournament but you
15139s	get guaranteed second however
15141s	uh you know he's still the first player
15143s	in check so he's still doing really well
15144s	and he does want to win the lobby right
15146s	he doesn't want to
15148s	get second place right like do all that
15150s	work and then get second place at the
15151s	end so happy's been there already he was
15154s	in the qualifying stage at lobby legends
15156s	one he qualified through to the final
15159s	day on lobby legends too and in fact he
15161s	put the lobby in track at the same time
15162s	as the eventual champion maxwell so i
15165s	think doffy is hungry for a true
15167s	championship victory this time cannot
15170s	blame him whatsoever uh waterloo
15173s	absolutely waterloo picked up the
15176s	dazzling light spawn as a four drop
15178s	triple now normally on milhouse i don't
15181s	know if taking four over five is the
15183s	general way to go but there's simply no
15185s	way his curve worked out cleanly if he
15187s	didn't take the four drop and he ended
15188s	up with a pretty good one here so i
15190s	think this is a very solid line from
15192s	waterloo yeah and
15194s	uh there aren't that many super great
15196s	fives uh i think for
15199s	the milhouse there except for nomi like
15200s	no me yes uh would be the exception but
15204s	even i've i've seen people struggle with
15206s	nomia on milhouse right because you do
15208s	need the
15210s	um
15211s	the 5 4 elemental
15213s	uh as well so it's not just nomi with
15216s	milhouse that can carry you you also
15217s	need that 5-4 and also need good rose
15219s	afterwards to
15221s	feel pretty good about it so
15223s	kind of okay with this direction that he
15225s	took uh lightspawn is a really powerful
15227s	card
15228s	uh this early especially with the
15230s	acolyte so he should be in a pretty good
15232s	spot now
15233s	checking in with goddammit who is
15235s	trailing the lobby he's the only player
15236s	who doesn't have the capability of
15238s	putting everyone in check even if he
15240s	takes a first place but clearly not
15242s	giving up yet picking the greatest hero
15245s	in the game
15247s	i never
15253s	that's
15254s	that's maybe more accurate i'll allow
15256s	that one yes
15258s	okay
15260s	pretty yeah i i i think i think people
15263s	always like talk too much smack about
15265s	yog they're like i doesn't you know win
15267s	the lobby it's not a shutter lock and
15269s	i'm like well nothing's a shutter watch
15271s	except for sure so you know i think it's
15273s	fine
15274s	that's my quote i know and i'm i'm
15277s	stealing it because you're putting words
15278s	in my mouth i'll take some of your words
15280s	though okay okay
15282s	fair enough
15285s	oh my gosh swabbies for life
15288s	yeah um the scally is also pretty good
15290s	too
15291s	um and he does have the free reroll as
15293s	well so maybe he'll look for that
15294s	instead since he can reroll get on for
15297s	it i like that
15299s	can double cell take the naga just
15302s	because it pays for itself on milhouse
15305s	and
15306s	no four seven for you
15308s	yeah i like it you put the naga first
15311s	and then the four seven oh oh he doesn't
15313s	oh okay well he got rewarded for sure
15316s	yeah that's huge finds the refreshing
15319s	rate can't just call it a 5'4 because
15321s	it's bigger than that now
15323s	yeah uh to be fair now that i think
15326s	about it
15327s	we're playing we're acting like he has a
15329s	know me and he doesn't right it actually
15332s	doesn't matter that much
15335s	you're optimistic
15337s	i am a fan of nomi when you're playing
15339s	milhouse yeah i i
15341s	but the the refreshing isn't that
15344s	necessary if you don't have to know me
15346s	yeah that's that's what i'm saying right
15348s	so it's not as good as it
15350s	it looks uh until he hits a know me but
15353s	he doesn't really have that option yet
15356s	there's also potential to find major
15358s	domo and the refreshing still i mean
15360s	recycling refresh uh
15362s	the wraith is still good at that point
15364s	here uh for dappy on the volgen pretty
15368s	decent start gets a lot of divine
15370s	shields but
15371s	um only one deflector so far this might
15375s	not be enough resets
15377s	yeah and and this isn't a crowbar lobby
15379s	i i usually like like deflecto scaling
15381s	when crowbars are also in because then
15383s	you can supplement it with a earth
15385s	ground shaker but since there's no
15387s	ground shaker he doesn't have that
15389s	extra power to deflect those so it might
15392s	just be a wicker variant of deflectors
15395s	but he is playing vulgen so he can still
15397s	do some tricky things with that oh
15401s	it's actually two triples right
15402s	it is
15405s	um but how to weave in the kirchhoff's
15407s	hero power alongside that
15410s	he's on stage two now right this board
15412s	looks buffed by once so he needs to buy
15415s	four minions in one turn
15417s	yeah i'm like like how do i get two
15420s	sixes that's what i was thinking
15422s	oh okay okay
15423s	how do i weave in my courageous hero
15425s	parrot like the answer is i don't but i
15427s	see what you're saying for sure okay
15429s	fair enough
15432s	no i i do agree like normally with this
15434s	hero you don't go for
15437s	uh high tier minions just because like
15439s	it's so hard to do
15441s	but he could have but decided to go a
15443s	little bit safer
15445s	green spot here is pretty good he used
15447s	to buy five minions with one so he's on
15448s	the last stage my bad
15454s	yeah i do like the green spot is there
15457s	any merit to argus just so you can taunt
15460s	up the spawn
15461s	i wanted six straws but he he he already
15463s	has uh taunts with the
15465s	uh
15466s	the spellcraft unit so it's not like
15468s	that big of a deal if he really wants to
15470s	talk to the
15472s	spot he could so i i just think like you
15474s	you do have the and he does taunt it up
15477s	just right so he does
15479s	uh prioritize that but if he
15482s	with the grease ball at least you have
15484s	divine shows and it's a little bit of a
15485s	direction so it makes sense to me as
15487s	well put things a bit more into context
15489s	for kid as well even if he took a first
15491s	place he would not be winning he doesn't
15493s	have the lobby in check what he needs
15494s	right now is uh
15497s	at least a third fourth place tie in
15500s	order to get enough points to then put
15501s	the lobby in check
15503s	but that that goes against my script of
15506s	going first four times in a row and
15508s	winning the game
15510s	you know
15512s	make a better script
15513s	i will let's have some up and downs
15515s	calling
15517s	the downs are at the beginning guy what
15520s	is fair enough
15522s	my script is perfect i read it like four
15524s	times double check
15528s	well he's improvising a bit yeah well
15530s	yeah the game's not over yet you know
15532s	we'll see if he uh he fights
15535s	okay there is the domo found for
15537s	waterloo oh those are huge now okay yeah
15541s	the light spawns have been just
15543s	getting a lot of work done with that
15545s	acolyte and the replicating menace in
15547s	there for some uh the perfect balance
15549s	between real threats so he doesn't take
15551s	enough damage and avenge synergistic
15554s	minions
15555s	yeah he needs to hit a triple though
15557s	um he doesn't oh my goodness
15561s	all right well is this the last game is
15563s	waterloo in check
15565s	yes uh
15567s	uh it's looking rough for everyone else
15569s	now he had to know me he did oh my
15572s	goodness it's looking real bad for
15574s	everyone else in the game now
15576s	these are these are not the hits if
15578s	you're not named waterloo in this
15580s	tournament uh-huh absolutely no no
15582s	murlocs in the lobby
15584s	counter the elementals kind of scarce
15590s	yeah so
15592s	i mean if we're just looking at it from
15593s	waterloo's perspective what he just
15596s	needs to do is make sure that he's
15599s	staying strong enough because he's still
15601s	trying to milk a little bit with the
15602s	light spawns but he just needs to be
15604s	strong enough to
15607s	get his to not take damage and get his
15609s	uh minions to die especially with the
15612s	acolyte and the menace so uh it should
15615s	be a good position even if he takes
15616s	damage here the maxi can take his 15 and
15619s	he'll still be 21 health so he could
15622s	even take two damn two losses and still
15625s	be fine i don't think you want to not be
15627s	milking in this position because
15630s	even if things go bad for you you're
15632s	still super healthy especially as this
15634s	super healthy milhouse so i really like
15636s	the position
15637s	that waterloo it's in it's it's just the
15640s	dream set up i think for a milhouse here
15642s	so
15643s	yeah he is perfectly recognizing exactly
15646s	how greedy he can still afford to be in
15649s	order to secure a first place like he
15651s	knows he's in a great position but just
15653s	making sure that he doesn't need to play
15655s	any stronger than absolutely necessary
15657s	you're gonna lose the fight by just a
15659s	tiny margin here but that's okay he got
15661s	so many more props on those dazzling
15663s	light spawns and dappy sees what's
15665s	coming he throws out the emote he knows
15668s	that the end is near he's in such a
15670s	similar position as he was last lobby
15673s	legends except instead of max seven key
15675s	ripping the victory away from his hands
15677s	it looks like it's waterloo
15680s	yeah
15681s	he kind of knows i i mean everyone would
15683s	know if you fought him you kind of know
15686s	this guy's got everything he needs to
15689s	win it's a nomi milhouse with a golden
15692s	uh refreshing and two
15695s	light spawns with pure scaling and he's
15697s	already at 20 20 stat line this early in
15700s	the game it's
15702s	it's so
15703s	it's so rough for anyone else to have a
15706s	chance to deal with that
15709s	that swabby triple oh my goodness it's
15712s	still haunting me
15714s	as soon as we saw that opening shop
15716s	collins we're like
15718s	[Music]
15719s	yeah if we're taking a look at the board
15721s	right dumb it's on tier six he's the
15724s	only player that is
15726s	actually trying to just hyrule like
15729s	crazy everyone else is on four right
15731s	there's
15732s	six players on tier four that really
15735s	looks like they're bunkering down not
15737s	really trying to win you have the uh
15741s	oleach as well being on tier five he
15743s	does hit the buster so maybe that's
15745s	gonna be a saving grace obviously
15747s	without
15748s	beast in
15749s	right i always complain beast uh beasts
15753s	non-beast busters aren't as good as
15755s	beast busters so maybe he struggles
15758s	there but generally he is also one of
15760s	the players trying to get a good
15762s	placement here trying to get the win
15764s	trying to make sure the lobby doesn't
15766s	end in this game
15768s	and all of them honestly should be
15769s	feeling pretty decent they have decent
15771s	they have good setups and uh very high
15773s	odds of getting that last amount of
15775s	points they were thinking they need to
15776s	put the lobby in check but as soon as
15779s	they face waterloo one by one they
15782s	eventually will they will know what is
15784s	coming and they will be praying that
15786s	somebody else in the lobby has the setup
15788s	to take down those elementals but no
15791s	murlocs so hard to get poison to counter
15794s	those enormous stats
15795s	yeah i mean i think we should try
15798s	talking about if you were in this
15800s	position as a competitor and you know
15802s	that oh waterloo's
15804s	um has this huge elemental setup how do
15808s	you deal with this right so
15810s	um if i was in this position what would
15812s	i be looking at i'd be saying okay so
15814s	this guy is going to late game have huge
15816s	murlocs i need to beat him in order to
15820s	keep this game going that means
15823s	two things i need to outscale him or i
15825s	need to scam him there's no murlocs
15828s	right so okay it
15830s	reduces
15831s	yeah we can talk about this board really
15833s	right but there's no roblox that reduces
15835s	the potential of scams so most likely
15838s	option to counteract this elemental
15840s	scaling is to outscale them how do i do
15842s	that in this lobby
15843s	no cold wars no beasts no demons no
15847s	murlocs it's probably going to be noggis
15849s	so i really like kid kid is
15851s	understanding his assignment here goes
15854s	for the six gets the athisa
15856s	gets that scaling online unfortunately
15859s	he's a little bit behind so he's going
15862s	to need
15863s	another like another atissa
15866s	or he could go for a gigantic cleave
15870s	angle so those are the two
15872s	angles i'd be looking for in this
15873s	position but i do
15875s	like that kid understands what he needs
15878s	to do
15879s	to win this lobby right he got two first
15882s	place before he's looking for another
15884s	one
15885s	what you're saying is collins you've
15887s	written the script such that kid is the
15889s	only hope for this lobby now i don't
15892s	think anyone else can outscale the
15893s	elementals i had to do it
15899s	i mean even even my script can't beat
15901s	the power of waterloo right now so yeah
15904s	it's it's looking rough
15905s	oh my gosh and every sally is just free
15908s	and so much more scaling and he doesn't
15911s	need to tear above tier four
15914s	waterloo
15916s	claims a new victim he floats a gold as
15918s	milhouse
15920s	just annoying subtle from beyond his his
15924s	work as well
15928s	it's gonna kill here right every i mean
15931s	he's too strong it's too early to have
15933s	this that line like this you're nearing
15935s	like turn
15937s	10 turn 11 turn 12 stat lines here and
15940s	it's it's probably like turn
15942s	it's turn 10 right now turn 10 right
15944s	yeah so he's like two turns ahead maybe
15947s	in terms of stat lines so it's just hard
15949s	for anyone else to have an answer to
15951s	this composition
15953s	i do think he kills oliash exactly okay
15956s	one above and oleash now knows that
15960s	there is
15961s	a very real chance that the tournament
15964s	is ending
15965s	right here right now but kid
15968s	is the chosen one right he's the one
15971s	that has
15972s	the hope for the lobby that's a leroy it
15974s	can kill one
15976s	the problem is he's fighting
15978s	uh the milhouse too soon right he didn't
15981s	get to scale he's going through his
15983s	training montage right now but uh
15986s	waterloo is like no no no training with
15988s	todd let me just fight you before you
15990s	scale i'm gonna kill you right now so
15993s	it's uh yeah it's a rough one i would
15996s	say uh but
15998s	well deserved you know for water i know
16000s	we're shooting this like maybe the
16002s	game's not over but oh double cali for
16005s	dumbed actually let me slow down here
16007s	okay i was gonna say does this ever get
16009s	there i mean he is very far behind but
16012s	you know the difference with elementals
16014s	and this is that you can tag a nadine
16016s	onto this at some point and essentially
16018s	double the stats because of the divine
16019s	shield
16020s	yeah this is
16023s	this okay so dumb it understands the
16025s	assignment as well i love this yeah
16028s	because this is the other composition
16031s	that can contest the elementals right we
16033s	have the nagas and then we have double
16034s	cali dragons so he needs to
16037s	continue scaling but he he will need the
16039s	nadina and there's a slight chance he
16042s	know he needs prester this one's a
16044s	little bit less uh necessary because you
16047s	know you're playing elementals
16048s	elementals don't necessarily have
16052s	all divine shoes you can see while
16054s	there's board only two divines here
16056s	you run another know me
16058s	and you triple this walker yeah yeah i i
16062s	know i know i'm i'm i'm holding on to
16064s	hope but my hope is like slowly draining
16067s	away every turn that waterloo plays so
16070s	it's a big round i appreciate the effort
16072s	you're putting in collins thank you and
16074s	i appreciate that you're ready to jump
16076s	ship an abandoned kid in favor of our
16078s	new savior
16082s	i'm ready i'm ready to change you know
16083s	we're like there's there's a chance here
16085s	but yeah kid uh fat fado at waterloo too
16089s	early and unfortunately takes exactly
16092s	one above what he needed to survive
16094s	there so
16095s	caramel
16096s	we saw his menu perspective he just got
16100s	knocked out as we didn't even see what
16103s	happened there but it was a solemn
16105s	expression because he knows his fate
16109s	yeah
16110s	dummy taking a little bit damage there
16112s	right um he really does need he was
16115s	fighting mex right so the pressure
16116s	would've been really good in this
16117s	matchup but he also still needs some
16119s	medina too so if he he does see a
16122s	prester but he's fighting waterloo no
16124s	no it's too soon
16126s	it's too soon he's too young
16129s	that's so rough there he needed like
16132s	maybe three four five six seven turns
16135s	and and he would have been strong enough
16137s	so
16138s	uh a bit unfortunate there for waterloo
16141s	as well maybe if he finds an adina he
16145s	might survive but that's
16148s	that's really stretching it but it's
16150s	it's definitely a possibility right i i
16152s	think he needs to find an adina oh
16154s	waterloo tripled
16156s	oh no the know me oh
16159s	um
16160s	oh he tripled again oh oh my
16164s	oh my i was the nomi and a gambler oh my
16167s	goodness so much money
16171s	we had to hold on to hope and i
16173s	appreciate you collins for hanging on as
16175s	long as you did but i am officially out
16178s	of hope for the lobby here waterloo is
16181s	just running away with it
16184s	yeah really well done from him right a
16185s	lot of good games he had that one game i
16188s	think where he went for tasman right
16191s	yeah that would be the only like really
16192s	bad game there where the tasman wasn't
16195s	able to
16196s	get the exactly the pieces that she
16199s	needed it was also a hard a hard hero to
16202s	pilot but other than that all his other
16203s	games were pretty well done pretty
16206s	pretty well piloted and he's just
16208s	steamrolling this game at the end as
16210s	well
16211s	gotta thank lorinda for giving us the
16213s	overview on everybody's comps and
16216s	confirming that there is no hope against
16218s	this the mechs do not get there against
16220s	this there is no scaling that could get
16222s	there aside from potentially the kali
16225s	geese but as we can see they are going
16228s	to get chomped off by one crackling
16230s	cyclone too early for goddammit to try
16234s	and contest this waterloo is just
16237s	blazing the path wasting no time towards
16240s	his championship at lobby legends number
16242s	three yeah i did talk about how i wanted
16245s	to see nomi's that was my checklist and
16247s	then i get to know me games in a row
16249s	right like so maybe they're listening
16250s	you know maybe like oh cause wants know
16252s	these i'll give you gnomies yeah double
16255s	know me
16258s	survives at one against the ghost
16261s	that's actually pretty good right so the
16263s	the nice thing about this is like
16266s	duffy is also getting a ton of points
16268s	here so even though he doesn't win he
16270s	pretty much secures second as well right
16273s	and and that's good to see that the two
16275s	players that got to check first played
16277s	the most consistent uh end up being the
16279s	ones that do take it home and also get
16282s	the first and second place prizing again
16285s	not buying the know me and conceding
16288s	you hate to see it you know he's still
16290s	trying to win
16291s	i mean waterloo threw out the sad face
16294s	there
16296s	this means war
16302s	going for resets needed a second
16303s	deflector right i think that
16306s	might be more useful it's just so hard
16308s	right to beat double golden nomi killing
16312s	it's not even the golden nomi skilling
16313s	it's the nomi with the
16316s	um refreshing elemental scaling
16319s	uh especially once it's golden you just
16322s	gain free money right and elemental
16324s	gives you a gold right because you're
16327s	you get two rows plus you get the s the
16330s	cell from the elemental that you bought
16333s	when you're playing milhouse so it's
16334s	really really good for that hero and you
16336s	just scaled so crazy fast
16341s	valiant attempt from dapi that is a very
16343s	respectable board um for turn 13 this
16346s	looks like the average um waterloo has
16349s	obviously hit way above the average here
16352s	i wonder what gohan is uh
16355s	going through gohan's mind at the moment
16357s	because i don't think he's really faced
16359s	um waterloo yet if he's still pretty
16362s	healthy here um meaning that from his
16365s	perspective he's probably like the last
16367s	hope for everyone here because the other
16369s	two players have the lobby in check so
16371s	he's thinking for this tournament to
16373s	continue i have to beat both of these
16375s	players no what are you thinking is this
16377s	this tournament is over let me slalk in
16380s	my seat up man well i tried at least i'm
16383s	getting second here copium well well i i
16386s	know i know college and then i was
16389s	trying to build a new oh okay sorry was
16392s	it i wasn't too truthful huh too
16394s	truthful okay sorry yeah it's too
16396s	realistic i was trying to build a new
16398s	narrative but unfortunately we saw
16400s	from gohan's camera that he was kind of
16403s	just checked out so it was a tough sell
16405s	for me i have to admit i i give up
16409s	yeah well i mean when you see that this
16411s	wheelhouse has been dealing like 30
16413s	damage to every player since like turn
16416s	seven you're like well
16418s	all right it's probably over for us he's
16420s	playing full known me okay
16422s	probably over here
16424s	kind of happens
16427s	yeah this kind of happens that people
16429s	keep taking 25 plus every single turn
16432s	this is so crazy
16436s	i mean it's it's like the perfect golden
16439s	nomi setup right you you you get to the
16442s	point where you're just buying
16443s	117s in the shop and that's bigger than
16447s	every single minion that gohan has it's
16449s	bigger than every single minion that be
16451s	had like you're just casually buying
16453s	them in the shop and they cost negative
16455s	one gold so
16457s	they do cost time
16460s	it's such a good milhouse lobby now that
16462s	we think of it as well pirates and
16463s	elementals are what i'm looking for most
16465s	on milhouse and not in that order
16467s	elemental more important and then he
16469s	just got the perfect pirates right the
16471s	triple duck swabbies straight off the
16473s	bat tripling into a four and finding the
16476s	direction straight away
16479s	yeah eat your heart out lightbringer
16480s	uther set this a hundred twenty hundred
16482s	twenty to fifteen fifteen a little fight
16485s	huh yeah i mean
16487s	it's
16488s	it's a good it's a good uh
16490s	final lap i think for waterloo here he
16493s	had a really good tournament uh really
16495s	played super well so
16497s	uh well done well parted by him
16500s	uh gonna keep the uh the 40 the 49 47
16505s	maybe sells it at the end very likely i
16507s	like what he's doing here yeah he's
16509s	going for the full
16510s	like you have no chance play so he's uh
16514s	he's going to go for the the wind fury
16516s	on the water the wildfire just to like
16520s	destroy any hopes he has gonna sell the
16522s	nomi just playing full tempo making sure
16525s	that the opponent has no chance i will
16528s	say he could have played the wildfire
16529s	first if he wanted to buff the uh the
16532s	molten rock plus two plus two so he's
16534s	still messing up a little bit at the end
16536s	but you know i would say pretty well
16538s	piloted you know pretty pretty good so
16540s	yeah we'd love to see it here
16544s	uh the picking to the end we have to see
16546s	it
16548s	a massacre i need to avert my eyes it's
16551s	just too painful the the the real
16554s	question is will any one minion die from
16557s	waterloo no
16559s	that's not a question yeah can't even
16561s	finish a tiny little side quest gohan
16563s	has nothing
16564s	like maybe that crackling cyclone you
16567s	know i do do that to be fair when i'm
16569s	like in such a horrible position i have
16571s	no chance of winning i'm like can i kill
16573s	a minion can i can i kill one just one
16575s	bob just one just one
16579s	usually i kill one so i'm pretty happy
16582s	at the end okay you won't never
16584s	sidequest failed there is no mercy from
16588s	waterloo here it is a complete massacre
16591s	flawless victory he is your lobby
16594s	legends eternal night champion
16601s	[Music]
16606s	yeah very well done from waterloo here
16608s	you can really see from the
16610s	start of the tournament he's just been
16612s	consistent just doing well shooting for
16614s	first places uh salvaging from the
16617s	second game he had that reno game where
16619s	he was like three hp he could have went
16621s	eight there salvaged up to a top two i
16623s	believe so really well done performances
16626s	from him he just had that one uh tabson
16629s	game but tams is a really hard hero to
16631s	pilot and you need a lot of things to go
16633s	right to to make that hero work so can't
16635s	even really fault him for that you'd
16637s	only fault him for picking the hero in
16639s	the first place but other than that
16641s	i think he just had a really really good
16642s	tournament really knew how to uh squeeze
16645s	every value from the heroes that he did
16647s	have and just shoot for the moons and
16650s	very well done from him there that's
16652s	right even though that last game was a
16654s	stomp and pretty straightforward i think
16656s	it's fair to say we saw plenty of games
16659s	from waterloo where he did very much get
16661s	to showcase his skill and tough
16662s	decision-making um especially on the two
16666s	vulgen games that he had over this
16668s	weekend especially one of them being
16670s	chosen over a shutter walk showcasing
16672s	that he's really comfortable playing
16674s	heroes that he knows that can be more
16676s	consistent for him when the right minion
16678s	types are in doing all the tricks in the
16682s	arsenal of uh having that huge win fairy
16684s	cleave when the naga are in and really
16687s	showcasing
16688s	why he is such a force on ladder almost
16691s	every server you can see waterloo just
16693s	at the top there grinding away
16695s	constantly battling for first place like
16698s	this is a guy who goes toe to toe with
16700s	jeep and xqn on a regular basis he is
16703s	nothing to be trifled with and i'm
16705s	honestly so happy that we get to see him
16708s	um in a tournament setting because he's
16710s	one of the few top ladder players that
16712s	at least that i'm aware of doesn't
16714s	stream or at least in a stream language
16716s	that i would understand so it's nice to
16718s	see the concrete proof of his skill here
16722s	yeah i was gonna say like i i really
16724s	think this one is very deserved because
16726s	if you
16728s	compete against him in in ladder or if
16730s	you watch it you know watch him play and
16732s	things like that you can really just
16734s	know how good he is how consistent he is
16736s	game over game season over season he
16739s	always does well always times really
16740s	well sometimes he'll just like he'll
16743s	just like post his match history
16744s	somewhere and it's just like all wins
16746s	just like
16747s	climbing a thousand mmr all wins just
16749s	like no no struggle so it's just he just
16752s	showcased that he's just an extremely
16754s	good player time of her time i have a
16756s	lot of respect for him so just glad to
16758s	see him showcase that in an official
16760s	tournament get the win and just you know
16762s	say hey i'm i'm one of the best in the
16764s	world
16765s	that's right and we do have no cards
16768s	left to reveal but we have our final
16770s	standings to reveal indeed adapi
16772s	actually ending up with the highest
16774s	point total so a very very deserved
16776s	second place here waterloo our overall
16779s	champion and gohan actually managing a
16782s	third place followed by valeera so a
16785s	very very strong showing from the
16787s	chinese players yeah i was going to say
16789s	that as well
16791s	just i was going to i was going to agree
16792s	with you right china is really
16793s	dominating this final tournament here
16797s	and i think it's kind of poetic as well
16799s	because we did hear from venice that
16801s	waterloo
16802s	even though he's not i think
16803s	geographically based in china is very
16805s	much entrenched in their scene and he is
16808s	one of the players that is responsible
16810s	for sort of delivering strategies from
16812s	the rest of the world to the chinese
16814s	scene because um like last year in hgi
16816s	we knew that there was such a stark
16818s	difference in the meta from there but
16820s	waterloo has really been one of the
16822s	pioneers spearheading like the
16824s	communication from the different regions
16826s	and you can see that the fact that he's
16828s	familiar with so many different play
16829s	styles and the fact that he spends a lot
16831s	of time in the game puts in the effort
16833s	and the time has really come to fruition
16836s	here very very well deserved winner and
16838s	huge congratulations to him yeah i
16840s	completely agree with everything you
16842s	said right definitely
16843s	uh a dominating player always good in
16846s	the game so really happy to see him win
16848s	uh this tournament we'll probably see
16850s	him in the future you know after this
16851s	one he's gonna have a chip on his
16852s	shoulder let me just do it again you
16854s	know that kind of thing so uh hopefully
16857s	we'll see more of him and
16858s	congratulations to all the players dappy
16860s	as well i think uh really also should
16862s	get a lot of credit from this
16863s	performance today very consistent had
16865s	the most points even so uh you can just
16868s	see his consistencies and all the
16870s	qualifiers and always does well when he
16872s	makes it to the finals so i also want to
16874s	give a lot of shout out to him as well
16876s	so uh really you know great players all
16879s	around and everyone really did
16881s	well even kid right head ups yeah at you
16884s	know pretty rough start but recovered it
16886s	beautifully so
16888s	a lot of great players here today he was
16890s	the only one with the two back-to-back
16892s	first places valeria and gohan even
16894s	though they kind of had middling
16896s	performances throughout the whole thing
16897s	it was just consistency enough to end up
16899s	still in the upper half of the prize
16902s	earnings and for the likes of olyash and
16905s	goddammit still a great effort as well
16907s	caramon as well and i'm sure we will be
16909s	seeing them in future lobby legends
16911s	because we still have quite a few more
16913s	of these tournaments to be played out in
16915s	the year um the each month the
16918s	qualifiers are still happening if you
16920s	are interested in trying to become a
16923s	lobby legend yourself just figure out
16925s	how you can get better at ladder because
16927s	at some point you're going to be facing
16929s	the likes of waterloo
16931s	very very good stuff collins thank you
16933s	so much for joining me here on the
